[[[[[ Begin mission - Stardate 10106.25 ]]]]

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
@::Finishing up with Olympic director and heads of security.  Has the feeling she has not accomplished much:: *Q* Thelsh to Quirinus.

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Exits holodeck with Sara MacTavish. They are both silent ... for now::

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
:: Routes several ships transmissions to the surface, and awaits reports from Away Team::

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ ::looks at the doctor, somewhat in disbelief:: CMO: I only meant... well... what you think of... ::stops::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::looks at the CEO expectantly::

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
*XO*: Commander this is Vid acknowledged

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@::Waits for the CMO, OPS, and CEO to arrive at the investigation room::

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@::sighs:: CMO: I didn't mean to imply anything.  I was simply asking your professional opinion.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::surveys the crime scene::  Why....::looks around, thoughtfully::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
Sara: So ... we've had our holodeck, and we've had a little too much ice cream ... ::Stops:: ... is there such a thing as too much ice cream?

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
@*Vid* Quirinus.  Message delivered to Directors.  I have little success to report.  They do not feel extra security is needed at this time.  I am ready to return to the Q.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::little confused:: CEO: I'm sorry.. I think you've lost me.  I just want to know what you've found?

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
<Sara>  ::looks up at the CNS::  No

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
*XO*: Affirmative I have a lock on you transporting now ::Engages transporter::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Smiles:: Sara: So, another jaunt to the lounge it is?

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
<Sara>  ::considers it a moment, her eyebrows furrowing briefly as she looks down the hall::  K

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@::looks at her expression for a brief second, and then continues:: CMO: I believe these readings to match your findings... a medical device was used to sever the head.

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Thinks that Lt. MacTavish is going to kill him for giving this girl too much ice cream. Decides that Sara deserves it after all she's gone through. Gestures, and together they head down to the nearest turbolift::

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: Commander Thelsh is beamed aboard the Quirinus as two young girls in skirts walk by

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::Materializes in TR1, fuming at the bureaucratic nonsense of the committee::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
<Sara>  ::scampers down the hallway::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Moves to keep up with the obviously sugar highed child::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::nods:: CEO: Good...  was there something else?

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
:: Routes more transmissions to and from surface::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Enters the TL:: TL: Nero's.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@ ::turns and looks at the wall, squinting, approaches and finds something::  CMO/CEO:  You said some sort of medical device?

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
<Computer> ::Beeps in response, and takes the two of them to the appropriate deck::

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::Exits TR1 and moves to TL::

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
:: Brings the ship about and starts another pass amongst the ships around Presidia::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::turns to MacTavish:: CIV: Medical lasers... 2 of them

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@::wondering what "else" implies:: CMO: No, that is all that I found.  Are you ready to report to Lieutenant Nural?

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
<Sara>  ::bounce::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@CEO: If that’s it, then yes.  I think so.  Ready to go then?

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  CMO:  Surgical lasers?  Do surgical lasers leave scorched dents in walls?

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::Exits on bridge and moves to BIG CHAIR::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::peers at the two scorch pock marks in the wall::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Looks at the bouncing child. "Oh yes, MacTavish is going to kill me"::

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
VID: Cmdr, report.

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
:: Acknowledges the XO:: Ma'am we have attempted DNA scans of the surface with no luck

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::chews on her lip:: MacTavish: Not generally... that’s what the wounds indicated though.

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@CMO: Yes ma'am.

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::Tests big chair, looking for the little booby traps she used to plant on her chair to keep away the riffraff::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::The TL deposits them both on the deck where the Lounge is located::

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: The Two girls sit on a small grass knoll and play patty-cakes

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
XO: Ma'am all comm. traffic is being routed through the Quirinus at this time

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
Vid:: Anything of importance noted it the Comm. traffic?

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::turns::  CMO:  Well, whatever they used was powerful enough to burn small notches in the wall - if it was surgical lasers, they would have to be heavily modified, that or the murderer pinned him down to do the cutting.  I would guess its more like a phased energy beam or something

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
XO: No Ma'am just inquiries as to the progress of the investigation. Oddly no transmission from the Cardassians or Andosian ships

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: A Klingon Athlete approaches the two girls, and eyes them warily before continuing on

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Enters Nero's with Sara, moves over to a nearby table. The lounge is pretty much empty as the main shifts are currently on:: Sara: Here, sit here. What kind of ice cream would you like this time?

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::nods:: CIV: All right then.. I guess we bring it up in the meeting we're now late for. ::sighs::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  CMO/CEO:  In either case, it means that the assassin was technically proficient, highly trained, or both

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@::Checks the time and continues to wait for the CMO and CEO::

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: The Two girls stop their game, and stand up, hold hands and skip after the Klingon Fencing Champion

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  CMO/CEO:  Which means we need to figure out what the motive was......why did they do it.

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
Vid: Perhaps they do not know of the incident yet

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@CIV: Do we?  I'd be happy just having them in our brig.

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
XO: Perhaps not, however the fact we are routing transmissions may be causing some alarm

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
<Sara>  CIV:  Noeyescremrightnowthanx

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::shoots a look at the CEO:: CIV: Perhaps you should come with us then and let the CTO know.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::starts heading towards the meeting area, not looking to see if the others are following or not::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  CEO:  Aye......because if we dont know the motive, we cant find out if this was a lone assurance, or a serial

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::follows after the CMO::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Stops in his tracks:: Sara: Ah, ok. ::Thinks, "Well, at least the Lieutenant won't kill me ... "::

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: The Klingon rounds a building and enters a deserted area of the games, no sooner does he, then he falls flat on his face, only to feel his waist and legs fall on his back

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::sitting back in the CHAIR:: *AT* Away team.  May we inquire as to what you have found?

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
<Sara>  ::skips through the somewhat empty lounge::

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@::stands unmoving for a moment, with a twisted look on his face, then moves along with the others::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Watches Sara skip along::

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: The Klingon has barely a few seconds  to see his assailants before having his skull split in half by two laser beams

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::enters deck B room 1040::

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: The Two young girls skip cheerily towards the Aquatic center.

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Walks along over to her and kneels so he's about the same height:: Sara: So, what would you like to do now?

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::follows the CMO::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
<Sara>  CNS:  Idonknow

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@CTO: Sorry we're late... we found something else.

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@::Looks up as Morgan, Everitt, and MacTavish enter::  *Thelsh*: Give me a moment Ma'am, some of the team have just arrived.  I will keep an open com if you would like.

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@::enters slightly behind the others::

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: A Communication is sent immediately to the Quirinus Investigative team about the Klingon Death nearby.. the area is being sealed

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
XO: Ma'am surface scans for Andzi's DNA is still failing. Perhaps the head is shielded

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
*CTO* Only if y’all have something to tell us...  Report in .... Hold it. we are receiving a report on new death

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
*CTO* Converge on sector 54c... Another body has been found.

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
VID: Scan that sector.  Every life sign within 1000 meters, mark and catalogue.

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
XO: Ma'am Scanning now!

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Rubs his chin, wondering where he can take the child now::

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@CMO, CEO, and CIV: We better check it out, fill me in on what you have found on the way.  *Thelsh*:We are on our way.  ::heads towards the exit::

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
:: Scans sector 54C and routes data to main computer for analysis::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::nods and follows the CTO::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::follows the gang::

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
*CTO* I need an immediate time of death on the new subject.  We are scanning and cataloging everyone within the immediate area and need to know if perhaps we caught our killer in the scan.

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@::takes up a spot behind the four, knowing the doctor will fill in the just of his findings::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@CIV: Mac, how about you fill the CTO in on what you found?

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  CMO:  Aye

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  CTO:  We found two burn marks in the far wall

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
XO: Ma'am sector is completely scanned. Computer is tabulating data now.

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
*CNS* Counselor.  I may need you on the bridge.  We have had multiple... incidents on the surface, and I need a psych profile generated

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  CTO:  I didn’t have time to scan it, but I would wager it was some sort of phased energy blast of some sort.  Highly focused and quite powerful.

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@MacTavish: Is that consistent with a medical laser?

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Was about to take the child to the arboretum:: *XO* Understood, Commander. I'll be there as soon as possible.

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
VID: Thank you Cmdr

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  CTO:  Well, only if the killer held the victim down - and even then it would be in the floor and take a good deal of time to accomplish.

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
Vid: Any chance the missing body part from the first murder turned up in that scan?

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
<Sara>  ::curls up on a couch::

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@MacTavish: Does it match any know weapons signature?

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: As the Team rounds the corner of the building they see the pile of Klingon on the ground.  The body was split in two a the waist, and then the head was sliced down the middle.  All the wounds are cauterized so there was no blood.

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Apparently took Sara to her quarters from the Lounge in record time as to permit her to sleep on her father's couch::

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
XO: Nothing Cmdr. Very odd indeed. Certainly suggests some sort of shielding

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@::stops and cringes, glad he's not the doctor::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  CTO:  I would wager a mid to late 23rd century era phaser or disrupter.  I would say set...::turns and looks at the body::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Finds a blanket, and drapes it over the child, and then stands back watching her. Has the computer lower the lights, and then exits. Stops in the doorway, and casts one last ... almost fatherly glance at her, then exits::

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@::Immediately orders some nearby security personnel to seal off the area and detain any witnesses for questioning.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::pales at the sight but goes to work immediately::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  CMO:  Keep your hands out of his pocket there, Commander....::crouches down with her::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Heads for the nearest turbolift, tugging on his civilian shirt::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
<Sara>  ::sleeps, despite the torrent of sugar in her bloodstream::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::shoots him a look:: CIV: Ok... any reason?

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
Vid: Would it be possible to scan for a shield of some kind?  Something that blocks our scans?

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::notes that the wounds are cauterized.. no blood::

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@::open his tricorder and immediately begins his scans of the area:: ALL: well at least we're early on this one. Perhaps we'll find something... ::pauses, focusing his attention on a flashing reading on his tricorder display::

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@:Looks around the scene and tries to determine from where the phaser was fired.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  CMO:  Just a joke ::looks at the separate body, reaches down and turns over the torso::  Well, looks like our criminals left with something...

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Arrives on the bridge, noting his civilian attire is not exactly "proper" for the bridge, but did not have time to change:: XO: Commander?

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::sees a strand of hair a foot away and carefully retrieves it:: All: I've found another stand of hair.... doesn't look the same as the previous one found

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  CMO:  I would say we have a serial here...

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
XO: I can adjust the scans to block all organic substances. If it's inorganic and is moving that would be our target

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Walks from the turbolift to the XO's side::

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@CIV: confirmed.  it's definitely a medical laser... but modified ::taps a few functions:: to be used with a weapon's power cell.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@CIV: What do you see? ::cranes her neck to see what he's found::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  CMO:  The killer took the family crest....trophy, I'm thinking

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
XO: Commander ... Thelsh, what's going on? ::Looks around the bridge at the junior personnel who are working diligently::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::scans the hair:: All: Its Romulan this time instead of Klingon..

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: The group hears a cheer rise up from the Dinatorium nearby, again the Klingon Champion rules.

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
:: Adjusts scans to filter out organic material::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::looks up startled at the sound::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::lowers voice::  We have a serial killer working here.  Both victims were killed with the same weapon, same MO

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Waits for the Andorian female to respond::

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@::continuing:: ALL: ...it's definitely not Klingon, but it could be from a lot of other sources.

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@::Walks over to the CEO and looks at his tricorder::  Everitt: Good work.  Now all we need is to find the person with that weapon.  Would it be possible to use the sensors on the Q to detect a weapon of that nature being fired on the surface?

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::nods:: And with the last one there were 2 heat signatures meaning it could be two individuals

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::stares at the mutilated corpse::  Why....what’s the motive....why these athletes...

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@CTO: It would be difficult to keep a scan on a huge area like this in the brief second the device is used. ::pauses::  ...but it might be possible to scan for the signature of this power source.

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: A Communication is sent to the Quirinus crew, another body has been found in the Tzenkethi Dorm area

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@MacTavish: I think we can rule out personal vendettas.  This is most likely a political statement.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::stands:: CTO:  And it might be completely random, which scares me much more

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::stands as well, still staring at the body::

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
XO: Ma'am another transmission coming in

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
CNS: We have had multiple murders on the surface.  All are Olympic champions of one sport or another....

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@::nods his head in agreement::

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
FCO: Put it on

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  CMO:  I think we're playing above our heads right now; fortunately, the game is not over

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@CTO: permission to return to the ship.  I believe I can be of more use up there.

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Looks surprised:: XO: My god.

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: The Two Girls now sit silently watching the Orbital Deep water Dives on a huge View screen, hand in hand, smiling sweetly

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
XO: Aye. :: Opens frequency and Viewscreen::

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::notes that the Klingon champion won in the dinatorium.  She shakes her head in disbelief.  She was so sure that he was past his prime::

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@CEO: Very well.  Please let me know as soon as you have something.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::shudders and looks up:: CIV: I hope you're right ::softly::

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::Hears the news of another victim being found.  Forwards the info to the AT::

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@::nods:: CTO: Be ready... you might have to close in on them in a hurry.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  CMO:  Me too ::equally soft::

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
XO: Ma'am. Scans fail to indicate anything unusual

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Silently takes a seat in the XO's chair::

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
CNS: Mathar.  We have a sick one here.  This is all the data we have now.  The AT is gathering more.

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@CEO:I will have a security team ready to beam down in a moments notice.

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
Vid: Blast it to Veknor!.  What good are they if they cant detect what we need?

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@::taps his com badge:: COMM *Quirinus*: TR1: one to beam up.

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Remains silent for a moment, then looks up at Thelsh:: XO: Understood.

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: As the Girls watch the Bolian Diver is sliced into three different pieces by two lasers lancing up from the ground as the Diver nears the water.

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: Screams of agony rise up from the observers of the Orbital Deep Water Diving area.  Chaos breaks out immediately, and security quickly looses control over the crowd.

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: Everitt vanishes on the surface, only to reappear in Transporter Room Two

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Gets a PADD which has information on the three known murders ... the human, the Tzenkethi, and the Klingon::

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
XO: Ma'am apparently no good at all at this point. Without definitive information from the Away Team we have nothing.

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Each time ... a part of the body was missing. Same weapon. Etc. Different hairs found at the scene? A clue?::

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: The Body parts land with loud splashes as the crowds run out of the Aquatic center freaking out

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::Stands and paces....::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  This is like searching for needles in a stack of needles

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
::nods to the transporter officer, and quickly makes his way to the bridge.  judging by the repetitive nature, a few minutes could mean another life::

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: A Communication is sent to the Quirinus about the Fourth public murder.

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
XO: Commander, have we tried running this information through LCARS to see if murders such as these have ever taken place before?

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::pulls out his tricorder and begins plotting the locations and times of the murders, looking for a pattern::

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
XO: Ma'am another transmission. And it is not good at all

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Pales slightly at what the FCO states. Not sure he wants to hear what the news is ... ::

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::Slumps back into the chair:: Vid: What is it?  ::resigned::

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@::talks with some security officers who have been interviewing people::

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: The Two girls sitting in their seats still look very puzzled at the water and then at each other.  Until they see another girl in similar dress across the water, waving at them.  They both brighten immediately

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
::arrives on the bridge, just in time to hear Vid's unfortunate report::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::records the information found so far so as to not forget any of it::

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: The girls meet up and skip off together

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
::without saying a thing, he immediately turns his attention to a science station, making scans for the energy signature gathered by his tricorder::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Gulps, waiting for the FCO to explain::

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
:: Turns and acknowledges Everitt::

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
Vid: What is it, you stone faced Vulcan!

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
CNS: Another murder. This time at the Orbital deep diver competition

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Blinks in surprise at the XO's outburst::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::says a small curse under his breath::  CMO/CTO: We have multiple assassins....unless there is a ship beaming them from place to place

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
::after a few moments scan, it returns nothing... obviously too weak of a signal::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Feels weak::

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
Vid: At the competition...???

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@::Walks back over to Morgan and MacTavish:: Both: Well nobody saw or heard anything.

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
XO: Yes Ma'am

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
CEO: Lahn!  Get me any footage of that event!

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
XO: Ma'am just as the Bolian diver was entering the water. And thank you for the compliment

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Stands up, his legs slightly shaking, and walks over to Operations:: Officer at OPS: Can you take this information and run it through LCARS. Tell us if you find any events similar ever happening in known history.

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::Gives the FCO a bared teeth smile::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
<Lt. Jg. at OPS> CNS: Aye, sir.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  CTO:  Yah, and we have more than one killer - the victims thus would have to be olympic sprinters to even hope to get from place to place

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
::slams a hand against the console, just barely audible by others among the bridge, and then turns around to the Commander:: XO: unfortunately, no ma'am.  I'm almost positive I can catch them next time they use the modified medical laser, but...

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@::Looks at his data pad::  Morgan: Doctor, it appears the has been two more murders, a Tzenkethi and a Bolian.

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
<Lt. Jg. at OPS> ::Enters the data into LCARS to try and find a match::

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
:: Returns to duties and lets the XO vent her frustrations::

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
CEO: Analyze the video footage of the diver murder.  See if we can find something in it

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@CTO: Did they find anything?  Hairs?  Anything missing?

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@CMO: No the Tzenkethi fell into a magma bath.  All evidence was destroyed.

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
XO: Ma'am transmissions of the last murder are flooding the comm links

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
<Lt. Jg. at OPS> ::Finds a match:: CNS: Counselor, I've found a match.

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
CNS: Mathar.  Ideas?

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@CMO: But the Bolian was killed in public.  I suggest we proceed there immediately.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::curses quietly::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::nods:: CTO: I agree... lets go then.

OPS_LtCmdr_Peron says:
@ :: stands by Nural ::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Leans in, and reads the data. Sighs:: XO: Well, sir ... ma'am. It seems this is not the first time something like this has happened ...

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::rubs eyes::  This is like looking for a4 leafed clover in a field of clover...I'm heading back to the ship...::taps commbadge and beams up to TR1 this time::

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
:: Notifies all ships to stand down on transmissions and clear comm. channels::

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::swings around and looks at CNS: CNS: What?  When was the last time and who did it?

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@::Moves towards the Aquatic Center:: *XO* Commander, have you received the footage from the Aquatic Center yet?

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
::brings a tone of intensity into his request:: XO: ...but, we would we need the co-operation of other vessels... their sensors particularly.

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
*CTO* We have.  We are analyzing it now.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::heads up to the bridge::

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
CEO: You think you can track them  or their laser?  Do it!

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Stands up straight:: XO: Thirty years ago on Magellan III during the Magellenic Games for a human Federation colony stationed there, seven murders took place with the same MO, and possibly the same murder weapon. However, no perpetrators were ever apprehended due to conflicting evidence.

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
CEO: Contact the ships you need.

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@*XO*:We are heading to the Aquatic Center now.  Please let me know if we have a description of the assassins.

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
XO: If we could co-ordinate our scans with other Starfleet vessels, or other federation vessels, we could have a continuous scan of the area.  As soon as they discharge the weapon again, we should pick it up immediately.

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Looks at the further information ... and he pales even more:: XO: Sir ... there's a pattern ...

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
CEO: Do it.  You have the full authority of the security vested in the Q

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
XO: The discharge is so brief, it would likely be too large of an area for our sensors to cover.

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
XO: They followed a series of sports ... Paressi's Squares, Sand Swirling, Fencing, Orbital Deep Water Diving, Cross Country Running, Still Rings, and Ultimate Fighting. Sound familiar?

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
CNS: What is it?

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
XO/CEO: Setting up Comm. links

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
CEO: You have comm. authority to all vessels in the area

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Walks over to the XO:: XO: Athletes from four of those events have already died here. There's a good chance that athletes from three of the earlier listed events may die also. We have to get our team to those events.

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@::Moves through the crowd of panic stricken people fleeing the area::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::heads for the bridge::

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
FCO: Commander Vid, could you contact the other vessels and coordinate the scans?  Ask them to tie their main sensors into the Q's system.

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: The Three girls skip into the Transporter Hub and wait patiently in line, braiding each other's hair.

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
*CTO* We seem to have come into some info up here.  Send a security detail to the cross country runner champ

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@::catches sight of the pool, thinks the doctor will need more than gloves::

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
Vid: Locate this champion and keep scans locked on him

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Hopes that they can prevent any further murders::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::arrives on the bridge, and takes his place at the unused Mission Operation station::

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
CEO: as you wish; XO: Yes Ma'am. Locking in

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
*CTO* were any body parts taken form the diver?

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
XO: Ma'am the runner is aboard a Romulan ship, awaiting the event. Apparently it starts tomorrow

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
Vid: Advise the Romulan to place extra security on their champ

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::mutters something to the effect of::  Better hope security gets its act together

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@*XO* Security team is standing by.  There don't seem to be any missing parts.

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
::wonders if this will help matters, and turns to the science station, watching various ship's sensors be available at his command::

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: When the Romulans hear about the needed extra security they immediately cloak their vessel

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Checks the Operations Console, politely nodding to the Lt. Jg. sitting there:: XO: None of the victims at the Magellan games were champions. But the ones here were ...

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
CNS: What was the point of this murder?  They did not collect any trophies this time?

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
XO:  That is because they couldn’t, Commander

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
XO: Maybe it was too public, they, or he, she, it, feared being caught?

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: The Girls smile as they step on the transporter padd and are transported away

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
All: So why the public killing now?

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::looks around, disgusted::

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
XO: Aye. <COMM>: Romulan vessel T'shad this is the USS Quirinus. We have reason to believe that your Cross Country runner may be the target of assassins. We request you place extra security about him

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
XO:  Easy?  Perhaps they are arrogant...its obvious security down there is a joke, so they took advantage of it

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::shrugs indifferently and goes back to his research::

Host XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
Vid: Advise the Olympic counsel that we fear for the safety of Cross country participants and to advise the necessary species involved.

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
::sets up an algorithm to most efficiently making sweeping scans of the area, leaving nothing uncovered::

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
