USS Sharikahr: Mission Transcript #395
MISSION PROLOGUE: The away team has managed to get power up on the Alvar vessel they disabled. Its crew all committed suicide by poison. In the meantime, the CSO has begun looking into the biological agent that was released into the air.  So far, five deaths have been reported from the contaminant. Will the crew of the Sharikahr be able to find a cure in time to save the colony? Will they be able to save themselves?

::checks his containment suit::
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
@ :: Once again back on the planet using the module left behind from last times use, only with less equipment.::
Teyol says:
@:: Finishes dusting off the last of the equipment::  CSO:  This is the last.
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: checks the quarantine grid to make sure that it is still working::
TO_PO1_Highway says:
#*CSO*: Ma'am did you get the results of those Alvar tissue samples? Seems they took some kind of poison
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
@ Teyol:  At least it is the basics.

ACTION: All is quiet on scanners.

TO_PO3_Dread says:
#:: watches as the power come back up on the consoles::
TO_CPO_Gorger says:
#:: Double checks the connections to the computer core as they work on starting to download the data ::
TO_PO1_Highway says:
#::checks the PADD that is downloading the Alvar database::

#ACTION: All the lights come on and the humming of power is heard.

TO_PO1_Highway says:
#Dread: And now we have power
SO_Lt_Archimedes says:
@:: Enters the makeshift lab::  CSO:  Ma'am, I have everything pretty much tied into the shuttle.
CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Silently watching the viewscreen and the planet orbiting below, as if he could draw answers from the image ::
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#::Has herself beamed aboard one of the Alvar vessels to assist with the efforts there::
TO_PO3_Dread says:
#Highway: Next time let's remember to bring along a couple of engineers to do this stuff. :: nods at the generators::
TO_PO1_Highway says:
#Dread: Humpf engineers are overrated
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#Dread: So, what did I miss?
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
@ Teyol/SO:  Then lets continue.  We have the prelims already completed which have told us basically nothing.  We are the next step.
TO_PO3_Dread says:
#Highway: I know that but they are handy to do the manual labor though. :: Grins::

ACTION: Incoming transmission from the planet surface.

TO_CPO_Gorger says:
#:: Taps his combadge ::  *Highway*: Any luck up there?
SO_Lt_Archimedes says:
@ :: With a nod he begins with the first set of samples.::
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::begins running sensors sweeps of the planet::
TO_PO3_Dread says:
#CEO: You looking for someone Ma'am?
TO_PO1_Highway says:
#Dread: They have a self inflated ego
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
@*Dread*: Not yet... how did you send them?
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Captain we have an incoming hail from the planet.
CO_Captain_Savar says:
FCO: On screen, Commander.
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#Dread: Who is in charge here? I was sent to assist with the mission here.
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Aye sir on screen now

ACTION: The Governor appears on the screen.

TO_PO1_Highway says:
#*Gorger*: Negative. Seems the universal translator can't translate their language and their technology isn't compatible with ours
TO_PO3_Dread says:
#CEO: That would be Gorger and he is somewhere in the lower levels.
Teyol says:
@ :: Sets up the electromagnetic scope::
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#Dread/Highway: Just so you know, I was Special Forces and Tactical before I started fixing things. So... don't be too hasty to judge all us engineers.
TO_PO3_Dread says:
#CEO: Is that supposed to impress us?
SO_Lt_Archimedes says:
@ :: Adding an antigen to one set, he then takes it over to Teyol::
TO_PO1_Highway says:
#CEO: Really? Special Forces? You don't say ::slaps Dread on the back:: Look there son a real cut lunch commando
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#Dread: Just acquainting you with the facts. Be impressed or not. Your call.
Governor_McKay says:
@COM: Sharikahr: Our doctors have tissue samples and such, is there anywhere you need them that can be of use?
TO_PO3_Dread says:
#:: chuckles:: Highway: And I thought I was the only newbie here.
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#*Gorger*: Chief, I'm onboard to lend assistance. How can you use my talents?
TO_CPO_Gorger says:
#*CEO*: Commander, we're having difficulty getting our technology to interface with the computer core.
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#*Gorger*: Understood. I'll get to work on it and let you know what I find out. Hembrook out.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
@ :: reaching up to scratch the tip of her nose she stops and sighs.::  Teyol: Teyol, how are we in marking this place as quarantined?  I can work far more quickly if not wearing one of these suits.
TO_PO1_Highway says:
#Dread: Don't worry son. After a few drinks I'll have you believing you're the Admiral himself
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#Dread: I was also a Nurse before I even joined Starfleet, but who is counting, eh? ::winks and heads off to locate the computer core and get to work::
TO_PO3_Dread says:
#:: watches the CEO leave:: Highway: And I thought Captains were full of themselves. :: nods at the departing CEO::
TO_PO1_Highway says:
#::rechecks the samples he took and prepares to resend them::
Teyol says:
@ CSO:  If we have everything inside we need, I can seal the chamber back up and do a quick vacuum of the surrounding air.  It will not get everything, but the place was also sealed before the incident.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
@ Teyol:  See what you can do.
Governor_McKay says:
@COM: Sharikahr: Didn't know if you wanted them to go to the San Sebastian or if the people with you will be needing it?
TO_PO1_Highway says:
#*CSO*: Ma'am I have additional samples where you want me to send them?
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
@ :: Preps the water samples::
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
@*Highway*:  We are sealing the lab off.  I need you to do all future samples through beaming.
TO_PO3_Dread says:
#Highway: What if we just scan what comes up on the consoles into the tricorders and then send it to the Sharikahr you think they can come up with what this is saying?
CO_Captain_Savar says:
COM: Governor: The San Sebastian is acting as our primary databank, Governor.
TO_PO1_Highway says:
#*CSO*: Understood. I'll resend them via secure transport
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
@ :: checks for pH levels.::
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
@*Highway*:  Acknowledged.
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#::Locates the computer and begins examining it in detail, both with tricorder scans and a with physical exams as well, trying to understand how it works and how to get it talking to Starfleet stuff::
Governor_McKay says:
@COM: Sharikahr: Fine, tissue samples of the deceased are being transported there now. Just letting you know.  And more and more people ae getting sick.  I have been told some of the adults are starting to get worse, and just had 3 more deaths.
SO_Lt_Archimedes says:
@ :: Completes the electromagnetic slides of the first samples and lays them out for comparison.::
TO_PO1_Highway says:
#Dread: Send these samples to the CSO via secure transport
CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: nods grimly ::  COM: Governor: The doctors are working at top efficiency.  Are the immune system boosters helping?
TO_PO3_Dread says:
#Highway: Aye sir :: prepares the samples for transport:: Send them now sir.
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
:: runs a check on the planets security forces::
TO_PO1_Highway says:
#Dread: Good lad. Now if we can only keep you from becoming an officer there is hope for you yet
Governor_McKay says:
@COM: Sharikahr: Hard to tell, this thing is progressing fast.  I am sure it is helping, but all our doctors are so busy just trying to keep them conferrable.
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:; checks the ships power reading::
TO_PO3_Dread says:
#Highway: Never happen I don't like just sitting around giving orders. :: Grins::
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
CO: Captain recommend we cross reference all of the colony's personnel records for former Starfleet personnel to augment the planet's security forces
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::looks up form his console:: CO: Things are beginning to get dicey down there skipper
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#*Gorger*: Chief, I think I have made some headway. I'm beginning to puzzle out the basics like ship operations. I'll get the main systems and life support settled and then work on the data stuff.
CO_Captain_Savar says:
COM: Governor: Let us know how we can assist.  :: Behind his back, holds up a single finger to Commander Wall, hoping to not split his attention at the moment ::
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
@ :: samples prepared, she hands them over to Archimedes to place in the centrifuge::
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#::Brings main power and life support online and starts looking for the data files::
Governor_McKay says:
@COM: Sharikahr: I will do. Arcadia out.
TO_CPO_Gorger says:
#*CEO*: Excellent news, thank you, Commander.
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
:: turns back to his console and monitors the colony's security network::
CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Turns from the viewscreen ::  CIV: Is the situation on the colony becoming unstable?
Teyol says:
@:: Completes sealing the module::  Teyol/CSO:  Prepare for depressurization and voiding.
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
CO: The general population is becoming unsettled. Wont be long before panic sets in and we have full scale riots on our hands
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
@ :: Nods and takes the moment to tie into the ship's computers and run what they have so far.::
TO_PO3_Dread says:
#:: feels the air getting better:: Highway: Looks like that engineer may have stumbled across the life support systems.
CO_Captain_Savar says:
CIV: Having trained colonists helping to quell the riots would be helpful.  They are the neighbors and faces of the colony themselves.
SO_Lt_Archimedes says:
@ :: Makes sure the samples are secure::  Teyol:  I'm good over here.
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#*Gorger*: I'm making headway here Chief, what data were we interested in as a priority? Medical and Tactical files?
TO_CPO_Gorger says:
#*CEO*: Possibly medical files at first.  Hopefully they're carrying something about the virus.
Teyol says:
@ :: activates the commands and watches as the gauge drops to zero.  After a moment he activates the backup cycling unit::
CO_Captain_Savar says:
*CSO*: Commander, Governor McKay reports that additional samples have been transferred to the San Sebastian.
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#*Gorger*: Right, I found the medical database. There's a locked file in here, like a command classification. Give me some time to try to get in.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
@ :: scanning the information::  All/*CO*:  I have some information for you and technically, we should not be surprised.
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
CO: I'll liaise with the head of their security forces. We should prepare for total social destabilization and collapse
CO_Captain_Savar says:
CIV: I do hope the situation does not become that dire.
SO_Lt_Archimedes says:
@ :: Looks up and listens::
CO_Captain_Savar says:
*CSO*: Go ahead.
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#::attempts to bypass the lockout and get access to the data::
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
CO: Makes two of us skipper
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
@ *CO*: It is biological in nature.  According to the database, I can find a base match to a Breen virus.  This one is not the same, most likely it has been mutated.
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::opens a secure link with the colonies security chief and begins preparations::
Teyol says:
@ :: As the bar reaches safety levels, he does a scan of the room::
CO_Captain_Savar says:
*CSO*: Any progress on unraveling its genetic code?  Or its methods of transmission?
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#*CO*: Captain, I've been able to get into the Alvar computer and got into a locked file. I found the name Breen, among other data. I thought you should know straight away.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
@*CO*: It is airborne, taken in through the air passages.
TO_PO3_Dread says:
#:: continues to look at the data coming across the console:: Highway: I wonder if we could get one of those people that study alien languages over here to try and figure this out? :: points to the console::
SO_Lt_Archimedes says:
@ :: Takes the samples from the centrifuge and completes the first scan of them.::
CO_Captain_Savar says:
*CEO*: One moment, Commander.  :: Ties in the two communications channels ::  *CSO/CEO*: Commander So'tsoh, Commander Hembrook has uncovered information from the Alvar's computer core.
TO_PO1_Highway says:
#Dread: You mean one of those pointy eared fellas?
SO_Lt_Archimedes says:
@:: Hands it to her and then begins to prep the poison samples.::
TO_PO3_Dread says:
#Highway:  Yeah one of those I guess.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
@ :: Listens as she continues to work::
TO_PO1_Highway says:
#Dread: Well once the Chief cracks their computer they'll dump everything into the ship's main computer ::opens a hip flask and offers it to Dread::
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#*CO*: There is both medical and tactical data in this file Captain. Are you ready for me to send it over to the ship?
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
@ :: reads through the most recent data.::  *CO*: The substance breaks down, dissipating within a few hours.  We have our samples in stasis.  Once the substance is gone, it should be gone.
TO_PO3_Dread says:
#::looks at the flask:: Highway: You really think we should while on duty?
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::listens into the conversation::
CO_Captain_Savar says:
*CEO*: Please.  *CSO*: Are you claiming that the virus will destroy itself within a few hours?
TO_PO1_Highway says:
#Dread: It's only a mix of fruit juices
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
@ *CO*:  It becomes inert.  However, I do not have any tissue samples to work with to let you know about the affects on them.
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#::establishes a COMM data link and sends the data from the locked file over to the Sharikahr::
TO_PO3_Dread says:
#Highway: Oh then thanks. :: takes the flask and takes a drink::
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
*CSO*: Commander are you saying that once the agent breaks down in the atmosphere we shouldn't have any further cases?
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
@ *CIV*:  Correct.
CO_Captain_Savar says:
*CSO*: Check with the San Sebastian for samples.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
@*CO*:  Acknowledged...  ::looks toward her cousin.::
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
CO: That's a good sign. It's not a persistent agent.
Teyol says:
@ :: taking off his helmet, and breaths in the air and comments to no one in particular::  Just like ship air.
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CIV: The problem is just how many people will it kill before it becomes inert?
Teyol says:
@ COM: San Sebastian: Commander So'tsoh requests tissue samples from those infected.  It will need to be beamed down.
CO_Captain_Savar says:
CIV: That is... unusual.  Why make an agent that destroys itself after a relatively short time?

@ACTION: The San Sebastian responds that the tissue samples are on the way.

CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
CO/FCO: It's designed to quickly destroy the population and then leave the area free for occupation
SO_Lt_Archimedes says:
@ :: Frowns::  CSO:  Commander... this is odd.  :: picks up his PADD and takes it over to her.::
Teyol says:
@ COM: San Sebastian:  Acknowledged.
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#::keeps looking through the database for anything else useful for the current situation, like medical and weapons data::
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CIV: And if we can't find a way to keep the colonist alive they will have won.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
@ :: scans the data::  SO:  Interesting... and sad.
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
All: If it was a persistent agent then it would mean that the Alvar wish no-one to have this planet. The fact it's non-persistent means there is something here they want
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
@ *CO*:  Captain, there is Duergar DNA in the samples.
Teyol says:
@ :: As the tissue samples arrived, already prepped, he hands them to Archimedes::
SO_Lt_Archimedes says:
@ :: smiles::  Teyol:  Blessings upon you.   I know these suits are made to comfort to a degree, but I occasionally feel claustrophobic in them.  :: taking the samples, he puts them asides and begins to peel off his suit.::
CO_Captain_Savar says:
*CSO*: ... curious.  What would that mean?

ACTION: An unknown hail from subspace is being received by the Sharikahr.

FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Captain we are being hailed and I have no idea who it is.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
*CO*:  It could infer, that this stuff was prepared awhile back and was intended for the Duergar, or the Duergar have an unusual component in their DNA the Alvar have been experimenting with... including the Breen.
SO_Lt_Archimedes says:
@ :: More comfortable, he runs the preset scans.::
CO_Captain_Savar says:
*CSO*: Stand by, Commander.  FCO: On screen.
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Captain I do have a visual though putting is on screen now.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
@ :: seeing the others with helmets off, removes hers::
SO_Lt_Archimedes says:
@ :: as the first scans comes through he forwards it to Sin's PADD::

ACTION: A grey looking short person with long black and very long beard appears on the viewscreen.

Bruenor says:
%COM: Sharikahr: I am Bruenor.  I have information you may like to have.  :: sounding really scruffy::
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
@ *Highway*:  There is nothing unique about your poison.  It is relatively easy to find and reacts quickly.  It is usually taken in capsule form.
CO_Captain_Savar says:
COM: Bruenor: I'm listening.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
@ :: stands and moves to join Archimedes to look over the data flowing across the screen from the tissue samples.::
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: listens as Bruenor speaks::
Bruenor says:
%COM: Sharikahr: Our spies within the Alvar have told me they have using something the metal men has taken form us to attack your world.
CEO_Cmdr_Hembrook says:
#::Locates all the medical and tactical information she can get a hold of and sends it to the Sharikahr as well::
TO_PO1_Highway says:
#*CSO*: Understood
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
@ *CO*:  I have an update from the tissue samples.  It appears that once the host is dead, the cycle is completed and what is in their system becomes inert.  It remains active with in a living host.
CO_Captain_Savar says:
COM: Bruenor: That would be somewhat accurate.
TO_PO3_Dread says:
#Highway: I am not having any luck with the information displayed here think we should check up on the engineer here and make sure she doesn't blow up the ship around us?
Teyol says:
@ :: reading through the data on the poison::  *Highway*: The poison is usually used for suicides.  Whoever took the poison was planning on dying.
Bruenor says:
%COM: Sharikahr: My ship will be arriving within the hour. WE may be of assistance. We do not want the Breen or the Alvar scum to take that moon, or the planet.
CO_Captain_Savar says:
COM: Bruenor: Please transmit unique codes so that our defensive grid does not consider you a hostile.  In what way do you feel you can be useful?
SO_Lt_Archimedes says:
@ :: Scans the breakdown of the substance, considering an antidote for the living as there was nothing they could do to stop what was put in motion.::
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CIV: Looks like we may have gained an ally out here after all.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
@ COM: San Sebastian:  Do you have some Duergar DNA samples?  If so, start working on them and send us some.

ACTION: The communication goes dead.

CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
FCO: Maybe commander, maybe
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Captain we received the codes from them.
