Host Jules says:
When we last left the crew of Avalon, they were trying to discover what 
happened to a Ferengi vessel.  There are also some technical difficulties
going on with a few of the systems.  The CO and XO have taken ill
due to replicator problems.  Lets see what the crew find out.

::Moans and holds his head:: Horgue: WHAT ?

CSO_LtJG_Foster says:
@OPS:  Yes, sir.  Disruptors.  ::Checks further::

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
<Lt. Rehorne> CMO:  I have an environmental relay that requires a micro-molecular scan.  Ensign Jargrens discovered biological microfilaments inside the relays but the medical scanners can provide further details.

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
@::Gets up from the center chair and goes over to the Science Station.::  CSO:  Romulan Disruptors?

CSO_LtJG_Foster says:
@OPS:  They are either Romular or Klingon.  Sorry, I can't be sure.

CEO_Lt_Kinsale says:
::Dropping a hot cable relay plug on her chest and patting at the smoldering hole::  OUCH!

CMO_LtCmdr_Slater says:
Lt Rehorne: Be my guest! ::Points to the medical scanner::

Horgue says:
::Sneers a bit at the sight of Krauq.::  Krauq:  There are rumors throughout the station that a Ferengi ship near here has been destroyed.

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
@OPS: Sir, I'm picking up an ion trail on heading 123 mark 25.  I can't determine what kind of ship yet.  The trail is getting very faint.

CEO_Lt_Kinsale says:
::Flipping it off her uniform tunic and into a tool tray::

CEO_Lt_Kinsale says:

CSO_LtJG_Foster says:
@::Sees EO and tries to assist::   EO:  Here, try this.

Horgue says:
Krauq:  Perhaps we should leave the station and proceed to the rendez vous coordinates.

CEO_Lt_Kinsale says:
::Sealing the access hatch::

Krauq says:
::Finds a half empty bottle in the lavatory and drinks straight from the bottle::

CSO_LtJG_Foster says:
@::Reviews info regarding ion trail::

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
<Lt. Rehorne> ::Her antennae twitch a little.::  CMO:  Considering there are biological properties to this contaminant, i thought you could be of some help.

CEO_Lt_Kinsale says:
::Striding down the corridor, heading back to Main Engineering, another item knocked off the maintenance to-do list::

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
@OPS: It looks like there are several inhabited planets in that direction and the ship could have gone to any of them.  ::Turns to CSO:: CSO: Do you agree?

CMO_LtCmdr_Slater says:
Lt. Rehorne: Okay, I'll scan them, but you wait here for the results ::Stomps our of her office, grabbing the relays out of her hand::

Horgue says:
Krauq:  You can stay here like the swine that you are.  I require payment for my cargo!

CSO_LtJG_Foster says:
@OPS:  Sir, I would like to suggest beaming some of the debris on board for a better analysis.  I'm not getting enough this way.

CMO_LtCmdr_Slater says:
::Walks towards a biobed::

CSO_LtJG_Foster says:
@::Realizes the EO just spoke to her and she doesn't know what she said::

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
@::Watches the CSO and EO.::  EO:  Beam some debris aboard but have it in a containment field until we know there is nothing hazardous.

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
@::Raises eyebrow at the CSO::

CMO_LtCmdr_Slater says:
::Plops the relays on the biobed and activates the scanners while looking over her shoulder at Rehorne::

::Thinks.  Female huh?  Hm...::

Horgue says:
::Stomps his feet and heads out of the Daimon's room and heads towards the turbolift.::

@EO: Let me know when you're ready.

CEO_Lt_Kinsale says:
::Walking by the technician's console and into her own office::

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
@CSO: Almost there.

CMO_LtCmdr_Slater says:
::Runs the relays through a full spectrum of tests::

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
<Lt. Rehorne>  ::Walks over by the Doctor.::  CMO:  We are thinking that these filaments were created by some small form of life.. Unfortunately it is disrupting the enviromental systems randomly on the station.

CSO_LtJG_Foster says:
@::Fixes on several likely pieces of debris::

CEO_Lt_Kinsale says:
::Neatly hanging her toolkit carisack on her rack::

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
@::Thinks for a moment.::  Self:  What are the Romulans up to.  It has to be them.

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
@CSO: I'm making the field small, since the pieces aren't very large.  Just let me know which ones and I'll transport them to the field.

CEO_Lt_Kinsale says:
::Calling up "Kinsale's Koffee Brew Number 76" from the replicator::

Krauq says:
::Chuckles and takes another sip of the brandy:: Self: Too bad he did not get all the details from the Captain like I did.

CMO_LtCmdr_Slater says:
::Looks at Rehorne and hands her a PADD:: LT: Here are the results, you may want to coordiate with Engineering on the results. Frankly they don't tell me much.

CSO_LtJG_Foster says:
@EO:  These are the ones I think would be most telling.  ::Sends info to EO console::

CEO_Lt_Kinsale says:
::Taking a moment to appreciate the aroma before digging in for some serious coffee consumption::

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
@::Sees info scrolling onto her screen:: CSO: Got it.  ::Taps an icon:: Transporting now.

CEO_Lt_Kinsale says:
::Sipping and reviewing the morning repair and maintenance reports::

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
<Lt. Rehorne> CMO:  Thank you Doctor.  Although I remember a time when Sickbay was a much... nicer place to visit.  ::Bows lightly, takes the PADD and relay and leaves Sickbay.::

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
@OPS/CSO: The pieces are in the containment field, ready for analysis.

Horgue says:
::Arrives on the docking level and heads for the port where his ship is docked.::

CSO_LtJG_Foster says:
@OPS:  Sir, I'll head down to examine the debris.  Would you like the EO to accompany me?

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
@::Looks over at OPS, awaiting his answer::

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
@EO, CSO:  Excellent.  Is there any further need for us to be in this area?

CMO_LtCmdr_Slater says:
::Thinks:: LT:  Well honey, this ain't no Disneyland.......::Walks off ::

CSO_LtJG_Foster says:
@OPS:  None that I can think of sir.  Everything of significance has been recorded I believe.

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
@OPS: Not that I can see, sir.

Horgue says:
::Sees a Security Officer::  Sec Guy:  I want to leave now.  My business is done here.

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
@CSO, EO:  Alright, begin analyzing the materials you beamed aboard, I'll set course for the ion trail.

CMO_LtCmdr_Slater says:
::Sits down behind her desk and calls up the schedule for the afternoon::

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
<Lt. Rehorne> ::Enters the turbolift and instructs it to Level Two::

CSO_LtJG_Foster says:
@OPS:  Aye, Sir.  ::Heads for TL::

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
@::Walks with the CSO::

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
@FCO:  Set course for the coordinates of the ion trail, best speed.

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
@<FCO> OPS: Aye sir.  ::Sets course.::

CMO_LtCmdr_Slater says:
::Scrolls down the list and groans when she notes she has a dental exam in an hour::

CSO_LtJG_Foster says:
@::In TL::  EO:  I hope we find something.

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
<Lt. Rehorne> ::Arrives on the Engineering level and walks into Engineering, looking for someone to help her.::

CEO_Lt_Kinsale says:
::Really enjoying brew number 76::

Horgue says:
<Sec Guy> Horgue:  We aren't finished with the inspections of your ship yet.

CEO_Lt_Kinsale says:
::Noticing Lieutenant Rehorne's arrival::

CMO_LtCmdr_Slater says:
::Tries to decide if she can get out of that appointment with Dr. Harizzari::

CEO_Lt_Kinsale says:
Rehorne: Hello there Lieutenant.

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
@::Nods:: CSO: Yeah, me, too.  ::Looks at the CSO:: When did you get onboard?

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
<Lt. Rehorne>  ::Walks over to an Engineering Officer and asks him where the Chief Engineer is.::

CSO_LtJG_Foster says:
@::Looks at EO puzzled::  EO:  What do you mean when?

Horgue says:
Sec Guy:  I have nothing on my ship!  I want to leave now!

CSO_LtJG_Foster says:
@::Arrives at debris in containment field::

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
<Lt. Rehorne> CEO:  Ah, Lieutenant... Kinsale I believe.  You are the Chief Engineer.

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
@::Pulls out a tricorder and immediately begins scanning the debris::

CEO_Lt_Kinsale says:
Rehorne:  Last time I checked, yes.

CSO_LtJG_Foster says:
@EO:  Are you getting a weapon reading?

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
<Lt. Rehorne> CEO:  I have a relay here that must be analyzed.  The contaminant theory you proposed to Commander Jappic has proved fruitful in our investigation.

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
@::Frowns, focusing the scan on one area:: CSO: Yes, in this area.  ::Points with her tricorder::  But I can't tell anything about it except it used to be a weapon.

CMO_LtCmdr_Slater says:
::Sends Harizzari and memo that she'll have to reschdule her appointment with him::

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
@<FCO> ::Engages the Hydra towards the Ion Trail.::

CSO_LtJG_Foster says:
@EO:  Hmmm.  ::Continues scan::

CEO_Lt_Kinsale says:
Rehorne:  Oh, goody. Well, let's put it here in our containment field, so that we can analyze it safely, shall we?

Horgue says:
<Sec Guy> Horgue:  If you do not calm down, you will be placed in a holding cell.  Now please, let us do our job and we'll let you to do yours.

CEO_Lt_Kinsale says:
::Gesturing over to a workbench::

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
@CSO: Are you getting anything more?  ::Shakes tricorder - sometimes that helps::

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
<Lt. Rehorne>  ::Nods at the Lieutenant.::  CEO:  I don't mean to spread bad words, but Engineering is much more welcoming that Sickbay was.

CSO_LtJG_Foster says:
@EO:  I'm trying.  ::Wills her equipment to give her more::  Nothing

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
@CSO: You'd better report it to OPS.

CEO_Lt_Kinsale says:
Rehorne:  You should see Sickbay when there are sick Klingons in there.  ::Rolling eyes::

Horgue says:
Sec Guy:  Very well.  ::Stomps away from the docking level and heads back to the turbolift and back to Krauq's quarters.  He presses the door chime again.::

CSO_LtJG_Foster says:
@EO:  You're right.  I was hoping to give him better news.

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
@::Shrugs:: CSO: We can only give him what we have.

CEO_Lt_Kinsale says:
::Firing up the containment field around the relay and preparing to run some analyses on it::

CSO_LtJG_Foster says:
@*OPS*:  Sir, we've discoved debris from a weapon.  However, the type is unknown.

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
<Lt. Rehorne>  ::Her antennae twitch in thought::  CEO:  That's something I hope I never have to see.

CEO_Lt_Kinsale says:
Rehorne:  So, what has your initial analyses shown you about our little relay here?

Host Jules says:
ACTION:  The ion trail has begun to deteriorate.

CMO_LtCmdr_Slater says:
::Coms Lt. M'Te to check on the XO condition::

CMO_LtCmdr_Slater says:
::Receives a report that the XO is resting comfortably::

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
@*CSO*:  Acknowledged.  I'm afraid the ion trail has deteriorated too much at this point.  I have diverted the Hydra back to the Station.  There you'll probably be able to scan the debris even better than on this ship.

CEO_Lt_Kinsale says:
Rehorne:  Oh, and before I forget, please pass your hands under that panel with the green lights.  It will decontaminate you from most bugs we know about, as well as a lot of particles that might not be good to have floating around.

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
@::Frowns:: *OPS*: Sir, I recorded the information about the ion trail.  It shouldn't matter whether it deteriorates or not.

CSO_LtJG_Foster says:
@*OPS*:  Aye, Sir.  I'll return to the bridge unless you need me elsewhere.

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
<Lt. Rehorne> CEO:  Ensign Jargrens detected biological micro filaments inside the relay here.  They must be caused by some kind of parasite.

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
<Lt. Rehorne>  ::Passes her hands under the green light.::

Krauq says:
::Moans and takes another drink for goos measure:: Horgue: Enter !  ::moans again::

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
@*CEO, SO*:  It will do us no good to search blindly regardless of the ion trail.  Our task here is done for now.  Let us try to understand why this Ferengi ship was attacked.

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
@*OPS*: Understood, sir.  We are on our way back to the bridge.
