Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Quirinus is at warp, heading to intercept an apparently derelict Ferengi Vessel.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::on the bridge, awaiting contact with the Ferengi::
CIV_LT_MacTavish says:
::ambles onto the bridge, whistling a catchy little tune::
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
:: At Science One, making final adjustments to the sensor arrays ::
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
::rushes into sickbay as she twists her still wet hair up into a knot::
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
::In Quarters, Thinks to self well now that my stuff is put up I better go see the bridge, heads out the door and to the turbo lift::
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
::lies in couch cuddled next to Harriet::
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
::Turbo lift:: Bridge
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::Notices MacTavish:: Sulek: I think he's happy ::quietly::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::turns to see the CIV and nods::
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
::Cuddled next to Telarus::
CIV_LT_MacTavish says:
::checks into Tactical II, glances over at the Cap'n, and returns the nod::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn: And why wouldn't he be?
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
<Xara Johnston> CMO: Hey... nice of you to join us.  Hope we didn't disturb you. ::smirks::
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
MO: Hey ::leans over and kisses her::
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
CIV: Good morning, Lieutenant.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: Captain. It's unlike you not to indulge my usual rhetoric
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
::arriving on the bridge, thinks to self wow, my first assignment, gets a little nervous:: CO: Hello Captain
CIV_LT_MacTavish says:
CSO:  Good Marnin Leftenant
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: Any sensor contact with the Ferengi vessel?
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
::Smiles:: CTO: Good morning
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn: I would not want you think I was neglecting your human emotional needs, Commander.
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
::smiles back:: MO: Good morning to you too
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
::tries to catch her breath as she smiles ever so sweetly at her friend and soon to be departed co-worker:: Johnston: Xara?  Um.... the phrase 'bite me' comes to mind.
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
:: Taps LCARS panel, checks readouts :: CO: Long-range only at this point, sir. Just bringing the short-range sensors to bear...
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: Why thank you captain. We're about 5 minutes out from the Ferengi ship
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::turning to Ops:: Ops: Hail on all channels.
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
::  begins standard short-range sweep: energy readings, hull integrity, life signs, the works...  ::
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
<Xara Johnston> ::breaks into hysterical laughter:: CMO: Nah, I'll leave that for you’re... um.. Mac?
Host SM_Selan says:
<Ensign at OPS> ::Tries hailing the Ferengi Vessel::
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
CTO: So how are you today?
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
<Xara> ::pauses:: CMO: What do we call him now?  You’re Mac?  That sounds kinda weird.
CIV_LT_MacTavish says:
::stands at TAC II, having fumbled through the login sequence::
Host SM_Selan says:
<Ensign at OPS> CO: No response, sir.
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
::rolls her eyes:: Xara: Husband works.  Or just Mac.  You are such a dolt sometimes.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CSO: Anything on sensors yet?
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
MO: Great because I am with you
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
::stands next to XO Chair::
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
::Laughs::
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
<Xara Johnston> CMO: Whatever you say Mrs. Mac. ::smirks and heads off to make sure sickbay is ready for the usual breakage that the bridge brain trust would send their way::
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
CO: Sir... preliminary scans do not indicate that the Ferengi vessel was attacked. We are still too far away for bio sign readings.
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
MO: I made you laugh, how about I make you laugh some more ::tickles Harriet::
Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: The FCO drops the Quirinus from warp. The streamlined Steamrunner Class Starship glimmers in the light of a nearby star as it maneuvers toward the hulking Ferengi Freighter. It is not a vessel of beauty.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CNS: Counselor, I'm Ben Pangborn, good to meet you ::extends hand::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::turns to Jarvin:: Jarvin: Welcome aboard, Counselor.
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
::Laughs and giggles::
CIV_LT_MacTavish says:
::looks over the bridge::
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
CTO: Maybe we should get to work.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
FCO: Bring us along side.  Kraight: Sensors?
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
CO: Thank you captain, ::turns to XO and shakes hand:: Thank you Commander
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
:: Looks up, notices Jarvin:: CNS: Hello, Counselor. I'm CSO Kraight. Welcome aboard.
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
CO: Scanning now...
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
MO: Maybe
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
::Continues to smile while getting up::
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
::Turns and faces CSO:: Hello Lt., and thank you
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn: Mr. Telarus seems a bit late to duty.
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
::still shaking her head she reads over the latest reports::  Xara: Oh!  What about the newbie?  She show up yet?
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
MO: But your right we got to get going
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
:: frowns as he checks the biosensors ::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: I was just noticing
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
<Xara> CMO: Not yet... ::still busy::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COMM Telarus: Mr. Telarus to the bridge.  You are needed at station.
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
::clears throat:: *CO*: I am sorry sir I ::pauses:: overslept ::thinks it was good oversleeping::
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
::begins to reach out with His mind to see if he can sense anyone::
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
*MO* Morgan... er.. Morgan-MacTavish to Munro.  Your presence is requested in sickbay... if you aren't too busy.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::looks at the captain::
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
::ignores the snickering in sickbay::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Telarus*: Your absence has been noted.
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
::finishes putting on his uniform sir:: *CO*: Sorry sir
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
*CMO*: No not at all I apologize for being absent.
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
MO: Hey see you later tonight then?
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
CO: Sir... there are no life signs aboard the Ferengi vessel. Life support appears to be offline. I am picking up indications of non-living tissue, which may be the bodies of the crew.
CIV_LT_MacTavish says:
::fumbles with the tactical scans::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn: Assemble a team.  Environmental suits.
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
::shrugs figuring the new girl would either come to understand her sense of humor...or run away screaming.  One or the other::
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
CTO: Why not? ::She says smiling as she walks through the door::
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
CO: Sir, so far I can sense nothing yet either
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: I'll put together a team
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn: Leave your comm. open.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CSO: You're with me Mr. Kraight, report to transporter room one:*CMO*: Doctor, you're needed for an away mission to the apparently dead Ferengi freighter. Please meet me in transporter room one
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
MO: Well hopefully Rhi doesn't keep you too much, I have to go though before the Captain kills me and you don't get to see me at all ::kisses her goodbye::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: Understood
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
*XO*: On my way..
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
::after he walks out he decides to use his back up plan incase he is ever late::
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
CTO: Bye. ::She says smiling::
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
Johnston: Xara, you've got sickbay for now.  Don't break anything and play nice with the new Medical Officer!
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
XO: Yes, sir.
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
::grabs her stuff and heads for TR 1::
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
CO: Captain, the Ferengi’s engines are on standby.
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
::activates a site to site transporter to Deck 2, then jumps into a TL and heads onto the Bridge::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CSO: Mr. Kraight, let meet destiny again ::smiles and motions to the turbo lift::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::enters turbo lift::
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
::Starts down the hall towards sickbay while fixing her uniform::
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
::walks on to the Bridge:: CO: I apologize sir
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
:: taps last commands into Science One and moves towards turbo lift ::
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
::walks over to station and activates terminal::
Host SM_Selan says:
<MO_Ensign_Shelmut> ::A tall, lanky male falls in step with the MO:: Munro: Hello.
Host SO_Ens_Sheridan says:
::heads over to science two and takes her station::
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
::passes the MO on her way through and wonders what got her uniform all mussed up::
CIV_LT_MacTavish says:
CO:  I'm detecting no weapons signatures, no carbon scoring;  nothing that would indicate any weapons fire, sir
Host SM_Selan says:
<MO_Ensign_Shelmut> Munro: Heading to sickbay too? I'm Ensign Shelmut. You must be new.
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
SO: Ensign, please keep an eye on those bio readings.
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
::Turns to see the MO:: MO: Yes actually I am.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Telarus: Try not to let tardiness become a regular occasion.  Take your station.  Keep scans on the AT and the vessel.
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
:: enters turbo lift ::
SO_Ens_Sheridan says:
CSO: Yes sir, will do.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
TL: Transporter room one
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
CO: Aye
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
::enters the TR and looks around wondering if she'd heard wrong::
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
::Enters Sickbay::
CIV_LT_MacTavish says:
::does a quick double take, noticing the fabric imprint on the CTO's face....looks like a pillow-line::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::arrives with Kraight in transporter room one::
Host SM_Selan says:
<MO_Ensign_Shelmut> ::Enters behind Munro::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
All: Ready? ::step on the pad::
Host SM_Selan says:
<MO_Ensign_Shelmut> Munro: How are you liking the Quirinus so far?
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
::fiddles with her rings as she steps onto the pad:: XO: When you are.
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
::looks at CTO, smiles:: CTO: Good morning Lt. I am Counselor Jarvin, nice to meet you.
SO_Ens_Sheridan says:
::checks on the readings and looks up in the direction of the Captain then goes back to work::
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
::still not sure what the heck was going on, but hey, she was flexible::
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
XO: Yes, sir. :: takes position on pad next to CMO ::
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
MO: I am really enjoying my time, Thank you. ::She says while smiling::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Transporter Chief: Set us down on the bridge of the freighter
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
::extends hand to new Counselor:: CNS: Nice to meet you as well Ensign
Host SM_Selan says:
<MO_Ensign_Shelmut> ::Nods, and looks around:: Munro: She's a good ship. A proud one. I'm sure you'll do well on her. Provided you don't get killed or anything ...
CIV_LT_MacTavish says:
::passes the latest sensor info over to TAC I::
Host SM_Selan says:
<Transporter Chief> XO: Aye, sir.
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
:: walks over and shakes CTO's hand:: CTO: Thank you
Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: The away team is beamed over to the bridge of the Freighter. Seven dead Ferengi are laying around in various areas. It is obvious they died of asphyxiation.
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
::Smiles:: MO: I hope that’s not for a long time.
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
::after brief introduction to new Counselor continues work at station::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::materializes on the bridge of the freighter::
SO_Ens_Sheridan says:
::moves over to science one and looks over what Kraight was working on::
CIV_LT_MacTavish says:
::runs a quick ID in the Memory Alpha for the Ferengi Freighter::
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
::walks back to stand near the XO's station, Opens mind and focuses on the Away team::
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
::Begins working on a pad::
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ :: unholsters tricorder and begins scanning ::
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
@::materializes next to Pangborn and shudders:: XO: Asphyxiation. ::softly::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Jarvin: Please sit down, Counselor.  Commander Pangborn will not need his chair for awhile. ::indicates the XO's seat::
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
::scans the freighter and keeps scans on the away team::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::tries to access the main computer:: CMO: Let’s try and find the reason they died. The suffocated then. Do you want an autopsy of one of them?
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
::winces feeling the Away team’s emotion::
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
CO: Thank you, sir ::sits down in the Commanders chair, feeling a bit nervous about it::
CIV_LT_MacTavish says:
::chuckles at the Universal Translators take on the Ferengi freighter's name::  CO:  According to SFI, the vessel is the Ferengi Privateer Gollum, due into Andor three days ago, bound from Proxima Centauri with Duranium Ore Processors.
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
@XO: Agreed.  ::starts scanning some of the bodies:: It’s just a guess... I'll let you know in a few minutes.
Host SM_Selan says:
<MO_Ensign_Shelmut> ::Leans against a bulkhead, and watches the MO:: Munro: Well, you never know here. Crazy things seem to happen all the time. Psychopathic Catholic School Girls. Borg. Hell, we've even had Starfleet officers try to kill us.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::queries the computer to find if the inside of the ship had been exposed to deep space:: CMO: Take you time. ::weak grin:: These guys aren't going anywhere CSO: Anything on scanners?
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
@::a bit uneasy:: XO: I don't know, Sir.  Autopsy them without someone's permission?  You sure we wouldn't get charged for it?
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
::Looks over:: MO: We’re Starfleet officers, weird is part of the job.
CIV_LT_MacTavish says:
CO:  Apparently, the Andor Transit Authority processed the report, but they weren't to be declared overdo for another two days
Host SM_Selan says:
<MO_Ensign_Shelmut> ::Laughs:: Munro: No kidding.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CMO: Actually I was wondering the same thing. The Ferengi government might not like it.
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
::Smiles and then puts down the pad::
SO_Ens_Sheridan says:
::works on the console, listening to the conversation on the bridge as well::
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ XO: Initial scans show no unusual energy readings. No unexpected trace elements found.
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
@XO: And that would be new. ::wry smile::
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
CO: Sir, there must be something unpleasant, but not dangerous over there, the AT is a bit uneasy at the moment.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CSO: I have something. All life support was shut down except for one cabin on level three. According to the computer, it was the CEO's cabin ::grim::
Host SM_Selan says:
<MO_Ensign_Shelmut> Munro: So, where were you before you came here? Straight out of the Academy?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
MacTavish: Notify Andor that the ship will not be arriving.
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
MO: Yes actually, and you?
CIV_LT_MacTavish says:
CO:  Er...aye...::begins composing a quick text message for the ATA::
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
@ ::reads her scan:: XO: Medical scans aren't showing anything out of the normal.  They died of lack of life support, sir.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Jarvin: If the crew is dead that would indeed be unpleasant.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@ ::laughs at the CMO:: CMO/CSO: Let’s focus on that cabin. We may find our answer there
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ :: raises what passes for a Benzite eyebrow :: XO: Indeed? We could be facing another case of mass murder, then.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Ops: Have we had any word from the Ferengi home world?
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
CO: indeed, sir ::blushes::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CSO: Possibly...CSO/CMO: This way ::leads:: Be on the alert
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
@::looks sharply at the CSO:: CSO/XO: Oh damn.  I hope not.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Pangborn* Report.
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
@::follows::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::leads them through the ship to the cabin on level three::
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ :: follows XO
SO_Ens_Sheridan says:
::walks back to science two and appears to input the CSO's data on her console::
CIV_LT_MacTavish says:
@  ::finishes the message and forwards it to the ATA::
Host SM_Selan says:
<MO_Ensign_Shelmut> ::Stops leaning against the bulkhead, and begins to stroll around sickbay, glancing at this or that:: Munro: Nah, I've been here for just over a year. Good ship. Well, at least I used to think so ...
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ CMO: By the way, Doctor...please permit me to extend my congratulations on your recent nuptials. I found the ceremony to be quite interesting and beautiful.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
*Sulek*: All aboard have died as a result of intentional asphyxiation. We're investigating a possible lead now
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
<@>
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
::Looks over in surprise:: MO: Used to think so?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Pangborn* Have you been able to restore power?
Host SM_Selan says:
<Ensign at OPS> CO: SFC has reported that the Government is quite interested in finding out what happened to their freighter. I believe they're more concerned about their cargo than the ship, sir.
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
CO: Sir with that I would like with that comment to be allowed to go over and start an investigation into a possible murder, in this case a mass murder
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@*Sulek*: We have limited power, enough for us to investigate
CIV_LT_MacTavish says:
::looks up 'Drunkenness' in the Computer....the response surprised him....the entry reads 'Go to it, and good luck', along with cross-referencing to the entry concerning the size of the Universe and ways of coping with that::
Host SM_Selan says:
<MO_Ensign_Shelmut> ::Turns to her:: Munro: Oh, don't get wrong. The Quirinus is a great ship, and the crew is excellent. It's just ... well, lately I've gotten the feeling that the senior personnel are too reckless...That they're looking for trouble.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Telarus: Let's make sure what we are dealing with here.
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
MO: How so?
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
@::pokes around a bit::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::the three finally reach level three, and are standing at a closed door to the CEO's quarters::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CSO: Scan the interior
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ :: scans interior of cabin, checking for life signs ::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Telarus: If indeed it is some sort of murder, we will need an investigation then.  We do not know that it was murder.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CSO: Anything?
CIV_LT_MacTavish says:
CO/CTO:  Could have been piracy;  perhaps a rival Ferengi captain
SO_Ens_Sheridan says:
::listens to the Captain's conversation with great interest::
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ XO: No life signs within the cabin, sir... but readings do indicate another corpse in there.
Host SM_Selan says:
<MO_Ensign_Shelmut> ::Steps a bit closer in a silent voice:: <W> Munro: I've heard rumors about the CMO, and how she violated temporal laws and the like. That she's a "cowgirl" ... a real reckless person. Same as her husband, apparently.
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
CIV: Possible they are very competitive, but not to that degree. Ferengies are financial cowards they will handle this with a monetary account before they go to weapons
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
MacTavish: All plausible explanations.  The fact is we do not have enough information to form a logical explanation.
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
::Frowning, I can not believe they all died of lack of air, no survivors, at least I don’t sense any I should have if any were alive::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Self: Okay ::hits the door opener and finds the door locked:: Damn! CSO/CMO: Either of you guys good at lock picking?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::notes the SO:: Sheridan: Ensign, I do not believe I have seen you before.
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ :: holsters tricorder :: XO/CMO: Let me see about this door...  :: begins working on entry coder next to cabin door ::
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
@::shrugs and shakes her head:: XO: Sorry boss man.
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ :: muttering :: Almost got it...
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
@All: Um.. And we're absolutely sure we want in?
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
::Starts in a whisper:: MO Shelmut: Well I have only been on for a few days and so far she has been pretty normal, besides there just rumors, right?
Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: The door unlocks before the CSO.
SO_Ens_Sheridan says:
CO: No sir, I'm usually on Beta shift, but Lt. Gleason decided to let me replace him today, so here I am. ::smiles sweetly::
CIV_LT_MacTavish says:
::chuckles::  CTO: Don’t know what Ferengi you met, Boy-o, but they would as soon sell their family to make a quick stick.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CMO: Are we ever?
Host SM_Selan says:
<MO_Ensign_Shelmut> Munro: Of course. But you never know when rumors may prove true ... ::Says with a slight smile::
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ :: steps back, draws phaser ::
Host SM_Selan says:
<MO_Ensign_Shelmut> Munro: Well, I mean, having a reckless CMO can't always be a bad thing ... right? What's the worst that can happen?
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::opens the door and looks in::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Sheridan: I see.  Was there a reason for the trading of shifts?
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
@XO: True.. But when this all goes to pot?  And it usually does... but when does it?  I'd like to remind you those women and children get off nasty ships first!
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
@ ::half kidding... sort of.  Not really::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::Enters the room::
Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: The room is dark. But the starlight illuminates a figure on the ground. If their helmets were off, they would smell burnt flesh and brain matter.
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
@::reluctantly follows, doing the medical scanning thing::
SO_Ens_Sheridan says:
CO: Well sir, I've been down in the labs for some months and I think he thought I needed a break? ::lowers her head trying not to look at the Captain directly::
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
::Stops whispering and brings her voice to a normal level:: MO Shelmut: Well I think she’s ok.
CIV_LT_MacTavish says:
::sighs, thinking:: Self: This must be a Monday, I never could get the hang of Mondays::
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
::But still smile::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CMO: Damn! Don't tell me these guys died of asphyxiation. They're....they're still gooey
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
<Smiles>
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
@::pales and swallows hard a few times as she sees the figure... and what's left of his head::
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ :: enters room behind CMO; replaces phaser, pulls out and activates tricorder ::
Host SM_Selan says:
<MO_Ensign_Shelmut> ::Laughs:: Munro: Well, of course she's okay. I just hope the rest of us end up being so.
Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: There is a Ferengi disruptor in the dead CEO's hand. It appears to be suicide.
SO_Ens_Sheridan says:
::scurries over to science one again to check on something::
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
::Smiles then laughs taking a few steps to a table and studies some samples::
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
@XO: Uh.. No.  I'd say cause of death was the fact that his head is pretty much in pieces.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Sheridan: And what has occupied your time in the labs in such a fashion.  Since I have never had the opportunity to see you before, I am naturally curious.
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ :: looks at corpse :: CMO: This one apparently chose death -- the question, of course, is, why?
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
@::somewhat shaky but having seen worse at the Olympics::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CMO: Gotta love your style. You tell it like it is
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
CO: Sir I believe we should try to make it easier for the AT by reestablishing power to them, they might require a power transfer to the ship.
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
@::shrugs:: XO: Why waste time telling it any other way?
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CSO: Analysis
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
@CSO: Because he knew what was coming? ::speculates::
SO_Ens_Sheridan says:
::doesn't look up and answers in a low voice:: CO: Gelatinous experimentation sir.
Host SM_Selan says:
<Sara> ::Standing at the back of the bridge, her arms crossed:: CIV: Dad?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Telarus: I trust the Commander will call if he needs anything.
CIV_LT_MacTavish says:

CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@XO: There's little I can tell you that the Doctor cannot. This individual apparently killed himself with the disruptor in his hand.
SO_Ens_Sheridan says:
::is really happy the Captain's attention got diverted and continues to examine Kraight's notes::
Host SM_Selan says:
<Sara> ::Glares at him:: CIV: Well, I wanted to talk. And you've been all busy and stuff.
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@XO: I'll see if there's anything in the CEO's logs that might shed some light on this.
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ :: sits at the desk in the cabin and begins working on accessing the logs ::
CIV_LT_MacTavish says:
::eyebrows beetle, heads for the observation room, taking Sara's hand and leading her there::  Sara:  Now is not the best time, Love
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Sheridan: Ahhh I see. And what occupies your attention so intently here. ::finding it unusual that a bridge officer seems to be avoiding his gaze::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@*Sulek*: Captain we've discovered an apparent suicide in the only quarters where life support was maintained. I'm not sure how much more we can tell from here. I'm going to work on getting power back up to full
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
@::keeps scanning to find out if there is anything else unusual about the body...or the air::
Host SM_Selan says:
<Sara> ::Moves her hand away from her dad before he can grab her, but walks with him toward the observation room:: CIV: Don't touch me! And now is  the best time.
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
::taps at his station console viewing internal security, a little bored waiting to see if the AT will need help::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Pangborn* Do you need any further assistance from the ship?
CIV_LT_MacTavish says:
::waits for the doors to close::  Sara:  Now what's all this about, then?
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@*Sulek*:We could use a proper investigative team for the forensic evidence
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
::turns and looks at the SO, gets up and walks over to her work station::
Host SM_Selan says:
<Sara> ::Crosses her arms:: CIV: Uhm ... well ... uh ... ::Looks down, then up:: the wedding.
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
SO: Mr. Sheridan is it?
SO_Ens_Sheridan says:
CO: Lt. Kraight asked me to keep an eye on the bio signs sir.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Telarus: That is your how is it said---cue.  Suit up and take a team.
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
::Finishes studying the samples and begins writing down her observations::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Pangborn* Security is on its way.
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
@::suddenly wants to be anywhere but where she was::
SO_Ens_Sheridan says:
::looks up and sees the counselor:: CNS: Yes, I'm Sheridan.
CIV_LT_MacTavish says:
Sara:  What about it....::pulls out a chair and sits, pulling out another next to him and pats it::
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
SO: Nice, to meet you ::extends hand::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@*Sulek*: We'll be expecting them Pangborn out
Host SM_Selan says:
<Sara> ::Sits down, but moves as if she doesn't feel like having a close moment with her dad. She's getting to that age ... dumm de dum dum::
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
::looks up at the Captain after viewing internal security:: CO: Yes sir ::says it with enthusiasm::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CMO/CSO: Lets head for engineering and see if we can get this bucket of bolts moving
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
<@>
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::carefully punches in a request for Ensign's Sheridan's file on his armchair console::
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ XO: Just a moment, sir. Have a look at this last log entry from the CEO...
SO_Ens_Sheridan says:
:;nods:: CNS: Nice to meet you counselor. ::looks back down at the console:: Excuse me, I have some work to do. Perhaps the Captain needs you?
Host SM_Selan says:
<MO_Ensign_Shelmut> MO: So what are your interests? ::Had been watching her::
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
@::not enthused by the idea:: XO: Um... anyone know what this thing is carrying?
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CSO: What have you got?
Host SM_Selan says:
<Ensign at OPS> CO: Sir, communiqué coming in for you from Starfleet Command.
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
:: plays log entry, which suggests that the CEO had been experiencing delusions of having seen his dead son and having conversations with him ::
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
<@>
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Ops: Visual or auditory?
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
::frowns, moves away slowly, begins to scan Sheridan::
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
::Looks up surprised to find the MO still there:: MO Shelmut: I enjoy a lot of things like... well Skiing and art, drama, also theater.
Host SM_Selan says:
<Ensign at OPS> CO: Audio, sir.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CSO: Looks like our dead CEO was having some kind of waking psychosis
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Ops: Proceed with transmission.
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
@::looks at the XO and CSO:: XO/CSO: Seriously, guys.  What is this ship carrying?  Might it have caused this?
Host SM_Selan says:
<MO_Ensign_Shelmut> Munro: Ah, theater. I love the art of theater.
Host SM_Selan says:
<Ensign at OPS> CO: Aye, sir.
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ :: nods :: XO: Indeed.    CMO: Doctor, perhaps you might check the files of the ship's doctor, and determine if there were other such incidents before the crew died.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@:CMO: We'll check the cargo holds when the security team gets here. Good point.
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
::steps in to TL:: TL: Sick Bay
SO_Ens_Sheridan says:
CNS: Counselor, please don't, I have a confession. ::calls him over::
Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: Out of the CO's armrest, a message from SFC plays ... "Captain Sulek. We have permitted the Ferengi Government to dispatch one of their vessels to help with the investigation, as the vessel is their property. It should be in range in one day."
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::notes that Sheridan's file shows nothing of interest:: Sheridan: Ensign, perhaps you will be on deck more often.  Please continue with your work.  I did not mean to distress you.
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
::Smiles:: MO Shelmut: I love the action and the dialogue in the play.
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:

CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
::walks back over to the SO:: So: Yes, Ensign.
SO_Ens_Sheridan says:
::nods to the Captain::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Ops: Confirm message and ask for transponder signal of Ferengi vessel in transit.
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
::walks into Sick Bay and sees another MO talking to Harriet::
Host SM_Selan says:
<Sara> CIV: I feel like you've betrayed mom. I'm sorry. I know I've been keeping this in, but still ...
Host SM_Selan says:
<Sara> ::Stands up, and begins to walk around the table, holding back tears::
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
@::checks the ship's doctor's logs::
SO_Ens_Sheridan says:
::whispers:: CNS: Sorry about my being so nervous, but all the questions from you and the Captain, well they make me nervous.
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ XO: I'll try and download the ship's cargo manifest. We'll want to know if there are any discrepancies between what the ship was supposed to be carrying and what we find in the cargo bays.
Host SM_Selan says:
<MO_Ensign_Shelmut> ::Sees the CTO enter:: CTO: Good day, Lieutenant.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CSO: Agreed.
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
MO: Good Day Ensign
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Pangborn*: The Ferengi have dispatched a vessel to help investigate.  They should arrive in about twenty-four hours.  Do what you can to gather information and restore power, but do not disturb anything.
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ :: straightens :: XO: Sir! Look at the engineering logs!
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
CTO: Um.. Hi ::She says smiling::
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:

CIV_LT_MacTavish says:
Sara:  ::eyebrows beetle a bit, stands::  Ach, Loove, noo une could hoope tah replayce hur.  ::feeling his scot accent spilling in a little more than normal::

CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
::walks over to Harriet:: MO: Hi Harriet
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
@::doesn't find a darn thing::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@@CSO: What is it?
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ :: punches a few controls :: XO: The CEO is apparently the one responsible for shutting down life support. The security lockout on the command sequence matches his ID.
SO_Ens_Sheridan says:
CNS: I switched shifts with Lt Gleason......well because......I have this date tonight and I needed the night off. ::grins::
Host SM_Selan says:
<Sara> ::Tears streaming:: CIV: But she has. Rhi has! I-It's like mom doesn't even matter anymore!

CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
MO: Harriet I came on business, I needed to pick up an environmental suit. The away team took all of them from the lockers.
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
SO:  Oh, I understand,:: smiles, pats the SO on the back and returns to the commander's seat::
SO_Ens_Sheridan says:

::Starts getting professional:: CTO: Ok I will go get one.
Host SM_Selan says:
<MO_Ensign_Shelmut> ::Watches the CTO & MO, almost as if jealous::
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:

MO_Ensign_Munro says:
::Smiles at what was just said::
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ XO: I think I'd better start downloading as many of the ship's logs as I can access, sir.
SO_Ens_Sheridan says:
::returns to her work::
CIV_LT_MacTavish says:
::walks over and places both of his hands, gently, on her shoulders, forcing himself to think about the words before he says them::  Sara:  I know it may seem like that, Love...
