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

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Exiting Starbase Transporter Room, walking to the Briefing.::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::follows the rest of the staff towards the Admiral's office::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
::Walking with CO::

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
::walks along with the rest of the crew::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::with the others::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Enters Briefing Room and glances about before finding a seat.::  Adm Skalic: Anywhere you want us to sit or just pick one?

Adm_Skalic says:
All: Sit where you wish.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Takes the seat in front of him.::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::sits down in an empty seat::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
::Sits::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::looks for an empty seat and waits for the rest to sit down::

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
::sits by himself in the back::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: What do you need to know Admiral?

Adm_Skalic says:
All: Plenty. But right now you're needed to deal with this new development, so there's no time. For now I'll just say good job.

Host_Adm_Murphy says:
::Walks into the room.::  All: As Admiral Skalic just said, we have a situation that needs to be dealt with here.  The Cherokee is the only ship available right now so you are going right back out there.

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
Murphy: What do you need us to do, sir?

Host_Adm_Murphy says:
All: We need someone to go take a look and see what is there.  We detected a burst in neutrinos, then detected what appeared to be a Matter/ Anti Matter reaction that has slowed down, but is still going on.  We need to know what it is.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::thinks:: In harm's way again... the life of a federation officer... and we love doing it.

Host_Adm_Murphy says:
All: I have transferred a few extra Science Officers to your crew, all we have time for at the moment.  We will be a bit over crowded for now but should not over burden the ship's capabilities.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Murphy: Understood Admiral.  Is this the anomaly and alarm that went off before we beamed over?  And can we get a location?

Host_Adm_Murphy says:
CO: Yes Captain.  It is about 2 light years out, deep space, coordinates have been sent to your Bridge.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Murphy: Yes Admiral, we'll get back to the ship and get underway as quickly as possible.  ::Rises.::

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
::stands::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Let's get back, we have work to do.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::stands::

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
Quietly to self: And here I was hoping we could stop for tacos.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::seemed a rather short briefing:: ::stands up::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
::Makes his way back to the Cherokee with the others::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Returns to the Transporter Room.::  CIV/ CEO: When we get back work with Science to get as much sensor data as we can on the anomaly until we get there.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: ::taps on a PADD:: Understood sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Once we are underway and we have what we need in place for the sensors, the new staff will need quarters.

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
CO: Yes sir.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::follows the others back to the Cherokee::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: For now just keep an eye on things, I know this isn't an area in your normal Bailiwick, but if you have input just let it out.
::Steps up on the Transporter pad and nods to the officer.::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CO: Aye, Sir... whatever a bailiwick is.

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
<Transporter officer> ::energizes::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::as he dematerializes:: CO: Captain.. what does bailiwick mea...

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::nods as she steps on the transporter pad::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CIV: Area of expertise.  Not a big deal right now.  For right now we need to get under way.
::Makes his way back to the Bridge.::  *Bridge*: We're on our way back, get the ship permission to depart.  Do we have coordinates from Starfleet yet?

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
::goes quickly to the bridge once he is back aboard Cherokee::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<OOD> *CO*: Aye sir, Coordinates and course laid in, ship is preparing for departure as per the Admiral's Orders.  Permission is granted as soon as we are ready.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*OOD*: Very good, we'll be up shortly.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::quickly returns to the Bridge::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Enters Turbolift and returns to the Bridge.::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::Rematerializes and heads to the Bridge::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
::On the bridge, Wally takes his seat, left of the CO's::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Exits the Turbolift onto the Bridge.::  All: Let's get ready to depart.

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
::goes to the science station... locking out certain files and functions... just in case the new SOs try something funny::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::exits Turbolift and heads for her post::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Long range sensors on the coordinates, get probes prepared for when we are in range.

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
::taps in a few more commands:: CO: Probes ready, captain.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<aFCO> CO: Course laid in, Admiral's Orders are maximum Warp, ETA 3 hours to anomaly.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aFCO: Understood.
All: Is the ship ready to depart?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::taps some command on his console, linking tactical and science sensors::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  We got clearance to leave. Ready on your command.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aFCO:Depart station and lay in course.  Maximum Warp once clear.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<aFCO> CO: Aye Captain.  ::Begins departing station.::

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
CO: So where are our new guests?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Science crew reported their arrival.  They are in the labs getting up to speed until they get quarters assigned.

ACTION: The ship departs station and begins the trip out of the Solar System.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO: I've assigned them quarters close to each other.

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
Ops/CO: I suggest keeping an eye on them.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CEO:  Naturally.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: We can do that, but for now we have a job to do.  We have 3 hours to prepare for whatever awaits us.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CEO: Is there a reason for your... suspicions toward the new science officers, Lieutenant?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::reads some abnormal data on the sensor data:: CO: Captain, the LRS grid has picked some data consistent with a Matter/Antimatter reaction.. and early signs of a wormhole opening recently on the designated coordinates.

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
CNS: I honestly wonder why they are here at all. We have plenty scientific knowledge and equipment of our own.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CIV: Any sign of where the Anti Matter is coming from?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Not enough data yet sir… working on that.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CEO: I guess, as this is a science mission, an anomaly no one knows about, the Admiral thought the more heads he could put on this mission the better.

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
::shrugs and returns his attention to the science console::

ACTION: LRS pick up signs of a large vessel in the area, The Matter/ Anti Matter reactions appear to be focused around its active, powerful shielding.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Captain, sensors picked the origin of the reaction. It appears to be the shielding of a large vessel at the same coordinates where the reaction was detected.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CIV: A vessel?  Are its fuel reserves leaking?  Can we tell if the ship is the source of the Anti matter?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Hard to tell, Captain. The exact nature of the reaction cannot be determined at this range.. we need to get a bit closer.

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
CO: Captain, I just detected a spike in the energy levels, but it was very brief.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Understood.  Hopefully we will be in range soon enough to be able to see what is happening.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  After that last spike, I detected a brief message.  It's 5 seconds long and it repeated over that 30 seconds.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO/OPS: An attempt of communication... obviously.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
OPS: What did the message say?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  The message cannot be translated but the Universal Translator is working on it.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Prioritize resources to the Translator.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO: Of course, already got it in the works.
