USS Vesuvius, NCC-71985
Stardate 10407.06
Episode 2

A Mystery to Unfold…

The Vesuvius arrived and in the Arimus Sector with no problems.  The new crew have reported in and it seems they were adapting to their new stations and crewmates as well.

Upon entering the system, the outer station received identification on the Vesuvius and telepathically advised the President of their arrival.  He was ready for them when they arrived.

In his hurry to arrive planetside and get to the bottom of the mystery, Commander Stricker forgot to advise Admiral Royce of the Vesuvius' arrival.  He beamed down with the FCO, TO, CMO, and CIV.  When President Rhygar asked who was Royce, only then did the Commander remember to advise her and she quickly joined the Away Team.

They were then led down a series of passageways which led deeper into the mountain side to another chamber.  President Rhygar asked the Away Team to wait a few moments while he disappeared around a corner.  He returned shortly and led the CMO and Admiral Royce to the occupant.

Now the Away Team waits where they were left.  What is happening with the CMO and Admiral Royce?  Who is the occupant of the pod?  What happened to the occupant and how did it come to arrive here?  All questions that still needed answers….

@ACO: The CMO and the Admiral...your cat person if you wish to ensure the safety of your people.  That is all that is needed...and your people are safe here

CSO Lane says:
OPS: Is he bothering you Ensign?   :: Points to the dog ::

Host Royce says:
@:: Nods ::   CMO: I know her...I though she was dead

FCO Lorehani says:
@Rhygar:  What is wrong with me?  I'm more then just blue you know...   :: Chuckles to show she is joking ::

OPS Varn says:
CSO: No Ma'am, I find him to be pleasant company.  Thank you for asking

CTO Naug says:
:: Wondering why that dog is even on the bridge ::

ACO Stricker says:
@Rhygar: Aye sir...   TO: You stay here and ensure the safety of the Admiral.   All in cave: The rest of us will beam back to our ship.

CMO Bannister says:
@Royce/Rhygar:  I am registering strange readings from this life form.

@CMO: Strange?

ACO Stricker says:
@FCO/CIV: You two ready to beam up?

CSO Lane says:
:: Turns to Toir ::   CTO: Anything on tactical scans Toir?

CIV Tyret says:
@ACO: At your discretion, Sir.

FCO Lorehani says:
@CIV:  Tell me about it.   :: Whispers back ::   I was about to make cave drawings for future inhabitants...

CTO Naug says:
CSO:  Nothing at this time, and does that animal belong on the bridge

FCO Lorehani says:
@ACO:  Aye Sir.

CIV Tyret says:
@:: Chuckles at the FCO's comment ::

OPS Varn says:
:: Looks at the Klingon and isn't impressed with his tone ::

CMO Bannister says:
@Royce:  It's as if some of her genetic makeup has been altered...to what degree, I cannot tell you with a tricorder.  I can tell you, however, that I can revive her.

ACO Stricker says:
@*CSO*: I guess there were too many of us here. I'm beam back up with the FCO and CIV.

Host Royce says:
@CMO: Then do so...

CSO Lane says:
CTO: Commander, I have permission from Commander Stricker to keep the Captain's dog on the bridge. Does that bother you?

FCO Lorehani says:
@ACO:  Maybe I didn't miss too much of my soap opera.  I get so cranky when I miss that.

CSO Lane says:
*ACO*: Understood sir.

CIV Tyret says:
@FCO: Will you show me this soap opera?

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Reaches into his med kit and grabs a hypospray.  He places a vile in it and then applies the hypo to the life form's neck. ::

ACO Stricker says:
@:: Laughs ::   FCO: Duty comes first...

CSO Lane says:
OPS: Ensign, prepare to beam the Commander and his party up.

CTO Naug says:
CSO: I don't recall having given the animal clearance to be here   :: And attempts to be
funny ::

ACO Stricker says:
@*Transporter Chief*: Three to beam up. Myself the FCO and CIV.

FCO Lorehani says:
@CIV:  Most definitely Mr. Tyret.

ACO Stricker says:
<Transporter Chief> ACO: Aye sir three to beam up. Energizing Commander...

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: the ACO, FCO and CIV are beamed back to the Vesuvius...

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Materializes back on the Vesuvius and steps off the PADD. ::

Host Rhygar says:
@TO: There will be apes bringing you food and drink.

ACO Stricker says:
:: Materializes in Transporter room one ::   FCO/CIV: Follow me to the bridge please...

OPS Varn says:
CSO: They're all back on board Ma'am

CTO Naug says:
CSO: But to be serious, yes Cmdr I don't feel the animal needs to be here

FCO Lorehani says:
ACO:  Following Sir.

Host Rhygar says:
@:: Disappears around a corner ::

CSO Lane says:
CTO: Well he has been given clearance to be here so deal with it Commander.

OPS Varn says:
:: Wonders if the CTO thinks he should be here then? ::

CTO Naug says:

CSO: Aye Ma'am they are

CTO Naug says:
:: Updates the Away Team log noting  the ACO, FCO, and CIV's return and who is left
behind ::

CSO Lane says:
OPS: Make sure you keep a secure lock on the rest of the team.

Host Admiral Royce says:
@:: Leans over ::   Pod Occupant: Can you here me?   :: Gently ::

TO Raja says:
@:: Looks at the food. Even though feeling a little hungry, decides not to eat ::   Self: Duty fir-r-rst

OPS Varn says:
CSO: Aye Cmdr, I've got them clear and strong

CIV Tyret says:
:: Enters the turbolift ::

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Moves back but continues to scan the life form with the tricorder. ::

OPS Varn says:
:: Makes sure he has them to double-check ::

CTO Naug says:
*TO*: Report, what is the security situation down there

TO Raja says:
@:: Walks around a little trying to get an idea how big the cave is ::

ACO Stricker says:

@:: Shrugs as he looks back at the Admiral. ::   Royce:  She should be coming to.

Alex says:
@:: Mumbles ::   Admiral: Xen?!?

CSO Lane says:
ACO: No sir. Communication channels are open...   :: Looks to Varn ::   but nothing yet.

Alex says:
@:: Opens eyes slowly ::

Host Admiral Royce says:
@:: Smiles ::  Alex: That's right...it's me...Xen.   What happened?

OPS Varn says:
:: Nods back to the CSO ::   ACO: All clear Sir

CSO: Aye Commander.   :: Sits in the big chair ::   Please keep me advised...

@:: Looks at the CMO ::

Alex says:
@Admiral: I thought I would never...   :: Tear falls down her cheek ::

@Alex: It's okay...you're back in Federation space...and you're safe

@:: Allows the two officers to have a moment together. ::

OPS Varn says:
FCO: Yes I did!  And I'd appreciate any help with humor Ma'am

Alex says:
@Admiral: ...see you again.

CTO Naug says:
:: Hears the FCO make a statement about the animal and grunts again about it ::

Host Admiral Royce says:
@:: Smiles ::   Alex: What happened?

CTO Naug says:
CSO: What Cmdr.

FCO Lorehani says:
CTO:  Naug, kill two targ and call me in the morning will ya...that grunting is driving me bonkers.

Host Admiral Royce says:
@:: Looks at the CMO and whispers ::   CMO: Anything, yet?

CSO Lane says:
:: Says nothing and checks her sensors readouts ::

CIV Tyret says:
CTO: Don't worry. You look fine.

Alex says:
@:: Struggles to speak ::   Admiral: I don't know. It is all confusing

CTO Naug says:
:: Mutters something under his breath in the Klingon tongue ::

Alex says:
@Admiral: I remember the lights

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Turns back to Varn ::   CTO:  I heard that!   :: Twitches her antenna. ::   OPS:  Now what was I saying?

ACO Stricker says:
:: Notices the OPS and FCO talking about him ::   FCO: So Lieutenant, sometimes when people whisper those with Romulan ears like myself pick things up.   :: Being humorous, yet coy ::   You know what I mean?

OPS Varn says:
FCO: You were going to teach me something about humor?  While on duty?

Alex says:
@Admiral: I remember the noise   :: Begins to get agitated ::

Alex says:
@Admiral: The noise was them   :: Begins to get more animated and begins to shake her head no ::

Host Admiral Royce says:
@:: Nods continuing to stroke her hair ::   Alex: Rest now...we'll get you back on the Vesuvius and you'll be up and about in no time...  Rest for now...

Host Admiral Royce says:
@:: Moves to the CMO ::   CMO: I'll speak with President Rhygar about getting her home...

FCO Lorehani says:
ACO:  Yes Sir... it's the same with Andorian ears you know...Now is there something you'd like clarified...   :: Turns and winks at him ::   You know...like some of the juicy gossip...Did you know the bartender has the hots for a science officer?

OPS Varn says:
:: Runs a quick comm scan for any traffic planetside or surrounding near space ::

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Thinks as he looks over the readings on the tricorder. ::   Royce:  Yes Admiral.

Host Admiral Royce says:
@:: Moves off to find Rhygar and spies him in a corner ::

CIV Tyret says:
CTO: Naug yanIv.qaSuj'a'?

Alex says:
@:: Begins to yell ::   Admiral: Have to get away from them. Don't let them near me again. Please keep them away

FCO Lorehani says:
OPS: That is the best time for humor.  That is when the funniest stuff happens like when Admiral Royce called Cmdr Lane a horse...Now does she look like a horse to you?

Alex says:
@:: Passes out ::

CTO Naug says:
:: Looking over long range and short range finding nothing out there ::

Host Admiral Royce says:
@:: Turns and looks at Alex in alarm, then to the doctor ::

OPS Varn says:
FCO: A horse?  No she doesn't...I don't understand

ACO Stricker says:
FCO: Really, well there's a pretty young Crewman First Class down is Astrophy...   :: Interrupts himself ::   This is starting to sound like one of you "soap operas" :: Performs the air quotes when saying soap opera ::

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Moves over to the woman but is unable to tell her that everything is going to be alright before she passed out. ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Looks up as she hears Lore talking about the horse incident ::

Host Admiral Royce says:
@:: Speaks quietly with Rhygar ::

FCO Lorehani says:
OPS: A filly to be exact...now that is a horse...maybe she looks like one under her clothes.
:: Ponders that. ::

CTO Naug says:
:: Nods back at the CIV and goes back to his console ::

Host Admiral Royce says:
ACTION: Rhygar nods his massive head and moves away...

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Grins ::   ACO:  Now you are getting the hang of it Sir!

TO Raja says:
@:: Continues to monitor the movements of the Admiral and the CMO ;:

OPS Varn says:
:: Really has no idea what to say; the Academy didn't teach him how to handle this ::
FCO: I'm confused Ma'am

Host Rhygar says:
@:: Comes around the corner where the TO is waiting ::   TO: You may come with me...

CSO Lane says:
:: Looks over at Stricker ::   ACO: Nothing unusual on sensors sir.

FCO Lorehani says:
ACO:  So, you want to date the cute Astrophy?  Maybe Cmdr Lane can set you up.

OPS Varn says:
:: Watches as the scans come back ::   ACO: Comm traffic all quiet too Sir

CIV Tyret says:
ALL: naDev qas wanI' ramqu'.

TO Raja says:
@:: Nods his head and follows the dragon ::

ACO Stricker says:
OPS/CSO: Thanks for your reports, keep a look out for anything unusual.

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: Rhygar leads the TO where Royce and the CMO are

ACO Stricker says:
FCO: Yeah she's an Astrophyics crewman. Very attractive.

OPS Varn says:
:: Looks at the FCO and thinks "right there" ::

CTO Naug says:
:: Turns to the CIV ::   CIV: It is disrespectful to speak in that tongue unless with your kind, from one to another I say speak the language

TO Raja says:
@:: Walks up to the Admiral ::   Admiral: Ever-r-rything okay ma'am

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Wicked gleam in her eye. ::   ACO:  I'll see what I can do Sir....  Now are you a flowers and candy guy or do you...well-l-l...I won't ask it here...so she will know what to expect.

Host Admiral Royce says:
@TO: Yes.  We will be leaving here shortly...as soon as the doctor says it's okay

CIV Tyret says:
CTO: I worked with Klingons on the QIb. In fact, I am a member of a Klingon House, so I feel I am partly Klingon.

CTO Naug says:
*TO*:  Report

TO Raja says:
@Admiral: Under-r-rstood Ma'am

CMO Bannister says:
@Royce: She is capable of transport Admiral.  She is just asleep.

Host Admiral Royce says:
@:: Nods at the CMO ::   Rhygar: Thank you, President Rhygar.  I am in your debt...

TO Raja says:
@*CTO*: Situation is nor-r-rmal. We will beam up shor-r-rtly

CSO Lane says:
:: Runs a sweep of the third planet to update the records ::   ACO: Sir, the third planet is still in a state of chaos since that explosion that destroyed almost one third of it. I'm reading atmosphere and all sir, but it looks a bit strange now.

CIV Tyret says:
CTO: What is the name of your house?

ACO Stricker says:
FCO: Well, it was my birthday last week. An old friend down in Engineer took me out to play card with him and his warp core specialists staff. Apparently she's into dog and like holosuite programs. I was thinking of surprising her with a program and asking her out but remember this is all classified information.

ACO Stricker says:
:: Looks around at the bridge staff for cooperation ::

Host Rhygar says:
@Royce: I look forward to meeting with the Federation delegation in a few weeks.  Until then...be well

CTO Naug says:
ACO: Sir the away team will be beaming up shortly, and everything is clear across my board

OPS Varn says:
:: Ears twitch at hearing the ACO's "dog" ::

FCO Lorehani says:
ACO:  From your lips to my ears Sir... I think you should ask her out and I got the perfect holoprogram for it.  It can be modified from an Andorian quad to a twosome.

ACO Stricker says:
CSO: What should we do?

CTO Naug says:
CIV: Keep your feelings to yourself, your blue skin is not Klingon and I will not here of it being otherwise

TO Raja says:
@:: Gets readings from the cave they are in now, just in case things turn ugly ::

OPS Varn says:
:: Waits for the call from Admiral Royce and the Away Team ::

Host Admiral Royce says:
@Rhygar:  Be well with you, sir...    :: Walks over to the CMO and Alex and nods to the TO ::

ACO Stricker says:
CTO: Inform me when they are aboard and tell the Admiral to join me in my ready room once she arrives.

CTO Naug says:
*TO*: Acknowledged.  Keep me apprised

CTO Naug says:
ACO: Yes sir

CSO Lane says:
ACO: Do sir? I think this is a matter for President Rhygar and his people to determine.

ACO Stricker says:
FCO: Quad, two-some? Andorian? Now I'm just confused.

TO Raja says:
@*CTO*: Will do Sir-r-r

ACO Stricker says:
CSO: Acknowledged Commander. Keep tabs on it, like you are...

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Grins ::   ACO:  As you should be Sir.

Host Admiral Royce says:
@TO: We are ready

ACO Stricker says:
:: Grins at the FCO ::

CSO Lane says:
ACO: Has President Rhygar requested any assistance from the Federation yet sir?

ACO Stricker says:
CSO: No, not while I was down there and nothing has come across the comm.

TO Raja says:
@Admiral: Aye Ma'am

CIV Tyret says:
CTO: Well tough luck as the humans say, If you got a problem with it we can settle it in combat.

TO Raja says:
@*CTO*: We ar-r-re r-r-ready to beam up. Ther-r-re are four for-r-r beam up

CTO Naug says:
OPS: Four to beam up

ACO Stricker says:
CTO: Did the TO just say four? I thought there were only three?

OPS Varn says:
CTO: Aye sir   :: Locks onto the signatures and beams them up ::

CTO Naug says:
*TO*: Tell the Admiral Cmdr Stricker wants to see her in his Ready Room once aboard

TO Raja says:
@*CTO*: Under-r-rstood

CTO Naug says:
CIV: It will be my pleasure

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: Admiral Royce, TO Raja, CMO Bannister and Alex transport back to the Vesuvius...

TO Raja says:
@Admiral: Commande-r-r-r Str-r-ricker-r-r would like to meet with you in the R-r-ready
R-r-room when you beam back.

OPS Varn says:
ACO: All four are aboard Sir

Host Admiral Royce says:
CMO: I'd like hourly reports on her, please...and I'll come to see her when I'm done with Commander Stricker

CIV Tyret says:
CTO: I may not be Klingon in the flesh, but I am a Klingon in Spirit. If you do not believe me a demonstration can be arranged.

CMO Bannister says:
:: Nods at the Admiral and calls for a medical team to bring her to Sickbay. ::

OPS Varn says:

CSO Lane says:
:: Watches the readouts on the third planet and marvels how it can survive in such a state ::

OPS Varn says:
ACO: Aye Sir   :: Stops the scan immediately ::

CIV Tyret says:
CTO: I doubt it. I have faced Klingons in battle. Sometimes with just my hands.

ACO Stricker says:
FCO: You heard the Admiral. Set course for the Oberon station maximum warp.

ACO Stricker says:
*Admiral*: Should take more then a few minutes. You orders are acknowledged, Stricker out.

CTO Naug says:
CIV: You say that like it is an accomplishment…bare hands indeed

CMO Bannister says:

CIV: Enough of this bickering we'll settle this later

CTO Naug says:

CIV Tyret says:
CTO: Agreed.

OPS Varn says:
:: Tries very hard to ignore the constant swishing of the TO's tail ::

Host Admiral Royce says:
:: Motions for Stricker to take a seat ::   ACO: She is the occupant of the life pod...she was the CIV here before the attack on Oberon Station....

CSO Lane says:
OPS: Are you alright Ensign?   :: Sees him tense ::

TO Raja says:
:: Turns around ::   CTO: It looked like a female human, sir-r-r

Host Admiral Royce says:
:: Stands and moves to a window looking at the stars ::

OPS Varn says:
CSO: Aye Ma'am, it's...nothing I can't learn to control

ACO Stricker says:
Admiral: Alex? Can I inform the crew of her arrival? What is her status, is she ok?

CSO Lane says:
FCO: Lore, ETA to Oberon?

FCO Lorehani says:
CSO:  One moment Ma'am.

OPS Varn says:
:: Grins back ::   CSO: I will

CSO Lane says:
FCO: A pits stop?

ACO Stricker says:
CIV: Is that your opinion or from the boy in Intel?   :: Laughs ::

ACO Stricker says:
FCO: Thank you Lieutenant.

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Grins ::   CIV:  I'll check it out.  Hmmm do you know why the spider climbed up the water spout... that is what the kids sing?

CIV Tyret says:
ACO: Pardon me?

FCO Lorehani says:
CSO: Pits stop…A place where you would stop and go to the little girls room Ma'am.

Host Admiral Royce says:
:: Enters a turbolift ::   Turbolift: Deck 12

OPS Varn says:
:: Overhears the FCO and still can't figure out why anyone would sing about a spider ::

ACO Stricker says:
OPS: Keep channels open, contact the station when we arrive.   CSO: Keeps those sensors up too.   :: Takes a seat on the big chair ::   FCO: Let's make this a smooth ride.

CIV Tyret says:
FCO: I heard of it.

CMO Bannister says:
:: Starts working in trying to determine what was wrong with Alex. ::

OPS Varn says:
ACO: Aye Sir

CSO Lane says:
ACO: Excuse me sir, but why are we making a pits stop on the way to Oberon Station?

