Dr_Salina says:
::sits in a holographic console on the holodeck, facing a perfect replica of the average Paior::

Host The_Storyteller says:
ACTION: A day has past since the CTO was kidnapped. He has been missing ever since. Meanwhile, the Doctors on the Elara get closer and closer to finding a solution ...

CSO_LtJG_Nelson says:
::Walks back into the lab and looks around, trying to see who's there.::

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
@::watching Ewelin’s house::

Dr_Greene says:
::With Salina in the holodeck, at a console of his own, checking the results of their latest test::

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Ewelin> @ ::Exits her front door, and moves toward the nearest public transport hub::

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
:: on the bridge orchestrating things with typical efficiency ::

Host The_Storyteller says:
# ACTION: The CTO finds himself in an enclosed, dark room. He is groggy and has obviously been drugged. There seems to be no exit or entrance. Or any other opening.

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
@::discreetly follows Ewelin, periodically taking scans of the surrounding area::

Dr_Salina says:
Greene: Your latest sequence modifiers seem to be on the right track. But I am worried about side effects

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
#:: slowly opens his eyes.. nothing but darkness around him.. he doesn’t know if he's really seeing or just in a dream.. his hand touches the floor and the cold wet feeling startles him.. he awakes..::

CSO_LtJG_Nelson says:
*Greene*: Dr. Greene, Nelson here. I notice that you have left the science lab. Are you done here?

Dr_Greene says:
::Nods slowly:: Salina: We need to find a way to neutralize them... I am not sure whether the side effects would develop to be serious or not...

Host The_Storyteller says:
# ACTION: A voice speaks over an apparent speaker in the room - "Lieutenant Cosmo Starbuck, Chief Tactical Officer, U.S.S. Elara. We have questions for you."

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::in his office OPSing::

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
#::speaks in open space.. not knowing where or whom to speak to:: Well.. too bad... i don't have answers..

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
@::Glances curiously around him as he studies his surroundings with little interest, sighing rather audibly he begins making his way towards the CTO's last known location. At least from what his tricorder is showing::

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@::on the surface in the alley that the CTO was last seen, tricorder in hand and a look of determination on his face::

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
@::still following Ewelin to see where she's going::

Dr_Greene says:
::Looks up, a bit surprised:: *CSO*: Uhm, yes, we have finished there, thank you... You can join us in the holodeck, we could use your help I think...

Dr_Salina says:
Greene: I doubt they will accept that as an option ... but considering they kidnapped one of your people. Do we still really want to help them?

CSO_LtJG_Nelson says:
::Looks at the mess that is left behind.:: *Greene*: Mind if I ask what exactly is in the holodeck? To be honest, I do not have time to submit to pleasures at the moment. ::Starts rounding up the mess.::

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
@XO: Are we planning on involving the local police? I'm pretty sure this had something to do with the group that trying to sabotage the device. Perhaps if we'll know a bit more about them.. ::Glances around him curiously::

Dr_Greene says:
Salina: I agree... however, I am a doctor, it is my duty to help where I can.. And I certainly think I can help here...

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::accesses his terminal and checks the proceedings in the holosuite Greene is working in::

Host The_Storyteller says:
# ACTION: The voice - "We are not entirely certain about that. Why is a Starfleet vessel here?"

Dr_Salina says:
Greene: And this is still a very fascinating problem to me

Dr_Greene says:
::Wonders what pleasures he would need to CSO for, but quickly dismisses that way of thinking:: *CSO*: We may need some help on the holographic replications of the Paior..

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@::scanning for the CTO's DNA and finds something, bends down to confirm it:: CIV: For all we know he could have been kidnapped by the people who have built this thing, or someone else.  There is some blood here, its Klingon.

CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
::opens a hatch outside main engineering and climbs all the way down a J-tube to deck 13:: Self: Heh, just in case the turbolifts have been tampered with.

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Ewelin> @ ::A public hover transport slows at the hub, and she moves to get on it::

CSO_LtJG_Nelson says:
*Greene*: Did you already receive the requested samples from Lieutenant Tar yet? ::Still rounding up some of the mess.::

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
@ XO: Hold on, I got something. I think ::Pauses, he crouches and studies something on the ground. He motions the XO over:: XO: Tricorder is picking up something, looks like some fiber filaments.. Seems to belong to.. ::Raises an eyebrow in wonder:: That's odd.. Patten matches by 97% a defensive mesh used by some Romulan officer garments. Seems this is getting better and better by the minute.

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
#::in the same blank air:: We were delivering supplies to a nearby outpost

Dr_Greene says:
*CSO*: Yes we did, and we are going through experiments as we speak.. I just want to be sure we have completely accurate and, most of all, correct replicas when it comes to the genetic implimentation and representation..

Host The_Storyteller says:
# ACTION: The voice says nothing, and waits for the CTO continue.

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
@::follows ready to get on the transport if Ewelin does::

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Ewelin> @ ::She gets on::

CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
::before opening the hatch to deck 13, he switches on the force field in the J-tube:: *OPS* McKnight to Lieutenant Tar, I need some help with fixing deck 13, can you get to a console?

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
#::notices the silence::.. when we got hit by an energy wave of some sort that altered the reality onboard our ship..

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
@::quickly hops on the transport just as the doors close::

Host The_Storyteller says:
# ACTION: "The Gorowac Device," the voice simply says. "What do you know of it?"

CSO_LtJG_Nelson says:
::Rounds up the last PADDs and other stuff.:: *Greene*: I'll see what I can do and be there shortly. Nelson out.

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@::grumbles:: CIV: Then we are going to have to be really careful, if the Romulans are here then there is no telling what they have planned.  ::resumes his scans and taps his badge:: *CO*: Pazoski to Timrok

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
*XO* Go ahead

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> ::Arrives on the bridge with a security escort::

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
#::grins:: Well.. it makes a nice light show.. but I’m not a man for eye candy so I really can't say...

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::hears the incoming communication and taps his badge:: *CEO*: Tar here, you mean a console on deck 13?

Dr_Greene says:
::Turns his attention back to the data::

CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
*OPS*: Not, just any console. I need you to scan the deck when I put up these signal amplifiers. ::sticks one amplifying module to the hatch leading to deck 13::

Dr_Salina says:
::sits back in her holographic chair:: Greene: I am pretty much out of ideas. But I get intrigued by that Gorowac device ... they though they could raise the dead

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@*CO*: Sir, Maor has found a fiber fragment at the scene where the CTO was kidnapped, it would appear to be part of a Romulan Guards uniform.  There may be Romulans on the surface or they may have a vessel in the area.

Host The_Storyteller says:
# ACTION: "We are not in the mood for games, Lieutenant Starbuck. The Gorowac Device is made up of stolen technology. Stolen technology that could lead to a diplomatic incident if the Federation is found to be involved ..."

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
@::discreetly watches Ewelin to see if she tries to communicate with anyone::

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> ::Waits patiently for the CO to be done::

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@CIV: So the trail appears to start and end here. ::does another scan:: You see anything that looks like a transporter beam or evidence of a ship landing here?

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
# ::appears a bit stunted:: Stolen... all i know is that they had brief contact with the... ::hesitates:: Who are you anyways?

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
*XO* Understood, I’ll take a few extra precautions here, i suggest you do likewise. Just remember - were guests on this planet and can't go causing too much trouble

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Ewelin> @ ::Seems to be lost in thought, just sitting their on the public shuttle::

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
*CEO*: I'll be heading to the bridge for those scans. I'll contact you when I'm ready. Tar out.

Host The_Storyteller says:
# ACTION: A door appears on one of the walls, and brilliant lights fill the room, momentarily blinding the CTO.

CSO_LtJG_Nelson says:
::Puts away the last PADDs and walks over to one of the duty SO's to instruct him to make notes of people making a mess in the science lab, then heads out.::

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::stands from his chair and heads for the nearest TL::

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@*CO*: Too much trouble sir?  I wouldn't dream of it.  I will keep you informed of any further developments.

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::enters the TL:: Computer: Bridge.

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
# ::holds up his arm to block out the immediate light penetrating the darkness of the room::

Host The_Storyteller says:
# ACTION: The voice - "Exit the room, please."

Dr_Greene says:
Salina: A scary idea.. And dangerous too.. Look what it has brought us.... ::Shakes head::

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
*XO* very well, Timrok out    :: noticing the lingering Klamca ::

CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
::climbs back one deck above, then goes via a corridor to the other side of the ship to place the second module::

Dr_Salina says:
Greene : And I heard some gossip...which Mr. Nelson may prove or disprove. The authorities didn't fire it...they don't know who did it

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
# :: cautiously gets up and while his eyes get used to the bright light.. he exits the room..::

Host The_Storyteller says:
<CMO Lt. Raythan> ::Enters into the holodeck:: Greene / Salina: Hello all. I figured I'd come and see how you were all progressing ...

Dr_Greene says:
::Looks sideways at her:: Salina: They.... ::Thinks for a moment:: Is that so?

CSO_LtJG_Nelson says:
::Begins to make his way towards the holodecks::

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::the TL stops at deck 1 and the doors slide open::

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
Klamca: do you have many Romulans down there then?

Host The_Storyteller says:
# ACTION: The CTO finds himself on the bridge of a Romulan scout ship. On the viewscreen is the USS Elara, in orbit of the Paior homeworld. Several Romulans are on the bridge, at stations, now turned to look at him.

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> CO: Pardon?

Dr_Salina says:
CMO: Hello Dr, we have pinpointed some of the major genetic problems that led to their sterility. But our tentative cure may have nasty secondary effects ::points him to the data::

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
@XO: Perhaps it's not needed, I'm detecting the CTO's tricorder. A faint signal, I'll attempt to boost it. ::Pauses as he begins playing with his tricorder:: Ah. ::Glances down, he notices the badge debris. With a curse he closes the tricorder and raises up:: Perhaps we should ask around?

CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
::climbs down into the J-tube on the other side, arriving at the deck 13 hatch. Again he places a force field and plants the second signal module on the hatch:: Self: This should do the trick.

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::enters the Bridge and walks over to the aft OPS console::

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
Klamca: you ARE aware that there are Romulans on your planet?

Host The_Storyteller says:
<CMO Lt. Raythan> ::Looks at the data:: Salina: What sort of side effects?

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> ::Looks troubled:: CO: No, I was not.

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
# Self: Aw man.. I just knew it... Romulans... ::notices the Elara on the viewscreen and looks concerned::

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> CO: The last time the Romulans were here was months ago.

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
@::waits patiently for the transport to reach its destination::

Dr_Greene says:
::Looks around at the voice behind them:: CMO: Ah, doctor... Welcome...

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
OPS: Go to yellow alert

CSO_LtJG_Nelson says:
::After a short walk he arrives at the holodeck where Dr. Greene and Dr. Salina are and enters is.::

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Commander Terlak> # ::Steps up from his chair:: CTO: Lieutenant, I am Commander Terlak. This is the R.E.S. Robyn.

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@CIV: I very much doubt that anyone has seen anything, but we can always try. ::looks around the alley:: Where shall we start?

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::hears the CO:: CO: Aye Sir, ship at yellow alert.

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
Klamca: I'm afraid not, or at least it appears that way

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> CO: What has happened?

Host The_Storyteller says:
@ ACTION: The transport arrives as the Fellowship of Kent Imperial Compound: the same fancy complex the CO & CNS visited Primeverate Glupiec at. Ewelin exits the transport, and starts to head for one of the entrances.

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
# Self: Might as well be friendly... ::looks at the commander:: Terlak: Impressive looking ship... :: a moment of silence:: .. so what is this about, truly..

Dr_Salina says:
CMO: They could be prone to the same diseases their ancestors were, or other genetic effects. Its the sort of thing we will only know with a live ... subject

CSO_LtJG_Nelson says:
::Takes a look at the progress both doctors have been working on.:: Greene/Salina: Good day docs. What have you got thus far?

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
@::Pauses to think:: XO: Perhaps, if we find more information about the group I was telling you about before we can find some more leads. Assuming they're the same group.

CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
::programs the scanner to interface with the Elara’s network and moves away from the hatch::*OPS*: McKnight to OPS, the scanners are in place, tell me when you're ready to start.

Dr_Salina says:
CSO: I was just explaining to Dr Raythan. We have a good lead but are concerned about the side effects of the treatment

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
:: peers at Klamca suspiciously :: Klamca: One of our officers disappeared

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Commander Terlak> # ::Crosses arms:: CTO: We were hoping you could explain that to us. We had a trade negotiation in progress with the Paior months ago. Then they went behind our back and manipulated our system of trade. We had no idea how severely until recently. Now we've come back to find a Starfleet vessel in orbit, and we have questions ...

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::configures internal sensors of deck 13:: *CEO*: Tar to McKnight, I'm ready for the needed scans.

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
@::exits the transport and starts casually admiring the building as he discreetly watches Ewelin::

Dr_Greene says:
::Nods at the CSO as he enters before launching into an explanation to the CMO:: CMO: The thing is, with the changes in their genetic structure, there is indeed no way to tell which way things will turn. They could be come immune to certain diseases, they could also become extremely viable to catch them. In either case, without certainty, I am not sure we should proceed...

CSO_LtJG_Nelson says:
::Moves over to Salina, standing really close to her.:: Salina: What side effects?

Host The_Storyteller says:
<CMO Lt. Raythan> ::Scratches chin:: Salina: There is the question, of course. Do they go extinct now ... or wait for the pain of disease to afflict their people once again?

CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
*OPS*: Alright, you can start the scans when ready, I've setup the connection with the ships systems. ::stands back again::

Host The_Storyteller says:
# ACTION: All eyes are on the CTO.

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Ewelin> @ ::Disappears into the complex::

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> CO: Have you informed the Primeverate of this?

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
#Terlak: Hm.. I might be wrong doing this.. but it's my mistake to make... The Paior have a certain genetic problem.. inbreeding. Only a few generations remain.. With the Gorowac device they had in store to contact their God...

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
:: nods ::

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
Klamca: Naturally, its not as if we would be keeping secrets now is it?

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Commander Terlak> # ::Quirks eyebrow:: CTO: To what end?

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@CIV: I think we need to be careful here, we are outsiders.  I have heard what these people do to those that are different. ::resumes scanning, looking for foreign energy signatures:: Why don't we see if there are any bars or other places where people gather around here.

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> ::Ignores the insinuations in the CO's statement:: CO: Do you feel this is in regard to the Project: Avalon break in?

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
@::finds a quiet corner and takes his Commbadge out of his pocket:: *CO*: Sollo to the Captain.

Dr_Salina says:
CMO: I suppose that ought to be their choice. I am a scientist, I never expected to make such decisions ::looks at Greene and Nelson for input::

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
#Terlak: For guidance i suppose...

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::initiates scans:: *CEO*: Scans are in progress. I'll relay the results to your tricorder.

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
@::Nods, he begins making his way towards the closest bar:: XO: Now that's the first good idea I heard today.

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Commander Terlak> # ::Starts laughing::

CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
*OPS:* Acknowledged Lieutenant. ::pulls out his tricorder::

CSO_LtJG_Nelson says:
::Turns his attention to Dr. Greene.:: Greene: I agree with dr. Salina here. If they make their own choice in that, we can't be held responsible if something goes terribly wrong.

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::sets results to be relayed to the CEO::

Host The_Storyteller says:
<CMO Lt. Raythan> ALL: Perhaps it should be their decisions. Or perhaps we shouldn't fix anything. These people chose to play god and fight the natural course of their world centuries ago, and look where it has gotten them.

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
#Terlak: Appears you had no idea of this, then, I suppose?

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
:: noting who the incoming COMM is from :: Klamca: I tend to work on facts rather than feelings, excuse me one moment

Dr_Greene says:
::Slowly shakes his head:: CMO: It is a choice between two evils, sir... On one hand, if we do not help them, they are going to die out... If we do help them, we have a good chance we push them to certain doom anyway... Difference would be, without our help, at least it would be of natural causes and not some, quite possibly painful, diseases...

Host The_Storyteller says:
<CMO Lt. Raythan> ALL: Nature has decided to fight back. Perhaps by meddling now, we will make things worse? Perhaps they need to face evolution, to change for the better? There are examples of mutations in their world.

CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
::receives the data on his tricorder and starts analyzing it::

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@::exits the alley and takes a look up and down the street:: CIV: This place is kind of out of the way... hardly anyone around

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Commander Terlak> # CTO: No, we were not aware of their reasoning. Only their crime. So you were affected by their attempts to talk to ... a God, and came here to investigate?

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
:: walks to his ready room and receives the FCO's COMM there :: *FCO* Go ahead

CSO_LtJG_Nelson says:
All: Perhaps, but the way I see it, they have nothing to loose. In either way, they could die, but if we could... well... change them back to 'normal', they feel content with the fact we at least tried.

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> ::Watches the CO exit::

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::checks the progress on the holosuites::

Dr_Salina says:
CMO: Yes but are they quick enough? If we hadn't meddled in our own evolution with antibiotics and disease cures, we would never have reached the space age ...

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
*CO*: Is this channel secure?

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
*FCO* It is now

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
@XO: Then we just ask about any outsiders recently, ones that resemble.. Romulans.. ::Raises an eyebrow in amusement:: Ah, there we go. ::Glances up as he notices a strangely decorated bar in front of them, a rather foul smell emitting from inside it::

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
:: initiates encryption ::

CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
::puts his tricorder away and climbs out of the J-tube, heading for his office in main engineering to study the results::

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
@ *CO*: I've discovered a lead... one of the scientists created a new user profile on the devices security computers which was used to access the device.

Dr_Greene says:
::Looks at the CSO:: CSO: Will they? What if they would blame us for what could be a painful death? We need to do further research either way... ::Nods at the hologram::

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::walks over to his OPS console::

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@::almost recoils at the aroma:: CIV: I think this is a really bad idea, we don't want to go inflaming the situation here.  Go and have a poke around inside, I am going to wait out here.  You know, to keep an eye on things.

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
*FCO* An inside job?

Host The_Storyteller says:
<CMO Lt. Raythan> ::Nods::

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
# Terlak: Actually.. we came here for first contact since we had no idea they have developed warp capabilities yet... also to ask about the storage occurrences on our ship... I don't think you would like your deceased crew coming back to drag you into the , now missing, floor..

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::at OPS OPSing::

Dr_Salina says:
CSO/CMO/Greene: I really don't have an answer here. Your Captain seemed to want us to help. But if I read your prime directive correctly I am not sure we should. To me it is just an interesting biological problem. But the reality of this civilization is far more complex

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
@::Enters the bar, he pauses momentarily as he tries to adjust to the low lights. With a frown he turns around and smirks at the XO's direction:: XO: Chicken. ::Makes his way towards one of the stools::

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Commander Terlak> # CTO: Too true. We are going to return you to the surface. You can contact your vessel from there. Inform your Captain we are here, and will be continuing to investigate the Paior for their theft of our technology, and what that has to do with the Gorowac device. We will be in contact ...

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
@*CO*: It certainly appears to be... I tailed the suspect and she led me back to the Kent Imperial compound. in my disguise I don’t have the authority to follow her inside.

Host The_Storyteller says:
@ ACTION: The bar is unlike anything the CIV has seen before. Strange music emits from the ceiling as various patrons sit on floating stools. A wooden statue of "Kent" is to the side, with various putrid drinks behind the counter.

CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
::enters main engineering, nodding to the engineering officers on duty. He passes them and enters his office pulling out his tricorder and uploading the data to his computer::

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
*FCO* Then perhaps it is time to be more up front?

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
@::Sits down, he motions the bartender over::

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@::chuckles inwardly and resumes his scanning of the area while looking suspiciously up and down the street:: Self: Where did you go?

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
# Terlak: ::smiles:: See how nice it is when we all just get along...

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Female Bartender> @ ::Approaches:: CIV: Greetings.

Dr_Greene says:
::Glances at the hologram:: CMO: Excuse us sir, we still have a lot of work to do before we have definite results... Perhaps we will still find a solution without serious side effects...

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Commander Terlak> # ::Makes a motion to someone to the side::

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
@*CO*: Sir, I'd like some of our security officers down here to cover the exits to the complex and any transports monitored and tracked.

Host The_Storyteller says:
# ACTION: The CTO is beamed off the Romulan scout ship, and finds himself on the surface ... not too far from the XO.

Dr_Salina says:
Greene: The question is if we can ever be 100% certain there will be none

CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
::sits at his chair and looks at the screen, take a cup of coffee into his hands::

Host The_Storyteller says:
<CMO Lt. Raythan> Greene: Keep me informed. ::Departs::

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
@ ::notices the XO and walks silently behind him : XO: ..

CSO_LtJG_Nelson says:
::looks from Greene, to Salina and to the CMO, then waits for a moment.:: All: Well, seeing this has become more of a medical thing now and besides that a moral issue, I doubt if I be of much help here. If you'll excuse me. ::Turns around and leaves as well.::

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
@::Nods slowly, he smirks in amusement as he studies the bartender:: Bartender: Like wise, he pauses to study the people that sit beside him before returning his attention back to her:: Busy night?

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Female Bartender> @ ::Stares at the CIV with interest:: CIV: It wasn't until you arrived ... you're from off world. Are you a Romulan?

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
@::taps him on the shoulder:: XO: You.. looking for anyone? ::smiles::

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@::watches his tricorder go mad as it detects the energy signature and the Klingon DNA, without turning:: CTO: Would you like to tell me where you have been Lieutenant?

Dr_Salina says:
::frowns at the departing CSO and CMO::CSO/Greene: No one wants the difficult questions ...why don't you give them for your Captain to answer?

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
*FCO* That could make things rather difficult with Glupiec - hold on, i'll see what help i can get

Dr_Greene says:
::Nods:: Salina: We need to learn that by experimentation.. Preferably on these holograms.. ::Hears the CSO:: CSO: Hang on, just a moment.. I had hoped you could take a look at the holographic simulation interface.. I am not sure, I think there are some imperfections in the representation of the Paior with regards to medical fitness...

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
@XO: I would enjoy nothing better sir... I had a little chat with our Romulan friends.

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
@*CO*: Standing by.

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
:; exits his ready room and approaches Klamca ::

Dr_Salina says:
Greene: No replicate can be perfect ::takes a peek::

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@::still doesn't turn around:: CTO: And?

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> ::Was staring at the view screen, then turns to the CO as he exits the ready room::

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
@::Shakes his head with a slow smile, he chuckles slowly:: Bartender: Nope, not a Rommy. To be honest been ages since I last saw one.

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Female Bartender> @ ::Smiles:: CIV: Then what are you ... exactly?

CSO_LtJG_Nelson says:
::Before he actually leaves the room he turns around.:: Greene: With all due respect sir, medical is not my area of expertise. I recon you know a lot more about that than I do. I'm sorry.

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Ewelin> @ ::Suddenly exits the compound, in a huff and apparently upset::

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
Klamca: I have an officer on the surface who may be able to use your help, but the question is can i trust you?

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
@XO: And.. it appears they were misled by the Paior.. They are responsible for the technology trade but it appears they didn’t know about their attempts with the Gorowac device.

CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
*CO*: McKnight to the captain, sir I've just received the scan results from deck 13 and it seems that our sensors are not picking up some rooms and furniture. There is a lot of unstable energy flowing down the corridors which might be some of our crewmembers in a different.....state.

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> CO: I would like to think so. What is wrong?

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
@::spots Ewelin and resumes his surveillance::

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
@Bartender: Half a Bajoran, half a Klingon. ::Offers a wide smile:: Ever heard of those? ::Raises an eyebrow in amusement::

Dr_Greene says:
::Shrugs and turns to his hologram:: CSO: If you think so... ::Taps his console to implement a new test sequence::

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
:: pauses his conversation with Klamca once again :: *CEO* What can you do to correct the situation?

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@::turns and faces the CTO:: CTO: I suspect the Romulans are not very happy about that.  ::smiles grimly:: 

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Female Bartender> @ ::Quite fascinated:: CIV: No ... No I really have not. ::Eyes go wide at something behind the CIV::

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@::taps his badge:: *CO*: Pazoski to Timrok.

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Ewelin> @ ::Stomps past the FCO, quite upset about something. Seemingly uncertain about what to do::

CSO_LtJG_Nelson says:
::Nods:: Greene: I'll be around if you have anything non-medical for me to work with. ::and leaves the holodeck.::

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
@XO: Not really but still.. they are as interested in this matter as we are.. they even got a scout ship in orbit watching the Elara very closely.

Host The_Storyteller says:
@ ACTION: A large hand comes down on his shoulder ... the CIV smells something bad, "Off worlder ... just as bad as those brown haired freaks ... Kent has words about people like you."

Dr_Salina says:
::looks at the sequence Greene inserted:: Greene: That might help. But it doesn't solve the problem pointed out by Dr Raythan of whether or not we should intervene

CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
*CO*: Well captain, we could try setting up a contamination field and gather the energy, work on some kind of way to get our people back as they where before.

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
@Ewelin: Excuse me... are you ok?

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
@Bartender: One second please. ::Slowly he turns around in his stool, he slowly raises his head until he reaches the alien own head:: Alien: Ah. I'm guessing this will turn ugly.

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
*CEO* I don’t want you trying anything risky, is that as risky as it sounds?

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@::mumbles at the CO not answering him:: CTO: Only a scout ship?  ::thinks for a moment:: Did they tell you what they plan to do about the situation?

Dr_Greene says:
::Nods:: Salina: It is for the captain to make the call.. As long as I am ordered to do the research, then I will.. And if we are to implement, I would do so too...

CSO_LtJG_Nelson says:
::Makes his way back to the bridge.::

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Ewelin> @ ::Stops suddenly, as if she didn't really hear the FCO. It's possible his universal translator's having trouble translating, but then she shakes her head:: FCO: What ... no ... just don't ... leave me alone.

CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
*CO*: It shouldn't be to difficult picking up the energy, then we can use the transporter buffer to materialize the object and our crewmembers.

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
@XO: They didn’t but I would keep a close eye on the Gorowac device... they might have other plans for it.

Host The_Storyteller says:
@ ACTION: A hulk of a Paior, not good in looks, stands behind Maor - "You have no idea freak."

Dr_Greene says:
::Presses some more buttons:: Salina: How does this look?

Dr_Salina says:
Greene: You are right I suppose

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
*CEO* Well OK, if you are sure that's the best course of action then go ahead

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
@::decides to follow her again::

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@CTO: I see we are on the same wavelength:: *CIV*: Mr Maor you can some out now.  I have the CTO, we have other concerns.

Dr_Salina says:
Greene: Its certainly an improvement ::taps a few buttons to correlate the data:: Greene: We can try the gene therapy on this new simulation

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::runs some level 4 diagnostics::

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Female Bartender> @ ::Yells:: Igor: Igor, I don't want any trouble in here!!

Dr_Greene says:
::Nods:: Salina: Let's go for it...

CSO_LtJG_Nelson says:
::Arrives at the bridge and walks over to his console to relief the duty SO. Immediately he starts checking what he had missed on and sighs:: Self: Ahhh, good to be back on the bridge.

Dr_Salina says:
::nods:: Greene: You do the honors

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
@ Alien: Perhaps, perhaps you can help me with something. ::Raises to his feet:: How can I help you buddy? I'm sure we can solve this issues in a more sensible way.. I'm not one of the brown haired freaks, I'm actually looking for them. From your expression I can assume we're on the same wave link. Hmm? ::Taps his communication badge:: *XO*: In a moment Commander, I'm having a bit of a dialog here.

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
:: turns back to Klamca :: Klamca: Lieutenant Sollo is on the surface and he needs access which you may be able to provide, i would like you take accompany a small security team and jion him

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Igor> @ ::Growls at the CIV, saliva dripping down his chin:: CIV: You have brown hair ... you are an off worlder ... you are a freak ...

Dr_Greene says:
::Nods and presses the button to activate the sequence:: Salina: Here we go..

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> ::Nods:: CO: If you feel that is the best course of action ... I would feel more comfortable if you come along, however ...

CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
::starts working on a program which to upload into the transporter system computer:: Self: I need something to collect the energy molecules, hmm. ::drinks some coffee::

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
Klamca: I have some things i need to take care of first, you go ahead, Sollo will fill you in on the details

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@::rolls his eyes:: *CIV*: If it is one of your usual dialogs can we make it very brief.  Remember we are guests here and we have what we came for...

Dr_Salina says:
::looks at the hologram, which doesn't change much aside from a few marks on the screen and a slight change of hair color:: Greene: Now lets age the simulation ....

Dr_Greene says:
::Nods:: Salina: That would be your field... ::Smiles at Salina::

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@ *OPS*: Pazoski to Tar

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Ewelin> @ ::Walking down the street::

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::hears his badge chirp:: *XO*: Tar here. Go ahead Sir.

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
@::Wonders what might have annoyed Ewelin so much that she appears to have no idea where she's going::

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
@Alien: Right. ::Taps his badge again:: *XO*: It's not up to me anymore. Perhaps you should join on the fun? ::Turns his attention back to the alien:: Now, I don't want to cause any trouble here.. ::Slowly moves his weight to this left foot::

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
*OPS*: Ah someone is still alive up there.  Could you please inform the Captain that I have the CTO and that there is a cloaked Romulan Scout ship somewhere near the Elara.

Host The_Storyteller says:
@ ACTION: CRACK! Igor moves fast for someone his size, and brings a fist hard to Maor's jaw.

Host The_Storyteller says:
@ ACTION: The XO / CTO hear shouting from inside the bar.

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::frowns:: *XO*: Yes, we are still alive, Sir. I'll inform the captain.

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Igor> @ ::Tries to choke the CIV::

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
@::Curses, he growls and tackles the alien with all his "might"::

Dr_Salina says:
::nods at Greene and starts aging the simulated Paior and looks at his genetic makeup::

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Igor> @ ::Cries out and falls back with the CIV::

Host The_Storyteller says:
@ ACTION: Other patrons shout and cheer, holding their beverages. A few move to perhaps help Igor.

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
@XO: ::notices the shouting:: Anyone of ours?

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> CO: I see. Where should I go? The transporter room?

Dr_Greene says:
::Looks at the holographic Paior::

Dr_Salina says:
Greene: It looks ok, no premature age-related diseases but ...

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@::looks at the CTO:: CTO: Next time remind me to go into the bar and have the CIV wait outside! ::draws his phaser and cautiously enters the bar::

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::taps his commbadge:: *CO*: Lieutenant Tar to captain Timrok. Commander Pazoski asked me to relay a message to you, Sir.

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
@::Glances around in worry, with a quick glance down he smiles wickedly and kicks the alien in an undisclosed location. Hoping to get a reaction to allow him to escape::

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
@XO: Right.. ::fallows behind him::

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
:: nods to Klamca, then points to the conveniently awaiting security team :: Klamca: they will show you the way

Dr_Greene says:
::Looks at Salina:: Salina: But..?

Host The_Storyteller says:
@ ACTION: Two others growl and move in on the CIV ... the XO / CTO come in just in time to see the CIV dealing with three Paior on his own.

CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
::finished with the program and starts up a simulation:: *Lt. Yellow*: McKnight to Lt. Yellow. Lieutenant I need your assistance in my office.

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Klamca> ::Nods and follows, collecting his thoughts::

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
@::discreetly follows the distracted Ewelin down the street waiting for her to get to somewhere quiet::

Dr_Salina says:
Greene: I am not so sure about the strength of their immune system. The changes we introduced are interfering with their antibody production. Maybe they can't win, either they loose reproducibility or they loose health. Which amounts to the same really

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Ewelin> @ ::Arrives somewhere quiet::

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@::glances at the CTO:: CTO: This is why we never take him anyway ::fires at the largest Paior::

Host The_Storyteller says:
@ ACTION: One Paior goes down.

Dr_Salina says:
<Lt Yellow>*CEO* As you wish but I am very busy ::makes his way to the CEO's office::

Host The_Storyteller says:
@ ACTION: Everyone goes quiet at the phaser burst and stares at the XO & CTO.

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::continues:: *CO*: Commander Pazoski has got the Chief Tactical Officer and he also told there is a cloaked Romulan Scout ship somewhere near the Elara. Shall I go to Red Alert?

Dr_Greene says:
::Nods:: Salina: We may have to face that option... They may not be curable...

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
*FCO* Sorry for the delay, I'm sending Klamca to your location, he has the local authority you may need to assist you

CTO_Lt_Starbuck says:
@Self: Not good...

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
@::quickly approaches Ewelin and lays a hand on her shoulder while activating his COM Badge with the other:: *Elara*: Two to beam directly to the brig!

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
OPS: No, yellow will do

Host The_Storyteller says:
<Ewelin> @ ::Cries out in surprise::

Host The_Storyteller says:
ACTION: The FCO & Ewelin are beamed up to the Elara.

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
*CO*: Yes Sir. Tar out.
