Host Jules says:
SUMMARY:   The Hydra has made it back to Avalon.  They have found traces of an unidentified weapon.  It could possibly be the cargo in which the destroyed ship was carring.  Also, Romulan involvment is possible, but not confirmed.  It appears that the crew could use a little R & R.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:

EO_Ens_Thomson says:

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
OPS:  I'm sure it wouldn't come to that.

SO_Ens_Taylor says:
::Jumps as she hears the CSO and walks over to her station::

CSO_LtJG_Foster says:
*CEO*:  Initial scans are showing biological filaments at all the questionable sites.

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
::Walks over to Alex and leans over to check her work:: SO: What're you working on?  I have some information about those planets at the end of the ion trail.

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
::Turns to look at Karen:: CSO: What are all over the place?

CSO_LtJG_Foster says:
SO/EO:  Look at this.  ::Points::

CEO_Lt_Kinsale says:
Rehorne:  Well, they don't seem to need much oxygen to survive.  And they don't seem to be symbiotic. I'm not sure if they are truly parasitic or not.  If they are, that would mean they may eventually consume their host.  ::Shudder::  I'll let Science answer that one for us.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
OPS:  Passengers... No.

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
::Moves over to take a look::

SO_Ens_Taylor says:
::Motions for Steph to follow:: EO: Do tell. ::Smiles::

CTO_CmdrPaladineSky says:
::Puts his swords away, puts on bear claws and throws shurikens::

CEO_Lt_Kinsale says:
Rehorne:  I'm still more concerned with how they got here to begin with.  And why the Station's decon protocols didn't catch them in the standard filters.

CMO_LtCmdr_Slater says:
::Notes that its 1400 hours and has missed lunch, sighs::

SO_Ens_Taylor says:
::Looks where the CSO is pointing::

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
<Lt. Rehorne>  CEO:  I'm sure that the engineers who made the station probably didn't know about this epidemic that seems to be growing on the station.

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
::Gets a good look at Karen's console and then cocks her head in a questioning manner:: CSO: Looks like filaments.  So?

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
OPS:  Something bothering you about that?

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
::Keeps on staring out the window.::  CO:  I had Ikoll and Zeram with me.  Nova and Kalinda too of course.

CMO_LtCmdr_Slater says:
::Walks over to the replicator and orders an egg sandwich, no crust, chips and a milk::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
OPS:  Ikoll and Zeram, your former wife and your son, right?

CEO_Lt_Kinsale says:
::Finally noticing the light beeping on her PADD indicating she should contact the CSO immediately::

CTO_CmdrPaladineSky says:
::Pops the cartiledge on his back and heads off onto the prominade with a katana strapped to his back, in loose fitting gear::

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
CO:  Yes.

CSO_LtJG_Foster says:
EO:  We're scanning all the places where unusual events have happened recently.

CEO_Lt_Kinsale says:
*CSO*  Sorry about that, I was er...preoccupied.

CEO_Lt_Kinsale says:
*CSO* I was afraid that these things were everywhere.  We'll need to come up with a safe decontamination procedure.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
OPS:  Have a seat Yanis, your're gonna give me motion sickness

CMO_LtCmdr_Slater says:
::Sits down at her desk with the cold sandwich and milk and wonder's what Paladine is up to::

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
<Lt. Rehorne>  ::Listening to the CEO and CSO.::

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
CSO: What are you talking about?  I thought we were going over the debris?

PaladineSky says:
::Light jog to the promenade::

CEO_Lt_Kinsale says:
*CSO*  We'll be depending upon your department and Medical to come up with something.

CEO_Lt_Kinsale says:
::Aside to Rehorne:: I have no idea what their life cycle is either.

CMO_LtCmdr_Slater says:
::Munches on her sandwich and muses about moving into Paladine's quarters::

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
::Goes by the chair but doesn't sit down.::  CO:  My friend, I know you would have me tell you what happened on Romulus but I cannot.  The consequences would be too grave.

CSO_LtJG_Foster says:
CEO:  You're right.  Right now I'm worried that they might have spread.  I'll begin a full sweep of the station.  We'll also begin trying to come up with a way to erradicate them.  Can you please pass that along.

PaladineSky says:
*Victoria* Whatcha up to?

CEO_Lt_Kinsale says:
*CSO*  You'll have to get a handle on what their life cycle is.  How long they live, how often they reproduce and how many they make each time.  ::Shudder::

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
<Lt. Rehorne>  CEO:  Doctor Slater would probably be of some use in this investigation but she seemed unwilling to help the other day.  I doubt we should ask her again.

CMO_LtCmdr_Slater says:
::Jumps:: *Paladine* I'm doing reports and eating lunch.

CSO_LtJG_Foster says:
SO/EO:  Like we needed a new beast to conquer.

PaladineSky says:
*Victoria* Whatcha eating good lookin'?

CSO_LtJG_Foster says:
*CEO*:  Aye.  I'll contact Medical.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
OPS:  Hey, Yanis, as long as it is of a personal nature, and doesn't have an impact on the Federation, I don't really need to know.  I just thought you might want to talk is all.

CEO_Lt_Kinsale says:
Rehorne:  Good idea, but it'll be Science that has to figure that out.  We've got our own problems with this damnable thing.

SO_Ens_Taylor says:
::Nods to the CSO::

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
::His eyes look very troubled.::  CO:  I can't....

CMO_LtCmdr_Slater says:
::Looks at her half eaten sandwich:: *Paladine* Egg Salad and chips.

CEO_Lt_Kinsale says:
Rehorne:  I'm going to see if I can figure out how fast it spread, based upon the nature of the malfunctions we experienced.

PaladineSky says:
*Victoria* Have to keep your girlish figure huh? Nothing with grease?

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
::Frowns:: CSO: This doesn't sound like work for an Engineer.  ::Hands a PADD to Alex:: Here's the information on those planets. I'll just head back to Engineering.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
OPS:  Really Yanis, i'ts not a problem.  Just know, if you need to...  I'm here for ya.

CSO_LtJG_Foster says:
*CMO*:  I could use some assistance.

CMO_LtCmdr_Slater says:
*CSO*  What's up?

CEO_Lt_Kinsale says:
Rehorne:  How about if you see about rounding up all the nasties and getting them into isolation fields?

CSO_LtJG_Foster says:
EO:  Thanks, Steph.  See you later.

SO_Ens_Taylor says:
::Takes the PADD from the EO:: EO: OK, thanks Steph.

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
<Lt. Rehorne>  CEO:  We began to experience the malfunctions soon after we boarded the station and when the systems were put into greater use.  Yes Chief.

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
::Lowers head a bit.::  CO:  Thank you.

PaladineSky says:
::Shuffling along the promenade in his jump suit::

Host Jules says:
ACTION:  A shuttle is detected on LRS.

CSO_LtJG_Foster says:
*CMO*:  We have found biological filaments on many parts of Avalon Station.  I need assistance in analyzing them and on how to erradicate them.

CEO_Lt_Kinsale says:
Rehorne:  Exactly.  I want to see how fast they spread around and I'm going to use our data on the malfunctions to gauge that.

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
::Waits for Alex to download the info so she can get her PADD back::

XO_Cmdr_Rushing says:
::Notices that the operations console is currently beeping::

CMO_LtCmdr_Slater says:
*CSO* Are these the same filaments the Rehorne had me analyze?

PaladineSky says:
::Telling a rowdy Klingon to pipe down::

SO_Ens_Taylor says:
::Begins to download the information from the PADD into her science console::

CSO_LtJG_Foster says:
*CMO*:  Yes

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
<Lt. Rehorne>  ::Smiles a bit and moves over to a console to begin erecting isolation fields around the contaminated areas.::

CMO_LtCmdr_Slater says:
*CSO* Hm.....the medical scans in Sickbay were inconclusive.

XO_Cmdr_Rushing says:
::Wonders what interesting surprises will come of it.::

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
CO:  There may be a Cardassian ship coming to Avalon in the next few weeks to pick up Ikoll and Zeram.

CMO_LtCmdr_Slater says:
*CSO*  So I sent her to see the CEO.

PaladineSky says:
::Looks left, looks right, lights his pipe::

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
CO:  I apologize for neglecting to mention their being on the station.

PaladineSky says:

CSO/SO: Do you have samples?

Host RAdm_Serok says:
:: Locates the CO :: All:  As you were.

CSO_LtJG_Foster says:
CMO:  Engineering does.

PaladineSky says:
::Glad to have the day off, puffs on his pipe in the promenade::

CMO_LtCmdr_Slater says:
::Nods::

PaladineSky says:
<Snowpaws> ::Slurps on his Dr. Pepper::

PaladineSky says:
<Snowpaws> ::Burp::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
Serok:  Social?  Really?  Usually when an Admiral comes to visit, it's a serious condition coming our way.

SO_Ens_Taylor says:
*EO*: The CSO would like to know if it is possable for you to bring some live samples to SCI for control specimens.

S_FCO_W`rong_W`ay says:
<Crewman>: S_FCO: That's Merlin's Pub....   ::Points:: That way... can't miss it

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
::Bangs her head as the comm surprises her:: *SO*: Can you give me a few minutes?  I'm in the middle of replacing some relays.

Rehorne:  Good.  That was my biggest worry.

Host RAdm_Serok says:
CO:  Yes Angus, nothing at all.  I am on.......:: Searches for the correct vernacular again :: ......what you would call a vacation.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
Serok:  Well, welcome Admiral, as always...  Could I interest you in a late lunch?

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
<Lt Rehorne>  CEO:  Now we just have to figure out how they got there, and how to get them off.

CSO_LtJG_Foster says:
::Moves to another station is Science 3 to read progress of scans of Avalon::  CMO:  It looks like the only places we found the filaments are where the "mishaps" occured.

CMO_LtCmdr_Slater says:
CSO: we should set up two sets of controls, see if they are sensitive to heat, light, oxygen, .etc

SO_Ens_Taylor says:
*EO*: What was that bang I just heard?

PaladineSky says:
::Teases 'Paws with a french fry:: "Fluffy bear want a fry?"; <Paws> "Pointed eared hobgoblin want a Hawaiian Punch?"

CMO_LtCmdr_Slater says:
CSO: Mishaps?

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
::Rubs her head as she finishes replacing the relays:: *SO*: Just part of my job.  Nothing to worry about.

CSO_LtJG_Foster says:
CMO:  Great idea.

Host RAdm_Serok says:
CO:  Certainly.  My mate and son will be arriving tomorrow.  That gives me a chance to.........visit with you.

SO_Ens_Taylor says:
::Shrugs:: *EO*: How long do you need?

XO_Cmdr_Rushing says:
::Sighs in relief at the mention vacation from the Admiral::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
Serok:  Great.  ::Motions for TL::  The officer's mess all-right?

CMO_LtCmdr_Slater says:
CSO: What mishaps are you talking about? I was not aware of any mishap.

Host RAdm_Serok says:
CO:  Yes.  That will be fine.

CSO_LtJG_Foster says:
CMO:  For lack of a better word, where machinery isn't functioning properly.

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
::Checks the circuit, sees everything is good, and reroutes power back:: *SO*: Just the time it takes me to get to Engineering, pick up the stuff, and get to where you are.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
Serok:  This way.  XO:  Commander Rushing, will you join us?

SO_Ens_Taylor says:
*EO*: OK, thanks.

PaladineSky says:
::Gives Paws a cigar::

CMO_LtCmdr_Slater says:
CSO: Ah, I rarely get any word down in Sickbay to what is happening on the station.

SO_Ens_Taylor says:
CSO: The EO will be here shortly.

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
::Packs her kit and heads back to Engineering::

XO_Cmdr_Rushing says:
CO:  Certainly.

CEO_Lt_Kinsale says:
*XO* Sir, Rehorne has managed to erect isolation fields around each filament that has been located on the station and all further damage has been halted.  We are still trying to determine how they got on the station.

CSO_LtJG_Foster says:
CMO:  You mean you haven't heard about the replicators?

CMO_LtCmdr_Slater says:
::Rubs hands:: CSO: what do you suggest we use for a control?

Host RAdm_Serok says:
:: Begins to follow the CO :: XO:  Yes Commander, why don't you?

PaladineSky says:
::Eating at McDonalds::

XO_Cmdr_Rushing says:
Admiral:  How is your son these days?

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
::Walks into Engineering as the CEO speaks with the XO:: CEO: Does that mean we can't give some samples to Science?  They are requesting live samples.

Host RAdm_Serok says:
CO:  He is well.

CMO_LtCmdr_Slater says:
::Mumbles under her breath:: Self:  I have to get out more!

CSO_LtJG_Foster says:
CMO:  Well they seem to like engineering relays...why not try that?

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::Smiles dumbly at the Admiral::

CEO_Lt_Kinsale says:
EO: I'm fine with that as long as they're moved around in isolation chambers and are kept away from my station systems.

PaladineSky says:
::Supersizes his meal::

CMO_LtCmdr_Slater says:
CSO: alright.

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
::Nods:: CEO: Understood.  Do you have one here I can take?

Host RAdm_Serok says:
CO:  I would like for you to see him while he is here.  He is growing.

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
<Lt. Rehorne>  CEO:  I'm going to go run some scans of some of the infected sections.  To see if we can get a better understanding of them.

CEO_Lt_Kinsale says:
EO:  See Rehorne about that.  She's got them all catalogued and isolated.

CSO_LtJG_Foster says:
SO:  Can you have Ens Thompson bring some relays where the filaments were found for a controlled study?

CEO_Lt_Kinsale says:
Rehorne:  Good idea.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
Serok:  Yes, I would like that.  I haven't seen him since...  Well, I think since he was born.

PaladineSky says:
::Begins to play the piano in the promenade::

Host RAdm_Serok says:
CO:  Yes I know.  He is a little over a year old now.  He is starting to walk quite well now.

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
CEO: Thanks.  Oh, I fixed the relays on deck 3, junction 21.  Three of them were out.  ::Turns to Rehorne:: Rehorne: Can I get a sample to take to Science?

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:

::Sits at the bar and orders some bourban::

XO_Cmdr_Rushing says:
CO/Admiral:  My son turned 10 just a few weeks ago.

Host RAdm_Serok says:
:: Follows the CO out of the TL ::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
Serok:   I thought Vulcan children could walk sooner than that

CMO_LtCmdr_Slater says:
::Since she is in the CSO's home ground, she doesn't suggest how to proceed::

XO_Cmdr_Rushing says:

Host RAdm_Serok says:
XO:  Indeed Commander.  I would not have thought you to have a son that old.

SO_Ens_Taylor says:
*EO*: The CSO would now also like you to bring some relays where filaments were found.

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
::Watches Rehorne walk out:: CEO: Umm, TK.  I don't think she heard me ::Grins::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::Walks into OL, and spots an empty table, motions Serok and Rushing to the table::

Host RAdm_Serok says:
CO:  He did.  He is just walking very well now.

CEO_Lt_Kinsale says:
EO: ::Glancing up again::  Oh.. uh.. Check Rehorne's PADD here....take your pick of nasties.  Just don't bring 'em back alive.

XO_Cmdr_Rushing says:
Serok:  Seems hard to believe and undoubtedly he will be my only child.

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
*SO*: Of course.  Anything else?  Maybe a chicken sandwich?  ::Still smiling::

CMO_LtCmdr_Slater says:
::Takes a seat at a science station and begins to work out some protocols for testing the specimens::

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
*SO*: I'm on my way to collect a sample, and the relays.  Be there in 3 minutes.

CMO_LtCmdr_Slater says:
CSO/SO: We need to figure out how to kill this off, yes?

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
::Nova walks into the room with Kalinda, a smile on her face, and sits down beside Yanis.::  <Nova>  OPS:  Hey there.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
Claude:  We'd like some menu's please.

CMO_LtCmdr_Slater says:

SO: How soon till we get the sample?

PaladineSky says:
::Pages through magazines::

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
::She cradles the baby.:: <Nova> OPS:  I'm feeling alright, why do you keep on asking me how I'm feeling.  The sentiment is appreciated of course but you sound as if you are expecting something to be wrong.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
<Claude the waiter>  Serok/XO/CO:  Can I get you a beverage?

SO_Ens_Taylor says:
CSO: Should be about 3 minutes.

EO_Ens_Thomson says:
::Enters Science 3, with samples in a containment field and some relays::

Host RAdm_Serok says:
Claude:  Hot tea.  Thank you.

OPS_LtCmdr_Jappic says:
