USS Vesuvius NCC 71985
"Background Radiation" Episode Five:  The Fallout begins...

Previously on the USS Vesuvius:

In what seems an infestation of changelings, several officers have been injured or knocked out.

In the past 10 minutes, chaos has reigned as security attempted to lock down the ship.

The Doctor has had her hands full in sickbay, and the Admiral has returned to his guarded quarters.

XO Kelson says:
*CO* Aye, aye...Kelson out.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Smells someone approaching, listens for footsteps. ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Feels the pills taking effect and heads out of sickbay. ::

CTO Horn says:
Sharpe: Hurry up. Blow the door apart if you have to.

CMO Zria says:
*CIV* Lennier, yes, you can take him back to your quarters, but he needs to rest and needs to be watched carefully at least for the next 12 hours.

XO Kelson says:
:: Enters turbolift. ::   Computer: Bridge...

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  How are you doing, Cmdr?

CNS Shirley says:
:: As I get closer to OPS I see she is getting nervous again. ::   OPS: It is alright, no one is going to hurt you...

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  TO Sharpe and his team break down the closet door and rescue the CTO

OPS Chaser says:

*CO* Dr. Zria to Captain Royce.  Sir, The child you were inquiring about is young Caleb.  I'm releasing him to his father's care.

*Sharpe*: Where at?

Host Cmdr Fabian says:
:: Hand slips and hits a protruding plasma tube. ::

CO: Okay for the moment Captain, although the baby is starting to get a bit quiet on me.   :: Smiles. ::

Host Cmdr Fabian says:
Self: Blimey!

CMO Zria says:
CNS: Of course you can stay with her.  I'm sure that having a friendly face nearby will be comforting for her.

SO Lane says:
:: Turns over and blinks her eyes a few times before keeping them open finally. ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Curls up pulling her hand away, still saying nothing. ::

:: Nods at the FCO. ::   FCO:  Well, know that I'll worry about you and that child if we come upon a wormhole

Host CO Royce says:
*TO* Royce here.

TO Russ Horn says:
*CO*: We have found the CTO.

CMO Zria says:
<Thomas>:: Frowns as he watches the readings on Trelan's biobed and makes adjustments to the cardiac stimulator trying to keep the rhythm steady. ::

Host Cmdr Fabian says:
:: Grabs a tricorder, hitting a few buttons. ::

SO Lane says:
:: Tries to sit up but loses her balance. ::   Self: Owww!

Host CO Royce says:
*TO* Excellent!  Please escort her to sickbay for an exam

CIV McDonald says:
*CO* Understood.   :: Puts Caleb down for a nap, activates a little program he just finished. ::   Computer: Activate the program McDonald 1.   :: Watches as a Nanny appears.  Lennier then instructs the Nanny on what’s to be done. ::
*CO* I'm on my way.

FCO Horn says:
CO: That'll make two of us Ma'am.

Host Cmdr Fabian says:
Self: 102.5...100.4...95.24....95.93...there we go...perfect.

CMO Zria says:
:: Nods. ::   CNS: I understand completely.  OPS: Let's get these regenerators off of you then I'll check the results of your blood tests.   :: Begins removing the devices from Tigodan. ::

TO Russ Horn says:
*CTO*: Horn to Horn.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Holds her breath. ::

Host CO Royce says:
XO: As you can see, the Hope Lane you took to the brig was actually a Founder.   :: Smiles and quietly says… ::    Your Hope is in sickbay.

CTO Alex Horn says:
*TO*: Go ahead

XO Kelson says:
CO: Thank you, Captain.

CNS Shirley says:
OPS: Look at me and do not think about what is happening...

Host Cmdr Fabian says:
:: Hits combadge. ::   *CO* Fabian to Royce.

CIV McDonald says:
:: Heads to the nearest Turbolift. ::   Turbolift: Bridge.   :: Feels the turbolift moving towards the bridge and shortly arrives. ::

Host CO Royce says:
*Fabian*:  Go ahead Cmdr

TO Russ Horn says:
*CTO*: You are to report to sickbay.

Host CO Royce says:
XO:  How are you feeling, Sam?

XO Kelson says:
:: Face brightens. ::   CO: That is great news!  But...I was just in sickbay?  I never saw her?   :: Shakes head. ::

CIV McDonald says:
:: Steps out onto the bridge and starts walking down towards the Captain’s Ready Room. ::

SO Lane says:
:: Makes another attempt. ::

CMO Zria says:
:: Once the devices are ready she contacts the bridge. ::   *Inn* Dr. Zria to Inn, Could you transport Lieutenant Chaser from this location to Isolation?

Host CO Royce says:
XO:  She could be in another area, Sam.

CTO Alex Horn says:
*TO*: Understood. I am in my way

CMO Zria says:
Rachelle: Is isolation set up with the containment field ready?

CTO Alex Horn says:
:: Heads in the direction of sickbay. ::

Host CO Royce says:
<Inn>*CMO*: Aye ma'am

FCO Horn says:
:: Sends a message to Hunter regarding Mitchell's work schedule, then turn back to her duties. ::

CNS Shirley says:
OPS: I will be with you so do not worry.  You will be fine.

CIV McDonald says:
:: Stops out front of the Captain’s Ready Room already knowing what this conversation is going to be about.  Sighs and mumbles to self. ::   Self: Thank you Caleb…   :: Hits the door chime. ::

CMO Zria says:
<Rachelle> CMO:  Yes Dr.  The field will be activated by the transport.

Host Cmdr Fabian says:
*CO* Captain, the sensor palette has been fitted with the modified graviton beam and the frequency has been narrowed to 95.93 jules. That should be sufficient to detect the launch within...say ten light years.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Looks to the XO... ::   XO:  Sam?

OPS Chaser says:
:: Waits for the moment the restraints are removed. ::

SO Lane says:
:: Finally manages to sit up but barely. ::

CMO Zria says:
:: Nods. ::   *Inn* Thank you, Sir.

XO Kelson says:
CO: I feel like I've lost time.  The concussion scrambled my memory and I'm trying to put the pieces back together.  Do you want me to watch the bridge?

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  Lieutenant Chaser is transported site to site to the detention/isolation ward of sickbay

CTO Alex Horn says:
:: Enters Sickbay. ::

Host CO Royce says:
*Fabian*:  Great!  Can you man that from the bridge, Cmdr?

OPS Chaser says:
:: Bolts for the door running full bore into the containment field. ::

TO Russ Horn says:
CTO: How are you feeling?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Sees the CIV. ::  CIV:  Please wait for me in my Ready Room.

Host Cmdr Fabian says:
*CO* Aye, ma'am; on ma way.

CIV McDonald says:
CO: Yes Ma'am.   :: Steps inside the Captain’s Ready Room. ::

CMO Zria says:
<Rachelle>:: Checks to make sure that the containment field is operating fully. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Looks over to Sam... ::  XO:  Sam, how are you feeling?

CTO Alex Horn says:
TO: Better. What has happened while I was gone?

OPS Chaser says:
:: Bounces off just barely landing on her feet, and dives under the bed. ::

TO Russ Horn says:
CTO: Not much, we did get Hope to sickbay.

CMO Zria says:
<Rachelle> CMO: Sir, everything is operating properly, per the Admiral's orders.

Host Cmdr Fabian says:
:: Enters turbolift. ::   Computer: Bridge.

CTO Alex Horn says:
TO: Why is she in Sickbay. I thought she was supposed to be in the brig.

TO Russ Horn says:
CTO: The Founder did turn into the CSO, and they were fighting each other when I found them.

XO Kelson says:
CO: The medic gave me some pills for the pain...but it doesn't help my worry about Hope.

Host CO Royce says:
XO:  I understand.  You up for an interrogation?

TO Russ Horn says:
CTO: We have been invaded by shape shifters.

CMO Zria says:
:: Nods. ::   Rachelle:  Thank you Rachelle.  Perhaps you should check on Hope.

CNS Shirley says:
OPS: Now come out from there Tigodan. Now no one wants to see me having to sit on the floor to talk to you...

XO Kelson says:
CO: Isn't that how I got into this mess in the first place???   :: Winks. ::

CMO Zria says:
<Rachelle>:: Nods. ::   CMO:  Yes, Ma'am.

Host Cmdr Fabian says:
:: Exits into the bridge of the Vesuvius as the doors part. ::

TO Russ Horn says:
CTO: The Lt. Hope in the brig was a shape shifter.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Rubs her head and crawls further under the bed. ::

SO Lane says:
:: Calls out weakly. ::   All: Hello, anyone around?   :: Grabs her head in pain. ::

TO Russ Horn says:
CTO: What is the last thing you remember?

CTO Alex Horn says:
TO: Understood. How many shape shifters infiltrated the ship?

Host CO Royce says:
XO:  True, but are you up for it?

TO Russ Horn says:
CTO: We have found two so far.

XO Kelson says:
CO: Yes Ma'am...

Host CO Royce says:
XO:  Good.  I want you to go to sickbay and interrogate Lt. Chaser.  It's possible she is in collusion with the Founders with how she's acted.

Host Cmdr Fabian says:
:: Moves to the Auxiliary Engineering station at the rear of the bridge. ::

CNS Shirley says:
OPS: Please Tigodan come out here and talk to me.  No one is going to hurt you…

CMO Zria says:
:: Walks over to the isolation chamber. ::   CNS:  She is safer here than on her own, at least now in this state.  She needs to be supervised constantly and I still have tissue samples to take in order to complete the medical tests to clear her for duty.

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  Cmdr, you up for a little distraction?

XO Kelson says:
:: Raises eyebrows. ::   CO: Really?  I'll see what I can find out...

CTO Alex Horn says:
TO: I suppose the reason I am here is for the blood test?

Host CO Royce says:
XO:  Good.

TO Russ Horn says:
CTO: That and to be cleared for duty.

CMO Zria says:
OPS: I'm going to opaque the window so that you won't have to see the majority of sickbay; that may help you feel more comfortable.  If you need anything just ask me.   :: Smiles. ::

Host Cmdr Fabian says:
:: Taps at the console, activating it, bringing the sensor palette online. ::

CNS Shirley says:
CMO: I will stay with her and supervise her, if that is alright.

XO Kelson says:
:: Sam gets position of Chaser from computer. ::

FCO Horn says:
CO: Anytime Captain, what do you need?

OPS Chaser says:
:: Pulls her knees up to her chest and  moves away from the Doctor and Counselor. ::

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  You have the bridge for a little bit.  I have to speak with the CIV in private

SO Lane says:
:: Calls again…. ::   All: Is anyone around?

XO Kelson says:
:: Heads for detention cell. ::

CTO Alex Horn says:
TO: I am fit for duty. Let’s get the blood test over with. I need to talk to the Captain as soon as possible.

CMO Zria says:
<Rachelle>:: Enters secondary sickbay and walks over to Hope and sees that she is resting a little more comfortably. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Raises and moves to her Ready room. ::

CTO Alex Horn says:
TO: How is Hope doing?

CMO Zria says:
CNS: Of course, that will be fine.   :: Smiles. ::

Host Cmdr Fabian says:
CO: Sensor palette One online and functioning.

CIV McDonald says:
:: Paces back and forth. ::

TO Russ Horn says:
CTO: The Captain wants you cleared.

CNS Shirley says:
CMO: Thank you

FCO Horn says:
CO: Aye Ma'am.   :: Calls Hunter to the bridge to cover flight control. ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Takes turbolift to sickbay. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods to Cmdr Fabian. ::   Fabian:  Good.  We need to start looking for those neutrino particles

Host Cmdr Fabian says:
CO: Aye.

CMO Zria says:
<Rachelle>:: Hears the SO's faint call. ::   SO: Hope, its good to see you awake.  I thought for moment that you were still asleep.  Can I get you anything?

CTO Alex Horn says:
TO: Let’s do it then. Where is the doctor?

TO Russ Horn says:
CTO: She is here somewhere.

CNS Shirley says:
OPS: It is alright.  I promise no one is going to hurt you.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Enters her Ready Room and takes her seat. ::   CIV:  I'm sorry for the delay.

SO Lane says:
Rachelle: Yeah, the guy who ran a shuttle over me. I've got this awful headache.

CMO Zria says:
:: Leaves the isolation chamber, activates the opaque for the windows and walks toward Commander Trelan's biobed. ::

Host Cmdr Fabian says:
:: Taps at console, running sweeps. ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Enters sickbay and heads for the detention section. ::

Host CO Royce says:
CIV:  I'll get right to the point, Mr. McDonald.

CIV McDonald says:
:: Nods to the CO. ::   CO: That is okay captain.

FCO Horn says:
:: Gets up slowly from flight control and waddles to the more comfortable center seat. ::

Host CO Royce says:
CIV:  I understand it was your child in Lt Lane's quarters.

FCO Horn says:
<Hunter>:: Arrives on the bridge, moving quickly to flight. ::

TO Russ Horn says:
XO: Sir, you are up an about.

CTO Alex Horn says:
:: Not wanting to wait for the doctor, grabs one of the many sharp objects in the room and cuts her hand and lets the blood drip to the floor. ::   TO: Blood test done. Now where is the Captain right now?

XO Kelson says:
CNS: Counselor...How is our patient?   :: Motions toward Lt. Chaser. ::

CMO Zria says:
<Rachelle>:: Smiles. ::   SO:  I'm sure, you took a nasty blow to the head.  You'll probably have this headache for a few days, and possibly some dizziness too.

CIV McDonald says:
CO: Yes sir it was. He knows he's supposed to stay in the nursery when I'm on duty.

Host Cmdr Fabian says:
<Trelan>:: Shifts slightly on the bed, brow furrowing as he sees nothing but emptiness. ::

TO Russ Horn says:
CTO: Bridge, but she wants you cleared physically.

Host CO Royce says:
CIV:  Well, Mr. McDonald, this is a starship, and not a nursery.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Hears the XO and curls herself into a ball, hiding. ::

SO Lane says:
Rachelle: Sam, where's Sam? Is he alright?

CNS Shirley says:
XO: She is alright.  She is very scared.   If it is not too much to ask I would like to stay and observe her.

Host CO Royce says:
CIV:  Children are not allowed on the bridge,

Host CO Royce says:
CIV:  Nor in Senior staff meetings.

CIV McDonald says:
CIV: Yes captain I know. Caleb was born on my last assignment on the Huron.
:: Nods. ::   I'm sorry captain.

XO Kelson says:
CNS: That would be fine.  It might keep her calm since she has such a nervousness about her.

Host CO Royce says:
CIV:  That leaves me with a problem...

CTO Alex Horn says:
TO: I understand that, but the ship is under attack and it is our job to protect it, with our lives if necessary

CIV McDonald says:
CO: Yes sir?

Host CO Royce says:
CIV:  How to handle this...it is delicate in itself.

CNS Shirley says:
XO: She is.

CIV McDonald says:
CO: Yes it is…

TO Russ Horn says:
CTO: Ships security is under control. You need to be cleared.

XO Kelson says:
TO: Thank you, Mr. Horn.  And thank you for following orders and saving my life.  :: Smiles. ::

Host CO Royce says:
CIV:  You've been a good officer here.

Host CO Royce says:
CIV:  However, I cannot have a child running amok on my ship...

Host CO Royce says:
CIV:  Especially in a crisis situation.

TO Russ Horn says:
XO: I still am not sure what happened.

CIV McDonald says:
:: Nods. ::   CO: Yes ma'am

CMO Zria says:
<Rachelle> SO: Here is something for the pain.   :: Administers a pain killer for the headache. ::   And I'll get you something to take with you.  He was released a little while ago.  Oh, my...   :: Frowns. ::   He doesn't know that you're here...I didn't know until after he was released that you were here...   :: Shutters. ::   He...he may still believe that you're...   :: Sighs… :: …dead.

FCO Horn says:
:: Receives updates from the various bridge stations. ::

Host CO Royce says:
CIV:  I try not to involve myself in the personal affairs of my crew...

Host CO Royce says:
CIV:  However, this cannot go unnoticed...

CMO Zria says:
:: Sees that Thomas' adjustments have stabilized Trelan again and sets the medical systems to run a few diagnostic tests on the Commander to ensure her diagnosis of his condition. ::

CIV McDonald says:
CO: No I agree.

SO Lane says:
:: Takes the medication. ::   Rachelle: Thanks. Wait! Sam thinks I'm dead?

CNS Shirley says:
OPS: Please come out of your ball and talk with us.  NO one is going to hurt you.

Host CO Royce says:
CIV:  Nor without action.

XO Kelson says:
TO: From what I hear, if you didn't shoot, the Founder would have finished both of us off.

TO Russ Horn says:
CTO: I cannot let you return to duty till you are medically cleared.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Thinks a moment. ::

Host CO Royce says:
CIV:  How old is your son, Mr. McDonald?

FCO Horn says:
Hunter: I want to have Michaels and Mitchell working together a little more.  They will make a good team if we can get them to know each other better.

TO Russ Horn says:
XO: I will watch the security recordings later, want to join me.

OPS Chaser says:
:: The fur on her neck stands up and she gets ready to attack, her panic level rising. ::

CIV McDonald says:
CO: 2 years, almost 3…

CNS Shirley says:
OPS: NO calm down!

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods. ::   CIV:  A tumultuous age.   :: Smiles. ::   I have a brother who is about that same age.

CMO Zria says:
:: Turns and looks around sickbay...notices the TO and CTO near Commander Kelson and walks over. ::   TO: Lieutenant, our patients are recovering nicely... although Commander Trelan is still unconscious.

CTO Alex Horn says:
:: Gives up. ::   TO: Alright, get the doctor over here and get this over and done with

SO Lane says:
:: Swallows the meds and starts to get up. ::

FCO Horn says:
<Hunter>FCO: I agree.  They will make a good team.

CIV McDonald says:
CO: Oh really.  But you’re so...

CTO Alex Horn says:
XO: I understood that you talked to our guest

CMO Zria says:
TO/CTO:  What do you two need?  :: Looks from one officer to the other. ::

Host CO Royce says:
CIV:  Old? Mr. McDonald?

XO Kelson says:
TO: I don't know if I want to see Lt. Lane vaporized even if it was a Founder.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Smiles. ::

CIV McDonald says:
CO: Yes sir, to have a brother of that age…

TO Russ Horn says:
CMO: Dr., if you could examine Cmdr. Horn.

CMO Zria says:
<Rachelle> SO: Other than the headache, how do you feel?

XO Kelson says:
CTO: Guest?

TO Russ Horn says:
XO: Not really, but I have to know what really happened.

CTO Alex Horn says:
CMO: Apparently I need a physical done so I can return to work…   :: Pointing to the TO indicating that it was his idea. ::

Host CO Royce says:
CIV:  Well, Mr. McDonald, I am old...I'm 800 years old

CIV McDonald says:
:: Smiles. ::

TO Russ Horn says:
CTO: That was the CO's idea for you to come here.

SO Lane says:
Rachelle: A bit woozy it seems.   :: Sits back down. ::   Sorry, I guess I got up too fast.

CMO Zria says:
:: Nods. ::   TO: Of course...   :: Runs a tricorder over the CTO. ::   A simple physical or do I include a blood test to insure your identity?

Host CO Royce says:
CIV:  And my previous hosts tell me something needs to be done

XO Kelson says:
TO: I need to question Lt. Chaser...can you let me in the detention area?

CMO Zria says:
:: Hears the TO. ::   CTO/TO:  Captain's orders...I see. 

CIV McDonald says:
CO: I agree.

FCO Horn says:
Hunter: I am setting a holodeck time for the flight staff.  They need a little R&R before we start the battle drills.

Host CO Royce says:
CIV:  And I DO need to do something in this situation.

TO Russ Horn says:
XO: I will accompany you sir.

CMO Zria says:
CTO:  Everything looks fine; you should be fit to return to duty.

CIV McDonald says:
CO: Yes sir.  Whatever you wish to do is fine with me.

CTO Alex Horn says:
XO: Chaser is in here? Is she an infiltrator too?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Pauses a moment in contemplation... ::

CTO Alex Horn says:
CMO: Thank you

Host CO Royce says:
CIV:  My decision is this...

Host CO Royce says:
CIV:  The child must be placed with a caregiver when you are on duty.  If he needs one-on-one attention, then see if the nursery has someone available to fill that need for him.

CIV McDonald says:
CO: Yes sir.

XO Kelson says:
CTO: I need to determine that, Commander.

CNS Shirley says:
OPS: Everything is going to be ok....

Host CO Royce says:
CIV:  You are a single parent, right?

CIV McDonald says:
CIV: Yes my wife the former captain of the Huron died in the line of duty.

CTO Alex Horn says:
:: Whispers. ::   TO: I know you were only following orders, and thank you for that

FCO Horn says:
<Hunter> FCO: Using the battle trainer you wrote on the Del?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods. ::   CIV:  I'm sorry for your loss.  Caleb must be a handful for you.   :: Smiles gently. ::

CMO Zria says:
<Rachelle> SO: That is a common feeling with a concussion, I'll bring you something for the dizziness as well when I bring you the tablets.  I'll be back in a moment, and then if you feel up to it, you can return to your quarters.

CTO Alex Horn says:
XO: Permission to join you in the questioning

Host Cmdr Fabian says:
FCO: Commander, I recommend sending out a class VIII probe to boost our sensor capability. It's capable of warp 9, and we are traveling at warp 4. It may give us a heads up.

FCO Horn says:
Hunter: Yep, but I've added a few more...uh...quirks to it.   :: Grins widely. ::

XO Kelson says:
CTO: I hear you haven't been cleared for duty yet?  Is this true?

TO Russ Horn says:
:: Whispers. ::   CTO: Well under these conditions we can never be too careful.

CIV McDonald says:
CO: Yes he is. He's presently in my quarters resting as ordered by the CMO, but I have created a holographic nanny for the time being.

FCO Horn says:
Fabian: Good idea, I'll clear it with the CO.

CTO Alex Horn says:
XO: The CMO just cleared me

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods. ::   CIV:  I do understand, Mr. McDonald.  My brother was a little too much for me to handle alone when I was on Trill.  I don't see how my mother handles him.  However, my sisters are there to help, so that is some relief for her, I suppose.

Host Cmdr Fabian says:
:: Nods. ::

SO Lane says:
:: Smiles. ::   Rachelle: Thank you, but is there anyway you can call Sam...err Commander Kelson and get him to come here?

CIV McDonald says:
:: Nods to the Captain. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Gets a serious look... ::

Host CO Royce says:
CIV:  Well, I need to place this report in your file.  If there is another incident of Caleb running around my ship...I'm afraid I may have to address this situation as a child neglect incident.

FCO Horn says:
*CO* Captain, permission to send a class VIII probe on ahead of us.

CMO Zria says:
:: Takes a deep breath and concentrates on Tigodan's condition and begins expelling pheromones to calm and sooth the situation. ::

CIV McDonald says:
CO: Yes sir…

CNS Shirley says:
OPS:~~~ Please keep calm.  I am right here no one is going to hurt you. Look at me if you understand. ~~~

XO Kelson says:
CTO: Then let's begin the questioning...

Host CO Royce says:
:: Looks to the CIV... ::   CIV:  I'm sorry...    *FCO*:  Make it so.

CTO Alex Horn says:
XO: Thank You sir

FCO Horn says:
Fabian: Captain agrees.  Let's do it.

CTO Alex Horn says:
:: Follows the XO to where OPS is being held. ::

CIV McDonald says:
:: Nods to the captain. ::   CO: The Life of a captain I suppose.

Host Cmdr Fabian says:
:: Nods with a smile. ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Thinks she hears the CNS talking to her peeks out but sees no one. ::

Host CO Royce says:
CIV:  I don't want to have to do that.

Host CO Royce says:
CIV:  So I suggest, you find a solution to your problem.

CNS Shirley says:
:: Moves to where OPS can see me. ::

Host Cmdr Fabian says:
:: Runs fingers over the console, setting the probes sensor capabilities. ::

Host CO Royce says:
CIV:  I DON'T want him on my bridge or in another senior staff meeting.

CIV McDonald says:
CO: I know you don't sir. And I wouldn't want it either. Hopefully I've found one; we'll see.

CNS Shirley says:
OPS: ~~~ Please keep calm.  I am right here no one is going to hurt you. Look at me if you understand. ~~~

CIV McDonald says:
CO: Yes sir. I will make sure it doesn't happen again.

CTO Alex Horn says:
XO: I also have an idea on how verify who is real and not, so to speak

XO Kelson says:
:: Turns to Lt. Chaser. ::   Lt. Chaser...I need to ask you a few questions.  Will you answer them honorably?

CMO Zria says:
<Rachelle>:: Retrieves the medication from the replicator and returns to Hope. :: SO: The liquid is for the nausea and dizziness and the tablets for the pain.  You can take them every 4 hours if you need them.

XO Kelson says:
:: Nods to CTO. ::

FCO Horn says:
Fabian: Would you like to take care of it Cmdr. or shall I have Tactical handle the probe?

OPS Chaser says:
:: Peeks out from under the bed. ::

Host Cmdr Fabian says:
:: Taps at the console one last time. ::   FCO: I have it. Probe is ready for launch.

Host CO Royce says:
CIV:  This will be placed into your file.

XO Kelson says:
:: Leans down to get on the kit's level. ::

CIV McDonald says:
CO: Yes sir.

Host CO Royce says:
CIV:  If in 6 months there is not another incident, I will remove it.

CNS Shirley says:
OPS: ~~~ Come on out no one here wants to hurt you. ~~~

Host CO Royce says:
CIV:  However...

Host CO Royce says:
CIV:  If another incident like this happens again, I will have it made a permanent part of your record.

Host CO Royce says:
CIV:  I would hate to have to bust you down in rank in order to reduce your work load some so that you may see to the needs of your son...

CMO Zria says:
:: Enters the isolation room and walks toward the containment field staying behind the biobed to keep it between herself and Tigodan. ::

SO Lane says:
:: Takes the new medications and looks for somewhere to put them. ::
Rachelle: Excuse me, where are my clothes and where is Commander Kelson?

Host CO Royce says:
CIV:  And if it comes to that...you may want to think about another position that is less demanding on your time.

CIV McDonald says:
CO: Yes sir, so would I.

FCO Horn says:
Fabian: Make it so.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Shakes her head at the CNS, still peering out. ::

Host CO Royce says:
CIV:  Do I make myself clear?

CIV McDonald says:
CO: Yes sir you do.

Host Cmdr Fabian says:
:: Hits a single control. ::

Host Cmdr Fabian says:
FCO: Probe away.

CNS Shirley says:
OPS: ~~~ Yes come out, I am right here no one is going to hurt you. ~~~

XO Kelson says:
OPS: I need your help, Lt. Chaser.  Will you help your cha'Dlch?

Host CO Royce says:
CIV:  Good.  You're dismissed.  Please man tactical if the TO or CTO is not at that station.

CMO Zria says:
<Rachelle> SO:  Your clothes are in the locker there beside your bed.  I'm not sure where Commander Kelson is, but I can check for you while you dress if you like...

FCO Horn says:
Fabian: Keep a close eye on it.  I hate surprises.

CIV McDonald says:
CO: Yes sir.   :: Snaps a salute and spins on his heels and heads out of the Captain’s Ready Room and looks. ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Hears the voice of cha'DIch and peeks a bit further out. ::

Host Cmdr Fabian says:
:: Nods. ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Smiles at the Kit. ::

FCO Horn says:
:: Feels a sharp pain in her back and chooses to pace the bridge for awhile. ::

CIV McDonald says:
:: Walks up to tactical and stands there. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Sighs a moment and waits until Mr. McDonald is gone from her Ready Room before she rises and goes to the bridge. ::

SO Lane says:
Rachelle: Never mind, I'll contact him myself later, but thank you again.
:: Smiles and heads for the locker. ::

CMO Zria says:
<Thomas>:: Looks at the new readings on Commander Trelan and frowns. ::   Self: This may take longer for him to recover than we first expected...

XO Kelson says:
:: Sits cross-legged with hands at rest on knees. ::

Host Cmdr Fabian says:
:: Watches as the probe extends its lead on the ship, moving away at warp seven. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Exits onto the bridge. ::   FCO:  Report, Cmdr

CMO Zria says:
<Rachelle>:: Nods. ::   SO:  I understand.  I'll be in main sickbay if you need anything else.  I know you're ready to dress and get out of here.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Whispers barely audible. ::   XO: Aye, Sir-r.

CIV McDonald says:
:: Taps a few buttons logging himself into tactical. ::

CNS Shirley says:
:: Watches OPS, shaking head to let her know it is alright. ::

SO Lane says:
:: Nods to Rachelle. ::

CMO Zria says:
<Rachelle>:: Crosses over to main sickbay and sees Thomas with Trelan. :: Thomas: Is everything ok?

XO Kelson says:
OPS: That's what I like to hear...

FCO Horn says:
*CO* Probe is on its way.  No data yet, it's too soon.

XO Kelson says:
OPS: Let's start simple...what is your name, rank and position on this ship?

OPS Chaser says:
:: Gulps hard, clenching her fists to keep her hands from shaking. ::

SO Lane says:
:: Begins dressing, starting with her under things. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods. ::   FCO: Thank you, Cmdr.  Please stay seated...I'll be right back.

CMO Zria says:
<Thomas> Rachelle:  He's resting, and recovering, but those stun blasts did more damage than we thought.  The tissue of his heart is going to need time to heal.... more than we first thought.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Moves up to the back of the bridge... ::   Fabian:  How soon do you think we'll know anything?

OPS Chaser says:
:: Whispers. ::   XO: Sir-r, Lt Tigodan Star-r-r Chaser-r.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Looks to Fabian, worried... ::

CMO Zria says:
<Rachelle>:: Nods and works to make Trelan more comfortable. ::

FCO Horn says:
:: Feels her backache subsiding and moves back to the seat. ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Whisper. ::   XO: Sir-r I sit at OPS.

Host Cmdr Fabian says:
:: Notices the CO out of the corner of his eye looks to her questioningly. ::

SO Lane says:
:: Pulls on her pants and boots slowly, trying to keep her balance. ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Resists the urge to climb back under the bad. ::

XO Kelson says:
OPS: Yes you do...and a fine job you do at OPS.  What do you know about the current mission we are on?

CMO Zria says:
:: Stands and watches Tigodan, prepares a sedative if needed. :: 

CNS Shirley says:
:: Smiles at OPS. ::

Host Cmdr Fabian says:
CO: At least 20 minutes.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Whispers. ::   XO: I was following a signal of a Car-rdassian ship.

Host CO Royce says:
Fabian:  Good.    FCO:  You still have the bridge.

XO Kelson says:
OPS: Do you remember anything else that was threatening the crew of the ship?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Enters the turbolift. ::   Turbolift:  Deck 12

OPS Chaser says:
:: Shakes violently, trying to remember to breath. ::

FCO Horn says:
CO: Aye ma'am.

CMO Zria says:
:: Steps back to the console and pulls up Tigodan's file...looks over the results from the blood work and frowns...and walks out of the room closing the door behind her.  *CO* Dr. Zria to Captain Royce...

SO Lane says:
:: Puts on her blue-green shirt and tunic jacket and slips the medication into her inside pocket. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Taps her foot impatiently as the lift speeds towards Deck 12. ::

XO Kelson says:
OPS: Take your time...we are in no hurry.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Exits quickly as the lift doors open and heads towards sickbay. ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Breathing in gasps. ::   XO: I was called to a meeting.

Host Cmdr Fabian says:
<CSO>:: Groans slightly. ::   Self: Xen? Sam? Where is everyone?

CIV McDonald says:
:: Continues the monitoring at tactical. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Enters sickbay and sees Dr. Aola... ::   Aola:  Annie...where's Dru?

CNS Shirley says:
OPS: ~~~ Everything is going fine, he won't hurt you. You can come out from under your bed.   I am where you can see me. ~~~

CTO Alex Horn says:
:: Listens to the conversation. ::

XO Kelson says:
OPS: This is the command staff meeting that I missed while I was unconscious?  :: Checks PADD. ::

Host CO Royce says:
<Aola>CO:  Over there...   :: Points to another area of sickbay. ::

Host CO Royce says:
Aola:  Thanks.    :: Moves to where Aola pointed and sees Dr. Han. ::

SO Lane says:
:: Heads for the door but doesn't quite make it before collapsing into a nearby chair. ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Racks her mind. ::   XO: Sir-r I don't r-remember-r. 

Host CO Royce says:
Han:  How is he?

CMO Zria says:
*CO*:  Captain, I have the results from Lt. Chaser's blood work, it seems there may be a medical condition behind some of her actions.  I'm going to run a series of tests using tissue samples to get more accurate results.

Host CO Royce says:
<Han>:: Smiles ::   CO:  He's coming out of it.

XO Kelson says:
OPS: Okay...do you remember attending the meeting?

Host CO Royce says:
*CMO*:  Acknowledged Doctor.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Shakes her head very hard. ::

TO Russ Horn says:
:: Sees Hope. ::

CTO Alex Horn says:
Self: Meeting? Guess I missed quite a bit then

TO Russ Horn says:
CMO: Dr.!

CMO Zria says:
<Thomas>:: Looks up at the CO. ::   CO: Captain, Commander Trelan will recover.  His heart shows damage to the tissue from the stun blasts, but it will heal.  It'll just take time. 

Host Cmdr Fabian says:
FCO: Commander, the probe is moving deep into Cardassian space.

CMO Zria says:
:: Turns to the TO. ::   TO: Yes, Lieutenant?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Moves to Dru's side and caresses his brow... ::

TO Russ Horn says:
:: Rushes over to Hope. ::   SO: You ok?

FCO Horn says:
Fabian: Noted, let me know if we find anything interesting.

XO Kelson says:
OPS: It seems that the meeting was called so that everyone could take a blood test and get briefed on a Founder infiltration.  Are you familiar with the Founders?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Looks over to Thomas and Han. ::   Thomas/Han:  Heart damage?

TO Russ Horn says:
CMO: The Lt. needs to lie back down.

SO Lane says:
:: Looks up breathing heavily. ::   TO: I'm not sure.

Host Cmdr Fabian says:
FCO: Receiving data. I am getting some strange readings in a remote part of the sector.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Nods furiously. ::   XO: I do.

FCO Horn says:
Fabian: What kind of strange?   :: Turns to look at Fabian. ::

Host CO Royce says:
Thomas/Han:  How much time?

TO Russ Horn says:
SO: You should be back in bed.

CNS Shirley says:
OPS: ~~~ Everything is alright. ~~~

CMO Zria says:
:: Goes over to Hope's side. ::   SO:  How are you feeling, Lieutenant?   :: Helps her to a chair. ::   Why don't you sit down for a minute?  I don't want you doing too much too fast.

Host Cmdr Fabian says:
FCO: Unknown at this time. We are still too far out to get an accurate reading.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Glances at the CNS, holding her breath. ::

SO Lane says:
TO: You may be right.

XO Kelson says:
OPS: Then you realize the gravity of the situation and the necessary steps needed to ensure the safety of the ship?  Including blood tests?

TO Russ Horn says:
CMO: Where are we putting her Dr?

Host CO Royce says:
<Han>CO:  He just needs rest, ma'am.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods then bends and kisses his forehead then whispers in his ear... ::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION: OPS head begins to clear as she begins to calm down, the CNS having a positive effect

CMO Zria says:
<Thomas> CO: At least 72 hours, Captain.  I want to keep him sedated as well.  I don't want him moving around too much and causing more damage.

SO Lane says:
CMO: I'll be fine. Perhaps I can get Mr. Horn to help me to my quarters?

CNS Shirley says:
:: Looks straight at OPS and mouths everything will be fine. ::

FCO Horn says:
CIV: Back up the Cmdr, I want everything recorded.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Nods. ::   XO: Sir-r no one told me about tests, just meeting…r-repor-rt for -r a meeting.

Host CO Royce says:
CSO:  I love you, Dru.  Please come back to me.  I have to go, but I'll check on you soon.    :: Kisses his forehead again. ::

FCO Horn says:
:: Stands and waddles up to Fabian. ::

CMO Zria says:
:: Nods. ::   SO: You can go to your quarters, but you have to promise me that you will rest.  If I hear otherwise, you'll be back in here in restraints.   :: Smiles and gives her a wink. ::   You just need to get some rest.

Host CO Royce says:
Thomas/Han:  I understand.  Please keep me appraised.

TO Russ Horn says:
CMO: I will escort her Dr.

CTO Alex Horn says:
:: Continues to listen and tries to get caught up on the past events. ::

CMO Zria says:
<Thomas>CO: Of course, Sir.  Can I help you with anything else, Sir?  

SO Lane says:
CMO: Yes doctor, I understand.   :: Smiles. ::

Host CO Royce says:
Thomas/Han:  No.   :: Leaves sickbay enroute the turbolift. ::

XO Kelson says:
OPS: It's okay...that is in the past.  You have been cleared of suspicion of being a Founder.  But your actions were quite out of the ordinary.  Can you explain yourself?

FCO Horn says:
Fabian: Enough for even an educated guess?

OPS Chaser says:
:: Her tail lashes nervously back and forth. ::

Host Cmdr Fabian says:
:: Taps at the console. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Enters turbolift. ::   Turbolift:  Bridge.

SO Lane says:
:: Stands. ::   TO: Thanks Russ, I really appreciate this.

XO Kelson says:
OPS: I'm just trying to understand...not accuse.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Starts to cry. ::   XO: I don't r-remember-r anything Sir-r.

CMO Zria says:
:: Chuckles softly as she backs away from Hope...::   SO: Take care of yourself and call me if you need anything.

Host Cmdr Fabian says:
:: Shakes head. ::   FCO: Whatever it is, it's bigger than us.

CIV McDonald says:
:: Continues monitoring the space around them. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Exits the Bridge and walks down the ramp. ::   FCO:  Thank you, Cmdr.  Report.

SO Lane says:
CMO: I will doctor and thank you again.

CNS Shirley says:
OPS: ~~~ Everything is alright. ~~~

CTO Alex Horn says:
:: Whispers. ::   XO: If she has been cleared as not being a founder, are these questions really necessary then?

TO Russ Horn says:
SO: The least I can do considering.

FCO Horn says:
:: Walks away from Fabian and to the CO. ::   CO: The probe is in Cardassian space.  We are seeing something but unsure what.

SO Lane says:
:: Takes the TO's arm. ::   TO: Considering?

XO Kelson says:
OPS: Have you had any dealings with the Founders, Cardassians, or Romulans outside of your duties here on the ship?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods. ::   Fabian/FCO:  No ideas?  A wormhole perhaps?

FCO Horn says:
CO: A little more time and we should have the information we need.

TO Russ Horn says:
SO: That I thought that I killed you.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods to the FCO. ::

SO Lane says:
:: Looks at Russ surprised. ::   TO: You what?

OPS Chaser says:
:: Ponders a moment. ::   XO: Just in simulations Sir-r.

XO Kelson says:
:: Whispers. ::   CTO: The Captain wanted me to question her as being in league with the Founders...

TO Russ Horn says:
SO: It’s a long story

FCO Horn says:
CO: I was just asking the Cmdr the same question when you came in Ma'am.

CMO Zria says:
:: Returns to the isolation room and speaks softly to the XO. ::   XO: Sir, I have a few more tests that I need to run on Lieutenant Chaser before she can be cleared for duty.  I may need to place her back in restraints to complete them.  

TO Russ Horn says:
:: Guides the SO out of sickbay. ::

XO Kelson says:
OPS: So no contact outside of the holographic world?

CTO Alex Horn says:
:: Whispers. ::   XO: The CO doubts her loyalties then?

SO Lane says:
TO: We can talk about in my quarters if you like.   :: Smiles sweetly. ::

Host Cmdr Fabian says:
CO: It's big, Cap'n. Still too far out to tell.

XO Kelson says:
:: Nods to CTO. ::

CNS Shirley says:
:: Smiles. ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Sees the doctor and dives under the bed. ::

TO Russ Horn says:
SO: I can brief you on the ships situation.

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  Take us closer to it.

CNS Shirley says:
OPS: ~~~ Everything is going fine, he won't hurt you. You can come out from under your bed.   I am where you can see me. ~~~

Host Cmdr Fabian says:
CO: The probe should reach it in four minutes.

SO Lane says:
:: Hangs on to Russ's arm tightly. ::

CMO Zria says:
OPS: Lieutenant, I have few tests to run and I need to take tissue samples for them, will that be alright?   :: Hopes she doesn't have to administer the sedative to run the tests. ::   I promise the procedure will be painless.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods to Fabian. ::

FCO Horn says:
CO: Aye ma'am.   :: Relieves Hunter and changes course to the object. ::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  A fluctuation on the new sensors of Commander Fabian registers an activity spike...

XO Kelson says:
OPS: Will you let me come in with the doctor so she can run some more
un-intrusive tests, Lt. Chaser?  I promise I won't bite...   :: Smiles. ::

Host CO Royce says:
CIV:  Take us to yellow alert, lights only, no audible

Host Gerry says:
