The USS Cherokee is still trying to figure out what is happening in New Cauldron.  A contingent of representatives from the groups involved are readty to Transport over to the ship to try and work out a plan.

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

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::on the Bridge with the rest of the Staff... concentrated on the science station screen::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::On Bridge, getting ready to head to the Physics Lab, still monitoring the data from the probes we sent out.::  All: From what the probe scans are showing, it appears the Wormhole is losing power, for lack of a better word.  Getting less active as time progresses.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
SO: Some space vitamins, perhaps?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::realizes he must stop trying to make jokes...::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::Laughs.::  CIV: Not the most journal worthy way to put it, but a good analogy I think.  Whatever gave it the power to form and jump around like it was, dimensionally speaking, seems to have stopped and it is running out of momentum.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  Captain, I'll be taking the science team to deck 4's Science Lab 3 has been designated our teams lab for this mission, we'll have security escort the Cardassians there to keep them away from the Bridge ::grins::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
CEO: Thank you.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
TO:  Lieutenant LVor, will you see that this occurs, the Cardassians will be beaming over shortly.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::Hears the CEO and hands Science station 1 to a replacement before turning towards the Turbolift.::

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
SO: Well, it is a start. If we are able to, at least, maintain it on its present state, we could figure out on how to use it to restore the sector to its normality.

TO_Lt_LVor says:
CEO:  Aye Sir, I have a team assigned already, they are in the transporter room.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CIV: Eventually that would be ideal.  For now, I'd just like to know why the sector is like it is.  And what caused the wormhole to "dance" like that.  Actually a lot of things here I'd like to know.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CIV/SO:  Captain Marek and Lieutenant Trix, would you join me in Science Lab 3, on deck 4 at your earliest convenience?  ::Looks over at the Turbolift, and starts walking towards the TL Doors::

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
SO: It would be wise to first stabilize the wormhole. Then it will be the right moment to start questioning things.

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
CEO: Of course!

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CEO: Yes Sir.
CIV: Agreed, I may be jumping the gun to think that "acting less active" means "winding down".

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
SO:: After you. ::walks toward the Turbolift after the SO::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::Heads into the Turbolift.::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
CEO: I'll come check on your progress in a while.  Any troubles, let me know.

ACTION: The Cardassian Station, the New Cauldron colony and the Betazoid colony all indicate they are ready to send their representatives aboard.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  Thank you Sir!

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
CO: The representatives of each factor are ready to beam over, Sir.

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
::feels the TL humming as it moves towards its destination::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::in the TL heading to deck 4::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
All: Well, I was hoping on the trip here I'd get a chance to study what makes this system different.  Guess it really is dangerous to get one's wish.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
OPS: Thank you, Ensign.  We'll let Commander Hull coordinate their arrivals.

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::The TL arrives at Deck 4, the doors open, Isaac leads his shipmates to Science Lab 3::

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
SO: Well, the important thing is how you approach your wish when it comes true. You really make a good use of it or not.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::Steps out of the lift and to the Science Lab.::  CIV: Yes sir, but having dimensional travelers, unintentional ones at that, isn't what I'd call "ideal conditions for study."

TO_Lt_LVor says:
<Transporter Chief> ::Receiving transporter protocol from the Cardassian Space Station, requesting beaming aboard x3, the transporter pads handshake, and the Cardassian and Cherokee transporter interlock, and beaming begins::

TO_Lt_LVor says:
::Two Security Officers stand ready to escort the Cardassian Science team to Commander Hulls Team in Science Lab 3::

Host C_SO_Grital says:
::Materializes on the Cherokee.::  All: So this is what Federation technology looks like.  Interesting.
Transporter Chief: Glinn Grital, of the Cardassian Science Academy, here to offer my services.

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
SO: Nods:: Quite an extreme example, but the analogy still stands.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Entering Science Lab 3, Isaac picks a chair at the head of the small conference table in the room::

TO_Lt_LVor says:
<Transporter Chief>:: Confirming that materialization was completed without incident to the Cardassian Space Station, who electronically acknowledged::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::Steps in and logs into the main console, setting up open access to all project materials.::  CEO: Console is linked to what we have on the system, and is "open access" to that, and only that, information.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CEO/ CIV: We will maintain control over sensors and probe alignment, of course.

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
SO: Acknowledged.

TO_Lt_LVor says:
<Tactical Officer> C_SO_Grital:  Sir!  Welcome aboard the USS Cherokee, if you will follow me, we will escort you to Commander Hulls Science team.

Host C_SO_Grital says:
::Nods curtly to Lieutenant LVor and follows.::

TO_Lt_LVor says:
::Walking the group to the nearest TL to deck 4::

TO_Lt_LVor says:
::Inviting the group into the TL, the group enters, and the TL doors swoosh close and lifts the group to Deck 4::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CEO: I'd like to put our readings on the Wormhole on that monitor there, so we can keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn't flare up again.

TO_Lt_LVor says:
::The TL arrives on Deck 4, and TO Lvor leads the way to Science Lab 3::

TO_Lt_LVor says:
::Arriving, TO Lvor stands in the doorway so the doors remain open::  CEO:  Commander Hull, C_SO_Grital and associates have arrived.
 
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
TO:  ::Stands and greets the Cardassian Science Officers::  Thank you Lt. LVor!  ::Walks towards the Cardassian Party::

Host C_SO_Grital says:
::Steps into the room and looks about.::  All: Greetings, I am Glinn Grital.  Gul Orvek thought I would be best suited to assist you.  I am an astrophysicist, as close as we can get to a dimensional travel expert on short notice.

Host C_SO_Grital says:
All: My aides are Vorteck and Gneaway, a minerologist and an engineer.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
C_SO_Grital:  A pleasure to meet you, may I introduce our mission team, I am Lieutenant Commander Hull, Mission lead, also may I introduce, Captain Marek and Lieutenant Trix

ACTION: A Betazoid and a human are also led to the room, introduced as Reefraron Barr and Elizabeth Cantrip.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::Nods to the new arrivals.::  All: Welcome to the Cherokee.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Nods at Vorteck and Gneaway::  All:  Gentlemen, if we could sit at the conference table we can go around and brief each other on our status, and where we are as a team.

Host C_SO_Grital says:
<Elizabeth> All: Greetings from New Cauldron.

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
CO: So, how's Fred, Sir?

Host C_SO_Grital says:
::Nods and takes a seat.::  CEO: So far, we have been trying to discover just what we can see.  But unfortunately, our sensor arrays were limited by necessity.  The station was scheduled to relocate so all non essentials were relocated to the promenade or further in.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
OPS: He's fine.  He is taking to training quite well.  Any time you want to spend time with him, just ask.  He'd love to see you.

Host C_SO_Grital says:
<Elizabeth> ::As she sits.::  All: I really don't know what is happening.  Our science is really limited to mining operations, with a few specialists to fill emergency needs.

Host C_SO_Grital says:
<Reefraron> All: While our colony has a science contingent, only I was in the area affected so a Chemist will have to do here, I'm afraid.

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
CO: Yes, Sir.  I'd like that too.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
C_SO_Grital:  Understood, and thank you for your assistance, we have launched a myriad of class 8 probes used for scanning for galactic particles and such, Lieutenant Trix started receiving some very promising data on Quantum data, which would lead us to believe that there is a multi-dimensional wormhole nearby.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
Elizabeth/Reefraron:  Yes, thank you both for being here, your participation is of value, if just a set of eyes, you can report back to the colony leaders of our progress.

Host C_SO_Grital says:
CEO: Well that would explain how multiple jumps happened.  Won't answer the why it happened, but answers the how at least. Is that what is on the display there?

Host C_SO_Grital says:
<Elizabeth/ Reefraron> ::Both nod.::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
C_SO: Yes it is, we are monitoring it in case it regains its power.  It seems to be dissipating on its own, however.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Looking over at one of the science consoles::  C_SO_Grital:  Our Physics Department Head will be joining us shortly, her name is Lieutenant Alec, we will have her entire department at our disposal, not to mention all of Starfleet.  Can we expect assistance from the Cardassian Union's Physics as well? 

Host C_SO_Grital says:
All: Impressive discovery.  I wasn't aware the Federation had this type of capability.
CEO: We would, if they would answer my inquiries.  Unfortunately knowing we are in a different dimension does not allow me to easily cross that boundary to establish contact with my people.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
C_SO_Grital:  I was hoping that you had communications, by some fashion or manner with talking with home, Hopeful thinking at the very least, so what we have here locally, is what we have, plus Starfleet via subspace.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
C_SO: But even without that, the sensor capabilities of a Nor class station, assuming they are similar to the ones here, would really help.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
TO:  Lt. you are your team member can be dismissed.

Host C_SO_Grital says:
CEO/ SO: We will do what we can to assist, of course.
