= USS MANTICORE BRIEFING #1237, STARDATE 52309.18 = starfleet

= Manticore has been sent to Starbase 23 near the Romulan neutral zone to confirm a new weapon designed against the Changelings. Along the way, they received a distress call, the sender of which claims to be the son of Captain McFly and Commander Kenickie but DNA tests conclude that Erich is the real father. He does, however, bring warnings about the future. McFly decides to cautiously continue with the mission along with calling for fleet backup. Upon arrival to the station, an away team met with the woman leading the project, Dr Moira Taggert. She performed a weapons test on a compound approximating Changeling physiology. And then suddenly, Romulans! They planned to destroy the station, saying it had been taken over by Changelings. McFly was able to suspend their attack with the condition they root out any Changelings on board. So far, they haven't had much success. The Romulans gave them the remainder of their time but they need to find something, and quick. = starfleet

:: walks over to resume her work on the Engineering terminal ::

::Sighs at her console:: not picking up anything new

:: Reading Nathan's medical file over again ::

::at Science II, looking over her readouts::

:: Still at Ops, doing Ops stuff ::

+Faldek+ Saboteur?! Are you sure?

::still observing his surrounds::

::in the station's infirmary, looking over data from the blood screenings, trying to detect any potential anomalies::

+McFly+ Tyrel has confirmed the system has been tampered with, and not remotely.

I bet there is a Romulan on that station ::whispers/points::

+Faldek+ Frak! That has to prove the Romulan's suspicions right? We have to find these guys. Any ideas?

::hmm::

+McFly+ We have a telepath... Changelings are like a black hole to them.

::swivels in his little chair:: ...Captain? Any chance the saboteurs could just be advance Romulan agents? Perhaps that should be ruled out?

::Mutters:: Phasers on wide stun gets them too

+Faldek+ Wait, really?! Why don't we use-nevermind... So you need Erich. I'll have him beam down immediately.

That, or Changelings

::walks up to Bren as he talks with Faldek:: A romulan on board the station?

9:11 PM

They did do blood tests. I assume none of them came back green. I can bring it up though.

Plastic surgery can do wonders, I mean I'm sure the Romulans have spies, we all have spies right?

::Looks at McFly:: Like I just said

:: opens her Kit and plugs some very potent LCARS chips into an access port at the terminal.....::

::nods at the blood remark:: Or, sadly, a turncoat then.

+McFly+ I hope he's in a good way to focus after the whole fiasco with Nathan and Kansas...

::nods::

::looks at Faldek, moving towards him:: What's our next move sir?

:: observes the operator log extract file open...and then clicks execute.... an typical Okudagram pops up saying this may take a moment just like windows...::

::Looks at Bren:: Could be a Vulcan who turned on their own

::looks around to all the people talking to him at once:: Alright, alright. +Faldek+ Doesn't seem like we have much of a choice... Also, let's rule out the Romulans haven't decided to manufacture a situation here.

::Looks at Pilot:: We're gonna get a telepath

1

:: stretches while seated observing things a bit in and around engineering ...three others are nearby doing work...::

Cdr. Faldek (AT)

::Looks at Pilot:: We're gonna get a telepath

((Poor Erich being discussed like a shiny new model of tricorder--er, phaser for you guys))

Ah, one more down here for the Mystery Gang. (edited)

I recall hearing somewhere that telepaths cannot read changelings, their head is like a "void"

Erich! Shake a leg and get to that station

::eyes widen:: That's not good.

McFly to +Erich+ Report to the transporter room. They need your special abilities on the station. And I don't mean to fix things.

::continues reviewing blood test data::

:: notes a long list of operators starts being listed.....with logins...::

Cdr. Faldek (AT)

I recall hearing somewhere that telepaths cannot read changelings, their head is like a "void"

((That's interesting to me, was there ever an explanation why?))

ACTION> THE CONSOLE CALLISTA IS WORKING AT SUDDENLY EXPLODE IN A FLURRY OF SPARKS THROWING HER TO THE FLOOR AND BACK A COUPLE OF FEET

(Ooof)

Bren Faliver

((That's interesting to me, was there ever an explanation why?))

((they dont have a brain lol))

:: hits her head on the deck ...hard...thwap boom ::

((I told them to stop plugging the microwave into the EPS conduit))

1

:: Taps away at Ops ::

Station Engineer> Holy.....:: runs over to Callista and pulls her away from the terminal :: + Sickbay + Medical Emergency in Engineering!!!

Bren Faliver

((That's interesting to me, was there ever an explanation why?))

((Only thing I could find was Lwaxana not being able to sense Odo.))

Station Engineer2> + OPS+ Engineering to OPS....Explosion in Main Engineering...Lt..Tyrel...is down.

+Engineering+ This is Doctor Tevek from the Manticore. I am on my way.

Oh bloody hell. ::turns and runs out the door to engineering::

What...the? (edited)

9:19 PM

::turns and follows Faldek::

I am picking up power serg in main enginerering on the station

Commander Mopar> What!!...Get people down there...quick!

::grabs his medkit and heads towards to the lift:: Engineering.

:: Wonders if she hears that right :: I will prep a bed. :: rushes over ::

::walks over to tactical:: Geez, what is it now?

Must be the saboteur....

:: Looks up from Ops :: I picked up the surge as well, Captain..

:: out cold...blood from nose and unconscious ::

:: Watching the engineering action on the station remotely ::

::shakes his head and taps his comm badge:: +Manticore+ Security to Manticore. We have a crew member down. (edited)

Commander Mopar> + Engineering+ This is the Commander...do not leave that deck.

not big enough to be an explostive... maybe a console or phaser expostion

::arrives in station engineering and runs over to Callista::

Station Engineer1> :: successfully puts out small fire on the console ::

::into engineering right after Tevek::

::kneels down next to her, opens medkit and removes medical tricorder, scans::

::turns back to his console:: Annika, could I ask you to cross-ref the data we're looking at with other relevant weapons-fire signatures? I have an idea for, maaaaybe, reverse engineering some information but I admit its a long shot....

::following Faldek, looking for Mopar::

((Sorry guys, my internet died. Give me a few minutes)) (edited)

Pilot, secure that station. I don't want anyone going near it.

Commander Mopar> :: Arrives behind Faldek :: what happened!

::pulls out his tricorder and goes to secure the station, looks to Mopar::

Begin a forensic investigation, I believe someone tried to kill Tyrel.

::taps on his tricorder and begins a forensic analysis::

2

+Pilot+ understood, do you need back up

Station Engineer1> Sir. We were working on our terminals...and then and explosion on the Lietuenant's terminal...no intruders sir.

+KK+ Stand by.

+Bridge+ What is Tyrel's condition?

::looks at tricorder readings:: Severe plasma burns...indications of concussion...potential for additional injuries. I will do what I can here, but we should get her to the station infirmary or Manticore sickbay.

Commander Mopar> Blast....There must be a changling on board. :: looks to Faldek ::

Mopar> Commander, I will need access to the logs of who accessed this terminal for the past 90 days. (edited)

Take her to Manticore. +Manticore+ Beam Dr. Tevek and Lt. Tyrel directly to sickbay.

Mopar> :: nods to EJ..clearly rattled by the sight of Callista on the ground :: Of course.

::grips her knife::

::nods to Faldek and readies for transport::

+ Faldek + Aye, Commander, energizing now.

::watches them dematerialize::

Commander Mopar> :: to Faldek :: I don't have enough security personnel to pursue an assassin like this. Bring what you need aboard.

::taps on his tricorder while the anaylsis is taking place::

:: Fingers quickly tap at his console, locking onto Tevek and Tyrel ,energizing the emergency transport to sickbay ::

((Alright, I think I'm back))

Ok Mopar, what the hell is going on with this station?

::beamed to sickbay::

:: the terminal Callista was working one has a crater where the display was....it still smoulders ::

::hears him say something about more security::

9:29 PM

::looks at the smoldering console:: For the love of Kahless...

Commander Mopar> This all started when Taggert arrived....maybe you ought to talk to her. But I think ....You should run this investigation. My personnel may of been compromised. :: clearly shaken up ::

Lt. EJ Pilot, ASEC (AT)

::looks at the smoldering console:: For the love of Kahless...

((Have you accepted your Lord and Savior Kahless into your heart))

2

First the Romulans show up claiming there are changelings aboard and literally wanted to turn it into space dust, so they don't want the experimental weapon. The communications array wasn't destroyed in the attack, it was sabotaged. Now my crew member is being targetted for an assassination attempt.

:::Whispers to McFly:: That is two less people on the station to emergancy beam out... and then boom the mother to smitherines

::looks at Mopar:: With all due respect, that is what would happen due to the fact she is one of ours..

::literally looks like he has fire in his eyes::

::gives her a look:: Enough!

::in Manticore sickbay, gets Callista placed on biobed then looks to see if Dr. Orrak is around::

::Shuts up for for now::

Do you have a brig?

Commander Mopar> Of Course.

+Computer+ Locate Moira Taggert.

KARL> ::Gruffly:: Primission to beam over and back them up Captain

Doctor Moira Tagger is in her laboratory.

::runs biobed scanner to get more detailed diagnosis for Callista::

Let's go Pilot.

KARL> I have Med training... they have none with them now

Mopar> :: looks at the mess and then his two Engineers and begins talking to them ::

::nods:: +KK+ Keep the security teams at ready.

::heads to Taggert's laboratory::

::following::

::administers hypospray for pain relief then runs dermal regenerator on burns while awaiting additional scan results from biobed::

::working in her lab; aware of what's going on but not particularly worried about it::

:: Keeps an eye on his consoles readouts :: (edited)

::rings the door chime::

There are no other expositions from that area..

::Annoyed to have her work interrupted; gets up and opens the door to the lab; sees Faldek and Pilot standing there::

Doctor, we need to talk. Please accompany me.

I'm very busy. Where do you want me to go?

The brig.

Excuse me?!

Well we can do this the easy way, or the hard way.

(I'm just a bit pissed)

::looking quite stern::

::looks over the biobed scan results for Callista::

You have no authorization to arrest me. And certainly no grounds. What is the meaning of this?

:: going to the transporter room ::

I have every authority, Mopar has given me authorization to conduct the investigation concerning the attack on this station and on my crew member. So like I said, the easy way or the hard way.

:: gets there :: Guess I am beaming over.

((Off-screen, eating popcorn with Tyrel, "Tay-zer HER! Tay-zer hER!"))

((And there's his authoritah!))

Energize.

KARL> Captain, would you like me to join the away team... I am Med certified. They are lacking a medical staff

::looks Taggert:: Doctor, if you would be so kind...

:: unconscious...::

((Pilot is a Field Medic

))

1

I hardly know what you're talking about. But I've been in my lab since the attack started securing my work. Obviously I can't allow this ::gestures to her experimental weapon:: to wind up in enemy hands.

((Faldek is medically qualified to resolve any issue, you realize. I mean, a mercy killing cures anything))

1

@ I am here and I have a good idea why.

1

Pilot, arrest her, for obstruction.

ACTION> ERICH IS TRANSPORTED TO THE STATION

Please stand up.

@ :: not beamed to where he expected::

((Will the real Moira Taggert please stand up, and put each one of her hands up...))

2

::shakes head slightly while looking at the results of the neurological scan from the biobed...pretty severe concussion::

Commander Mopar> :: hands behind back in Main Engineering debriefing the Engineers present during the explosion ::

@ :: looks for Faldek ::

::gets cuffed by Pilot:: This is outrageous! I am filing a formal complaint to Starfleet headquarters immediately!

File what you need. Now let's take a stroll.

1

You have that right, would've been easier if you just said ok and went with us.

@ :: finds or rather hears Faldek::

::applies additional hypospray to address some of the concussion symptoms::

:: has odd blurry vision experience of her .....present on Deep Space Nine again.......but working the tables at Quarks bar...announcing Dabbo....to a bunch of Cardassian and Dominion Soldiers.....:::

@Red shirt #3> we can add it to the pile lady ::To Taggert::

::heads up to the brig, spotting Erich on the way:: Chief.

@ "Faldek? What's the sitrep?"

:: Taps away at Ops:: (edited)

Wait one, Pilot continue to the brig, i'll be along shortly, I need to speak with Jaenke.

::nods, continues to Brig with Taggert::

1

::having done what he can for the concussion symptoms for now, goes back to treating plasma burns::

You don't seem to understand the gravity of my work. If you had you would of been protecting my lab this entire time instead of acting like you own the place!

:: in her blurry vision she turns her head and gazes out one of the viewports....visible from Quarks's....a Dominion Battleship is parked at the station.....returns her vision to the dabbo wheel and it begins to spin again...round and round....::

::pulls the Chief into an empty corridor::

@ "I'm on a heightened sense, so I'm libel to..."

(Dabo!)

::to Taggert:: I know I don't own the place. But I do have the authority to conduct arrests and I have exercised that authority. If you have a problem with that you're free to file a complaint at your leisure. Please silence yourself and just walk.

:::Scans the area again, annoyed::

Chief, i've heard rumors in the security briefs that changelings cannot be read by telepaths such as yourself.

You should silence yourself! And show more respect to the people that are going to save the Federation!

::shakes his head:: (thought) should have stunned her....

1

9:56 PM

::arrives at the Brig:: Please go into the cell.

:: in her blurry vision...she spies Dabbo.....and announces it...to the cheers of many....looking briefly at a mirror in her vision...she appears as a Bajoran...in one of those baymax dresses she received....the wheel spins again...round and round....::

@ "Right, they have a different brain structure."

9:57 PM

@ "Breen are not easy either."

::continuing to treat Callista's plasma burns::

So I need you to put your mental dilemma concerning Nathan and Kansas on the back burner and do a deep dive to find out if there's any deception and well changeling brain voids... Ya know what I mean? (edited)

::is shoved into a cell; turns around as the force field is raised:: Unbelievable. This is why the Federation is going to be destroyed by the Dominion. You should be asking for my help instead of looking for someone to blame. You people are all alike. Looking out for your career so you're not blamed for a Romulan attack here or a Klingon attack there. The Dominion has all of you pointing fingers at each other and forgetting who the real enemy is and it's appalling.

"Can you bring everyone past me then?"

::snaps:: Listen here! My colleague is laying in sickbay possibly because of a console mysteriously blowing up! Now you shut the f*** up! (edited)

1

But first we're going to question the uncooperative Doctor Taggert.

10:00 PM

Then we can start doing line ups.

good night

@ "sure."

Ok let's go. ::heads into the brig::

(night Tyrell)

Good job security officer. You arrested the person furthest from the crime. I hope you get a promtion for this. You've earned it.
