Finding Peace - Mission 9
Host SMDrew says:
Summary: Now traveling within the Tau Kata system the Claymore has had 6 hours of peace.  Sensors, both LRS and SRS, have remained quiet and no signs of the Vinii I or the sub-space anomalies were recorded.  Inside the Claymore is a hive of activity.  Research on the Vinii I fighter continues in engineering, the medical team continues to work around the clock on a treatment for the sub-space sickness, and science continues their work on the Vinii I communications.

CSO_Lt_Senn says:
OPS: You are getting on my nerves?  :: rubs the bridge of her nose::  I am almost done with the UT and if I never have to do this again, it will be too soon.

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::Enters the TL from Deck 2:: *Deck 15*
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
OPS: Working on it...
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::turns briefly::  FCO: Lay in an intercept course, Ensign, but let's see if we can get a little more information first.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Looks over to Merriweather and sighs a bit, noting the tech is getting a bit weary after having spent so much time on the project while he was away...manages a small, encouraging smile and looks back to the data::  PO_Soderstrom:  Take a break.  I'll keep looking things over.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
<FCO_Ens_Gulash> OPS: Aye sir  ::as always, he's already done with this task before it's even ordered::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: As she works::  OPS: To your first question, it should translate with about a 90% accuracy.  To your second question....
CO_Cptn_TShara says:
::Enters the TL::  TL: Bridge
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::As the turbolift slows to a halt, drops her arms back to her side and exits swiftly, only to pause a moment in the entry area of Main Engineering:;
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
<PO_Soderstrom>  CMO:  Thanks, Doctor.  ::Stands, a bit wobbly, and makes his way out of the lab, leaving Welland to himself::
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
<AOPS_Lt_Jackson>  FCO: How do you always do that, man?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
OPS: Tau Kata VI... :: looks up and around::  On the planet surface.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
<FCO_Ens_Gulash>  AOPS: Do what?
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
<AOPS_Lt_Jackson>  FCO: Have it all sorted out before they even say anything...I mean, that's pretty awesome!
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::TL arrives at Deck 15, Main Engineering, Isaac exits and is reported to by the duty engineer who hands him a PADD containing the status of the Anti-proton test/treatment, he begins to scan through it...waiting for Lt. Raeyld::
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
<FCO_Ens_Gulash> ::stares at Jackson blankly, wondering what it would feel like to rip his head off; he suppresses his Klingon urge and goes back to his console::
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
CSO: Hmm.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
CSO: Wreckage, perhaps?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
OPS: Too far away at the moment.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::rubs chin:: Computer: Locate Captain T'Shara.
CO_Cptn_TShara says:
::The turbolift stops as the doors open to reveal the bridge.::  ::steps out onto the bridge, walking over near Davis.::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Turns to Lieutenant Hull, who seems to have missed seeing her standing there as he enters - not at all uncommon for her - and steps up to him:: CEO: Lieutenant...Where do we begin?
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::see's T'Shara, wondering if the computer arranged this somehow::  Computer: Belay my last.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CO: Good timing.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::smiles a little at Senn::  CO, CSO: We're picking up some sort of beacon from Tau Kata VI, apparently on the surface. We can't get much more info from this distance, though.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Turns back around to see what she can get from where they are.::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
MO:  Ah, Lt Raeyld, thought you would still be on the way...I was reading through the progress report ::hands her the PADD:: I believe we are ready to begin testing...how are your patients?
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
::raises an eyebrow and looks over to Senn::  CSO: What have I missed?
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Pauses a moment, knowing Senn is busy, and swivels his chair around, gazing about the darkened room, then to the hazy red glow behind the containment fields::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CO: You now have a UT up to 90% accuracy... I hope, for our unwanted visitors.  And I am picking up a weak signal as Commander Davis mentioned.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
OPS/CSO: Is it Starfleet?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Nods, not looking around::
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
CO: Apparently. 
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Accepts the PADD, reviewing it briskly. Answers with a slight tinge of...sadness, in her voice, otherwise masked with a doctor's professional distance:: CEO: Yet deteriorating.   I've brought the test material. Where do we begin?
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::places hand on console and faces T'Shara::  CO: I'm worried it might be bait or something, considering what we've dealt with recently.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
CSO: After our last encounter I could do with not seeing them again for a little while.  ::putting her hand to her ear and then back to her side.::
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
::turns to Davis::  OPS: Agreed.  Let's not take any chances.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
OPS/CSO: Can we determine if it's from the Nantahala?
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::nods, then looks at Senn briefly as he addresses the two::  CO/CSO: A probe might get us that information without putting Claymore in immediate jeopardy.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CO/OPS: I am picking up indications of a large sub-space anomaly around Tau Kata VI.  ::sighs::  How about never seeing another anomaly?
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
CTO: Take us to yellow alert.
CTO_Lt_Karlsson says:
::Sets yellow alert::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CO/OPS: Got what I was looking for... a faint plasma trail matching federation signature heading for the planet.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
MO:  We should deposit some of the material in the dilithium articulation frame, that way it will enter the core, the anti-protons will then be released ::pointing to the core chamber:: the anti-protons will then be focused through this conduit that feeds the two treatment beds, the treatments will only take a few minutes.. we can then transport site-to-site the other patients...
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Works on trying to get a lock onto the signal with SRS::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
MO:...whole process shouldn't take 20 minutes.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Looks back over her shoulder.::  CO: Shall I have a probe readied?
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
::Raises her eyebrow once again at the mention of another anomaly.::  CSO: Aye, Lieutenant I would have to agree with that sentiment.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
::walks over near Senn::  CSO: Aye, ready a probe.  I have to agree with Davis on this one I don't want to take anymore chances.  With the appearance of the anomaly and this we don't know what we're walking into.
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Glances at the frame, somewhat dubiously. Already a bit uncomfortable with being in engineering...machinery never being her strong point:: CEO: So, to test the treatment on these pieces of wreckage, in place of the patients, I would place them on the treatment beds?
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::After reclining in his chair for a while, sits up and pulls his PADD out of his lab coat pocket, looking over the data Raeyld got from Avilon Vell::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Turns back around::  *Engineering*: I need a class three probe prepared for launch, please.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
CO/CSO: A plasma trail? Via engine signature, or otherwise?
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
*CEO*: Lieutenant have you been able to determine anything from your scans of the Vinii craft?  I am only asking do to the fact that another anomaly has appeared and I need any information we can use just in case.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
MO:  Exactly! We should know the results almost immediately.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
*<EO Secord>* CEO:  Lt. Hull, we have made some interesting findings on the Vinii I craft!
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
OPS: Engine signature from what I can tell.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::nods::  
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
*EO Secord*:  Go ahead Ensign.
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Smiles a bit, for the first time in hours:: CEO: All right. I'll place the first piece...   ::Opens the duffel and removes one of the empty gel paks she had "salvaged" from the Enola Rae. Places it upon the treatment bed carefully and places the duffel a few feet away:: CEO: I'd like to start with a low dosage of anti-protons, and work our way up.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Looks over the scans, noting the other materials present...wonders whether he can get away with asking for some batches of yet more hazardous material::
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
CSO/OPS: Well that would coincide with the information Fretak gave us.  But, then again has any of our information thus far during this mission lead to anything good.  Don't answer that....
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CO/OPS: Hmmm... according to the decay rate, these anomalies are not new ones.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
OPS/CSO: Can you determine if they are from around the time the Nantahala would have been in this area.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::looks at the console as data is processed and presented::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
<EO Secord> *CEO*:  We discovered that the craft has a huge output of power, yet the onboard reactor couldn't possibly provide that much power, also most of the power is being dissipated as heat, the temperature continues to rise at a steady pace.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::In the meantime, sits forward and begins some computer simulations on the possibilities of combining the metreon with trilithium resin and tritium (and the latter's helium-3 isotope byproduct)::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Curses under her breath::  CO/OPS: This cannot be good.  I have a lock on the ship... it is about 150 meters under watery ice.  I am not reading any other energy then the beacon.  Putting it on audio now.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
::Walks over to her chair and takes a seat, looking at the data as it streams through the armrest.::
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
CSO: Perhaps this is the area of space where the ships come through regularly. A portal of sorts?
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
*EO Secord*:  Understood Ensign, keep me advised.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
MO:  Very good Lt. good methodical practice.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Sets the computer on a decay rate for the radiation from the anomaly to determine when it was last used.::
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
::Looks up and listens::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
CEO: Thank you..  Is it possible to program the.. setup, to specifically target the anomalies themselves, first?  If we can bombard the anomalies without risking damaging their actual systems, it would be ideal.
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  Over the intercom on the bridge a calm message begins to play:   This is Captain Jillian Cumberland of the USS Nantahala.  We have sustained heavy damage by an unknown alien species.  Our only hope is to make an emergency landing on Tau Kata VI.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
*CO*:  Captain, progress report on the Vinii craft, my engineers report that the reactor onboard cannot generate the power that is being registered, I suggest it is being supplemented somehow, possibly through subspace, also the craft's outer hull temperature continues to rise.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
CSO: Under ice Lieutenant?  Since you have a lock can you get an id?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CO: Transponder is not working.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
MO:  We can attempt to focus the anti-proton beam into the treatment bed, however aiming is very crude, the treatment bed was configured to flood the bed chamber.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
::An almost chill comes over T'Shara briefly as she hears the message and after what Senn reported.::
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::grimly::  CSO: How long has the message been playing?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Quietly::  CO/OPS:  Ship on sensor matches the size, for the most part, of an Intrepid class.  There is alot of damage to the exterior.  As for arrival time... give me a moment to extrapolate from the energy signature.
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Nods somewhat grimly:: CEO: ...All right. We'll deal with organic exposure when we get to it. Let's focus on finding the minimum dosage required to...affect these anomalies.  ::Steps back from the bed:: How do we start?
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Narrows his eyes and leans in for a closer look at his panel, unsure of what he's seeing...it appears as though the helium-3 isotopes are the catalyst that stabilizes the reaction, but he isn't sure why, or how he could find out other than trying it::
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
*CEO*: Are you saying the craft is getting its power possibly from the anomalies?  If the outer hull temperature is rising and we can't reduce it what do you suggest we do?  If we need to we will go with our first plan and decompress the bay and remove the ship.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CO/OPS: Somewhere between three to four weeks... I really need to get closer for more detail.  The probe should be ready to launch.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
OPS/CSO: Well we all have seen the damage the Vinii can do.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
CSO: Launch probe now Lieutenant.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Catches the computers answer on previous question.::  OPS: The anomaly was last opened approximately four days ago.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
:: Isaac steps over to the master control console, inputs his authorization code, a moment later the dilithium articulation frame mixes Metreon gas into the core chamber, the anti-protons begin to form::  
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
CSO: Do the anomalies surround Tau Kata VI, or is there a place we could potentially situate Claymore while we take a closer look?
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
OPS/CSO: The timing would be about right with the time the Nantahala was attacked.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
*Engineering*: Incoming coordinates.  Launch probe.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Checks the computer for sources of the helium-3 isotope, and whether it can be synthesized locally without too much trouble::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CO: I have a more accurate time of ships arrival to around 3.5 weeks ago.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
<Duty Engineer>:  Receives coordinates, programs the probe ::Probe is launched::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: As she talks, she sends the coordinates of the downed vessel.::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Steps beside the treatment beds and watches the results intently, even though she knows there wouldn’t be much help for several minutes.::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
<Duty Engineer> *CSO*:  Probe has been programmed and telemetry is being received, on course.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CO/OPS: Probe on course.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
CSO: Understood.  So at this time it is logical to say this is most likely one of the missing vessels we have been looking for.  I was hoping to find her in different circumstances.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: sets the computer to scanning for life signs... any, but preferably humanoid.::
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
OPS: For now we will maintain our position until we receive further information from the probe.  I'm not taking any unnecessary chances again.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
MO:  Lt. Raeyld, you can coax the anti-protons to the areas you want by using these controls on the control panel at the foot of each treatment bed ::points to the panels::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Under her breath::  CO: You and me both...  :: louder::  Incoming information from the probe.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
CO: Captain, if there are survivors though we need to intervene. I want to avoid unnecessary risk, but if there are lives on the line I'll volunteer to lead an away team.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
::Almost grins at Senn as she hears her comment::  CSO: Go ahead Lieutenant what do you have?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Puts the images on the screen and narrates.::  All: The aft section of an intrepid class ship is sticking out of the ice.  Thermal images show the rest of the vessel as you can see.  I am reading no life signs onboard.  All ships functions are offline.
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Shifts over to the indicated controls and gently brushes her fingers across them, getting a feel for them before making any actual adjustments::  CEO: ..But this won't be accurate to the sub-atomic level?
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
OPS: Don't misunderstand me Commander if there are survivors we won't leave them there we will do whatever we can to rescue them.  But, until we know for sure...
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: continues::  All: There is a three mile path leading up to the crash site as you can see from the ice scars.  They came in hard.  I am picking up some underground caverns.  Hmmm...
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::frowns as he watches the images::  CSO: Is there any chance that the ambient interference is interfering with these readings?
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
::Turns her attention to the main viewer::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
MO:  From previous recorded treatments, the anti-protons will actually seek out the affected areas for treatment, with a little help from your pointing with the controls.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
CSO: Could the crew have retreated to the caverns for safety?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CO/OPS: I am reading a high concentration of Kelbonite throughout the planets crust. And it appears the planet is venting thermal heat from its core.  ::  sounds a bit hopeful::  That means the caverns could sustain life if they were able to get there.  Unfortunately, scans are incomplete of the caverns.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
CO: We could take a shuttle in perhaps.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
CSO: And I'm sure you can't get accurate readings of the caverns from here to determine if there are indeed life signs in the caverns.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CO: You know it won't be that easy.  It is against the humans Murphy.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
::Nods::  CSO: Aye.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Moves over to another area of the lab, armed with his new information, and starts to input the commands for the computer to synthesize the helium-3, checking every step of the way to ensure he observes all necessary safety precautions::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
CEO: Oh...excellent.  ::Carefully manipulates the controls, guiding them toward the areas of greatest concentration of anomalies::  CEO: Thank you so very much for your assistance.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
MO:  Once you feel comfortable, we can start treatment on your patients.
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Watches the results, using them to guide her manipulation of the controls...Smiles briefly:: CEO: There's...progress. It's working.   But only slowing it down, so far...
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::looks to the captain, hopefully::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CO/OPS: Planet factoids:  Average surface temperature is minus 59 degree celsius.  Atmosphere is 0.97 atm with N2 at 56%, O2 at 25%, CO2 at 8% and SO2 at 2%.  Gravity is about 1.02.
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
CEO: I'll want to run a brief test on organic material to ensure it won't pose a risk to the patients.   Please begin a gradual increase of the dosage... I want to see if, just maybe, this can eradicate the anomalies entirely.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
::Shivers a bit at the thought of the cold, Vulcan’s prefer the heat.::  OPS: Assemble a team and have a shuttle prepared.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
MO:  I will increase the amount in the articulation frame ::opens the frame, and injects additional isotopes from the converted anti-protons:: You should see an increase shortly.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::nods, excited despite the difficulties announced by Senn; there's a chance to possibly save lives, and maybe get a few answers::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
*CMO*: Doctor, we found one of our missing ships, no life signs aboard.  However, there are caves relatively near by that could support life.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
AOPS/FCO: Let's go, gentlemen.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::motions to Senn::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Nodding, turns her station over to Archimedes and grabs a tricorder.::
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::enters turbolift and waits for the other three::
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
*CMO*: Dr. Welland, we're about to head to the surface and we might need medical personnel. Please send someone to the Shuttle Bay.
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Begins to frown slightly and shakes her head:: CEO: It's causing cellular degradation.  This...it will help. But it's not a cure, yet.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Follows Davis into the lift::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Thinks over it for a moment::  *OPS*:  Understood.  I'll be there as soon as possible.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
Turbolift: Shuttle Bay.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
MO:  Hmmm, interesting, this did not appear in the simulation.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::turns::  CSO: Any considerations we need to take into account here, aside from environmental suits given the conditions?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: considers a moment::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Stands and picks his medkit back up, glad he kept it with him after the incident on the flight deck, and leaves a brief note for the sickbay staff to continue on his present course with the metreon;  turns on his heel and heads out, making his way into the turbolift::  Turbolift:  Shuttlebay, main entrance.
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Glances up:: CEO: What's that?
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
MO:  What? ::looks around the treatment bed::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: After a moment, shakes her head::  OPS: Beyond a few extra blankets and a dash of wishful hoping, just be prepared.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
*CTO*: Lieutenant Karlsson, report to the Main Shuttle Bay.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Makes his way around to the shuttle bay doors, waiting for them to open all the way before proceeding inside::
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::exits the lift as the doors open and heads for the Shuttle Bay::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Blinks a moment, then shakes her head::  CEO: Oh, the cellular degradation.  I don't know what's causing it. I don't even know why the treatment is working at all. But at least it is a start.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Stops and snaps her fingers::  OPS: One thing... just in case.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::pauses for a second::  CSO: What?
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
<AOPS_Lt_Jackson>  ::stops, and Gulash runs into him::
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
<FCO_Ens_Gulash>  ::growls::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Turns and looks around the vast bay, but doesn't see any of the others just yet::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
CEO: Once I've completed an organic test, I'll confer with Doctor Welland. Hopefully we'll be setting up a treatment schedule for the patients... All seven of them.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
Self:  Why am I not surprised the contraption doesn't work as planned.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
FCO: Go ahead and make sure the shuttle is ready, Ensign.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Starts to continue only to stop abruptly before running into Davis.::  OPS: Given the current problem, we would not be able to transport out in an emergency.  Perhaps a transport enhancer or two?
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
<FCO_Ens_Gulash>  ::nods and jobs in to the Shuttle Bay ahead of the others::
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::nods::  CSO: Let's do it.  ::heads into the Shuttle bay::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Waits inside the doors::  *MO*:  Welland to Raeyld.  Davis has asked a member of the medical staff to go with him to the planet in order to search for survivors.  I've decided to go along;  give word to Merriweather to continue the metreon experiments as I've outlined in my notes.  The helium-3 isotopes appear to be the key.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Nods to Davis and his entourage as they enter the shuttlebay::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
MO:  Sorry Lt, the LCARS file was very explicit about describing the setup, from previous contaminations and treatments, the record explained complete treatment and cure.  
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: As they enter, she nabs one of the flight bay folks and requests two transporter enhancers.::
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::returns the nod to Welland, then gestures to the locker with the environmental suits and the like::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Makes his way over to the lockers to gear up::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Catches up with Davis::  CMO: Don't get your hopes up too high.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
*MO*: Doctor what is your progress with the anti-protons?
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
MO:  I'm not sure why we are not getting the expected results.
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Pauses momentarily, then nods, despite his inability to see her:: *CMO*: Understood.   ::Closes the communications link briskly and turns back to Hull:: CEO: Unfortunately, we've never before dealt with this precise condition.. it's merely similar.  Don't worry, we'll find a way to adapt it to our situation.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Sighs quietly::  CSO:  Doesn't look good?  ::Sets his medkit aside while he chooses a suit and starts to crawl into it::
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::ignores Senn's comment as he puts on the bulky suit::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: With help from one of the techs, quickly makes her way into the suit, all but the helmet.::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
CEO: Please up the dosage. I want to see if it even has the potential to entirely eradicate the anomalies, even if it does destroy the material.
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Taps her combadge:: *CO*: Captain, we've found a way to use them to help slow the progress of the symptoms, but unfortunately at higher levels, it begins to degrade the recipient at the cellular level. I hope to begin low-level slowing treatments upon conferment with Doctor Welland.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Removes his lab coat and hands it to one of the techs, removing the PADD and stuffing it into his medkit::
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
FCO: Maintain our current position for the time being.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Nods a thanks and heads for the shuttle, tucking the helmet under her arm.::
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::picks up the weapon, and also draws a phaser and a tricorder as always; he carries the helmet with him as he does so::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::Again opens the articulation frame, increasing the dosage::  MO:  Doubled the dosage of isotopes Lt., 
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
CMO/AOPS: Ready?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Making her way aboard, she moves to take over sensor areas.::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Tucks his helmet under his arm and runs a quick diagnostic check on the suits controls; all seems to be in order as he picks his medkit back up and walks over toward the weapons rack, choosing a type II phaser::  OPS:  Ready.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::heads to the shuttle with a little pep in his step::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Does a very quick system check of her area.::
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
*MO*: Understood.  It sounds like you might be onto something at least that is progress.  Aye, we don't want to take them from one thing to the next on their systems degrading that is.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::enters the shuttle::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Follows Davis, matching his brisk pace::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
*CO*: I'll let you know the moment we make further progress. Raeyld out.    ::Stands thoughtfully a moment, as she watches the results...still the anomalies persist.  Sighs heavily a moment::  CEO: Alright. Thank you, Lieutenant. I'll be back shortly to continue tests.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Has a seat near the rear of the craft, knowing the others present will do a much better job with the in-flight controls than he would::
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
FCO: Prepare to depart.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::watches as the others file in::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
OPS: Systems check clear.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
*CO*: Captain, we're just about ready...requesting permission to depart.
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Begins to exit, then turns back to Hull a moment::  CEO: Lieutenant, why do the anti-protons gravitate toward the anomalies? Obviously they're still running into normal tissue...but why do they concentrate in the locations of the anomalies?
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
*OPS*: Permission granted Commander.  Good luck and keep your comms open at all times.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
*CO*: Acknowledged.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
FCO: Mr. Gulash...  ::pauses::   Take us out.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
MO:  Interesting question, the anti-protons are negatively charged, the affected areas are positively charged...opposites attract
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
<FCO_Ens_Gulash> OPS: Aye sir  ::turns to the console and begins to work his magic::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Glances back at Welland, for once, actually hoping he might be needed.::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Nods slightly:: CEO: Thank you.
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Quietly, unassumingly, makes her way out of engineering:: Turbolift: Sickbay.    *Merriweather*: Meet me in the sickbay office in ten minutes. Bring all of the information and equipment regarding the metreon experiments. Thank you.
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:   The Shuttle Spadroon departs the fight bay and increases to full impulse.  Within minutes they arrive at Tau Kata VI and descend into the planets atmosphere.   Scanning the wreckage they touch down on top of the USS Nantahala and begins preparations to disembark.
Host SMDrew says:
