Captain's Log: Stardate: 2401.09

The following is a transcript of Captain Patton's Log Entry:

The evacuation of Starbase 194 has lead to more strange occurances on board. The culpret, Doctor S'reth, released a dangerous chemical througout the station. Many were injured including some of our own. We have S'reth in custody and will investigate into this.

Our shuttle Harper was assulted by unknown assailants who were holding an injured Admiral N'shi hostage. For what reasons escape us at this time, but an investigaion is under way.

Another shuttle, the Stonehenge, experienced a systems failure. Ensign Mirok and an injured Lieutenant Commander Shashar were transported away before the shuttle exploded. The subsequent blast took out part of Deck Fifteen... And twenty Engineers...

More repairs are underway as we head to our rendevouz with the Athena to gather our resources...

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Makeshift Morgue*


Kezi: *over comm* That depends on your definition of ok. I'm literally waist deep in corpses. Are you ok?

*Sickbay*

In a rare brief moment of freedom, Lennox approaches the EMH.

Lennox: Are you sure you and the patient are prepared to undertake this procedure?


*The Brig*

Sharpp still stands at the edge of the cell and S'reth is quiet for the time being.

Sharpp: It was in self defense, you know.
T'lei: *looks up from her console* Thats what the engineering reports from the turbolift say, yes.
Sharpp: And I admitted that I killed him, so why am I still here? He tried to kill me and I killed him first. The security logs confirm it.
T'lei: I suppose you are correct. However, I am concerned about your psychological state.
Sharpp: I don't see how sitting in a jail cell, covered in blood will help that.
T'lei: You seem very uneffected by this. Usually, humans are more distraught.
Sharpp: Because I know that I did the world a favor, lieutenant. That man hurt a lot of people, he was trying to kill me and he got what he deserved.
T'lei: I am releasing you, but I will have Ensign Dammers escort you to your quarters. You will be under psychiatric and medical observation until further notice.

The forcefield is released and Sharpp follows Dammers out of the brig.

[MooreSpino]

*Sickbay*

EMH: If you have another option, Doctor, I'm all audio sensors...

The hologram goes to the dead body and motions to where the symbiote was housed.

EMH: The symbiote has been without a living host for almost an hour. It won't last much longer, even if we did place it in stasis. Plus I have all the knowledge of the Symboite Counsel combined. I see no other options...

*Corridor*

Reg pales at the thought of a disected corspe.

Lt. Barclay: Oh, y-yeah... There was-- Never mind. I'll explain l-later. Just be careful... Um, I l-love you...

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Sickbay*

Lennox: I understand that, but does counselor D'la understand the risks?

*Makeshift Morgue*

Kezi: I love you too.

Kezi stands grinning dumbly over the corpse. SHe just gets that warm fuzzy feeling whenever Barclay says he loves her.

Clark: Ummm... can we finish this autopsy?
Kezi: Hmmm? Oh, yes...
Clark: I don't get what you see in him, hes a real dork.
Kezi: He is not! You don't even know him so shut up and hand me a laser scalpel!

*Turbloift*

Sharpp gets some strange glares as Dammers escorts him back to his quarters, they step on a turbolift with Lt. Barclay who gives Sharpp a very strange look. Milo decides to try to break up the silence.

Sharpp: So, nice weather we're having today.

[motom79]

*Corridor*

Counselor Mar'qet looks tired the last hours he has dealt with traumatized people and had to relief several officers of duty. He spots Dammers and Sharpp.

Mar'qet: Lieutenant Sharpp, I'm counselor Mar'qet before you go to your quarters I want to go over what happened. Ensign Dammers is there a place were we can talk in private.

[MooreSpino]

*Sickbay*

EMH: I hope so. She's applied multiple times to become a host. That's why I feel she's the best candidate...

D'ar comes back out, dressed in a patient's smock.

Counselor D'ar: I'm ready-- Oh. Doctor Lennox. Are you performing the transfer instead?

*Bridge*

Patton enters the Bridge from her Ready Room.

Capt. Patton: ETA to the Athena, Miss sh'Raazh?

[motom79]

*Bridge*

sh'Raazh antennas twitch playfully and she looks surprisingly chipper for some odd reason. But when the captain speaks she takes a professional demeanor but the smirk on her face isn't entirely gone. She just loved the fact that T'lei had thrown Bijaj in the brig. Thanks for Vulcan logic.

sh'Raazh: We will be rendezvousing with the Athena in about a half hour at current speed captain.

sh'Raazh wonders if she should say something about Bijaj but decides against it, why ruin this perfect moment.

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Sickbay*

Lennox: Oh, no. I have to go do another burn debridal. The EMH will be able to handle this well.

*Corridor*

Barclay seemed either uninterested or too terrified for conversation and stayed behind as the two officers left the turbolift. A klingon officer approaches Sharpp who has to stop himself from giggling when he announces that he is a counselor. The nearest "private" area they can find is a security station with a console and two chairs. Sharpp and the counselor both take a seat while Dammers stands guard.

Sharpp: I don't mean to sound racist... but a Klingon counselor? Isn't that a bit of a contradiction in terms?

[motom79]

*Security station 3A*

Mar'qet smiles, mister Sharpp was right Klingon counselors were indeed a rare breed. You would sooner find an illogical Vulcan one might say.

Mar'qet: Well not all Klingons dream of being a great warrior, I can tell you lieutenant my parents were greatly disappointed. But this is not about me tell my mister Sharpp how do you feel about what happened?

[MooreSpino]

*Turbolift*

Barclay wasn't sure if Sharpp was joking about the weather, but Couselor Mar'qet answered before he could. They left Reg in the 'lift, somewhat confused as to what happened...

*Sickbay*

The EMH blinked. Did Doctor Lennox just give him his approval?

EMH: Well... Thank you, Doctor. *smiles* I'll do my best. Now, Miss D'ar, if you'll follow me...

*Bridge*

Capt. Patton: Thank you, I'll take things from here...

Patton takes the center seat once sh'Raazh stands.

Capt. Patton: Anything new to report?

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Security station 3A*

Sharpp laces his fingers together and takes a moment to consider his answer.

Sharpp: Honestly, I feel nothing. I'm just glad he's dead, and only wish he would have been killed sooner.


*Sickbay*

Verrik follows the EMH who seems unusually chipper.

Verrik: Ummm... doctor? Dr. Lennox told me to assist you in this procedure.

[motom79]

*Security station 3A*

Mar'qet gives Sharpp a quizzical look, maybe the shock of what just happened hadn't settled in or he was plain and simple a sociopath. Mar'qet sincerely hopes it's the first instead of the later.

Mar'qet: Tell me about Thiar, why do you think he deserved his fate?

*Bridge*

sh'Raazh: Lt. Woods estimates the repairs to deck 15 at 24 hours but they found the reason why that deck buckled under the stress of the explosion, a forbidden compound named Feroxide. Lt. Woods thinks it was used in the explosive device used earlier on that deck, ma'am. Oh and our beloved XO has landed herself in jail. *sarcasm etched in every word on*

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Security station 3A*

Sharpp sighs as he prepares to tell his story and be called a liar, once more.

Sharpp: He was the superintendent when I started at Starfleet academy. I was a good student with a lot of problems, I had no family to speak of and was left a rather terrible reputation at the academy by my older sister. At first he took an interest in me because of a research project I headed involving the reprogramming of vulcanoid telomers. He was quite helpful and was a good role model. But he turned violent. He blackmailed and intimidated my into an extremely abusive, and non consensual sexual relationship. He made me stay at his quarters instead of at my dorm room. I lived in utter terror, it was just as bad as the home I left. He broke several of my bones and covered it up. But the worst party were the psychic attacks. Do you realize how utterly terrifying it is to lose complete control of your mind? The one place, the ONLY place where you are supposed to be safe, and to have that ripped away from you...

He takes a deep breath and pauses, trying to collect his thoughts.

Sharpp: But the worst part is that I wasn't alone. He brought his daughter to his office one day. She was stark naked and in some kind of a daze, and he told me to cut her. I refused, and it was that day that I constructed a weapon with which to kill him. I am told at this point, I had suffered a psychotic break. I remember very little of the two weeks following that incident, but I shot him in the head while he lay sleeping. I could live with what he was doing to me, but to let him hurt others? I was trying to protect them. He destroyed people and he needed to be killed before he could hurt anyone else.

[MooreSpino]

*Bridge*

Capt. Patton: *leans forward* Bijaj is in the Brig...? Wonderful, just wonderful!

Patton jumps out of her seat and marches back to the turbolift.

Capt. Patton: You still have the Bridge, Lieutenant... *doors close*

*Sickbay*

The hologram looses the upbeat attitude instantly.

EMH: *sourly* Of course he did... Come on, we don't have time to waste...

[motom79]

*Security station 3A*

Mar'qet: Why didn't you report him?

Mar'qet believes Sharpp, he had seen the case file against Thiar thanks to lieutenant Takei. Apparently Thiar had abused his position in Star Fleet for years and years and it went unnoticed. That was until 2 weeks ago when his own wive reported him and several students came forward with similar stories like Sharpp. Star Fleet had started an investigation, and had just 5 days ago warranted an arrest for the Admiral. But he needed to know why Sharpp didn't use official channels if they were going to help him.

*Bridge*

sh'Raazh: Aye ma'am.

((ooc: hope you don't mind Spiderviveka, Sharpp nor anybody else would be aware of this because of the sensitivity))

[spiderviveka_SC]

(OOC: Not at all, motom. it makes perfect sense.)

*Security station 3A*

Sharpp lunges forward in his seat like some kind of prowling predatory animal.

Sharpp: I did him and was nearly arrested for filing a false police report! No one believed me. Just like no one in New Berlin believed my when I showed up at the hospital with three cracked ribs and a fractured eye socket after my stepfather kicked the sh*t out of me! Ya know why? Because those types of things just don't happen in the federation. No one abuses or mistreats everyone, we are all civilized and peaceful beings. Yeah right! Everyone knows what goes on behind closed doors, but so few will admit it. There is corrpution everywhere, but if someone tries to speak out, they are called a liar and beaten back down for it! So I had to take things into my own hands, I had to survive by whatever means possible. And to think, after all these years, he came back and tried to kill me. Its a strange existence...


*Sickbay*

Verrik follows the EMH into the operating room where the counselor has been prepared for surgery.

Verrik: Alright counselor, I'm going to administer an anesthetic, try to relax.

[motom79]

*Security Station 3A*

Mar'qet merely blinks as he listens to Sharpp's rant.

Mar'qet: Settle down ensign I believe you, but you're act complicated things quite a bit. It takes time for people to see the truth, especially when it's something like this. But you know sometimes people will listen. *hands over the reports* These are classified but they support your claims, Thiar would have been arrested. We suspect he was trying to escape to Promethea.

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Security Station 3A*

Sharpp: Thats lieutenant... *takes the PADD* Promethea. So it took this long for federation security forces to catch on? Inept bastards... Of course, I am sure he worked for our friends with the ghost order. I know for a fact that he worked for Section 31. He was the reason that I got recruited into S31 and bailed out of that psychiatric facility. And its because of S31 that I am still in Starfleet. They can be very generous when you do what they ask. In any case, he was a sick son of a bitch. This doesn't surprise me in the least.

[motom79]

*Security Station 3A*

Mar'qet: Well he was a powerful man lieutenant and you may have noticed that the station was not exactly kosher, it was probably a recruiting center for section 31 and the ghost order. We will know more when we question Vieth and S'reth. If you want to talk about it some more or anything else I'm always to your disposal. Oh in the coming days you will be debriefed by Lt. jg. Takei.

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Security Station 3A*

Sharpp: Debriefed? Wonderful.

The lieutenant stands and looks down realizing that he is still covered in dried blood and brain matter. He is a rather frightening sight.

Sharpp: Am I free to go now? I really need to shower, I'm not fond of bodily fluids at all.

[MooreSpino]

*Brig*

Capt. Patton: Why am I not surprised?

Cmdr. Bijaj: Captain!

Bijaj stood quickly, trying to show as much respect as being in a cell can.

Capt. Patton: Explain yourself, Commander.

Cmdr. Bijaj: Sir, this p'tak *motions to T'lei* was insurbordinate, then made one of her lackeys and stunned me! I demand to be released!

Capt. Patton: *to T'lei* Lieutenant?

[motom79]

*Bridge*

sh'Raazh: Lt. Kimble eta to the Athena *leans forward and whispers* So how long do you think T'lei can hold that Klingon in the brig. I bet she'll refuse to let her out throwing star fleet regulations to the captain's head.

*security station 3A*

Mar'qet: that will be all for now Lieutenant.

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Brig*

T'lei: Captain, commander Bijaj stormed into the brig and began berating the other staff and myself, and shouting anti-starfleet rhetoric. I explained to her that I am in command of my brig, and that she will not harass those working under me. She became increasingly illogical and threw me against a wall. Ensign Dammers only stunned her to defend me.

[MooreSpino]

*Bridge*

Lt. Kimble: ETA is fourteen minutes, Lieutenant. *whispers* Vulcan is as Vulcan does. Shame you didn't get a shot at Bijaj...

*Brig*

Cmdr. Bijaj: vulqangan bInep!

Capt. Patton: Commander! *pauses* This isn't the first time I've warned you about such behavior. And it seems you haven't taken it to heart...

Cmdr. Bijaj: Sir, I do not disobey my superiors! To do so would dishonor me!

Capt Patton: Oh, you've taken care of that. I hearby demote you back to Lieutenant Commander. Lieutenant T'lei, you're free to press charges.

Patton leans in closer to the field.

Capt. Patton: I will not tollerate any more of this. Do you understand?

Cmdr. Bijaj: *gruffly* Yes, Sir.

[motom79]

*Bridge*

sh'Raazh: Oh but my day will come. *stands up and takes a commanding presence once more* Lt. Kimble send a greeting to the Athena. *taps combadge* Captain in 14 minutes we will be rendezvousing with the Athena.

[MooreSpino]

*Bridge*

Lt. Kimble: *smirking* Aye aye, Sir... *begins the greeting* Maverick to Athena, we'll be there in a quarter of an hour...

*Brig*

Capt. Patton: *taps combadge* Thank you, Lieutenant. I'm on my way... Think about this, Bijaj... *leaves*

[spiderviveka_SC]

((OOC: I'm really digging you're Shran avatar, motom. Now I want to go get a Re-Animator avvie to match!))

*Science Lab*

Alex sits at his desk, reviewing the endless sensor logs. He's heard that Bijaj is currently incarcerated, which would make him the acting first officer. He feels he's far more competent than she anyway.

*Sharpp's Quarters*

Milo sits at his desk, in clean clothes and free of blood. He attempts to distract himself, but he can't stop thinking about Vixya. He realizes that this is probably a bit odd, considering that he just killed a man. But Vixya is so much more important to him than any of that, he isn't sure why, but he cares a great deal for them.

But why would Dr. Vieth want them dead? There are spies everywhere, certainly, but why Vixya? Because they happened to work on the neural transciever disruptor with him? Or was it more than that?

*The Bridge*

Kezi walks onto the bridge, still wearing her rather filthy autopsy smock. She is awaiting the captain, because she has some very disturbing, though not so surprising news to share.

[motom79]

*Science Lab*

CPO Saron enters the science lab to check on supplies. The situation in Ten Forward has consumed most of her time but medical supplies were running low, maybe their were still some stacked in the sciences labs. She notices Lt. cmdr. Riddle lost in thoughts.

CPO Saron: Sir, can I help you with something?

*Brig*

Bijaj sulks in her cell she will make that Vulcan P'tak pay for this dishonor. Vieth meanwhile has waken up and is screaming and throwing herself against the force field. S'reth watches her with Vulcan cool.

S'reth: Lieutenant I suggest you sedate her before she harms herself.

*Ten Forward*

Tahlandi is softly crying all the pain and grieve feel to real to handle at this moment. He's cradling the PADD with the death their names but only one name matters Edo. He is barely aware of his surroundings but than the cry of a woman snaps him back to reality. He sees the medics pulling the sheets over a child no older than five or six years old and steer it's mother away. He stands up and begins to comfort the woman.

((ooc: Reanimator, I'm afraid I'm only vaguely familiar with it, didn't play Jeffrey Combs the lead))

[spiderviveka_SC]

((OOC: Yes, its probably his most famous role, outside of his trek appearences... He's my favorite actor, so I have seen every other obscure film he's made.))

*Science Lab*

Riddle looks up and is surprised to see Saron standing there, the lab is mostly empty.

Riddle: This is my office, isn't it? I am allowed to be here... I am sorry. I didn't mean to snap at you... Just catching up on paperwork. Is there anything I can help you with, chief?

*Brig*

T'lei: And its too bad that you aren't calling orders here. She can go ahead and scream all she wants, shes only hurting herself.

[MooreSpino]

*Bridge*

Patton stepped off the 'lift only to see Ensign Kezi, a bloody mess, standing off to the side.

Capt. Patton: Ensign, can I help you?

[motom79]

*Science Lab*

Saron: Yes sir, don't worry about it I feel like attacking something myself. *said in a Klingon manner but she quickly falls in her Vulcan mode* I was checking if we had any supplies that sickbay could use, it's complete chaos Sir and people are dying like flies because we can't administer proper care. This shouldn't happen on a star ship.

*Shuttlebay 1*

Thelin: Lieutenant Gillia I've completed my analysis. This weapons are defiantly the same as the ones used by the dragon team. Only slightly modified to cause a bleed out of the shield instead of the humanoid body. It's still draining our shields.

Thelin can sense everybody's mood and to top it of he can also sense their thoughts and is unable to filter it out. His head throbs with pain and concentrating is getting hard.

Freezal: Sir, are you feeling alright
Thelin: Yes cadet I'm fine

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Bridge*

Kezi sees the captain and manages to smile brightly. No matter how bad things get, shes always grinning.

Kezi: Oh, hello captain... I need to talk to you about some of my autopsy findings? In private...

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Science Lab*

Riddle: You're right, it shouldn't. I am sure that the medical staff is doing everything they can, but we were not prepared for this kind of carastrophe.

[motom79]

*Science lab*

Saron: Actually we were sir but we lost more than half our medical supplies before our mission even started during the power failure caused by the damned Reman-Cardassian device. *looking over several PADD's* Nothing here of interest.

Saron is frustrated and almost crushes the PADD. Her Klingon temperament is rising and she let's out a low growl before she regains her composure.

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Science Lab*

Riddle: I doubt you'll find anything of use left on this ship. Have you tried contacting the Athena? Perhaps they might have some medical supplies to spare.

[MooreSpino]

*Bridge*

Capt. Patton: Sure, Ensign. Let me greet the Athena and we can talk. You're welcome to wait in my Ready Room... And, uh, clean up if you want...

*Shuttlebay One*

Reg returned from Main Engineering with more repair units and two more Engineers. He wanted to find Kezi, but corpses were far from his area of comfort.

Lt. Barclay: Uh, H-how are things going, Lieutenant?

[motom79]

*Science Lab*

Saron: Yes sir but they don't have supplies to spare their own sickbay has been slammed. Why did that Vulcan doctor do such a thing, she was supposed to preserve life not end it.

*Shuttlebay one*

Lt. Woods: I'm holding up Reg, I'm just finishing up my rapport about deck 15 and getting started to write letters to the families of the 20 death engineers.

Lt. Woods looks like hell, his hair is a mess, his uniform is torn and tattered and he has dried up blood smeared over his hands. They had found the remains of two engineers on deck 15 but the sudden decompression had left little more than a bloody pile of guts and skin. The chief wants nothing more than a hot bad, some good music and the company of his son.

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Science Lab*

Riddle: Life's just full of surprises, chief. I couldn't tell you why she did it. Our own Dr. Vieth is in the brig for suspicion of murder and trying to kill a second crew member. Bijaj is under arrest for assault on an officer... a few days ago several of our crew were found to be Romulan spies. This whole mission so far has been horrible. I wonder what I've gotten myself into, but then I think of my wife and my daughter who has yet to be born... Its all rather queer, I think.

*Ready Room*

Kezi Waits patiently in the readyroom. She doesn't sit down for fear of soiling the furniture, and she doesn't clean up because she still has thirty bodies and counting in the morgue.

*Shuttle Bay 1*

Crewman Gore looks up from her work, looking equally dishevled as Woods.

Gore: You wouldn't happen to have some good news, would ya, LT? Because I could use some right now... in fact, ANY good news would be acceptable. Or even Ok news.

[MooreSpino]

*Shuttlebay One*

Lt. Barclay: Um, w-well... No, n-not really. But I brought two more Engineers to work on t-the shuttlecraft. *to Woods* Sir, we're r-running out of supplies...

*Bridge*

Lt. Kimble: Sir, we're approaching the Athena and their hailing.

Capt. Patton: On screen.

The image of the almost identical Bridge and Captain Sharpp appeared on the viewscreen.

Capt. Patton: Captain. I'll assume the trip here was just as hellish for you as it was for us...

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Bridge, Athena*

Captain Sharpp scowls as she replies to the captain.

Cpt. Sharpp: Indeed... We have taken heavy casualties and have had several of our own crew put under arrest for the crimes.

[motom79]

*shuttlebay One*

Lt. Woods: Yes I'm aware of that mister Barclay, but there isn't anything we can do about it now. You just going to have make due with what we have.

*Science Lab*

Saron: Congratulations Sir, I'm so glad for you and Captain Patton. Well I better start inventory on what we still have, maybe I'll find something useful.

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Science Lab*

Riddle: Good luck with that, let me know if there's anything I can help you with.

Congratulations indeed. Alex shutters to think what this place will be like by the time their child is born, or if any of it will even exist long enough.

[MooreSpino]

*Shuttlebay One*

Lt. Barclay: Yes, S-sir... Of c-course, Sir...

Reg scurries away before he could get on the Chief Engineer's bad side.

*Bridge*

Capt. Patton: *frowns* It's the same on this end... I'd suggest we make our way back to a starbase a good distance away from teh Neutral Zone and regroup our efforts... Unless you have something better...

[spiderviveka_SC]

OOC: I know I have a weird schedule, but goodnight!

*Athena Bridge*

Cpt. Sharpp: No, we're hurting badly. I suggest that we make our way to Deep Space 2 immediately.

[motom79]

((ooc: night Spiderviveka))

*Bridge*

sh'Raazh: Course laid in captain.

sh'Raazh wonders if this is the best course of action, they hadn't even secured Station 194 yet. What if their enemies took advantage of this situation. But the sad truth was that neither ship was in any state to protect the station from a massive invasion if one should acquire. She bites her lip and sends a message to the captain's station voicing her concern and at same time plotting the course to Deep space 2.

*Science lab*

While working on the inventory Saron is thinking about her life so far. She was the lovechild of a marriage between a Vulcan schoolteacher and a Klingon ambassadorial aid. She never really knew her father that well, he died in honorable battle when she was nine and her mother decided that teaching her the Klingon way would be illogical. But Saron had her father's temperament and she never felt at home on Vulcan and as she grew older she and her mother grew apart. When Saron was seventeen she left Vulcan and stopped her scientific studies to life on Qo'noS but she only lasted six months feeling that she was an outcast even more so than on Vulcan. The following two years she drifted from place to place working odd jobs (at one point she was a Dabo girl) before settling down and taken a non commissioned post as a security crewman aboard the USS Rodenberry. Soon thereafter she picked up her education and obtained her bachelor degrees in microbiology and computer sciences. After she earned her degrees she opted for a switch to the science department as a lab technician. Suddenly her eye falls on an isolinear rod which is quite strange seeing Star Fleet doesn't use that technology.

[MooreSpino]

(((OOC: Oooh, the USS Rodenberry. We should've named the ship that. :D )))

*Bridge*

Capt. Patton: We'll see you there, Captain Sharpp. Maverick out.

Her chair console beeped. sh'Raazh sent her a message voicing her concerns about 194. Patton began to type another message, but changed her mind.

Capt. Patton: Mister Kimble, the Titan is still in the area, isn't it?

Lt. Kimble: Uh... Yes ma'am it is. It's on its way back from Romulus...

Capt. Patton: Send a message to Captain Riker. Advise him of the situation and see if he can secure Starbase 194.

Lt. Kimble: Aye, Sir...

[motom79]

((ooc: just a little tribute to the man who gave us Vulcans, Klingons and so much more LOL))

*Bridge*

sh'Raazh gives the captain a knowing nod and types in some commands and begins analyzing the sensor logs of the last few hours.

sh'Raazh: Astrometics send my your latest sensor readings ASAP. Captain our ETA is 2 hours and 17 minutes

*Astrometics*

Cadet Kheyl: Aye ma'am

Cadet Kheyl is at the moment the only person in astrometics all personal is dealing with the crisis on deck 15 or the refugee situation in Ten Forward. He glances at the screen and rubs his eyes, and his father claimed that a life in Star Fleet wouldn't be exciting enough for him if anything at the moment he could use some peace.

[MooreSpino]

*Astrometrics*

The imposing Petty Officer Indigo enters Main Astrometrics, a grim demeanor about him. He approaches Cadet Kheyl as if there was some agenda.

CPO Indigo: *deep, gravely voice* Cadet? I am here to relieve you of duty. You may depart...

*Brig*

T'lei looks up at Bijaj from behind her console.

T'lei: Have you calmed yourself sufficiently, lieutenant commander Bijaj?
Bijaj: *begrudgingly* I will not act dishonorably, lieutenant.
T'lei: I have decided not to press charges against you, this time. *releases forcefield* It would serve you well not to let me find you here again. I will not be so forgiving next time. Now get back to duty.

The Klingon bites her tongue and grunts affirmatively as she storms out of the brig. This Vulcan will pay for her actions.


*Sickbay*

For a short time, the transfer of the Odan symbiont was touch and go. But the counselor and the symbionts lives were in jeopardy. However, thanks to the skill of the EMH and nurse Verrik, both survived and counselor Thellon Odan now rests in recovery.

Meanwhile, sickbay continues to be bombarded with patients. More and more of the trauma cases being treated in ten forward are turning critical and being transferred to sickbay. Dr. Lennox has been performing multiple surgeries back to back. Though the android does not become physically exhausted, the emotional toll is grueling.


Dr. Glover: Damn it! We need more room. I want every patient who isn't about to die out of here! I don't care if you have to stack stretchers in the hallways, we need space!

*Sharpp's Quarters*

Lt. Sharpp paces the floor as he enters one search command into the computer after another. He is trying desperately to find everything and anything he can about the vulcan S'reth. Anything to explain what has been happening aboard this ship and in the federation abroad. He still has a few hacking tricks up his sleeve from his time in section 31. He plans to break into their database, which should be quite possible from his location, considering the number of operatives that have been uncovered on teh ship

Someone rings the buzzer at his door and he panics.

Sharpp: Computer! Close all files! Yes? Come in!

Vixya walks through the door and gives a strange look to the obviously nervous lieutenant.

Vixya: Is everything ok?
Sharpp: Yes, everythings fine. Are you Ok? You had me scared to death!
Vixya: Yeah... the doctor said I should be fine, I just might have some memory loss problems for the next week or so... What have you been doing in here?
Sharpp: Oh, just some research. I'm glad to hear you're alright.
Vixya: Yeah, about that. I was wondering if I could stay here.
Sharpp: By all means... you don't even have to ask, Vixya.

The J'naii wraps their arms around Sharpp. Normally both of them would be appaled by such an act of affection, but for the time being, its quite comforting.

Sharpp: Let me make you something to eat.
Vixya:*smiles* That sounds great, I want some has'perat and you can tell me why you killed the admiral.
Sharpp: Who told you about that?
Vixya: Its all over the ship... what did he do to you, Milo?

Sharpp joins Vixya at the table after he hands them their food. He's getting sick of repeating it. But he would much rather talk about something so painful with Vixya than anyone else. If he could tell everything that happened to some callus Vulcan security officer and a Klingon counselor. Though he maintains a fairly calm exterior, it never becomes any easier to relive.

Sharpp: It was when I went to the academy...

*Ten Forward*

Nori takes a hard blow to the face and is knocked backwards. A klingon growls out in anger.

Klingon: I told you I did not want a shot, starfleet!

Nori Cat regains her composure and wipes the blood from her nose. The klingon thinks she will not react, and Cat uses this to her own advantage as she tackles the klingon and brings him to the ground, wailing on him with a rain of punches and scratches, she truly lives up to her last name. She finds herself being pulled off of the klingon by two of her fellow officers, her nose still gushing out blood.

Winter: Alright, Nori, calm down!
Nori Cat: That bastard hit me!
Klingon: Starfleet! How dare you try to dishoner a Klingon!

[MooreSpino]

*Sickbay*

Nurses and doctors began moving the non-critical patients into the secondary Sickbay they set up across the corridor. Compared to those injured, it was but a handful.

EMH: *walking to the bed* Sorry to distrub you, Miss Ryoux, but we need this bed for the more critical patients...

Katian: *groggy* Where's Lennox...?

EMH: He's performing his thirteenth surgery today. Now lets get you next door.

The hologram helps Katian onto a antigrav stretcher and passes her to a nurse.

*Ready Room*

Patton leaves the Bridge to sh'Raazh once again to speak with Kezi.

Capt. Patton: Now, Ensign, what did you wish to tell me?

[motom79]

*Astrometics*

Kheyl: Aye Sir, the bridge is requesting our sensor data.

*Bridge*

Cadet Woods walks onto the bridge making nervous purring sounds. His yellow eyes are fixed on the PADD he is holding.

sh'Raazh: Can I help you cadet.
Cadet Woods: I have the latest causality list
sh'Raazh: *sighing, the guilt looming heavily on her mind* I'll make sure that the captain will get this thank you cadet.
Cadet Woods: Thank you ma'am

The Catian cadet stalks away feeling sick and angery. The last few days have been a non-stop hell for everybody.

*Science Lab*

Saron: Sir do you have any idea how an isolinear rod ended up between the rock samples?

[MooreSpino]

*Astrometrics*

CPO Indigo: Then, if there is no objection, I would like your assistance.

Indigo takes a seat beside the Cadet and begins to type instructions. After a mament he looks up, a look of concern that was strange on his alien face.

CPO: I realise we have not spoken before, but how have you been, Cadet? It has been a perioulus journey for all...

[motom79]

*Astrometics*

Kheyl: Yessir, what do you want me to do?

Kheyl manages a weak smile before he answers. The truth was that he felt emotionally drained by everything that had happened. Three of his fellow cadets have died in the last couple of days, one of them he considered a friend. Kheyl didn't share his father's beliefs on death, he considered StoVoKor a Klingon myth. But he decides to hide his real feelings and gives the standard Klingon response.

Kheyl: Well we Klingons life for danger, gives us a change to die in glorious battle *his voice trembles a little*.

[MooreSpino]

*Astrometrics*

CPO Indigo: I only require that you corrliate the data I send you using that console...

Indigo began feeding the information to Kheyl's station. He continued speaking as he worked.

CPO Indigo: Your people are known for such fearless bravado in danger, correct? It is a curisoity to my people... Pllease double check this scan information.

[motom79]

*Astrometics*

Kheyl: Yes we Klingons have built our entire society around honor and glorious battle. Yes sir it's background noise. We life to die in glorious battle but I prefer to die peacefully in my sleep.

*Shuttlebay 1*

Thelin is trying hard to concentrate what people are saying but everything is becoming a blur of noise and soon he will be overcome by his own telepathy. This has happened before when he was a child but he had learned to control it, or so he thought.

Lt. Gillia: Lt. Barclay the weapons were Federation in origin. We also have a partial information on the Boudica, it uses outdated Romulan technology. How the heck did a bunch of 'traders' end up with Romulan and Federation technology?
Freezal: *to ensign Thelin* Sir are you sure you are feeling alright?
Thelin: Yes just a mild headache, it will pass.

((ooc: nothing sinister going on with Thelin it's stress induced)

[MooreSpino]

*Shuttlebay One*

Reg scratched the back of his head.

Lt. Barclay: Hm... Possibly... Uh, well, maybe they w-were friendly with the Romulan government and traded for it. Another ship or... Or Federation weapons... *trails off*

*Astrometrics*

Indigo smiled briefly as he sent the readings to the Bridge and turned to face Kheyl.

CPO Indigo: That is the belief of the Burkila Fado. We wish to live and die at peace with ourselves and our suroundings. Dying in bed can be a great thing...

[motom79]

*Astrometics*

Kheyl: Well maybe I should study your people's philosophy, Sir.

*Shuttlebay One*

Freezal: Sir you look worried, do you think it's related to what happened to Maverick?
Thelin: Well it was similar to those weapons we encountered earlier. Ouch *grabs his head* Sir if you'll excuse me I think I should go to sickbay.

[MooreSpino]

*Astrometrics*

Indigo picks up an empty PADD and begins to type.

CPO Indigo: I am willing to share my documents with you. *hands Kheyl the PADD with access codes* But now you are officially relieved. Good evening, Cadet...

[motom79]

*Astrometics*

Kheyl: *standing up and takes the PADD* Thank you sir and qua'pla.

*Shutllebay One*

Ensign Thelin leaves the shuttlebay and almost collapse with pain but manages to drag himself to sickbay before passing out of the pain. Dr. K'ira how is accompanying a patient to the temporary sickbay notices the ensign dropping on the floor and rushes to his side, her medical tricorder reveals that his neocortex, specifically the parts involved in Aenar telepathy are overstimulated. Thelin seems to suffer from a rare but not uncommon affliction found in Aenar/Andorian hybrids, that extreme stress conditions can cause an over stimulation of the neurotransmitters responsible for their telepathy and resulting in stimulus overload for the unfortunate soul. Luckily it's easily treatable an neuroblocker should do the trick. Doctor K'ira administers the drug and summons two medics to bring him to the temporary sickbay for observation.

Er-Gon: Lieutenant Barclay how do you want to handle this?

Freezal is feeling a little nervous, shouldn't they inform Lt. Woods or the captain about there findings. She is absentmindedly scanning the shuttle but doesn't really notice the readings. Lt. Barclay doesn't exactly inspire her with great trust he is overly nervous and seems preoccupied with something. She also is worrying about the Andorian ensign that just left, what was wrong with him? Did that unknown weapon cause neurological damage in some way, her mind is racing to all different direction.

[MooreSpino]

*Shuttlebay One*

Lt. Barclay: Oh. W-well... I'm not authorized to handle any investigations l-like this... We should tell our surperiors...

Woods was working on the other side of the bay. Reg took the tricorder findings and walked over.

Lt. Barclay: Uh, S-sir... You need to see this...

[motom79]

*Shuttlebay One*

Lt. Woods: Yes what can I do for you lieutenant *takes the PADD and skims it* Great. *taps combadge* Woods to the acting chief of security, we just uncovered evidence that the weapons fired upon the Harper were Federation in design. Good work Reg, *turns to his team* Good work people.

Every engineer in the shuttlebay looks tired, most of them had been up for more than 24 hours straight. Before he was interrupted by Lt Barcaly he was coordinating with Lt. jg. Ritan, how was in charge of main engineering, on how to keep the warp intermix optimal. Luckily it was a minor problem and easily correctable. The chief begins to wonder if he will ever make it to main engineering again.

[Mikoyo80]

*OOC* Sorry, haven't had time to post in a few days but at least had a couple of minutes to look in from time to time.

*Brig*

Zan had wanted to be there for the transfer of Odan but decided that he was needed more in the Brig to assist T'lei and the others. He raised an eyebrow as Bijaj left and took a deep breath. It had been a long day and he was sure that he was not the only one who was tiring. It seemed that Zan at least was getting some sleep as he felt more like his old self, punching inmates and being so easily provoked being signs of this, but the idea was rather strange as he didn't know if the symbionts slept anyway. He surveyed the scene once more as T'lei continued with her duties and wondered if anymore senior officers would need shooting before the day was over.

[motom79]

((ooc: no problem))

*Brig*

S'reth was meditating in her cell but Vieth was still screaming. Suddenly she stopped the silence was almost worse.

Vieth: Ensign Zan, isn't it? I'm ready to confess my sins.

If S'reth had noticed what Vieth was doing she didn't let it on she just sat there in silent prayer.

[Mikoyo80]

*Brig*

Raian looked over at the cell and then to the console where T'lei had been standing moments before, only to see that it was now empty. He shrugged as he looked back at Vieth and took a seat, determined not to lose his cool again. The last thing anyone needed right now was another scene in the brig after the murder of Emony and the incident with the newly demoted Lt. Cmr Bijaj. He sat forward as he eyed the betazoid doctor. He wondered why him and why wait for everyone else to leave the room. Perhaps his earlier performance had made him appear vulnerable somehow, and that he didn't want to repeat.

Ensign Zan: I'm listening doctor.

[motom79]

*Brig*

Vieth: I did this, all of this because the Federation is weak. They allowed my homeworld to fall in the hands of the Dominion. They allowed my entire family to be slaughter by Cardassian scientist how used them as some labexperiment. For the longest time I tried to uphold and believe in the Federation ideals untill Thiar showed my the way. If we want to survive we have to destroy our enemies completely. So I began working for Section 31. I was put on this ship to get close to our chief medical officer the Android Lennox. As a doctor I would have had access to him and work along side him. But than that annoying pest Li came aboard and begin digging into matters that didn't concern him so I had to kill him to protect the mission. Another unstable element was Sharpp, a former agent and mentally unstable. I unhinged him using my telepathy to break his mental stability, I must say it worked almost perfectly until my partner took an unhealthy obsession with that little freak so I had to kill her. I blow up deck 15 but my plan failed she lived long enough to do a confession to Sharpp. My other target wasn't there some Cardassian ensign named Tahlandi why they want him death is beyond my. I tried to kill him before but his roommate got in the way. *pauses* I was supposed to leave the ship together with Thiar and the database of the Maverick. I stored it in the science labs together with an isolinear rod I obtained from Li. Oh and I was responsible for the deaths of the Shittu's I was supposed to kill the child too but I couldn't do it. Now you know everything.

Vieth sits down strangely calm, she didn't tell the ensign that she was planning to sell information to Daro or that it was Daro who wanted ensign Tahlandi death. She stares at Zan but the neurosupressor prevents her for reading his thoughts, an eerie experience for her seeing that she can't read others facial expression without reading their minds. But she hopes she has at least put some seed of doubt in his mind.

[Mikoyo80]

*Brig*

The trill frowned but did not lose his cool, despite really wanting to. So she was responsible for just about everything that had happened recently, other than of course the mass murder commited by the vulcan occupying the cell next door. In a way, he sympathised with the betazoid woman as it couldn't have been easy seeing her own family killed but the fact that she was willing to kill the families of so many others disturbed him greatly. He walked over to the console to make sure that the computer was recording before sitting down once again. He tried to keep his face and voice tone as neutral as possible whilst trying to avoid saying anything to further aggrevate the situation, but he couldn't help but wish that T'lei had been doing this instead. What he'd give to be a vulcan in times like these.

Ensign Zan: So, as we thought, you're in section 31 but so was Admiral Thiar? This goes deeper than I thought. Anyway, you had been working alongside said admiral and another person, the crewman who confessed to Lt. Jnr Sharpp. You were also involved in the eventual killing of Lt. Li and the murder of the Shittus. Any particular reason that they became a target?

[motom79]

*Brig*

Vieth: Doctor Shittu's research was fonded by section 31, he didn't know this of course. His research in genetic modifications was of interest to us. His wive was one of our agents but she wanted out so I brainwashed her and injected an explosive device into her bloodstream. She wasn't supposed to blow herself up on the station but on a shuttlecraft.

S'reth has stopped meditating and is listening to Vieth and Zan but doesn't do anything but stare in her cool Vulcan way.

[Mikoyo80]

*OOC* Good Night

*Brig*

Zan continued to listen to the betazoid as she explained her reasons for wanting the Shittu's dead. It still didn't explain why a child was targetted to die but he supposed that it didn't really matter anyway. He nodded as he stood up and glanced over to S'reth, whom he had noticed was now watching them quietly. He couldn't think of anything else to say for now so decided to at least try and contact T'lei, where-ever she may be.

Ensign Zan: Thankyou Dr. Vieth. Zan to Lt. T'lei.

[motom79]

((ooc: goodnight for me to {the child was just an innocent bystander that got in way}))

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Shuttlebay One*

T'lei strides into the shuttlebay where a group of engineers are standing, talking amongst themselves intently.

T'lei Lt. Woods? What's going on here?

*Ready Room*

Kezi clears her throat and holds her hands behind her back.

Kezi: After some very careful digging, I found a neural tranciever in what was left of Admiral Thiar's brain. However, it was not federation in design.

*Science Lab*

Riddle stands up silently and walks nearer to where Saron is standing.

Riddle: *concerned* What isolinier rod?

[motom79]

*Shuttlebay one*

Lt. Woods: More bad news I'm afraid. The weapons that were fired upon the Harper were Federation in design. *hands over the PADD* We also found that the Boudica used outdated Romulan technology.

*Science lab*

Saron: I have no idea but I don't think Lt. Dao uses this technology to record her geological findings Sir.

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Shuttlebay 1*

T'lei looks over the PADD, if she weren't Vulcan, she thinks to herself, she would be revolted by all of this.

T'lei: I see...More evidence indicative of a fedaration, romulan, cardassian, and dominion alliance. This could potentially lead to a full out civil war.

*Science Lab*

Riddle picks up the rod and holds it to the light.

Riddle: Well this is just downright suspicious... I would like to know what is on it, of course that could potentially be quite dangerous.

[motom79]

*Science Lab*

Saron: I agree Sir, maybe we should take this to security.

Saron hadn't noticed the microscopic data chip containing the Maverick's database underneath the pile of rock samples, seeing that her eyesight was still compromised due the attack by the Vulcanoid. She feels exilirated and scared by her find what deep and dark secrets lay buried in this data container and who put it there.

*Shuttlebay One*

Freezal: *scared* Civil War, oh my lords
Lt. Woods: Don't worry Cadet we aren't at war yet and I bet the captain will do everything to prevent it.

Lt. Woods releases that these are empty words but he couldn't have anybody on his team succumbing to stress or fear, even somebody so inexperienced as Freezal was an asset with his diminished engineering crew.

*Corridor outside Sharpp's quarters*

Lt.jg. Takei is standing with a PADD in his hands, he just read the latest report about Dr. Vieth's confession and feels his stomach turn. The prospect of talking to Milo Sharpp isn't something he looks forward to but he needed to make sure that this jumpy scientist will keep his mouth shut, the Federation couldn't afford such a grave diplomatic scandal.

Takei: *presses the bell* Lieutenant Sharpp, this is Lieutenant Takei for your debriefing.

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Science Lab*

Riddle: Or engineering... but they're all quite swamped. I'm afraid it might have some sort of virus or who knows what else on it. But you're right, lets take it to security, ASAP.

*Shuttlebay 1*

T'lei: Thank you very much for this report and keep me abreast of any devolopments. Now unless there is anything else...

*Sharpps Quarters*

Vixya is fast asleep and Sharpp is still searching for answers, the proverbial needle in a haystack. He is about to illegally access a federation database when the door buzzer rings out. He scurries to hide all incriminating evidence of his activities before going to answer it. He goes to meet whomever this guest may be at the door.

Sharpp: Enter!

[motom79]

*Sharpp's quarters*

Lt.jg. Takei enters Sharpp's room looking positively scared he hands over the PADD and starts to talk.

Takei: *almost whispering* This is a statement that will exonerate you from all wrongdoing. You basically say that you were temporal insane because of the constant mental attacks by Dr. Vieth and Admiral Thiar and that you won't go public with your knowledge. In turn for your silence you can keep your position with a promotion to full lieutenant, if you refuse our terms *suddenly all the shyness is gone* you will be arrested and put before a court martial. You will be branded as a traitor unfit to even serve on a Ferengi Tradeship. I hope we can come to an agreement.

*Science Lab*

Saron: Yessir

*Shuttlebay one*

Woods: Yes of course lieutenant, how is Lt. cmdr. Shashar doing?

((ooc: Takei is not a traitor, just an evil Federation Bureaucrat))

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Sharpp's Quarters*

Sharpp: You really must think I'm insane, lieutenant. I made the mistake once of covering my ass. I ended up working for section 31 and creating devices and neuro-toxins that have lead to countless deaths. I am not about to make that mistake again, I don't care what you plan to do with me I simply can't let this be covered up. Don't you realize whats at stake?

*Shuttlebay 1*

T'lei: Shashar? Oh, he's still in critical condition.


*Security*

When Riddle and Saron arrive at security, ensign Amador is heading the console.

Riddle: Hello, ensign. Is T'lei available?
Amador: No sir, she is meeting with the engineering staff. She should be back shortly.
Riddle: Very well. *to Saron* do you mind a short wait?

[motom79]

*Sharpp's quarters*

Lt.jg. Takei let all the pretense go, this little fool will not do anymore harm to the Federation.

Takei: listen to me you annoying little pest if this goes public we could have a war on our hands, I'm trying to protect the Federation and it's interests. Just sign the damn document and keep your mouth shut, this deal benefits everybody you keep your post on the Maverick no questions asked and the Federation keeps the peace. We offer you a second change to start with a clean slate *sees Vixya* You don't want them to find out everything about your past now do you *hands over a PADD with a false acquisitions about Sharpp and his alleged sexual abuse of Admiral Thiar's daughter? Yes I know this isn't true but they don't know that and let's face it mister Sharpp this report makes you look like a monster.

*Security*

Saron: No not at all Sir, what do you think is on this isolinear rod?

((ooc: re animator avatar?))

[spiderviveka_SC]

((OOC: yesh! I love re-animator))

*Sharpp's Quarters*

Milo takes the PADD and paces about the room.


Sharpp: Maybe I am a monster... who knows. I am trying to protect more than my own reputation and well being. Hell, I don't really expect to be alive in a year from now anyway... But, if I tell the truth about this mess, others will as well. We have thousands of witnesses on this ship alone. Are you going to blackmail every single one of them?

Sharpp puts the PADD into the replicator and sets it on recycle.

Sharpp: You're sick, all of you. If you want to put an innocent man in jail for things he would never dream of doing, be my guest. But I will always maintain my innocence and tell the truth for as long as I live.

[MooreSpino]

*Ready Room*

Patton leans forward, resting her elbows on the desk, and rubs the bridge of her nose.

Capt. Patton: *mumbles* Not Federation... So Thiar was in on the conspiracy. Like everyone else, it seems... What kind of neural tranciever, Ensign?

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Ready Room*

Kezi: Well... I am not completely certain, but it seems to be dominion in design.

[motom79]

*Sharpp's quarters*

Takei: But we both know you aren't an innocent man Milo, you made all of this possible, believe me we could make your life a living hell. If you don't care what we do to you fine but I'm willing to bet that you don't want your Jinaii friend to be hurt in all of this. *hands over a new PADD* this is compelling evidence that it is a wanted felon on the Klingon home world. Oh yes all false of course but perception is truth Milo and I'm sure you don't want your friend to rot away in Rura Penthe, think about it Milo you have 15 minutes to reconsider our your little friend will find itself on a prisonership to Rura Penthe.

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Sharpp's Quarters*

Sharpp: And if I still refuse, you will still have one very vocal starfleet officer on your hands. I know this game, you will keep raising the stakes until I break and give in. Did I make this all possible? No, I contributed, don't get me wrong, but I didn't forge secret alliances with our enemies or kill off innocent people over blood money. Sort of like what you're doing right now. I guess none of us are truly innocent, are we? But what I really want to know is, why not kill me? That would silence me. I have a history of depression and suicide attempts, you could just make it look like a suicide and be done with it. Why keep me alive?

[MooreSpino]

*Ready Room*

Capt. Patton: And if it is, then we're back at Prometha and the Dominon/Romulan Alliance...

Patton stands and walks to the window. She stares out at the stars, like always when there was troubling news.

Capt. Patton: This has me worried as to how far up the ladder this is going... how many of our own have betrayed the rest of us... *turning back to Kezi* Is there anything else to report?

[motom79]

*Sharpp's quarters*

Takei: Unlike you mister Sharpp I don't have blood on my hands and I intend to keep it that way. Good day think about my offer, if I don't hear from you in 14 minutes the deal is off and you and Vixya will be placed under arrest. It's a shame it had a promising career.

Takei walks out of Sharpp's quarters certain that the lieutenant will be a problem but he was right about one thing though how the hell are his superiors going to keep a lid on everybody. It's simple impossible to silence a thousand plus people so why target Sharpp.

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Sharpps Quarters*

As soon as Takei leaves, Vixya springs out of bed, startling Sharpp.

Vixya: He can't be serious!
Sharpp: Oh, I think he is.
Vixya: I heard everything. I always knew there was corruption, but this is ridiculous.
Sharpp: Listen, I don't want you to get dragged into this.
Vixya: Well you can't possibly sign that confession.
Sharpp: If it means protecting you-
Vixya: I appreciate the sentiment Milo... but there is a lot more at stake than you and I.
Sharpp: Of that I am quite aware.
Vixya: You have to stay here I know... but I need to go have a discussion with Lt. Takei.
Shapp: *nervous* What do you intend to do?
Vixya: Negotiate, because a Klingon penal colony doesn't seem very comfroting, and neither does allowing them to try to cover this whole scandal up.
Sharpp: Vixya, please, don't do anything stupid. At least let me go with you.
Vixya: You're being monitored, they'll come after you if you leave this room. I need you to try to cover for me. *takes off comm badge and places it on a desk* We have nothing to lose.

And with that, Vixya storms out of the room before Sharpp can protest. He stares back at their combadge and hopes that they know what they are doing.

*Corridor*

Vixya trots behind the lieutenant and manages to catch up with him.

Vixya: Lieutenant Takei, I need to talk to you!

*Ready Room*

Kezi: No sir, there's nothing else.

[motom79]

*Corridor*

Takei is surprised to see the Jinaii running towards him but he manages to get his act together and acts like shy and uncertain criminologist Takei.

Takei: *blushing* Yes ensign what can I do

((ooc: I'm aware this contradicts earlier posts but I always intended him to be sorta evil I just didn't want it to be in plain sight.))

[spiderviveka_SC]

(OOC: Ahh, i love that sort of duality in a character.))


*Corridor*

Vixya: Its about Lt. Sharpp... can we go somewhere more private?

[motom79]

*Corridor*

Takei: *whispering* No ensign you can say whatever you want here in plain side. Go on what do you want.

[spiderviveka_SC]

((OOC: Hope this is Ok. Not trying to god-mod))

*Corridor*

Vixya: In that case...

The J'naii strikes the human across the back of the head, knocking him to the floor. They kick him in the head again until they are satisfied he is unconscious. Then, they take his com badge off and leave it in the floor before flinging the unconscious officer over their shoulder and heading to where they came from, as fast as possible.

*Sharpp's Quarters*

Sharpp is pacing again as Vixya runs back through his door and drops the unconscious Takei on the floor.

Sharpp: Jesus christ! He's bleeding, what did you do?
Vixya: He wouldn't go to a private place, so I had to knock him out in the hall.
Sharpp: Did anyone see you?
Vixya: No, I don't think so.
Sharpp: Are you crazy? We can't have him here.
Vixya: Trust me on this. Just shut up, get some rope or something and help me restrain him.

[motom79]

((ooc: nope I was planning to write him out, he just didn't work in the great mix of things))

*Sharpp's quarters*

Takei wakes up and feels that he is restrained, he had underestimated that Jinaii ensign.

Takei: so what are you going to do with me, kill me? This is not the way Sharpp, it will get you into deeper problems.

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Sharpps Quarters*


Vixya and Sharpp both shit in chairs opposite of the restrained officer.

Sharpp: I don't plan on killing anyone.
Vixya: I'm not necessarily opposed to it though. I don't like being made into a pawn, lieutenant. Now I will tell you what is going to happen. You are going to help us. You are going to tell me who you are working for and who your other comrades on this ship are. You are also going to give me the necessary codes to destroy these little concocted police reports of yours.

Sharpp looks over a PADD that Vixya had taken off of the fallen officer.

Sharpp: Well written, not a single graphic detail spared. Tell me, lieutenant, did you write all of this smut regarding the fake sexual assault charges against me? You probably get off on this stuff, don't you? This whole thing is probably your own sick fantasy.
Vixya: So who do you work for, and who are the other operatives?

[motom79]

*Sharpp's quarters*

Takei: I work for Star Fleet intelligence, I was assigned to discreetly take out Admiral Thiar before his misbehavior caused a scandal. No mister Sharpp, I don't get of on this sick reports I just changed the names, this are the things Thiar did to his own daughter but certain high placed officials didn't want to truth to come out so when they heard what happened they ordered my to pin it on you. You killed the brave Admiral how sought to bring you to justice but I decide to give you change to escape this prosecution but you didn't wanted to listen mister Sharpp, I can help you, let me help you just sign the documents and they will leave you alone.

[Mikoyo80]

*Brig*

For some reason or another Zan had been unable to contact T'lei but put it down to the fact that perhaps she was busy. He moved back over to the console and made sure the confession had been recorded before looking over at the cells. It was quiet now that the screaming had stopped but this led to an eerie sort of silence. He felt a little uneasy and was still attempting to suppress the feeling of anger and grief until he was off duty. He wondered how things were going on the rest of the ship.

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Sharpp's Quarters*

Sharpp: *angry* Don't you see whats going on here, Takei? You aren't helping anyone but the enemy! Why do you suppose they want you to blackmail one single Starfleet officer. A scientist with a mediocre work record and an incredibly shady past? Why not the captain or any of the senior staff? Better yet, why not kill every last one of us and be done with it? It would be so much easier to blame the loss of the Maverick on internal malfunctions and leave no witnesses. There are so many inconsistencies in this little plan of S31's. It is a harebrained plot thats completely full of holes. I've read your profile, Takei, I know you're an intelligent man, just think about it!

[motom79]

*Sharpp's quarters*

Takei looks at Sharpp, he wondered if there was any merits in what he was saying had Section 31 trick him to ruin an innocent man. Had his sense of duty and loyalty blinded him to the facts.

Takei: I do as I've been told I don't question the logic of my superiors *clearly doubtful*

*Brig*

The imposing figure of crewman Grax graces the Brig. He spots his superior Zan looking quite distressed about something.

Grax: Sir everything alright.

[Mikoyo80]

*Brig*

Raian felt a little relieved that finally he had some company as the silence was starting to get to him a little. He looked over at the half klingon officer and smiles weakly.

Ensign Zan: I'm fine crewman, just a little tired. It's been a long day for everyone. You haven't seen Lt. T'lei on your travels have you?

[motom79]

*Brig*

Grax: I'm afraid not maybe we should call her again *taps combadge* Lieutenant T'lei please report back to the Brig. Things have been quite hectic indeed so how are our prisoners doing?

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Brig*

Lt. T'lei walks into the brig just as Grax asks if everything is ok. She looks beetween the klingon and the trill.

T'lei: Is something wrong?

*Sharpp's Quarters*

Sharpp leans back and folds his arms across his chest while studying the ever steady expression of Takei. He doesn't know where this conversation will take him, but since he already has the officer tied up in his quarters, it couldn't hurt to try to talk some sense into him.

Sharpp: So... what you are telling me is that you are incapable of independent thought and distinguishing right from wrong? Tell me, are you an early model android or a human being? If the latter is true, then I want you to imagine a world where no one questioned authority. You say that I have blood on my hands. At least I have the nerve to stand up for whats right. At the end of the day, who is going to have the heaviest burdan on their conscience? I, who told the truth to keep my world from becoming some kind of neo-fascist dictatorship, or you, who blindly followed orders and looked the other way while the citizens were crammed onto cattle cars and into gas chambers?

[Mikoyo80]

*Brig*

Raian sees Lt. T'lei enter and is relieved to see that she was ok after not answering his earlier communications. He put this down to a fault of some sort leaned on the console slightly as he spoke.

Ensign Zan: Nothings wrong sir, I was attempting to let you know that we have a confession of several crimes from Dr. Vieth. There must be a problem with communcations. Anyway, I'm not sure how true any of this is but it wouldn't be very clever to confess if it wasn't. Unless theres a bigger plan of some sort.

He tells the vulcan lietenant everything that Dr. Vieth had told him, although as stated he didn't know how true any of it was.

[motom79]

*Sharpp's quarters*

Takei: I, you, ...

Takei is lost for words he knows that Sharpp's words have a lot of truth in them but he will not help him to destroy the falsified reports. He just stares at Sharpp and Vixya. Wondering what they will do to him.

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Brig*

T'lei: Fascinating... if that is all true. Was there anything that provoked these admissions?

T'lei is naturally suspicious. This was very unusual behavior for an intelligence operative. Either section 31 is recruiting just about anyone these days, or there is some greater scheme to all of this. She hopes, for the sake of everyone on board, that the doctors admissions are indeed factual.

*Sharpp's Quarters*

Minutes pass and nothing is said. Sharpp takes off his glasses and rubs the bridge of his nose. The lights are far too bright, or perhaps its the sleep deprivation and traumatic head injury that are giving him a headache. Vixya just stares at their captive, unsure what to do next.

Vixya: I really don't want to kill you, but unless you help us, you leave me no choice.
Sharpp: Yeah... maybe the next operative they send will be a bit more cooperative. Ando here is all hell bent on honor and duty, he's worse than Klingon.... I know I'm not going to kill him, we could just keep him in my closet.
Vixya: On a leash? We could even get him a waterbowl.
Sharpp: We could torture him... but I know from experience, torture isn't a very reliable tool of persuasion.
Vixya: We could take out hits on his family. See how he likes having his loved ones threatened.
Sharpp: Heh, that might actually work. Have his mother or someone thrown into a klingon prison. What do you think, Ando? You know, we could just untie you, all you have to do is help us.

[motom79]

*Sharpp's quarters*

Ando Takei just stares at his captures, he wonders how far are they willing to go? He had hoped that pushing Milo to the edge would have made him cooperative but his plan had backfired and instead driven those two into desperation.

Takei: Please you don't have the power to do things like that. I can help you if you just listen to reason Milo just sign the paper be quite and everything will be fine. I can make this all go away.
Indigo: *over the com* Ensign Vixya please report to astrometics.
Takei: You two can't keep me here forever, I will not help you two. Don't you see that what I'm proposing is the best for everybody involved.

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Sharpp's Quarters*

Vixya: *groans* I'm supposed to be on medical leave. *grabs comm badge* I will be there in a minute, you caught me in the shower.
Sharpp: No, its the best thing for you. Takei, you take me for a f*cking idiot. I was in section 31 too, I know all of their little games, and believe me, they're using you. I've been there, done that... I've killed people before, Ando, people who deserved it. You don't seem to be a bad person, but if you keep threatening me and the people I care about... you're just very very mislead. Please, consider what is happening here. What do you have to lose by helping us? A comfy little job that costs how many lives?

[motom79]

*Sharpp's quarters*

Takei: I don't work for section 31, unlike you I'm not a traitor. What do I have to loose my sense of good and right, you are a unworthy maggot unfit to wear that uniform. But fine I'll help you, I'll destroy the falsified reports on Vixya. But only if you stand trail for everything that happened here.

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Sharpp's Quarters*

There is a long silence and Sharpp stares Takei in the eyes, and doesn't blink.

Sharpp: Ok... but I release you after the records are destroyed.

Milo has no intention of releasing Takei at all. He has the nerve to call Sharpp a traitor and blackmail him all in the same breath, its rather sickening. But he figures if he can get the records on Vixya destroyed, that Takei will be less one bargaining chip. One less innocent bystander. Sharpp is no traitor, which is preciesly why he can't sign that paper.

[motom79]

*Sharpp's quarters*

Takei: Untie me and I'll erase everything on Vixya. And than mister Sharpp you will accompany me to the brig ... *Takei begins to shake and his eyes roll into the back of his head*

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Sharpps Quarters*

Sharpp: Oh god damn it, whats wrong with him!
Vixya: Umm...
Sharpp: *checks pulse* Christ, his pulse has stopped and he's not breathing. Quick, I want you to untie him and lay him out on the floor and start chest compressions.

Vixya starts CPR while Sharpp takes the PADDs from Takei and searches his clothes for anything else. he finds and isolinier rod in Takei's pocket and takes it. He hides the PADDs and isolinier rod in the case he keeps under his bed, containing the remains of his beloved dead cat. He shoves the restraints used against Takei under his mattress and then straightens his uniform.

Vixya: Are we trying to save him or not?
Sharpp: Uhhh, yeah. You better get out of here. I can take care of this. *Sharpp to sickbay, medical emergency in my quarters*
Vixya: What the hell do you plan to do?
Sharpp: I'm going to destroy the evidence myself so if he lives, everyone will just think he's delirious.

Without another word, Vixya leaves Sharpp there with Takei, dying in the floor.

[motom79]

*Sharpp's quarters*

The EHM shimmers to life into Sharpp's quarters

EHM: You, who did you kill this time Lieutenant? *noticing the limp form of Takei and scans him* This man has a cocaine induced heart attack explain this Sharpp.

The EHM is baffled cocaine was an ancient earth drug but the use of it went the way of the Dinosaur at least until now.

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Sharpp's Quarters*

Sharpp: Coccaine? *tries to act concerned* Will he live?

[motom79]

*Sharpp's quarters*

EHM: Probably mister Sharpp but his heart has suffered from extensive drug abuse, I need to completely regenerate his cardiovascular system. I'm going to need your help we have no time to transport him.

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Sharpp's Quarters*

Sharpp: *gulps* My help?

Sharpp wonders if it will be possible to accidentally kill Takei. He doesn't have time for this, the sooner he can get rid of the falsified evidence, the better.

Sharpp: Wh-what do you need me to do?

[motom79]

*Sharpp's quarters*

EHM: I need you to monitor his life signs while I inject him with Bejusidrine, this meant for Vulcans with a heart condition but seeing our supplies are nonexistent I have no choice. But it's dangerous it can cause massive organ failure within humans if not dosed properly. Mister Sharpp are you paying attention.

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Sharpp:

Sharpp: Yes... absolutely. You need me to monitor his lifesigns.

It would be so easy, so very easy. All he has to do is not say something in time and all of this could just go away. Still, this was different than killing Thiar, and its different than killing that man of Irixia V. They both had ruined or taken peoples lives, they were violent and destructive entities. But Takei is so helpless right now, so weak, it just seems wrong.

[motom79]

*Sharpp's quarters*

EHM grabs the medical tricorder out of Sharpp's hands.

EHM: his condition is stabilizing but I need to get him to sickbay. What were you two doing, *scans Sharpp* at least you are clean. Two to transport sickbay medical emergency.

The EHM and Takei shimmer out of Sharpp's quarters the faith of Takei undecided. Takei's years of illegal drug abuse has finally got up with him, he couldn't handle the pressure of his job so he sought refugee to drug to function at a somewhat normal level. This dependence on chemicals has now almost claimed his life.

[MooreSpino]

*Ready Room*

Capt. Patton: Fine. Thank you for coming to me about this, Kezi. You're dismissed...

Patton followed the Vorta ensign back out to the Bridge to retake command.

Capt. Patton: ETA to the starbase, Miss sh'Raazh?

[motom79]

*Bridge*

sh'Raazh: 21 minutes ma'am. *noticing a disgruntled Bijaj entering the Bridge* Welcome back Lieutenant Commander *emphasis the later*

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Sharpp's Quarters*

As soon as the EMH and Takei disappear, Sharpp uses what skills he has acquired as a hacker to good use to get into the necessary computers and erase the necessary components. This is quite trying and takes what seems like an eternity, but at last, the lieutenant is satisfied that there is no evidence to falsely implicate him or Vixya.

Milo sits down and looks at the confiscated isolinier rod. He can't for the life of him imagine what's on it. His mind begins to wander. He was familiar with the chemical methylbenzoylecgonin (cocaine), though it went out of favor completly about one hundred and twenty or so years ago. So Takei is a drug addict, that explains his charming personality. Sharpp's own mother had been addicted to a more advanced dirivitive of diacetylmorphine (heroin). If something could destroy a person, it was addiction. And how fitting that such a little beurecratic pawn is so dependant on chemicals for his own sanity.

Sharpp drops the rod on the floor. If it is anything too incrimidating, he can claim that Takei must have dropped it.

*Bridge*

After recieving the isoliniar rod found in the science lab, Lt. T'lei and Lt. Cmdr. Riddle go to the bridge to speak to the captain. Riddle passes a very war torn looking Kezi on his way in and waits until the captain is no longer busy.

*Morgue*

Kezi arrives back at the morgue where Clark is performing external scans of the corpses, all she is qualified for.

Kezi: How many more do we have to go?
Clark: A lot, we keep getting new ones. Lots of chemical burns, things like that, the usual.

[MooreSpino]

*Bridge*

All eyes went to the Klingon.

Lt. Cmdr. Bijaj: *growling* Do not speak out of turn, Lieutenant. *sits down in right handed chair* Orders, Sir?

Capt. Patton: We're approaching Deep Space 2 for repairs and supplies. Send a request for additional crew, especially medics.

Lt. Cmdr. Bijaj: Aye.

[motom79]

*Bridge*

sh'Raazh: Aye Lieutenant Commander

Slevin enters the bridge with several trays of food. He almost bumps into Lt. cmdr. Riddle.

Slevin: oh excuse me Sir. Captain I thought the bridge crew deserved some real food after a day like today.

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Bridge*

Riddle: No problem, Slevin... captain, I need to speak to you when you get a moment.

[MooreSpino]

*Bridge*

Patton smiles wearily at the Bajoran chef.

Capt. Patton: Thank you, Mister Dakin. It's very thoughtful of you...

Slevin: *cheerfully* Well, it is my job, ma'am. Anything I can do to help...

Slevin begins passing out the trays as Patton stands and goes to Riddle's side.

Capt. Patton: I always have a moment when it comes to you, Mister Riddle. Grab a dinner tray and we can talk in the Ready Room...[/I]

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Bridge*

Riddle: Alright...

*Ready Room*

Alex follows Sara into her office. The tray of food reminds him of something they would have been fed at the academy.

Riddle: Crewman Saron found an isolinier rod hidden among the rock samples. We thought it was suspicious and took it to security. We need to see what is on it, but are hesitant to do so because engineering is so stretched and it might contain something dangerous. Suggestions?

[MooreSpino]

*Ready Room*

Sara sets her own tray down on the desk. She hadn't had a decent meal in the past two days. Only an occasional snack to keep her going...

Capt. Patton: *taking a bite* Mmm... Wait until we get repair crews from DS2, that'll free up an Engineer to work on it. In the meantime we can look for one that'd we trust enough for this. *takes another bite* Sorry, kinda hungry...

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Ready Room*

Alex isn't really hungry and moves his food around with his fork.

Riddle: *laughs nervously* Like who? I'm scared to ask anyone to do anything lately. This has been an unsettling journey thus far.

[motom79]

Name and Rank: Lt. Khaled Dammou
Age: 38
Species/Homeworld: Human born in African Union (Casablanca, Morocco)
Position: security/medic (he is a fully qualified nurse)
A brief sentence or two describing your personality: Khaled started his Star Fleet career as a nurse but after serving in the Dominion War he decide to switch to security. The Maverick is his first post as security officer. He combines good bedside manners with good combat skills.

[MooreSpino]

*Ready Room*

Sara looks up, suddenly scowling over her plate.

Capt. Patton: And if you keep bringing it up while I'm having dinner, I'll throw you out an airlock...

Lt. Cmdr. Bijaj: *over comm* Captain, we have arrived at DS2.

Capt. Patton: Then dock already. It's automated, you can handle it...

Lt. Cmdr. Bijaj: *gruffly* Aye, Sir...

Capt. Patton: *mummbling* Damn incompenent...

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Ready Room*

Riddle: *chuckles* I heard T'lei threw her in the brig. I don't suppose we could pick up a new first officer while we're here...

[MooreSpino]

*Ready Room*

Capt. Patton: *sarcastic* How about a new Captain and CSO while we're at it? Or we can just replace the whole damn crew and f***ing self desturct the ship! That'll take care of everything!

Sara slams her food tray into the replicator slot and slaps the recycle button.

Capt. Patton: *quieter* So much for my first command... Everything is falling apart... And I can't stop it...

[motom79]

*NPC*

Name and Rank: Liliaceae
Age: 12 (lifespan is 30 years)
Species/Homeworld: Cronquistian
Position: counselor
A brief sentence or two describing your personality: Liliaceae belongs to a little know plantoid species the Cronquistian. Although the Cronquistian all appear to be female they are actually a bisexual species. Liliaceae is a civilian with a degree in neuroclinical psychology and assists the counseling team from time to time.

[motom79]

*Sickbay*

Lt. Dammou is treating a patient with meld anxiety problems when the ship wide announcement was made that they arrived at DS 2. HE turns towards nurse Frasier whom was working alongside of him.

Lt. Dammou: I think this means we finally can get some rest nurse.

*Brig*

Grax: Sir if you want to get some rest maybe now is the team. The prisoners will shortly be transfered to DS 2 anyways. Maybe you should clean up you have some Vulcan blood on your uniform.

[Mikoyo80]

*Sickbay*
Finally, things seemed to have quietened down a little as the worst patients were either sedated or in surgery. Tiger looked relieved as she heard the announcement and looked over at Dammou.

Nurse Frasier: Thank goodness, we could use a little more help in here. Some fresh faces will ensure that we get a little break too. I know there's more important things to worry about right now, but if we're all tired then theres not a lot we can do right?

*Brig*

Raian sighed knowing that Crewman Grax was right. Hopefully they could all rest as soon as they reached the station.

Ensign Zan: You're right. I'd better change then I think I'll head to sickbay. I have a friend who's a nurse then and she can be a little fragile, although she tries to hide it. I'm curious to see how the joining went in there anyway. See you later.

With that, he left the brig in the care of his colleague and made his way down to Sickbay.

[motom79]

*Sickbay*

Dammou: No and the shortness of supplies isn't helping exactly ensign. But if you'll excuse I've to attend to my security duties.

Before Dammou started on his duties, he went to check up on Shashar. The security chief was still in critical but stable condition. All this reminded him of his time as head nurse aboard the USS Ghandi. They were in the front line of the Dominion Cold War and at one point he spent three days straight in the infirmary to treat patients with zero medical supplies, it was then and there that he decide to become a security officer.

*Corridor outside T'rei's quarters*

Tobias Woods and Kheyl decide to visit their fellow cadet and friend T'rei and to comfort her. Tobias thinks about his parents that he lost in the Dominion War, it's hard to remember their faces nowadays.

Kheyl: T'rei can Tobias and I come in?

*Bridge*

sh'Raazh: Lieutenant Kimble please assist me with the sensor logs.

sh'Raazh really wanted to speak to Richie but didn't want Bijaj overhearing them because their dear XO was lurking around with a bloodthirsty attitude. Not that this scared sh'Raazh but maybe it was best not to provoke her to much.

[Mikoyo80]

*Cadet T'rei's Quarters*

T'rei had not long returned to her quarters after a long shift in engineering. She had been trying to help crack the code that would have stopped the flow of toxins on board the starbase, but to no avail. She was eventually excused when it became apparent that she could no longer concentrate on her duty. She felt ashamed of this but the recent death of her father had made it difficult. She wasn't the only one who had lost her family lately though as the numerous casualties spread across two starships proved. Just then, she heard two of her fellow cadets outside and acknowledged the presence, although she was yet to work out if this was a good thing.

Cadet T'rei: You may enter

*Sickbay*

Raian entered Sickbay and couldn't help but grimace slightly. The place looked like it was in the middle of a war zone, although they may as well have been for all that had happened lately. He noticed Dammou checking on Shashar and was a little surprised as he had forgotten that he had been found. He noticed Tiger looking a little worn, and approached the caitian.

Ensign Zan: Tiger, are you ok?
Nurse Frasier: Rani! (runs to him and gives him a tight hug). I'm ok, I guess. Oh Rani, this is terrible! So many people have died and for what? I'm so tired but we gotta keep moving for now, at least until we have more staff.
Ensign Zan: Oof, I mean yeah. We're finding things out slowly but I can't tell you anything at the moment. Hopefully things will ease of a little once we reach the station. How are Odan and Shashar doing? You can let go now by the way.
Nurse Frasier: Oops, sorry (lets go). Lt. Cmr. Shashar is stable for now but we're monitering his condition, along with a few hundred others. Everything seems good with Odan, but we won't know until she wakes up.

[MooreSpino]

*Bridge*

Lt. Kimble: Of course, Lieutenant...

Richie strided over, trying to make it look like nothing was up. In reality, he could sense that Tara wanted to discuss something not work related.

Lt. Kimble: *whispering* What's up, Imzadi?

[motom79]

*Bridge*

sh'Raazh: I'm just wondering how you are holding up, Imzadi. We hadn't have the change to catch up since this mess started.

*T'rei's quarters*

Kheyl and Tobias Woods enter the Trill/Vulcan's cadets quarters. Kheyl looked unsure what was one supposed to say in a situation as this, he didn't know for sure but he was certain that the Klingon response to it wouldn't be appropriate. Tobias just walks towards and begins to purr gently.

Tobias: Do you wanna talk about what happened?

[Mikoyo80]

*Cadet T'rei's Quarters*

The vulcan hybrid kept her usual vulcanesque manner as her classmates entered her room. She motioned for them to sit down before taking a seat herself. She raises an eyebrow at Tobias' question before answering.

Cadet T'rei: Are you referring to the murder of my father or that of the majority of those on board starbase 194? I am not the only person who has lost family today, in fact I am quite lucky to still ahve family members on vulcan and trill. I thankyou for your kindness and apologize if I have offended you any way. May I get you anything to drink perhaps?

[spiderviveka_SC]

Name and Rank: Lt. Jodi Luv
Age: 23
Species/Homeworld: Trill/Meezan IV
Position: weapons officer
A brief sentence or two describing your personality: Jodi Luv, formerly Jodi Kita, reluctantly became a joined trill when she and several others were trapped in a crashed shuttlecraft and with a dying trill, and she was the only other trill available for transplant of the Luv symbiont. She have been joined for little over a year and still has "issues" with the symbiont living inside her. Other than this, she is a very mischievous person who loves guns, knives, and making things blow up. She is an expert not only federation weapons, but also Romulan and Cardassian weapons. She finds Klingon weapons, like their culture, to be quite crude.

[motom79]

*T'rei's quarters*

Kheyl: *annoyed* we were talking about your father and yes it's true that you weren't the only one who lost family today but that doesn't mean your loss is less important than the others. We all know what happened in engineering so drop the Vulcan act.
Tobias: Kheyl we are here to support her not to attack her, I'd like some milk please T'rei.

Kheyl scowls he has little patients with pretense but the Catian boy seemed willing to put up with it. Although Kheyl's words are harsh it's actually just his way of dealing with the pain and loss that he feels himself, big Klingons don't cry and even if he wanted too he was unable because he didn't have a tear duct.

Kheyl: Sorry T'rei but we know you are upset so please talk to us.

[MooreSpino]

*Bridge*

Lt. Kimble: Oh, I'm fine... You're the one that has me worried. I can feel the guilt just rolling off of you. It wasn't you fault, Tara...

He waits until Bijaj had her back turned before he attempted to rub his forehead against Tara's attenea. It was still clumsy, but not quite as bad. Richie then pecks her cheek and turns back to the false sensor reports.

[Mikoyo80]

*Cadet T'rei's Quarters*

T'rei frowned and then shook her head at Tobias.

Cadet T'rei: It's alright Tobias, Kheyl is correct. My father taught me what it meant to be vulcan and I did not wish to bring shame to him. i don't even know if his katra was tranferred before he died and this too unsettles me. I also just found out in engineering that my mother was joined, something that had either not been shared with me or misundertood due to young age, but that her symbiont is serving aboard this vessel. This makes me uncomfortable but the pain of losing my father us too great to dwell on it too much. (tears fall from her eyes) My biggest regret is I had not seen him since mother's funeral and I had no chance to say goodbye properly.

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Readyroom*

riddle walks over to Sara and puts his hands on her shoulders, an attempt, as weak as it may be, to try to bring her some comfort.

Riddle: Sara, this isn't you're fault. These are circumstances beyond all of our control... well, of of the loyal officers, at least.


*Sickbay*

Many of the medical crew are trying desperately to stay awake and alert. A wave of relief washes over everyone when they hear that they have arrived at Deep Space 2.

Lt. Cmdr. Shashar is still in critical condition and no one is certain that he will survive. But then, sickbay is crammed with patients on the exact same status. Lennox looks over the beds in the medical bay and finds himself back at the cardassian internment camp. All of the suffering, screaming children, the horrid stench of death.

Lennox:*in a raised voice* Everyone, can I have your attention. We are at deep space 2, so as relief teams arrive, I want you guys to start filing out. You all need to go home and get some rest. We still have a lot of work ahead of us.

*Bridge*

Lt. Luv walks onto the bridge and takes the post at tactical. She notices Bijaj growling at her. The two of them never got along well, but then again, who did get along with that insidious Klingon woman?

[motom79]

*Bridge*

sh'Raazh: Thank you Richie.
Bijaj: Lieutenant Commander sh'Raazh return to your station before I put you on report, unworthy p'taq.
sh'Raazh: Yes ma'am

sh'Raazh manages to remain cool but she is twisting and turning her tongue longing to give Bijaj an acid response.

*T'rei's quarters*

Tobias: I'm sure your father will be proud of you no matter what. Maybe you should talk to the person who is carrying your mother's symbiont it could give you some closure. I know would like a change to speak to my parents once more.
Kheyl: Maybe we can found out if his Katra was transfered?

[MooreSpino]

*Ready Room*

Sara can feel the first trickle of tears, but instead of crying on her husband's shoulder, she only swallows and holds herself together a little longer.

Capt. Patton: You're right... *sniffs* You're right. I'm sorry... Guess I'm just tired...

[Mikoyo80]

*Cadet T'rei's quarters*

The young cadet wipes her eyes on her sleeve as her friends continue to speak to her. She is grateful for their company as she now feels a little less depressed. She responds to their statements with a raised eyebrow.

Cadet T'rei: That would be the logical thing to do Kheyl, provided that the information is not classified. I do not see why that should be the case, especially as I am family. I don't think I'm ready to speak to the symbiont as my mother is dead and the new host will be as good as pretending to be her. I need more time. Right milk, i suppose it will be bloodwine for you Kheyl?

*Sickbay*

As medical personnel started arriveing from deep space two, Tiger was one of the first to leave along with Raian who was accompanying her. The two walked silenty back to her quarters where the caitian fed her cat in the same silence. She then stripped off and flopped onto the bed not quite sure what to do next. Socks jumped up and curled alongside her whilst her trill friend tried not to look as she had quite possibly forgotten his presence. He decided to leave her be and return to security on order to see what the current situation was.

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Ready Room*


Alex wraps his arms around Sara and buries his chin in the space between her shoulder and neck as he lets out a deep sigh.

Riddle: We all are... I think everyone here needs a good nights sleep.

*Sickbay*

Lennox watches as his staff start leaving one by one, and the new personell, doctors, nurses, and medics, start coming in to sickbay and taking their place. He speaks to them from across the room as he continues his rounds. He has no intention of leaving sickbay until things are back to normal.

*Bridge*

Lt. Luv goes to check on the status of sensors at the comm which is being manned by a rather unexperienced crewman. Bijaj stands from her seat and barks out to the trill.

Bijaj: What do you think you're doing, trill!
Luv: Its called working, you should try it some time, sir. It can be quite rewarding.
Bijaj: P'tok! If you were not a starfleet officer I would-
Luv: Kill me where I stand? You klingons are so cliche. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a job to do.

((ooc: Goodnight))

*T'rei's quarters*

Kheyl: Of course what else.
Tobias: Thanks for the milk, I can probably find out even if it's classified working in strategic operations gives me access to loads of information. We can go and check now if you want T'rei.

*crew quarters*

Mirok wakes up sweating and screaming, he had the dream about his mothers suicide again. He looks at his hands they are shaking badly he gets out of bed and begins splashing his face with water. He walks to his closet and puts on his uniform unsure where to go to seeing he was on medical leave but he needed to get away. He walks aimlessly until he spots a small Bajoran temple, he didn't know the Maverick had one. He decides to say a prayer to the prophets. The temple is empty except for Ensign Joran and Ensign Tahlandi both men are chanting a Bajoran lament for the death. The hair on his head rises as he sees a Cardassian praying to his prophets, this is sacrilegious to him but he restrains himself from verbally attacking Tahlandi. Deep down he knows that not all Cardassians are evil monsters but he can't forgive them for what they done to his mother, to Bajor. He looks for a secluded spot and begins to prayer all the while looking at the Cardassian.

[MooreSpino]

*Sickbay*

A tall red-haired woman with a commanding presence steps into Sickbay and beginst to bark orders.

Female Doctor: All right, people, I want everyone treated and out of here as soon as possible. These patients have jobs and familes to go home to. And I don't want a single life lost, understood?

The new doctors and nurses move that much faster. A pale lone figure catches the doctor's eye, her face lights up as she moves closer.

Female Doctor: And you must be Doctor Lennox. A true privilage to meet you, I'm Doctor Heather Byron. *thrusts out her hand to shake*

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Sickbay*

Lennox wipes the blood from his hands onto his lab jacket before reluctantly shaking the doctors hand.

Lennox: Yes, that is me... I trust that you are commanding the medical team from DS2.

[spiderviveka_SC]

((OOC: Goodnight))

[MooreSpino]

*Sickbay*

Byron smiles in a friendly mannor.

Dr. Byron: I am, indeed. Don't worry, we'll have your Sickbay cleand up and back in your hands in no time, Doctor. For the interim, I would ask that you and all your staff catch some shuteye, otherwise you'll stumble over your own feet. No offense of course. I mean, its not like an Android would trip over its feet, right? *laughs loudly* Well, unless it was just activated and didn't have its balance servos calibrated or something. But the whole cybernetics thing is very fasinating. I thought about getting into the field, but there was all the mecanical things involved. I'm not too keen with anything more advanced than your standared surgical bed. *laughs again* Anyway, don't you worry about anything here. I'll personally make sure that things are smooth sailing by the time you get back...

As she was talking rapidly, Byron was edging Lennox to the exit. It was a sneaky move, but she knew from experience that these starship CMOs were stubborn.

*Cadet T'rei's Quarters*

Cadet T'rei: I would like that. Perhaps we should go now and put my mind at rest. (satnds up) Are you coming Kheyl?

[motom79]

((ooc: I just put the dialog higher up it's not gone))

*T'rei's quarters*

Kheyl: *drinking his bloodwine* why not.
Tobias: Excellent let's go

[Mikoyo80]

*OOC* Oh, I see lol. Good thinking, saves double posting.

*Cadet T'rei's quarters*

The cadet nodded and waited for Kheyl to finish his bloodwine before following Tobias to Strategic Ops. There didn't seem to many people there at the moment and T'rei hoped that the information she needed could be found pretty easily. She didn't see why it should be classified anyway. She left the operation of the console to Tobias as she surveyed the area, for no reason at all other than interest.

[motom79]

*Brigde*

Hrisvalar is manning one of the secondary communication stations. Several reports and request are coming in but one strikes her as urgent but all the senior officers seem to buzzy.

Hrisvalar: excuse me Lt. Luv, but DS 2 is requesting an status report on the Maverick's arsenal.

*Strategic ops*

Cadet Woods: Found it T'rei, it wasn't classified but appartantly your father's Kathra has been moved around but a Vulcan priest named T'lana has it now. She is set to depart to Vulcan in less than 48 hours. So if you want to talk to her you'd better hurry.
Caeli: Cadets what are you doing here?
Tobias: Nothing Sir just catching up with some homework.

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Bridge*

The trill turns to Hrisvalar with a crooked grin on her face.

Luv: What, are they kidding? We have less usable weapons than a Vulcan science station! But uhh... yeah, I suppose they'll want a more official response. I'll get right on that.

*Sickbay*

Lennox is almost dizzied by the doctor's chipperness. He hasn't seen someone so happy to be alive in days.

Lennox: Well doctor, I don't question your competence. But I think it would be best if I stayed here... I don't need rest.

[motom79]

*Bridge*

Hrisvalar tries not to laugh with the remark of her superior it would be inappropriate considering the last few days. The Maverick and his crew has gone through hell and back again everybody is weary about what is going to happen next. As a communications crewman she had seen and heard the wildest rumors.

Hrisvalar: afraid so ma'am, you should see the communication dump they are throwing at us. Shall I just send a standard status report for now?

*Sickbay*

Nurse Wentzel: The latest status report on Shashar, Sir goodnight.

[MooreSpino]

*Sickbay*

Like she thought. Stubborn.

Dr. Byron: Even so, there are plenty of organic species that don't require rest that often, but still take breaks. It's good for the psyche...

Byron pushes the point further by gently shoving the Android towards the door.

Dr. Byron: Just take a short breather. Clear the mind... Or neural net. Whatever is in that nogin of yours.

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Sickbay*

Lennox starts to get annoyed.

Lennox: Dr. Byron, this IS my sickbay. I have no intention of leaving until everything is under control. This ship is far from stable.

*Bridge*

Luv: That sounds terrific, crewman. Tell them we need more sanity too, if they have any in stasis.

*Ready Room*

The tender embrace between the captain and her science officer is interrupted by a voice over the comm.

*comm* Anastasia Riddle to Alex Riddle... brother, we need to talk, I am catching a transport to earth in an hour.
Riddle: *somewhat shocked, hits comm badge* I'll be right there, Stasia.

[motom79]

*Bridge*

Bijaj: *growling* This is not a tea party ladies get back to work.
Hrisvalar: Aye ma'am *runs towards her station*

*Corridors*

Saron finally spots the Ferengi female named Kish.

Saron: You are Kish, are you not? I need a favor, I wonder if you can get this supplies? I will pay you of course.

Saron still had the earnings she made as a Dabo girl but seeing that the Federation doesn't use money it never had any real value to her until now.

[MooreSpino]

*Ready Room*

Sara wips the single tear that managed to trickle down past her defenses. She runs a hand down Alex's face and captures his lips for another kiss.

Cpt. Patton: Go... And tell Anastasia that I appriciate all she's done to help us out.

*Sickbay*

Dr. Byron: Okay, okay... I can appriciate that, but I assure you that things are under control now. My team is highly capable of handling things.

The EMH approaches with a PADD held out to Byron.

EMH: You messaged ahead for these files, Doctor.

Dr. Byron: Oh, thank you. *smiles* I didn't know they still had Mark I's working on starships.

EMH: Actually, I'm a Mark IV. Far more advanced than my predacesors...

Dr. Byron: Oh, wow! We still use the III's on DS2. Maybe I could borrow your program and do a information transfer later...

EMH: *grins* I'd be glad to be of assistance.

Dr. Byron: How about we go over the updates?

Byron grabs the hologram by the arm and drags him away from the forgotten Lennox.

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Bridge*

Jodi steps up to where the klingon is seated and snarls.

Luv: Who are you calling a lady, little girl?

*Corridors*

Kish grabs the supply list and looks over it, rubbing her chin as she bares her meticulously pointed, jewel encrusted teeth.

Kish: Well... I can get these items, but they will be quite costly, Klingon.

*Sickbay*

Lennox rolls his eyes as Byron runs off with the EMH. She finds the chief medical officer to be incompetent, yet somehow is enamored by an out of control holosuite character with a medical tricorder and a god complex. As the Vulcans would say, its simply illogical. He finds a nurse who doesn't look occupied and decides to find an assignment for him.

Lennox: Nurse! These tricorders need recalibrating....
Nurse: Sorry, I'm under order from Dr. Byron-
Lennox: To stand around and do nothing? We've been through hell and back for the past few days. You're a member of a relief team, so get to work.
Nurse: I can see that sir... Perhaps you should try to get some rest and let us handle things.
Lennox: Oh not you too! Look, I don't care what you do so long as you're doing something. If I wanted people to do nothing, I would call in some people from the command division, they're experts at it!

*Docking Bay*

The docking bay is in chaos, but Alex manages to find his sister, who is standing at the entrance holding a single bag and looking very impatient.

Riddle: So, where are you going?
Anastasia: Back home to Providence, Rhode Island. its going to be weird after all these years. Of course, no one is going to believe that I am actually me.
Riddle: Well, dad will. But he was always more Romulan than anything. Everyone else will think its some kind of elaborate trick until proven otherwise.
Anastasia: Not that I can really blame them... *smiles* After i spend some time with them, I plan to join the MACOs, teach them a thing or two about combat operations *laughs*. Its really been great, Alex. I'm going to miss this ship a lot.
Riddle: We'll miss you too.
Anastasia: If anything, I will come back to see the baby when she's born.
Riddle: Good, a child needs her aunt... Listen, Sara wanted me to give you her thanks for everything you've done for us.
Anastasia: Of course. It was nothing, really. Give my condolences to the captain, and to everyone else. Especially Lt. Roth, she and I had some very stimulating games of Kal-toh.... I really need to be going.
Riddle: I love you Stasia, I'm so glad you're back.
Anastasia: I love you too, brother.

Anastasia and Alex hug before she disappears onto Deep Space 2. He hopes that her journey back home will be safe, and that her reunion with their family will be a fruitful one. He watches the doors close behind her and then makes his way back to the bridge.

[motom79]

*Bridge*

Bijaj once again loses her cool and grabs the Trill by the throat nearly squeezing the life out of her.

Bijaj: How are you calling a little girl Star Fleet.
sh'Raazh: Bijaj stand down or I'll knock of your Klingon ass
Bijaj: Give me a reason to kill you were you stand Andorian.

*Corridor*

Saron: Name your price Kish, but beware try and rip me off and you will be sorry.

*Sickbay*

Lt. jg. Takei is in a drug induced coma, a medical team of DS 2 prepares to transport him to a treatment center. How this could happen to a star fleet officer is a complete mystery to them.

[MooreSpino]

*Sickbay*

Byron turned back at the raised voice.

Dr. Belzer: Doctor, you just proved my point. You're under stress, you need to get out of here before you do something you'll regret.

EMH: Doctor Lennox has been here for over seventy-eight hours. That is three times the reccomened amount of time for a duty shift. *rasises eyebrow* Enough to force him out...

Dr. Byron: *firmly* He's right, Doctor. Leave or I'll have Security escort you out...

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Sickbay*

Lennox crosses his arms and shakes his head.

Lennox: *sarcastic* I'm under stress? Really, do you think so? This ship has been dragged through the trenches of hell, hundreds are dead and you are just realizing that we are all under stress? You expect me to be cheerful when you are too busy chatting with that socially inept, dabo-hologram reject over there to realize that your staff are all standing around with their thumbs up their ass while this sickbay is held together with duct tape and auto-sutures! You're damned right I'm stressed and I am not about to leave these people in the hands of anyone as incapable as you, doctor! You really would have been better suited for working with machines!

*Corridors*

Kish looks up at the crewman. These starfleets didn't know anything about the prices of medical supplies on the open market.

Kish: 200 bars of gold pressed latinum. No less.

*Bridge*

Luv: Step down, Bijaj! sh'Raazh has NOTHING to do with this. Besides, you don't have to right to kill a loyal Starfleet officer. You have no honor! Now go scamper off and fight for a mate with sticks! Its people like you who give all Klingons a bad name!

[MooreSpino]

*Bridge*

Patton regained her composure and spepped out of her Ready Room to find Bijaj strangling another officer.

Cpt. Patton: Bijaj! That is the final incident! You are no longer an officer on this ship... *taps combadge* Security, come to the Bridge and escort Bijaj to DS2.

*Sickbay*

Byron calmy taps her badge.

Dr. Byron: Security to Sickbay...

[motom79]

*Corridor*

Saron is pretty sure that Kish is trying to fool her but she decides to play upon the Ferengi's greed.

Saron: I'll give you 400 (all that she acquired) but one condition, that I can call in a favor whenever I want and free of extra charges. Do we have a deal.

*Bridge*

Bijaj: *to the captain* Hab SoSlI' Quch!

Lt. Dammou and a security detail enter the bridge and see the bridge crew looking at the captain and the first officers, waiting for what is going to happen next.

Dammou: Commander Bijaj please follow me.
Bijaj: You filthy p'taqs you'll pay for this dishonor, I will have your head as a trophy Captain. *gets stunned by Luv*

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Corridor*

Kish is automatically suspicous. Federation officers don't just double the asking price.

Kish: What kind of favors do you have in mind, starfleet?

*Bridge*

Jodi has a stream of blood trickling down her face. She gets up and stuns the klingon with her phaser while she tries to catch her breath.

Luv: Ugh... she needs to be on medication or something!

*Sickbay*

Lennox: Oh, how sweet, you're calling security! This isn't even your ship, who gave you the right to act like it is? Doctor, you are making a huge mistake right now, believe me! You are not fit to even carry that title!

[motom79]

*Corridor*

Saron: This mission has been a disaster so far, it's clear to me that conventional methods aren't working so I'm thinking out of the box and somebody of your talents can be an asset to have as a friend.

((ooc: she is not planning something sinister))

*Bridge*

Dammou: Thank you lieutenant Luv for sedating her. It will make our escort far more enjoyable.

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Corridor*

Kish: I see... It's a deal. But if you are tricking me, Klingon, you will regret it.

*Bridge*

Luv: *wipes the blood off her face* No problem, it was my pleasure, really.

[MooreSpino]

*Bridge*

Cpt. Patton: Send someone to collect her things and hand her over to DS2 Security with the others. We're out another Senior officer...

*Sickbay*

Dr. Byron: Your captain when she authorized us to take over the infirmry due to lack of suppiles and medics.

A pair of starbase security officers enter, both with phasers at their sides.

Security Officer: What's the problem, Doctor?

Dr. Byron: Nothing major, Stan, just need someone to escort this stubborn doctor out of here...

Stan nodded and the officers flank Lennox on each side.

Stan: Sir, if you would come with us...

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Sickbay*

Lennox: Stan? Thats not very professional... I will do no such thing, Lieutenant. However, I WILL speak to the captain about this immediately. She never informed me of any such transfer of command. If you ask me, this is all incredibly suspicious!

[motom79]

*Corridor*

Saron: Pleasure of doing business with you. So what are you planning to do now we arrived at DS 2?

Saron was probably the only Klingon or Vulcan that liked Ferengi's, true they will rob you blind if they had the change but at least they didn't plot evil political schemes for a bit of power.

*Bajoran Temple*

Tahlandi: Thank you Lyar for praying with me.
Joran: *hugging Tahlandi* no problem hang in there my friend
Tahlandi: Thank you.

Tahlandi leaves noticing Mirok and nods at the ensign. He doesn't notice the hate etched in Mirok's face seeing he was still dazed by the grieve of loosing Edo. Mirok stands up and walks towards Joran.

Mirok: How can you tolerate THAT spoonhead in here
Joran: You mean Rann, he is an old friend. And please don't call him spoonhead, that is racist slander and I will not tolerate it.
Mirok: He's Cardassian, he's evil
Joran: So are you ensign and you better stop this racist talk or I'll put you on report
Mirok: How can you protect him you are Bajoran
Joran: And so is Rann, he was born and raised on Bajor by a Bajoran family. He only looks Cardassian maybe you should get to know people before judging them.

Mirok doesn't respond he just leaves the Temple. Tears are streaming down his face, maybe he should see a counselor about his issues. All the pent up anger of his youth were still weighing on him and it was time to let go of it.

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Corridor*


Kish: Actually, *laughs* I was hoping to find work, here on the Maverick. I have many useful skills...

[motom79]

*Corridors*

Saron: Maybe you should ask Katian for employment, I'm sure she can find something for you to do. Good luck and it was a pleasure doing business with you.

[MooreSpino]

*Sickbay*

Dr. Byron: Go right ahead. Just as long as you leave...

EMH: Just a moment, Doctor. I realize you're only looking out for the CMO's well being, but why are you being so inscisant about it?

Byron looks from the EMH to Lennox and back again.

Dr. Byron: I'm not entirly sure what you guys went through, but your suspicion isn't neccessary. I'm just trying to help these people, those were my orders. *to Lennox* When Captain Patton contacted us for help, the station adminstratior ordered me to take over medical care of the injured. That's all I'm trying to do...

Stan: Jane, I can call back up...

Dr. Byron: Forget it, Stan... You can't help those who don't want it...

Byron dismisses the security and goes to the critical care unit.

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Sickbay*

Lennox looks at Byron and then back at the security officers.

Lennox: No, in fact, captain Patton can come here, as well as ship security. I am sure at least our Vulcan security staff are bound to still be at their posts. *taps comm badge* Lennox to Maverick Security, report to sickbay immediately. Sickbay to Captain Patton, you are needed in the medical bay. *to the EMH* Doctor, keep an eye on her, she may just be trying to feed you ego to distract you.

[spiderviveka_SC]

((OOC: I have to go to class. Be back later!))

[motom79]

((ooc: Later or till tomorrow))

*Security*

Dammou returns to security after delivering Bijaj to the authorities. Bijaj faced a court martial and dishonorable discharge. Dammou was just glad he didn't had to witness the Klingon XO her reaction to those because he was sure that wouldn't be pleasant. Dammou begins writing up his reports and spots a young Trill ensign is also still working in security.

Dammou: Good evening ensign also writing up reports. It seems we never get round doing this nowadays. I never thought I'd say this but I'm actually relived to get my paperwork out of the way. But didn't I order you to get some sleep?

*Strategic Ops*

Kheyl: Let's get out of here before the lieutenant realizes it's a lie. Homework? So T'rei what are you planning to do next?

[MooreSpino]

*Sickbay*

EMH: Of cou-- Now wait a minute!

Lennox had already turned his attention to something else. The EMH grumbled and followed Doctor Byron as she checked on the most critical patients.

*Bridge*

Security had carted off the prone form of Bijaj when the CMO called.

Cpt. Patton: On my way, Doctor. sh'Raazh, you have the Bridge.

[Mikoyo80]

*Strategic Ops*

T'rei raised ab eyebrow before quickly nodding in agreement. She very much doubted that what they were doing was permitted but she didn't really care too much right now. She wasn't entirely sure if she wanted to talk to the cleric for the same reason that she was apprehensive about contacting Zan. Still, she knew that the latter could be done at any time just about but this T'lana was due to leave soon. As she left Strategic Ops with her two friends, she looked at them and before deciding to locate T'lana after all.

Cadet T'rei: Computer, locate Cleric T'lana.
Computer: Cleric T'lara is in Ten-Forward.
Cadet T'rei: I see. Thankyou for your help Tobias and Kheyl, I've really appreciated it. I think it would be best if I spoke with T'lana alone. I will let you know how well it proceeded, or not as the case may be. Once again, I thakyou

She gave them both an appreciative hug to show that she was sincere before making her way to Ten-Forward.

*Security*

As Raian checked on the one last console, he was noticed by Dammou who immediately reminded him of his earlier request. He still didn't have replacement quarters and he had left his temporary shared quarters because he felt that perhaps Tiger needed to be alone, although it may have had more to do with the fact that they had once been lovers and he felt uncomfortable. The truth was, she just wasn't his type any more but she didn't seem to acknowledge this and was trying to pick up where they left off. Still, it would be nice to get to know her again and as he looked up at the lietenant, he smiled weakly as he replied.

Ensign Zan: Yes sir, just checking on a few things.

[motom79]

*Bridge*

sh'Raazh: Aye ma'am, Lt. kimble a word in the captains ready room, Lt. Luv you have the bridge for now.

Hrisvalar is sending out several standard messages and patching messages through. Sometimes she felt like a switchboard. Most of the time this wasn't necessary but because of the communication overload that they were receiving at the moment somebody needed to monitor the stream to prevent a communication shutdown.

*Corridors*

The seventeen year old Tobias just stands there grinning, Kheyl notices this to his amusement, ah to be seventeen.

Kheyl: wipe that smirk of your face, come let's find Freezal.
Tobias: Oh, hm yeah

*Ready Room*

Kimble obeys his commanding officer and follwers willingly.

Lt. Kimble: *grinning ear to ear* Don't tell me you're planning to make out in the captain's office...

(((OOC: Did you get my PM, Mikoyo?)))

[motom79]

*Captain's ready room*

sh'Raazh: It's tempting but no *gives him a light peck on the cheek* I just wanted to talk to you in private. We need a plan on what we are going to say and do if there is an inquiry, because I'm sure some pencil licker is going after the captain's post and if not that; than somebody sure as hell is going to try to cover this up. Oh Richie how the hell did we end up in this mess.

[MooreSpino]

*Captian's Ready Room*

Richie sits on the plush couch and motions for Tara to do the same.

Lt. Kimble: Well, what do we say? That we were clueless about the whole affair and we know nothing? *scoffs* Its not that far form the truth.

[motom79]

*Captain's quarters*

sh'Raazh sits down her antennas pointing towards Richie and her arms crossed.

sh'Raazh: True maybe I'm just worrying to much but after the last few days I'm getting a little paranoid.

*Ten Forward*

Tigan notices a Trill/Vulcan cadet wondering about in Ten Forward. He had seen her before in engineering and had heard what had happened to her father. So he decides to check if everything is alright.

Tigan: Can I help you cadet?

[MooreSpino]

*Captain's Ready Room*

Lt. Kimble: Aren't we all?

Richie takes Tara's hand and gently rubs her palm.

Lt. Kimble: Whatever happens, I'll stand by you. I love you, my Imzadi...

[motom79]

*Captain's quarters*

sh'Raazh: I love you too Imzadi and I too will stand by you no matter what. But let's get back to the bridge. What do you think will happen to our beloved XO?

*Engineering*

Lt. Woods is watching the repair crews of DS2 pouring in. He nervously taps orders into a PADD and walks towards Barclay.

Lt. Woods: Mister Barclay I know we got of on the wrong foot but got you be my second pair of eyes, I just don't want any more sabotage to the Maverick.

[Mikoyo80]

*Ten-Forward*

As T'rei entered the lounge, she couldn't help but notice the number of minor casualties and grief stricken individuals who had lost someone dear to them. As Tigan approached, she stood quite calmly with her hands clasped behind her back.

Cadet T'rei: Yes sir, I am looking for a vulcan cleric named T'lana. The computer said that she was here, is this still the case?

[MooreSpino]

*Captain's Ready Room*

Lt. Kimble: My guess... She'll run back to the Klingon Empire with her tail between her legs. Wouldn't that be something to see?

Richie and Tara have one last kiss before returning to their posts.

[motom79]

*Ten Forward*

Tigan: Yes I think she is *looks around and spots her* There she is, meditating.

A woman with a small apelike creature approaches Tigan and begins to yell about that somebody stole her jewelery. Tigan tries his best to calm the woman down but she begins to shriek harder and the apelike creature begins to bite and scratch the poor crewman. Several security crewmen approach and try to settle down the hysteric woman and her agitated pet. But they only mange to make the situation worse to the amusement of several young children.

*Sickbay*

Lennox recalibrates the tricorders as he awaits the arrival of security and captain Patton. Lt. T'lei walks into sickbay, looking somewhat irritated to be there.

T'lei: What seems to be the problem, Doctor?
Lennox: Nothing right now, please, just wait for the captain.

*Sharpp's Quarters*

Vixya walks through the door and Milo jumps a good half a meter. He composes himself and they sit at the table and pull of their boots.

Vixya: So... what happened to that damned human?
Sharpp: I am pretty sure he lived, but, I managed to erase all of those falsified records. So if they try to incriminate us now, they won't have any evidence.
Vixya: Are you sure you destroyed all of the records?
Sharpp: Yes, at least I am fairly confident that I did.
Vixya: Great, I will never get a good nights sleep again....
Sharpp: Also, I took this isolinier out of his pocket before the EMH got here *picks up isolinier rod*
Vixya: Do you have any idea whats on it?
Sharpp: None. And I am quite hesitant to turn it over to security.
Vixya: As am I.
Sharpp: Anyway... I need to get some sleep, I have to return to duty ad 0400 hours.
Vixya: Yes, I'm exhausted. Hopefully tomorrow the solution to this problem will be clearer.


*The Bridge*

Jodi is still bleeding and holds her hand to her face, trying to compress the wound.

Lt. Elen: Lt. Luv, you should really go to sickbay for that.
Luv: No, I will be fine, its just a scratch.
Lt. Elen: Well, at the very least, you shift has been over for twelve hours. Go home and get some rest.
Luv: Well I... yea, I suppose you're right.

Lt. Luv leaves the bridge and makes her way back to her quarters. She feels dizzy from her injuries but shrugs them off. Nothing a good meal and a little sleep wont cure.

*Kezi's Temporary Quarters*

The vorta steps out of the shower and sits on her bed. She and Clark were relieved of autopsy duty by staff from Deep Space 2. They had a team of twelve to finish a third of the work that she and Clark had done together. Just as well, she thinks. They'll be done faster. She wonders when Reg will come back, she hopes everything is ok with him. She crawls under the covers and thinks she will wait up for him, but falls asleep before she can even finish the thought.

[MooreSpino]

*Engineering*

Reg had just finished the report on the shuttlecraft when Woods approached him.

Lt. Barclay: Oh, of c-course, Sir. No offense taken. N-not that you were offensive I just thought... *trails off* Um, I w-was just leaving. G-good night, Sir...

He makes a hasty retreat before anything else could be said.

*Sickbay*

Cpt. Patton: *walking towards Lennox* All right, Doctor, what seems to be the problem?

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Sickbay*

Lennox crosses his arms as he rethinks his approach to this. he just dragged the captain into sickbay over what may very well be the early symptoms of an overactive imagination.

Lennox: Captain, I have always respected you as my commander- Either Dr. Byron is lying and for some reason, attempting to commandeer sickbay, or you gave her command of my medical bay without first informing me of the change in command. If it is the latter, this is likely because of some perceived threat on my behalf. In either case I have brought security here, and in either case, I think I have a right to know what is going on.

[MooreSpino]

*Sickbay*

At first this statement was confusing, but it dawned on Patton what had happened.

Cpt. Patton: Doctor, I'm so sorry. It's been hetic everywhere, but I authorized DS2's medical team to relieve everyone. Including you...

Dr. Byron: Captain Patton, a pleasure to see you again! *shakes hands* That's quite a stubborn CMO you have on your hands...

Cpt. Patton: I appologise. The miscommunication was entirely my fault...

Dr. Byron: It's no problem, Captain. Maybe now Doctor Lennox will take some time to rest...

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Sickbay*

Lennox: Speak for yourself, doctor. I ensure you, rest will be quite impossible with this... individual in command of my sickbay. I ask you to reconsider this, captain. I am quite capable of performing my duties, at least from an administrative level.

[MooreSpino]

*Sickbay*

Cpt. Patton: That depends on how long you've been here.

EMH: *walking by* Eighty-three hours, fourty one minutes, and six seconds...

Cpt. Patton: *sourly* Thank you... *to Lennox* Doctor, you are aware that there are regulations on how long an officer can work at one time. Yes we had an emergency, but now we're back in dock. *sighs* You are relieved of duty until your next shift...

*Kezi's Temporary Quarters*

Reg tiptoed in. The lights were off and Kezi's soft breathing was coming from the bed. She was so beautiful when she was sleeping. He could wa--

Neelix the Cat: Mrrrooowww!

Lt. Barclay: Ouch! Darn it!

Reg stepped on Neelix's tail and his shin was clawed for it.

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Sickbay*

Lennox: *blankly* Fine. If thats the way it has to be.

The android, not about to leave sickbay, walks across the room without another word and picks up a Laser scalpel and changes its settings. He rolls up the sleeve of one arm and begins a deep burn down the length of his forearm, reaching in parts to the bone as he clenches his teeth. He puts the scalpel back on the table when its done.

Lennox: I seem to have a medical emergency, doctor. The synthetic muscle, fat, and skin tissue of my arm has little to do with my more mechanical components, so I suppose I will be staying here for treatment.

*Kezis Quarters*

Kezi props herself up on one elbow and squints at Reg fumbling in the scarce light.

Kezi: Is that you, Reg? I'm glad to see you're ok. Come to bed, I don't want to sleep alone.

[MooreSpino]

*Kezi's Quarters*

Reg hops up and down on one foot towards the bathroom.

Lt. Barclay: J-just a moment, Kezi...

*Sickbay*

Both Patton and Byron, along with the rest of Sickbay, were shocked by Lennox's behavior.

Cpt. Patton: Doctor, what the hell are you doing?

Dr. Byron: Like I said, stubborn... *motions to the EMH* You'll be treating him.

The hologram looks appaled.

EMH: You can't be serious?!

Dr. Byron: Well, if you'd rather be deactivated...

EMH: *picks up a hydrospanner and moves towards Lennox* Hold still, please...

Cpt. Patton: Doctor Lennox, you're behavior is unacceptable. Follow my orders, or I'll relieve you permanetly...

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Sickbay*

Lennox: No need for that, doctor. My injuries are not life threatening, please, treat the other patients first. Captain, obviously you found my behavior unacceptable before I took this drastic action. Despite the fact that I have been working for nearly eighty four hours straight to try to maintain the lives of your crew, you "failed to mention" that I had been relieved of command, and upon notifying me of this at last, you refuse to understand that I can not leave this medical bay. It is my responsibility, and in light of recent events, it seems like a terrible idea to let any major section of this ship to be commanded by just anyone.... So if you want to have me relieved of duty for being a responsible and vigilant officer, be my guest. But right now, I am staying where I am.

*Kezi's Quarters*

Kezi falls back down into her pillow and Neelix jumps on the bed and begins kneading her leg. It feels so good to be out of that uniform and in clean clothes.

[MooreSpino]

*Sickbay*

Patton stans straighter and looks the Android in the eye.

Cpt. Patton: I didn't find your behavior unacceptable until you injured yourself in an immature act of defiance. And I find it problematic that you have very little faith in my command. *pauses* The order to have you and your staff reileved was put in only thirty minutes ago. Just as I was personally coming down to inform you, our former First Officer threatened my life and was arrested. I am sorry I did not get to you before the team from DS2 got here, but your actions are uncalled for... And Doctor Byron just so happens to have served as CMO on my last assignment, so I'm quite sure of her loyality. Now that I have explained myself, you are officially on a three day leave. Perhaps you will regain control of yourself by then... *to the EMH* Fix his arm and get him out of here.

EMH: *gulps* Yes, Ma'am...

Cpt. Patton: Doctor Byron, you are in charge. *nods, leaves*

Dr. Byron: I'm sorry things had to go like this, Doctor... *goes to treat patients*

[MooreSpino]

*Kezi's Quarters*

Reg emerges, now clad in pajamma pants and a limp. He crawls into the oversized bed and wraps his arms around the Vorta beauty.

Lt. Barclay: *kisses Kezi on the ear* I m-missed you...

[Mikoyo80]

*Character Application Information*

Name and Rank: Commander Melena
Age: 34
Species/Homeworld: Human/Orion, Martian Colony
Position: Executive Officer
A brief sentence or two describing your personality:
Melena was born in a martian colony as the daughter of a human father and an Orion mother. Usually seen as a kind and caring individual, she was once a counsellor but then switched to command. Despite this, she can be ruthless when needed and will do just about anything within ethical reason to get the job done. Previously serving as chief of operations on board deep space 2, this will be her first assignment as a first officer and she hopes to make a good impression.

[motom79]

*Ten Forward*

T'lana notices T'rei approaching and gives the young girl a typical Vulcan stare. The ruckus in Ten Forward doesn't seem to bother her the slightest.

T'lana: Can I help you my child

[Mikoyo80]

*Ten-Forward*

T'rei sat down cross legged in front of the cleric and wondered if this was really worth it as she really had no idea what she was going to say. Still, her mother always said that failing all else, make it up as you go along!

Cadet T'rei: Good day ma'am, despite all evidence to the contrary. I was hoping to speak to you regarding the katra of my father. I trust it will be returned to vulcan?

*Docking Bay*

Today would be Lt. Cmdr. Hal's first day on board the Maverik and he had a feeling that this would be a very interesting assignment indeed. He had not known his predecessor but he heard of his unfortunate death. As he made his way through to his assigned quarters to drop of his bag, Kira trotted quite happily and obediantly beside him. His fellow officers often thought of him as strange as he was quite possibly the only security officer in starfleet who took a dog on duty with him. He had always replied that if it worked a few centuries ago then there was no reason for it to not work now. Ever since fleeing from bajor he and his family had been quite taken with the earth domestic canine and he couldn't imagine not having a faithful companion by his side. They continued on to their quarters before the bajoran decided he should perhaps report to the captain. He dropped of his bag and headed for the bridge, Kira still in tow.

[motom79]

*Ten Forward*

T'lana: Yes my child. You are his daughter, are you not? If you want you can meld with me and share his thoughts.

[Mikoyo80]

*Ten-Forward*

The cadet frowns a little at this proposal. One the one hand, she doesn't find it neccessary but on the other she may regret it later on. She nodded slowly as she moved into a kneeling position.

Cadet T'rei: Yes, perhaps it will put my mind at rest although I am feeling a little apprehensive. We will meld and then I will not waste more of your valuable time.

*Bridge*

Hal stepped out of the lift and onto the bridge. He greeted his fellow bridge officers as he passed them and walked over to the tactical console. According to the computer, Captain Patton was not in her ready room and he felt his time would be better spent getting to know his new stations and his colleagues. With a quick prompt, Kira sat quickly and obediantly, gazing around at her new surrounding. Back on deep space 2 the pair had been allowed to stick together as a team but the rules for a starship may be completely different. Of course, this was up to the captain and he was sure she would bring it up without prompting if she were that concerned.

[motom79]

*Bridge*

Hrisvalar: *seeing the dog* Oh what's his name.

sh'Raazh unaware of the faith of lieutenant commander Shashar wonders who this new officer is and why did he bring a canine to the bridge. sh'Raazh approaches the new chief of security feeling a little suspicious.

sh'Raazh: Can I help you lieutenant commander?

*Ten Forward*

T'lana: My mind to your mind, our minds are merging our minds are one.

It's a curious sensation thoughts and feelings of T'rei's father are flooding her mind. It's almost an emotional experience the see and sense K'vor's inner most thoughts but also something sinister is lurking in the shadows, a dark and dangerous side that he hid from everybody. After what seems hours the meld is ended by T'lana

T'lana: I hope this gives you peace my child, life long and prosper *Vulcan hand gesture*

[Mikoyo80]

*Bridge*

Eloran looks up from his console as the andorian crewman addresses him and smiles as he replies to her question before responding to the older woman, whom he seemed to recognise.

Lt.Cmdr. Hal: Her name is Kira, I named her after Colonel Kira of deep space 9. Ah, you must be Lt.Cmdr. sh'Raazh? I'm Lt.Cmdr. Hal, the new chief of security. I don't need anything at the moment thanks, just checking on things here from a tactical point of view while I wait for the captain. We should be expecting our new first officer soon too, I was just talking to her on the station. Actually, I don't think she knows yet so we might not be, heh heh. Oh, and don't worry about Kira, shes a trained security dog and would sit there all day if I didn't tell her to move.

*Ten-Forward*

T'rei fell backwards as her eyes widened. There was something that her father had been hiding, something that he wished for no-one to see. It was like a locked room where the key had been lost, never to be recovered. She was also feeling a little overwhelmed by the whole experience, and mentally cursed herself as she felt the tears struggling to flow. Being half trill, she had never quite got the hang of the whole emotional suppression thing. She stood up and bowed her head, before mimicing her hand gesture.

Cadet T'rei: Peace and long life...and thankyou. Excuse me.

She then left quickly so that she could allow the tears to flow without the usual speech she got from people in T'lana's position. She just couldn't face it right now.

[motom79]

*Bridge*

sh'Raazh: New security officer, what happened to Shashar I thought his condition was stable.

*Security*

The final causality report rolls into security, they lost 70 crewmembers. Most of them were security and engineering crewmembers. Lt. Dammou is shocked when he sees the name of their chief.

Dammou: Oh lord, ensign have you seen the latest causality report, the chief has died half 'n' hour ago.

[Mikoyo80]

*Bridge*

Eloran stopped what he was doing and looked his fellow officer. He couldn't believe that she didn't know but he supposed that the captain would tell them in her own time. Everything was being thrown together at the last minute as the station had been forced to give up its own chief of security in order to try and get things running aboard the Maverik quickly. He spoke quietly, with a grave expression, so as not to be overheard.

Lt.Cmdr. Hal: You don't know? I shouldn't really be the one to tell you this but I'll be taking over from Lt.Cmr. Shashar...permanently. I'm sorry but he didn't make it. I think the captain will want to tell everyone herself.

*Security*

As per his senior officers request, Raian was just about to leave when he was addressed again. He turned back around quickly and looked at the information himself, willing it not to be true. He hadn't even known, or even liked, Shashar that well but his passing still came as a shock. He still felt the pain of Yulia's death on board the Athena and had not wanted it to happen again with his new chief whether he had liked him or not. He gulped as he stood back to give Dammou some space.

Ensign Zan: My god, the chief. Not just him but seventy of our crew. Dear lord...

[motom79]

((ooc: sorry was called out))

*Bridge*

Everybody fell silent on the bridge when they heard the shocking news. sh'Raazh never liked Shashar but still he didn't deserve this. The guilt she felt about what she did just doubled but there will be time to cry later the only thing that matters is getting the Maverick on track again

sh'Raazh: Take your station commander, people I know this is bad news but there will be plenty of time later. Let's get the Maverick shipshape again.

((ooc: it just occured to my that Mirok should be brought in for questioning concerning Shashar's death))

[Mikoyo80]

*OOC* Maybe, when did Shashar die? First I heard of it was on the first page when he was listed as deceased. I must have missed something somewhere along the line, lol! See you later anyway.

*Bridge*

The bajoran officer gritted his teeth as he realised that he had spoken a little louder than intended and that the entire bridge crew had heard. He nodded quietly before returning to his duties and waiting for the captain. Kira let out a little whimper and lay down beside the console.

[MooreSpino]

*Bridge*

Patton returned to the Bridge ina fairly sour mood. The computer had announced the arrival of their new Security Chief. It was a shock when she had recieved news of Shashar's death only an hour ago. And now her CMO insisted on acting out.

Cpt. Patton: *noticing Hal* You must be Lieutenant Commander Hal. Welcome aboard. I-- *sneezes, sniffles* Is there a dog around here?

[Mikoyo80]

*Bridge*

Eloran stood to attention as the captain entered the bridge but his face fell slightly when she began sniffling and asked about a dog. He glance down at Kira, who still lying down looked up at him with rather soppy eyes. He looked back at the captain and smiled.

Lt.Cmdr. Hal: And you must be Captain Patton, it will be a pleasure to serve with you. Lt.Cmdr. Hal reporting for duty ma'am! Oh and yes, Kira is a security dog. Normally, it would be uneccessary to bring her to the bridge but I only meant to stay for a short while and then take her down to security. I'd like to take a look at my stations before I get cracking. Oh and about Lt.Cmdr Shashar...you have my condolences.

[MooreSpino]

*Bridge*

Patton nods solemely at the mention of Shashar as she looks down at Kira. The dog looked back with a rather pathetic expression.

Cpt. Patton: Ah. I just so happen to be allergic to canines... And the antihistamines to treat the allergy. *sneezes* Um, right. Take as much time as you need to look around, we're not that big of a ship. I'll be-- *sneezes again* Over here...

She moves to the other side of the Bridge and takes the center seat.

[Mikoyo80]

*OOC* Oh no, poor Sara, lol! Goodnight anyway.

*Bridge*

The security chief looked down again at Kira before looking back at the captain with a smile.

Lt.Cmdr. Hal: Understood sir, I'll try and refrain from bringing her to the bridge. Come on Kira!

At the sound of her name, Kira quickly stood up and trotted after her master as they headed back into the turbo lift. Now that he'd checked his station he could aquaint himself with security and the officers who would be working under him. As he entered the lift, another woman with green skin stepped out and onto the bridge. She took a deep breath before approaching the captain.

Cmdr. Melena: Captain, Commander melena reporting for duty! I'll be acting as Executive Officer but I assume you know that already? I've brought myself up to speed with whats been happening up here.

[MooreSpino]

(((OOC: Yesh, quite unfortuante. :P Goodnight!)))

*Bridge*

Cpt. Patton: Very good, Commander. Welcome aboard. You can start your duty by monitoring the repair efforts and crew transfers. I expect quite a few...

[motom79]

((ooc: Goodnight, oh Spiderviveka you can take Takei from the duty roster he is send to rehab :spin: ))

*Corridors*

Ensign Mirok is still wandering through the corridors. The nightmare had upset his fragile state of mind even more. His mind wonders to what happened on Station 194 and on the shuttle Stonehenge. Ensign Mirok was one of the shuttlepilots stationed on 194 and he was on the promenade when it all happened. As soon the alarm went of mass panic ensued. He tried to rescue people by escorting them to the shuttlebay along side Lt. cmdr. Shashar, whom had lost his crewmates in the masses. But in the panic and confusion an inexperienced crewman begun to shoot at everything that moved. Shashar got hit but it didn't appear critical. Somehow Mirok and Shashar managed to make their way to the nearest shuttlebay with 10 civilians. What happened then was a blur: a firefight ensued and at least 7 people they had rescued died in the shuttlebay the 3 others run away to an uncertain faith. Mirok and Shashar managed to take out their assailants. Than darkness, the next thing he remembers is waking up in a shuttlecraft with complete system failure and an unresponsive commander. Two security crewman approach the ensign.

Amador: Ensign Mirok would you please follow us to security
Mirok: Yes, may I ask why?
Amador: We want to ask you some questions about what happened on the shuttle and Lieutenant Commander Shashar.

*Bridge*

Hrisvalar: Captain, Lt. Woods requested a meeting with you at your earliest convince about the engineering situation.

[spiderviveka_SC]

((OOC: Shashar never "officially" died. We just decided it would be best if we could reduce the number of NPCs on the bridge crew.))


*Sickbay*

Lennox jerks his arm away from the EMH.

Lennox: Computer, deactivate EMH.... that damn things been activated longer than I have.

He rolls the sleeve of his shirt down over the cauterized wound. It is not of immediate importance, but he places the hypospanner in his pocket to repair it later. He walks over to where Dr. Byron is, calmly.


Lennox: *calmly* Doctor, let me make a suggestion, and don't yell for security again, just listen... if you're even capable of that. You seem rather cheerful, telling jokes, laughing, smiling. There are many people here who have lost everything. Their families, their homes, their livelihoods. Any good physician knows not to make light of such a tragic situation, to be empathetic with their patients, and show respect for the dead.
My entire insistence on remaining here is because I care about these people. There have been too many turncoats on this ship lately to entrust them to anyone else. I will not rest until every one of these people are safe, and you and your staff are out of my sickbay. If you want me to leave, you will literally have to deactivate me and lock me away somewhere. I don't care if you were the captains last CMO or the captains nanny. No one can be trusted, there are far too many lives at stake. So if I have to sever my own arm to stay here, I will.... you just don't understand what we have all lived through in the past few days.


*Kezi's Quarters*

Kezi sinks into Reg's arms and sighs. Everything is so quiet, and she thinks, she missed him too, but doesn't have the energy to say it. She just enjoys the peaceful warmth as she falls back into sleep.


*The Bridge*

Sharpp walks onto the bridge, there are many strange faces, and of this he is quite glad. He relieves the officer at the science station and begins to clean up the mess that has been made of the sensor logs.

Sharpp: Captain, most of the sensors wont be functioning for another six hours.

[MooreSpino]

*Bridge*

Cpt. Patton: That's fine, Lieutenant. We're not going anywhere to scan anything anyway...

*Sickbay*

Byron doesn't even look up form the young Ensign she's treating for a major head lasseration.

Dr. Byron: No, I don't fully understand, Doctor, but I choose not to be grim and depressing. You notice how many young children are here. They don't need solem attitudes, they need hope. And... *looking up* Traditionally, laughter is the best medicine. Now are you going to follow me around and berate my bedside mannor or are you going to let someone take care of that arm?

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Sickbay*

Lennox: I am not berating you, doctor. I am simply stating facts. You can treat people without being insulting... Of course any real doctor would know that. I will be watching you.

Lennox cautiously walks into his office to repair the damage to his arm, never completly losing sight of Byron. When he is done, he walks out and goes to check on the patients in the burn ward. K'thra is still there, and over the past few days, they have become close friends. He takes her vital signs and then checks on the progress of her tissue regrowth. He is using nanites to stimulate the creation of new bone, fat, blood vessels and skin. The whole process has been rather grueling on the young Klingon.

Lennox: So, how are you feeling today.
K'thra: I would feel better of these human p'toks would quit ordering me around.
Lennox: *smirks* I know the feeling... The tissue regeneration seems to be going well. I know the last time we did this, your body rejected the new cells. They seem to be coming along fine this time around.
K'thra: So long as I will be a warrior again.
Lennox: Of course, K'thra. We are doing everything we can to make sure that happens.

[MooreSpino]

*Sickbay*

Dr. Byron: Computer, reactivate EMH.

The hologram comes back, in full glory.

EMH: Please state the-- Ah. Never mind.

Dr. Byron: Doctor, would you mind stablizing this woman while I suture this cut?

EMH: Of course...

Byron begins the suture as the hologram looks around. He notices LEnnox staring in their direction.

EMH: Tell me, Doctor, would Doctor Lennox's claims have any credit?

Dr. Byron: *scoffs* What's that supposed to mean?

EMH: Well, he's quite suspicious of you. With good reason...

Dr. Byron: Ah, he's just like any other CMO who can't admit they can't handle a change of authority. He'll get over it.

EMH: That's not answering my question.

Dr. Byron: *sighs* No, I'm not some double secret agent trying to destroy your ship for some ill-fated mission. I'm just trying to help out... Thank you, that'll be all for now...

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Sickbay*

After tossing and turning for hours, unable to sleep from the splitting headache she acquired after her confrontation with Bijaj, she finally decides to go to sickbay. She walks in and notices Dr. Lennox in the back of the room. Se has only been to sickbay twice so far, which is infrequent compared to most members of the ships injury prone crew. In the two trips, she has made her typical rash decisions about who she prefers to treat her. And those preferences are for Dr. Kerik, who is still on vulcan, and Dr. Lennox. Both provide a very sterile and impersonal environment.

Lt. Luv: Doctor Lennox? I need you to take a look at this cut on my head.
Lennox: I am not certain if it is a good idea for me to treat you.
Lt. Luv: What the hell do you mean you're not sure? You're a doctor!
Lennox: A presently excommunicated doctor. You will have to speak to the human female over there. Though be wary, I suspect that she is not what she appears to be.
Lt. Luv Lennox, did you drink some polywater or something? You're speaking in old horror story verse.
Lennox: *sighs* No, I wish I could be intoxicated at the moment, though.

Jodi walks across the room to the human doctor who seems a tad bit to happy to be there.

Lt. Luv: Couldn't DS2 have sent more than one doctor? Or are they all hiding in the back somewhere? *looks around* You wouldn't happen to have any Vulcan physicians around...

[MooreSpino]

*Sickbay*

Dr. Byron: Um, well there is Doctor K'nor, but he's back on the station. And no, I'm not the only one. The others are scattered throught the makeshift infirmiraies. Can I help you with something? That's a nasty cut...

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Sickbay*

Jodi takes a moment to contemplate going to the space station for treatment, but decides that she is far too sleepy.

Lt. Luv: How nice of you to notice... Just give me something for the pain and I'll be on my way.

[MooreSpino]

*Sickbay*

Dr. Byron: All right...

Byron fills a hypo with pain reliever and placed it on Luv's neck.

Dr. Byron: If you want, I can close that up in a minute...

Nurse Lancester comes in from across the hall looking for the CMO. She spots him standing in the back corner not doing anything, which wasn't like the doctor at all.

Nurse Lancaster: Sir, your fiance is awake. She's asking to see you. I said you were busy but she's insisting.

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Sickbay*

Jodi grunts and rubs her neck. She always feels strange after getting an injection. One of Luvs previous hosts had been captured and tortured by Romulans where they would give him injections of all sorts of bizare, harmful chemicals. She wonders if this is why her symbiont is so difficult to get along with.

Lt. Luv: I'm really not a fan of tissue regeneration.

Lennox nods affirmatively to the nurse as he walks to the makeshift medical bay across the hall the where Katian is.

Lennox: I am glad to see you are awake, how are you?

[MooreSpino]

*Makeshift Sickbay*

Katian smiles weakly and tries to sit up.

Katian: I'm fine... They said I've been out for awhile. Ten-Forward is probably a mess... How are you doing? I know something has been going on for Sickbay to be this crowded...

*Sickbay*

Byron sighed as she set the hypospray down.

Dr. Byron: All right. Would you at least settle for a cloth bandage?

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Makeshift Sickbay*

Lennox does his best to keep his calm, he is unsure if it is simply emotional strain or perhaps some lingering effect of having his free will taken from him days earlier by the Ghost Order injection, but he is having great difficulty controling his emotions. He sits on the edge of Kati's cot, taking care not to make her uncomfortable.

Lennox: I could be better. We have had mass casualties after the biogenic containments were released on Starbase 194. There were also a great deal of burn victims as a result of bombings. However we are currently at Deep Space 2 and receiving relief efforts from their crew.

*Sickbay*

Lt. Luv: *reluctantly* Fine.

[MooreSpino]

*Sickbay*

Byron pulls out one ot the emergency medical kits and takes a sterile bandage. She applies the self-sticking adhesive on Luv's skin.

Dr. Byron: There... Any other trouble with it, come back. And I'll see if I can get Doctor K'nor over here.

*Makeshift Sickbay*

Katian: *shocked* Oh, gods! How horrible...

She moves closer ot Lennox and wraps her arms around his shoulders.

Katian: My poor love. That had to be difficult to deal with... I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you...

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Makeshift Sickbay*

Lennox wraps his arms around Kati, her pity make him feel a bit odd, and he tries to ignore it.

Lennox: I am just glad you're awake now...

*Corridor*

Jodi walked out of sickbay without another word. The human doctor reminded her of her mother, with whom she had a very cloudy relationship. Or was it Kerizin's mother? This whole multiple personality issue with having a symbiont is becoming quite confusing. She can hardly tell her own past from Luv's prior hosts, its all one big blur. Still, she walks back to her quarters, hoping for sleep.

[MooreSpino]

*Makeshift Sickbay*

Katian: Glad to be awake... *kisses Lennox* So, can I get a favor from the Chief Medical Officer and get an early discharge? I'm feeling much better if that helps...

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Makeshift Sickbay*

Lennox backs away from Katian and frowns.

Lennox: I can not release you, I have been relieved of command.

[MooreSpino]

*Makeshift Sickbay*

Katian: Why? What happened, Lennox?

The EMH approached and askwered Kati's question before Lennox could.

EMH: Because when they said relief, they meant everyone. *looks over PADD* They sent another doctor to take over Sickbay temporarily... Doctor Lennox refused to give up his post so the Captain relieved him for the next three days... You're well enough to be released, Miss Ryoux. Just no hard labor for the next week and watch those ribs, there still brusied.

Katian: *confused* Thank you, Doctor... *to Lennox, upset* The Captain relieved you just like that? What gives her the right? Sickbay would be worse off without you.

*Makeshift Sickbay*

Lennox: *scowels at the EMH.* Thats what I said.... I don't trust this doctor she put in charge. There is just something off about her. But yes, I have been relieved of duty because apparently Captain Patton is now a medical expert as well as being Starfleet's greatest leader. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if that bitch was behind all of this!

Lennox knows its happening again. He is once again losing control of his ability to stay calm and not say whatever he might happen to be thinking. This state could prove to be quite dangerous for him.

Katian: *frowns* Lennox...

EMH: While I'm doubful about the Captain's involvement, I'm not so sure about this Doctor Byron. She's... Odd, to say the least.

[spiderviveka_SC]

*Makeshift Sickbay*

Lennox: *more calmly* I am glad we agree on something... Doctor, please keep an eye on her, she could be dangerous. *to Katian* So, should we go home? You will probably want to get some real food and some better rest than one can obtain in a place like this. *to the EMH* I will be back later, whether I am in command right now or not.

*Makeshift Sickbay*

EMH: Of course. I'll follow Byron like a holographic shadow... *shimmers out of existance*

Katian: I still don't care for that hologram... But yes, home sounds absoultly wonderful right now.

Katian leans on Lennox as she slides out of bed. The EMH was right, her ribs still were sore. Kati grimaced a little but managed to stand straight.

Katian: *wavering slightly* Shall we...?

*Bridge*

Lt Woods struts onto the bridge in an extremely foul mood. The engineering crew of DS2 has completely overtaken main engineering and to top it of their chef had reassigned several of Woods' people. He knew that the captain had requested a relive team but this is unacceptable, some of his people had been up for 48 hours straight.

Lt. Woods: Captain can I have a word in private?

*Security*

Mirok is being escorted in security, the place looks surprisingly serene. Mirok wonders what this is about and that wanted from him. He looks at his Orion escort wondering if he would be forthcoming on what is going on. But before he can speak a human lieutenant addresses him.

Dammou: Ensign Mirok will you please follow me.
Mirok: Yes but what is going on?
Dammou: Don't worry you will be debriefed in due time, if you please

Mirok follows the lieutenant reluctantly there was something they aren't telling him but what?

*Bridge*

Patton looks up to find Woods adressing her.

Cpt. Patton: My Ready Room, Lieutenant...

She stands and goes to teh door of her office, Woods following.

Cpt. Patton: What can I do for you?

[motom79]

*Ready Room*

Lt. Woods: Captain I want to know why the engineering team of DS2 is seizing control of engineering. Don't get me wrong I'm grateful for the extra help but it's simply unacceptable that they reassign my people without consulting me.

((ooc: poor Sara another unhappy senior officer))

[MooreSpino]

*Ready Room*

Cpt. Patton: It's a temporary relief reassignment, just for the major repairs. You and your engineers have been working around the clock for days at a time trying to hold the ship together. This is to give you a break... *sighs* Give them the rest of the day and I'll speak with the station Administrator. You'll get Engineering back by this time tommorow, Mister Woods. Is that acceptiable?

[motom79]

*Bridge*

Woods: Yes captain but the problem is that most of my engineers are still working on major projects without being relieved. And I have no idea what the replacement crew is doing, they are just shifting my people around and I want this stopped and seeing their chief won't listen to me I hoped you can make it clear to him that my team needs to be relieved of duty.

Lt. Woods doesn't tell the captain about the protective measures he put up just in case more spies were among them. Although normally not a man to got o such lengths after everything that happened he felt that it was best to prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Woods noticed that like everybody else on the ship the captain looked tired.
