Deep Space 102 Mission Transcript - 11108.05

Previously on DS102:

The crew has just departed the station for the Badlands on the USS Scorpius on what has been termed a mission of scientific research. However, senior staff knows that the purpose of the mission is much more serious...

Let's join them as they are about 5 minutes out from the badlands...

SC_Capt_Marek says:
::sitting at a secondary console, with a worried expression on his usually poker face, lot of things going through his mind right now::
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::At station monitoring the area::
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
::On the Bridge at a spare console, sitting back and enjoying the nice peaceful atmosphere .. for now.::
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
::At OPS console listening to the comm traffic::
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::getting a feeling of anxiety at the possibility of a battle::
FCO_LtJG_Raash says:
::on the Bridge watching the plasma storms on sensors, trying to get a feel for the area::
CO_Yo`Ghi says:
:: sitting in his chair on the Bridge::
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::In engineering, monitoring the ships systems::
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::re aligning the tactical sensors to get a read::
CO_Yo`Ghi says:
CTO: How far can we get a good scan through these storms?
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
*CMO*: So, Doctor. Did you get the results back from that test you ran on me this morning?
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
*CEO*: Actually, I did. I did not want to disturb you because I knew we were headed off on a mission. I know how you like to keep your engines running smoothly. If you have a minute, I'll join you in engineering, or if you would like, you can come to the bridge.
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: Only a few 100 kilometers into the storms, if we were able to get close to teh edge of teh storms I would be able to scan the Cardassian territory more clearly
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: runs through all the sup-space frequencies checking for any encoded messages from Cardassian space::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::overhears the Captain asking the CTO::
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
*CMO*: I will join you on the Bridge. The ship seems to be running smoothly at the moment. See you shortly.
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
*CEO*: See you soon, Faith out.
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::Turns engineering over to Lt Jg Jones, then heads off to the Bridge::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::stands up and go next to OPS console::
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: sees the SC move next to him:: SC: Captain.
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::Enters a turbolift:: Computer: Bridge.
FCO_LtJG_Raash says:
CO: Permission to slow to impulse as we get through the storms, Sir.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
OPS: Commander. The calm before the storm, eh? ::raises an eyebrow::
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
SC: you could say that Sir. Personally, I am hoping that we can avoid the storm altogether.
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::Feels the lift stop as it arrives at the Bridge. When the doors open, exits the lift, and goes to the engineering console:: Computer: Transfer engineering to this station.
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
::Overhears the conversation on the Bridge, and prepares herself mentally for the "storm"::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
OPS: ::nods::
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::Turns, and quietly walks towards the CMO::
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
::Smiles at the approaching CEO.:: CEO: Gosh, it seems like I haven't seen you in weeks. ::Points to a chair.::
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::trying to narrow the scan and pulls power from reserves to get a better picture of what is ahead::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::gets next to the Captain's chair::
CO_Yo`Ghi says:
FCO: Make it so
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: checks to see if he can find any odd styles of communications::
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CMO: Feels like months to me. ::Sits down::
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
OPS: Can you give me more power to the tactical sensors?
CO_Yo`Ghi says:
CTO: Understood
FCO_LtJG_Raash says:
CO: Aye Sir. ::slows to impulse and begins to navigate into the Badlands::
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
CEO: How are you feeling?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO: So, Captain, now it is wait and see...
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CMO: The truth, or should I make it appear that all is fine?
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CTO: I will do the best I can :: reroutes more power to the tactical sensors:: You might also want to tie in the Science sensors as well.
CO_Yo`Ghi says:
FCO: Set a course that will get the Scorpius closer to the Cardassian space, just not in a straight line
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
OPS: I was just doing that, thank you very much. ::getting aggravated with the OPS suggestion::
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
::Smiles warmly.:: CEO: You know I prefer honestly, ::whispers:: my dear.
FCO_LtJG_Raash says:
CO: Yes, Captain, laying in a "where in the heck are they going" course. ::smiles and lays in a course::
CO_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: At first we'll need to get in a position to see something else than clouds
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CMO: Well, I am managing as long as nobody asks me to take a deep breath.
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
CEO: Okay, do you want me to come right out and say it, or do you want me to beat around the bush?
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CMO: To coin a phrase, you know I prefer honesty.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Regarding our cover, I think we should be asking our Science Department to be sure to use and abuse of sensors readings once we reach our destination.
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
CEO: All righty then. ::Takes a deep phrase.:: The testing I did proved to be very useful. The good news is that you are not going to die. The bad news is that we are going to need to fumigate your quarters.
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: runs a check on the power allocations through out the ship::
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
::Pats him on the back.:: CEO: You have bugs; insects to be exact. We'll probably have to do a sweep of engineering too.
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
;:overhears the CEO and CMO:: CMO/CEO: Perhaps, a conversation about person hygiene would be better left discussed in private and not for all to hear.
CO_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: I was thinking about probes
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO: ::raises an eyebrow:: I think that will make more sense.
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
CTO: Actually, I think it was something we all might have picked up while on the station. Your quarters may need to be fumigated as well. On a side note, the insect bites won't affect you as much as it does a Trill, who happens to be highly allergic to insect bites.
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::hears the SC and CO:: SC/CO: Preparing probe now.
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::Still trying to comprehend having bugs::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::turns and nods to the CTO::
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CMO: I assure you I am no earthly canine and have no need to debug my quarters.
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CMO: So, what part of these bugs is causing me trouble breathing?
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::having a probe loaded with full sensors LRS and SRS and programmed to drop beacons to transmits data along its route::
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
CTO: Well, then, that's okay by me. They can all stay in your quarters. ::Turns her attention back to the CEO.::
CEO: The breathing part is caused by the allergic reaction when the bugs bite. Luckily, we have medicines to counter-act the reactions from the bugs.
CO_Yo`Ghi says:
OPS: Send a note to the launch tube to prepare scientific probes for launch
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Aye Captain. I take it you want them on a wide field scan setting and not pinpoint setting?
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CMO: Just make sure the symbiot is ok.
FCO_LtJG_Raash says:
CO: Our route will have us near the edge of Cardassian space in a few minutes, Captain.
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
::over hears the CTO's remark:: CTO: Hey don't look at me I had my flea dip before we came on the ship.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::stands and watches the stars colorful path on the main screen::
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
OPS: That would explain the problem I am having with my sinuses.
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
OPS/SC/CO: Probe ready.
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
CEO: Your symbiot is fine; and we caught this early. As long as we treat the condition and resolve the issue, there are no long-lasting damages. It also explains why the biochemical connection between you and your symbiot was a bit "off".
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CMO: It's annoying when I can't tell what that worm is thinking.
CO_Yo`Ghi says:
CTO: Lieutenant, keep an eye for Cardassian military ships, probes or listening posts
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
::Snickers:: CEO: I bet. I already gave you a antihistamine hypo for the allergic reaction. That hypo was time-released, so you won't need any more injections, but if we don't get the bugs resolved, the problem will return. Do I have your permission to send in a couple of medics to fumigate your quarters?
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: Aye sir.
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CMO: Sure. I will just stay on your couch until the air clears.
FCO_LtJG_Raash says:
::continues their course::
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
CEO: And when we get done with your quarters, we have to do mine; beings you and I spend a good bit of time together. So then I guess I'll be using your couch. ::Smiles.::
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CMO: Of course. Just let me clean the place first.
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
CEO: How's the itching?
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CMO: Not bad. How long will my skin be peeling?
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: makes another sweep through the Subspace frequencies::
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
CEO: It should clear up within a day or two. If you use the cream I gave you, that should minimize the peeling. You are using it, right? The cream?
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CMO: Yes. I am using it. The Cream. Using it.
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Captain the probes are ready to launch when ever you are ready.
FCO_LtJG_Raash says:
CO: Our course is near the Cardassian edge. Shall I continue at impulse or slow down, Captain? How much time do we need?
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: Shall I go to active scans toward there space?
CO_Yo`Ghi says:
FCO: Continue, we don't want to look suspicious
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
CEO: Good. ::Sits there for a minute before speaking.:: So... I'll be sending a medic to your quarters today. It will take 24 hours, so unless we are on an away mission, you can stay with me. Quarters are a bit cramped here, but we'll be fine. I've already alerted the station to have both of our quarters sprayed.
CO_Yo`Ghi says:
CTO: Active scan all around us, hoping they believe that we are indeed in a scientific exploration
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: Aye sir, going to full active scans.
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CMO: Doc is this something that we need to have done to the whole station or is it just located in your two's quarters?
FCO_LtJG_Raash says:
CO: Understood, Sir. Just thinking that with the storms, slowing could be understandable if it was temporary.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Wonders how much time until we hear from our... jumpy friends from across the borders. ::raises an eyebrow::
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CMO: Ok, sounds good. Thanks.
FCO_LtJG_Raash says:
::adjusts their course to keep them near the edge as long as possible without slowing::
CO_Yo`Ghi says:
OPS: Let's generate some "chatter" transmit science probes data to DS-102, if they intercept the transmission, it will add credibility to our pretext
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::keeping a close eye on sensors looking for anything::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
;;goes to auxiliary tactical console and brings it online::
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
SC: Nothing on sensors as of yet.
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
OPS: The majority of the issue was centralized in Commander Mahl's quarters. But it would not hurt to release a spray throughout the ship.
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Aye Captain. :: sends a science report to the station over an open frequency::
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CMO: Where did these bugs come from? I shower daily, and don't leave food laying around.
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CMO: And I take it that the spray is not harmful to the Crew?
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
CEO: Honestly, I'm not sure. They seem to like your bed though. We'll probably have to replace the bedding.
OPS: The spray is not harmful to the crew at all. It would probably not have been noticed at all, except that the Commander was having problems communicating with his symbiot. Turns out Trills are highly allergic to insect bites.
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CMO: Very good Doc. :: has the ventilations system distribute the spray through out the ship::
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CMO: It's one thing to have bugs in the engineering systems, but it’s totally different to have bugs in your bed.
FCO_LtJG_Raash says:
::continues working quietly, trying to keep her mind on her work instead of the Doctor's dissertation on bugs::
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
CEO: Tell me about it, but at least the bugs won't survive long.
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: Is there anything specific we are looking for?
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::reading through recent reports notices several interesting items that she needs to follow up on::
CO_Yo`Ghi says:
CTO: Increased military activity on the Cardassian side
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
CEO: It would have been cheaper to get a monkey.
CO_Yo`Ghi says:
OPS/CTO: Scan the communications, particularly if they are encrypted
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: If we find them perhaps we can send them the CEO's bugs
