=/\= U.S.S. Elara Stardate 10601.08 "The Dig, part III"=/\=
Host SM_Lilia says:
The USS Elara is still holding her position at Starbase 123.
Host SM_Lilia says:
The civilian vessels are starting to accumulate around it
Host SM_Lilia says:
All military traffic was diverted as Captain Timrok continues his investigations. But everyone is getting impatient. What is he after?
Host SM_Lilia says:
In the mean time, Peter Pazoski awakes in a dark room. He is alive after all. But for how long?
Host SM_Lilia says:
=/\= =/\= =/\= Begin Mission =/\= =/\= =/\=
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
::walks to the CO:: CO: Captain, what are you after?
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
@::at SBOPS busy SBOPSing::
Host SM_Lilia says:
$ACTION: The room has only one window, a dim light comes out of it. It appears to be dawn outside.
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 :: back on the bridge of the Elara ::
XO_Cmdr_Sovak says:
::Sitting on the bridge, reviewing the information gathered so far by the science department::
Host SM_Lilia says:
$ACTION: Pazoski's head feels like its about to explode
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
::In the brig talking to the duty officer::
CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
::In his office in sickbay, after a few days of examining data::
CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
::Leans back and rubs his eyes::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Still at the science lab, checking on the information they have gotten of the Starbase.::
OPS_MCPO_Green says:
@::SBOPSing too::
LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
$::groans and drags himself to his feet, immediately regrets it and steadies himself against the wall of the room while the world swirls frantically around him::
CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
*CSO* Mr. Nelson, this is Doctor Raythan in Sickbay. What's your progress with the shuttle remains?
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
::enters the brig and nods to the TO:: TO: Fine day to be interrogating don’t you think?
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
::walks to the CO again asking the same question:: CO: Captain, how is the investigation proceeding?
XO_Cmdr_Sovak says:
::Stretches his arms and sits up a bit straighter::
OPS_MCPO_Green says:
@::still is busy diverting all civilian vessels to other nearby Starbase::
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
::turns upon hearing the CTO:: CTO: Sure is, who are we questioning today?
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
TO: Our good friend mister Longfellow
LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
$::content that the universe is not in fact about to turn into some sort of yellow paste forces himself over to the window and feels the gentle warmth of the light outside across his cheeks and wonders how long has passed since he was stood on SB123::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 CEO: Slowly, too slowly, what have you found so far?
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: Longfellow is sitting on the floor by the farthest wall. He just quietly stays there
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::looks up from his work:: *CMO*: Hey there doc. There is not much left of the shuttle to mention remains. We did however been able to detect a transporter beam from the shuttle before it exploded.
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
CTO: Ah good, I have a few choice words for him myself.
CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
*CSO*: In other words ... the likelihood of our former Executive Officer being there is slim to none.
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
::marches down to Longfellow part of the brig and coughs slightly to get his attention:: Longfellow: Am I interrupting?
Host SM_Lilia says:
$ACTION: As his memories are shuffled around, Pazoski remembers his past rather than his present. Again, he is at the bridge of a ship, holding the rank of commander. Again he gives the order and wipes out the surface of a civilized world
XO_Cmdr_Sovak says:
::Gets up from his seat and nods at the CO, before leaving the bridge and entering the TL::
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
::follows the CTO::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Longfellow>::shrugs at the CTO and remains there::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Gets up from his chair:: *CMO*: If with there you mean in outer space particles, that could be a yes. No traces of DNA have been found after the explosion.
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
::clears his throat:: CO: Well captain, sir, I came to see if there is anything else you want me to do, we are going up some dead ends.
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
::nods to the duty officer to drop the force field for Longfellow's cell::
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
::sits next to Longfellow:: Longfellow: Good, I wouldn’t want to interrupt a deep philosophical self lightening course.. So i got a few questions, if it's not too much of a bother, I’d request you answer them.
XO_Cmdr_Sovak says:
::Orders the TL to the science labs::
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: The force field is dropped and Longfellow suddenly becomes more alert as if looking for a way to escape, but remains in his seat
CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
*CSO* Understood, Mr. Nelson. I'll concentrate my focus elsewhere then, thank you. ::Ends comm.::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Longfellow>CTO: I don't have to say anything right now. So I won't
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
::steps in and grabs the Commanders arm:: Longfellow: On your feet Commander.
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Walks over to his chair and console again to start his research again.::
LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
$::as the memories come flooding back in one violent wave he can feel the sterile atmosphere of the ships bridge around him, hear the subtle noises of the warp core somewhere far below him and the chirping of officers entering commands into consoles and he feels sick to his stomach::
XO_Cmdr_Sovak says:
::Exits the TL and looks around a moment to get his bearings::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 CEO: Actually there is something you could do for me, there are two of Admiral Ix's tactical advisors I want to speak to, take a security team and bring them to the Elara for questioning :: looks at the names on his PADD ::
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
@::while working at the primary OPS console Tar watches all SB operations going on::
Host SM_Lilia says:
$ACTION: Linked to the death of those people comes his demotion on the Elara
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
Longfellow: Oh come now. A few days ago you were in a fine mood to chat. So, why did you circumvent me and my inquiries? Running and stunning me certainly didn’t help.
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 CEO: Commander T'mok and Lt Commander Sarn
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
::hauls Longfellow to his feet::
XO_Cmdr_Sovak says:
::Starts moving towards the main science lab::
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
::takes a note on his own PADD:: CO: Understood sir! Where do you wish me to escort them to, so you can meet them?
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::He finds another interesting signature to that transporter beam from the shuttle, right before it exploded.::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 CEO: The brig, keep them separate
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Longfellow>CTO: Its really easy to stay there and interrogate a man behind bars, unarmed. do what you will, I shall not speak
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
::nods to the captains and turns away walking to the TL:: Self: T'mok and Sarn.
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
@::sees the list of permissions to dock increase rapidly:: OPS_Green: Why do all those ships have to get here all together at almost the same time?
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Just to be sure he makes another check on his discovery.::
CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
::Takes this time to start going over some of the medical profiles of crew he had not gotten to. Notes that he has an appointment in twenty minutes with one of the civilian personnel onboard. Makes note to have one of the assistants take it::
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
CTO: The way I see it Lieutenant we have two options... we could use one of our interview rooms or I have a holodeck simulation that may be more suitable if you prefer.
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
::sits closer on Longfellow’s bench and puts his arm around his shoulder:: Longfellow: Well, aren’t we friends now... I’m sure you can at least tell me why you were trying to escape from me.
XO_Cmdr_Sovak says:
::Enters the lab and looks around for a sign of the CSO's whereabouts::
LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
$::staggers away from the window and collapses in the corner, questions start bouncing around his mind. "Why did I kill those people?" "Who was that damned Vulcan who put those drugs into my juice?" "Where am I?!".  The last one really got to him, someone had gone to a lot of trouble to get him here, why?::
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
TO: Now, now... let us be a little polite here. Kindness has it's good parts
Host SM_Lilia says:
$ACTION: A sudden feeling of disappointment with Starfleet comes over Pazoski. They let him down so many times ...
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::The second check comes out the same.:: *CMO*: Doc, Nelson here again. I think I know why we haven't found anything on remains from our beloved former XO. He has indeed beamed out of there.
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
::exits the TL after reaching the requested deck heading to the armoury::
OPS_MCPO_Green says:
@::turns to Tar:: OPS Tar: They were scheduled to deliver their cargo here for supplies etcetera, Sir.
Host SM_Lilia says:
$ACTION: As he thinks poorly of Starfleet, the headache subsides. Starfleet is causing his pain
XO_Cmdr_Sovak says:
::Spots Nelson somewhere in the back and starts making his way towards him::
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
CTO: I think Kindness went out the window when your friend here opened fire on another Starfleet officer.
CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
::Looks up:: *CSO* Any chance you can identify what sort of technology caused that transporter beam?
CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
*CSO* That might be information the Captain is most interested in.
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
@OPS_Green: Our orders were quite clear, no boarding of any ships. Can you open a frequency to all vessels requesting permission to dock?
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 *OPS* Ensign Tar - there are too many ships orbiting the station - get rid of them
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
TO: I'm sure he sincerely and deeply regrets his acts... if not... you can...correct him..
XO_Cmdr_Sovak says:
::Approaches Nelson and heard his last sentence:: CSO: And what might that be..?
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
::enters the armoury, seeing a lot of security personnel:: Out loud: Ensign Leeroy and Lieutenant Jenkins, grab some weapons and accompany me to the Starbase. The captain has given us orders to fetch him a pair of suspects. ::walks over to the men talking::
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
CTO: Doesn't look like it from where I'm standing.
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Sounds excited:: *CMO*: I made sure that I got it right and yes... it was his own signature... that is what the scans could tell me. ::Turns around in a shock:: XO: Sir!... didn't notice you come in.
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
@*CO*: I'm right on it, Sir. I was just going to hail them all. Tar out.
OPS_MCPO_Green says:
@OPS_Tar: Yes, one moment, opening frequency.
OPS_MCPO_Green says:
@OPS_Tar: Channel opened
LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
$::reflects for a moment and reaches a decision.  Starfleet was responsible for everything terrible that had happened to him in the last few years.  He had watched friends die, see his family incarcerated, given up his entire will to do their bidding and they demote him for what he was ordered to do... perhaps he would be better off if Starfleet didn't come looking for him, he could find a new life... wherever this was::
Host SM_Lilia says:
$ACTION: The pain continues to subside, Peter feels much better
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
Security Officers: Alright, lets move. ::exits the armoury followed by the two security officers. Walks to the docking ports and onto the Starbase heading for the officers quarters::
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
::coughs again a little harder:: Longfellow: You don' have to pretend your deaf to me, I have your medical records so ignoring me is not a good idea.  So... why were you running from me... you suspect you did something wrong?
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
@COM: All vessels requesting dock: Starbase 123 to all vessels requesting permission to dock. Due to circumstances no ship is allowed permission to dock at Starbase 123. Please go to the Starbase you are pointed to. There will be no exceptions made. I want this area cleared within 15 minutes.
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Longfellow>::looks at the CTO and spits on him. Then looks forward again::
XO_Cmdr_Sovak says:
::Nods slowly, waiting for the CSO's explanation::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Checks the last information on the scan.:: XO: Sir, since you're here, can you please tell me what you make of this? It's almost as though the transporter signal is disguised... ::Points to his screen.::
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
::swats Longfellow round the back of the head:: Longfellow: Want to try that again? Why did you run?
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: Angry voices come through the communications system asking till when is the blockade going to last and why they were not informed before leaving their previous stops
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
Longfellow: Right...  I tried,., God knows I tried.. ::wipes away the spit with a handkerchief then pulls out his Bat’leth with one hand:: TO: Hold him...
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Longfellow>CTO: You lay that blade on me and you kiss your career goodbye ::smiles::
CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
::Shrugs, and goes back to his reading::
XO_Cmdr_Sovak says:
::Looks at the screen and taps it a few times:: Out loud: Hmm... Ahm...
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
@COM: All vessels: I understand you're not pleased with this situation, neither are we. We are under strict orders and we can't give out any more information. There is no further discussion possible about these required actions. Please divert to your pointed Starbase. Starbase 123 out.
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
Longfellow: Well you forgot one thing... our dear CO, Captain Timrok has very high access right with this mission. I'm sure something can be… fixed...
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
::pulls Longfellow’s arms behind his back and locks them there with his own holding him to the spot::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Looks at the XO:: XO: Kind of has a Romulan touch to it, don't you think?
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
@::turns to OPS_Green:: OPS_Green: Ignore all incoming hails except from the Elara.
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: Most of the ships clear the area, save for three who insist on docking
XO_Cmdr_Sovak says:
::Nods slowly:: CSO: It would look that way... This does not look good... ::Shakes head::
LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
$::feels his thoughts slowly drift to his wife but pushes them aside:: Self: No, stay focused on the here and now ::drags himself to his feet once more and over to the rooms only door, where the light from the window has illuminated a small square on it, runs a hand along its surface::
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
::whispers in Longfellow’s ear:: Longfellow: A cut for a shot? Sounds more than fair to me.
OPS_MCPO_Green says:
@OPS_Tar: Channel closed and aye, Sir. ::smiles::
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: The CEO gets indeed to the location of the two officers. Apparently they shared quarters on the Starbase. Both the female Vulcan and the Andorian male are dead
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
*CMO*: Doc... sorry to keep you waiting. It appears that this transporter was not of Starfleet origin but Romulan. Something or someone, most likely our XO, was transported to an unknown location on the station. The XO is here with me, I'll see what we can do about that right away.
XO_Cmdr_Sovak says:
CSO: Can you transfer this information to the LCARS network? I'll head back to the bridge and hand this to the captain...
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACITON: No sign of external injuries
CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
*CSO* Romulan, you say? Wasn't there a Romulan with that visiting Admiral earlier ...? ::Thinks - "curious very curious"::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::nods:: XO: No problem sir, I get right on it. ::Begins to enter some commands into the console and within seconds the information is transferred.::
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
@OPS_Green: Thank you and can you inform every nearby Starbase their traffic will increase and heve them inform other vessels Starbase 123 is closed for incoming vessels?
XO_Cmdr_Sovak says:
::Nods:: CSO: Good work.. ::Turns around and leaves, his pace slightly increased::
Host SM_Lilia says:
$ACTION: The door gives away from Pazoski's touch. Its dawn outside indeed. A clear blue sky is lighting overhead. He is in a balcony overlooking a green field. He can see a few ships landed and some movement on the ground. Soldiers? Hundreds of them. A small transparent lift is on the side of the balcony
OPS_MCPO_Green says:
@OPS_Tar: Yes Sir.
OPS_MCPO_Green says:
@::sends messages to nearby Starbases::
OPS_MCPO_Green says:
@::scans area:: OPS_Tar: Sir, all but three vessels have left the area.
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
@::sighs::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Longfellow>::looking very serious:: CTO: You overestimate your Captain. And I will report your threats ::keeps looking forward::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::As the XO left he starts to think.:: *CMO*: Come to think of it... at the party on the station there was a Romulan with a Mr. Anderson. I remember Sollo, our TO talking about them... I think we might have another lead there as well.
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
@::reaches the crew quarters with his security team and finds the dead bodies:: Self: What the?! ::his eyes grow big:: Security team: Secure the deck! ::taps his combadge:: *CO*: CEO to the Captain, sir, we've just found T'mok and Sarn dead in their shared quarters.
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
Longfellow: Well I’m sure you heard that our Captain just arrested Admiral Ix... and I know for sure you are not even a quadrupenal zecimal important as she is.
LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
$::Steps cautiously out of the room, shielding his eyes from the light for a moment and leans on his hands against the balcony rail:: Self: What have you got yourself into this time? ::moves over to the lift and sees if he can activate it::
CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
::Nods:: *CSO* Then I would talk to the Captain and get working on tracking that lead down.
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
@::sends out a repeated message to the three remaining vessels::
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
::keeps Longfellow still as the CTO continues::
XO_Cmdr_Sovak says:
::Enters the bridge and walks over to the CO:: CO: Captain, I think you should see this..
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 :: shakes his head slightly :: *CEO*: understood, secure the area - I’ll send the doctor over to examine the scene
Host SM_Lilia says:
$ACTION: With the light Pazoski realizes he is no longer wearing his SF uniform but a white one with blue lines
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
*CMO*: I hope it helps you as well. I'll head for the bridge and have a little talk there. Nelson out. ::He takes a PADD and starts running to the bridge as fast as he can.::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
*CMO* Could you make your way to Lieutenant McKnights location on the Starbase - he has found a couple of bodies and we need to establish the cause of death
XO_Cmdr_Sovak says:
::Taps a console to pull up the information the CSO just put on the database:: CO: I think we have another problem..
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 XO: what have you got?
CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
::Frowns:: *CO* Aye, sir. On my way.
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
@ *CO* Aye sir, McKnight out. ::taps his combadge again:: *SB OPS*: Starbase 123 OPS, this is Chief Engineering Officer John McKnight of the USS Elara, I need you to send down more security officers to deck 23, section 8. There has been a double murder.
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
@*CEO*: Acknowledged. I'm on it.
XO_Cmdr_Sovak says:
CO: It would seem that Pazoski was not on the shuttle when it exploded.. It seems he was beamed out just before.. Now, the initial scan showed a federation signature, however, a but of further investigating lead the science department, and I concur, to believe it was actually Romulan in origin..
CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
::Grabs a med-kit, complete with Tricorder, and informs Teyna to take his upcoming appointment. Promptly exits sickbay and heads to the nearest turbo lift::
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
@*Security*: OPS to Security, there has been a double murder at deck 23, section 8. Get security personnel over there.
LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
$::looks at the uniform and remembers how good the SF one felt compared to this, immediately the headache comes back and he stumbles against the wall.  Thinking that when he was angry with SF the headache went away begins focusing on the fact that it was their inadequate security that has got him here and as he becomes more annoyed with them the headache fades away...::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::In record time he arrives at the bridge and nearly trips over his feet as he is too impatient to wait for the doors to fully open.:: XO/CO: Sirs!
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Longfellow>CTO: You are an ignorant bully aren't you? Nothing in the universe gives you the right to torture a prisoner and get away with it
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 :: looks at the information Sovak is showing him :: XO: i see :: turns to the inrushing CSO ::
XO_Cmdr_Sovak says:
::Turns around to face the CSO::
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
@*CEO*: Starbase Security is on its way. Do you want to have the investigation under responsibility of the Starbase or of the Elara?
Host SM_Lilia says:
$ACTION: The lift reaches the ground and a few passing "officers" salute Pazoski
CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
@ ::Takes the connecting bridge over to the Starbase, having gotten the CEO's location from the main computer there, he runs over to a lift:: Lift: Deck twenty-three!
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
Longfellow: Torture... my... oh dear...These are civilised times... And until now I didn’t lay a hand on you... Now can we get to the matter at hand here... Who gave you the order to fire on the shuttle?
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
::looks at the CTO:: CTO: Torture? When did we start torturing him? I think I would have remembered that.
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
XO/CO: Sirs! I have found out that Commander Pazoski is probably still on the station. I just remembered that there was a Romulan at the party, right before the XO flew out. Remember that Mr. Anderson that Sollo was talking about?
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
@<Security> *SBOPS*: Yes Sir, Security is on its way. Security out.
Host SM_Lilia says:
@ACTION: The TL obediently takes the CMO to the requested deck
LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
$::decides to himself now that his head feels less likely to pop off that someone has probably done something to his brain again, perhaps neural conditioning, just like that time when... see's the "officers" pass and instinctively returns their salute:: Self: They think I am one of them... wait, I AM one of them...
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 :: nods :: CSO: Go on
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
@*OPS* The captain gave me an order to escort them to the Elara for questioning, I think we will have to investigate this one as well. There is no doubt that it is in some way connected to the main case we are trying to figure out.
XO_Cmdr_Sovak says:
::Raises an eyebrow and keeps listening::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Longfellow>::remains looking forward::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Still tries to catch his breath:: CO: Well, this Mr. Anderson had a Romulan with him at that time. I might suspect his involvement in this. We need to know more about him. Perhaps we can get Sollo to identify this Romulan and we could question this Mr. Anderson fellow. Perhaps Sollo was right about him all along.
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
@*CEO*: Acknowledged. You have the authority to use the security personnel which is under way to the scene now. But just those.
CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
@ ::Arrives at Deck 23, Section 8. Sees the CEO:: CEO: Lieutenant McKnight, the Captain sent me over. Where are they? ::Referring to the corpses::
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
TO: Is it me or is the temperature too hot in here.. And mister Longfellow so warmly dressed..  :: pulls out his Bat’leth and quickly cuts the left sleeve on Longfellow’s uniform::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Longfellow>::looks up at the CTO::CTO: I would like to keep my uniform thank you. And I will still report you
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
@*OPS*: Thank you ensign, McKnight out. ::turns to the CMO just arriving to the scene of the crime::
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
CTO: I must get Lieutenant McKnight to fix the environmental controls in here.
Host SM_Lilia says:
$ACTION: Landed in the distance Pazoski sees a familiar form, though he can't pinpoint where he saw the ship before. As he approaches he sees its name ...
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Looks from the CO to the XO and back, awaiting their response.::
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
@CMO: Hello doctor, the bodies are inside ::points into the quarters:: I have two security officers in there, use them if you need help with anything.
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 CSO: I want to tie up everything here before we go off chasing after anyone not on the station, can you identify the destination of the transport location - if Pazoski is still here we need to find him
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
TO: Ow... hear that... he wants to keep his uniform does he? ::cuts his chest section of the uniform and rips it open , not damaging Longfellow:: Here we go… now he's ready for a week on Risa... ::grins::
CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
@ CEO: Thank you, Lieutenant. If you could please join me inside, as well, did you move them at all? ::Enquiring as he enters the quarters::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Longfellow>::smirks at Starbuck not showing any sign of fear::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::shakes his head:: CO: Unfortunately not sir. I was fortunate to find that hidden trace of the Romulans in that beam as I did. At least I am pretty sure it was somewhere on the station.
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
CTO: Very nice, but I think shorts would be in order on Risa. ::smiles::
CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
@ ::Comes in and looks at the two corpses, immediately taking out his medical tricorder and scanning. He pulls out the tiny sensor and runs it over their bodies::
XO_Cmdr_Sovak says:
::Looks sideways at the CO:: CO: If I may.. It could be a good idea to have Sollo get together some kind of picture, an image we can use to find this Romulan. We'd have to be careful, because at the moment, all we have are these speculations, not a shred of evidence.. However, it would be good have our options worked out as much as we can..
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
@ ::follows the doctor inside the quarters:: CMO: No, we have not done anything to contaminate the scene of the crime, I have ordered my security team not to touch anything. Everything is as we found it.
CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
@ CEO: Thank you, Lieutenant. Didn't mean to question your competence here. Things are getting a bit energetic back on the ship, so I'm just covering the bases.
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Nods at the XO's idea:: XO: Thank you sir.
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
Longfellow: You find this amusing? ::nods to the brig officer to leave:: Computer: Override internal sensors in the brig  shutdown, Starbuck  Pi Pi Omega J
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 CSO: its a big station if we search randomly we wont find anything soon, try patching into the Starbase sensors, look for bio signatures... anything you can think of just to at least narrow down the search
LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
$::rubs his eyes as he gets closer to the vessel and has to double check the name:: Self: G.E.M.  This cannot be my ship can it...?
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Computer>CTO: Permission denied. Captain's authorization required
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
@ CMO: No worries doctor, you just make sure you don't miss anything in the forensic scans. We don't need another dead end, as we already have a few. ::moves away so the doctor can do his job::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Looks a little more excited now.:: CO: I might be able to narrow it down sir. ::He walks over to his console and brings up the information he transferred from the lab.::
CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
@ ::Tricorder beeps after a moment. Looks up:: CEO: Complete shut down of their bodily functions. Judging by state of necrosis in the body, it started in the stomach area. More than likely a poisoning. ::Thinking aloud now as he continues to read and analyse the findings from the Tricorder::
CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
@ ::Silent for another minute or so. Presses a few buttons on the Tricorder, encouraging certain scans. It beeps again:: CEO: Andorian Ankirogens.
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
::leave the cell:: *CO*: Captain, I have a small request to make if it's all right with you. Shutdown the internal sensors in the brig for a regular check-up. It has to do with Longfellow ::hopes that the Captain will get the punt::
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
@ CMO: Ankirogens doctor? ::is not familiar with that term::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
XO: we cant go hunting any Romulan on the basis that his race fits what we are looking for, we will remain suspicious for now and nothing more than that, have Sollo put together everything we have on him but don’t make any move yet, the Romulans are backing this investigation and we cant afford to upset them needlessly
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Longfellow>::listens to the CTO's com with interest, showing the first signs of alarm::
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
@ ::sends one of the stations security officers to the Starbase Lounge to recover the replicator and rations logs while waiting for the CMO to answer his question::
XO_Cmdr_Sovak says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: CO: Yes sir, that is what I just suggested..
XO_Cmdr_Sovak says:
::Nods at the CO and turns around:: Computer: Computer, locate ensign Sollo..
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
Longfellow: You're sweating mister Longfellow, don't tell me you're actually worried about what might happen to you.
CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
@ ::Looks up, then stands up:: CEO: Very dangerous bacteria from Andor. Deep in some of their more ... untouched rainforests. They're very effective in killing most sentient beings. They usually exist in the stomachs of some very incredible animals on Andor, and can't live for long outside of them.
LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
$Self: I used to play with this ship when I was little, but... they made it?  That’s not... but why? ::looks rather confused at seeing his "toy" standing in front of him in all its glory::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Computer>XO: Ensign Sollo is in the brig
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 *CTO* As you wish, those sensors were always a bit funny, best to get them checked out - going offline now
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::With a little more effort he was able to narrow the transporter location down slightly:: CO: Sir, I think we have a more positive location on the transporter beam. I have been able to narrow it down to the lower section of the base. Unfortunately there are only some unused cargo bays.
XO_Cmdr_Sovak says:
::Nods and heads off towards the exit and into the TL:: TL: Brig.
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 CSO: take a team down and check it out
CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
@ CEO: The Andorian Consumavore ... rare animal, hardly seen. Swallows it's prey whole and allows the Ankirogens to kill it. It's then slowly broken down and eaten.
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
*CO*: Thank you sir.  ::gets back in the cell and turns to the TO:: TO: Your free to go.. I’ll settle what's left here..
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
@ CMO: Hmm interesting, and is there any possibility that these, bacteria.... might affect other life forms on this Starbase?
OPS_MCPO_Green says:
@::rescans the area for any vessels again::
CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
@ CEO: Doubtful. They can't live outside of the consumavores for very long. Certainly not long enough to assault any of us.
XO_Cmdr_Sovak says:
::Exits the TL and enters the brig a moment later, looking around::
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
::releases Longfellow pushing him forward as he does so and leaves the Brig heading for a TL shaft::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Nods:: CO: I will sir. I'll report as soon as we have found anything. ::Rushes from the bridge to the TL::
CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
@ CEO: I read a report, however, that operatives in certain black markets ... such as the Orion Syndicate for instance ... had paid poachers to acquire consumavores and removed the ankirogens, and found methods of using them for poisonings.
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Longfellow>::gulps and looks at the CTO;:
XO_Cmdr_Sovak says:
::Notices the TO:: TO: Whoa, just a moment ensign...
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
@ CMO: What about after they die, are they traceable?
CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
@ CEO: The ankirogens, or their victims?
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
::grabs Longfellow's arm and puts it on the table spread out while keeping him in a lock then puts his Bat’leth over one of his fingers:: Longfellow: Enough with this ... Tell me who ordered you to shoot and what happened that a direct hit with full power destroyed the transport.. NOW! Or I swear to God I WILL leave you unable to play the guitar
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
@ CMO: The bacteria you mentioned.
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
::stops in his tracks and spins round to face Sovak:: XO: Sir?
OPS_MCPO_Green says:
@::reads scan results:: OPS_Tar: Area is clear of vessels and all Starbases have confirmed they understood the message, Sir.
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
@OPS_Green: Very good mister Green. ::smiles slightly::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Longfellow>::appears to be in an internal struggle:: CTO: I ...I... ::suddenly feels much better and looks up defiantly:: CTO: I can't play it anyway
CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
@ CEO: They don't survive long after the host body dies. However, their effects on the blood-stream are unique in a fashion, and thus make the diagnosis of their poisoning easy to identify.
XO_Cmdr_Sovak says:
TO: Captain asks you to draw up an image of the Romulan you spotted with Mister Anderson...
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
@ CMO: Alright doctor, this is what I want you to do. I need you to make me a sensor profile of the bacteria’s bio-chemical structure so I can program the stations sensors to look for them. ::types something on his Tricorder::
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
::puts pressure on the Bat’leth just enough so a little cut starts to form on his finger:: Longfellow: Don't dare me
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
::looks confused:: XO: The Romulan sir? Then I was right about Anderson?
CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
@ CEO: Understood. I would like permission to take the bodies to the Elara's sickbay for a full autopsy. I want to find out how exactly the ankirogens got into these people.
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Waits as the TL starts to make his way to the floor for him to get off and head into the station.:: *TO*: Sollo? Nelson here... care to take a few of your colleagues and join me for a search in the station?
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
@ CMO: Permission granted.
XO_Cmdr_Sovak says:
TO: We do not know, but we wish to find out... Now, get to it... ::Walks further into the brig as he heard what sounded like shouting::
CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
@ CEO: We should consider the fact they were more than likely poisoned. And recently. They've only been dead for an hour.
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
*CSO*: Unfortunately I have just been handed another assignment, which takes priority at the moment Nathaniel.
