::Enters the shuttle and makes his way up to the pilot's area, bringing out his tricorder::

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
COM: Ro: We have our shuttle back.  Anything else we can help you with?

Host Capt_Ro says:
@COM: Gryphon: I am presuming you know as little about these beings as I do.

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
::is motionless slump over in the co-pilots seat::

CSO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
CO:  Dr. Turok is with him at shuttle bay.  He'll lead him to sickbay, sir.

CMO_Lt_Turok says:
FCO: Has he been unconscious the entire time?  ::Runs his scans::

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
@COM: Ro: Yes...we have gotten a bit of information, but still much to learn.

MO_LtJG_Krynne says:
*CMO*: I cannot determine exactly what causes the radiation in the Linath warriors. I suspect the flesh absorbs radiation and soaks it up like a sponge. Maybe different types of tissues are more so than others. But after the rest of the staff is done with their samples, perhaps I can test that theory.

FCO_LtCmdr_Adams says:
CMO: No sir, he just passed out as we left the Mutluck.

Host Capt_Ro says:
@COM: Gryphon: The last record of the Wo'taj states it was chasing someone called the Comanii... someone you had met near Federation space.

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
@COM: Ro; Captain, I have some crew matters to attend to...if you will excuse me.

Host Capt_Ro says:
@COM: Gryphon: Thank you for finding our ship... it will not be forgotten. ::Closes comm::

CEO_Lt_On says:
TO: While I was at your quarters the other day, I saw a picture of you I guess when you were at high school and it was written "Mare". So I figured that your friends call you that.

FCO_LtCmdr_Adams says:
::watches the doctor running his scans::

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
*ALL* All senior staff to the conference room.

CSO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::stands and glances at Altsen::

CMO_Lt_Turok says:
::Sees that Krag is in an advanced stage of the bacterial infection, and also has some severe facial injuries.::

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
:: goes to Taylor::  XO: Alright Commander...its your show now.

TO_LtJg_Sachs says:
::Hears the captain com:: CEO: We will talk more about the name later. ::smiles::

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
::heads off to conference room::

CSO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
<SO Altsen>::understands and nods back, keeps all scanners....  scanning::

CSO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::walks towards the conference room::

XO_Cmdr_Taylor says:
CO: Yes... Now let's wait for everyone to get here....

CEO_Lt_On says:
::hears the announcement of his Captain and he starts to walk to the Conference Room as he motion Marshall to go there::

FCO_LtCmdr_Adams says:
CMO: Anything I can do to help?

CSO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::steps into the conference room::

MO_LtJG_Krynne says:
::is confused:: *CMO*: Are you on your way to the briefing room?

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
::sits and waits, knowing what is to come::

CMO_Lt_Turok says:
::Puts the tricorder away and hoists the CTO out of the chair::

CSO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::takes a seat and waits, wondering what is going on::

FCO_LtCmdr_Adams says:
CMO: Be careful doctor!

CMO_Lt_Turok says:
FCO: Get a grav stretcher outside the shuttle.

XO_Cmdr_Taylor says:
::Looks at the room with everyone in it::

FCO_LtCmdr_Adams says:
::reaches back inside the shuttle and searches for the stretcher::

CMO_Lt_Turok says:
::Begins carrying the CTO out of the shuttle::

CSO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
<SO Altsen>  ::scans the area::

MO_LtJG_Krynne says:
::wonders why she doesn't hear a response from the CMO, leaves sickbay::

CMO_Lt_Turok says:
*MO*: I will not be attending, Krag is badly injured.  Please give my regards to the Captain.

FCO_LtCmdr_Adams says:
CMO: Got it. ::pulls it out and places it outside: CMO: There.

MO_LtJG_Krynne says:
::goes down the hall, pushes the button for the lift::

MO_LtJG_Krynne says:
::enters the car:: TL: Briefing room.

MO_LtJG_Krynne says:
*CMO*: Injured? Do you need me?

CMO_Lt_Turok says:
::Lays the CTO on the stretcher, activates it and begins pushing it out of the bay.::

FCO_LtCmdr_Adams says:
CMO: Do you need me? There's a briefing about to start.

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
XO: The floor is yours Commander...

CMO_Lt_Turok says:
FCO: Thank you Commander, I can take it from here.

XO_Cmdr_Taylor says:
CO: Thank you, Captain.

MO_LtJG_Krynne says:
::exits on the appropriate deck, and walks into the briefing room in time to hear the XO start to speak::

TO_LtJg_Sachs says:
::Sits beside ed in the CR::

XO_Cmdr_Taylor says:
ALL: As you might have noticed, I have not been on the Bridge much in the last month... There is a reason for this.

MO_LtJG_Krynne says:
::sits down quietly::

CSO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::looks at Mike, listens to what he has to say::

FCO_LtCmdr_Adams says:
::taps Krag on the shoulder:: CTO: You'll be fine Commander. ::under her breath:: I hope.

XO_Cmdr_Taylor says:
ALL: For the past month, I have been collaborating with Starfleet Intelligence on a case.

FCO_LtCmdr_Adams says:
::rushes to the conference room and enters just as Commander Taylor is speaking::

XO_Cmdr_Taylor says:
ALL: As a few of you must already know, when I was 14 years old, I joined a Betazoid group named "The Minions". I actually was one of the leaders of the group until, one day I decided to leave this group for personal reasons and, from this moment on, I started a career in Starfleet.

CEO_Lt_On says:
::he is listening carefully on what XO Taylor is saying::

XO_Cmdr_Taylor says:
ALL: This therefore makes me one of the only Starfleet people with knowledge of this very group.

XO_Cmdr_Taylor says:
ALL: I have been doing research for them and I've been analyzing Starfleet's intelligence report.

FCO_LtCmdr_Adams says:
::remembers that time and what effect it had on her friend Heather when she found out::

CMO_Lt_Turok says:
::Pushes the stretcher into the TL and rides it toward Sickbay.  Notes that the CTO has a sash and a house symbol.  Nods to himself  "So, he was successful." Addresses the unconscious CTO:: CTO:  Now I must save you so you will have a chance to live an honorable life, and not simply die an honorable death.

XO_Cmdr_Taylor says:
ALL: It appears that, after the destruction of their main base by the Gryphon over a year ago, the Minions have re-established their forces on Betazed.

CSO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::suddenly thinks on Heather::

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
::sill unconscious and about as responsive as a brick...of course some would say that normal::

XO_Cmdr_Taylor says:
ALL: Although their actions have not hit the public eye, there are more and more attacks on many federation establishments.

CMO_Lt_Turok says:
::Enters Sickbay::  ALL: T'Lau!  Welby!  Quincy!  We have an emergency, come here!

XO_Cmdr_Taylor says:
ALL: Moreover, from the intelligence that Starfleet has gathered, I have been able to estimate that the Minion's forces have gown over 600% in the last year. The Minions seem to appeal to Betazoid teenagers (age 12-19) and they seem to be gaining more and more power, not only physically, but empathically as well.

FCO_LtCmdr_Adams says:
::shakes her head and thinks:: Self: Poor Heather.

XO_Cmdr_Taylor says:
ALL: Betazed has asked Starfleet to help destroying the organization that I helped founding in the first place, and to do so, they will need help.

CSO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
XO:  600%???  How's that possible?  We practically got rid of them.

XO_Cmdr_Taylor says:
CSO: Oh, with the Minion's psychological powers, it is quite possible... especially with impressionable teens like I was.

XO_Cmdr_Taylor says:
ALL: They have, therefore, ordered me to take command of the covert unit that is going to get rid of the Minions.

FCO_LtCmdr_Adams says:
::stares at Michael: Self: Take command?

TO_LtJg_Sachs says:
::Looks over at Ed and smile, then goes back to the XO::

XO_Cmdr_Taylor says:
ALL: They have also transferred any people with valuable information or experience about the Minions. They have transferred over 346 people, including myself and Chief Petty Officer Valerie Kint.

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
::looks down knowing he is loosing his XO::

CMO_Lt_Turok says:
::Begins work on Krag, concerned about the advanced state of the bacteria::

CSO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::frowns::

XO_Cmdr_Taylor says:
ALL: It has been an honor to serve with you all during all those years and I will miss the Gryphon terribly.

XO_Cmdr_Taylor says:
ALL: But as hard as leaving my home -- the Gryphon -- is for me, I know that I am needed elsewhere and I know in my heart that you will all support me.

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
XO: Commander, I, for one, must say it has been a honor to have you as XO of the Gryphon.

FCO_LtCmdr_Adams says:
::looks down and wonders what all this means::

CSO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::remains in silence::

XO_Cmdr_Taylor says:
::Smiles:: CO: Thank you, I appreciate that.

XO_Cmdr_Taylor says:
ALL: Some of you might think that this is a great way to preserve the peace in the Federation while others might say that I am heading for a glorious battle :;smiles and bows head a bit:: but know this, this is not farewell, but only ... au revoir.

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
XO: I wish you great success in your new command.

CTO_Cmdr_Krag says:
::begins to come to shouting out in Klingon:: Coward: You shall die!

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
XO: The Gryphon will be there for you if you ever need us.

FCO_LtCmdr_Adams says:
::looks over at the Captain as he wishes Michael good luck::

CMO_Lt_Turok says:
::Feels a quick burst of anger but realizes the CTO is delirious ::

MO_LtJG_Krynne says:
::feels bad that Michael is going, but she did not really know him anyway::

CSO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::stands::  XO:  Mike?..

XO_Cmdr_Taylor says:
::Smiles:: CO: Thank you... again.

XO_Cmdr_Taylor says:
CSO: Saying goodbye to you, Mauro, is very hard... but this is Starfleet and I must go where I am sent.

CSO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::extends his hand::  XO:  I'm glad you got your own command...  but unhappy to see you going away, my friend.

CEO_Lt_On says:
::he is feeling bad about Michael leaving after all he was very support when he was his boss::

FCO_LtCmdr_Adams says:
::stands and moves to the door::

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
All: A dinner party in my quarters at 2000 hours tonight to say farewell.

XO_Cmdr_Taylor says:
ALL: I have written letters for all of you and I will send them to you soon.

XO_Cmdr_Taylor says:
::Smiles::

CSO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::nods and tries to smile::

FCO_LtCmdr_Adams says:
::thinks to herself:: Self: A letter? Why would he send me a letter?

XO_Cmdr_Taylor says:
CSO: So am I, my friend. ::Shakes his hand:: So am I...

CMO_Lt_Turok says:
::  T'Lau calls his attention to the facial damage and the right eye which has been destroyed::

CSO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::remembers all his friends leaving before Mike....  Q'eranna...  Donnie...::

CSO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::and most of all. Heather::

CEO_Lt_On says:
::he stands and tries to reach Michael::

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
::shakes hand::  XO: Good luck and thank you for your service on the Gryphon.

Host CO_Capt_OMallory says:
XO: You shall be missed.

XO_Cmdr_Taylor says:
::Shakes hand:: CO: It has been an honor serving under you for all these years. ::smiles::

XO_Cmdr_Taylor says:
CO; I will miss all of you.

CSO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
::places his hand over the XO's shoulder::

CSO_Cmdr_MacLeod says:
XO:  Good luck, Mike.

FCO_LtCmdr_Adams says:
::watches the tender goodbyes from a distance::

XO_Cmdr_Taylor says:
CSO: Thanks. ::nods and smiles::

MO_LtJG_Krynne says:
XO: Yes. Good luck and congratulations.

XO_Cmdr_Taylor says:
MO: Thank you.

CMO_Lt_Turok says:
::Begins the treatment for the advanced bacterial infection, seeing that a strange mutation has begun in Krag's cells.::
