<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin -  One by one they fall - Chapter 2 of Home again>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
@::Is in some quarters assigned to her, and is going through the reports of the missing crewmembers::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@::walks along the promenade headed towards the security office::

XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: On the bridge reading the reports and trying to find a pattern::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@::walks over the spot where he was informed that Stuart had been stabbed, pausing momentarily for thought before heading onward::

Host Adm_Xavier says:
@*CO*:  Captain, this is Admiral Xavier, please come in.

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
@::Flips over to a different PADD, now looking at the reports of the murdered, when she hears the comm.::

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
*Adm*: This is Captain Jameson, Admiral

Host Adm_Xavier says:
@*CO*:  Sorry to interrupt you doing this time.  I know it's difficult.  But do you remember the Amazons I was speaking with you about?

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@;;walks into the security office to find Ren Joam behind the desk:: Ren Joam: Have we received the additional autopsy reports?

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
@ ::Shakes her head slightly, to try and get the mental images of the missing officers out if it::  *Adm*: Yes, we spoke about it before these incidents occurred

Host Adm_Xavier says:
@::Shifts in her seat a bit.::  *CO*:  Well Capt, what I didn't tell you was they have discovered a mineral on their planet that the federation is very interested in.  It's a compound that is capable a making on invisible.  It works with the organics of the body.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He is reading all names from the list that are dead and preparing places for autopsy::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::One thing that he miss is bodies::

XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: takes a seat in chair and goes through more information he had received::

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
@*Adm* Did you want to talk about this over the comm. Admiral?  ::Is very aware that security has only recently been physically breached::

Host Adm_Xavier says:
@*CO*:  The federation desperately wants to get their hands on it.  The Candarns have stated, they will hold an auction in one week’s time.  No exceptions.

Host Adm_Xavier says:
@*CO*:  I'm not worried about security captain, I'm using my own secure channel.

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@<Ren Joam>: CSO: Yes lieutenant the final autopsies were filed within the last hour, although some work is continuing.

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
@*Adm*: And you wish the Tal-war to be the Starfleet representative?

Host Adm_Xavier says:
@::Takes a deep breath.::  *CO*:  The Tal War is the only ship ready to sail at the moment.  ::Waits for the Captains reaction.::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
COM: MO: Lt. Viran please respond.

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
@::Pauses a moment::  *Adm*: And the threat to my ship and it's crew members by an unknown person or persons?

NPC_MO_Viran says:
@COM: CMO: Go ahead. This is Viran.

Host Adm_Xavier says:
@*CO*:  You want to hide Captain?

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@::looks at the findings:: Ren Joam: It would appear there was several assassins onboard, is Janar McQid still detained?

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
@*Adm*: Hide? Oh no! I want the time and resources to be sure that my crew are protected, and can investigate the murders of their fellow crewmen....

Host Adm_Xavier says:
@::Looks down on her hands:;  *CO*:  I understand that Captain but maybe this will entice you.  The beings that are killing your crew are from the Gamma quadrant, the Candarns are also from the Gamma Quadrant...

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@<Ren Joam> CSO: Janar McQid is dead Sir, are sure you don't need some rest?

XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*CMO*: This Commander Exeter, doc, would you be so kind to make Lieutenant's MacAllister’s body ready for transport to Scotland on Earth.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
COM: MO: Well I have been informed that you have some transfer for my ship. A few dead crew member form Tal War at your Sick bay

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
*XO*: I am doing those preparations right now.

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
@::Freezes completely for a few seconds before responding::  *Adm*: You know who the threat are Admiral, and didn't warn us, or tell us until now?

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@Ren Joam: Of cause he is, maybe I do need some sleep, but I don't have the time now!

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
*XO*: I am preparing transfer of late crew members back to us from DS9 Sick bay.

Host Adm_Xavier says:
@*CO*:  We didn't know Captain.  The Candarns are a pre-war society and they shouldn't even be off their planet.  What they want with you is a mystery.  This came out of the blue.

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
@::Shakes her head slightly::  *Adm*: I don't mean to question you Admiral, and of course we will fulfil this mission for you, but how do you know it was the Candarns?

XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*CMO*: Good, be sure that Macalister's body is prepared first for transfer back to earth. I promised his brother that.

NPC_MO_Viran says:
@COM: CMO: But We could do that for you, after all we have prepared everything for transfer.

Host Adm_Xavier says:
@*CO*:  From the one that was killed.  For several years the Federation had an observation post on their planet.  They left about 9 months ago.  Everything is in the data banks now.

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
@::Starts tapping on a PADD in front of her::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
*XO* : I understand that, I will prepare the body my self.

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@::continues to read through the reports:: Ren Joam: Have you found anything interesting in the report?

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
@::Nods, although the admiral can't see her::  *Adm*: So, about the amazons.  Do we know who the competition is, and what value are you willing to give as a top offer?

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
COM: MO: I understand your preparation and concerns on this matter but, pleas, you have to understand our position on that subject.
CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@Ren Joam: Hold that thought... ::taps com badge::  *XO*: Lt. Wuer to Commander Exeter.

Host Adm_Xavier says:
@*CO*:  Everyone and anyone I think.  Right now according to my sources, the Romulans, Cardassians, Ferengi, Bolians have all sent representatives.

XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*CSO*: Exeter here, any news yet?

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
COM: MO: They were our crew members and as I was their Doctor I have to prepare everything for transfer back to their families.

Host Adm_Xavier says:
@*CO*:  There has been a rumour that the Orion Syndicate is also very interested.  I wouldn't be surprised if they showed up also.

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@::Ren Joam points to a point on the page as Tobius goes through the report::

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
@::Shakes her head, and brushes hair from her forehead at the sound of Ferengi::  *Adm*: It'll be hard to get this with so much competition, especially Ferengi.

NPC_MO_Viran says:
@COM: CMO: That is understandable; I will send you all bodies in one hour.

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
@*Adm*: Is there any possibility that this might turn into a violent fight for the highest bid?

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
COM: MO: Good and please, can you send me your data on autopsy?
Host Adm_Xavier says:
@*CO*:  Yes, and here is the complication.  The Federation doesn't want anyone to know that we are after it.  The Eserians have been sworn to secrecy.  You will go under cover.

NPC_MO_Viran says:
@COM: CMO: Of cause, sending data now. Viran out.

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@*XO*: Just going through the motion still, I was curious as to whether or not your investigation into the readouts of Sarah McKeon had revealed anything?

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
@*Adm*: I trust you have a plan to be able to conceal the Tal-War, a Starfleet vessel?

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He is beginning to collect transferred data::

XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*CSO*: Nothing, McKeon still reported dead and we have had no sightings what so ever.

Host Adm_Xavier says:
@*CO*:  No I'm afraid not...I will however give you enough latinum to buy any vessel you want once you go into the Gamma Quadrant.

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@::looks at the line Jen Roam is pointing at in the autopsies of MacAllister’s assassin::

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
@*Adm*: And I suppose that the highest bid is, well, bottomless

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@*XO*: I don't recall McKeon having been killed Sir, I was aware that Admiral Black had arrested her?

Host Adm_Xavier says:
@*CO*:  Not bottomless but...::pauses for effect:: But any means possible.  I don't have to tell you the fall out if the Romulans or heaven forbid the Orions get their hands on a sample of this ore.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
:: All data is received and he begins to analyse findings, and prepares him self for his own autopsy::

XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*CSO*: Whoops, that's the old report when she was reported dead. Well, as far as Starfleet security is concerned still in Jail.

Host Adm_Xavier says:
*CO*:  And Captain, you need to evaluation the security measures the Eserians have in place.  Not everyone is going to accept the outcome of an auction.  The Eserians may not have the facilities to exploit this ore, but too many other races do.

XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*CSO*: Scrap that seems the Admiral escaped.

SO_Lt_Wuer says:
@::reads something which mentions an unknown drug in the assassins system::

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
@::Sighs quietly:: *Adm*: I understand you Admiral. All for us, or nothing for anyone?

Host Adm_Xavier says:
@*CO*:  If that is what you interpret Captain.  I can't fault that.  This is a mission for SFI, so you can take that info as you will.

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@*XO*: Okay Sir, sounds like the reports are a little erratic.... I do have something of interest from the reports now though...

XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*CSO*: Spill it

Host Adm_Xavier says:
@*CO *: The Federation Council is not aware, so once you go through the wormhole, you are on your own.

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@*XO*: It would seem that trace levels of a yet unidentified drug were in his blood stream....

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
@::Tries to control the building anger within her::  *Adm*: Can I just confirm, this mission is an intelligence mission, and therefore the Tal-War and her crew will be working for SFI?

XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*CSO*: Okay, could you save that data and send it over, have this feeling we won't be docked here for long

Host Adm_Xavier says:
@::Smiles meekly::  *CO*:  Through me Captain.  They are not to contact you directly.

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@*XO*Okay Sir, it has been speculated that although the drugs is unknown it may have been a mood modifier, which caused the assailant to act in such a way as to kill Lt. MacAllister

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
@ ::Whispers::  Self: I don't want to be involved with intelligence, not after......

XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*CSO*: Anything more?

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@*XO: No I think I'm almost wrapped up here, with your permission I'm going to head back to the ship ASAP. Wuer Out.

XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*CSO*: Understood, Exeter out.

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@Ren Joam: Have you been able to apprehend any of the other assailants? Or even identify the number of people involved?

Host Adm_Xavier says:
@*CO*:  You have any questions Captain?

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::One of the body has been brought to his Sick bay and he took that poor soul to the laboratory for autopsy::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@<Ren Joam>: CSO: We collected ceremonial knives similar to the one McQid was carrying, but there was know DNA evidence on them...

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
@::Is broken out of her reverie::  *Adm*: Err, nothing except the transfer of the required latinum to buy a different vessel Admiral

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@Ren Joam: And no forensic evidence at the scenes?

Host Adm_Xavier says:
@*CO*:  The transfer has been completed Capt.  It's in your personal account as we speak.

Host Adm_Xavier says:
@*CO*:  There should be enough for bribes and such also.

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@<Ren Joam>CSO: Nothing at all, no evidence with which to make any arrests or even indicate the number people involved.

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
@*Adm*: Thank you admiral.  I take it requests and reports are to be sent directly and securely to yourself

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
:: He got dress up for the job and placed bio filter and field on the laboratory as an proper procedure for autopsy, as the body wasn't all ready been take care off::

Host Adm_Xavier says:
@*CO*:  Yes Captain. ::Pauses to take a sip of her coffee::  I don't need to say watch your backs Capt.  You are walking into a dangerous situation not to mention the hit list on your crew.  Have you done an internal security check yet?

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@Ren Joam: The perfectly planned operation it seems, well thank you for your help Chief, I'm heading back to ship not very much more to be discovered here, but keep us informed if anything turns up...

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@:: Tobius heads to the door:: <Ren Joam> CSO: Aye Sir and good look  ::Tobius turns back and smiles before heading out the door::

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
@*Adm*: If Exeter hasn't done it yet, I’ll demote him to cadet ::Smiles a little for the first time since the incidents::

Host Adm_Xavier says:
@*CO*:  Ahhh I'm in need of a new yeoman...if you demote him, send him over to me unless you want to torture him a bits.  ::Grins a bit.::

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
@:: Starts to think ahead, of possibly assigning a mission to one of her crew to investigate the attackers alongside the rest of the crew's mission::

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
@*Adm*: I wouldn't dare inflict him on you admiral, I’m not that mean.  Also, We've actually started working well together.  Proved himself to be a good executive

XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: heads for the R&R to get a cup of coffee::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
:: He begins to make visual observations on body::

Host Adm_Xavier says:
@*CO*:  I'm glad to hear it.  I suspect before this is over you will need each other.  ::Looks over to her right and nods::  I got to go Capt.  Good hunting and I expect you to come back in one piece understood?

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@:: Tobius heads into the nearest transport lift:: Computer: Docking Pylon Five  ::the lift begins to move::

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
@*Adm*: I didn't have any other intentions Admiral

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
@:*Adm*: Jameson out

Host Adm_Xavier says:
@::Nods:: *CO*:  Good Xavier Out.

XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::moves back to the bridge holding his cup of coffee:: Self: I love it when I sorted almost everything out.

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
@::Waits for a second, before tapping her comm. badge:: *XO*: Jameson to Exeter, what is your location?

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
Computer: Start recording of autopsy on 19:04 hours.

XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*CO*: I'm on the bridge.

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
@::Scoops up all the PADD in front of her::  *XO*: I'm on my way, we have new mission orders

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@::The transport lift stop and he finds himself at the airlock to the Tal-War::  *XO*: Permission to report back aboard Sir, I'm alone it would seem Admiral Xavier has reassigned Ms Santos...

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
Computer: Body is male, Mr. Macalister, with multiple wounds.

XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*CSO*: permission granted, report to the bridge, lieutenant. We got new orders.

XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*CO*: I had a feeling about that.

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
@::Heads out of the quarters, and towards where the Tal is docked::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::heads though as the airlock opens and heads to the nearest TL:: Computer: Bridge!

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::he wonders why exactly Renee had been reassigned, they had had little time to talk, just a brief conversation in Quarks but she had told him little, and now his two best friends where gone::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
Computer: Two of them are made in cardial place, and one in spleen

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Is now in the TL, heading up to the bridge, and her RR::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::walks out of the TL onto the bridge:: XO: Reporting for duty Sir....

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
Computer: This wounds ware crucial for his death.

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::looks around at all the new officers occupying OPS, TAC positions where his friends had previously sat::

XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CSO: Take your station, lieutenant and welcome back in one piece

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Arrives on the bridge, and aims straight for her RR, as her arms are still filled with PADDs::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
XO: Thank you Sir, unfortunately I can't say the same for six other, or Lt. Santos for that matter, although a can say she is still in one piece last I saw her

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
Computer: I will now open this body.

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::heads over to SCI I and sits down behind the console::

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Sitting down, she takes a deep breath::  *XO*: Exeter, report to my RR

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
Computer: I need to make sure what type of weapon is used to make a kill.

XO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::exhales:: *CO*: coming, ma'am ::looks around:: Self; Once more into the breach, dear friends.
