Last time on the Scimitar: The Captain managed to get himself into sickbay and into surgery - Doctor Lee found something in his brain that doesn't belong there. The CTO and MCPO seem to have perfected their decontamination protocols and soon the away team will be on board the ship.

The miners need to be treated for the mite bites and subsequent mental regression, and the FCO needs to devise the plan to distribute it through the air vents throughout the facility.

CIV_MCPO_Griffiths says:
::steps onto the bridge with his PADD in hand, glancing around for sight of the XO::

ACTION: Discreet medical alarms sound as the Captain's vitals suddenly plummet, making the medical team scramble to keep him alive.

Host XO_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::in his chair on the bridge::

Host MO_Dean_Conway says:
CMO: Go! ::sees Lee's stricken look::

Host MO_Dean_Conway says:
CMO: I'll give the report to the Commander. ::exits Sickbay as Lee runs to surgery::

FCO_Lt_Sumner says:
@::hums quietly to herself, glancing over to Reis::

CIV_MCPO_Griffiths says:
::steps down to the command circle:: XO: Sir. I've got the report on Ensign Feyna and my decontamination protocols.

TO_Ens_Reis says:
@::looks over:: FCO: Beethoven?

CIV_MCPO_Griffiths says:
::offers over the PADD:: XO: Ensign Feyna is still in the lab going over the protocols, I believe she wants to be... extra thorough.

FCO_Lt_Sumner says:
@::smiles:: TO: Social Distortion.

TO_Ens_Reis says:
@FCO: Don't believe I've heard of them. ::pockets his tricorder:: This area is secure.

Host XO_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::accepts the padd:: CIV: Give me the short version please.

FCO_Lt_Sumner says:
@TO: You're missing out; I'll send you some files, once things are slightly less crazy. ::she grins and taps her combadge:: *XO*: Sumner to Scimitar. How soon can we expect the antidote?

CIV_MCPO_Griffiths says:
::nods, smiling slightly:: XO: Our tests confirmed that the quarantine protocols we devised worked, removing 100% of the mites that could be found on hair, clothing, skin, etc. People are beamed up clean.

CIV_MCPO_Griffiths says:
XO: I've also had the hangar start beaming the Kaneda that were in the atmosphere through the same buffer, just in case any mites were airborne.

Host MO_Dean_Conway says:
TL: Bridge.

TO_Ens_Reis says:
@FCO: Yes ma'am. I'm sure I'll love them. ::clears his throat, having heard about the Lieutenant's music taste::

FCO_Lt_Sumner says:
@::gives Reis a bit of a look::

Host XO_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CIV: That's great news. So are you confident we can beam up the rest of the away team?

CIV_MCPO_Griffiths says:
XO: One hundred percent, Sir. I would still recommend beaming them into the Quarantine in Sickbay, just in case the disease or virus or whatever it is affecting the miners is contagious in another form. But we can bring them onboard at anytime.

Host MO_Dean_Conway says:
::steps out onto the Bridge and makes his way for the command circle::

Host XO_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::nods:: CIV: That's great work. Thank you. ::looks to the MO approaching, and gestures to the Ready Room::

FCO_Lt_Sumner says:
@::figures the Bridge is busy and hopes the Captain is alright:: TO: You don't play drums by chance, do you?

CIV_MCPO_Griffiths says:
::smiles, nodding again:: XO: Yes Sir. I'll keep you updated.

TO_Ens_Reis says:
@::scratches his arm absentmindedly::

TO_Ens_Reis says:
@FCO: Er. No... not normally. I'm sure I could learn to, ma'am.

Host MO_Dean_Conway says:
::follows the XO::

Host XO_Cmdr_Idrani says:
*FCO*: Scimitar here. Medical is currently preparing the antidote. Half hour longer. The good news is that Griff and Feyna have devised a successful way to beam you all back up without the mites. We're ready to get you all back as soon as you give the word.

FCO_Lt_Sumner says:
@TO: I'm thinking of starting a- ::stops as the comm comes thought:: *XO*: Good news, Thalev. Erm... how is the Captain doing?

CIV_MCPO_Griffiths says:
::takes up the auxiliary chair with a bit of reluctance as the XO leaves the bridge, hoping that the Andorian won't be long::

Host XO_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::enters the ready room and lets the doors shut behind them:: MO: How is he?

Host MO_Dean_Conway says:
::stands at attention before the XO, as he finishes his comm with the away team::

Host XO_Cmdr_Idrani says:
*FCO*: I am about to find out, Sara. I'll update you later. Idrani out. ::gestures to the MO to talk::

Host MO_Dean_Conway says:
XO: In surgery, he had to be stabilized...we should know more when Doctor Lee gives her report of what's afflicting him.

CIV_MCPO_Griffiths says:
::looks around for a moment, then calls up his report screen on the armpad:: OPS: Ensign, how long until the medical ship arrives?

Host XO_Cmdr_Idrani says:
MO: Surgery for what, Conway?

aOPS says:
CIV: They should be arriving in approximately eight hours, sir.

FCO_Lt_Sumner says:
@::frowns some:: TO: So... feeling alright? No adverse effects?

Host MO_Dean_Conway says:
XO: Sir... I believe there's a foreign object pressing on his prefrontal cortex... we haven't been able to 'see it' per se, but he is showing signs of mental distress and just before I arrived his vitals dropped, could be bleeding.

CIV_MCPO_Griffiths says:
::nods, thanking the man before opening a comm with the planet:: *FCO*: Scimitar to Sumner. I've got a transporter chief standing by for you and your team, what's your ETA?

TO_Ens_Reis says:
@::clears his throat:: FCO: I think so... I. ::scratches his arm:: I think I might have been bitten... or not. You know how you hear about mites, and suddenly you itch everywhere?

Host XO_Cmdr_Idrani says:
MO: Foreign object? Like he's been sticking pencils up his nose? ::pauses:: How long is he going to be out?

Host MO_Dean_Conway says:
::shifts uncomfortably:: XO: I can't say. Doctor Lee is in surgery right now, and that should give us a clue as to what it is.

FCO_Lt_Sumner says:
@TO: Oh, I'm sure we've all been bitten by now. Just have to keep our sanity long enough to implement the antidote. Away missions sure are exciting... ::trails off and sighs::

Host XO_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::nods somberly:: MO: Any change on his status, I want to know.

TO_Ens_Reis says:
@::scratches the back of his head nervously:: FCO: Yes ma'am. Very exciting.

Host MO_Dean_Conway says:
XO: Of course sir. I will keep you up to date as we learn more. But Doctor Lee asked me to inform you that she has removed Captain Rome from active duty indefinitely. You are now in Command. ::hands him a PADD::

FCO_Lt_Sumner says:
@::after an odd delay in comms...:: *CIV*: It's gonna be a while yet; maybe 20 minutes? We need to get that antidote dispersed before we can go.

Host XO_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::takes the padd, wondering how many they have on board:: MO: I figured as much. ::pauses:: Very well, dismissed. Please see that the away team gets that antidote as soon as possible.

CIV_MCPO_Griffiths says:
::nods again, marking it all down in the duty log as he goes:: *FCO*: Understood, thanks Lieutenant. We'll still be here - Good luck, Scimitar out.

Host MO_Dean_Conway says:
XO: Aye sir. I believe the teams are finalizing the antidote for shipment now.

Host XO_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::nods and heads out the ready room with Conway::

FCO_Lt_Sumner says:
@TO: So, Reis... what do you do for fun?

TO_Ens_Reis says:
@::scratches his back:: FCO: I, uh. I like to read. Poetry mostly. Late 18th century. I also do clay..::grunts and starts rubbing his back against a console::

Host MO_Dean_Conway says:
::moves to the secondary Science console::

CIV_MCPO_Griffiths says:
::stands up out of the chair, giving the XO a nod and delivering his report for the short while the Andorian was gone:: XO: Sir. Medical support will arrive in 8 hours, and Lieutenant Sumner will be ready to beam up in approximately 20 minutes. I have a transporter room on standby. Nothing else to report.

FCO_Lt_Sumner says:
@TO: Is that Keats, or is Keats 19th century?

Host MO_Dean_Conway says:
XO: Medical reports the shipment will be ready in 12 minutes.

Host XO_Cmdr_Idrani says:
MO: Understood. ::sits in his chair, feeling restless::

TO_Ens_Reis says:
@FCO: Keats, Lord Byron. I could lend you some books.

FCO_Lt_Sumner says:
@TO: I'd like that. Do you do pottery or are you more of a sculptor with clay?

TO_Ens_Reis says:
@::grunts with delight as he manages to sooth an itch:: FCO: I follow the teaching of T'ass of Vulcan. The sculpting is a meditative technique.

CIV_MCPO_Griffiths says:
::takes up a position at the Tactical console, bringing up the TIC overlay::

FCO_Lt_Sumner says:
@::nods:: TO: Interesting. I took a few ceramics classes when I was younger; there is an oddly therapeutic quality to it.

TO_Ens_Reis says:
@::nods appreciatively:: FCO: Not many officers get that.

ACTION: The medical team reports the antidote ready for transport.

Host XO_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CIV: Understood.

Host MO_Dean_Conway says:
XO: We are ready to transport the antidote, Captain.

CIV_MCPO_Griffiths says:
::runs short range scans and stuff::

Host XO_Cmdr_Idrani says:
MO: Proceed with transport. *FCO*: Scimitar to away party, your antidote is ready and on its way.

Host MO_Dean_Conway says:
::nods:: XO: Aye. Sending the coordinates to OPS.

FCO_Lt_Sumner says:
@*XO*: Good news. Give my compliments to the bio lab.

TO_Ens_Reis says:
@::starts scratching his chin::

aOPS says:
MO: Received the coordinates, sir. Initiating transport now.

ACTION: On the surface, a tidy stack of crates full of canisters appears in the dining hall.

TO_Ens_Reis says:
@FCO: The shipment is here.

Host XO_Cmdr_Idrani says:
*FCO*: Will do. Do what you have to, and get back here as soon as you can.

ACTION: The TO's face starts to get a distinctly mottled look.

FCO_Lt_Sumner says:
@TO: Alright, let's get these to Saprin; she'll know how best to implement this. ::she moves and picks up one of the crates, motioning for Reis to follow::

TO_Ens_Reis says:
@::follows and picks up two crates with his brawny arms::

CIV_MCPO_Griffiths says:
::turns slightly, glancing down at the command circle:: XO: Sir, I'd recommend releasing the gas onboard the Scimitar as well, just to cover all of our bases.

Host XO_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CIV: As you suggest. Proceed.

FCO_Lt_Sumner says:
@::sets the crate down as they arrive at environmental control, and starts working with Saprin and the others in getting it dispersed through the vents::

Host MO_Dean_Conway says:
CIV: A wise precaution... however I suggest we wait until after we recover the away team...to cover all of our bases as you say.

CIV_MCPO_Griffiths says:
::transports a few canisters into the environmental control systems, issuing the order to Sickbay to have the antigen released onboard the Scimitar once the Away Team is onboard:: 

Host XO_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::raises a hand:: CIV: This is why the Captain usually runs things... hold on the antigen until the away team have returned.

CIV_MCPO_Griffiths says:
XO: Already done, sir. They're loading the canisters and Sickbay can release on command.

Host XO_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CIV: Let's hope the away team aren't much longer.

CIV_MCPO_Griffiths says:
::smiles slightly and nods:: XO: Got my fingers crossed, Commander.

FCO_Lt_Sumner says:
@::grins as the vents kick in, the antidote starting to disperse::

TO_Ens_Reis says:
@::walks past a mirror and screams:: FCO: My face!

FCO_Lt_Sumner says:
@::looks over:: TO: What about it? ::moves towards him, looking concerned::

TO_Ens_Reis says:
@::turns around to reveal a bright red rash::

Host XO_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::resists the urge to call Doctor Lee for an update::

ACTION: The antidote starts circulating through the facility.

FCO_Lt_Sumner says:
@::frowns:: TO: Alright, stay calm, Reis. Probably just a mild allergic reaction. ::taps he combadge:: *XO*: Sumner here; we're ready for a beam up; Ensign Reis seems to be having an allergic reaction to the antidote. Please alert sickbay.

CIV_MCPO_Griffiths says:
::monitors it from orbit::

TO_Ens_Reis says:
@::scratches:: FCO: Staying calm, ma'am.

Host XO_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::gestures to Conway:: MO: Get on it, full quarantine conditions. OPS: Beam them up. *FCO*: Stand by for transport.

Host MO_Dean_Conway says:
OPS: Beam him to a sterile environment in Sickbay.

aOPS says:
MO: Aye, sir. ::initiates transport into an isolation room in Sickbay::

FCO_Lt_Sumner says:
@::runs some scans of Reis while they wait::

ACTION: The transporters hum as they take hold of the TO and FCO, depositing them into the isolation room.

TO_Ens_Reis says:
::appears alone in a closed off sterile room:: Self: Great.

Host XO_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CIV: Was the beam up successful? No mites?

CIV_MCPO_Griffiths says:
::runs his scans, checking the transporter buffer logs:: XO: Confirmed, no bugs.

Host XO_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CIV: Good work.

Host XO_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::checks the chronometer and suppresses a gut feeling that something major is about to happen::

FCO_Lt_Sumner says:
@::breathes a sigh of relief to be back on the ship, but knows her work isn't done yet. *XO*: Thalev, I'd like to get in an EVA suit and return to the planet to make sure the antidote works, and to let the miners know the plan.
