Ship's Log, Stardate 11811.25, Captain Ayidee recording.  The Lateot ship has been repaired as far as we can given the matter/ anti-matter situation.  Now we come to the point of trying to figure out how to get them back home.

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

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
::on the bridge::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::On Bridge, monitoring the planning moving forward.::  *All*: Any ideas on how we can inject the sort of power they need for the jump home?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::on the Bridge, checking the status on the power allocations and systems status::

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
CO: Don't know, I'm still trying to calculate just how much power they'll need.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Cannot say that with exactitude... but so far I could say, we need to be extremely creative in order to replicate that huge amount of energy.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::on Bridge, at her post.::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
::On the bridge in his place::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CIV/ CEO: Understood.  That kind of power is beyond what we normally deal with.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Did you get a chance to get to know a bit about them the past few days?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Maybe we should target to recreate the event that created the energy instead of focusing to gather that amount of power... trigger the reaction and let it act by itself, in other words.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CIV: So plot a course that sends their portal through a stellar event of that sort?

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CO: I've learned mostly of their politics and the running of their business', which is basically the same thing.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: That's a huge start getting to understand a people.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Indeed. Recreate the origin of the event and let the forces of nature act by themselves.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Do you think that could work, Lieutenant?

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
CO: It's probably the best chance we have. Otherwise we'd need enough power to stay at warp 9.975 for 100 days.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO/ CIV: Then we need to calculate how much power, find a source to replicate that and then make sure they are on course and on target.  That sounds workable and well within our capabilities I think.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO/CEO: A lot of work, but doable. I would recommend to start working on this as soon as possible.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO/ CIV: Work with Astrometrics.  If you need a more advanced computer to work these calculations let me know and I'll try and get a Nova or Intrepid class in.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO/CEO: Aye.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: In their government, anything you find particularly interesting?  Good or bad?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: We should put the computer to perform a new analysis on all the data provided by the aliens. This time focusing on two variables. Time and flight sensors reports. We should be able to identify what we need.

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
CIV: Good idea. ::moves to the science console and does just that::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CO: I think business CEO's running their world is interesting.  For good or bad I'd need to see it for myself to know for sure but  since that isn't possible I'll have to go with what I know.  It seems to work for them but, my knowledge is rather one sided.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Their CEOs actually run the government?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::approaches to the science console and awaits for the result::

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
All: Not too different from how the Ferengi used to be.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CO: All the big bosses make up congress.  I'm sure there is some sort of chain of command within the government.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::the computer beeps:: CEO: Look at that. ::Raises and eyebrow:: It seems that the cause of their accident was their ship hit a cosmic string during the jump.

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
::nods:: CIV: I found a pulsar with a similar amount of energy, about 3 LY away. I'm trying to calculate a jump to send them through it.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: Understood.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CO: I would have liked to try anti-matter cuisine but, it would surely disagree with me.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Interesting.  Hopefully I'll get a chance to look over their system.  But yes, "disagree with you" would be an understatement.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: At least that is some good news. Some ground to start planning something.

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
::peering at the console, impatient::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: Patience, lieutenant, these are complex calculations.

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
::grumbles a bit, but then:: All: Got something! Plotted a course with a 99.98% chance of safe arrival.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::hears the computer beep:: CEO: There you go. ::looks at the screen::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO/ CIV: Good work.  Let's let them know we have a solution.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: I would feel safer with a 100% chance... but I guess 99.98% is more than acceptable considering the situation.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
COM: Maxwet: Captain, Chief Truss and Captain Marek have found what seems to be a viable way to get you home.  A jump through a pulsar to push you further.  Our calculations give it a 99.98% chance of getting you there at this point.

Host Maxwet says:
@COM: Cherokee: Good news Captain.  Can you send the calculations over so we can take a look?  We've been trying to plot a course, we haven't been able to find anything close to that from this distance.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO/ CIV: Can you send over the calculations?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Immediately sir.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::taps on the console::

Host Maxwet says:
@::Receives the information.::  COM: Cherokee: Thank you.  Let's see...

ACTION: On screen the other ship's techs, scientists and pilots are seen looking over the data.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<Lateot Pilot> @Maxwet: Sir, this looks good.  I think.  Our sensors can't corroborate these numbers, they just aren't capable of it.  But It looks good.

Host Maxwet says:
@COM: Cherokee: Then it looks like we may have a solution here.  We will plot the course and the we get in place and make this work.
