@ *Maxtonda*: He died due to the same virus that is ravaging his people, Chief. I'm not sure how we missed the earlier signs of it in his body, but trust me, that's what he died from.
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
*OPS* Thanks. ::Performs launch sequence and clears the ship... the one named Claymore.::

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
XO: .... I can bring it down with a modified tachyon pulse that would cause a cascade fault in their shield emitters, making it look like a system wide malfunction... they would need to reset, it would take a few minutes.

XO: The Away Team has landed safely Commander.
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
*Maritime*: Thanks a lot, Anita. ::Starts comparing the readings on the glycoproteins with cells found in Carptheu.::

XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CEO: Wonderful. Keep that in your back pocket in case we need it, Caleb.

CMO_Lt_Endo says:
::Rests his head resignedly on his console for a moment.:: *Maritime*: Anita, I just realized something... these viruses are infecting plants...
CSO_Lt_TShara says:
@EO: I think our best bet is to get to the kitchen and begin scanning for any virus or poison.
SecurityChief_Maxtonda says:
@*Rogers*: You may share the data however I want you to stay on the planet.
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@::Falls in behind the TO.:: TO: Lead on Miss Security Goddess.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
XO: What are we doing?
CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
@*XO*: Its kind of important. I asked for an updated Intel report of Romulan activity in this sector and haven't gotten anything from Star Fleet as of yet.
TO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::Bows flagrantly.:: FCO: Why thank you Lieutenant.
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
<Maritime> *CMO*: Yeah, Corzi. I just thought of that myself....

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
XO: Oh... who are the Karp-Two?
CSO_Lt_TShara says:
@EO: Good work that should help us in our investigation. Also, we need to see about getting any details we can on the power grid of the palace. Especially the shield system would be of use. But, I don't want this to be detected if possible.

@::Taps combadge.:: COM:  Claymore: Captain Hall to Claymore. The CTO and I are being released. Prepare to transport us back to the ship.
CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
@::Moves towards the opening.:: Maxtonda: You might want to inquire upon that with your Intel people.
SecurityChief_Maxtonda says:
@CO/CTO: Please step through as soon as I have made the opening.
TO_Ens_Pierce says:
@FCO: Not with this big dome shield thing... I'll need to scan for some weak spot.
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
XO: Commander currently no progress on the message. We only have 3.43% of the entire message. From what I can tell so far its been encrypted digitally. I will inform you if anything new appears.
SecurityChief_Maxtonda says:
@::Activates the device; a 2 x 1 meter opening appears.::
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
COM: CO: Tell the planet to lower it's shields and we'll beam you up.
CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
@::Steps through the opening after the CO.::
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@TO: Okay Evelyn. Let me know if/when you find something and we'll report to T'Shara.
CSO_Lt_TShara says:
@COM: Maxtonda: Permission to enter the Palace and help in the investigation of the death of your President.
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
OPS: Understood.
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
@::Steps through.::
CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
Endo: I was just thinking... since they are plant like... my sister, Vica, had a garden that accidentally got sprayed with pesticide. She used a water-based solution to rinse them and soak their roots in. If this is at all applicable.
SecurityChief_Maxtonda says:
@::Closes the opening.::
EO_Ltjg_Hayward says:
@::Scans the power grid now that they're closer.:: Self: hmm Can I bring the grid down?
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
COM: Rogers: Have you made any progress against the virus? Perhaps a vaccine or something? I don't know the workings of plant viruses well, but I'm sure there's some way to vaccinate.
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
COM: Captain Hall: Acknowledged Captain.
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
@COM: Claymore: We are outside the shield now Commander. You may energize when ready.
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CIV: Take us to yellow alert; just don't raise shields until the Captain is aboard.
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
CEO: Wait? The virus?
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
XO: Commander Captain Hall and Lt. Anthony have been released.
Doctor_Rogers says:
@COM: Claymore - CMO: Not yet, using the data Doctor Ischov provided us, and his own theories, it has been determined that the virus was definitely genetically engineered.
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
OPS: Energize.
CIV_Ens_T`Vok says:
XO: Understood. ::Does as ordered.::
CSO_Lt_TShara says:
::Takes out her tricorder and begins scanning.::
CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
@::Awaits the transporter beam.::
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
::Initiates transporters.::
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
CEO: I thought we were talking about the poison....
Host President_Roxton says:
ACTION: THE CO AND CTO ARRIVE BACK ON THE CLAYMORE IN TRANSPORTER ROOM 1.
CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
Endo: I guess... I don't know just trying to be helpful.
TO_Ens_Pierce says:
@Self: Huh? ::Checks the tricorder and waves it in front of the FCO.:: FCO: Does this say what I think it says? CO and CTO have been released.
SecurityChief_Maxtonda says:
@::CSO's COMM is routed to him.::
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CIV: As soon as Mr. Sorvik lets you know the CO is aboard, raise shields.
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
XO: Captain Hall and Lt. Anthony are in TR1 Commander.
CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
::Heads for the Bridge.::
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
CEO: I understand, Caleb... maybe you could help us out in Sickbay or something if you know any botany... we might end up needing it...
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@::Surprised look.:: TO: Apparently so... ::grins:: Well done Ensign. Our mission is a success.
CSO_Lt_TShara says:
@EO: Are you coming up with anything Lt. on the grid?
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
XO: Shall I have the Away team return to the Claymore Commander?
SecurityChief_Maxtonda says:
@*CSO*: I appreciate your request however at this time we can handle matters.
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
COM: Rogers: Of course... it came about so suddenly.
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
::Exits the TR and heads into a TL.:: Computer: Computer, Bridge..
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
COM: Rogers: Do you have any leads as to who did it?
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@*CSO*: ::uses encrypted channel:: LT... apparently the CO and CTO have been released. Orders?
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
::Steps out of the TL.:: XO: Report Number 1.
CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
Endo: I know a little botany.. they wouldn't let me get through the academy without another science field course... I know a little.
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
OPS: Not quite yet.....I'd like to talk to the CO first......And us lending our help in the investigation would still be in order.
SecurityChief_Maxtonda says:
@::Stops staring at the spot the CO left from and returns to Palace.::
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
XO: Aye Commander.
CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
::Arrives on the Bridge moments later and moves to his station to re-request the Intel report.::
Doctor_Rogers says:
@ COM: Claymore - CMO: Doctor Ischov theories suggest possible Romulan influence. The Vulcan Fungii, while coming from a Federation world, could have been easily acquired through other means ... but it's combination with other virulent strains in order to assault a humanoid / plant hybrid solely make it suspect.
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
::Grins:: CEO: If you want, run down to Sickbay and make sure every orderly, nurse, doctor, everyone knows at least as much as you. I want as many minds as I can get on this.
CSO_Lt_TShara says:
@*FCO*: ::uses encrypted channel.:: Understood. Standby for further orders.
EO_Ltjg_Hayward says:
@CSO: We can disable it. We'd need to overload it. ::sly smile:: To them it would look like a common power outage. There are redundancies throughout however; operating independently, but we can take the mains off line.
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
::Walks down to his chair.::
Doctor_Rogers says:
@ COM: Claymore - CMO: That type of genetic engineering isn't legal, or to my knowledge, possible in the Federation ... however, he said he has heard stories about the Romulans ...
Host President_Roxton says:
@*Maxtonda*: Anything new to report?
SecurityChief_Maxtonda says:
@*Roxton*: Captain Hall and Mr. Anthony have left the planet sir. Their landing party is under observation.
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CO: We have an anomaly coming at us. We're at yellow alert as a precaution. We have an AT on the planet assisting in the research as to who planted the disease and why.
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@::Gives the TO a serious look.:: TO: We have been officially ordered to twiddle our thumbs for now... you take the first shift.
CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
Endo: Run.. Right.... I'll try to help Spots.
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
::Rubs his chin.:: COM: Rogers: Romulans... they have experimented quite a bit with genetic engineering before. A virus would be a piece of cake...
CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Gets up and hobbles to the Turbo lift.::
CSO_Lt_TShara says:
@*SecurityChief_Maxtonda*: My team is here to offer our assistance in the investigation.
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
CEO: Thanks... Spotless
TO_Ens_Pierce says:
@FCO: Ah, but 5 minute shifts tops okay? ::Twiddles thumbs.::
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
XO: Where did the anomaly first appear?
CIV_Ens_T`Vok says:
::Tries to gain more information on the anomaly.::
Doctor_Rogers says:
@ COM: Claymore - CMO: Apparently so, while I'm not that good with politics or military strategy, I don't see what the Romulans would gain by wiping out the Carptheu ...
CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Heads to Sickbay.::
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CIV: Where did you first pick the anomaly up?
SecurityChief_Maxtonda says:
@*Roxton*: Dr. Rogers is working with the Claymore science people. I'm going to the doctor's office now.
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@TO: 5 minute shifts. Noted and logged. ::grins::
CIV_Ens_T`Vok says:
CO/XO: 18 light years out, now 16 light years. Course appears to be erratic.
CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
::Begins to look over the LRS on the Anomaly and studies it carefully.::
SecurityChief_Maxtonda says:
@*CSO*: I believe your ship has all the information we have. You would be best served to go there. ::Ruffles his feathers in annoyance.::
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
COM: Rogers: Neither do I, Doctor Rogers. But I'll make sure that everyone on this ship who knows politics knows that there have been whispers of Rommies... we'll see what they could possibly gain from this.
EO_Ltjg_Hayward says:
@CSO: Perhaps we should contact the ship. They might have better luck communicating our intentions.
CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
CIV_Ens_T`Vok: What’s its speed?
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
CIV: Could it be a cloaked ship?
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
COM: Rogers: Anyone else on your suspect list?
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
OPS/CIV: Possibility of the anomaly being a cloaked ship? Is it sending or receiving any transmissions?
SecurityChief_Maxtonda says:
@::Continues to Rogers' office.::
TO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::Looks at her tricorder.:: FCO: Okay, that's five minutes. Your turn.
Doctor_Rogers says:
@COM: Claymore - CMO: Not unless the Federation is interested in taking out it's own citizens.
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@::Looks at the TO strangely.:: TO: Ummm... you know I was kidding... right? Don't they issue a sense of humor in security school?
CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Enters Sickbay.:: All: I'm hear to help...
CIV_Ens_T`Vok says:
CO: I do not know at this time, but it would be a strong possibility. No transmissions detected, and its speed appears to average less than 1/4th impulse.
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
XO: Possibility Commander. However it could be nothing more than a Romulan spy probe.
CSO_Lt_TShara says:
@EO: Agreed.
CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
::Puts the Anomaly on a small view screen to observe its movement.::
SecurityChief_Maxtonda says:
@::Just as he approaches Rogers' door Maxtonda receives a report that the Nyi held for interrogation has died.::
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
COM: Rogers: We have to assume the Federation is, or someone in the Federation, at least. Do you have any suspicious activity to report of anyone prior to or after Grange's death?
CSO_Lt_TShara says:
@*SecurityChief_Maxtona*: Understood.
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
OPS: See if you can get anything more particular on it.
CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Seconds later a nurse trips over Caleb's Cane, collides with a Doctor knocking him into the wall and unconscious. The poor Nurse breaking her ankle, while another nurse trips over the fallen Doctor and breaks her arm.::
SecurityChief_Maxtonda says:
@::Gnashing his beak in extreme anger he enters the doctor's office.::
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
XO: Of Course Commander.
CNS_Lt_Hunter says:
::Bristles on hearing about Romulans.::
Host President_Roxton says:

Doctor_Rogers says:
@::Finds it surprising that a Starfleet officer would assume that there was involvement from within the Federation.::
SecurityChief_Maxtonda says:
@Rogers: Report doctor.
TO_Ens_Pierce says:
@FCO: Security school? What's that? Was I supposed to go to that?
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
XO: Have you tried opening a hailing frequency yet?
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@::Starts to laugh then stops.:: TO: Hear that?
Doctor_Rogers says:
@::Turns to see Maxtonda enter.:: Maxtonda: I am speaking to Doctor Endo on the Claymore in regard to the President's death, Chief.
CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
All: Oohhhh.... I'll just leave... ::Turns around.::
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CO: Negative, Sir.
TO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::Turns her head abruptly to the left.:: FCO: Yeah... your friends?
CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
*Endo*: Doctor Spots... they need you in Sickbay.
SecurityChief_Maxtonda says:
@Rogers: Can you explain just why the initial report was poison?
CIV_Ens_T`Vok says:
::Continues checking readings.:: XO: I would be highly surprised if this turned out to be a naturally occurring anomaly ma'am.
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
::Looks at the data collected on the anomaly so far.::
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@::Slowly begins to move over and look over the rock outcropping.::
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
OPS: Open a hailing frequency and translate in all languages.
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CIV: You and me both, but we need some hints as to what it might be.
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
*CEO*: What happened, Spotless?
Doctor_Rogers says:
@Maxtonda: The initial report was true to a point ... there was a poison in the President's food and blood system.
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
CO: Aye Captain. ::Opens a hailing frequency.::
CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
*Endo*: I tried to help.
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
CO: COMM open Captain.
CSO_Lt_TShara says:
@COMM: CO/XO: ::Uses encrypted channel.:: Sir I have contacted Security on the planet and have offered our service to assist in the investigation but so far have no luck. Maxtonda informed me that the Claymore has all the information they have so far and we should return to the ship. Please advise.
SecurityChief_Maxtonda says:
@::Taps a talon impatiently.::
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@::Motions for the TO to join him.::
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
COMM: Anomaly: This is Captain William Hall of the Federation Starship Claymore. Please respond.
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
*CEO*: I didn't say TOUCH anything! I just wanted you to tell these people what you knew.
TO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::Points her tricorder in that direction, walking after the FCO.::
CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
CO_Captain_William_Hall: It could be a cloaked Scout ship.
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
COM: AT: Anything we should be aware of before ordering you back to the ship?
CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
*Endo*: I didn't.. I swear.. I just walked in the door.
CIV_Ens_T`Vok says:
CO/XO: Sir, the anomaly appears to be stopped!
SecurityChief_Maxtonda says:
@Rogers: And your people are so incompetent they couldn't tell the difference between the virus and other poisons?
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
*CEO*: Oh dear...
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CIV: Just after our hail or upon a specific scan.
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
*CEO*: I'll be right there. ::Rolls his eyes.::
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
CIV: Any changes other than that?
CIV_Ens_T`Vok says:
XO: Appears to be just after the hail ma'am.
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@COMM: XO: There seems to be some sort of disturbance with some of the local birds. We're taking a look.
Doctor_Rogers says:
@::Takes a breath:: Maxtonda: This is an entirely new virus ... we have little to no information on it.
SecurityChief_Maxtonda says:
@::Receives a report that the shuttlecraft hasn't launched yet.::
CIV_Ens_T`Vok says:
XO: No other changes that I can detect at this time sir.
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
COM: Rogers: Doctor Rogers... I'm afraid I have to leave now; our Chief Engineer apparently hurt some people in Sickbay.
CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
*Endo*: I'll be Engineering.... ::Heads back to a place where he can't injure people.::
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:

SecurityChief_Maxtonda says:
@::Swings his large beak back toward Rogers barely missing his head.:: Rogers: New virus? Explain.
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
COM: CSO: Hold your position until I hear from the FCO and TO.
EO_Ltjg_Hayward says:
@CSO: Ma'am...I have the location of the service entrance.... I’m fairly certain we could get in undetected. The question remains, do theses people want our help? There actions indicate they don't require assistance, nor desire it. And we still haven't heard from the ship.
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
COMM: Anomaly: I repeat. This is Captain William Hall of the Claymore. Please respond. ::tries again.::
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@*CSO*: ::using encrypted channel:: We seem to have a.... a bird fight?
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
XO: Kaly... did you overhear any of my conversation with Rogers?
Doctor_Rogers says:
@::Leans his head back so not to be hit.::
TO_Ens_Pierce says:
@FCO: They're not Nyi. I'm reading life signs native to the planet... probably regular birds.
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CIV: Understood..... ::Heads over to SCI 1 and pulls up any information she can find.::
Host President_Roxton says:
ACTION: AS THE FCO AND TO APPROACH, THE BIRDS SQUAWK INDIGNANTLY AND FLY AWAY, LEAVING A BADLY MAIMED AND VERY MUCH DEAD BODY.
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CMO: No. I didn't.
TO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::Walks to the rock and pulls out a phaser anyway. They might need it knowing the FCO.::
CSO_Lt_TShara says:
@COM: XO: Understood Commander.
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
::Monitors the COMM signals closely.::
Doctor_Rogers says:
@ Maxtonda: Data suggests that the virus in question was genetically engineered ... that a virulent form of Vulcan Fungii was amazingly intertwined with other animal virii.
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@TO: Nice scanning. You forget to mention the dead body.
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
CIV: Any change?
SecurityChief_Maxtonda says:
@::Walks to a COMM panel in the doctor's office.:: COM: Claymore: Please explain why your shuttle hasn't left the planet yet.
CSO_Lt_TShara says:
@*FCO*: Keep me informed of your situation Lt.
SecurityChief_Maxtonda says:
@Rogers: By whom?
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
::Listens in on Rogers, then closes the channel.::
TO_Ens_Pierce says:
@FCO: Well, you didn't ask for deceased life signs. ::Examines the body from a distance.::
CSO_Lt_TShara says:
@EO: Looks like we wait.
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
CO: Captain incoming message from Seballa IV.
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@*CSO*: We seem to have found a body here... the birds were eating at it... We're trying to find out more.
CIV_Ens_T`Vok says:
CO: Negative sir. Still getting the same readings.
EO_Ltjg_Hayward says:
@CSO: Understood. I'll continue monitoring.
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
XO: Well, the virus is what killed Grange. Leads point to the Rommies a bit so far, besides that, I can't recall anything else I needed to share.
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@TO: See if you can tell me what race the body is.
CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Enters Engineering and moves to his office, bringing up some basic botanical stuff.::
SecurityChief_Maxtonda says:
@Rogers: So President Grange was murdered... just not the way we thought.
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
OPS: Put it through.
TO_Ens_Pierce says:
@FCO: Already on it. ::Checks her tricorder readings.::
CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
CO_Captain_William_Hall: If we move towards the Anomaly and put a tractor beam on to it providing it’s a ship it would disrupt the cloaking device of a Romulan ship.
CSO_Lt_TShara says:
@EO: Apparently the TO and FCO are monitoring a flock of birds or something at the moment and we are to wait.
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
CO: Aye. ::Puts the COMM through to the Captain.::
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
COMM: Maxtonda: We seem to have a slight situation at the moment. We have asked the team to remain on the planet for the time being.
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@::Moves toward the body for a closer look.::
EO_Ltjg_Hayward says:
@::Confused:: CSO: Birds? ::shrugs and monitors.::
SecurityChief_Maxtonda says:
@COM: Claymore: YOU have asked? Whom did you ask?
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
XO: Ok, Kaly?
Doctor_Rogers says:
@Maxtonda: Theories point toward Romulan involvement ... although Dr. Endo thought it might have something to do with the Federation, which would puzzle me ... what would the Federation benefit from harming the populace of one of it's worlds?
SecurityChief_Maxtonda says:
@COM: Claymore: I suggest... ::he rasps:: that they leave immediately.
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CMO: Yes, Corzi?
TO_Ens_Pierce says:
@FCO: He's human... or was.... And from the looks of it, has been dead for a while.
CSO_Lt_TShara says:
@*FCO*: Get any and all information you can on the body Lt. We can do further analysis on your findings when we get back to the ship.
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
XO: Did you hear what I said? A mini report?
SecurityChief_Maxtonda says:
@::Turns back to Rogers.:: Rogers: Indeed... why?
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@*CSO*: Lt... the body we've discovered is human. Recommend we beam it to the ship for Corzi to look at.
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
XO: Cause I've kind of gotta run... Caleb hurt someone in Sickbay.
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
COMM: Maxtonda: My apologies Chief. We will have them return. Claymore out. ::Signals the XO to signal the AT to return.::
CSO_Lt_TShara says:
@EO: That is all I know at the moment Lt.
TO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::Circles around carefully, stopping at his right side.:: FCO: There's a tattoo, there, on his arm.
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
ALL: Any other suggestions.
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@TO: Record everything here including video.
Doctor_Rogers says:
@Maxtonda: They wouldn't get anything ..., which is why I'm not considering our own Federation as responsible. I believe the Romulan Empire is directly responsible.
SecurityChief_Maxtonda says:
@::Sends message to fighters to circle above the shuttle.::
EO_Ltjg_Hayward says:
@::Shudders at the news of the body.::
CSO_Lt_TShara says:
@*FCO*: Understood proceed Lt.
SecurityChief_Maxtonda says:
@::Sends ground troops to the shuttle site.::
Doctor_Rogers says:
@::Hearing his orders.:: Maxtonda: Do you not think that is a bit ... overboard?
Host President_Roxton says:
ACTION: THE ANOMALY BEGINS MOVING AGAIN, THIS TIME TOWARDS THE PLANET AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED.
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CO: Sir, if we do that, we won't have another opportunity to gather any information.
TO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::Secures tricorder and all other information.:: FCO: Done. Looks like the start of yet another investigation.
SecurityChief_Maxtonda says:
@::Nods at doctor.:: Rogers: and the Romulans want to interfere why?
CIV_Ens_T`Vok says:
CO: its actions so far appear to suggest sentience...I would say that the random course is a loose attempt to throw us off.
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@*OPS*: We have found a dead human body here. Beam it to sickbay for analysis. You might warn Corzi.
CIV_Ens_T`Vok says:
CO: It's on the move sir.
CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
CO_Captain_William_Hall: The anomaly is moving towards the planet.
Doctor_Rogers says:
@Maxtonda: Romulans are sneaky beings ... no doubt they would benefit in some way by damaging the Federation.
EO_Ltjg_Hayward says:
@CSO: Ma'am I've got signs of activity around the shuttle, both ground and air.
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
*FCO*: Acknowledged.
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
::Decides not to wait for Kaly's response and enters the TL.:: TL: Sickbay.

FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@TO: Sure does. What is a human doing here... especially dead?
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
*CMO*: Lt. Endo. The Away team has found the remains of a human on the planet. I am beaming it to sickbay immediately.
CSO_Lt_TShara says:
@COM: XO: Commander we are beaming a body back to the ship for further analysis.
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
COM: AT: Head back to the shuttle...Get me any information you can along the way.

OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
::Initiates transporter lock on the human body.::
CSO_Lt_TShara says:

@::Looks blankly at the TO after the XO's orders.:: TO: Oh well... far be it from me to question orders. Let's head back.
CSO_Lt_TShara says:
@*FCO/TO*: Meet us back at the shuttle we have been ordered back to the ship.
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
*CMO*: You will have to give us that answer Doctor.
EO_Ltjg_Hayward says:
@CSO: Lets make it a run this time. I'm detecting life signs - not the AT in the vicinity of the shuttle.
CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
*Endo*: Do we have an Infection Chart of locations and infection times of the Karp-Two?
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@*CSO*: Acknowledged. We're on our way.
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
::Walks out of the TL and into Sickbay, noting that the multiple people who appear to be injured are being taken care of.:: *OPS*: Fair enough.

@::Nears his office.:: *Roxton*: Latest data indicates a new virus was used to kill President Grange; and the Romulans may be involved.
CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
*Endo*: Who are they?
CSO_Lt_TShara says:
@*FCO*: You might want to hurry Lt. there appears to be life signs in the vicinity of the shuttle.
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
XO: Yes it does. Bring it back to the ship and have reports on it taken from those who found it. Have Dr. Endo examine the body. This anomaly is our first priority.
Host President_Roxton says:
@::Gulps.. Romulans?:: *Maxtonda*: Did you say Romulans?
CSO_Lt_TShara says:
@EO: Agreed. ::Begins running towards the shuttle.::
SecurityChief_Maxtonda says:
@*Roxton*: The Claymore shuttle is still on the planet; have it covered by our fighters by now.
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CIV: Can you give me the make up of that anomaly? Is it Organic, Inorganic?
EO_Ltjg_Hayward says:
@::Runs alongside the CSO.::
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@::Looks at the TO.:: TO: Crap! Double time Ens. ::breaks into a run.::
SecurityChief_Maxtonda says:
@*Roxton*: Yes sir, Romulans.
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@*CSO*: Acknowledged.
TO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::Hears the CSO.:: FCO: Aww... great. ::Runs towards the shuttle.::
Host President_Roxton says:
@*Maxtonda*: Have you informed the Claymore yet?
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
*CEO*: Hold on.. I'll check on them. ::Walks into the small Pathology Department.:: Dr. Chi Kim: Chi, have you guys gotten an infection chart for the Carptheu?
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
::Nods:: CO: Aye.... ::Walks away with her arms crossed.::
SecurityChief_Maxtonda says:
@*Roxton*: Dr. Rogers is keeping in touch with them sir.
EO_Ltjg_Hayward says:
@CSO: Ma'am something smells here. I suspect this is an elaborate ruse. ::Keeps running.::
Host President_Roxton says:
@*Maxtonda*: Good... What is your opinion on all this?
SecurityChief_Maxtonda says:
@::Enters his office and brings up all kinds of screens and data.::
CSO_Lt_TShara says:
@*SecurityChief_Maxtonda*: We will be leaving the planet and in route back to our ship.
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
<Kim> ::Hands Corzi a PADD.:: CMO: This is what we've got so far, Corzi.
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@TO: ::panting a little:: Anything on your tricorder?
CSO_Lt_TShara says:
@EO: What do you mean Lt.?
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
*CEO*: We've got one... did you want it?
SecurityChief_Maxtonda says:
@*Roxton*: Based on my research I doubt the Federation is involved and it is well within Romulan modus operendi.
CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
CO_Captain_William_Hall: Suggest we intercept the anomaly?
CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
*Endo*: Please... A thought just crossed my mind...
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
::Waves away the orderly trying to fetch him to look at the dead Human.::
SecurityChief_Maxtonda says:
@*CSO*: Noted.
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CO: I don't think we should take any hostile actions toward it.
EO_Ltjg_Hayward says:
@CSO: I'd say it's likely the murder was a cover-up. Possibly a dissident faction on the planet trying to get to our technology. ::runs faster.::
TO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::Tries to hold the tricorder steady while running.:: FCO: Nothing yet, maybe when we get in visual range of the shuttle.
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@::Puzzled by that answer, but picks up the pace.::
CSO_Lt_TShara says:
@COM: XO: Sir we are headed back to the shuttle now. I have informed Maxtonda that we are leaving.
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
Kim: Thanks for the chart. ::Nods and walks out of Sickbay and walks into his office, uploading the chart into his desk terminal, then sending it to ME.::
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
OPS: Can you put the anomaly on the main viewer? XO: I agree.
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
CTO: Not yet Lt.
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@::Crossed over a rise and sees the shuttle.::
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
COM: CSO: Thank you...Let me know if you discover anything else on your way back to the shuttle.
CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
*Endo*: Plants aren't communitive unless it’s by physical touching.... I just want to see how the disease spread.
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
CO: Yes Captain. ::Puts the anomaly on the main view screen.::
Doctor_Rogers says:
@::Goes back to looking over the data.::
EO_Ltjg_Hayward says:
@::Pants from the exertion.:: CSO: Almost there.
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
OPS: Continue sending greetings on all frequencies.
CSO_Lt_TShara says:
@::Continues running seeing the shuttle ahead.:: EO: What would they want with our technology?
CIV_Ens_T`Vok says:
::Continues the readings check.::
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
::Looks at the viewer.::
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
*CEO*: There you go... ::Walks out and sterilizes his hands and quickly puts on some sterile gloves.::
CSO_Lt_TShara says:
@COM: XO: Understood Commander.
CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Gets Data on his console.:: *Endo*: Thanks Spots...
SecurityChief_Maxtonda says:
@*Roxton*: One more thing... I regret to inform you that the Nyi attacker has died under interrogation.
Host President_Roxton says:
ACTION: AS THE AT CLEARS THE RISE, NOTHING IS SEEN EXCEPT FOR SEBALLA IV FIGHTERCRAFT FLYING OVERHEARD IN AN ESCORT POSTURE.
EO_Ltjg_Hayward says:
@CSO: Uncertain at this time. It's just a feeling I get.
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
*CEO*: You could talk to Doctor Chi Kim too in Pathology, Spotless. He can help you figure that stuff out.
Host President_Roxton says:
@*Maxtonda*: What did you learn from him?
EO_Ltjg_Hayward says:
@::Scans the shuttle.::
CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
*CMO*: Doctor when you have finished your autopsy will you please do a reconstruction of the body to identify it and send it to me when you’re done.
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
CO: Aye sir. ::Sends standard Federation greeting in all known languages, digital, and binary.::
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@::Approaches the shuttle.:: TO: Are you scanning any life signs?
CSO_Lt_TShara says:
@EO: I hope your feeling is wrong Lt.
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
::Has a nurse scan the body as he digs in with his tray of nice sharp objects.::
TO_Ens_Pierce says:
@FCO: See, I told you we'd see something once we were in visual range. ::Wonders why they're flying overhead.::
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
*CTO*: Sure.
CSO_Lt_TShara says:
@::Scans the area around the shuttle.::
SecurityChief_Maxtonda says:
@::Sighs that sounds more like a snarl.:: *Roxton*: Nothing sir.
CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
All: A-Ha!!!
EO_Ltjg_Hayward says:
@CSO: I wholeheartedly agree. ::Enters the shuttle.::
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
CIV: Continue scanning the anomaly. If there is the slightest change let me know.
CIV_Ens_T`Vok says:
CO: Acknowledged sir.
CSO_Lt_TShara says:
@::Enters the shuttle and puts down her gear.::
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
::Suddenly realizes that the body smells really bad and frowns, though no one can see it thanks to his mask.::
TO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::Shrugs, no life signs.::
CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
*Endo*: Doctor Spots... this disease is artificial.
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@::Enters the shuttle and does the pre-flight check.:: CSO: Ready to depart when you are.
TO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::Enters the shuttle.::
SecurityChief_Maxtonda says:
@::Sits and ponders on all the information he has received to date.::
EO_Ltjg_Hayward says:
@::Straps himself in.::
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
::Monitors Comm signals and waits for a possible reply.::
CSO_Lt_TShara says:
@FCO: Let's head out Lt.
TO_Ens_Pierce says:
@FCO: Well, Congratulations Ryan... you accomplished an away mission without so much as a scratch.
CSO_Lt_TShara says:
@::Takes her seat.::
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
::Looks at the MV watching the anomaly.::
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@::Launches the shuttle and sets a course for the Claymore.::
SecurityChief_Maxtonda says:
