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

The crew of the San Carlo were taken hostage and the ship seized by Commander Takel and his crew of Trandarus Raiders.  CO Marek and TO Arzas were infected with the Florox virus when Marek refused to cooperate with Takel.  SO Stargazer was also infected after he attempted to escape the confines of the cargo bay and secure weapons from the
ship's armory.

The crew is now back in the cargo bay as the ship is headed to the secret base of operations of the pirates.

The ship is 35 minutes from the pirate base.

Time lapse: 5 minutes...

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

CO_Marek says:
::Feels woozy and thirsty::

EO_Jo says:
::Looks around at the mess of the crew.  He shakes his head and looks over to his Captain:: Self: Well, I've made a mess of things... Now it's time to clean it all up.  ::He starts assisting the other crewmembers with what he can::

TO_Arzas says:
::Lies on his back and scratches his belly::

OPS_Wolfe says:
::Looks at his reflection on a shiny wall panel and smiles:: Self: I look marvelous. ::Adjusts his hair a little::

Host Commander_Takel says:
::Sitting in the command chair on the bridge of the San Carlo eating a nice Bailey Special sandwich that he found listed on the replicator menu::

CO_Marek says:
::Tries to hide his suffering, just to conserve some dignity::

EO_Jo says:
::Finishes with helping the crew out.  Then walks over to his Captain, but staying a good distance away as not to catch the virus:: CO: How are you doing?

TO_Arzas says:
::Belches::

CO_Marek says:
EO: I'm fine, Jo, take care of the rest of the crew.  Any suggestions on how to isolate us?  ::Glances at the TO::

TO_Arzas says:
::Thunks paw on chest:: CO: Better out than in.

EO_Jo says:
::Nods but knows he's not telling the truth:: EO: Not sure Sir... Keeping you behind those crates will help some... I fear it won't be enough though. ::Waves an orderly over::

CO_Marek says:
TO: ::Raises an eyebrow:: Fine...

OPS_Wolfe says:
EO: Well, now what do we do?

CO_Marek says:
EO: How's the crew morale? ::Feels even woozier and leans against the bulkhead to avoid falling::

TO_Arzas says:
::Moves to hold up the CO::

EO_Jo says:
::Turns to OPS:: OPS: Well, if you can come up with a better way of quarantining them... ::Points to his Captain and the other infected crewmembers:: Then I'd be happy to hear it.  ::Turns to his Captain::

EO_Jo says:
CO: They're doing fine, considering the mess we're in. ::Leans towards the orderly::

EO_Jo says:
<MO_Band_Aide> ::Walks over to the EO:: EO: Yes? ::Looks over at the infected crew::

Host Commander_Takel says:
::Finishes eating the sandwich and hits the COM button on the arm of the chair:: *Cargo Bay*: Attention!  We are approaching our destination.  Please extinguish all smoking materials, bring your seats to a full and upright position and fasten your seatbelts.  That is all...

EO_Jo says:
MO: This is a request... Not a command... ::Looks up::

CO_Marek says:
EO: Now they mock at us... I really look forward the moment when they are behind bars...Let's see who mocks at who.

OPS_Wolfe says:
EO: How about putting up a forcefield around them? ::Nods to the emitters:: I believe that is what those devices are for. And look! ::Points to a panel:: A control panel! Could it possibly work the forcefields? ::Sarcastic::

EO_Jo says:
::Shakes his head at Takel's sick humor:: MO: I would like you to personally see to their well being.  ::Sighs:: That does entailing that you physically help them.

EO_Jo says:
::Nods approvingly:: CO: Aye Sir!  I'm for that! Please, rest Sir.  ::Turns to OPS::

CO_Marek says:
EO: The science and medical staff should figure a cure to this virus. That could be our only chance to survive.

EO_Jo says:
OPS: Try it... But I'm not sure it will work...

TO_Arzas says:
::Sits back down to cough and wonders....is that some candy corn?::

EO_Jo says:
CO: Aye Sir... I'm having them do what they can.. But we don't have all we need Sir.. Just a few PADD's and Tricorders...

CO_Marek says:
TO: How are you :.coughs:: doing, Arzas?

CO_Marek says:
EO: I understand, but still they should do their best.

OPS_Wolfe says:
::Goes to the panel and tries to activate a forcefield around the infected crew::

TO_Arzas says:
::Waves:: CO: I'll be okay Sir, how are you holding up?

EO_Jo says:
<MO_Band_Aide> ::Nods and accepts the task.  He walks over to the infected and starts making them comfortable::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The control panel is deactivated.

CO_Marek says:
::Nods to the TO::

EO_Jo says:
::Smiles reassuringly:: CO: Aye Sir.  That they are.

OPS_Wolfe says:
EO: The panel is not working. Perhaps you can figure it out.

EO_Jo says:
<MO_Band_Aide> ::Moves over to the next patient and scans him.  Looks up and notices that it's his Captain.  Then makes a pillow out of some jackets and props the Captain’s head up::

EO_Jo says:
OPS: I will try... ::Thinks a moment then turns to the Captain::

CO_Marek says:
EO: Any indication where the ship is being headed?

EO_Jo says:
CO: Sir... No idea Sir.  We could be deep in Federation space, or in the Beta quadrant for all we know.  What do you think of me going and talking with Takel about trying to use some of the facilities?

EO_Jo says:
<MO Band Aid> ::Moves over to the TO and scans her.  Then makes another pillow for her head:: TO: Care for a nice soft pillow?

TO_Arzas says:
EO: Eh? yeah whatever sinks your boat

CO_Marek says:
EO: I see. I don't want any personnel to be put in risk again, but considering the situation asking for some assistance is imperative. But that is something I should do.  ::Feels a pain deep in his gut::

EO_Jo says:
::Nods, then winces as the Captain moans:: CO: Please... You need your rest... I can handle it.

EO_Jo says:
<MO Band Aid> ::Scan's the other patient and then makes yet another pillow for them, he shakes his head as he knows he'll probably be infected too, but is more sorry for the others::

CO_Marek says:
::Leans against a container avoiding to touch another person::

TO_Arzas says:
::Coughs and covers his face with his paws::

EO_Jo says:
CO: Sir?  You've spoken with this person once... Any information you can give about them would be extremely helpful Sir.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: A few crewmembers become woozy and pass out on the deck.  They have become infected with the virus.

OPS_Wolfe says:
Self: Oh man. This isn't good. ::Moves as far from everyone else as he can:: Ewww...don't touch me, don't touch me.

TO_Arzas says:
::Belches again and rolls to a comfortable spot::

EO_Jo says:
<EO Band Aide> ::Finally looks around and sees the other crewmembers fall.  He runs over:: ALL: Out of my way!  ::Gently he lifts up one of them and carries them back to their makeshift quarantine area::

CO_Marek says:
::Notices as some member of the crew begin to fall to the floor, as his symptoms begin to increase, causing his to bend over::

EO_Jo says:
::Struggles with himself, his duties and his loyalty to the Captain:: Self: I need to try...

EO_Jo says:
<MO Band Aide> ::Brings one of the crewmembers back to the quarantine area, then runs over to help the others:: EO: You better do something fast... We wont last long like this Sir.

CO_Marek says:
EO: My strength is abandoning me...

EO_Jo says:
::Turns back to his Captain:: CO: Sir... Just try to relax.  I'll do what I can.

SO_Stargazer says:
::Fighting infection:: Self: Must find out what this is, so I can find antidote
::Working feverishly::

CO_Marek says:
EO: Try to contact Takel, we need some medical equipment ASAP

TO_Arzas says:
::Reaches with a paw to an imaginary bag of Cheetos:: Self: ....need......cheese that goes crunch.....

OPS_Wolfe says:
::Goes to one of the infected crew:: Crewman Useless: Are you okay?

EO_Jo says:
::Turns to his Captain:: CO: Aye Sir.  Rest now.  I'll take care of you.

EO_Jo says:
<MO Band Aide> ::Starts making the newly infected crew as comfortable as he can::

CO_Marek says:
::Belches too... but his Vulcan belches are quite louder than a human's::

SO_Stargazer says:
::Running symptoms through the computer::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The CO's belch echoes in the cargo bay.

OPS_Wolfe says:
<Useless> OPS: I don't feel well. In fact, I'm feeling a little useless at the moment. ::Groans::

TO_Arzas says:
CO: Way to go Captain! Umm…Sir. ::Salutes::

EO_Jo says:
::Walks over to the SO, keeping his distance:: SO: Any progress yet?

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The computer responds to the SO’s requests with gibberish.

CO_Marek says:
::Sits down, leaning his back against a container::

EO_Jo says:
<MO Band Aide> ::Does what he can to make the crew as comfortable as he can::

SO_Stargazer says:
::Runs a tricorder over himself:: EO: No.

OPS_Wolfe says:
Crewman Useless: Is there anything I can do for you? ::Pulls back as the crewman attempts to touch him::

EO_Jo says:
::Walks over to the other crew who are working on the virus and converses with them::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The ship slows to a stop as Takel begins the task of giving his security codes to the Trandarus Security force.  Five raider ships surround the San Carlo.

OPS_Wolfe says:
<Useless> OPS: I just crave human touch. I am so lonely. Help me. Please. ::Coughs up blood::

OPS_Wolfe says:
Crewman Useless: Back away not today Disco Lady! ::Backs away from the infected crewman::

EO_Jo says:
::He straightens out his uniform and heads over to the doors of the cargo bay and knocks on it::

SO_Stargazer says:
EO: Can you fix this computer so I can talk to it and understand it?

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The pirate guards standing by the door aim their weapons at EO Jo.  "Get back over there"

OPS_Wolfe says:
::Looks up at the guards::

EO_Jo says:
::Turns to the SO:: SO: Sorry... I have more important things to do. ::Walks over to the guards::

TO_Arzas says:
::Sits up, looking bleary eyed at the cargo bay:: CO: Sir...in case I don't make it....open up a waffle house in my honor....please?

SO_Stargazer says:
EO: More important than saving lives of the crew?

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The San Carlo escorted by five security ships enter the security grid surrounding the planet.

EO_Jo says:
<MO Band Aide> ::Scans the infected crewmembers and looks over the data::

CO_Marek says:
TO: You will open your own waffle house, Arzas.

TO_Arzas says:
CO: You really mean it? ::Leans on him:: Oh, thank you Sir! ::Hugs him::

EO_Jo says:
Pirate Guards: I need to speak to your leader.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Pirate Guard> EO: It won't be long now...

CO_Marek says:
::Struggles to keep conscious::

EO_Jo says:
Pirate Guard: Huh?  I need to speak to your leader, Sir.

OPS_Wolfe says:
::Hears the guards and does the moon walk over to them:: Guard: We have sick people here. We need access to your sickbay facilities.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Pirate Guard> EO: Get back now!  ::Steps forward brandishing his weapon::

EO_Jo says:
<MO Band Aide> ::Starts entering a few commands into his tricorder::

EO_Jo says:
::Moves a bit closer to the Pirate Guard:: Pirate Guard: As you can see... ::Points back to the infected crew:: That virus is running rampant through this ship!  I need to speak with your leader before we're all infected and die!

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Pirate Guard> OPS: You will get access when we get where we are going.  Now, get back!

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The San Carlo begins its descent to the landing grid.

OPS_Wolfe says:
::Looks at the guard with surprise, then nods and moonwalks back to where he was standing before:: Self: No need to get so huffy.

SO_Stargazer says:
::Running tests on the tricorder::

CO_Marek says:
::Feels like the ship were shivering for the landing maneuvers, but blames it on the fever::

TO_Arzas says:
::Passes out, hugging the CO::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The ship shudders as the pirate pilot has never landed a Defiant class starship before.

EO_Jo says:
::Raises his voice a bit and tries to say in a commanding tone:: Pirate Guard: That virus is running rampant through this ship Sir!  I need to speak with your leader immediately Sir. ::He staggers a moment and then steadies himself::  Do you understand what could happen if he opened any of the doors to this ship while on a planet?!?

OPS_Wolfe says:
ALL: Are we there yet?

EO_Jo says:
<MO Band Aide> ::Looks over to the EO and the Guard, shakes his head and goes back to analyzing the data::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Pirate Guard> ::Stumbles forward a few steps then backwards again from the unsteadiness of the ship:: EO: We are landing, now get back with the others!  ::Shouts::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The ship hits the landing grid, bounces up and back down again finally landing with a heavy "thud".

CO_Marek says:
::His head bouncing from the rough landing::

EO_Jo says:
::Looks the guard over:: Pirate Guard: You are hereby notified that I, Engineering Officer Jo do give you quarantine notices for this vessel and anyone aboard her. ::He bounces and falls to the deck, looking like an idiot::

TO_Arzas says:
::Hugs the CO tighter:: CO: I wuv my mommy.

CO_Marek says:
TO: huh? Your... ::Feels really uncomfortable::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Soon the engines power down.

CO_Marek says:
::Raises an eyebrow::

OPS_Wolfe says:
ALL: Well, at least we have landed.

EO_Jo says:
::He gets up:: Pirate Guard: By order of Starfleet Command and Starfleet Medical, this ship and everyone aboard her are quarantined. ::He turns and walks back to the others::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Pirate Guard> ::Looks at the EO and shakes his head::
