"Good Morning Captains" Vadosia spoke to the monitor on his desk. It was split between Captain Mavroidis, CO of the ground base of DS11 and Captain Terlexa, CO of the Space Station of DS11, colloquially known as The Compound and Gamma Command respectively. "I trust you both slept well?" Both officers nodded. Vadosia liked to have conversations with both of them at once, kept everyone in the loop he thought. And of course Gamma Command was in a synchronous orbit above New Bajor, specifically above the Compound, to maintain the same time zone. This helped, as staff from both facilities often interchanged between both. | "Good Morning Captains" Vadosia spoke to the monitor on his desk.

"Yes, Admiral, a pleasant night here on New Bajor." Tarmin Mavroidis, the Ullian Captain replied. | "''Yes, Admiral, a pleasant night here on New Bajor.''" Tarmin Mavroidis, the Ullian Captain replied. | ||
"I heard it was quite pleasant. I was here on the station all night. Did manage to get some sleep though. We have a few people down with some form of virus, so no transfers up today Tarmin, but I do have some people to beam down.

Vadosia looked to Captain Terlexa. "How bad is the virus Juliana? Where did it come from?" | Vadosia looked to Captain Terlexa. "How bad is the virus Juliana? Where did it come from?" | ||
"We think a freighter worker brought it in on one of the last supply runs. We haven't been able to isolate when, but its non-life threatening and with a few hyposprays a day, it goes away." | "''We think a freighter worker brought it in on one of the last supply runs.

Tarmin spoke up. "Juliana, you may begin beaming down todays transfers. You are sure they haven't contracted the virus?" | Tarmin spoke up. "''Juliana, you may begin beaming down todays transfers. You are sure they haven't contracted the virus?''" | ||
"They have been cleared by Doctor Menendez." The channel suddenly became momentarily static, as some interference disrupted the transmission.

Vadosia nodded. He called out to his Yeoman. "Tevak, we are getting some interference, can you see what the cause is?"

"Dear god." Vadosia tapped several keys on his desk, activating certain subroutines that would begin working almost instantaneously. " | "Dear god." Vadosia tapped several keys on his desk, activating certain subroutines that would begin working almost instantaneously. "Let's move." A sound in the distance caused them both to turn and look out the window, where a phaser fight was happening in the gardens in front of the building. He tapped the corner of one of the consoles on the wall, revealing a hidden compartment containing a phaser and modified tricorder. "We need to secure the compound." He tapped some keys on the tricorder, which synced it up with his comm badge, which would now scramble his location and communications. "Adislo to Mavroidis. Report." | ||
"Admiral, we need help, the transfers from Gamma Command beamed down heavily armed, they are working through the outer layers from the transporter room. I'm sealed in my office for now, with my XO, someone sealed the room from the outside." The Ullian replied. | "''Admiral, we need help, the transfers from Gamma Command beamed down heavily armed, they are working through the outer layers from the transporter room.

"Yes, myself and Commander Channing are. Who are these people Vadosia?" | "''Yes, myself and Commander Channing are. Who are these people Vadosia?''" | ||
"They were our friends and colleagues Captain. Trust no one. We will be there soon. Vadosia out." He tapped his comm badge.

"Excellent. We now have an isolated system within the computer system. Including transporter control. Someone has raised the shields around the compound command center though.

"''Good Morning Captains''". Vadosia was always so cheerful in the mornings, Tarmin thought to himself. He was sitting at his desk and as channel opened for his morning briefing with the Admiral and Captain Terlexa. He sipped some of his coffee. "''I trust you both slept well?''" | |||
Tarmin nodded to the Vadosia, as Julianna did. "Yes, Admiral, a pleasant night here on New Bajor. | Tarmin nodded to the Vadosia, as Julianna did. "Yes, Admiral, a pleasant night here on New Bajor. | ||

Tarmin nodded as Vadosia did. "Tevak, we are getting some interference, can you see what the cause is? Tevak is working on it, where were…" The channel cut.

Tarmin looked to Zach. "We need to try and figure out what's going on." He sat at his desk, his access code was still working. He tried using the internal sensors, to try and work out what exactly was going on. He pulled up security footage of the transporter room. 6 security officers from Gamma Command beamed down, phasers drawn. They fired on the transporter chief before he had a chance to call for help. They then beamed down more and more officers, and disabled the transporter. 24 officers were beamed down. Tarmin was beginning to think that there was no virus on the station. "We have no idea how many are on our side. With the security fields up, we may as well wait for the Admiral to arrive." | Tarmin looked to Zach. "We need to try and figure out what's going on."

"Good Morning Captains" Juliana was still going through some of her reports, but she had been expecting this briefing, so was mostly prepared.

"Thanks Juliana, please keep me informed." The Admiral replied. She nodded in agreement, as a message popped up on one of her PADDs. It was only 3 words, but she knew what it meant.
