As Maril sat down in a chair, he touched the communications console on the | |||
nearby table. "Maril to Commander Zane," he started. | |||
Soon, the Captain's face appeared on the same console. [What's the matter, | |||
Commander?] he asked. | |||
"Just the spy returning to the headquarters." | |||
[What do you have to report?] | |||
"Lieutenant Jenn is still resting after I told her the news that Kavan has died, | |||
although she would be the mountain in the storm if she is not affected by that." | |||
[Or perhaps a Vulcan,] Zane smiled. | |||
Maril laughed at the joke, then continued. "Lieutenant Glin'kharr is ill for | |||
unknown reasons. He claimed, while he was in a fever state, that the Ring is trying to | |||
change his species somehow. After that, he became more delirious, however. T'Del is | |||
looking into it." | |||
[Hmm.... Rather strange. Well, continue.] | |||
"Ensign Serra has contracted the Plague, and-" | |||
[Serra has gotten the Plague! Great! My 2O, my CMO, and CSciO, all sick or | |||
injured. If you hadn't escaped from the settlement, there might not be a functioning | |||
senior officer down there!] Zane took a deep breath. [Anything else, Commander?] | |||
"Well, it doesn't look good for Serra. If we don't find a cure, he may die. Also, | |||
now that the virus has found a way around the vaccine, it may start to spread more | |||
quickly." | |||
The Captain did not look happy. | |||
"However, I do have some good news. All of the settlement team escaped, and | |||
we were also able to bring all of our equipment and the records and information. So, all | |||
of the information gathered in the settlement is now available." | |||
[Well, we believe that operatives of the Order have escaped onto a convoy of | |||
Panarik freighters. Accordingly, Lieutenant Jerran and a group of officers have set out | |||
on a health and safety examination of the freighters. Hopefully, we will find the | |||
fugitives.] | |||
Maril looked thoughtful for a second, and then replied. "We should make sure | |||
we are not fighting the river and the army at the same time. I think we should have a | |||
conference of all available officers at...2000 hours?" | |||
[Very well. Everyone up here except for Jerran can be in the conference. What | |||
about down there?] | |||
"I'm not sure. Possibly Jenn, but I don't think either Glin'kharr or Serra will be | |||
able to attend." | |||
[Well, we'll do what we can. Zane out.] | |||
The screen on the console faded to black. Maril sighed. Was it possible to | |||
defeat this virus which could mutate so quickly? | |||

Well, I'm just throwing these ideas around. We'll see who can get to the conference. :) I | |||
guess it will be a holo-conference so that we don't risk spread of the virus. I've got a | |||
few ideas on how to defeat this Plague. Hopefully, I'm not the only one. ;) |
