ARC 14 - Blowing Kisses in the Wind - Mission 10 - 11311.12

Summary:  The away team has docked and an initial search of the outpost has uncovered the entire outpost's population dead and one lone survivor.  Dr. Coxs has told the away team that Starfleet was the cause of the Thalaron radiation and the killing of anyone that survived the initial attack.  He has also mentioned that anyone trying to leave was unsuccessful.  Many new questions, no new answers, and no Jarrow…

****************************** Resume Mission ***************************

CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Having finally taken a sleeping drought, sleep has claimed her.::
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@CNS: Counselor the computer records have been wiped. There is nothing of important to retrieve.
SO Lt Aika Singh says:
::On the bridge, quietly going through what sensor data they can get.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Sits in her ready room, looking over some data.  Waiting on any word from the away team::
CNS Lt Foster says:
@::Glances up from the console he'd been looking at not having much luck either.::  CEO:  Any idea how many people were supposed to have been here.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Aboard the away team's old merchant ship, which feels considerably more cozy in comparison to the scene onboard the station...sitting at the operations station, running a few scans to try to determine the possible effects of using subspace::
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@CNS: Well let’s see .. ::Inspects the computer and silently hopes the Lieutenant does not suggest they go count bodies as well::

@ACTION:  With in the operations center the computers and console all go dark at the same time...

MO Ens Stevens says:
::Checks the inventory physically there versus what is the computer has listed::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Finally looks up from her study of the DNA devices, and becomes acutely aware of the stiffness in her back::
CNS Lt Foster says:
@::Raises his hands from the console as everything goes dark.::  CEO:  I swear I didn't touch anything.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Stands up and shifts a little, stretches backward to touch the ground behind her, loosening the tensed muscles, then stands straight once more::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Switches on the comms and taps at the console for a half-minute or so, trying to scramble the origin and the destination of his signal as much as possible from prying eyes::
SO Lt Aika Singh says:
::Everything quiet, she sits back with a padd and works through an equation she is working on for some enzymes::
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@CNS: Ah, yes here it is. ::Blinks as the power goes out:: As well, I believe it said 10,000 assigned officers 55,000 occupants total .. that is what I read before it went dead anyway.
SO Lt Aika Singh says:
::Sits up as a signal comes through::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Taps her commbadge::  *SO*: Lieutenant anything on sensors?
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@CNS: Perhaps we should attempt to return to the ship; we are overdue sir?
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Broadcasts on audio only, on a relatively secure channel::  COM: Claymore:  Echo one to home base, respond please.
SO Lt Aika Singh says:
*CO*: No, ma'am.  But I am getting a comm signal.  It could be from our people.  I am not able to pin point its location.
SO Lt Aika Singh says:
*CO*:  It is...
SO Lt Aika Singh says:
COM: XO:  Sir, we are reading you.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Carefully sets the pieces inside a drawer, and exits her office, into the main ward::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Looks around the ward, mentally checking off the locations of various staff members::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Stands from her chair and exits her Ready Room out onto the bridge.  Making her way over to science.::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@COM: SO:  Home base...the entire station is a loss.  No sign of the target.  Mass casualties, thalaron radiation.  Lone survivor says Starfleet was responsible.  Please advise.
SO Lt Aika Singh says:
::Works on clearing the signal... nodding to her captain as she comes up.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Stands quietly next to Lieutenant Singh, listening::
CNS Lt Foster says:
@::Cringes as he hears the numbers, wondering if they were all on the station or what was left of them.::  CEO:  Any idea what happened to the power.  ::Taps a few buttons on the console trying to get a response.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Nods::
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@::Glances at the turbolift door then back at Foster:: CNS: Suppose the lift still works sir?
SO Lt Aika Singh says:
CO:  Go ahead, captain.  ::Taps a button::  You are on.

@ACTION:  The computers and consoles come back online within the operations center.

CNS Lt Foster says:
@::Shrugs his shoulders.:: CEO:  Only one way to find out we...  ::Trails off as the consoles come back on.::
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@::Jumps down into the pit for Operations control and starts to remove a panel so he can inspect it:: CNS: Well let's see about that .. ::clearly unhappy Foster wants to stay any longer::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Frowns slightly as she notices someone missing, and heads down the corridor and turns a quick left, heading into the storage room::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Knocks at the corner of the doorway, clearing her throat once, so as not to sneak up on Stevens::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Shudders in her sleep, an image swimming as a shadow on the conference table catching her eye.  But as she tries to track it, it slips away.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
COM: XO: Acknowledged Commander.  Please be advised we will reposition Claymore in closer to the station for better scans of the bodies.  I will have a second away team prepared of medical and science to help with further scans on the station.
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@::Glances up as things come back on:: CNS: I didn't do it, I had not even started looking over the hardware yet.
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Turns quickly and snaps to attention:: CMO: Ma'am! I mean...Doctor. Sorry, old habits die hard.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
*CMO/MO/CSO*: This is Captain T'Shara please report to my ready room.
Gladwyn says:
::Sits up at a chirp in her ear.::
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@::Hops out of the pit and back to Primary Ops control:: Computer: Can you explain the power failure that just occurred?
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Coolly::  COM: CO:  Understood.  Do not dock with station under any circumstances.  Indications that the station is booby-trapped.  We may not be able to leave via our ship.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Raises a breath, but is quickly cut off by T'Shara::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Clears her throat again, then taps her commbadge:: *CO*: Stevens and I are on our way.
Gladwyn says:
::As she remembers where she is at, she turns to see her mother sound asleep.::  CSO: On... ya un... ::Shakes her shoulder.::
CNS Lt Foster says:
@::Looks around the room waiting to see if the computer responds to the CEOs question, getting an errie feeling.  Plenty of old scary movies he liked to watched went this way.::
Computer says:
@CEO: Computer operation is 100%.   Last known power failure was 14 months ago.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Drowsily:: Gladwyn: Go back to sleep, hon.
MO Ens Stevens says:
CMO: Any idea what's going on?
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@Computer: Begin a level 3 diagnostic on base subroutines in the ODN. Power did just fail all over Operations. You still have no record of this occurrence?
Gladwyn says:
::Shakes her mother again, and then reaches over to get her translator.:: CSO:  Wake up, mom.  Your commbadge went off.  I think I heard the captain’s voice.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Raises an eyebrow and looks back down::  COM: XO: Understood Commander.  We can beam you out when you are through on the station.  I would like you to remain and coordinate with the second team once they arrive.  Is there anything you need the second team to bring with them?
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::With a groan she turns and throws an arm over her eyes::  *CO*:  Captain, please repeat.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Taps her commbadge::  *CMO*: Acknowledged.
SO Lt Aika Singh says:
::Pulls up information on Thalaron radiation::
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@::While he waits of the computer to runs its self-diagnostic he jumps back down in the put looking for signs of physical damage to the circuitry::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Taps her commbadge again:: *CSO*: Commander, please report to my ready room.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
COM:  CO:  EVA suits...that's all.  It's more awful here than I can express.  We're headed down to meet up with the others and look at the core.  Be safe.  Echo one out.

Computer says:
@CEO: Unable to comply.  There are no diagnostics within the central computer processor.   There are no records of any power outages on this level.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Shakes her head:: MO: Perhaps there's some news from the station.  ::Stands from the doorframe::  We should get going.  ::Turns back down the hall and into the main ward, sweeping an arm through the strap of her bag, catching it as she heads out the door::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Rolls over and off the bed onto her feet.::  *CO*:  Aye, captain.  I will be there shortly.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
CPU:  Computer, light, candle 50%
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Watches Singh pulling up data on the console::  SO: Lieutenant please forward any data you find on the Thalaron radiation to my ready room.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Steps into the turbolift, and turns, waiting for Stevens to join her::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Turns to look at her daughter.::  Gladwyn:  Go back to sleep.  If you need me, just call.
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Quickly grabs her bag and double checks that it has all of the supplies needed and swiftly chases after Raeyld::
SO Lt Aika Singh says:
CO:  Aye, ma'am.  It should be on your padd now.  ::Taps a button as she speaks.::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Heads for the bathing room, grabbing her uniform on the way and mumbling she knew she should not have taken the draught.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Nods::  SO: Very good Lieutenant.  If you need me I will be in my Ready Room.  ::Turns and heads across the bridge, entering the ready room and walks back over to her desk::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::As quickly as she can, more habit then being awake, she slips from her night shirt to her uniform.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
TL: Bridge.   ::Turns slightly toward Stevens:: MO: How much do you know about our current mission?
Starfleet says:
@COM: Outpost: This is Starfleet Command.  We have received word your outpost was attacked please respond.
Gladwyn says:
::Smiles one of her smiles as she puts the translator back on the table.  Her mother trusted her to keep herself safe... that or she was too tired to call for the babysitter.  She preferred to think it was the trust.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Taps her commbadge::  *OPS Kendal*: Have 8 EVA suits prepared for the away team.
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@CNS: This is not right, the wires the leads are not Starfleet specs. There are new pathways all over, looks like the system has been jerry rigged and patch for the past 2 years. I have no idea what any of this might connect to or do if I just start yanking stuff out.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Swivels his chair around::  CTO:  It's been too long.  We should go meet up with the others.  ::Stands and waves to him to come along, and makes his way out through the airlock, turning on his beacon and bracing himself before opening the outer doors::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Stumbling slightly from the bathing room, she runs fingers through her long hair and begins to braid it as she exits her bedroom, crossing her living area and out the door.::
MO Ens Stevens says:
CMO: Not much. Not much news of any kind makes it into the nebula. I was reviewing some of the information listed in the ship's computer but it seems to only have part of the story.
CNS Lt Foster says:
@::Looks up as he hears a comm come in across the bases main speakers.::
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@::Looks up at nothing in particular as he hears the hail Self: Urmm ...
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Sits down at her desk, picking up the PADD and begins accessing the data Singh has sent on the radiation.::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Looks up as he processes the comm...then his eyes widen::  Self:  ...My word.  They don't know yet.  ::Takes off at a sprint toward the turbolift::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Nods:: MO: Well, some time ago, a woman known as Hannity led a team to steal our shuttlecraft Jarrow, an advanced ship. She left a message indicating a...someone, we know.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Tugging the braid, she briefly considered to cut it, but Theron preferred her hair longer.  With a sigh, she tied off the end just as the lift doors opened to deposit her on the bridge.::
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@::Hops back out of the Pit a second time:: CNS: Should we answer that?
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
MO: We...met with him, and he gave us the information leading us here.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Holding back a yawn, she automatically looks over to science to see Singh.  She nods a greeting, whether the woman sees it or not and makes her way to the ready room.::
MO Ens Stevens says:
CMO: Can we trust him?
CNS Lt Foster says:
@::Looks over at Penn, moving toward the communication station.::  CEO:  Perhaps, ::Pauses at the station.::  Does it seem odd to you that Starfleet would send a message like that?  Shouldn't they know we are investigating?
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Taps the chimes.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Sort of chokes a little:: MO: That is...an interesting question. This is someone who makes it possible to trust someone is telling the truth, without actually trusting them.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Skids to a stop at the turbolift and jabs the call button repeatedly::
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@CNS: That is a perfectly valid point. I mean we're not the Captain, but I will assume she did not send us here without orders ..
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Hears the chime::  Come in.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::As the doors slide open, she pauses:: MO: His name is Avilon Vell, and if you can ever possibly avoid him...do so.

@ACTION:  The Turbo Lift opens.

CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::As the doors open, she slips inside.:: CO:  Captain...  ::Yawns::  Sorry.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
MO: And the same goes for his daughter...the woman we're pursuing. ::Steps out of the lift and head across the bridge::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Jumps inside the turbolift with Kytides and orders operations::
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Follows Raeyld while holding her bag tight::

CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Motions for Senn to take a seat:: CSO: It is all right Commander.  I am sorry if I woke you but I just got word from the away team.

@ACTION:  The lift seems to slowly make its way up the station.  Levels slowly ticking away...

CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Presses the chime at the ready room door::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Taps his foot impatiently, leaning against the frame of the turbolift door::

@ACTION:  The lift doors slowly open on the operations level.

CNS Lt Foster says:
@CEO: Seeing as we got the ship we are using from Starfleet it seems like they know what we are doing.  ::Hands move toward the answer button on the console.::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::That awoke her as nothing else might have.::  CO:  They are safe?  ::She takes a seat::  I did not expect to hear from them for a while.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Hears the second chime::  Come.
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@::Wonders if Foster is going to answer the hail or just stare blankly at the button::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Stumbles into operations and shines his beacon around quickly::  CNS/CEO:  Are you here?  Whatever you do, don't answer.
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@CNS: I defer to your Judgment sir.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Nods::  CSO: They are.  ::Pauses waiting for the others to enter.::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Turns and nods a greeting to the entering doctors.::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
CO:  Well, that is good.
MO Ens Stevens says:  
::Steps in and quickly salutes T’Shara::
CNS Lt Foster says:
@::Stops as he begins to opening hailing frequency, quickly shutting down the comm station before turning to the XO::  XO:  Sir?
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Nods to Raeyld and Stevens::  MO: There is no need to salute Ensign.
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@::turns and blinks as the XO rather unceremoniously enters:: XO: Hello commander .. just in time.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Steps in after Stevens, and nods to T'Shara::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Looks down at the padd she habitually has at hand usually including her tricorder, not even remembering picking it up.  A message awaits::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CMO/MO: Please have a seat.  I was just informing Senn that we have heard from the away team.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Sighs out a deeply held breath and rests his hands on his knees a moment::  CEO/CNS:  We found the survivor.  He said that Starfleet -- or, at least, a reasonable facsimile -- is responsible for what happened here.  We think it likely that whoever did this is associated with those who took the Jarrow.

CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Nods again, and settles onto the edge of the nearest seat, practically more at attention seated than standing, though not uncomfortably so::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Frowns as she reads the report on Thalaron radiation.  Mutters::  Seriously?
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Looks over at Senn::  CSO: Good you have the data Singh found on the radiation we are dealing with.
CNS Lt Foster says:
@::Frowns.::  XO:  So that last comm was from those responsible for what happened here.  ::Motions to the bodies and goo.::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Looks up with a very concerned frown.::  CO:  You said they were alright... right?  I am not sleep hearing things?
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Sits near the Doctor and listens aptly to the Captain::
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@XO: Lucky you found an eye-witness I can't get anything useful out of the computers. By the way we just had a momentary blackout up here. To which the Computer is not even aware of itself. So ... can we just leave now? ::Looks hopeful::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Stands upright, somewhat relieved but still obviously tense::  CNS:  Most likely.  If they know there's anyone left, they'll come to finish the job.  Assuming that our survivor is reliable, and not a plant.  If he is a plant...he did a number on himself to make certain we wouldn't think so.  I think his information is reliable.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@CEO:  Unfortunately...that survivor has also indicated that the replicators and the docking hatches are booby-trapped.  If we try to leave, it won't end well.  ::Shakes his head::  Again, I haven't been able to verify the information first-hand, but it's all we've got to go on.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@CEO/CNS:  Mister Kytides and I did get a message out, though...we'll simply have to stick it out until backup arrives.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Nods to Senn::  CSO: Aye, they are all right.  The radiation levels are very low.  But, the conditions are bad.  No you are not hearing things Commander.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
All:  I just spoke to Commander Damrok.  He reports the entire station is a loss.  There are no signs of the target.  Mass casualties, thalaron radiation.  ::Looks over at Raeyld::  There is one survivor.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
CO:  But captain, only a microscopic amount is incredibly dangerous... it can expand without limit.
CNS Lt Foster says:
@::Sighs in relief that he was slow in answering the comm.::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@CEO/CNS:  I intend to stick together for the duration, but if for some reason we should become separated, he said there was a safe hiding place on level fifteen, cargo hold six.  There's a secret door in the back.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
All: We will move the Claymore in closer to do further scans from the ship of the bodies.  But, I want a medical and science team to head down to the station to do on site scans.  It has been advised to wear EVA suits as well as Damrok wants you to bring suits for the others on the first team.  I have contacted OPS to have them prepared.
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@XO: I don't suppose this fellow elaborated on the traps? And if the replicators are messed up what's he been eating? ::looks around the floor seeing if any of the dead bodies might have bite marks then comes back to himself:: Anyway.. if I could get a look at the docking hatch and clamps .. perhaps I can find a way to bypass ...

CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Shudders at the facts and pictures of a victim, not understanding how the others can be alright.::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@CEO/CNS:  If you see the survivor... ::It only occurs to him now that he didn't get a name::  ...stick to your cover, and no mention of Starfleet.  It'll spook him and he might turn on us.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CO: What is your priority with the survivor? Does he or she require medical treatment?
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CSO: If we are dealing with thalaron radiation the levels are only enough for tricorder scans to pick up.  Otherwise, our away team would be dead at the moment.  But, the EVA suits will be worn as a precaution.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@CEO:  Just to the effect that attempting to use shipboard replicators, or initiating undocking maneuvers resulted in the destruction of the ships in question.  If you want to take a look, we could do that...but I'd like to see if we can pull anything directly from the memory core, first.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
CO:  Captain... there is no known way to clear up that kind of radiation.  I do not understand how anyone can be alive.  Is he sure it is Thalaron radiation?
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@XO: Of course, please lead the way.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CMO: Commander Damrok didn't state that information.  And I am not sure if he is even aware that the away team is Starfleet.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CMO: That would be something to speak to Commander Damrok.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@CEO/CNS:  How did things go here?  ::Looks around operations a moment::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CSO: That is what we need to find out.  We need to find out if it is Thalaron radiation or if it is something new and deadlier than Thalaron.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CO: Are we going in under cover as well? Or will we retain our Starfleet identities?
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CMO: I do not feel there is any need to go undercover given the circumstances.
CNS Lt Foster says:
@XO:  Nothing much to report, nothing in the logs except for how many people were on the station.  Everything else has been wiped.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CO: Anything else we should know or keep in mind before heading over?
CO Capt T’Shara says:
All: Commander Damrok has informed me though that it isn't safe to dock the ship at the station there may be booby traps.  We will have to beam you down.

@ACTION: Operations consoles go offline and the entire power grid drops within operations.

CEO LtJG Penn says:
@XO: Well let’s see if you don't include the, patched worked ODN lines, the random power outages, and bodies, smell, and weird comm signals ... Then I'd say pretty standard.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CMO: Try to keep it brief and if you need to bring anything back aboard make sure it is heavily quarantined.
CNS Lt Foster says:
@::Looks up as the lights and power go out.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Nods, and stands, prepared to be dismissed at any time::

XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Starts to smile a moment...then, as if to quash it, the lights go out, and he frowns immediately::  CNS/CEO:  Has this happened before?
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@XO: Yeppp.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@CEO/CNS:  ...Don't like it.
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@::Waits for it:: XO: I have a feeling it will come back any second ..

@ACTION:  Power returns to operations and the consoles come online one by one.

CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Stands::  All: Get whatever equipment you need and head to transporter room 1.  Make sure to get an EVA suit before you leave.  I do not have to tell you about the persuasions.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
All: Dismissed and be safe.
CNS Lt Foster says:
@XO:  Is there anything to like about this station?
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Turns to the doc::  CMO:  I took a sleeping draught about... ::Glances at the chronometer:: thirty minutes ago.  I could use something to help wake me up.
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@XO: Just for fun watch this ... Computer: Why did the power just fail?
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@CEO:  Seems you are correct.  ::Pauses a moment::  CNS:  Not especially.  Perhaps the computer core will change our minds with a new lead.  ::Tilts his head toward the turbolift and makes his way that direction::

@ACTION:  The consoles begin flashing Starfleet messages and coded data signatures...

CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Nods, but lingers, nodding to Stevens to get ready::
CNS Lt Foster says:
@::Begins following the XO to the lift but pauses as one of the nearby consoles begin to flash.::
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Stands and follows the doctor out::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CSO: I'm sure Doctor Stevens could get you something. ::Looks to Stevens::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CO: Captain, may I have a brief moment?
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Stops short of the lift and turns around, raising an eyebrow just slightly::
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@::Glances at the consoles just before they leave::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Looks at Raeyld and nods::  CMO: Aye, doctor.
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@XO: Still want to head to the core sir?
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Glances at Raeyld and nods before stepping out and fishing through her bag::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Looks at Stevens and nods::  MO:  I will meet you in the transporter room or do you want me to come down to medical?

@SCENE: The console begins to flash coded schematics from Starfleet for a large automated complex on the 3rd planet in this system...

MO Ens Stevens says:
::Flashes Senn a smile:: CSO: Transporter Room will be great
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Waits for the others to leave the room before she turns back to T'Shara:: CO: I've been turning something over in my mind from my encounters with Vell...and connected something I think you should know.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@CEO:  No...record what you see, but don't interact with the consoles themselves.  ::Takes out his tricorder and begins scanning::  This could be important.
CNS Lt Foster says:
@::Moves and watches one of the screens intently.::

@SCENE:  The console switches to encrypted Starfleet messages that were intercepted.

CSO Cmdr Senn says:
MO:  By the way, if you did not pick up on it, I am Commander Senn, ships CSO.
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@::Records what he can on the pathetic thing he has for a tricorder:: ALL: It appears to be a building schematic.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Walks around the desk and looks at Raeyld::  CMO: What is it Raeyld?
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CO: While speaking with Vell about Hannity, as you know, he revealed that she is his daughter. But he also implied that her telepathic strength is potentially comparably to his own. And, Captain, his strength is considerable...
MO Ens Stevens says:
CSO: Ensign Stevens. I'm new. ::Offers to shake hands::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Shakes his hand::  MO:  I will see you in the transporter room then.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CO: Not as strong as the child we encountered before...but he's strong enough to fight...or even control...the wills of some. Even to force them to go take actions against their wills.  This Hannity woman may potentially possess the same ability.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
MO: Oh... and welcome aboard... ::Covers a yawn::
CNS Lt Foster says:
@XO:  Those looked like secure Starfleet communications.
Starfleet says:
@COM: Outpost: This is Starfleet Command.  We are sending a medical vessel to supply aide and engineering support.  Please come in.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Looks apologetically.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CMO: What are you saying Doctor?  Do you think she is responsible for the death on the station somehow?
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Pulls a hypospray out:: CSO: Here, this should help.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Wryly::  MO:  I guess now is as good as there.  ::Turns slightly::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Looks somewhat startled:: CO: No...not that I know of. Or maybe she is...but not in this way.  I mean...there's no known connection between telepathy and radiation. I'm just saying it's something we should be aware of when we do eventually face Hannity.
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Gives Senn a quick shot with the hypospray and smiles:: CSO: There. That should kick in by the time we get there.
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@XO: They do seem persistent.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
MO:  Thanks... I hope so.  See you shortly.  :: Makes her way over to science to briefly talk with Aika::
SO Lt Aika Singh says:
::Nods her head::  CSO:  Sure, commander.

@ACTION:  The entire operations level goes black for a third time.

CSO Cmdr Senn says:
SO: Thanks...
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@CNS:  They did.  ::Shakes his head, then braces himself again as the lights go out once more:
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CMO: I am sorry Doctor.  ::pauses, walking over to the windows for a moment and looks back:: I do not mean she is somehow responsible for the radiation.  I thought you meant that she could be somehow linked to the station considering what we have seen she is capable aboard the Claymore.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Heads for the lift, doing a mental check of what she needs to take with her.  Orders the lift to her office.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CMO: I will keep it in mind Doctor.  Thank you.
CNS Lt Foster says:
@::Keeps expecting to pop out of the dark when the lights go out he looks around in the darkness waiting for the lights to come back.::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::As the lift drops her off, she makes her way down the hall, into main science and over to her officer.  There she grabs her away team bag and tosses in the padd and tricorder.  A quick check and she closes it.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CO: I understand. I wish I'd made the connection sooner...It only just "clicked" during my recent bout of research and reflection.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CO: Yes, Captain.  ::Smiles a little, and nods, before turning for the door::

@ACTION:  Once more the operations level begins to spring to life.  Consoles begin displaying sensor data of a large vessel.

MO Ens Stevens says:
::Climbs in an empty lift and orders it for the transporter room, waiting till alone to lower her guard and breathe deeply before composing herself again and exiting::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Not sure whether to be nervous or concerned, she steps back onto the lift and orders it to the transporter room.::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Shines his beacon around slowly, not really knowing what to expect, but surmises that the system is perhaps being interrupted by exterior influences each time the power flickers off:
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CMO: But, you made the connection now and that will help.  ::Smiles slightly::  Be safe Doctor.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Shakes his head as the lights are once again restored::  CEO/CNS:  What's that?  ::Narrows his eyes at the screen::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Either way, she is anxious to get her crew, but especially Theron, off that station... and hoping they are very wrong about the radiation... which they have to be given the current circumstance.::

CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Her slightly rushed strides take her to the transporter doors which slide open upon her approach.  She steps in and makes her way over to the waiting operations officer holding out an EVA suit for her.::

@ACTION:  Then the data changes to incoming weapons fire from the vessel.  Five to ten large torpedoes.   The screen changes again showing another large vessel Massive in design yet familiar in shape.

CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::With assistance, she is quickly enclosed in it.  Patiently she waits as they go step through step on the suit making sure it is secure.::
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@XO: I do not know, but I am starting to like your original plan more and more. Not that I relish the idea of traveling deeper into this station but it may be that at this point our only answers will be in the core.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Offers to take one of the cumbersome suit for Theron.::
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@ALL: The data streams may be a trick to keep us here. ::Seeing incoming fire as if instinct took over he braces himself on a nearby rail::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Nods:: CO: Will do.  ::Heads out the door and across the bridge::

@ACTION: The operations consoles explode in a minor shower of sparks and small flickers of flame as the systems overload.

CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Slipping her bag over her shoulder, she moves to sit on the transporter padd to await the others.::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@CEO:  Entirely possi--  ::Cringes a bit, defensively, as the consoles violently give up the ghost::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Follows the doctor out the door and onto the bridge::  FCO: Move us in 1000 meters from the outpost do not dock us.
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Steps into a containment suit and seals it up::

ACTION:  The Claymore moves out from the nebula in a stream of powdery debris.  Once cleared it jumps to warp for only a moment before dropping alongside the outpost.

CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Watching::  MO:  Have you done much practice in wearing one of those?
SO Lt Aika Singh says:
::Shifts from passive scans to active scans::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Takes her seat at the center of the bridge::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Turns immediately and taps the call button for the turbolift again::  CEO/CNS:  I don't think we should stay here to find out what's going on, in any event.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Takes the turbolift to the transporter room, strides quickly down the corridor, and enters the transporter room::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Taps her commbadge:: *CMO/CSO*: We have arrived at the outpost.  We are ready to beam you over when you are.
CNS Lt Foster says:
@XO:  I like that idea.  ::Quickly moves to the turbolift.::

SO Lt Aika Singh says:
CO: Reading only five life signs.
MO Ens Stevens says:
CSO: No, I haven't. Body Armor, I can handle. But these...these are new to me
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
*CO*: We are almost ready.  ::Nods to the doc::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Glances over at Singh::  SO: Aye, Lieutenant.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Drops her bad, steps into the suit, then pulls the suit on, suiting up in record time, except for the helmet, she takes in one hand, and her bag, in the other. Looks to Senn and Stevens::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
*CSO*: Understood Commander.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
MO: They are my least favorite outfit, I will freely admit.  But... they will usually keep us safe.  Just keep in mind, don't rush things.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
COM: XO: Commander this is Captain T'Shara.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Motions her arm full of a suit::  CMO:  We are ready when you are.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Waves everyone else into the turbolift::
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@XO: So we headed to the core or back to the Claymore? ::crosses his fingers at his side making no attempt to hide the action behind his back::
CNS Lt Foster says:
@::Quickly steps into the lift.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Pulls her helmet on:: CSO/MO: Everyone suited up?
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Stands up to climb onto a padd::
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@::Frowns and enters the turbolift looking dejected::
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Nods and steps onto a pad while locking her helmet into place::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Steps onto the pad beside Senn and Stevens:: CSO: Ready when you are.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Enters the lift with the others, then fidgets with his earpiece::  COM: CO:  Reading.  Go ahead.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Nods to the transporter chief.::

ACTION:  Commander Senn, Doctor Raeyld and Ensign Stevens dematerialize off the transporter pad and off the Claymore.  They materialize on the outpost on one of the merchant decks.  Bodies in several states of decomposition appear around them.  Body after body lay silently on the deck around the away team.

CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::Quietly:: By the prophets...
CO Capt T’Shara says:
COM: XO: We are in position alongside the outpost Commander.  Commander Senn, Doctor Raeyld and Ensign Stevens are beaming down now.
MO Ens Stevens says:
@CSO/CMO: Pleasant.

@ACTION:  And even more bodies are just around the corner....

CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@*XO*:  Commander, we are aboard.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@COM: CO:  Roger that.  We're on our way to the computer core.  ::Taps the button on the turbolift to make it go::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::Her eyes shift from one body to another.  All she can do is shake her head... it is unimaginable, and yet there before them.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
COM: XO: Understood Commander.
