USS Vesuvius  NCC 71985
Mission:  ...to join this couple...
Episode 3:  We have seen the enemy...and he is us!

Previously on the USS Vesuvius:

The marriage of the CSO and CO had apparently gone off without problem, but now not all is as it seems.

Only seconds ago, the life signs that were detected on a passenger transport matched the life signs of Captain Xenobia Jenii Royce, Commanding Officer of the USS Vesuvius...

This came as an utter shock to the crew of the Vesuvius, given that the captain was on the bridge and in command at the time.

Needless to say the transport is being intercepted, and has just come into tractor beam range.  

To make matters more complicated, a founder attacked the FCO and then ran, disappearing somewhere on the ship...

FCO Horn says:
SO: A Trill?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Sits on biobed waiting ::

Host Xenobia says:
:: Enters the turbolift watching as the XO enters with her ::

SO Lane says:
FCO: Yes Commander, just like the Captain.

FCO Horn says:
SO: Someone from her past then?  The man from the wedding?

TO Horn says:
*FCO*: Aye.

Host Xenobia says:
:: Crosses her arms and just looks at the XO waiting ::

CMO Zria says:
*XO* Aye  sir, we're ready.  CIV: Thank you, Lennier.

CIV McDonald says:
:: Waves his hand from the other biobed :: 

XO Kelson says:
CO: I hope you do understand that I must be sure, Ma'am.  I wouldn't be your XO if I didn't do my duty to ship and crew.

Host Xenobia says:
Self:  I wish I had something else on...this jumpsuit is very unbecoming

TO Horn says:
:: Orders all but Sec team Delta to search for the founder ::

Host Xenobia says:
XO:  I understand, Samuel Kelson

SO Lane says:
FCO: I believe I have heard the name mentioned before by the Captain, but only in passing.

FCO Horn says:
OPS: Hopefully, the founder will be found soon.

Host Xenobia says:
XO:  I would do the same thing in your shoes

FCO Horn says:
SO: Well, if he's on that shuttle, we'll know soon.

XO Kelson says:
:: Smiles ::   CO: Only my mother calls me Samuel...

CIV McDonald says:
:: Stabilizing the wounded man ::   CMO: He's stable should I revive him?

Host Xenobia says:
:: Smiles ::   XO:  I know.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Sits on the edge of the biobed ::   ~~~ Royce:  This is quite a
puzzle. ~~~

CEO McGregor says:
*FCO* Sir We have swept the Main Engineering deck for the Founder; we have found nothing. I have instituted full Main Engineering security protocols down here

SO Lane says:
:: Nods ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Exits turbolift and enters sickbay ::

FCO Horn says:
*CEO* Good work.

CMO Zria says:
:: Places a stasis field around the man and turns when she hears the doors swish open again :: 

XO Kelson says:
:: In best drawl ::   CMO: Doc...here's another one for ya...

XO Kelson says:
::Motions to new Captain ::

Host CO Royce says:
ACTION:  Xenobia meets Captain Royce in sickbay...

CIV McDonald says:
:: Smiles seeing the new captain :: 

Host CO Royce says:
:: Jaw drops to her chest ::

XO Kelson says:
CMO: Any chance we can tell 'em apart?

CIV McDonald says:
:: Gets confused :: 

Host Xenobia says:
:: Stops and stars at her, her jaw set ::

CIV McDonald says:
ALL: But…but...   :: Trails off :: 

CMO Zria says:
:: Looks from one Xenobia to the other and walks over to the one standing beside the XO ::   XO: I see that...   Xenobia:  Captain, if you'll come with me?

FCO Horn says:
:: Senses complete shock come from the Captains ::

CEO McGregor says:
*FCO* I have also instituted Emergency Main Engineering Power grid protocols with CEO option

Host Xenobia says:
:: Nods at the CMO ::  CMO:  Certainly, Doctor

CIV McDonald says:
:: Walks over and grabs the last hypospray, hands it to the CMO :: 

FCO Horn says:
CNS: I think they've met...

Host Xenobia says:
:: Follows the Doctor ::

CMO Zria says:
XO: I'll see what I can do, the Captain that came down first, shows to be who she claims to be.

SO Lane says:
:: Wonders what is going on down in sickbay ::

CNS Shirley says:
FCO: That is true...

CMO Zria says:
:: Picks up a medical tricorder and begins running the tests ::   Xenobia:  We'll do our best to figure out what's happening here.  

FCO Horn says:
*CEO* We need to lock down flight from both ends also.  No need, him getting control that way either.

CIV McDonald says:
:: Grabs other tricorder and runs it along the CO sitting on the bio bed :: 

Host Xenobia says:
CMO:  I know you will Doctor Zria.  I know you will....

CMO Zria says:
:: Completes the tests and compares the results ::   XO: Commander, these two have the exact same DNA, as do their symbionts.

Host Xenobia says:
:: Looks at the Doctor... ::   CMO:  SHE has a symbiont?!?

Host CO Royce says:
:: In disbelief ::   Xen:  You're...me?!?

FCO Horn says:
Jankara: Set everything here to command code entry only.

XO Kelson says:
CMO: I'm just a good ole security officer who got promoted...please explain how that is possible?

CIV McDonald says:
:: Nods ::   ALL: apparently…unless…   CMO: What about a cloning process of sorts.

FCO Horn says:
CNS: Could they be the same person?

Host Xenobia says:
:: Looks over at the other Xenobia ::   CO:  I am the original…

CMO Zria says:
:: Nods, somewhat confused ::   Xenobia/CO: Yes, and both symbionts have the exact same DNA.

CNS Shirley says:
FCO: Well, yes they are the same person....

OPS Chaser says:
FCO: Accor-rding to the database, Zanar-r is from Tr-rill, r-recor-rds show he holds the r-rank of Commander-r, he is a for-rmer-r Engineer-r, did a tour-r at the Utopia Planetia ship yar-rds, r-resigned sever-ral months ago.

CIV McDonald says:
CMO: Mind if I run a microcellular test?  Sometimes there are some small discrepancies in the DNA sequences

Host Xenobia says:
CMO:  I know the information I gave Cmdr Kelson was detailed...I just never realized HOW detailed!

FCO Horn says:
OPS: So he knows his way around building ships.

CEO McGregor says:
Computer: Lock down all secondary command consoles Forward and aft, except main consoles on the bridge, and secondary bridge control on my console

FCO Horn says:
Self: Hmm, I wonder.

XO Kelson says:
:: Hands PADD to doctor ::   CMO: Here is the information of which she speaks.

CMO Zria says:
XO: There are only two ways that two people would have the exact same DNA...either these two are identical twins or one could be a clone.

OPS Chaser says:
FCO: Aye, Commander-r that would stand to r-reason.

Host Xenobia says:
:: Looks at the Captain...::   Self:  Remarkable....

CIV McDonald says:
CMO: Which is what I'm thinking.

XO Kelson says:
CMO: But I thought a clone held some sort of copying error in their DNA?

CIV McDonald says:
CMO: The question being WHICH one.

Host Xenobia says:
CO:  You have all my memories...

CEO McGregor says:
Computer: Also lock down all shuttle and cargo transporters to Bridge control only...Authorization McGregor Theta

Host Xenobia says:
CO: You have the memories of Royce...and our previous hosts....

CMO Zria says:
:: Takes the information from the Commander and looks over it ::   CIV: Please see what you can find   :: Looks over the test results and the information that she was given ::

FCO Horn says:
:: Goes to a console, opens a file and begins reading ::

CIV McDonald says:
:: Takes another sample from both captains and runs the microcellular test :: 

CEO McGregor says:
*FCO* Sir ,all secondary command consoles locked down ,,,as well as all shuttle and cargo transporters

Host CO Royce says:
Xen: You are me...I am you...   :: Grows quiet ::

FCO Horn says:
*CEO* Sounds good.

CIV McDonald says:
ALL: But one of you is a fake 

Host Xenobia says:
CO:  I remember reading of a situation similar to this...

Host Xenobia says:
:: Voice fades... ::

FCO Horn says:
Self: How could she have seemed so real...

CMO Zria says:
:: Walks over to Lennier ::   CIV: Did you find anything?

OPS Chaser says:
:: Verifies the CEO's statement ::   FCO: CEO's lock down is confir-rmed.

CIV McDonald says:
CO: Here’s the results   :: Hands them to the CMO ::

XO Kelson says:
CIV: Thank you for stating the obvious, Mr. McDonald.  Any more relevant information?

Host CO Royce says:
Xen:  What do we do?

FCO Horn says:
OPS: Good, at least the founder isn't going anywhere.

Host Xenobia says:
:: Looks over at the XO... ::   XO:  Sam...what happened at the wedding?

CIV McDonald says:
CMO: Yes I did.   XO: You may be interested in seeing this.

Host Xenobia says:
:: Whispers ::   CO:   I'm not sure...

XO Kelson says:
:: Points to the other Captain ::   CO: She was married to Dru...

Host CO Royce says:
XO:  That's the million dollar question.  We need to review some logs and recordings I think.

Host Xenobia says:
:: Closes her eyes in pain...whispers ::   Self:  No...

CMO Zria says:
CIV: What did you find?

OPS Chaser says:
FCO: Aye, Ma'am.

CIV McDonald says:
CMO/XO: There’s subtle subatomic differences. 

FCO Horn says:
:: Sits back down and tries to sense the founder ::

Host Xenobia says:
:: Fights back tears of heart-felt pain ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Feels her heart breaking ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Lowers voice ::   CIV: Can you differentiate between the two and find out who is the real Captain?

CIV McDonald says:
XO: Yes I can…will need some more time though Commander.

CMO Zria says:
:: Looks at the test results that Lennier is referring too ::   XO/CIV: A slightly different energy signature...what was it that the Lt. Horn was referring to in the observation lounge?

CEO McGregor says:
Engineering crew: Lets keep it tight down here lads

CNS Shirley says:
~~~CIV: How is it going?  Have you figured it out? ~~~

CIV McDonald says:
~~~ CNS: Almost… ~~~

XO Kelson says:
CIV: Get on it..

CIV McDonald says:
XO: Yes sir!

CMO Zria says:
XO:  Something about the transporters?  If we compare the energy signature from the reading that he took, to this, it may be our key.

Host Xenobia says:
:: Hangs her head a moment, then thinks... ::

OPS Chaser says:
~~~ CNS: What do you feel from down ther-re? ~~~

Host Xenobia says:
CO:  I have a thought, Xenobia

CNS Shirley says:
~~~ OPS: Nothing much.  But the CIV has almost figured it out… ~~~

Host CO Royce says:
Xen: I'm all ears said the Vulcan....

XO Kelson says:
CMO: Good idea...seems to me I read something about a transporter malfunction in the Federation history.  Check on it and keep me informed.

Host Xenobia says:
CO:  My life is here, on the Vesuvius.  Ben wants Jenii.  We are exactly the same...

FCO Horn says:
Self: If I were a founder, where would I be hiding....

FCO Horn says:
*CEO* Has your staff received blood tests?

CMO Zria says:
:: Nods ::   XO:  Aye, sir.  

XO Kelson says:
:: Turns to Captains ::

Host CO Royce says:
Xen:  I see where you are going...

Host CO Royce says:
