Episode 157: "The Loreridians, Part 4: Homeward Bound, Maybe": The Luna has taken aboard the Loreridian Delegates and during transport and unfortunate accident occurred.  The Chief Delegate was killed during transport.  The odd thing though, his internal organs have been removed much like Ens MacDonald.  The new XO, Cmdr Horn has also been beamed aboard and has been greatly involved with the Loreridians.  They now can curl their lips like Elvis and swivel their hips.  Cmdr Kymar is investigating the deaths of the two people with missing organs along with trying to keep a bored Capt happy.  Cmdr Singh has the bridge and everyone needs to make a decision.  Is it time to go home yet.

XO_Horn says:
:: In the lounge with the Loreridians, trying to be the perfect diplomat ::
CSO_Singh says:
:: In the big chair, going over sensor data with Silver, enjoying the sounds of normal bridge activity.:: 
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::in his bed recovering from the flu and gathering enough strength to leave his quarters::

ACTION: The Loreridians have taken to the stage and are trying to imitate Elvis.  The one thing they don't seem to know how to do is sing.

CMO_Kymar says:
::walking back into his office, sighing gently as he takes his seat and runs over the information from his autopsies::
CSO_Singh says:
*CMO*:  Doctor, how is the captain doing?
XO_Horn says:
:: Making polite conversation and watching the show ::
Host Dr_Insar_Rowpart says:
::Sitting beside the nice lady who said she was the executive office.::  XO:  Isn't he a great Elvis.
CMO_Kymar says:
*CSO*: I've released him from Sickbay back to his quarters. He'll be cleared for duty in a few hours with any luck.
XO_Horn says:
Rowpart: Yes he is.
CSO_Singh says:
:: So the captain succeeded.::   *CMO*:  Any further information on the bodies?  Is there any reason we need to remain around here?
Host Dr_Insar_Rowpart says:
::Chuckles:: XO:  You are a sweetie.  Even I can tell he is tone deaf.  When can I talk to your Dr... what is his name... Kymar.  I would really like to know the results of the autopsy he did and maybe he can walk me through it.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan swings his legs over the side of his bed and tries to stand. He succeeds, but walks very weakly::
CMO_Kymar says:
::swings his feet up on the desk and sighs softly:: *CSO*: None, this is all still a big mystery...
CSO_Singh says:
*CMO*:  Thank you doctor.  As soon as you can, I would like to review your findings.
XO_Horn says:
Rowpart: He is still doing the investigation. But, be rest assured, when it is complete he will inform you of the results and answer any questions you might have
CSO_Singh says:
:: Tries contacting the captain only to be informed he was quietly resting for a few hours and to be disturbed only for emergencies.::
CSO_Singh says:
*XO*:  Commander, are you busy?
Host Dr_Insar_Rowpart says:
XO:  I thank you.  ::Takes a sip of her drink::  You've been most kind.  Can I see the bridge now?  I've never seen a starship bridge before.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::He makes it to his desk and sits down in the seat. He opens up his computer and begins working on his program::
XO_Horn says:
:: Thanking for the interruption :: *CSO*: Not at the present, what is it
CMO_Kymar says:
::mumbles quietly to himself as he jots down his notes on the PADD, wondering to himself the hows and the whys::

ACTION: Capt Quest falls to his knees twisting the left one.

CSO_Singh says:
*XO*:  I am considering leaving the system, but given the current situation, I thought I should discuss it with you first.
XO_Horn says:
*CSO*: I am on my way to the bridge
XO_Horn says:
Rowpart: If you would like to, you come to the bridge with me
CSO_Singh says:
*XO*:  Acknowledged.
CSO_Singh says:
*CIV*:  Captain, are you feeling better?
XO_Horn says:
:: Leaves the lounge and heads to the bridge ::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::He brings up the countermeasure program that he had been working on, but before he can implement it, he sees a note from the Captain stating that he must get permission from the new XO first. Ewan wonders why, but honors the request::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
*CSO*: Feeling better, no, but I am at my computer about to implement my countermeasure program
CSO_Singh says:
*CIV*:  Have you had an opportunity to complete your questioning of Gopher?
Host Dr_Insar_Rowpart says:
::Practically has to run to keep up with the XO.::  XO:  Missy please slow down!  My little legs can't keep up!
CSO_Singh says:
:: Accepts another report, have lost count of how many she had collected today, briefly wondering if it were not unusually high.::
XO_Horn says:
Rowpart: I am sorry. :: Slows down ::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
*CSO*: No I have not, I really don't feel up to it right now. Don't want to make him sick
Host Dr_Insar_Rowpart says:
::Out of breath.:: XO:  Thank you.  Now tell me another story.  Your great at that.
CSO_Singh says:
*CIV*:  Understood.  Have you seen the doctor yet?
XO_Horn says:
Rowpart: Of course  :: Begins to tell a story as the turbolift doors open to take them to the bridge ::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
*CSO*: No doctors, I have taken my own medicines. My wife is a doctor and I have learned a little from her
Host Dr_Insar_Rowpart says:
::Listens with rapt attention to soothing voice of Miss Alex.::
CSO_Singh says:
*CIV*:  If things do not get better, it never hurts to visit the doctor as your wife is not here.  Take it easy then.
XO_Horn says:
:: The doors open and they step onto the bridge ::
CSO_Singh says:
*CMO*:  Just a note, captain MacPherson is not feeling well.  On something else, are you familiar with the Vidiians?
Host Dr_Insar_Rowpart says:
::Follows the XO onto the bridge.. suddenly stops as her eyes go wide.:: Outloud:  SOOooooooo big.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
*CSO*: I don't feel comfortable seeing any doctors at the present. Besides I am about to implement my countermeasures against our visitors.
CSO_Singh says:
*CIV*:  What are these countermeasures?
Host Dr_Insar_Rowpart says:
::Turns around in a circle.::
XO_Horn says:
:: listens to the conversation between the CSO and the CIV ::
CSO_Singh says:
:: Glances over at the first officer with a nod, her eyes quickly going to the stranger who is now viewing the bridge.::
CMO_Kymar says:
::hum quietly to himself, stopping as his commbadge twitters:: *CSO*: Why isn't he down here getting better then? No matter...the Vidiians? Yes, they do teach Doctors some things in the Academy about them - multiple species physiology ::smiles slightly::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
*CSO*: Just your standard Starfleet Intelligence countermeasures
CSO_Singh says:
*CMO*:  I am wondering if there are any similarities to what we have seen so far.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan picks up a glass of water and takes a drink from the glass::
CSO_Singh says:
*CIV*:  Not being an intelligence agent, could you be a little bit more specific?

ACTION: Tactical alarms go off as a phaser goes off in the Lounge.  One of the Loreridians found one and decided to test it out.  Grazing the poor bartender in the process.

XO_Horn says:
Self: What now
CSO_Singh says:
:: Hearing the alarm, turns to glance over at tactical.::
Host Dr_Insar_Rowpart says:
::Walks up to the CSO since she is small and tugs on her sleeve.::
XO_Horn says:
:: Moves to the nearest panel to determine the cause of the alarm ::
CMO_Kymar says:
*CSO*: Similarities between our current guests and the Vidiians, or between our mystery ones and the Vidiians?

ACTION: Tactical has things quickly under control and the bartender sent to sickbay.  The offending phaser has been confiscated.

CSO_Singh says:
:: Looking at the woman, is reminded of her manners and stands.::  Rowpart:  Welcome aboard.
Host Dr_Insar_Rowpart says:
CSO:  Hi, are you the Capt?
XO_Horn says:
*Security*: We have a weapons fire in the Lounge. Once investigated please inform me of the cause
CSO_Singh says:
*CMO*:  Our mystery deaths.
CSO_Singh says:
:: Catching questions and reports nods to security and leaves the rest to the first officer on that one.::
Host TO_Blast says:
*XO*: Ma'am, one of the Loreridians grabbed a phaser from one of the officers.  They are so small he didn't even notice.  He didn't know how to work it and kinda shot the bartender.  Now the rest of them are upset because nobody is getting any drinks.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
*CSO*: You know that I can not go in to great detail when it comes to SFI work, all I can say is that it will keep them from accessing any pertinent information about the ship, the crew or anything dealing with Starfleet. It takes them on a wild goose chase bouncing them from dummy remote computer to dummy remote computer.
XO_Horn says:
CSO: Any reason why we can't get out of here at the fastest possible speed before anything else happens?
CMO_Kymar says:
*CSO*: I'm not aware of anything like this happening to the Vidiians, or of the Vidiians harvesting organs from people in this area... What are you thinking, Commander?
CSO_Singh says:
:: Finding it very strange to actually be looking down an adult shorter then her, shakes her head.::  Rowpart:  No, I am the ship's CSO, currently playing second officer.  The captain was harmed in an incident and is resting in his quarters.  He will attend to you later.  I hope your stay with us is enjoyable.

ACTION: The bartender appears in sickbay.

CSO_Singh says:
XO:  No sir, which is what I wanted to confer with you first as the captain is currently resting.
Host Dr_Insar_Rowpart says:
CSO: Ok... So what does that do?  ::Points to the OPS Station.::
XO_Horn says:
*TO_Blast*: Understood. Escort them to their quarters and show them how the replicator works, and post a guard outside their quarters also
CSO_Singh says:
*CMO*: Organs do not simply vanish.
MO_Jones says:
::sighs as he sees the bartender and shakes his head, gesturing for the man to sit down as he drags a trolley over to the biobed::
CMO_Kymar says:
*CSO*: They didn't vanish, they were taken.
Host Dr_Insar_Rowpart says:
*XO*:  You want me to round them up Ma'am... You know how difficult that is?
CSO_Singh says:
*CMO*:  Exactly.  One would believe with a reason.
CSO_Singh says:
:: Keeps an eye on Rowpart, letting the bridge crew answer her questions.::
CMO_Kymar says:
*CSO*: Harvesting. Experiments. The aliens that I assume took them left us with the message "You have what we want". I assume they meant our organs.
Host Dr_Insar_Rowpart says:
::Talks non stop driving the crew nuts.::
CMO_Kymar says:
::sighs softly:: *CSO*: That, however, is a lot of assumptions
CSO_Singh says:
:: Shakes her head at one crewmembers exasperation.::
XO_Horn says:
CSO: Get us out of Dodge please
CSO_Singh says:
*CMO*:  Something to keep in mind.
CSO_Singh says:
:: Looks curiously at the first officer.::  XO:  Dodge ma'am?
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::turns his attention back to his work:: *XO*: Pardon the interruption Cmdr, but this is Capt. MacPherson-Quest just letting you know that I am about to implement my countermeasure programs....with your permission of course?
XO_Horn says:
Rowpart: If you want to observe the bridge, the best place would be in this corner up here. This way you could watch with being disturbed
CSO_Singh says:
*CIV*:  My pardon for taking so long to reply.  But understood.
Host Dr_Insar_Rowpart says:
::Turns and looks at the nice lady.::  XO:  How do I ask questions back there?  You don't want me to yell do you...  ::Grabs a passing by Ensign in yellow::  EO: What is a coupling?
XO_Horn says:
:: Sighs :: CSO: Get us back to the Starbase at fastest speed please
XO_Horn says:
*CIV*: Go ahead with the countermeasures and keep me updated on it
CSO_Singh says:
XO:  Yes ma'am.  ::Turns to the FCO and nods at him, noting his smile.  Apparently he understood the idiom.::
XO_Horn says:
:: kicking herself for allowing the little creature on the bridge ::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::what he didn't tell the CSO, is that the program will also gather information on the visitors should they attempt to do what they have before::

ACTION: One of the Loreridians veer off on the way back to their quarters and enters the gym where a boxing match is taking place.   He goes and tries to get into the middle so he could figure out what is going on.  Plenty of boos come from the audience.

XO_Horn says:
Self: Just give me a phaser, just one

ACTION: The ship jumps into warp.

CSO_Singh says:
XO:  ETA is 26 days, 14.5 hours.
Host Referee says:
*CSO/XO*:  Oh Ma'amsss....  ::Tries to grab the little guy as the TO receives a left hook to the chin while trying to do the same.::  Did you lose something?
CSO_Singh says:
* Referee*:  Lose something?  As in what?
Host Dr_Insar_Rowpart says:
::Climbs into the Engineers lap and watches how he inputs stuff into the computer.::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::upon picking up his PADD from SFI, he notices that someone has accessed his personnel record. He checks to see who looked at it recently and notices that it is the Luna’s new Executive Officer:: *XO*: Understood ::he goes back to the computer and begins the implementation of the program::
Host Referee says:
*CSO*:  As in something small and mobile?
CSO_Singh says:
*Referee*:  Small and mobile?  Ahhh... you have one of our guests?
XO_Horn says:
*Security*: I would like one Starfleet escort with every one of the Loreridians
XO_Horn says:
*Referee*: Someone is on the way down. Thank you for keeping an eye open
Host TO_Blast says:
::Exasperated::  *XO*: Many - each one needs an army.  You try to grab them, they run between your legs.  They are like children let out into the sun for the first time.
XO_Horn says:
::Whispers:: CSO: Ever feel like you were a babysitter?
CSO_Singh says:
:: Glances at the XO ::  *Referee*:  Treat our guest accordingly please.
Host Referee says:
*XO*:  Can't miss him, he jumped right in the middle of a boxing match and started to ask questions.  The poor security officer got KO'd and he is not even in the match!
CSO_Singh says:
:: Shakes her head::  XO:  I was the baby sister.
CSO_Singh says:
:: Hearing the referee, a twinkle comes to her eyes, but her face shows nothing.::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::After the program executes, the Intelligence Officer in him begins to wonder what the XO wanted to know, all she had to do was ask::
Host Dr_Insar_Rowpart says:
::Climbs off the EO's lap and gets onto her knees.. she pulls off the panel to the Engineering console and pulls out a chip to look at it.  The ship drops out of warp.::
CSO_Singh says:
:: Catches herself against the arm of the chair as they suddenly drop out of warp.::
XO_Horn says:
:: feels the ship drop out of warp ::
Host Dr_Insar_Rowpart says:
::Holds up the chip and the EO tries to grab it.:: Outloud: What does this do?
CSO_Singh says:
:: Looks toward the FCO who is shaking his head.  Then turns to the cussing engineer and gets the picture.::
CMO_Kymar says:
::feels the ship drop out of warp against and frowns slightly::
CSO_Singh says:
XO:  Commander, it is apparent that we need to limit our guest accessibility to certain areas of the ship, the bridge being one of them.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
*XO*: Program has been executed and has begun to run. If there is anything more that you need, I will be here in my quarters taking the necessary steps to get over my illness
XO_Horn says:
CSO: I agree
CSO_Singh says:
:: Walks over to Rowpart and gently takes the chip, handing it to the engineer, not saying anything about the language that probably turned her ears red.::
XO_Horn says:
*CIV*: Understood. If you are free at the moment, maybe you can assist with the Loreridians
CSO_Singh says:
Rowpart:  Things are soon to get busy here on the bridge.  We rarely allow civilians aboard, but wanted to give you a chance for you to see it.  However, it is time for you to visit your quarters so that we might be about our jobs.
Host Dr_Insar_Rowpart says:
::Tries to grab the chip back.::  CSO: Hey!!  I was looking at that!  You inconsiderate wench.  I will tell my government.  Admiral Xavier assured us that we will have full access here.  ::Hands on hips insulted.::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
*XO*: Only if you want to run the risk of them catching what I have and maybe dying from it because their immune system can not handle a foreign agent
CSO_Singh says:
Rowpart:  No ma'am, they did not.  And I was under the belief that you were a polite people.  My apologies for making incorrect assumptions.
XO_Horn says:
*CIV*: Belay that. As you were then
Host Dr_Insar_Rowpart says:
::Turns beat red.::  CSO:  You....you...... how dare you speak to me in that manner.  Do you get diplomatic training from which ever back woods school you went to?
CSO_Singh says:
TO Tom:  Please show our guest to her quarters.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
*XO*: Understood Cmdr.
CSO_Singh says:
Rowpart:  I did receive proper training.  If you would like to know what is proper as well, I would be glad to give you the names of my instructors.
Host Dr_Insar_Rowpart says:
::Crosses her arms::  CSO:  I'm not going.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
*CMO*: I am on my way to Sickbay
CMO_Kymar says:
::looks up from his reading again:: *CIV*: Good, I heard you were sick.
CSO_Singh says:
TO Tom:  Be polite in removing our guest.
CSO_Singh says:
:: Informed by the engineer things were back online, she turns back to the viewscreen.::  FCO:  Please proceed back on course.

ACTION: TO Tom tries to guide Rowpart towards the TL doors.  She kicks him in the shins.

XO_Horn says:
Rowpart: This officer will show you different parts of the ship. If you have any questions, you can write them down and ask me later. How does that sound?
Host Dr_Insar_Rowpart says:
CSO: I would like a channel to my government and Admiral Xavier please.
CSO_Singh says:
Rowpart:  You may have them in your quarters.
Host Dr_Insar_Rowpart says:
::Stops a moment intrigued.::  XO: What parts of the ship?
CSO_Singh says:
:: Is beginning to wonder if the captain knew something she had not, hence the extra rest.::
XO_Horn says:
Rowpart: We could show you the most important part of the ship.
Host Dr_Insar_Rowpart says:
XO:  Oh?  ::Rubs her hands::  What is that?
XO_Horn says:
Rowpart: The part of the ship where everybody goes
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
*CMO*: I will be there after I take a shower and change into a fresh uniform
CSO_Singh says:
:: Looks at the first officer, wondering if that were the brig.::
XO_Horn says:
Rowpart: It is called the holodeck. There all your wishes can come true
CMO_Kymar says:
*CIV*: Just as long as make it down here.
CSO_Singh says:
XO:  Commander, I believe we have a program called Disneyland available.
Host Dr_Insar_Rowpart says:
::Smiles:: XO:  Well then, show me this holodeck you speak of. ::Turns to the CSO and flips her hair.::  CSO: You could learn a think or two from this lady.
Host Dr_Insar_Rowpart says:
::Points to the XO.::
Host Dr_Insar_Rowpart says:
::Walks to the TL with her escort.::  CSO: Please have the rest of my delegation join me on this holodeck.
XO_Horn says:
:: Whispers to the TO :: TO_Tom: Keep him there, even if you have to seal the door
CSO_Singh says:
:: Politely inclines her head and returns to her duties making a note for ops to include a protocol book in their quarters.::  Rowpart:  Understood.
CSO_Singh says:
*All Security detail*:  Those 'guiding' our guests, please lead them to holodeck two.

ACTION:  Several replies return to the CSO...  "With pleasure!"

CSO_Singh says:
:: Looks up to the ceiling with the thought this was going to be a very long trip, followed along with the thought if the doctor might have something to help their guests sleep for most of it.::
CMO_Kymar says:
::jots down a few more notes on his reports before sending them up to the CSO for her analysis or...whatever::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan dresses after drying off, he then grabs his site-to-site transporter. He uses the SFI gadget even though Savar doesn't like it, but in this case he thinks it's warranted. Ewan materializes outside of sickbay::
