USS Tal-War:  Summary:  10610.15 - The Tal-War is to rendezvous with the Away Team at the wormhole.  The Dark Stranger isn't such a stranger after all and the Ferengi have run off with the ore.  The primary mission is still to get back that ore at all costs.

The Away Team have all been exposed to the ore and will have to be quarantined.

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: enters the bridge after changing into a clean uniform and freshening up ::

MO_Ens_Cameron says:
::in sickbay, prepping for the autopsy::

SO_Lt_York says:
::Stands up:: All: Commander on the Bridge. ::grins::

SO_Lt_York says:
CIV: Welcome back Sir.

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::sat at the flight console:: SO: We lost the trail

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: nods :: SO: Thank you, Lieutenant. Report.

Host OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
::  looks around and nods to the Commander ::

SO_Lt_York says:
::turns around:: FCO: Give me the latest report, we need a general location or a direction please.

SO_Lt_York says:
CIV: Several ships emerged from the planet and we attempted to follow their trail, since we still need to learn about that list.

Host OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
CIV:  Incoming transmission from the Captain is to rendezvous at the wormhole.

SO_Lt_York says:
::glares at OPS::

Host OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
:: glares back at the SO ::

SO_Lt_York says:
CIV: The Captain is waiting for us, but I needed more information on where those ships were heading before we went back. Seems like we have little to nothing to gain from those warp trails.

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
OPS: Do you have an ETA for their arrival?

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::sends all the flight data from the ships to the science console:: SO: There ya go. ::grins::

SO_Lt_York says:
FCO: Thank you.

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
CIV: I assume you'll be wanting to go to the wormhole now Commander?

Host OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
CIV:  Negative Sir.  But from their current location, I can estimate that they will arrive in 48 hours.

SO_Lt_York says:
::walks over to his science console::

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
FCO: If we follow their trail, how far out of the way will it take us?

SO_Lt_York says:
::brings up the scans:: CIV: There is nothing to follow anymore sir.

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
Self: Dagva...

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
CIV: They appear to be heading deeper into the gamma quadrant... the wormhole is the other way.

SO_Lt_York says:
CIV: Commander, seems like their cloaking device managed to help dissipate much of their warp signature. The trail ends after a couple of AU's.

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
SO: Guess it won't do us much good to try and follow them, then. We'll just be flying blind. They could have gone anywhere...

SO_Lt_York says:
CIV: Exactly sir....it was worth a shot.

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
FCO: Set course for the wormhole, warp five...

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
CIV: Aye Commander, though I would recommend going for a higher speed and try to get there first.

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::plots the course and engages at warp 5::

SO_Lt_York says:
::turns his chair around:: CIV: Sir, what we learned about the man responsible for these deaths is limited, but Ms. Telgar has the information on him in her databanks. We met him while we were down on the planet. Seems the psychotic type.

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
FCO: We'll get there in plenty of time, Lieutenant. Don't you worry about that.

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
CIV: Just a thought Commander.

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: steps over behind OPS :: OPS: Pull up the information.

ACTION AWAY TEAM: The environmental systems spread the ore particles all over the ship.  The entire crew on the Captain's ship has been exposed to the ore.

Host OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
CIV:  Certainly Sir.  :: pulls up the info on the man. ::

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: reads over the information :: Self: Tac dept... here on the Tal? :: thinks ::

SO_Lt_York says:
::keeps the LRS's fixed on the wormhole and surrounding systems::

Host OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
:: nods ::  CIV:  Yes Sir.  Apparently, he was on the Tal-War for quite some time and not promoted.

SO_Lt_York says:
Self: Some people aren't Starfleet material....shame they go on a killing rampage though. They can only blame themselves...::shakes head::
CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: raises eyebrow slightly :: Self: Would explain quite a bit. Means ten to one he has a grudge against the Command staff....

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::reads the incoming telemetry data on the flight console and makes small adjustments in heading::

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
Self: Still doesn't explain why he's targeting the newer officers that came aboard after he was gone. Or how he's even getting the information.

Host OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
CIV:  And he has the names of the new crew as well, which mean he has inside help.

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
OPS: Precisely.

SO_Lt_York says:
All: He told us he has an informant on the ship.

Host OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
:: nods ::

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: rubs the ridges of his nose ::

SO_Lt_York says:
CIV: I had Lt. Telgar compose a list of all connections he had with current crewmembers whilst he served here. Also all communications that have not been accounted for.

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: looks around :: OPS: Lieutenant Telgar, who's in charge of Security at the moment?

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::brings up the engineering display and monitors the warp field::

Host OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
CIV:  That would be Lt York.

SO_Lt_York says:
::turns around:: OPS: Excuse me? I have no Tactical experience thank you. I'm a scientist.

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
Self: Guess that would be me...

Host OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
CIV:  Then it would be  you, Sir.

MO_Ens_Cameron says:
*CIV*: Sickbay to bridge.

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: taps combadge :: *Sec*: Trelan to all security personnel. Activate alert status Trelan One Omega. Move.

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
*MO*: Trelan here. Go ahead, Doctor.

MO_Ens_Cameron says:
*CIV*: Sir, Ah've completed the autopsy.  The Ensign was killed by an ultrasonic barrage.

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
<Norbert> *CIV*: Aye, Commander. Trelan One Omega initiated. All sections are on standby.

SO_Lt_York says:
::raises an eyebrow...:: All: Ultrasonic? Why didn't the Computer register that.

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::makes small adjustments to various controls to stay on course and reduce wear on the warp engines::

SO_Lt_York says:
::brings up the internal sensors in Main Engineering for that time slot::

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
*MO*: Ultrasonic... So your telling me that he was killed by sound?

Host OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
SO:  I don't know.

MO_Ens_Cameron says:
*CIV*: Potentially.  The barrage caused massive brain haemorrhaging.

SO_Lt_York says:
CIV: Commander, we have a problem.

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
*MO*: What decibel range would cause that kind of damage?

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: turns :: SO: What is it?

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::takes his eyes off his console for a moment to look over at OPS::

SO_Lt_York says:
CIV: I was attempting to bring up the internal sensor logs for the time of death, trying to see where the ultrasonic barrage came from...fifteen minutes have been deleted from the logs in Main Engineering.

SO_Lt_York says:
CIV: Trying to see who did that at the moment. ::works the console::

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
*Sec*: Trelan to Norbert. Secure all Engineering personnel, now. I want two teams in Engineering and a third rounding up the off duty personnel and those assigned to other areas.

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::thinks he's definitely going to have to buy this one a drink and smiles to himself::

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
<Norbert> *CIV*: I'm on it, sir.

SO_Lt_York says:
CIV: We have more sir, all internal sensors in every Jefferies Tube connected to Main Engineering have been deleted...also fifteen minutes.

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::frowns as he thinks it's odd that there is no sensor data::

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
SO: See if you can plot a path. Should be something beyond Engineering leading us through the route he took and where he ended up.

MO_Ens_Cameron says:
*CIV*: Usually a decibel range above 250 would kill someone, sir.

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
*MO*: Thank you, Doctor.

MO_Ens_Cameron says:
*CIV*: Fae whi Ah can gather, the barrage was directed solely at the Ensign.  That way naebody else would ha' been affected.  He would also have had tae be in an enclosed space.

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
OPS: I want internal scans of the ship. Find anything with that kind of decible level and where it is.

SO_Lt_York says:
CIV: There is no way to plot a path like that, every possible escape path has no logs, so he could have emerged from any of 10 Jeffries tubes to the deck above and below.

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
*MO*: Excellent work, Mister Cameron.

Host OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
:: begins to look through the sensor logs :: CIV:  The internal sensors can create that type of ultrasonic barrage.

SO_Lt_York says:
CIV: I'm personally going over all sensor logs in Main Engineering for over an hour before the time we found the dead body. Trying to see if the Computer is missing anything else or did not notify us.

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: turns around :: SO: I suggest you find a way, Lieutenant. Or have you forgotten that you could very well be the next target?

MO_Ens_Cameron says:
*CIV*: Sir.  Ah dinnae know if anybody's foond it oot yet, but the Ensign was also seconded tae Tactical.  There's yer link tae Ramart.

SO_Lt_York says:
CIV: We all could sir, but like I said. We need more. I suggest sending medical teams to those tubes and scan for recent tissues.

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::turns back to his console and makes a minor course correction::

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
SO: :: shaking head :: Would take too long. It would take them hours to do what we can do from here. Scan the medical database. We should still have his DNA samples on file. Have the internal sensors calibrated to the microcellular level and scan for his particular pattern.

Host OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
CIV:  Sir, do we have a time of death?

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
OPS: Good question... :: knows the MO is still listening :: *MO*: Doctor?

SO_Lt_York says:
CIV: Sir, that's not detailed enough. But we might get lucky. ::thinks he's really starting to get annoyed of people telling him how his systems work::

MO_Ens_Cameron says:
*CIV*: Aye, sir.  Time of death was aboot 40 minutes before oor Away Team beamed doon.

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: hears a slight edge in the SO's voice :: SO: When this is over, Mister York, you and I are going to have a little chat on the structure of Command on this ship.

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::smiles slightly at the conversations happening behind him and taps a few buttons on his console::

SO_Lt_York says:
CIV: Any time sir. ::busy at work calibrating the systems::

Host OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
:: lifts her eyebrow ::

Host OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
:: continues to look over the sesnor logs of the time of death ::  SO:  Did you see this Lt?

SO_Lt_York says:
OPS: What?

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
OPS: Check all transport logs. Let's hope our collaborator didn't piggy back on our transporter signal when you all beamed down....

Host OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
SO:  The sensor logs shows an internal transport, just prior to the body being found.

SO_Lt_York says:
::sighs as he was pulled away from checking the logs, missed that because of his new assignment:: OPS: Can you see where from?

SO_Lt_York says:
CIV: Sensors are ready, starting a detailed scan of all Jefferies tubes. Should take a while.

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
SO: How long?

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::checks the ETA to the wormhole and prods at a few more controls::

Host OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
SO:  The log of who performed the transport is wiped, but it was a site to site from Jefferies tube 15/B/09 to main engineering.

SO_Lt_York says:
CIV: Eight hours.....::hears the OPS:: Or not.

SO_Lt_York says:
::starts scanning that tube first::

SO_Lt_York says:
OPS: Good call. ::smiles:: This should be over in a jiffy if we're lucky.

Host OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
SO:  Thanks.  :: smirks ::

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: steps over to SCI II, tapping at the controls, inputting data and looking over to the SO's console :: SO: It will take that long because your using a theta pattern. Using an Alpha enhancer will cut that time by a third. Here, look. :: inputs a new algorithm command :: When you have to determine between the enemy and friendlies, you pick up a few tricks.

SO_Lt_York says:
::looks up:: CIV: That cuts us blind to anything else sir....but I like it.

SO_Lt_York says:
CIV: I'll have to remember that.

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: looks up to the SO and smiles slightly ::

SO_Lt_York says:
CIV: We should have the results from that specific tube in less then 5 minutes.

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: nods ::

SO_Lt_York says:
Self: Impressive....

Host OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
:: looks over at the FCO and winks ::  FCO:  Well, this should prove interesting.

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::smiles broadly at OPS:: OPS: I hope so... this telemetry display almost had me hypnotised for a moment there.

Host OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
:: chuckles :: FCO:  Well, at least I know you can be distracted.

SO_Lt_York says:
::his console beeps::

SO_Lt_York says:
CIV: Results are in, sir.

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: looks over the SO's shoulder ::

SO_Lt_York says:
Self: The winner is...

SO_Lt_York says:
::correlates the data with the computer banks::

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
OPS: What can I say... you're a welcome distraction. ::smiles::

Host OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
:: smiles ::

SO_Lt_York says:
CIV: There he is:: points to the screen:: Our dead Engineer, Mr. Tycho.

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: rubs chin :: SO: Could be the collaborator. If he was, he was killed by his own devices....

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
SO: If not, someone transported him there from another location to make us think he was.

Host OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
<OPS_ Typo> *CIV*: Bridge, we have a situation on deck 4!

SO_Lt_York says:
CIV: No sir, from what the man told me down there....this death was just another calling card...the collaborator is alive and someone who has access to all ship systems.

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
*Typo*: Report.

Host OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
:: blinks ::

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
SO: There has to be something to this "calling card". :: sighs ::

Host OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
<OPS_ Typo> *CIV* Sir, Ensign Hammond missed his duty shift and we went to check on him.  He doesn't answer and we can't get into his quarters.

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
OPS: Emergency override on Hammond's quarters.

Host OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
:: nods :: CIV:  Aye Sir.

SO_Lt_York says:
::looks up at the CIV and for a moment sees past his harsh exterior:: CIV: From this tube, I can extrapolate some route. Maybe we can catch the traitor.

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
SO: Make it so, Lieutenant. :: begins to step away before shooting a glance over his shoulder :: And good work. :: slightly grins ::

SO_Lt_York says:
CIV: Aye sir. ::nods::

Host OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
<OPS_ Typo> :: enters the quarters :: *CIV*  Sir, Ensign Hammond is...Sir, he 's dead!

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
Self: Dagva... we're dropping like flies here...

SO_Lt_York says:
Computer: Computer, give me a list of all personnel on deck 14, section J between these time slots. ::inputs the time of death and half an hour before and after::

CIV_Cmdr_Trelan says:
*MO* Trelan to sickbay. Mister Cameron, report to Ensign Hammond's quarters. We have another victim.

FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::makes a mental note to keep an eye on OPS::

MO_Ens_Cameron says:
*CIV* On ma way.  ::grabs his kit and runs out::

ACTION:  When the Doctor enters the quarters, a voice can be heard......"Another down, many to go."
