USS Seleya 10501.16

"Melotian Madness" - Part 2

SUMMARY: The crew of the Seleya is almost at the Melotian system, where they will meet up with the mysterious Julienne, who apparently has information about the supposed death of Captain Lyon more than a year ago.  Who is she, and why would she want to help the crew get to the bottom of all this so long after the fact? What is her interest in all of this? Who knows?

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
::In his office going through a mass of paperwork::

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
::Taps consoles. Notices slight fluctuation in power distribution to the warp core. Reduces total output.::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::On the bridge standing behind the FCO, watching the viewscreen::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Checks the Seleyas course and progress from the helm::  CO:  We'll enter the system in aproximatly 20 minutes sir.

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
::Thinks about how happy he is. Only on his second day of active duty. Already having the best time of his life.::

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
FCO: Acknowledged.

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
Ops: Yellow alert.

CNS_Modalis says:
::Sat in her chair::

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
CO: Aye Captain ::changes status to yellow alert::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Turns and looks at the CO for a second, then turns back to the helm::

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
XO: Any clue what's in the system?

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
FCO: Yes, Lieutenant?

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
::Stretches slightly::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
CO:  Expecting trouble sir?

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::Looks at the CO:: CO: Do you mean system traffic-wise sir?

MO_Ens_Morricone says:
::Taking a look in the papers to figure out who is the next person on the list::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Preps a few evasive and offensive manuvers and places them in the buffer, just in case::

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
::sneezes::

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
::Sneezes again::

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
FCO: Be prepared for anything, Lieutenant.

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
XO: Indeed

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
CO:  Always Captain.

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
::Sneezes::

MO_Ens_Morricone says:
*CNS*: Hello, how are you today?, busy?

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
::Leaves his office and walks over to Ensign Morricone::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::Nods to the CO:: CO: I'll have a look ::moves to tactical and scans the system traffic with the tactical sensers::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Pays extra attention to system traffic, looking for anything that could be a threat::

CNS_Modalis says:
*MO* Yes, Ensign.  I'm required on the bridge to await the meeting of our contact.

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
Ops: How many planets in the system?

MO_Ens_Morricone says:
CMO: Hello, sir.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::Reads the data coming back to him:: CO: Just a few small freighters, nothing that warrents caution...yet.

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
MO: Afternoon.

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
XO: All Federation?

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
CO: Checking....

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
::Checks consoles:: CO: 7 in total sir.

CNS_Modalis says:
::Watches Holax in bemusement::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
CO: Negitive, some federation, the rest are a mix of different races.

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
FCO: Take us into orbit of the main planet.

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
::Notices the Counsellor:: CNS: Penny for your thoughts?

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
XO: Anything interesting?

MO_Ens_Morricone says:
*CNS*: I believe it's time for a routine physical test, are you ready?

CNS_Modalis says:
OPS: No, nothing.  I've just not seen anyone sneeze so many times in one go before.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
CO:  Aye sir.  ::Drops from warp and engages Impulse drive, setting a course to take them into standard orbit::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
CO: Nothing, freighters are just going about their business, there's no comm traffic between them.

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
::Sniffles:: CNS: I know, I don't know what's up.

Host SM-Lyon says:
ACTION: The Seleya is nearing the Melotia system's fourth planet, having dropped from warp moments before.

CNS_Modalis says:
::Turns to Muir:: CO: Captain, I've been asked down for a "routine medical".

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
::Watches Morricone::

MO_Ens_Morricone says:
CMO: I'm taking down the CNS, I think she needs a go.

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
CNS: Medicals should be scheduled in off duty times with the permission of the executive officer.

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
MO: Might be best to reschedule that...

CNS_Modalis says:
CNS: I thought so, sir.  I just wanted your backing before I put Ensign Morricone in his place.

CNS_Modalis says:
*MO* I need to remain on the bridge for now, Ensign.  Captain's orders.

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
CNS: So unfortunatly, permission denied. And you can tell the Doctor that routine physicals should be planned in advance and aren't there to serve as entertainment when he's bored.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::Hears the CO but doesn't raise his head from the console:: CO: You know there's no chance i'm giving permission at this time.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Can't help but smirk a little bit at the Captains comments::

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
XO: Indeed, and that's the way it should be.

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
::Sneezes so loudly everyone jumps::

CNS_Modalis says:
CO/XO: Thank you, sirs.  Believe me, you're doing me  the favour.

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
FCO: ETA?

MO_Ens_Morricone says:
*CNS*: Got it, just don't forget about it. I will remember you.

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
:: Nods and smiles at Modalis ::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
CO:  Maybe we could use one of the Doctors on the bridge for a moment sir.  ::looks at OPS::

CNS_Modalis says:
*MO* And I will remember you, Ensign.

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
FCO: Indeed.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
CO:  ETA 1 minutes 12 seconds sir.

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
Ops: Are you able to continue or would you like to be relieved to the Doctor?

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
::Sniffles:: CO: I.. I'll be fide Thackoo. Jutht a sneethe.

Host SM-Lyon says:
ACTION: The planet looks large in the viewscreen as the ship nears orbiting distance.

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
MO: Don't let them crush your spirits. ::Mumbles something about the CNS and PMS::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Eases the Seleya into standard orbit::

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
Ops: Indeed. :: Looks sceptical ::

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
:: Gets up out of his chair and looks around the bridge ::

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
Ops: Ensign, open file Muir Yonla Alpha and transmit it to the following coordinates on the planet.

MO_Ens_Morricone says:
::Looking sad, puts on "Creeping death", turns up the volume::

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
Ops: The required frequency is in the file itself.

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
CO: Aye Cap'n. ::transmits::

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
CO: Data stream complete.

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
Ops: Excellent.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Half turns his chair to watch the goings on on the bridge, checking his scopes every now and then to keep an eye on system traffic::

Host SM-Lyon says:
ACTION: As the message speeds towards the planet, there is a pregnant silence on the bridge, the normal sounds seeminly over loud. A strident note sounds as the OPS consol beeps loudly, signaling an encrypted incoming communication.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Turns to the main viewer::

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
CO:  Incoming transmission sir. It's encypted. Shall I forward it to your ready room sir?

MO_Ens_Morricone says:
::Turning down the volume::

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
::Gets a cup of coffee and decides to go back to his files in a minute:: MO: Sickbay isn't all fun and games, we have an inventory to maintain, ordering new equipment etc.
Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
Ops: No. Onscreen.

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
CO: Aye Cap'n. ::Compensates for encyption keys. Puts onscreen.::

Host Julienne says:
ACTION: There is a garbled image on the screen for a moment, then it clears and a plain looking blonde woman appears. Seeing who she is expecting, she smiles, suddenly making her look much prettier than initially thought.

Host Julienne says:
@COM: CO: Captain Muir, I presume?

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
::Watches viewscreen intently::

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
COM: Julienne: A fairly safe bet, Julienne.

MO_Ens_Morricone says:
CMO:  I see.   Should I do an inventory? I think we're short on scalpels, sir?

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::Watches the viewscreen and moves over to the counselor's side::

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
MO: We can never have too many scalpels!

Host Julienne says:
@::Looks at the rest of the crew, nodding to herself for a moment:: COM: CO: I would like to come on board with your permission, Captain. Even encrypted messages can be intercepted.

MO_Ens_Morricone says:
::Starts counting the scalpels::

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
COM: Julienne: Understood. When shall we beam you up?

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
MO: We should get a dartboard in here for some target practice or something, scalpels are useful little things.

Host Julienne says:
@COM: CO: As soon as you get your senior staff together. I'll be at these co-ordinates. ::presses a button and the information blossoms on the OPS console::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Turns to the CO::  CO:  Sir if we comply, I recommend a full decontamination sequence before allowing her access to the ship.  Considering whats happened in the past as well as the myriad possibilities of who were dealing with...

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
COM: Julienne: Understood. Stand by. Muir out.

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
::Forwards co-ordinates to Tranporter room 2::

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
FCO: Decontamination in what way?

MO_Ens_Morricone says:
CMO: I've never thought of that before, I'm quite good in dart.

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
::Sniffles::

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
MO: Ah good, just don't let the patients see we throw scalpels around the place...

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
CO:  Full chemical, mechanical and biological contaminant fail-safes sir.  Just to be on the safe side.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::Waits the the viewscreen to change then leans down slightly:: CNS: Did you sense anything from her we should know?

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
<sense>

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
FCO: The transporter should take care of that.

CNS_Modalis says:
CO: Lieutenant Aan does have a point, sir.  The last time we were here, we were duped.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
CO:  Understood sir.

CNS_Modalis says:
XO: She is hiding something.  But she genuinely wants to help us, sir.

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
CNS: The transporter's systems should identify such things.

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
::Sneezes a small, surpresses sneeze::

CNS_Modalis says:
::Nods, knowing she's been put back in her place::  CO: Sir.

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
*ALL* Senior Staff to the bridge.

MO_Ens_Morricone says:
::Done counting, start to laugh:: CMO: Mohaha!... sir, we have a shortage of nanotech scalpels, what to do?

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
XO: We'll have th meeting here, I don't feel like transfering everyone over to the observation lounge.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::Nods:: CNS: Keep me informed should you sense anything else.

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
::Notes the incoming com:: MO: Replicate some, I'll be on the bridge if you need me.

CNS_Modalis says:
XO: Sir.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::Stands up straight:: CO: Understood sir.

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
XO, CNS: Report to transporter room 2 and escort out guest to the bridge.

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
::Leaves sickbay and heads for a turbolift::

MO_Ens_Morricone says:
*CMO*: I'll do that.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::Nods:: CO: Aye sir. ::moves to the tl and waits for the CNS::

Host Julienne says:
@::checks the room one last time for anything left behind::

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
TL:  Bridge.

CNS_Modalis says:
::Gets up out of her seat and follows Darklighter into the Turbolift::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
TL: Transporter room 2.

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
::Thinks how packed the bridge is going to be::

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
::Steps off the Turbolift and enters the bridge, touching his tricorder on the way in::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Waves the doctor over::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::Steps off the tl and walks to transporter room 2::

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
::Nods at Aan and walks towards him:: FCO: Hi.

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
::Sniffles loudly::

CNS_Modalis says:
::Follows Darklighter into the Transporter room::

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
::Spins around and looks at ensign Holax::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Nods::  CMO:  While your here, you might want to give the OPS a quick look in the corner, before our guest gets here.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::Nods to the chief:: TR Chief: When your ready chief.

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
::Covers face and sneezes a very sloppy sneeze::

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
FCO: Agreed, I'll do my best. Didn't really bring anything with me. ::Walks over to Holax::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
CMO:  I'm sure its something that can be replicated.  ::Stands and walks over to the CO::

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
CMO: D... Do you hab a tissoo?

Host Julienne says:
ACTION: The transporter takes hold of Julienne just as she shatches up a bag, and she appears in a lovely swirl of blue sparkles moments later.

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
OPS: Sure. ::hands Holax a tissue and nods at Aan::

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
:: Taps something on his padd ::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
CO:   Any idea whats she's bringing to the table sir?

CNS_Modalis says:
::Glances at Darklighter::

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
::Blows nose loudly.::

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
FCO: None. What's happened so far is the extent of my knowledge.

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
::Gets his tricorder out and starts to scan him::

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
::Stratches ridges on nose::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::Looks at the CNS in the corner of his eye and then looks at Julienne:: Julienne: I'm commander Darklighter and this is Counselor Modalis, welcome to the Seleya.

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
OPS: Been around anything lately that might trigger an allergic reaction?

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Nods::  CO:  So, this is were we pick up the scent.  Its been a long time coming.

Host Julienne says:
::Steps down from the transporter pad:: XO/CNS: Thank you. Julienne Kurlaine.

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
::Scratches forehead::

CNS_Modalis says:
::Nods at Julienne::

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
::Feels a bit itchy::

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
FCO: We can only hope. Who can be sure anymore? With our luck she'll turn out to be Richard Bolitho in disguise..

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::Changes his stance:: Julienne: If you'll follow me Miss Kurlaine, the captain is awaiting for you on the bridge.

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
::Sneezes:: CMO: Errbb. I dote dow doc.

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
OPS: How are you feeling? Apart from the sneezing I mean.

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
ALL: Why don't you take a seat at the closest console.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Narrows his eyes::  CO:  We can hope.  I'd still like a crack at him again.  Maybe this time we can keep him incarcerated for more than an hour.

Host Julienne says:
::Smiles pleasantly, nods at Roalla and precedes the two officers out of the transporter room.::

MO_Ens_Morricone says:
::Beging to test the quarantine seal system, doing a slight justification and close the program::

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
ALL: When our guest arrives I want you to cut the chatter. If you have questions wait until I or Commander Darklighter ask for them.

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
CMO: Vewwy itchy awoud by widges.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::Steps into the TL and waits for their guest and the CNS::

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
:: Nods at the FCO :: Unlikely...

CNS_Modalis says:
::Allows Julienne into the Turbolift and follows her in::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Nods at the CO: CO:  Aye sir.  ::Turns and heads over to the helm, gives the doctor a "Wrap it up quick" look::

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
OPS: I see, sure you haven't had any strawberries lately?

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
TL: Bridge.

Host Julienne says:
::Stands between the two officers as the TL streaks to the top of the ship::

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
::Looks at the FCO and gets some Alzine out of the medkit on his belt::

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
:: Thinks of how impressed he is at A'an's ability to fit so well in in his new role of Second Officer - he definetly made the right choice ::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::As the tl doors open he holds out his arm for Julienne to step out first:: Julienne: After you.

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
CMO: Dope, but dere was sumwad in the besshall wid sub dis mornig.

CNS_Modalis says:
::Touches Darkligher's arm lightly as Julienne leaves the Turbolift::

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
OPS: I'll just give you an injection, come and see me or Ensign Morricone once you're off duty. ::Injects him with 5mg of ALzine::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Turns in his chair to face the newcomer and stands at ease::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::Looks at Modalis::

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
::Looks at Julienne::

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
:: Looks Julienne up and down, with a blank expression ::

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
::Feels slight relief. Whispers:: CMO: Thaks doc.

