Brett:
 Summary: With the Delphyne crossing the Neutral Zone and only a short distance from Romulan space itself, the tension is high aboard the Excelsior.  While the Romulans have granted safe passage, it could be a trick...and there is likely an assassin aboard.

 <<<<Resume Mission "Double Blind - Part 7">>>>

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::lets the tricorder further analyze the DNA sample from Webber's replicator, and goes to the environmental control panel::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 :: Sitting uneasily in the Big Chair, unable to leave the Bridge at the moment, trying to think of something else to test for and wondering if the tightened security will be enough? ::

EO_Derfel:
 ::enters room where CSO is goes to the replicator::  CSO:  What have you found so far?

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::walks on to the bridge and heads towards his chair::  CO: Sir, both ambassadors are recovering well in sickbay

Brett:
 <Webber> ::Works on his speech padd::

Brett:
 <Charbok> ::Meditates::

TO_Ens_Herrington:
 ::stands in sickbay, watching the diplomats::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 <nurse> ::looks over the ambassadors vitals, sees Charbok is mediating:: Webber: Is there anything I can do for you or get you sir?

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::stiffens as she hears the EO:: EO: I have determined that this replicator was altered at some point to be a small transporter.... I suspect it beamed the chemosite in to the Romulan ambassador's quarters

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CNS: Thank you, doctor..  well, Counselor. I apologize, I never know how to address you when you wear two hats?  :: smiles::

Brett:
 <Webber> Nurse: Actually my dear, if you don't mind, could you replicate me some food.  Perhaps a nice steak and potatoes?  I miss the cuisine of my home state.  ::Smiles::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 <Nurse> Webber:  I will see what I can do

EO_Derfel:
 CSO:  Have you been able to determine the origin of the transport?

Brett:
 <Webber> Nurse: You're a life saver.  ::Grins and returns to work::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 <Nurse> ::hurries off to get his meal::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::takes a moment and looks at the EO curiously:: EO: Yes... this replicator. ::points::

TO_Ens_Herrington:
 ::continues to watch the diplomats::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 EO: Now I need to find out who had sabotaged the environmental controls in this room. Can you do that?

Brett:
 <Charbok> ::Opens his eyes and sees Herrington watching him.  Nods to the security officer and then slides off the bio bed to begin walking around the room, stretching his legs::

EO_Derfel:
 CSO:  I should be able too.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::hears the message from the CSO telling him about Webber, he looks somewhat alarmed:: CO: Sir, I must be getting back to sickbay.  The CSO has just informed me that Webber's DNA isn't human, and she has evidence that indicates that he beamed the chemosite into Charbok’s quarters

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::goes back to look at her DNA sample hoping the tricorder now has the racial profile, nods to the EO:: EO: Excellent. Please do. You are the expert.

TO_Ens_Herrington:
 ::notices the nod as he continued to watch the diplomats. He gives a yawn, but tries to suppress it.::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::stands and starts towards the turbolift::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CNS: By all means. Have extra security outside the door but don't alarm him.

EO_Derfel:
 ::pulls a section of panel off the wall and access the control panel and takes a look at the access panel::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::nods to the CO as he enters the turbolift::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::blinks:: Self: The DNA is ROMULAN?

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 *Sec* Please have a security detail meet me outside of sickbay.  Do not enter sickbay

EO_Derfel:
 ::access the environmental subroutines::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 <nurse> ::is at the replicator getting Webbers meal::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ~~~CNS: Check Webber's DNA... the sample I have off of his replicator is Romulan.~~~

Brett:
 <Webber> ::Thanks the nurse profusely and uses a small rolling cart to set his food tray on.  Begins eating with obvious gusto::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ~~~CSO: I am on my way to sickbay now~~~

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::takes her sample:: ~~~CNS: I shall join you there.~~~ ::turns to exit, but pauses to speak to the EO::

EO_Derfel:
 CSO:  The environmental controls were overridden from another source.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 EO: I must go to... ::pauses:: It is? Can you determine where from?

EO_Derfel:
 CSO:  It was set to slowly decrease the oxygen level.

EO_Derfel:
 CSO:  I haven't been able to determine that yet.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::after what seems like a lifetime Donnie arrives on the proper deck::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 EO: That concurs with current evidence. Find out where from. This will be an important clue... as I am beginning to suspect we are watching the work of Romulan spies... on both sides... ::almost smirks::

Brett:
 <Charbok> ::Stops near Herrington::  Herrington: Ensign, how do you feel about Romulans?

