<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>

FCO_Voraye says:
::At the helm monitoring orbital course around MB 1247::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::in the command chair waiting to hear news from her crew::

CMO_Calahan says:
::walks from the surgical recovery room and into the laboratory, cappuccino in hand::

CEO_McGregor says:
@::Deep within the outpost getting ready to scope out the processing facility::

CEO_McGregor says:
@*CO*: McGregor to Llewellyn

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CEO*: Llewellyn here. Go ahead Chief.

CTO_Hexx says:
::Returns to the Bridge, happy to be out of decontamination and out of that blasted pressure suit.::

CEO_McGregor says:
@*CO*: The isolation and decontamination unit are all ready to go .. I'd like to take me a look at the processing facility

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::senses Hexx arrive:: CTO: Good to see you. I trust all went well....

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CEO*: Please do. ::smile evident in her tones::

CTO_Hexx says:
::Relieves the duty officer at tactical and gets up to speed on their investigations::

CMO_Calahan says:
::sits down and checks over the scans she had in comparing the data::

CEO_McGregor says:
@*CO*,Aye...I'll let you know if I find anything worth tellin

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: Well enough ma'am, but I swear I feel them critters crawlin' all over me still.  ::Shudders::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CEO*: Thank you. Llewellyn out.

CEO_McGregor says:
@::Moves down the shaft to where the elevator unit will take him deeper into the mine::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::chuckles slightly at the CTO::

CTO_Hexx says:
::Pulls up the flight plan for the Shelton, checking it's entire route and seeing exactly where it stopped.::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
FCO: How's the maneuvering going? Any trouble?

CMO_Calahan says:
::sighs slightly and resets the scan, scanning for any match other than a virus or disease then....::

CTO_Hexx says:
::Begins running long range scans for the Shelton.::

CMO_Calahan says:
::moves over to begin looking over the tricorder data and readings the computer picked up from the AT's EV suits::

CEO_McGregor says:
@::Takes the elevator down 8 levels to the primary processor::

FCO_Voraye says:
CO: No problems here. Everything's A-Okay.

CMO_Calahan says:
*CO*: Calahan to Llewellyn... ::sips her cappuccino::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
FCO: Good to hear it... no pesky Ferengi Faeries... right? ::small chuckle and a wink::

CEO_McGregor says:
@Self: I'll be...it's darker than Loch Ness in the winter time down here...::

FCO_Voraye says:
::Chuckle::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CMO*: You must have been reading my mind... I was just about to ask what news you had.... what news do you have?

CMO_Calahan says:
*CO*: I have yet to find any match in the database for what this...thing...is. Any thoughts?

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::thinks:: *CMO*: Have you compared it to Ebola? Like Hexx mentioned... the results seem similar

CTO_Hexx says:
::Mutters unflattering things about Ebola under his breath::

CMO_Calahan says:
::begins toying with the genetics while she sips the cappuccino and speaks to Heather:: *CO*: The genetic sequences are too dissimilar to be anything like Ebola. Besides, if it were, it would be far too easy to eradicate.

CMO_Calahan says:
*CO*: I'm actually thinking that it is not a virus or whatever at all. But that is just a theory...it could be a new form of an old virus, which is why I've begun to run a few more sequences of scans with the database.

CTO_Hexx says:
::Not finding the Shelton on sensors, runs a computer model of it's flight path based on speed and course to SB 384 to determine an area to begin the search.::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::nods though Keely cannot see her:: *CMO*: Yes... Keely can you tell me from the genetic sequencing of this virus if it is naturally occurring or man made? <switch again argh>

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: Has anyone contacted 384 and told 'em to not allow the Shelton to dock?

CMO_Calahan says:
*CO*: It is organic....and if it were manmade, then it would be fairly simple to create if someone knew what he or she were doing.....::leans forward and sets the cappuccino down as she acts on a thought::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CMO*: Hm.... if it is not a virus.... ::hears Hexx:: FCO: Contact 384 and tell them to make sure the Shelton does not dock there and why.

CEO_McGregor says:
@:: Pulls out his tricorder and does a scan of the area::

FCO_Voraye says:
CO: Aye. It should be known, however that they were scheduled to dock some time ago. The going theory would be that they are probably adrift. ::Begins to compose a message to 384::

CEO_McGregor says:
@::Notices that his tricorder picks up on an organic matter reading::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CMO*: What's your idea... I am sensing a theory in those words somewhere.

CEO_McGregor says:
@*CMO*: McGregor to Calahan

CMO_Calahan says:
::smirks:: *CO*: I'll get back to you on that...::switches the channel over to the CEO, her mind now mostly engrossed in her new idea:: *CEO*: What? ::said in a kind, slightly distracted tone::

CEO_McGregor says:
@*CMO*: Doctor, A've picked up a readin of some organic material down here, Trace amounts but all around ..and it's in the air

CMO_Calahan says:
::looks up and frowns:: *CEO*: Organic material? ::moves to Jenna's tricorder scans:: Where are you? MO Jenna didn't detect anything like that that I have found here.

CEO_McGregor says:
@*CMO*: And doctor...I dunnot think it's anythin the miners would be harvestin if ya know what ah mean

CEO_McGregor says:
@*CMO*: Level 12 ,primary processing area

CMO_Calahan says:
::mutters to herself slightly and immediately switches over to monitor the CEO's EV suit:: *CEO*: Patch up your tricorder readings.

CEO_McGregor says:
@*CMO*: Aye. That’ll take a moment or two....

CMO_Calahan says:
*CEO*: That's fine.  And make sure that you keep your EV suit checked for any sort of leak.

CMO_Calahan says:
::sighs, and then turns around as the computer beeps, and walks over::

CEO_McGregor says:
@*CMO*: Ya bet your buttons ah will

CMO_Calahan says:
::smirks:: Self: I thought so....::continues working, trying to come up with something to counter it's effects::

CEO_McGregor says:
@Self: This place gives me the creeps, I wish Dyani were here, to.........well enough of that

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CTO/FCO: So.... any thing on the Shelton?

CMO_Calahan says:
*CO*: Captain, the computer found a match for symptoms.  :;pauses:: There is an organic compound, a byproduct of microorganisms, that used to be at the bottom of Risa's ocean. The symptoms are quite similar to this....almost like a toxin.

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: Nothing on sensors.  I have plotted a set of coordinates to begin the search from.

CMO_Calahan says:
*CO*: I'm trying to come up with some sort of a counter agent, but no luck so far.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::furrows her brow as she listens to the CMO:: *CMO*: A byproduct? ::thinks nice way of saying waste product?:: Alright... what do you think is causing this... byproduct?

FCO_Voraye says:
CO: No return message.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::nods at the CTO and the FCO:: CTO/FCO: Thank you. ::smiles::

CEO_McGregor says:
@::Wanders deeper into the processing facility::

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: I wonder if we should try the direct approach.  Maybe if we hail the Shelton, someone there will be lively enough to answer.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: Feel free... please do.

CMO_Calahan says:
*CO*: Microorganisms. The CEO just reported he found high amounts of organic material in the processing deck or something. I'm getting his tricorder feed now.

CEO_McGregor says:
@*CO*: Captain, The only thing I can find down here is old equipment, and of course that Organic matter

CTO_Hexx says:
::Doesn't really expect it to work but... Sends out a general hail to the Shelton.::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CMO*: Oh marvelous...  ::thinks:: Maybe we can get Sid to tell us about if only the ones who got sick were working in specified areas.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CEO*: Well I was hoping to have you have a look-see to see if we could in some way improve the processing.... but it seems you've found an important piece of our puzzle.

CMO_Calahan says:
::gives a slight shrug:: *CO*: With your permission, I'd like to transport down to the surface and do more hands-on research and work with the infected.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CMO*: Yes. Go ahead.

FCO_Voraye says:
::Looks for a return message::

CMO_Calahan says:
::pauses and looks back to the computer screen in front of her and downloads everything into a PADD to work with on the surface:: *CO*: And also, we should be fine with out EVA suits- there is no organic matter found where the AT is now, and where the infected are.

CMO_Calahan says:
*CEO*: Hey McGregor.....do a scan with your tricorder and look for organic material where the infected are.

CEO_McGregor says:
@*CO*: Captain, funny thing ...this mine was opened not to long ago right?

CEO_McGregor says:
@*CMO*: Are or were Doctor?

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CMO*: You know this stuff is the cause... I do not want people going near this stuff without protection..... ::hears the CEO:: *CEO*: That I do not know... you or the CMO should ask Sid about that.

CMO_Calahan says:
*CEO*: Both, if you can. I'll be down.....momentarily.....and I think I'm on to something for treatment. I need to know if there is organic matter where the infected are right now, for starters.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CMO*: Ask Sid when you are down there if the workers who were infected were all working in a specific of the mine.... and when the outbreak occurred.... in relation to the new area that was just opened.

FCO_Voraye says:
::Draws up star charts to attempt to plot the course of the Shelton::

CEO_McGregor says:
@*CO*: Aye, I was under the impression that this section was opened not to long ago, If so they are using some older equipment than I thought they would

CEO_McGregor says:
@*CMO*: Aye Doctor will do

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CEO*: Most likely they took the old equipment from a less profitable area of the mine to use it in the new vein.

CMO_Calahan says:
*CO*: Alright. ::leaves, PADD and tricorder in hand, then grabs the battlefield med kit- size of a duffel bag -and slings it over a shoulder as she heads to the transporter room::

CEO_McGregor says:
@*CO*: Aye ,that I'm sure...But...it's not a sealed processor like the newer ones...

CEO_McGregor says:
@::Takes more tricorder scans of the area::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::was about to ask something then hears the CEO:: *CEO*: Oh? That could be significant... would a sealed processor make a difference?

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: A subspace message is received.  The Shelton was found, her crew dead.  The same compound as found by the CEO was found in the Shelton’s atmosphere.

FCO_Voraye says:
CO: Subspace message received from 384

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
FCO: Yes? And?

CMO_Calahan says:
::walks into the transporter room, up to the PADD, a surgical mask over her nose and mouth, gloves on her hands, and nods to the transporter chief::

FCO_Voraye says:
CO: The Shelton has been found, crew's dead. The same compound that the CEO found was in the Atmosphere of the Shelton.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::looks sad:: FCO: Thank you.

CEO_McGregor says:
@*CO*: Aye sir, the newer units are used when a complete survey cannot be done by scanners. So when the processor breaks up the ore...if anything is in there that is ..well nasty...

CEO_McGregor says:
@*CO*: It's contained within the processor

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CMO/CEO*: Apparently the Shelton's crew's been found dead.... and they had the same compound in the atmosphere.

CMO_Calahan says:
::curses slightly to herself as she waits for the transporter::

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The CMO is transported to the planetoid.

CMO_Calahan says:
@::glances around and opens her tricorder....she moves toward where she detects the infected at, looking around and scanning as she moves.::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: Can you see if you can talk to Sid down below and find out from him about the miners... where they were working and so forth?

CMO_Calahan says:
@*CEO*: I'm on the surface now...where are you?

CEO_McGregor says:
@*CMO*: Still on level 12 Doctor, workin my way up

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CEO*: Understood. Can we get a sealed processor for them? Can we seal off the infected area and clean the air? What options can you give me, Chief?

CMO_Calahan says:
@::continues walking and scanning, still finding no organic matter:: *CEO*: Understood. ::stops, turns back and then arrives where she assumes the isolation ward is:: I think I just found the isolation ward. I'll be inside. ::steps through the doors::

CEO_McGregor says:
@*CO*: Well Captain, the sealed Processor is no problem....That can be found anywhere...The only way I can see to clean the air down is to Vacuum it out

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: Aye ma'am.

CMO_Calahan says:
@::looks around and sighs....she moves over to Jenna:: MO Jenna: Head back up to the ship. I'll take it from here.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CEO*: What would be the best way to do that? How long would it take? Would the Europa be able to replenish the air needed down there?

CTO_Hexx says:
::Begins trying to locate Sid.::

CMO_Calahan says:
@<MO_Jenna> ::nods and stands, then motions to the medic:: CMO: He is...in charge ma'am. ::turns and leaves::

CTO_Hexx says:
::Finds out that Sid is unconscious.::

CEO_McGregor says:
@*CO*: I'll have ta think on that one Captain, Opening a siphon to space if we can...Replacing would be able to be done with portable Oxygen generation units

CTO_Hexx says:
::Accesses the mine's computers and begins looking at their work shift schedules, comparing them to the list of the sick miners.::

CMO_Calahan says:
::walks over to the medic and clears her throat slightly:: Medic: I'm Doctor Calahan, the CMO of the Europa....who is your worst patient at the moment? ::eyes look around, but she allows the man to answer her first....even though she has a good guess::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CEO*: Let me know. I want to be able to clear this stuff out so that mining can continue.... but also I do not want to destroy what ever kind of an eco system they have on this planetoid...::pauses and thinks:: These micro organisms... where did they come from? Any idea?

CEO_McGregor says:
@*CO*: Captain, Micro organisms ...If they can live in solid rock and dilithium,or they live in pockets within the vein

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::grimaces:: *CEO*: Then if they are native to this environment... we cannot space them for our convenience.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
FCO: You have any ideas?

FCO_Voraye says:
CO: Ma'am I must say that in this particular situation I am stumped.

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: Ma'am, I have reviewed the miner's work logs.  It seems that all of the miners who were infected worked in these sections of the mines.  ::Highlights the appropriate sections on a schematic.::  They seem to be a recently expanded section.

CEO_McGregor says:
@*CO*: Aye sir, that's a fact....However the only way to mine than would be in an EV suit

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::looks at the schematic:: CTO: Hm....

CEO_McGregor says:
@*CO*: And if that’s going to be the case a sealed processor would not help much

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::hears the CEO:: *CEO*: Some how... I do not think that will be acceptable... ::mumbles:: Rhiannon... give me strength...

CEO_McGregor says:
@*CO*: They would have to isolate the mine, processor, and loading docks ...and living units all from each other
