[Medical Quarantine Lab 3]

With an ambicious mind on virology and bacteriology, Micheal was given permission to study an unknown virus that Doctor Kolmak mentioned that was held in the Medical Quarantine Lab. He was suited up in biohazard suit in the changing room. From there, he entered a sealed code access door.

Mister Reeves walked slower than normal because of the suit's restriction for movement. It was like a space walk outside the ship without the gravity. He was heading to a cabinet to look for the petri dish when he discovered a door left ajar. Frowning, he carefully opened it to find several broken glass. Shocked, "What in the world?"

Micheal closed the door and placed a biohazard seal on it. He left the quarantine area after being carefully sprayed down and his suit was removed and disposed. He quickly left the area to head to sickbay after the computer located Doctor Kolmak.

[Main Sickbay]

As soon as he entered, he desperately looked for the doctor, finding out that he had left not long ago to a medical emergency. He turned and nearly bumped into another nurse, his supervisor.

Hank blinked as he looked at the younger man, the expression on his face made Hank think there was a problem.

"How can I help you Mr. Reeves?" Hank asked in his normal kind tone.

"We have a serious problem, sir. Someone has broken into the Medical Quarantine Lab 3...there are several broken petri dishes in the middle cabinet. I closed it and sealed it with a biohazard seal. I immediately removed myself," he said nervously.

Hank raised an eyebrow and pulled a PADD from his pocket accessing the contents of the lab. His stomach fell to the floor as he read that the cabnet contained samples of the Hadronus virus which had been retrieved from the surface and used for experimentation by both the Chief Science Officer and Chief Medical Officer.

"Damned, get on the bio bed and let me run a scan over you to make sure there wasn't any accidental exposure. Computer, place a medical seal on Medical Quarantine Lab 3, my authorization, only unlock once the CMO, ACMO or Chief of Security overrides." Hank knew that the meidcal seal would prevent anyone other than himself or the listed senior staff to enter the room. With that done he moved to the closest bio bed and picked up a medical tricorder off of the counter beside the bed.

That made Micheal more nervous, thinking of being exposed to a virus he doesn't know anything about. "Geez," he obeyed, moving himself up on a biobed. "I was careful...", sounding discouraged. "I had permission from Doctor Kolmak to study the petri dish. He told me to follow all safety procedures," he added.

Hank nodded "That's understandable Petty Officer, I'm sure he did and I'm sure you haven't been exposed but I want to make double sure. I know the doctors and security will want a verification as well. Just to make sure the computer's sensors didn't miss anything." he ran the tricorder over the other man before tapping his comm badge.

"Sickbay to Security, please have an officer report to sickbay, there has been a break in at the Medical Quarantine Lab." Hank severed the com line after an affermative from an unknown officer came across.

Maggie was in her office when the call came in from sickbay. A break-in? The security systems in the quarantine lab should have prevented any unauthorized access. She decided this was something she should see to herself.

As she walked out of her office she asked Ensign Palisano to pull all records from the lab and send her the information.

Two minutes later, she walked into sickbay.

Micheal turned his head while laying on his back, seeing a black haired woman approaching them. Betazoid? The striking beauty of her face made his hormones go crazy. He knew that his strange vital signs will be displayed for Mister Grey to see it. He tried to hide his uncontrolled feelings which was not easy to do. His youth contains too many testosterone in his system, causing his heart to start racing and sweat glands to release fluid. His shyness got the better of him as his eyes couldn't look away. He remained silent.

Maggie glanced from one person to the other, "What happened?"

Hank finished his scan and turned to the Commander.

"Commander, Chief Petty Officer Reeves here just came to sickbay and informed me that there has been a break in at Medical Quarantine Lab 3. He stated that there were several petri dish soap that were broken. He believes that the dishes in question held samples of the Hadronus virus. I was just completing a medical scan of him to make sure the labs sensors didn't miss anything." The elder NCO looked at Reeves in a 'tell her what you know' look.

"Um," he coughed. "I followed protocol after given permission by Doctor Kolmak to study the virus. I never had a chance to do it when I found the broken petri dishes. The door was left ajar that held the dishes. The security door to that room is sealed shut, ma'am."

"What happened to the security measures that were already in place?" Maggie asked. The computer should have warned of a break-in.

Micheal shrugged his shoulders. He looked at nurse Grey. "Am I clear? Can I sit up?"

Grey nodded "Yes, your not infected nor do I detect any errant virus strands on your skin or clothing." he looked from Micheal to Commander Doyl before speaking to the Commander. "Commander, I instructed the computer to put the Quarantine Lab on medical lock-down keyed to the CMO, ACMO or yourself. I hope that helps preserve the crime scene for you, though I'm not sure why the computer didn't do that automatically and alert us here in sickbay that there had been a break in. I will see if I cant find the on duty Bio-Hazard Clean up team and get them to go down with your security detail when your ready."

Maggie nodded. "It does help. Thank you. I'll have a team look into why the alarms weren't tripped." She checked her PADD and nodded. "I can have a team here in ten minutes."

Grey's eyes moved to Maggie "The clean up team will be ready when yours is." he looked back to the Reeves then to the officer "I will take my leave of you both and begin coordinating with the teams."

"Thank you," Maggie replied.

The medical technician sat up, letting his legs dangle over the side of the biobed just as his nerves were calming down. He let out a sigh.

"Thank you as well," Maggie said to the technician. "I'd like a full report of what you found. Tomorrow is good enough." She gave him a nod and headed ot meet her team.

"Yes, ma'am", Micheal said.
