<SMDrew>	Patrolling the Frontier - Mission 43  - 11007.27

<SMDrew>	Summary:  The Renovatio drifts closer to Hatder 14 as her escape pods drift away in all directions.  The Claymore still hides in the atmosphere of Hatder 11 as they continue to take in recent events...

<SMDrew>	****************** Resume Mission ***********************

<aCTO_LtCmdr_Damrok>	::Looks up at the captain, not sure what the next move should be::

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::on the Bridge, still not sure he understands what the hell is going on there, in T'Shara's office, or in orbit of the planet they had left several weeks before::

<OPS_Ens_Fong>	::on the bridge at the Operations station:: XO: I think we can still salvage the Renovatio but we need to move quickly on that one sir.

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::does a double-take of sorts, looking back towards Fong::  OPS: I believe the Captain has made her intentions for the Renovatio clear.

<CO_Capt_TShara>	::Steps over the pile of the former Captain.::  CTO:  They don't make Starfleet captains as strong as they used too it seems.  ::Places the bloody phaser on her desk and pulls out a cotton tissue from her drawer.::

<CO_Capt_TShara>	::Begins to wipe some of the blood off her hand as she looks over at the mass on the floor.::

<OPS_Ens_Fong>	::pulls up the new orders and raises an eyebrow::

<MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld>	::Watches Captain T'Shara half-a-moment more, then nods, and kneels beside the pile of....goo, that was Captain Alekseev, tapping her comm. badge:: *Sickbay*: Raeyld to Sickbay, please beam a container, roughly 3 cubic meters volume capacity.    ...and a vacuum collector.

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	OPS: How long do we have?

<aCTO_LtCmdr_Damrok>	::Holsters his sidearm and folds his hands behind his back::  CO:  It would seem not, Captain, but this one in particular seems to have had his integrity compromised in...more than one way.

<OPS_Ens_Fong>	XO: She'll be hitting the atmosphere in less than fifteen minutes, sir.

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::walks back towards his own console, noting new instructions for him as well::

<aTO_Ens_Mornal>  ::Stands ready at tactical should his services be required::

<MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld>	::Removes her tricorder, beginning a cursory scan as she waits for the other equipment to materialize::

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::looks at Matthews, then turns around towards Fong::  OPS: I guess we can ask.

<CEO_LtCmdr_Hull>	::In Main Engineering, watching as the Engineers pick up the pieces, Isaac heads over to the master display board and starts mapping out a repair plan::

<CO_Capt_TShara>	::Glances up at Damrok as she finishes wiping her hands and throws the tissue in the trash.::  aCTO: That is an understatement Commander.  The question is how did he manage to do that

<MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld>	::Looks up from her kneeling position on the floor::  CO: Captain...Be careful, please. ::A quick glance of concern, before she turns her full attention back to the ...disintegrated matter, at hand::

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	*CEO*: Commander Hull to the Bridge!

<CEO_LtCmdr_Hull>	::Looks up at the overhead::  *XO*:  Aye, on the way!

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	*CO*: Davis to T'Shara.

<CO_Capt_TShara>	::Nods::

<CO_Capt_TShara>	MO: How long do you think it will take before you have any results?

<aCTO_LtCmdr_Damrok>	::Glances to Raeyld::  CO:  I suggest a more thorough medical examination will be our only lead in that regard, Captain.  However, it appeared as though he touched his neck prior to...turning to sludge...which indicates to me some sort of failsafe suicide device to be used in case of capture.

<CAG_FO_Williams>	::steps off the lift and onto the bridge, his eyes narrowed ever so slightly as he crosses to the command center, eyes locked squarely on Davis::

<CEO_LtCmdr_Hull>	::Heads out ME to the nearest turbolift to the Bridge::

<aCTO_LtCmdr_Damrok>	CO:  The transporter logs might be able to tell us if he had such a device implanted, as they would have a thorough scan of his physiology.

<CO_Capt_TShara>	*XO*: T'Shara here Commander go ahead.

<OPS_Ens_Fong>	::turns his attention back to the life pods wondering why the heck they aren't calling out for help::

<MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld>	::As the container and vacuum device arrive, she begins....collecting, the remains of Captain Alekseev::  CO: Fifteen minutes before the most preliminary information beyond a tricorder scan. But I'll get you that information as soon as possible, Captain.

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::hesitates for a moment, not sure how T'Shara will react::  *CO*: Captain, Lieutenant Fong reports that we have only 15 minutes to salvage the Renovatio. We have to move quickly to do this, though.

<OPS_Ens_Fong>	::plots a hypothetical course into the computer:: XO: At best speed, I estimate it will take thirteen minutes to reach the Renovatio, sir.

<CO_Capt_TShara>	aCTO: Agreed Commander.  But, why take such high precautions especially if this was just a routine surveillance to see what had happened to the Claymore.

<CEO_LtCmdr_Hull>	::Arrives on the Bridge::  XO:  Commander?  

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::gestures towards Hull to wait for a moment::

<CEO_LtCmdr_Hull>	::Stands to the side, looking around the bridge::

<CAG_FO_Williams>	::tilts his head a degree to one side, listening, keeping his own observations to himself... for the moment, though the current situation has generated more than a handful of them::

<CO_Capt_TShara>	MO: Thank you Doctor.  I don't want you sharing this information with anyone other than myself for the time being.

<aTO_Ens_Mornal>  ::Suddenly has a brain cramp concerning whether the tractor beam would be his responsibility...little beads of sweat begin trickling down his forehead::

<MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld>	::Purses her lips slightly, as the device activates, slurping the captain up into the container:: CO: ...I understand, Captain. But--

<CO_Capt_TShara>	::Turns her attention toward the window slightly::  *XO*: We will take no action towards the Renovatio at this time.

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	*CO*: Captain...::pauses again for a moment, looking around at the crew on the Bridge::

<aCTO_LtCmdr_Damrok>	::Nods, tilting his head slightly::  CO:  Captain...I should point out that the Renovatio's computer systems may contain some lead concerning our current situation.

<MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld>	::Winces ever-so-slightly:: CO: I suggest including Commander Davis in the list of those who "need-to-know."

<CMC_MCPO_Matthews>  ::wonders for a moment if Davis is going to tell off that Vulcan shrew finally::

<aCTO_LtCmdr_Damrok>	::Knows she already knows this, but...glances out the window as well::

<CO_Capt_TShara>	*XO*: Yes, Commander...

<CO_Capt_TShara>	aCTO: Yes, I am aware Commander you may return to your station.

<aTO_Ens_Mornal>  ::Looks down at Davis from his post, slightly puzzled::

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::nods to himself more than anyone else, and decides this isn't best handled separated by a wall, in front of junior officers::  *CO*: Can I speak to you in your Ready Room?

<CO_Capt_TShara>	*XO*: Has the CAG arrived on the bridge?

<aCTO_LtCmdr_Damrok>	::Nods and bows slightly from the waist::  CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::Nods to Raeyld on his way out, breezing onto the bridge::

<MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld>	::The remainder of the captain removed to the container, she orders it beamed back to sickbay::

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::frowns::  *CO*: Not that I've seen.

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::shakes his head::

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	OPS: Lieutenant, you have the Bridge.

<CO_Capt_TShara>	*XO*: I'll meet you in the aft bridge conference room.

<CO_Capt_TShara>	::nods to Damrok as he exits::

<CO_Capt_TShara>	::Exits the ready room and enters the bridge::

<OPS_Ens_Fong>	::brings up the science department's report on Hatder III's environment::

<aCTO_LtCmdr_Damrok>	::Makes his way to the tactical station -- does a slight double-take at Davis' assignment, then walks up to Mornal::  aTO:  Ensign, please remain here.  I have some other business to which I should attend.

<CO_Capt_TShara>	::Looks around the bridge noticing Flight Officer Williams::

<MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld>	::Raises a breath, as the Captain sweeps her way out of the Ready Room, a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach::

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::ignores T'Shara's message and goes over to Hull::  CEO: Commander, can I count on you to do something discreetly?

<CAG_FO_Williams>	::from just back of the command center, he observes passively as TShara enters the bridge and, shrugging, moves away from where he'd been 
standing to approach TShara::

<CEO_LtCmdr_Hull>	XO:  Aye, I'm your man Sir!

<OPS_Ens_Fong>	::blinks twice at the XO than looks around the bridge with a moment of 'oh crap' than turns back to his console:: XO: Aye sir.

<aTO_Ens_Mornal>  ::Raises an eyebrow::  aCTO:  You're the boss.  Sir.  ::Fidgets slightly about all the weird stuff going on lately::

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::moves closer, and says quietly::  CEO: Commander, in the next few minutes, I'd like you to devise the easiest way to recover the Renovatio and her crew.

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	CEO: And let me know what your solution is in a discreet manner.

<MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld>	::Her quarry beamed away, she stands and surveys the room for a moment -- the carpet will simply have to be replaced::

<aCTO_LtCmdr_Damrok>	::Nods once and turns on his heel, walking to the turbolift and entering::  Turbolift:  Deck four.  ::Spins to face the doors as they close::

<CO_Capt_TShara>	::Walks past Commander Davis and Hull.:: CEO:  And after that get those damn Breen devices off my Hull.  ::Continues to walk past and enters the conference room.::

<CEO_LtCmdr_Hull>	XO:  Within the next few minutes?  ::chuckles::  that's easy Commander, Tractor Beam, we can transport everyone off the ship into the main cargo bays, easy as pie!

<CEO_LtCmdr_Hull>	XO:  Tractor the ship right off to our quarter, we can be secure within minutes

<CAG_FO_Williams>	::follows after the captain, one eyebrow inching up the closer they get to the conference room::

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::nods, glad to have an engineer that almost always has a solution::  CEO: Have a contingency plan ready for action at a moment's notice, then.

<MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld>	::Finally steps out onto the bridge, watching the Captain and Mr. Williams head into the conference room, Davis conversing with Hull, Damrok leaving the bridge, and Fong looking sort of...wilted::

<CO_Capt_TShara>	::Notices Williams' approach as the conference room doors close.  She moves over to the conference room windows and looks out at the cloud formations.::

<CEO_LtCmdr_Hull>	XO:  Aye Sir!

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::nods again to Hull and peels away, heading towards the conference room::

<aCTO_LtCmdr_Damrok>	::Exits the turbolift and walks toward Sickbay, entering with his usual commanding stride and walking to the nearest unoccupied computer terminal::

<CAG_FO_Williams>	::moves to help himself to a seat at the conference table, lifting up a shoulder slightly:: CO: Not quite so cut and dry as you prefer, is it captain?

<MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld>	::Glances to each temporarily, before making her way to the turbolift, and ordering sickbay::

<aCTO_LtCmdr_Damrok>	::Brings up the transporter logs for a good look at Captain Alekseev's buffer scans::

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::enters the Conference Room and sits unceremoniously::

<CO_Capt_TShara>	CAG: No but we can discuss that later.  I need you to beam over to the Renovatio and secure as many isolinear optical chips as possible within the next eight minutes.  After that there will be no time to beam you back.  There probably will not be any gravity nor will there be any power when you get there.

<CAG_FO_Williams>	::narrows his eyes just a touch:: CO: So, essentially, what you're telling me is you've officially and completely taken leave of your senses. Correct?

<MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld>	::Exits the turbolift and shortly strolls into sickbay with her usual purposeful demeanor, stopping short upon the sight of Damrok at one of her consoles:: aCTO: .....Commander?  ::Hesitantly::

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	CO/CAG: Captain, Hull thinks we can recover the ship easily. Why don't we just do that, and then we would have all the time we'd need to recover information?

<CO_Capt_TShara>	::turns back around facing Williams and Davis.::

<CEO_LtCmdr_Hull>	::Keys into his padd, his plan for recovering the Renovatio and her crew in life pods, all at the same time, hands the PADD to Mr. Fong::

<CO_Capt_TShara>	XO/CAG: I'm not about to risk the Claymore over the Renovatio.  We have time to beam someone over pull what we can and let her suffer the fate that was designed for the Claymore.

<CEO_LtCmdr_Hull>	::At the Engineering Console, programming the tractor beam::

<aCTO_LtCmdr_Damrok>	::Turns his head toward Raeyld and smiles good-naturedly::  MO:  Doctor.

<CEO_LtCmdr_Hull>	*Mr. Secord*:  Make preparations for making an in-system jump to warp to the Renovatio

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::at long, long last, he loses his patience::  CO: You don't even know that a trap doesn't exist there for someone like Williams. I respect his abilities, but I think it's foolish to send him in there when we have an easier solution.

<CO_Capt_TShara>	CAG: Now if your not up for the task I will ask Commander Damrok.

<MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld>	::Not currently in the mood to be good-natured...she is, at best, carefully neutral:: aCTO: Is there something I can help you with, Commander?

<OPS_Ens_Fong>	::raises an eyebrow at the CEO's padd, and transfers said plan to his console silently::

<Ens. Secord> *CEO*:  Aye Commander, we are ready as we are ever going to be...without a space yard

<CAG_FO_Williams>	CO: Not to put too fine a point on it, captain, but your ship has a target on it. Call me overly suspicious, but I'd say it's *already* at risk, with or without this unexpected replacement.

<aCTO_LtCmdr_Damrok>	::Modes his expression slightly, looking slightly more somber and serious::  MO:  I do not intend to be a burden upon you, Doctor, but I would be interested to review your findings in real time...if that would be possible.

<CO_Capt_TShara>	CAG: Fine Mr. Williams then you are dismissed.  Return to your station.

<CAG_FO_Williams>	::shrugs, gets up, and starts for the door without a word::

<CO_Capt_TShara>	::turns back around and looks back out the window and waits to speak with Commander Davis once Williams leaves::

<MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld>	aCTO: Pending the Captain's approval, I'd be glad to share any information I discover with you. Until then, unfortunately, she did instruct that I discuss my findings with no one.

<CEO_LtCmdr_Hull>	OPS:  Warping-In maneuver is ready, we have about 3 minutes to make this work...sensors are tied into the cargo transporters targeting for all Renovatio's life pods, this will be close.  When we are pulling away from the planet, the shearing forces on the tractor beam will be at maximum, we could loose cohesion without a moments notice

<OPS_Ens_Fong>	::Checks on the Renovatio's status::

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::watches Williams leave with some degree of disbelief, then checks back to T'Shara::

<CAG_FO_Williams>	::steps back onto the bridge, and makes his way across it, towards the turbolifts::

<MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld>	::Weakly smiles apologetically, and moves off for the medical laboratory, with a passing farewell as she goes:: aCTO: If there's anything else I can do to help, please let me know...

<CO_Capt_TShara>	XO: The Captain that we beamed over claimed he was here to rescue us.  He claimed that he was dispatched from Starbase 514 two weeks ago.  However, we both know that there is no way any Starfleet vessel can get here from 514 in two weeks.

<MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld>	::Steps within the medical laboratory:: All: Clear the room. This lab is now restricted to authorized personnel only.

<OPS_Ens_Fong>	CEO: The cargo transporters are authorized for emergency life 
from transport only.  As the life pods appear to be...stable, we could easily wait for the personnel transports to do the job, sir.

<CO_Capt_TShara>	XO: Which means they were close by.  Someone is out to destroy a ship in the middle of nowhere.  ::Begins to walk around the table::

<CAG_FO_Williams>	::steps in to the nearest lift, orders his quarters::

<aCTO_LtCmdr_Damrok>	::Nods once, leaving the transporter log information up on the monitor::  MO:  Yes, of course.  The error is mine.  ::Turns without another word and walks to the exit, leaving::

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	CO: We're wasting precious seconds right now, Captain.

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	CO: I hate to admit it, but Williams is right. There's potentially information there on the Renovatio.

<CEO_LtCmdr_Hull>	OPS:  Your call Mr. Fong, I'll handle the Helm, we should work closely together on this

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	CO: We're taking a risk by sitting, we'd be taking a risk by recovering the vessel, and we're taking a risk heading straight to Earth...it doesn't matter at this point.

<CO_Capt_TShara>	XO: Which means that there must be something in this area that they don't want us to find.  ::slams her hands down on the table::  XO: To hell with the Renovatio Commander.

<CEO_LtCmdr_Hull>	::Taps the FCO on-duty on the shoulder, as she stands, Isaac takes the console, adjusts the seat, checks the Claymore's relative position to the Renovatio::

<CAG_FO_Williams>	::steps off the lift on the appropriate deck, and moves down the corridor, keying in his code and stepping through the door before it completely opens::

<aCTO_LtCmdr_Damrok>	::Arrives on the bridge again, passing through to tactical and dismissing Mornal for the time being::

<MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld>	::Initiates scans on the gooey mass::

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::surprised by her reaction, but it only fuels his own anger::  CO: I'm not sure what your problem is, Captain, but you've been completely on your own these last few weeks. I've been in the dark for an awful lot of this.

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	CO: I think you're going about this in a callous manner, and I am concerned.

<MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld>	::Brings up Alekseev's medical records, scanning them carefully with a scowl::

<CEO_LtCmdr_Hull>	OPS:  I'll maneuver the ship for the warp-in, once we in position, the tractor beam is being automated by the computer, your job will be to use the sensors for targeting the life pods, I'll start braking and pulling maneuvers away from the planet simultaneously; we need to be coordinated.

<MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld>	::Runs additional scans::

<CEO_LtCmdr_Hull>	*CO/XO*:  Captain, XO, working with Mr. Fong, I believe we are at the point of no return

<CO_Capt_TShara>	XO: Yes, and I apologize for that Commander, but it is my duty to protect this ship and her crew.  I am after all in command of this vessel and should not have to remind you of such.

<MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld>	::Quickly rushes out of sickbay and into the nearest turbolift, returning to the bridge::

<OPS_Ens_Fong>	::simply raises an eyebrow at the Chief Engineer:: CEO: Sir.

<MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld>	::Hits her comm badge:: *CO*: Captain, I have results. Where can I find you?

<CEO_LtCmdr_Hull>	::Looking over at Mr. Fong::  OPS:  Ready?

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::shakes his head again::  CO: You're right. So if you're going to have us hide out here until we are found and destroyed, I guess that is your prerogative.

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	CO: I won't present the allusion to anyone that I'm in the know, or supportive, or anything.

<CO_Capt_TShara>	*CEO*: You have no orders to do so you will stand down.

<OPS_Ens_Fong>	::overhears the CEO's comm, shrugs:: CEO: It was a solid plan sir.

<MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld>	::Exits the turbolift and steps onto the bridge, looking around quickly for the Captain::

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	CEO: Stand by, Commander.

<CAG_FO_Williams>	::stepping across his living area, he enters the bedroom, and moves over to a storage closet therein... keying in an access code, he begins pulling out various forms of small, bladed weaponry, and an EVA suit modified just enough to accommodate such... hey, if she's hell bent on sending someone over there to probably die, he may as well make it difficult if not impossible::

<aCTO_LtCmdr_Damrok>	::In the apparent absence of any immediate duty, begins filling out his report...shakes his head, knowing that only a couple of Claymore officers will likely ever see it, anyway::

<CEO_LtCmdr_Hull>	*CO*: :: Raises his hands off the console in disbelief, looking over at Mr. Fong::  Aye Captain, standing down!

<CO_Capt_TShara>	XO: If you wish to be in the know then you should sit here and listen.  ::takes a seat::

<aCTO_LtCmdr_Damrok>	::Over his shoulder::  MO:  The Captain is in the aft conference room, to the best of my knowledge.

<MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld>	::Moves over to Fong and Hull, with a frown:: CEO/OPS: ...Are there life signs on that vessel?

<CEO_LtCmdr_Hull>	::Places the programs on standby for the tractor beam and targeting sensors::

<aCTO_LtCmdr_Damrok>	::Continues working at his report, not lifting his head::

<OPS_Ens_Fong>	MO: No ma'am.  The crew has abandoned ship to the life pods.

<CEO_LtCmdr_Hull>	MO:  Not on the ship, but the life pods show signs of life

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::crosses his arms, waiting::

<MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld>	::Nods to Damrok in grateful acknowledgement, her focus still on Hull and Fong::

<MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld>	CEO: ...Thank you.  ::Strides quickly to the aft conference room, ringing the chime::

<SMDrew>	ACTION:  The hull burns bright red as the Nebula class vessel enters the atmosphere of Hatder 14.  Instantly her port nacelle tears off streaking across the frozen planet.

<MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld>	::Waits approximately 2.5 seconds, then enters the Conference Room anyway:: CO: Captain.  XO: Commander.

<CO_Capt_TShara>	XO: Now if you are ready to listen here is the situation Mr. Williams claims that section 31 has cleared the Claymore of any unsecured personnel which means everyone.....  ::Stops and looks up at Raeyld::

<CO_Capt_TShara>	MO: Yes, commander

<CAG_FO_Williams>	::fits each piece into its place, slowly, carefully, every so often pausing to check their security... close, easily accessible, and relatively out of sight... precisely how the intelligence officer turned pilot likes to operate::

<CEO_LtCmdr_Hull>	*CO*:  Captain, the Renovatio has just burned up in the atmosphere

<SMDrew>	ACTION:  Outter hull plates buckle on the Renovatio as the stress of reentry increases.

<MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld>	::PADD with results in her hand at her side, she nonetheless questions the Captain plainly and without accusation:: CO: Why is the Renovatio crashing?

<CO_Capt_TShara>	*CEO*: Acknowledged Commander.  T'Shara out.

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::turns back to Raeyld, then back to T'Shara, fuming::

<CO_Capt_TShara>	MO: Because we disabled her.  Now what do you have for us.

<CEO_LtCmdr_Hull>	::plots a course towards the Renovatio's life pods at 800kph::

<SMDrew>	ACTION:  Plasma flares out of the open escape pod hangers.

<CAG_FO_Williams>	::taps his badge, as he secures the last of the pieces:: 
*OPS*: How much time will your tractor beam be able to get us if we use this ship's engines to maintain her position?

<MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld>	::Simply:: CO: ...It is an inanimate object, with potential answers, and no one left living on it to pose a threat. Why is the Renovatio crashing?

<OPS_Ens_Fong>	::tries to figure out what the Flight officer just asked:: *CAG* Could you repeat that sir?

<SMDrew>	ACTION:  The Renovatio breeches the atmosphere and explodes sending cuncks of debris across the planets surface.

<CAG_FO_Williams>	*OPS*: The ship your captain has just excused from pretty nearly anything remotely resembling basic functions. Assuming we could get there, how much time could your tractor beam buy us?

<OPS_Ens_Fong>	*CO/XO* Ma'am Sir, the Renovatio has been destroyed.

<CO_Capt_TShara>	::raises an eyebrow at the question, wondering if this is what was so important that she interrupted them for.::

<aCTO_LtCmdr_Damrok>	::Ignores his panel's warning beep as the Renovatio explodes, continuing to fill out his report::

<CO_Capt_TShara>	*OPS*: Acknowledged.

<OPS_Ens_Fong>	*CAG* I'm sorry to inform you, however the Renovatio has been destroyed.

<MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld>	::At the sound of Fong's voice, her frame slumps slightly, as if the wind were gone out of her. She shrugs, her former line of inquiry moot now, and tosses the PADD almost irreverently onto the Conference Room Table::  ::Clinically:: CO/XO: Necrosis. Cell death. Similar to that caused by bacteria or venom, but at an previously unrecorded rate.

<CO_Capt_TShara>	MO: It has crashed do to the fact that we disabled the vessel.  If we were to move away from this location the escape pods and those on board would see us potentially alerting a crew of 750.

<CAG_FO_Williams>	*OPS*: Scan the planet's surface. Anything that could still be a functioning data module.

<MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld>	CO/XO: There was a miniscule amount of non-human DNA, quite possibly the source of the venom or bacteria.

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::looks back towards Raeyld, unsure of what she's saying::

<CO_Capt_TShara>	MO: Is there any possibility of isolating the non-human DNA?

<MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld>	CO/XO: I'll work on it.

<CO_Capt_TShara>	MO: Thank you Doctor.

<CAG_FO_Williams>	::while he waits, he sets the EVA suit back in the storage closet, closes it... it wouldn't be needed after all... fortunately, he supposed::

<OPS_Ens_Fong>	::begins a scan of the Renovatio's remains looking for functional data modules::

<CO_Capt_TShara>	XO: Now, for more pressing matters we need to find a friendly quiet place to take the Claymore for repairs.  I would think at this point any Starfleet station or friendly federation port would be out of the question.  We're not going to be able to do much without warp and our deuterium supply so low.

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	CO: If the people we are fighting are so resourceful, what makes you think we're going to be able to settle this on our own, with zero resources other than what we have here?

<CAG_FO_Williams>	::moves over to his own console in the living area, and calls up sensor data on the escape pods:: Computer: Computer, extrapolate based on available data. Escape pods most likely to contain ship's first and/or second officer.

<CO_Capt_TShara>	XO: Williams suggested that there were others that thought something was going on.  People being promoted within Starfleet and the Federation to quickly.  I believe that even Admiral Cosgrave may have been alerted to this.  Hence his sudden disappearance with the Overton.

<CAG_FO_Williams>	::the display shifts, and he attempts a scan of the highlighted pods for number of life signs on each::

<CO_Capt_TShara>	XO: There has to be a way to contact these people or at least have Williams try to contact section 31.  However, I'm opposed to doing that.

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::shakes his head::  CO: Why am I hearing this now for the first time?

<CO_Capt_TShara>	XO: Because I heard about it only moments before you beamed down to the planets surface.

<OPS_Ens_Fong>	::sits calmly at the operations console his eyes glued to the screen::
