U.S.S. Vesuvius, NCC-71985
Stardate 10504.05
Sarona III, Planetary Investigation … An Unseen Threat
Episode 13

Getting In Deeper, and Deeper, and Deeper….

The Vesuvius found herself ten years into the future from when they first emerged for the anomaly a lone Tetrahedron had pulled them into. The year is now 1949, and she currently orbits Earth along with 3 Tetrahedron's.

She was damaged when a second Tetrahedron appeared bringing with it the USS Luna. The Luna slammed into the top of the saucer section, opening parts of Decks 2 through 4 to space.

Specifications for red blood cells were transmitted to the Tetrahedron's. Instead of acceptance, the crew met with another light beam, and a voice which stated, “We do not require your blood. You have what we need.”  Another 32 human crew members are now dead.

The Vesuvius was damaged yet again when the third Tetrahedron appeared bringing with it an Andorian vessel, the Kondon. There is currently no one alive on the Kondon. An Andorian body was beamed to the Vesuvius, and a medical examination revealed no missing organ from the Andorian.

While the crew performs repairs two away teams, consisting mostly of tactical personnel and the Luna's CSO, have beamed over to the Luna; one transported to the bridge, the other to engineering. It is hoped they will be able to assist the Luna's crew in maintaining control of the Federation Nebula-class vessel….

CO McGrady says:
:: Sitting on the bridge in the command chair, a grim look on his face. ::

CEO Quchant says:
:: In engineering hard at work directing repairs. ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Motions her team farther down the corridor her EVA suit really not comfortable now. ::   ACSO: C'mon James, I can see the opening now.

CMO Uax says:
:: Sitting in her office writing up medical reports. ::

XO Darvo says:
:: Checks the damage control reports coming in. ::

CMO Uax says:
Self: Chief Medical Officer. I like the sound of that.

TO Thursson says:
$:: On the bridge of the Luna, getting ready to secure the Observation Lounge. ::

CO McGrady says:
XO: Ayla ... about your away mission...

CEO Quchant says:
*XO*: I'm confirming the force field is up on Deck 8 ... we're not losing anymore people on my watch....

XO Darvo says:
:: Looks up at the CO. ::   CO: Sir?

CTO Liu says:
#:: Just entered Luna's main engineering Deck 24 with his unit. ::

XO Darvo says:
:: Taps her combadge ::   *CEO*: Understood, thanks.

CSO Lane says:
<ACSO Bond> CSO: Hope, I'm not sure you should be here. You look a bit pale. Perhaps you should go to sickbay and get checked out. :: Really hopes she will. ::

CO McGrady says:
XO: We are quite short on security personnel ... I can spare one to protect yourself and the doctor ... Chief Petty Officer Gunna Dye awaits you in Transporter Room 1.

CO McGrady says:
XO: Please arm yourself, and our new Chief Medical Officer, as well.

XO Darvo says:
CO: Aye sir.

CO McGrady says:
*CEO*: Commander Quchant...

XO Darvo says:
:: Taps her combadge. ::   *CMO*: Please meet me in Transporter Room 1 for an away mission.

CEO Quchant says:
*CO*: Captain?

TO Thursson says:
$:: Steps into the Observation Lounge and glances around. ::   Team: Clear.

CO McGrady says:
*CEO*: Commander Darvo is leading yet another away mission ... report your repair progress directly to me.

XO Darvo says:
:: Informs AOPS to send the equipment down to Transporter Room 1 immediately. ::

CEO Quchant says:
*CO*: Understood

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: Security team Jackal secures the bridge and begins to work they're way down while team Wolf has secured engineering and works their way upwards....

CMO Uax says:
*XO*: Uh uh. Okay. Uax out!

CO McGrady says:
*CSO*: Commander Lane...

CSO Lane says:
:: Turns and glares at Bond. ::   ACSO: I've already gone through that with Quchant. Now please get the team on the repairs.

XO Darvo says:
:: Stands and walks towards the turbolift. ::

CMO Uax says:
:: Stands up and grabs her medical kit and walks out of sickbay and heads for Transporter Room 1. ::

CSO Lane says:
*CO*: Lane here Captain. Go ahead.

CO McGrady says:
*CSO*: What is the status of sensor repairs?

XO Darvo says:
:: Enters the turbolift. ::   Turbolift: Transporter Room one, please.

CMO Uax says:
:: Arrives a short while later at Transporter Room 1. ::

XO Darvo says:
:: Leans against the walls of the Turbolift and wonders how this will all work out. ::

CTO Liu says:
#*TO*: Jackal this is Wolf. What's your status?

CEO Quchant says:
Computer: Location of Commander Lane please

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The sensors detect the tetrahedrons are vanishing ... quickly ...

XO Darvo says:
:: Has not time to think as the turbolift doors part. ::

CMO Uax says:
:: Walks into the Transporter Room. ::

CSO Lane says:
*CO*: We've just opened the bulk head doors on Deck 8 Captain. I can see the hole in the hull from here. My team is just beginning repairs now. They don't look too bad from here.

CO McGrady says:
<SO> CO: Captain, the tetrahedrons are disappearing.

XO Darvo says:
:: Turning left, Ayla walks into the transporter room and nods to the TR Chief who has a small bundle for her. ::

CO McGrady says:
:: Grunts loudly. ::   SO: Perfect.

CO McGrady says:
*CSO*L Excellent, Commander.

TO Thursson says:
$*CTO*: Bridge and Observation Lounge secure, about to check the Captain's Ready Room now, sir.

CMO Uax says:
:: Looking around not quite sure what to make of this situation; Uax comforts Stephanie. ::

XO Darvo says:
:: Taking the equipment, she turns and nods to the new CMO. ::
CMO: Doctor, congratulations.

TO Thursson says:
$:: Carefully moves into the Ready Room. ::   Team: Clear.   *CTO*: Deck 1 secure, sir.

CMO Uax says:
XO: Thank you ma'am…   :: Still visibly nervous. ::

CTO Liu says:
#*TO*: Very good. Proceed. Engineering is secured.   :: Proceeds to Deck 23. ::

CSO Lane says:
*CO*: Oh by the way Sam, I forgot to take Commander for his walk this morning. Could you make sure someone does it for me?

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The tetrahedrons are now gone leaving the Vesuvius, the Luna and the empty Andorian ship alone in 1947....

XO Darvo says:
:: Hands the CMO a phaser. ::   CMO: You are to arm yourself; we do not know the situation over on the Andorian ship.

CEO Quchant says:
*CSO*: Commander Lane how bad is the damage from your point of view?

CMO Uax says:
XO: Uh uh. Okay....   :: Takes the phaser and places it in the holster. ::

CO McGrady says:
<SO> CO: They are gone ... the Luna and the Kondon remain.

CO McGrady says:
SO: Well, at least we don't have to worry about an attack ... at least for the time being

CSO Lane says:
:: Moves to the damaged sensors and looks over the situation. ::

XO Darvo says:
:: Straps on her phaser and tricorder and looks up as the security officer that will accompany them to the Kondon arrive fully armed. ::

CO McGrady says:
*CSO*: Are you feeling quite alright, Commander ... who is Sam?

CSO Lane says:
*CEO*: Give me time to assess things Commander. So far it doesn't look that bad.

CTO Liu says:
#:: Proceeds through Deck 23 with unit. ::

CO McGrady says:
*CTO*: Report on the security status of the Luna.

CSO Lane says:
*CO*: Sir? I'm fine Captain. Are you sure you are feeling well?

XO Darvo says:
:: Suddenly recalls her orders that they are to wear full EVA suits on the Away Team. ::

CO McGrady says:
:: Gives the bridge crew a confused look. ::   *CSO*: Perfect, Commander ... carry on.

TO Thursson says:
$Team: Alright, we're heading for Deck 2 now.   :: Heads towards the turbolift and waits for his team to squeeze in with him. ::   Turbolift: Deck 2.

CEO Quchant says:
:: Starts to check out the damage to the warp drive. ::

XO Darvo says:
CMO/Petty Officer Dye: Since we do not know the environ conditions on the Kondon, it would be prudent to transport over in EVA suits.

CMO Uax says:
XO: EVA suits? Uhm, I don't like them! Too restrictive!

XO Darvo says:
CMO: That's besides the point Ensign, neither do I, but I would rather breath oxygen then vacuum, do you read me?

XO Darvo says:
:: Quickly squirms into an EVA suit. ::

CMO Uax says:
XO: Aye aye.   :: Slowly steps into an EVA suit. ::

TO Thursson says:
$:: Arrives at Deck 2 with his security team and begins the sweep of the deck. ::

XO Darvo says:
:: Watches as CPO Dye struggles with the EVA suit, over those bulging muscles. ::

CTO Liu says:
#*CO*: I've secured engineering Captain. Ensign Thursson's unit has the bridge secured. No signs of scum as of yet.

CO McGrady says:
:: Begins to get concerned about the Wolf and Jackal teams. ::   SO: Are you reading ... check that.

CEO Quchant says:
:: Runs some diagnostics on the warp drive to figure out what's wrong with it. ::

CSO Lane says:
<ACSO Bond>CSO: Hope we can't repair the sensors. There's nothing left to repair. We'll have to construct a whole new system.

CO McGrady says:
*CTO*: Brilliant work ... be on guard.

XO Darvo says:
:: Clears throat. ::   All: Everyone ready?

CTO Liu says:
:: Sweeps through Deck 23 with unit. ::

CMO Uax says:
:: Looks around. ::   XO: Yes ma'am!

CSO Lane says:
:: Bends down and examines where the sensors should be. ::   ACSO: So fix it!

XO Darvo says:
:: Nods to the TR Chief to set the coordinates for the Kondon. ::   *CO*: Away Team ready to transport over to the Kondon, sir.

CO McGrady says:
<TO Dye>:: Looking very nervous. ::   XO: Rr-ready ma’am.

CTO Liu says:
:: Enters turbolift and proceeds to Deck 22. ::

CEO Quchant says:
*CSO*: Commander Lane ... status?

CO McGrady says:
*XO*: Permission to depart granted ... it might comfort you to know that the tetrahedrons are gone ... for now.

TO Thursson says:
$:: Completes his sweep of Deck 2 and squeezes back into the turbolift and heads for Deck 3. ::

XO Darvo says:
*CO*: Comforting, not sure that applies sir.

CSO Lane says:
*CEO*: Oh hi again Sam. Well, it seems that the sensors have gone poof. We're going to have to rebuild a whole new unit. Wanna come and help out?

CTO Liu says:
:: Commences sweep of Deck 21. ::

CO McGrady says:
:: Smiles a bit. ::   *XO*: Agreed ... best of luck, Commander ... report back regularly.

XO Darvo says:
*CO*: Aye sir.

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The XO's away team transports to the Andorian vessel....

XO Darvo says:
%:: Materializes on board the Kondon. ::

CEO Quchant says:
:: Thinking quickly. ::   *CSO*: Sure ... I'll be right there ... I have an idea though ... take half the sensor pallet from the port side and transfer it ... it'll be quicker than building new ones

CEO Quchant says:
:: Ends the communication. ::

CMO Uax says:
%:: Pulls out her tricorder scanning for life signs. ::

XO Darvo says:
%:: Checks to see if the CMO and CPO arrived in once piece. ::

TO Thursson says:
$:: Begins sweeping Deck 3. ::

CO McGrady says:
%<Dye>:: Materialized on the Kondon, and anxiously points his phaser about, excepting something to jump out. ::

CEO Quchant says:
*CO*: Captain....

CSO Lane says:
*CEO*: Any chance of getting environmental controls back on Deck 8? These suits are hot.   :: Waits for an answer. ::   Hello?

CO McGrady says:
*CEO*: Go ahead Commander.

XO Darvo says:
%CMO: Report, any life signs?

CMO Uax says:
%:: Looks to the CPO. ::   CPO: Relax.

CTO Liu says:
#:: Checks Decks 22 and below for vital signs just to be sure. ::

CMO Uax says:
%XO: No life signs I can detect Ma'am. Tricorder function is limited.

CSO Lane says:
:: Sends Bond off to get the necessary equipment for the repairs anyway. ::

CO McGrady says:
%<TO Dye> XO: C-confirmed.

CEO Quchant says:
*CO*: Commander Lane is getting noticeably worse ... she just called me Sam again ... I think I should make my way up there and keep an eye on her.  Oh and I thought we could take half the sensor pallet from the port side and move it over

CO McGrady says:
*CEO*: Agreed on all points ... Commander Lane called me Sam earlier.  Keep me apprised of her status, as well as the status of your repairs.

XO Darvo says:
%CMO: Okay, find the environ controls and see if you can get them working.

TO Thursson says:
$:: Heads on to Deck 4 and begins his sweep there. ::

CMO Uax says:
%XO: Aye aye….   :: Starts looking around the bridge for the Environ controls. ::

CEO Quchant says:
:: Nods to one of engineers and grabs an EVA suit and climbs into it. ::

CO McGrady says:
%<TO Dye> XO: With your permission, I'd like t-t-to check the s-security logs.

XO Darvo says:
%Dye: fine, go ahead.

CEO Quchant says:
*CO*: Captain ... I don't want to waste time.  Can you transport me straight to Deck 8 ... down the hall from Lane's current position?

CSO Lane says:
*CEO*: Commander, are you able to spare some time to assist with the repairs here?

CTO Liu says:
#:: Completes sweep of Deck 21 and proceeds to Deck 20. ::

CMO Uax says:
%:: Looks back.  ::   TO: Oh for heavens sakes! Do I need to give you a sedative to calm you down!

CO McGrady says:
%<TO Dye> :: Draws up a console, and attempts to access the ship's security logs. ::

CO McGrady says:
*CEO*: Standby for transport.

CMO Uax says:
%XO: Found the Environ controls; attempting to bring them online.

CEO Quchant says:
*CSO*: Be right there

XO Darvo says:
%:: Sits in what could be the commander's chair. ::   CMO: Excellent.

CO McGrady says:
<AOPS>:: Engages site to site transport of the CEO to Deck 8. ::

XO Darvo says:
%:: Her language skills in Andorian are rusty, but she manages to find what might be the ships log. ::

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The CMO is successful and environmental controls come online...

CTO Liu says:
#:: Commences sweep of Deck 20. ::

CMO Uax says:
%XO: Environmental controls online. We can take off the EVA suits.

CEO Quchant says:
:: Appears several meters down the hall from Lane. ::

TO Thursson says:
$:: Completes his sweep of Deck 4 and continues on to 5. ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Looks over the environmental controls for the deck and tries to fiddle with them. ::   Self: Darn engineers can't fix anything.

XO Darvo says:
%CMO: Did you do a check of the atmosphere to see if there was anything hazardous to humans?

CEO Quchant says:
CSO: I heard that

CO McGrady says:
%<TO Dye>:: Jumps at the sight of his own shadow, then cowers with embarrassment. ::

XO Darvo says:
%:: Looks down at the dead Andorian at her feet. ::   CMO: …or to Andorian’s?

CSO Lane says:
:: Turns to see Thomas. ::   CEO: Oh sorry Thomas. I didn't mean that remark for you.   :: Smiles sheepishly. ::

CMO Uax says:
%XO: I have confirmed it is breathable for humans. Nitrogen/oxygen levels within safe parameters

CO McGrady says:
%<TO Dye> XO: Please…l-let me try first...   :: Reaches for his helmet. ::

XO Darvo says:
%CMO: Excellent.

CEO Quchant says:
:: Lumbers over to the CSO. ::

CO McGrady says:
%<TO Dye>:: Removes his helmet from his head, and takes a deep breath. ::

XO Darvo says:
%:: Looks at the CPO. ::   CMO: Scan him

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The air is breathable....

CO McGrady says:
%<TO Dye>:: Coughs violently. ::

CO McGrady says:
%<TO Dye>XO/CMO: Hehe ... just kiddin!

CMO Uax says:
%:: Extends the tricorder. ::   XO/CPO: All is normal.

CSO Lane says:
CEO: Any chance you can fix the life support from here?

XO Darvo says:
%:: Give the CPO a *look* that says, don't do that EVER again. ::

CO McGrady says:
%<TO Dye>:: Blushes with embarrassment, and returns to his analysis of the security logs. ::

CEO Quchant says:
CSO: Well ... let's not yet ... in case the force field gives out ... it's easier to maintain than environmental....  So ... what do you think about grabbing half the port sensor pallet.

TO Thursson says:
$:: Completes his sweep of Deck 5 and continues on to 6. ::

CTO Liu says:
#*TO*: Ensign, anything to report so far?

XO Darvo says:
%:: Again, looking at the bodies laying around on the deck. ::   CMO: See if you can find out what made them expire.

CMO Uax says:
%XO: Aye aye. I'd like to transport one back to the Vesuvius for a full autopsy.

CO McGrady says:
*XO*: Commander ... it looks like you've restored life support from what sensors we have available ... anything to report?

CTO Liu says:
:: Finishes sweep of Deck 20 and proceeds to turbolift to Deck 19. ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Grins. ::   CEO: Why Sam, that's not what you grabbed earlier.   :: Giggles. ::

TO Thursson says:
$*CTO*: Nope, I'm slightly happy to report that it's pretty dull, sir.

XO Darvo says:
%*CO*: Sir, nothing yet, sir. The Doc is going to investigate what happened to the crew and CPO Dye is checking the security logs.  I was about to download the ships logs and upload them to the Vesuvius.

CTO Liu says:
#:: Commences Deck 19 sweep. ::

CEO Quchant says:
CSO: HOPE!  Stick with me here ... I've sent some of my engineering staff to pull half the port sensor pallet and get it as far over here as they can ... we can then airlock it off and get it installed

CO McGrady says:
*XO*: Understood ... carry on.

CMO Uax says:
:: Looks down and scans the Andorian in front of him. ::

XO Darvo says:
%CMO: We have one onboard the Vesuvius already, you're teams were unable to come up with any reason for their deaths.  Do a field analysis here first.

CMO Uax says:
%XO: Aye aye.   CPO: Can you pull up the security logs I want to look at the atmospheric conditions before now.

CSO Lane says:
CEO: Fine, fine. Just do what you have to, but get my sensors working somehow.   :: Pouts and folds her arms across her chest. ::

CO McGrady says:
%<TO Dye> CMO:  R-right away, sir.   :: Sends available security logs. ::   Here's what I've found so far.

XO Darvo says:
%:: Finds the ships log and uploads it to her tricorder, requests Andorian to Standard so she can read it. ::

TO Thursson says:
$:: Completes his sweep of Deck 6 and continues on to 7. ::

CTO Liu says:
#:: Finishes Deck 19 and goes to turbolift to Deck 18. ::

XO Darvo says:
%:: Begins to scan the log in standard. ::

CMO Uax says:
%CPO: Thanks.   :: Looks over the logs… ::   Self: Hmmm, what’s this?   :: Reads the entry a bit more carefully. ::

CO McGrady says:
#<Luna Civilian>:: Jumps into the turbolift as it opens. ::   CTO: Are they gone!  ARE THEY GONE!!!!

CEO Quchant says:
:: Grabs a nearby PADD and sends a text message to the CO's chair while he's walking down the corridor away from Lane.  Message reads: CSO losing it.  Recommend Sickbay now.  Confine. ::

CMO Uax says:
%XO: I think I may have found something...

CO McGrady says:
%<CPO Dye> CMO: It's all Greek to me!   :: Scratches his head. ::

CMO Uax says:
%CPO: Don't worry about it. I understand.

CO McGrady says:
#:: Grabs the CTO's uniform. ::   CTO: Tell me!  TELL ME!

CTO Liu says:
#Luna Civilian: That is what I'm here for ... to check for danger. So far the coast is clear. It is safe. You can come with me.

CEO Quchant says:
:: Wonders if the captain is sitting down. ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Wonders what Thomas is doing with the PADD and grabs it away. ::   CEO: Got it ... now let's see what you've been doing.   :: Reads the message. ::

TO Thursson says:
$:: Completes his sweep of Deck 7 and continues on to 8. ::

CMO Uax says:
%XO: It seems there was a biomimetic device placed in one of the air ducts on the ship.

XO Darvo says:
%:: Doesn't find anything unusual in the ships logs. Calls up the internal sensors. ::

XO Darvo says:
%CMO: Explain

CTO Liu says:
#Civilian: It's alright. You're safe with me.  I'm Lieutenant Liu of the USS Vesuvius, and you are?

CO McGrady says:
#:: Gives the CTO a hopeful glance. ::   CTO: Yes ... yes ... I will follow you, my hero   :: Grabs his arm. ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Looks up into Thomas' eyes as she finishes reading. ::   CEO: Thomas?

CMO Uax says:
%XO: A device that let loose small amounts of cyanide into the atmosphere at preset intervals.

CTO Liu says:
#:: Commences sweep of Deck 18. ::

CEO Quchant says:
CSO: Your ill ... you've been calling me ... and the CO, "Sam" ... you need help

XO Darvo says:
%CMO: Have you confirmed that the Andorian’s were killed by this device?

CEO Quchant says:
:: Tries to sound comforting. ::

CO McGrady says:
#:: Staring at the CTO in admiration. ::   CTO: I am Ambrosia Lightheart...

XO Darvo says:
%:: Internal sensors show the Andorian crew performing their duties normally. ::

CMO Uax says:
%XO: That is what it seems like. I would need to get back to the Vesuvius and continue the autopsy. I didn't scan that deeply for any sort of poisons.

XO Darvo says:
%CMO: Aye, I'll notify the Vesuvius.

CSO Lane says:
:: Suddenly becomes very sad. ::   CEO: I couldn't have called you Sam ... could I?

XO Darvo says:
%*Transporter Room 1*: Beam the CMO directly back to Sickbay.

CTO Liu says:
#Civilian: Well Miss Lightheart, in what capacity where you serving aboard the Luna?

XO Darvo says:
<TR1> *XO*: Aye, one to transport to Sickbay

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The CMO is beamed directly to sickbay...

CO McGrady says:
:: Sends a text reply to the CEO confirming his request. ::

CMO Uax says:
:: Reappearing in sickbay. ::   Nurse Tago: Prepare the Andorian body for
re-examination.

CEO Quchant says:
CSO: You did ... I'm sorry ... I know it's hard to imagine ... but I swear I'm not lying.   :: Hears the PADD beep in Lane's hand. ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Her eyes start to well up with tears at the thought of Sam. ::

XO Darvo says:
%:: Watches the sensor log closely as a Tetrahedron appears on the Kondon's viewscreen. ::

CTO Liu says:
#:: Finishes up Deck 18 and proceeds to Deck 17. ::

XO Darvo says:
%:: A beam of light ... a female crewmember picked up and held ... then another and another.... ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Looks down at the PADD. ::   CEO: Yours?   :: Hands it to Thomas. ::

CEO Quchant says:
:: Takes the PADD. ::

CO McGrady says:
#<Civilian> CTO:  I am an artist ... I paint the most wonderful portraits ... if we get out of this mess alive, I will paint a picture of you, my hero.

XO Darvo says:
%:: The light on the Kondon vanishes, many crew from the Andorian ship are missing. ::

XO Darvo says:
%:: The Andorian commander details that the Tetrahedron wouldn't answer their hails and is missing approximately a quarter of his crew. ::

CMO Uax says:
:: Goes over the Andorian with a fine tooth comb, but finds nothing and scratches her head. ::   Self: Well now that is strange!

CTO Liu says:
#Civilian: Well than I am sure your portrait of me will be the greatest work of art you've ever done and you will probably win a bunch of awards for it too.

XO Darvo says:
%:: Sighs. ::

TO Thursson says:
$:: Completes his sweep of Deck 8 and continues on to 9. ::

CTO Liu says:
#*TO*: Erik, I have a Luna civilian with me.

CO McGrady says:
#<Civilian>:: Smiles, then a wave of fear comes back over her, and she looks around anxiously, still clinging to the CTO. ::

CEO Quchant says:
:: Looks at Lane through the EVA headpiece screens. ::

CTO Liu says:
#:: Completes sweep of Deck 17 and proceeds to Deck 16. ::

TO Thursson says:
$*CTO*: Acknowledged, I'll let you know if I find anyone. I’m currently sweeping Deck 9, sir.

CSO Lane says:
:: Starts to walk away from Thomas to check on her team. ::   CEO: I need to check on the team.

CEO Quchant says:
CSO: Come on ... I'll take care of you ... let's head this way.   :: Points. ::

CSO Lane says:
CEO: After I check on my people, please.

CMO Uax says:
*XO*: Nothing out of the ordinary here … except for one thing.  Electro impulses in the brain have been shorted in some fashion.

CEO Quchant says:
CSO: They know their jobs ... they know their duty ... they'll be fine ... they're Starfleet.

XO Darvo says:
%*CO*: Sir, I've just reviewed their internal sensor log.  They too were brought here by the Tetrahedron, but the CMO found a device that may have been planted.  Cause of death may be cyanide. Perhaps we should scan the Vesuvius for these devices also.

CTO Liu says:
#:: Proceeds to Deck 15 after finishing Deck 16. ::

CEO Quchant says:
:: Wonders when the CO is going to order the transport to sickbay. ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Looks longingly down the corridor at the rest of her team but doesn't move. ::

CO McGrady says:
*XO* Very well, I'll order an internal scan ... hopefully our internal sensors are up to the task. ::

CO McGrady says:
*CMO*: Send the bridge Science Officer a reading on the device you found.

XO Darvo says:
*CMO*: Perhaps the light that captures the bodies?

CEO Quchant says:
CSO: Come on ... this way....   :: Tries to be kind ... and tries to remember the academy counseling classes. ::

CTO Liu says:
#Civilian: Do you know what has happened here Miss Lightheart? Do you know what happened to anybody?