EO_Derfel:
 CSO:  I will keep working

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 EO: Carry on. Inform the Captain the moment you have pertinent information. ::nods then hurries out::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::enters sickbay and looks over at the diplomats and smiles at them, heads over to look at a DNA sample, he makes sure he is at a terminal that can't be seen from their beds::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 <nurse>::after giving Webber his food try she goes about her duties::

EO_Derfel:
 ::turns back to the consol and begins to backtrack the access route::

TO_Ens_Herrington:
 Charbok: ::looks to one of the diplomats:: I feel that Romulans can be sneaky, when you least expect. Therefore, I always feel that one should be on guard around them.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::Donnie scans both Webber and Charbok DNA::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::goes to the lift and calls it to her... would tap impatiently if she weren't Vulcan::

Brett:
 <FCO> CO: Sir, we've... entered Romulan space.  ETA to rendezvous is one hour.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 FCO: Thank you, ensign. Maintain course and speed but be ready for anything. Even though we're invited, I wouldn't put "an incident" out of the picture.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::the computer indicates no DNA samples have been taken::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::when the lift arrives, she is poised to enter quickly:: TL: Sickbay. ::feels the lift move::

EO_Derfel:
 *CO*:  I have begun backtracking where the environmental controls from what I have found it seems to originate from the Science station on the bridge.

Brett:
 <Charbok> ::Quirks a smile::  Herrington: Quite a common feeling among your people I would say.  Which is why this conference is so important.  Peace Ensign, peace between our peoples... no more distrust, no more lies...

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::Donnie pulls their transporter bio information and does a DNA scan on that::

TO_Ens_Herrington:
 Charbok: ::gives a nod:: At least some balance is needed.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 *EO*: Thank you ensign. Any further information? Please let me know.  :: Stands and looks at the Science station, as if the perpetrator were still there. ::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ~~~CSO: I had to use their transporter information, and Webbers shows humans and Charbok's shows Romulan~~~

EO_Derfel:
 *CO*:  Nothing more at the moment sir but I will let you know as soon as I find anything.  ::Turns back to the control panel::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ~~~CNS: Then the Romulan sample on his replicator makes no sense... unless a romulan tried to implicate Webber.....~~~

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::feels the lift arrive on Sickbay's deck:: ~~~CNS: I am arriving shortly.~~~ ::moves swiftly down the hall::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 Computer: Who has accessed this Science station in the past two days?

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::arrives in sickbay::

EO_Derfel:
 *CO*:  The science station doesn't seem to actually be the source of tampering.  Someone has just been routing it around.  I have yet to determine where it originated.

Brett:
 INFO: The Computer lists the various duty Science Officers who routinely access the Science station.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ~~~ CSO: Is it possible that their is a way to cause the computer to read a different DNA then what is actually their, we need to take actually samples to make sure~~~

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::arrives to see the Counselor as he speaks in her mind and nods at him::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::hands him her tricorder:: ~~~CNS: See if you can match this to one of them... ~~~ ::a cold fire brewing behind her eyes::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 *EO* Keep at it. Find out where it was accessed and then who it was. I need answers, quickly.  :: Watches the chronometer as they race towards the destination. ::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::takes the tricorder and compares the DNA on it to the DNA he has from the scan to see if he can get a match::

Brett:
 <Webber> ::Looks at all the new arrivals::  Nurse: Nurse?  Could you be a dear and take this to the recycler for me please?  ::Indicates his tray::

EO_Derfel:
 ::finds what he is looking for after backtracking the tampering::  *CO*:  Sir I have been able to backtrack the tampering.  It originated from the office inside sickbay

Brett:
 <Charbok> CSO: Lieutenant, I trust you are closer to finding the bomber?

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 <Nurse> Yes, Sir just let me finish up here ::has her hands full of supplies that she is putting away::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::goes to the two ambassadors:: Charbok: It is agreeable to see you again and well. ::turns to Webber:: Webber: I regret we've yet been able to play a game of Kal-toh as I find strategy and mystery both mind stimulating.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 *EO* Of course, that makes sense. Send your information to CSO' s tricorder.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::turns back to Charbok:: Charbok: We are. ::eyes him.::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 <nurse>::finishes putting up the supplies and takes his tray::

TO_Ens_Herrington:
 ::quiety, he watches the Diplomats::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ~~~CSO: No match~~~

Brett:
 <Webber> CSO: Indeed, but no doubt the mystery we are now enjoying beats any simple game?

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::stops the nurse and takes the tray:: Nurse: I will take that for you

EO_Derfel:
 ::begins to transmit all the data he has found to the CSO's tricorder::  CSO:  I have some info from my investigation being sent to your tricorder.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::keeps the surprise from her face:: ~~~CNS: Then we have a Romulan spy on our vessel that is a crew member.~~~

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 Webber: Indeed it is quite stimulating... ::hears the EO:: *EO*: I shall review it.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::turns to her tricorder::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::takes the tray, but removes the drinking glass in which Webber was drinking out of knowing their would be some DNA on it from his mouth, and does a scan on it and compares it to the DNA form the transporter and the DNA from Syrna's tricorder::

Brett:
 Action: Suddenly, the Delphyne picks up a short transmission directed at their ship.  The signal is brief and no doubt coded.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ~~~CSO: I am doing another DNA scan from Webbers drinking glass.~~~

Brett:
 Action: A short time later, a second, different coded burst is sent at the ship.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::retrieves her tricorder to see the information::

Brett:
 <Charbok> ::tilts his head in thought::

EO_Derfel:
 ::checks over the control panel making sure everything is working well and then replaces the wall panel::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ~~~CSO: The DNA from his drinking glass matches the DNA from the Replicator, Webber is your Roluman~~~

Brett:
 <Webber> ::Smiles at the CSO::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ~~~CNS: I suspect that his opposite number is human....~~~

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::types a text message to the CO telling him that Webber is a Roluman::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::goes to the station where the EO said the environmental control tampering came from and does a scan there::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ~~~CSO: I have no way of knowing, I do not have an actually DNA sample from him just the computer scan that is saying Roluman. However if Webber is masking his DNA, Charbok could be Klingon form all we know~~~

Brett:
 <Webber> ::Stands and stretches, his vertebrae cracking from being seated so long.  Walks about the room, working out the kinks of his long bed rest.::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::continues her scans and raises her eyebrow as the CNS speaks to her mind:: ~~~CNS: Indeed.~~~

TO_Ens_Herrington:
 ::quiety, he watches the Diplomats, again::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 :: Reads the CNS's message, wonders how long he's known? ::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::does a scan of the room from any weapons besides those on the security detail, while still seated at his station making sure the Webber is still far enough away::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 OPS: Any chance of getting those messages decoded?

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 :: Sends a message to CSO's tricorder, informing of burst messaging to the Delphyne and warning of potential danger. ::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ~~~CNS: The DNA in here is Charbok's he sabotaged Webber's environmental controls... ::shakes her head:: Ironic no?~~~

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ~~~CSO: I am reading a weapon power source in Webbers briefcase~~~

Brett:
 <OPS> CO: Maybe with some time, but they were so short I doubt they say anything.  More like... a signal.

EO_Derfel:
 ::finishes replacing the wall panel and checks over the room making sure everything is back to normal::

Brett:
 <OPS> CO: Or... two.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::sends the CO a new message about the weapon and all other details::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 OPS: Somehow, that's worse...

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::sees her tricorder blink, reads the message, hears the CNS:: ~~~CNS: Beam it off the ship! Now!~~~ ::mental voice sounds urgent::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::attempts to beam the briefcase off the ship::

Brett:
 <Charbok> ::Looks at Webber and the same look passes between them that they shared at the reception::

Brett:
 <Webber> ::Looks with shock at his disappearing briefcase, then lunges forward grabbing the nurse and placing his concealed steak knife to her throat::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::types in the controls to flood sickbay with a sleeping agent, hoping the CO will sort this out later:: 

Brett:
 <Charbok> ::Elbows Herrington in the nose and relieves him of his phaser, stepping quickly away and aiming it at the room::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 Charbok/Webber: Gentlemen... you are both Romulan spies.

TO_Ens_Herrington:
 ::is knocked out cold on the floor::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 Charbok/Webber: Who have attempted to kill each other in the efforts to sabotage peace between our governments... ::then feels the effects of the anesthetizing gas, gets woosey::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ~~~CSO: I just flood sickbay with a sleeping agent, lets hope that was the right thing to do~~~

Brett:
 Action: The action ends abruptly and anticlimactically as the occupants of Sickbay slump to the floor unconscious.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::starts to feel the effect of the gas, and falls over on the station::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::also collapses::

Brett:
 INFO: An hour passes ad both "ambassadors" are placed in security cells, the anesthetized crewmen are revived.

Brett:
 <OPS> CO: Sir, we are being hailed.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 OPS: On screen.

Brett:
 INFO: A Romulan Commander appears on Screen.

Brett:
 <Sarnow> COM:DEL: CO: Captain.  ::Nods::  I believe you have two passengers for us?

Brett:
 Action: A Romulan Warbird decloaks nearby.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 COM: ROM: Sarnow: In fact, we do. We also have a series of communication bursts and evidence of espionage. Which would you like first?

Brett:
 <Sarnow> COM:DEL:CO: ::Raises an eyebrow.::  In truth Captain, we too picked them up.  They were sent from our vessel.  Apparently, the Tal Shiar is a bit too clever for their own good.  ::Chuckles::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 COM: ROM: Sarnow:  ::nods:: That's good to hear. I appreciate your candor. We'll put together a packet of information for you. Are you prepared to receive the, ah, "ambassadors"?

Brett:
 <Sarnow> COM:DEL:CO: It seems they are so compartmentalized, they were unaware that they were both trying to achieve the same goal.  We have their agents is custody.  Rest assured Captain, my crew and I have no love for spies.  Please send them and your information.  My father will be pleased you were able to capture them before any true harm was done.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 COM: ROM: Sarnow: Understood. We'll be ready to transport in a few minutes. I trust coordinates will be ready? ::smiles::

Brett:
 <Sarnow> COM:DEL:CO: Sending them now Captain.  Have a safe trip home and, hopefully, we'll see you again; When two proper envoys come to talk.  ::Smiles and ends the transmission::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 OPS: Send the info and the spies as soon as everything's ready.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 FCO: Set course for home, best speed. Hold until transport is complete.

Brett:
 INFO: The two spies are sent "home" and the Delphyne heads for its own as well.

Brett:
