Last time, on ACTD: Paula Greene...

Host ScottB says:
The crew continued on evacuation plans, while the CSO found unnatural causes to the sun's demise...

Host ScottB says:
As investigations continued aboard-ship, a self-described Disciple of the Supreme Father attempted to escape from Jantami II's surface.

Host ScottB says:
His attempts failed while committing suicide by running his ship into the Jantami star, in order to escape capture

Host ScottB says:
And now, the continuation...

CTO_Ryan says:
::Turns tactical one over to a relief officer and walks into the turbolift:: Computer: Sickbay.

CSO_Tsalea says:
::Walks over to her husband, PADD  in one hand.::

Host CO_Madred says:
::throws the duffel over his shoulder and walks towards Commander Tsalea:: CSO: You had an idea on how to slow down the decay of the Jantami star, right?

CIV_Doile says:

CSO_Tsalea says:
::Hands him the PADD::  CO:  Yes.

Host CO_Madred says:
::walks out of the shuttlebay with her, taking the PADD from her hand:: CSO: Good. Cause you're going to get your chance to employ it.

OPS_Baley says:
::working at his console, trying to see how best to fit the most evacuees aboard::

Host CO_Madred says:
::heads down towards the nearest turbolift trying to read the data PADD:: CSO: Tell me what I am reading...

CSO_Tsalea says:
CO:  It will be limited.

Ili_Throki says:
::helps Promdi to go to sickbay to rest since he seemed so ill from the radiation poisoning.::

Host ScottB says:
ACTION: Four hours have passed. The USS Death Valley arrives on the outer edges of the Jantami star system, ETA 12 minutes.

CSO_Tsalea says:
CO:  Basically, what we will be doing, is creating our own mini fusion within the sun.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Exits the turbolift and walks a short distance to Sickbay, entering as the doors slide open::

Host ScottB says:
ACTION: The supply convoy containing the Nordronium reports arrival within the next half hour

Nichura_Promdi says:
::smiles at Ili:: Throki: Thank you for your concern, Ili. You've been a great help.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::prepares data packet to send to Death Valley::

Host CO_Madred says:
::steps into the lift:: TL: Bridge... CSO: Isn't that what caused the problem to begin with?

CIV_Doile says:
::thinks to himself:  Wow!  Four hours worth of messages!  How long have I been in here?::

CSO_Tsalea says:
CO:  No.  What created the problem was a combination of molecules combining to speed up the normal process within a star.

OPS_Baley says:
*CO* Captain, I'm checking on the best way to get the evacuees aboard, and have come up with a recommendation. However, I need your authorization on it.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
OPS: I have a packet to send to the Death Valley containing the orbital parameters and such, could you send it?

Ili_Throki says:
Promdi: It's my job.  ::comes back with a tea::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Looks around quickly and finds the guests behind a bio containment field.  Walks over to them:: Promdi: How are you holding up forecouncilman?

Host CO_Madred says:
*OPS*: Understood Mister Baley, I'm on my way to the bridge ... have an ETA on the Death Valley waiting when I arrive. CSO: So you think this fusion situation will slow down the star’s decay? You've run simulations, I presume?

OPS_Baley says:
FCO: No problem, just shunt it across to my terminal and I'll see to it

CIV_Doile says:
::sees the message to report to the bridge and decides to go ahead and do that since there's nothing left to do here.::

Nichura_Promdi says:

Host CO_Madred says:

Nichura_Promdi says:

OPS_Baley says:
::hopes the FCO is still grinning once he hears of the plan he's about to give the CO::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Taps her PADD:: Promdi/Throki: What do you know of a group called the Angels of Mercy?

CSO_Tsalea says:
CO:  Yes.  If the genesis team had been able to command better their creation, it would be a possibility.  But as it is, this is what we have to work with.  The probability is 1:2

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::hopes no one gives the CO a weird plan that will result in their unneeded deaths ::

Host CO_Madred says:
::frowns:: CSO: And what are the chances of us actually speeding up the decay?

CEO_Hull says:
::Makes computer simulations on the solar winds and the multiphasic shielding::

Ili_Throki says:
::looks down at Promdi for the answer::

CSO_Tsalea says:
CO:  None.  This should not in any way affect the current process.

Nichura_Promdi says:
::frowns:: CTO: More than I would like. Do you suspect them?

Host CO_Madred says:
::turbolift arrives at the bridge and he steps out followed by Tsalea:: CSO: Good enough for me .. carry out your plan. Liaise with Mister Doile as necessary. ::turns to the OPS station:: OPS: My Ready Room, Mister Baley...

CSO_Tsalea says:
::nods::

Host CO_Madred says:
::walks across the bridge quickly, tossing his duffel under the Captain's chair before heading into his Ready Room to be followed by Baley::

Ili_Throki says:
CTO: They are... a radical group determined to stop us from joining the Federation...  Angel of Mercy indeed.  They sabotage... they... do whatever it is necessary...

OPS_Baley says:
::nods to the CO, and turns his station over to an Ensign before following the CO into the Ready Room::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Looks to Promdi:: Promdi: We have reason to believe they are behind the collapse of the star and the impending demise of your people.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Taps the PADD:: Throki: And what do you believe their motive is?

CSO_Tsalea says:
*CIV*:  Mr Doile.  Your presence is requested on the bridge.

Nichura_Promdi says:
::looks disturbed by this:: CTO/Throki: They are malcontents... fanatics perhaps. but to go so far as to doom their own people?

Host CO_Madred says:
::walks into his Ready Room and crosses over towards his replicator ordering a class of kava juice:: OPS: What's the situation, Mister Baley?

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::watches the OPS leave to the RR and turns back to his boards::

OPS_Baley says:
CO: Sir, I won't waste too much of your time with this. I just need your authorization on this. In order to keep the crew operating at a working efficiency while maximizing space for evacuees, I suggest we move all of the senior officers into shared enlisted crew quarters to make their cabins available.

Host ScottB says:
<Death Valley> @ COM: Paula Greene: Paula Greene this is the Death Valley. We are now passing Jantami III and increasing to full impulse to rendezvous. New ETA is 3 minutes.

Host CO_Madred says:
::sips at his juice and regards Mister Baley:: OPS: What's the nearest M Class planetoid?

Ili_Throki says:
CTO: Well... they don't like the idea of... species mixing together.  They are afraid our culture... and how we do things will disappear once we are members of the Federation.

CEO_Hull says:
::waiting for the simulation to complete::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
COMM: Death Valley: acknowledged

OPS_Baley says:
CO: Without checking at my station I can't be sure, but I believe there's a system about four days away at maximum sustainable warp.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
*CO* Sir, we just had a comm from Death Valley they are upping their speed ETA is now… 2 minutes

Ili_Throki says:
::puts a hand on Promdi to calm him down:: Promdi: They have a goal, councilman.  And they have no other cause in life.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: Throki: And who makes up this group?  People from your own species?

Nichura_Promdi says:
::only nods at Ryan::

Ili_Throki says:
CTO: Sadly... yes.  They also call themselves the Disciples of the Supreme Father...

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::tracks the Death Valley as it comes in ::

Host CO_Madred says:
::nods and looks at the deck:: OPS: ...so we can't simply remain on duty then. ::glances out his window and sighs as he takes another sip of his kava juice:: OPS: Okay, spread the word ... senior officers bunking in whatever space they can find.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Taps the PADD again:: Throki: The same group has two names or are these separate factions?

OPS_Baley says:
CO: Aye, sir. I'll get on it right away. Permission to leave, sir?

Host CO_Madred says:
::nods and chuckles:: OPS: You're dismissed, Mister Baley.

OPS_Baley says:
::nods to the CO, turns on his heel, and leaves the room back to his station on the bridge::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
*CO* The Death Valley is establishing orbit now

Host CO_Madred says:
::heads over towards his window and stares out at the planetoid below the Paula Greene mulling over in his mind what kind of crazy would do this to an entire planet's population::

CSO_Tsalea says:
::Waiting for the civilians response, reviews the current data.::

Ili_Throki says:
CTO: The Angel of Mercy is a group within the Disciples of Supreme Father.

CEO_Hull says:
::Computer simulation ends with 80% protection, Hull makes additional changes to the program and re runs the simulation::

OPS_Baley says:
::quickly composes a quick message to all crew via the internal network telling them of the accommodation arrangements, winces, and hits send::

CTO_Ryan says:
Throki/Promdi: I find it interesting that this group, made up of people of your own species would destroy their own people.  Why not just try to over throw the government officials?

CIV_Doile says:
*CSO*:  ::mouth full of food::  I'll be there as soon as I can.

Ili_Throki says:
CTO: I believe.. the Angel of Mercy is some sort of supplier ...  ::looks at Promdi for clarification.::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::glances down at the message:: OPS: What if I have others move in with me?

CSO_Tsalea says:
*CIV*:  Are you well?

Ili_Throki says:
CTO: They've tried.  They failed.

Host CO_Madred says:
::sets his glass of Kava juice on his desk and turns to head back to the bridge:: FCO: Mister O'Rourke ... you're with me. CSO: Commander, you have the bridge. Carry out your plan to increase the life expectancy of the Jantami star. I'll be in sickbay in you need me.

Nichura_Promdi says:
CTO/Throki: All of the investigations I called for have come up empty. They simply know our security methods too well. As for why they would do such a thing, this question has kept me awake for some time.

CSO_Tsalea says:
CO:  One moment.

CIV_Doile says:
::sighs as he has just taken another mouthful of food::  *CSO*:  Why must you ask me questions right after I take a bite of lunch?

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::rises as he calls for relief::

Host CO_Madred says:
::stops short of the turbolift door:: CSO: What is it, Tsalea?

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::leaves the station with his replacement::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Nods:: Throki/Promdi: They failed so now they decide to destroy the entire population of the planet?  Their own people, friends, family?

CSO_Tsalea says:
::Quietly::  CO: The sun has reached 190 Kelvin.  Critical is at 220 Kelvin.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::Stops with the CO::

Ili_Throki says:
CTO: Hate is a strong motivation, sir.

Host CO_Madred says:
::moves closer to her station:: CSO: How long?

Host ScottB says:
<Convoy> % COM: Paula Greene: Nordronium convoy ETA is 10 minutes. We are now preparing the insertion torpedoes for deployment upon arrival.

CIV_Doile says:
::grabs his sandwich and leaves the lounge::

CTO_Ryan says:
Throki: Apparently.  How many members comprise this group?

CSO_Tsalea says:
CO: At the current rate, 24 hours, 13 min, 24 seconds.

Nichura_Promdi says:
CTO: We were never able to determine that. As few as a hundred. As many as thousands.

CIV_Doile says:
::enters the turbolift::

Ili_Throki says:
::nods in agreement::  CTO: We've tried to find them.. but.. they've always managed to slip through our fingers..

OPS_Baley says:
CSO: Commander, are there any preparations you'd like me to put into place for the Nordronium convoy?

Host CO_Madred says:
:;sighs and looks at O'Rourke:: FCO/CSO: Then whatever we are going to do, we better do it quickly. ::waves O'Rourke to join him and steps into the turbolift::

CSO_Tsalea says:
::nods and steps back.::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::steps into the Turbolift::

CSO_Tsalea says:
*CIV*:  Lunch will wait.

Nichura_Promdi says:
::almost drops the cup but manages to steady it before anyone notices::

CEO_Hull says:
::Computer simulation completes, with 98.2 effectiveness::  CO:  Captain, I've found a suitable shield harmonic and multiphasic control protecting the ship from the solar winds, sending the program to the Death Valley

Host CO_Madred says:
TL: Sickbay... ::rubs his chin trying to think on the situation::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Nods to Promdi:: Promdi/Throki: Do you happen to know anything about their offensive strength?

CIV_Doile says:
::arrives on the bridge to hear the CSO tell him lunch can wait::

CSO_Tsalea says:
OPS: Expect a quick evacuation.

CIV_Doile says:
CSO: Lunch waits for no man, Commander.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: I have told my whole department to move into my quarters

CTO_Ryan says:
::Notices Promdi fumble with his cup:: Promdi: Are you okay, Sir?  I can call a medic... ::Notes how Throki seems to be answering most of her questions and grows suspicious::

CSO_Tsalea says:
CIV:  It does if the man wishes to eat it later.  Your assistance has been requested by the captain.  Did you receive your orders?

Host CO_Madred says:
::smiles at O'Rourke and chuckles:: FCO: Gonna be a tight fit in their for a few days ... Mister Baley tells me there is a class M planetoid approximately four days away.

CIV_Doile says:
::Moves to a secondary science station and sets his sandwich and drink on the console.  Logs into the station::

Host CO_Madred says:
::rides in the turbolift with O'Rourke:: FCO: You're Irish ... right?

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: I figure we can hot bunk and setup air mattresses

Nichura_Promdi says:
::shrugs a little:: CTO: Our people are not well armed. Surely they are not a threat to such an impressive Federation vessel. But we also do not have the material they used to sacrifice our sun, so perhaps they have outside assistance?

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: Gael, Sir

CIV_Doile says:
::nods to the CSO::

OPS_Baley says:
::checks in with the transporter rooms to ensure that they're using the fastest protocols available, with the most skilled operators assigned to duty::

CEO_Hull says:
COM: <Death Valley>:  This is Lt. Hull, I'm sending over my multiphasic shield and harmonic settings that we will be using against the solar winds. ::inputs the program name into the comm channel::

Host CO_Madred says:
::smiles and nods several times:: FCO: An ancient and proud people ... what do you think of this situation, O'Rourke?

CIV_Doile says:
::grabs a sip of his drink as he works the console::

CSO_Tsalea says:
::Pulls up the data and results and sends it to the CIVs station.::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Nods and taps the PADD making notes::  Promdi: It is a possibility.  Do you have any idea who might also gain from your people's demise?

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: Well, were we allowed we might try prayin to the Goddess

Ili_Throki says:
::blinks at the CTO's suspicious look::

CSO_Tsalea says:
CIV:  This is what we have.  This is what we need to accomplish.

Host CO_Madred says:
::steps out of the turbolift and makes his way down the corridor towards sickbay:: FCO: Consider the order given, Mister O'Rourke.

CIV_Doile says:
::sits back and puts is feet up on the console as he reads the CSO's data.  Takes a bite of his sandwich::

Nichura_Promdi says:
::shakes his head regrettably:: CTO: Only those that have damned us.

CEO_Hull says:
*CO*:  Captain, permission to beam down to the surface with a few portable deflectors for protecting the evacuees 

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: Aye, sir, when I get the chance, btw, have we thought of using the holodecks to simulate a troop ship of WW II ?

CTO_Ryan says:
Promdi: Can you be more specific?

Ili_Throki says:
CTO: I guess they figured that... if we're going to loose our culture... might as well kill the people that made up the culture too.

CSO_Tsalea says:
CIV:  It is not appropriate to place your feet on the console.  As for the food, leave no crumbs.

Host CO_Madred says:
*CEO*: Mister Hull, Starfleet doesn't have enough emitters in their entire inventory to protect the entire planet. Permission denied. Coordinate with Commander Tsalea on ways to slow down that stars death.

Nichura_Promdi says:
::nods sagely to Throki's answer::

CEO_Hull says:
*CO*: Aye Sir

CTO_Ryan says:
::Nods:: Throki: Tell me, what are your responsibilities in your position with the government?

Host CO_Madred says:
::walks through the door to sickbay:: FCO: Even the holodecks have to give way to conventional physics. You can only put so many people in the same one foot by one foot square.

Nichura_Promdi says:
::looks up at the unusual question::

OPS_Baley says:
::working out the amount of food they can replicate, and realizes everyone's going to have to go onto quarter rations... sends another departmental mail around the system, so as not to have to tell anyone to their face::

CIV_Doile says:
CSO: So you're pretty much doing the same thing I was trying to simulate in the holodeck.  Except......What's this element you're using?  Nordronium?

CSO_Tsalea says:
*CEO*:  Mr. Hull, have you had a chance to view the modified schematics of the torpedo?

Host CO_Madred says:
FCO/Sickbay All: Besides, I'd rather not have to evacuate the surface at all!

Ili_Throki says:
CTO: Me?

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: Aye, sir, but they were marvels of stacking people in a small amount of space for sleeping

CTO_Ryan says:
Throki: Yes.

Host CO_Madred says:
Illi/Nichura: Isn't that right, gentlemen.

Ili_Throki says:
CTO: I am Promdi's right hand woman... I'm his assistance in... many areas.

CTO_Ryan says:
Throki: I see and how long have you held this position?

Ili_Throki says:
CTO: I take over when he goes for vacation.

Ili_Throki says:
CTO: About 7 years.

Host ScottB says:
ACTION: The Nordronium convoy, acting as extra evacuation ships, arrives on scene

Host CO_Madred says:
::walks up behind Mister Ryan and regards her working with the two diplomats::

CSO_Tsalea says:
CIV:  Nordronium will absorb the elements that are currently speeding up the sun’s death.  As we can not stop it, we are going to slow it down and possible extend it.

CIV_Doile says:
::takes another bite of his sandwich while waiting for the CSO's response::

Nichura_Promdi says:
::nods at Madred:: CO: It is indeed Captain Madrara... Captain.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Taps the PADD:: Throki: And before that you did......???

