Corran Horn: --------start sim---------- DESCRIPTION ---Corran awakes late in the morning to the beeping of the message center - ooryl has assembled the pilots who could make it at DownTime----

Ooryl Qyrgg -= Ooryl walks into Downtime, and looks for a friendly face =-

Corran Horn: -=gets up and walks over to the message center=-

Ooryl Qyrgg -= he sees the group in a back booth and walks over =-

Corran Horn: -=plugs in the datapad and starts the transfer of cracken's latest message quickly=- -=gets dressed while it transfers=-

Siee Janson: -=leans her head back, sighing into the shower stream=-

Ooryl Qyrgg -= Nods to Col Fel =- Are well today Col?

Corran Horn: -=the pad beeps, corran grabs it and heads quickly for downtime=-

Jagged Fel: -=Glances up and looks back to his work quickly=- Fine

Siee Janson: -=turns off the water and wraps self in soft bathrobe=-

Ooryl Qyrgg -= sits =- Ooryl knows of your felling towards non-humans..Qyrgg apologizes

Corran Horn: -=walks in to the cantina, seeing Fel, Ooryl, Face, Nawara=- Where's Captain Ngo? He didn't fall sick did he?

Ooryl Qyrgg -= looks at Corran. =- Qyrgg does not know. Ooryl has droids looking for Hobbie in the maintenance lockers

Siee Janson: -=sits in the bedroom in just her bathrobe, brushing out her hair, trying to keep her mind together about her brother... amoung other things=-

Corran Horn: I assumed he'd be here since he wasn't showing symptoms. Oh well, Cracken has something for us to do.

Ooryl Qyrgg -= listens =-

Corran Horn: He wants us to use what we know to try and piece together a complete account of the night of the banquet.

Siee Janson: -=slips out of her bathrobe and puts lotion on her body, then the tight flightsuit=-

Mike Ngo: ::He walks in:: umm, sorry, i'm late

Corran Horn: Good to see you like to be punctual Captain. As I was saying before...

Corran Horn: Cracken wants us to use what we know to piece together an account of the night of the banquet

Corran Horn: I'll start with the information Cracken sent me.

Ooryl Qyrgg -= thinks back to the night of the banquet =-

Siee Janson: -=fixes her hair quickly, then leaves to go search out any of the Rogues or Wraiths

Mike Ngo: ::tries to think of what everyone else has said about the banquet

Corran Horn: After the banquet, approximately 36 hours, nearly every human member or Rogue and Wraith squads collapsed and were administered immediate bacta thereapy. They showed little sign of improvement from it, which leads us to believe this virus was manufactured rather than naturally occurring. Cracken checked with other groups in attendance, and none had experienced any problems

Siee Janson: -=walks past the doorway to downtime=-

Corran Horn: He wants us to determine as best as we can whether this was a deliberate act or a freak occurance. Anyone have anything to add?

Mike Ngo: ::Raises hand::

Corran Horn: Yes, Captain Ngo? -=coughs violently, grabs a chair and sits=-

Siee Janson: -=walks into Downtime and goes over to the bar, not noticing the group=-

Mike Ngo: This was a very well publicized event, I don't really see why this could have been a freak event, since many other republic officials are ill as well. it's kinda convenient don't you think?

Jagged Fel: It also looks like it was aimed at the heart of Rogue Squadron

Corran Horn: Yes we know that, but we cannot discount the possibility.

Ooryl Qyrgg -= looks at corran =- Ooryl saw few familiar faces there... It will be hard to remember

Corran Horn: But why target only humans?

Jagged Fel: They make up more than 80% of the squadron. Maybe they figure it can't function without them

Ooryl Qyrgg Ooryl reminds ..... our Bith pilot is also ill

Jagged Fel: Yeah Officer T'an.

Corran Horn: A good point Colonel. I'm not familiar with Bith biochemistry, is it similar to humans?

Siee Janson: -=unzips her flightsuit a bit because of the heat in the launge=-

Ooryl Qyrgg According to the 21B ...Bith and Human physiology is almost the same

Corran Horn: That would explain it then

Ooryl Qyrgg -= notices MIss Janson and approximates a smile in her direction =-

Siee Janson: -=gets a nice, cold drink and sips it slowly=-

Corran Horn: OK, who would have the motive to do this? All in attendance were NR members weren't they?

Siee Janson: -=sees Ooryl and smiles over the rim of her drink, getting a nice milk mustashe=-

Ooryl Qyrgg Ooryl seems to remember many Ex-Black Sun members were in attendance as well

Corran Horn: Cracken cleared them personally, so I doubt it was them. Looking over the files, there were several recent acceptances into the New Republic

Ooryl Qyrgg Ooryl did not intend them as suspect... maybe as target?

Corran Horn: Ghorman stood out the most to me, it is deep in the core, near Coruscant, and joined within the last year. I don't know who would have a rivalry with Black Sun anymore, especially since it's downfall

Siee Janson: -=takes drink and makes her way over to the table shyly, not being as comfortable around the Rogues as she is around the Wraiths=-

Ooryl Qyrgg -= stands so that MIss Janson may sit =-

Corran Horn: Borleias also stood out, it has a mixed population and gives many groups the opportunity

Siee Janson: Thanks Ooryl. -=sits down to listen to conversation=-

Ooryl Qyrgg Expatriots of Kessel maybe?

Corran Horn: Perhaps, we'll need to look into that. -=types a note onto his datapad=- Anyone have other ideas as to who would have the motive or means to do this?

Ooryl Qyrgg Ooryl suggest that the mastermind behind this would have to be an alien....

Siee Janson: I remember Wes talking about a Krytos virus... maybe someone whose life was affected by it?

Corran Horn: I think that's a good thought as well. Although it could be a human trying to stir up human-nonhuman problems again

Mike Ngo: It might not mean that, maybe they just didn't like the rogues or wraiths, so taking out all humans seemed like a good idea

Siee Janson: after all, wasn't it the Rogues who were blamed for that?

Ooryl Qyrgg yes.. that is true

Siee Janson: and the Wraiths would be targets because of our connection to Wedge...

Ooryl Qyrgg Whoever it is...Hates us with such a passion...much more than Col. Fels hatred of Aliens

Corran Horn: Yes, the virus only affecting humans could be the result of it's makeup not allowing it to cross species

Jagged Fel: -=Throws a look at Ooryl=- What about the remnant? Could just be a plot to cut through the meat of rogue squad.

Siee Janson: and Wraith squad to. -=looks at Fel=-

Ooryl Qyrgg -= looks over at Fel =- Was not meant as an insult Col, merely a statement of fact

Corran Horn: True, and the Remnant would have access through rebel groups on planets like Ghorman and other recent joinees

Jagged Fel: Both of those planets are near imperial controled space if I remember right

Corran Horn: -=coughs heavily and types some more into his datapad=-

Siee Janson: -=looks at Corran, worry in her eyes=-

Corran Horn: Yes, it would be fairly easy for them to slip an operative into realtively lax governments like those. This is good. Now, how did we not detect a virus through our usual measures?

Siee Janson: It was in food, was it not? It could have been one set to not become active until heated...

Ooryl Qyrgg Ooryl has gone over the Med Security logs for the food that nigt. no results

Corran Horn: we should really talk to one of the kitchen staff to see exactly the measures they used

Jagged Fel: Could have been slipped in drinks I guess.

Corran Horn: does anyone know if they check the food after it has been cooked?

Ooryl Qyrgg You drank...did you not Col Fel?

Jagged Fel: Yeah, but I'm not a member of Rogue or Wraith

Mike Ngo: ::coughs lightly in his hand:: I know I did, but that was before the dinner

Corran Horn: Yes, drinks are a possibilty as well, there's plenty of quick dissolving agents with no taste

Siee Janson: Was this a diplomatic dinner? a big event that was invite only? I was out on a training mission, so I don't know the details.

Corran Horn: I don't have any details on that. Does anyone else?

Ooryl Qyrgg Qyrgg apologizes for not briefing you fully Miss Janson...it was a Diplomatic Event -= Ooryls comlink beeps, he steps away to answer it =- -= Ooryl talks for a moment then returns to the table...very sullen =-

Siee Janson: Did they have waiter walking around, offernig to add pepper or other delicaties to the meal

Corran Horn: This may be irrelevant, but where was the food shipped from?

Siee Janson: that's a very easy way of selective posioning

Mike Ngo: maybe, but some people don't eat with pepper

Siee Janson: it could have been many things... pepper, cheese, oil... crackers for soups...

Ooryl Qyrgg -= leans over to Corran =- It has become worse

Siee Janson: Maybe the silverware was laced as well... thin transparent coating that would break down from saliva compounds?

Corran Horn: -=whispers=- what is it?

Mike Ngo: true, but a waiter wouldn't come around and ask, it would have already been in the food to begin with

Ooryl Qyrgg Piggy and Runt have become ill and are now in Bacta as well

Siee Janson: not if you want to look presentable. I've seen waiters walk around, offering to ground fresh pepper over your food

Mike Ngo: ::turns and looks ar ooryl::

Corran Horn: -=slams hand on the table=- Sithspawn! Piggy and Runt were just checked into med bay. they're sick too

Siee Janson: -=looks up, shocked=-

Jagged Fel: To answer your question Commander. It was a diplomati event so I would guess the food came from the dignitaries home worlds.

Ooryl Qyrgg I do remember some of the food was brought in from the Alderann Biotics Facility

Corran Horn: That would make sense for the most part, but many of the worlds produce no foodstuffs

Ooryl Qyrgg For Tycho and Senator Organa

Corran Horn: Alderaan Biotics...Borleias...possible link there. Anywhere else confirmed? I know Agamar is a huge ag center

Ooryl Qyrgg -= takes out a datapad =- Adumar, for Nerf florentine...and Agamar for the roasted tubers

Siee Janson: Corellia? Could the hutts be taking part in this?

Ooryl Qyrgg Qyrgg does not see the connection though

Corran Horn: All three of those were in attendance, which certainly leaves the possibility. Last I knew Corellia is run by the Diktat, Hutts do business from Nar Shaddaa. I know that's not your area of expertise, I've worked around their type a lot -=looks at chrono=- well I think that's good for now, I'll send our ideas over to Cracken, He should have something for us by tomorrow morning

Ooryl Qyrgg Whoever it is must have a vast Biomedical knowledge...or know someone who does

Jagged Fel: -=Stands and stretches over his head=-

Mike Ngo: IF this was actually engineered

Corran Horn: -=Stands slowly=- Yes, we still don't know.

Siee Janson: -=stares down at her hands=- Corran, I hate to ask.. but do the medics have a time limit on how long this virus will go on? Do they think it'll fade out eventually, or... -=bites lip=-

Ooryl Qyrgg It must be.... Ooryl sees no other way

Corran Horn: I haven't heard anything from the meds, as far as I know they aren't getting any worse... But that may be the bacta holding it off

Jagged Fel: I wonder if there's any way to get a vial of this stuff and change it around so it affects a lesser species so we can see what the results would be.

Corran Horn: You're all dismissed, assemble here tomorrow at 0900, and we'll see what we have.

Ooryl Qyrgg -= looks at Siee =- Ooryl is going to med bay to check on the others, will you join? -= ignores Fel's comment =-

Mike Ngo: ::looks at fel:: why would you want to do that?

Siee Janson: -=shoots a look at Fel=-

Corran Horn: Why don't you talk to the meds about that Col., see what they have to say?

Jagged Fel: Bring in like a womp rat or something. I just want to find out what the end result of the virus is.

Ooryl Qyrgg -= shrugs and turns his back on the group....walks out the door =-

Corran Horn: -=follows ooryl=-

Mike Ngo: ::nods::

Siee Janson: -=stands up to follow Ooryl=-

Jagged Fel: -=Turns heading for the back dark corner of downtime=-

Mike Ngo: ::looks at everyone leaving. he gets up to join them::
