Captain's log 10911.01
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
Things are improving on the Ulysses. Now it is time to get down to completing the rest of the mission. I am still waiting on a response from Starfleet about the suggestion that we leave the Cargo on the Ulysses and escort her to Starbase 76. Till then however we will proceed with the preparations to transfer the cargo.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
End Log
Host SM_Sam says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Bad Company VII >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: at his post checking over the cargo runabout::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: on Bridge watching as the preparations are being made to transfer the cargo::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Starfleet reports back, approves suggestion.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Exeter hears a creek coming from the corner
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> CO: Captain we just got a response from Starfleet . They have approved the suggestion that we leave the Cargo on the Ulysses and escort her to Starbase 76.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
OPS: Great. Open a channel to the Ulysses.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::in Sickbay, looking over the final results::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Finally something going our way.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: aye, sir
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Again Exeter hears a creek from the corner.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Contact the various departments and let them know that we are not transferring the cargo.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::ignores the creek:: CO: Aye, sir,  sent it through to all departments,  sir ::sends out the captain's message::

Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: This time the creek is loud enough the entire bridge crew hears
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: hears the creek:: CTO: Any ideal what that can be?
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: None, whatsoever, sir, heard it a few times before, but I tend to ignore creaking noises, sir
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: Quietly she works side by side with Jeddi while Oday deals with a patient.::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: There is a creek and then it sounds like a door slamming.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: hears the noise again:: CTO: Sounds like something has come loose. Can you locate where the noise is coming from?
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: my best guess would be that the ship's computer is playing trick with use, sir, because that was like a door slamming shut and we don't have those doors on the ship, sir
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: That may be true but I want to be sure there isn't something like a deck plate loose as well.
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: Quietly they discuss the viruses they have narrowed it down to, marking off those least likely::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: contacts ME to have a technician sent up::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Aye, sir, I'll find out, sir, still think it is the computer though, sir ::checks where the creaking and slamming noises originated from::
MO_Jeddi says:
:: Leaning back in his chair::  CMO:  That is it.  The last one.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Exeter walks over to the noises and finds nothing out of the ordinary, just some dust bunnies, carpet, and the usual severed hand.
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: Blowing out her breath in a sigh she glances at the chronometer:: MO:  And no match.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::Shrugs and goes back to his station, back to back shifts are probably getting to him::
MO_Jeddi says:
XO:  Which takes us back to some of our original inferences... if we ignore the one that it was deliberately done by our missing scientists.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Find anything?
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
MO:  Deliberate or not, they could be dead... or captured or they just went on vacation.
MO_Jeddi says:
XO:  Captured?
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: shrugs::  MO:  They would be good targets for a terrorist group.  Just one more thought to toss out.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: The usually ,sir, nothing of interest, sir
MO_Jeddi says:
:: simply nods as he watches her activate her commbadge.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: So how do you explain the sounds that we have heard?
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Yeoman Tilly walks by and hands the Captain a PADD to check over.
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
*CO*:  Captain, we have finished the analysis of the viruses in the unit and the one that the Ulysses just dealt with.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
::takes the PADD and check it over::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Computer malfunction, sir
MO_Jeddi says:
:: Stands to get them something to drink::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*XO*: Roger and what have you found out?
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Yeoman Tilly takes the PADD back and walks into the corner then screams at the sight of the severed hand.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
Tilly: What is it?
Host SM_Sam says:
<Tilly>: CO: Hand, a hand... ::Runs away::
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
*CO*:  We have only two concrete facts for you.  One, the virus the Ulysses is dealing with, is not one of those in the unit.  There are a couple that it resembles that does not leave out the idea of some kind of mutation.  The other fact, it is transmitted through touch.  Some team member might have touched something on the unit and it went from there.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: gets up and walks over to where Tilly was:: CTO: You call a severed hand nothing?
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::looks at the yeoman and shrugs:: CO: Didn't notice it, sir
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*XO*: Very Good Cmdr however we now have a different problem up here. It seems that we have found a missing hand on the bridge. could you send someone up to check it out?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Then maybe you should have your eyes checked as soon as possible.
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
: Lifts a brow at Jeddi as she takes the hot tea.::  *CO*:  Ummm... I am not sure I understand.  Someone on the bridge is missing a hand?
Host SM_Sam says:
<FCO Flight>::Mutters that is not all he should get checked::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*XO*: No Cmdr we have a hand and no one to go with it.
MO_Jeddi says:
:: mouths silently to her that this is not his area and only smiles at her look of disgust. At him.::
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
*CO*:  I will be right up sir.   I am as good as anyone right now.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::scowls at FCO Flight:: Flight: guess who just volunteered for double shifts.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*XO*: Roger Cmdr.
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
MO:  You, keep looking for the virus that could be the original.
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: Exiting the small lab, she heads for a cabinet to grab the items she needs.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: I wouldn’t be to hard on Flight he is only stating his opinion.
Host SM_Sam says:
<FCO Flight> CTO: You volunteering, Commander?

XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: Pausing::  Nurse: Prepare for a DNA check and... check records to see if anyone is missing a hand.  :: Ignores her look of disbelief and heads out.::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: I think I need some R&R, sir, been in the fleet for over a decade, sir....... getting used to maimed bodies etc, sir
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
Flight: You just did.
MO_Jeddi says:
:: Sipping his coffee he puts all thoughts aside and concentrates on his three remaining candidates.::
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: As the lift stops, she steps onto the bridge::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Sound like you  need more that a vacation Cmdr it you are getting used to maimed bodies enough not to notice them.
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: Looks at the two men::  Anyone:  Ummm... the item in question?
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Haven't had a vacation in  years, sir, and been dragging my behind from one war zone to the next, sir
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: sees the XO::  XO: Over here Cmdr. :: point to the Hand::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Well then maybe we should do something about that before you end up in a padded room.
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: follows the direction and heads for the item lying on the floor.  There she pulls on some gloves and kneels down to examine it.::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
XO: Suggest a DNA run through and check with the whole crew and then check if that person is missing a hand, ma'am
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Already been into a padded room before, sir,  that was my last vacation, sir
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: absently:: CTO:  Looking into that... :: After seeing nothing around it she picks it up::  This was crudely done.
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: Looks around... mumbling more to herself.::  No blood...  CTO:  This obviously did not happen here.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Well then I would suggest you talk to the Counseling staff and see what they can come up with so that you don't end up there again.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
XO: I think I would have noticed that, ma'am
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: Runs a scan::  CTO:  Looks like it happened sometime last night and all indications are it is human.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Are you sure you didn't even notice the hand to start with.
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: Pulls out a bag and places it inside, sealing it.  She then stands and turns around.::  CO:  I will take this back to the lab for further analysis.  I will keep you informed.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Been doing back to back shifts, I just glanced over it, sir

Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: Roger
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
XO:  Is it a right or left hand, male or female?
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: As she steps on the lift, she looks back::  CTO:  Male and right hand.
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: orders the lift back to medical.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Then since you have been working so hard and thing are a little slow now why don't you turn you station over to one of your people and take the rest of the shift off.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Exeter feels an itch on his arm.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Well, things just got interesting, sir ::scratches his arm::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Just a suggestion.
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: Entering the lab, she moves to the station prepped::  Nurse:  Thanks... now let us see what is going on here by finding out who this belongs to.
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: Taking the hand out of the bag, the two of them begin the DNA scan.::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::checks if any crewmembers haven't reported in for duty::
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: Listens as the nurse leaning over her gasps at the results.::
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: Shaking her head she contacts the captain::  *CO*:  Sir, a word in private.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Exeter feels the itch again
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*XO*: Roger one moment. :: gets up and heads for his RR::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::grunts and then scratches::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Cmdr you have the bridge.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: Enters the RR:: *XO*: Go ahead Cmdr.
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
*CO*:  Captain, the DNA registers as Exeter.  The only logical conclusion I can give, is that whoever is on the bridge with you, is not Exeter.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::nods to the CO: and takes the XO's chair::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*XO* Understood I will have him brought to you in sick bay.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: heads out of the RR:: Security: Take Cmdr Exeter to sick bay for DNA testing.
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: Looks up at Julie::  Nurse:  Prepare for a full physical... assuming he scans who he is supposed to be.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: I would suggest that you not give them any problem either.
Host SM_Sam says:
<Security>: CO: Aye.
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: Checks in at the backward to find Oday still busy with his patient; she does not disturb him.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
Security: And if he give you any problems stun him and carry him to sick bay.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: what did I do this time and that missing hand isn't mine, I still have mine ::raises his arms::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: That is the problem Cmdr according to our test the hand belongs to you and since you have both I have to assume that you are not the real Cmdr Exeter.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Exeter raises his arms and his sleeve rolls down showing a really bad stitch up job on his wrist.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::looks at his wrist and nearly faints::
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: Waits for the arrival of Exeter and maybe some answers.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Looks like you may be the recipient of a cruel joke. You need to report to sick bay now.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Aye, aye, sir
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: nods to security to take the CTO ::
Host SM_Sam says:
<FCO Flight>:: Starts laughing::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*XO* : Cmdr Exeter is on his way now it seems that some one has sown a different hand on him.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
Flight: And what are you laughing at?
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: Starts to say something only to pause and look at Julie who is shaking her head as well.::
Host SM_Sam says:
<FCO Flight>::Gets up and manically laughs:: CO: Captain, I think you need a new hand.  ::Pulls out the chainsaw::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
::nods to Security to stun Flight and take him to the Brig::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Exeter watches as he walked into an empty turbo lift and falls into oblivion. Waking up in his bed all sweaty and breathing heavily.
Host SM_Sam says:
