 Prologue: Hayden remains at full stop. The histamines have escaped SB and are affecting the whole ship

CSO Lys
 :: scratching in Sickbay ::
 
MO Bishop
 :: Sneezes again and wipes her nose in her hanky, leaving it in her hand as she types at the console. ::
   
XO Skye
 :: Sitting in the center chair, sneezing every 10 seconds.  You could set a watch by it. ::

CMO Cutter
 ::itches, scowls and messes with her medical toys to try and find out how to stop this stupid thing::

EO Davidson
 ::sits in engineering sneezing::
    
Klord
 Action: the CO is alone in his quarters and has passed out on the bed from pain in his kidneys

FCO Knight
 ::Wipes the snot from his moustache as he writes out a flight efficiency report::
   
CSO Lys
 MO: Maybe we can just :: sneeze ::  shut off our nerves... at least then I would stop :: sneeze ::  itching
    
Klord
 Action: a particularly bad itch hits the FCO between his shoulder blades

CMO Cutter
 ::sees the incoming report about the histamines escaping:: Self: Dammit!  MO: Might as well shut down/off the quarantine.  We were too late.  It’s spread through the ship

EO Davidson
 ::tries to check the gel packs between sneezes::

CEO Michaels
 ::sneezes furiously and scratches his neck::

FCO Knight
 ::Takes the PADD in his hand and tries to scratch the itch with it::
 
MO Bishop
 ::barks at the console:: Console: What do you mean, it's not working! It has to....::gives in to another sneezing fit::
   
XO Skye
 ::Stares at the full handkerchief......wonders about another.::

CMO Cutter
 *CO* Jason... we were too late.  This thing has spread through the ship.  Thought you might want to know.

EO Davidson
 *Bridge* This is engineering....most of my staff down here are now incapacitated. And ::sneezes::

FCO Knight
 ::Blows his nose with another tissue from off the CONN::
   
XO Skye
 *CEO*: How are things going....
   
XO Skye
 *EO*: Why aren't you reporting to the CEO?
   
CSO Lys
 :: gets some more of the lotion one of the nurses gave him and starts applying it.  It doesn't get rid of the itching, but at least it makes things almost tolerable ::

CEO Michaels
 *XO*: They'd be better if we had a cure for this.
   
XO Skye
 *CEO*: I totally understand, but are you able to make any progress?

EO Davidson
 *XO*: Commander...I have sent Commander Michaels back to his quarters ma'am. He was getting pretty bad...its just me down here

CMO Cutter
 ::getting a bad feeling at the lack of response:: *CO* Jason?  Did you catch that?
 
MO Bishop
 ::drums her fingers frustratedly on the console as more patients filter in one after another::
 
MO Bishop
 ::looks back over her shoulders at the group and rolls her eyes:: Self: Oh Good heavens

CEO Michaels
 *XO*: We're working on it, but nothing yet...on the bright side, seems to be spreading so we've got more test cases.  ::looks overwhelmed::

CMO Cutter
 MO: which species was this from again?  I'd like to know which one to flea dip! ::scowling::

FCO Knight
 ::Sneezes onto the CONN and wipes it with another tissue::
 
MO Bishop
 CMO: Both of them it seems... I've tried to research anything in Earth's database for common allergies to cats and dogs... but even 24th century medicine didn't come up with anything for it... ::sighs::
   
CSO Lys
 :: done, he passes the lotion on to someone else and moves to a console near the MO ::  MO:  Were you able to :: sneeze ::  isolate the specific allergen?
   
XO Skye
 ::Thinks the EO needs to know his place.::  *CEO*: Keep me posted, Please......We have some people irritated that we aren't there yet.......

CMO Cutter
 MO: Well bloody hell.  Okay... do we have reports of any other ships coming into contact with this planet?  Did they have the same problems and if yes then what did they use to solve it? ::sneezes::

CEO Michaels
 *XO*: I'll trade their irritation for mine.  ::Scratches::
 
MO Bishop
 ::shields herself:: CSO: Yes, but unfortunately the little devil won't die.... years of harsh conditions toughened it to the point of non-extinction
   
XO Skye
 *CEO*:  I totally agree...It's just not fun to deal with them.....

CMO Cutter
 ::getting worried now:: *XO* I'm getting no response from my idiot husband.. I mean.. the Captain.  I think he may be unconscious. ::mutters something mean:: Emergency beam out to sickbay would be advised I think.

EO Davidson
 *CEO*: Sir.....the gel packs are loosing conductivity. The outer covering is breaking down. After so much time has past it hardens.
   