Ili_Throki says:
::narrows her eyes:: CTO: Why are you asking....?  ::Turns to see the gentleman that just walked in:: CO: Captain, sir.

CEO_Hull says:
::Takes the TL from ME to the Bridge::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Turns to see the CO enter:: CO: Sir.

CIV_Doile says:
CSO: Nordronium, Huh?  I've never heard of it.  Where'd you come up with it?  How long will it give these people?

Ili_Throki says:
CTO: I was... his 2nd to next assistant.

Host CO_Madred says:
::is a little concerned about the line of questioning:: CTO: What's going on here, Mister Ryan?

Ili_Throki says:
::looks uncomfortable::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::also wonders::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Nods:: Throki: I must pursue all avenues, Ma'am.  Leave no stone unturned, as it were.  I apologize if my line of questioning offends you in any way.

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Sir, just covering all the bases, Sir.

CSO_Tsalea says:
CIV:  According to calculations, we can possibly extend it to 2 days, 22 hours.  However, that is not exact.

CEO_Hull says:
::Arrives on the bridge and approaches the CIV and CSO::

Host CO_Madred says:
::nods:: CTO: Admirable... ::turns towards the two Jantami-ians:: Illi/Nichura: Well, someone with this Angels of Mercy has decided that its time for your people to start dying. We're here to prevent that, but it doesn't look like it's going to be possible.

CSO_Tsalea says:
::Looks up at the CEO::

Ili_Throki says:
CTO: no... ::looks at her strangely and drops it::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Makes a note to the Medic to check Promdi's tea cup for traces of any type of additives::

Nichura_Promdi says:
::looks disappointed:: CO: You have not found the material to reverse the destruction?

CIV_Doile says:
::jumps out of his seat, spilling his drink all over the console:: Three days?  Three days???  What do you expect these people to do in three days!   My experiments with trilithium and protomatter extended this star's life by at least a century!

CEO_Hull says:
CSO:  I've looked over your schematics on that torp, It looks like it should perform as projected

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::tactfully keeps his mouth shut ::

Host CO_Madred says:
::nods:: Illi/Nichura: So we're about to begin evacuating people off the surface of the planet based on the lottery systems Commander Amendoeira devised with your help. FCO: Mister O'Rourke ... it's estimated that how many of the native populous will die as a result of not being selected in this lottery?

Host ScottB says:
<Convoy> % ::captains become impatient... begin incessantly hailing the PG::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: I am afraid greater than 62%

OPS_Baley says:
CSO: I'm just checking those calculations, it's 2 days, 22 hours, 24 minutes.

CSO_Tsalea says:
CEO:  I understand Mr. Doile is an expert in that area.  ::Looks at the Civilian.::  CIV:  Do you concur?

Ili_Throki says:
::chews her lips:: FCO: No more?

CSO_Tsalea says:
OPS:  Thank you.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Turns to the CO:: CO: Sir, I have completed my initial questioning, however I may have further questions after my report is completed.

CIV_Doile says:
::wonders if the CSO even heard his ranting::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
Throki: That is with even using the freighters and shuttles to haul "extra"

Host CO_Madred says:
::nods:: Illi/Nichura: 62% of your native populations will be killed. That translates to ... what? 2 billion people? Now, Starfleet will never stop hunting the Angels of Mercy and eventually we will find them and bring them to justice. Of that you can be absolutely and unequivocally certain. So ... ultimately the Angels of Mercy will fail.

Nichura_Promdi says:
::drinks another sip of the tea, thinking of the heat tearing his beautiful world apart::

CSO_Tsalea says:
::Ignoring the Civilians outburst, calmly replies::  CIV:  To enable us to remove as many of them off the planet as we can.

CEO_Hull says:
::Looks at both, CSO and CIV::  

Nichura_Promdi says:
::sadly:: CO: That justice will be hollow. It will not retrieve the lives lost.

OPS_Baley says:
CSO: The Nordronium ships are preparing to offload their "cargo", Commander. Just awaiting your instructions. I suggest we get it over with as soon as possible to free them up for evacuation.

Ili_Throki says:
::smiles weakly at the CO:: CO: We understand...

CSO_Tsalea says:
OPS:  Agreed.  Please proceed.

CIV_Doile says:
::shakes his head:: CSO: The torpedo delivery system will work and yes, you get about three days more from that star....but what's the point?

FCO_O`Rourke says:
Throki: I wish the number could be greater, as it is everyone will be packed rather tightly

OPS_Baley says:
CSO: Err... is there any danger to us when they fire those things? We're going to be okay here, right? ::looking worried::

Host CO_Madred says:
::holds up a hand to Ryan:: Illi/Nichura: So in the end 2 billion of your people will have died for ... what? Nothing. That is, unless one of you has something to add to the conversation ... as I think we all expect you do. Anything at all would be appreciated.

CSO_Tsalea says:
*CO*:  Captain, the cargo ships have arrived.  As soon as they have deposited their cargo, they can begin evacuations per Mr. Baley's set up.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Turns to look at the guests and waits for their response to the CO with interest::

Host CO_Madred says:
*CSO*: Understood Commander, stand by... ::waits, looking at Ili and Nichura expectantly::

CSO_Tsalea says:
CIV:  This will give us three days more then we had.  There is also one other possibility we have, however, it is... less stable.

Nichura_Promdi says:
::meets his eyes:: CO: There is nothing more we can tell you. Whoever has doomed us has done a thorough job. I would like to see them brought to justice on behalf of those that survive.

CIV_Doile says:
::wishes he could add a sprinkling of protomatter to those torpedoes::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::just wishes they could exclude those who helped bring this about ::

Host CO_Madred says:
Nichura: I undestand your point of view, Mister Nichura. Thank you for your honesty. Ili: Anything you would like to add, Miss Ili?

CSO_Tsalea says:
OPS:  With the power we will be deploying, we should be fine.

CIV_Doile says:
CSO: I can give you a bit more than three days and have it be stable, but no one is listening.

OPS_Baley says:
::crosses his fingers, and sends the go signal to the ships::

CSO_Tsalea says:
CIV:  I am listening.

Ili_Throki says:
::listens to the emptiness in Promdi's voice and tries to be encouraging.:: CO: No.  Just that... I... we... know you'll do everything within your power... and we thank you.

Host ScottB says:
<Convoy> % COM: Paula Greene: Acknowledged. Firing deployment torpedoes.

CSO_Tsalea says:
CEO:  Lt. Hull, do you have any input to add?

CTO_Ryan says:
::Grows more suspicious of these two by the minute but doesn't let them know::

CIV_Doile says:
CSO: Adding protomatter to that Nord....nord...whatever it is will extend the stars life by at least 5 decades and it can be done fairly quickly.

CEO_Hull says:
CSO:  I believe in redundancy, we should make the adjustments to two torps

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: Should I see to getting the shuttles launched?

Host ScottB says:
ACTION: The convoy ships release their salvos of 120 Nordronium torpedoes. ETA to the star is two minutes.

Host CO_Madred says:
::dourly gulps and nods at her:: Ili: Two billion Joran’T’Kam just died. CTO: Mister Ryan, place these two individuals under arrest on the charge of genocide. Illi/Nichura: If either of you is actually innocent, I do apologize.

CSO_Tsalea says:
CIV:  Protomatter is unstable.

Host CO_Madred says:
CTO: Confine them to the brig immediately, Mister Ryan.

OPS_Baley says:
CSO: One minute and fifty seconds to impact.

CIV_Doile says:
CSO:  ::sighs:: Yeah, so's the star.  Never mind, it's too late.

Host CO_Madred says:
::turns his back on them and regards O'Rourke:: FCO: Those Goddesses? Start praying to them...

Nichura_Promdi says:
::shakes head:: CO: I am not innocent in this. Had I foreseen this, we would not be facing this. ::glances at Throki:: I need to be returned to the surface.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: Aye, sir

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Motions to the two security officers standing by the door to move in, while she deactivates the containment field::

CIV_Doile says:
::drops back into his seat and begins munching on his sandwich::

CSO_Tsalea says:
CIV:  It is not too late for the next stage.  Explain your idea on this unstable protomatter.

Host CO_Madred says:
Nichura: No Mister Nichura ... we all get to live with our parts in this. ::look pointedly at Ili::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::closes his eyes and wills a vision of the open woods to his eyes and opens his heart to the Goddess::

CSO_Tsalea says:
CEO:  Agreed.  Prepare the two please.

OPS_Baley says:
CSO: One minute to impact.

Ili_Throki says:
::look doesn't falter and nods at the CO::

Host CO_Madred says:
FCO: Launch all the shuttlecraft ... I want you to personally supervise their launch. Have your people take them down to the surface and start picking people up based on the lottery. ::grips O'Rourke's arm:: FCO: And make sure no one goes down without a sidearm.

CIV_Doile says:
CSO: Normally, when you introduce...::swallows::....protomatter into a stable environment, it destabilizes the entire sub molecular structure of the stable matter.

CTO_Ryan says:
<Security officers> ::Move in and secure the "guests" gently moving them towards the door::

CSO_Tsalea says:
CIV:  Proceed.

Nichura_Promdi says:
::lets the outrage fuel him:: CO: What do you think you're doing, Captain?

CTO_Ryan says:
::Moves in behind the security officers and the guests, drawing her phaser and setting it to stun::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::shakes head , disturbed::  CO Huh? Uh oh, yes, sir, right away sir, and she said things would go well, relatively

Host CO_Madred says:
CTO: Get this man out of my site Mister Ryan. Nichura: Saving every life I can, sir.

CIV_Doile says:
CSO: However....when protomatter is introduced into matter that is already unstable...especially where fusion and fission occur....it tends to stabilize the molecules.

Host ScottB says:
ACTION: The first salvo of 30 torps enter the corona

FCO_O`Rourke says:
*FC Department* Assemble in the shuttlebays for A shift,  we launch in 2 Minutes

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Moves the security entourage out of Sickbay::

Nichura_Promdi says:
CO: I demand to be returned to my world, right now!

CSO_Tsalea says:
CIV:  Has this been tried?

OPS_Baley says:
::instinctively grabs hold of his console::

CIV_Doile says:
CSO: It’s like two wrongs actually making a right

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::leaves sickbay and runs to the turbolift::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
TL: Shuttlebay

Host ScottB says:
ACTION: And the other three waves of 30 enter in succession, creating thermal shockwaves within the sun. Temperatures temporarily spike to over 280 million degrees, then level at 200 million.

CIV_Doile says:
CSO: Of course not.  No situation like that has come up.  I've been in the holodeck running simulations on this for the past several hours.

CSO_Tsalea says:
OPS:  Increase shields to maximum... if they are not already.

Host CO_Madred says:
::suddenly finds himself alone in sickbay ...looks around quietly and wipes at his goatee, quietly leans back against a biobed for a moment::

CTO_Ryan says:
Promdi: I do not believe you are in no position to demand anything at the moment, Sir.  ::Prods them into a turbolift:: TL: Security!

OPS_Baley says:
::checks on the shields, and pumps them right up::

CSO_Tsalea says:
CIV:  Any your results?

Ili_Throki says:
CTO: What is the meaning of this?

OPS_Baley says:
::issues commands to the transporter rooms to stand by for evac once the shields are back down::

CSO_Tsalea says:
::Looks away as the flare pierces her sensitive eyes.  Then looks down at the incoming data::

CTO_Ryan says:
Throki: Why don't you tell me and I'll tell you if you are correct?

CIV_Doile says:
CSO: Best case scenario is that the star remains stable for almost 300 years, and then blows up.  Worst case would be 50 years.

Ili_Throki says:
::looks furious::  CTO: What is it?  At least... read us our rights... and tell us what you're accusing us of.

Nichura_Promdi says:
::levels the smoldering gaze of a leader on Ryan:: CTO: Pup, when someone in authority hears of what you have done, you will all pay the price.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
All: Grab weapons, the CO wants you armed as you go down to admit the winners of the lotteries. I will have OPS send you co-ordinates, no gear hauling by them, we must make max room. And good luck

CIV_Doile says:
::eats the last of his sandwich::

CSO_Tsalea says:
CIV:  Have you shown the captain this information?

Ili_Throki says:
CTO: I am a law abiding citizen!  ::REB::   I haven’t' had so much as a library overdue in 6 years!

Host CO_Madred says:
::straightens up, adjusts his uniform tunic, and heads out into the corridor::

OPS_Baley says:
CIV: Hope you enjoyed that, it's probably the last decent meal you'll be getting for a while.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Shakes her head as the turbolift doors open and the security officers lead them out of the turbolift and into the Security office towards the Brig::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
*OPS* The Shuttles are getting ready to launch, send them the co-ordinates for the assembly points and open the shuttlebay doors, please.

Host ScottB says:
ACTION: The attempts of the Paula Greene's science team successfully add three days to the life of the Jantami star.
