Previously on Arcadia:
Host Nick says:
The Cygnus is in orbit around a moon in the Epsilon Ceti system where a quarantine is under effect.
Host Nick says:
Dr. Maui, one of the Federation's foremost experts on the deadly Orcabous disease that is plaguing the moon, has beamed down to join the team of researchers trying to get the epidemic under control
Host Nick says:
In the mean time, Starfleet is searching desperately for the Ferengi cargo  ship believed to have brought the disease to this moon
Host Nick says:
So far, the inhabitants of the moon have not gone into full panic, and quarantine has not been broken, but with the moon's close proximity to the popular vacation spot of Risa, the danger for millions of starfleet officers and civilians in the system is very real
Host Nick says:
While scanning the system, Lieutenant Chambers has detected an illegal stash of Romulan Ale on one of the ships in the system, he has thus far been unable to acquire any for himself, despite his best illegal efforts.
Host Nick says:
Dr. Maui and the team of researchers on the moon have together been able to eliminate all but 2 known strains of the disease, but the death toll is rising...

<<<<<<<<<< Resume "Tides of Blood" - Part III >>>>>>>>>>
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::On bridge::CTO: Are other ships due to join in enforcing the quarantine? Also are any space capable craft secured on the moon? I want to know the likelihood even if the population panics of them getting off site.....
Nick is now known as Dr_Benton.
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: I'll check Boss... ::does a quick scan of the planet for vessels and checks the orders logs to see if any help is forthcoming::
Host Dr_Benton says:
@::Enters Maui's lab:: CMO: Dr. Maui, have you been able to eliminate either of the remaining strains?
TO_Ens_Lenara1 says:
::at tactical 2 reading some local reports::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::sits in her chair looking thoughtful, debating whether to contact the CMO or what for the normal report time...::
OPS_LtJg_Chambers says:
::on the bridge at his station::
CMO_LtJg_Maui says:
@::looks up as Dr. Benton enters:: Benton: no unfortunately not.
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: I'm picking up about a dozen shuttles, a Runabucket, and about a dozen workbees Boss.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: Are they secure? and what is the status of the quarantine ship screen?
TO_Ens_Lenara1 says:
CO: I was thinking we can use some probes to help with the quarintine screen.
TO_Ens_Lenara1 says:
CO: Extend are range captain.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
TO: identify any gaps and prep the probes but I want to hold off until I'm sure what Starfleet is planning...
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
TO: Work with Ops. ::Turns back to CTO::
TO_Ens_Lenara1 says:
::starts prepping probes:: OPS: I was thinking of using tachyon burst to identify gaps?
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: So far as I know all the Starfleet ships in the area are out looking for that Ferengi bloke. I believe the shuttles are secure Boss, but like anything else, that could change.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: Can we do anything from here to make them more secure?
CMO_LtJg_Maui says:
@::looks at the samples making notes on a PADD:: Benton: could you come look at this for me I have imagas of the 2 strains left and i'm comparing them to the samples but something seems very odd i can't wrap my tail around it.
OPS_LtJg_Chambers says:
TO: That might be possible. We would have to tweak the frequency.
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: I suppose we could beam off the fuel so they had no power?
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: Something we can undo, perhaps, what if there's a need we can't forsee.?
OPS_LtJg_Chambers says:
TO: I will also need to go down to Deflector control itself and re-alien the emitter itself. Something that is very delicate, and I would prefer to handle personally.
Host Dr_Benton says:
@CMO: Of course ::moves over and looks at the two strains, which to his not-expert-in-this-disease eye, look almost identical, although he is aware of the differences:: What's strange about this?
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: Do you think the probe net will be sufficient?
Host Dr_Benton says:
@::staring at the PADD suddenly he loses the ability to focus and starts to sway for a moment, then he collapses to the ground and vomits blood onto the floor::
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: Well, I reckon the sensor net would be enough. There's nothing on the moon that can outrun us. As for the shuttles themselves, we could beam off some of the engine parts.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Nods::CTO: lets keep a sensor lock on that area if it looks like it's a problem I'll want to have measures in place...
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: I'll COMM the local security and have them keep an eye on them. ::makes the COMM call::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::nods at CTO::
CMO_LtJg_Maui says:
@Self: Oh No ::she presses a button on her consule:: Emergency staff:: I need a team in here stat.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
OPS/TO: Hows he sensor net coming?
CMO_LtJg_Maui says:
@::Kneeling beside Dr.Benton: Benton: Why didn't you tell me you were infected. ::does what she can to help him as a team come in::
Host Dr_Benton says:
@CMO: I was trying to suffer through it to help you
TO_Ens_Lenara1 says:
CO: Were going to use a tachyon burst to look for weaker spots enhanced by the deflect dish
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
TO/OPS: Good plan proceed, let me know when everything is ready.
OPS_LtJg_Chambers says:
::masks a call to the Merchant vessel with the Romulan Ale onboard over the CTO's carrier signal to hide his transmission from the logs:: *Text*: I suggest your consider a different attitude before I contact the Risian Authorities about your little enterprise.
Host Dr_Benton says:
ACTION: 3 staff members, each of them already showing signs of stage 1 of the disease enter the lab to help the CMO
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
::Keeps an eye on the Tactical scanners and monitors local COMM traffic from Risan security::
OPS_LtJg_Chambers says:
CO: Aye Captain ::hands his station over to Crewman Ryte and heads for the turbolift to work on deflector calibrations::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Seeing everyone busy, taps a sequence into her consule sending a message to the medical facility on the moon, asking if the CMO is free.::
CMO_LtJg_Maui says:
@Staff: get him in a bed and start him on the stage 3 treatmant right away. Benton: your no help when your sick like this. but I understand why.
OPS_LtJg_Chambers says:
::thinks: Let em chew on that threat awhile::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Gets a response that she's busy, leaves a message for the CMO to send a report as soon as she is able, and offering assistance.::
OPS_LtJg_Chambers says:
Computer: Deflector control.
CMO_LtJg_Maui says:
@::after getting another staff member to clean up the floor she looks at the samples once more before being informed of request from the Captain as she looks up she quickly looks back at the samples and hastily contacts Captain Harker::
Host Dr_Benton says:
ACTION: The CMO's computer terminal sounds a chime indicating it's latest bit of data processing is complete.
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: So far everything seems to be under control. No riots and no attempts to break quarantine.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: So far so good, I hope the Doctor is able to make a break through soon. I don't want to push our luck....
Host Dr_Benton says:
<Computer> @CMO: Data Processing Complete, bio samples show negative for both test strains of Orcabous.
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: Me either.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
*CMO*: Hello Doctor Sorry to bother but any news?
TO_Ens_Lenara1 says:
OPS: I was thinking heard about the new arch did on rigellian 12?
CMO_LtJg_Maui says:
@::she looks at the information that has just completed:: *CO*: well its news but not the good kind sadly.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
*CMO*: What do you have?
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::She asks trying to brace for the worst.::
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
::Continues monitoring COMM traffic and Tactical sensors::
TO_Ens_Lenara1 says:
<edit out>
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
::Contacts the Starfleet vessels involved in the search for the Ferengi for an update on the search operation::
Host Dr_Benton says:
INFO: Incoming transmission from Starfleet
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: Incoming hail from HQ Boss.
CMO_LtJg_Maui says:
@*CO* we are dealing with a new strain all tegether and from what i've been able to see it looks like a hybrid of the 2 strains we thought it could have been.
OPS_LtJg_Chambers says:
<OPS_Ryte>: Shall I open a Channel sir?
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
OPS: One moment ops.
OPS_LtJg_Chambers says:
<edit last OPS line to include CO:>
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
*CMO*: Keep working on it, Starfleet's on the line, I'll call you back...Harker out.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
OPS: Open the channel
OPS_LtJg_Chambers says:
<OPS_Ryte> ::attempts to accept th transmission::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Sighing "hybrid strain" she thinks to herself unhappily as  she looks at the screen.::
OPS_LtJg_Chambers says:
::arrives at deflector control his teams waiting patiently outside the door he enters his access code to gain entry::
OPS_LtJg_Chambers says:
<OPS_Ryte>CO: On Screen Captain.
Host Dr_Benton says:
#<LtCmdr_Price> COM: Cygnus: Captain, listening posts have detected what appears to be the Ferengi cargo ship
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
*Price*: Understood are the search ships intercepting?
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Puzzled why she was called...::
CMO_LtJg_Maui says:
@::thinks to herself that she might need to send for some help after all and hates to put anyone else at risk but with all the staff infected she can't really do everything on her own she just hopes she doesn't get infected as well::
Host Dr_Benton says:
#<LtCmdr_Price> COM: Cygnus: I'm afraid the search ships are in the wrong areas at the moment, it is approximately 1.1 lightyears from you, at a dead stop, it is not answering any hails, we need you to go investigate right away.
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: Just what we need, locate and board a bloody plague ship.

Host Dr_Benton says:
#<LtCmdr_Price> COM: Cygnus: You can reach them faster then any of the other search ships, I don't need to stress to you how important containment of this disease is.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
*Price*: Understood do you have any other information we need?
TO_Ens_Lenara1 says:
::starts scan of area::
TO_Ens_Lenara1 says:
CO: completely abandoned, we can't pick up the ferengi on long range scans, however we are receiving starfleet's telemetry data
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Nods to show she heard the TO::
CMO_LtJg_Maui says:
@::sends a text communications requesting the captain to send down some personal to help her then starts on creating a treatment for this new strain::
Host Dr_Benton says:
#<LtCmdr_Price> COM: Cygnus: I've sent you all the data we have from our long range scans, and setting up a subspace link between you and the listening post that picked it up on long range sensors so you can be alerted if it moves.
OPS_LtJg_Chambers says:
<OPS_Ryte>CO: Should I recall the Chief Medical Officer to the ship?
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
*Price*: Understood. We're on our way Harker out.
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
Ryte: We can't, she's under quarantine.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
OPS Ryte: Quarantine. Tell her we need to go find out if there's anything she needs before we go.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
TO: Find out how long before the probes are ready if it's more than a few minutes we'll have to wait.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: anymore info on the plague ship?
TO_Ens_Lenara1 says:
::checking out probe's readiness::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
Helm: Set in a cautious course to the ferengi vessel.....let me know when you're ready..
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: I can use my riot squad as a boarding party Boss, they have their respirators that will protect them from the disease since it's airborne. We'll just need to make sure the transporter decon and biofilters are set to eliminate the threat.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: It's a hybrid will our decon procedures cover that?
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Stands but tries not to pace...::
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: So long as we know what it is, should work.
OPS_LtJg_Chambers says:
::nods to the CO:: <OPS_Ryte>*CMO*: We have a lead on the Ferengi ship and they want us to track her down, so we will need to leave orbit. Send up exact details of yours needs and we will transport them down before we leave orbit Doctor.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Sends the information the Doc sent to the CTO's screen...::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: thats what we're dealing with.
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: I have the data link from Starfleet, we have a track on the vessel. Seems to be like they said. Completely, dead in space.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: We'll need to get to their computers. I want to know where they've been and why...
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
OPS Ryte: Anything from the Doctor?
CMO_LtJg_Maui says:
@*OPS_Ryte*: i'll need four or five people to come down and help me distribute the treatment as soon as i have it.
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: Right. I'll try to do a remote tap in and download once we get in range, but we may need to board it. It is Ferengi.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: let the other ships know we've got to break orbit see who you can get over here to watch the place.. I don't want to leave our doctor unsupported..
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
OPS Ryte: Get her whatever supplies and medical volunteers she needs but hurry
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: On it. ::COMMs the other Starfleet vessels telling them to assume quarantine duty since the Cygnus is pulling out::
OPS_LtJg_Chambers says:
<OPS_Rtyte>CO: Yes, we are sending the requested supplies down now, but you should also know she did ask for a few additional personnel from her department. We should fulfill that request too, correct?
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
OPS Ryte: Volunteers only from the medical department, she wouldn't ask if it wasn't needed...
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::She sighs sadly.::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
TO: Tell ops to cancel the probe drop there's no time, we're pulling out to follow a lead..
OPS_LtJg_Chambers says:
::completes the adjustments to the deflector array::
TO_Ens_Lenara1 says:
*OPS*: Cancel the probe drop.
OPS_LtJg_Chambers says:
*TO*: Deflector Modifications complete.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
OPS Ryte/CTO: Let me know when we are ready to move...
OPS_LtJg_Chambers says:
*TO*: What!?! Why , say again I did not hear your last.
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: Tactical is ready. Waiting on the Medical and Operations folks.
TO_Ens_Lenara1 says:
*OPS*: We don't have time to launch  probes.
OPS_LtJg_Chambers says:
*TO*: Understood Ensign. ::wonders what is going on now::
OPS_LtJg_Chambers says:
<OPS_Ryte>CO: A few medical staff Volunteers and the requested supplies are ready for beam-down in Transporter Room 2.

CMO_LtJg_Maui says:
@::requests that any person that has been exposed but are showing no signs of infection provide samples of blood for testing.
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
*OPS*: We have a lead on the Ferengi ship and are about to move out to intercept it. Drop everything you are doing, we are turning the quarantine over to the other ships.
CMO_LtJg_Maui says:
@::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
Ryte: Transport them to the medical facility ::Blinks back hidden tears at the guts of the volunteers.::Let them know we'll return as soon as we can...

OPS_LtJg_Chambers says:
::curses but is careful not to show anger when speaking to his staff:: Crewman: Lets just leave the alignment how it is, secure everything and seal the hatch, I am returning to the bridge.
OPS_LtJg_Chambers says:
*CTO*: So we are leaving orbit?
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
Helm: As soon as the volunteers and supplies are away, set course to the ferengi ship, warp 9, engage.
OPS_LtJg_Chambers says:
::he fears the Romulan Ale will be gone by the time they get back::
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
*OPS*: Roger that, we are leaving to intercept the Ferengi vessel, we are the closest ship to it.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Considers the situation then says.:: Helm: Belay warp 9, make speed 9.92

Host Dr_Benton says:
ACTION: As The Cygnus warps away, Dr. Maui takes a moment to look out the window into space and see the tale-tell streak of light of a ship going to warp, as she turns back to her desk to continue her work, she fights back a minor spasm in her right arm, she grabs a hypospray and injects herself, knowing she has reached Stage 1....
