<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<RESUME  MISSION>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

 CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::Walks onto the bridge::  OPS:  Report.

CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Standing at the tactical station monitoring scans of the Bolian ship and trying to figure out what exactly is going on over there::

SO_Love says:
:: On the bridge, trying to find reasons via the sensors, what is wrong with the Bolian freighter.::

CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Sees the CO walk out of his Ready Room onto the Bridge::

 FCO_Crashalot says:
::maintains a discreet distance from the Bolian freighter::

MO_Izar says:
::sickbay's door open as she steps in, looking around to see who (if anyone) is doing whatever they are supposed to be doing::

 CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::looks at the CIV::  CIV:  Report.

 FCO_Crashalot says:
::still monitoring OPS functions since the OPS officer is off the bridge at the moment::

CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Jumps, a bit startled at the CO asking for a report from her:: CO: Sir, in response to a distress call, we proceeded to these coordinates and found this ship, dead in space.  Scans indicate 42 life signs aboard, Vulcans, Bolians and human.  Scans detected no visible hull damage and no reason why this vessel has no power.

SO_Love says:
CO:  Sir, their life support system is deteriorating quickly.

CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CO: The ship is ID'd as the Bolian freighter/transport vessel Glether.

MO_Izar says:
::nobody seems to be around, except for the sounds of voices coming from the lab. She approaches...::

 CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CIV: Has contact been established?

SO_Love says:
:: Gets a locational lock on the various life forms.::

CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CO: Cargo bays are being converted to temporary quarters as we speak, per Commander Chaser's orders, however I recommend we not beam any persons aboard until we know exactly what has transpired, Sir.

MO_Izar says:
::...and quickly realizes she is about to step into a pretty serious poker game, something sacred if there still anything remains sacred these days::

CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CO: We have received no response to our hails.  Lieutenant Love has stated that their COM systems are down.

SO_Love says:
:: Looks over at Ryan::  CIV:  Ma'am, you don't have much time for that... not if you want live people.

CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CO: The Claymore is at red alert status, Sir.

 CO_Capt_Randolph says:
SO:  And there is no visible damage>

CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CO: I recommend we beam over an away team of one to establish what exactly the problem is, Sir and I respectfully volunteer to go.

CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
CIV: I warrant caution here. I can't get any scans from the inside.  If you ask me I think it is some type of trap or ruse.

CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CEO: I agree, however what if it's not?  That is all the more reason for me to go over there and find out what is going on.

MO_Izar says:
::leaves the busy people alone and starts checking everything's where it should be, for when the game is interrupted by their current situation::

CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
CIV: Regardless sir, I believe this time we can not take the risk until we can scan the ship for danger.

 FCO_Crashalot says:
::glances at the CIV thinking she's nuts for volunteering::

CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CO: Scans indicated no visible damage to the hull, Sir.  That is correct.

 CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CIV:  I cannot allow a civilian to beam over.  How about a Chief Tactical Officer?

CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CO: Sir?

 CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CIV:  As per Starfleet’s orders, you are now the CTO of the Claymore.  

CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
CO: Sir my concerns are genuine in nature.  I believe unless we can get an inside sensor scan it is not the wisest move at the present time.

MO_Izar says:
::overhears Nurse Miren boast about something or the other while taking good looks at each medical kit::

CIV_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Almost passes out:: CO: Well, this is....well, unexpected, Sir but I guess there is no time for formalities.

 CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CEO:  Can you get me that scan, Lt?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CO: Then I have the green light to beam over to the Bolian ship, Sir?

 CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CTO:  Granted.  CEO:  With life support going down over there...we don't have time.

 CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CTO:  I want you in an EVA suit.  Keep open comm’s with the ship.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Motions a tactical officer to take over at the main tactical station then enters the turbolift:: TL: Transporter room one and step on it!  ::Leans against the turbolift wall for support::

CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
CO: I can try sir. But first I have to get the life support over there online.

CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
CO: Maybe if I go I can get a first hand look of what is going on.

SO_Love says:
CO:  They have about 12 minutes of life support systems.  After that, temperatures will start to drop, giving them perhaps another 30 minutes before they freeze.  Life signs are faint, but currently stable.

 FCO_Crashalot says:
::now thinks the CEO is just as nuts as the new CTO for wanting to go over there::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Taps COM badge:: *CO*: Ryan to the bridge.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Exits the turbolift and jogs to transporter room one::

 CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CEO:  Let’s wait on Commander Ryan's report.

CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
CO: I can try to do the life support from here if you would rather I stay here.

 CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*CTO*:  Bridge.  Go ahead.

MO_Izar says:
::wonders if a team will be sent to the Bolian vessel... hopes with all her might that nobody from medical is requested to accompany them, since she's the only one doing 'nothing' and that would mean... having to actually work::

 CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CEO:  Get on it.

SO_Love says:
:: Quietly::  *MO*:  Hopefully you will have 42 incoming shortly.

MO_Izar says:
::the sound of the comm startles her to the point of actually  making her jump::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Stops in front of the transporter room doors:: *CO*: Recommend taking a medical officer with me to determine the medical state of the crew, Sir.  Depending upon what we find, we may have to start beaming over survivors right away.  ::Walks into the transporter room and to the wall locker::

MO_Izar says:
::Izar swallows, then taps her badge:: *SO*: A... Anytime. I mean, acknowledged.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Opens the locker and takes out an EVA suit and begins suiting up while waiting for a reply from the bridge::

 CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*CTO*: Understood.  Could you use the CEO?

SO_Love says:
*MO*: You alright?  You sound... off.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
*CO*: Negative, Sir, not until I secure the ship.  ::Zips up the suit and grabs the boots::

 CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*CTO*:  Understood.

 FCO_Crashalot says:
::is very glad that all he needs to do is keep the ship in one very relative place::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Pulls the boots on and grabs the helmet.  Quickly opens another locker and pulls out a phaser, wrist beacon and tricorder::

MO_Izar says:
::curses inwardly, but quickly composes  herself:: *SO*: We were just hoping everyone would be all right, sir. I mean, ma'am. I mean... we're ready as usual.

MO_Izar says:
::walks towards the lab::

CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
CO: Sir it is the only way that I can get it done.  I need to be inside the freighter to work on this.

SO_Love says:
:: Shakes her head.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Attaches the wrist beacon to her wrist, holsters her tricorder and checks the phaser settings while waiting for the medical officer to arrive in the transporter room::

MO_Izar says:
::"ready as usual"... what a liar she's become...::

SO_Love says:
:: Gets a lock on the CTO.::

 CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CEO:  Once the CTO has secured the ship, you may beam over.  Go and prepare your Engineering team(s).

CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
CO: Understood sir.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Holsters the phaser and puts on her helmet then hits her COM:: *CO*: Ryan to the bridge. Where's that medical officer?

 CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*MO*:  Bridge to Izar.  Report to the transporter room in your EVA suit immediately.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Steps up on the transporter pad then signals the transporter officer to expect one more person::

CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
*Engineering*: Have Alpha and Zeta teams gear up for an Away Mission to the Bolian freighter.  Make sure they have the correct tools and make sure they have their EVA Suits on.  I will be commanding the Engineering team myself.

MO_Izar says:
::clears her throat:: Med Staff: Sorry guys... we may have 42 customers coming in soon. Please be ready... Oh, royal flush! ::realizes she said that out loud and blushes::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Taps the control pad on her wrist, making environmental adjustments to her suit::

MO_Izar says:
::taps her badge, grateful for the call, how ironic can that be?:: *CO*: Aye, sir!

MO_Izar says:
::turns on her heels and runs to the turbolift, before anyone throws something at her::

MO_Izar says:
::after a short ride, she arrives to her destination and goes to a locker first, where she suits up and gathers the necessary equipment::

CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
Computer: Transfer control of engineering station bridge to engineering main deck.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Sees the MO enter the transporter room: MO: It's about time!  Hurry up, we only have minutes before life support on that ship is depleted.

CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
<Computer> CEO: Understood bridge engineering station now close and transferred to main engineering.

SO_Love says:
:: Waits for the MO to arrive at the transporter room before adding her to her lock.::

MO_Izar says:
::checks everything's in order before entering the TR:: CTO: It's in here, right? ::sees that Ryan is on EVA as well and feels kind of silly for asking::

CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
CO: Sir, I am on my way to engineering.  I hope this is not a trap.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
MO: Hurry up!  ::Taps her foot, getting anxious::

 CO_Capt_Randolph says:
 CEO:  I agree.

MO_Izar says:
::steps on the transporter pad, deciding not to complain out loud::

CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
::turns and walks smartly into the TL::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
*CO*: Ryan to the bridge, we are ready for transport.  ::Signals the transporter chief:: TC: Energize!

CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
Computer: Engineering Express.

MO_Izar says:
::feels ticklish as she dematerializes::

 CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*CTO*  Good luck...

SO_Love says:
:: Double checks that she has the ATeam secure and quietly waits.::

ACTION: The CTO and MO materialize on the bridge of the Bolian ship. There are two dead Bolians sitting at opposite consoles.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@::Dematerializes and rematerializes on the Bolian ship.  Grabs her phaser and activates her wrist beacon.  Pans it around::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@MO: Check them out.  I will secure this area.

MO_Izar says:
@::opens her tricorder and walks towards the still figures sitting at opposite consoles, using the light provided by the CTO and her own instruments::

CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
::arriving in engineering packs her tool bag and double checks her two teams EVA suits for leaks and punctures::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@::Walks over to a console and sees if she can get life support back online::

SO_Love says:
CO:  I have a clear lock on the Away Team.

MO_Izar says:
@::shakes her head:: CTO: These two are beyond help. Scanning for the nearest life signs ::turns around as she speaks::

CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
::getting into her EVA Suit and letting one of her trusted engineers test out her suit she motions them to follow her and head for the Transporter room::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@MO: Can you determine what killed them?  ::Taps buttons on the console::

 CO_Capt_Randolph says:
SO:  Be prepared to beam them back if the need arises.

SO_Love says:
CO:  Aye sir.

CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
::walks into the transporter room and waits::

ACTION: A small explosion is detected from the engineering compartment on the Bolian ship.

CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
*CO*: Sir engineering teams and I are ready to go.  Just give the word.

MO_Izar says:
@::nods and returns to the Bolians, then frowns:: CTO: It looks like they ate something they shouldn't have. Now as to what, I'd have to run some tests.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@::Is moved slightly from the explosion.  Pull her tricorder from her belt and flips it open to activate it:: MO: Did you feel that?  ::Waves her tricorder around:: Scans indicate the explosion came from the engineering compartment, aft.

MO_Izar says:
@::waves the peripheral device near the Bolians stomachs, just to make sure she was right about the tests, not just procrastinating::

SO_Love says:
CO:  Captain, I am picking up an explosion.

 CO_Capt_Randolph says:
SO:  Where at?

SO_Love says:
CO:  It appears to be located in the ships engineering.

MO_Izar says:
@::raises her head sharply, eyes open wide:: CTO: I... I did. What was that?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@::Taps her COM badge:: *CO*: Ryan to Claymore.  We have found two dead Bolians on the bridge.  Cause of death apparently some kind of poisoning.  There was a small explosion in the aft engineering compartment.  I'm going to check it out.  Scans show five lifesigns.  Ryan, out.

MO_Izar says:
@::checks her EVA, just to remember it does not make her invulnerable to explosion, and curses softly::

MO_Izar says:
@::looks at Ryan:: CTO: You don't mind going in first, right? I'll be just behind you.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@MO: Follow me, Doc.  ::Moves aft, following her tricorder readings.  Holds her phaser tightly::

SO_Love says:
:: Shakes her head::  CO:  There is a good chance it was a plasma conduit rupturing.  Cause... unknown.

MO_Izar says:
@::follows, just as asked::

ACTION: As the AT moves about the Bolian ship, they notice caked on dirt on most areas of the ship.

 CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*CTO*:  I allowing an engineering team to beam over to secure the section.

SO_Love says:
CO:  Shall I beam aboard the dead Bolians?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@*CO*: Recommend holding off until I check it out and secure it, Sir.  I'm almost there.

MO_Izar says:
@::looks around, wondering out loud:: Self: Who does the cleaning in our ship? Because nobody appears to be doing it here...

CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@::Steps in something gooey and looks down:: Self: Ewww....don't these people ever clean?  ::Keeps moving aft::

 CO_Capt_Randolph says:
SO:  Yes.  *CTO*:  We don't have the time to secure the ship now.  If we try, we might lose it.

ACTION: The MO nearly trips over another dead body in the corridor.  This one human.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@*CO*: Very well, Sir, but tell them that this place is very dirty.

SO_Love says:
*Sickbay*:  Prepare for some bodies.  I am having them beamed to the containment room.

MO_Izar says:
@::wrinkles her nose inside the suit, and almost falls to the floor after tripping over something that registers dead to her tricorder:: Dead Human: Ack... sorry mate...

 CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*CEO*  Bridge to B'Renak.  Get your team to that ship now.  There was an explosion.  I want that ship secured.  Get your EVA suits on.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@::Enters the engineering compartment and shines her light around the room.  Spots a body:: MO: Check it out, Doc.  ::Moves around the room::

CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
*CO*: Understood sir, ready now as we are in the transporter room.

SO_Love says:
:: Sends the coordinates to the transporter chief of the two dead men.::

ACTION: Four Bolians and one Human appear from behind various consoles and machinery to face the AT.  They look surprised to see them.

MO_Izar says:
@::checking the body the CTO pointed out, she spots the five guys looking at them and stands there, awkwardly::

ACTION: The dead bodies transport over to Claymore.

MO_Izar says:
@::waves to them, as the Claymore beams them out::

 CO_Capt_Randolph says:
SO:  See if you can lock onto the survivors and get them to sickbay.

CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
All: Ok we are going to see dead bodies and really filthy conditions so stay alert.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@::Aims her phaser at the four Bolians and one human:: Bolians: What is going on here?  Are you all right?

CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
*CO*: Ready for transport sir.

SO_Love says:
CO:  Transport completed.

 CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*CEO*  Understood.  Energize.

ACTION: The human limps forward towards the CTO.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@MO: Scan these people.  Make sure they're not contagious.

SO_Love says:
CO:  Working on the live ones now.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@::Backs away from the approaching human:: Human: Hold right there!  ::Points her phaser at the human::

 Staffor says:
@CTO: ::smiles weakly:: we are so glad to see you!  Did you get our distress call?

 CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*SEC TEAM*: Security Team to Sickbay.

SO_Love says:
*Sickbay*:  You have incoming.  I will have them beamed to the cargo bay.

MO_Izar says:
@Bolian ship crew: We came to help, despite that ::points at the CTO's phaser:: Will you let me scan you? It appears you are not... at your best ::smiles reassuringly, although worried at what is going on between the CTO and the Human::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@Human: Yes, we did.  What has happened here?  Where are all the rest of your crew and passengers?

ACTION: Survivors begin materializing in Claymore's cargo bay.

MO_Izar says:
@::walks towards the Bolians and starts scanning them::

SO_Love says:
:: Starting with the bridge, she continues to send coordinates to the transporter chief.::

SO_Love says:
CO:  Transport has begun.

 Staffor says:
@CTO: I am Chief Staffor of the Bolian ship Glether.  We, and the rest of the crew are all that's left.

 CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
::materializing in the engineering section of the Bolian freighter::

MO_Izar says:
@::sees they really look as dirty as the rest of the ship, and feels glad for the suit since they must smell like they look::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@Staffor: How many total?

CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
@ALL: Watch where you step.  There are bodies all over the place and it is quite messy here.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@::Sees the CEO materialize:: CEO: See if you can get life support back online and some lights, please.

MO_Izar says:
@Bolian: When did you last take a shower?

SO_Love says:
:: Listens as she gets a report in from medical.::

 CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*CTO*  Claymore to Ryan.  Have you made contact with anyone alive?

 Staffor says:
@AT: We haven't had the luxury of showers, or decent food for weeks now.  We were just hoping to make it to our next port.

CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
@CTO: Understood sir, that is why I am here.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@*CO*: Ryan to Claymore.  Sir, we have five alive in the engineering compartment, four Bolians and one human by the name of Staffor.

SO_Love says:
CO:  Sir, the survivors are in need of food and baths.  They are wearing civilian Bolian uniforms.

 Staffor says:
@AT: then the engines gave out

MO_Izar says:
@::nods understandingly at Staffor:: Staffor: I was just saying...

CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
@All:  Lets go and get started on life support quickly before we lose it all together.

CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
::motions to alpha team to get started on the main power conduit repairs::

 CO_Capt_Randolph says:
SO:  Get it to them...

CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@*CO*: His report indicates that they have been low on food and supplies for several weeks then their engines gave out.

SO_Love says:
:: Nodding, informs sickbay to supply what they need, at the same time, informing operations of the situation and what is needed.::

CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
::motions for the Zeta team to follow her to the power grid console and begin repairing the very unrepaired and chaotic power systems::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@Staffor: What is your total crew and passenger number?  I need to know so I can make sure we've accounted for everyone.

CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
@*CO*: Sir this is going to take time sir they have nothing here but chaos in their power systems.  We are trying to get life support back to minimum for now.  I have Alpha team working on repairing the main conduits.

 Staffor says:
@CTO: We started out with a total of...::thinks:: ...56 crew. Three of them, you'll never find.

 CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*CTO*  Start beaming them to the ship.  We will begin to beam food and water over to them.  I don't want to many here until we are sure they pose no threat.

 CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*CEO*  Stay on it Lt.

SO_Love says:
:: Listens to further reports.::  CO:  Other then symptoms of starvation, there does not appear to be anything medically wrong with them.  Medical has begun treatement as well as operations clothing.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@*CO*: Acknowledged. Ryan out.

MO_Izar says:
@::looks up and sees a pretty sad view. It appears some people were not as confident as Staffor about making it out of there::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@Staffor: What happened to those three?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@::Hopes he doesn't say what she thinks he's going to say::

MO_Izar says:
@::looks down and gets her hypo ready, wishing Ryan hadn't asked that particular question::

CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
@*CTO*: Sir this engineering room is a mess and quite chaotic.  I am working on what appears to be something that looks like their power grids.  My other team is working on what looks like an ODN conduit but in very bad disrepair.

 Staffor says:
@CTO: They sacrificed themselves for the greater good of the crew.

SO_Love says:
:: Hearing the captain, informs the transporter chief to hold.::

MO_Izar says:
@::starts injecting the survivors with a mix that will take care of their most immediate health needs in their sorry condition, and wishes she had been playing poker so somebody else would have had to come instead::

CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
Self: This is a mess and it is going to take hours to repair.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@::Sighs and can't believe what she just heard him say:: *Stafford*: I understand.  We're going to beam you over to the Claymore's Sickbay to be checked out.  In the meantime, we will send over food and water for the rest of your crew and passengers.  Try not to worry.

 Staffor says:
@ ::nods in acceptance::

SO_Love says:
CO:  Sir, we have 30 of the 42 survivors beamed aboard.  I have held further transport at your comment.  Do you wish me to have items beamed over to the rest?

MO_Izar says:
@::decides to become vegetarian::

CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
@::crawls under the console and begins to repair and rewire the grids to find something in the line of power to reroute to the life support generators::

 CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*SO*: Yes, I do.  Something doesn't feel right about this...its a gut feeling.

CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
::finds something very interesting and it is not supposed to be wired like that::

SO_Love says:
:: Looks at the captain and with a nod, informs operations to prepare emergency packets to beam over.::

CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
@*CTO*: Sir I am not sure but I have something that does not conform to any standard in my line of work.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@*CO*: We'll need a clean up crew and decontamination units sent over, Sir.

MO_Izar says:
@::nods at Ryan:: CTO: Sage request ::smiles::

 CO_Capt_Randolph says:
SO:  Begin to send the requested teams to the Bolian Ship.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
@MO: Are you sure they aren't contageous?

CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
::begins to record on her tricorder what she found::

 MO_Izar says:
@CTO: Unless they start passing up snacks, they're not, sir.

SO_Love says:
CO:  They are being prepared now sir.  They will be beamed over shortly.
