CMO_Hunter says:
*CSO*: Doc, its Hunter I’m ready to receive the information when you have it.

XO_Tarrez says:
::prepares to receive any data from the Da'Varain in a isolated section of the main computer::

CSO_Syrna says:
@*CMO*: Understood. I am working on that now.

Host Modex says:
@CSO/ CO: You will work with doctor Crassus on this problem.  You will not leave our infirmary and you will not touch any of the consoles.  Crassus' orderlies will assist you.  Guards will be placed outside.  For your protection.  Some of the crew still believe you are responsible for this virus.

CSO_Syrna says:
@::raises an eyebrow:: Self: That is highly illogical....

CNS_Enki says:
::Tries to open a comm link to the security officers still on the Sha'arik::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@Modex: Wait.  I still have two of my men over on the other ship.  I would like them brought here to be treated.

CTO_Hawkes says:
<CPO_Stiles> ::checks to make sure he can still blip the shields in case of emergency beam out of their people::

CMO_Hunter says:
<Computer>: No Virus Detected.

CMO_Hunter says:

EO_Stanky says:
::is somewhat disoriented at having to take responsibility of engineering::  

CSO_Syrna says:
@::walks over to Crassus:: Crassus: I am interested in getting started. Time is of the essence.

CNS_Enki says:
::Reaches the security officers on the Warbird, and asks how they're doing, and if there's anything she can do to help them::

XO_Tarrez says:
*EO*: Please make sure to keep an eye on the Stasis Pods... I do not want to expose this ship to anything.

TO_T`Rail says:
::runs scans on the surrounding space too see if there are any uninvited guests::

Host Modex says:
@CO: And I have thirty there.  And two thousand here.  All will be treated as soon as a cure is found.

CMO_Hunter says:
*EO*: I need someone down here to keep an eye on this pod…I’m reading intermittent power failures

EO_Stanky says:
::stands with fists on hips, looking around engineering:: Right, you're all mine.

Host Crassus says:
@CSO: Of course.  I am also anxious to begin.  Bring the data you have on the virus over here and we shall start.  We have updated files on the Pseeliad viruses...

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@Modex:: My men are in a more advanced stage than yours.  They need medicine and treatment.  Beam them straight over here to your sickbay.  They will make good candidates for your doctors to work on.

EO_Stanky says:
*CMO* well...  right on my way.

CSO_Syrna says:
@*CMO*: I need you to download to my PADD the latest information from sickbay that you have.

XO_Tarrez says:
*CMO*: Mr. Hunter, anything on those biofilters?

EO_Stanky says:
::jumps into the turbolift, riding it to the pod::

Host Modex says:
@CO: No.  Our records indicate that the virus kills within a matter of days.  Your men will live long enough to see a cure, or none of us will.  And, in any case, I will allow no more Starfleet personnel onto my ship.  Now, I must return to the bridge.

CSO_Syrna says:
@Crassus: Have your transporter filters buffers identified this yet?

CTO_Hawkes says:
<CPO_Stiles> ::looks over at the TO :: TO: Sir, any orders?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@::stands up:: Modex: Then let me go back and stay with them.

CSO_Syrna says:
@::waits patiently on the CMO's data::

CMO_Hunter says:
*XO*: Nothing yet Ma'am....I need to make sure they filters will recognize the Virus first.

CTO_Hawkes says:
<CPO_Stiles> ::keeps one eye on TAC2::

XO_Tarrez says:
::hears the CSO and tries to help the CMO::  *CMO/CSO*: I can do that. ::sends the information to the CSO::

TO_T`Rail says:
CPO: Keep an eye on the shields n weapons

CTO_Hawkes says:
<CPO_Stiles> TO: Aye, aye sir. ::returns his full attention to Tac2::

EO_Stanky says:

CSO_Syrna says:
@::sees information flowing into her PADD:: Crassus: You may look at this, as you need to.

TO_T`Rail says:
XO: Sensor sweeps  show nothing on long range sensors and  Romulan space is clear also .

EO_Stanky says:
::arrives in Sickbay, looking around for the CMO::

CSO_Syrna says:
@::hands Crassus the PADD, keeping an eye on him and it::

Host Modex says:
@CO: You were intent in coming here.  Now you wish to leave?  I do not have time for this.  I asked for two medical personnel to come here to assist my physician.  You obviously felt you could be of use here.  So, assist.  I am not running a tour service.  ::Turns and exits Sickbay::

XO_Tarrez says:
::nods:: TO: Thank you sir.  Keep you eyes out for anything.

CTO_Hawkes says:
<CPO_Stiles> ::quietly checks on the status of the reaction forces::

Host Crassus says:
@CSO: Takes the PADD::  Ah, I see.  ::Looks over the data, frowning.::

CMO_Hunter says:
::turns from the control panel:: EO: the pods are in there ::points into the room:: I have a level 5 containment field around it...please make sure you use an EVA suit I don’t want you infected as well.

CSO_Syrna says:
@::tries to read his thoughts as he frowns::

Host Serela says:
@::Watches the activities in Sickbay, and moves to assist the CSO and Crassus.::

EO_Stanky says:
::absently licking one of his incisors:: CMO: I hear ya, doc.  

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@::mutters under her breath that for someone stupid enough to ignore quarantine warnings, Modex is sure touchy.  Walks or better yet staggers over to the CSO:: CSO: Anything?

EO_Stanky says:
::heads on over to the EVA suits and begins the arduous task of dressing::

CMO_Hunter says:
::points to the last pod:: EO: that’s the pod there, it contains our Cadet...so be gentle.

CSO_Syrna says:
@CO: Crassus, ::motions toward the Romulan doctor:: Is looking at our data.

Host Crassus says:
@::Nods at the CO.::  CO/CSO: This is Lieutenant Serela.  Assistant Science Officer.  She will assist us with our research.

EO_Stanky says:
::pulls on a pant leg and looks back:: CMO: No worries.  I'll be niiiice and gentle.

EO_Stanky says:
::continues dressing:

CSO_Syrna says:
@::nods at Serela, looks at her somewhat expectantly:: Serela: It is nice to meet you.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@::leans heavily against a biobed and nods to Serela:: CSO/Crassus:  Is there anything that we can send over to my two men I left behind to help ease their symptoms?

XO_Tarrez says:
::moves to stand next to the CNS and whispers::  CNS: Did you have any reservations about my sending the CSO over to the Da'Varain?

Host Crassus says:
@CO/CSO:  Interesting data you have.  This virus has been modified from its last reported strain.  It is now quite virulent and capable of being transmitted via the air.  Fascinating..

CNS_Enki says:
XO: Beyond the risk of exposing her, not really.  Did you, ma'am?

Host Serela says:
@CSO: I am well.  For now.  How can I be of assistance?

CSO_Syrna says:
@Crassus: Fascinating indeed... Now, how do we rectify this thing from doing more damage to the bodies it has presently infected?

EO_Stanky says:
::finishes dressing, enters the "airlock" between the sickbay and the contaminated area::

XO_Tarrez says:
::turns to watch the bridge crew:: CNS: At the time no, but now... ::pauses:: now I am starting to doubt it.  I am wondering if I let my personal reasons interfering with my professional judgment.

CSO_Syrna says:
@Serela: At present I am uncertain.

TO_T`Rail says:
CPO: What’s  the power reading on the shields?

CSO_Syrna says:
@Crassus: Do you suspect someone tampered with the original virus?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@ Crassus: Yes, that is fascinating, but my men...  Is there anything we can send to them to ease the symptoms.

Host Crassus says:
@CO: You may have your doctors send them analgesics or any other treatments for the various flu strains, that should help.

CMO_Hunter says:
::runs a test to see if Radiation therapy will kill the Virus::

EO_Stanky says:
::steps up to the cadet's pod, pulls his tricorder out...  checking on the pod's power supply::

CTO_Hawkes says:
<CPO_Stiles> TO: Shields still maintaining 100% power and efficiency. Frequency well within standard operating parameters for a Romulan threat.

CNS_Enki says:
XO: Oh?  ::Tries to get the Commander to go on:: About your mother, Commander?

CSO_Syrna says:
@Crassus: Look here. ::points in the data to the current remedy that they have on the Pselliad virus:: Do you think this could be altered?

XO_Tarrez says:
CNS: Yes. ::checks the life signs of all the AT on both ships::

EO_Stanky says:
::looks inside the pod and gasps::

CMO_Hunter says:
::eyes widen as the radiation kills the virus....but the levels will also kill the patient,…sits back and sighs::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@Crassus: Thank you. ::wobbles over to one side and sits back down on the stool.  Hits her comm badge::

EO_Stanky says:
::he never realized that the cadet was so good-looking::

EO_Stanky says:
::is suffering from a severe case of envy::

CMO_Hunter says:
*XO* I just ran a test to see if radiation therapy would kill the virus....it works...but it will also kill the patient.

EO_Stanky says:
::turns his attention back to checking the power levels of the pods::

Host Crassus says:
@CSO: I do not think so.  ::Looks thoughtful then makes a decision::  I was told to find a cure, no matter the cost.  Come with me.

XO_Tarrez says:
::Sees no major changes:: *CMO*: That doesn't seem to me like that information is very helpful Mr. Hunter.  I need you to do better.

CMO_Hunter says:
::runs another test too see if lower levels of radiation over a longer period of time would kill the virus while keeping the patient alive::

CTO_Hawkes says:
<CPO_Stiles> ::receives status reports from all weapons crews::

EO_Stanky says:
*CMO* the pods are looking okay so far...  ::continues scanning::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@*XO*: Have one of the doctors on board send over analgesics and other flu treatments to the two men on board the other ship.  And inform me of their status.

CSO_Syrna says:
@::nods and follows::

Host Crassus says:
@::Leads the CSO and Serela into another room, after punching in a code::

CMO_Hunter says:
::runs another test to see if a combination of the various Flu medications will work::

XO_Tarrez says:
*CMO*: Doctor, we need some analgesics sent to our two sec guys on the Sha’arik.  Please have someone from your department take care of that.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@::sits on the stool and dully watches them leave::

CMO_Hunter says:
*XO*: Yes ma'am, I’m running test now to see if that'll work

XO_Tarrez says:
CPO: You will need to drop the shields to allow for the transport of the meds.

Host Crassus says:
Action: As Serela and the CSO follow Crassus into the room, she pushes a small object into the CSO's hand.

CTO_Hawkes says:
<CPO_Stiles> XO: Aye ma'am. Ready!

CSO_Syrna says:
@::does not look at it and finds a small place in her uniform to tuck it away::

EO_Stanky says:
::crawls around the back of the pods to physically inspect the hard power connections::

CTO_Hawkes says:
<CPO_Stiles> ::Checks with Transporter room to coordinate shield drop with transport::

Host Crassus says:
@CSO: Motions to several computer terminals.::  These contain our restricted files.  Files on biogenetic and bacteriological warfare agents used by all known governments.  This new Pselliad virus bears some similarities to one I recently came across.  You may look at the data with me, but you cannot copy it.

CTO_Hawkes says:
<CPO_Stiles> ::Blips the shields as the transport occurs. Check with all stations.::

CSO_Syrna says:
@::nods:: Crassus: I understand. ::is ready to look at the data::

CMO_Hunter says:
Medic: Here take this to the transporter room and have them beamed over, ::hands the medic the analgesics and the flu meds::

Host Crassus says:
@::Brings up some data on the screens and reluctantly shows it to the CSO.::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@*XO*: ::irritably:: Do you have a status on those two crewmen?

CTO_Hawkes says:
<CPO_Stiles> XO: Shields back up to full. No stations reporting counter transport.

CSO_Syrna says:
@::carefully looks at the data and tries to put it to memory::

XO_Tarrez says:
*CO*: Sorry ma'am.  Both men are holding steady at this time.

CTO_Hawkes says:
<CPO_Stiles> ::Double checks all tactical systems::

XO_Tarrez says:
CPO: Nicely done.

TO_T`Rail says:
CPO: Give me a systems report!

XO_Tarrez says:
CNS: So am I wrong to be second guessing myself?

CNS_Enki says:
XO: Probably in front of the crew, ma'am... but second guessing oneself sometimes is normal.

CSO_Syrna says:
@::sees what she thinks might work:: Crassus: Look at this.... if we take one of our current vaccines and modify it with this molecular chain... ::points to a different formula:: Do you think that might work?

CNS_Enki says:
::Is glad they're whispering::

Host Crassus says:
@CSO: As you can see by this (medical mumbo jumbo)  that the (more complicated jargon)  and so, we could modify the (complicated name).

XO_Tarrez says:
::nods and continues to whisper:: CNS: Of course I would never second-guess myself in front of the crew.

CTO_Hawkes says:
<CPO_Stiles> TO: All tactical systems at full alert status. Torpedo tubes hot loaded, phasers are at full standby. All tactical crews report ready. Two reaction squads quietly assembled on deck 9.

CSO_Syrna says:
@::sees his idea may well work better:: Crassus: I think we should test this theory. Do you have computer simulations?

Host Crassus says:
@CSO: Yes, yes, I think so.  Let's set it up.

Host Serela says:
@::Leans in slightly to get a good look at the data on the screen::

EO_Stanky says:
*CMO* Hey doc...  you sure it's okay for me to be in here?  You're not gettin' ready to run any experiments in here are ya?

XO_Tarrez says:
::continues to listen to the CSO through the open comm::

CMO_Hunter says:
*EO*: No You’re fine....just keep those pods running smooth ok

CSO_Syrna says:
@::takes a chance:: ~~~Serela: Please pardon my intrusion... your daughter has a message for you... she loves you and you will be a grandmother very soon....~~~

Host Serela says:
@::Stands up, looking startled, but quickly hides it.  ::

Host Crassus says:
@::Leaves the room after turning off the terminal and ushers the two women out.::

TO_T`Rail says:
CPO: very good chief

CSO_Syrna says:
@~~~Serela: Do you have a message for her?~~~ ::looks away, trying to act nonchalant as she follows Crassus to where ever he is going::

Host Serela says:
@::Nods slightly to the CSO as they leave and smiles, ever so slightly::

Host Crassus says:
Action: Crassus and his orderlies quickly begin making preparations.  The CSO and Serela are swept up in the work and the CO is enlisted as the first test subject.

Host Crassus says:
Action: Three hours pass.

Host Crassus says:
INFO: Aboard the Da'Varain, all simulations show that the new vaccine works.  Crassus is ready to begin injecting live subjects.  He, Serela and the Orderlies are all showing signs of illness now.

CTO_Hawkes says:
<CPO_Stiles> ::looks up at the chronometer on his console, and wonders where the time went? :: Self: Now that's what I call paying attention to systems.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@::sits on a biobed waiting for her injection::

EO_Stanky says:
::finally finishes his painstaking inspection of the pods:: *CMO* I'm getting out of here...  not much any more I can do from in here, everything is working fine.

CNS_Enki says:
::Still on the Bridge... feeling the effects of being on duty so long::

XO_Tarrez says:
::orders a drink and really wants to eat something with pickle juice but doesn't order anything::

EO_Stanky says:
::heads back to the "airlock"::

XO_Tarrez says:
::carries the drink back to the command chair on the bridge::

CTO_Hawkes says:
::lying in stasis dreaming of Risa::

Host Crassus says:
@CSO/CO: Alright, I think we are ready to proceed.  Are you prepared Captain?

XO_Tarrez says:
CPO/TO: Do you know anything about the report I received from the engineering department about power fluctuations with the Pods?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@::nods:: Crassus: As ready as I'll ever be.  Can't be much worse... ::grins weakly::

Host Crassus says:
@::Takes a hypospray from one of his assistants and presses it to the CO's neck.::

CSO_Syrna says:
@Crassus: Once we have determined if this vaccine works, I think it would be a good idea to give the formula to the Delphyne as well, that way we can also allocate our replicators to the task, getting everyone inoculated more efficiently.

EO_Stanky says:
::leaves the airlock and starts removing his EVA::  CMO: Well..  the pod’s are fine.

CTO_Hawkes says:
<CPO_Stiles> XO: No ma'am, I haven't heard anything along those lines. ::looks at the TO::

CSO_Syrna says:
@::watches closely, whips out the tricorder and waits to see if Crassus objects::

CMO_Hunter says:
EO: No you don’t...I have no way of knowing if your decontaminated… you stay there.

Host Crassus says:
@CSO: I agree.  However, I must ask for something.  With the data you will get from analyzing this vaccine, your people could develop a deadly bio-agent to use against us.  In exchange for this vaccine, I must ask you to turn over all data in your memory banks regarding bioweapon research in the Federation.

EO_Stanky says:
::stands there with the EVA half-off... rolls his eyes::

Host Crassus says:
Action: The CO does not feel appreciably better.

CSO_Syrna says:
@Crassus: I do not have the authority to authorize that. ::looks to the Captain:: CO: Captain? Do you authorize me to  do so?

XO_Tarrez says:
::bites the corner of her mouth in thought::  TO/CPO: This may be a wild goose chase but will you check with the EO Stanky about it.  I am concerned that this might be related to our recent "power" problems.

CTO_Hawkes says:
<CPO_Stiles> XO: Aye ma'am.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@::hears what Crassus says and shakes her head:: Crassus: We cannot do that.  No more than you could do so.  I'm afraid the answer is no.

Host Crassus says:
@CO: I see. And what do you propose as an alternative for this weapon we have given you?

CTO_Hawkes says:
<CPO_Stiles> *CMO/EO* Sirs, the XO would like a status report on the containment pods, specifically regarding any power fluctuations.

Host Serela says:
@::Looks worried, and wipes her brow as her fever worsens::

EO_Stanky says:
::stands there and looks cross-eyed at the CMO::  Well..  are you gonna scan me or what?

CSO_Syrna says:
@::sees that Crassus has not objected to her scanning the Captain:: CO/Crassus: I can see that the vaccine is working. Captain you will be cured.

XO_Tarrez says:
::listens to the conversation onboard the Da’Varain::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@Crassus: That this information will be classified and only used if this virus spreads.  That's the best I can do.

XO_Tarrez says:
::smiles at hearing the CSO's comment::

CSO_Syrna says:
@CO: Captain, he has let me see their files. I suggest that we let him see ours, under the same restrictions. That being that he can look, but not copy.

Host Crassus says:
@CO: I understand Captain.  And I know that Starship Captains are to be trusted.  However, there are elements in your government who will use this information for other purposes.  With or without your knowledge.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@CSO: ::looks at her sternly:: I cannot authorize that Lt.  Now please see how about getting the rest of these people treated and then the poor souls on the other ship.  ::turns to Crassus::

CSO_Syrna says:
@CO: I understand.

CSO_Syrna says:
@::hopes that the Romulans will still give their nine crew vaccine to cure them::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@Crassus: I would say that we would destroy the data we have as soon as enough vaccine has been developed but I'm not sure that this virus hasn't spread beyond this ship.  Your other ship did make a stop on Psellus III.

XO_Tarrez says:
::glad that she had decided to transport the CO over to that ship::

CTO_Hawkes says:
<CPO_Stiles> ::drums his fingers impatiently on the console waiting to hear back from the CMO or the EO::

CMO_Hunter says:
*CPO*: they seem to be functioning fine now.

Host Crassus says:
@CO: I am aware of that.  However, this virus did not come from there.  It is isolated to our two ships.

CTO_Hawkes says:
<CPO_Stiles> *CMO*: Thank you sir. I'm sure the XO will be pleased.

CSO_Syrna says:
@Crassus: How do you know?

Host Crassus says:
@CO: You may contact Psellus III if you wish and see if they are reporting any outbreaks or epidemics.

CTO_Hawkes says:
<CPO_Stiles> XO: Doctor Hunter reports that the pods are working fine now ma'am.

Host Crassus says:
@CSO: You mean you do not?

XO_Tarrez says:
::nods::  CPO/TO: I still would feel better if we try and figure out what caused it in the first place.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@::rubs her temple as she thinks:: Crassus: All right.  If I hear that there are no outbreaks on the planet then we will destroy all of the data we have learned here.  ::looks straight at him:: But I want it clear that you will take this ship back across the neutral zone after destroying the other one.

CSO_Syrna says:
@Crassus: I know the strain originated on Psellus III, I suspect someone altered it.... but suspecting and knowing are two different things

CTO_Hawkes says:
<CPO_Stiles> XO: Aye ma'am. ::begins running a power grid diagnostic looking for any likely causes.::

Host Crassus says:
@CO: Very well.  However, it is my understanding that the Sha’arik will be taken back as well.

XO_Tarrez says:
::hears the ongoing conversation of the CO's and heads back to the tactical area::

XO_Tarrez says:
::motions for the TO and CPO to standby::

CSO_Syrna says:
@::is not at all pleased about this turn of events:: CO/Crassus: Perhaps we can cure everyone and then negotiate?

CTO_Hawkes says:
<CPO_Stiles> ::Nods acknowledgment to the XO, and stands ready for anything::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@Crassus: ::looks at him in disbelief:: Are you mad?  That ship is a death trap.  Either you destroy it or we will.  ::her tone softens:: But first get the vaccine to your people and to mine before this virus takes more lives.

Host Crassus says:
