Host John Sea says:
Resume USS Andromeda "Distant Memories" 10204.21

CNS Jordain says:
::in his chair on the bridge::

Host CO Kalla says:
::On the bridge.::

CSO Sketek says:
::At the science station::

FCO Durron says:
::is sitting at the helm::

Host John Sea says:
Action: Targeting Sensors indicate that the downed alien ships beneath the surface can be disabled by orbital phaser fire

CSO Sketek says:
CO: The sensors indicate that we have the capability of disabling the alien vessels on the ocean in the planet below.

CEO Rogers says:
::in engineering working on improving weapons and shields::

CNS Jordain says:
::is going over personnel reports that he got from his assistant::

Host CO Kalla says:
CSO: Excellent.

EO_Z`heta says:
::enters ME to start his shift::

EO_Z`heta says:
CEO: Hi Chief! I'm reporting for duty.  ::beams::

FCO Durron says:
CO: Ma'am, have you read the plan I submitted to you?

CEO Rogers says:
::nods at the EO:: EO: good afternoon to you too ::smiles::

Host CO Kalla says:
*CEO* We need to be able to use our phasers at maximum power.

Host CO Kalla says:
FCO: Just reviewing it, Lt.

CEO Rogers says:
*CO* I'm working on getting as much power for shields and weapons as I can...

CNS Jordain says:
::hears the FCO talking to the CO:: CO/FCO: May I have a word with you, in private please?

FCO Durron says:
CO: thank you Ma'am

Host CO Kalla says:
*CEO* Thank you.

EO_Z`heta says:
CEO: Ma'am, I understand we must get ready for battle.  I was thinking of a battle software that quickly reroutes power from shields to weapons if we are firing and vice-versa if we're taking a hit.

Host CO Kalla says:
CNS: Very well. CSO: You have the bridge. ::Heads for her ready room.

EO_Z`heta says:
CEO: What do you think?

CSO Sketek says:
CO: Aye.

FCO Durron says:
CNS: may I ask what about?

CNS Jordain says:
FCO: About you plan Mr Durron.

CEO Rogers says:
::nods:: EO: interesting...I may try it if I can work it out

CEO Rogers says:
EO: could you get together a small team and start working out a way to make the debris of the Andromeda seem like the real thing for a decoy?

Host CO Kalla says:
:Presses the door chime and opens the door.::

FCO Durron says:
::doesn't quite want to leave the bridge:: CNS: understood

CNS Jordain says:
::walks to the CO RR::

FCO Durron says:
::follows the CNS and CO to the RR::

Host John Sea says:
Action: Science Sensors indicate the alien vessels are using a jump drive which was similar to the nanites' interdimensional jump drive thereby allowing time travel

EO_Z`heta says:
CEO: Sure, commander.  Meanwhile I'll carry on as you ordered.

CEO Rogers says:
::smiles:: EO: great, have fun

Host CO Kalla says:
::Walks behind her desk.:: CNS: Yes, what is it.

FCO Durron says:
::steps into the RR and closes the door wondering what the CNS wants to talk about::

CNS Jordain says:
CO: I have something to say to the Mr Durron but I want you to be hear as well

EO_Z`heta says:
::Assembles a small team of EO's to work on a way to make the wrecked Andromeda seem like a real vessel::

FCO Durron says:
::looks at the CNS::

CEO Rogers says:
::considers the idea that the EO just gave her, and try's to work it out on a padd::

CNS Jordain says:
FCO: As your ships counselor I have to ask you to think about it one more time.

Host CO Kalla says:
CNS: Go ahead

FCO Durron says:
CNS: excuse me but about what?

CNS Jordain says:
FCO: I think that this plan is not going to work with only one person to do it

FCO Durron says:
CNS: I do not believe that we can put more people at risk that one, and as the best pilot on the ship I need to fly the Persieus.

Host CO Kalla says:
FCO: Run your plan by me in your own words, briefly.

CNS Jordain says:
CO/FCO: We have seen the power of the aliens

CEO Rogers says:
::works out the last little detail of the EO's idea, and nods to herself:: self: this is definitely a good idea...

FCO Durron says:
CO: we retrieve one or both of the derelicts and place one in orbit.
The other we hide in orbit of planet 2.  When the aliens show up we activate half of the torpedoes we place.  The tournedos’s will target the alien vessel.  When the alien ship destroys the first decoy in orbit I abandon that ship in its Persieus and launch all of the Escape pod by computer.  I than retreat to the second decoy which is remotely controlled by a laser link to the bridge of this Andromeda and when that ship is destroyed I again abandon again launching all escape pods and having them track the alien vessel in an attempted mass suicide run.  at that Point I retreat back to this Andromeda where we will be at a distinct advantage. Ma'am

EO_Z`heta says:
::Makes some simulation regarding holographic projections::

Host John Sea says:
Action: The Andromeda's Navigational Deflectors push away some of the Andromeda's orbiting debris

Host CO Kalla says:
FCO: I thought that we could use some of the floating debris to simulate ourselves, while we hide as before and hit them with all we have.

CEO Rogers says:
*CO* I've had a suggestion from EO Z'heta, concerning our weapons and shields, I'm sending up the details that I've worked out, to your console on the bridge

Host CO Kalla says:
*CEO* CC my ready room.

CEO Rogers says:
*CO* yes ma'am ::sends the details to the CO's ready room::

EO_Z`heta says:
CEO: Ma'am, the team and I were thinking...  We can use the Deflector dish to increase the power of a Holographic projection to simulate Andromeda.

CNS Jordain says:
FCO: But what happens if you don't make it to the second decoy?

EO_Z`heta says:
CEO: And if they scan it, they will find the signatures of Metal alloys and Deutherium of the wreck

Host CO Kalla says:
::Checks her screen, and quickly reviews CEO's message.:: *CEO* Sounds goo, go right ahead.

FCO Durron says:
CNS: I think we can get at least one up.  If we can use the debris in orbit to simulate the Andromeda it will work the same.

CEO Rogers says:
EO: hmm...holographic is a good idea...the scanning part...we don't know how sophisticated their scanners are, it may be a good idea to improve on what they scan - relay your ideas to the captain, see what she thinks

CEO Rogers says:
*CO* thank you ma'am

EO_Z`heta says:
CEO: Ok. I'll make some improvements on the plan and then I'll show it to the Captain

CEO Rogers says:
EO: and good thinking on the software idea, the captain wants us to use it

Host CO Kalla says:
::Sits down and looks at her FCO.::

FCO Durron says:
::looks at the CO::

EO_Z`heta says:
::nods:: CEO: Thank you

CEO Rogers says:
::smiles:: EO: alright, go ahead then

FCO Durron says:
CO: Ma'am I wouldn't put this plan forward if I didn't think I could pull it off

CNS Jordain says:
::sits himself down in a chair and looks at the CO and the FCO::

Host CO Kalla says:
FCO: I agree to parts of your plan.

CEO Rogers says:
::turns back to the console and starts to work the software into the computer systems to work with the weapons and shields::

FCO Durron says:
CO: which parts do you disagree with? Ma'am

Host CO Kalla says:
FCO: Get as many "Andromedas" in orbit as you can to confuse our enemy.

FCO Durron says:
CO: if the Andromeda's are in orbit of one planet they will stand out as false.

Host CO Kalla says:
FCO: Make them act as naturally as possible. But I also want the Perseus to return and investigate the alien ships on the planet.

Host CO Kalla says:
FCO: Coordinate that with Engineering they are working on it now.

FCO Durron says:
CO:  Permission to speak freely ma'am?

Host CO Kalla says:
FCO:; Go ahead.

CNS Jordain says:
::looks with a serious face at the FCO::

EO_Z`heta says:
::works on the plan with the team::

FCO Durron says:
CO: With all due respect I believe that would be an unneccessary risk to the Persieus and whomever is aboard it.

Host CO Kalla says:
::Stands up.:: FCO: So you seriously believe we can beat them without knowing more about them?

Host CO Kalla says:
::Looks at her screen again where she saw that interesting piece of information.::

EO_Z`heta says:
CEO: Ma'am, we also think that it's possible to tow one of the wrecks with the tractor beam

FCO Durron says:
CO: yes ma'am. we almost had them the first time.  This time we will be bombarding them with three times as many Photon torpedoes and ramming them with escape pods.

CEO Rogers says:
::runs a small test through the software to see if it will function okay::

FCO Durron says:
CO: Ma'am if is survives that knowing more about it won't help

EO_Z`heta says:
CEO: I'll inform the captain as you told.

CEO Rogers says:
EO: only one? hmm...

CEO Rogers says:
::nods:: EO: yes, that’s probably a good idea

EO_Z`heta says:
CEO: Yes ma'am, only one.

Host CO Kalla says:
FCO: Science has just found out that the ship can jump in time. I sincerely believe that without disabling that jump drive, we can fight forever and loose.

EO_Z`heta says:
*CO* Captain, the Chief Engineer told me to show you a plan regarding the wrecks.  May I send it to your computer know?

CNS Jordain says:
CO/FCO: Excuse me but do we know what kind of armour they have and will the photon torpedoes make damage to the ship? We don't know that.

FCO Durron says:
CO: it is your choice ma'am. However if the ship is destroyed the drive will be sutibly disabled in my opinion ma'am

FCO Durron says:
CNS: As I remember sir when we engaged them the first time they were damaged by our weapons

Host CO Kalla says:
FCO: No, I sincerely believe that we need more knowledge. You have your orders. Get the Perseus ready for another underwater mission. But, I also want you to know I appreciate the initiative.

Host CO Kalla says:
::Starts walking to the door.::

FCO Durron says:
CO: understood ma'am. and thank you.

Host John Sea says:
Action: The Andromeda orbits Lustria One, the focal point of the space-time distortion

Host CO Kalla says:
::Exits.::

CNS Jordain says:
FCO: Then I don't have more to say CO: Ma'am may I speak with you alone for a minute?

Host CO Kalla says:
CSO: I want you to go with Lt. Durron to the planet and examine one of the alien wrecks.

CSO Sketek says:
CO: Welcome back, captain. As you have probably noticed, the alien ships are using technology similar to the interdimensional nanite jump drives.

FCO Durron says:
::exits the RR:: *CEO* could you have an engineering team meet me in shuttle bay one?

Host CO Kalla says:
CSO: Yes, I saw it. I think we need to know more about them

CSO Sketek says:
CO: I also have to point out that the disruptors of alien ships are still operational and we have the capability to disable them from orbit.

CNS Jordain says:
::exits the RR and walk towards the CO::

CSO Sketek says:
CO: Understood.

CEO Rogers says:
*FCO* is this team going to be working on the Andromeda decoy?

Host CO Kalla says:
::Just remembers something.:: CSO/FCO: Maybe you should check if it possible to beam into one of the wrecks.

Host John Sea says:
Action: Science Sensors and information from previous loops has pinpointed a place to beam into the alien wreaks

Host CO Kalla says:
*EO* Transmit it to my station on the bridge.

CSO Sketek says:
CO: It is possible to beam there.

EO_Z`heta says:
*CO* Yes Sir.

FCO Durron says:
*CEO* Negative. They are to be working on modifying the Perseus for under sea work.

EO_Z`heta says:
::sends a report to the CO's Computer regarding the towing of one of the wrecks.  It also informs about the use of the Deflector Dish to amplify an holographic signal over the wrecked Andromeda.::

EO_Z`heta says:
::continues the report: If the decoy is scanned, it will show the Deutherium and metal alloys of the wreck itself, thus making a better disguise.  The report also shows the efforts to simulate life signs, though they're unsuccessful::

Host CO Kalla says:
::Feels a bit illogical not to have checked that first.:: FCO/CSO: Go right ahead then, gentlemen. CSO: Do you wish any others on the away team with you?

CSO Sketek says:
CO: Having one engineering officer would probably be beneficial.

CEO Rogers says:
*FCO* alright, thank you ::sends up a separate team from the first, thats working on the decoy, to the shuttle bay::

FCO Durron says:
::listens and suddenly realizes something:: *CEO* that will not be necessary. My apologies Ma'am.

Host CO Kalla says:
CSO: You take your pick.

CNS Jordain says:
CO:Ma'am ::looks at her with questioning Eyes::

Host CO Kalla says:
*EO* That looks good.

EO_Z`heta says:
*CO* Thank you, Captain. I'll give instruction to proceed with the plan.  ME out

Host CO Kalla says:
CNS: Yes?

CEO Rogers says:
::raises an eyebrow all vulcan-like, but shrugs:: *FCO* very well ::calls back the engineering team to return to their normal duties::

FCO Durron says:
CSO:I will meet you in the transporter room sir. I want to pick up something

CSO Sketek says:
*EO* Please prepare to join the away team. We will beam down to one of the alien vessels. Meet us in transporter room one.

CNS Jordain says:
CO: I have a bad feeling, like the feeling that i had when we where in the land of the undead. Do you remember?

CSO Sketek says:
::Heads for the transporter room::

Host CO Kalla says:
CNS: This sounds serious. Do you think you had better join the AT, or stay here.

EO_Z`heta says:
*CSO* Commander, I'll inform my Senior Officer and I'll meet you ASAP.

CEO Rogers says:
::checks the test that she ran on the new software to see if it was a success::

CSO Sketek says:
*EO* Understood. Sketek out.

FCO Durron says:
::heads for the TL than to his quarters and picks up a bandoleer of ammo, a phaser rifle and his pack.  He than also picks up his EVA suit::

Host CO Kalla says:
*CSO* Note that CNS Jordain has a feeling that the undead may be involved.

FCO Durron says:
::heads for the Transporter room::

EO_Z`heta says:
CEO: The Captain approved the Holo-plan.  I still don't know how to make false life signs, though...

CNS Jordain says:
CO: I don't know Ma'am, but it feels like something unexpected is going to happen

CSO Sketek says:
*CO* Noted. I wish that his feelings are unfound but I guess that we have to prepare for the worst.

FCO Durron says:
::Arrives in the Transporter room::

EO_Z`heta says:
CEO: Ma'am, the CSO requested my presence on the Away Team.  With your permission, I'll join him...  ::awaits the answer::

Host CO Kalla says:
*CSO* Anyway, you must be on the alert for something unexpected.

CSO Sketek says:
::Arrives at the transporter room one::

CSO Sketek says:
*CO* That's the case with all away missions, I'm afraid.

Host John Sea says:
<Transporter Chief> CSO: Hello Sir

FCO Durron says:
CSO: I would recommend we go down in enviro suits sir.

CEO Rogers says:
::nods:: EO: if the software ends up working I'll try and work out a way to make life signs...away team....alright....  ::nods::  go ahead, I'm sure the engineering team will do alright without you

Host CO Kalla says:
CNS: Thank you for your warning. It is always good to have an advisor by one's side in these situations.

CSO Sketek says:
Transporter Chief: Good day. We are trying to beam into the alien ship in the planet below. ::Gives coordinates::

CNS Jordain says:
CO: No thanks Ma'am, just thank me when all of this is over

Host CO Kalla says:
::Walks over to Science and aims all sensors at the spot in the ocean where the away team will beam to.::

FCO Durron says:
::opens the supply cabinet and pulls out three cameras and two EVA suits::

Host John Sea says:
<Transporter Chief> CSO: Yes Sir, coordinates received, do you require standard away team equipment? ::opens armory::

CSO Sketek says:
FCO: A very good precaution. Let's take the suits.

CSO Sketek says:
Transporter Chief: Yes, standard equipment.

EO_Z`heta says:
CEO: yes, ma'am.  ::gets the usual Engineering-Tool-kit-for-badly-injured-ships and leaves ME heading TR1::

Host CO Kalla says:
::Hides an unsuccessful smile.:: CNS: Understood. Would you care to take the helm?

FCO Durron says:
::straps the camera to the side of his head hands one to the CSO and holds out the EVA Suit::

Host John Sea says:
<Transporter Chief> ::passes out equipment::

CNS Jordain says:
CO: Yes Ma'am, no problem ::walk to the helm and sets himself down::

EO_Z`heta says:
::steps out of the TL and entrers TR1:: CSO: Hello, Sir.

CSO Sketek says:
EO: Hello. Please take the suit and the equipment so that we're ready to go.

Host John Sea says:
<Transporter Chief> CSO: Ready when you are Sir

FCO Durron says:
::hands the EO a camera and a EVA suit::

CEO Rogers says:
::sees that the test has come up successfully, and gets to work on the life signs problem::

EO_Z`heta says:
CSO: Aye aye, sir.  FCO: Thank you! ::dresses the EVA suit::

FCO Durron says:
::puts on his own EVA suit and drops the Bandolear over his shoulder than checks his Phaser Rifle's charge and steps onto the Transporter Pad::

CNS Jordain says:
::sits at Flight Control::

CSO Sketek says:
Transporter chief: Energize.

FCO Durron says:
::watches amusedly as he dematerializes::

EO_Z`heta says:
::dematerializes::

Host John Sea says:
Action: The Away Team dematerializes and rematerializes inside one of the two alien starships

CSO Sketek says:
@::Rematerializes and looks around::

Host John Sea says:
Action: Both of the sunken Andromeda shuttles which were previously destroyed in another loop disappear, the fabric of space time is repaired 25 percent

FCO Durron says:
@::Rematerializes and wonders if the Transporter Chief purposely beamed him several centimeters above the ground::

CSO Sketek says:
@*Andromeda* The timeline has been repaired by 25%. I hope that we continue to make similar progress. We will now proceed with the investigations.

Host John Sea says:
Action: The interior of the alien ship is gloomy several bodies litter the floor, as wires sporadically spark

FCO Durron says:
::looks around for something to shoot::

CSO Sketek says:
@EO: I think that we should find the main engineering of this ship.

CEO Rogers says:
::continues her work on projecting life signs on their decoy::

EO_Z`heta says:
@::materializes and looks around for his fellow officers::

FCO Durron says:
@::Pulls out a tricorder and scans the immediate area::

EO_Z`heta says:
@CSO: Agreed, Sir

CEO Rogers says:
::wonders if reflecting their own life signs directly on the holographic decoy of the Andromeda would do any good...::

EO_Z`heta says:
@::pulls out his tricorders, scanning and mapping the zone::  CSO: It's that way, Sir

CSO Sketek says:
@EO: Very good. Let's go.

FCO Durron says:
@::looks at the bodies:: CSO: it would appear that the bodies are robotic

EO_Z`heta says:
@::starts moving::

CSO Sketek says:
@FCO: I see, I see. Keep scanning. This information is very valuable.

CEO Rogers says:
::for no good apparent reason, she decides to move her work up to the bridge, and transfers her files and work up to the engineering console there::

FCO Durron says:
@::follows the CSO and EO watching their back and scanning for other interesting::

CNS Jordain says:
::still at the helm seat::

Host John Sea says:
Action: The Away Team begins to explore the mysterious alien vessel

CEO Rogers says:
::heads for the TL after she's sent the files up, and orders it to the bridge::

CSO Sketek says:
@FCO: They seem to lack sentient thinking capabilities.

Host John Sea says:
Action: The EO discovers a computer panel

CNS Jordain says:
::makes a small course correction::

FCO Durron says:
@CSO: most interesting sir. than I would assume that the ship is run by a main computer somewhere sir?

CEO Rogers says:
::steps off the TL and heads for the Engineering console, not noticing that the CO isn't on the bridge anymore::

EO_Z`heta says:
@::Scans the computer panel, adjusting the tricorder communication protocols::  CSO/FCO: Take a look at this!

CSO Sketek says:
@FCO: I don't know. It's one possibility. Or then the real owners have just disappeared from the ship.

Host John Sea says:
Action: The computer display is in an alien language

CSO Sketek says:
@::Looks at what EO is pointing::

FCO Durron says:
@::looks at the panel:: EO: personally I wouldn't touch that sir.

Host John Sea says:
Action: The CO retires to her Ready Room leaving the CEO in command

EO_Z`heta says:
@CSO/FCO: It's a computer panel, with inscriptions on a strange language.  I'm adjusting the tricorder's Universal translator module.

CNS Jordain says:
::lets another ensign take over Flight control an moves to science to look at the sensors::

EO_Z`heta says:
@FCO: I agree, for the time being.

CSO Sketek says:
@EO: Try to make some sense out of it.

Host John Sea says:
Action: The EO begins to translate the panel and create a new language database

CEO Rogers says:
::raises her eyebrows in surprise:: self: oyi...::realizes she should get a report for the AT:: *Away Team* How are things going down there, have you discovered anything yet?

FCO Durron says:
::walks up to one of the robotic bodies and begins scanning it closely::

EO_Z`heta says:
@CSO/FCO: The tricorder is reading it!

CSO Sketek says:
@EO: Good, good. Now we'll just have to wait for the answers.

Host John Sea says:
Action: The CSO begins to identify power lines, main power, and data structure of the computer

FCO Durron says:
::looks at the wall and begins scanning the composition of it::

CSO Sketek says:
@::Examining the computer::

EO_Z`heta says:
@CSO: this new language is being updated to our Universal Translator.

Host CO Kalla says:
::Exits her ready room and looks around on the bridge - quiet before the storm.::

CSO Sketek says:
@::Starting to get some idea of how the computer might work::

CEO Rogers says:
::looks up to see the captain and stand:: CO: ah, Captain, I guess I'll return command to you then ::smiles:: The AT hasn't reported yet, although I did ask them how things were going down there...

CNS Jordain says:
::sees the CO exit her RR again, still having that strange feeling::

Host John Sea says:
