Host ACTD John Sea says:
Resume USS Andromeda "Distant Memories" Part 3 10203.24

XO Miller says:
::enters the cave and heads toward the Captain::

Host CO Kalla says:
@::At the caves still holding the item from the grave.::

CNS Jordain says:
@::walks towards the captain::

XO Miller says:
@::approaches the Captain::  CO:  Have you learned anything from what you have read?

EO Z`heta says:
::Approaches the CTO::

CTO Senek says:
::Breaks the bottle against the shuttle:: All: I name this shuttle - Poseidon.

EO Z`heta says:
::claps and looks to the FCO/CTO smiling::

Host CO Kalla says:
@XO: Indeed. It seems that we - or they - lived a full life here.

XO Miller says:
@*CTO*:  How much longer before you get underway?  We have a lot of questions that need answered down here.

CSO Sketek says:
@::Walks around scanning for animal life::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The bottle breaks across the bow of the newly Christened shuttle

EO Z`heta says:
CTO/FCO: Hear, hear!

FCO Durron says:
::applauds:: *CO* the shuttle is ready ma'am.

XO Miller says:
@CO:  Yes, at least we all lived full lives.....some, more than others.

CTO Senek says:
*XO*: We have completed the modifications of the shuttle and are preparing to leave the Andromeda now.

Host CO Kalla says:
@*FCO* Then launch it, Mr Durron.

CNS Jordain says:
@CO: You wanted to talk to me Ma'am?

XO Miller says:
@*CTO*:  Understood, we'll be monitoring your progress from here.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: Dawn breaks over the peaceful ocean of the alien world

CTO Senek says:
EO/FCO: Let's get on with our mission. They want answers down there. ::Enters the shuttle::

FCO Durron says:
::ducks into the Poseidon and starts the pre-flight check::

Host CO Kalla says:
@XO: Yes, that seems to have followed the natural cause.

CEO Rogers says:
::leaves the bridge, steps onto the TL, and orders it to the shuttlebay::

EO Z`heta says:
::enters the Poseidon:: FCO: I'll notify my Chief!

XO Miller says:
@CO:  I am perplexed by one question though.  If you were the last to survive, who entombed your remains?

Host CO Kalla says:
@*FCO* Take her straight to the object on the seabed.

EO Z`heta says:
*CEO* Ma'am, the new shuttle is ready!

FCO Durron says:
*CO*Understood Ma'am

Host CO Kalla says:
@XO: Another question that has been puzzling me. Why did we not produce any offspring?

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The shuttle begins to warm up

CEO Rogers says:
*EO* thank you, I'll be joining you in a few seconds, and accompanying you to the planet

FCO Durron says:
::runs diagnostics on the new propulsion systems sitting in his normal seat::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The CSO is beginning to pick up residual traces of Chronoton Particles from the bodies of the crew

XO Miller says:
@CO:  Yes, one would think that we would have produced offspring to guarantee our species' survival here.

Host CO Kalla says:
@XO: Indeed.

EO Z`heta says:
*CEO* Yes, ma'am, we'll be waiting for you.  Z'heta out  ::taps commbadge::

CTO Senek says:
::Sits down at the back of the shuttle, checks that there are enough pressure suits for everyone::

CEO Rogers says:
::steps off the TL and walks through the other smaller shuttles to the new Poseidon:: self: well...for a shuttle, she's pretty nice looking

CSO Sketek says:
@::Walks back towards the buried bodies and starts taking closer scans::

CNS Jordain says:100

@CO: Ma'am? ::looks at the Captain::

EO Z`heta says:
::takes a seat next to the CTO::

Host CO Kalla says:
@CNS: Yes. I did. Does everyone on the  crew know about this?

CNS Jordain says:
@CO: No Ma'am, not that i know. Many of the crew on the Andromeda still don't know what is going on here.

CEO Rogers says:
::steps into the shuttle, and takes her place at one of the consoles::

Host CO Kalla says:
@CNS: What would you say, should we keep it that way until we know more?

XO Miller says:
@CO/CNS:  Do you think it would be wise to inform everyone at this point?  Or do you think we should wait until we have more answers?

EO Z`heta says:
CEO: Welcome, Commander!

CTO Senek says:
::Greets CEO::

FCO Durron says:
::glances at the CEO and nods::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The shuttle door closes and the Poseidon pressurizes

CEO Rogers says:
::nods:: EO/CTO/FCO: I'm pleased to see you as well

CSO Sketek says:
@::Arrives at the graves and scans again to get good readings of the chronoton residue::

CNS Jordain says:
@CO/XO: I think we should keep it this way for now. We don't want panic to break out.

EO Z`heta says:
::monitors the performance of Poseidon's systems through the console::

Host CO Kalla says:
@XO, CNS: I agree.

FCO Durron says:
ALL: please note that the Fasten seat belt sign in engaged.  Please keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle until it has come to a complete stop.  ::grin:: ALL: lets go.

XO Miller says:
@CO/CNS:  I agree as well.

FCO Durron says:
*Andy flight deck*: This is the Shuttle craft Poseidon requesting permission for take off.

CEO Rogers says:
::grins::

CTO Senek says:
::Raises an eyebrow at FCO's remark:: FCO: Please, take us out.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
<Andromeda> *FCO* You are cleared to launch and we will monitor your descent

XO Miller says:
@CO:  I just hope that shuttle crew will be able to provide us with more answers.

Host CO Kalla says:
@XO: Yes, I certainly hope so.

Host CO Kalla says:
@::Looks around.:: XO: Where did Commander Sketek go to?

CNS Jordain says:
@CO/XO: There is one thing that puzzles me, did we go forward in time or did the "former" crew go back?

CSO Sketek says:
@*CO*: I've picked up traces of chronoton radiation from the buried bodies of the crew. I can confirm that they made the crew sterile which is they didn't reproduce. However the more important issue is that chronotons are heavily involved with time travel and temporal instability.

FCO Durron says:
::eases the Poseidon off the shuttle bay floor and touches it out the bay doors::

XO Miller says:
@CO:  Last I saw, he headed out of the cave.

Host CO Kalla says:
@::Raises an eyebrow.:: *CSO* Now that explains one conundrum at least.

XO Miller says:
@CNS:  Do you think anyone that has seen their remains would need to talk to you about anything?

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The Shuttlebay doors open revealing a curtain of stars and the planets rotating surface, the shuttle launches and angles towards the planet

FCO Durron says:
::angles the decent towards the object::

CNS Jordain says:
@XO: I do not think that would be necessary, they are all taking it well.

XO Miller says:
CNS:  Understood.  But if anything changes, please make yourself available to them.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The shuttle enters the planet atmosphere, and quickly arrives over the campsite

Host CO Kalla says:
*CSO* Have you any explanation to who entombed the last survivor?

EO Z`heta says:
FCO: How is Poseidon behaving so far?

CNS Jordain says:
@XO: I will Sir ::looks at the captain:: CO: Ma'am, may I suggest that we contact starfleet to see if we are still in our own time?

CSO Sketek says:
*CO*: That still remains a mystery.

FCO Durron says:
EO: just like a normal shuttle.  though the extra stuff is making her a shade sluggish.

Host CO Kalla says:
::Looks at CNS.:: CNS: You know, that could be a good idea.

Host CO Kalla says:
XO: I assume the communications equipment is all functioning.

FCO Durron says:
::cants the shuttle and circles the camp than points it at the under sea object::

XO Miller says:
CO:  Shall we head back to base camp to monitor the progress of the shuttle crew?  Yes, communications are functioning perfectly.

Host CO Kalla says:
::Nods to Cmdr. Miller and starts walking.:: *CSO* Commander Miller and myself are going back to the camp.

XO Miller says:
CNS:  Will you be joining us?

EO Z`heta says:
FCO: taking her to underwater will be the true test

CSO Sketek says:
*CO*: Acknowledged.

CNS Jordain says:
XO: If you wish Sir

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The shuttle enters the water, the impellers begin to function as the sonar is activated...large mass detected submerged in 400 feet of water

XO Miller says:
::starts walking back to base camp with the CO and CNS::

EO Z`heta says:
CEO: What do you think of Poseidon so far, ma'am?

FCO Durron says:
::flinches as the shuttle hits the water:: EO: impellers are operational.

FCO Durron says:
::Seals the doors over the thrusters::

CTO Senek says:
::Keeps watch on sensors and especially the sonar::

Host CO Kalla says:
XO: Now there is of course the issue about communications about time travel. It is only to be on a closed channel. I think we will first contact the Andy to see if we are still in our own time.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The shuttlecrew can see various forms off sea life out their windows

EO Z`heta says:
FCO: Acknowledged and confirmed.  Power is being divert to the impellers.

XO Miller says:
CO:  That would be wise Captain.

FCO Durron says:
::checks the shuttle's decent and tilts the nose of the craft down::

CEO Rogers says:
::running her fingers over console, studying a bit of the different features of the shuttle:: EO: ...well...she's quite a unique addition to the Andromeda, that’s for sure, we haven't had an undersea shuttle for the Andromeda before that I know of...

CNS Jordain says:
::looks around on the planet::

Host CO Kalla says:
::Arrives at the comm tent.::

CTO Senek says:
::Tries to scan the large object::

Host CO Kalla says:
::Enters and walks up to the subspace comm equipment there.::

XO Miller says:
::heads over and begins monitoring the progress of the shuttle::  CO:  Captain, the shuttle is descending toward the Andromeda.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: As the shuttle approaches the mass its searchlights reveal the submerged USS Andromeda, embedded on the ocean floor, battle damage scars on her primary hull, three quarters of the saucer section has been destroyed on impact

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: Sensors indicate their are pockets of air tight corridors in the ship

FCO Durron says:
::looks out the forward window:: self: that is her alright.

Host CO Kalla says:
::Connects to the Andy's comm link and checks the time reference.::

EO Z`heta says:
FCO: The software for compensating the tides is operating as well as the inertial dampers.  What do you think? Is she behaving steadily?

FCO Durron says:
::stops the shuttle from descending further and uses the impellers to ease the Poseidon closer:: EO: for a ship designed for space flight she is handling admirably underwater

Host CO Kalla says:
::Gets the result.:: XO: Well, according to the time reference from the Andromeda, we are still in our own time.

CSO Sketek says:
::Tries to make a more detailed analysis of the chronoton particles, possible fluxes in time, and the general situation::

CEO Rogers says:
::looks out the forward viewport:: self: that cannot be my ship. I would never let her become so damaged!

Host CO Kalla says:
::Gets up.:: CNS. But it was a good idea.

FCO Durron says:
::glances at the CEO and CTO than back at what he is doing::

XO Miller says:
CO:  That's good news to hear.  ::activates a small viewscreen::

CNS Jordain says:
CO: Thank you Captain

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The Andromeda is not covered by any barnacles or sealife since the warp core is still functioning

CTO Senek says:
FCO: Move us as close to the wreck as you can.

FCO Durron says:
CTO: Aye sir

Host CO Kalla says:
XO, CNS: Maybe we should check if there are any traces of chronoton particles in the atmosphere.

CNS Jordain says:
CO: I agree :: and looks at the XO::

Host CO Kalla says:
XO, CNS: Somehow, sometime we must have been/or will be transported back in time.

FCO Durron says:
::pumps a little more water into the ballast tanks and eases the Poseidon over the part of the wreck where it should say USS Andromeda.::

XO Miller says:
*CTO*:  Senek, I'd like to monitor things visually, please relay through our viewscreen here.

CTO Senek says:
CEO: The warp core is still active, after all those years. Nice work.

CTO Senek says:
*XO*: Aye, sir. ::Relays the shuttle's sensor information to the Andromeda::

XO Miller says:
CO:  Yes, but how?

CEO Rogers says:
::smiles:: CTO: well, I'm glad all that work came to some good use....

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The Engine nacelles definitely show "United Federation of Planets: USS Andromeda" They still glow with warp energy.

XO Miller says:
::viewscreen is activated::  CO/CNS:  Would you like to take a look at this?

CTO Senek says:
*XO*: As you can see, we have just found the remains of the Andromeda. We will be taking a look inside it soon.

CNS Jordain says:
::looks at the screen::

XO Miller says:
*CTO*:  Understood.  Please proceed with caution.

EO Z`heta says:
::starts packing his gear: tricorder, phaser, ... ::  CTO: Will we need a scuba diving gear?

XO Miller says:
::points at different places on the screen::  CO/CNS:  Looks like the Andromeda received quite a bit of damage here, and here.

CTO Senek says:
EO: There are pressure suits in the storage lockers, should we need them. FCO: Is there any way of getting us to a water-free shuttle bay?

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The computer has sealed the Main Impulse engines upon entering the atmosphere, they are still functioning

Host CO Kalla says:
XO: Yes, she did take quite a beating.

Host CO Kalla says:
*CTO* Is it possible to beam into the Andromeda?

EO Z`heta says:
CTO: thank you.

FCO Durron says:
::begins scanning for a safe place to put the Poseidon down on the Hulk of the Andromeda:: CTO: I will look sir, but with the extent of damage aboard that is doubtful.

CNS Jordain says:
::starts to study the images of the Andromeda to determine how it crashed::

CEO Rogers says:
::wondering what caused the ship to crash, while scanning the ship to see what parts are water-free, and air-tight::

CTO Senek says:
*CO*: Beaming should work, if we can find an unflooded section inside the wreck.

Host CO Kalla says:
*CTO* Good, but remember atmospheric suits.

EO Z`heta says:
CTO: Can you tell on the sensors if there are any radiation and/or plasma leaks that can affect us when we board the wreck?

XO Miller says:
CO:  Extraordinary that the main impulse engines are still functioning after all this time.

CSO Sketek says:
::Hums a quiet melody while scanning::

Host CO Kalla says:
XO: Yes, that must be said to be a credit to Starfleet Engineering.

CTO Senek says:
*CO*: Of course, sir. I'll let you know as soon as we're safely inside the hull.

FCO Durron says:
CTO: I think the main shuttle bay is intact but we would have to beam someone in first to open the doors.

XO Miller says:
CO:  Leave it to Trial and her crew!

Host CO Kalla says:
*CTO* Bring a camera so we can follow you.

CTO Senek says:
*CO*: Aye sir.

CEO Rogers says:
*CO* Ma'am, there's evidence of chronoton weapons fire on the hull of the Andromeda....

CTO Senek says:
FCO: Then take us next to the shuttle bay doors. I don't want to take any risks in these conditions.

FCO Durron says:
CTO: aye sir.

CEO Rogers says:
CTO: I'll go inside and open the shuttle bay doors.

EO Z`heta says:
::As a precaution takes some mini air bottles calibrating them to the water pressure::

Host CO Kalla says:
*CEO* Chronoton weapons? That is unusual.

CTO Senek says:
::Checks the sensors:: EO: There should be no harmful radiation inside.

Host CO Kalla says:
XO: Ever hear of that before?

CTO Senek says:
CEO: Good. Beam out as soon as we are in safe distance.

FCO Durron says:
::pulls the Poseidon just above the Shuttle bay doors and waits::

EO Z`heta says:
CTO: ok, thank you.  BTW, please take this mini air bottle.

XO Miller says:
CO:  Not that I remember Captain.

FCO Durron says:
CTO: we are in transporter range sir.

CEO Rogers says:
::nods, prepares the transporter to beam herself out of the shuttle, and picks up a tricorder and phaser::

CTO Senek says:
EO: Thank you.

CTO Senek says:
::Takes the air bottle::

EO Z`heta says:
::nods at the CTO and gives mini air bottles to the rest of the shuttle crew::

FCO Durron says:
CTO: You don't know what you will find over there.  You should all go. I will stay with the Poseidon and be prepared to beam you out. Sir.

CTO Senek says:
FCO: Good. Move us in as soon as CEO opens the doors.

CEO Rogers says:
::grabs a small wrist light, just incase as well, and takes one of the air bottles from the EO::

XO Miller says:
::continues looking at the small screen in front him, trying to catch anything unusual::

CNS Jordain says:
Self: chronoton weapons,.....interesting......

FCO Durron says:
::looks around:: CTO: oh Aye sir.

CEO Rogers says:
All: alright, here I go, ::activates the transporter and beams over to the Andromeda into a airtight area near the shuttle bays::

CTO Senek says:
FCO: Just because of security, I'd send only one person first. Others will follow, if the place is secure.

FCO Durron says:
CTO: understood Sir.

Host CO Kalla says:
*CSO* We seem to have found the explanation for the chronoton radiation. It seems the Andromeda was attacked by chronoton weapons. If you want to follow the exploration of the ship, please join us in the comm tent.

CSO Sketek says:
*CO*: Understood. I'll hurry there.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The away team arrives in the airtight shuttlebay

CNS Jordain says:
::still looking at the screen::

CSO Sketek says:
::Arrives at the tent and walks in::

CEO Rogers says:
::activates the small camera, and looks around the room where she opened the shuttle bay doors from::

Host CO Kalla says:
CSO: Good to see you. Did you find anything else at the cave?

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The Red alert alarm is on as it echoes through empty hallways, there are dead bodies everywhere

CSO Sketek says:
CO: Nothing new. I've already scanned it with rather great detail.

CEO Rogers says:
::turns on the wrist light since it's rather dim in the room, and steps over a body to another console::

FCO Durron says:
::maneuvers the Poseidon closer to the doors::

EO Z`heta says:
::Checks the shields to see if the density of the media is affecting their performance::

CTO Senek says:
::Grabs his tricorder, phaser, wrist light and camera and prepares to exit the shuttle::

Host CO Kalla says:
CSO: Good. I think our best source of information is the underwater crew now. We are following them on camera. ::Points to the screen.::

CSO Sketek says:
::Turns to the screen:: CO: I see. What are they exactly searching for?

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The dead bodies have chronoton poisoning due to temporal flux and are not decomposing

CEO Rogers says:
::scans the air in the room, wondering if there was some kind of poison in the air, turning on the console at the same time::

Host CO Kalla says:
CSO: At present, anything and everything. Mainly of course the chain of events and the time where it happened.

CSO Sketek says:
CO: I understand. It's a rather big mystery at the moment.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The console activates

Host CO Kalla says:
CSO: I dare say.

CNS Jordain says:
::sits back in a chair and thinks::

CTO Senek says:
FCO&EO: I think we should all stay together. We'll all be going to main engineering.

FCO Durron says:
CTO: I beg to differ sir.  I should stay with the shuttle craft and ensure its continued security.

CEO Rogers says:
::watches the console as it flickers to life::  Self: now lets see what’s been happening to my baby without my knowing...::brings up records of events::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The voice of the Captain is being replayed over and over "All Hands Abandon Ship"

EO Z`heta says:
CTO: Aye aye, sir. BTW, if this is Andromeda, your command voice should get the Computer to give us almost full clearance, if we need it.

CTO Senek says:
FCO: I doubt that there is are any security risks here; but you may stay here if you wish. We can be beamed out in few seconds anyway.

CEO Rogers says:
::gets slightly annoyed by the repeating voice and stops the recorded message, since there's no need for it anymore::

CTO Senek says:
EO: I'm aware of that, and so should CEO Rogers' voice.

CSO Sketek says:
CO: It was very enlightening to read the logs of all the years my counterpart had spent at this planet. I wish you had the same experience.

FCO Durron says:
CTO: thank you sir.

CTO Senek says:
::Gets out of the shuttle and looks around in the shuttle bay::

EO Z`heta says:
CTO: Perhaps you can call of the Red Alert...

CEO Rogers says:
::reads over the reports that were logged in the computer::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The computer recognizes the CEO and gives her security access

Host CO Kalla says:
CSO: Well, in a way. I just could not abstract from the contents. I felt - if you excuse the expression - very personally affected.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: Main power is online the bridge is underwater, phasers and photons are offline

CTO Senek says:
::Heads to CEO's direction::

CEO Rogers says:
::in a room just off of the shuttle bay::

CNS Jordain says:
::wonders where his body will turn up::

EO Z`heta says:
::says "See ya" to the FCO and follows the CTO::

CEO Rogers says:
::still reading over the reports, recording the information she finds on her tricorder::

CTO Senek says:
::Sees CEO and walks to her:: CEO: Have you found anything yet?

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The shuttles in the bay are unsalvageable and wrecked

EO Z`heta says:
::checks the tricorder::

CEO Rogers says:
CTO: I'm currently downloading the reports of events that led up to this.... wreckage

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: Sensor logs display an alien ship and a fierce combat

FCO Durron says:
::seals the Poseidon's door after the EO and pulls a Phaser Rifle off than begins trying to interface the shuttle's computer with ships commuter::

Host CO Kalla says:
*CTO* See if you can get access to the computer system and download the logs to us up here.

CTO Senek says:
CEO: I see. As soon as you're finished with that, I suggest that we go to main engineering and take a look at the ship's condition from there.

FCO Durron says:
::glances around the shuttle bay suddenly looking for a temporal duplicate of the Poseidon::

CTO Senek says:
*CO*: CEO Rogers is already working on that.

CEO Rogers says:
::nods:: CTO: I was going to suggest that myself

CEO Rogers says:
CTO: after I'm finished downloading the information, I'll attempt to relay the information directly to computers at the camp-site for the captain to see.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: No sign of the Poseidon

CTO Senek says:
CEO: Good.

Host CO Kalla says:
*CTO* Thank you.

CEO Rogers says:
::nods, and continues her work::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: Sensors indicate the destroyed Poseidon near a previously undetected object next to the Andromeda :   The Alien starship!

Host CO Kalla says:
CNS: So what do you think of it all so far?

FCO Durron says:
::wonders what the fact that the Poseidon isn't there means and goes back to trying to interface with the Andromeda's computer::

CEO Rogers says:
::frowns at the sensor alert:: CTO: take a look at this ::points at the sensor alert of the alien ship::

CTO Senek says:
CEO: Now this is interesting..

EO Z`heta says:
::hears the CEO and takes a look as well::

CNS Jordain says:
CO: I find all of this very interesting. And Spooky.

FCO Durron says:
*CTO*: uh sir... I have detected the Poseidon and another vessel near by. would you like me to take the Poseidon and investigate Sir?

CTO Senek says:
CEO: Perhaps you and EO should stay here, while I and FCO go and investigate that other wreck.

CTO Senek says:
FCO: Wait a minute before leaving, I'm coming with you.

CEO Rogers says:
CTO: very interesting....::finishes downloading, and relays the information back to the campsite:: CTO: of course, we can handle ourselves here, go ahead

FCO Durron says:
*CTO* understood

CTO Senek says:
::Gets back to the shuttle bay and enters the Poseidon:: FCO: Let's go.

FCO Durron says:
::checks the systems::

Host CO Kalla says:
::Sees the computer receiving information.:: CSO: Now you have something to work on.

FCO Durron says:
CTO: Aye Sir.

EO Z`heta says:
CEO: Ma'am , shall we continue our investigation here?

FCO Durron says:
::lifts the Poseidon out of the shuttle bay for the second time in as many hours::

CEO Rogers says:
EO: we should be able to gain more information from ME, we'll continue there

CTO Senek says:
*CO*: I and Mr.Durron are going to investigate the alien ship, while CEO and EO are staying onboard the Andromeda. We'll be relaying all our data to you.

CNS Jordain says:
::feels a cold chill over his body and that is mostly a sign that something is going to happen::

CSO Sketek says:
CO: Indeed. Perhaps the mystery will finally start giving some answers.

Host CO Kalla says:
*CTO* Acknowledged, Mr Senek.
