TBS is 6 hours. The time is 1400 hours (2.00 pm) Aegis Local.
Aegis and USS Missouri continue to pin down the cause of strange dreams, hallucinations, and allergies.
Command has called a meeting with all staff in the conference room at 1400.

Scott Coleridge: ::in the meeting room, laying out cookies in pleasing shapes::
Dacia Sandero: ::makes her way to the conference room::
mimipavilion: ::on her way to the conference room as well::
Chirakis: ::in her office, wrapping up a conversation with command::
Jylliene: ::having handed off Ops, headed to conference room::
mimipavilion: ::arrives on the CnC withy Dacia and goes to the Conference room::
Cptn d'Ka: :::enters via command lift:::
Dacia Sandero: ::follows Mimi into the conference room::
mimipavilion: ::takes a seat::
Scott Coleridge: Commander, doctors. ::gestures at cookies::
Dacia Sandero: ::sits down as well, and settles in::
Jylliene: ::enters::
Chirakis: :::the admiral finally finishes talking, she blanks the screen, grabs her PADD, and exits her office, aiming toward the conference room::::
Cptn d'Ka: :::in step with the captain, enters the conference room:::
Chirakis: :::approaching her chair, she waves d'Ka into one next to her, then sits, obviously exhausted::
Cptn d'Ka: ::settles in:::
Chirakis: :::Scott, as she checks those attending::: Commander Coleridge, when you are ready, proceed.
Jylliene: ::PADD out, taking notes::
Scott Coleridge: ::takes a seat:: I've been reviewing the reports from your respective departments.
Dacia Sandero: ::listens::
mimipavilion: ::listening::
Nijil tr'Korjata: :: Sitting opposite of Kital ::
Scott Coleridge: It seems like you have been making good progress answering some of the questions that have been raised in these past weeks.
Scott Coleridge: I wanted to take this opportunity for us to review what we've learned so far, and what your current lines of inquiry are, so that we're all aware of what one another is doing.
Scott Coleridge: ::turns to Mimi:: Doctor Pavilion, where are you at with your investigations?
Alexis McFarland: ::Snuggles Miana! ::
Nijil tr'Korjata: :: Listening ::
Tarisa: Miana> ::Purrs as she is snuggled.::
Tarisa: ::Quietly sitting in the CR.::
Dacia Sandero: ::glances over at Mimi::
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: :: Sitting off from the table ::
mimipavilion: We have found that the gremlins are probable cause of what has been affecting the crew, but to what extent is still unknown. It is believed that their DNA may hold the key as well as their anatomy.
Scott Coleridge: If that's the case, should we consider removing the gremlins from the station?
Chirakis: :::glance to d'Ka with a curious expression:::
mimipavilion: Most likely.
Cptn d'Ka: ::paying more attention to the doctors::
Scott Coleridge: All right, we'll come back to that point in a moment.
mimipavilion: ::nods::
Scott Coleridge: ::turns to Tarisa:: Commander Tarisa, could you summarize science's findings so far from your efforts?
Dacia Sandero: ::nods:: At this point also, we're not sure if it's the DNA from the gremlins themselves, or from their chemical odour spray they released
Nijil tr'Korjata: :: Looks at Tarisa ::
Dacia Sandero: ::also looks over at Tarisa::
Chirakis: ::mental notes, relaxing and listening:::
Alexis McFarland: ::playing with her friends::
mimipavilion: ::looks over to Tarisa::
Tarisa: ::Perks up and nods.:: Yes, as stated, we believe the cause is likely the gremlins, but at this point the how of it is escaping us. But I believe they are more like a simple diversion planned or simply by accident. It seems the real issue may stem from what the Missouri has been experiencing.
Cptn d'Ka: ::raises a brow::
Scott Coleridge: So we have a connection between the gremlins and the Missouri?
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: :: Reading something on his PADD ::
Tarisa: ::Taps a little console on the table, bringing up a display of the modified Missouri. She nods to Scott.:: These were picked up by the Missouri. The are genetically modified gremlins.
Alexis McFarland: ::playing her radio controlled AMC Gremlin in the park::
Scott Coleridge: Interesting, gremlins on gremlins
Cptn d'Ka: :::fingers steeple, looking to Scott:::
Scott Coleridge: ::Nijil:: Anything to report from engineering's end?
Tarisa: This variety seems more potent, so much so that the confined spaces of the ship allowed the "spray or stench" to be more concentrated. Their scrubbers were unable to keep up.
Nijil tr'Korjata: :: Woken from his trance :: Ie, well, the trouble with the replication systems appears solved and there are measures in place to prevent the same thing from happening
Tarisa: ::Taps again, new display.:: The crew were experiencing a harsher array of symptoms as opposed to us.
Nijil tr'Korjata: Otherwise, the station is just undergoing the normal set of issues any station would have.
Scott Coleridge: ::nods to acknowledge Nijil while listening to Tarisa's addition::
Tarisa: ::Is done for the moment.::
Dacia Sandero: ::watches Tarisa and Nijl,taking it all in::
Tarisa: Miana> ::Chases after the toy gremlin.::
Nijil tr'Korjata: We have ruled out forms of radiation resulting in sleep problems. I am still having my vivid dreams, so they do not seem related.
Scott Coleridge: So we have two sets of gremlins, one aboard Missouri and one aboard Aegis, each causing or somehow involved in the problems affecting both crews.
Jylliene: ::continues taking notes::
Scott Coleridge: Earlier, I asked if we should consider removing the gremlins. If we decide to do that: what resources will we need to accomplish it, and where would we send them?
Scott Coleridge: ::glances at Cayne, who is probably more familiar than most at the table with how extensively the gremlins have inhabited the disused parts of the station::
Cptn d'Ka: :::looks to Scott as though he has information:::
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: :: Pokes at his PADD :: Here is a hologram of the gremlin locations. :: throws it up on the table between them all ::
Scott Coleridge: Captain d'Ka?
Cptn d'Ka: Commander, your science officer's idea is sound. however...
Cptn d'Ka: The gene sequence of those on Missouri has been altered somehow.
Dacia Sandero: ::listening on::
mimipavilion: ::listening::
Cptn d'Ka: Our physicians believe that yes, they are similar to your gremlins. They are also genetically altered to add another piece to the puzzle...
Scott Coleridge: ::gestures at Cayne to wait for a moment while they hear d'Ka's input:: Altered?
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: :: Fades the holo ::
Cptn d'Ka: It is not actually your gremlins, though they may play a part...
Cptn d'Ka: Our physicians believe that it is a composition of both, pointing more toward those on Missouri than to your gremlins.
mimipavilion: ::does not like what she is hearing::
Cptn d'Ka: We have quarantined the areas and are proceeding with caution to find more information. ::is finished:::
Dacia Sandero: ::glances over::
Scott Coleridge: Noted, thank you..
Scott Coleridge: ::Cayne:: Commander, you were about to explain the logistics of removing our gremlins?
Cptn d'Ka: ::polite nod:::
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: :: Brings up the holo again ::
mimipavilion: ::looks at Cayne, then the holographic image::
Chirakis: :::looks to Cayne's hologram:::
Tarisa: ::Looking at the hologram.::
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: We need to call a ship that can take them. A Wallenberg class could do it.
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: We also would need to tag each of them so we can securely transporter them to the ship, rather than leading them through a dock.
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: But, we need to get them to their native environment.
Jylliene: ::wonders how they'd ensure the safety of the receiving ship::
Tarisa: I would recommend settling them in a location away from the Alliance.
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: In this ship we could set up an environment just for them.
Dacia Sandero: ::nods in agreement::
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: Searching has already begun, but introducing a species not native to the planet is...tricky
mimipavilion: ::nods::
Chirakis: :::leans forward, listening::
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: It could take a while, as we have to send a team ahead to prepare the location.
Scott Coleridge: So removing them is achievable, but we need time to put everything into place.
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: A full medical workup would be helpful :: Looking at the medical staff ::
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: Right.
Scott Coleridge: Tarisa, you said that the gremlins' spray is the agent that's causing the adverse reactions among the crew? Have we started exploring an antidote or counteragent we could use?
Tarisa: ::Nods.:: Yes we are exploring that option.
Cptn d'Ka: :::hand up to Scott:::
Scott Coleridge: Yes, Captain?
Cptn d'Ka: Commander, our personnel are also working on such an agent. I will forward what they have found to your personnel. ::nods to Tarisa::
Tarisa: That will be very helpful.
Scott Coleridge: Very good.
Dacia Sandero: ::smiles and nods::: Certainly will.
mimipavilion: Agreed
Scott Coleridge: Tarisa, make that science's priority. Work with medical, who will also be continuing to look into the nature of the gremlins' physiology. Engineering might also need to assist if we decide to disperse the counteragent as some kind of aerosol.
Scott Coleridge: Commanders Cayne and Kital, you're in charge of the logistics of rounding up and moving out the gremlins. Develop a concrete plan with best- and worst-case timelines based on available resources.
Scott Coleridge: Consider building in some flexibility regarding your mode of transport… perhaps we will use a small convoy of ships rather than one larger vessel. It'll depend on what Starfleet can spare us.
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: :: Looks to Kital ::
Scott Coleridge: Any questions?
Jylliene: ::makes a note to make said plan::
Cptn d'Ka: ::has an idea regarding transporting ships, but will approach that later:::
Scott Coleridge: ::looks to Chirakis and d'Ka:: Anything from either of the Captains?
Chirakis: Not at the moment, Commander.
Cptn d'Ka: ::Nods agreement::
Scott Coleridge: Very well. Thank you everyone for your contributions so far. Let's get back to work. Dismissed.
Chirakis: =/\==/\=PAUSE SIM=/\==/\=
Chirakis: =/\==/\=PAUSE SIM=/\==/\=
Chirakis: Thank you
Chirakis: Excellent work, all.
Chirakis: TBS will be the next morning at 0700.
Chirakis: Commander, any thoughts for the crew?
Scott Coleridge: Nope
Chirakis: Questions or thoughts from the crew?
Chirakis: Seeing none...
Chirakis: Crew dismissed. Be well. Be Safe. Don’t forget your towel.
