SUMMARY:

Five minutes have passed since the Doctor successfully managed to separate the CEO from the OPS officer and the unknown DNA trace which brought them together, however after further tests it appears that Mr Idrani still has a little of the foreign DNA in his blood.

While all this has been happening, the XO has detected some trace Tachyon emissions which could indicate that the small ship which attacked the Scimitar was not alone. 

The question is… What will he do with this information?

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Begin Mission: “And you are?”(Part IV) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CNS_Ens_Numark says:
::In sickbay looking shocked::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::gets up from the bio bed and walks to the blood on the floor::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::sat in the big chair again trying to confirm the readings he just picked up:: CSO: Did you see that?
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
::attends to Mr Rome lying unconscious on the bio bed and runs some scans::
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
Self: These scans look fine, but I must keep an eye on him for any signs of deterioration.
 
ACTION: The XO's chair console blinks again as the tactical sensors pick up another trace of Tachyons

CNS_Ens_Numark says:
::walks over to Mr Idrani::
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
::On the bridge, looking at the transporter logs, trying to find out if things went well:: *CMO*: Doc, how are the patients doing?
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
OPS: Mr Idrani sir, how do you feel?
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CNS: Strange
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
<DOPS_Zen> ::boosts power to the sensor array::
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
OPS: That’s understandable, I'll just scan you to see if you are actually yourself ok?
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CNS: Please do. I don't feel so great.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
<DOPS_Zen> XO: Power to the sensor array has been increased sir
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
:: Runs the tricorder over Mr Idrani::
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
::Looks up as he hears the XO, then looks at the sensors:: XO: Must've missed it sir, I’ll see if it happens again
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
<DOPS_Zen> ::begins a diagnostic on the sensor array::

ACTION: The CNS's scan shows that OPS still has a 4% solution of foreign DNA in his blood.

CNS_Ens_Numark says:
Self: Hmmmm. OPS: This may be nothing but it looks like you still have 4% foreign DNA in your blood.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CSO: It would appear that we are not exactly alone out here.

ACTION: The CSO's console blips a quick sensor reading which is quickly gone again.

OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CNS: And Lt Rome? Is he Okay?
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
::notices the blip:: XO: I saw it sir. You're right. Although that would seem logical wouldn't it? I'm not sure if this blip is another small vessel again or a bigger mother ship
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
<DOPS_Zen> ::waits for the diagnostic to finish and the computer to display the results::
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
OPS: Mr Rome seems fine, there doesn't seem to be any foreign DNA in his blood, I'm sorry it looks like you took the brunt of the inhabitance.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CSO: Take us back to Yellow alert, raise shields and have weapons on hot standby.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CNS: Apparently, yes. As long as he is back to normal...
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
OPS: And the best thing is you still have your antennae, so there is no reason for you to feel humiliated anymore. ::smiles::
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
XO: Aye sir, trying to determine the signature of this contact. ::brings the weapons online and raises the shields as he hits the button for yellow alert. He then focuses on the sensors to see if he can find evidence that the blip is getting closer. They don't want the same problem they just had with the last vessel::

ACTION: Another blip on sensors... it appears to be approaching the Scimitar in a kind of zigzag pattern.

OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::manages a smile and looks up at his antennae:: CNS: You are correct. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. you were and still are very comforting
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
OPS: No problem, you’re most welcome.
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
::Sees another blip:: XO: Sir, we have a contact approaching. Permission to fire a low energy beam? I don't want to destroy it, just incapacitate it
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
<DOPS_Zen> XO: I've managed to divert more power to the sensor array. I don't think I can boost it any more.
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
::scans Mr Rome’s body once more to check his stats::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CSO: Denied, if it's coming for us we need it to think we don't know it's there... Charge forward phaser arrays and mask their energy signatures.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::walks to Rome:: CNS: Can I assist?
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
::nods and executes the XO's orders:: XO: Aye sir, although I’m not sure if they're really that dumb

ACTION: The CNS's Scans show that the CEO is stable but unconscious.

CNS_Ens_Numark says:
SELF: All seems fine here. Stable but unconscious.
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
OPS: I'm ok, but thank you for asking, we really need to get you feeling back to your old self. Tell me how do you feel, not queasy or anything?
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CSO: They were dumb enough to think they could attack a federation heavy cruiser with a shuttle... boost power to the targeting scanners and increase resolution to maximum, we don't want to miss.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CNS: I don't feel quite right...but I can't pinpoint exactly what it is. perhaps I could return to the bridge until the doctor finds a cure?
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
XO: If you say so sir. ::Boosts power to the targeting sensors and keeps a close eye on the approaching vessel::
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
OPS: I don't quite know if I can actually allow you to go back to your duties just yet, at least not until the doctor says your fit for normal duties. I'm sorry.

ACTION: Another blip on sensors shows that the approaching signature seems to have stopped not far in front of the Scimitar.

OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CNS: I just feel a bit useless sitting around.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
<DOPS_Zen> ::wonders if the sensor diagnostic will ever end::
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
OPS: I know but maybe you could finish telling me what it's like on Andoria while I see to Mr Rome.
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
XO: The vessel stopped. It's in front of us, not too far away
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CSO: Put its location on screen.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CNS: I will show you in the holodeck one time if you wish
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
::nods, and shows the forward situation on the view screen, with a small frame in the top left corner showing the tactical situation::
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
OPS: That would be nice.  :: checks on Mr Rome once more::

ACTION: The view screen displays a mass of stars on the black backdrop of deep space. Some of them in the middle of the screen seem to be shimmering more than others.

OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
<DOPS_Zen> XO: Do you see that? ::motions to the view screen::
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
::notices the shimmering and tries to zoom in a bit:: XO: Zooming in
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CSO: Increase resolution.
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
*XO*: Numark to the XO come in please.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::hears his Com badge bleep and points to the screen:: CSO: Clear that up. ::taps his badge:: *CNS*: Go ahead Ensign.
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
XO: Aye sir ::Increases the resolution and tries to get a better image:: *SO_Banner*: Pierce here, Mr Banner, can you give me a hand with getting a better picture on the view screen?

ACTION: A silhouette appears to be forming on the view screen due to the distortion caused by the cloaking device.

CNS_Ens_Numark says:
*XO*: Just thought you would like an update sir, the OPS officer seems fine, he still has 4% foreign DNA in his blood, The CEO is still unconscious but his stats seem fine almost normal, it looks like Mr Idrani took the brunt of the inhabitance.
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
<SO_Banner>CSO: Aye sir, I’ll try
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
*CNS*: Acknowledged Ensign, where is Commander Abmeraz?
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
*XO*: Sir the doctor is in his office just going over some test results.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
*CNS*: Good, Keep at it and give me updates every hour, Bridge out.
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
OPS: I've been thinking, is it in your head where you feel strange, or is it elsewhere?

ACTION: The Silhouette appears to be that of an old Yeager class Star ship.

CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
*SO_Banner*: Thank you, that seems to be working XO: Sir, it seems there is definitely a cloaked ship there. What action should we take?
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CNS: In my head I’m fine. for once
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CSO: Stand ready but don't make any show of force... you recognise that design?
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
OPS: It could be that you no longer have Mr Rome's voice running around in your head anymore.
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
XO: Comparing with the database now sir... It seems to be a Yeager class... 330 meters in length. ::Puts the specs in a small frame on the top right::
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
OPS: As well as being passed back through the pattern buffers it could make you feel strange.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CNS: I don't, you are right
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CSO: Since when was the Yeager equipped with a cloaking device?
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
XO: It's a bit like the Intrepid class, though a bit older. And it never was equipped with a cloaking device... at least not while it was in Starfleet use
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Gets up from his chair and walks out of his office, into sickbay... stretching his arms and legs.:: All: Phew, that is done.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CSO: So what you're basically telling me is that the ship was stolen from the federation and the cloaking device was fitted afterwards?
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
OPS: Just an idea, why don't you try and get some sleep, and hopefully by the time you've woken up we'll have come up with a way to get rid of this foreign DNA.
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
:: checks Mr Rome’s vital signs again just to be safe::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Walks over to the counsellor.:: CNS: Well, what have you been up to?
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CNS: I'll sit down and rest, but I’m not sure about sleeping. ::sits on the bio bed::

ACTION: The CEO's vitals are unchanged from the last scan.

CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
XO: That's exactly what I’m thinking sir. I'm scanning the database for missing ships of that type, although I would like to know where they got the cloaking device from ::initiates a search for any missing vessels of the Yeager class::

ACTION: The blip seems to get slightly brighter on sensors.

CNS_Ens_Numark says:
CMO: Well, Mr Idrani seems fine just not quite himself, and Mr Rome’s vitals all seem fine but he's just unconscious.
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
OPS: Ok. ::hands him a drink of water::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::nods:: CSO: You do that... I'd love to know how anyone managed to steal a Star ship.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::takes the water graciously:: CNS: Thank you. I didn’t realise how thirsty I was
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Grabs his own tricorder, walks over to the CEO and checks him over.:: CNS: Indeed... well, just let him rest for now. Have you informed the XO about the status of both the OPS and CEO? He would've liked them both to be ready and on the bridge ASAP.
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
CMO: I have indeed informed the XO, he would like an update every hour, Mr Idrani would also like to go about his normal duties, but I told him that you needed to clear him fit for duties.

ACTION: The CSO's search hits on a Yeager class ship which was scheduled for destruction after having been de-commissioned, the vessel was reportedly found and destroyed.

CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Nods and walks over to the OPS accompanied by the CNS.:: OPS: Hello lieutenant, how are we feeling at the moment?
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
XO: Sir, I have found 1 Yeager class ship that was supposed to be decommissioned. Seems Starfleet isn't as precise with its old material as it is with its active ships
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CMO: Like getting back to duty, Sir. I'm not quite feeling myself, but not bad enough not to be on duty.
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
OPS: Not quite feeling yourself... would you care to elaborate on that please? ::While waiting for the answer he scans the OPS.::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CSO: Why doesn't that surprise me, it's amazing how many ships go missing from the yards. I want a full schematic of the Yeager class, search for weak points first, we don't know how the weapons and shields have been modified.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CMO: Well the Counsellor says I still have some DNA inside me that shouldn’t be there... that could explain it. I just don’t feel like me.

ACTION: The silhouette looms almost menacingly on the screen.

CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
XO: The schematics as they are in our database are at your disposal sir ::makes the frame on the top right a bit bigger and sends the info to the chair console::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::turns to face the counsellor:: CNS: Have we not yet been able to clear that from him?
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
CMO: I also suggested that it could be by being sent through the pattern buffers.
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
CMO: Well, I didn't want to go experimenting on him, we could end up back where we started.
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::chuckles:: CNS: Not quite, since we only have one specimen at this moment... he could loose one of his antennae perhaps.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::looks seriously at the CMO:: CMO: Not amusing!
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
CMO: Not a good idea then.
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
::hides a smile::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::looks over the schematics and wonders::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CMO: Until you find something, is there any chance I could get back to the bridge Doctor?
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::shakes his head:: OPS/CNS: Thought so... well... according to my scan, it will not do any serious alterations if we try filtering it out with pattern buffers... ::Turns to face the OPS now.:: OPS: Not so fast. I would like your own approval to try and filter this last bit of DNA from you.
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
::check on Mr Rome once more, notices there's no change::
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
::Searches the database to see if there is a report of missing cloaking technology::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CMO: You don’t need to ask! Please, by all means necessary, get this filth out of me!

ACTION: The Yeager class ship suddenly decloaks and the CSO's console lights up showing an impressive array of modified weapons, all charged and all pointed at the Scimitar.

CNS_Ens_Numark says:
CMO: No change with the CEO.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
Self: Bl... ::shouts:: CSO: Red alert!
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
<DOPS_Zen> XO: Diverting more power to defence systems!
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::nods to the counsellor.:: CNS: Alright., let him be for the moment. There is little we can do for him anyway. I could use a hand with the OPS though.
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
XO: Sir, we have a slight problem ::Hits the red alert button, and puts all extra power to the forward shields::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::sees red alert sound:: CMO: Although, perhaps it could wait...I should get to the bridge
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
CMO: Ok sir. ::walks towards the CMO::

ACTION: The Yeager seems to hesitate for a moment.

CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
XO: Permission to fire?
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
OPS: Mr Idrani please, let us get this foreign DNA extracted from you then you can possibly go about your normal duties, we don't want you passing out or anything else happening to you while on the bridge.
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Points to a console:: CNS: From there you can monitor the OPS and the strange DNA, please tell me if anything is out of the ordinary. ::Then turns and nods at the OPS:: Computer: Computer, dematerialise the OPS and filter his DNA through the buffer pattern. ::Signals the CNS to get ready until the acknowledgement is heart.::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
:;starts to answer the CNS and dematerializes::
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
:;watches the console:: CMO: Ready sir.

ACTION: The CSO's console flashes an incoming hail.

<Computer> CMO: Processing.

CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
::Looks at his console as he hears a chirp, and answers the incoming hail:: XO: Incoming hail, putting it on screen
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Taps his fingers on the bio bed.:: CNS: When the CEO gets back on his feet, I'll have him reconfigure sickbay before anything else.
Host Tung`tse says:
@COM: Scimitar: Federation vessel, Stand down your shields and prepare to be boarded.
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
::waits for the OPS Officer to come back:;
CSO_Lt_Pierce says:
::His finger hovering over the button for releasing the torpedoes and phasers he looks at the XO and nods::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
<DOPS_Zen> XO: Slaving Helm to OPS Sir, with your permission
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
COM: Yeager: This is the federation heavy cruiser USS Scimitar, Identify yourself.
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
CMO: Any chance of getting a whole new sickbay?

ACTION: Lt Idrani reappears on a bio bed with another, slightly smaller puddle of blood next to him. Meanwhile on the bridge the commander of the Yeager class vessel repeats his demand for the Scimitar to stand down and prepare to be boarded.
