@::Inside the command center on the planet surface, looking at a map of the area perimeter on an extra large PADD and directing relief security teams to their positions::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::sitting in the command chair, sifting through the requests coming in from the colonists ships::

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Down on the planet, walking around with the counselor, concern in her eyes and an uneasiness about her.::

TO_Eldad says:
::Sits at TAC, observing the console while holding a PADD in his right hand and a second PADD in his left hand::

SO_Tilia says:
::monitoring data from the surface::

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: Throughout the former area of the New Wilmington Colony on the planet's surface, hundreds of men and women of various races work to their best ability to reconstruct what was so long ago lost. Every few moments, each of them looks over at the large memorial that towers at the center of the former Colony's location.

CNS_Richardson says:
@::on the surface, watching the settlement activities around them::

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
::stood at Sci One, monitoring the colony and communications from it::

TO_Eldad says:
::Changes his view from the right PADD to the left and then back to his console::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Points to a couple of positions on the PADD while conferring with one of the security team leaders::

CMO_Biishe says:
CNS:  Were there any survivors?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
COMM CTO : Lt. How are things doing down there?

CMO_Biishe says:
@ ::Looks at the memorial for the umpteenth time.::

CNS_Richardson says:
@::lost in thought::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::finishes plotting the course for the perimeter patrol::

CTO_Ryan says:
@COM: XO: Ryan, here, Sir.  I am rotating the security teams now, Sir.  Everything seems quiet and is proceeding accordingly.

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: In orbit, the fifty two freighters and vessels have assumed a pattern which will make beaming down easier. The Paula Greene is nearby for defense if anything surprising should happen.

CNS_Richardson says:
@CMO: No.... they were all lost.... ::her voice sad::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@COMM CTO : Very well.. Keep me apprised.. Amendoeira Out..

CTO_Ryan says:
@COM: XO: Acknowledged.

Host CO_Vakol says:
::in Ten Forward reading a PADD::

CMO_Biishe says:
@CNS:  Tari, I don't understand.  How can they rebuild here then?  There are just as good sites elsewhere that would not disturb the life that has gone.

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Motions for the team leader to dispatch his team to the indicated coordinates::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
*CO* Captain, course laid in for Perimeter patrol,  I am afraid that the good Counselor is not available at the moment though

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Lightly touches her shoulder and points to the memorial::  CNS:  Shinar...

CNS_Richardson says:
@::smiles, sadly:: CMO: Sometimes, rebuilding in the site of a disaster.... it's part of the healing. Showing that you aren't defeated, that you'll go on...

Host CO_Vakol says:
*FCO*: Understood Mister O'Rourke, see her as soon as possible. And continue with the course change.

TO_Eldad says:
Self: Mmm, I guess I should start on the new modulation of the IDF fields ::Turns to look at the SO:: SO: Do you mind helping me with some thing?

Host CO_Vakol says:
::sets one PADD down and switches to another::

Host Shinar says:
@ ::Gazes up at the large statue before him, hands in the pockets of his pants::

CMO_Biishe says:
@CNS:  I would think the memories of others would  haunt those from before.  ::Walks toward the monument.::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
*CO* Aye, sir, initiating now ::pushes a few buttons ::

CNS_Richardson says:
@::doesn't answer, because the answers elude her, as she follows::

Host Shinar says:
ACTION: The Paula Greene breaks orbit, and proceeds on a perimeter sweep course.

TO_Eldad says:
::While waiting for an answer he checks the readings of the reaction converter systems::

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Stops beside Shinar::

CTO_Ryan says:
@ *Sec Team Alpha* Keep your eyes on Shinar.  Don't let him out of your sights.  ::Mumbles about allowing Shinar on the planet surface then continues looking at the perimeter map on the PADD::

CNS_Richardson says:
@::sees Shinar, and stops, a few feet away, unwilling to disturb the quiet of this place::

CTO_Ryan says:
@<Sec Team Alpha> CTO: Aye, Sir.  He's just standing in front of a statue looking at it.

Host Shinar says:
@ ::Feels a presence beside him, and turns away from the tall statue to the CMO:: CMO: 'allo.

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Nods and looks at Shinar curiously::  Shinar:  Something about this touches you in some way?

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::Gathers data on the various debris in orbit ::

TO_Eldad says:
::Frowns at the increase of 1.32% of ZT layers power fluctuation in the IDF sub-73/24 systems::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
~~~~CMO : Love.. We are beginning our perimeter sweep...~~~

CTO_Ryan says:
@<Sec Team Alpha> ::Notices Shinar talking to the CMO and moves in closer::

SO_Tilia says:
::turns to the TO and sees what he is doing:: TO Hum, well of course but you have to be careful because those modulations sometimes impact on other systems

TO_Eldad says:
::Looks up from his PADD: SO: Ma'am?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::tends to all impending requests, and belays them for later, as the ship is moving out of the area::

Host Shinar says:
@ ::Looks at the CMO, then back up at the statue:: CMO: I just think it's a shame ...

Host CO_Vakol says:
::orders himself a second glass of tea and continues his reading:::

CMO_Biishe says:
@~~~~XO:  We are down by the memorial with Shinar~~~~

CMO_Biishe says:
@Shinar:  The lives lost?

SO_Tilia says:
TO: The IDF fields ::points to his console::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Silently wonders why the FCO talked directly to the Captain, with him there.. But dismisses it quickly::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::makes a note to write a report to the CO with a recommendation that the debris should be gathered and placed somewhere safe for the shipping lanes ::

Host Shinar says:
@ ::Thinks about it:: CMO: Yeah, that. I mean, there was no point to it ... those Bolicowse attacked the place for no reason, I mean, they weren't settlin' in or anything ...

CNS_Richardson says:
@::seats herself, on a rock, nearby, remaining quiet::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::rolls eyes:: ~~~CMO : I guess we'll never get rid of him, huh?~~~

TO_Eldad says:
::Nods and looks down, he begins to compensate the power gain by rerouting it to the IDF subsystems and directing it to an endless loop until it will power down. He looks up again:: SO: Well, I increased the power allocations by 5.42% and blocked all access to the other modules in this console ::Frowns::

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Looks over at Tari and then at Shinar.  Quietly.::  Shinar:  There rarely is any logic to life taken forcibly.

Host Shinar says:
@ ::Looks back up at the statue:: CMO: No kidding.

SO_Tilia says:
::nods to the TO:: TO: That should do the trick

CMO_Biishe says:
@~~~~XO:  He is ours for the moment.~~~~

CMO_Biishe says:
@Shinar:  If you could change it all...

TO_Eldad says:
SO: So, are you going to help me? or should I start categorize the subsystems alone one by one?

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Walks out of the command center and looks around then heads over to some of the off duty security teams waiting to transport back to the ship::

CNS_Richardson says:
@:;stands, and moves to join the other two, not speaking, her fingers reaching out to trace the smooth surface of the monument::

Host Shinar says:
@ ::Pulls out a jum-jah stick, and then a small laser scalpel which he "acquired" from sickbay, and uses it to light the end of the stick and takes a smoke:: CMO: Afraid that doesn't work ...

SO_Tilia says:
::shrugs:: TO: Sure I'll help you. If the AT doesn't need us in the mean time of course ::moves over to his console:: TO: Do you know the exact modulation of the field?

Host Shinar says:
ACTION: The putrid scent of the jum-jah stick passes through the nostrils of the CNS & CMO.

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Eyes the laser and snatches it from his hand::  Shinar:  Smoking is not good for your health, or ours for that matter.  ::Waves the laser::  Nor is stealing.

Host Shinar says:
ACTION: The marble surface of the monument feels oddly cold under the CNS' touch.

CNS_Richardson says:
@::wrinkles her nose slightly, and moves downwind of Shinar::

Host CO_Vakol says:
::gathers up his PADD's and leaves the lounge, heading for a turbolift::

Host Shinar says:
@ ::Blinks at the scalpel which has been taken by the CMO::

Host Shinar says:
@ ::Takes another drag of the jum-jah stick:: CMO: Whatever.

CNS_Richardson says:
@:;as she moves to the other side of Shinar, her fingers still trace the surface, and she follows it, around the edge of the monument, still lost in thought::

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Shakes her head at Shinar and walks over toward Tari::  CNS:  I wonder if I will understand that one.  ::Puts the laser into her med kit::

Host Shinar says:
@ ::Blows out the oddly yellow smoke, gestures to the CNS:: CMO: What's wrong with her?

TO_Eldad says:
::Grabs a third PADD from the floor and hands it to the SO:: SO: Hmm, 0x056e4 hex-subsystem is null'ing, we are ready to start

CNS_Richardson says:
@:;drops her hand, and steps back::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::turns back to the tactical station:: TO : Anything on sensors?

Host CO_Vakol says:
::steps into an available lift car:: TL: Deck 38, Main Engineering...

CNS_Richardson says:
@::speaking matter-of-factly, her reverie gone:: CMO: We'd best get back to the colony, I suppose

Host Shinar says:
<Computer> ::Beeps in response, and takes the CO to the specified deck::

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Looks back::  Shinar: Memories.

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Quietly::  CNS: Tari, are you alright?

Host Shinar says:
@ ::Takes another drag, and nods at the CMO as if he understands::

CNS_Richardson says:
@::smiles and nods:: CMO: I'm fine.

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Talks with the off duty security teams as they await transport::

Host CO_Vakol says:
::leaves the lift car and heads towards Main Engineering, wanting to check in with the duty CEO on a handful of various projects they are working on the increase efficiency::

TO_Eldad says:
::Points at a chair:: SO: Let's start? ::Checks the console:: we have 45.21 minutes

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Lays a hand gently on her shoulder and looks closely at her.::

CNS_Richardson says:
@::smiles:: CMO: We'd best get back, I think; make sure the colonists are settling in

CTO_Ryan says:
@COM: PG: Ryan to PG.  My off duty security teams are ready to transport back to the ship.

SO_Tilia says:
::sits next to the TO and looks at the console:: TO: Yes, it should be no problem. how are the other IDF subsystems coming?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
COMM CTO : Sorry Lt., they'll have to wait... We are making our sweep... Will be back shortly..

Host Shinar says:
@ ::Looks back at the partially constructed buildings:: CMO & CNS: Nothing much to settle into yet anyway ...

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Nods her head and turns around, with a glance behind her::  CNS:  I feel like we should be doing something more.... in tradition with this planet. But I don't know what that would be.

CTO_Ryan says:
@COM: PG: Acknowledged.

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Glances back at Shinar.::    Shinar:  There will be sooner then you think.

Host CO_Vakol says:
::checks in with the CEO and hands him a few PADD's on modifications to increase efficiency ... some of the latest things from Starfleet Engineering journals and so on::

CNS_Richardson says:
@::grins at Shinar:: Shinar: Well, we can at least check on the progress

TO_Eldad says:
::Turns to look at the XO, he changes the screen on the console and presses a few buttons quickly pulling data from the ship sensor array:: XO: No thing but stars and an occasional space dust, sir.

Host Shinar says:
@ ::Shrugs:: CNS: I think I'll just walk around ... ::Gestures a thumbs up with both of his hands:: ... but you two have fun.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
TO : Good... You seemed lost there for a second.. Anything wrong?

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Looks back at her weary teams:: Sec Teams: Well, I guess you're all stuck here until the ship returns from the security sweeps.  There is food in those lockers over there.  ::Points::  Help yourselves.  ::turns and heads back to the command center::

CNS_Richardson says:
@::nods:: Shinar: Stay out of trouble, ok? ::grins again::

Host Shinar says:
@ ::Nods, and walks over, mumbling:: Trouble ... yeah ...

CMO_Biishe says:
@CNS:  Shinar and trouble seem to be synonymous these days.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
FCO : How long till we return to orbit?

TO_Eldad says:
XO: Well, star fleet regulations for a stricter tactical systems handling is forcing me to work around the clock, sir.

Host CO_Vakol says:
::steps back into the turbolift:: TL: Deck 8...

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::chuckles:: TO : Carry on then..

SO_Tilia says:
TO: For some reason sensors tend to show things only when its too late. 

CNS_Richardson says:
@::shakes her head, watching a moment, before she turns back to the compound:: CMO: Shall we?

CMO_Biishe says:
@ ::Picks up a ball that rolls in front of her and looks around for the owner.::

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: A little girl giggles as the CMO picks up her ball. She is Andorian.

CNS_Richardson says:
@::looks a little surprised::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
XO: We are in a perimeter patrol ordered by the CO , sir

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Seeing a couple of children, tosses it back to the a little Andorian while is laughing.::  CNS:  Any place in mind?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
FCO :  I know.. How long will it take us?

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Andorian Girl> @ ::Catches the ball, and goes back to play with the other colonist children whose parents are off working::

TO_Eldad says:
SO: Don't I know it. Now, the IDF subsystem 1/345 is being diagnosed now. We should start on the phase capacitor systems and then move downwards in the hex system. Of course if you have a better idea?

CNS_Richardson says:
@CMO: I just need to make some rounds, see how people are settling in around here

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::pushes some buttons :: XO: We could be back in standard orbit in 2 Minutes , safely, sir

Host CO_Vakol says:
::gets out of the turbolift and heads towards his private quarters, exhausted after a long day::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Enters the command center and pulls out a field ration pack from her tactical bag.  Tears open the field ration bag and takes a bite, grimacing at the taste::

CMO_Biishe says:
@CNS:  Lets stay close to the monument.  And then... ::Eyes her::  Lunch afterwards.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::shakes his head:: FCO : No, no... You didn't understand me... How long will the patrol sweep take? I just want to inform the Planet on when to expect us back..

SO_Tilia says:
TO: No, that seams quite reasonable. I'll start working on restarting the capacitor. You begin the diagnostic and update

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Mumbles out loud to herself::  After all these centuries, you'd think they would learn how to make better tasting field rations.

CNS_Richardson says:
@::stops, and looks at the CMO:: CMO: Why stay here? It's a monument... and a little depressing.. I'd rather see how the colonists are coming along.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
XO: Ahhh, ::checks data:: Approximately 3 minutes , 45 seconds, Commander

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::smiles:: FCO : Thank you..

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::taps his fingers on the arm of the comand chair::

Host CO_Vakol says:
::steps into his quarters and undoes his duty tunic, heading over towards his desk to drop off his PADD's::

CMO_Biishe says:
@CNS:  No, I mean the people around the monument. ::Looks down as she tries to find the words to explain.::  The monument was built were the largest number of people were killed.  ::Looks up and waves her hand outward.:: Near here, people will be most affected if...  Just we can start with the people closest to this area.

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Takes another bite of the field ration, then sets it down on the table, turning to look at the PADD again and double checking the perimeter check points::

TO_Eldad says:
::Nods at the SO and begins executing subsystems diagnostics::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
XO:  One thing to note though, we will only be in Transporter range for about 2 Minutes though

CNS_Richardson says:
@::understands, and nods:: CMO: Let's go, then, we'll start with the children ::smiles, as she watches the group playing near:: Though they seem to be adjusting well.

SO_Tilia says:
::looks at the XO and the rest of the bridge crew:: TO: Maybe this wasn’t the best time to do this

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Smiles in relief, it was hard to explain old traditions in such a 'modern' world.::  CNS:  Sounds good to me.  I miss my children.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
FCO : Well.. We've have to coordinate the shift change with the surface..

CNS_Richardson says:
@::smiles, somewhat sadly:: CMO: They'll be fine; children always seem to adjust easily

FCO_O`Rourke says:
XO: AYe, Sir, my best guess is that it would probably be done on the next pass

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
COMM CTO : Lt. Have your men ready themselves.. We will be back in 3minutes, but only for a short time.. If you want to effect the Shift change, have your crew all ready for beam up them. We will ready their replacements up here..

Host CO_Vakol says:
::decides to pass on dinner, and sits behind his desk looking at the latest from the FNS::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
FCO : Very well..

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
TO : Prepare a security complement to beam down to the planet to replace the ones beaming in..

CNS_Richardson says:
@:;sets off, toward the group of children, watching them as she approaches::

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Sighs::  CNS:  My mother says they are taking well to the more traditional life.  I am envious...  ::Stops by the children.::

CTO_Ryan says:
@COM: XO: Acknowledged.  I will split the teams into two groups.  Delta and Beta.

TO_Eldad says:
:Turns to where she is looking:: SO: Try telling that to Starfleet

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Paula Greene suddenly lurches to a stop.

CNS_Richardson says:
@::stops near the children, and sits, preferring to observe them, as they play, for a bit::

CTO_Ryan says:
@ *Sec Teams* Form two groups and prepare to return to the ship.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::Tries to see what the heck ::

Host CO_Vakol says:
::stumbles across his quarters into the far wall::

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
::falls backwards onto the tactical console::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::frowns, grabbing the arms of the chair:: FCO, TO Report...

Host CO_Vakol says:
::looks at the furniture in his quarters and notes it all shifted a foot or so:: *XO*: Report in, Commander.

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Sits down next to the counselor and pulls out her medical tricorder, placing it in her lap to run unobtrusively.::

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: Sensors start beeping wildly.

Host CO_Vakol says:
::zips up his duty jacket and hurries out into the corridor outside his quarters heading for a turbolift::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
*CO* : Captain, we've stopped for some reason.. Trying to find out why now, sir..

CTO_Ryan says:
<Off duty Sec Teams> @ *CTO* Acknowledged.  ::Begins to position into two groups and prepares for transport::

CNS_Richardson says:
@::smiles:: CMO: Playing, as children will ... Looks like they're adjusting fine

Host CO_Vakol says:
*XO*: I'm on my way... ::steps into a turbolift:: TL: Bridge...

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
::picks herself up, and runs back to Science 1::  XO: Sensors are being disrupted, sir.  I can't get any accurate readings.

SO_Tilia says:
::goes back to sci 2 when she sees something blinking::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
XO: Indicators are we have been stopped, dead in space, but something is affecting the Impulse engines

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: All telepaths in the star system begin to feel "something," but they cannot identify it.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::gets up from the center chair::  Bridge : gentleman.. What just happened?

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Paula Greene begins to shake.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
FCO : What do you mean something? ::steadies himself as the ship starts to shake::

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
::grabs on to her console as the ship begins to shake::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::checks readings more carefully :: SO: I show Massive subspace distortions, Confirm ?

Host CO_Vakol says:
::his lift arrives at the bridge and he steps out:: FCO: Mister O'Rourke, relative stop... TO: Shields up. CSO: Report, Mister van den Broek.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
SO : Is anything out there?

SO_Tilia says:
CSO: Whatever it is its not just affecting sensors ...

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: On the viewscreen, space seems to waver ... a subspace rift is forming.

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
SO: What do you mean?

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Looks up at the skies::  CNS:  Tari, something is wrong.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::nods at the Captain, and sits on the XO's chair::

Host CO_Vakol says:
::moves down to the command deck and glances at the view screen:: FCO: Do we still have warp?

SO_Tilia says:
FCO: Confirmed, they seam to be causing the ship to shake as well

CMO_Biishe says:
@~~~~XO:  Husband?~~~~

CTO_Ryan says:
@::turns and sits down at the table, picking up the rest of the field ration and finishing it off.  Tosses the empty bag into a nearby waste container::

SO_Tilia says:
CSO: The same phenomenon must be affecting both sensors and navigation 

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The CMO's telepathic words cannot get through ... there is interference.

CNS_Richardson says:
@::looks at the CMO:: CMO: What? ::looks skyward:: It looks fine to me, what is it?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@~~~Aurora : Aurora?~~~ ::frowns::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: Whatever it is is affecting the Engines entirely.. we have neither warp nor impulse

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: Suddenly, a brilliant burst of red and white energy sears the space in front of the Paula Greene ... a rift has opened.

CMO_Biishe says:
@CNS:  For a moment, I felt surprise and concern.  ::Looks at Tari concerned::  I don't seem to be getting through to Tealk.

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
SO: See if you can get Engineering to get our sensors back online.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::protects his eyes from the burst, before the PG's filters come into play

Host CO_Vakol says:
XO: Inform the away team of our situation. ::sits in his chair:: FCO: We need those engines back, Mister O'Rourke.

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: White light shines out of the rift, illuminating the Paula Greene. The viewscreen compensates for the increased light.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CO : Aye sir..

CNS_Richardson says:
@:;tilts her head:: CMO: Perhaps the ship is just out of range

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Taps her comm. badge::  COMM:  XO:  Tealk, please respond.

Host CO_Vakol says:
CSO: Mister van den Broek, slave Tactical to your console and raise our shields.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
COMM CTO : Lt.. Some kind of rift has opened before us.. We have lost engine power, and can't move... Ready yourselves for anything...

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: In touch with Engineering, they say they are on it. Perhaps the SO can figure out a shield frequency to block it ?

CTO_Ryan says:
@<Security groups Beta and Delta>  ::Stand around waiting for the beam out::

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: Telepaths in the star system begin to get an extreme feeling that "something" is coming this way.

SO_Tilia says:
::tries scanning the rift, for some reason she thinks something must be coming through::

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Raises eyebrow::  CNS:  Of a marriage bond?

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The XO's comm. signal doesn't get through.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::waits for a response, noting none:: SO : Are our communications working?

CNS_Richardson says:
@::grins, trying to project an air of reassurance:: CMO: I wouldn't know about such

Host CO_Vakol says:
::glances back and notices the TO is standing their in fright:: XO: Take over Tactical, Commander.

SO_Tilia says:
FCO: I can try to find one but it won't be easy

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
::tries to see if sensors will read what's coming through that rift::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Picks up a garbled communication:: COM: PG: Please repeat.  You're communication is breaking up.  I repeat...please increase your communications power. You’re breaking up. 

CMO_Biishe says:
::Stands up::  CNS:  They are not replying.  Lets find the CTO.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
SO: Anything will be a help

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
XO: Aye, sir.  ::runs to Tactical and tries to raise the shields::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CO : Yes sir.. ::moves up to the Tactical console:: TO : Sorry Mister...

SO_Tilia says:
XO: communications are being disrupted as well

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::punches a few buttons::

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: Suddenly, the red and white rift surges ... and a gigantic elongated vessel comes out, it's hull is golden and brown ... spires come out of it's sides at various locations. The vessel is as long as half of Earth's moon.

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
::moves back to Science 1 on the Captain's order to Amendoeira::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CO : Shields are up, Ship is in Red Alert status..

SO_Tilia says:
::nods to the FCO and starts working on the shield frequency to match that of the subspace disturbances::

Host CO_Vakol says:
XO: Bring our weapons to standby ... CSO: Begin transmitting friendship messages. All languages, all frequencies...

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The vessel comes flying toward the Paula Greene.

Host CO_Vakol says:
FCO: Decompress main shuttlebay, blow us out of that ship's path.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::what the....:: CO : Phaser banks charged, Photon torpedo launcher loaded and ready

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CO: Transmitting.

CMO_Biishe says:
*CTO*: Where are you located?

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CO: Sir, that vessel is about the radius of our moon.

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: A moment after the vessel's exit, the rift closes ... interference on all levels ceases abruptly.

Host CO_Vakol says:
::mutters under his breath:: Self: Big ship...

SO_Tilia says:
::scans the vessel, passive scans only::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::Switches to the OPS part of the controls and  after being sure that no-one is in the shuttle bay "blows" the air out of the bay ::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Stands and rushes out of the command center towards the waiting security teams:: Sec Teams Beta/Delta:  Something is wrong.  We have lost communications with the PG.  Proceed to your previous posts to reinforce the perimeter.  Move out!

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::suddenly feels his wife again:: ~~~Aurora : Love? Something appeared from a rift... It's big.. very big..

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The giant vessel nearly collides with the Paula Greene, but the main shuttle bay's decompression maneuvers it out of the way just in time. The vessel slowly spins away.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::Starts evasive maneuvers::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
COMM CTO : Lt.? Can you hear me?

CNS_Richardson says:
@:;moves after the CMO:: CMO: We should perhaps shoo the children towards the camps; I don’t like leaving them here.

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Pauses:: ~~~~XO:  Are you and the ship alright?~~~~

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: Evasives initiated !

CTO_Ryan says:
@<Sec Teams Beta/Delta> ::Grab their equipment and move out quickly::

Host CO_Vakol says:
::feels the ship lurch, as the explosive decompression of the shuttlebay pushes them out of the path of the approaching ship:: FCO: Can we engage a pursuit course?

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CO: It's moved itself out of the way, sir.

CMO_Biishe says:
@CNS:  Yes, lets do.  A large ship just showed.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
~~~CMO : The engines are dead, but we've managed to move out of the way of that ship...~~~

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The gigantic vessel's spin slowly begins to end.

CNS_Richardson says:
@::stops, and heads back toward the children, reassuringly herding them back towards the encampments::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: Tracking her trajectory

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: Aye, sir

CMO_Biishe says:
@~~~~XO:  Should we warn the planet?~~~~

CTO_Ryan says:
@COM: PG: XO: Yes, Sir, I am reading you.  What is going on?

Host CO_Vakol says:
::glances at van den Broek:: CSO: Scan that vessel for life signs...

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::changes course rapidly  to follow the big beast::

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CO: Aye, sir.  ::initiates scan::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
COMM CTO : Lt. Ready your teams.. Put them on alert.. We don't want yo to be surprised.. have the colonists beam back to their ships of origin, and get them ready to depart...

Host CO_Vakol says:
FCO: Engage pursuit course ... XO: Advise our teams on the surface to stand by for now.

CNS_Richardson says:
@::picks up one of the smaller children, as the rest mill around them, guiding them back toward the shelters::

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Tries again to reach the CTO::  *CTO*: Sarina, do you read me?

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: Aye, sir ::smiles to himself::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
COMM CTO : Belay that.. Stand by for now..

Host CO_Vakol says:
XO: Commander, if that vessel had appeared in any other fashion, I would think it was floundering.

SO_Tilia says:
CSO/CO: I detect no life signs from the vessel

CTO_Ryan says:
@COM: PG: XO: I have already reinforced the perimeter with the off duty security teams, Sir.  I will alert the colonists immediately.  Ryan, out.

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The giant vessel finally slows to a halt.

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
::looks at Tilia::  SO: Nothing?

CTO_Ryan says:
@COM: PG: XO: Acknowledged. Standing by, sir. 

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CO : Aye sir....

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: Should I hold station aft of her ?

SO_Tilia says:
::checks the LCARS system trying to identify the ship::

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Gently moves one of the older children along.::

SO_Tilia says:
CSO: None that sensors can recognize

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CO : I just think we should evacuate the colonists onto their ships... IF they need to make a run for it...

Host CO_Vakol says:
FCO: Yes, Mister O'Rourke. FCO/CSO: Can we take it in a tractor beam?

CNS_Richardson says:
@::continues speaking to the children, laughing with them as they go, sounding reassuring::

SO_Tilia says:
CSO: I'm trying to identify the ship, the computer is processing the request

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@SO, TO : Any response to our hails?

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::slows the ship to station keeping  5KM behind the leviathan::

Host CO_Vakol says:
XO: This is there new home, Mister Amendoeira. They'll have to handle things for themselves eventually without tucking tail and running every time something comes up. Might as well start now.

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CO: Captain, you're forgetting how large that ship is.

SO_Tilia says:
::waits::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CO : Aye sir...

SO_Tilia says:
XO: Nothing sir, no response, no change in behavior

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Bends to pick up the ball, wondering what was going on up there.::

CTO_Ryan says:
@*CMO* Yes, Doctor, I read you.

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: Shadows cover the Paula Greene as the massive vessel blocks the sunlight of the system's star.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
SO : Do we have sensors back online If so, what are you reading from it?

Host CO_Vakol says:
CSO: No, Mister van den Broek, I am not ... I am asking you to use your specialty. Now find a way to bring that vessel to a stop and work with Mister O'Rourke.

SO_Tilia says:
XO: I detect no life signs from it ... the computer has just identified the ship ::checks the results::

CMO_Biishe says:
@*CTO*:  There seems to be something going on with the Paula Greene.  Have you spoken with them yet?

CNS_Richardson says:
@::nears the encampments, and watches as the children run off to their various homes::

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CO: There's no way a tractor beam would work, Captain.

Host CO_Vakol says:
::glances at Tilia, waiting::

Host CO_Vakol says:
::glares at the CSO:: CSO: So find something else.

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CO: Er, yes, sir.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
SO : Let me guess... Bellicose?

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::wonders if 5 Quantums would work on that large a ship to slow her ::

CNS_Richardson says:
@::puts down the child she's carrying, and with a slight pat to the rump, sends her off to follow after the others::

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Tosses the ball to one of the children with his arms open to catch it.::

SO_Tilia says:
XO/CO/CSO: The computer identified that ship as the Algeron Device. Information on this vessel has been classified by Starfleet command, Starfleet intelligence and the department of temporal investigations ...

CTO_Ryan says:
@*CMO* Affirmative, Doctor, however I am unclear of what exactly is going on.  I have reinforced the perimeter with my off duty sec personnel, and have been instructed to stand by.  Perhaps you and the Counselor should return to the command center as a precaution.

SO_Tilia says:
XO: Perhaps it would be better if it was the bellicose ...

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::raises an eyebrow, then look at the Captain::

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CO: We'll need that information if we're to stop it, sir.

Host CO_Vakol says:
::frowns:: CSO: You have better get on the channel to Starfleet Command.

SO_Tilia says:
::looks at the word temporal and gulps::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CO : Contact SF? ::smiles::

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Nods::  *CTO*:  We will meet you there.

CMO_Biishe says:
@CNS:  Tari...

CNS_Richardson says:
@::overhears, and nods to the CMO:: CMO: Let's go on in.

CTO_Ryan says:
@*CMO* Acknowledged.

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CO: Yes, sir.  ::opens a channel to Starfleet::

CNS_Richardson says:
@::stops, to listen::

Host CO_Vakol says:
All: As of this moment, this entire sector is on quarantine. FCO: See to it that marker buoys are deployed for approaching vessels, use shuttles if necessary.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: Aye , sir

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::Makes arrangements for probes to be loaded with markers ::

Host CO_Vakol says:
XO: For now we'll leave our teams on the surface ... but the colonists are not to be made aware of this turn of events, understood?

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Moves in the direction of the command center::  CNS:  I do not like being in the dark.

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CO: Captain, I've sent a message to Starfleet, appraising them of the situation.  But it will take 6 hours to receive a reply.

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: Telepaths in the system now feel the presence of some enormous mind.

CNS_Richardson says:
@::nods again:: CMO: Nor do I. Let's head in; the children should be safe here.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CO : Aye sir.. But they will eventually want to know what happened on that blackout..

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: 8 Markers loaded into Mark VIIs, ready to fire

Host CO_Vakol says:
::frowns darkly at that thought:: CSO: Are their any SFI vessels in the vicinity?

SO_Tilia says:
::checks the results again, then turns to scan the vessel but stops before she does so::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Moves to a few security officers in the command center and tells them to take up defensive positions outside the command center::

Host CO_Vakol says:
XO: On second thought, perhaps we should bring our senior officers back to the ship. We can leave security teams on the surface.

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CSO: There's no way we would know that, Captain.  They're Intelligence.....

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::nods:: CO : Yes sir... And get things back to normal in the eyes of the colonists, anyways.. We were scheduled to return..

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: Fire, sir ?

Host CO_Vakol says:
::notes that is twice van den Broek has been borderline insolent:: CSO: Nearest deep space outpost?

Host CO_Vakol says:
FCO: Absolutely not, Mister O'Rourke!

SO_Tilia says:
CSO: Considering the information on the ship is classified .. should we continue scans sir?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CO : Sir.. That name.... Algernon... I heard it before..

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: Aye, sir, Markers will not be placed

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CO: The nearest outpost is Arcadia Station, sir.

Host CO_Vakol says:
XO: Speak up, Mister Amendoeira.

SO_Tilia says:
::looks at the XO::

Host CO_Vakol says:
FCO: Launch the markers, Mister O'Rourke ... I do not want you firing on that vessel.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::nods, while trying to remember:: CO : A friend of mine once mentioned it to me... She didn't go into details, just that she had had a hard time with it..

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Steps into the center, looking around for the CTO::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: Aye sir, Firing the probes with the Marker buoys

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::Fires probes ::

Host CO_Vakol says:
CSO: Set up a direct communication link between the Captain of Arcadia and my Ready Room. Captain's eyes only.

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Turns to see the CMO enter the command center and motions her to a chair::  CMO: Welcome, Doctor.

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Paula Greene launches a series of warning buoys to ward off any additional starships from this system.

CMO_Biishe says:
@CTO:  Any further news?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CO : And now we wait, sir?

Host CO_Vakol says:
.XO: Recover our senior officers and brief them on the situation. I will be in the my Ready Room... ::glances at the CSO:: CSO: Who will I be talking to?

CNS_Richardson says:
@::decides to stay outside the shelter, near the doorway, watching the landscape around them::

CTO_Ryan says:
@CMO: Negative, Doctor.  I am still awaiting further orders.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
~~~CMO : Aurora... Tell the CTO to keep things normal.. We mustn’t let the colonists know something is wrong..~~~

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CO : Aye sir.. FCO : Lt.. Take us back into orbit..

CMO_Biishe says:
@~~~~XO:  I will do that.~~~~

CMO_Biishe says:
@CTO:  The commander asks that we keep things normal and this information from the colonists for now.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
XO: Aye Sir ::punches the buttons to initiate :: Eta 3 minutes

CTO_Ryan says:
@CMO: Acknowledged, thank you.  I will keep the enhanced security in place as a precaution.

CMO_Biishe says:
@::Nods and turns to look at Tari::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Turns and walks to the door:: CNS: Counselor, I believe you will be safer in here.
