USS Paula Greene, NCC-71204

Rendezvous In The Dark:  Episode One

The USS Paula Greene is ordered to the Marée Noir Nebula to rendezvous with the scientific ship, USS Discovery, assigned to monitor the collapse of a neutron star discovered within the nebula.

Starfleet wants to ensure the safety of the Discovery when the star collapses and forms a black hole

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
XO: Commander...this nebula might prove difficult for navigation.

FCO Panthera says:
XO: Everything checks out sir. We can leave when ready.

XO Amendoeira says:
:: Gets up and tugs his uniform shirt ::   All : Alright gentleman…Report departure status..

Host CO Jarvel says:
:: Listening to a Vulcan symphony on the ready room's speaker system and sipping a cup of spiced tea as he reads the latest reports from the USS Discovery in quiet seclusion ::

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
XO: Science reports ready Commander

XO Amendoeira says:
:: Nods to the FCO ::   CSO : Write up a report, and send it to Captain Jarvel... He'll want to hear about that…

CEO Burke says:
<Eng Alberts>  CEO: Well, we think we can boost sensor efficiency in the nebula by using a redundant scanning algorithm.    There was a paper out not too long ago that showed some good results.

MO Angel says:
:: Noticing Aurora Biishe with a teasing smile. ::   CMO:  I don't know about you, but I like the morning hours.

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
:: Nods ::   XO: Understood Sir.

FCO Panthera says:
:: While waiting for departure orders pulls up what information there is on the nebula and any noted problems in navigating in and around it ::

CNS Lorehani says:
:: Lost in thought she taps the PADD against her knee ::

CEO Burke says:
Alberts: Hmm, very well.  How long until you are ready?

XO Amendoeira says:
FCO : Alright...Mr Panthera...Request clearance for departure.

CMO Biishe says:
:: Shakes her head ::   MO:  I got to used to working late hours.  My family were always people who preferred the night hours.  Hence our last name meaning Night Hawk.  The key word being Night.

FCO Panthera says:
:: Nods ::   XO: Aye sir.

FCO Panthera says:
COM: SBOPS: This is the USS Paula Greene requesting permission to leave.

CEO Burke says:
<Eng Alberts> CEO: Oh, 24 hours and we should be ready to run a few test.

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
XO: Perhaps a science briefing since our ETA to destination is 36 hours

XO Amendoeira says:
*CO* : Captain…We are ready to get underway...

FCO Panthera says:
*CEO*: Panthera to Burke prepare to switch us to ship power.

CEO Burke says:
:: Nods ::   Alberts:  Good, I'll be looking for that report.

Host SBOPS says:
COM: Paula Greene:  You are cleared for departure

Host CO Jarvel says:
*XO*: Very well, Commander... I trust that you are capable of handling our departure on your own.   :: Continues his reading ::

MO Angel says:
:: Shakes head ::   CMO:  You will get back into the routine quick enough.  Just try going to bed earlier with your husband.   :: With a wink turns and goes to check the medical supply list to the new supplies received. ::

CEO Burke says:
:: Taps his badge ::   *FCO* You got it.   :: Walks over to the main console ::  Ready when you are.

XO Amendoeira says:
:: Turns back to the CSO ::   CSO : Good idea...

FCO Panthera says:
COM: SBOPS: Releasing umbilical now.   :: Hits the buttons disengaging the umbilical ::

FCO Panthera says:
*CEO*: Switch over now.

XO Amendoeira says:
*CO* Aye sir...I just thought you might want to see her depart... ::   Self: Silly me

CMO Biishe says:
:: Shakes her head ::   MO:  Cute...   :: Goes into her office to pull up the current physical lists for the start of the new year.  The new captains coming up first. ::  Oh lovely...

Host SBOPS says:
COM: Paula Greene:  You're looking good.  Fair sailing to you!

CEO Burke says:
:: Hits the button and watches the yellow light turn green ::   *FCO*: We're off the cord and ready to go.

XO Amendoeira says:
FCO : Get us out…

Host CO Jarvel says:
:: Looks up, but doesn't say anything... needs to remind himself that Commander Amendoeira is Vulcan as well ::

FCO Panthera says:
COM: SBOPS: We are on our own power. Releasing docking clamps.   :: Releases the clamps and activates the thrusters taking us out of the docking berth ::

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
XO: With your permission Sir. I shall prepare the observation lounge for the briefing.

CEO Burke says:
:: Done with that, walks over to another pair of engineers, these ones working on the shielding issue ::   Engineers:  Report.

FCO Panthera says:
XO: One quarter thrusters and we are clearing the docking berth sir.   :: Monitors the backwards movement of the PG until she is clear and turns her around ::

XO Amendoeira says:
:: Moves to the science console ::   CSO : I was going to suggest the briefing room right next door....   :: Smiles ::

Host CO Jarvel says:
:: Feels the shudder of the docking clamps release and sees the flicker of the overhead lights as they switch from external to internal power... glances out his window and sees them starting to move in relation to the other docked vessels ::

CMO Biishe says:
*CO* Captain, this is sickbay.  When you have a moment, I need to do the traditional physical for new crew.

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
:: Nods ::   XO: Yes Sir. I shall begin preparation

Host CO Jarvel says:
*CMO*: I will endeavor to make myself available to you at my earliest convenience, Doctor.

CMO Biishe says:
*CO*:  Thank you.

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
:: Gets up from the chair and heads to the nearby door ::

XO Amendoeira says:
FCO : Alright...Engage at warp 6 towards the Marée Noir Nebula

XO Amendoeira says:
...after we clear the station.

FCO Panthera says:
:: Nudges controls up to full thrusters heading for the outer markers ::
XO: Course laid in and ready to engage once we clear the outer markers.

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
:: Enters the briefing room ::

CMO Biishe says:
*XO* Tealk.  The entire crew is due for their annual physical in one form or another.  Instead of my trying to second guess the time they have available, as you note they are not occupied in something critical, will you send them down?

XO Amendoeira says:
*CO* Captain...Our Chief Science Officer suggested a scientific briefing on the Nebula...

CEO Burke says:
<Eng Batte>   :: Frowning ::   CEO: We aren't having much luck.  The energy patterns within nebulas can be so erratic, that trying to keep shielding in place becomes next to impossible.  We are toying with the idea of reducing the effective surface area of the shields, pulling them tighter into the ship.  That might make them a bit more stable.

FCO Panthera says:
*CEO*: Do I have full warp at the ready?

XO Amendoeira says:
:: Glances around, and smiles ::   *CMO* : Certainly, Aurora...

Host CO Jarvel says:
*XO*: I'd like to speak with the Chief Engineer first. Tell Mister tr'Raedhol to be prepared for a briefing later this afternoon.

CEO Burke says:
:: Holds his hand up to pause the engineers ::   *FCO* Punch it.

XO Amendoeira says:
*CO* Aye sir...   :: Turns to the CSO ::   CSO : Looks like you're the first victim…The CO only wants the briefing to be held in the afternoon…Plenty of time for you to stop by Sickbay for your physical…

FCO Panthera says:
*CEO*: Thanks.   :: Cuts the comm and watches as they clear the outer markers...takes the ship up to warp and starts increasing until they reach warp
6 ::

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
:: Locates a few examples in the LCARS ::

Host CO Jarvel says:
:: Feels the Paula Greene jump to warp and finishes off his tea, rising from his chair, tucking the PADD he was reading under his arm, and heading out onto the bridge ::

FCO Panthera says:
XO: We have reached warp 6 and by my calculations we should be there in 36 hours sir.

CEO Burke says:
:: Putting his hand down ::   Batte:  Limitations of the plan?

CNS Lorehani says:
:: Taking a sip of her tea, she starts reading the next evaluation...The Capt's ::

Host CO Jarvel says:
:: Enters the bridge and glances about briefly, spots Panthera at the
helm ::   FCO: Mister Panthera, you are with me please.   :: Turns towards the nearest turbolift ::

MO Angel says:
:: Notes that they are missing a supply of Adrenaline and frowns ::   *OPS*  This is doctor Angel.  I am missing a box of adrenaline.  Can you please trace it down for me?

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
:: Frowns ::   XO: A physical?  I am not new to the Paula Greene Sir...my physical is quite up to date.

XO Amendoeira says:
FCO: Very good, Lt...And since you don't seem too busy…You should also go down to sickbay.

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
<OPS_H'lo> *MO*: Certainly Doctor...I shall locate it as soon as possible.

XO Amendoeira says:
CSO : You tell that to the new CMO.   :: Grins ::

CEO Burke says:
<Eng Batte>  CEO: Well, the grid will be "hyper energized"  It could be unstable if not precisely controlled.

FCO Panthera says:
CO: Aye sir.   :: Stands up turning the helm over to McLeod ::   XO: The captain wants me to go with him.   :: Heads for the turbolift following the CO ::

Host CO Jarvel says:
:: Enters the turbolift and waits while Panthera joins him ::

XO Amendoeira says:
:: Nods ::   FCO : Very well...

FCO Panthera says:
:: Enters the turbolift behind the CO ::

Host CO Jarvel says:
:: Doors to the lift close ::   Turbolift: Deck 36...

CEO Burke says:
:: Considers ::   Batte:  Hmm, seems a little tricky.  Keep working on it, but I want more options.   :: Nods and walks away looking for the warp propulsion group ::

MO Angel says:
*OPS* Thank you.  If you can't, we will have to get the replicator working and it is not as good as the stuff organically made.

FCO Panthera says:
CO: Welcome aboard sir.

FCO Panthera says:
<McLeod> :: Sits down at the helm checking course and speed ::

Host CO Jarvel says:
:: Glances to Panthera and nods ::   FCO: Of course...thank you, Lieutenant.

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
:: Raises both eyebrows and decides to wait until the CMO screams before reporting in ::

XO Amendoeira says:
CSO: What are you still doing here, Mr tr'Raedheol

XO Amendoeira says:
CSO: Don't make me order you...   :: Smiles ::

FCO Panthera says:
:: Refrains from pointing out she isn't a Lt anymore ::   CO: Can I ask where we are headed?

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
XO: I am reviewing my information for the briefing Sir... since the FCO went to report first.

CEO Burke says:
:: Not finding who he is looking for ::   Aloud:  Where the heck is Collins?

Host CO Jarvel says:
:: Glances at Panthera again ::   FCO: Deck 36.

XO Amendoeira says:
:: Glares at the CSO ::

CEO Burke says:
<Eng Dellington>  CEO: He took his team to holodeck 2 to work on some designs, sir.

Host CO Jarvel says:
:: Remembers this isn't a ship full of Vulcans ::   FCO: Have you served on the Paula Greene long, Commander?

CNS Lorehani says:
:: Mutters under her breath and turns in her chair. ::   CSO:  Doctor do you have a phobia of Doctors?  Should I be scheduling you an appointment also?   :: Winks at him ::

CEO Burke says:
:: Nods and decides to head back to his office for the moment ::

FCO Panthera says:
:: Looks over at the CO ::   CO: I have been here for about six months sir.

Host CO Jarvel says:
:: Nods ::   FCO: And what were your impressions of Captain Madred, my predecessor?

FCO Panthera says:
CO: I liked him very much sir. He was a good man to serve with and yes I will miss him.

Host Xen says:
ACTION:  The engineering console shows warp engines with a slight misalignment

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
:: Smiles ::   CNS: I most certainly do not Counselor...however the doctor should be quite busy with the FCO's unique physiology so I should be able to prepare for my briefing for a few more minutes.

MO Angel says:
:: Sends a report to the XO and OPS and then heads for the CMO's office. ::

CEO Burke says:
:: Hears a beep and glances at the status board ::   Ellis:  Ellis!  Aren't you supposed to be watching that.   :: Points at the board ::

Host CO Jarvel says:
:: Raises an eyebrow wondering why Panthera answered a question he did not ask ::   FCO: I assure you, Commander...if I wish to know whether you will miss him or not I will ask.   :: Steps out of the lift as it arrives at Deck 36 and heads down the corridor towards Engineering's blast doors ::

CNS Lorehani says:
:: Grins ::   CSO:  But Trina has gone with our fearless Capt and is not headed for Sickbay, so the doctor is quite free I believe.

XO Amendoeira says:
CSO: Lt...the FCO is with the Captain right now, so she won't be going to sickbay. Even then, Sickbay is capable of handling much more than one person for something as simple as a physical...

MO Angel says:
:: Peeks her head in ::   CMO:  I have the inventory finished.

XO Amendoeira says:
CSO: I don't want to hear another word out of you...Get moving...
:: Stern look ::

CEO Burke says:
<Eng Ellis>  :: Jumps up from the comic he was reading ::   CEO: Yes sir!  Right away.   :: Starts to realign the engines ::

FCO Panthera says:
CO: Sorry sir I will try and remember that in the future.   :: Follows the captain refraining from muttering about Vulcans ::

CEO Burke says:
:: Simply shakes his head, entering his office and bringing up a screen to monitor Ellis' progress ::

CMO Biishe says:
:: Nods ::   MO:  Come on in.  I am not sure when our first crew member is due.  I thought I would try it a different way.

Host CO Jarvel says:
:: Steps into Main Engineering and looks around for Mister Burke ::
CEO: Lieutenant...

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
:: Nods ::   XO: Yes Sir...   :: Leaves the bridge with 3 PADD's ::

MO Angel says:
:: Takes a seat, leaving the PADD on her desk. ::   CMO:  Different?

Host Xen says:
ACTION:  The misalignment signal continues to beep

CMO Biishe says:
MO: Yes.  Letting them come at their convenience instead of our trying to drag them down here in the middle of something.

CEO Burke says:
:: Sees the Captain walk around the corner, stands and smiles ::   CO: Ah, Captain.  What brings you down to my neck of the woods?   :: Glares at Ellis to get that fixed ::

XO Amendoeira says:
:: Nods to himself ::

MO Angel says:
Hmmm... CMO:  Good luck.   :: Nods to the PADD ::  We have a small problem.

CNS Lorehani says:
:: Settles back into her chair chuckling to herself. ::

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
:: Waits for the turbolift to arrive near sickbay ::

CEO Burke says:
<Eng Ellis>  :: Calls over Furia to give him a hand ::

FCO Panthera says:
CEO: What is that beeping and how is it affecting the helm?   :: Looks around at the scurry of activity ::

Host CO Jarvel says:
CEO: Mister Panthera and I would like to discuss your findings about Marée Nebula. What kind of problems do you anticipate we will encounter upon our arrival and how will Mister Panthera be able to compensate for them?

CEO Burke says:
FCO: Slight misalignment, still within spec but not to my liking.  They are working on it.

CMO Biishe says:
:: Picks up the PADD and frowns ::   MO:  You are correct.  The one thing we don't want to be short this mission.  Let me check with Tealk.

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
:: Enters sickbay and looks around ::

Host CO Jarvel says:
CEO: Is it anything serious?

CMO Biishe says:
*XO*:  Tealk, just a heads up.  We are short Adrenaline, which is used against radiation.

FCO Panthera says:
:: Waits for the CEO's answer not liking the sound of it ::

CEO Burke says:
CO: Not serious at the moment.   :: Raising his voice a bit so that the pair of Ellis and Furia can hear him ::   If it isn't fixed soon though a few heads may roll.

XO Amendoeira says:
:: Frowns ::   *CMO* Why wasn't that taken care of when we where back at the Starbase?

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
:: Looks to the CMO and MO ::   CMO/MO: Doctors...Lieutenant tr'Raedheol. I am reporting for my physical

Host CO Jarvel says:
CEO: Forgive me, Lieutenant...what would rolling heads accomplish?
:: Perplexed ::

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
:: Reads one of his PADD's while waiting ::

Host Xen says:
ACTION:  After several minutes, the Engineering staff are able to correct the misalignment.

CMO Biishe says:
*XO*:  Because with all the changes, we just now finished checking the supply list.  It was not in the batch.  Angel has operations looking for it.  It might be somewhere else on the ship.

CEO Burke says:
:: Smiles ::   CO: You'd be amazed at how powerful of a motivator it is.  Anyways, onto the nebula...

MO Angel says:
:: Smiles at the CSO ::   CSO:  Nice of you to join us.   :: Looks at the doctor with a question in her eyes. ::

CMO Biishe says:
:: Nods the go ahead. ::

FCO Panthera says:
:: Whispers ::   CO: It's just an odd earth saying. Basically telling them they will be on extra duty if they don't do as told.

CEO Burke says:
<Eng Ellis>  :: Wipes the sweat from his brow ::   Furia: That's got it.  Thanks.

MO Angel says:
CSO: If you will come with me, it looks like you will have to put up with me this time around.

Host CO Jarvel says:
:: Nods at Panthera ::   CEO: Yes...the nebula.

XO Amendoeira says:
:: Heads for the center chair, and leans to the CNS's side ::   CNS : You busy, Counselor?

CEO Burke says:
CO: As far as piloting goes.  Generally warp fields aren't very stable inside of them.  I expect we will be on impulse power.  I have a team working on other options, but nothing too promising yet.

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
MO: As you wish Doctor   :: Follows ::

CNS Lorehani says:
:: Looks up from her PADD ::   XO:  Going over the crew evals, Sir.  The ones I did last week...   :: Looks down at the name ::   As a matter of fact you are next...  Something you need Sir?

FCO Panthera says:
CEO: Will I have full control of all ship navigation functions once we enter that thing?

MO Angel says:
:: Leads the Romulan out the door and into main sickbay.  Motions him to one of the biobeds. ::   CSO:  How does it feel to be on a different side of the fence?

Host CO Jarvel says:
:: Listens to the conversation between the pilot and Chief Engineer ::

CEO Burke says:
:: Nods ::   FCO: She may be a bit sluggish, we won't really know until we get there, but yes.

XO Amendoeira says:
CNS : Care to join me in Sickbay? That way we can have our physical, and I can get our sessions out of the way.   :: Grins ::

FCO Panthera says:
CEO: So in other words I need to anticipate if we are going to need to use evasive maneuvers before activating them on the spur of the moment?

CNS Lorehani says:
:: Grins ::   XO:  I guess it would do no good to say that Doctor tr'Trae did mine just before he transferred to Science right?   :: Stands up. ::

CEO Burke says:
FCO: Yep.  Gonna need a little precognition working for you.

CEO Burke says:
CO/FCO: Sensors will also be a problem.

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
:: Smiles ::   MO: It is a different experience. My superiors thought it prudent to let me experience as much as possible for part of this exchange.

Host CO Jarvel says:
CEO: In what way?

FCO Panthera says:
CEO: Not too big of an issue for a Caitian, we are used to anticipating the enemy.

XO Amendoeira says:
CNS: Right.   :: Gets up, passes the Conn to the highest ranking officer on the bridge, then heads for the TR ::   CNS : After you…

CNS Lorehani says:
:: Enters the TL with the XO.  PADD still in hand. ::

XO Amendoeira says:
CNS : So. What do you want to know?

MO Angel says:
CSO:  Variety...the spice of life.   :: Makes the needed adjustments to the sensors. ::  This shouldn't take too long.  Your complete physical is scheduled for a month from now.

CNS Lorehani says:
XO:  Well the usual,  How are you sleeping?  Getting along with your co-workers...  Anything odd I should know about?

CEO Burke says:
CO:  The nebula will scatter and reflect our sensor signals, causing major distortions and incorrect readings.  We have a plan to combat this that should improve our vision in the nebula, but it will be far from crystal clear.  I would predict at least a 50% loss.

MO Angel says:
:: Takes a blood sample to do a correlation with his past recordings. ::

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
:: Nods still remembering the schedules by heart ::   MO: Understood

XO Amendoeira says:
CNS : Well…There is something...Not specifically related to myself, but to my children...

CNS Lorehani says:
:: Leans against the back of the TL. ::   XO:  Yes?

Host Xen says:
ACTION:  The Paula Greene receives an incoming message...

FCO Panthera says:
CEO: 50% seems like a big loss.

XO Amendoeira says:
CNS: Well...If you remember, they, along with every children on the Paula Greene where..."Advanced" in their age in the Borg incubators...

MO Angel says:
:: Frowns as she looks from him to the reading. ::

CEO Burke says:
FCO: Its better than the usual 90%.  However, we will continue working on that.  It is the problem we have the best chance of solving.

FCO Panthera says:
:: Nods ::   CEO: I guess so...that just means we are practically blind when we go in there.

XO Amendoeira says:
:: Walks out of the TL, as it comes to a stop and it's doors open ::

CNS Lorehani says:
:: Nods ::   XO:  I've been monitoring that very closely..  Actually I have about 3 children under constant watch along with their families.   Its been difficult for both the children and their parents.   The children have been aged physically, but not mentally.  Not an easy combination.

CNS Lorehani says:
:: Steps out of the TL beside the XO. ::

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
:: Is engrossed by his PADD reviewing information in the LCARS ::

CEO Burke says:
FCO: The joy of intergalactic dust.

Host CO Jarvel says:
CEO/FCO: Have we gotten anything from the Discovery on how they are dealing with these same issues?

MO Angel says:
CSO:  Ummm...doc?  I mean sir...I need to check something with your record.  I obviously missed something.

FCO Panthera says:
CO: Not to my knowledge but I can check with the Duty OPS.

CNS Lorehani says:
XO:  Has there been anything specific that you noticed?

XO Amendoeira says:
CNS : Well…Don't ask me how, but my eldest seems to have retained some of the Borg knowledge...She is 3 years ahead of kids her age...

XO Amendoeira says:
:: Enters sickbay ::

CEO Burke says:
CO: Not as of yet.

Host CO Jarvel says:
:: Nods ::   FCO: Let's find out as soon as possible. They've been exposed to the nebula already and may have developed some 'best practices' that we can incorporate on the Paula Greene.   CEO: Anything else, Chief?

CNS Lorehani says:
XO:  Hmmmm, if you like I can speak to her?  Its going to be something that is going to have to be dealt with and help her adjust

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
:: Mumbles ::   MO: Of course   :: Not listening ::

Host Xen says:
ACTION:  The incoming message continues to beep on the OPS console

CEO Burke says:
CO: Shielding...usual useless in the nebula.  I have a team that has a fairly risky plan to get them working.  Right now I'm not sure that I recommend it.  I've asked them to explore other options.

MO Angel says:
:: Nods and going over to the main computer, pulls up the doctors records.  Briefly she scans them, not finding what she was looking for.  Goes back over it more slowly. ::

XO Amendoeira says:
:: Nods ::   CNS : I don't know how she'll react, but I will mention it to her...Maybe if she was accompanied by me...

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
<OPS_H'lo> OOD: Incoming message sir...transferring to the viewer...

XO Amendoeira says:
:: Enters sickbay, and looks for his wife ::

Host CO Jarvel says:
:: Nods ::   CEO: I'd prefer not to raise shields and ignite the nebular gases.   FCO: Mister Panthera, anything else?

FCO Panthera says:
CO: Not at this time sir.

Host Xen says:
ACTION:  The message is audible only

CNS Lorehani says:
:: Nods ::   XO:  Of course.  With Children, I tend to conduct sessions within the holodeck in a setting that is comfortable for them. I find it calms them right down and lets them speak more freely.  They are more comfortable.

CMO Biishe says:
:: Hearing the doors open, looks up to see the counselor and her husband.  Comes out with a smile. ::   CNS/XO:  I get two in one?  Going to keep us busy are you?

Host CO Jarvel says:
FCO: Very well...   :: Turns to Burke ::   CEO: Thank you, Chief. There will be a senior staff briefing in the observation lounge shortly. I'll expect you to be in attendance.

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
<OPS_H'lo> OOD: Audio only...   :: Frowns::   On speakers....

XO Amendoeira says:
:: Smiles, as he hears her voice ::   CMO: Hey…You asked for it, didn't you?

Host Xen says:
COM: Paula Greene:  Are...ships...in...area...this...Discov...we...under...need...is...any...there....

MO Angel says:
:: Goes back to the CSO ::   CSO:  Sir, I have a...aberation in your medical file...that or a lapse somewhere.

Host CO Jarvel says:
:: Leaves Main Engineering with Panthera and heads back towards a turbolift ::

CNS Lorehani says:
CMO:  Hello Doctor....  I've been dragged down kicking and screaming.
:: Chuckles ::

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
<OPS_H'lo> :: Blinks ::   OOD: That sounds like a call for help Sir...

FCO Panthera says:
:: Follows the CO to the TL thinking about how to best handle the situation with the nebula ::

CMO Biishe says:
XO:  You are going to get it all out of the way and then I won't have anything more to do huh?  I think I like that idea.

CEO Burke says:
:: Nods ::

XO Amendoeira says:
:: Chuckles ::   CNS : Like I would ever do something so un-gentleman like..

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
:: Looks up ::   MO: Excuse me Doctor?  But what are you talking about?

Host CO Jarvel says:
:: Steps into the lift with Panthera ::   TL: Deck one...

CMO Biishe says:
CNS:  Hopefully not screaming too loud.   :: Smiles ::   CNS:  If you will wait, I will get Tealk quickly out of the way.  He being the easiest...I hope.

CNS Lorehani says:
:: Grins at the XO ::

XO Amendoeira says:
:: Nods ::   CMO : Uh hu...

MO Angel says:
CSO:  Your records say you are physically full Romulan.

FCO Panthera says:
:: Enters the TL standing near the doors ::

XO Amendoeira says:
:: Seizes the opportunity that his wife is near, and gives her a quick kiss ::

CEO Burke says:
:: Heads back into his office to consider what to do with Ellis ::

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
<OOD> OPS: I agree… *CO*: Captain... we have an audio distress signal coming from the Discovery we believe it is in need of assistance.

Host Xen says:
ACTION:  The message is weak and unreadable...

CMO Biishe says:
:: Motions Tealk over to the nearest biobed and from long experience, quickly has it set up. ::

CNS Lorehani says:
CMO:  Your the boss Doctor.   :: Goes and takes a seat then thinks otherwise. ::   XO:  Sir what do you think of my suggestion of a session with your daughter on the holodeck...   ::Hopes his wife knows what she is talking about. ::

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
MO: It does...   :: Looks up as if she said we breath oxygen ::

Host CO Jarvel says:
*OOD*: I am en route to the bridge. Sound yellow alert and recall the senior staff. Try to hail the Discovery.

MO Angel says:
:: Shakes head ::   CSO:  But you are not.

CMO Biishe says:
:: Looks at the counselor with a slight frown. ::   CNS:  My daughter?

XO Amendoeira says:
:: Moves to the bio-bed, and gets up on it ::   CNS : Schedule it, Counselor. When you can...

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
<OOD> *CO*: Aye Sir   :: Turns to OPS ::   OPS: You heard him

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
*ALL* All hands Yellow Alert... Senior Officers to the bridge

CSO tr`Raedheol  (Yellow Alert.wav)

XO Amendoeira says:
~~~Auri : I told the Counselor about her over achieve-ness... She thinks it would be best if she were to talk to her... ~~~~

CNS Lorehani says:
:: Nods ::   XO:  I will Sir.   CMO:  Nothing to worry about Doctor, just maybe some concern with the Borg incident and the rapid aging.

CMO Biishe says:
:: Takes the blood sample first for later work up.  Then does a general scan on him. ::

CEO Burke says:
:: Sighs as the klaxons go off. ::   Every time I sit down.   :: Gets up and heads to the bridge ::

Host Xen says:
ACTION:  The incoming transmission dies...

XO Amendoeira says:
:: Frowns as he catches the yellow lights ::

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
:: Blinks ::   MO: You must have committed an error....
:: Hears the yellow alert ::

XO Amendoeira says:
CMO : I have to go...

CMO Biishe says:
~~~~XO:  I am not so sure that is a good idea for Shey.  After all, she has always been on the bright side.~~~~

FCO Panthera says:
CO: Well I guess this delays my physical.

CNS Lorehani says:
:: Sees the Yellow alert. ::   CMO:  Another time Doctor?   :: Begins heading for the door. ::

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
<OPS_H'lo> :: Swears ::   OOD: We lost the signal Sir.

CMO Biishe says:
CNS:  Looks like it.

Host CO Jarvel says:
:: Steps out of the turbolift and onto the bridge ::   FCO: Take your station please, Commander.   OOD: Report.

CMO Biishe says:
XO:  Tealk.  You are done.

MO Angel says:
CSO:  I don't make errors.  Go.  I will see you  later.

CNS Lorehani says:
:: Jogs to the TL. ::

XO Amendoeira says:
:: Allows her to finish what she is doing, then jumps off the bio-bed ::
~~~CMO:  Can we discuss this later? I can always un-schedule if we decide it is not needed...~~~

FCO Panthera says:
:: Nods and heads for station taking over from McLeod...sits down and starts trying to use long range scans to locate the Discovery ::

CEO Burke says:
:: Arrives on the bridge shortly after the CO and moves to the Engineering
console ::   Computer:  Reroute engineering control to this console.

XO Amendoeira says:
:: Follows the CNS to the TL ::

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
:: Frowns ::  MO: What am I part Horta?   :: Gets up off biobed and picks up PADDs ::

CMO Biishe says:
MO:  Angel, I will be in the briefing room.  You have sickbay.   :: Follows the XO and counselor. ::

CNS Lorehani says:
:: Enters the TL Holding the door for the XO and CSO if he ever gets moving. ::

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
:: Heads to the door ::

Host CO Jarvel says:
OPS: Open a channel to the Discovery...   :: Takes the center seat ::

MO Angel says:
:: Nods to the departing people and prepares sickbay. ::

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
<OPS_H'lo> CO: We lost the signal Sir

Host CO Jarvel says:
OPS: General hail, then...

XO Amendoeira says:
TL : Bridge..

CMO Biishe says:
~~~~XO:  I guess it couldn't hurt.  Now if she wants a try at the twins...I am all for that one.~~~~

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
<OPS_H'lo> :: Nods ::   CO: Channel open Sir.

FCO Panthera says:
CO: I can't pick anything up on the Discovery on long range sir.

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
:: Shakes head as he heads out the door ::

MO Angel says:
:: Makes a note in the CSO's file for later. ::

Host CO Jarvel says:
:: From his chair ::   COM: Discovery: This Commander Jarvel of the USS Paula Greene, please respond.

XO Amendoeira says:
:: Smiles ::   CNS : While your at it...Schedule a different appointment for our other two children...

CNS Lorehani says:
XO:  How about a family session Sir?   :: Grins ::

Host CO Jarvel says:
FCO: If they entered the nebula it's quite unlikely we'd be able to detect them.

Host Xen says:
ACTION:  There is no answer to Commander Jarvel's hails...

XO Amendoeira says:
:: Eyes Aurora ::   CMO : What do you think?

CMO Biishe says:
CNS:  I think the twins will be more then enough for the first time.

XO Amendoeira says:
CNS : I would tend to agree on that one.

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
:: Wonders how the MO could be so incompetent as he rides the turbolift to the bridge ::

FCO Panthera says:
:: Dhecks course and heading one more time ::   CO: Still on course at warp 6 sir.

CMO Biishe says:
:: Shakes her head ::  CNS:  I have come to term with things.  I am not ready to open old wounds.

XO Amendoeira says:
:: The TL reaches the bridge ::

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
:: Exits turbolift to the bridge ::

CNS Lorehani says:
:: Smiles ::   XO/CMO:  If the two of you ever change your minds.   :: Feels the TL stop and exits making her way to her chair. ::

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
<OPS_H'lo> :: Shakes head ::   CO: No answer Sir

Host CO Jarvel says:
OPS: Repeat the hail every five minutes.   :: Sits up in his seat ::
FCO: Increase speed to warp 9.2 and project an estimated time of arrival.

XO Amendoeira says:
:: Heads for his chair ::

MO Angel says:
:: Sends a request to Starfleet for more complete files on the CSO ::

CNS Lorehani says:
:: Takes a seat and crosses her legs. ::

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
<OPS_H'lo> CO: Done Sir.

FCO Panthera says:
CO: Aye sir, increasing warp to 9.2.  :: Nudges the controls up ::

XO Amendoeira says:
CO : What's up... Sir?

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
:: Sits down at Science Station #1 ::

CEO Burke says:
*Ellis*: We are increasing warp.  Do keep a close eye on things.

FCO Panthera says:
*CEO*: We are moving to warp 9.2.

Host CO Jarvel says:
:: Nods at the Counselor as she arrives ::   CNS: Counselor...   :: Glances towards Amendoeira ::   XO: We received a hail which is believed to be from the Discovery. They are now not responding and we are investigating.

FCO Panthera says:
CO: ETA to the nebula is 3 hours sir.

CMO Biishe says:
:: Takes a stand behind the command chair to listen. ::

XO Amendoeira says:
CSO : Could have the star turned into a black hole ahead of schedule?

CEO Burke says:
:: Turns around and peers at the FCO from over the tactical bar ::   FCO: Funny, I heard a little bird say something about that.   :: Smiles ::

FCO Panthera says:
:: Turns around and looks ::   CEO: My apologies I didn't realize you were on the bridge.

Host CO Jarvel says:
CSO: Scan for the Discovery please...

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
:: Shakes head ::   XO: Astronomical occurrences are fairly predictable Sir...it is highly improbable.   CO: Yes Sir…scanning.

CEO Burke says:
FCO: I realize, just can't pass up an opportunity like that.   :: Turns back to his console ::

XO Amendoeira says:
:: Replays the message on his console ::

FCO Panthera says:
CEO: Well I will have to remember that for in the future.   :: Turns back to the helm monitoring course and speed ::

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
:: Frowns ::   CO: Captain…as I speculated...the nebula is proving difficult to locate.... The only way to detect its edge is to measure the amount of light refracted from distant stars in relation to the refraction caused by the dark matter's gravity.

XO Amendoeira says:
:: Frowns ::   CO : An attack, maybe?

Host CO Jarvel says:
XO: There is not enough data available to support any conclusion at this time.

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
CO: I find it difficult to even locate the nebula... never mind the Discovery

CMO Biishe says:
:: Walks over to science ::   CSO:  Do we have a report yet on the type of radiation we will be dealing with it?  They made it sound as if it were something unusual.

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
CO: The Nav Beacon is the only thing that is guiding us to it.

XO Amendoeira says:
CO : I don't like the word "under" on that message..

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
CO: The characteristics of dark matter, the nebula does not emit or reflect electromagnetic radiation and is therefore invisible to most sensors.

Host CO Jarvel says:
:: Nods at the CSO ::   CSO: Very well, keep tying...

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
:: Decides a 30 second briefing is always preferable to a 30 minutes meeting ::

Host Xen says:
ACTION:  3 hours have passed and the Paula Greene arrives at the navigational beacon

XO Amendoeira says:
CSO : Any luck with the Discovery yet?

FCO Panthera says:
CO: Sir we are arriving at the navigational beacon.

Host CO Jarvel says:
FCO: Drop to impulse, Commander.

FCO Panthera says:
:: Drops the ship to impulse ::   CO: We are at impulse sir.

CNS Lorehani says:
:: Sits up straight in her chair, monitors the tension level on the bridge. ::

Host CO Jarvel says:
OPS: Has there been any response to our hails?

CMO Biishe says:
:: In sickbay, looks up at feeling the ship drop from warp ::   Self: I hope the CSO has my answer soon.

CSO tr`Raedheol says:
:: Shakes head ::   CMO: Negative Doctor...there is no hazardous radiation

CMO Biishe says:
*CSO*:  Thank you.  Let's hope it stays that way.

Host CO Jarvel says:
XO: Commander, begin a grid search of the nebula starting from the position of the neutron star.

Host Xen says:
