Ship's Log, Stardate 11708.13, Captain Ayidee recording.  The repairs continue as we search for answers as to what happened to the Earhart and the other missing ships in the area.

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

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::On Earhart, moving about the ship trying to assist the repairs.  Currently at the Navigational Deflector Array.:

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Still on the bridge with Mr. Marek trying to make sense of anything.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Wandering around the ship looking for clues::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::trying to find clues to how this ship was damages and why.::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Goes to the engineering console and looks up the transporter logs::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::still struggling with the computer records when.. voilà, they seem to be accessible::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
*All*: Good new, I think I am about to finally access all the ship's logs. I will keep you all updated.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Hears CIV's announcement and begins to make his way to the bridge::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Working to access the Main Sensor Array logs behind the Deflector.  Putting them through a level 3 diagnostic before the next attempt.::
*CIV*: Good work.  Attempting to restore access to the Main Sensor through the Deflector Dish.  This is like carving an intricate piece of sculpture, every step you move forward suddenly pales at the next realization of what remains.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Arrives on the bridge:: CIV: So, how's it going?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
*CO*: Acknowledged, Captain.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: Good news. ::keep pressing buttons and entering equation:: We are almost there, Ensign.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: Slowly.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<EO_Demler> CO: Sir, I suggest we put this through a level two diagnositc instead.  Just to ensure that we didn’t miss anything.  Well, any more anythings.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CIV: Cool, are we just waiting for the Captain?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: What are you doing?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: Yes. ::cold answer, he is focused on the screen.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
EO_Demler: Very well, get that started then and let me know when you think we are ready to proceed Ensign Demler.  I'll be on the Bridge.  ::Turns and heads for the Bridge.::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: Watching Mister Marek.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Oh. ::Watches Mister Marek too::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: Have the medicinal supplies been transferred to the Cherokee?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: I believe so.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::perceives both the CTO and CNS observing him::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
OPS: Are the crates of medicine on the Cherokee?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS: Everything has been received.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Climbs quickly to the Bridge, not wanting to let the crews work on the Turbolifts.  Enters the Bridge.::  All: How are we proceeding?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: I believe the Earth saying would be "like molasses in January".

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: I think Captain Marek is close.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::taps on the console:: All: Gentlemen. I finally accessed the logs archives. According to the computer the last entry to duty logs was on Stardate 11706.24. ::raises an eyebrow:: Only seven week ago. ::turns his head towards the rest of the crew::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
All: That must have been the day whatever happened, happened.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: The Main Sensor Dish logs should be available soon.  The Engineer wants to run a level 2 diagnostic based on all the damage we've seen so far.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CIV: So that gives us a when, but we still need a what.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CIV: Any mention in them of any unusual occurrences?  Ships, natural anomalies, that sort of thing?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
All: Let's play the ones for that day.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: let me check, sir.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::taps on the console and brings the logs on screen::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS/ CIV: Or what the Counselor suggested.  Give us a break from the circuits.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CIV: Okay, start 'em up.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: here they are.

<Chief Medical Officer Mary Morgan's Log - Stardate 11706.24> The anti-virus serum is tucked away safely in our cargo bay.  It will counteract the virus infecting the Zolarian people.  The virus causes high fever, cold sweats and very painful cysts to appear on the skin.  The treatment will consist of two cubic centimeters of the RotaTeq vaccine by intramuscular injection to the gluteus maximus.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Self: Ouch.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: Does that mean they stab them in the SaHut?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: No, even worse, in the butt.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: That is what I said.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CIV: Play the next one.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: A small pain now to stop a longer, chronic pain.  But yes, that is a fairly routine entry.  Just forward it to our Sickbay.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: Aye. ::presses a yellow button and the next log appears on screen::

<Captain Jaden O'Rourke's Log - Stardate 11706.24> We are twelve days from the Bajoran wormhole holding steady at warp six.  All departments have checked in and I'm pleased to say, there are no major problems.  We expect to reach Zolarian Prime in just a few days.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: That doesn't help much.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: Very ... casual and optimistic logs. Apparently they were on a safe routine travel.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Agreed.  I've made a similar entry more times than I can count.  But to be honest, I've made that more times than I can count on days that did not go "with no major problems".

<Chief Operations Officer Miley Cash's Log 11706.24> Our Cargo Bay is full to capacity with medicine for the Zolarians.  My department has run full diagnostics on all systems and everything checks out within normal parameters.  I've communicated with the Department of Medical Health on Zolarian Prime.  They are anxiously awaiting our arrival and wished us an expedient but, safe journey.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
ALL: Perhaps we will have to wait for the sensor logs to find out what happened.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CIV: Next.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::presses again::

<Chief Tactical Officer Vin's log 11706.24> My team needed something to do.  All this travel time leaves them restless.  I had them running drills all morning.  I'll be putting them through hell in the gym this afternoon with the workout I'm planning for them.  They'll all sleep well…  Wait.  What's this?  I'm picking up a very strange reading.  I'll have to get back to you.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
ALL: QaplaH.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: That didn't sound good.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: That at least gives us a time frame for the sensors.  Mark it for when we get access.

Action: All lights return to the Earhart.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Done, sir. ::saves it to another allocation on the memory banks.::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: that was the last log recorded that day,

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CIV: That gives us a start at least.  And as said before, a date and time to look at.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Looks around as the lights all come on.:: ALL: Does this mean the Earhart is back up and running?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: will do a data comparison sir, trying to see if that data finally lead us to a solution.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Get a team looking at the Communication Relay logs to see if there is any communication around that date and time.  Whether from the Earhart or other ships.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::while walking around on the Bridge, trying to make sense of this situation, she stretches her entire body upward them reaches down to touch her toes at the furthest point, she notices something intriguing leaning against the XO's chair.::  ALL:  Look at the base of the XO's chair, there is something leaning against it.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Already got a team on that, Captain.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Goes to see what OPS found::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Looks to see what OPS has found::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
ALL:  It appears to be some sort of portable audio/video recording device.

INFO: Upon examination, you discover the recorder has been recently damaged and then, repaired.
The audio/video recorder is operational.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: fascinating!

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
OPS: Home movies?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CTO:  One way to find out, let's see if we can access it.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
OPS: Yes, lets.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: See if you can.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she picks up the recording device and activates it.:: ALL: There appears to be a log on this device.  ::syncs it to the ships systems and choses the first logs.::

<From the last log entry of CEO, Lieutenant Lexxa.>: I don't know what they hit us with, some kind of very strong electrical surge. I believe it was some kind of technology that uses the power of our own shielding systems, causing a kind of electrical backward surge in our circuits. Attacked by our own shields.  It knocked everything out and I do mean everything.  We just barely got life support back in time.  Everything will need replacing.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
All: Now we're getting some answers.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: Regrettably not as specific as we need but still it is a progress.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*Cherokee*: Drop shields but maintain Yellow Alert.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
OPS: Play the next one.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::does as asked::

<From the last log entry of FCO, Ensign Thomas Hunter.>: They just took Nancy.  That's Nurse Nancy Jennings, my girlfriend.  She's gone.  Those ugly bastards.  Where are they taking everybody?  They know what they're doing.  They took all the engineers right away.  This ship isn't going anywhere.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
ALL: It's obvious now that they were attacked.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: And they're taking the crew alive.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::suddenly gets concerned for the Cherokee,::  ALL:  Let's solve this before they come back and does the same thing to the Cherokee.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: We can use the Tractor Beams to start the trip back home.  Will be tough to get to Warp like that but if we can get the ship repaired, perhaps skeleton crew it back.
