USS Paula Greene presents

Executive Officer in Training
Host SM Steve says:
USS Paula Green, 10508.29

Host SM Steve says:
The Paula Greene has been ordered to answer a distress call from the USS Chronus, enroute from Alpha Centauri to Earth.  The ship is nearing the last known coordinates to begin the search and rescue.

Host SM Steve says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Start mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::Sitting down, reading his PADD::

FCO Shilos says:
::Sitting at the helm station inputting commands to make minor course corrections, and plotting out the search grid::

CEO Bishara says:
::sets her engineering console to scan for Parametric subspace field stress just to check for no cloaked ships::

CEO Bishara says:
::then looks for the ion trail of the Miranda class ship::

CMO Hayes says:
::at SCI1 checking SRS::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
*CEO*: Report. How's everything down there?

CEO Bishara says:
*XO*: Engineering is fine sir.  Just making the necessary scans to make sure that we have no cloaked ships in the area and then I am now scanning for the ion train of the Miranda class ship of that time.

CEO Bishara says:
Self: Damn it nothing there.  I hate not finding what I am looking for auguafratt!!!

XO Commander Z’heta says:
*CEO* Good.  Report your scans to the good doctor, she's handling Science.  Would you care to join us in the Bridge?

CEO Bishara says:
*XO*: Sir my scans don't reveal anything and yes sir I would be delighted.

FCO Shilos says:
XO: We have reached the edge of the system, sir.  I am dropping us to impulse.  *CEO* Stand by for transition to impulse power.

CEO Bishara says:
::bangs fists on the arm rests::

CMO Hayes says:
XO: Sir, I detect some large energy readings... it's like a large fusion explosion but sustained. I cannot pinpoint the cause until we get closer.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
*CEO*: All right.  Come at your convenience.  Bridge out.

CEO Bishara says:
*FCO*: Back them down slowly.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CMO: Keep scanning.  Warn us when you have a more detailed location

XO Commander Z’heta says:
FCO: Do you have an ETA?

FCO Shilos says:
::eases the sliders smoothly down to warp one than cuts them off naturally.  She brings up the impulse engines up gently:: XO: We are here, sir.

CEO Bishara says:
::hands hover over the relays and magnetic containment constrictors::  Self: Come on big girl slow yourself down big lady.  That is the way easy now easy......there you are.  Good kittens you are.

CMO Hayes says:
XO: Aye, sir.

CEO Bishara says:
*FCO*: That was well done good job.  And thank you.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
FCO: Oh, Great.  CMO: Show us on Main Screen

FCO Shilos says:
::eyes the navigational sensor readings curiously:: *CEO* Glad you approved, your welcome.

CMO Hayes says:
::activates main screen::

CMO Hayes says:
XO: Done.

CEO Bishara says:
Lt. Thomas: Main engineering is in your hands.  I am heading for the bridge.

CEO Bishara says:
*XO*: Sir on my way.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CMO: Thank you.  Can you speculate on the origin of such energy readings?

XO Commander Z’heta says:
*CMO* Understood.

Host SM Steve says:
Action: Just off of dead ahead, a large area of space is glowing in what appears to be a sustained explosion of some sort.

CMO Hayes says:
XO: Sir, I detect what looks like a huge warp bubble with a radius about the size of a red giant star... wait... I'm getting more info...

CEO Bishara says:
::enters the TL::  Computer: Bridge Express.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
FCO: turn us back just a bit.  I don't want to be caught in unknown source energies.

FCO Shilos says:
XO: Navigational sensors show that the local ambient temperature is above normal at about twenty degrees Kelvin.

CMO Hayes says:
XO: What you see on screen, that glow, is that sustained explosion. Scans can't penetrate it but it seems that inside the area inside is experimenting fusion reactions.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
FCO: Shields up.

CMO Hayes says:
XO: It appears to become more intense as we get in deeper.

FCO Shilos says:
::Slows the engines slowly again and applies reverse thrust to begin a slow drift backward than raises shields:: XO: Understood, and done sir.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CMO: Would a probe do the job that our scans don't?

XO Commander Z’heta says:
FCO: How's hull temperature know?

CMO Hayes says:
XO: I'm not sure a probe would work due to the massive reactions... but it wouldn't hurt to try, sir.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CMO: Go ahead and prepare one. BTW, are there any signs of the USS Chronus?

CEO Bishara says:
::tumbles out of the lift:: All: Damn lift again I had that fixed yesterday.

CMO Hayes says:
::nods and prepares a probe::

CEO Bishara says:
*Engineering*: Get someone on the number two lift and get it fixed yesterday!!!]

FCO Shilos says:
XO: Hull temperature remains nominal, navigational shielding can handle the heat easily.

CMO Hayes says:
XO: Probe ready when you are. Scanning for the Chronus...

Host SM Steve says:
Action: A Radio Frequency message is detected from a point just off from the disturbance, at a heading of 355, mark 63, distance 2.3 AU's.

CEO Bishara says:
::looks at the view screen:: Outloud: Whoa what in the name of the Sam hill blazes is that?  That looks like a fusion reactor explosion.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CMO: Launch it.

CMO Hayes says:
::launches the probe towards the glow::

CEO Bishara says:
XO: Permission to open my station?

FCO Shilos says:
XO: Incoming radio frequency message, directed at us.  It is coming from just off the disturbance.

CMO Hayes says:
::hears the FCO:: XO: That could be the Chronus, sir.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::looks at the CEO:: CEO: I'm glad you're here.  Analyse the data from sensors, please.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
FCO: On speakers.

CEO Bishara says:
Self: Radio emission?? Oh nuts.

CEO Bishara says:
XO: Thank you sir and glad to be here.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::nods to the CEO::

FCO Shilos says:
CMO: It could be anyone. XO: Aye sir.  ::Puts the message on speakers trying to clean out some of the background noise.::

Host SM Steve says:
<Chronus CTO Gorge> COM: Any Ship In Range: This is the USS Chronus, to any ship within range.  We are in desperate shape.  If you can hear us, keep clear of the disturbance until a Starfleet Vessel can arrive.  We do require assistance, but the disturbance is very dangerous.  All Civilian vessels be advised to keep clear.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
FCO: Open a channel, please.

CEO Bishara says:
::walks to her station:: Computer: Open bridge engineering station.  Voice ID recognition T'Lisha Sonri Bishara Voice ID Beta 9735 Lambda.

CEO Bishara says:
<computer>: Voice ID recognized as CEO Lt. T'Lisha Sonri Bishara ID Beta 9735 Lambda.

FCO Shilos says:
XO: I will attempt to, however, I do not know if they will be able to receive on subspace.  ::sends a subspace hail in the general direction that the Chronus' hail came from on all channels::

CMO Hayes says:
::checks if the probe is working and sending data::

CEO Bishara says:
::begins to analyze the source of radio transmition::  XO: Sir this is an old frequency sir.  I don't think they will be able to hear us on subspace.  They seem to b e sending it on the RF transceivers.  Maybe to get through this they had to use them.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CEO: Understood. FCO: Try yo open a channel on RF instead.

CEO Bishara says:
::still doing passive neutrino scans and now adding to them the Thermal variances to get some idea of what the blazes is this glowing thing in front of the ship::

FCO Shilos says:
::switches over to the RF transceivers and resends the hail on the same trajectory, than focuses navigational sensors along that trajectory, assuming that the XO will ask her to plot a course::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CMO: Any news from our probe?

CMO Hayes says:
XO: Sir, the probe is working. There seems to be a rift in subspace in the centre of the bubble. It is leaking in energy at a great rate.

CEO Bishara says:
CMO: What type of energy???

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CMO: What's causing the rift?

CMO Hayes says:
XO/CEO: I do not know at the moment.

CEO Bishara says:
XO: This is definitely not only a rift in space but it was caused by a fusion reaction.  All the Hydrogen in the bubble is fusing into Helium.  This is not a good situation sir.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CMO: Transfer the data from the probe to the CEO. She's also analysing those signals.

CMO Hayes says:
XO: Aye. Transferring ::does so::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
FCO: Has the Chronus acknowledged our RF signal?

Host SM Steve says:
<Chronus CTO Gorge> COM: Paula Greene:This is the Chronus, be advised, keep clear of the edge of the bubble!  We seem to have opened a Quantum rift, and the dimension we opened into has fundamentally different laws.  It seems the laws are leaking into ours, which has increased the nuclear forces and caused cold fusion reactions in space.

FCO Shilos says:
::makes sure that the message is coming thru to the speakers:: XO: Coming in now.

CEO Bishara says:
::begins to receive the transmission from the CMO and realizes the stark reality of just what is occuring::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
COM: Chronus: I'm Commander Z'heta.  Are you trapped in the centre of the bubble?

CMO Hayes says:
::keeps scanning as she listens to the comm::

CEO Bishara says:
XO: We need to stay clear of this. This is a quantum rift that they play havoc with all ships functions.  Nothing is a guarantee on anything near one of these things.  To many variables to deal with.

Host SM Steve says:
<Chronus CTO Gorge> COM: XO: No commander, we're outside the edge.  We were lucky the initial contact didn't blast us to pieces, but it did throw us clear, and thrusters have kept us there.

CEO Bishara says:
XO: Ask them how much longer can they maintain thrust while there?

Host SM Steve says:
<Chronus CTO Gorge> COM: XO: But what's happening is all free Hydrogen is looking to fuse, and it don't care whether that's in space, in Deuterium tanks, or in the anti-deuterium tanks.

FCO Shilos says:
::whistles quietly::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
COM: Chronus: Can you send your sensors data to us?  We'll try to understand what happened and to find a way of closing the quantum anomaly.

CMO Hayes says:
XO: That's a good idea, sir. It will help us tremendously.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::nods at the CEO::  COM: For how long will you be able to stand your current position?

Host SM Steve says:
<Chronus CTO Gorge> COM: XO: I'll try, not sure how much we can retrieve from the computer.  Core was damaged in the initial explosion.  Thank whatever gods are listening that the storage tanks are well enforced.  We can keep thrust ahead of the rift for some time, but could use a pull out.  Maybe then we could get some data from the computer core

XO Commander Z’heta says:
COM: Understood.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
FCO: Plot a course to take us in, just until the Chronus is within tractor beam range.

FCO Shilos says:
::sets a course to the Chronus' location and powers up the tractor beam:: XO: Yes sir.

CEO Bishara says:
*Engineering*: Set condition red all containment fields full forcefields and lace them with Kelvanite

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CMO/CEO: Have you a theory on how to stop the hydrogen fusion?

FCO Shilos says:
::ensures that the ship will not cross into the bubble:: XO: Course ready to engage.

CMO Hayes says:
XO: mmm... sir? Scans of the Chronus show that their engineering section is a huge wreck. It appears to have been blasted from the inside out. More explosions did further damage.

CEO Bishara says:
XO: Right now I am taking measures to protect our own hydrogen on the ship.  Next I will look for a way to try to stop the leak.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::nods at the CMO and CEO::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
FCO: Take us in, slowly.

CEO Bishara says:
*Engineering*: All quantum Hydrogen protection protocols in place now!!!! Move it and hurry.

FCO Shilos says:
XO: By your command sir, one half impulse ::engages and begins trying to get a tractor beam lock on the Chronus::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
FCO: and be ready to back down whenever needed, I dont want us trapped in there too.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CEO: Stand by for extra power to engines.

CMO Hayes says:
XO: The rift and bubble are expanding, sir. At a rate of about 5 meters per second...

XO Commander Z’heta says:
COM: Chronus: We're moving in on your location.  We'll try to use our tractor beam on you.  Do you have many casualties?

CEO Bishara says:
::looks at the XO:: XO: Sir????? You want to use warp in here???  It will pull the rift after us like a magnet.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CEO: Just impulse engines.  Reroute power from sensors to them, if needed.

CEO Bishara says:
XO: Ok now I see what you want.  You got it.

CEO Bishara says:
::brigs the impulse power to 100%::

CEO Bishara says:
FCO: You got all the impulse power at your finger tips.

CMO Hayes says:
XO: Sorry I cannot be of more help than read scans and send probes sir. I'm from medical not science and there is a reason why...  Anyway, going to keep analysing the Chronus and keep an eye on the bubble..

FCO Shilos says:
CEO: That's good to hear.  ::Continues to move the Paula Greene closer to the Chronos slowly::

Host SM Steve says:
<Chronus CTO Gorge> COM: XO: Very heavy casualties, we lost most of Engineering, lucky most of the senior staff was on the Bridge.  We've only got about 20 people left, but injuries are light among them.

Host SM Steve says:
Action: Tractor beams lock onto the Chronus.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CMO: you're doing just fine doctor.  The Chronus crew will probably need you services in Sick Bay, in a few moments.

CEO Bishara says:
::watches the power grids for any spikes in power or fluctuations::

FCO Shilos says:
::sees the tractor beam lock:: XO: We have them, sir coming around now.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
COM: Understood.  Our Sick Bay is advised.

FCO Shilos says:
::ensures that the tractor beam is firmly locked on the vessel and begins towing her clear of the bubble.::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
FCO: steady as she goes, Lieutenant.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CMO: What say our internal sensors? Hull stress and temperature normal?

CEO Bishara says:
::continues to watch the sensors and the engineering boards at the same time::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CEO: How is our hydrogen? Still intact?

CEO Bishara says:
XO: So far my protocols for our own hydrogen seem to be holding.

CMO Hayes says:
XO: Our ship and everything outside the bubble is normal sir.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CEO: Great news.  Perhaps if they keep our hydrogen safe, they can stop the other Hydrogens for fusion.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CMO: Good to hear that.

Host SM Steve says:
<Chronus CTO Gorge> COM: XO: I'm transmitting our casualty lists and current roster.  And our Captain will obviously want to speak with you.  His hands just got a touch less busy, now that we have backup.

CEO Bishara says:
XO: It is a possibility but in lieu of the fact that most of their engineering section is totalled, I would then suggest that we create a warp core breech within the rift for it to collapse in on its self.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
COM: Very well.  You can transfer your wounded crewman to our Sick Bay When we drop the shields.

CEO Bishara says:
XO: You are going to do what?!?!?!?!?!

FCO Shilos says:
::stands by to power down the shields::

CEO Bishara says:
FCO: About how far away is the Chronos from the event horizon?

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CEO: easy, I don't intend to drop shields until we're quite away from the bubble.

CMO Hayes says:
XO: I guess I'll make my way to sickbay, then.

CEO Bishara says:
XO: Ok for a moment sir you had me wondering.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CMO: Not just yet, doctor, we still need you here a bit further.

FCO Shilos says:
CEO: Chronus is now over fifty thousand Km from the horizon.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
FCO: Can the Chronus fly by herself without our tractor beam?

CMO Hayes says:
XO: Aye

CEO Bishara says:
FCO: Ok that is a safe distance.  If one of those hydrogen things get onboard it is curtains for our own hydrogen.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CEO: run a computer simulation; see how the rift will react to a warp core breech.

CEO Bishara says:
XO: For that I need no simulation.  I have been through it before.

FCO Shilos says:
XO: The Chronus is lacking structural integrity field and inertial dampeners, she's only able to make thrusters power, sir.

CEO Bishara says:
XO: Sir I suggest that we extend our shields around her to keep her intact.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CEO: Does the Chronus still have her warp core?

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CEO: Go ahead.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
FCO: Maintain the tractor beam

CEO Bishara says:
::keys in the PG shields to extend around the battered Miranda class ship::

CEO Bishara says:
XO: Shields extended sir.  And in answer to your question about a warp core, no she is with out her core and that is what I suspect is what caused the rift in the first place.

FCO Shilos says:
::sets the tractor beam to a continuous holding pattern:: XO: Aye sir.
