Host Pat_O says:
The Ganymede has docked at Avalon Station. You and the crew are to meet in Auditorium I to commence the Change of Command. Immediately following the ceremonies the Ganymede is to proceed to Alpha Arietis IV with a cargo of serum to aid in fighting a disease that is killing the newborn hatchlings of the Hamalki.

Host Pat_O says:
There is reason to believe that this disease has been introduced to eradicate the Hamalki. You are to investigate this possibility and ascertain the source if possible.

Host Pat_O says:
Since we do not normally see many Hamalki outside of their system we have provided some background data:

Host Pat_O says:
Hamalki: 
Crystalline spider-like beings. Extremely intelligent life form. Reproduction through asexual regeneration producing exact physical and genetic duplicates of the parent.

:: Raises his head from the tactical station, listening intently to the conversation between OPS/FCO. ::

JAG_LT_Vekh says:
CNS: Yes, I assume you may need. I'm intrigued. I heard rumors that this virus might have been engineered to kill them, but they have a peaceful behavior and good relations with UFP. No known enemies to account for.

OPS_Ltjg_Serok says:
FCO:  They were...nice.  Thank you.

CSO_Ray says:
JAG: what have you found out about the Hamalki?

FCO_Harlok says:
:: Grins at Serok and nods:: OPS: Your welcome.

Host CO_Taylor says:
CSO:  I would like to tour the ship.  Are you up to a little spell at the Conn., Mister Ray?

CSO_Ray says:
CO: yes sir

FCO_Harlok says:
CO: Standing at Warp 9. ETA 5 days.

OPS_Ltjg_Serok says:
:: raises eyebrow at FCO::

FCO_Harlok says:
:: frowns as he feels he's forgetting something::

JAG_LT_Vekh says:
CNS: They seem pretty reclusive, a Tholian-like behavior. They seldom leave their system and like Tholians and Horta are not carbon-based life forms

Host CO_Taylor says:
CSO:  In that case, you have the Conn.  FCO:  Excellent, Mister Harlok.  Steady as she goes.

CNS_LT_Ashworth says:
JAG:  It is evident that they might have an enemy somewhere why they are being plagued with this virus which is rare to their species

CNS_LT_Ashworth says:

Host CO_Taylor says:
:: walks toward TL::

FCO_Harlok says:
CO: Aye Sir. :: Feels a chill... like someone is raising his or her eyebrow at him::

CSO_Ray says:
JAG: report.

TO_Ltjg_Silek says:
:: Returns attention to the tactical station ::

Host CO_Taylor says:
:: enters TL::  TL:  Main Engineering.

JAG_LT_Vekh says:
CNS: I agree, Lt. We might attempt to find what the Hamalki’s possess that would interest another species to the point said species would consider killing for it

EO_Ens_Galnen says:
:: Continues to polish, having a grand old time, while the other EO's do other things::

EO_Ens_Galnen says:
:: Begins to run a diagnostic::

CNS_LT_Ashworth says:
JAG:  Agreed

Host CO_Taylor says:
:: exits TL just outside ME and walks unobtrusively through the doors, so that he can watch them at work::

Host CO_Taylor says:

JAG_LT_Vekh says:
:: turns:: CSO: Sir. The CNS and I were reviewing the Hamalki file. It's not extensive, just basic biology, interstellar relations and sociological behavior.

EO_Ens_Galnen says:
:: Continues to run his diagnostic, and checks his results with another officer's::

Host Pat_O says:
Action: Starboard Bussard intake "stutters" causing the ship to falter slightly.

EO_Ens_Galnen says:
*Bridge* We have a problem with the SB Bussard collectors

CSO_Ray says:
*EO*: Report!

JAG_LT_Vekh says:
CSO: Sir, the file says they are rather reclusive and pacific in nature. How serious should we consider the possibility of an intentional infection?

Host CO_Taylor says:
:: remains quiet to see how engineering will handle the shudder::

EO_Ens_Galnen says:
*CSO* I'm looking into it

FCO_Harlok says:
:: Calls up diagnostic reports::

EO_Ens_Galnen says:
:: Presses a few buttons on his master control panel, and checks the screen ::

JAG_LT_Vekh says:
:: feels the shaking::

CSO_Ray says:
FCO: bring us out of warp

EO_Ens_Galnen says:
*CSO* Attempting to isolate and fix the problem

OPS_Ltjg_Serok says:
:: running checks on the ship systems::

EO_Ens_Galnen says:
:: Presses some more buttons::

CSO_Ray says:
*EO*: is it safe to stay at warp?

FCO_Harlok says:
CSO: Aye...:: taps console::: Dropping out of warp.

TO_Ltjg_Silek says:
:: Looks at the tactical sensors, just in case there was an outside interference ::

FCO_Harlok says:
CSO: All stop, Sir?

EO_Ens_Galnen says:
*CSO* I believe so. I'll keep you posted

Host CO_Taylor says:
:: walks up behind the EO::  EO:  Problem, Mister Galnen?

JAG_LT_Vekh says:
:: calls up any other info SF has on the Hamalki, no matter how small::

EO_Ens_Galnen says:
:: Turns around quickly:: CO: I'm sorry sir, I didn't see you there

CSO_Ray says:
FCO: take us back to warp 4 for the moment. I don't want to take any chances

Host CO_Taylor says:
EO:  That's quite all right.  Report.  What seems to be the trouble?

EO_Ens_Galnen says:
CO: We seem to be having a problem with the SB Bussard Collectors. I'm attempting to find the problem now

CNS_LT_Ashworth says:
:: is helping the JAG with his research on the Hamalki::

FCO_Harlok says:
CSO: Aye...:: confirms read outs::: Holding at Warp 4.

Host CO_Taylor says:
EO:  Indeed.  What would cause that?

EO_Ens_Galnen says:
:: Console Beeps::

CSO_Ray says:
OPS: I want you to monitor all subspace communications in the area.

EO_Ens_Galnen says:
CO: Perhaps an overload with the Plasma Intercooler system

JAG_LT_Vekh says:
CNS: Here says they are very placid and interested in academic pursuits. It even hints that Hamalki science rivals Vulcan. Very interesting

EO_Ens_Galnen says:
CO: I believe the Computer has found the problem]

OPS_Ltjg_Serok says:
CSO:  Aye sir:: begins to monitor all subspace communication::

EO_Ens_Galnen says:
:: Pushes a few buttons::

Host CO_Taylor says:
EO:  Indeed.  And that would be...?

CNS_LT_Ashworth says:
JAG: Indeed very intriguing

CSO_Ray says:
TO: take science 2 and find out if there was any anomalies back there

TO_Ltjg_Silek says:
CSO: Of course sir.

JAG_LT_Vekh says:
:: more to himself, but out loud:: Why would someone wish to get rid with this species in particular

EO_Ens_Galnen says:
CO: There seems to be a slight Malfunction with the Opening Mechanism on the Bussard Collectors. I'll just be a moment.

TO_Ltjg_Silek says:
:: Moves to Science 2, transfers the Tactical station to half of Science 2, and begins the scan for anomalies ::

Host CO_Taylor says:
:: taps communicator::  *FCO:*  How will this slowdown affect our ETA, Mister Harlok?

CNS_LT_Ashworth says:
JAG: What was that?

TO_Ltjg_Silek says:
CSO: Scanning Sir. Indications negative at this time.

FCO_Harlok says:
*CO* We're holding at Warp 4 sir... if we can get engines back online...  it'll mean a days delay.

Host CO_Taylor says:
EO:  Fascinating.  Please keep me posted. :: exits ME for his quarters to unpack::

EO_Ens_Galnen says:
:: its more controls:: CO: There, I believe that solved the problem. I rerouted the EPS output through another part of the Collectors. That should keep everything okay.

JAG_LT_Vekh says:
CNS: Sorry, I was just wondering. The Hamalki pose no military threat at all to no one. Why would someone consider killing them? Their only product seems to be their minds:: wonders::

CSO_Ray says:
CNS/Jag: any information on business or trading?

Host CO_Taylor says:
*FCO*:  Understood.  Taylor out.  :: enters TL::  TL:  Deck 8.

CNS_LT_Ashworth says:
JAG:  Okay CSO: I haven't noticed anything yet

JAG_LT_Vekh says:
CSO: No particularly valuable product sir, other than their scientific production.

EO_Ens_Galnen says:
:: Checks the comp. Registry to see what would cause such a malfunction::

JAG_LT_Vekh says:
CSO/CNS: Normal relations with UFP and no known enemy at this time

Host CO_Taylor says:
:: walks into his quarters and looks around::  Self:  Well, now where do I put everything?
