Host CO_Worthington says:
USS Cherokee Stardate 10804.13 We have made our way back into the past but yet again things are out of order. It appears we may have either affected the timeline again or the Borg tech is not working correctly. I have called a Senior Staff meeting so we can go over our options.

Host SM-Trish says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Begin Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

ACTION:  It has been discovered by engineering that our focusing efforts with the Borg technology was not precise enough.  Now the question is, how does the Cherokee get home without wandering into another "Universe"?

Host CO_Worthington says:
::sitting in the OL with the rest of the crew:: ALL: Ok, how do we get home?  Suggestions?

CIV_Ayidee says:
::In Observation Lounge, reviewing the report on the Chronoton emitter focus, trying to find a way around it.::

CNS_Wells says:
::In the Observation lounge, after being called into a crew meeting by Captain Worthington.::

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::sitting in the Observation Lounge.::

CMO_Ens_Downer says:
::sitting in the Observation Lounge, examining the body language of his new shipmates::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::In the Observation Room and listening to the Commander.: CO: Not by foot, but that is pretty clear. I think it is best to analyze where things go wrong then try again.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::Sitting in the Observation Lounge::  CO: Honestly I thought we were on the right track with Tio's idea of using the Borg tech as a navigational tool, I think we still are, we just need to refine it, be able to focus it more precisely.

CIV_Ayidee says:
CO: He's got a point, Scientific method is tried and true.

CNS_Wells says:
All: Did we somehow change the timeline?

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::her gaze drifts as she stares out the window, wondering if they will ever get home.::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
CEO: Do we understand how it works? Because it seems to drill alternative universes as well?

Host CO_Worthington says:
ALL: How do we make sure the Borg tech is sending us in the right direction?

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
CO: Do we have logs? Can we analyze them? Find out, at what point, what happens and why?

CIV_Ayidee says:
CNS: Sensors are still being rebooted, so we can't do a quantum spin check, but I'm guessing it's another reality.  Sensors should be back up very soon.

CMO_Ens_Downer says:
::Raises his eyebrows when Borg tech is mentioned::

CNS_Wells says:
CIV: Another reality? That's better than a change in the time line, right?

CIV_Ayidee says:
CNS: Easier to fix at least.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Looks over his shoulder to see the reaction of the Doctor next to him, as he hears the word, Borg technology.::

CIV_Ayidee says:
CNS: Plus, if it was an altered time line, we came to the point we left, almost exactly.  Not enough time to alter the quadrant like that.

CNS_Wells says:
CIV: Well, there's a bright note.  

Host CO_Worthington says:
CEO/CIV: So what can we do to improve our accuracy?

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
FCO: It appears the quantum jumps have been caused by an incompatibility in the energies emitted by the anomaly and the chronoton device.

CIV_Ayidee says:
CEO: System isn't designed to focus like that, right?  Can we alter it enough using what we have available?  Starbase could do it easy, but doesn't sound too easy to find it.

CMO_Ens_Downer says:
::Looks at the FCO with an inquisitive look:: FCO:  What have been using to interface with the Borg device?

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
CMO: Yes doc. More or the less. We used it to open the time rift. We hoped to get home in that way.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
CO: I believe if we can alter the frequency of the emissions from the chronoton device, as well as using the deflector controls to focus those energies more precisely, then we should be able to relocate with more accuracy.  It's just that as this is all new, we haven't had enough data to do so, plus with the fluctuations within the anomaly...

Host CO_Worthington says:
CEO: I don't want us continually hopping around in the dark, how much time do you need?

CIV_Ayidee says:
CEO: Could we use a different system to focus?  Phaser emitters are far more precise than the shield emitter.  Could they be used?

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
CIV: Do we have enough data from our trips through the rift to determine if there is a pattern to the fluctuations within the anomaly?

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
CEO/CIV: Do you think that the wave I rode on in the rift had something to do with it? Because I had much trouble in the beginning, but now that I understand them, I have found out, that the wave was sent at several frequencies.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
CIV: I believe that could work, we could also program the Phaser emitters to cycle to match the anomaly fluctuations.

CIV_Ayidee says:
CEO: I think so.  Took a look at them, but not for those kinds of details.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
FCO: I think the waves you are referring to, are caused by the fluctuations I am talking about.

CNS_Wells says:
::Listening intently, anticipating a brilliant solution to our quandary anytime now::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Puts lips to a point.:: CEO: Perhaps I can look into the frequencies and then you can check if they resemble what you expected them to be?

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
CO: Honestly, if we can determine a regular pattern then it should be fairly quick, a few hours.  If the fluctuations are random, we would have to calibrate sensors to determine the fluctuations and feed the information to the device to automatically alter the emitted frequencies to match.

CMO_Ens_Downer says:
::Clearly unnerved, takes a careful sip of his coffee, hands trembling slightly::

CNS_Wells says:
::Noticing, seriously, for the first time the new Doctor Janet has told him about::

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
FCO: I would certainly appreciate your input. The more eyes looking over the data we have, the more information that can be gleaned.  You might pick up something that Mr. Ayidee or I might miss.

Host CO_Worthington says:
ALL: Sounds like a start. I want all departments coordinating together on this one, Ensign Pasco and Commander Ayidee will take lead on this. I would like to get out of here as soon as we can.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::wishes she has any ideas to throw out on the table about on how to get home.::

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Ditto that, Captain.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Nods towards Ensign Pasco as of understanding.::

CIV_Ayidee says:
::smirks.::  CO: If this works, we can get out of here whenever we want.  Even yesterday.

Host CO_Worthington says:
FCO: Keep us away from the Klingons, hopefully sensors will be back up soon.

Host CO_Worthington says:
ALL: All right team, anything else we need to cover?

CIV_Ayidee says:
CO: Primary Navigational and Tactical Sensors are back, as are basic Science sensors.  It's just the pallets having a bit of trouble.  Should be ready soon.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
CO: Perhaps I can try the trick with the dust behind the planet again?

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::looks around the room::

CNS_Wells says:
CIV: Just try and make sure my home address is really where I live this time.  I miss my FNS subscription.

Host CO_Worthington says:
ALL: Let us not delay any longer. Dismissed.

CIV_Ayidee says:
CNS: We'll try.  But you may miss a few issues, unless the paperchild is very diligent.
::Stands up and accesses PADD, bringing up the logs from the previous trips, looking at the data for a pattern.::

CNS_Wells says:
::Stands::

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::stands up, she stretches her legs.::

CNS_Wells says:
CIV/CEO: Good luck, both of you.

CIV_Ayidee says:
CNS: Luck is built with proper preparation, but we'll take all we can get.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::stands and heads over to where Tio is::

CNS_Wells says:
CIV: Luck is just a way of positive thinking.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
CNS: Ah, what he said  ::points at Tio::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Stands up and walks out of the OL. Back to his station. Directly starting to scan the area. Meanwhile searching all flight data together.::

CIV_Ayidee says:
CEO: The data will have far too many points for us to make sense of in a reasonable amount of time.  I think the Stellar Cartography Computer would best be able to sort it.

CMO_Ens_Downer says:
::Slowly stands and leaves the OL, heading back to the Sickbay::

CNS_Wells says:
::Smiles reassuringly at CEO::

Host CO_Worthington says:
FCO: Keep us out of sight but don't stray too far.

CNS_Wells says:
CMO: Doctor Downer, a word please?

CNS_Wells says:
::Catches up to him before he reaches the Turbolift::

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::Nods::  CIV: Then let's get that happening.  I want to go home.

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  As the meeting is over, the acting OPS waves at Kyleigh to come over.

CMO_Ens_Downer says:
::Stops and nods, turning to the Counselor, holding the TL door open::

CIV_Ayidee says:
::Moves towards the Turbo Lift.::  CEO: Did they forget to tell you in training?  You are home, we have to get home back to the right place is all.  And yes, I know that's semantics.

CNS_Wells says:
CMO: I just wanted to say congratulations on your new assignment. If you need anything or just want to talk I wanted you to know you'd be welcome.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Finds all flight information and sends it right away to Tio's console.:: CIV: Check your console. I have found the flight data.

CIV_Ayidee says:
FCO: I'll access it from Stellar Cartography.  Thank you, Ensign.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::she exits the OL, and notices she is being motioned by Ens Louise Myers, her relief.::  Myers:  Yes, Ensign?

Host CO_Worthington says:
::lingers in the OL for a moment, considering their new options::

CNS_Wells says:
CMO: I know how crazy Sickbay can get.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Works a bit with the ship. It more looks like it is on a controlled drift. No engines, so hardly detectable. Only very short thruster bursts.::

CMO_Ens_Downer says:
::Smiles and steps out of the TL:: CNS:  Thank you Counselor, I commend you on keeping it organized.  It is a good staff.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::chuckles following CIV::  CIV: Yes, you are right. She is home.

CMO_Ens_Downer says:
CNS:  Perhaps later we can grab a coffee and get to know each other.

CNS_Wells says:
CMO: ...and, when Sickbay is quiet, you are more than welcome to be on the bridge.  Your input would be of value to the Captain, I'm sure.  Janet can handle things down there.

CIV_Ayidee says:
::Takes the next Turbolift.::  TL: Deck 9, Stellar Cartography.

CNS_Wells says:
CMO: Coffee sounds great, anytime.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
<Ens Myers>  OPS:  Don't know how to say this but we have been spotted.  I have heard chatter between two Klingon vessels that we just "appeared" in their sensor grid.  And Commander, they are sending a warship to investigate.

CMO_Ens_Downer says:
::nods:: CNS: Yes, she seems like a very capable doctor.  Maybe I'll stick around here on the bridge for a bit.  I couldn't help perk up at the mention of the Borg.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
CIV: Ensign Zdunovski wants to take a look at the data too, so maybe we should feed anything stellar cartography shows us through to him.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
Myers:  Are you sure?

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
<Ens Myers>  OPS:  Affirmative.

Host CO_Worthington says:
::rises from his chair and heads onto the bridge::

CIV_Ayidee says:
CEO: Of course, another set of eyes never hurts.

CNS_Wells says:
CMO: Understandable, the Borg scare me to death.  

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
Myers:  Understood, remain at your post for a few more minutes.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
CIV: That's very much what I told him, too.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::sees the CO emerge from the OL::  CO:  We got a problem, Sir.

CMO_Ens_Downer says:
:Nods somberly::  CNS: I spent the senior year in medical school on a research team studying Human-Borg interfaces.

CIV_Ayidee says:
::Exits Turbo Lift and walks the last few meters to stellar cartography.::

Host CO_Worthington says:
OPS: What is it?

CNS_Wells says:
CMO: Really? You may have something to say about the Borg tech the crew is working with.  Maybe you should have a look at their data as well?

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
CO: I have the ship in a controlled flight.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::Moves along beside Tio, hurrying her steps to keep up:: Self: Being this short has its disadvantages..  ::frowns::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
CO: I am going to assist the CEO and CIV to find the way out, I can check the flight console there as well from time to time.

CIV_Ayidee says:
::Access Stellar Cartography and starts inputting data from our trips through.::  CEO: Trick here will be figuring what sort of filters to put on it.

CNS_Wells says:
*CIV*: I think I have another pair of eyes for you.  The Doctor here is familiar with some Borg tech.

CMO_Ens_Downer says:
::Winces a bit and nods::  CNS:  Yes, you may be right, I should have mentioned that at the meeting but the truth is the stuff makes me sick.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Ensign Myers has been monitoring the comm while we were in the meeting.  She heard that we have been spotted by the Klingons.  Apparently, we just "appeared" in their sensor grid.  And the news doesn’t get any better, they are sending a warship to investigate.

Host CO_Worthington says:
FCO: Get us to a safe distance now Ensign.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Nods, and thinks his own story of it. Walks back to the console.:: Self: How safe does he want it? We are away from everybody.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
CIV:  I guess, we start with what you think is most obvious, or most likely to work and go from there.

CIV_Ayidee says:
*CNS/ CMO*: We're in Stellar Cartography, trying to sort the data.  Plenty of room on the project.

ACTION:  A Klingon ship has acknowledged the orders to proceed where the Cherokee has been spotted.

Host CO_Worthington says:
TO: How far away is our new friend?

CNS_Wells says:
*CIV*: We'll be right down.

CNS_Wells says:
CMO: Come on I'll show you the way.

CIV_Ayidee says:
CEO: Perhaps we can track down where we began to "alter" our environments Quantum State?

CMO_Ens_Downer says:
::Looks at the CNS::  CNS:  I'll head down and give them a hand.  We might need more than coffee afterwards though.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Captain, permission to leave the bridge for a few minutes?

Host CO_Worthington says:
CNS: Aye. 

Host CO_Worthington says:
<TO>CO: Sir, Klingon attack cruiser coming into sensor range now.

CNS_Wells says:
CMO: Wait up, I need a change of scenery.

Host CO_Worthington says:
FCO: Where is that dust cloud you were talking about earlier?

CMO_Ens_Downer says:
::Holds open the TL door and waits for the CNS to enter::

CNS_Wells says:
::Heads to Turbolift with CMO::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Moving ship more and more from the spot. Trying to attach dust to the ship. Like last time. :: CO: Bit further in to the bad zone sir. But I am attaching already what I find.

CNS_Wells says:
::Enters:: Computer: Deck nine.

Host CO_Worthington says:
FCO: Get us there quickly, try using thrusters so they can't pick up our trail.

CNS_Wells says:
CMO: Sometimes I need to get off the bridge, call it a mental health thing.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
CIV: That sounds like a good place to start.  Right at the base of the problem.  I believe it may be caused by a clash between the two energies.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
CO: I can sprint to there, but now we are at drift. They might not detect us. If I hide behind that big rock there already. ::Pointing on somewhere into nothing::

CMO_Ens_Downer says:
::laughs:: CNS:  I feel the same way about Sickbay, especially with angry Caitians in it.

CNS_Wells says:
CMO: Oh yeah, them. The male is cool but, the female...she's a bitter pill to swallow.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Pulls all thrusters open. And flies as fast as possible to the hiding area. Meanwhile attaching more and more dust.:: CO: 2 minutes to the dust, do you see it on the view screen?

Host CO_Worthington says:
FCO: Just keep us out of sight. If they find us we will have to run.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
CO:  The Klingon ship has responded to the orders to proceed to where we were spotted.

CNS_Wells says:
::Exits Turbo lift when it stops:: CMO: Stellar Cartography is this way, I think. Don't go there much.

Host CO_Worthington says:
OPS: Hopefully they are too busy enjoying their Blood Wine to care.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Places the Cherokee behind a big rock, that flies to space. Hiding for the Cherokee.:: CO: We are hiding now.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
CIV: Are we able to create a simulation to show us how the two energies interact?

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
CO:  My sentiments exactly.

CMO_Ens_Downer says:
::Follows the CNS down the corridor::  CNS: I don't think I have ever been in one.

ACTION:  As tactical monitors the Klingon ship, it seems to be in no hurry to reach the Cherokee.

CIV_Ayidee says:
CEO: Once the information is brought together from the 3 runs and from the navigational logs, the computer should be able to sort it out and simplify it enough for the Holodeck to make what the humans call an "educated guess".

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::smiles::  CIV: I think that would be a good idea then, to see exactly how the two energies work with each other, that would perhaps give us more insight.

Host CO_Worthington says:
*CIV/CEO*: You may have to work a little faster as we have been spotted by the Klingons. We are hiding for now but I don't know how much longer we can remain unseen.

CIV_Ayidee says:
CEO: The data is entering fairly quick, should have the processing done shortly once done.

CNS_Wells says:
CMO: It's a pretty nice place, if you like star charts.  Here we are.  ::Enters the Stellar Cartography lab and approaches the team::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Attaching more and more dust.:: Self: could the dust have done its thing? The reason while we came into the wrong universe?

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
CO: Our outside looks like a rock now too, sir.

CNS_Wells says:
CIV/CEO: Have you two met the new Chief Medical Officer, Doctor Downer?  I thought he could help go through your data?

CIV_Ayidee says:
CMO/ CNS: Welcome.  Information is being fed into the computer now, about done.  Once it's done, we'll have it processed, and have it in a more "usable" form.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
*CIV*: Do you think that attaching dust to our ship, had a bad effect on our travel? I mean I have dust-off the ship, but as some dust could have been sticking on the ship?

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::Turns to see the CMO and CNS enter::  CNS/ CMO: Not yet, nice to meet you Doctor, and any extra input is always welcome.

CMO_Ens_Downer says:
::Smiles:: CIV/CEO:  Hi, nice to meet you both.  I may not be of any help at all but I did spend a year on a medical research team that studied Borg interfaces.

CIV_Ayidee says:
*FCO*: Uncertain, but we'll add it into the data.

CIV_Ayidee says:
CMO: For what it's worth, I'm not sure if I'll be of any use.  Pure theory is all I have, but we're making the best of what we have.

CNS_Wells says:
CIV/CEO/CMO: Well, I'll leave you brainiacs to your Borg toy. I better get back to the bridge, the Captain may need me.  I have no idea where Mark is.

CMO_Ens_Downer says:
CIV/CEO:  Have you looked into whether the Borg device was built for a particular species?  Sometimes we found that Borg tech would be specially designed for the race it was intended for and it could skew the intended operations.

CNS_Wells says:
::Sees things here are good and makes his exit::

CIV_Ayidee says:
CMO: A little bit different here, but perhaps the concept is the same.  It's a ship affecting device, but perhaps it's set for certain point in space to operate?

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
CMO: Interesting suggestion.  I suppose it could be having an effect, however as we are using it purely to alter the activity of chronoton particles we hadn't really considered that.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::she picks up something else on the comm::  CO:  Sir, the Klingons did a long range scan and all they could detect was rock, nothing else.  They are saying that it is not honorable to stick around where nothing is worth looking into so they are turning around.

CNS_Wells says:
::Makes his way back to the bridge.  Sends a memo to Janet Monroe in Sickbay informing her of CMO's whereabouts if an emergency should come up::

Host CO_Worthington says:
OPS: Excellent news Commander.
FCO: Let's hang around here for a little while longer.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
CIV/CMO: Another good point, I will have Ens Fixzit start looking into the device itself while we are working here.

CIV_Ayidee says:
All: OK, data is in.  Will take a few minutes to sort at most.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
Co: yes sir. We look  like the rock anyway.

CNS_Wells says:
::Arrives back on the bridge and takes his spot::

CIV_Ayidee says:
*OPS*: Are the Holodecks in operating order?  We would like to use one to test a few theories before we try the actual run.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::Taps her comm badge:: *Ens Fixzit*: We need to know if the Borg technology we are using has been configured to work specifically with a particular race, point in space or drive type, some sort of specification like that. Take a team and get onto it.

CMO_Ens_Downer says:
CIV/CEO:  Perhaps you could simulate the conditions for the interface that the device for designed for, if I am right.

CNS_Wells says:
CO/OPS: What's going on? Any good news?

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
*CIV*:  They should be in working order, go ahead use it, as long as it helps to get us home.

Host CO_Worthington says:
CNS: Oh, just some murderous Klingons coming and going.

CMO_Ens_Downer says:
CIV/CEO:  If it is for a certain race to operate, I might be able to use my study notes to help create one for you.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Well, as long as they are mostly going, that's good news and I'll take it.  ::Smiles to himself::

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  The Klingons are leaving because they don't want to play with the rocks in the area, they say there is no honor in such an activity.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
CMO: I have a team going over the device as we speak. If they find any specifications like that, we just may need your study notes.

CMO_Ens_Downer says:
::Nods::

CNS_Wells says:
OPS: I dunno, playing with rocks could be fun. Depends on who's rocks they are, I suppose.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  Either way, they are leaving us be.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
<Ens Fixzit>::Works with a team going over the device running scans and diagnostics::

Host CO_Worthington says:
FCO: Once we are out of the woods, set course back to our entry point.

CNS_Wells says:
OPS: Terrific. We don't need an audience for our hopefully speedy departure.

CIV_Ayidee says:
CEO/ CMO: Next step will be patching the data in to the Holodeck filters, see what it comes up with.  We can alter the model after if we find new information.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
<Ens Fixzit> *CEO*: We have found no indication that the device is race or area specific.  Is there anything else you need us to check for?

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
*Ens Fixzit*: Not at the moment, but stay by the device, we may have more for you soon.

CNS_Wells says:
FCO: Did you get the outside of the ship all dirty again?

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Smile:: CNS: Yes sir
