Host SM_Lilia says:
Having almost solved one mystery, the USS Elara is faced with a new challenge. Explain to two groups of Cardassians that they were turned into ghosts for 20 years
Host SM_Lilia says:
Meanwhile, inside the ship the First Officer, along with the Doctor and the CTO try to understand exactly why they were infected and how to get rid of the “disease”

Host SM_Lilia says:
#ACTION: Janan and her team of engineers materialize in the engine room of the bigger Cardassian Vessel
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::sitting in his seat on the bridge ::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<SO Witherman>::still in sickbay, wondering what happened as she doesn't recall anything after leaving the ship with the XO::
Griago says:
# ::Sees personnel in black and gray uniforms appear. Hides behind a console ... the alien races suggest Federation::
Griago says:
# ::Another male engineer kneels down beside him:: <Draino> Griago: I think I can get to the weapons locker ... but I'm not sure if we have anything in there that can defend us ...
Host SM_Lilia says:
#ACTION: The room is a typical Cardassian engine room if there is one. Plenty of consoles and half a dozen crewmen working about. They hide behind their consoles following Griago's lead
Griago says:
# ::Trying to keep his voice down:: Draino: Try and see what you can find. I had no idea we drifted into their territory. It's just like us to get to get into a border skirmish!
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
#::looks around can't see anyone:: ALL: Hello. We're here to try and help you.
Griago says:
# <Draino> ::Tries to crawl away to the aforementioned locker::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<SO_Witherman>::looks for the CMO but as he seems to be busy elsewhere finds her badge::*XO*Witherman to Timrok
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
::is sat in sickbay as his staff administer the treatment to counteract the nanothingies::
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::surprised:: *SO* Go ahead
Griago says:
# ::Yells at another wall, hoping the bulkheads reflect his voice as an echo:: CNS: Are you Starfleet?
Host SM_Lilia says:
<SO Witherman>*XO*: I understand you brought me back from the shuttle? What happened? I don't remember anything and the doctor just says I'm tired ::whispers:: *XO*: I don't like him
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
#::pauses before answering this one:: Cardassian: Your ship has been missing for 20 years things have changed between the Cardassians and the Federation, but yes we are Starfleet.
Griago says:
# CNS: Since when would you expect us to believe that?
Griago says:
<Draino> # ::Gets to the weapons locker ... only finds dust, webbing from whatever Cardassian insectoids have managed to get onboard, and a not too promising looking disruptor::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<OPS Solie>XO: Lt Heller reports he has secured one of the Cardassian vessels. It seems he had to hold the whole crew at gunpoint but they are proceeding with repairs
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::Bites his lip:: *SO* Yes, we made it back, you lost consciousness, other than that don’t ask
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
# Cardassian: I had my doubts about you believing it too, however if you wish you can see we have a team of engineers here with us, and I can give you access to your systems again.
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
OPS: very good, and the CNS team?
Host SM_Lilia says:
<SO Witherman>::blinks::*XO*Aye sir ... ::shakes her head and gets up looking for her uniform::
Griago says:
<Draino> # ::Leaps up and aims the disruptor at the Counselor:: CNS: DIE FEDERATION RAIDERS!!! ::Presses the fire button, but the disruptor only whines ... then electrocutes him briefly, sending him shaking and collapsing to the ground::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<OPS Solie>::shakes head:: XO: They haven't reported yet, nor has the doctor about the Captain's condition
Griago says:
# ::Looks over at his collapsed comrade, and shouts:: DRAINO!
Griago says:
# ::Ignoring the Starfleet personnel, runs over to the fallen Cardassian and kicks the smoking disruptor away::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
#::jumps back initially drawing her own phaser, then realizes what she has done, and puts it away steps a little closer to the Cardassian:: Cardassian: If you will let us we can help
Griago says:
# ::Checks Draino's pulse, then glares at the Counselor:: CNS: Do what you will ... kill me if you must ... but this will not be forgotten by the Empire ... Starfleet will not win in their unjust assaults on us!
Host SM_Lilia says:
#<Security & Engineers>::remain in their positions waiting for the counselor to give the word to take control
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
OPS: very well keep monitoring all channels
Host SM_Lilia says:
<OPS Solie>XO: aye aye sir
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
#::bends down and monitors the fallen Cardassian turns to the away team:: AT: May I have a med kit.
Host SM_Lilia says:
#<Ensign Kting>::carefully approaches the CNS and the Cardassians carrying a med kit::
Griago says:
# ::Stays by Draino's side, stares at the kneeling Counselor:: CNS: You have peculiar eyes for a Human. ::Thinks it might just be the light in here::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
# Cardassian: I am Counselor Janan, we intend to let you fly out of here with your ship and all as healthy as we can get you, may I have your name?
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
::stood at tactical getting somewhat impatient something that doesn’t normally happen, his tail instinctively twitches:: *CMO*: Mesme to Cameron, any luck finding more cases of these puncture marks?
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
#::takes the med kit and checks the Cardassian over with the medical Tricorder::
Griago says:
# CNS: I am Griago.
Host SM_Lilia says:
<SO Witherman>::finishes getting dressed and prepares to leave sickbay::
Griago says:
# ::Refrains from giving too much information. The Empire has done their job with their paranoid rhetoric about how the brutal Federation antagonists::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<EO Yellow>*XO*: Yellow to Timrok. We have the final reports on the analysis of the shuttle Tagus
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
*CTO* Aye, sir.  We've been able tae track down most of those infected.  Mah staff are operating the noo.
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
#::smiles:: Griago: It is good to meet you ::continues working on the Cardassian:: AT: Can you contact Elara and let them know we will begin the repairs shortly.
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
*EO* Go ahead
Griago says:
# ::Does not smile back, still wondering about the woman's peculiar eyes::
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
*CMO*: Could you please forward the information about how long ago they were infected up to the tactical console
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
*CTO* Aye,  sir.  Downloading the noo.
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
::downloads the information to Mesme's console::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
#::looks back up to Griago:: Griago: Your friend is stable but would be much better off in sickbay. ::turns to the engineers:: AT: How long will it take you to get this ship working again?
Host SM_Lilia says:
<EO Yellow>*XO*There isn't much to tell, the shuttle didn't record anything during the time you were away
Griago says:
# CNS: Whose sickbay? ::Half expects a dissection team awaiting his comrade::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
#*XO*: Sir, we are at least on speaking terms with one of the Cardassians on this vessel and will begin repairs soon.
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
*EO* anything that might help the away teams over on the Cardassian vessel's?
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
*CNS* Excellent, we will forward any information that might assist the repairs over to you as we get it
Host SM_Lilia says:
#<EO Sellers>CNS: A while ma'am, I am not familiar with these systems but mainly we need to reactivate the warp core
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
::cross references the times received from the CMO to the location of the effected crewmembers and Markl and his teams location at those times in the hope of finding out who among them was responsible for the nanite infection::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<EO Yellow>*XO*The only think "wrong" with the shuttle was the loss of power. Once it was powered up it works perfectly
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
#Griago: As your sickbay will not be operational for sometime I would suggest we send him to our ship.
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
*EO* OK, begin transferring your data to the CEO & CNS
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
#Griago: Do you have any engineers here who could assits our staff in repairing your vessel, and do any more of your crew require medical attention?
Griago says:
# CNS: I will accompany him. If you try to pull anything ...
Griago says:
# CNS: I have a few who might be available. ::Looks at her cautiously::
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
XO: Sir, I think I can say safely now that it was Dr Markl who was responsible for the infection of our crew, no other member of his team was at every infection point.
Host SM_Lilia says:
<EO Yellow>*XO*Aye sir ::sends the information to his fellow EOs in each of the teams::
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::spins quickly in his seat:: CTO: your sure?
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
#Griago: You would be welcome to accompany him, could we get some of your staff to assist us here and then I shall arrange for you to be moved to Elara.
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
::lying in sickbay, he begins to wake up::
Griago says:
# ::Takes a moment to consider, the nods, stands up:: Cardassian Engineering: Yvarkan, Utrar, Venue, cooperate with the Starfleeters. Make sure they do not tamper with our ship!
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
XO: About 90 percent sir. But there is no way I can prove it to a greater degree given the information I have available
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
::notices Wall's stats show he is starting to come round::
Griago says:
<Yvarkan, Utrar & Venue> # ::The three Cardassians peer from behind some consoles and walls, making sure that Griago isn't at phaser point in case this is a trap ... and slowly come out::
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
::approaches Wall::  CO: Welcome back, Captain.
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CMO: Doctor, how did I end up here again?
Host SM_Lilia says:
<EO Sartr>::enters sickbay and looks for the CMO. Notices he is with the Captain and takes a step back. Waiting::
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
CO: Ye were infected with nanothingies.  <edit> Commander Mesme believes it tae be the work o' Doctor Markl.
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
#Griago: Whilst you are onboard Elara it may be a good time to contact the empire and inform them you have returned.
Griago says:
# CNS: There's that word again - "returned." Where are you claiming we have went?
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
CTO: then that will have to do, OPS: open up a channel and get me the Captain of the Saramago
Host SM_Lilia says:
<OPS Solie>XO: Aye sir ::punches his console:: XO: On screen
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: The star field on the view screen is replaced by a middle aged bold man
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
#*XO*: I have one injured Cardassian who needs to be beamed to our sickbay, and a traveling companion by the name of Griago. It may be useful for Griago to be updated on his ships status as well as being given the ability to contact the Cardassian Empire in order to establish we are on the same side.
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Captain Anderson>COM:USS Elara: This is Captain Anderson of the SS Saramago. What can I do for you Elara?
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CMO: You mean there are still inside me, I thought you took care of them the last time I was here in sickbay?
Griago says:
# ::Stares at the Counselor::
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
*CNS* Very well do what you feel appropriate
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
::watches the view screen with interest, wondering if anyone else is involved in this incident::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
#Griago: I am not entirely sure of that myself, though the XO has more information on that and can inform you, it seems there was some kind of rift in this part of space.
Griago says:
# CNS: I was not informed of this ...
Host SM_Lilia says:
<EO Sartr>::blinks her blue eyes and opens her mouth  to answer the CO but instaed waits for the CMO to answer::
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
CO: This is the same time, sir.
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::turns to the view screen:: Anderson: Captain Anderson, Greetings!
Host SM_Lilia says:
<EO Sartr>CMO/CO: We couldn't distinguish between the fake and real red blood cells. But I think I got it! ::her eyes glow with excitement::
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
::turns to Sartr in surprise::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Captain Anderson>::tilts his head, getting slightly annoyed at waiting for the XO to state his business::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CMO: what? ::confused:: I remembering leaving sickbay?
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
Anderson: We have uncovered evidence to suggest that Dr Markl and his staff are responsible for acts of treason against this crew, I must insist that you take them into custody immediately and reverse course to our location
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
CO: Hallucinations, sir.  A side effect of the nanoprobes.
Host SM_Lilia says:
<EO Sartr>CMO/CO: well, the fake ones emit a very low electromagnetic signature. With that we can pinpoint all of them. I just don't know how to get them out exactly
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
# Griago: So how long have your crew been here, and how long have you been without systems, the last time the Cardassian empire knew of this ships whereabouts was twenty years ago. I am sure you will find some information to help figure this out on the Elara.
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CMO: hmm...but it seemed so real...very strange
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
::stifles a grin::  CO: Sir.
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
OPS: transport, the injured Cardassian and his colleague to sickbay, inform Dr Cameron of the situation
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Captain Anderson>COM: USS Elara: I am afraid we have already left him on his scientific facilities, in the Solar system
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
EO: We could try the blood purification units in the isolation ward.
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
CTO: ensure there is security in sickbay, as a precaution
Griago says:
# CNS: It's only been a few days since we went to the D'kaisar Colony…
Host SM_Lilia says:
<SO Sartr>CMO: That should work. Assuming you can return all the blood back inside after filtering ::is glad she is not infected::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<OPS Solie>::nods to the XO::*CMO*: Solie to Cameron. Prepare to receive two, potentially hostile injured Cardassians
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
# ::gives him a puzzled glance:: Griago: Then hopefully this is something we can work out back on the Elara.
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
EO: That's nae bother.  They work the same way as kidney dialysis units did years ago.
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
Anderson: very well, then I am sorry to trouble you
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CMO: so you have not found a way to clear the nanites from our bodies?
Host SM_Lilia says:
<EO Sartr>CMO: Your the Doc ... ::hands him the PADD with all the information::
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
::nods::  *OPS* Acknowledged.  Computer: Level 3 force field in the diagnostic room.
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
CO: No' yet, sir.
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
*CNS/CEO* how are the repairs progressing, I’m sorry to say have suddenly run short of time
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
Ridge: Nurse, set up the blood purification units to these specifications.  ::hands Ridge the PADD::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<OPS Solie>*CNS*: Solie to Janan. Should I beam you to sickbay along with the two Cardassians?
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
*XO*: Sir, Time is one thing the engineers said they would need however hopefully it won't take so long now the Cardassians are working with them, with your permission I would like to return to the ship with Griago and his companion, I am of no use to the engineers.
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CMO: understood, make it one of your priorities I want me along with the entire ship a crew cleanup of these things as soon as possible
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
CO: Aye, sir.
Host SM_Lilia says:
$<EO Sands>*XO*Repairs are going well, Lt Heller asked me to report because he can't stop what he is doing at the moment. The ship should be functioning in 10 minutes. The crew however still doesn't believe us
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
::enters the diagnostic room with Sister Sledge, waiting for the Cardassians::
Griago says:
# CNS: Perhaps.
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
*CNS* as you wish, have the engineers concentrate on restoring power and getting out, we will send a transmission to Cardassia to finish the job, we have other fish to fry
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
#*OPS*: yes I am returning to the Elara with the Cardassians, please.
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: The nurses and MOs prepare the filtering system and start the procedure on the CO
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
*Security* Security detail to sickbay.
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: Griago, Draino along with Janan are beamed to the diagnostic room in sickbay
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::growing impatient all of a sudden - begins fidgeting at his collar::
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
::has his hand close to his phaser, and notices that Sledge has adopted a similar position::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::looks for one of the MO's:: Griago: Welcome to the Elara.
Griago says:
::Looks around in surprise at the arrival. He closes his eyes for a moment to adjust the sudden brightness. The streamlined steel fixtures are a ... different setting than the Cardassian vessel he is used to. Doesn't feel too comfortable::
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
::approaches Janan::  CNS: How are you,  Counselor?
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
::lying on the biobed he thinks to himself, what a problem these nanites have caused on this ship, especially during this critical mission::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Dr Greene>::watches the procedure being performed mainly by nurse Ridge::
Griago says:
CNS: I've never been on a Federation starship before.
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::smiles at the CMO:: CMO: Ah Dr good to see you, I am fine, however this Cardassian is not too fine, he electrocuted himself.
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
::grins wryly::  CNS: Clever Cardassian.
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
CMO: And this is Griago another of his crew.
Griago says:
::Turns to the CMO and eyes him warily::
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
::takes his med kit and approaches the injured Cardassian::  Draino::  What's yer name?
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Dr Greene>CO: That should about do it. If you have any strange sightings or headaches please report back ASAP
Griago says:
<Draino> ::Slowly coming to consciousness:: CMO: D ... Dra ... Draino ...
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Dr Greene>*CTO*Please report to sickbay for decontamination~
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
Draino: Well, Draino, Ah'm gonna get this burn sorted oot, and check ye over tae see if there's any mehr damage.
Griago says:
<Draino> ::Nods, really out of it::
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
*Green*: Decontamination of what? I was under the impression that I was cured of the nanite problem
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Ensign Lost>::enters sickbay looking even more lost and scared than usual::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Dr Greene>Lost: Come along Ensign
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
Dr. Greene: ::sits up a moves off and stands on his feet:: thank you Doctor
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Dr Greene>*CTO*: Cured?? ::laughs:: *CTO*: We got it under control but those things are still inside you. Your blood needs to be ..... washed
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
::mends the burn to Draino's hand, and then runs a further scan::
Griago says:
::Crosses arms:: CMO: What are you doing to him?
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Dr Greene>::oversees the decontamination on Lost::
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
*Greene*: I'm on my way, Mesme out.
Host SM_Lilia says:
<SO Witherman>::arrives at the bridge and takes science one::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<SO Witherman>::looks uncomfortably at the XO and resumes her duties::
CMO_Ens_Cameron says: 
Griago: This is a dermal regenerator.  Ah've used it tae fix the burn.  Ah'm now using a tricorder to scan fae any other injuries caused by the electrical shock.
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
::steps into the TL and makes his way down towards sickbay::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::watches the CMO work::
Griago says:
CMO: Oh ... your technology is very advanced...
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
Griago:  Thank you.  ::glances to Janan::
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::noting the SO' :: SO: whats up?
Griago says:
::Nods::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
::steps to stand and watches Dr. Greene perform the procedure just done on him::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<SO Witherman>::gulps::XO: nothing sir, just returning to regular duties after whatever happened to me
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
::exits the TL and makes his way quickly to sickbay and steps in through the doors::
Griago says:
CNS: You said I could get in contact with my people ...
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
::finishes off::  Draino: There.  All done.
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::turns as the CTO enters, and smiles at him::
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::nods in as understanding a way as he knows how then turns back to face the front::
Griago says:
<Draino> ::Notes the change, and lack of pain ... still groggy::
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
::smiles at the CNS and then notes the two Cardassians:: CNS: Been busy I see
Griago says:
::Looks at the arriving Furry Thing::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
Griago: I shall just arrange for that, this is CTO Mesme.
Griago says:
::Nods at the fur-ball::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
CTO: This is Griago, and I suppose you could call it busy.
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Dr Greene>::approaches the CTO with a strange smile on his face:: CTO: you are next
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
::gives the Cardassian a friendly nod:: Greene: Lucky me...
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
CTO: Now it would be useful if we could contact the Cardassian empire.
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
*XO*: ::taps comm badge:: Commander, sickbay has successfully figured out how to clean out the nanites please have all who have been infected and to report to sickbay to have the procedure done
