U.S.S. Pendragon
10303.01

Something old, something new.......

Host Cathy_ says:
On June 26, 1999, the dream began. She launched on a beautiful summer day, a new ship, a new Captain, and a new AGM. The USS Pendragon was launched with a small but able crew…V'Ndor…Vraylle…Tealk and Wilkens…who boldly went where one woman's imagination led them.

They were soon joined by others, Larek, Varr, Zax, Luchena, Stricker, and Harn, as the crew grew, so too did the adventure.

From Camelot, the land of kings, to lands that time forgot, the crew was tossed, turned, and transformed at the twinkling of an eye. Sword fights, sand worms, and little imps named Jolade, the crew faced danger at every turn, and yet, somehow, the magic never faded. We laughed, we cried, we bitched and whined as Karri continued to weave her dream.

Along the way, as the years slipped slowly past, we have lost crew, although there are those of us who seem to always remain. Real life has a way of getting in the way…and yet, this crew, these people, have remained a strong and committed family who have been there for each other in good times and bad, a family led by a sweet and kind matriarch who has managed to hold us together, even throughout all of the sad times in her own life. I am proud to say that once you are a Pendragon, you are always a Pendragon.

If one person is the epitome of just what being a Pendragon is, that person is Karriaunna Scotti, because Karri is the Pendragon. Tonight is probably the saddest day that we have faced together as we not only face the loss of another friend, but of the one person who has kept the dream alive and the Pendragon flying. While we understand her leaving we will never cease to miss her presence, her imagination.

Please join us, the past, present, and future cast and crew of the USS Pendragon as we salute this kind and wonderful woman…our AGM, our SM, our fearless leader, our friend. As Nightwind, she has always been lost, forever lost, but we hope that she knows that here she has been found, and can always come home.

If you all will click on the following link, you can share a small tribute that Jane has created to salute Karri on this very special night.

Captain's log, Stardate 10303.01. The Pendragon has been sent to assist N'oelian, the fifth planet in the Alpha Jirani System. The planet has been struck by a plague for which they have as yet been unable to find a cure.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
To make matters worse, their primary food supply...the Toris plant...has fallen in short supply. We are enroute to provide food and medical assistance...

::at her station::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
ALL: Status?

TO_Choi says:
::At Tac1, feeling rather lonely::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: in sickbay looking over info on the plague::

CNS_Luchena says:
Fuzzy:  Who's a pretty tribble?

CEO_DeRidder says:
::hears Luchena over the com::  *CNS* Yeah...   I'm awake....

XO_Rofax says:
CO: All stations reporting normal Captain.

CNS_Luchena says:
*CEO*:  Hey lover.  Are you busy?

CEO_DeRidder says:
*CNS* Just sitting in my quarters looking over some old photographs.  Gotta go back on duty in a little bit.  What are you up to?

CNS_Luchena says:
*CEO*:  Heading to the bridge.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  ETA to N'oelian 5 minutes, Captain.

CNS_Luchena says:
::enters TL::  TL:  Deck 1

CNS_Luchena says:
Fuzzy:  Who's a clever tribble?  ::pets it some more::

CIV_Brock says:
::Is in his quarters getting is uniform on.::

TO_Choi says:
::Glances at Rofax, over in one of the two 'Big chairs' and sighs::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::nods generally:: OPS: Any word on assistance from the other planets?

CEO_DeRidder says:
*CNS* Fun days...  I got some mission orders a little while ago. Something about having to prepare some industrial large replicators...

CEO_DeRidder says:
::gets up and slips on his uniform jacket::

CNS_Luchena says:
*CEO*:  Mission orders?  I'd better back to work.  See you later?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Checking, Sir.  ::checks::

CNS_Luchena says:
::enters the bridge and looks around::

CEO_DeRidder says:
*CNS* Yeah...  We on for Dinner?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  None, Sir.  They tried but are now too frightened of the plague to offer assistance.

CNS_Luchena says:
*CEO*:  Good idea.

CEO_DeRidder says:
::zips up his tunic::

CIV_Brock says:
::Upon finishing, he stands in front of a mirror, making adjustments.::

CNS_Luchena says:
::walks up to Choi and holds out the tribble::

XO_Rofax says:
::pulls up sensor data from the SCI console, reviewing the system info once again::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: What about food, at least? We can transport it, so they won't have to worry about contamination.

CNS_Luchena says:
TO:  Here.

CEO_DeRidder says:
*CNS* Cool.  DeRidder out.  ::exits his quarters headed for Main Engineering::

 TO_Choi says:
::Looks at Luchena, whispers:: CNS: Umm... Mikal!?

CIV_Brock says:
::Thinks- Here goes nothing...I guess.::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  They are refusing to waste supplies on a race they consider doomed.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: Has the science department found any relationship between the plague and the crop failures?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  ETA 1 Minute, Captain.

SO_S`canner says:
::strolls on the bridge from the turbolift whistling softly::

CNS_Luchena says:
TO:  Here.  This tribble needs a home and I know Katia would have wanted you to have it.  ::still holding out the tribble::

CIV_Brock says:
::Leaves his quarters and starts looking for the nearest Turbolift.::

CNS_Luchena says:
TO:  its name is Fuzzy Wuzzy but you can call it Fuzzy for short.

XO_Rofax says:
CO: As confident as I am that assessment is true, we unfortunately have not been able to confirm that Captain.

SO_S`canner says:
::hears Science and looks from the CO to the XO::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::nearly growls:: OPS: Remind our "friendly Federation members" that they are bound by treaty to render assistance.

CEO_DeRidder says:
::enters main engineering and walks over to the master situation table, then calls out to one of the engineers::  EO_Farley: How are we coming on those industrial replicators?

TO_Choi says:
::Takes the tribble with his left hand:: CNS: What can I say, thank you Lieutenant... Never really had any pets...

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: Have them keep on it.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Sir, the planet is hailing us.

XO_Rofax says:
SO: What have you got thus far, Lt?

TO_Choi says:
CNS: And I’m proud that you think that the Captain would want me to have it..

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Put them on.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::puts the hail on-screen:: CO:  On-screen, Sir.

CNS_Luchena says:
::nods solemnly::

CNS_Luchena says:
TO:  And you have to pet him and tell him he's a pretty tribble.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::looks up at the screen::

CEO_DeRidder says:
<EO_Farley> CEO: Standing By in Cargo Two.  All they are waiting on is the replication matrix for whatever the heck it is they eat.

CIV_Brock says:
::Finds a Turbolift, and he summons it.::

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks serious::

SO_S`canner says:
::coughs:: CO/XO: So far... Sir/Ma'am... the relationship is unknown

Host Rhoria_Leia says:
COMM:Pendragon: Thank the heavens you have arrived.

TO_Choi says:
::Pets the tribble:: Fuzzy: Umm... Preeeeettyyy tribble...

SO_S`canner says:
::stares intently at his board::

CNS_Luchena says:
::nods at Choi and walks to his chair::

Host Rhoria_Leia says:
Action: The Rhoria is a small, reptilian woman, green in color. Rather frail looking.

XO_Rofax says:
::looks to Choi and wonders if they need to review the ship's pet policy while on duty::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::notes there is a new officer on-board and assigns quarters::

CIV_Brock says:
::The TL's door opens and he enters.:: Computer: Bridge.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
COMM: Rhoria: This is Captain O'Dunn. We're glad to be of assistance. Is there any change in the situation?

TO_Choi says:
::Smiles slightly and places the tribble on the chair beside him:: Fuzzy: there ya' go..

Host Rhoria_Leia says:
Action: Fuzzy purrs.

CNS_Luchena says:
::sits down and looks at the viewscreen::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::wonders when Pettigrove is going to send that "friendly reminder" to the Federation planets::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::watches power allocations and monitors comms ... just to look busy::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: is baffled::

Host Rhoria_Leia says:
COMM:Pendragon: Just more death and dying, I'm afraid.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::sends a friendly reminder to all Federation planets in the region asking for assistance::

SO_S`canner says:
::hopes green is the person's normal color::

CIV_Brock says:
::The TL door opens, he steps out, onto the bridge and looks around for the XO...::

Host Rhoria_Leia says:
COMM:Pendragon: You must help us! the newest batch of hatchlings will hatch in less than a week!

CNS_Luchena says:
::notices a new officer enter the bridge::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
COMM: Rhoria: I won't try to convince you not to be, but we'll do everything in our power to help. Are your science teams ready to send us their latest data?

TO_Choi says:
TO_Tortilla: Mister Tortilla.. mind having someone deliver this little guy to my... umm.. the CTO's office.. thank you.

XO_Rofax says:
::hears the doors and stands upon seeing the new face::  CIV:  Ensign, welcome to the Pendragon.