CSO Lys
 MO:  Well perhaps we can at least start filtering them out of the ship... reduce the reaction a bit
   
XO Skye
 *CMO*: You have it... ::Motions to OPS:: OPS: Emergency beam out of the Captain to SB now.....
   
XO Skye
 *CMO*: He should be there momentarily...Let me know how he is, Please.
 
MO Bishop
 ::gets an idea in her head:: CSO: WE don't happen to have any Borg nanoprobes on hand do we?

CMO Cutter
 *XO* Thank you.
    
Klord
 Action: the CO appears on a bio bed in SB
 
MO Bishop
 ::shakes her head:: CSO: Never mind, scratch that idea
 
MO Bishop
 ::goes back to her work::

CEO Michaels
 *EO*: What's the cause of it Lt.?
   
CSO Lys
 MO:  I'm not sure about nanoprobes, but we do have nanites.  If it isn't too difficult, we can program them to do most of the same tasks.

EO Davidson
 *CEO*: It seems that it was a batch we picked up last lay over.

CMO Cutter
 ::heads over the unconscious body of Jason:: CO: You certainly have a flair for the dramatics don't you? ::shakes her head, scans and hits him with a painkiller before starting on dealing with the gallstones::

EO Davidson
 *CEO*: They have been dispersed widely throughout the ship

CEO Michaels
 *EO*: Replace em, fix em, or bypass em, just keep this ship running, that's the last thing we need going wrong.

FCO Knight
 ::Wonders when sickbay will fix this::
   
CSO Lys
 :: brings up the specs on basic nanites waiting for the MO's plan ::
 
MO Bishop
 CSO: I read medical reports from the Voyager's database and their resident Borg used them for many anti-dotes... we could program them to eliminate the histamines and then remain inactive... but its' extremely risky... I don't think the CO will like it

EO Davidson
 *CEO*:I know.....but we don’t have enough to replace all of them in the whole ship.

CMO Cutter
 ::overhears the MO:: MO: Fortunately he's not conscious. ::nods in his direction::
   
CSO Lys
 MO: Well, as you well know, normal nanites are often used in surgical situations.  I think they should be able to do what you need with none of the problems.
 
MO Bishop
 ::looks to the CMO and nods back at the CSO:: CSO: Looks like we'll have to make some decisions without him then....

CMO Cutter
 ::eavesdropping 'cos, well, she's good at it::
 
MO Bishop
 CSO: Okay, lets see then...::looks at the screen with the nanites::

CEO Michaels
 *EO*: Then replace the ones you can, move the remaining bad ones to secondary junctions and bypass as much as you can from there....just do it, no excuses.

EO Davidson
 *CEO*: Even the replacement Gel Packs will be affected if this is air born and wont last long after we install them ::sneezes on the warp core::

EO Davidson
 *CEO*: Aye sir 

CMO Cutter
 ::itches her tummy, pretty sure she’s drawing blood but past caring::
   
CSO Lys
 MO: If we get it to work, we could program the replicators to create them in liquids and the crew can just drink away :: scratches absent-mindedly at the back of his palm ::
   
XO Skye
 ::Sneezes on the bridge.....almost alone there.::

CEO Michaels
 *EO*: Have Mr. Knight assist you in removing the bad packs.

EO Davidson
 ::begins running a scan of all essential systems gel packs::

EO Davidson
 *CEO*: Aye sir.
 
MO Bishop
 CSO: Good idea. We better inform the XO before we do anything.. although I doubt that she'll argue.... no one will for that matter...::tears at her neck::

EO Davidson
 *FCO*: Mr. Knight report to engineering please.....I need your help down here

CMO Cutter
 MO: Hold up.

FCO Knight
 *EO* ::Sneezes:: On my way.
 
MO Bishop
 CMO: Yes, Doctor?
   
CSO Lys
 MO: Would you like to make that call  :: starts working on a replicator subroutine ::

CMO Cutter
 MO/CSO: What if we program the nanites to self-destruct after they deal with the histamines?  Wouldn't that work?

EO Davidson
 ::goes up to the gel pack storage bin and takes some out:: Computer: What is the current efficiency of the Gel Packs?
 
MO Bishop
 ::nods:: CMO: I'm sure if we can program them to do this job then we can program them to eliminate themselves

FCO Knight
 ::Rises from the CONN and heads over to the TL::
   
CSO Lys
 :: nods in concurrence, this time scratching the back of his neck ::

CMO Cutter
 MO: Then that should deal with any objections the XO or CO might have
 
MO Bishop
 ::nods:: CMO: Yes, that’s true.

MO Bishop
 *XO*: Sir, We've found a way to combat the histamines....
   
XO Skye
 *MO*: I'm all ears.....but they itch too much......so lay it on me.
   
CSO Lys
 CEO: Do you have a moment Commander?

CMO Cutter
 ::squelches the little voice in her head that’s been nagging at her for sometime::

FCO Knight
 ::Enters ME:: EO: You rang, mate?

CEO Michaels
 CSO: What's up Mr. Lys?

FCO Knight
 ::Blows nose loudly::
 
MO Bishop
 ::smirks at the CSO:: *XO*: We are going to program nanites to eliminate the allergen.

EO Davidson
 Computer: Please respond?
   
CSO Lys
 CEO:  The Doctor was able to isolate the allergen.  I thought you might enjoy programming life support to eliminate it from the ship.

CMO Cutter
 ::shakes it off and lets the MO and CSO deal with the XO::
   
XO Skye
 *MO*: Any potential problems with that avenue?

EO Davidson
 FCO:  One second Othello

EO Davidson
 Computer: What is the current efficiency of the Gel Packs?
 
MO Bishop
 *XO*: None Sir. We can program them to self-destruct once they've completed the task and our bodies will eliminate them naturally

FCO Knight
 ::Nods and sneezes loudly::

CMO Cutter
 ::goes to check on some tests she'd been working on with antihistamine meds::

CEO Michaels
 ::rubs his hands together at the opportunity more than the itching::  CSO: Why thank you Commander. ::grins and programs the computer with the appropriate protocols::
    
Klord
 <Computer> gel pack efficiency is 99%
   
XO Skye
 *MO*: Then get to it... Let's start healing the ship.

CMO Cutter
 ::mutters to herself:: Self: but the nanites are only a short term solution... need to stop re-infection...

EO Davidson
 FCO: We have to replace some gel packs.....think you can get your hands dirty?

FCO Knight
 EO: No problem.
 
MO Bishop
 *XO*: Aye Sir. Stand by, I'll inform you when we have the serum ready

CMO Cutter
 ::messes with the slide in front of her:: Self: bippitty.. boppitty... boo!  YES!
   
XO Skye
 *MO*:  Wonderful......

CMO Cutter
 ::happy dance in the middle of sickbay::

EO Davidson
 ::tosses Othello a Gel Pack Case and a tricorder:: FCO: Let’s go

CEO Michaels
 MO: All set Ensign, let's get rid of this thing...
   
CSO Lys
 MO: I have the replicator subroutine ready - just need your modifications on the nanites.  :: sneezes ::  Excuse me.

FCO Knight
 ::Drops tricorder due to slower reflexes::

FCO Knight
 Self: I hate bein' sick.

EO Davidson
 FCO: Remind me to play a game of Velocity with you while you are like this....haha

CMO Cutter
 ::gives the unconscious Jason a big smacking kiss:: CO: Your wife is a genius!  ::goes back to her slides::

EO Davidson
 ::goes into the nearest jefferies tube and crawls to a nearby junction::

FCO Knight
 EO: I'd beat you ::sneezes:: on my death bed, mate.
 
MO Bishop
 CEO/CSO: Very well....::enters her workings on the matter and begins the replication process::

EO Davidson
 FCO: Don’t count your eggs until there hatched!
    
Klord
 Action: as the EO picks up a gel pack it bursts and he is covered in the goo
   
CSO Lys
 MO: I gladly volunteer to test this out  :: scratches the back of his palm again, it being a bright color red ::

CMO Cutter
 *XO* Okay.. here's the deal with this stupid allergic reaction.  Ready?
 
MO Bishop
 CEO/CSO: I've programmed them to stay active within the body for the next 24-48 hours.. that should eliminate the histamine and prevent further infection::

FCO Knight
 ::Can't fight the urge to belly laugh::

EO Davidson
 ::shakes his hand:: Self: Damn.....
   
XO Skye
 *CMO*: You bet....

EO Davidson
 FCO: Run a scan on the gel packs in your case...check them.

CMO Cutter
 *XO* Okay.  The nanites will get rid of the problem temporarily.  We'll all stop itchy and be happy.  The problem is that we'll all start up again in about 24 hrs.  With me?

FCO Knight
 ::Stops laughing and initiates the scan::
   
XO Skye
 *CMO*: So far.....How do we stop it from happening again?
 
MO Bishop
 ::heads to the replicator and takes out a large tray of the serum::

CMO Cutter
 *XO* That’s the cool part.  I am almost positive that I have an antihistamine that we can distribute shipwide.  It'll take 72 hrs to take effect is the downside.  Soo.. I'm thinking we take it now, give it time to work and use the nanites in the mean time.  What do you think?

EO Davidson
 FCO: And you Mr. Knight.....might be scrubbing plasma conduits with a tooth brush if you mention this to anyone
   
XO Skye
 *CMO*: It sounds wonderful.......Let's get going.......And how's the CO doing?
   
CSO Lys
 :: restrains himself from grabbing the serum from the doctor and gulping it down ::
EO Davidson
 FCO:Is that understood ::gives him a stern look::

MO Bishop
 ::looks to the CMO as she overhears her talking to the XO:: CMO: With all due respect Doctor, why didn't you mention this antihistamine before?

CMO Cutter
 ::rolls her eyes:: *XO* He's quiet for the first time in his life while in sickbay.  Actually, he's unconscious.  He's fine though.  I just gave him something for the pain while dealing with his gallstones

FCO Knight
 EO: When you can beat me in velocity, I'll scrub, until then, consider it public knowledge.

Klord
 Action: the goo oozes off of the EO and drips onto a live connection shooting a rather high voltage through the EO

EO Davidson
 ::hits the top of the tube and falls to the beck plating::
   
CSO Lys
 CEO: How long do you think they are gonna talk about this before giving us the medicine?

CMO Cutter
 ::turns and shoots a look at the MO, still talking to the XO::
   
XO Skye
 *CMO*: Understood.......Let me know if his condition changes or if anything happens with the anti-histamine.

CMO Cutter
 *XO* Understood.  Cutter out.

FCO Knight
 EO: Jay! You all righ'?
 
MO Bishop
 ::realizes this is one of those times when her mouth is going to get her into trouble and shuts up::

CMO Cutter
 ::turns and looks at the MO:: MO: 1.  Because it doesn't hurt to have more than one option.  2.  Because you were too busy brainstorming with the CSO.  Its not like you were really "clearing" your ideas with me at the time either.  And 3.  Because I just didn’t.  ::kinda feeling a bit ticked,  under attack in her own sickbay did NOT amuse::

EO Davidson
 ::rolls onto his back:: FCO: Dang it that hurt.

FCO Knight
 ::Offers a hand to Jay:: EO: It looks like there's nothin' wrong with the packs I have.
   
CSO Lys
 :: still standing in sickbay scratching and sneezing and generally miserable ::
 
MO Bishop
 ::nods:: CMO: Those are very good reasons....:: hands a case of serum to the CSO:: CSO: Take this to the bridge and have them drink a toast ..::grins and hands another to the CEO:: CEO: You can take these to ME.

CMO Cutter
 MO: Now are we done?  Can we get the nanites and antihistamines out?
   
CSO Lys
 MO:  Thank you!  :: Starts heading towards the bridge, taking a swig from a serum as he goes ::

CEO Michaels
 ::nods and takes the case down to ME::

EO Davidson
 ::lies on his back:: FCO: That really hurt something fierce. ::shakes his hand:: the gel is dried on me darn hand

CMO Cutter
 ::takes some of both and starts administering it to those in sickbay while working on controlling her breathing:: Self: In 2, 3, 4.. out, 2, 3, 4...
   
CSO Lys
 :: gets in the TL and wonders how long before this takes effect as he sneezes and almost drops the whole tray ::

FCO Knight
 EO: Get up an' let's get to work.
 
MO Bishop
 ::cowers slightly:: CMO: Of course....

CMO Cutter
 ::starting to feel a bit better::

EO Davidson
 ::crawls out of the Tube:: FCO: You keep going.....I will join you shortly
   
CSO Lys
 :: arrives on the bridge ::  Bridge:  Anyone thirsty?

CEO Michaels
 ::distributes them among the Engineers::

FCO Knight
 ::Goes down the hall and gets started::
    
Klord
 Action the CSO trips and drops the tray

EO Davidson
 ::steps out of the Tube sees the commander and hides his hand:: CEO: Morning commander

CMO Cutter
 ::nods at the MO, still working on getting her temper back under control::
   
CSO Lys
 :: rapping his head hard on the deck ::  XO:  Um... I'll clean that up I guess.

CEO Michaels
 ::nods to the Lt::  EO: Morning...glad we finally got that allergy taken care of, how are the gel packs coming?
 
MO Bishop
 ::turns away from a visibly fuming doctor and kisses any thought of promotion good-bye:: Self: Note to self.... don't say anything that will irritate the doctor.....

EO Davidson
 CEO: Ummmmm......FCO and I are replacing them ::wipes a little left over gel of his uniform tunic::
   
XO Skye
 ::Looking up suddenly from her scratching.:: CSO: Might be a good idea.....

CEO Michaels
 EO: Hope that was an already broken one that burst all over you.  ::points to a spot he missed, Walks off to his office::

EO Davidson
 CEO: What’s with the Hypo's sir ::sneezes right onto the CEO leaving some.....::
   
CSO Lys
 :: gets up - serum covering his uniform ::  XO:  The bridge replicators should be able to access the serum - you may want to get your own  :: smiles weakly ::

EO Davidson
 CEO: Yeah......and it was one heck of a Shocking experience.
   
XO Skye
 CSO: Don't feel badly about it......Accidents happen...... ::Pauses scratching for a moment and gets up to get her own serum.::

EO Davidson
 CEO: Sorry about the uniform sir. 

CMO Cutter
 *XO* The nanites appear to be working according to shipwide reports.

CMO Cutter
 *XO*  I'll keep you posted on the antihistamine.
 
MO Bishop
 ::hands out serum to the rest of her medical staff and watches them go bye bye to the rest of the ship::
   
XO Skye
 *CMO*: Wonderful......Thank you so much!
   
XO Skye
 *CEO*: How long till we're underway?
   
CSO Lys
 XO: Yes ma'am :: cleans up the mess quickly ::

FCO Knight
 ::Finishes with a few of the replacements::

CEO Michaels
 EO: How much longer Lt.?

EO Davidson
 CEO: About now sir.....engines are on-line and in full operation.

CMO Cutter
 ::makes sure Jason gets some of both as well while checking on his condition again.  Perfect.  Recovering nicely, the big baby::
   
CSO Lys
 :: realizes he hasn't sneezed in at least a minute... and the itching... :: XO: Hmm, this stuff works quickly
   
XO Skye
 CSO: Well let's hope it works as well on me......::Injects herself.::

FCO Knight
 ::Gets over to the CEO and EO's position:: CEO: G'day. EO: I'm done with that section.
 
MO Bishop
 ::once the serum is mostly distributed she gives herself some::

CEO Michaels
 *XO*: Looks like we're ready to go ma'am.
 
MO Bishop
 ::bites the bullet and heads to the CMO as she checks on her husband:: CMO: Did you have some of the serum yet , Doctor?

EO Davidson
 FCO: Onto the next ::checks a display::
   
CSO Lys
 :: steps behind the SCI console, glad to see something that isn't sickbay for a while :: Self:  I have to stop going there.  Seems something strange happens every time.

EO Davidson
 CEO: Gel Pack Efficiency is slowly increasing
   
XO Skye
 *CEO*: Wonderful!  I'll inform the Srelbraw.

CMO Cutter
 ::nods her head:: MO: Yes, when I administered it to the rest of sickbay.  You got yours I hope?
 
MO Bishop
 ::nods:: MO: Yes, I just gave myself some. I wanted to make sure everyone had enough first...

FCO Knight
 ::Moves onto the next section and sneezes twice before entering the tube::
   
XO Skye
 OPS: Let the Srelbraw know we are on our way and will be there in 72 hours.

CMO Cutter
 ::nods absently, brushing a lock of hair away from his eyes as she stared down at Jason sleeping on the biobed:: MO: Good.  Oh.. make sure your son got his as well.  I would hate for him to still be suffering.

CEO Michaels
 EO: Good, keep an eye on it, make sure things stay that way.

EO Davidson
 ::nods at the CEO:: CEO: Aye sir.
 
MO Bishop
 CMO: yes of course.....::fidgets slightly and glances around the near empty sickbay::... Err, Doctor.... I'm truly sorry about what I said earlier... I didn't mean to degrade you infront of everyone....
    
Klord
 Action: the CMO notices a rather interesting side effect on the CO

CMO Cutter
 ::nods:: MO: I understand.  However, you will understand if I do not react well to being called on the carpet as it were by my staff?  If you have a problem with me in the future then take it up with me in private.

CMO Cutter
 ::notices the side effect and rolls her eyes:: CO: Only you Jason Michael Cutter!  Only you.
 
MO Bishop
 ::nods vigorously:: CMO: Yes, of course Doctor...
 
MO Bishop
 ::raises her eyebrows and turns away quickly as the CMO looks to the more swollen areas of the Captain's form:: CMO: Err...::coughs nervously::... if you'll excuse me now, I umm.... have some reports to finish...::stifles a laugh::
