MISSION PROLOGUE: At Pi Mensae III-A, strange events have taken place.  The CSO and CTO wandered off, ignoring the communications of their crewmembers, ending up in a cave with Professor Selok and his assistant.  Once assembled, they experienced a holographic show - a message from the past.  Released from their control, they all watched in amazement, recording what they could for analysis later.  The Captain and CIV have now come to their "rescue."  And now, the thrilling conclusion to "The Body Snatchers of Pi Mensae"

<<<<<Begin Mission>>>>>

CTO_Turnbull says:
::scanning everything he can, amazed at what he's seeing::  CSO:  Are you getting all this?
CIV_Ryan says:
::Standing on the other side of the rock slide dusting herself off after blasting a hole through it with her phaser.  Sees the CTO, CSO and two Vulcans sitting by a campfire:: CO: Looks like we found what we were looking for, Sir.  ::Nods towards the group::
CTO_Turnbull says:
CO:  Sir!  This is most impressive!
CIV_Ryan says:
::Moves towards the group by the fire::
Host CO_Madred says:
::comes through the rubble of the cave-in, brushing off his uniform and sees the gathered group with their fire:: CSO/CTO: Report Commander Turnbull ... Tsalea.
CSO_Tsalea says:
::Nods her head, listening to each word carefully::
Host CO_Madred says:
::walks forward with Ryan eyeing the fire warily::
XO_Amendoeira says:
#::sits in the Ready room, reading over the latest reports on the Romulan Government::
CTO_Turnbull says:
CO:  Captain.  The CSO and I were under some kind of alien influence...
CSO_Tsalea says:
::Turns slowly to look at her husband curiously as she processes what had just occurred::
CIV_Ryan says:
::Spits dirt from her mouth::
CTO_Turnbull says:
CO:  I believe this holographic head said "bacteria," which would fit our earlier scans.
Host CO_Madred says:
::frowns at his wife and Chief Tactical Officer:: CTO: MmmHmm ... and I suppose you're magically not under this influence any longer?
CSO_Tsalea says:
CO:  I would not say magically, but that the affect is slowly wearing off.
Host Prof_Selok says:
::Standing off to the side with his aide, quietly looking around::
Host CO_Madred says:
::looks at the gathered scientists:: CSO: I just can't take you anywhere can I, Tsalea? ::shakes his head::
CTO_Turnbull says:
CO:  I do not seem to be.  Interestingly, I do have complete recollection of my actions while I was under external control.  It affected our logic centers and filled us with an unexplainable desire to get to this cavern.
CSO_Tsalea says:
::Both eyebrows raise::  CO:  Better me then another.  But I am finding an aspect of all of this very perturbing.
Host CO_Madred says:
CTO/CSO: And what do you have to say for yourselves?
CIV_Ryan says:
::Looks at the Vulcan scientists then the CTO then the CSO and then the CO::
Host CO_Madred says:
::loudly:: CSO: Perturbing? Tell me about it!
Host Prof_Selok says:
::His eyes catch slight movement in what he thought was a bundle of clothing::  All: Excuse me, sirs.  Could one of you provide assistance?
CSO_Tsalea says:
::Turns to look at the CTO::  CTO:  For technology so long ago, this seems extraordinarily sophisticated... beyond what they should have possessed.  ::Looks at her husband::  Assuming history is correct.
Host CO_Madred says:
CIV: Check them out ... are they who we were coming for? ::points at the other Vulcans::
CTO_Turnbull says:
CO:  Sir, I believe this holographic head has given us some kind of answer to that...
CIV_Ryan says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Turns and walks towards Professor Selok:: Professor: Lead on, Sir.  ::Motions with her hand::

ACTION: The two Vulcan professors of archeology begin digging at the "pile" and come up with a Betazoid, the missing member of their team.  She appears to be on the edge of consciousness

Host CO_Madred says:
CSO/CTO: I don't think the two of you have quite a clear picture of what's been going on here. You haven't exactly been firing on all thrusters...
CTO_Turnbull says:
CO:  It was in ancient Vulcan, so my understanding is not complete, but it seemed to indicate he biogenetically engineered the bacteria we found for just that purpose.
CIV_Ryan says:
::Stands back as the Vulcans dig and drag out a Betazoid:: Vulcans: Are you from the original archeological team?
CSO_Tsalea says:
CO:  Agreed to the extent of how you saw things.  However...  our memories are intact, as are we.  We are still processing what had occurred.
Host Prof_Selok says:
CIV: Yes.  I am Selok, and this is T'Var.  And she is Ala Chian...
Host CO_Madred says:
CSO: I hope you'll understand if I don't exactly take your word for that.
CIV_Ryan says:
::Nods to the Professor:: Professor: Can you explain what happened here?
CTO_Turnbull says:
CO/CSO:  Indeed.  Sir, if you require it I will submit to a mind meld with Commander Amendoeira.
CSO_Tsalea says:
CO:  Considering what has occurred, no offense is taken.  We will have ourselves submitted to sickbay for a physical to determine if any of the virus remains in our system.
Host CO_Madred says:
CSO/CTO: I was thinking more like an examination with Doctor Causegrave...
CTO_Turnbull says:
CO:  Of course, Captain.  I regret my conduct has caused you irritation, sir.  At least it caused no harm.
Host Prof_Selok says:
::Shakes his head::  CIV: No, not beyond what your crewmates have told you.  I know that I and my associate have been here for a long time now, as has she.  ::Points to the Betazoid::  You may want to check on her.
Host CO_Madred says:
CTO: You forgot about Mister Mushgrave ... who should be going into surgery right about now.
CIV_Ryan says:
::Pulls a PADD from her belt and checks the list of names of the original archeological team::
CTO_Turnbull says:
CO:  Sir, I did not cause that harm.  That was a random event of tectonics.
CSO_Tsalea says:
CO:  That was not caused by anything we did.  ::Looks around the room.  Quietly::  I am glad you are unharmed.
Host CO_Madred says:
All: Well ... do we have any reason to stay here? Perhaps you'd like to continue to try to communicate with the Big Giant Head? Or can we get out of these caves and head for the surface?
CIV_Ryan says:
Professor: We have medical facilities aboard the ship.  If we can move her, we can transport her up to the ship.
CSO_Tsalea says:
CO:  I do not believe we will get any more information at this time.  An archaeological team can continue it at a later date.
CIV_Ryan says:
::Finds their names on the list then slides the PADD back into her belt:: Professor: Allow me to assist you.  ::Bends over and hefts the Betazoid over her shoulder::
Host Prof_Selok says:
::Stops in mid-pickup::  CIV: As you wish
XO_Amendoeira says:
#::taps his fingers on the table... wondering why there hasn't been any news from the Surface::
Host CO_Madred says:
::nods in agreement:: CSO: All right then... CIV: Ryan, what's your status?
CTO_Turnbull says:
CO:  I could attempt it.  It is extremely advanced by our standards, and is at least 5000 years old.
Host CO_Madred says:
CTO: I'll quite happily leave that for a non-Vulcan to look into Commander Turnbull.
CIV_Ryan says:
::Nods to the Professor:: Professor: Follow me.  ::Walks towards the CO, shifting the Betazoid on her shoulder:: CO: Their names are on the list, Sir.  However without a DNA scan, we can't be certain these are the people we're looking for.  I need to get his one back to the ship, Sir.  She needs medical attention.
CTO_Turnbull says:
CO:  ::nods::  Completely understandable sir.
CSO_Tsalea says:
CO:  I will return with Ryan.
Host CO_Madred says:
::watches the CIV, waiting for a response:: CIV: Good enough for me. Let's get these folks to the surface and then back to the ship ... our Romulan deadline is just about up.
CSO_Tsalea says:
::Saying nothing further, heads toward the entrance to the cave and awaits the others::
Host CO_Madred says:
::corrects his wife:: CSO: We'll all return with Ryan... ::looks around the cave as he backs out:: ...I have a feeling none of this is going anywhere.
CIV_Ryan says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Heads for the hole in the rock slide then bends down, laying the Betazoid on the cave floor.  ::Crawls through the hole then reaches back in, grabbing the Betazoid by her hands and dragging her through the hole::
CTO_Turnbull says:
CO:  ::nods again::  Shall I resume point, Captain?
Host CO_Madred says:
::attaches a transponder to the rock face as he heads out, so they can find the right chamber later, and head into the tunnel:: CTO: Just stay behind me, Mister Turnbull ... I want you where I can keep an eye on you.
CSO_Tsalea says:
::Slips through the hole behind the Betazoid::
CIV_Ryan says:
::Pulls the Betazoid clear of the hole, hefts her back onto her shoulder and continues back to the cave entrance, following the paint markers on the wall::
XO_Amendoeira says:
#*OPS* : Lt... Any communication with the AT?
CTO_Turnbull says:
CO:  ::smirks::  Aye captain.  But that would be in front of you.  ::follows the CO::
Host Prof_Selok says:
::Exits through the hole with T'Var, who has remained quiet::
Host CO_Madred says:
CTO: Haven't you learned by now that all Captain's have eyes in the back of their heads?
CIV_Ryan says:
::Thinks: At least this one is a lot lighter than the last one I carried out of here::
CTO_Turnbull says:
CO:  ::innocent face::  Really sir?  I didn't know that...
Host CO_Madred says:
::without turning around:: CTO: Yes ... and stop making that look with your face.
CIV_Ryan says:
::Picks up the pace slightly as she sees the cave entrance ahead::
CSO_Tsalea says:
::Waiting for the CTO and CO to come through::
CTO_Turnbull says:
CO:  Aye sir.  ::stifles outright laughter and takes up rearguard position::
CIV_Ryan says:
::Exits the cave, lays the Betazoid on the ground then taps her COM badge:: *PG*: Ryan to Paula Greene, two to beam directly to sickbay.
CSO_Tsalea says:
::As the two of them come through, she takes her position, just slightly ahead of her husband, nodding to Turnball who is behind him.::
Host PG_OPS says:
#*CIV*: You'll have to head a little further out of the caverns, ma'am.
Host PG_OPS says:
#*XO*: Contact with the away team, sir.  We're going to have medical cases coming in.
CTO_Turnbull says:
::nods to CSO::  All clear, Commander.  ::motions for her to go ahead with her husband::
XO_Amendoeira says:
#*OPS* : What? ::gets up and runs into the bridge:: *CO* : Jafo... Do you have injured?
Host PG_OPS says:
#::Looks at the XO, and figures he'll get his answers soon enough::
CIV_Ryan says:
::Looks around:: *PG*: I am just OUTSIDE the cavern!  ::Mumbles:: Damn.  ::Drags the Betazoid from under her arms and drags her completely clear of the cavern::
CTO_Turnbull says:
::keeps silent though he hears the comm from the XO::
CSO_Tsalea says:
::With long strides, heads out of the caves, not looking back::
Host CO_Madred says:
::exits the caves and taps his commbadge:: *XO*: Aye ... we've recovered the archaeological team and we have one injured. Transporter when ready.
Host Prof_Selok says:
CIV: When we arrive at a sufficient point, perhaps all of us should beam up to Sickbay and make certain we are not still infected.
CTO_Turnbull says:
::exits the caves just behind the CO::
CIV_Ryan says:
::Glances at the Professor:: Professor: Yeah, IF we ever get beamed up!  ::Grumbles::
Host PG_OPS says:
#*CIV*: Pardon, ma'am.  I misread your commbadge location.  I'm reading seven life signs.  Locking on now.
CTO_Turnbull says:
CO:  Sir, I recommend biohazard transport procedures and to keep Vulcan staff and Romulan visitors away until you can clear us.
XO_Amendoeira says:
#::nods to himself:: *CO* : Alright.: As soon as you're clear f the caves.. *OPS* : Beam them up... And send the injured directly to sickbay. The rest, have them beamed ot the bridge. I think we need to start heading out of Romulan space.
CIV_Ryan says:
*PG*: Ryan to....::Is cut off mid sentence::
CIV_Ryan says:
::Thinks: Good thing we're not in a battle situation::

ACTION: The away team is beamed up.  Professors Selok and T'Var, Ala Chian, and the CIV arrive in Sickbay.  The CTO, CSO, and CO arrive on the Bridge.

CTO_Turnbull says:
::shocked at finding himself on the bridge::
CIV_Ryan says:
::Rematerializes in Sickbay and helps the medics put the Betazoid on a biobed::
CSO_Tsalea says:
::Looks around and turns to the captain::  CO:  Permission to head for sickbay with the CTO?
XO_Amendoeira says:
::watches as the AT materializes:: All : You all don't look so good..
CIV_Ryan says:
::Turns and approaches the scientists:: Professors: Please have a seat, Sirs.  ::Points to the empty biobeds::
Host CO_Madred says:
::materailizes on the bridge and looks around with a frown:: CTO/CSO: Negative... OPS: Transport the Commanders to sickbay. I don't want them having any more contact with the crew than necessary.
CTO_Turnbull says:
CO:  Sir, we have to quarantine all Vulcan or Romulan staff on the bridge.  We have just exposed them to an unknown bacteria...
Host PG_OPS says:
::Nods, and types in the commands::
Host CO_Madred says:
::taps his commbadge:: *CEO*: Chief Burke, I want the transporters taken offline and examined for any signs of remaining bacteria right away.

ACTION: The CSO and CTO transport site to site to Sickbay

XO_Amendoeira says:
CO : What? ::hears the comm to the CEO:: Uh oh..

ACTION: Professors Selok and T'Var take seats.

CIV_Ryan says:
::Watches as the Vulcans hop up onto the biobeds::
Host CO_Madred says:
::looks around the bridge:: CTO: I don't see any Vulcans or Romulans except you two.... ::watches them dematerialize:: ...and the XO. OPS: Him too! ::hooks his thumb at the XO::
CTO_Turnbull says:
::materializes in sickbay::  
CSO_Tsalea says:
::As the arrive at sickbay, she looks around for the doctor::
Host PG_OPS says:
::Eyes go wide as he thinks the CO might put him on waste duty soon::
CIV_Ryan says:
::Watches as the CSO and CTO materialize in Sickbay::

ACTION: The XO is beamed site to site to Sickbay

XO_Amendoeira says:
CO : What do you mean.. Him... ::dematerializes:: Too?
XO_Amendoeira says:
All : Alright.. What's going on here?
CTO_Turnbull says:
CSO:  Looks a bit deserted.  ::sees the XO beam in::
CSO_Tsalea says:
::nods to Tealk::  XO:  Welcome Commander
Host CO_Madred says:
::smiles, sighs, and settles into his command chair with a little smile on his face::
XO_Amendoeira says:
CSO : Tsalea, What happened down there?
CIV_Ryan says:
::Sees the XO rematerialize in Sickbay:: Self: It's getting crowded in here.  ::Moves out of the way::
CSO_Tsalea says:
CTO:  Perhaps we should take our places in the quarantine room for now, before we possibly contaminate others.
XO_Amendoeira says:
CSO : Quarantine?
CIV_Ryan says:
XO: Sir, you are in good hands here.  I will be on the Bridge.
CTO_Turnbull says:
XO:  Sir, we were exposed to a bacteria that affects all people of Vulcan or Romulan heritage.  effects were unknown, and could compel us to do things.  CSO:  A capital idea.  ::heads to the quarantine room::
CSO_Tsalea says:
::With a nod to Tealk, follows Turnbull::
CTO_Turnbull says:
Computer:  Activate the EMH.
CIV_Ryan says:
::Turns then walks swiftly out of Sickbay to a turbolift and enters:: TL: Bridge.  ::Wipes her brow with her left sleeve::
XO_Amendoeira says:
CTO : Oooh.. Right.. ::follows them both:: Why didn't you say something when i contacted you?
CSO_Tsalea says:
::Opening the doors, slips through to take a seat::
CTO_Turnbull says:
Computer:  When the XO and CSO are here, activate level 10 biohazard protocols and seal us in here.
CTO_Turnbull says:
XO:  Sir, there was no time.   We were beamed up quickly.
Host EMH says:
::Materializes::  CTO: Please state the nature of the medical emergency
Host Prof_Selok says:
::Follows along::
CTO_Turnbull says:
EMH:  The three of us have been exposed to a contagious mind-altering bacteria.  We need decontamination.
XO_Amendoeira says:
::nods:: CTO : Well.. I had a reason for that...
XO_Amendoeira says:
CTO : Things are not going well in the Romulan Empire..
CIV_Ryan says:
::Exits the TL and remembers she doesn't have a bridge station any longer so she walks down the ramp to the command deck:: CO: Sir, Sickbay is....well, is crowded, Sir.  If you won't be needing me, I think I'll go get cleaned up.  ::Indicates her dirty uniform::
CTO_Turnbull says:
XO:  Of course, commander.  I mean no disrespect.  I would like to be at my station at this moment as well.
XO_Amendoeira says:
CTO : They look very close to civil war...
Host EMH says:
::Looks at the CTO:: CTO: I'm the doctor here, I'll tell you what you need.  ::Scans them one by one::
CTO_Turnbull says:
XO:  It may be an effect of the bacteria.  
Host CO_Madred says:
::nods at Ryan as she comes off the turbolift:: CIV: Excellent, Ryan ... why don't you take the helm. I could use an experience pilot right about now.
CSO_Tsalea says:
::Sitting patiently in the chair, listens to the two men::
CTO_Turnbull says:
EMH:  Of course, Doctor.  ::lets the doctor scan him::
CIV_Ryan says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Sits down at the helm, wiping her hands on her uniform before placing them onto the console::
Host CO_Madred says:
OPS: Notify Starfleet of our status and situation. Also, suggest that they request access for a research team. We're now heading out of Romulan space.
Host CO_Madred says:
CIV: When you're ready, set course for Federation space, Warp 5.
Host EMH says:
::After scanning all of them::  All: You all are carrying an unknown pathogen, but it is completely inert.  You appear to not be under any sort of alien control.
XO_Amendoeira says:
::chuckles:: CTO : Nonsense... Their entire Senate was killed... The new Praetor, from what I've heard... Well, let's just say he isn't very fond of the Federation..
CTO_Turnbull says:
XO/CSO:  Do we know if a Romulan team had been down to the planet?
CIV_Ryan says:
::Checks the status before laying in a course for Federation space:: CO: Aye, Sir, course laid in.
XO_Amendoeira says:
CTO : If we believe the Golden Shield's captain's report.. NO.
CTO_Turnbull says:
XO:  Entire Senate?  Even I wouldn't have been able to pull that off... ::realizes he's talking too much and shuts up::
CSO_Tsalea says:
CTO: There was no mention in the report.
CSO_Tsalea says:
EMH:  Are we carriers?
CIV_Ryan says:
::Waits to hear the magic word before engaging engines::
Host CO_Madred says:
CIV: Engage...
Host EMH says:
CSO: Carriers... in a way.
CTO_Turnbull says:
CSO:  Well, assume we can rule out the bacteria...if that's true, we need to "get out of Dodge: as the saying goes.
CIV_Ryan says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Engages engines:: Here we go, Sir!

ACTION: The Paula Greene breaks orbit and warps away towards Federation space.

CSO_Tsalea says:
EMH:  Explain
CTO_Turnbull says:
EMH:  Can the bacteria be purged from our systems?
Host EMH says:
CSO: This pathogen is completely inert.  It is causing you no harm, but your body is not rejecting it, since it seems to have some genetic markers indicating it as regular Vulcan or Romulan cells.  CTO: It can be purged from your system by a complete blood filtration, but it's no doing you any harm at this time.
Host CO_Madred says:
::misses Mushgrave at the Operations Console and eyes the back of this new persons head warily::
CIV_Ryan says:
::Feels something in her boot.  Starts banging her heel on the deck, trying not to look too obvious::
Host PG_OPS says:
::Wonders if the CO is checking her out or looking to put her pretty head through the console.  She decides to not turn around, only watch his reflection in the console::
XO_Amendoeira says:
::raises an eyebrow:: EMH : As much as i don't like the sound of that... This bacteria may be dangerous in the future..
XO_Amendoeira says:
EMH : I don't want us carrying it, and possibly infecting any more Romulans and Vulcans with it
CTO_Turnbull says:
XO/CSO:  How do you want to do this?  I'm for getting this out of our system as fast as possible.  Look how fast it spread to the XO.  It's designer had unknown intentions.  I think we should purge it.
Host EMH says:
XO: I suppose it's possible, although I don't see how it was ever dangerous.  Maybe you're still under alien influence...
XO_Amendoeira says:
EMH  Excuse me?
Host EMH says:
CTO: This bacteria isn't spreading at all.  It will die outside of a host.
CTO_Turnbull says:
EMH:  We didn't know we were under any influence until we were released from its control.  that is an interesting hypothesis.
Host EMH says:
::Stares at the XO::  XO: Or not.  You seem to be your usual cheery self.
CTO_Turnbull says:
EMH:  Does the XO have the pathogen?
Host EMH says:
CTO: Yes.  All of you in this room do.
CTO_Turnbull says:
XO:  were you at any point on the surface?
XO_Amendoeira says:
EMH : Can you scan the crew's compliment to see who else is infected?
XO_Amendoeira says:
CTO : Of course.. I was there with you before you went into the caves..
Host EMH says:
XO: I can scan those who are in Sickbay.  ::Disappears from the containment area::
CTO_Turnbull says:
XO:  So you were.  All right, I concede the point.  Were any other Vulcan crewmen on the surface?
XO_Amendoeira says:
::shakes head:: *CO* : Jafo.. I think you need to send every Vulcan/Romulan or descendants into sickbay to check for infection...
CSO_Tsalea says:
XO/CTO:  I agree and I would believe the captain would too.  As long as we carry this pathagen, he will not give his complete trust of us.
Host EMH says:
::Rematerializes::  XO: No one else in Sickbay has this, except for the Operations officer.  It is slowly decaying in her body
CTO_Turnbull says:
CO:  and he would be right.  This pathogen must be removed as soon as possible.
Host EMH says:
::Looks at the XO, wondering when he asked for extra work::
CTO_Turnbull says:
Self:  the Operations Officer?
Host EMH says:
::Scans the XO again::  XO: Curious that it's not decaying in your body.
XO_Amendoeira says:
EMH : I've always been the lucky one in that aspect..
CTO_Turnbull says:
EMH:  The XO is part Vulcan.  Proceed on the hypothesis that the pathogen affects only those of Vulcan or Romulan descent.
CIV_Ryan says:
::Can't stand it any longer.  Turns in the seat and pulls her boot off, tipping it upside down.  A small shinny rock drops to the deck.  Puts her boot back on then picks up the shinny rock and inspects it, holding it up to the light::
Host EMH says:
CTO: Assuming that... anyone not with Vulcan or Romulan genes... their bodies recognize it as something not of their own body, and are slowly eliminating it.
Host CO_Madred says:
::looks up from reading a report and smirks at the CIV:: CIV: Pebble for your thoughts?
CTO_Turnbull says:
EMH:  and thus we would need to be purged to be rid of it.  Proceed on the basis that this pathogen is biological warfare.
CIV_Ryan says:
::Looks to the CO then back to the rock:: CO: Looks like a diamond, Sir.  I'll have science take a look at it.  ::Puts the rock in her pocket::

ACTION: Ship's sensors begin to pick up two Starfleet vessels waiting on the Federation side of the Romulan Neutral Zone.

CSO_Tsalea says:
EMH: If you are incapable of finding the relative antidote, I will assist you in this.
CTO_Turnbull says:
CSO:  If I may be of assistance...I do have some free time.
Host EMH says:
::Looks at the XO::  XO: She can help me with an antidote, or I could set up purge systems for the five of you.  Which is it?
CIV_Ryan says:
::Hears the console beeping:: CO: Sir, two Starfleet vessels on the edge of the neutral zone.
CSO_Tsalea says:
::nods::  CTO:  Your assistance would be welcomed.
Host CO_Madred says:
CIV: Do that ... with one that size you could probably buy you're own shuttlecraft from some unwitting Ferengi.
Host CO_Madred says:
OPS: Hail them....
CSO_Tsalea says:
EMH:  Are we free then to move about the ship?
Host PG_OPS says:
::Nervously::  CO: Aye.  Channel open.
CTO_Turnbull says:
CSO:  Then tell me where you'd like to start.  And one of us should fill in the Captain on our progress.
Host CO_Madred says:
COM: Federation Vessels: This is Captain Madred of the Paula Greene. To what do we owe the pleasure of your company?
Host EMH says:
CSO: I can't think of why not.  So long as you don't share blood with other Vulcans, there should be no spreading.
Host CO_Madred says:
::as he waits for a reply, idly thinks that he and Tsalea should have never returned from their vacation::
CTO_Turnbull says:
EMH:  Check your logic circuit.  I shared no blood with any Vulcans and I was still affected.
XO_Amendoeira says:
::considers::
CSO_Tsalea says:
EMH:  We will refrain from blood sacrifices.
Host Captain_Thorn says:
@COM: Paula Greene: Paula Greene, this is Captain Thorn of the USS Fox.  We were ordered to wait here for your return.
CSO_Tsalea says:
CTO:  I would suggest my labs, which are well equipped.
CSO_Tsalea says:
::Looks at Tealk::
Host EMH says:
CTO: Since I don't have scans on the planet, I cannot say how you picked it up.  I'm just saying you won't pass it.
CTO_Turnbull says:
CSO:  Agreed, Commander.  but as for traipsing through the corridors, I'm uncertain.  but if the Doctor is satisfied, then I will be.
CIV_Ryan says:
::Checks their identities:: CO: Confirmed, Sir.  USS Fox captained by Captain Thorn.
Host CO_Madred says:
::quoting General Douglas MacArthur:: COM: Fox: We have returned...

ACTION: A second communications hail comes in from the Golden Shield, which is still in the Pi Mensae system

XO_Amendoeira says:
EMH: Doctor.. I'm gonna take your word for this.. But.. Consider this.. If you are wrong, I'll have your program sent to the mining colonies of Delva 4... ::eyes him straight:: Understand me?
Host Captain_Thorn says:
@COM: Paula Greene: As you have.  We will wait until you cross, then disperse.
CSO_Tsalea says:
CTO:  There are personal forcefields that we might use.  Or, we can be beamed straight to my labs.
CTO_Turnbull says:
::taps commbadge::  *CO*:  Turnbull to Madred...
Host EMH says:
XO: Actually, I think I am there.  I am everywhere.
Host CO_Madred says:
COM: Fox: Acknowledged.... ::opens the communique from the Golden Shield:: COM: Golden Shield: Yes?
Host Commander_Petra says:
$COM: Paula Greene: Captain.  You made a hasty retreat.  You have what you came for?
XO_Amendoeira says:
::shakes head:: All : Let's just get out of here..
Host CO_Madred says:
COM: Golden Shield: We do, thank you.
CTO_Turnbull says:
::waits for the CO to reply knowing the delay is because he's busy::

$::Simply stares at the Captain::  COM: Paula Greene: You should have no worries getting to the border.  ::Cuts the communication::

*CTO*: The Captain is on the other line, would you care to leave a message, Commander?
Host CO_Madred says:

*CO*:  The EMH has cleared us as carriers, sir.  Commander Tsalea and I are headed to the Science labs to attempt eradication of the pathogen, or at least removal.

::Looks at his associate, who just looks back.  No one told them what to do, nor offered them quarters::  EMH: Can we see Ala?

*CO*:  Understood sir.  I believe we can arrange that.  ::smirks::

::shakes head:: CTO/CSO : I don't want to know...

CTO_Turnbull says:
XO:  Understood sir...  ::laughs::
CTO_Turnbull says:
::follows the CSO to her labs::
