Host Martijn says:
Last Time on the U.S.S. Tal-War...
Host Martijn says:
Captain Irvin discovered a serious injured Sector Commander in her quarters. The following investigation is ongoing as the XO searches for evidence at the crime scene....  Meanwhile, the CIV, CSO and OPS are investigating the rogue and cargo vessel to acertain the truth in this matter... question is... will they find it in time ?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
FCO:  Thanks.  ::slowly paces the bridge::
CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: Looks up as he hears the CNS:: CNS: Impatient, commander
Host SM_Martijn says:
ACTION: A nice red coloured warning sign appears on the medical observation panel in sickbay, reading: “Stasis field degrading, efficiency collapse in 2 hours and 4 minutes”
CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
OPS: Well I'm hoping that we can sort some of this mess with the cargo ship out and.... ::goes to a whisper:: .. who knows it may shed light on you know what!
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  Just trying to keep the blood flowing.  ::continues to pace::
OPS_Ens_Santos says:
CSO: ::smile:: You're already unto work, aren't you? ::sigh:: I could have done with a nap too.
Host SM_Martijn says:
ACTION: As the computer is done with its comparisons, the results are displayed on the CIV's console.
XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Leaves the quarters, moving towards the lab, her head full of thoughts about the case::
OPS_Ens_Santos says:
CSO: ::stops at a junction:: There you go. I might take a trek to my office, i don't think I've seen it in, oh... the past month? ::laughs::
CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
CNS: Commander, can I borrow you for a sec?
CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
OPS: Yeah, i've got stuff to do in fact I may need your help later when we've compiled the cargo bay database
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::glances at the CTO as he paces::
CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: turns back to his console:: self: well, what have we here.
OPS_Ens_Santos says:
CSO: Any time Tobius. And good luck.
CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:

<Medical Officer>  ::having seen the notification he sighs and taps his commbadge::  *CNS*: Anderson to Luchena, come in please....
CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
CNS: I need a second opinion on this ... Transporter records show a power surge here ::points::
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*Anderson*:  Report?
OPS_Ens_Santos says:
::Heads for OPS office on Deck 2::
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks at the display while he waits for a response::
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CTO:  Transporters activated?
CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: Saves his data to report to the captain and moves to centre chair:: FCO: Current speed DS 27.
CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
::gets into the nearest TL and heads for Primary Labs on Deck 4::
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
CIV: Wapr 9.6.
CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
CNS: After further analysis, it turns out that it's the only thing that could have caused the surge would be the use of the transporters.
Host SM_Martijn says:
<Medical Officer> *CNS*: The stasis field is degrading as we speak, Commander...  only about 2 hours left before it collapses...
CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: raises a eyebrow:: FCO: Time to arrival.
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*XO*:  Sickbay reports stasis is failing.  The Admiral will be dead in 2 hours.
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*Anderson*:  Report to the XO.
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::checks:: CIV: 13 hours, 12 min.
XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
*CNS* Where is the nearest place we get medical attention for her?  is the starbase our only option?
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*XO*:  Checking.
CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
FCO: Move to warp 9.3, don't wanna blow out the warp core if we arrive at DS 27.
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*OPS*:  Any other Starfleet facilities nearby?
CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
::walks into labs and heads over to Ens. Simmons and the other crew working on the database:: Simmons: How's it coming Ensign?
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
CIV: Aye ::slows to warp 9.3.::
XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Analyses the fingerprints she took from quarters, and places them under a microscope to confirm what she had seen by eye::
OPS_Ens_Santos says:
*CNS*: Not that I recall, Sir. I believe DS 27 is the closest one.
CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
FCO: Resume 9.6 about four hours from now. Won't tax the warp core that much.
CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
::tries to pin down the location of the possible transport::
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*XO*:  Negative Commander.
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
CIV: We can do warp 9.8 for a while.
OPS_Ens_Santos says:
::Reaches office and sits down to consider a pile of reports. Nobody did her job while she was away... Shame.::
XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
*CNS* Has the medical team confirmed that there is no way to save McKeon on board? thay cannot contact experts and work on her with their remote supervision?
CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
FCO: I Know, but only for twelve hours. We don't tax our Warp core if we stay at Maximum cruising speed which is 9.3
XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Sighs aloud, as she runs a set of prints through the computer, and the puter coming up with the same 'unknown' result for the third time::
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
CIV: Already.
CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
<Simmons>CSO: We have 75% of the database collated now, Sir.
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*XO*:  I'll check.   Would you like me to coordinate from sickbay, Commander?
CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
FCO: So we wait for a good time when travel time is under 12 hours at 9.8.
XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
*CNS* I'd appreciate it. Also, can you confirm the time of attack on the admiral?
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*XO*:  I'll report back.
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CTO:  Any luck?
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
CIV: That's what I meant....
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::heads toward the TL::
CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
Self: Damn. ::Tries to piece together a wiped transporter log::
CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
Simmons: Have you managed to access a complete mainfest yet?
OPS_Ens_Santos says:
:: Mind goes back to the things heard and seen that day. Whoever did this must have had an escape route ready for them ::
XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Takes a swab, and collects a small sample of the sweat from one of the unsampled unknown fingerprints, hoping that she'll get a DNA result, despite the 12% chance::
XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Puts the sweat sample through the computer, to get a DNS analysis::
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::sets the computer to give a beep after 4 hours::
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::steps into the TL::
CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
CNS: Nothing commander, I have evidence of a wiped transporter log at a time before the admiral was found, but it is too degraded to pinpoint a location.
XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Whilst waiting for the anaylsis results and response from Luchena, looks through sensor readings from the quarters::
CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
<Simmons>: We have the complete manifest Sir, but nothing unusual just the medical supplies...
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::nods at the CTO as the TL doors close::
OPS_Ens_Santos says:
::If Tobius is right though, was the transporter used to beam out... or to beam in?::
XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Notes something, that makes her bite her lip::  *CTO* MacAllister, would you be able to confirm whether there was either and authorised or unauthorised transport from the Admiral's quarters ,and if so, attempt to tell me the time of transport, and the destination
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::emerges from the TL and heads to Sick Bay::
OPS_Ens_Santos says:
::Shots on her feet. There are things she can only elucidate from the Bridge::
CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
*XO*: I have something that might answer at least half that question already, what is your location?
Host SM_Martijn says:
<MO_Anderson>  ::greets the CNS as he enters and points at the Admiral's stasis chamber::  Our problem at hand, Commander...
CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
Simmons: Okay, keep up the good work.  ::taps comm badge:: *CTO*: Wuer to MacAllister, have you tracked down that power surge problem yet, Stuart?
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::arrives in sickbay and makes his way to the Admiral's Chamber::  MO: Is there nothing that can be done?
OPS_Ens_Santos says:
::Steps on the Bridge and relieves Ops officer::
CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
*CSO*: I'm working on it Tobias, Stand by.
CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
*CTO*: Well if you need any help you no where I am.
Host SM_Martijn says:
<MO_Anderson> ::shakes his head::  CNS: Afraid not... any tampering of the field would result in an immediate collapse...
OPS_Ens_Santos says:
::Starts working on a wild hunch. The first hunch is that the power spike would come from a transporter to begin with. If it didn't, she's just losing her time but who will know?::
CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
*CSO*: Acknowledged.
CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: sits back in comfy CO's chair:: self: i could get usedto this.
XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
*CTO* I'm in the lab.  I'm afraid you don't have clearance to enter at the moment. Can you send it to be securely?
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*FCO*:  ETA?
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
*CNS* 11hours, 27 min.
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
MO:  Can she be brought back to consciousness?
CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
    *XO*: I'll send it encrypted to your location Commander, Stand by. ::encrypts the file for Commander Jameson's eyes      only and sends it to the lab::
Host SM_Martijn says:
ACTION: The Tal-War's ETA to DS 27 is currently 9 hours and 25 minutes...
Host SM_Martijn says:
ACTION: The stasis field around Admiral McKeon is close to collapsing....
CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: looks at view screen::FCO: I guess it's safe to go to warp 9.8.
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
MO:  Get her out of the chamber.  *XO*:  There is nothing more to be done.
OPS_Ens_Santos says:
::Wonders if people in charge tempered with ship logs, since she can't find the relevant data::
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
CIV: Yep, lemme just check on that. Don't wanna run into anything, makes for nasty scratches.
XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
*CNS*: Is she conscious, or will she remain unconscious till the time?
CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
::Tobius walks out of a side office and into the main lab:: <Simmons>: The Cargo vessels log is comletely compiled now sir.
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::panicked::  *XO*:  I'll try to reach her before she passes.
CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
*XO*: Did you get it commander?
XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::During the couple of hours, had searched through SF records for the unknown finger print, and has finally got an answer::
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
CIV: Nothing in the way. Going to warp 9.8 now.
XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Whispers to herself::  Self: Ensign Dana Turino
XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
Computer: Please give me all information possible on ensign Dana Turino
CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
FCO: Thank you. Now just hope we make it on time otherwise we'll have a hearing after we arrive at ds 27.
Host SM_Martijn says:
<MO_Anderson>  ::deactivates the stasis field and lays the Admiral on a "normal" biobed...::
OPS_Ens_Santos says:
::Goes to last resort and initiates an internal sensor scan to verify that all that should be onboard, are. And nobody more.::
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::moves to the Admiral and rests his hand on her forehead::
CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
::peers at his console:: *XO*: Stand by Commander...
XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
*CNS*: Any information she can give us will help, and also if she has any last requests. You know, that kind of thing
CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
::checks and double checks::
Host SM_Martijn says:
ACTION: As the Tal-War increases speed... the ETA drops to 7 hours and counting...
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
CIV: Well, I guess we better get ready for that hearing then.
