Host CO Kalla says:
::Walks out onto the bridge.::

CNS Jordain says:
TL: Bridge

EO Z`heta says:
CEO: Ma'am, may I suggest diverting power to the shields? It’s to protect us from the Super Nova radiations.  

CEO Rogers says:
::nods:: EO: of course, go ahead and do that...

CEO Rogers says:
EO: but after we report to the bridge...

CNS Jordain says:
::steps out of the TL onto the bridge and walks to his chair::

CEO Rogers says:
::heads for the TL, and waits for the EO::

EO Z`heta says:
CEO: I'm on it, ma'am.  When you coordinate with Science, just give the word and shields will be enhanced.

Host CO Kalla says:
::Looks about.:: All: Let me first tell you that I think you all did a good job on our last mission.

Host CO Kalla says:
All: And now. CEO: Front and center

CEO Rogers says:
::goes and stands front and center::

EO Z`heta says:
::Looks at his Chief::

Host CO Kalla says:
CEO: With the power vested in me by Starfleet I hereby promote you to Lieutenant Commander with the power and responsibility inherent to that rank.

Host CO Kalla says:
::Pins the new open pip on Trial's shoulder and holds out her hand.:: CEO: Congratulations.

::Looks about again and catches CTO Senek's eye.:: CTO: Front and center.

CTO Senek says:
::Goes to CO::

Host CO Kalla says:
CTO: With the power vested in me by Starfleet I hereby promote you to Lieutenant Commander with the power and responsibility inherent to that rank.

Host CO Kalla says:
::Pins the new open pip on Senek's shoulder and salutes him.:: CTO: Congratulations.

CTO Senek says:
::Salutes CO:: CO: Thank you, sir.

CNS Jordain says:
::stands up to get a better look at all of them::

CSO Sketek says:
::Feels happy for his brother::

Host CO Kalla says:
CTO: You may step down. All: Back to your stations. We will arrive in ten minutes.

CTO Senek says:
::Goes back to tactical::

CSO Sketek says:
::Goes back to the science::

CNS Jordain says:
::sits back down in his chair::

CEO Rogers says:
::returns to the TL and goes back to ME to finish up with the Engineering teams::

EO Z`heta says:
CEO: Congratulations Lieutenant Commander! ::Walks back on to the TL::

Host CO Kalla says:
CTO: I assume everything is ready for the away mission to the Angel of Mercy.

Host John Sea says:
Action:  The Andromeda is approaching the Arbor system, Short Range Sensors detect the USS Angel of Mercy adrift as well as a significant amount of ionization and solar flares emanating from the star

CTO Senek says:
CO: Equipment will be prepared right away.

Host CO Kalla says:
CTO: Thank you.

Host CO Kalla says:
CSO: Any readings from the Arbor system yet?

CSO Sketek says:
::Scanning for the life signs on the USS Angel of Mercy::

FCO Durron says:
::modifies the course again surprised that he has made all these mistakes but shortens the route by almost a second.:: CO: We are approaching the Arbor system now Ma'am.

CTO Senek says:
::Signals transporter room to prepare environmental suits for the mission::

CEO Rogers says:
::notifies 2 other EO's that they will be on the engineering team::

Host CO Kalla says:
FCO: See how close you can get to the Angel of Mercy.

FCO Durron says:
CO: aye ma'am

CTO Senek says:
::Informs the transporter room that medical equipment is also needed::

Host CO Kalla says:
CNS: I would like you to go to the Angel of Mercy with the away team as your psychological knowledge could be useful there.

CNS Jordain says:
CO: Aye Ma'am

Host CO Kalla says:
*CEO* Have you got everything packed for a rescue operation on a dead ship?

CEO Rogers says:
*CO* yes ma'am, I'm just going over it all to make sure it's all in order

Host CO Kalla says:
*CEO* Excellent.

EO Z`heta says:
::in ME, getting the power relays ready to upgrade the shields::

CSO Sketek says:
CO: There are 5000 humanoid life signs on the USS Angel of Mercy. The radiation is beginning to go over the limits there.

CTO Senek says:
CO: The radiation from the star is also making transporters unable to function. We will use a shuttle.

CNS Jordain says:
CTO: Sir, can you please inform me when we leave, I have to get some thing out off my office.

CTO Senek says:
CNS: We will be leaving as soon as we arrive in the system. Meet me in Shuttle Bay one as soon as possible.

Host CO Kalla says:
CNS: How is your medical knowledge?

CNS Jordain says:
CO: Not that good Ma'am but I think I can manage.  CTO: Yes Sir

FCO Durron says:
::taps the commands into his console to drop out of warp and engages impulse engines::

CSO Sketek says:
::Modifying a solar probe to be sent to the star::

CTO Senek says:
::Informs someone to transfer the environmental suits and medical equipment to SB1::

CSO Sketek says:
CTO: I am loading a solar probe to one of the torpedo tubes if that is fine with tactical.

CTO Senek says:
CSO: It is, Sir.

EO Z`heta says:
CEO: Commander, more power is available to shields as soon as you or the CSO give the order.

CEO Rogers says:
EO: if it is alright, you will be in charge of Main Engineering while the away team is on the Angel of Mercy

EO Z`heta says:
CEO: Yes, ma'am!

CEO Rogers says:
::nods::

Host CO Kalla says:
::Smiles a bit.:: CNS: I was thinking more of helping the AoM with their radiation problem.

CSO Sketek says:
CO: The hull of the USS Angel of Mercy is heavily ionized making it impossible to use tractor beams to tow it unless it's deionized with magnets.

Host CO Kalla says:
CTO: Can we take a shuttle to the AoM?

CTO Senek says:
CO: I believe so.

CTO Senek says:
*CEO* We're going to have use a shuttle because of the solar radiation. Meet me in SB1 and we'll be on our way.

CEO Rogers says:
*CTO* thank you, I will be there in a minute

FCO Durron says:
::looks at his console and eases the Andromeda as close as he can to the Angel of Mercy with out hitting it and turns the Andromeda's Bow toward the Star and tries to put the Angel of Mercy between the Andromeda and the star::

CTO Senek says:
::Heads for SB1::

CSO Sketek says:
All: Launching a solar probe to scan for the decay rate and future of the star.

CSO Sketek says:
::Launches the probe::

Host CO Kalla says:
CSO: Good idea.

CEO Rogers says:
*CSO* if more power is needed for the shields, please notify the EO, and he will have it available to you as quickly as possible

EO Z`heta says:
::hears the CEO communication and nods::

Host John Sea says:
Action:  The Angel of Mercy's shields just failed

CNS Jordain says:
CO: Aye Ma'am. If you do not need me anymore captain I need some thing from my office before I leave.

Host John Sea says:
Action:  The solar probe is launched

CSO Sketek says:
*CEO*: We are doing fine without additional shield power at the moment but I'll keep that in mind in case we need to reinforce the shields from standard strength.

CEO Rogers says:
::grabs a bag and orders the 2 EO's to meet her in SB1 and heads for the TL ordering it to SB1::

Host CO Kalla says:
CNS: Go ahead, Counselor.

CNS Jordain says:
::Nods at the captain and runs to the TL::

Host CO Kalla says:
*CTO*: Take the Perseus then.

Host CO Kalla says:
FCO: Open a channel to the AoM.

CTO Senek says:
*CO* Aye, sir.

CEO Rogers says:
::steps off the TL with the 2 EO's and waits for the CTO::

CTO Senek says:
::Arrives at SB1 and sees CEO and the EOs::

FCO Durron says:
CO: aye Ma'am ::taps the console in the proper matter to open a channel to the Angel of Mercy:: CO: Channel open.

CNS Jordain says:
::gets out of the TL and runs to his Office and gets his stuff. Runs back to the TL:: TL: Shuttle Bay one

EO Z`heta says:
::works on a efficient way to use the deflector dish to prevent solar particles to hit the AT just in case anything goes wrong...::

Host CO Kalla says:
COMM: Angel of Mercy: This is Captain Kalla of the USS Andromeda we are here to assist you. We are sending over a team of engineers by shuttle to help.

CNS Jordain says:
::exits the TL and goes to SB1::

CSO Sketek says:
CO: I must warn you that the radiation levels on the Angel of Mercy are rapidly increasing after it dropped its shields.

CTO Senek says:
CEO: We'll be taking the Perseus. We'll also need environmental suits because of the radiation.

Host CO Kalla says:
CSO: Are we in danger?

CSO Sketek says:
CO: We are not but the crew and colonists on the Angel of Mercy might be.

Host CO Kalla says:
CSO: Yes, thank you.

Host CO Kalla says:
*CTO* Make sure to protect yourselves against the heavy radiation.

CTO Senek says:
::Puts an environmental suit on and gets on board the Perseus::

CTO Senek says:
*CO* We'll be using environmental suits.

Host CO Kalla says:
*CTO*`Excellent.

Host John Sea says:
<Capt. Healer> Comm: USS Andromeda: We are adrift and our people are suffering from radiation poisoning, if our engines are cleaned out we could escape

Host CO Kalla says:
COMM: AoM: Our engineers are on the way. Prepare to receive a shuttle.

CSO Sketek says:
CO: I also got the readings from the probe. The mass of the star can't be measured accurate enough to say if it's going to become a black hole. Also the moment when it shall violently explode is unknown.

CNS Jordain says:
::enters SB1 and sees the CTO::

CEO Rogers says:
::gets into an Environmental suit, as do the 2 EO's, and boards the Pers.::

Host CO Kalla says:
FCO: Have a course ready to get us out of here as quickly as possible.

Host John Sea says:
Action:  The Andromeda shakes as a solar wave hits it, no damage

Host CO Kalla says:
CSO: Try and see if you can get any kind of lock on the away team.

CSO Sketek says:
CO: I will try.

FCO Durron says:
CO: understood Ma'am

Host CO Kalla says:
::Feels the unsteadiness.::

EO Z`heta says:
::Feels the shake and configures the Bussard Collectors to fill up the Matter containers thanks to this Solar winds::

Host CO Kalla says:
CSO: It may be easier once the radiation clears.

CSO Sketek says:
::Slaves the OPS console to his::

CTO Senek says:
::Waits for the CNS to come aboard::

CSO Sketek says:
CO: The transporter difficulties are caused by solar flares and basically the only way for them to disappear is for the star to explode.

CNS Jordain says:
::gets in to the Perseus::

Host CO Kalla says:
::Twists a corner of her mouth.:: CSO: A rather drastic solution to that problem I would say.

CTO Senek says:
@::Takes the helm:: All: Ready?

EO Z`heta says:
*CSO*: Sir, I'm on standby to give more power to the shields or sensors if you need.  Or even to the inertial dampers if the FCO finds it necessary.

CEO Rogers says:
@CTO: ready, ::looks at the others for their confirmations::

CNS Jordain says:
@CTO: Ready Sir

CTO Senek says:
@::Pilots the Perseus out of the hangar:: *CO* We're on our way.

CSO Sketek says:
*EO*: Yes, that is a very good precaution. I will inform you immediately if the star is destabilizing.

CTO Senek says:
@::Sets course for the AoM::

EO Z`heta says:
*CSO*: Ok; enginering out.

FCO Durron says:
::looks at the console and tries to get the Andromeda's engines into the shadow created by the Angel of Mercy::

CSO Sketek says:
CO: I just did some calculations based on my scans of the Angel of Mercy and if they are correct, the ship can escape on its own engines if we manage to remove the dust from the engines.

Host CO Kalla says:
FCO: If possible and necessary, see if you can get a tow to the AoM when the ionization clears.

Host CO Kalla says:
CSO: Yes, the away team will have to work fast over there.

FCO Durron says:
::looks at his console again:: CO: I will ma'am.

Host CO Kalla says:
*CTO* Excellent.

Host CO Kalla says:
::Looks at the main viewer.:: CSO: A big ship, Commander.

Host John Sea says:
Action:  The star violently and unpredictably sheds some mass.....incoming shock waves...

CSO Sketek says:
CO: It is very big and too precious to be wasted for small engine trouble.

CTO Senek says:
@CEO: Raise shields!

Host CO Kalla says:
*EO*: Make sure we have power enough for the shields as well as for the warp engines. We should be able to do at least warp 7 at a moment's notice.

EO Z`heta says:
*CO*: Yes Captain!

CTO Senek says:
@All: Incoming shock wave.

CEO Rogers says:
@::raises shields on the Perseus::

Host CO Kalla says:
CSO: Agreed. It would be a stupid waste of resources.

CTO Senek says:
@::Sees if the AoM has shuttle bays::

CSO Sketek says:
CO: As I have had time to do more in-depth scans, I have come into conclusion that the star will eventually become a black hole.

CNS Jordain says:
@::gets into his suite but falls down doing so::

Host CO Kalla says:
CSO: Well, at least we know what to expect then. Let us hope it does not happen until we are safely out of here.

Host John Sea says:
Action:  The Andromeda and the shuttle shake from the shock wave

EO Z`heta says:
::"Heats" up the Warp core to start its reaction pronto::

CEO Rogers says:
@::holds onto a console::

Host CO Kalla says:
::Grabs the back of a console to stay on her feet.::

FCO Durron says:
::steadies the Andromeda again behind the Angel of Mercy and prepares two courses out system::

CTO Senek says:
@::Tries to remain steady:: CEO: How are our shields?

CSO Sketek says:
::Managed to stay on his feet::

CNS Jordain says:
@::gets back up and zips himself up::

Host John Sea says:
Action:  The shuttle docks with the Angel of Mercy

CEO Rogers says:
@::checks the shields::

CTO Senek says:
@All: We're now docking with the Angel of Mercy.

CEO Rogers says:
@CTO: shields are holding

CTO Senek says:
@CEO: Good. You will have to take the engineers immediately to the engines, we don't have that much time.

CTO Senek says:
@CNS: We'll be going to see if we can help the people on board.

CEO Rogers says:
@::nods and gets up to leave the pers and head for the AoM's ME:: EO1/EO2: come on you 2, we have work to do

CNS Jordain says:
@CTO: Yes Sir.

CTO Senek says:
@::Gets to the AoM through the air lock::

CNS Jordain says:
@::follows the CTO::

FCO Durron says:
::taps at his console and sets up a course that would include the Angel of Mercy being tractored along::

CEO Rogers says:
@::steps through the airlock and heads for the AoM's outside engine access with the 2 EO's trailing behind::

CTO Senek says:
@*CO* The situation on the AoM is probably getting worse all the time due to the radiation. Is it possible to try and shield them better by extending the Andromeda's shields around the AoM?

EO Z`heta says:
::Verifies if the warp core has the critical mass necessary to engage warp reaction immediately::

CTO Senek says:
@::Heads for the bridge of the AoM::

Host CO Kalla says:
FCO: See what you can do with our shields.

FCO Durron says:
*EO*: how is it going down there?

Host CO Kalla says:
*CTO* We are working on that.

FCO Durron says:
CO: aye

CTO Senek says:
@*CO* Thank you, sir.

Host John Sea says:
Action:  The star begins to collapse onto itself

Host CO Kalla says:
CSO: Anything else we may do to counteract the radiation?

EO Z`heta says:
*FCO*: The Warp Core is standing by; just say the word!

FCO Durron says:
::Begins reconfiguring the shield geometry to circle the Angel of Mercy as well::

CSO Sketek says:
CO: There is a massive shock wave coming in five minutes.

Host CO Kalla says:
CSO: One we cannot take?

FCO Durron says:
CO: I do hope you know this will seriously jeopardize our shield strength. Ma'am.

CTO Senek says:
@::Finds the bridge and looks for the captain::

Host CO Kalla says:
FCO: Get all you can from engineering.

CSO Sketek says:
CO: Calculating...

FCO Durron says:
CO: yes ma'am

CNS Jordain says:
@::enters the AoM Bridge::

CSO Sketek says:
CO: We can still take this shock wave.

CEO Rogers says:
@::climbs outside the engines and walks around, letting the magnetic boots pull away the dust in the engines, the EO's do the same::

CSO Sketek says:
*EO*: Reinforce the shields at full available power.

Host John Sea says:
Action:  the shock wave breaks across the Andromeda's shields, shields at 80 percent

CEO Rogers says:
@::runs some scans with a tricorder to make sure what their doing is working::

Host CO Kalla says:
CSO: Good. All hands: Brace for impact.

EO Z`heta says:
*CSO*: Aye aye, Sir! ::Reroutes power to the shields::

*** ACTDJohn Sea is now known as CO Healer

Host CO Kalla says:
*CTO* Brace yourselves a shockwave is coming.

Host CO Healer says:
CTO: welcome aboard

CTO Senek says:
@Healer: Thank you, sir. Our chief engineer and her crew should already by working with your engines.

Host CO Healer says:
Action:  The magnets begin to pull away the dust

CSO Sketek says:
CO: Shields at 80%.

CNS Jordain says:
@::hears the message from the captain over the commbadge and tries to hold on to something::

FCO Durron says:
::almost falls out of his chair.::

Host CO Healer says:
CTO: We are most grateful; can you help us get our shields up?

CTO Senek says:
@Healer: I will see what I can do. How are your passengers?

CEO Rogers says:
@*CTO* The magnets in our boots seem to be pulling the dust away with success

Host CO Kalla says:
CSO: Good. That should be sufficient.

Host CO Healer says:
Action:  The star collapses again....it is now 1/8th its size and 8 times as dense, gravity in the system is now beginning to pull on both ships

CTO Senek says:
@*CEO* Good. Keep up the good work and we'll soon have this ship out of here.

Host CO Kalla says:
FCO: Can we keep our position?

CSO Sketek says:
CO: The star is rapidly destabilizing... another shock wave coming.

FCO Durron says:
CO: I am sure that we can, but it is the Angel of Mercy I am worried about.

CEO Rogers says:
@EO1/EO2: keep up the good work you 2

Host CO Kalla says:
FCO: Is it still not possible to tow them?

Host CO Kalla says:
CSO: When will our situation become critical?

CSO Sketek says:
CO: We are getting more near and near the critical point all the time. Unfortunately the changes in the star are rather unpredictable.

CTO Senek says:
@Healer: How are the passengers? Our counselor is here to help, if difficulties arise.

FCO Durron says:
CO: It is not. Nor has it been previously a possibility to tow them unless the away team can clear the ionized dust away from the hull.

CNS Jordain says:
@::looks around on the bridge::

Host CO Healer says:
Action:  The shockwave shakes both ships, the CEO momentarily loses her footing but regains it

CTO Senek says:
@::Almost falls as the shock wave hits the AoM::

Host CO Kalla says:
FCO: I see.

CEO Rogers says:
@::almost falls away from the ship::

CSO Sketek says:
::Falls on his knees as the shock wave hits Andromeda::

Host CO Kalla says:
CSO: Thank you.

Host CO Kalla says:
::Hits the back of her chair as she stumbles along.::

Host CO Healer says:
Action:  The freighter is being pulled away from the Andromeda towards the star

CTO Senek says:
@::Goes to see the AoM's engineering console and tries to bring the shields online::

CEO Rogers says:
@::mutters under her breath:: why can't people warn me about these things?

Host CO Kalla says:
::Sees it on the main viewer.:: FCO: Keep us close.

CNS Jordain says:
@::walks to a man on the bridge how seems a bit scared. Tries to calm him down::

FCO Durron says:
::allows the Andromeda to drift with the Angel of Mercy but keeps the two from colliding with the thrusters::

CEO Rogers says:
@::stands back up again and continues with her work::

Host CO Healer says:
Action:  The star reduces mass again sending out a radiation wave that will kill anything on the outside of the ship....the engines are now clear...

Host CO Kalla says:
FCO: Could we act as a buffer between the AoM and the star?

EO Z`heta says:
::Closes down the Bussard collectors and diverts more power to shields::

CSO Sketek says:
CO: A deadly shock wave is coming in. We must evacuate right now.

FCO Durron says:
CO: yes ma'am but that would put our engines at risk as well.

CSO Sketek says:
CO: However the engines of Angel of Mercy are operational now.

Host CO Kalla says:
CSO: Thank you.

CEO Rogers says:
@EO1/EO2: alright, we're done here, we'd better get back inside ::heads back for the porthole that they came through::

Host CO Kalla says:
*CEO* Get back inside now. In two minutes you will be hit by a killing wave.

Host CO Kalla says:
*CTO* When that wave passes get back here if all your business is complete.

CTO Senek says:
@*CO* Aye, sir.

CEO Rogers says:
@*CO* Good thing we're finished then ma'am, EO1/EO2: hurry up you 2, there's a killer shock wave coming

Host CO Healer says:
Action:  The star finally implodes....all light is draw into its almost infinite core, matter streams towards the new black hole never to be seen again, a swirling stream of debris now form the event horizon...the engines on the Angel of Mercy come online

CEO Rogers says:
@::gets into the porthole at the last second the 2 EO's behind her::

Host CO Kalla says:
*CTO* Belay that. Stay on the AoM while both ships get out of here.

CTO Senek says:
@::Notices that the engines are online:: Healer: Your engines are back online, we're ready warp out.

Host CO Kalla says:
FCO: Ready on my order.

Host CO Kalla says:
*CEO* Are you back inside?

CNS Jordain says:
@::the man is back at peace with his mind, looks for someone else how needs his help::

CEO Rogers says:
@*CO* yes ma'am, safe and sound

Host CO Kalla says:
CSO: Get as many readings as you can. This is an opportunity not to be missed - the creation of a black hole.

FCO Durron says:
CO: understood. Ma'am

Host CO Healer says:
Action:  Both ships are being drawn at a dizzying speed toward the black hole...its now or never...

CSO Sketek says:
CO: I am recording all incoming data.

FCO Durron says:
CO: captain. I think we should get out of here ma'am/

Host CO Kalla says:
CSO: Excellent FCO: Engage.

Host CO Kalla says:
::Sits down.::

CEO Rogers says:
@::heads back to where the CTO is located on the AoM::

FCO Durron says:
*EO*:hope you are ready.

CTO Senek says:
@Healer: The star has collapsed. We must warp out of here.

EO Z`heta says:
*FCO*: I am, Sir!

FCO Durron says:
::hits the controls to take the Andromeda out system at warp::

EO Z`heta says:
::releases Matter/Anti-matter on to the core::

Host CO Healer says:
Action:  The USS Andromeda and Angel of Mercy head away from the black hole and enter warp space....the view on the rear angle is beautiful, a new black hole seen from high warp

Host CO Kalla says:
*CTO* When we are at a safe distance we can both go down to warp one so you can come back.

Host CO Kalla says:
COMM: Healer: I suggest that we go to warp one at a safe distance so my people can get back.

CTO Senek says:
@*CO* Aye.

Host CO Healer says:
COMM: USS Andromeda: Agreed and thank you

Host CO Kalla says:
COMM: Healer: Anytime.

CEO Rogers says:
@::stops beside the CTO:: CTO: everything alright here?

CNS Jordain says:
@::helps another soul how is still afraid::

CTO Senek says:
@CEO: Everything's fine, thanks to you. AT: We're ready to go back to the Andromeda. Good work everyone.

CEO Rogers says:
@::nods, glad that her work has helped someone today::

Host CO Healer says:
End USS Andromeda "Rescue" 10111.25
