Vesuvius Mission 10104.24

CSO Trelan says:
The Vesuvius has been dispatched to deliver medical supplies to a colony near the Neutral Zone. The supplies in question are slated for use in research trials, and their arrival, while anticipated, is not critical to survival.

CSO Trelan says:
All department heads will report to the Executive Officer when all personnel have reported back to the ship. Commander Kelson will also handle the departure of the Vesuvius from Space Dock.

CSO Trelan says:
Flight Control will chart the course to the colony. Our speed shall not exceed warp 5. Tactical will monitor the Neutral Zone for any activity. Operations will make available a cargo bay for the transport of the medical supplies and the medical department will oversee their arrival and delivery.

XO Kelson says:
:: Walks onto the bridge ::

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Sees Sam enter the bridge::      XO:  Commander.

OPS Brehgorn says:
Station OPS CPO:  That looks like the last of the supplies...thanks for your help.

CO Royce says:
:: Pulls hair up and out of the way ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Exits as the turbolift deposits him on the bridge ::

XO Kelson says:
CTO: Dathan.  :: Nods ::

FCO Lane says:
XO: Sir, helm ready for undocking procedures.

CTO Wakefield says:
XO:  All tactical systems unlocked and ready for action.

XO Kelson says:
FCO: Take us out, Ensign.

CSO Trelan says:
:: Steps to SCI I and punches at controls ::

CO Royce says:
*OPS* Are all the supplies loaded and accounted for?

OPS Brehgorn says:
*CO* Affirmative, Captain.

CSO Trelan says:
XO: All sensors online. Deflector array at maximum capacity.

FCO Lane says:
XO: Sir, unlocking docking clamps, all mooring beams released.

XO Kelson says:
FCO: When we are clear of the dock, 1/4 impulse until you've cleared the station.

FCO Lane says:
OPS: Do we have clearance?

CO Royce says:
*OPS* I'd like to see the manifest...if you could bring it to my quarters?

OPS Brehgorn says:
*Station OPS*:  Request clearance to depart.

FCO Lane says:
XO: Aye sir, 1/4 impulse after clearance

XO Kelson says:
OPS: Thank you, Brehgorn.

Host Station OPS says:
*Vesuvius* Clearance granted. Off with you already.

FCO Lane says:
XO: Bringing thrusters on line.

OPS Brehgorn says:
*XO* Clearance to depart has been granted.

OPS Brehgorn says:
*CO* Standby, Captain...I will come to your quarters when the manifest is complete.  ::works away::

XO Kelson says:
OPS: Be sure to send something to brighten up the Station Operations officer's day next time we are "in town".  :: Smiles ::

FCO Lane says:
:: Engages forward thrusters to space doors ::

CO Royce says:
*OPS* Acknowledged.  Thank you.

CO Royce says:
:: Sits back and continues to read her messages ::

OPS Brehgorn says:
*XO* Understood, sir.

XO Kelson says:
*CO*Departing now, Captain.

FCO Lane says:
:: Watches as the space doors open ::

OPS Brehgorn says:
:: Prepares manifest and heads for the turbolift ::

CO Royce says:
*XO* Thank you, Sam.

CSO Trelan says:
:: Checks all readouts ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Sits in the "big" chair::

Host Tiffany says:
ACTION: Time folds, and the Vesuvius is now three hours into its journey...and they're picking up something peculiar on the sensors.

CTO Wakefield says:
XO:  I've got something on long-range sensors Commander...

OPS Brehgorn says:
:: Rings the chimes at the CO's door ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Hears sensors go off at console nearby ::

CO Royce says:
:: At the door ::   Enter.

FCO Lane says:
XO: Maintaining course and heading 246.12 warp 5, sir.

XO Kelson says:
CTO: What is it, Dathan?

CTO Wakefield says:
XO:  A small vessel, looks like it’s leaking something off into space.

XO Kelson says:
FCO: Steady as she goes, Ensign.

CTO Wakefield says:
CSO:  Can you tell what that substance is Dru?

OPS Brehgorn says:
:: Walks into CO's quarters::  CO: Captain, here is the manifest, as you requested.  :: Hands the inventory to the CO ::

XO Kelson says:
CTO: How close?

FCO Lane says:
:: Smiles over at the XO::  XO: Aye sir.

CSO Trelan says:
:: Punches controls ::

CO Royce says:
:: Takes the manifest ::   OPS:  Thank you, Kujo.   :: Looks it over quickly ::

OPS Brehgorn says:
:: Standing at attention ::

CSO Trelan says:
CTO: It seems to be a substance used for medicinal purposes.

CO Royce says:
:: Nods as she reads the manifest ::   OPS:  You can relax, please.

CSO Trelan says:
CTO: But is also used for making biological weapons.

OPS Brehgorn says:
CO: Yes, ma'am.  :: Relaxes to parade position ::

CTO Wakefield says:
XO:  It's a small ship Commander, half a light year out.  Registered under the name Elora.

CTO Wakefield says:
XO:  It's a very small ship.  One lifesign aboard.

XO Kelson says:
CSO: Is it hazardous for us to close in?

CO Royce says:
:: Hands the manifest back to OPS ::   OPS :  Thank you, Kujo.  I appreciate your bringing it to me.  You may leave now.

FCO Lane says:
XO: Shall I plot an intercept course sir?

CSO Trelan says:
:: Checks the current manifest ::

Host Tiffany says:
ACTION: The Elora begins to lost attitude control, and it is obvious that the ship has taken severe damage.

OPS Brehgorn says:
CO:  Thank you, Captain.  :: Heads for the door ::

CSO Trelan says:
XO: Sir, it's one of the same substances we have onboard.

XO Kelson says:
CTO: Get a lock on that lifesign as soon as we are in range.

CTO Wakefield says:
XO:  Commander, the ship has suffered severe damage, I can't tell from what yet.

CTO Wakefield says:
XO:  Aye.

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Access transporters and locks onto lifesign ::

OPS Brehgorn says:
:: Enters bridge and assumes the OPS Station ::

FCO Lane says:
:: Plots the intercept course just in case ::

XO Kelson says:
FCO: Lane, take us in closer so we can get a better look and make sure we can grab the passenger if necessary.

CSO Trelan says:
XO: Depends on what else they have on board. Running a scan.

Host Tiffany says:
ACTION: Before long, the ship begins losing power.

CTO Wakefield says:
XO:  I recommend we beam him or her into a containment field until we're sure there's no danger of contamination.

FCO Lane says:
:: Her finger hovers over the button ::

CTO Wakefield says:
XO:  The Elora is beginning to lose power.

CO Royce says:
:: Gets up and leaves her quarters enroute sickbay ::

CTO Wakefield says:
::sets up containment field in sickbay::

XO Kelson says:
CTO: Get her onboard, Dathan.  Proceed with containment field.

FCO Lane says:
XO: Already laid in sir, moving to intercept.

CO Royce says:
:: Enters turbolift ::  Computer:  Deck 12

CTO Wakefield XO:  Aye.  Transporting her into the containment field...now. (TRANSPRT.wav)

CSO Trelan says:
XO: Sir, I recommend caution. Alone, what is in the cargo hold is not dangerous, but combined...well, let's say we'd be in big trouble.

CO Royce says:
:: Exits turbolift ::

CTO Wakefield says:
XO:  I've got her Commander.

CTO Wakefield says:
XO:  Suggest we back off from the ship and raise shields, just in case.

XO Kelson says:
CTO: Very good….  :: Thinks about name of ship ::

XO Kelson says:
CTO: Make it so...

CO Royce says:
:: Enters sickbay and sees a female in containment field ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Sudden realization ::

Host Mirion Naylor says:
:: Turns towards the captain::  Royce: I never thought I'd be so happy to see a Starfleet vessel.

CTO Wakefield says:
XO:  Aye.  FCO:  Back off to 100,000 kilometers.  XO:  Shields up.  :: Raises shields ::

FCO Lane says:
XO: Sir shall I have a tractor beam tow the Elora?

CO Royce says:
Naylor:  What happened to your ship?

CO Royce says:
:: Aware of movements in sickbay of the other doctors ::

XO Kelson says:
FCO: Since we are in no hurry, let's put down here for a while and see what's what.

FCO Lane says:
CTO: Moving away 100,000 km...and holding.

Host Mirion Naylor says:
:: She looks pretty beat up, as if she had been tossed around the cockpit of her ship::  Royce: I was attacked by a cloaked ship, but I've got some ideas on who did what.

FCO Lane says:
XO: Aye sir.

XO Kelson says:
*CO* Captain?  How is our guest?

Host Mirion Naylor says:
ACTION: Another vessel shows up on sensors. It appears to be cloaked, sort of.

CO Royce says:
*XO* Alive.

CTO Wakefield says:
XO:  Another vessel just appeared on my screens.

CO Royce says:
Naylor:  Cloaked ship?  Who do you think did this?

CTO Wakefield says:
XO:  It's cloaked, kind of...

XO Kelson says:
:: Worried expression ::

CSO Trelan says:
XO: Running scans of the other vessel for possible dangers.

CTO Wakefield says:
CSO:  Dru?

CSO Trelan says:
CTO: Checking....

CTO Wakefield says:
XO/CSO:  It looks like a very old and primitive cloaking device.

OPS Brehgorn says:
XO: Shall I hail the vessel, sir?

CO Royce says:
:: Looks closer at Naylor ::  Naylor:  You look very familiar.  Have we met?

XO Kelson says:
FCO: Try to stay between the new vessel and the damaged one.

FCO Lane says:
:: Maneuvers the ship away from the Elora ::

CSO Trelan says:
XO: I would say one that is about 150 years old. The kind used on Romulan vessels.

XO Kelson says:
OPS: Open a frequency...

CSO Trelan says:
XO: Seems to be using a lot of power.

CTO Wakefield says:
XO:  If necessary, we can reinforce the Elora by altering the structural integrity fields.

FCO Lane says:
:: Runs a sensor sweep for any other vessels ::

OPS Brehgorn says:
:: Opens comm channel::   XO: Channel open, sir.

XO Kelson says:
COM: This is the USS Vesuvius.  You are in Federation space.  Identify yourself.

OPS Brehgorn says:
:: Monitors ship systems to make sure weapons and shields have ample power ::

Host Mirion Naylor says:
Royce: We may have, but I'm not certain.

Host Mirion Naylor says:
ACTION: The other vessel doesn't respond, and in fact sets course away from the Vesuvius.

CO Royce says:
:: Nods ::   Naylor:  Tell me who you think did this.

CTO Wakefield says:
XO:  She's moving away.

OPS Brehgorn says:
XO: Sir, the vessel is retreating.

Host Mirion Naylor says:
Royce: Wait...this is the Vesuvius, isn't it? Is there a Commander Kelson on board?

XO Kelson says:
CTO: Guess we scared it off.

CTO Wakefield says:
XO:  She may not know we can see her.

FCO Lane says:
:: Looks over at Kelson::   XO: Shall I pursue?

Host Mirion Naylor says:
Royce: Honestly, I think it's the Orion Syndicate.

XO Kelson says:
FCO: Negative.

CO Royce says:
:: Looks to Naylor ::   Naylor:  Yes, this is the Vesuvius.  How do you know my Executive Officer?

CSO Trelan says:
XO: No indication that she does. Its weapons are comparable to our own.

OPS Brehgorn says:
:: Monitors ship movements ::

Host Mirion Naylor says:
Royce: We've had dinner a few times.

CTO Wakefield says:
CSO:  Dru, can you scan through that cloak, tell what class of ship that is?

XO Kelson says:
CTO: Dathan, keep a lookout for any other surprises.

CSO Trelan says:
CTO: Scanning....

CO Royce says:
:: Smiles ::   Naylor:  I see.  Can you tell me who or what is the Orion Syndicate?

CTO Wakefield says:
XO:  Aye.

Host Mirion Naylor says:
:: Naylor seems very calm in spite of her unnerving situation ::

FCO Lane says:
XO: No signs of any other ship traffic in the area sir.

XO Kelson says:
CSO: How's the injured ship? Can we salvage her?

Host Mirion Naylor says:
:: Her jaw drops ::  Royce: You're not familiar with the Syndicate?

CO Royce says:
:: Looks to Dr. Han, who is nodding positively ::

CO Royce says:
Naylor:  No, I'm afraid I've never heard of them.

XO Kelson says:
FCO: Thank you Ensign.

CSO Trelan says:
XO: There is quite a bit of structural damage, but with a little work, I'm sure our CEO could patch her up.

CTO Wakefield says:
XO: I believe we can stabilize the Elora by reinforcing her structural integrity fields.

Host Mirion Naylor says:
Han: Am I clean, then?

CSO Trelan says:
CTO/XO: The vessel is of Ferengi design. Scans show it has been retrofitted for...other purposes.

CO Royce says:
<Han>Naylor: Yes, you're fine. :: Pushes a few buttons...the containment field comes down ::

CO Royce says:
:: Moves closer to Naylor ::  Naylor:  Tell me about the Syndicate.

FCO Lane says:
:: Monitors her sensors ::

CTO Wakefield says:
XO/CSO:  I've dealt with the Orion Syndicate a great deal while on the Gryphon.  They had a habit of using modified Ferengi vessels

Host Mirion Naylor says:
:: Takes a deep breath ::   Royce: The Syndicate is an...organization.  I'd say it's a modern day version of the Mob, but that's such a general description.

CSO Trelan says:
Self:  Orion Syndicate...Just great.

XO Kelson says:
*CO* Captain, do we have clearance to board Mirion's...I mean, Capt. Naylor's ship to start repairs?

CO Royce says:
Naylor:  My crew can make repairs to your ship...with your permission.

XO Kelson says:
CTO: The Orion Syndicate, eh?  :: Frowns ::

Host Mirion Naylor says:
Royce: Certainly.

CO Royce says:
*XO* Clearance is granted.  But keep a lock on them.

CSO Trelan says:
XO: Sir...

XO Kelson says:
CSO: Yes, Dru?

FCO Lane says:
:: Plays with the fuzzy dice on her console ::

XO Kelson says:
*CO* Right away, Captain.

CSO Trelan says:
XO: With the absence of our CEO, I am probably the most qualified to lead the mission. I minored in Subspace Mechanics at the Academy.

XO Kelson says:
CSO: You read my mind, Dru! :: Smiles ::

CSO Trelan says:
XO: Permission to assemble a team from Engineering?

Host Mirion Naylor says:
Royce: They tend to intimidate those who either won't play along or bow down. I prefer my independence...and sometimes that causes problems.

XO Kelson says:
CSO: Permission granted.  But I'll lead the away team.  I have some interest in this ship.

CSO Trelan says:
XO: Aye, sir.

XO Kelson says:
CSO: I'll meet you in Transporter Room 1 in 5 minutes.

CO Royce says:
:: Nods ::   Naylor:  Why won't you play along with them?  Are you a trader?   :: Looks at her clothing ::

XO Kelson says:
CTO: Dathan, you have the bridge.

CTO Wakefield says:
XO:  Aye.

XO Kelson says:
:: Leaves to turbolift ::

XO Kelson says:
Computer: Sickbay.

XO Kelson says:
:: Exits turbolift ::

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Nods to TO on duty, then walks around to the Captain's chair ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: taps commbadge :: *Engineering* Trelan to Engineering. Lt. Frost and Greve, assemble two three man teams and report to transporter room 1.

XO Kelson says:
:: Enters Sickbay ::

CSO Trelan says:
XO: Aye.

XO Kelson says:
:: Sees Mirion ::

Host Mirion Naylor says:
Royce: Let's just say I have some problems with their ideology. I am a businesswoman...I cover a lot of ground under that heading.

CO Royce says:
:: Sees Sam ::

CTO Wakefield says:
OPS:  Lieutenant.  Would please run another intensive scan of the Elora before our team beams over there?

XO Kelson says:
CO: Captain...

Host Mirion Naylor says:
:: Smiles when she sees Sam::   Kelson: Not exactly where I was wanting to run into you again, but I'll take it.

CO Royce says:
:: Smiles at Naylor ::   XO:  She told me you know each other.

CO Royce says:
:: Looks at Sam ::

XO Kelson says:
Mirion: We do have a knack, don't we?

OPS Brehgorn says:
CTO: Of course.  :: Runs scan of the Elora...notices a surplus of supplies and concentrates scans in that area::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Enters turbolift :: Transporter room 1.

Host Mirion Naylor says:
Kelson: How's my ship? I'm surprised it wasn't blown out from underneath me.

XO Kelson says:
CO: Yes...we are...kindred spirits you might say.  :: Smiles ::

CO Royce says:
Naylor:  I'm still curious as to why you would be attacked?  Are you transporting anything right now?  :: Looks to Sam ::

FCO Lane says:
:: Whacks the dice so hard they go flying across the floor ::

XO Kelson says:
Mirion: We are sure we can rebuild her.  We have the technology.

CSO Trelan says:
:: Enters the transporter room and notices the engineering teams ::

FCO Lane says:
:: Checks to see that no one is watching and goes to retrieve them ::

CTO Wakefield says:
FCO:  Ensign Lane.  :: In obvious reference to the dice ::  Now is not the time.

OPS Brehgorn says:
*XO* Sir, standby.

Host Mirion Naylor says:
Royce: I've got a load of medical supplies...but nothing out of the ordinary.

FCO Lane says:
:: Sits again ::  CTO: Sorry sir, they just got away from me.

XO Kelson says:
CO: I must run.  I hope to talk to you soon, Capt. Naylor?

OPS Brehgorn says:
*XO* This is most curious.  The Elora has stolen many of our supplies that we stocked from the station.

XO Kelson says:
:: Turns to leave ::

Host Mirion Naylor says:
Kelson: Certainly.

CO Royce says:
Naylor:  Do you have the manifest?   :: Nods to XO ::

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Nods to FCO ::

XO Kelson says:
*CSO* On my way, Dru.

XO Kelson says:
:: Enters transporter room one ::

CSO Trelan says:
Frost/Greve: You have the equipment necessary? Did you bring a portable field generator to seal the breach?

CSO Trelan says:
*XO* Acknowledged.

FCO Lane says:
:: Tries to cover her embarrassment by smiling ::

CSO Trelan says:
<Frost> CSO: Yes sir.

Host Mirion Naylor says:
:: Grabs it out of her tunic ::  Royce: It never hurts to keep your manifest close to your heart....for insurance purposes.

XO Kelson says:
CSO: No need for environmental suits?

Host Mirion Naylor says:
:: Hands it over ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Steps onto transporter pad ::

OPS Brehgorn says:
*CO* Captain.  I have something...unusual…to inform you of.

CSO Trelan says:
XO: No, sir. I figure if we beam onto the bridge, we can get the internal controls working.

CO Royce says:
:: Takes the manifest from Naylor, looking it over ::    Naylor:  I see you are carrying the same supplies we just loaded...

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Flips open arm of Command chair and accesses sensors, scans area for other ships, and for the intruder detected earlier ::

CSO Trelan says:
XO: We have a portable generator, just in case.

CO Royce says:
:: Looks to Naylor ::   Naylor:  Excuse me a moment...   :: Walks away from the examination table ::

XO Kelson says:
CSO: Alright.  Let's go!  :: Smiles ::

Host Mirion Naylor says:
Royce: The *same* supplies? Are you sure it isn't a similar list?

CSO Trelan says:
:: Joins the teams on the pad ::

CO Royce says:
:: Quietly :: *OPS*  Yes, Kujo.

XO Kelson says:
Transporter chief: Energize.

OPS Brehgorn says:
*CO* It seems that the Elora has...well, for lack of a better word, plundered our supplies that we stocked from the station.

XO Kelson ::repair team beams to Naylor's ship:: (Transporter.wav)

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Overhears OPS ::  Self: Wha???

CO Royce says:
:: Looks over her shoulder ::    OPS:  Thank you, Kujo.

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Walks over to OPS station and puts his foot up on the console support, leaning over to look at his panel ::

OPS Brehgorn says:
:: Shows the CTO his readings ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Takes a look at bridge surroundings ::

CO Royce says:
:: Moves back towards Naylor ::  Naylor:  Actually, I wasn't going to be so bold, but since you mentioned it...yes, it is.

CTO Wakefield says:
OPS:  I thought you confirmed that those supplies were aboard when we left Avalon Station?

XO Kelson says:
@COM*CO* We are aboard the vessel, Ma'am.

CO Royce says:
:: Looks again to the manifest ::

OPS Brehgorn says:
CTO:  Yes...those supplies were confirmed.  I will check our stock again, though, to make sure.

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Nods to OPS ::

OPS Brehgorn says:
:: Heads to Cargo Bay 4 ::

CO Royce says:
Naylor:  How did you get the same, exact supplies?

CSO Trelan says:
@Frost: Get those internal sensors working. Greve, get to engineering and get those emergency force fields working.

Host Mirion Naylor says:
Royce: You aren't thinking what I think you're thinking....

FCO Lane says:
:: Makes a slight alteration to their course ::

CO Royce says:
Naylor:  You tell me....

CTO Wakefield says:
FCO:  Miss Lane, begin checking sensor records since we left the station.  Look for anything that might indicate those supplies were beamed off, radiation, energy surges, anything at all.

OPS Brehgorn says:
:: Enters the Cargo Bay and runs an inventory check ::

FCO Lane says:
CTO: Right away sir.

XO Kelson says:
@CSO: Any timetable on repairs, Dru?

FCO Lane says:
:: Begins her checking her sensor logs ::

CSO Trelan says:
@<Frost/Greve> CSO: Aye, sir. :: Scurries off and busily begins repairs ::

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Goes back to Command chair and accesses security ::

CO Royce says:
Naylor:  If I know my crew, and I believe I do...they are checking our cargo...

Host Mirion Naylor says:
Royce: I merely came back to my ship after it was loaded with its cargo. I'd been hired to transport supplies, they were loaded onto my ship while I was at dinner with Sam, and when our date was over I got into my ship and flew away.

Host Mirion Naylor says:
:: Seems mostly nonplussed by this turn of events ::

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Checks who on his staff was on roving patrol in that area since the Vesuvius left Avalon station ::

OPS Brehgorn says:
*CTO* It appears that most of our supplies are in order, with the exception of a supply of Calmeorphin, a chemical I detect aboard the Elora.

CSO Trelan says:
:: Moving to the OPS station and bringing up damage report ::  XO: Looks like about two hours, longer to get the bulk heads secured.

FCO Lane says:
:: Scans the data base for any unusual com signals ::

CO Royce says:
:: Nods at Naylor ::   Naylor:  I'm sure my people will turn up something...

XO Kelson says:
CSO: Thank you.  :: Moves to command chair ::

CTO Wakefield says:
*OPS*:  Aye.  Thank you Lieutenant.

CO Royce says:
Naylor:  Did you even check the cargo before leaving the Station?

CTO Wakefield says:
*CO*:  Wakefield to Captain, a moment of your time?

Host Mirion Naylor says:
Royce: Of course I did...every good captain would.

OPS Brehgorn says:
:: Runs tricorder scan in CB 4 for any evidence of a recent transport ::

CO Royce says:
Naylor:  And everything was correct?

Host Mirion Naylor says:
Royce: I'm rather curious to see what you're going to be turning up, actually.

FCO Lane says:
:: Runs a full spectral analysis for radiation and any energy surges indicating a transport
beam ::

XO Kelson says:
@COM*CO* Captain, Dru says it will be a few hours on the repairs.  Anything else we need to do while we are over here?

CO Royce says:
*CTO*  Yes, Dathan?

CSO Trelan says:
@:: taps commbadge :: *Greve* Trelan to Greve. How bad does it look down there?

CO Royce says:
:: moves away from the biobed ::

CTO Wakefield says:
*CO*:  Are you, "relatively" alone Captain?

Host Mirion Naylor says:
Royce: Yes. Everything was accounted for......although there was more of something than I was expecting.

CO Royce says:
*CTO* Not at the moment, Dathan.

CTO Wakefield says:
*CO*:  We have visually scanned our cargo bays.  Only one item is missing.  A supply of Calmeorphin.

CO Royce says:
@COM*XO*   Not that I'm aware of Sam...

CO Royce says:
*CTO*  Thank you, Dathan

CO Royce says:
@COM*XO*  Sam...

XO Kelson says:
@COM*CO* I'll keep you informed, Captain.  Out.

CTO Wakefield says:
*CO*:  Also, Captain, that substance has been detected on the Elora.

XO Kelson says:
@COM*CO* Yes, Captain?

CSO Trelan says:
<Greve>*CSO* Pretty bad, sir, I have my team checking the force fields now. I will have the exposed sections sealed off in about 5 minutes, but the warp drive is off line, and will need replacement conduits to get it going again.

FCO Lane says:
CTO: All sensor records show no signs of radiation or energy surges but there is something...

CO Royce says:
@COM*XO* I'd like for you to check the cargo bay for a shipment of Calmeorphin

Host Mirion Naylor says:
That chemical could be used as a catalyst in setting off a biological weapon.

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Looks over at FCO ::

CO Royce says:
*CTO* Thank you, Dathan, I'll have Sam look for it over there.

XO Kelson says:
@COM*CO* I'm on it, Captain.

CO Royce says:
:: Moves back to the biobed ::

OPS Brehgorn says:
*CTO* I just ran a query on the chemical in question, and, if used correctly, it can be used to manufacture a deadly biological weapon.

XO Kelson says:
@::heads for cargo bay::

CTO Wakefield says:
*CO*:  Captain, it should be noted, that Calmeorphin can be used in the construction of biological weapons as a catalyst.

CSO Trelan says:
@XO: Sir...

XO Kelson says:
@CSO: Yes, Dru?

CO Royce says:
*CTO* Thank you, Dathan.

CTO Wakefield says:
OPS:  Thank you.

CTO Wakefield says:
FCO:  Ensign?

CSO Trelan says:
@They will have it contained in about 5 minutes. Don't enter until then, or we will be pulling you out of space.

CO Royce says:
Naylor:  We are missing our shipment of Calmeorphin.  It has been detected on your ship.

Host Mirion Naylor says:
Royce: Are you accusing me of being a thief?  :: Her voice is calm, but she's definitely concerned about this strange turn of events ::

FCO Lane says:
CTO: The chemical...well it seems to have left a residue...

XO Kelson says:
@CSO: I'll take my time, then.…  :: Smiles ::    @CSO: Thank you.

CO Royce says:
Naylor:  Not at the moment, not until we are absolute sure.…

CTO Wakefield says:
FCO:  Specify.

CSO Trelan says:
:: smiling ::   XO: I'd hate to lose another XO.

XO Kelson says:
:: Nods ::

FCO Lane says:
CTO: Clearly pointing at the Elora...like a marker or a beacon of some sort...I think the Elora was targeted.

CSO Trelan says:
@<Frost> CSO: Internal sensors are online.

CO Royce says:
Naylor:  Are you aware that Calmeorphin, in the wrong hands can be used in the construction of biological weapons?

CTO Wakefield says:
*CO*:  We've got another problem Captain...

CSO Trelan says:
@Frost: Thank you, Lt. Now lets get started on the rest of this ship.

Host Mirion Naylor says:
Royce: Yes, I do know that.

XO Kelson says:
:: Waits outside cargo bay ::

FCO Lane says:
