Johnson Kenyon: ::waiting for Tarisa's team to finish analyzing the replicated coffee::
Dacia Sandero: ::in Sickbay::
mimipavilion: ::in medical, looking over the scans of those who are affected::
Chirakis: ::in her office, sorting information, listening to some, ignoring others:::
Alexis McFarland: ::with Miana and Annisha probably::
Cptn d'Ka: @ :::aboard Missouri::
Jylliene: ::CnC, Ops::
Tarisa: ::Still in Sickbay.::
Tae'Lynn Dran: ::looking over the compiled list of any and all fluctuations in the environmental system log::
Alexis McFarland: ::looking over the medical reports::
Dacia Sandero: ::looking over the medical reports::
Alexis McFarland: ::looks over at Annisha::
Tarisa: ::Borrowing a Med Lab station to analyze the replicated coffee.::
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: :: He had to leave the CnC for a while, all the noise was too much ::
Chirakis: ::her door is open. The Officer of the Watch is pacing for some reason, which is somewhat distracting::
Dacia Sandero: ::watches Tarisa::
Annisha: :: Annisha looked worn out ::
Alexis McFarland: Didn't get a good sleep last night?
Jylliene: ::drumming fingers on the console::
Johnson Kenyon: ::waited in the sickbay for about an hour before being recalled back to engineering.... now in Main engineering reading work logs::
Tarisa: Miana> Aw...
Annisha: N-na.
Alexis McFarland: That's too bad. A lot of people seem to be having problems sleeping. Mostly the engineers I think.
Chirakis: :::feeling somewhat better than she did early on, but in the need of coffee:::
Dacia Sandero: ::wonders if there's any correlation between the coffee and what's going on, she still reads over the reports as well::
Johnson Kenyon: ::not happy with what he's reading... thinking medical and science had better figure something out soon or he'll lose a few engineers::
mimipavilion: ::starts noticing roughly the same thing among those who are affected... high counts of stimulants, something normally found in caffeinated beverages::
Tarisa: I do not see coffee as the direct cause... ::Thinks:: But perhaps caffeine boosts whatever is affecting some of the crew.
Jylliene: ::checks a few things::
mimipavilion: ::goes to stand at the door of her office:: Hey Dacia can I discuss something with you?
Dacia Sandero: Excess caffeine? Yes, drinking too much would lead to sleep deprivation and stress... yes, sure
Nijil tr'Korjata: :: Still down in the commerce level, drinking tea and trying to stay calm ::
Cptn d'Ka: @ :::talking to the deck officer as they continue to investigate the black-hulled ship stealth ship:::
Annisha: Are au two having nightmares?
Tarisa: ::Nods.:: But somehow it is being elevated to extremes.
Scott Coleridge: ::walking down the commerce level, notices Nijil and detours towards him::
Alexis McFarland: No, I've had pretty good dreams lately.
Tarisa: Miana> ::Shakes head.:: I slept very well last night.
Johnson Kenyon: ::reading reports of environmental checks now::
Annisha: :: frowns :: Really? :: looks at her feet ::
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: :: Walking in the park, a place he rarely goes ::
Chirakis: :::exits her office, deciding that she's had enough dealing with SF Command:::
Dacia Sandero: Hmm, all this extra work does lead to more consumption.
Alexis McFarland: Aww, sorry.
Alexis McFarland: You're having bad dreams?
Chirakis: :::ah, the perks of being so far away from them.. unless they decide to visit::sighs::
Johnson Kenyon: +Dacia+ Lt Kenyon to Doctor Sandero
mimipavilion: ::sits behind her desk:: Noticed the high counts of caffeine, uh. Yep, too much work will do that.
Dacia Sandero: +Kenyon+ Yes, go ahead.
Annisha: :: Shakes her head ::
Johnson Kenyon: +Dacia+ Tell me you found something in the coffee, Doctor
Dacia Sandero: +Kenyon+ We're still analyzing it, but it doesn't seem to be like the key contributor at the moment.
Chirakis: :::coffee, yes:::
Scott Coleridge: ::Nijil:: How are you doing?
Johnson Kenyon: +Dacia+ I'm reading engineering reports of environmental system checks and not seeing anything obvious, but I am seeing an increasing spike in injuries and sleepiness
Nijil tr'Korjata: Uso pele.
Chirakis: ::then proceeds to her usual pace around CnC, stopping by Jylliene::: Commander, you're working overtime today?
mimipavilion: ::listens to Dacia talk to Kenyon, pondering the idea of restricting the caffeinated beverages until the computer virus is eliminated::
Jylliene: I was feeling restless. I thought it might help.
Nijil tr'Korjata: :: throws up his hands :: O lau tautalaga e le o Roma
Jylliene: At least for a bit.
Dacia Sandero: +Kenyon+ Maybe due to excess consumption of caffeine? It does lead to long term fatigue and crashes.. but it’s a double-edged sword as people need the energy to stay alert with all these extra hours people have been working.
Chirakis: Restless, as in.... unable to sleep?
Alexis McFarland: ::pets Annisha:: Poor Annisha. Maybe you need some warm milk or some tea? That helps me sleep better.
Scott Coleridge: ::Nijil:: Sorry, I don't recognize that language.
Johnson Kenyon: +Dacia+ Excess caffeine consumption, huh? How can I restrict caffeine intake?
Nijil tr'Korjata: :: Writes in his padd :: "I'm fine, but I can't speak Rihan or standard."
Tae'Lynn Dran: ::shakes head at the lack of results. Sets the padd aside and gets up to take a walk::
Jylliene: No...not nearly as much as Nijil.
Jylliene: A little, but nothing unusual for me.
Dacia Sandero: +Kenyon+ Perhaps we'll have to limit caffeine-based drinks or energy stimulants.
Johnson Kenyon: ::reviewing the injury reports to see if caffeine intake is an issue::
Nijil tr'Korjata: :: writes in his padd again :: "Medical does not know what is going on. No suspected brain damage."
mimipavilion: ::Dacia, softly:: My thoughts exactly.
Tarisa: +Dran+ Did you find anything in the environmentals?
Dacia Sandero: +Kenyon+ It should help, but I don't know if this is the main issue of what's been happening. We've still gotta look into that in more detail.
Chirakis: :::slight pause to mull that over::: Understandable.
Dacia Sandero: ::nods at Mimi::
Johnson Kenyon: +Dacia+ yes, Doctor, but without those stimulants how will we keep our crew alert? We need an alternative. Do I tell them to take naps?
Nijil tr'Korjata: :: writes again :: I am having vivid dreams, Annisha is having nightmares. :: shows Coleridge ::
Tae'Lynn Dran: +Tarisa+ Nothing of quantifiable significance.
Jylliene: ::ponders::
Scott Coleridge: ::reads the PADD, mollified to hear that the doctors are aware of his condition:: Is there anything I can do for you? Anything you need?
Jylliene: I hope you're not suffering their effects?
Tarisa: ::Frowns:: +Dran+ I am in medical. I'm thinking of running a test involving caffeine.
Dacia Sandero: +Kenyon+ If it helps, yes. We'll have to look into more holistic solutions to boost alertness.
Chirakis: :::watching the commander without intruding::: Explain "their effects".
Nijil tr'Korjata: :: shows him after he writes :: "Let me know if I become a woman like in my dreams. There's nothing I can think of.."
Tae'Lynn Dran: +Tarisa+ Interesting. Do you need help?
Tarisa: +Dran+ Yes, if you would like.
Annisha: :: has a daydream ::
Tae'Lynn Dran: +Tarisa+ On my way.
Jylliene: All of this sleeplessness.
Jylliene: I prefer you alert. You probably do too.
Jylliene: ::slight smile::
Johnson Kenyon: ::sends a message calling for an ALL ENGINEERING staff meeting in 15-minute. Exceptions by approval only::
Dacia Sandero: ::to Mimi::: I wonder, what else could boost alertness aside from caffeine?
Nijil tr'Korjata: :: notices something on his padd ::
Johnson Kenyon: +Dacia+ I'm calling an All Hands meeting of my staff. Do you want to send someone to address them? It might go over easier when I take away their stimulants.
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: :: Sits at the edge of the water ::
Scott Coleridge: ::Nijil:: I'm sure we'll figure this out soon. ::trying to sound confident, not sure at all::
Tae'Lynn Dran: ::enters medical::
Nijil tr'Korjata: Faafetai tele le kapeteni
Dacia Sandero: +Kenyon+ Yeah. we'll send someone over. I wouldn't blame your staff not taking it well.
mimipavilion: ::Dacia:: I'm thinking of restricting access to the caffeinated drinks until the computer issue is resolved.
Chirakis: ::putting aside her coffee:: Sleeplessness. Yes, I have had a few sleepless nights... and days, for that matter.
Nijil tr'Korjata: :: Shows him the padd again :: "The language I can speak, it's old, more than 1000 years old." :: shrugs ::
Alexis McFarland: ::nods:: That's a good plan for now.
Jylliene: You carry more weight on your shoulders than many of us.
Chirakis: ::slight grin:: I ignore most of it.
Dacia Sandero: Sure, that sounds like a good idea, I think.
Tae'Lynn Dran: ::finds Tarisa::
Scott Coleridge: That's fascinating.
Chirakis: Especially when it comes to... well, let us not go there.
Jylliene: ::grins::
Johnson Kenyon: +OPS+ Lt Kenyon to OPS
Jylliene: +Kenyon+ Ops here.
Scott Coleridge: I wonder how that wo… ::breaks off, knowing that's not what Nijil wants to hear::
Chirakis: ::nods hearing the call:: Carry on, Commander.
Nijil tr'Korjata: :: raises his brow ::
Tarisa: ::Waves Dran over.:: I did an initial test on coffee itself with no conclusive results. But we do believe caffeine might be an enhancer to what is going on.
Jylliene: ::nods to Chirakis in acknowledgement::
mimipavilion: I'm pretty sure that it will be. Might need to look into the schedules of those who are affected, like if their working multiple shifts.
Chirakis: :::casual walk toward the commerce deck to watch those below enjoying the afternoon:::
Cptn d'Ka: @ {{Kh’éile?}}
Annisha: Na na! I did not want to kill him! :: yells out to no one ::
Dacia Sandero: Yes, that should help.
Alexis McFarland: Kill whom?
Johnson Kenyon: +OPS+ I have been discussing the problem with medical and have decided to take my staff off stimulants; It might be a bumpy ride till they recover
Chirakis: :::blink::: {{Yes?}}
Tarisa: Miana> ::Perks up at Annisha yelling.::
Cptn d'Ka: @ {{Is any of your crew ill?}}
Annisha: :: starts to cry :: I just wanted to get away - off the planet!
Tae'Lynn Dran: Very possible. I do know such stimulants are not uniform in their effects even within a species. It actually makes me sleepy and it's a common bedtime beverage at home.
Jylliene: +Kenyon+ How are they going to deal with lack of sleep if they don't have that to get them through shift?
Alexis McFarland: ::frowns, not sure what to do::
Jylliene: ::curious::
Chirakis: {{Not any more ill than usual. Why do you ask?}}
Johnson Kenyon: +OPS+ I'll authorize cat naps where needed, we'll have to suffer through it
mimipavilion: ::nods:: I'll work with the command staff on figuring out how many multiple shifts of those affected since this issue has begun.
Scott Coleridge: ::Nijil:: I'm about to go get checked out in sickbay myself.
Scott Coleridge: ::Nijil:: Take care. Let me know if you need anything…. I'm serious. Night or day. Call me… er, send me a message.
Dacia Sandero: :::nods:: That's good.
Nijil tr'Korjata: :: nods ::
Johnson Kenyon: +OPS+ either the stimulants are the problem or they are making the problem worse
Nijil tr'Korjata: :: waves ::
Tarisa: Have you experienced bad sleeping behaviors?
Jylliene: ::wonders how they're getting the cat naps, either:: +Kenyon+ Acknowledged. What would you like me to do?
Cptn d'Ka: @{{A situation on Missouri. Forwarding information to you.}}
Dacia Sandero: Me? No, not in particular. Though I tend not to consume too much caffeine; maybe one or two cups of tea a day.
Chirakis: {{My office.}}
Tae'Lynn Dran: Some disturbing dreams.
Dacia Sandero: Yourself?
Scott Coleridge: ::heads for sickbay::
Cptn d'Ka: @ {{Of course, Kh’éile.}}
Tarisa: ::Nods.::
Johnson Kenyon: ((a lot of tea has caffeine too))
Annisha: :: Crying and holding on to Alexis :: I killed a man Lexi...
Annisha: I keep on dreaming of it...
Alexis McFarland: ::holds Annisha:: There there.. ::thinks:: I think I remember you telling me this when we first met. I thought you stopped having those dreams.
Annisha: I did..
Tarisa: I believe certain species are either immune or slower to respond to what is happening. My race in particular, and Betazeds neither have reported problems.
Alexis McFarland: You're having them again? Recently?
Tarisa: Miana> ::Frowns as she snuggles Annisha and Alexis.::
Johnson Kenyon: +OPS+ Please inform the command staff
Chirakis: ::casually continues her usual pace around CnC, then enters her office, closing the door behind her:::
Alexis McFarland: ::snuggles Miana too::
Annisha: Yeah..
Dacia Sandero: ::nods:: That's right
Tae'Lynn Dran: Might need to do a survey of the major species on board. I believe Human and Romulan are two of the larger populations.
Jylliene: +Kenyon+ I will. Anything else I can do for you?
Dacia Sandero: The Vulcans I.ve spoken too also don't seem to be affected
Jylliene: ::preps the message::
Tarisa: ::Nods.:: We should consider Medical to begin taking blood samples as well.
Scott Coleridge: ::enters sickbay::
Johnson Kenyon: +OPS+ Fortunately I am not that affected. I was affected, but had sufficient rest and have been sleeping find since
Chirakis: :::leaning against her desk, she pages through the information sent by d'Ka::
Dacia Sandero: ::if you're still in Sickbay::: Yeah, we can do that.
Chirakis: {{You are certain of this?}}
Jylliene: +Kenyon+ Good to hear.
mimipavilion: Ok
Alexis McFarland: Hmm. Did you talk to anyone about it, your parents or Dr. Davis?
Nijil tr'Korjata: :: Nice of the Captain to visit, but still a bit depressed. Perhaps Annisha was having a better time ::
Tae'Lynn Dran: No effect among Vulcans... or they simply won't admit to anything as emotional as a bad dream.
Cptn d'Ka: @ {{As certain as we can be given the circumstances.}}
Johnson Kenyon: ::noticing engineers pile into Main Engineering for the meeting:: +OPS+ I need to go. Kenyon out.
Annisha: Just my father and when I go home I go to bed..
Chirakis: ::still paging through:: {{Are you affected?}}
Jylliene: +Kenyon+ I shall send your message right away. Ops out.
Dacia Sandero: Could be as well, though I didn't notice anything different with their brain patterns. Could've been hiding it though.
Cptn d'Ka: @ {{I am not.}}
Jylliene: ::finishes editing the message, then sends it to command staff, notifying them of Kenyon's directive.::
Alexis McFarland: Aw, I see. Sorry you're having them again.
Scott Coleridge: ::locates the doctors::
Alexis McFarland: Dr. Davis should help. Didn't she help you the first time?
Jylliene: ::((Reminder, directive was all stimulants verboten for Engineering))::
Dacia Sandero: ::sees Scott:::Oh, hello there?
Johnson Kenyon: ::wonders if he explained he needs someone from medical right away::
mimipavilion: ::sees Scott:: Oh hi
Jylliene: ((nope, that was not mentioned))
Tarisa: ::Notices Scott entering.::
Dacia Sandero: Dr. Pepper> ::Arrives in Engineering::
Chirakis: ::pages through one more time before exiting the office:::
Scott Coleridge: Hello, doctors. I've come to volunteer myself for experimentation.
Johnson Kenyon: ::Main engineering is filled with engineering staff trying to find seats. only standing room left::
mimipavilion: ::Dacia:: I'll take care of Scott.
Dacia Sandero: Sure thing.
mimipavilion: ::smiles:: Volunteers, never really happens here.
Dacia Sandero: That's incredible timing.
Johnson Kenyon: ::sees Dr. Pepper::
Chirakis: :::as she passes by the watch officer::: I will be in medical if I am needed.
Scott Coleridge: I know! But I've had some interesting yet intermittent symptoms.
Johnson Kenyon: (wait a minute... Dr. Pepper is a stimulant!)
Dacia Sandero: Dr. P> Hello.
Scott Coleridge: So I thought I would add one more data point to your set.
Dacia Sandero: (The irony.. lol)
Johnson Kenyon: Nice to meet you, Doctor, were you briefed on this discussion?
Tarisa: ::Looks to Scott.:: I am curious Commander, have you recently had any sort of caffeine?
mimipavilion: ::smiles:: Never hurts, but I think there may be a temporary solution until we get the computer issue solved.
Annisha: :: only sniffing now ::
Johnson Kenyon: ::notices the time for the meeting has come::
mimipavilion: ::Scott:: Please take a seat.
Dacia Sandero: Dr. P> Yes, I have chief.
Johnson Kenyon: Roger that... I'll start and have you near in case of questions
Dacia Sandero: (Caffeine free Dr. Pepper)
Dacia Sandero: Dr. Pepper> Yes, very well.
Johnson Kenyon: (now you tell me)
Chirakis: :::the command lift stops and she steps out to enter the medical complex:::
Johnson Kenyon: ::stands on a chair:: Settle down everyone. I'll try to make this brief.
Tae'Lynn Dran: ::joins the crowd come to poke and prod the Commander::
Scott Coleridge: ::Tarisa:: I had a great deal of caffeine yesterday, because I slept very poorly.
Alexis McFarland: ::still hugs Annisha:: Aww. I wish I can do more to help
Scott Coleridge: Last night I slept much better, and I haven't had any caffeine today.
Johnson Kenyon: As you know, many of the crew are experiencing bad dreams and sleepiness...
Tarisa: I see.
Dacia Sandero: ::overhears:: Hmm.
mimipavilion: That maybe the difference.
mimipavilion: ::takes a tricorder and scans Scott::
Annisha: I don't want au to catch what I have.
Johnson Kenyon: Medical and science are reviewing the problem and believe our stimulants are not helping the situation and may be contributing to the problem
Alexis McFarland: Hmm, but we never killed anyone.
Alexis McFarland: I killed a fly once that buzzed around my head, but that's it.
Tarisa: Miana> ::Still snuggling.:: I feel fine.
Chirakis: ::takes a seat and waves off another doctor who approaches, then she rereads the information from Missouri::
Johnson Kenyon: Therefore, I am ordering all engineering staff to refrain from stimulant food and drinks until further notice.
Tarisa: ::Perks up as she notices the Captain had entered.::
Annisha: As my father told me once, at the end of the day this is my demon alone.
Johnson Kenyon: ::bit of an angry uproar is heard:: HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO WORK!
Scott Coleridge: ::being scanned::
Chirakis: ::notices Tarisa as well, but continues to read:::
Scott Coleridge: It was the strangest thing. I would have chalked it up to just a bad night's sleep, but Captain Chirakis and a few others looked very worn today.
Scott Coleridge: I wonder if something's going around?
mimipavilion: ::finishes the scan and looks at the analysis::
Dacia Sandero: ::goes over::: Oh hello, Captain. Are you also feeling symptoms too?
Nijil tr'Korjata: :: Drinking some tea ::
Johnson Kenyon: ::raises arms high:: Yes, I know you would have that concern. So, I'm authorizing micro-breaks as needed to maintain alertness...
Alexis McFarland: Hm, I hope you can conquer it.. ahh, again.
Tarisa: ::Walking over.:: I do not usually frequent Medical, but I do find it odd that the Command Staff would both visit at the same time.
Dacia Sandero: Dr. Pepper> ::quietly:: I'd also recommend trying to limit hours as much as you can to allow people to get rest.
Chirakis: ::looks up when she realizes that Dacia is speaking to her:::
Chirakis: Dr. Sandero. Apologies. I am somewhat absorbed in my work.
Dacia Sandero: Of course, I can come back when you're ready.
Chirakis: I had symptoms, but they seem to have subsided.
Johnson Kenyon: ::nods to Doctor:: Furthermore, any non essential duties will be curtailed to allow for additional off duty time
Annisha: I heard a rumor from a shopkeeper who heard it from a customer who heard it from a maintenance crew who overheard a nurse who heard it in earshot of a Doctor that the whole station is having bad dreams.
Johnson Kenyon: Doctor, do you want to add anything?
Chirakis: I'm in good health, Doctor. I can wait.
Alexis McFarland: That might explain why so many people seem to be more edgier than usual.
Nijil tr'Korjata: :: closes his eyes, mumbles:: Afai oi ai oe, falia oe lava.
Johnson Kenyon: ::from the engineers present:: How's more sleep going to help with my nightmares! I can't sleep without getting them!
Dacia Sandero: Dr Pepper> If you're feeling tired, try to take periodic breaks even if it is just to take a walk or something.
Chirakis: :::actually waiting for Scott:::
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: :: splashes some water on his face, pretty sure the groundskeeper would not approve ::
mimipavilion: ::Scott:: Well, seems the caffeine consumption that you had yesterday is within limited perimeters.
Johnson Kenyon: ::looks at the doctor:: Anything for nightmares?
Scott Coleridge: That's good to know. I think.
Annisha: This seems like something my people would do, or would have done.
Dacia Sandero: Dr. Pepper> ::thinks, more people having nightmares:: Maybe we can prescribe you some medication to help you all sleep.
mimipavilion: ::notes the Captain at one of the biobeds:: There's something that I could use some help from you and the captain.
Cptn d'Ka: @ :::backing away from the delta stealth fighter, he enters the lift and proceeds to the bridge:::
Johnson Kenyon: ::addressing engineering:: If you have nightmares, see medical and they may prescribe something to help you sleep; Bottomline is the Stimulants are only hiding the problem
Johnson Kenyon: We cannot rely on them anymore
Johnson Kenyon: Now, the good Doctor and I will remain and talk to anyone who has questions. The rest of you are dismissed
Scott Coleridge: ::listening::
Dacia Sandero: ::Checks on their stock of sleep medication::
Annisha: I just want rest.. :: sighs ::
Alexis McFarland: Maybe Dacia can give you something to sleep? But I think Medical is going to be busy.
Dacia Sandero: We have a good stock.
mimipavilion: ::Scott and Chirakis:: Could use some help going through duty shifts of those that have been affected by stimulants, like coffee and such, particularly those who have had multiple shifts.

Chirakis: Thank you
Chirakis: Well done, crew.
Chirakis: We're going to pick up from here, so no TBS
Chirakis: Comments for the crew, Commander Coleridge?
Scott Coleridge: Nope
Chirakis: Questions or comments from the crew?
Johnson Kenyon: good SIM
Chirakis: Good crews make good sims.
Chirakis: Anyone else?
Chirakis: Very well..
Chirakis: Crew dismissed. Be well. Be Safe. Don’t forget your towel.
