Last time on the Seleya:

Life on a starship is uncertain as it is anywhere else.  There are days of tedium and routine.  Perhaps the difference from life elsewhere, is that the more interesting days really are usually more different then those on a planet and can sometimes be more frustrating as the possibilities widen into the infinite.  But this is the life many have chosen for those very reasons.

So life aboard a starship in many ways is no different than those of a town.  Relationships come together and shatter.  New lives are begun and lost.  Lives are changed by others.  New things are tried or people return to that comforted them the most in the past.  Good and bad habits prevail, are picked up or finally given up.  New skills learned, new knowledge gained and of course the ever present gossip.

Since Acral, a world lost in someone's history book, briefly revisited, things have run normally as lives move forward.  With another planetary year coming to an end, there was a moment of rumination.  And for a brief pause, some of those lives were celebrated publicly.  With the holodeck ban removed, the crew spent some time on a sunny beach surrounded by cliffs and a blue-green ocean.  A place of reflection and celebration.

Five more days have passes and the ship is almost to its destination as it is now in range of the stations primary relay station.  Those who came aboard to transfer to the station are ready to leave with two more days left.  They are restless.  The medical staff are as ready as possible without more information.  The CMO brought aboard for this very mission equally ready to move forward.

It is an hour into beta shift...

Cmdr Maor's log, SD: 11212.16: We are a few days removed from the gathering at the holodeck. I've yet to personally congratulate each officer but I am hoping to find the the time as soon as possible. Assuming the Captain ever decides to show up that is.

<<<<<<<<< Mine... II  >>>>>>>>>>

SO Lt Rose says:
::At science, having lost the bet with her chief.::
MO LtJG Lee says:
::Takes another sip of her tea, trying to look like she's enjoying the weird, rubbery taste::
CMO LtCmdr York says:
::Puts the PADD down:: MO: Do you think Sek will be able to handle her duties onboard the ship in our absence? I believe Dar would be valuable on the surface.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances up from his PADD:: FCO: Ensi--- ::Pauses in mid-sentence:: CTO: Commander? Where the hell is everyone?
MO LtJG Lee says:
CMO: If we leave Patrick with her, I think they'll be fine. ::Makes a face:: CMO: But Dar's been giving me weird smiles all week. Making me feel paranoid. Can't we just take Dean with us instead?
OPS Cortella says:
XO:  Sir, I am getting the same message from the station.  I just realized that every time one was sent, the return message to us has been identical.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Glances up from his console, was running a diagnostics on the weapons system.::  XO:  Not sure sir.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods at the direction of the OPS:: SO: Life signs, Lieutenant?
SO Lt Rose says:
::Listening she looks up and toward the sensors.::  XO:  We are too far from the station to know that just yet.  We are just coming up on the relay station.  I am getting a lock onto it now.

Scenery:  On the screen a visual of the relay station appears.  The closer the ship gets to it, the more obvious that it has been tampered with.

CMO LtCmdr York says:
::Looks at her over the brim of his cup:: MO: I don't care, she's coming and that's that.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances down at the direction of his console:: CTO: Can you confirm my suspicions, Commander? Do you detect anything that might have been done to the relay station?
OPS Cortella says:
XO:  Shall I try a direct channel to the station?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Directs his sensors toward the relay station.::  XO:  Checking now.
MO LtJG Lee says:
::Sighs in resignation:: CO: Yessir. ::Takes another sip and hides a grimace::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
OPS: Do it. Work with science if you need to allocate more resources from the sensors.
CMO LtCmdr York says:
MO: Oh for goodness sakes Lee, watching you struggle with a simple cup of tea is getting ridiculous. What can I get you instead, a cup of cocoa? ::Said mockingly::
OPS Cortella says:
::With a nod, turns back and makes a direct connection.::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Frowns at his monitors.:: XO:  There seem to be some items attached to the relay.  From what I can tell its set up to automatically send out automatic responses, depending on the input received.
MO LtJG Lee says:
::Ignores his tone:: CMO: Bolian mocha would be great. With one of those little edible stirring biscuits on the side they do. You know...the ones they use to scoop up the froth... ::Finds herself smiling, despite her descent into babble::
CMO LtCmdr York says:
::Smiles::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CTO: I don't get it, didn't they know we'll see it and investigate? Or is this just a ploy to lure us into getting too close to it?
OPS Cortella says:
XO:  Commander, I am not getting any response.
MO LtJG Lee says:
CMO: Gillesaro always liked those. He used to say that if they managed to make a mocha solely out of froth, he'd die happy...
XO Cmdr Maor says:
OPS: Take us toward the station. ::Turns to the direction of the CTO:: CTO: Yellow alert.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
XO:  Not sure, not detecting anything else odd about the relay.  My guess is they were just trying to delay us from finding out that something is wrong.  ::Pushes a few buttons on his console changing the alert status.::  Aye sir.
CMO LtCmdr York says:
MO: I prefer my drinks less sweet. ::Clears his throat and signs a PADD and hands it to her:: There, the new roster. Patrick and Sek will handle sickbay in our absence....and I made sure that a few command officers are behind on their checkups.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CTO: Inform the Doctors to prepare to take casualties, just in case.
MO LtJG Lee says:
::Chuckles:: CMO: Sir, you know I don't mind doing those. ::Takes the PADD, gives it one last look over and uploads it to the medical database.:: CMO: Sir. ::Thinks, young face serious for a moment:: CMO: I've never been on a plague-ridden planet before.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Hits his badge:: *CIV*: Maor to Savar.
Amb Envoy Savar says:
*XO*: Commander?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
*CMO/MO*:  There may be a problem at the station, prepare for possible casualties.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
*CIV*: You're needed on the bridge, Savar. There be trouble brewin' ahead.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
SO: Keep scanning for any signs of the Borg, Lieutenant. With our luck, they've come back to finish the job.
Amb Envoy Savar says:
*XO*: Trouble is no longer my responsibility, Commander.  Perhaps you're mistaking me for someone else.
CMO LtCmdr York says:
::Taps his badge:: *CTO*: Oh is that what we do down here? We're ready as always, Commander.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
*CIV*: Don't worry, we'll find something for you to do.
FCO Playton says:
::Nods and warning engineering, takes the ship to maximum warp.::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Shakes his head at York's comment.::  *CMO*:  Just keeping you informed doctor.
CMO LtCmdr York says:
MO: Neither have I to be honest.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Overhears the CMO's comments:: CTO: Maybe you should tell him to take the time to hide his alcohol from us in case we show up for a surprise inspection.
MO LtJG Lee says:
::Stands up, picks up a few discarded PADDS and hugs them:: CMO: That makes me feel no better...
Amb Envoy Savar says:
::Ponders several responses, but recalls the agreements he has made with Captain Gomes to support the ship as possible ::
CMO LtCmdr York says:
MO: If you want a hug, find someone else. I can give you experience.
MO LtJG Lee says:
::Moves out into main Sickbay with the CMO:: CMO: But in this case...::frowns, realizes what she was about to say, and keeps talking anyway:: ...you can't!

ACTION: Two days have passed.  The Seleya has come into range of DS5 and dropped out of warp to half impulse.

XO Cmdr Maor says:
SO: Life signs, Lieutenant? 
SO Lt Rose says:
::Staring at her sensors as she has been for the past few hours.::  XO:  Still no life signs.
MO LtJG Lee says:
::Has taken a few hours of a nap on a spare biobed::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CTO: Any signs of external damage, Commander?

Scenery:  The station is dark.  There is no signs of life, energy, or ships in the vacinity.

Amb Envoy Savar says:
::Sitting silently on the Bridge, apparently helping Maor learn how to run a starship ::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Checks the scans as they approach the station.::  XO:  No signs of damage, not detecting any ships in the area.
CMO LtCmdr York says:
::Shouts at Dar:: Nurse: Are you MAD? Give me that ! ::Takes the hypo out of her hand::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CTO: Get an away team ready, I want you inside that station.
MO LtJG Lee says:
::Mutters:: Self: ...he's not that bad, Mom, really! ::Wakes up suddenly, looking around startled and bewildered::
OPS Cortella says:
::As the same for the past few days.::  XO:  Still no response.
CMO LtCmdr York says:
::Picks the officer up by the collar and escorts him towards the door::
Nurse Dar says:
CMO: He has a toothache! ::Gapes, arms held out at her side in protest::
SO Lt Rose says:
XO:  I am reading power on stand-by.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
SO: Can you access the station logs from here?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
XO:  Yes sir.  ::Taps his badge.::  *CMO*:  I'm taking an away team to the station and would like a doctor to join us.  Have someone meet me in transporter room one.   *TO Derfel*:  Grab a couple other tactical personnel and meet me in TR1.
CMO LtCmdr York says:
::Kicks the man out:: Dar: Of course he doesn't you overgrown care bear, he's been in the lounge for the past two days crying over his now ex-boyfriend, he's hung over and looking for something to soothe the pain.
SO Lt Rose says:
XO:  Not easily.  It would be quicker to have someone go aboard and bring their computers back online.
CMO LtCmdr York says:
::Gives Dar a stern look as he answers his comm:: *CTO*: Expect Doctor Lee to join you.
Nurse Dar says:
::Shuts her mouth with a snap, folding her arms tightly and glaring::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
*CMO*:  Thanks doctor.
MO LtJG Lee says:
::Hears her name as she checks her hair's not all mussed, realizes it is, and quickly unclips and shacks it all down around her shoulders and trots into Main Sickbay:: CMO: You called? ::Fusses with her hair::
SO Lt Rose says:
XO:  Commander, I am reading picking up the signs of organic remains throughout the station.
CMO LtCmdr York says:
Dar: And keep it off his record Dar! People are allowed to mess up once or twice in their career.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
SO: Start working on transferring command of the station to us while they investigate what happened there. ::Pauses as the SO gives another status update:: Can you identify the species?
CMO LtCmdr York says:
::Turns around:: MO: My god, what am I running here? A bed and breakfast?
CMO LtCmdr York says:
MO: Grab a medkit and report to Transporter Room one.
SO Lt Rose says:
XO:  I am looking at the numbers.  They are fairly close to those who had been assigned to the station.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
XO:  Might be quicker if Rose came with the away team to help with the data transfer.
MO LtJG Lee says:
::Gives CMO a funny look:: CMO: Disco naps are a medical tradition, sir. ::Stops fiddling with her hair, pocketing the clip 'til she's out of eyeshot:: 
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CTO: Up to you, Commander.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
*CMO*: Maor to York. I need you on the bridge, Commander.
CMO LtCmdr York says:
::Grunts::
MO LtJG Lee says:
CMO: Yessir... ::Grabs a medkit, gives Dar a quick glance, and sees her smile drop all of a sudden, like she's hiding something and starts to leave Sickbay::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
SO:  Lt. you're with me.
CMO LtCmdr York says:
Dar: And see to the Captain and her daughter will you, I can't bear having her here another day.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CIV: What do you make of this, Savar? The Borg rarely leave corpses behind, think they were attacked by something else?
CMO LtCmdr York says:
*XO*: On my way.
SO Lt Rose says:
::As it would be easier for both the first officers requests, she stands, reaching for her kit always near at hand.::  CTO:  I would suggest EVA suits given the unknown situation.  Not to mention it will take a few minutes to get the environmental system back up to standard.
Nurse Dar says:
CMO: And you're Suuuure neither of them have simply have a heart-break hangover? ::Purses her lips::
MO LtJG Lee says:
::Trots off to TR1::
Amb Envoy Savar says:
XO: Borg, Commander?  We haven't seen the Borg in years.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Turns his station over to Taliesin then heads for the turbolift, waiting for Rose.::  SO:  Good idea we'll grab some from the locker near transporter room 1.
SO Lt Rose says:
::After ordering Balien to the bridge, she follows Max to the lift.::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::As Rose enters the lift he orders it to the transporter room.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CIV: Apparently the colony we're headed to has. They're close enough for us to entertain the idea.
CMO LtCmdr York says:
::Takes his robe off and throws it on an empty biobed:: Dar: I'll be on the Bridge apparently.
FCO Playton says:
XO:  Shall I take the ship into orbit or dock with the station?
Amb Envoy Savar says:
XO: Commander, Ivor Prime was destroyed over sixteen years ago.
Nurse Dar says:
::Turns, looks at the CO and her...daughter?:: CMO: And the Captain has a SON, apparently.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
FCO: Don't dock yet, keep us at a safe distance. 
SO Lt Rose says:
::Nods with a smile toward Lee::  MO:  Drafted or volunteered?
CMO LtCmdr York says:
::Shrugs:: Dar: What do I care? ::Leaves sickbay and heads for the nearest Turbolift::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CIV: If there's one thing you can say about the Borg, they're persistent.
SO Lt Rose says:
::As the lift pauses, she steps off and heads for the transporter room.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
*CTO*: Commander, see about sending us some samples for the doctor to investigate. 
FCO Playton says:
::With a nod, takes the ship to just within transporter range.::
MO LtJG Lee says:
::Looks up at SO's question as she walks into the TR.:: SO: More Shanghaied, I think...he got me when I was sleepy. ::Smiles a little:: SO/CTO: What are we in for?
CMO LtCmdr York says:
::Steps onto the Bridge:: XO: You rang?
SO Lt Rose says:
MO:  You look better then when last I saw you.  ::Goes to the locker to pull out an EVA suit and hands one to Lee.::  Unfortunately, a dead station.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CMO: Have you had the time to look over the data packet regarding your orders once we reach Epsilon Scorpii?
SO Lt Rose says:
::Quickly steps into hers and lets one of the techs help her check it out.::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
*XO*: Will do sir.  ::Exits the lift and heads for the transporter room.::  MO:  Investigating what happened on DS5.  ::Moves to the locker and grabs a couple suits, tossing them to his security team before grabbing one for himself.::
MO LtJG Lee says:
::Takes the suit, and checks it:: SO: Oh. So I'm more a formality than anything. ::Looks a little disappointed::
CMO LtCmdr York says:
XO: In the past seven months? Of course I have.
SO Lt Rose says:
MO:  I am not sure what you mean by that.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CMO: Go over the data from the science console, I want you to reassure me that whatever happened there did not happen on the station as well.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Gives the coordinates to the transporter chief of the control center.::
CMO LtCmdr York says:
::Nods looking grave:: XO: You think the illness has spread?
MO LtJG Lee says:
::Shrugs:: SO: First Away Mission without Commander York. Hoped for something to write home about, you know?  "Dear Mom, Had my first AT, solo. Walked around an empty station... it was the best day ever". ::Shrugs as she steps into her suit:: SO: You know...
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CMO: The SO reported organic remains, numbers tally to around the last personnel number stationed on the station. You do the math.
SO Balien says:
::Arriving on the bridge, heads for the science station to log on.::
TO Taliesin says:
::At the bridge tactical station keeping an eye on the long range sensors.::
SO Lt Rose says:
MO:  I have a feeling it will not be a pretty sight... something you will want to write home about.  ::Takes a step up onto the transporter padd::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CIV: Savar, I'm going to need you to go over the quarantine protocols if the CMO escalates the situation. We might have to send them a shuttle while we work it out.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Quickly puts on his EVA suit and double checks the seals before stepping up onto the transport padd waiting for the others.::
CMO LtCmdr York says:
::Moves towards the Science station:: XO: Let's hope not, but at least it would be quarantined.
MO LtJG Lee says:
::Feels a chill run down her spine at the SO's words, sets her helmet in place and steps up on the pad behind the CTO, shifting her medkit on her shoulder::
Amb Envoy Savar says:
XO: Roger that.
CMO LtCmdr York says:
::Looks over the first scans of the station::
CMO LtCmdr York says:
XO: From what I am seeing here, the bodies are grouped together at different areas...but most seems to be in the medical ward.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Reaches up to activate her light.::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Takes a phaser rifle from Derfel and check that everyone is in place.::  TC:  Energize.
MO LtJG Lee says:
::Takes a deep breath and waits for the station to appear around her::

@ACTION: The away team is beamed to the control center of the station.

@Scenery:  Darkness surrounds the away team.  As their lights move along they highlight equipment and bodies strewn about.

XO Cmdr Maor says:
TO: Activate the away team's helmet cams to the viewscreen.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::As they materialize on the station he flips on the lights on his headpiece and his rifle and begins a sweep of the area.::
MO LtJG Lee says:
@::Looking around, mouth open a little, trying to control her breathing:: SO: Spooky... ::Takes out her tricorder and starts to scan::
TO Taliesin says:
XO: Yes sir bringing it up now.  ::Taps a few buttons and brings up the helmet cams and puts them on the main viewer.::
SO Lt Rose says:
@::Sighs... she was already expecting it.  But seeing it was not the same thing.  She makes her way over to the engineering console.::
MO LtJG Lee says:
@::Steps over to a body, examining it briefly with her eyes before reaching out with her scanner and running it down the length of the corpse::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
*CTO*: Commander, I suggest you head to the medical ward first. The doctor reports the most bodies there.
SO Lt Rose says:
@::As it is stand-by mode, it does not take much to bring power back online.::
CMO LtCmdr York says:
XO: Commander, in cases of emergency there are strict rules and ways in which to deal with catastrophes, but it seems like someone attempted to do so, but was overwhelmed.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Eyes moving across the bodies he does his best to ignore them as he looks for any immediate threats.::  *XO*:  Yes sir.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Notices the power restore across the station:: CMO: Do we know how the plaque spreads?

@ACTION:  Throughout the station the lights come glaringly on.::

MO LtJG Lee says:
@::Sees her readings spike:: CTO: Sir... we're dealing with radiation poisoning, here. I - ::Sounds nervous and turns to SO:: SO: Rose, it there anything in the area you can detect as a source?
CMO LtCmdr York says:
XO: We don't even know if there is a plague on the station. There is no way to know if this is the same thing that the B'tal'lon reported.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Turns around to look at the doctor with a frown.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CMO: Feel comfortable enough to wager a guess? From what you've seen so far?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@SO:  I'll go with Lee to medical while you work on getting power up and running.  I'll leave a couple security personnel here with you.  ::Turns to Doctor Lee.::  MO:  What kind of radiation?
CMO LtCmdr York says:
XO: I suggest we wait for reports from the away team before I start guessing.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Nods her thanks to Max as she moves toward the main console::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CMO: Your top priority is to investigate the samples as they come. So far we have more questions than answers.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Motions for some of his team to remain.::  MO:  Let’s take a look at the medical bay see what we can find there.  Might be some logs there that will help us determine what caused this.
MO LtJG Lee says:
@::Checks her readings as she walks beside SO:: SO: Seems comparable to that scans Doctor Dean took of the bodies we found on Acral... hang on ::Taps her comm badge:: *CMO*: Suir, I'm sending you some readings. Can you please ask Conway to compare them to the John Doe in the morgue? I think we're dealing with the same band of radiation over here..
SO Lt Rose says:
@MO:  An entire station?  ::Her face becoming very serious.::  What about the Nashtorol....
