Ship's Log, Stardate 11708.06, Captain Ayidee recording.  The Earhart has been found and efforts are being made to learn what happened to the ship and the crew.

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

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::On the Earhart, trying to help the repair efforts so the investigation can start.  Trying to assist the crews working the cargo bays.::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::At the command console on the bridge attempting to access the ships logs::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::with others on the Earhart bridge::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Waiting for them to fix the power needed to get the Cargo Bay doors open::  CO/EO Arc: It shouldn't be much longer.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::trying to access the memory banks from the operations console::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<EO Arc> CNS: Correct sir.  According to the reports power should be coming to these systems in a few moments.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
EO: That is good news.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<EO Arc> CNS: There we go.  Should work.  ::Hits the door button to open the doors.::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: any progress? the memory banks seem to have suffer a mayor damage.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
EO: Good job.  ::Enters the Cargo Bay::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Walks in and heads to the nearest work station.::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CIV: I'm having trouble accessing the ship’s logs.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: It seems the power surge scrambled all the protocols and the data as well.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<EO Arc> *Engineering teams*: We got in the cargo bays, I'll be headed to the computer core as soon as I can.  Keep running the repairs as best you can.

ACTION: The Cargo Bay is full of large blue containers.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CIV: Do we know anyone that is better with computer codes than I am?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Examines one of the containers::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: You are looking at it...

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Any chance of the medicine having survived the last few weeks or is it perishable?  ::Pulls Tricorder and moves to a container.::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: just a bad joke. Lieutenant.  But we need to make our best effort and retrieve those logs.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: I'm checking now, Sir.  ::Pauses and looks for an expiration date::  CO: It's still viable, Sir, and by the looks of things, I'd say it was all here.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CIV: Not so much a joke as you think. I admit that I'm better with a betlh’eth than I am with computer systems

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Which eliminates the thought that perhaps the ship's disappearance was an enemy of Zolarian Prime trying to take the treatment.  But the big question remains "Where are they?"

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::moves to the command console:: CTO: let's see ...

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*OPS*: Have teams prepare space for the medicine.  It appears to still be here and I'd rather have it aboard our ship instead of here.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Steps aside for Marek to work something out::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<EO Arc> CO/ CNS: Sirs, permission to move on to the Computer core?  The other guys working on it are a bit less computer systems and a bit more damage control and power systems.  If I don't get to them soon someone is going to try and reboot them with a hammer.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Closes up the container::  EO: Thanks for your help.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
EO: Get to it, rather have you at your expertise.  I can count beans, or medicinal containers, at least as well.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::tries all his tricks on the recovery::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
*CO*:  Aye Captain.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<EO Arc> CO/ CNS: If you need anything more let me know.  ::Turns and heads for the Computer core to assist repairs.::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she contacts her trusted assistant to make sure there was the necessary space for the medicinal cargo plus added space as a buffer should it be needed.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Finds a phaser lying on the floor and picks it up.  He examines it and then, tries to fire it::  CO: Hey look, even their phasers were shorted out.  ::Puts the phaser back on the floor::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Yet another question to be answered.  Most of the systems on board have shielding to provide some shielding against this kind of failure.  EMPs, most power overloads, that sort of things.  But this attack bypassed or over loaded them.  Without overloading the biological components, assuming the crew evacuated or left.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: maybe this algorithm will do the trick... ::points the equation on his PADD then enters it on the computer::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Who knows what kind of technology they have in the Gamma Quadrant?  So, where should we go next?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she received word from her assistant saying that the space was already cleared and ready for the medicinal cargo.::  *CO*:  The space was already cleared and plus an additional space buffer just in case.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Watches the CIV anxiously hoping that something happens::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: How does that funny human saying go? ... ah yes... cross your fingers, Lieutenant... ::presses enter to submit the full algorithm::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*OPS*: Excellent.  Hoping we can find a way to ease the planetary suffering there.
CNS: Now that we know this is secure, let's leave this to you.  In an emergency, where would crew gather?  We have people on the Bridge, but where else?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
*CO*:  I'm sure they would appreciate our efforts to ease that suffering.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Well, it could be several places, Captain could have called for general quarters or if everything was damaged they'd go where they had to fix things in order to be on their way or the bridge to command the ship.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CIV: I think I might check out the Shuttlebay. Certainly one of the shuttles must have some information that could help.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Yes, the Bridge would be fully staffed, but there are a few other locations.  Main Engineering and Sickbay perhaps?  Especially if there were injuries before the crew disappeared?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: Acknowledged, Lieutenant.. Proceed.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Exits the bridge to head off for the shuttle bay.::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::it is a bit frustrated on the computer not letting him to access the logs::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: I've observed no blood on the carpets.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Arrives at the main Shuttlebay and steps inside::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Nor have I, nor smelled any signs.  But not all health threats have such external signs.  I'd say it worth look at least.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Okay.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Turns and heads towards Sickbay.::

ACTION: The Shuttlebay is full.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Self: So, they didn't escape by shuttlecraft.  ::Climbs into the nearest shuttle and tries to power up the computer::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Follows CO:: CO: I don't get it.  If the power was out, how could anyone make a log entry recording?

ACTION: The shuttlecraft are all dead.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Not of the event itself, but the events leading up to it.  Sensor logs would have details on some of what happened, until the shut down at least.  To be honest it isn't answers we are looking for but clues.  At least in the logs.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Pounds his fist into the bulkhead:: Self: I should have known.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
*CIV*: Sir, the shuttles have suffered the same fate as the ship itself, I'm afraid they're not going to help.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
*CTO*: Understood. Seems what causes it did it a good job.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
:: some files open on the console screen, some status and general reports::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
*CTO*: I think I did some progress here, nothing important so far, but at least is some progress..

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
*CIV* Well since I'm worse than useless here, I’ll be returning to the bridge.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Reaches Sickbay and steps inside.::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
*CIV*: Acknowledged.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::continues on the path he took to open those files::

ACTION: Sickbay is empty.  Several medical items, a tricorder, an instrument tray etc, are scattered around on the floor.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Here is something, subtle but a sign that they were caught somewhat off guard.  Medical Staff are trained to not leave things lying about when not in use, yes?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Heads back to the bridge::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Yes.  I've noticed other things just left on the ground, like that phaser I found in the Cargo Bay.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::regular reports.. maintenance... transfers... nothing regarding the mysterious event that left the Earhart at drift and without crew;;

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Thinks for a moment.::  CNS: Transport?  But programmed to not take gear, just the target and their clothing?  Hmm, clues are certainly not answers...
