OPS_Brehgorn says:
CO: No response as of yet,  Captain.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Begins scanning the system for anything that will cause a communications breakdown.:: CO: Everything at the station appears to be normal. I will scan for any disturbances

Host CO_Winters says:
Ops: If we attached a string and tin cup to a probe and shot it at them do you think we could get some communications? :: shakes head ::

Host CO_Winters says:
CSO: Any speculation?

Host CO_Winters says:
CEO: Could the same thing that is affecting the station be affecting us?

CIV_Knote says:
::Chuckles at CO's comments::

CIV_Knote says:
CO: We're here, dropping to impulse.

OPS_Brehgorn says:
CO: Negative, sir.

Host CO_Winters says:

CSO_Nash says:
CO: Sir I have just began scanning I will let you know when something presents itself.

CEO_Keorn says:
CO: Unknown until we know more about what is affecting the station

CIV_Knote says:
::Drops Triton to impulse and looks for a place to dock::

Host CO_Winters says:

Host CO_Winters says:
All: Interesting.

CIV_Knote says:
::Hears station comm, not amused::

OPS_Brehgorn says:
CO: We are receiving a scattered signal, captain.

Host CO_Winters says:
Civ: I think an orbit would be in order.

CEO_Keorn says:

CSO_Nash says:
CO: Sir the scans have returned. I am getting nothing but the normal subspace background noise. :: puzzled at why we can't make contact:::

OPS_Brehgorn says:
CSO: I recommend we scan for Pakled ships.

CIV_Knote says:
CO: Acknowledged sir.  Holding an orbit at 7,000kms.

CSO_Nash says:
OPS: Aye. Scanning now

CSO_Nash says:

CEO_Keorn says:
@*CO* Sir we have arrived on the station no sign of any problems

CSO_Nash says:
@CO: Sir everything appears normal so far

CIV_Knote says:
*CSO* Noted.

CTO_Yohanson says:

Host CO_Winters says:
Civ: Good.

Host Capt_Jarins says:
<Computer> @ CEO: Captain Jarins is located in Main Operations. ::odd beeps and whirrs::

Host CO_Winters says:
Civ: Any signs of warp trails?

CIV_Knote says:
::looks at the small screens on console since he is watching so much data::

CEO_Keorn says:

Aloud: Aw sh....!

CEO_Keorn says:
@::Holds hand out to his side:: CO: We are from the USS Triton, I am Lt Keorn

Host CO_Winters says:

CIV_Knote says:
::Fingers begin to randomly punch buttons:: CO: Uh, naw, nothing important skipper.

CTO_Yohanson says:
@Jarins: I am Ens. Yohanson.

CIV_Knote says:
::Console lights back up::

OPS_Brehgorn says:
CO: I believe the AT has established communications with a member of the spacedock's crew.

CSO_Nash says:
@ Jarins: I am Lt. Nash CSO of the Triton

CEO_Keorn says:
@*CO* Sir we have arrived at Main Ops and have made contact with the stations CO

CIV_Knote says:
CO: Nope, can't tell who that last ship was.

Host Capt_Jarins says:
@ ::raises eyebrow:: Triton... Time-to-Clean.. ::shrugs and shakes hand:: CEO: I'm Captain Jarins. Welcome aboard, I think. It's odd. Things look like they're working, but they aren't. Commas, the doors, even power. I rea... ::holds nose... suddenly lets loose a HUGE sneeze::

Host CO_Winters says:
*CEO* Good. Find out when all this stuff started to happen.

CTO_Yohanson says:
@CO: Bless you.

CEO_Keorn says:
@Capt: We have been out of communications with the station for some time and were dispatched to find out what is wrong

CIV_Knote says:
Self: Whew.  ::Leans over console and tries to make heads or tails of the data::

OPS_Brehgorn says:
::researches data on the spacedock’s crew::

CEO_Keorn says:
@Capt: When did things start to be noticeably wrong?

Host Capt_Jarins says:
@ CEO: I really don't know what's wrong. My engineers say it's fine, but it's not. It's... really... ::heave... SNEEZE::

Host Capt_Jarins says:
@ ::sniffles:: CEO: About a week ago.

CTO_Yohanson says:
@Capt: Bless you.

CEO_Keorn says:
@::looks to CSO:: CSO any sign of what he is suffering from?

Host CO_Winters says:
*CEO* There is a warp trail leaving the system that left the system a week ago.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Scans the atmosphere of the station for the cause of the station CO's cause of distress::

Host CO_Winters says:
*CEO* Ask the CO what type of ship it was.

CEO_Keorn says:
@*CO* Aye sir

CSO_Nash says:
:: Runs a scan of Jarins::

CSO_Nash says:
<edit @>

CEO_Keorn says:
@Capt:  What type of vessel was it that was here last

Host Capt_Jarins says:
@ ::looks at the CEO, then his console... grimaces:: Computer, identify... ::sighs:: identify dustmite 12.

CSO_Nash says:
@ CEO: It appears he is suffering an allergic reaction to something in the air.

CEO_Keorn says:
@::looks at Capt:: Capt: Dustmite 12??

CIV_Knote says:
::Frowns and then his face brightens:: CO: hey, guess what...that trail leads to Packed space.

Host Capt_Jarins says:
@ ::shrugs to the Triton AT:: All: The computer seems to be the center of it all. It won't accept anything if it's not in some analogous form to something with dust.

CSO_Nash says:
@ :: Scans the enumerated dustmite::

Host CO_Winters says:
Civ: Of course. They had to have something to do with it.

CTO_Yohanson says:
@Self: Insane, he's just insane.

CEO_Keorn says:
@*CO* Sir we may have a small problem here, there are signs of an air borne agent I am having the CSO take a sample for transport and analyses

Host Capt_Jarins says:
<Computer> @ Capt: Dustmite 12 is a Pack-And-Go freightcar.

CEO_Keorn says:
@CSO: take a sample and ready it for transport

CEO_Keorn says:
@Capt: I see and Pack and Go freight car is a Pakled vessel?

Host CO_Winters says:
Ops: Prepare an isolation bay in sickbay.

CSO_Nash says:
@ CEO: I have just scanned these dustmites for want of a better term appear to be a life form::

CSO_Nash says:
@ CEO: Aye sir

Host CO_Winters says:
*CEO* Scan the away team, get into bio hazard suit right away.

CIV_Knote says:
::Checks warp signature against data on file::

CEO_Keorn says:
@*CO* Aye sir

Host Capt_Jarins says:
@ CEO: More or less...

OPS_Brehgorn says:
Aye sir  ::prepares an isolation bay and monitors communications:: CO:  I believe the Commanding Officer of the spacedock::

CSO_Nash says:
@ :: obtains a sample::

OPS_Brehgorn says:
<edit after communications>

CEO_Keorn says:
@::Scans team for infection:: *Chief* Beam over 3 biohazard suits

CIV_Knote says:
Self: This shouldn't take long...how many bloody ships can there be like this?

Host CO_Winters says:
*CEO* That is most likely the cause of the problems. Have the CSO find a way to communicate with them

CEO_Keorn says:
@*CO* aye sir

CEO_Keorn says:
@CSO: Any apparent way to communicate with the "dustmites"

CIV_Knote says:
CO: Skipper, that warp signature matches a type of Pakled freighter.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Begins running any impulses coming from the dustmite through his tricorder trying to find a way to communicate::

Host CO_Winters says:
Civ: Launch a probe to follow the warp trail.

CTO_Yohanson says:
@ ::starts drumming fingers::

CEO_Keorn says:
@*CO* Sir it is confirmed that the last vessel to dock was a Pakled freighter

CIV_Knote says:
::Looks at CO with a smirk:: CO: Right. ::chuckles::

Host CO_Winters says:
*CEO* No doubt they thought they could find "something to make them bloody well go".

CEO_Keorn says:
@::Suits materialize and AT gets into the suits and purges the interior::

CSO_Nash says:
@ :: Starts receiving odd pulses of Electro-static energy that start to form a pattern::

CIV_Knote says:
::Brings up the probe inventory, selects a class V reconnaissance and launches::

CSO_Nash says:
@ *CIV*: Run this pattern through the universal translator and let me know what you come up with. :: sends the reading to the CIV's station::

CIV_Knote says:
CO: Class V probe launched.

Host CO_Winters says:
Civ: Let me know when it finds anything significant.

CIV_Knote says:
*CSO* Acknowledged.  ::downloads the data and waits::

CIV_Knote says:
::Mutters to self:: About time we got some help up here.

CEO_Keorn says:
@Capt: Have you tried to communicate with the insects, or contact the vessel?

CIV_Knote says:
::Nods to CO::

CIV_Knote says:
::Watching the science officer's down load, notices the feed back from the probe:: Self: Oh great.

Host Capt_Jarins says:
@ ::shakes head:: CEO: We tried to the vessel, but nothing's getting out except a blank carrier. But... what insects?

CEO_Keorn says:
@::Shows Capt the readings on the tricorder::

CIV_Knote says:
CO: Skipper, the probe is passing through a nebula while following that ship.

Host CO_Winters says:
Civ: I am willing to bet that warp trail doesn't come out the other end.

Host Capt_Jarins says:
@ Interesting... But I have no idea where to begin to look. All our sensors say there's nothing here

CEO_Keorn says:
@Capt: Maybe the computer is the key

CTO_Yohanson says:
@~~~~ Insects: If you can understand me, please telepathically say yes ~~~~

CEO_Keorn says:
@CSO: What is the chance that we could use the infected computer to communicate with the insects?

CSO_Nash says:
@ CEO: I believe that is a great idea. I believe that they might be like nanites

CEO_Keorn says:
@CSO: Give it a try, if you need any help let me know

CSO_Nash says:
@CEO: Aye sir

Host CO_Winters says:
Civ: Can the probe detect anything in the nebula?

CTO_Yohanson says:
@ ::gives up on telepathic communication with the lifeforms::

CEO_Keorn says:
@*CO* Sir we are trying to use the "infected" computer to communicate with the life forms

CSO_Nash says:
@:: begins using varying frequencies to contact the lifeforms, including some used in his course of nano-technology studies::

CIV_Knote says:
CO: Nothing special...standard stuff. :: ::Looks at data and really wishes he know what is was::

OPS_Brehgorn says:
::begins emitting various insect mating calls in patterns of prime numbers::

CIV_Knote says:
CO: Uh looks like some debris, parts of something.

Host CO_Winters says:
:: gets up and walks to the tactical station next to the civilian and starts looking at the data ::

Host Capt_Jarins says:
ACTION: Station computer endlessly returns various error beeps.

OPS_Brehgorn says:
::discontinues transmissions::

CSO_Nash says:
@ CEO: Nothing but error beeps, I'll use another track

Host CO_Winters says:
Civ: Perhaps the nebula is scattering the sensor beam and making this look like parts of a ship.

CIV_Knote says:
OPS: How about you check that down load and see if it has given us anything.

CEO_Keorn says:
@CSO: ok, if you need to route it through the Triton computer use your com badge to route it through

OPS_Brehgorn says:
::checks the downloaded data::

CIV_Knote says:
:: Looks up at Winters:: CO: Cool, it could do that?

Host Capt_Jarins says:
<Station Computer> @ ::beeps, and displays various "mud-puddles and grass stains" having allergic reactions on the same deck as the main computer core::

Host CO_Winters says:
*CEO* We are going to set course for a nebula the Pakled warp trail went through.

Host CO_Winters says:
Civ: Perhaps...

CIV_Knote says:
::Looking at Winters:: CO: What and leave the AT here? You nuts or something?

CEO_Keorn says:
@*CO* Aye sir, we should be fine here until you return

Host CO_Winters says:
Civ: Uh no, they should be safe here.

Host CO_Winters says:
:: accesses the helm from the current console and sets course to the nebula ::

CSO_Nash says:
@ *Triton Computer*: Please run these readings through the sensor pod

CIV_Knote says:
::Shrugs:: CO: yeah right.  Remind me not to go on any away teams and leave you up here.

CIV_Knote says:
::Sends the course heading to the helm that corresponds to the probe's path::

Host CO_Winters says:
Civ: I would appreciate it if you would not question my decisions.

CEO_Keorn says:
@::Looks at dust layer over the consoles and wonders what they could have found::

CIV_Knote says:
CO: Should be in nebula in 3 minutes at warp 8.7.

Host CO_Winters says:
Civ: Good.
