Host CO Kalla says:
::Types her keyboard once and the text disappears, she is not happy about this one.::

OPS Joseph says:
::goes through normal diagnostic routines at his station::

Host CO Kalla says:
*OPS* Let me know when we are in hailing range of Harlan's world.

OPS Joseph says:
*CO* Aye, Captain.

FCO Durron says:
::begins doing something on his console::

CEO Rogers says:
::reads over the reports on a padd::

CNS Jordain says:
::exits TL on the bridge, nods at the CSO and walks to the Captains ready room. Rings the doorbell::

Host CO Kalla says:
::Hears the chime.:: CNS: Enter

CNS Jordain says:
::enters the room:: CO: Yes Ma'am, you requested my presence?

Host CO Kalla says:
::Looks up from her desk as he enters, sits down and the door closes behind him::: CNS: Have a seat

FCO Durron says:
::checks course:: CSO: ETA is ten minutes to Harlan's world. sir

EO Z`heta says:
::Enters ME and compliments the Chief Engineer::

CNS Jordain says:
::walks to the chair and sits himself down::

Host CO Kalla says:
::Looks straight at him.:: CNS: I need to know the state of our crew. As far as I can see we have no problems, but can they take a very difficult mission where they will not know where we are going and why

CNS Jordain says:
CO: I think most of them can captain, but I have a few problems on board

EO Z`heta says:
CEO: Ma'am, do you have any special requests regarding our today's mission?

CSO Sketek says:
::Reviewing the scans::

CEO Rogers says:
EO: not as of the moment, just continue with routine duties for now, I'll tell you if anything comes up

EO Z`heta says:
CEO: Aye aye ::Goes to a console and does some routine check up on the starboard nacelle::

FCO Durron says:
*CEO*: Looks like we will be dropping from warp soon.  Just wanted to tell you, ma'am.

CEO Rogers says:
*FCO* thank you for notifying me

Host CO Kalla says:
CNS: Such as?

CNS Jordain says:
CO: A crewmember in engineering has some problems within his family and at this moment he is very unstable. He is improving but I can not say for sure.

FCO Durron says:
CSO: It is time to secure from warp sir.  ::Prepares to do just that::

CSO Sketek says:
FCO: Do that.

FCO Durron says:
CSO: yes sir. ::taps the buttons on his console::

CTO Senek says:
::Prepares for the worst, looks for any hostile activity in the system::

FCO Durron says:
*CEO*: securing from warp now ma'am.

CSO Sketek says:
FCO: What's our current position?

Host CO Kalla says:
CNS: Make sure that he is not on a crucial station. Do so in coordination with CEO. Is that all?

CNS Jordain says:
CO: the other cases are not so serious and will not endanger any mission. I'll talk with the CEO ASAP.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The USS Andromeda secures from Warp Space and ignites its impulse engines

CTO Senek says:
CSO: Sensors indicate traces of massive bombardment of the colony.

CEO Rogers says:
::monitors the warp engines to make sure everything goes smoothly as it should::

Host CO Kalla says:
::Feels the change in the ship.::

OPS Joseph says:
*CO* We are approaching communications range now.

Host CO Kalla says:
*OPS* Thank you. Try hailing the planet

FCO Durron says:
CSO: We are on the outskirts of the Harlan's World system.

CSO Sketek says:
FCO: Proceed at full impulse.

EO Z`heta says:
::Looks at the warp core plasma loosing its intense activity as the ship drops out of warp::

FCO Durron says:
::Modifies the preset course to the planet for full impulse:: CSO: Aye sir

OPS Joseph says:
*CO*: Aye. ::taps a few buttons, requests an open a channel to the planet::

Host CO Kalla says:
CNS: Thank you, Jordain. ::Gets up ready to enter the bridge.:: Let us go and act then. ::Exits.::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: No reply from Harlan’s World

Host CO Kalla says:
::Walks out onto the bridge.:: CSO: Status, Mr Sketek?

CSO Sketek says:
CO: Welcome back, captain. We have hailed the colony but there is no reply. The colony has took lots of damage from weapon fire. Also there are severe storms that prevent beaming.

OPS Joseph says:
::hears the all too familiar "no response" sound:: CO: No response from the planet surface.

CNS Jordain says:
::follows the captain out of her ready room:: CO: Do you need me on the bridge at this moment, ma'am?

Host CO Kalla says:
OPS: Thank you.

CSO Sketek says:
CO: I also have to point out that there is a subspace distortion in a nearby nebula.

Host CO Kalla says:
::Walks over to her chair and sits down.:: CTO: Is it advisable to take a shuttle downon the planet?

Host CO Kalla says:
CSO: What else can you tell me about Harlan's world?

CSO Sketek says:
CO: The colony is in catastrophical condition. There are heavy fires on the planet.

Host CO Kalla says:
OPS: Please keep trying on all frequencies.

FCO Durron says:
::Begins taping the thrusters lightly, and looks at the readings on his console:: CO: we have arrived in standard orbit of Harlan's world, ma'am

CTO Senek says:
CO: I can see no alternative to that, if we are to find out what happened.

Host CO Kalla says:
FCO: Keep us in stationary orbit above the colony.

Host CO Kalla says:
CTO: Conditions on the planet?

OPS Joseph says:
::nods in silent compliance.  Begins rotating around all possible comm frequencies::

FCO Durron says:
CO: aye, ma’am.  ::moves the ship into a Geocentric orbit::

Host CO Kalla says:
*CEO* Get a shuttle ready for an away mission.

CNS Jordain says:
CO: Ma'am do you need me on the bridge right now?

Host CO Kalla says:
CNS: No, not at present.

CTO Senek says:
CO: There are severe storms in the atmosphere, the colony took quite a bombardment and fires are loose. Conditions are very bad.

Host CO Kalla says:
CTO: Life form readings?

CSO Sketek says:
CO: The planet is standard class-M planet with very pleasant conditions. The colony on the planet is very massive, total 300 000 people.

CNS Jordain says:
::nods at the captain an walks to the TL:: TL: Main Engineering. *CEO*: Can I speak with you for a moment?

CEO Rogers says:
*CO*: yes ma'am

FCO Durron says:
CO: Ma'am. if you are considering sending a shuttle down to the planet I would like to pilot it ma'am.

OPS Joseph says:
::frowns as each comm channel fails one after another::

CEO Rogers says:
*CNS*: If you wish to speak to me while I'm on my way to the Shuttle Bay, I suppose I could talk to you........is it important?

Host CO Kalla says:
CSO: Life form readings?

CEO Rogers says:
::stands and heads for the TL::

CSO Sketek says:
CO: Storms make it impossible to give any readings.

CNS Jordain says:
*CEO*: I think so, it involves on of your engineers, I'll meet you at the shuttle Bay.

Host CO Kalla says:
CTO and FCO: you are with me. ::Gets up and walks to the turbolift.

FCO Durron says:
CO: aye ma'am.  ::Checks orbit, stands up and goes to the TL::

CEO Rogers says:
*CNS*: alright ::steps into the TL and orders it to SB1::

Host CO Kalla says:
CSO: Thank you. You have the con, Mr Sketek. And make sure of this, if we disappear, no rescue missions, you will report it to 3rd Fleet command straight away.

CSO Sketek says:
CO: Understood.

CNS Jordain says:
TL: SB1 ::Exits TL and walks to the Shuttle Bay 1 ::

Host CO Kalla says:
CSO: Download all available information to shuttle computers.

Host CO Kalla says:
::The turbolift arrives and she enters.::

FCO Durron says:
::enters the TL after the CO::

Host CO Kalla says:
TL: Shuttle bay 1.

CSO Sketek says:
::Forwards relevant information to the shuttle's computers::

EO Z`heta says:
::Leads a 4 EO team to realign the magnetic constrictors on the Anti-matter containers for greater efficiency::

Host CO Kalla says:
*CEO*: Is the shuttle ready for departure?

OPS Joseph says:
::after overhearing the captain speak, flashes a "something is amiss" look the the CSO::

Host CO Kalla says:
::Thinks that a bigger party may be a good idea.:: *CNS and CEO* You will join us on this mission.

CTO Senek says:
::Stands at TL with CO:: CO: I would be against that.

FCO Durron says:
CO: With all due respect ma'am I believe that you would be better suited on the ship ma'am.

CEO Rogers says:
::steps out of shuttle bay and heads for shuttle 1:: *CO* Yes ma'am, shuttle 1, ready and waiting

Host CO Kalla says:
FCO: Thank you for the opinion.

CNS Jordain says:
::arrives at SB1 and walks up to the CEO:: *CO* Aye Ma'am.

Host CO Kalla says:
::The turbolift arrives and she exits into SB1.::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: Several Engineers finish fueling the shuttle and prepping it

Host CO Kalla says:
CTO: Make sure we are all armed.

FCO Durron says:
CO: understould ma'am.  ::looks upset at being brushed off and heads for the shuttle::

CSO Sketek says:
OPS: Keep monitoring the shuttle as long as possible.

Host CO Kalla says:
@::Enters the shuttle.:: CTO: Btw, I assume the shuttle is armed as usual also with side arms?

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: A Security Force joins the CO on the shuttle

EO Z`heta says:
::orders an EO to standby to reroute power to the transporter pad, just to play it safe... ::

FCO Durron says:
@::arrives at the shuttle and heads for the pilot's chair  and begins warming it up::

Host CO Kalla says:
@::Enters the shuttle.:: FCO: Get us moving quick.

CEO Rogers says:
::enters the shuttle after everyone else is onboard::

OPS Joseph says:
CSO: Yes, sir. ::docks the shuttle information and tracking display on one corner of his console::

<CNS_Jordain>@:: enters the shuttle::

FCO Durron says:
@AT: everyone ready?

CNS Jordain says:
<@>

Host CO Kalla says:
@*OPS* We are ready to leave.

Host CO Kalla says:
@::Sets her tricorder to record.:: All: Now that we are all assembled, I can tell you that our one priority is to get contact with that colony...

OPS Joseph says:
*CO* Beginning departure sequence. ::taps his console and brings the launch tractors and the shuttlebay door online::

FCO Durron says:
@::Looks at the CO shrugs and begins to warm up the thrusters waiting for the shuttle bay doors to open::

Host CO Kalla says:
@...or find out why it is impossible. There is no alternative to that. If we loose anyone - including myself - the remaining party will continue that mission...

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: Shuttle Bay doors open to the curtain of stars

Host CO Kalla says:
@...Nothing will stop this. The only thing that counts is to get that information to 3rd Fleet Headquarters, at all costs. Understood?

CTO Senek says:
@CO: Yes, sir.

FCO Durron says:
@::eases the shuttle out of its bay on thrusters only::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The Shuttle clears the Andromeda and arcs towards the planet surface

Host CO Kalla says:
@::Stops the recording and sends it to Sketek's attention, priority one, confidential.::

CNS Jordain says:
@CO: Understood captain.

FCO Durron says:
@::plots a course for a place where the storms are lighter::

CEO Rogers says:
@::sits at the shuttles engineering console, wondering what they will find on the planets surface::

Host CO Kalla says:
@FCO: Top speed for the colony. Shields raised.

Host CO Kalla says:
@::Walks over to the arms cupboard and opens it.:: CTO: We had better arm ourselves.

CNS Jordain says:
@::starts wondering what is so important that this mission must go one at all cost. Even at the life of the captain::

EO Z`heta says:
::Since Andromeda is on standard orbit, he decides to go to the Engineering console on the bridge to best coordinate with the Senior Officers::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: As the shuttle clears the lower atmosphere surface to air photon missiles launches are detected

FCO Durron says:
@AT: this may get a bit rough. CO: aye ma'am.  I am still opposed to your presence on this mission.

<CTO_Senek-> @CO: Yes. There should be rifles for everyone.

Host CO Kalla says:
@FCO. Yes, so noted. If you have an official complaint you can lodge it when we are back at the ship.

Host CO Kalla says:
@CTO: I know. I trust you to keep these shuttles fully armed.

CSO Sketek says:
OPS: How is the shuttle doing?

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: Photon Missiles approaching the Shuttle

FCO Durron says:
@CO: I think we have Surface missile launches.

EO Z`heta says:
::Leaves an EO in charge of ME and enters TL:: TL: Deck one

CNS Jordain says:
@::looks at the FCO::

Host CO Kalla says:
@All: Everyone strap themselves down.

FCO Durron says:
@AT: Brace for impact.

Host CO Kalla says:
@FCO: Evasive manoeuvres, please.

CTO Senek says:
@::Holds tight::

OPS Joseph says:
CSO: Fine for now.

CNS Jordain says:
@::brace's himself::

FCO Durron says:
@::tries to evade the missiles:: CO: understood.

CEO Rogers says:
@::holds on::

FCO Durron says:
@::puts the Shuttle into a tight spiral than breaks to the right.::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The shuttle dodges one missile but the second one strikes the port nacelle wrenching it off completely, the shuttle violently shakes and lights go off

Host CO Kalla says:
@::Holds on tight and follows the shuttle’s manoeuvres.::

EO Z`heta says:
::Enters the Bridge::  CSO: Sir, with your permission...  ::looks at the Engineering console::

CEO Rogers says:
@::attempts to get more power to stabilize the shuttle::

FCO Durron says:
@::struggles to keep the shuttle under controlled::

OPS Joseph says:
CSO: Sir, do you see what I see? ::inferring to the photon missiles::

CSO Sketek says:
EO: Go ahead.

CSO Sketek says:
OPS: Can the shuttle take it?

Host CO Kalla says:
@FCO: Do you require assistance?

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: Emergency lights go on, the shuttle rapidly losses altitude

EO Z`heta says:
CSO: Thank you.  ::Goes to his console::

FCO Durron says:
@CO: We lost the port nacelle.

CNS Jordain says:
@self: why is it always me! ALL: If I can help just tell me.

Host CO Kalla says:
@::Raises an eyebrow.:: FCO: Do we need to abandon the shuttle, if possible?

OPS Joseph says:
CSO: Telemetry reports loss of the port nacelle, and the shuttle is descending rapidly towards the surface.

Host CO Kalla says:
@::Looks at the console, not happy at all.::

CSO Sketek says:
OPS: Unfortunate. However there is nothing we can do.

Host CO Kalla says:
@::Checks on the possibility of beaming out if necessary.::

FCO Durron says:
@CO: we are losing altitude ma'am. I may be able to get her into a controlled...crash but I don't know.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: Beaming is impossible as the shuttle begins to lose power

Host CO Kalla says:
@::Sees the impossibility.:: FCO: Do your best.

Host CO Kalla says:
@::Scans the colony for life forms.::

CSO Sketek says:
OPS: Can we communicate with the shuttle for discussing emergency beam out?

CSO Sketek says:
OPS: Or are both impossible?

FCO Durron says:
@::Tries out the thrusters:: CEO: thrusters are not responding

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: Fire in impulse engine number 2

Host CO Kalla says:
@::Remembers the good old means, opens her straps and walks to the back of the shuttle and opens a panel. Yes, they are there.:: All: Grab a parachute.

CEO Rogers says:
@::trying to bring emergency thrusters online::

OPS Joseph says:
CSO: Planetary storms are making transport impossible.  I also doubt their comm. system is functioning.

FCO Durron says:
@::spots the flashing light and hits it knowing it is bad.::

Host CO Kalla says:
@*CSO* We have to abandon the shuttle.

CEO Rogers says:
@FCO: I'm trying to bring emergency thrusters online

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: Fire in Impulse engine number one, both engines are on fire now, all lights are FCO panel go dark

EO Z`heta says:
::Enters some security protocols and transfers command of ME to the bridge::

Host CO Kalla says:
@FCO: Altitude is right now. ::Shouts.:: All: Abandon shuttle

FCO Durron says:
@CEO:ok  ::looks at his console::

Host CO Kalla says:
@::Throws a chute at everyone, puts on her own.::

CNS Jordain says:
@self: oh no not a parachute. ::goes to the back off the shuttle and takes a parachute. Puts it on and gets himself ready::

CEO Rogers says:
@::heads to the back of the shuttle and hands out "abandon vessel" packs and rifles::

Host CO Kalla says:
@All: Line up behind me.

FCO Durron says:
@AT: that  is the best I can do.  ::hits the console::

Host CO Kalla says:
@::Secures weapon and tricorder, then open the door.::

Host CO Kalla says:
@All: Jump!

CNS Jordain says:
@::jumps after the CO::

CEO Rogers says:
@::puts a parachute pack on her back and grabs a rifle for herself::

CEO Rogers says:
@::jumps::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The emergency explosive bolt on the shuttle door blows and opens to the air casting the door aside, crew begin to jump

FCO Durron says:
@::Grabs a parachute and a phaser rifle and kicks his console again::

FCO Durron says:
@::Puts the chute on and tries to get any control back::

Host CO Kalla says:
@::Sees the ground approachingat an alarming speed but waits till the last minute before she unfolds her chute and quietly drops to the ground.::

FCO Durron says:
@::looks anoyed and dives out of the shuttle::

OPS Joseph says:
CSO: Reading a small explosion, possibly the shuttle door being blown open, I believe they are trying to abandon it

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The shuttle leads a fiery trail of death and crashes into the ground exploding into a million pieces….; all crew land in the centre of the city safely

CNS Jordain says:
@::opens his chute and lands a bit heavy on the ground::

Host CO Kalla says:
@::Drops unceremoniously on her backside, gets up and takes off her chute, looks around for the others.::

CEO Rogers says:
@::unfolds he parachute at the same time as the CO::

CSO Sketek says:
OPS: Understood.

FCO Durron says:
::looks down and pulls his chute and continues to look upset::

FCO Durron says:
<@>

Host CO Kalla says:
@::Packs up her chute.:: All: Over here.

CEO Rogers says:
@::drops to the ground on her feet a bit always from the CO, loses her balance and trips, the parachute flying overtop of her::

CNS Jordain says:
@::takes off his chute and runs to the Captain::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The centre of town is littered with thousands of burned bodies, men , women and children. All dead

FCO Durron says:
@::lands and takes off his chute leaving it behind and walks over the CO::

CEO Rogers says:
@::crawls out from under the 'chute, takes it off and goes over to the CO::

CSO Sketek says:
EO: Meanwhile you could configure and send a probe to the subspace distortion nearby.

FCO Durron says:
@::looks off in the direction the shuttle was going and mutters something unintelegable::

Host CO Kalla says:
@::Can´t believe her own eyes, then starts recording.:: Tricorder CO Kalla reporting from Harlan's world. ::Then turns around to show the holocaust.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
The wild is blows through the abandoned metropolis, there are no life signs...anywhere, all 300,000 people are dead, murdered

Host CO Kalla says:
@CNS: Life forms?

OPS Joseph says:
::looks to the CSO, frowns and shakes his head slowly::

CEO Rogers says:
@::looks around uneasily:: no-one in particular; so....who was shooting the torpedoes at us?

EO Z`heta says:
CSO: I'm on it, Sir! ::analyses sensor scans to best program the probe::

Host CO Kalla says:
@FCO: Try to raise the ship.

CNS Jordain says:
@::takes out a tricorder and scans for life forms::

Host CO Kalla says:
@CEO: Have you any idea what may cause this?

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: Fires in the metropolis are out of control, there is scorched earth everywhere

CEO Rogers says:
@::shakes her head:: CO: I wish I knew.....

FCO Durron says:
@::Finally looks around and sees the bodies and almost responds:: CO: understood ma'am

Host CO Kalla says:
@::Sees a small shop front with a queue of dead people.::

Host CO Kalla says:
@All: This is terrible for all of us. We have to remain calm. We have to get this message to the ship at all costs.

EO Z`heta says:
::orders some junior officers to adapt a convenient type of sensor onto the probe and waits for confirmation::

Host CO Kalla says:
@Security: Set up security patrols in this area.

FCO Durron says:
@::taps his comm badge:: Comm:Andy: Durron to Andromeda...Durron to Andromeda. Respond.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: Several figures move amongst the rubble in the distance

Host CO Kalla says:
@FCO: I believe our comm badges are too weak to get through. We need to set up the tricorders as comm equipment.

CNS Jordain says:
@CO: I'm detecting no life forms, every human and animal is dead.

EO Z`heta says:
CSO: Sir, the probe is ready to be launched at your command.

CSO Sketek says:
EO: Launch it.

OPS Joseph says:
CSO: What now, sir?

Host CO Kalla says:
@CNS: I see. All: Keep together we will investigate. CNS: Lead the way.

CSO Sketek says:
OPS: We shall wait.

EO Z`heta says:
CSO: Aye, Sir.  ::presses the fire button on the console and of it goes::

FCO Durron says:
@CO: yes ma'am.  ::remembers that he didn't grab a tricorder on the way out of the shuttle.:: CO: I do not have a tricorder ma'am.

Host CO Kalla says:
@FCO: You can try to see if you can find any comm equipment in one of the buildings.

OPS Joseph says:
::nods, turns back to his console::

Host CO Kalla says:
@::Hands FCO her tricorder without comment.::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: One security officer is incinerated next to the Captain by a snapshooter on the top of a building <Security Officer> Aieeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

FCO Durron says:
@CO:yes ma'am.

Host CO Kalla says:
@All: Duck. ::Runs under the shelter of a small shop front.::

FCO Durron says:
@:: doesn't take the tricorder:: CO. you will need that.

Host CO Kalla says:
@::Shoots at the shooter from the shelter of her new position.::

CNS Jordain says:
@::hides::

Host CO Kalla says:
@FCO: You have your orders. You will need this to carry them out.

FCO Durron says:
@::dives for cover and brings his phaser rifle up to point at the top of the building::

Host CO Kalla says:
@Security: Get rid of the opposition, but try to get one alive.

Host CO Kalla says:
@FCO: See if there is any comm equipment inside the shop.

CNS Jordain says:
@::leads the way::

CEO Rogers says:
@::ducks into a shelter::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: Another Snapshooter firesa disintegration beam at the Away team and then moves

Host CO Kalla says:
@:Shoots back.::

EO Z`heta says:
CSO: Sir, the probe is approaching the anomaly and is sending data.

Host CO Kalla says:
@::Sees the security men running after the sharp shooter.::

CEO Rogers says:
@::pulls out her phaser rifle and pokes her head up to see what’s happening::

CSO Sketek says:
EO: What are the properties of the anomaly?

FCO Durron says:
@CO: You keep that.  I won't need it to find inactive comm equipment.

Host CO Kalla says:
@::Looks inside the shop to see if there is anything they can use.::

FCO Durron says:
@:: heads for the shop that the CO indicated::

Host CO Kalla says:
@::Keeps her tricorder recording everything.::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: All Sensors Screens on the Andromeda go blank and then are filled with the Symbol of the Greek Letter Omega

FCO Durron says:
@::Looks behind the counters::

Host CO Kalla says:
@CEO: See if you can aim your tricorder at one of the attackers, we need to know more about them.

CSO Sketek says:
::Looks at the console and is very puzzled::

Host CO Kalla says:
@CNS: Try to raise the ship with your tricorder.

EO Z`heta says:
Self: what on earth...  ::looks puzzled::

CEO Rogers says:
@::nods and pulls out her tricorder, and looks out again and looks around to find one of the attackers::

OPS Joseph says:
::sees the letter on his console, thinks, then realizes he has no idea what it means::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The CO's Tricorder Flips to the Sign of Omega

CSO Sketek says:
EO: Looks like you found something... interesting.

Host CO Kalla says:
@::Gets an idea. Stops her tricorder from... wooops.::

OPS Joseph says:
CSO: You know the meaning of this, sir?

CSO Sketek says:
OPS: No.

CEO Rogers says:
@::sees one of the attackers and aims her tricorder at him/her and starts scanning::

CNS Jordain says:
@CO: Aye Ma'am. ::tabs some controls on his tricorder, trying to contact the ship::

CSO Sketek says:
OPS: Can you get a contact with the away team?

CEO Rogers says:
@::glances from her tricorder to the attacker and back again::

Host CO Kalla says:
@CNS: Change that. Try to concentrate all the power in your tricorder to one strong beam. Signal to the Andromeda: “Whole colony dead”.

CNS Jordain says:
@CO: Aye Ma'am.

FCO Durron says:
@CO: If there is any comm equipment capable of raising the Andromeda they would not be in a shop. ma'am.  I would look in a government or science building.

EO Z`heta says:
CSO: All sensors have gone blank and I lost telemetry given by the probe.  I'll try to configure sensors to pinpoint the origin of the "Omega"

Host CO Kalla says:
@All: We need to find a spacecraft to take us back to the Andromeda

CEO Rogers says:
@::turns to the CO:: CO: Ma'am, this just came up on my tricorder...do you know what it is? ::show CO the omega symbol on her tricorder::

OPS Joseph says:
CSO: Yes, sir.  In fact I am getting a blast transmission from the counsellor

CSO Sketek says:
OPS: Put it on speakers.

CNS Jordain says:
@::his tricorder goes blank::

Host CO Kalla says:
@CEO: We need to get back quick. Type the commands to the Andromeda to beam us back.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: Communications are established with the AT

Host CO Kalla says:
@::Feels her comm badge come to life.::

Host CO Kalla says:
@*CSO* Beam us back. I know the risk is great, but it is necessary

OPS Joseph says:
CSO: Communications from the surface have been established.  Channel is open.

FCO Durron says:
@::turns around and heads back for the CO's position and wonders what is going on.::

CEO Rogers says:
@::nods slightly confused, but doesn't need to send the communication::

CSO Sketek says:
*CO*: We will attempt to do that.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The CO secret transmits her Omega codes unbeknownst to anyone and the Omega Symbol vanishes on all computers

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: There is a 75% of death of beaming in this environment

CSO Sketek says:
