ACTION: THERE ARE A FEW HUNDRED PIECES OF DEBRIS.

CO_Louis:
*Commander Olbrun* Clear a Cargo bay for inspection.

XO_Olbrun:
::feels very dizzy, and slumps to the deck....perhaps the EMH administers the wrong thing::

CEO_Kal:
::takes her kit and heads to weapons control herself with an engineer::

COO_Cain:
XO:  The shuttle is in hundreds of pieces, I am attempting to scan all of it.

XO_Olbrun:
::she is out cold::

CTOValrek:
::rushes to the XO:: *EMH* :We have a medical emergency in OPS

CSECHicks:
::Steps off the turbo lift and enters OPS::

COO_Cain:
::Looks over at Olbrun::  *Sickbay*  To the bridge.

CEO_Kal:
*Engineering* Anything from your diagnostic on the phasers?

CO_Louis:
:: Exits TL into OPS and heads to the XO, noticing that she seems quite incapacitated ::

CFCOTimp:
::finally gets all of the ships back in their berths and locked down::

COO_Cain:
CO:  The doctor is on his way.

CO_Louis:
<EMH> *Please state the nature of the medical emergency*

CEO_Kal:

CSECHicks:
CTO: I picked up the explosion from my office, what happened?

CTOValrek:
EMH: The XO has fainted

CTOValrek:
CSEC: The Admiral'

CO_Louis:
<EMH> *Have you tried splashing water into her face?*

CTOValrek:
CSEC: His shuttle exploded

COO_Cain:
::thinks - EMH Humor?::

CTOValrek:
EMH: No, but I think it may be more serious than that

CO_Louis:
Hicks: Please work on securing a cargo bay to bring that debris on board to investigate.

CSECHicks:
*CFCO* Which shuttle bay did the admiral's shuttle depart from?

CSECHicks:
CO: Aye, sir.

CTOValrek:
CSEC: We need to check all outgoing shuttles for more explosive devices before they leave....have everyone get off those shuttles now

CO_Louis:
<EMH> *Well, until there are emitters in OPS, you should bring our patient to Sick Bay for me to examine... Don't you think?*

CSECHicks:
Cain:  Can you clear me a cargo bay?

CTOValrek:
*EMH*: Very well, I will bring her down immediately

CO_Louis:
<EMH> *I will prepare a bed, EMH out.*

COO_Cain:
Hicks:  Cargo bay 2 is available.

CFCOTimp:
::looks over the duty schedules to find out who last serviced the admirals shuttle::

CTOValrek:
::picks the XO up and carries her to the TL::

XO_Olbrun:
::starts to stir and notices Valrek's face above her:: Valrek: Please put me down.

CSECHicks:
Cain: Thanks, now can you beam the debris there?

CEO_Kal:
::studies her reading and notices that there's a bad relay within the systems and gets on it::

CTOValrek:
XO: Yes Ma'am. ::puts her down::

COO_Cain:
Hick:  Aye.

CTOValrek:
XO: Are you feeling alright?

XO_Olbrun:
Valrek: I can make it to sickbay on my own. ::steps into the turbolift:: I'll live, thank you.

CO_Louis:
:: Shakes head at the XO... and moves on ::

CTOValrek:
::nods as the turbolift doors close::

COO_Cain:
::allocated power to transporters, starts to beam debris into cargo bay 2::

Adm_Douhm:
ACTION: THE DEBRIS IS MATERIALIZING IN CARGO BAY 2.

CO_Louis:
Hicks: Have we answered any of the burning questions... like who was with the Admiral just before he left?... Also, who had access to the Admiral's shuttle?

COO_Cain:
Hicks:  All debris is now in Cargo bay 2.

CSECHicks:
*CEO* Can you meet me in Cargo Bay 2?  I need your expertise in analyzing the shuttle debris.

XO_Olbrun:
::takes the lift down to the infirmary, and goes in to be treated::

CSECHicks:
Cain: Good man, thank you.

XO_Olbrun:
EMH: Something isn't right here....

CEO_Kal:
::repairs the damaged relay then starts running a level 2 diagnosis and leaves the assistant in charge and heads down to engineering::

COO_Cain:
Hicks:  Your welcome Ensign.

CO_Louis:
Hicks: After getting the investigation underway, begin interviews of crew and guests.

CSECHicks:
CO: Aye, sir.

CO_Louis:
Cain: Lock down all docks... nobody leaves the station.

CEO_Kal:
*CSecHicks* Alright I’m on my way

COO_Cain:
CO:  Aye sir.

CSECHicks:
*CEO* Acknowledged.

CFCOTimp:
::finds that a crewman La Zie hasn’t reported for duty::

CSECHicks:
CO: Sir, I'll be in Cargo Bay 2.

COO_Cain:
::transmits locking down orders to Security, allocates power to lock outs.::

CTOValrek:
::gets back to his console and begins to run sensor sweeps around the station for hidden ships::

CO_Louis:
<EMH> *OPS... I am awaiting our patient, what is taking so long?*

COO_Cain:
::initiates lock outs::

COO_Cain:
CO:  Station locked down sir.

XO_Olbrun:
::taps her toe by the door of the sickbay:: EMH: I'm right here.

CO_Louis:
Hicks: Acknowledged.

CEO_Kal:
::changes her destination in the TL for CB 2::

CSECHicks:
::Steps into Cargo Bay 2::

CFCOTimp:
*SickBay*: Have you had a crewman La Zie report at all in the past 24 hrs?

CO_Louis:
<EMH> Welcome commander... are we having more problems with our hangover?

XO_Olbrun:
EMH: Actually, I'm wondering if you gave me the wrong remedy.

XO_Olbrun:
::still leaning against the doorframe::

CSECHicks:
::Pulls out a tricorder, searches for any explosive residue or trace elements::

CEO_Kal:
::gets out of TL and heads down corridor to the cargo bay::

CFCOTimp:
*La Zie*: Crewman Report

CO_Louis:
<EMH> Commander: Is that an attempt at humor? You are aware that I am a computer facsimile incapable of that? And, you may come in for me to examine you.

CEO_Kal:
::enters TL and goes to the debris, tricorder in hand::

CO_Louis:
<EMH> :: Grabs tricorder ::

CFCOTimp:
::after getting no response::Computer:Locate Crewman La Zie

XO_Olbrun:
::walks in, still just exuding attitude::

CSECHicks:
CEO: Hello, Kal.  It's a mess isn't it?

Adm_Douhm:
<Computer>  Timp:  Crewman La Zie cannot be located.

COO_Cain:
CO:  I just received a report saying that the door on Jeffries tube 917 is ajar.

COO_Cain:
CO:  I am sending a security team to investigate.

CEO_Kal:
CSec: Hi, sure is. What happen, its just blew up?

CFCOTimp:
::scratches her head:: *CSEC*:I have a missing crewman to report

CO_Louis:
Timp: Dispatch a team to the crewman’s quarters to look for clues.

CEO_Kal:
::looks at the tricorder readings::

CSECHicks:
CEO: According to tactical, the shuttle got a few hundred yards away and exploded.

CFCOTimp:
::thinks I pilot ships not a posse::*CO* aye sir

CO_Louis:
<EMH> Commander: It is highly unlikely that I administered an incorrect remedy, however if you would like me to re-examine my original diagnosis... I will, just for the sake of argument.

COO_Cain:
::contacts security team to investigate::  *Security Team*  Contact the bridge immediately when you arrive.

XO_Olbrun:
EMH: I don't just randomly go passing out, Doctor.

CO_Louis:
<EMH> :: Begins scanning ::

CEO_Kal:
CSec: I’m reading residue from a Transporter beam

CEO_Kal:
::adjusts some command on her tricorder::

CFCOTimp:
::gathers a team and heads for the crewman’s quarters::

CEO_Kal:
CSec: this is interesting... I’m also reading explosives

CSECHicks:
CEO: Are you saying someone beamed a bomb aboard?

COO_Cain:
CO:  The security team reports no one in the area, I have ordered them to do a DNA scan to determine who has been there recently.

CFCOTimp:
::arrives at the crewman’s quarters::

XO_Olbrun:
::starts feeling woozy again::

CO_Louis:
<EMH> Commander: Well, it seems that you have not been getting enough rest... I have something for that. Please hop up onto this bed and lay back. :: Reaches for another hypospray ::

XO_Olbrun:
::doesn't hop so much as climbs up onto the biobed::

CEO_Kal:
CSec:Or maybe someone beamed the admiral

CO_Louis (Sound - Hypospray.wav):
<EMH> :: Leans over and injects the commander with a strong sedative to keep her well rested for a few hours ::

CFCOTimp:
::opens the door and walks in tripping over a foot stool on the way in::

XO_Olbrun:
::curls up on the bed and drifts to lala land::

CEO_Kal:
CSec: then covered up by exploding the shuttle...

CSECHicks:
CEO:  I see.  According to my tricorder, there is no sign of the admiral's remains.

CO_Louis:
<EMH> *OPS: The commander needs rest, I have directed her to remain here for a few hours... EMH out.*

CFCOTimp:
::looks up and gets aided by a crewman on her way up::

CEO_Kal:
CSec: My readings shows the same

CSECHicks:
CEO: Now, we need to go through the stations transporter logs and make sure that beam didn't emanate from Kootenai.

La_zie:
::bound and gagged farther up in the Jeffries tube::

CFCOTimp:
::looks around and wonders how a Tellarite could live in such filth::

La_zie:
Mmm!    Hmmm!   Mph!    ::banging feet on wall::

COO_Cain:
::the security team reports finding crewman La_zie::

COO_Cain:
CO:  the security team has found crewman La_Zie.

La_zie:
::relieved to be found and telling story as gag comes off::

CEO_Kal:
CSec: Alright ::heads to a nearby console and asks the computer for the transporter logs::

CO_Louis:
Cain: Bring the crewman to OPS as soon as possible.

CTOValrek:
::runs another diagnostic on the phasers to see if the repairs have been made::

COO_Cain:
CO:  Security reports crewman La_Zie was bound and gagged and are questioning her now.

COO_Cain:
CO:  Aye sir.

CSECHicks:
CEO:Kal, I need to start interviewing people who had contact with the admiral.  Can you handle this by yourself?

COO_Cain:
::directs the security team to bring the crewman to Ops::

CTOValrek:
::diagnostics come back and all systems are operating normally now::

CFCOTimp:
::looks around and finds nothing::Crewmen: other than a desperate need for a maid, there is nothing to be found here

CEO_Kal:
CSec: Sure, I'll keep you inform of my findings

CSECHicks:
CEO:Thanks, Kal.  I'll see you later. ::Leaves Cargo Bay 2::

COO_Cain:
::notices security escorting the crewman in Ops::

COO_Cain:
CO:  Crewman La_zie is here sir.

CFCOTimp:
::herds the crewmen out of the quarters making sure to sidestep the various obstacles on her way out as well::

CO_Louis:
La Zie: Are you alright?

La_zie:
CO:  Just barely sir.  I thought I would starve down there before someone found me.  What happened?

La_zie:
CO:  I was sleeping and the next thing I know, I was attacked in my quarters and stuck in that Jeffries tube.  They took my uniform and comm badge too.

CSECHicks:
::Steps off the turbo lift, walks down the corridor and enters his office::

CO_Louis:
La Zie: Did you come in contact with a Ferengi?

CEO_Kal:
::goes through the TR log to the appropriate time index of the explosion::

CTOValrek:
*CSEC*: Have we searched the other shuttles for explosives yet?

COO_Cain:
::directs the security team to return to their duties, except for two officers to secure and stay in Ops::

CFCOTimp:
::heads back down to her duty station::

La_zie:
CO:  Hard to tell sir.  It could have been anyone.  They stuck that blindfold on me too.

CO_Louis:
Crewman: Thank you.

CSECHicks:
CTO: Not as of yet.  I will put a team on it right away.

CTOValrek:
*CSEC*: Keep me informed

CO_Louis:
Cain: What is the location of the Ferengi ship?... Has it left already?

COO_Cain:
Crewman La_zie:  the security officers will help you to sickbay.

CEO_Kal:
*CSec* the transporter wasn’t from the station.  Someone beamed the admiral from their ship

CSECHicks:
*CTO* Aye, CTO.

CSECHicks:
*CEO*Acknowledged.

COO_Cain:
CO:  Yes sir.  They are gone.

CFCOTimp:
::arrives back at the shuttle bay::<Crewman>:enough site seeing, back to work gentle persons

CO_Louis:
:: Thinking out loud :: Well, it seems as if we need to go on a little road trip.

CEO_Kal:
*CSec* I'll let you inform the CO and continue investigating

CTOValrek:
::looks over to the CO::

CO_Louis:
:: Considers the crew and who should go, since the XO is out of service ::

CSECHicks:
*CO* Captain, this is Ensign Hicks.  We found explosive residue on the admiral's shuttle but not his remains.  With Ensign Kal's assistance, we came to the conclusion that someone has abducted him and tried to cover it up by destroying the shuttle.

CO_Louis:
Hicks: You, Cain, and Valrek get to a runabout and prepare to engage a hunt.

COO_Cain:
CO:  Aye.

CSECHicks:
*CO*Aye, sir

CTOValrek:
::nods to the CO and goes to the TL::

CO_Louis:
*Hicks* Very well, thank you for that report. Bring me all the documented evidence once you are finished.

COO_Cain:
::head into TL with CTO::

CSECHicks:
*CO*Aye sir.

CTOValrek:
Cain: You ready for some excitement? ::smiles as the doors close::

CSECHicks:
*CEO* I have informed the captain of our findings.  Thanks for all your help.

CO_Louis:
Tyler: I want a chemical breakdown of the components used in that explosive.

CEO_Kal:
::starts writing a report on her padd about the findings::

COO_Cain:
Valrek:  Let's just hope we catch up with them.

CSECHicks:
::Leaves office and heads for the flight deck::

CTOValrek:
Cain: If we can find them, we will catch them....trust me.

CEO_Kal:
*CSec* I've started to file a report, I'll lend it to you when I’m finished.

CFCOTimp:
::prepares the runabout padd for launch::

CSECHicks:
*CEO*Acknowledged.  Thanks again.

CO_Louis:
*Cain* Download the Ferengi's manifest... that will tell you where he was heading.

CTOValrek:
::exits TL and heads for the runabout::

CFCOTimp:
::continues to get marauded by impatient ship captains::

COO_Cain:
::entering the runabout and downloading the Ferengi manifest::
