Host Frank_SM says:
The USS Europa is still investigating a mysterious disease, designed to target only Cardassians.  Evidence seems to support Federation involvement.  But the Federation would never resort to bio-warfare.  Would they?
Host Frank_SM says:
<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>
CO_Durron says:
::sitting in the captain's chair looking thoughtfull::
CTO_Wolf says:
::watches the Cardassian MO intently::
FCO_Kami says:
::At the helm, looking over various sensor readouts.::
CTO_Wolf says:
::whisltes softly as he watches ::
CO_Durron says:
::forwards the planitary identification to the helm statin.:: FCO: The Cardassian MO says that the virus came from this planet, I would like you to find out anything you can about it, including what groups operate in the area.
FCO_Kami says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::Begins to search for information on the planet.::
CO_Durron says:
*CTO*: Has the Cardassian medical officer finished their investigation?
FCO_Kami says:
CO: Sir, there are no known settlements in the are. It's like the "backwoods" of Federation space.
CTO_Wolf says:
*CO*: Aye sir, he has has asked to return to his ship
CO_Durron says:
FCO: Attempt to identify the last federation ship to assigned anywhere near that area.
CO_Durron says:
*CTO* Than have him beamed back.
FCO_Kami says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::Checks over records of Federation activity in the area.::
CTO_Wolf says:
*CO*: Aye sir were on our way to the transporter room
FCO_Kami says:
CO: Sir, there hasn't been any Federation activity in this area since the Dominion war, sir.
XO_Vernius says:
CO: Sir, the data n the freighter is awfully thin, but I have found a minor discrepency that might bear thinking about. It clearly was off it's flight plan. The Ion trail just... ends... I'm not sure if the ship vanished, or if it was destroyed, we'd have to follow the trail to be certain.
CTO_Wolf says:
*transporter room*: Our guest is ready to beam out, ready when you are
XO_Vernius says:
CO: I'm going to contact SB 102 now, sir.
XO_Vernius says:
COM:SB102: Starbase 102, priority signal from the USS Europa, please respond.
Host CO_Cardi says:
Action: The Lahore hails the Europa.
CO_Durron says:
XO: If it was destroyed someone would have picked up the explosion, and there would be a radiation bloom.
CO_Durron says:
FCO: Plot a course to the source planet, and give me an eta, as well as a name for the planet.
XO_Vernius says:
CO: I can think of several ways those traces wouldn't be there, sir. But that is a reasonable assumption, yes.
CO_Durron says:
*CTO* Once the Cardassian Medical officer is off ship please return to the bridge.
XO_Vernius says:
CO: The La'Hore is hailing us, sir.
FCO_Kami says:
CO: Aye. ::Begins to plot the course.::
CO_Durron says:
XO: On screen.
CTO_Wolf says:
*CO*: Aye sir, on my way now
CTO_Wolf says:
::heads out of sickbay and towards the bridge::
XO_Vernius says:
::puts the Cardassian transmission on the main viewer::
CTO_Wolf says:
::enters TL:: TL: Bridge
CTO_Wolf says:
::exits TL onto bridge and moves to his station::
Host CO_Cardi says:
@COM: Europa: CO: Captain Durron, during our investigation we have identified a freighter that may have been responsible for carrying the plague to our outpost.  I would like to investigate this and make sure they are not spreading this virus further.  Have you heard back from Starfleet regarding my proposal?
FCO_Kami says:
CO: ETA: One point five weeks. The planets name is Serenity.
CO_Durron says:
COM: Lahore: CO_Cardi: SFC has permited you entry for the time being, so long as you keep your weapons powered down, and are escorted by the Europa.
CTO_Wolf says:
::runs planet name through the intelligence database::
XO_Vernius says:
::watches the exchange, controling his facial muscles carefully::
CTO_Wolf says:
::enters the info into his console and sends it to the XO::
Host CO_Cardi says:
@COM: Europa: CO: Then I propose that our first venture take us into Cardassian space, and see what happened to this freighter.
XO_Vernius says:
::takes a look at his console and nods approvingly to the CTO::
CTO_Wolf says:
:: turns attention to tracking down the Freighter::
CO_Durron says:
COM: Lahore: CO_Cardi: I concure, forward us the location of the ion trail termination point.
XO_Vernius says:
FCO: Lay in a course to the end of the ion trail, use the co-ordinates the Cardassians are about to send us.
FCO_Kami says:
XO: Aye, sir.
Host CO_Cardi says:
Action: The Lahore sends coordinates and flight plan to the Europa.
CTO_Wolf says:
::begins scanning along the ion trail::
FCO_Kami says:
::Takes these coordinates and plots a course using them.:: XO: Course laid in. Execution on your command.
CO_Durron says:
::taps out a message one handed to the XO's console reading 'look for blind spots'::
XO_Vernius says:
::nods to the CO::
CO_Durron says:
COM: Lahore: CO_Cardi: We have received the co ordinates, and are ready to follow you.
XO_Vernius says:
::walks to the FCO and whispers:: FCO: Keep us along side the Galor, don't let them fall behind us.
XO_Vernius says:
::walks to the CTO and whispers again:: CTO: Keep an eye out for blind spots, on our part or theirs.
CTO_Wolf says:
::nods to XO::
FCO_Kami says:
XO: Aye, sir. ::Keeps the ship along the Galor.::
XO_Vernius says:
::sets up shop at the aux tactical station and runs some test scenario's::
Host CO_Cardi says:
Action: The Federation ship and the Cardassian ship pull along side one another, in a formation probably never seen before, entering warp almost simultaneously.
CO_Durron says:
::motions for the FCO to cut the comm channel.::
CTO_Wolf says:
::sets up tactical scans::
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: Operate on the assumption of maximum paranoiia
FCO_Kami says:
::Cuts the comm.::
CO_Durron says:
XO: Send a message to cardassia prime leting them know that we are entering Cardassian space at the invitation of the captain of the Lahore.  FCO: Locate the Starfleet ship nearest 'Serenity', contact them and inform them of the situation, than ask them nicely to secure the scean and investigate.
CTO_Wolf says:
XO: Aye sir, ive set up tactical scans of all quadrants, if there`s anyone out there we`ll know about it
XO_Vernius says:
CO: Aye, sir.
CO_Durron says:
CTO: Are there any nebula or other phenomina that could hide a ship on or near our present course?
FCO_Kami says:
::Scans Starfleet records for the name of the nearest ship to Serenity, then sends a textual report to the ship and requests them to secure the area and investigate.::
XO_Vernius says:
::sends the message to Cardassia Prime.... and prays::
CO_Durron says:
XO: Any sign of the Galaxy class that was coming to help us?
CTO_Wolf says:
CO: thats a negative sir,nothing out there
XO_Vernius says:
CO: She's holding position.  Would you like me to send them a message?
CO_Durron says:
XO: Update them regarding the current situation, and set one of the junior officers to send them a status report on a half hourly basis.
XO_Vernius says:
CO: Aye, sir.
CO_Durron says:
FCO: Examine our course, for any unexplainable turns.
CTO_Wolf says:
CO: Tactical shows all clear sir
FCO_Kami says:
::Raises an eyebrow.:: CO: Aye, sir.
XO_Vernius says:
::contacts the supporting Galaxy class, and sets one of the junior OPS officer's to keep them updated::
FCO_Kami says:
CO: I'm not finding any inexplicable turn in the course, sir.
CO_Durron says:
CTO: I would like you to begin scaning the ion trail's termination site as soon as possible.  XO: You keep an eye out for odd radiation surges or starfield shifts.
CTO_Wolf says:
CO: Aye sir
XO_Vernius says:
CO: aye, sir. ::smiles::
CO_Durron says:
FCO: Well thats good, ETA sensor range on the termination point?
CTO_Wolf says:
::begins detailed tactical scans of the termination point::
FCO_Kami says:
CO: We've entered sensor range, sir.
Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The Europa picks a large debris field up on sensors.  It is consistent with the size of the freighter, however there is absolutely no sign of weapons fire or any explosion.  It is as if the freighter simply tore itself apart... or was torn apart by something.
CO_Durron says:
FCO: Drop to impulse once the Cardassians do, than begin orbiting the site at twenty five thousand meters.
FCO_Kami says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::Plots this into the computer.::
CTO_Wolf says:
CO: Sir i`m picking up a debris feild consistant with the freighter
Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The two ships drop out of warp in unison, and take up positions near the debris field.
XO_Vernius says:
CO: This could be interesting....
CTO_Wolf says:
::begins detailed scans::
CO_Durron says:
CTO: On screen.
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: Run a scan for weapon signature residue. I want to know how that ship was destroyed.
CTO_Wolf says:
::activates the main viewer::
CTO_Wolf says:
CO:Aye sir
CTO_Wolf says:
CO:Sir i`m picking up bio matter in the feild
CO_Durron says:
XO: Keep your eyes outward.  I don't want something sneeking up on us.
CTO_Wolf says:
CO: Also there are no residual weapons signatures
XO_Vernius says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::keeps an eye on the Tactical scanners::
CTO_Wolf says:
::returns to scans::
CO_Durron says:
CTO: What is the size of the largest piece of debris?
CO_Durron says:
FCO: Have the shuttlebay two cleared, and hail the lahore.
CTO_Wolf says:
CO: No bigger than 1 meter sir
FCO_Kami says:
CO: Aye. ::Sends a message to Shuttlebay Two to have it cleared and hails the La'hore.::
CO_Durron says:
CTO: Any residuial electrical readings?  See if they had a black box...or lacking that a computer that might be salvageable.
CTO_Wolf says:
CO: Aye sir
