FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
:: At the Conn completing station reports, and monitoring secure COMM channels::

OPS_LtCmdr_Peron says:
:: stands, looking over the scene quietly, a bit disturbed ::

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
::Enters the Bridge and approaches the Captain::  CO: Sir, was there a murder on the planet?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::on bridge awaiting reports. Sees Nural::

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ ::turns towards the equipment, hoping the Doctor will notice and know how to put it to some good use::

XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
@::Exits the dinatorium, taps comm. badge:: *Q* Thelsh to Quirinus.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::looks around the scene without disturbing anything, sickened by the actions that would cause such a scene::

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
CO: Sir all stations reported in and all systems nominal. COMM is secured. Incoming message from Cmdr. Thelsh

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Nural: Yes, you are needed on the planet.  ::downloads known information onto PADD:: Take this with you.  As head of security, you will have charge of the investigation.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Vid: Open Channel.

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
:: Opens channel: Opened Sir

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
CO: Yes sir.  ::Immediately leaves and heads towards the TR, reading the Padd along the way.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COMM *Thelsh*: This is Sulek.

XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
@ *Q* What is happening sir?  I got the general comm. to report.

OPS_LtCmdr_Peron says:
@ CEO, CMO: I suppose we should find witnesses. Then again, I doubt there are any, considering where she was found.

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
:: Continues scans of all ships in the vicinity for unusual activity::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Thelsh* There has been a murder at the games.  What is your current location?

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
::enters the TR::  Transporter Chief:  Please beam me to the investigation site.

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ OPS: It would be difficult without creating wide-spread panic.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::nods at OPS:: OPS: Probably not, but it would be wise to look anyway.  I'm going to need somewhere to set up this equipment and get started. ::looks at the CEO:: Any ideas?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Vid: Secure this channel.

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
CO: Sir all channels are secured

OPS_LtCmdr_Peron says:
@ :: looks around worriedly, not having much experience with investigations of this type ::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::nods at Vid::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@CEO: There are enough people who are aware that a murder has been committed.  The rumors were flying through the crowd before I was contacted.

OPS_LtCmdr_Peron says:
@ :: looks around :: AT: Did we get the head?

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@::flips open his tricorder and ever so slowly moves around the room, making precise scans::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Vid: Contact AT and notify them that Nural is on his way to lead the investigation per my directive.

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@Peron and Morgan: Well this is certainly gruesome.  ::looks at the corpse and the pool of blood::

OPS_LtCmdr_Peron says:
@ :: nods :: Doctor: Shouldn't we... clean this up?

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::nods at the CTO as she walks closer to the body and does some initial scans of the trauma area::

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ ::notes the body on the ground, and steps around it:: CMO: perhaps this requires your talents Doctor?

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::shakes her head:: OPS: No.. not yet.  Let me finish collecting data, then we'll worry about clean up

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Vid: Notify AT that Nural will lead investigation.

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@Peron: Has anybody started locating witnesses or people who have been here around the time of death?

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::frowns as her scans come back:: All: Apparently the head was severed by a surgical laser, not a common weapon for murder that’s for certain.

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
CO: Aye Sir: COMM: Away Team. Per the Capt. Lt. Nural is on his way to head the investigation

OPS_LtCmdr_Peron says:
@ Nural: Not yet. I can try, I suppose... But the area has been evacuated, so it'll be a process.

OPS_LtCmdr_Peron says:
@ Nural: I think the person who found the body might be around somewhere.

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ ::finally finds something of interest on his tricorder:: AT: I'm detecting something that could be a weapons signature... or perhaps a medical device.  Its hard to tell.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::looks up from her position near the body:: CEO: Have you scanned the rest of the room?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Thelsh* Report to galactic games' headquarters and see what you can find.  They say they have no threats sent but still, they may miss something.

XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
@*Q* Aye sir.  Will see what they have to say.

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@Peron: Who was it that found the body?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Vid: Transmit everything we know to XO Thelsh.

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@::continues his sweep across the room:: CMO: Almost complete Doctor.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::looks back down and notices a hair next to the body.  Carefully picking it up so as to not contaminate it she heads towards the equipment to do some testing::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::nods absently at the CEO, working on the test::

XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
@::Moves off to the Olympic HQ, pulling her ID out of her civvies pocket::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::out loud:: All: This seems to be a Klingon hair.. testing to verify

OPS_LtCmdr_Peron says:
@ Nural: Don't know his name... he might've been detained by the Game Security.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Vid: Run an analysis.  Who would benefit from this athlete's death?

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
:: Adjusts helm for drift:: CO: Sir the all the ships in the area are flooding the COMM bands with messages to and from the surface

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ CMO: I've never known Klingons to shed quite like that.  Perhaps its was planted?

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
CO: Sir acknowledged. :: begins to access LCARS for possibilities::

OPS_LtCmdr_Peron says:
@ Security: Excuse me... where's the person who found the body?

OPS_LtCmdr_Peron says:
@ <Security Personnel> Peron: In the warm-up area at the moment.

Host Karl says:
@ <SEC> Peron: In the Warm-up area...

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Vid:  Remind them we need to keep channels clear.  Establish some sort of rotation that will allow them to contact their people on the planet and monitor all conversations if necessary.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@CEO: Its always possible...

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ CMO: Is it possible to tell if the hair fell out normally, or if it was cut or pulled?

XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
@::Approaching Olympic HQ, stops and shows ID to security, is soon allowed into the large sets of rooms, overflowing with people and equipment::

Host Karl says:
@ ACTION: The Two Plaid-Skirted Girls skip into the Athlete's Dorm area.

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
CO: Aye Sir. Already implemented

OPS_LtCmdr_Peron says:
@ Nural: Shall we go talk to them?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Vid:  Well done.

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ ::completes his scans and tries to reference the signature to known devices::

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@Peron: I will come you to interview the witness.  Everitt: When you are done helping the doctor, would you please check with security to see if any of the nearby areas have security cameras.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::nods to herself as the results support her earlier statement.:: Nural: The hair is definitely Klingon... and the weapon used was definitely a surgical laser.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Thelsh*: Sulek to Thelsh

OPS_LtCmdr_Peron says:
@ :: heads for the warm-up area with Nural ::

XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
@*Sulek* Thelsh here, Captain.  What’s up?

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ ::nods in response to Nural::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@CEO: Its difficult to determine that... the hair has a break in it which suggests it fell, however a break can be created by pulling on a piece of hair as well.

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@Morgan: Excellent work doctor. Please keep me appraised of any further information.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Thelsh* Remind the counsel to add security to the athletes.  One may not be a pattern yet.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::can't dismiss a nagging feeling and goes back to examine the wound closer::

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@::Moves to the warm-up area with Peron::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@Nural: Understood.

XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
@*Sulek* Aye sir... but they aren’t going to like that publicity...

Host Karl says:
@ ACTION: The Girls walk right into the Tzenkethi Heat Area..

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Thelsh* Perhaps they would mind another body more.

XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
@*Sulek* I will be sure to point that out to them sir.  Thelsh out.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::re-examines the area, modifies her tricorder slightly and looks again:: Self: Well lookie here...

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
CO: Sir preliminary results show no apparent reason to suspect any of the assembled spectator worlds of this situation

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@::pulls out a data padd and approaches Karl Tadd::  Karl: Excuse, I am Torok Nural, the chief security officer aboard the Quirinus.  Would it be ok if I asked you a few questions?

Host Karl says:
@ Nural:  Yes...

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Vid: Based on preliminary reports the head is still missing, is there a way we can scan for it?

OPS_LtCmdr_Peron says:
@ :: stands by Nural :: Karl: And I'm Lt. Cmdr. Peron, Operations Officer on the Quirinus.

XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
@::is finally directed to Olympic Security chief and directors::

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
CO: Sir if I had a blood sample I could match DNA

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Vid: Request one from the surface.

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@Karl: You were the one who found Andzi's body?

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ ::references several other traits of the energy reading with the ship's database::

Host Karl says:
@ Nural: Yes..

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::stands, muttering to herself:: Self: Body is still warm... fairly recent.. color and consistency of the blood... ::still thinking out loud she scans for heat signatures::

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
CO: Aye Sir: COMM: Nural. please transport a sample of the victims blood to sickbay for DNA Analysis

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@ Karl: Do you know of any reason from somebody to want to kill her?

Host Karl says:
@ ACTION: The Two girls giggle as they watch a Tzenkethi Male rise from his magma bath

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::looks around for Nural::

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@::Looks to Peron to ask him to handle the message from Vid::

Host Karl says:
@ Nural: No.. this would be here third Olympics... She was gonna win gold for us again

OPS_LtCmdr_Peron says:
@ :: nods and turns around :: *Vid* One moment. ::excuses himself and heads back to the crime scene ::

Host Karl says:
@ ACTION: The Lights go out, and the Tzenkethi Male Roars in pain

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@Karl: Did you see anyone with Andzi before her death?

Host Karl says:
@ Nural: No.. I don't think so.  I did see her go back to the Locker room, which was odd as the game was about to start.

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@Karl: Why did she go back to the locker room?

OPS_LtCmdr_Peron says:
@ CMO: I need a blood sample to send up to the Quirinus...

XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
@::Discusses the case with Olympic security, passing on the advise for additional security and asking about any suspicious happenings::

Host Karl says:
@ Nural: I don't know...

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::nods and hands him a sample:: Peron: I figured it would be needed so I had one ready...  is the CTO still busy?  I have some more findings to report.

Host Karl says:
@ ACTION: When the lights come back on, the Male is flat on his back, with a gaping hole in his chest and his right hand missing.  The Tzenkethi Team just lost their Champion Sand Swirler.

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@Karl: Where you here from the time she went to the locker room to when you found her body?

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ ::pulls up a schematic of the security layout on his tricorder, and walks over to Nural:: Lieutenant: As you can see, there's several cameras in the vicinity, but none outside the doorway.

Host Karl says:
@ Nural: Yes, the whole team was.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::exits the room, looking for Nural::

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
COMM: Nural. Have you gotten that sample yet?

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@Karl: Pardon me.   Everitt: Please download all the recordings for the cameras in the vicinity.  Let me know as soon as you are done.

OPS_LtCmdr_Peron says:
@ CMO: Sorry, but I believe he is.

OPS_LtCmdr_Peron says:
@ *Quirinus* I have a sample, beaming it up.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@Nural: I've something more if you can spare a minute.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::nods at Peron::

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ CTO: do you want it sent to the ship?

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@COMM: Vid: Peron is doing that now.

OPS_LtCmdr_Peron says:
@ :: has the sample beamed up ::

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
CO: Sir the sample is in sickbay. *Lab Tech*: I need the DNA results on that sample immediately. Patch the results directly to my console.

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@Everitt: Please transfer the data to the ship and also allow me access with my Padd.

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@Morgan: Yes Doctor, go ahead.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@Nural: Ok.. I know I said a surgical laser, but I was wrong... it was TWO lasers, not just one.  Secondly, I'm picking up 2 heat signatures near the body.

XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
@::Quizzes security heads and Olympics directors about anything they can remember::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@Nural: I'm thinking that we dont have one murderer, but two.

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ ::smirks, and wonders if this promotion was an assistant position:: CTO: Right away.

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
CO: Sir I have the DNA results and beginning surface scans now for a match

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Vid: Start in the stadium vicinity and work your way out through the Galactic village.

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@Morgan: Hopefully the security cameras will identify the two suspects.  Good work Doctor.

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
CO: Aye Sir.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@Nural: I was also wondering if we shouldn't send the hair sample to the ship for DNA analysis...see if that turns up anything at all.

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@::turns back to Karl:  Karl: It is very important that you try to remember if there was anybody here besides the members of your team.

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
:: Begins scan of the stadium for DNA match::

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ ::logs on to the olympic security network and starts a side load of the data from certain cameras within a certain time to the ship's computer, and makes a note on Nural's PADD of its location::

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@Morgan: Peron was supposed to send up a DNA sample already.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@Nural: A sample of the victims blood.. but what about the Klingon hair found?

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@Morgan: Oh yes, sorry doctor.  Very good, send the sample and if you wouldn't mind please tell Everitt about your findings.  He needs to look for two assailants.

Host Karl says:
@ Nural:  I think there were some people wanting autographs.. Maybe ten or so humans, a Bolian, and a Klingon Couple.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::nods:: Nural: I'll get right on it...

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::heads back towards her work area, prepares the hair sample and beams it to the ship with instructions to do DNA testing on it, then heads towards the CEO::

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@::Klingon, hmm.  Karl: Would please describe the klingon couple.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@CEO: I’ve got a little more information... do you have a minute?

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ ::returns to the sensor data of the energy signature on his tricorder, and looks up, seeing the Doctor heading towards him right on queue::

Host Karl says:
@ Nural: It was a male and female.. Not the warrior type Klingons.. no armor.

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@CMO: actually, I was coming to find you.  go ahead.

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@Karl: What is your position on the team?

Host Karl says:
@ Nural:  I'm the Disruptor, Left Field.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@CEO: Oh really? Alright.. first, I found that the wounds were not caused by one laser, but actually by two.  Second, I found 2 heat signatures near the body.  Combined these lead me to believe that we are looking for not one, but two murderers.

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@Karl: And what was Andzi's position?

Host Karl says:
@ Nural: Lead Hammer

OPS_LtCmdr_Peron says:
@ :: listens to Morgan & Nural ::

OPS_LtCmdr_Peron says:
<EDIT: Nural should be Everitt>

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
CO: First round of scans show no positive results.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@CEO: So what do you have for me?

Host Karl says:
@ ACTION: The Two Girls look in their bag at their new prize, giggle before walking off again.

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@Karl: Is there anything else that you can remember, no matter how unrelated, that you could tell me.

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
CO: Quite remarkable as to how many patterns are so similar

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ ::hmms and hawws:: CMO: Oh... I was just curious if this energy signature looks familiar to you at all.

Host Karl says:
@ Nural: Nothing really... but if I think of anything.. I'll letyou know

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ ::turns the tricorder towards her:: CMO: I thought it looked almost like one that would be emitted from a medical device.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Vid:  Indeed.  It is the proverbial needle in a haystack.

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@Karl: Please do.  I may need to talk with you again.

Host Karl says:
[[[[[ End Mission ]]]]]

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::eyes narrow slightly:: CEO: What do you mean?  does it seem familiar to you?  Whose did you think it was?  Can yo prove it? ::fires questions at him quickly::

Host Karl says:
