::steps off the turbolift onto the bridge::
XO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
@::Sitting in her chair in the Starfleet Runabout, she sighs and looks over to Commander Varesh, hoping that he has good news:: CMO: How are your patients, Doctor?
Host CO_Cmdr_Black says:
::glances at the viewscreen which is still black and grumbles something softly::  CTO/SO: Report Gentlemen, I need some adequate analysis on the double...
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
:: Scans for residual varion particles - they might give us a clue as to where or when the Away team is ::
FCO_LtJG_Exeter says:
@:shaking his head:: self: Okay that didn't work?
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@::runs another scan:: XO: Not good, Commander, they are both still out cold.
XO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
@CMO: Have they suffered any ill effects from our journey through that...::She motions to the outside::...rift?
MO_LtJG_Hixxan_ says:
::Jau enter sickbay and looks through the glass to see the CMO sitting there... he goes in to talk to him::
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
CO: Scanning for information, Sir.
XO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
@::She turns in her chair to face Commander Varesh, looking at the Doctor, and the rest of her staff, with a sigh:: FCO: Lieutenant, any luck determining our location?
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
CO: No information at this time, Sir
FCO_LtJG_Exeter says:
@:;sits back and ponders:: Self: I wonder? 
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@::shakes his head:: XO: No, commander, its from them hitting their heads. Nothing to be done until I get better medical facilities to work with. All I can do is keep them comfortable.
Host Taq`Fan says:
::looking at the viewscreen with a worried expression on his face::
MO_LtJG_Hixxan_ says:
::realizes the empty couched looked like the CMO from the weird angle... but the CMOs office is really empty... makes his way to the sickbay attached laboratory::
FCO_LtJG_Exeter says:
@XO: This reminds me of some trouble I had with the Nighthawk, commander, we and a part of the fleet got stuck in another dimension. Maybe those files could help us.
Host CO_Cmdr_Black says:
::shakes his head::  SO: Let's begin with the varion particles, you stated earlier that varion particles are normally accompanied by subspace rifts, right ?
XO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
@::She nods once quickly and lets out a sigh:: CMO: Do your best, Commander...FCO: I'll begin a records search, you focus on modifying our sensors...hopefully we can compare readings, maybe figure out where we are...
CNS_Ens_tr’Loris says:
::Walks over to his chair, sits down with a worried look on his face::
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
CO: Yes, sir I did, but there are currently no varion particles detected.  Which does not make sense, unless this is not a naturally occurring phenomenon.
FCO_LtJG_Exeter says:
@XO: I'll try, but I'm a Flyer not a engineer
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@::nods and runs another scan on the two officers, then injects them with an anti-inflammatory agent::
Host CO_Cmdr_Black says:
::glances at the CNS::  CNS: Counselor, we could use a hand at tactical for the moment, try to get more information on the black whole that swallowed the AT through the tactical sensors...
CNS_Ens_tr’Loris says:
CO: yes, sir. ::heads for tactical to run some scans::
Host CO_Cmdr_Black says:
::thinks for a moment::  SO: Check the sensor logs, the varion particles appeared and disappeared in a blink of an eye...?
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
CO: To be more accurate, in the blink of a subspace rift.
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@XO: I've done what I can for the moment, Commander... anything you want me to handle?
MO_LtJG_Hixxan_ says:
::in laboratory he makes sure all the conditions are set for testing with the cardassian zabos...he hears them jumping around in their cages...he gets MO_sternbach to place one in the work area while Jau brings up his files on screen::
Host Taq`Fan says:
::watches Tr'Loris at tactical::
XO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
@FCO: Of course not Mister Exeter, I would not require you to change professions...do your best to work with the navigational sensors...
CNS_Ens_tr’Loris says:
::Shakes his head looking at the scans:: CO: nothing.  It's like I was never there.
Host CO_Cmdr_Black says:
*MO*: Black to Hixxan, Lieutenant, you had time to investigate further on that old freighter we encountered earlier on ?
