Host AGMDave says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<RESUME MISSION>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

XO_Claymore says:
@::nods towards the Captain, still fascinated by the unfolding object::

CEO_McDuggle says:
@::Is in ME scanning lattice and preparing probe::

CNS_Savar says:
@CO: Captain, permission to beam to the station?

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The latticework is now fully expanded and surrounding the Arcadian star.  It takes on a dark purplish-green hue.

CSO_Washudoin says:
@:: Sitting at his station monitoring the Arcadia star and the Lattice object. Preparing communications drone for launch::

XO_Claymore says:
@CNS: we're out of range, we'll have to take a shuttle

Host CO_Morgan says:
@CNS:  Permission granted.  Try and keep the panic to a dull roar, eh?  ::gives the Vulcan a small grin, even though he knows its useless::

CIV_Charn says:
@::at a bridge side console, quietly finishing her report for the VAS, knowing they will find it fascinating. To say the least::

CNS_Savar says:
@CO: I will.  I'll also have the sensors brought up and the data streamed to the Thomas.

CEO_McDuggle says:
@*CSO* Washudion the probe is prepared to be launched anytime

XO_Claymore says:
@CO: Would you prefer I head for the station or make preparations from here?

CSO_Washudoin says:
@*CEO* Acknowledged, it's all good on my end.

CTO_Loran says:
@::leaves the turbo lift and steps onto the bridge, taking tactical station from the Ensign that was manning it while he was working on a communication device for the probes on the other side of the wormhole::

CEO_McDuggle says:
@*CSO* acknowledged I will be on the bridge soon and we can coordinate our scans then

CSO_Washudoin says:
@CTO: Do you have all the communication links set?

CIV_Charn says:
@::adds her own personal views on the aliens she hasn't met but anyway... personal impressions her higher-ups will find uncalled-for not to mention imprecise. Just for the heck of it::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@XO:  You better head to the station.  They are going to need some sort of stabilizing influence in the COC over there :looks down at ship position::  Take a shuttle and the Counselor and get going.  Good luck.

CSO_Washudoin says:
@*CEO* Understood.

CTO_Loran says:
@::starts scanning the lattice work and the sun to see what kind of influence the latticework is having on the sun and what effect the sun is having on the latticework::

CNS_Savar says:
@::Nods, and enters TL, waiting for XO::

XO_Claymore says:
@::nods again:: CO: Yes sir  CNS: Let's make this quick, how about a site to site transport?

CSO_Washudoin says:
@:: Continues scanning the object surrounding the sun::

XO_Claymore says:
@::steps over towards the CNS::

CNS_Savar says:
@XO: And how do you plan on that?

Host CO_Morgan says:
@CSO:  Any status on the Arcadian sun?  Is there a red shift occurring from an energy drain?

XO_Claymore says:
@Computer: initiate a site to site transporter on the counselor and myself. Take us to the Shuttle bay

CTO_Loran says:
@CSO:  All communications are set up.

CNS_Savar says:
@::Rematerializes::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@CTO:  What's the status of communications probe?

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: Sensors detect a decrease in the sun's solar winds as well as a power build up from the alien framework.

CNS_Savar says:
@XO: Ah, I thought you meant to Arcadia station.

CSO_Washudoin says:
@CO: None as of yet Sir. Also the probe is ready for launch as soon as CEO get up here.

CEO_McDuggle says:
@Devries : I'm headed for bridge , your in charge here :: heads for TL:: TL: Bridge

XO_Claymore says:
@CNS: no, you take Conn. emergency start up procedures ::heads for the ops console::

CSO_Washudoin says:
@CO: There is a decrease in the solar winds on the sun as well as a power build up from the object.

CIV_Charn says:
@::finishes the report and hits "send." Just in case she doesn't have a chance to send anything later::

CNS_Savar says:
@::Sets to work, and the shuttle powers up::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@CSO:  Acknowledged.  Keep me informed.

XO_Claymore says:
@CNS: Warp, Impulse, Thrusters, SIF, IDF, Life support ready.... opening bay doors

CSO_Washudoin says:
@CO: Understood.

CEO_McDuggle says:
@:: arrives on the Bridge and goes to engineering console:: CO: Sir

CIV_Charn says:
@::walks towards the resident Klingon:: CSO: Anything I might lend you a hand with?

Host CO_Morgan says:
@Jadis:  Mind looking into whether there is any energy transmission from the structure to the wormhole?

CTO_Loran says:
@CO:  Sir, it is ready to be deployed, but, I would suggest that it should be deployed by us first going through the wormhole to make sure it is set up correctly.

Host CO_Morgan says:
@::nods to the CEO::  CEO:  Let's get that probe ready to launch ASAP.

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@::sitting patiently at his station and work feverishly on the console::

XO_Claymore says:
@CNS: Doors open....

CIV_Charn says:
@::turns to the Captain:: CO: Not a problem. Sir. ::smiles and accesses the sensors::

CSO_Washudoin says:
@CIV: You could keep track on the probes input when it comes in but that's all I have for now.

CEO_McDuggle says:
@CSO: do your scans pick up a decrease solar winds around the sun

Host CO_Morgan says:
@CTO:  Negative, I want to stay here an monitor the situation.  Launch the probe when ready.

XO_Claymore says:
@*Bridge*: We're ready down here, clearance?

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The alien ship is just sitting there.  No indication of movement, but it is emitting a communications beam to the framework around the sun.

CNS_Savar says:
@::Keeps an eye on things during the short trip to the station::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@OPS:  Anything from the Nomads?

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@::trying to interpret the communications beam::

CEO_McDuggle says:
@CO : sir probe ready to launch on your orders

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@CO: No, sir.  They haven't responded to any of our hails.

CIV_Charn says:
@CSO: It's all right, you don't *have* to keep me busy, my goal is to simply be of aid to you. ::starts scanning for any kind of transmission linking the wormhole and the structure, or the alien ship for that matter.... whatever is correct here::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@OPS:  Keep trying.

CTO_Loran says:
@CO:  Aye, Sir.

CSO_Washudoin says:
@:: Grins slightly at CIV and nods::

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@CO: Yes, sir.

CIV_Charn says:
@::offers a grin back at the CSO and returns to her task::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@COMM: XO:  What's your ETA to the Station?

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@CO: Sir, I've been monitoring the communications beam between the ship and the structure.  It's a simple remote control beam, but I can't decipher it's instructions.

CTO_Loran says:
@::sees a signal coming from the Nomad ship and tries to decipher it.  He checks the status of the wormhole now and compares it to the information they picked up on it when they returned to their galaxy::

CEO_McDuggle says:
@CSO: are you picking a power build up in the lattice

CIV_Charn says:
@CO: I am getting the same as OPS here. It appears to be encrypted.

Host CO_Morgan says:
@OPS:  Run it through the computer.  ::looks up a Jadis:: See what you and Miss Charn can come up with.

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@CO: Yes, sir.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: Purplish-green energy spikes begin to streak, like lightning, all around the latticework.

CIV_Charn says:
@::nods at the Captain and then at Janarn:: OPS: I am going to try some basic logarithms to get us started.

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@::begins running the encryption through the computer::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@CSO:  Report!  What is that?  ::gestures to the lattice on the screen::

CSO_Washudoin says:
@CO: Checking now Sir.

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@CIV: Sounds great.  I'll see if we can notice any patterns.

CEO_McDuggle says:
@CO: sir I'm picking up energy spikes streaking around the lattice

CTO_Loran says:
@::runs scans on the purple energy coming from the latticework::

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@::tries to think....purple, green, purple, green...what do those colors mean?::

CNS_Savar says:
@COMM: Arcadia: Arcadia Station , come in.

CIV_Charn says:
@::starts the check-ups, hoping there's something they can work with to decipher the communication signal:: OPS: I'll have the computer relay results to both our consoles, that way if I miss anything, you'll pick it up for sure.

XO_Claymore says:
@*Bridge*: Repeat, requesting immediate clearance for launch

CSO_Washudoin says:
@CO: Sir is energy that's being drawn from the sun.

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@::blushes slightly at Miss Charn's quiet compliment.:: CIV: Sounds good. ::smiles::

CSO_Washudoin says:
@CO: It seems to be working it's way around the object.

CIV_Charn says:
@::steals a glance towards the latticework:: CO: I sincerely hope we're not in direct line between that structure and the wormhole. I don't like the look of that energy buildup.

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@*XO*: Shuttle, you are go for launch.

XO_Claymore says:
@*OPS*: Thank you...

CNS_Savar says:
@COMM: Arc: Arcadia, please come in.

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@CO: Sir?  Could they be trying to seal the wormhole or open a new one?

XO_Claymore says:
@CNS: forget full impulse... push it to max

CIV_Charn says:
@::smiles at OPS, he seems like a shy guy:: OPS: First batch coming in.... no results, apparently. Starting with something slightly different.

Host CO_Morgan says:
@::looks at Jadis, then quickly checks the Thomas position as he has the same thought...Happily sees they are not in a direct line::

CNS_Savar says:
@::Brings shuttle to full power, heading directly for the station::

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@::thinking hard:: CIV: What if we modulate the wave frequency like this?  ::sends formulas to CIV's computer::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: Communications with the station are being disrupted by the energy build up around the sun.

CNS_Savar says:
#XO: I'm trying to call the station to tell them we're coming, and to activate the SCI sensors, but no one is responding.

Host CO_Morgan says:
@OPS:  That is what you and the rest of the science and engineering types should be trying to find out.  When you figure it out tell me, so I can decide what to do about it.  That's what the command types do.

XO_Claymore says:
#CNS: I'm not picking up any subspace communications, something must be blocking them

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@CO: Sir, we're losing communications with the station as the buildup increases.

CIV_Charn says:
@::checks OPS' work and raises an eyebrow:: OPS: Interesting... very interesting. Let me add something here... ::taps the console:: All right... trying. ::taps the optical interface and hopes it gets them closer to deciphering the comm signals::

CSO_Washudoin says:
@:: Continues looking at the scans coming in on the energy::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The purplish-green energy now begins to collect in one spot on the latticework.  A spot in direct relation to the wormhole.

Host CO_Morgan says:
@OPS:  Subspace interference?

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The shuttle arrives at Arcadia Station

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@CIV: Damn...just what I feared.  The energy is being directed at the wormhole.  Can we use this information to figure out what's happening?

CSO_Washudoin says:
@:: Hears the CO's little snap and works harder:: CO: Sir it seems to be aiming for the wormhole.

CTO_Loran says:
@OPS:  I don't think they would be trying to seal it with one of their ships on this side of it.  I believe that it is something that will help support the wormhole and allow it to stay open.  Make it a permanent wormhole.

CEO_McDuggle says:
@:: tries remodulating comm frequency to restore communications::

CIV_Charn says:
@::takes a look at the sensor, and talks to self but loud enough to be heard:: I hope the Station isn't in a direct line either... ::checks their position as well, and gets ready to scan the energy once it's released, because it looks like that's what will happen::

XO_Claymore says:
CNS: Let's get to OPS like we got here... quickly ::activates another site to site::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@::to know one in particular::  That doesn't look promising...

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The wormhole opens and a huge bolt of continuous energy streams from the sun through the wormhole.

CNS_Savar says:
::Materializes::

CIV_Charn says:
@OPS: They need the energy on the other side, that's what I can tell right now. So far... ::looks at the readings:: I do not know if it's having any effect on the wormhole itself.

CNS_Savar says:
::Moves directly to Science, getting all sensors up and running, and attempting a two-way data link with the Thomas::

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@CO: Definitely interference.  We're boosting the signal, but it might get worse.

XO_Claymore says:
::looks around all frantic junior officers:: Juniors: Return to your stations!

CSO_Washudoin says:
@:: Scans the  energy stream::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@Bridge crew: Well I would say that about answers what the lattice is for...The question now is where is the energy going and why?

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@CIV: I wonder why they need the energy though.  What could they need with the power of the sun?

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@CIV: Besides, I think we still need the sun. ::smiling::

XO_Claymore says:
CNS: status situation? ::puts the wormhole on the main viewer to check it::

CTO_Loran says:
@::runs intensive scans on the wormhole, checking its stability::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@CSO/CTO:  Are we getting anything on our probes on the other side, or is there still too much interference?

CIV_Charn says:
@::finds humor in that:: OPS: Yes, we kind of liked it like it was, didn't we?

CNS_Savar says:
XO: I've got scanners up.  There's an energy bolt from the sun to the wormhole

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@::blushing slightly:: CIV: We sure did.

CNS_Savar says:
XO: Also, no communications to the ship.  The energy output from the sun is interfering with subspace.

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@CO: Sir, I'm trying to track the path of the beam and find out exactly where it's going.

CNS_Savar says:
::Makes doubly sure that the station is recording this, for further analysis::

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@::madly tracking the trajectory of the beam::

XO_Claymore says:
CNS: What's the danger with all this out there?

CIV_Charn says:
@OPS: All right..... nothing with the comm signal. I'm going to try with a more complicated algorithm.

CSO_Washudoin says:
@::Tries to  reads the scans from the probes:: CO: There are no readings Sir.

CEO_McDuggle says:
@CO: sir I suggest we launch another probe to just this side of the wormhole and try to use it as a relay link

CNS_Savar says:
XO: The only danger would be getting in the path of that bolt... sun analysis is still coming up

CIV_Charn says:
@::sighs, because she kind of wanted to know what the instructions were, although they have seen something 'get done'::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@CTO:  Can we launch our probe with out getting it fried by that energy pulse?

XO_Claymore says:
::thinks a moment:: CNS: I'm still going to prepare the station for evacuation, keep me advised of any changes or immediate danger

CIV_Charn says:
@::gets an idea and taps some codes that she isn't supposed to even know to the computer, wondering if Intel stuff could be of aid to decipher this transmission::

CNS_Savar says:
XO: I would say that is a bit over precautious, but acceptable within the unknown nature of the latticework

CSO_Washudoin says:
@:: Watches the sun thermal output drop::

CEO_McDuggle says:
@CO: sir I'm reading a reduction in thermal output from the sun

CIV_Charn says:
@::decides that in the worst of cases, those codes will start a decoding program which is too old to be of use to Intel nowadays. Who will mind? Not her::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The link from the alien ship to the latticework ceases.

Host CO_Morgan says:
@CEO:  How much of a decrease?

CNS_Savar says:
XO: Sir!  Analysis of the sun is complete and a little disturbing

CIV_Charn says:
@::raises her head:: CO: The alien ship and the structure have stopped communicating.

XO_Claymore says:
::moves over to a command console:: All Hands: All hands, this is the executive officer speaking, We are going to prepare the station for evacuation immediately. All hands are to report to their assigned life pods. Docked ships are to take on as many personnel. Further instructions are forthcoming.

CTO_Loran says:
@CO:  We cannot launch one without it getting fried in the process Sir.  The beam is just too wide.

XO_Claymore says:
CNS: What is it?

Host CO_Morgan says:
@Jadis: Thank you.  Keep working on deciphering the codes.  Maybe we can figure out how to hit the off switch.

CNS_Savar says:
XO: From the drop in thermal output and nuclear activity, the sun has become unstable.  It is likely to go nova in slightly over 100 years.  I'll work on a more accurate timing

CEO_McDuggle says:
@CO: right now it is minimal and according to my calculation the sun would go nova in about 100 years

Host CO_Morgan says:
@CTO:  Acknowledged.

CIV_Charn says:
@::nods, and keeps working on deciphering what they have saved to their computer::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The Nomads hail the Thomas

XO_Claymore says:
CNS: That is not going to make many people happy.

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@CO: Sir!  A message from the Nomads.

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@CO: They're hailing us, sir.

Host CO_Morgan says:
@OPS:  Put it through.

CNS_Savar says:
XO: To use a human phrase, it's not the worst of it

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@CO: Aye, sir. ::puts the Nomads on the viewscreen::

TO_Kelor says:
::Enters the bridge and takes position at tactical::

CTO_Loran says:
@CO:  Sir, the signal is weak.  I'm trying to boost the signal.

Host CO_Morgan says:
@CTO:  Begin working out a tactical analysis of the lattice weak points.

CIV_Charn says:
@::no use with the Intel deciphering stuff. She should have known it wouldn't work, but it was worth trying. Jadis deletes the codes she used earlier and starts over with another one::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@CSO:  Time before the solar corona begins to expand?

CTO_Loran says:
@CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::starts the calculations as his TO enters the bridge::

XO_Claymore says:
CNS: Counselor, logically speaking... one would think this is an attack, correct?

TO_Kelor says:
@CTO: What do you need sir?

CNS_Savar says:
XO: Before stars go nova, they usually expand from the lack of gravity and nuclear activity.

CSO_Washudoin says:
@CO: Checking now Sir.

Host First says:
COMM: Morgan: Captain.  We regret having to use your star for our purposes, but it cannot be avoided.  That is our primary reason for the creation of our wormholes.  Any interference will result in the destruction of your solar system.

CNS_Savar says:
XO: Given the fact that the Nomads do appear to have advanced technology, it may be.  However, their science may not be as far advanced as ours.

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@::feels anger toward these people they believed in::

CIV_Charn says:
@::turns from the console to look at the viewer. How nice of the Nomads.::

CSO_Washudoin says:
@:: Hears the threat and apology and wonders::

XO_Claymore says:
CNS: Yes, but the expansions rarely outreach the Inner Planets... let's hope history repeats itself on that point

CSO_Washudoin says:
@CO: Sir it should start expanding in five years or so.

Host CO_Morgan says:
@COMM:  First:  Well forgive me if I can't see much difference as you have already doomed this system.  What reason or right do you have to do this?

CNS_Savar says:
XO: Sir, that would be for a G-type star, such as Sol.

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@::thinks - it looks like our solar system is dead in five years anyway::

CTO_Loran says:
@TO:  Continue monitoring the scans on the latticework and the wormhole.

CNS_Savar says:
XO: Sol will not go nova, merely collapse.  Nova stars may expand even further

TO_Kelor says:
@CTO: Aye sir. ::sets about the task::

CNS_Savar says:
::Sets science station to work on time table for the end of the Arcadian system::

XO_Claymore says:
::moves over to the Engineering stations:: CNS: You wouldn't happen to have Energy calculations on the amount of blast we'll be getting?

Host First says:
COMM: Morgan: ::eyes dim slightly:: Our very survival.

CNS_Savar says:
XO: From a Nova?

CSO_Washudoin says:
@:: Continues scanning the sun and lattice object::

CTO_Loran says:
@::moves out from behind tactical and moves to the XO's chair, walking behind the Captain and pulls up the console to continue the calculations::

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@::wonders why they picked an occupied system::

XO_Claymore says:
CNS: from a nova, inverse square, out this far... yes

CNS_Savar says:
XO: If I had to speculate, I would say that Arcadia Station, at present distance, would crumble.

CNS_Savar says:
XO: Novas are intensely powerful

Host CO_Morgan says:
@COMM:  First:  As you have scanned out databases, you would know that we would have been more than willing to help...but this...this is tantamount to an act of war!

CNS_Savar says:
XO: Sol would witness the explosion very brightly.  Probably visible in the day sky

CIV_Charn says:
@::wishes they had more information to confirm what the First just said::

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@CIV: Maybe we could try to trace the path of the communications beam back to its source and piggy back an energy surge to disrupt it.  What do you think?

CIV_Charn says:
@::can't do much on wishes alone though:: OPS: Forwarding the latest results to you, I'm going to try something different... ::stops as what Janarn says::

Host First says:
COMM: Morgan: Indeed, but your entire Federation could never supply the power we require.

CSO_Washudoin says:
@:: To himself: Today is a Good day to die, continues scanning::

XO_Claymore says:
CNS: not for a few years unless it went into subspace. But that's not important right now... at the moment moving the station out a lot more and then increasing shield power is--- five years doesn't sound like a long enough time period if you know what I mean

CIV_Charn says:
@OPS: They stopped the signal.... not to mention they just threatened us. How do you propose to do so without their noticing?

CNS_Savar says:
XO: Five years is enough to move the station, if Starfleet so decides.

CNS_Savar says:
::Decides to check on Sickbay::

CNS_Savar says:
*Sickbay*: Savar to Sickbay.

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@CIV: Well, I don't think we'd need to hide it since they attacked our solar system.  But maybe.... ::punches a few keys on his console:: CIV: What if we did this?

CNS_Savar says:
*<Sickbay>*: Savar, Nurse Skelly here.

CIV_Charn says:
@::approaches OPS' console to get a better look::

CNS_Savar says:
*Sickbay*: Are things under control down there, Nurse?

Host CO_Morgan says:
@COMM: First:  I am sorry, but I cannot allow you to destroy this system.  If you stop now and reverse the process, we can still work things out and I can assure you that the Federation will do what it can to help.  But if you continue...we will have to look upon this as an act of overt aggression, and take the necessary counter measures.

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@::gets a little nervous around the attractive Miss Charn but holds his position::

CNS_Savar says:
*<Sickbay>*: Sir, everything is under control.

CEO_McDuggle says:
@:: scans lattice looking for a way to shut it down::

CNS_Savar says:
*Sickbay*: Excellent.  Savar out.

CIV_Charn says:
@OPS: May I ask what you're doing? ::openly curious::

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@CIV: See?  If we mask it as a carrier wave like this?  It might look like feedback from the structure.

TO_Kelor says:
@::continues scanning the latticework in desperation::

XO_Claymore says:
::gets reports that one of the ships is ready to leave:: CNS: There's an Excelsior Class in the docking bay ready to go. Send them the data we've collected on that energy bolt. I don't want them to hit it on the way out of the system, I'm going to send them out to contact Starfleet

Host First says:
COMM: You must do as you must, just as I must do the same.  The process as of now is irreversible.

CIV_Charn says:
@OPS: That's ingenious. ::smiles:: Let me see... ::taps a couple of buttons on his console::

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@::feels her nearness to him and slightly gulps and blushes but keeps a professional acumen::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@COMM: First:  I implore you to turn away from this path.  There is still time.  Bloodshed will do nothing to help either of our peoples.

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@CIV: You think the Captain would approve of it?

CIV_Charn says:
@::bites her lower lip at the First's words. She does not like the Nomads anymore:: OPS: I have no clue, but he's busy right now. Lay the blame on my doorstep if it comes to that. I'll continue from my console.

CSO_Washudoin says:
@:: Prepares to search for  a chink in the Nomads armor, keeps scanning the sun::

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@CIV: This doesn't look good, does it?

CNS_Savar says:
::Sends information to ship::

CIV_Charn says:
@::shakes her head:: OPS: On all accounts, it does not.

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@::a flash of brilliance pops into his head::

CIV_Charn says:
@::back at her console, hoping to get some results from OPS' idea::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@::in a low voice::  CTO:  Bring all weapons online.  Load the Quantum torpedoes.

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@CIV: What if we were to find a way to tell the structure to reverse the effects of the beam?  Could we siphon the energy back?

CIV_Charn says:
@::her ears get the Captain's words and she inwardly tenses::

TO_Kelor says:
@CO: Ever play poker sir?

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@CIV: They must have some sort of structure around their sun to channel the energy they harnessed from ours.

Host First says:
COMM: You pleading will do no good, Captain.  What's done is done.  I cannot reverse it, even if I wanted to.  This communication is ended.

CIV_Charn says:
@OPS: It we could decipher the comm..... then we'd have to deal with the fact that it has never been tried before.

TO_Kelor says:
@CO: You could try to bluff them.

XO_Claymore says:
::clears the ship:: CNS: I hope they get through we might need some help

Host CO_Morgan says:
@COMM:  First:  I am sorry to hear that.  May the gods have mercy on your souls.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The Nomad ship cuts the comm signal

Host CO_Morgan says:
@OPS:  Cut channel.

CIV_Charn says:
@::she thinks for a moment:: OPS: If.... ::shakes her head:: if they can feed one star from the other, then the reverse is possible.

CTO_Loran says:
@CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::brings the weapon systems online::  Sir, I've found what could be a weak point.  It is opposite where the beam is emanating from.

Host CO_Morgan says:
@CTO:  Lock weapons on the emanation point.  Full spread of torpedoes.

Host CO_Morgan says:
@Jadis:  Well have you and our young Ensign come up with anything?

TO_Kelor says:
@::wonders how this is ever going to work:: CTO: Weapon systems on line sir.

CIV_Charn says:
@::grins at the way he addresses OPS:: CO: Yes and no. We are assuming they are feeding their star from ours.... therefore, the reverse is possible. But our attempts to decipher the comm signal to be able to counteract the process have not met with success so far.

CTO_Loran says:
@CO:  Aye, Sir.  

Host CO_Morgan says:
@Jadis:  Can we set up a harmonic to disrupt the process?

CTO_Loran says:
@TO:  Fire at the emanation point of the beam from the lattice work.

TO_Kelor says:
@::targets the frame woks weak point::

TO_Kelor says:
@::fires photons, full spread::

CIV_Charn says:
@CO: Not considering they stopped communicating with the structure. It is fed with its orders right now, so our only hope is to give it new orders. If we can decipher the encryption, of course.

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@::notices the ship firing and wonders what happened::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: Thomas's weapons lash out at the alien framework, exploding before the y impact and doing no damage

CSO_Washudoin says:
@:: Sees no damage on the sensors to the object::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@::turns to glare at the TO::  CTO/TO: Did I say fire?

Host CO_Morgan says:
@All:  Status?

CSO_Washudoin says:
@CO : No damage recorded Sir.

XO_Claymore says:
CNS: can we track the USS Montrose?

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@CO: Operations normal sir.  The ship is fully powered.

TO_Kelor says:
      @:: retarget beam emanating point, does not fire again::

CIV_Charn says:
@::brows knit for a moment, then she turns at OPS:: OPS: If it were as simple as sending the message the ship sent the latticework, just backwards...

CEO_McDuggle says:
@CO: Sir weapons exploded  well before the target

CTO_Loran says:
@CO:  No Sir.

CNS_Savar says:
XO: Not yet.  The subspace interference has not fully cleared enough yet.

CTO_Loran says:
@::runs scans on what detonated the torpedoes::

CSO_Washudoin says:
@CO :they ran into residual energy and we're set off before contact.

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@CIV: Let's try it.  Let's try reversing the signal and see what happens.

Host CO_Morgan says:
@CSO:  Well, I guess we learned something from that abortive attack.  Now we know what not to do.

CSO_Washudoin says:
@CO: Agreed Sir.

CIV_Charn says:
@::turns at the Captain, waiting for his permission before going ahead::

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@CO: Sir?  I think we might have a plan.

CIV_Charn says:
@CO: We could try reversing the signal towards the latticework.

CIV_Charn says:
@CO: In the worst of cases, it just won't work.

XO_Claymore says:
CNS: The sensors can emit high energy photons, correct?

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@CO: Best case, we'll get our energy back.

CNS_Savar says:
XO: The sensors?  No... the phasers possibly, or the deflector dish

CIV_Charn says:
@::is not too sure about that, but won't say it::

CTO_Loran says:
@CO:  Sir, the torpedoes were prematurely detonated by some kind of energy that is a combination of the sun's radiation and a carrier wave supported by anti polarons.

Host CO_Morgan says:
 @OPS/Jadis:  Go ahead and try, we can't make things much worse...::in a low voice:: ...I hope.

CTO_Loran says:
@::tracks that signal::

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@::smiles at Jadis:: CIV: Let's do it.

XO_Claymore says:
CNS: you wouldn't happen to know anything about laser communications would you?

Host CO_Morgan says:
@TO:  Status of the Nomad vessel?

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@::running signal through the comm system::

CIV_Charn says:
@OPS: All right, I am ready here.... so it's up to you now.

TO_Kelor says:
@CO: No change sir.

Host CO_Morgan says:
@CTO:  What sort of carrier wave?

CNS_Savar says:
XO: Not enough, but the databanks would contain enough information to do it

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@CIV: Let's do it then. ::presses signal button with reversed signal::

CIV_Charn says:
@::scanning the latticework actively for its reaction::

CTO_Loran says:
@CO:  I'm trying to find that out right now, Sir.

XO_Claymore says:
CNS: It will work for in system communications, we'll be able to send a message to the Thomas, unfortunately it won't be real-time

CNS_Savar says:
XO: However, the receiver would also have to be set up to input laser signals

Host CO_Morgan says:
@OPS:  Anything?

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@CO: Still waiting for results sir.  I can't tell if there are any effects yet.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: After the required travel time for the signal, it contacts the latticework, the energy from the latticework stops momentarily, then begins to build up again.

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@::scanning for results::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@CSO/CEO: Begin working on a way to collapse that wormhole.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The Nomad ship moves to intercept the Thomas and fires its weapons.

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@CO: Sir...we disrupted the beam momentarily, but only for a moment.  Perhaps if we run it continuously and boost the signal?

CIV_Charn says:
@CO: The energy stopped for a moment... but it's building up again.

CSO_Washudoin says:
@CO: Acknowledged! :: Starts figuring::

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@CO: Attack!!!!  Shields raised!!!!

TO_Kelor says:
@::Targets nomad weapon systems::

CTO_Loran says:
@CO:  The Nomads are firing at us.

CEO_McDuggle says:
@CO Roger sir:: starts running simulations to destroy wormhole::

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@CO: Maybe we're onto something.

Host CO_Morgan says:
@Helm:  Evasive action.  TO:  Target Nomad vessel and fire.

TO_Kelor says:
@::fires weapons at nomad ship::

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@::again sends signal to the latticework and boosts the power to the signal::

XO_Claymore says:
CNS: unfortunate... prepare a communications probe, load our current status and launch it towards the Thomas. I doubt they'd ignore it

CSO_Washudoin says:
@CEO: Could there be a way to use the beam to help implode the hole?

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: Thomas' weapons impact the Nomad ship causing serious damage.

CNS_Savar says:
XO: Actually, sir... I'm picking up weapons fire.  Do we want to send a probe in right now?

XO_Claymore says:
CNS: Weapons fire?

TO_Kelor says:
@::What?:: CO: serious damage to nomad ship sir

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@::scanning for results again::

CNS_Savar says:
XO: Yes.

CEO_McDuggle says:
@CSO: It is possible we could try this ::shows CSO what he's got so far::

CIV_Charn says:
@::scanning as well::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The Nomad ship experiences secondary explosions.  The beam from the latticework stops.

Host CO_Morgan says:
@OPS: Open a channel to the Nomads.

XO_Claymore says:
::gets perturbed:: CNS: What type of weapons fire, who's firing?

CTO_Loran says:
@CO:  Sir, secondary explosions on the Nomad ship.

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@CO: Aye, sir. ::opening channel:: COMM: Nomad ship:: This is the USS Thomas.  Please respond.

CNS_Savar says:
XO: The Thomas, at least.  Other residual may be Nomad weapons

CSO_Washudoin says:
@:: Looks over CEO's theory's::

TO_Kelor says:
@CO: The vessel will explode in 10 second sir.

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@::sending beam again to the latticework...::

CTO_Loran says:
@FCO:  Ensign, get us way from the Nomad ship, full impulse.

Host CO_Morgan says:
@Helm:  Get us out of here.  OPS:  Maximum power to the shields!

XO_Claymore says:
CNS: I'm glad we're already at red alert.... take over tactical

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@CO: Aye sir!  ::shifting all spare power to the shields::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The Nomad ship explodes, causing the Thomas to shake seriously.

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@CO: Shields at 110%

CIV_Charn says:
@::grabs her console for support as the ship shakes::

CTO_Loran says:
@::falls from his chair to the floor::

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@CO: And holding.

Host CO_Morgan says:
@<Ahab> CO:  I'll try sir.  ::pilots the Thomas trying to ride the crest of the shock wave::

CNS_Savar says:
XO: Sir, explosion.  And it's not the Thomas.  Debris looks like the Nomad ship, and some of the latticework

TO_Kelor says:
@::picking self off the floor:: CO: It gone sir.

Host CO_Morgan says:
@All:  Status?

XO_Claymore says:
::moves to Operations and prepares the station for what might be occurring:: CNS: the comm interference?

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@CO: Sir, warp drive is off line and radiation casualties are being reported through the ship.

CEO_McDuggle says:
@CO: warp engines offline sir

CTO_Loran says:
@::gets back up into the chair and goes over damage reports and injuries::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The latticework remains around the star, but is inoperative.

CNS_Savar says:
XO: Gone

Host CO_Morgan says:
@CSO:  What about the lattice?

CIV_Charn says:
@::smudges her forehead while trying to brush away a strand of hair:: CO: The latticework is not working, but still there.

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
@::sending signal again to the latticework::

CSO_Washudoin says:
@CO : Some circuits burnt out here, I can work around them.

XO_Claymore says:
COMM: Thomas: Arcadia Station contacting the USS Thomas, come in Thomas

TO_Kelor says:
@::scans weapon and defensive systems for damage::

CTO_Loran says:
@::scans for the carrier wave::

CSO_Washudoin says:
@CO: It's still there but it's inoperative.

OPS_Darius_Janarn says:
COMM: Arcadia: Go ahead Arcadia.
