Host SM_Darlene says:
Prelude: Last time on ACTD Kootenai Station…

While securing the area surrounding the chapel, the explosives team arrived and entered the chapel.  Moments later one of the explosive team members ran out of the chapel and screamed for everyone to get down.  A second explosion, not as large as the first, occurred killing everyone inside the chapel.

All off duty personnel have been recalled to active status and helped to move the injured to cargo bay four and the Infirmary including the one surviving explosive team member.

The station is on lockdown status and Level 10 of Module 34A has been cleared of injured and dead bodies and the investigation is beginning.

Time lapse: 35 minutes.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
<Folken> CTO: Uh…. I don't know what you're talking about. ::Smiles::

Host CO_Kerst says:
*OPS*: Get with science and get me an ID on the explosives used.  Then have engineering start sweeping the station for any other surprises.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The bar is empty save for the bartender/owner.  Everyone has been evacuated off of Level 10 except the vendors.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Puts her paws on the bar in front of him:: Folken: I know all about yourrr weapons storrre out back so you tell me what I want to know orrr I will have this place so crrrrawling with securrrrity that you can't even burrp without me knowing about it.

OPS_Spicer says:
::Heads to Science Lab 1 with the remnants of the explosives to derive any information from it::

FCO_Marek says:
Co: Sir, concerning your request, I have just finish the list of the last 12 hours of departures. ::Points to his console:: 42 vessels; 32 Federation freighters, 10 Vulcan shuttles and 2 Kezlarite class 2 cargo ships.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Sighs to himself and tries to work as fast as possible::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
Folken: Old news.  Did you hearrr wherrre they werrre staying orrr wherrre theirr ship is docked?

FCO_Marek says:
CO: I'm now plotting the course for those 2 ships.  ::Taps on his secondary console::

Host CO_Kerst says:
FCO: Contact the Seahawk, have them spare as many medical personnel as they can to supplement our own.

FCO_Marek says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

OPS_Spicer says:
SO: I need a complete analysis of the explosives used. I want to know what it is and where it is likely that the materials were acquired. In addition, see if the LCARS has any info on known terrorists that use that type of explosive.

Host CO_Kerst says:
FCO: How long ago did those two freighters leave?

OPS_Spicer says:
<SO> OPS: Yes, Sir.

OPS_Spicer says:
::Heads to engineering::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
<Folken> CTO: Umm.....Docking port 7B. ::Manages a smile::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:

CO: The first left the station two hours and 45 minutes before the explosion and the second one, 34 minutes after.  Aboard those vessels were only crewmembers with no declared passengers.

OPS_Spicer says:
*EO*: I'm on my way to Main Engineering, I need a team to sweep the remainder of Level 10 and then the rest of the station for any other surprises that might me waiting.  After Level 10 move to the most critical areas of the station.

OPS_Spicer says:
<EO> *OPS*: Aye, Sir, I will get my teams on it right away.

Host CO_Kerst says:
FCO: What was their stated course and destination and are they sticking to it?

FCO_Marek says:
COM: Seahawk Sickbay: This is Kootenai Station. We request your help. Please send your medical staff to Cargo Bay to assist our CMO.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Grumbles and walks out:: *TO*: Bailey, rrun a full investigation on Folken's barrr but wait a week beforre you starrrt.  I want to watch him squirrrm.  ::Walks quickly to the docking ports:: *Security Teams 1&2*: Meet me at docking porrrrt 7B.

Host Seahawk_Sickbay says:
*Kootenai FCO*: Acknowledged.  Medical teams have been dispatched as per Admiral Mitchell's orders, Sir.  We have only one medical staff present onboard the Seahawk.  In addition all Seahawk personnel except a skeleton crew are aboard the station.

Host CO_Kerst says:
*CMO*: I'll have personnel from the Seahawk brought over to help out.

<EO> OPS: All systems are optimal. We have 9 teams scanning the station for any other traps.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Everyone aboard the ship docked at docking port 7B come rushing out of the airlock with their hands in the air.

OPS_Spicer says:
EO: Excellent, keep me or the CO informed.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Grumbles:: Woman: Arrre therrre any Kezlarrrites on the ship?

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
<Woman> CTO: None that I know of!  We're just trying to get home from a shopping trip and some idiot told us we couldn't leave then you come out here waving that phaser around like you own the place!

FCO_Marek says:
CO: The first ship, the Mak'ou, engaged course for the Kezlarite homeworld.. its cargo was medical supplies. And, yes, it has stuck to its destination. The second ship, the Kitr'ae, informed that its destination was a Kezlarite colony. Its cargo... ::Reads on his console:: agricultural equipment and it was supposed to arrived there 25 minutes ago and it hasn't arrived yet.

OPS_Spicer says:
::Leaves Main Engineering and heads to Operations:: *CO*:, Sir, I've got the science team working on the remains of the bomb. They estimate 2 hours before they can give a complete report. 20 minutes for a preliminary one. Engineering has 9 teams scanning for any other "surprises" that may be in store. I'm on my way back to Operations.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
Woman: Would you mind if I searched the ship?

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Finishes up the last burn patient and walks to the CMO:: CMO: The last of the burn patients have been treated.  Shall we get started on trying to identify the body parts?  ::Nods to the rear of the cargo bay::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
<Woman> ::Puts her hands on her hips:: CTO: Of course I mind!

Host CO_Kerst says:
FCO: Hasn't arrived yet? Hmm, Are there any Star Fleet ship in that area?

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Rubs her sore cheek and looks to the two arriving security teams:: Sec teams: Just scan it forrr now. The station is still in lockdown so they can't go anywherre.  ::Looks to the woman with a grin and heads back to the Promenade::

FCO_Marek says:
CO: Let me see...the USS Hercule is the nearest Starfleet ship in the area. Should I contact them? ::Raises an eyebrow::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Nods:: Mitchell: I guess we should.

Host CO_Kerst says:
FCO: Yes, hail them. A Kezlarite ship is apparently over due, we should do all we can to help find it.

FCO_Marek says:
CO: Immediately, Sir. ::Turns to his console::

OPS_Spicer says:
::Enters Operations and reports to the Operations console::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Returns to the Promenade and checks on the security teams progress::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Turns and walks to the rear of the cargo bay and begins sorting out the bags of body parts::

Host CO_Kerst says:
OPS: How bad is it down there?

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Unzips a bag and empties the contents onto a tray then grabs a pair of gloves and a large set of tongs::

FCO_Marek says:
::Sends a priority COM signal:: COM: USS Hercule: This is Kootenai Station. We need your assistant concerning an apparently over due Kezlarite ship in your area, the Kitr'ae.  This is concerning a Priority One investigation.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
*CO*:, Sirrr...my lead went drrry. ::Growls::

FCO_Marek says:
CO: They are responding, Sir.

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Grips the severed hand with the tongs and turns it over::

Host CO_Kerst says:
OPS: I want all senior staff in the Briefing Room in 15 minutes.  Everyone should be prepared to report on what we know now.

FCO_Marek says:
::Receives the results of the long-range scan and reads it:: Self: As usual, there is nothing to report.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Begins examining the body parts:: Mitchell: Admiral, could I ask you a question?

OPS_Spicer says:
CO: Pretty bad. I haven't seen anything this...::Grimaces:: gory before.

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Picks up a PADD and begins entering the data on the severed hand::  
CMO: Of course, Doctor.  ::Taps the PADD::

OPS_Spicer says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

Host CO_Kerst says:
@<Hercule OPS> COM: Kootenai: We understand, send us the information on the ship and we'll keep our eyes open for it.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Rubs her sore cheek and looks at Spicer::

CMO_Sovok says:
Mitchell: Vulcans, the normal ones…. what does the culture think of someone like me?

OPS_Spicer says:
*Station Wide*: All senior officers are to report to the Briefing Room in 15 minutes for a full status report.

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Looks up from the PADD:: CMO: What do you mean, Doctor?
::Turns her attention back to the PADD and taps in additional notes::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Looks up from his work at the Admiral:: Mitchell: I feel…I feel emotions, I smile, I get excited, happy, things Vulcans don't do.

FCO_Marek says:
COM: USS Hercule: I'm sending you all the information available now. ::Encrypts and sends the information:: Finding that ship is extremely important. We appreciate your cooperation. Marek, out.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Grumbles after hearing the announcement and begins walking to the turbolift:: Self: Geeze I feel woozy... ::Stops at a replicator for a cup of tea then continues to the turbolift::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
CMO: So do I, Doctor, just not quite as much as you.  I try to control it, however that is my choice.  Do you not feel comfortable with your persona?

Host CO_Kerst says:
@<OPS Hercule> COM: Kootenai: Receiving the information. We'll contact you as soon as we know anything.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Sips her tea as she rides the turbolift to station Operations::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Continues through the body parts, slightly disturbed...:: Mitchell: I've pondered many times on attempting to discipline myself but I've never actually done it.  I'm not sure what I want really.

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Puts the PADD on top of the table then brings over a holo-imaging unit to take images of the severed hand.  Adjusts the lens to take close up shots then taps the control pad::

FCO_Marek says:
::Reconfigures the rotating station shield harmonics to change now every 0.05 seconds:: Self: That should be enough for now.

Host CO_Kerst says:
FCO: I'll be in my Ready Room.  Let me know if any thing new comes in. You have Operations.

FCO_Marek says:
CO: Aye, Sir!

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Turns to look at the CMO:: CMO: If you are asking my opinion, Doctor, I believe one must be who they are, not who others expect them to be.  ::Pushes the holo-imaging unit aside, picks up the severed hand with the tongs and stores it in a bio container::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Enters station Operations and drains her cup, setting it down on her console as she heads to the Briefing Room::

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Enters the Ready Room::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Nods:: Mitchell: Thank you, Admiral.

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Nods and opens up another bag, sliding the contents onto a clean tray::

OPS_Spicer says:
::Sees Bao:: CTO: How is it going? ::Walks with her into the Briefing Room::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Continues the disgusting work::

FCO_Marek says:
::Nods to the CTO:: CTO: How is everything going down there? ..

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Takes a seat, rubbing her cheek absentmindedly:: OPS: Been betterrr.

CMO_Sovok says:
Mitchell: I should probably be going to the Briefing Room. Thank you again.

FCO_Marek says:
::Checks long-range scan results once again then heads to Briefing Room::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Nods at the CMO as he leaves.  Continues to examine a piece of someone's foot::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Gets on the turbolift:: Operations.

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Takes a deep calming breath, holds it, smashes his fist on his desk, exhales::

OPS_Spicer says:
::Looks at Bao:: CTO: You run into someone's hand? ::Snickers::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Picks at the foot with tweezers, pulling out small pieces of debris and putting them in small plastic containers::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Narrows her eyes:: OPS: Some people just don't have any rrrespect is all.

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Makes sure his anger his under control before heading to Briefing Room::

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Exits the Ready Room and heads for the Briefing Room::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Pulls the holo-imaging unit over the tray and resets it.  Taps the control pad activating the imager.  Picks up the PADD and enters data on the severed foot::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Gets off the turbolift and enters the Briefing Room::

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Enters the Briefing Room::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Stands:: CO:, Sirrr.

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Catalogs the small containers of the debris collected from the severed foot then places them on a tray::

OPS_Spicer says:
::Standing in Briefing Room waiting for the CO to sit down::

Host CO_Kerst says:
ALL: Okay, people, I don't have to tell you the seriousness of what has happened. But I do want to know what we currently know and were we stand on things.

Host CO_Kerst says:
CMO: I'll start with you, Doctor, report.

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Pushes the holo-imaging unit to the side and grabs the severed foot with the tongs, carefully placing it into a bio container.  Opens up another bag, this one is a bit heavy.  Slides the object out of the bag and raises an eyebrow when she sees it's someone's head with a huge hole on the side of it::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Picks up two sets of tongs, grabs the head and turns it on it's side to examine the hole::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Stands:: All: I haven't had time to make a manifest of the injured and the dead.  I treated as many people as I could on the scene and treated the injured in Cargo Bay 4.  Admiral Mitchell is currently there identifying the... body parts while a medical team assists the injured to make sure they stay stable.

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
Self: Hmm....this is interesting...::Looks closely at the edges of the hole then grabs the PADD and begins making notes::

CMO_Sovok says:
All: I haven't been to sickbay since the accident, so I'm not sure how things are going there, but I left a competent medical team while I was gone.

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Puts the PADD back on top of the counter:: Computer: Computer, begin recording.

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Sits tensely listing to the reports of the dead and wounded::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Mentally reminds herself to have a "talk" with Folken for leading her on a wild goose chase::

CMO_Sovok says:
CO: I'll get my official report to you as soon as I have numbers, Sir. ::Sits down::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
Computer: Subject cranium has a large hole located above the right eye and continuing backwards towards the rear, ending approximately half way back.  Preliminary examination shows the skull fragments have been blown outward from the inside.  No visible brain mass present in subject cranium.  ::Sighs::

OPS_Spicer says:
<SO> *OPS*: Sir, you aren't going to believe this but some of the material seems to be biological.