FCO Lorehani says:
ACO:  Aye Sir...That is the only way I fly.

ACO Stricker says:
CIV: No music, my hearing is too sensitive.   :: Grins ::

Host Admiral Royce says:
:: Feels the lift slow and exits as the doors open. Walks down the hall and enters sickbay ::

CTO Naug says:
TO: Make sure you have a security detail with the Admiral.

CIV Tyret says:
CSO: We can only travel at warp nine for 12 hours. We must take it easy on the engines.

CSO Lane says:
FCO: That was not what I was asking.

TO Raja says:
CTO: Yes Sir-r-r.   :: Assigns a security detail as told to do ::

CMO Bannister says:
:: Sees the Admiral arrive in Sickbay. ::

FCO Lorehani says:
CSO: You asked what a pits stop was Ma'am and I told ya.

ACO Stricker says:
CSO: I am under strict orders not to reveal that information. Right now we are on our way there because those are our orders.   :: Smile at Lane ::

Host Admiral Royce says:
:: Sees the hustle and bustle of sickbay and smiles reminiscing.  She stays out of the way ::

CSO Lane says:
FCO: Lore, you knew what I meant.

CIV Tyret says:
ACO: I beg to differ. As an Andorian I would have much more sensitive hearing than you.
:: Grins ::

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Chuckles ::   CSO:  Aye Ma'am...just wanted to see you smile.

CSO Lane says:
:: Nods ::   ACO: Understood Commander.

ACO Stricker says:
CIV: Is that a bet my good Andorian friend?

CMO Bannister says:
Royce:  Admiral, you were a Doctor longer than I have, I would appreciate it if you lent me your talents this one time.

ACO Stricker says:
:: Smiles ::   CSO: Aye Commander, keep watching those scanners.

CIV Tyret says:
ACO: If you want to take a friendly wager, yes.

Host Admiral Royce says:
CMO: I'd be happy to, Jay

CMO Bannister says:
:: Nods and smiles. ::

ACO Stricker says:
CIV: Ok, how about over a drink in ten forward? If I win you buy me a round and a round for my friend in engineering, if I loose I buy you and your buddies a round?

Host Admiral Royce says:
:: Goes for a jacket, tricorder and jumps right in ::

CIV Tyret says:
ACO: Sounds interesting. Deal.

CIV Tyret says:
FCO: I will be able to make up for that drink I owe you if I win.

ACO Stricker says:
CIV: Also, do you know how to play Gee-Kak-us? It's a Romulan card game.

CIV Tyret says:
ACO: Not familiar with that one. I do know Klingon drinking games and earth card games though.

CMO Bannister says:
:: Starts scanning Alex with all the available scanners. ::

CTO Naug says:
:: Thinks about the game Eyes of Kahless, now that is a game ::

Alex says:
:: Moves her head and lets out a moan ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Wonders what all the buzz is about concerning the away team ::

ACO Stricker says:
CIV: No, no. This game takes five minutes to learn but over 100 years to master. Kind of like chess in some ways. You can read the rules and replicate a deck of cards. For the test you can meet me in the holodeck two when we are off duty.

OPS Varn says:
:: Tries to figure out everything he's heard on this shift and his head whirls ::

CIV Tyret says:
ACO: A hundred years to master? By the time I do I would be dead.

CTO Naug says:
ACO: Interested in a game sir, I recommend Eyes of Kahless, very easy game and only one rule

ACO Stricker says:
CIV: All that means is that it takes times to learn it so well that you can’t always win. This game is very unpredictable.

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Gets out the old headphones and turns "Jailhouse Rock" full blast. ::

ACO Stricker says:
CIV: What's that rule?

CTO Naug says:
ACO: Roll the dice and the highest roller (the winner )gets a punch from all the losers

TO Raja says:
:: Turns and sees OPS and lets out a silent hiss in his direction ::
