USS Cherokee 10303.09  The Black Cluster Part 6
Host SM-Trish says:
The CNS, EO, and CTO are looking for food near the Replicator.  The CTO has gone in a search for more water and food as well.  The CMO has done all he can for the CO and has gone to help other crew that have made the trek to the bridge.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Begin Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Host XO_Ayidee says:
::On Bridge, checking final preparations to attempt to get back under way.::
EO_Valentine says:
::leans back, looking way up at the Replicator:: TO: All the way up there?
Host LtSmith says:
::runs up to the CO's chair to see the CO out cold::  XO:  What is wrong with him?
Host CO_Lyon says:
::lies on the floor, between waking and unconsciousness::
Host LtSmith says:
::bends over his knees trying to catch his breath::
CSO_Nash says:
:: At his console in the tunic of his uniform, looking at the readings from his console.::
Host XO_Ayidee says:
Smith: He's injured.  If we aren't careful, he won't be the only one.
OPS_Nash says:
::at OPS, standing near her clothes::
Host XO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Open a ship wide comm, let the crew know we are about to attempt to move the ship out of the anomaly.  Tell everyone to get clear of tight spaces and sit patiently.
TO_Mikan says:
EO: Yes. Jenniferrr and I can help you up. ::looks around and notices that Jennifer is no longer present::
Host LtSmith says:
::as he straightens up, he yells at the XO again::  XO:  Is there anything I can do to help? ::hoping there isn't::
EO_Valentine says:
TO: Oh...maybe she found something. You sure you can throw me all the way up there?
Host CO_Lyon says:
::stirs restlessly and mumbles:: All: Can someone put a sock in that person's mouth? I'm injured, not dead!
Host LtSmith says:
ACTION:  The Breen bumps the Cherokee again, sending the crew that are on their consoles flying!
Host XO_Ayidee says:
Smith: Can you fl...can you assist the Doctor?  There are more...Ooof!
TO_Mikan says:
EO: I will get you up therrre.
Host Pat says:
::Arrives on the Bridge, stumbling over the edge of the Jeffries Tube opening.::
CSO_Nash says:
:: Stumbles getting tripped up in his shirt.:: Self: I better get out of these and be prepared to grab them if this thing reverses.
Host LtSmith says:
::goes rolling across the floor unable to stop himself::
EO_Valentine says:
::walks up to the bulkhead and tries to climb up, but slides down to the carpet::
OPS_Nash says:
::goes flying, but lands safely on her uniform::
TO_Mikan says:
EO: Hang on a minute. ::takes a breath and lifts Mai up onto his shoulders::
Host Sparrow says:
::follows on Pat's heels, and falls on top of him/her/it when the ship rocks:: Pat: Sorry.
Host XO_Ayidee says:
Self: We need to get moving.  Bumper ships isn't going to help us.
EO_Valentine says:
::looks around from her perch on Ronik's shoulders:: TO: You won't hurt me?
Host Pat says:
Sparrow: Not a problem.  I'm well padded.
Host LtSmith says:
::sits up and realizes his elbows and knees are rug burned, and beginning to hurt::
Host Sparrow says:
Pat: I noticed. ::gets up and offers a helping hand::
TO_Mikan says:
EO: I won't drrrop you. Okay, now I am going to starrrt climbing. Hang on.
OPS_Nash says:
::starts to walk off the pile of clothes, but gets tangled up in the folds and falls on her face::
EO_Valentine says:
::wraps her arms around Ronik's neck, trying to not pull his mane::
Host Pat says:
::Gets up slowly.::
TO_Mikan says:
::begins to climb the bulkhead using the rivets for hand and foot holds::
OPS_Nash says:
::she stands up, feeling slightly embarrassed, hoping no one saw her do that tumble::
Host XO_Ayidee says:
Sparrow: Lieutenant, excellent.  We need someone to attempt to fly the ship to get us out of the anomaly.
EO_Valentine says:
TO: You okay Ronik? I'm not too heavy?
Host Sparrow says:
XO: I'll try sir. Does the computer recognize our voices now? ::glances at the enormous flight console::
OPS_Nash says:
::she looks up, wishing she brought a "rope" so she could climb up to her chair, so she can read what her console says::
TO_Mikan says:
EO: You are fine. ::continues up the wall::
CSO_Nash says:
:: Looks up at the sensor screen and sees a problem.:: XO: Sir that Breen ship is right on top of us. Literally on top of us.
Host XO_Ayidee says:
Sparrow: It does.  We'll be taking it really slow.  Program short bursts, thrusters until we clear the Breen, then Impulse.  3 second bursts, so if we get knocked out we don't continue on indefinitely.
EO_Valentine says:
::whistles a little happy song::
Host XO_Ayidee says:
CSO: I take it that is what we keep bumping into?
OPS_Nash says:
::she quickly turns and literally runs to gets a "rope", after grabbing one, she runs quickly back to OPS, she pauses a moment to catch her breath before trying to fling the "rope" upwards::
CSO_Nash says:
:: Begins looking at the sensors to make sure we clear the Breen and are heading for the closest exit point. XO: That is correct, Commander.
Host Sparrow says:
XO: Aye, sir. ::walks over to the flight console, and looks up::
TO_Mikan says:
::arrives just below the edge of the Replicator:: EO: Okay, can you rrreach the edge?
Host XO_Ayidee says:
CSO: I wonder if that's a blessing?  We could use the Tractor beam to push us away without risking thrusters.
EO_Valentine says:
::wiggles up to his shoulders and hops into to Replicator tray::
CSO_Nash says:
:: Configures his sensors for detailed readings of the Breen ship.:: XO: Sensors are showing about 120 Breen in the same state as we are in. Aye sir, tractors would be a good start.
OPS_Nash says:
::she flings the rope upward, hoping that it would catch on something::
Host LtSmith says:
ACTION:  Wonder of wonders, the rope that OPS throws connects and she now has a way to climb to her console.
Host XO_Ayidee says:
CSO: When Commander Worthington or Lieutenant Ronik gets back we'll look at the option.  I'd rather get "restored" before we pull them out after us.  Don't want to trust to their gratitude if they recover first.
Host Sparrow says:
::looks around:: Self: Rope, rope... ::spots a coil near the Captain's chair:: Rope! ::runs over to get it.::
CSO_Nash says:
XO: I concur Commander.
CSO_Nash says:
:: Climbs up the rope to his console proper.::
OPS_Nash says:
::by pure luck, the rope caught on something on the first try, she starts to climb upwards::
Host Sparrow says:
::grabs the rope and high-tails back to the flight console and looks up again::
EO_Valentine says:
::looks down:: TO: Okay, now what?
OPS_Nash says:
::she reaches the top of her chair, gathers the rope and throws the unattached end towards the console, hoping it would catch, making a rope bridge of some sort::
Host Sparrow says:
:: coils the rope and makes a loop, ready to try and throw it so he can get onto the console.::
TO_Mikan says:
::climbs up onto the Replicator next to the EO:: EO: Well, now we must get the rrreplicatorrr to give us food and waterrr.
Host Pat says:
::Notices two crew struggling with fatigue after carrying a third injured crewman to the Bridge.::  Smith: Give me a hand, this guy seems to have been knocked out, and we need to get him closer to the "Medical station".
EO_Valentine says:
::grins:: computer: Food and water please! ::scoots out of the way::
Host LtSmith says:
Pat:  I can't help, I have burned elbows and knees, I NEED help!
CSO_Nash says:
:: Climbs up the rope and reaches the console and walks up and retrieves the rope end that caught on the sensor viewer hood.::
OPS_Nash says:
::it seems like luck is on her side, the rope catches on something, so she makes the journey across to the console, being careful to not to look down in the process::
Host Pat says:
Smith: You can't be serious!  This guy is unconscious.  Give me a hand or you WILL need help.
Host LtSmith says:
::begins to blubber about being put upon::
Host CO_Lyon says:
::wakes up enough to see Andrew about to throw the rope:: Sparrow: Remember, Andrew, you throw like a girl... try and do it right.
Host LtSmith says:
::looks up at the Tellarite, almost cringing at the ugliness of him::  Pat:  And who do you think you are ordering me around?  I have you know I am the Captain's personal aide!
Host Sparrow says:
::glances over his shoulder:: CO: And you can't even jump off a chair without breaking your legs... so leave me be. ::turns his attention to the task at hand::
Host XO_Ayidee says:
::Moves to the center of the Bridge, doing his best to remain calm and patient.::
Host Pat says:
Smith: Then be an aide.  I'm only ordering you because you seem so clueless that someone has to.  ::Wonders what happened to Yeoman school of late if this is what they are turning out.::
OPS_Nash says:
::she reaches the console and carefully climbs onto it, then she starts to look at the readings.::
EO_Valentine says:
::sees it isn't going to work and looks over her to the keypad:: TO: Ronik, I need to get up there.
Host LtSmith says:
ACTION:  As OPS gets close to her board, her body signatures make the sensors come alive.
CSO_Nash says:
:: Scans the area seeing how short of a distance we need to travel to leave the anomaly.::
Host CO_Lyon says:
::chuckles at Andrew's response and looks around:: XO: Report, Commander. ::closes his eyes a moment to focus::
OPS_Nash says:
::as her console springs to "life", she is slightly startled, then goes to work.::
Host XO_Ayidee says:
CO: We're making preparations to attempt to move out of the area and see if it reverses the effect of the anomaly.  It's taking time to move into place, for obvious reasons, but we should be ready as soon as one of our supply teams returns to man Tactical.
TO_Mikan says:
EO: Okay, I will lift you up where you can stand on my shoulderrrs and you can rrreach the keypad.
Host Sparrow says:
::hears the heated screaming match at the back of the bridge:: Self: Well, at least I know I'm the REAL aide around here, not some charity case the Admiral made us take. ::mutters and twirls the rope over his head::
EO_Valentine says:
::nods:: TO: Okay
CSO_Nash says:
XO: As soon as we get away from the Breen ship, the nearest exit point is about 10,000 kilometers.
Host XO_Ayidee says:
CSO: Good, that shouldn't take long to get us clear.  Do we know how long we were knocked unconscious the last time?
Host CO_Lyon says:
XO: Very well. Keep me up to date, but do what you have to.
TO_Mikan says:
::gets on one knee and puts Mai on his shoulders then stands up:: EO: Okay, now stand on my hands and I will help you stand on my shoulderrrs.
Host Pat says:
::Moves to help the unconscious crewman over, not to gently pushing Smith out of the way.::  Smith: This is aiding, making sure your charge doesn't have to waste time with petty details and whiners.
Host Sparrow says:
::makes a cast, praying that the rope will catch::
CSO_Nash says:
:: Confers with his console for readings on what happened when we entered.:: XO: Computer extrapolates approximately 30 seconds.
EO_Valentine says:
::nods and carefully stands on his large tawny paws:: TO: O...okay.
Host XO_Ayidee says:
CSO: It seemed longer, but right now everything seems bigger.
TO_Mikan says:
::holds her steady:: EO: Can you rrreach the contrrrols?
Host LtSmith says:
@COM:  Unknown Ship:  This is the Breen, what have you done to us!
CSO_Nash says:
XO: Then there was the struggle getting out of our clothes. So it could have been decidedly longer.
EO_Valentine says:
::stretches, trying to reach the console:: TO: Almost...
TO_Mikan says:
EO: Okay, I will lift you up on my hands. Rrready?
Host XO_Ayidee says:
Self: Great.  COM: Breen Ship: This is Commander Ayidee of the USS Cherokee.  both of us have been trapped in some sort of anomaly.  We are working to get out of it, hoping that will return us to normal.  Are you able to move your vessel?
EO_Valentine says:
::whistles to Kandeldandel and points to the button to push. The white owl swoops down and attacks the button::
Host LtSmith says:
ACTION:  The owl hits the button and water begins to pour out of the Replicator without a glass, drenching the EO and TO.
OPS_Nash says:
::she sees the Breen ship and the nearest exit point readings, then she makes a ship wide com::   *Ship wide:*  Attention all crew, it is imperative that you remain in a open space.  The open space will be vital for when we all return to our normal statures.
Host Sparrow says:
::silently cheers as he feels the rope catch:: Self: Time to climb! ::begins pulling himself up to the chair, hand over hand, rope coiled around his leg to brace while climbing::
EO_Valentine says:
::coughs:: TO: Cold water!!!
TO_Mikan says:
::gurgles:: EO: MAI!!!! What arrre you doing?
EO_Valentine says:
TO: I didn't do it!!!
Host XO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Excellent work.  We're almost ready.  ::wondering what the ice men will do, help or hinder?::
CSO_Nash says:
:: Moves over working some buttons on the edge of his console preparing for exit from the anomaly.::
TO_Mikan says:
XO: WE HAVE WATERRR!!! ::roars as loudly as he can::
Host CO_Lyon says:
::hears the Breen, and Tio's response, watching Andrew climb up to the flight console::
Host LtSmith says:
@COM: Unknown Ship:  Answer immediately or be fired upon.
Host CO_Lyon says:
XO: They have weapons? Do we have shields up?
EO_Valentine says:
::holds onto the TO, trying to not get washed away:: TO: Ronik!!
Host XO_Ayidee says:
CO: Aye sir.
TO_Mikan says:
::keeping his balance as he is drenched with cold water:: EO: Hang in therrre Mai.
Host XO_Ayidee says:
COM: I did answer.  We are caught in the same effect you are.  If you have the ability to fire, then move your ship 10,000KM to your aft.
Host XO_Ayidee says:
TO: Good wor...work.  Wouldn't containers have helped?
Host Sparrow says:
::makes it onto the chair and looks towards the console:: Self: Next, the rope bridge.
CSO_Nash says:
:: Scans as the Breen have threatened.:: CO/XO: That is a bluff, they are in the same shape we are.
TO_Mikan says:
::growls at the XO's remark:: XO: Yes, I suppose it would.
EO_Valentine says:
::spits out water:: TO: Okay...this isn't fun anymore!!!
Host XO_Ayidee says:
::Nods to CSO.::  COM: Breen: Allow us to assist you.  As soon as we're clear, we'll pull you out.
TO_Mikan says:
::drops the EO down from his shoulders catching her in his arms:: EO: You okay?
Host LtSmith says:
@COM: Unknown Ship:  Help us?  It is you who have put us here, we have sent a message to our planet... there will be nothing left of you when they get here.
Host Sparrow says:
::pulls up the rope and makes a cast towards the console, aiming for the far edge so it will be stable to cross::
Host XO_Ayidee says:
TO: We may need you at Tactical soon.  If they have voice contact, control should be established soon enough.
EO_Valentine says:
::spits out water:: TO: I'm soggy
TO_Mikan says:
EO: Okay, let's trrry it again. Rrready?
EO_Valentine says:
::nods::
Host XO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Can you tell how much control they have over their ship?  Have they accessed Long Range communications?
TO_Mikan says:
XO: Affirrrmative. Be therrre as soon as we get the waterrr.
TO_Mikan says:
::helps Mai climb up on his shoulders again::
CSO_Nash says:
:: Scans for any recent comm activity. Gets readings that comm messages will not escape the anomaly. Looks at the XO.:: XO: :: Mouths.:: Untrue.
EO_Valentine says:
::reaches for the control panel again::
Host XO_Ayidee says:
CSO: Can you be certain?
OPS_Nash says:
*Ship wide:*  We entered an strange anomaly that caused all biomatter to shrink considerably, a Breen vessel is also caught in the same anomaly, I'm sure you all have felt the massive bumps to the ship, that was caused by the Breen vessel.  We are attempting to move the ship away from the anomaly....
Host LtSmith says:
ACTION:  This time Mai is successful, she programs a glass of water which appears and almost hits Ronik's paws.
Host Sparrow says:
::does a little happy dance and starts crossing over from the chair to the console::
CSO_Nash says:
XO: Absolutely positive from what sensors are showing. Heavy interference with subspace communications.
TO_Mikan says:
EO: Easy Mai.
OPS_Nash says:
*Ship wide*:  I will relay more details as I get them.
EO_Valentine says:
TO: Sorry
TO_Mikan says:
::helps Mai down:: EO: Now to get this down to the grrround.
EO_Valentine says:
::tries to climb up on Ronik's shoulders again:: TO: Wait, I want a drink!
OPS_Nash says:
XO:  To answer your question, Commander, no they haven't been able to notify anyone, and it appears that they seems to have basic control of their ship.
Host Sparrow says:
::steps onto the console:: Computer: Transfer helm control to voice input, restrict to myself and Commander Ayidee.
Host XO_Ayidee says:
CSO: Does that mean we can't see outside of the Anomaly?
TO_Mikan says:
::sighs:: EO: Hurrrrrry it up.
CSO_Nash says:
XO: For the moment, yes.
EO_Valentine says:
::reaches into the glass and gets handful after handful of water, slurping it down:: TO: Thanks Ronik
CSO_Nash says:
XO: Sensors should clear as we approach the perimeter.
TO_Mikan says:
EO: You arrre welcome. Okay, now let's get down frrrom herrre.
Host XO_Ayidee says:
CSO/ CO: So while we know they can't have called for help, we don't know if help arrived on it's own?
EO_Valentine says:
::nods:: TO: Okie dokie
CSO_Nash says:
XO: Agreed, that is an event we'll have to anticipate.
Host CO_Lyon says:
XO: The Breen will come running if a ship of theirs is late in reporting back?
Host LtSmith says:
ACTION:  The Breen ship again bumps the Cherokee, sending Mai flying out the Replicator, but Ronik grabs her and clutches the rope at the same time, getting them to the floor safely.
EO_Valentine says:
::yelps:: TO: Owww Ronik!!
Host LtSmith says:
ACTION:  The computer recognizes the helm command.
TO_Mikan says:
::rolls his shoulders to relieve the pain:: EO: Sorrrrrry.
Host XO_Ayidee says:
::Rolls on legs as ship rocks.::  CO: I don't know.  We know very little about the Breen, but I would think they would fear the ship's capture and they may move to prevent the loss of it's "secrets".
OPS_Nash says:
::she stumbles off the console, but fortunately she was able to grab the "rope bridge" from her chair to the console::
EO_Valentine says:
::rubs her backside:: TO: Why does it hurt?!
CSO_Nash says:
:: Grabs on to the buttons on his console trying to hold himself on the console and succeeds.::
Host Sparrow says:
::falls flat as the ship rocks again, so he won't fall off the console:: Computer: Display relative positions of the Cherokee and the Breen vessel on the main viewer. Plot a course away from their position, using thrusters only.
Host Computer says:
Sparrow:  Display follows, thrusters at your control.
OPS_Nash says:
::she carefully climbs back onto the console::
TO_Mikan says:
EO: I had to catch you quickly. All I could grrrab was yourrr tail. Sorrrrrry.
CSO_Nash says:
:: Pulls himself back up on the console balancing on his belly.::
EO_Valentine says:
::makes a face:: TO: My tail? I don't have a tail.
Host XO_Ayidee says:
Sparrow: Hold until we have Tactical manned.  We'll use the Tractor beam to keep them far enough away.
TO_Mikan says:
::shakes his head at Mai::
EO_Valentine says:
TO: You must of bumped your head harder then you thought.
Host Sparrow says:
Computer: Acknowledged. await my command. ::looks down and raises his voice:: XO: I hope its soon, sir.
TO_Mikan says:
::takes off running towards the tactical station::
Host XO_Ayidee says:
TO: Can you use the Tractor beam to push us off from the Breen vessel?
EO_Valentine says:
::looks around:: TO: Hey....where did everybody go? ::looks around for Kandeldandel::
Host Sparrow says:
Self: Now do we push through to the other side, or reverse our course to point of entry?
Host XO_Ayidee says:
Computer: Activate Red Alert, arm weapons.
Host LtSmith says:
ACTION:  The Cherokee goes to Red Alert and the weapons are armed and waiting.
TO_Mikan says:
::scrambles up the rope to his station:: XO: I'm on it. ::activates the tractor beam to push the Breen vessel away::
CSO_Nash says:
:: Prepares for exit angling his feet off to the side of his chair.::
Host Sparrow says:
XO: Ready when you are, sir.
Host XO_Ayidee says:
TO: Not that I need to tell you, but keep your eyes open.  We don't know if there are only two ships in the region.
TO_Mikan says:
::begins scanning for tactical targets::
Host XO_Ayidee says:
Sparrow: Engage.
Host LtSmith says:
