SUMMARY:  The repairs to the Luna have been completed along with the exchange of personnel and she has departed Avalon station and is now enroute back to Starbase 917.  All ships systems are to be tested along the way.
Arriving at a small asteroid field the Luna began testing the weapons systems.  While this was happening begins began to appear on the ship.  The first was on the bridge at flight control which was just abandoned by its pilot.
The ghostly figure seemly operated the console while ignoring all attempts the crew made to communicate with it.  The next figures appeared in sickbay where Dr Lynch tried communicating also.
.  The last figure appeared in the Capt's Ready Room pretty much gesturing for Capt McPherson-Quest to get out of the chair before it collapsed in an apparent heart attack.
On another topic, LtJg Lingn and LtCmdr Singh now have a strange sensation in their hands…a slight itch……
Who are they and what do they want?  More importantly where did they come from?

::Hesitates::
OPS-Qui says:
*CMO*: Sir, I don't think so...nothing showed on sensors
CSO_Singh says:
*CMO*:  I am not sure you want this or not, but it I have a ghost for you in the captains ready room.
Host XO_Jarek says:

Host XO_Jarek says:
OPS: put me on ship wide
OPS-Qui says:
XO: Aye sir...     Shipwide: All crew, please report any persons not a part of the crew to the bridge immediately...
FCO_Rowe says:
::wonders if anyone is going to do anything about the security breach, but he remembers its not his job anymore::
OPS-Qui says:
XO:  Aye sir...    :: Punches a few buttons ::   Channel is opened
CMO_Lynch says:
::passes more unknown crewmembers he's never seen before but is unsurprised::
Host SM_Arlene says:
<Ghost> ::Flies through the Executive Officer.::
CSO_Singh says:
XO:  You mean like all of those appearing around us?  ::Holds out her padd towards him::  Sir, do you believe in ghosts?
CEO_Lingn says:
*ENG*: Send me a technician to the bridge to fix this blasted console.
Host XO_Jarek says:
Shipwide: All hands: It would appear that we have at least one ,let us say intruder on board. If you encounter more do not make any physical contact
CSO_Singh says:
::Watches the ghost fly through the XO and shudders at the same time shifting the padd to her right hand to rub it against her shirt to relieve the itch.::
Host XO_Jarek says:
Shipwide: All hands, Report any intruder activity to the bridge immediately
CMO_Lynch says:
::hearing the XO he makes it his duty to stay clear of everyone whether he recognizes them or not...  Notes everyone else doing the same::
FCO_Rowe says:
XO: Sir, we know a narrow beam phaser blast has no affect, has anyone tried a less focused beam on a lower setting, dispersed across their siloutte?
CEO_Lingn says:
<*ENS_Mitchell*>:On the way.
CMO_Lynch says:
::would announce the various intruders in the corridors but sees countless others already bombarding the bridge with such announcements::
Host XO_Jarek says:
::Feels a ghastly cold as the figure passes through him and senses great agony as it does:: Feels unsteady for a moment::
CMO_Lynch says:
::steps into a Turbo Lift and notes an unknown face in there::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Recieving a flood of sightings from around the ship ::   XO: Sir, they seem to be everywhere...reports coming in from all over the ship
CSO_Singh says:
::Places a hand on the first officer::  XO:  Are you alright sir?
CMO_Lynch says:
TL: Bridge  ::nods at the stranger but keeps his distance::
Host XO_Jarek says:
:: As he regains his composure he begins to itch rather badly::

                                                ACTION:  A chalky substance comes off onto Singhs uniform.
CEO_Lingn says:
::works on the console and scratches his hands with tools::
Host XO_Jarek says:
CSO: I felt an ominous cold and agony from the presence
CMO_Lynch says:
::flips open the tricorder and causually scans the person::

                               ACTION:  Lingn's hand where is scratches with his tool, crumbles into dust.
FCO_Rowe says:
*CMO*: Rowe to Lynch, please report to the bridge.
CMO_Lynch says:
*FCO* I'm doing that as we speak.
CEO_Lingn says:
::looks at his hands in horror::
CSO_Singh says:
::Pulls her hand back::  XO:  Well, whether you believe in ghosts or not, all indication... ::Pauses and looks in horror at her hand::
FCO_Rowe says:
::moves to the most isolated console and transfers flight control to that console, just in case::
CMO_Lynch says:
::arrives on the bridge and steps out::  FCO: Emergency?  ::sees the CEO and quickly rushes over::  What happened here??  ::begins scanning the CEO's hand::
CEO_Lingn says:
ALL: My hands...
CEO_Lingn says:
CMO: I touched one of those things.
FCO_Rowe says:
CMO: They both had contact with the beings. I sense great pain in the XO.
CSO_Singh says:
::Looking at the chalky substance that had once been her hand, she takes a hold of her desire to simply faint and points the tricorder at the substance, ignoring the tears starting to form,::
CMO_Lynch says:
::looks to the apparitions <SP?>  the CEO is referring to, then checks the readings on the tricorder::  CEO: Hold still Ensign.
Host XO_Jarek says:
FCO: All stop
ACTION:  Since the XO had the most contact with the being... a small layer of dust starting from his head slides down his body.
CMO_Lynch says:
CEO: Are you feeling any pain?
FCO_Rowe says:
::follows orders and initiates full stop::
CSO_Singh says:
::Looks at the CMO, her voice just above a whisper::  CMO:  We are breaking down into our cellular component of DNA.
Host XO_Jarek says:
CSO: If I become incapacitated ,do not let this ship near any inhabited location,Understood
Host XO_Jarek says:
::Begins to feel weak and itches really badly::
CSO_Singh says:
::Swallows hard::  XO: Yes sir... ::Notices the powder starting to come off of him.::
CMO_Lynch says:
::turns to face the CSO::  CSO: What in god's name could do that?  ::mostly asking himself and tapping his Comm Badge::
FCO_Rowe says:
::sends an encoded message to SF, informing them of the situation::
CEO_Lingn says:
CMO: No I am not.
Host XO_Jarek says:
CSO: And find out how to cure this......If there is one
CSO_Singh says:
CMO:  I have no idea.  ::Stands slightly straighter::  I am reading... well... that these are ghosts.  But I have never heard of a ghost being able to do any harm.
CMO_Lynch says:
*T'Neer* Lieutenant.  Get in touch with Commander Morris of Micro-Biology.  Ask him what can cause a body to break down to its cellular level.
Host XO_Jarek says:
FCO: Lock out engine and helm control to myself,the CSO and or the CMO and shut us down
CSO_Singh says:
::Poor humor::  All:  I don't suppose we have a medium aboard the ship.
CEO_Lingn says:
CMO: I have to itch badly.
CMO_Lynch says:
<T'Neer> *CMO* Acknowledged Doctor.
OPS-Qui says:
CSO/XO: Sirs, I have a theory...I think there is a correlation between when these ghosts showed up and when the weapons were tested on the asteroid...
FCO_Rowe says:
XO: Sir, you three are the one's that have had the most contact with them, I don't think that is a good idea, we don't know their strength.
Host XO_Jarek says:
OPS: Contact SB 917 and apprise them of our situation
CMO_Lynch says:
::quickly holding out his hands::  CEO: Don't you dare!  ::applies a hypo to deaden the feeling in the arm and remove the "Itch" sensation::
FCO_Rowe says:
XO/OPS: I already have.
OPS-Qui says:
:: Raises an eyebrow ::   FCO: Thanks
CEO_Lingn says:
::sighs::
CSO_Singh says:
::Looks from the CMO to her hand which is slowly deteriating.  Takes a deep breath and moves over to her console.::
CMO_Lynch says:
XO: Commander.  I suggest a full Biological close off of the Luna from all other vessels/planets and space installations.

                                  ACTION:  After touching Lingn.. Poor Dr Lynch's finger tips begin to itch.
Host XO_Jarek says:
CMO: Make it so .Quarenteen us
CMO_Lynch says:
::feels the itch in his fingers and thinks he's got the infection as well::
FCO_Rowe says:
XO: Sir, who will be in command?
CSO_Singh says:
XO:  Qui is making sense... perhaps we need to return to the astroid field. As things stand, we can't take the ship anywhere else.
Host XO_Jarek says:
OPS: ready and launch quarenteen beacons
OPS-Qui says:
:: Having heard the XO's order to the CSO, and seeing how both are currently affected, looks up information in the regs regarding the ship and her crew ::
Host XO_Jarek says:
FCO: If I become incapacitated the command will fall to next in line on down until we have a cure
CMO_Lynch says:
::scans his own fingers and compares the readings to the CEO's::
OPS-Qui says:
XO: Aye sir...    :: Fingers fly over her console preparing the beacons ::
FCO_Rowe says:
XO: Sir, honestly I don't think it is good for the ship for you to still be in command, you have had direct contact....but as you wish.
CEO_Lingn says:
::move to and leans against his console::
CMO_Lynch says:
<T'Neer> *CMO* Doctor, Commander Morris is unknown of anything in recorded history ever causing such an event.
Host XO_Jarek says:
FCO: I am quite capable of command at this time,Now all: Let us find out what happened and find a way to stop it
Host XO_Jarek says:
Bridge crew: Suggestions
CEO_Lingn says:
XO: None,sir.
CMO_Lynch says:
*T'Neer* Lieutenant, I am sending you some scans of various infected crewmembers and one such apparition <SP?> Send the data to Comamnder Morris and get him working on the solution ASAP.
OPS-Qui says:
XO/CSO: Sirs...according to Starfleet regulations...if the vessel falls into hostile hands or has the possiblity of falling into hostile hands in a 24 hour period, or if an infectious situation occurs where it is dangerous to the quadrant, the ship is to self-destruct with all hands....
CSO_Singh says:
::Looks at the CMO::  XO:  Those who have been touched should not be touched themselves.  Whatever this is, it is rather quick and contagious.
CEO_Lingn says:
ALL: Well that is wonderful.
CSO_Singh says:
XO:  Sir, I repeat, take us back to that astroid field.  Qui made a connection that can not be ignored.  And we need more information.
CMO_Lynch says:
::nods at the CSO::  XO: Comamnder, I suggest all infected be quarantened in Cargo Bays.  I'd hate to treat them like Lepers but...  ::suddenly realizes something::
CSO_Singh says:
::Her eyes turn back to the CMO at his pause.::
Host XO_Jarek says:
OPS: We shall hold that off until necessary
OPS-Qui says:
:: Nods at the XO ::
CMO_Lynch says:
::taps badge::  *T'Neer* T'Neer, have Commander Morris compare the readings to that of Earth's history, primarily that of the Leper colonies.  See if there is any corrolation.
Host XO_Jarek says:
FCO: Set course back to the asteroid field

ACTION:  On sensors..the USS Rothchild comes into view.  She is heading for the Asteriod field.
CSO_Singh says:
CMO:  Isn't lepersousy the destruction of various cells?  This is more like... being dried up.  Refuses to look at her left hand.::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Moves to Tactical and slaves OPS and sciences there ::
Host XO_Jarek says:
OPS: Hail the Rothchild
CMO_Lynch says:
::moves over to one Bridge Officer to another and scans them all::  Bridge: Remember, no matter how much it itches... do NOT scratch.
FCO_Rowe says:
::sets course to the asteroid field, warp 2::
CEO_Lingn says:
::tries to fight the urge::
OPS-Qui says:
XO: Aye sir...    :: Opens hailing frequencies to the Rothchild ::    XO: Hailing frequencies opened, sir
CMO_Lynch says:
::nods::  CSO: Yes, but you can not ignore the simularities.  Besides...  I'm at a loss for any other answer at the moment.
Host XO_Jarek says:
COMM: Rothchild: USS Rothchild this is Commander Jarek of the USS Luna ,respond
FCO_Rowe says:
XO: Course set in.
CSO_Singh says:
CMO:  Understood.  ::Contacts the science department and fills them in as well as downloading her readings..::
Host SM_Arlene says:
<Rothchild> COM:Luna:  This is the Rothchild.  Capt Anderson speaking.  It's good to see the Luna heading home again.
CSO_Singh says:
XO:  As a precaution, I suggest we have a backup command crew go to the back up bridge and be basically quaranteened in there as well as all non-essential personel to be restricted to their quarters
Host XO_Jarek says:
COMM: Anderson: The Luna is a quarenteend vessel,We are heading to the asteroid field becaues we believe this is where the contamination took place ,Hold your vessel and proceed no further,
CEO_Lingn says:
::hates to be quarinteened::
Host XO_Jarek says:
CSO: Make it so
OPS-Qui says:
:: Looks at the CSO awaiting orders ::
Host SM_Arlene says:
<Rothchild> COM:Luna:  Understood Cmdr... We now detect the buoys around your ship.  You need to get some around the asteriod field ifyou are sure that is where it came from.
OPS-Qui says:
CSO: Sir, I have not touched someone who has been in contact with the apparitions.  I volunteer my service
FCO_Rowe says:
XO/CSO: I also have had no contact.
Host XO_Jarek says:
COMM: Rothchild: If we do indeed determine that is the location of origin we will indeed secure that area,Please scan the area and deter any vessels from entering this area of space .
CSO_Singh says:
::Contacts silver and the others from Beta shift to report to the back up bridge.::
Host SM_Arlene says:
<Rotchild> COM:Luna:  Understood please keep us informed.  Is there anything we can do for you?
Host XO_Jarek says:
COMM:Rothchild : I will have our CSO inplant a buoy and launch it with all the information we have so far,Isolate it and draw the information if determined safe to do so and help us solve this mystery
CMO_Lynch says:
::after scanning the OPS Officer notes her cells are not deteriating....  compares Lingh's scans with that of hers to see what might be differen
CSO_Singh says:
::Hearing the XO, begins to follow those instructions.::
Host SM_Arlene says:
<Rothchild> COM:Luna:  Will do. Anderson out.
OPS-Qui says:
:: Looks at the Doctor ::
CMO_Lynch says:
OPS: Lieutenant... HAve you had any contact with the apparitions or any of the infected crew
OPS-Qui says:
CMO: I have not touched anyone in contact with the apparitions.  I have not exposed myself nor my symbiont

Host XO_Jarek says:
CSO: Has the secondary crew been detached?
CEO_Lingn says:
CMO: She is fine. Let her go.
CSO_Singh says:
::Informs the back up medical officer to check each officer before they enter the back up bridge.::
CMO_Lynch says:
OPS: If I remember Trill Biology... Joined Trills are protected from many illnesses by the Symbiot are they not?
CSO_Singh says:
XO:  Yes sir and having them checked out before they enter.
OPS-Qui says:
CMO: That is true, sir
CSO_Singh says:
CMO:  Is it a touch contagient or will the rest of the current bridge crew contact it by the spores in the air?
CMO_Lynch says:
::stops and "Humms a moment"::  OPS: I want you to go directly to Sickbay and have T'Neer extract a sample of your blood for scanning the white blood cells, then do NOT return here.
Host XO_Jarek says:
CSO/FCO: Load all information on this mystery into a probe and launch it for retreival from the Rothchild
FCO_Rowe says:
XO: Aye.
CSO_Singh says:
::Looks at OPS consideringly::  OPS: After that, if you are still clean, report to the back up bridge and take command.
CSO_Singh says:
XO:  Downloading now.
Host XO_Jarek says:
::Sits in the center seat feeling lightheaded and sensing yet more agony::
CMO_Lynch says:
XO: Commander, I am releasing Lieutenant Qui from active duty to report to Sickbay.  OPS: Please feel free to put your credentials to work down there.
OPS-Qui says:
:: Nods ::  CMO: Aye sir.   CSO: Yes ma'am.    :: Moves to the turbolift ::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Enters the turbolift ::   Turbolift: Sickbay.
CMO_Lynch says:
::sighs::  CSO: Any ideas Commander?
OPS-Qui says:
:: Feels the turbolift move towards sickbay.  Her brows come together in concern for those she left on the bridge ::
CSO_Singh says:
::Glances at her console reading the green light::  FCO:  My information is downloaded... what I have of it.  As soon as you are down, deploy
CSO_Singh says:
::Looks at the doctor::  CMO:  Perhaps there are some answers back at the astroid field.
CMO_Lynch says:
CSO: ...and I do believe it IS a touch contaminent but I'm not entirely sure as of yet.
Host XO_Jarek says:
::Puts his head in his hand ::FCO: Time to the asteroid field?

ACTION:  Action, Cmdr Singh's hand deteriotes further.  A small hole appears at the top of her hand.  You can see right now  through the other side.
CMO_Lynch says:
::nods at the CSO::  CSO: Are we headed back there yet?
Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan steps onto the Bridge off the turbolift and walks towards the XO::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Feels the lift slow then stop. Exits and walks down the corridor towards sickbay ::
CSO_Singh says:
CMO:  Yes.  We can't go anywhere else.
CMO_Lynch says:
::sees the ACO::  ACO: Sir, I must respectfully order you OFF the bridge.  This is a medical situation here and I have jurisdiction.
CSO_Singh says:
CMO:  On your way up, did you notice any... ummm... coorelations?  Similarities to them or does it just seem random?
OPS-Qui says:
:: Enters sickbay ::   Out loud: I'm looking for Doctor N'Teer...
FCO_Rowe says:
XO: Five minutes to the field sir.
Host SM_Arlene says:
<Rothchild> COM:Luna:  This is Capt Anderson.. I'd like to speak to Capt McPherson_Quest.
CMO_Lynch says:
<T'Neer> OPS: I am Nurse T'Neer.  How may I be of assistance Lieutenant?
Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CMO: With all do respect Doctor, what medical situation?
CMO_Lynch says:
CSO: Correlation between the asteroids you mean?
OPS-Qui says:
T'Neer: Doctor Lynch sent me to you. You are to take a sample of my blood
CMO_Lynch says:
ACO: Just get OFF the bridge NOW!
CEO_Lingn says:
::scratches::
                                                                          ACTION:  Lt Lingn's hand falls off.
CMO_Lynch says:
<T'Neer>  ::nods::  OPS: Aye ma'am.  Please sit over here.  ::motions to a biobed::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Moves to the biobed and takes a seat ::
CMO_Lynch says:
::hears a thump and turns in shock seeing the hand::
CEO_Lingn says:
::screams::
CSO_Singh says:
CMO:  No, between the aliens.  Like... are they all old?  Have some medical condition?  For example, the ghost in the captains readyroom seems to be dead from a heart attack.  The one over there, is old, missing all his teeth.

                                                                   ACTION:  The hand reverts to dust.
Host XO_Jarek says:
*ACO*: Captain ,with all probability ,you have now become infected as well
CMO_Lynch says:
::rushes over and applies a mild narcotic to ease the CEO's nerves::
CSO_Singh says:
::Looks over at the CEO, her eyes wide::
Host XO_Jarek says:
*ACO*: Did you not hear the shipwide announcment
Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CMO: I am sorry Doctor, but this has become a matter of jurisdicition for Star Fleet Intelligence
CMO_Lynch says:
CSO: Hmm... very GOOD question Commander.
FCO_Rowe says:
XO/ACO: Sir, request permission to leave the bridge.
CMO_Lynch says:
::moves over to the OPS console and beams the ACO to the Auxiliary control in Engineering::
Host SM_Arlene says:
<Rothchild> COM: Luna:  Since you are not answering.  We have retrieved the data from the probe and checked it againsts the regulations.. We've calculated you've been infected for approximate 1 1/2 hours.  You have 22 1/2 hours to find a cure or we will be forced to destroy you with all hands.  I have informed SF Command of this.
CMO_Lynch says:
XO: Commander, I suggest we lockdown the bridge completely
CSO_Singh says:
::Looks at the ACO confussed::  ACO:  I failt to see how... ::Watches as the ACO vanishes and smiles as the doctor.::
CEO_Lingn says:
::hyperventilates, not everyday your hand falls off::
Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
COMM: Rothchild: This is Acting Commanding Officer MacPherson-Quest 
CEO_Lingn says:
::sits on the ground of the bridge, shaking::
CSO_Singh says:
XO:  I agree with the doctor.
Host SM_Arlene says:
<Rothchild> COM:Luna:  This is Capt Anderson.  I'm sorry to be the bearer of such news I am very torn about this.  My staff is working furiously trying to help you find a cure.
Host XO_Jarek says:
CSO: Make it so
FCO_Rowe says:
::transfers OPS to his console and checks to see if any holo-projectors were placed during any down-time, scanning the whole ship, he has read one too many times in records that someone has tried to play a joke, it is possible that they are using holo-projectors as well as telepathy to have this affect, the mind is powerful, so in case, he scans::
CMO_Lynch says:
::trying to remember::  CSO: They seemed to be of various ages...  I don't remember anything visibly wrong with them...  ::tries to think further::
Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
*XO*: I thank you for your concern Cmdr, but I am very well prepared to face whatever consequence may be inflicted upon me
CSO_Singh says:
::Turning around, enters the command codes, wishing very much for her captain to be back.::  XO:  Done.
Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
FCO: I'm sorry you may not, unless cleared by the Doctor
CMO_Lynch says:
<T'Neer> OPS: There you go.  You are cleared for release
CSO_Singh says:
CMO:  Do you have anything to help stop the itching...  ::Glances over at the CEO.::
CEO_Lingn says:
XO: Seal off engineering from the rest of the ship, I want all my uninfected engineers there. We got to have this ship in working order. I suggest we put all non infected in EVA suits.
Host XO_Jarek says:
::Shows the ACO his exposed body parts and the now thick dust....ACO: Are you indeed sir ?
Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
COMM: Rothchild: The crew and I thank you Capt Anderson
OPS-Qui says:
N'Teer: Thank you.   :: Stands and leaves for Engineering ::
FCO_Rowe says:
::waiting for the scan he concentrates and tries to sense any extra life-forces, tired of sitting around
CMO_Lynch says:
CSO: I've already applied something to deaden the nerve endings therefore causing the sensation to vanish.  It should have worked  ::looking at the CEO::  I guess not though.  ::sighs trying desperately to think::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Enters a turbolift ::  Turbolift: Engineering
OPS-Qui says:
:: Feels the lift move off towards Engineering ::
CEO_Lingn says:
XO: Respond.
Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
COMM: Rothchild: Any help that you can give us is well appreciated
CMO_Lynch says:
CSO: Aside from putting us all under completely... I don't see what else I can do.
OPS-Qui says:
:: Feels the lift slow, then stop. Sees the doors open and exits.  Walks down to main engineering ::
CSO_Singh says:
::Looks at her own very itchy limb and whispers::  CMO:  It is hard not to itch.  ::Sighs heavily then speaks back up::  This might sound silly, but maybe we disturbed a burrial ground and we are being... cursed?
Host SM_Arlene says:
<Rothchild> COM:Luna:  We are just a call away Capt.  Remember 22 1/2 hours before we are forced to destroy you.
Host XO_Jarek says:
CEO: Yes Chief
CMO_Lynch says:
<T'Neer> ::places the blood sample into the computer for simulations with infected blood and waits for the results::
CEO_Lingn says:
XO: Did you hear me?
CSO_Singh says:
FCO:  ETA to the astroid field?
FCO_Rowe says:
::feeling their feelings he feels their urges...they have to touch, Thati thinks to himself: They must spread their disease through touch and when the host has died they come back as ghosts, how silly, he continues to search deeper::
CMO_Lynch says:
::raises an eyebrow at the CSO thinking that is hardly scientific::
FCO_Rowe says:
::snaps back to reality::CSO: Full stop, welcome to nowhere.
OPS-Qui says:
:: Enters main engineering and touches her combage ::   *CSO*: Sir, I have reached the secondary command center. Your orders?
CEO_Lingn says:
XO:I repeat. Seal off engineering from the rest of the ship, I want all my uninfected engineers there. We got to have this ship in working order. I suggest we put all non infected in EVA suits.
Host XO_Jarek says:
CEO: Agreed
CSO_Singh says:
::Reading his face, she blushes::  CMO:  Well... they are ghosts... which don't exist either.
OPS-Qui says:
:: Walks around the corner and sees the ACO ::   ACO: Sir...I have been ordered to report here.
CSO_Singh says:
FCO: Are we back where we were at before?
CMO_Lynch says:
CSO: Or perhaps they are just lifeforms of another temporal plain... such as the Wormhole Aliens.
FCO_Rowe says:
CSO: The exact spot of the first weapons test.
Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
COMM: Rothchild: If that may happen, I guess you have to do what you have to do
OPS-Qui says:
:: Moves to an open console and transfers controls from the bridge to this console ::
CMO_Lynch says:
::hearing the CSO and the FCO::  XO: Sir, perhaps if we scanned teh remains of the asteroid we sliced up there might be something in there.
Host SM_Arlene says:
<Rothchild> COM:Luna:  Good luck Capt.  Anderson out.
Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
*CMO*: I know you are just doing your job, but my orders come from an higher authority. I should be on the Bridge!
CSO_Singh says:
::Turning, begins both scans and collection of the debris, placed into containment fields.::
FCO_Rowe says:
::concentrates again, they have to have a weakness, Thati searches for it,so far all he has is they have to touch, why don't we just not let them touch? Seems easy enough. Thati's thoughts cloud his concentration so he blocks them out and searches their minds::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Checks the power she transfered over to secondary systems and sees an all green light ::
CMO_Lynch says:
*ACO* Medical has the highest priority above all Captain.  If you have any disagreements you can file a report with Starfleet when this is over.  Lynch out.
Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
COMM: Rothchild: Thank you Capt
ACTION:  The hole in Cmdr Singh's hand gets bigger.... the bottom of Cmdr Jarek's ear falls off along with all his hair
CEO_Lingn says:
::sends out the orders for the crew and engineers::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Sees more crew enter into engineering ::   All: I hope you have all been cleared with sickbay!
CEO_Lingn says:
XO: This is a sad way to go.
CSO_Singh says:
::Refusing to look at her left hand, she is glad she is both a musician and martial arts expert allowing her to be more ambidexterous then most.::
Host XO_Jarek says:
CEO: Aye
FCO_Rowe says:
All: I have a theory as to how these beings work, but until I am convinced of your sanity it shall stay in my mind. I just figured you would like to know...thanks ::goes back to his meditation::

ACTION:  The ghosts suddenly leave once again since they are back at the asteriod.  Outside though a group of ghosts eye the Rothchild at the edge of sensor range.....contemplating.
CMO_Lynch says:
CSO: Perhaps scnning the asteroid we sliced up earlier may enlighten us?
Host XO_Jarek says:
CEO: However we are not gone yet
Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
*CMO*: My orders are not from SFC and SFI is above all else not the other way around.
FCO_Rowe says:
::comes to reality:: COMM: Rothchild: This is the Luna, move!! They are going to get you too!
OPS-Qui says:
:: Hears teh ACO and gives him a sideways glance ::
CMO_Lynch says:
::hearing the ACO and tired of arguing with him chucks his comm badge across the bridge::
CSO_Singh says:
*Science*:  Under no condition are you to take anything out of the containment feilds.
CSO_Singh says:
CMO:  Working on it now.
Host SM_Arlene says:
<Rothchild> COM:Luna:  We are backing off 500,000 KMs.
CEO_Lingn says:
*ALL*:All uninfected crew please get into EVA suits to reduce chances of infection. And after that Engineering will be sealed with unifected engineers.
Host XO_Jarek says:
COMM:Rothchild: A wise idea Captain
CSO_Singh says:
::Glances at the CMO and says nothing, pretending she saw nothing in this case.::
Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
OPS: The Doctor has a date with some unpleasant people
OPS-Qui says:
:: Looks at the ACO.  Hears the CEO, but decides to take her chances.  ::   Self: After all...they are ghosts...they can go through anything.
CMO_Lynch says:
::lookign over the CSO's shoulder at her console trying to understand this::
OPS-Qui says:
ACO: Yes, I am aware of that, sir. I left him on the bridge.
CSO_Singh says:
::Considers a moment and begins to readjust the sensors to a different spectrum.::
CMO_Lynch says:
CSO: HAve you tried Biological scans?
CEO_Lingn says:
::tries to meditate::
OPS-Qui says:
ACO: My concern is that we do not know who has and who has not been infected
FCO_Rowe says:
::goes back to his meditation::
CSO_Singh says:
CMO:  I have everything running now and what I don't, the science labs are now working on.  ::Turns to look up at him.::  But it will take a little bit of time.
Host XO_Jarek says:
::Taps his com badge: *ACO* Captain Quest acknowledge !
CMO_Lynch says:
::sighs hearing the CSO::  CSO: Time is something I don't think we have ANY of...
CEO_Lingn says:
::seals engineering after sensors report all uninfected engineers are in::
ACTION:  At the End of hour 2, things begin to deterioate...Cmdr Singh's hand falls off.  Another three layers of Cmdr Jarek's skins blows away in a puff of dust.  Lt Lingn's forearm crumbles to about half way up to his elbow.
CSO_Singh says:
CMO:  Then pray to your gods that we have enough.
Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
OPS: That is a problem, but inflicted or not we'll all be dead in 22 hours
CMO_Lynch says:
CSO: I don't believe in any Commander.
OPS-Qui says:
ACO: Yes, sir...I was the one who informed the XO

CSO_Singh says:
CMO:  Perhaps it is time you did.
