USS Cherokee 10502.27 Vice Versa Part 7

Host Adm-Alexander says:
The SO has discovered that the way to open the portal is with a tricorder.  An AT is about to try and rescue the CSO.  What awaits them on the other side?

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
@::Gets up from her biobed.::  CMO: Jovan, I have to get back to .. ::rubs her stomach a little as she feels the babies kicking.:: ..work.

CEO_Rome says:
::Looks over some blueprints on his tricorder.::

CO_Ayidee says:
::On surface, wondering if we can find a way to maintain communications through the portal.::  
*CMO*:  Doctor, what's the status on Counselor T'Lin?

OPS_Nash says:
@::On Bridge.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
@OPS:  Looks like it is just us girls!  Think we can handle it?  ::Grinning at her.::

CMO_Brabas says:
@::He is just finishing up forms and puts the PADD on the table in the office and takes a probe and walks to T'Lin.::  CNS:  I know, but I don’t like it so I will monitor you.

SO_Herremans says:
::Thinking about what they would do next.::

CMO_Brabas says:
@*CO*:  She is just being released from SB.

OPS_Nash says:
@ADM:  Well, there's one way to find out.

FCO-Orpax says:
@::Walks around the gateway, humming a tune and looking around at the other people there.::

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
@CMO:  I will wear a monitor, but I need to get back to work.

CEO_Rome says:
CO:  Sir, I think I have an idea for maintaining communications with the team that goes through the gateway.

XO_Worthington says:
::Stands by as they prepare to go "through the looking glass."::

CSO_Nash says:
#::Watching the machines work on constructing power pathways and on each other.::  Self:   Boy these little devils keep themselves busy and not any humanoid life present.  Interesting! They totally ignore me as of yet.  Except for when I got in the way.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
@*CO*:  Tio, we are monitoring you constantly.  Keep your com badges open.

CO_Ayidee says:
CEO:  Excellent, I'll be right there, just trying to recollect the rest of the team.

CMO_Brabas says:
@::He puts a little monitoring device on her tummy.::  CNS:  You may go.

CEO_Rome says:
::Nods at the Captain and continues his work on the tricorder.::

CO_Ayidee says:
*CMO*:  That's good to hear.  How about Lieutenant Hazzard?  We could use a few more hands down here.

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
@CMO:  Thanks Jovan.  I will be careful.  ::Gives him a hug.::

CMO_Brabas says:
@CNS:  But remember, do not run and take on hard physical work or I will put you to SB.

CMO_Brabas says:
@::Smiles.::

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
@CMO:  Can I see Mark before I go quickly?  Is he sleeping?

SO_Herremans says:
::Walks around the construct looking at what it was made of.::

CMO_Brabas says:
@*CO*:  Sorry sir, but he will not stay in SB for some time yet.

FCO-Orpax says:
@::Saunters over to the SO.::  SO:  So Mr. Herremans, what do you make of the situation?

CSO_Nash says:
#::Continues to record these machines actions into the tricorder and walks on down the pathway ahead.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  After the CSO passes, all traces of his existence are erased by the capable machines.

CMO_Brabas says:
@::He walks T'Lin to the doors of Sick Bay.::

XO_Worthington says:
CO:  Sir, I really wish that you would stay out of harm's way.

SO_Herremans says:
::Looks with suspicion to the Ferengi.::  FCO:  Well seems like the energy from the tricorder triggered the Construct.

CMO_Brabas says:
@CNS:  Only from a distance.

CO_Ayidee says:
*CMO*:  Understood, and of course I trust your judgment.  But to be on the safe side, perhaps it would be best to keep you with us in case we need further medical attention.  
*CNS/CMO*:  I'd like the two of you to prepare and beam down to join the rest of us.

FCO-Orpax says:
@::Rolls his eyes slightly.::  SO:  Well, yeah, but I mean what do you make of the situation? Who would put a thing like this here... how much do you think it would be worth... Hypothetically speaking of course!

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
@*CO*:  Understood, Captain.  I'm heading to the transporter room as we speak.  ::Looks around the corner to where Mark is sleeping and then turns to the CMO.::  
@CMO: Looks like you get to come with me.

CO_Ayidee says:
XO:  Trust me.  I'll stay on this side until it's deemed safe on the other side.

CSO_Nash says:
#::Continues on with his tricorder scanning for our engine output signature.::

CMO_Brabas says:
@CNS:  He has a medical condition, and I wouldn't recommend contact with him.
@*CO*:  Understood.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
@OPS:  I want you to prepare a probe, set the coordinates for the wormhole.  Have the engineers re-rig it for some kind of propulsion other than something that uses subspace.   I will take over here.  Deliver my message to them personally please.

CMO_Brabas says:
@CNS:  Yeah, it seems.

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
@CMO:  I understand.  Shall we go then?  ::Heads out of sickbay to the transporter room with the CMO.::

SO_Herremans says:
FCO:  Maybe some ancient civilization placed it here as a gateway to where they live and about how much it's worth to me priceless.

CMO_Brabas says:
@::He grabs a Med kit and follows CNS.::

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
@::Enters the transporter room and steps on the transporter pad with the CMO.::

CO_Ayidee says:
CEO:  Sorry Ensign, now what was your idea?

FCO-Orpax says:
SO:  Ancient civilization... gateway... that all sounds a little fantastic to me.  Personally, … ::Walks over to the gateway, putting his tricorder in his pocket.:: I think that something like this could be sold for millions of latinum bars to the scientific community.

CEO_Rome says:
::Walks over to the Captain.::  CO:  I presume we are working on the presumption that Mr. Nash is still alive?

CMO_Brabas says:
@::As he steps on the transporter pad he takes a deep breath and looks at CNS and smiles.::  @CNS:  Here we go.

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
@Transporter Room Chief:  Energize.

XO_Worthington says:
FCO:  Never underestimate the unknown. The possibilities are endless.

SO_Herremans says:
FCO:  I don't think it would be worth a penny if you move it off this planet.

CSO_Nash says:
#::As he walks by a complex machinery area he notices something.::  Self:  This looks like an old lithium cracking station.  Last one of these I heard about was on Delta Vega 2.  ::Scans it into the tricorder.::

CO_Ayidee says:
CEO:  That's the assumption we're going with here, until we find something to prove otherwise.

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
::Rematerializes on the planet below.  Heads over to the CO.::  CO:  What do we have so far?

CO_Ayidee says:
CNS:  So far Commander Nash has somehow passed through the gateway to... to whatever's on the other side.  We've found a way to follow, but want to ensure we can maintain contact with this side.

CEO_Rome says:
CO:  Good, then we are assuming that the gateway will not harm matter.  My plan is to replicate a portable communication transceiver and a receiver.  We connect those two with a data transfer cable and place one on either side.  That should transmit the comm signal through the gateway..in theory.

CMO_Brabas says:
::As he appears on planet he begins to look around and walks over with CNS to the CO.::

FCO-Orpax says:
::Turns around and raises an eyebrow.::  SO:  I feel the same way.  ::Walks toward the SO.:: But, if we guarded the knowledge of the location, the coordinates alone could be worth... millions.
XO:  You never know.  I suppose Mr. Worthington.

OPS_Nash says:
@ADM:  Acknowledged.  ::Gets up and heads for Engineering.::

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
CO:  What would you like me to do, Sir?

CO_Ayidee says:
CEO:  A solid plan, contact the ship for whatever you need.

SO_Herremans says:
FCO:  Such findings should be open to every scientist.

CEO_Rome says:
CO: Thank you, Sir.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
@::Takes a seat in the center chair, rubbing the arms.  Remembers when the center seat used to be hers.::

CEO_Rome says:
*Engineering*:  Mr. Rush, are you there?

FCO-Orpax says:
SO:  I agree wholeheartedly.  They should be open to every scientist for a price of 200,000 bars of latinum apiece.

EO_Rush says: 
@*CEO*:  Yes, Sir.  What can I do for you.

SO_Herremans says:
FCO:  Why you, you .. Ferengi. 

SO_Herremans says:
::Looks mad at the FCO.::

CO_Ayidee says:
CNS:  When we send a team through, I need each side to be fully prepared for any difficulties.  Until then I want you and Doctor Brabas to try and find any signs of life around the construct.  Even if the builders are gone, someone else must have visited this place.

OPS_Nash says:
@::Steps of the TL and enters Engineering.::  Anyone in ME:  I have new instructions that needed to be delivered face to face.

FCO-Orpax says:
SO:  What can I say.  ::Grins widely at the SO.::  SO:  Parts of the scientific community have a fat wallet, let them spread the wealth, in a manner of speaking.

CEO_Rome says:
*Engineering*:  I need you to replicate two portable communication transceiver and receiver units and a data transfer cable, approximately 15 meters long and beam them to my location.

XO_Worthington says:
::Waits impatiently.::  CO:  Ready to go whenever you are to send me, Captain.

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
CO:  Aye.  ::Looks around.::  Is there any places you have covered already?  Where would you like us to start?

SO_Herremans says:
FCO:  How can you say that?  Don't you care about advancement?

CMO_Brabas says:
::He takes out his tricorder and begins to scan for microorganisms and bacteria.::
CO:  Understood.

CO_Ayidee says:
CNS:  So far just the immediate area.
XO:  I'd rather wait until we have some means to at least attempt communications.  Ensign Rome is working on one now.

EO_Rush says:
@*CEO*:  Yes, Sir, I'll beam them to you as soon as they are ready. 

FCO-Orpax says:
SO:  Now when did I ever say that? I believe wholeheartedly in advancement.  A culture's desire for advancement can be very profitable.

XO_Worthington says:
CO:  Aye, I am just letting you know I am ready.

SO_Herremans says:
FCO:  You say you want to spread the wealth.  In my opinion you would rather put it in your wallet.

EO Slow says:
@OPS:  Yeah, what do ya want girlie?  ::Then sees the pips on her collar.::

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
Self:  XO hasn't changed.  Still impatient, just like Hazzard.  Must be in their blood.

CMO_Brabas says:
CNS:  Well I will begin with residuals of... everything.

FCO-Orpax says:
SO:  That would be the general idea Mr. Herremans.  ::smiles.::

SO_Herremans says:
::Wants to say something to the FCO but holds back thinking it's not worth the effort.::

EO_Rush says:
@*CEO*:  Sir, beaming objects down now.

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
CMO:  I'll start over there.  ::Walks away from the away team headed off in her own little direction, pulling a tricorder from her belt.::

CMO_Brabas says:
::He inputs a new sequence of scanning into his tricorder for any DNA.::  CNS:  I will be in two meters of you.

FCO-Orpax says:
::Pulls a PADD out of his back pocket and makes some notes, walking around the structure, examining it closely, looking for any cosmetic flaws.::

CEO_Rome says:
::Walks over to the material.::

CMO_Brabas says:
CNS:  I will not leave you out of my sight.

EO Slow says:
@OPS:  Well girlie?  Cat got your tongue?

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
CMO:  It's okay, Jovan. I need the fresh air.  I will be careful.  ::Winks at him assuring him she will be okay.::

CSO_Nash says:
#::Moves on as he records the cracking station into the tricorder.::  Self:  I wonder what other goodies I can find here?

OPS_Nash says:
@EO Slow:  Orders from Admiral Alexander.  She wants a probe sent to the coordinates to the wormhole.  Plus, she wants to see if a new propulsion configuration besides the standard subspace method can be worked out.

CEO_Rome says:
::Starts connecting the data transfer cable to the portable comm units.::

CMO_Brabas says:
CNS:  I don’t want to be in a position of losing life, for Mark can be nasty sometimes.  ::Smiles.::

EO Slow says:
@OPS:  And what do you suggest?  Hot air?  ::Smirking at her.::

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
::Smiles at the CMO.::  CMO:  What could *possibly* go wrong?  We're in the middle of .. nowhere.  Nothing will happen.

CEO_Rome says:
CO:  Sir, I have the devices ready for testing.  Preparing to send comm signals through the cable now.

OPS_Nash says:
@EO Slow:  I am just the messenger, I was hoping for your expertise in that matter.  ::Glares at the EO.::

CO_Ayidee says:
CEO:  Very good, once it's tested, we'll try sending a team through.

CEO_Rome says:
CO:  Yes, Sir.

SO_Herremans says:
CO:  Captain is their something you want me to do?

XO_Worthington says:
::Paces around waiting for the CEO to finish.::

CO_Ayidee says:
XO:  It's almost time.  Who would you like to take with you?

CEO_Rome says:
SO:  Mr. Herremans, would you lend me a hand?

SO_Herremans says:
CEO:  Yes, Sir.  ::Walks over to the CEO.::

CO_Ayidee says:
SO:  Yes, give Ensign Rome a hand, excellent.

EO Slow says:
@OPS:  Well, give me a few to think about it.  Now run on back to the bridge like a good little girl, and I will let you know what I can come up with.

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
::Begins to scan her surroundings with her tricorder, recording all the data in her tricorder. Overhears the CO, and thinks to herself.::  Self:  Oh, pick me, please.

XO_Worthington says:
CO:  Volunteers only.  I will let them decide.

FCO-Orpax says:
::Puts the PADD back into his pocket and walks over to the Chief Engineer.::  CEO:  Looks good Mr. Rome!  ::Cleans beneath his nails with a file he pulls out of his back pocket.::

CMO_Brabas says:
::He begins to search for traces of bone structures of life beings.::

CO_Ayidee says:
::Smirks.::  XO:  I suppose saying "I volunteer" would not go well?

CEO_Rome says:
SO:  If you would grab one of the comm units and walk in the opposite direction to me, the cable is 15 meters long. 

XO_Worthington says:
CO:  No, Sir.

CEO_Rome says:
FCO: Thank you Mr. Orpax, I just hope it works.

CO_Ayidee says:
XO:  Good answer.  Besides, someone has to keep their eyes on this end.

OPS_Nash says:
@EO Slow:  Until I hear from the Admiral, I am staying put.  I am here to assist in a minor capacity.  Please proceed.

SO_Herremans says:
CEO;  Ok, I'll do that. ::Picks up a comm unit and walks 15 meters in the opposite direction.::

CO_Ayidee says:
All:  We need volunteers to pass through the gateway.  Anyone interested in walking through?

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
::Walks over to the CO/XO.::  CO/XO:  I know you guys think I am sick, but I will go.

EO Slow says:
@::Glares but goes about his work, trying to ignore her.::

CEO_Rome says:
SO:  Are you ready?

CMO_Brabas says:
::He hears T'lin and walks toward all the fuss.::

SO_Herremans says:
CEO:  As ready as I'll ever be.

CMO_Brabas says:
CO/XO/CNS:  What is going on?

FCO-Orpax says:
CO:  I'd love to, Captain.  Perhaps there's some tourism opportunities at the other end that could make the Cherokee some latinum!::

CEO_Rome says:
SO:  Good, now I will send a comm signal through the cable from my end.  Watch the monitor on the comm unit and tell me the signal strength.

SO_Herremans says:
CEO:  Okay

CEO_Rome says:
::Punches in a few digits on the unit and sends a series of binary codes through.::

SO_Herremans says:
::Watches the monitor.::

CO_Ayidee says:
CMO:  Commander Nash passed through this gateway, and we're attempting to follow him through.

OPS_Nash says:
@::Leans and looks over the shoulder of EO Slow.::

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
CMO:  Nothing.  Just .. looking to do some medical research.

CMO_Brabas says:
CO:  Okay, and who is going in?

SO_Herremans says:
CEO:  Signal strength is 100%.

EO Slow says:
@OPS:  Hey watch it girlie, you may get something caught and that might hurt!  ::Smirks.::

CEO_Rome says:
::Smiles at the SO.::  SO:  Now I will try to send through a vocal message.

CSO_Nash says:
#::Continues on finding other sorts of power creating and generating facilities on his walk.  As they progress in the timeline the machines around them become more and more sophisticated.::

SO_Herremans says:
CEO:  Okay, do that.

CEO_Rome says:
::Talks into the comm unit.::  Unit:  Test, 1, 2, 3.

CO_Ayidee says:
CMO:  Looking for volunteers.  So far it's Commander Worthington, Lieutenant T'Lin, and Ensign Orpax.

CMO_Brabas says:
CO:  I could go.

CO_Ayidee says:
XO:  Is that a sufficient team?  Four members?

XO_Worthington says:
CO:  That should be enough.

CMO_Brabas says:
::Smiles.::

OPS_Nash says:
@EO Slow:  You don't know me and my abilities.  As for getting hurt, I have seen my fair share of pain and suffering.

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
::Waits patiently as she wonders what's on the other side.::

SO_Herremans says:
CEO:  That sounds clear to me.  Signal is 100%.

EO Slow says:
@::Just grunts and tries to ignore her.::

CEO_Rome says:
::Gives the SO a thumbs up.::  SO:  Great, thank you.

CEO_Rome says:
CO:  Sir, the comm link is stable. 

FCO-Orpax says:
::Finishes cleaning beneath his nails and puts the file back in his pocket.::  Self:  Nice work, Quol, beautiful cuticles as always.

SO_Herremans says:
CEO:  You're welcome.  If I can do anything else for you just ask.

CO_Ayidee says:
CEO:  Good work, the teams about ready to pass through.

OPS_Nash says:
@::Watching him do some things on a console.::  EO Slow:  Now what are .. you computing there?

CEO_Rome says:
CO:  The team that goes through with the comm unit will have to reset their comm badge signal to the same frequency as the unit is using.

XO_Worthington says:
CNS:  Are you sure you are up for this?

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
XO:  I am sure, Commander.  I will be fine.  Thanks for asking though.  I am just more curious what is on the other side.

EO Slow says:
@::Turns his shoulder so OPS can't see what he is doing.::

CSO_Nash says:
#::As he approaches the complex of more advanced machinery, he notices that the little machines that he noticed at the beginning are busy doing something and following in his path.::

CO_Ayidee says:
CEO:  Of course, that's simple enough to do.  We'll reset ours as well so we match.

CEO_Rome says:
CO:  I wouldn't recommend that, Sir.  We will lose contact with the ship.

CMO_Brabas says:
::He takes his tricorder and makes a connection with the probe on the CNS.::
CNS:  T'Lin, here.  Take this.::  He pulls out a hypo from Med kit.::  For just in case.

SO_Herremans says:
CO:  Sir, I suggest I scan the AT maybe I will pick something up when they go through.

CEO_Rome says:
CO:  The comm unit on our side has a speaker.

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
CMO:  Thanks Jovan.  I will only use it if necessary.  ::Places it in the med-kit she has attached to her and gives him a big smile.::

OPS_Nash says:
@::Walks around to the other side and continues to observe.::  EO Slow:  So have you made any progress yet?

CO_Ayidee says:
SO:  Good idea, but keep back when you do.  Don't forget that the scanners seem to activate it.

SO_Herremans says:
CO:  Yes, Sir.  I'll keep that in mind.

CMO_Brabas says:
::He takes continuing scans of the environment around the entrance.::

EO Slow says:
@::Moves around to get in her way again, and ignores her question.::

CSO_Nash says:
#Self:  I wonder what the devil those little ones are doing?  :: Moves back to see what they are doing.::

SO_Herremans says:
::Takes his tricorder and adjusts the settings to maximum strength and range.::

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
XO:  So are we going through?
Self:  Now I am being impatient.

OPS_Nash says:
@::Moves to observe again in hopes of her question being answered.::

XO_Worthington says:
CMO/CNS/FCO:  Ready?

FCO-Orpax says:
XO:  I Am.

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
XO:  I am ready, Commander.  Just give the word.

EO Slow says:
@::Wonders if this woman ever shuts up.::  OPS:  Geez woman!  Don't you know when to shut up?  A man can't think with you around!

SO_Herremans says:
XO:  I'm ready to commence scan.

CEO_Rome says:
XO:  Sir, when you get through, I recommend sending us a binary code through first.  Take it one step at a time.

CO_Ayidee says:
XO/CMO/CNS/FCO:  Good luck, and contact us from the other side.  Once it's clear, we'll prepare the next step.
Everyone Else:  Step back while they pass through.

FCO-Orpax says:
XO/CMO/CNS:  Shall we link hands? ;:Grins.::

SO_Herremans says:
::Starts scanning the AT and the construct for any anomalies.::

OPS_Nash says:
@EO Slow:  That is not what my husband says.  You might know him, Commander Nash.

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
CO:  Don't forget about us.  Don't leave us there.  ::Grabs the FCO and CMO's hand.::
XO:  You want ladies to go first?  ::Grinning.::

CMO_Brabas says:
::He looks at the sky and waits for others to come.::  FCO:  Are you a little scared?

CEO_Rome says:
::Takes a seat on the ground next to the comm unit.::

EO Slow says:
@OPS:  Never had the pleasure... ::Another woman that likes to wear her man's pips.::

XO_Worthington says:
CNS/FCO/CMO:  Follow me.  ::Makes his way to the portal and slowly steps through.::

FCO-Orpax says:
CMO:  It is more a nostalgic people chain than a phobic one, Mr. Barbas.

CMO_Brabas says:
XO/CNS/FCO:  Let us go.

FCO-Orpax says:
::Steps through the portal.::

CMO_Brabas says:
FCO: And please, Doctor will be better or Jovan at his best.

CO_Ayidee says:
CNS:  And face the wrath of Lieutenant Hazzard?  Not likely.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  The AT appear on the other side of the portal.  They can see the others, but the others cannot see them.

XO_Worthington says:
CNS/FCO/SO:  Is everyone all right?

CEO_Rome says:
Self:  Oh boy..I hope this works.

CMO_Brabas says:
XO:  Yes, good.

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
::Looks around on the other side.::  XO:  I'm fine, Sir.  ::Pulls out her tricorder.::  Are we resetting our comm badge frequencies?

CMO_Brabas says:
::He takes out his tricorder and begins to scan AT.::

CMO_Brabas says:
XO:  Every one looks the same to me.

OPS_Nash says:
@EO Slow:  I'm sure you may know him if you have seen him.   Oh by the way, is the probe finished yet?

SO_Herremans says:
CO:  I got no strange reading.  Only energy readings like those of the ship.

CMO_Brabas says:
::He walks to the opening and waves to other side AT.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  Little machines pass by the AT, ignoring them completely.

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
#::Sees the Captain.::  Self:  I don't understand.  What the ..?  What was that?

CO_Ayidee says:
SO:  So that means either there is no energy output, or it's of a form we don't recognize.

FCO-Orpax says:
#::Takes out his tricorder.::  All:  Let’s see if anything interesting goes on in here.  Whoa, look at that thing!

CEO_Rome says:
::Hopes the cable is stable between the comm units on each side.::

XO_Worthington says:
#FCO:  What do you make of that?  ::Sees the machine go by.::

CMO_Brabas says:
#All:  They do not see us.

CSO_Nash says:
#::Sees that any traces of his passing have been erased.::  Self:  So that's what they're doing.

CO_Ayidee says:
CEO:  Can we try sending a signal through the line?

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
#::Runs a scan on the little machines running past them.::

CEO_Rome says:
CO:  Yes, Sir.  I'm just giving them some time to get ready.

CMO_Brabas says:
#::As a machine pass by he looks surprised but takes a scan of it.::

SO_Herremans says:
CO:  I was thinking the same, Sir.

FCO-Orpax says:
#XO:  Well I think that I might be able to make a few bars for it, but what do I think of it?  I'm a flyboy, what do I know about robots?  ::Smiles.::

CEO_Rome says:
CO:  I will start by sending a binary code, and hope to get a response from their comm unit.

EO Slow says:
@OPS:  Look little lady.  I am trying to use deuterium as a propulsion for the probe, now do you know anymore than you did?

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
#::Reaches down to touch one of the little machines.::

FCO-Orpax says:
#::Quickly tries to grab one of the machines.::

CO_Ayidee says:
CEO:  Good, I'd like to know if they can contact Commander Nash or not.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  The machine scoots out of the way of the CNS's hand.

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
#All:  Fast little critters.

CMO_Brabas says:
#::He scans for any trace of radio waves activity close to those little things.::

CEO_Rome says:
::Starts punching in a binary code into the comm unit and watches the cable end at the gateway.::  Self:  I hope the cable is okay.

XO_Worthington says:
#CNS:  Let's try to find Commander Nash.  ::Out loud.::  CSO:  Commander!

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
#XO:  Aye.  Should we split up or are we staying together?

CEO_Rome says:
::Sends the binary code through the cable to the other side.::

SO_Herremans says:
CEO:  It looks intact to me.

CSO_Nash says:
#::Continues on.::  Self:  Well it seems that my followers want to keep me hidden.

CEO_Rome says:
CO:  Sending binary code now.

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
::Calls out.::  CSO:  Commander Nash?  Can you hear us?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  As the AT yell for the CSO, a little machine comes by and quickly snips the cable line.  No communication is being fed back to the Captain.

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
#Self:  Why that little ... ::Goes to kick it with her shoe.::

XO_Worthington says:
#CMO/FCO/CNS: We will stay together for now.  ::Sees the robot.::

CMO_Brabas says:
#::He remembers that all of us are hot-blooded creatures.::

CEO_Rome says:
::Sees the error message appear on the comm unit.::  CO:  Sir, the link was stable, but suddenly the link was cut off.

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
#XO:  Well that cannot be good.  Do you think we can reconnect the wires?

FCO-Orpax says:
#::Walks up to the XO.::  XO:  Sir, these could make us a fortune if we took some back!  And if people wanted more, they would pay a lot for the location!  I encourage you to look beyond the prime directive and towards profit, Sir!  ::Steps back and looks in wonderment at the machines.::

CMO_Brabas says:
#::He begins to scan for life signs and patterns of human bio.::

OPS_Nash says:
@EO Slow:  Thank you for the information.  That was all I needed to know.  For the record, I am familiar with what you are using.  After all, I am the one on the bridge who allocates power during tense situations.

CO_Ayidee says:
CEO:  Cut off?  How could that happen?  ODN cable doesn't just snap on it's own.

SO_Herremans says:
::Is surprised to hear that the signal was lost.::

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
#FCO:  If you could catch them.  ::Tries again to grab one of the passing machines.::

XO_Worthington says:
#ALL: Let's get this fixed.  Grab the end.  I will see if I can use phaser to solder the wire.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  The machines are too fast to be caught by humans.

CEO_Rome says:
CO:  Sir, I don't have any theories as to how .. the cable was stable for a minute after they stepped through .. then suddenly it was not.

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
#::Holds the end of the cable for the XO.::

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
#::Thinks to self, hopefully that little machine didn't find the wire appetizing and eat the wire.::

FCO-Orpax says:
#::Tries to help with the cable as best he can.::

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
#::While holding the cable, she continues to look around and call out for the CSO.::  CSO:  Commander.  Are you here?

XO_Worthington says:
#CNS:  Hold it steady.  ::Fires a very focused beam, low intensity, on the wire.::

CMO_Brabas says:
#::He walks a little bit away of AT like 10-15m and gets a scan of AT.::

FCO-Orpax says:
#::Tries to kick one of the robots over and grab it as it moves by.::

SO_Herremans says:
::What is the other side like?::

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
#::Holds the wire steady as the XO tries to fuse the cable back together.::  CMO:  Jovan, see if you can use your comm badge to contact Commander Nash.

CSO_Nash says:
#::Continues on seeing another complex of machines and buildings. These however look like they are creating arrays for something.::

CMO_Brabas says:
#CNS: That is a good Idea.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  Unknown to the XO, any energy used is magnified 10 times.  The cable almost explodes with heat.

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
#::Drops the cable.::  Self:  Ouch!

FCO-Orpax says:
#Self:  I wonder... would it be wise to shoot one of the robots?

CEO_Rome says:
CO:  Sir, my comm unit just registered an energy surge, but the link is still cut off.

XO_Worthington says:
#ALL:  Hmm, the phaser was at an extremely low setting.  Somehow it was amplified.

FCO-Orpax says:
#::Eyes the phaser at his belt.::

CMO_Brabas says:
#*CSO*:  Doctor to Commander Nash please come in.

CSO_Nash says:
# Self:  Interesting.  ::Moves up and sees instead of arrays, something more akin to satellites.::

CO_Ayidee says:
CEO:  Either they are trying to fix things on the other side, or it's part of what caused the problem.

SO_Herremans says:
CEO:  Could they be in a firefight?

CEO_Rome says:
CO:  My thoughts exactly.

FCO-Orpax says:
::Whispers.::  CNS:  Should we try and stun one?  Think of the profit!

CEO_Rome says:
SO:  It's a possibility, we can't know at this time.

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
#XO:  Is there a lower phaser setting we could try?
FCO:  I was thinking of just that.  ::Smiles.::  Oh, but not for the profit.  Just to see what makes it tick.

FCO-Orpax says:
#::Whispers.::  CNS:  Same means, different end.  What'd you think, we can split 60-40 to the shooter.  I shoot.

CMO_Brabas says:
#XO:  There is no response from Commander Nash and the tricorder is all most useless.

XO_Worthington says:
#CNS:  Just one more.  Let's try this with the ends touching on the ground.  Please step back. ::Fires again.::

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
#::Steps back away from the phaser and XO.::  
#FCO:  If you can catch one, I'm sure they won't mind if you take it with you.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  A large machine looms into view.  It rolls up to where the cable is, pushing the AT members out of the way.  It picks up the cable and disposes of it.  It then turns and leaves.

CMO_Brabas says:
#All: That was not nice.

FCO-Orpax says:
Machine:  You Shlikta!  ::Takes out his phaser and sets it to stun, pointing it at the large machine.   Eyes the CNS nervously.::

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
#All:  Um .. that thing just ate our cable.

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
#FCO:  Probably not a good idea.  You might make them mad.

FCO-Orpax says:
#CNS:  Sure, change your mind at the last minute!

CEO_Rome says:
::Watches as the cable forcefully disconnects from his comm unit and goes through the gateway.::

CMO_Brabas says:
#All:  I hope they do not get any idea that they could use biomaterials for disposal.

SO_Herremans says:
::Sees the cable disconnecting.::  Self:  What the .. what's that all about.

FCO-Orpax says:
#::Angrily stuffs his phaser into its holster.::

CO_Ayidee says:
CEO:  That wasn't expected.

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
#::Giggles at the FCO's response.::  FCO:  If you shoot it, just make sure I'm not around.

CEO_Rome says:
::Takes a deep breath.::

XO_Worthington says:
#ALL:  I wonder what would happen if I destroyed the robot.

CEO_Rome says:
CO:  I don't believe it.

SO_Herremans says:
ALL:  This isn't a good sign.

CNS_Lt_T`Lin says:
#XO:  Commander, recommend having a look around before we start firing at things.

CMO_Brabas says:
#XO:  Let’s first try to find Nash.

OPS_Nash says:
@::After watching EO Slow, she steps up.::  EO Slow:  How are you doing?  Any plausible progress?

CSO_Nash says:
# ::Strolls up and takes a look at just how complex the satellites are.::

CEO_Rome says:
::Stands up and starts pacing, thinking of a new way to establish communications.::

FCO-Orpax says:
#XO:  I think that it would be a very good Idea!  ::Shoots a glance at the CNS.  He has a new business partner.::

XO_Worthington says:
#ALL:  Let's go find Commander Nash.

EO Slow says:
@OPS:  If you ask me one more time, I am going to let you finish this job... admiral or no admiral!

CO_Ayidee says:
All:  So much for plan A.  Any ideas of how to pass word through without a physical component?

CMO_Brabas says:
#XO:  Now we are talking.

CEO_Rome says:
CO:  I'm juggling some ideas around.

CMO_Brabas says:
#::Continues with Bio scans of Commander Nash.::

SO_Herremans says:
CO:  Sir, if matter can pass through the gateway when it's scanned, wouldn't energy pass through in a similar way?

OPS_Nash says:
@EO Slow:  Pardon me for asking, this is important.  I need this done for many reasons you need not know at this time.

CEO_Rome says:
SO:  Every attempt at sending through a comm signal has failed so far, using normal methods that is.
