Host Bob says:
	ACTION: THE CREW OF THE USS GENEVA REMAINS IN ORBIT AROUND ZESTEL IV, INVSTIGATING THE INFESTATION OF THE GRUTHORIAN COLONY THERE. AN AWAY TEAM IN EVA SUITS CONTINUES THEIR SEARCH FOR WHAT THE INFESTATION IS, HOW IT GOT THERE AND WHY IT HAS TAKEN OVER THE 50,000 COLONISTS. THE INFECTED COLONISTS HAVE NO CONTROL OVER WHAT THEIR BODIES DO, BUT CAN STILL THINK INDEPENDANTLY AND TALK TO THOSE AROUND THEM.
Host Bob says:
	ACTION: THE ACTING CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER HAS DISCOVERED WHAT APPEARS TO BE AN INSECT BITE ON ALL OF THE COLONISTS SEEN TO DATE.
CSO_Tunik says:
@ ::raises an eyebrow at Love's findings:: ACMO: You're an amazing woman Ensign. 
ACMO_Love says:
@::examines the skin tissue a second time to be sure that there is something there::
ACMO_Love says:
@::looks at the CSO::CSO: Why thank you sir. I try.
CEO_McDowell says:
% ::drops the shuttle out of low warp, after an arduous 11 hour flight:: COM: Geneva: USS Geneva, this is shuttlecraft Oppenheimer.
CO_Shras says:
:: sitting in his ready room, watching by the window the planet below, drinking an Andorian beverage ::
CTO_Kizlev says:
@::is almost finished with setting up the force field generators with XO Taal as he watches the approaching Millano zombie come closer::
FCO_Mikan says:
::on the bridge at helm::
CNS_Bauer says:
@::On Zestel IV just putting the finishing touches on the module structure for use as a lab and storage::
CSO_Tunik says:
@ ::nods and looks at the work:: ACMO: I am concerned with the cure for this... plague. A biological cure will have little assistance for the psychological damage of this incident.
XO_Taal says:
@::stands back and looks over the force field generators::
CSO_Tunik says:
@ ACMO: We'll have to diagnose anti-depressants as well.
CNS_Bauer says:
@::Goes to find Dr. Love::
John_Marisol says:
@::on the planet, doing zombie things::
CEO_McDowell says:
% ::mumble, rolls eyes... repeats the hail::
ACMO_Love says:
@CSO: The first thing to do is find a treatment then worry about the psychological effects.
CNS_Bauer says:
@ACMO: So how’s the bug bite theory going?
CTO_Kizlev says:
@::keeping a close watch at Millano, but not drawing his weapon this time:: XO: That's the end of that. The generators are ready for action.
ACMO_Love says:
@CNS: Just a theory at this point counselor. ::smiles::
EO_Valentine says:
::tweaking the Warp engines, while Kandeldandel watches::
CNS_Bauer says:
@ACMO/CSO: I think our first priority is to find the cause, then the cure and finally how it all began.
FCO_Mikan says:
COM: Shuttlecraft: Oppenheimer: This is the USS Geneva. Go ahead shuttlecraft.
XO_Taal says:
@CTO: Activate them. I do not want any unnecessary contact with the infected colonists.
CTO_Kizlev says:
@ XO: Aye. ::moves over to the control console on the first generator, links control of the generators and activates them::
CSO_Tunik says:
@ ::looks over analysis of changes to infected dna cells... compared to normal ones::
CNS_Bauer says:
@ACMO: Well the project is in good hands. If you need anything just ask. Excuse me for now, though. ::Exits lab::
CNS_Bauer says:
@::Finds Commander Taal::
CEO_McDowell says:
% ::mutters "finally...":: COM: Geneva: This is Lt. McDowell on final approach. Request permission to dock.
XO_Taal says:
@::sees the Counselor approach::
CSO_Tunik says:
@ CNS: A logical step. Getting an interview from the inhabitants will be difficult in their state, but it seems logical to achieve one instead of focus on speculation.
ACMO_Love says:
@CSO: We still need to find a subject to work on. Agreed?
Zamar_Talc says:
@::is inside the compound collecting tools::
FCO_Mikan says:
COM: Shuttlecraft Oppenheimer: You are cleared for docking bay 1, Lt. Welcome aboard.
CNS_Bauer says:
@XO: Commander, I'd like to go exploring, if it's ok. I'd like to closely check out what our friends have been working on and maybe check out the storage sheds and well, whatever. There has to be answers here.
FCO_Mikan says:
*Shuttlebay1*: Prepare for incoming shuttle.
FCO_Mikan says:
<Shuttlebay1> FCO: Acknowledged. We are ready sir.
CSO_Tunik says:
@ ACMO: Agreed.
ACMO_Love says:
@CSO: What I need are brain scans and samples.
XO_Taal says:
@CNS: Permission granted. Take Lieutenant Kizlev with you as a precaution.
CSO_Tunik says:
@ ACMO: I'll consult the Captain and determine a means of action.
CNS_Bauer says:
@XO: I have been trying to get an impression of any unseen forces at work here. Something must be behind all this.
CNS_Bauer says:
@XO: Excellent.
FCO_Mikan says:
CO: Sir, Lt. McDowell is arriving via shuttle and will be docked presently.
Zamar_Talc says:
@::walks near the XO::
ACMO_Love says:
@CSO: Thank you. ::smiles and goes back to work::
CSO_Tunik says:
@ ::nods and heads towards where the XO and CNS are::
CNS_Bauer says:
@CTO: Mr. Kizlev? You're with me.
CEO_McDowell says:
% ::slows to 1/8 impulse on approach... attempts to smoothly dock, but the rickety half-repaired shuttle doesn't have good stabilizers. Slams abruptly to the deck as power is cut::
Zamar_Talc says:
@XO: I hope you are ready for that experiment. ::feels his body picking up more tools::
CTO_Kizlev says:
@::nods and goes with the counselor::
CSO_Tunik says:
@ ::sees Taal and Bauer:: XO/CNS: Commander... Counselor.
FCO_Mikan says:
<Shuttlebay1> ::reacts to the unorthodox landing and prepares for an emergency if necessary::
CNS_Bauer says:
@CTO: I'd like to start with the work sight. ::Hears Tunik's voice::
XO_Taal says:
@::sees Commander Tunik::
XO_Taal says:
@CSO: Commander.
XO_Taal says:
@*CO*: Commander Taal to Captain Shras.
CEO_McDowell says:
::opens the hatch, walks off... sees the technician non-comms staring, mouth agape:: Techs: Oh don't worry about it... I'll deal with it later. ::walks to a turbolift::
CTO_Kizlev says:
@::waits for Bauer while adjusting his phaser to low kill again, and re-holsters it::
CO_Shras says:
*XO*: Shras here, what have you got commander?
CSO_Tunik says:
@ XO: In order to come up with a provable hypothesis as to what has caused this problem... we need to collect a subject for questioning and testing. However, I do not feel it is safe to go out there... or bring one in here... which leaves me at a stand still.
FCO_Mikan says:
<Shuttlebay1>::nods dumbly at the Lt::  *FCO*: Sir, the shuttle has landed. Lt. McDowell is okay.
CNS_Bauer says:
@CSO: What's wrong with using our volunteer?
FCO_Mikan says:
*Shuttlebay1*: Acknowledged.
FCO_Mikan says:
*CEO*: Lt. McDowell, please report to the bridge.
XO_Taal says:
@*CO*: We have set up force fields around our base camp. It should hold the infected colonists out. Counselor Bauer and Lieutenant Kizlev will also be scouting the colony for any further clues.
CNS_Bauer says:
@CSO: I'm sure you will find someone. CTO: Com' on.
Zamar_Talc says:
::feels his body pile tools::
CNS_Bauer says:
@:Begins heading for the work sight we first saw them at::
CTO_Kizlev says:
@::resumes following the CNS::
FCO_Mikan says:
*CO*: Sir, Lt. McDowell has docked somewhat successfully and is on his way to the bridge.
CEO_McDowell says:
::already in the lift:: Lift: Bridge, please. *FCO*: I'm coming... Keep your belt buckled.
CSO_Tunik says:
@ ::shrugs:: CNS: The safety of this away team is of a great concern to me.
XO_Taal says:
@CSO: Perhaps we can transport a subject directly into restraints. However, it would be extremely dangerous to attempt such a transport.
CO_Shras says:
*XO*: Good. Any new information on what is going on with the inhabitants?
FCO_Mikan says:
*EO*: Mai, looks like your chief is finally here.
CSO_Tunik says:
@ XO: Dangerous for the subject... or us?
CNS_Bauer says:
@CTO: I'm glad you are with me. I believe I saw what they were working on before but, I'd like your opinion.
ACMO_Love says:
@::shakes her head, frustrated with the last attempt at trying to contain the infection::
XO_Taal says:
@*CO*: The Doctor and Commander Tunik are still working on that, Captain.
XO_Taal says:
@CSO: Dangerous for the subject, Commander.
EO_Valentine says:
::looks up:: *FCO*: Mai's boss is back? ::grins and dives into the open JT hatch, Kandeldandel flying after her::
Lokar says:
@::Carries around a jar of bio-memetic gel, not sure why, or even what it is::
CNS_Bauer says:
@::Approaches the work sight and makes observations::
CTO_Kizlev says:
@CNS: My opinion sir? I'm actually at a loss about what has happened here, or how is it that the colonists can shrug off serious injury like it never happened.
CSO_Tunik says:
@ ::thinks:: XO: Considering all our attempts at immobilizing the subjects have failed... I'm more than confident the subject's life won't be in danger. ::pauses:: So we shall... transport the subject into restraints, behind a force field. Thank you Commander.
CEO_McDowell says:
::lift slows to a halt, walks out briskly, stops for a moment to take in the usual layout of the Intrepid class bridge, even though it's his first time on one...::
ACMO_Love says:
@::gets a sudden urge to scratch an itch on her face:: Self: Darn it! This suit is so hard to work in.
John_Marisol says:
@::runs into the force field surrounding the camp and falls down with a grunt:: Self: Oof.
CEO_McDowell says:
::looks around the bridge, doesn't see anyone with enough pips to look like a CO::
FCO_Mikan says:
::sees the CEO arrive on the bridge:: CEO: The Captain is in his ready room. ::motions to the ready room door.::
CNS_Bauer says:
@CTO: Well, what I thought I saw was like a rocket looking thing. You, I'm sure will either confirm or deny my guess.
Zamar_Talc says:
@::feels his body gather pieces of materials::
Lokar says:
@::Place the jar into some kind of doohickey::
CO_Shras says:
*XO*: Good keep me posted on your progress and continue to transmit your data so the teams here can work on it
CEO_McDowell says:
FCO: Ah... Yes. Thank you. ::walks down the stairs, stops at the door to allow it to chime::
EO_Valentine says:
::summersaults out of at JT hatch onto the bridge and runs into the CEO, while the owl lands on his shoulder::
XO_Taal says:
@*CO*: Yes, sir. Taal out.
CSO_Tunik says:
@ ::moves towards medical area of base... back with the ACMO:: ACMO: I am going to isolate transporters on a select subject, transport him/her into restraints and behind a force field, then we can run scans.
CO_Shras says:
:: takes the PADD with the file about his new CEO and reads it ::
FCO_Mikan says:
::shakes his head smiling to himself as he sees the EO collide with the CEO::
CTO_Kizlev says:
@::feels a sickening feeling about how he handled that situation with Millano earlier:: CNS: Sir, when this is over and we've returned to the Geneva, I will need to speak with you about something very serious.
XO_Taal says:
@::follows the CSO::
CNS_Bauer says:
@::Begins poking around the work area::
CTO_Kizlev says:
@::glances around making sure they aren't being approached::
ACMO_Love says:
@CSO: Fine idea. Now find a good subject, a mature adult.
CEO_McDowell says:
::stumbles back to the railing... sees the owl land on his shoulder... turns head and just looks at it. Notices the crashee is wearing another gold uni... narrows eyes to a slit::
Zamar_Talc says:
@::Starts to assemble some kind of rocket assembly::
EO_Valentine says:
::gets to her feet and grins:: CEO: Hi Boss!
Lokar says:
@::The jar empties into the doohickey, then I toss it aside::
CSO_Tunik says:
@ ::looking over sensors, looking at the subjects outside of their Starfleet compound::
EO_Valentine says:
::digs in her pockets and offers him a Twinkie::
CNS_Bauer says:
@CTO: Let's see if we can bring one of these units they are constructing, back to camp. Perhaps Tunik will know what it is.
CNS_Bauer says:
@CTO: Check to see if we can safely bring it with us.
Zamar_Talc says:
@::Starts to assemble the delivery system::
CEO_McDowell says:
::blinks... looks at the odd-shaped yellow snack... narrows eyes to slit again, assuming it's a treat for the huge bird::
CTO_Kizlev says:
@::goes over to one of the units and examines it trying to see any recognizable features::
ACMO_Love says:
@::prepares several hypos and her medical scanner and waits::
CNS_Bauer says:
@::Looks around to see where nearest work shed is. That Torial fellow was most interested in them.
EO_Valentine says:
::tilts her head:: CEO: Is Boss feeling okay?
ACMO_Love says:
@CSO: Any luck in finding a subject?
EO_Valentine says:
::opens the package and eats the Twinkie and motions to Kandeldandel, who flies over to her shoulder and hoots at the CEO::
Torial says:
@::Continues getting tools out  of the work shed nearest to the base camp::
CEO_McDowell says:
::still not making a connection:: EO: You are... ?
CNS_Bauer says:
@CTO: Well, what do you think? Can we move it without blowing up?
Torial says:
@CNS: Attract me to you!
EO_Valentine says:
::salutes:: CEO: Mai is Mai. Uhh... ::stops and thinks:: You are Mai's Boss! ::grins::
Lokar says:
@::Begins inputting something into the device::
CSO_Tunik says:
@ ::isolates an adult male:: ACMO: Just got one. ::locks transporters on Torial... enables the force field... and energizes transporters::
Torial says:
@::Brings the tools to outside of the base camp near the rocket thingy::
Torial says:
@CNS: I am ready do something!
CTO_Kizlev says:
@CNS: I'm not sure, counselor. I haven't seen construction like this before. It's difficult to tell.
ACMO_Love says:
@::grins:: CSO: Ok, I'm ready.
CNS_Bauer says:
@::Throws some nearby tools in front of Torial and more in front of himself::
CEO_McDowell says:
EO: Uh... I suppose I am. You are my new senior assistant, I take it. Pleased to... ::extends hand gingerly, wary of the owl:: Pleased to meet you
Torial says:
@::Walks over and picks up the tools::
EO_Valentine says:
::grins:: CEO: Don't be scared of Kandeldandel, Boss.
EO_Valentine says:
::shakes his hand::
CNS_Bauer says:
@CTO: Hang on. Maybe this guy will tell us something or he may just waste time.
Lokar says:
@::after he is done with the device, he moves off to gather more "stuff"::
CSO_Tunik says:
@ ::transports Torial behind force field::
Host Bob (Transporter.wav)
CTO_Kizlev says:
@::gets up and spins around to see the stranger near the CNS::
CO_Shras says:
:: ears the door bell that was apparently ringing for some time now but he was not aware while reading ::
Torial says:
@::feels himself get beamed into base camp::
CO_Shras says:
Door: Enter!
CNS_Bauer says:
@::Sees Torial disappear::
CNS_Bauer says:
@CTO: Well, heck how'd that happen? I think he might have told us something useful.
CSO_Tunik says:
@ ::looks at Love as Torial materializes::
ACMO_Love says:
@::sees Torial materialize inside the force field and moves closer:: Torial: Hello. I'm Dr. Love. I'm just going to run a few scans ok?
CEO_McDowell says:
::feels awkwardly relieved to hear the CO's summons:: EO: Well, we'll talk later. ::points at the door:: Excuse me.
CTO_Kizlev says:
@::looks confused:: CNS: Why would they.... hmm, maybe they decided on him as their test subject. Most likely he's now at base camp.
EO_Valentine says:
::nods:: CEO: Okay. ::waves at the CO as the door opens::
Torial says:
@ACMO: Please do.
XO_Taal says:
@::watches the selected subject being transported::
XO_Taal says:
@::puts a hand on his phaser in case something goes wrong::
CNS_Bauer says:
@::Checks out the work shed::
CEO_McDowell says:
::walks in... Allowing a slightly-visible sigh of relief to come out... then smells something... looks at his shoulder in disgust::
ACMO_Love says:
@::runs the tricorder up and down Torial several times::
CTO_Kizlev says:
@::turns back to the device he was studying using a tricorder to take some scans of it::
CO_Shras says:
:; look at the engineer walking in ::
Torial says:
@::feels his body move around::
CNS_Bauer says:
@CTO: Who knows? There is a lot of miscommunication down here. Too many chiefs...
CEO_McDowell says:
::extends hand holding orders PADD:: CO: Captain, sir. Lt. Gregory McDowell, reporting for duty.
ACMO_Love says:
@Torial: Can you tell me what is going on inside your body?
CEO_McDowell says:
::as an aside:: CO: Command apologizes for the mix-up in assignments, concerning your short-lived previous CEO.
Torial says:
@ACMO: All I can tell you is that I have no control over it.
EO_Valentine says:
::hops over to the FCO's console:: FCO: Hi big kitty!
FCO_Mikan says:
EO: Hello Mai. What do you think of your new boss?
CO_Shras says:
CEO: Welcome aboard lieutenant, I was just reading your file transmitted by Starfleet
ACMO_Love says:
@Torial: Is it like someone else is in there with you?
Lokar says:
@::Grabs another jar of goop and walks back to the strange device::
CTO_Kizlev says:
@::grumbles:: CNS: Indeed, sir.... blast, not even my tricorder can make out the inner workings of this device. ::turns up the scanning intensity::
CO_Shras says:
CEO: Have you ever served on an Intrepid-class before?
EO_Valentine says:
FCO: Mai likes everybody, Mai thinks. ::reaches up and scratches Kandeldandel under the beak::
CEO_McDowell says:
CO: Yes, sir. As far as I was told, there was a great shuffle of people on the base, and Commander Farris and I got switched around.
Torial says:
@ACMO: Well my body has been building things. Does that count?
CSO_Tunik says:
@ ::returns attention to the blood samples collected, looking for reasonable changes... before applying the infection to human cells::
CNS_Bauer says:
@CTO: Leave it a second. Come here. Look at this.
CEO_McDowell says:
::pauses:: CO: Uh, no sir. Pretty much only on Korolevs, New Orleans, and a Nebula during my cadet senior tour, sir.
CTO_Kizlev says:
@::walks over to Bauer:: CNS: What is it, sir?
CSO_Tunik says:
@ ::after including the infection, he watches closely and logs all that occurs::
CO_Shras says:
CEO: Never quite had the time to know Farris well so I won't say I miss him but I hope you'll stay with us for some time
CNS_Bauer says:
@CTO: Look inside. Tell me what you see.
ACMO_Love says:
@::nods and continues:: Torial: Ok, now I really need to get a close up view of your skin. Could you hold out your arm please so I can examine it?
CO_Shras says:
CEO: Good, then you'll have some challenges in your tour of duty here. You'll find it quite hard to keep the Geneva in working order with everything we make her endure....
CEO_McDowell says:
CO: I hope to, sir. ::looks back at the door for a moment:: Though that's dependent on how batty I'm driven by my assistant and that... ::loses the dry-wit tone:: that... what is it, sir?
Torial says:
@ACMO: Get me a tool to grab. It seems it is what my body wants.
FCO_Mikan says:
EO: Well you had better get back to work. Wouldn't want your boss to get a bad first impression of you. ::grins::
ACMO_Love says:
@::motions to the CSO::CSO: Can you come here please and take a look at this?
Torial says:
@ACMO: Do that and you can dress me up and put me on a stage for all I care.
CTO_Kizlev says:
@::gazes at the object Bauer is directing him to::
EO_Valentine says:
::nods to the FCO and hops towards the open JT hatch::
CSO_Tunik says:
@ ::turns from the species library of Zestel IV, and moves to Love:: ACMO: Sure.
CO_Shras says:
CEO: Well being in a chief position makes you also a manager of human resources, a leader of your team. If you are already a good engineer like your file states you are then you will learn to work with this crew
CNS_Bauer says:
@*XO*: Commander? This is Zach. We just took a look inside a work shed. You should see this.
ACMO_Love says:
@Torial: How long have you felt the need to build things?
CO_Shras says:
CEO: We always have to learn new things to evolve, take it as a new personal mission
XO_Taal says:
@*CNS*: What is your present location, Counselor?
ACMO_Love says:
@::whispers to Tunik:: CSO: Look at the marks.... there and there.. What do you make of them?
CNS_Bauer says:
@*XO*: We are near the colonists work sight.
XO_Taal says:
@*CNS*: Acknowledged.
Lokar says:
@::Place the jar in the device and watches it disappear, then walks over and grabs a toolkit::
CSO_Tunik says:
@ ::looks closely, without putting himself at risk for an attack... then turns to Love:: ACMO: Insect bite.
EO_Valentine says:
::gallops through the JT's::
Torial says:
@ACMO: I do not remember.
CEO_McDowell says:
CO: Yes, sir, that we do. ::keeping a fairly straight face while conjuring up bad memories of a Humanities professor at the Academy who said dreamy philosophical lines like those also::
XO_Taal says:
@::exits the medical lab and heads for the colonists work site::
CTO_Kizlev says:
@::whatever it is, it's enough to raise an eyebrow::
Torial says:
@ACMO: I guess about a month ago.
CNS_Bauer says:
@CTO: Well, we shall get Taal's opinion.
CO_Shras says:
:: Smiles at the face the new CEO make at his comments ::
ACMO_Love says:
@Torial: Were there other "visitors" here about that time?
XO_Taal says:
@::approaches the work site and sees the Counselor and Lieutenant Kizlev::
CNS_Bauer says:
@CTO: Continue with that weapon looking thing. I want to transport it to our camp. We must insure it is safe to do so first.
John_Marisol says:
::In the work site, walks up to the CNS and asks if he has any extra building parts::
ACMO_Love says:
@CSO: Tunik, can you compare the bite marks to the database for the planet?
Lokar says:
@::Walks over to some other kind of device and opens a hatch on it, begins working inside even though he doesn't know what it is or what he is doing::
CSO_Tunik says:
@ ::resets his EVA communicator:: AT: It has come to our attention that the infection is being passed through insect bites. If you come across any suspicious insects what so ever, avoid them. And if at all possible... capture one for study.
CO_Shras says:
CEO: Anyway I think you are eager to take your post, meet your team, visit all the Jefferies tubes and other stuff new CEO's do when they begin so unless you have something else to tell me you are dismissed
CNS_Bauer says:
@XO: Commander. Take a look in here and tell me what you think.
CTO_Kizlev says:
@CNS: Yes, sir. ::goes back to the odd device not even sure if it really is a weapon::
XO_Taal says:
@::looks around::
XO_Taal says:
@::raises an eyebrow::
CEO_McDowell says:
CO: Thank you, sir. ::proceeds to excuse himself through the Bridge door::
CNS_Bauer says:
@XO: Well?
CSO_Tunik says:
@ ACMO: Right away.
XO_Taal says:
@CNS: Fascinating. It appears to be the Command Centre.
Torial says:
@ACMO: Not that I know of.
CSO_Tunik says:
@ ::has his tricorder scan the bite mark... then hurries to the console for study::
John_Marisol says:
::turns and walks away when the CNS doesn't answer, walks back to what he was building and continues to do so::
CEO_McDowell says:
::waits for the door to close, mentally thanks himself that the Captain must not have had enough time reading through his file to mention his uncle::
CNS_Bauer says:
@XO: Yes, it does. So, we need to find who is in command of the command center.
EO_Valentine says:
::hops out of the JT hatch in ME and climbs into her chair, continuing her work::
XO_Taal says:
@::enters the building::
XO_Taal says:
@::takes out his tricorder and begins scans::
ACMO_Love says:
@Torial: Ok, let's try this. Any unusual insects suddenly appear about that time, small in size like the Earth mosquito?
CNS_Bauer says:
@::Follows the XO;;
CTO_Kizlev says:
@::resumes his own tricorder scan of the weapon-like object::
CSO_Tunik says:
@ ::has the bite mark running through the Zestel IV species library... finds nothing... widens the search to insect bites of other worlds::
Torial says:
@ACMO: I can't remember, maybe.
CNS_Bauer says:
@XO: It's much bigger in here, isn't it?
XO_Taal says:
@CNS: Yes, it would appear so. ::points to a terminal::
XO_Taal says:
@CNS: I believe you can access the colonist’s logs from that terminal.
CNS_Bauer says:
@XO: I keep trying to sense another presence here, but so far... no luck.
XO_Taal says:
@CTO: Check the security logs, perhaps there may be some clues as to what happened to the colony.
CEO_McDowell says:
::goes to what he remembers on the diagrams as the Engineering Bridge console... sits down at it and looks around, taking in the surroundings. These Bridges, like everything else on a starship, always look much smaller than in the diagrams::
ACMO_Love says:
@CSO: I need him outside that force field Tunik. Think if we stun him lightly he would be alright?
CNS_Bauer says:
@::Begins tapping away at the console for colonists’ logs and security logs::
Lokar says:
@::Continues working, still wondering what he's doing::
CTO_Kizlev says:
@::moves over to one of the command consoles and begins running a battery of searches for relevant security logs::
CSO_Tunik says:
@ ::looks at Love with intrigue:: ACMO: It seems highly unlikely. I regrettably had to shoot one on kill. I shot him, at point blank range, at his temporal region... and he's still walking around out there.
EO_Valentine says:
::sings to herself as she runs diagnostics::
XO_Taal says:
@::sees a door at the back of the Command Centre::
Torial says:
@::moves some more::
CSO_Tunik says:
@ ACMO: However, I can widen the force field to isolate this medical area. Therefore, he won't be able to escape this lab.
XO_Taal says:
@::attempts to scan past the door but finds that all scans are being blocked.::
CNS_Bauer says:
@XO: I am in. Give me a second and we might just get a clue.
XO_Taal says:
@::tries to open the door but finds it sealed::
ACMO_Love says:
@::nods:: CSO: Ah yes. Excellent plan. Go ahead.
CEO_McDowell says:
::zones out for a moment... then turns back to the console:: *EO*: ... ::doesn't think he caught "Mai’s last name:: Lieutenant, please have about three techs report to Shuttlebay 1. I came in on a shuttle that was hastily pulled out of the repair yard. It needs... ::dry wit:: A little bit of work.
XO_Taal says:
@::turns back to the Counselor::
CTO_Kizlev says:
@Aloud: Maybe if I narrow the search a bit..... ::continues the file search::
CSO_Tunik says:
@ ::nods to Love, hopes this isn't the last time he does this... shuts down the previous force field, and activates a level 10 force field around medical lab::
EO_Valentine says:
*CEO*: Gotcha Boss, No problem! ::thinks:: Boss did not hit SIMBA did he?
XO_Taal says:
@CNS: That door is sealed; can you sense any thing behind that door?
CTO_Kizlev says:
@Self: This looks promising. ::begins silently reading an interesting and possibly relevant log::
ACMO_Love says:
@::stands by with her tricorder and sample kit::
Torial says:
@::moves toward a tool he can now reach::
CNS_Bauer says:
@XO: Sorry, Sir. I am having difficulties with the consoles B.O.B. relay converters.
CEO_McDowell says:
::blinks for a moment... shakes head... will have to try and get "Boss" to change to "Sir" eventually... and hopes that monstrosity of a bird isn't in Engineering when he gets down there later::
CNS_Bauer says:
@XO: No I can't sense anything.
Lokar says:
@::Busts his knuckles while working and thinks that it should have hurt::
XO_Taal says:
@CNS: That is unfortunate. ::raises a phaser and changes the setting to cut through metal::
XO_Taal says:
@::fires at the doorframe::
CTO_Kizlev says:
@::is distracted by the XO and CNS's phaser fire::
XO_Taal says:
@::opens the door to find a weapons locker::
EO_Valentine says:
::looks up at Kandeldandel perched on a high bulkhead and grins:: Kandeldandel: What do you think of Boss? ::the owl hoots and nods her head::
XO_Taal says:
@CNS: Any hypotheses as to why this weapons locker was sealed?
ACMO_Love says:
@Torial: I need a small sample of your brain tissue. May I use this device to obtain it?
Torial says:
@ACMO: What’s happening?
CNS_Bauer says:
@XO: To keep the colonists out?
Torial says:
@ACMO: If I do not get affected. But I can't count for my body.
