@::Starts to help with the repairs::

CNS_Jo says:
#Ortiz: I have never seen anything quite like it in my years of working with viruses.. The vaccine is fine.  It will do the job but we still need to find out how the virus got here.  I have an idea but I’m not quite sure.

CTO: Can you tell its heading?

S`ic says:
#::Quickly pulls out phaser and stuns the person watching the vaccine line.  Grabs 4 vials and makes a run for it::

Ens_Kij says:
@::Scans the chip with her tricorder::

FCOVnSckl says:
@Ross: I'm not sure, but keep it.  We may need to take it back up to the ship for closer study.  Could be sabotaged.

#*XO* We are being attacked.

CTO_Valar says:
XO: Energy signatures are of unknown origin.

Ens_Kij says:
@FCO/CEO: There is something odd about it.

CTO_Valar says:
XO: There are no responses on any channels to our hails.

XO_David says:
*Transporter Room* Beam the CNS and the supplies out!

S`ic says:
#::Gets up and continues towards his home.  Tries not to look suspicious::

CEO_Ross says:
@FCO: Did you detect any signs of tampering on the isolinear casing?

XO_David says:
*FCO* Harison to VanSickle.

FCOVnSckl says:
@CEO: Scans picked up some evidence consistent of it.

FCOVnSckl says:
@*XO* Go ahead, Commander.

XO_David says:
*FCO* Is there any trouble down there?

CTO_Valar says:
::Continues to monitor the approaching vessel on long-range sensors::

OPS says:

FCOVnSckl says:
@*XO* No trouble in here, but we may have evidence of sabotage.

CEO_Ross says:
@::Walks back over to his tool case grabs a diagnostic tester::

XO_David says:
*FCO* The CNS reported she was under attack.  Be ready.  Call for beam out if needed.

Ens_Kij says:
@FCO/CEO: This is most definitely not a normal isolinear chip.

FCOVnSckl says:
@*XO* Understood.

FCOVnSckl says:
@SO: Explain.

CNS_Jo says:
#XO:  Sir, there are about 300 people.  I could really use some help.

XO_David says:
CTO: Any change in the ship’s course?

OPS says:
XO: Would you like me to initiate the transporter from here?

XO_David says:
*CNS* Beam out.  Take any equipment with you.

CEO_Ross says:
@FCO/SO: Here, let me see that chip.

XO_David says:
OPS: Do it.

CTO_Valar says:
XO: Negative, Sir.  Vessel is holding steady at warp 1 and has not altered course.

XO_David says:
CTO: ETA?

OPS says:
::Initiates transporter for the SMERT team::

Ens_Kij says:
@FCO: Mostly it's just a feeling I have, but I scanned it and it seems it was triggered to burn out at a predetermined time.

CTO_Valar says:
XO: ETA to intercept, 5 minutes.  ::Switches to short-range sensors::

FCOVnSckl says:
@SO: Can we tell who made those chips?

CEO_Ross says:
@ALL: Scans indicate that it was rigged to burn out when its data stream reached a particular load capacity.

XO_David says:
CTO: Are their weapons powered?

CNS_Jo says:
#::Fights off some of the crowd as they continue their attack:::

CTO_Valar says:
XO: Sir, weapons and shield modifications are online and ready at your command.

Ens_Kij says:
@FCO: They were made on Ferenginar, Sir.

XO_David says:
OPS: Status of the CNS’ team.  Are they onboard?

FCOVnSckl says:
@ALL: Ferengi????  Those big-eared, greedy bastards!

CTO_Valar says:
XO: Checking now, Sir.

Adm_Tolan says:
<COMM> Elara: This is Admiral Tolan.  You have violated  Arkonnian space.  Leave immediately or suffer the consequences!

CNS_Jo says:
#*XO* WILLYOU GET US OUT OF HERE!

XO_David says:

CTO_Valar says:
XO: Aye, Sir.  ::takes ship to Yellow Alert status::

FCOVnSckl says:
@*XO* We've discovered what happened down here.

CNS_Jo says:
::steps off the transporter pad:: SMERT: Okay, is every one all right?

FCOVnSckl says:
@*XO* Definite sabotage.

Ens_Kij says:
@FCO: A Ferengi ship, the Gold Brick for example, might have brought them.

CNS_Jo says:
*XO* Sir, we are now all back on the Elara.

FCOVnSckl says:
@*XO* It seems our good friends, the Ferengi, have sold some inferior merchandise to the Karpeans.

XO_David says:
::sighs::*CNS* What happened?

Adm_Tolan says:
<COMM> Elara: I repeat, leave this area or suffer the consequences.

Ens_Kij says:
@ ALL: Can we tell if the Ferengi tampered with the chips or if someone else did?

FCOVnSckl says:
@*XO* Of course, the findings are only preliminary.  I suggest we study these chips further when we get back to the ship under full spectral scans.

Adm_Tolan says:
<COMM> Elara: This will be your last warning!

XO_David says:
COMM: Adm. Tolan: We are on a mission of peace.  Please stand down.

CEO_Ross says:
@::Tries to repair the chips so the team can go back to the Elara and he starts to feel very nervous::

CNS_Jo says:
*XO* They just started to move on the team.  There was nothing we could do.  Sick people tend to do strange things.  I am on my way to the Bridge to brief you.

XO_David says:
*FCO* Understood.  Get ready to beam out.  We've got company.

Ens_Kij says:
@::Runs over to help the CEO.  Feels like something bad is going to happen::

FCOVnSckl says:
@*XO* Aye, Sir.

XO_David says:
*CNS* Negative.  Report to Sickbay in case we have casualties.

FCOVnSckl says:
@CEO/SO/Rest of engineers:  Prepare for beam out.

Ens_Kij says:

SMERT:  Okay, everyone, we should all go to Sickbay and get checked out.  If you will follow me, please?

Ens_Kij says:

FCOVnSckl says:
@::Materializes in transporter room then rushes out to Bridge::  CEO/SO: No time to discuss this.  Hustle to your stations!

Adm_Tolan says:
<COMM> Elara: I will show you no mercy!  You must leave at once!!

XO_David says:
OPS: Is everyone onboard?

Adm_Tolan says:
::Powers up weapons::

OPS says:
FCO: Everyone has been accounted for.

CTO_Valar says:
XO: Sir, the vessel has powered up their weapons.

CEO_Ross says:

CTO_Valar says:
XO: Aye, Sir.  ::Brings ship to Red Alert and powers up the new weapons and shield systems.  Mutters to herself: Finally!::

XO_David says:
All: All right, we have one of two options.  We can retreat and leave a people to suffer or we can stay and fight.

CNS_Jo says:
*Sickbay* I am on my way, get ready for 11 casualties and have a cup of coffee ready for me!

CEO_Ross says:

OPS says:

Ens_Kij says:
::Thinks: Uh oh::

FCOVnSckl says:
XO: We'd better defend these people.

CTO_Valar says:
XO: ::Raises one eyebrow as she looks up from her console to the XO::  You already know what I think.

Ens_Kij says:
XO: That's no choice.

Adm_Tolan says:
::Fires a sub-light missile across the Elara's bow, trying to persuade them to leave::

CTO_Valar says:

XO_David says:
FCO/ACSO/CTO: Agreed.  CTO: Target their weapons systems.

FCOVnSckl says:
XO: Incoming!

CTO_Valar says:
XO: They have fired a missile across our bow.  No damage.

CEO_Ross says:
CTO: Valar weapons systems are as hot as I can get them::

CTO_Valar says:
XO: Aye, Sir.  Target locked.

OPS says:

XO_David says:
CTO: Stand by for my order to fire.

Adm_Tolan says:
<COMM> Elara: I care not of these people.  They will either survive or die as the week race they are.

FCOVnSckl says:
XO: Supposedly the Arkonn Empire is no more.  I suggest making that assertation by telling them they have no claim on this area.

CTO_Valar says:
XO: Aye, Sir.  I have a target lock on their weapons array.

CNS_Jo says:
::Arrives in Sickbay as a nurse hands her a cup of coffee.  Takes a sip starts to treat the SMERT team::

XO_David says:
COMM: Tolan: It is also my understanding that the Arkonn Empire has fallen and that you have no claim to this space.

Adm_Tolan says:
<COMM> Elara: I have never lost claim to this area of space!  It is Arkonnian and always will be!!

XO_David says:
COMM: Tolan: Firing on a Federation vessel is NOT advisable.  Please allow us to stay and help these people.  Perhaps one day they can help form a new Arkonn Empire.

CTO_Valar says:
