CMO_Kymar says:
::grumbles as he heads to Cargo Bay 2::
ACO_Q`tor says:
::Standing on the bridge:: All: Status reports
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::sitting at SCI I on the bridge, activating long range sensors::
FCO_Wake says:
:: at helm watching over course and speed ::
CNS_Suder says:
::::sitting on a biobed in Sickbay, trying to figure out how she got here::
CIV_Walker says:
::On deck two, making his way to the bridge::
CMO_Kymar says:
::arrives at the Cargo Bay and watches over the preparations for the possible evacuations:: Self: They give me one cargo bay....one! :;grumbles again as he finishes his inspection of the facilities::
FCO_Wake says:
ACO: We are a few minutes out closing at maximum warp.
CNS_Suder says:
::::looks down, realizes she's in one of those horrible sick-bay green stripy things and cringes:: Self: I hate these things... ::hops off the bio-bed and finds her blue body suit in a drawer. Changes behind a screen::
ACO_Q`tor says:
FCO: Status of the cloak?
CIV_Walker says:
::walks quickly up the stairs to Deck one and enters the bridge, aft hatch::
CMO_Kymar says:
::the voice in his start starts snickering "What a rag-tag bunch of infants you have for a medical staff, I think there is one over there who is 16" The voice snickers again, louder this time::
FCO_Wake says:
ACO: Sir, cloak is at full operating status.
CNS_Suder says:
::::slips out of Sickbay and heads into a Turbo-lift:: TL: Bridge...
ACO_Q`tor says:
::sees Mr. Walker enter the bridge:: CIV: Mr. Walker I need you to handle OPS for the time being
FCO_Wake says:
ACO: We are in range, dropping out of warp, going to impulse engines.
CMO_Kymar says:
:;finishes his inspection and heads back for Sickbay::
CIV_Walker says:
::Stands for a moment at the aft area then makes his way forward as Q'tor speaks, frowning a little:: ACO: I thought I was supposed to be helping science?

CNS_Suder says:
::Wraps her arms around her waist and leans against the TL wall, smiling to herself...expression suddenly changes to one of serious worry:: Self: Oh no... ::TL doors open and she exits:: XO; Sir...those people...I think they're on the station, they're terrified. Something must be happening ::looks frantic::
ACO_Q`tor says:
FCO: Remain cloaked, keep weapons hot, and on standby
CMO_Kymar says:
::thinks for a moment and changes his mind as he feels the ship slow to impulse:: TL: Bridge
CSO_Lorenzo says:
ACO: I'm reading the Starbase now Sir.
ACO_Q`tor says:
CNS: Can you tell me what is happening?
CIV_Walker says:
::Stands at ops, pressing a few buttons and stares at the new counselor as she graces the bridge with her presence::
FCO_Wake says:
:: brings weapons hot ::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
ACO: Scans indicate bio readings... lots of them.  No signs of anything else there, no strange phenomena.
CNS_Suder says:
::looks around desperately:: XO; I...I don’t know, sir...give me a minute ::sits gingerly down in her seat to the side of The Big Chair and falls silent::
ACO_Q`tor says:
CSO: can you get anything on what's going on over there?
CMO_Kymar says:
::steps out of the TL and adjusts his belt and coat. Looking down he sees the counselor out of bed and working before glaring at her back::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::attempts to access the Starbase's systems::
ACO_Q`tor says:
CIV: Any sign of any other vessels in the area?
CSO_Lorenzo says:
ACO: Nothing unusual so far.  The Starbase has one deck less than most starbases and is commanded by a Captain Rachael Lancaster.  Remote access to the Starbase is unavailable at this time.
CNS_Suder says:
::growls and look up at XO:: XO: I can't get beyond the total panic, sir...these people are afraid for their lives. We need to get in there! ::still rather worried looking::
CIV_Walker says:
ACO: Checking.. ::Checks sensors for any signatures and comm traffic in the area::
FCO_Wake says:
::plots an escape vector and evasives just in case ::
ACO_Q`tor says:
CSO: Can you contact them?
CMO_Kymar says:
:;steps back and watches the information getting thrown about, keeping a space in the back of his head to yell at their counselor about her not being a CMO anymore::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::tries hailing the Starbase::

CIV_Walker says:
ACO: Looks like we have nothing beyond your every-day freighter, nothing that could be of any threat whatsoever.. Comms are clean from what I get.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
ACO: The starbase was badly constructed Sir.  It could be something as simple as a down comm link.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
ACO: No communications Commander.
ACO_Q`tor says:
CSO: Then why are those people so terrified?
ACO_Q`tor says:
CSO: Any sign of hostile intruders on board?
CNS_Suder says:
::looks up again:: CSO: It's more than that, Sir...
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::rechecks for alien bio readings..::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::nods at Suder::
CNS_Suder says:
::bites her lip, and wonders what the doctor is doing::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
ACO: None that we can detect Sir.  There is however evidence of a lot of weapons fire on the station.  They are all Starfleet signatures though, no foreign technology present.
CIV_Walker says:
ACO: Maybe we should just knock..
CNS_Suder says:
CSO/ACO: Someone could have gotten into the stations armory...
CMO_Kymar says:
:;chooses this moment to give his input:: All: Or they were fighting amongst themselves...
CSO_Lorenzo says:
ACO: I suggest we send over a team to investigate.
ACO_Q`tor says:
CSO: Check for any sort of foreign agent...gaseous, electronic, etc.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
ACO: They have no shields, we can transport over.
FCO_Wake says:
:: sets an orbit around the station ::
CNS_Suder says:
::thinks:: ACO: Might be an idea to beam over a surveillance device first.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::scans the air quality on the Starbase::  ACO: Nothing of the sort indicated Sir.
CNS_Suder says:
::shrugs:: ACO:...before we risk any of our own people...
CIV_Walker says:
::looks over at Lorenzo then back at Q'tor, all enthused, for a change:: ACO: I'll go..
ACO_Q`tor says:
CSO: Very well.  Prepare a remote viewer to send over. We'll follow the Counselors suggestion
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::grins at Walker:: ACO: Aye, Sir.
CNS_Suder says:
::thinks it's nice to see an officer in a command position actually taking advise for a change::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::sends down an order to Engineering to prepare a remote viewer and transport it over to the Starbase.::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
~~~CNS: I'll bet you we still need to send an away team.~~~
ACO_Q`tor says:
CSO: If we still can't see anything I want you to take an armed security team, along with the Counselor and take a shuttle over.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
ACO: Transporters are functioning Commander.
Engineering says:
*Bridge*: Engineering to the bridge.  We're ready to send over a device, transport to be handled from the ops console.
CMO_Kymar says:
ACO: Sir, I have to disagree. The counselor is staying here, she has already run away from Sickbay...
ACO_Q`tor says:
CIV: Mr. Walker...lets send our package
CNS_Suder says:
::looks up and smirks at CSO:: ~~~CSO: I wouldn't doubt it...might be nice to know what we're getting ourselves in for, no?~~~ ::chuckles as a wonderful image of an all-night toga party slips into her head::
CIV_Walker says:
ACO: Right.. ::Accesses transporter control: Coordinates set, energizing. ::Beams the camera thing::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::shakes her head at the CNS::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::then grins at the image::
ACO_Q`tor says:
CIV: As soon as it's transmitting put it up on the main viewer
CNS_Suder says:
::shrugs, in a 'well-it-could-be-fun kinda way::
 
ACTION: The device sends an image back to the main viewer.  As transmission begins, the viewscreen is filled with images.  Bodies lie on the floor, in cold positions.  Fires flare in the background, as a beam drops to the floor, just in front of the device

CNS_Suder says:
::gasps at the image, suddenly rooted to the spot::
ACO_Q`tor says:
CMO: Doctor, I need her....abilities....how about if you went along to monitor her?
CSO_Lorenzo says:
ACO: Well it wasn't a comm link.
CMO_Kymar says:
::thinks for a moment and looks skeptical::
CMO_Kymar says:
ACO: Agreed...

ACO_Q`tor says:
CIV: Is there any indication as to what caused this?
CSO_Lorenzo says:
CIV: Can you clear up the image of that beam?  What is that?
CNS_Suder says:
::looks ACO up and down:: ACO: I'm fine sir...no need for a monitor.
CNS_Suder says:
::is being stubborn::
CIV_Walker says:
ACO: I'm checking sensors.
CIV_Walker says:
CSO: It looks like part of the support structure of the station.
ACO_Q`tor says:
CNS: He'll be going anyway Counselor. From the looks of things his skills will be needed as well.
CMO_Kymar says:
::chuckles quietly:: CNS: Until I clear you for duty, your not fine for anything
CSO_Lorenzo says:
ACO: Sir, I think we are needed over there.  Shall I prepare the team?
CNS_Suder says:
::nods to ACO, satisfied for now:: ACO; Aye sir. ::turns to look at CMO, shakes her head lightly::
CIV_Walker says:
ACO: There's nothing much new to report. Judging by the federation weapons and all the dead people it looks like some sort of a mutiny to me...
 
ACTION: The transmission continues to broadcast these images of destruction

ACO_Q`tor says:
CSO: Aye...take the battle shuttle QanwI'
FCO_Wake says:
:: peers at the screen transfixed ::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
ACO: Transporters would be faster.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::grins then gets up and nods to the bridge crew that will accompany her::
ACO_Q`tor says:
CIV: Mr. Walker, I am going to need you here.
CNS_Suder says:
::trying very hard not to look at the screen again::
CIV_Walker says:
::looks at Lorenzo, smiling, wants to be on the Away Team... remember what fun he had with Lorenzo last time::
CIV_Walker says:
::turns to Q'tor:: ACO: But... but... but...
CSO_Lorenzo says:
CIV: It’s too dangerous over there Walker.
CIV_Walker says:
::Glances at Lorenzo:: CSO: But I wanna  go... besides... you need me..
CNS_Suder says:
::steps up nearer to CSO after grabbing her 'med stash from behind her chair::

ACO_Q`tor says:
CSO: You're right. Use the transporters
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::nods at Q'tor, then heads for the turbolift::
CMO_Kymar says:
:;nods to the ACO and gets into a TL:: TL: Sickbay
ACO_Q`tor says:
CIV: Keep a transporter lock on the AT at all times.
CIV_Walker says:
ACO: Q'tor........ please!
CSO_Lorenzo says:
*TAC* Have an armed security team meet me at transporter room 1.  Bring along some extra phaser rifles for three more.
CNS_Suder says:
::follows CSO, not wanting to go over there, but knowing she has to. Swallows as she get into the TL::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::enters the turbolift::  TL: Deck 6.
FCO_Wake says:
:: Tinkers with the orbit pattern seeing how close he can some with out hitting anything::

ACO_Q`tor says:
::frowns at Walker and his familiarity:: CIV: Mr. Walker, you are able to think on your feet, and I need that here right now.
CMO_Kymar says:
::gets off the TL and heads into his office, picking up his med kit he slings it over his shoulder and gets his phaser pistol from the draw::
CIV_Walker says:
ACO: Q'tor, they need an engineer.. you know I'm the best damned person you could send now let me... please?
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::as the turbolift kurchunks its way she looks at the crew with her... determining their battle readiness::
CNS_Suder says:
::wonders if the CSO sees her fit for this. Has heard she can be a tough customer::
CMO_Kymar says:
::heads out of Sickbay and into the TL, checking his belt knife is still hidden under his coat:: TL: Deck 6
ACO_Q`tor says:
CIV: MR. Walker. If the away team determines that it is safe, and IF they can attend to the Star Base personnel first, then I MIGHT consider sending you.
ACO_Q`tor says:
CIV: Until then the answer is no.
CIV_Walker says:
::Grumbles to himself:: I never get to do the fun stuff...
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::they arrive on deck 6 and make their way over to transporter room 1 to find the tactical team waiting for them::
CMO_Kymar says:
:;steps out of the TL and slowly makes his way into TR 1, looking about at the Away Team::

ACO_Q`tor says:
FCO: Prepare to uncloak. Keep weapons ready and on standby.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::arms herself with a phaser rifle and steps up to the transporter pad to await the rest of the team::
ACO_Q`tor says:
FCO: Wait for my order.
CIV_Walker says:
::Makes a mental note to not get Q'tor anything for his birthday next time::
CNS_Suder says:
::steps in after CSO and looks at the tac team, takes a quick telepathic peek at each, to make sure no-one's too freaked to do this job. Is satisfied and steps onto the transporter pad::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::adjusts the qut'luch under her uniform.. suddenly aware of its presence::
FCO_Wake says:
:: prepares to de-cloak, ::
CMO_Kymar says:
:;steps onto the Transporter Pad next to the CNS:: CNS: Are you sure your up for this?
CNS_Suder says:
::is handed a phaser rifle, hefts it, and swings it onto her shoulder, medical tricorder in the other hand::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
*ACO* We're ready over here Commander.
CNS_Suder says:
::looks over at CMO and smiles a little;: CMO: Doc, trust me when I say I've seen worse... ::blinks::
CIV_Walker says:
::Sits down on his stool with a bored, disappointed look across his face::
ACO_Q`tor says:
*CSO*: Aye Commander. At your discretion
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::nods at the Transporter Chief::
ACO_Q`tor says:
CIV: Mr. Walker...I want to know the second they are over there
CNS_Suder says:
::wonders if the CIV is always such a baby::
Chief says:
CSO: Energizing.
CMO_Kymar says:
CNS: I don’t doubt you, but after your...incident...in my office...I just don’t want it to happen again :;smiles and draws his Phaser Pistol ready::
CNS_Suder says:
::has her tricorder ready and open::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::eyes alert to her surroundings she pulls out a tricorder with her left hand and holds the phaser rifle with her right::
CIV_Walker says:
::Stuff annoyed:: ACO: The transport sequence takes about five seconds in total... so right about ... ::looks at the Ops console:: ... now.

 
ACTION: The away team materialise on the lower level of the promenade, level 15.  It's as battle strewn as wherever it was the camera ended up.  A few bodies, some in Starfleet uniforms, some civilian lie scattered around it, some holding phasers, some with nothing.  The doors to a nearby holodeck lie open, propped that way by another dead body lying up against them.

CMO_Kymar says:
@::pulls out his tricorder and starts a sensor sweep::
CNS_Suder says:
@:: swallows and begins scanning, noticing the holo-deck door and making her way over to it::
ACO_Q`tor says:
*CSO*: Commander, report.
 
ACTION: Small fires burn around the level, with a number of bulkheads lying on the floor, apparently shorn off by phaser fire

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@::sweeps the area with her rifle walking slowly outward:: CMO: Check the bodies doctor.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@CNS: Careful counselor.
CMO_Kymar says:
@CSO: Already on it, Commander :;continues his sensor sweep::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@*ACO* We've got bodies, fire... everything you've already seen Commander.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::tries to locate any live bio readings with her tricorder::
CNS_Suder says:
@ ::nods back at CSO:: CSO: Aye sir... ::still picking her ay over to the Holo-deck doors::
ACO_Q`tor says:
*CSO*: Understood. Keep the comm channels open at all times.
CIV_Walker says:
*CSO* Commander, you should try to make your way to a main computer access terminal, you might be able to use internal sensors..
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@ *CIV* Gotcha Walker.
CMO_Kymar says:
@CSO: They are all dead here, Commander :;follows the CNS to the holodeck doors, keeping an eye on her while closing his tricorder::
CNS_Suder says:
::peers into the holodeck and gasps. Looks up and down::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@::walks over to an access terminal on a wall and accesses the starbase sensors::
ACO_Q`tor says:
::frowns again at the apparent familiarity everyone seems to be showing to each other::
CIV_Walker says:
ACO: Would you like the stations blueprints with the away teams positions super imposed upon it displayed on the main viewer Q'tor?

CNS_Suder says:
@ ::sees a dark haired woman, lying in a heap on the floor, a black cape around her. Has obviously jumped from a great height:: CSO: Commander...you might want to get in here! ::moves over to the woman and sees she has CO rips on her blood soaked collar::
ACO_Q`tor says:
CIV: That's Commander Q'tor Mr. Walker. And yes, I would. Thank you.
CMO_Kymar says:
@::joins the CNS next to the woman on the floor:: CNS: She is dead, Counselor....
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@::approaches the holodeck but remains by the doors:: CNS: Access the ships logs.  See if you can find any clues about what happened here.
CNS_Suder says:
@ ::sighs sadly:: CMO: I noticed that Doctor...it's the way she died that has me puzzled. ::scans her, and makes room for CMO to do the same:: CMO: wasn’t the commander of this station a woman?
CIV_Walker says:
ACO: You're welcome, Commander Q'tor Mr. Walker... ::Puts the above mentioned data on the viewer with cute little Commbadges with pips on to represent each member of the Away team and even a little white glow appearing when one of them was using the Comm, showing which... doing this with a smile of course::
ACO_Q`tor says:
*CSO*: Commander, are there no signs of survivors? Our sensors show quite a few.
CNS_Suder says:
@ ::looks up at CSO and nods:: Computer: what was the last program run on this holodeck?
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@CMO: Doctor: Have a look at Captain Lancaster.
CMO_Kymar says:
@CSO: Captain Lancaster?
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@CMO: What did she die of?
CNS_Suder says:
@ ::stands up to let CMO do his job, rests hand son her hips and waits::
Computer says:
 @CNS: Last program accessed in holodeck 10 was Lancaster alpha nine; Cliffs of Cha'ree
CMO_Kymar says:
@CSO: From what I can tell by looking at her....probably a fall, or maybe something fell on her. ::stands up::
CNS_Suder says:
@Computer: were the holodeck safeties off-line?
CNS_Suder says:
@::looks down at a rather crushed Lancaster, figuring they probably were::
Computer says:
 CNS: Affirmative.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@*ACO* We've found the Starbase Captain Sir.  She is dead.  We'll be moving down to deck 18, to their auditorium where the live bio readings are.
CNS_Suder says:
@Computer: Rerun program...engage safety protocols again ::sighs and waits::

ACO_Q`tor says:
*CSO*: Any idea of who or what killed her?
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@Away Team: Let's go.  We need answers we aren't going to get from dead people.
CMO_Kymar says:
@CSO: From what the last program was, I would assume she jumped....or was pushed....off the cliff
CIV_Walker says:
::Adjusts the blueprints to show the auditorium and the away teams current position on the same screen::
FCO_Wake says:
::cringes he doesn't like heights ::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@*ACO* Looks like a fall Sir.  She'll need an autopsy to tell for certain.
ACO_Q`tor says:
::watching the AT’s progress on the view screen::
ACO_Q`tor says:
Self: A fall? ::looks over at the FCO::
CNS_Suder says:
@ ::wonders why program isn't rerunning:: Computer: Rerun Lancaster Alpha Nine with safety protocols on-line...
CMO_Kymar says:
@:;walks out of the holosuite and takes another look around before locating the TL::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@::turns to leave the holodeck and make her way to a turbolift.....waits for the team to join her ::
Computer says:
@ CNS: Acknowledged.  Loading program.
CNS_Suder says:
@ CSO: Should I stay here or go with you, Commander?
CMO_Kymar says:
@::turns back and waits for the CNS::
CIV_Walker says:
*CSO* there's a turbo shaft near your position, should take you straight to the auditorium almost.
CNS_Suder says:
@ :;scene around her changes. She's now at the top of a very, very high cliff::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@::frowns when she notices the CNS isn't with them, nods at a tactical officer to go fetch her::
 
ACTION: All in the holodeck suddenly find themselves at the top of a very large cliff, made of white chalk.  A harsh wind is blowing, whipping their hair around, and the sun is slowly setting over the ocean, at the horizon.
 
CNS_Suder says:
::looks down and raises her eyebrows:: Self: yup...that'd kill you... ::tries not to fixate on how it looks like that cliff on survival training::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@~~~CNS: Counselor, I'm sure it's fascinating.  But, lets try and save the live ones.~~~
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@::puts her tricorder away and waits for the counselor::

CNS_Suder says:
@ ::sighs:: ~~~CSO: on my way...~~~ ::exits holodeck, leave program running for when she gets back...if she gets back::
CMO_Kymar says:
@::turns to follow the CNS back to the away team::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@TL: Level 18, auditorium.
ACO_Q`tor says:
*CSO*: I'm sure there's no need to remind you Commander, that those survivors are scared, and apparently armed. Use extreme caution.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@*ACO* Aye Sir.
CNS_Suder says:
@ ::walks briskly up to CSO:: CSO: you never told me to go...so I figured I should stay ::shrugs and smiles a little, despite the carnage around them::
CIV_Walker says:
::While he is bored with not much happening, cracks his knuckles a bit out of pure boredem... and it makes them feel good and loose::
FCO_Wake says:
:: pauses at helm, his eyes drooping ::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@CNS: Lets just say I never leave anyone behind.
CNS_Suder says:
@ ::nods:: CSO: a good policy to have...
ACO_Q`tor says:
CIV: Focus on your job Mr. Walker
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@::stands in the middle of the doorway in a defensive posture::
Host Valsaan says:
@::shouts, as someone appears at the door to the room:: AT: Identify yourselves!
CMO_Kymar says:
@::sets his phaser pistol for stun and waits for the doors to open::
CIV_Walker says:
ACO: I'm focused, I'm focused...
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@Valsaan: I am Lt.Cmdr. Lorenzo of the IKS QIb.  We're here to help.
CNS_Suder says:
@ ::looks right at Valsaan, trying to get a reading on her::
ACO_Q`tor says:
FCO: Keep your eyes on those sensors. I want to know the second anything even sneezes within 500,000 klicks.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@::looks around for the origin of the screamer::
FCO_Wake says:
:: pops up startled:: ACO: Aye, Sir!
CNS_Suder says:
@ ::sneezes:: 
Host Valsaan says:
@::breathes heavily, and steps out into the semi-light just inside the door, aiming a phaser rifle at the doorway:: CSO: Lieutenant Commander Valsaan... first officer, starbase 399.

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@::slowly steps out of the turbolift::  Valsaan: What happened here?
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@::keeps her eyes on him, noting the condition of his uniform and the countenance on his face::
Host Valsaan says:
@::still aims the rifle at the team:: CSO: Everyone... people.... shooting randomly, people going crazy.... we haven't seen Captain Lancaster in over a week
CNS_Suder says:
@ ::realizes this woman's terrified:: Valsaan: It's OK, Commander... we are here to help you. Please...put the phaser down?
CIV_Walker says:
::raises hand a little:: ACO: I heard something sneeze... for the record.
Host Valsaan says:
@::takes a step backward, her lip trembling::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@Valsaan: Can you tell me exactly when things started to go .... crazy?  ::nods at the doctor to scan her::
CNS_Suder says:
@::decides not to mention that they'd found Lancaster::
FCO_Wake says:
:: is glued to sensors, finding nothing ::
CMO_Kymar says:
@::pulls out his tricorder and gets a reading on Valsaan::
ACO_Q`tor says:
::looks over at Walker with a "don't push me" look::
CIV_Walker says:
::Thinks about saying "What? This is what I'm supposed to do..."::
CNS_Suder says:
@ ::looks at CSO:: ~~~CSO: Can I try and calm her before we scare her even more?~~~
Host Valsaan says:
@::pauses for a moment:: CSO: Eight.. eight days ago, it started.... someone in operations took a phaser to the bulkheads.... we lost external communications instantly...
Host Valsaan says:
@CSO: How did you get here?
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@~~~CNS: I want answers, her comfort will have to come secondary.~~~
CNS_Suder says:
@ ::takes a deep breath, but stays silent::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@ Valsaan: Were there any visitors onboard?  Or any phenomena you were studying?
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@::looks over at the doctor for his assessment::
CNS_Suder says:
::looks around the rest of the room, trying to get a feel for it while still tuned into Valsaan's emotions::
Host Valsaan says:
@::takes a deep breath:: CSO: No-one.  People just started... turning... I can't explain it... get out of the doorway!  In or out of the room, but don't just stand there exposing everyone in here!

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@ Valsaan: We were ordered to assist you when you lost communications.
CIV_Walker says:
::Gets more bored and takes a moment to check his mail for any letters::
ACO_Q`tor says:
::hearing everything that is going on and still getting frustrated because he can't personally do anything::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@ Valsaan: Was it the entire crew or just part of them?
CMO_Kymar says:
@::whispers in the CSO's ear:: CSO: Malnourished, adrenalin count is high. Apart from that, nothing. She is clearly very frightened
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@::nods to the tactical team to sweep the area::
CNS_Suder says:
@ ::steps into the room, since the open door seems to be upsetting Valsaan further::
Host Valsaan says:
@::backs deeper into the room:: CSO: In, or out.... ::aims her rifle at the door control::
CIV_Walker says:
::smiles at the title of a few of the messages and the sender::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@::frowns:: ~~~CNS:You can try and calm her now.~~~
Host Valsaan says:
@::breathing heavily::
CMO_Kymar says:
@::follows the CNS out, phaser pistol in one hand and tricorder in the other::
CNS_Suder says:
@ Valsaan: It's OK, we have security with us...you don’t need that phaser, right? ::looks calm and serene::
CNS_Suder says:
@ ::takes a non-threatening step forward::
CNS_Suder says:
@ ::..if that’s possible to do...::
Host Valsaan says:
@CNS: I will lower it when that door is closed, and the people in here are safe.  ::twitches her trigger finger a little::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@CMO: See if you can get a blood sample of her and run further tests as soon as the Counselor can get her to agree.
CNS_Suder says:
@ ::nods and waves for the door to be closed::
CNS_Suder says:
@ Valsaan: Now?...can I have it? It's just as long as you have that, we can't help you...you see that, right?
CMO_Kymar says:
@::nods to the CSO, looking around to see if anyone here needs urgent medical attention::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@::steps aside:: *ACO* Sir, it appears the crew of the Starbase lost their mental well being eight days ago.  Still no answers as to why.

Host Valsaan says:
@::throws it to the ground, looking terrified:: CNS: Welcome to Hell.
