<<<<Resume Mission: "Picture Show-Part 2">>>>

CSO_Syrna says:
::in front of the theater::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::walks up to the theater and sees her crew standing outside.  Looks around for the doctor and his friend::

FCO_Curgan says:
::strolling down the street towards the rest of the crew::

XO_Tarrez says:
::has rejoined the group in front of the theater::

CNS_Enki says:
::Joined the group with the CSO and OPS officers.. waiting to meet up with the doctor::

CTO_On says:
::he is in front of the theater with the rest of the crew::

CMO_Hunter says:
::already in front of the Theatre::

XO_Tarrez says:
::smiles:: All: I hope everyone had a delightful lunch.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CMO: Doctor, would you like to introduce us to your friend?  Helen...wasn't it?

Host Helen says:
INFO: The Paradise Theatre is quite an amazing thing to see.  Its architecture is decades old and has been restored to pristine condition.  The marquis out front announces the Grand Opening set for tomorrow night and the feature "The Towering Inferno".

FCO_Curgan says:
::stands to the rear of the crowd, admiring the structure::

Host Helen says:
Info: Workers enter and leave the building through the propped open front doors and the sound of construction can be heard from within.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::looks up at the building:: All: This is impressive.

CNS_Enki says:
::Still not sure why they're here:: CO: Indeed.

CNS_Enki says:
::Thinks that construction worker who just walked by was pretty hot...::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::looks around:: All: Well let's go and see what it looks like on the inside ::grin and walks into the theater::

CSO_Syrna says:
::walks in and takes in the surroundings, admiring the architecture and how well it was restored::

FCO_Curgan says:
::shrugs and follows the captain inside::

CTO_On says:
::hears the Captain orders and follow her::

XO_Tarrez says:
::follows in looking up as she does to see all the pretty details::

CNS_Enki says:
::Follows through, ending up close to the XO:: XO: Do you know why we're here, ma’am?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::enters and let's her eyes adjust to the interior light from the bright outdoors.  Looks around for someone who fits Helen's description::

Host Helen says:
ACTION: The Lobby is in excellent condition.  Only the addition of some replicators near the snack bar and more modern lighting show any concession to the modern age.  Doors leading into the theatre proper stand open and workers walk in and out of them.  In the center of the lobby is a woman who is directing the chaos.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::walks up to the woman:: Helen: Excuse me, are you Helen...?

CSO_Syrna says:
::quietly following along, the discussion she heard on her way over playing again in her mind::

XO_Tarrez says:
CNS: Well it appears that this place has had a rather bad time of it as late.  Strange mishaps and accidents and the such.  Owyn's friend Helen is the one in charge of it all and she has asked for our help.  ::looks around and sees the CO address a woman:: And I think that is her.

Host Helen says:
::Signs off on a PADD held by a worker and then looks at another.::  CO: Yes I am, what do you have and where do I sign?

CNS_Enki says:
XO: I understand that, ma'am.. but it seems curious that we would be asked, rather than the local Security forces.  And... ::smiles:: ... I find it curious that every time we get shore leave, the senior staff runs off and finds something to do rather than enjoy themselves.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::chuckles:: Helen: I'm K'Beth...your friend Owyn Hunter mentioned that you were having some problems and that we might be able to help you solve them.

CSO_Syrna says:
::walks a little away from the group clearly admiring the fine detailing of the paint and tiles in the restoration::

CMO_Hunter says:
:: Walks in to the room:: CO/Helen:: Sorry I’m late.

XO_Tarrez says:
::smiles at the CNS and whispers:: Well to each their own.  However unless I am mistaken I believe the local authorities have been contacted but thinks there is no foul play so to speak.

Host Helen says:
::Signs the PADD and then looks up at the group::  ALL: Oh!  ::Smiles sheepishly::  Oh I'm sorry!  Yes!  I am Helen.  Owyn, thank you for coming.  Thank you all.  Please, let's step over here.

XO_Tarrez says:
::smiles as Owyn catches up with the group::

CNS_Enki says:
XO: I see.. but the next time we get shore leave, you all are taking it... that's an order from the Counseling department.

Host Helen says:
::Steps over to the side of the lobby.::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::follows Helen over to the side::

XO_Tarrez says:
::chuckles and follows the group::  CNS: I well inform the CO of your order.

CNS_Enki says:
::Smiles on the outside, but knows that her and the Captain need it the most...::

CSO_Syrna says:
::turns to see the group going off to the side of the lobby sticks close, bumps into the FCO:: FCO: My apologies.

FCO_Curgan says:
::raises his eyebrow::  CSO: Not a problem, Ma'am.

Host Helen says:
ALL: Well, as Owyn has told you, the theatre is opening tomorrow night.  There have been several accidents of late, actually quite a few over the past two years, and I am not so sure it is accidental...

CSO_Syrna says:
FCO: I see you are new. I am Syrna, the Chief Science Officer. :;does not smile, but nods politely::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
Helen: What makes you think they aren't accidental?

Host Helen says:
ALL: San Francisco Police have investigated, but found nothing.  I am not sure what you can do to help, but I have read of your..."exploits", for lack of a better term, and I thought perhaps you could help.

Host Helen says:
CO: Well, I mean, there have been so many!  And more as the theater nears opening.  And all the talk of ghosts and strange noises...almost as if someone doesn't want the theatre to open.

FCO_Curgan says:
CSO: Greetings, I am Trayer, your new FCO.  ::extends his hand::

CMO_Hunter says:
Helen/CO: Well, looks like the introductions are all set, If you will all excuse me, Ill be heading over to Starfleet Medical to talk with the Doctors over there.

CSO_Syrna says:
::as Vulcans have a taboo against touching, does not extend her hand back:: FCO: It is good to meet  you.

XO_Tarrez says:
::nods and smiles at Owyn::

Host Helen says:
CMO: Oh! Certainly.  I heard Karen is in bad shape.  Please say hello to her for me.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::nods to the doctor:: Helen: My crew has already started their own little investigation :: looks at the CSO and CNS::  Is there anyone or anything that would not want the theater to open?

FCO_Curgan says:
::shrugs off the unaccepted handshake::  CSO: Nice to meet you as well.

Host Helen says:
CO: I can't think of anyone.  It makes no sense.  Perhaps the theatre is haunted.

CMO_Hunter says:
::catches the XOs eye and smiles::

FCO_Curgan says:
::thinks to himself:: Self:  I've got to remember my foreign relations classes, it hasn't even been that long since I had that course.

XO_Tarrez says:
::raises an eyebrow at Helen's last remark::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CMO: Take Counsellor Enki with you.  See if she can find out any more from the patient.

CSO_Syrna says:
::raises her eyebrow:: Helen: The Vulcan Science Directorate has determined the existence of ghosts to be impossible. I believe there is a logical explanation for everything that has occurred. We just need to find it.

CMO_Hunter says:
CO: Yes ma'am

CMO_Hunter says:
CNS: Care to join me?

CNS_Enki says:
CMO: Sure.

Host Helen says:
CSO: ::Looks quizzically at the CSO for a moment.::  Of course.  ::Smiles::

XO_Tarrez says:
::smiles at Syrna as her Vulcan way of think matches her scientific mind.::

CMO_Hunter says:
::starts off for SF medical::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
Helen: I would like for my XO to go through your paperwork if possible.  See if there is anyone that might have a grudge against the theater or would want to stop the opening.

Host Helen says:
CO: Hmmm, well, we will need to ask Richard about that.  He is in the office.

XO_Tarrez says:
::thinks "Fun, Fun!!! Just what an XO wants on leave... more paperwork"::

CSO_Syrna says:
::looks at the CTO:: CTO: Wouldn't you agree with me?

CTO_On says:
CSO: Oh, yes! I agree with you

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::nods:: Helen: Would it be possible for a few of my crew and myself to walk around the theater?

XO_Tarrez says:
Helen: Would you point me to the office?

CNS_Enki says:
::Follows the CMO::

Host Helen says:
CO: Certainly.  But be careful, there is still a lot of work going on in there.  ::Smiles::

Host Helen says:
XO: I will take you.  Please follow me.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
Helen: Of course.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CSO: Please assist the Cmdr until Lt D'von locates the database that we need in the library.

XO_Tarrez says:
::nods and follows::  Helen:  So you are a friend of Owyn's family huh?

CSO_Syrna says:
CTO: What would you say were the most vulnerable areas of this location. I mean if you were to assemble a security team where.... ::hears the CO, turns to her:: CO: Aye Ma'am.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO/FCO: Ensigns, you both are with me.

Host Helen says:
::Leads the XO up a flight of stairs::  XO: Yes, for years.  I remember Owyn when he was in grade school.

CTO_On says:
CO: Aye, ma'am

CSO_Syrna says:
::walks swiftly to catch up with the XO and Helen::

FCO_Curgan says:
::nods:: CO: Aye, Ma'am.

FCO_Curgan says:
::moves to follow the captain::

XO_Tarrez says:
::grins::  Helen: I bet you could tell me a few good stories. ::hears the CSO and turns to wait on her::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::walks into the interior looking at the refinishing::

CSO_Syrna says:
::swiftly catches up::

Host Helen says:
INFO: The theater proper is a medium sized venue, perhaps two hundred seats.  A large stage dominates the room and a balcony rings the front of the theatre.  Rows of seats stand unoccupied while scaffolds and ladders are spaced around the room as workers try to finish before the deadline.

CTO_On says:
::follows the Captain and the FCO, he is with his tricorder looking for clues::

XO_Tarrez says:
::nods for Helen to continue to show the way::

CNS_Enki says:
::Goes for idle chit chat with the CMO:: CMO: How do you know Helen?

Host Helen says:
Action: Helen leads the XO and CSO up the stairs, past the balcony entrance to a door.  She taps a code into the keypad and the door clicks open.  Helen opens the door and enters.  A small hallway leads to the projector room and off to another door at the end, which seems to be her destination.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::skirts around a scaffolding and walks over to the nearest worker:: Worker: I understand there was an accident here recently.  Do you know where it occurred?

Host Helen says:
Action: As the crew walks through the theatre, they hear a stream of music, something akin to Carmina Burina playing over the din of the workers.

FCO_Curgan says:
::listens intently to the captain's conversation, while looking about at the other workers' reactions::

Host Helen says:
<Worker> CO: Who are you?

CMO_Hunter says:
CNS: Helen is a friend of my mom, they've known each other for years.

XO_Tarrez says:
::observes everything:: Helen: Do you have any suspects in mind that would want to hurt you or this theater?

Host Helen says:
Action: The CNS and CMO arrive at Starfleet Academy Hospital.

CMO_Hunter says:
CNS:: Here we go, I’m going to go chat with the Doctors if you would like to go chat with the patient?

Host Helen says:
XO: As I said, no.  I have no idea who would want to keep us from opening.  Ah, here we are.  ::Opens the door to the office::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
Worker: Sorry...should have introduced myself.  I'm sort of a friend of Helen's.  We're just helping her out by checking into this rash of unfortunate events.  Do you have any thoughts about what might be happening?

XO_Tarrez says:
::follows Helen in::

CSO_Syrna says:
::silently follows behind::

Host Helen says:
<Worker> CO: Well, there was a woman working over there on that scaffold.  ::Points::  Painting the ceiling I believe.  I heard a scream, turned around and there she was, in the first row of seats.  Busted her up pretty good too.

Host Helen says:
::Leads the XO / CSO into the office where several desks sit occupied by people in a frantic state of business.  At the end of a short corridor a man is seen in his office, on the phone.  Helen leads the group to him.::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::nods:: Worker: Thank you.  ::looks around:: You all are doing a good job here...the place looks remarkable.

FCO_Curgan says:
::examines the ceiling around the area the worker specified, looking for anything out of the ordinary::

CMO_Hunter says:
::makes his way down to the morgue::

Host Helen says:
INFO: The ceiling is a fresco.  Scenes of mythology and fantasy can be seen, though from the floor it is hard to make out.

XO_Tarrez says:
::notes the productive look of the personnel and who she assumes is Richard::

CSO_Syrna says:
::silently follows Helen to whom she presumes is Richard::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::walks over to the scaffolding:: CTO: Scan this and see if anything looks suspicious.  Anything that might make her fall off.

CNS_Enki says:
CMO: Actually, we almost got kicked out for questioning Karen earlier.  I don't know if it's a good idea for me to go back, as they know me.

FCO_Curgan says:
::moves over to beside the scaffolding with the captain::

Host Helen says:
::Knocks on the open door::

CMO_Hunter says:
CNS: Alright, Ill go with you, I just want to see if an autopsy has been done...what was the patients name?

CTO_On says:
CO: I'll do that right away

Host Helen says:
Richard: Richard?  I have someone here to see you.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
FCO: Scan the entire area for anything that seems out of place.

XO_Tarrez says:
::walks into the office and extends her hand confidently towards Richard::

CTO_On says:
::starts to scan anything that looks suspicious or anything that might make her fall off::

Host Helen says:
<Richard> ::Looks up, annoyed::  I am busy Helen.  Who...::Sees the odd pair with Helen::  Who is it?

CNS_Enki says:
CMO: Karen Douglass was the... mentally unstable one.  I do not think we could get much out of her.  Nor do I feel comfortable doing so... the one who had the fatal heart attack was Hutch Tanner.

CTO_On says:
CO: The scan shows nothing of the ordinary

FCO_Curgan says:
::nods:: CO: Aye Ma'am.  :moves to the nearest wall, preparing his tricorder and beginning his scans::

CMO_Hunter says:
CNS: Thank you ::enter the Morgue::

CMO_Hunter says:
Aloud in morgue:: Hello?

XO_Tarrez says:
::continues to offer her hand:: Richard: My name is Cmdr Sykora Tarrez of the USS Delphyne.  I am a friend of sorts to Helen.

CSO_Syrna says:
::stands back, hands at her sides, watches the XO make the introductions::

CMO_Hunter says:
<Mortician>: Who're you?

Host Richard says:
::Stands up and shakes her hand::  XO: Hello.  What can I do for you Commander?

CMO_Hunter says:
Mortician:: Lt Owyn Hunter, Chief Medical Officer, USS Delphyne,  I’d like to ask you a few questions about Hutch Tanner.

XO_Tarrez says:
::motions to her CSO:: Richard: This is Lt Syrna, my science officer, and Helen has asked us to look into some of the mishaps that have been occurring around here.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::looks up and sees someone on top of the scaffolding::

CMO_Hunter says:
<mortician>:: I'm sorry I can't answer anything for you.

Host Richard says:
XO: I see.  Well, knock yourselves out.  ::Smiles::  The Police couldn't find anything, I fail to see how a Starship officer is better qualified.  Still, it is a shame what is happening.  I really want to see this old place thriving again.

CSO_Syrna says:
::nods politely to Richard, wonders if he is being true::

CMO_Hunter says:
Mortician:: Ok....has an autopsy been done?

FCO_Curgan says:
::moves with purpose about the premises scanning everything within his reach.

CMO_Hunter says:
<Mortician>: CMO:: Didn’t you hear what I just said Now leave! Before I call security!

XO_Tarrez says:
::observes the gentleman who appears to be genuinely sincere in his words.::  Richard: May we have a look at your paperwork and see if we can find anything unusual?

CMO_Hunter says:
Mortician:: Ok, right, ::turns to leave::

Host Richard says:
XO: My paperwork?  I think not.  Most of this is work orders, receipts and correspondence to the media and dignitaries.  Hardly any of your business.  I assure you, if there were any threatening letters I would have notified the police.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
FCO/CTO: Seems safe enough. ::looks around:: I'm going to head to the stage.  You two look around for anything that could answer why these 'accidents' are happening.

CMO_Hunter says:
*CO*: Ma'am, We aren't going to get any information out of this place, seems to be dead ends at every turn.

CTO_On says:
CO: Okay, Captain

XO_Tarrez says:
::was afraid she was going to hit this dead wall and turned to see if Helen was going to come to the rescue for them::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
*CMO*: Can you at least get in to speak to the patient?

CSO_Syrna says:
Richard: Who do you think might want to stop the theatre from opening?

CTO_On says:
::continues looking with his tricorder for any clue::

Host Richard says:
XO: I assure you, no one wants this place open more than I.  I have loved the Paradise since I was a boy, coming here for holo-movies on weekends.  When I saw the building up for sale, I convinced the board to buy and renovate it.  The Paradise still has a lot of life left.

CMO_Hunter says:
*CO*:: The CNS has tried, she is mentally unstable, she believes it best not to talk with her.

Host Richard says:
CSO: I'm sure I wouldn't know.

Host Richard says:
<Helen> ::Stands in the doorway.::

CSO_Syrna says:
Richard: I think that perhaps the investment paperwork or some other thing may lead us down the path to discovery, no piece of paper can be left unturned.... so to speak.

XO_Tarrez says:
::notes how freely Richards provides... more information that was asked for.  Almost like he wanted them to believe him::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::walks towards the stage stepping around seats and over tools:: *CMO*: Understood.  Was the ME able to ascertain the cause of death of the worker, Tanner?

CMO_Hunter says:
*CO*: Even he declined to comment.

XO_Tarrez says:
::frowns as it appears Helen isn't going to back them in this one::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
*CMO*: All right doctor, then you both had best head back here.

Host Richard says:
CSO: Well, perhaps not. However, I am too busy at this time to turn any documents over to...well meaning people off the street.  Perhaps after the opening, I might be able to help you.

CMO_Hunter says:
*CO*: Understood, on our way.

CMO_Hunter says:
CNS: Ok, lets head back.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::reaches the stage and looks up at it.  Heads over to the side where the stairs are, ducking under a scaffolding and around a worker replacing seats::

CNS_Enki says:
::Nods to the CMO:: CMO: Let's go.

CSO_Syrna says:
Richard: If we do not discover who is behind this... that may be too late. ::said grimly:: There has already been one death.

CMO_Hunter says:
::Heads back to the Theatre::

CNS_Enki says:
::Follows the CMO::

FCO_Curgan says:
::moves to the stage, and begins scanning the sides of the stage itself::

XO_Tarrez says:
::tries a different approach::  Richard: Has there been any past or presence personal or vendors that might be holding a grudge against Helen, yourself, or the theater?

Host Richard says:
CSO: You have not done your homework.  There have been several deaths.  I heard a n hour ago that Hutch Tanner had passed away in the hospital.  Now, if you will excuse me, I have work to do.

CSO_Syrna says:
::does not like his tone and tries to scan his mind::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::climbs onto the stage and turns and looks back towards the audience.  Walks to center downstage and surveys the workers throughout the theater trying to see anything or anyone that seems out of place::

\Host Richard says:
XO: No!  I told you I have received no threats and know of no disgruntled employees or vendors.  Now please, leave!

CSO_Syrna says:
XO: Perhaps we should leave. ~~~ I know he is hiding something.~~~

CSO_Syrna says:
::gives Richard an arrogant Vulcan sort of look::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::notices a figure in the balcony all alone.  Looks closely and sees no one else.  Tries to make out who the figure is::

XO_Tarrez says:
::senses he is hiding something and is confirmed by the CSO.  Turns back around to Helen:: Helen: There appears to be little for us to do here, if you don't mind I think we will take our leave now.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::the figure moves and disappears into the shadows as she stares at it::

CTO_On says:
::he thinks that he hear a scream from behind a door on one side of the theatre and he is going to take a look::

FCO_Curgan says:
CO: Captain, I'm finding nothing conclusive here.  ::looks up to see her staring off into the balcony section::

Host Richard says:
