Mission Summary:

Host Susan says:
Arcadia Station was ordered to take charge of two Orion terrorists that had been captured by a scout ship during their normal patrol.  Shortly after the transport ship departed, there was weapons fire detected in the brig followed by an unauthorized transport.  This occurred twice more, first in the docking bay and then on the promenade.  

Host Susan says:
Each time weapons were detected, six bodies were found; four Starfleet security officers and two Orions dressed in prison garb.  After the third shooting incident, another unauthorized transport was detected.  Upon tracing the transport, it was found to have ended up in the surgical wing of sickbay.  That transport was followed by another along with the report of missing surgical implements.  

Host Susan says:
After the last transport, 6 Orions materialized on the promenade and began shooting, then as security officers arrived on scene they disappeared.  Phaser fire was detected after the disappearance of the Orions, however no source was seen.  It was decided that the Orions were using personal transporters and the security teams began closing in on the source of the phaser fire.

CTO_Dee says:
::behind some cover on the promenade::  *XO*:  Sir, we have them pin down in a shop here in the Promenade, but I am not for sure how we will be able to capture them while they are invisible.

CTO_Dee says:
*XO*:  What if we were to blast the area with an EM pulse?  It would probably take out our phasers as well, but if it blows their cover and takes out their weapons I believe we can take them hand to hand.

XO_Danforth says:
::turns to OPS:: OPS: Can you localize an EM Pulse to that location?

Host Susan says:
ACTION:  The Orions try to push through the line of security line, knocking them down as they go.

OPS_Melore says:
XO: No Sir, a pulse like that would take out our teams weapons as well have them modify their phasers to emit the pulse in short range wide beams.

CTO_Dee says:
All Sec: Hold the line! Fire everything you have at them. ::fires her own weapon::

XO_Danforth says:
*CTO*: Jazra, Mr. Melore says it can't be done.

OPS_Melore says:
::takes actions to erect force fields to block the retreat::

XO_Danforth says:
*CTO*: Any other suggestions?  Do you think flooding the area with anesthetize would work?

XO_Danforth says:
::turns to OPS again:: OPS: Are you sure it can't be done at all?

Host Susan says:
ACTION:  The Orion's fall, two of them decloak as their personal cloaking devices fail.

CO_Claymore says:
<Tari>::moves away from Jason:: *XO*: Commander, I believe that Jason may have given away enough secrets to place the station in grave danger, it might have something to do with what is currently going on.

OPS_Melore says:
XO: Yes Commander but our team will be weaponless

Host Susan says:
ACTION:  An urgent report comes in to OPS that Admiral T'Sar is missing.

CTO_Dee says:
*CTO*: No sir that will that will immobilize my team...  We just took out two of them sir.

OPS_Melore says:
:: looks for confirmation :: XO: That what you want?

CTO_Dee says:
<CTO=XO>

OPS_Melore says:
::gets the COMM:: XO: Sir, The Admiral T'Sar is missing!

XO_Danforth says:
::nods to the OPS:: OPS: Yes.  Activate the pulse.

XO_Danforth says:
*CTO*: Coming your way, Dee.

Host Susan says:
ACTION:  One of the security officers trips as he is trying to move to help place restraints on the fallen Orions.

CTO_Dee says:
*XO*: Sir the phasers have stopped firing.

OPS_Melore says:
::scans for the admiral’s life signs::

XO_Danforth says:
::thinks this is rapidly becoming a nightmare::

CTO_Dee says:
*XO*: I think we have them.

XO_Danforth says:
OPS: Fire the pulse, Mr. Melore.

CTO_Dee says:
::motions to the sec that tripped::  Sec: That should be one get him...

Host Susan says:
ACTION: The Admiral's biosigns appear on levels 6, 8 & 9.

CTO_Dee says:
<Sec Personal> ::binds the ones that are visible and feels around for the others::

XO_Danforth says:
::waiting for the pulse to fire::

OPS_Melore says:
Computer: Environmental Control Safety interlocks. Fire a 10% Electromagnetic Pulse, 60 feet proximity burst relevant to out teams position. ::hits the button::

OPS_Melore says:
XO: The computer is fried or something some how the Admirals Bio Signs are detected on several decks. six eight, and nine, Sir

Host Susan says:
<MO_Duele> *Bridge* Sickbay to bridge.  ::sounds nervous::

CTO_Dee says:
::looks at the two that are visible and can't believe her eyes::  *XO*:  The two that are visible are identical... either we have twins or we are dealing with clones.

OPS_Melore says:
*MO_Duele*: This is OPS, can I help you Doctor?

Host MO_Duele says:
ACTION:  The electromagnetic pulse destabilizes the personal cloaks and all Orions are visible.

XO_Danforth says:
*CTO*: I'm betting clones.  Which means we don't know how many there are.

XO_Danforth says:
OPS: Send teams to each section.  Take them from non-vital areas if need be and make sure we've got it covered.  Tell them to watch for traps.

Host MO_Duele says:
*OPS* I've got a problem down here... they've brought me 18 bodies... um, they're all but identical.

CTO_Dee says:
::watches as her personal quickly bind the Orions:: All Sec: Make sure that they are disarmed and that their transporter devices are removed before taking them to the brig.

Host MO_Duele says:
*OPS* I have 6 different forms here, but 18 of them.

OPS_Melore says:
*MO_Duele*: I'll inform the XO, thank you Doctor. Maybe you should run with DNA tests until then perhaps?

Host MO_Duele says:
*OPS* I'll get on it, but it's freaky.

Host CO_Claymore says:
::still curled up in the middle of the quarters... rambling about imminent destruction::

CTO_Dee says:
*XO*: Sir it worked.  We have all 6 Orions in custody and transferring them quickly to the brig.

OPS_Melore says:
XO: Sir the MO has a situation you should know about, possible clones maybe? I don’t know you have to ask the MO.

XO_Danforth says:
*MO*: Talk to me Doctor.

Host MO_Duele says:
::runs DNA tests on the bodies and has the medical staff run complete autopsies::

CTO_Dee says:
Sec Teams: Look for surgical equipment.  I think they may have stolen some.

OPS_Melore says:
::sends search parties to the locations the Admirals bio signs are detected and awaits a response:: XO: Search parties for the Admiral Dispatched

Host MO_Duele says:
*XO* Commander, I have 18 bodies down here.  They aren't clones, they've been surgically altered to look alike.

Host MO_Duele says:
*XO* Some have even been altered to look like Orions, even down to the exact tinting of the skin... all are human.

XO_Danforth says:
*MO*: Human?

XO_Danforth says:
*MO*: Can you patch your findings to the CTO?  She might have found some more.

XO_Danforth says:
*CTO*: Jazra, you need to hear this.

XO_Danforth says:
*CTO*: The "Orions" might actually be humans.

XO_Danforth says:
*CTO*: The Doctor is going to send you her findings.  Scan your captives once you get to the brig.

Host MO_Duele says:
*XO* Yeah, human... ::patches the information to the CTO:: XO/CTO: All 18 bodies that I have here are human, and all have been surgically altered.

CTO_Dee says:
::stops her searching and listens::  Self: What?  ::grabs a tricorder and scans one of the Orions::

OPS_Melore says:
<Search Party1> ::searches deck 8 for the Admiral.

XO_Danforth says:
::patches in to Tari:: Tari: Is there anything more you can tell me about the situation?

OPS_Melore says:
<Search Party2> ::searches deck 6 for the Admiral.

Host MO_Duele says:
ACTION: The scan results show that the person is a surgically altered human.

OPS_Melore says:
<Search Party3> ::searches deck 9 for the Admiral.

Host MO_Duele says:
ACTION:  The search party on deck 9 finds a foot.

Host MO_Duele says:
ACTION:  The search party on deck 8 finds a hand

Host MO_Duele says:
Action:  The search party on deck 6 finds an ear.

Host CO_Claymore says:
<Tari> *XO*: When he's coherent it has to do with the security arrangements... On what things though I’m not certain.

CTO_Dee says:
::shakes her head::  *XO*: I have no idea what is going on but these Orions appear to be human as well.

XO_Danforth says:
::thinks to himself that this IS a nightmare::

CTO_Dee says:
::motions to security to move them on to the brig until they can sort it out later::

XO_Danforth says:
*CTO*: We may have an even worse situation.  I need you up here immediately.  Can you do an emergency site-to-site transport?

OPS_Melore says:
<Search Party3> *OPS*: The Admiral is not a full Admiral Anymore, I found the Admirals foot.

CTO_Dee says:
Remaining Security: All right people I want this place, including that store detailed search for all possible clues... I have had enough of this running around.  Time we start to think ahead of whoever is behind this.

OPS_Melore says:
<Search Party2> *OPS*: The Admiral is more like a rear Admiral now, I found the Admirals fear, at least one of them..

CTO_Dee says:
*XO*: Aye sir.

CTO_Dee says:
::leaves a TO in charge of the site::

CTO_Dee says:
::orders the computer to do a site-to-site transport to the bridge::

OPS_Melore says:
<Search Party1> *OPS*: The Admiral's Hand is here ..

OPS_Melore says:
::shakes his head::

OPS_Melore says:
*Search Parties*: Keep looking dead or alive I want a Body!

Host CO_Claymore says:
<Tari>::gets and idea:: *XO*: Maybe if you could tell me the current situation... I might be able to ask him some specific questions.

Host MO_Duele says:
ACTION:  OPS receives a report of a leg from the knee down, being found in the "Lucky Palace" restaurant kitchen.

OPS_Melore says:
XO: The Admiral, she left pieces of herself all over the station ..

CTO_Dee says:
::rematerializes on the bridge::  XO/OPS: What is the situation.

XO_Danforth says:
*Tari*: We are going to change this to a comm secure area.  I will get back to you in one moment.  And thank you.

XO_Danforth says:
OPS: Mr. Melore.  Lock down the Command Center.  And immediately change all of the security codes.

Host MO_Duele says:
ACTION:  The security team on the promenade reports the discovery of a stash of surgical instruments.

Host CO_Claymore says:
<Tari>::is worried that something even worse than she thought might be up::

OPS_Melore says:
XO: Now her body is tainting the restaurants on the promenade... I'm ordering out from now on!

Host MO_Duele says:
<SEC> *CTO* Chief, the surgical stuff traces to the men we captured.

XO_Danforth says:
CTO: It appears that the Captain may have inadvertently given away Starfleet Security tactics to these fake Orions.

Host MO_Duele says:
*OPS* Well the rest of the test results are in, they were killed by Orion disruptors.

OPS_Melore says:
*MO*:  Please get forensic examiners to the locations we have found pieces of the Admiral .

CTO_Dee says:
::growls and wants to make them pay for what they did to her Captain and her personnel::  XO: They found the surgical equipment and it does trace back to the 6 Orions we captured.  My teams also report that they are secure in the brig.

OPS_Melore says:
CTO: You are gonna have your hands full sir.

XO_Danforth says:
CTO: We need to institute emergency security protocols.  We need new and innovative ways to attack the situation.

Host MO_Duele says:
*OPS* They're DNA traces them back to a rehabilitation colony on Danax 3.

Host MO_Duele says:
*OPS* Understood  ::dispatches the examiners and awaits the reports::

XO_Danforth says:
CTO: Good.  Good.  We need to break one of the Orions and find out what they know and what we don't know.

CTO_Dee says:
::appears cool and calm even though her insides don't match::  XO: I need more time...

Host MO_Duele says:
ACTION: Flight reports that the SS Starshine is demanding departure clearance and refuses to wait any longer.

OPS_Melore says:
CTO: I have already issued requests to medical to get examiners to the locations we found of the Admiral ... No one has come across full body yet. While I hate to think it she might still be alive some where, not for long at this rate though.

XO_Danforth says:
CTO: We don't have more time, Jazra.  I'd like to give it to you, but we don't have it.  ::stares intently but compassionately at her::

XO_Danforth says:
CTO: Let's go down there together.

OPS_Melore says:
XO: The SS Starshine, want to leave ...

CTO_Dee says:
XO/OPS: It is possible that the pieces of the Admiral that you have found are nothing more than cloned parts.

OPS_Melore says:
COM: USS Starshine: Please wait

Host MO_Duele says:
::receives the results from the examiners:: *OPS* We have the results on the pieces of Admiral.  They were surgically removed at another location and purposely placed in these location.

Host MO_Duele says:
*OPS* The dismemberment happened while the Admiral was alive.  No evidence that the Admiral is deceased.

OPS_Melore says:
*MO*: How long ago?

CTO_Dee says:
::calls up the analysis on the unauthorized transporter readings... looking for anything::

XO_Danforth says:
OPS: No one goes anywhere, Mr. Melore.  No one.

Host MO_Duele says:
<Starshine> COM: OPS: No, this is ridiculous, we've been delayed for hours.  Ambassador Murdock is not a patient man.

Host MO_Duele says:
*OPS* Within the last two hours.

OPS_Melore says:
CTO: I think umm, oh heck I don't know what to think. The pieces pf the admiral where removed surgically and placed by hand.

CTO_Dee says:
::sends personnel to the SS Starshine in case there is trouble::

OPS_Melore says:
XO: The Starshine’s Captain is very angry sir.

Host MO_Duele says:
<Starshine> COM: OPS: If we had the weaponry, I would blast the bay doors in order to get out.  Now open up before we ram through them.

Host CO_Claymore says:
<Tari> ::looks over to Jason:: Self: What did you tell them? What do we need to do?

Host MO_Duele says:
ACTION: There is a power drain that traces back to a storage compartment outside engineering.

XO_Danforth says:
OPS: Let me talk to them.  Open a comm channel.

OPS_Melore says:
COM: Sunshine: Your funeral Captain, we have an investigation going on your stuck where you are till I hear otherwise.

XO_Danforth says:
COMM: Starshine: If you attempt to blast or ram your way out of here, we will shoot down your ship and hunt you across the galaxy.  You don't come into our house and treat us with this level of disrespect.  We are Starfleet Officers and not lapdogs.  If the situation were not the gravest, we would not keep you here.

XO_Danforth says:
::cuts the COMM::

CTO_Dee says:
Self: Bingo! ::turns to look at the XO with hope::  XO: Sir they were draining power from the station to use their transporter devices!

Host MO_Duele says:
<Starshine> COM: XO: Commander, you have no right to hold Ambassador Murdock here.  There is no reason that would validate such treatment.

OPS_Melore says:
CTO: I might suggest you activate the internal gun batteries in docking port 2. You might have to take out the Starshine's engines. They have threaten to ram the doors and depressurize the station.!

XO_Danforth says:
*Tari*: Ask the Captain if he believes there is an active plot against the Admiral specifically or if it extends to all of Starfleet.

CTO_Dee says:
::orders her men to make sure that the Starshine remains lock down at all cost::

XO_Danforth says:
CTO: What do we need to know from the Captain?  How can we determine which systems on the station were compromised?

OPS_Melore says:
::wonders how the Starshine's CO reacts when he sees internal weapons go active and grins with glee::

CTO_Dee says:
XO: hold on... ::traces the drain back to its source::  I have the position of the source…  Sir may I do another site to site to visually check it out.

Host CO_Claymore says:
<Tari>::moves over to Jason and places a hand on his shoulder:: CO: Jason? What did the Syndicate want to know about the Admiral?

OPS_Melore says:
::prepares to transport the CTO on the XOs command::

Host MO_Duele says:
ACTION:  Weapons fire is detected from the Starshine, but the shielding causes their weapons to overload resulting in a fire in the docking bay.

CTO_Dee says:
::grabs another phaser since her last one was blown out by the EM pulse::

XO_Danforth says:
CTO: Do it.

XO_Danforth says:
::nods to the OPS::

OPS_Melore says:
::hears the fire alert:: XO: Sir, those idiots fired their weapons! I'm detecting a fire.

CTO_Dee says:
::nods to the OPS that she is ready::

OPS_Melore says:
::initialized site-to-site transport on the CTO:: CTO: Good Luck!

Host MO_Duele says:
ACTION:  The CTO is transported to the corridor outside of engineering.

Host CO_Claymore says:
::calms a moment, thinking back... cringing from having to relive the torture to find out what he said:: Tari: the Admiral? ::stares blankly:: Her office... pass codes, security arrangements, station layout around it... security codes for power generator... all brig access codes... ::stops and grabs the couch... cringes at extremely intense pain::

XO_Danforth says:
OPS: You are in charge of handling that situation.  Make sure they don't damage the station, but disable their ship if you can.

CTO_Dee says:
::pulls out a tricorder and scans the compartment... seeing that nothing is registering she opens it up::

Host CO_Claymore says:
::screams out and grabs his stomach::

OPS_Melore says:
XO: With Pleasure!

OPS_Melore says:
::activates fire control systems in the docking bay::

Host CO_Claymore says:
<Tari>::has to leave Jason for a moment:: *XO*: Did you hear all that???

XO_Danforth says:
::nods silently:: *Tari*: Yes...yes I did.

Host MO_Duele says:
ACTION:  The CTO finds a stash of equipment protected by a dampening field.  Near the back of the area is the Admiral's remains.

XO_Danforth says:
*Tari*: Let him rest, Tari.  Let him rest.

XO_Danforth says:
OPS: Beam me directly to where the CTO is.  Now.

OPS_Melore says:
COM: Starshine: With Respect Captain, I doubt you got your command making foolish choices like that. Do it again and we will be forced to take offensive measures. How well do you think your ship will do against a Buckingham Class Starbase?

Host MO_Duele says:
ACTION:  Fire control extinguishes the fire.

CTO_Dee says:
::nearly gags and cover her mouth with her arm::  *XO*: Sir... I found the Admiral... she is dead sir.

Host CO_Claymore says:
::jumps up:: *XO*: They're gonna get her... look out... watch for them... ::runs around the room screaming:: They're coming, they're coming!!!

OPS_Melore says:
::nods and transports the XO to the CTO's location::

Host CO_Claymore says:
<Tari>::mutes comm then grabs Jason and pushes him down onto the couch, trying to get him to relax::

Host MO_Duele says:
<Starshine> ::surrounded by smoke and flames:: COM: OPS: I need a Secur...  ::collapses out of view::

CTO_Dee says:
::shallows and composes herself enough to turn off the dampening field::

Host CO_Claymore says:
<Tari> CO: Calm down Jason... please!

CTO_Dee says:
::scans the area looking for clues on how the equipment got there::  *medical*: I need a team here stat.

OPS_Melore says:
COM: Starshine: Come in Starshine.... Captain ....!

XO_Danforth says:
::beams in:: CTO: Report, Jazra.

Host MO_Duele says:
ACTION:  No response from the Starshine

XO_Danforth says:
::sees what she sees...and can't believe it.::

Host MO_Duele says:
*CTO* Aye sir.  ::activates an emergency site-to-site transport::

OPS_Melore says:
::scans the Starshine for Lifesigns::

Host MO_Duele says:
::materializes at the coordinates of the CTO:: CTO: What's the emergency, Lieutenant?

CTO_Dee says:
XO: Not much at the moment sir. ::scans the room and tries to keep her hand steady::  Wait, sir it appears the devices were transported here about the same time as the Captain's kidnapping.

Host MO_Duele says:
ACTION:  Scans reveal 20 lifesigns on the Starshine.

CTO_Dee says:
::points the MO to the remains::

OPS_Melore says:
*Medical/Security/Engineering*: Corresponding teams report to docking moore 2. the USS Starshine has damaged itself and they are not responding the hails check it out please.

Host MO_Duele says:
::follows the CTO's hand and turns quickly before vomiting:: Self:  I should have sent a forensics team.  ::sighs as she composes herself and walks toward the body::

OPS_Melore says:
*Medical*: There are 20 lifesigns on the Starshine

XO_Danforth says:
::can tell that the CTO is barely holding it together and puts his hand over hers while looking at her tricorder::

Host CO_Claymore says:
::sits down on the couch and stares past Tari... trying to remember what they said about the Admiral:: Tari: Admiral... danger... killed Tari... station gone. Why won't this end?!

XO_Danforth says:
CTO: I see, Jazra.  Can we tell if this is really the Admiral or a clone?

Host MO_Duele says:
::scans the body:: CTO: I can confirm that this is Admiral T'Sar and that her injuries were caused by surgical implements.  There's no trace of any kid of drug, she suffered.

CTO_Dee says:
::anger rises up in her::  XO: Sir request permission to interrogate our prisoners. ::voice is cold and harsh::

Host MO_Duele says:
*OPS* Can you transport them to sickbay, the staff there will see to their needs.

XO_Danforth says:
CTO: We'll go together.  I need answers and I need them now.

XO_Danforth says:
::begins heading toward the brig::

OPS_Melore says:
::locks on to the entire Starshine crew and beams them to predetermined locations in or near the infirmary on the medical deck::

XO_Danforth says:
*OPS*: Make sure all the security codes have been changed Mr. Melore.

CTO_Dee says:
::takes one last look at the Admiral and says under her breath:: They will pay... ::follows the XO::

OPS_Melore says:
::assumes engineers have begun to repair the damages and the sec officers should be running a quick sweep of the ship by now::

Host CO_Claymore says:
::jumps out of the chair and bolts for the door:: ALL: She's one of them!!!
