@::She runs several systems checks as she waits for the computer to calculate her course and speed. Looking up she sees the stars streak by in a majestic display of lights and she lets out a soft sigh. How she missed space travel::

CSO_Syrna says:
::starts going toward the lift to the bridge, not really looking where she is going::

CTO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
@<Computer>CTO: New estimated time of arrival - 10 stellar minutes.

CTO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
@::She smiles and looks back at her long range display. Hearing the computer, she smiles and taps several controls on the display before her:: Computer: Thank you very much, computer.

Host CO_KBeth says:
::looks over the scene and decides to go back down to the actual crime scene now and question the Custodian from there::

CSO_Syrna says:
::arrives at the lift and absentmindedly calls the car::

CNS_Enki says:
XO: I doubt the murder could have been committed by one of the freighter captains, but we should perhaps question them anyway to see if they know anything.

CTO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
@::While reviewing long range scans, she notes a Ferengi Marauder in orbit alongside the U.S.S. Delphyne, she also notices a Yacht vessel, and Freighter, which appears to carry a Federation transceiver code:: Computer: Identify following vessels...::She taps the scans into the computer and keys up the sensor displays::

CSO_Syrna says:

Host CO_KBeth says:
XO: The cadet and I are going to head back down now.  You have the ship.  Brief the new CTO when she gets here.

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::nods to the CNS:: Agreed.  Please head on up to the bridge and make contact with them.  I will be along shortly to help out.

CNS_Enki says:
::Isn't sure that was the answer she wanted... an Ensign talking to other vessel's Captains?::

CSO_Syrna says:
::arrives on the Bridge, back of her mind wonders where N'ka is...::

CTO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
@::Her eyes skim over the display before her, her smile not fading in the least. As she approaches her destination, a sensor goes off, a display warning her of the Melina's proximity to the system:: COMM: Delphyne: U.S.S. Delphyne, this is Lieutenant Commander Kaimana Xia of the shuttle Melina, please respond...

Host CO_KBeth says:
CIV: Follow me please, Cadet.  ::walks over to the Custodian interface and waits for the cadet::

CIV_Ferrone says:
::makes sure he has tricorder and a PADD...  follows the CO to the custodian interface::

CSO_Syrna says:
<Duty OPS> COMM: Melina: We read you.

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::nods to the CO and then turns back to the CNS:: CNS: If you want to wait until I get there that will be fine, but go ahead and start formulating questions.::

Host CO_KBeth says:
Custodian: Two to transfer to the crime scene.

CNS_Enki says:
XO: I will go ahead and begin without you.

CNS_Enki says:
::Figures it's a test of her self-confidence::

Host Custodian says:
Action: The CO and CIV are transported to the arch in the scientist's quarters.

CTO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
@COMM: U.S.S. Delphyne: Greetings Delphyne. I am currently transferring orders to you from Starfleet Command regarding my recent transfer aboard as your Chief Tactical Officer. Please confirm.

CSO_Syrna says:
::arrives at her station::

CIV_Ferrone says:
#::looks around  the crime scene::

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
<Duty OPS> COMM: Melina: Orders received please dock in Shuttle Bay 2.

Host CO_KBeth says:
#CIV: I want to check the cleaning robots for evidence.

CNS_Enki says:
XO: I'll see you on the Bridge, ma'am.

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::nods to the CNS and then heads out of the holodeck::

CNS_Enki says:
::Exits the holodeck, and calls the turbo lift to take her to the Bridge::

CIV_Ferrone says:

CTO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
@COMM: U.S.S. Delphyne: Understood Delphyne. Shuttle Melina out. ::With that, she closes the communication with a smile and returns to plotting her course. She accesses system on the Aldea system and does several piloting calculations, setting a location for her to drop out of warp - without crashing into something::

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:

Host CO_KBeth says:
#::walks over to the storage room::

CTO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
@Computer: Prepare to drop out of warp, lay in direct course for the United Starship Delphyne, full impulse. Prepare full scans of the Ferengi and Yacht vessel, and keep an open communication line to the Delphyne at all times...

CIV_Ferrone says:
# ::groans when the tricorder tells him that there is a button to open the maintenance doors::

CIV_Ferrone says:
# ::hopes the CO didn't see...  hastily pushes it::

CTO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
@<Computer>CTO: Acknowledged, preparing scans.

CSO_Syrna says:
::seems engrossed in Fletcher's notes::

CTO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
@::She stands from her chair and proceeds to the back of the shuttlecraft. Tapping several controls in a small wall panel, she released the locking mechanism on the storage pods and opens both, removing two shoulder sack and returning to the front of the shuttle to take her seat for entry...:: Computer: Decrease speed, prepare for vector approach.

CNS_Enki says:
::Arrives on the Bridge, and walks over to command center... should she sit in the command chair to look impressive?  Or sit in her own chair?  The feed could be altered to focus on her only::

Host CO_KBeth says:
#::carefully keeps her expression neutral as the Cadet pushes the button and then peers inside.  Gestures for the Cadet to start scanning:: CIV: Before we move anything, run some scans and take visuals.

Host Custodian says:
Action: The door opens revealing a small alcove containing two cleaning bots.  They are each about a meter tall, one has several grasping arms while the other seems to be a vacuum design...

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::arrives in the shuttle bay and heads over to the flight control officer in charge of docking in the SB::

Host Custodian says:
Action: The Alcove contains a small matter replicator and a disposal unit.

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
<FC Officer> XO: She is heading in now.

CIV_Ferrone says:
#::nods::  CO: Yes, s...  ma'am..  ::scans the area inside the alcove for DNA traces::

CTO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
@::As she does her best to gracefully pilot into the shuttle bay, she prepares the ship's systems as the shuttle bay tractor takes hold of her shuttle. She smiles and prepares the shutdown sequence as she lands safely in the middle of the bay - no one has been hurt yet; definitely a good sign::

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::nods:: FC Officer: When she lands prep the shuttle again.  Our CEO will be leaving on it shortly.

CNS_Enki says:
::Takes a seat in her own chair, so that when the XO comes up, she can sit in the command chair:: Duty OPS: Can you open a channel to the ... ::which first:: ... Ferengi vessel.

CTO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She has arrived aboard the U.S.S. Delphyne and as such, she begins to prepare to step onto her new assignment:: Computer: Begin shutdown sequence, prepare for standard pressurization.

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::watches the shuttle land and then moves to receive there new CTO::

CIV_Ferrone says:
# ::looks at the results and then over at the CO::  CO: Ma'am, I'm picking up DNA traces of the science team...  and Carish.

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
<Duty OPS> ::mutters about losing yet another CEO::

CTO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::As the doors his open and slowly begin to retract, she grabs hold of the two bags and wraps the handles across her body, feeling their weight pull down on her shoulders. Letting out a soft sigh, she pulls her hair back and with a smile steps out onto the fresh hair of the shuttle deck::

CIV_Ferrone says:
# ::sets the tricorder for a more general scan looking for anything that is out of the ordinary::

CSO_Syrna says:
::ears perk up, sits straighter and stiffer if that is at all possible for a Vulcan to do:: OPS: What?

Host CO_KBeth says:
#CIV: Where is Carish's DNA located?  On one of the cleaning robots?

CNS_Enki says:
::Looks at the OPS officer, too, wondering if they'll open the channel...::

CTO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::For a brief moment she just stands there, allowing her eyes to glance over the room, and the Commander before her. She stands there, tall and proud. He body is that of a dancer - fit, and muscular...confidence has allowed her to boost her physical appearance, strong...proud...::

CIV_Ferrone says:
#::ceases the general scan and tries to locate where Carish's DNA trace is located::

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::smiles and approaches the CTO:: Welcome aboard Commander.  I am Sykora Tarrez-Merna the First officer of the USS Delphyne ::extends a hand to greet her::

CIV_Ferrone says:
# CO: Ma'am... it appears that the DNA traces are coming from the cleaning robot...  looks like skin cells...

CTO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She takes several steps down the shuttle ramp, her boots clicking along the way, echoing in the deep walls of the shuttle bay. She slowly approaches the Romulan hybrid before her, taking note of her physical features and demeanor. She slowly holds out her hand with a smile and looks the Commander in the eye:: XO: Greetings Commander.

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
<Duty OPS>CSO: The CEO is transferring off. ::opens the channel:: CNS: Channel opened.

CSO_Syrna says:
::looks shocked for a moment, hurriedly leaves the bridge::

CIV_Ferrone says:
# CO: Do we know when this robot was last activated?

CTO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
XO: ...if it would not be an inconvenience, I would like to speak to your Commanding Officer immediately, ma'am. ::She smiles and he eyes glisten with an angelic glow:: Captain K'Beth I believe?

Host CO_KBeth says:
#::nods:: CIV: Do you have all the scans you need before we disturb these items?

CNS_Enki says:
::Feels sorry for the CSO.. will have to speak to her soon::

CIV_Ferrone says:
# CO: I'm wondering why Carish's skin cells would be present when nobody else, besides the science team, was.

CIV_Ferrone says:
# ::checks his tricorder, backing up the data, and ensuring the general scan was completed::

CNS_Enki says:
COM: Ferengi Vessel: Ferengi Vessel, this is the USS Delphyne.  We wish to discuss obtaining information from you.

CSO_Syrna says:
::taps her foot impatiently in the  lift::

Host Daimon_Pez says:
COM:CNS: What do you want Hoomon?

Host CO_KBeth says:
#CIV: We know they were not activated since the murders.  Ask the Custodian when they were last activated and if there is a record of their movements.  I want to look around in here.

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
CTO: I am afraid that is not possible at the moment.  The CO is on the planet.  I can how ever have your things taken to your quarters and you can wait for her with me on the bridge. ::motions for one of the crewmen to retrieve the CTO's things::

CSO_Syrna says:
::rides the lift down to the shuttle bay, hoping to catch the CEO::

CIV_Ferrone says:
#CO: Yes, ma'am...  I've stored all the data that the tricorder is going to pick up...

Host Daimon_Pez says:
COM:CNS: Oh!  My apologies, what do you want…Trill?

CTO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She places two of the bags on the ground and opens one quickly, obtaining a tricorder, hand phaser and PADD. She places the first two items in the small pouches on her belt and takes a tight grasp on the third:: XO: That will be acceptable...::She smiles and nods:: To the bridge then?

CNS_Enki says:
COM: Pez: We were wondering if you knew anything about the Federation Science Team that had been stationed on the planet

CIV_Ferrone says:
# ::sits outside the alcove::  Custodian:  When was this cleaning bot last activated?

Host CO_KBeth says:
#CIV: Hand me your tricorder please while you question the Custodian.  I want to look at this disposal and replicator units.

Host Daimon_Pez says:
COM: CNS: ::Smiles::  Yes, they are dead.  So I am told.  Are you interested in purchasing a desiccation process for them?

CIV_Ferrone says:
# ::hands his tricorder over to the CO::  Here you go, ma'am.

CSO_Syrna says:
::arrives in the shuttle bay in time to see the CEO enter the shuttle, follows him in and says her goodbyes::

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::nods:: CTO: Very well. ::walks out the shuttle bay and down into the TL::

CIV_Ferrone says:
# ::looks longingly at the tricorder, wondering if he'll ever get it back again...::

Host Custodian says:
#CIV: The cleaning bots were last activated at 13:00 hours, local time, 27 hours ago.

CNS_Enki says:
::Wonders how he heard they were dead:: COM: Pez: Perhaps we could discuss how you came across that information, or what ever else you know about that incident.

Host CO_KBeth says:
#CIV: Thank you, Cadet.  ::starts to scan the disposal unit and the replicator::

Host Daimon_Pez says:
COM: CNS: Perhaps.  Over dinner?

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::waits for the CTO:: TL: Bridge.  ::wonders on the trip up if this CTO is also involved with SFI.::

Host Daimon_Pez says:
::Smiles showing lots of pointed teeth in a leer::

CTO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She follows beside the Commander, standing tall and watching the officers that pass by:: XO: Excelsior class starship, crew compliment of 450 officers. My guesstimations approximate a security force of 63 personnel, in addition to myself  and an assistant...is that correct in this case, ma'am? ::She enters the lift behind the Commander and stands::

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
CTO: Not quite, you actually normally have 100 personnel.  We are a bit short-handed in all departments so you only have 70 now.  May I ask how you came to be on the Del?

CIV_Ferrone says:
# Custodian: How long after the cleaning bot's last activation did the murders occur?

CSO_Syrna says:
::exits the shuttle, watches as it takes off, holding back the tears and even though she knows he cannot hear her, she also projects her words telepathically:: CEO: Mene sakkhet ur-seveh, N'ka.

CNS_Enki says:
::Smiles warmly:: COM: Pez: How soon?

Host Custodian says:
# CIV: Unknown, exact time of death not established.

CIV_Ferrone says:
# ::silently curses the Custodian::

Host CO_KBeth says:
#::From inside the alcove:: CIV: Cadet, ask the Custodian what was the last item to be replicated here and what was the last item disposed of, and when.

CTO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
XO: After my reassignment from the U.S.S. Trykani, I was assigned to Utopia Planetia in an auxiliary role. I've been working on the Defiant Class Upgrade Project under the supervision of Admiral Darek Haydes...a few weeks ago however I received orders from the Admiral that I would be transferred to a new deep space assignment, the U.S.S. Delphyne...

Host Daimon_Pez says:
COM:CNS: I am free this evening.  Say, seven o'clock?

CIV_Ferrone says:
#::hears the comment from the peanut gallery:: CO: Yes, ma'am.

Host CO_KBeth says:
#::bends down to examine the cleaning bot with all of the arms::

CIV_Ferrone says:
# Custodian:  The replicator and disposal unit... what was the last item to be replicated there?  What time?  What was the last item to be disposed of there?  What time?

CTO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She smiles and exits the lift as it comes to a halt with a low hiss. She looks around the bridge of the Delphyne with an approving smile, quickly noticing the display reading "Tactical" in that foolish Terran English language:: XO: Quite an impressive vessel you have, ma'am. An updated model I presume?

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
CTO: Very well. Yes it is. Please take your station ::hands her a PADD that contains all that  they have discovered thus far and then motions to the CTO console.::

Host Custodian says:
#CIV: The last item replicated in this chamber was a cleaning cloth at 12:56pm.  The last item disposed of was that same cloth, 43.3 minutes later.

CNS_Enki says:
::Pulls at the collar of her uniform, exposing a little more skin:: COM: Pez: Is there anything you can tell me now?

CTO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
XO: Understood, Commander...::She nods and heads in the direction of the display and relieves the Junior Officer assigned there. Her fingers run over the display as she logs in and begins to input her control codes and authorization from Starfleet Command - ensuring that the U.S.S. Delphyne systems recognize her presence and authority::

CSO_Syrna says:
::stoically blinks back the tears:: Self: I must return to duty... N'ka would have wanted it that way. ::leaves the shuttle bay slowly::

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::immediately turns her attention to the CNS who is talking to Ferengi Pez.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::Immediately she schedules a briefing with the entire Tactical department early the next morning and begins running internal scans, reviewing all the data at her disposal:: XO: Commander Tarrez-Merna, a question if I may?

CSO_Syrna says:
::gets into the lift:: TL: Bridge... ::almost sounds depressed::

Host Daimon_Pez says:
COM:CNS: ::Leans forward and stares::  Well, umm, perhaps.  What do you wish to know?

Host CO_KBeth says:
#::pulls out the waste containers on both robots and looks in them.  Scans them with the tricorder::

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::nods and walks over to the CTO console not thinking that it would be good to interrupt the CNS's conversation at the moment.:: CTO: Yes?

CTO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
XO: Due to the relative concerns with data safety, it will be required that you release all data pertaining to your Chief Tactical Officer's official records. If you could please do so, that would be greatly appreciated...

CSO_Syrna says:
::arrives on the  bridge, walking slowly, not her normal brisk walk, returns to her station and gets back to Fletcher's notes::

CIV_Ferrone says:
# CO: Ma'am...  the Custodian tells me that a cleaning cloth was used to in the replicator and the disposal unit....

CNS_Enki says:
COM: Pez: Do you know who killed them?

CIV_Ferrone says:
# Custodian:  What item was replicated and disposed of before the cleaning cloth?

Host CO_KBeth says:
#::stands up and brushes off her hands:: CIV: Empty...both of them.  ::looks around:: Well, Cadet, any ideas?

CIV_Ferrone says:
#::silently wonders if the cloth was just used to hide finger prints::

CIV_Ferrone says:
#CO: Ma'am... the cloth *might* have been used to conceal fingerprints...

Host Daimon_Pez says:
COM: CNS: No.  I have no idea.  Now, your ship or mine?

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::nods and inputs her codes to pull up the ex-CTO's offical record::

Host Custodian says:
#CIV: A bottle of cleaning solvent.

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::taps in a message to the CNS:: CNS: Ours! ::sends it to her console::

CTO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She begins to tap into the LCARS database and accesses several log bundles in the computer core. She watches as the security encryptions fall away as the security codes are inputted by the woman beside her. A slight nod and her eyes immediately drift down to the reports:: XO: Thank you, Commander, that will be all.

CIV_Ferrone says:
#Custodian: Who was the last person or entity to use the replicator and disposal units?

CNS_Enki says:
COM: Pez: Why don't you make arrangements with the ops officer to beam over here later?  Now... you sure you don't know anything?  ::A "slip" of her hand causes it to run down her chest, exaggerating her natural beauty::

CSO_Syrna says:
::puts her personal feelings aside, something Vulcans are good at, starts focusing her mind on Fletcher's notes, anything to keep her from thinking of.... him::

Host Custodian says:
#CIV: No one.  This unit is controlled solely by me.

Host CO_KBeth says:
#CIV: That's possible.  Traces of the science team and Carish's DNA were also in here.

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::feels like she is doing more running around than anything and has not a clue what the CNS has going with the Ferengi::

Host Daimon_Pez says:
::Stares harder and swallows a couple of times::  COM:CNS: um, yes, arrangements, of course.  Well, I will tell you one thing, if there was a race of beings in the quadrant more cheaper than the Hoomons, it is these Aldeans.

CTO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She begins tapping into records and looks up from her display slowly:: CSO: Lieutenant...::She pauses to think::...Lieutenant Syrna, your assistance please...

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::wonders what he means by cheap::

CSO_Syrna says:
::looks over at the new person in the yellow collar and logically deduces she must be the new CTO: CTO: Yes?

CIV_Ferrone says:
#Custodian: Are there any anomalous "holes" in your memory or recorded logs with regard to the replicator and disposal units?  Please cross reference the video and audio "holes" that have been discovered with the room's surveillance systems.

Host Daimon_Pez says:
COM:CNS: I will beam over to your ship at 1900 hours then.  ::Smiles again::

Host CO_KBeth says:
#::walks over to the stand next to the CIV:: Good question, Cadet.

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::moves back towards the command chairs but stays out of the view screen::

CNS_Enki says:
::Wonders what he means by cheap... realizes she's not going to get much out of him:: COM: Pez: See you then...

CTO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::Her eyes look away from the Chief Science Officer, and she skims quickly over the PADD she received from the Commander, downloading relevant information into her own personal PADD and logs in several entries from her predecessor as well:: CSO: I would like to obtain any records of geological and atmospheric scans of Aldea run by your department.

CNS_Enki says:
COM: Pez: I can't wait.  ::Smiles::

CIV_Ferrone says:
#CO: Ma'am, I just don't know why Carish's cells would have been picked up...  unless he was in here before the bot was started...  possibly reprogramming...

Host Custodian says:
#CIV: Yes.  There is a gap in my records that corresponds to that I am experiencing in the recorders in this area.

Host CO_KBeth says:
#Custodian: Would anyone have access to programming these robots?

CNS_Enki says:
::Bends over::

Host Daimon_Pez says:
::Licks his lips and fumbles at the console a bit, before ending the call.::

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
<Duty OPS> ::closes channel::

CIV_Ferrone says:
#CO: ::smiles::  maybe he used the cleaning cloth and cleaning solvent to wipe his finger prints away after reprogramming the bot.

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
CNS: Report, please. ::takes the command chair::

CSO_Syrna says:
CTO: Certainly. ::turns back to her console and with lightening speed pulls them up, sends them to the TAC Console and goes back to reading Fletcher's notes::

CNS_Enki says:
XO: Ma'am, do you think it would be possible to program a hologram to meet with him rather than me?

CNS_Enki says:
XO: We could program the holodeck to show the entire ship.. he would never know...

CTO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
CSO: Thank you for your efficiency, Lieutenant...::She smiles - knowing the Vulcan will not care for such pleasantries - and looks down at the new sets of scans beginning to appear on her console. Had she not been requesting such data, she would almost feel overwhelmed::

Host Custodian says:
#CO: I am responsible for all programming of the cleaning and maintenance robots.

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::grins:: CNS: Afraid not, but I may be able to arrange backup for you.  Now what did you get?

Host CO_KBeth says:
#::nods:: CIV: That's very likely.  But what reason would he have for the murders?

CNS_Enki says:
XO: Nothing.  He claims to know nothing about the murders, although he did know the team was killed.

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
CNS: Did he say how he knew that?

CSO_Syrna says:
::sounds an acknowledgement to the CTO, keeping her eye on her reading::

Host CO_KBeth says:
#Custodian: But could anyone else gain access to their programming?  Maybe within that anomalous gap you have in your recorders?

Host Custodian says:
#CO: It is possible, though quite unlikely.

CNS_Enki says:
XO: No.

CIV_Ferrone says:
#Custodian: Do any records exist for Carish using the transportation arch to arrive in these quarters before the robot was last activated?

Host Custodian says:
#CIV: Yes.

CNS_Enki says:
XO: Perhaps we will have better luck with the other two ships... ::Places the thoughts of the Ferengi Pez out of her mind::

CTO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She rolls up the sleeves of her duty uniform several centimeters, allowing her skin to breath the oxygen rich atmosphere presented by the artificial environment. She smiles as her fingers run delicately over the console before her, using it to co-ordinate masses of data from the pass several weeks, condensing it into a manageable format on her PADD::

CIV_Ferrone says:
#Custodian: Did Carish ever enter the cleaning bot's alcove or access the bot?

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:

CSO_Syrna says:
::sees a side note, Check Files on M6::

Host Custodian says:
#CIV: No.  My records do not indicate that this was ever done.

CNS_Enki says:
::Puts her professional smile on again::

CSO_Syrna says:
::thinks: What is M6?::

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
<Duty OPS>  ::opens the channel::

CIV_Ferrone says:
#::gets an idea::  Custodian:  Theoretically...  what could cause the disruptions to your recording systems?

CSO_Syrna says:
All: Any one heard of an M6?

Host Custodian says:
#CIV: Malfunction or sabotage

CNS_Enki says:
CSO: An M6?  Could that be an upgrade to an old M5 computer system?

CIV_Ferrone says:
# CO: Ma'am, I don't know if he did it, but I just find it suspicious that his skin cells were picked up...

Host CO_KBeth says:
#Custodian: What are the chances of you suffering a malfunction of that kind?

CTO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
CSO: I believe I have heard the term used previously in historical records, however such a context would be inappropriate in this setting. It may be advisable to check the Federation database and cross reference with any notes pertaining to Aldea and previous planetary contact...

CSO_Syrna says:
CNS: Could be... let me check. :;goes to database::

Host Custodian says:
#CO: I have never suffered such a malfunction.

CNS_Enki says:
::Shrugs her shoulders at the CSO::
CIV_Ferrone says:
#Custodian: The recording equipment is in perfect working condition...  what could cause their disruption?  

Host CO_KBeth says:
#Custodian: What was the closest time before 1300 that Carish transported to these quarters?

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
COMM: Ship Designer Vessel: This is Commander Tarrez-Merna of the Starship Delphyne.  Please respond.

Host CO_KBeth says:
#CIV:: I think you are on to something here.

CIV_Ferrone says:
#CO: I hope so...

Host Custodian says:

CTO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::Without hearing any feedback from the Science officer nearby, she returns to her data-search, reviewing reports and scans, quite unsure of the situation which has occurred, but doing her best to play 'catch-up.'::

Host Custodian says:
#CO: At 1855 hours, three days ago.

Host CO_KBeth says:
#Custodian: 3 days ago?  How often are the cleaning bots activated?

Host Custodian says:
#CIV: It is theoretically possible to sabotage my systems from my central access node.  This was done 10 years ago when Starfleet officers disabled several of my key systems.

Host Custodian says:
#CO: Once each day at 1300 hours.

::She thinks back to the reports transmitted to her aboard the Melina and thinks about a possible correlation between the time of death and the discovery of the bodies:: XO: Commander Tarrez-Merna?

Host CO_KBeth says:
#Custodian: Would Carish have access to the central access node?  And who was the last person to access it and when?

Host Custodian says:
#CO: No.   The last to access the node was Dr. Fletcher, 33 hours ago.

Host CO_KBeth says:
#CIV: Run an analysis on that DNA Carish left and see how long ago it was left here?

Host CO_KBeth says:
#Custodian: What was Dr. Fletcher doing?

CIV_Ferrone says:
#CO: Yes, ma'am...  ::looks at his tricorder in her hand meaningfully::

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::motions for the CTO to hold on a moment:: COMM: Callisto: If I may ask... what is your reason for being at Aldea?

Host CO_KBeth says:
#::grins and hands him the tricorder:: CIV: You might need this.

CTO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
XO: Commander, I was just thinking...what was the determined time of death, and the time the science team was discovered? A noticeable gap of time could lead to a possible chain of events not previously calculated for...

CIV_Ferrone says:
#::grins back and heads back into the alcove to scan Carish's DNA... checking to see how old it is::

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::looks at the CTO:: CTO: One moment please.

Host Custodian says:
#CO: (The Custodian rattles off a long list of technical jargon which, if you aren't a cybernetic engineer or a computer wizard, makes no sense.)

CTO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She nods silently and smiles:: XO: Understood...::She goes back to her data for several more moments...wondering what happened down on the surface, and what was currently occurring with the Commanding Officer::

Host Custodian says:
<Callisto> COM: XO: One moment, I'll let you speak to the Captain.
