XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::looks up::  Duty OPS: Open a comm with them please

CEO_Galagar says:
::Notices as the power flux goes back up....::  *XO*: Shields are back at full. CSO: What do 
you mean by that question....?

CMO_Merna says:
#::Maneuvers the shuttle and readjusts it's course.::

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
*CEO*: Understood.

Host CO_KBeth says:
<Duty OPS>: COM: Shuttle: This is the USS Delphyne.  What can we do for you?

FCO_Kalek says:
::enters the TL::  TL: Bridge.

CSO_Syrna says:
CEO: Well... I was hoping you had some technical expertise that I could use for the away mission I am going on. There has been a murder on the planet below.

Host CO_KBeth says:
@*XO*: What is the ETA when the CSO and her team will be ready?

CMO_Merna says:
#::Taps on the console.:: COM: Delphyne: OPS: Hello.  This is Lieutenant Kodar Reez Merna reporting back for duty.  I'm your new Chief Medical Officer. ::Finalizes the flight path to the Delphyne.::

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
*CSO* ETA until you are ready to depart?

CEO_Galagar says:
CSO: Sorry, I don't have any expertise, but if you need a hand I don't mind helping out.

Host FCO_Flynn says:
::Hears the message, raises an eyebrow::

Host CO_KBeth says:
<Duty OPS> XO: Ma'am, it's a Lt Kodar Reez Merna reporting for duty.  he says he's our new CMO.  Shall I clear him for docking?

FCO_Kalek says:
::steps onto the bridge, looks around...  first time on Delphyne's bridge, can almost smile...  almost::

CSO_Syrna says:
::ears the chirp of the badge from the other side of the bridge, turns to the XO:: XO: A moment. I have Rosencrantz and Gildenstearn ready to meet me in the transporter room.

FCO_Kalek says:
::observes there is someone sitting at the FCO's chair... probably a FCO::

CSO_Syrna says:
CEO:: whispers:: I would love to bring you with me, but I cannot come up with a logical reason... perhaps one will come to me while I am on the surface. ::actually smiles at him::

Host CO_KBeth says:
<Duty OPS>: COM: Shuttle: You are cleared to dock, Lt.  Welcome aboard.

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
*CSO*: Understood... remember that we just have to contact the planet and they will do the transporting.

CSO_Syrna says:
::raises her eyebrows a moment as she hears the XO:: XO: Oh! Well then we are ready.

CEO_Galagar says:
CSO: Well if logic does not devise a reason, then your better off without. ::turns and taps on his console::

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
Duty OPS: Inform the planet that the CSO and her team is ready for transport.  *CO*: Ma'am they are on there way.

FCO_Kalek says:
::approaches the woman that seems to be the Executive Officer, glances quickly at the FCO...  can't recognize the species::

CSO_Syrna says:
CEO: I would not agree that I was better off without you.

CMO_Merna says:
#::Pilots the shuttle to the aft section of the U.S.S. Delphyne, then turns to align with the docking bay.:: COM: OPS: Aye.  Thank you.  See you soon. ::Sighs contentedly as he looks over "The Big D".  Hopes her relatively new CEO has taken good care of her.::

#::Activates the RCS thrusters for better maneuvering.:: Self: I hope she doesn't know. ::Smiles with a grin.::

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::takes a moment to smile a bit as it begins to sink in that he is home.::

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::reaches out to his mind::

Host CO_KBeth says:
@*XO*: Good.

Host FCO_Flynn says:
::Smiles to himself wistfully, sad for what was lost, but glad he won't be a complication in her life.::

CSO_Syrna says:
CEO: I would have no other way of being. I merely meant... I hope you know what I meant.

CMO_Merna says:
::Finally lands the shuttle in the shuttle bay.  Then starts the power down sequence.  Sighs a bit regretfully as he remembers his time aboard as CEO.  Smiles and gets up to gather all his gear.::

FCO_Kalek says:
XO:  Excuse me, ma'am.  I am Ensign Kalek.  I am reporting to you now, even though I should have been working for 4 days.

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::raises an eyebrow:: FCO Kalek: Excuse me?  ::looks at Flynn and then back at  new officer::  May I see your orders? ::stands up::

CEO_Galagar says:
CSO: I understand....but we all have a job to do.

Host FCO_Flynn says:
::Glances back and sees the Vulcan.  Wonders who the new guy is...then it dawns on him.::  Self: Uh oh.

CMO_Merna says:
::Steps out of the shuttle and looks around.  Moves out of the way as some crew enter the shuttle to service her.  Slowly walks towards the doors.:: Self: I'm back home.

CSO_Syrna says:
::nods and walks over to the XO::

FCO_Kalek says:
XO:  Of course.  ::hands a PADD to the XO::

Host CO_KBeth says:
@Ambassador: My CSO and her team are ready to transport down.  I believe our OPS will have contacted the Aldean authorities.  I'd like for them to be shown the crime scene as soon as they arrive.

CMO_Merna says:
::Pauses a moment and talks with a Security Officer.  Shows her his orders to report to the U.S.S. Delphyne.  Then proceeds to the TL.:: TL: Bridge.

Host MBenge says:
@CO: Of course.

CEO_Galagar says:
::orders a level 1 diagnostic of all weapon/shield systems:: Self: That should keep them busy for a few hours....

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::looks the orders over:: FCO Kalek: Well this appears to be in order. ::motions for him to follow her as she walks back to the OPS station::

Host MBenge says:
Action: The away team disappears from the TR and appears in Radue's office.

FCO_Kalek says:
::looks around, the bridge seems to be quite empty, he imagines an AT should be taking place::

CMO_Merna says:
::Enters the Bridge and steps in.  Pauses with a great smile and slowly makes his way to the XO... His wife.  Wants to totally surprise her but stands behind her and waits.::

Host CO_KBeth says:
@Ambassador: Is there anyone who would want to harm the science team?  Any threatening action taken against them?

FCO_Kalek says:
::follows the XO::

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
Duty OPS: I need you to contact SB 39-S.  Inquire as to why they have assigned both Flynn and Kalek as the Del’s FCO?

CEO_Galagar says:
::Feels a wave of emotions on the bridge....notices the CMO::

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
<Duty OPS> ::Does so:: Aye ma’am.

Host MBenge says:
@CO: That is what you are here to find out Captain.  There have been no threats against them, at least none that I know of.

CMO_Merna says:
::Smiles as he waits.  Then clears his throat in his own unique way.::

CSO_Syrna says:
@::materializes on the planet::

Host CO_KBeth says:
@::sees the AT appear:: Ambassador/Radue: I'd like to present my CSO.  She and my CTO will be conducting the physical investigations.

CEO_Galagar says:
::Tries to see through that face...it reminds him of someone from a personnel list...he just can't get who though.::

CMO_Merna says:
::Smiles and nods to the others on the Bridge.::

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::turns to the ensign:: FCO: I am sure this is a simple clerical mistake... you see we already have an FCO... ::hears the CMO and knows it is him before she turns to see him::

CSO_Syrna says:
@::nods curtly to the two gentlemen:: Radue/Mbenge: It is nice to meet you.

CEO_Galagar says:
::Now realizes who it is....but why is he wearing blue....::

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::turns, smiles and reaches out to the CMO's mind since it would not be appropriate to do more on the bridge::

FCO_Kalek says:
::raises an eyebrow::  XO:  Indeed.  However, Starfleet orders are clear.  ::looks at the duty FCO again::

CMO_Merna says:
::Smiles with eyes sparkling.:: XO: Hello sir. ::Grins as he hands her his orders.:: Chief Medical Officer Kodar Reez Merna reporting for duty.

FCO_Kalek says:
XO:  I must say I am confused.  It's not logical to assign a FCO to a ship which already has it.

Host FCO_Flynn says:
::Avoids looking at the XO and FCO.  Begins typing in commands to the console::

CEO_Galagar says:
Self: Chief Medical....::Shivers::

Host CO_KBeth says:
@CSO: Has the XO briefed you on what has happened down here?

CSO_Syrna says:
@CO: I would like to see the scene right away, if that is possible. ::hears the CO:: She has.

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::takes the PADD:: CMO: Give me a minute... ::turns to the FCO:: FCO: I agree... if you don't mind... would you please wait in the CO's RR until I have had a chance to clear up this matter?

Host CO_KBeth says:
@CSO: Excellent.

Host CO_KBeth says:
@MBenge: Could someone escort the CSO to the crime scene please?  I'd like to stay and discuss a few things with the both of you.

CIV_Ferrone says:
@::since he's assigned to the CTO, he gets ready to follow the CSO to the crime scene::

CMO_Merna says:
::Nods and steps back.  Looks around and wonders where K’Beth is.  Then thinks he should have read the latest reports, then gets a serious look on his  face.::

FCO_Kalek says:
XO:  Aye.  ::nods and turns, looks quickly for the CO's RR, finds it and heads to there::

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
FCO: Very good... and please make yourself at home in there.  The CO won't mind if you get yourself something to eat.

CNS_Enki says:
@Listening half absent-mindedly... nothing for her to pay attention to yet, except for the same body language::

CSO_Syrna says:
@::is actually eager to go, wonders what was up with N'ka on the bridge... internally sighs::

CEO_Galagar says:
::Walks up to Merna, puts out his hand:: CMO: Your the ex-CEO, I've heard a great deal about you....my name is N'ka; nice to meet you.

Host MBenge says:
@CO: They may use the Custodian's transport system.  Just step into that arch there and state the destination.  The crime scene is officially known as Quarters for Science Team One

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::turns to CMO:: CMO: May I have a word with you? ::motions for him to follow her to a corner::

FCO_Kalek says:
::enters the CO's RR, thinking "Something to eat?  I am not hungry."::

Host CO_KBeth says:
@MBenge: Thank you. ::motions for the CSO and the others to do so::

CMO_Merna says:
::Shakes the CEO's hand.:: CEO: Aye sir.  I was.  Pleased to meet you N'ka.  Kodar Merna at your service.  ::Looks around with a smile.:: Looks like you've kept her in good operational condition.  ::Turns to the XO.::

Host Radue says:
@CO: I would prefer not to involve any more of my people.  If you require a guide I will go.

CMO_Merna says:
::Nods and follows the XO.:: XO: Aye sir.

CEO_Galagar says:
::Walks away, their emotions give away too much as is....goes back to the console and taps, keeping up with his crews progress::

CSO_Syrna says:
@Mbenge: Thank you. ::goes to the transportation arch, waits for every one who is going to stand under it:: TA: Quarters of Science Team One.

CIV_Ferrone says:
@::follows the CSO and CTO along towards the custodian's transport system::

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::grabs his hand and squeezes it gently::  CMO: ::whispers:: We will have to wait on that welcome home kiss...

Host MBenge says:
Action: The away team is instantly transported to the science team's quarters.  As they appear they see...

Host CO_KBeth says:
@Radue: If there is a direct way to get there then a guide won't be necessary.  Thank you.  I'd rather ask you a few questions.

CMO_Merna says:
::Readjusts his gear on his shoulder and stands before the XO.  Returns the squeeze and whispers.:: XO: Yes... ::Sighs softly.:: I've noticed that K’Beth isn't around.  Anything serious?

CNS_Enki says:
@::Perks up as this might be the time to gain some information that is not being said::

CIV_Ferrone says:
@::appears in the science team's quarters, surveying the scene::

CEO_Galagar says:
::Feels overwhelmed by the emotions....tries to focus on the diagnostic::

FCO_Kalek says:
::observes the Captain's Ready Room for a while, then decides to take a seat::

Host MBenge says:
Scene: The room smells of death.  Five bodies lie sprawled on the floor almost at the away team's feet.  Three in a group and two a little way off.

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
CMO... Right now I need you to report to sickbay.  We will be transporting some bodies there that need to be autopsied.  There has been a murder and K'Beth is on the planet trying to find out who did it.

Host MBenge says:
Scene: At least two have horrible head wounds.  Blood pools on the floor.

CIV_Ferrone says:
@::gnashes teeth and looks at the CSO::

CSO_Syrna says:
@::appears in the quarters of team one and would have a horrified expression on her face... if she weren't Vulcan::

CSO_Syrna says:
@::looks at the cadet:: CIV: Please take some tricorder readings on those bodies over there. ::points::

Host Radue says:
@CO: Please, go ahead.  I am happy to help.

Host CO_KBeth says:
@Radue: What time did the party end?

CSO_Syrna says:
@::steps down to look around the rest of the quarters, tricorder at the ready:: CIV: Get a DNA scan of them as well, please.

FCO_Kalek says:
::thinks he's not hungry, but thirsty, stands and heads to the replicator::

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
*CO*: Ma'am... we now have a CMO aboard. ::grins as she doesn't say who::  We can accept those bodies when you are ready.

CSO_Syrna says:
@<Rosencrantz and Gildenstern>::feel sick::

CMO_Merna says:
::Sighs and squeezes her hand again.:: XO: I better go then.  I'll see you later.

CIV_Ferrone says:
@ ::pulls out his tricorder:: CSO: Yes, sir.  ::aims the tricorder at the first body and begins scanning::

Host Radue says:
@::Thinks for a few moments::  CO: About 11:00 last night.  At least, that is when the science team left.  I stayed and the party actually broke up around midnight.

CIV_Ferrone says:
@::starts breathing through his mouth... the smell is awful::

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::nods and smiles before returning to the OPS station.::

FCO_Kalek says:
::orders a glass of water::

CIV_Ferrone says:
@::moves on to scanning the next body::

Host CO_KBeth says:
@::grins a bit as she hears the XO's report:: *XO*: Good....inform the CSO.  I take it that the CMO meets with your approval?

CNS_Enki says:
@::Once they establish a time of death, they may be able to rule out Radue as a suspect if his location can be confirmed at time of death::

CMO_Merna says:
::Exits the Bridge and enters the TL.:: TL: Deck 7. ::Shakes his head.:: Self: Autopsies isn't the way I thought I'd start off...

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
*CO*: ::grins:: Very much so.

CSO_Syrna says:
@::surveys the other rooms::

Host CO_KBeth says:
@*XO*: Have the CSO inform you when the bodies can be moved.

CIV_Ferrone says:
@::moves on to the third and fourth bodies, also taking DNA readings::

CEO_Galagar says:
::Walks over to the XO:: XO: Ma'am do you want me to hold down the bridge so you can follow him?

CMO_Merna says:
::Enters Sickbay, then immediately enters his office and sets his gear down.  Heads over to a locker and pulls out a Doctors coat.  Walks to the main area of Sickbay and calls over a nurse.::  Nurse: I'm Lieutenant Kodar Merna.  Your new Chief.  How are things down here? ::Looks around at the couple of patients.::

Host Radue says:
@CO: Oh, wait, I was mistaken!  The science team left at 10:00 pm.  Not 11:00.

CSO_Syrna says:
@::notes the cameras in all the public areas::

FCO_Kalek says:
::sips it and recycles the glass, then moves to the window::

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
*CO*: Aye ma'am.  ::gives the CEO a stern face:: CEO: I have a duty to do, now if you will excuse me.  ::ends the conversation by turning away as she sees the incoming message from SB::

CMO_Merna says:
<Nurse Band Aid> ::Nods and smiles.:: CMO: Fine.  Oh...  Everything’s set and ready for the autopsies Doctor.  ::Motions over towards autopsy rooms.::  Over there. ::Turns to look at him.:: You use to be our Chief Engineer. ::Laughs quietly.::

Host CO_KBeth says:
@::looks at Radue but decides that he is just nervous:: Radue: And where were you between the end of the party and the time the bodies were found...10:30 wasn't it?

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
*CSO*: We are ready to receive the bodies when ever you are.

CIV_Ferrone says:
@::finishes up the scans:: CSO: Sir, I've completed the scans and recorded the DNA results for your inspection.

CSO_Syrna says:
@::enters a room with a blond woman slumped over her desk, almost jumps at the CIV speaking to her::

CEO_Galagar says:
::Sighs....its not as if they could hide that sort of emotion...he was just trying to be nice....walks back over to his station and taps on the console::

CIV_Ferrone says:
@::sees that he startled the CSO::  Sorry, sir.

CSO_Syrna says:
@CIV: Thank you Cadet. ::her expression is calm::

Host Radue says:
@CO: Well, I left not long after they did.  I was at home when Carish contacted me and told me what he had found.  Oh, it was terrible!  The poor man.  Finding his fiancée like that.  That was around 10:40 I guess.

CMO_Merna says:
Nurse: Yes.. ::Smiles.:: I'll handle the autopsies and I'll need some assistance.  Have the duty nurse handle Sickbay unless it's an emergency.  ::Motions towards the autopsy rooms.:: I'll go have a look around.  Please continue your duties until I call upon you. ::Starts walking away but stops.:: What's your name?

CIV_Ferrone says:
@::feels a twinge in his stomach... the smell is starting to get to him::

CSO_Syrna says:
@::raises an eyebrow in typical Vulcan fashion:: CIV: You have nothing to apologize for.

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::frowns as she reads the message stating that they have never heard of Flynn::  *CO*: I think we have a problem here that will require your attention as soon as you can manage.

FCO_Kalek says:
::wonders what's going on out there::

CMO_Merna says:
<Nurse Band Aid> ::Smiles and walks back to the patient.:: CMO: Nurse Band Aid Doctor.

CIV_Ferrone says:
@::starts to point out that he scared her... but decides to just let it rest:: CSO: Yes, sir.

CSO_Syrna says:
@CIV: Since you are here, you can help me survey this scene as well.

Host CO_KBeth says:
@::smiles:: Radue: Forgive me a moment, please. ::walks over to the other side of the room:: *XO*: What is it?

Host FCO_Flynn says:
::Finishes his work and goes back to monitoring the orbit of the ship.::

CEO_Galagar says:
::Receives a report that weapon systems are functioning normally....they are now checking the shielding systems::

CSO_Syrna says:
@CIV: I will get a visual recording of this scene and you can take the DNA sample from the woman over there. ::points::

CMO_Merna says:
::Smiles and shakes his head.  Then heads to the autopsy rooms.  Enters and looks around.  Then turns on the lights.  Immediately heads to the first bed and turns to the tray next to it.  Looks over all the tools, then starts checking them.::

CIV_Ferrone says:
@::points out on his tricorder::  CSO: It looks like that each of the scientists had been killed by a single shot.  One shot to either the head or chest.  ::looks at the tricorder again::  Looks like a powerful weapon.

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::whisper into her Comm badge:: *CO*: We have an Ensign here that claiming to be our FCO... ::looks at Flynn:: and SB has no record of our current one.

CIV_Ferrone says:
@::looks down at the dead woman::  CSO: Aye, sir.

CSO_Syrna says:
@CIV: Indeed. It is my plan to gather what physical evidence we can as well as make a 3-D model to get a triangulation on the weapon fire.

FCO_Kalek says:
::walks back to the couch and sits::

CIV_Ferrone says:
@::creates a new storage area for the bio readings of the dead woman in front of him and starts scanning::

Host CO_KBeth says:
@::clenches her jaw tightly for a minute:: *XO*: I'm on my way up.

CSO_Syrna says:
@*XO* My apologies. It is a... bit unsettling down here. ::sounds calm:: The bodies will be ready for examination shortly.

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
*CO*: Aye ma’am.

CMO_Merna says:
::Pulls out a tricorder from the last bed.  Then scans the room.  His expression changes from a bit happy to very serious as he starts to focus on his current duty.  Walks over to the main console, then taps his comm badge.:: *XO*:  Everything's ready down here sir. ::Starts to bring up some medical logs.::

Host Radue says:
@CO: So, are there more questions you wish to ask?

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
*CSO*: Understood.

CSO_Syrna says:
@*R&G* Get a visual reading of the entire quarters, starting with the room with the most bodies.

CIV_Ferrone says:
@::completes his scan of the dead woman:: CSO: I'm finished, sir.

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
*FCO*: Please come to the bridge.

CSO_Syrna says:
@<Rosencrantz and Gildenstern>::start recording with the cameras::

CIV_Ferrone says:
@::looks around the scene and heaves a sad sigh::

CSO_Syrna says:
@CIV: Excellent.

Host CO_KBeth says:
@::walks back over to Radue and MBenge:: Radue: Actually I do but there's a slight matter I need to tend to on my ship.  If you don't mind, the Counselor will stay behind to continue.

FCO_Kalek says:
::hears the comm, then stands up and hits his comm badge:: *XO* On my way.

CNS_Enki says:
@::Nods affirmatively::

FCO_Kalek says:
::walks towards the door and leaves the RR as it opens::

CSO_Syrna says:
@::goes around and visually records the area:: CIV: I have finished my visual recording, please move the body.

CMO_Merna says:
::Opens the doors to the autopsy room, then motions for the nurse to come over.::

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::waits for the FCO Kalek to leave the RR:: FCO Flynn: Please report to the CO's Ready Room.

Host CO_KBeth says:
@Radue: If you could transport me back up to my bridge for a few minutes I would appreciate it.

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
*CMO*: Understood. Standby.

CIV_Ferrone says:
@::looks uncertainly at the body:: CSO: sir?

FCO_Kalek says:
::walks towards the XO::  XO:  Ensign Kalek reporting.  May I ask you a question?

CMO_Merna says:
Nurse: Nurse? Have you ever assisted with autopsies before?

Host FCO_Flynn says:
::Stand up, ears droop a little::  XO: Yes ma'am.  ::Walks to the RR::

CEO_Galagar says:
::Finishes the report, everything is nominal....:: Self: Sigh, I hate being so far ahead of schedule....

CSO_Syrna says:
@CIV: It looks like she is slumped over her work. I would like to see what she was working on at the time of her death.

CMO_Merna says:
<Nurse Band Aid> ::Nods with a frown.:: CMO: Yes I have.  I can handle it sir.

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::waits for Flynn to move off to the RR making sure not to make eye-contact. FCO Kalek: Yes

FCO_Kalek says:

CIV_Ferrone says:
@::grits teeth:: CSO: Yes, sir.  ::takes a hold of the woman's shoulders and pulls her into an upright position, so that the desk is now visible::

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::preps a PADD for the CO informing her of the details::

Host CO_KBeth says:
@Radue: Thank you.  ::hands the CNS her PADD::

CMO_Merna says:
::Nods and whispers.:: Nurse: Good.  I think we'll be receiving the bodies soon.  So have another nurse report for duty to take your shift.  I don't know how long this will last.

CNS_Enki says:
@::Takes the PADD:: Radue: You said you were told of the crime at about 10:40.  Who discovered the bodies?

FCO_Kalek says:
XO:  Do you have any preference between ma'am or sir, so I can answer correctly?

Host CO_KBeth says:
@::enters the arch:: TA: Bridge on the USS Delphyne.

CSO_Syrna says:
@CIV: Life in Starfleet is not always pretty or clean. ::notes the blood on the desk and sees the PADD fall onto the floor::

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::finishes and looks up:: FCO: Either is fine but I prefer ma'am.  Now if you would you take your post. ::nods to the FCO spot::

Host Radue says:
Action: The CO is transported to the Delphyne bridge where she appears almost instantly

CSO_Syrna says:
@::walks over and picks up the PADD::

CIV_Ferrone says:
@CSO: Sir, shall I hold her here?  ::looks at the PADD::

CEO_Galagar says:
::Hears a transport, turns, his hand on his phaser::

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:

@::Waits for the Aldean to answer::

Host FCO_Flynn says:
::Waits in the ready room, plays idly with the small, holographic dancer the Orions gave the ship::

FCO_Kalek says:
::sees a person that materialized on the bridge, looks like the captain, another female::

CSO_Syrna says:
@<Rosencrantz and Gildenstern>*CSO* we are finished.

Host CO_KBeth says:
::nods and takes the PADD grimly :: XO: Follow me.

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::nods and follows::

CIV_Ferrone says:
@::looking at the CSO's PADD, but can't see what's on it::

Host Radue says:
@CNS: Oh, umm, Carish.  One of our citizens.  He was engaged to the lead scientist, Dr. Fletcher.

