 XO Cmdr Rome
::stands up from the Science console and moves over to the middle of operations::
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
::in Spacedock Control, readying a console for control of both the shuttle and the Tillman::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
*FCO*: Chief Ryushi, how are we doing?
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
::in her ready room and takes a deep breath before tapping her combadge:: *CTO*: Lieutenant, would you come to my ready room, please?
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::Checking in with her teams as they scan the returning personnel and scan as they patrol the station and enforce the quarantine of the cargo bays::
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
*XO*: Commander would you take charge in operations please?
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
::hasn't been called "chief" since his days as Operations Manager on the Apache:: *XO*: Spacedock control is ready, sir. ::taps a few more buttons as the console to his right beeps several times:: Commander, we are receiving a hail... the USS Xerxes is inbound to Arcadia.
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::Walks over from her station at Tactical and rings the Ready Room chime, giving the XO a look as she does::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::turns to look over his shoulder at the CO, cowering in her Ready Room when she should be out here taking charge after the recent events:: *CO*: Yes Captain.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
*FCO*: Great, I've been waiting on them. Patch them through to Operations.
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
*XO*: Aye. ::plays with the console a bit more and transfers the hail to the main viewer in Ops::
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
CTO: Come in! ::pushes away a padd and closes down the file she was looking at::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::gives the CTO a look of encouragement::
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::Walks in and stands before the Commander's desk, comes to attention:: CO: Leftenant Murphy, reporting as ordered, Sir. ::said neutrally and at a normal volume::
 
Xerxes Capt Gloval:
#COM: Arcadia: XO: Starbase 101, this is Captain Sascha Gloval of the starship Xerxes. We're on route to deliver a VIP from Earth by the name of Preston Evans, Senior VP of Experimental Science, Daystar Genomics, Inc.
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
::pushes her chair back and stands:: CTO: Lieutenant, I read your report. Very good. I have drawn up according to your recommendations to honor those that gave their lives. I have also sent condolences personally to their families. Thank you for being that thoughtful.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
COM: Xerxes: CO: Captain Gloval, under different circumstances I would allow your ship to dock and your crew some time off...but as of a few hours ago, Arcadia was placed under full quarantine protocol by myself. How ever, you and your command staff, along with Mr. Evans are free to beam over, through our bio-filters.
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
CO: It was the least I could do, Sir, they were my people. I put them in for what they deserved. ::continues in a normal, neutral tone, carefully avoiding any emotion or vocal inflection::
 
Xerxes Capt Gloval:
#COM: Arcadia: XO: Excellent, commander. Mr. Evans transferred aboard our ship per Starfleet orders. He's the representative the Science Council was intending to send regarding a recent shipment you pulled from an Soyuz Class called... ::refers to his command chair console:: ...USS Tillman. We've also been given temporary assignment to patrol near Omicron Leonis until your station is complete. Apparently, the Nausicaans have been threatening trouble lately.

CO Cmdr Jakiel
CTO: Good. And well done. There is something to discuss about your subsequent 'readiness'. You're very sharp. Being so, do you think I would agree with destroying the Tillman or having weapons trained on the ship after we were given orders to study it and the fact that it is an historical relic? A simple yes or no will suffice.
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
CO: I'm sorry, Commander, but a simple yes or no won't cover it. The universe isn't black and white, there's lots of gray out here on the frontier.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
COM: Xerxes: CO: I appreciate it Captain, your help is most appreciated...just for now please stay away from the Tillman and our shuttles, quarantine protocols are still in effect.
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
*CO*: Captain, your permission to move the rest of the cryogen units to the Tillman and move the ship to the Station perimeter with the shuttle?
 
Xerxes Capt Gloval:
#COM: Arcadia: XO: Understood. Gloval out.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::nods as the line is cut::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::sits down in the center chair and brings up the status display::
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
CTO: In this instance it will suffice because I am asking if you thought I would agree to those actions. I think you know me well enough to think I would not. It is an extreme position. This station is primarily diplomatic and scientific, not destructive. The incident that happened was extreme rare and was contained quickly.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::punches a small comm button on his chair:: *CO*: Captain, the USS Xerxes is 4 hours out...Mr. Evans will be transporting over as soon as they enter the perimeter.
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
CTO: I want you to stand down on the weapons until I receive further orders from Harlan about the cryogens. They are physically removed. That is all, Lieutenant. Again I thank you. ::taps her combadge:: *XO*: Thank you. Noted.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::said under his breath:: Self: Hopefully he will take those bloody cryogens off our hands...
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
CO: There are no weapons trained on the ship, Commander. That firing pattern is simply a protocol, stored in the memory buffer for instant use. The launchers are unloaded and the weapons are powered down. It's my job to be ready to protect this installation against any threat. That's why I made the program.
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
*FCO*: Permission given. Do it with all swiftness.

FCO Lt Ryushi
*CO*: Aye, Captain.
 
Nurse Hunnicut:
*XO*: Commander Rome? This is sickbay. Sir, we have something you ought to see. It's...two of the crewpeople we had listed as dead...they're not quite so anymore. ::pauses:: My goodness...
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::punches the comm button:: *Sickbay*: Nurse.....Nurse!
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::stands up:: *CTO*: Murphy, get a team to sickbay now.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
Self: I'm going too...::walks towards the Turbolifts and waits for Murphy to join him::
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
::transports the cryogens back aboard the Tillman and uses the Control console to undock the ship from Tiers B. He moves it gracefully out the Spacedock doors and out to join the shuttle at the flight range perimeter::
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
::takes a deep breath:: CTO: Then we will leave it as such and nothing more. Resume your station. It looks as if we have another visitor. Dismissed. ::starts walking towards the door::
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
*XO*: On my way, Commander. *SRU*: SRU, report to sickbay on the double, assume Tactical stance and containment. ::runs out and heads for the TL::
 
Nurse Hunnicut:
*XO*: Y-yes, sir. It's Ensign Michelle Winters and Petty Officer Jerome White. We were about to do an autopsy on them, and they...just woke up. Dr. Trillian is with them now.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::steps inside:: CTO: Come on already.
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::Hops on:: XO: Sorry Boss, was in conference. ::winks::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
*Hunnicut*: Tactical officers are on their way..so am I, keep them restrained! That's an order.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::nods to the CTO grinning:: TL: Sickbay.
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
XO: Commander, please stay here for the moment. CTO: Lieutenant, make sure this time there is a forcefield in medical.
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::Gets her phaser and checks it's set for Level 3, Maximum stun::
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
CO: Aye Commander.
 
ACTION: Ryushi expertly guides the Tillman carefully out of dock to position near the type-9 shuttle outside the station. The cryogens were confirmed as successfully transported onto the Tillman. Workbees in the area are watching both vessels closely.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::stops the TL for a second:: CO: Sorry sir...I need to get down there, I have experience....I died too remember. With your permission?
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
TL: Sickbay, and step on it.
 
Nurse Hunnicut:
*XO*: Sir, they're making no sudden moves. They don't even know who they are, or where they are.
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
XO: No, I would like you stay here and let Lieutenant Murphy have a look first.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::gives her a glare, then steps back out of the TL and looks at Murphy:: CTO: I want a report as soon as you're there...I'll join you when I can.
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
XO: Aye Sir. I'll get a handle on things in a jiffy. ::sets the TL on it's way::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
*Hunnicut*: Keep them restrained, Tactical will inform me if they are to be let lose. Give them a full medical scan....then report to ops.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::stands in front of the CO:: CO: Yes sir?
 
Nurse Hunnicut:
*XO*: Aye, sir. ::goes to his ACMO Trillian Zeller to relay the orders::
 
<SRU> ::Arrives and surrounds Sickbay with forcefields and covers all entrances, containing the area and sealing it off from all other sections of the station both Tactically and physically::
 
<Dr Zeller> Hunnicut: Did I just hear correctly?! ::stands with a fluid grace::
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
::moves to a console as it begins chirping rapidly:: *XO*: Commander, I'm receiving a reading that one of our cryogen containers on the Tillman just unlocked itself.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
*FCO*: Stand by Chief.
 
<SRU> *CTO*: Sickbay is contained. All teams in place, forcefields up.
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
XO: I do not want a repeat of the deaths we saw. ::lowers her voice:: And you keep those angry looks to yourself...even if I can 'tell' you still have those feelings. ::raises her voice again:: A minute to find out what is happening first is prudent.
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
*SRU*: Roger that, I'll be there shortly.
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::Hops off the TL as it stops and trots to the main entrance of Sickbay::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
CO: Yes sir...and standing around in Operations is not helping with that...::his voice stern:: I'm sorry, but I find myself disagreeing with your decisions here. But first....the cryogen, we need to put a tractor on the Tillman and target it with our weapons, yes?
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
::looks at Rome as she hears the flight officer:: XO: Not a second too soon to have those removed. ::waits to hear what just opened it::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
*FCO*: Any data on how it got unsealed?
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
::lowers her voice again:: XO: Commander, you will not voice your disagreement here in front of the rest of the crew. We will talk later.
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::Has one team follow her in, the rest remain in position, enters Sickbay, weapons ready, and puts the forcefield up behind them once they enter:: *XO*: Tactical has entered Sickbay, the area is sealed off and secured. More shortly.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::lowers his voice:: CO: Sir, my job is to voice my opinions and give you my views on other methods available.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::taps his badge:: *CTO*: Acknowledged, Rome out.
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
*XO*: Standby...
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
::shakes her head:: XO: No, weapons are not needed yet. There is no precedent for physical aliens to fly through space on their own. Get Harlan advised at once and ask for an immediate answer.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::nods and moves over to the OPS console::
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::Moves carefully with her team until she locates the Nurse and the recently undead::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
OPS: Get me Admiral Harlan please.
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
Nurse: Report, please?
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
XO: And I respect your views, but not with anger. Have flight move the Tillman and the shuttle a little farther. Find out if medical has sensor readings on what is going on.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::just nods:: *FCO*: Chief Ryushi, please move the Tillman and the shuttle out farther, your discretion. But make sure we're safe from danger.
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
*XO*: It looks like the unit unlocked itself... it was on some sort of pre-programmed timing system. A second unit just unlocked itself, by the way.
 
Chief Nurse Hamilton:
CTO: They're resting, but are as confused and frightened as little children. Bioscans read them as being quite dead cardiovascularly, but there's brainwave activity.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::a chill runs down his spine::
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::Deploys her team so at least one of them has a clear shot at the undead no matter what happens, then listens to the Nurse, still watching the bodies::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
*Sickbay*: Sickbay, this is Rome.....can anyone of you tell me what's happening over on the Tillman? You have the most recent data on the cryogens, now they seem to be opening up on their own.
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
Nurse: So what is allowing them to move and speak physically then? Any clues?
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
XO: Find out if Evans is on the station yet and if he is have him escorted here immediately.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
CO: I told you earlier sir, they are 4 hours out.
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
*XO*: Both vessels are at the edge of the controllable flight range - its the border where we generally take control of incoming vessels to fly the approach and dock them... I can program them to move themselves further away, but in order to get them back, someone would have to go out and physically pilot them back within range.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
*FCO*: Can we send out a runabout with your people to handle that, keep a look out and watch them?
 
Chief Nurse Hamilton:
CTO: Dr. Zeller is running scans now. But...it's the damndest thing! Nothing is keeping them alive...except that we're detecting the presence of higher-than-normal ATP energy in their cells. It seems the mitochondria in their bodies are still alive, even though the cells are dying rapidly.
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
XO: Can you get Evans on comm? I wouldn't be surprised if he knows something we don't.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::looks at OPS:: OPS: Put Harlan on hold, and get me the Xerxes.
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
*XO*: Commander, like any good department head, I resent having to put anyone on my staff -on- either of those vessels...
 
XO Cmdr Rome
*FCO*: It's a request Chief, not an order. I will understand if you think it's a bad idea....but we need ideas.
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
*XO*: Situation appears to be under control at the moment Sir, Tactically. I do have some biohazard concerns, however. Medical doesn't know how the bodies are being animated. They are clinically dead, but have brain activity and energy in their cells, even though the cells are dying.
 
<Duty OPS> XO: Aye, sir. Xerxes is responding. ::puts it on viewer::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
*CTO*: Thank you Murphy, you stay put down there...see if you can get them talking. Report back later. Rome out.
 
Xerxes Capt Gloval:
#COM: Arcadia: XO: Gloval here.
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
*XO*: Aye Sir.

XO Cmdr Rome
COM: Xerxes: CO: Captain. We need to talk to Mr. Evans immediately. 

XO Cmdr Rome
::steps aside to let the CO take over::
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::Carefully approaches the former Ensign Michelle Winters and attempts to speak with her:: Winters: Michelle? How are you feeling? Can you tell me what happened?
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
*XO*: At this point, I think it's inadvisable to move them beyond our direct control. They are a good distance from the station; there's certainly enough room to use the weapons or tractor beams to detain them if we were to lose control and they were to start moving.
 
Xerxes Capt Gloval:
#COM: Arcadia: CO: Of course. I just had a talk with him in my ready room. One second... ::the view zooms out to show Evans::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::moves out of the camera's view and taps his badge::*FCO*: Then I will take your advise, just let me know if anything changes.
 
Preston Evans:
#COM: Arcadia: CO: What can I do for you...captain, is that right? I'm not good with the ranks.
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
::nods to Rome and then hears Murphy's report:: XO: Have flight monitor for any transporter activity or...sensor readings on any anomalous frequencies. I wonder...
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
*XO*: Aye, thank you, sir. I'll keep you advised. Ryushi out.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
*FCO*: Also monitor the Tillman's transporter activity and sensor readings. Rome out.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::turns to the OPS officer:: OPS: Get me Harlan and patch him through to my station. Priority One.
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
XO: I read the medical reports on Sinjin, or the humanoid saying he was. He was killed by a remote source. Telepaths...there are some known to affect from a distance.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::just nods::
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
COM:Evans: Yes, Captain Jakiel. We have a situation here that I need to speak with you about.
 
Preston Evans:
#COM: Arcadia: CO: I see. If it's regarding the cryogens, it'll have to wait until I get there. The Science Council forbids me to speak of them over subspace.
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
COM:Evans: I am not surprised. Then we will talk when you arrive.
