<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>
XO_Vernius says:
::sitting on the bridge, waiting for... something::
CTO_Wolf says:
XO: Ready to beam debri aboard to shuttle bay 2 sir
CO_Durron says:
::nods to the XO::
FCO_Kami says:
::Checking the Europa's orbit, looking into the planet Serenity.::
XO_Vernius says:
::returns the nod::
CTO_Wolf says:
XO: Transport complete and containment feilds established sir
CTO_Wolf says:
Self: Intriguing ::raises eybrow::
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: Very good, Mr. Wolf. Begin data analysis.
CTO_Wolf says:
XO:Aye sir
CTO_Wolf says:
CO: Sir i think you should see this ::forwards data to captains console::
CO_Durron says:
::nods and brings up the data:: CTO: Curious.  Explinations?
XO_Vernius says:
::brings up the data on his display::
CO_Durron says:
FCO: Why would you attack someone at this location, what advantage dose it have?
CTO_Wolf says:
CO: The preliminary eveidence suggests that something literally ripped the freighter apart
CTO_Wolf says:
CO: no weapons signatures, no sign of a catastrophic systems failure
XO_Vernius says:
CO: Curiouser and curiouser
CTO_Wolf says:
CO: indeed
CTO_Wolf says:
::continues analaysis::
FCO_Kami says:
CO: I don't see any advantage, sir.
CO_Durron says:
FCO: Extrapolate a course from the LP and try to figure out where they were heading.
FCO_Kami says:
CO: Aye, sir.
FCO_Kami says:
::Begins to extrapolate a course.::
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: make sure you run an analysis for any biological material in the debris, especially virulent biological material.
FCO_Kami says:
CO: Sir, according to their flight plan, they were on a direct course to a Cardassian colony.
CTO_Wolf says:
XO:Aye sir
CO_Durron says:
XO: Figure out the cause of destruction.
XO_Vernius says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::Moves to the console beside the CTO and starts to work::
CTO_Wolf says:
::makes room for XO::
CO_Durron says:
FCO: Access that flight plan and see where they came from.
FCO_Kami says:
CO: Aye, sir.
XO_Vernius says:
Self: Hmm...
CTO_Wolf says:
::scans debri for DNA and virus traces::
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: Include the multispectral sensors ::begins typing furiously::
CTO_Wolf says:
XO: Doesnt make sense does it sir
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: Not yet, but it will.
CTO_Wolf says:
:: does multispectral scan::
XO_Vernius says:
::runs a scan for any active chemical or mechanical agents in the debris.::
CTO_Wolf says:
XO: I`m looking for DNA traces, maybe if we find some we can cross reference it with the Federation database and get a face to this riddle
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: Good, forward any DNA traces to the science department
CTO_Wolf says:
::nods::
CTO_Wolf says:
Self: Gotcha
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: Now this is interesting....
CTO_Wolf says:
::forwards DNA and virus reults to science officer::
CTO_Wolf says:
XO: That it is sir, why would Cardassians be transporting a metagenice virus designed to kill Cardassians, ive forwarded the DNA resukts to the science officer
XO_Vernius says:
CO: Sir, we've found something interesting. ::forwards the data to the CO::
CTO_Wolf says:
XO: seems to be a good ole frame up job
CO_Durron says:
::brings up the data than frowns:: XO: No human DNA?
XO_Vernius says:
CO: Not that we've found.
CTO_Wolf says:
CO: Negative skipper
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: Don't make any assumptions at this point.
CO_Durron says:
FCO: What is the status of the La'hore?
CTO_Wolf says:
XO: It just doesnt make sense, unless they didnt know what they were carrying
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: Just keep thinking about it, Lieutenant
CTO_Wolf says:
XO: do we have there cargo manifest?
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: There has to be a reason for everything
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: Check the data the Cardassian's sent us.
CTO_Wolf says:
::checks for cargo manifest::
XO_Vernius says:
::begins to take a look at the DNA structure of the biological material recovered::
CTO_Wolf says:
::looks carefully over the manifest::
FCO_Kami says:
CO: The La'hore is scanning the debris field, sir.
CTO_Wolf says:
XO:You thinking that the crew werent really cardassian?
CO_Durron says:
FCO: Any other contacts?
FCO_Kami says:
CO: No, sir.
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: I would say they probably were Cardassians... whether they knew about the virus or not... that's another question.
XO_Vernius says:
CO: Sir, it may be time to see what the La'Hore has found so far.
CO_Durron says:
FCO: Hail them.
CTO_Wolf says:
::fingers run down the list:: Self: Hmmm
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: What else is on that cargo manifest?
FCO_Kami says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::Hails the La'hore, wondering what is going on.::
FCO_Kami says:
CO: Channel open.
CO_Durron says:
::folds his arms and waits for the La'hore's CO to respond::
Host Cardi_CO says:
@COM: Europa: CO: Have you found anything of interest Captain?
CTO_Wolf says:
XO:Nothing out of the ordinary that you wouldnt expect to see on a resupply run
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: I see... continue the data analysis.
CO_Durron says:
COM: La'hore: Cardi_CO: I'm afraid so.  Have you?
CTO_Wolf says:
::rubs temples ::
CTO_Wolf says:
::continues data analysis::
Host Cardi_CO says:
@COM: Europa: CO: We're having trouble finding out what destroyed the ship, it's quite unusual.  Currently we are trying to reconstruct their sensor logs, which should tell us something.  What have you found?
CTO_Wolf says:
::looks up at the main viewer::
FCO_Kami says:
::Watches the conversation between the two CO's.::
CO_Durron says:
COM: La'hore: Cardi_CO: The debris field contains no human bilogical material.  It dose however contain Cardassian remains, and the virus.
CTO_Wolf says:
::watches the exchange intently::
XO_Vernius says:
::whispers:: CO: Don't forget to ask about the black box data
Host Cardi_CO says:
@COM: Europa: CO: Which Is why I've not beamned any of the debris aboard.  I will get back with you when we have some more information.
CO_Durron says:
@COM: La'hore: Cardi_CO: Could you forward us some of the black box data, and we might be able to anylise it faster.
Host Cardi_CO says:
@COM: Europa: CO: Not until it's been analysed.  I give you credit for trying Captain, but what would you do if you were me?
CTO_Wolf says:
::gives XO frustrated look::
XO_Vernius says:
::keeps a calm poker face::
CO_Durron says:
@COM: La'hore: Cardi_CO: Try and get what clues we can from the diversion and press on.
CTO_Wolf says:
::returns to console::
XO_Vernius says:
::shakes his head in a negative gesture to the CTO::
CTO_Wolf says:
::returns gaze to main viewer::
CTO_Wolf says:
Self: Ach mein gott
CTO_Wolf says:
XO:  It`s a diversion sir
XO_Vernius says:
::Looks warningly at the CTO and nods at the open comm channel::
CTO_Wolf says:
::shuts mouth::
CTO_Wolf says:
::looks down with disgust::
Host Cardi_CO says:
@COM: Europa: CO: I will release what information I can from the black box, after it has been reviewed and any classified information removed... Lahore out.
CO_Durron says:
::signals for the FCO to cut the comm::
CO_Durron says:
XO: Examine the local for other ion trails.  Figure out who or what dumped this debris here.
FCO_Kami says:
::Cuts the comm channel.::
CTO_Wolf says:
::begins to scan for ion trails::
XO_Vernius says:
CO: Aye, sir
CTO_Wolf says:
CO: I`m sorry sir i should have seen this for what it was before
XO_Vernius says:
::runs a scan for Ion Trails::
CO_Durron says:
FCO: Move to a location so as what debris remains is between the Europa and the La'hore.
FCO_Kami says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::Plots a course and executes it to move the ship to the opposite side of the debris field.::
XO_Vernius says:
CO: Whoever it was, was careful to cover their tracks
CTO_Wolf says:
::points subspace disturbances out to XO::
CO_Durron says:
XO: Lets try more with the answers and less with the questions.
XO_Vernius says:
CO: No Ion trails, and only a slight subspace disturbance. My guess is that they didn't engage an impulse drive and only used their warp drive.
CTO_Wolf says:
::begins to estimate bearing::
XO_Vernius says:
CO: The disturbance is within Transporter range of the debris field
CTO_Wolf says:
CO: Captain the disturbances are localized about 20,000 kms from the debri
CO_Durron says:
CTO/XO: Figure out what kind of disturbance it is.
CTO_Wolf says:
::nods::
XO_Vernius says:
CO: It's a warp trace, sir. As I said earlier.
CO_Durron says:
FCO: Have the debris we've beamed aboard scanned, beam it back out into space, and launch a marker beacon.
FCO_Kami says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::Begins scanning the debris.::
FCO_Kami says:
::Begins beaming the debris back into space and launches a marker beacon.::
CO_Durron says:
XO: Is there a type of radiation  we can bombard the disturbance with to give us the course?
XO_Vernius says:
CO: I doubt we can get a course bearing, they were careful, sir. There just isn't much there.
CTO_Wolf says:
Self: they knew what they were doing
XO_Vernius says:
CO/CTO: The question is where will the Cardassians jump next? and we still need to see this Serenity
CO_Durron says:
::looks at the sensor data:: XO: They have alredy made one mistake, but right now we can't leave our escort.
XO_Vernius says:
CO: True, I agree with playing dumb for the time being.
CO_Durron says:
ALL: We will wait for the black box data.  I know everyone is tired, I suggest that while we wait senior staff rotate through short breaks.  XO: While we have the time have Beta shift brought to stations.
