Mission Summary:
The nature of the caverns contents has been revealed, 20 humanoid life forms representing various races both within and without the federation have been placed into modified stasis pods while an RNA retrovirus modifies their genetic code to allow them to survive in high radiation environments making them ideally suited for mining some of the more high risk and high profit materials around. The stasis pods are on a time lock and set to open 2 days from the current time.

In addition, there is a tank containing some sort of organic goo that is not registering on sensors,  the CTO is currently trying to determine which of five pass codes ( Memetic, Pizza, Ice Cream, Shield, Doughnut) found is the correct one to unlock the secured data terminal attached to the tank.  If the incorrect code is entered, and if Dr. Rein is to be believed, it would result in the destruction of the cavern at the very least and possibly the entire mining colony.

In addition to that the anomaly has, for reasons unknown, jumped one third of the distance between it and the scimitar decreasing the time to intercept to a little less then 2 and 2/3 hours and causing a sudden drop in the warp cores containment field to 61%. At this time the CO is Questioning Dr Rein for any information that may assist the Scimitar and her crew to combat the anomaly.

Mission Briefing:
TO: 		Authorized Personnel, U.S.S. Scimitar NCC-80826
FROM: 		Captain John Winters, Commanding Officer
SUBJECT:	Mission Briefing - Stardate 10110.01
DATE:		Stardate 10110.01
---------------------------------

I want answers and I want them now. What happened to the atmosphere on the planet that caused injuries to the colonists? Even if they are criminals, and even if they were holding the away team hostage the force used was excessive. They have not been proven to be criminals and they were not holding us hostage.

CTO: Continue with your investigation on the surface. And keep me informed.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@::Looks at the console, wondering what he should do about the "problem"::

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
::Sits on bridge with a stony expression on his face::

Host Conrad says:
::Still fuming over what happened:: *CTO* Report.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@*CO* Sir, there's a little problem here. Apparently, they've been running biological experiments... The information tells me that it is an experiment to make mutants that are immune to most radiation.

OPS_Secturial says:
::On the bridge at the operations, checking current power levels::

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
::Is sitting in the XO's chair, handling Tactical and CSO from the console::

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CO: Should I begin localized scans on the CTO's position?

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@*CO* Should I destroy these experiments, sir?

Host CO_Winters says:
*CTO* Not yet, I have to talk to the Doctor.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@*CO* Aye. I'll hold.

Host CO_Winters says:
*AXO* Where is Dr. Rein located?

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@::Walks around the stasis tubes and looks into one (from the outside, of course)::

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CO: She is still at the colony sir, unless she was beamed up. I can have security check the holding cells to check for her?

Host CO_Winters says:
*AXO* We just destroyed her colony; I would hope she is in quarters.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@*CO* It appears that these experiments are alive.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CO: With all due respect, sir, we did not destroy her colony.

OPS_Secturial says:
XO: All power levels are optimal...  But we still have that problem with the warp core’s containment field...  It's dropping steadily, now at 76%...

Host CO_Winters says:
::Glares at the AXO :: AXO: Try to find her. ::Sits in the center seat::

Host CO_Winters says:
*CTO* Are they close to being complete?

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CO: I'll do my best sir.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@*CO* Yes, sir. Very close.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CO: Sir, she is in the brig, she has just returned from sickbay.

OPS_Secturial says:
::Brings up the new internal scans of main engineering and walks to the engineering console on the bridge::

Host CO_Winters says:
*CTO* Despite the illegal activity, I don't think we can justify destroying them.

Host CO_Winters says:
AXO: Very well. ::Stands and walks to the TL:: You have the bridge.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
::Nods at the captain::

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@*CO* Well, what are we to do? We can't destroy them, we can't let the experiment finish... ::Looks over to his side:: *CO* Hold on, sir...

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@::Goes over to a tank and looks for a label::

Host CO_Winters says:
*CTO* I think I will leave this up to Starfleet.

Host CO_Winters says:
*OPS* Begin compiling data to send to Starfleet, I think the parent company should also be investigated.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@*CO* I've found a tank of, what appears to be, organic goo... Are y’all getting this up there?

OPS_Secturial says:
::Taps his comm badge::  *CO*: Aye, Captain… I will get on it immediately...

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@::Goes over to the terminal attached to the tank and attempts to access data from it::

Host CO_Winters says:
*CTO* Run an analysis. Our Chief Science Officer is not currently available.

OPS_Secturial says:
::Downloads the containment log files for the last 2 hours to a PADD and moves back to his own station::

Host CO_Winters says:
::Walks off the turbolift into the brig::

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
::Takes the bridge and waits, wondering about the future of his career, but still sure he did the right thing.::

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@*CO* Aye. I'm trying to access the information on the console, but it's encrypted. If I don't get the password, it'll take me a long time to get in...

Host CO_Winters says:
*OPS* Beam to the surface with the CTO and help him with decryption. Take all the equipment you will require.

Host CO_Winters says:
::Eyes Dr. Rein in the corner cell::

Host Kevin says:
<Dr.Rein> ::Sitting on the floor of the brig, leaning against the wall.::

OPS_Secturial says:
::Looks up at the CO's comment a little bit surprised::  *CO*: Understood, Captain..

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@::Starts trying to break the code::

Host CO_Winters says:
Doctor: First of all I must apologize for the actions of my crew while I was on the planet. However, we did find some interesting items after the fact.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@Self: I wonder... ::Starts tapping on his padd to see if he can get a link with the tank computer::

OPS_Secturial says:
::Lays the PADD in one the drawers under his station and stands::  AXO: Sir, permission to leave the bridge?

Host Kevin says:
<Dr.Rein> ::Looks up at CO, then away. Remains silent::

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
OPS: Granted.

OPS_Secturial says:
::Nods at the AXO and heads for the nearest TL::

Host CO_Winters says:
Doctor: I assure you that you are not helping matters by remaining silent.

OPS_Secturial says:
::Enters one of the TL's on the bridge and orders "Main Engineering", a second later the TL heads for it's target with the familiar sound::

Host Kevin says:
ACTION: A strong Shudder passes through the ship, warning alarms and lights go off on the bridge and in M.E.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
Computer: Cause of alarms?

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@::Continuing to try to establish a link between his padd and the tank terminal::

Host Kevin says:
<Dr. Rein> ::Not looking up at the CO, feels the shudder, then looks up:: CO: What was that?

OPS_Secturial says:
::Holds onto one of the rail in the TL::  Self: What the heck?

Host CO_Winters says:
*Bridge* Report.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CO: Ascertaining the situation.

Host CO_Winters says:
Doctor: There is some sort of anomaly headed to the ship. Can you shed some light on that situation? Might it have something to do with what you are doing on the surface?

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
Computer: Explain the alarms.

OPS_Secturial says:
*AXO*: Sir, I'm heading to Main engineering now, will try to ascertain the situation there....

Host Kevin says:
<Dr.Rein> CO: Anomaly? How would i know anything about an anomaly, i run a mining colony... one you just destroyed Starfleet.

OPS_Secturial says:
::Impatiently taps his fingers waiting for the Turbo Lift to reach it's destination::

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
OPS: That's what I am attempting to do

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
Computer: Damn it. What's wrong and how do I fix it?

Host Kevin says:
<Computer> AXO: The warp core's containment field just dropped by 15 percent, now at 61 %.

Host CO_Winters says:
Doctor: There were some illegal genetic experiments being run in a cavern in one corner of the colony. Can you explain that?

OPS_Secturial says:
::Grins slightly::  *AXO*: Well, in that case we have 2 people trying that now....

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
OPS: That’s great.

Host Kevin says:
<Computer> AXO: Possible method of correction can not be determined at this time.

OPS_Secturial says:
::Exits the TL as it reaches the engineering section and quickly heads out::  *CO*: Captain....I'm in main engineering now..::Sees a lot of engineering officer's running around::  and it's kind of a chaos down here...

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@Self: This is hopeless... Wait... maybe, since these people are obviously workers, one of them might know. ::Runs over to the other terminal to find one of the complete experiments::

Host CO_Winters says:
*OPS* We need to find out about that tank on the surface.

OPS_Secturial says:
*CO*: Understood, Sir... ::Turns again as he heads for one the engineering equipment lockers in one of the side corridors::

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@::Pulls out his tricorder and scans around for any signs of anyone else in the facility::

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@Self: I need to find that code...

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@*CO* Tell the Dr. that I need the code to get into the terminal that goes to the tank of the goo.

Host Kevin says:
<Dr.Rein> CO: not to you... what just happened then... This anomaly doing something to your ship. Beam us up from the colony you destroyed just to have us die in space?

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@::Goes to the medical office that is adjacent to the cavern to hunt for a password::

OPS_Secturial says:
::Opens the engineering equipment locker and takes all the equipment he needs and then heads of to the Turbo Lift at the end of the corridor, carrying the equipment with him in a backpack and small handbag::

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@::Rushes through padds and whatnot, trying to find the password::

Host CO_Winters says:
Doctor: Your colony is still intact. But we are now investigating illegal activities on the surface. You and your people will not be allowed to return until we find out what is happening down there.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@Self: Bingo... ::Looks through the files for the password::

OPS_Secturial says:
::Enters the Turbo Lift ordering "Transporter Room 1"::

Host Kevin says:
<Dr Rein>CO: returned to what? It took weeks to set up that atmospheric shield and pump out the planets atmosphere... you going to keep us here that long?

Host CO_Winters says:
Doctor: You don't seem to understand. You are under arrest pending further investigation. We have discovered illegal experiments being conducted in a colony that you run.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@Self: What do you know... the good Dr. is an idiot... ::Gets the pass code file and goes to the tank terminal::

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@*CO* Never mind, Captain. I've found the pass code. Tell the Dr. to not leave her codes in such an obvious spot.

Host Kevin says:
<Dr Rein> CO: And what right do you have to arrest us, this is, or was, a privately owned planet, Captain, free from Federation rule.

OPS_Secturial says:
::Exits the TL and enters TR1::

Host CO_Winters says:
Doctor: You are subject to federation law. We had probable cause to search because of the unusual energy signatures that we found.

Host CO_Winters says:
Doctor: And we have found a pass code in your office that links you to the experiments now.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@::Sees the 5 words in the pass code file, copies them to his padd, and goes over to the tank terminal::

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@::Starts by entering memetic::

Host Kevin says:
<Dr. Rein> CO: have you... good luck then. Use the wrong one and what little is left down there will be gone... what will you do without evidence I wonder.

Host CO_Winters says:
*CTO* HOLD!

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@*CO* Uh oh... what?

Host CO_Winters says:
*CTO* Use the wrong one and your space dust.

OPS_Secturial says:
::Begins putting on his EVA Suit::

Host CO_Winters says:
Doctor: Well we have enough to convict you know, Doctor. You have admitted to having knowledge of the room.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@*CO* Uh oh... I just put in a code. I was about to hit enter...

Host CO_Winters says:
Doctor: We need no further evidence.

OPS_Secturial says:
*AXO*: Ready to beam down, Sir... I have all the necessary equipment with me...

Host Kevin says:
<Dr Rein> CO: yes, but i never admitted what it was for Captain, and if asked, it's an emergency shelter for a worst case scenario... the failure of the colonies atmosphere

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
OPS: Understood. ::Gets ready by transporter controls::

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@*CO* How does memetic sound as a password?

OPS_Secturial says:
::Steps on the TR PADD, all geared up::

Host CO_Winters says:
Doctor: We have found bio-engineered people in there.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
::Energizes::

Host Kevin says:
<Dr Rein> ::Smiles smugly at the CO::  CO  Get that password wrong and you won't have any proof of the matter Captain, speaking of which, just how many of my people did you kill?

Host CO_Winters says:
Doctor: I only need scans... The password is of no matter.