CMO_Merna says:
::Looks up from the console as Nurse Band Aid walks in.:: Nurse: Make sure all the equipment and this room is ready. ::Smiles knowing it is, then turns back his attention back on the console.::

Host CO_KBeth says:
CEO: Since your so quick on the draw Lt. You have the bridge. ::goes into her RR::

FCO_Kalek says:
::notices the CO and XO are heading to the RR, then takes FCO's station::

CEO_Galagar says:
CO: Aye Ma'am.

CSO_Syrna says:
@CIV: These are Doctor Fletcher's notes... I will have to go through these more thoroughly later.

CNS_Enki says:
@Radue: How did he enter the room?  Was the door found open, or did they force their way in?

CMO_Merna says:
<Nurse Band Aid> ::Goes to check on the equipment, then stops and scans the room first.  Then proceeds to check out all the equipment.::

CSO_Syrna says:
@*XO* The bodies are ready to be moved.

Host CO_KBeth says:
::reads the PADD while she is walking and enters the room to see Flynn standing there.  Doesn't say anything, just hands him the PADD and goes to her desk::

Host Radue says:
@CNS: No, he used the Custodian to transport there.  There is a door into their quarters, but it is rarely used.

FCO_Kalek says:
::begins a level 3 diagnostics, since he has no idea how the 'former' FCO dealt with the controls::

CSO_Syrna says:
@CIV: Why do you think this woman was killed here, when the others were killed at the arch?

CNS_Enki says:
@Radue: The Custodian... how many people have access to the Custodian and could have entered the quarters?

CMO_Merna says:
::Looks through the medical files, and says over his shoulder.:: Nurse: How are you progressing? ::Thinks she's about done.::

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::Stands towards the back:: *CSO*: Aye... please see that it gets done... the new CMO is standing by.

CMO_Merna says:
<Nurse Band Aid> ::Smiles and finishes with the last set of tools and equipment.:: CMO: Just finished. ::Moves over toward the first bed.::

CEO_Galagar says:
::Turns and watches the crew work on the bridge; isn't very often that he is on a bridge shift.::

CIV_Ferrone says:
@CSO: Perhaps the killer transported in here first and killed the woman before she could do anything.

Host Radue says:
@CNS: Well, ::sounds a little surprised::  We all have access to it.  And anyone could transport there.  We have a very open society.

CSO_Syrna says:
*TRCHIEF* We have several bodies.... six to beam directly to sickbay.

CIV_Ferrone says:
@CSO: Or the killer arrived by the archway, killed the four with the weapon, which did not make any sound, then found the woman busy at work.

Host Radue says:
@CNS: Oh!  Do you mean who could access the Custodian's controls?

CIV_Ferrone says:
@CSO: I think the first is more likely than the second.

FCO_Kalek says:
::notices the console is set to default mode::

CEO_Galagar says:
<TRC> ::Locks onto the bodies, and transports them to SB:: *CSO*: Aye Ma'am.

CNS_Enki says:
@Radue: Yes, who could have used the Custodian to enter the quarters.

CMO_Merna says:
::Stops and informs the Transporter Chief to send the bodies to the autopsy room.::

XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::walks over and stands beside the desk so that she can see both Flynn and the CO::

CSO_Syrna says:
@CIV: I quite agree with you. As the people in the front looked surprised.

Host CO_KBeth says:
::sits down on the edge of her desk: Flynn: Would you like to explain that?

FCO_Kalek says:
::begins reorganizing the flight routines to his own configuration::

CMO_Merna says:
<Nurse Band Aid> ::Sees the bodies appear.:: CMO: They're here Doctor. ::Grabs the nose spread and spreads some under her nose.  Then walks over to the Doctor with it.  Then dabs a bit under his nose.::

CIV_Ferrone says:
@::open his tricorder and takes a scan for a transporter trace in the woman's workroom::  CSO: Sir, I'm going to scan for any signs of a transporter beam.

FCO_Kalek says:
::checks the Delphyne current position::

CSO_Syrna says:
@CIV: I believe the attacker surprised the people at the archway as they arrived from the party.

CIV_Ferrone says:
@CSO: You're probably right, sir.  I'm not getting any transporter readings here.  ::looks a bit crestfallen::

CSO_Syrna says:
@CIV: Good thinking, but this is Aldea, the custodian runs everything. ::points at the cameras::

CSO_Syrna says:
@CIV: I think we need to access the visual data from those recording devices.

CIV_Ferrone says:
@::looks at the cameras::

Host FCO_Flynn says:
::Studies the PADD for a moment.  CO: Um, clerical error?

FCO_Kalek says:
::notices the Del is on a geo synchronous orbit::

Host Radue says:
@CNS: Why, anyone!

CSO_Syrna says:
@CIV: And perhaps the transporter records from the arch. Who arrived before the science team?

CNS_Enki says:
@Radue: Do you know of anyone who was openly hostile towards the Science team?

CMO_Merna says:
<Nurse> ::Moves behind the Doctor and gets ready to quickly assist the Doctor.::

Host CO_KBeth says:
Flynn: A clerical error that not only says that you don't exist but your entire species?  I want the truth, Flynn...now.

CIV_Ferrone says:
@CSO:  Sir...  ::checks the data::  I'm going to check the scans and determine who was killed first... ::looks at the woman and the four other bodies::

FCO_Kalek says:
::hits his comm badge::  *CEO* Chief Engineer, this is helm.

CSO_Syrna says:
@::nods:: CIV: Good idea. ::would smile but she is Vulcan::

CEO_Galagar says:
::looks over to the FCO:: FCO: Errr, I'm right here.

CIV_Ferrone says:
@CSO: Maybe this is something better left to the doctors... :: fumbles through the data, trying to figure out which person was killed first::

CEO_Galagar says:
::Walks over to the FCO:: FCO: So what can I do for you?

Host Radue says:
@CNS: No.  No one.  Oh, the pro-Romulan and Home Front factions did not want them here, but they were never hostile.

FCO_Kalek says:
::turns and sees the man, raises an eyebrow::  CEO:  I apologize.  I am Ensign Kalek, the new FCO.

CSO_Syrna says:
@CIV: Let me show you a subtle trick with the tricorders. May I? ::holds her hand out to receive the tricorder::

CMO_Merna says:
::Quickly moves to the first autopsy bed.  Looks over the patient and does an initial scan, more for identification purposes.  Then motions to the Nurse to start the diagnostic scan to determine the death.::

CIV_Ferrone says:
@::hands the CSO the tricorder::

CEO_Galagar says:
FCO: Nice to meet you Ensign, I'm Lt N'ka Galagar.

CNS_Enki says:
@Radue: Can you give me the names of anyone prominent in those factions or anyone else who had problems with the Science Team?

Host FCO_Flynn says:
CO: The truth....Yes, the truth.  ::Sighs::  Alright.  ::Sits down and looks at the CO::  CO: A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...

CMO_Merna says:
::Looks over the body again, then to the tricorder.:: Nurse: I read death approximately 14 hours ago. ::Looks to her.::

CSO_Syrna says:
@::works so the Cadet can see how she accesses the data:: CIV: If you look here, push these buttons... you can see the different rates of decomposition on the bodies scanned.

FCO_Kalek says:
::nods::  CEO:  I would like a report for thrusters, impulse engines, and warp engines.  This is my first duty and I need to be aware about my tools.

CMO_Merna says:
<Nurse Band Aid> ::Nods.:: CMO: I concur. ::Moves over towards the tool tray.::

CIV_Ferrone says:
@::looking keenly at the tricorder::

Host Radue says:
@CNS: Certainly.  In fact, I have already informed them that you may wish to speak with them.  ::Goes to his desk and retrieves a small note pad device.:: Here.

CEO_Galagar says:
::Whips out a PADD, and presses a few buttons...hands it to the FCO:: FCO: Done, this should give you all the information you need.

FCO_Kalek says:
CEO:  Thank you sir.  ::turns and faces his console again::

CNS_Enki says:
@::Takes the note pad device, hoping it's in Federation Standard and prepares her next question::

CEO_Galagar says:
FCO: Very well ::Turns back to his station::

Host Radue says:
