Commander McCord walk over to the Bridge science station as Lt. Veda proceeded to the Bridge Engineering station . Quincy taped his COMM badge, “ Computer, Authorization McCord, Alpha, Zeta, zero zero, three!” The computer aboard the Sarek Acknowledged in its usual monotone voice, “Authorization accepted!” looked to Veda for one moment then continued, “ Engage security protocols!” The computer acknowledged. The doors closed and the security system engaged, whether the romulain or Cardassins could defeat theses new security system up-dates
~~1 hour later
Lt. Veda had began to study the Bridge New electronic locking system

Post by Elron on Jun 21, 2004 12:20:44 GMT
Elron read Lt T'Caph's communique' with pleasure. The Black Tulip was likely to need a CEO with her level of skill before this encounter was over. He sent a reply via the USS Vesuvius. Commodore Sonak was a good friend of his and he knew she would deliver his officer safely. He had heard rumours of strange goings on at the Academy in the last few days, and wondered what it was all about.
He next turned his attentions to the status of the task force. They had split-up somewhat after the crew transfer, but Elron decided their best bet was to regroup. The USS Orain had successfully rescued the King of the Federation world Falcolvia from a Terran pirate raid, largely thanks to her new FO Lt Saberwyn. Meanwhile, Cmdr McCord was overseeing Captain Thelev's orders for preparation on the Sarek. The task force was still holding its current heading for the Romulan border, but had also been ordered to keep a look out for Borg activity. The pirate raids were worrying and Elron couldn't help feeling that they were connected somehow, but it would be only too easy to look for a threat from the wrong direction.

-a few hours ago-
Gauthier recieved his orders from Admiral Elron and went from his tiny Ready Room to the Bridge. walking on he moved to his new command chair.
Robert -"Ensign lay in a course for Trata VI warp 5."
Helm Officer -" aye captain, laying in course, warp 5"
Robert -" Engage!"
The Sirius moved into position to warp out of the system, when the whole ship shook
Robert -" someone tell me what the hell just happended!"
Ops Officer -" sir 3 power conduits just overloaded on decks 2 and 3. we've lost warp power for now."
Robert-" have the outpost send back some engineering teams, we need to get underway asap, and inform Admiral Elron, we will be delayed"
Operations Officer -" yes Captain"
----------5 hours later---------------
Robert -"status report Lieutenant"
Ops Officer- " we should have warp power momentarly"
the ops officers panel chimed
"sir we have warp power"
Robert -" good, helm set a course for trata VI, warp ...."
Ops-" sir we are recieveing a comm signal from the Black Tulip, she is requesting all task force ships to re-group in the Irae system as soon as possible"
Robert shifted in his seat
Robert-" very well, return the communicay, tell them were on our way...... Helm, set a course for the Irae system warp 8."
Helm-" aye warp 8"
Robert -" Engage"
the Sirius jumped to warp, with out an explosion this time.

Location: USS Orain Briefing room 1. Bema sat at the main chair to the right of Captain T'Prel. The female Vulcan was explaining the mission details. He had heard some of this information while he was on the Tulip. "So any questions?" she asked as she relaxed. Doctor Gibson rose his hand. "Captain. Is there any connection between these pirates and the Borg?" he asked cautiously. Bema spoke after the captain indicated to him. "We are not really sure. This New Terran-Romulan Order is certainly up to something but we are not certain," Bema replied. The vulcan folded her hands. "I want all stations to give me a full tactical report on the systems. Lieutenant Saberwyn start planning strategies for our recon porsion of this mission and try to find a way to avoid the Terran pirate ships. I want everyone to get some rest we have a busy few days a head of us," the Captain said quickly. The senior staff nodded in agreement. The Vulcan dissmissed the crew. Bema was one of the first ones to leave he needed to sleep. He hadn't slept since Tahl had died and he was tired. Katherine was not far behind her husband. She also needed sleep at least as much as he needed. Bema turned to Kate after seeing she was behind him. "Kate I will be in bed in a few minutes I just need to do something," Bema said calmly. Once inside their quarters Bema sat at his Desktop PC and started recording. Personal Log stardate 900619.24 I am now the acting FO of the USS Orain. It is a Galaxy-Class starship and it reminds me of the USS Hepta. I have recently been knighted and I still miss Tahl. I feel that I am moving on but a piece of me is still missing. Bema finished the message and headed for bed. Location: USS Black Tulip bridge. The Vessuvius was in close proxcimity to the Tulip. James who had just been promoted to full lieutenant was anxious to continue the mission. As soon as the new crew member was onboard James set a course to continue the mission at hand. Elron turned his attention to the young lieutenant. "Mr.Brewster I want you to give our new engineer a tour," Elron said in his stern voice. James nodded and headed for a turbolift. Three minutes later Transporter Room Two: James walked into the transporter room expecting a male engineer. He was surprised to see a young Vulcan female. OOC: No need to appologize Admiral. I have had trouble getting to a computer for the last few days. I may have more trouble and welcome to the USS Black Tulip Lieutenant T'Caph.

==computer Begin 1st officer log ==
Cmdr McCord had left the bridge an hour earlier amidst his meeting with captain Thelev and the rest of the Sarek senior Staff. There had also been some strange Medical reports about two security officers Being attack on board the Sarek doing the battle . They were both suffering from shock and recovering in sickbay now I as so have a spy on board as well I have Lt, Cmdr Trey start to Investigation .
Cmdr McCord “the responsibilities of being the 1st officer did not finish at the end of his duty shift, as it us to when he was a senior science officer on the Black Tulip his mind was still a buzz with the recent activities.
The recent mission Details and the Latest Intel Reports on the pirates and the Borg was at the forefront of his mind. Cmdr McCord “also had the Array problem that was bugging him because Lt, Cain team had been unable to find any discernable evidence from the PADD that had been left behind by the intruder. Cmdr McCord” hated mysteries and this had become one.
The other issues were popping into his head at intermittent moments just as he had finally relaxed. And so he made a decision that although he was tired he needed to do something to take the stress issues away from his mind.
~~ Sarek Holo-deck training simulators
Cmdr ,McCord arrived with his kit bag in hand and used his PADD to down load the training simulation. This was a program he had not used in nearly a full year and he was intrigued at what he would find. The simulation was programmed to have an AI and would alter the program to suit the student and randomized many events so the program could be used daily without it becoming a little tiresome in its repetitiveness.
Quincy entered the Holo-deck and found himself in the familiar surroundings of the JKA Dojo at Mars’s central. There were sounds of Kia (shout) from the large gym as a Karate class was being drilled in Kata.
The JKA and Shotokan Karate had made a renaissance return to Japan over 2 hundred years ago and had developed a large number of followers. Quincy was one of them and had achieved his 3rd Dan Black belt before entering Starfleet Academy training. He had continued this ancient human form of martial art throughout his life and found it to not only maintain his overall fitness but kept him sharp and deadly also.
<< Below is authentic Shotokan Karate >>
After quickly changing he walked quietly down the corridor to the senior’s class and entered the large gym. As soon as he did many other Black belts also entered and began to quietly run through their stretching exercises. This was a queue for Quincy too to stretch and so he did so for a few moments until the Japanese sensei Master Enoeda arrived. There was then a sharp call and the class lined up from left to right senior to junior grade of Black belt. The session had now started and even though they were only holo-bots around him it felt very real and he allowed his mind to drift into the class. The Sensei started them with a combination of Yoko Geri Kikomi (side thrust kick)then moving into a rising block and twisting into Gyaku Tsuki (Reverse punch). They repeated this technique several times until moving on to more complex basic combinations. By the time they began practicing the Kata ‘Sochin’ the gie (karate suits) were drenched with sweat and Quincy was enjoying the adrenaline fix. At the end it was free style of which he had opted for the full contact with points with a matched ability setting for the opponent bot.
Sensei called them both into the square and they stood at the marks facing each other and bowed. The Sensei called for them to begin with a sharp shout and they both adopted a fighting stance. They moved back and forth with empty hands in a deadly dance their movements sharp and strong to match their cries as they attacked. The bot was counter attacking well and Quincy had great difficulty against him. The faster Quincy became the faster the bot would move and then increase its speed slightly so as to punish and push Quincy harder. It was at a critical moment as his opponent moved forward with a Mawashi geri (round house kick) that Quincy finally scored the Ippon (killing point) with an inside Ushiro Geri (spinning thrust kick) keeping low under his attackers head attack. The kick caught his opponent in the mid-drift and the sensei shouted out Yamei (stop).
~~ Cmdr McCord’s quarters. 2 hrs later
Cmdr ,McCord had benefited from the training session and decided he must not leave it so long until he returned there again. He had looked through the many recipes and decided he would try his hand with the replocator. Cmdr McCord> ++ Tapps++ “Cmdr McCord to Lt, Cmdr Karen Harper, long time no see I heard you where on Board The Sarek And congratulations on making First officer Rank it will take some time to get use to you being a Command officer ? Quincy” Thought being I was about to cook you would like to come and see my new Quarters and sample my … ::coughs:: cooking? Are you free right now?”

James walked into the transporter room expecting a male engineer. He was surprised to see a young Vulcan female.
T`Caph stepped off the pad and reached for a bag among her belongings.
James : Welcome aboard Lieutenant. Don`t worry about your things, they will be taken to your quarters for you.
T`Caph hesitated for a moment then replaced the bag which contained Peter`s holostatue.
T`Caph : Thank you
James :: stepping forward and extending a hand to greet her :: Are you up to a quick tour ?
T`Caph : Indeed. I have familiarised myself with the ships schematics and would like to see everything first hand as soon as possible.
James : Your wish is my command
T`Caph :: surprised :: I apologise, I did not intend to command you
James :: laughing :: Come on, lets get going
T`Caph walked alongside James as he took her to the main areas of the ship and introduced her to any crew they met along the way. Everyone appeared most efficient to the Vulcan Engineer.
Finally they were in Engineering itself. T`Caph walked around slowly taking everything in, randomly looking at PADDs as she went. Everything seemed in order.
James : Your attention everyone - this is our new CEO, Lt T`Caph.
All the engineering staff turned to her and gave a greeting. They wondered what she would be like to work with. Was she a typical " cold " Vulcan ?
Crewman : Lt T`Caph, welcome, we have been expecting you. :: looks around nervously :: We, er, we wondered, would you like to meet us in ten forward when you are settled in and our shift is over ? Just so we can get to know each other informally. I know its a bit presumptuous of us perhaps.
T`Caph looked at the man, who was blushing and now appeared most disconcerted
Crewman :: mumbling a little :: Sorry Lieutenant, bad idea. You probably want a formal briefing. Sorry...
T`Caph : You are correct, I will call a formal briefing - when you begin your next shift. :: the crew stiffened slightly :: However, you will all no doubt be hungry when you finish here, so I will meet you in ten forward at 2100 hours to, as you put it, " get to know you all ".
The crew visibly relaxed and James grinned broadly behind her.
T`Caph :: turning to James who forced a straight face when she looked at him :: Now, I would like to see the Bridge and formally report for duty if it is convenient ?
James : Of course
He extended his arm toward the door. T`Caph nodded to the engineering crew, saying " carry on " then walked to he door followed by James. He could not help but turn to the crew and give them a wink.
T`Caph was not sure but she thought she heard someone say, " You lose the bet, she is *not* such a typical Vulcan " followed by relaxed laughter as the door swished closed behind herself and her escort.
A few minutes later they stood in the turbolift as it opened onto the Bridge. All eyes were on her as she stepped forward to meet her new CO.
T`Caph : Lt T`Caph reporting for duty Sir. I apologise for my delay. There was an " incident "at the Academy.
She recalled the fleeting moment that she thought something was not quite right when she glimpsed Vice Admiral McCormick at the graduation party. It was still weighing on her mind but she did not know why
:: Sir, may we speak privately ? There are things about the incident I do not understand but I have...concerns.... ::

Just as the ready room door was about to close behind T`Caph and Admiral Elron, a crewman called to them, " Lieutenant, Admiral, please excuse the interuption but you are needed in sickbay Lt T`Caph - there is a problem with the advanced bio-bed.
Admiral Elron looked somewhat impatient as he told T`Caph to get going. She looked straight at him and thought she saw the same expression in his eyes as she had noticed in Admiral McCormick at the graduation function. Instantly, Elrons expression changed - did the Vulcan know something ? No, he thought, she could`nt know anything, but Elron knew he must give no cause for suspicion. It was vital to behave as normally as possible. Forcing a smile he said " Lieutenant, don`t rush back, I`m sure whatever it is you wanted to talk about can wait until morning. See to the bio-bed then consider yourself off duty. You can`t have even had the time to find your quarters since you arrived "
T`Caph : It is no problem Sir, I will come back...
Elron :: cutting in :: I wont hear of it. You have your instructions Lieutenant, dismissed !
T`Caph :: pausing momentarilly :: Very well Sir, as you wish
She left the Admiral and made her way to sickbay to deal with the bio-bed, but all the way there she had the niggling thought in the back of her mind telling her " something " was not as it should be. However, she had nothing logical to go on, and no actual basis for these thoughts. She put it out of her mind and repaired the fault on the bio-bed. When that was done she realised it was nearly time to go to ten forward to meet the Engineering personnel as agreed.
She quickly found her quarters and looked around them. There was a transmission waiting for her - from Peter perhaps ? No, it was from Luke. It was typically thoughtful of him to want to send a message to greet her on arrival at her new post - responding to him would be her first task when she returned to her quarters later on.
The rooms were functional, if somewhat cluttered, as she had not put her things away yet. She would do it when she got back from ten forward. Except for one item that is - she retrieved Peter`s holostatue and placed it precisely in the centre of the large circular table in the main room of her suite.
A few minutes later, she was at the entrance of ten forward, ready to meet her new colleagues.

As Elron entered his quarters, he immediately ordered the computer to lower the lighting level. As he walked over to his large desk, he paused momentarily to look in the mirror. He smiled to himself. "How interesting..."
Lt T'Caph didn't know how close she had come to her doom, but she wasn't a cause for concern yet. He decided it would be best to keep an eye on her to make sure she wasn't spreading any of her concerns amongst the crew. What was it about the Academy she was going to talk to him about?
The Admiral was infamous for avoiding Sickbay if he could help it, so avoiding the probing minds of the doctors shouldn't be difficult. Avari are naturally extremely pale anyway, so the only significant outward change was the dramatic decrease in his body's temperature. Avari were also an extremely warm-blooded species, so he would have to avoid anyone noticing that little change...
OFF: For those of you confused by the introduction of this little plot twist, it shouldn't affect our current mission much. It's something that started at the Academy and has been introduced here by Sonak, but to be perfectly honest I'm not sure where it's supposed to head. Just work around it for now and continue with your mission (you can, of course, include observations of your own if you wish). This will mainly involve T'Caph

T`Caph entered ten forward and was immediately spotted by the engineering staff who had been awaiting her arrival. She walked over to them and an Ensign politely pulled out a chair for her. She made herself comfortable but no one seemed to want to speak first. Finally the silence was broken by a steward asking if he could get her a drink.
T`Caph : Vulcan tea please
Steward : Of course, anything for anyone else ?
Crewman Davies : I`ll have the same - I have never tried it before !
The steward went for the drinks and T`Caph looked at Davies saying :: I hope it is to your liking ::
Davies : I`m sure it will be fine Lt. Let me introduce you to everyone
T`Caph : Please do
Once T`Caph knew who everyone was, she politely asked them to tell her about themselves, especially their off duty interests. During her time at the Academy she had found this a better way to get to know her crewmates than just talk of their on-duty tasks. Davies was the most outgoing and confident of himself so far, but not brash or arrogant. Ensign Sarwan was a little nervous talking about herself, so T`Caph made a mental note to help her relax a little if she could. She had looked at all their records before boarding, when she was going over the ships schematics. They all knew their jobs well, none had reprimands, and they were clearly a good team, so she did not anticipate having any difficulties with them at all.
Finally, after a good two hours of pleasant interaction, she decided it was time to get back to her quarters. She had the transmission to Luke to get done, plus her things to stow, and her first official shift meant being ready at 05.30 hrs.
T`Caph : I will take my leave of you. This has been a most pleasant welcome and I look forward to serving with you all.
As she left, the staff talked amongst themselves. They appreciated that their new CEO had made a point of not discussing any work related matters, and seemed genuinely interested in each of them as people, not just as crew. She had their respect and they would do their utmost to be worthy of hers in return.
A few minutes later, T`Caph entered her quarters and sat at her monitor, ready to compose her response to Luke.

==/\== USS SAREK Bridge ==/\==
Captain Thelev was going over the latest Departments duty reports as well as a report of the security team training. Captain Thelev then headed for the Bridge Cmdr Quincy was standing at the Operations station as the Bridge doors slid apart Cmdr McCord look up And see the Captain walking on the bridge Cmdr McCord yell out Captain on the Bridge ‘ Captain Thelev “ as you where “ He found Ens Miguel Sanchez and Ens Maxwell Garcia Freeman working frantically at their stations. Captain Thelev moved around and took his seat punching in his command codes by his side and acknowledging the relieved looks upon their face to seeing the Captain on the bridge.
"What is happening Cmdr Captain Thelev McCord?" The Captain demanded. Cmdr McCord looked around, "Sir, we have detected shock waves that have caused seismic disturbances throughout this Sector
Captain Thelev stood, "We have two active Science stations on the Sarek !" He turned to the duty science officer, "Tell them to look into where that Shock wave originally Came from and notify all ships in the taskforce !"
Captain Thelev , "Go to a general yellow alert, Authorization Thelev-Alpha-2-7. Alert medical and advise them to be prepared to take in Possible casualties, also they will need to be prepared to activate their mobile Medical rescue services!"
Ens Maxwell Garcia Freeman, " I have received word that two fighters have gone missing in that area Sir!"
Captain Thelev , " Signal them and warn them of the imminent danger in that area, they will have to be quick! Ens Maxwell Garcia Freeman, "Very good Sir, also we have lost contact with a Federation small farming community 550 !"
Captain Thelev nodded, "
Ens Miguel Sanchez, " Sir we have minimal damage in the habitat area; the structural integrity field managed to save us from the majority of the energy force."
Thelev turned to the engineering officer at his console, " I want a full damage report from Ens Alexander Gonzalez on the status of our systems!"
Captain Thelev nodded and tugged down on his tunic to straighten it, " what's the status of these damned Freighter?"
Ens Miguel Sanchez, "Sir, readings are detecting that one of them lost orbital integrity for five minutes, they managed to regain control and return to their normal trajectory!"
Captain Thelev turned and looked at the data scrolling in the display just ahead of him. "Send a message to the Flag Ship . And inform them of what we are doing and that we will return to the taskforce once we have Done so“ Contact the freighter captain and let him know We need him to move those freighters to a safe orbit around the second moon. Then will have our chief engineer take a close look at those Freighters !" Thelev said this with some doubt in his mind as to the true intentions of these Freighters Cargo. " I want a couple of security officers with him to have a sniff around them too! If those Freighters had drifted 51000 more kilometers closer to the planet they would have been destroyed !"
Thelev turned to Ens Miguel Sanchez, " I Have heard nothing from Fleet for the pass Hour, what's going on? I want you to get over there and contact Lt Katrina, I also want a diagnostic run on the communications systems, level 10!"
He spun to the science officer, "Report!" He demanded!
Ensign Luna turned with a calming Vulcan look, " Sir we have Seismic Data telemetry coming in from all our monitoring stations suggesting Richter scale tremors of magnitude 7 to 8 in several regions of the planet. It was a delayed response to the sudden closing of the spatial rifts!"
Captain Thelev , "Do we have any forecasts on what to expect if this Spatial rifts closes?"
Ensign Lone, "We will be compiling the data from this series of tremors and trying to make an estimate but we can assume a much larger reaction!"
As if on cue Ens Maxwell Garcia Freeman, "Sir, the shock waves have disrupted our communications with the away team, I am working on re-establishing the link!"
Captain Thelev re-took his seat and wondered to himself if anything else could go wrong? He had not noticed this until today but there was a lack of communication traffic with Lt Katrina lately? == End ==

T`Caph sent a transmission to her friend Luke who was now aboard the ship he was assigned to. She thought of the mission she and her comrades had been on together and knew it had forged a deep friendship amongst them. She was a little surprised however, that she had still not heard from Peter. Her Vulcan logic persuaded her that he would be busy aboard his ship also, and he would contact her when he was able.
She switched off her monitor screen and looked at the boxes and bags containing her belongings. :: They will not put themselves away of course. :: she thought to herself.
Surprised, she spoke aloud to herself : That is not something I would have said before I attended the Academy ! Fascinating !
She could imagine the faces of her friends, especially Kevin and Dimitrij, if they had been there to hear her !
She set to work, methodically placing her things in the appropriate places in her quarters, then had the lights dimmed. Finally she got in to her bed and meditated for half an hour before falling asleep.
The next thing she knew, she was being alerted just three hours later, that she had to get up and prepare for her first official duty in Engineering.
She got some tea from the replicator and allowed it to cool while she dressed. A final look in the mirror to ensure her uniform was pristine, a few sips of her tea, then she was ready. She left her quarters and made her way to the nearby turbolift to go straight to Engineering.

It looked so fresh, so tender, so soft...
"Admiral? Is something the matter?" asked the young Ensign before Elron. Quickly he brought himself back to his senses. "No, no, Ensign. I'm sorry, I was miles away for a moment there. You were asking about a Leave Of Absence? Normally your request should go to the First Officer Cmdr Gauthier, but I'll review your request just this once." The Ensign handed him a padd, thanked him and excused herself.
How stupid he had been. He must be more careful not to get caught like that. It was just that he hadn't fed for a long time and her neck seemed the perfect snack. Unfortunately he didn't really have time for that now. He was on his way to the bridge to issue orders to the rest of the task force. The Black Tulip had arrived at the appointed coordinates on the edge of Romulan space and was actively scanning for signs of any Borg or Pirate activity. The area seemed quiet so far, but he had yet to hear from the other ships. In particular, he wondered how things were progressing with the USS Sarek's away team...
-----------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, down in the CMO's office in Sickbay, Holli noticed that two new subspace messages had arrived. One was informing the department of the imminent arrival of a new CMO, the other was from Starfleet Medical. She turned her attention to the first for now. She skimmed the page with her holographic eyes until she came to the name of the new Doctor - John Storey! He had apparently returned to Starfleet and been reassigned to the Black Tulip! "Well at least he'll know his way around the Sickbay," she smiled to herself. Happy about the news, she turned her attention to the second message. All the Medical staff of the Fleet had been ordered to assist in the creation of an antidote. Apparently strange behaviour had been noted in some of the senior officers throughout the fleets and it had been traced to a serious blood infection that affected the victim physically and psychologically. No full details were immediately forthcoming from Starfleet Medical, other than a copy of the progress made so far. Holli got the impression they were deliberately keeping information from her, but filed the orders as usual.

In a nut shell, the crew is split onto several ships and heading to the Romulan border. We have reports that the Romulan have taken Borg tech and are about to use it in some fashion. I might suggest reading thru the "New Beginnings" posts as they are really the only ones dealing with the mission..
PS Welcome to (back to) the ship.

John had been reassigned from the Black Tulip approcimately three months ago to be trained in Xeno Biology, Micro Bilogy and Humanoid Biology in a more advanced level. He finished the course with flying colours and had been reassigned once more.....Back to the Black Tulip! John had been sitting on that infernal shuttle craft for approximately 18 hours. To be perfectly honest, his bum was getting a bit numb. "With all this technology, why can't Starfleet invent some decent chairs?!" he mumbled to himself. As soon as he had finished his grumbling, the Pilot, Lieutenant Stone, spoke up, "We are approaching the USS Black Tulip." "Thank you" *about time* John said in his head. The pilot tapped the console in front of him, and a middle aged man with what could only be described as mousy blonde hair appeared on the screen. "Request permission to dock sir." [Permission Granted, proceed to shuttle bay 2] "Aye, Aye," the pilot ended the transmission. John peered out of the window and looked at the magnificence of the ship he once served on and as he looked in front of him, a gaping black void slowly opened in front of him. "Hold on, this can get a bit bumpy." John sat down in his original seat, and waited patiently until the shuttle came to a rest. The shuttle stopped with a sudden bump, and John was startled by it, "Can I get off now?" he questioned, "Eighteen hours is quite enough for me!" The pilot smiled "Sure." John opened the door, and he fell out onto the shuttle bay floor. "Watch the step," came the pilot's voice from inside the shuttle, "You could have flipping warned me about it," he mumbled as he proceeded out of the shuttle bay. John looed around "Its good to be back, I think I should go and see Admiral Elron, Computer locate Admiral Elron" [The Admiral is in his ready room] "Understood" John walked into the turbolift and proceeded to Deck 1....The bridge. John walked out and he saw each of the crew looking at him, although he didn't recognise anyone he was sure everyone recognised him. He walked to the ready room and was intercepted by Commander Gauthier "Welcome abaord Ensign" "Thank you sir" and John nooded, with that he pressed the doorbell on the ready room door and waited "Come" John walked in, and placed his bags on the floor "Doctor John Sotrey, reporting for duty sir!" OFF: Its been a long time but i am back

==/\== Computer Begin log ==/\==
Scene: Sarek Officers Mass
Commander McCord Sitting at a Table in the officers mess as he slowly was wading through the reams of information on the console before him when Ensign Mellor entered the room. Quincy looked up, “ Well?” The ensign shrugged, “ No sign of the Lt Faith, I have looked everywhere! We are having difficulties tracking officers to their COM badges at the moment and Communications is being disrupted” Cmdr McCord “ make sure they have that repaired by the time we reach the Romulain Border
Quincy sat back beginning to worry, it was quiet possible that Audrey had got herself into trouble somewhere amongst the chaos, but she was just one of the many officers that were difficult to locate at this time. With the standing down of Lt Vod from the Chief Science officer role it did pose as a problem to Quincy at this time as they tried to co-ordinate the science team to provide them with significant Mission information.
Quincy nodded slightly but his irritation had not dwindled, “ We seem also to have a lack of communications flow with Fleet operations,
He took one more look over the current conditions and could see that the Mission so far was a little Behind schedule But I’m sure the Admiral will make up that time someway Lt,Kroger Carry on
Commander McCord nodded Lt, Kroger Carry on and left the room. On the way out he put his head into ship Chief operations officer office to make sure all of the departments where Running up to speed before talking to the Captain on his way to the Bridge he briefly stopping to watch as Beverly drifted amongst the various stations. She seemed in perfect command officer and seeing her in the SF red was somewhat strange but comforting. Eventually Beverly noticed him watching, it was then that Cmdr McCord told her he was headed to the Main Bridge.
Scene: Main Bridge USS SAREK .
Commander McCord entered the Main Bridge with relief. The security checks were laborious but he knew necessary. once the Sarek was in a Combat situation.

[ OFF Hope the NPC`s are ok as I dont have anyone else to talk to at the mo, lol ]
[ ON ]
T`Caph entered Engineering and was greeted by smiles from the staff. She nodded her acknowledgement and went to her office. There, neatly stacked, were several PADDs for her to look through. She sat at her desk and began checking the details of all recent repairs and upgrades. Everything seemed in order. Glancing through the glass screen, she saw that everyone was concentrating on their tasks, and while there was friendly banter, it was not detracting from anyones tasks. Only one seemed apart from the rest - Ensign Sarwan. She was the one T`Caph had noted seemed a little nervous, or shy perhaps, in Ten Forward.
After checking the last of the PADD`s, she decided it was time to have the staff in one at a time, to go over their duties, as the previous nights ` get together ` was purely informal.
T`Caph : Ensign Sarwan, if you have a moment ?
The Ensign jumped slightly and dropped the tool she was using. Another crewman immediately picked it up for her and gave her a comforting smile as she thanked him and made her way to the office.
Sarwan : Um, have I, um, done something wrong Lieutenant ? T`Caph : Not at all Ensign. Please, sit.
Sarwan took a seat and fiddled nervously with her fingernails while T`Caph looked up Sarwans details on her monitor.
T`Caph : You have an exemplary record Ensign. You attained excellent grades since you began training....
Sarwan : Oh, um, thank you :: blushes bright red ::
T`Caph : I have noticed however, you seem rather nervous when talking to people ?
Sarwan : I..er...well, yes, a little.
T`Caph : There is no need. You seem well liked by the rest of the staff and your work is of good standard. How do you spend your off duty time ?
Sarwan : I use the holosuite a lot, working on engine designs and theories.
T`Caph : Most commendable, however, you will not feel at ease with your crewmates by avoiding them. I wish you to undertake a task if you are willing - it is not an order.... I would like for you to come up with a social diary, to organise an Engineering staff " social event " once a week. I would wish to see your ideas for approval of course but once approved, you would be responsible for all aspects of it, for which you can delegate if needs be to assist you in the task.
Sarwan : Oh...um...well, if you think I can do it ? I have never done anything like that before ?
T`Caph : Precisely.
Sarwan : I will do my best Lieutenant !
T`Caph : Very well. Please send in Ensign Parker. Dismissed.
As Sarwan left the office, T`Caph was pleased with the result of the talk they had just had. She had learned the importance of a crew mixing together when off duty, to improve their cameraderie, and this seemed an ideal way to encourage the shy Ensign to develop socially.
Moments later, the next Ensign entered her office, then one by one, all the rest of the staff. Finally, she decided to inspect Engineering itself, looking unobtrusively at the consoles and listening to the rhythmic hum of the engines themselves.
Crewman Davies approached T`Caph, saying :: Lieutenant, can I get you some tea ? ::
T`caph, not realising how deeply she had been listening to the engine sounds, turned to him and replied :: No, no thank you. I am going to the Bridge now. If any problems arise, please contact me there.
Davies : Aye Lieutenant
Just a few minutes later, she was on the Bridge, and heading for Admiral Elrons office, unaware that he was with the new CMO.
T`Caph :: via the comms on his ready room door :: Sir, Lt T`Caph here. I have my report on the current activity in Engineering for you
She patiently awaited a response.....
[ OFF dont know Elrons intentions re the Doc so just send me away if innapropriate for me to interupt ! ]

