Episode 59 - “Relics, Part 2”: The USS Luna has arrived at Luna.  They have taken up a standard orbit and have beamed down to the moon.  Upon their arrival a grizzly murder has occurred.  A janitor was found in the bathroom, dismembered, blood and body parts everywhere.  Security teams along with Cmdr O'Guinn and Lt Owens have secured the scene but the curator is forbidding the murder to be reported.  The Museum is opening in 24 hrs to the publics with the recently found artifacts.  Any mention of the murder could qreatly affect this.  Ens Hanover and Lt Singh have entered on of the cargo areas and have begun to examine the artifacts.  A shadow looms behind them, a stench so strong that it is practically knocking the two women off their feet.  When the try to scan, nothing appears on their tricorders.  Can the crew find the Murderer before the Museum opens?

::standing outside the room of the murder scene inspecting the three Command Areas he has set up::
TO_Rowe says:
::arives at the murder scene and looks around, shows a foul face and looks at the CEO::
CSO_Singh says:
::Breathing through her mouth only, her phaser in one hand::  *XO*: Commander... we have a situation here...  ::Looks over at Ana::
XO_Savar says:
::Still aside from the CO and curator:: *CSO*: What kind of situation?
FCO_Hanover says:
::looks at Harmony:: CSO: Let's go...out of here until it is secure. ::grabs bag and starts backing out of the room::
OPS_Owens says:
::moves back into the room looking for the CEO::

ACTION:  Harmony finds a box that catches her eye and ignores Ana.

Toni_Kristy says:
::Sitting on her desk, listening to the XO::
CSO_Singh says:
*XO*:  We are not sure.  Things were fine when we walked in.  Now there is a stink to knock your socks off...  And...  Odd...
CSO_Singh says:
::Walks over to a box...::
FCO_Hanover says:
*XO*: There is something in here that tricorders won't pick up...and it smells. ::looks at Harmony:: CSO: Harmony we don't have time for this come on.
CSO_Singh says:
::Reaches for the box::
XO_Savar says:
::Furrows his eyebrows:: Self: Knock my socks off... *CSO*: I believe the replicators can make you a new pair, should you require it...
CEO_O`Guinn says:
::looks around the bathroom spots Ens Rowe and Lt Owens:: OPS/TO: Captain wants you two to go room to room looking for signs of the perpertator.
FCO_Hanover says:
::reaches out grabbing Harmony's arm:: CSO: Harmony come on.
FCO_Hanover says:
*XO*: We need a security team down here stat!
Host CO_Harm says:
XO: I want all of our teams to have security escort, I want everyone watching everyones back.
TO_Rowe says:
::once again surveys the scene and pulls his phaser from his side, noticing the CEO:: CEO: Aye. ::glances over at the OPS::
OPS_Owens says:
::nods at the CEO::  CEO: Acknowledged Commander.  I just wanted to first inform you that the three areas you requested have been set up

ACTION:  A shadow appears on the bathroom wall...  The people inside begin gagging due to the stench.

Host CO_Harm says:
Curator: Do you have a subspace transmitter I can borrow?
CSO_Singh says:
::Shakes her head::  FCO:  Wait... there is something wrong here.  Look  ::Points at the crate of various sizes of statues, one is missing::
Toni_Kristy says:
CO: so what happens now?
FCO_Hanover says:
CSO: Harmony we will check this after the security team gets here....I have...I have a bad feeling about this. ::looks around quickly::
XO_Savar says:
*TO*: Ensign, get a security team to the artifact room immediately.
CSO_Singh says:
::Looks around::  FCO:  The smell... do you still smell it?
OPS_Owens says:
::looks to the Tactical Ensign::  TO: All right Midshipman.  Shall we start our search?  ::pull sout his tricorder and motions for an adjacent room::
FCO_Hanover says:
CSO: Yes I smell it now let's go before I get sick.
CEO_O`Guinn says:
TO: I also want you to make sure your security teams are in place. No one in or out of the Museum with out clearence.
Host CO_Harm says:
Toni: The investigation goes forward, and we find the assailant before it can strike again.  Now about that Subspace transmitter?
CSO_Singh says:
::Shakes her head::  FCO:  No... its gone.  ::Looks at her::  Do you sense anyone in here?
OPS_Owens says:
::overhears the COMM to the TO and stops::
Toni_Kristy says:
CO: Pardon, the what?
TO_Rowe says:
::gags and hears the COMM:: *XO* Aye ::gag,choke:: sir.
CSO_Singh says:
*SO*:  Silver, will you run a scan of the museum?  I want anything, anything at all that does not belong here reported.
Host CO_Harm says:
Toni: I need access to a subspace transmitter.
FCO_Hanover says:
CSO: Not in that way...something made my hackles raise earlier. ::continues looking around not daring to move just yet::
XO_Savar says:
::Doesn't like the sound of that:: *TO*: Ensign, are you alright?
Toni_Kristy says:
CO: why?
CSO_Singh says:
FCO:  But not now... ::Bends to the statues and scans them::
SO_Silver says:
*CSO*:  Yes Ma'am.
CEO_O`Guinn says:
::looks at the TO:: OPS: Get him out before he gets sick on the crime scene.

ACTION:  As quickly as the stench comes it disappears, unfortunately two halls down an unholy scream can be heard.

TO_Rowe says:
::looks at the OPS and steps out breathing in:: *Security Team Alpha*: Report to the Artifact room quickly please.
FCO_Hanover says:
CSO: Something is wrong with all of this.
SO_Silver says:
@:Begins to run a narrowed scan of the museum::
OPS_Owens says:
::wonders what he is choking about then hearing the CEO realizes it's the murder::  CEO: Aye Commander.  ::motions the TO on towards the search::
TO_Rowe says:
<TO_Johnson> *TO*: On our way.
CSO_Singh says:
FCO:  The moment we beamed down something has been wrong.
Toni_Kristy says:
CO: did you hear that...
FCO_Hanover says:
CSO: Harmony ask Silver to check on anything regarding these artifacts. Superstitions or curses or anything of the sort. see if you can find out where these things have been.
Host CO_Harm says:
Toni: To assist with the investigation, now your shock at what you have witnessed is allowing me to be gracious, any more and I will have no hoice but to consider obstruction charges.
CSO_Singh says:
::Looks up::  FCO:  Did you hear that?
OPS_Owens says:
::hears the scream and pulls out his phaser running in the direction::
CEO_O`Guinn says:
::snaps head towards the door:: OPS: Belay take the TO and check that scream out.
CSO_Singh says:
*SO*:  Silver... I need you to double check the artifacts manifest and see if there are any supersitions or curses attached to them.
OPS_Owens says:
::while he runs down the hall he begins scanning with the tricorder not hearing the CEO far behind::
CEO_O`Guinn says:
::runs out the door looks around hand close to phaser::
FCO_Hanover says:
::looks towards the door:: CSO: Yes I did.
Toni_Kristy says:
::Gets off her desk and heads out of the office:: CO: what ever you say captain
SO_Silver says:
@*SO*:  Yes ma'am.  As for the first, sensors are not picking up anything.
OPS_Owens says:
::arrives poking the tricorder around scanning::

ACTION:  The AT come to the hallways where a woman is cowering in a corner... white as a sheet... screaming.  Very incoherent.

CSO_Singh says:
FCO: Should we go?
XO_Savar says:
::Hears the scream, and walks out of the room, following the curator::
CSO_Singh says:
*SO*:  Keep checking... something is here.  Try using a different frequency.
TO_Rowe says:
::finishes up checking with the Security Team and whips out his phaser running next to the OPS heading toward the scream::
Host CO_Harm says:
::Moves over to the Curators desk, finding the COM link::
FCO_Hanover says:
CSO: Not unless they call us. We have a job to do here and I see a security team coming down the hall now.
CEO_O`Guinn says:
::taps comm badge:: *ALL*: Everyone check in.
CSO_Singh says:
::nods::
OPS_Owens says:
Woman:  What happened here?  ::looking around with his phaser::
SO_Silver says:
@*CSO*:  Curses and superstitions?
FCO_Hanover says:
*CEO*: The CSO and I are in the artifact room. A security team just arrived.
TO_Rowe says:
<TO_Johnson> *TO*: I am at the artifact room now......
CSO_Singh says:
*SO*:  Yes please...
Toni_Kristy says:
::Moves down the hall toward the AT::
OPS_Owens says:
::taps badge:: *CEO* Owens reporting in.  I found a woman scared out of her wits down the hall

ACTION:  In the hallway, the stench is very evident...  The woman goes unconcisous but first whispers.... Monster.

FCO_Hanover says:
CSO: Your SO is going to think I am daft but it has happened before.
Host CO_Harm says:
::Initiates the protocol for a Subspace Priority One Call to the USS Andromeda::
CEO_O`Guinn says:
*FCO*: Acknowledged keep me and the rest of the command staff updated.
Host CO_Harm says:
COM: Andromeda: This is Campatin Harm USS Luna, urgent message for commander USS Andromeda.
FCO_Hanover says:
*CEO*: Aye sir, Hanover out.
Host CO_Sketek says:
::Accepts the communication in his ready room::
SO_Silver says:
@OK...  ::first she remodulates the sensors, pulling up a program to alter it at each pass.::  At least it is a small area...
XO_Savar says:
Toni: Excuse me, can I ask you a question?
OPS_Owens says:
Woman: Monster?  Where?  ::shakes her mildly:: Wake up.  ::turns to the TO::  TO: You look that way.  I'll go this way.  ::pointing::
CEO_O`Guinn says:
*OPS*: See if you can get her here.
CSO_Singh says:
FCO:  What do you mean it has happened before?
Host CO_Sketek says:
COM: Luna: This is Captain Sketek of U.S.S. Andromeda. I am ready to receive the message.

ACTION:  The woman does not respond.

FCO_Hanover says:
Johnson: Spread out around the room but keep someone close to both Harmony and I at all times.
Toni_Kristy says:
::Walks up behind OPS and sees the woman::
OPS_Owens says:
*CEO* Sir, she has gone unconscious.  We could use soem medics here
Host CO_Harm says:
COM: Sketek: Captain, I am calling to inquire as to your investigation of the murders on SB 81, we have encountered a death of our own here at the New Berlin Museum.
Host CO_Sketek says:
COM: Harm: We have finished the investigations, though we got many victims along the way.
OPS_Owens says:
::pulls out his tricorder scanning the woman::  Self: This is odd
CEO_O`Guinn says:
*OPS*: Acknowledged Mr. Owens.
Toni_Kristy says:
OPS: is she alright...?

ACTION:  One of the security guards in the relic room all of a sudden goes flying.... a figure appears before Harmony and Ana, snarls then quickly dissappears.

Host CO_Harm says:
COM: Sketek: We have one victim as of the moment, the scene was rather gruesome to say the least.
FCO_Hanover says:
CSO: All through history there have been curses that have been on artifacts...once quite a few years ago there was this diamond that everyone that had it died.
CSO_Singh says:
::Stumbles backwards::  What the...
OPS_Owens says:
Toni/*CEO*: Unsure.  Scanning now but I found the same Reptilian DNA on the woman's body
Host CO_Sketek says:
COM: Harm: The only key to the solution is to destroy the knife, completely. The persons are merely possessed by its powers and unable to control themselves.
CSO_Singh says:
::Catches herself on a box::  Damn... ::Scans::
CEO_O`Guinn says:
COM: Luna: O'Guinn to Luna we need medical and forensics down here 5 minutes ago.
FCO_Hanover says:
::garbs Harmony trying to steady them both:: CSO: What was that thing?

ACTION:  Scans do not pick up the creature.

Host CO_Harm says:
COM: Sketek: Possesion, knife, I do not understand, we have the collection of artifacts, I am not sure if there are any knives at present.
Host CO_Sketek says:
COM: Harm: I see, I see. It seems that your situation is not entirely similar.
CEO_O`Guinn says:
*OPS*: Acknowledged Lieutenant.
CSO_Singh says:
FCO:  If it weren't for the fact I believe in magic, I would say nonsense... and since you also believe in magic... ::Points to the missing statue::
Toni_Kristy says:
Self: what is happening here....
OPS_Owens says:
::turns to the curator::  Toni: Do you know anything about the drug called Phoenix?
Host CO_Sketek says:
COM: Harm: The possession means that once a person had touched the knife, they were under its control.
Host CO_Harm says:
COM: Sketek: It seems they have a similar starting point, this knife was it part of the collection that was enroute to the museum, or did it have a different source?
FCO_Hanover says:
CSO: And of course there are always the curses on the mummies. ::looks where she is pointing:: I doubt anyone will believe us but I think these things are cursed. And yes I believe it very much that is why a good archeologist won't take something without a complete check.
OPS_Owens says:
Toni: What happened here?  This woman was apparently attacked by the same Reptilian based animal as the janitor
Toni_Kristy says:
OPS: maybe... what about it?
Host CO_Sketek says:
COM: Harm: In general these things are a great mystery beyond the scope of present science.
CEO_O`Guinn says:
<Luna>COM: CEO: Aye sir they will be down shortly.
OPS_Owens says:
Toni: You know your murdered janitor had traces of it on him?
CSO_Singh says:
FCO:  Well, it is here.  Let's lock it up the others... just in case.  ::Feels silly::
Host CO_Sketek says:
COM: Harm: Therefore it is difficult to predict their behavior or to give good advice.
OPS_Owens says:
*CEO* Permission to beam the woman up to the ship for medical treatment.
CTO_Jarot says:
::on the surface scratching his head as he looks at the "red scene" in the bathroom::  Self: Jeez, someone really had "fun" here... ::sighs for a moment as he tries to analyse the situation objectively::
Host CO_Harm says:
COM: Sketek: Understood Captain, you have been more help then you could know, I hope this conversation can help us track the killing object here before we suffer any more bloodshed, that is if we are dealing with a similar possesion situation.
Host CO_Sketek says:
COM: Harm: I hope all the best.
Toni_Kristy says:
OPS: i did not know that...
CEO_O`Guinn says:
*OPS*: Granted.
FCO_Hanover says:
CSO: Go ahead. But do me a favor don't touch anything until I know for sure.
Host CO_Harm says:
COM: Sketek: Thank you Captain, here is to hoping our next meeting is under better circumstances.  Harm out.
CSO_Singh says:
::nods and walking with care over to the other statues, moves to close and secure the box::
CEO_O`Guinn says:
::mutters about a simple mission going haywire again::
OPS_Owens says:
::finds it hard to believe her for some reason as he contacts teh ship having the woamn beamed to Sickbay::  *TO* Have you found anything yet Midshipman?
Host CO_Sketek says:
::Closes the communication screen::
Toni_Kristy says:
::Leans against the wall:: OPS: does that have anything to do with whats going on here?
CTO_Jarot says:
::makes a few general notes about the crimescene and steps out of the bathroom and walks up to the CEO::  CEO: It looks pretty bad, Sir...
FCO_Hanover says:
::taps combadge:: *XO/CO*: Sirs I would suggest these artifacts be put off limits...I believe they are cursed. ::wonders how they will take that::
CSO_Singh says:
*SO*:  Silver... one thing more to note... each time something odd has occured, there has been a stench.  And the deaths had a combination of DNA that was not possible.  Look for the DNA... not sure you will have much luck with an odor.
OPS_Owens says:
::shrugs as he watches the injured woman dematerialize::  Toni: It is far to early to tell ma'am.  Perhaps it would help if you told me what you know about the drug.
Host CO_Harm says:
::Takes a deep breath and shudders slightly at the tone that conversation just took::
CEO_O`Guinn says:
CTO: I haven't seen anything this bad since the war. ::shakes head:: Any way as soon as forensics gets down I want every thing tagged and bagged.
SO_Silver says:
@*CSO*:  Alright... so far, I am not picking up anything out of the ordinary on the sensors for anything else.  Let me see what I can do for the DNA.  Anything specific?
Toni_Kristy says:
::Rolls her eyes:: OPS: its a drug, a street drug...and well its illegal..
Host CO_Harm says:
*FCO* Make it so Ensign.  Under no circumstances is anyone to physically touch any of the artifacts.
CSO_Singh says:
*SO*:  Try a combination... especially reptillian and amphibian mixed with humanoid.
CEO_O`Guinn says:
::looks at the temp sci station and the drug found in the bathroom::
SO_Silver says:
@*CSO*:  Ummm... you did say humanoid, amphibean and reptillian?
FCO_Hanover says:
*CO*: Aye sir. I am clearing the room and we are going to seal it.
CSO_Singh says:
*SO*:  Fraid so...
OPS_Owens says:
::looks more seriously at her::  Toni: And....
Host CO_Harm says:
::Exits the curators locker, his security escort flanks him the minute he does::
SO_Silver says:
@*CSO*:  Ok... I am on it.
Toni_Kristy says:
OPS: and.... what?
FCO_Hanover says:
CSO: Okay you heard the CO. Let's secure this room no one touches anything.
OPS_Owens says:
*TO* Have you been able to detect any Reptilian based lifeforms Mr Rowe?
SO_Silver says:
@::Runs scans, of each room in the building bit by bit.::
CTO_Jarot says:
::glances at the surrounding area's, then looking back at the CEO::  CEO: I agree, but until then no-one beside us enters the crimescene..  ::waves a few security officers to close down the crimescene tightly::  I hope that the TO and OPS have some luck with examining the surroundings area's... what we need is witnesses'...
Host SM_Arlene says:
<Museum Techs>  ::Enter the room to begin putting the exhibts together.
FCO_Hanover says:
Techs: Stop! No one is to touch these items.
CTO_Jarot says:
::glances at the ceiling::  CEO: Maybe we even some camera's that registered the recent events leading to the murder...
OPS_Owens says:
Toni: ...and did you happen to know about any of your staff or anyone else here using or selling the drug?
TO_Rowe says:
::continues to walk down the hall searching for anything, his phaser is clutched tightly.....and he suddenly remembers, he looks around franticly and remembers and grabs his tricorder and pounds a few buttons:: *OPS*: Nothing really.
CEO_O`Guinn says:
CTO: Agreed Mr Jarot. ::picks up the drug and looks it over::
CSO_Singh says:
FCO:  I am not sure that will help, if the thing can get in and out unseen.  The question is, did it attack the janitor because he touched something, or was it random?  ::Looks around the room suspiciously::
OPS_Owens says:
*TO* Okay then.  Continue a short sweep then return here.  Owens out.
FCO_Hanover says:
CSO: I don't know.
CTO_Jarot says:
::taps his commbadge::  *TO*: Jarot to Rowe, Mr Rowe, any luck so far with your searches on the various surrounding area's....?
Host SM_Arlene says:
<Museum Tech> FCO:  I'm sorry Ma'am, our orders are to get ready for the exhibt tomorrow.  In order to do that we have to touch the artifacts... Unless you and some army are going to forceably remove us, I suggest you step aside.
FCO_Hanover says:
*CO*: The techs have arrived please have the curator call them back.
Toni_Kristy says:
OPS: i'm there boss, i don't keep tabs on what they do or not doing
SO_Silver says:
@::Picks up the mulitple DNA in the bathroom::  Ok... that is noted...  Hmmm... ::adds the combination into the computer sensors and modulates it and runs the scans again.::
TO_Rowe says:
*CTO*: No sir, nothing unusual.
FCO_Hanover says:
Techs: Don't tempt me. There have been murders committed and I think it has to do with these artifacts.
Toni_Kristy says:
OPS: i mean...i don't know
OPS_Owens says:
::sighs at the Curator's response::  Toni: I see.  Well this is becoming quite a mystery.
CTO_Jarot says:
CEO: Commander, isn't it always standard procedure on stations and such that the main computer monitors movement throughout the complex, etc. ?
CSO_Singh says:
FCO:  We know one of the artifacts is missing, lets see if any others are.
Host CO_Harm says:
::Heads toward the artifact room::
CTO_Jarot says:
*TO*: Thank you Mr. Rowe, carry on and keep me informed. Jarot out.
CEO_O`Guinn says:
CTO: Get the security recordings... ::smacks forehead:: and get some scans I want to get as close as we can to an exact time of death.
Host SM_Arlene says:
<Museum tech>  ::laughs::  FCO: They are inanimate objects..crewman, they are not the bogyman.
FCO_Hanover says:
CSO: Don't touch anything.
OPS_Owens says:
::pulls his tricorder out again scanning all the adjacent walls, floor and ceiling where the woman was found::
TO_Rowe says:
*OPS*: Acknowlaged, heading back now. ::begins walking toward where he saw the woman, still scanning for anything::
CSO_Singh says:
FCO:  I have no intention of doing that.  I have the manifest on my tricorder.  This shouldn't take too long.
CTO_Jarot says:
::nods::  CEO: Understood, we will need some medical expertise on that one...
FCO_Hanover says:
::getting angry:: Tech: And what is your background in archeology. And for another I am not a crewman. Now unless you want to be arrested for getting int the way of a murder investigation I would suggest you get out of this room now! ::voice raising::
Host CO_Harm says:
*XO* Meet me at the artifact room
CEO_O`Guinn says:
CTO: I have called medical and forensics down from the ship should be here shortly.
OPS_Owens says:
Toni: Anything you can think of that may help this investigation will go along way in helping us solve this problem before your artifacts are displayed to the public tomorrow.
TO_Rowe says:
<Johnson> ::sees the hostility and tries his best to calm the FCO down and remove the Tech from the room::
XO_Savar says:
*CO*: Aye, sir, I'm on my way.  ::Begins walking towards the artifact room, seeing that everything else is being efficiently taken care of::
Host CO_Harm says:
::Hears the FCO as he approaches::
FCO_Hanover says:
::shrugs Johnson off::
OPS_Owens says:
Toni: I'd hate to see us close this site up before it opens due to our lack in solving these attacks
CTO_Jarot says:
CEO: Aye... ::glances to find someone from the museum::  I'm going to look for our curator and see if she can provide me with the necessary information...
SO_Silver says:
@*CSO*:  Sorry ma'ma... I am only picking up the folks that should be there.
Host SM_Arlene says:
<Museum Tech> FCO:  Then I suggest you arrest us until then we have a job to do...
Host CO_Harm says:
FCO: Report Ensign.
FCO_Hanover says:
Johnson: Arrest them!
TO_Rowe says:
::arrives next to the OPS::
OPS_Owens says:
::hoping the thought of closure sparks her memory a little::
OPS_Owens says:
::notices the TO arrive nodding to him ::  TO: Nothing I suppose Midshipman?
TO_Rowe says:
<Johnson> *CTO/TO*: I have a museum tech in custody that seems to be interfering.....
Toni_Kristy says:
OPS: i don't know, but do what you have to do to find out, we need to open on time
FCO_Hanover says:
::snaps around quickly:: CO: Sir, these techs are not listening and refuse to leave. Besides being insulting they are insisting on touching and moving things. I have asked Johnon to arrest them for being in the way.

ACTION:  An overpowering stench rises behind Owens....

TO_Rowe says:
::shrugs:: OPS: Nothing sir.
OPS_Owens says:
Toni: I find that impossible with what we know so far Ma'am.
XO_Savar says:
::Nears the artifact room and hears the commotion.. he speeds up and sees a barely controlled chaos ready to erupt::
TO_Rowe says:
::hears the COMM and shrugs it off hoping the CTO will take care of things::

ACTION:  Ens Rowe turns and his eyes goes wide at what he sees...

CTO_Jarot says:
::frowns as he hears Johnson over the comm::  CEO: Great, all we need is museum personnel to work against us...  *Johnson*: Report Mr. Johnson, what seems to be the case...?
Host CO_Harm says:
FCO: This room is under Quarentine, Non lethal force is authorized to maintain that quarentine.
OPS_Owens says:
TO: continue to scan these walls and so forth for any clues.  I'm going to have a look in these adjacent rooms.  If you do not find anything, continue along the hall in the other rooms.  Acknowledged?
CSO_Singh says:
::Finds nothing else missing and returns to the group::  All:  Do you ever get the feeling that something is staring right at you, but you can't see it?  I am missing something here.  I know I am... just not what.
Host CO_Harm says:
Tech: Do not make me authorize lethal force.

ACTION:  Owens collapses from the stench..

CEO_O`Guinn says:
::mutters under breath:: CTO: Get me a report please.
Toni_Kristy says:
OPS: you don't get how important this is...you have to find out
XO_Savar says:
::Not what he wanted to hear::
TO_Rowe says:
<Johnson> *CTO*: It seems that the FCO feels that the Tech was interfering when he stated that he must touch the artifacts to prepare for the upcoming opening.
OPS_Owens says:
::suddenly collapses on the floor::
CTO_Jarot says:
::nods::  CEO: Working on it now, Sir...
FCO_Hanover says:
::breathing deep to calm down:: CO: I understand that sir but they insist I am just a crewman who believes in boogymen...me a crewman!
TO_Rowe says:
::can't believe his eyes::
Toni_Kristy says:
::Sees OPS falls, and covers her mouth and nose cause of the smell::

ACTION:  Huge hands come towards Rowe and pick him up and fling him against the wall.

TO_Rowe says:
::gasps and lies against the wall, dazed::
FCO_Hanover says:
CO: I was trying to secure the room when they came in and wouldn't leave.
CTO_Jarot says:
*Johnson*: I share our FCO's concern, but seeing we are here on an advise basis tell or FCO to contact the curator and let her handles her own people...
OPS_Owens says:
::begins to dream of his Holo-Program behind enemy lines in Germany::
Toni_Kristy says:
Self: uh oh....this isn't good...::starts backing away::
FCO_Hanover says:
::overhears what the CTO just said:: *CTO*: We are under orders to secure this area therefore they need to be arrested.
CEO_O`Guinn says:
::looks at chronometer:: CTO: Have you heard from Ens Rowe or Lt Owens?

ACTION:  Owens feels himself being picked up.  He opens his eyes for a moment and is flung against a wall.

XO_Savar says:
CO: Captain, this situation is getting moderately out of hand.
TO_Rowe says:
::as he is unconcious he remembers the hidious beast::
CSO_Singh says:
::Considers:  Smell is given off by molecules floating in the air.  Fact:  We saw and smelled something.  Fact:  The sensors can not pick it up.  Fact:  We are missing a statue and nothing else.  Fact:  No one thing can possess that variation of DNA.::
OPS_Owens says:
::as an English Gentleman he refuses to scream but is rather shocked just the same as he impacts the wall rather hard breaking some ribs::
