<<<<<<<<<<<Begin Mission>>>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::in the command chair:: FCO: Estimated Time of arrival to the mining outpost?

FCO_Voraye says:
::At helm monitoring the course to Mining Outpost 1247::

CTO_Hexx says:
::At Tactical.::

FCO_Voraye says:
CO: Not long, 13 minutes at present speed.

CEO_McGregor says:
::In ME going over details from the latest warp core diagnostics::

CMO_Calahan says:
::moves around sickbay as she helps her staff finish preparations for their arrival::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CMO*: Is all in readiness? We are about 10 minutes from reaching the mining outpost.

CTO_Hexx says:
::Reviews the data on the mining outpost.::

FCO_Voraye says:
::Thinks to self, "I could go for a screwdriver hold the vodka."::

CMO_Calahan says:
::stops, straightens and looks around:: *CO*: I believe so....I'm on my way up to the bridge in a moment, actually.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CMO*: Good. When you get here tell me who you are taking on the Away Team.

CMO_Calahan says:
*CO*: Understood. Calahan out.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CEO*: How are we doing below decks, Chief?

CMO_Calahan says:
::turns around and presses her thumb print on a PADD of orders, then nods to Sariah as the young nurse moves off to quarantine patients in the recovery unit, regardless of their status::

CEO_McGregor says:
*CO*: Everything is nominal Captain. Going over the Warp Core diagnostics now

CMO_Calahan says:
::nods to Dyani, and then turns and exits sickbay (fresh cappuccino in hand) and moves to the TL:: TL: Bridge.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CEO*: Good glad to hear it. Everything should be quiet down there for you soon. We will be arriving at the mining operation in... ::looks at the chronometer:: Oh five minutes or so.

FCO_Voraye says:
CO: Four minutes, thirty-three seconds. Thirty-two. Thirty-one. Thirty. Twenty-nine......

CEO_McGregor says:
*CO*: Everything is quiet down here sir. Ships systems at 92 %...Running smoothly

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::smiles at the FCO and stands corrected::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CEO*: Very good. Keep it up. Llewellyn out.

CEO_McGregor says:
::Finishes up reading the diagnostic data and sees only a small adjustment to the warp alignment is in order::

CMO_Calahan says:
::walks onto the bridge, stops to sip her cappuccino and nods to the CTO, then walks down to where Heather sits and slides into the XO's chair...::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: What's the situation out there, Mister Hexx. ::nods at Keely when she sits down::

CMO_Calahan says:
::reaches into her lab coat pocket and withdraws a PADD, then hands it to Heather....the AT assignments she'd drawn up and briefed everyone to....then she sips her cappuccino again::

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: Scanners are clear ma'am.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::nods as she reads the PADD, hears Hexx, looks back at him and nods::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CMO: Might I suggest you take some of the tactical crew with you?

CMO_Calahan says:
::smirks slightly:: CO: I was thinking you might. Feel free to suggest.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::turns to Hexx:: CTO: Open hailing frequencies to the mining operation.

FCO_Voraye says:
CO: Entering range of Outpost 1247. On screen. ::Puts it on screen::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
FCO: Thank you.

CMO_Calahan says:
::looks up at the Outpost and then back to Heather::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CMO: We will find out if they need anything other than medical attention.

FCO_Voraye says:
CO: Putting us in a standard orbit. ::Places Europa in Standard Orbit::

CMO_Calahan says:
::nods::

CEO_McGregor says:
::Decides to head to the bridge::

CEO_McGregor says:
::Enters TL :: Bridge

CEO_McGregor says:
::Wonders what Dyani is doing right about now::

CTO_Hexx says:
::Hails the miners.::

Host Sid says:
@::Answers the Hail::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
COM: Outpost: Sid: This is Captain Llewellyn of the USS Europa. We've come to help you with your medical situation. What is your current status?

CMO_Calahan says:
::is leaned against one armrest of the XO chair and sipping her cappuccino::

Host Sid says:
@COM: Europa: CO: About time you made it.  I've got some really sick miners here.

CEO_McGregor says:
::Enters the Bridge and heads for Engineering 1::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
COM: Outpost: Sid: How many are currently ill?

CMO_Calahan says:
::raises an eyebrow at the response::

CEO_McGregor says:
::Energizes Engineering 1 console::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::hears ENG 1 power up and glances at the CEO::

Host Sid says:
@COM: Europa: CO: I got about 10 who are out of commission, there are 15 or 20 more showing symptoms and 2 are dead.

CMO_Calahan says:
::sips her cappuccino::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
COM: Outpost: Sid: What kind of quarantine method are you using?

CTO_Hexx says:
::Muses on the difference between "out of commission and dead".::

CEO_McGregor says:
:;Punches keys to monitor ships systems form the bridge::

Host Sid says:
@COM: Europa: CO: Quarantine methods?  This is a mining outpost, not a Starbase....

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
COM: Outpost: Sid:   ::suddenly realizes that her old CMO habits die hard:: Oh... this is my Chief Medical Officer.... Doctor Calahan... ::motions to her::

CMO_Calahan says:
::raises and eyebrow and mutters under her breath about quarantine methods....gives a slight smile and blinks at the sudden...introduction::

CTO_Hexx says:
::Wonders if they have doors in their mining shacks.::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: Do you have a lay out of the operation?

CMO_Calahan says:
COM: Outpost: Sid: You do not have any sort of quarantine or attempts at a quarantine in place?

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: Just the housin' area.  The mines themselves are too deep.  And, as usual with asteroid mines, the sensors won't penetrate the ore.  You'd a thought Starfleet woulda fixed that by now.

CEO_McGregor says:
::Initiates sensor to determine power output currently in use on the outpost::

Host Sid says:
@COM: Europa: CMO: Good to meet ya Doc.  No, there's no way we could quarantine down here.

CMO_Calahan says:
COM: Outpost: Sid: Have you determined if this...outbreak...is spread through the air?

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: Believe me if the technology were available.... they would have. Can I get a lay out on a PADD so that maybe the Doctor can look at it to set up a quarantine area?

CMO_Calahan says:
::nods slightly in acknowledgement....and decides to send a word of it::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: Now that I think about it... send that information over to the CEO... maybe he can jury-rig a space like that so no more miners get infected also...

Host Sid says:
@COM: Europa: CMO: We have no doctors here, but as far as our corpsman can tell it is airborne.

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: aye ma'am.  Downloads the map to a PADD for the Captain.::

CTO_Hexx says:
::Sends the layout down to engineering with a quick note to see if an area can be sealed off from the rest as a quarantine area.::

CMO_Calahan says:
::curses under her breath and looks at Heather with a slight shake of her head:: COM: Outpost: Sid: What are the symptoms you speak of?

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CEO: Mister Hexx will be sending you a map of the outpost . Can you take a look at it to see if there might be a good area to make a triage/quarantine area... ::then sees Keely's shake of the head::

CEO_McGregor says:
::Looks at the information sent by the CTO::

CEO_McGregor says:
CO: Aye Captain

Host Sid says:
@COM: Europa: CMO: It’s a lot like a cold to begin with... then the bleeding starts.  The skin starts to bruise, the eyes turn red, nose bleeds... then it gets really nasty.

FCO_Voraye says:
::Blinks at described symptoms::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::cringes at the description::

CTO_Hexx says:
::Winces::  All: Sounds like that "Eboli" I read about.  Nasty little critter.

CMO_Calahan says:
::raises an eyebrow, unphased by the description:: COM: Outpost: Sid: I'm listening. ::sees the bridge crew's reactions and then turns around to frown at Hexx:: On second thought, just a moment...

CTO_Hexx says:
::Sees the CMO look at him, wonders if he opened his big yap at the wrong time.::

CMO_Calahan says:
CTO: Mute the COM....

CTO_Hexx says:
::Thinks::  "Yup, stepped in it alright."::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::waits for Hexx to do so and looks at Keely::

CMO_Calahan says:
::looks to Heather:: CO: There is no possible way for us to know for sure without going down there whether it is airborne or not...as I'm sure you know...

CTO_Hexx says:
::Mutes the COM.::

CEO_McGregor says:
CO: Captain ,there is a storage compartment that seems to be isolated from the rest of the facility that can be made into an isolation ward. It has it’s own power supply and can be sealed off

Host Sid says:
@::Waits patiently::

CMO_Calahan says:
CO: I don't want to send a full team down there without knowing for sure. I can do the initial exams, and I won't need medical support. However, this does sound like an old illness we eradicated years ago....::hears the CEO and glances at him briefly:: That could work.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::hears Keely and McGregor at the same time:: CEO: Excellent. CMO: Yes. An initial investigation with full quarantine protocols... do you think they have a sample?

CMO_Calahan says:
::shakes head:: CEO: Complete sealed....as in no ventilation to the rest of the outpost?

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CMO: Alright. If you go... I want you to have some back up. Take Hexx with you at the least.

CEO_McGregor says:
CO: Captain ,could we not send a probe down to collect air samples?

CTO_Hexx says:
::Eyes widen::

CMO_Calahan says:
::nods:: CO: You and I think quite alike. I was going to take myself, Doctor Vantrip, and Hexx. ::looks to the CTO briefly::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CEO: A good idea.... ::looks at Calahan:: CMO: Keely?

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: Uh ma'am, umm, ya know I'd just get in the way...and I don't think the doc really wants my company...

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::looks at Hexx:: CTO: You aren't afraid are you/ ::smiles a little::

CTO_Hexx says:
::Unbidden visions of a very bloody and undignified end come to mind.::

CMO_Calahan says:
:;pauses slightly....and thinks, while she drums her fingers on the arm rest a moment:: CO: It is worth a shot...but I’m not sure how much time we have...is there any way at all to determine from here the air quality?

CEO_McGregor says:
CO: I could go with her sir, it would give me a chance at a first hand look at the storage compartment

CMO_Calahan says:
::addresses her last part of the statement to the CEO also::

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: ::Draws himself up straight::  Ma'am, a Texan ain't afraid of man nor beast.  However, viruses that turn your guts to pudding is another matter....But I'll go.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::nods at the CEO:: CEO: Also a good idea. ::smiles at Hexx when she hears him::

CMO_Calahan says:
::gives Hexx a short smile, and nods:: CTO: That's the spirit. And don't worry...we'll go down in EV suits to start with, unless we can figure out a way to determine air quality here. ::turns slightly back to heather..:: I'm afraid that as a doctor, I will go insane waiting for a probe to be modified and do its job. ::smiles::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CMO: Alright... Full quarantine procedures. Take a team down to the surface. Hexx, McGregor and the doctor you mentioned should accompany you.

CMO_Calahan says:
::nods and rises to her feet, then looks to the CTO to unmute the comm::

CTO_Hexx says:
All: Ah don't suppose y'all would consider beaming one of the miners up, using the transporter's bio-filters to isolate the bug, send him back down and then work on a cure up here would ya?

CEO_McGregor says:
*Engineering*: Mr.Thomlanson you have engineering, until further notice.

CTO_Hexx says:
::Unmutes the comm::

CMO_Calahan says:
::raises an eyebrow at the CTO with her 'no, I will not' face, then turns::

CEO_McGregor says:
 <Thomlanson>: Understood sir, Engineering out

CEO_McGregor says:
:;Locks down engineering 1::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: The filters only work on viruses it can identify.

CEO_McGregor says:
::heads over and stands with the CTO ::

CMO_Calahan says:
COM: Outpost: Sid: Myself and three others will come down tot he outpost. Please send us coordinates to transport to, and meet us there.

CMO_Calahan says:
::nods in agreement to Heather's statement::

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: I understand that ma'am.  So how do we know this isn't one of 'em?

Host Sid says:
@COM: Europa: CMO: Look forward to seeing you doc.  ::Coughs slightly::

CEO_McGregor says:
CMO: But we can alter the filtration partial size allowances to the suits

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: We don't but why take that chance? No point in getting the Europa infected as well.

CMO_Calahan says:
::raises an eyebrow and blinks...hm....yeah, none not infected...:: COM: Outpost: Sid: Yes...we'll be down momentarily.....

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::hears Sid cough, wonders if he is sick also::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CMO: You are in charge. Keep me informed as to what you find.

CTO_Hexx says:
CEO: Well, last time it was cloaked rats.  This time it's a flesh-eating virus...y'all take me to the nicest places.  ::Smiles grimly.::

CMO_Calahan says:
::glances at Heather and nods, then turns and walks to the TL doors:: CEO/CTO: So, how fast can you two put on EV suits?

CEO_McGregor says:
CTO: We aim to please ....we do

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::has a soft chuckle at her CTO's words::

CTO_Hexx says:
::Walks with her::  CMO: Takes me about two weeks ma'am.

CEO_McGregor says:
CMO: As fast as I can down a shot of scotch

FCO_Voraye says:
::Wonders how contagious this virus is::

CMO_Calahan says:
::smirks:: CTO: Then you may have a small problem. ::grins at the CEO:: CEO: Good. I think we'll have to help the CTO tie his shoes. ::steps into the TL::
