::sniffs the air::

OPS_Lo`kar says:
ALL: Mmmm... Barbeque... Chicken?

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::Looks at OPS enter:: OPS: please prepare to transport the TO to the Morgue.

OPS_Lo`kar says:
::prepares to transport the body::

OPS_Lo`kar says:
CMO: Ready to transport on your order.

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::stands:: OPS: I didn't ask your opinion, I just need you to transport the TO to the morgue with all dignity due a Starfleet Officer!

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
OPS: Transport.

OPS_Lo`kar says:
::transports the body::

OPS_Lo`kar says:
CMO: Transport complete.

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
*XO* your location, please.

Host RAdm_Serok says:
CO:  I am not blaming you Captain.  I believe it is sabotage.  And I have been over ruled on this.  That is why I want you to do everything you can to find who and what has happened.

OPS_Lo`kar says:
::checks the damaged Tactical Station::

XO_Cmdr_Rushing says:
:: makes her way to operations.::

XO_Cmdr_Rushing says:
*CMO*:  I am on my way to operations.

OPS_Lo`kar says:
::pulls out a tricorder and begins scanning::

OPS_Lo`kar says:
ALL: Yup, this console is no good.

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
*XO* Aye, we've had a death in Operations, Ma'am.  I await your arrival.

Host CO_Kinsale says:
ADM: I can tell you that there were too many malfunctions in equipment that should have been fine. It never seemed right to me.  But, when we tracked it down, there always seemed to be an explanation.

SO_Ens_Hawkes says:
::taps controls, checking out the science station::

EO_LtJG_Simpson says:
EO_Toast: Report Crewman

EO_T`oast says:
EO: Sir... you might want to look at this  ::points to the parts on the floor::

XO_Cmdr_Rushing says:
*CMO*:  Are  you in sickbay or operations?

Host CO_Kinsale says:
ADM: It just never seemed that we could nail down sabotage.  But, I'm not willing to rule it out.  I'd like to be able to trust this crew completely. To do that, I need to be able to rule out sabotage as an inside job. Do you have any ideas?

EO_LtJG_Simpson says:
EO_Toast: Is that a plasma conduit?

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
*XO* I'm currently on in Operations.

Host RAdm_Serok says:
CO:  I am aware of the Captain.  That is why I want engineering gone over......:: searches for the correct vernacular ::  ...."a fine toothed comb".

EO_T`oast says:
EO: Sir... if you look at these parts... I'm sure these are from some detonation device... ::shows him the parts::

OPS_Lo`kar says:
::goes back to the tactical console and begins removing the console cover::

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::hands her a PADD:: XO: I would recommend an investigation into the TO death.  The TO's console exploded.  We need to know the cause.

EO_LtJG_Simpson says:
EO_Toast: Detonation? You mean sabotage Crewman?

Host CO_Kinsale says:
ADM: I'm not sure what the motive could be. Politics in this sector seem to be calm, but I don't have a big landscape view of that like you probably do. Have you heard anything that might motivate sabotage of this station?

Host RAdm_Serok says:
CO:  I feel that during the Romulan occupation of this station, certain programs or devices were left behind and they are set to be triggered either by remote or someone on the station.

Host RAdm_Serok says:
CO:  I do not believe it is any of your crew.

OPS_Lo`kar says:
::looks at all the burnt circuits and whistles::

Host CO_Kinsale says:
ADM:  ::nodding::  I see.  ::respecting the Admiral's theories::

EO_T`oast says:
::nods:: EO: I am not an expert Sir... but I'd say... Yes.... I think the folks upstairs need to know 'bout this

OPS_Lo`kar says:
ALL: This is like my mum's potato salad... except this is creamier.

Host CO_Kinsale says:
ADM: Devices that may be triggered unknowingly by crew members going about their day-to-day routines.  Hmm.

XO_Cmdr_Rushing says:
CMO:  Yes I will assign a team to it.  Please inform the appropriate people regarding the TO's death.

EO_LtJG_Simpson says:
EO_Toast: I'll call them. Thank you Crewman. Continue your investigation until I get more orders.

EO_T`oast says:
::grunts:: EO: Yes Sir

Host RAdm_Serok says:
CO:  I like the way you are thinking Captain.  I will leave this investigation in your very capable hands.

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
XO: Aye, I'll send the Captain and you copies of the death certificate and the means to contact the next of kin.

OPS_Lo`kar says:
::begins taking out the damaged isolinear chips::

EO_LtJG_Simpson says:
*XO*: Engineering reporting....We found a detonation device close to the  plasma conduit. We think it might be sabotage.

XO_Cmdr_Rushing says:
CMO:  Thank you.

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::nods:: XO: Aye

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::leaves operations and heads back to her domain::

XO_Cmdr_Rushing says:
*EO*:  Do what you can to isolate it and remove it without setting it off.  We also need an engineer up here at Operations to investigate this blown console.

Host RAdm_Serok says:
ACTION:  A station in engineering explodes and as a crewman without a com badge leaves engineering.

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::thinking an unnecessary death, a family has lost a son, brother or a father::

Host CO_Kinsale says:
ADM:  ::big sigh::  Thank you Admiral. In case this reaches outside the station, I'll contact you with status reports on secure com channels.

OPS_Lo`kar says:
::goes deeper into the console to reach the chips in the far back::

EO_LtJG_Simpson says:
*XO*: I have get Crewman Toast to look into it as I head up to Ops and look at the console.

Host CO_Kinsale says:
ADM: Will you  be staying with us long this time?

EO_T`oast says:
::jumps up:: All: Khest !  EO: SIR !!!!!!!!!!   ::runs to the console::

OPS_Lo`kar says:
ALL: Beaver dam! Come to papa...

Host RAdm_Serok says:
CO:  No Captain, I have every confidence in you.  I will naturally be sending you any information I receive and I expect a full report once you have looked at everything.

Host CO_Kinsale says:
ADM: Of course.

EO_LtJG_Simpson says:
EO_Toast: What is it?

Host RAdm_Serok says:
ACTION:  Another console explodes and all power on the station goes down.

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::enters Sickbay and looks up as the lights go out::  ::swears::

OPS_Lo`kar says:

Sickbay: Okay folks, you know the drill, get out the power packs and send out the teams to each level.

Host CO_Kinsale says:
::softly swearing in the sudden darkness and waiting a beat for emergency generators to bring soft lights online::

OPS_Lo`kar says:

Host RAdm_Serok says:
ACTION:  Emergency generators cause emergency lighting to come up.

Host CO_Kinsale says:
ADM: Problems seem to be spreading.  I'll try my best, Admiral. I want answers.

Host RAdm_Serok says:
CO:  I suggest you get right on it Captain.  I'll be leaving in the morning.

SO_Ens_Hawkes says:
::taps on lifeless control panel, notices the emergency lights::

EO_LtJG_Simpson says:
EO_Toast: I got to go, good luck

OPS_Lo`kar says:
::as emergency lighting comes on, stands up and goes to his station::

Host RAdm_Serok says:
:: nods at the CO ::

Host CO_Kinsale says:
ADM: Yes Ma'am.  You can find your way back to your quarters alright? I'd like to head for operations and get on top of the situation.

EO_LtJG_Simpson says:

OPS_Lo`kar says:
::checks the station::

XO_Cmdr_Rushing says:

*XO* And what's the status on our Tactical Officer that was injured earlier?

EO_LtJG_Simpson says:
::Approaches the damaged console::

OPS_Lo`kar says:
SO: You need power? Maybe I could reroute power from the life support systems from the docking ports. We're not going to be using them anytime soon...

XO_Cmdr_Rushing says:
*CO*:  He is deceased.  An autopsy is forthcoming and we will send words to his family soon.

Host CO_Kinsale says:
::pausing on the ladder and closing her eyes, leaning forehead against a cold, metal rung and grieving for her first casualty under her new command::

OPS_Lo`kar says:
::attempts to reroute power::

Host CO_Kinsale says:
*XO* Understood. I'll see you in Operations in a few minutes.

OPS_Lo`kar says:
SO: Try it now, Ensign.

Host RAdm_Serok says:
<T`real> :: turns a corner and his eyes get wide as he stares at the person in front of him :: K`larart:  What are you doing here?  I've done everything you've asked.

XO_Cmdr_Rushing says:
::sends a message to have the he docking ports closed and to have the docking clamps and mooring buoys maintained.  No ships are to leave and that no ships are to dock until further notice.::

Host RAdm_Serok says:
<K`larat> :: looks at T`real and just grins and pulls a phaser ::

OPS_Lo`kar says:
::receives a message from the XO and carries out the orders::

Host CO_Kinsale says:
::sweaty hands slipping on the rungs as she glances up and sees her goal is near::

Host RAdm_Serok says:
<T`real> K`larat:  No!  I've done all you asked!!!  No!

Host CO_Kinsale says:
::climbs up onto the platform and adjusts her tunic, trying to recover her normal breathing::
.

Host RAdm_Serok says:
ACTION:  T`real falls to the deck dead and the hooded man melds into the shadows.

Host RAdm_Serok says:
<Computer>  Phaser fire has been detected on deck 8.

Host CO_Kinsale says:
::entering Operations and taking it all in with a sweeping glance::

Host CO_Kinsale says:
OPS: Set up force fields on Deck 8.  Isolate that deck.  Now!

Host CO_Kinsale says:
::stepping down to her chair's platform::

XO_Cmdr_Rushing says:
*Security*:  Phaser fire on deck 8,  please respond to it.

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::glances up and groans:: *XO* sending a med team to deck 8

OPS_Lo`kar says:
CO: I'm on it, Captain. Force fields in place. However, with minimal power, I don't know how long they will hold.

Host RAdm_Serok says:
I thought he just took it with him

XO_Cmdr_Rushing says:
*CMO*:  acknowledged.

Host RAdm_Serok says:
<edit out last line >

Host CO_Kinsale says:
OPS:  Good work.  Steal power from anywhere you can to maintain them.
