Host CO_Worthington says:
Captain's Log Stardate 10804.20 The Crew busies with their tasks before we attempt to return home again. The clock is ticking as the Klingons could be back at any moment. Hopefully we will be able to beat the buzzer.

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

CIV_Ayidee says:
::In Stellar Cartography, reviewing the summary of data from the last trips.::  CEO: I think we can make this work.  Just put a bit more focus on the outputs that went off here, here and there... ::Points to the readouts.::  and we should be able to control the forces that may have dragged us here before.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::at her station, wondering when this adventure through the vortex will end::

Host CO_Worthington says:
::On the bridge, awaiting word from Ayidee and Pasco:: XO: Any movement by the Klingons?

CNS_Wells says:
::On the bridge, in his place, wishing for divine intervention to get us home this time::

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: takes a small circuit around the bridge, checking each station and each crewman at that station and offering a kind word to each one as he returns to his seat. ::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Behind the flight console. Checking things.::

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Still as quiet as church services out there.  I've got Tactical teaming up with the Science department to keep an eye on long and short range scans to make sure they don't get the drop on us, sir.

CMO_Downer says:
::fidgeting with a Tricorder, watching the nurses go about their business in Sickbay.::

Host CO_Worthington says:
XO: Well hopefully we will be underway before too long.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::nods::  CIV: And that is easy enough to do, if we focus it through the Phaser arrays rather than the deflector dish. That should give us the greater concentration and accuracy we need.

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Don't tell the boys in Astrophysics that.  They've been happier than a fox in a hen house with all the dimensional mapping they've been able to do.  I swear, I think my head was going to explode with all those big words they were throwing about down there.

CIV_Ayidee says:
CEO: Of course the power flow may blow out half the emitters, but that's a small price to pay.  If it works.  If it doesn't, price may seem steeper.

Host CO_Worthington says:
XO: Well anything to brighten their days I suppose. When we get back, we will let them track some comets.

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: gives a fake grimace and nods. :: CO: Tracking comets?  You sure do know how to live, sir.

CNS_Wells says:
XO/CO: The waiting is difficult for everyone, but I'm glad someone found their silver lining.

CIV_Ayidee says:
CEO: Do you think the Holodeck could properly simulate conditions inside the rift?

Host CO_Worthington says:
XO/CNS: Yea, Mr. Hazzard is well known as an eternal optimist.

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CNS: That reminds me, I need to schedule a session with you in the near future.  Just to keep you up to date.

CMO_Downer says:
::Confident that sickbay is ready for any casualties and tired of sitting around and waiting, he decides to visit the Bridge.  He exits SB and hops in the nearest TL::

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::continuing with monitoring the comm channels, she hears something that peaks her attention::   ALL:  Folks, I think we better get a move on to get out of here.  The Klingon High Council is NOT too pleased about the cruiser bypassing this area without a full investigation.  The council mentioned something about too much blood wine making them lazy as a resting Targ.

CNS_Wells says:
XO: Sure, then you can buy me lunch.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
CIV: I don't think it will be 100 percent accurate, but it is our best bet at this point. At least following a simulation we should be able to tell if we are at least on the right track

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Hears the talks of the CO and XO. Shivers by the thought of going to look at comets. That is not as exciting as being in the wrong universe and at the wrong time. How wrong can it go?::

CMO_Downer says:
::Steps out of the Turbolift and steps unto the bridge:: Self: Impressive.

CIV_Ayidee says:
CEO: Let's punch it in then.  Won't be able to be in the Holodeck for it, unless we don Environmental suits, but we can monitor from here.

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
FCO: Ensign, call up local star charts and see if we can find a less obvious place to hide ourselves in case we have to make like a tree and split.

Host CO_Worthington says:
XO: Hey, I am all for some boring missions, you know after being stuck in alternate dimensions, fighting the KPF and the Synod and having to go to Psych evals.

CNS_Wells says:
All: And our disguise probably wont fool them a second time.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
XO: Yes sir. Will take a minute or so.

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: I'll see your Psych evals and raise you a punctured lung.  :: grins ::

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
OPS: Good work on the heads up notice, Commander.  As always, we'd be out of the loop without you.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
CIV: Let's do it then.  ::turns to console and starts transferring necessary data to the Holodeck::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Works on the computer and places an image of the local stars on the main Viewscreen.:: XO: Look ahead sir. The local star map.

CIV_Ayidee says:
::Forwards the information to the Holodeck and begins the simulation.::

Host CO_Worthington says:
XO: Hey, maybe someday they will send us on a diplomatic mission.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
XO:  Ah, you admitted that you cannot live without me being here.

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: walks over to the main Viewscreen and examines the local star systems. Turns to look at the CO with a raised eyebrow. :: CO: And when have I ever been described as diplomatic?

ACTION:  On LRS, it appears that the Klingon cruiser is turning around.

CNS_Wells says:
XO: Never, as far as I know.

Host CO_Worthington says:
XO: Don't worry, I will let you mind the store.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Loud:: Self: It looks the same, but it is different. I bet if we put our map over it,  we will see the difference. But is that something we can use?

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Diplomatic missions sound nice but, I better go with you on those.

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
<Lt Miller> CO/XO: Captain, Klingon contact has reversed course and is now returning to our coordinates.

CIV_Ayidee says:
CEO: Running it through now, going to give it 4 runs so we have the best picture available.

CMO_Downer says:
::Spots the CNS and takes a hesitant walk over, careful not to get in anybody's way.:: CNS: Hiya, Counselor.  Thought I would take your advice and check out the Bridge.

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Your charity knows no bounds sir. :: returns his focus to the view screen. ::

CNS_Wells says:
CMO: Well, hi there. I didn't see you come in. 

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Swaps Local star chart to a quarter of the main Viewscreen, and it shows the local area now.::

Host CO_Worthington says:
Miller: Take us to Yellow Alert.

Host CO_Worthington says:
FCO: Get ready to move out.

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: What about this nebula cloud formation here?  We'd be able to hide here till our resident geniuses could figure out what we did wrong.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
CIV: Excellent.  Here's hoping this gives us something positive to work with.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
XO: Sir? I see a nice moon.  Perhaps I should go there?

Host SM-Trish ACTION:  The Cherokee goes to Yellow Alert. (Yellow Alert.wav)

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
<Lt. Miller> CO: Yellow Alert, Aye sir! :: engages the yellow alert klaxon and engages the shields.::

CMO_Downer says:
CNS: I am sneaky that way.  I didn't want to come in with the brass bands playing in case things were going... wrong.  Things aren't going wrong are they?

Host CO_Worthington says:
FCO: Set course Ensign.

CNS_Wells says:
CMO: Things aren't going much at all. How did it go with the Borg thingy, are they any closer to giving it another go?

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Starts up the thrusters.  Has all ready sets course for the moon.:: CO: Yes sir. On my way.

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
Lt. Miller : Lieutenant, disengage the shields, no reason to broadcast our presence just yet.

ACTION:  3 of the 4 simulations work, with the Cherokee relatively in one piece.

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
<Lt. Miller> XO: Aye sir.  Returning shields to stand by.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
ALL:  I've been hearing some wonderful colorful metaphors muttered from that cruiser that just turned around, so we better pick up the pace as a highly agitated Klingon spells doom to whomever is in their path.

CMO_Downer says:
::Smiles and shrugs::  CNS: Not sure really,  they started speaking a dialect of techno speak that I no longer could follow.  Suffice to say, my idea was a dud.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::The ship floats over to the moon. Dust covered, it would not get any attention.::

CIV_Ayidee says:
CEO: Not good.  3rd one sub-spatial sheer took off our port nacelle.  Did wonders for Structural integrity and Warp Core stability.

CNS_Wells says:
CMO: We are getting unwanted company, angry Klingons, the worst dinner guests ever.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
CO: Inbound moon, 2 minutes.

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
Self: Oh great.  Cranky Klingons.  Just what we need.  As if they didn't have brow beating down to a science as it is.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::Looks at Tio::  CIV: Yes, not a happy little scenario at all.  But why did it do that in just that run?

Host CO_Worthington says:
*CIV*: Mr. Ayidee, what is your status down there. We have Klingons inbound.

CNS_Wells says:
CMO: Hopefully our encounter with them will still leave us with nothing to do.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Could you put a little more pressure on them, Sir? 

CMO_Downer says:
CNS:  Yes, I am a big fan of slow days at the office.  Jeez, it even smells a little different up here.

ACTION:  The Klingon cruiser begins to power up their weapons.

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: looks at the CMO and CNS talking together and grins. :: CMO/CNS: Teaming up on me, eh?

CIV_Ayidee says:
CEO: Apparently the attraction of the universe to items trying to leave it is "unable to be accurately predicted".  I think the shields can hold, if set right.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Places the ship, at the shadow sit of the moon.:: CO: Sir, we are at the shadow side of the moon now. I can circle it, or attach us to this spot.

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
<Lt. Miller> CO: Captain, Klingon contact has energized their weapons systems!

CIV_Ayidee says:
*CO*: Very close.  I think we can do it, but there is some risk at this time.

CNS_Wells says:
CMO: Oh, that's Mr. Hazzard. ::Whispers:: Cheap cologne.

Host CO_Worthington says:
FCO: All stop. Set a course if we have to run away in a hurry.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Starts to put evasive maneuvers in to the flight computer. And sends them to the captain.::

CMO_Downer says:
::Turns to the XO:: XO: No sir, I'll leave that to the Klingons

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Stops the engines.:: CO: Yes sir.

CNS_Wells says:
XO: That's for being paranoid.

Host CO_Worthington says:
*CIV*: You have 5 minutes.

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: shakes his head as he takes his seat. :: CMO: Doc...might want to take a seat.  I think its about to get really bumpy soon.
CNS: Its not paranoia if everyone is really out to get you.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
CIV: So, we should be able to do this, as long as we.. uh... take precautions.

CIV_Ayidee says:
*CO*: Aye Captain.  We'll have it ready.

CMO_Downer says:
::Looks around for an empty seat and sits his butt down, gripping the armrests a little too tightly::

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CNS: And by the way.  Its not cheap, just economical.

CNS_Wells says:
XO: I look forward to that next session, Commander ::Smiles::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
Ops: Do you know if we cleared the Bussard collectors from dust last time?

CIV_Ayidee says:
CEO: Correct.  Probably be good to have an idea what we're going to get into.  Send something ahead?  Give us a heads up when the sheer is about to change so we can alter shields accordingly?  We should be able to do that for just the loss of a few probes.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Thank you.

CMO_Downer says:
CNS/XO:  It's a pungent scent, very... efficient.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
FCO:  Not sure on that.

Host CO_Worthington says:
ALL: Everyone prepare to head back. Make sure all departments are ready and standing by.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
CIV: Sounds like a plan. Losing a few probes really is nothing when we consider what we would be losing if we don't send them ahead.

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: looks at the CMO and the CNS for a moment, turning his attention back to the view screen and shaking his head. :: CNS: Oh yeah, my life just got a whole lot more interesting.

CNS_Wells says:
CMO: Efficient to what means, Doctor?

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
OPS: Can it be that dust interfere in the collectors? Who should know that? just thought of it.

Host CO_Worthington says:
OPS: Put me on shipwide.

CIV_Ayidee says:
CEO: I think I'd better handle the shields.  No time to review who else with Tactical experience also has enough experience with Astrophysics to make sense of the readings.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Aye.  ::puts the ship on Shipwide::

CMO_Downer says:
CNS:  Well, it certainly makes you aware..

CIV_Ayidee says:
*CO*: I'm going to take control of the ship's shields.  We will have to send a few probes ahead, to "map the road" as the humans say.  It should minimize the risk to acceptable levels.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
CIV: Looks like you're our man…cat… uh... You know what I mean!

Host CO_Worthington says:
COM: Crew, this is Captain Worthington, we are about to re-engage the Borg device in an attempt to head home. All non-essential areas will be powered down. We are confident we will return home this time. Best of luck to us all, there is no finer crew in all of Starfleet. Worthington out.

CIV_Ayidee says:
::Smiles.::  CEO: Partially.  I think the ride will still give you enough work to keep you busy for a week.

CNS_Wells says:
CMO: And its good for removing unwanted nose hair.

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
Self: Well, third times the charm I hear.

Host CO_Worthington says:
*CIV*: Acknowledged. We are standing by.

CMO_Downer says:
::Tries to stifle a chuckle::

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Good luck, Sir.

CIV_Ayidee says:
*CO*: Prepping probes and transferring control down here for the shields.

Host CO_Worthington says:
CNS: Let us all hope this works finally.
Miller: Where is the Klingon ship?

CNS_Wells says:
::Decides to sit still and quiet to let them all do their thing.  I'll do the wishing::

CIV_Ayidee says:
*CO*: Bring us to the rift, and let's hope that whatever gods live in this universe are smiling.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::does her part to ensure that everything is prepared for the next attempt to get home.::

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
CIV: My team has patched the Borg tech to feed into the Phaser arrays and I have transferred controls here.

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
<Lt. Miller> CO: Slowly approaching at Warp 2.6.  Intercept course but they are not in a real hurry, sir.

Host CO_Worthington says:
*CIV*: Coordinate with the FCO's console. Let's get this show on the road, the Klingons are slowly lurching toward us.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
CO: I think I am going to de-dust us already. What do you think?

CIV_Ayidee says:
*FCO*: We're set down here, bring us to the rift.  We will launch probes 1 light second before our entry, then additional probes every 25000 kilometers.

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
FCO: Lets wait till after we're through the rabbit hole, Ensign.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
All: Hold on. De-dusting and then to the rift.

Host CO_Worthington says:
FCO: Take us out Ensign.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::The ship starts to shake, for getting all dust of the ship. Thrusters set to maximum.::

CNS_Wells says:
::Tracks the Klingons on his console, for something to do::

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: shrugs, planning on speaking with the FCO later instead of now. ::

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::prepares the Borg tech controls, powering the device up to standby::  CIV: Borg tech is ready to go when we are.

ACTION:  As the Cherokee moves out from behind the moon, they make their way to the rift.  The Klingons pick up the movement.  It is now a race.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Speeds up:: CO: What speed?

Host CO_Worthington says:
FCO: Once we clear the Moon, take us to Full Impulse.

CMO_Downer says:
::Finds himself chewing the nail on his thumb, pulls it away and looks around to ensure no one saw the sign of nervousness::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Speeding up to Full impulse after leaving the moon.:: CO: We are at full impulse now.

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
<Lt_Miller> CO: I think we got the Klingons' attention sir.  They are picking up speed.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::The ship makes a wide bend around the moon and the Klingon ship and heads for the rift.::

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::waits nervously::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
All: Sorry for the stiff shaking, but I wanted to be sure, that all dust is gone.

CMO_Downer says:
Himself: Well this is exciting.

CNS_Wells says:
CMO: It's okay, being a bit scared or nervous is not only allowed but, healthy.

CIV_Ayidee says:
::Launches probes at 1 light second from rift, then additional ones every 25000 kilometers.::

ACTION:  The Cherokee begins to lauch her probes in an effort they hope to get home.

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CMO: Nah, interesting.  You don't want to know about the exciting stuff we've been through.

Host CO_Worthington says:
Self: This better work.

CNS_Wells says:
FCO: Dust later, fly now.

CIV_Ayidee says:
*Bridge*: Going to try and use the shields to keep us from being "grabbed" by the forces of nature.  Subspace sheer is still likely as we "break the barriers".

CMO_Downer says:
::Eyes open wide, turns to Wells:: CNS: Well then, I am going to be very, very, healthy.

Host CO_Worthington says:
ALL: Everyone hold on tight.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::holds on as she prays for the right outcome to occur.::

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::feeds full power to the Borg device and through the Phasers::

CNS_Wells says:
::Laughs, lightly::

ACTION:  As the Cherokee proceeds through the rift, it is shaken about as the "other" universes seems want to hold on to her.  Crewmen are flying everywhere.  The CMO will have a big job ahead.

CIV_Ayidee says:
::Works to keep the shields set to protect us from being held in place, in effect acting as lubricant.::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
CNS: The difference can be .1 warp. Pretty much if you need the speed and can not get it. ::Big smile.::

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::watches the readouts of the Borg device, altering settings slightly to maintain a stable energy flow::

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: can't help but let out a rather cowboy-ish whoop as he holds onto his chair. ::

CNS_Wells says:
::Hangs on very tight and closes his eyes::

CMO_Downer says:
::Crawls over to a fallen crewmember, checking to see if he is ok::

Host CO_Worthington says:
::digs into the armrest, holding on::

CIV_Ayidee says:
*Bridge*: Shields trying to get over loaded, I think they'll hold long enough!

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Ship shakes pretty much. Does his best to prevent worse.::

ACTION:  The Cherokee is being grabbed by the forces holding every Universe it passes together.  Structural integrity is down 15%.

CIV_Ayidee says:
CEO: Let's hope our gods are smiling on the other side as well...

Host CO_Worthington says:
*CIV*: How much longer? Can we hold together?

CIV_Ayidee says:
*CO*: Uncertain, doing all I  can with it.

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
*Engineering*: Re-route all unnecessary power to shields and SIFs to compensate, try to keep us in one piece for just a bit longer.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
CIV: Indeed.  ::continues monitoring readouts::

CMO_Downer says:
CNS:  Very, very healthy.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
<Ens Fixzit> *XO*: Aye sir.   ::reroutes power as ordered::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Trying to ride the waves. Succeeded a bit. Shaking is a bit less.::

ACTION:  The Cherokee strains for a few moments, then is plunged out through the other end of the rift, like releasing a cork from a bottle.  As she exits, the shields drop and the Cherokee begins to spin.

CNS_Wells says:
CMO: Huh? Oh, umm, you okay? Do you need help? ::Looks around to see who is where::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
Self: What?!?

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
FCO: Stabilize our drift. I don't care if you have to get out and push!

Host CO_Worthington says:
::holds on as they spin out of control:: FCO: Emergency thrusters! Try to stabilize!

CIV_Ayidee says:
CEO: Last "step" nearly didn't happen, but I think we're through!

CNS_Wells says:
::Hangs on::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Does his best to stabilize. But it takes a while. Puts the thrusters in as the CO suggested.::

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::shuts down the power to the Borg tech and holds onto the nearest fixed object::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Ships stabilizes after a few minutes.:: CO: Sir? I think, I have her.

CMO_Downer says:
::Looks up, stabilizing the neck of the fallen man::  CNS:  Can you call down to Dr. Monroe for me and get her to send a team up here to get his guy down to Sickbay?

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Captain, I think we need to go back. I think we left my stomach back in the last dimension.

Host CO_Worthington says:
FCO: Good work. 
*CIV*: Where are we?

CIV_Ayidee says:
*Bridge*: Aligning the sensor pallets, will check the quantum shift soon.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Well?

Host CO_Worthington says:
XO: It will have company, my nerves are back there as well.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::praying to hear those infamous words "Are We There Yet?"::

Host CO_Worthington says:
CNS: Looks like we will have to wait a few minutes.

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: Can't help but grin. :: CO: And here I thought I got on your last one months ago.

CNS_Wells says:
CMO: I'll do better, we can just beam you both there. I'll alert Sickbay you are coming.

ACTION:  OPS begins to check her communication system to find out if Starfleet is on any of the channels.

CMO_Downer says:
CNS: Very well.

Host CO_Worthington says:
XO: Me too, but I saved one for a special occasion.

Host CO_Worthington says:
CMO: Casualty report as soon as you can get one Doctor.

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Will wonders never cease?  I'll get the status reports from all decks, sir. :: walks over to the Tactical station and helps Miller with organizing the damage and status reports. ::

ACTION:  As OPS is checking she receives a call from the USS Powell, who has been searching the area for weeks.

CNS_Wells says:
::Arranges for the emergency beam out to sickbay::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Checks his flight console.:: CO: Status of flight console is green.

CIV_Ayidee says:
*CO*: Looks like we made it, quantum spin of surrounding space matches that of our own universe.  Luck was with us it seems.

CNS_Wells says:
::Sends a COM to Sickbay::

Captain Blight says:
#COM: Cherokee:  This is Captain Blight, from the USS Powell.  Where have you been?

Host CO_Worthington says:
*CIV*: I hope you are right. Please triple check to confirm.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::she checks communications, hoping to find the proper Starfleet on the horn, then something interesting happens::  ALL:  We made contact.

Host CO_Worthington says:
OPS: Maintain comm silence for now.

CIV_Ayidee says:
*CO*: Aye sir, checking physical constants now, will access Fleet data after to ensure.

ACTION:  The CMO is transported to sickbay with his patient.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::Looks over at CIV, smiling in disbelief::  CIV: Did you just say we are back?

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::lets the Powell hear static for the time being.::

Host CO_Worthington says:
OPS: Open secure channel to Starbase 33, I want to talk to Admiral Alexander.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Aye.  ::does as asked::

CNS_Wells says:
All: I think we did it. ::Smiles his biggest smile::

CIV_Ayidee says:
*CO*: Physical checks coming back positive, looking at other sources to see if it's as it should be.

CMO_Downer says:
::Looks around and motions for a couple of nurses to give him a hand::  MO:  Dr. Monroe, I need your assistance here, this boy broke his neck.  We are going to have a lot of casualties here in few minutes.

Host CO_Worthington says:
COM: Starbase 33: Admiral Alexander, this is Captain Worthington, please come in.

Host SM-Trish says:
<Starbase 33 OPS> $COM: Cherokee:  This is Starbase 33.  Welcome home Cherokee.  The Admiral is on her way.  Please hold.

CNS_Wells says:
<MO_Monroe>: CMO: Aye, Sir. Let me help you get started.

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: reads off the various reports and sighs. :: CO: Captain, Structural Integrity is barely holding on.  We've got major structural damage to Port Nacelle and the Starboard one has actually been canted 3 degrees.  We're in a bad way, sir.

CIV_Ayidee says:
CEO: Indeed, it looks that way in the checks I can make.

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
$COM: CO:  Captain!  It is about time.  We have been very worried about you.

Host CO_Worthington says:
XO: Evacuate all critical areas. Oversee that please.

Host CO_Worthington says:
COM: Starbase33: Admiral, what is the last thing you said to me last time I saw you?

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: On it. :: Begins to direct damage control teams to the more immediate needs of the ship. ::

CMO_Downer says:
*XO*: Sir, we have a lot of injuries streaming in here, we may need to convert one of the Shuttlebays into a triage centre.

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
*CMO*: Doc, Security teams should be bringing in some priority cases.  So far we have 35 serious injuries and... :: pauses. ::  Do whatever you need to do.

CMO_Downer says:
*XO*:  Acknowledged sir.

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: sighs as he reads over the names of the two crewman who did not make it. ::

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
XO:  Did the bread crumb trail work? Are we home?

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
$::looks very puzzled::  COM: CO:  I beg your pardon Captain?  Have you lost your mind?

CIV_Ayidee says:
CEO: I'm guessing there is a lot to be done.  I'm going to the Bridge to see where the most help is needed.  I'm sure I'll be seeing you soon.

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
#::stops to think a moment:: COM: CO:  All I can think of is about the Caitians in trouble.  If it is anything else, I do not remember Trent.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Turns around towards the Ops, having a sheep like face.:: Ops: Is that my bad? That the Cherokee is in a bad way?

Host CO_Worthington says:
COM: Starbase33: You will have to ask Mr. Wells that one. Have you heard of any missing Cardassians?

CNS_Wells says:
*CMO*: Doctor E'ben is your go to guy for make shift triage, letting you stay in Sickbay.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::nods, standing and making her way out of Stellar Cartography::  CIV: I'd best head down to engineering, run full diagnostics and get my teams out there patching up what we can.

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CNS: Counselor, arrange for grief counseling sessions for the families of Crewmen Argette and Daniels.  They got caught in a structural integrity field failure.

CMO_Downer says:
*CNS* Acknowledged Counselor, it's a zoo down here.

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
*CIV*: Commander Ayidee, I need you on Deck 9, Jeffries Tube intersection J-32 Romeo.  I've got a damage control team reporting difficulty getting by there and you know the tubes better than anyone here.

CIV_Ayidee says:
CEO: Good work getting the Borg tech and our own to work together.  Really impressive creative engineering.

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: looks somber as he looks up at the FCO. :: FCO: You did fine son.  Good work.

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
#COM: CO: Missing Cardassians?  No I have not, but no news is good news it seems.  The crew will be served a search warrant and issued a summons to appear in court on Earth.  You have been gone for over 2 months.

CNS_Wells says:
<MO_Monroe> CMO: Sir, I've sent Doctor E'ben and a couple teams to set up triage in Shuttle bay 2.  I've also called in Beta shift.

CIV_Ayidee says:
*XO*: Aye sir, not too far from there now, be there in a minute.

Host CO_Worthington says:
COM: Starbase33: We have suffered major structural damage and can use any assistance you can provide. I will speak to you once we make it back.

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
*CEO*: Chief, I think we need your help in Engineering as soon as possible.  I think we broke the ship.

Host CO_Worthington says:
OPS: Contact the Powell, let them know of our situation and see if they can help.

CNS_Wells says:
All: I knew we'd be going to court, Kandi said so. ::Gets very, very happy::

CIV_Ayidee says:
::Makes for the noted section, working through the Jeffries tubes as needed.::  Damage control teams: Where are we at?

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
*XO*: I'm on my way there and my teams are on standby to go.

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
$COM: CO:  Understood.  I will have the Dallas out to your location ASAP.  Your crew will board her and go to Earth.  I will meet you there.

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
<DC Lead> CIV: I can't get anyone in there to reconnect the LCARS and Input feeds.  They got twisted during the last bit of turbulence and I haven't got anyone who can fit through there without getting a lesson in how to do the 10 Terawatt Tango.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
COM:  Powell:  Sorry about the static, but we are in a bad spot.  We have massive structural damage, we are in need of assistance, can you help?

CMO_Downer says:
::Nods towards Janet as he uses a Hypospray to sedate a crewman with two broken legs:: MO: Thanks Dr., I am going to prep for surgery, we have a crewman over here bleeding internally, I can't stop it otherwise.

Host CO_Worthington says:
COM: Starbase33: Understood Admiral. The Powell is nearby, we are going to see if they can help us.

CIV_Ayidee says:
Damage Control: Cut the power to the entire section, then I'll get your people through.

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
<DC Lead>CIV: You got sir.  :: turns to do just that. ::

CNS_Wells says:
::Is more excited about seeing his family on Earth than, the trial, although that should be good too::

CIV_Ayidee says:
::Waits for the power to be cut, then climbs back into the tubes and works through the tubes.::

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Well, we more or less made it back in one piece.

Captain Blight says:
%COM: CO:  This is the Powell.  We received a COM from Admiral Alexander.  We are to remove you from the Cherokee and transport you to Earth.

Host CO_Worthington says:
XO: And now we get to go to court. I guess that boredom I wanted will come true.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::Enters Engineering and looks over the full systems Diagnostics::   Ens Fixzit: Fixzit take a team up to the areas with the poorest structural integrity. If you can't fix them, lock them down.

CNS_Wells says:
<MO_Monroe>:: Calls over a nurse:: CMO: This is head nurse Amarie, she can assist you in surgery.

Captain Blight says:
%COM: CO:  Do you need any personnel to help you?

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Court?  Oh that’s just peachy.  Dress uniforms here we come.

CIV_Ayidee says:
*DC Lead*: I'm through, working to restore the connections as quickly as I can.  Give me 2 minutes and you should be able to make it in.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
COM:  Powell:  Understood about the removal orders.

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: covers his face and sighs. :: CO: I swear they make us look more and more like bellhops on Risa with each uniform update.

Host CO_Worthington says:
COM: Starbase: Who will assume Command of the Cherokee?

CNS_Wells says:
<MO_Monroe> CMO: They'll be more, I'll get things going out here and join you in there ASAP, if that is agreeable, Sir? ::Smiles::

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
<DC Lead> *CIV*: We're standing by on your word.  Nice to know your still on board for stuff like this.

CMO_Downer says:
::Nods and smiles at Monroe::  MO:  Thank you, that will be.. good.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
CO:  The Powell is offering personnel help to assist us.  Also, they are instructed to remove us and takes us to Earth.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Finds himself. Checks the console and secures all data. Locked by his password. Just in case. The crew had been lured in before.::

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
#COM: CO:  Trent, I will have Sam come out on the Dallas.  The Cherokee will not move until she arrives.  Understood?

Host CO_Worthington says:
OPS: Open the doors for them. Send the order for the crew to prepare for transport.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Understood.

Host CO_Worthington says:
COM: Starbase: Understood Admiral. I will see you on Earth.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Sir, I'm going to head to Sickbay, give them the good news and see if they need an extra set of hands.  We want everyone healthy for our homecoming.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
COM:  Powell:  Personnel Assistance Accepted.

CNS_Wells says:
All: Nice job all of you.  ::Is overly happy, to the point of annoying::

Host CO_Worthington says:
CNS: Be prepared to leave soon.

Captain Blight says:
%COM: OPS:  Understood, stand by for transport.  Sending teams from every department.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
Shipwide:  Prepare for transport off the Cherokee.

CNS_Wells says:
::Exits for Sickbay::

CMO_Downer says:
::Changes quickly into surgical scrubs and looks briefly at himself in a mirror::  Self:  I look like a Klingon blood sausage in this outfit.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Stands up. Turns around and looks towards the CNS and puts his thumbs up.::

Host XO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Didn't we just get this ship fixed the last time we were in space dock?

Host CO_Worthington says:
XO: See if you can get them to trade it in for a Sovy.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
COM:  Powell:  Standing by Powell.  Cherokee Out.
