Summary - Day Fifteen.

The crew of the U.S.S. Scimitar is currently in orbit of the planet Krios, hosting the final sets of negotiations between the Klingons, Federation, Kriosians and Valtese. During their negotiations the crew has discovered that not only has a deadly virus begun to sweep over the surface of Krios, that members of their own crew have become infected.

With the Klingon Ambassador dieing and in stasis, the ship's Chief Medical Officer rushes to save the life of the diplomat, himself, and his assistant, Ensign Kerak. At the same time, an away team run by Commander Maor has beamed to the surface to meet with Doctor Armistand, one the Kriosian scientists studying a shift in global temperatures on Krios. Could the temperature increase and the virus be connected?

Only time will tell, and time seem to be running out...

@::stares at a monitor showing details of the virus, looks like she just ran a marathon, was out all night partying and has had way to much coffee::
CJ-Tala says:
<Computer> CMO: Cross reference complete. Viral infection reported in 117 cases between Stardates 7102.05 and 10306.09.
ACIV_Dr_Armistead says:
@Computer: Out come of listed cases?
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
@CTO: Could be worse, you know.

CSO_Lt_Enki says:
@::Trills tend to like the cold, then stretches::  CTO: Not so bad
Harmony says:
::With a plate of cookies, she joins him::  CO:  How is the tea?
CEO_LtJG_Leasha says:
@::Walks up behind the CTO:: CTO: Oh and I thought you were a big brave Klingon.
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::settles down to wait for the computer to digest his request::
AMB_Krewls says:
::Enters a nearby turbolift:: Computer, Bridge.

ACTION - The computer displays a list of the cases. Many of the patients were treated with a modified form of glucose that kept them alive for several weeks. In all cases however the patient died...and there is only one survivor listed.

CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::yawns slightly before he can hide it and wishes he had a chair to sit on::
CEO_LtJG_Leasha says:
@CSO/CTO: So where we off to then
ACIV_Dr_Armistead says:
@::Gets up to stretch before sitting down again::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::raises an eyebrow at the results:: Computer: Replicate the modified glucose, and display details of the sole survivor's treatment.
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::blinks he looks down at his mission order and scowls. Logging off he turned and walked into the TL:: TL: TIC. Stupid orders, now I have to walk places...
EO_PO_Pandora says:
::Takes a look around the bridge::
CO_Capt_Black says:
::smiles at Harmony::  Harm: It's excellent...thanks..  ::glances at the cookies then back at Harmony::  what are your plans for today ?

ACTION - On the world of Krios, the colony known as Kamazha appears almost completely abandoned. A few government officials wander on their way to work, but a colony that seems suited for thousands of Kriosians, appears almost completely empty.

CTO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
@*FCO*:  well...well...everything is good, Maor is I...in a meeting ::can barely talk::
ACIV_Dr_Armistead says:
@::Checks the chronometer to see if the Starfleet Away Team is meant to be here yet::
Harmony says:
CO:  Nothing much.  I thought I might work on a painting.  And if possible, get some holodeck time for us.
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::steps off the TL and up to the Holotable, scanning the surface of Krios around the position of the AT and displaying it:: Self: Looks cold..
CEO_LtJG_Leasha says:
@CTO: you know if you’re that cold we can find a rock to heat up. ::Looks around:: Hmmmm then again maybe not
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
::;Checks Communications:: *CTO*: Your breaking up anything wrong down there?
CTO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
@CEO/CSO: I may be a Klingon but I still hate the cold, it’s a genetic thing ::smiles::
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
@::Taps tricorder on the side again, swearing it's being affected by the cold, even though it's not supposed to be::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::injects himself with the modified glucose and has Kerak do the same:: Medic: Nurse, keep this treatment on file, but don't bring the Ambassador out of stasis yet. ::gives her the details of the modified glucose::
AMB_Krewls says:
::Arriving at the bridge, stands for a moment in the door, not stepping onto it.::
CTO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
@*FCO*: Sorry sir I... I’m just cold
CEO_LtJG_Leasha says:
@::rolls up laughing:: CTO: I think its safer I don’t answer that one

ACTION - The modified glucose is replicated in a small dish, and the computer displays the officer’s treatment. It appears the Captain Xenobia Royce; former CO of the U.S.S. Vesuvius was killed by the virus...but then revived by her CMO.

CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods and picks one of the cookies::  Harm: Sounds like a good idea...
CTO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
@CEO: Ok enough with the jokes, we got a mission to do
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::reads the information:: Computer: List detailed account of how the Vesuvius CMO revived the Captain.
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
*CTO*: understood, heat up a rock or something, Exeter out. ::looks around the bridge::
Harmony says:
CO:  Any particular place you would like to visit?
CEO_LtJG_Leasha says:
@CTO: lead on then Chief
CTO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
@Self: what is with people and rocks?

ACTION - The file Varesh requests comes up, however it appears blank.

Harmony says:
CO: Remember that holo-mystery we did... long ago it seems now?
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::frowns:: Computer: Is this the correct information? The file is incomplete.
ACIV_Dr_Armistead says:
@Computer: Correlate data on all survivors of this virus.
CTO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
@CSO/CEO: Lets go guys, were to meat the ACIV and then we will be on our way to the camp. ::leads the crew into a small building::
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::sets the TIC scanners to keep an active scan running and constantly update the Holo-imager. Watching the away team carefully, he opens a comm. channel to them:: *CTO*: Lt, this is Ensign Delar. I have you on sensors, and have been asked to monitor your progress. What is your status, please?

ACTION - The Kriosian computer begins to work, but unfortunately no survivors on the planet of Krios are listed, and the Krioisian government does not have access to Starfleet records.

CO_Capt_Black says:
::grins::  Harm: Indeed, a long time ago... you have something in mind then....?  ::looks straight in her eyes::
CEO_LtJG_Leasha says:
@::Follows the brave CTO off to where ever it is they are going chuckling watching him shiver::
ACIV_Dr_Armistead says:
@:: Falls asleep, the days without sleep have taken their toll::
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
@::Looks down at her chest, and scratches her head at the word "guys," but follows anyway::
CTO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
@*CIV*: Everything is good we’re just c…co...cold, keep an eye on us Ensign
Harmony says:
CO:  Well... do you remember that ancient book that we picked up?  I have always wondered what it was about...  ::Blushing slightly at his intense stare, looks down at her untouched juice::
CEO_LtJG_Leasha says:
@::Sees the CSO and smiles:; CSO: Well lets hope it was a figure of Speech
ACIV_Dr_Armistead says:
@::Snores in a ladylike way::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::sighs as the computer comes back with the same answer:: Computer: Where is the CMO of the Vesuvius at that time now stationed?
CJ-Tala says:
<Duty_OPS> FCO/*CIV*: Sirs...I'm picking up something on short-range scanners...
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
*CTO*: That’s what I’m here for. Keep me updated on your situation; I’ll leave the comm. channel open...
CTO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
@::enters the building and sees the ACIV standing by a computer:: ACIV: Greetings, I’m LtJG K`Nargh
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
OPS: put it on the Screen
CJ-Tala says:
<Computer> CMO: Lieutenant Lon Delar is currently listed as Killed In Action, on Stardate 10303.15 aboard the U.S.S. Paula Greene.
CTO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
@*CIV* Roger, will report in once we reach the camp
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
Computer: You have GOT to be kidding me!
AMB_Krewls says:
::As no one says anything, she steps further onto the bridge and makes her way around, as if she belonged.::
CO_Capt_Black says:
::grins::  Harm: That's one of the future parts of the holo novel we played...  give me a few days and I'll see if can retrieve it from the database...  ::smiles::
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::walks over to another console and brings up SRS:: *OPS*: What sort of something?
ACIV_Dr_Armistead says:
@:: Awakens startled:: CTO: Hello....  ::Walks of to greet Ambassador Cathan then looks nervous and walks back::

ACTION - The Duty Operations officer moves the viewscreen above the northern pole of Krios - it appears that a magnetic storm is brewing. While the away team won't be affected, chances of beaming the team out are nearly impossible.

Harmony says:
CO:  A few days huh?  Then I will chose something simple for later this evening.  My surprise.
EO_PO_Pandora says:
::Notices the Ambassador enter the bridge and nods at him/her:: AMB: Ambassador.
CJ-Tala says:
<Computer> CMO: Please restate request.
ACIV_Dr_Armistead says:
CTO: My apologies, I'm just a little tired.  How can I help?
AMB_Krewls says:
::Nods back at the EO::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
OPS: possible to beam something down?
CTO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
@ACIV: no problem, I was told that you would take myself and my crew to one of the scientific camps and maybe supply some sort of warm suits because we’re freezing ::grins::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
Computer: Never mind. Start simulations. Using the modified glucose as starting point, use all permutations of glucose to counteract the virus.
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::sighs as he picks up the magnetic storm:: *CTO*: There is a magnetic storm brewing in your location. It won’t affect you directly, but beaming you out of there is going to be nearly impossible. I’m sorry, Lt.
CJ-Tala says:
<Computer> CMO: Calculating.
CO_Capt_Black says:
::grins::  Harm: All Right, All Right...  ::takes a final sip from his tea then stands::  I'll promise to meet up with you as soon as my shift ends on the bridge...
EO_PO_Pandora says:
::Goes back to work, wondering what brings the Ambassador to the bridge::
CTO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
@*CIV*: what?! ::K`nargh yells:: what if something happens down here?
Harmony says:
::Stands up to join him::  CO:  Before you go, what is your favorite scene or scenery?
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::grumbles:: Self: If Lt. Delar wasn't dead already, I'd kill him myself. Not filling in medical records properly. I swear I'll bring him back to life so I can kill him all over again.
ACIV_Dr_Armistead says:
CTO: I am sure I help with both of those requests.  It's unusually cold at the moment.....  ::organizes coats::  CTO: Just who is on this away team with you Mr. K'Nargh?  ::Smiling sweetly, acid beneath::
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
*CTO*: I don’t know yet, Lt. We will have to wait and see in the event that something DOES happen. But you can handle yourselves for a while until this thing passes, I’m sure.
CTO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
::looks with a disappointed look on his face:: CEO/CSO: well, looks like were stuck here, we cant beam out since there is a magnetic storm somewhere north of here
CEO_LtJG_Leasha says:
@::hears K'nargh and giggles:: CTO: We freeze ??
AMB_Krewls says:
::Looks at the various instrumentation on the bridge, fascinated by at least how complicated it looked.::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
*CIV*: Is it possible to beam something down?
CTO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
@ACIV: Myself, Our CEO and CSO and our XO who is currently in a meeting
CTO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
@*CIV*: We will try ensign, thanks for telling us the situation
ACIV_Dr_Armistead says:
@CTO: I've been running scans of this area, trying to figure out where the increased heat is coming from.  It seems to be about 30 minutes from here, I could take you and your team.
CEO_LtJG_Leasha says:
@CTO: CSO: Now this is wear you need the Rommie Ale
CTO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
@CEO: very funny ::grins::
CO_Capt_Black says:
Harm: Mountain landscape... something is both quiet and beautiful...  ::smiles::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::calms himself a bit:: *CO*: Varesh to Black. A moment of your time please, Captain.
CJ-Tala says:
<AMB_Cathan> ::Walks onto the bridge and notices Ambassador Krewls, his Kriosian opponent. His stare is cold and he looks over to the man in the center chair, moving over towards him:: FCO: Lieutenant Exeter...I need a moment of your time when you are free...
CTO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
@:ACIV: is there a camp out there?
CEO_LtJG_Leasha says:
@CTO: hey you know me always here to amuse
EO_PO_Pandora says:
::Steps away from his console and walks over to another, double-checking some information::
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
@::Looks back at the CEO::  CEO: I don't drink much.  And alcohol is a depressant... you don't feel cold because your body stops telling you it's cold
Harmony says:
CO:  Got it.  ::Steps close to him and reaches her arms up to hug him::
CTO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
@CEO/CSO: ale would be good now ::grins:: but re-check your gear as we are going to be leaving soon
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::waits for the Captain to answer, watching the computer working on a solution::
CEO_LtJG_Leasha says:
@CSO: Well I think that’s a good start
ACIV_Dr_Armistead says:
@CTO: It’s a fairly isolated area.  Just wilderness really....
CO_Capt_Black says:
::hugs Harm followed by a small kiss, then taps his commbadge::  *CMO*: Black here, go ahead Doctor...
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
*FCO*: I highly doubt it, Lt. But I think it would be safe to pilot a shuttle down and back up
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
Cathan: At the moment I’m very occupied, Your Excellency
Harmony says:
::Steps away with a shake of her head... crew always had such good timing... Not::
CTO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
@ACIV: hmmm, I got told we would be heading to a scientific camp....but were here to investigate so I guess we should head out to where the source appears to be coming from
CEO_LtJG_Leasha says:
@CTO: if we must
AMB_Krewls says:
EO:  Do you enjoy your work?
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
*CIV*L: who's the best pilot we got, beside me?
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
*CO*: Sorry to interrupt, Captain, but I might have a solution to the virus. Unfortunately I have to hunt for it because the only person who knew what it was is dead, without recording it.

ACTION - The computer next to Varesh beeps and a second dish is replicated. The glucose compound that is replicated has an odd yellow tinge to it, but the computer claims that it will be effective.

CTO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
@*CIV* We are about to be heading out, in case of any trouble please do the best you can to get us out
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::chuckles:: *FCO*: That would be your area of expertise, Lt. You are after all the FCO.
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::raises an eyebrow at the dish with the glucose:: Computer: If you claim it is the right thing, I'll believe you. But if it doesn't work, you're heading for the scrap heap.
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
*CTO*: We are sending a shuttle down to your location, Lt. Just in case you need a lift if things get hairy. Are there any supplies you need?
CTO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
@::rechecks his gear, puts on the warm coat and starts to feel a little warmer, to the point where he can talk with stuttering::
CEO_LtJG_Leasha says:
@CTO: How many times are we suppose to be heading out and never do ::grins::
CO_Capt_Black says:
*CMO*: Acknowledged, Doctor... anything we can do to help you in that search?
CJ-Tala says:
<Cathan> ::He nods silently and looks over at Krewls speaking to the Engineer - hate burning in his eyes::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
*CIV*: Like I check on my shuttle pilots lately, send down a runabout and pray that the duty pilot is good enough.
ACIV_Dr_Armistead says:
@CTO: Good.  This way.  ::Leads the AT to the stables at the back:: CTO: I'm afraid that with the cold our faster vehicles won't start.  We'll have to get Rudolph and his team to take us. ::Indicates a team of reindeer and a sleigh::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
*CO*: Apparently the computer has found the cure, Captain. I'm going to test it on the Ambassador and myself. I'll keep you informed.
CTO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
@*CIV* some ale would be nice ::laughs:: but other then that were fine
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
*FCO*: Acknowledged, Lt. Delar out. ::cuts the comm. and orders the duty pilot to take a runabout down to the Away Team's position::
CEO_LtJG_Leasha says:
@::laughs at the ACIV Comment but bites back a reply::
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
@Self: A sleigh?  ::Packs up her few items and follows the away team::
EO_PO_Pandora says:
::Notices a minor power fluctuation in the secondary back-up systems::
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
*CTO*: You can have that ale when you get back. But for now, all I can get you is a Runabout.
CO_Capt_Black says:
*CMO*: Understood, Black out...
CTO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
@ACIV: are you kidding me? What is wrong with this place ::laughs:: I just want to head out as soon as possible
ACIV_Dr_Armistead says:
@::Disgusted expression:: CTO: I do not approve of alcohol.  In any way, shape or form.  It in inhibits the mind.  Are you ready?
EO_PO_Pandora says:
::Tries to adjust the power flow to these sub systems::
Harmony says:
CO:  Duty calls...
CTO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
@*CIV*Aye, sounds good, K`Nargh over and out, but keep the comm. link open
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::suppresses a small smile at the Captain's sign off:: Self: It makes me think of a power failure every time.
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
Cathan: Okay, what can I do for you, Ambassador?
CO_Capt_Black says:
::smiles at Harmony::  Harm: I need to go....  I'll see you tonight...  ::heads out of Harm's quarters::
CTO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
@ACIV: We are ready, and no alcohol is coming so you don’t have to worry
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::nods and watches the Holotable closely:: *CTO*: Acknowledged.
Harmony says:
::Watching him goes, heads for her painting gear and double-checks the time she reserved of the holosuite::
CJ-Tala says:
<Cathan> FCO: Mr. Exeter...I heard that you will be sending a runabout to the surface. I have recently been called to a meeting down on the planet, and I was wondering if I could...well, catch a ride?
ACIV_Dr_Armistead says:
@CTO: Excellent.  ::Gets into the drivers position and moves out::
AMB_Krewls says:
::Speaks a little louder incase the man is slightly deaf::  EO:  Do you enjoy your work?
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::takes the little dish and looks at it again:: Self: Born up a tree and all that. ::grimaces at the sight of the stuff, and closes his eyes::
CO_Capt_Black says:
::enters the nearest TL::  TL: Bridge
CEO_LtJG_Leasha says:
@::Is with the CTO and CSO enjoying the View::
EO_PO_Pandora says:
::Hears someone talk and sees it's the ambassador again:: AMB: OH, yes, I'm sorry. I love my job. It's just that I'm a bit busy at the moment.
CTO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
@::is feeling nice and warm now:: Self: Ah this is better, no more shivering ::smiles::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::empties the dish into his mouth and swallows::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
Cathan: well, I can't permit that, sir, we can't insure your safety down there and we rather don't have you either freezing or be killed by that virus, sir
AMB_Krewls says:
EO:  Doing what?
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
Computer: My personal blend of fruit juice! NOW! ::grimaces again:: This stuff is vile!
EO_PO_Pandora says:
AMB: Rerouting power. I'm having a little power in the backup grid. Nothing that should raise any concerns.
Harmony says:
::With supplies in hand, heads for the assigned holosuite.  There were some advantages to being a guest.::
EO_PO_Pandora says:
::Taps a few buttons, pinpointing the location closer::

ACTION - Time to warp 30 minutes into the future. The away team has nearly arrived at their destination - very cold, and very wet due to all of the cursed snow. The Valtese Ambassador, Cathan has tried again and again to go down to the surface of Krios, and Varesh's tests have begun to show some results - let us just hope thy are good ones...

ACIV_Dr_Armistead says:
@::Steps out of the sleigh, the snow has waken her up some:: CTO: This is it.....
CTO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
@::looks around:: CSO/CEO: I have never seen this much snow in my life and its so wet, must be a horrible place to live in
CO_Capt_Black says:
::on the bridge of the Scimitar, sitting in the center chair, glancing at the crew operations::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
Computer: Scan for any viral traces in the Klingon Ambassador and myself.
CEO_LtJG_Leasha says:
@::Steps out and bundles some snow together making a ball and throws it at the CTO::
ACIV_Dr_Armistead says:
@::Blanches:: CTO: This was once a sacred site....
CTO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
@ACIV:: Thanks for the lift ::smiles::

ACTION - The snowball flies through the air, and lands next to K'Nargh, missing him barely.

CJ-Tala says:
<Computer> CMO: Viral traces down 5% from last scan.
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
@::Has been watching the ACIV for the past half hour, trying to place him::  ACIV: Excuse me, have we met before?
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::opens a comm. channel to the Runabout on the surface:: *FCO_Generic*: Ensign, keep an eye on the Away Team. I want you there ASAP if they get into trouble...
CEO_LtJG_Leasha says:
@::sighs at the CTO:: CTO: Hey that’s unfair your bigger than me

ACTION - The Runabout from the U.S.S. Scimitar lands at Kamazha, and reports their safe arrival.

FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
::behind his console, very annoyed  with the Valtese Ambassador::
ACIV_Dr_Armistead says:
::absolutely aghast::  ALL: This is a site sacred to my people.  Behave yourselves as you would in a place of worship!
Harmony says:
::A scene from her island home, deep into the mountains, near one of the many waterfalls, she sits quietly, her brush in hand, her paints scattered around her and a canvas before her.::
CTO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
@ACIV: Well, it’s not much anymore but just melting snow, was here for a mission to figure out why; do you have any info for us?
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
*CO*: Varesh to Black. Captain... I have what looks like good news. The viral infection is down and keeps coming down after each scan. I'm feeling better and the Ambassador is coming to. I'll treat Ens. Kerak now.
EO_PO_Pandora says:
::Checks the power grid and still sees the minor fluctuation:: CO: Sir, I'm going down to... ::check his console:: Deck 6 section 12, to repair a problem in the backup power grid.
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
*FCO*: The Runabout has landed, Lt. I have the pilot keeping an eye on the away team. We will be able to get them out of there if there is trouble
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
*CIV*: Good, BTW, if the Valtese ambassador gets to you asking to be send down the answer is no!
CO_Capt_Black says:
::smiles::  *CMO*: Excellent work Doctor... we'll await your final results..
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::chuckles:: *FCO*: Got it, Lt. No Ambassadors on the surface. Delar out. ::turns back to the Holotable and peers closely at the AT and now the Runabout::
CO_Capt_Black says:
FCO: Lieutenant, signal the runabout to transfer their position coordinates to the away team so they know where it is located...
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
Computer: Record the variant of glucose as treatment for this particular virus, and send the composition to Dr. Mihalitsianos on Krios Prime, with the results of the tests so far.
CJ-Tala says:
<Cathan> ::Looks over towards Exeter in annoyance and turns to Black:: CO: Captain Black, I must insist that you allow me to beam down to the surface. I have an important meeting to attend, and I am sure the Kriosians can provide sufficient protection for my diplomatic team and I...
ACIV_Dr_Armistead says:
@:: Looks the CSO up and down, still a little angry:: CSO: I don't believe so, no.
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
*CO*: I'm also waiting for the final results. Varesh out.
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
::opens the Comm. ands sends the runabouts coordinates to the away team::
CJ-Tala says:
<Computer> CMO: Transmitting.
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
@::Grimaces at the ACIV, knowing where his anger is being directed::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
Computer: When the tests are concluded, send the results to Starfleet Medical.
CTO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
@::asks again:: ACIV: Is there any info we need to know before we start examining this area?
CO_Capt_Black says:
EO: Understood, Chief...
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::yawns fully this time and blinks sleepily before shaking his head in a lame attempt to revive himself:: Self: Stupid humanoid body
EO_PO_Pandora says:
::Walks to the TL:: TL: Deck 6.
AMB_Krewls says:
::Eyes Cathan::  CO:  Captain, we really need to get these talks over with.  When can I meet with you... I have been waiting days now.
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::ponders knocking Kerak unconscious before administering the treatment.:: Self: Somehow I feel he'll oppose me out of principal.
CO_Capt_Black says:
::glances over at Cathan::  Cathan: Ambassador, we have peace talks here as well as some situations that we need to resolve quickly and in a efficient manner, therefore it would be illogical for me to let you beam down to the surface without protection and without certain items being unresolved..
ACIV_Dr_Armistead says:
CTO: As I have said, repeatedly, it used to be a sacred sight. About 2 years ago my team and I detected an increase in thermal radiation from this location. I haven't been able to pinpoint it exactly. I can't keep teams out here too long - it's too cold.
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
*CO*: Varesh to Black.
CJ-Tala says:
<Cathan> CO: Understood, then can I be permitted a private meeting room, and a communications line to the surface?
CTO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
@ACIV: Understood, my crew and I will take a look around and see if we can find anything
CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods at Krewls::  Krewls: I concur, Ambassador, as soon as our doctor has treated the virus we will immediately continue...
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
@ACIV: What kind of increase are we looking at?
CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods at Cathan::  Cathan: Of course...  Mr. Exeter will see to that...  ::gestures towards the FCO and gives him a firm nod::
ACIV_Dr_Armistead says:
@CSO: about 20 Kelvin.   Which is a large increase.
CO_Capt_Black says:
*CMO*: Black here...
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
*CO*: Captain, we need to scan the entire crew again, and the away team on the surface for infection. If there are any infected they need to be treated as soon as possible before the infection spreads.
AMB_Krewls says:
::Ready to argue the time, but waits to see what the doctor has to say::
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
@ACIV: What area is this rise confined to, or is it not?  It is evenly distributed, or is that an average of various locations?
CO_Capt_Black says:
*CMO*: Understood...  I will see to it immediately...
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
*CO*: Thank you Captain. Varesh out.
CO_Capt_Black says:
*CIV*: Black to Delar...
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
*CO*: Delar here, Captain
ACIV_Dr_Armistead says:
@CSO: That’s an average over a 500 meter radius... your name is?
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
Computer: Scan everybody in sickbay for the viral infection and report the results to me.
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
@ACIV: Sorry, Lieutenant Marla Enki.  ::Holds out her hand::  How has this increase spread, temporally?
CO_Capt_Black says:
*CIV*: Mr. Delar, I need a scan of the entire crew ASAP... check for any infections of the virus that has contaminated one of the ambassadors and Doctor Varesh...
Harmony says:
::Unconsciously she begins to hum one of the Elven song spells as she dreams herself back home, the picture slowly taking form::

ACTION - A pair of officers rush into sickbay, a female Trill woman carrying her male superior, one of the Engineers from the flight deck. The man is convulsing and gagging on his own tongue.

ACIV_Dr_Armistead says:
@::Takes the preferred hand while thinking::
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::nods to himself and moves to the Internal Sensor console, logging in and activating a viral check:: *CO*: It will take a few moments, Captain. Scanning now.
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::locks the medical information into the sensors and begins the scan on the entire crew::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
Computer: Replicate more of the modified glucose. Medics: Give that man the glucose and make sure he doesn't choke on his own tongue!
CO_Capt_Black says:
*CIV*: Understood, after you have scanned the crew, be sure to scan the AT as well...
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
*CO*: Aye, Captain. I'll get right on it
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::adds the AT and the Runabout pilot to the scanner list::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::taps in a complicated security code and opens the door to his 'cell', rushing over to assist the medics in the man's treatment::
AMB_Krewls says:
::Takes a seat in the back of the room, her fingers tapping in impatience::
ACIV_Dr_Armistead says:
@CSO: Over the last two years mostly.  But also the 8 years before that.  It seems to be speeding up.
CJ-Tala says:
<Cathan> ::Moves over and sits next to Krewls:: Krewls: You'd think we'd be done these talks by now...10 years, and you haven't budged one bit...
EO_PO_Pandora says:
::Exits the TL on Deck 6 and makes his way to section 12::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::grabs a hold of the convulsing officer's tongue and dumps the dish of glucose down his throat::
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
@ACIV: Can you think of any environmental, social, or political changes that would coincide with these temperature changes?
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::stifles a yawn and opens a comm. to the CO again:: *CO*: Captain, the crew is clear other than the 3 we already know about. The viral infection is nowhere else to be seen
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
::makes room free for the Valtese Ambassador
Harmony says:
::As she sings, the colors seem to coalesce to richer deeper Hughes::
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
@::As she talks, she looks around to see where the CTO and CEO wandered off to::
ACIV_Dr_Armistead says:
@CSO: None that I can think of.  ::Moves to a point in the snow, like every other point in the snow::  CSO: It seems to have been right here.
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::scans the engineer just in case:: Self: At least its glucose.
AMB_Krewls says:
Cathan:  In ten years, I have not heard what I want to hear either.  You are always taking advantage of my people.  Enough is enough.
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
@::Begins digging in her bag for a marker::  ACIV: Is it appropriate to mark this spot, or would that violate the site?
CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods::  *CIV*: Excellent.... and the away team ?
ACIV_Dr_Armistead says:
@CSO: The only major change in the last ten years has been in diplomatic ties between Valt Minor and Krios Prime.
CJ-Tala says:
<Cathan> Krewls: This treaty will help your people...you just have to let it pass...
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
@ACIV: Explain, please.
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
*CO*: All clear too, including the Runabout Pilot.
ACIV_Dr_Armistead says:
@CSO: Mark away....  If this is the epicenter of the virus...  Well, I can't think of anything less sacred can you?
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::logs off the Internal Sensor console and moves back to the Holotable to check on the AT::
CO_Capt_Black says:
*CIV*: Understood...
CO_Capt_Black says:
*CMO*: Black to Varesh
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
*CO*: Varesh here.
EO_PO_Pandora says:
::Arrives at the section and opens a hatch::
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
@::Pulls a marker from her bag - a flag with an electronic beacon attached, and buries the beacon just under the ground as best as she can with the frozen soil.  Her tricorder confirms that it can read the marker::
AMB_Krewls says:
Cathan:  No treaty has ever helped my people.  We have been used till there is nothing left for ourselves, let alone for outsiders. How will that help us?
CO_Capt_Black says:
*CMO*: Good news, Doctor, no one except the ones we know about are infected with the virus....

ACTION - As Enki disturbs the snow and pushes the marker down, she hears a crumbling sound beneath her. Without any warning, the space below her collapses and she falls down several feet into an underground cavern.

EO_PO_Pandora says:
::Crouches into the tube and makes his way to the maintenance area on the other side of the tube::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
*CO*: That would include the one that just now almost choked on his own tongue. Did you have the away team scanned as well?
Harmony says:
::Soon the macro portions of the picture are finished and she begins the details that will make it her special place.::
ACIV_Dr_Armistead says:
@Self:  Odd...  that shouldn't be there... CSO: You alive down there?

ACTION - Light shines thought the small hole that Enki fell through, and illuminates the small cavern.

CSO_Lt_Enki says:
@::Falls through this unknown hole, and lands mostly on all fours::  Self: Now where did this come from...  ACIV: Yes, I believe I am undamaged.
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::watches in slight horror as the Holotable updates with a new hole and one of the AT several feet under the ground:: *CSO*: Is everything OK down there, what happened?
CJ-Tala says:
<Cathan> Krewls: It will stabilize your economy, allow you to become independent. Isn't that what you want, old woman?
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
*CIV*: Mr. Delar, can you focus the lateral sensors on this location, and try to map out any caverns?
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
*CO*: By the way, Captain... I've noticed a trend. Only males seem to get infected by this virus, well the female incidents are miniscule.
EO_PO_Pandora says:
::Arrives at the maintenance bay and walks to one of the consoles::
CO_Capt_Black says:
*CMO*: Acknowledged.... and the away team is clear as well....
AMB_Krewls says:
Cathan:  I want my people to chose their pathway, not have it chosen for them.  And if they chose wrong, it was their choice.
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
*CO*: Understood Captain. Varesh out.
ACIV_Dr_Armistead says:
@CSO: I was not aware of any caverns in this area ::raised voice::
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::zooms in on the AT's location and the cavern in particular, mapping out the caverns:: *CSO*: I'm sending the results to your Tricorder. ::uploads the scans to the CSO's tricorder::
CO_Capt_Black says:
*CMO*: Doctor, not so fast...::grins::   when can you have the Ambassador back on his feet to resume the peace talks ?
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
*CO*: As soon as the virus is out of his system, sir. A few more hours should do it.
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
@::Digs through her bag, realizing she didn't think about bringing any sort of lamp, so she just squints::  ACIV: Well, we are now.  I think that these caverns deserve exploration.
Harmony says:
::Her eyes turn inward in memory, away from the holo depiction as she continues to paint, emotions added into the song.::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::collates the data and sends it down to the away team:: *CSO*: Varesh to Enki. Marla, I'm sending you the data on the virus and treatment options as well.
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
*CSO*: Those caverns look pretty big...do you want me to send the Runabout to your position to get you out?
ACIV_Dr_Armistead says:
@CSO: I agree.  Move out the way....  ::Maneuvers around the hole in the Very Sacred Site::
ACIV_Dr_Armistead says:
@::Jumps into the hole::
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
*CIV*: I think we need to send teams through the caves to search them.  Did you pick up any energy signatures or life signs below the surface here?
EO_PO_Pandora says:
::Opens the conduit and takes out his tricorder, scanning the inner area::
CO_Capt_Black says:
Krewls/Cathan: Ambassadors, you hear our doctor, we will resume the talks in 24 hours from now... that should buy us enough time to get all parties around the table again...
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
::mutters a bit to loud:: Self: Space, vast and black  where absolutely nothing happens when you want it.
CO_Capt_Black says:
*CMO*: Acknowledged, good job Doctor...
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
*CSO*: None, other than your team.
ACIV_Dr_Armistead says:
@CSO: Well, here we are...

ACTION - Pandora's tricorder beeps once, it has detected something.

AMB_Krewls says:
CO: I would rather speak with you alone... however...  ::shrugs her ancient shoulders::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
*CO*: Thank you, sir. I'm sending the data to Starfleet Medical so it is on record for future reference, sir.
EO_PO_Pandora says:
::Gets some readings on his tricorder:: Self: That's weird.
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::Taps in several commands and sends the data of the virus and the treatment to Starfleet Medical.::
Harmony says:
::At each brush stroke, the painting itself seems more reality then her surroundings::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
::mutters :: Self: Wish these Kriosians had some Rebel forces or something to put my teeth in.

ACTION - As Pandora checks the conduit; he discovers an odd alien device attached to the power feed. Odd indeed. On the surface of Krios, the away team moves into the underground caverns to begin their investigation, and in sickbay the Klingon Chul'kuh awakes, very disoriented, and pissed off. Finally, Harmony continues to work and begins to fade out of reality, being pulled into her dream world.
