FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::Arrives at the station on his transport and takes a deep breath.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::Onboard the Q supervising tests and maintenance on the torpedo launchers::
FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::Makes his way towards command.::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
:: in the station’s Main Operation... taking duty turn for Captain Harker::
FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::Enters the TL and heads for Main Operations.::

ACTION: The Oberth class USS Pegasus enters the station's short range sensor bubble, towing a heavily damaged vessel.

CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
<TO_Gunn> CO: Captain, I have a ship on sensors reading transponder as the USS Pegasus, Oberth class. She's tractoring a heavily damaged ship.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Gunn: Understood.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Ops Griska: Hail the Pegasus
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
<TO_Gunn> ::continues to monitor the situation on sensors::
FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::Steps out of the TL in Main Operations.::
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
::waddling out of a side room, crashes into Cartwright:: Cartwright: Hey! Why don't you watch where you're walking, you oversized, bug-eyed, ruffian!
FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::Looks at the CSO as his milkshake spills on her.:: CSO: Sorry..
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
::still yelling:: Cartwright: I don't need your weak apology, you overgrown meatbag!
FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
CSO: What's your problem? You walked into me.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::turning:: Cartwright: You must be Lt. Commander Cartwright.  I was informed of your arrival.  I am Captain Sulek.  You’ve met the station CSO , Lt. Commander Starr.
FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::Salutes the Captain.:: CO: Yes sir!
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
FCO: I walked into you?  Do you see how tall I am? Shall I get you a pair of spectacles? Or maybe even a VISOR?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
<Griska> Hailing frequency open. Pegasus... Come in Pegasus.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
FCO: You blind Tiberian bat, you.
Host ChrisD says:
@<CO_Captain_Stas> :: A slightly laid back Bolian appears on screen ::  COM: Arcadia: Arcadia Station, this is Captain Stas of the USS Pegasus...
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Cartwright/Starr: Gentlemen, stand down.
FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::Looks down at the CSO.:: CSO: You may want to change uniforms. Strawberry milkshakes stain something fierce.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COM Stas: I am Sulek... How may we be of service?
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
FCO: Change my uniform? I would HAVE to change if you weren't such a clumsy, Nerfherding kumquat!
Host ChrisD says:
<CO_Captain_Stas> COM: Arcadia: What we're towing is all that remains of the USS Napoleon... part of a secondary hull and a nacelle pylon.  We found it adrift in a nearby sector, far off the shipping lanes.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Starr: You may go change.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::Checks the loading and arming mechanisms on the forward torpedo launchers::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COM Stas: Any sign as to what cased the damage?
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
::aggravated: CO: Yes, sir, and do something with the klutz!  :: leaves to change ::
FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::Pats the CSO on the head with a grin.::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Cartwright: I would not do that if I were you.  I believe he will bite. ::raised eyebrow ::
Host ChrisD says:
<CO_Captain_Stas> COM: Arcadia: We picked up some strange energy readings.  They seem to resemble phased energy weapons... but we're not certain.  We're rigged for deep space exploration, not an investigation like this.  We were hoping you might take a look at it.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
:: smacks his hand away, and gives him a look that says, "touch me again like that and you'll pull back a nub" ::
FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
CO: I'm a doctor I can patch it up.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
:: leaves to change ::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COM Stas: I will arrange to have it tractored in.  Please relay a full report to the station and Starfleet command.
Host ChrisD says:
<CO_Captain_Stas> COM: Arcadia: We'll transmit what we have so far.  I'd like to get back to my exploration, with all due respect, Captain.  :: Smiles ::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
TO Gunn: See if you can get a tractor on it and contact Murphy and let her know what's up.

ACTION: The USS Pegasus drops to a still position just inside the station's tractor range and releases its cargo, which hangs lifeless in space.

CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
<TO_Gunn> CO: Aye Captain. ::Sets up a tractor beam to move the remains of the ship to the nearby spacedock and contacts the CTO::
FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::Looks around Operations curiously.::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COM Stas: Understood.  As soon as we have it you can return to your mission.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Starr*: As soon as you've changed, we have wreckage in spacedock that we will need you to look.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Cartwright: Another day in the life of a station.  As soon as Ops gets your station room and ship room assignments, you may check out the Quirinus.  I must go look at this wreckage.
Host ChrisD says:
<CO_Captain_Stas> COM: Arcadia: We'll stand by for your signal, Captain.  Pegasus out.
FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
CO: About how long does OPS take for that?
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
::in a teasing tone: *CO* What did you break now?
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::Leaves the ship and heads to Operations::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::transfers the information from Stas to a PADD:: COM Stas: We have the wreckage in tow.  Thank you, Captain.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
::finishes changing and heads for the Spacedock::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Murphy*: Wreckage is in space dock.  Meet me there.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Cartwright: It's just a simple matter of bringing up the assigned rooms.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
*CO*: On my way Captain. ::takes the TL to the Spacedock::
FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
CO: So, is there someone from OPS on duty or do you mind if I take care of it myself?
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
::arrives in Spacedock::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Griska: You have the conn.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
<Griska> ::Looks at Cartwright::  Cartwright: That would be me.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
:;sees the mess and whistles:: Aloud: Whose hunk of junk is that?
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::Walks off the TL and heads over to the proper bay::
FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
Griska: So quarters assignments then. ::Smiles.::
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CTO: That is one ugly piece of junk.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
<Griska> ::Hands Cartwright a PADD :: Cartwright: You'll find maps on every deck.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CSO: Aye, it's a mess an' no mistake. Any idea how this happened?
FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
Griska: Thank you. Can you have my stuff beamed to my quarters?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
<Griska> Cartwright: Already done.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::arrives deck and looks at the wreckage::
FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
Griska: Thank you. Have a good one.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
::sarcastically:: CTO: It got into a fight and lost?
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
:;chuckles::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CSO: Obviously... but the question is... who did it, aye?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::hands the PADD to Murphy::Murphy/Starr: She was found near the Hromi Cluster.  Initial scans showed faded weapons signatures but higher on the EM band than most known species.
FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::Heads to his new quarters.::
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CTO: That my friend, is what we're going to find out
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::Reviews the PADD quickly, nodding:: CO: I'll get right on that Sir... I'll have a look in the Tactical database to compare the signature and attack pattern to see if anythin' matches.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Starr: See if we recover any of the core data bases.  There's not much left here to go on.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::Goes to the nearest terminal and does scans of the hulk and ties in the Tactical database::
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CO: Then we go OFF the EM band, and use a Optomical Organistic Protoplasm Spectralizer, better known as the O.O.P.S.
FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::Steps off the TL at his deck and heads to his Quarters.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
:: raised eyebrow :: CSO: Sure an' ye made that up.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Starr: OOPS is not a promising acronym
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Murphy: Keep me informed what you two find out.  I have a new FCO to introduce to the helm of the Quirinus.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CTO: No, it's real. ::presses a few buttons, and a bunch of beams flood the outside of the ship running all over it::CO: Blame Starfleet. I didn't name the damn thing.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CO: Interesting Sir... The Napoleon was a New Orleans class heavy frigate, but what's left is more interesting. It seems it was not only destroyed, but stripped. The computers are missing, so is all the antimatter, even the stuff in the self-destruct system. If I had to guess, I'd say it was attacked, stripped, and then they tried to destroy the evidence.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Cartwright*: Lt.Commander: If you care to meet me at the docking ring, I'll show you the ship.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Murphy: So she was disabled and then salvaged.  Now we need to know who.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Murphy: I will be on the Quirinus.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::heads towards the docking ring::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CO: Aye Sir, I'll keep ye apprised.
FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
*CO*: On my way sir.
FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::Heads to the docking ring.::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
:: arrives at the ring port to the Quirinus ::
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
Out loud and horrified:: My God!
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::Starts comparing the residual damage and signatures from the weapons that attacked the ship to known types in the Tactical Database looking for a possible match::
FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::Jogs towards the Quirinus' docking port.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CSO: Ye found something?
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CTO: The breakage of the hull was caused by weapons fire - at a higher band than known species use. A higher band = higher power in this case.  There's organic residue, more of it away from the hull breaches. The stuff closer out would be sucked into space by explosive decompression.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CTO: Most of the organic residue appears to have been vaporized at roughly the same time.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Cartwright:  Welcome to the Quirinus. She was commissioned shortly after the STORM uprising and to replace the Griffon which was destroyed in that engagement.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CTO: If you were to gather up all the people dust, you might come up with enough to account for about eighty people
FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
CO: Thank you, sir.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CSO: Well, that accounts fer the Engineering crew of a New Orleans frigate... their total crew is about 300.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CTO: I think the organisms that remain are actually eating the hull of the ship away.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::shows Cartwright  on to the ship:: Cartwright: I have been her captain, succeeding Captain Maverick....
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
*CO*: Captain, something interesting. Very high power weapons broke up the ship. There isna an exact match, but the closest technology is stuff being worked up by folks called the Nacandarians.
FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
CO: She's a beauty.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CTO: Of course that's inconclusive at this time, and only a guess.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CSO: Best make sure before we send it up the chain then. Let me know when yer sure.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CTO: yea, I want facts on this before making any kind of report.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
*CO*: Also, the only traces of the crew are organic residue. Whatever hit the ship did quite a number on her. I'll keep ye posted.
