Ship's Log, effective Stardate11305.12, Captain Ayidee recording.  After an incident with a Kemocite cargo explosion, time has literally come to a dead stop on the Cherokee.  Whether we are stuck in some sort of "bubble" or if this is something far more wide reaching we are still not sure, but we need to find out.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Begin Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::On Bridge, trying to let the crew do their jobs.::  All: Theories on exactly what we're dealing with here?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::at OPS::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::In his seat on the bridge, not sure what's going on::

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Frowns as she tries to get any readings at all outside the ship:: CO: Something reacted with the Kemocite...perhaps chronoton particles reacted and we were caught in the middle?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: Quite likely, but I've never heard of this kind of effect.  Time jumps, yes, but time stopping?  Is it just us or how far does this go?

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
CO: I'm not sure what the radius is.  Perhaps we could put out a probe and see when it stops transmitting?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: It must be something pretty big.  The stars and planets aren't moving.  That's a pretty big area being affected.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO/ CNS: Good point, but if our time was stopped I'm not sure if we'd see movement.  But the Probe is a good test.  Let's put one out.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Turns and starts inputting the instructions for a simple data probe launch::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: It's certainly not a local phenomenon.  Thing is, if this is even galaxy wide, why not us?  Why aren't we frozen too?  Are the other people in other places thinking they're the only ones not frozen?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Good question.  Affects the computer but not us?

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
CO: A bubble sounds more and more likely as we discuss this...

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Launches the probe::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: I don't understand it.  It must be something temporal.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Active hails, keep sending them.  See if there is anything out there to answer if we send out word.

Action: The Probe fires out and heads on a course straight forward.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Monitors the probe as it travels further out::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: I was thinking that perhaps we were caught in a kind of bubble with no chronotons left in it.  But if that were so, I'm not sure if we could operate...

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Already on it.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Looks over:: CO: Are we able to move the ship?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she keeps trying to send hails to anyone anywhere in 3 minute intervals::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: Good question, and next thing to check.
Helm: Point us back towards the station, full thruster acceleration for now.

Host JonB says:
<aFCO>  CO: Aye sir, bringing us about.

Action: The Cherokee comes about and heads towards the station under thruster power.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: We just can't seem to keep away from that station, huh, Sir?

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Watches the probe some more.:: CO: The probe is giving us the same data as our computers.  It's still transmitting.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Good a place as any to start towards.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

Host JonB says:
<aFCO>  CO: Sir, at current speed, we will reach the station in 3 hours

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aFCO: Only if that was our intended course.  Impulse engines online, increase acceleration by an additional 100 meters per second per second until we are at one quarter light speed.

Host JonB says:
<aFCO> CO: Aye sir.  We should reach station in 15 minutes .

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Sits tight and waits for something to happen:: Self: I really need to stop being so paranoid...

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Just to clarify, if the ship stopped receiving time updates from time beacons it would begin internal calculations of time flow, correct?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Rechecks sensor readings on station life signs, hoping to get a better answer::

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Starts doing research on Kemocite::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Correct.  Anything we were doing while checking out the freighter was affected.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Helm: Lay in a new course.  Heading 75 mark 45, velocity Warp 1.

Host JonB says:
<aFCO>  CO ; Aye sir, altering course.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Then whatever is causing this we are immune, but the ship is not.  Then perhaps my "testing it's edges" may not work.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Possibly.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: What about the freighter itself?  Is there any sign of it?  Debris, flotsam and jetsam, black box, anything?

Action: The Cherokee flies past the Starbase and continues on its course.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
CO: If it's not there, then the Kemocite could've warped the freighter into a time jump. It was plasma and Kemocite.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Where are we going? Did you take a wrong turn?  The station is back there.  ::Point with his thumb in back of him::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: Perhaps, but I would think the explosion would have left something.  Even if most of it time jumped, nearly nothing in nature or artificial is perfect.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
CNS: Are we there yet? ::Smiles::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: What?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: We are travelling to see if we can find the edge of the effect.  Not sure if we will but that's the scientific method.  Get a theory and try to test it.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: Were you just trying to be funny there, Doctor Talora?  ::Looks slightly amazed::

Host JonB says:
<aFCO>  CO: Sir, shall I continue on course?

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Shrugs:: CNS: I guess it didn't work. Oh well.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: You're coming along nicely.  I'm ready to tackle the Vulcan.  Where is he?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: It did work.  I got it!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aFCO: Affirmative, but increase to Warp 5.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Smiles again:: CNS: I wish you luck with the Vulcan. It'll be nigh impossible to get a sense of humor into him.

Host JonB says:
<aFCO>  CO: Increasing to warp 5.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO/ OPS: Start running through searches for energy fields or events that could cause this.  Temporal particles, Subspace bubbles, any unexplained energy you can detect we can investigate.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Nods and turns back to her console::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Yes, Sir.  ::she begins her search what he asked for::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: A challenge, Doctor?  I accept.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: It might take me a year or two but, I'll get there.  I got him hooked on Long Island Ice tea, didn't I?  And that was my first day.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: I will pretend I didn't hear that about the iced tea.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Shakes head:: CNS: You gave me extra work to do that night...

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: I didn't mean that part, Sir.  I can't take credit for that, but for my purposes with the Doctor, it looked good on my resume.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: I had nothing to do with it, honest.  I was in Cleveland at the time.  I swear it!

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Blinks:: CNS:...Cleveland?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: A place nowhere near here.

Action: The Cherokee has left the Betazoid star system long behind, heading out at warp 5.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Helm: All Stop, bring us around and back to the point of the explosion.
All: Any chance we didn't jump time but phased out of our time frame?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Nice one eighty, Sir.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
CO: We could test that by beaming over to the station and seeing if people are there, just frozen.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: I'll go with you.

Host JonB says:
<aFCO> CO: Bringing us about and heading back to explosion origin.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Looks as eager as a puppy eyeing a stick in his master's hand::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: It is an option, and at the moment, I'm not sure it's not the best one we have.  Just one thing.  EVA suits.  If we're out of phase don't want your team falling through the decks and entering space vacuum.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
CO: If we were out of phase in that way, just fire something at the station and see if it passes through it. Or at the planet even.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: Or bump into something.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Can I..?  Sir, shall I accompany the Doctor?

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
CO: You volunteering to crash into something to test a theory?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: At low velocity.  Like about 10 meters per second.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Will draw the line at being a test crash dummy::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Find us a piece of debris and tractor it into our path.
Helm: Reduce velocity for a low velocity impact test, reduce to 10 meters per second.  Once test is complete bring us to 25000 meters off station.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: Pick a team, anyone you feel will be useful.  By the time you have them assembled and suited up we should be in position.

Host JonB says:
<aFCO>  CO: Aye sir.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Smiles at CMO, hopefully::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she searches for a piece of debris so she could tractor it into the path.::

Action: The Cherokee slows as it comes close to a piece of debris.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Points to the CNS before sending a message out to have MO Rhapsody, a science officer and a Security officer meet her in TR1::
CNS: You're with me. ::Starts moving towards the TL::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Thinks - Its good to have a big mouth and great teeth::  CMO: Aye, Doctor, Sir... Ma'am.  Lieutenant.
::Follows CMO to Turbolift::
OPS: Leave the light on for us, Commander.  We shall return.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she located a nice piece of debris and to locks the tractor on it and captures it.::
CNS:  Sure.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Takes the TL down and starts walking towards the TR:: CNS: Doctor or Ma'am is fine...or Talora when we aren't on the bridge.  ::Keeps walking::

Action: The Piece of debris is held in front of the Cherokee as it approaches the station.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Helm: Just tap the debris, nice and slow.

Host JonB says:
<aFCO> CO: Coming up on the station sir.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: I think Doctor is good.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
CNS: As you wish then...Ensign. ::Enters the TR to find her team ready to go::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Enters Transporter Room behind CMO.  Goes to closet gets each of them an EVA suit.  Hands one to CMO::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she scans the station and she notes that there is normal breathing atmosphere inside.::  CO:  Captain, just a note that the station does have normal breathing atmosphere inside.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Takes the suit and puts it on:: Team: We ready to go? ::Looks around::

Action: The aFCO flies the ship close to the station with skill, and bumps the rock into the station causing a minor dent into the side of the station.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Gets dressed quickly and steps onto transporter pad::  CMO: Ready.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: I know.  But there is no need to take risks with that.  If, and it's a big if, but if we're out of phase and they simply float through the bulkheads, that air won't help.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
<MO Rhapsody> ::Nods:: CMO: Ready to go, ma'am!! ::Smiles brightly:: This is all so exciting, isn't it?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Understood.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Rhapsody: Good to see you again.

Host JonB says:
<aFCO>  CO: Sir, I think I just damaged the station hull a little.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aFCO: At least it shows we are in sync with them.  But why are we seemingly not affected?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Rhapsody: EVA suits, they always made me feel like I was an alien.

Host JonB says:
<aFCO>  CO: I don't know, sir,  I just fly the ship.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
<MO Rhapsody> CNS: It's good to see you again too! I haven't seen you in quite a while...The Doctor is such a slave driver sometimes...keeps me in sickbay. I need to get out more.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Rolls her eyes and steps onto the pad.:: *CO*: Ready to beam over whenever you are.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Rhapsody: We should go out but, right now, I don't think there's anyplace to take you.  Everything looks definitely 'closed'.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CMO*: Acknowledged.
OPS: Beam the team over to Station Transporter rooms.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
<MO Rhapsody> ::Giggles a little and waits for the transporter to start::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Standing still on transporter pad::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::she orders a beam out of the team to the Station Transporter Rooms::

ACTION: The Transporter Chief requests a brief delay to allow for a level 4 diagnostic to be run before activating the Transporters.