Host Rhoria_Leia says:
Action: She nods at someone off screen.

TO_Choi says:
::Wishes he could ask Mikal if this thing is toilet trained::

Host Rhoria_Leia says:
COMM:Pendragon: It is being transmitted now.

CIV_Brock says:
::Hands Rofax a PADD.:: XO: Ensign Brock reporting for duty, sir!

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Captain, a request has been sent to all Federation planets in the region requesting assistance.

TO_Choi says:
Fuzzy: Bye bye.. pretty tribble... ::Watches as Tortilla removes the tribble from the bridge, chuckles lightly::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
COMM: Rhoria: Thank you. We'll begin our medical assessment and aid the moment we arrive. Food shipments will begin as soon as we've programmed your primary crop into the synthesizer.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: That's something, at least.

CNS_Luchena says:
::sits quietly::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::sees replies coming in::

XO_Rofax says:
::takes the PADD and notes the scars on the CIV remembering something from his personnel report::  CIV: Thank you.  You will report to the Captain, Kerina O'Dunn, for the record.  But until things are settled, you can take the open station over there.  ::nods to a console::

Host Rhoria_Leia says:
COMM:Pendragon: Thank you! Thank you! May the blessing of Rohan be upon you! ::she changes color to pink::

CNS_Luchena says:
::knows that Fuzzy is in good hands::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
COMM: Rhoria: Our pleasure. We'll contact again you once we enter orbit.

XO_Rofax says:
::watches the color-changing Lizard hoping she was supposed to do that::

CIV_Brock says:
XO: Yes, sir. ::Moves over to the open station.::

Host Rhoria_Leia says:
Action: She closes the channel.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Sir, Federation planets in the region are still refusing to offer assistance.  It looks like we are on our own, unless we can get assistance from the Romulan controlled planets.

TO_Choi says:
::Conducts his usual weapons sweep, making sure everything is in order::

CEO_DeRidder says:
:looking over the table at the current stats::  EO: Fair enough.  Alert the programming team and stand by with them in Cargo two.  ::hits the comm:: *CO* DeRidder to O'Dunn

CEO_DeRidder says:
 ::watches as the EO nods and walks off to complete his task::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Tell them they have one more chance to live up to their legal obligations before I file a complaint with the Council.

CMO_Shiar says:
Dr. Nick: what have you got?

SO_S`canner says:
::is glad they closed the viewscreen, he can't stand a pink lizard::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
*CEO*: What is it, DeRidder?

XO_Rofax says:
::return to his chair and sits::

CMO_Shiar says:
<Dr. Nick> CMO: nothing, I can't think of a thing

Host Rhoria_Leia says:
.Action: The chair squeaks.

CNS_Luchena says:
::remembers something else he needed to do::

CEO_DeRidder says:
*CEO* Just wanted to give you a status report...  There's no need to bite my head off Captain....  ::says with a smile in his voice::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Aye Sir.  ::composes a message with the CO's message about one more chance and sends it off::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::looks at Rofax, wondering if he broke the chair::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Message sent.

TO_Choi says:
CO: Captain!? I'm detecting a Romulan vessel on sensors

SO_S`canner says:
::thinks the XO put on some weight and will probably break his chair::

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  I'll be in sickbay.  ::stands up and walks to the TL::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Hail the Romulan vessel.

XO_Rofax says:
Self:  Katia.... she knew....  she just knew I would sit down at some point....

CIV_Brock says:
::Thinks- Great, I knew this old bucket would have a different control layout than I'm used to...::

XO_Rofax says:
CNS: Understood CNS.  Everything alright?

CNS_Luchena says:
::sends Rofax a mental image of what he intends to do::

CNS_Luchena says:
::enters TL::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
COMM: Romulans:  Romulan vessel, this is the USS Pendragon, come in please.

CNS_Luchena says:
TL:  Deck 7

CEO_DeRidder says:
::hears the mention of a romulan vessel over the Com::  Self: Great  ::downloads information on the replicators to a PADD.  *CO* Never mind...  I'm coming up.

XO_Rofax says:
CO: Captain.  Ens Alan Brock.... our new civilian.  ::hands over the padd::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::starts composing a formal Letter of Complaint and Protest to the Federation Council on her chair's PADD::

Host Rhoria_Leia says:
Action: The Romulan ship remains where it is, just.....watching.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  No response from the Romulans, Sir.  And the Federation planets are still refusing to offer assistance.

CNS_Luchena says:
::emerges on Deck 7 and walks to sickbay::

CEO_DeRidder says:
::exits main engineering, headed to the bridge::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::stops and takes the PADD, giving it a quick glance:: CIV: Welcome aboard.

SO_S`canner says:
::looks at the sensors and attempts to get some good pictures of the Romulan Vessel for his scrapbook::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::hails the Romulans again::

CIV_Brock says:
CO: Thank you, Sir- I mean ma'am.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
TO: Keep an eye on the Romulans, but don't do anything even remotely hostile.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::eyes Brock:: CIV: "Sir" is correct.

SO_S`canner says:
::hopes taking pictures is not hostile::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Captain, I'm getting a new report.  10,000 more deaths reported.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
CIV: I've never liked "ma'am".

CNS_Luchena says:
::enters sickbay and looks around for Shiar::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: ETA to orbit?

CIV_Brock says:
CO: Alright, sir.

CMO_Shiar says:
CNS: hi

CMO_Shiar says:
CNS: what can I do for you?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  We can enter orbit now, Sir

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::nods to the CIV:: XO: See if you can find something helpful for our newest crewmember, Commander.

CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  Doctor.  I was wondering if we could have a quick private talk?

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Standard orbit, then open a channel to the Rhoria.

CMO_Shiar says:
CNS: sure, my office?

CEO_DeRidder says:
::enters the bridge::  CO: Captain, ::hands the Captain yet ANOTHER padd::  The Replicators are standing by in Cargo two.  All they are waiting on is a matrix upload of their nutritional requirements as you ordered.

Host Rhoria_Leia says:
Action: The XO's chair tips to the left with a very loud squeak.

XO_Rofax says:
CO: Aye Captain.  ::stands and moves to the CIF’s console::

CNS_Luchena says:
::nods and goes into the Como’s office.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::whispers to Rofax:: XO: Run some "quiet" scans on that Romulan.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::brings the ship into standard orbit and hails the Rhoria::

CIV_Brock says:
::Thinks- Helpful? Yeah, just get the new officer out of the way...::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: goes into the office:: CNS: so, how can I help you?

SO_S`canner says:
::sees the XO squirm to the left:: Self: I knew it...

XO_Rofax says:
CO: Permission to replace my chair with a milk crate, Captain.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::takes the third PADD and adds it to her pile:: CEO: Get with the science department...they should have the requirements now.

Host Rhoria_Leia says:
COMM:Pendragon: Yes? ::looks harassed::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::smiles:: XO: Permission denied.

CNS_Luchena says:
::sits down across the Como’s desk::  CMO:  The other day when you came to sickbay, after you'd been drinking... the day we lost the Captain.  Do you remember?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  I have Rhoria, Sir.  ::puts the image on-screen::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
COMM: Rhoria: We've entered orbit. With your permission, we'll begin transporting medical teams as per our previous arrangements.

CEO_DeRidder says:
CO: Aye Ma'am...   And by the way...  ::rubs the new pip::  Thank you Captain.

CMO_Shiar says:
CNS: barely, but yes

CMO_Shiar says:
CNS: I remember

CMO_Shiar says:
:: sits::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::calls out after the CEO:: You're welcome...and it's "sir!"

CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  It was a very difficult day for all of us.  But you came into sickbay intoxicated.  It might not go unnoticed by the command staff.

XO_Rofax says:
CIV: Any areas of expertise?  ::taps on the open console next to his::

Host Rhoria_Leia says:
COMM:Pendragon: Permission granted, Please hurry! ::turns brown::

CIV_Brock says:
XO: Astrometrics, sir.

CEO_DeRidder says:
::raises eyebrows:: CO: Yes Sir....  ::sighs:: walks over to the science station::  Self: Wonder what got in her bonnet today....

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::nods to Leia, then to OPS to close the channel::

TO_Choi says:
::Runs a tactical sweep of the Planet incase::

CMO_Shiar says:
CNS: where would you suggest I go when I’m intoxicated?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::closes the channel::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: Start sending down the medical teams, with the security detail as planned.

XO_Rofax says:
CIV: Secondary field?  ::sends the data stream to Choi::

XO_Rofax says:
CO: Aye Captain.

CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  To bed.  I'm not judging you Doctor.  But if it's interfering in your duties maybe it's time to do something about it?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Shall I get Mr. DeRidder to begin transporting the supplies, Sir?

TO_Choi says:
CO: Security teams standing by for transport Ma'am

CEO_DeRidder says:
::sitting at the science station with the new science officer, then looks up at hearing his name mentioned::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: As soon as he's ready. Notify the surface when that starts, too.

XO_Rofax says:
TO: Lt, assembles your teams in TR2.  Standard deployment plus two.  Go once the Med Teams report.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
TO: Coordinate with the XO...he's in charge of landing details.

CIV_Brock says:
XO: My secondary field would be Stellar Cartography. 

CMO_Shiar says:
CNS: don't worry, I can handle it. and I came here so that medical personnel could be nearby in case I vomited during my sleep.

CEO_DeRidder says:
OPS: And I should be ready in just a second... The Matrix upload to the replicators has started and lacks another 2 minutes or so....  It's a LARGE file.... 

Host Rhoria_Leia says:
Action: The Pendragon starts sending down supplies.

CNS_Luchena says:
::nods::  CMO:  You stopped me once, Doctor.  If you ever need similar assistance, just let me know.  ::smiles and stands::

XO_Rofax says:
CIV: Very well.  Continue scans of the area...

CMO_Shiar says:
CNS: thank you for your concern.

TO_Choi says:
XO: Yes sir... Teams Alpha with an installment from Beta is ready in TR2..

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Yes, Sir.  CEO:  Begin transporting when you're ready.  ::sends notification to the planet that the supplies are on their way::

CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  I think we're nearly there.  I won't keep you any longer.

CIV_Brock says:
XO: Yes, sir.

CEO_DeRidder says:
::gets up:: OPS/CEO: Ok...  Upload is complete.  I'll be in Cargo Two.  Shall I send an engineer down with the stuff to instruct the folks on how to use it?

XO_Rofax says:
TO: Have a look at this.  ::transmits the data on the Romulan ship - It is a new prototype. Heavy firepower. Not armed yet::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Sir, another 2500 now reported dead.  I hope there will be someone left to help.

CIV_Brock says:
::Starts scanning the area.::

CMO_Shiar says:
CNS: ok

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::still fuming over the supposed Federation members refusing to offer assistance::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: smiles::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::hears OPS:: SELF: Ok, that's it.

CNS_Luchena says:
::goes a bit pale::  CMO:  Good luck with the mission.  ::leaves Shiar's office::

TO_Choi says:
::Opens the data:: XO: Woah..looks like the Romulans still have a few tricks up their sleeve...

XO_Rofax says:
OPS: One life is enough to make a difference for me.  How are things coming on your end?

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Open a comm to Admiral Crenshaw, in my Ready Room.

CEO_DeRidder says:
::starts for the door seeing that he's being ignored - sighs::  Self: Forget it....  ::exits headed for Cargo Two.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::hears the CO:: CO:  Sir?

CMO_Shiar says:
DR. Nick: that was nice of him

CMO_Shiar says:
:: gets back to work::

CNS_Luchena says:
::wanders out into the corridor::

XO_Rofax says:
TO: Passive scans.  First sign of weapons, be ready to raise the Alert.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: I'm not waiting for a formal grievance to process. I'm lighting some fires NOW.

CNS_Luchena says:
::debates whether to seek out David or go to the bridge::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::opens a channel to the Admiral and diverts it to the CO's ready room::

Host Rhoria_Leia says:
Action: On the planet, the doctors are overwhelmed by the stench of death, the patients are dying faster than they can help them.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::hears the XO's order and nods to herself, approvingly::

CEO_DeRidder says:
::in the turbolift, taps combadge::  *XO* DeRidder to Rofax....   

CEO_DeRidder says:
::exits the turbo lift headed for cargo two::

CNS_Luchena says:
::enters a TL::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Supplies are on their way, Sir.  Just waiting now on the medical teams to beam down.

CNS_Luchena says:
TL:  Bridge.

XO_Rofax says:
*CEO* Go ahead Chief.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: You have the bridge. ::walks quickly into the RR and opens the comm:: COMM: Crenshaw: Admiral?

XO_Rofax says:
CO: Aye

CNS_Luchena says:
::tries to shield his feelings from the suffering he senses from the planet::

TO_Choi says:
XO: Understood sir, Maintaining passive lock on that vessel...

CEO_DeRidder says:
*XO* I guess that the 'Captain' didn't hear me... Pindari...  Do you guys want me to send an engineer down with that replicator?  They aren't going to know how to use it.  

CNS_Luchena says:
::arrives on the bridge and takes his chair::

XO_Rofax says:
OPS: Let's rush them then.  Send all available medically trained personnel we can spare.

CMO_Shiar says:
*XO*: I’ve been going through the disease and the only answer I have at the moment is to isolate those with it and make sure those without get non contaminated food

OPS_Pettigrove says:
*CO*:  Captain, the admiral is unavailable.  A Commander O'Reilly is waiting to speak to you.

CNS_Luchena says:
::wonders where Kerina is::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
SELF: Commander...? ::getting infuriated:: COMM: O'Reilly: Where's the admiral??

XO_Rofax says:
*CEO* Go ahead Chief.  Send a whole team if you can spare them, we need to get a handle on things.

Host Commander_O says:
COMM:O'Dunn: Yes, what can I do for you Captain?

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
COMM: O'Reilly: You can get me the admiral, Commander.

CNS_Luchena says:
::locates her volatile emotions in the ready room::

XO_Rofax says:
*CMO* Makes sense Doctor, but what about those contaminated?  Do we leave them for dead?

CEO_DeRidder says:
*XO* Right....  My sentiments exactly.  I have a team standing by.

Host Commander_O says:
:;looks irritated::  COMM:O'Dunn: I would if he was here.

CEO_DeRidder says:
::enters Cargo Two::

XO_Rofax says:
*CEO* On your mark, Lt.

CNS_Luchena says:
OPS:  I'm lost.  Are we in orbit?

CMO_Shiar says:
*XO*: at the moment... I’m afraid so.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CNS:  Yes, Counsellor.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
COMM: O'Reilly: Fine, then. Where IS he?

CEO_DeRidder says:
*XO* ::chuckles::  THAT's going to take some getting used to...  DeRidder Out.

CMO_Shiar says:
*XO*: but we are working on a cure

CNS_Luchena says:
CNS:  Thank you Jordan.  ::smiles::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::smiles back::

Host Commander_O says:
COMM:O'Dunn: He is on his way to a meeting on Rigel IV. He will be incommunicado for 4 hours.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
COMM: O'Reilly: His superior will do then.

CIV_Brock says:
::Thinks- Nothing unusual... How about there?::

XO_Rofax says:
*CEO* On second thought, belay that replicator.  I don't want it loose until we have a better handle on what the situation is.

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks over at the new officer scanning away::

CMO_Shiar says:
*XO*: I suggest sending my recommendations to the planet

CEO_DeRidder says:
::tapping in commands::  *XO* Aye... So just us workers?  ::looking over at the eager engineers::

CMO_Shiar says:
*XO*: sir

Host Commander_O says:
COMM:O'Dunn: He'll call you back. ::disconnects::

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  Can I go down, Sir?

TO_Choi says:
::Monitoring the Romulan ship with a sharp eye::

XO_Rofax says:
*CMO* Doctor, any chance we can isolate and quarantine the sick and healthy away from each other?

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::pounds the desk with a fist, starting to feel the urge to blow something up::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
*OPS*: Open that channel again!

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::re-opens the channel:: *CO*:  Channel open, Sir.

CMO_Shiar says:
*XO*: if they have the facilities down there I can't see why not.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::waits to see the weaselly face again::

XO_Rofax says:
CNS: I am afraid that may be a bad idea considering your week Lt.  Empathy is an excellent tool, but I feel you may become overwhelmed.

CNS_Luchena says:
::wonders if the other telepaths are feeling this::

XO_Rofax says:
*CMO* Care to lead a team down?

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  Do you feel it?

Host Commander_O says:
Action: All she sees in the SFC insignia....kind of like the NBS peacock.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
*OPS*: I thought you said the channel was open?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Commander!  I'm picking up communications from the Romulan ship.  They've just contacted one of their planets inquiring about infection ... They almost sounded afraid.

CMO_Shiar says:
*XO*: sure

XO_Rofax says:
CNS: I've been afraid to actually....

CNS_Luchena says:
::nods thoughtfully::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::checks the channel:: *CO*:  It is, Sir.  They're not responding on the other end!

CIV_Brock says:
::Is immersed in scanning, ignoring almost everything.::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
*OPS*: I....see. ::sounds frighteningly quiet::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::smiles::

TO_Choi says:
::Detects the signs off Comm activity::

XO_Rofax says:
OPS: Afraid?  Any ideas of what?

CMO_Shiar says:
:: leaves Dr. Nick in charge and leaves for tr1::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
*OPS*: Open a channel to the University of Havata, on Vulcan. Ask for Director V'Nel.

CEO_DeRidder says:
::decides to just go with it::  Eng. Team: Ok Folks... We're leaving the equipment behind...  Everyone up on the PADD.  ::tapping in coordinates - hits the comm button::  *CMO* DeRidder to Doctor Shiar...  

XO_Rofax says:
CNS: Do you think you can handle yourself?

CMO_Shiar says:
:: enters a TL:: TL: TR1

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::goes pale as new figures come up on her screen:: XO:  Sir, they're afraid of becoming infected by whatever is killing those down there.  And I just got a report of another 25,000 infected people.

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  I think so, Sir.  And I think I could be helpful.

CMO_Shiar says:
*CEO*: yes?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
*CO*:  Aye, Sir.  ::opens a channel to the University and asks for Director V'Nel::

XO_Rofax says:
OPS: Lock out transporters.  Do not beam any of our personnel down!

TO_Choi says:
XO: Commander, the Romulan's have changed position slightly... Nothing to be alarmed about..

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks at Rofax::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::while waiting, thinks about how suspicious it is that the Romulan ship wouldn't return a hail, all things considered::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::quickly locks out the transporters:: XO:  Transporters locked.

CEO_DeRidder says:
::walks over to the transporter pad in Cargo Two::  *CMO* Doctor... I wanted to know if there was anyway we could bring any of this stuff back up to the ship... Think the Bio filters will filter it out?  ::sees the transporter go offline::  

CEO_DeRidder says:
All: NOW what?!?

XO_Rofax says:
OPS: Any sign of infection among the Romulans?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::scans the ship and the planet they hailed::

Host Cathy_ says:
COMM:V'Nel: Its is good to see you, Kerina.

XO_Rofax says:
*CMO* Doctor, do we have a pathology on this thing yet?

CNS_Luchena says:
::wonders how many are dying each moment they wait::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Not that I can tell from this distance, Sir.

Host Cathy_ says:
Action: Each moment brings a death rate of 100 more.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::nods politely, habitually composing her emotions upon seeing him:: COMM: V'Nel: And you, Director.

XO_Rofax says:
CNS: Bio-suits.  Have enough for the away team and make haste.

TO_Choi says:
Self: How to get inside the minds of these Romulans... if only I were Betazoid... ::sigh::

CMO_Shiar says:
*CEO*: the bio filters should filter it out although I’d prefer to confine any personnel to sickbay for tests.

CNS_Luchena says:
::feels the souls winking out of existence like fireflies in the night::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: steps off the TL and enters Cargo Bay 2::

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  Thank you Sir.  ::gets up and heads for the TL::

XO_Rofax says:
CNS: I feel it now.... hurry Mikal....

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Should I attempt to hail the Romulans again, Sir?

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
COMM: V'Nel: Sorry to bother you, but I need your help. More specifically, the help of some of your contacts in the Starfleet Science department.

Host VNel says:
::nods silently and waits::

XO_Rofax says:
OPS: Prepare to beam the entire team and needed supplies.  We need to slow this down.

CEO_DeRidder says:
*CMO* Noted.  ::steps off the pad and goes over to the transporter console and sees that transport operations have been cut off at the bridge - hits the comm button::  *XO* Commander...  What's going on up there?

CNS_Luchena says:
::steps in::  TL: Deck 10

CIV_Brock says:
::Holds his head up with a hand, he can't shut out the feelings from planet any longer.::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::explains the situation up to date, including the refusal of the Federation members for assistance and the brusque cutoff by a certain commander at Starfleet::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Aye Sir.  Preparing to beam the team and supplies down now.  ::locks onto the teams:: XO:  Ready on your order, Sir.

XO_Rofax says:
*CEO* Slight delay Chief.  The Romulans are playing cat and mouse.  Suit up, Luchena is leading the team down.

CNS_Luchena says:
::emerges onto Deck 10 and heads for transporter room 1::

XO_Rofax says:
OPS: Try to hail them once again.

CEO_DeRidder says:
*XO* Suit up?  I thought Shiar said the bio filters could catch this thing....

OPS_Pettigrove says:
COMM:Romulans:  Romulan Vessel, this is the Federation Starship Pendragon.  Respond, please.

XO_Rofax says:
*CEO* Not going to risk it Chief.  Rofax out.

CNS_Luchena says:
::enters the transporter room and removes several EVA suits from the storage locker::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
COMM: V'Nel: I was hoping you might have a little more luck than myself.

Host VNel says:
::nods imperviously:: COMM:Pen: I understand your frustration. What can I do?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Sir, I won't unlock the transporters until we're ready.

TO_Choi says:
::Looks to Tortilla as he re-enters the bridge:: Tortilla: Ensign, what took you so long!?

CEO_DeRidder says:
::shakes head::  Eng Team: Ok... You heard the man...   Bio Suits...  Move out to Transporter Room 1

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
COMM: V'Nel: You have colleagues in San Francisco that will listen to you. Explain the situation to them, try to get them to take some action.

XO_Rofax says:
OPS: Noted.... are we ready?

CNS_Luchena says:
*XO*:  Sir.   Who all is coming down?

CMO_Shiar says:
:: waits::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Yes, Sir.

Host VNel says:
COMM:Pen: That I can do.

XO_Rofax says:
TO: Choi...  Status of that Romulan ship?

CNS_Luchena says:
::suits up while he waits::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Sir, the Romulans are still not responding to hails.

Host VNel says:
COMM:Pen: I will also talk to the counsel and arrange for food and medical supplies.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
COMM: V'Nel: It is much appreciated. I'm shocked at the flagrant disregard for the Articles of Federation I've seen today. :;shakes head::

XO_Rofax says:
*CNS* Yourself, the Doctor, and an Engineering team.  Security teams as well.

TO_Choi says:
XO: Nothing much to report Sir.... they've changed position slightly... Not enough to worry about though...

CEO_DeRidder says:
::heads out to Transporter room 1 stopping by to suit up in a bio suit:: 

CMO_Shiar says:
CNS: why are you suiting up?

CNS_Luchena says:
*XO*:  No more medical personnel?

CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  I'm going with you.

CIV_Brock says:
::Thinks- What are the odds of a Romulan attack? They ARE unpredictable...::

Host VNel says:
COMM:Pen: Fear is a  controlling and irrational emotion, Kerina.

CEO_DeRidder says:
::enters TR1 and most of the Engineers dribble in behind him, tricorders and environmental kits in hand::

CMO_Shiar says:
CNS: but there is no need for the suits, this disease only affects Noelians

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
COMM: V'Nel: It would appear so. Again, thanks for your help. O'Dunn out.

CNS_Luchena says:
::passes out the EVA suits::

CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  Rofax's orders.

XO_Rofax says:
*CNS* I ordered all available personnel with medical expertise to have been beamed down.  They should be there already Lt.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::closes the channel, and walks out of the RR, feeling a bit more composed::

CNS_Luchena says:
*XO*:  Understood.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: Status?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Commander, I'm still picking up transmissions from the Romulan ship to their planets.  However, they do not appear to be a threat to us at the moment.

CEO_DeRidder says:
::walks over to the control console and enters coordinates - sickening feeling comes over him::

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks at David::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: steps on the transporter padd and waits, not wearing an EVA suit::

XO_Rofax says:
CO: Captain, I am sending down another team.  The CNS, CMO, CEO, and several teams.  This plagues is out of control and the Romulans have gone silent.

CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  Orders are orders Doctor.  Get a suit on.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO/CO:  1200 more reported dead ...

CIV_Brock says:
::Tries to get his mind back on his work, instead of the death and suffering on the planet.::

TO_Choi says:
Self: Damn these Romulans... If you’re going to be here! then do something!

CEO_DeRidder says:
::looks up at Mikal::  ~~~CNS: What's going on down there?~~~  ::nods as if to say everything is ready::

XO_Rofax says:
OPS: Noted.  Are they withdrawing personnel still?

CEO_DeRidder says:
::sets the console to automatic and steps on the pad::

CNS_Luchena says:
~~~CEO:  Death.~~~

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::raises an eyebrow:: XO: They weren't silent for a while?

CMO_Shiar says:
:: starts putting a suit on:: CNS: this is pointless and will cause mass hysteria. you are aware of that aren't you?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  No, Sir.

CNS_Luchena says:
::grins at Shiar::

CEO_DeRidder says:
::turns a bit pale::  CNS: Lets get down there...  Automatic setting ready on the transporter

XO_Rofax says:
CO: The 'a while' has become disturbingly longer Captain.  I would say they are ignoring us.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::sighs upon hearing OPS:: OPS: Keep a tally if you like, but there's no need to keep telling the rest of us right now.

Host VNel says:
