Host ACTD John Sea says:
Resume USS Andromeda "The Rigel Agenda" 10410.24

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*Shipwide* All senior officers to Observation Lounge for a quick meeting.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::on the bridge sitting next to the captain going over some reports from sickbay::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
::Leaves the bridge and enters the OL::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::gets up and follows the Captain to the OL::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::On the bridge, sitting on the XO's chair::

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Enters the OL::

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::gets up from her station and heads for the observation lounge::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::stands up, starts walking towards OL::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
::Sees everyone enter and starts to speak::

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::takes a chair in the room::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Scene: The Bird of Prey slowly tumbles in space venting drive plasma, end over end

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::gets closer to the Captain::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
All: Right now we are facing a tough choice. The pirate ship is standing still, disabled and their crew is not moving at all.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
All: We have three choices.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
All: The first is simply to leave the scene and go back to starbase with the best warp power we can sustain at the moment.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::listens quietly and intently::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
All: The second is to send an away team on the pirate ship and find out what is happening there. It might be important knowledge for Federation.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::stands behind the Captain, a little to the right so the Captain can see him::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
All: The third is to launch a fatal torpedo strike right at the pirate ship effectively destroying the ship, its cargo and its crew.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
All: Opinions?

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
CO: Sir if I may ...

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CSO: Go ahead.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: Captain, I'm for the AT solution.  If you decide that the risk is too great, I say we do not let the pirates unpunished.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
CO: We are in a danger situation. However they are worse than us. Therefore leaving them or killing them would be useless at this point. I believe we should investigate what was their business here

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CNS/CTO: Others?

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
CO: I agree with the XO and the CSO. All the information we can gather could indeed be important for the Federation.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::looks at the XO as he speaks almost at the same time and she did but tries not to be intimidated by it::

CTO Commander Senek says:
CO: I agree with the others. The risk is not too great for us to take.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CNS: What kind of time limits does the medical situation present us?

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CTO: Please prepare a security analysis of the away team. I'll hear it later when we are back on the bridge.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::listens to the others::

CTO Commander Senek says:
CO: Aye.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CSO: report your data and update scans of the pirate ship to the CTO so that he can make tactical analysis.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
CO: I had read a report before entering that due to the effort of the Medical staff the patients can be helped on the Andromeda as long as needed. There is no time limit at this moment and I do not foresee one coming. We have all the time you want Captain.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CNS: Very good.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
XO: Yes sir

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
All: Everyone prepare for an away team. You need at least phasers and scanners. Once I get a more detailed list of equipment, be ready to take them right away.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::nods at the CO::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
All: XO and CNS may already go to the transporter room, I'll discuss details with the CTO and CSO at the bridge.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
CO: Aye sir ::nods::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
All: Dismissed.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::gets up:: CTO: I'll transfer all science sensor data to your console

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::stands up and begins leaving the OL::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::looks at the XO and leaves the OL::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
::Leaves the lounge and enters the bridge::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CNS: Hey Tal, don't forget to pack your knife.  You're quite good with it.

CTO Commander Senek says:
CSO: Good. CO: I advise against all senior staff going on the away mission. This isn't safe enough for that.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::walks beside the XO:: XO: here we go again...Don't worry Rie, I have it on me always. I even have on for you if you want?

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
::Sits on the bridge chair:: CTO: I was thinking that I could leave behind while the rest would go.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CSO: Does the away team need environmental suits or other equipment to ensure their health?

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Walks to the tactical console:: CO: Very well.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::takes her station, nods to the CO then checks current readings::

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Looks through the data given to him by the CSO::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::smiles:: CNS: I'll stick to my bath'leh!

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
CO: Yes Captain, an away team going there will need EVA suits, I am reading a toxic chemical in the BOP's atmosphere

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
XO: Whatever sir ::smiles::

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
CO: Its originating from the cargo hold. And it might explain why the life signs aboard are not moving

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CSO: I see.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CSO/CTO: Well, the requirements are set. Take environmental suits and whatever else you need.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::nods::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*XO* The away team should wear environmental suits. Once you are ready, contact the bridge before beamout.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::makes preparations to have that equipment ready::

CTO Commander Senek says:
CO: The sensors tell us that the pirates are still motionless. I'm not sure if the information can be trusted, and I'd rather err on the side of caution. I'll have a small security team accompany us.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
TO: Take the helm and manoeuvre us to a position where we can safely beam directly to enemy's shuttle bay.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: Aye aye Captain

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CTO: That is fine.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CTO/CSO: But you should now hurry to the transporter room.

AFCO Crewmen Tken says:
CO: Aye sir.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CNS: Tal, you're with me.  Lets get some EVA suits.

AFCO Crewmen Tken says:
::walks quickly to the helm and manoeuvres the ship closer to the Klingon ship::

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Orders a team of four security officers to the TR::

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Enters a TL and heads for the TR::

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::leaves the science 1 for an SO and leaves the bridge::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
XO: Aye, lets get dressed for the party ::smiles again and follows the XO::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The Andromeda moves to an optimum angle for beaming which is at 45 degree angle above the BOP's main impulse array

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::Leaves the TL with the CNS enters the supply room and starts taking out some EVA suits::  CNS: Take this one

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::arrives at the supply room as well, coming from the bridge::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::takes the EVA suit from the XO:: XO: Thanks Rie, seems like the good size

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::nods to the CNS and XO before looking for her stuff::

AFCO Crewmen Tken says:
CO: Sir, we are in position, sir.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Scene: Violently Scorched Hull pieces from both the Andromeda and the Bird of Prey drift aimlessly in local space; evidence of the earlier battle

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Arrives at the TR and takes out a phaser rifle for everyone from the weapon locker::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::dresses up his own EVA suit and looks at the CSO::  CSO: Here you go, I think this one should be your size.  ::points to an EVA suit::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
AFCO: Good. Let's stay in this position until the away team has beamed out.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
XO: Thank you Commander ::picks up the suit and starts dressing it::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*XO* Try to get your team ready as soon as possible.

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Puts on the EVA suit::

AFCO Crewmen Tken says:
CO: Sir, yes sir.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
*CO* Very well, Sir.  Team: You heard the Captain, let's move.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::finishes zipping the suit, grabs her tricorder and hand phaser::

AFCO Crewmen Tken says:
::checks the debris for possible contact::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::puts on his suite and then takes his bag with his equipment in case of an emergency::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::grabs his gear and enters the TR::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Scene: Pieces of the Hull Debris vaporize with momentary brilliant lights as they are repelled by the navigational deflector

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::arrives at the TR with the others::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::enters the TR after the CSO::

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Hands out the rifles for XO, CSO and CNS:: Team: I hope we won't need these, but the chances are quite high.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::takes her position in the padd::

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
CTO: aye sir

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::takes the rifle from the CTO and checks it::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
TEAM: Ok, lets go.  Remember that this all looks very puzzling and it's probably a trap.  CSO: I want you to scan the area, stay alert for false fields.  CTO: I don't need to tell you to keep your eyes open and your finger on the trigger.  It's likely that we are engaged by surprise.  ALL: Keep safe.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
*CO* Captain, we are ready to leave, with your permission.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::takes his position on the Padd as last one::

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::nods to the XO::

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Steps on the transporter pads with the security team after nodding to the XO::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*XO* Permission granted.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
Transporter chief: Energize!

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::waits for her molecules to be deorganized::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
<TC Molecules> All: Shaken and Stirred, Heee heee heee (Molecules isn’t right in the head a couple of atoms short of a molecule)

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The Away Team materializes in the shuttle bay of the Bird of Prey, toxic air swirls about them from burnt wires

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Scene:  Light are flickering red there are 2 pirates on the floor

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
@::her molecules get (luckily) reorganized::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@::materializes and starts looking around taking out his tricorder::

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
@::opens her tricorder and starts canning::

CTO Commander Senek says:
@<Security team> ::Immediately go check the pirates::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
@CSO: Scan for the nearest pirate.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
::Tests if the communications are working:: *XO* This is Sketek. Do you hear me?

