Avalon Station - 10405.23 - Deja Vu - Episode 6

Host Jules says:
When last we left the Knights, they had figured out how to turn the colonists back into humans......... but, what of the animals?

Host Jules says:
Can they figure it out or will the planet be declared "forbidden"?

 Host Jules says:
Lets find out.

Host Jules says:

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
:: Leaves his quarters, heading back for the transporter room::

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
:: Still standing near the female colonist just observing her.::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
:: Walks into the transporter room and over to the TR Chief::  TR Chief:  All-right, did those transporter logs arrive yet?

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
<TRChief>  CSO:  Yes sir, just got the last ones

Host Jules says:
<Lyla> :: rolls over and opens her eyes ::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
TR Chief:  All-right, lets get them into the system and see what we can see.

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
Lyla:  How are you feeling?

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
:: Works with the TR Chief inputting the trans patters into the system, checking for DNA pattern recognition as they go::

Host Jules says:
<Lyla> CO:  I...I'm better now.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
:: Taps com badge::  *CO*:  Hawkes to Captain Rushing.  We've received the last of the transporter pattern logs, and should have them installed into the system in a short while.

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
:: Returns to the bridge::

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
Lyla:  Can you tell me how the other colonists come to be transformed?

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
<TRChief>  CSO:  I still don't know how we're going to match up the animal DNA to the colonists.

Host Jules says:
<Lyla> CO:  Well, it all started with the strange animals.  They began coming into the camp and dragging us off.  That first night, 6 were taken.

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
*CSO*:  Good, will you be able to help to change back the colonists and well as our crewman.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
*CO*:  Well, in theory it should work.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
:: Shrugs to the TR Chief::  TR Chief:  We'll make it work

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
<TR Chief>  :: shakes head::  CSO:  This would be a whole lot easier if we had their actual un spoiled DNA rather than a copy from a transporter log.

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
Lyla:  Could you track where the taken colonists were drug off to?

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
TR Chief:  We have to work with what we got.  

Host Jules says:
<Lyla> CO:  We did, and 2 of them were killed.  The other 4 were taken to a small lake down from the camps water supply.

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
*CSO*: Inform me when it is ready.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
*CO*:  Will do.

Host Jules says:
<Lyla> :: gets a far away look in her eye as if she is reliving the experience::

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
Lyla:  When did you notice a change in your fellow colonists?

Host Jules says:
<Lyla> CO:  4 nights later, they came back, but they were changed.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
:: Watches the monitor as the vast terra-quads of data filter into the transporter::

Host Jules says:
<Lyla> CO:  Rohan was half man, half horse.... the others were half human, half lion.

Host Jules says:
<Lyla> CO:  We tried to reverse it, but we couldn't.  Then the infected colonists began taking other colonists and soon there were these little red plants all over.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
<TR Chief>  CSO:  OK, that's the whole lot.  It'll take a few minutes for the transporter to propagate the patterns

TO_Ens_Masterson says:
:: Stands at tactical going over information on the now former CTO::

Host Jules says:
<Lyla> CO:  More and more colonists were being transformed and the ones of us that resisted, they began to either kill or drag off and transformed against our will.

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
Lyla:  We had discovered that this plant, the red one you spoke of, was the cause of the transformations.  We are working on neutralizing its effects.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
TR Chief:  We'll have to bring a subject in one at a time, and run a DNA correlation search while running the pattern through the buffer.  With any luck, it'll find something familiar and be able to re-integrate the original pattern.

Host Jules says:
<Lyla> :: nods:: CO:  By the time we discovered it, it was too late.

TO_Ens_Masterson says:
XO: Sir, I believe I have found what we are looking for.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
<TR Chief> CSO:  Well, anything over one minute in the buffer at the energy levels we'll need to run, and both patterns will degrade too far to be of any use.

Host Jules says:
<Lyla> CO: We were working on an antidote.  But, before we could get one, we were down to 20.  And no help came, even though we had sent out a distress call.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
TR Chief:  I know...  I know....  You set?

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
<TR Chief>  CSO:  ready.

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
Lyla:  I am sorry that we were so late in arriving.  We arrive as soon as we could.  We tried to save who was left but one of our crew became infected as well and then we lost our CTO to one of the beasts.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
:: Taps com badge::  *CO*:  Hawkes to Captain Rushing.  We're ready to try one.  We'll need to beam one of the effected colonists to this transporter room, and try for a DNA match.

Host Jules says:
<Lyla> :: nods:: CO:  I understand Captain.  Do you know how many colonists we started with?

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
*CSO*:  Keep some force fields up outside of the transporter room just in case the one you pick is violent and doesn't successfully transform.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
*CO*:  No problem, we've got force fields up the gazoo here.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
TR Chief:  Your choice, pick a test subject.

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
*CSO*:  You may begin.

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
Lyla:  I believe it was around 200?

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
<TR Chief>  :: scans the holding area for the colonists (mutations)::  CSO:  I have a lock.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
TR Chief:  Energize.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
<TR Chief> :: energizes::

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
Lyla:  Our science and medical teams are working on a process to transform the colonists as we speak.

Host Jules says:
<Lyla>  CO:  That's right Captain, and in the last month, we have lost 25 to death, the rest, have been transformed.

Host Jules says:
CO:  Even the children.  :: Tears stream from her eyes ::

Host Jules says:
<Lyla>

TO_Ens_Masterson says:
XO: Sir, I found something interesting in the CTO's file.

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
Lyla:  I always find it the hardest thing to deal with when children are harmed.

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
TO: Really?

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
Lyla:  Where any of the children your?

Host Jules says:
ACTION:  A colonists appears on the Pad...but something is still in the buffer.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
:: Watches as one of the colonists appears in the transporter chamber, shimmering as its patters cycles through the pattern buffer::

TO_Ens_Masterson says:
XO: Aye sir.

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
TO: Lets have it.

Host Jules says:
<Lyla> CO: Yes Captain, my son.  They came and took him from my arms.  He now has the lower half of a goat.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
<TR Chief> CSO:  Got a bit of it.  :: Works controls::  Running pattern search.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
<TR Chief> CSO:  I'm reading two different patterns in the buffer.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
TR Chief:  Can you separate it?

TO_Ens_Masterson says:
XO: A year ago he came up missing.  The 4 months later he was found. They never did a physical on him because his retina scans and his prints came back the same as his file.

TO_Ens_Masterson says:
XO: He has yet to have a physical and has some how managed to avoid it.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
:: Glances at the pattern integrity monitors::

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
TO: Does it say where he was?

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
Lyla:  We will do our best to find him and make him whole again.

Host Jules says:
<Lyla> CO:  I hope so Captain.  I hope so.

TO_Ens_Masterson says:
XO: No sir. It only says he was found floating on the Federation side of the Romulan border.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
<TR Chief>:: working controls::  CSO:  I'm working on it.

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
TO: Romulan?

TO_Ens_Masterson says:
XO: Yes sir.  That is what the file says.

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
Lyla:  How many children were there?

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
TR Chief:  Pattern integrity is down to 98%...  Work faster.

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
TO: He had no recollection of what happened?

Host Jules says:
<Lyla> CO:  We had 40 children.  3 were killed.  We found parts of them.  We assume the animals ate them.

TO_Ens_Masterson says:
XO: That is correct sir.

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
TO: I bet SFI knows what is happening.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
<TR Chief> :: working controls::  CSO:  boost the confinement stream.

TO_Ens_Masterson says:
XO: The information presented would determine that they do yes.  Or at least know more than they say.

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
*CSO*:  Please be advised that there will be 37 children that will be transformed.  One will be Lyla's son.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
:: Works controls::  TR Chief:  They're running are 110% right now.  But I think I can give you a bit more.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
*CO*:  understood sir.  We are still working on our first case.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
Self:  Children...  That's just great.

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
*CO*: Horn to Rushing.

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
*XO*: Rushing here.

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
*CO*: I have a report for you Captain but only in your ready room.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
<TR Chief>  CSO:  I think it’s working, I'm getting some pattern separation

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
*XO*:  Thank you, I will be there momentarily.

Host Jules says:
<Lyla> CO:  Captain, I am very tired.  Please forgive me.

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
Lyla:  Duty calls.  If you need anything the medical staff is here for you and you may call on me as well.  I will let you know when we have more information about your son.

Host Jules says:
<Lyla> CO:  Thanks you Captain.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
TR Chief:  The patterns are starting to degrade; it’s now or never.

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
:: Takes her leave of sickbay and heads back to the bridge.::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
<TR Chief>  :: works control some more, and begins to materialize the patterns::  CSO:  Here we go.

Host Jules says:
ACTION: A full-grown lion and horse appear on the transporter padd.

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
::  Walks down the hall and enters the bridge::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
TR Chief:  That hardly looks human

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
:: Sets up a force field between the two animals::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
TR Chief:  Lets beam them to the cargo hold and try again.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
<TR Chief>  CSO:  Yeah, right.  :: Sets up a STS transport and energizes::

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
:: Looks around for the XO::

Host Jules says:
ACTION:  The animals are transported to the cargo hold

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
:: Figures he's in her ready room and walks to it.::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
<TR Chief>  :: targets another subject from the holding area::  CSO:  Subject number two, is ready.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
:: Nods to the chief::

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
:: Spots the CO:: Captain.

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
TO: Come with me.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
<TR Chief>  :: energizes and starts the process again::

Host Jules says:
<Davar> CSO:  I am Davar.  I was the head of engineering for the colony.

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
:: Follows the XO::

TO_Ens_Masterson says:
:: nods and follows the XO:: XO: Aye sir.

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: I have an answer for you.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
:: Looks to Davar::  Davar:  Davar?  Where did you come from?

Host Jules says:
ACTION:  A female colonist appears on the padd......again, something is left in the buffer.

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
:: Lets the Captain enter the RR first::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
<TR Chief>  :: separates the DNA and reintegrates the matter stream::

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
XO:  Thank you.  :: Steps inside and takes her usual seat.::

Host Jules says:
<Davar> :: points to the padd :: CSO:  You just beamed me up.

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
:: Follows the CO::

TO_Ens_Masterson says:
:: Follows behind the XO::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
:: Looks at PADD::  CSO:  I did.  :: takes out a tricorder and scans Davar::

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
TO: Let the captain know what you found.

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
:: Eagerly awaits the news.::

TO_Ens_Masterson says:
CO: Ma'am a year ago the CTO came up missing.  Four months later he was found floating on the Federation side of the Romulan border.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
Davar:  Head of engineering eh?  Any thoughts on what happened to your people?

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
:: Waits for the CO's reaction::

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
<::>

TO_Ens_Masterson says:
CO: When retina scans and finger prints were done they came back as normal and matched what was on file.  Due to this a physical was never done.

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
:: Listens intently.::

TO_Ens_Masterson says:
CO: He has managed to avoid having a physical as well.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
<TR Chief>  CSO:  I have another human, and an animal. 

Host Jules says:
<Davar> CSO: I know very well what happened to my people.  We were transformed.  It usually happened when other animals were drinking from the lake.  We were taken there and made to drink from the lake with the animals.  Once we changed, we were compelled to get others.

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
TO:  Well, I guess it is too late now to give him a physical.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
TR Chief:  Bream the animal to the cargo hold.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
<TR Chief>  CSO:  We're going to have a zoo down there.

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO/TO: That leaves one question

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
TR Chief:  Better there than here.

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
XO:  Only one?

Host Jules says:
<Davar> CSO:  But some of them were transformed by being attacked by infected animals.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
<TR Chief> :: works controls, materializing the human on the pad while beaming the animal to the hold::

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Ok a few.

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO/TO: Where is the real Hebert?

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO/TO: What are the Romulans up too.

Host Jules says:
ACTION:  Another colonist appears and the animal is beamed to the cargo hold.

TO_Ens_Masterson says:
CO/XO:  It is unknown at the time where the real Hebert is.  And we cannot assume that it was the Romulans who created this clone until we have more information.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
Davar:  I hear yeah, our chief tactical officer was carried off by a bird, ah thing.  

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
Davar:  Turns out he was a clone, so I guess no real loss there.

Host Jules says:
<Davar> CSO:  Was he alive when he was taken or did the animal kill him?

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
XO/TO:  I think we need to be discreet about who we inform of the CTO's death and him being a clone.  We need to find where the original is and to not let on to those who placed him back to us that his has been found out.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
Davar:  Oh he was alive for a while, still he was ripped limb from limb.

TO_Ens_Masterson says:
CO/XO: What I wish to know is who has the technology to clone?

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: I have contacts in SFI, I can see what else I can dig up.

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
TO: We know that the Romulans do.

Host Jules says:
<Davar> CSO: Then the animal was hungry.  He was eaten.

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
TO:  See what you can discreetly find out about that.

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
XO:  Okay, keep me informed.

TO_Ens_Masterson says:
CO: Aye ma'am.

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Absolutely

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
Davar:  I don't know about that.  Unless it was saving the best cuts to eat later, most ended up on the ground

Host Jules says:
