CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
:: thinks, whew these logs can be tedious, glad that is done:: *CO* Captain
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@COMM: Kraight to... uh... Doctor MacTavish.
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@ *XO*: Slow sir I have found no reason why the Chief Engineer would have just killed his whole crew then himself there is no profit in that so I am going to have to assume insanity, by what I do not yet know
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Jarvin* Sulek, here.
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
:: Gets up walking forward to the test materials::
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
*CO*Sir, I have just finished Reviewing the Logs of the crew, there are no signs of unusual behavior.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
SO: Ensign Sheridan, you'll be going on the away team with me. Report to transporter room one. *CNS*: Counselor Jarvin, report to transporter room one Sulek: I'd like a Counselor eye on the away team
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn: Of course, Commander.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Jarvin* Understood.
SO_Ens_Sheridan says:
:: works quietly :: XO: Of course sir, but are you sure you want me? ::lowers her head slightly::
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
::Starts writing findings::
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
::heads through the corridors, her not happy mood clearing the few people still awake out of her way::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
SO: Yes of course I'm sure :: Grins :: You'll be fine. Come with me
Host SM_Selan says:
<MO_Ensign_Shelmut> MO: Heya.
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
*XO* On my commander ::oh, I sure don’t look forward to the carnage, goes to Transporter Room One::
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@COMM: Kraight to... uh... Doctor MacTavish.
Host SM_Selan says:
<Sara> ::Runs up the corridor behind the CMO:: CMO: Rhi ...
SO_Ens_Sheridan says:
::nods:: XO: Yes sir.
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::sits at his desk, frowning, sipping at a cup of ice water::
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
*CSO*: What?!?
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
::stops and takes a deep breath, turning to see Sarah:: Sarah: Sarah?  Hey, munchkin.  What are you doing up still?
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
MO Shelmut: Hi!
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
:: heads for transporter room one:: Turbo lift: Transporter room one:: leans against the wall of the turbo lift:: SO: You have been on an away team before, correct?
Host SM_Selan says:
<Sara> CMO: I couldn't sleep. :: Keeps beyond arms length away, as if uncomfortable with the CMO's presence:: I've been thinkin' bout stuff.
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
::Looking up from her work grinning::
SO_Ens_Sheridan says:
::walks to the turbo lift and enters:: XO: No sir, this is the first time.
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::sighs and closes the console, rubbing the bridge of his nose tiredly::
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@*CMO*: My apologies if I have disturbed you at an unpropitious moment, Doctor... but I am concerned about the plans to send more personnel to the Ferengi vessel. Until we know what caused this disaster, I don't believe we can rule out the possibility that the causative agent is communicable.
Host SM_Selan says:
<MO_Ensign_Shelmut> ::Smiles, and leans against a bulkhead:: MO: I heard you went on a date with Lt. Telarus?
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
*CIV*  Lt. I am on my way to the transporter room now, however when I get back I would like a word with you.
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
MO Shelmut:....Yes ::Starting to feel uneasy::
SO_Ens_Sheridan says:
::backs away slightly from Pangborn::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
:: the doors to the turbo lift open and they make there way to the transporter room:: SO: First time for everything
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
<.>
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@ *Quirinus*: Telarus to Quirinus, I need a medical team over here I may have found something in the panel behind where the Chief Engineer's corpse is, I am picking up something on the bio readings but science and medical personal could study this better than I can
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
*CNS*  Eh?  ::checks the clock::
SO_Ens_Sheridan says:
::follows him out::
Host SM_Selan says:
<MO_Ensign_Shelmut> ::Notes her uneasiness:: MO: Oh ... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pry or anything ... it's just that rumors fly and all ...
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
MO: I understand its ok. :: Says smiling ::
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
*CIV* Oh, excuse me, tomorrow please
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Comm Telarus: Understood.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::enters the transporter room with the ensign and nods at the transporter chief::
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
*CNS*  Fine....
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Sickbay* This is Sulek.
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@ *CO*: Thank You, Telarus out
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
*CIV* Thank you.
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::wonders who he just talked to...shrugs and replaces his glass of water in the replicator::
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
::looks around, realizing where they are::  Sarah: Come on... the corridors are a bad place to talk. ::turns back towards their quarters::
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
*CO*: MO Munro Sickbay here, sir.
Host SM_Selan says:
<Sara> CMO: Okay ... ::Uneasily walks along, eyeing the CMO as if she were something alien::
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
Sarah: Does your Dad happen to know where you are at?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Munro* Take a scanner and report to CTO Telarus on the Ferengi ship.  He's found something.
Host SM_Selan says:
<MO_Ensign_Shelmut> ::Hears the CO, and waits for him to finish, does not want to interrupt the Captain, as per proper Starfleet protocol::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::steps up on the pad, waiting::
Host SM_Selan says:
<Sara> CMO: No. I'm mad at him.
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
*Capt. Sulek*: Eye, sir.
SO_Ens_Sheridan says:
:: is now in her suit and waits on the transporter PADD nervously::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
SO: Seriously, you'll do fine
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::dims the lights and heads over to their berth, falling into bed in a heap...sweet sleep::
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
*CSO*: ::rubs her eyes, tiredly:: No, don't worry about it.  You're right.  Have you told the CO?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Munro* and take another medical officer with you.
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
Sarah: Oh?  Why's that?
SO_Ens_Sheridan says:
::nods to Pangborn::
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
MO Shelmut: Have to go, bye. ::She says picking up a Tricorder and heading out the door::
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
::arrives in the transporter room:: XO/So: hello, I am read .. oh I need a suit?
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
::Stops::
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@*CMO*: I wanted to consult with you first, Doctor, to be certain I was not being over-cautious.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CNS: Standard biohazard precaution. Ready when you are
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
MO Shelmut: I think you should come along too then. ::Says facing the MO::
Host SM_Selan says:
<MO_Ensign_Shelmut> ::Waves:: MO: Ah, all right. I'll tell you about what I've heard when you get back. Good luck, and be careful!
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
::gets suit on:: XO: Sorry, first time on an AT ::gets on transporter PADD:: ready, sir.
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@ ::continues scanning behind panel and collects some samples to take into evidence::
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
*CSO*: No, you aren't being overly cautious.  You might want to check in with MO Munro and see if she can help you figure some of this out.  Keep me posted.
Host SM_Selan says:
<MO_Ensign_Shelmut> ::Looks puzzled:: MO: Really?
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@COMM: Kraight to Captain Sulek.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Transporter chief: Energize
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Comm: Kraight: Here
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
MO Shelmut: The Captain said we need another medical officer and you are so why don’t you come.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@:: dematerializes and materializes on the Ferengi ship, near Telarus:: CTO: Report
Host SM_Selan says:
<MO_Ensign_Shelmut> MO: Wow, the Captain? Heh, certainly. ::Comes along::
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
 :: waits for Sarah to enter their quarters before following her in the door and taking a seat on the couch ::
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
:: She continues out the door ::
Host SM_Selan says:
<Sara>:: Enters the quarters ::
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@*CO*: Captain, I am concerned about having more members of the crew join us here on the Gollum. We have no idea what caused the CEO to go mad, and we don't know whether we can become contaminated by the causative agent ourselves.
Host SM_Selan says:
<MO_Ensign_Shelmut> ::Walks along with the MO::
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
:: Starts heading towards transporter room ::
Host SM_Selan says:
<Sara> CMO: Well ... it's just. Things are different, now that you guys are...married.
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
@:: materializes on the Ferengi ship, Looks around, winces at what He sees::
SO_Ens_Sheridan says:
@::looks around the Ferengi ship cautiously::
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
MO Shelmut: You seemed... puzzled when I asked you to come, why?
Host SM_Selan says:
<MO_Ensign_Shelmut> MO: This is my first away mission. I didn't expect to be sent over 's all. But if I'm going with you, well, that makes it all better. ::Suave smile::
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
Sarah: They are?  I hadn't thought anything had really changed.  What do you think has changed?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COMM Kraight: Your concern is noted, however, the risk goes with the investigation.
Host SM_Selan says:
<Sara> ::Stares at the CMO from across the room, and says coldly:: CMO: My daddy's forgetting about my mommy, my real mommy, and it's because of you.
SO_Ens_Sheridan says:
@::moves over to a console and looks it over::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@ALL: Lets work on getting main power back up
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::snores lightly::
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
::Looks back seeing the transporter room and entering it:: MO Shelmut: First ones always a bit... weird. ::Says grinning::
Host SM_Selan says:
<MO_Ensign_Shelmut> ::Laughs:: MO: Let's hope this one is a borer!
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
::stares at her step-daughter with her mouth hanging open.  Where the hell did *that* come from?::
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
::Steps on the transporter pad::
Host SM_Selan says:
<Sara> ::Tears in her eyes:: CMO: It's like ... I knew ... I knew she would be gone ... and things would change ... and life would be different ... but I didn't think daddy would want her ... replaced ... so quickly!
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
Sarah: Oh. ::stunned and more then a little hurt::  Maybe we should ask your Dad to join us if we are going to talk about this.
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@COMM CO: Understood, sir. I recommend that Level One containment and quarantine procedures be implemented upon the return of any crew member to the Quirinus.
Host SM_Selan says:
<MO_Ensign_Shelmut> ::Seems to be a bit faster than the other MO, and steps up onto the PADD::
Host SM_Selan says:
<Sara> ::Mumbles:: CMO: Fine ... if he's not too busy doin' work ... he always forgets everything but his work ...
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
::Looks over to the ensign on duty and orders to energize::
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
Sarah: Oh, honey.  I'm not replacing anyone.  I'm not trying to take your Mom's place by any means.  She'll always be your Mother... and your father's first wife.  But things have to go on and so we're all making the best of it... together.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::looks over the engineering consol and tries to make sense of it:: Self: This is not my forte
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ :: turns back to the console at which he has been analyzing the ship's logs ::
SO_Ens_Sheridan says:
@::moves to the far side of the room and examines a panel shaking her head slowly from side to side::
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
@:: Feels the tingling sensation through her body and suddenly feels the floor change as she opens her eyes::
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
@:: walks over to the Pangborn:: XO: Sir, what is it you wanted me to do hear?
Host SM_Selan says:
<Sara> CMO: Yeah ... right. Except in the end, he'll probably forget about you like he did mommy ... it'll probably be all about his work ... and the Swarm ... it's always about the Swarm ...
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
@::Walks over to CTO Telarus::
Host SM_Selan says:
<MO_Ensign_Shelmut> @ ::Arrives on the Freighter, looks around. Watches Munro walk over to the CTO::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CNS: Frankly, I'm concerned about the away team. I want you to keep an eye on all of us, for anything....out odd the ordinary.
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
::nods:: Sarah: It could happen, that’s true.  I certainly hope not.  But that doesn't mean I'd leave you.
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
::stops:: Sarah: And what is 'the Swarm'?
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
@ CTO: The captain ordered us down, what’s wrong?
Host SM_Selan says:
<Sara> ::Crying:: CMO: The ones who killed my mommy!
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@ ::turns around and sees two medical officers and notices that one of them is Harriet and the other is Shelmut::
Host SM_Selan says:
<Sara> CMO: He only cares about killing them!
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
::wrinkles brow, thinks curious:: XO: Ok, sir, I will do my best.
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ :: transmits compressed logs to the Q's main computer ::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@*CSO*: Kraight, report
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@MO Munro: Glad your here I just discovered something behind this panel where the Chief Engineer's body is I don't what it is but it's organic, it’s showing up on the Bio meter in the tricorder
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
Sarah: I'm sorry, kiddo, but I’m a bit lost here.  But I ‘know’ he cares about more than that. :: still unsure of what the heck this Swarm is::
Host SM_Selan says:
<MO_Ensign_Shelmut> @ ::Walks over beside the MO and CTO::
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
@:: Looks down to the panel::
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
@ :: steps over to the SO:: SO: It is Sheridan right, how are thing coming?
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@*XO*: Sir, I've just completed transmission of the Gollum's logs to the Quirinus. I intend to run several analyses on the logs to determine if there were any other cases of unusual behavior or madness among the crew in the days before the disaster.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@:: tries to power up the ship::
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
@:: Whips out Tricorder and immediately begins scanning::
Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Gollum powers up almost instantly.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@*CSO*: Excellent, keep me appraised
SO_Ens_Sheridan says:
@::steps over to another console, her fingers hovering above the smooth surface::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Self: There we go
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ :: looks up, notes normal lighting restored ::
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
::not sure she can do this alone anymore::  *CIV MacTavish*: Mac?  If you're not busy we could "really" use you right now, at home.
Host SM_Selan says:
<Sara> ::Still crying:: CMO: No, you don't. You think you know him ... but you don't ... you just doesn’t ... he'll abandon all of us ... he always does that ...
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CNS/MO/*CSO/CTO*: I've got main power back guys. Start looking through anything and everything
Host SM_Selan says:
<MO_Ensign_Shelmut> @:: Watching the CTO & MO quietly for right beside them::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
:: notes the power come up on his console:: COMM Pangborn: Well done to you and your team, Commander.
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
:: sighs, rolling over and shrugs his shoes off....opening one eye at the sound of the comm link, using the one good eye, rolls it around, searching::  Rhi:  Was the comm link really necessary?
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@:: notices that the lights come back on::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@:: tries to access the captains last few log entries::
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
:: jumps and lets out a yelp:: MacTavish: MAC!  I'm sorry.. I thought... I.. ::stops all confuzzled::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
COMM: Sulek: It literally was nothing :: grins at the mental image of the CO::
Host SM_Selan says:
<Ensign at OPS> CO: Sir, we're getting a weird report from the Transporter Room ...
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@:: goes to a private communications channel with Munro:: MO Munro: Hey Harriet, has Shelmut told you about the surprise I left him yet?
Host SM_Selan says:
<Sara> ::Looks over at her father::
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
@:: Flips tricorder looking rather amused:: CTO: Well we have a case of road kill. :: Says smiling::
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
Sarah: No one can predict what another may do, baby.  But I do believe in him and that’s the best anyone can really do.
Host SM_Selan says:
<MO_Ensign_Shelmut> @ ::Doesn't look as if he hears the MO & CTO ... which he shouldn't::
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@COMM: Computer: Analyze log extracts from Ferengi freighter Gollum. Compile semantic indices. Query: Aside from the CEO, did any other member of the crew report hallucinations, unusual phenomena, or behavior indicative of mental disorders?
Host SM_Selan says:
<Sara> ::Shakes her head, sobbing::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
OPS: Clarify...strange report...
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
:: walks over to a panel, tries to pull up CEO's personal Logs::
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::eyes open, paws at them and sits up::  I'm awake....what’s going on....::stumbles to his feet::
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@ MO Munro: Road kill?
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
CTO: No. :: Looking puzzled.::
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
<@>
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
:: dying to reach out and give the little girl a hug but not sure she'd allow it::  CIV: Sarah is a bit upset and has a few questions we need to get sorted.
Host SM_Selan says:
<Ensign at OPS> CO: Sir. The Transporter Chief reports that he was under the impression he was beaming both Ensign Sheridan and Ensign Shelmut over to the Freighter Gollum, but the computer does not have any records of their bodies actually ever being transported, nor being on the transporter pad.
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
:: stands and walks into the common area:: Sara:  What's wrong honey...
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@:: still on private channel:: MO Munro: I set a smoke pack to go off when he came into his quarters the other night
SO_Ens_Sheridan says:
@:: watches the others working away as she continues to examine the console she's at::
Host SM_Selan says:
<Sara> CIV: You're wrong ... everything's wrong...
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COMM Sheridan and Shelmut: Report.
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
@:: Giggles :: CTO: Do you think that’s appropriate?
Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: No response.
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
Sarah: Take a deep breath and explain it to him the way you did to me. :: coaxing ::
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
Sara:  What...what is wrong?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COMM Pangborn: Did Sheridan arrive with you on the Gollum?
Host SM_Selan says:
<Ensign at OPS>:: Looks over at the CO, then back at his console:: CO: No comm. link sir. I'm not even picking up their life signs or comm. badges there.
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@:: private channel:: MO Munro: He can't hear a word, but let's go back to open channel so he doesn't think anything weird
Host SM_Selan says:
<Sara> CIV: You are! You don't care about us! It's all about your job! Your stupid Prizam!
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@:: puzzled:: COMM:  Sulek: Why yes, transported over with us
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
@CTO: Ok :: Begins talking normally::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
OPS: Tell transporter chief to run a full diagnostic and report.
Host SM_Selan says:
<Ensign at OPS> CO: Aye, sir.
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
@ CTO: Anyways, all this is, is a dead rodent. :: Grins ::
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
:: not cool with the yelling:: Sarah: Sarah!  Yelling at your father is NOT okay, missy.  You can be angry but the rest doesn't fly.
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
@::shakes head, nothing other than what is already hear, thinks this is getting us know where, opens mind and begins to reach out to see if he can pick up any telepathic "shadows"::
Host SM_Selan says:
<Sara> CMO: No! I'm tired of you trying to replace her! I'm tired of it! It's not fair! :: Crying :: It's not fair! :: Tries to turn and run ::
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@ MO Munro: Could it be possible that this dead rodent could have carried some type of pathogen that could have infected the crew and the purpose of this pathogen is to drive people insane?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COMM Pangborn: This may be a glitch in the system, but the transporter chief reports that he has no record of Sheridan or MO Shelmut beaming to the ship and  we have also lost their comm signature and life signs.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@SO: Sheridan, do you feel at all odd?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COMM Telarus: Is MO Shelmut with you?
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
@ :: Thinks for a second :: CTO: Well it is... possible but we would need farther research.
SO_Ens_Sheridan says:
@XO: Odd sir? No sir, I am fine.
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
::reaches out her arm and stops her from leaving the room:: Sarah: That’s not true.  We can sit and talk about it but the yelling isn't helping anything.
Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: The CMO's hand passes right through Sara's arm.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@COMM Sulek: SO Sheridan reports feeling fine.
Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: As if she was a ghost.
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
::startles and take a step back:: Wha??
Host SM_Selan says:
<Sara> ::Stops in her tracks, and her tears almost vanish, she turns to the CMO:: CMO: Naughty naughty Doctor Morgan, sticking your hands where they shouldn't be ... oh well, I guess this means I'll just have to advance the game a bit.
Host SM_Selan says:
<Sara> ::Vanishes::
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@:: turns around for a second and goes to a private comm sensing concern in the question:: *CO*: Aye sir he is ::looks down to tricorder and notices only two bio signs in the room, Harriet's and his::
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
:: eyebrows stand up::
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
@:: Turns to MO Shelmut:: MO Shelmut: Start scanning for anything odd, I will start looking up anything relative to this.
Host SM_Selan says:
<MO_Ensign_Shelmut> @ CTO / MO: If you two are done flirting ... can we get back to work?
SO_Ens_Sheridan says:
@XO: Sir, I'll go and see if there is another console where we can access the crew logs.
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
:: glances at the CMO::  Did your...
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
@:: Turns to a red looking very displeased::
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
:: white faced she looks at where her step-daughter had been back to her husband:: CIV: Um.. I thought so...
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@ MO Shelmut: Ensign may I remind you I am a superior officer whatever decision or conversation I had over a communication with Ensign Munro is not your concern unless I make it do I make myself clear?
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@:: scans her with his tricorder:: SO: No, Stay here a moment. They've lost your life signs on the Quirinus and I want to know why ::motions to the CNS to come over::
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
:: walks the ten or so paces over to their daughters berth and keys the door open::
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
@SO: Sheridan: Wait just a moment; I would like to talk with you
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CNS: Counselor, I assume you have medical training as well?
Host SM_Selan says:
<MO_Ensign_Shelmut> @ CTO: Oh, please ... did you use your "superior rank" to get her to date you? Because I'm quite sure it wasn't your appearance or your charisma.
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
:: watches him:: CIV: Please tell me she's in there asleep. :: pleading::
Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: Sara is sleeping soundly, and tangibly, in her bed.
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
:: nods and keys the door closed::
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
@XO: Yes, sir, a degree from my home world
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@*XO*: Kraight to XO Pangborn. Analysis of the ship's logs shows no reports of unusual physical or psychological phenomena leading up to the deaths of the crew. The two crew members who were found to have killed one another did report a high degree of interpersonal conflict just before the disaster.
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
@ MO Shelmut: STOP IT! We are on duty!
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CNS: Examine Sheridan for anything anomalous
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@ MO Shelmut: Ensign your on borderline insubordination here, because I know that you have some jealousy towards the fact that I am dating her and even so that is my personal life which you have no business of
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
::starts shaking now that she knows Sarah is okay:: CIV: I don't know that I can do this anymore, Will.  What the hell is going on?
Host SM_Selan says:
<MO_Ensign_Shelmut> @ MO: And does duty hamper you from practically throwing yourself at him? What is this for ... a promotion?
SO_Ens_Sheridan says:
@:: steps back:: XO/CNS: That's not necessary.
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
:: Looks at the SO:: So: and why not?
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@SO: Ensign Sheridan, I gave you a direct order
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
@:: Starts burning with rage and punches the MO::
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
::goes to private communication:: @ *Quirinus*: We have a problem Ensign Shelmut is getting out of line here sir, but this I don't think is normal whatever effected the crew of the ship may have gotten him somehow
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
::takes out tricorder and begins to scan the SO::
Host SM_Selan says:
<MO_Ensign_Shelmut> @ CTO: I do believe insubordination only qualifies when --
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
*Bridge* Intruder alert, Deck 3
SO_Ens_Sheridan says:
@::smiles at Pangborn:: XO: Indeed you did Commander.
Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: MO Munro's hand goes right through Shelmut.
Host SM_Selan says:
<MO_Ensign_Shelmut> @ MO: Ooooh...nasty, nasty. ::Smiles:: And here I thought you were only good at groping ... heck of a swing.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@SO: And are you refusing that order? ::fingers his phaser::
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
::sways on her feet, feeling somewhat dizzy for a moment::
SO_Ens_Sheridan says:
@XO: Certainly not Commander.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*MacTavish* Security on its way.  OPS: Send a security team to the MacTavish quarters.
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@ MO/MO: Then my bio scans were correct Harriet run now, and I mean run!
Host SM_Selan says:
<Ensign at OPS> CO: Aye, sir.
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
@::Looks straight into the MOs face and then begins to feel fear::
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::eyebrows raise and reach out for Rhi::
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
@XO: She is not there, the SO is not there sir!
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@ MO Shelmut: Who are you?
Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: Suddenly a very familiar voice calls out from behind the CO ... "Why bother, Sulek. You know you're not going to find anything." Sulek's former, and quite deceased, Captain from the Griffon, Okatar Bradley, is standing at the back of the bridge.
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
::Scans the SO::
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ :: concerned at the lack of a response from Pangborn, gets to his feet and heads for the Ferengi bridge ::
Host SM_Selan says:
<MO_Ensign_Shelmut> @ CTO: Oh, I could give you thousands of names ... but they don't exist. In fact, no one knows who I am. Does it matter?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::turns to see Bradley::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::Shocked:: CNS: What do you mean "Not there" let me look ::looks at his tricorder and confirms::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
<@>
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
@::Runs towards the doors but then stops feeling every thing in her churn::
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
::smiles wanly as she steadies herself:: CIV: Sorry.  Having a bit of a moment...  I think I'm done for another few minutes.
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@ MO Shelmut: Humor me at least then maybe others will know of you if word gets around
Host SM_Selan says:
<Captain Okatar Bradley> ::Tilts his head, and begins to walk around the back of the bridge, eyeing up everyone:: CO: It's funny ... such a small ship, not as graceful as the Griffon, more...menacing. You went from peace to war so easily, quite a jump.
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::holds her, kissing her forehead::  Here, sit down.... ::helps her sit on a couch::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::Tries to touch the SO's arm::
Host SM_Selan says:
<MO_Ensign_Shelmut> @ CTO: Mmmmm ... nope.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::raises an eyebrow:: Bradley: You are dead, I must therefore assume either I am mad, infected, or you are an unknown entity.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
<unknown>
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CNS: Analysis
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
@::Turns and taps her badge::
Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: The XO's hand goes through the SO's arm, and then both she and the MO vanish.
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@ MO Shelmut : Then I have an idea
Host SM_Selan says:
<Captain Okatar Bradley> CO: I would go for the latter, Sulek ol' friend.
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@ ::double takes to see that he is gone::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COMM Security: Security report to the Bridge, intruder on the bridge.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@COMM: Sulek: We've got a situation here....Sheridan has just vanished
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
@XO: She does not even have thoughts ::turns to SO:: SO:: What are you!
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@ *XO*: Ensign Shelmut is gone
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Computer: Lock all command functions to Sulek alpha 1 zero.
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
@*Capt. Sulek*: Umm... sir, we have a situation down here.
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@ *XO*: I am heading there now, I have an idea
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CNS: Counselor, was there Anything at All as far as reading go? Or just as if nothing was there?
Host SM_Selan says:
<Captain Okatar Bradley> ::Walks around until he's on the same level as Sulek. Walks toward him:: CO: Oh, don't worry. I have no intention of taking control of your little ship. That's not how I work.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@*CTO*: We're on the bridge
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COMM Pangborn: As do we commander.  I am facing the dead Captain Bradley.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Bradley: And exactly how do you work?
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
@XO: Nothing Sir, as if, I was scanning thin air, same with the telepathic scan.
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@:: arrives on the bridge of the Gollum ::
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@ *MO*: Harriet, where are you?
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
:: leans back against one of the walls and slides to the ground::
Host SM_Selan says:
<Captain Okatar Bradley> CO: I tell the truth.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@ *CTO*: Telarus... :: trails off:: COMM: Sulek: You are what?!
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
@ ::Walks next to CTO Telarus::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Bradley: Ahh, I see or at least your perception of the truth.
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::kneels down into the rough approximation of an Indian-style sit::
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ :: sees the looks on the faces of Pangborn and Jarvin :: XO: What has happened, sir?
Host SM_Selan says:
<Captain Okatar Bradley> CO: Oh...not my perception, your perceptions, what you perceive or know to be it, I know everything about you, and your families and your friends. I just tell what you're not willing to say.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Bradley: How many of your kind are here? or all the non corporeal life forms merely an extension of you?
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CSO: Kraight, begin using the Ferengi’s sensors and run a full sweep for any trace of Sheridan or the MO that came over. They have vanished as if they were never here
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@*XO*: Commander, Do you copy, Ben are you there, answer me
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
@CTO: Then... where is the real Ensign Shelmut?
Host SM_Selan says:
<Captain Okatar Bradley> CO: It's all me, baby.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Bradley: And what truths would you have me know?
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@*CTO*: I'm here Telarus, go ahead
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@XO: Vanished, sir?  :: moves towards Ferengi science station ::
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
@:: Stops talking::
Host SM_Selan says:
<Captain Okatar Bradley> CO: That's hardly the point, isn't it?
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@ MO: I don't think there ever was an Ensign Shelmut
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@XO: Were there any unusual manifestations before they vanished?
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
@XO: I will try to do a scan using the internal sensors for any abnormal energy if that is ok?
Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: Suddenly, alarms start blaring all over the Quirinus.
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
:: feels a bit lost and doesn't enjoy the feeling:: CIV: Will... ::doesn't know what to say::
Host SM_Selan says:
<Ensign at OPS> CO: Sir, there's been phaser fire, Deck Seven, Corridor Nine A.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COMM Pangborn/Telarus:  We are dealing with a single entity who claims to reveal to us our most feared truths.
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
:: smiles wanly::
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@ *XO*: Security Clearance Code, Commander? :: ponders that that was odd::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CSO: As if they were never here. The captain reports a dead captain aboard the Quirinus as well.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
OPS: Send security.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@*CTO*: What?
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@:: begins scanning the ship using internal sensors ::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Computer: Override all phaser activation.
Host SM_Selan says:
<Ensign at OPS> CO: Aye, sir.
Host SM_Selan says:
<Captain Okatar Bradley> ::Smiles:: CO: Ah, I believe that's only the beginning there, Captain, One down...several hundred to go, no?
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
@:: Feels very worried and puzzled about what is happening on the Quirinus.::
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@ *XO*: I believe that you are either not Commander Pangborn or that you have been compromised or that you are you just confirm sir
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@COMM: Sulek: Captain, what is your situation?
CMO_LtCmd_MacTavish says:
:: reaches out and takes one of his hands in hers, brings it to her lips and drops a kiss on it:: CIV: Now what, Cariad?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
:: Looks at Bradley:: Bradley: I see.  You thrive on death.  Is that your truth?
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
@:: walks over to a consol and scans for energy readings::
Host SM_Selan says:
<Captain Okatar Bradley> CO: Thrive on it? No. It serves a purpose.
Host SM_Selan says:
<Ensign at OPS> CO: Sir. It appears to be a suicide, one Ensign Shelmut...sir.
Host SM_Selan says:
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CSO: Kraight set up a weapons dampening field. I think Telarus has gone nuts. *CTO*: What the hell are you taking about?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Computer: Sound general quarters.  All non essential crew are confined to quarters, effective immediately.
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@XO: No sign of either Sheridan or Shelmut aboard the Gollum, sir.
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@:: activates private communications to Captain Sulek:: *CO*: Sir I think Commander Pangborn has been compromised or is not who we think he is and he is reluctant to give his security code
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Bradley: And what truth did you give Shelmut?
MO_Ensign_Munro says:
@:: Looks at the CTO strangely::
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
:: reaches out and strokes her left cheek, resting the palm of his hand against it::  CMO:  Ama me fideliter.  Fidem meam noto: De corde totaliter Et ex mente tota.
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
@:: scans the xo with tricorder for anything unusual resulting from the contact::
Host SM_Selan says:
<Captain Okatar Bradley> CO: Ahhh, yes, Ensign Shelmut ... ::Suddenly transforms into the now dead Shelmut:: <MO_Ensign_Shelmut> CO: He was really weak. While you were all busy concentrating on determining what exactly was wrong, I was laying out all Mr. Shelmut's insecurities for him to realize ... his life was pitiful.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Telarus* : Take no provocative action.
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@XO: Aye, sir. :: taps controls:: Dampening field activated, sir, Keyed to your command codes, and my own.
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
CMO:  Let’s go home
Host SM_Selan says:
< Captain Okatar Bradley > CO: He could never achieve his father's acceptance ... or win the respect of his peers. He was worthless. He just needed to realize that the only happiness he would find was in death ... so he did. Gee, wonder if he's chipper now.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@*CTO*: Report to the bridge of this vessel now.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::nods at Kraight::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CNS: You may be needed here. Scan Telarus as soon as he enters
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@ ::private communication:: *CO*: I suggest that you confine us here and that you deactivate all of Commander Pangborn's codes until I can confirm that he is Ben Pangborn
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*ALL AT* We are facing an entity who will attempt to deceive you with blanket statements about what he refers to as the truth.  You are not to take these truths however painful at anything but face value.
Host SM_Selan says:
< Captain Okatar Bradley > ::Chuckles:: CO: Would you listen to that? Not even ten minutes and they're already distrusting each other.
Host SM_Selan says:
< Captain Okatar Bradley > CO: Oh, Captain, do you think that will really help? I haven't even begun ... ::Vanishes::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Bradley: And why would you wish to reveal these truths.
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
@XO: Yes, sir, in fact I will scan for Him now mentally ::begins to scan for the CTO::
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@ ::private communication:: MO: Listen I have to go but I want you to run and hide and this is hard for me but I want you to know that I love you and whatever happens and whatever I ask you or tell you to do after I leave don't do it
