Tarisa: Miana> So many pretty things.
Alexis McFarland: Mmn, yes.
Nijil tr'Korjata: Oa mai le ataeao
Scott Coleridge: ::approaches Mimi:: Dr. Pavilion?
Chirakis: :::wearily exist her office to make a few more tracks in the carpeting as she thinks things over:::
Nijil tr'Korjata: Oh, ie, Good morning.
mimipavilion: ::looks up:: Oh, Commander Coleridge, please come in.
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: :: Looks over the sector sensor readings ::
Tarisa: ::Begins cross-referencing and updating the data.::
CdrBrown: ::looks over and sees Kirel exit her office::
Sierra Robinson: :: chuckles behind her mask :: I have that plant molecular compound data file ready for your review. It is on my workstation.
Jylliene: ::glances up and nods to Chirakis::
mimipavilion: What can I do for you, sir?
Scott Coleridge: ::Mimi:: I came because I heard you have two Pakleds who survived eating the plant.
Alexis McFarland: Many shiny things
Annisha: Shiny
mimipavilion: Yes, we do have two Pakleds still alive.
Alexis McFarland: Shiny
Nijil tr'Korjata: I need to stop speaking Yithian.
Chirakis: :::nod to Jylliene and looks around::: Do they still make the heaviest coffee in the universe?
Tarisa: Miana> ::Loves the shiny things.::
Jylliene: Think so.
Jylliene: ::grins::
CdrBrown: ::walks over, hands Chirakis a PADD:: Hourly report, OPS Normal.....
Chirakis: Thank you, Commander. ::flipping through:: Normal seems strange after what we have been through.  ::nods and hands it back::
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: :: His console chimes for an incoming message and Cayne reads ::
Sierra Robinson: I keep telling myself my Sierran is overdone.
Scott Coleridge: ::Mimi:: Any ideas yet on how they survived?
Chirakis: :::pouring herself the stiffest coffee she can find and downs most of it::::
Tarisa: ::Finishes:: +Engineering+ Science to Engineering.
Alexis McFarland: ::continues to walk along, curious about everything in the vendor's stalls::
CdrBrown: ::whispers to Chirakis:: you look like you've burned out the candle at both ends.... when's the last break you took?
Tarisa: Miana> ::Hums as she walks.::
Chirakis:  ::slight turn::: Break?  Ah, yes… the Terran word for resting.  I have no idea, Commander.
Amanda Davis PhD: :::in her office working on transcripts of the latest medical problem she has faced:::
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: :: to Noip :: A message just came from the alpha security team. They are reporting an unknown plant on decks 187 and 188.
Sierra Robinson: Sir, comm from science.
mimipavilion: Nothing obvious. I did run a scan of the samples of those known geneticists to see if there was one.  My results end up with nothing or classified.
Chirakis: :::turns to Cayne::: Say again, Commander.
Sierra Robinson: + Science + Engineering here go ahead.
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: A vine-like and long-winding plant that is quite spread out.
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: Images on the main viewer now. :: throws images of the vine structure to the main viewer in the CnC ::
CdrBrown: ::mutters:: here we go again.... ::heads over to his station::
Chirakis: A vine-like long-winding plant? One similar to….
Scott Coleridge: Hmm. I know it could just be a random mutation. But I wonder if it’s related to anything else the Pakleds did or ate. Are they conscious?
Tarisa: +Engineering+ I have a new update for the plant sensor data.
Nijil tr'Korjata: +Science+ Engineering here.
Chirakis: ::whispers:: Kahless!
mimipavilion: Yes they are awake and... hungry as usual.
Nijil tr'Korjata: :: Getting a mirror report. Reads and sighs ::
Sierra Robinson: :: listens ::
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: Cutting it requires a setting above stun.... that's not normal.
Tarisa: +Engineering+ I am uploading it to you now. ::Sends files.::
Chirakis: ::Cayne::: How could it possibly be that strong?
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: Commander Kital. Are you able to cut lighting to decks 187 and 188?
Jylliene: Yes sir.
Alexis McFarland: ::smiles as she window shops, taking in the variety of stuff for sale::
Chirakis: ::turns to Jyl::: Remember that personnel live below decks, in that area.
Jylliene: Are you asking if I can, or are you asking me to?
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: :: Chirakis :: I'm a security officer, not a botanist... but... could be some kind of carbon nanotube structure.
Sierra Robinson: Ooh...updates! :: sips coffee ::
Jylliene: ::nods to Chirakis::
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: :: Kital :: Both.
Scott Coleridge: ::ponders:: I'll have security interview them and then cross-reference.
Tarisa: Miana> Ooooh... ::Eyes a shiny that was in a window.::
Sierra Robinson: :: happy to get more data for the sensors ::
Jylliene: Very well. ::cuts lighting on decks 187 and 188::
CdrBrown: ::Cayne:: like its evolved, or like its a new species of plant?
Sierra Robinson: :: hears Cayne's request ::
Jylliene: (I'd assume there's some emergency pathway lighting kinda like in airplanes.)
Alexis McFarland: Ooh, what's that? ::looks at the shiny thing::
mimipavilion: ::nods, then pulls up her list of geneticists, downloading it to a PADD and hands it to Scott:: Here's the list of those who specialize in botany and biological DNA splicing that showed up as classified on my search.
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: Could be another plant.
Scott Coleridge: Interesting that they’re classified even for you… your clearance is ordinarily high enough. I’ll take a look and run them by the captain, see if we can get access to any more information. ::takes the PADD::
CdrBrown: ::begins to rethink getting a cactus for the CnC::
Nijil tr'Korjata: :: To Robinson :: Another plant... Things were simpler with Muuhi.
mimipavilion: I know that's what confused me as well, even for just basic info, but hey, it's Starfleet Intel. They may have their reasons.
Tarisa: Miana> ::Looks at the display of boxes and barrels full of assorted shiny rocks.:: I do not know but they sell them by the bag full. ::Notes the sign by the display.::
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: They report a sweet smelling aroma in the vicinity of the vines.
Sierra Robinson: Another? :: frowns behind mask :: Should I hold off on any sensor configurations sir?
CdrBrown: ::Cayne:: so likely a high sugar content in any flowering stems
Chirakis: :::nods::: Like the plants are morphing into another type, hopefully not as dangerous.
Alexis McFarland: That's a lot of shiny stuff.
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: I hope that's all it is. I once accidentally ate a plant leaf on an op and it was...
Chirakis: :::Cayne::: thinking aloud::: There are children living on deck 188.
Scott Coleridge: ::Mimi:: Thank you, Doctor. I'll keep you updated.
Chirakis: ::Hand-toss::: And their parents, of course.
mimipavilion: Thanks.
Tarisa: Miana> ::Nods::
Annisha: Why so much stuff?
Scott Coleridge: ::turns to leave::
CdrBrown: ::Chirakis:: sounding an alarm could tip off whoever established the vines.... cause undue panic.... and anyone coming off the deck could be contaminated and further spread to other sections
Tarisa: Miana> I do not know...but I want some...
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: We need to move them, but we need to know more about these plants.
Chirakis: :::muse::: .... and the plants have a sweet smell...
Sierra Robinson: Peter Pakled> :: sweeps the front of his store singing a Pakled Nursery Rhyme ::
Chirakis: ::nods to Brown:: There are security personnel taking care of that, Commander.
Alexis McFarland: Let's get some, then. ::buys three bags of the shiny things for herself, Miana and Annisha::
Tarisa: Miana> ::Ears flick as she hears someone singing in the distance.::
CdrBrown: ::nods::
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: +Security Team Alpha + Use a tricorder to take a time-lapse of the tip of the plant. How fast is it growing?
Alexis McFarland: ::hands a bag over to Miana and Annisha:: Hear something?
Nijil tr'Korjata: I think you could configure the sensors. The plants could be related.
Tarisa: Miana> ::Smiles as she gets her bag, then nods.:: Someone is singing.
Annisha: Uhh.. what should I be hearing?
Sierra Robinson: I'll get on it. :: walks over to workstation and uploads science files to the sensor array database ::
Scott Coleridge: ::heads for the CnC::
Sierra Robinson: :: watches the bar slowly move from left to right on her workstation ::
Alexis McFarland: Singing? ::follows Miana::
Chirakis: ::thinking of different kinds of the same plant....or similar plant... some dangerous and some not so dangerous::::
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: Do you think this is the same plant genus?
Tarisa: Miana> Yeah. It is sort of weird, but nice. ::walks with them until they come around a corner. Then she stops and points.:: From that store.
Chirakis: :::straightens up::: Could they possibly be sentient beings?
Scott Coleridge: ::arrives on CnC::
Alexis McFarland: ::Looks at the store:: The plant store?
Sierra Robinson: Peter Pakled> :: hums and straightens his Pakled Pop Up Store ::
Tarisa: ::Closes the console after the upload. She then does her rounds in the lab.::
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: I have not encountered sentient plants.
CdrBrown: ::raises an eyebrow:: Sentient?
Alexis McFarland: ::walks closer to the store::
Scott Coleridge: ::hears "sentient plants" and wonders what he has walked into::
Nijil tr'Korjata: It's deck 187 and 188.
Tarisa: Miana> I have never been in there.
Chirakis: +Tarisa+ Commander, is it possible that these varied plants are sentient?
Alexis McFarland: Me too.
Chirakis: +com+ Or have an inkling of sentience?
CdrBrown: ::looks at Scott walking on to CnC::
Chirakis: :::nods to Scott, waiting for the reply:::
mimipavilion: ::rubs her temples from the slight headache she's getting::
Amanda Davis PhD: :::goes for more coffee:::
Amanda Davis PhD: :::desperately needing a scone:::
Tarisa: ::Stops what she was doing to think on that.:: +Chirakis+ It is always entirely possible, but we have yet to see communication. Only rampant growth.
CdrBrown: (if a sadistic dentist shows up, I'm going to the bar....)
Sierra Robinson: Ah Upload complete. I hope it helps .
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: Perhaps very sophisticated. Perhaps the more they grow the more they can sense from their environment.
Chirakis: +com+ Thank you, Commander.
Chirakis: ::nod to Cayne::: Possibly.
Tarisa: Miana> ::Enters the store with Alexis and Annisha.::
Sierra Robinson: :: walks over to Nijil :: All done sir...of course there may be more updates from science.
Chirakis: ::Cayne:: Thank you, Commander. We should receive more information... hopefully soon.
Sierra Robinson: Peter Pakled> :: dusts his cases of Self Sealing Stem Bolts and more ::
Nijil tr'Korjata: I am weary of cleaning things up.
Alexis McFarland: ::looks around:: ooh, smells nice.
CdrBrown: ::heads back to his console, runs another sensor sweep::
Sierra Robinson: I think all the environmental systems share your sentiment sir. :: sips coffee ::
Chirakis: ::D’Ka>:: {{ Relax Kh’éile. There is more to this than meets the eye.}}
Tarisa: Miana> ::Nods.::
Chirakis: :::blinks, almost dousing herself with hot coffee:::
Alexis McFarland: ::smiles::
Nijil tr'Korjata: You know, lag from being with the Yith, then here.
Chirakis: ::to d’Ka:: {{What exactly do you mean?}}
Sierra Robinson: Give yourself time sir....What you experienced cannot be whisked away overnight.
Nijil tr'Korjata: No, it is not.
Chirakis: ::D'Ka>:: {{Something more normal for plants}}
CdrBrown: ::to Noip:: long and short range sensors clear except for expected merchant traffic and fleet vessels. Ops Normal, approaching 1000 local time.
Sierra Robinson: hopefully we will have the time...and not be consumed by plants.
Cdr Wyatt Cayne: Growth rate being computed...

Chirakis: Well, now... we've moved into the realm of stranger than strange.
Chirakis: TBS will be 4 hours.
Chirakis: It will give us something to think about.
Chirakis: Anything from you, Commander Coleridge?
Scott Coleridge: Nope
Chirakis: Questions or comments for the crew?
Chirakis: Seeing none....
Chirakis: Crew dismissed. Be well. Be Safe. Don’t forget your towel.