XO_Taal says:
@CNS: That was my conclusion. ::picks up a weapon::
CSO_Tunik says:
@ ::looks at Torial and Love, adjusts the setting on his phaser... just in case... before turning his attention back to his findings::
XO_Taal says:
@CTO: Lieutenant! ::tosses the weapon to Kizlev:: What is your analysis of this weapon?
CEO_McDowell says:
::taps away at the Bridge Engineering console, glazing over ships' records, maintenance histories, diagnostics and efficiency reports, etc::
Torial says:
@ACMO: Make it happen.
CNS_Bauer says:
@XO: The infestation started about a month ago. It spread quickly. They had no warning or defense for it.
CEO_McDowell says:
::deliberately trying to avoid Engineering for the time being... Has a bad feeling his assistant is going to be a "problem case" for both of them::
Lokar says:
@::Notices that his finger is now bent at an odd angle and swelling, but still feels no pain::
ACMO_Love says:
@Torial: I think I may have a theory here.... ::turns to Tunik:: CSO: Look at this brain pattern. It appears to be two separate beings in there. I think the insect that bit these people injected some mind control element into them and that's what's making them act so irrationally.
EO_Valentine says:
::grins at Kandeldandel and pulls out her e-chess board and starts playing::
Torial says:
@ACMO: Well do your best with it.
CNS_Bauer says:
@XO: So what happened here a month ago?  ::Keeps searching logs::
XO_Taal says:
@CNS: Perhaps this was planned ahead of time. Sealing the lockers would have prevented the colonists from defending themselves.
EO_Valentine says:
::receives a message on her console and reads it quickly:: *CEO*: Boss! Shuttle is fine and dandy now!.
EO_Valentine says:
::continues playing::
CO_Shras says:
:: walks out of the ready room to his command chair, taking a look at who's on the bridge ::
CTO_Kizlev says:
@::catches the tossed weapon with ease and glances at it:: XO: Could be a poor replica of a Romulan disruptor weapon. ::studies it some more::
ACMO_Love says:
@CSO: If that is the case, then someone or something is forcing these people to build whatever they require and the colonists have no control over their actions.
CO_Shras says:
FCO: Do we have some news from the team?
CNS_Bauer says:
@XO: Ok, so who was here a month ago? Who sealed up the weapons locker? Why were these colonists here in the first place?
XO_Taal says:
@::scans another weapon with a tricorder::
FCO_Mikan says:
CO: No sir. No updates since last report in.
Torial says:
@::picks up a tool next to the XO::
CNS_Bauer says:
@XO: I am finding no answers in these logs. I'm wondering if they have been tampered with.
ACMO_Love says:
@CSO: The insects could have been introduced by air from the lower atmosphere and no one here would even notice just another insect.
XO_Taal says:
@CNS: Perhaps these weapons weren't sealed to prevent the colonists from defending themselves...
CSO_Tunik says:
@ ::moves over and looks over the brain pattern:: ACMO: Interesting. ::thinks:: If we can isolate a way of shutting down the secondary... we could definitely work with whatever medical doctors exist on this planet. They were probably working on this before we arrived.
XO_Taal says:
@CNS: It might be possible that the weapons were sealed to prevent the colonists from helping themselves from fighting an infection.
CSO_Tunik says:
@ ACMO: It isn't in Zestel database. I'm willing to agree with your theory... this is not indigenous to the planet.
CNS_Bauer says:
@::Notices Torial near the Commander:: XO: What's he doing? I thought they had them confined at the camp?
ACMO_Love says:
@CSO: Those records could be very helpful.
CEO_McDowell says:
::suspicious... that shuttle was in ruins and barely flew:: *EO*: I'll inspect it later.
CTO_Kizlev says:
@XO: The design seems rather crude with these weapons. Certainly not up to Starfleet standards in my opinion, but I could be wrong.
XO_Taal says:
@::turns around and sees Torial::
CSO_Tunik says:
@ ACMO: Is it also possible that we could... neutralize the mind control? Neural inhibitor... anti-psychotic?
CNS_Bauer says:
@XO: That is a possibility. Who is the enemy?
EO_Valentine says:
*CEO*: Alright Boss!
Torial says:
@::picks up some more tools::
ACMO_Love says:
@CSO: I’m hoping so.. but......
Torial says:
@::starts to try and build something::
