Mission Prologue:  

Last time on the USS Huron …

The Huron crew headed to Cestus III where they assisted with repairs on a freighter whose orbit around the planet was beginning to decay.  Most of the crew on the freighter were tortured and killed.

In the meantime, information from the freighter's logs was sent to the Huron to be reviewed, and it was found that the freighter was attacked by a group of Augments.  One survivor was transported to Cestus III for immediate medical attention.

What were the Augments looking for?  The only clues the Huron crew have are the logs from the freighter, and Doctor Tatum Noi who down on Cestus III and is clinging for life.   Will they be able to even question her considering the condition she is in?  And where does the Huron go from here?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@::Continues working on repairs aboard the freighter.::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::On Bridge, scanning system for any unusual energy readings.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Walking along the corridor.:: FCO: Go and clean yourself up, and make it fast.

Host CO_Q`tor says:
CTO:  Open up the weapons lockers and have your people distribute phasers to the entire crew.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
XO: Thank you, Sir.  ::Goes head long into the turbo lift and to her quarters for a fast shower and shave.::

CMO_Ens_Stradiot says:
::Stands in the Transporter Room waiting for the Medical Officer who should've been there 10 min. ago.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Steps into the Turbolift.::  TL: Bridge.

Host CO_Q`tor says:
CTO:  And I do mean the ENTIRE crew, including medical personnel.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@::Opens up the chamber and removes the burnt crystal.:: Self: You're still beautiful even in this state.  ::Hands it to another engineer.::

MO_Ens_Monique says:
::Goes flying like a bat out of hell into the transporter room and comes to a skidding stop.:: CMO: Sorry, Sir.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Aye Sir, I'll get a ...wait a second.  Picking up something on scanners.  From Gorn space, coming this way.

CMO_Ens_Stradiot says:
MO:  You've been where?

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Angeltra: Get a team on the weapons distribution; then get your eyes back here ASAP.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Steps out of the Turbolift to the bridge and goes to a console.::

MO_Ens_Monique says:
CMO: Sorry, Sir.  I was putting the gear we are going to need into the pack.  ::Points to the back pack.::

Host CO_Q`tor says:
*CEO*:  Get out of there, Commander.  We have company.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO:  I have some information about the attack.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::Files through the shower and does a nice quick shave and goes flying out of her quarters and back to the bridge.::

Transporter Chief says:
CMO/MO:  Whenever you two are ready?

Host CO_Q`tor says:
CTO:  As soon as our people are back from the freighter, go to Red Alert.

MO_Ens_Monique says:
::Steps on the pad.::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO:  We've got about half an hour before it arrives.  I'm going to prepare a probe to try and get a better look.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@::Begins the new crystal installation as the others complete the repairs to the sensor relays.::

CMO_Ens_Stradiot says:
::Steps on the pad grumbling about horrible standards.::

Host CO_Q`tor says:
CTO:  Open a channel.

ACTION:  The Transporter Chief nods to the Chief Medical Officer and Medical Officer and they are transported to the surface on Cestus III.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::Tumbles out of the lift and heads over to the Executive Officer.::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO:  I'll try.  Hard to get an exact fix, and have no identification to call to.

Host CO_Q`tor says: 
XO:  What are we looking at, Commander?

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
XO:  Reporting for duty, Sir.

ACTION:  They are greeted by an unshaven medical doctor.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@*CO*:  Sir, I'm just beginning the installation of the new crystal. Should have it done in twenty minutes or so.

MO_Ens_Monique says:
$::Materializes on the planet.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
FCO: Take your station and prepare.  We have incoming.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
COM: Unidentified Vessel:  Unidentified vessel approaching Cestus III.  This is the USS Huron, identify yourself and state your business.

Host Doctor_Death says:
$CMO:  Hello, Doctor.  Here is the report on Doctor Noi.  ::Hands him a pad with the information on.::

Host CO_Q`tor says:
*CEO*: That's cutting it close, Commander.  Do your best.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
XO: Understood, Sir, but in our findings, the Augments appear to attack at random vessels that are either arriving or departing from Cestus III.  They all have one thing in common though.  They all were delivering medical supplies to Cestus III and then were headed back to SB 71 for restocking and refueling.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@*CO*: Aye, Sir.  I'll move it as we say on Earth. ::Laughs.::

CMO_Ens_Stradiot says:
$::Looks around and reads the pad.::  Medical Doctor: Thank you.  Take us to her, please.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO:  They have cloaking ability, the best of all technology.  They came aboard the freighter in the guise of wanting to help them fix their engines.

ACTION:  The unidentified vessel does not respond to the Chief Tactical Officer.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
XO:  So I figured we should do a different attack reversing our original procedures.  Like go left instead of going right and down instead of going up.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO:  No response.  I'll launch a probe, see if I can either identify them or cause them to come in more cautiously.

Host Doctor_Death says:
$CMO:  Yes, Doctor, although she's been sedated for all of her injuries.  She's not in very good shape.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO:  They boarded with only 8, then it appeared that they fled to Gorn space afterwards.

CMO_Ens_Stradiot says:
$Self:  So I see...

Host Doctor_Death says:
$MO:  She needs better facilities, but we just do not have them here, and we're afraid to move her.

Host CO_Q`tor says:
CTO:  All weapons on standby.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Prepares a Probe and launches it at a trajectory 10 degrees off its line of approach.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
XO: Like I told the Chief Engineering Officer, the first place I would board would be engineering; the heart of the ship.

Host Doctor_Death says:
$CMO/MO:  Lacerations, Abrasions, Fractures and Contusions caused by blunt force trauma.

MO_Ens_Monique says:
$CMO:  Agreed.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO:  Aye Sir, also raising shields away from the planet.  We can still beam in, but should provide cover for those off ship.

CMO_Ens_Stradiot says:
$Medical Doctor:  What have you been using so far?

MO_Ens_Monique says:
$::Runs the tricorder over her quickly.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@::Sends Martin over to begin checking the navigational panel.::  Martin:  See if you can get the display up for any nearby Federation Starbase.  Let me know when it's working.

Host Doctor_Death says:
$CMO/MO:  She was tortured.  She has several puncture and penetration wounds as well.  ::Takes them toward her.::  Dermal Regenerator to heal wounds, meds for the internal bleeding, the works.  My report is attached.

EO Martin says: 
@CEO: On it, Holly, but this thing is a mess.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO:  I recommend abandoning the freighter for now, and go in away form here and meet the vessel.

ACTION:  The probe from the Chief Tactical Officer launches as planned.

MO_Ens_Monique says:
$CMO:  It coincides with what the tricorder is reading.

Host CO_Q`tor says:
::Looks at the chronometer.::  CTO:  I want the freighter team back on board before that ship reaches weapons range.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Brings Phasers on-line and prepares torpedo tube, and activates the shields facing away from the planet.::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO:  Aye Sir, at least 3 minutes before.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@::Hurries as best she can with the crystal installation.::

CMO_Ens_Stradiot says:
$Medical Doctor: Thank you. Now if you wouldn't mind, I have work to do... ::Takes a look at her.:: 
$MO: Alright, let’s get to work.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CO:  Sir, I have a battle strategy ready for you if you would like to see it.

MO_Ens_Monique says:
$CMO:  Understood.

EO Martin says:
@CEO:  Holly, I need a hand here.

Host CO_Q`tor says:
FCO:  Program it into the navigational computer, Lieutenant.

Host Doctor_Death says:
$CMO/MO:  Here she is.  Would you like me to wake her?

Host CO_Q`tor says:
XO:  No information on their type of weapons?

CMO_Ens_Stradiot says:
$Self:  Much of this would be slightly easier if she was in Sickbay... Hmm.. No, don't wake her.  It'll just cause more issues.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Bee*:  I'm going to pull you all back in 12 minutes.  Once back aboard, get your teams prepared for possible boarding parties.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CO: Understood sir.  ::Programs the navigational computer for the Captain to see what she has devised.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@Martin:  Hang in there.  Almost got this in place.  ::Fiddles with the crystal trying to recalibrate it.::

Host Doctor_Death says:
$CMO/MO:  With her injuries, I just don't know what else to do for her.  She kept mumbling something about Eden.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO:  A very advanced combination of Romulan, Cardassian and Federation.

Host Doctor_Death says:
$CMO/MO:  Whatever that is ....

Bee says: 
@*CTO*: Understood, Commander.  We'll be ready.  I'll send Scoo back to start prepping the other teams.

MO_Ens_Monique says:
$CMO:  Look, the puncture wounds are very deep.  That would indicate some type of device that would likely extract DNA.

Host CO_Q`tor says:
FCO:  Open a channel; let me see if I can get their attention.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@Martin:  What seems to be the problem?  ::Keeps working.::

Host CO_Q`tor says:
XO:  So they're scavenging.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CO:  Captain, the attacks also occurred when the vessels were between or very near Gorn space and Cestus III making the retreat back to Gorn space easily obtained.

Host Doctor_Death says:
$MO:  I think you're on to something.  Several of the other bodies that were on the freighter looked like they were experimenting with them, some kind of genetic torture I'm guessing, but I can't be certain.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO:  Seems so, Captain.  We must proceed with caution until we can ascertain their power.

CMO_Ens_Stradiot says:
$::Shoots the medical doctor a look.::  MO:  Yes, that would make sense.  Alright, we're going to need to close these wounds first.  Let’s just take this one step at a time.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CO:  Opening channel now, Sir.  ::Opens the channel.::

Host Doctor_Death says:
$CMO:  I did the best I could with the resources I had available.  Medically speaking .. she should not even be alive.

Host CO_Q`tor says:
FCO:  Understood...

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CO:  Channel is open, Sir.

Host Doctor_Death says:
$CMO:  There is one small ::hesitates:: thing I did notice.

MO_Ens_Monique says:
$CMO: Yes, Sir?  What was that?

CMO_Ens_Stradiot says:
$Medical Doctor:  What is it?

EO Martin says:
@CEO: I can't seem to bring up the star charts for this sector. There's been damage to the records as though someone deliberately messed them up.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Compares the data from the probe with that from the Huron's sensors.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CMO*:  As soon as you can give us any information that would be helpful, relay them at once; and be prepared.  We have an incoming vessel.  We will not be able to bring you back if it proves dangerous.

Host CO_Q`tor says:
COM: UNKNOWN SHIP:  Unknown vessel, this is Captain Q'tor of the Federation Starship Huron.  Identify yourselves or we will assume your intentions are hostile and respond appropriately.

Host Doctor_Death says:
$CMO/MO:  Her blood has something in it.  It's almost like her DNA was rewritten.  But whatever it was, I think it's what kept her alive.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@Martin: Be right there.  Just give me a few more minutes.

CMO_Ens_Stradiot says:
*XO*: Yes, Sir. Understood.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Away Teams*:  Hostile ship still closing, anticipating arrival in 10 minutes.  Will recall all teams in 7 minutes.  Be ready.

MO_Ens_Monique says:
$CMO:  Good thing I brought this.  ::Pulls out a qis from her tunic::  A little gift from a Klingon friend of mine. ::Smiles.::

MO_Ens_Monique says:
$CMO:  We need to work double teaming, Sir.  We have to move in less than 7 minutes.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  How much longer, Commander?  You need to be heading back here fast.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@::Hears Icky's com.::  *CTO*:  Icky, I'm going to need more time.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO:  Hard to get a good reading, but the incoming boggie appears to be the one that boarded the freighter.

CMO_Ens_Stradiot says:
$Medical Doctor:  Rewritten DNA?  Some sort of mutation or something?

MO_Ens_Monique says:
$Dr. Death: You could be quite correct.  I suspect it was a genetic mutation or something on that order.

Host Doctor_Death says:
$CMO:  I'm not sure.  It's hard to tell if this is something "they" did to her, or if it was already in her blood.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*CEO*:  Would love to give it to you, but that freighter isn't worth the risk.

Host CO_Q`tor says:
FCO:  Send a message to Starfleet Command, and inform them of the situation.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@*XO*:  At least another ten minutes, Sir.  Having a problem with the navigation console.

CMO_Ens_Stradiot says:
$MO: The Executive Officer just said that we're staying here.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CO:  Understood, Sir. Priority one, Sir?

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO:  How much longer do we have?

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO:  8 minutes, at current velocity.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::Begins to send the information to Starfleet Headquarters Priority one scrambled.::

CMO_Ens_Stradiot says:
$MO: You think we can transport her directly to sickbay?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@*CTO*: Icky, stretch it out. I can do this.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO:  Let’s forget the freighter and get our people back now.  We don't have the time.

MO_Ens_Monique says:
$CMO: I thought he said we would be pulled out in seven minutes?

Host CO_Q`tor says:
FCO:  HIja'

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CO:  Hlja'

ACTION:  The subspace variances are approaching the Gorn border, and suddenly they disappear.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::Blinks.:: Self: What the hell?

CMO_Ens_Stradiot says:
$MO: Fine, if we're getting pulled out, let’s get her to sickbay on the ship.  We have better resources there.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@::Moves over to help Martin.:: Martin: Have the rest of the team stand by for beam out. I'll work on this for now.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Just lost the blip.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CTO:  Am I losing my mind.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CTO: I just lost them.  You too?

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO: They are cloaked.

Host CO_Q`tor says:
CTO:  Scan for neutrinos.

EO Martin says:
@::Nods to Holly.::  CEO:  Aye, Ma'am.

MO_Ens_Monique says:
$CMO:  Sickbay would be better most definitely.  ::Runs the dermal regenerator over one of the deep lacerations.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO:  What was their speed before they cloaked.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::Attempts to calculate the speed.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@::Pounds on the console.::  Self:  C'mon you bucket of rust, work!

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: A properly operating cloak won't emit neutrinos, and no way we can set up a net with just the one ship.  May have dropped out of Warp, what we were seeing was partly their effect on local subspace.

CMO_Ens_Stradiot says:
$*CO*:  Sir, is it possible to get Dr. Noi to sickbay?  We might get more info that way.

Host Doctor_Death says:
$::Looks astonished.::  CMO:  You want to risk moving her in "this" condition?

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CTO:  What about doing a tachyon sweep with neutrinos combined?  It would show a spatial wave.

Host CO_Q`tor says:
*CMO*:  Have her beamed aboard then.

MO_Ens_Monique says:
$Dr. Death:  If she is to live, yes.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@*Huron*: Huron, I need coordinates for the nearest Federation Starbase sent to me.  I'm going to have to do a manual transfer to the helm.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: I think it's still sitting there, at the border.

CMO_Ens_Stradiot says:
$::Gives a death glare to the Medical Doctor.::  Medical Doctor:  Yes, I am going to risk it. We don't have enough help here and if we don't move her, we can still loose her.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO/FCO:  We can not be sure they dropped out of warp.  They could have increased there speed.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
XO: True but even then there would be a displacement wave of some type.

Host Doctor_Death says:
$CMO:  Understood.  I will leave her in your capable hands then.  But her life is on your hands, not mine.  ::Grumbles a bit, worried about Doctor Noi.::  Make sure your Captain knows she kept talking about Eden.  She kept babbling it the whole time she was awake.  I had to sedate her because it was causing us to lose her from the anxiety.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO:  No, Sir, we can't.  If it's still coming, it could be here in 2 minutes.

CMO_Ens_Stradiot says:
$*Huron*: Huron, Three to transport directly to sickbay.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@*Huron*:  Oh Huron, can I get those coordinates before our guests arrive?

MO_Ens_Monique says:
$::Looks at the Chief Medical Officer.:: CMO: Eden?

Host Doctor_Death says:
$CMO:  Good luck, Doctor.  I hope you're right about this.

Host CO_Q`tor says:
XO:  No, a cloaked vessel at warp speed emits a subspace variance.  The only reason that variance disappeared would be that they have dropped out of warp.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*CEO*:  Establishing link immediately.  ::Downloads Navigational charts.::

ACTION:  The Chief Medical Officer/Medical Officer and Doctor Noi are beamed directly to Huron Sickbay.

MO_Ens_Monique says:
::Materializes in sickbay.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO:  I understand, Captain.  I just don't want us caught unprepared and by surprise.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@*CTO*: About time. Everyone there taking a group coffee break or something?

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Permission to fire Phasers at around 2%?  Just strong enough to show up an invisible ship?

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
Self:  Not if I have anything to say about it.

CMO_Ens_Stradiot says:
MO/Medics:  Alright, get her on a bed, start running the scans. I need a scan on her DNA also.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*CEO*: Not quite, trying to locate a needle in a glacier.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@::Sees the data coming in and manually inputs it into the helm controls and sets them.::

MO_Ens_Monique says:
CMO:  Understood, Sir.  I will do the DNA scan.

MO_Ens_Monique says:
::Gets the tricorder and begins the scan of the doctor's DNA.::

Host CO_Q`tor says:
XO:  As soon as Commander Sparks and her team are aboard we'll have full shields up.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CO:  Sir, the Medical team is back with the doctor.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@*CTO*:  Ever heard of melting it?  ::Laughs and then completes the input.::

Host CO_Q`tor says:
*CEO*:  Commander, we're in a bit of a hurry here.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Not liking the situation they are in; is getting a little agitated.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@Martin: Martin, give me the readouts on the crystal. It is working?

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
Self:  Was going to say something to the Executive Officer but thinks twice.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Can I try the Phaser umbrella, sir?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@*CO*: Almost there, Sir.  Just another minute.

CMO_Ens_Stradiot says:
Medic:  Start running the Metorapan.  We need to get those fractures healed.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*TR Chief*:  Maintain a lock on the Chief Engineering Officer and her team.  Patch into the comm and as soon as she says she is ready, beam out.

MO_Ens_Monique says:
::Finishes the DNA scan and puts the tricorder down.::

Host Doctor_Tatum_Noi says:
::Tosses lightly on the biobed a bit, her eyes slightly opening, grimacing in pain.  Grabs the doctor by the collar and painfully pulls him toward her.::  CMO:  Pain!  Eden ..  Must get to Eden .. ::Sighs and grimaces again.::

EO Martin says:
@CEO: All systems are nominal, Holly. We're good to go.

Host CO_Q`tor says:
CTO: From the position where they disappeared how long would it take them to reach us at full impulse?

Transporter Chief says:
*XO*:  Aye, Sir.  I have a lock on her now.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@Martin:  Great, now just one more little tweak here.

CMO_Ens_Stradiot says:
::Shakes her off.::  MO:  Get her sedated.

MO_Ens_Monique says:
::Nearly springs over to the doctor to grab him from the doctor's clutches.::

MO_Ens_Monique says:
CMO:  What the hell?  ::Grabs the hypospray of tranquilizer and shoots it home.::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Quite a while, close to a light year away.

MO_Ens_Monique says:
::Turns quickly to the Chief Medical Officer.::  CMO: Sir, you okay?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@::Grabs the remote and walks over to Martin.::  *Huron*:  Sparks here.  We're ready to beam back.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CTO:  Maybe a bit too close for comfort?

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO:  So about 4 years.  They'll need Warp to be any threat.

CMO_Ens_Stradiot says:
::Brings out a machine.::  MO:  I'm fine.  Here, get the Antiproton Radiation Treatment going on her.

MO_Ens_Monique says:
::Nods.::

CMO_Ens_Stradiot says:
Self: If it’s mutated DNA, this'll destroy it.... What is it we're dealing with here...

ACTION:  The Chief Engineering Officer and her team are beamed safely back to the Huron.

MO_Ens_Monique says:
::Begins the Antiproton Radiation Treatment.::

Host CO_Q`tor says:
::Staring at the viewscreen.::  CTO:  What are they up to?

MO_Ens_Monique says:
CMO:  Sir, but what if it is not the DNA, but replicated RNA?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Dumps her gear and hightails it to the bridge.::

Transporter Chief says:
*XO*:  I have the Chief and her crew, Sir.  They are safely onboard.

CMO_Ens_Stradiot says:
MO:  We'll see soon enough.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO:  Uncertain, can't even say for sure where they are.  If they stopped where we lost the signal, we may intimidate them.  Or they want us to follow.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO:  Raise shields.  The Chief Engineering Officer and her team are on board.

Host CO_Q`tor says:
CTO:  Red Alert!  All shields up, all weapons hot!

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Hops into the turbolift and calls for the bridge.::

MO_Ens_Monique says:
CMO:  Well I hope it works, Sir.  I would hate to lose her.  What about this Eden thing?  Know what she means by it?

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO/ XO: Shields on full cover mode, weapons are ready.

Host Doctor_Tatum_Noi says:
CMO/MO:  No!!  Don't sedate me!  I need to tell you about .. ::Goes to sleep.::

Host CO_Q`tor says:
XO:  What sort of ship did the freighter sensors show they were in?

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO:  Would we have any probes ready to fire to set up a cloak detection net?

CMO_Ens_Stradiot says:
MO:  Eden is also a name like, Heaven or such else.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::Brings the battle scenario on to full navigational sensors.::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO:  Not enough to carry it out effectively, especially if we're moving.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Pops out onto the bridge.:: CO: Captain, we're all set. ::Shows him the device.:: This will initiate the freighters’ engines and send her off to the nearest Federation base.

CMO_Ens_Stradiot says:
::Glances to Dr. Noi.::  Self:  Alright, let’s hear what you've got to say, Doctor. ::Walks over and wakes her up.::  Dr. Noi:  Alright, start talking. ::Flicks off the machine.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CTO: Yeah but they attacked in a bunch and when finished they ran back to Gorn space.  They used Gorn space as a hiding ground.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO:  No Sir, nothing specific other then it matches the scans of the other vessels that have been attacked, with a combination of the 3 technology's.

MO_Ens_Monique says:
::Looks at the Chief Medical Officer and then the doctor.::

CNS Talora says: 
::Rushes up to the bridge.:: CO: Sorry for the delay.  Need me for anything?

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CEO:  Glad to have you back, Commander, and none too soon.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: Gorn space is pretty big.  Run a line of Tachyons between us and a probe.  If the ship crosses it cloaked, it's detected.  With our probes, we might cover about 2 light seconds, not even enough to cover one star system.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CTO:  Got it.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
XO: Thank you, Sir.  Glad to be here.

Host CO_Q`tor says:
CEO:  Get her underway then, Commander

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::Begins to configure a tachyon grid between the probe and the ship.::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: They may be arrogant enough to taunt into appearing.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CTO: Hold it.  That is what they would want us to do.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::Walks over to the helm and sets the device down beside the panel.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CO:  I think I got the hang of these Augments.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CO:  They want us to do what we are doing.  However if we do things just the opposite it would take them by surprise.

Host CO_Q`tor says:
FCO:  Then you're already dead, Lieutenant.  Never think you have an unknown enemy figured out.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Aligns the Huron's controls with the device and looks back at the Captain.:: CO: Here we go, Sir. ::Presses the control.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CTO:  What if we did a tachyon grid going the other way as well just to be safe?

Host Doctor_Tatum_Noi says:
::Struggles to speak.  Pulls him closer and whispers.::  CMO:  Section 31 .. ::Breathes hard.::  Genetic experiments .. They want the eggs.  They're on Eden.  ::Takes a deep long breath obviously struggling.::  We were .. experimenting .. ::blinks:: went wrong .. find Eden.  They want Eden .. ::Closes her eyes.::

ACTION:  The Doctor's biosigns begin to fade, and they are losing her.  She loses consciousness.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CO:  Never that, Sir.  It is a second thought to be sure.

CMO_Ens_Stradiot says:
MO:  GET HER BACK, GET HER BACK!

MO_Ens_Monique says:
CMO:  Sir, I am losing her.

ACTION:  The Doctor's biosigns are flat-lined.

ACTION:  The freighter begins to move at Warp 4 toward Starbase 71.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO:  Again, we could only cover a miniscule amount of space.  One ship cannon run an effective Tachyon net.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO:  This waiting is torture. The honorless cowards.

MO_Ens_Monique says:
::Gets the cortical stimulator and puts it on her head and gives her a hard shock.::

CMO_Ens_Stradiot says:
::Throws a blanket over the Doctor.::  Medic:  Run standard autopsies.  I'll be on the Bridge.

Host CO_Q`tor says:
FCO: You say they were attacking freighters that carried medical supplies?

CMO_Ens_Stradiot says:
::Leaves sickbay and heads up to the bridge.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CO: Yes, Sir. They were carrying medical supplies.  If these Augments are of a mutated race they would need medical supplies or something to that extent.

MO_Ens_Monique says:
Out loud: Damn it to hell.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO:  Maybe they are in need of repair, or something of the sort.

Host CO_Q`tor says:
FCO:  Not mutated, Lieutenant.  Genetically augmented.

CNS Talora says:
FCO/CO:  Either or. It doesn't matter what it’s called.

Host CO_Q`tor says:
FCO/XO:  Perhaps there was a flaw in their augmentation.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Picks up the device and throws it to Icky as she walks back to the engineering console.:: CTO: A souvenir for your collection. ::Grins.::

Host CO_Q`tor says:
XO: Find out when the next medical supply freighter is due to arrive.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO: That would explain their reason to attack medical supplies.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CO:  Well genetically altered, Sir, but still they would need medical supplies to continue to augment the already genetically altered people.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Pulls up the supply run list seeing when the next shipment is coming.::

CMO_Ens_Stradiot says:
::Enters the bridge.:: CO: Sorry, Captain. We've lost her.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Catches the device.::  CEO: Thanks, as a piece of art from my favorite being, it gets a place of honor.  ::Smiles.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::Hears her Imzadi's voice but does not turn around and is grateful he is alive and well.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO: 3 days, Captain, if they are traveling less then warp speed it would make sense.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CO: That would be a better idea to wait and see what would happen.

ACTION:  The Chief Medical Officer's comm badge chirps with an alert from sickbay.

Host CO_Q`tor says:
CMO: Lost her?!  ::Feels his blood pressure starting to rise and fights the urge to smack the Chief Medical Officer down.::  Did she say anything?

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: How big a ship is the next freighter?

CMO_Ens_Stradiot says:
CO: Yes she mentioned.... ::notices the chirp.::  Suddenly, I think things just got a lot worse, Sir.  Excuse me. ::Rushes out to sickbay again.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO:  A fairly large vessel, carrying supplies for both Cestus III and Bellatrix

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO/CTO:  Good news though; it is under escort.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CTO: Toss up between Bellatrix and Cestus III?

Host CO_Q`tor says:
::Yells.::  *CMO*:  Get back here!

CMO_Ens_Stradiot says:
*MO*:  Virus Alert.  Seal off all bodies. Get our people away from there.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
XO:  Wouldn't make a difference.  Several teams to engineering, and it is all over.

ACTION: Sickbay begins to be quarantined from the virus alert.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO:  If it was, the attacks would be hitting both worlds.  What's it got going to Cestus?

MO_Ens_Monique says:
ALL:  Bio Hazard Protocols Virus alert.  Quarantine is in effect.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO/FCO/CO:  The attacks have only been around Cestus, none at Bellatrix.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO:  We have a quarantine in sickbay; a virus alert.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Listens to the bridge conversation not really sure what's happening.::

MO_Ens_Monique says:
::Grabs the medics and the doctor and pulls them away quickly and raises the quarantine fields.::

CMO_Ens_Stradiot says:
*CTO*:  I need you to seal off the air ducts.  Virus in Sickbay.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
XO:  Yes, only on Cestus III, but in this case I wouldn't put it past them to do Bellatrix.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
XO:  Given the circumstances.

Host CO_Q`tor says:
*CMO*: So Sickbay is under quarantine and locked down.  In the mean time we have a cloaked hostile ship out there and you may have information that could be crucial in fighting it!

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO:  Can you seal off the vents to Sickbay from here?  I'm sending teams to keep people from wandering in.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
CTO:  On it Icky.  ::Initiates the vent closing protocols.::

ACTION:  The biolabs are sealed, and so are the air ducts.  The Virus is contained.  A scan will need to be done to determine if the virus was airborne.

Host CO_Q`tor says:
::Clearely infuriated.:: CTO: Send a security team for the Doctor.  Get him back here on the double.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Scoo*:  I need teams to seal off Deck 8, Sickbay.  No one comes within 50 meters of Sickbay, and close off the sections of 9 and 10 directly above and below.

MO_Ens_Monique says:
CMO: I am running a scan of the virus to see if it went airborne.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO:  Aye, Captain.

CMO_Ens_Stradiot says:
MO:  Thank you.  Let me know when you're done.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Scoo*:  And get someone to return Doctor Stradiot to the Bridge, Captain's orders.

MO_Ens_Monique says:
CMO:  Yes, Sir.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
CTO:  Forcefields up at Section 4A thought G. Deck 8 secured.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO:  Thanks.

Host CO_Q`tor says:
XO:  Is that freighter underway already?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
CTO:  Icky, Scoo will have to drop the forcefield on deck 8 when he gets there.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO:  Sickbay locked down, physically and by manpower.  Areas directly above and below cleared as well, just to be safe.

MO_Ens_Monique says:
::Continues to process the scans.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO: Yes, Captain, 3 days out.

Host CO_Q`tor says:
XO: Very well.
FCO: Prepare to go to warp.

MO_Ens_Monique says:
Self:  Hurry up please I need the info.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO:  And as I reported before, they are under escort, not coming unprepared.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CO:  Understood, Sir.  Preparing now.

CMO_Ens_Stradiot says:
*CO*:  Ever heard of "Eden", Sir?

ACTION:  Once the scans are completely run, it will be revealed that the virus is not airborne and is contained.
