Pilgrim 10/4

[8:56] [DOIC] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *The familiar theme of STAR TREK: PILGRIM begins to play...*

[8:57] [DOIC] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *The camera pans over the Pilgrim, which remains in standard orbit of the planet. Commander Valkriss is the only officer on the planet below, who's Klingon immunities have been valiantly fighting the

[8:58] [DOIC] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: disease that killed so many. Doctor Sovek and his team are hard at work in sickbay on their version of an antidote, while engineering works on a deployment solution...*

[8:59] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: How's it going Jill?

[8:59] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she taps her comm badge.-- =/\=Commander T'Pang to Doctor Sovek.=/\=

[8:59] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris finally comes to, after being in and out of consciousness from the heavy dose of sedative.*

[8:59] [DOIC4] Sovek@xemion1111: "=/\= You have me."

[9:00] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Doctor, what progress do you have to report?=/\=

[9:00] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She glanced over at Aria.*  "Well I have a few possible prototypes of the EMH drones, and sickbay's been helping with the nanite situation."

[9:01] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris grumbles, sitting up on the bed, looking around as he rubs his eyes.*

[9:01] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *watches the main viewer, with great concern*

[9:01] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: *Decides she's going to look into anything of suspect that may have brought in the virus to the planet. She gets to looking for ships that madeshipments to the surface just before the first known --

[9:01] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *Beep boops at her station, running a few scans while monitoring communications.*

[9:01] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: -- cases of the disease started.*

[9:01] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *nods* Did you figure out the backdoor into the nanites? And do you need any help with anything?

[9:02] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Uhh, I'm still working on that.  But if you want to help you're welcome by all means."

[9:03] [DOIC4] Sovek@xemion1111: "=/\= I have made progress however, these things require immense amounts of programing to target and eradicate all traces of illneess; as of now I am not sure how to expedite this process without +

[9:03] [DOIC4] Sovek@xemion1111: a full autopsy on a recently deceased case."

[9:03] [DOIC4] Sovek@xemion1111: The Vulcan glanced over to his side, rasing a brow at Serris now awake.

[9:04] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris blinks, realizing what he did before he was knocked out and flushing a vibrant violet, visibly withdrawing into himself in embarrassment.*

[9:04] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Pehaps you should get with engineering and work out a way to autopsy one of the bodies on the surface using some sort of remote technology. I might not be ideal. But, would be better than nothing.

[9:06] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Sure.

[9:06] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill continued to work on the nanites' backdoor.  It appeared as though she had been doing it already.*

[9:06] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\= Worst case scenario, we may risk beaming a subject on board if there is some means to reasonably protect the ship's crew from infection.=/\=

[9:06] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li is working hard on something at his station.*

[9:07] [DOIC4] Sovek@xemion1111: "=/\= In theory, however, I'd require unhindered access to the body to constantly check- Or, alternatively, we beam the subject aboard the Aeroshuttle, launch it, and have a medical lab set up; +

[9:07] [DOIC4] Sovek@xemion1111: at most I would be the only person at risk of infection."

[9:07] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *Looks over to Calisca curiously* How goes it over there?

[9:08] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Do what you have to doctor. But, exercise all due caution. While keeping in mind time is critical here.=/\=

[9:08] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: *SHe looks over the Doctor's credentials, trying to figure out if he checked out, or may have been a malicious agent of delicious....Evil! She turns aorund to Zem.* That depends...*SHe makes a pouty -

[9:08] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: --face* How you doin'?

[9:09] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *Smirked a little and gave a shrug.* Anything I can help you with over there?

[9:09] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *beep boops attempting to help Jill with the work shes already done*

[9:10] [DOIC4] Sovek@xemion1111: "=/\= Affrimative, Sovek out." The Vulcan raises himself up from his chair. "Mulder, begin bringing emergency medical triage alpha to the Aeroshuttle. Scully, continue work on the nanites."

[9:10] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *His eyes glance over to Mulder momentarily, still wearing a look of deep embarrassment.*

[9:10] [DOIC4] Sovek@xemion1111: "As this may be the last time I see you, how are you feeling, Mister Serris."

[9:10] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *taps his chin* There has to be some solution to all of this.

[9:10] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --exits the ready room-- Report Mister Asada.

[9:10] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Mortified." *He pauses, looking to Sovek.* "What do you mean by 'last time I see you'?"

[9:11] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Nothing new to report, Captain. I hope that the same is not true for Medical.

[9:11] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Like usual good work Jill.

[9:11] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: Help? See if you can find anything that seems suspicious around the time of the initial spread of the infection....Perhaps some communications...Just so we rule out any bad ju ju around this whole --

[9:11] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: --thing.

[9:11] [DOIC4] Sovek@xemion1111: "I may die within the period of the day if I fail; such are the risks of being a Starfleet Officer. Regardless, why are you feeling this way?" The Vulcan leaned slightly to check the notes of the biob

[9:11] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: Doctor Sovek reports his progress is slowed by not being able to examine one of the bodies directly. He is taking steps to rectify that situation as we speak.

[9:12] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "My birth control works... temporarily. But then once my body metabolizes the dose, the symptoms return with a vengeance."

[9:12] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: A move that I might add will put him at great personal risk.

[9:12] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She looked up at Aria.*  "Oh, uh, thanks.  But let's wait until we're done to call it a good job."  *She smiled slightly.*

[9:13] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: In a certain light, it makes more sense to cut our losses. But on the other hand, there is that heroic streak in Starfleet.

[9:13] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: True true.

[9:13] [DOIC4] Sovek@xemion1111: "If modern medicine is not helping I'd suggest resorting to what ever your people have done for presumably millions of years."

[9:13] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Li what are you working on over there?

[9:14] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li looks up.* Studying some of what we learned 'on the planet'...particularly anything related to that Sloan guy Doctor Ahmerst mentioned.

[9:14] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: It would be far easier to "cut our loses" so to speak if I had not allowed Valkriss to beam to the surface. If she dies that is on me.

[9:14] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Pickings are slim...

[9:14] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He squirms visibly on the biobed.* "I'm not sure if I can request a leave of absence on such short notice."

[9:15] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: She was aware of the risks, Captain.

[9:15] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Ok. If you hit a dead end come and give me and Jill a hand. Im putting her in charge of counteracting the nanites since shes done most of the legwork and its been phenominal so far.

[9:15] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: Slick, Hope those cut losses don't mean our secret valley girl Valkriss...

[9:15] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods.* Aye m'am.

[9:16] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I'm not advocating for leaving her behind.

[9:16] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She seemed too absorbed in her work to hear their conversation, continuing to try to pry the back door open.*

[9:16] [DOIC4] Sovek@xemion1111: "Well, if it requires what I presume it requires there are over a hundred people aboard this ship, so long as intercrew relations do not hamper duty Starfleet has not say in the matter."

[9:17] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: Mister Asada for the immediate future you are to give Sovek whatever support he might need in his current endeavors. Finding a cure take priority over all other matters.

[9:17] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Understood, ma'am. I'll go check in with him, then.

[9:17] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I also don't think it's reasonable to expect someone to become intimate with me in less than a day."

[9:18] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *enters the turbolift* Sickbay.

[9:18] [DOIC4] Sovek@xemion1111: "You seem to forget the majority of the crew is human; they've been becoming intimate with each other in less than hours since their pre-history."

[9:18] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She scowled as she hit a brick wall, then backtracked and tried another route.*

[9:19] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tib bursts into sickbay*

[9:19] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He glances back up to Mulder, then back to Sovek.*

[9:19] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Bewildered by the sudden arrival, he flinches at Tiberius's entrance.*

[9:19] [DOIC4] Sovek@xemion1111: "What hilarious timing..." The Doctor shook his head. "What can I do for you?"

[9:19] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Alright, Doc -- time to save ths sex ed for another day. We've got business to take care of.

[9:20] [DOIC4] Sovek@xemion1111: He raises a brow. "That we should be an 'I', Mister Asada."

[9:20] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She sighed, chewing her lower lip for a moment as she tried to work it out in her head.*

[9:21] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *His eyes drift to Tiberius's abs, face heating up. He tries to look away, but his glance keeps returning to that glorious abdomen.*

[9:21] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Don't give me that medical mumbo-jumbo. It's time to save lives.

[9:21] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *Tilts her head thoughtfully as she beeped away at her console, mumbling softly to herself.* I wonder if this sickness would effect my systems..

[9:21] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: How can I help you make this happen?

[9:22] [DOIC4] Sovek@xemion1111: "Indeed, of which, you are not- you cannot- actually. Keep Serris company whilst I go to the Aeroshuttle."

[9:22] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Do you need an escort to the Aeroshuttle?

[9:23] [DOIC4] Sovek@xemion1111: "I'm sure I shan't be accosted in the lift."

[9:24] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I've been given very specific orders. I must ensure that your mission is carried out.

[9:24] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Maybe... if we could manipulate its homing matrix into resetting and allowing access..."  *She beeped away on the console.*

[9:24] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Slowly, Serris slides towards the end of the bed.*

[9:25] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --taps the arm rest impatiently.--

[9:25] [DOIC4] Sovek@xemion1111: The Doctor raises his brow, "Indeed, well. Since the only person in sickbay is Serris here, you can help by making sure he does not fall over or something."

[9:26] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: *Looks for any possible way to identify something from the comm signal she found.*

[9:26] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She sighed.*  "No, that's not it... are you getting anywhere, Aria?"

[9:26] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris continues to stare at Tiberius' abs.*

[9:26] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "Hmm let me see."

[9:26] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: *Sends the signal to Zem as well to see if she can dig up something with it.*

[9:27] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *narrows eyes* Mr. Zital, do you have any knowledge of medicine or biology?

[9:27] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *Gave a nod of thanks as she looked over the information shared and starts to poke around her database and see if she could find any details on this comm signal.*

[9:27] [DOIC4] Sovek@xemion1111: Sovek slowly sidesteps to pick up the several cases Mulder had prepared; lifting them with Vulcan ease.

[9:28] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He stammers, unable to form a coherent sentence. His face is lit up with a vibrant violet blush.*

[9:28] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: *She, meanwhile, tried to find out what exactly the signal did...*

[9:28] [DOIC4] Sovek@xemion1111: He slowly backed up and out of the room.

[9:29] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Damn it, Mr. Zital. Don't give me that science division mumbo-jumbo.

[9:30] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *SIghs* Nope. SO close yet so far away.

[9:30] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Unconsciously, his breath begins to hitch, panting slightly. Beads of sweat glisten on his forehead.*

[9:31] [DOIC5] Sovek@xemion1111: The docto found his way to the Aeroshuttle's hatch, pressing the keypad with a strained finger the Vulcan entered and began setting up his equipment for the portable medical lab.

[9:31] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Well, if it was easy it wouldn't be as satisfying when we finally beat it."  *Jill said with a crack of a smile as she tried other attack strategies.*

[9:31] [DOIC5] Sovek@xemion1111: doctor*

[9:31] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *raises an eyebrow* I see. Computer, activate the EMH.

[9:32] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Just as the hologram shimmers into existence, Serris leaps forth from the biobed and onto Tiberius, pinning him to the floor.*

[9:32] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *smiles* I like your optimisim.

[9:33] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: This isn't a game you want to be playing, Lieutenant! *punches him in the gut as hard as he can*

[9:34] [DOIC5] Sovek@xemion1111: "=/\= Sovek to the bridge, requesting permission to disengage Aeroshuttle."

[9:34] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Serris gets rekt.*

[9:35] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris rolls off of Tiberius, nursing his stomach. He flinches, shaking his head.* "S-sorry, Commander."

[9:36] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tib gets up, still in combat mode* What's your malfunction, Lieutenant?

[9:36] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [McCoy] Please state the nature of...what on Earth...

[9:37] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Hell if I know!

[9:37] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He crosses his legs, blushing vibrantly.* "My species has a mating cycle. I happen to be in the peak of mine, and my birth control regimen isn't keeping it under control."

[9:37] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I'm sorry. It's just really, really hard to control the urges when metabolizing the drugs makes the symptoms worse."

[9:37] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Come on you little bastards..." *she muttered, backtracking again and trying to force her way through the system.*

[9:38] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: Captain, The doctor is requesting permission to disengage aeroshuttle.

[9:38] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He takes a deep breath, shivering. With a shaky exhale, he attempts to collect himself.*

[9:40] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: I wonder if maybe the commands have to be encrypted. Do we have any known section 31 cypers we can test?

[9:40] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill rubbed at her temples for a moment, trying to clear her mind.*

[9:40] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Huh. *Brushes some dust off his uniform* McCoy, you'll need to isolate this officer.

[9:40] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Not that I know... it'd probably be restricted.  You may have access though."

[9:41] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: Shall I approve request Captain?

[9:41] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Please, no! I still have work to finish!" *He turns to Tiberius, looking up with pleading eyes.*

[9:41] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [McCoy] Your wish...*A forcefield surrounds Serries.*

[9:41] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --looks over at Zem, pauses for an unusually long period of time before answering.--

[9:41] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: Yes, give the doctor permission to depart.

[9:42] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: Hmm....Hey Boss, I found something interesting. Turns out there was this signal that came in just before the infection...And activated a bunch of subroutines that cut off any long distance phone calls

[9:42] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *gives Serris a hard look* You're not getting much work done in this condition.

[9:42] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: And my hunch is that it wasn't the phone company cutting down on costs.

[9:42] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Good idea. COmputer do we have access to any known or suspected section 31 cypers?

[9:42] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *Chewed on her lip a moment as she watched the captain a moment. She shuffled on her feet akwardly and nodded, tapping her badge.* Bridge to the Doctor, you have approval to disengage..

[9:43] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: =^= **

[9:43] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: Can you identify the source of the signal?

[9:43] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Well, I need to do something!" *He pauses, reflecting on how that correctly describes just about every aspect of his life right now.*

[9:43] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: Nope.

[9:44] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: (( Lemme go reboot my router :P

[9:44] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: It's been bounced through so many relays...THe only wayto know would be to probably find the first relay in the series...And that's rather....Challenging.

[9:44] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Computer] Section 31 is not an official branch of Starfleet and ther eis no record of any known or suspected cypers.

[9:45] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --nods to Cali-- make sure you properly collect all data. It will likely represent evidence in a subsequent Starfleet investigation of this matter.

[9:45] [DOIC5] Sovek@xemion1111: The doctor began to input a series of commands into the aeroshuttle, releasing the docking clamps and starting up the engines. "Now this brings back memories..." +

[9:45] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Guess it can never be that easy, can it?"

[9:45] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: What about groups claiming to be section 31 since they arent part of starfleet?...

[9:46] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Probably not but you never know.

[9:46] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Computer] There are no known cypers related to groups calling themselves "Section 31".

[9:46] [DOIC5] Sovek@xemion1111: getting underway the doctor brought the shuttle down and to the port side of the Pilgrim, orienting himself along side. Placing the ship into a mantained flight he stood and began scrubbing up.

[9:46] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Well that sinks that idea.

[9:47] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *Keeps some sensors monitoring the aeroshuttle as the doctor does this thing.*

[9:47] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Well, guess it's back to bashing against the system locks."  *She did just that with a beep and a boop.*

[9:47] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: It is beginning to look more and more like this situation is not a naturally occuring disaster. While our first priority is to save lives. It will be an important task afterwards to make sure someone>

[9:47] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: is brought to justice for this atrocity.

[9:48] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Yup. I just hope they can hold on long enough for a brute force hack and the doctor.

[9:53] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: =/\= "I don't... I've been working on the nanites for the past few hours.  I can get someone on the drone for you if you need it however."

[9:54] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She looked over at Aria.*  "Odd he didn't contact you, you're the chief engineer after all."

[9:54] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: *Tries to find any signatures on the signal that may match others she can get her hands on.*

[9:56] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Shrugs* Must feel comfortable with you after you helping him with the drone project in the holodeck.

[9:57] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "I guess so.  Should I head back down to the holodeck, or did you want to give it a try?"

[9:57] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: Hmm...

[9:58] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: I guess I can go give it a try since im hitting a brick wall here with you. If you need anything let me know. This is priority one for us pull any other engineers you need.

[9:58] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She nodded and dove back into her work.*

[9:59] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --raises an eyebrow at Cali-- Lieutenant Kurot, have you found something else?

[9:59] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: troubles?

[9:59] [DOIC4] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *heads to the holodeck and starts up the program*

[9:59] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: Got no signatures form the signal to help narrow down the sender.

[10:00] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *heads to the holodeck and starts up the program*

[10:01] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: Obviously it was someone with quite a bit of resources. Starfleet intelligence may have some useful information.

[10:01] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *The holodeck rapidly changes from an empty state to a view of the planet below. The drones are in what looks like some sort of laboratory with a dead man laying on the floor.*

[10:01] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: I will have to contact Admiral Arak and have him inquire into the matter.

[10:01] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: I'm worried if it's those...Ghost stories. You know...A certain Section of the Federation...

[10:02] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: =^= Aria to the Doc I've got the drones fired up what do you need a recently deceased subject?

[10:02] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: Ghost stories?

[10:02] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: Yeah...You ever hear of Section 31?

[10:03] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: I have heard of them, I was under the impression that it was more myth than actual fact.

[10:03] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: Really shady...Supposedly they operate without oversight, and have eyes and ears everywhere.

[10:03] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: THat's what I thought. But, sometimes ghost stories have that chance of being based on truth.

[10:04] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *raises an eyebrow* I've gathered.

[10:04] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *A level one forcefield currently surrounds Serris, as requested by Tibs.*

[10:04] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --nods-- Yes, sometimes it is the case that myths and legends have a way of being based in fact.

[10:05] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: =^= No problem.

[10:05] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: It is my sincere hope that this act was not perpetrated by any citizen of the Federation.

[10:05] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: *She shrugs* Not enough information at the moment. *She looks to Zem.* Speaking of, you got anything for us, Blue?

[10:05] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Fold drive?

[10:06] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: No to test this thing out too bad its not under more pleasant circumstances like collecting sand off a Risan beach.... *wanders about the dead bodies grimacing as she does so and scans them looking

[10:06] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: for a fresh sample*

[10:06] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: Well keep working the problem.

[10:06] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *There is only one dead body in the room Aria is in. He appears to have been dead for a day or so.*

[10:07] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Ok. Lets head outside.

[10:07] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Hm... what if I introduced a computer virus that resets the system to my parameters..."

[10:08] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *Wrinkles her nose a bit as she fiddled with her console.* Nothing so far.. let me see here..

[10:08] [DOIC5] Sovek@xemion1111: "Hey there, Delilah..."

[10:08] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *walks outside and takes in the new landscape*

[10:08] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "It's not the finalized name. It's a faster-than-transwarp method of propulsion that involves using subspace fields to collapse two points in space into each other and catapult the ship through to the

[10:08] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: other side, effectively snapping a theoretically infinite distance."

[10:09] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Starfleet Science has been working on it for decades. I'm the last one at the Daystrom Institute who still thinks it can work."

[10:09] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He sighs in frustration, rubbing his temples.* "I really want to get out of here."

[10:09] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Aria can spot dead bodies littered on the streets of New Hadron.*

[10:09] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She shook her head.*  "That's not going to work.  Guess it's abck to brute force."  *She threw everything she had at the system.*

[10:11] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *sigh* Look. You can't be roaming the ship in this condition.

[10:11] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "If not to get back to work, then to find someone who will help me get over this. Drugs aren't helping, they're just making it worse."

[10:11] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *sighs then walks up to various bodies and begins scanning them looking for a fresh sample*

[10:12] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Jill finally breaks through.*

[10:13] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "YES!" she shouted loud enough to make the other engineers glance her way, pumping her fists in the air.*

[10:13] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: =^= GO one Doc send me the coordinates you want him beamed to.

[10:13] [DOIC5] Sovek@xemion1111: "=/\= Understood."

[10:14] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: You want me to... find someone who would have sex with you? *seems highly confused*

[10:14] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: =/\= "Dower to Aria, I'm in!"

[10:14] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Well, I've been trying to avoid putting it so bluntly, but YES."

[10:15] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: That is absolutely inappropriate.

[10:15] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: =^= Excellent great work Jill

[10:15] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "You said it, not me!"

[10:16] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *Perks up a bit as she beep boops more quickly now.* I found the primary relay.. it's located in ... *She paused a moment.*

[10:16] [DOIC5] Sovek@xemion1111: The coords of the makeshift biobed would be sent to Aria.

[10:16] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: Sector 001.. The Sol System.

[10:16] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Do you have any idea how hormonal a species with two different reproductive systems can get?"

[10:16] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: =/\= "Dower to Doctor Sovek.  I've kicked the back door down; as soon as you have the cure, we'll be ready to disperse it."

[10:16] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *narrows his eyes* Don't put that on me, Lieutenant.

[10:16] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He folds his arms in a huff, visibly frustrated.*

[10:17] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *gets the coordinates gives the transporter chief the coordinates of the body and has it beamed to Sovek*

[10:18] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Have you tried the holodeck?

[10:18] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: Oh....Good...

[10:19] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: *She looks to T'Pang* Ghost story's seeming a bit too realistic now...

[10:19] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He sighs in defeat.* "If it was that easy, I wouldn't be in this force field, would I?"

[10:19] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: Really? Have you found something Lieutenant?

[10:19] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Have you tried acting like a normal person around those you want to have relations with?

[10:20] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: Not me, Blue...She said the initial relay is in the Sol System.

[10:20] [DOIC5] Sovek@xemion1111: "Computer, link with Pilgrim main computer core and begin a full multi-spectral scan." Taking a metal scalpel Sovek began to slice off segments of flesh and place them into transparisteel dishes.

[10:20] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --her eyes narrow.-- The Sol system?

[10:20] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I've spent nearly every moment on this ship buried in PADDS and engineering consoles. When I was at the Daystrom Institute, I would just take a leave of absence and go back to the colony."

[10:20] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *Stared down at her console and slowly typed out a message.*

[10:21] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I haven't exactly had time to look. I came to the doctor to try and counter it with some synthetic pheromones when I was in the early stages, but once my body metabolizes the doses, it just makes -

[10:21] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: - things worse."

[10:21] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: =^= Are you going to need anything else from the planet Doctor or can I exit the simulation?

[10:21] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I'm not normally this... eager."

[10:22] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *The man beamed up to Sovek is a nondescript Bajoran male dressed in civilian clothing of the day.*

[10:22] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *Cleared her throat and finally spoke up.* Yes, section 001, Sol System is where the primary relay is originating from.

[10:22] [DOIC5] Sovek@xemion1111: "=/\= This will do, Miss Aria. Do take care, please ensure Mister Li does not kill himself should I not be around."

[10:22] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: =^= *Laughs will do Doc*

[10:23] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *scratches his throat* I think we should put you into a medically induced coma until this is over.

[10:23] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Computer end program.

[10:23] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li walks over to Jill.* Great job.

[10:23] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: That is most distressing.

[10:23] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She smiled at Li.*  "Only took a couple hours of slamming my forehead against a metaphorical wall.  Did you get anywhere with yours?"

[10:24] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I'm still capable of self-restraint! It's just hard to concentrate when I'm hormonal and surrounded by very attractive people."

[10:25] [DOIC5] Sovek@xemion1111: Taking the samples to his quantum microscope he gathered a group of the nanites at their current stage of development and began introducing them one at a time into the dish; each programmed with +

[10:25] [DOIC5] Sovek@xemion1111: their own series of diseases capable of curing.

[10:26] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Only portions of declassified logs from Doctor Julian Bashir and Chief Miles O'Brien.

[10:26] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "... I just admitted that I think you're hot, didn't I?" *He rests his face in his palms.*

[10:26] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: They definitely confronted someone named Sloan...and he was very much dead by the end of it.

[10:26] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: That is highly inappropriate.

[10:27] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Then it must be a moniker... or a relative.  Do you know if Sloan had any family?"

[10:27] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I'm sorry, okay? This entire situation is just really embarrassing. I came to Sickbay to try and head off my cycle with medication and now it's just made things worse."

[10:28] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I'm ACTUALLY SCARED."

[10:28] [DOIC5] Sovek@xemion1111: "Computer, with the rate of overwhelming odds how many nanites would be required to turn the tide of this war, analogy."

[10:29] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Jill. Is your countermeasure ready to be used? If so I think its time to let the Captain know.

[10:29] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Through all the frustration and embarrassment, he appears to be genuine about that.*

[10:29] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Jill. Is your countermeasure ready to be used? If so I think its time to let the Captain know.

[10:29] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I have some sympathy for your situation, but in your present state, there's no way you can fulfill your duties. And you are somewhat of a danger to the crew.

[10:29] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: A wife, one son and one daughter...at least that is what was believed.

[10:29] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Can't I at least be locked in my quarters?"

[10:29] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Computer] At this present time, approximately one hundred nanites.

[10:30] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I don't want to stand here and be examined like an animal in a lab."

[10:30] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "I should be able to disable the nanites at any time, or just disable any new infections.  And Li, maybe you should look into the kids?  If Sloan died back in those days, they would be adults by now."

[10:30] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *checked over the status of the ship the doctor was on, making sure the readings seemed normal.*

[10:30] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods.* That's a good idea.

[10:30] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Adults who may have a vendetta, at that."

[10:30] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Great.

[10:31] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: =^= ENgineering to the Captain.

[10:31] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: That's a reasonable request.

[10:31] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "This condition of mine is undignified as-is."

[10:31] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: If I drop the forcefield, will you be able to keep it together on the way to your quarters?

[10:32] [DOIC5] Sovek@xemion1111: "One hundred per every..." He looked down to the sample. "Six cubic inches." He shook his head. "This simply shan't do... Computer, new idea, if they were designed to use the matter from the +

[10:32] [DOIC5] Sovek@xemion1111: diseases as a means of reproduction, how many would be needed?"

[10:32] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Computer] Processing...

[10:32] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He nods.*

[10:33] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Computer] Simulatoins indicate approximately twenty five nanites.

[10:33] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: =^= ENgineering to the Captain.

[10:33] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *looks at McCoy* Drop the forcefield.

[10:33] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [McCoy] You sure son?

[10:34] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Sighs* =^= Engineering to Doctor Sovek.

[10:34] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill glanced at Aria.*

[10:34] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: =/\= "Dower to the bridge."

[10:35] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I'm damn sure.

[10:35] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He maintains eye contact with Tiberius. His expression doesn't seem to change, though he is sweating a bit.*

[10:35] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --raises an eyebrow, a a generic sign of interest.-- =/\=Bridge here, go ahead.=/\=

[10:35] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: =^= This is the bridge, go ahead Engineering.

[10:35] [DOIC5] Sovek@xemion1111: "Much better." The doctor went to open his mouth, pressing his combadge instead he looked out of the view port to the Pilgrim. "=/\= I thought it was custom to wait before asking for a dead man's +

[10:35] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: ((NEVERMIND! :P))

[10:35] [DOIC5] Sovek@xemion1111: former possessions?"

[10:35] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: ((its okay you can respond.))

[10:35] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: ((oops capslock. sry <3))

[10:36] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [McCoy] Your funeral son, not mine. *The forcefield vanishes.*

[10:36] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She looks at Aria.*  "Maybe your combadge isn't working?"

[10:36] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris takes a deep breath and doesn't move.*

[10:36] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: =/\= "Bridge, Aria had an update to give."

[10:36] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: =^= Ensign Dower has figured out a way to disable the nanites spreading this plague we can initiate the procedure when you are ready Captain.

[10:37] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Alright. I'll make sure you arrive safely.

[10:37] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Thank you, Commander."

[10:37] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Now we just have to hope for the Doc to pull through with a cure in time. *smiles at Jill*

[10:38] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --Truns to Zem-- Work with engineering to initiate the nanite shut down proceedure.

[10:38] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She nodded.*  "I just hope he can find it soon."

[10:38] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Same here.

[10:38] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *Nods* Aye sir.

[10:38] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Commander T'PAng, to Lieutenant Commander Aria. You are authorized to begin the proceedure when ready.=/\=

[10:38] [DOIC5] Sovek@xemion1111: "=/\= I believe I also have a cure which will be exceedingly swifter with no opposition."

[10:38] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris looks straight ahead as they walk through the halls.*

[10:39] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Perhaps you can do some work from here.

[10:39] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: =^= Understood.

[10:39] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He tries not to make eye contact with the Commander or even glance in his direction, remaining silent.*

[10:39] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *McCoy shrugs and begins taking stock of sickbay, like old times before Sovek showed up.*

[10:39] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She set her hands on the console.*  "Shall I?"

[10:39] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Lieutenant Sieloh is standing by to assisst you if necessary.=/\=

[10:39] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Go for it.

[10:40] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: =^= Understood. THank you Captain.

[10:40] [DOIC5] Sovek@xemion1111: "Computer, reprogram the nanites for self-reproduction and begin mass replication using the sickbay replicators."

[10:40] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Sieloh is the blue one right? *to Li*

[10:40] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She sucked in a breath, released it, and attempted to use the way in that she had carved to shut down the nanites.*

[10:40] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Computer] Acknowledged.

[10:41] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *After a pause.* "Permission to speak freely?"

[10:42] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: =/\= "Dower to Sieloh, my connection is failing.  Can you boost our signal?"

[10:42] [DOIC5] Sovek@xemion1111: "Computer, please beam the body back to the its former location along with the samples."

[10:42] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *Beep boops away at her console, getting it all prepped and ready for any assistance engineering needed.*

[10:43] [DOIC5] Sovek@xemion1111: Sovek slowly reclined into the pilot's chair of the Aeroshuttle, looking out at the Pilgrim as it caught the sun's light.

[10:43] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Computer] Acknowledged. *The body vanishes with the familiar transporter hum, along with his samples.*

[10:43] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *It was a beautiful sight, the moment jarred by Sovek's combadge going off.*

[10:43] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *raises eyebrow* Given all you've said tonight, I wonder what could prompt you to ask this first. You have permission to speak freely.

[10:44] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: =^= I'm on it! *She quickly worked at her prepped console, focusing on trying to boost their signal.*

[10:44] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Do you think I've lost a lot of respect over this?"

[10:45] [DOIC5] Sovek@xemion1111: "=/\= I am attempting to die gracefully."

[10:45] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: You're going through a medical episode right now, and the Doctor isn't available to treat you. People should understand, but the reality is that some people may look at you differently.

[10:45] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "How does the first officer look at me then?"

[10:46] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: =^= Sieloh to Dower, I've got a connection. Give her a try now.

[10:46] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [McCoy] =^= What on Eminiar VII are all these daggum nanites doing in sickbay? Do I look like a Borg to you son?

[10:47] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: =/\= "Thanks!"  *Jill quickly tried to hijack the signal again and disable the nanites on the planet.*

[10:47] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Don't worry about it, Lieutenant. You're fine.

[10:47] [DOIC5] Sovek@xemion1111: "=/\= In a certain light your skin does have that tone, yes. Regardless; their canisters are to be deployed to the planet once Engineering has disabled the hostile nanites."

[10:48] [DOIC] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *All across Dreon VII, the nanites suddenly fall silent. The spread of the disease is over, although the damage has been done.*

[10:48] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She clapped her hands.*  "It's done!"

[10:48] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [McCoy] =^= It would be nice to be INFORMED once in a while instead of having to dig around for everything!

[10:49] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li beams at Jill, very proud of her.*

[10:49] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Awesome.

[10:49] [DOIC5] Sovek@xemion1111: "=/\= Frankly I did not know you were active."

[10:49] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris clears his throat.* "Right. Listen, uh..."

[10:49] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Thank you. Really. I just can't look at you because I'm using every ounce of my self-restraint right now."

[10:50] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: =^= Doctor hows that cure coming Ensign Dower managed to turn off the hostile nanites.

[10:51] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [McCoy] Commander Asada saw it fit to activate it...and if what I'm reading is correct, you're currently on your own medical quarantine...which means I am the only able doctor for the ship at the mome

[10:51] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: moment.

[10:51] [DOIC5] Sovek@xemion1111: "=/\= Please hold, EMH." He tapped his combadge twice. "2 =/\= Canisters are being replicated in sickbay as we speak, please deploy them as soon as possible."

[10:52] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: =^= Understood.

[10:52] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Uh, okay. Uh.

[10:52] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Ok guys lets get some of those torpedos modified to disperse the Docs cure as soon as hes done making it.

[10:53] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods.* Sloan's son was reportedly killed in action during the Dominion War.

[10:53] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He steps through the threshold of the door to his quarters.*

[10:53] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "And his daughter?"

[10:53] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: =^= Cal can you have you and your minions plot the optimal dispersion points in the planets gulf stream to spread something over the whole planet?

[10:53] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He turns around.* "Thank you, Commander."

[10:54] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: You're welcome. Computer, seal the door to Lieutenant Zital's quarters. To only be opened on order of the Captain, myself, the security division, or medical.

[10:54] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: -/\- Of course. It will give them something to do besides playing games in the dark.

[10:54] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He grimaces as the door shuts.*

[10:54] [DOIC5] Sovek@xemion1111: "=/\= Sorry, EMH, you were saying?"

[10:55] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: *SHe cracks the digital whip on her underlings to get to work plotting the spread of the nanites.*

[10:55] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Shay Sloan...I don't have anything more than a name.

[10:55] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *walks away* Whew.

[10:56] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [McCoy] =^= Are you expecting me to do something to all these daggum nanites when the computer is done spawnin' em?

[10:56] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *grabs a tool kit and heads to the torpedo storage area to conduct surgery*

[10:57] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Perhaps we should try get in contact with her.  If she's not Doctor Sloan, then she may know someone who would take her father's name.  An apprentice, maybe?"

[10:57] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *heads to the turbolift* Bridge

[10:57] [DOIC5] Sovek@xemion1111: "=/\= Help them get to Engineering, and, if you please, send the proper dosage to the Aeroshuttle else this rather ideal view shall indeed be my last, and, you will be the last I speak to."

[10:57] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: *SHe too works on it as well. Shaking her head dice for a roll.*

[10:57] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *walks onto the bridge*

[10:57] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *cracks open a torpedo and gets to work undergoing the modifications she blueprinted last episode*

[10:57] [DOIC5] Sovek@xemion1111: He covers his combadge. "And everyone wishes for that."

[10:58] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Seems like our only lead raelly.

[10:58] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: *hopes her minions are doing a better job.*

[10:58] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: really.

[10:59] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [McCoy] =^= A damn shame that would be...*the comm ends.*

[10:59] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: How are the calculations going liutenant?

[10:59] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Easy peasy. *finishes up the modified torpedo and gets to work on a second*

[11:00] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: Hit a snag on my end. Hoping the other Blue Suits are hitting better calculations.

[11:00] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "True.  But it's not our job to go after criminals; we're the engineers here.  We should work on those torpedos with Aria."

[11:00] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods* You're probably right.

[11:00] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods* You're probably right.

[11:01] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *A container of nanites is transportered into Sovek's cabin. *

[11:01] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --strokes her chin.-- Try using elements of chaos theory to model atmosphereic conditions, it will take more computer resources but wil get better results.

[11:02] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: The model doesn't need to be perfect. We merely need to get most of the surface in the first volley.

[11:02] [DOIC5] Sovek@xemion1111: The Vulcan turns to the canister, standing and moving to it he opened the canister. "Computer, monitor internal readings; alert me when disease is entirely eradicated."

[11:02] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: ALright. *SHe adjusts for such a theory.*

[11:02] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *Looks over to Tibs and nods to him.* How'd it go in sickbay?

[11:02] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill nodded at Aria as she headed over for one of the torpedoes, cracking it open and getting to work modifying it to Aria's specs.*

[11:02] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Computer] Acknowleged.

[11:03] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Everything is settled.

[11:03] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: This is the easiest part of this whole situation.

[11:03] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li smiles.* That's a relief.

[11:03] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --looks longingly at the science console, missing her glory days as a science officer.--

[11:04] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Mhm.  Just building things is a nice change of pace."

[11:04] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: Well I got a broad projection...Not likely to cover the whole planet in one go.

[11:05] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Doc said he had two canisters brewing so unless you guys feel like further seperating that two torpedoes should do it.

[11:05] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: Understood, Lieutenant. Inform engineering of what you have.

[11:05] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Computer] Nanite effectiveness at 65%.

[11:05] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: *She taps that shiny badge on her chest.* -/\- Lieutenant Kurot to engineering.

[11:06] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Two may do the trick, but we do want to spread it out as much as we can."

[11:06] [DOIC5] Sovek@xemion1111: "Well, at least I am already wearing red for my own funeral."

[11:07] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *nods* I guess we should make a spare just in case. THe science nerds will have the final say I guess since they are running the numbers.

[11:07] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li looks up at Aria* I think someone's calling for you.

[11:08] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "You take it, Li and I'll finish the spare torpedo."

[11:08] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Got it.

[11:08] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: =^= Engineering here.

[11:09] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li looks to Jill and chuckles.* Or not...I guess I'll help you with tis.

[11:09] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: this.

[11:09] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: -/\- I got the projections. Sending them to you now...*Does so as she speaks.* Not going to cover the planet's surface in one go though.

[11:09] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill pried off the casing and got to work.*

[11:10] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Computer] Nanite effectiveness at 78%.

[11:10] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li assists Jill with inputting a disperal mechanism inside the torpedo.*

[11:11] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: =^= How many dispersion sites do we need to cover everything?

[11:12] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: -/\- Five.

[11:12] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill shot Li a little smirk before she sealed the torpedo back up.*  "And that makes three."

[11:12] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: =^= Five!... Ok. We got this.

[11:13] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Um get to work on some more looks like we will need to have five.

[11:13] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She looked up.*  "Oh.  Well, we should keep working then I guess."

[11:13] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods, shooting Jill a sheepish grin before moving on to another torpedo.*

[11:14] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She smirked, deciding not to bring any attention to it as she headed for the fifth torpedo.*

[11:15] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li speaks in a low voice.* Thanks.

[11:15] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: =^= Sick bay how are the nanites coming? ANd can you split them into 5 even sized containers?

[11:15] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Don't mention it," *she replied as she popped off the case and got right to work at installing the nanite dispersal mechanism.*

[11:15] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --looks at Tibs-- I take it everything went well in sickbay, Mister Asada.

[11:16] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [McCoy] =^= I have enough here to feed a thousand...ya think I can fit 'em into five containers?

[11:17] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li successfully assists Jill with another torpedo.*

[11:17] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Hows it coming guys?

[11:17] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "We just finished this one up.  Did you get the other one going?"

[11:17] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: We had a minor personnel issue, but it was dealt with.

[11:19] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: rotfl

[11:19] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: ((Bah wrong chat))

[11:19] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Nods* I got one set up before you guys made it in.

[11:20] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Computer] Nanite effectiveness at 90%

[11:20] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Oh.  We need to make two more, then."

[11:20] [DOIC5] Sovek@xemion1111: "And here I was hoping to be released from the binding grasps of life."

[11:20] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: Do we have a status on the dispersal of the nanite cure?

[11:20] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Nods* I'll start on one. You two can work on another and help me if you finish first.

[11:21] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Sounds good.

[11:21] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Got it," *Jill nodded and headed over to get another prepped.*

[11:21] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Ene minie mine moe. *picks a torp then gets to work on modifying it*

[11:21] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I do not. But I can find out.

[11:21] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li scampered after Jill.*

[11:21] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: =/\= Asada to Sovek. Any updates?

[11:22] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: I believe the load is being dispersed as we speak.

[11:22] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She popped the case and got to work doing the thing.*

[11:23] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *With some effort, Li and Jill are able to successfully modify their torpedo. Aria does so with relative ease.*

[11:24] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: Mister Asada, have you been able to raise the doctor?

[11:24] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: =^= Engineering to bridge. We have the torpedoes ready we are just waiting on payload then whoever you chose can target the dispersal points Science chose.

[11:24] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Okay... that should be the last one."  *She resealed it and pat the torpedo once.*

[11:24] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I will try again, Captain.

[11:25] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: =/\= Asada to Sovek.

[11:25] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Understood Engineering.=/\=

[11:25] [DOIC5] Sovek@xemion1111: "=/\= Sovek here."

[11:25] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Five canisters, small enough to fit inside each torpedo are beamed next to Aria.*

[11:25] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Sweet load em up guys.

[11:25] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: Mister Asada, if you would assume the tactical station please and target the dispersal sites indicated by the science team.

[11:25] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill definitely didn't reseal it in that case.  She headed over to get the canisters and load them up.*

[11:26] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Aye, ma'am.

[11:26] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Works with Jill and Li to rapidly finalise the torps*

[11:26] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *to himself* This looks familiar. *logs into the Tactical console*

[11:26] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: I know I've said this like a million times today but great work. Both of you.

[11:26] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: As soon as you are ready you may fire at will.

[11:27] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: =^= ENgineering to bridge torps are ready.

[11:27] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She beamed at Aria.*

[11:27] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=acknowledges Lieutenant Commander Aria. Excellent work to you and your team.=/\=

[11:28] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li beams at Aria, walking up to plant a kiss on her cheek.*

[11:28] [DOIC5] Sovek@xemion1111: "=/\= Sovek to Bridge, Mister Asada cang but then did not pick up; have you all died and left me alone adrift in an Aeroshuttle?"

[11:28] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --looks at Tibs.-- When you are ready Mister Asada, you may fire the torpedoes.

[11:29] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Computer] Nanite effectiveness at 95%.

[11:29] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *smiles at Li and hugs him momentarily*

[11:29] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Pilgrim here doctro Sovek. Mister Asada has since become busy. He simply wanted to check on your status.=/\=

[11:29] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: We should get back to engineering in case they need us for anything else.

[11:29] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Of course, let's go."

[11:29] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *opens up the Torpedo management console and loads several of the nanite torpedoes into the bays*

[11:29] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods and steps back, heading for engineering.*

[11:30] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: We are loading the special torpedoes now.

[11:30] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *The torpedoes vanish as they are beamed to the torpedo bay and loaded by crewman into the Pilgrim's firing tubes.*

[11:30] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --pew pew pew--

[11:31] [DOIC5] Sovek@xemion1111: "=/\= I'll rejoin the Pilgrim in a few moments."

[11:31] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Locking torpedoes, and firing now...

[11:31] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=That is good to hear doctor. Excellent work overall.

[11:31] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tiberius viciously torpedoes the surface*

[11:32] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: ((really Tibs))

[11:32] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: (( SOMEONE TEAMWORK ME

[11:32] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: *Assists slick in his....Mannerisms.*

[11:32] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: ((I don't have team work.))

[11:32] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: =/\= "Lieutenant Zital to Sickbay."

[11:33] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: Are the torpedoes on course?

[11:33] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *funnels moar power to the aiming and pew pewing controls*

[11:34] [DOIC] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *The torpedoes have a somewhat shaky start but thanks to Lietuenant Kurot's retargeting, each reach their desginated marker and explode like flashpoints across the horizon of Dreon VII. The nanites in

[11:34] [DOIC] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: invade the planet, heading for the infected and even the dead.*

[11:34] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: And, they all lived happily ever after...except the people who died.

[11:35] [DOIC] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: *Slides Zem's involvement in there using her omnipresent powers.*

[11:35] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --Watches the torpedoes disperse their loads all over the planet.--

[11:36] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: =/\= "Zital to Sickbay, please respond."

[11:36] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: Science scan the surface and determine the effectiveness of the nanites.

[11:36] [DOIC] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *After a few minutes pass, Ensign Sieloh makes a startling discovery...*

[11:37] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [McCoy] =^= Please state the nature of yer medical emergency...

[11:38] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: Effectiveness at 76% Boss.

[11:38] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Computer] Nanite effectiveness at 100%.

[11:39] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: It appears there are 30 more active lifesigns on the surface that were detected before the nanites were launched..

[11:39] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: =/\= "Could you send someone down here with a sedative? I'm starting to feel really anxious and I don't want to try and break the door down."

[11:39] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [McCoy] =^= If I beam a hypo to ya can you inject yourself, or is this really a house call?

[11:40] [DOIC5] Sovek@xemion1111: "And just for good measure, Computer, vent the atmosphere of the Aeroshuttle and once fully vented refresh with replicated atmosphere." The Vulcan kneeled down in meditation, exhaling slowly.

[11:40] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Computer] Acknowledged...venting atmosphere.

[11:41] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: =/\= "Ideally, I'd like for someone less shaky to do it."

[11:41] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Computer] Now implementing replicated atmosphere.

[11:42] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [McCoy] =^= Fine...

[11:42] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [McCoy] =^= Fine...

[11:42] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: Alright continue to monitor the situation. Also can someone locate Lieutenant Commander Valkriss. What is her status?

[11:43] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Beep boops* Looks like its working guys. We may have just saved other planets from getting hit with this thing.

[11:44] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She breathed a sigh of relief.*  "Can't believe we pulled it off."

[11:44] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *fiddles with her controls and looks to locate Valkriss' lifesigns on the planet.*

[11:44] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: That was one of the most challenging assignments of my career. *He nods.*

[11:45] [DOIC5] Sovek@xemion1111: "Computer, using maximum cleaning protocol, beam me back aboard the Pilgrim and initiate level ten radiation sterilization once I have safely beamed away."

[11:45] [DOIC5] Sovek@xemion1111: The Vulcan moved over to the transport pad. "Energize."

[11:45] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --leans back in her chair, seems concerned.--

[11:46] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Sovek is whisked back to the Pilgrim before the shuttle is radiated.*

[11:46] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Yeah that was definitly a test of our engineuity. We came up with some pretty creative solutions I think.

[11:46] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: I still have her lifesigns, though it appears she may be unconscious.

[11:46] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Might have even came up with some things that might become the standard.

[11:46] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I think so.

[11:47] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I think so.

[11:47] [DOIC5] Sovek@xemion1111: Rounds the transport console. "If you would excuse me, chief." Taking over one of the consoles Sovek used the computer link with the Aeroshuttle to remote pilot it back into the dock once clean.

[11:47] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Necessity is the mother of invention, as they say."

[11:48] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Bridge to doctor Sovek.=/\=

[11:49] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *The shuttle makes it way back to the Pilgrim.*

[11:50] [DOIC1] Sovek@xemion1111: "Yes?"

[11:50] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "After all that, I feel like I need a synthale."

[11:50] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --turns, with a start-- Doctor, I did not know you had returned to the ship. I take it the cure was 100% effective then?

[11:51] [DOIC1] Sovek@xemion1111: "It was. The shuttle and myself have also been cleaned on the microscopic level, preventing any possible spread."

[11:51] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li smiles.* Maybe a Bajoran Ale....

[11:51] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li smiles.* Maybe a Bajoran Ale....

[11:52] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "I've never tried one of those."

[11:52] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Really?

[11:53] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: Excellent. Monitor the spread of the nanites on the surface. As soon as it is judged safe I want to beam the survivora to the ship for medical evaluation. Afterwards we will determine if they need >

[11:53] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: or want to be relocated.

[11:53] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Nope.  Never had the opportunity."

[11:54] [DOIC1] Sovek@xemion1111: "Of course." Sovek moved around to the centre console. "To be extra careful we can use the Aeroshuttle once again to ensure they are contained safely."

[11:54] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --plops her Vulcan ass down in the chair.--

[11:55] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Well you've defenitly earned one. Just make sure you drink it after extra duty and not before.

[11:55] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li chuckles.* Of course.

[11:55] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She winced at the reminder.*

[11:55] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Yeah..."

[11:57] [DOIC] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *With that the credits roll on the official episode, with those who wish to RP further are free to...*

[11:58] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I'm pretty sure Aria has had it before. *He smirks at her.*

[11:58] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Well, once we're done with extra duty we should meet up in the mess for some."

[11:59] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Sure!

[12:00] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill popped her knuckles, and got back to grunt work.*

[12:17] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *An unspecified amount of time later, after she'd finished her extra shift for smoking the devil's lettuce, she looked over at Li.*  "So how about that ale?"

[12:23] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Sure!

[12:24] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She grinned at Li and signed out of her console.*  "Shall we?"

[12:26] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li hops into the turbolift alongside her.*

[12:27] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Deck two."  *Vwoosh.*

[12:28] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She walked up to the replicator.*  "Two cold Bajoran ales, please."

[12:30] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *The replicator whizzes in front of him.*

[12:31] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill picked up one of the ales and motioned to an empty table.*

[12:31] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li picks up the other and nods.

[12:32] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li takes a seat, taking a sip.*

[12:32] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She slid into her seat, exhaling a long breath before she tried a sip.*  "Wow... that's actually pretty good."

[12:33] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li smiles* See? I told you.

[12:34] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She nodded and took another sip, relishing the chill.*  "Well, it was a long couple days... but hopefully if this happens somewhere else, they'll be able to use what we've done to stop the spread."

[12:35] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "It's... unthinkable how much damage was able to be done to the colony.  I would hate for it to continue to other planets."

[12:36] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li winces and closes his eyes.*

[12:36] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Sorry.  I didn't mean to be a downer."  *She looked down at her ale sheepishly.*

[12:37] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li looks down at his own bottle.*

[12:39] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: So many had to die...for nothing.

[12:39] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: For no reason at all.

[12:39] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Such a waste.  A waste of life, a waste of someone's ingenuity, time and effort."

[12:40] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li takes a large swig of the Ale.* So senseless...

[12:44] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: It's...*Li's eyes swell a bit.*

[12:44] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She frowned.*  "What is it?"

[12:45] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li places his hands on the table, shaking somewhat.* So many Bajorans...a primarily Bajoran colony...

[12:47] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Starfleet is going to find out who's behind this, Li.  This... genocide isn't going to go unpunished."

[12:48] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods, still obviously greatly affected by what happens. He slowly raises the ale to his lips.*

[12:49] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "I can't imagine how you must feel."  *She sighed.*  "For all the advancements we make and all the progress the galaxy goes through, it's unthinkable that sort of... evil still exists."

[12:50] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li looks up at her.* If there's one thing our teachings tell us...it's that evil will always exist in this galaxy.

[12:53] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She took another sip.*  "Back on earth, there are some that say that the capacity for evil resides in all of us.  I can't believe that, though.  I would never do something like... like -that.-"

[12:53] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li shakes his head.* Maybe not all of us...but I do believe there are evil people in this galaxy, Jill. *He stares at her with convinction in his eyes.*

[12:54] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "After seeing what happened to this colony, I have to agree."

[12:56] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I don't know why the Prophets have chosen to test us so strongly at this time...but it is hard to comprehend.

[12:58] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "It may not have been their idea at all.  You said that there were... evil spirits, pagh wraiths.  I'd imagine they'd have more to do with a decimated Bajoran colony than your Prophets."

[12:59] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li sips his ale.* The Prophets are supposed to help protect us from them...and supposedly the pah-wraiths were imprisoned in the Fire Caves by the Emissary.

[1:01] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "True.  But there are still people that worship them..."  *She sighed and shook her head.*  "Look at me, trying to make meaning out of a meaningless slaughter.  It's that human tendency to...

[1:01] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: see patterns where there probably are none."

[1:02] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li smiles and yawns, stretching out some.* I should probably get some rest...those double shifts were killer. I do appreciate talking with you about this. *He gives her a warm smile.*

[1:03] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Any time, Li.  I think we both needed to vent after all we've seen."  *She offered a smile in turn and sipped her ale.*  "Good night, Li."

[1:04] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Good night, Jill. *Li gets up and grabs his ale, walking out of the mess hall.*
