Host Erryn says:
MISSION SUMMARY: The crew has just begun to settle into their new lives on the Polaris. It's a different ship, and a new captain...and they've got a job to do.

Host Erryn says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

XO_Somak says:
::stands on the bridge, wondering where exactly he fits in now::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::arranging his ready room to suit his tastes.....whatever they may be::

ACSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::Sits at Science, readying probe telemetry and full scans::

FCO_Teasley says:
::at the helm trying to figure out the nav. computer::

CEO_Russel says:
::in the TL, heading for the bridge.::

aTO_Keel says:
::logs into the tactical station, begins monitoring the stationary probes stationed around the planet::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::In her new quarters, looking into the mirror::  There is nothing different about this new ship and crew.  OK, this ship belongs in a museum.  But Kayan said it was a good crew and I trust Kayan.  ::Points to herself in the mirror::  So get going.

aTO_Keel says:
XO:  Mr. Somak, all probes report no sub orbital flights or shuttles leaving the planet's atmosphere at the moment

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Straightening her uniform, she turns and heads for the bridge.::

CEO_Russel says:
::Exits TL and steps unto the bridge.::

ACSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::initiates LRS::

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: ETA is 7 minutes

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Steps off the TL onto the bridge for the first time and looks around.  Her eyebrows trying to leave her face as she looks it all over.::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::dusts off a few nick knacks::

CEO_Russel says:
::Walks to the CO's ready room and rings.::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Seeing everyone involved with their work, heads over toward the ready room::

ACSO_Sozorstennaj says:
CO: Captain, scans rrreporrrt nothing out of the orrrdinarrry.

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Stops as she reaches it at the same time as the CEO::  CEO:  Hello Matt.

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
*FCO* Aye, once there, put us in high standard orbit above the planet

aTO_Keel says:
XO:  ::looks at everyone looking back at him::  Sir, the night watch launched the probes so they would be on station before we arrived

CEO_Russel says:
::turns.::  CMO:  Oh, hi, how are your quarters?

XO_Somak says:
::faces Keel:: aTO: Good. How are all the probes handling?

FCO_Teasley says:
*CO*: Aye sir

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::hears the chime:: enter

CMO_Mea`e says:
CEO:  They are fine, thank you.  The MacMer's had done a great job in such a short time.

CEO_Russel says:
CMO:  Yeah, well I got to talk to the Captain, I'll talk to you after.

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Walks into the ready room.::

aTO_Keel says:
XO:  They are nominal, sir, telemetry within operational limits

CMO_Mea`e says:
::quietly::  CEO:  You and I both.

CEO_Russel says:
CMO:  Oh...  ::Follows the CMO into the ready room.::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Looks at the captain and the rather... interesting decor of the room.::

XO_Somak says:
aTO: ::nods:: Alert me at the first sign of any change.

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
*CSO*: Keep me posted on anything you find

aTO_Keel says:
XO:  Aye Sir

CMO_Mea`e says:
CO:  Sir, reporting as requested.  However, as the CEO would like to speak with you, do you want me to wait?

ACSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::sighs a bit and busies himself with continuing scan:: *CO*: Aye, sirrr.

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CEO/CMO: Ah Chief, Doctor

XO_Somak says:
::draws back and visits the helm:: FCO: How's the new ship running lieutenant?

FCO_Teasley says:
XO: A bit sluggish, but she's managing

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CMO: Oh no, please stay.

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Nods::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CEO: So what do you have for me Mr. Russel?

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CEO/CMO: Please excuse the mess, still trying to move in

CEO_Russel says:
::hands the CO a PADD.::  CO:  Here's my report, all systems are operational, most of them are at full capacity.

XO_Somak says:
FCO: If you have any problems, I'm sure the CEO wouldn't mind helping you.

aTO_Keel says:
::makes adjustment to probe 3 sensors, scanning the northern continent::

FCO_Teasley says:
XO: Understood sir

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Picks up a pile of PADDs off a chair and places them near the chair, then takes a seat.::

ACSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::changes his station to monitor the repeater scan data from the probe telemetry::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::takes the PADD and reads over it:: CEO: Good, good. How are the repairs to those systems not yet up coming?

XO_Somak says:
::glances at TAC quickly before returning to standing beside the big chair::

CEO_Russel says:
CO:  Nicely, everything should be repaired in a few days.

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Looks around the room, noting the various knick-knacks and pictures, especially the picture of a woman in StarFleet medical and later in StarFleet command uniform.  There is also pictures of a baby.::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CEO: Good, keep me posted, don't to get caught with our proverbial pants down

ACSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::Eyes Somak thoughtfully:: XO: If I didn't know betterrr, sirrr, I'd say you look uncomforrrtable.

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CEO: This is our new CMO Dr umm Dr.....CMO: What was your name again?

CEO_Russel says:
CO:  Aye.

XO_Somak says:
::looks at the ACSO, surprised:: ACSO: Thank you for the observation. ::raises eyebrow and takes a seat, thinking he covered that suitably::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Smiles:: CO:  Dr. Mea`a.  Lt. La'i Mea'a.  And the CEO and I have met.  He has been most hospitable.

Yalvin says:
@COMM: Polaris: This is colony leader Yalvin of Tau Epsilon IV. Are you there?

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CMO: Ah yes that’s right, sorry I wasn't too hospitable myself, I have a lot on my mind lately

Host Erryn says:
ACTION: The Polaris enters the Tau Epsilon system.

XO_Somak says:
::hears the beep of a COMM message somewhere in the room::

FCO_Teasley says:
XO: Sir we're entering the system

ACSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::Flicks his ears and tail tip in a sort of Caitian body language equivalent of a chuckle:: XO: But I do know you betterrr, being that you'rrre Vulcan, sirrr, so I know it couldn't be that. ::Scans the system::

CMO_Mea`e says:
CO:  That is understandable sir.

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CMO: I noticed you were glancing over my pictures

aTO_Keel says:
COMM: Yalvin:  This is the USS Polaris, we read you

XO_Somak says:
FCO: Understood. *CO*: Sir, we've entered the system.

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Nods::  CO:  Your wife and... daughter?

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
*XO*: Thank you Mr. Somak. Have we made contact yet?

Yalvin says:
@::repeats grumpily:: COMM: Polaris: Are you there? ::mutters to himself::  Polaris: Well! It’s about time....who are you?

CEO_Russel says:
::Still standing, waiting to be dismissed.::

XO_Somak says:
*CO*: We will have shortly, sir.

aTO_Keel says:
*XO*:  Sir, we have a planetary representative on COMM, by the name of Yalvin

Yalvin says:
@::is very impatient::

ACSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::Notes no unusual activity and logs it, keeping scan on long range in case::

XO_Somak says:
aTO: Main Viewer. ::stands up to greet the COMM::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CMO: Yes that is my wife Jerni and my adopted daughter T'Ana.....*XO*: Thank you Mr. Somak, I'll be out in a minute

Yalvin says:
@::mutters some disparaging remarks to a nearby aide::

aTO_Keel says:
::Activates Main viewer::

FCO_Teasley says:
::puts the ship into high orbit::

XO_Somak says:
COMM: Yalvin: This is Lt.Cmdr Somak, how can we help?

CEO_Russel says:
CO:  Am I dismissed?

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CEO: Oh yes Mr. Russel your excused, please forgive me. I'm feeling a bit nervous

Yalvin says:
@COMM: Polaris: How can you help? How do you think you can help, young man? My people are dropping like Vendiri sandflies!

CEO_Russel says:
::nods to the CO and CMO, then heads for the door.::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Stands up and smiles at Matt::

Yalvin says:
@::frowns heavily::

XO_Somak says:
COMM: Yalvin: We understand that. We have supplies to assist you, and will be deploying them to the planet shortly.

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Waits to see what the captain wants to do next.::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::hands her a PADD:: CMO: Our current mission brought us here to Tau Epsilon IV. They have an Andorian influenza outbreak.

CEO_Russel says:
::Exits RR.::

ACSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::follows the conversation on-screen::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Nods, taking the PADD.::  CO:  Dr. MacMer filled me in and I have had time to preview the plans she and Captain Ross had discussed.

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CMO: And you have Operational control over this mission. So you’re up to bat

Yalvin says:
@COMM: Polaris: Are you sure that heap of space junk your flying around in has transporters? ::raises a brow::

ACSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::bristles slightly and growls a bit::

aTO_Keel says:
::Looks over at the main viewer::  

CEO_Russel says:
::Stops mid-step as he hears the COMM.::

CMO_Mea`e says:
CO:  Bat?

Yalvin says:
@::in an aside to an aide:: Aide: StarFleet must be having financial problems.........

ACSO_Sozorstennaj says:
Self: We could always firrre the supplies out the Photon Torrrpedo tubes...

XO_Somak says:
COMM: Yalvin: ::resists Vulcan sarcasm:: We have the necessary components to help your planet, if your standards will allow it.

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::chuckles:: CMO: It's an Earth expression

CEO_Russel says:
::resumes walking towards the stairs.::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Slowly nods her head::  CO:  I remember the bats at Carlsbad cavern in New Mexico.  I had wondered.

XO_Somak says:
::performs the universal symbol to the aTO to mute::

Yalvin says:
@COMM: Polaris: We haven't got any standards left anymore, Sonny. Dead people have no standards. When can we expect your doctors?

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CMO: You also have Mr. Sozor at your disposal

CEO_Russel says:
::goes down the stairs.::

CMO_Mea`e says:
CO:  Good.  I like Caitians.  We have only talked briefly.

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::holds back a laugh:: CMO: Not that kind of bat, this is a bat made of wood and you swing it to hit a white ball, it's an old Earth game

XO_Somak says:
*CO/CMO*: Sir, the people will be requiring the doctors planet side urgently.

Yalvin says:
@COMM: Polaris: You still there, Pointy? ::smacks his control panel::

aTO_Keel says:
::ensures the mute activated::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
*XO* Understood Mr. Somak

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Considers::  CO:  I am not familiar with this game.  Perhaps I should visit the holodeck and see what it is.  Though I doubt this ship has one.

XO_Somak says:
*CMO*: Would it possible to get a general ETA until you are ready to beam down?

CEO_Russel says:
::Stops on Deck 4.  Walks to ME.::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CMO: Well Dr, looks like you and your team will be needed planet side. I'll send some SEC Officers with you 

CMO_Mea`e says:
*XO*:  We are ready whenever we get clearance.  My people are standing by.

Yalvin says:
@Aide: Looks like their blasted COMM system broke down.......

XO_Somak says:
*CMO*: Understood, Somak out.

XO_Somak says:
::gives the aTO the symbol to turn mute off::

CMO_Mea`e says:
CO:  It has been along time since I went on vacation.  ::Heads out of the RR.::

ACSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::grumbles and begins scanning the surface::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::walks out of his ready room::

aTO_Keel says:
::nods in activating the audio::

XO_Somak says:
COMM: Yalvin: We will be ready to send our people down immediately.

CEO_Russel says:
::Enters ME.::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Walks over to the CSO::  CSO:  Have you discovered the cause of the outbreak?

XO_Somak says:
::gives the Captain a quick nod, ready to return the bridge after the COMM has completed::

Yalvin says:
@::jumps:: COMM: Polaris: Good. And um.....we've got a bit of another sort of problem on our hands......

Yalvin says:
@::looks embarrassed::

XO_Somak says:
COMM: Yalvin: ::raises eyebrow:: Yes?

ACSO_Sozorstennaj says:
CMO: Not yet. I think it will rrrequire more detailed analysis.

CMO_Mea`e says:
CSO:  You will be coming down with me?

Yalvin says:
@COMM: Polaris: Well, it may be nothing, now, Pointy...but one of my most trusted men has been screaming about.....ghosts, for a while now.

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::smiles as he over hears the pointy comment::

ACSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::flicks an ear and peers up at the CMO:: CMO: Aye, though I should point out that we should limit ourrr exposurrre lest we contaminate the ship on ourrr rrreturrrn.

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Catches the word 'ghost' and turns to look at the screen::

ACSO_Sozorstennaj says:
CMO: I'm fairrrly cerrrtain I am immune, but I may be a carrrrrierrr.

Yalvin says:
@COMM: Polaris: Now, I'm not saying that I believe him, now......but he certainly does....and to tell you the truth, he's scaring the bejezus out me.

XO_Somak says:
COMM: Yalvin: We'll send a counselor down with the team.

CEO_Russel says:
::Takes the PADD handed to him.  Glances at it.::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Nods and speaks half absently::  CSO:  Agreed... I have already sent special bio-filters down to engineering...  ::Turns to look at him::  That man did say ghosts, right?

ACSO_Sozorstennaj says:
CMO: Hold on a moment.. I believe this is attrrributable to a contaminated food shipment...

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
XO: What seems to be happening now, Mr. Somak?

ACSO_Sozorstennaj says:
CMO: Currrrious...

Yalvin says:
@COMM: Polaris: Well....::scratches his grizzled head::...he don't seem crazy most of the time. He went out on a salvage run.....and just went wonky!

CMO_Mea`e says:
::His latter words sink in::  CSO:  Carrier?  Food?

XO_Somak says:
COMM: Yalvin: Make sure you keep him away from any 'pointy' objects. Somak out. ::end comm::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Mumbles::  Wonky?  what is a wonky?

aTO_Keel says:
::returns the main viewer back to the planet view::

ACSO_Sozorstennaj says:
CMO: Aye. It appearrrs as though the shipment came frrrom Andorrr itself and that a few of the colonists had somehow managed to miss theirrr innoculations.

XO_Somak says:
CO: Sir, the locals are getting insistent. They are demanding the team be sent down now, there is also a report that one of their people has come down with some sort of schizophrenia. Perhaps the counselor should take a look.

CMO_Mea`e says:
CSO:  Which would explain how it got around the colonists.  But why did it spread?  And how did it get into the food to begin with?

aTO_Keel says:
::adjusts the proximity alarms on the stationary probes around the planet to activate his display should any one of the them detect a ship attempting to leave the planet's atmosphere::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::nods::

FCO_Teasley says:
::adjusts the nav. computer::

XO_Somak says:
CO: The bridge is yours, sir.

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
*CMO* They are urgently requesting your teams presence Dr.

ACSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::turns to look at the CMO:: CMO: I would imagine it sprrread as virrruses arrre wont to, afterrr it found a host to acclimate to and innoculations werre used. Influenza strrrains arrre known to be rrresistant and mutable to attempts to destrrroy them.

ACSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::gets up to follow the CMO::

CEO_Russel says:
::Walks out of ME and into his office.  Sits down behind his desk.::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
XO: Thank you Mr. Somak. ::takes his seat::

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: We're in high orbit around the planet sir

CMO_Mea`e says:
::nods her head in agreement as she heads for the TL::  CSO:  Which means we could have an even bigger problem on our hands until we identify the strain and cure.

CMO_Mea`e says:
CO:  We are on our way.

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Steps onto the TL::

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CMO: Oh and Doctor, make sure you take a Counselor with you

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Pauses::  CO:  The counselor?

ACSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::Rumbles and steps in to follow:: CMO: The verrry definition of an 'outbrrreak', I believe.

XO_Somak says:
::finds a place to stand::

CEO_Russel says:
::starts catching up on some paperwork.::

CMO_Mea`e says:
CSO:  Not necessarily.  Some people don't see a disease for a while and get lazy, thinking it is wiped out.  They don't take their innoculations and then we find the disease, once obliterated, finding itself once again running around.

FCO_Teasley says:
*CEO*: Could I ask a favor of you?

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CMO: Yes, it seems that one of their pilots has got schizophrenia

CEO_Russel says:
::puts the PADD down.::  *FCO*:  What favor?

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Mumbles:: Lovely.  CO:  A side affect of the illness?  ::Looks at the CSO as they step into the TL.::

FCO_Teasley says:
*CEO*: The torque buffers are out of alignment, could you fix it?

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CMO: I don't know, that’s what the Counselor needs to ascertain

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Nods as the doors start to close.::

CMO_Mea`e says:
*CNS*:  Please meet us in the transporter room.

ACSO_Sozorstennaj says:
TL: Deck 8.

XO_Somak says:
::strolls around the deck gathering status reports::

CEO_Russel says:
*FCO*:  They are?  I'll check it out.  ::Thinks:  "Thank you"  while pushing his paperwork away.::

ACSO_Sozorstennaj says:
CMO: Hmmm. All I can say is that therrrre could be some otherrr explanations forrr it. Options arrre always possible.

CEO_Russel says:
::Stands and exits his office, grabbing his kit on the way out.::

aTO_Keel says:
::points at the display to the attention of the XO at the projected spread of the outbreak without treatment::

CMO_Mea`e says:
CSO:  Until we are positive about what is going on, I would like to wait before sending any of my people down.  If the virus has mutated, our current vaccinations won't be usable anyway.

XO_Somak says:
::notices the aTO's pointing and looks at the figures...:: aTO: This isn't good.

ACSO_Sozorstennaj says:
CMO: I concurrr. Have them take a rrrandom sampling of blood samples and beam them up forrr tests while we beam down the firrrst batch of vaccine.

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
XO: Mr. Somak, what would your most logical assessment on this mission thus far?

aTO_Keel says:
XO:  No Sir, the computer projects an alarming rate, we need to intercede here or I fear the worse

XO_Somak says:
aTO: Indeed. Let's hope the medical teams can do something.

aTO_Keel says:
XO:  Yes Sir ::looks back and monitors his panel::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Steps off the TL and heads for the transporter::  CSO:  I'll have one team take the samples and have the rest, working with your people, on making sure we have the correct one.  We can go ahead and send down what we have for now.  Especially considering how bad it may be down there.

XO_Somak says:
CO: Sir, obviously the virus has spread. Perhaps this was an error of judgement that allowed it to spread. The virus is certainly lethal, and without our intervention the planet is doomed.

Host CO_MacPherson-Quest says:
XO: Any suggestions on how we can stop its progression?

CEO_Russel says:
::Walks to the JF entrance.::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Grabs her pack from one of her nurses who is waiting with the first group to go down.::

XO_Somak says:
CO: Isolation, perhaps a cure that can be applied by leaving it in the air.

CEO_Russel says:
::crawls into the JF.::

ACSO_Sozorstennaj says:
::Follows and nods, adjusting his tricorder and slipping into it's holster:: CMO: I think that might be best.

CMO_Mea`e says:
Diana:  Tell the rest of the teams to hold off on beaming down just yet.  Sounds like we are dealing with a new strain.  This first group will get samples to send up.  I want you to coordinate with science to see what we are dealing with.

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Steps onto the Transporter PADD with the first team and the CSO::

CMO_Mea`e says:
Transporter chief:  Please beam us down to the specified coordinates.

XO_Somak says:
CO: This is definitely a medical solution. Let's hope the CMO is as good as Ms. Bryn said she is.

Host Erryn says:
ACTION: The first medical team transports to the surface.
