<<<Resume Mission>>>
CEO LtCmdr Adalberto: CO: Captain, this capsules is completely inert. There
is no cause for alarm.
CTO Lt Sumner:
::taps his combadge as he waits for Noran to be brought to his office:: *CO*:
Sumner to the bridge.
TAC Ens Darloch:
::continues to go through security logs to see what can be found for time
of murder::
XO Cmdr Jameson:
::Walks out of the turbolift, onto the bridge::
CMO Lt Ecchumati:
::in the morgue, taps her combadge:: *XO*: Ecchumati to Commander Jameson.
CO Cmdr Griffiths:
::raises an eyebrow slightly:: CEO: That's pleasant to know. But, we didn't
know that when it was brought onto the bridge. Please run a full analysis, I want
to know when it was put there, what it was used for and who was the last person
to touch it.
CO Cmdr Griffiths:
::taps his comm badge:: *CTO*: Go ahead, Lieutenant.
XO Cmdr Jameson:
::Pauses, before entering the command circle:: CMO: Jameson here ::Looks
around the Bridge for the Captain::
CEO LtCmdr Adalberto:
CO: I have already started, Captain. You will get the results of my scans
soon.
CTO Lt Sumner:
*CO*: I take it Ensign Darloch wasn't forthcoming with details about the
canister. It's what the nitrogen was released from. There's a timer on it, but it's
burnt out; I wanted Adalberto to check the memory circuits to see if he could tell
how much time it was set for, so we could tell when it was planted.
CMO Lt Ecchumati:
*XO*: Commander, I've finished the autopsy of Mr. Ashington. ::looking over
a padd with her results:: My initial suspicions were correct. Cause of death hypoxia,
excessive nitrogen inhaled over an extended period of time. There's nothing else
unusual to report.
CO Cmdr Griffiths:
::nods:: *CTO*: Understood, Mister Sumner. He's looking
at it right now. Have you gotten word from Crewman Noran yet?
XO Cmdr Jameson:
::Overhears Sumner talking to Griffiths, and thinks that the canister being
the release mechanism makes sense::
CEO LtCmdr Adalberto:
SCI: Ensign...::furrows his brow trying to remember her name:: Ensign, please
run a tissue sample analyzes on the canister, see if there's any genetic material
to be found. I am linking you to my scans now.
CTO Lt Sumner:
*CO*: He's on his way down for questioning. As an aside, I don't enjoy having
my competence questioned in inter-departmental memos. It's... just not endearing,
sir.
XO Cmdr Jameson:
*CMO*: Thanks Doctor. That's both good and bad news. At least it's what we
suspected.
CEO LtCmdr Adalberto:
::smiles slightly at Henry's remark as he continues his scans on the timing
mechanism::
CMO Lt Ecchumati:
*XO*: Indeed. Ecchumati out.
SCI Ens shHruvek:
CEO: If I find anything, should I...run it through the personnel database
for any matches, sir? ::it's pretty rhetorical, but still, 'someone you know is
a murderer' is not a fun thought::
CEO LtCmdr Adalberto:
SCI: Start there, then work your way upwards.
XO Cmdr Jameson:
::Adds a few notes to the report on her PADD, feeling that she doesn't really
have anything to report. Just a profile on the victim::
CO Cmdr Griffiths:
*CTO*: Like I said, Lieutenant; You can speak to me about it in my ready
room if you'd like. Griffiths out. :;taps his comm badge with an air of finality::
CTO Lt Sumner:
::took a bit more joy in that than he should have::
XO Cmdr Jameson:
::Goes and sits in the XO Chair, turning her screen so she can carry on work
trying to find out personal information on Ashington, his friends, his social habits,
who he came into contact with in his last days::
Noran Dest:
::hits them chime on the Security Chief's office door, shifting from foot
to foot slightly::
CTO Lt Sumner:
Noran: Come in, Mr. Noran. ::scrolls idly through a PADD::
Noran Dest:
::steps into the door as it whisks open, nodding:: CTO: Lieutenant. Crewman
Noran, reporting as ordered.
CTO Lt Sumner:
::indicates the chair on the other side of his desk:: Noran: Have a seat.
I'd like to start with a personal question, if you don't mind.
CMO Lt Ecchumati:
::pushes the button on the bed for the corpse to go back out of view, and
turns to leave the morgue::
Noran Dest:
::sits down at the desk, nodding to the CTO:: CTO: Of course, Lieutenant.
Ask what you need.
CTO Lt Sumner:
Noran: Are you a follower of the Prophets, Mr. Noran?
Noran Dest:
::frowns, his eyes shifting back and forth:: CTO: That's a very personal
question, Sir...
CEO LtCmdr Adalberto:
CO: Captain, as my earlier report entailed, the gas release mechanism on
the cylinder was adapted from what seems to be a generic aerosol release mechanism
found in Bajoran agricultural schematics. Now the computer has finished comparing
the cylinder itself to known designs, and it seems the design is a match for a geo-conditioning
cylinder used in terraforming operations.
CTO Lt Sumner:
::nods:: Noran: It is, and you're free not to answer it. I assure you it's
relevant, however, and will have no effect on my opinion of you, or your potential
involvement with this case.
CMO Lt Ecchumati:
::enters sickbay:: Mendoza: Did security deliver that earring yet, Carla?
SCI Ens shHruvek:
::frowns at the results of scans:: CEO: Sir? There's not a lot to go on here.
Seems like it's been handled too much to get anything damning from it. Thankfully,
'not a lot' doesn't mean 'nothing'.
CEO LtCmdr Adalberto:
::looks over at the Andorian:: SCI: You have something to report?
Noran Dest:
::shakes his head slowly, looking down, a wash of sadness coming over his
face:: CTO: I don't. Not since...::shaking his head again, he looks up:: I am not
a religious person, Lieutenant.
XO Cmdr Jameson:
::Sighs to herself, as she carries on back tracing Ashington's movements
for anything potentially suspicious::
CMO Lt Ecchumati:
<Nurse_Mendoza> ::nods, gesturing to where it sits at a work bench::
CMO: Yes Doctor, just a few minutes ago.
CTO Lt Sumner:
::nods his understanding, and shows him the PADD with a picture of the earring::
Noran: Do you recognize this earring, Mr. Noran?
Noran Dest:
<CO_Cmdr_Griffiths> CEO: Terra-forming operations? Was it part of the
equipment we had on board earmarked for the Hooke, or is that just coincidence?
SCI Ens shHruvek:
CEO: I can tell you that a Vulcan's handled this at some point, and there's
some Human and Bajoran traces as well.
CMO Lt Ecchumati:
::nods thanks and moves over to get started on the DNA analysis::
Noran Dest:
::takes the PADD and looks at it before shaking his head:: CTO: Sorry, sir.
It's a popular design.
CEO LtCmdr Adalberto:
CO: The serial number has been scrubbed off, but the computer is running
a spectral analysis, I think I can clear it up in a few minutes.
CEO LtCmdr Adalberto:
SCI: Run them against our database, Ensign.
CTO Lt Sumner:
Noran: So you've seen one like it before. Any on the ship?
Noran Dest:
::nods:: CTO: A few, yes.
CTO Lt Sumner:
::nods some, taking back the PADD:: Noran: Where were you at 1415 hours?
CEO LtCmdr Adalberto:
::goes over the report on the timing mechanism as the computer finished compiling
it::
Noran Dest:
::tilts his head as if trying to remember:: CTO: I was on my duty shift,
down in Engineering. I think I was running a diagnostic on one of the gel packs.
CEO LtCmdr Adalberto:
::Taps his badge:: *CMO*: Adalberto to Sickbay.
CTO Lt Sumner:
Noran: Did you access the environmental controls?
CMO Lt Ecchumati:
::without taking her eyes off the scanner:: *CEO*: Ecchumati here.
CEO LtCmdr Adalberto:
*CMO*: Doc, do you have a time of death for me?
SCI Ens shHruvek:
CEO: There's not enough here to match any specific person, just enough to
tell me that at some point, one or more people of Vulcan, Bajoran, and Human profiles
touched this at some point. I'm afraid I can't do anything better than that.
Noran Dest:
::scratches his chin for a moment, thinking:: CTO: There was a power spike
in the environmental controls linked to that gel pack node, but then so were sonic
showers, waste disposal, heating...I probably logged into a log of systems there,
sir.
CEO LtCmdr Adalberto:
SCI: Alright, send your report to Lieutenant Sumner. Keep at it, perhaps
we'll get lucky.
CTO Lt Sumner:
::makes a note for Adalberto to look into that:: Noran: What do you know
about Mr. Ashington?
CMO Lt Ecchumati:
*CEO*: Yes, about 7 hours ago now, my autopsy showed cause of death as we
suspected, hypoxia.
XO Cmdr Jameson:
::Starts to get a small headache, watching the monotony of Ashington's life,
wondering if someone watching hers would think the same::
CMO Lt Ecchumati:
::has a strong urge for some coffee::
CEO LtCmdr Adalberto:
::reads the report on the timer:: *CMO*: Thanks Doc. I am sending you my
report on the timing mechanism....according to my numbers, it activated somewhere
between 30 to 60 minutes before time of death.
Noran Dest:
::shrugs slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable talking about his dead
friend:: CTO: He was a nice person, always smiling. Happy, you know? Pretty clean,
always willing to lend a hand. He even joined in our poker games sometimes.
CTO Lt Sumner:
::smiles some:: Noran: Hold 'em or stud?
Noran Dest:
::smiles slightly:: CTO: Stud, although we play Hold 'Em now and again if
the mood swings that way.
CTO Lt Sumner:
Noran: How big a group? Regulars, I assume.
CMO Lt Ecchumati:
::moves to get a coffee as the DNA analysis continues, knowing it might be
a while, but hears it beeping completion even before the coffee materializes:: Self:
Hmm.. Faster computer than my last assignment.
Noran Dest:
::nods again:: CTO: Just some of my friends, we've been together for a while
now, different assignments, planets and stations.
TAC Ens Darloch:
:: sends CTO list of names who entered room in last 24 hours::
SCI Ens shHruvek:
::and Sumner is...the new CTO? right. she did not forget that or have to
quickly look that up or anything of the sort. nope. sending that short report off
to Sumner then.::
CMO Lt Ecchumati:
::looks over the results and runs a comparison against the crew on record::
*XO*: Sickbay to Jameson.
CTO Lt Sumner:
::looks to his PADD as it beeps:: Noran: When was the last time you guys
played?
CEO LtCmdr Adalberto:
::gets his results on the ID marker:: CO: Captain, the cylinder was in fact
was part of the equipment that the terraforming team brought with them before transferring
to the Hooke.
XO Cmdr Jameson:
::Feels relieved to hear her voice, so she can tear away from the screen::
*CMO*: It's good to hear your voice Doctor
Noran Dest:
CTO: Yesterday evening, about 2000 hours. That....::swallows::....That was
the last time I saw Bill. He was feeling tired, didn't want to join the game and
went to bed.
