MISSION BRIEF: Testing on the slipstream drive has came to a halt as Tandaris and company continue to run tests to determine the stability of the core and ship while Medical is running tests on the crew themselves.

Hunter Matheson -> ::sick bay with the doc?::

Maryse Dubois -> ::In sickbay, looking over the data that is slowly coming in from the rigged internal sensors.::

Hunter Matheson -> ::curious and not a little suspicious::

Maryse Dubois -> ::Hunter's side to side display is still up on a monitor as well.::

Maryse Dubois -> The initial numbers aren't good...

Hunter Matheson -> ::he checks the area before asking:: What's going on, Doc?

Tandaris Admiran -> ::overseeing efforts in engineering::

Hunter Matheson -> ::moves into her personal space:: I got one of those feelings that I get before a mission goes south.

Maryse Dubois -> If I were to take a guess, I would say you are gradually fading away into nothingness.

William Chocox -> ::working on his part of the project which his player totally hasn't forgotten::

Cptn Swain -> Ithene>:: still on the bridge, looking over some data from K'hal::

Hunter Matheson -> : :blink:: Really. Huh. ::having a hard time believing that, but for good measure, he pats his body to check::

Maryse Dubois -> And I don't mean in the sense that we all eventually fade. I mean it is really happening. You, and most likely everyone else are losing cells at an incredible rate. Probably every time that contraption is being used.

Hunter Matheson -> So.. is that going to be worse than the alien egg goo?

Tandaris Admiran -> ::Chocox:: Looks like you almost have the drive core removed. Watch that you don't trigger a cascade static discharge and kill us all.

Maryse Dubois -> Very.

Hunter Matheson -> Or are we just going to go poof one of these days?

Hunter Matheson -> Huh. So... what do we do?

Maryse Dubois -> I don't know yet. The evidence isn't fully concrete. The Captain may just shrug it off.

William Chocox -> Aye sir. ::keeps a watch on the core::

Hunter Matheson -> So... she's not worried that she's fading. Okay

Maryse Dubois -> I can't pinpoint a specific cause yet.

Tandaris Admiran -> ::Miranda:: I've made some enhancements to the scanner that might help us detect the microfractures more easily. ::points to the scanner utility mounted on the mobile platform:: The resolution was all right, but there were artifacts in the de-interlacing module.

Maryse Dubois -> +Tandaris+ Chief, I know you are extremely busy, but I will need to see you and the Commander as soon as time permits.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> ::Miranda sat down heavily, one hand pressed to her forehead.:: How extensive do you believe the damage is?

Hunter Matheson -> Unless the quantum drive is initiating a phase variance that rearranges our molecules.

Maryse Dubois -> ::Nods.::

Tandaris Admiran -> +Dubois+ Acknowledged. We'll be there shortly.

Hunter Matheson -> ::absently:: or just puts them into another dimension, which means that we might poof into another dimension. ::pause:: I wonder which one.

William Chocox -> Everything ok Commander Admiran?

Tandaris Admiran -> ::Miranda:: If we're lucky, we won't actually see any adverse effects for several more slipstream transitions. If we're unlucky …

Hunter Matheson -> ::doc:: Could be better than this one. you never know.

Maryse Dubois -> If we were being pulled to another dimension, I highly doubt we would remain intact.

Hunter Matheson -> Well, if it's part by part, they have to reassemble somewhere. I think. ::face scrunch::

Tandaris Admiran -> ::Chocox:: Hawthorne and I have to go see Dr. Dubois and learn about the terrible effects slipstream travel might be having on our bodies!

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> ::Hearing the comm from Maryse, she stood.::

Tandaris Admiran -> ::Chocox:: You're in charge. _Don't_ build any bombs until I’m back. ::glance at Miranda:: Uh, I mean, at all. Don't build any explosives, or implosives, at all. Obviously.

Maryse Dubois -> ((lol))

Cptn Swain -> Ithene> ::Lifts a brow at the results from K'hal::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> I swear I could kill that bloody Captain... ::Heads for the lift.::

Cptn Swain -> Ithene> ::heads for the lift::

Cptn Swain -> (( "I miss Swain," things you thought you'd never say. ))

Tandaris Admiran -> ::follows Hawthorne, leaving Will to finish the disassembly and start scanning for the fractures that might kill them all::

Maryse Dubois -> ((haha))

Hunter Matheson -> (::snort: :)

William Chocox -> Aye sir. ::gets back to work:: (w)He didn't say anything about disintegration devices though.

Hunter Matheson -> ::has a weird thought::

Tandaris Admiran -> ::Hawthorne:: On the bright side, as far as the list of things that might kill us all, this mission doesn't even rank in the top five.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> (( There's always a loophole, Chocox. ))

Tandaris Admiran -> This is _practically_ a vacation for us.

Hunter Matheson -> ::he looks around sick bay, idly checking out the area, especially the security cameras:::

Maryse Dubois -> ::Takes notes as other completed scans begin to come in. She then cross checks those.::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> ::She glanced at Tandy as she entered the lift.:: Better than giant scorpions, huh? Medical!

Tandaris Admiran -> Exactly.

Cptn Swain -> (( Hold my beer. ))

Maryse Dubois -> ::Frowns as she gets the same results.::

Maryse Dubois -> ((Oh gods))

Maryse Dubois -> It is definitely ship wide.

Hunter Matheson -> ::idly picks up a padd and sends a note to the doc::

Hunter Matheson -> ::everything we do is on camera:::

Hunter Matheson -> ::which means that the skipper can watch it all:::

William Chocox -> Alright, let's slowly bring her down. Veeerrry slowly. ::coordinates them as they bring it down::

Tandaris Admiran -> ::steps out of the TL and heads towards medical::

Maryse Dubois -> If she isn't watching, she will know soon enough.

Hunter Matheson -> ::like he's comparing files, he nods in serious mode, not suspicious mode::

Hunter Matheson -> ::shrug, he blanks the padd and puts it aside::

William Chocox -> Alright, let's get scanning. ::brings the scanner over::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> ::Alongside, Tandaris. She stepped into medical and looked around for the doctor, heading over when she spotted her.:: Doctor, you have news?

Maryse Dubois -> Unfortunately.

Hunter Matheson -> ::straightens what is left of his disappearing uniform::

Cptn Swain -> Ithene> ::exits the TL heading for sickbay::

Maryse Dubois -> ::Brings up Hunter's scans, showing them on the wall display.:: See anything different between the scan I just took and a previous one on file?

Hunter Matheson -> ::nice to know he's the guinea pig::

Tandaris Admiran -> Oh that's not good.

Maryse Dubois -> ::Highlights the cell counts.::

Cptn Swain -> Ithene> ::enters sickbay::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> ::She threw a glance at Hunter before studying the scans.:: Diminished cell count?

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> Rapid degeneration?

Maryse Dubois -> These are what they are now. ::Brings up another image.:: This is what they actually should be.

William Chocox -> ::scans the warp core::

Tandaris Admiran -> Well there goes our immune systems.

Cptn Swain -> (( Maybe Hunter's just defective and we need a new one. ))

Maryse Dubois -> It's not just him. ::Projects the other completed files.::

Maryse Dubois -> ((lol))

Hunter Matheson -> (hm... it was the beer, right? Wrong vintage? Wrong brew?)

Maryse Dubois -> And more are coming in as the scans are completing.

Tandaris Admiran -> ((It keeps working with the Khals. We just keep sending them back when the trial period is over and we never get charged!))

Tandaris Admiran -> Do you have a theory as to the cause?

Tandaris Admiran -> Is it something we can shield against?

Hunter Matheson -> (::slowly pounds his head against the wall: :)

Cptn Swain -> Ithene> ::Lifts a brow:: Interesting.

Maryse Dubois -> I hope we can shield it. Because every time we use the slipstream, it makes it worse.

Tandaris Admiran -> Is the damage reversible, or is Mr. Matheson going to die a long and painful death? ::says this perhaps slightly louder than he should::

Hunter Matheson -> ::back atcha:: Long and painful, probably.

Hunter Matheson -> Doc says like the egg goo, but worse.

Maryse Dubois -> You mentioned, immune systems. They would stop along with muscle functions and then mental, before we simply just fade.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> We're not going to be using the slipstream again.

Cptn Swain -> Ithene> Could long-tem exposure create paranoid delusions?

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> ::She threw Ithene a pointed look.:: You think?

Maryse Dubois -> ::Nods to Ithene.::

Maryse Dubois -> Luckily none of us are in that phase yet.

Cptn Swain -> Ithene>Actually, I think someone might be.

Hunter Matheson -> : :blink::

William Chocox -> ::completes the scan:: Well, that is certainly not good.

Hunter Matheson -> ::backs off::

Maryse Dubois -> Are you suggesting the Captain?

Cptn Swain -> Ithene> ::nods:

Tandaris Admiran -> ::claps his hands:: Remind me when we get back in touch with the fleet to call in some favours and figured out who green lit these tests without doing all this work beforehand.

Cptn Swain -> Ithene> ::Looks to Miranda::

Hunter Matheson -> ::stop...stare::

Maryse Dubois -> ::Ponders.:: The routine physicals were called off for her, despite protest...

Tandaris Admiran -> ::Maryse:: I think it's time you pulled medical rank.

Maryse Dubois -> I think you are right.

Cptn Swain -> Ithene> ::Nods:: I agree.

William Chocox -> +Tandy+ Commander, when you have a moment, since I feel Doctor Dubois' news is more important on "list of things about to kill us" I have the results of the scan back.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> Yes. ::Looks to Maryse.:: We've seen no sign that we're being followed, even though we've been still for quite some time.

Tandaris Admiran -> +Chocox+ Can you give us the short version?

William Chocox -> +Tandy+ The drive core is shot to hell and back.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> At the very least, you need to scan her.

William Chocox -> +Tandy+ Or will be if we keep this up.

Maryse Dubois -> ::Grabs a medkit.:: She may fight back...

Tandaris Admiran -> +Chocox+ Thank you.

Tandaris Admiran -> ::Maryse:: That's what we have security for.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> Let's see if we can get her down here on her own, first.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> If she refuses, then we'll get security involved.

Maryse Dubois -> ::Nods.::

Cptn Swain -> Ithene> ::Frowns:: I hope it won't come to that.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> +Captain Illyan+ Captain, this is Commander Hawthorne. We have new information on operation of the slipstream drive. Could you please meet me in sickbay? There are scans you need to see.

Cptn Swain -> Illyan> +Hawthorne+ On my way.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> ::She lifted her eyebrows.:: Well... that was easy.

Tandaris Admiran -> She might be suspicious or defensive if she comes here and finds all of us lying in wait.

Maryse Dubois -> ::Nods.:: Yeah

Tandaris Admiran -> We should hide! ::goes over to a biobed and tries to figure out how to use it as a hiding space::

Maryse Dubois -> ((lol))

Cptn Swain -> Ithene> ::looks at Tandaris:: That's the Tandaris we all know and... well love is a strong word.

Maryse Dubois -> If you must, you could use my office. It has a live feed to sickbay.

Hunter Matheson -> ::stands inside the door on the blind side:::

Tandaris Admiran -> ::Maryse:: Mmm, yes. ::resists urge to make a finger-steepling motion:: I am looking forward to this.

Cptn Swain -> Illyan> ::Arrives, looking much calmer than she did a few hours ago::

Hunter Matheson -> ::as the door slides closed, he presses the lockdown button::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> Captain. Thank you for coming. ::She waved a hand at Maryse.:: Doctor Dubois has some interesting scans and thinks the entire crew should be screened, including you.

Maryse Dubois -> ::Nods.:: Captain. ::Shows her the displays.::

Cptn Swain -> Illyan> ::looks up:: Commander, Doctor

Cptn Swain -> Ithene> ::watching with Tandaris in the CMO office::

Maryse Dubois -> ::Has the scanning node to her tricorder palmed.::

Tandaris Admiran -> ::ithene:: You know her better than me. How do you think she's going to react?

Cptn Swain -> Illyan> So, what is it you've found?

Cptn Swain -> Ithene> ::Shrugs:: Normally? Annoyed but understanding of the facts. Now? Denial? Shock? Thermonuclear explosion?

Maryse Dubois -> ::Shows highlighted numbers.:: The crew is beginning to degenerate. We believe some faster than others.

Hunter Matheson -> ::standing, all casual like, next to the doc:::

Cptn Swain -> Illyan>:Frowns, moves closer to the readouts:

Maryse Dubois -> ::Looks to Miranda to proceed.::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> The slipstream has caused microfractures in the ship, and apparently, is having some sort of impact on the ship's organic tissue, as well.

Maryse Dubois -> ::With Illyan focused on the readouts, she begins her scans.::

Cptn Swain -> Illyan> The break down in limbic system... those could be caused by exposure to radiation from the core, but we thought we had solved that with additional shielding.

Tandaris Admiran -> Maryse is so sneaky. I approve.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> Apparently not.

Cptn Swain -> Illyan> ::Frowns, exhales:: I suppose you are going to tell me that I've also been exposed to high levels of it and that my judgment is impaired?

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> If you've been working on these cores, yes. The radiation can cause mental degeneration, as well as physical degeneration.

Cptn Swain -> Ithene> ::Lifts brow::

Cptn Swain -> Illyan> ::Exhales::

Maryse Dubois -> That is what I intend to find out Captain. ::Finishes her scan, bringing up a past record for compairison. Starts studying the results.::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> Doctor Dubois and her team will be scanning the entire crew to determine how wide-spread this problem is.

Cptn Swain -> Illyan> There's no need.

Cptn Swain -> Illyan> You'll find my mental pathways have begun to degrade beyond repairable rates. I... I had hoped we had fixed the shielding and that this would work and that my life's work wouldn't be wasted.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> ::She let out a breath.:: Well, that makes things a lot easier.

Cptn Swain -> Illyan> I see that we didn't.

Cptn Swain -> Ithene> ::exhales::

Maryse Dubois -> ::Finishes and confirms.:: I am sorry Captain.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> Captain, I insist that you transfer command to me, effective immediately.

Cptn Swain -> Illyan> Commander, I am turning command over to you. You can have security escort me to my quarters.

Hunter Matheson -> ::casual walk to the door to enter the security code to end lockdown::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> Matheson, please see the Captain to her quarters and confine her there.

Hunter Matheson -> ::straightens up:: Yes, ma'am. :;looks to Illyan::

Tandaris Admiran -> ::Ithene:: Why doesn't this sort of thing happen more often to us?

Cptn Swain -> Ithene> What do you mean?

Tandaris Admiran -> Solving our problems with a minimum of complication and fuss.

Annisha -> (night all)

Hunter Matheson -> ::he presses the security call button on his belt and two arrive as the lift door opens:: Captain. ::motions for her to enter::

Cptn Swain -> Ithene> ::smirks, despite herself::

Cptn Swain -> Illyan> ::follows::

Cptn Swain -> ...and...

Hunter Matheson -> ::since she is non-hostile, compliant, they move without incident to her quarters:::

Maryse Dubois -> ::Sighs in relief.::

Hunter Matheson -> ::and orders the guard to secure the area::

Maryse Dubois -> I'll have a solution ready for distribution to the crew.
