Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
::Behind the CEO in the gun store::
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Getting annoyed with the shop keeper::
 
Host Lorne_Starling says:
::looking around:: All: Interest you in the latest photon grenade?
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: In the hospital gathering information about previous treatments for radiation poisoning.::
XO_Cmdr_Z`heta says:
::watches the guns with great interest and approaches the CTO::
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
Lorne: Lets cut the act. I've heard from a friend you can get me what I need
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
Lorne: I can go spend my significant cash reserve elsewhere if you'd like
Host Lorne_Starling says:
CEO: I don't know you , so well maybe you come back in an hour and maybe we do business
XO_Cmdr_Z`heta says:
CTO: What do you think of that? ::points to a highly modified hand disruptor::
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Turns to the CO and looks at him::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Following a nurse, she is taken to an empty office and placed before a computer console and there the information requested begins to appear.::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Observes the weapon pointed at by the XO for a while::
Host Lorne_Starling says:
::eyeing the customers::
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
~~~CO: Shall we come back in a hour when he could have a surprise set out for us or do I press him now?~~~
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Scans through the list, which is far more then expected.  As she reaches the bottom of the list, she notes there had been five more to come in just last night.  This poisoning worked fast.::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
::Slips some credit bars to CEO, "accidentally" showing them::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
XO: If the listed specifications are correct, it's quite strong for its size and price class. Speaking for myself, I don't like the modified aiming system.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Pulls up each file and notes who they work for.::
Host Lorne_Starling says:
CEO: Well we can meet in an hour and well deal
XO_Cmdr_Z`heta says:
::nods:: CTO: I see what you mean.  But for close combat situations should come in handy.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Starts to activate her comm and smiles.  She really was spoiled.  Turns toward a communication set and calls up the workers boss.::
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
Lorne: Myself and my associates don't have time to be waiting for you. Its now or never ::shifts the credits in his hand to show the shopkeeper the quantity::
Host Lorne_Starling says:
Scene: The store is empty except for the crew and Lorne
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
~~~CO: Can you discreetly open up your tricorder here~~~
Host Lorne_Starling says:
::stops to consider:: CEO: Look I only have one meeting room and its being used
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
XO: That's a good point. I tend to miss that angle from my considerations a bit too often.
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
Lorne: There is no one else here but us, what’s the issue?
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
::Does not touch his tricorder, thinking it can't be done discreetly::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Getting through to the warehouse's secretary, she finds she has to pull some rank to find the person she needs now and not tomorrow at a more convenient time for him.::
Host Lorne_Starling says:
Action: The Civ suceeds in making arrangements to view the dock area warehouse
Host Lorne_Starling says:
CEO: Its being used by other paying customers and they don't take kindly to interruptions
XO_Cmdr_Z`heta says:
CTO: Oh, I think you make a great holistic analysis.  BTW, one weapon I do like is the standard Klingon disruptor.  Do you?
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
Lorne: Whats the problem with here?
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Quietly she asks about the workers schedule and its location then receives an invitation to view the area.  Thanking the man, she closes the connection.::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
::Leaves the store entirely:: CEO: I'm leaving. Do whatever you want.
Host Lorne_Starling says:
CEO: I dont do business here in front only in the back room
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Reaching for her commbadge, she sends a nonverbal call to the XO in case he is occupied.::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
::Steps out of the door, takes a few steps to a shady location and opens his tricorder::
Host Lorne_Starling says:
Action: The XO's Comm badge vibrates
Host Lorne_Starling says:
Action: The CO discovers that there is a Romulan, a Ferengi, an Orion Male and a Breen in the back room
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Getting a copy of the files, she thanks the man for assisting her and moves to leave.::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
XO: It's a Klingon weapon designed with Klingons and their fighting style in mind..
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
::Also scans the area for Omega particle, or other strange or illegal substances::
XO_Cmdr_Z`heta says:
CTO: Excuse a moment..  ::steps out to a corner and taps the commbadge::
Host Lorne_Starling says:
Action: The CO discovers traces of Omega emissions, 24 hour ago
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Exiting the medical facility, she pauses to take in a deep breath of fresh air.  There was something about hospitals she never quite liked, which was probably why she had gone into research.  A smile lightens her face as she notes where she is now.::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Walks to CEO and the shopkeeper::
Host Lorne_Starling says:
Action: The CO discovers various illegal guns and supplies in the basement including cocaine
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
*XO*: Commander?
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
Lorne: I'll be back in a hour, be ready for me or I walk
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
::Closes his tricorder, waiting for the rest of the crew to come out::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Sees that the negotiation is concluded and exits the building::
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
All: Lets go
XO_Cmdr_Z`heta says:
*CIV* Go ahead
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Walks out the door::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
*XO*: Last night the Larwence hospital, not far from where you are now, had five new cases of unknown radiation posioning.  I am headed for that area now.  I contacted their boss which places them near a warehouse near a landing padd for freighters.  I believe that is near the gunstore.
Host Lorne_Starling says:
Action: A man exits the building through a window detected only by the CO's tricorder
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
<radiation poisoning admitted>
Host Lorne_Starling says:
Action: The Ferengi just died
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Walks to the CO:: CO: So, shall we just wait?
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Walks out to the lot where her vehicle was waiting, the man appearing to be reading something while waiting.::
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::heads over to the CO:: CO: Anything interesting in the scans sir?
XO_Cmdr_Z`heta says:
*CIV* Good work.  I'll let the Captain now ASAP.  Will you need backup?
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
All: There were plenty of interesting things.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Blinks in surprise, not having thought of that::  *XO*: I have no idea.
Host Lorne_Starling says:
Action: The Breen has just been disintegrated
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
All: There is a back room where a Ferengi and a Breen were just killed, the rest of the people being a Romulan and an Orion.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Climbs into the front seat and gives the driver their next destination.::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
All: Also there was a trace of Omega particle, indicating it was here 24 hours ago.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
::Scans the person who left the building::
 
Host Lorne_Starling says:
Action: The person has just entered warehouse number four
 
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
CO: I say raid the place, we know the assassin was orion, and there is a orion in an illegal gun shop
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CEO: I don't think we should leap into conclusions like that quite yet.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CEO: There are risks in that approach.
Host Lorne_Starling says:
Action: The Romulan is now reading as an energy life form totally alien
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
All: You can also take your own scans in case I am missing something.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CEO: There are lots of shady Orions, and most of them probably aren't connected to this case.
 
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
::Tries to get more detailed scans of the Romulan::
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
CTO: What are the odds that they will be in a gun shop with traces of the omega particle present
Host Lorne_Starling says:
Action: The lifeform is energy based and appears to have the ability to shift between energy and organic at will
XO_Cmdr_Z`heta says:
CO: Sir, I apologize for interrupting, but the CIV is in the Hospital checking 5 cases of radiation poisoning that happened last night.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
XO: Interesting.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: As the hospital had been relatively near by, it does not take them long to arrive at the warehouse.::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
XO: It is very likely that they have something to do with our case.
Host Lorne_Starling says:
Action: The lifeform is definitely registering as a powerful mental presence to all who are telepathically gifted whether touch or not
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CEO: Considerably greater than zero, and the potential loss in case we target a wrong Orion is great.
XO_Cmdr_Z`heta says:
CO: Agrred. And though she's in a Hospital, I don't think that our crew members should be alone.  Permission to join her, Captain?
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
XO: Permission granted.
XO_Cmdr_Z`heta says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::steps out::
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
All: Does anyone else feel that telepathic presence?
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Feels a strange sensation about him, somehow sensing that it's originating from inside the building::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CEO: Yes, I think so.
Host Lorne_Starling says:
Action: The lifeform appears to be looking for something, tables and chairs are being overturned
XO_Cmdr_Z`heta says:
*CIV* Dr. Storm, I'm joining you.  These case in not... linear.  Nor safe.  Where are you?
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Looks out the window a bit uncertain.  She had never been to a place like this before.::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CEO: There's definitely something strange in there.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
*XO*: I am outside the warehouse.  Someone should be coming to meet me.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
::Turns to ask the driver for some kind of rain device.  He hands her what he calls an umbrella.::
XO_Cmdr_Z`heta says:
*CIV* I'm on my way. ::takes out the tricorder and scans for the CIV using the commbadge signal::
Host Lorne_Starling says:
Action: The lifeform passes through the meeting room floor and into the basement to continue its search
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CEO: Can we get a transporter lock on that creature?
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
*XO*: Acknowledged.
Host Lorne_Starling says:
Action: Transporter lock is not possible
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Opening the door, she activates the simple device and steps out into the downpour.::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CEO: Maybe now I agree that the coincidences are too many to be unrelated..
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
CO: Afraid not, it seems to be pure energy which we can't lock on to
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CEO: I see.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CTO: If we were to attack that creature, do we have any chance of capturing it?
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Makes her way over to the warehouse and under the overhang.::
XO_Cmdr_Z`heta says:
::sees the CIV and walks to her waving::
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
CO: Although I wonder if conventional would even work on such a being?
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CO: That's impossible to say without knowing what's it capable of.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CTO: You are probably right.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Catching the movement she turns to see the first officer and smiles, feeling some of the tension leaving her, not realizing it had been there.::  XO: Glad you could join me.
Host Lorne_Starling says:
Action: The being is opening crates in the basement
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CO: As far as I know, energy beings are mostly anomalous to scientists and certainly I don't know much about them.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
::Scans the crates::
Host Lorne_Starling says:
Action: Some of the crates have Omega residue
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Pulls out her tricorder and begins to do a general scan of the area.::
XO_Cmdr_Z`heta says:
CIV: Nice to see you too.  What do you know about the radiation poisoning?  ::lowers voice:: CIV: Omega subproducts?
 
Host Lorne_Starling says:
Action: The being opens an empty crate and appears frustrated that the crate is empty
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
XO: I am picking up traces of it now around this area.  You should know, the only people who were admitted were the night shift, none from the other shifts.  We need to speak with their boss to see where they were working last night.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
All: That creature down there is certainly someone very critical to our investigation.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
All: We need to find some way to get more information about that creature. Suggestions?
Host Lorne_Starling says:
Action: empaths can feel a powerful sense of frustration from the being
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
All: What ever that thing is, it looks like its searching for something and annoyed at not finding it
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CEO: Indeed.
XO_Cmdr_Z`heta says:
CIV: Agreed.  They can't answer for themselves?
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
XO: They were sent home... we would need to contact them at home.  I figured it would be easier to just slip down here and ask their boss.
Host Lorne_Starling says:
Action: The being seems to be thinking
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
CO: Can we get a sample of the particle?
Host Lorne_Starling says:
<Boss> CIv: Can I help you ?
XO_Cmdr_Z`heta says:
CIV: Good call.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CO: If possible, we should observe it from distance as long as possible to find out as much of it as possible.
 
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Turns to the man:: Boss: I am Doctor Storm.  I spoke with you earlier.  This is... my colleague.  We are here to investigate some radiation poisoning from five of your workers last night.  Could you tell me where they were assigned?
Host Lorne_Starling says:
Action: The being produces an instrument and begins to scan the area
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CEO: We have good knowledge of the properties of the Omega particle but we don't have samples and we don't need them.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Takes out his tricorder and looks at the creature with it::
Host Lorne_Starling says:
<Boss> Civ: Well yes, warehouse number four, offloading a deepspace freighter
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
CO: This being seems to be attracted to it, if we could get a sample we could bring it right to us
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
Boss: With your permission, we would like to search it?
XO_Cmdr_Z`heta says:
Boss: IS the freighter still there?
Host Lorne_Starling says:
Action: The being puts the device away and passes through the ceiling and shapeshifts back into the Romulan, and exits the building
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CEO: Ah, that way. Well, we probably can't do that. We are ordered to destroy all the Omega particles.
Host Lorne_Starling says:
<Boss> XO: It just left and probably is near Jupiter
Host Lorne_Starling says:
<Boss> XO: The SS Long Haul
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
All: We shouldn't lose track of the creature, as it seems to be able to mask its nature at will.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Looks at the XO::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
All: Some of us should start shadowing it, and the rest can take care of meeting the weapon dealer.
XO_Cmdr_Z`heta says:
Boss: We'd like to check the warehouse anyway, please.
