Summary - The U.S.S. Ganymede has been ordered to the Argolis Cluster, to observe an unusual eclipse which is set occur in the region in the next few days. After a minor accident disembarking from space dock, the Ganymede has continued en route to the cluster.
During their trip to the cluster, however, the Ganymede crew detected a distress signal, from an unusual Pakled vessel. Scans of the Pakleds and their crew are all but impossible, and their intentions seem weird, seeing as they have already abducted one officer - the Chief Engineer.
What do they want? ...and why were they so interested in the talents of Lieutenant Mash'ev? Only time will tell...

<Alezka> ::Works on the bridge of the Ganymede, doing his best to rotate scanning frequencies, and gets a clear signal of the alien vessel::
CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
Deploc: Do you know where our Chief Engineering Officer is?
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
CO: Well we know where he is, I'll check in with Engineering.
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
*EO* Mr. Lai, have the Pakleds agreed to return Lt. Mash’ev?
Host CJ-Tala says:
@<Meynok> ::Walks into the Engine Room and looks around. Several of his people are standing around Mash'ev, watching him curiously:: CEO: You come now.
EO_Lt_Lai says:
*XO*: Not in so many words, Sir, but they seemed to not need him anymore...saying their ship is fixed.
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
CTO: what is the status of our guests?
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::nods::  *EO*: Be sure to communicate to them, that they get to leave when we get our Chief back, and no sooner.
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
@:: In Pakled's ME room, trying to understand their systems and repair damaged units. Quite a task ahead as much of the ship is in operable but substandard condition. ::
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
@Meynok: Where now?
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
CO: They are still in Main Engineering. I can have my team herd them up here if you wish.
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
CTO: bring them back to the bridge
CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::Stands there watching the Pakleds not sure what he is wanted to do::
Nurnick says:
::stands around ME::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
CO: Aye Captain. *Sec Team Alpha*: ENS Ling: Please escort our guests to the bridge ASAP.
Host CJ-Tala says:
<Deploc> CNS: He is with Meynok. He help us.
Host CJ-Tala says:
@<Meynok> CEO: A special place. You come now. ::Meynok walks out of the room, as if he expects Mash'ev to obediently follow::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
::Sits down finally:: XO: Any suggestions how to proceed Commander
FCO_ENS_Hamanari says:

CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
<ENS_Ling> *CTO*: At once Lt.
CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
Deploc: Meynok? Why does he need our Chiefs help?
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
CO: Slowly, and deliberately.  It's the only way the Pakleds know.
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
@::Stares at Meynok, looks around, and decides that maybe he'll get some answers if he complies. ::
Host Deploc says:
CNS: Meynok needs one with special gifts
CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
Deploc: What types of gifts? Ones that can fix things?
Host Deploc says:
::Turns to Nurnick and smiles::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
XO: Make sure that they can not access the shields from anywhere they go, they may not go till we get the CEO back
Nurnick says:
::smiles back what’s up man::
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - A small team of Starfleet security officers move into Main Engineering and head towards Deploc, Nurnick and the Ganymede officers nearby.
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
@::Follows Meynok out of their Engineering section. ::
CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::Turns to the Security Team:: Security Team: Can I help you gentlemen?
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::tries to monitor the poor excuse that the Pakleds have for communications to see if she can find a clue to how to get the CEO back::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
OPS: try hailing there ship, maybe we can talk to someone else
Host Deploc says:
CNS: Fix things good.....::Eyes the security team as they approach::
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::nods::  CO: I fully agree.
Host CJ-Tala says:
@<Meynok> ::Enters a room not far from the Engine Room, and moves over to a control casing. Slowly, he kneels down and pulls off a casing, exposing a sophisticated looking device that seems to give off a purple glow:: CEO: You fix now.
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
CO:  I'm trying, for some reason, I'm getting static.
FCO_ENS_Hamanari says:
SO: It appears that the their is an energy field that is making our readings indeterminate.  I am going to try to modulate the sensors to get through the field.
