Host SMLea says:
Summary: The USS Andromeda has been in position outside the Chalak Science Station Gehmohr for just over 24 hours now.
Host SMLea says:
Summary: In that time, an away team joined the station to conduct "subtle" investigations into suspicions that the Chalak, who are applying for membership into the Federation, were conducting illegal experimentation that might disqualify them from membership.
Host SMLea says:
Summary: Only an hour into their investigations, more than half the station went dark, leaving the crew to fend for themselves.
Host SMLea says:
Summary: The away team finally left the station, with an injured CEO, data modules full of station core data, and an Agtak team member in tow.
Host SMLea says:
Summary: In the meantime, Captain Knight and Doctor Knight-Sky received a mysterious message regarding their children. Every officer with both access and knowhow to send the message has been investigated - but one.
Host SMLea says:
Summary: Meekin, the Agtak citizen brought along, admits to the crimes of sabotage and conspiracy to commit murders:
Host SMLea says:
Summary: Upon Meekin's discovery of illegal experimentation data, but facing the Federation's insistence of "more substantial proof" since computer entries can be falsified, she and others sabotaged the station with the planned result of releasing dangerous experiments into the population.
Host SMLea says:
Summary: The explicit goal - the injury or death of Starfleet officers, was intended to force a Federation investigation or scare away all Federation involvement with the Chalak.
Host SMLea says:
Summary: The past six hours, McQuade, Ivara, and Meekin have continued their investigation into the data modules and tricorder data.  So far, they reveal falsely-planned experimental data inconsistent with McQuade's tricorder readings, tampering with systems codes and programming by both Agtak and Chalak workers.
Host SMLea says:
Summary: Meanwhile, the authorities of Gehmohr Station - Marlin Chenwa and Meerma Lim - have identified and taken into custody four other members of Meekin's team. These have been transported to Chalak (Prime) with the stated consequences of facing civil trial.
Host SMLea says:
Summary: Finally, Ivara's research into the crystals from the Ferengi merchant's ship has progressed, intersecting with research into small object apparently preserving Attaché Light's own life.  And a planet in the nearby Delta IV system seems to have disappeared without a trace - around the same time the Chalak began to actively ignore that same system.
Host SMLea says:
Summary: And Ensign Ivara's alliance with an Agtak scientist has yielded a map that seems to indicate the ship - or a ship similar to it - involved with the kidnapping of the Captain's children has headed in the opposite direction, passing near several small systems on its way.
Host SMLea says:
Summary: Commander Power has place a 6 hour limit on further research into the Chalak/Agtak situation. One of those hours remain before Andromeda will leave the Rabtese system.

CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Crosschecks data with known red light data recorded on the tricorder.::
Host CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::enters as the doors open, looking around for the Chief Engineer::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Places out of place experiments into a separate database and begins running them though the computer to organize them.::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Turns as he hears the main engineering does open.::  CNS:  We are in here Commander.  Come join the party.   ::Looks at the other two people in the room and smiles.::
Host Meekin says:
::Looks up as another new person enters the room...this time someone she doesn't recall meeting before. She tenses slightly, and shifts a little bit away, and in McQuade's general direction::
Host CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::walks over to where the others are::  CEO: Anything good happening here?
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
Meekin:  Take a look at this data.   Lots of hidden experiments.  Seems more going on in Sector 10 than anything else.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Smiles.::  CNS:  Just trying to save the universe and not get killed as always.   Lots of data and little time, but we are making headway.  What brings you down here Commander?
Host CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CEO: I need to ask you some questions about something that happened while we were on the station.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
CSO:  Take a look at these experiments.  These are all filed within the data we collected and they stand out as not being quite right.  I think all of these are hidden experiments.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
CNS:  Here or in private?
Host CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CEO: In private if you don't mind?
Host Meekin says:
::Her attention is drawn temporarily from the new person back to the screen as she looks where McQuade pointed::  CEO: That would make sense...
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
Meekin:  Keep looking these over.  Seems like sector 7 has a few as well, but only a 1/3 as many as sector 10.    I'll be right back.   ::Motions to Varesh to follow and walks out of the room to his office.::  CNS:  In private it is Commander.
Host Meekin says:
::Turns as the newcomer Commander's words sink into her mind, and her gaze flashes from the new guy, to McQuade, then just as quickly to Ivara...::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
<MO Wilcox> :: Stepping into the CMO's office he sits down on the couch.::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: With a raised eyebrow, Sky looks at Cory as he just entered and sat down, not that she was too surprised, but it was not the normal for him.  Quietly she waited for him to speak first.::
Host CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::follows the CEO over to his office:: CEO: I just want to check something with you, if you don't mind.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
<MO Wilcox> :: After a few minutes of silence he sighed.::  CMO:  When are you planning on taking up your full duties again?
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Enters the office.::  CNS:  Shure as away Commander.  I'm all yours.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: With no obvious expression on her face, she felt confused by the question.::  MO: I do not understand.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
<MO Wilcox> CMO:  Admittedly, things have been quiet and there has not been anything of a trying nature and you do the general paperwork, but you yourself are not all here.
Host CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CEO: While we were on station, the Captain received a message from someone regarding their children. It was sent from the bridge, routed all over the place and arrived back at the ship a few hours later.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: For a few moments she mused over what he had said.::  MO:  When my children are safely back with me.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Looks puzzled.::  CNS:  If you’re asking if that’s possible I can safely say it is Commander.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::pulls up the data points the CEO pointed out, looking for the similarities::
Host CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CEO: Also, the message was heavily encoded and the person who did it had impressive skills at hiding who sent it.
Host Meekin says:
::Cautiously looks back to the computer systems, digging deeper into the data...shaking her head::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::over her shoulder quietly:: Meekin: What was your job?  What did you do before you went to Gehmohr?
Host CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CEO: I guess I'm getting at the fact that at the time it was sent, you were on the bridge and have the skillset to do it. And that we've ruled out the others. ::shrugs:: I'm not all that good with subtlety, so I'm just going to ask you point blank if you had anything to do with it.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
<MO Wilcox> CMO:  And if they never return?  It they truly are dead?
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Continues to listen to Commander Varesh and nodding.::  CNS: Me?  I haven't been on the bridge since before we went to the station Commander.  And I only checked on some engineering functions before I left to change into the uniforms that the Chalak has sent over.
Host Meekin says:
::Continues digging deeper. hesitating a moment before answering:: CSO: I served at a marine facility beneath the Intara Sea, on Chalak.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: A flash of anger burned swiftly through her before she put a mental clamp on it.::  MO:  My children are alive.  And as long as that remains so, we will continue searching.  Everything else is one step at a time.
Host CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::sighs:: CEO: Well, then we have a problem. Because the Captain wants an answer and I need to find one.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Leans against the desk.::  CNS:  From what you are saying it would take some time to bypass security systems and get something like that together and while I may have the knowledge to do so I did not do so.
Host CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CEO: I could read your mind, and the Captain will accept whatever I tell him in that regard since he's a telepath too, but I don't like doing it. ::thinks:: So, I guess I'm going to need to enlist your help in untangling all this.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
<MO Wilcox>  CMO:  Then this department will never be whole.  :: he made it a statement, not a fact::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
CNS:  So this message.  Where did it originate from?  ::Scratches his head for a moment.::  I'll help out where I can.
Host CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CEO: It originated on the bridge.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::flips through the screens of data about the faked projects one at a time shaking her head, she closes that line out and starts looking at the simpler projects to see if she can find out what they could be supporting:: Meekin: But what did you do?
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
CNS:  If reading my mind clears my name from your suspect list I'll be more than happy to go through it.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Tilts her head slightly::  MO Wilcox:  Cory, I am more than willing to step down if you believe I am not capable of running things.  We have already discussed you’re doing just this with my intent to leave the ship to continue the search.  We can make it official if you would like.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
CNS:  It originated from the bridge.   What console?
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
<MO Wilcox> ::angrily annoyed::  CMO:  That is not what I meant and you know it.
Host CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CEO: It’s more a case of me not liking to do it. ::thinks a moment:: Engineering I.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
MO:  And there is always Suzie who was in charge of things when I arrived.  I know she would prefer her research, but... :: lightly shrugs.::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
<MO Wilcox> :: Just glares at the CMO before getting to his feet, mumbling under his breath about Suzi as he leaves.::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Surprised at the station.::  CNS:  Well that station would make sense, but it would be easy to send it from almost any place and route it to the engineering console as its place of origin.  ::Continues to scratch his head as he thinks.::  CNS:  Security, Command, Operations, and Engineering could all pull something like this off and tag it to any open console on a timed delay.  But that would need to be done with the knowledge of the other systems.
Host CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::slaps his forehead::  CEO: That makes sense and I should have thought of that. Let me get all the information together and bring you up to speed. I think I'm going to need you to help trawling through the systems to find it all.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
CNS:  In order to keep things simple can you deliver me anything you have found so far?  ::Stands from the desk.::  Sounds good Commander.  I'll get back to work here and wait for your data.
Host CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CEO: I'll get on it and get whatever else the Captain or Doctor might have that I don't have yet.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Nods.::  CNS:  That will help save some time in duplicating efforts.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
<Brenden> :: Sitting at his table with other children, drawing.::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
<Brenden>  :: Sensing his twins confusion, he turns around to where she should be.::
Host CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CEO: Thanks. I had better get back to the Doctor and see what she's got.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
CNS:  Don't be a stranger in engineering Commander.  ::Smiles a bit as he walks out.::
Host CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CEO: I'll let you get back to your other work. ::nods as he turns to leave:: ~~~CMO: :Sky, I have some sort of news on that message. Makes things a bit harder but it’s something to work on.~~~
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: With her own sigh of frustration at the way things are the way they were, she turns her mind toward her friend.::  ~~~~CNS:  I am listening.~~~~
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
<Brenden> :: Ignoring the others around him, he looks for Bri, calling to her.::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Returns to Meekin and Ivara.::  Outloud:  Anything new?
Host Meekin says:
CSO: I started there as the Associate Head of Personnel, but eventually got the head position.
Host CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
~~~CMO: I spoke with the CEO and he pointed out that the message may not have originated on the bridge at all. I need all the information you have so we can co-ordinate the search through the ship's systems to find where it was sent from.~~~
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::glances over as she keeps looking at the information:: Meekin: So why are you looking at the raw data? Why don't you try to see who is over qualified for their projects?
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
<Teacher Lu> :: With an eye out for all her students, especially the captain's son in these trying times, she contacts his mother.::  CMO:  Your son seems to be...confused.  He is calling out for his sister.
Host CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::heads over to the TL to head up to Sickbay::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
::Caught between two messages> Lu:  Thank you, I will be right there.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Moves to the console and looks over Meekin’s shoulder.  Making sure to hover closer while smiling to hopefully cheer Meekin up.::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Standing, she exits her office.::  ~~~~ CNS:  We have already gone through all of that.  That is how we came to the conclusion and the narrowing down process.::~~~
Host CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::enters the TL and orders it up to Sickbay:: ~~~CMO: So it was sent from the bridge and not somewhere else?~~~
Host Meekin says:
::Pauses:: CSO: Hm...  Good point. I'm probably considerably less useful with the data than you or Tavish.  ::Nods, then turns for another computer monitor, accidentally facing McQuade directly. She can't help but smile as she finds herself almost face-to-face:: CEO: Oh... Sorry.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Stepping into the lift she orders it to the classrooms.::  ~~~~ CNS: Yes.~~~~
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: As the lift stops, she steps off and turns to the right, heading down the hall to the glassed in classroom.  Standing outside, she stares at her son, mentally reaching out towards him.::
Host CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
~~~CMO: Ok. I'll have to approach it from a different angle... are you alright?~~~
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Takes a step back and smiles.::  Meekin/CSO:  So what have we learned since I've been gone.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::glances at the CEO and Meekin with a raised eyebrow:: Self: I see.  CEO: Do you want the short version or the long version?
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
<Brenden> :: Feeling his mother, he turns around to see her watching.  He dashes to the door which does not open and yells out.::  CMO:  Shima, Bri woke up, but I cannot find her...  :: he bangs on the door.::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
~~~~ CNS:  I am sorry... Brenden needs me.  Talk with Marlon Gallard~~~~
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
CSO:  Time is something we do not have a lot of.  ::Smiles::  Short if you please.  ::Calls up the data he was working on.::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Moving toward the door, she keys in the password and kneels down to catch her confused son before swooping him up into her arms.::
Host Meekin says:
::Turns back to the monitor and reviews the personnel list::
Host CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
~~~CMO: Anything I can do to help?~~~
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: she then looks at the teacher.::  Teacher:  Lu, I have him.  Thank you.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
~~~~CNS: Perhaps... he is very stressed at the moment.  I am going to our quarters.~~~~
Host CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
~~~CMO: I'll meet you there.~~~
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::shrugs slightly:: CEO: Nothing.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: As her son repeats what he said, she simply nods, soothing him as she makes her way to their quarters.  She sends a brief contact to her husband to let him know what is going on, but that she has it in hand.::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: As the doors to their quarters close behind her, she moves to the kitchen putting him into his chair.  She then gets him some juice and fruit to sit before him, making some for herself as well.::  Brenden:  I am listening.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
CSO:  Well it’s a start.  ::Winks at the CSO then turns back to the console.::  All:  If we have experiments that are false and rooms that are locked almost denoting the false data we could either say we have something, or we could say it was a plant.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
<Brenden> CMO:  Bri woke up and she was confused and then worried and then not too upset and then she went quiet.  :: Reaching for his drink, he took a big swallow.::
Host CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::rings the chime to the CO's quarters::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Checks data input logs verses access codes.  Cross checks with the name Merrin, and Matte Feer.::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: calls out:: CNS:  Enter...
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: she then takes a piece of fruit she does not really want, but to make things seem normal, she nibbles on it.::
Host CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::enters:: CMO: How's he doing?
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
CEO: All I can tell you is the sequence that the false data was planted in... and I should be able to flag most of it as false.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Nods to Varesh to join them.::  Brenden:  Tell Uncle Varesh what you just told me.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
<Brenden> :: repeats what he just told his mother.::
Host CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::listens intently:: Brenden: Did it feel like she was far?
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
~~~~CNS:  I sense nothing off with that he saying.~~~~
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
<Brenden>  :: frowns::  CNS:  Far?
Host CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
~~~CMO: Who knows how things work between siblings. I still get flashes from my sister from time to time and she's on Risa.~~~
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Continues watching the screen as the data comes up.::  CSO:  At  least we know what the false data looks like now.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
~~~~ CNS:  There has been no unwavering doubt that his sister is alive... and rather annoyed that his twin and brother are not with him.~~~~
Host Meekin says:
::Turns back to the CEO/CSO:: CSO: I followed your suggestion, but started with those personnel the Coloh family fast-tracked past me...
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
CNS:  I doubt he has the skill or knowledge to answer that.  Perhaps a simple mind touch.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::nods at Meekin as she tags the data that is recorded to the similar area of the drive's core.::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Runs a pattern analysis on the access codes posting from 48 hours prior to their arrival.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::smiles:: CMO: Perhaps its better.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
Brenden:  Come sit on my lap for a moment.
Host Meekin says:
CSO/CEO: Well, that Matte Feer?  The youngest Coloh sibling?  His last posting was with a geothermal unit. As systems analyst.
Host Meekin says:
CSO: For the record, significantly over-qualified for his current janitorial position.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
All:  I think I've found a correlation.  Merrin's codes where used in several incidents in the past 4 days, but logs show Matte Feer was the one on duty.   Matte Feer was fast tracked.  Something is pointing to him.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: As Brenden jumps down and comes to her, she picks him up to sit on her lap.::  Brenden:  Close your eyes, hon, and share with me what you felt.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::puts his hand on Sky's arm, letting her show him what her son saw::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
Meekin:  I think Matte Feer is doing other things besides Janitorial duties.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::finishes tagging what she can identify as false and goes back to looking at the real data trying to figure out what the simpler projects would lead to.::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Laying a hand on the back of her sons neck, she concentrates, keeping her mental touch light...after a few minutes of silence, she opens her eyes to look at Varesh with mixed emotions.::  CNS:  Far... they are very far away....
Host Meekin says:
::Nods to McQuade, then looks back to the computer::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: Co-ordinates would be too much to ask for, huh? ::gives a weak smile as he brushes the hair off Brendan’s forehead::
