Ship's Log, Stardate 11701.08.  During our trip to deliver the artifacts to Research Station 82 the station has suffered some sort of disaster.  We are in the midst of figuring out exactly what happened now.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
*Cherokee*: Q'ten to Cherokee, what's going on up there?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::stands up::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::On station, trying to figure out what just happened.::

CMO-McIntyre says:
::looks around in the dark and is wondering just exactly what has happened::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Turns on his flashlight::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: it is obvious that the Station suffered a hit.  ::raises an eyebrow::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
ALL: Is everyone okay?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@<OOD>: *CTO*: No details yet sir but it looks like one of the ships in orbit just had some sort of malfunction and rammed into the station.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::looking around wondering what is going on this time.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO/CTO: Emergency lights should kick in any second now.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
*OOD*: What ship?

ACTION: Alarms start going off, taking the station to alert.  The Red and Yellow Alert flashers are going off in unison.  Emergency lights are coming on.

CMO-McIntyre says:
CTO/CNS:  Just confused.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@<OOD>: *CTO*: Small freighter, no name, transponder ID A4358764.  Registered as a delivery vessel.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: I think we were rear ended.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: Sir, Cherokee reports that a ship in orbit just rammed the station.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
*OOD*: Casualties?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: Nice... a malfunctioning vessel...

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<Friedheim> ::Moves to console and contacts Operations.::  *Station OPS*: What happened, and is that alert status accurate?

CMO-McIntyre says:
CNS It could have been worse, they could have come through the middle of the station.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<Station OPS> *Friedheim*: Power down through the lower sections of the station, including thrusters.  Initiating repairs and putting Operation TOW into effect.  Expect to have it under control in time.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<Trix> All: TOW?  On my way to the Newton.

CMO-McIntyre says:
CTO:  In time?  :wonders how much time they are talking about::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: That's true.  For now we should probably find the Captain.  Maybe he has orders for us, like if the station needs help.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@<OOD> *CTO*: Reports coming in now, but I would expect several.  Ship has gone to Yellow alert and teams are preparing to assist.

CMO-McIntyre says:
CMO; I hope we won't be needing said help as well.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Friedheim: What is operation TOW?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
*OOD*: Very well. I want all sensor readings of the area since our arrival ready for inspection.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Was it the Newton that hit us?  Who else was in orbit of the station?

Host Friedheim says:
All: We will need help, but for right now we have a pressing need.  Station's engines keep us in a holding pattern from the gravity of the stellar graveyard.  They are down, so our position will be breaking down.  We will need the help of the ship's in the vicinity to help us hold position so we don't fall too far into the well to get trapped.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
*OOD*: Especially concerning the Newton.

Host Friedheim says:
CNS: We have several ship's here, delivering supplies and objects for the projects going on.  But no, if it was the Newton the impact would have been catastrophic.  Not as bad as the Cherokee but close.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: Not sure just yet. It was a small freighter is all we know for sure at the moment.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Then let's get Bridge crew back to the Cherokee to help hold position.  
CMO/CNS: We can start offering medical assistance and sending medical teams over to assist here, or take them back to the Cherokee if you prefer.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Friedheim: I'm hoping it was just an accident.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Friedheim: Is there anyone who would have a reason for sabotaging your work here?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: It's up to you, I'll go where you go.

Host Friedheim says:
CNS/ CTO: Which work?  There are several projects going on, so lots of potential issues.  No active threats we were aware of, so hoping it is just an accident.  Doesn't matter honestly, right now we have to make sure we don't fall too far into the well.

CMO-McIntyre says:
CNS:  We could triage here and then move them if the Captain agrees.

CMO-McIntyre says:
CO:  Captain do we assist injured here or on the Cherokee?

Host Friedheim says:
CMO: If the ship is going to help stabilize the station it isn’t going anywhere.  I leave that call up to you.

ACTION: Small inertial changes are felt as a Tractor beam takes hold of the station from the Newton.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: Sounds like a plan.  Now we just need a specific location to set up triage, preferably close to the injured.

CMO-McIntyre says:
CNS:  I agree, but who is injured and where?

Host Friedheim says:
@<OOD> *CTO/ CO*: Sirs, we have received a request to help stabilize the station.  Warming up the Tractor beams to assist now.  Science reports the station is accelerating slowly towards the stellar graveyard.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*OOD*: Have myself, Commander Nash, Lieutenant Q'ten and Captain Marek transported to the Bridge.  Then have medical teams and available engineering teams beam over to assist the station.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: We should go where the freighter made contact with the station.  The most critical patients should be there.

CMO-McIntyre says:
Friedheim:  What location are the injured in?  The Counselor and I are ready to help.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: Sir I'd like to have a look at that freighter and try to determine just what caused it to suddenly ram the station.

CMO-McIntyre says:
CNS:  I agree, but do we have life support in that section?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: We'll set up as close as we can.

Host Friedheim says:
::Checks panel.::  CMO: Deck 23, section 4 was the impact.  Forcefields have been erected to keep atmosphere.

CMO-McIntyre says:
CNS:  We are up.
Friedheim:  We are on our way.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Understood.
*OOD* Leave the CTO here, beam the rest of us to the ship.

ACTION: CO, OPS and CIV are beamed to the Cherokee Bridge.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Starts making his way to the collision point::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: Let's go to Deck 23 section 4.  Have your team meet us there with supplies and equipment.

CMO-McIntyre says:
CNS:  Let's hope the Turbolift still works.  ::waits for the TL to arrive::

CMO-McIntyre says:
*Sickbay:  This is the CMO, send medical teams to deck 23 section stat.  We have injuries and we do not know to what extent they are injured.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Heads towards the Turbolift:: CMO: I hope this thing works too.

ACTION: Main power comes back on in the section.  Lifts are operational.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@::Arrives on the Bridge.::  OOD: I have the Bridge.  Status report?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
@::materializes aboard the Cherokee::

CMO-McIntyre says:
CNS:  Looks like we are in luck, they are working.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::The Turbolift arrives and he enters::  CMO: Here's our ride.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@<OOD> Tractor Beams coming on line, we have instructions on where to lock on.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@CIV: Would you like to handle the beam controls?  This isn't exactly standard Tractor use here.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@::takes over OPS ::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
*OOD*: Lt Q`ten here. I could use a beam in into the freighter interior.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
@CO: Aye, sir. ::moves over to the tactical station and brings on the control panel on the screen::

CMO-McIntyre says:
CNS:   Looks like we are here, we need to find who needs help and what kind.  You go the left and I will go to the right, ok?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: You got it.  ::Heads left::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
@::performs the proper calculations ::

CMO-McIntyre says:
::goes to the right and finds someone holding their head::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Searches for Sector 4 and injured::

CMO-McIntyre says:
Crewman:  Remove your hand so I can assess the damage please.  ::begins to run her tricorder over it::

CMO-McIntyre says:
Crewman:  You are going to have one heck of a headache but you are fine.  Let me give you something for the pain, then go and rest.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@<OOD> *CTO*: Yes sir, initiating transport.

CMO-McIntyre says:
::begins walking further when she spots another person holding her arm::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@FCO: When the Tractor is initiated increase thrust slowly until we are giving full pull.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
@CO: ready to proceed as needed

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::materializes inside what's left of the freighters bridge and locates the engineering console::

ACTION: Dozens are injured in the area, some from contusions from the impact and some from burns and smoke inhalation.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Runs into some of the Cherokee medical staff and relieves them of one tricorder and one med-kit::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Finds a group of injured and with med-team begins accessing and making treatment plans::

CMO-McIntyre says:
Female:  I am here to help you.  Please let me see your arm.  ::rums the tricorder over it and see there is a clean break in the radius::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@All: Initiate.
OPS: Contact Starfleet, see if any other vessels are in the area to assist.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
@CO: aye sir!

CMO-McIntyre says:
::reaches into her med kit which she always carries with her for the portable bone regenerator::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::she contacts Starfleet to inquire if there are any other vessels are in the area to assist.::

ACTION: Several vessels too small and not equipped with Tractor Beams begin moving from the station's orbit to a safe gathering place.  While obviously not normal operation, the ships know their part in this sort of operation.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Starts downloading computer files with his tricorder, ships logs, manifest, engine controls, everything::

CMO-McIntyre says:
Nurse:  Please send this person over to the Cherokee for an in depth scan.  ::finishes the repair to females arm:::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Finds three cases that can't be treated on the station, as the equipment isn't here::  *OPS*: There are three bodies near my location.  Could you please beam them directly to Sickbay?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
@::keeps an eye over the development of the whole operation::

CMO-McIntyre says:
*Cherokee*:  Please be prepared for incoming wounded as we find them.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Alerts Sickbay of three arrivals::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
*CO*: Captain, this is Q'ten aboard the freighter. Ships records indicate that the pilot, who was the only person on board, beamed to the station itself and left the ship on auto pilot.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@<SO> All: Station's acceleration is slowing down.  The station should be able to stop well short of the point of no return.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@*CNS*:  Will do.  ::beams the destined three individuals to Sickbay.::

CMO-McIntyre says:
*CNS*:  How are you doing over there?

CMO-McIntyre says:
::the nurse sends the young female to the sickbay::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Begins working on a burn victim::  *CMO*: Busy but, it's manageable.  Are you okay?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
@All: emergency evacuation procedures are being executed as expected.

CMO-McIntyre says:
*OPS*:  Please alert sickbay another one is on the way.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@*CTO*: Understood, we will track him down once we have the emergency under control.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
*CO*: Sir, from the age of this vessel, I'm guessing that the automated systems were not up to the task.

CMO-McIntyre says:
::continues walking and discovers another person coughing violently::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
#<Fel Ingfast> COM: Cherokee: This is Captain Ingfast of the Newton.  Was going to try and talk you all through what the plan for this is but you all seem to be doing what the station needs.  Glad you were here.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@*CTO*: Not surprising, many freighters are shoestring operations.

CMO-McIntyre says:
*OPS*:  The is the CMO, beam this man to sickbay with smoke inhalation.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@COM: Ingfast: Doing what we can, Captain.  Appears the station has a plan in place, guessing it never got used before though.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@*CMO*:  Right away.  ::beams the individual to Sickbay.::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
@CO/CTO: However emergency systems should have kicked in if the automated systems of the ship were working incorrectly.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
#<Ingfast> COM: Ayidee: Not as of yet, but giving the station's location had to have a plan in place.  Been updated recently.  Just wish we had a few more ships to help hold.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Checking a laceration on a young man's head, checking for cranial fractures as he uses a tissue generator to close the wound::  Young Man: Well you hit your head pretty hard but you didn’t crack you egg open so, that's the good news.  The bad news is you have a slight concussion.  Stay awake for the next twenty-four hours.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
*CIV*: That's how I see it Mister Marek. Even the most basic automation system should be able to keep a ship in orbit.

Host Friedheim says:
COM: Cherokee/ Newton: We should have station engines up in the next hour or so.  Emergency teams are working to secure other systems but those are secondary.

CMO-McIntyre says:
::runs across several people with minor burns and uses the regenerator to mend them::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
*CO/CIV*: I'll beam over to the ship as soon as I finish downloading the ships computer systems.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@CIV/ *CTO*: Agreed.  We can look into that shortly.  Once we find the pilot we should have a good place to start.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
@CO/*CTO*: Agreed.

CMO-McIntyre says:
*CNS*:  How's it going on your end?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@Security: Let's give the Lieutenant a head start.  See if you can track down the ship's operator.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Next he finds a woman with a dislocated shoulder lying on the floor.  He gets on the floor and braces his feet against the woman's body and grabs her hand::  Woman: This is going to hurt.  ::He pulls hard on the woman's arm until he feels the shoulder snap back into place::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
*CMO*: It's going well.  Mostly bumps and bruises.  A few broken bones...  ::He gives the woman something for the pain::  burns, nothing too bad.  I sent the worse to Sickbay.

CMO-McIntyre says:
*CNS*:  Me too, thank god nothing major here.

ACTION: Station emergency response teams are pulling more wounded into the area.  Mostly walking wounded but there are some serious wounds coming in also.

CMO-McIntyre says:
*CNS*;  We have more arriving.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@<SO> All: Main power is now back on most decks above the point of impact.  Below point of impact saying it is hit and miss would be an overstatement.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Begins knitting a broken leg back together with a bone generator::  *CMO* We're ready here but we're going to need more supplies.

CMO-McIntyre says:
*OPS*:  We need more medical personnel down here please.  And more supplies please.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<Estar>  ::Helping a wounded engineer out of the danger area.::  CNS: Cherokee guy, right?  Thought I wouldn't see you guys again for a bit longer but glad to have you here.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@*CMO*:  Right away.  ::beams the necessary personnel and supplies to the CMO's location.::

CMO-McIntyre says:
Estar:  Bing him here so we can tend to him.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Estar: Mister Estar, nice to see you. ::Helps him bring in the new patient::  Estar: Let's set him down here.  ::Indicates a space on the floor::

CMO-McIntyre says:
*CNS*:  Thanks!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
%<USS Perseus> COM: Cherokee: Perseus to Cherokee, we have received your request for aid and are on our way.  ETA 3 hours at maximum Warp.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<Estar> CNS: Got it.  He was working on restoring the Plasma conduit when there was a secondary surge.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Estar: Are we by any chance in Sector 4?  ::Begins to get a diagnosis from his tricorder::

CMO-McIntyre says:
::continues around the deck looking to see if anyone else is in need::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<Estar> CNS: Sector 5, actually.  Staging the wounded and repair teams here to keep them away from potential after effects.  That hit was hard, could be additional failures coming.  Don't want to injure the help.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Gives patient a hypo to kill the pain::  Estar: Let me start with treating the burns, they can be quite painful.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@COM: Perseus:  Understood.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<Estar> CNS: Served 25 years in the fleet, know that too well.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Tricorder has downloaded the freighters computer files and chirps::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@CO: The USS Perseus is enroute but it will be 3 hours at maximum warp before they could get here.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
*OPS*: Q'ten to Cherokee. I'm ready to beam back to the ship.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@OPS: Thank you.  We will need help clearing this up.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::After cleansing the wound, begins with tissue regeneration::  Estar: Are you okay?  Any injuries?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@CIV: Any suggestions on the investigation?  I'm sure the Station will want lead but not sure how equipped they are for this sort of thing.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@*CTO*:  Right away.  ::beams Q'ten back to the Cherokee.::

CMO-McIntyre says:
::continues to tend to minor injuries::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::materializes on the Cherokee bridge and looks around for Mister Marek::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<Estar> CNS: yeah, I'm fine.  When the lab went dead it was a cold cut off.  Was just starting to look over the dating test to get first results when everything cut out.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
@CTO: Welcome aboard Lieutenant.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
:: Holds the tricorder out for Marek:: CIV: The freighters computer records.  I think after analyzing these readings we should be able to determine what happened.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
@CTO: ::takes the tricorders: I will work on this immediately.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Estar: I don't know what happened but, my friend Q'ten will figure it out.  ::His patient begins to go into shock::  *OPS*: Commander Nash, I need an emergency beam out to Sickbay for the patient currently in front of my location.

ACTION: The patient is beamed to the Cherokee Sickbay.