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
OPS: bombard them with hails till you get a clear one
Host CJ-Tala says:
<Alezka> FCO: Sounds good, I'll do my best to get the sensor pod focused on the field, maybe if we can get an analysis on it, we can find a way to punch through it.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
<ENS_Ling> CNS: We have orders to escort our guests back to the bridge Cmdr.
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
CO:  Will do, Captain.
EO_Lt_Lai says:
Deploc/Nurnick: You have to return our officer to us, or else you won't get to go back to your ship.
Host Deploc says:
Nurnick: You like to look at things here? ::Keeps an eye on the CNS and they security team::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::continues to hail the Pakleds on all frequencies::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
CTO: can we beam them out of engineering?
Nurnick says:
Deploc: sure as long as I have fun.
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
@::Reaches for his tricorder for the hundredth time, only to remember that he doesn't have it with him.::  Meynok: I'm going to need a few minutes to determine what to do first, ok?
CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::Thinks for a moment and nods to the Security Officer:: Deploc/Nurnick: My Captain would like to speak with you again. We must meet her on the Bridge.
Host CJ-Tala says:
@<Meynok> CEO: Fix, hurry. No time for few minutes.
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
@Self: Or a few hours.. days..  :: Wondering what in the heck this 'broken' component is and how it interacts with the rest of the ship. ::
FCO_ENS_Hamanari says:
::runs through field notations to try to increase efficiency of the sensors.::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
CO: That would be quicker. *SEC Team*: Stand by. :: Initiates the beam out from ME to the bridge.::
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
@:: Bends down to get a closer look at the device, trying to determine what might be wrong. ::
Host Deploc says:
EO:  We can go when we go. ::Smiles and pats his hand across his belt::
Host Deploc says:
Nurnick: You say when we go ::Smiles wider and walks across ME::
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - In a shimmer of lights, the two Pakleds and the security team are beamed directly from Main Engineering onto the bridge.
EO_Lt_Lai says:
Deploc: But your ship doesn't go if we don't want it to. You should speak with the Captain.
Nurnick says:
Deploc: sure ok.
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
@Meynok: Where did you find this?
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
Pakleds:: took you two long enough to make your way back
CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::Watches the Security Team and Pakleds dematerialize from his location:: Self: How wonderful.
Host CJ-Tala says:
@<Meynok> CEO: It was a gift from my brother. It is mine now. You make it fix.
Host Deploc says:
::Is surprised by the sudden transport, but tries to hide it::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Grins at the Captains joke.::
Nurnick says:
::looks around::
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - The Ganymede shudders slightly and lights in Main Engineering flicker briefly.
FCO_ENS_Hamanari says:
SO: Perhaps if we increase active sensor strength on a polar opposite field we can break through and get some readings.
Host Deploc says:
::Walks purposely toward the Captain::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::still tries to hail the Pakled ship::
CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
EO: That was fun wasn't it? ::Notices the flicker::
Nurnick says:
::follows Deploc::
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
Self: What the...  *EO*: Engineering, report.  What was that?
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Stands by his console ready to implement a level 10 force field should the need arise.::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
Deploc: I will ask you once more, give us our CEO, and you may leave
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
@::Begins examining the device to determine what might be malfunctioning, taking his best educated guess what might be wrong or even where to begin. ::
FCO_ENS_Hamanari says:
::runs a diagnostic on warp and impulse engines::
EO_Lt_Lai says:
Self: Well, that was abrupt. Computer: Computer, restore default settings to Engineering controls. Authorization: Lai-Kappa-8-Tau. ::Looks around as the lights go off then on:: Self: What was that? ::Goes to a newly reactivated console::
CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::Sighs:: Self: Another problem. ::He walks to a Turbo Lift and enters it. He orders it to the Bridge and waits for it to reach its destination::
Host Deploc says:
::Turns to Nurnick and back to the Captain:: CO: Nurnick not ready to go, Our ship not fixed
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
::Stands:: Nurnick: Fix it yourself.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Keys the activation code for the force field into a PADD and walks over to the XO. Whispers.:: XO: A moment please.
Nurnick says:
::walks up to Deploc and whispers in his hear, once our ship is fixed lets blow this place I  don’t like this place.
CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::The Turbo Lift stops and the doors swish open. He then exits and moves to his chair, stays standing watching Joey and the Pakleds::
Host Deploc says:
Nurnick : You Look at here, then maybe we go. ::Gestures about::
EO_Lt_Lai says:
*XO*: I have no idea, Sir. Assessing now....
FCO_ENS_Hamanari says:
::continues to scan energy field for a breakthrough::
Nurnick says:
CO: fine I fix the  our ship I don’t like this place.
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
Deploc: no, you go now, give him back and get off my ship!
FCO_ENS_Hamanari says:
::looks back at the Captain and Deploc and watches intently::
Host Deploc says:
::Scowls at the Captains words:: CO: You not feel good, you talk as if sick
CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::He listens to the tones of Joey and Deploc and doesn't like what he hears at all::
Host Deploc says:
CO: We look, Chief fix, then we all go
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
Deploc: I am sick of you, and the way you treat me, my crew, and my ship.
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::cringes at the conversation::  CO: Captain...  ::in a warning tone::
Nurnick says:
CO: don’t push us captain  I don’t like the way were being treated.
CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::He looks over at the XO with a look of "This is not going well" and then looks back at the CO::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
Deploc: You will not look, you will stay right here till you return my crew
Host Deploc says:
::Instinctively places hand on his belt and turns away from the captain as if unconcerned::
FCO_ENS_Hamanari says:
::gets nervous at the captain's reaction::
Nurnick says:
::looks at the CNS stop listening to us KNOW::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
Nurnick: ...and don't threaten me on my own bridge
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::Through clenched teeth in a whisper::  CO: Are you about through?  This situation required diplomacy.
Nurnick says:
::makes us mad and you will never see him::
Host CJ-Tala says:
@<Meynok> ::Eyes the device and smiles:: CEO: You fix?
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
::Moves forward and turns Deploc around:: Deploc: My CEO...now...
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::feels a headache coming on and looks at the CNS for help::
CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::Whispers:: CO: Captain this is not the proper approach at all.
Nurnick says:
::you do not threaten my friend or you will never see your crew::
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
@Meynok: Oh yeah, I can fix. But it's going to take a while. I'll need some tools from my ship, first.
FCO_ENS_Hamanari says:
::feels the hostility in the room and gets tense::
Nurnick says:
::grabs deploc and steps away from a sec::
Host CJ-Tala says:
@<Meynok> CEO: No...you fix now. Fix now. You fix...::He almost looks mad and pushes Mash'ev out of the way, pushing controls on the device::
EO_Lt_Lai says:
*XO*: I've got something for you about that power fluctuation...it seems the Pakled vessel is generating some sort of subspace field that is interfering with power systems somehow.
Host Deploc says:
::Looks the Captain in the eye and his tone changes:: CO: Take your hands off. I go when Chief is finished. ::Turns toward Cmdr. Mordane and resumes his previous posture::
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
Nurnick/Deploc: Gentlemen, I am sorry for our anxiety, we are used to dealing with things in a different manner.  Might we try and mend this relationship?
CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::Senses tension from the FCO and feels a little concerned and makes a note to speak with him about it for another time::
Nurnick says:
Deploc :whispers look we don’t have to take this from these people.
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
CTO: beam them to the brig :: turns away::  XO: keep working on getting the CEO back
Host Deploc says:
CO: I like this one better, ::Holds a hand up to Nurnick as he speaks::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::is getting really frustrated with the Pakled's stubborn behaviour, for some reason it reminds her of Trevin's actions as of late::
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
@Meynok: Hey! Wait, I'll fix! I mean, I will repair it. It's just going to take a little time and  :: gently moves Meynok's hands away from the damaged device::  careful attention so that it doesn't break.
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
CTO: Belay that!  CO: Ready room now.  ::looks at her sharply::
CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::His eyes widen as he hears the CO's order:: CO: Captain.. I must protest...
FCO_ENS_Hamanari says:
SO: Maybe we can modulate our sensors to the subspace field to negate it and get a reading on the CEO
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Looks from the CO to XO wondering which order to follow.::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
XO: As you wish, CTO: force field them till we return
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
CNS: You too.  ::anger is in his eyes::
Host Deploc says:
XO: You get her to smile, I give you big gift ::Smiles::
CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::Looks over at the CO and then XO and thinks "This is not going well at all" He then looks over at the CTO and then back at the CO and XO. He nods to the XO::
Host CJ-Tala says:
@<Meynok> CEO: No...you fix now. Fix now. You fix...::He almost looks mad and pushes Mash'ev out of the way, pushing controls on the device::
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::storms into the ready room, and waits for the others::
CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::Follows in after the XO acting calm, knowing he needs to in this situation::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
CO: Aye Captain. :: Hits the button on the padd and implements the force field.::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
::Walks off to her ready room::
FCO_ENS_Hamanari says:
::examines science sensors to determine field distance from the pakled ship::
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::waits for the door to shut, but only just::  CO: What in god's name are you doing?!  Do you want to lose the Chief?
Nurnick says:
::takes out a little device and hides from any so that they cant see what I am doing:: send a unbreakable code to my ship get out of here these people are not nice to us::
Host Deploc says:
::Looks up as the force field activates, and presses something in his belt::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
XO: I should as you the same question,
CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::Stands there and listens to the two::
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - As Meynok and Mash'ev argue over the device, it flares to life, filling the room with a bright purple glow. The Ganymede rocks immediately and the crew is thrown about. Lights got out, and red alert klaxon's blare.
EO_Lt_Lai says:
::Is tossed into the console he was reading at the time:: Self: What now?
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
XO: what now...
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::raises his voice::  Pakled's are not to be underestimated Captain...oh christ, what now?!  CO/CNS: We'll finish this later.
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::is thrown to the floor and she lands on her hand, hard, she is now in pain::
FCO_ENS_Hamanari says:
::falls to floor:: self: What was that!
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
::Walks out to the bridge:: All: report!
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Grabs on to the conn as the shaking starts.:: ALL: Report!
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - Both the Pakled vessel and the Ganymede rock violently as the subspace field that was detected earlier groans exponentially.
CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::Grabs onto the desk:: Self: Wonderful. ::He follows after the CO onto the Bridge::
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::heads out to the bridge, fists clenched::
Host Deploc says:
::IS tossed into Nurnick::
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
@:: Attempts to reach glowing device, to shut it off. ::
Nurnick says:
::wow easy there::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
Deploc: this is your work, what have you done
FCO_ENS_Hamanari says:
CO: Captain would you like me to back away from the Pakled ship.
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::carefully gets up, holding her injured hand::  CTO/CO:  Unknown.  ::as she winces in pain::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
FCO: once we have the chief
CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::He moves to his chair and takes a seat. He keeps a close eye on the Captain::
FCO_ENS_Hamanari says:
CO:  Aye, Captain.
Host Deploc says:
::Finally looks surprised:: CO: This is not of my doing
EO_Lt_Lai says:
*XO*: That field I told you about earlier, Sir? It just got a lot bigger....
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
Deploc: give him back, and I will let you go back to your ship to find out..
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::looks sharply at Nurnick::  Nurnick: And do you deny involvement as well?
FCO_ENS_Hamanari says:
::runs diagnostics on warp and impulse to maintain readiness::
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
*EO*: Any idea of its purpose Lt?
Nurnick says:
:: I had nothing to do with this::
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::looks to the CNS for confirmation on the statements::
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
@::Attempting to concentrate, Mash`ev tries to recall everything he can about Quantum Drive technology. He is convinced that he has seen this before, if only he can put it together before it's too late. ::
EO_Lt_Lai says:
*XO*: It seems to be a pretty good offensive/defensive device, though if that was its intent is hard to know.
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - The Pakleds aboard seemed freaked, and their vessel begins to move off, leaving Deploc and Nurnick behind. At the same time, Mash'ev is beamed back to the Ganymede Engine Room, just in time to find the chaos that's occurring.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Runs a scan of space and sees that the field has increased.:: CO: That subspace field that the SO detected has just grown at exponential rates of what it was before.
CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
CO/XO: They are telling the truth. They do not know what is going on.
Nurnick says:
::our ship::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
XO: status of the CEO..?
EO_Lt_Lai says:
::Hears the sound of a transport, thinking the Pakleds have come back. He turns and sees...Lieutenant Mash'ev?::
Host Deploc says:
::Looks wide eyed at the view screen::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::looks at her hand to see how bad it is injured, and she notices that its starting to swell::
EO_Lt_Lai says:
*XO*:Sir, we've got the Chief.
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
:: Looks about, a little dazed. ::
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
EO: Am I really back?
EO_Lt_Lai says:
*XO*:...and a very large problem.
Host Deploc says:
::Taps a control on his belt furiously::
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
CO: Reports are in that he is returned...
Nurnick says:
::OUR SHIP lefts us noooo::
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
*EO*: Elaborate Lt, and you've got about 10 seconds.
Nurnick says:
::you did this::
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
EO: We've got to get out of here!
EO_Lt_Lai says:
CEO: Yes, Sir. ::Nods:: And just in time. Containment field is collapsing, possibly due to stressors from an unidentifiable subspace field.
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
FCO: try and get us moving now
FCO_ENS_Hamanari says:
CO: Aye Captain.
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - The Ganymede is rocked suddenly one more time, and minor hull fractures are detected on the port side. At the same time, a bright blue light fills the view screen as a subspace tear opens only a few hundred metres off the port bow - could this be the cause of their problems?
EO_Lt_Lai says:
*XO*: Core breach, 5 minutes. Was that in ten, Sir?
FCO_ENS_Hamanari says:
::Engages warp engines at manoeuvres ship away from pakled ship::
Host Deploc says:
::Grasps onto Nurnick as the ship rocks::
CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::Moves his console in front of him and then looks at the screen:: Self: What the...
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
*EO*: Yes, which leaves you 4 minutes and 50 seconds to stop that breach!
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - The Ganymede engines cough, sputter and die - in this field, they're not going anywhere.
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
EO: It's their drive, Lt Lai. They're using Quantum Drive tech in their ship... amongst others.
FCO_ENS_Hamanari says:
CO: Engines are offline!
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
XO: Commander, start evacuation, I’m not risking anyone
Host CJ-Tala says:
<Alezka> XO: We've got a subspace tear forming off the port bow...hull stress is increasing.
EO_Lt_Lai says:
Self: Not my day... ::Hurriedly attempts to contain the breach, hoping to fix it with enough time to seal the fractures on the outer hull::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
CO: Whatever it was has just caused a subspace tear to form.
FCO_ENS_Hamanari says:
::attempts to manoeuvre away with impulse engines::
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
CO: Captain, that's as good as staying here, there's no way escape pods could get far enough away to avoid the breach shockwave, and who knows what will happen when they hit the subspace disturbances.
Host Deploc says:
::Yells to the Captain:: CO: You have good shields?
Host CJ-Tala says:
<Computer> *ALL*: Containment failure in 3 minutes, 45 seconds.
EO_Lt_Lai says:
CEO: Is there any way to get them to stop engaging their engines?
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
CO: Tactical scans are tracking the Pakled. They are moving off but with minimal progress.
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
::Tries to shake the transport effect -- not as clean as Federation technology. Staggers to a nearby console. ::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
XO: trust me will ya, get everyone off now!
CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
CO: I would have to agree with Commander Mordane Captain. ::He listens to them both as he looks up from his console at his chair::
FCO_ENS_Hamanari says:
SO: can we reverse the tractor beams and push the pakled ship away?
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::steels himself, closes his eyes, and follows orders::  *Ganymede*: All hands, abandon ship, repeat, all hands abandon ship.  This is not a drill.
Nurnick says:
::you will not hurt our ship::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
::Looks around the bridge:: All: I said, everyone to the escape pods
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
EO: I tried to disable it but it was locked in some sort of cycle -- I couldn't stop it.
Host CJ-Tala says:
<Alezka> FCO: We can try...but the chances of success are minimal...
FCO_ENS_Hamanari says:
SO: Lets do it now!!
CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::He moves his console to the side and stands up:: CO: That means you as well Captain.
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
:: Tries to stabilize containment systems. ::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::gets a panic look on her face as she remembers her family and prays that Melanie will keep them safe, her thought race as she scrambles to a pod::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
CNS: I will...I need to go.. ::rushes to the TL and calls for her deck:
Host CJ-Tala says:
<Computer> *ALL*: Containment failure in 2 minutes.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Has his orders and begins to move for the escape pods. He stops and waits for Tehya so that they can find the children and Brock and Melanie.::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
<.......thoughts race.......>
FCO_ENS_Hamanari says:
CO: Captain perhaps we can push the pakled ship or ourselves away using the tractor.
Host Deploc says:
::Grabs Nurnick and pushes him toward the lift ::
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - The power reserves on the Ganymede begin to run low...and the ships shields, transporters, life support, tractors...even the core ejection systems begin to shut down.
Nurnick says:
::wow::
CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::Stays on the Bridge for a moment:: All: Lets get a move on people.
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
FCO: No time for last minute heroics Ensign, let's go.
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
::Runs down the corridor to her quarters::
EO_Lt_Lai says:
::Looks at the Chief, wanting to know if he should evacuate as ordered or assist in Engineering still::
FCO_ENS_Hamanari says:
::Stands and goes to the escape pods::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
::Prays the crew hurries::
Nurnick says:
::takes out the little device and hails our ship to get us out of here and fast::
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::last off the bridge, follows the others into the turbolift to the escape pods::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Hurries along with OPS.::
Host CJ-Tala says:
<Alezka> ::He remains on the bridge, determined to think of a solution, running calcs and scans, until he is forced off the bridge, under orders to evacuate::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::stops at Kevin: CTO:  Get in we got no time, Melanie knows what to do, you know that.
CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::He moves quickly:: XO: Any thoughts Commander?
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
::Runs in to Mary, and gathers up the children  and gets Max along the way::
EO_Lt_Lai says:
CEO: Chief, orders?
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
Computer: how is evacuation proceeding?
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
EO: The XO ordered an evacuation, Lt.
Host CJ-Tala says:
<Computer> CO: 45% complete. *ALL*: Containment failure in 1 minute.
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
*CO* We should eject the core while we can, captain.
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::climbs in an escape pod::
EO_Lt_Lai says:
::Nods, and makes his way to the closest escape pod::
FCO_ENS_Hamanari says:
::climbs into an escape pod::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
:: Grabs Mary and rushes to the nearest escape podd, hurrying in::
CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::He moves to an escape pod and gets it to depart from the ship and moves it out fast::
Host Deploc says:
::Drags Nurnick off to one side as the crowd rushes toward the pods:: Nurnick: You get through to them?
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Gets in the escape pod.::
Nurnick says:
::trying::
Nurnick says:
::hails our ship::
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - Emergency escape pods begin to break away from the ship and move off. The Ganymede rocks once more, and a support beam drops in front of Matisse and her children, blocking their main route - they'll have to go around.
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
All: Everyone out. ::Heads for escape pod.::
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::runs down the hall to main engineering::  CEO/EO: Damn you two, eject the core and lets get out of here, enough heroics already.
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
<flip lines>
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::by some miracle, she climbed in a pod that has Brock and Melanie and the kids::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
::Almost screams at the beam and moves to the next closest one::
Nurnick says:
::sends a signal to our ship get us out of here::
FCO_ENS_Hamanari says:
::makes sure everyone is in the escape pod, closes the hatch and launches::
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
:: Keys in console, calling for core ejection. ::  Computer: Eject core.
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
Computer: Crew status now!
Host CJ-Tala says:
<Alezka> ::Runs into Matisse and holds his arms out to take one of her children:: CO: We have to get out of here...now!
Host CJ-Tala says:
<Computer> CO: 94% complete.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Relief floods him as all are present and accounted for. Seals the hatch just before they are launched.::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
SO: agree, run!
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
*XO* I ejected the core, sir. We're making our way to escape pods now.
Host CJ-Tala says:
<Computer> *ALL*: Containment breach in 30 seconds...CEO: Ejection system activated. Ejection in 30 seconds.
CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::He looks and notices Tehya in the same pod as him:: OPS: Looks like we are in for something big. ::He looks over what he can on the console::
EO_Lt_Lai says:
::Enters into a pod and seals the hatch, preparing to break off from the Ganymede::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::is relieved when she sees Kevin that she doesn't notice the CNS in there with them::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
::Makes it into a podd, and gets ready to eject::
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
*XO*: The core isn't going to clear the ship, sir. We have to use the pods and hope the ship protects us.
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - The last few pods break away from the Ganymede, all except for the one occupied by Matisse, Alezka and the Captain's family.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Looks up as he hears the CNS.:: CNS: Glad you could make it Cmdr.
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
SO: thank you Lt..::Tries to make the children safe::
CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
CTO: Yes well now I am hoping everyone else made it. ::He tries to see what he can sense from the others::
EO_Lt_Lai says:
::Looks around at the two other engineers in the ASRV with him. He braces himself as the vessel breaks from its mother ship::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::tries to comfort her kids, who were crying::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
:: Tries to get the podd to eject:: SO: I need help!
Host Deploc says:
Nurnick: Were staying here, Gestures for him to follow::
Nurnick says:
::follows::
Host CJ-Tala says:
<Alezka> CO: The controls are jammed! I'm on it...::He steps out of the pod to activate the manual sequence, hoping to hop back in, in time...
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Takes the thrusters controls and tries to put as much distance between us and the ship as he can.::
Host Deploc says:
::Finds a deserted corridor and  takes a seat against an inner wall::
Nurnick says:
::takes a seat as well::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
::Continues to work on the podd from the inside, trying not the cry::
CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::Monitoring sensors:: CTO: Checking to see how many pods have been ejected and which crewmembers are accounted for::
FCO_ENS_Hamanari says:
::puts the ship in-between the warp core ejection point and the escape pod::
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::curses to himself and hits the side of his pod as it ejects:: Blindly following orders that'll probably get us killed, where did I learn that from.
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - Pods containing Lai, Smith, Ashworth, Mordane and the other members of the senior staff pull away from the Ganymede, and in that instant they watch as the Ganymede slips into the subspace rift - a bright white light fills their sights...
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - ...as the light dims, the crew sees nothing but a star field - the Ganymede, the rift, and even the Pakled vessel are gone...silence reins, and silent cries fill the void of space...
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - ...all pods are accounted for...except for one, the Captain's.
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
:: Looks at the other occupants of his pod, wondering how they're holding up. ::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::looks as her home, and the only home her children has known, disappears::
FCO_ENS_Hamanari says:
::feels numb to the emptiness of space::
CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::Watches the Ganymede disappear::
CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
<Ganymede>
EO_Lt_Lai says:
::Enables the automated distress signal from the pod, and looks out the small view port at the emptiness::
FCO_ENS_Hamanari says:
::shock overcomes him as he activates his distress beacon and stares into space at the other pods::
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::stares at the blank wall as communications come in from the other pods, and a tally is taken by the computer::
EO_Lt_Lai says:
Self: It's times like this I wish I couldn't hear everyone's feelings... ::Sighs, and attempts to link communications to the senior staff::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Watches as the light intensifies and then nothing but stars are left.:: All: She's gone! ::Begins to sob inwardly.::
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
:: Stares at where the Ganymede was, wondering if, somehow, it survived. ::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Activates the emergency beacon.::
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::shakes his head at the flashing "Unaccounted" next to the Captain's pod::  Figures...it always seems to go like this.
FCO_ENS_Hamanari says:
::begins charting the area in his memory and on sensors to find the nearest planet::
CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
CTO: We need to find somewhere to regroup... ::Inside feeling horrible::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::looks at Kevin and puts her uninjured hand on his shoulder::  CTO:  We'll get her back.  ::thinks "I hope"::
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::activates his emergency beacon and scans the area for habitable masses::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
CNS: Send the message please. OPS: I hope so.
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::finding a class M planet within .2 light-years, he sets course and radios the coordinates to the other pods::  Better be friendly...::Grumbles::
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - An array of escape pods drift in space silently, the whole crew is accounted for...minus their Captain, Science Officer, and three children. Today is a sad day indeed, for loss and despair have come to the crew of the fair U.S.S. Ganymede.
