=== Chimera Deck 2=== Keylor Stepped out of his quarters , dressed in a fresh uniform after his vigorous spring ball game on the holodeck. As he walked down the corridor he noticed a few technicians looking all around the hall at an intersection. They appeared to be searching for something but not finding what they wanted. They wore a puzzled look one each of their faces. As Keylor approached they parted, hugging the wall to allow Keylor to pass. But he stopped and inquired to their bewildered look. "What is the problem crewman?" he asked the taller of the two. "Well sir." He replied still looking puzzled. "We got a call about a fire in this section." Keylor interrupted, "A fire? When?" The tall technician nodded, "Aye sir a fire, about 25 minutes ago. But the chief did not have any thing on sensors and the officer who reported it told him to forget about it." The Technician pointed to the walls, "The chief wanted us to come down her and try to figure out why some one would say that. He figured it might have been a malfunction panel or red alert light." Keylor looked about the walls and then back at the technician, "Did you find any thing?" He asked. The technician shook his head no, "No sir nothing. I just can't find any reason for it." Keylor looked back at the walls, "Who reported the fire?" the technician lifted a pad and tapped on it a few times. "Ensign Oriana sir." Keylor snapped his head back to the technician, "Oriana? The Vulcan?" he said as a half question. The technician nodded, "Yes sir. If it had been anyone else the chief would have dismissed it as a prank. That is why he sent us." Keylor looked at the floor. He thought for a moment and then nodded. "Very with crewman. Fish your task here and report back to your chief." The technician nodded, "Aye, aye sir." Keylor continued on his was. The thought of a Vulcan, let alone his chief science officer seeing things that were not there was a little disturbing to him. Coupled with the strange message form Doctor summers about the stations crew behavior he was beginning to wonder. Fearing something might be wrong he tapped on his comm badge. "Bretam to transporter room 1." He called out. "Chief Mallory here sir." Came the reply. "Chief," Keylor started. "Do your records show Ensign Oriana coming back form the station in the last few hours?" There was a silence for a minute. "Yes sir, she beamed back form the station about 40 minutes ago. Is there a problem?" he asked. "No chief just wondering if she was on the ship. Bretam Out." === captains Ready room === Keylor looked out of the window at the stations as the circled it endlessly. He was thinkg about Rangi's message and if something was really going on. {First the shuttle, the rangi' concern, now Oriana reporting a fire that was never there. What is going on?} Just then Cmdr Birt commed in. "Birt to Bretam?" came the questionable call. Keylor turned back to his desk and tapped on his comm badge. "GO ahead." He replied. "Sir? Lieutenant Andersen just received a hail form the station. They have informed us to break orbit and leave this part of space or be fired upon." Keylor expression was one of dis-belief. "Did I hear that right? They threatened to fire on us?" He asked. "Aye sir." Birt replied. If there was any doubt, it was quickly disappearing. Keylor was wondering if he was a little too quick to dismiss Rangi's concern for over dedication to her profession. "Commander, something is not right here. But until we can determine what is going on we better accommodate their request. Take the ship to yellow alert and move us away form the station until we are out of their weapons range. " HE stated quickly. "Aye sir." Came the reply. Keylor continued, "Once we are out of range I want full reports on the shuttle we hauled in. Lieutenant Andersen. Did you recover the bodies?" he asked. "Yes sir two bodies, beamed directly to Sickbay." Keylor nodded to himself,"Good I want you to go down to the shuttle bay and supervise the investigation. Fiond out what happened on that shuttle and report back immediately." He barked out his orders. "Yse sir I will get on it right away." Came a less than enthused reply. Keylor then started to walk to the back entrance to his ready room, "Commander Birt you have the bridge for now. Inform me of any strange event and keep us clear of any one or any thing that comes form the station. As of now we are on lockdown. I will be in sickbay." Keylor hurried his pace up and headed down to the sick bay to see if the doctors had found any reason for the shuttle crews accident." ===End Log=== <<OOC:: Any one in sick bay want to talk about dead bodies?
