Brett:
 Summary: The Delphyne continues on course toward the Neutral Zone.  The investigation into the replicator explosion in Ambassador Charbok's quarters continues.  The Romulan is recovering in Sickbay.

Brett:
 <<<<Resume Mission - "Double Blind-Part 3">>>>

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::continues scanning in the ambassador's room, then looks to an engineer:: Eng: Do you have any hypotheses for what may have caused the explosion?

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::enters sickbay and heads towards the Ambassador::

Brett:
 <Engineer> ::Head buried in the blackened wall::  CSO: Well, now that you mention it.  ::Extricates himself and sits on the floor, looking at his tricorder::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::raises an eyebrow, curious::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::looks over his vitals:: Charbok: How are you feeling

CTO_Lt_Llynisika:
 ::At her station on the bridge, looking over the information her people got::

Brett:
 <Engineer> CSO: I have detected traces of chemosite.  A minute amount but still, it shouldn't be here.  I think a tiny amount was used to rupture the ODN conduit and cause the explosion.

Brett:
 <Charbok> ::Sitting propped up on a bed, the skin on part of his face still pale from the grafts and regeneration::  CNS: Well enough, thank you.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 :: In his Ready Room, finishing the initial report to Starfleet, gladdened that he can add, ".. and Ambassador Charbok has pulled through." to his report. ::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 Self: Hm... ::looks back at the engineer:: Eng: The chemosite... would it only activate when there was power running through the replicator?

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::smiles at Charbok as he looks over the grafts::  Chabok: Very good.  Are you having any pain?

Brett:
 <Engineer> CSO: I wouldn't think so.  My guess is it had a detonator.  Unfortunately, whatever it was vaporized.

Brett:
 <Charbok> CNS: A bit, but I am used to such discomforts.  Have you determined what happened?

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 Eng: Ah. ::nods curtly:: Then the device could have been planted here at any time... ::taps chin:: Is there a record of who last accessed this panel before the accident and when?

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 Charbok: No we are still looking into it.  ::offers a reassuring smile:: we have our best people looking into it.  ::injects the Ambassador with a light pain reliever:: that should ease the pain, and I also think you are ready for some better food.  What would you like

Brett:
 <Engineer> ::Consults his padd::  CSO: A level 3 diagnostic was run on the replicator prior to the ambassador's arrival.  But we have no way of recording when this panel was opened.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika:
 ::Sid hands a PADD and then moves to the Aux. TAC::

Brett:
 <Charbok> CNS: Perhaps something from your ship's galley?  I have a sudden dislike for replicated cuisine.  ::Smiles wryly::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::nods:: Eng: There were no logged repairs on this device in recent history? Say over the last two weeks or so?

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 Charbok: I don' t blame you.  Do you have anything in mind that you wish to eat?

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 :: Exits Ready Room. ::  CTO: How goes the investigation?

Brett:
 <Engineer> CSO: No maam.

Brett:
 <Charbok> CNS: No commander, I'll trust your judgment.  Something light I think.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::takes a quick scan of his DNA with the medical tricorder, and listens for any stray thoughts that might pop out: as she does so:: Eng: I am scanning you so that I can eliminate your DNA from any samples I get from this panel. Are you the only engineer that as worked on this device since the explosion?

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::nods:: Charbok: I will see what I can come up with, anything else you need or wish to talk about?

CTO_Lt_Llynisika:
 CO: Sir, we've ::indicates Sid:: been going over everything, there are some leads we're still trying to track down, though.

Brett:
 <Engineer> CSO: ::Looks at the tricorder like it might be some sort of insect::  Um, no ma'am.  There were three of us in here today.  ::provides their names::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CTO: Very good, lieutenant. I've filed a preliminary report with Starfleet and will be looking to be kept up-to-date on the information should they contact me. I'm going to go to Sickbay and check on the Ambassador myself.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika:
 CO: Will do, Sir

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 :: Heads for TL. ::

Brett:
 <Charbok> CNS: I don't believe so Commander.  Hopefully you will find the cause of those malfunctions and correct it.  Rest assured, I don't hold anyone responsible.  These things happen on a starship.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 Eng: Thank you for your information. Are you finished here?

Brett:
 <Engineer> CSO: yes ma'am.  We've done all we can.  Shall we begin repairs?

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 Eng: Will you need to leave and get parts to do so? ::hopes he says yes::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::does a passive mental scan of the Ambassador to see what emotions he is feeling and any other random thoughts he might have.  What he would normally do during a session::

Brett:
 <Engineer> CSO: Well...Um, yes.  I could have them brought up?

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 :: Exits TL, heads for Sickbay. ::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 Eng: I think we'd need to have final clearance from security. It may be a good idea to wait to initiate repairs until the CTO contacts you with the all clear. It would be disagreeable for evidence to be lost during repairs.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 Eng: You may return to your station in Engineering.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika:
 <Noseitall> CTO: What about this here?  ::points to the display::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 Charbok:  I am sure they do, they just don't happen very often.  As soon as we know more about what is going on we will let you know

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 *CTO*: I have information for you about the replicator explosion. Are you alone?

CTO_Lt_Llynisika:
 ::Moves to Sids' side and looks at the screen::  Noseitall: No.  That wouldn't do anything with out at least two other components

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 :: Enters sickbay, approaches the Ambassador and CNS. ::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::turns and heads off to place the Ambassators food order when he sees the captain::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 Ambassador: ::smiling:: Good to see you Ambassador. I hope you're feeling, well, as good as can be?

CTO_Lt_Llynisika:
 ::Stands and moves towards her station:: *CSO*: Not at the moment.  ::Looks around:: Do you need me to meet with you?

Brett:
 <Charbok> CO: Yes Captain, the commander here was keeping me company.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 *CTO*: It would be most agreeable for you to come here. Yes.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::stays with the CO and Ambassador::  CO: He is doing very well, and was just about to upgrade to some better food

CTO_Lt_Llynisika:
 *CSO*: I'm on my way, then.  Are you still in Ambassador Charboks' quarters?

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::waits for the engineer to leave then squats down to the replicator to start her own scans:: *CTO*: Yes.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::motions a nurse over and gives her a new dietary plan for Charbok::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika:
 Noseitall: Sid, keep looking.  If you find anything, mark it and I'll check it over when I get back.  ::sid nods and Sika heads to the TL::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika:
 *CSO*: I'll be there in a minute

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 Charbok/CNS: Very good. I'm glad to hear it.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 *CTO*: Understood. Rhykmal out.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika:
 ::wonders what the CSO found::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 Charbok/CNS: I hope you don't mind if I ask: what's the last thing you recall? Was there anything strange or did everything seem... ordinary?

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::scans for any DNA evidence inside the replicator panel and on any of the pieces of the panel::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika:
 ::Exits the TL and makes her way past the guard at the Ambassadors door::  Leachman: Everything quiet?

CTO_Lt_Llynisika:
 <Leachman> CTO: Quiet as can be after something like this... ::slight pause:: Ma'am

CTO_Lt_Llynisika:
 ::Enters the room::  CSO: You wanted to see me?

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::the nurse takes the new orders and hustles off to make arrangements to get Charbok something to eat::

Brett:
 <Charbok> CO: I took your suggestion Captain, and replicated some food from home.  or, at least, I started to.  I remember a bright flash, and then I remember lying on the floor.  But that is all.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::after taking all her scans uses her legs to stand up fully:: CTO: Yes Lieutenant. The engineer identified the chemical compound, chemosite was used in some type of explosive device. Unfortunately the Engineer says that the detonator was destroyed in the explosion. ::fingers fly over her tricorder as she compares the samples to the database::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::tries one last time to see if he can get anything mentally from Charbok, he finds it very strange that he can't read anything from him::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika:
 CSO: I see.  ::antennae move down towards her head as she leans down to see the tricorder::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 :: Furrows brow. ::  Charbok: And no unusual scents in the air? Nothing seemed out of place?  :: Hand in chin, thinking::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::frowns as there is no DNA that is out of place::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika:
 CSO: Did the engineering team check the scans that my team took?  Maybe there was something found in the earlier scans

Brett:
 <Charbok> ::Looks over at the CNS for a moment then back at the Captain::  CO: Captain, i am afraid such details have been erased from my mind by the large explosion.  ::Smiles indulgently::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 Charbok/CNS: Erased? :: looks startled::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::almost sighs, but instead her normally straight shoulders sag just a touch as she reads the result, then hears Sika's question:: CTO: That is something I do not know. You will have to ask them yourself. Additionally I should inform you that I told Engineering to wait on repairing the replicator until they got an all clear from you.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika:
 CSO: Does anyone else know about this?  Besides the Engineering team, that is.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::stands listening to Charbok::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 CTO: After all this is a murder investigation. ::slightly shakes her head:: Not that I am aware of. Only the engineers, you and I know of the chemosite.

Brett:
 <Charbok> CNS: Perhaps you can explain to the Captain the effect traumatic injury can often have on a person's mind?

CTO_Lt_Llynisika:
 ::nods:: CSO: Good thinking.  Noseitall is going over our scans on the bridge.  Maybe you two can compare notes... perhaps there is something that will point us in the right direction

CTO_Lt_Llynisika:
 ::Moves over to the door and looks at Ensign Brooks:: Brooks: go to sickbay and tell the Captain that when he is done there I would like to see him

CTO_Lt_Llynisika:
 <Brooks> CTO: Aye, Ma'am  ::swallows hard and heads to sickbay::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 :: Looks to the CNS for an explanation. ::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 Charbok/CNS: it is possible that a persons mind could suffer from post traumatic stress syndrome.  There are therapies that could help with this, even though you can't remember the information it is possible that this information could still be in your subconscious

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 CTO: I find myself at a loss for a direction to investigate further in and that I find disagreeable. I will go to the bridge and compare notes. But I have primarily taken scans of DNA and other physical evidence. The comparison I did just now supports that there is no DNA that should not be here. I am however... loath to contemplate the implication such evidence entails. That one of the samples of DNA that I gathered here may be our murder suspect.

Brett:
 <Charbok> CO/CNS: Am I to understand by your rather insistent questioning that you believe this was not an accident?

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 CO: When a person suffers a very traumatic event, their brain blocks out these memories as a way of protecting it self. They aren't erased, they are just blocked and will eventually work their way out, and the person will have to deal with them one way or another.  Charbok: Have you been having any nightmares or strange thoughts

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 Charbok: Please understand, as a former engineer I want to rule out mechanical failure. ::grin::  No, I am joking. Laughter, I believe, is still the best medicine?  We're still conducting our investigation and it's too soon to rule out mechanical failure or foul play. The most important thing, thus far, is that you're on the mend.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika:
 ::Moves slowly back towards Rhykmal:: CSO: I don't blame you.  Once the Captain gets here, we'll see what he thinks.  *Noseitall*: Sid, Rhykmal will be up in a while to look over our scans. Keep comm chatter to a minimum

CTO_Lt_Llynisika:
 <Brooks> ::moves into sickbay, looks around and sees the Captain talking with the Romulan Ambassador.  She moves to his side and waits for him to acknowledge her::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 Charbok: If you are willing we could start these therapies to help you deal with your post traumatic stress.  If you would allow I could do a mental scan to see if I can locate these blocked memories.  Then we can start a daily therapy session to help ease your mind in to allowing you to deal with these memories

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::nods, silently wishing a moment she could speak to the ambassador:: CTO: I shall return to the bridge now. ::exits::

Brett:
 <Charbok> CNS: Thank you Commander, but I am afraid I must decline.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika:
 CSO: Good hunting

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 Charbok: Decline on the mental scan or the daily therapy?

Brett:
 <Charbok> CNS: Both.  I am suffering no undue stress.  But thank you for your concern.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::goes down the hall to the lift and presses the button to call the lift::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 Charbok: You your self just said that you felt like you were suffering from post traumatic stress syndrome.  I would like to ask how you are able to completely block any type of mental or emotional scan I do?

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 :: Sees Brooks and gets the impression that he should hear whatever she has to say outside of Sickbay. ::  Charbok: Well, I will leave you in the hand of our good doctor here. If you'll pardon me?  :: Steps away towards the exit. ::

Brett:
 <Charbok> CNS: No doctor, I said I could not remember the events surrounding the explosion.  You assumed the rest.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika:
 <Noseitall> ::reads the information as it scrolls by, marking a few here and there and glancing over to the TL once or twice::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::gets in the lift:: TL: Bridge.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika:
 <Brooks> ::follows her CO towards the exit::

Brett:
 <Charbok> CNS: As for my mental shielding, that is none of your concern.  Now, I would like to rest.  We can continue this at another time.  Thank you for your concern, if I remember anything I shall call you immediately.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 Charbok: Of course, I will leave you now.  Your meal should be arriving shortly

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::arrives on the bridge and finds Noseitall:: TO: I am here to... compare notes. ::hands him the medical tricorder::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::turns and heads towards the CO outside of sickbay::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika:
 <Noseitall> CSO: Ma'am.  ::takes the tricorder, looks it over. His eyebrow almost hits his hairline:: Is this right?  ::points at the info about the chemosite::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 CTO: Yes.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika:
 <Brooks> CO: Sir, Lt. Llynisika wishes to talk with you

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::exits sickbay and looks for the CO::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 <TO>: Yes.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika:
 <Brooks> CO: She is in the Ambassadors quarters, waiting.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 TO: The CTO wishes a lid to be kept on that information.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 CO:  Sir, I would like to speak to you about Charbok when you get a chance

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 :: Stops at turbolift ::  Brooks: Thank you. 

CTO_Lt_Llynisika:
 <Noseitall> CSO: I can see why.  Here, ::points at the screen:: what do you make of this?

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::tilts her head as she looks at the screen::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CNS: Come with me. :: Enters TL. ::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::enters the TL with the CO::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika:
 <Brooks> ::enters with both the CO and the counselor::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 CO: Sir, something isn't right with Charbok.  I find it very strange that he is able to completely block all mental scans and emotional scans that I try.  I suppose it is possible that someone be trained to block such scans, they only reason I can see if you were or used to be an spy type agent.  However it would be very hard for a non-telepath to learn such skills to the degree that Charbok is able to block my scans

CTO_Lt_Llynisika:
 <Noseitall> CSO: Right there, ::points:: looks like a trace of some residual transporter energy

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 TO: Was the device transported to the location and then detonated?

CTO_Lt_Llynisika:
 <Noseitall> CSO: Looks that way to me... so can we prove it?

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CNS: See if there's any intelligence along those lines about Charbok? You might want to consult with CSO Rhykmal.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 TO: If it was transported there... there must be a record of it somewhere... some how.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 CO: Yes sir, and there might not be anything behind all of these I just find it very strange.  He also declined any therapy I might offer.
