Host Vaughn says:
Last time episode the Abertura crew was knee deep in the investigation of several murders that occurred in Denegeu territory in their capitol city. The Chief of Security and Chief Science Officer have been assigned the bulk of the questioning most recently. The crew must be careful as this investigation is politically sensitive with much at stake.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
XO_Azhure says:
::Waiting at the bottom of the steps of the municipal building, waiting for her captain.::
CSec_Lt_Powers says:
     ::Waiting in a hallway, awaiting word from the Captain::
Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
::steps out of the aero shuttle and looks around::
XO_Azhure says:
::Walks over to M'Tor::  CO:  I take it your jaunt was uneventful?
CSO_Ens_Kirkbride says:
CSec: So, do you have any theories yet Sir?
Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
::nods:: XO: Rumor has it... our prime suspect is some high politician.
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
::Standing near the CSO & CSEC, listening to them speak::
XO_Azhure says:
CO:  Yes... and everyone wants to speak to you as you are the head of the station.  So I gladly turn this mystery over to you.  Right now, I am waiting for the doctor’s report.  Last check, we didn't know how the first four died and that bothers me.
CMO_Jules says:
:: walks through the entrance hall and looks around then taps her commbadge :: *XO* Commander, I have finished the autopsies.  Where are you?
CSec_Lt_Powers says:
CSO: For now, I think we should investigate the Minister... I don't much care for the guy we talked to, either.
XO_Azhure says:
::Reaches up to tap her commbadge::  *CMO*:  I am outside the main building with the captain.  Please come join us.
CMO_Jules says:
*XO* Aye Commander.
CSO_Ens_Kirkbride says:
CSec: Yes. ::Raises an eyebrow:: I also think we must investigate the Minister. However I am skeptical. It seems a little convenient that something of his was left at each crime scene. Still, that alone is conclusive of nothing.
CMO_Jules says:
:: walks through the hall and out onto the front steps ::
Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
XO: Why me? You're negotiation skills are a tad better. I prefer to kill first and ask questions later.
CMO_Jules says:
:: salutes :: CO/XO:  Captain, Commander.
CSec_Lt_Powers says:
CSO: It could be planted, I agree.  Which is why we should speak with him, see if he can confirm that he was not actually at the sites of the murders... which would indicate someone wants him out...
Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
::nods:: CMO: Doctor.
XO_Azhure says:
CO:  Political and cultural issue.  Consider yourself the king here.  You are not equivalent to their upper echelon, but closer then I am.
XO_Azhure says:
::Turns to the doctor::  CMO:  What did you discover?
Host Halon says:
::Waits for the station captain to arrive::
Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
::rolls eyes::
XO_Azhure says:
::Chuckles at M'Tor's response::  CO:  I thought you might like that.
CSO_Ens_Kirkbride says:
CSec: ::Nods, and glances around suspiciously::  Somehow this whole thing just feels wrong.
CMO_Jules says:
XO:  Most of the victims were stabbed to death with a sharp instrument.  The wounds are consistent with knife wounds.
CSO_Ens_Kirkbride says:
CSec: But you are right. And we must rely on evidence. It has no feelings.
CMO_Jules says:
XO:  4 of them are undetermined.  I have a few tests running on them now, and am waiting on the results.
Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
CMO: Sounds like home.
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
CSO: If I may, Mr. Kirkbride, death never feels right.
XO_Azhure says:
CMO:  Why are they undetermined though?  Are we looking at some kind of substance not in our databanks?
CMO_Jules says:
XO:  The last scans I had come up with some rather strange readings.  I am conducting other test to try and come up with some answers.
XO_Azhure says:
CMO:  Have you had a chance to talk to their medical examiner?
CMO_Jules says:
XO:  I am testing for substances.  And no, I have not had the opportunity to converse with their examiner.
Host Halon says:
::The Prime Minister decides to go back to work and send an aide to check on their guests::
CSO_Ens_Kirkbride says:
CVO: ::Smiles:: Of course. I have not had a lot of direct experience with death myself I must admit.
XO_Azhure says:
CO:  Well, the Prime Minister is waiting for you.  I guess we shouldn't keep him much longer.  Did you want me to go back to the station?
Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
CMO: I shall go speak with the Prime Minister.... you can go meet this Medical Examiner.
XO_Azhure says:
CMO:  You might see what he knows.
CMO_Jules says:
XO:  I will inform you when the tests on the 4 are complete.
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
::A knowing look:: CSO: I've seen twelve people die. They were pointless deaths. I still don't understand them today.
CMO_Jules says:
XO:  I just needed to get out of there for a few minutes and update you.
Host Halon says:
ACTION: The Prime Ministers aide finds the Abertura crew and waves frantically for them to come in.
Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
::nods:: XO: We have to make sure that Abertura does not blow up in our absence.
XO_Azhure says:
::Nods::  CO:  Then I will see you when you get back.
CMO_Jules says:
CO:  Sir, we are being waved to.
Host Halon says:
<PM's Aide> All: Please the Prime Minister is a very busy man. Please hurry. ::Smiles sheepishly::
XO_Azhure says:
CMO:  I would like to know about any odd substances should you find any.
CMO_Jules says:
XO:  Yes Commander.
Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
CMO: Proceed. Aide: Lead the way. ::follows the PM's aide::
CMO_Jules says:
CO:  I will be in the morgue finishing up the tests.
Host Halon says:
<PM's Aide> ::Leads the Captain and his entourage in::
XO_Azhure says:
::Tempted to ask the captain for the keys to the shuttle, she turns for the ship and steps inside.::
Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
::looks back to the Doctor:: CMO: Enjoy. 
XO_Azhure says:
::Takes the vessel off standby and lifts off, heading back to the station.::
Host Halon says:
::The Prime Minister looks up from his work and smiles at their guests then stands::
CSO_Ens_Kirkbride says:
::Watches the Doctor go, then turns and follows the others::
Host Halon says:
All: Welcome! Come in! Sit, sit! ::Smiles::
CSec_Lt_Powers says:
::Walks into the office, sizing up the Prime Minister, and his office::
XO_Azhure says:
::Glances down at the onboard map and notes the time back to the station.::
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
::Heads along with the others. Smiles at the Prime Minister:: Halon: Thank you, sir. ::Enjoying the hospitality, Deegan gleefully takes a seat::
Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
Halon: Prime Minister.... Captain M'Tor... Commanding Officer Abertura Station :: waves his hand behind him:: My crew.
CSO_Ens_Kirkbride says:
:: Glances around the room looking for anything that may have a logging system attached to it::
Host Halon says:
ACTION: The XO's shuttle begins to shake violently, tossing all from side to side. The XO bumps her head and loses consciousness.
AMO_Jinxx says:
@::stands in the center of the corridor, one hand on her hip the other holding an important looking paper:: Self: Now where did the Captain get to?
Host Halon says:
::Bows to the crew::
XO_Azhure says:
::As she enters the stations 'space', she informs operations of her approach.::
Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
Halon: Our investigation shows you as a perfect suspect. We have 2 possibilities Sir.... You are guilty... someone wishes us to think you are guilty.
XO_Azhure says:
::In no time she has the aero-shuttle landed and shut down.  Stepping out, she turns it over to the maintenance tech.::
AMO_Jinxx says:
@::walks by several open doors and peer inside:: All: Anyone happen to see the Captain today?
AMO_Jinxx says:
<peers>
CSO_Ens_Kirkbride says:
::Watches the PM as the CO questions him::
XO_Azhure says:
<delete up to action.>
Host Halon says:
ACTION: Shortly before arrival the XO gains consciousness and is able to land.
XO_Azhure says:
@::Setting the station down is a bit dazed, not sure what had just happened.::
CSec_Lt_Powers says:
::Well, at least the Captain is direct::
XO_Azhure says:
<Setting the ship down at the station...>
Host Halon says:
CO: I can assure you that I am not guilty.  ::Smiles and walks around the room inspecting his guests::
Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
Halon: Which theory should we investigate further?
XO_Azhure says:
@::Sits at the console a moment, gathering her wits.::  Computer, what just happened with the aero-shuttle?
AMO_Jinxx says:
@::sees everyone nodding negatively and moves on down the corridor mumbling something about men being afraid of pain and if they gave birth to children...::
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
::Watches on, unsure of what is happening::
Host Halon says:
<Computer> XO: Unknown. Please run a diagnostic for further information.
CSO_Ens_Kirkbride says:
::Watches the PM as he moves around the room. Using various sight lines and known points, tries to get a gauge on his height::
XO_Azhure says:
::Raises an eyebrow::  Computer, run a level 5 diagnostics.
XO_Azhure says:
<@>
Host Halon says:
<Computer> XO: Unable to comply.
XO_Azhure says:
Computer:  Explain why you cannot run a diagnostic?
CSO_Ens_Kirkbride says:
Halon: Do you mind if we record this interview? ::Holds up the tricorder and gives it a shake as if to say 'with this?'::
Host Halon says:
<Computer> XO: Unable to comply.
Host Halon says:
ACTION: The XO's shuttle lands and a flight officer notices the nasty bump and cut on her forehead as she exits.
Host Halon says:
ACTION: The flight officer calls for medical assistance.
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Iu> @ ::Steps out of the shadows:: XO: Commander.
XO_Azhure says:
Flight officer:  I am fine, thank you.  However, you need to find out what is wrong with the computer.  I want a report in my hand within the hour.
XO_Azhure says:
<@>
XO_Azhure says:
@ ::Turns around to see Iu.  Nods in respect to him::  Iu:  It is good to see you.  Your flower is doing well in my garden.
Host Halon says:
::Thinks:: CSO: Not at all.
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Iu> @ XO: It grows with your care and tenderness. It has also led the Mountain to notice change.
Host Halon says:
CSO: Ask anything you wish.
AMO_Jinxx says:
@::gets a com to proceed to the flight pad:: Self: Oh great, another diversion. ::heads out::
CSO_Ens_Kirkbride says:
Halon: Thank you. ::Cracks it open and sweeps the room quickly before resting it on his lap. Pulls up a voice stress algorithm and runs the conversation through it.::
XO_Azhure says:
@::Shakes her head::  Iu: Please explain. ::Reaches up to touch the bump on her head.::
CSO_Ens_Kirkbride says:
Halon: Thank you. I will. ::Smiles::
AMO_Jinxx says:
@::arrives at the flight pad and sees the XO::XO: Ma'am, do you require assistance? :;grins broadly::
CSO_Ens_Kirkbride says:
::Turns his attention back to the tricorder::
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Iu> @ ::Seems to come out of a daze and notices the XO's injury, but says nothing as the MO arrives to help:: XO: Change is in the air. It is not a season. It is not death. It is something else. Currents?
XO_Azhure says:
@ aMO:  You are quick.  I wish other officers were so.  As for assistance, I don't think so, just a bump on the head.
XO_Azhure says:
@Iu:  And these currents lead to or from the mountain?
AMO_Jinxx says:
@XO: Let's just check it out shall we?
XO_Azhure says:
@::nods and patiently stands still.::
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Iu> @ XO: Around it, in it, through all of us.
AMO_Jinxx says:
@Lu: Is there a chair nearby that we could use?
XO_Azhure says:
@Iu:  Was the mountain always here on this world?
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Edit AMO, Lu = Iu>
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Iu> @ XO: The Mountain is this world. And the world is this Mountain. Life is harmonious, Commander. That is not the point of this conversation.
CMO_Jules says:
:: begins looking through the test results ::
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Iu> @ ::Says nothing, although a chair can suddenly be seen behind him::
XO_Azhure says:
@::Nods toward the hangers officer.::  aMO:  There should be one in there.
XO_Azhure says:
@Iu:  I am sorry.  I believe I have missed the point.  ::Seeing the chair takes a seat.::
AMO_Jinxx says:
@::pulls her med kit from around her waist and opens it pulling out a tricorder:: XO: Now let me take a look.
Host Halon says:
::Turns to the CO:: CO: I believe there are others that are attempting to discredit my party and myself.
Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
Halon: Do you have names?
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Iu> @ XO: Your Captain seeks protection of you all. Some have doubted his ability to care, to be nothing more than a warrior. Yet he tries to ensure your safety in his future absence.
AMO_Jinxx says:
@::runs the tricorder over the bump on the XO's head:: XO: Hmmmm.
CSO_Ens_Kirkbride says:
::Watches the voice stress analysis at Halon answers::
Host Halon says:
CO: The Eylan party or a member there in for example.
AMO_Jinxx says:
@::looks over at lu and raises an eyebrow::
XO_Azhure says:
@::Opens her eyes to look at the doctor::  Iu:  Yes, he does.  But I was not aware that anyone knew of his... future.
Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
Haylon: Fine.... and the leader of the party is?
CSec_Lt_Powers says:
::Thinks.. we need names, someone to investigate::
Host Halon says:
::A bit uncomfortable at that last question:: CO: Harrumph..........well that would be............my brother.
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Iu> @ XO: Life is but a stream. Most of us wade down it only being able to look just around the bend, and see little far back from where we came. There are some, however, than stand on a cliff above ... seeing the whole river.
AMO_Jinxx says:
@XO: Please stop talking for a moment Commander. You are raising your blood pressure with every word.
CMO_Jules says:
:: eyes go wide, taps her com badge :: *CO* Sir, I have some very interesting results here.
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
::Blinks::
Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
::shakes head:: Halon: You are accusing your brother of framing you for murder by committing these crimes?
XO_Azhure says:
@::Sighs::  Iu:  I can see forward, not behind.  That is not my gift.
XO_Azhure says:
<cannot>
Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
*CMO*: One moment Doctor... Halon: Continue please...
AMO_Jinxx says:
@:;runs the test again:: XO: Commander!
CSO_Ens_Kirkbride says:
::Thinks: A family dynasty?::
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Iu> @ XO: Is that a fact? ::Momentary pause:: You had wondered how anyone knew of the Captain's future. I have answered that.
XO_Azhure says:
@::Eyes the doctor::  aMO:  My blood pressure?  By talking?  ::Both eyebrows reach for her brow.::
AMO_Jinxx says:
@XO: Ma'am, you know that you are giving women a bad name with all that chattering. ::shakes her head::
XO_Azhure says:
@Iu:  You spoke of your ability to see the past.  Few can see the future... or bits of it.  And that future is never written in stone... thankfully.
AMO_Jinxx says:
@XO: Commander, it is a well-known fact that just speaking raises a person's blood pressure by at least eight points.
Host Halon says:
CO: I don't know who to trust anymore Captain.
XO_Azhure says:
@aMO:  I am not chattering, I am learning.
Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
::shakes head:: Halon: You are accusing your brother of framing you for murder by committing these crimes?
CSO_Ens_Kirkbride says:
::Raises and eyebrow and thinks 'I known that feeling'::
Host Halon says:
CO: Like I said I don't know whom to trust. Not even my own brother unfortunately.
XO_Azhure says:
@aMO:  Among some people or situation, it is calming.
Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
Halon: What is your brother's name?
CMO_Jules says:
:: picks up the PADD and heads to where the Captain is ::
AMO_Jinxx says:
@::rolls her eyes:: XO: Well it seems that your bump is just that a bump. It will be sore for a few days, but I can give you something for the pain.
Host Halon says:
CO: Ryton.
XO_Azhure says:
@aMO:  No thank you.  I do not take medication unless I must.  If I need any, I will let you or someone in sickbay know.
AMO_Jinxx says:
@::whips out a hypo:: XO: You would rather suffer the pain?
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Iu> @ XO: Perhaps the truth is that there are many stones.
XO_Azhure says:
@aMO:  That is my choice.  You would be wise to except that.
Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
Halon: And you are claiming that Ryton is the murderer. I shall see if the physical evidence supports your claims.
AMO_Jinxx says:
@XO: Have you been speaking to the Captain lately? He seems to share your feelings about medication.
XO_Azhure says:
@Iu:  Many pathways.  ::Smiles and stands up.::  Would you like to visit my garden?  It has changed much since last you saw it.
Host Halon says:
CO: I'm saying I don't know Captain. I mean how could a gentle botanist like my brother kill 18 people?
CMO_Jules says:
:: walks into the PM's Office ::
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Iu> @ XO: Certainly.
XO_Azhure says:
@aMO:  Maybe it is requirement for command?  ::Smiles::  Honestly doctor, few of your medications work well with me.  And I truly do not like taking medication unless it is dire.  I am not in that spot yet.
CMO_Jules says:
CO: Sir, this is important.  :: brandishes the PADD ::
Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
CMO: Doctor... what does the physical evidence tell us about the murders?
Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
::takes PADD and reads::
AMO_Jinxx says:
@:;turns and grins at lu:: lu: Perhaps you?....
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Iu> @ MO: Hmmm?
XO_Azhure says:
@::Turns to head up the stairs, knowing Iu will handle the doctor well.::
AMO_Jinxx says:
@XO: Well at least get some rest.
CMO_Jules says:
CO: Sir, I found a toxin that reacts at the cellular level.  Botanists use it to kill insects.
AMO_Jinxx says:
@lu: Now lu, when was your last checkup? ::smiles again::
CMO_Jules says:
CO:  It is also lethal to Haisains and is almost undetectable.
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Iu> @ ::Steps past the MO:: MO: I do not grow sick. Or hurt. The Mountain provides.
Host Halon says:
::The Prime Minister's ears perk up and he gets a look of dread on his face::
XO_Azhure says:
@::Climbs up the stairs and heads inside the building and toward the back.::
XO_Azhure says:
<towards>
AMO_Jinxx says:
@::moves closer:: lu: Never been sick?
Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
CMO: Botanist?  Interesting... that is sufficient evidence to bring in this Ryton for questioning CSEC: See to it.
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Iu> @ ::Keeps walking:: MO: That is correct.
Host Halon says:
CMO: What kind of toxin exactly?
CSec_Lt_Powers says:
::Pauses for a moment and looks between the Captain and the PM::  CO: Well, Captain, it's not really our jurisdiction.  Local law enforcement would have to.
CSO_Ens_Kirkbride says:
CMO: Was this toxin involved in the deaths? Or was it a trace left by accidental contact?
AMO_Jinxx says:
@lu: Most unusual. I would like to do some testing on you. Your immune system must be remarkable.
CMO_Jules says:
Halon:  It is an insecticide.
XO_Azhure says:
@::Waits for the other two to join her before opening the doors to the outdoor garden.::
AMO_Jinxx says:
<immune>
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Iu> @ MO: There is nothing remarkable about me.
CMO_Jules says:
CSO:  It is only found in the cells of 4 of the dead.
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Iu> @ ::Reaches the XO::
CSO_Ens_Kirkbride says:
CMO: The four that are different from the other 14?
XO_Azhure says:
@::Nods for the two to enter ahead of her, wanting to see Iu's reaction.::
Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
CSEC: Contact them and give them the evidence... be present at the questioning.
CMO_Jules says:
Halon:  It is termed Eronge 12.  I discovered it after speaking with the medical examiner.
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Iu> @ ::Enters the garden, a light smile creeping onto his face:: XO: You have faired more well than I was led to believe. The Mountain will provide well this harvest.
AMO_Jinxx says:
@:;follows along intrigued by lu's physical makeup now::
CMO_Jules says:
CSO:  Yes, the 4 whom I could not determine the cause of death.
Host Halon says:
::Looks very uncomfortable:: All: Actually I am afraid that more than questioning may be in order for my brother.
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
Halon: Why is that dear sir?
XO_Azhure says:
@::Smiles with pride::  Iu:  Thank you Iu.  I hope so.
CSO_Ens_Kirkbride says:
::Wonders if there might be two murderers here. One piggybacking on the crimes of the other?::
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Iu> @ ::Stares at the plants:: XO: You will miss him.
Host Halon says:
CVO: That is a very rare toxin and strictly controlled in our territory.
CSec_Lt_Powers says:
::Doesn't like this at all... it sounds like the PM knew of this, and just didn't take action::
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
Halon: But your territory is new ... isn't it possible that it could have been acquired elsewhere?
AMO_Jinxx says:
@::looks around at the garden:: XO: Very nice Commander, not to my liking but not bad.
Host Halon says:
All: My brother was the only one with access to enough to kill 4 humans.
XO_Azhure says:
@Iu:  Yes, I will.  I have known him for many years.  This was a perfect placement for him, but life moves on and it was not meant to be for him to grow roots here.
Host Halon says:
CVO: It his highly unlikely.
Host Halon says:
CO: I am afraid you have enough evidence to take my brother into custody. ::Bows head in shame::
XO_Azhure says:
@aMO:  Pity... but should you find you need a place of peace, I believe you might find it here.
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Iu> @ XO: He is warrior born. There will be a time when all will wish he had stayed. Perhaps when that time comes, he will return.
CMO_Jules says:
Halon:  I would suggest seeing how many botanists are able to get hold of this toxin.
Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
::growls softly:: Self: I hate family matters.
CSO_Ens_Kirkbride says:
::Tap out "Two Murderers?" on his padd and passes it to Powers::
AMO_Jinxx says:
@::walks a few steps and starts sneezing:: All: Darn, there they go again.
XO_Azhure says:
@Iu:  Perhaps... ::Frowns::  The one to come... he has been through much.  He will bring experience with him.
Host Halon says:
ACTION: The investigation of the crew has lead to the evidence that was needed to find the real murder, the Prime Ministers brother Ryton of the Eylan party.
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Iu> @ XO: Life is full of experience.
XO_Azhure says:
@::Frowns::  aMO:  Curious... the plants where chosen with allergies in mind.  I guess there is something here that your system finds irritating.
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Iu> @ XO: The day one is conceived they are experienced.
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Iu> @ ::Turns and moves to exit:: XO: No, she is pregnant. MO: It will be a girl. ::Does his disappearing act::
AMO_Jinxx says:
@::turns and heads towards the door:: XO: I have a rare aversion to plants. lu: What?
XO_Azhure says:
@Iu:  True... but how one deals with... ::Realizing he is not there any more turns to verify that.::
XO_Azhure says:
@::Then turns to look at the doctor with a smile::  aMO:  Congratulations.
Host Halon says:
ACTION: In the coming months the further investigation proves that Ryton did indeed murder the 18 people out of political ambition. The first 4 were killed with poison but due to impatience and greed Ryton needed a quicker method and resorted to violence.
Host Halon says:
