::Thinks: Half the population affected. Shudders slightly::

CMO_Liz says:
#CNS: I don't like it at all.  Something feels wrong.

CEO_Ross says:

ALL: Targets locked!  Firing phasers!  ::taps the fire button on the Tactical console::

CMO_Liz says:
*SO* What have you got on the fever?

CTO_Valar says:
Ramirez: Bring us around for another volley!

CNS_Jo says:
#CMO: I am with you, but what can we do?  I am sure the Captain knows what he is doing.  I am only a Lt. Remember.

CEO_Ross says:
CTO/XO: Looks like the modifications are holding.  Targeting scanners are locking onto the closest targets first.

Host SuperCha says:
@CO: If you can fix the transport system, then resolving this situation should only take a few hours.  We hope.

CTO_Valar says:
CEO: I am reading a .26 variance in the targeting scanners.  Can you compensate?

OPS_Fey says:
::Monitors all channels for problems::

CO_Torbin says:
@Cha: We will do our best, Supervisor.  I can't say for certain without first looking at the system itself.

CEO_Ross says:
::Begins to feel a slight bit better::

CEO_Ross says:
CTO: Hold on, Valar.  ::taps commands into console:: Try it now.

SO_Kij says:
*CMO* About 50% of the population is affected. The disease seems to go out to within 1000 km from the city. It begins to thin out after that.  ::shudders again::

CTO_Valar says:
CEO: Ross, can we reprogram the computer to target the drones quicker?

XO_David says:
::Sits propping his head up with his arm::

CMO_Liz says:
#CNS: Got that?

CTO_Valar says:
ALL: Locking targets and firing another volley!

Host SuperCha says:
@I will leave your people to their work, Captain.  I have much to do and few resources to work with.   The recent collapse has caused many troubles for my people.

SO_Kij says:
*CMO* The disease seems to have started in the city and spread outwards.

CEO_Ross says:
Valar: ::Looks over in surprise:: I pumped the targeting emitters as hot as I could get them.  I suppose I could get a few more delays out of them.  Hold on.

CTO_Valar says:
CEO: Okay, the variance has come to within tolerance.

CO_Torbin says:
@Cha: That is understandable Supervisor.  We will do our best to get everything running for you as quickly as possible.

CTO_Valar says:
CEO: Ross, okay, do the best you can.

CNS_Jo says:
#CMO: Yes, Liz.

CMO_Liz says:
*SO* Inform be if anything else develops.

Host MedKur says:
@::walks over to the SMERT Leader::

SO_Kij says:
*CMO* Sure thing.

CTO_Valar says:

FCOVnSckl says:
@CO: As I'll ever be, Captain.

CEO_Ross says:
::Checks with the computer:: XO/ Valar: Targeting emitters are on a .10 sec delay.

CO_Torbin says:
@::Opens the door and starts walking down the stairs::

CTO_Valar says:
CEO: Okay, Ross.  The weapons and targeting scanners seem to functioning as programmed.

FCOVnSckl says:
@Engineering team: Follow us.

XO_David says:
CEO: Well done.  CTO: Continue phaser fire.

CTO_Valar says:
XO: Sir, I believe the CEO has accomplished our goal.  The targeting, weapons and shield modifications seem to be functioning as planned.

CTO_Valar says:
XO: Aye, Sir.  Ross: Launch another round of tactical drones.

CO_Torbin says:
@::Enters the lower room and looks around for the transport systems::

XO_David says:
CTO: Very good.  I want to make sure they can stand up to repeated fire.

FCOVnSckl says:
@::Takes a look around the subterranean room::

CEO_Ross says:
XO: Thank you.  CTO: Aye, Valar.

CMO_Liz says:
#CNS: The biggest culprit would likely be the water system or some other public system.

CNS_Jo says:
#Self: Physical contact, we have to find the carrier,

CTO_Valar says:
Ramirez: Evasives, Ensign!

Host Ortiz says:
#::Walks over to rest of SMERT::

CNS_Jo says:
#Ortiz: Sir, do they know who the carrier is?

FCOVnSckl says:
@CO: I'll go ahead and start on this side of the room, Sir.  I suggest we meet in the middle.

CO_Torbin says:
@::Thinks: This looks like a central computer system for the entire planet.  Maybe it could be used to help the SMERT team later::

CO_Torbin says:
@FCO: I think that probably sounds best.  ::Motions to the 2 engineers to their sides::

CEO_Ross says:
::Stands back at the Engineering station reviewing the data coming in and starting to be distracted again::

XO_David says:
CTO: Any problems?

CTO_Valar says:
XO: Not so far, Sir.

FCOVnSckl says:
@::Checks nearest control panel and runs tricorder scans::

CTO_Valar says:
Ross: What do the results show?

CO_Torbin says:
@::Starts walking forward, scanning all the equipment with his tricorder::

Host Ortiz says:
#CNS: It appears not.  The disease has a 10 day incubation period, so the initial carrier may be long gone, if still alive.  There WAS a ship that called here about 14 days ago, a Ferengi merchant vessel.

CMO_Liz says:
#Ortiz:  Do we know what the carrier for the disease is?

CEO_Ross says:
CTO: Nothing conclusive.  I need to study them in detail but early reports suggest a measurable increase in both defensive and offensive system efficiency.

CMO_Liz says:
#::mutters:: Ferengi.

FCOVnSckl says:
@::Scans over every square millimeter with the tricorder::

CTO_Valar says:
::Smiles at Ross:: Good job, Ross!

Host Ortiz says:
#CNS: One would think the Ferengi would be more careful as dead people aren't known for buying a lot of stuff.

CNS_Jo says:
#Ortiz: Aye, Sir.

CEO_Ross says:
::Fakes a smile back and then looks down at his console trying to concentrate::

XO_David says:
::Grins:: CTO/CEO: Good job, both of you.

CMO_Liz says:
#Ortiz: Exactly.  Do we know the name of the ship?

OPS_Fey says:
::Sets both short range and long-range scans again::

CTO_Valar says:
XO: Thank you, Sir.

CEO_Ross says:
XO: Its appreciated, Sir.

FCOVnSckl says:
@::Finds this console might control the pattern buffers for the entire planet, but is not sure::

SO_Kij says:
::Scans to see if there are any differences in the status of the planet::

CO_Torbin says:
::grimaces::

CTO_Valar says:
XO: Should we inform the Captain of the preliminary results of the testing?

XO_David says:
CTO: Yes, I'll leave that up to OPS.

CO_Torbin says:
@::Finishes scanning::  FCO: I'd say I know what the problem is.

CEO_Ross says:
::Walks over to the OPS Station and taps some commands into the console there::

CNS_Jo says:
#::Keeps quiet, knowing very well that this is not the normal virus and goes back to her research::

XO_David says:
OPS: Inform the Captain of the test results thus far.

FCOVnSckl says:
@CO: I think I see it too.  Half of the iso-linear chips are burned out.  At least at this console.

CO_Torbin says:
@FCO: Yup.  Looks like this won't be that hard to fix, but time consuming.

FCOVnSckl says:
@CO: How many do we have to replace?

CTO_Valar says:
XO: Shall I terminate the testing?

Host Ortiz says:
#CNS: Hmm….. ::consults PADD::  It says here that the Ferengi vessel was named the Gold Brick, captained by one Daimon Krupp.

CO_Torbin says:
@FCO: Get with the 2 engineers and try to find a working chip we can use to replicate the rest.  By best count, I'm up to roughly 1250 of them.

CNS_Jo says:
#Ortiz: Sir, do we know what the Ferengi were carrying?

FCOVnSckl says:
@CO: Twelve hundred and fifty?

XO_David says:
CTO: Not yet.  CEO: How fast can the drones go?

CO_Torbin says:
@FCO: That is correct.  1 thousand, 2 hundred, 50 chips need to be replaced.  Roughly 50% of the system is burned out from what I can tell.

FCOVnSckl says:
@::Calls over the other two engineers::

CEO_Ross says:
XO: The tactical drones are designed for short range tactical testing.  Capable of .9 impulse max.

CO_Torbin says:
@FCO: If we can get one working chip, Ensign Kij should be able to replicate them for us.

Host Ortiz says:
#CNS: Hmmm... well, it says here, iso-linear chips for control systems.

FCOVnSckl says:
@Engineers: Either of you guys have a working iso-linear chip to use as a replication copy?

CNS_Jo says:
#Ortriz: Sir, it is more likely that the something on the ship infected the food or water source.

XO_David says:
CEO: Could we modify a type XI warp probe?  I want to see how the targeting scanners handle it at high velocity.

CNS_Jo says:
#Ortriz: It could be some kind of nanite.

Host Ortiz says:
#CNS: That is possible but that would imply an attack of some kind.

CEO_Ross says:
XO: Well, we could use the long range tactical drones we haven to save time they are capable of warp 7.

FCOVnSckl says:
@::gets negative responses from the engineers::  Engineers: OK, guys, both of you take 25 working chips and use them to replicate 1,250 copies.

CO_Torbin says:
*XO* We've found the problem with the transport system number 1.  Looks like half of the iso-linear chips in the system are fried beyond repair.

CTO_Valar says:
XO: Sir, we would have to launch several probes in order to fully test the scanners on high velocity targets.

XO_David says:
CEO: All right.  OPS: Get me Captain Torbin.

CO_Torbin says:
@<Engineer> ::Look at each other debating on how to say this tactfully::  FCO: Umm…Sir,  we ahh, we don't have a replicator.

OPS_Fey says:
::Hails the Captain:: *CO* This is the Elara.

CEO_Ross says:
::Walks back over to Engineering station and readies the long-range drones::

FCOVnSckl says:
@Engineer: That is a problem.

CO_Torbin says:
@::Waiting on David to respond::

CNS_Jo says:
#Ortiz:  No, Sir.  There is a rather nasty strain going around that stays dormant until such time it comes in contact with an organic substance.  Most Ferengi ships don't carry plants.

CTO_Valar says:
CEO: Ross, how many drones are you launching?

FCOVnSckl says:
@::taps comm badge:: *CEO* VanSickle to Rachmaninoff.  Can you spare a moment?

Host Ortiz says:
#CNS: I was unaware of that but we have been in a backwater out here and are not up to date.

CO_Torbin says:
@*OPS* This is the Captain, go ahead.

CEO_Ross says:
CTO: Umm 10 sound sufficient?

CEO_Ross says:
*FCO*: Yeah, Eric go ahead.

XO_David says:
OPS: I'll take it from here.

FCOVnSckl says:
@*CEO* Do you have a portable replicator on hand?

CTO_Valar says:
Ross: No, we need more than that to fully test the targeting scanners on high velocity targets.  I suggest a minimum of 40 be launched.

OPS_Fey says:
XO: Aye, Sir.

CNS_Jo says:
#Ortiz: Sir, I could get the Elara to do a shipboard scan.

XO_David says:
*CO* Captain, request permission to leave orbit.  I want to test the targeting scanners at warp.

CEO_Ross says:
*FCO* I can have one sent down right away.  Why are you having difficulties? Need me to come down or can you handle it?

CEO_Ross says:
CTO: Agreed.

Host Ortiz says:
#CNS: That sounds like a good idea.  We need to make sure our vaccine will work and maybe we can determine the exact source that way.

FCOVnSckl says:
@*CEO* We can handle it Ross.  Just need a replicator.  Lock on to my coordinates and beam one down.

CO_Torbin says:
@*XO* All right, but I need to speak with Ensign Kij first.

CMO_Liz says:
# Ortiz: Rytalyn and stokaline are normally used to treat the fever.  Have you done any tests?

CNS_Jo says:
#Ortiz:  Leave that to me, I will head back to the ship and start work on that right away with your permission, Sir?

Host Ortiz says:
#::Ortiz watches as the rest of the SMERT sets up a dispensary and clinic and begins treating the locals::

Host Ortiz says:
#CNS: By all means.  ::smiles::  Dismissed.

CMO_Liz says:
*OPS* Can you trace the Ferengi ship, Gold Brick, CO: Daimon Krupp and see if it encountered the fever elsewhere?

XO_David says:
*CO* Aye, Sir.  We'll stay in communications range.  SO: You’re on.

CEO_Ross says:
*FCO* Understood. ::Taps commands into the console informing engineering to send down a replicator::

CNS_Jo says:
#Ortiz: Aye, Sir.

SO_Kij says:
*CO* Captain, Sir?

CO_Torbin says:
*SO* How's your skill at programming iso-linear chips?

CNS_Jo says:
#COM: Transporter room, one to beam up. 

CMO_Liz says:
::Watches the CNS dematerialize::

SO_Kij says:
*CO* Ummm… I'm fairly good, Captain. Why?

FCOVnSckl says:
@::Sees the portable replicator materialize::  CO: We have a replicator.

CO_Torbin says:
@FCO: Good.  Now to get us someone to program them.

XO_David says:
CEO: Deploy sub-light and warp probes.  Give me direct control of them.

OPS_Fey says:
::Attempts a trace of the Ferengi ship::

CNS_Jo says:
*XO* Sir, I will be in the medical lab.

XO_David says:
*CNS* Understood.

CO_Torbin says:
@*SO* We're going to need roughly 1250 new iso-linear chips programmed for the transport system.  Can you beam down and assist us?

SO_Kij says:
::Jaw drops::

CNS_Jo says:
::Exits the transporter room and heads to the medical lab::

SO_Kij says:
*CO* ::struggles to control her voice:: You mean on the planet???

CTO_Valar says:
::Looks over at the SO with her jaw agape and raises an eyebrow::

FCOVnSckl says:
@Engineers: Get those chips into the replicator.

CO_Torbin says:
@*SO* Well, that would be preferable to doing it in space.  Mr. VanSickle had a portable replicator beamed down for our us.  ::grins::

SO_Kij says:
::Looks around::

FCOVnSckl says:
@::The engineers place chips on replicator plate for the computer to scan::

SO_Kij says:
*CO* Yes, yes, Sir.

CNS_Jo says:
*SO* I need you to run a full scan on the plants, NOW!

OPS_Fey says:
*CMO* We are unable to get a manifest of UFP ports. However, they did make several stops in the area.

SO_Kij says:
*CO* Just a moment, Sir.

CO_Torbin says:
@::Thinks: Must be a first away team mission for that one::  *SO* All right, I'll inform the XO you will be joining us.  Have a nice beam down.  ::grins to himself::

CNS_Jo says:
::Enters the medical lab and starts working on the virus::  *SO* Once you have the information patch it down here.

CO_Torbin says:
@*XO* Number 1, Ensign Kij will be joining us on the planet to assist with programming the iso-linear chips.

SO_Kij says:
*CNS* What, exactly am I looking for???

XO_David says:
*CO* Understood, Sir.  Good luck.

CEO_Ross says:
::Starts to feel a bit dizzy::

XO_David says:
SO: You’d better go now.

CEO_Ross says:
::Grabs onto the console to keep from collapsing::

CO_Torbin says:
@::Closes the channel and turns around::  FCO: Ensign Kij will be joining us shortly to help program these things.

CNS_Jo says:
*SO* You are looking for a synthetic virus, man-made.  Hurry.

SO_Kij says:
XO: Yes, Sir.  I'm just finishing a scan for the CNS.

FCOVnSckl says:
@CO: Aye, Sir.  Replicator is now replicating 1,250 copies of the chips.

XO_David says:
Bridge Crew: All right, listen up!

CTO_Valar says:
XO: Sir?

OPS_Fey says:
::Checks logs of distribution::

SO_Kij says:
OPS: Can you continue this work for the CNS???

XO_David says:
Bridge Crew: This is the scenario.  We have to catch the warp drones before they leave the planet’s communications range.

CTO_Valar says:
::Nods her head as she listens to the XO's instructions::

CO_Torbin says:
@FCO: We should probably start yanking out all the fried chips.

CNS_Jo says:
*SO* I will be on the Bridge shortly.  We need to modify the scan.

SO_Kij says:
::Sighs:: XO: I'm heading down now, Sir.

FCOVnSckl says:
