Guest Starring:
Jan as DrTribble.
Gilles as RCO_tr`Raedheol.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
Captain's Log, Stardate 10303.15. Relief and medical efforts are continuing on N'oelia. The first reports of a solution have started to trickle in, and the Romulans twitchiness has subsided. Hopefully things will continue to improve...

Host Gilles says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Resume Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

XO_Rofax says:
@::emerges from the sick ward covered in all sorts of lizard-stuff fluids and scans the room::

CNS_Luchena says:
@::in a sick ward within the government building::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::sits at her console monitoring the AT, the Romulans and whatever else needs monitoring around here::

CNS_Luchena says:
@::watching the patients to see if they improve with the clean food::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Get Rofax...I want an update.

CIV_Brock says:
::Is sitting a console, making scans.::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Aye Sir.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
COM: XO:  Pendragon to Cmdr Rofax.

CNS_Luchena says:
@::wonders how David is doing::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
CIV: Are the Romulans behaving themselves?

CEO_DeRidder says:
@::still planet side in the governmental building - looking over a PADD with some status reports::

XO_Rofax says:
@ *OPS*  Go ahead Lt.

CIV_Brock says:
CO: We aren't dead yet, so I'd say yes, sir.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
*XO*:  Sir, the Captain wants an update.  Putting you through.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  I have Cmdr Rofax, Sir.

XO_Rofax says:
@ *OPS* Understood.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::raises an eyebrow at Brock's very vague response:: COMM XO: What's the news, commander?

CEO_DeRidder says:
@::walking and reading - briefly pauses to converse with an Engineer who comes to seek out instructions::

XO_Rofax says:
@ *CO* Captain, I believe we have made some progress.  The cause appears to have been the bio-engineered crops.  A mutated parasite was detected and may have something to do with the plague.  Dr. Shiar beamed up some samples and we are awaiting the test results.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
COMM XO: Good...any immediate treatments?

CEO_DeRidder says:
@::drops the PADD down to his side and taps his com badge::  *CNS* DeRidder to Luchena

CNS_Luchena says:
@::was just getting up to check on a patient who is stirring.  Taps comm badge::  *CEO*:  I'm here David.

XO_Rofax says:
@ *CO* We believe the replicated food source containing the original parasites may be the cure.  I'm still unsure whether it was the mutated parasites causing the plague or the lack of the naturally occurring parasites.  We are scanning the first patients now.

CEO_DeRidder says:
@*CNS* How's it going where you are?

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
COMM XO: But the replicated food won't have living parasites...any plans for that?

CNS_Luchena says:
@*CEO*:  It's hell.  I'm covered in puke and blood, and I'm sitting in a room full of dying creatures.

XO_Rofax says:
@ *CO* I'm hoping we can begin replicating some Captain.  We have the information on the bio-engineered parasites and hope someone up there can reverse the process, Captain.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::has a thought:: CO:  Captain, I have an idea.  Could we re-program the transporters to remove the parasite from the food source?

DrTribble says:
::in lab, searching for answers.  The truth is there somewhere.::

DrTribble says:
::analyzes samples::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: You mean filter their existing food supply through the transporters? Probably, but what if the modified food itself turns out to be part of the problem?

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: A sensor blip appears quickly on sensors only to disappear a second later.

CEO_DeRidder says:
@::sighs::  *CNS* I hear ya....   You gonna be alright?  Things are slowing down a bit for me...  Food distribution is getting smoother as the minutes go by.

XO_Rofax says:
@ ::moves over to scan one of the first patients fed with the replicated food for signs of improvement::

CIV_Brock says:
::Sees the blip:: Self: What was that?

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
COMM XO: Good...keep me informed.

XO_Rofax says:
@ *CO* Aye Captain. Rofax out.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Maybe ... but the engineering mutated an existing organism ...

CNS_Luchena says:
@*CEO*:  I'm fine.  We are doing all we can, right?

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::ears perk up:: CIV: What was what?

CIV_Brock says:
CO: A blip. ::Shrugs.::

XO_Rofax says:
@ ::crosses to the CNS::  CNS: Mikal, how are things?  You holding up?

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: I'll keep that in mind, but it seems risky at the moment, when we know that what we're replicating is safe.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:   The transporters bio-filters should be able to remove the parasite.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
CIV: A....blip? Can you be more specific?

CEO_DeRidder says:
@*CNS* Yeah...  ::pauses and looks at the PADD then drops it to his side again::  I suppose so... 

CIV_Brock says:
CO: Give me a minute, and I'll see, sir.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Yes, I understand that. But what advantage is that over the food we're manufacturing? It's keeping the transporters busy as is.

DrTribble says:
::compares samples against known diseases::

CNS_Luchena says:
@XO:  Good Sir.  ::looks around at the beds::  XO:  Do these people seem any better to you?

XO_Rofax says:
@ CNS: I'm scanning, but I can't tell if they are or not.  ::tries scanning again::

CIV_Brock says:
::Does a check on the "blip".:: CO: It was too fast, I can't get a complete analysis on whatever it was...

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The Pendragon is hailed.... which is quite strange considering that the hail is coming from in the system and nothing is on sensors.

CNS_Luchena says:
@::lays a hand on one's forehead and closes his eyes::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Sir, we're being hailed ...

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::nods:: CIV: Stay alert.

XO_Rofax says:
@ CNS: One thing I am not sure what to do about yet.... what about the eggs?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::gets ready to put the hail on-screen on the Captain's orders::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::keeps the eyebrow up:: OPS: Put them on.

CIV_Brock says:
::Thinks- Great, another problem...::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::puts the hail on-screen:: CO:  On-screen, Sir.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::eyes the screen warily::

CNS_Luchena says:
@XO:  I'd forgotten all about them Sir.  How long until they hatch?  Do you remember?

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The hail causes a feedback in the OPS console. The smell of burnt circuits begin to fill the bridge

XO_Rofax says:
@ CNS: Six days if I remember correctly.  ::ticks off the days as best he can remember::    Have you seen the Doctor?

CEO_DeRidder says:
@*CNS* I'm headed over to where you guys are...  There’s not another beam down of any food for another 15 minutes or so...  

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::sniffs:: SELF: What the...?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::jumps back as the console sparks ... waves the smoke away::

DrTribble says:
::tests a theory on a computer simulation::

CNS_Luchena says:
@XO:  He took some samples up to the ship.  Maybe we should get another doctor down here.

CIV_Brock says:
::Gets a whiff of the burnt...:: Self: Uggg, it smells like an animal just got fried...

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The OPS console being newly insulated since the last explosion causes the CIV's console to explode instead,

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
CIV: Locate the source of that hail.

CNS_Luchena says:
@::removes his hand from the patient's forehead and smiles::  XO:  I think they're a little better.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::wonders what just happened ... ::

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The CIV in thrown back from the explosion.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::jumps over to the science station to close the channel:: *SICKBAY*: Medical emergency, injury on the bridge.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
*ENGINEERING*: We've lost two consoles, get a repair crew up here immediately.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::moves to Science to try to find the origin of that signal::

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: He hits his the back of his head on a console as he his thrown back.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::dashes over to Brock to check his injuries::

CEO_DeRidder says:
@::enters the medical triage center where Rofax and Luchena are::

XO_Rofax says:
@ CNS: I believe you're right.  ::checks scans again::  We need to eliminate the bio-crops.... it's killing them.

DrTribble says:
::goes to bridge::

CIV_Brock says:
::Is on the ground, extra crispy, and unconscious...::

DrTribble says:
::runs med. tricorder over Brock::

CNS_Luchena says:
@::nods::  XO:  And we needs to find a seed supply from the original plant.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::is impressed with the speed with which the doctor arrived on the bridge::

Host Cathy_ says:
Action: The patient's are making a  definite improvement.

CEO_DeRidder says:
<EO_Haywood_U_Buzzoff> *CO* We see it on the board Captain...   Mobilizing a damage control team

CNS_Luchena says:
@::notices David come in::

XO_Rofax says:
@ CEO: Hey Chief.  Any chance we can mass-produce the original crop?

CNS_Luchena says:
@~~~CEO:  Am I ever glad to see you.~~~

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::goes to another station and ties into tactical for a read on the situation::

CEO_DeRidder says:
@::walks over to Rofax and Luchena::  XO: I don't see why not...   Personally, I don't see why we couldn't use the transporters on the Pen to just remove the parasite actually.... 

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Sir, I can't locate the origin of that signal.

DrTribble says:
::applies painkiller to Brock.   Finds bruises, which she treats.   Nothing else major to treat::

DrTribble says:
Brock: How do you feel now?

CEO_DeRidder says:
@~~~CNS: Me too!! I am SOOO Tired~~~ ::smiles to the CNS::

CNS_Luchena says:
@CEO:  That's assuming the mutated parasites are causing the illness.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Keep trying. ::keeps trying herself::

CNS_Luchena says:
@::smiles in return::

Host Cathy_ says:
Action: The Romulan ship shimmers into view::

XO_Rofax says:
@ CEO: Unfortunately, I don't know if it's the crop or the parasites.  I'd rather eliminate both.

CEO_DeRidder says:
@::shrugs:: XO: I'm no biochemist, but I'd wager on it.....  It's the only thing that anyone can see that is not on the norm as it were...

DrTribble says:
::applies dermal regenerator to burns::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::sees the Rommie ship:: CO:  Sir!  Romulan vessel just decloaked!

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::spots the Romulans on tactical sensors::

Host Cathy_ says:
Action: Although the planet's ill are improving, many are still dying.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Red alert. Hail them on the backup systems.

CNS_Luchena says:
@XO/CEO:  We need some real food.

Host Cathy_ says:
Action: the CIV is not unconscious, just dazed.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::initiates Red Alert::

DrTribble says:
:: applies tri-ox compound with hypospray to Brock, to help him regain his ability to speak::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
COM:Romulans: Romulan vessel, this is the Federation Starship Pendragon.  Please respond.

XO_Rofax says:
@ CEO/CNS: Agreed.  Do we know where the nearest food-processing center is?  Maybe we can cut it off at the source.

CIV_Brock says:
::Gets some sense back, he is hoarse:: DrTribble: More pain killers, and help me to another station.::

RCO_tr`Raedheol says:
%COM:Pendragon:OPS: My apologies Pendragon... Romulan & Federation technology is seldom compatible. I am Commander tr'Raedheol

CEO_DeRidder says:
@::looks to the CNS for the answer to that question::

DrTribble says:
Brock:  All right.  ::shoots Brock with more pain killers::  Better?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::puts the Cmdr on-screen:: CO:  Sir, the Romulans have responded.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
COM RCO: This is first time I've heard of the comm systems being so incompatible. ::raises an eyebrow suspiciously::

CNS_Luchena says:
@XO/CEO:  We need to find some samples of the original plant.  Could the ship scan for a large area of it?

RCO_tr`Raedheol says:
%COM:Pendragon:CO: I have had my OPS officer disciplined. He will not make the same error.

Host Cathy_ says:
Action: The CIV goes into anaphylactic shock from an allergic reaction to the drugs.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Stand down red alert, maintain yellow.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
COMM RCO: What can we do for you?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Aye Sir.  ::stands down Red Alert and maintains yellow::

DrTribble says:
CO: I need a site-to-site transport to sickbay for this patient.

XO_Rofax says:
@ CNS/CEO: See what they can find.  The CIV should have something by now.  I asked him to search prior to our beaming down.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::nods approval to the doctor::

CNS_Luchena says:
@::looks at David::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::locks onto the CIV and the Dr:: Dr:  I got it.  Ready to transport.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::beams the CIV and Dr Tribble to Sickbay::

RCO_tr`Raedheol says:
%COM:Pendragon:CO: I believe the human expression is "What may I do for you?" I am offering our services to render aide in this tragedy.

DrTribble says:
::arrives in sickbay, gets nurse to put Brock on a biobed::

CEO_DeRidder says:
@::raises eyebrows::  CNS: Don't look at me!  I'm just divvying the stuff out...  

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::looks at the CO with a "The Romulans are Offering Assistance? look::

CEO_DeRidder says:
@::smiles back sarcastically::

Host Cathy_ says:
Action: The CIV looks really, really bad.

DrTribble says:
::administers quadracorzinine to Brock::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::stays very skeptical:: COMM RCO: We would of course be grateful for any assistance. But you'll understand if we're a bit....cautious...considering recent events.

DrTribble says:
Nurse: Check for any allergies Brock may have.

CNS_Luchena says:
@COMM: OPS:  Jordan.  We need to find a large area of the original plant they make their food from.  A natural stand of it.  Have you located any?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
COM: CNS:  Stand by, Counselor.  ::scans the surface::

RCO_tr`Raedheol says:
%::nods:: COM:Pendragon:CO: Things have changed drastically in the last year in the Romulan Empire. So has... ::pauses::  the opinion of the Federation to some Romulans Captain.

XO_Rofax says:
@ CNS/CEO:  Let's move outside... if there is a source nearby... we can get it here quickly.  ::exits and begins scanning::

DrTribble says:
<Nurse Campos> :Dr.:  But, Dr. Tribble, I'm busy doing my nails.  ::pouts::

CNS_Luchena says:
@::summons a nearby medic to monitor the patients closely, then follows Rofax::

Host Cathy_ says:
Action: The CIV throws up on the nurse.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
COMM RCO: I was referring to events in the last couple of hours. Namely aggressive runs by cloaked Romulan vessels, and not so thinly veiled threats against our presence here.

XO_Rofax says:
@  ::detects a possible source just outside of the city::  CNS/CEO: I may have something...  this way.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
COM: CNS:  Counselor, I've located some in a small plot outside the city, about 5km east from your present location.

CEO_DeRidder says:
@::follows the XO and CNS out - gets a com from an engineer:: *an engineer* DeRidder, Go ahead....

CEO_DeRidder says:
@::conversing, looking down at his PADD, and walking with the XO and the CNS::

DrTribble says:
<Nurse Campos>:   YUCK!

CNS_Luchena says:
@XO:  Five kilometers east, Sir.  ::smiles slightly as he walks::

Host Cathy_ says:
Action: The CEO trips.

XO_Rofax says:
@ ::ironically, it just so happens to be east::

RCO_tr`Raedheol says:
%::shakes head:: COM:Pendragon:CO: Oh... you meant... the OTHER Romulan vessel... the opinion of some Romulans have NOT changed I am afraid

CEO_DeRidder says:
@::trips, dropping his PADD on the ground::  All: DOH

XO_Rofax says:
@ ::sees the CEO fall:: CEO: Chief?!?

CNS_Luchena says:
@::turns back::  CEO:  David?

DrTribble says:
::Nurse Campos looks for a sponge, sees Tribble and almost grabs her, but realizes at the last minute that Tribble isn't a sponge, she's the Dr. ::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::nods:: COMM RCO: Assistance is still welcome, even if we have to stay wary. Did you have anything particular to offer?

Host Cathy_ says:
Action: The CEO is okay outside of a skinned knee and bruised pride.

CEO_DeRidder says:
@::gets back up and brushes the dust off his uniform::  *An Engineer* Just continue as planned, DeRidder Out..  ::looks over to the CNS and the XO::  CNS/XO: Yeah... I'm fine.

CNS_Luchena says:
@::resumes walking::

CEO_DeRidder says:
@::feels a stinging from his knee - looks down to see torn pants and a little blood::  All: Awww Man!

DrTribble says:
::Nurse Campos cleans herself and then checks the computer for Brock's allergy record::

CNS_Luchena says:
@::is getting a headache::

XO_Rofax says:
@ ::nods to the CEO and CNS as he picks up the pace::  ALL: Hurry.  Time is not a luxury we possess.

RCO_tr`Raedheol says:
%::nods:: COM:Pendragon:CO: I offer the Romulan’s assistance in containing the plague. I am prepared to annihilate the inhabitants at your command.

Host Cathy_ says:
Action: The CIV begins to do a bit better.

DrTribble says:
<Nurse Campos> Dr.: The only thing he's allergic to is women.

CNS_Luchena says:
@::follows along massaging his temples with his fingers::

CEO_DeRidder says:
@::rips off the tad bit of torn fabric on his pants and ignores the scrape - trying to keep up the pace::

CNS_Luchena says:
@XO/CEO:  Are either of you getting a headache?

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::starts to answer, but bites her tongue...then starts again, and once again bites her tongue::

Host Cathy_ says:
Action: The counselor is getting a headache.

XO_Rofax says:
@ ::spies the CNS::  CNS: No.  What is it?

DrTribble says:
Campos: Very well. Let's have the EMH treat him.  ::calls the EMH on-line::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::resists the urge to open fire::

RCO_tr`Raedheol says:
%::frowns:: COM:Pendragon:CO: Captain?

CEO_DeRidder says:
@CNS: Nope...  Not me Mikal... You ok?

Host Cathy_ says:
Action: Kerina's tongue is now bleeding.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
COMM RCO: Please tell me you're joking, even if it's in bad taste.

CNS_Luchena says:
@XO/CEO:  I thought it might be psionic.  Maybe it's just an allergy though.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::didn't bite it THAT hard::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::swallows, learning that she rather likes the taste of blood::

Host Cathy_ says:
Action: Kerina's teeth are very sharp, you know.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::remembers that she needs to file her teeth again later::

RCO_tr`Raedheol says:
%::frowns even more:: COM:Pendragon:CO: Surely you cannot let this plague leave this system and spread through the quadrant? The lives of hundreds of billions would be at stake.

XO_Rofax says:
@ CNS: Mikal, maybe you should head back to the ship.  ::looks for a vehicle to haul the food and speed up the process::

CNS_Luchena says:
@::sees a stand of plants in the distance::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::feels like giving the Romulan a piece of her mind ...::

CNS_Luchena says:
@XO:  I'm fine.  I'll let you know if it gets worse.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
COM RCO: Surely you can't believe it CAN go anywhere? The people are immobile, and we're certainly not removing them from the system. On top of which, effective treatment has already begun.

DrTribble says:
::sees Brock's bio-signs settle down and returns to work on the samples::

XO_Rofax says:
@ ::nods as he continues looking for a tractor-like thing::

DrTribble says:
Brock:  Rest will do you good.

CEO_DeRidder says:
@::follows along::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
COM RCO: And unless some basic rules of genetics have drastically changed lately, it can't infect other races anyway.

Host Cathy_ says:
Action: There is a small field ahead. The field contains plants that have been left unaltered. In the barn is a small tractor with a hay wagon attached.

DrTribble says:
::Nurse Campos returns to her beautifully manicured nails::

XO_Rofax says:
@ CEO/CNS:  See that?  ::points::

CEO_DeRidder says:
@::sees the barn::  All: Bingo!

CNS_Luchena says:
@::rushes out into the field::

RCO_tr`Raedheol says:
%::looks completely taken aback:: COM:Pendragon:CO: But surely their will be profiteers, coming in ships... and their ship come become infected. I have seen disease spread from planet to planet especially with the massive colonization the Humans have done.

CNS_Luchena says:
@::pulls up a plant and puts it in a sample container::

XO_Rofax says:
@ CNS/CEO: Gather all you can.... I'm going to make haste on the bio-crops.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::watching the Romulan ... barely containing her anger at his suggestion ... ::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::smiles in a way not dissimilar to how a shark might grin:: COM RCO: Have you studied any genetics at all? The only species this disease can infect are N'oelians.

CEO_DeRidder says:
@::begins to start picking the plants - coughs a bit and clears throat a couple times::

CNS_Luchena says:
@::puts the container on the ground in front of him::  COM:  OPS:  There's a sample two feet in front of me.  Please transport it directly to the biology lab and mark it priority.

CNS_Luchena says:
@::pulls up another plant::

DrTribble says:
Brock:  If you're up to it, would you like to assist me in sickbay with these samples?

XO_Rofax says:
@  ::removes tricorder and phaser, searching for bio-engineered crops in the vicinity::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
COM:  CNS:  Stand-by.  ::locks onto the sample:: CO:  Captain, We have further samples the AT wants to beam back.  Permission to do so?

CEO_DeRidder says:
@::coughs more, pausing and kneeling till it passes::

CNS_Luchena says:
@::scans the plant::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::nods at OPS with a "do it quick" gesture::

Host Cathy_ says:
Action: The sample is transported.

CIV_Brock says:
::Sits up slowly.:: DrTribble: Samples!? Do you even know what I do here!?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::transports the samples aboard::

XO_Rofax says:
@ CEO/CNS: You two going to be okay?  I'm going to continue searchi.......   ::drops to a knee, feeling exhausted::

Host Cathy_ says:
Action: The CIV sat up too fast and is now dizzy.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::re-raises the shields hurriedly::

RCO_tr`Raedheol says:
%::folds arms:: COM:Pendragon:CO: Captain... Captain... with the enormous amount of inter-breading the Federation has begun ::his face begins to look like he ate something sour:: I find it possible for disease to be spread from one species to another. To not take that possibility into account is suicide !

CNS_Luchena says:
@::looks over at Rofax::  XO:  Sir!  ::Hurries over::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::explodes:: Self:  Inter-breeding!

DrTribble says:
Brock: Perhaps you are not well enough even for that.  Please lie down and rest.

Host Cathy_ says:
Action: The interbred bridge crew appears unhappy.

XO_Rofax says:
@ ::reaches for Mikal's arm::  CNS: How long have we been going at this?

CEO_DeRidder says:
@::looks over and sees Rofax on his knee, goes over to see what's wrong, still trying to clear throat::

DrTribble says:
::receives the new samples and begins analyzing them::

CNS_Luchena says:
@XO:  Just a few minutes Sir.  What's the matter?

CIV_Brock says:
DrTribble: How about I go back to the bridge and do my job, and do you have anything for dizziness that WON'T kill me.

CEO_DeRidder says:
@::begins to look around::  CNS/XO: I gotta find some water... Like now....

XO_Rofax says:
@ CNS: I'm very tired.  Unusually so.  I feel as if we have been here a week.....  ::tries to stand::

DrTribble says:
Nurse Campos: Please sedate our patient.  He needs rest.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::almost growls, then speaks very coldly and flatly, like a Vulcan that has determined that war might be about to become quite logical:: COMM RCO: Our medical staff has deemed this disease noncontagious to non-N'oelian species. And an attack on the defenseless populace of N'oelia will not be allowed.

CIV_Brock says:
Campos: Get away from me, She-devil!!

CNS_Luchena says:
@::looks alarmed::  CEO:  David?  COM:  OPS:  Beam the AT back to the government building.

CIV_Brock says:
::Falls off the biobed with the excitement.::

CNS_Luchena says:
@::frantically grabs an armful of the plant::

CEO_DeRidder says:
@::looks to the CNS and grabs is little armful that he picked::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
COM: CNS:  Locking on.  ::locks onto the team and beams them back to the building::

XO_Rofax says:
@ CNS: Mikal, can you arrange for the remainder of the crop to be processed?

DrTribble says:
::Nurse Campos, being a former wrestling champ, easily returns Brock to his bed and applies restraints::

Host Cathy_ says:
Action: The team arrives back at the building.

CNS_Luchena says:
@XO:  Are you feeling any better Sir?

RCO_tr`Raedheol says:
%::scowls:: COM:Pendragon:CO: I did not threaten any such action Captain. I simply wish to SAVE lives. Is it not one of you're own Vulcan sayings "The needs of the many out weight the needs of the few?"

Host Cathy_ says:
Action: The CIV loses the match.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::has her finger quietly hovering over the "initiate red alert" controls::

XO_Rofax says:
@ ::re-materializes at the building::  CNS: Only when I know the N'oelians are on the mend.  ::finds a place to sit as he opens a ration::

DrTribble says:
*CO* I have very interesting news.  The samples indicate the plants are normal and can be replicated.

Host Cathy_ says:
Action: The OPS officer notices her panel is blinking.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::sees the panel blinking and has a look::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::displays her ears proudly:: COMM RCO: I am not Vulcan, but that adage indeed fits. The needs of the N'oelians outweigh the paranoid desires of the few on your own ship!

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Captain, I'm picking up 3 ships ... they read as Federation transports.

CIV_Brock says:
Campos: Sedate me, and I'll kill you...

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Hail them.

Host Cathy_ says:
Action: The Federation transport ships Masters, Johnson, and Westheimer are arriving.

CEO_DeRidder says:
@XO: Perhaps you should head back to the ship yourself... If this is so unusual for you....

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::hails the transports::

CNS_Luchena says:
@CEO:  David?  Are you well enough to arrange for food processing to resume?  They'll have to save a lot of seeds though.

Host Cathy_ says:
Action: The CIV is sedated and passes out.

XO_Rofax says:
@ CEO: Not yet Chief.  Any chance we can isolate the cargo transporters to gather the rest for processing?

RCO_tr`Raedheol says:
%::looks back at his CTO:: COM:Pendragon:CO: Captain.. as I told you the first profiteers are now arriving

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Identity of the ships coming through .... the Masters, the Johnson and the Westheimer.

CNS_Luchena says:
@::wanders off with the plants looking for a kitchen or something::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
COMM RCO: Starfleet does not have profiteers.

CEO_DeRidder says:
@CNS/XO: Yes on both accounts...   Food processing is continuing as we speak.  And I can use the Cargo transporters to harvest the rest of that crop.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Good. Make the appropriate task assignments.

XO_Rofax says:
@ ::nods and finds a quiet place to sit and scan himself::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::nods and turns back to her console ... ::

CNS_Luchena says:
@::finds what he was looking for and begins grinding up the plants::

Host Cathy_ says:
Action: The Pendragon has successfully started the planet on the long path to recovery. The Federation transport ships have begun to restore the food supply to the planet.

RCO_tr`Raedheol says:
%::laughs:: COM:Pendragon:CO: I met this Federation profiteer named Harcourt Fenton Mudd the 3rd.. he is quite a profiteer I assure you

RCO_tr`Raedheol says:
%::sighs:: COM:Pendragon:CO: I shall be wait to hear that the plague is contained before allowing any ships to leave this system ::closes channel::

Host Cathy_ says:
Action: The crew has beamed back on board, the Romulan ship has pulled back as the ship begins to ready itself for departure.

Host Cathy_ says:
Action: The crew is being hailed as heroes.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::thinks that name sounds historically familiar, but can't quite place it:: COMM RCO: Sure, individual Federation citizens. But as I already said, these are Starfleet cargo ships.

CNS_Luchena says:
XO/CEO:  I need a shower.

XO_Rofax says:
CNS: You deserve it.  I expect a full report by 1800 tomorrow evening.

CEO_DeRidder says:
::takes a whiff of the air::  CNS: Yes... 

CNS_Luchena says:
::heads to his quarters for a long hot sonic shower and clean uniform::

XO_Rofax says:
CEO/CNS: Excellent work Gentlemen.

DrTribble says:
Brock:  If I had a hand, I would shake yours.  Welcome to Pendragon.  We are all being hailed as heroes, including you.   You are free to go.

CNS_Luchena says:
::waves in acknowledgement as he walks away::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Sir, the AT is back onboard.  We can depart on your order.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::<insert many things here about science, engineering, and medical teams being on the SF transports with orders to relieve the Pendragon, and other end-tying-up-stuff, and finishing arguing with the Romulans:: OPS: Lay in a course for SB 78.

CEO_DeRidder says:
::begins to exit out towards engineering:: XO: Of course it was...  Would you expect anything else?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::sets course:: CO:  Course laid in, Sir.

CNS_Luchena says:
~~~CEO:  Want to join me for a shower?~~~

XO_Rofax says:
CEO: On any other day..... perhaps Chief.  ::exits for sickbay::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::huffs:: OPS: Engage, warp six.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Warp six, aye.  ::engages engines::

Host Cathy_ says:
Action: The Romulan ship suddenly appears in front of the ship.

CEO_DeRidder says:
::pauses as he hears the CNS::  ~~~CNS: THAT sounds like an excellent idea... ~~~  ::smiles and runs off in the other direction towards the CNS::

CNS_Luchena says:
::slows his pace::

CIV_Brock says:
::Smug:: DrTribble: Just let me out this death trap Sickbay.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::suddenly brings the ship to all stop as the Rommie ship re-appears:: CO:  Sir!

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::does growl:: OPS: Red alert, target their weapon systems.

Host RCO_tr`Raedheol says:
%:COM:Pendragon:CO: Pendragon.... we have detected the plague aboard your vessel... I order you to remain in this system.
