Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
ACTION: The two security personnel at the door immediately draw their weapons at the sign of the TO drawing out his phaser, but they make no move to attack.

CMO_Ens_Munro says:
::Continues on::

TO_Ens_King says:
All: That was an interesting ride..

TO_Ens_King says:
::Looks over at the two security guards and holsters his weapon:: Security Personnel: Sorry just a precaution.

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
<Sickbay> @ *CNS* We already have personnel present, Counselor.

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
ACTION: The Sec. Personnel understand and nod, holstering their weapons as well.

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
TO: Thank you.

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@**Sickbay: Thank you, Jarvin out**

TO_Ens_King says:
Fifth: After the incident you will excuse me of course if I am a bit, edgy.....

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::looks at Sulek::

CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
Fifth: Sir, do your own scientists have any conjectures regarding the cause of the mutations?

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
::whispers::  XO:  Where are we going?

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
@::enters the nearest turbolift after getting lost::

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
CSO: Various theories. Evolution, but we don't believe it would be something so sudden. Some sort of virus, but we've seen no evidence. Radiation ... but there is none. Some sort of alien influence ... but no evidence there either.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
OPS: To investigate the strange mutations that have occurred here. Enjoy the ride in the tubes? ::grin::

TO_Ens_King says:
::follows them down the hallway staying near to the captain, scanning every corner with his eyes::

CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
Fifth: Is there any evidence in your fossil records of sudden mutations in other species native to Al-Jihj?

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
ACTION: The AT passes by various Jihejians as they move through a main lobby, and down a side corridor.

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
CSO: Not at all.

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@ ::enters the brig::

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
::checks out the Jihejians as they pass::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn: You and your team may continue to try and find the source of your attacker.

Fifth: Where are they headed if you don't mind me asking?

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
@::arrives at what she hopes is the right place::

CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
:: considers the information ::

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
XO:  Is it really necessary that all of us tag along?

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
::Leads them to a set of double doors in which two security personnel are stationed. There is a circular "combination lock" on the door which he begins to twist:: TO: Who?

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@::Looks to the medic:: May I use your medical tricorder please?

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: I'll take Cherry and King ::looks at Cherry oddly::

TO_Ens_King says:
Fifth: That group over there walking through that side tunnel.

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
::looks at the XO in shock::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
OPS/TO: I'd like to find out more about the attacker

MO_Ens_T`Kern says:
@::looks at the CNS: Yes  sir!  ::hands the medical tricorder to him::

TO_Ens_King says:
XO: As would I sir, where shall we begin our investigation?

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
TO: To their duties I assume.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
OPS/TO: This way back to the tubes :: hopes he figured out the navigational array outside the tube::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::watches as Pangborn leaves and Wheel works on the locks::

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
::follows the XO having no clue where they are going or why::

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
@::breathlessly reports in for duty::

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@MO: Thank you

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
OPS/TO: We start at the landing site

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
ACTION: There are a few clicks, and the combination lock gets sucked into the doors which pull apart. A vast laboratory where about a dozen Jihejians are working appears.

TO_Ens_King says:
::Turns around on his heel and follows behind Pangborn::

CMO_Ens_Munro says:
::continue with the group::

CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
Fifth: Are the victims of the mutation considered dangerous? You do seem to have them surrounded with relatively heavy security.

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
XO:  Start what exactly?

MO_Ens_T`Kern says:
@::watches the CNS as he does the scans::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
OPS: Your guess is as good as mine. Ask some shopkeepers if they saw anything suspicious? TO: Be on the lookout, but don't arouse suspicion by drawing your phaser unless it's necessary

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@::programs the tricorder to focus on the nervous system and any affects these things might have on it:: Mo: Hear you go, scan him ::points to the prisoner:: with that and let me know the results, also can you wake him?

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
XO:  We get to go into shops?  ::perks up considerably::

TO_Ens_King says:
XO: Yes sir. 

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
OPS: We are Not shopping now. We're just asking questions.

MO_Ens_T`Kern says:
@CNS: Yes sir.

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
XO:  But we can look.  ::grins as she hurries to keep up::

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@::waits for the Mo to wake the prisoner::

TO_Ens_King says:
OPS: Shopping? How boring..

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
@::looks around for the person in charge and is told the counselor is the only one around. Decides to head to the brig to offer her assistance.::

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
ACTION: The Takaran lies unconscious on the bed in the brig.

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
TO:  I suppose you prefer shooting things?

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
OPS: Yes, looking for the reason someone tried to kill me

MO_Ens_T`Kern says:
@::takes the tricorder and begins her scans::

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
XO:  Oh that.  ::grins again::

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
CSO: We actually only have one of them. And he is a volunteer ... he used to be one of our scientists.

TO_Ens_King says:
OPS: Not really, but it does sound more appealing then you coming out of a fitting room and asking us how an article of clothing looks.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::arrives at the tubes and attempts to program  the correct destination:: OPS/TO: Ready guys?

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
CSO: We don't consider them dangerous ... they cannot live on ground level, so we do not see them often. Not that we have lost contact, of course.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
@::runs her hand nervously through her hair and enters the turbolift once again::

MO_Ens_T`Kern says:
@::clipping the cartridge into the hypospray she places it against his neck and injects him::

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
TO:  Don't like girls?

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@ ::Looks to the MO:: MO: Did you try to wake Him?

CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
:: follows Fifth into the lab, examining the Jihejian equipment he passes ::

TO_Ens_King says:
XO: Ready as ever sir, shall I go first.

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
XO:  Right... ready.... sorta....

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Fifth: Do they retain their normal intelligence and speech capabilities?

CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
Fifth: Why are they unable to live at ground level?

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
::looks up::

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
ACTION: The Jihejians who are working at microscopes and data screens look up at the AT. One of them walks up to the group.

TO_Ens_King says:
::Raises an eyebrow at Cherry and readies himself to jump in::

MO_Ens_T`Kern says:
@CNS:  Yes sir, he should be coming around soon.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::motions:: TO: Have at it. I think I programmed it right. We'll be right behind you ::looks at Cherry::

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
CSO: They cannot breathe at ground level, apparently.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
@::arrives at brig level and begins to look around for the Counselor::

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
::sighs and jumps up::

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
::Smiles and nods to the MO::

CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
Fifth: Interesting...

CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
:: eyes the approaching scientist ::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::jumps in::

TO_Ens_King says:
::Goes into the tube and begins to feel the air as it rushes against his face::

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
ALL: This is The First Doctor Debo. ::Gestures to the man who approached them::

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
<TFDD> ::Nods:: ALL: Greetings. A pleasure to meet you.

MO_Ens_T`Kern says:
@::continuing the scan the prisoner begins to stir::

CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
Debo: And you, sir.   : bows slightly ::

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@::His headache still not gone, rubs his head as he senses some one new::

MO_Ens_T`Kern says:
@CNS: Sir he is coming around.

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
ACTION: Back on the ship, the Takaran begins to stir ... his eyes fluttering.

CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
Debo: May we see your patient, please?

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
@::arrives in the right place and pauses outside the cell::

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@ ::Turns and faces the FCO:: Hello, I am CNS Jarvin, may I help you?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::nods to the Doctor:: Debo: I assume you have some data relevant to the change.  Dr. Munro and CSO Kraight might be able to use this to help.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::exits the tube back where they started::

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
::exits and looks at the XO::

TO_Ens_King says:
::Rolls out of the tube and takes a small tumble:: All: Ouch ::Rubs back as he stands up:: All: That wasn't nearly as soft as the last landing.

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
<TFDD> CO: Of course. I'll show them to the main data ... TFW: Would you like to show them to our guest?

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
OPS/TO: We'll stay together, be on the lookout ::heads for the area where he was attacked::

TO_Ens_King says:
OPS: Oh and to answer your question Mrs. Cherry, I do like girls, just don't like clothes... ::Winks at her and moves to catch up with the XO::

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
@::smiles nervously:: CNS: Ensign Morgan, Sir. I was told to report to you.

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
::rolls her eyes and runs to catch up::

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@ ::turns and nods to the MO:: Mo: Thank You.

CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
:: unholsters his tricorder and gets it ready ::

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
XO:  What are we looking for Sir?

MO_Ens_T`Kern says:
@ ::glad to be back outside the cell::

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@ ::turns to the FCO, with a surprised look:: OH, yes our new FCO? Well welcome, why would you report to me though?

TO_Ens_King says:
::Scans the area of the attack for any clues::

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@ MO: Any results on those scans?

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
OPS/TO: The weapon was recovered with the body, we can inquire at some of the neat by shops to see if our Takaran friend had just arrived, or anything else we can deduce. If that doesn't work, we're going back to the ship to see if he is fit for questioning

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
@ CNS: The bridge officer sent me to assist you.

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
XO:  Good thinking Sir.  I'll take that shop over there.  ::points to what is obviously a woman's clothing store::

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@FCO: Ok, thank you.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
OPS: All right, but we're not going to be at this all day. Lead on.

MO_Ens_T`Kern says:
@CNS: Sir the scans are not quite complete.  They should be finishing soon.

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@Prisoner: Oh, good you are awake, now may I inquire as to who you are? ::opens mind and begins a discrete surface scan to detect lies and surface thoughts::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::watches as Kraight and Munro review the data gathered by Debo and company::

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
::smiles brightly and hurries towards the store::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::follows::

TO_Ens_King says:
::Rolls eyes:: OPS/XO: That store looks like something out of a bad romance novel...

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
::the door tinkles in welcome as she enters::

TO_Ens_King says:
::Follows after them::

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
XO/TO:  Oooohhh.... look at that...  ::runs over and begins touching the clothes::

TO_Ens_King says:
::Looks over at the XO:: XO: Is she for real?

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
<TFDD> ::Leads the CSO & CMO to the side where he pulls up information on a screen to be downloaded::

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
ALL: Everyone else, this way.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
@::watches as the Counselor begins his interrogation::

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
::pulls a red number off a rack and holds it up to herself:: XO/TO:  What do you think?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::follows Wheel::

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@Mo: Very, well, try and secure a signal as soon as possible on those metal attachments ::in whisper::

TO_Ens_King says:
OPS: I think it's red...

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::speaks with the shop keeper:: Shopkeeper: See anything suspicious earlier, when the attack took place? ::casual:: TO: Yes is. OPS: Ensign Cherry, please stay focused on the task at hand. And put that garment down.

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
TO:  Do you think I have time to try this on?

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@FCO:: Could you scan for the signals what kind of band are they using, and were are they coming from?

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
<Takaran> @ ::Coughs, and looks around:: CNS: Stevron. I guess you're my captor?

MO_Ens_T`Kern says:
@::waits for the scan to finish::  CNS: Sir the scans are not coming up with anything different from earlier scans but I suggest that we extract one of the metal rods and examine it.  His Takaran physiology is allowing him to heal very rapidly.

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
<Shopkeeper> XO: You mean prior to all that commotion?

TO_Ens_King says:
OPS: I don't think that would be wise, I don't think the Quirinus plans on having a fashion show anytime soon.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Shopkeeper: Yes, specifically the Takaran that attacked. Had you seen him before?

TO_Ens_King says:
::Walks over to the checkout desk to listen to the conversation::

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
TO:  But you just can't replicate fabric like this...  ::sadly replaces the garment onto the rack::

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@::Shakes his head:: MO: No, not just yet I want to talk with him first, then we can of course.

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
<Shopkeeper> XO: To be honest, I didn't witness the attack. I only saw the aftermath.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
@::nods at the counselor and goes off to find the nearest terminal::

MO_Ens_T`Kern says:
@CNS: Yes sir.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Shopkeeper: Thank you for your time

TO_Ens_King says:
::Nods at the shopkeeper::

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
Shopkeeper:  Can you put that aside for me?

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
OPS/TO: We're going back to the ship. We're not going to get anywhere here ::loudly:: I guess we'll have to spend our credits elsewhere

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
<Shopkeeper> OPS: Certainly.

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
<Shopkeeper> ::Doesn't know why the XO is going on about, the OPS seems quite ready to spend her credits::

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
::looks frantically at the XO::  Shopkeeper:  I'll be back.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
OPS/TO: Prepare to beam back :: his commbadge and contacts the transporter room::

TO_Ens_King says:
OPS: I don't know Cherry shouldn't you shop around, you might be able to find a better deal.....

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
::sighs::

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@Stevron: Well I guess you could say so, I am the CNS of the USS Quirinus, on which you are being held

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
@::finds the terminal and logs on as ordered::

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
::Leads the CO through another set of doors::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
*TRChief*: Three to beam up

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
ACTION: The XO and his group are beamed up to the ship.

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@::rematerializes in mid sigh::

TO_Ens_King says:
@::Dematerializes on the platform and glances around casually in the transporter room::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@*CNS*: Jarvin, have you discovered anything? I'm on my way there now ::heads to the brig:: TO/OPS: You're still with me

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
CO: Here he is.

CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
CMO: There's little here that wasn't in the data extract we received before beaming down. The mutations have been occurring for about seven months. They occur at a rate of about one in 10,000 Jihejians, and the physiological changes are quite striking.

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@Stevron:: Why did you attack us ::scans for intent and surface thoughts::

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@ ::steps off the pad::  XO:  Aye Sir.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::looks at the mutated Jihejian::

TO_Ens_King says:
@ ::Follows quickly behind Pangborn::

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@*XO*: Not, yet sir, but I have just began

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
ACTION: There is a small room behind a force field which seems to be quite hazy. Various books line a few shelves ... and there seems to be some sort of waste bin to the side, and a crate of fruits. A figure hangs from the ceiling ... it is obscured briefly.

CMO_Ens_Munro says:
CSO: How many people are on the planet?

MO_Ens_T`Kern says:
@::watches the CNS and waits with a loaded hypospray of sedative in summoned::

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@TO:  I wonder if I'll get to go back.

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
<Stevron> @ CNS: There's an us? I thought I was aiming for one guy. Hmph.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::moves closer to the force field trying to get a better look::

TO_Ens_King says:
@OPS: Why that dress was ugly. ::A smile crosses his face and he movies faster down the hall::

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@Stevron: Ok then why attack our XO?

CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
CMO: I'm not certain.   Debo: What is the native population of Al-Jihj, sir?

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
<TFDD> ::Stands to the side and watches the CSO & CMO discuss::

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@TO:  Ugly?  What would you know about ugly.  Oh... wait.....

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::Calls:: Munro/Kraight: You need to see this

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@ ::following the XO::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::arrives with the TO and OPS at the brig, stands for a moment and looks at his attacker::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::takes out tricorder and scans::

TO_Ens_King says:
@::Rolls his eyes and continues down the hallway toward the brig::

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
<TFDD> CSO: Three Billion.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CNS: Anything?

CMO_Ens_Munro says:
::hurries over::

TO_Ens_King says:
@XO: Sir, would you like me to perform the interrogation?

CMO_Ens_Munro says:
::Pulls up beside the captain::

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
::Goes over to a panel on the side and flips a switch, speaking into it:: Sir Y'hor, we have a visitor.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@TO: Hold on a moment Mr. King

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@::stands near the door in the brig::

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@XO: No sir, just asking why he attacked you, would you like to take over?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::looks over to Munro and points towards the top of the enclosure::

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
@::continues the scans::

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
<Stevron> @ ::Eyes the XO, his target::

CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
CMO, Debo: That means there are roughly three hundred thousand affected individuals.

MO_Ens_T`Kern says:
@::watches the XO as he arrives::

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@FCO: Did you get a fix on that signal?

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::looks at the Takaran:: Stevron: Any particular reason you tried to kill me?

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
ACTION: Suddenly, on the surface, the man known as Y'Hor spreads his impressive wing span and glides down to the floor.

CMO_Ens_Munro says:
::Looks over and tries to see through the field::

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
<Stevron> @ XO: It's a job. Don't you know anything about me?

CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
CMO: We should examine the First Doctor's patient now.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Stevron: Then who hired you?

CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
:: walks over to the enclosure ::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::watches as Y'hor comes down:: self: most interesting.

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@::looks at the CNS while she decides whether to report for that psych eval or not::

CMO_Ens_Munro says:
CSO: Right walks toward the CSO.

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
ACTION: Y'Hor looks similar to a Jihejian, but much lighter ... his frame has seemingly decreased. His arms are unrecognizable, but he seems very graceful. His eyes have enlarged, and his nose has retreated into his face, leaving only two holes.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::continues tricorder scan:: Wheel: May we speak with the subject?

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@ ::Looks to OPS::OPS:: Can you go and get some back ground on this guy? ::whispers::

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
CO: Certainly. Flip the switch on the panel every time you wish to speak.

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@CNS:  Do we know anything about him other than his species?

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
<Stevron> @ XO: Hmmm ... I'm not in the business of revealing my "clients."

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@OPS: His name is Stevron

CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
:: waits for the captain to initiate the conversation with Y'Hor ::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Stevron: Tell you what, can you at least give me the reason I was wanted dead?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::reaches out and flips the switch:: Y'Hor: how long did your transformation take and can you describe what you recall of it.  Every detail may be helpful to my team.

CMO_Ens_Munro says:
::again walks over to the force field and begins listening in::

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@::moves to a console::

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
<Stevron> @ XO: I never ask why. Usually just the amount I'll get paid ... and any preference for how it might be done. ::Smiles::

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@::searches the database for a mercenary named Stevron::

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
<Y'Hor> ::His voice is raspy, with a sort if whine to it, as if his voice box were the most fragile thing in existence:: CO: It began slowly. I felt "lighter" ... my bones grew weaker, despite any treatments. I would have incredible muscle cramping and pain as my body ... "re-adjusted."

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@::sends a subspace message to Starfleet Command requesting any intelligence they have on Stevron::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@ TO: Take over here and interrogate the prisoner, I'll be in the captains ready room. OPS: Take your station, or stay here if you feel you can help the counselor and the medical staff. CNS: Report to me as soon as you find anything

CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
Y'Hor: Has anyone else in your family been affected, sir?

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@FCO: Never mind the signals, It seems I mad a mistake.

CMO_Ens_Munro says:
::pulls out a pad and begins writing this down::

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@CNS:  This might take a while.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@ ::leaves::

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
@ ::finds absolutely nothing::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Wheel: Judging from his body structure his bones too have become avian in nature as well as external signs such as his wings...

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@MO: Lets extract that piece

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@XO:  Wait!

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
<Y'Hor> CSO: Not that I know of.

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
CO: Apparently so.

TO_Ens_King says:
@::Quietly observes everything going on unsure of what to do.::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@OPS: What? :;stops::

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@OPS: That is ok, we need it

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Y'Hor: Does the mutation continue?  Are you still in pain?

CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
Debo: I assume that you have DNA samples of the patient both before and after his transformation?

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@XO:  SFC reports Stevron is wanted for 105 murders.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
@::nods at the CNS, relieved that she wasn't as incompetent as she thought::

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
<Y'Hor> CO: No, it has stopped.

TO_Ens_King says:
@ ::Raises an eyebrow:: OPS: In what systems?

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
<TFDD> CSO: Yes. Would you like to take them?

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@XO: He's wanted on 35 different worlds, 18 of them Federation.

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@TO:  All over the place.  He's just a hit man.

MO_Ens_T`Kern says:
@CNS: Sir may I say that I think since there are no signals and since we don't know what these rods are, we should remove one and examine it.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: Besides bone structure what of changes to internal organs do the tests show?

TO_Ens_King says:
@OPS: Does it have anything about any possible connections he has with others?

CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
Debo: Well, what portions you can spare, at least. The Doctor's analytical equipment may be able to glean something useful from them.

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@Mo: Yes you may and please do so

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Munro: Can we trace this change on a cellular or even genome level?

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@To: That is if it is alright with you?

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@ ::turns slowly on the heel of his foot:: OPS: Did I hear you correctly? 105? :: looks at Stevron:: Stevron: I can see you're a busy man. Well the trail of bodies stops here. Plus, you're a lousy shot. I was way out in the open.

CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
:: aims tricorder at Y'Hor :: CO: Scanning now, sir...

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
<Stevron> @ XO: Yeah, I must be slipping.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Stevron: Should have been easy for you

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
@::straightens nervously, not sure that what they are proposing is a good idea but afraid to say anything::

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@::glances at the XO:  XO:  Should I keep checking?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Y'Hor: Where were you just before the change began?

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
OPS: No ensign, just keep doing what you're doing

CMO_Ens_Munro says:
::Thinks for second:: CO: perhaps with the right equipment but genome, well that’s a different story.

MO_Ens_T`Kern says:
@::readies the medical transporter::  Computer: Set up a level 10 force field just outside the brig.

MO_Ens_T`Kern says:
@ <Computer>: Level 10 force field engaged.

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
<Y'Hor> CO: Ironically, working here to solve the mutation problem.

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@::sends a subspace message to SFC requesting details of any known employers of Stevron::

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@FCO: I think you may be need on the bridge as well, see if you can pull up something on those tubes used on the surface, who provided them and how they work, this may help us, who knows?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Munro: Send for the ship for anything you need that Fifth Wheel and his team are unable to provide.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
@::catches herself biting her lip nervously and forces herself to stop. ::

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
<TFDD> CSO: I'll go and get the DNA. ::Leaves::

MO_Ens_T`Kern says:
@Computer: Lock on one of the metal rods on one of the lower limbs and beam it into the containment field.

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@::notices the new FCO.  Smiles at her::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Y'Hor: Were others present? Were any others affected?

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Stevron: Guess crime didn't pay this time - you must have a thirst for you're work. Wanna talk to the counselor about all the pent up unresolved issues you have? I can arrange for a very lengthy interrogation ::frowns::

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
@::starts at the counselor's words and nods nervously::

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
<Y'Hor> CO: No ... this was a gradual occurrence, and all those present taking care of me took proper precautions.

MO_Ens_T`Kern says:
@::uses the hypospray she had ready and injects him::  Computer: Commence the beam out.

CMO_Ens_Munro says:
CO: All I need right now is a tricorder and luckily I brought one.

MO_Ens_T`Kern says:
@<Computer>: Beaming now.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
@::smiles back quickly before she turns quickly and exits the room::

CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
:: nods at Debo's parting remark ::

MO_Ens_T`Kern says:
@::the metal rod materializes in the containment field::

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
<Stevron> @ ::Looks calm for a moment ... then his eyes roll back into his head, and he collapses to the floor in spasms::

CMO_Ens_Munro says:
::Whips it out and begins scanning Y'Hor::

CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
CMO: Doctor, my scan indicates no pathogens that might be the cause of the mutation. Can you confirm?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Y'Hor: Precautions?  Could you please be more specific?

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@CNS:  Ummm.... I think you guys killed him.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@MO: Take a look  at him.

MO_Ens_T`Kern says:
@::grabs the medical tricorder and steps back into the brig and begins scans::

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
<Y'Hor> CO: Force fields. Containment gear. No touching of my blood directly if any were withdrawn.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
@::reaches the turbolift and as the doors open, slumps gratefully against the wall...glad she wasn't going to witness what she thought was going to happen::

CMO_Ens_Munro says:
CSO: Confirmed, nothing on mine either.

CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
Y'Hor: Has there been any indication that the mutagenic agent may be contagious?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Y'Hor: Then you believe the mutation can be transmitted.  Were you not taking precautions?

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@::grimaces and turns to the ops:: OPS:I certainly hope not.  MO: Is he ok?

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
<Y'Hor> CSO: Not at all.

MO_Ens_T`Kern says:
@::clips another cartridge into the hypospray and injects Stevron with a neural suppressant::

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
<Y'Hor> CO: Well, I had not been working with any samples from any others directly.

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@XO:  Remind me not to require medical attention while I'm stationed on this ship, Sir.

CMO_Ens_Munro says:
CO: Captain, permission to take a DNA sample back to the ship for further analysis.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
@::as the turbolift reaches the bridge, she straightens and exits gratefully::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Munro: Granted.

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
ACTION: The suppressant doesn't seem to be doing the trick.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@OPS: Duly noted

CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
CMO: Excellent idea, Doctor. We need a full comparison of of the DNA samples, to try an isolate the mutagenic agent.

MO_Ens_T`Kern says:
@CNS: He is not stabilizing.  I think we have to take him to sickbay.  Only from Sickbay can I stabilize him.

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@XO:  I think I'll just go the bridge now....  scampers off before something even more icky happens::

TO_Ens_King says:
OPS: I don't think a head examination would do all that much more damage than what is already there...

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
@::takes her seat with a sigh::

CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
CO: Captain, with your permission, I would like to remain planet side and continue to analyze the Jihejian database.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Y'Hor: Is there any evidence of group nature that would indicate that the mutation can infect others?

CMO_Ens_Munro says:
CSO: Exactly and the best place to do that is the Quirinus.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: Of course.

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
<Y'Hor> CO: Not as of yet, there is no pattern.

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
MO: Ok, do it medical emergency transport

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@::tries to make sense of what the TO said to her on the way out.  Thinks it might be an insult but isn't entirely sure::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@*sickbay* Erect a level 10 force field around the prisoner I'm about to send you ::sends the commands to site to site the Takaran:: MO: Prepare for site to site

CMO_Ens_Munro says:
CSO: Where can I find the appropriate DNA?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: This change seems all too random...there should be a common element.

CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
CMO: Agreed. Please transmit your findings as soon as the analysis is complete.

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
<TFDD> ::Returns with a container which houses Y'Hor's DNA::

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@::enters the TL::  TL:  Bridge.  ::wonders if her hair is a mess::

CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
CMO: Dr. Debo will return with it shortly, I believe.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Wheel: Is there a record of the first mutation?

MO_Ens_T`Kern says:
@Computer: Emergency transport to sickbay. Engage level 10 around biobed #1 and transport!

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@*XO*:Sir, I think we may have killed or seriously damaged Stevron.

TO_Ens_King says:
@::Wonders why the OPS officer left:: All: Well she seems friendly.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
@::gets back to work::

CMO_Ens_Munro says:
::Waits taking readings::

CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
CO: I agree, sir. I intend to analyze the Jihejian data and try to find that common element.

Host The_Fifth_Wheel says:
ACTION: Seizuring Stevron is beamed to Sickbay where medical personnel immediately set to work to save the killer's life.