CNS_Modalis says:
::Whispers::  XO: Sir, she's worried that she's been followed.  Maybe we should post security units in the Transporter rooms::

Host Julienne says:
ACTION: The TL reaches its destination, and the doors slide open to reveal Julienne, flanked by the two officers.

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
OPS: Might be best not to talk too much...

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
Julienne: Welcome to the Seleya. This is my senior staff... :: gestures :: I'm sure we all won't mind sparing the pleasantries until later.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::Doesn't answer Modalis but gives her a reassuring look and drifts off slightly in the direction of tac::

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
Julienne: Let's get down to business.

CNS_Modalis says:
::Continues whispering::  XO: And on the bridge.  We might not be able to see who's following her.

CNS_Modalis says:
::Stands back slightly behind one of the science consoles::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Sees but doesn't hear the discussion between the XO and CNS::

Host Julienne says:
::Smiles:: CO: Of course, Captain. ::walks down to the front between the OPS & helm consoles.::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Crosses his arms and waits for their visitor to begin::

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
::Looks up groggily at the beautiful guest::

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
::Smiles::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::Gives the CNS a grim look and quickly but in a sutle manor he sends a text message from tac1 to security and he slips his hand under the console and gets himself a phaser quickly consealing it::

CNS_Modalis says:
::Nods at Darklighter, knowing what he has done::

Host Julienne says:
All: I am sure you all know the sequence of events when Captain Lyon was supposedly murdered on Iota Aurigae.

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
:: Takes his seat in the Captains chair,  and nods at Julienne to begin ::

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
::Looks at the speaker::

Host Julienne says:
::Unconsciously starts pacing in front of the viewscreen:: All: That man was my husband. He was sent in as a double, since SFC didn't want it know that at the time, Captain Lyon was the captive of a madman with a vendetta against the Cherokee.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Listens stone faced::

Host Julienne says:
::Stops and looks at the crew:: All: I contacted Captain Lyon and asked his assistance in finding my husband's killer, and he agreed. We've spent a year gathering intelligence on this, and the person who had done it has been identified.

CNS_Modalis says:
::Glances at Darklighter::

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
::Raises an eyebrow::

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
::Looks on unsure::

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
Julienne: You'll forgive me for breaking in here, but just why is a Sovereign-class starship needed to bring in an identified criminal?

Host Julienne says:
CO: Because, Captain. You are involved in it and Captain Lyon felt he could trust you without having to explain everything. Surely you want to get to the bottom of this? And who knows, we might just NEED a Sovereign class starship.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::Looks over at Modalis::

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
Julienne: It all seems a little bit of overkill, a starship this size to bring in one man. But continue, I'm anxious to learn if our presence here is anything more than large prison vessel with complementary police force.

Host Julienne says:
CO: We may have identified the person... but finding her could be a totally different story. After the incident, she disappeared. She had ties to various underground movements, and one of them is probably harboring her. Her trail ran cold on Starbase 324.

Host Julienne says:
CO: Three weeks ago.

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
Julienne: What makes you so sure she is still alive? Someone with this many enemies could well have been taken to task already...

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::A woman?  A woman grappled, stabbed and threw the doppleganger through the skylight?::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Slowly makes his way around the bridge to the XO::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Continues to listen::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::Looks at Aan approaching::

Host Julienne says:
CO: If that is the case, then we need to find out if it happened. ::sighs:: I am sure you have a lot of questions. Could I suggest we make way to the starbase?

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
Julienne: By all means.

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
FCO: Lieutenant A'an, set a course for Starbase 324, maximum warp.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Leans over the the XO::  ::Whisper::  XO:  Three weeks is a long time for a trail to go cold.   What exactly are we supposed to find after that much time?

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
::Thinks of the things he could pick up at that starbase::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Straightens:;  CO:  Aye sir.

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
Ops: Inform the station commander that the Seleya is arriving there for some R&R.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::Doesn't answer A'an, he just points to the conn::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Walks back to the helm and set the course for Starbase 324, breaks orbit and heads for the edge of the system::

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
CO: Aye sir. ::Sends comm to Station Commander::

CNS_Modalis says:
::Approaches Darklighter and Aan::  XO: Sir, Mrs Kurlaine is devoted to her belief that she can find her husband's killer.  I'm concerned that she's a little too zealous, however.

Host CO_Capt_Muir says:
:: Overhears the CNS and happens to agree, but these are their orders and they should at least try ::

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
COM: Starbase 324: Good day 324, this is the USS Seleya. We'll be with you shortly for some shore leave.

CNS_Modalis says:
XO: I recommend we keep a security team near her at all times.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::Nods as he listens to the CNS:: CNS: Agreed, I'll inform the captain.

CNS_Modalis says:
XO: Sir.  ::Heads back to her seat@@
