17:08] <Frank_SM> The USS Europa is still at Science outpost 927, the mystery is beginning to unravel.

[17:08] <Frank_SM> <<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[17:10] <CTO_Lingn> @::flying the Runabout::

[17:11] <CSO_Enki> @::Sitting guard over the prisoners... none of them stirring yet::  CTO: Chief, did you call the Europa, tell them to prepare for us?

[17:12] <CNS_Pecic> Nurse Antina  can you awaken him?

[17:12] <CTO_Lingn> @CSO: On my list of things to do. *CO*: We are heading home, we got prisoners.

[17:12] <CO_Farrel> ::Still in sickbay::  CNS: I wonder what could of caused this type of synaptic failure...

[17:13] <CO_Farrel> ::taps:: *CTO* Acknowledged...  did you say prisoners?

[17:13] <CSO_Enki> <Nurse_Antina> CNS: I could... but it might do more damage than good... ::prepares a hypo knowing they'll ask her to do it anyway::

[17:14] <CNS_Pecic> CO_Farrel: Believe synaptic degradation caused by an experiment gone awry.

[17:14] <CTO_Lingn> @*CO*: Well some of them attacked us. We sedated all of them. So they will not attack us. I did not want to take any chances.

[17:14] <CO_Farrel> ::nods to Pecic, and then looks to the nurse::  MO: Wait, I don't want to risk further damage to Jacobs.  We'll interview the others while we let him rest.

[17:14] <CNS_Pecic> Nurse: Do it Anyway. OK?

[17:15] <CNS_Pecic> Nurse_Antina: No please awake him now I need to speak to him.

[17:16] <CO_Farrel> *CTO* Very well.  Do you think it's safe to have them checked out in sickbay?  Or should we confine them?

[17:16] <CSO_Enki> <Nurse_Antina> ::Grumbles to herself::  Sure, why should anyone listen to the medical professional... ::presses a hypospray with a mild stimulant to the patient's neck, and watches his readings on her tricorder::

 [17:17] <CNS_Pecic> CO: No they must be separated and confined safely.

[17:17] <CO_Farrel> CNS: Counselor, it's just not worth risking Jacobs heal-  ::hears the hypo spray and frowns::  MO: Nurse, I said not to wake him.

[17:17] <CTO_Lingn> @*CO*: I believe we should confine them. Until we can assess their mental state.

[17:18] <CIV_Chitwa> ::pops out of a JT hatch in Sickbay::

[17:18] <CNS_Pecic> :pats nurse Antina on the back:

[17:18] <CO_Farrel> ::nods at the recommendations.:: *CTO*: Very well, have them confined.

[17:18] <CTO_Lingn> @::begins the approach to land in the shuttlebay and signals to let them aboard::

[17:19] <CTO_Lingn> @*CO*: We can confine them in sickbay with restraints. Please beam them over.

[17:19] <CNS_Pecic> Nurse_Antina :I do not doubt your professionalism ,I must follow my Gut.

[17:19] <CO_Farrel> MO/CNS: What's done is done... monitor his condition closely...  ::sighs and watches Jacobs stir.::

[17:20] <Jacobs> ::Slowly begins to awaken::

[17:20] <CIV_Chitwa> ::sniffs around::

[17:20] <CSO_Enki> <Nurse Antina> ::Monitors her tricorder quietly::

[17:21] <CNS_Pecic> ::steps closer to Jacobs::

[17:21] <CO_Farrel> *CTO* Alright, we'll beam them to sickbay.  Are the prisoners still sedated?

[17:22] <CIV_Chitwa> ::sees someone on a bio-bed and tilts her head::

[17:22] <Jacobs> Self: Al?

[17:23] <CO_Farrel> CNS: Go ahead counselor, there was something you wanted to ask him?

[17:23] <CTO_Lingn> @*CO*: Very.

[17:23] <CNS_Pecic> Jacobs: No there's no  Al here Cmdr. Jacobs.

[17:24] <CNS_Pecic> Jacobs: Just Starfleet personnel.

[17:24] <Jacobs> CNS: Then where did he go?

[17:24] <CO_Farrel> ::nods hearing Lingn's voice.::  *CTO* Activate runabout transporters, and beam them directly to sickbay.  ::Taps the intercom on the wall.::  *Shipwide* Security team to sickbay.

[17:24] <CTO_Lingn> @::activates and beams::

[17:25] <CNS_Pecic> Jacobs: I think he is still here ,you just aren’t Him.

[17:25] <CNS_Pecic> ::gives Jacobs a BEAR hug::

[17:26] <Jacobs> AL: Would you come over her and get this guy off me?  Hmmmph.

[17:26] <CNS_Pecic> Jacobs: I assure he is not going to affect US.

[17:26] <CTO_Lingn> ::begins approach to land in the shuttlebay::

[17:26] <CIV_Chitwa> ::giggles:: All: AL!

[17:26] <CNS_Pecic> Jacobs: He cannot affect us.

[17:26] <Jacobs> Al: And leave that cat alone!

[17:27] <CNS_Pecic> ::motions to Chitwa to come over::

[17:27] <CSO_Enki> <Nurse_Antina> ::Whoa, buddy.  Moves quietly to the Captain::  CO: Call 
me if you need anything.  I'm going to monitor from the main ward.

[17:27] <CNS_Pecic> Chitwa: please tell Lt. Cmdr. Jacobs who you are.

[17:28] <CIV_Chitwa> ::tilts her head and watches the CNS::

[17:28] <CO_Farrel> ::nods:: MO: Alright.

[17:29] <CO_Farrel> ::Turns and sees Chitwa, and suddenly thinks about her pendant, she looks to see if it is around the Caitian's neck.::

[17:29] <CTO_Lingn> ::lands the runabout in the shuttlebay::

[17:29] <Jacobs> Action: The six scientists from the station materialize in Sickbay.

[17:29] <CIV_Chitwa> ::ducks behind a bio-bed::

[17:29] <CNS_Pecic> Chitwa: whispers, give him some Meows.

[17:30] <CTO_Lingn> CSO: We are home.

[17:30] <CNS_Pecic> ::go's over picks up cat brings to Jacobs::

[17:30] <CO_Farrel> ::Moves to the master control, and activates restraining force fields on all six patients.::

[17:30] <CIV_Chitwa> CNS: Meow?!

[17:31] <CSO_Enki> ::Watches as the last dematerializes and stands from her chair::  CTO: Smooth ride... *CO*: Captain, orders?  Should we return to the station and try to gain access to the computers, or remain on the Europa?

[17:31] <Jacobs> CIV: Heeeerrrreee Kitty Kitty. ::moves his hand as if he will pet her if she comes over::

[17:31] <CNS_Pecic> Jacobs: Here see? What is this|?

[17:31] <CTO_Lingn> ::heads for the turbolift::

[17:32] <CIV_Chitwa> CNS/Jacobs: Mew?

[17:32] <CO_Farrel> *CSO* Return to the station, and continue your investigation into what caused all this.  

[17:32] <CNS_Pecic> Jacobs: This is a Caitian We are all part of the same Family.

[17:32] <CTO_Lingn> ::heads back to the runabout::

[17:32] <CO_Farrel> ::Grabs Chitwa's arm, and stops her.:: CIV: Wait.

[17:33] <CNS_Pecic> Jacobs: Do you know what family I speak of?

[17:33] <CTO_Lingn> *CO*:What are my orders?

[17:33] <Jacobs> CNS:  I think your nuts.

[17:33] <CO_Farrel> *CTO* Assist the CSO in her investigation.

[17:34] <CSO_Enki> ::Looks around to see where the CTO went::

[17:34] <CIV_Chitwa> ::hisses at the CO::

[17:34] <CNS_Pecic> Jacobs: You are right ,I have my papers Do you?

[17:34] <CTO_Lingn> ::powers up the runabout::

[17:34] <CNS_Pecic> Jacobs: But I survived my insanity ,will you?

[17:35] <Jacobs> ::Makes meowing noises and keeps scratching the air, trying to get the cat to come::

[17:35] <CNS_Pecic> Jacobs: I can only hope you do.

[17:35] <CO_Farrel> ::still holds onto Chitwa, in a protective stance::  CIV: Cadet, it's not safe in here.  ::lowers her voice to a whisper:: These patients are mentally unstable, they are dangerous.

[17:35] <CIV_Chitwa> ::flicks her ears back and hisses louder, fluffing her tail fur up::

[17:36] <CNS_Pecic> CO: I think a furry creature is a good thing here.

[17:36] <CSO_Enki> ::Blinks twice::  CTO: I swear you just disappeared and reappeared...

[17:36] <CTO_Lingn> *CO*:Shall we bring the cadet along to assist us?

[17:36] <CNS_Pecic> CO; It's a Friendly thing to all beings.

[17:36] <Jacobs> ::ignores the CNS, who is obviously out of his mind::

[17:37] <CO_Farrel> ::Drops her arm, and looks down, sighing.:: CIV: This is no place for a young cadet.

[17:37] <CTO_Lingn> CSO: Buckle up.

[17:37] <CNS_Pecic> ::wonders if Jacobs is the truly sane one.::

[17:37] <CIV_Chitwa> ::curls up next to Jacobs::

[17:38] <Jacobs> ::begins scratching Chitwa behind the ears::

[17:38] <CIV_Chitwa> ::purrs::

[17:38] <CNS_Pecic> CO: What is the status of our away tem and missing station personnel?

[17:38] <CO_Farrel> ::Hear heart rate increases, and Hali has a distant look, recalling a unpleasant memory from the Artemis.::

[17:39] <CTO_Lingn> CSO: I was an Imperial Guardsmen. Sneaking up on enemies is what I am good at. Another one of my specialties is finding enemy moles. But it has been a long time.

[17:39] <CNS_Pecic> ::scratches his bald head::

[17:39] <CSO_Enki> CTO: We're deep within Federation space, on a Starfleet outpost... there is no 'enemy' here, unfortunately.  We're all on the same side... something else is going on, we have to find out what.

[17:40] <CO_Farrel> ::Frowns:: CNS: Counselor, run some scans on the new arrivals.  I want to 
know what's wrong with them.

[17:40] <CTO_Lingn> CSO: I know, but it never hurt to keep alert. The Dominion war taught me that.

[17:40] <CNS_Pecic> ::strokes Chitwa behind ears::

[17:41] <CTO_Lingn> ::takes off toward the Station::

[17:41] <CIV_Chitwa> ::purrs and kicks one hind foot in the air::

[17:41] <CNS_Pecic> CO: Yes sir.

[17:41] <CSO_Enki> ::Pauses at the word 'Dominion' and thinks about them where she's from... ah, thoughts to not have right now::  CTO: Guess that's why you're a tactical officer, then.

[17:41] <CO_Farrel> ::Walks up to Chitwa, and stands over her.:: CIV: I don't think you realize cadet, how dangerous even sickbay can be.  It's my job to ensure the safety of my crew...  do you understand that?

[17:42] <CIV_Chitwa> ::purrs and paws at the CO's sparkly commbadge::

[17:42] <CNS_Pecic> Bridge: What is status and location of personnel of Science station?

[17:43] <CO_Farrel> CIV: Cadet?

[17:43] <CNS_Pecic> :: goes over to Jacobs:: ::rubs his eyebrows::

[17:44] <Jacobs> Action: As the new patients are tested, it is found that they have the same condition as Jacobs, synaptic degradation.  Also, there seems to be a distinct link between their condition and the subspace disturbances that are centered on the station.

[17:44] <CNS_Pecic> Jacobs: Rest now ,we will talk later, OK?

[17:44] <CTO_Lingn> CSO: Tell me more about you. You know the usual. Family. Likes, Dislikes.

[17:44] <CTO_Lingn> ::Lands at the station::

[17:44] <Jacobs> ::ignores the CNS and continues scratching Chitwa's ears::

[17:45] <CNS_Pecic> Bridge: Please run a diagnostic on subspace waves in this Quadrant.

[17:45] <CO_Farrel> CIV: Cadet, I want you to leave sickbay.  That's an order.

[17:45] <CIV_Chitwa> ::purrs::

[17:46] <CTO_Lingn> @CSO: We have arrived. ::grabs his phaser rifle and slings it over his shoulder::

[17:46] <CSO_Enki> @CTO: Rather forward, don't you think, Lieutenant?  ::Stands from her chair as the runabout settles::  But, very well.  I come from the Trill homeworld, not far from the capital.  I had a modest upbringing - my joining with the Enki symbiant changed my life, however.  The previous host died in a horrible accident...

[17:46] <CNS_Pecic> ::pats Chitwa on shoulder and says good going cadet::

[17:47] <CNS_Pecic> CSO: Who was your previous host?

[17:47] <CO_Farrel> CNS: Counselor, I asked you to scan the patients.  Why are you not doing that?

[17:47] <CTO_Lingn> @CSO: Changed your life how?

[17:48] <CSO_Enki> @CTO: Her name was Cataline... changed how - it was so abrupt.  I had barely done half my training, I just was in the appropriate place to receive an emergency implantation.  My life completely changed from what it was - I had to wait another year to be reaccepted into the Academy, and my life's focus completely altered.

[17:48] <CNS_Pecic> CO: Not sure Sir, haven’t had a report as to their location as of yet.

[17:49] <CO_Farrel> CNS: There right in front of you.  ::points:: Didn't you notice the six patients that just transported into sickbay?

[17:49] <CIV_Chitwa> ::purr purr purr::

[17:50] <Jacobs> ::Begins to grow calm at the purring::

[17:50] <CTO_Lingn> @CSO: I hear the joining changes your personality. How did it change yours?

[17:50] <CTO_Lingn> @::scans as he walks with the CSO::

[17:51] <CNS_Pecic> ::takes tri-corder in hand::

[17:52] <CNS_Pecic> ::moves to male patient from station::

[17:52] <CNS_Pecic> Nurse_Antina :Who do we have here?

[17:52] <CIV_Chitwa> ::purrs softly::

[17:52] <CNS_Pecic> ::Looks at other station personnel in sickbay::

[17:53] <CSO_Enki> @::Looks around::  CTO: Ops might be a good place to start the investigation... and, yes, it does, to a degree.  For a while, I lost who I, Marla, was... 

[17:53] <CNS_Pecic> ::Smiles at each and every one of them::

[17:53] <CTO_Lingn> @::steps on the turbolift::

[17:54] <Jacobs> Action: The Medical Staff also learns that the crew of the Europa is also beginning to show signs of Synaptic degradation, consistent with the Station's crew, though in it's very early stages.

[17:54] <CNS_Pecic> CO: Have we been able access the station's log?

[17:55] <CO_Farrel> CIV: Cadet, you can of course, choose to disobey my orders.  But if you do, it is going to seriously harm your chances for Starfleet academy entrance...

[17:55] <CNS_Pecic> CO: I believe this syndrome may be contagious.

[17:55] <CNS_Pecic> Co: I think we should begin Quarantine measures. Sir.

[17:56] <CIV_Chitwa> ::perks her ears at the Co's tone of voice and opens her eyes::

[17:56] <CO_Farrel> CNS: And what evidence do you have to support that statement?

[17:56] <CTO_Lingn> @::rides to OPS with the CSO::

[17:56] <CNS_Pecic> CO: Please the Caitian is Helping US!

[17:56] <CO_Farrel> CNS: She is not authorized to be here.  

[17:56] <CTO_Lingn> @CSO: What do you think your purpose in life is?

[17:57] <CIV_Chitwa> CNS/CO: Mew?

[17:57] <CNS_Pecic> CO: I Believe that the Quadrant we are in will show previous evidence of events similar to this.

[17:57] <CSO_Enki> @::Smiles::  CTO: Why, I have a noble purpose in life - to affect great change on a wide scale.  Isn't that why we're all here?

[17:58] <CNS_Pecic> CO: Authorized? Are any of us Truly Authorized to be HERE?

[17:58] <CTO_Lingn> @::REB:: CSO: What type of change?

[17:58] <CO_Farrel> CNS: I'm sorry counselor.  But the evidence you have shown my does not warrant that claim.

[17:58] <CNS_Pecic> CO: THIS is SPACE Ma'am!

[17:59] <CSO_Enki> @CTO: Of that, I'm not quite certain yet.  The universe will let me know when the time is appropriate.

[17:59] <CNS_Pecic> ::wonders whether he ACTUALLY Knows how to read a tricorder::

[17:59] <CO_Farrel> ::Turns to the counselor:: CNS: You are relieved of duty.  Please leave.  

[18:00] <CTO_Lingn> @CSO: Do you have any views on any new Federation policies? Are you political?

[18:00] <CNS_Pecic> Yes Sir, my pleasure.

[18:00] <CO_Farrel> <Sec Team> ::Enters sickbay:: CO: You called ma'am?

[18:01] <CSO_Enki> @CTO: I do not consider myself a political person, but certainly we all have 
views and opinions.

[18:01] <CNS_Pecic> ::walks to turbo lift winking at Chitwa.::

[18:01] <CIV_Chitwa> ::flicks ears back and looks up at the CO::

[18:01] <CO_Farrel> CIV: Chitwa?  ::crouches down.:: Why aren't you speaking?  ::looks with concern into her eyes.::

[18:01] <CTO_Lingn> @CSO: Can I hear some of them and share some of mine. It would help pass the time.

[18:02] <CIV_Chitwa> CO: Mew?

[18:02] <CIV_Chitwa> CO: Meow mew meow meow meow mew!

[18:02] <CO_Farrel> ::Something doesn’t feel right.:: MO: Nurse!  Nurse!

[18:03] <CSO_Enki> <Nurse_Antina> ::Runs into the room::  CO: Captain?  What's wrong - what happened... ::looks at the other bodies::  Who are these people, where did they come from?

[18:04] <CO_Farrel> MO: We just beamed over the remaining six civilians from the station...  but I'm more worried about Cadet Chitwa.  She's acting very strange... I'm worried whatever it is that has effected the others has also effected her...

[18:04] <CIV_Chitwa> ::moves head under the CO's hand so she can get petted::

[18:04] <CSO_Enki> <Nurse_Antina> ::Flips open her tricorder and scans for a moment::

[18:07] <Jacobs> Action: The scans indicate that Chitwa is suffering from the same condition as the Stations crew.

[18:09] <CNS_Pecic> ::enters his quarters rather disheartened.::

[18:10] <CO_Farrel> ::Looks at the scan results:: *CSO* Commander, get out of there now!  Head back to Europa ASAP!
