The USS Europa is still on it's patrol of the Cardassian Border.  The crew that went to the Listening Post, however, has brought back an unexpected and unwanted guest.  A virus...
Host Frank_SM says:
<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>
XO_Vernius says:
::in sickbay, lying on a biobed::
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
::sitting at her station not feeling all that well::
FCO_Kami says:
::Lying on his biobed in sickbay, groaning from boredom.::
XO_Vernius says:
Nurse: Any news?
Host Nurse_Antina says:
::Sneezes, then walks over to the XO's biobed::
CTO_Wolf says:
::snores loudly::
CO_Durron says:
::sitting in the big chair looking a bit green, but holding his composure.:: EO: What is the distance between the Cardassian Galor and the DMZ?
Host Nurse_Antina says:
XO: Actually yes.  And it's good for you, but not good for the overall scope of things
XO_Vernius says:
Nurse: Oh?
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CO: Calculating it now sir.
CTO_Wolf says:
::wakes up and rubs head::
CO_Durron says:
CNS: What is the situation shipwide?  Dose everyone have this?
CTO_Wolf says:
FCO: Coffee?
CNS_Chitwa says:
::on the bridge, looking over reports from Sickbay::
FCO_Kami says:
::Shakes head politely.:: CTO: No thanks.
CTO_Wolf says:
::heads to replicator and orders strong coffee::
Host Nurse_Antina says:
XO: I have been looking at this virus you have for the past several hours and have come to a few conclusions.  First, you and the crew should be feeling alot better in a day or 2.  This thing will only cause any serious damage to a Cardassian.
XO_Vernius says:
::ears perk up::XO: That suggests Bio-warfare
CNS_Chitwa says:
::nods:: CO: Apparrrently so Sirrr.
CTO_Wolf says:
::listens in intently to the conversation between the nurse and XO::
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
::stiffles a wave of nausea and continues with her calucations for the distance::
FCO_Kami says:
::Sits up, listening to whats going on.::
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
::finally comes up with the answer:: CO: Sir a day away sir.
Host Nurse_Antina says:
XO: Yes... well not by itself, many diseases do not pass from species to species.  But there is also the matter of it being able to get past our biofilters and most scans.
XO_Vernius says:
CTO/FCO: Report to your duty stations, and remember this is classified.
CTO_Wolf says:
FCO: how do you feel ::slowly sips at coffee::
CTO_Wolf says:
XO:Aye sir
CO_Durron says:
CNS: Alright.  I want you and the EO working on decodeing the information the XO's team brought back.  Start with the most recent data.
FCO_Kami says:
XO: Aye, sir. CTO: I feel better, but it'll take a bit to get fully over it. You?
XO_Vernius says:
Nurse: Get some information together, we need to talk to the Captain.
FCO_Kami says:
::Stands up and heads for the door.::
Host Nurse_Antina says:
XO: That tells me that it was probably by design.  Which I have just confirmed.
CTO_Wolf says:
FCO: atcually dont feel to bad
XO_Vernius says:
*CO* Captain, report to sickbay, asap. If you please.
CTO_Wolf says:
XO:A word sir
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: Quickly, Ensign
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CO: Understood.
FCO_Kami says:
::Nods to the CTO and heads out of sickbay, walking towards the TL.::
CTO_Wolf says:
XO: I think weve stumbled across a bio weapon
CO_Durron says:
::raises a brow:: *XO* What do you need?
CTO_Wolf says:
XO: I have a suspicion that was a Bio weapon facility
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: Indeed, but this is classified information, let me brief the Captain, and I'll let you know. Until then I suggest you forget you heard any of it.
XO_Vernius says:
*CO*: Not over an open comm channel, sir.
CTO_Wolf says:
XO: Aye sir
CTO_Wolf says:
::heads for TL and the bridge::
CO_Durron says:
::stands up, and heads to the turbolift:: CNS: You have the bridge.
FCO_Kami says:
::The TL takes him to the bridge, where he exits and heads towards his post.::
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CNS:  Well lets get started on this.  ::watches the captain leave the bridge::
Host Nurse_Antina says:
XO: If you feel up to it, perhaps we should discuss this in my office?
CO_Durron says:
::steps into the turbolift that the FCO just exited and types 'sickbay'::
CTO_Wolf says:
::follows the FCO put onto the bridge glad to be back::
XO_Vernius says:
::nods:: Nurse: The captain should be here momentarily.
FCO_Kami says:
::He looks over at the CNS, slightly relieved that even if he had gotten her sick from being in the same room, that she would be okay in the end.::
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
::nods at the FCO as he  arrives::
FCO_Kami says:
::Nods at the EO and smiles.::
CTO_Wolf says:
::pulls down jacket and assumes post::
CNS_Chitwa says:
::blinks, wondering if the Co said what she thought he said::
XO_Vernius says:
Nurse: Do you understand the security concerns of this matter? Have you discussed it with anyone?
CNS_Chitwa says:
::looks over at the EO: Oh...ummm yes, yes of courrrse.
Host Nurse_Antina says:
XO: Yes, I understand fully and no, I have discussed this with no one, save the Medical Team that assisted me.
CO_Durron says:
::streightens up and exits the turbolift walking briskly towards sickbay::
CTO_Wolf says:
::checks over the tactical display on the on coming Galor class ship::
XO_Vernius says:
Nurse: I'll want to talk to them after we're done with the Captain.
FCO_Kami says:
::Looks over the course of the ship, getting his bearings for what he missed while in sickbay.::
CO_Durron says:
::enters the sickbay, spots the XO and Nurse in the Nurse's office and taps on the door::
XO_Vernius says:
CO: Come in, sir.
CO_Durron says:
::steps in and closes the door behind him folding his arms over his chest:: XO/Nurse: Report.
XO_Vernius says:
Computer: Lock down the room, anti-evesdropping protocols. Authorization Vernius Delta Niner Two Seven
XO_Vernius says:
<Computer>XO: Lockdown initiated.
XO_Vernius says:
CO: Sir, we have some disturbing news, Nurse?
CTO_Wolf says:
::whistles softly ::
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
::as her ears are really sensitive to sound because of the virus she hears the CTO's soft wistle::  CTO: What is it?
FCO_Kami says:
::Sighs and leans back in his chair.::
CTO_Wolf says:
EO: Oh sorry ma`am , just nice to be back at work
Host Nurse_Antina says:
CO: Sir, I have been looking at this virus for a few hours now.  First I want you to know that there is no danger to the crew.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CTO: I can sense your elation to be back at your station.
CO_Durron says:
Nurse: That is good to know, are you able to treat the symptoms?
CTO_Wolf says:
::blushes::
CNS_Chitwa says:
::sneezes, cupping her snout in her paws::
Host Nurse_Antina says:
CO: However, I have discovered that the virus that is making the crew sick was designed.  It was designed to get past scans and biofilters and to attack Cardassians specifically.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CNS: Bless you.
FCO_Kami says:
CNS: God bless.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
::starts coughing and quickly covers her mouth as the rattle is heard in her chest::
CNS_Chitwa says:
::blushes:: EO/FCO: Thanks.
XO_Vernius says:
Nurse/CO: The question becomes whether the facility was a Cardassian bio-weapons facility, or a listening post that someone used a bio-weapon ON. Hopefully the data we recovered will tell us more.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
::in between coughs:: CNS: Your.....::coughing:: welcome.  ::coughing::
XO_Vernius says:
CO: The good news is there is very little remaining at the site, the Cardassians won't know what happened.
FCO_Kami says:
EO: Maybe you should take a cough supressant or something.
CNS_Chitwa says:
::gets up and moves to help the EO::
CTO_Wolf says:
::pulls up the current data on cardassian vessels and begins to refresh his memory::
CO_Durron says:
XO: Neither do we.  Nurse: Are you able to treat the symptoms?
Host Nurse_Antina says:
XO/CO: I dont' think it likely that this was Cardassian made... it simply doesn't appear to be their work.  In fact, if I were to guess where this came from and didn't know better, I would say it looks like Federation.
CNS_Chitwa says:
EO: Do you need some help?
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
::finally stops the coughing:: CNS/FCO: It will pass like the dizziness.  Thankyou.
FCO_Kami says:
EO: Are you sure you shouldn't go to sickbay until you feel better?
Host Nurse_Antina says:
CO: Yes, antihistamines will relieve some of the symptoms, but in a few days everyone should feel just fine.
XO_Vernius says:
::Snaps his head around:: Nurse: Maquis? or the remenants of them?
Host Nurse_Antina says:
XO: I don't know.
XO_Vernius says:
CO: Sir, we need to be very careful about information dissemination
XO_Vernius says:
CO: Too many people know about this onboard the Europa as it is.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
FCO: No I am ok.  There is work here done and the captain is waiting on the translation of the encrypted data.
XO_Vernius says:
CO: And Starfleet isn't exactly known for its ability to keep secrets
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CNS: Lets get this done as soon as possible.
FCO_Kami says:
EO: I personally, don't work quite as efficiently when I'm sick... ::Shrugs.::
CNS_Chitwa says:
::nods:: EO: Lets.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
FCO: I don't think any of us works well when we are sick but there is work to be done.
XO_Vernius says:
Nurse: What are the symptoms in Cardassians?
CO_Durron says:
Nurse: Are there any partial cardasians onboard?  I recall that there was someone on the roster who's grandfather was cardassian.
FCO_Kami says:
EO: I understand that, but we don't have to be tied down to one place to do it.
CO_Durron says:
<bold last>
CTO_Wolf says:
::runs diagnostic of tactical system::
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
FCO: Really?  I think the CO made it evident that we had our work cut out for us here and no where else?
FCO_Kami says:
EO: I wouldn't know. I was in sickbay.
Host Nurse_Antina says:
XO: Without an infected Cardassain, I wouldn't know.  However the virus attacks the part of a cardassain brain that controls reasoning.  I assume it would drive them insane.
XO_Vernius says:
Nurse: Transmission?
Host Nurse_Antina says:
XO: Airborne... and it is highly virulent.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
FCO: Well then let me explain to you the orders then.  Simply put he left the CNS incharge on the bridge.  ::goes back to her work a bit testy cause she is not feeling well as it is::
XO_Vernius says:
Nurse: Wonderful... How about the Captain's question about partial Cardassians on board?
CO_Durron says:
::still has his arms crossed over his chest::
FCO_Kami says:
::Sighs.:: EO: I didn't mean to get you rilled up. I was just concerned about your welfare.
CNS_Chitwa says:
EO/FCO: Let's not arrrgue....we'rrre all not feeling well.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
FCO: Well while that is comendable and I thank you for your concern I think you should concentrate on flying.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CNS: Yes of course you are right.  My appologies.
FCO_Kami says:
EO: Who said I wasn't?
CNS_Chitwa says:
FCO: Kami..
FCO_Kami says:
::Sinks in his seat.:: CNS: Sorry...
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
::closes her eyes to clear the dizziness and opens her eyes again and goes back to work::
Host Nurse_Antina says:
CO: We better check the rosters.  Anyone with Cardassain blood in them needs to be quarantined in Sickbay immediately.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CNS: Wait I think I have the right algorythm to decipher it.
XO_Vernius says:
Nurse: Forward your information about this to the Captain and I, is there any chance you can generate an antidote?
CNS_Chitwa says:
EO: Oh? Good job
CO_Durron says:
Nurse: OK, I would like you to begin treating the crew for the symptoms.  Than begin working on an antidote.  XO: Come with me.
Host Nurse_Antina says:
XO: I don't know.  Our normal course of antivirals have no effect on it.
XO_Vernius says:
CO: Aye, sir.
XO_Vernius says:
Nurse: Do the best you can. ::Follows the Captain::
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CNS: It is a mix of two separate algorythms.  This data seems to have two decription codes to it.
Host Nurse_Antina says:
::Gets back to work::
CO_Durron says:
::walks to the door and eyes it when it dosn't open:: Computer: End Lock down, Authorization Longbow Portent.
XO_Vernius says:
<Computer>CO: Lockdown Canceled.
CO_Durron says:
::nods as the door opens and exits the Nurse's office strideing for the turbolift::
CTO_Wolf says:
::finishes diagnostic and begins sensor sweep::
CNS_Chitwa says:
EO: Extrrra sneaky.
XO_Vernius says:
::Follows the captain, lengthening his stride so not to jog::
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CNS: Yeah very sneaky indeed.
XO_Vernius says:
CO: I don't like this, sir.
CO_Durron says:
::steps into the turbolfit and presses 'bridge':: XO: Neither do I.  I want you to look over the records of recent missions in this area.
XO_Vernius says:
CO: Aye, sir. What should we do about security?
XO_Vernius says:
CO: The CTO at the very least is putting 2 and 2 together
CO_Durron says:
XO: I would assume that everyone on the ship knows you had a black ops mission into the DMZ, and people know that you don't get sick in the middle of space unless you vist a planet.
XO_Vernius says:
CO: That's.... disheartening, sir. It's been my experience that Starfleet leaks sensitive information like a sieve.
CO_Durron says:
XO: I want you to find the Federation mission that started this.  If you can't find one, than figure out who did. ::stops talking before the TL doors open and watches the CNS dash past him for the bathroom::
XO_Vernius says:
::raises an eyebrow::CO: When you gotta go, you gotta go.
CO_Durron says:
::looks around the bridge:: ALL: Report.
CTO_Wolf says:
::notices the TL open::
CO_Durron says:
::steps out into the open heading for the big chair::
FCO_Kami says:
::Looks up at the CO.:: FCO: Nothing to report from me. We're still on course.
CTO_Wolf says:
CO: The cardassian ship is holding steady on its course sir
XO_Vernius says:
::Sits in his command chair next to the Captain and delves into his files::
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CO: I have found an algorythm to decipher the data.  It is a sneaky way to do it but who did it used a double algorythm to encryption to encode it.
CO_Durron says:
FCO/CTO: Examine the Cardassian ship's course, and compare it to local starcharts.  Find me a tacticaly advantagious engagement zone.
FCO_Kami says:
::Nods and looks back to his console, getting right to work.::
CTO_Wolf says:
CO: Aye sir
CTO_Wolf says:
::begins going over star charts::
CO_Durron says:
EO: Do you have a guess on how long it will take you to decript the data?
CO_Durron says:
XO: I also want crew on half shifts where possible.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CO; Several hours sir but I will try to get it done sooner.
XO_Vernius says:
CO: Aye, sir.
XO_Vernius says:
::notifies the crew to begin half-shifts::
CO_Durron says:
EO: What if you limited the data to just the most recent five entries?
CTO_Wolf says:
::achknowledges the XO`s order::
CO_Durron says:
::brings up the crew roster and sets a search program on it for a match in the race line of 'cardassian'::
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
::catches a sneezing fit::
XO_Vernius says:
::continues delving through classified reports and information, looking and looking::
FCO_Kami says:
EO: God bless.
CO_Durron says:
::looks at the FCO curiously::
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
FCO: Thanks.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CO: Half an hour for the last five entries sir.
CO_Durron says:
EO: Do it, once those five are decripted, forward them directly to me, than begin working on the rest.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CO: Understood sir.  ::sneezes again and goes to work::
CO_Durron says:
ALL: Remember I want everyone rested, visit the sickbay for treatment once you have compleated your duty shifts.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
Self: Is he nuts?  This must be deciphered before I let it go.  This is too important.
CO_Durron says:
::eyes the EO:: EO: I may be nuts, but I am also the Captain. Once you get those five entries decoded I want you to set the computer on it and get some rest.
CTO_Wolf says:
::watches the CO closely::
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CO: With all due respect sir.  This is too important for me to leave it sir.
CO_Durron says:
::turns back to the viewscreen:: EO: You might not want to mistake that for a request.
CTO_Wolf says:
CO: Sir the Cardassian vessel has picked us up on his long range sensors
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CO: Understood sir.  ::she says reluctantly::
CO_Durron says:
CTO: Any change in their course or speed?
CTO_Wolf says:
CO: No sir
CO_Durron says:
::nods:: FCO: Are they within communications range?
XO_Vernius says:
::looks up at the talk of the Cardassian warship, but goes back to his panel when he see's that its nothing serious::
FCO_Kami says:
CO: Yes, sir, they are.
CO_Durron says:
FCO: Hail them.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
::finally finishes the five last entries and downloads it to a PADD::
Host Nurse_Antina says:
