The security drill had gone better than expected, she had to admit it. L'Ola hadn't started off with very high hopes. In general, people tended to have the view that security officers caused as much violence as they prevented. No one wants to see the law enforcement around until something goes wrong. At which point the security officers get blamed for not having been there.
So from such an unglamorous starting point they'd got quite a long way. The activities chosen had been very deliberate. Most people would be able to see the point of recapturing escaped prisoners, and it combined a lot of the skills she got her officers to practise every day. It had also provided an opportunity for one of her senior security officers to get to know a new recruit, which would help with teamwork at a later date.
Writing up reports had never been one of L'Ola's strong points. But for some reason she wanted this to be a good report. Something had made her want to put that little bit extra effort in lately. There wasn't any rational explanation for the change. It wasn't as though she wanted a good reference to change jobs; there was no way she wanted to leave the Vesuvius and it was common knowledge that she had no desire to be made First Officer again.
Whatever the reason, it had motivated her to start the report as soon as she had returned to her (surprisingly tidy) quarters once the drill was finished. Well, almost as soon as she got back. There was a slight pause as she checked the latest security reports from earth. Central security had granted her access to the classified trace file on Lucy, and the reports that her sort-of daughter was missing hadn't been that comforting. However she was determined to keep the information from the rest of the crew, she really didn't want their sympathy.
"Computer, begin Security Drills report. Written by Commander L'Ola Kanz.
"Upon completion of the security drill I am pleased to report overall success as far as completion of tasks are concerned. The Brig scenario was completed in an acceptable time considering it was the first attempt by the group. At first I was concerned with the unwillingness of some team members to participate, but eventually everyone contributed.
"I was particularly impressed to see that all participants carried weapons upon request. Commodore Reckus especially should be congratulated for this, as I am aware that she dislikes weapons.
"It was nice to see the team members using skills from their own areas of expertise to help them complete the task at hand, especially with internal sensors and forcefields. My only concerns with the exercise were speed and efficiency, which would improve with practise if required."
She paused for a while to gather her thoughts together once more. "The concluding exercise was designed to give team members an insight into security training, whilst maintaining a casual environment. I was a little disappointed in the unwillingness of participants to complete the obstacle course as it was laid out, and would recommend a similar activity be scheduled for a later date to analyse crew fitness in an enjoyable way.
"I have enclosed all data recorded during the event. End of report."
L'Ola downloaded the report onto a PADD and placed it on her desk, ready to take to the Commodore first thing in the morning. Then she curled up with a mug of hot chocolate and a brand new novel that had been released the day before (Lucy had recommended it to her a few months back). It was nice to unwind at the end of a very satisfactory day's work.

Apparently, Commander Fox was becoming desperate for volunteers. Marco found this out when, as he was talking to L'ola, he brushed his hand through his hair, and it was misconstrued as self enrollment. Doctor D'Angelo, still trying to be suave, shrugged it off.
"How hard can it be?" he said in a bragging tone to L'ola. "You wouldn't want to join this mission? Otherwise I might get stuck with one of them." the doctor pointed at a group of crew mates, nothing about them stood out. He winked as he said it, showing he was just joking around.
"Well - I'll be in transporter room three. Maybe I'll see you there?!" D'Angelo held his composure until he left the bridge. In the turbolift, he let his head fall toward the wall, giving it a slight bang. He had never been formally on an away mission before. While this was going to be good practice, and hence a drill, his only goal was going to be to save himself from embarrassment- starfleet regulations or not.

Sonak nodded towards L'Ola. "You are volunteering commander," she told the surprised security chief. Her eyes then locked with Fox's. "As am I. I am curious to see how you will manage this, since I believe you have forgotten we are still locked in spacedock here at Bellicose."
She was indeed curious and half expected that beaming out was just a ruse. However, after putting on the spacesuit the three of them were actually transported somewhere. Their surroundings were dry and barren, though surprisingly there was a large frozen lake to their left and patches of what seemed snow covering small bright green bushes. "Odd combination," the Vulcan commented as she took out her tricorder, "a bush in full bloom but covered by snow."
Carefully she trailed towards the glinstering ice that covered the lake, finding that it wasn't plain water that was frozen. "The water is radioactive," she called back to her two companions, "but not at dangerous levels. I am going to take a sample to take back to the ship."
While she assumed they were on a holodeck, Sonak still couldn't be certain. For all she knew Fox really had transported them somewhere. She approached the lake's edge and knelt down to open her science kit. "Are you two finding anything of interest?" She knew the rest of the senior staff would be observing them in the astrometrics laboratory, analysing any data they were sending back to them.

Commander Kanz stood at the tactical console on the Bridge, taking the opportunity to go through ship status reports with Lieutenant Keggin. "Rich, while I'm on the next drill, could you get the forward phasers checked over with Engineering? I'm not convinced that they were lined up right."
"We could always pick a target and test them" Richard grinned, "I'm sure the Starbase wouldn't mind being blown up if it helped us find out."
"I'll make a note to ask for permission" she laughed and carried on flicking through the read outs.
One of the doors to the Bridge opened and initially L'Ola didn't look up, this changed, however, when she felt someone walk into her. "Watch out!"
"Oh - sorry!," he held out his hand as if expecting her to shake it. "I am Doctor D'Angelo, but you can call me Marco."
*Should probably get to know him now, might make things easier later.* She held out her own hand and shook his, "Commander L'Ola Kanz, but then you probably already knew that from the security drills. I answer to most names."
Marco looked a little disbelieving at this, "I can't imagine you'd get called many questionable things though..."
"Seriously, my ex-adoptive sister calls me Gagh-Brains. If I'll answer to that I'll answer to almost anything." "Ex-adopti.." "Don't ask." The smile on her face got a little bigger. This guy didn't seem too bad, and she figured she'd probably be safe the next time she knocked herself out.
"I believe we have a science drill next?" Marco stated and questioned the fact at the same time.
L'Ola nodded, "Yep, should be interesting. I used to be the Chief Science Officer on here so I still know a few of the people down there fairly well."
"I don't suppose they have told you what we will have to do...?"
"Unfortunately my main source is too hyped that his girlfriend just had a son..." L'Ola stopped talking and looked around the Bridge, realising that Fox was trying to find participants. She watched, not entirely surprised, as the Doctor left the Bridge to start the away team.
Sonak looked over in her direction, "You are volunteering commander, as am I."
That wasn't entirely unexpected either. Not that she minded at all, in fact it would be an interesting experience. And in all honesty, she had to admit that the temptation to catch up on gossip in the labs would have been too much.

"As am I. I am curious to see how you will manage this, since I believe you have forgotten we are still locked in spacedock here at Bellicose." Fox smiled "I know we're docked here." he answered as the Sonak and L'Ola walked to the turbolift to head to the transporter room. "Lets go to astrometrics" he announced after Sonak and L'Ola were off and walked to the turbolift. Not much later they all entered astrometrics. He appointed a station to Logan. "Keep an eye on that protostar." he said and led Nick and the rest to other stations to process the data the team below on the surface would be taking.

"A lake of deuterium-oxide. Interesting." Marco said, in his most astute voice possible. He turned to L'ola, and in a voice that was inaudible to the Commodore, said, "I will bet you any money this is the holodeck. There isn't a planet like this anywhere near the starbase."
The Commodore asked if the two officers were finding anything of interest. Marco took a look at L'ola, then thought better of the comment he was about to make.
"I haven't found anything yet. I was busy trying to find evidence that this was the holodeck. I guess it would help a lot if we knew what we are doing here."
As a Doctor, Marco felt useless. If this was the holodeck, safety controls would most likely render him useless. He was about to mention this to the group, when he heard a splash. He turned around, and saw that Commodore Reckus had just fallen through the heavy-ice into the radioactive water.

The Vulcan glanced sharply at her CMO. "You are to assume these circumstances are real doctor," she quipped as she gingerly walked onto the ice to collect further samples. "And our mission right now is to examine the effects of the protostar on this planet. So far, we seem to find evidence of radioactive activity, and we need to establish how this affects the planet."
She crouched down to scrape at the ice with one of her tools and deposit the sample in the destined container. The Vulcan heard the ice crack under her feet, but she was used to hearing that. The thing that did surprise her was that it didn't seem to be cold, unless her suit was adapting the temperature inside it for Vulcan comforts.
Inching another few centimeters forward, she tossed the container back at L'Ola, who deftly caught it and stored it away. "L'Ola, perhaps you could have a look at the vegetation while the good doctor has a look at the soil? Tricorder readings show something interesting here on this lake, which suggests that the protostar is responsible for the high levels of radiation."
The cracking got a little louder and a second later, Sonak felt the ice break away under her feet. She cried out in surprise as she splashed into the radioactive water and disappeared under the thick ice-sheet. Her heavy suit dragged her down, the pressure of the water crushing the fabric against her. The ice had torn the fabric and she felt ice-cold water seeping in. Terror seized her as she had nowhere to go but down.

Trey awoke to the beeping of his time piece, he turned over and picked it up of the his bed stand and steered at the time [0500] {another day another dollar} he thought to him self as he slowly got out of bed “computer play music file maverick1” as the music of yellow card began to play trey did a few stretches to loosen up his muscles, he then dropped down to do a set of push ups followed by crunches and squats, he also practices a few karate and judo moves, after he was done with all his work outs he headed to the sonic shower where he enjoyed a nice cold shower. He dressed himself had the last slice of leftover pizza from the night before then made his way to the bridge. As trey walk through the corridor making his way to the turbo lift his excitement began to grow, he was looking forward to fox’s scenario and what ever challenges it would bring
The turbolift door slid open and trey walked onto the bridge, it seemed like he was not the only one looking forward to fox’s scenario, most of the senior staff were already on the bridge and it didn’t take long for rest to show up. Now that every one was present and accounted for fox began his briefing. The image of a small solar system appeared on the main screen
Fox: "Starfleet has recently discovered this system it consists of this protostar, with 2 class K planets and a class F planet, we want to know in which state of development this class F planet is. Unfortunately we can't scan the planet from up here due to the magnestascopic interference of the protostar. So we'll have to do research on the planets surface. I need 3 volunteers for that away team. Spacesuits are ready in transporter room 3. The others will join me in the astrometrics lab. The protostar seems to be in a very advanced stage of development. We might witness the birth of a star here."
Before trey could even think of volunteering sonak had put her self up for the away mission she had also volunteered Lola as well and that was followed the new doctor. {I guess am heading down to astrometrics} he thought to him self. As he watched the three volunteers walk off the bridge and make there way to the transporter room he could not help but feel a little disappointed that he could not one of the three volunteers going down on the planets surface. He made his way to astrometrics and headed to one of the consoles. With a few key stokes an image of the f class planet appeared on the screen in front of him. As he began scan the planet one thing became very apparent, the star was bombarding the planet with an unhealthy dose of radiation.

As he began scan the planet one thing became very apparent, the star was bombarding the planet with an unhealthy dose of radiation. Fox walked to the station Trey was behind, seeing the radiation levels it showed. "I hope that the radiation will get less when that protostar grows into a star. Else it would be hard to colonize this planet." He walked back to his own station, wondering how the away team was doing, because communication had been cut off by the increase of magnestascopic interference from the protostar. He looked at Nick. "Is there any way to cut through the interference and open a comm-link with the away team?" Nick turned around on his chair. "We could launch a probe with a signal enhancer to the planets surface." Fox smiled and nodded "Good idea. Do it." Nick tabbed a few buttons at his console. On his own console Fox also tabbed a few buttons. "There she goes." said Nick. Sensors were indeed picking up the probe. Not much a signal appeared meaning it was active. Immediately Fox tabbed his badge. Fox called Sonak, not knowing about her situation. "Fox to Sonak. Whats the status down there?" (Sonak or L'Ola or D'Angelo)

Watching the events unfold on the holodeck from the comfort of his office, Byrne sat waiting the cues from Commander Fox to liven things up without sacrificing the repairs being done on the ship. Tapping a few buttons, he allowed the computers to play a little hazard with the communications. Just a shame that he couldn't jump at the chance to join the drill. Only problem was that he had no idea how to present his drill. Good thing he came back in time to participate in the drill with L'Ola. Although seeing the Commodore in a space suit was funny. Especially after what has happened inthe past few weeks, giving birth, saving a ship and facing a possible court-martial hearing. 'Just glad she didn't give me hell for the Martens issue', he thought. Using his prostetic arm, he ran a few equations for the upgraded warp engines. 'LaForge and Martens would be proud to see the new upgrades to the engines and seperation systems.', he beamed. After excusing himself from the Engineering Deck, he headed for the Engineering station on the Bridge to assume his temporary position as second in command.

"Fox to Sonak. Whats the status down there?"
It was the last thing D'Angelo heard before the Commodore slipped under the ice.
He tagged his communicator, hoping this was just a holodeck simulation. "D'Angelo to Commander Fox." Adrenalin was running through his body. "Doctor D'Angelo to the USS Vesuvius, do you read me?" Radiation burns were bad enough, but this was going to be combined with hypothermia.
"L'ola - I'm going to need your help if we are to get her out of here." D'Angelo stood at the edge of the ice crack, debating on whether to jump in or not.
The ice started cracking under his feet. He had L'ola toss him his tricorder, reconfigured it to look for lifesigns. "There are two. One Vulcan, and one..." the ice gave way, and Marco slipped into the water before being able to express his fear.
Once underwater, the freezing temperatures effected the facial area, being unprotected from the standard issued jumpsuit that Fox had insisted they wear. The depth was only 3 meters deep, and Marco hit the bottom, feeling something brush up against him as he did so. He instinctively grabbed for it, and it squirmed awkwardly around, avoiding his grasp. Whatever it was, it was not the Commodore.
Without having time to be scared, Marco tried bouncing himself off the floor. He could make out, with his eyes closed, that there was a light spot above him. That must be where he fell in.
On his third attempt, an arm reached out and grabbed him. He latched on, this time more cautious than last. It felt humanoid, this time. The burns from the lake caused the skin to flake, but Marco knew that the alpha radiation burns, although potentially fatal, were easily reversible; if they didn't die first from hypothermia.
Something brushed by Marco again, and again he grabbed for it, having no hope otherwise. It was a piece of material, and he instinctively grabbed on. Getting pulled to the surface was a ride in itself, with so much cold water streaming past his face. When he reached the surface, with the Commodore in tote, he grasped the edge of the ice.
L'ola was a few steps back, not wanting to fall in herself. She had managed to rip and tie her uniform into a long rope-like lifeline. It was all she could do in hopes of fishing the two out of the water, and it had worked.
"Fox to Sonak. Whats the status down there?" repeated again.
D'Angelo tapped the Commodore's combadge, but barely got out a word before he, too, fell into the later stages of hypothermia, and went unconscious.

Sonak felt herself brush against the bottom of the frozen lake. Her oxygen tank was crushed with the pressure of the water, having not been designed as a water tank and she was gasping for air. Freezing water had filled up her IV-suit, chilling her to the bone. As she gasped for air, and fought against the rising terror of being stuck in a confined space with nowhere to go, she breathed her first mouthful of water. Yet she still managed to keep hold of her, still running, tricorder. Surprisingly, the measuring item seemed to be reasonably waterproof and the team in the astrometrics lab was receiving some very interesting, underwater, readings.
Her eyes snapped open in fear, even as she felt something grab her by the collar of her suit. She struggled, but the something latched on tightly to her, dragging her up. Strong hands lifted her out of the water and she gasped for air as she crawled away. To her surprise, she spotted L'Ola seemingly half dressed, and out of the suit. A coughing sound drew her diminished attention and she was even more surprised to find the doctor looking like what humans tended to dub a 'drowned cat'.
That was her last recollection before she succumbed to the quiet and calm of unconsciousness, the freezing water, the terror and the radiation finally catching up with her.

That was her last recollection before she succumbed to the quiet and calm of unconsciousness, the freezing water, the terror and the radiation finally catching up with her. Finally with the signal enhancer in place they were able to pick up the readings Sonak's tricorder was taking. Together with that they also picked up another disturbing reading. Two weaking lifesigns, those of Sonak and D'Angelo. Immediately Fox tabbed his comm-badge, calling the transporter chief. "Emergency transport. Get the away team to sickbay." the chief immediately confirmed and transported them. Fox got up from behind his console, leaving the simulation running and walked to the exit of astrometrics. "I'm going to sickbay." he announced and walked out. While he walked through the corridors to sickbay, he was thinking by himself how this could be possible. He didn't override the safety settings of the holodeck for his simulation of that planet. This shouldn't have happend. After a few minutes he entered sickbay and saw Sonak and D'Angelo laying on a biobed. L'Ola was sitting on one. He immediately walked over to one of the nurses. "How are they?" he asked. Feeling a bit guilty because this happend in his simulation. (any want to take on the nurse?)

In the astrometrics lab, Jatan gasped as he too was seized by the terror his bondmate was experiencing. He grabbed hold of Trey's arm for support, painfully diggin his nails into the marine's arm. He gasped again, before he finally fainted and sagged down to the deck, taking the marine with him.
(Trey)
~~
Instead of the nurse, Doctor John Caldwell answered him. "Both doctors are unconscious," he reported grimly, "and suffering from radiation poisoning. Commander Kanz suffered minor radiation poisoning, and only because the was so insensible as to removing the IV suit. Additionally to radiation poisoning, the commodore is suffering from severe hypothermia and shock."
Caldwell walked over to the commodore's bed and proceeded to make a few adjustments to it. "I've got them both covered in hyperthermic blankets and they're treated for the poisoning. However I don't know what'll happen when they wake up. I'm sure you'll want the first officer informed about this incident?" He patted Fox encouragingly on the arm. "I know this was an accident. Commander Byrne should be called to have a look at the holodeck in question. If you didn't program that, it must've been a flaw in the programming."
He paused as he walke over to D'Angelo. "While I'm grateful that he saved our captain's life, I feel he's gone crackers. Diving into a radioactive, freezing cold lake. Oh, and the commodore suffered a cut to her shoulder as she sagged through the ice. She'll be sore for a bit, but she'll be fine. Both'll be fine." Now he turned to L'Ola. "Commander Kanz you're released from sickbay." He handed her the dripping tricorder. "I've neutralised the radation, it's safe to handle it now. Perhaps you'd want to have a look at the data?"

As trey tried his best to monitor the away team one the surface of the planet he found it extremely hard to keep them in range of his scanners due to the high level of radiation coming from the star. As he continued to scan the space surrounding the planet he notice that it was accompanied by two moons, he also noticed at curtain times during there revolution round the plant the two moons would face the star at the same time. As a result of this the magnetic fields of the moons would increase exponentially creating a small shield which protected the planet from the stars radiation. By calculating how fast it took each moon to rotate on its axis and revolve around the planet he was able to conclude that it took the moons 90 days to get to that point and that they would stay at that point for 30 days. {Wow so cool} he thought to himself. Then suddenly his consol began beeping. His scans of the planets surface had picked up something. The high radiation levels on the planets surface was coursing its ice sheets to melt at an alarming rate. “Oh boy, this is not good” he said to himself.
“What’s not good” came a voice from behind him.
Trey turned around to see the face behind the voice. It was Jatan his CO’s husband
“Well just don’t seat there looking at me what did your scans pick up?”
“Amm. Well sir all scans indicate that the radiations is coursing the planets ice sheets to melt an extraordinary rate” trey explained
“So what’s so wrong with that?” asked Jatan. Trey continued with his explanation
“Well the planet is about 90% water. And am guessing, our little away team was beamed down right in the middle of an ice lake. Now by calculating the rate of ice melting I would safely conclude that they are most likely walking around on a very thin sheet of ice that might be just about ready to give way.” Jatan was silent for a few moments he seemed to be thinking.
“I don’t think there is an thing to be worried about, but to be on the safe side maybe we should contact them and brief them on the……” Jatan went silent
“Sir is there some thing wrong” asked trey. But there was no. there was a sudden gasp from him and a looked of terror in his eyes.
“Sir are you okay” trey asked. Jatan grabbed held of Trey's arm for support, painfully digging his nails into the marine's arm. He gasped again, before he finally fainted and sagged down to the deck, taking the marine with him.
“SIR!...” =/\= astrometrics to transporter room 1 medical emergency two to beam directly to med bay=/\= seconds later trey and Jatan materialized in sick bay.
“What happened here” asked one of the nurses.
“Don’t really know one moment we were talking and the next he was grabbing my arm and taking me for a ride to the floor.” Answered trey “is he going to be alright”
“Well won’t know until we get him checked out” answered the nurse.

Marco awoke to Nurse Alice's smiling face. She was wiping a damp cloth on his head, humming a tune as she did so. She was startled when D'Angelo groaned, not expecting him to be awake.
"....giant swimming lizzar.."
"Now now, just rest Doctor." He was clearly not completely with it, mumbling for the next minutes about a giant sea monster.
Later, he would learn, that the sea creature was the intended study of the simulation- that is, until the simulation took an unexpected turn. Holodeck controls, of course, were offline. They probably should have been too, otherwise the three might not have acted in true fashion. The three were not too thrilled that their tribulations were for naught. They would discuss it later, after the drills, when the three happened to be together while dining. Apparently, with the safety protocols disabled, alpha radiation can easily be created. From those in Astrometrics, as Sonak later found out from Trey who was watching the monitors, it appeared that the system's star was emitting the radiation. Fox had programmed this in, but he had forgotten to deactivate it's effect on the crew. The thought still made Marco's skin boil, and the Commodore's skin chill- but it was nothing compared to watching L'ola's face when she recounted her choice of uniform usage in front of everyone who was watching in Astrometrics.
"Alice?" Marco questioned, finally emerging from his sleep. He looked at his outstretched hand, which was reaching for comfort. It had radiation burns, but the bio bed was already regenerating them.
"You have some minor radiation burns. It probably feels a lot worse than it really is."
"Commodore Reck..?.."
"She's doing just fine. She's right over there?" Alice pointed, but Marco couldn't lift his head high enough to see, so he had to take her word for it. The light above Alice's head shown past her hair, which glistened beautifully.
"L'ola? Is she ok?" The last he remembered, she was pulling them out of the radiation lake.
"She's fine too. She just had a tad bit of frostbite, but nothing serious or irreversible. Actually, you were all lucky. Every injury seems reversible." That was fine now, Marco thought, but that didn't make his burn-taught skin feel any better.
Fox came over, attempting to apologize.
"Don't worry about it, Commander. All in a day's work." Marco couldn't wink, but in perfect health it would have been in his nature.
"In fact, you all got quite the show, I bet."
Fox acknowledged Marco's last statement, more embarrassed than his medical officer counterpart was amused. Marco didn't hold this against him, people make mistakes. "All's well that ends well" Marco let out before Alice shooed Fox away.
"You need your rest, sir." She cued the computer to dim the lights to 10% intensity. The lights above his bed deluminated.
"Commodore?" Marco said, hoping he would get a response before Alice came back getting after him to get some rest.
"Yes?"
"I hope this means that I'm excused from the rest of the drills!"
This time, however, the Commodore could tell from Marco's voice that he was only kidding.

"All's well that ends well" Marco let out before Alice shooed Fox away. [/color] Fox didn't want to discuss wether this incident was a mistake by him in the programming the holodeck or a technical error. He walked to the doors of sickbay as Alice hold him both officers needed their rest now. And headed back to astrometrics to work on the report of this incident. Immediately as he walked in he went to the console he had been sitting behind before. And ended the simulation on the holodeck and the ships sensors to go back to normal. On the bridge the view of the spacedock returned on the main screen. After a short time working behind his console he turned to the first officer and handed him a padd. "I do not know the cause of what happened. But i take full responsibility for what happened to Sonak and D'Angelo. It was my drill, my simulation. Here's my report." the first officer nodded. Fox turned around an left astrometrics again. For a while he wandered through the corridors of the Vesuvius, thinking about what had gone wrong.

She was not in the least amused, and certainly not by the CMO's attempt at being witty. "That depends on whether we are released by Doctor Caldwell," Sonak remarked dryly, "and I believe we will be. Did I not just hear Fox' voice?"
Caldwell approached, his expression grim. "Yes, and I told him to leave. Now be quiet you two, you need rest. You both were exposed to high levels of radiation, even though it was just on the holodeck, sub zero temperatures and in your case commodore, near drowning. I thought you were an excellent swimmer, why didn't you swim?"
Sonak glanced up at the assistant CMO, looking thoroughly annoyed. "Because I was frozen with fear," she admitted, "the pressure of the water, along with the leak in my suit, caused my suit to be pressed against me. I could not breathe and all I could think of was being in a small enclosed space. You would remember that I am claustrophobic?"
Caldwell nodded. "That I remember, good then that the dear doctor is so selfless." He winked at his CO, while he saw D'Angelo's face redden in response. "Now, I want the both of you to rest, and tomorrow we'll see if you'll be released from sickbay. If you'll excuse me I've got to talk to Commander Kanz and Commander Byrne." The assistant CMO left the two doctors alone, hoping that they would take the rest and not continue to talk quietly among themselves.
He tapped his combadge. "Commander Byrne, please report to sickbay. There's something I need to show you." He picked up the half-soaked tricorder; they'd been lucky to transfer the recorded data to a PADD before the instrument finally sputtered and died. When Byrne arrived, he held out the tricorder. "This one's no longer water proof," Caldwell reported, "it was subjected to sub zero temperature, radiation and water....please repair the commodore's tricorder as soon as possible? She'll want it back soon."
(Byrne)
Meanwhile, Sonak struggled to sit up and glance at D'Angelo. "Thank you," she said simply, then limply fell back into her pillow as the room seemed to turn on its axis around her. "That was a very frightening experience," she whispered as she stared at the ceiling, willing it to stop spinning. "I thought I was going to die..."
(D'Angelo)
After talking to Byrne, Caldwell approached Maverick and the nurse he was talking to. "Doctor Reckus will be just fine," he reassured the marine, "both of them, actually. Jatan will be released from sickbay soon. The commodore I'm keeping overnight. If you promise not to wake her if she's asleep, or to excite her if she's still awake, I'll allow you a brief visit."
(Trey)

After inspecting the drowned tricorder, Byrne realized that it had been tampered with, as with the environmental suits being worn by the away team. It seemed that the holodeck had been acidentally programed to emit ALL of the active radiation thhat could have been present on the planet's ice field, and that contact with the surface ice amplified it, causing the accident. "Commander Byrne to Fox, please join me in the Science Lab on Deck 8. I have created a few possible scenarios for the incident in the holodeck." <TAG Fox> "Byrne to Bridge, lock down the Starbase repair crews responsible for reapiring the relays on that deck. We have noticed a few spikes in the power grids on that deck. And send a copy of this report to Commodore Sonak, when she awakens. I am also going to need all programming for the Fox scenario in my office." With that, Byrne went to join Fox in the upper Science Lab.

It was a few hours before D'Angelo's core temperature was regulated within normal body temperature range. Commodore Reckus, being a Vulcan, recovered quicker, even though the extent of her problems were greater. L'ola had been released from sickbay a long time back.
D'Angelo was intent on getting some food into his system, so he headed out of sickbay, having a signed release from Jatan Reckus.
The automatic doors had just hissed shut from sickbay, when the Commodore happened to be making her way around the corner. She handed him a padd containing Marine drill preparations.
"I've just been released from sickbay, what kind of crazy people are you on this ship?" That's what he wanted to say, of course, but all he could muster up was "Where are we going to meet?"
"You'll have to wait for Mr. Maverick's briefing for that. He should be making an announcement as soon as he's ready."
"Fair enough," the Doctor thought. Hopefully, since he was so eager to volunteer on the last away mission, he would be able to hide in the crowd of other officers. He was once an athletic person, until his injury. He was sure he would be able to do anything physical that the marines could throw at him, and conceitedly figured he could easily out think them. Either way, he would rather remain in the shadows.
Reaching his quarters, he laid down, awaiting orders to do otherwise. He replicated a simple glass of water, and some oatmeal cookies.
=/\= Computer, new message. =/\=
The computer chirped. Marco spoke, replaying his message over again a few times to make sure it sounded OK.
Dear Miss Kanz,

"Commander Byrne to Fox, please join me in the Science Lab on Deck 8. I have created a few possible scenarios for the incident in the holodeck." "Be right there Commander." Fox answered and walked immediately to the Science Lab. Right after entering he walked to the console Byrne stood behind. "I take you found something?" he asked. Byrne nodded and showed him some flaws in the program Fox had created on the holodeck, even the savety protocols were off. He looked at Byrne. "That is not my program." he said. Immediately Byrne tabbed his comm-badge and called for a lockdown, then he looked at Fox again "Then what did you create?" Fox had been looking over the pad with his holodeck program several times to also find out what went wrong. He handed it to Byrne. "I hope you can make something off it." still looking straight at Byrne "Now if you will excuse me Commander, i'm needed again in astrometrics to finish up my drill." Byrne nodded With that he left the science lab and went to astrometrics calling everyone who participated in the drill to it also. He hoped Sonak and D'Angelo were recovered far enough to attend also. To his surprice everyone was there when he entered astrometrics. "Now for the hard part." he thought as he had to present the results without trailing off to the incident. He made some of the measurements appear on a screen. "From the readings the away team took we can see this planet with all the interference and radiation is not quite suitable yet for colonisation." Fox went on for some minutes. When he was done with the results from all the sensor/tricorder readings he thanked everyone for participating in his scenario. People started to leave. Fox quickly looked around, but he couldn't see her anymore. He quickly walked out of astrometrics and saw her walking and ran to her. "Commodore!." he called. Sonak stopped and turned around. Fox walked to her. "I feel i need to apologize for what happened in the holodeck." he said. Sonak nodded. (Sonak)

On her way out, Sonak was stopped by the science chief, who was apologizing profoundly for the incident. Since the Vulcan knew her chief well enough to know he would never intentionally create such a malfunction, she waved it off. "If engineering is on it to fix the problem then it should be all right," she answered, "I know you would not intentionally harm anyone. That is just not in your nature."
She patted him on the arm briefly. "Do not dwell on it Fox, accidents do happen and we all recovered just fine. No lasting after effects were noted by Caldwell." She smiled softly. "Except that our new chief medical officer grasps at everything to get out of any drill scenario. I cannot wait to see him try weasle himself out of Trey's scenario."
Sonak paused. "Speaking of which...have you seen Trey?" Just at that moment, the SMO hurried past. "We will discuss your report later Commander Fox," she added formally before rushing after the SMO. "Lieutenant Maverick, do you have your scenario ready?"

"Lieutenant Maverick, do you have your scenario ready?" came sonak’s voice from behind him
“Yes ma’am but there will be no briefing on what it is about and when it’s going to take place”
She seemed perplexed at his statement, so he continued with his explanation.
“Well you see, as a marine the greatest test of one’s skill is to see how one functions under pressure in the unknown, well it will be the same with my scenario. So be on your guard and expect the unexpected, and if i were you I would get an early night” and with those words he made his way to his quarters.
=/\=all hands, this is your S.M.O. as of 0500 the VESUVIOUS was infiltrated by a group of terrorist calling them self RED NOVA, they have already taken over the bridge, torpedo bay, engineering , the weapons lookers, all cargo and shuttle bays . They seem highly knowledgeable about the ships layout and systems which means we have our self’s a mole, objective one, make contact with whom ever is in charge of this group and find out there demands. Two find our little mole. Three retake all post with out harming any of the hostages. And lastly teach this terrorist that they don’t mess with the crew of the VESUVIOUS and get away with it. Now pear up, lets go get our ship back, trey out =/\= and with these words trey watched the senior staff rush out of there quarters pick there partners and headed out still in there sleep wear.
“ miss Lola you’re with me, we’ll retake torpedo bays and move on from there, lets move out” Lola seem a little more than upset having to team up with trey but did not say a thing and did as she was told. As they walked down the corridor trey notices Lola eyeing uneasily.
“What?” he asked but there was no answer from her, she just motion to him to keep moving, so he did just that. As the continued down the corridor he notices she became a lot more uneasy. “what is it?, look I know you don’t like me much but we have to work together if we are to get out of this and retake the ship” then he notice her steering him down and it hit like a tone of bricks, it was the way he was dressed or lack of. All he had on was a pear of black shorts with fluffy pink bunnies on them
“It’s the bunnies right. Look am sorry I could not cover up but this all just happened so fast so could you look passed this”. The two continued to the turbo lift. Lola was quick to notice that the lifts were taken off line and subjected they take an alternate route.

Marco woke up. It was 0500 hours, and he the drills had started. "This is getting ridiculous!" he yelled out, but nobody was in the room to console him. He tossed himself out of bed, got dressed, and like deja-vous, he was in the hallway again at an ungodly hour waiting to begin training.
He caught the tail end of the communique, as it took a few words before he fully woke up, and nobody had the consideration of calling a briefing of any sort. He must have missed the part about picking partners, because people were pairing off left and right. Heading down the hall, he saw L'ola. He asked if she wanted to partner up - I mean, they already had been partners once so why no... Trey interrupted his thought, claiming her as his partner. "That settles that, I suppose."
Not all too disappointed, mostly conniving for who to partner up with, Marco ran into Commodore Reckus - but she was busy in her quarters toting her children back to bed. Apparently the Doctor wasn't the only one to be caught off guard. As he approached her, he realized she was already partnered up as well. "Alrighty," he said, to nobody in particular, and made his way to the turbolift.
In an intruder situation on his last assignment, a freighter, his duty was to secure the medical supplies, and lock down sickbay. That didn't sound like an all-too bad idea here. The only problem was, if he wanted to get to sickbay, he would be traveling down the Jeffries tube. He could tell the turbolift wasn't working from the collection of officers that were near it either trying to reroute power, or trying to get convince the computer to let them have access to the transporter system.
"Well - Jeffries tube it is."
Marco followed an Ops officer through the innards of the ship, until his path diverged toward sickbay. Reaching the horizontal point in his journey, he pounded the shaft cover off of its hinges, and moved into sickbay. Everything seemed in place, and he ordered the nurse on staff to lock-down sickbay. She was a bit homely, compared to Nurse Alice, and Marco's fantasy of being stuck in sickbay with a nurse faded rather quickly.
With nothing better to do, Dr. D'Angelo reconfigured the internal sensors, which the intruder didn't have the sense to disable for his deck, to detect life-signs within the vicinity of sickbay. There were none present thus-far, but if someone tried to come in, they would be greeted with a hypospray that will put them quickly to sleep. Marco waited further instruction, curious as to how the other teams were handling their end of the situation.
