ACTDVince says:
The species of plant has been collected during which the XO was injected by a dart from the plant.  Her DNA is slowly being changed.  The plant and the XO are in stasis on the Orion.  An abandoned Ferengi Sci. Vessel was also found in orbit.  Their demise is as yet unknown.  You are now en-route to Science Station Alpha with the vessel in tow.

OPS: Status of Tractor ?

CSO_Oded says:
SO: any news about the plant?

CMORichey says:
*CO* Permission to take a sample of the plant in the science lab

SO_Nick says:
CSO: No, not yet

ACTDVince says:
ACTION: The XO is stable but the plant has taken over 56% of her DNA and present treatment is showing no signs of success

Ops_Domar says:
CO: Tractor beam is holding Sir

CO_Heinle says:
*CMO* don't you still have the "dart" that it injected the XO with ?

CSO_Oded says:
SO: What did you discover about the Ferengi ship

CMORichey says:
*CO* Aye sir, but as it was recorded the dart is dead I need live tissue

CO_Heinle says:
*CMO* Be very careful , I am sending the SO to help you

CMORichey says:
*CO* aye sir

Ops_Domar says:
*CMO* Would you still like to see me for that medical Doc. ?

SO_Nick says:
CSO: The escape pods where launched and they where picked up by another ship

CO_Heinle says:
SO: Could you assist the CMO in the lab , please ?

CMORichey says:
:::activates the EMH and instructs it to monitor he XO:::

SO_Nick says:
CO: yes sir, after I finished my report to the CSO

CO_Heinle says:
CSO: you might want to try and track those ships down...see if there is any incidents with them

*CO* Sir the plant in stasis appears to be composed of Ferengi DNA as well

CO_Heinle says:
CSO: No one from TAC as well ? just in case ?

CO_Heinle says:
*CMO* that is very interesting

CMORichey says:
*CO* I'll keep you posted

CSO_Oded says:
CO:I can't see any around if you know what I mean

CMORichey says:
SO: What is your analysis?

SO_Nick says:
CMO: It seems that the  plant reproduces him self by injecting some sort of virus in a person.

CO_Heinle says:
CSO: Why not take a body from Eng. and Sci, and medical as well as the TAC Dept ?

ACTDVince says:
ACTION: there are several Logs recorded in the Computer ...

CMORichey says:
:::enters sickbay and puts the two specimens in stasis, then sets up another field::::

ACTDVince says:
Damon Daqy Log 1
My men have acquired the plants we seek.  Grand Negus must be mad, there is no
sensible profit in these things.
They attacked my Doctor, I suppose he will get better.

ACTDVince says:
Damon Daqy Log 2
My Doctor is very ill.  These plants attack any sentient life. They will be a good weapon
if we can refine their serum, a profitable weapon.  My Doctor's DNA is changing.
Still, I never liked him anyway.

ACTDVince says:
Damon Daqy Log 3
Several of my crew are infected.  The Doctor has become the host for these
plants.  They attack, or assume our bodies.  The Doctor must be ejected.

ACTDVince says:
Damon Daqy Log 4
I have managed to eject the infected crew in the escape pods.  They landed on
the planet below where they can stay.  I have lost my crew, the plants that consumed them
are very resistant.  One attacked me and injected a dart into me.  Am I to suffer their
fate too?.

ACTDVince says:
Damon Daqy Log 5
This is my last Log as Damon.  Dam you Negus for sending us here.  I can hardly speak this
log, my vocal chords are changing .... I have to get help.

ACTDVince says:
ACTION: There are no further logs recorded.

CMORichey says:
:::::lowers the stasis field in sickbay and heals the plants wound, then reactivates it:::

CO_Heinle says:
*CSO* any news ?

CMORichey says:
*SO* Yes you may

CSO_Oded says:

CEO_LtJax says:
<Computer>: Diagnostic Complete, System functioning within' normal parameters

CSO_Oded says:
@*CO* well we found blood from a plant and it seems that all the bodies off the Ferengi were on that planet

CMORichey says:
*CO* Sir, there are no Ferengi on board that ship correct?

SO_Nick TL: Bridge (Deck.wav)

CEO_LtJax says:
Computer: Run a level 3 diagnostic on life support system

CO_Heinle says:
*CSO* are you sure of that ?

SO_Nick says:

CO_Heinle says:
*CMO* trying to find that out now

CMORichey says:
::::scans the plant on a hunch::::

CSO_Oded says:
@*CO* that's what the captains log show

CSO_Oded says:
@CPU: Are their any dead bodies on this ship?

CO_Heinle says:
*CSO* ah, so he got safely away ?

SO_Nick says:
CO: SO Nick Reporting to the bridge

CMORichey says:
Self: no wonder there are large amounts of Ferengi DNA

CSO_Oded says:
@*CO* just a sec
