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

The mission briefing did not reveal not much more information on the bombing of station chapel.

Captain Kerst ordered a limited lifting of the station lockdowns as outlined in FCO Marek's recommendations.  OPS Spicer is now initiating the plan.

CTO Rr'Vellan and FCO Marek began questioning of the surviving Kezlarites in Cargo Bay 4.  They just finished up with questioning Zago a Kezlarite victim.

CMO Sovok resumed his identification process of the remains found in the chapel rubble.

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

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Paces around Operations::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Growls and continues tapping her extends claws on the bulkhead, glancing to the FCO::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::In the Sector Commander's Office putting the final touches on the report for the Captain::

Narezal says:
::Laying on stretcher in Cargo Bay 4::

OPS_Spicer says:
::At the Operations console implementing the FCO's plan to return the station to normal operations::

FCO_Marek says:
::Signals to the CTO:: CTO: I think we should leave Mister Zago for now. If he knew something he would tell us, right Mister Zago?

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Stands and exits her office heading for the Science Labs::  Sherman: I will be in Science Lab 1.  ::Walks briskly past Lieutenant. Sherman and out the door::

FCO_Marek says:
<Zago> CTO/FCO: Sure, sure... I would, but I don't know... nothing ... okay?

Host CO_Kerst says:
*CMO*: How is that ID coming on the bomber?

FCO_Marek says:
CTO: Let's proceed with the next witness, Lieutenant.

CMO_Sovok says:
*CO*: I have hardly any records to cross-reference this by.  The only thing that might give us an ID now is a miracle.  I don't think this guy was registered.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Flicks her ears back and narrows her eyes:: Zago: But if I find out you know something...::Snarls and follows the FCO::

FCO_Marek says:
*OPS*: Any news from the USS Hercules, Spicer?

Host CO_Kerst says:
*CMO*: Do we have a reconstruction of his face? If so we can try running it trough our visual records and see if he shows up anywhere.

FCO_Marek says:
CTO: So, who is next, Lieutenant?

CMO_Sovok says:
*CO*: No offense Sir, but I sincerely doubt we'll be reconstructing anything here. His face was blown apart from the inside with a high yield explosive.  It's amazing that there's this much left.

OPS_Spicer says:
*FCO*: Not at this time, Sir.  The last communiqué was 15 minutes ago.

FCO_Marek says:
*OPS*: Thank you, Mister Spicer.  Marek, out.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Looks around the cargo bay:: FCO: Hrrrrmmm… ::Points to Narezal with a claw:: Herrrrrr.

Host CO_Kerst says:
*CMO*: Okay, log his DNA in the database and we'll hope there's a match somewhere.  How are the rest of the survivors doing?

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Strides into the Science Lab and hands the technicians another case of samples:: Technician: Please have these samples analyzed right away and keep me informed of your findings.  ::Turns and looks into a microscope::

FCO_Marek says:
::Stares at Nazeral:: CTO: It seems that her wounds were severe.  I think we should be more considerate with her.  ::Moves to her bed::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Retracts her claws:: FCO: Alrrright. I was just getting the hang of "Bad cop".

Host CO_Kerst says:
TO Bailey: Run the DNA of the bomber through our database for a match, then forward it to their homeworld and see if they have a match for it.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bailey>: CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Grumbles and thinks: I'm a Tactical officer, not a forensic technician!::

FCO_Marek says:
CTO: Don't worry.  ::Turns to Nazeral:: Nazeral, that is your name, right?  I am Commander. Marek and this is Lieutenant. Rr'Vellan, we would like to ask you some questions.

Narezal says:
::Opens one eye::  CTO: My government has been having problems with terrorists factions.  These bombings at the station were just another in a string of bombings on the Kezlarite homeworld.  I blei9eve that one is called the Freedom fighters of Kezlarite Oppression.

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Sees the disgusted look on Bailey's face, thinks he should remember that matching clues and evidence is part of a security officers job::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Perks her ears:: Narezal: Oh? Finally we'rrrre getting somewherrrre.

Narezal says:
CTO: The second one is something like the Cult of Kezlarite Freedom and the other two I don't remember.

FCO_Marek says:
::Tries to understand why he is hearing answers without the questions, but what the heck, at least they got answers::

OPS_Spicer says:
CO: Sir, the station is now demoted to a level 5 lockdown.

Host CO_Kerst says:
OPS: Very good. Any word on locating our missing Kezlarians?

FCO_Marek says:
Nazeral: Were you warned about the possibility of a terrorist attack during the ceremony?

Narezal says:
CTO:  I am called Narezal and I am at the moment in a lot of pain so if you don't mind please stop questioning me.  I have told you all that I know and no we weren't.  ::Closes her eyes in a wave of tremendous pain::

OPS_Spicer says:
CO: Not yet Sir. I am going through all of the passenger manifests and matching them up with the security monitors to see if they actually came aboard. The computer is still working on it. Estimated time to completion 2 hours.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Flicks her ears back:: *CMO*: Sovok can you please come to Carrrrrgo Bay 4?  We have....a lead.

FCO_Marek says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: Nazeral: Fine, we won't upset you.  CTO: We better let her rest for now.

Host CO_Kerst says:
OPS: They still haven't shown up on our internal scans?

OPS_Spicer says:
CO: No, Sir, they could be using personal cloaking devices. I have modified the internal scanners to check for any anomalies that may be associated with a cloaking device but so far no luck.

FCO_Marek says:
::Signals the CTO to follow him:: CTO: I think we should inform the Captain immediately. The Kezlarites certainly didn't tell the whole story to the Federation when they asked the station to host their ceremony.

Joquil says:
::Laying on her stretcher in moderate pain::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Nods and follows the FCO:: FCO: So you used to be the CTO I hearrrr?

Host CO_Kerst says:
OPS: They may also be simply masking their reading to look like something else, or not to register. Coordinate with security. Have teams personally check every anomaly those sensors find, no matter how small. And for now, nothing leaves this station until they are found.

FCO_Marek says:
CTO: Yes, I was and don't  believe everything they say about me during that time.  Are there any other witnesses to interrogate, Lieutenant? ::Makes a note on his PADD::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
ACTION: A Science Lab technician approaches the Admiral and hands her a PADD.

Joquil says:
::Sees the CTO and weakly lifts head::  CTO: Rr'Vellan, may I speak with you?

OPS_Spicer says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Takes the PADD and taps the button and reads the information:: Technician: And you found this in the new samples I just brought in?

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
FCO: I hadn't hearrrd anything about you. ::Smirks and looks around. Notices Joquil and perks her ears:: FCO: Sirr… ::Moves toward Joquil:: Joquil: Yes?

Joquil says:
CTO: I am the Kezlarite High Priestess, Joquil.  I was officiating the ceremony.

OPS_Spicer says:
::Begins coordinating with security teams to check out each anomaly the computer identifies::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Technician> ::Nods to the Admiral:: Admiral: Yes, Sir.

Joquil says:
CTO: I am still at a loss as to what happened.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
Joquil: Oh? ::Kneels next to her cot:: Did you see anything?

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
Technician: Very well.  Continue analysis on the samples.  I must speak to the Captain immediately.  ::Turns and walks out of the science lab::

FCO_Marek says:
Joquil: High Priestess Joquil ::Nods and stands next to the bed listening carefully::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Slaps her COM badge as she enters the turbolift:: *CO*: Mitchell to Kerst.  Turbolift: Operations.

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Reads the information on the PADD as she rides to Operations and waits for a response from the CO::

Joquil says:
FCO: At this point, my government has had troubles with terrorists and for a long time.  We are still unable to pinpoint the different organizations but we do know that there are at least 4 organizations.

Host CO_Kerst says:
*ADM*: Kerst, here, go ahead Admiral.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Taps on her PADD as she listens::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
*CO*: I am on my way to Operations.  I have some new information regarding the explosive.

Joquil says:
FCO: Would someone get me a glass of Vinaran Juice please?

Host CO_Kerst says:
*Admiral*: Understood, I'll meet you in my Ready Room.  OPS: Spicer, you have Operations.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Looks up at the FCO::

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Walks into the Ready Room::

CMO_Sovok says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Watches some of the people in the cargo bay start to get released and sighs with relief, knowing that it'll be over soon::

FCO_Marek says:
Joquil: In a minute, High Priestess   So, if you allow me to question... What are the motives of this terrorist factions to attack you?, besides to obvious reasons, I mean..

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Twitches her tail slowly as she listens::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Exits the turbolift into Operations.  Strolls past Spicer and Bailey and nods to both.  Taps the door chime to the Ready Room and waits to be allowed in::

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Hears door chime:: Admiral: Enter.

Joquil says:
FCO: I am disappointed in you that you would let a patient go thirsty in order to get more information.

OPS_Spicer says:
::Gets to feet:: All: Admiral on deck!

FCO_Marek says:
::Motions to a nurse:: Nurse: Please, could you see that the High Priestess gets a glass of Vinaran juice, please?

Joquil says:
FCO: Thank you.

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Enters the Ready Room as the doors slide open:: CO:  Captain... ::Offers him the PADD::  We have identified the specific type of explosives used in the bombings.

OPS_Spicer says:
::Returns to his seat at his station::

FCO_Marek says:
Joquil: ;;raises an eyebrow:: That was no my intention, High Priestess.

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Takes the offered PADD:: Admiral: Really, what is it?

Joquil says:
FCO: We are a very religious culture and we do have certain morals as you humans would put it.

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
CO: It is a form of multi-phasic tri-polymer plasma infused with tri-molecular multi-density protons.  ::Raises an eyebrow::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Watches the FCO and flicks one ear forward, watching him curiously::

FCO_Marek says:
Joquil:: ::Raises an eyebrow again:: I am a Vulcan, Sir. Not a human.

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Glances at the information on the PADD::

Joquil says:
FCO/CTO: It is ...... please excuse the confusion of your race.  We have not allowed our selves to explore the outer boundaries of our temples for fear of outside contamination.

FCO_Marek says:
Joquil: I understand. Please continue.

FCO_Marek says:
<Nurse> Joquil:  Her is the Vinaran juice, High Priest. ::Hands the glass to the priest::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
CO: When we ran this information through the LCARS we found this explosive originates from the Kezlarite homeworld.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Continues to take notes, mentally comparing Sovok to Marek::

Joquil says:
CTO/FCO: As I was saying, our government is now at this moment trying to hunt down......::Takes the Vinaran juice and sips it::  Mmm this is quite good.  As I was saying, they are trying to hunt down these extremists.

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Raises both eyebrows at the news::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Continues to treat the wounded after documenting the DNA, seeing as there wasn't much else he could do with it because the computers couldn't cross reference it with anything.::

Host CO_Kerst says:
Admiral: If I remember correctly, this isn't something just anybody could get a hold of, correct?

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
CO: Correct, Captain.  ::Sits down in one of the chairs in front of the Captain's desk and notices how "firm" the cushions are::

FCO_Marek says:
Joquil; I see. This leads me to think that you were in certain way expecting the attack, that's why you asked the Station to hold the ceremony, am I right?

Joquil says:
::Sips some more juice::  FCO: This juice is quite good.  I wasn't aware that you had any of this onboard.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Continues taking notes::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Squirms in the chair trying to get comfortable:: CO: I do not mean to change the subject but I can give you the name of my decorator, Captain.  ::Frowns::

FCO_Marek says:
Joquil: Our replicators are programmed with a vast variety of food choices.

Joquil says:
FCO: We were not sure if they were planning an actual attack for this ceremony.  We asked for permission on the premise that a Station would deter the terrorists and a Federation Station at that.

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Raises his eyes to the Admiral then takes a quick look around at the axes and swords hanging on the walls, the paintings of Viking battle scene...:: Admiral: You don't care for this decor?

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
CO: Well, to be more precise, it is your chairs I am not particularly fond of.

Host CO_Kerst says:
Admiral: Anyway, I believe the multi-phasic tri-polymer plasma would leave a specific radiation signature we could track if we readjusted our internal scanners.

FCO_Marek says:
Joquil: I see. Is any one of these factions some sort of religious fanatic or an anti-religious faction, perhaps?

CMO_Sovok says:
::Makes his way back over to his computer to see how the DNA results were coming in::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Tilts her head and watches Sovok for a moment, then turns back to Joquil::

Joquil says:
FCO/CTO: Yes one of these factions is anti-religious, but we never thought that they would actually go through with their threats.

Host CO_Kerst says:
Admiral: Ah, well, those were actually your chairs.  I guess you never sat in your guest chairs, did you? ::Smiles at the irony of the situation::

FCO_Marek says:
::If he were human he would yell "Bingo!" :: Joquil: And the name of this faction is…?

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Perks her ears::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: CO: No, I did not, they were left here by the previous station commander.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Watches as a match from the severed hand found and tested flashes on the screen:: Self: Ke'ron Denon... ::Types the name into his PADD and leaves the cargo bay very quickly, heading for the Turbolift:: Computer: Operations.

Host CO_Kerst says:
Admiral: Actually, they've been here longer than I've been on the station.  But anyway, do you think we can pick up where this multi-phasic tri-polymer plasma has been using our internal sensors?

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
CO: It is possible, however I doubt that it will tell you anything.  I believe you need to follow it to the source, Captain, on the Kezlarite homeworld.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Arrives at operations and chimes at the captain's ready room. Completely forgetting he has a COM badge to communicate::

FCO_Marek says:
CTO: I assume you took good notes of this, don't you?

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Looks to the door as the chime sounds::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Nods:: FCO: Of courrrse, Sirrr.

Host CO_Kerst says:
Admiral: Yes, but it may tell us how they got it on the station.  Its worth pursuing at any rate, we may get lucky.

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Hears door chime:: CMO: Who is it?

CMO_Sovok says:
CO: Sovok, Sir.

Host CO_Kerst says:
CMO: Enter.

FCO_Marek says:
Joquil: Is everything fine, High Priestess? ::Raises an eyebrow::

Joquil says:
FCO/CTO:  The main anti-religious organization is called The Cult of Kezlarite Freedom.

OPS_Spicer says:
*CO*: Sir, sorry for the interruption, but the USS Hercules has just notified me that they are currently in orbit around the Kezlarite homeworld.

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Stands:: CO: Yes, you might get lucky.  At any rate, I have an urgent situation at Starbase 259 I must attend to.  I will be departing at 0600-tomorrow morning and must prepare.  Good luck, Captain.  ::Turns and heads for the door::

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Stands:: Admiral: Good luck to you and thank you for assistance in this matter.

FCO_Marek says:
Joquil: Very well.  I think you have been a great help for us.

Host CO_Kerst says:
*OPS*: Understood.

Joquil says:
FCO/CTO: They are a right wing organization and I have a name if you care to hear it.

Host CO_Kerst says:
CMO: Yes, Doctor?

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Nods and heads out, nodding to the CMO as she passes him::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Walks into the ready room and hands him the PADD, nodding to the Admiral:: CO: I found a match Sir, a DNA match of a severed hand to a man by the name of Ke'ron Denon. He belongs to one of the factions but I'm not sure which one yet, I haven't read into it.  It was just a surface file.

FCO_Marek says:
Joquil: But of course…

OPS_Spicer says:
*FCO*: Sir, you requested to be informed when the USS Hercules checked in. They have and are currently in orbit of the Kezlarite homeworld.

Joquil says:
FCO/CTO: His name is Tokril Jerot Denon.

FCO_Marek says:
*OPS*: I see, Lieutenant. Thank you.  Did they report anything else?

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Stops to talk to Bailey before heading for the turbolift.  Nods at Spicer on her way out::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Taps on her PADD:: Joquil: I see.

OPS_Spicer says:
All: Admiral on deck.  ::Stands::

Host CO_Kerst says:
CMO: Is this...::Scans file::...Ke'ron the bomber?

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Waves her hand casually as she enters the turbolift:: Turbolift: Sector Commander's Office.

OPS_Spicer says:
::Sits down as the Admiral leaves::

FCO_Marek says:
Joquil: What are the intentions of this mister Denon? To overthrown you government? ::Realizes that is an obvious question::

OPS_Spicer says:
*FCO*: They are waiting to hear from the Kezlarite magistrate.

CMO_Sovok says:
CO: To the best of my knowledge. Yes.

Host CO_Kerst says:
CMO: Good, now we have a second starting place.  ::Rises and heads back into Operations::

FCO_Marek says:
*OPS*: Please inform them that the High Priestess Joquil is severely wounded but has an excellent prognosis and she will be able to return to the Kezlarite homeworld soon.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Nods:: CO: Is there anything specific that you want me to work on now, Sir, or shall I begin assisting my medical teams in treating and releasing the injured?

Joquil says:
FCO/CTO: At this point in time we believe that it is the beginning of a plot not just to overthrow the government, but to also destroy our religious beliefs and morals.

OPS_Spicer says:
*FCO*: Acknowledged.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Shakes her head:: Joquil: Terrrrible.

Host CO_Kerst says:
CMO: You can continue to treat the wounded and good work, Doctor.

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Heads into Operations:: OPS: Mr. Spicer...

OPS_Spicer says:
CO: Sir?

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Exits the turbolift and walks into the Sector Commander's Office stopping to talk to Lieutenant Sherman:: Sherman: Notify Commander Hiromoto that I will be ready to depart at 0600 tomorrow morning and to have the Seahawk ready for departure.

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
<Lieutenant Sherman> Admiral: Aye, Sir.

Joquil says:
CTO/FCO:  Yes it is a terrible thing to see that your people are beginning to turn from the old and ancient ways that have kept us in union with each other.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Nods:: CO: Thank you, Sir. ::Leaves Operations and heads back to Sickbay::

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Hands the PADD from the ADFM to OPS:: OPS: Here is the explosive used in the bombing, it is a form of multi-phasic tri-polymer plasma infused with tri-molecular, multi-density protons.  It may have left a slight radiation trial as it came through the station. Get with Science and then reconfigure the internal sensors to scan for that trial.

FCO_Marek says:
Joquil: Sometimes that's inevitable but there are ways to deal with that kind of situation. ::Gives a friendly nod::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Picks up her messages on a PADD from Sherman's desk and walks into her office::

OPS_Spicer says:
CO: Right away Sir. ::Takes the PADD and interfaces it with his console sending the data to sciences::

Joquil says:
FCO: Yes, it is.  We acknowledge that change is inevitable however it will take time do it without hurting the balance of what we have.

Joquil says:
FCO: These terrorists want to eliminate our religious culture now and change our government to a radical type of law, which in my opinion is totally horrible.

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Walks towards Bailey and hands him the PADD:: TO Bailey: Here is the name of our suspected bomber, one Ke'ron Denon.  Check our records for him, and check with the home world on what they have on him.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Growls under her breath:: Joquil: I hope yourrrr goverrrment is dealing with them apprrrroprrriatly::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Walks back into Cargo bay 4 and looks around::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bailey> ::Takes the PADD and looks at the CO:: CO: Aye, Sir.

FCO_Marek says:
::Thinks for a moment:: Joquil: I see, well, would you agree to help with our investigation? I mean, a direct collaboration with us?

Joquil says:
CTO/FCO: Yes we do have strict laws for this type of thing.

OPS_Spicer says:
CO: The MTP/TMDP trail leads to docking port 3. The port where the Kezlarite ship left just before the explosion and lockdown.

Host CO_Kerst says:
OPS: Inform the San Carlo to prepare for launch.

OPS_Spicer says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Stands up and looks at the sound of the door opening and notices Sovok. Smiles and twitches her tail::

Joquil says:
FCO?CTO: I would be more than happy to help you.  I want these terrorists just as badly as you do.

FCO_Marek says:
Joquil: What would you say if I asked you to come with us to your homeworld in order to perform a direct investigation in your planet?

CMO_Sovok says:
::Smiles back as he sees the CTO smile at him and decides to walk over there to see what she's up to::

OPS_Spicer says:
::Notifies the San Carlo to prep for launch::

Joquil says:
::Looks at the FCO::  FCO: Really, yes I would like that very much.

Host CO_Kerst says:
OPS: Have the senior staff report to the Briefing room 1 in 15 minutes, and have them prepared to travel, I think we're going on a trip.

FCO_Marek says:
Joquil: Magnificent. I will inform you as soon as we are ready to go.

Joquil says:
::Nods and lays back down::

OPS_Spicer says:
*Station-wide*: All senior officers report to the Briefing Room in 15 minutes.  Be prepped to travel.
