<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<RESUME MISSION>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CTO_Loran says:
::stands at tactical, running scans for the Nomad drone that was sent back to this galaxy::

CNS_Savar says:
::Sitting in his office, writing personal files and finishing up::

CEO_McDuggle says:
:: is in ME going over reports::

TO_Baggins says:
:: enters the bridge and reports to CTO_Loran ::

OPS_Janarn says:
::standing at the OPS station::

Host CO_Morgan says:
::sitting in the command chair, watching as the new system comes into view on the monitor:: CTO:  Any luck on running down that probe?

OPS_Janarn says:
::monitoring the ship and all her inhabitants::

XO_Claymore says:
::walks onto the Bridge for the first time in a few days near Operations...:: OPS: if there are any communications with the Uden the Captain has asked that I not be around. If I'm on the bridge please be sure to leave me out of the picture.

MO_Calahan says:
::is trying to relax, drinking a cappuccino....with her good arm......::

OPS_Janarn says:
XO: ::nodding:: Aye, sir.

CNS_Savar says:
::Decides to report to the Captain, and leaves his office, entering a nearby Turbolift:: TL: Bridge

OPS_Janarn says:
::making adjustments to the camera operating systems::

CTO_Loran says:
CO:  No, Sir, no luck on the drone as of yet.  ::goes and pulls up what data the comm/sensor array collected when it was still operational::

TO_Baggins says:
CTO : Ens. Baggins reporting for duty

XO_Claymore says:
::moves over to the science station and reviews the data on the consoles::

CNS_Savar says:
::Arrives on the Bridge::

MO_Calahan says:
::goes over some research, but is unable to get the thought of Jepoth's knife out of her head....::

CNS_Savar says:
::Nods a small greeting to anyone who acknowledges his presence and walks over to his chair:: CO: Sir.

CTO_Loran says:
::looks over his shoulder at the Ensign and nods to him::  TO:  Glad to have you aboard, Ensign.  Go over this data ::points to a terminal behind him:: and it will catch you up on our situation.

XO_Claymore says:
::takes a seat in the open chair::

OPS_Janarn says:
CO: Sir, I'm picking up four ships on sensors.

Host CO_Morgan says:
::nods to the Counselor::  CNS:  Come up with anything new from the data?

CNS_Savar says:
CO: Nothing much.  I must speak to you about the morale.

TO_Baggins says:
:: looks at the console the CTO pointed to and approaches it ::

OPS_Janarn says:
CO: Entering visual range ::Putting the ships on screen::

Host CO_Morgan says:
CNS:  In a moment, if you please, counselor. ::turns at hearing OPS report:: OPS:  Identification?

OPS_Janarn says:
CO: The large one is four times the size of a galaxy class ship.  Identity unknown.

XO_Claymore says:
::stares at the readouts on the blackhole:: Self: It feels like we're moving away from our only chance.

OPS_Janarn says:
CO: Sir.... ::trailing off as he reads his sensor data::

Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO:  Weapon systems?

OPS_Janarn says:
CO: They are all armed with heavy weaponry.

MO_Calahan says:
::reaches down and pulls the switch blade out of her boot to examine more closely::

CEO_McDuggle says:
::checks monitors in ME and see ships coming in to view::

CTO_Loran says:
::scans the new ships::

TO_Baggins says:
:: moves hand over the console and brings up the data the CTO was referring to ::

Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO:  Bring us to yellow alert.  OPS:  Mr. Jaran, please open a channel to the Jklar.

CNS_Savar says:
::sits quietly::

CTO_Loran says:
::brings the ship to yellow alert::  CO:  Aye, Sir.

OPS_Janarn says:
CO: Yes, sir. ::opening channel:: Channel open sir.

OPS_Janarn says:
::makes sure the XO is out of the picture::

Host CO_Morgan says:
COMM: Jklar:  Are these vessels members of your Alliance?

CEO_McDuggle says:
:: checks sensors reading on the ships and sees ship come to yellow alert and checks power to weapons and shields::

Host Jklar says:
COMM: Morgan: Yes, indeed, they are, yes.  They welcome you!

MO_Calahan says:
::gets up, slipping the knife into her sleeve, and walks to the lab, to run a few scans (if possible) on the knife::

Host CO_Morgan says:
::wonders how armed weapon systems equal a welcome other than hostile:: COMM: Jklar:  Please pass on my greetings to them.  Perhaps you could introduce us.

CTO_Loran says:
::gets information for both of the Captain's requests and waits until he is done talking to Jklar to inform him::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The vessels begin firing their weapons in the general direction of the Thomas.  The weapons explode harmlessly well out of range and make a pretty light show.

OPS_Janarn says:
::calmly does passive scans of the ship interiors hoping to gain information::

OPS_Janarn says:
::quickly begins scanning the weapons effectiveness::

Host CO_Morgan says:
::thinks, fireworks, gee great, better than being shot at though::

CEO_McDuggle says:
:: sees weapon fire from the ships::

CNS_Savar says:
::Illogical use of power::

CTO_Loran says:
::calculates any kind of residual effect those explosions might have::

TO_Baggins says:
:: continues to go over the data ::

MO_Calahan says:
::enters the lab and sits down, looking at the knife again::

OPS_Janarn says:
CTO: Sir?  I'm showing the weapons are incredibly powerful and were set on minimal power.  Are you reading the same thing?

MO_Calahan says:
::sets it down, and sets the computer to run a few scans on it.....::

Host CO_Morgan says:
::overhearing Jaran:: OPS:  How powerful?

CTO_Loran says:
OPS:  Yes, that is what I'm getting as well, Ensign.

OPS_Janarn says:
CO: Sir, we can't even fully measure it.

OPS_Janarn says:
CO: But it was apparently on minimal power.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The ships al change position to form a lose tunnel for Thomas to pass through.

TO_Baggins says:
:: thinks to him self " I hate being the new guy I am so lost ::

CTO_Loran says:
CO:  Sir, I have information for you about the drone and their weapons.

Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO:  Go ahead.

OPS_Janarn says:
::wonders what's going on...looks like an honor guard formation::

XO_Claymore says:
::clears the console:: Self: worthless thing...

CTO_Loran says:
CO:  Their weapons consist of all different types of known weapons and a few we do not even have records of.

CTO_Loran says:
CO:  As for the drone, it traveled in this same direction we have been heading.

CNS_Savar says:
::Really didn't care that the CO didn't get back to him... just wanted to tell him some of the crew has started giving up hope::

OPS_Janarn says:
CO: Sir, permission to speak.

TO_Baggins says:
:: finishes reviewing the data ::

Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO:  Thank you, Mr. Loran.  Continue to monitor.

CTO_Loran says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.

Host CO_Morgan says:
OPS:  Yes, Mr. Jaran?

OPS_Janarn says:
CO: Is it possible they are forming an honor guard of sorts?  The tunnel they have created seems to be a safe passage.

Host CO_Morgan says:
OPS:  I'm glad to see they are still teaching thinking at the academy.  Yes I think it might be. ::nods for the Thomas to continue on course through the "tunnel"::

Host CO_Morgan says:
CNS:  I'm sorry, Counselor, you wanted to have a word?

OPS_Janarn says:
CO: Aye, sir.  Continuing through the tunnel.

CNS_Savar says:
CO: All I wanted to say was that I've talked with several crew members who had given up hope on reaching home.  You may have also run into several of them.

OPS_Janarn says:
CO: One half impulse power.

OPS_Janarn says:
::tapping the keyboard that is slaved to the FCO console::

XO_Claymore says:
::taps commbadge for more direct conversation:: CTO_Loran:  Loran, are you scanning for matches of the technology on the drone at this time?

Host CO_Morgan says:
CNS:  I am afraid that it is only to be expected, but thank you for bring it to my attention.  Please see that you do what you can to keep ship's morale up and keep me informed if it looks to slip further.

CNS_Savar says:
CO: Aye, sir

Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO:  Any sign of Htem technology in the system on sensors?

CTO_Loran says:
*XO*:  I was trying to track the drone itself.  I thought that if we found the working model that we might be able to use the information we got from our researchers to help recreate the wormhole.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The Thomas passes through the tunnel and the ships all peel off in different directions.  There is a small station on the other side of the planet.  The Uden are still leading the way there.

OPS_Janarn says:
CO: Sir, we're detecting a small station on the other side of the planet.

OPS_Janarn says:
CO: Sensors are at maximum, but no further information.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: There is another ship in orbit of the station.  It is the Nomad probe.

Host CO_Morgan says:
OPS:  Thank you.  Continue on course.

XO_Claymore says:
*CTO*: Alright, keep doing that as you get the chance, I'll do a grid search for comparable technology ::hears OPS:: outside of this system.

CTO_Loran says:
CO:  Sir, I have found the drone.  It is in orbit around the station.

CEO_McDuggle says:
::checks sensors and sees a station and the nomad probe and gets his team ready::

XO_Claymore says:
::turns towards the viewer:: Self: maybe not...

Host CO_Morgan says:
::well finally something goes our way::  CTO:  Does it still appear to be intact?

CTO_Loran says:
CO:  Yes, Sir, it does still to be in one piece.

XO_Claymore says:
::scans the drone:: CO: It doesn't have any power

Host CO_Morgan says:
XO:  Do we have records on the power signature of the probe, and can we repower it?

MO_Calahan says:
::gives up, finding nothing, and walks to main sickbay::

MO_Calahan says:
::replaces the dagger in her boot, and refills her cappuccino::

Host CO_Morgan says:
::wonders how difficult it will be to get his people on the probe, may he can just wave his hand and say 'make it so'::

CTO_Loran says:
CO:  Sir, we might have to try and send data to it like we did when we turned off that array that was sucking the life from out sun.

CNS_Savar says:
::Stands up and walks around the bridge, looking over shoulders::

XO_Claymore says:
::does a quick check in sensor logs:: CO: We do sir, but I don't know if that will help us out any. We'd have to go over there and find out how it works and you know what reverse engineering is like

CEO_McDuggle says:
::starts scanning probe to see if a team would need encounter suit or not if they are to beam in::

OPS_Janarn says:
CO: That could work, sir.  We could at least try and see if it activates anything.

TO_Baggins says:
:: turns around after closing the file of data and approaches the CTO :: CTO : I have finished reviewing the data what would you like me to do now

Host CO_Morgan says:
Ops: Contact the Uden, and see about sending an engineering team to the probe.

OPS_Janarn says:
CO: Aye, sir.

OPS_Janarn says:
::opening a channel to the Uden:: COMM: Uden: Uden ship, please come in, this is the Thomas.

CTO_Loran says:
::turns to the TO::  TO:  Be prepared to go on an away team to that drone and provide security for those present.

OPS_Janarn says:
::after a brief discussion with the Uden::

OPS_Janarn says:
CO: Sir, they say that you may do whatever you wish.

OPS_Janarn says:
CO: And I think they called you...emperor? ::quizzical::

Host CO_Morgan says:
::rolls his eyes as he is reminded of his defacto title::  CEO:  McDuggle, get a team ready to board the drone.  Get a good cross section of engineering and science involved.

CEO_McDuggle says:
*CO* roger sir I already have the team assembled

OPS_Janarn says:
CO: Sir, do you want me to join the team?

XO_Claymore says:
::grins and thinks about saying "May the Emperor's humble subject accompany his Chief Engineer" but decides on:: CO: Sir, may I join the away team?

CNS_Savar says:
::Decides that if the Captain wants him on the away team, he'll say so::

CEO_McDuggle says:
*CTO* : do you have your security team ready

Host CO_Morgan says:
::glares at the XO:: XO:  Yes, and taking the smiling Ensign with you as well, better take security and Dr. Calahan as well.

CTO_Loran says:
*CEO*:  Yes, I do.

CEO_McDuggle says:
*CTO*: have them meet us in TR1

CTO_Loran says:
CO:  Sir, are you sure it is a good idea to allow Cmdr. Claymore to leave the ship after his 'incident' with Jklar?

XO_Claymore says:
::thinks he is getting into something he shouldn't have when all he wanted to do was take some scans... Stands and heads for the Turbolift::

Host CO_Morgan says:
CNS:  I know you have the crew morale to look after, but we are a bit short on SO's right now.  Would you please accompany the team as well.

XO_Claymore says:
::stops in front of the lift::

Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO:  The more out of sight he is the better.

CTO_Loran says:
TO:  You heard the chief, get to transporter room 1.

CNS_Savar says:
CO: Aye, sir.

MO_Calahan says:
::sips her cappuccino again, going over reports at the main console in main sickbay::

XO_Claymore says:
::watches as everyone bunches up into the Turbolift::

CNS_Savar says:
::Looks at the XO::  XO: Ready to go?

CEO_McDuggle says:
::arrives with team at TR1::

XO_Claymore says:
CNS: you give the word, counselor

TO_Baggins says:
CTO : Aye Sir!! on my way Sir :: turns and exits the bridge ::

CNS_Savar says:
XO: The word is given, Commander

TO_Baggins says:
Computer : Transporter room 1

XO_Claymore says:
*MO*: Dr Calahan report to Transporter Room one with your medical kit, we're going on an away mission

MO_Calahan says:
::raises an eyebrow:: *XO*: Aye sir, on my way.

CNS_Savar says:
XO: I just need to acquire a tricorder before I leave.

XO_Claymore says:
CNS: I'm sure they'll be a stock of them in transporter room

CNS_Savar says:
XO: No doubt

MO_Calahan says:
::walks over and picks up a med. kit, making sure its ready, the puts it over her right shoulder, and then readjusts her sling as she heads out the door to the TL::

OPS_Janarn says:
::joins the away team::

MO_Calahan says:
::enters TL::

XO_Claymore says:
::TL stops:: CNS: Counselor ::allowing him to walk out first::

MO_Calahan says:
TL: Transporter Room 1.

CNS_Savar says:
XO: Thank you.  ::Leads the way to the Transporter Room::

OPS_Janarn says:
::waits for the XO to exit and then covers his flank::

MO_Calahan says:
::pops neck::

TO_Baggins says:
:: exits the Turbolift and enters TR 1 ::

OPS_Janarn says:
Self: Never a dull day in Starfleet.

MO_Calahan says:
::exits the TL and enters the Transporter Room shortly::

XO_Claymore says:
CNS: I'll be giving mission instructions to everyone when we get over to the drone

CEO_McDuggle says:
ALL : I have already sent some equipment over

CTO_Loran says:
::continues to scan the system, the drone, the ships and the station for new technology, Nomad technology and anything else that might be helpful to our return to our own galaxy::
