02:34:27: <LtBrieJayde> ::AA::
02:34:45: <Capt_Crow> AA
02:34:46: <CdrEdraCrow> a-hem
02:35:40: <CdrEdraCrow> oookay
02:35:43: <Melanick> AA
02:36:23: <CdrEdraCrow> Tonight we're going to be starting in the Conference Room to get our briefing
02:36:35: <CdrEdraCrow> any questions?
02:36:41: <LtBrieJayde> Nada

02:36:48: <Capt_Crow> nope
02:37:05: <CdrEdraCrow> ==BEGIN==
02:37:53: <Melanick> ::sitting in the conference room chair, twisting her hair::
02:38:03: <LtBrieJayde> ::Sitting in her normal spot in the conference room, yawning a bit::
02:38:03: <CdrEdraCrow> ::already sitting in her normal seat, cup of coffee in her hands::
02:38:30: <Melanick> ::toying with the PADD in her hands::
02:38:35: <Capt_Crow> ::Enters, taking his seat::
02:40:14: <Melanick> ::waiting for it::
02:41:31: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> :sipping coffee rubbing his shoulder that he tweeked during morning workouts ::
02:42:07: <Capt_Crow> Our business today concerns Station Amhearst-Zeta.
02:42:46: <Capt_Crow> It's a medical research, nothing classified or shady...for once.
02:42:57: <CdrEdraCrow> We've come a long way out to get here.
02:43:08: <LtBrieJayde> ::Raises an eyebrow at the nothing classified part::
02:43:23: <Capt_Crow> The problem is they haven't been answering calls for a week including ours.
02:43:42: <Melanick> Well that would be a reason for concern.
02:43:49: <CdrEdraCrow> ::sighs, not liking the sound of that::
02:44:10: <Capt_Crow> So, Melanick....Jayde....Malaan..and myself will be heading down to check things out.
02:44:31: <Melanick> ::perk:: Beats sitting here!
02:44:45: <LtBrieJayde> ::Glances between Edra and Captain:: Sir..shouldn’t you be staying on board?
02:44:45: <CdrEdraCrow> ::looks up:: Wait, what?
02:45:00: <Melanick> ::cant wait for this one::
02:45:37: <Melanick> ::sitting back to watch the drama unfold::
02:46:03: <Capt_Crow> I know regulations and all that but Captain's prerogative. I want to stretch my legs a little so you'll have the Bridge. ::looking to Edra::
02:46:20: <LtBrieJayde> ::Sits back and shakes her head, not getting into that argument::
02:46:54: <CdrEdraCrow> ::opens her mouth to protest, but stops. He hadn't gotten off ship in a while. So she simply nodded instead.:: Aye, sir.
02:47:26: <Capt_Crow> Okay so Transporter room three, in five minutes. Dismissed.
02:47:49: <LtBrieJayde> ::Pushes back from the table and heads for the transporter room, grabbing her normal weapons just in case::
02:48:05: <Melanick> ::jumps out of the chair, finally something fun besides paperwork, off to the TL::
02:48:54: <Melanick> ::locked and loaded, tricorder, other stuff:: Check, check and check :: under her breath
02:49:01: <CdrEdraCrow> :: stands up, looking at him.:: Just be careful. I have no plans to take command of this ship. ::she gave him a grin::
02:49:06: <Melanick> :: walks into TL 3::
02:49:28: <LtBrieJayde> ::Steps into the transporter room and waits against one of the walls::
02:49:39: <Capt_Crow> ::stands:: I will be, of course. It'll be nice to get some air.
02:50:01: <Capt_Crow> Keep the ship at yellow though, just incase.
02:50:07: <CdrEdraCrow> ::nods:: have fun.
02:51:30: <Capt_Crow> ::Heads down to TR3, walking right up to the transporter pad.:: Where's Malaan?
02:52:05: <Melanick> ::into the Transporter room::
02:53:50: <CdrEdraCrow> ::exits the conference room with her coffee and proceeds to the Bridge, where she takes the center seat.:: Alright, folks, we're going to yellow alert until we know more about what they're going to find over there. I want lock's maintained on the entire away team at all times. got it?
02:54:06: <LtBrieJayde> ((I think he’s not paying attention...))
02:54:16: <CdrEdraCrow> +Transporter room+ Ready when you are.
02:54:53: <Capt_Crow> Energize.
02:55:06: <transporter> Energizing...
02:55:30: <Melanick> ::simmer::
02:56:18: <CdrEdraCrow> 4ACTION: THE AWAY TEAM DISAPPEARS FROM THE TRANSPORTER ROOM AND FADES ONTO THE BRIDGE OF THE STATION
02:56:35: <LtBrieJayde> ::Glances around as they appear on the bridge of the station::
02:56:42: <Capt_Crow> ::When they materialized he looked around, ready for trouble but he didn't find anything at all:: No SOS, no known problems...and no crew.
02:56:56: <Melanick> :: Looks around, heads to the nearest console panel::
02:57:03: <LtBrieJayde> ::Realizes he was right about no crew and pulls out her tricorder::
02:57:30: <Melanick> ::taps away looking for lifesigns::
02:57:47: <Capt_Crow> Test their system and send a message to the ship. Maybe they're radio silent without meaning to be so.
02:57:56: <CdrEdraCrow> 4ACTION: AS THEY LOOK AROUND, LIGHTS ARE STILL ON, THOUGH SOME ARE BLINKING, BUT OTHERWISE NOTHING LOOKS OUT OF PLACE
02:58:04: <Melanick> Sending message
02:58:11: <CdrEdraCrow> 4ACTION: NO LIFE SIGNS ARE FOUND
02:58:25: <Melanick> Henry, no life signs aboard.
02:58:34: <LtBrieJayde> ::Goes over to another console to see if everything looks good:: It all looks okay, but, besides us, no life signs. ::Looks to Melanick who beat her to it::
02:58:54: <Melanick> Hey its what I do! ::grin::
02:59:06: <Capt_Crow> They wouldn't be outside, the atmosphere isn't exactly welcoming.
02:59:20: <CdrEdraCrow> Ops> Sir, we're getting a message from the station...they're there, nothing to report yet.
02:59:29: <CdrEdraCrow> ::nods::
02:59:47: <LtBrieJayde> So, where the hell would they have gone?
02:59:59: <Capt_Crow> Let's go take a look. Maybe they're being shielded somehow.
03:00:08: <Melanick> Are there any underground bunkers?
03:00:17: <LtBrieJayde> ::Nods and looks to see the best place to start::
03:00:42: <Capt_Crow> Not to my knowledge.
03:00:51: <Melanick> :;pulls out her phaser, just in case::
03:01:03: <CdrEdraCrow> 4THE STATION IS CIRCULAR IN FORMATION, SO EITHER WAY IS ABOUT THE SAME.
03:01:16: <Capt_Crow> Maintain the link to the Merc and download their computer core. Maybe there's a clue in their sensors and what not.
03:01:34: <Melanick> Core Download commencing.
03:01:46: <LtBrieJayde> ::Shrugs and starts to head one way:: Hopefully something comes up, and not something scary. I’m a bit sick of the scary.
03:01:53: <Melanick> That should take about 30 min.
03:02:28: <Melanick> ::follows behind the others::
03:02:38: <ops> the station core's is downloading.
03:03:09: <CdrEdraCrow> Make sure it loads into a directory that can be scanned for malware first
03:03:17: <ops> Aye, Sir.
03:03:22: <Capt_Crow> :::looking around:: It's cliche to say this is too quiet.
03:03:36: <LtBrieJayde> When has that ever stopped you from saying it?
03:04:05: <Melanick> It goes with the territory on the Merc though.
03:04:10: <CdrEdraCrow> 4MOST THINGS LOOK TO BE LEFT IN PLACE, BUT SOME ROOMS AND CORRIDORS ARE COMPLETELY TRASHED
03:04:12: <Melanick> Nothing is ever normal
03:04:29: <Melanick> Good god what happened here?
03:04:32: <LtBrieJayde> ::Looks in a few doors:: Either a party or something bad happened here..
03:04:43: <Melanick> ::pointing to the trashed room::
03:04:51: <CdrEdraCrow> 4ACTION: IN A REPLICATOR, FOOD LOOKS TO BE READY TO PICK UP, EXCEPT FOR BEING COLD
03:05:09: <LtBrieJayde> ::Walks to the replicator:: Cold food..
03:05:15: <Capt_Crow> Who leaves food just sitting here...not to mention its not spoiled.
03:05:25: <Melanick> Anyone for Veal Parmesan? ::smiling::
03:05:28: <Capt_Crow> Whatever this is, it didn't happen more than what? A day or two ago.
03:05:40: <LtBrieJayde> ::Pokes at it:: Bit stale.
03:06:08: <Melanick> ::kicks the mess around with her foot, looking for anything::
03:06:37: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> (( Sorry guys was on phone to mother she is having computer problems ))
03:06:46: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> (( but I am back now ))
03:06:47: <Melanick> It looks like the day after a Fraternity party.
03:06:48: <LtBrieJayde> ((Ah okay!))
03:06:55: <Capt_Crow> ::Absently looking through some of the garbage:::
03:07:08: <CdrEdraCrow> 4ACTION: THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ORDER TO THE MESS, BUT UNDER SOMETHING THAT MELANICK KICKED IS A BLOOD STAIN ON THE FLOOR
03:07:13: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> (( and now have no clue whats going on ))
03:07:21: <LtBrieJayde> ::Looks at the floor:: Okay, that doesn’t look good.
03:07:22: <Melanick> Well look at this?
03:07:28: <CdrEdraCrow> 4<<if you were in TS we could tell you>>
03:07:33: <Melanick> :: tricorder out and logging::
03:07:35: <LtBrieJayde> ((Was about to say that!))
03:07:39: <CdrEdraCrow> 4;)
03:08:03: <Melanick> Looks like blood, lets see what kind.
03:08:11: <CdrEdraCrow> 4<<AT is on a station with no lifesigns. some parts are untouched, some are trashed...go>>
03:08:58: <LtBrieJayde> ::Kneels down next to the stain, looking at the things around where it had been::
03:09:03: <Capt_Crow> :::That brought up some concern.:: Keep your eyes peeled.
03:09:56: <Melanick> Its human, fresh only a few hours old.
03:10:13: <LtBrieJayde> ::Hops back up and scans for more blood around them:: Wait, human? So much for the not scary part.
03:11:00: <Melanick> ::looking for a trail::
03:11:01: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> Any trace patterns to show if there has been any traffic through this station lately?
03:11:36: <Capt_Crow> We may not know that until the core finishes
03:11:55: <LtBrieJayde> Guess we keep going?
03:12:06: <Capt_Crow> ::nods::
03:12:16: <Capt_Crow> Stay together, keep moving.
03:12:20: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> Ok, : follows Melanick following blood trail :
03:12:33: <LtBrieJayde> ::Heads out and looks for another trashed room::
03:13:23: <Capt_Crow> +Merc+ We have some blood stains and some trashed rooms. Continuing to investigate.
03:13:31: <CdrEdraCrow> 4ACTION: MORE BLOOD IS FOUND IN THE NEXT ROOM, THIS TIME IT'S MORE, AND SMEARED IN THE DIRECTION THEY'RE WALKING
03:13:48: <LtBrieJayde> ::Scans the blood in the next room::
03:13:51: <Melanick> Geez looks like a massacre in here
03:14:06: <LtBrieJayde> But with all the blood, where’s the bodies?
03:14:19: <Capt_Crow> I was hoping someone wouldn't ask that.
03:14:24: <Melanick> So much for the blood trail, looks like a map.
03:14:26: <CdrEdraCrow> 4+Away Team+ Copy that. Scans don't read any life signs still
03:14:34: <LtBrieJayde> ::Shrugs:: Had to at some point.
03:15:52: <Melanick> Hey yall this blood is Trill blood, no human
03:15:57: <Melanick> *not
03:16:16: <LtBrieJayde> ::Frowns:: Trill and human, I don’t want to know what we’ll find next.
03:16:42: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> ((what time of smears like bleeding body being dragged or like a dude dragging a foot that is bleeding or someone finger painting with blood?? ))
03:16:46: <Melanick> So much for easy
03:17:03: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> (( *not time kind)
03:17:25: <CdrEdraCrow> 4<<like something was dragged>>
03:17:37: <Capt_Crow> :::Hits the door release to the medical cargo hold, stops:::
03:17:50: <LtBrieJayde> ::Looks over at the captain and walks to where he is::
03:18:02: <Melanick> ::stops behind Henry almost running into him::
03:18:13: <Capt_Crow> :::holds up his hand to the ladies:: Don't.
03:18:14: <Melanick> Opps sorry Henry
03:18:25: <LtBrieJayde> Captain…
03:18:26: <Melanick> ::Stops mid sentence::
03:18:29: <LtBrieJayde> What is it?
03:18:57: <Melanick> ::looking over his shoulder::
03:18:59: <Capt_Crow> :::He hesitated, then moved aside showing them the scene::
03:19:14: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> :: continue walking to see what the Captains got ::
03:19:16: <LtBrieJayde> ::Stays where she was at but looks after he moved::
03:19:18: <Melanick> (and what to my wondering eyes should appear)
03:19:49: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> (( a miniature slay ??)
03:20:43: <CdrEdraCrow> 4<<something like this, minus the spartans...
03:20:56: <Melanick> (like what)
03:21:13: <CdrEdraCrow> 4<click on the blank space after the ...>
03:21:18: <LtBrieJayde> (Click the blank space LOL)
03:21:34: <Melanick> Holy ****!
03:21:47: <LtBrieJayde> ::Backs away:: Answers my question...
03:21:59: <Capt_Crow> ::The smell began to hit::
03:22:01: <Melanick> ::almost sits down but catches herself::
03:22:25: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> That a lot of dead people - maybe this isn't a good place to be.....
03:22:45: <LtBrieJayde> ::Covers her nose from the smell, doing her best not to get sick::
03:22:54: <Melanick> The question is who and why.
03:22:58: <Capt_Crow> :::Looks down, and before common sense says not to..picks up a bone...a rib bone....with bite marks:::
03:23:05: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> :: walks to pile trying to discern how they were killed ::
03:23:21: <Melanick> ::pulls out a container our of her bag, rubs the ointment under her nose. Hands it to them::
03:23:32: <Melanick> Rub some under your nose it helps with the smell.
03:23:58: <Melanick> Is that bite marks?
03:24:15: <Capt_Crow> ::nods::
03:24:32: <LtBrieJayde> ::Keeps herself back anyways, shaking her head at the ointment:: I think I’ll stay over here.
03:24:39: <Melanick> Like big animal bite marks?
03:24:43: <CdrEdraCrow> 4ACTION: MANY OF THE BODIES ARE MANGLED, SOME WITH BITE MARKS, SOME WITH MISSING EXTREMITIES, THAT APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN TORN OFF...ANY HEADS FOUND CONTAIN BLANK LOOKS OF HORROR
03:24:50: <Capt_Crow> People.
03:25:00: <Capt_Crow> Or people-ish.
03:25:06: <Melanick> I was afraid you were gonna say that.
03:25:14: <LtBrieJayde> I think we need to just go back to the ship most likely.
03:25:39: <Melanick> It looks like they are in different states of decay too......some of these wounds are very fresh.
03:25:51: <Melanick> Others are days old.
03:25:54: <Capt_Crow> We just missed them.
03:26:10: <Capt_Crow> They had a barbeque for a couple days looks like.
03:26:26: <Melanick> Yeah but I don't see a smoke ring.
03:26:34: <Melanick> ( did I just say that)
03:26:37: <Capt_Crow> Some like it rare.
03:26:42: <LtBrieJayde> (Yes, you did

03:26:44: <Melanick> Evidently
03:27:10: <LtBrieJayde> ::Still keeping clear of the room:: We know what happened to them..it looks like they at least tried to fight originally.
03:27:53: <Melanick> But what could have inflicted this type of damage so quickly. I didn't see any phaser fire anywhere?
03:28:11: <Capt_Crow> +Merc+ Go to red alert once we're back on the ship.
03:28:20: <CdrEdraCrow> 4ACTION: THIS APPEARS TO BE WHERE EVERYTHING IS...THE ESTIMATED NUMBER OF BODIES IS ABOUT THAT OF THE NUMBER OF HANDS ON THE STATION
03:28:26: <Melanick> Hell I would have picked up something
03:28:39: <Capt_Crow> Prepare for transport.
03:28:46: <LtBrieJayde> I don’t think sensors picked up anything on our way here, but I’ll check them again once we’re back on board.
03:28:50: <Melanick> ::preparing to shimmer::
03:29:05: <CdrEdraCrow> 4+Away Team+ Copy that
03:29:08: <Capt_Crow> We'll have the remains beamed up to be investgated, identified, and catalogued for Starfleer.
03:30:07: <Melanick> +merc+ Use a shuttle bay for the bodies
03:30:15: <CdrEdraCrow> 4ACTION: THE AWAY TEAM IS BEAMED BACK UP, APPEARING IN THE TRANSPORTER ROOM
03:30:25: <Melanick> That was different.
03:30:36: <ops> The entire away team is back aboard.
03:30:41: <LtBrieJayde> ::Takes a few deep breaths of fresh, Mercutio air and sighs:: I don’t mind dead bodies and all, but that was too much.
03:30:45: <CdrEdraCrow> 4Red Alert
03:30:46: <Capt_Crow> ::He looked at his hand, still wet from the rib he'd picked up:: Ugh.
03:31:02: <Melanick> I would suggest some hand washing
03:31:09: <Melanick> ::looking at his hand::
03:31:15: <CdrEdraCrow> 4::curious to what they found down there::
03:31:37: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> :: the wonderful smell of reprocessed air that doesn't contain the smell of death in its various states ::
03:31:56: <LtBrieJayde> ::Heads to the bridge to go back over the scans that the long range sensors did::
03:32:36: <CdrEdraCrow> 4<<final lines>>
03:32:47: <LtBrieJayde> ::Looks at Edra once she got there:: Be glad you didn’t go, it made me queasy, and that’s saying a lot.
03:32:56: <Melanick> Starts on a roster for shifts in the make shift morgue>
03:33:13: <Melanick> ::then heads to the bridge::
03:33:44: <CdrEdraCrow> 4So, you found the crew?
03:33:45: <Melanick> ::praying nothing was brought back.::
03:34:08: <LtBrieJayde> You..could say that..::Sits down at tactical and goes over a new set of scans of the area and the ones from earlier::
03:34:13: <Capt_Crow> Well....
03:34:20: <Melanick> They are in shuttle bay 4.
03:34:35: <LtBrieJayde> ::Frowns at Melanick::
03:34:52: <CdrEdraCrow> 4::closed her eyes, not liking what that meant.::
03:34:56: <Melanick> Well they are. :: eyeroll::
03:35:06: <CdrEdraCrow> 4==PAUSE SIM==
03:35:12: <Melanick> pawsed
03:35:13: <LtBrieJayde> ::Paused::
03:35:34: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> :: paused ::
03:36:10: <Capt_Crow> is it bad that I'm hungry?
03:36:16: <LtBrieJayde> ::Gasps::
03:36:18: <LtBrieJayde> YES!
03:36:24: <Melanick> BBQ!
03:36:30: <CdrEdraCrow> 4that's hilarious
03:36:39: <LtBrieJayde> Did anyone but me catch what it was referencing?
03:36:44: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> for a blood red steak?
03:37:01: <CdrEdraCrow> 4Well, that solves what happened to the station crew...we may find out more in logs and such...
03:37:16: <Melanick> enlighten me
03:37:22: <LtBrieJayde> ::Zips lips::
03:37:28: <Capt_Crow> ....
03:37:38: <LtBrieJayde> Gotta wait for Edra

03:37:44: <CdrEdraCrow> 4me?
03:37:49: <LtBrieJayde> Who will probably say at some point down the road what it was LOL
03:38:09: <Melanick> its the walking dead!
03:38:12: <CdrEdraCrow> 4We may find out
03:38:21: <CdrEdraCrow> 4in a manner of speaking...
03:38:26: <LtBrieJayde> ::Is being mean lately on sims:: Ask Edra, she can vouch for that

03:38:46: <CdrEdraCrow> 4is true...
03:38:48: <Melanick> ok guys I am out of here! have a great one!
03:38:56: <CdrEdraCrow> 4goodnight
03:39:00: <LtBrieJayde> I suppose I am too, night!
