Resume "Counter Espionage" 10809.21
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene:  The Andromeda has captured a probe and has taken aboard in the main shuttle bay
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene; The Andromeda has returned to meet up with the Silverhawk
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: In medical, things starting to slow down as everyone is seen too.::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The CMO has broken the alien code
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
@::beams over to the Andromeda::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::waits for the XO to get to the bridge::
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
::arrives on the bridge::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The eerie silence of space hangs about our heroes and heroine in the isolation of space...
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::looks up as the XO arrives:: XO: Welcome back, sir.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The probe is disabled and not transmitting
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
CNS: Thanks, so what have I missed so far?
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: With her husband taking a needed break, she contacts the bridge::  *CNS*:  We pretty much have things tied up in medical.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*CMO*: Understood, doctor. Want to join us as I bring the XO up to speed? You can give him your insights.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::grins at Conor:: XO: Well, there was the party down in cargo bay two, the fireworks display and the CMO unlocked the lucky packet with the hidden chewy centre.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
*CNS*: On my way up... :: Looks over toward Storm and motions with her hand she is heading toward the bridge, medical is hers..::
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
::nods gently at the CNS:: CNS: In Federation Standard
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The external repairs need to be made to Cargo Bay One in order for the Andromeda to be able to make warp 7-9 speeds again but will require an engineering spacewalk
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::grins:: Well, we had that ship that sent the probes after us while we came back to get you and the Silverhawk. It turns out the probes were proximity fuses for the remains of our dear robotic Captain Raptor.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
<add XO:>
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
XO: When we got here, the probes moved in, but we captured one of them while the others zoomed past to the remains of Captain Robot that we beamed out into space and detonated it.
 
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
CNS: I see, well we better see if we can use this probe on that alien ship then
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
XO: The CMO spent her time decoding the probe's coding and it turns out that its the robot supply ship that we encountered a few light years back.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: As the lift stops she steps off and walks over to join the small group.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::smiles as Sky walks up to them:: XO: Our brilliant doctor here got the probe to spill its guts.
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
CNS: Do we know where the supply ship is now then?
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Lifts a brow at the counselors analogy::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
XO: I'm guessing its trying to beat a retreat, but the ship is low warp, if I remember correctly. We can catch up to it, but it will require some repairs to the cargobay doors and the engineers will have to go outside for that.
 
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
CNS: How long before repairs will be complete?
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
CNS/XO:  It might be worth the time, if they are slow enough, to fix our ship.  We do not know what is ahead
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action; External repairs will take 3 hours
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
XO: About three hours.
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
CMO: Can you use the probes code to figure out the last known position of the supply ship?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
XO: If we don't do repairs, we'll be limited to warp 6.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: After a moment of consideration::  XO: I will see what I can do.  It is probably more like an extrapolation.
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
CNS: Tell them to put local integrity field generators in place and seal that hole in the side asap.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
XO: Aye, sir. ::turns to the console to send the instructions to the engineers::
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: As the counselor moves away, so does she over to the science station and nods to the young man sitting there as she takes the auxiliary one.::
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: After inputting key data and a few questionable ones, she has the computer pull up a possible route.::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Last known position is plotted it is many hours old
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::looks over at Sky:: CMO: What is the possibility of picking up an ion trail or warp trail after all the time since we've last encountered that ship?
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Turns around::  XO: Lieutenant, I have what you requested.  Keep in mind, they could have easily changed their course since we last saw them.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: And still the doomsday machine has not been seen since...
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
CMO: How old is the last known position?
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: looks from the counselor to Conor::  XO:  Approximately four hours.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
CNS: If we return to where they were last located in the near future, we will have something.  But no guarantees until we see how well this area has preserved it.
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
CNS: Recall the engineers and set a course at warp 6
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
CMO: See if you can reverse engineer the proximity fuse to work on the supply ship
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
XO: Aye, sir. ::sends the recall to the engineers and sets the course:: We'll be under way as soon as they are back on board, sir.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Lifts a brow::  XO:  In all honesty, an engineer might be better at handling that.
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
CMO: You are the one with the most experience with this type of technology, but take anything you need from engineering to assist you in this
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Engineers are unable to finish their work and maximum speed is warp 6
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::checks the report coming in:: XO: Engineers are back on board, sir. Course laid in and set for warp six.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
XO: Aye, sir.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Turns and makes her way to the lift, her thoughts hidden.::
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Contacting Bob, she informs him she is on her way down to his lab, needing his engineering expertise.::
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Makes a short stop at her quarters to check on her children.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::glances over his shoulder at the departing CMO::
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Not staying long as time could be critical, she gives each a kiss and heads out the door with a sigh of frustration.::
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: as the lift drops here near engineering, she heads down the hall toward Bob's lab and activates the chime::
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
CNS: Lets tow the Silverhawk along and lets see if we can schedule a repair ship to meet us out here to replace the warp nacelles on that
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::taps some commands into his console and prepares the tractor beam:: XO: Aye, sir. That will take us down to warp 5.5.
 
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Taking a seat at the table covered in items, some of which she would be hard pressed to name, let alone figure out their function, she looks at the elderly engineer.::   EO:  Hello, Bob.  How are things going with you lately...  :: Politely and with professional interest she listens.::
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
CNS: Very well
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
XO: Course and speed laid in sir. ::finger hovers over the execute button::
 
Host XO_Lt_Conor says:
CNS: Engage
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: After a moment, giving him a new idea to try, she reaches over to hand him a padd with data and explains to him, what the first officer would like.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::pushes the button:: XO: Aye,sir.
