= Bridge, USS Chimera =

Ian (NPC) finally made it to the bridge, "report Melonni (NPC)." Vaughn said as he walked over to the main operations console.

"It appears that some kind of disease is spreading across Aeran III and now the station." Livia said bringing up the reports, "but it seems they've it under control on UNITY." Livia added as she allowed Ian to read the reports.

"Alright." Ian said after finishing reading the reports they were very strange apparently the victims of this disease wires would spring from them. Ian looked up, "Ensign over here." Ian said to the Science officer.

The young Ensign looked up and tentatively walked over, "yes sir." He said trying to keep his voice level and calm.

"I know you can't leave the ship but I want you to contact medical and science and see if you can help from here." Ian said looking at the officer.

"Yes sir." He said shaking a little as he glanced down at the report that described what was happening. He then turned and headed back to his console.

"Melonni I need you to start running scans to see if we can maybe help security on UNITY track the infected." Ian said knowing that there wasn't a lot they could do after Cortez put the Chimera on lock down.

"Aye sir." Livia said moving out of the primary ops console and moving to auxiliary ops looking for any medical reports or files she needed a base reading before she could even begin working on scanning the station.

Ian then stepped into primary ops and continued going through reports there was a lot of confusion mainly from not knowing what they were dealing with down to civilian hysteria. He then started going through the Aeran III reports seeing if they had any useful information.

[Bridge - Unregistered Freighter - In Orbit of Luna]

It was a long fight up to the Bridge, but Rojac and Walters made it with little difficulty. Walters with his brutally efficient Erassian training showed little mercy as they plowed their way through the throngs of ship hands manning the vessel. Rojac showed little to none himself. These, traitors, had just attacked the heart of his organization - betraying the very oath they had taken as Starfleet Officers. They deserved justice.

They paused outside the reinforced bridge door. Walters walked up to inspect it.

Walters used a combat knife to bust open the panel where the doors control circuits were.  After fiddling with the wires for a minute he admitted defeat.  "I can't get access although admittedly breaking and entering isn't really listed on my skill set."

Rojac took a spare phaser from his belt that he pulled from a dead terrorist and played with the power settings. "This should work." He set it to overload and set it at the foot of the door. "Fire in the hole Major." He said, running back around the turn in the corridor.

Walters followed quickly and only just made it around the corner when the phaser went overload and caused a deafening explosion in the tight confines of the corridor.  "You know that's a sign of you thinking more like an Erassian, right Captain?  If you run into a problem you cant overcome simply use a bigger boom!"  Without waiting for a reply Walters turned the corner and stormed into the Bridge with Rojac just behind him.

Upon emerging through the smouldering rubble of the doorway onto the Bridge and fired a two shot burst into a reacting crewman.  Roaring in a voice that would intimidate a drill sergeant Walters yelled a quote from one of his favourite movies.  "Everybody be cool this is a robbery.  Any of you fucking pricks move and I'll execute every mother fucking last one of you!"

Rojac passed a questioning glance at the back of his XO's head. He didn't catch the reference to an antique 20th Century American film, and instead chalked it up to some bizarre form of Erassian humor.

Rojac pointed his phaser's business toward the most authoritative looking man in the center of the room. "You are all under the custody of the United Federation of Planets." Rojac declared loudly while casting menacing glares at the group of experienced faces that scowled at him. "Surrender peaceably, and you will live."

"Do you really expect the two of you can stop all of us?" The grey haired man int the red collar replied. "You are out-"

He was going to say outnumbered, but before he could finish his sentence an armed security team from the USS Beijing materialized on the small bridge in full tactical assault armor and charged phaser rifles. "EVERYONE DOWN!" The green collared Lieutenant shouted.

"Lieutenant!"  Walters called in a commanding tone.  "My name is Major Scott Walters of the Erassian Alliance currently seconded as XO to the USS Chimera-C of Starfleet Special Forces based out of Starbase 234: Unity.  The man behind me is my Commanding Officer Captain Cropa Rojac.  We are here under the orders of Major General Richard Sharpe of the SSF First Task Force Marine Expedition Force to apprehend these men who are responsible for the terrorist bombings on Earth." 

"We falsified the warp core breach signal, Lieutenant." Rojac said. "Have your ship check the database."

The security Lieutenant looked suspicious, but he tapped his combadge and called the Beijing.

 "I realise you have to take control of the situation so I'm going to lower my rifle slowly to the ground."  Walters slowly lowered his rifle to the ground keeping a a close eye on both the new assault team and the bridge crew.  Only the slightest suspicious move and he would drop into an evade and fire movement.

Luckily, or perhaps because they had armed security staring down at them through phaser rifles, no one moved.

"You check out Captain." The Lieutenant replied. "My CO has ordered me to secure the vessel and apprehend all suspects." He nodded to his subordinates who advanced toward the bridge crew and began attaching restraining devices.

"Good." Rojac said. "Then we request transport to your ship. We would like to contact San Francisco."

As of now I am on LOA.
I have asked Rojac to give me a month.
I'm sorry if it disrupts anything but the plot is almost
ended. Bren has said he will try to log a science log so
that might well bring a solution to the demins.

I think its only fair to explain my reason which has nothing
to do with RL.

I no longer have the desire to log on Unity / Chimera and
will not visit the channel.
I am also asking for LOA from ISD even though I know that
will cause problems in Mumas absence.
For various reasons that I will not go into now, I feel a
huge sense of being let down and also of being out of step
with the rest of the world.
Rojac knows the background to this and I give my permission
for him to tell anyone who wants to know with references to
convos too if he wants.

Summaries

by Ixus

This week on the Chimera...

Unity's senior staff come up with an initial plan of action for dealing with the outbreak on Aeren III and potentially for Unity too.  Cortez heads planetside and meets a civilian Doctor and one of the stationed marines when the missing medics are located.  Upon arriving at the location Cortez finds the marine patrol butchered and is attacked by an infected.  Trent brings his retained aide up to speed.  After racing back to the hospital Cortez obtains a blood sample from an infected and seizes the research files of the civilian Doctor, he returns to Unity to be greeted by a wall of marines in CBRN Gear.  Reese rescues Dior from the rubble in the bombed facility but all is not well.  Trent and Chisulo order Unity's Valkyries onto Alert and order patrols to ensure the quarantine of Aeren III with the heavy backup of the USS Magellan, USS Quasar and USS Qashqai.  Rangi visits Cortez in Quarantine and after a squabble he confides about the blood sample hidden in his confiscated clothing.  Chisulo's staff detect a possible blockade runner ship from Aeren III and an intercept is ordered.  Cortez tests negative but outbreaks are spreading on Unity,  the culprit is discovered not as a virus but as the sinister Wire Demons.  The Secretary of Defence arrives at Cheyenne mountain to be greeted by MGen. Jack O'Neill...sadly Samantha Carter is nowhere to be seen.  Dior takes a turn for the worse during treatment and almost bleeds out.  The Federation Council is in the middle of a vote on TechEx as they are evacuated under Op Tandra but continue the vote upon arrival at the evac site...the ayes look like they have it!  Reese, Kroitzer and Castillo prepare to look for a rumoured second device although Castillo requires a little gentle encouragement.  Rojac and Walters take the fight to the Transit Station Bombers as they fight their way onto the ship but reinforcements are inbound in the shape of the USS Beijing.  Sharpe gets hands on with the relief efforts on Earth jumping into an unstable location.  The Magellan and 1 of Unity's Valkyrie Squadrons are guided in on the fleeing shuttle by Chisulo and they disable it's impulse engines.  Prior to this there is a training exercise for Chimera's stay at home Ops team.  And finally Reaper Wing opens hostilities with a deadly Puppetmaster controlled strike and a switcheroo.

Quotable Quotes

by Rangi

Psychic powers?............

He was immediately greeted by Marine Captain Remington and a civilian doctor who introduced himself as Robert Beaumont.

"We've been expecting you", Remington spoke after exchanging greetings.

"Good", Cortez responded, "Then you know why I'm here", he asked.

 "Yes", Beaumont spoke up, "but I'm afraid you wont find what your looking for".

 "And what am I looking for Doctor?".

Remington shot a sideways glance at the doctor.

Actions speaking louder than words?.......

"Is that...", the young marine said stepping towards a decapitated head, "Oh shit, that's Rico...that's Rico...GAME OVER MAN...I'm getting out of here". he began to scream hysterically.

"Shut him up", Remington shouted just before Richards fist slammed into the side of the marines jaw. Before he could react, Cortez then grabbed him from behind and held his hand
over his mouth, "Calm Down", he whispered. After several long tense seconds he finally relaxed and Richard let him go and handed him back his rifle.

How to ruin a good impression...............

"I wasn't just deceptive. I flat out lied."

"Even so, I'd be lost around here without you," Trent said.

She stared at him for a moment.

"I'm ... I'm touched," and she felt it, too.

"Besides, I'd hate to go though another job search. And Starfleet would likely assign me an idiot. So ..."

She shook her head.

"Oh, yeah. I'm so touched," she said, this time with sarcasm.

"Glad to hear it."

Captain Trent Rodgers XO, 1st TF, SSF Command  XO, SB 234: UNITy and Denaria Loto (npc by Rick) 1st Task Force XO's Aide
====================================
 So the deed is done.......................

"The vote is three for and three against. Vulcan, what ..."

"I don't think this is the time for this!" Meeker said. "We have no idea what is going on out there."

"This is exactly the time for this," Turan said. "Whatever is going on out there is of no concern to us at the moment. We can't alter what is happening somewhere else. But this
vote is of utmost importance."

Meeker just leaned back in his chair.

"Vulcan, how do you vote?" Turan asked.

Everyone's attention was on the Vulcan representative.

"Vulcan votes ... Aye."

Councilman Turan So (npc by Rick) Federation Council Chairman Head of Security and Special Operations Committee
=========================
How to make friends and influence people?....................................

When this didnt work despite repeated tries, Tessa knew there was big trouble lying on the bed in front of her. "Doctor ! " she called although it was more of a yell really but it stopped the person in their tracks. " I need assistance..." she said and stepped aside as the tall slim
man joined her.

...she grabbed his uniform collar and slammed him into the console that Jones was working on.

 "Listen to me one more smart ass comment like that I'll make sure you'll never see the outside world again." Jade said pinning him on the console.

Charly fell back onto the equipment, he was caught off guard and was afraid to actually say anything. The look on her face told him she meant what she said, and as the embarrassment of allowing himself to be gotten the better of by a woman again wore off, he finally uttered, "OK", and hoped she would let him go.