Host CO_Cmdr_Black says:
::glances at the CNS::  CNS: Not a single trace ?
CNS_Ens_tr’Loris says:
CO: Not a one.
Host CO_Cmdr_Black says:
SO: Any idea's on what could have caused this subspace rift to appear out of thin air...?
FCO_LtJG_Exeter says:
@Self: maybe a low powered sensor sweep might help? ::tries to do a low powered sensors sweep:::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@::gets up from where he was working and goes to the front of the shuttle again::
XO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
@::Standing up, she places her hand on Lieutenant Taylor's shoulder. She suggests that he attempt to use the sensor equipment in the back of the Runabout to assist in their investigation. As he leaves, she takes his seat next to Lt. Exeter::
Host CO_Cmdr_Black says:
::shakes his head::  CNS: Send a message to Starfleet informing them of the recent events....
MO_LtJG_Hixxan_ says:
::as he is putting on gloves, he gets a message from the captain:: *CO*  I'll just check my files now sir
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
CO: My best guess would be something associated with the freighter.
Host CO_Cmdr_Black says:
*MO*: Thank you Lieutenant, we are wrapped in a mystery up here....
XO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
@CMO: Commander Varesh...you have been cross trained in various other fields - other then medical - correct? ::She looks up at him with a smile::
Host CO_Cmdr_Black says:
::nods::  SO: Possibly, maybe the same thing that brought the freighter in this part of space or time in the first place...?
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
CO: Exactly.
MO_LtJG_Hixxan_ says:
MO_Sternbach: ok, I’ll leave you in charge here for a moment, and watch out for that cage.... it's tipped at an angle, the OPS wouldn't like it if we let any of these guys get away throughout the shift ::laughs::... back in a minute
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@::nods:: XO: Aye, Commander. OPS, flight, tactical and counseling... medical and counseling was major courses, but I passed the others quite well. I did have close association with one of the flight instructors at the Academy, she used to make me do simulations to keep my hand in.
Host CO_Cmdr_Black says:
CNS: Counselor, check the federation database on the reports of this region and search for any unexplained disappearances in the past few years...
FCO_LtJG_Exeter says:
@Self: That's odd, no telemetry from the sweep no  Buoy to get our clocks right. ::looks at Xia:: XO: I think it's safe to say we are  far away from the federation, I should have been getting some noise from the closest Starfleet buoy by now.
XO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
@::Tapping several commands into her console, she locks down several non-essential systems and downloads all the information they have on the freighter to her tricorder:: CMO: Thank you, Commander, I don't require a complete listing of your courses...a simple yes would suffice...::She smiles and stands, toss a phaser in the air for him to catch::
CNS_Ens_tr’Loris says:
::starts a query in the database::
XO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
@CMO: Congratulations, Commander, you just volunteered to help me explore that freighter. I doubt it's a coincidence that vessel just happened to be at the exact point of a subspace rift...and I want to find out why.
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@::plucks the phaser from the air as it arches towards him, and checks the setting automatically.:: XO: You have something in mind?
MO_LtJG_Hixxan_ says:
::goes to the research and analysis terminal beside the laboratory and sits down in the chair, he brings up all the files on the ship:: Self: I wonder did the SO pick up some scans too   *SO* Hixxan to Science, I'm looking for scanning data of the 300 year old freighter we were looking at before...
CNS_Ens_tr’Loris says:
::reads the one reply to his inquiry:: CO: There's an incident of an Andorian infantry transporter was taken 5 months ago.  
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@::gets up and walks towards the rear of the shuttle:: XO: Perhaps we should check that Mr. Exeter has a firm transporter lock on us.
Host CO_Cmdr_Black says:
::walks over to the SO::  SO: Bring up those sensors readings again of when the AT was swallowed by that black mass...
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
*MO*: Relaying information now.
XO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
@FCO: Lieutenant Exeter, remain aboard...keep working on our location...CMO: Commander, you're with me...::He emerald eyes twinkle in the odd light filtering through the windows of the Runabout and she heads in the direction of the freighter entrance::
CNS_Ens_tr’Loris says:
::reads another:: CO: and a..an entire flotilla though that was a long time ago.
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
::Br9ings up the sensor reading as requested, while leaving the scanner looking for anything else obviously unusual::
Host CO_Cmdr_Black says:
::glances at the CNS::  CNS: Position of that Andorian Vessel...?
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
CO: On Main Viewer Sir?
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@::walks with Xia:: XO: Commander, I hope you don't mind if I speak to you mentally... I just want to make sure I can find you by different means then standard Federation equipment.
XO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
@CMO: A good idea...::She glances back at Exeter:: FCO: Please do you best to make sure we get back safely...::She smiles and nods before leaving the cockpit::
CNS_Ens_tr’Loris says:
::looks at the file for the Andorian transport::
MO_LtJG_Hixxan_ says:
*SO* thank you, hixxan out ::Watches as the data comes up on the screens..with his own information as well he tries to find any anomalies...
FCO_LtJG_Exeter says:
@XO: Aye, aye! :;letting the runabout do several sensors  sweeps to find anything::
XO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
@CMO: Completely acceptable, Commander...growing up on a planet full of telepaths, I have grown quite accustomed to the impressions of a telepathic mind...::She smiles and switches on her wrist light once more::
Host Taq`Fan says:
ACTION: The sensor data comes up on the viewscreen
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
CO: There you go, Sir.
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@::switches on his wrist light as well, and gently touches Xia's mind, so he can find her again::
Host CO_Cmdr_Black says:
::nods at the SO and turns to look at the viewscreen, trying to make sense of the data::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@XO: WE stick together? Or split up?
CNS_Ens_tr’Loris says:
::Double checks the coordinates:: CO: the Andorian transporter was in the same place as the freighter.
XO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
@::She heads into the freighter, she coughs once lightly, adjusting to the stale oxygen that seems to have been settling for a millenia:: CMO: At the first sign of trouble, I want you to beam back to the Runabout and get away from here...understood?
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
CO: As you can see, it appears to be around three hundred years old, and not terribly remarkable.  A perfect wooden horse.
Host CO_Cmdr_Black says:
::frowns::  CNS: Interesting... what did you say about an "entire flotilla?"
MO_LtJG_Hixxan_ says:
::the information came in, but there was nothing strange on the freighter at all... although evidence of biological matter is located in 2 large container areas of the ship::
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
CO: And I can now conform that the Subspace rift was not natural in origin.
CNS_Ens_tr’Loris says:
CO: an entire Klingon flotilla several years ago.
MO_LtJG_Hixxan_ says:
*CO* looks like there’s some kind of biological matter on the ship, it's in two large containers sir...
Host CO_Cmdr_Black says:
::nods::  SO: Indeed, like it was pulled out of history and brought here....
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@::eyes Xia:: XO: I'd prefer if you hightailed back to the shuttle and not me... you're more important.
MO_LtJG_Hixxan_ says:
*CO* nothing else to report though sir...
FCO_LtJG_Exeter says:
@::Sits back:: Self: well, just stay calm and relax nothing is gonna happen, yet!
Host CO_Cmdr_Black says:
*MO*: Biological Matter...?  Can you be more specific, Lieutenant...?
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@XO: I suggest we head for the bridge, we could be able to find the information we need there.
Host CO_Cmdr_Black says:
CNS: Understood...
Host CO_Cmdr_Black says:
CNS: Better calls up the reports made on those missing and look for cross references...
XO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
@::She begins to search her sensor data in hopes of identifying a "Bridge" or "Main Engineering.":: CMO: That may be true in the eyes of Starfleet, Commander...however while you return to the Runabout, I will be doing my best to stabilize this vessel...it may be key in our return to the Scimitar...
XO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
@CMO: Agreed...::She checks her scans once more:: Any idea where it may be...Commander?
