Host Nick says:
Previously on Arcadia: Most of the crew is aboard the U.S.S. Cygnus and are escorting a Ferengi vessel believed to be the one that delivered a horrible virus to a moon in the Epsilon Ceti system back to the moon
Host Nick says:
They have just reached the end of a region of space where warp fields cannot be established (although it has no problem keeping the warp field intact if it is already established) and are about to go to warp
Host Nick says:
Meanwhile, back on the moon, Dr. Maui and a small team have been working tirelessly to combat the disease.
Host Nick says:
Dr. Maui herself has unfortunately now contracted the virus and has reached Stage 3 of the disease, but while she has not been able to cure the disease, she has been able to slow it's progression, holding herself at Stage 3, and others at Stages 4 and 5 without the natural progression to Stage 6 (i.e. Death)
Host Nick says:
A new hope has arrived in that an unopened canister containing sample of the original virus has now been found, and she is tirelessly attempting to find a cure.
Host Nick says:
Will she find a cure in time to save Dr. Benton and the thousands of people living on this moon, not to mention, can she save herself, will the Ferengi be able to shed anymore light on how the virus got there in the first place, the answers to these questions and more revealed Next, on Arcadia: Tides of Blood - Part V

Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
Ops: Make sure the Feregeni's have the coordinates, what is their top speed?
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
::at the Tactical station maintaining scans of the area for hazards and keeping an eye on the Ferengi vessel::
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
::back at operations console::
TO_Ens_Lenara says:
::at tactical two;;
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: Boss, I hate to bring this up, but it's me job to be the pessimist. What if those big-eared buggers don't want ta come along with us?
CMO_LtJg_Maui says:
@::holds on to her work station as a trimmer runs through her. one of the personal that came to assist her brings her some water::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: They've been willing so far what do you suggest?
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
CO: Captain top speed is 7.9
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CO: Are they ready to go?
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: Just thinking we might be prepared for contingencies is all. ::shrugs::
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
::sends the ferengi with the details as requested::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: And you have a suggestion?
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: Be prepared to tractor them ... or disable them if they make a run for it. They are under quarantine rules, aye?
Host Nick says:
INFO: As the latest scan of the fresh virus sample the CMO was scanning completes, the computer chirps with the findings.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: Yes they are until our Doc's clear them. That sounds fair, make whatever preparations you need...
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: I'll be glad when this is over...
TO_Ens_Lenara says:
CTO: I was thinking we can use a decoy shuttle to distract them.
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: Did that half an hour ago Boss, was just checking with ye fer permission first. ::winks and goes back to watching the scans::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
Helm: Set course for the Risan Moon speed 7.9, prepare to engage
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
CO: You think the Federation will file formal charges on the ferengi Captain?
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: Of course...::a small smile::
CMO_LtJg_Maui says:
@::she drinks the water then goes to look at the computer findings::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
OPS: That would be up to them and whatever other evidence was gathered...
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
OPS: Are the Ferengi ready?
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
CO: They have to be wondering the same thing, I think the Ferengi where being agreeable fir a reason they have to still be hiding something I think.
CMO_LtJg_Maui says:
@All: Yes I've found it. ::she stands up but her legs are too shakey so she sits back down::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
OPS:  have them warp we'll follow
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
OPS: We'll be keeping an eye on them...
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
ALL: Not only that, but this delay is costing them money, and that has to be killing them.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: Their not the only ones the delay is killing..::She mutters.::
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: Aye, there is that, but it's not technically their fault. They only brought what that researcher asked fer. Pity they didn't check the samples first tho.
TO_Ens_Lenara says:
Co: i wonder if any ferengi colonies got hit with this?
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
COM: Zork: Are you ready to get underway Captain?
Host Nick says:
INFO: The Ferengi is ready to go to warp
Host Nick says:
<Zork> #COM: OPS: We're ready when you are Cygnus
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
CO: they confirm ready Sir
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: They're cargo transporters not inspectors, if the inspectors slacked or the ferengi's managed to avoid a proper inspection Starfleet will find out....
CMO_LtJg_Maui says:
@::begins the process of synthesizing an Antigen.::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
OPS: Have them warp, we'll be following.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
Helm: soon as the Ferengi warp, follow.
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: Right. I guess we can't expect everyone to be up to Starfleet standards, but a bit of professionalism and common sense would be nice. ::grumbles::
Host Nick says:
ACTION: The Ferengi go to warp
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
::agrees::
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
<Helm_Flyboy> ::Engages warp and sets course and speed to follow the Ferengi at a safe distance::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
Helm: ETA to Risan Moon?
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
<Helm_Flyboy> CO: Approximately 9.5 hours at present speed on this heading Captain.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
Helm: Thank you.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: I wish we could speed the ferengi along...::muttering...::
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
<Helm_Flyboy> ::nods and goes back to monitoring his systems::
Host Nick says:
INFO: The CMO is able to fill several hypos with a few variants of the antigen she synthesized
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: I'd be more worried what kinda progress the Doc is making and not what progress we are Boss. We aren't bringing back anything they don't have, just missing pieces of the puzzle as to why it started.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
OPS: Could we extend shields and speed this along?
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: Point, guess I am just impatient to get back.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
OPS: Cancel that thought, please contact the Risan Moon and fill them in, see if we can get a report on their end with whats happening....
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: We all are Boss, it's not easy leaving folks behind in harms way.
CMO_LtJg_Maui says:
@::she asks her assistant to take the hypo sprays and try them on a few of the patients::
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
::nods::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Nods in response to the CTO::
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
::attempts to reach someone at the Risan authority::
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: Relax a bit Boss, our Doc is one of the experts on this bugger. If anyone can beat it, she will.
Host Nick says:
<Iarana> $COM: OPS: This is Iarana with the Risan Authority, how may I assist you
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: You're right, I know but doing nothing is not something I'm good at...
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: Each according to their strengths, Boss. Sometimes ye lead, sometimes ye follow, and sometimes ye just get outta the way. ::smirks::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::smiles.::CTO: I prefer getting people out of my way...
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
COM: Larana: We tracked down the merchant vessel that may be directly responsible for the break out, we are about 9 hours out at our best speed. My Captain would like a break down of the situation there in the meantime.
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
::shrugs::
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
::Continues monitoring her Tactical scanners checking the area and making sure there is no traffic in the flightpath::

SCENE: Sensors detect an energy buildup on the Ferengi ship
TO_Ens_Lenara says:
CO: I was thinking we can feather and tar folk responsible for virus.
TO_Ens_Lenara says:
CO: Captain energy buildup on ferengi ship
CMO_LtJg_Maui says:
@::waits for any results from the attempt on the Antigen::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
OPS: Tell Risa we'll call them back contact the Ferengi ship, find out whats happening.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: Anything on sensors?
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: Fer some reason there is a buildup in their impulse reactors Boss, they should be shut down at warp, eh?
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
OPS: I'd contact them, we know they don't have Engineers, remember? That's why they were stuck in the first place.
Host Nick says:
<Zork> #COM: Cygnus: Cygnus, this is Zork, something is wrong...
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
COM: Zork: Report Captain
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
*sighs* OPS: Have them make sure their impulse engines are offline.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Stands as Zork appears on the screen...::
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
CO: The Ferengi vessel looks to b reading a unusually build up in impulse reactor. 
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
<edit second to last to below ops last>
Host Nick says:
<Zork> #COM: OPS: Our impulse reactor is overloading, We don't know why, we are trying to shut it down
TO_Ens_Lenara says:
OPS: Sabotage?
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
OPS: Have them come to a full stop, turn all engines back to stop.
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
CO: They are Trying.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
Helm: Prepare to come to a stop.
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
<Helm_Flyboy> CO: Aye Captain, preparing to drop out of warp and come to a stop when the Ferengi do, ::readies the controls::
Host Nick says:
ACTION: The ferengi ship comes to a complete stop, but the impulse reactor is still firing as if they were going full impulse
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
<Helm_Flyboy> CO: Helm answers all stop Captain.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
OPS: Can sensors sort out their problem?
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: We may need to send a team, prepare an engineering based away team.
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: Aye Captain. ::Contacts the Engineers to get an away team ready and has a Tactical team go to the transporter room as well::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
OPS: Prepare transporter locks in case we need to beam them off....
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
::tries hard to determine the problem with the Ferengi impulse drive using sensors::
Host Nick says:
ACTION: One of the four antigens injected into patients seems to be working, the patients injected with it have all backed down one stage of the disease
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: Did ye want me to go Boss? I got a lot of training on ships systems when I took those courses on antiterrorist and explosive ordnance disposal.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: Let's see what ops comes up with first but sure I don't completely trust these feregeni if you can learn something by being over there so much the better....
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: We should keep the team small to avoid scaring them and to lessen chance of infection....
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
::sets up a bio containments field in cargo bay one::
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: Right. I'll go with the Engineers. Should be enough. TO: Take over Tactical.
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
CO: Bio contaiminant locks in  place in cargo bay one if I need to beam them of do I have permission to beam them there?
CMO_LtJg_Maui says:
@::looks at the antigen that seems to be working and trys to improve it as much as she can::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
OPS: Keep a lock we'll beam if situation becomes life threatening...
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
CO: Aye
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
OPS: Anything on sensors?
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
OPS: Do they know anything more about why their impulse is acting up? Are we going to need to send a team?
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
CO: Sigh, still scanning results I hope momentarily
TO_Ens_Lenara says:
CO: yes ma'am.
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
COM: Zork: Captain has this ever happen before can you offer us any insight that might help you with this problem?
Host Nick says:
INFO: The doctor's efforts are finally showing fruit, her new antigens are working and it looks like there may indeed be a cure now
Host Nick says:
ACTION: Meanwhile, the ferengi's impulse drive goes critical, and with little warning, detonates with the force of a small nuke...
