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

A mission briefing was held where the crew gave updates to the situation on level 10 and compared notes on any information they had gathered up to now.

Without any solid leads thus far the investigation is being expanded.

Questioning of the surviving Kezlarites will begin as well as follow up investigations on the ships, which arrived or departed just prior to the explosions occurring.

Time Lapse: 10 minutes.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Kootenai Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Sits in the big chair waiting for more information to come in::

FCO_Marek says:
::Finishes his report concerning lifting the lockdown::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Sitting in her office in Sector Command Headquarters working on the forensic reports for the Captain::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Growls under her breath as she stalks the Promenade::

OPS_Spicer says:
::At the Operations console in Operations::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
*FCO*: You wished to help interrrogate?

FCO_Marek says:
*CTO*: Indeed, Lieutenant, I'll join you in a couple of minutes after I present a report to the Captain.  Marek, out.

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Hears Marek's reply to Bao, looks toward him::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Leans back in her chair, reading data on a PADD::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Crosses her arms as she walks, grumbling under her breath::

OPS_Spicer says:
::Searches the LCARS for the background of the Kezlarite people and any known Kezlarite criminals and terrorists::

FCO_Marek says:
::Turns to the CO chair and hands him a PADD:: CO: Sir, this contains my plan for the lifting of the lockdown, Sir.  Basically, I recommend only giving clearance for Federation vessels then extend it to the other vessels based on their destination and of course until we finish our investigation I think the Kezlarites should remain docked with additional security teams assigned to them, Sir.

Host CO_Kerst says:
::A thought suddenly occurs to him.  Glances over the report::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Pauses to gulp down a cup of coffee and rub her sore temples::

Host CO_Kerst says:
FCO: Very good, you can help Bao with the questioning of the survivors now.

FCO_Marek says:
::Nods in agreement:: CO: Sir.

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Stands and walks over to OPS::

FCO_Marek says:
::Heads to the turbolift and then turns to the OPS:: OPS: I would like to be informed if the USS Hercule reports anything about the overdue ship.

OPS_Spicer says:
FCO: Aye, Sir. I will notify you as soon as I get the report.

FCO_Marek says:
::Enters the turbolift:: TL: Level 10.  ::Nods to the OPS before the turbolift doors close::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Closes her eyes and sighs:: Self: These stupid headaches.

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
ACTION: Level 10 is now completely secured.  All injured and dead bodies have been removed along with all body parts.  Clean up crews have begun to arrive on the scene.

FCO_Marek says:
::Exits the turbolift and accidentally bumps into a clean up crewman:: Crewman: I am very sorry.

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Holds the PADD out for OPS:: OPS: Mister Spicer, I want you to coordinate with the departments about implementing this plan.  If we don't have any more incidents, we'll start lifting the internal lock-down in 30 minutes.  The affected sections on level 10 will remain secured and off-limits until Security is done with them and gives the okay.

FCO_Marek says:
::Reaches the CTO’s location:: CTO: Lieutenant, please lead the way.  ::Nods::

OPS_Spicer says:
::Takes the PADD:: CO: Understood, Sir.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Looks up and sees the FCO, puts her paw down and takes a sip of her coffee:: FCO: Okay.  ::Twitches her tail slowly and begins to walk across the Promenade::

FCO_Marek says:
CTO: Oh, please, finish your coffee first.  It would illogical to not drink it.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: FCO: It's not like a make a habit of it, you know?  I usually drrrink tea.

FCO_Marek says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: CTO: Well, let’s move then.

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Stands and exits the office and heads out to the turbolift::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Gulps down the rest of her coffee and walks into her office, setting the cup in her replicator tray:: FCO: I had all of the suspects put in the drrrrunk tank. ::Gestures:: Afterrrr you.

OPS_Spicer says:
::Begins to implement the FCO's plan coordinating with the security and engineering departments::

FCO_Marek says:
CTO: I have a suspicion that we will get evasive answers.  What do you think?

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
FCO: Oh of courrrse.

Host CO_Kerst says:
TO Bailey: Contact the Kezlarian home world, Run a list of all the Kezlarties that arrived on station in the last 7 days through the security departments, see if anything trips any red flags.

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Enters the turbolift:: turbolift: Cargo bay 4.  ::Taps the PADD and continues reading::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bailey> CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Growls and stabs the communications panel::

FCO_Marek says:
CTO: My first idea was that we are facing some sort of growing internal insurgence movement among the Kezlarite people and the Federation got right in the middle of it.  The few clues we have seem to lead us in that direction.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Nods:: FCO: Interrresting....and I just thought that trrrrouble likes to find us.  ::Grins::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bailey> COM: Kezlarian: This is Lieutenant Bailey of the Federation Starbase Kootenai Station requesting a listing of all Kezlarite citizens on record who attended the annual worshiping ceremony.  Please begin transmission when ready.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Walks out of cargo bay 4, making his way to sickbay::

FCO_Marek says:
CTO: So, who is our first suspect?

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: A few moments pass and a listing of Kezlarite names begins scrolling on Bailey's screen.

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Nods to the CMO as he is leaving Cargo Bay 4 and then enters the cargo bay::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Nods back to the Admiral and enters the turbolift:: Computer: Sickbay.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Gestures with a paw:: FCO: Zago, overr therrre.

FCO_Marek says:
::Sees Zago: CTO: Very well... ::Grabs one CTO's arm:: Wait a moment, Lieutenant

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Makes her way directly to the rear of the cargo bay, stopping briefly to check on a patient::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: FCO: Sirrrr?

Host CO_Kerst says:
*CMO*: Sovok, any ID yet on our bomb carrier?

CMO_Sovok says:
*CO*: Not yet, Sir.  I'm on my way to check on the patients in Sickbay right now though.

FCO_Marek says:
CTO: I have an idea.  Let's play an ancient game, Good Starfleet officer, Bad Starfleet officer.  It always works on this kind of interrogation. I will try to scare them.  You'll present a nice and compassionate face.  Do you follow me?

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Perks her ears and drums her claws on her desk:: FCO: Oh, Good cop, Bad cop?  I've watched all of the ancient earth training tapes.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Arrives in Sickbay and begins examining the patients::

Host CO_Kerst says:
*CMO*: Okay, but keep on that identification.  That is our best lead at the moment to who is behind this.

CMO_Sovok says:
*CO*: Aye, Sir.

FCO_Marek says:
CTO: Sometimes humans have some good ideas.  Anyway, do you agree?

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Moves to the back of the cargo bay and pulls out a bag from the "freezer".  Opens the bag and dumps the contents onto a tray; a severed hand.  Begins picking at the hand with tweezers, putting the debris into bio containers::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Nods:: FCO: I like having the upperrr paw.

FCO_Marek says:
CTO: Fine, Lieutenant, let's proceed with this... Zago.

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Pulls a good-sized piece of debris from the wrist portion of the severed hand.  Places it on a slide and inserts it into the microscope.  Taps the control panel and the magnification of the debris appears on the screen::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Grins and extends her claws::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Looks carefully, sector by sector at the debris::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Leaves Sickbay and makes his way back to the turbolift:: Computer: Cargo Bay 4.

FCO_Marek says:
CTO: I am certain I would not make you get angry.  ::Raises an eyebrow::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Feels the turbolift whirr a few decks and stop.  Walks off and back into the Cargo Bay:: Admiral: Anything, Sir?

Host CO_Kerst says:
OPS: It's been about 30 minutes, and nothing new has blown up, you can proceed with the plans for lifting of the lock-down, but keep our shields up until further notice.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Grins:: FCO: It tends to keep my prrroblems at a minimum.

FCO_Marek says:
::Stands next to Zago's bed:: Zago: Let me introduce ourselves, Mister Zago. I I am Commander Marek and this is Lieutenant Rr'Vellan, the Station’s Chief of Security.  We would like to ask you some questions.  ::Tries to sound nice and compassionate::  We understand your situation, but this is really important, Zago.

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Hears the CMO but doesn't take her eyes off of the display:: CMO: I am just doing a bit of rechecking.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Growls under her breath::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bailey> ::Downloads the Kezlarite listing onto a PADD for the CO:: CO: Here is the list of Kezlarites from the Kezlarian home world, Sir.  I am running a cross check now to see if their list matches ours.

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Takes the list from Bailey:: TO: Good, I know its a long shot, but maybe we'll get lucky.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bailey> Computer: Computer, compare this list to the one on file.  Note any discrepancies.

FCO_Marek says:
<Zago> ::Roll his eyes:: FCO/CTO: What do you… ::Moans:: …want??? ::Moans again::

OPS_Spicer says:
CO: Aye, Sir. ::Maintains shields and implements the lifting of lock-down status::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Sees something suspicious in one of the sectors:: Computer: Computer, isolate and magnify sector 17.  ::Watches as the sector is magnified::

FCO_Marek says:
Zago:  Yes, we are conducting our investigation on the recent attack on your people and our crew.  I wonder if you can tell us something us anything at all, that can help us in discovering the initiator of this crime.

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Stares at the screen:: Self: Hmm.....Computer: Computer, analyze substance in sector 17.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Taps her claws on the bulkhead:: Zago: I would like to disembowel you!  ::Snarls::

FCO_Marek says:
<Zago> FCO/CTO: I know.... nothing!!!!  Leave me alone!  ::Moans again:: I.. I.. don't want to talk with you!

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Computer> Admiral: Unable to identify.  Substance is unknown.

FCO_Marek says:
<Zago> ::Sees the CTO claws::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
FCO: I told you he wasn't worrrrth it!  Let's just eject him into space!  ::Continues tapping her claws::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Pulls the slide from the microscope and puts it into a bio container for the science department to analyze::

FCO_Marek says:
CTO: Please, Lieutenant, do you mind? I am trying to interrogate this person in civilized way.  Behave yourself!  ::Turns to Zago::  Zago: We could do this the easy way or the hard way, you know?  I certainly do not want to follow the Lieutenant’s suggestion.  Please...cooperate with us.

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Puts the severed hand back into its bag then places it into the freezer.  Picks up the tray of samples and heads out of the cargo bay::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Bares her sharp teeth:: FCO: I don't think he's worrrth ourrr attention. Let's just kill him! ::Lashes her tail::

FCO_Marek says:
<Zago> ::Gulps:: FCO: But I don't know anything!  Please believe me!  ::Joins his hands, pleading::
