SUMMARY:  It's been four days since the Tal War was repaired and they've gotten back into space.  They are presently en route to Orphal IV where a plague has erupted and people are dying in the millions.  Will the Tal War be able to prevent anymore deaths or is the plague so out of control that they must let nature take its course?

:: standing in front of the window, watching the stars, as he waits for the senior officers to take their seats ::

AOPS_Ltjg_Nalla_Thel says:
:: enters the briefing room, padd in hand ::

CIV_Capt_Jameson says:
::Is already in a seat, which is a little odd because it's not her usual one::

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::turns his chair in circles slowly::

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::walks into the conference room and silently takes a seat::

CEO_Cmdr_Quchant says:
::wanders in and sits down::

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::stops going in circles, feeling slightly dizzy::

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
::enters, adjusting his medical tricorder and reading his padd::

ACSO_Lt_York says:
::steps inside, his mind somewhere else and sits down in his chair::

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
::steadies CTO's chair absentmindedly and sits down next to him::

AOPS_Ltjg_Nalla_Thel says:
:: takes Telgars usual seat and grins ::

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::looks over to AOPS, a cold stare::

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::stares at his hands::

CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
::enters the room, seeing everyone with new eyes as she does; she was tired of being put in the backseat in her own body by Inara::

ACO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: turns and faces the table, his eyes taking in each officer, before speaking ::

AOPS_Ltjg_Nalla_Thel says:
:: notices the CTO staring at her and blanks her expression ::

ACSO_Lt_York says:
::sees Ryn enter and smiles at her::

ACO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: takes a deep breath :: ALL: Ladies and gentlemen, we have a difficult task ahead of us.

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::turns his attention to Trelan::

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::taps his fingers on the knuckles of his other hand::

ACO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
ALL: We are currently en route to Orphal IV, a planet with a reported population of 45 million inhabitants. Out of those 45 million, two million have lost their lives due to a disease once eradicated on Earth centuries ago: Hemorrhagic Fever.

CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
::sits down next to Will::

CIV_Capt_Jameson says:
::Takes a padd, and starts writing notes on what is being said::

ACSO_Lt_York says:
::takes her hand beneath the table::

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
::looks up from his PADD and to the ACO::

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::considers correcting the ACO's figures but can't be bothered::

ACO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
ALL: The most disturbing part is that the one who took the disease to the planet was, in fact, a Terran.

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
::frowns and makes a few notes::

ACO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: moves to the chair at the head of the table and sits ::

ACO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
ALL: Federation Medical has been frantically looking for patient zero, but have come up with nothing thus far.

AOPS_Ltjg_Nalla_Thel says:
:: takes notes ::

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::needs no notes, having an excellent memory::

ACO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
CMO: Doctor, what are we likely to walk into once we arrive?

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
::clears his throat:: ACO: Sir, it is likely that the Viral hemorrhagic fever or VHF, might be airborne or even zoonotic, carried by either animals or... ::pauses:: humanoids

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
All: I would suggest the full complement of barrier nursing procedures, i.e. biological suits, for our safety

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::quietly watches and Listens::

ACO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: nods :: A wise precaution.

CEO_Cmdr_Quchant says:
::listens carefully::

AOPS_Ltjg_Nalla_Thel says:
:: listens and continues to tap at her padd ::

ACO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
CTO: Ensign Sek, I want security details standing by in case they are needed. We don't know the situation on the planet, but chances are that panic is planet-wide, and as such could cause havoc both with our mission and the medical personnel below.

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
ACO: Are you wanting localized riot control?

ACO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
CTO: That is a possibility. but I also want to be able to offer assistance to the planetary security force in case they are having difficulty controlling the population.

CIV_Capt_Jameson says:
::Is also continuing to take notes on the discussions::

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
ACO: Consider it done.

ACO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
ACSO: Lieutenant York, since Commander Wuer will be preoccupied with his new duties, you will take over the Science department. As a scientist, your input could prove both critical and helpful to the medical department. Report to Doctor Ro'kar and offer any assistance as necessary.

ACSO_Lt_York says:
ACO: Aye sir. ::feeling much more comfortable that Trelan was placed in command and nods::

ACO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
CMO: Doctor Ro'kar, you will oversee all medical operations. Since our mission is primarily humanitarian in nature, you will be taking point and serve as liasion to the medical personnel below.

AOPS_Ltjg_Nalla_Thel says:
:: finishes tapping at her padd and gets a far off look in her eye ::

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
::nods at the ACO command:: ACO: Aye, sir

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::sighs and feels like he's back in the Academy::

ACO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
CIV: Captain Jameson... :: looks a bit uncomfortably at her, adjusting in his seat ::

CIV_Capt_Jameson says:
::Looks up from her padd, with a serious expression on her face::

ACO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
CIV: Captain, I would like you to find out everything you can about the political structure and current happenings. We'll need to be in touch with their leaders, and I'd hate to offend them by smiling or something idiotic like that.

CIV_Capt_Jameson says:
::breaks into a smile at the last comment::  ACO: We wouldn't want you to do that...smile that is.

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
::takes out another PADD and copies information across::

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
ACSO: You'll need this, sir ::slides the information PADD across to York::

CEO_Cmdr_Quchant says:
::continues to make notes on his PADD::

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::not quite sure what exactly his role in this meeting is::

ACSO_Lt_York says:
::grabs the PADD and glances at it:: CMO: Thank you doctor.

AOPS_Ltjg_Nalla_Thel says:
:: rolls her eyes at Trelans attempt at humor ::

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
::nods::

ACO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
AOPS: Lieutenant Thel, I want you to coordinate all transporting of the medical supplies to the surface.

AOPS_Ltjg_Nalla_Thel says:
ACO:  Of course Sir.

ACO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: he begins looking around the room, his eyes falling on the CEO ::

ACO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
CEO: Mister Quchant, I have read over your service file and have decided that at this point, you are the best choice to act in the capacity of Second Officer.

CEO_Cmdr_Quchant says:
::nods::

ACO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
CEO: During our time at Orphal IV, your duties in Engineering should be minimal. However, your services may be needed in assisting Doctor Ro'kar with quarantine fields.

CEO_Cmdr_Quchant says:
ACO: ok

ACO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
ALL: This isn't going to be a cake walk, but Starfleet feels this is the best mission to keep us out of the news service eye at this point.

ACO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
ALL: Does anyone have anything further to add?

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::Frowns slightly::

AOPS_Ltjg_Nalla_Thel says:
:: thinks to herself   -  this is such a huge waste of time ::

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
::raises his hand::

ACO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
CMO: Yes, Doctor?

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::sits quietly at the back of the room::

ACSO_Lt_York says:
::starts preparing a task list for decontamination procedures::

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
ACO: Sir, I understand that this mission will not be as fascinating for all crewmembers, but I must urge that no one do anything stupid - the VHF is a very serious and deadly virus

CEO_Cmdr_Quchant says:
::thinks to himself, more damned paperwork::

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
ACO: So I cannot stress enough that people must avoid touch contact or interaction with any strange animals or humanoids

ACO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
CMO: Agreed. :: looks at the others :: ALL: I expect you all to impose on your departments the seriousness of this disease.

ACSO_Lt_York says:
ACO: I will be putting forth a proposal on your desk on decontamination procedures for all crewmembers.

AOPS_Ltjg_Nalla_Thel says:
:: sighs in exasperation, wondering when this damnable meeting will be over ::

ACO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
ACSO: Good. Get with the CEO so he can assign a team to assist you with those procedures.

ACSO_Lt_York says:
ACO: Aye sir.

ACO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: looks to the AOPS :: AOPS: You have something to add, Lieutenant? :: his voice stern ::

ACTION:  A giggle escapes from Nalla

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::observes the room from his position pretty much in the shadows::

CIV_Capt_Jameson says:
::Wonders how Karr is going to handle the new OPS::

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
::looks across the table to the AOPS curiously::

AOPS_Ltjg_Nalla_Thel says:
:: can't believe she couldn't hold back :: ACO:  No Sir...Sorry sir.

ACO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: eyes her for a long moment before continuing :: FCO: Commander Foster, place us in a geo-synchronous orbit over the main medical facility of Orphal IV and maintain all flight operations.

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::nods slowly and silently at the ACO from the back of the room::

ACO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
ALL: You have your orders. Dismissed.

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::gets up slowly, waiting for everyone else to clear out::

ACO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
CTO: Mister Sek, I would like you to stay for a moment.

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::nods:: ACO: I figured, sir.

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
::stands up slowly:: ACSO: Can I have a word with you, York? We can talk while we walk

CEO_Cmdr_Quchant says:
::gets up and leaves heading to engineering to work on an enhanced decontamination room

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::walks out of the conference room and straight to his post::

ACSO_Lt_York says:
::says bye to Rynia and turns to face the doctor:: CMO: Let's.

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
::walks out the room and waits for ACSO to catch up::

AOPS_Ltjg_Nalla_Thel says:
:: gets up and head out to her station ::

ACO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: as soon as everyone leaves, he waits for the doors to close :: Computer: Lock doors and disengage all recording devices, authorization Trelan Nine Zero Sigma Five.

CEO_Cmdr_Quchant says:
::draws up plans for bio-containment chambers on the padd as he walks::

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::drops out of warp and initiates procedures to put the ship into orbit::

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
ACSO: Sir, I wanted to make sure you had all the information that you needed to adequately protect the ship

ACO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
CTO: Have a seat, Ensign.

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::sits once more, maintaining eye contact with a blank expression::

ACO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
CTO: I assume that Admiral Xavier told you what's going on?

ACSO_Lt_York says:
CMO: We should sit and compare notes, I for one need to brush up on my medical history.

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
ACO: Yes, sir. I am to report to you my activities as an Intelligence Operative.

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::establishes a stable orbit and maneuvers into position::

ACO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: leans back in his seat :: CTO: What I want to know, Mister Sek, is what made you think you couldn't come to me in the first place?

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
::nods:: ACSO: I think that the bridge science station is closest, I can retrieve further notes from there ::walks towards the station::

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::maintains a neutral expression:: ACO: I was not ordered to report to you. At the time, I was to treat everyone on the ship as a possible suspect, including command staff.

ACSO_Lt_York says:
::follows him:: CMO: We should also convert one of my Science labs to act as command central. Where our two staff can work together.

Pres_Gadlad says:
@COM:Tal War:  Tal War this is Orphal IV please come in.

AOPS_Ltjg_Nalla_Thel says:
COM: Planet_OPS: This is the Tal War, we read you Orphal.

ACO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
CTO: Sek, I've read your file. You're good at your job. I respect that. But the next time you keep information from me, unless you give me a damn good reason, I promise you, things will not bode well for you. Intelligence or not. :: stands and begins pacing :: There's been a new development. One I think you need to be aware of.

Pres_Gadlad says:
@COM:Tal War:  I'm President Gadlad, please tell me you have the medicine.

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
ACO: Is it about Telgar and Henderson?

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
ACSO: Lead the way, sir ::smiles softly and hesitates::

ACO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
CTO: It is.

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
ACO: I already know.

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
ACSO: I wanted to also say that Wuer will be fine... in time... he has been through a lot

AOPS_Ltjg_Nalla_Thel says:
COM: President Gadlad:  Yes President, we have the medication.  One moment while I inform my .....superior.

ACSO_Lt_York says:
::steps over to the Science station and sits down:: CMO: We'll look into that later, for now please access your medical database and .... get me up to date. ::smiles::

ACO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: turns back to Sek, raising an eyebrow :: CTO: You do, eh? Kind of funny that I just found out not more than an hour ago.

CIV_Capt_Jameson says:
::Is on the bridge, to one side, listening to the interaction with the planet::

ACSO_Lt_York says:
::not caring one thing about Wuer::

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
ACO: With all due respect, Commander, I'm an intelligence operative...

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
::signs on and configures the console so it displays medical data:: ACSO: I have brought up all the data we have on previous versions of VHF strains

AOPS_Ltjg_Nalla_Thel says:
CIV:  Captain Jameson, the Planet President is calling.

ACO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
CTO: Alright. Any theories?

CIV_Capt_Jameson says:
::Looks around her, and wonders whether she should get involved considering the circumstances of her removal::

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
ACO: On this particular occurrence, no, except that I don't believe Commander Telgar is dead. I'm focusing most of my attention on the few leads aboard the ship.

CIV_Capt_Jameson says:
::Sighs, and gives in to the inevitable.  She moves to the front of the bridge::  AOPS: Put it through then

CEO_Cmdr_Quchant says:
::at his desk designating areas by sickbay and the various entry points on the ship as bio-containment areas::

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
CIV: I've established a geo-stationary orbit over the capital, Cap'n.

ACSO_Lt_York says:
CMO: Alright, and have we any idea which strand we are dealing with?

ACO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
CTO: Good. I suspect that now that the true culprit thinks that we have focused everything on Telgar, they'll get a bit lax.

CIV_Capt_Jameson says:
FCO: Acknowledged

AOPS_Ltjg_Nalla_Thel says:
:: nods and puts the transmission on the forward screen ::  COM: Pres Gadlad: Go ahead President.

CEO_Cmdr_Quchant says:
*OPS*: I'm sending you a list of areas by various entry points on the ship that I need cleared.  These are to be the new bio-containment areas.  You'll find one of the rooms is the CTO quarters.  You can break the news

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
ACO: Sir, they were lax when they started murdering members of this crew.

ACO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
CTO: I want a full report from you, Ensign, including all the suspects we have aboard. Their access to certain areas needs to be limited.

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
ACO: Aye, sir.

AOPS_Ltjg_Nalla_Thel says:
*CEO* Understood Sir.

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
ACSO: I believe that it is a strain of the Ebola virus... that might have mutated ::brings up the details of the virus::

ACO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
CTO: We'll discuss more later. Dismissed.

ACSO_Lt_York says:
CMO: That.....is not good. The people down there must be terrified.

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::nods and stands, turning from the commander, already plotting...::

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::turns his attention to the fighter crews and the results of their last evaluations::

Pres_Pres_Gadlad says:
@COM:Tal War:  Anybody there?

ACO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: waits for a long moment, then follows Sek out onto the bridge, seeing a face on the screen ::

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
ACSO: And here are the best practices as to how to deal with the strain, I suggest we get started on modifying these procedures

CIV_Capt_Jameson says:
@COM: Pres_Gadland: I am Captain Jameson, we have come with supplies to help assist you

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::Takes over at tactical, sending text orders for his second in command to get a bead on the civil situation on the planet::

ACO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: looks first at Jameson, then Thel, before refocusing his attention on the screen ::

Pres_Pres_Gadlad says:
@COM:Tal War:  Thank you thank you... The quarantine camps are so overcrowded.  We've had several breakouts and...  ::Exasperated::  Things are a mess!!
