USS Manticore 4.5.2010

[Cmdr JFarrington 0]

=/\= USS MANTICORE BRIEFING #603, STARDATE 51004.05 =/\=

The Manticore was returning to Atarxis to return Lt. Morran's "travelling companions" to their home when two of them started to exhibit molecular changes to their skin just like an entire lab of scientists back on Cold Station 9. We are headed to the nearest Starbase and have declared the ship a quarantine zone, just in time for three members of the crew to begin exhibiting similar symptoms.

T'Prise -> :: Sitting on a biobed in sickbay, perusing a data padd while she waits for her test results. ::

Hilee -> ::N'Diri:: Listening to helm report their position approaching Cold #9::

Keb -> ::at helm::

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::finishing going over the yyaio's scan results, looking for signs of the same transformation that the scratchers are going through::

Eva Jaz -> ::working and scratching::

McFly -> ::literally has an itchy trigger finger::

Hilee -> ::At the Main Console monitoring the engines as they give all they haveL::

Kansas Kenickie -> Mele!!

Admiral Atragon-9 -> <<those with the itchies are: Cal and Dukath - NPCs; and McFly, Hilee, Eva Jaz, Kansas>>

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::exiting sick bay for the bridge, having given her report to Kyle but knowing he's busy with too much at the moment:::

kyle_mele -> ::glances over at Kansas::

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::packs the scan results into a PADD and looks them over as she turns to walk into the room where T'Prise is sitting::

Kansas Kenickie -> is there anything you can give us for this itching?

MC_Escher -> ::gets up and heads into the TL:: Sick bay! ::whoosh::

Eva Jaz -> ::walks over to Mele, scratching her scalp ::

T'Prise -> :: Looks up at t'Tamarak approaches. ::

T'Prise -> *as

McFly -> how about an analgesic cream? the emh is always trying to force one on me

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::pacing the TL as it moves to the bridge:::

LtCdrFaldek -> ::sitting quietly on his bio-bed watching the insanity::

Hilee -> ::Looks at the Ops officer, Helm...assume a standard orbit....set to Red Alert...look for any other star ships entering the system, We are at Full Blockade.....Advise when our other ship arrives.

Kansas Kenickie -> I am not going to let us turn into those people over there... ::Looking irritated::

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> Jolan tru, rekkhai. ::absently, approaching and tapping something on the bed, then on the padd::

kyle_mele -> ::backs away from her slowly:: Uh, yes.

Eva Jaz -> Mele > Chief .. :: scratch , scratch scratch:: I'm not sure I'll get anywhere before it's time to put us in suspended animation .. for the moment all I know is that Vulcans seems to be immune ... and that human dna , even diluted like mine aren't ... so

Cmdr JFarrington -> <Hilee, was that N'Diri?>

kyle_mele -> ::worried at Jaz, as she's Trill - and so is he - meaning he's not immune either::

precip -> Admiral...red alert?

Hilee -> <<yes...sorry>>

T'Prise -> :: t'Tamarak :: Are the tests complete?

Hilee -> *N'Diri>>

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::enters the bridge, moving to OPS:::

kyle_mele -> Yes, Kansas. It will only ease the itching though - the underlying problem will continue to develop, unfortunately.

Eva Jaz -> important to find if Morran is immune because of something in his El-aurian physiology counterbalancing his human genes ... or it's because of the fact that he infected himself with the echococcosis modified strain , which may be protecting him somehow

Kansas Kenickie -> ::Points at Mele:: Where you backing up to

Admiral Atragon-9 -> No, Mitar, we can stay at Yellow Alert and have the ship on quarantine lockdown

precip -> ::notes Farrington arrive and take her position::

Eva Jaz -> ::scratches her left leg enough to break a nail ::

kyle_mele -> Commander, you are contagious.

precip -> Aye sir..

Garnoopy -> ::tappity tap::

Keb -> ::smiles at Jami, sort of wanting to ask, but being professional and not asking::

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::Keb:: You can patch me over, Commander.

Kansas Kenickie -> I am behind this Force field, I am not going to just at you yet

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::gives her a reassuring nod as she logs in - noncommittal expression:::

Keb -> ::nods to Jami:: Aye commander. ::sends ops back to its own console::

MC_Escher -> ::arrives in sick bay, stands in the middle of the room, and demands angrily:: What's the progress of the analysis of the sample I sent you guys?

McFly -> ::thinking-- I haven't been this itchy since that week I spent on that tallarian freighter that didn't have showers

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::checking full dept and systems status:::

precip -> How odd...we are advertising ourselves with our Quarantine beacons..definitely a new situation..

Hilee -> ::Tapping away:: +Garn+ Sir both star drives are well within full stress limits....however I must advise ....we are burning up our reserve of fuel....sir.

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> T'Prise> Ie...they are. You will be happy to hear, rekkhai, that you are as free from any evidence of molecular transformation as I am. Which is to say, you show na sign of it. ::pauses, eyes her sideways:: Do na ask why. Because I do na know.

kyle_mele -> ::feeling silly now:: Force field. Right.

Keb -> ::checks course, trying to distract herself a bit::

kyle_mele -> ::ignoring Escher for the moment::

Eva Jaz -> ::waves at Escher :: Commander may I talk to you for a second

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::hears Escher barking something out in the main bay and groans inwardly; this day is becoming wildly tiring::

LtCdrFaldek -> ::looking at Mele and KK, shakes head slightly::

Eva Jaz -> ::itching and scratching ::

T'Prise -> :: Hears Escher yelling in the main room and quirks an eyebrow. Then addresses t'Tamarak :: It is only logical to conclude I was not infected because I was not exhibiting any symptoms of the disease.

Garnoopy -> +Hilee+ Burning up our reserve?

T'Prise -> :: Slides off the biobed. :: May I return to duty?

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::tapping the console, bringing herself up to speed, aside to Keb:: How're we doing for ETA?

Hilee -> +Garnoopy+ Aye sir....the order was to go to max warp....we have been running both star drives for 1+ hrs., and we are depleting our reserves.....sir, just an FYI

LtCdrFaldek -> ::assumes he will be released soon, as he feels just fine, and seemingly had a good talk with the Counselor::

Eva Jaz -> ah! :: let's out a small cry seeing that the back of her hand is now slightly greenish ::

McFly -> ::lies back on the bed scratching; thinking-- I wish I had pointed ears right now

MC_Escher -> ::walks over to Eva impatiently:: Yes?

Kansas Kenickie -> ::Pokes FF:: Mele... itching relief!

Garnoopy -> +Hilee+ Roger

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> You could have been a carrier without showing symptoms. ::watches her impatience to depart and smirks faintly:: Ie...you are na of any use to me if you are na turning into a lizard, a fault for which I'm sure you are regularly chastised.

Hilee -> ::Tapping away routing power as needed to the grid::

Keb -> ::glances at the chart:: At present speed, we'll be there in 45 minutes, Commander.

Eva Jaz -> ::scratches her greenish hand :: Escher > Is there anything in the modified echococcosis strand you analyzed that could explain some sort of immunity from this new disease or transformation in Lt Morran ?

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::curt nod, wondering what exactly we'll do when we get there:::

LtCdrFaldek -> ::tries to get a Doctor's attention, any doctor::

precip -> ::of all the things he hates battling...germs are the worst::

T'Prise -> :: Quirks her brow at t'Tamarak. :: If that was meant as a quip, I fail to see any humor in this situation. :: Dismisses t'Tamarak and goes to join Escher and Jaz. ::

Eva Jaz -> ::scratches the side of her face enough to made it bloody ::

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::long, slow sigh as she sits back for a breather:::

McFly -> ::walks over to KK; pulls her away from the force field and to the bed:: calm down, babe, we're all irritated from the itching

kyle_mele -> ::sideglance to Kansas:: Right. All I can give you is an analgesic cream, it's likely to do very little.

MC_Escher -> ::glances nervously at her greenish hand:: We have no idea. Look, T'Prise sent the data on a modified virus that may cure Morran of his problem. I need you to analyze the sample to check to make sure it won't kill him instead

kyle_mele -> Until I understand the source of this .. there's not much I can do.

T'Prise -> :: Moves next to Escher. :: Commander?

precip -> ::notes a lull on the bridge and walks over to Cmdr JFarringtom::

Kansas Kenickie -> ::Scratches::

McFly -> hey doc, what's that I heard about suspended animation? that would probably stop the itching, right?

Eva Jaz -> ::her turn to be slightly irritated :: COmmander , I don't think I have much time .... I'm turning into a FROG here !!!

Hilee -> ::N'Diri:: Upon entering orbital position:: Xo> Position fighters and support craft for the blockade......NO ONE other than our other ship enters....or leaves unchallenged....understood?.

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::glances up at Precip's approach:::

Eva Jaz -> ::goes on to scratch furiously ::

precip -> Commander...a word if possible?

Keb -> ::looks up at Precip as well, and then back at her console::

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::grimaces at T'Prise's back and follows her out into the main bay, turning to walk towards Eva in time to catch her last comment:: Na much change, then? ::dryly::

McFly -> ::scratches himself and tries to help scratch KK too::

Eva Jaz -> :: looks at Escher :: Sorry Commander , I'll take a look at the data while I still can

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::gives him a glance that says sure:::

LtCdrFaldek -> ::pulls his legs off the bed, sitting up::

Kansas Kenickie -> ::Sits on her hands::

MC_Escher -> ::holds up a finger to T'Prise, closes his eyes, open:: Doctor, you're saying that because of your own medical issues you are refusing to attempt to save the life of one of your own patients?

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::second thought:: Here..or private?

Hilee -> ::Xo:: > N'Diri> Aye sir...assigning and alerting all personnel...now sir.

precip -> I think Private Commander.

kyle_mele -> ::glances around Sickbay at the scratching half-amphibian, half humanoids, the impatient Cardassian, a nervous Science officer, etc.. :: Okay, everyone.. BE QUIET!!!!!

Kansas Kenickie -> ::Lifts brow::

kyle_mele -> Caves of Mak'ala, you people are too much. Escher, you have access to the same computers we do.

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::head snaps up as Mele barks out at them::

LtCdrFaldek -> ::looks at Mele, doesn't say anything::

McFly -> ::raises hand:: suspended animation... just saying

Keb -> ::sidelong glance at Jami and Precip::

kyle_mele -> My doctors are turning into FROGS

kyle_mele -> Go do your own research

Eva Jaz -> :: bites her tongue reallllllllllllllly hard :: Escher > No ........ I'm only saying that I don't know if I'll be able to work much longer , if I base my calculation on the last patients , I will have to be put into suspended animation pretty soon

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::exhale, looking at Keb:: Passing it back to you.

Eva Jaz -> :: loves Mele for a second ::

T'Prise -> :: Interjects :: Sir, I believe it would be prudent to return to the science bay at this time. Although Lieutenant Morran's situation may be dire, the needs to the many outweigh the needs of the one.

kyle_mele -> Faldek, SIT STILL until we release you, your issue is NOT that pressing.

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::stands:: Admiral - may I use the ready room for a minute?

Keb -> ::nods to Jami:: Yes'm.

Eva Jaz -> ::looks grateful ::

Kansas Kenickie -> ::thinks Mele has lost his mind::

kyle_mele -> McFly, SHUT IT.

Keb -> ::sets up the ops slave on her console::

Hilee -> :: N'Diri:: Ops> Secure channel to Manticore....ASAP

LtCdrFaldek -> ::sits still, as he is no longer laying down::

Admiral Atragon-9 -> Yes Jami, go ahead

McFly -> ::nods:: got it

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::mild sardonic smirk growing on her face throughout this little tirade, more at the situation than at any of those involved::

Garnoopy -> ::heads into the TL::

Garnoopy -> Bridge

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::nod:: Thank you, Sir. ::motions for Precip to follow and they enter:::

kyle_mele -> The rest of you, sit down and find you some cream somewhere and put it on and stop acting like kids. We're working the best we can, here, now stop trying to make the rest of us your personal bed servants and LET US WORK.

precip -> ::nods at the Admiral and then to Jami following her to the RR::

kyle_mele -> Any questions?

MC_Escher -> ::gives an evil look to Mele, and turns to T'Prise:: Let's go. ::heads to the TL::

Eva Jaz -> :: applauds in her head ::

Kansas Kenickie -> ::Looks at McFly:: I can stun you

kyle_mele -> ::glances around, barely giving anyone a chance to answer:: Good.

Eva Jaz -> :: scratches her green scaly arm ::

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::turns as the door closes, a pleasant expression to his obvious expression of concern:::

Eva Jaz -> Mele > Boss...

McFly -> that actually might help with the itching

kyle_mele -> ::slinks to a console, beginning to tap::

kyle_mele -> ::nods to Jaz:: Yes, Doctor?

T'Prise -> :: Gives Jaz and Mele a somewhat apologetic look and turns to follow Escher. ::

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::could probably guess, but will let him take the lead:: How can I help you?

Hilee -> ::N'Diri:: Ops> Send coded....Our position, and acknowledge our orders.....Standing by.

precip -> Counselor..::change in title noticed:: Is Mr. Faldek...going to be able return to duty? Or is this a question I am not privy to an answer yet.

McFly -> a wide beam stun all over, i bet that'd feel good

Garnoopy -> ::steps onto bridge::

Garnoopy -> ::moves to the engineering station::

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::moves over towards Mele with the PADD of data from the yyaio's scans::

Eva Jaz -> ::shows her arm :: I don't think we have much time ... We will need to be put in suspended animation soon too , or the cellular damage will be irreversible ... I'll guesstimate an hour max , I'll work as much as I can til then

Eva Jaz -> :: scratches ::

Cmdr JFarrington -> That's not something I can determine, Commander.

precip -> ::folds arms across his chest ..not leaning against anything::

Cmdr JFarrington -> I can't discuss his case with you - specifically - but I can say that I don't believe him to be suicidal.

MC_Escher -> ::in TL, bursts out to T'Prise:: These people are doctors! You'd think they'd be better at treating people!

Keb -> ::sits back in her chair, trying to think about the two posts she's filling and not the possibility that it's Faldek they're chatting about::

Kansas Kenickie -> ::Slaps leg::

Cmdr JFarrington -> However, for him to return to duty, Dr. Mele has to certify him fit.

Eva Jaz -> Mele> <q> and thanks for backing me up there with Commander Escher .. :: scratches her left ear raw ::

kyle_mele -> ::nods at Jaz:: I'm sorry, Doctor. Do the best you can. Continue to save your progress and I'll be sure to keep up with it so I can take over.. when.. ::trails off::

T'Prise -> :: Stares at Escher for a moment. :: Sir, it is more important they find the cause of disease that is infecting the crew.

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::relaxing against A9's desk:: And Dr. Mele is a little busy at the moment.

kyle_mele -> And put some cream on.

Eva Jaz -> ::nods and tries to smile ::

Cmdr JFarrington -> With other matters.

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::reaches sideways and grabs Eva's arm, stilling it from the scratching, and looks towards Mele:: Rekkhai...

kyle_mele -> ::nod at Jai:: Go ahead.

Eva Jaz -> Jai> Yes?

precip -> So Doctor Mele will make the decision if he is mentally capable of duty.

Keb -> ::succeeds in not hitting a random star. This is quite an achievement under some circumstances. Not particularly these, however.::

kyle_mele -> ::tappity tapping, comparing data::

precip -> ::winces knowing that didn’t come out right::

Eva Jaz -> ::scratches with her free arm ::

MC_Escher -> ::puts head in hands:: Yes. Yes. I know. I just...gaah. ::looks up at T'Prise:: How do you do it, T'Prise? How can you not let this... ::gestures around him:: ...insanity get to you?

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::slowly, choosing her words carefully:: It may not be a matter of mentally capable, Mitar.

Eva Jaz -> Jai>:: urgency in her voice :: I need to get back to work , if you'd give me my arm back please ...

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::releases her arm:: Do na scratch. It will make it worse.

precip -> ::blinks:: His wounds from the Holodeck...I was led to believe they would heal..?

T'Prise -> :: Puts a hand on his arm. :: Logic, logic is the beginning of wisdom.

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> Mele> Erei'Riov T'Prise was just here...I have examined molecular scans of her tissue and she is na showing similar symptoms.

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::quickly adding:: There may be something else... ::small hand wave:: besides that at play.

Eva Jaz -> ::under her breath :: Thank you Captain Obvious ... :: goes back to her console scratching again ::

Cmdr JFarrington -> I just want to be absolutely sure he's . . . healthy.

kyle_mele -> ::ponders:: The other Vulcan. Unaffected as well?

Eva Jaz -> ::thinks , thinks , thinks .... runs back to Mele and Jai ::

precip -> Alright. I do believe I understand ..that his clearance to duty is dependent on what comes from Medical...

Eva Jaz -> Doctors ..::scratching her now completely green and scaleish arm ::

precip -> Not by me.. but by a doctor.

Kansas Kenickie -> <<Eva, aren't you behind the Force field with us other itchies?>>

Hilee -> ::Waiting impatiently...:: Ops> Send direct code and message to Manticore we have arrived and are in position and setting up the blockade as ordered...get me someone on the phone....now please.

Garnoopy -> ::tappity tap::

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::noting a bit of frustration on his part:: I wish I could tell you more, Commander.

MC_Escher -> ::pulls his arm away:: Wisdom is founded in knowledge. The brain - at least the human brain - can't learn without emotions. They're integral. They're inescapable. ::looks at her:: You're living a lie. ::gets off the TL::

Eva Jaz -> Mele & Jai > Do you think there's a way to extract from vulcan DNA the protein that makes them immune even though they have been exposed as well , and turn it into a vaccine or a cure ?

LtCdrFaldek -> ::remembering a song and slowly starts bobbing his head with the beat going in his head::

Eva Jaz -> :: scratches her scales discreetly ::

Cmdr JFarrington -> Yes. His attending physician, which I'm not.

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> Ie, rekkhai. Neither Vulcan was affected.

precip -> Curious...he is aware of certain regulations he broke, and must remain on his record.

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::nod:: And he realizes that.

McFly -> I never knew lizards were this itchy, it's gotta suck to be one

Kansas Kenickie -> :::Paces:: how can they leave us here like this?!

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> Eva> Possible. We'd need to determine exactly what was cuasing the transformation first, but I can do further research on the tissue samples I have.

LtCdrFaldek -> ::shoots a look at McFly::

kyle_mele -> ::hms:: That depends, Eva.. is it a protein we can isolate - and furthermore - introduce to other humanoids?

precip -> Alright. Very well. When do you think I should speak to him...after his attending physician gives the all clear?

Keb -> ::notices a blip on Ops focuses:: Admiral, we have a hail from the Carthage.

T'Prise -> :: Stares after Escher for a moment, a fleeting look of affront crossing her features. Then goes rigid. Follows him quietly in the science bay. :: Orders, sir?

Eva Jaz -> ::looks desperate :: I don't know , and :: voice breaks a little :: I'm out of time ...

Cmdr JFarrington -> I think you could probably speak to him now - if you're free to go to sick bay.

Cmdr JFarrington -> Except..that there is a quarantine in place. ::small sigh::

Cmdr JFarrington -> So..maybe not.

precip -> ::sighs:: But you said sickbay was extremely.....

precip -> yes.

Eva Jaz -> ::looks at her arms , trying not to cry ::

McFly -> ::oblivious to Faldek:: they're trying, if nothing else we'll go into suspended animation soon enough

Garnoopy -> ::goes over reports::

precip -> Thank you for your time Counselor.

Cmdr JFarrington -> Of course, Commander.

Kansas Kenickie -> So?! how about now!!

LtCdrFaldek -> ::just smiles and continues listening to the tune in his head::

precip -> ::grins slightly...and gestures towards the door::

MC_Escher -> ::braces himself on a console, looking away from T'Prise:: Analyze the virus in detail. See if it has any detectable negative affect. If not, head down to sickbay and administer it yourself.

Keb -> ::A9:: Shall I acknowledge the Carthage's hail?

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::starts for the door, then turns back:: There is another way.

Hilee -> ::N'Diri:: +Manticore+ Be advised we are in position....awaiting out other ships arrival, and setting up blockade as ordered.

Eva Jaz -> ::hears McFly and Kansas :: Mele> Sir , I would recommend putting Cmdrs Kenickie and McFly in suspended animation as of now , I'll try to hold off a little longer

McFly -> Soon, just stay calm alright

Cmdr JFarrington -> You could ask for a secure comm to sick bay. Speak to him privately that way.

precip -> Bolianish:: There is only one way out of this ready room to my knowledge...

Cmdr JFarrington -> The conference room has a secure feed.

Kansas Kenickie -> I AM CALM!!

T'Prise -> :: Looks up again at Escher. :: I can analyze the virus, but I am not a physician, I cannot administer the serum.

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::silent for a moment, then says roughtly:: We will find something.

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> Mele> I can do comparative scans on the tissue samples we have, look for common foreign elements, something we might be able to counteract.

McFly -> ::moves over to Eva:: you could probably use a little night night yourself

Admiral Atragon-9 -> Yes Keb

Vilanne -> <<::wipes forehead:: Sorry, I'm here now>>

LtCdrFaldek -> ::looks at KK:: And they thought I needed help...

Cmdr JFarrington -> :giving him a blank look at the Bolianism, then gets it:::

Cmdr JFarrington -> <Sorry you're here? We're not!>

Keb -> +N'Diri+ Acknowledged.

Kansas Kenickie -> ::Snaps at him:: you do!

Eva Jaz -> :: nods at McFly :: I know ..:: scratching ::

kyle_mele -> ::nods to Jai:: Make it so.

Keb -> ::looks up:: They're in position and awaiting the other ships, Admiral.

LtCdrFaldek -> ::thought he said that quietly enough::

MC_Escher -> ::looks up at T'Prise:: Something tells me sickbay will have their hands full. This is the only way we can make sure Morran gets his treatment.

Kansas Kenickie -> ::Sneers:: freak

Vilanne -> ::comes in from a very long break, wondering where everyone is on sickbay::

precip -> I am not certain if our status.....would allow a lenghty needed conversation. But it is high on my objectives Commander.

kyle_mele -> ::moving closer to the force field::

Eva Jaz -> :: cannot think or work anymore , itching is overwhelming ::

LtCdrFaldek -> I apologize Kansas.

precip -> I have no idea what the Admiral is planning to do at Cold Station Nine.

kyle_mele -> Doctor Vilanne.. prepare two suspension chambers.

Eva Jaz -> Mele > make that three chief ...

kyle_mele -> Three.

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::nods, resuming her progress towards the door::

Vilanne -> Yes, sir... :;concerned that she just walked in, but goes to prepare them:: Three then?

T'Prise -> :: Staring at Escher curiously again. :: Sir, what you are suggesting is outside the purview of our duties. I would suggest that you consider what you are asking.

kyle_mele -> Three.

Hilee -> ::N'Diri:: + Manticore+ Please be advised...all AT members that have been exposed to.....a foreign agent have been isolated along with certain occupants of cold#9....on the surface....we are investigating. Carthage out

Admiral Atragon-9 -> <<we are headed to the nearest Starbase, but the

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::nods and moves over towards the nearest console, inputting the information into the computer and starting to look for commonalities::

Admiral Atragon-9 -> Carthage is blockading Cold Station Nine>>

Vilanne -> ::sets up the containment field and opens the chambers, making sure they were clear from the last episode::

Eva Jaz -> ::puts a PADD on a table nearby :: Mele> Chief , In case you can't find a cure can you give PADD to Lt Commander Hilee please ?

precip -> ::exits to the bridge::

MC_Escher -> ::gives T'Prise a laser look:: What's more important, T'Prise? Obeying protocol or saving Morran's life?

McFly -> ::walks back over to KK while scratching himself furiously:: finally, we're going to take a little nap

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::moving swiftly to her console:: Update, Keb?

Admiral Atragon-9 -> Keb, send an Ack

precip -> ::returns to Tactical::

Keb -> ::nods to A9:: +Carthage+ Acknowledged.

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::hearing A9, sits quickly to bring herself up to speed:::

Hilee -> ::Allotting additional power to medical as needed::

Vilanne -> ::glances out at Eva, worried with her tone, but finishes up the chambers and reports back to Mele:: Chief, three are set up, the containment fields around them ready to activate while moving folks into them.

Keb -> ::sends Ops back to Jami:: Carthage is on the wire; they're in position.

Garnoopy -> ::listening to the bridge chatter::

T'Prise -> :: Stares right back at Escher, a steely glint coming into her eye. :: You are being irrational. Your concern for the Lieutenant is valid, yet you are allowing it to override the safety of the ship and its entire crew.

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::nods:: Did we acknowledge?

LtCdrFaldek -> ::starts humming the song in his head, quietly::

Keb -> ::nods to Jami:: Yes'm.

Eva Jaz -> :: nods at Vil , making her way to the stasis beds ::

Kansas Kenickie -> ::Goes back to Pacing:: it's hot in here

MC_Escher -> ::throws up hands:: How would it endanger the ship and crew to give him the injection ourselves?

Eva Jaz -> ::motions to McFly and Kansas to follow ::

kyle_mele -> ::nods to Vil:: Go for it.

McFly -> ::tries to smile:: that's cause you're here babe

Kansas Kenickie -> ::Follows Eva::

T'Prise -> Have you not considered the possibility that Morran is the source of the infection?

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::snaps, a little irritably, at the pacing Kansas and gestures for her to go that-a-way towards Vil and the stasis beds::

Vilanne -> ::motions, from afar, to the group:: There are some ammenities in there for you folks.

Eva Jaz -> ::half-smile:: At least we won't be itchy in there

precip -> Chief Garnoopy...

Eva Jaz -> Vil> Thank you Doc ::sits on her bed ::

Garnoopy -> ::looks at Precip:: Yes?

T'Prise -> Or that the box he brought aboard and its contents are the cause?

MC_Escher -> ::blinks:: How would that make us want not to cure him?

Vilanne -> ::after the group enters, sets down the containment field:: Ready for the doors to close?

precip -> Gratitude for your consideration for constructing a ....highly mobile utilility chair for me

McFly -> ::climbs into his bed:: at least I get to sleep in

Garnoopy -> Anytime man. Just watch out for the lasers... the aim is a little off.

Eva Jaz -> ::makes a sign for Vil to wait a second :: +Hilee+ Mon Amour, just want to let you know I love you ok ?

Kansas Kenickie -> ::Climbs into the chamber::

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::pauses in her work, hearing Garn:::

precip -> ::a grin is forced on Precip’s face from that one::

Keb -> ::glances at Jami, still preoccupied with Faldek's condition but trying to force herself not to ask::

Eva Jaz -> ::lies down ::

McFly -> ::hand inside his tunic scratching; to KK:: see you in the morning, babe ::winks::

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::as gossip flies through the ship, she puts the kabosh on it with a universal text:::

Kansas Kenickie -> See ya soon love ::Smiles::

Admiral Atragon-9 -> ::overhearing Garn and Precip:: I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that

Vilanne -> ::presses the button on the control panel, and the chamber doors slowly close and seal, the room pressurizes and they are in a very secure little hobbit of a room.::

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::signing it "Cmdr" to be sure they notice:::

T'Prise -> :: Still staring him down. :: By diverting medical attention away from the Lieutenant and assuming that we should treat him, you are negating the value of the lives of those who are infected.

McFly -> ::lays in the bed:: ...........you know I really want to hit something right now

Hilee -> ::Monitoring the power demands from medical<<increased of course from the containment fiields>> and the overall demands from the Manticore as she hauls the load tpwards the star baser::

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::changing it to command priority::grins:::

Garnoopy -> ::taps his panel::

precip -> Of course sir.

Vilanne -> ::returns to Mele's side:: Chief, Chamber is sealed, and the containment field, well, I just left it up as a precaution.

Hilee -> ::Tapps::+Eva+ My love...I love you as well...what is going on???

MC_Escher -> Well, that's why we analyze the virus ourselves. Mele basically gave us the prerogative to decide whether its dangerous ourselves anyway. We're not diverting attention away medical, we're taking it off their hands. They asked us to.

T'Prise -> If Lieutenant Morran is the cause of the infection, our medical personnel will need to treat him accordingly, which they cannot do if unauthorized medication was administered.

LtCdrFaldek -> ::steeples his fingers, looking at the doctors::

kyle_mele -> ::nodding:: Good decision. ::sighs, rubs his earlobe, scratching his head a little:: This just doesn't make any sense.

Hilee -> *towards/base

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::poking through the data on the five itching people; looking for something that has become a commonality between three humans, a Trh'ill, and a Kling'hann...::

Eva Jaz -> ::can't answer ::

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::reply to "aggravated on deck 17"::: Go for it and I'll turn off your gravity.:::

Vilanne -> ::frowns:: Boss.... are you itching?

MC_Escher -> ::fists clenching:: You won't let me do this, will you?

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::blows out an exhale:::

kyle_mele -> ::glances at her absent mindedly:: Well, yes.. ::laughs:: Oh

kyle_mele -> Nothing like that.

kyle_mele -> This is just perplexing.

McFly -> ::feels peace like that of an aged man having fallen asleep on his death-bed::

Vilanne -> Are you sure you haven't been infected?

Keb -> ::realizing they're getting close to the starbase::

T'Prise -> I understand your concern for Lieutenant Morran. But I will not allow you to take an action which may result in disciplinary action.

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::a couple possible matches ping up:: Aha.

kyle_mele -> ::waves her off:: Of course I haven't. We've taken the utmost precautions.

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::filters sick bay comms to urgent only::

Eva Jaz -> ::resting peacefully in lalaland::

precip -> ::contemplates leaving the bridge for that suggested call...but is not sure::

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::Garnoopy:: How are we doing with containment, Commander?

MC_Escher -> ::barely speaks through gritted teeth:: I would deny you had any part in this, obviously. The blame would be on me and me alone.

Hilee -> ::Looking up::+Eva_Jaz+...What is going on?????

Keb -> ::looks up--general announcement:: Approaching Starbase 801 in 14 minutes.

Garnoopy -> ::Jami:: The protocols have been set up....

Kansas Kenickie -> ::the Hills are alive with the sound of Music!::

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::hearing Garn::puts Keb's announcement to all depts:::

Vilanne -> Yes, we have been very cautions, but Chief... your skin is blotchy where you were itching. I think we'd better do a workup on you

LtCdrFaldek -> ::stretches::

precip -> Admiral...just what are we going to do once we reach Starbase 801? Do we expect specialized personnel from the station to board us?

kyle_mele -> ::snicker:: Doctor, I'm Trill. My skin is ALWAYS splotchy.

Hilee -> ::Tapps:: +Medical+ What is going on??....medical please respond.....

kyle_mele -> Especially on my sides.

T'Prise -> :: Watches Escher for a moment, as if she is pondering something. :: Commander, I cannot allow you to take a risk that might endanger your career.

kyle_mele -> From the neck.. all the way down.

Admiral Atragon-9 -> No Mitar. We will take up a stationary orbit and report our situation

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::looks towards Vil and Kyle:: I have narrowed down a few potential markers which seem unique in this situation and may be a potential cause of the symptoms...it'll take a little time to determine which might be having this effect.

Admiral Atragon-9 -> it's just good to be close by, in case they need to come aboard later

precip -> Understood...sir.

Vilanne -> Not those kinds of splotches... ::looks at Jaiysa:: Really?

kyle_mele -> Excellent job, Doctor. Continue working on that angle.

MC_Escher -> ::explodes:: Why do you care about my career? You don't CARE about anything. You don't feel for me! WHY DO YOU CARE?

Eva Jaz -> :: feels like a 70's hippie on an acid trip ::

precip -> Sir...If time permits...I need to speak to one of my officers..

kyle_mele -> ::glances around, notices Faldek::

Garnoopy -> ::taps panel::

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> Vil> ::dryly:: Really. Of course I have na idea if any of them are correct.

kyle_mele -> Commander, I do apologize for the delay.

LtCdrFaldek -> Oh no problem, you have bigger fish to fry.

kyle_mele -> ::glance back to Vil:: See if you can isolate anything that will help us determine who is infected and who isn't.

T'Prise -> Because you are my friend. I will do everything in my power to aid Lieutenant Morran, but I will not allow you to take this rash course of action.

Hilee -> ::Hearing the alert....begins the trimming and power reduction to the engines,sets the inertial dampners to full......and times the drop out of star drive to conincide with the station while 3 minutes out.::

kyle_mele -> Begin a test of all those we know are infected. See if there are any commonalities we can scan for.

kyle_mele -> ::small frown:: Still, no need for you to be sitting here, bored out of your mind.

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::Pings our position to Carthage:::

Keb -> ::modifies speed slightly as the station gets closer::

Vilanne -> Alright boss... I'll see what they've got so far.

MC_Escher -> ::steps up to her, face to face:: Friend? You sit here espousing ::finger quotes:: "logic" while a man in my department DIES. You...you are not a friend! You are a MACHINE!

LtCdrFaldek -> So then you are releasing me as... medically fit?

precip -> A9> Sir...If time permits...I need to speak to one of my officers..

kyle_mele -> You are released to duty. I'm not making it a release to light duty, but please do take it easy for a couple days.

Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::rubs the back of her neck absently and leans on the console, sorting through the results left on the screen::

LtCdrFaldek -> No problem Doctor.

kyle_mele -> I'll want you back in here in twenty-four hours for a checkup, then we'll go from there.

T'Prise -> :: Deciding that this has gone beyond irrational, reaches up and administers a nerve pinch to Escher. ::

Admiral Atragon-9 -> Go ahead, Mitar

kyle_mele -> Sorry to have kept you waiting, Commander.

LtCdrFaldek -> 24 hours. Aye.

Hilee -> ::Tapps::+Bridge+ All systems set to enter the area of the star base.....impulse at your command

Eva Jaz -> ::dancing on clouds wrapped in a myriad of colors ::

Keb -> ::nods to Jami:: We'll reach SB 801 in 8 minutes.

McFly -> ::mcfly frolics through a meadow blanketed with wild flowers; the sky is blue and clear and he dances among the foliage::

Garnoopy -> +Hilee+ Understood.

MC_Escher -> ::crumples, splaying out on the science bay floor, a blank expression of peace replacing his angry look of moments before::

precip -> Pirk>::thinks of glory at the console before him....then the chair ahead of him::

Admiral Atragon-9 -> Keb, send the Starbase our current situation and logs

kyle_mele -> ::taps the console a couple of times, glances back to Faldek:: Oh, that's it. I've already taken care of the release form here. ::motions to the console::

Kansas Kenickie -> ::Lies on the beach, taking in the rays::

Keb -> ::nods and sends a hail to the station:: Aye aye, Admiral, sending data.

Vilanne -> +COM to Chambers+ Good morning? don't tell me you all went to sleep that fast. This is Dr Chalice. Hello?

LtCdrFaldek -> ::stops at the sight of Precip:: Chief.

precip -> Commander...you have healed!

McFly -> ::he looks back down at the bunnies and their fur is now pitch black; their eyes glow red; their lips curl back show rows of inch long razor fangs; then the bunnies start growing in size becoming taller than McFly::

LtCdrFaldek -> Not even light duty.

MC_Escher -> ::lies still, not moving, breathing slowly, the most at peace he's been in six months::
