SO_Love says:
%::Heading down the gangway toward engineering.::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::sits at the conn and monitors the Claymore’s orbital status, keeping an ear open for the next communiqué from Ens Love::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::initiates Yellow Alert::
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::continuing rounds as the Yellow alert is sounded::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: trying to maintain a lock on the SO ::
CMO_Ens_Harod says:
::walks over to the samples now energizing inside the containment container::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::exits his quarters...rubbing his now bald head...and walks toward the TL...heading toward the bridge::
SO_Love says:
% ::Her heart beating a kilometer a second, she activates the doors and enters.::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*SO*:  Report
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: monitors communications carefully watching the SO's bio-lock ::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::starts devising battle plans::
SO_Love says:
% ::Shadows seem to dance off the wall... she jumps at the captains call, thinking her heart stopped for a moment.::
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
*CO*: Engineering is at Alert Yellow Condition 1.  All teams are in their alert stations.
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
*CTO*: Weapons and Shields are on hot stand by.

ACTION: Sensors detect a sudden power buildup within the complex at the planet’s pole.

SO_Love says:
% ::Reaches up to her combadge.::  *CO*:  I guess it depends on how one defines fine.  ::Looks down at the four dead crewmembers.::  So far, scans have proven true.  All dead.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::perks up and listens to the comm call from Love::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
CO: CO Power-r build up again on the planet ::
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
*OPS*: Your power is there holler if you need more.
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::sees her sensors go nuts::
CMO_Ens_Harod says:
*T'ail*: When you are finished in the transporter room, I'm going to need some help evaluating the samples beamed over by Officer Love.
SO_Love says:
% ::Making her way to the bodies, she kneels a bit clumsily to run a scan on them.::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::exits the TL onto the bridge::  CO: Sir...I'm back.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
CO: Build up at the pole, Captain.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::looks at OPS::  FCO:  Take us out of orbit and prepare for another run of ships.
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
*OPS*: Are you reading what I am reading here in engineering??  Power buildup on the planet?
MO Stevens says:
 CMO: You're next , sir.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
*CEO*: Aye. Chaser-r out.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
CO: Aye sir.  ::his hands move quickly as he breaks orbit of the planet and keeps evasive patterns and manual pilot at the ready::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::moves forward and quickly takes his seat::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::considers staying with the tachyon pulse strategy::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
CO:  This build is up is much mor-re power-rful, sir-r.
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::reads her scans and sees that the buildup of power is more stronger than before::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: glances of her shoulder at the CO, a worried look on her face ::
SO_Love says:
% ::Noting the species are Orion, Klingon and Human, she only shakes her head, not understanding what she was seeing.::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  Can you tell what it is?
SO_Love says:
%::Her head continues to shake as she reads the data.  Poison again...::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: looks quickly around at her readings ::
SO_Love says:
%::Takes some blood samples.  Then on a thought, rolls the human over.  With a shudder, opens his mouth and peers inside.::

ACTION: The buildup culminates in a large thermonuclear explosion that destroys the entire complex.

OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
CO: SIR-R!
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: gulps :: CO: A ther-rmonuclear-r explosion
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::senses the rise in emotions on the bridge::
SO_Love says:
% ewww... :: Locating a pair of tweezers, she reaches in and pulls out the remnant of a capsule.  She bags it.::
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
*OPS*: What is going on up there?
CMO_Ens_Harod says:
::walks into the BIU::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
CO: Captain, it appear-rs a huge explosion has destr-royed the entir-re complex.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
*CEO*:  It seems the complex at the pole was destr-royed by an explosion.
SO_Love says:
% :: Is reminded again why she never went into medical.::  *CMO*:  I have some more samples for you.
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
*OPS*: What kind of explosion?
MO Stevens says:
CMO: Up on the bed, sir.  This won't take long.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  Are there any survivors
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
*CEO*: Ther-rmonuclear-r.
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::paces back and forth in engineering waiting to be told::
SO_Love says:
% ::Standing, she scans the room, her eyes searching as well.::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::pulling out his PADD he begins to write down some of what happened on K'inbor II::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: monitors radiation levels around the ship ::
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
OPS: Thermonuclear detonation?
CMO_Ens_Harod says:
*SO*: Thank you, Science Officer Love.
CMO_Ens_Harod says:
::hops up on the table::
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::her staff stop and look at her::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
*CEO*: Aye, Lieutenant.
SO_Love says:
% ::Walks over to the engineering console, acknowledging the doctor.::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
CO: I detect no sur-rvivor-rs, Captain, the complex was deser-rted.
MO Stevens says:
 ::scans the Doctor, realigns his internal organs::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::going over reaction times for the phasers and torpedoes::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  Is it a possibility they were in the other two ships?
SO_Love says:
% ::Activates the console, leaving the computer to do general check and auto repairs.  Then goes to search the cabinets.::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::enters a text  request into the computer instead of aloud:: Computer:Text: List any types of substance or radiation that can be used to counteract the effects of radiation caused from a nuclear fission reaction.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
*CMO*: Ther-re has been a ther-rmonuclear-r explosion on the planet, please be pr-repar-red for r-radiation pr-rotocols.
SO_Love says:
% ::Finds nothing out of the ordinary... if you considered a ship of people dead by suicide.::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: monitors her bio lock on the SO carefully ::
MO Stevens says:
 ::uses Genotronic Replicator in an effort to regrow bone tissue in the Doctor's leg::
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
*OPS*: You need me to bring online extra reactors?
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
*CEO*: Not at this time, Lieutenant.
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
*OPS*:  Understood.
CMO_Ens_Harod says:
*OPS*: Thank you Lieutenant.  I'll get a team ready for it immediately.
SO_Love says:
% :: Picks up a package and opens it.  Wrinkles her nose as she discovers it is rations... Orion possibly.  It didn't look like anything a Human or Klingon would eat.  Closes the door on the environmental suits.::
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::not liking being stuck in engineering while the action is on the bridge continues her pacing::
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
ALL: What are you looking at we have work to do here.  Get back to your jobs.
SO_Love says:
% ::Checks to see that the ship was basically fine.  Her heart settled some, she makes her way back to the bridge, another piece of the puzzle not fitting.::
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::storms back into her office and scares the daylights out of Squiggy:: Self:  This is nuts, all the action is up on the bridge and I am here in engineering.  I need to get out of here.
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
*CO*: Sir permission to come to the bridge?
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*CEO*  Granted.
SO_Love says:
% ::Works on pulling up the computer files.  While she waits, she wonders how Alex was... if he came through the transporter alright.::
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
*CO*: Thank you sir.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: continues to monitor radiation levels ::
SO_Love says:
% *CO*:  Captain, I am working on pulling up the ship’s records.  From what I have, I would infer that all these people committed suicide.  Why, I have no idea.  I can find nothing on the ship that would indicate anything dangerous if you would like me to bring it aboard.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::enters a text  request into the computer instead of aloud:: Computer:Text: List any types of substance or radiation that can be used to counteract the effects of radiation caused from a nuclear fission reaction.
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::flies out of engineering and into the TL::
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
Computer: Bridge Express!

ACTION: The turbo elevator lunges for a second, then stops cold.

CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::hits her head as the TL comes to a complete stop::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*SO*  Understood.  Bring what you feel is appropriate onboard.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::turns in chair:: CO/XO: Sir the type of reactors that would produce thermonuclear reactions like that are incredibly outdated, its quite possible that whomever is using them doesn’t know what they are dealing with.
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
Self: What the devil is going on here.  I am in a hurry to get to the bridge and the bloody lift stops.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: looks incredulously at her scans :: CO: The planet's atmosphere is full of radiation, the pole of the planet is melting, I suggest we get the SO back on boar-rd, Captain.
SO_Love says:
% *FCO*: Kayle... this ship is just small enough to bring it aboard.  It is going to take me a bit to get through the computer files.  They are encrypted.  What do you think?

ACTION: The turbo elevator lunges again for a second, then stops and backs up.

CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  She should be returning shortly.  FCO:  Take us to a safe distance.
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::is buffeted again by the crazy TL::  *Shemara to Engineering*: Would someone like to check the blasted circuits on TL 2 please it is driving me nuts!
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
CO: Aye sir.  ::increases the distance from the planet.  *SO*: That’s yourselves and the Captains call.  If we needed to get it out of the bay incredibly fast we would run the risk of damaging our hull.
SO_Love says:
% ::Sighs::  *FCO*:  Yea, I know it's his call... I was just wondering if I should suggest it.
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
*CEO*: Ens. Spanner here we are checking it now.  Relax boss we'll get it fixed for ya.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
*SO*: I trust your judgement and so does he, if you think its safe go for it Chey.
CMO_Ens_Harod says:
<MO Stevens> CMO: You might experience some discomfort for awhile, but otherwise you are fine for some light duty.  ::uses hypospray to inject 20ccs of Analeptic into the upper arm of the Cardassian::

ACTION: The turbo elevator stops and begins operating normally and the CEO is deposited onto the bridge.

MO Stevens says:
CMO: That should help speed up the process, and should help the discomfort as well.
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::tumbles out of the TL onto the bridge::
SO_Love says:
% *CO*:  It is going to take me awhile to break through the files layers of encryption.  Ummm... the shuttle is small enough to bring aboard.  I was thinking we might do so... it wouldn't hurt for a more thorough going over.
CMO_Ens_Harod says:
::hops off the biobed::  MO: Thank you, Stevens.  Let's the get the Major and Ensign Mahk'tar in here.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: continues to monitor communications so far finding nothing out of the ordinary ::
SO_Love says:
% ::Smiles a thank you for Kayle for his trust, feeling a little less alone.::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::turns around to back up the SO:: CO: Sir the Flight Deck does have containment protocols much like sickbay and the transporter room.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::monitoring radiation effects on weapons::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*SO*  Make it so.  Work with Mr. Theron on that.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::nods to the FCO::
SO_Love says:
% ::Thinks... most definitely.::
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::picks herself up:: CO: Be careful of that TL it has a mind of its own.
CMO_Ens_Harod says:
::motions for the Major and the young TO to enter the BIU::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::nods to the CO then at the relief helmsman:: *SO*: I'm preparing the Flight Deck, standby Ensign.  ::walks over to one of the aft aux bridge station and brings up controls and comms to the Flight Deck::
SO_Love says:
% ::Raises an eyebrow::  *FCO*:  You want me to bring this ship aboard myself?  ::Feeling a bit incredulous, takes the helm and looks it over.::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
*SO*: No hun we will tractor you in, calm down. ::chuckles::
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::walks to her station:: Computer: Open engineering station Voice ID J'Loni Randolph Alpha Gamma 909853 Pi
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CEO:  Are you okay?
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::continues typing on his PADD...and rubbing the top of his head::
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::turns to look at her husband::  CO: Other than a few bruises and a clunk on the head I think so.  Watch out for that Turbolift.  It is acting like it has a mind of its own.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::contacts the deck officer in the bay and instructs him to move all Aux craft into their hangers, then initiated the containment protocols for the Flight Deck, orders all crewman to evacuate the bay and awaits the confirmation::
SO_Love says:
% ::Relaxes and considers a nice payback for Kayle.  Does a check of system, making sure the ship was secure..::  *FCO*:  OK...  everything is shut down over here.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::rubs her head::  CEO:  We will have to get it looked at.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: makes sure the FCO has all the power needed for his containment on the flight deck ::
SO_Love says:
% ::adds to herself.::  As far as I can tell.
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::takes his hand:: CO: I will have it looked at later my husband. Right now I am needed here on the bridge.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CEO:  Carry on then...::Smiles::

ACTION: The shuttle bay signals that it’s ready.

CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
CO: Yes sir.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
CO: Captain all protocols are being observed and the flight deck has been evacuated, awaiting your order Sir.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::walking to his chair::  FCO:  Proceed.
SO_Love says:
% ::Watches the Claymore growing larger and larger in the view screen.::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::While rubbing his head he notices a few rough spots...thinking he must not of shaved very well...he continues to think harder at the events on the planet...to the last details...and wonders what happened to his sample taken before the CMO pulled him out of harms way::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
CO: Aye.  ::initiates tractor beam after locking onto the craft::
CMO_Ens_Harod says:
::realigns the internal organs of the Klingon::  TO: You're good to go, old friend.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
XO:  How are you feeling, Alex?
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: puts the shuttle on the view screen ::
MO Stevens says:
 ::realigns the internal organs of the Major::  CIV: Ready for duty, sir.

 ACTION: The XO sneezes and notices something very unattractive about his nose.

CO_Capt_Randolph says:
XO:  How are you feeling, Alex?
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
CO: Well enough...still trying to remember  ::sneezes and notices something about his nose::
SO_Love says:
% ::As the doors get closer, she slowly sinks lower in the helps chair.  This was going to be a tight fit.::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: turns around to look at the XO, and gasps ::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::covering his nose::  CO: Ok...yeah...just fine...really...

ACTION: The shuttlebay tractor beams take over for the main tractor beam and the Orion shuttle glides into the bay.

CMO_Ens_Harod says:
*T'ail*: I need your help in Sickbay, Dr. T'ail.
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::feels the XO uncomfortable feeling and turns to look::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::sets the shuttle down and monitors the fields:: CO: She’s aboard Captain.  *SO*: You’re safely aboard Ensign.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
XO:  Good.  What can you tell me about the situation down on K'inbor II while you were there?
CMO_Ens_Harod says:
::walks over to the samples sent over by the SO and begins scanning them::
SO_Love says:
% ::As she feels the gentle thud of the shuttle bays tractor beam settling the ship down she opens her eyes, not remembering closing them and sits. up.::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO:  Understood.  *SO* Randolph to Love.  Report to the bridge when you are ready.  I am anxious to here your report.
T’ail says:
:: snoring asleep in the arboretum, his combadge turned off ::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::rubs the top of his nose...and notices a little hair their...but continues to talk::  CO: Well sir...while there the CMO, CIV, TO and myself scouted out as much of the planet as we could.
SO_Love says:
*FCO* Thank you kindly... I owe you a dinner.
SO_Love says:
*CO*  Aye sir.  Do you want me to wait till I am finished with the decryption?
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
*SO*: I'm going to hold you to that, Theron out.  ::goes back to monitoring the flight deck::
CMO_Ens_Harod says:
*CO*: Captain, the Major and Ensign Mahk'tar are realigned, but I'm recommending light duty for the next 8 hours.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CEO/CTO:  I want the two of you to begin studying the shuttle's computer immediately.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
CO: Aye, Sir.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*CMO* Understood Doctor.  Is there anything else to report.
SO_Love says:
::Smiling, she stands and walks back to the console to see how things were progressing.::
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
CO: Understood sir.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::steps over to the railing and leans on it with both arms towards the command deck:: CO/XO: I am going to reverse the tractors in the bay to repulsors and leave the doors open, incase we need to shove it on its way quickly.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
CO: However all life were to close to death to save...we tried to save them...but their was just to many...dead and dying.  As the teams broke up we began to notice dizziness and pain...and tried to shrug it off...however that would not work.  I intended on getting to the bottom of this weapon...and found myself going deeper into the impact zone.
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
CTO: You coming?
CMO_Ens_Harod says:
*CO*: No, sir.  I'm beginning my scans of the samples SO Love sent over.  I could use Dr. T'ail assistance on this, but I can't get a hold of him.
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
Computer: Shut down bridge engineering station.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
CEO: Yes.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::gets into the Turbolift::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*SO* That will be fine Ms. Love.
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::walks into TL1 this time::
CMO_Ens_Harod says:
Computer: Locate Dr. T'ail.
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
Computer: Shuttle bay 1
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
CO: I remember picking up a sample in the heart of the impact zone...but after that it was all a blur...until we returned on the ship.
SO_Love says:
::As the ships air recycles, she removes her helmet and gloves.::
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
CTO: Do you have any idea of what we might find in that computer?
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
FCO: Understood...do what you can to get it in.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
CEO:I am not sure .
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO:  Good idea Mr. Theron.

ACTION: The XO's ears suddenly become very itchy.

FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::nods to his leaders and goes back to the aux console, doing the necessary modes to the tractors and making sure the emitters are aligned properly to the shuttle to give it a clean push out::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: monitors for any ships in the area ::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::rubs his shoulder to his ear...and once again scratches his nose::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::glances over at the XO then back to his console, discreetly smiling and holding back a laugh at his friends 'misfortune'::
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
CTO: May I suggest that we run the basic diagnostics first then do a more intense scan?
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::nods to the CEO::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::looks straight behind him at the FCO...and scratches his ears::
SO_Love says:
::Her thoughts shift from what she might serve for a dinner, along with a frog for the teasing, to working on breaking through the next layer of encryptions.::  My goodness... what were they trying to hide?  ::Looks behind her at the dead men.::  Why commit suicide by poison?  Why not blow up the ship instead...
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::the TL slows as it reaches shuttle bay 1::
SO_Love says:
::Continues:: ... or use it as a weapon if you were going to die any ways.

ACTION: The SO finally breaks through the final layer of encryption.

CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
CTO: Lets get on with our work.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
CEO: All right.
SO_Love says:
::As the computer signals the last layer broken through, she turns her thoughts back to the records.::
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::walks over to the shuttle and goes inside to work on the computer::
CMO_Ens_Harod says:
*CO*: Sir, these samples contain common poisons, but the DNA sequencing is picking up evidence of Genetic Tampering.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*CMO*  Specifically doctor?
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: her ears lay back as genetic tampering is mentioned ::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::goes into the shuttle and begins checking the tactical analysis::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::seeing everything in the norms:: *SO*: Like it over there?
CMO_Ens_Harod says:
*CO*: I'm not sure yet, Captain.  ::scratches his eye ridge::
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::begins her regular diagnostics of its systems::
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::computers hum as they function::
SO_Love says:
::As she reads through the information, her eyes grow wide, and her teeth clench for a moment, before replying.::  *FCO*  No... not at all...
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::senses something in her voice:: *SO*: Something wrong?
CMO_Ens_Harod says:
*CO*: Captain, it looks like they were trying to bio-engineer the crew's physiology.  Trying to change it in some way.  Possibly to increase the effectiveness of their immune systems.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: continues to monitor the area for radiation and enemy ships ::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::begins checking the database for any information concerning the smugglers::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::once again scratches his ears...and nose::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*CMO* Trying to protect against the weapons maybe?
SO_Love says:
::Blows out her breath::  *FCO*:  That depend on how you look at things.  I will be up soon...
CMO_Ens_Harod says:
*CO*: I'm going to need to run some additional tests, Captain.  Permission to wake up Dr. T'ail for his assistance on this?
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
*SO*: Ok.  ::sighs with the whole situation::
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::now begins to do her in depth scans looking for any information concerning its mission::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CMO:  Granted.
SO_Love says:
::Downloads the files, preparing to head for the bridge.::
SO_Love says:
Ohhh... *CMO*: You have... bodies here.
CMO_Ens_Harod says:
*CO*: Thank you, sir.  ::sends MO Stevens to wake up the good Dr. T'ail::