"Ahhh Welcome back Doctor, I trust Starfleet Academy was how you remembered it?" "Yes sir, and thanks its good to be back, any medical information that i need to know?" "Well i am sure Holi will brief you once you get to sickbay" "Aye sir, thank you again for having me back" John said and smiled as he left the ready room.
John went into the turbolift and went to Deck 3, the senior officers quarters and went to room 315, and as he approached the door opened and he walked in. His quarters where exactly how he left them, he walked around a bit and picked up items that had fallen (probably due to battles and other knockings the Tulip had whilst he was away). After seeing that everything was all right in his quarters he proceeded to his Sickbay, he walked in and he saw Holi sitting at the desk, he walked over to her "Anything interesting Holi?" he asked. "John! I am so glad that you're back, how was Starfleet Academy?" "To be honest, it was boring" at that remark he smiled and so did Holi "Well you'll be pleased to know during your stay at Starfleet Academy, I looked after this ship's crew as you would!" "Good, now whats happened here?" Holi went through everything that had happened and she finally reached the letter recieved from Docotr Rekus on the Vesuvius-A, to all CMO's today. "This came today" she said with a sorrowful voice.
John looked and it said:
To: All CMO's From: Jatan Reckus, CMO USS Vesuvius-A
Topic: strange illness spreading
A strange disease is spreading through the fleet. So far the Vesuvius has discovered three infected crewmembers, among which the commanding officer. I have been in contact with the CMO of the Tiger Shark, who has currently brought aboard a victim of this disease from his own vessel. The victim claims she has been bitten by our commanding officer. We are working on a cure.
If you have anyone aboard your ship displaying the following symptoms, please contact us. If you are working on a cure, we have discovered Ms Laika, the TS science officer, is rejecting the virus. We are attempting to devise a cure.
Symptoms are the following: erratic sleeping pattern, hunger for blood, overgrown fangs, sensitivity to bright light.
If you have any other symptoms that may help us track the victims down, please let us know. Please advise security to stay alert. The victims are able to break a level 10 containment field, and thus cannot be held in such a field. We recommend sedating the victims. Under no circumstance hurt them, as your friends may be among the victims.
"Holi, thank you, I am sorry but i need to deactivate you" "Ok Doc, see ya later!" "Computer Deactivate EMH"
Holi disappeared and John thought long and hard, he said a loud "I need to speak to Lieutenant Seleya immediatly" he tapped his com badge =/\="Storey to Seleya"=/\= =/\=Go ahead doctor=/\= =/\="Please come to sickbay imeediatly"=/\= =/\=Aye, on my way, Seleya Out=/\=
This was one of the worst first days he had ever had!

During the time waiting for her to arrive, John downloaded the message from Doctor Reckus on the Vesuvius onto a PADD. He went to the Replicator "Tea, Hot" He heard the buzz as the replicator kicked in and the tea formed in front of him. He picked it up and drank a small sip. Seleya walked in whilst John was enjoying a nice hot cup of tea.
"Good Timing Commander" John handed her the PADD "read this" as she was reading it, the console in the infirmary bleeped, John walked over to it "Its another message" he said.
John tapped the screen, and he read.
URGENT!
ATTN: CMO's in the Fleet FROM: Doctor Reckus and Doctor Buster Subject: Infection
The USS Vesuvius has recieve the first infection of this virus, Commodore Sonak. We have reason to believe that Admiral Elron is also infected, Doctor Storey we recommend immediate lockdown and containment in his ready room and security personnel outside his ready room.
This is Top Priorty!
"Seleya, get to the admiral's ready room with a security details, he is not to leave his ready room at all costs. Set your phasers to stun, I am coming with you because I need a blood sample" "Aye doc"
Seleya walked out, and John got his hypospray.
John walked into the turbolift and got off on Deck 1, the bridge, Seleya and a security detail where waiting there for him.
John walked into the ready room "Doctor Storey?! Seleya?! what are you doing here?" John spoke up "Admiral Elron, Under Starfleet Medical Protocol, Section 11 Subseciton Delta, you are hereby confined to this ready room, and are no longer fit to command this vessel until further notice. Commander Gauthier is now in command" John walked out and saw that the whole bridge crew was looking at him, "Commander Gauthier please come to sickbay and I will tell you why I have confined the admiral to his ready room"
Commander Gauthier followed him down to sickbay where John informed him of the recent goings on in the fleet.

T`Caph waited for Elron to respond when an officer quietly stepped up beside her saying, :: Lieutenant, I`m sorry but the Admiral has the new CMO in with him. He went in just before you arrived ::
T`Caph : I was not aware. Thank you. I will take my station on the Bridge until he is available.
T`Caph went to the Engineering console and let her department know she was there in case they needed to relay anything to her, not that she expected anything as all was running smoothly down there at present.
Moments later, the CMO came out of Elrons ready room. Perhaps now she would finally get the briefing done with Elron. She was just about to go to see him when he looked over to her and grumpily told her to wait until called as he some work to deal with first.
T`Caph :: pausing for a moment :: Aye Sir, of course
She need not have bothered answering as his door had already closed behind him. T`Caph wondered if he was always like that. She glanced at the other bridge personel and from their faces it seemed he was *not* usually like that. How strange she thought to herself.......
She was concentrating at the console when she noticed security personel at the turbolift along with Seleya and the CMO, John Storey. John walked into the ready room.
The Vulcan could not make out what they were saying but Gauthier`s expression was certainly grim. Moments later, the Doc came out of the ready room and said something quietly to the XO. The crew watched, open-mouthed, as the Doc and Gauthier quickly left the Bridge in the turbolift.

Elron paced the floor as he eagerly awaited the arrival of his new CMO. He knew he'd arrived, but rather than go down to the shuttlebay to greet him it would be much more advantageous to have him arrive here. Suddenly the door chimed.
"Come!" Elron responded, quickly sitting down.
John walked in and placed his bags on the floor. "Doctor John Storey, reporting for duty sir!"
"Ahhh, welcome back Doctor. I trust Starfleet Academy was how you remembered it?" "Yes sir, and thanks. Its good to be back! Any medical information that I need to know?"
Elron eyed the doctor up and down for a moment, trying to see if there was a hidden meaning in his words. How much did he know? How big a threat was he? "Well, I am sure Holi will brief you once you get to sickbay." The Admiral rose and was about make his move towards John, preparing the mental hypnotism that would render his victim helpless... when suddenly the door chimed again. Elron cursed the interuption.
"Aye sir, thank you again for having me back" John said and smiled as he left the ready room.
Elron peered out the door to see who it was that had interrupted him and caught sight of T'Caph. 'Curse her' he thought to himself. After telling her to wait until he was next available, he considered what his next move must be. The majority of his senior staff were blissfully unaware of any strange goings on aboard the Black Tulip, distibuted as they were among other vessels. The only officer he had to worry about were T'Caph and John, and they were too new to notice anything right away. Perhaps it would be wiser to bide his time a little longer.
Less than an hour later, John Storey walked back into the ready room without even bothering to knock. "Doctor Storey?! Seleya?! What are you doing here?" Elron asked, quite annoyed.
John spoke up. "Admiral Elron, under Starfleet Medical Protocol, Section 11 Subsection Delta, you are hereby confined to this ready room and are no longer fit to command this vessel until further notice. Commander Gauthier is now in command" John walked out and Elron was left stunned. He ran towards the door but it had already shut and would not open for him. Furiously he paced the floor. He began to feel like a trapped animal. How had they discovered him so quickly and so suddenly. There had been no hint of this earlier!
"Computer, initiate site-to-site transport Elron-Gamma-Five." "All transporter functions have been deactivated in this room," came the matter-of-fact response.
Elron slammed his fist down on the desk, which buckled under the force and collapsed. Elron looked at the wreckage and suddenly the solution dawned on him. He walked towards the exit and placed his fingers firmly in the crack in the door. With an all-mighty heave he forced the doors apart and was met by a level-10 containment field. Unphased, he proceeded to place his hands on this and found that if he concentrated he could break through the force field. By this time the security officers already had their phasers drawn, but Elron struck one squarely in the jaw and stared the other dead in the eye. The officer froze and found himself unable to push the trigger.
Before anyone else could stop him, the Admiral had forced open a Jeffries tube hatch and was making his way through the ship. "They can't relieve me!" he laughed to himself. "I'm the Fleet Commander! I'm a Vice Admiral!"