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::tries to connect with the Admiral's consciousness, if she still has any::
XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
*CTO*: I have the information you sent me.  Is there no way you can reconstitute the transporter records to find the destination of the transport?
CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
Simmons: Excellent ensign, we'll upload it into LCARS ::taps badge:: *OPS*: Wuer to Santos, Renee we need to do a system upload of the database we've compile from the cargo vessel
CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
FCO: The Admiral in such a bad state?
CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
*XO*: I'm sending you some more data. ::Sends the new information confirming that the transport originated in the Admiral's cabin, again encrypted::
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
CIV: I dunno, ask the Counselor.
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::struggles to find any sense of self within the Admiral::
OPS_Ens_Santos says:
*CSO*: Sure, initiating system upload.
XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
*CTO*: Acknowledged and received
CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
*CSO*: Tobias, Your location please.
OPS_Ens_Santos says:
::Increasing warp speed has brought a drain on her internal sensor scan. Heavy sigh::
CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
*OPS*: Great
CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*Sickbay*: this is the bridge, can I get an update on the Admiral's status.
CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
*CTO*: I'm in Science Lab one Stuart, why?
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::concentrating::
Host SM_Martijn says:
<MO_Anderson>  *CIV*: Situation remains serious, Commander.
XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Realises that the computer has given her the profile, and sends a few minutes reading it::
OPS_Ens_Santos says:
*CSO*: Upload complete, let me know if you have a problem.
CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
*OPS*: Once the files are uploaded, they need running through the system check for any reference points...
CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*MO Anderson*: how long does she have?
CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
*CSO*: I want you to have a look at this data for me.
XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
*CTO*: Do you have the external sensor records of the time 5minutes either side of the time of transport?
CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
*CTO*: Yeah sure thing, where are you now?
OPS_Ens_Santos says:
*CSO* Understood. ::starts looking for the best crossreferencing routines to apply in this case::
CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
*XO*: Stand by commander, I'll check.
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::tries to watch the memory through the Admiral's eyes.  Tries to see the hands of the attacker::
CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
*CSO*: I'm on the bridge.
CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
::as his work in finsihed in the lab heads for the bridge::
Host SM_Martijn says:
<MO_Anderson>  *CIV*: That is not an exact science, Commander...
CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
::checks the Tal-War sensor records from the timeframe 10 minutes before and after the unauthorised transport::
CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*MO Anderson*: What are you vulcan, give me a guess.
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::mumbles:: Spirits, I love doctors. Can't they just say what's up...
Host SM_Martijn says:
<MO_Anderson>  ::cuts the comm and observes the CNS with the Admiral::
CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
::walks onto the bridge:: OPS: Thanks for running that data Renee.  ::walks over to Stuart:: CTO:  Now you wanted to see me about something?
CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
*XO*: Nothing on sensors and no obvious signs of a wiped log either, I'll keep digging.
OPS_Ens_Santos says:
:: 10 quick cross referencing routines blink by and bring up nothing. Goes for the heavy stuff::
XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
*CTO* any signs of a possible cloaked vessel?
CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
OPS: Open a emergency comm to the DS 27.
CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
CSO: Yes, I assume OPS has briefed you on the situation?
OPS_Ens_Santos says:
CIV: Channel open, DS 27 standing by. On visual, Sir?
CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
OPS: Is the channel secure?
CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
CTO: Yeah she told me, made more sense about your worry over that surge earlier once I knew
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::moves one hand to throat and gasps for air::
OPS_Ens_Santos says:
::Talks briefly to DS 27 Ops and adjusts comm link:: CIV: Channel secured, Sir.
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::keeps other hand on the Admiral's forehead::
CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
CSO: Well it turns out, your theory was right, I've traced a transport from the Admiral's quarters before she was found. but there's no trace of where it went.
CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:nods to ops::COM: DS27: This Lieutenant Commander John Exeter, we have a situation onboard and we need you to have your sickbay ready. Admiral Mckeon is seriously injured and we are moving to you position at all haste. I have no idea if she'll make it.
CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
CTO: Okay so that makes sence with the data, you've found the origin of the surge okay....
CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
::his brain starts to tick as he thinks it over::
OPS_Ens_Santos says:
::Is glad she managed the Starbase 2nd officer online::
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
CIV: Maybe they could send a ship to meet us. You know, a doctor, a working statis chamber...
CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
CSO: Agreed, but we really need to know where it went.
CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
CTO: Well we should be able to accertain the frequncy at the origin yes.....
CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
CSO: For all we know, the attacker might have transported over to the cargo vessel then came back with us as part of thier crew.
Host Martijn says:
ACTION: As the CNS feels herself overwhelmed with pain he is unceremoniusly kicked from the Admiral's consciousness...  at the same time her lifesigns flatline and several medical officers run to the scene, trying to revieve her.... without success...  the once powerful Sector Commander ends on a common biobed in the small sickbay of the Tal-War.
Host Martijn says:
Is it her destiny or are other powers interfering ?
