SD 10301.07 Season 3 Episode 28 Mission 118: Gone Fishing Part 1…

Starfleet has lost contact with subspace Relay Station Psi 5 Auriga on the edge of the Pyrellia star system. Its last communication indicated a possible contact with a Ferengi ship that was requesting assistance due to warp engine failure. Cause of the damage is unknown. The Argus Array last spotted the relay station 4 days ago as it passed behind the gas giant in the solar system. No contact has occurred since.

The USS Claymore is ready for departure...

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Pushes a few things on his console as he yawns::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::sitting in her chair on the bridge...looks up:: ALL: All departments report!

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
::Walks onto TL::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::sitting in the Ready Room getting ready to go onto the bridge.::

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
::Computer: Deck One::

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
XO: Sir course has been set for Psi 5 Auriga, awaiting clearance from the SB.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::He sits at the Mission Ops display on the bridge of the U.S.S. Claymore, pouring over records from the Psi 5 Auriga Relay Station, transmission records, maintenance reports, sensors feeds...the works. Unfortunately, little of it seems to be of use to him at the moment, except to bog down his thoughts::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::nods:: FCO: Thank you ensign.

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
::In Main Engineering, making sure everything is good to go. He double checks, and responds to the XO:: *XO*: Engineering is ready, Commander.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
XO: Ready to switch back to ship power.

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
::stands behind post on the bridge::

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
::Walks out of TL onto the Bridge::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
*CEO*: Acknowledged, keep an eye on things we are going to need all the power we can get shortly.

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
XO: Sir, Reporting for duty.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
OPS: Go ahead and request that from starbase.

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
XO: Ready Commander.

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
::Makes the ship ready to leave the starbase and be dependant on its own power:: *XO*: Aye, Sir.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
XO: Aye...

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::turns hearing a new voice:: CMO: Ensign, welcome to the Claymore. You made it just in time.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
~~~CEO: Once more into the breech...~~~ ::He smiles as his thoughts almost seem to fly away from him, destined to be heard by the ship's Chief Engineering Officer, his best friend...and the one man he has fallen for::

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::prepares to release the Claymore from umbilical support, ready thrusters::

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
COMM: SB: This is the Claymore. We're ready to disconnect.

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
XO: Thank you sir. 

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::puts his jacket on and exits his Ready Room entering the bridge.  He goes to his chair::  XO:  Have all departments checked in?

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::nods:: CMO: If you will check with Commander Farris our OPS officer he will get your quarters assigned on Deck 4. Let us know if all is well in sickbay.

Host Gilles says:
@<Station_OPS>:COM: Claymore: OPS: Disconnecting is 3...........2..................1................

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
XO: Understood Sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CO: Aye sir. We are requesting permission to release umbilicals from the base at this moment. Course is plotted and ready.

Host Gilles says:
@<Station_OPS>: COM: Claymore: OPS: Claymore... confirm you are on internal power?

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
~~~CIV: Exciting, isn’t it?~~~ ::Dandin asks the question, almost as if it is rhetorical. He is excited for this mission::

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
::Walks over to the OPS Station::

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
ALL: Aft thruster 1/4

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
XO:  Thank you Commander.  ::sits down::

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
OPS: Hello Sir

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CMO: Hello. What do you need?

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::As his thoughts drift off, thinking of Dandin, he leans against the console before him, accidentally closing down the file and losing all the data he has just spent the last half an hour compiling::

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
OPS: Are my quarters ready?

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CIV:  Ensign Alezka...would you man the tactical station please.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CMO: One second... ::Pulls up a couple screens to show power flow:: COMM: SB: Yes, we're all set.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::He smiles once again as he hears the beeps of his console and sighs slightly. After several brief moments he chuckles slightly, thinking of how foolish his little error was, and goes back to his random thoughts:: ~~~CEO: Extremely...finally something we'll enjoy...the reason you and I are out here...~~~

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Pulls up quartering assignment charts:: CMO: Deck 4, section 32, room 205.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CO: A rather interesting shore leave to make an understatement...

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::He turns from his display quickly, at the sound of his name. The reaction is on pure instinct, and is so sudden that he knocks a stack of PADD off of his console and onto the deck plating half a meter below. Cringing at the sound of crashing metal, he nods and tries his best to smile:: CO: Aye sir...

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
OPS: Thanks a lot, I hope the room has a nice view.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::looks around at the CIV:: CIV: Are you okay?

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
::Stands behind console, readying himself for the trip ahead::

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
~~~CIV: It's been worth it...~~~ ::Monitors the internal power supply, and is glad to see that all systems on that front are in working order::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
XO:  No argument there.  ::looks at the PADDS of the CIV's and back to the XO::  XO:  Was it something I said?

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
::Walks back to the TL:: Computer: Deck 4, Section 32

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CO: Not sure sir. ::looks at the CO:: Perhaps his mind is elsewhere which in this case isn't good for us.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
XO: Yes ma'am...completed all right sir, nothing to worry about, Commander. ::He goes read in the face and stands, collecting the stack as quickly and neatly as possible:: ~~~CEO: It had better be...if I embarrass myself one more time, who knows what the Captain will do. Maybe he'll ask that I be transferred to a Cargo Barge...~~~

Host Gilles says:
@<Station_OPS>: COM: Claymore: OPS: Claymore... you are cleared for departure.

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
::As the TL comes to a stop, I walk out and go to the nearest active display::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CO: As you saw our new CMO just made it to the ship as well. Do you need me to set up a meeting with you?

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
XO: We've been cleared. We can go whenever.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
OPS: Acknowledged.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::hears SB clearance:: ALL: Aft Thrusters 1/4

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
XO:  ::whispers::  Lets try and keep an eye on him for now.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
FCO: Back us out and get us clear of the station.

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
::Shakes his head, and can't help but chuckle:: ~~~CIV: I doubt the Captain would transfer you anywhere, D'Aur.~~~

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::nods and whispers back:: CO: I can do that sir.

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
::Taps a few buttons...:: Computer: Where do I go to find room 205?

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
XO: For the CMO, I will call him shortly.  I assume he has reported in?

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CIV: I need a tactical readiness report ensign.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::Standing up straight, D'Aurayen Alezka straightens his uniform and nods once to the Commander before taking his position at the Tactical display and logging himself into the control interface. He hears whispers between the Captain and Commander, and immediately becomes anxious:: ~~~CEO: How do you know? What if he's discussing it right now...~~~

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CO: Aye sir. I had Commander Farris assign his quarters, which is where he is headed now.

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
:: Computer responds to take a left and go straight, I do just that::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
XO:  Thank you.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
CO: We have cleared the SB Captain.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Goes through the power flow charts to make sure that everything's been "cleaned up" since the voles went on a feeding frenzy::

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
CMO: Home sweet home.

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
::Exits his quarters and walks to Sickbay::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO:  Course been plotted and entered Mr. Theron?

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
::Enters SB::

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
::Again, Dandin suppresses a chuckle, which earns him a few strange looks from his fellow Engineers:: ~~~CIV: You're the telepath. You tell me if there's any hint of a conspiracy brewing about you.~~~

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
CO: Aye sir...un-un-understood...::He has to force the last word out and he immediately sets to work on his assignment:: CO: All systems on standby, security and tactical reporting in. Sensors online and beginning standard sweeps.

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
::Nice office, nice equipment, nice everything. I guess I should get to work::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CIV:  Thank you Ensign.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Yawns as he starts getting set to monitor for distress signals::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::leans over towards the CO and speaks quietly:: CO: He seems a bit overanxious and nervous to me.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::He smiles and looks down at his display, sensing the positive emotions flowing from his companion:: ~~~CEO: I...suppose you're right, Dan. If anything, concerned...but not anything that would constitute a conspiracy...not yet at least...~~~ ::He smiles once again and chuckles outwardly, his thoughts brightening::

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
CO: Aye sir, course plotted and ready at warp 6.5

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO:  Engage.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
CO: ETA to Psi, 2 days.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
XO: ::whispers::  Suggestions Commander?

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::engages warp 6.5::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::continues speaking quietly:: CO: For one I think I need to schedule some time to talk to him.

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
::Organizes a few cleanup and repair teams on a nearby PADD. After organizing a few teams of a few scores of people, he begins his diagnostics on ship's main systems: ~~~CIV: Don't be so paranoid, D'Aur~~~ ::Dandin says this in a joking tone::

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::As he brings the Tactical displays online, he checks over several subroutines and systems diagnostics:: ~~~CEO: Dan, what would I do without you?~~~

ACTION: ETA is 10 minutes

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
CO: Sir ETA to Psi 5 Auriga is 10 minutes

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
XO:  Go ahead Commander.  If you feel it needed, we may need to schedule a chat with our counselor.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Scanning for distress signals::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CIV:  Go to Yellow Alert.  CSO:  Begin scans.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CO: Sir we lost our CNS.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::After several days of research, he once again finds himself at the Tactical post, working on sensor analysis, and tactical readiness scenarios:: CSO: Ensign Taylor, if I could...well, if I could have a word with you? ::His voice is soft, and he seems almost unsure if he should be calling the other officer over towards him::

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
CO: Beginning scans.

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
*CO*: Capt. could you please report to sickbay?

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
CIV: Yes Ens. Alezka, what could I do for you?

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::chuckles:: CO: Looks like the CMO is anxious to get physicals done.

ACTION: All COM traffic is suddenly gone.

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
::walks over to Ens. Alezka::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*CMO*:  For what reason doctor?

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Hears the word physical and has a flashback to the Scorpius and shudders::

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
CO: Aye...aye sir...::He activates several commands, and brings them to Yellow Alert status, raising shields and charging weapons:: CSO: I had an inspiration for a new sensor modification...if you wanted to hear it...sir...

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
::Is in his office, going over a few reports that he set aside until he had some time, which he has now::

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
Self: That's odd... CO: Captain, there's nothing coming in over the COM.

ACTION: Sensors suddenly go blank

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CSO: Are there any subspace distortions in the area that could cause loss of communications?

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  Is there just nothing to get or have we lost communications due to another reason?

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Doesn't like this at all::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CIV: What are tactical scans showing?

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::He looks down at his display as the screen goes black. The sensor feeds only display black, a lack of any raw data and he looks quite confused:: XO: Commander...sir, I just lost all sensors...::He runs a diagnostic and taps his comm badge::

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
CIV: Sure I'd like to hear about it.

ACTION: The Claymore comes to a full stop.... her engines rev up continuing to try to push forward and begin to warn of overload

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CO: There's never nothing to get. There has to be something going on...

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
FCO: Cut the engines!

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::Opting to disregard his comm badge, he closes the signal, and immediately opens up his thoughts, searching out the mind of Dandin Lai:: ~~~CEO: Dan, we have a problem up here...sensors and comm just went down...~~~

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
CO: Sir, we've just hit a dead stop!  I'm cutting engines to prevent an overload!

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
OPS: My scans are blank.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::cuts all power to the engines::

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
::Jumps from his seat, and quickly dashes to the main display:: *FCO*: Cut the engines, they're overheating!

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO:  Cause of the dead stop?

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Prepares for red alert::

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::moves quickly over console::

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
*CO*: Sorry for the delay in response Captain. I need to get physicals done, Starfleet protocol.

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
~~~CIV: Thanks. I'll see what I can do...~~~

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
*CEO*: What readings are you getting? We have lost all sensors and are unable to move.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::He sighs and looks to the CSO:: CSO: I think it may have to wait, Ensign. ::He begins to try to access the scanners manually, hoping that internal scans may identify any problems with their systems::

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
CO: Unknown sir.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*CMO*: We will have to do it another time Doctor.  Randolph out.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
ALL: Engines are cut, we are at all stop.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CSO:  What are your scans showing?

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CO: Captain, might I suggest we try backing up?

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
::Great the Capt. is just like all the others... Always dodging the Doc.::

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
XO: Commander...sir...I believe I may have noticed the display showing a Ferengi signature before the scanners went down...::He begins to try access the computer's memory banks, bringing up the last scans on his display::

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
*CEO*: Engines are powered down Lai, I have no idea why we were halted.

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
*XO*: Could you please report to sickbay?

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
::Quickly does a scan of the systems, and finds that...nothing seems to be wrong. Dandin is puzzled:: *XO*: I'm not getting anything. Everything is in working order.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  Not until we have ascertained why we have stopped.

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
CO: Sir my scans are still blank.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
~~~CEO: Dan...diagnostics aren’t registering a problem...nothing is physically wrong up here...we just don't appear to be getting a feed from the scanners...do you read a problem with the ODN sub-processors?~~~

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CO: Sir if this is a dead space area would it help to back out of the area? ::forces herself to remain seated and not pace the bridge::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CSO:  Are they functioning?

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::turns to face the others, awaiting orders::

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
*FCO*: That's good. The systems seem to be all in top shape. I'm not sure what happened...

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
*CMO*: I will be down when things have calmed down up here.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CO: Captain, I do not believe that we will be able to ascertain why we stopped if we stay here, where we have no sensors or comms.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::Considers the OPS and XO suggestion...:: XO/OPS:  We will give it a shot.  FCO:  Back us out of here.

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
*XO*: Understood Sir.

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
~~~CIV: I'm getting the same thing - or lack of anything, really. No problems anywhere that I can see. ~~~

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::Suddenly an idea hits him as he overhears the Commander's comment about dead space:: ~~~CEO: Dan...could you try placing the energy feed from the EPS conduits on a negative charge?

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
CO: Yes sir, the scans are functioning.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
FCO: Use the thrusters since the engines went down.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
CO/XO: Aye sir, aft 1/4 thruster power.  ::engages aft thrusters, manual steering::

ACTION: The ship remains in place... while the thrusters attempt to move the ship

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Runs through the database for any weapons that could cause dead standstills::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
FCO: Anything?

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
~~~CIV: A negative charge...?~~~ ::Tries to redirect the feed in the opposite direction, unsure if it will do anything::

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
CO/XO: Nothing, we are still at all stop cutting thrusters.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::cuts thrusters::

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
~~~CEO: The Commander described this as a dead space region...I believe I detected the Ferengi vessel before our systems went down - this region could be effecting our systems in a negative way...by reversing the polarity of our energy feed, we may be able to regain control of our systems...~~~

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::hears the FCO::  CSO:  Did you get anything of scans before you lost them?  Anything unusual at all?

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Checks star charts to see if this area has ever been marked::

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
~~~CIV: I see. Makes sense, just not sure if it'll work...~~~

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
CO/XO: Perhaps a runabout could make it through whatever is holding us here, maybe it’s the Claymore that is having difficulty.  If we could get through to the relay station . . . . . ?

ACTION: The energy discharge makes visible some kind of "net" that has engulfed the ship

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
CO/XO:  Sirs, on screen . . . . . . .

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
~~~CEO: Not sure...but it's worth a - whoa - ~~~ ::He pauses as he looks out the main viewer, noticing a network of lights crossing the screen::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::looks up:: ALL: What is that? It looks like a web or something...

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::Looks at the view screen::

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Watches the screen:: Self: Great, now we're fish.

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
*XO*: Commander, any idea what's going on out there from the bridge?

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::whispers to himself:: Self: The Q?

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
CO: No sir, nothing unusual.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
~~~CEO: Dan, whatever you just did...we got a response...it appears to be a network, in front of the main viewer...~~~ CO: Captain, I believe a negative energy charge may be responsible for...that...::He points to the display::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
*CEO*: Well we seem to be caught in a web or something.

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
::Ens Emor enters SB::

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CSO: Is this a physical net, or some sort of energy net?

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::He looks down at his control panel and attempts to run some scans:: XO: I confirm the presence of...something...

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
Self: A web...?

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CIV: Something? ::looks around with a penetrating gaze::

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
<Emor> CMO: You got to help me Doc. I think I broke my arm.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CSO:  What kind of readings are you getting off of that.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Starts wondering if phasers could cut this thing::

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
XO: I believe it may be some for of negative energy network...attempting to confirm and analyze...sir...::He looks down at his controls frantically, hating to be on the spot like this:: ~~~CEO: ...so the adventure begins...~~~

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
OPS: It's an energy net.

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
~~~CIV: Earlier than expected...~~~

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CSO: Is it far enough away that we could disrupt it with a torpedo?

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
Emor: Please sit down, you are my first victim today. ::Chuckles::

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
CO: Sir, It's an energy net, that resembles a Tholian web... but a completely different energy signature.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
~~~CEO: Much earlier...~~~ CO/XO: Captain...Commander, I have a suggestion...sirs...::He looks down at his controls, not wishing to make definitive eye contact::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CSO:  Can you identify who the signature may belong too??

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CIV: And that would be? ::continues looking at him::

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
CSO: Could it be the Q?

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CIV:  Lets hear it.

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
Emor: Great!

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
OPS: Unknown

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
CO: This signature is unknown at the time.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
CO / XO: A low power energy pulse from the Deflector Array, might allow us to charge the network, however only slightly. We may be able to then get a clearer reading on this...web...and maybe, hopefully...identify it...sirs...::He never takes his eyes off his scans::

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
::Walks over to Ens. Emor and takes out a medical tricorder ::

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
FCO: That I'm not sure about Ens.

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
Emor: It seems that it’s only a hairline fracture, this won’t take too long. Just hold still please.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CIV:  How long would it take to get the pulse ready and how long will we have for the reading?

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
CO: Probably only several minutes of charge time...we should be able to have the pulse up in a few minutes...sir...~~~CEO: Dan...I think we may need your assistance up here...~~~ ::He smiles at the thought of his friend helping him::

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::sits at the helm, listening::

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
Emor: Alright. 

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
OPS/FCO: We need to find a way to get out of this thing. See what the two of you along with the CEO can come up with.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Checks the last communication that went through the computer before they went dead::

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
~~~CIV: Okay, I'll be right there. I'm not much use down here anyway~~~ ::Makes his way to the turbolift, and orders it to the bridge::

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::He looks at his scans of the network and places the reading over the last known location of the Ferengi Vessel, using the computer to correlate the data...:: XO: Commander, it appears that the Ferengi Vessel also appears trapped by this network...most likely in the same fashion...

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
XO: Maybe a runabout or something even smaller, a shuttle pod, could go between the net.

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
:: Takes out a physiostimulator and places it on Ens. Emor's arm ::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CIV: And where is that ship now?

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
FCO: The issue now is that if our engines are down those will most likely be down as well.

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
::Enters onto the bridge and, not wanting to seem like he's in the way, goes to the engineering station::

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
XO: Our engines aren't necessarily "down"... They seem to be working fine. It's just that they can't over power what's holding us.

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
::Continues to run scans::

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::gets up and walks to met Lai at the Eng console::

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
CMO: Done, your all better. Just be more careful next time. 

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
XO:  What do you think Commander?

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
CEO: What do you think venting plasma from the warp nacelles might do to the field?

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
XO: Approximately 500,000 kilometers from our current position, Commander...::He continues to glance between the Vulcan officer and his scans, his fingers flying across the controls frantically::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::nods:: OPS: Just a speculation. I don't want to get any hopes up.

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
FCO: Might disrupt the energy network...it might also ignite like a bomb and blow us up.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
FCO: See if you can get a shuttle up and running and find a way out of the net. Put your best pilot on the job.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CO: At this point I would say we are grasping at any possible solution. We don't know enough to make detailed decisions.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Goes over to the FCO:: FCO: Wouldn't we have to know what's making this energy field able to hold us as if it was a solid object first?

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
XO: Understood sir.  I think that would be me, if I may be allowed to go.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
OPS:  At this point we don’t know anything, it might be worth a try.  Maybe a shuttle is small enough to not be effected.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
XO:  What about Alezka's suggestion...a pulse to charge the net.  It may be enough for us to scan it and get some more information.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::He begins to use Tactical systems and his own authority to access Deflector Control and begins preparing a low power energy pulse from the main array::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::looks at the CO:: CO: Sir do we let Mr. Theron take the shuttle out or send another pilot so he can remain on the bridge?

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CO: I say go for it...it may be our only chance to find out anything.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
FCO: Not necessarily. For all we know, every piece of space dust might be stuck in something like this around here.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CIV:  Set your deflector pulse up.  Let me know when it is ready.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
XO:  Since we aren't going anywhere right now...let him go.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
OPS: I don’t know what to tell you sir, like I said it’s worth a try.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::nods:: FCO: It's all yours. Go ahead and try.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
XO: Understood.  *Flight Deck*: Please prepare one of the runabouts for departure ASAP.  ::enters TL::

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Goes over to the CSO:: CSO: Do you think that phasers could slice through this?

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
FCO: I would suggest one of the smaller shuttles.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::nods to XO as TL doors close::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::gets up and walks over standing behind the CIV looking over the tactical scanners and what he is doing::

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::He continues his preparation and waits for confirmation from the Command Staff:: ~~~CEO: Dan...I need a second opinion...~~~ ::He looks over to the Chief Engineer for help...

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
OPS:  I'm not sure.

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
*CEO*: Could you please report to SB.

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
~~~CIV: On what, D'Aurayen?~~~

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
*Flight Deck*: Please change that to a shuttle pod.  Computer: Flight Deck.

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
OPS: You might try it.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CIV: Show me where you found the Ferengi ship.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
~~~CEO: I recommended using the Main Deflector to emit an energy pulse...in hopes that it might "shed some light" on this network...so to speak...I don't know...do you think it would work?~~~ ::He seems almost nervous with the Executive Officer standing over his shoulder - suddenly he feels very small::

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CSO: Any opinions? Guesses? Anything?

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::arrives, enters FD, approaches shuttle pod::

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
XO: Aye...ma'am...::He pauses his work and brings up a 3-dimensional display, with their location in the center, and the Ferengi signature plotted on the surface of this unidentified 'network.'::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::nods and looks at the plot:: CIV: Don't worry I don't bite. ::smiles::

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::boards, does preflight check, opens bay doors:: *XO*: Sir, I am ready to disembark.

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
*CMO*: Doctor, I'd love to have a routine physical right now, but I'm needed on the bridge. ::Turns to face D'Aurayen:: ~~~CIV: Anything's worth a shot when we really have no clue...~~~

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
XO: Here...ma'am...::He brings up a larger display and taps the console:: Right here...

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
OPS: A guess, it might be possible.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
*FCO*: Acknowledged, let us know how things go.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
*XO*: Understood, we'll know in a minute.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CIV: So basically they are dead in this space as well. Can you get any scans working to see if there is life on that ship?

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
~~~CEO: Could you assist me with helping set up the pulse? I'd love the help...~~~ ::The last phrase seems almost dreamy and off topic and he catches himself, returning his focus back onto Dan and T'Kerl::

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::engages thrusters, and begins to maneuver the shuttle pod out of the bay::

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CSO: OK... XO: This might sound a little... rough, but how about we try to use phasers to cut our way out?

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
~~~CIV: Of course.~~~ ::Gets up and makes his way to the tactical station:: CIV: How can I be of help?

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::shuttle pod slides out the bay door::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::steps back just a little watching the work being done more so keeping an eye on the CIV::

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::He looks between the Executive Officer and Dan, a nervous look coming over him. Tapping several controls, he transmits the data to the CEO at the auxiliary station:: ~~~CEO: We need to prepare a negative charge pulse, and set the charge level and dispersal pattern...~~~

ACTION: The net deliberately moves towards the shuttle and snares it.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CSO:  When the pulse hits the net...you will need to gets as much scanned as you can.  We need every piece of information you can give me.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
$::shudders::

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
CO: Yes sir, I'm ready at my console.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
OPS: Any ideas on what the feedback energy would do if we try that?

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
XO: Commander...the shuttle...::He brings it on the main viewer, display the snagged vessel::...it too has be trapped by the energy field...

ACTION: The shuttle's engines begin to sound overload as the shuttle remains frozen in place.

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
::readies himself for an immediate scan::

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
XO: Well, just like most of this, we have no clue.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
$::cuts all engines in shuttle::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::mutters:: Great...just great. CO: The shuttle is caught in the net.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
OPS: Any way to try and beam the FCO back onto the ship?

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
$*XO*:  I...I'm sorry sir the net moved I'm dead in the water.

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
::Moves to the other tactical station:: ~~~CIV: Understood.~~~

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
XO:  Understood  ::shakes his head::

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Goes and slides into his chair and attempts to lock onto the FCO::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
OPS: Let's see how the discharge from the array goes and we will go from there. ::walks back over sitting down in her chair::

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
~~~CEO: I'm not really sure what figures to use...we may not get many chances at this...I was hoping you might have some input...~~~ ::He looks over to Dandin with a smile and then returns to his scans of the Ferengi vessel:: XO: Except the fact that they are trapped in a similar fashion - sensors aren't being of much help...ma'ma'ma'am.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Locks onto the FCO and energizes::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::nods:: CIV: Thank you Mr. Alezka. ::looks at the view screen at the net::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CSO: We need to get some sort of energy reading on that thing...either positive or negative.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::sits down::  XO:  I wonder what makes it activate...does it have to come in contact with matter...or the engines?

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
XO: Understood scanning.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::materializes in TR::

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Thinks for a second:: Self: I've got it! All: How about a reverse tractor beam?

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
~~~CIV: I'd suggest the widest possible dispersal pattern, in order to maximize the chances of hitting the web. ~~~

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CO: That is what has me puzzled. It didn't show up on sensors at all.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::realizes he is not much help on the bridge right now, heads back to Flight Deck to try and bring the shuttle in::

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
~~~CEO: Agreed...~~~ ::He checks over the Deflector Control settings and the charging rate:: CO: Captain, the pulse should be ready any moment now...

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
XO:  If we can get enough data to figure that out...we may be able to get out of here.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::sits back rubbing her temples trying to think all this through:: CO: That is what I am hoping sir.

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
::begins scans::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CIV:  Understood.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CIV:  Whenever you are ready ensign.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
~~~CEO: Ready?~~~ ::He looks at the controls and prepares to activate the pulse::

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::enters FD, walks to console:: *XO*: Sir, I am back on the Flight Deck, I am going to try and use the guidance beams to bring the shuttle pod back, its just outside the doors.

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
::Sets the pulse level at an increasing magnitude, so as to sweep through a wide range of possibilities in a short period:: ~~CIV: Yes.~~~

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
*FCO*: Very good.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Wondering if the Ferengi caused this::

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::locks beams on shuttle pod and attempts to bring it back::

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::With a nod he presses the command and activates the energy pulse - hoping that the negative field will be just what they need to success in their task - all he has is hope::

ACTION: The Claymore is drawn into a long tube.... the ships is being drawn into it.
