Summary - A Bird of Prey, the Crimson Dragon trails the Federation Starship Quirinus...and she in turn follows the Noori Cruiser Celestial. All three are en route to Crossroads Station...

Two years ago the Quirinus passed through the unstable regions of the Xherivhan on her first journey to Crossroads. Now they follow their allies, the Noori, back to their former home. Battles rage off in the distance, but nothing comes close to threatening the Quirinus.

Things have returned, full circle...

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::On the bridge of the Bird of Prey, thinking how uncomfortable it is::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::following Kraight as they exit the RR:: Starr'aela: Commander Kraight has permission to review your data.  I believe, the Counselor is arranging for your meeting with Dr. Jervase now.
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
::sits in his quarters, finishing a dictation:: Computer: ... I believe, if only on a miniscule level, I was able to get through to her. Or, at the very least, get the message across to her that we *are* actually trying to help her. I had hoped to be able to continue this further, however...
FCO_Ens_Thursson says:
@:: At the helm of the Bird of Prey, keeping her steady and hidden ::
Ambassador_Starr`aela says:
::The humanoid creature looks up at Sulek and nods to the Captain with a smile on hir face. S/he appears in the image of a young girl, with tightly bound blond curls. S/he looks sweet, innocent:: CO: Thank you, Captain...your assistance is greatly appreciated.
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
Starr'aela: When did you wish me to report to your vessel?
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Arriving at Jervase's door, she activates the chimes.::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::he sits in the captain's chair and calls up the bridge activities for the time he was gone to get the Ambassador::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@FCO: Status
CIV_Capt_Tannis says:
::in his quarters, sending off a number of messages to conclude the transactions that took place recently... he stands, and fetches a glass of water from the replicator::
Ambassador_Starr`aela says:
CSO: Once I have had a chance to speak to Lieutenant Jervase...::S/he looks over towards Sulek:: CO: With your permission, Captain - I have a similar offer for your Doctor. His offer, however is pending our arrival at the Station.
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
::clears his throat:: Computer: ... my reassignment has somewhat interrupted it. I hereby assign her case, per the agreement with Starbase command and Starfleet  Medical, to doctor Tara Williams... ::pauses as he hears the chime:: Computer: Pause recording. Door: Come in.

ACTION - Tannis' console flickers and the screen goes black.

CMO_LtJG_Alexander says:
::Putters around sickbay finishing some experiments, paperwork.::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Quietly enters the room as the doors slide open, a smile on her face.::
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
@:: Back on the Bridge of the bird of prey, trying not to think about Ranuck ::
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
Starr`aela, CO: Then with your permission, Ambassador... and yours, Captain... I will excuse myself to pack a few necessities.
CIV_Capt_Tannis says:
::frowns, slamming his glass on his table... he walks up to the console, and tries to reinitialize the console... but he's not exactly an engineer:: Self: What is wrong with this thing...
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::he sends the text of Trogdo's message to the CD and message that Kraight and Jervase may be going aboard the Celestial::
FCO_Ens_Thursson says:
@XO: Not much to report, sir. Everything seems to be working fine.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Starr'aela: You need the doctor to study a subspace anomaly, Ambassador?
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::at Bridge station::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@FCO: That’s a switch. CTO: How long can we remain cloaked? Indefinitely?

ACTION - White text scrolls across the screen of Tannis' computer. "Contact the Listener. Remind her of her duty. You will both be contacted soon."

MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
::looks up at the now opened door:: CNS: Counsellor. To what do I owe the pleasure? Or have you decided to corner me for an evaluation before I've even unpacked? ::grins::
CIV_Capt_Tannis says:
*CEO*: Lieutenant, is there- ::he stops, reading the text on his screen:: Never mind, lieutenant. False alarm.
FCO_Ens_Thursson says:
@XO: Well, as fine as it can get on this bucket of bolts, sir.
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: exits the bridge ::
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
@XO: Until our energy runs out, I think.  I'm not up on cloaking design and specifications
CMO_LtJG_Alexander says:
::Walks over to her plants, and humming to herself, decides to sprinkle them with some water.::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@FCO: I agree. The ship is garbage
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CTO: Being as it's a tactical device I thought you might know
Ambassador_Starr`aela says:
::S/he gives a soft, girlish chuckle:: CO: No, Captain, my apologies. Following your departure, the Ko'ra attempted to launch a viral attack on our allies, the Vo. Doctor Jervase, if I recall, has some speciality when it comes to genetically enhanced infections.
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
@XO: You'd think that, wouldn't you?  I'll keep an eye on it, let you know if anything goes amiss with it
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Starr'aela: Ahh, of course.  The doctor has continued the study, even after our departure. Permission is of course granted.

ACTION - Captain Tannis' console goes black once more and then flickers before returning to normal.

CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
MO: Ignoring the fact you do need an update, no.  Starr'aela, our new ambassador of the Noori would like to speak with you.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Starr'aela:  Is this virus that I should be concerned about for my crew's safety?
CMO_LtJG_Alexander says:
::Moves to one plant and carefully examines the leaves and developing bud.:: Soon my pretty you will be in bloom... pity it only lasts for one day.  ::Sprinkles water on the plant, careful to lightly cover the blue-gleen leaves with water for this one.::
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::running system scans::
Ambassador_Starr`aela says:
::S/he shakes her head and floats around the bridge casually:: CO: Not to my knowledge, Captain. The outbreak has been vocalized on the Vo homeworld. We have samples for Doctor Jervase to study aboard the Station.
CIV_Capt_Tannis says:
::sitting back against his seat, thinking about the message that just presented itself on his screen...:: 
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: makes his way first to the new nano-technology lab... he gets an equipment case, and packs a specially enhanced tricorder he has been working on, some miscellaneous instruments, and  --  after a few moments pause  --  four small containers of nanites ::
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CNS: New Ambassador, eh? ::gets up, and nods:: Computer: Computer, attach case files located in directory Jervase 3 5 to the report, and save for later additions. ::motions Azhure to go ahead of him should she choose::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Starr'aela: Thank you for this information.  Viral warfare is not pleasant.  It has been banned in the Federation since its founding.
Ambassador_Starr`aela says:
CO: As it should be. ::Said in a matter of fact, though somewhat airy tone::
CIV_Capt_Tannis says:
Computer: Where is Counselor Azure at the moment?
Ambassador_Starr`aela says:
<Computer> CIV: Commander Azhure is currently located on Deck Three.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Turns to leave:: MO: I believe there was an attack on the Vo with a genetically enhanced virus.  They have some samples for you to study and perhaps would just like to discuss things with you.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*CNS* Has Dr. Jervase been informed?
CMO_LtJG_Alexander says:
Outloud: Ohh I have ignored you my little tree haven't I?  ::Picks up the clippers from the counter and decides to trim her bonsai::
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::checks the long range sensors and sees only Noori ships, nothing of importance at the moment::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::ponders::
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: goes to his quarters, replicates and packs two extra uniforms, a few toiletries peculiar to Benzites, and a small selection of insect-based snacks ::
CIV_Capt_Tannis says:
::thinks... Dr. Jervase.:: *CNS*: Tannis to Counselor Azhure.

ACTION - For a brief moment the plant beside the bonsai tree seems to shrivel and die...but only a moment later seems to be flourishing as if nothing were wrong.

CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
*CO*: Yes he has.  I am bringing him to the conference room now.
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
::just shakes his head:: CNS: Can't say I'm anxious to be back aboard that station. ::walks next to Azhure, not saying anything else as the comm comes in::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*CNS* I will send the Ambassador to meet him.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: smiles understanding at Jervase.:: *CIV*: Yes Captain?

ACTION - Without warning the Bird of Prey begins to veer away from the Quirinus and off of the main path. Sensors detect they are on a collision course with one of the regions many unstable anomalies...

CMO_LtJG_Alexander says:
::Notices the plant shrivel and grow back again.  Blinks hard:: What the??  ::Accidentally snaps the clippers and a branch of the bonsai falls severed to the floor.:: oh dear...
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@FCO: Hard about
CIV_Capt_Tannis says:
*CNS*: Counselor, it occurs to me that I still have yet to complete my evaluation with the ship's counselor. Isn't that the case?
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Starr'aela: If you would follow this ensign, ::indicates to one of the people on the bridge:: she will guide you to the conference room to meet with the doctor.
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: drops off his baggage in the transporter and returns to the bridge ::
Ambassador_Starr`aela says:
::The Noori Ambassador bows politely and hovers over towards the Ensign. S/he is lead off of the bridge in silence::
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
CO: Sir, I am going to head down to engineering, need to run some routine maintenance.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
*CIV*: This is correct... you are on a 'when you are available' status.  :: smiles::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Steps into the lift with the doctor.::
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
CNS: And you, counsellor? How've you been holding out. ::avoids mentioning anything specific... for now::
FCO_Ens_Thursson says:
@XO: Auto-pilot seems to have kicked in. :: tries to override ::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
CEO: Granted
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
CO: Aye sir, thank you.
CMO_LtJG_Alexander says:
::Puts the clippers down and removes a tricorder from the draw.  She begins scanning the plant that had appeared dead moments ago.::
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CO: I am ready to leave when the Ambassador is, sir.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::gets up and heads down with a task list in hand::
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::enters TL:: TL: Main Engineering.

ACTION - The auto-pilot is over-ridden, however the Bird of Prey continues on course towards the anomaly. Collision in 1 minute.

CO_Capt_Sulek says:
CSO: Good.  S/he is meeting with the doctor now.
FCO_Ens_Thursson says:
@:: tries to correct the course ::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@FCO: Just keep us - COM: Quirinus: We may need an emergency beam out 

ACTION - The Bird of Prey levels off under Thursson's steady hand...

CIV_Capt_Tannis says:
*CNS*: Absolutely... we all have busy schedules, naturally. But I realize that we must make time sometimes, to do the things that we must do, even if we may not necessarily like it... as is the case now, with my evaluation. So, please see to your schedule and see when you may be able to fit me in. We understand each other, I trust?
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
MO: It has been... difficult.   Peace has not been my companion.  :: steps off the lift and leads him into the conference room.::
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: nods ... seats himself at Science One ::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@COM: Quirinus: Belay that.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::reading the text:: *TR Chief* Lock on to ...stand by.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@FCO: Can you keep her under control?
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::exits TL and walks towards warp core and main operations::
CIV_Capt_Tannis says:
*CNS*: Oh... and, if you find that you're unable to arrange a time for me, perhaps I may drop by later this afternoon to make sure that we can... work something out, yes?
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Considers the mans words and with holds a sigh::  *CIV*: I will be available in about five minutes if you are.
CMO_LtJG_Alexander says:
How... odd.  ::Takes a sample of one of the blue green leaves and places it under the microscope.  She looks at it to check for any anomalies at the cellular level and runs a bioelectrical scan.::
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
@XO: Now, I'm sure the young Ensign just got nervous.
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
CNS: ::nods:: If you decide you need anything, you know I'm always available. This is one area of this... ::coughs:: region I can safely say I'm a near expert in. ::just shakes his head again, and pulls up a chair::
CIV_Capt_Tannis says:
*CNS*: Well, there is no rush. Let's say, two hours from now. To give you time to prepare.
FCO_Ens_Thursson says:
@XO: I believe so, sir. From what I can tell, it looks like the pirates programmed an auto-pilot to take the ship back to its home port after so long.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COM XO: ::maintaining text communications:: Report, are you stable?
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
*CIV*: I have nothing to prepare.  But as you wish.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@FCO: As long as you are able to disable it, continue, let us know if it's something we'll need to ditch this thing for
FCO_Ens_Thursson says:
@XO: Aye, sir.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
MO: Who councils the counselor?  What I need is not within my grasp just yet.
CIV_Capt_Tannis says:
*CNS*: Excellent. I will check in with you in two hours' time. Don't forget. Tannis out.
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
CNS: That's why they assigned a second one isn't it? ::grins::
CMO_LtJG_Alexander says:
Hmm... looks normal.  Computer; run the bioelectrical signature from the sample through the database, try to identify with anything in records...

ACTION - The doors to the Conference Room slide open to reveal Starr'aela and hir escort. The Noori Ambassador is almost identical to Starr'entia, the former Ambassador who attempted to sabotage Crossroads Station a year earlier. S/he smiled and hovers into the room.

CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::grabs an engineering kit and heads over to the Jeffries tubes:: All: If anyone needs me I will be calibrating the plasma injectors.
Ambassador_Starr`aela says:
CNS: Commander, MO: Lieutenant...
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
MO: My assistant is... :: pauses and turns toward the door.::

ACTION - The computer identifies a match almost immediately - the bioelectric energy is Noori in origin.

CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Bows her head lightly::
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
::just nods:: CNS: The offer's not going anywhere. ::says nothing more, and nods to the ambassador:: Amb: Ambassador...
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::turning to science:: CSO: Bring  the subspace echo sensors on line.
CIV_Capt_Tannis says:
::leaning back... and gets up:: Computer: Reset console, and lock out to all except myself, as usual, authorization Tannis-Epsilon-Gamma-3-Mu-Omega. ::he returns the class to the replicator, carefully rearranges the padds on his desk, and steps out of his quarters::
CMO_LtJG_Alexander says:
::Looks at the results.:: Well at least it wasn't the fertilizer I bought from that Ferengi....  ::Taps her badge.::  *CO* Doctor Alexander to the Captain...
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
Starr'aela/MO: I shall leave you two to your discussion, unless there is something I can get for you?
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CO: Aye, sir.  :: moves to comply ::
FCO_Ens_Thursson says:
@XO: It's disabled, sir.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*CMO* Sulek here.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@FCO: Good, keep us on course with the Quirinus
CMO_LtJG_Alexander says:
*CO* This may be nothing sir... but my dark moon rose just died and came back to life before my eyes... and now it's saturated completely by a Noori energy signature...
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
::tries to shove the striking similarity out of his mind, for the moment at least:: Ensign: Thank you ensign. Did the captain have you do anything else?
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
@:: Avoids taping his fingers on the console by inventorying their weaponry... again ::
Ambassador_Starr`aela says:
CNS: Thank you Counselor...your generosity is humbling. ::S/he smiles::
Ambassador_Starr`aela says:
<Ensign> MO: No, sir.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::climbs further into the Jeffries tubes and gets to the port injectors::
CIV_Capt_Tannis says:
::trusting that the counselor understood him well, he steps into the turbolift:: Turbolift: Bridge.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*CMO* Understood.  Run a full scan of your quarters.
CMO_LtJG_Alexander says:
::Walks to the computers results, and tries to identify the biofield to a specific Noori.::
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
Ensign: Then you're dismissed. ::nods in thanks to the counsellor, then turns his attention to the ambassador::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: With a smile, leaves.::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Leaving, heads for medical.::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
CSO: Scan of Noori energy signatures on the ship.  One of their energy forces may have gone astray.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::attempts to sit:: CTO: Not real comfortable here.
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CO: Calibrating internal sensors...

ACTION - The Ensign and Azhure both leave and the Noori Ambassador floats over towards Jervase silently.

CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
@XO: I don't have a chair, sir.
Ambassador_Starr`aela says:
MO: It is a great honour to meet you, Lieutenant Jervase.
CMO_LtJG_Alexander says:
*CO* It was my plant in sickbay sir... and I will start  a full scan and keep you appraised.  Zee out.  ::Takes the plant and places it on the bio-bed::  Aside to nurse: Looks like our patient today is a my plant... ::Activates the clam.::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::stands:: CTO: Consider yourself lucky
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::takes injectors offline and doors to section close behind him:: Self: Damn it I must have tripped a safety protocol by accident.
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: scans the internal volume of the Q for Noori energy signatures ::
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
::tilts his head a degree to the side:: Amb: And you, ambassador. Can I get you anything? ::still doesn't have a clue what in the world these people eat, but... have to be courteous and all, right?::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*CMO* If you find anything, immediately erect containment field.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
Computer: Override safety lock out section R12 and open the doors.
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
@XO: Uh, yes, Commander.  Lucky me!
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: As the double glass doors open she steps in side.::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
CSO: How long before completion of internal scans?

ACTION - An indicator on the cloaking field blinks yellow. The icon possibly means "Cloak" but it could also mean "Toilet Malfunction."

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::mildly irritated:: CTO: I know this isn't the most pleasant detail. Just make it through it
FCO_Ens_Thursson says:
@:: chuckles :: XO, CTO: I like it here.
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
@:: Smiles at the XO ::  XO: Now you know why the Klingons drink so much
CIV_Capt_Tannis says:
::he steps off the turbolift onto the bridge::
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: turns :: CO: They are complete now, sir. There are no additional Noori on board. The energy field we have encountered is that of the Celestial herself. She is leaving a trail, or wake, of Noori bio-energy behind her. We are following her course, and thus the ship is permeated by the energy.
Ambassador_Starr`aela says:
MO: No, thank you, Doctor. ::S/he smiles and nods once:: MO: I believe you are familiar with the Ko'ra retro-virus encountered by your people on Crossroads Station during one of your diplomatic summits?
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CTO: it would have to be a prerequisite
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::hears error chime and attempts manual override::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
CMO: Good to see you.  :: Looks curiously at the shell with no ones limbs showing.::
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
@:: Looks down at his screen and points at the yellow blinky thing ::  XO: That might not be good.
CMO_LtJG_Alexander says:
*CO* Aye sir...  ::Increases the scanners resolution to as high as they will go, using the same deep scans she used on the CNS months ago to detect the deeper signs of damage.::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::Looks at the panel:: CTO: What the hell is it? I hate trying to read Klingon.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
CSO: Can we re-enforce shields to filter out extraneous bio energy from the Celestial's wake?
CMO_LtJG_Alexander says:
::looks up.:: CNS: Oh... hello!
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
CSO: We may also wish to warn the Crimson Dragon.
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
Amb: Far too familiar, to be honest. If I remember correctly, your predecessor was one of those infected with it.
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CO: I believe so. I will calculate the necessary adjustments.  :: turns back to his console ::
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::manual override doesn't work:: Self: Well might as well just do the work then get out of here. ::takes first injector and starts to clean it out::
CIV_Capt_Tannis says:
CO: Captain. ::tips his head slightly, then heads to one of the tactical consoles to check up on a summary from the sensors::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
CMO: It has been awhile.  We loose both our chief doctors at once and they return at the same time.  I am wondering in this world of omens I appear to be treading if this is another one.  ::Smiles wryly.::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*CSO* It may be stray bio-matter from the wake of the Celestial.  We are attempting to compensate now.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
CIV: Captain...
Ambassador_Starr`aela says:
::S/he nods:: MO: Unfortunately yes. It appears that the Ko'ra have engineered a new virus, which they have since unleashed upon our allies. It was the hope of the Aeon that you would aid us in determing a cure for this infection.
CMO_LtJG_Alexander says:
CNS: Hopefully a sign of good omens to come...  ::Smiles::
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
Amb: Well, I can definitely make the attempt. Ko'ra technology is still a fair bit unfamiliar to me, though, so guarantees aren't coming from this.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Looks through the window to see a plant:: CMO: A rather... unusual patient.
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
@XO: Well, my Klingon's a little rusty, but it looks like there's some interference from an external source with the cloak.  Can't narrow it down at the moment... it's still on, but maybe not for much longer.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::starts to scan with a tricorder the first injector for cracks or seal leaks::
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CO: Calculations complete. We can screen out the Noori bio-energy. Adjusting the shield harmonics now. I have also transmitted this information to the Crimson Dragon.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CTO: Damn. Inform the Quirinus, using the text only protocol we worked out
CMO_LtJG_Alexander says:
CNS: Yes...    ::Looks over her shoulder to the nurse.:: MO: Put a containment field around the plant.  ::looks back to the counselor.:: Actually it is somewhat of a myster...
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
@XO: Aye.  :: Begins inputting the message into the transceiver for immediate delivery, and hits send ::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
CMO: I am surrounded by mysteries of late.  I gladly bow to someone else enjoying such.  What is this mystery?
Ambassador_Starr`aela says:
MO: Of course, Lieutenant...of course. All we ask is that you try. ::The Ambassador hovers away slightly:: We have arranged for five samples for you at Crossroads Station, to be examined upon your arrival.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::scans indicate a foreign substance, tricorder reads it as bio-energy signature::
CIV_Capt_Tannis says:
::nodding slightly as he watches the others work on the Noori signatures, he earmarks the sensor logs, and heads back for the turbolift::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CTO: How much warning will we have before it goes?
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
Amb: I'll certainly have a look, ambassador. You wouldn't happen to have any preliminary information on them I could look over?
CMO_LtJG_Alexander says:
CNS: Well I was trimming my bonsai when my dark moon rose suddenly shrivelled and died before my eyes, then grew back to life just as it appeared before.  I scanned it and it seems to be infused with a Noori bio-signature...
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
@:: shrugs apologetically ::
Ambassador_Starr`aela says:
MO: I'm afraid not, Lieutenant. I am just the messenger...::S/he hovers over towards the door:: Now, my apologies, but if you will excuse me, I have, what is the term? A date, with your Commander Kraight.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
CMO: Perhaps residual from being in relatively close contact.
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
::nods:: Amb: Oh, of course. ::gets up, and makes his way out a few paces behind the ambassador, but his course is for sickbay::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COM Text XO: See if new shield configurations clear the cloak.

ACTION - The Ambassador hovers towards the door, but it doesn't open for hir. As Jervase approaches, the Ensign nods and Starr'aela glides out, requesting to be taken back to the bridge.

CMO_LtJG_Alexander says:
CNS: Perhaps... but I determined it wasn't from Starr'aela or Qui'dinjori....have their been other Noori's on the ship since I was away?
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::Inputs the parameters:: CTO: You're cloaking problems should be over
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Helm: ETA to Crossroads?
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
CMO: We are trailing a ship full of them.  :: Moves to sit down::  How are you doing these days?
Ambassador_Starr`aela says:
<Helm> CO: At present course and speed, two hours.
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
::steps into a TL:: TL: Sickbay. ::taps his badge:: *Computer*: Computer, draft and attach a notice of reassignment. Include it with my current report in progress.
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
*Computer*: Transmit the report when finished to Starfleet Medical. CC to lieutenant commander Tara Williams.
CMO_LtJG_Alexander says:
::Gulps and thinks about how Qui's field once messed with her personal containment field.: CNS: Oh... fine...  ::Looks neurotically at the plant on the bio-bed.::

ACTION - Ambassador Starr'aela glides onto the bridge of the U.S.S. Quirinus. "Captain Sulek..."

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
COM Text CO: Thanks. Cleared right up
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::taps comm badge:: *CMO* Sir there is something here you might want to check out.
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
::gets the acknowledgement from the computer, just in time to step off the lift and head towards sickbay::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Catches the doctors expression and stands to get a medical tricorder.  She does a scan of the CMO:::
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CO: I must report to sickbay for...  :: looks at Starr'aela  ::  ... my pre-departure medical scan, sir.
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
::steps into sickbay, and makes his way through the main area, past the CMO and counsellor, both of whom get a slight nod::
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::takes deeper scans and starts to collect samples and stores injector into parts canister for transport::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Starr'aela: Your meeting is complete.  Ambassador, you should know that we have had a few problems with the bio-energy your wake leaves.  We have however compensated for it.
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
@XO: Maybe, maybe not... it's working but not completely.  This isn't quite as robust as a Starfleet vessel
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
CSO: Understood
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
Starr'aela: I will await you in the transporter room, Ambassador.  :: exits the bridge ::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CTO: See if you can use the baseline parameters to make situational adjustments as necessary
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
CMO: You are fine.  As long as you do not come into direct contact with too much of their energy.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Nods to Jervase::
Ambassador_Starr`aela says:
CO: My apologies, Captain...we were unaware of any effects our technology may have upon your own. ::S/he nods to Kraight as he leaves:: With your permission, I shall return to the Celestial with your Commander, post haste.
CIV_Capt_Tannis says:
::gets off the turbolift, and enters the lounge::
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
::pulls up a spot with a side console, and keys in a command to maintain a monitor lock on commander Viera's file::

ACTION - The Celestial makes a course adjustment to avoid a nearby anomaly. The Quirinus helm officer adjusts to compensate and the Quirinus' deck plating vibrates as they near the fissure...

CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Starr'aela: Of course.  I just thought your should know for future reference in dealing with other similar technologies.
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: arrives in sickbay ::  CMO: Doctor... May I have a moment of your time, please?
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Looks at Kraight with a smile::
CMO_LtJG_Alexander says:
::Nods to Jervase, and glances back to the plant...::  CSO: Oh, hello... yes of course....
CMO_LtJG_Alexander says:
CSO: In my office?
CIV_Capt_Tannis says:
::getting a coffee, he sits down by himself, and continues off from where he ended last, in his review of Eula, the counselor, and Qui…::
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
::is about to tend to Kraight, but Alexander beats him to it, so goes about the business of helping the occasional med tech with cleanup::
FCO_Ens_Thursson says:
@:: keeps the Crimson Dragon in line behind the Quirinus ::

ACTION - The Klingon Bird of Prey shakes and almost feels as if she's going to fall apart as they move past the unstable subspace anomaly.

CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CMO: I will shortly be leaving to join the Ambassador aboard the Noori vessel. The Captain has asked that this...  :: displays a tiny transponder ::  ...be implanted subdermally before I leave.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
*CMO*: Are you there, there is some weird unidentifiable substance on my plasma injectors, it's biological in nature. I need you to take a look at it.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Self: Great....
FCO_Ens_Thursson says:
@XO: Just a little turbulence, sir. :: smiles ::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
All: I will leave you gentlemen to business.  Doctors, when you have time, my open door is waiting you and your evaluations.
CMO_LtJG_Alexander says:
CSO: Just a moment.... *CEO* Someone will be there shortly....
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
CNS: Counsellor, the last time we were here we barely had time to breathe. You may want to hold off on the evaluations... ::smiles::
CMO_LtJG_Alexander says:
MO: Dr Jervase, can I ask a favour of you?  I've been investigation a mystery with one of my plants that seems to have spread to engineering... could you please implant the transponder for Cmdr. Kraight?
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: starts to leave, humour in her voice.::  MO: And here I thought you liked talking to me.  Tisk tisk... when you have the opportunity... just not in two hours.
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
::nods once to Alexander:: CNS: I do. Just not in between natural disasters. ::makes his way over to Kraight:: CSO: Let's have a look, commander.

ACTION - Life support in the personnel quarters on the Crimson Dragon fail as the ship is slightly rattled. They clear the anomaly’s grasp and continue on course...

CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: As the doors close behind her she heads for her office.::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::notes the failure on his console, having moved to what passes for science::
CMO_LtJG_Alexander says:
MO/CSO: Thank you... and doctor...  ::looks over to the bio-bed.:: keep an eye on the plant.  ::Steps out of sickbay with her med kit.::
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: hands the transponder to Jervase, and rolls up his sleeve ::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Entering her office, she moves to sit behind her desk.  There she stares at the blank screen of her monitor for a moment.::
CMO_LtJG_Alexander says:
::Enters turbo.:: Engineering...
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
::shoots a look where Alexander indicated, then raises an eyebrow, waiting until after she's left:: Self: And they told me at starbase *I* had an unusual way of doing things. ::smirks, and carefully injects the implant into Kraight's forearm::
FCO_Ens_Thursson says:
@:: continues to keep the Crimson Dragon on a stable course ::
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
MO: Thank you, Doctor. Let us hope this precaution turns out to be unnecessary.
CMO_LtJG_Alexander says:
::Steps out of the turbo and walks down the corridor, arriving in ME.::
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
CSO: I always do, commander. It just usually turns out to be the difference.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::finishes collecting samples::

ACTION - The holographic viewscreen on the Quirinus shifts to show a long range view of Crossroads Station. Ambassador Starr'aela takes a moment to enjoy the view. It seems peaceful, almost tranquil. Shame it won't last long. Fire and destruction are in store for Crossroads Station...that is for certain...
