XO_Russ_Horn says:
::On the bridge::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::in the ship's transporter room, analyzing the transporter logs::

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
::On the bridge.::

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::in Sickbay running micro-cellular tests and a battery of other exams on several colonists::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
<TR Chief>  ::looking over the CSO's shoulder::  CSO:  That's not much help is it?

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
TR Chief:  That's an understatement.  ::stretches and rubs eyes::  I need a break.  ::stands::  Gonna go get some chow.

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::tapping several buttons on the medical tricorder to access the patients Starfleet Medical records and compares them::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::stands up and leaves transporter room::

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::Alex stands behind her and offers her a cup of coffee::

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
*CMO*:  Have all the colonists been restored?

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
*CO*: I have 174 live colonists, 25 that are deceased........only one is missing.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::crosses the corridor and enters the mess hall, moves to replicator::  Computer:  Pasta recipe number 45, a glass of ice water.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::gets plate and glass off replicator pad and sits down at a table, starts to eat::

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
*CMO*:  What of that centaur that beckoned to us from a hill on the planet?  Has it been located and scanned?

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
Alex: thanks, I hope its a double shot of caffeine::

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
*CO*: I must say that I haven't had much time to do scans of the surface with all the tests I've been running down here on the colonists, Ma'am.

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
*CMO*:  I understand.

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
*CO* Slater out.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::rubs his head, just behind both ears::

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
<Alex>: Vic, you bet, a double shot should keep you bouncing off the walls for another twenty four hours.

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::takes a welcomed ship of the hot coffee and smiles at Alex:: Alex: I'll need it too.  Too many tests, not enough time.......::picks up another padd::

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
<Alex>: Victoria, when was the last time you took a meal?

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
*CSO*:  Which transporter pattern has left to be matched to an animal on the planet?

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::looks up from the padd:: Alex: I don't even know what day it is, or what time it is.  If I'm hungry, I'll eat......now leave me alone, please.

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
<Alex> Vic: Okay, okay.......don't get ya knickers in a twist, I'll going.....::voice trails behind him::

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
XO:  Will we be able to return the colonists to the planet?

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::taps com badge and speaks with a mouth full of food::  *CO*:  I'm not in the transporter room, Ma'am.  But if memory serves, the only colonist not accounted for was, or is the leader of the bunch.

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
*CSO*:  Thank you and enjoy your meal.  Sorry to interrupt you.

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::sighs and tosses the padd on the growing pile on her small desk::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
*CO*:  Anytime, sir.

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::stands and walks over to the doorway to Sickbay and watches her staff for a moment::

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
::looks over to the XO as to why he hasn't responded to her question and finds him with his eyes shut, sitting in his chair.::

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::stifles a jaw breaking yawn and can't remember the last time she got a good nights sleep.............::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::finishes scarfing down his dinner, then gets up, and starts off for the bridge::  *TR Chief*:  Chief Milo, I'll be on the bridge, keep running those logs and let me know if anything turns up.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
<TR Chief>  *CSO*:  Aye sir.

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::looking down at the floor for a moment, she recalls the last good nights sleep .........was months ago, before Paladine left her.  She turns and returns to her desk and buries herself in her reports once more, trying to forget::

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
Clears her throat while staring at the XO.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::enters TL::  TL: Bridge!

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
XO:  Excuse me Russ?

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::enters bridge, about a minute later::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::assumes the science station, looks over displays after relieving the duty SO::

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::stares at the one item she allowed herself the luxury of bringing from Avalon, a red magma lamp sits upon her desk, the lava creating pleasing shapes before her eyes::

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
::walks over to the XO and pokes him on the shoulder just to see if he's alive.::

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
::notices the CSO enter.::

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
::walks over to the CSO::

Host Jules says:
ACTION:  A message is coming in.

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::her eyes grow heavy watching the lamp::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::nods to the CO, notices a flashing light::  CO:  we are being hailed Captain.

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
CSO:  Send it through.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::cues the inbound signal::  CO:  On screen

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::turns to face the screen::

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::her head nods slightly towards her chest::

XO_Russ_Horn says:
CO: Sorry captain, I was just very deep in thought.

Host Jules says:
<Admiral_Eiluj> CO: Captain, I have word from the top brass.

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
XO:  I can understand that, we've been so wrapped in with these colonists.  I suggest we all take some R&R once we have been cleared to leave this planet.

XO_Russ_Horn says:
CO: If the doctor is able to neutralize the cause of the transformations I don’t see any reason that they couldn’t go back.

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::Alex steps quietly into the CMO's office and hears the CMO snoring ever so lightly, her head bent forward::

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
Admiral Eiluj: Com:  What does the top brass have for us?

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
<Alex> ::backs out and closes the door as not to disturb the CMO.  If he could, he would recommend that she take at least a 6 hour break from her duties::

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
::goes back to her seat.::

Host Jules says:
<Admiral_Eiluj> COM: CO: You have done well, retrieving the colonist and returning them to normal.  But, until someway to neutralize the effect can be found and the animals returned to normal, the planet is forbidden.

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
<Alex>: ::smiles slightly as the tranquilizer he placed in Vic's coffee will at least give her an hours nap::

XO_Russ_Horn says:
CO: There is still the matter of the missing colonist.

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
COM:  Admiral Eiluj:  We still have one colonists unaccounted for.  It is the colony's leader, Rotand.

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::her head jerks up, her eyes open slightly..........can't keep them open.....so she leans her head back and slightly in the direction of her right shoulder and closes her eyes once more::

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::her last thought before she falls into a deep sleep is.........I'll get you Alex and your little dog too!::

Host Jules says:
<Admiral_Eiluj> COM: CO: At this point, I would say he is dead with the others.  But, at least do one final sweep of the planet to try and locate him.  Under no circumstances are any of your crew to return to the planet.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::overhears, and sets up the sensor array for another pass over the planet::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::initiates a multi-spectrum scan of the planet surface::

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
<Alex> ::notices the CMO sleeping soundly in her office and decides that she would get more rest if he placed her on the biobed in the one private exam room they have::

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
COM:  Admiral Eiluj:  Are you saying that we have been cleared to leave?  Is the Federation sending science vessels to aid with this planet?  We have 174 animals that need a home.  We do not want to risk them to further exposure on this planet.

Host Jules says:
<Admiral_Eiluj> COM: CO: Did I not make that clear Captain?

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
<Alex>::walks in and picks-up the sleeping CMO and places her in the private exam room.  He gently covers her sleeping form and steps into her office to finish her reports::

Host Jules says:
<Admiral_Eiluj> COM: CO: Yes, you are cleared.  You may remain long enough to transfer the animals to one of the science vessels.

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
COM:  Admiral Eiluj:  Thank you Admiral.  How long will it take for the vessel to get to us?

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
Self:  I just want to go home, I'm tired of this wigged out freaky place.

Host Jules says:
<Admiral_Eiluj> COM: CO: 24 hours Captain.

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
COM:  Admiral Eiluj:  Thank you.  We will have the animals, colonists and all corresponding reports ready for their arrival.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::checks sensor feed on the main cargo hold::

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::rolls over in her sleep, looking for Paladine::

Host Jules says:
<Admiral_Eiluj> COM: CO: Very good Captain.  Oh, and Captain, you will have a new Chief Tactical Officer when you return to Avalon.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::ears perk up::  Self:  New?

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
<Alex> ::finishes up with the padd's and begins a report for the XO::

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
COM:  Admiral Eiluj:  Thank you Admiral.

Host Jules says:
<Admiral_Eiluj> COM: CO: You are Welcome Captain.  Eiluj out.

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
<Alex> ::completes his report, short and concise and sends it through channels for the XO's attention::

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
*Crew*:  We have been cleared to return to Avalon Station once a science vessels meets up with us in 24 hours.  We are to turn over to them all the animal, colonists and all reports to this encounters on this planet.

XO_Russ_Horn says:
CO: We have twenty hours to find the missing man.

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
<Alex> ::looks up at the CO's announcement and smiles as the CMO won't have to do her report, as he's already sent it through channels to the XO's panel::

XO_Russ_Horn says:
::Returns to his station and notices a message for him::

XO_Russ_Horn says:
::Opens it::

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
XO:  If that is even possible.

XO_Russ_Horn says:
CO: Of course it is.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::as the ship finishes its last orbit, the multi-spectrum scan is complete, computer begins to sort the data:::

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
XO:  I would hate to disappoint the colonists by not finding their leader.

XO_Russ_Horn says:
CO: He is either dead or still transformed, I would bet on transformed.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::watches as the sensor telemetry is displayed::

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::rolls over again, hears muted voices coming from a distance,......doesn't care and falls back to sleep again::
