Host Frank_SM says:
The USS Europa is in orbit of Mining Outpost 1247.  The situation on the planetoid is dire, as a strange virus has been infecting the miners there.  An Away Team has been assembled to investigate this illness.

::At the helm monitoring orbital path::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::sitting in her chair waiting on status from the AT that they are ready to transport down::

CTO_Hexx says:
::Standing on the pad, unhappily::

MO_Jenna says:
::Running into the transporter room at the last minute, her med-pack smacking against her hip, her tricorder in her hand::

CEO_McGregor says:
::Readies his EV suit and gets ready to beam down::

CEO_McGregor says:
CTO/MO: Are you two ready?

MO_Jenna says:
::nods::  CEO: Yes, sir

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::taps her fingers:: *CEO*: Are you all ready yet? ::smiles::

CTO_Hexx says:
CEO: Aw hell no.  Sir.  But if'n we gotta go, we gotta go.

CEO_McGregor says:
*CO*: Aye sir we're ready to go

CTO_Hexx says:
All: Just hopin' we ain't goin' t' "go".  If'n ya know what I mean?

CEO_McGregor says:
Self: Into the fryin' pan again

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CEO*: Great. Then I hope to hear from you safely from down below.

CEO_McGregor says:
*CO*: Me too sir

CEO_McGregor says:
::Motions for the Transporter chief to work his controls::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
<TR Chief> ::energizes::

Host Sid says:
Action: The Away Team materializes in a subterranean tunnel.  Sid is there to meet them.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
FCO: So what do you think about all this?

Host Sid says:
@ALL: Good to see you made it.  Follow me to the infirmary.

CEO_McGregor says:
@Sid: I am Lt McGregor of the Europa

MO_Jenna says:
@::Thinks: Well, right down to business::

CTO_Hexx says:
@::Looks around at the surroundings.::

FCO_Voraye says:
CO: It's good that we can do this sort of thing, assist people. I mean...that's what Starfleet's for in some regard. But I'm a little concerned about the health risk to the crew.

CEO_McGregor says:
@::Follows Sid::

Host Sid says:
@CEO: Good to meet you Lt.  ::Extends his hand to the EVA suited officer::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
FCO: Yes. I am too,

CEO_McGregor says:
@Sid: Just how many of you are infected?

CEO_McGregor says:
@::Shakes his hand as he asks some questions::

Host Sid says:
@CEO: Right now we have 12 people showing symptoms... 2 have died.

CEO_McGregor says:
@SID: This is our Medical Officer Dr. Jenna, And our Chief of tactical operations, Mr.Hexx

FCO_Voraye says:
CO: The symptoms of this thing don't sound very friendly.

MO_Jenna says:
@Sid: What kind of symptoms are we looking at?

CEO_McGregor says:
@Sid: What have you done with the bodies?

Host Sid says:
@::Coughs into his hand, which, if closely examined is flecked with blood::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
FCO: No they do not... I am hoping that this is something we can figure out... ::feels badly for the people in the mine::

Host Sid says:
@CEO: They were buried.

CEO_McGregor says:
@::Sees Sid and looks at the MO::

MO_Jenna says:
@Sid: Did you run autopsies?

MO_Jenna says:
@::Nods back to the CEO, having seen him wipe his hands::

Host Sid says:
@MO: No, we have only minimal medical personnel here.

CEO_McGregor says:
@Sid: According to the layout of this facility I have seen a storage compartment

CEO_McGregor says:
@Sid: I will need to see it

FCO_Voraye says:
CO: I wonder what the scale of this infection is. How much of their populous it covers.

Host Sid says:
@CEO: Yes, we have a supply area for to keep parts and such, for our mining tools.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
FCO: Good question... ::pulls up the records of what the populace is and compares it to the people that were reported to have symptoms, which 12 effected and two dead, gets a percentage calculated by the computer::

CEO_McGregor says:
@MO: Doctor ,accompany Sid here and the CTO will come with me

CTO_Hexx says:
@Sid: Have y'all had any visitors here in the last, oh, say month or so?

Host Sid says:
@CTO: We have a few cargo ships stop by to bring us supplies and ship out the dilithium... Off the top of my head I would guess about 3 or 4.

CTO_Hexx says:
@Sid: Before we leave we'll need a list of those ships.  Unless y'all dug into some sort of virus in your mine, it came here on one of those ships.  Maybe in a supply crate.  Reckon we'll need to examine those too.

CEO_McGregor says:
@Sid: How recently?

CTO_Hexx says:
@CEO: Looks like we got our work cut out for us.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
FCO: About one quarter of their population has been infected. Yuck. ::frowns::

MO_Jenna says:
@::Thinks they should have brought more medics::

CEO_McGregor says:
@CTO: Indeed ,Indeed

FCO_Voraye says:
CO: That's not a pretty picture.

FCO_Voraye says:
CO: This investigation and treatment will certainly take time and effort.

Host Sid says:
@CEO: The last one was about a week ago, just before we started getting sick.  The SS Shelton or something like that.  You’re free to check our records.

CEO_McGregor says:
@CTO: I leave the records check to you ,I'll check out the storage compartment

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
FCO: Yep. Not pretty at all... I wonder... how long it takes for the disease to run its course... ::hears the FCO:: I hope we can get this taken care of in time....

CEO_McGregor says:
@MO: You stay with Sid ,and keep me apprised will ya

CTO_Hexx says:
@TO Mabinga: That's yours.  Get the records of all the ships stopping here in the last two months, their manifests and their destinations from here.  Coordinate with the Europa.

CEO_McGregor says:
@*CO*: McGregor to Europa

MO_Jenna says:
@Sid: I think that leaves us to check out the infirmary.  First, I'd like to see if we can get the dead bodies sent up to the Europa for autopsy

CTO_Hexx says:
@TO Mabinga: And don't beam back up without checking with the doc here o.k?

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CEO*: Go ahead.

Host Sid says:
@CEO: Look, I'm one of those who have been diagnosed... and I'm kinda tired.  I'll leave y'all to your jobs once we get to the infirmary.

CTO_Hexx says:
@CEO: Sokay sir, I'll come along.  The boys here can handle the paperwork.

CTO_Hexx says:
@TO Monet: You stay with the doc and Mr. Sid.

CEO_McGregor says:
@*CO*: Captain the situation down here is not good, They have had 3 to 4 ships here recently, The most recent appears to be the Shelton

CEO_McGregor says:
@Sid: Very well ,you have no objections to the doctor running some tests on you if needed

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CEO*: I'll have operations check on the Shelton and the other ships that came through.

CEO_McGregor says:
@*CO*: Roughly 25 % are infected with 2 dead

Host Sid says:
@CEO: No, not at all.  I really hope she can do something about this.

CEO_McGregor says:
@*CO*: Aye sir, The CTO is checking on the records on this end ,the doctor is with the ill and I will be checking on the containment area

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CEO*: Understood. Keep me informed.

CEO_McGregor says:
@Sid: Very well

CEO_McGregor says:
@*CO*: Aye sir McGregor out

Host Sid says:
@MO: Well, we're here.  ::Let's the door slide open and motions for her to enter ahead of him::

CEO_McGregor says:
::Makes his way to the storage compartment::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::turns to the duty OPS officer:: OPS: Track down the USS Shelton and the other ships that have been here and see if they too are having the same difficulties.

CEO_McGregor says:
@::Finds the storage compartment::

FCO_Voraye says:
<OPS Stifler> ::Turns briefly at the Captain's Voice then begins to open ship movement lists:: CO: Aye, ma'am.

CTO_Hexx says:
@::Follows the CEO, imagining tiny viruses crawling all over the outside of the suit.

CTO_Hexx says:
::

MO_Jenna says:
@::Walks in through the door, wondering if he head him::  Sid: Is it possible to have the two dead bodies beamed up to the Europa, as well?  I'd like to get those autopsies going.

CEO_McGregor says:
@::Looks around the compartment:: CTO: We will need all this stuff moved out of here, I think the ships transporters can do the job, What do you think

CEO_McGregor says:
@*CO*: Captain, I think this compartment will work, But we have a lot of parts and supplies to move

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@*CEO*: Alright. How much manpower do you think it will take?

CTO_Hexx says:
@CEO: Where ya fixin' to put it?

Host Sid says:
@MO: Yes, of course.  ::Walks through the door and sits on his bed, one of twelve in the makeshift hospital::  Go check on Myrna over there, he's probably in the worst shape of us all. ::Points to a rather bruised looking young man lying a few beds over::

CEO_McGregor says:
@*CO*: I think we could use the ships transporters to do that for us, the problem is where to put it

CEO_McGregor says:
@*CO*: We could transport it into the mines

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CEO*: As long as it won't interfere with the operation, sounds like a plan to me

MO_Jenna says:
@::Nods to Sid, and pulls her tricorder from the pouch on her EVA suit, scanning the person he indicated::

CTO_Hexx says:
@::Goes to look through some of the stuff.::

CEO_McGregor says:
@*CO*: I have found a deserted section of the mine that would be of use, Also captain I will need from the Europa 3 portable containment generators

Host Sid says:
@::Once he lies down his eyes close almost immediately, he is exhausted::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::nods at the CEO though he cannot see her:: *CEO*: I'll see about getting those for you....

Host Sid says:
Action:  The young man being examined by the MO is sleeping.  He is very bruised and has a drop of blood running from his left eye.  His lips are flecked with dried blood and his nose is also bleeding.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
OPS: The CEO tells me he'll need three portable containment generators for the quarantine area we plan to set up.

CEO_McGregor says:
@*CO*: Aye Captain, We’ll begin our preparations

FCO_Voraye says:
<OPS> CO: Aye. I'll requisition them right now. ::Draws up Quartermaster list and finds portable containment generators:: I'm beaming them down now. ::Initiates transport::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CEO*: They should be on their way.

CTO_Hexx says:
@CEO: I was thinkin', could we move everyone in here, and then open the rest of the mines and living areas to vacuum?  Might kill off the virus out there and give us some breathing room.  No pun intended.

CEO_McGregor says:
@*CO*: Thank you Captain

MO_Jenna says:
@::As the tricorder runs all its scans, she does her visual inspection... not very pretty.  She injects him with a blood clottier to help stop the blood seeping from his eyes and nose, then dabs some up with a cloth and places it in a sealed container::

CEO_McGregor says:
@CTO: That  is an Idea, Lets hear from the doctor first

CTO_Hexx says:
@::Takes out a tricorder and runs some scans of the various crates and their contents.::

Host John says:
@::Walks into the Infirmary and sees Jenna tending to his patient:: MO: Can I help you... Uhhhh?

CEO_McGregor says:
@::Mulls over the Vacuum idea in his head::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
OPS: Any information on the Shelton yet?

MO_Jenna says:
@::Turns to the voice::  John: I'm Doctor Jenna, of the USS Europa.  We've responded to your call for Medical assistance.

CEO_McGregor says:
@*Jenna*: McGregor to Jenna

Host John says:
@MO: Oh, yeah, I've been expecting you. ::Looks to Myrna:: Not gonna be much longer for him...

MO_Jenna says:
@*CEO*: Yes, sir?

CEO_McGregor says:
@*Jenna*: How are things going, any news to report yet

MO_Jenna says:
@John: I would like to have the two dead bodies beamed up to the Europa for autopsy.  Is that possible?

CEO_McGregor says:
@*Jenna*: We'll have the Isolation compartment ready soon

FCO_Voraye says:
::Continues monitoring flight path::

MO_Jenna says:
@*CEO*: Well, there's twelve bodies here... most of them are in bad shape.

Host John says:
@MO: Sure, they're buried in a mined out shaft. ::Hands her a PADD with a map on it, showing the coordinates::

CEO_McGregor says:
@*MO*: I thought we only had 2 dead, now we have 12?

FCO_Voraye says:
<OPS>CO: The Shelton hasn't been heard from since its stop here at the outpost.

MO_Jenna says:
@*CEO*: These aren't the dead ones.  The two dead are in a mineshaft, I have the coordinates for that...

CEO_McGregor says:
@*MO*: Have you been able to determine if the cause is airborne?

FCO_Voraye says:
<OPS> CO: Seems they departed on schedule but other than that we've seen hide nor hair of them.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::blanches:: OPS: Better inform sector command that the Shelton may have the same disease the mining operation has. Get them to check on its transponder signal...

MO_Jenna says:
@*CEO*: I'm still collecting samples and scanning patients.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
OPS: Where was it supposed to go?

FCO_Voraye says:
<OPS> CO: Aye. ::Opens a secure channel to Starfleet Command and sends an encrypted message conveying the tale of the Shelton and Mining Outpost 1247::

CEO_McGregor says:
@*MO*: we should be able to move the ill down here in a matter of moments

MO_Jenna says:
@::Collecting samples of air and surfaces while talking::  *CEO*: Understood.  Anything else, sir?

CEO_McGregor says:
@CTO: Help me set up these portable generators

CEO_McGregor says:
@*MO*: No not at the moment

MO_Jenna says:
@::Closes the channel::  *OPS*: Europa, come in please.

FCO_Voraye says:
<OPS> CO: It was en route to Starbase 384.

FCO_Voraye says:
<OPS> *MO*: Europa Here.

CTO_Hexx says:
@::Closes up the tricorder and goes to assist the CEO.::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
OPS: Alright... ::pauses as she hears the MO chime in with OPS::

CEO_McGregor says:
@::Begins to set up the portable generators::

MO_Jenna says:
@::Opens a data link to the Europa::  *OPS*: I'm uploading all my data so far.  I also have the coordinates of the two dead bodies.  I need them beamed up to the morgue, highest security and biological precautionary procedures.  You'll have to override the safeties to turn off the biofilters.  ::Begins reading coordinates off the PADD::

CTO_Hexx says:
@CEO: Let's take our time, make sure of our movements.  If we rip these suits, we're gonna be in real trouble.

FCO_Voraye says:
<OPS> *MO*: Receiving data. We'll work with Medical to take all necessary and unnecessary precautionary measures. ::Goes to work on the Medical Transport Thingy::

CEO_McGregor says:
@CTO: Aye I agree, we do need to make a good speed

CTO_Hexx says:
@::Stops::  CEO: No.  I said, let's go real slow.  Real careful.

MO_Jenna says:
@*OPS*: I'll be sending up some samples shortly, too.  The biofilters would have to be turned off for that, too, but those containers are sealed.

FCO_Voraye says:
CO/OPS: Kind of freaky that it was headed where we were just a little while ago. And to think, if it hadn't been stopped, we might be infected now too. ::Looks around in an eerie and forelorning sort of way::

CEO_McGregor says:
@CTO: We have 12 seriously ill up there and a virus of some sort moving around this colony, The sooner we isolate it the better

CTO_Hexx says:
@CEO: Like my daddy always said, "Never kick a cow chip on a hot day".  And it's plenty hot in here.  ::Smiles::

FCO_Voraye says:
<OPS> *MO*: Aye. ::Deactivates Biofilters for various transports, initiates transporter activity:: FCO: "Freaky" indeed.

CEO_McGregor says:
@CTO: ok last one and were on line

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::also frowns:: FCO: Not sure if that is the case or not.... but I wonder what curse SB 384 is under.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::thinks a moment about exorcising the station::

FCO_Voraye says:
CO: I heard the Ferengi are getting into the curse dealing business. Expensive stuff, though. Costs an arm, a leg, a prosthetic heart and beaucoup de latinum. ::Jokingly::

MO_Jenna says:
@::Goes back to taking samples and looks over at John::  John: Do you know anything that can help us?

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
FCO: The Ferengi are charging to lift curses? ::rolls her eyes::

CEO_McGregor says:
@CTO : Ok lets test her out

CTO_Hexx says:
@::Nods and moves out of the way.::

Host John says:
@MO: Not much.  People started getting sick about 5 days ago.  Sometimes this thing is quick... like with Ericson, he's one of the guys you beamed up.  Others symptoms come on slow, like ole Sid there.

MO_Jenna says:
@John: But not everyone is affected right now...

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
FCO: I don't think the Ferengi have such a capability... ::frowns again::

CEO_McGregor says:
::Powers up the generators and aligns the containment field to spec's::

MO_Jenna says:
@John: Are you infected?

FCO_Voraye says:
CO: Ya never know about those Ferengi. I think it's something in the ears. Magical Earlobes.....::Shifts Eyes suspiciously::

Host John says:
@MO: No, unless some people are holding back, no one new has been infected.

CEO_McGregor says:
@Self: Good it works fine

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::laughs:: FCO: Yeah right... magickal earlobes... ::chuckles::

Host John says:
@MO: Like me.  Been working with these guys from the start... so far nothing.  I pray it stays that way.

CEO_McGregor says:
@*CO*: Captain the Containment field is operational, The isolation ward is ready for the Doctor

MO_Jenna says:
@*AT*: Away Team, this is Jenna, come in.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CEO*: Great. Let the people on the surface know

CEO_McGregor says:
@*MO*: Go ahead doctor

FCO_Voraye says:
CO: You scoff now, but just you wait and see.....

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::thinks of Pez a moment:: FCO: I don't think a Ferengi anywhere has a magickal bone in his body... or cartilage for that matter.

FCO_Voraye says:
::Disbelievedly:: CO: If you say so....

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::a twinkle in her eye:: FCO: I know  so... ::grins::

MO_Jenna says:
@*CEO/CTO*: Sirs, the medic who's been working with the ill is not infected.  This leads me to speculate right now that the pathogen is airborne.  I'd still like to use isolation procedures.

CEO_McGregor says:
@*MO*: The isolation ward is ready doctor when you are

CEO_McGregor says:
@*CO*: Aye sir already done

CTO_Hexx says:
@CEO: You know she's gonna have to disinfect in here before we bring people in right?

CEO_McGregor says:
@*CO*: Captain the Doctor believes the virus is airbourne, the medic that has been here is not infected

FCO_Voraye says:
::Shakes head:: CO: Aye, ma'am. ::Resumes monitoring flight course and attempts to clear mind of magical Ferengi with shillelagh sticks::

CEO_McGregor says:
@*MO*: Doctor we have a disinfecting center set up prior to entrance to the Isolation ward

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::frowns:: *CEO*: We'll have to see if we can determine why he's not infected

CEO_McGregor says:
@*CO*: Aye sir, This place gives me the creeps.......But is all ready for the doctor

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CEO*: Well Calahan's got a lot of work to do.... alright. Good to know, get the sick miners in quarantine

CEO_McGregor says:
@*CO*: Aye Captain, Will do

Host John says:
