USS Sharikahr: Mission Transcript #394
MISSION PROLOGUE: The Alvar have been repelled - but to what end? The USS Minerva is crippled,with  no warp drive and weapons offline. The USS Sharikahr has lost transporters but shields are back up to ninety percent.  Two Alvar vessels have been disabled and are drifting in orbit, and the Bird of Prey has yet to report back.  During the attack the Alvar did manage to get ships through the defensive line which then exploded in the upper atmosphere, dispersing some kind of biological agent.  It has been fifteen minutes since the Alvar retreated.  What was let loose on the planet?

ACTION: The colony is hailing.

FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Captain we are being hailed from the colony.
CO_Captain_Savar says:
FCO: On screen, Commander.  :: Sets his reading aside ::
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
::puts the hail on screen:: CO: On screen captain.
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
CO: Local security is deployed
Governor_McKay says:
@COM: Sharikahr: Captain, people are beginning to get sick down here.
CO_Captain_Savar says:
COM: Governor: We have begun our counter measures.  The San Sebastian should be coordinating medical efforts.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
*CO*:  My teams are ready to go down as needed... and I need a sample of whatever they have put into the atmosphere.  If it is the same as what they placed in the water... :: leaves the rest unsaid.::
Governor_McKay says:
@COM: Sharikahr: So you know we are not prepared to handle another outbreak like this. Our doctors are telling me it's worse then before.
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: has all the shuttle ready to deploy in case they need to evacuate the planet::
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::checks with the medical teams that they are ready::
CO_Captain_Savar says:
COM: Governor: You also have the additional assistance of Doctors Tiernan and Calahan.  :: Checks his records ::  I have yet to receive a report from the medical teams - what are they symptoms and how quickly is it spreading?
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
*CO*:  Permission to take a shuttle and begin collection.

@ACTION: Off screen he motions to some one and gets a PADD with information.

CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Takes the moment to respond to his CSO ::  *CSO*: Agreed.  Good luck, Commander.
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
*CSO*: I have shuttles ready to depart in shuttle bay 1.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
*FCO*:  Thank you... we will be there shortly.
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
CO: Sickbay is standing by to receive casualties
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
:: Nods to her cousin and Archimedes as she turns to grab her kit and head out of the lab.::
Governor_McKay says:
@COM: Sharikahr: The oldest population is affected the worst; in our children, the effects are less, if none at all.  Fevers, stomach cramps, and rashes have been reported.
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Permission to set up one of the cargo bays as an emergency sickbay if needed?
CO_Captain_Savar says:
CIV/FCO: Negative.  Unless the situation becomes dire, we need to contain the effects as much as possible.
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::switches to sensors and begins running LRS scans of the system::
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::turns slightly:: CO: Understood
CO_Captain_Savar says:
COM: Governor: These effects do not sound life threatening.
Teyol says:
:: Arriving swiftly at the shuttle bay, he climbs in and heads for flight to begin systems check.::
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: hears the CO's orders and resumes the need work to be done on the Shari::
Governor_McKay says:
@COM: Sharikahr: They may not sound life threatening, but the population is uneasy and for good reason.  We need your presence to calm them down.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
:: Following Archimedes in, she moves to check sensors while Archimedes prepares to gather samples.::
Teyol says:
:: Everything in order, as expected::  *FCO*: Permission to depart.
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
*Teyol*: Roger stand by.
CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Stands from his chair ::  COM: Governor: Governor McKay, I feel that would be against the stated goals of the colony.  The point of this venture was to leave the Federation and set out on your own.  Having Starfleet continue to be the face of the problem solvers undermines your authority
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Captain, the shuttle with the chief of science is ready to depart.
CO_Captain_Savar says:
FCO: Once the shuttle lands on the colony, it is considered under the quarantine
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Understood Captain.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
:: Takes a seat next to her cousin::  Teyol:  You have done this before.  The only difference is I need a couple of samples from different locations to see how the effect works.
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
CO: We should begin quarantine procedures for any equipment and personnel going planet side
Governor_McKay says:
@COM: Sharikahr: Fine, Captain.  I see.  You help get us here and leave us to whatever our fate is.
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
*Teyol*: You are free to depart. Just understand though that once you land on the planet you are part of the quarantine and are not able to leave until it is lifted.
Teyol says:
:: lifts a brow towards Sin as the shuttle lifts off::
CO_Captain_Savar says:
COM: Governor: That seems rather melodramatic and incorrect.  The colony has been going for some months now, and Starfleet has remained at your order since.  We have offered you nothing but assistance, even despite constant threats against us in kidnappings and misinformation.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
#*FCO*:  We were not planning on landing... however, we would be able to take more pertinent data if we did.
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::turns his seat to face the viewscreen::
Teyol says:
#:: Leaving the details to others, he taps a few commands that slowly lift the shuttle from the bay and then guides it out of the opened bay doors.::
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
*CSO*: You had better let the Captain know that he is under the assumption that you are landing.
Governor_McKay says:
@COM: Sharikahr: Then I am asking for your assistance once again.  The doctors have never seen anything like this.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
#*FCO*:  Understood.  However, there is one other aspect I had forgotten which you reminded me of.  Whether we land or not, we would still be under quarantine.
CO_Captain_Savar says:
COM: Governor: And you have our assistance.  However, I feel it best for the colony that you personally put the public face forward.  Describe the swift response your medical staff is undertaking, the immediate research, and additional tasks you are undertaking.

ACTION: The Bird of Prey decloaks off the starboard side of the Sharikahr.

CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
#:: turns to glance back::  SO:  Double check the EVA suits.
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::notices the sensor console beep:: CO: Skipper the Klingons just decloaked
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
*CSO*: Very true as the captain doesn't want the possible infection spread to the ship. So you just might as well land.
CO_Captain_Savar says:
CIV: Debrief the Klingons, Commander.
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
CO: Captain we should have the CSO contact Starfleet Medical. Maybe they can log our samples for the future
Governor_McKay says:
@COM: Sharikahr: I am doing what is best.  Please report any findings on what you can.  I'll update as things happen here. McKay out.
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
CO: Understood captain
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
:: opens a channel to the Klingon ship and begins debriefing their captain::
SO_Lt_Archimedes says:
#CSO: Suits are good, not to mention there are a couple of spares as needed.  The shuttle itself is well equipped.  The Electrostatic Precipitator sampler is ready.
TO_CPO_Gorger says:
:: Checking his phaser rifle as the second team assembles in the transporter room, reading to head to the Alvar vessel ::
TO_PO1_Highway says:
::heads for TR1::
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
#:: Simply nods and turns to watches the screen, the planet having grown quickly to fill it.::
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
CO: Captain the Klingon commander reports the Breen have established a sensor net to detect cloaked ships
TO_PO3_Dread says:
:: enters TR1 and waits for the rest of the team. ::
TO_PO1_Highway says:
::enters TR1::
CO_Captain_Savar says:
CIV: Do they have a position of this net?  What size fleet is maintaining the defensive grid?
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
#:: As they begin descent into the atmosphere, she begins reading through the incoming data.::
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
CO: I'm analyzing the Klingon's data now skipper
TO_PO1_Highway says:
Dread: Dread, they wrangled you for this dead beat duty, too?
TO_PO3_Dread says:
:: sees Highway enter:: Highway: Have you done many of these?
TO_PO1_Highway says:
Dread: Too many. And you?
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
#SO:  Go ahead and extend the sampler.  We will be collecting a dozen samples.  That should be... adequate.
TO_PO3_Dread says:
Highway: This is my first and to tell you the truth I am scared out of my wits.
TO_CPO_Gorger says:
:: Addresses the others ::  All: Sensors aren't reading any lifesigns, but that doesn't mean they aren't waiting for us.  Also anticipate ship-based counter-boarding measures.  Our goals will be to secure the vessel, round up any living crewmembers, and analyze their computer core.
TO_PO1_Highway says:
Dread: Don't worry kid. I'll buy you a beer when we get back
TO_PO3_Dread says:
Highway: I will hold you to that.
Teyol says:
#:: As the ship breaks atmosphere, brings the shuttle to a hovering position.::
TO_CPO_Gorger says:
All: The Chief is already on the other ship.  Let's secure this one quicker than he does his.
TO_CPO_Gorger says:
:: Steps to the transporter pad, and signals the operator to lock in the coordinates ::
SO_Lt_Archimedes says:
# CSO: The Electrostatic Precipitator sampler is extended... taking the first sample.
TO_PO3_Dread says:
:: takes up his position on the transporter pad::
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
CO: Skipper it's a small net between the Alvar border and here. Only has 3 Breen ships manning the net
TO_PO1_Highway says:
::stands ready::
CO_Captain_Savar says:
CIV: I believe we can assume the Breen to be a full ally to the Alvar at this point.
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CIV: Not that it makes any difference we aren't in any shape to take them on right now anyways.
TR_Chief says:
TO Gorger: Coordinates locked.
TO_CPO_Gorger says:
Operator: Engage.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
#*CO*:  As expected, the particles are settling to the surface.  Winds have carried it over a distance which includes the entire main colony.

$ACTION: The Security team is beamed away.

CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
CO: That would be correct Captain
TO_PO3_Dread says:
$:: Materializes on the Alvar ship::
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
CO: It would seem the political map of this sector has changed
Teyol says:
# :: As Archimedes informs him the sample is complete, he takes the ship lower for the next sample.::
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
# :: As Archimedes hands her the sample, she stands and takes it back to the small lab set-up in the back.::
CO_Captain_Savar says:
CIV: The Alvar are attempting to extend their space towards the colony.  I fully expect that they would attempt to immediately claim and annex it if the colonists were driven off.

#ACTION: As the team transport over, they smell a sweet smell and see dark halls, sparks flying everyone once in a while and dead bodies everywhere.

TO_PO1_Highway says:
$:: pulls out his tricorder and begins scanning::
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
CO: I wouldn't underestimate the Breen skipper. There has to be something in this for them
TO_PO3_Dread says:
$:: sees the mess before him and nearly looses his lunch::
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
# :: Leaving the two men to continue the sampling, she carefully prepares the first sample, having no desire to infect herself or the other two.::
TO_CPO_Gorger says:
$:: Holding his phaser with the light shining in all directions ::  Highway: What energy readings are you picking up?
TO_PO1_Highway says:
$::smiles :: Dread: Don't worry son you get used to it
TO_PO3_Dread says:
$:: keep his phaser rifle ready and follows the group::
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
#*CO*: The substance is synthetic.  I do not recognize the chemical structure, nor does the computer.  Uplinking to the ship to have them check for exotics.
TO_PO3_Dread says:
$Highway: That is easy for you to say.
CO_Captain_Savar says:
CIV: The quasarium, likely.  The Alvar may not have the technology to mine it.
CO_Captain_Savar says:
*CSO*: Understood.  Send it to the San Sebastian as well.
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
CO: Which means the Breen have as much at stake here as the Alvar
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
#*CO*:  Acknowledged.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
# :: Taps in a few commands and sends up to Teyol to forward it to the medical ship.::
TO_CPO_Gorger says:
$Highway: Energy readings?  :: Leans down to inspect a body ::
TO_PO1_Highway says:
$::begins scanning the air and bulkheads::
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CIV: The question is whether or not the Breen are using the Alvar or vise versa.
Teyol says:
# :: Forwarding the uplink, he then shifts the shuttle further outward::
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
# :: Begins the standard tests on the samples.::
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
FCO: Don't you just love galactic politics?
TO_PO1_Highway says:
$Gorger: Only minimal life support
TO_PO3_Dread says:
$::Checks his reading for any possible lifesigns that the ships sensors may have missed::
SO_Lt_Archimedes says:
# :: As the Vulcan takes them farther afield, he begins preparing the samples already taken.::
TO_PO1_Highway says:
$Gorger: Notice the foam? I'd say this was intended as a one way trip
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CIV: Oh yes I just wonder knowing the Breen if the Alvar know that they will get screwed in the end.
TO_CPO_Gorger says:
$All: Let's move on to the command center.  Highway: Likely location?
TO_PO1_Highway says:
$:: takes a sample from the body:: *CSO*: Ma'am the bodies down here have some kind of foam around the mouth. I've taken a sample and i transmitting it now
TO_PO3_Dread says:
$Highway: Is that the reason for the bad smell in here?
TO_PO1_Highway says:
$::holds the tricorder up and points in a direction:: Gorger: That way
TO_CPO_Gorger says:
$All: Let's move.  :: Walks in that direction, cautiously, but with a purpose, continuing to highlight the corridor with his phaser's light beam ::
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
# :: Quietly takes the next sample from Archimedes and begins looking it over as the computer works with the first sample.::
TO_PO1_Highway says:
$::continues scanning the air and bulkheads::
TO_PO3_Dread says:
$:: brings up the rear keeping it covered as they proceed::

$ACTION: The team approaches an open door that leads into what looks like a bridge with five stations.

CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
# :: Looks up from the newest sample and over to the first... then motions for the next sample::
TO_PO1_Highway says:
$Gorger: This should be there bridge
TO_CPO_Gorger says:
$All: Pick a console and start digging for information.  :: Steps up to the left forward console and sets his tricorder on it, trying to decode the text ::
TO_PO1_Highway says:
$::moves to console and lay there tricorder next to it and attempts to access the ships logs::
TO_PO3_Dread says:
$:: moves to one of the consoles and starts trying to access the ships logs::
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
@ :: looks up at her science officer and then over toward her cousin::  SO:  Place the samples in stasis.   Teyol:  Better speed up the sampling.

$ACTION: As everyone starts picking away at the consoles, the consoles all go dark and life support goes down. The ship is completely dead.

TO_PO1_Highway says:
$All: Ok who touched something there not supposed to?
TO_PO3_Dread says:
$:: sees what happens:: All: This isn't good.
TO_CPO_Gorger says:
$Dread: Contact the Sharikahr and request some portable power generators.  Highway: Did you pick up where the computer core was?  We'll try this directly.
TO_PO3_Dread says:
$Gorger: Aye Sir :: contacts the ship and request some portable generators::
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Captain  the security team on one of the Alvar ship is requesting portable generators as the ships power has completely failed.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
# *CO*:  Captain, the substance is breaking down rather quickly.  This is good for the planet in general, however, there appears to be a chemical bonding to organic matter; once it attaches to a 'host' if you will, it stabilizes into another substance which is causing the current symptoms in the colonists.
CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Looks concerned ::  FCO: As if they were expecting the ship to be compromised....
CO_Captain_Savar says:
CIV: Commander, are there any indications the ships carry the same biological agent as the planet?
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Shall I send the generators Captain?
CO_Captain_Savar says:
FCO: Go ahead.  But we may need to consider the Alvar ships quarantined as well.
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Understood Captain :: sends the generators and lets the Alvar ship know what is up::
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
CO: I'm getting the data in now captain. Give me a few minutes to make sure
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
#*CO*:  As the shuttle has been compromised, we are going to take a sample to the San Sebastian and have them beam it aboard.
