Patrolling the Frontier - Mission 14  - 10911.24
Host SMDrew says:
Summary:  The Claymore readies to launch her recon craft to scout out the Thro Tal system.  The short lived peace between Lothian Prime and Lothian Minor seems to have all but failed...
Host SMDrew says:
**************** Resume Mission ******************
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Sitting in the Sickbay break room, processing charts::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Finding herself more and more depressed over the entire situation, she quietly sits at her station, going through the data.::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Sitting at her console in sickbay once again, to which she has quickly retreated from the tempting presence of the bridge::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::at the bridge operations station, quietly verifying system status::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Stands from her chair, walking around a bit to stretch her legs after sitting there for what seems to be like hours and moves over near the CTO::  CTO: Commander begin launching the recon.
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::on the bridge at tactical coordinating with the TIC:: CO: Scrambling fighters...now.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Nods::  CTO: Acknowledged.  Make sure they are in communication with you at all times.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
OPS: Ensign have you made contact with DS3?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Lightly rolls her fingers, tapping them along the console, unconsciously::
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION: The recon craft launch from the forward launch bays.  They split 30,000km from the Claymore and begin their assigned recon tasks.  Moments later data begins to stream into the Claymore.
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CO: Captain, have you prepared a speech in case we are discovered?
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
CO: I have not ma'am.  ::Brings the communications panel up::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::forwards the data incoming from the recon craft to science, and copies it to tactical.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Nods toward Fong as she scans through the incoming data.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CTO: I will come up with something if the need arises.  ::partial grin::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: sighs::  CO:  Computer estimates soil pollution to be about 80% on both planets... :: shakes head::  Population data is limited, but on Lothian Minor I am reading around 8 billion... no data on Lothian Prime.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
OPS: Noted Ensign we want to make sure we are in contact with them during our recon that way if anything changes we may be advised to our next course of action.
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::nods at the Captain and sends a text only message to DS3, requesting an open comm line for an indeterminate amount of time::
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::reads his console aloud as the data comes pouring not even a minute later:: CO: Captain, we've uncovered over 80 orbital weapons platforms over each Lothian planet...
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CSO: Any idea on what is causing the pollution?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Does a quick calculation in her head::  CO:  That brings them up short a couple of billion people given the last census was at 10.1 billion.  High nitrogen dioxide levels in the planets atmosphere is definately not helping it.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Walks away from tactical and back toward her chair::
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  LRS on board the Claymore pick up a lone Lothian vessel heading towards the Ghidalan Nebula.
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CO: 40 per planet... ::reads more data:: ...planetary shields are active protecting the major cities of each opposing world...
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CTO:  Picking up a vessel.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Turns back around to Kizlev at the comment of 80 platforms::  CTO: 80 platforms at each planet.  That seems a bit excessive isn't it Commander?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CTO:  Appears to be Lothian.  It is heading toward the Ghidalan Nebula.... they are about 800,000 km from it.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Nods in response to Senn::  CSO: Aye, I would say logically speaking that would be a factor.  When was that census taken?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Turns to look at the captain::  CO:  I am reading 38 life signs... most are failing.  Whoever is aboard, they are in bad shape.
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::nods:: CO: Communication channel open to deep space three ma'am.
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CO: No, sir. 80 in all. 40 per planet. Forgive my lack of clarity. CSO: Can you glean additional information about the vessel? Armament or cargo?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CTO:  They are very low on impulse velocity... more like they are limping away.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Her fingers lightly tap a key::  CO:  A year ago...
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CTO:  Looks like a variation on their planetary cargo transport... no warp drive... only impulse.  :: Sends him the general information.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CO:  Captain... go after them?
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::verifies continued steady power from the Claymore's warp core, and current battery charge::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
OPS: Acknowledged.  Send them that we are in the midst of performing recon on the Lothian system and will contact them when we have more data.
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::reports more info that is incoming:: CO: The scouts have returned a full count of all Lothian fighters in the system. There are 220,000 in all, and each planet's long range missile system is online and prepped for launch.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CTO: No apology necessary Commander it was I who was unclear of your number.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Turns toward Kizlev, not expecting an answer::  CTO:  220,000... that is insane.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CSO: Are we within beam out Lieutenant?
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
CO: Yes ma'am  ::forwards the past few hours’ sensor data to deep space three, and appends the new data from the recon craft::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Continues to work quietly at her console::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CO:  We need to get closer... and soon.  :: Reads through the telemetry::  Their hull will not withstand the forces from the nebula.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Nods::  CTO: Noted Commander.  I would have to agree that is an extremely high number.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Without asking, but hoping, sends the coordinates over to flight::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
aFCO: Take us within transporter range of the Lothian vessel.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
aFCO: full impulse
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
*Medical*:  Prepare for incoming.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
*CMO/MO*: Doctors be informed that we have 38 incoming that need immediate medical attention.  We will have them beamed directly to sickbay
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Works on getting a lock, wondering if the people are fools are just plain desperate.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
OPS: Ensign get a lock on the crew as soon as you have a confirmed lock transport them directly to sickbay.
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION: The Claymore turns to port and heads on an intercept course to the Lothian cargo vessel.  Within moments the Claymore is within transporter range.
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CO: Captain, I should inform you that we have received no distress call from the freighter. We are not under obligation to assist them, and by doing so may risk violating the Prime Directive.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
;:Looks up::  *CO*:  Understood.  ::Runs to the doors of the break room::  MO:  Raeyld!  Get triage set up!
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
OPS:  I have them within range.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CTO: Noted Commander.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
*Sokov*:  Welland to Sokov.  Please call up gamma shift and report immediately to sickbay; we have incoming.
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::Attempts to get a transporter lock on the crew of the damaged vessel, once he has a lock he begins transporting them to sickbay with the usual filters in place::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Nods quickly, and rises from her desk and moves to the center of the main ward, beginning to direct techs and nurses::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<Lt_Sokov>  ::Sits up in bed, calmly, and picks up his combadge::  *CMO*:  Acknowledged, Sir.  ::Swings his feet out of bed::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Sits down in her chair, crossing her legs and watching the main viewer::  Self: I wonder what kind of attention this will attract.
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::gazes at the captain, knowing he too would have gone forward with rescuing those people as well, but now also wonders if this means the Claymore has now taken sides in the Lothian conflict::
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  Sickbay begins to fill with wounded Lothian’s. Most are suffering from exposure and lack of O2.  Currently all of them are unconscious.
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
CO: Should we recall the recon craft ma'am?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CO:  At current rate, meaning no one stops it, their vessel will enter the nebula in four days.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Begins loading several hyposprays with triox and radiation treatments::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
OPS: There is no need to recall them at this time.  We need them to continue with their orders.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CTO:  Scans still show nothing of import other then the people aboard.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CTO: Send some security to sickbay and let them know I will be down there in a minute.
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::continues transporting the crew of the Lothian craft to sickbay:: CO: Understood, ma'am.  Transport is ongoing.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Darts into the ward, his tricorder already in hand::  MO:  Status?  ::Walks to the first unattended patient and waves his scanning wand over him, not bothering with the biobed at the moment::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Moves from biobed to biobed, activating scans as she goes, and giving each Lothian an immediate, but mild treatment of Triox::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CSO: Understood Lieutenant keep track of it but for now I think we've gotten what we needed to out of the vessel.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Nods::  OPS: Acknowledged Ensign.  Let me know when all have been beamed aboard.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Briskly as she works:: CMO: Unconscious, low O2 stats, exposure.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: nods and tapping another button, brings back up the recon telemetry::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Reaches out to the nearby cart as it's wheeled up by Merriweather, pulling a vial of triox and snapping it into a hypospray, administering a dose to the injured Lothian::  MO:  Anything more critical?
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
*Security*: Ensigns Richter and Harner, report to sickbay to keep watch on our new guests.  The Captain will be down shortly.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
CMO: Blunt wound trauma, no one critical.
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  The last of the 38 Lothian’s arrive in sickbay.  All 38 are accounted for.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Continues on without waiting for a response, administering triox to each untreated patient he comes across, and making brief notes on the biobeds of more severe exposure cases::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
CO: Transport complete ma'am all present and accounted for.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CTO:  Not sure if it is of any import, but the Lothian vessel seems to have originated from Lothian Prime.  At their current speed, they would have been adrift from about 30 to 40 days.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<Lt_Sokov>  ::Enters ward one, looking around quickly and picking up equipment from a cart::  CMO:  Orders, sir?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::With the press of a button turns off the console on the armrest and stands.  Looking at Kizlev on her way to the turbolift::  CTO: You are with me.  CSO: You have the bridge.  I will be in sickbay.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
Sokov:  New arrivals across the room.  Please get to them first; nothing that can't be handled in the next ten minutes in the rest of the room, at least.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::As she enters the turbolift she looks at Fong and nods::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Works carefully around the Lothian robes, the soft, fine materials familiar to her touch and eyes::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Nods as she turns back to her station... very curious about their new 'guests' and how it came about.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Waits for Kizlev before ordering the lift away::
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CSO: Now we know which side the balance will be tipped in this political spectrum we're now in. ::departs with the captain::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<Lt_Sokov>  ::Nods once and makes his way across, picking up equipment as he goes::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Frowns softly as she works gently around the Lothian’s, examining each for any life-threatening wounds, as she administers gradually increasing doses of Tri-ox::
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CO: Captain, I'm certain you understand that I was not questioning your judgment. I would have done the same thing in your place.
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::checks the comm line to DS-3 than smiles slightly at the successful transport::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::The doors close on the turbolift::  TL: Deck 4
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<CWO_Amica>  ::Walks across the room, having compiled the readings from all biobeds to a PADD::  CMO:  Sir, status report.  ::Extends it and waits while Welland works::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CTO: Kizlev, there was never any question in my mind that you were questioning my judgment.  You just wanted to make me aware of the possible repercussions.  I know you would have done the same thing in my place.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Nods and initiates a forcefield over this particular biobed, aiming to localize a temperature-controlled environment to prevent further nerve damage for this particular patient::
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CO: Now I think the need has arisen to come up with that speech. ::gazes at her knowingly, his antennae tipped slightly towards her::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Takes the PADD, quickly glancing over the figures::  Amica:  ...All right.  Head to intensive and get a chemical bath ready for bed seven.  I'll prep him.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CTO: It appears so Commander.  It is a good assumption that someone wanted to get rid of these 38 Lothian's without attracting a whole lot of attention.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Eyes widen as she leans forward to reread the data.::  *CO*:  Captain, data from Lothian Prime in.  The current life signs are at 12.3 billion, down also by a couple of billion.  But that is going to start increasing dramatically.  Nitrogen dioxide levels are close to toxic levels.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Continues to work softly, her occasional commands or responses concise, nearly to the point of curt, as she performs general treatment to the non-critical Lothian patients::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<CWO_Amica>  CMO:  Aye.  ::Catches Merriweather as he flies past::  Merriweather:  Sebastian, chem bath in ICU, room one.
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CO: These refugees are from Lothian Prime...but it's possible they may not wish to return. I anticipate they will request asylum from you. ::hears the CSO's message::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::The turbolift doors open as she exits and stops in the corridor to hear her commbadge::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
*CSO*: Have Ensign Fong send that data to DS3 and see what they would like us to do as our next course of action.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<PO_Merriweather>  Amica:  Right!  ::Dashes out through the ward, narrowly dodging Sren as she rounds a biobed::  Sren:  Sorry!  ::Disappears into ICU::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
*CO*:  Captain... as things stand, these people need alot more then we can give them.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Finishes looking over the patients in Ward One, lifts her kit, and makes her way toward the exit of sickbay, moving into the corridor and across the hall to Ward Two::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CTO: Aye, that would be the most logical thought in this case Commander.
Host Minister_Drizik says:
::Looks up from the biobed and slowly look around.::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<CWO_Amica>  ::Moves on toward Raeyld::  MO:  Ma'am, main status board is copied here.  ::Follows across the hall::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: turns around::  OPS:  I am packaging our current data.  Send it out to DS3... :: starts to say something more but simply shakes her head.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
*CSO*: Aye, Lieutenant.
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
CSO: Aye ma'am.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Finishes the data compression and turns to nod at Fong::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::downloads the newest data to a packet, flags it with 'important' and forwards it to Deep Space 3, along with a request for instructions.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Begins making her way down the corridor towards sickbay.::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Half to herself, half to the nurse:: Amica: Hm? Oh--Oh, good.  Quick glimpse with my own eyes.   ::Enters Ward 2 and begins a path intuitively planned to bring her past every patient within the ward::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
CSO: Orders are to maintain current position.  We are not to interfere unless requested by the Lothian governing body.
Host Minister_Drizik says:
::Watches the movement in the room and tries to move feeling the pain through out his body.::
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::heads towards sickbay with her, and nods to the enlisted guards standing watch outside, knowing that Richter and Harner must be inside::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Looks up as he sees a patient stir on a biobed nearby::  Minister:  Please, lie down, Sir...you're in the sickbay of the Federation vessel Claymore.  I'm the chief medical officer, Doctor Welland...we're going to take good care of all of you, but I need you to remain lying down until I've said otherwise.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Checks his biobed monitor::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Pauses beside one bed, about half way down:: Amica: --This one...His color isn't right.  ::Pauses beside his biobed monitor, scanning his stats::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<CWO_Amica>  MO:  Color, Ma'am?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Nods to the security officers as she and Kizlev enter the ward::
Host Minister_Drizik says:
::Reaches out and grabs Welland’s hand, sending what feels like hot needles into it.::  CMO:  Forgive me doctor.  I am not aware of your vessel.  How did we get here?
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<Lt_Sokov>  ::Looks up from his work briefly, as everyone is mostly quiet, except for Welland, then finishes up and makes his way across the hall as well, as the biobed lights in ward one all show green, meaning the patients there have been tended::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Gestures somewhat vaguely with her free hand, trying to come up with the right word:: Amica: Erm...Complexion. Pallor. Skin tone.   It's...off.  It's....  ::Suddenly jabs an indicator on the monitor, where she's found the problem:: Dehydration.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Flinches back from the man, not quite sure what to make of what just happened::  Minister:  To be honest, I haven't been brought... ::Rubs his arm a bit::  ...brought quite up on the situation, myself, but I gather you were in a dangerous situation and transported here from some vessel.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Flags a passing tech to prepare an IV solution:: Amica: Their physiology is practically unknown to us...The biobeds can't alert us to everything, without a point of reference.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Watches as the doctors and nurses scramble through the ward to take care of all the patients::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Reopens his tricorder and waves his wand over his own arm, wondering::
Host Minister_Drizik says:
::Begins to understand the situation a bit better from his contact with the Doctor.::  CMO:  My people are they safe?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Stares for a moment at Fong and then turns, quietly cursing under her breath::  I should not be surprised... :: remembers her own people’s past.::  *CO*:  Captain, we are ordered to maintain current position... we are not to interfere unless requested by their government.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<CWO_Amica>  MO:  True enough...  ::Looks back at the PADD:: Do you have a solution?
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
<Crewman_Thiss>::Moves at the Doctor's behest, approaching the Lothian with an IV drip::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
Minister:  So far, we believe everyone is stable, but it would help us if we had better access to some medical records.  Our knowledge of your physiology and... ::Shifts his weight from one foot to another, feeling oddly more comfortable::  ...Essentially, yes.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Purses her lips a moment, thinking:: Amica: Nothing off-hand, other than personally surveying each patient. ::As Thiss takes over the current patient, she moves on down the aisle:: I'd imagine I'm the only one here who's seen a healthy specimen.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Makes her way over to Welland as he is tending to a patient.::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
CSO: I've got plenty of local audio comms I'm sure something in here is a coded distress call ma'am...also Lothian prime seems to be counting down to something, ma'am.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Raises an eyebrow and looks at Kizlev as they both hear Senn's message::  *CSO*: Acknowledged.  So basically they just wanted us to leave the Lothian's to die on their vessel.  Do they know we have already intervened?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: turns around and smiles wryly::  OPS:  Go for it... see what you can find.
Host Minister_Drizik says:
CMO:  I am Minister Drizik and these are the members of my council.  We are the...  ::Pauses.::  No we were the governing body on Lothian Prime before....   ::Trails off again slowly rubbing some of his wounds.::  Before they took over.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<CWO_Amica>  ::Tilts his head a bit::  MO:  You have?  There's practically nothing in the database.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
*CO*:  That was not in the report.  Ummm... you want me to add that bit?  Also, Lieutenant Fong says Lothian Prime seems to be counting down to something.
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
CSO: We have about eighteen hours...or so ma'am
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
Minister:  I see... ::Looks up, thoughtfully, and spots T'Shara::  CO:  Captain...I think there's someone over here you're going to want to talk to.  ::Turns back to Drizik's biobed, looking at his vitals::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Finishes in Ward Two, and makes her way back, with Amica, across the hall and into the Main Ward:: Amica: ...Technically, not. But a very, very well done holographic likeness.  ::Enters the Main Ward, seeing Welland and T'Shara interacting with a conscious Lothian...her curiosity piqued::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
*CO*:  Apparently we or they have eighteen hours.  I hope you have a few miracles in hiding as I don't even want to guess what that is about.
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::follows in step close beside T'Shara and says quietly to her:: CO: A countdown could likely be related to the long range missile systems the recon picked up earlier.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Standing off to the back of Welland she hears the Ministers conversation::  Self: This changes alot.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Approaches Welland, T'Shara, and the Lothian Minister::
Host Minister_Drizik says:
