The Cherokee crew has figured out how to send the Cardassian Station home, but now work to both find a way to transport the colonists and to see if they can figure out a solution to the system's instability.

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

Host Reefraron_Barr says:
::In the Federation ship's science labs, trying to keep up with all the information flowing about while trying to help figure a way home.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Watches the readings of the deflector field beam as it shuts down after the Retrek Nor returns home::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::In Science Lab with the joint task group, trying to find more information on what is behind the instability in system that led to all these issues.::  All: Well, finding what is behind the instability is taking some time, but where are we on trying to find our guests a ride home?

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
SO:  Lieutenant Trix, that was very interesting about the warp core field of the Nor Space Station itself being a detriment to its own excursion home!  What precautions do you think are needed for our next incursion with the wormhole?

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CEO: Well, I think moving forward everyone, I mean each dimension, will need to be very careful about field strength and frequency.  If we get them through without much field usage, Warp or otherwise, I don't see an issue.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
::In the science lab with the project team::

Host Reefraron_Barr says:
All: A few of our mining ships were carried through with us, but nowhere near enough to transport more than a few dozen people, if we packed them to the rim.  But that's only part of the problem.  Since our homes are now here, we will be without most of our resources when we get home.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
SO:  What do you think about the Cherokee's warp field interfering with the wormhole?

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CEO: We know what not to do, so I don't think we'll have an issue.  But to be safe we can go thrusters only, or maybe limited impulse.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
All: I can understand how a star ship or space station can accidently enter a wormhole but, how did the Betazoid colonists?

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
SO: I concur, we need the warp power for energizing the different fields for the deflector, impulse is not a viable power source for what we are doing.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CO: Well, from the data I can give a theory, although it is tough to test.  Basically the wormhole was moving about and, for lack of a better way to describe it, taking bites of what it hit.  In that case it must have hit the planet and grabbed the homes and a bit of the land about it.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
All:  Yes, I can see that happening, especially the randomness that we saw on our side of the event horizon, and it would describe a great many things that we have seen and learned along the way.

Host Rebecca_Revrand says:
All: There may be a solution to your transport question and to their supply question.

Host Rebecca_Revrand says:
All: The Federation supplied us with the colony pods to help us get started.  What if we used them for the return, and since we can take their buildings and use them, they can take our colony pod supplies.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Revrand: That sound like a good solution and very generous.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO/ Revrand:  That seems like a viable solution for the transporting, but what about on the other side of the wormhole, there will be no one there to take them where they need to go.

Host Reefraron_Barr says:
CEO: Our mining ships could carry them into orbit, at least I think they could.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
Barr:  That would be of great risk to them.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CEO: Problem I see is we don't know conditions are the same on the other side of the wormhole.  If we take the Cherokee through and the means of control have changed, there is at least some risk of the unknown catching us and, well, could cause anything.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
SO:  Yes, we would be actually inserting ourselves into the very problem we are attempting to resolve.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
SO: We're Starfleet, we take risks for a living.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CEO: To be fair, it is dimensional transfer physics.  There is risk to just about anything.  You are probably right though the risk is greater to the colony with just the pods than it would be to us.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
SO/CO/Reverand:  Yes, the pods do have inertial dampeners, structural integrity fields, but they do not have deflector shields, when coupled to the ship, the ship's deflector shields embrace the entire ship's hull and some surrounding space from the hull exterior.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
SO: Yes sir.  Calculated risks, and it is a science officer's job to present those risks to those qualified to weigh them.  Not saying a choice is bad, just making sure we know there is some risk.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
SO: We could solve this problem real quick if the Bajorans and the Betazeds decided to share this planet here.

Host Rebecca_Revrand says:
CO: From what I know of the colony they would be accepted, though.  If they wanted to stay.

Host Reefraron_Barr says:
CO: But our families and lives are back there.  We could live here, yes, but it is not our home.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Barr: As long as you're fully aware of the risk.  You might end up some place worse.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  Well, Sir!  We should make step 1 somewhat of a "no-brainer" we need to get the Betazeds that need to go back through the wormhole, into their newly acquired mission pods.  While that is in progress, Lieutenant Trix and the rest of the engineering team can plan us through to a successful incursion back to the proper Betazed dimension.  

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
CEO: Is there any way of telling how the Cardassians made out?  And first we need to transport those in our mission pod down to the planet here.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CEO: Aye sir.  I think the planning will be more about reacting but we'll be ready.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CO: Scans show they made it through without incident.  When we closed the wormhole they were moving, slowly, back into their desired position in system.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  Captain, there really is not any positive report, just to say that the probe saw the Retrek Nor traverse the wormhole tunnel heading towards the opposite event horizon

Host Rebecca_Revrand says:
CO: My people are ready to transport down, or will be within an hour.  They have been excited and living out of what some might call "day bags" since we arrived.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Revrand: Yeah, we didn't expect all the complications, did we?  Okay, so, get your people ready and we'll start sending you down.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
Reverand:  Ma’am!  We can appreciate the hardship that your people have suffered through having discovered an aberration in the time-line here at New Cauldron, my compliments to your group!

Host Rebecca_Revrand says:
CO: Of course, Captain.  We will be ready shortly.
CEO: And thank you as well, I understand that things didn't go as any of us planned, but we are honestly none the worse for wear.  ::Nods and turns to head and prepare her colony group for departure.::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
All: I'm going to see if I can get anything new from the sensors.  There is something different about this system, obviously, but I can only guess what is behind it at this point.

Host Reefraron_Barr says:
CO: I will get back down to the planet and get my people ready.  It will takes us a bit longer, and we'll need to know how much we can carry with us back home.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
SO:  Good idea Lieutenant Trix, always good to have a new baseline, compared/contrasted from the previous.
