Host Frank_SM says:
The USS Europa has been plagued by a virus.  It was a genetically enginneered virus designed to target Cardassians.  The big question is by whom...
Host Frank_SM says:
<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>
XO_Vernius says:
::leaning back in his command chair, pondering the lack of information::
CTO_Wolf says:
::finishes reading through the intelligence report and looks up to see where the XO is::
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
::working with the FCO on deciphering the rest of the data::
XO_Vernius says:
::feels the eyes of the CTO and wonders what that's all about::
CTO_Wolf says:
XO: Commander may i see you for a minute please
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: Certainly, is the topic sensitive?
CTO_Wolf says:
XO: yes sir it is
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: Very well, wait for me in the Observation Lounge.
CTO_Wolf says:
XO: Aye Sir
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
<edit my earlier statement to read working withthe CNS and not the FCO>
XO_Vernius says:
CO: Sir, if you'll excuse me a moment, the CTO has something he wishes to share.
CTO_Wolf says:
::picks up PADD and heads for the observation lounge::
CO_Durron says:
::Nods to the XO than folds his arms over his chest::
FCO_Kami says:
::At his post, keeping track of the course of the ship.::
XO_Vernius says:
::Nods and follows the CTO::
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: What've you got. ::sits at the head of the table:: And sit down, Ensign.
CTO_Wolf says:
::sits down opposite the XO::
CNS_Chitwa says:
::goes through the crew roster on a PADD, sending form letters to the Cardie members.::
CTO_Wolf says:
::Slides PADD across the table to the XO::
XO_Vernius says:
::Picks up the PADD and looks:: CTO: I see... do you have any expertise in this... field?
CO_Durron says:
FCO: Are we within communications range of the Galor?
CTO_Wolf says:
XO: That PADD contains the results of my investigation into that virus we encountered
CTO_Wolf says:
XO: yes sir i do, i`m cross trained in intell and counter intelligence
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: So I see...
FCO_Kami says:
CO: Yes, sir.
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: Do you have any experience with Section 31?
CTO_Wolf says:
XO: I believe someone is devoloping metagneic weapons
FCO_Kami says:
CO: Would you like me to hail them, sir?
CTO_Wolf says:
XO: Ive heard of them sir
CO_Durron says:
FCO: Yes please.
FCO_Kami says:
::Sends a hail to the Galor.::
CO_Durron says:
CNS: How many Cardassian or part cardassian crewmembers do we have onboard?
CTO_Wolf says:
XO: I cant beleive federation citicens would be responsible for genocide
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: I'm afraid that doesn't help me then. I've been operating under a similar hypothesis for the last 3 hours, and my security clearence is significantly higher than yours... Still there's nothing.
CO_Durron says:
EO: Have you decripted the last five entries?
CTO_Wolf says:
XO: Commander my contacts within starfleet intelligence clammed up as soon as i metioned this virus and section 31
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: Applying the values of a populance to it's entire constituency is folly, you should know that.
CTO_Wolf says:
XO: I do sir
CTO_Wolf says:
XO: I havent got all the puzzle peices yet
CNS_Chitwa says:
CO: Just one it seems sirrr.
FCO_Kami says:
CO: No response, sir.
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: You will never get them all, Ensign. You may not ever even get most of them.
CTO_Wolf says:
XO: I thought i should show what ive got so far
CO_Durron says:
CNS: Have them report immediatly to sickbay.
CNS_Chitwa says:
CO: Alrrready sent them a notice, sirrr.
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: Appreciated Ensign. Dismissed.
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: Oh and Ensign?
CO_Durron says:
FCO: Open a broad channel hail. Begin transmiting on my signal.
CTO_Wolf says:
XO: Aye sir ::stands and leaves the room::
CO_Durron says:
CNS: Very good.
Host Frank_SM says:
Action: There ius no acknowledgement recieved from the part Cardassian crewman.
FCO_Kami says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::Opens a broad channel hail and prepares for the CO's signal.:: Ready when you are, sir.
CTO_Wolf says:
::returns to duty station::
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: Halt your investigation on this matter, for your own safety. Some people have a tendency to render permenant solutions to troublesome problems... if you get my drift?
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CO: Yes sir I have deciphered them.  They are confused and paranoid.  It is obvious that the people involved are completely nuts and it seems that everyone was plotting againso everyone else.  Doesn't make sense sir.
CO_Durron says:
::nods to the FCO::
FCO_Kami says:
::Presses the button to send out the hail.::
CNS_Chitwa says:
CO: I think something's wrrrong. The crrrewman's not answerrring.
CTO_Wolf says:
XO: Aye sir
CO_Durron says:
COM: GALOR: This is Captain Durron onboard starfleet vessel USS Europa.  You are on a direct course for the DeMiliterized Zone. Please change course.
CO_Durron says:
::signals for the FCO to stop transmitting::
XO_Vernius says:
::mulls over the PADD for a moment, then stands and returns to the bridge, making a note to put a commendation for high level thinking in the CTO's file::
CTO_Wolf says:
::reutrns attention to the Galor ::
FCO_Kami says:
::Ends the transmission and watches the Galor's course.::
Host Frank_SM says:
Action: There is no response to the hail, either in an answer, or a course change.
CO_Durron says:
CNS: Locate the crewman and dispach a medical team to his location.
CO_Durron says:
CNS: I would suggest you accompany them.
CNS_Chitwa says:
::nods:: CO:Yes sirrr. ::gets up and heads for the TL::
CO_Durron says:
EO: Good work.  Any joy on the sensor logs.
FCO_Kami says:
CO: Sir, the Galor is not acknowledging us. They haven't responded to the hail and are not changing course.
CO_Durron says:
::thinks for a moment:: FCO: Thank you Lieutenant.  Please accompany the CNS.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CO: Sir as far as the sensor logs go there is nothing unusual detected externally.  The internal sensors, did detect sporatic weapons fire in the compound.  There was no security alert issued for this however and this is only a small portion of the logs.  A day before the sensors went offline....sir.
XO_Vernius says:
::sits down and listens to the information from the bridge crew::
CO_Durron says:
EO: So they spent the last few days trying to kill each other.  Keep working backwards until you can find the source of the infection.
CTO_Wolf says:
::begins long range tactical cans of the Galor::
FCO_Kami says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::Follows the CNS.::
CNS_Chitwa says:
::holds the TL for the FCO::
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CO: Will do sir.
FCO_Kami says:
::Runs into the TL.::
CO_Durron says:
CTO: Focuse all sensors on the Galor.  Let them know we are here and don't like being ignored.
CTO_Wolf says:
CO: Aye sir
CNS_Chitwa says:
::smiles:: FCO: Hi Kami.
CTO_Wolf says:
::focuses sensors on the Galor::
FCO_Kami says:
::Smiles back.:: CNS: Hey.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
::continues to work on the source of the infection::
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: Time until the Galor crosses the DMZ?
CNS_Chitwa says:
::checks her PADD:: TL: Crew Quarrrrterrrs.
FCO_Kami says:
CNS: So who are we going to check on?
CTO_Wolf says:
CO: We have a few hours sir
CO_Durron says:
CTO: Compare the Galor's sensor signature to our files see if you can get a ship name and a captain's name for me.
CTO_Wolf says:
XO: Aye sir
CNS_Chitwa says:
::checks her PADD:: FCO:Umm...Evans.
FCO_Kami says:
CNS: Yeah, don't know that person. So this person is part Cardassian?
CTO_Wolf says:
::runs the signature through the database::
CO_Durron says:
EO: See if the Nurse has any idea how long this virus takes to incubate.
XO_Vernius says:
::whispers in the Captain's ear:: CO: Should we warn them? For that matter, they may all be dead.
CNS_Chitwa says:
FCO: She's 1/4 Carrrdassian.
FCO_Kami says:
CNS: What does this thing do to Cardassians.
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: Have the computer analyze the sensor data on the Galor, have it give me a probability based on its movements that the crew is alive or dead...
CNS_Chitwa says:
::shrugs::
CTO_Wolf says:
XO: Working sir
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CO: Sir I don't have that information yet but I will send the nurse what I have so far.  ::taps the command for the computer to send all deciphered information to the nurse in sick bay with the orders the CO just gave her::
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CO: Information is sent sir.
CTO_Wolf says:
XO: Sir the ship appears to be fully crewed and fully armed, and she is the La'Hore
CO_Durron says:
EO: As I said, ask the nurse if she has that information.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CO: Yes sir,
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
*Sickbay* Nurse do you have any relevant information on this virus that has affected this crew yet?
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
<Nurse> *EO*: Tell the captain that the virus is fast.  The symptoms appear within hours and it takes about a week to run its course.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CO: Sir the nurse reports that the virus is very fast and the symptoms appear within hours and it takes about a week for the virus to run its course.
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: I see, any data on her Captain?
CTO_Wolf says:
XO: Checking now sir
CO_Durron says:
::overhears the EO's commbadge:: EO: Find the earliest log where they show symptoms of the illness and look at the sensor readings from a few hours before that.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CO: Understood sir. Checking now.
XO_Vernius says:
::quietly:: CO: I'm not worried about fighting the Galor, I know their weaknesses well, but it may be casus belli, if you know what I mean
CO_Durron says:
XO: I'd rather not fight her, and if we do I want her disabled not destroyed.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
::finding the information quickly::  CO: Sir there was a supply ship that showed up a few hours before the illness showed up.  I bet it was on the supply ship.
CO_Durron says:
EO: So would I.  Find out where that supply ship came from.
XO_Vernius says:
CO: Possible, but more tricky than destroying her outright. There's a weakness in their shield matrix surrounding their anti-matter containment. One wellplaced shot and the Galor is so much space dust.
CO_Durron says:
EO: Also forward the sensor data on the supply ship to the XO.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CO: Yess sir checking on it now sir.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CO: Understood sir sending to XO's console now sir.
XO_Vernius says:
::pulls up the data as the EO sends it over::
CO_Durron says:
XO: I will keep that in mind Commander.  Compair the sensor signature of that freighter to the records.
XO_Vernius says:
CO: Aye, sir.
CTO_Wolf says:
::begins looking throught the database for the name of the ships captain::
CO_Durron says:
CTO: Check Long range sensors, make sure that we aren't being blinded by target fixation.
CTO_Wolf says:
CO: Aye sir
CTO_Wolf says:
CO: LRS show nothing but the La'Hore sir
CO_Durron says:
EO: Once you have the home port of that freighter I want you to see what you can do about setting up a tachyon detection grid using the Europa's probes.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CO: Understood sir.
XO_Vernius says:
::starts cross checking the frieghter drive signature against federation records::
CTO_Wolf says:
CO: Sir her captain is Gul Goo'done, he is a member of the cardassian millitary
XO_Vernius says:
CO: Sir, there's no mention of the Freighter in our database, and I'm afraid sending the name and signature back to SB 102 may set off more alarm bells in places that I don't want them set off in
XO_Vernius says:
CO: Sir... what happened to the CNS, I haven’t heard from her in some time...
XO_Vernius says:
*CNS*: Report
CO_Durron says:
::gets a sinking feeling in his gut:: XO: Check on her...take the CTO, and your sidearms.
XO_Vernius says:
CO: Aye, sir.
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: You're with me. ::makes sure his side arm is in its proper place::
CO_Durron says:
XO: She was checking on the one 1/4 cardassian crewmember onboard.
CTO_Wolf says:
::nods t nearest TO to take his place and follows the XO::
XO_Vernius says:
::Get's on the Turbo-lift and waits for the CTO:: TL: Crew quarters, priority override, Vernius Alpha 1
CTO_Wolf says:
::checks pahser setting::
XO_Vernius says:
::pulls out his .45 and racks the slide::
CTO_Wolf says:
<phaser>
XO_Vernius says:
::feels the turbolift slide to a halt and watches the doors open::
CO_Durron says:
::brings up a communications control panel up on his armrest console and opens a channel to the La'Hore::
XO_Vernius says:
::Makes gestures to the CTO indicating that the young Ensign cover his back::
CTO_Wolf says:
::nods to the XO and covers him::
XO_Vernius says:
::leads the way silently down the corridor, .45 pointed at the ceiling, but ready::
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
::tracing the flight path of the supply ship backwards and suddenly it ends in the middle of nowhere::
CTO_Wolf says:
::scans the corridor::
XO_Vernius says:
::sees an open door near the end fof the corridor and moves toward it, keeping aware of his surroundings::
CO_Durron says:
COM: La'Hore: Gul Goo'done, this is Captain Durron onboard the USS Europa.  You are approaching the Demilaritized zone.  Change course at once.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
Outloud: HuH?  What the hell.........
XO_Vernius says:
::in gestures:: CTO: Cover the door, while I breach, then follow.
CO_Durron says:
::waits for a reply::
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CO; You are not going to believe this but I traced the route of the supply ship and it ends in the middle of nowhere.
CTO_Wolf says:
::nods and takes position::
CO_Durron says:
::mutes the comm for most of the EO's comment, keeping his face impasive, he nods and opens the comm again::
Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The door to the crewmans quarters opens... and she is there.  Knife in hand she lunges at the XO.
XO_Vernius says:
::aims for a disabling shot to the legs and fires twice::
CTO_Wolf says:
::fires phaser at crewman::
XO_Vernius says:
::the sharp reports rebound down the corridor coupled with the sickening sound of bullets hitting flesh::
CO_Durron says:
COM: La'Hore: Gul Goo'done, this is your last warning.
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: Check her. ::moves into the room and looks for Chitwa:: CNS: Chitwa? Are you there?
CTO_Wolf says:
XO: Aye sir ::checks the downed crewman::
CO_Durron says:
::waits::
Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The Cardassian warship doesn't answer the hail, but she pulls up just a few Km's shy of the DMZ and sits, waiting....
CO_Durron says:
::spots a flashing light on the sensor readings and cuts the comm bringing up the sensor readings showing 'shots fired, crew quarters'::
XO_Vernius says:
*Sickbay*: Medical Emergency, Crew quarters
XO_Vernius says:
::see's Chitwa lying on the floor and kneels beside her, feeling for a pulse, and letting out a breath when he finds one::
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: Stun her.
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: Evans that is
CTO_Wolf says:
::aims and fires and  burst on max stun setting::
XO_Vernius says:
*CO*: I've found the CNS, she's unconscious. Evans is combative and has been wounded.
CO_Durron says:
EO: Firstly, lets try to keep the sensitive information off the open comms.  Secondly what do you mean it ends in the middle of nowhere?
CO_Durron says:
::mentaly kicks himself:: *XO* Good work. Any sign of the FCO?
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: Evans is lucky Chitwa is alive, otherwise she'd have two bullets in her Skull
XO_Vernius says:
*CO*: He's not here. I'm not sure where he is.
CTO_Wolf says:
::grunts achknowledgemenet at the XO::
CO_Durron says:
*XO* Find him.
XO_Vernius says:
*CO*: Aye, sir
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CO: I appologize but it looks that the path does in fact end in the middle of nowhere.  No planet , no asteroid. and not even a station.  It appears that something met it there.  Perhaps a cloaked ship.
CTO_Wolf says:
*Security*: Locate the FCO
CO_Durron says:
EO: Figure out where the ship went than.
CTO_Wolf says:
XO: I have men looking for him sir
