=/\= U.S.S. Elara Stardate 10606.25 - "No Good Deed goes Unpunished, part IV"=/\=

Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
The USS Elara remains docked at SB 123, all the crew are busy preparing for the upcoming trial of the CTO. A sense of urgency feels the crew as time slowly runs out, a sense of dread overcomes the XO as he knows his days might be numbered.

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
::In Sickbay, preparing his report for the Captain::

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::in his office reading up on Federation law::

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
::wanders onto the bridge::

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
::sits in his quarters...quartering::

Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Glances up from his PADD, he wonders briefly what was going on behind his orders before he leaned back in his chair. With a sigh he quickly taps his communication badge:: *XO*: Maor to Pazoski.

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@::somewhere on the Starbase looking confused as usual and fidling with a tricorder, taps his badge:: *CIV*: Pazoski here.

Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
*XO*: Commander, I need to have a word with you. ::Glances around him for a moment:: Privately.

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@::rolls his eyes:: *CIV*: Is there somewhere convenient you would like to meet?

Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Glances up as the FCO arrives, he moves to intercept him:: FCO: Lieutenant. I have new orders for you. ::Hands him a PADD and moves towards the TL:: *XO*: I'll on my way to your location,

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
::accesses the Starbase’s sensor logs:: CIV: Sir? ::takes the PADD:: what's this?
\

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
::reads the PADD:: Self: Oh hell. ::heads for the CTO::

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@*CIV*: Understood, I shall hover around here for a few minutes, although I cannot afford too much time, I am in the middle of this investigation.

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
::takes his bat'leth and makes a few swings in the air in his quarters... thinking he might not see it again::

Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
@::Arrives outside the Elara, he quickly spots the Commander and he quickly makes his way towards him:: XO: Commander. ::Nods politely:: I understand, this won't take long. ::Motions for the XO to walk with him:: Commander, I have new orders from Starfleet. I am to represent them on the case on the prosecution side.

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
::rings the chime by the CTO's door::

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@::follows beside Maor but just slightly behind him:: CIV: That's interesting, any idea why they decided to make you switch sides?  Especially considering as Starbuck has already accepted you as his council?

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
Door: Come in... ::rests on a chair holding his bat'leth on the ground::

Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
@::Shakes his head:: XO: I'm not sure, perhaps because of the original reason why I was sent back to the Elara, to gather evidence against him in the assault charges he was facing before.

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::PADDs pile up on his desk::

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
::walks into Cosmo's quarters and looks around a little:: CTO: I've been assigned as your council Lieutenant.

Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
ACTION: As the OPS slowly stacks PADDs on his desk, they fall down creating quite a mess. Perhaps the OPS should learn to be more neat in the future?

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@::continues to follow the CIV:: CIV: We both know that is not the real reason, but it makes very little difference.  We will collect the evidence and that will secure the case one way or the other.  Is there a reason you wanted to tell me this in person?

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
FCO: Right... guess Maor bailed... figures. So how much do you know until now?

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
CTO: Only what you told me in the head.

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::sighs:: Self: Federation law, always fun.

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
::Forwards the report onto the XO for reading whenever, even though the XO was there for the original report anyway. Returns to his regularly scheduled Doctor's work::

Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
@XO: I thought it might come better in person, the FCO was assigned by represent him instead. I'm not really sure why thought, the orders were signed an Admiral I'm not familiar with. Anyway, I'll leave you be. Good day, Commander ::Moves to leave::

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
FCO: There was this mosquito... that had a certain composition in it's sting.. it bit me while i was on the promenade. The composition would be classified as narcotic. We all know that you can NOT find natural insects on a Starbase outside the biospheres. The XO i think is on to find it.

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@::nods to the CIV:: CIV: I trust you will inform the FCO of his new orders, also I would like a copy of them sent to my padd, for record keeping you understand ::smiles and walks off in the opposite direction, heading for his original destination::

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
::nods:: CTO: and there is evidence of the venom in your blood?

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
FCO: Yes... the CMO did a full scan...

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
CTO: Then all we really need to do is find out where you were at the time of the murder.

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
::Leaning back in his chair, going through the usual assortment of reports on the health of the crew ... when something starts to bug his mind, no pun intended::

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
::Leans toward the desk, and turns on his computer screen which raises out of the desk::

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
::taps his COM badge:: *OPS*: Sollo to OPS.

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
FCO: That's the thing.. i don't know.. i don't know anything past the time on the promenade

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::taps his commbadge while reading the PADDs:: *FCO*: Tar here.

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
Computer: Do a cross reference of medical data: Starbu-Beta-00341, section #RU-45 with all known mechanical injecting devices and so forth.

Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
<Computer> CMO: Scanning, please standby.

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@::reaches the lounge where Starbuck was drinking the night before and pops open his tricorder:: Self: Right then... ::begins scanning for any insect life or anything that could be a residual energy reading, in case the "insect" wasn't a real one::

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
::Leans back:: Self: Wasn't a normal bug, obviously. Some sort of device ...

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
*OPS*: Dalin, I need you to pull the Stations internal sensor logs for the period beginning 24 hours prior to the Talarians time of death until we got Starbuck back to the ship.

Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
<Computer> CMO: Found possible match, displaying. Matches the sample by. ::A small pause:: 92%. Origin is Talarian. Continue searching?

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
CIV: Yes, but pull up that file for me to see.

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::mumbles:: *FCO*: I'll contact SBOPS to get those logs.

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
*OPS*: Make sure you tell them it's urgent.

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
::Waits for the information to pull up::

Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
ACTION: The file is displayed on the CMO's screen, a small mechanical device is shown on the screen. Rotating slowly. The computer lists the device as used in a few occasions in the Talarian history. Last use was two months ago.

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
*FCO*: Will do. As soon as I get them I'll have them brought to you. Tar out.

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
Computer: Open a channel to SBOPS.

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
CTO: What do you remember about the room you woke up in?

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
::Steeples hands in front of his face::

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
::Takes a deep breath::

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
Self: Figures.

Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
<Edit: Last known use>

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
*XO* Commander, this is Doctor Raythan. I have some new information ...

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
FCO: It was her room... it seemed pretty ordenate... i also found some cloathes there since i dident have my uniform or my badge, that seemed to fit.. she was lying dead and i woke up in another bed

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@::taps his badge while reconfiguring his tricorder:: *CMO*: What sort of information Doctor.

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
COM:SBOPS: Starbase 123, this is Lieutenant Tar from the USS Elara. I have an urgent matter.

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
CTO: Anything else about the room its self?

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
*XO* The sort that assists in exonerating the dear Mr. Starbuck.

Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
<SBOPS> @Com: Elara: OPS: This is SBOPS, go ahead.

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
FCO: Nothing much.. it was..dark.. and a bit damp. There was a guard outside the door that i had to.. lie to to escape..

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
Self: The guards... CTO: One guard or two?

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@::finally gets the tricorder to pick up a very faint residual energy reading, takes a few more moments to lock onto it, when begins following the trail:: *CMO*: I think we would all like to have that information, but for the moment I am afraid we are still trying to find it.  Has there been any new data come from Starbuck?

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
FCO: One.. pretty sturdy fella'...

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
COM:SBOPS: For the investigation of one of our crewmembers I would like to get the internal sensor logs for the period of 24 hours prior to the time of death of the Talarian ambassador.

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
*XO* Nothing that we didn't know before. ::Looks at the bug on the screen:: No, this pertains to the delivery system for the narcotic. Tallarian device. Go figure. It was an inside job. They killed their own Ambassador, framed the CTO. Probably some sort of ridiculous political plot. Usually is.

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
::taps his badge again:: *OPS*: Dalin, when you have a second, I need to know how long the guards were stationed at the door to the Talarians quarters.

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
*XO* Why is it we never look at the victim's relations anymore? They're always the one's responsible ...

Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
<SBOPS> @Com: USS Elara: OPS: Understood, please standby. ::Glances up as he notices something odd, he focuses on the time frame and pauses:: Um, this is kind of odd. We seem to be having problems with our database at the moment, Elara. Please stand by, we're trying to recover backups.

Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
ACTION: A figure bumps into the XO, he apologizes and quickly dashes away.

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@*CMO*:  You have identified the delivery system? ::continues to follow the trail down a corridor:: Doctor we have been conducting this investigation for only a few hours, the amount of data we have collected already is astounding, but it takes time to interview everyone.  About this device, what is it?

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
COM:SBOPS: Standing by. ::mutes outgoing audio:: *FCO*: SBOPS is having trouble with their database. Perhaps you can contact Starbase Security for that. They should know that.

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@::watches the figure retreat into the distance:: Self: Who runs in a Starbase? ::shakes his head::

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
*XO* It's an Eichorganat. Tallarian ... well, I guess you'd call it "assassination device." They usually use it for poisons, but it can be used for other substances. It's mechanical, looks like a bug, and can inject about 10 cc of anything.

Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
ACTION: The XO is standing in front of a locked room, a security officer is stationed there.

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
*OPS*: Acknowledged. ::taps his badge again:: *SBSEC*: Elara to Starbase Security.

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@::reaches the end of the trail and looks up at the closed door then back down the corridor:: *CMO*: Well I think I might know where it came from, I will keep you informed, Pazoski out.

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
::Nods:: *XO* Be careful, Commander.

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@::gives the security officer a big smile:: Sec: Good morning, could you tell me who's quarters these are please?

Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
<SBSEC> @Com: USS Elara: FCO: Go ahead, Elara.

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::waits for SBOPS to give more information::

Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
<SB Security Officer> @::Studies the XO, he frowns and thinks about ignoring the XO until he notices his rank:: XO: The Tallarian party resided here, if you have any more questions you'll have to direct them to SBSEC Commander.

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
*SBSEC*: I need a copy of schedules for the guards stationed at the Talarian delegates quarters.

Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
<SBOPS> @Com: USS Elara: OPS: SBOPS to the Elara.

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::unmutes outgoing audio:: COM:SBOPS: Elara here, go ahead.

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@::continues to smile, almost a little too much:: Sec: Could you just confirm if one of their party has just left their quarters and gone ::points:: that way?

Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
<SBSEC> @Com: USS Elara: FCO: Standby. Understood, data is being transferred to.. ::Pauses:: PADD IX-5634A. Security out.

Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
<SBOPS> @Com: USS Elara: OPS: We seem to be having a problem, our records were corrupted. We should recover the data within the next three days.

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
::watches his PADD:: *SBSEC*: Acknowledged... All received, Elara out.

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::frowns:: COM:SBOPS: You said three days? How come this wasn't noticed before?

Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
<SBSEC Officer> @::Sighs, he was hoping for a quiet shift:: XO: Yes, that's her aide. I think. Anything else? I'm kinda doing something here, Commander.

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@::turns and is off down the corridor almost before the officer has finished speaking, calls back:: Sec: No, you have been very helpful, just keep an eye out for anything suspicious ::rounds a corner and hurries after the aide::

Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
<SBOPS> @Com: USS Elara: OPS: ::Dead silence for a few moments before a new voice comes up:: Lt., this is commander Dor. A full report was issued to your commanding officer and to the officer repenting the CTO, if there isn't anything else I need my OPS back. SB 123 out.

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
CTO: do you remember what time it was the last time you looked at a chronometer before you woke up?

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@::whips out his tricorder and tries to locate his missing aide, taps his badge:: *OPS*: Pazoski to Tar.

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
FCO: I think some 8-10 hours before I woke up.. and you know when i woke up..

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::frowns after the sudden closure of the channel and just before he can tap his commbadge to contact the FCO the XO contacts him:: *XO*: Tar here.

Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
ACTION: As soon as the XO tried to contact the OPS he recognizes a familiar figure running towards the station TL.

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
CTO: That would make it around midnight-ish. ::checks to see where the guards were at that time::

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@::spots the face and moves with haste towards the TL, of course he makes it look like he doesn't recognise the person he is following:: *OPS*: Mr Tar I need to know the exact location of every member of the entire Talarian delegation last night.

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
*XO*: Acknowledged sir. I'll contact the Talarians for that information. ::sends a message to the Talarian delegation with the request for information where everyone of the delegation was::

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
*OPS*: What? NO! Don't contact them!  Find out discreetly from sensor records!

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::aborts sending the message::

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
*XO*: Sir, it won't be possible to get that information from the internal sensor logs from the starbase. They have a corrupted database. It'll take roughly three days to recover that information.

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
Self: hmmmm

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@::enters the TL with his "suspect":: *OPS*: Then I suggest you come up with an inventive way of getting the information from the Talarians, after all it would be a shame if Starbuck wasn't working alone and another of the delegation was attacked ::cuts the comm::

Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
<Unknown figure> @::Glances in surprise as he notices the XO, he mumbles something and remains silent::

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::sighs:: Self: Easy talking. Let's see what I got from diplomacy. ::thinks:: *CMO*: Tar to Lieutenant Raythan.

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
*SBSEC*: Elara to Starbase security... I need to know why there were no guards stationed at the Ambassadors quarters between 12:20 am and 12:25 am.

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
*OPS* Raythan here, Mr. Tar.

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@::smiles at the figure:: Unknown: Which deck are you after?

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
*CMO*: How are your skills on dermal regeneration?

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
::Quirks eyebrow:: *OPS* Satisfactory ... Ensign Shorv is more skilled. Why?

Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
<SBSEC> @Com: USS Elara: FCO: Understood, standby. It seems there was a bit of a mix up, someone informed us that the Ambassador wasn't at her quarters. We got it straightened up only when her body was found.

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
*CMO*: I need to look like a Talarian to get some information. Can that be done?

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
*OPS* Not quickly ...

Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
<Unknown figure> @::Glances at the XO's direction:: XO: What's in it for you? ::Quickly parts the TL::

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
*SBSEC*: Where did that call originate?

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
*CMO*: It's rather urgent. I'll get to sickbay. Tar out.

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
::Sighs, and calls for Shorv::

Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
ACTION: As the XO move to follow the figure he stumbles on a piece of rubbish that was left on the TL floor, losing his balance he falls down and hits his head on the closing TL doors. He's falls back and quickly loses sight of the figure.