Host CO_Cmdr_Black says:
SO: Not natural..right... what did you find that confirms that...?
MO_LtJG_Hixxan_ says:
*Bridge* it's unknown sir.... all I can tell you is that there’s some kind of biological substance on the ship...well, according the sensor sweeps.
CNS_Ens_tr’Loris says:
::calls up the file on the transporter and flotilla and asks the computer to do a cross reference::
XO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
@CMO: This way...::She motions down a corridor and begins to lead Varesh down towards where her scans seem to show they can locate the main bridge::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@::scans the area as they walk:: XO: Stabilize how, Commander? ::thinks a moment:: Normal design ethics dictate that the bridge should be towards the front and top of the ship.
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
CO: A total lack of the varion particles that would accompany a naturally occurring subspace rift.  Sir.
Host CO_Cmdr_Black says:
*MO*: Understood, Lieutenant...thank you...
FCO_LtJG_Exeter says:
@*XO*:just wondering, is it okay to send out a SOS, there could be some intelligent life here or something like Starfleet?
XO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
@CMO: Returning main power, accessing control systems...that's how...::She smiles and looks back at him:: Commander, you will find I have never been a fan of "design ethics." I feel a bridge should be in a secure location, not a target for every weapon to see...
CNS_Ens_tr’Loris says:
::frowns:: CO: they were all in the same spot. ::thinks:: It's almost like a trap somebody set out for whoever comes across it.
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@::follows Xia through the corridors of the freighter::
Host CO_Cmdr_Black says:
::nods::  SO: All Right....can analyze the sensor readings and determine what was at the "other side" of that black hole that swallowed the AT ?
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
CO: Aye Sir.  ::Starts going through the scans with a fine tooth comb::
XO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
@::Tapping her comm. badge, she speaks up clearly:: *FCO*: Permission granted, Lieutenant...any sign of approaching vessels, and inform me immediately, understood?
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@::chuckles:: XO: To me it makes sense if the bridge was in the middle of the ship - its not like we use our eyeballs to pilot or anything... all by sensors and displays... like the battle bridge on the Enterprise.
Host CO_Cmdr_Black says:
CNS: An interesting hypothesis...any idea what could be the trigger...?
MO_LtJG_Hixxan_ says:
::gets back to his research in the Sickbay laboratory...:: MO_sternbach: So , how are we doing ensign....
CNS_Ens_tr’Loris says:
::thinks:: CO: not at the moment. 
FCO_LtJG_Exeter says:
@::Sends out a SOS every  2 minutes hoping somebody picks  them up::*XO*: Done, let's hope we get some friendly aliens!
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@::thinks a moment:: XO: Perhaps one of us should get to their engineering section to restore power to the ship?
XO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
@CMO: Agreed...however, for some reason, design specialists seem to disagree with logic...::She smiles and round another corner, moments later heading into the bridge - alert and cautious::
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
CO: Our sensors recorded no data as to what lies within the rift, Sir.
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@::enters the bridge, with phaser at the ready::
Host CO_Cmdr_Black says:
CNS: Very well, see if you find me a solution on that... ::smiles faintly::
XO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
@CMO: If we had Commander Suder and Ensign Stronghorn with us...I would agree...however I would prefer to avoid splitting up just yet...emergency power will have to do for now...
CNS_Ens_tr’Loris says:
self: an infantry transport, a klingon flotilla and a freighter.
Host CO_Cmdr_Black says:
::glances at Taq'Fan::  Taq'Fan: Anything you could add to this investigation, Ambassador...?
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@::nods:: XO: I understand.
XO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
@CMO: Begin checking main controls...see if you can get any systems online...::She heads to the front of the bridge and looks about::
Host Taq`Fan says:
CO: Not yet, Commander.
Host CO_Cmdr_Black says:
::nods::  Taq'Fan: Be sure to let me know when something comes to your attention that could be valuable for this mission....
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
CO: I believe the Freighter is a decoy, placed here to lure in intelligent and curious life-forms.  Whoever put it here is most ingenious.
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@::heads to the engineering console, and tries to get things operational, giving up after a few minutes:: XO: Commander... this is getting us nowhere. I say we head in different directions to get to the bottom of this.
FCO_LtJG_Exeter says:
@::sits back again and starts reading reports, waiting for any replies to his SOS::
Host Taq`Fan says:
CO: Ensign DeLindt is correct, Commander.
CNS_Ens_tr’Loris says:
::looks back at both of the files comparing them:: CO: Both Andorians and Klingons reported seeing the freighter. I think it was activated by maybe they presence of fighters, warriors.
Host CO_Cmdr_Black says:
::nods::  SO / Taq'Fan: I would have to agree...
XO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
@::After several moments of working with a non-functional display, she sighs and gives up:: CMO: Agreed...proceed to Engineering, attempt to re-gain main power. Keep an open comm. link at all times, and keep Lieutenant Exeter informed of your progress, understood?
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
CO/CNS: Not necessarily warriors.  Perhaps anyone who investigated the obviously misplaced freighter closely enough?
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@::nods:: XO: Aye, Commander. ::heads off the bridge and for the main engineering of the freighter:: *FCO*: Lt. I'm heading to main engineering to see what I can learn there. Maintain an open link between me, you and Commander Xia.
XO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
@::Slinging her phaser rifle over her shoulder, and taps her comm. badge:: *FCO*: Lieutenant Exeter, Commander Varesh will be attempting to regain main power in the Engineering section. I am proceeding to the Cargo hold...I'd like to know what these people were hauling...it might be a clue as to what happened to them...
Host CO_Cmdr_Black says:
SO / CNS: All Right...time for an experiment then..  SO: Prepare a probe with the information we gathered on this whole situation and be ready to fire it at slow velocity at the freighter's old location...
FCO_LtJG_Exeter says:
@::taps a few buttons:: *XO/CMO*: Com link open, just keep me informed of your progress
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
CO: Aye Sir.  ::prepares the probe::  Launch at your command Sir.
XO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
@::Pulling out her tricorder once again, she leaves the bridge, and heads in the opposite direction as Commander Varesh, watching his light fade away in the distance. After several short moments she closes near to the Cargo Hold and stops at the main entrance::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@*FCO*: Understood, Lt. ::walks quickly along the corridor, keeping alert for anything that could give them a clue as to what was going on.
Host CO_Cmdr_Black says:
FCO: Helmsman, take us off a little....   CNS: Prepare all sensors to record whatever happens....
Host Taq`Fan says:
ACTION: The Scimitar backs off a little.
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@::enters a Jeffries tube to climb down several levels to get to engineering::
CNS_Ens_tr’Loris says:
CO: yes, sir. ::readies the sensors::
Host CO_Cmdr_Black says:
::glances at Taq'Fan and waits for the nod from his helmsman and then nods at the SO::  SO: Fire at will...
FCO_LtJG_Exeter says:
@::Scans for older remaining debris or anything that would look like a other ship::
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
CO: Launching Probe now sir.  ::Thinks to self: you don’t fire probes, you launch them. ::
XO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
@::Tapping several commands into a control panel, she watches as the Cargo Doors slide open, the large creaking of old metal filling her ears. Pausing for a moment, she stops to takes some scans of cargo hold before stepping in slowly and cautiously::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@::exits the tubes after several minutes of climbing and walks down the corridor to where he thinks engineering would be:: Self: I hope I'm right.
Host Taq`Fan says:
ACTION: The probe is fired/launched/thrown/chucked towards the area where the freighter was
Host Taq`Fan says:
ACTION: The cargo hold is full of very large glass cylindrical containers.
MO_LtJG_Hixxan_ says:
*SO* just to let you know, I'm free for a while, if you need any help ill do what I can from here....
Host Taq`Fan says:
ACTION: Xia's silhouette is cast across the floor
XO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
@::Glancing down at her scans, Xia begins to look around the room, moving around cargo containers and looks over at several cases tossed off to the side of the room:: *CMO/FCO*: I am detecting a mass of biological material...
Host CO_Cmdr_Black says:
::concentrates at the viewscreen as the probe flies towards the freighter's old position::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@::stops before a set of doors and scans the area behind them:: Self: Looks like I'm here. ::tries several combinations of access codes and finally gets the doors open. Cautiously enters and looks around:: *XO*: Biological, how?
FCO_LtJG_Exeter says:
*CMO/XO*:That's more then I’m seeing!
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
*MO*: Certainly...  Got any more information on those biological reading you mentioned earlier?
XO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
@*CMO/FCO*: Attempting to adjust sensors and identify...I am proceeding to investigate...::She pauses briefly, checking her scans:: Unknown, Commander...
Host Taq`Fan says:
ACTION: The probe rockets past the hole point
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
CO: Sir, the subspace rift did not appear.
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@*FCO*: Lt. can you beam me to Commander Xia's position?
XO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
@::Looks over at the glass containers, Xia crouches down in the darkness, peering into the translucent glass:: *CMO/FCO*: There are a large amount of glass storage containers...that appear to contain, odd, L-shaped tools...I can't seem to identify a set purpose for them...
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
CO: it may require some biological component to trigger the mechanism.
MO_LtJG_Hixxan_ says:
*SO* I'll check now... ::goes to his console and checks the scans again for strange readings...
Host CO_Cmdr_Black says:
::grumbles::  SO: Hhhmm, prepare another one and program it to drift to the freighter's coordinates and hold position there...
CNS_Ens_tr’Loris says:
SO: so what does it need to activate it or is it not done cycling through? 
Host CO_Cmdr_Black says:
::glances at the CNS::  CNS: Anything on your sensors...?
FCO_LtJG_Exeter says:
@::looks at his console and then notices  something::*CMO/XO*: I think we have visitors, I have a large ship heading our way!
CNS_Ens_tr’Loris says:
::checks the sensors for the smallest clue::
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
CNS: My recommendations are empirical guesses at best.  I’m using the "If it doesn't work, try something else" school of science.
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@*FCO*: Can you identify them? And beam us both back to the shuttle!
XO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
@::Sighing, she runs her hand along the surface of the glass, clearing away the layers of dust and grim on the smooth surface. As she realizes what the objects are, she jumps up to her full height, letting out a soft yelp and dropping her tricorder to the ground. Her heart pounding, she feels almost sick to her stomach and pauses to try to calm herself in the dark::
Host CO_Cmdr_Black says:
::nods::  SO: Could be as well...  maybe the biological components aboard the freighter ?
Host Taq`Fan says:
ACTION: Xia's revulsion is justifiable.  The containers contain kneecaps.  They have all been cut off, many have become gangrenous and rotten, but some are still fresh, small strands of flesh and muscle hanging loose.  The sight is indeed, a gory one.  Ewwww......
FCO_LtJG_Exeter says:
@::lock onto the CMO and XO::*CMO/XO*: Unknown origin
SO_Ens_DeLindt says:
CO: It may have been the presence of our Away Team that triggered the rift the first time, together with the technology of the Runabout.
XO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
@*CMO/FCO*: I have identified the bio matter...::Slowly, she picks up her tricorder and backs away from the containers:: The cargo hold appears to contain large amounts of...::She pauses, feeling almost sick at the thought::...severed kneecaps...
CNS_Ens_tr’Loris says:
self: would it be activated by robats
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@::frowns:: Self: Kneecaps?
FCO_LtJG_Exeter says:
@::tries to beam the XO and CMO back onto the runabout::*CMO/XO*: I think I don't wanna know about the kneecaps, standby for beam  out!
XO_LtCmdr_Xia says:
@::Hearing the comm. signal, she is torn out of her own shock, being pulled back to the "real world" as it would seem:: *FCO*: Lieutenant, beam us back...now...