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
@XO: There they are ::scans the pirates;;

XO Commander Z’heta says:
@*CO* Yes Captain, loud and clear.  We've just arrived.  We’re going to check on the nearest pirate and then we move to the bridge.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
@XO: His life signs are weakening ::approaches him slowly::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@::sees the CSO move to a pirate and follows her::

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
@XO: Both are suffering from poisoning due to the toxic gas in the air. I suggest we beam them to the Andromeda. Here they will die

XO Commander Z’heta says:
@::points the phaser to the pirate::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*XO* Understood. We will now move out from this position so we will not be able to beam you back immediately.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
@All: This compound is quite similar to industrial waste, or warp engine waste for that matter ... I wonder what theyw ere carrying

XO Commander Z’heta says:
@CSO: Agreed.  *CO* Captain, the gas on the vessel affected the pirates, they're dieing.  Can we beam them to our sick bay?

CTO Commander Senek says:
@XO: It appears my caution was excessive. We should try to find the rest of the pirates as soon as possible, though.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
FCO: Move us further away from the pirate ship. Far enough for us to be safe from any radiation or sudden explosions but near enough for us to be able return to this position quickly.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
@CTO: Agreed.  I'd  also like to put life support online and  remove the toxic gas

FCO Lieutenant JG Andrews says:
::having just arrived:: CO: Aye sir. ::reverses course::

CTO Commander Senek says:
@XO: Let's find the pirates first.

TO Crewman Wright says:
@::Keeps his rifle to his shoulder keeping an eye on the officers::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
FCO: Belay that.

FCO Lieutenant JG Andrews says:
CO: Aye sir. ::halts the ship::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
FCO: Let's remain in this position while we beam some pirates to Andromeda.

FCO Lieutenant JG Andrews says:
::nods::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*Security* Get a security team to sickbay. Some enemy warriors will be beamed there and they must be stripped from their weapons and must be kept under guard at all times.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
@*CO* Captain, can you get a lock on the pirates from Andromeda? If not we'll get to them and use our own commbadges on them if needed.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
@XO:We might want to investigate this toxic chemical, it’s highest concentration is in the cargo bay, it seems to have leaked from there to the rest of the ship

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
::Tries to get a lock on the pirates::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: As the crew passes a certain compartment the CSO's Tricorder begins to rapidly sound an Alarm and Flashes the Universal Sign for BIOHAZARD AIRBORNE VIRUS DETECTED

XO Commander Z’heta says:
@Team: If Andromeda can beam the pirates, we'll do as the CSO says.  If not, I agree with the CTO as we should get to the pirates before anything else.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@::looks at the CSO:: What is it?

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*Sickbay* Prepare to receive a few enemy pirates. Note that they must be dealt with extreme caution as they might be infected with a very strong disease that might infect others.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
@All: Stop!

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
@All: my tricorder is detecting a virus in the air

XO Commander Z’heta says:
@::halts::

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
@::checks that again::

CTO Commander Senek says:
@::Turns to CSO::

TO Crewman Wright says:
@::hears the CSO and is glad he is in his EVA suit::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@CSO: A virus in the air? XO: Rie , if that is true no pirate can be beamed to the Andromeda.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
@::as controlled as she can possibly be:: XO: There is a virus infecting the atmosphere, close to the cargo bay

CTO Commander Senek says:
@CNS: They could be beamed directly to quarantine.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
@CNS: You’re right. *CO* Captain, abort the beam out of the pirates.  They're infected with a dangerous virus and it's a great risk to Andromeda's crew.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Scene: The AT arrives near the door to the Cargo Bay, it is locked there are skeletal remains at the door

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*XO* Understood. In that case we will move further away to minimize risks.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@CTO: That is indeed correct but it is a to great a risk.

CTO Commander Senek says:
@::Looks at the skeleton:: TO: It appears that rifles aren't what's needed here..

CTO Commander Senek says:
@CNS: Now, after seeing the effects of this virus, I agree.

FCO Lieutenant JG Andrews says:
::takes the cue from the CO and resumes his previous course::

TO Crewman Wright says:
@::Watches the corridor away from the cargo bay door::

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
@::watches the skeletons in the area::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
@CTO: Let's see if we can vent the virus away.  CNS/CSO: Coordinate your efforts, check what kind of virus this is and see if we have the adequate antibiotic.

CTO Commander Senek says:
@XO: We should try to gain access to the bridge.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@::scans for lifesigns:: ALL: I detect eleven lifesigns left, and in the Cargo hold is full of crates in various states of condition. Very dangerous.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
@CTO: In deed, but I think that Identified the cargo that contains the virus and removing it is more urgent

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
@XO: We will need to get a sample aboard the andromeda for analysis

XO Commander Z’heta says:
@CNS: How dangerous? Explosive? Biohazard?

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@CSO: We need to get a sample of this Virus and readings to analyze this in a laboratory or some sort but not on the Andromeda if possible. We have to minimize the risk.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
@CSO: Alright, do it.  Don't forget to raise a force field once you're on Andromeda with the virus sample.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Scene: The door to the Cargo Bay remains locked

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
@CNS: Yes but I believe the Andromeda force fields will be enough to contain it

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@XO: I can not say, I need to get a closer scan

CTO Commander Senek says:
@XO: Repairing the ship's life support systems might prove too complex a task for us to complete right now, and saving the pirates should be our first priority. I don't think I'm wrong when I assume that most of them are on the bridge, too.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@CSO: it normally will but there is no room for error

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
@*Andromeda*I need a maximum security containment field ready in lab1

XO Commander Z’heta says:
@CTO: Either way, we need to get in the Cargo Bay. After that we'll go to the bridge.  Team: Look alive! ::opens the CB door::

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
@CNS/XO: What shall we do then ... sirs?

CTO Commander Senek says:
@XO: Aye.

TO Crewman Wright says:
@::keeps watching the corridor for possible hostiles::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@XO: Sir, I would like permission to enter the Cargo hold and scan the containers. To see what is in there.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The XO opens the Cargo Bay Door, he is confronted by a toxic mist which washed across his visor, several crates are leaking the toxic gas, one crate is marked "Virus" which is punctured as well from falling debris, there are also cases of weapons of various types, small arms and a box of empty torpedo casings

XO Commander Z’heta says:
@CNS: Granted, Tal.  We’ll all go in

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
FCO: Now that we are further away, let's maintain this position and not move anywhere.

FCO Lieutenant JG Andrews says:
CO: Understood.

CTO Commander Senek says:
@::Steps into the cargo bay::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@XO: I do not think it wise sir, the less lives we put at stake the better. I want to go in alone

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
FCO: Step aside from your console and stand at attention.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
@*CO* Captain, we've just entered the Cargo bay.  The virus seems to have its origin in here.  The CNS and the CSO we'll take a sample to Andromeda to analyse it.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*XO* Understood.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
@::follows the others while preparing the sample:::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
@CNS: I see your point, but I think You'll need Ens. Saprin's assistance to the very least.  As for the rest of us, we'll keep the EVA suits.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
@CTO: If we ignore the virus, think this area is secured. Shall we move on to the bridge?

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@::enters the bay and moves to the crate marked VIRUS. stops and turns towards the XO:: XO: That is indeed correct sir, I need Ms Saprin's help. 

CTO Commander Senek says:
@XO: Yes.

TO Crewman Wright says:
@::keeps the corridor covered::

FCO Lieutenant JG Andrews says:
::looks at the Captain, confusedly:: CO: Aye.. sir.. ::stands at attention::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
::Raises from his chair and goes to FCO:: FCO: For your service to Starfleet and the starship U.S.S. Andromeda, you are hereby promoted to the rank of Full Lieutenant with all the privileges and responsibilities of your new rank.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
@CNS: Tal, grab a sample of the virus on a secured case and go back to Andromeda.  Make sure you don't take the uncontained virus with you, and have a force field raised once you get to the lab.  The CTO and I will remain here.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
::Replaces the hollow pip with a full one::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
FCO: Congratulations.

FCO Lieutenant JG Andrews says:
::as the CO speaks, a grin slowly grows across his face:: CO: Thank you very much, sir. I won't disappoint.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@XO: Aye sir, be well Rie ::moves further to the crate and starts taking a sample::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Pause USS Andromeda "The Rigel Agenda" 10410.24
