The Cherokee is continuing its efforts to find a way to get the unexpected visitors to New Cauldron colony home.  They have just found a way to bring the wormhole at the source to their dimension.

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

ACTION: The probe launched from the Cherokee enters the wormhole as expected and begins transmitting data.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
SO:  Are you receiving telemetry from the probe in the event horizon?

SO_Lt_Trix says:
All: I'm getting sensor readings from the ship's sensors as well, and so far they are matching the probe.  Not sure we need the probes to see what's on the other side.  Identifying the Quantum spin and marking the universe's "location" on the map on monitor 3.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
All: For the record, this is not one of the universes our guests are from.  Detecting vessels of Federation design, so it must be Federation space in this universe.

ACTION: Through the wormhole sensors can detect several mining vessels in the system on the other side.  After a short time, one of them starts moving carefully towards the wormhole.

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
SO: Quite an interesting exercise would be to contact them.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
SO:  At this point, I would agree ::monitoring the deflector shield output, making minor adjustments on the control console::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
::With the research team in the lab.  Looking at the data not sure what it all means::  ALL: What is that guy doing, he's getting close to the wormhole entrance or is it exit?

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  Captain, that is a really good question Sir! 
 
SO_Lt_Trix says:
CO: Technical term is aperture I think, but exit for us and entrance for him.  And the ship does appear to be approaching the opening.

ACTION: As the minor adjustments are made to the shield output, the vessels on the other side of the aperture disappear.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
All:  So we will be allowing another ship and another dimension to come into ours, adding to the dilemma.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Looking at the monitor, seeing that the aperture has closed::

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
*CO*: Sir, I'm picking up a lot of activity from the mining ships on the other side.  They seem to be curious as to what they're seeing.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
*OPS*: Understood, Ensign.  Keep an eye and ear open up there.  I'll be returning to the bridge shortly.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
All: The other end appears to be moving based on the shield frequency adjustments.  The Quantum spin of the new universe is different again, and not matching our guests.  This one appears...empty of ships but...strange, unusual energy readings coming through.  Computer is trying to identify.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CEO: Adjust the frequency, quickly.  Detecting no Warp fields but numerous Transwarp conduits and Borg hive communications!

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
All:  This exercise is futile, we can be here for eternity trying to stumble upon the right mixture on the deflector shield to spark a reaction of the wormhole.  Is there anyway that we can use the sensor data say for the Nor Station and use an algorithm of some sort that would mix the fields in the deflector shield manifold to the correct Cochrane and cause the wormhole to open to the Cardassian dimension?

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Changes the frequency immediately::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CEO: We have their quantum spin, we just need to see how our adjustments affect what dimension we hit.  This one appears to have a Cardassian mining fleet, but of the...variety closer to our modern Cardassian fleets than our visitors.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CEO: But I'm starting to map a relation of the frequency of our field to the quantum spin of the dimension it jumps to.  Putting it on screen 1.  A bit of a pattern showing.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
SO:  We are missing a piece of the puzzle, we have 4 variables, all with a multitude of combinations, which makes me think of the Vulcan IDIC ::looks at Captain Marek:: "Infinite Diversity Infinite Combinations" I can't even think of how many there are!

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
CEO: I could give you a rough number...  zillions. ::smiles::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
ALL:  Even if we use full percentages, Tachyon: 100%  Chronoton: 100%  Graviton: 100%  Cochrans: 100% so if the computer study starts and 100/100/100/0  and then increments the Cochrans to 100, then setting the Gravitons to 0, and then working up to 100, but then each Graviton increase of 1 will need to also increment by 1 of Cochrans. All to 100, then the Graviton increase 1% this would reset the Cochrans to increase again to 100.  We haven't even started on the Chronotons as yet.  This study will take some time, even for the main computer at subspace speed

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CEO: We hit three points already, a few more data points and the computer should be able to make an educated guess I think.  Right now I think just keep adjusting the shield frequency rate and leave the other settings the same.

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
::keeps hearing the both brilliant officers::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
SO:  I will code a program to make the necessary adjustments, tied in with the computer, sensors and deflector dish, it can make the adjustments quicker than I can ::grins::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::Nods.::  CEO: Sounds good.  We can get a quick quantum spin scan, have the computer read it, and adjust to try again.  Should be at most a few seconds at each setting.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Begins coding the computer program that will increment the deflector dish through the ranges of the three fields and the Cochrans, while the sensors and computer monitor the reaction of the wormhole.  This will work, and the program will create a list of mixtures and cochrans from the deflector dish that will give us and our guests a road home to their own dimensions::

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
::feels like an old timer... cannot avoid thinking back on his younger days as a tactical officer, when having a phaser on her hand was all the instrument that he needed to solve a dilemma::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
::As to not disturb his officer's thought processes, he silently slips out of the lab and returns to the bridge::

ACTION: Within moments, the computer suggests settings that should open to the proper universes.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Monitoring the computer's progress, as the list is created::

Host Glinn_Grital says:
All: While this process in intriguing from a scientific standpoint, I am hoping the computer's search goes swiftly.  No offense, but I would prefer to be back in my own quantum spin sooner than later.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
SO/Grital/Marek:  I do believe this is working!  We are receiving suggested mixtures for the deflector shield and field mixtures.

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
CEO/SO: Congrats on a fine investigation process and a perfectly executed plan.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CIV: We're not done yet, let's wait until we know these suggestions work.  And we can use them.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CIV:  Thank you Captain Marek, it was a team effort!

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CEO: I think the honor of inputting the settings goes to you, sir?

CIV_Capt_Marek2 says:
SO: For some reason, I am so confident on the success of this solution.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
SO/CIV/Grital:  Without the 4 of us working together and bouncing ideas off each other, I believe there would have been a different and undesirable outcome, we still have to complete the study, but I'm feeling confident Glinn, you will be home today!

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::nods to the CEO::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CEO: Ready to test the settings?

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
SO: I believe so.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
::On bridge:: OPS: I promised Vedek Baaleen I'd stop by with a progress report.  I don't really have anything to tell him.  I'm not looking forward to it.  They all must be going stir crazy by now.

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
All:  Making the adjustments  Tachyon: 57% Graviton: 20% Chronoton: 87%  Cochranes: 87  firing!

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
FCO: You have the bridge Mister Alvarado.  ::Exits bridge::

ACTION: The Wormhole moves again, this time opening to the Betazoid colony's dimension.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
All: That hit it, the Betazoid colony's dimension.  Test seems a success.

FCO_Lt_Alvarado says:
CO: Aye, sir
FCO_Lt_Alvarado says:
Self : Well, another day in the big chair ...
