Episode 205 “Degrees of Impossibility, Part 5”:  Another piece of the puzzle has been dug up in the continuing enigma that is unfolding on  the planetoid of Lassek.  It appears that the stations entire complement, consisting of 40 personnel, both scientists and security have been cloned about 6 days ago.  Strangely though as of yet there have been no indication as to who has accomplished this  act, just a rouge signal picked up by Starfleet that may or may not have been a homing  beacon placed by the crew of the Luna on a vessel that eluded them earlier.  With time moving on the perpetrators of this crime are getting further and further away from  our intrepid crew, they need to unravel what happened to the original crew of the station  and quickly, because for every minute they delay means reduces the chance of catching the  perpetrators.

MO_Lynch says:
@::approaches the CMO::  CMO: Sir, we should alert the Luna that the possibility, however slight, is that whoever is responsible for this may have transferred over to the Luna
CMO_McDonald says:
@MO: I would agree. See to it.

@ACTION: On the station the impact of being cloned is starting to affect everyone, there is a general state of unrest beginning to establish itself.

MO_Lynch says:
@::briefly eyes the CMO wondering if the man actually does anything, then taps his Comm. Badge::  *CO*: Lynch to Luna
Host CO_Savar says:
*MO*: Go ahead.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Ewan makes his way to the cloning machine::
CMO_McDonald says:
@:: spins around and starts looking at the scans in front of him to determine if he can see when and how all these people got cloned ::
MO_Lynch says:
@*CO*: Sir we should examine the possibility that whoever is responsible for the cloning down here on the surface may indeed have escaped to the Luna.
Host CO_Savar says:
*MO*: Via what method?  We've only beamed crew down, not taken anyone aboard.
MO_Lynch says:
@::approaches Lt Blake:: Blake: A moment of your time
Host Lt_Blake says:
@::escorting the CIV:: CIV: This section of the Station is currently locked down, I will need to unseal it for us.
CMO_McDonald says:
@*CIV* I had the MO contact the Luna and advise whoever did the cloning down here may have escaped possibly to the Luna. I am still looking into HOW all these people got cloned.
MO_Lynch says:
@::shrugs instinctively not realizing the CO can't see it:: *CO*: I don't know sir but considering we have Starfleet Intelligence down here with their little toys and two Akiras with cloaks.... anything is possible.
Host Lt_Bean says:
@::watching the doctors do their work:: CMO: Doctor, I am going to need the use of all the stations personnel to enact containment protocol, I hope this isn't going to be a problem.
Host CO_Savar says:
*MO*: Are you, then, theorizing that the operatives may be responsible for this in some manner?  Or that one was compromised, and their technology used inappropriately?
CMO_McDonald says:
@Lt Bean: You do what you feel is necessary.
MO_Lynch says:
@*CO*: Either or Sir, but I would hope that the latter would apply.  ::notices Blake is nowhere to be seen::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::taps his combadge:: *CMO*: Keep me updated doctor, in the meantime, I'm checking out how they might have been cloned and I have an idea myself as to how they may have been cloned.
Host Lt_Bean says:
@::nods to the CMO:: Dr Stradling: We need to turn this station inside out, if someone has cloned us in the last 6 days they haven't got off this station, there must be some evidence here, we need to find it.
Host CO_Savar says:
*MO*: I will run an internal scan to determine if anyone has come aboard the Luna.  However, if they have gone to the SFI vessels, we will have no way of knowing.
MO_Lynch says:
@*CO*: I'm also working on another possible theory but I'll let you know when I have more.  Lynch out.
Host Dr_Stradling says:
@::nods:: Lt Bean: I agree.  My people will of course do as you order.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@Lt Blake: The seal my no longer exist
Host CO_Savar says:
::Turns behind him::  TO: Check our internal sensor logs.  Look for energy surges that would indicate someone beaming aboard.  If that turns up nothing, look for unusual lifesign readings.
CMO_McDonald says:
@*CIV* Understood.
MO_Lynch says:
@Computer: Computer, locate Lieutenant Blake.
Host Lt_Blake says:
@::reaches a set of blast doors and taps a few buttons on the console next to it, the door slides open::
Host Computer says:
@MO: Lieutenant Blake is now entering Area 2, Junction 1.
MO_Lynch says:
@::hearing the Computer he turns to the CMO::  CMO: Commander, I will be back momentarily.  ::heads toward Sickbay's doors::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@Lt Blake: Also, I may have an idea on who or what may have cloned these people

@ACTION: The doors slide open to reveal a very large room, perhaps 50 meters deep and the same wide, there is obvious evidence of dominion technology everywhere and in the centre of the room are a series of large cylinders, they appear to have titanium covers over them

CMO_McDonald says:
@*MO* Understood. just observe but do not interfere
Host Lt_Blake says:
@::looks interested:: CIV: And who exactly is that?
MO_Lynch says:
@::steps out of the planetary bases Sickbay and heads toward what he believes is Area 2::
Host Lt_Bean says:
@::begins issuing orders to scientists to tear the station apart to find evidence of who cloned them::
CMO_McDonald says:
@Lt; Bean: When you find anything report it to me immediately. Understood.
MO_Lynch says:
@::arrives in Area 2 and begins looking for Junction 1::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@Lt Blake: I have been on the trail, so to speak, of an unknown entity that has a knack of kidnapping people, but cloning seems to be out of characteristic for them.
Host CO_Savar says:
::Takes the report from the tactical officer and checks it over::
Host Lt_Bean says:
@CMO: I will if you need to know doctor ::gives the CMO his no-nonsense smile::
CMO_McDonald says:
Lt Bean: As far as I'm concerned until the CIV returns to this location *I* am in charge. You will do as I say or I will bust you so fast you'll feel like a first year cadet.,
Host Lt_Blake says:
@CIV: Really?  How interesting. ::Taps a few buttons on a console:: I am activating the cloning systems, the tanks should unshielded momentarily.
MO_Lynch says:
@::arrives at Junction 1 and calls out::  Blake: Lieutenant Blake?  Are you here?
CMO_McDonald says:
@CIV* Do we actually know who these security people are. Can you dig that up and find something out?
Host Lt_Blake says:
@::hears someone shouting:: CIV: That will be your Doctor.  ::calls back:: MO: Over here doctor.
MO_Lynch says:
@::hears Blake and begins moving in the direction the voice came from::
Host Lt_Bean says:
@CMO: You could always just ask us Doctor.
CMO_McDonald says:
@t Bean: I'm sure I could but right now. Nothing doesn’t seem to be as it appears. Just a cautionary measure.
MO_Lynch says:
@::spotting Blake and Captain MacPherson he approaches:: CIV/Blake: Captain... Lieutenant.

@ACTION: In the "Cloning Room" there is a large hiss, just as the MO enters, and the titanium covers begin to slide off of the vats...

MO_Lynch says:
@::turns toward the sound of the hiss:: CIV/Blake: What the heck is going on??

@ACTION: The first couple are just full of clear purplish liquid, but as the third cover lifts it reveals a pair of legs, then a torso, finally a head, a definite female

CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@Lt Blake: I think you may find that they these have been used approximately 6 days ago
MO_Lynch says:
@::approaches the female with his Medical Tricorder and scans her::
Host Lt_Bean says:
@CMO: Very wise.  Have you ever thought about joining SFI?  You would do well I have no doubt.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::taps his combadge:: *CMO*: Whenever I get the chance to be alone
Host Lt_Blake says:
@::watches the figure in the tank:: All: Who on earth is that?
CMO_McDonald says:
@*CIV* Understood sir. I am working on things at this end.
Host Lt_Strahlung says:
CO: Captain, I am picking up some strange readings from the long range sensors, I'm not sure if its just the gravity bubble playing up though...
CMO_McDonald says:
@*CO* Just a thought. Can you use the ship sensors to see if there are any cloaked vessels in the area.
Host CO_Savar says:
Lt: Keep an eye on it.  Distance?
MO_Lynch says:
@::calls out::  CIV/Blake: She's alive!
Host CO_Savar says:
*CMO*: There are probably at least two out there.  We cannot detect any.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@MO: What you have seen and heard here doesn't leave this room
CMO_McDonald says:
@*CO* Understood. I am getting a strange feeling that we are being watched. Like this is a game..

@ACTION: As the women slowly rotates under some hidden current the CIV can easily distinguish the face of Lenore, our kidnapped Ambassador

MO_Lynch says:
@CIV: Understood Captain.  CIV/Blake: Can someone give me a hand getting her out of here?
Host Lt_Blake says:
@MO: I suggest you get her out then.
MO_Lynch says:
@::eyes Blake and thinks 'What is this?  Let's make the MO do everything day?'::
Host Lt_Strahlung says:
CO: 8.7 light years...
Host CO_Savar says:
@*CMO*: A 'game'?  So far I have been unconvinced that the personnel you are interacting with are Starfleet Intelligence.  This does not seem like their usual modus operandi.
MO_Lynch says:
@::carefully grabs her under the arms and pulls her out to one of the tables::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Ewan steps away for a moment and taps his combadge:: *CO*: I have found what appears to be a clone just finished being cloned, but it is very familiar
Host CO_Savar says:
@*CIV*: Who is it?
MO_Lynch says:
@::applies a hypo to try and bring her around:::
Host Lt_Blake says:
@::aids the MO:: MO: She isn't on the Stations roster, how did she get here?
CMO_McDonald says:
@*CO* I would agree.
MO_Lynch says:
@Blake: You tell me... Your department is running this operation.  One I might add I believe is against everything the Federation Charter stands for.  ::looking disgusted at Blake::
Host Amb_Lenore says:
@::opens her eyes and locks onto Lt Blake... and screams, scrambling backwards off of the table and retreats, genuine fear in her eyes into the corner and curls into a ball::
MO_Lynch says:
@::holds a hand up toward Blake and approaches Lenore::  Lenore: It's OK.  I won't let anyone harm you.  Can you hear me?  Are you alright?  I'm Lieutenant Commander Richard Douglas Lynch of the U.S.S. Luna.
Host Lt_Blake says:
@::takes a step back and looks pale, as if someone had just told him some terrible news:: MO: I... I ::manages to compose himself: I have never seen her before in my life...
MO_Lynch says:
@::reaches for a robe to cover her with::
Host Amb_Lenore says:
@::continues to shake for a few moments and then looks up:: MO: Luna?  The USS Luna?  ::begins to cry:: Oh thank you, I knew you would find me, I just knew it!
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@*CO*: It is the clone of the esteemed Ambassador Lenore
MO_Lynch says:
@Lenore: It's OK, we are here to help.  Can you tell me who you are?
Host CO_Savar says:
*CIV*: I suppose finding a clone of her is better than nothing.
Host Dr_Turner says:
@::hurries into the medical bay looking excited, while carrying a small black device::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@*CO*: So this means that either the black ship is still here, or it got out of here quickly before it could take the clone with them before our arrival
Host Amb_Lenore says:
@MO: Lenore. Ambassador Lenore of Stilgar 3. ::looks around her:: Where am I?
MO_Lynch says:
@Lenore: I have some very disturbing news for you Ambassador... it might be hard for you to hear...
CMO_McDonald says:
@:: Looks up :: Dr: What is that?
MO_Lynch says:
@::takes a sample of her blood and runs it through the Medical Tricorder just to be certain::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::walks back over to the Blake and Lynch:: MO: Can we be sure that this is a clone?
Host Dr_Turner says:
@CMO/ Bean: We found this, attached on the underside of our computer core, we haven't seen anything like it
MO_Lynch says:
@CIV: Shh!!!!   ::looks to Lenore to see if she heard::
CMO_McDonald says:
@Dr Turner: Where did you say you found this? :: looks to Bean :: Bean: Have you seen this before?
Host Lt_Bean says:
@::takes the device from Turner:: CMO: I have never seen anything like this, it obviously isn’t of Federation origin.
MO_Lynch says:
@::gets the reading back on her DNA Scan and smiles::  Lenore: Ambassador... I have good news for you.  It turns out my fears and assumptions have proven to be false... you are indeed Ambassador Lenore of Stilgar 3 and not a clone of this facility  ::smiles again placing a hand on her shoulder::
Host Dr_Turner says:
@CMO: Attached to the underside of our computer core.
CMO_McDonald says:
@*CIV* Can you double time it back to sickbay there is a strange device that one of the doctors found attached to the underside of the computer core
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@MO: Sorry doctor, but tact isn't a strong suit of mine
Host Amb_Lenore says:
@MO: I could have told you that... ::smiles and then looks at the tricorder:: You... you haven't ... used that on me have you?
MO_Lynch says:
@::glares at the CIV::  CIV: That's an understatement Captain.
MO_Lynch says:
@::his mouth gapes slightly as he looks at the Tricorder then Lenore::  Lenore: As a matter of fact no, I used this ::holding up a hypo::  to extract your blood then used this ::holding up the Tricorder::  to scan the blood in the vile.  Why?
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@taps his combadge:: *CMO*: On my way. Blake/Lynch: If you'll excuse me, but I'm needed in Sickbay
Host Lt_Strahlung says:
CO: Captain?  You told me to keep an eye on that reading... well it appears to have gotten closer, although I cannot get a fixed reading on it.
Host CO_Savar says:
Lt: Estimate how much closer?
MO_Lynch says:
@::taps badge thinking nobody has informed the Captain yet::  *CO*: Sir... It seems we have found the missing Ambassador of Stilgar 3 and sir?  She is not a clone.
Host Amb_Lenore says:
@::looks relived:: MO: My people have a belief that such devices can damage the soul when used.  I would appreciate it if you would not use it around me ::stands up, adjusting the robe the MO gave her::  I believe I need a change of clothes.
Host CO_Savar says:
*MO*: Excellent.  Regarding your earlier theory, we have no reason to believe they came to the Luna.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::as he walks out of the room, he taps his combadge:: *CO*: It appears that we found the "real" Lenore, so I would assume that we got here before they could clone her. So, I would say that the Luna be on alert that the black ship is still in the area.
Host CO_Savar says:
*CIV*: There is an anomalous reading in the system that we cannot pinpoint nor lock onto.
MO_Lynch says:
@::nods at the Ambassador:: *CO*: Understood Captain... and request you beam the Ambassador up immediately and directly to a private room where she may change into something more appropriate.
Host Lt_Blake says:
@CIV: What is this device?  I will keep an eye on this Ambassador but I want to be kept informed Captain.
Host CO_Savar says:
*MO*: Please see that she is prepared for beaming... I will meet her personally in the transporter room.  ::Stands up and leaves another officer in charge, entering the turbolift::
Host Lt_Strahlung says:
CO: Its about 1 light year closer, but it doesn't appear to be heading straight towards us, more of at a tangent...
Host LtCmdr_Jones says:
::Takes the center chair in the CO's absence::  Lt: Thank you, Lieutenant.  What course is it taking?
MO_Lynch says:
@::hearing the CO wonders what part of "directly to a private room so she can change" didn't he understand?  Then turns to the Ambassador:: Lenore: Ambassador ma'am...  We are going to beam you back to the Luna where you will be safe.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@*CO*: That could be our little black ship, keep an eye on the anomaly
Host Amb_Lenore says:
@::nods to the MO:: MO: I would also like to contact my father and let him know that I am safe, he must be terribly worried
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::peeks his head back in the room:: Blake: I'll keep you informed
Host CO_Savar says:
::Arriving in the transporter room, he dismisses the operator, and gives him orders to clear the hallway between the transporter room and the VIP quarters.  Stepping behind the console, he signals the MO::  *MO*: Doctor, please inform the Ambassador to stand ready.
MO_Lynch says:
@Lenore: I'm sure he is ma'am.  I'll make sure the Captain is made aware.  Now if you'll step over here.  ::motions to an area out of the way near the wall::  *CO*: Aye sir, she is ready for transport.
Host Lt_Bean says:
@CMO: If this was attached to our computer perhaps it has done something to our files?  I shall get them checked immediately.
Host Amb_Lenore says:
@::stands where the MO instructed::
Host CO_Savar says:
::Energizes the transporter based on the MO's signal::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Ewan looks around to see if he is the clear and sees that he is alone and he taps a little gadget on his belt and appears just outside Sickbay::

ACTION: Ambassador Lenore materializes on the Luna

CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Ewan walks into Sickbay:: CMO: Where is this "device" doctor?
Host CO_Savar says:
Lenore: Ambassador Lenore.  It is agreeable to see you again.  May I escort you to quarters?
MO_Lynch says:
@::watches as the Ambassador dematerializes and then turns to Blake::  Blake: Now, for the reason I came here.
CMO_McDonald says:
@Lt Bean: Yes right away.
CMO_McDonald says:
@:: Grabs the device from the Lt and hands it to the CIV::  CIV: Here you go.
Host Amb_Lenore says:
::looks dazed for a moment and then sees the Captain:: CO: Captain!! ::rushes forward and embraces him:: I had a dream about you, I knew you would come and find me.
Host CO_Savar says:
::Is uncertain how to react to the embrace::  Amb: It is a pleasure to not disappoint.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::takes the device:: CMO: Where was it?
CMO_McDonald says:
@CIV: On the underside of the main computer core.
CMO_McDonald says:
@CIV: I am having the Lt here take the core apart to see if any files were tampered with.
MO_Lynch says:
@::taps Lieutenant Blake on the shoulder::  Blake: Lieutenant?  You alright?
Host Amb_Lenore says:
::lets go of him and takes a step back, adjusting her hair slightly:: CO: I am sorry, I don't know what came over me... but I would love to get that change of clothes.
Host CO_Savar says:
::Motions with his arm::  Amb: This way, then, please.
Host Lt_Bean says:
@::busy coordinating at a console::
Host Lt_Blake says:
@::looks at the MO and the fear is obvious in his eyes:: MO: Sorry... what? Yes, yes I am fine, its all been a bit much, that’s all.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::looks at where the device was and then looks at the device::
Host Lt_Blake says:
@MO: You were saying?
MO_Lynch says:
@::nods::  Blake: Yes...  There was a small anomaly in your DNA scan earlier... you mind if I take another blood sample to compare with.  I'm sure it's nothing to worry about.  ::smiling::
Host Lt_Blake says:
@MO: What sort of anomaly?
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Ewan runs a tricorder scan of the device to see what he can find out about it::
Host Amb_Lenore says:
::follows after the CO:: CO: How long have I been gone?
MO_Lynch says:
@::scrunches up his face to show it was nothing::  Blake: A glitch in the Hypo you retrieved your blood with.  It could have falsified the earlier readings.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Ewan looks at the tricorder readings:: CMO: It looks as if it some kind of integrator of some sort, very technologically advanced
CMO_McDonald says:
@CIV: I would suggest we get it back to the Luna ASAP
Host Lt_Blake says:
@::moves his right arm forward:: MO: Lets hope this hypospray isn't faulty.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@CMO: I think that Star Fleet Intelligence would like to see this
CMO_McDonald says:
@CIV I would totally agree
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@CMO: Other than myself and Bean, perhaps Command
MO_Lynch says:
@::chuckles and takes the sample from the supplied arm::  Blake: Nah... This one's my trusted personal Hypo which I keep well maintained.  ::finishes taking the sample::  Blake: Thank you Lieutenant.  I'll let you know the results.  ::smiles and places the hypo in his medkit and returns to the station's sickbay::
Host Lt_Bean says:
@CIV/CMO: I think I know what that device has been doing...
CMO_McDonald says:
@Lt Bean: What?
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::taps his combadge:: *Blake*: The device appears to be an alien technology that kind of integrates itself into whatever computer mainframe its attached to
