=/\= U.S.S. Elara Stardate 10703.25- "Shapeless, part III"=/\=

The USS Elara calmly orbits the Betazoid homeworld. It is now clear the Cardassians had mysterious dealings on the planet. The Elara is to follow their ship ... if they still can.

Meanwhile the CEO and CSO try to teach a Shapeshifter how to communicate and the Dr tried to heal a confused trill

ACTION: CTO and FCO arrive at transporter room 1 at the same time the CIV has also just beamed back from the surface

Dr Greene says: 
::In sickbay, wondering which other methods he can still use to approach the new Tar, meanwhile wondering what is taking the CO so long::

CTO Lt Starbuck says: 
::in the transporter room... transportering::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
:: Strides triumphantly into sickbay ::

OPS Lt Tar says: 
::in sickbay, very agitated::

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::keeps an eye on the Shapeshifter wondering how long it'll be before it can morph itself into clothes too::

FCO Lt Sollo says: 
::appearing in the transporter room wishing he was back at his console::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
Greene: So Doctor, what's all this talk about a problem?

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
::in an unspecified room on the Elara with a team of engineers and security officers, investigating the trilithium device::

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
Shapeshifter: Do you understand us yet?

Shapeshifter says: 
::looks curiously at the CSO::

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
::Waves at the Shapeshifter::

FCO Lt Sollo says: 
CTO: Well now we know where the Cardassian ship was headed... roughly... it's a lost asteroid.

OPS Lt Tar says: 
::notices someone in some red uniform enter:: CO: You're the commanding officer over here? It took you quite some time to get here!

Lt. Yellow says: 
XO: I don't know how it got here, but as I've told you before, it would have exploded in 3 hours and destroyed the whole ship

Dr Greene says: 
::Gives a deep, audible sigh as he finally sees the CO entering:: CO: Ah, there you are, captain.. ::Nods in the direction of Tar:: Apparently, something happened to mister Tar... One of his previous hosts has taken over, through the symbiont no doubt... I am at a loss of what I can still try to do to get more information... He says he wants to contact the Trill government and make his report, whatever that may mean...

CTO Lt Starbuck says: 
FCO: Good.. I ran into a dead end with the office. They were strictly on a need to know basis.

OPS Lt Tar says: 
Self: And I want to get rid of this terrible yellow uniform.

FCO Lt Sollo says: 
CTO: Did you happen to get the name of the secretary?

CO Capt Timrok says: 
:: Looks back and forth between Greene and Tar ::

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
::Steps into the science lab, giving the random officers a quick glance before turning at his attention at the direction of the CSO and the CEO:: CSO, CEO: Ensign. ::Nods curtly:: Any progress on our.. ::Pauses as he attempts to find the most suitable word:: guest here?

Shapeshifter says: 
::turns to the CEO::CEO: Understand us yet ::then turns back to the CSO::

CTO Lt Starbuck says: 
FCO: Sulik Tov... know her?

Dr Greene says: 
CO: I thought perhaps you could help... Since you are the only one with an authority higher than mine in this case..

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::nods back to the CIV:: Shapeshifter: Walla walla bing bang?

OPS Lt Tar says: 
::taps her feet:: CO: Well? Lost your tongue?

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
Shapeshifter: If you learn to speak I’ll let you have some candy. CIV: Hello Sir, he's learnt how to change his shape into his favourite Starfleet officer and that's about it so far.

FCO Lt Sollo says: 
CTO: Oh I know her... always did do things by the book.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
Greene: Taken over? and replaced him?

Shapeshifter says: 
CEO: Walla Walla B...Bing Bang

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::laughs::

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
Lt Yellow: Then I suggest we figure out how it got here, before another one mysteriously appears and succeeds in blowing up.

Dr Greene says: 
CO: Not quite... It seems like a previous host's memories have kicked in, and, effectively, replaced the Dalin Tar we know...

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
::Pauses as he hears the Shapeshifter words, he frowns and turns to face the CEO:: CEO: Something I should know, Ensign?

CO Capt Timrok says: 
Greene: has this kind of thing ever happened before?

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
CEO: Aww, how cute...hold on!

CTO Lt Starbuck says: 
FCO: Right... I'll go report on the bridge if there's someone there.

Lt. Yellow says: 
XO: Yes sir, our teams are already checking the whole ship

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
CIV: No, we're just measuring its vitality

OPS Lt Tar says: 
::gets even more agitated as the CO doesn't reply to any of her questions::

Dr Greene says: 
CO: I have been busy trying to get Tar to say more about what he remembers before waking up... But he won't talk unless he can make his report to his government.. I've done a preliminary check, but nothing is on the records I checked...

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
Lt Yellow: While they are at it, go over the sensor logs for this deck over the last 24 hours, someone put this here, or someone beamed this here, I want to know either way.

FCO Lt Sollo says: 
CTO: I'll do that... I need to start computing a course anyway... it might be a good idea for you to check out what's going on in sickbay.

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
::Nods as he turns his attention to the Shapeshifter:: *CO*: Captain? ::Watches the Shapeshifter moves with fascination::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
Greene: well ok, but we need to know if this is reversible :: turns to the impatient looking Tar ::

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
::Runs to get the Shapeshifter a towel::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
*CIV* Go ahead

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::hands over the CSO a hand towel::

ACTION: as he is stopped by the force field, the changeling stays in a helpless mass for a while on the floor::

CTO Lt Starbuck says: 
FCO: Ok then.. ::hand him his pad:: ..Cross-reference what I have as well, never know.

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
*CO*: Captain, I have a bit of alarming news for you. Your ears only, Captain. ::Grunts at the direction of the Shapeshifter:: CEO, CSO: Do you think the creature poses a threat at its current form?

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
::sighs:: Self: Good it collapsed! CIV/CEO: You didn't just see that!

FCO Lt Sollo says: 
CTO: Knowing Sulik it won't be much. ::smiles and heads off to the bridge::

Lt. Yellow says: 
::nods at the XO::

Dr Greene says: 
CO: I think if we can get him to talk more, we can make a better diagnosis.. Right now I don't know what is wrong.. We may have to contact the Trill authorities to find out more about this and perhaps even get experts in...

CTO Lt Starbuck says: 
::starts moving to the sickbay::

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
CSO: Yes...I did...probably it’s just a little surprised.... CIV: At the moment it can't get off that table, so I'd say apart from its exhibitionist ways...no threat as yet.

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
CEO: It missed my tattoos anyway.

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
CSO: Oh? I'd be interested to see those

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
CEO: I'm sure you would.

FCO Lt Sollo says: 
::steps into the lift and orders it to the bridge::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
*CIV* My ears are all yours Mr Maor, when I have a moment.... can it wait?

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::mumbles something, the only audible words "my tight butt"::

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
::Nods:: CEO: Did you detect any similarities to the changlings DNA, something that might indicate we're dealing with something far worse than an exhibitionist Shapeshifter?

OPS Lt Tar says: 
::sighs:: Self: It took him two whole hours to get here and now he doesn't even answer to my questions, let alone he'll just listen to others.

FCO Lt Sollo says: 
::arrives on the bridge and looks around::

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
CIV: It’s hard to draw conclusions ::walks around the table:: being as we don't have must Shapeshifter physiology to go on but it doesn't seem to have anything even resembling DNA

OPS Lt Tar says: 
Self: If they don't answer my questions then I won't answer theirs as well.

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
*CO*: ::Pauses for a moment as he considers, sighing he takes a few steps away from the table and the rest of the officers:: I'm afraid not, Captain. I have a report to give to Starfleet and I rather you hear it first from me.

ACTION: After a time recovering the Shapeshifter regains the shape of the CEO. It speaks one word only "why"

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
::picks up an ornament from the table and rolls it over in his hands a couple times, feeling like a spare leg:: Lt Yellow: Comm me if you find anything useful.

CTO Lt Starbuck says: 
::enters the sickbay, slightly saluting the ones present::

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
CEO: Well since you're curious now, I have a penguin on the base of my spine.

Ens. Lost says: 
::sitting at the CO's chair, doesn’t even notice the FCO arriving::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
*CIV*: Then bare with me, I'll come see you as soon as possible.

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
CSO: A Penguin? I am not familiar with that species. My curiosity is peaked.

Lt. Yellow says: 
::busy with a tricorder, doesn't even look up:: XO: Yes sir

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
CEO: And earth animal. Shapeshifter: Why what?

FCO Lt Sollo says: 
::walks past the CO's chair:: Lost: Comfortable Ensign?

ACTION: No response from the changeling

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::makes a curious "hmm" considering what a penguin might look like especially on the CSO::

Ens. Lost says: 
FCO: Lt! back so early? It is confy but ... ::gets up:: FCO: Shall I take the helm?

CO Capt Timrok says: 
:: Focuses on OPS ::OPS: So.. you are?

OPS Lt Tar says: 
CO: Finally, I'm Erial, the second of the Tar symbiont. And who are you?

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
::Takes a step towards the desk:: CEO, CSO: Right. ::Turns to the Shapeshifter:: Shapeshifter: Do you understand me? ::Moves his face closer to the force field::

FCO Lt Sollo says: 
Lost: You do that. ::takes a seat in the big chair::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
OPS: I am Captain Timrok of the Federation Starship USS Elara

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
CIV: I just asked him that...I hope he responds to you better than he did me

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
::exits the quarters and rubs his chin:: Self: I wonder... ::heads for the nearest unoccupied computer terminal and accesses the ships logs::

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
::Nods at the direction of the CEO, acknowledging him::

OPS Lt Tar says: 
CO: And what do you want from me?

Dr Greene says: 
::Listens to the conversation, trying to see whether the CO can get more information::

Ens. Lost says: 
::nods and happily takes the helm::

FCO Lt Sollo says: 
::reads through the PADD the CTO gave him and cross-references it with the information he was given::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
OPS: Now it seems we have a rather delicate situation here... you probably are better qualified than most to understand this but up until now - you were my Operations officer, Dalin Tar... but it appears that has changed

Ens. Lost says: 
FCO: Course heading sir?

CTO Lt Starbuck says: 
Dr_Greene: Am I interrupting something here?

Dr Greene says: 
::Glances at Starbuck:: CTO: Frankly, yes, we're trying to figure out what happened to mister Tar here...

FCO Lt Sollo says: 
Lost: Wait one... ::taps his Com badge:: *CO*: Captain this is Sollo.

OPS Lt Tar says: 
CO: Dalin Tar? That isn't possible, I'm the second of this symbiont and Jeneri was the first. There is no Dalin host.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
OPS: I don't understand why that is, and the good doctor is trying to understand why that is, but that’s the situation so that’s what we all have to deal with - I expect you can help us understand what has happened

FCO Lt Sollo says: 
::taps on the arm rest::

OPS Lt Tar says: 
CO: I need to contact the Trill government for my instructions. I can't tell you any more information about myself.

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
::Sighs as he gets no response, he turns his attention back to the CEO and the CSO:: CEO, CSO: Right. He seemed to have responded to your songs. So.. ::Pauses in thought:: Right. Sing. And make it something catchy.

CTO Lt Starbuck says: 
Dr_Greene: Dual personality issues? Didn’t think he had any, pretty much I always saw the stiff Dalin.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
OPS: I believe Dalin was the fourth :: as much asking as telling ::

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::watches the Shapeshifter for a response::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
*FCO* Go ahead

Dr Greene says: 
CTO: Previous host... ::Turns to listen to the conversation::

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
Shapeshifter:: It's not unusual to be loved by anyone...

FCO Lt Sollo says: 
*CO*: We have a bearing on the Cardassian ship's next port of call after Betazed, it might be a good place to get some more information about the ship... shall I plot a course and set sail?

ACTION: Shapeshifter sings along with the CSO, seems to have taken a liking for her

CTO Lt Starbuck says: 
Dr_Green: Ah..

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::can't contain a little dance::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
*FCO* yes please Mr Sollo

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
::Grins:: All: Everyone loves Tom Jones!

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
CSO: A penguin song?

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
::enters the bridge with a padd he seems to have procured on route, looking puzzled, he sits down heavily in his seat::

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
CEO: I said sing, Ensign. Not dance. ::Sighs:: We've suffered enough this past few weeks.

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
CEO: No!

FCO Lt Sollo says: 
*CO*: Acknowledged Captain... Sollo out. ::turns to the Helm:: Lost: plot a course to these co-ordinates and engage at warp 5.

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
CIV: Can't help it Sir, catchy tune...:sings:: you can leave your hat on!

CO Capt Timrok says: 
OPS: I think we can help each other here, are you willing?

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
CEO: Click your fingers in tune please! ::goes back to singing::

OPS Lt Tar says: 
CO: As long as you let me contact my government. I'll await their instructions to see what I'm allowed to do.

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
Mumbles: In west Philadelphia born and raised...click my fingers indeed

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
Self: Awesome.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
OPS: I have no problem with that, stay with Dr Greene and co-operate with him :: turns to Greene :: Greene: If you could set up a communication channel for him and take it from there. I need to go again

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
CSO: What a strange assignment...

ACTION: The changeling starts snapping it’s fingers as well...but it is not very good at it

OPS Lt Tar says: 
CO: Thank you. ::turns around and walks away::

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
Shapeshifter: like this! ::shows a close up of his clicking his fingers::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
Computer: Locate Commander Maor

Dr Greene says: 
::Nods at the captain:: CO: Yes sir.. ::Turns towards his office:: OPS: Follow me please...

Computer says: 
CO: Commander Maor is in Science lab 1

FCO Lt Sollo says: 
::decided to see what JoBrel is up to:: *CEO* Sollo to Jobrel... what's your status?

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
CEO, CSO: Right. ::Turns his attention back to the Shapeshifter:: Computer: Cycle a selection of songs that contains at least 80% vocals, play each song for at least ten seconds. ::Grunts at the direction of the Shapeshifter:: Play.

Computr says: 
CIV: Acknowledged

ACTION: Klingon opera starts echoing through the lab

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
CSO: Ack! Not Klingon Opera!

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
CEO: It's better than Vulcan music.

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
::mumbles something:: FCO: Mr Sollo, I want you to strip the transporter logs down from when the first Away Team beamed to the surface.  See if you can find anything odd, specifically any indication of a piggyback signal in the buffer.

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
CEO: Yeah, but a fun one!

OPS Lt Tar says: 
::follows Greene::

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
CSO: Granted...

FCO Lt Sollo says: 
XO: Aye Commander. ::begins carrying out the order::

ACTION: He tries again and finally some sounds comes out

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
Shapeshifter: Groovy!

Shapeshifter says: 
CEO: Groovy

CO Capt Timrok says: 
:: exits Sickbay - already on his way to the science lab ::

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
*FCO*: ::speaks with the music in the background:: Uh..will keep you informed

CTO Lt Starbuck says: 
::notices everybody scattering around outwards from the sickbay and sees no use to loiter around.. he walks to the bridges::

Dr Greene says: 
::Taps a few buttons, setting up a link with the Trill home planet and setting the computer to store a copy of the transmission in his personal files:: OPS: Press this button to start the link... ::Indicates an amber button::

FCO Lt Sollo says: 
::hears the music and frowns:: *CEO*: You guys having a party down there?

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
*FCO*: Uh...no just naked clones and clicking fingers

OPS Lt Tar says: 
Greene: Thank you. Perhaps I can get some privacy?

FCO Lt Sollo says: 
*CEO*: And I wasn't invited?!?!?!

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
*FCO*: No, we don't need a stripper yet

CO Capt Timrok says: 
:: arrives at Science Lab 1 in time for the climax of the Opera and stops dead in his tracks ::

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
CEO: Ooh stripper!

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
CSO: Agreed....

FCO Lt Sollo says: 
*CEO*: From what I hear you already have one.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
All: what the.... HELL is going on here!

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
*FCO*: Could never replace you!

Dr Greene says: 
::Nods:: OPS: Certainly.. Just come find me when you are done...

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::is glad he wasn’t doing anything but talking to the FCO when the CO walked in::

OPS Lt Tar says: 
::nods too:: Greene: Thank you. ::waits for Greene to leave and then opens the channel::

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
::Glances up as he detects a new presence in the door:: All: Um. ::Nods at the direction of the Captain, he rises his voice to be heard over the loud music:: CO: Captain, we're conducting a bit of an experiment. The Shapeshifter seems to respond well to music.

Dr Greene says: 
::Moves out of the office::

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
Shapeshifter: If you want my body and you think I'm sexy come on sugar let me know....Oh wait, maybe not! Don't know if I can sing that here!

FCO Lt Sollo says: 
*CEO*: I'll just go ahead and take that as a compliment. ::frowns at the results of his scans:: XO: Apparently when the CTO and I beamed down... something else beamed up... Can't say what or where but there was something.

Shapeshifter says: 
CSO: Let me know....

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CIV: All in the name of scccience huh?  :: Glares accusingly at the CSO & CEO ::

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
Self: I'm too sexy for my shirt...so sexy it hurts...::stops dead at the COs looks::

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
::Smiles at the nice CO man:: CO: It's responding extremely well sir!

OPS Lt Tar says: 
Com: Trill Government: I'm Erial Tar, please patch me through to Trill Intelligence.

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
CSO: You should see what we do in engineering!

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
::Nods:: CO: It was my idea, Captain. They had nothing to do with it, don't fault them for it. ::Studies the Shapeshifter again:: And as the good CSO said, it is responding well.. ::Turns back to the CO:: CO: Shall we go somewhere private?

ACTION: A Trill secretary appears on Tar's screen. "Please identify yourself and state your business with the trill government:

CO Capt Timrok says: 
:: eyes them all suspiciously :: CIV: Yes, luckily for you all I have more important matters to deal with.... for now

OPS Lt Tar says: 
COM: Trill secretary: I'm Erial Tar, Intelligence Officer and I need instructions from Trill Intelligence.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
:: reverses out of the Lab and invited Maor to follow ::

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
CO: After you, Captain. ::Gives the Shapeshifter one last look before joining the Captain::

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::lets out a laugh when the CO leaves:: CSO: I'm sure I saw his foot tapping

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
::rubs his chin thoughtfully:: FCO/World in General: Maybe they are after the changeling...

Trill Secretary says: 
COM: OPS: And you are in an open channel? I'll confirm your ID and contact you in a minute

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
CEO: Yeah, no one can resist the classics.

ACTION: Screen goes blank

FCO Lt Sollo says: 
XO: Could be... I'd suggest keeping it well contained.

OPS Lt Tar says: 
::waits::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
:: walks toward the turbolift :: CIV: So what is this all about?

CTO Lt Starbuck says: 
::arrives on the bridge after a long walk around, feeling a bit useless, then sits at tactical after nodding slowly to the officers present::

Trill Secretary says: 
COM: OPS The computer is still looking at a match on your face. But you cannot be who you claim you are. Next time do a better work in disguising yourself like a dead intelligence officer! Good day

ACTION: Just as it came back on, the screen goes off abruptly

OPS Lt Tar says: 
Self: What the..?

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::laughs again and turns his attention back to the Shapeshifter::

OPS Lt Tar says: 
::tries to understand how the system works and finally opens a secured and Trill encrypted channel to Trill Intelligence::

ACTION: OPS gets an "access denied" com, since her encryption codes are not used anymore

OPS Lt Tar says: 
::slams the console quite hard::

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
::Joins the Captain at the TL:: TL: Bridge, please. ::Turns to face the CO:: CO: I've discovered an alarming fact. Captain. I have evidence of a new organization consisting of the Cardassians we're encountered intent on bringing the Dominion to full force again. It is my understanding they they're intending to create new Shapeshifters, possibly similar to what we've encountered and posses on our science lab as we speak. In addition I've encountered a Betazoid that was housing a Ferangi that was part of that organization, it's current whereabouts are unknown.

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
FCO: Have you ever tried to contain a changeling Mr Sollo?  It's like trying to hold smoke...

OPS Lt Tar says: 
Console: Come on, how hard can it be to open a secured channel?

ACTION: The Shapeshifter continues singing with the computer

Computer says: 
OPS: Unable to comply. Please reformulate request

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::turns off the music and plays the bible read by Larry King::

OPS Lt Tar says: 
Aloud: Who said that?

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CIV: Alarming indeed.....

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
CTO: Mr Starbuck, someone piggybacked our transporter beam earlier and deposited a trilithium bomb in an unoccupied lodging.  This means they know federation technology back to front, and they also know about our vessels crew allocations.  I want you to find out who it is.

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
::Nods his consent:: CO: Something bigger than us is going on here, I believe we must inform Starfleet as soon as possible.

FCO Lt Sollo says: 
XO: Well there has to be some way.

OPS Lt Tar says: 
::stands and walks over to Greene:: Greene: I've been unable to contact the one I needed to contact and somehow your computer seems to have difficulties opening channels.

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::waits to see if the Shapeshifter can read any back::

CTO Lt Starbuck says: 
::a bit shocked:: XO: Do you have any reasons to believe it's someone from the Elara, or do you suspect someone else?

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CIV: We might be tracking down a lot more trouble than we bargained for, agreed - make your report straight away

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
::Nods, he parts the opening TL doors and makes his way to one of the free consoles:: All: Captain on the bridge. ::Sits down::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
:: waits for the turbolift to come to a halt and enters the bridge with Maor ::

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
CTO: I suspect everyone unless they have a good motive.  It's possible that we are dealing with a sleeper agent onboard, however I have no evidence to support that.

Dr Greene says: 
::Frowns:: OPS: Difficulties?

OPS Lt Tar says: 
Greene: The Trill government closed the channel and another channel I tried to open failed.

Dr Greene says: 
::Nods:: OPS: And could this be because the codes you used are from 2312? And we are now in the year 2383?

CO Capt Timrok says: 
XO: report!

CTO Lt Starbuck says: 
XO: How much do you want me to look for him? Just casual searches or should I order a total room search and full spectrum analysis of everyone?

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
CTO: Hold that thought.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
:: sits in his chair ::

OPS Lt Tar says: 
Greene: That's a possibility. But I still need some instructions. Perhaps your captain can assist me?

CTO Lt Starbuck says: 
Self: Thought on standby sir. ::snickers a bit, rather childish as he soon finds out, and returns his view to the viewscreen for a bit::

Dr Greene says: 
::Nods slowly:: OPS: Let me take a look to be sure..

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
CO: Sir. We found a trilithium explosive device onboard, it appears to have been beamed in when we beamed our away team down earlier.  It was sufficient to destroy the ship.  I have tasked Lt Starbuck with finding where it came from, he was just enquiring as to the subtlety of the search process...

FCO Lt Sollo says: 
::sat back at his own console after using the OPS one to figure something out::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
XO: And what was your answer?

Dr Greene says: 
::Heads over to the office:: OPS: Follow me please..

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
CO: I would suggest a subtle approach, if we have a sleeper agent onboard who is prepared to destroy himself and the ship, he might panic before we can act.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
XO: agreed

OPS Lt Tar says: 
::follows Greene::

Dr Greene says: 
::Runs a diagnostic on the computer and communication system:: OPS: This will take a moment..

CTO Lt Starbuck says: 
XO: Well sir, if this sleeper agent has anything else planned.. I'm just saying it will take awhile to get through everyone and by then... a full surprise raid now, lockdown included, will most likely net him before he does anything else

OPS Lt Tar says: 
::and waits for what to come::

Dr Greene says: 
::Shakes head:: OPS: All systems are working as they should.. I'm betting you have old codes...

FCO Lt Sollo says: 
Self: Where's that Blue cow? I want to shoot something!

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
Shapeshifter: Savvy?

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
CTO: But if there isn't a sleeper we will just panic the crew unnecessarily.  Conduct a passive search, low key.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
:: thinks for a moment ::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
XO: This bomb... was it a remotely triggered device or on a timer or what?

OPS Lt Tar says: 
Greene: Or they revoked my codes for me possibly being captured

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
Shapeshifter: Would you like some cheese?

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
CO: It was on a timer sir, due to go off in about 3 hours.

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::gets tired of the Shapeshifter simply imitating him and sighs:: CSO: Suggestions?

Shapeshifter says: 
CSO: Cheese

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
Shapeshifter: Stilton? It's nice. CEO: Get us some cheese and wine!

Dr Greene says: 
OPS: I'll see what the CO has to say... *CO*: Greene to Timrok.. Sir, I need your help again.. We could obviously not get a line with Trill, and the one connection we did get was terminated when it was determined the person supposedly on the line was dead.. Your position and rank may carry more weight..

CTO Lt Starbuck says: 
XO: And sir, you do know the bomb was in orbit of the planet as far as I can get from these scans. It just hitch hiked a trip on our transporter beam.

OPS Lt Tar says: 
::nods at Greene for his assistance:: Self: They really are trying to help me I guess.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
*Greene* So Tar still won't accept the truth then?

Dr Greene says: 
::Shakes head, partly aware the CO won't see:: *CO*: Negative... Perhaps it is best to just go along for now, and maybe have his own people bring the news.. It may be easier to accept that way...

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
CSO: Cheese? Wine? Any preferences?

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
CTO: A very sophisticated bomb if it can manage that.  Take the thing apart, find out who built it.

OPS Lt Tar says: 
Greene: If I may interrupt... First of all, I'm a female; second, I can give just some more information to your captain.

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
CEO: Stilton! And um, I don’t really drink anything other than port...

Dr Greene says: 
::Frowns:: OPS: Well.. He should be able to hear you.. go right ahead...

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
CSO: Naturally

CO Capt Timrok says: 
*Greene* There is one thing that just occurred to me..the second was female, but Dalin Tar was male, has he / she had a look in the mirror yet?

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
::Raises from his console:: CO: I'll be heading back to the science lab, Captain. We should receive a reply from Starfleet soon and if I'm right I don't want to keep that Shapeshifter unguarded. ::Enters the TL:: TL: Science lab 1.

OPS Lt Tar says: 
*CO*: Captain, if that's how you like to be called, I urge you to contact Trill Intelligence.

Dr Greene says: 
*CO*: Yes sir... One of the first things I did, and apparently she wouldn't believe it...

CTO Lt Starbuck says: 
XO: Hm.. by what I have now, it may be possible this wasn’t anything done by someone on the ship.. Why not just sabotage the ship from the inside? A bomb isn’t really a necessity
