Summary
While the CSO comes to, it was discovered the original data chips unexpectedly brought aboard with the Klingon youth were stolen from the science lab; however Yalp unexpectedly gives OPS one of the data chip that has the plans and chemical make-up of a bio-plague.  OPS and the CSO find themselves coveting the gem left behind by the thief while they work on discovering what exactly it was on the partially duplicated chips the CSO had been copying of the originals.  The XO has become ill, exhibiting the same symptoms as the MO, who has sunk into a coma and three of the scientists, one of who has gone into cardiac arrest.  The CSO has the rash, but little else. The CMO puts sickbay under quarantine, but soon they are being overwhelmed by a number of calls throughout the ship with the same symptoms.  The counselor fades in and out.  Meanwhile the captain speaks with Colonel Demar who places the entire ship under quarantine.  In a very short time, sickbay and the cargo bay are filled with the dying.

CO_Capt_Monroe says:
Captain's Log Stardate 10506.05: We are going to pursue if we can, the ship that attacked us.  It seems that they might have a link to the dead body in engineering. Also we have attained a unusual gem I am having it analyzed in the Science Lab

XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
:: Sitting on the Nighthawk's bridge, in the center chair, looking around at the crew::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
:: Looks at Anita with a glower:: CMO: Promise me you're going to behave?
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
:: In sickbay, going over the latest results for G'Dar.:: CNS:  Hon, take a look at this.  Do you see anything weird?
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
:: At the geological science lab looking over a microscope at the results from the analysis of the gem. In truth she is looking at the actual gem .. so beautiful.::
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
::Is dancing about sickbay::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
:: Without looking up.::  CNS:  I always behave.  :: Flashes her most innocent smile.::
CO_Capt_Monroe says:
:: Sitting in the Ready Room sifting through some padds::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
:: Looks at the results:: CMO: What am I looking at? :: Snorts at her reply, but says nothing else::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
:: Remembers the CO's orders:: *Sickbay*: Gomes to sickbay
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
:: Looks at G'Dar::  CNS:  Well he is dancing and he is unconscious... how weird is that?
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
:: Glances at the screen and at the results ...carbon, magnesium, hydrogen, other compounds nothing of note for a regular rock::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
*OPS*:  Sickbay here, this is Santiago, we can't come to the phone right now, but if you leave a message we will get back to you as soon as possible.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: You have to admit... that is weird. I'll leave that to you, I have to go help Commander Gomes with her tests and stuff.
FCO_Rose says:
:: Quietly brings the ship back to the nebula, keeping a close eye out for any ionic residue.::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
:: Frowns:: *CMO*: Dr, are you taking any sort of psychoactive drugs ... anyway, the Captain wants the Klingon boy ready for transport. Is he?
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
:: Glances over to Brianna as she goes about her job::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
*OPS*:  Yes he is....  Do you need me to tie a ribbon too?  Do you have any chocolate?
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
:: Continues looking at the rock, while she switches for some more routine scans::
CO_Capt_Monroe says:
:: Sits back and glances outside and wonders where he put his dinner list::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CNS:  You are going to do what?  I thought you were going to watch me?
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*CMO*: Sure, why not, he is going to be a present anyway. I'll warn you when transport is concluded. Gomes out
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*XO*: Gomes to Jackson
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*OPS*: Commander, what is your location? I believe we are to find that ship that disappeared?
CO_Capt_Monroe says:
:: Shakes his head then head off to the bridge::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
*OPS*:  Errr what about the chocolate?  ::Shrugs::

ACTION: T'Rae turns in her sleep, troubled, unable to be woken while the three science officers brought in earlier fidget in the quarantine room Tran has placed them in... one of them finding it hard to breath.

XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
FCO: Okay, what's... ::Hears Gomes on the comm:: *OPS*: Jackson here..
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*CNS*: I am at the geology lab looking at the gem found in the CSO's hand. I doubt we will ever find that ship
CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Walks onto the bridge:: XO: Status on the transport.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*OPS*: I'll join you shortly. Its worth a try at any rate, or the Captain thinks so. Varesh out.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*XO* Sickbay reports the Klingon boy is ready for transport, so are the real chips, once we are in range
Tessie says:
CMO/Nicholas:  We are getting quite the collection of bodies...  T'Rae is our latest victim.  I don't know guys this is ....
Nicolas says:
:: Interrupts:: CMO/Tessie:  Shouldn't you ladies be lying down?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: You, get some chocolate or something and don't drive your staff insane. ::turns for the door:: I'll see you later. ::exits sickbay::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
:: Both Tessie and Nita glare at him.::

ACTION:  The CSO's eyes open wide to conscious, reaching for his neck as if trying to pull something off of it.

XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods:: CO: You heard it captain.. The boy is ready, as are the chips... ::Turns to Rose:: FCO: Are we within transporter range yet?
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
:: Wakes up in sickbay::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Sees G'Dar waking.::  CSO:  Ahhhh sleeping beauty awakes... now please stop standing on your head.  What is wrong with your neck?  ::Runs a tricorder over the area.::
CO_Capt_Monroe says:
:: Nods:: XO: Carry on...  Any progress on the tracking that ship?
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
:: Looks down at the pad:: Self: oops
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*XO*: Actually Commander, we have a problem
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*XO*:The chips I thought I had are the fake ones we had made for the Klingons, the real ones disappeared when the CSO was attacked
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
:: Makes his way to the geology labs, wondering at the note he thought he heard in Alexandra's voice::
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
:: Turns around slowly:: CO: Slowly, sir... Slowly... ::Hears Gomes:: *OPS*: How could that happen?
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*XO*: I would say the creature stole them. The thing is, no traces of them were found where it died.
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
CMO: all I remember is a strangling feeling
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CSO:  Please don't rub the area... that is where the alien attacked.  :: Closes the tricorder satisfied his reaction wasn't something new.::
FCO_Rose says:
:: Glances back:: XO:  We are within beaming range of the... whatever that vessel is.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
:: Randomly looks at the results from the gem:: Self: I'll say ...
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CSO:  I know.  You were attacked and the alien tried to strangle you.  That is why your neck feels funny.
CO_Capt_Monroe says:
:: Listens:: *OPS*: What?
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
:: Looks at the rock:: Self:  So beautiful, yet ...
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
CMO: Well that makes sense
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
:: Enters the geology lab:: OPS: Commander... found anything interesting? :: Stands just inside the doors::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*CO*: You heard me Captain, the chips were lost. The CSO was analyzing them when he got attacked. Now they are gone
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Sighs:: *OPS*: Understood.. Can you try and find out how they could possibly have vanished like this? :: Turns to Rose:: FCO: Thank you, Bri...
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
:: Looks distractedly to the door:: CNS: actually yes. Have a seat
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*XO*: I'll try. In the mean time....we have the fake ones.
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
:: Feels a sudden burning sensation in his arms and starts scratching it, feeling it spread upwards::
CO_Capt_Monroe says:
*OPS*: You got to be kidding... this is going to get messy.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
:: Walks over to the bench where she's working, waiting for her to finish the conversation with the Captain.::
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
:: Feels a tingling sensation in his hands:: CMO: Hey doc, what’s this:: Points to a rash forming quickly up his arm::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*CO*: I know sir and unfortunately I am not kidding. I wonder what the link was between the Klingons and the creature. Now maybe we have a clue. And remember those chips had the blueprints for 2 doomsday machines

ACTION:  The ship gets a comm asking for the youth and chips to be beamed over ASAP.

OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CNS: The gem the CSO had in his hand, its perfect, it’s almost too beautiful to be real. And that’s because it isn't.
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
:: Looks down at the arm.:: CSO:  Hmmmm now that wasn't there before....  Nicholas:  Biopsy this skin please... :: Watches as Nicholas does as she asks.::  Ok, looks like I'll be keeping you here for a bit.
OPS_Yel says:
CO: We have a new comm from our friends in the nebula; Again asking for the boy and the chips. They don't sound happy.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
OPS: The gem was manufactured?
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
:: Nods slowly::
CO_Capt_Monroe says:
*OPS*: Yeah, Have all the information on the gem ready to be transported
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CNS: With what purpose I have no idea. But it was made to look real
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
OPS: Have you scanned it to sub-atomic level?
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
:: Keeps scratching:: CO: Sir... I will be heading down to sickbay if you don't mind.. this is becoming unbearable...
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CNS: Trying that now
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CNS: It’s absolutely beautiful. :: Smiles:: CNS: Think I can keep it?
CO_Capt_Monroe says:
XO: Go.
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
:: Taps her commbadge:: CO:  Capt, G'Dar is awake but he has developed a rash.  I'll be keeping him here for a bit.  I've got several people down with the same symptoms.
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
:: Nods and hurries into the corridor and on into the TL:: TL: Sickbay!
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
:: Watches Alexandra:: OPS: I doubt it.
CO_Capt_Monroe says:
*CMO*: The XO is having the same symptoms.  Do you think it is contagious?
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
:: Sighs:: CNS: I never get any presents
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CNS: Just this little one....
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
:: Sighs:: *CO*:  Quite possibly.  My MO is down with it also.  Swell and the two pregger ladies are infected.  :: All of a sudden becomes really worried and starts to shake.::

ACTION:  As the turbolift stops near sickbay, the doors open, but the XO is unable to step out of it, a feeling of dizziness overwhelms him.

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
OPS: I seriously doubt it, Commander. This gem isn't ours to "distribute".
CO_Capt_Monroe says:
*CMO*: Quarantine the ones infected.
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
:: As the dizziness overcomes him, he tries to find support against the TL's wall, slowly sliding down to sit down on the floor::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
*CO*:  That is your whole medical staff Sir... we need emergency precautions taken; anyone with medical knowledge roaming the ship looking for other victims.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
:: Sighs:: CNS: Whose is it? The CSO got it and...
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
OPS: Until we know whose it is, you can't claim it, can you? Maybe it’s G'Dar's.
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
:: Tries to press the TL's computer access panel but finds it to be just out of reach::
CO_Capt_Monroe says:
*CMO*: Understood.  :: Stands beside the Command Chair and hits the Comm:: *CNS*: Report to sickbay in full quarantine gear.  OPS Yel: Tell the ship we will beam them over.  Transport them when in range.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CNS: I suppose you are right. Logically  But there is something illogical about this rock and I can't pin point what.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*CO*: Understood, sir. :: Feels a slight twinge on his hand::
OPS_Yel says:
CO: Yes sir

ACTION:  A crewman finds the first officer and comms sickbay of an emergency.

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
OPS: Well, I would love to stay and chat, but it seems I'm needed in sickbay. :: Turns and leaves, hitting his badge as he walks::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*CO*: May I ask why full quarantine gear, sir?
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
:: Slowly reaches for his commbadge and presses it:: *Sickbay*: Jackson to sickbay... I... I'm just around the corner... Though I am overcome by dizziness :: Weak voice::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
:: Nods and looks sadly at the rock::
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
:: Does not want to let the gem go::
CO_Capt_Monroe says:
*CNS*: It seems that there is a virus or something in the air giving people rashes.
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
Out loud:  Ok guys we’re are hereby quarantined for the duration of our latest crisis.  It's going to be rough but we are used to rough, so lets get going.  Let's start working in shifts those not on shift will get some sleep.  There is no discussion on that point.
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
:: Sees her whole staff nod.::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
*CNS*:  V, you can gloat later, but you were right.  I should have stayed in bed.
OPS_Yel says:
*CMO* We are energizing the Klingon boy in seconds.
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
*OPS*:  He is not going anywhere Cmdr.  He is under quarantine.
OPS_Yel says:
*CMO*: Ok...
OPS_Yel says:
CO: Oh Captain?
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
Nicholas:  Get transport inhibitors around the Klingon boy.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*CO*: I see, sir. I seem to feel a slight tingle on my hands myself, but nothing has manifested. Getting quarantine gear now, and I'm on my way to sickbay.
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
:: Remembers something about an epidemic but cant place it::

ACTION:  The counselor unknowingly fades out of sight.

CO_Capt_Monroe says:
OPS Yel: Notify the ship we have a "little" situation here.
OPS_Yel says:
*CMO*: Acknowledged
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
:: Sits on the floor, still feeling rather dizzy, wondering when someone will come for him::
OPS_Yel says:
CO: Yes sir
CO_Capt_Monroe says:
*CNS*: If you have any dizziness then Report that to the Doctor.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
:: Still looking at the data on the rock and still fascinated by it::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
:: Gets into quarantine gear outside sickbay and enters the room::
Tessie says:
:: Hears the emergency call and initiates emergency transport of the doctor.::

ACTION:  The MO sinks into a coma.

OPS_Yel says:
:: Tells the other ship the boy can't be moved because he is a medical hazard. Deliberately does not mention the chips::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
:: Alarms go off on the MO's bed.  Nicholas rushes over.::  CMO:  T’Rae, he has slipped into a coma....

ACTION:  Sickbay begins to get an overwhelming number of comms.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
:: Closes her eyes and takes a deep breath... tries not the throw up.  Morning sickness it seems is not just for mornings.::
CO_Capt_Monroe says:
FCO: Keep our present position.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
:: Walks over to Anita:: CMO: What's happening? :: Doesn't realize all she sees is an empty suit::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
:: Totally oblivious to what’s happening on the ship, not that she really cares at the moment. She continues running subatomic scans and pattern finding algorithms on the crystal structure::
CO_Capt_Monroe says:
OPS Yel: Go to Tactical Alert; notify all security teams to bear Biohazard suits.
FCO_Rose says:
CO:  Aye sir.
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
:: Throws up on the suit.::  CNS:  Oh go vanish somewhere else, I got a problem here.  I got a rash epidemic.
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
:: Still cant place that thought::
OPS_Yel says:
:: Nods and does as she is told::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
:: Glances down at the suit in distaste:: CMO: I can't smell that, but I'll rinse off anyways. I want everybody scanned and the results displayed. Until you are incapacitated, best we try and find out what happened. And what do you mean, vanish elsewhere?
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
:: Sighs:: CNS:  Your invisible again.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
:: Distracts herself from the colors of the gem and glances at the numbers on the screen::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
Self: What? :: Runs a deciphering matrix on the structure::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
:: Blinks, though no-one sees it:: CMO: I think this is significant. Where does the rash usually manifest first?
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*CO* I'm making progress in scanning the rock
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CNS:  From what I notice the hands.   :: Runs a hand through her hair.::
CO_Capt_Monroe says:
:: Walks around the bridge.:: *OPS*: Good, what have you found?
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
:: Starts to feel a little faint but suddenly remembers the thing he was thinking about:: CMO: Doc..... The chips
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*CO*: It’s very well made, but it’s still artificial. It was made to exactly replicate a natural crystal but our computers were able to determine its artificial. Furthermore, there is something added to its matrix. Like a code designed to activate ... something. I want to proceed with scans
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: I've been feeling a tingle on my hands, but nothing else. And the disappearing act I'm pulling has got to be significant.
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CSO:  You can't have chips unless you share... my favorite are Sour Cream and Onion....  maybe with a dip of gagh...
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CNS:  How so?
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
:: Finds himself in sickbay at least, not very able to speak, but tries anyway:: Outloud: Rash.. Burning... Dizziness... Not feeling good...
CO_Capt_Monroe says:
*OPS*: Go ahead.  I need to know what is going on.
Nicolas says:
:: Rushes over to the XO and gets him onto a biobed.  Gives him an injection to calm him down.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
:: Mutters a very bad word:: CMO: If I knew, I could tell you.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*CO*Acknowledged. Gomes out
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CNS:  Don’t swear at me Varesh...  Listen I need something from my quarters, I'll be right back...  ::heads for the door.::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
:: Being unreasonable but for some reason is not caring at the moment.::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
:: Uses the computer to try to decipher the code, but mostly its purpose::
OPS_Yel says:
CO: We have an incoming transmission from the colonel's ship. Shall I put it through?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
:: Interposes himself between Anita and the doors:: CMO: And where do you think you're going?
CO_Capt_Monroe says:
OPS Yel: Might as well.
OPS_Yel says:
:: Nods and puts the com on the viewscreen::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CNS:  Quarters you know... the place where I live...  disappear again will ya... that way you can't see me going.
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
Nicolas: D… Doctor? What... What's wrong?

ACTION: Yalp appears beside Gomes, holding one of the chips the chameleon had supposedly taken.

OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
:: Smiles seeing the rodent, then notices what he has::
Nicolas says:
:: Smiles down at the XO.::  XO:  Sir, nothing we can't fix....  Just relax and let us take care of you once again.
CO_Capt_Monroe says:
COM: Demar: What can I do for you?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: And which part of quarantine do you not get? The part where you are quarantined? Please do not try my patience today, Anita, I am in a bad enough mood with you throwing up all over me, disappearing all the time and my hands tingling like they are in a electrical field. You stay put, or I'll tie you to a bio bed.
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
:: Puts her hands on her hips and dares him to do just that.::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
Yalp: Hi there my friend, you found what we were lookin’ for. :: Pets him and then tries to take the chips::
Colonel_Demar says:
@ :: Anger obvious on his face.::  CO:  You can show the competence Admiral Harlan seems to have in you and follow through with things.  I want that youth and those data chips now.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::gets the unspoken challenge, and moves in to pick Anita up, knowing she can't really inflict damage on him in the suit, fully intent to carry her to a biobed::
CO_Capt_Monroe says:
COM: Demar: Well it seems that we have a little medical emergency here.
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
:: Lays back and nods:: Nicolas: O... Okay... Just, what is it that's happening?
OPS_Yel says:
:: Looks at the colonel and suppresses a gin. Knows well the situation is bad but cant help laugh at a superior being reprimanded::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::As Varesh moves she tries to move around him towards the door, ready to run out.::
Colonel_Demar says:
@ COMM: CO:  Define LITTLE!
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
:: Anticipates her dodging him and intercepts, lifting her over onto his shoulder and carrying her to a biobed::
Nicolas says:
XO:  We got a lot of sick people Sir, and we have no idea why.  :: Sighs as he sees Varesh carrying Nita.::
CO_Capt_Monroe says:
COM: Demar: Well all of my medical staff is sick, we seemed to have caught something.
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
:: Screeches:: CNS:  Put me down!
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
Yalp: too bad I don't have a present for you :: Looks around::
Colonel_Demar says:
@ :: Grabs hold of his annoyance and lets the grandfatherly concern return.::  COMM:  CO: Is it contagious?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: Not on all of our lives. ::puts her on a biobed:: Computer: Activate force fields around Commander Santiago, Override Varesh, Delta Seven Epsilon.

ACTION:  A force field forms around the CMO.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
:: Glares at Varesh::  CNS:  I got sick people to take care of!
CO_Capt_Monroe says:
COM: Demar: It seems to be.  We have reports all over the ship, that people are getting sick.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: And you can do that as soon as you promise me, as a DOCTOR, that you will not try and leave a quarantined area. Are you clear?!
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::finds some crumbs from a cracker left over by someone at the lab and gives them to Yalp, taking the chip::
Colonel_Demar says:
@ :: Listens as one of his aides whispers into his ear.  A look of horror briefly crosses his face.::  COMM:  CO:  What are the symptoms?
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CNS:  Do you have any chocolate..?  :: She knows she can't promise that because she goes where the sick people are.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: I might, but I haven't heard the words from you yet. Otherwise the only way you leave this area is in a quarantine suit, and full decontamination before you go anywhere on the ship but here.
CO_Capt_Monroe says:
COM: Demar: It seems that there are rashes involved.
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
:: Tears well up in her eyes.::  CNS:  I'm scared V, my baby..
Colonel_Demar says:
@ COMM:  And?
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*CO* Gomes to Monroe
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
:: Deactivates the force fields and opens his arms:: CMO: I know. We'll get through this.
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
:: Feels like hitting the CMO Over the head with a newspaper:: The Klingon Chips, bio-plague
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
:: Flings herself into his arms not caring who sees...everyone has confidence in their flakey doctor.::
FCO_Rose says:
:: Listening, a chill goes up her spine.  Quietly, she prepares a report... just in case.::
CO_Capt_Monroe says:
COM: Demar: Dizziness and that is all I got so far.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
:: Soothes his friend:: CMO: Please, Nita. You know that if you leave here without taking precautions, you will just cause the infection, or whatever it is, to spread even faster.
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
:: Barely hears G’Dar..:: CSO:  Bio plague what do you mean bio plague and what discs?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
:: Looks at G'Dar:: CSO: What do you mean?
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CNS:  What discs, bio-plague.....?

ACTION:  One of the science officers in quarantine goes into cardiac arrest.

OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
:: Figures the CO is busy:: Yalp: You don't happen to know where the other is, do you my friend?
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
CMO/CNS: The chips we got back from the Klingons ha something about a bio plague i think symptoms this like
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
:: Laying on his biobed, wondering what is going to happen now:: Nicolas: Doctor... Doctor.. Could I see someone.. In case this doesn't go over..?
Tessie says:
:: Rushes over to the science officer and begins emergency resuscitation.::
Colonel_Demar says:
@ :: Quietly::  COMM: CO:  When did this all begin?
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CSO:  Oh for heavens sakes!!!  Why didn't you tell us this before!?!
Nicolas says:
 XO:  I'm sorry Sir, we can't let anyone in sickbay right now.
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
CMO: Oh you know the whole unconscious thing kind a got in my way
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CSO: And you have touched them, just like me? :: Thinks furiously::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
:: Mutters::  CSO:  Everyone has an excuse...  Where are these discs now?

ACTION:  Crew, begin to enter sickbay, most of them appear to be science officers.

CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
CMO: Unless someone has moved them in the lab
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CNS:  We need those discs.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
:: Looks at Yalp and heads over to a replicator:: Computer: give me a chocolate cake slice
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CSO:  Can you analyze what is one there?
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
:: Takes the cake and heads over to Yalp::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
:: Looks at the crew entering sickbay, all science officers:: CSO: But the chips were stolen.
CO_Capt_Monroe says:
COM: Demar: Just about half an hour ago.
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
CNS: Well were screwed then
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
:: Starts giving him crumbs:: Yalp: The other chip. Just like this one... ::pets him::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Is getting a headache... too emotional today.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CSO: Don't we have that data in the computer?
Yalp says:
:: Watches Gomes while he cleans his whiskers and then takes the cake and nibbles it::
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
CNS: Only a fraction of it, I was about to transfer it when I went to LALA land
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CSO: Tell me, you handled those disks and gems, so did you staff... so did I.
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
CNS: SWEET JEBUS!!! That’s it, the discs are the plague
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CSO: And you were holding a gem when you were found, right? The one that I assume Commander Gomes is studying?
Colonel_Demar says:
@ ::Does a quick calculations in his head.::  CO:  I want a full report. Meanwhile... ::Sighs::  Your ship is considered quarantine.  You are not to go anywhere.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
:: Watches Yalp and sighs, letting him have all the cake::
XO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
:: Just looks around, since he can't receive visitors::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
:: Is now confused.::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
:: Looks again at the gem scans, then goes to another scanner and checks the chip::
CO_Capt_Monroe says:
COM: Demar: Understood.
CO_Capt_Monroe says:
OPS Yel: Send out the quarantine buoy.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
:: Reaches up and cracks the seal on his quarantine suit, removing the helmet, having made the connection with his present situation::

ACTION:  The screen goes blank...

CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
*CNS*: The gems hold the plague, Gomes, *OPS: Stop don’t touch the gems they may contain a bio-plague
OPS_Yel says:
:: Nods to the CO and sends the warning buoys::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CNS:  V!  What are you doing?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: I figured out what the tingling of my hands are. I'm immune.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
:: Gulps looking at the readings on the chip ... matching the gem...::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CNS:  Well bully for you...  ::Takes a deep breath.;::  So what is our next step.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
:: Continues to remove the suit:: CMO: I don't know. But I can work better than in that getup. And we need Commander Gomes to let us know what she found out so far.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*CSO*: Too late ... And I know
FCO_Rose says:
:: Closes her eyes.::
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
:: Makes a mental note, from now on all foreign stuff to be handled bu holograms or metal arms inside a force field::

ACTION:  As time passes, more and more of the crew find themselves with the symptoms; some entering the state of a coma faster then others.  Sickbay is filled as the cargo bay is filled.  People are ordered to remain in their quarters.  Silence reigns as throughout the ship, a deadly enemy has been released and now stalks her crew.
