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

CEO Adun found an abandoned baby in a basket just outside the doors to his quarters.  Every time the baby sneezed the station's phasers fired hitting a Ferengi vessel making it's way to the station.  After two phaser hits the Ferengi vessel began returning fire.

The station managed to disable the entire Ferengi vessel.  Weapons, engines, computers, life support...everything is offline.

Commander Rr`Vellan ordered the vessel to be tractored in for repairs and the crew be tended to by the station medical teams.  Three minutes of life support remains and it will take another one minute and thirty seconds to tractor the ship in and secure it.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Kootenai Mission Part II-“Fatal Discoveries”>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CEO_Adun says:
::Standing in the Turbolift, waiting for it to get to Sickbay, which shouldn't take too long::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Trying not to pass out in Main Ops::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Relief OPS> CTO: Ferengi vessel is losing life support but I think I can get them tractored into the docking bay before they suffocate, Sir.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
OPS: Yes...good. ::Looks around:: I'll go meet with them.

TO_Expendable says:
::Stands next to the secondary TAC console:: CTO: The Ferengi ship is in critical conditions. We should hurry if we want to save them, Sir.  ::Taps frantically on his console::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Relief OPS> CTO: Yes, Sir.  ::Taps the console and monitors the progress::

CEO_Adun says:
::Turbolift doors open, showing the empty Sickbay. Adun walks in::

CEO_Adun says:
Computer: Computer, activate EMH.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
TO: Would you like to accompany me?

Host ASM_Bruce says:
ACTION: Ferengi Crew begins passing out.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The computer beeps and the EMH appears in Sickbay.

Host EMH says:
::Looks annoyed:: CEO: Please state the nature of the medical emergency.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Grabs a medkit and heads for the turbolift::

TO_Expendable says:
CTO: I’m after you, Sir.

CEO_Adun says:
EMH: Hey there!  We have a problem baby here!  Apparently, the baby's sneezes cause the station's phasers to fire.

Host EMH says:
::Sighs with disgust:: CEO: Isn't this the same baby that I've already examined, Ensign?

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
TO: Let's hurry, Expendable. Grab a medkit!

CEO_Adun says:
EMH: Yes, it is but I would like you to do some more tests. You know, something a bit more than a tricorder scan?

TO_Expendable says:
CTO: Aye, Sir .. Although.. they are Ferengi, Sir.. errr... nevermind, was thinking out loud... ::Grabs a medkit from a locker and follows the CTO::

Host ASM_Bruce says:
ACTION: The Ferengi vessel is tractored in and secured on the deck.

Host EMH says:
::Sighs:: CEO: Very well.  Put her on bio bed one.  You can leave her here.  I will contact you when I am done with the tests.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Nervously taps her foot as the turbolift speeds them to the docking bays::

CEO_Adun says:
EMH: Fine.

CEO_Adun says:
::Walks over to bio bed one and places the baby on it::  Self: He's in a bit of a snit, isn't he?

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Relief OPS> CTO: The Ferengi vessel is in docking bay seven, Sir.

CEO_Adun says:
Baby: There we go. Okay, now, I'm going to have to leave you here, but don't worry. He won't hurt you. He may look like he will, but he won't. Just, don't sneeze anymore while I'm gone, okay? Good.

TO_Expendable says:
::Hears the Relief OPS and throttles inside the turbolift::

CEO_Adun says:
::Pats the baby on the head and walks out, a bit unwillingly::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::When the turbolift arrives, she jogs out in the direction of docking bay seven::

Host EMH says:
::Begins extensive scans on the baby:: Self: Hmm....

TO_Expendable says:
CTO: Shouldn't we call for some medical teams to assist us, Sir?

CEO_Adun says:
::Goes to nearest turbolift, worrying about the baby::

Host SM_Darlene says:
*CTO*: Better hurry, Sir, my scans indicate the life support is completely offline.  They're out of oxygen.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
TO: Oh...yeah. *Sickbay*: We could use some help in docking bay seven.

Host ASM_Bruce says:
ACTION: The rest of the Ferengi crew passes out as there is no life support left

CEO_Adun says:
::Steps inside turbolift:: Computer: Main Engineering.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Opens the hatch to the Ferengi ship:: Ferengi: Hello?

Host EMH says:
::Hears the COM:: *CTO*: This is the EMH.  Currently there is no medical staff in here.  You will need to recall off duty medical personnel as I cannot leave the confines of this….this beautiful room.  ::Looks around Sickbay::

TO_Expendable says:
CTO: I just wonder who programmed the EMH character.. ::Shakes his head::

Host ASM_Bruce says:
ACTION: There is no answer to the CTO as they are all unconscious.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Takes a tricorder out of her medkit and scans the ship:: TO: I think we should get them out of here first.

TO_Expendable says:
::Scans the ship with his tricorder:: CTO: I agree... They are just about to die, Sir.  Could we just beam them out?

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
TO: Yes of course...that would be faster. Computer: Beam the Ferengi to Sickbay.

CEO_Adun says:
::Arrives in ME and walks out, towards the MSD to assess the damage, if any::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The computer beeps in acknowledgement and begins locking onto the Ferengi crew and beaming them directly to Sickbay.

TO_Masters says:
::Monitors security sensors from tactical office::

TO_Expendable says:
CTO: We will have a lot to explain to the Ferengi Council after this...

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Nods:: TO Expendable: Oh, yes...that will not be pleasant.

TO_Masters says:
::Exits office and goes to docking bay seven::

Host EMH says:
::Sees unconscious Ferengi appearing on all the bio beds in Sickbay and drops his tricorder onto the deck.  Mumbles:: What the...?

TO_Expendable says:
CTO: Wonder what is the EMH thinking now? ::Giggles::

CEO_Adun says:
Self: Who hoo!  Nothing more to fix!  Well, I guess I should get to old things.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
TO Expendable: I'd rather not know...but we need to be there to explain things when they wake up.

Host EMH says:
::Bends down and picks up his medical tricorder, grabs a hypospray and begins rushing from bio bed to bio bed waving the medical scanner over the patients::

TO_Masters says:
::Arrives at docking bay seven::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
*CEO*: You think you can do me a favor?

CEO_Adun says:
::Walks around to the pool table to see what his team hasn't done yet::

TO_Expendable says:
::Closes his tricorder:: CTO: And engineering will have plenty of work repairing this ship.  Guess they will spend the weekend on this.

CEO_Adun says:
*CTO*: That depends, what would it be?

Host EMH says:
::Begins giving each Ferengi patient an injection to revive them::

TO_Masters says:
Expendable: Makes me glad I'm no longer the CEO here.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
*CEO*: The Ferengi vessel we accidentally shot needs repair...you think you could a team on it?

CEO_Adun says:
*CTO*: Absolutely. I'll work on it myself.

TO_Expendable says:
::Smiles:: Masters: Welcome to the Tactical Branch... You will have certainly more fun here.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
*CEO*: Thank you very much.

CEO_Adun says:
*EO*: Assemble a team and meet me in docking bay seven. We have a Ferengi ship to fix.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
TOs: Let's get to Sickbay and try to explain things to the Ferengi.  ::Nods to the TOs and begins walking back to the turbolift::

TO_Masters says:
CTO: Aye, Ma'am.

CEO_Adun says:
::Gets in turbolift again to go to the docking bays::

TO_Expendable says:
::In his usual fatigue tone:: CTO: Explain things to a Ferengi? ::Raises an eyebrow and follows the CTO::

TO_Masters says:
Expendable: You think this is a hard thing, then?

TO_Expendable says:
Masters: An impossible thing, if you ask my opinion

Host EMH says:
::Waves the tricorder over the Ferengi patients and wonders why they are not responding to his treatment:: *CTO*: This is the EMH.  Please turn to your emergency medical channel.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Rolls her eyes:: *EMH*: I am almost to Sickbay, what's the problem?

TO_Masters says:
Expendable: Nothing's "impossible."

CEO_Adun says:
::Exits out into the corridor along the docking bays and walks toward 7::

Host EMH says:
*CTO*: I regret to inform you that I was unable to revive the Ferengi that were beamed to Sickbay, Commander.  I'm afraid they are all....dead.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Goes pale:: *EMH*: Are you sure?

TO_Expendable says:
Masters: Try to deal with our EMH, then reconsider you opinion. ::Winks an eye::

Host EMH says:
*CTO*: Positive.  ::Furrows his eyebrows::

CEO_Adun says:
::Meets the engineering team at the doors to docking bay seven::

TO_Masters says:
::Drops the subject when hears the Ferengi are dead::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Puts her head in her paw and curses in Chinese::

TO_Expendable says:
::Hears the EMH on the COM::

Host EMH says:
*CTO*: What would you like me to do with the bodies, Commander?

TO_Masters says:
CTO: I hope the Ferengi Alliance doesn't charge us with manslaughter before they know all the facts.

CEO_Adun says:
Engineering Team: Hey! Just in time. Okay, looks like every system is down. Just like with the station, split up into pairs and take each system. Charlie, you're with me on the main computer.

Host EMH says:
::Walks over to the baby who is now asleep::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Wipes her face:: *EMH* : I guess put them into the morgue. *CEO*: I don't think you need to hurry with fixing that ship...the crew is dead.

CEO_Adun says:
::Stops in his tracks, wondering what the repercussions will be::  *CTO*: Aye, Sir. We're here already.

Host EMH says:
*CTO*: Very well.  I have not yet completed my tests on Ensign Adun's baby, however I will have a report within the hour. EMH, out.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Turns to the TOs:: TOs: Adun has a baby?!

TO_Masters says:
CTO: He found a baby at his doorstep.

Host EMH says:
Computer: Computer, transport all the Ferengi in Sickbay to the morgue.

CEO_Adun says:
Engineering Team: You have you orders, get to it.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The computer beeps and begins transporting the dead Ferengi in Sickbay to the morgue.

CEO_Adun says:
::Enters the Ferengi ship and finds his way to the Main Computer room::

TO_Expendable says:
Masters: A baby at his doorstep? Who could leave that baby there??

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
Masters: A baby?  Aww geez...

TO_Masters says:
CTO: Unknown, however, Adun said she sneezed a couple times, almost at the same time as the phasers fired hitting the Ferengi.

Host EMH says:
::Takes a blood sample from the baby and begins running an analysis::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
Masters: And you were going to tell me this....when?

TO_Expendable says:
::Ironically:: Masters: Yeah, like the baby caused this whole mess... ::Raises an eyebrow::

CEO_Adun says:
::Gets to the main computer room and tries to figure out what went wrong as Charlie checks the blank consoles::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::As the Turbolift stops, she exits and begins walking towards Sickbay::

TO_Masters says:
CTO: As soon as it was known the baby had any link to the malfunctions... ::Turns to Expendable:: Expendable: ...which can be possible, given the nature of our job.

CEO_Adun says:
::Crawls under the main storage device to see if anything burned out::

TO_Expendable says:
Masters: Masters, don't take that seriously, I was making an ironic remark... ::Goes back to his usual fatigue attitude::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Enters Sickbay and looks around::

Host EMH says:
::Walks back to the baby and takes it over to the surgical bay and places it on the bio bed.  Taps the control pad and begins running internal scans.  Watches the computer as it displays the scan results:: Self: Hmm...what is this...::Voice trails off::

TO_Masters says:
::Follows CTO into Sickbay::

TO_Expendable says:
::Follows the CTO into Sickbay and stares the Ferengi dead crewmen::

Host ASM_Bruce says:
ACTION: The baby cries and the whole station starts to shake violently.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Sees a baby on a biobed and walks quickly towards it::

TO_Masters says:
::Hears the baby cry, immediately checks PADD and tricorder::

CEO_Adun says:
::Feels the ship shake and crawls out form under the computer::

Host EMH says:
::Hangs onto the medical console and looks at the crying baby on the bio bed::

CEO_Adun says:
*CTO*: What was that?

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
Self: Oh...no...no no no no no...

TO_Expendable says:
::Grabs hold from one biobed:: All: What on Earth....?!

TO_Masters says:
::Runs tricorder scans while holding onto an exam table::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
*CEO*: Your child is crying.

TO_Masters says:
::Makes way shakily over to EMH::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Picks up the baby and gently rubs it back and speaks softly to it...it always worked on her kids::

Host EMH says:
CTO: What is going on around here?  The baby WAS asleep!  ::Studies the scanner display::

CEO_Adun says:
::Pauses to figure out exactly what that means. When the light bulb finally goes on, he quickly gets up and makes to leave::

Host EMH says:
CTO: I've found something rather....unusual...::Nods at the CTO::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
Baby: Shush....it's okay... ::Gently rocks the baby::  EMH: Oh? What?

TO_Expendable says:
::Approaches to the EMH and the CTO::

Host ASM_Bruce says:
ACTION: As the CTO rubs her back, the baby howls louder, causing the station to really start shaking harder

Host EMH says:
::Sees the TO's move into the surgical bay:: TO's: You are not cleared to be in here!  Get out!  ::Stumbles back against the surgical bay walls then stumbles back to the bio bed monitors::

TO_Expendable says:
Masters: After all, I think you were right.. There IS a connection between the baby and this phenomenon.

TO_Masters says:
All: Anyone know any good lullabies?

CEO_Adun says:
::Stops and wonders what the hell he's going to do and leaves anyway::

TO_Expendable says:
EMH: Why don't you....never mind... sorry.

CEO_Adun says:
::Stumbles down the halls all the way to Sickbay::

TO_Masters says:
EMH: What is going on with that kid?

Host EMH says:
::Looks angrily at the CTO:: CTO: Put that baby back on the bio bed, Commander!  I'm not done with my scans!

TO_Expendable says:
All: We should make this kid stop crying or the entire Station will be torn apart

Host EMH says:
TO: That's what I'm trying to find out, Lieutenant!  But I can't do that if SHE...::Looks at the CTO:: keeps picking up my patient!

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Thinks maybe the baby is allergic to cats and sets it back down on the bio bed, backing away slowly::

CEO_Adun says:
::Rushes into Sickbay to see the whole crowd of people around his baby and tries to break into the group::

TO_Masters says:
EMH: Ever think that she might have a maternal instinct, doc?

CEO_Adun says:
All: What's all this?

TO_Expendable says:
CEO: That's the million-latinum bars question, Adun

Host EMH says:
::Sees all the crew inside Sickbay and shouts:: All: What do you think this is...a concert?!  Get out!

TO_Expendable says:
CEO: I think you should try to check the EMH mood routines.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Flicks her ears back and growls, then lashes her tail, turns on her heels and begins to walk out::

Host EMH says:
::Taps the medical console again and takes more scans:: Self: Hmmm.....

CEO_Adun says:
EMH: Shut up, unless you have an idea!  This baby is tearing the station apart...apparently.

CEO_Adun says:
TO: I'll get right on it...later.

TO_Masters says:
CTO: Commander, you can override that hologram!  The baby is a security risk.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Tilts her head:: Masters: If he wants to doom him, I really don't care at this point.

Host EMH says:
::Looks at the CEO angrily:: CEO: Shut up?  This is MY jurisdiction, ENSIGN!  I'm trying to determine what it is about this baby....::Voice suddenly cuts off as he looks at the scan results::

Host ASM_Bruce says:
ACTION: The baby quiets down from all the yelling and station stops shaking.

TO_Masters says:
::Hears the EMH's terse line stop:: CTO: I think the doctor has found something...

Host EMH says:
::Looks at the crew:: All: It would seem that this baby has an unusual electro magnetic signature in it's brain.

CEO_Adun says:
<EO Charlie> *CEO*: Sir, I think I may have found something down here you might want to see.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
EMH: Can you fix it?

TO_Expendable says:
EMH: Does it have a natural origin?

Host EMH says:
CTO: I'm a doctor, not a mechanic!  You can't just "fix" these things...unless you intend on terminating her life!

TO_Masters says:
EMH: Can you at least help us find a way to keep her from destroying the station if she were to do a messy?

Host EMH says:
TO: Natural origin?  I don't know anything about this species.  There is no information available in my database.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Makes a face:: EMH: I have the safety of this station to worry about, you arrogant photonic fool!

CEO_Adun says:
*EO*: All right, I'm on my way. See if you can get your hands on a power source while I'm getting there.

CEO_Adun says:
::Leaves for the Ferengi vessel::

TO_Expendable says:
EMH: Can you guess?  ::Raises an eyebrow::

Host EMH says:
::Slams his medical tricorder onto the instrument tray:: CTO: Photonic fool???  Fine!  ::Walks stiffly out of the surgical bay::  YOU FIX IT!

TO_Masters says:
Computer: Freeze EMH!

TO_Expendable says:
CTO: I think we should review the whole concept of having an EMH aboard...

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The EMH freezes in mid stride, arms flailing.

Host ASM_Bruce says:
ACTION: The baby, asleep once more, passes gas, firing off a photon torpedo
