CEO_Lt_Hull says:
*CO*:  Captain, the shuttle "Three Rivers" warp signature is now emitting a Maquis warp signature, there is a field generator in the rear compartment that is generating the proper outputs, it should do the trick, unless someone actually makes eye contact with the shuttle, she is ready for departure in Shuttle Bay 1

MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Nods very slightly in acknowledgement to Northcutt, but otherwise remains looking ahead to the doors, wordless::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
*CEO*: Acknowledged Lieutenant.  As usual good work.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
*CAG*: Very good, Mr. Williams. We'll be there momentarily.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Emerges onto the bridge, silently slipping into the briefing room::

CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<CWO_Amica>  ::Stands upright, surprised::  CMO:  Doc...what's up?

::Follows after Northcutt::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
Amica:  Supposed to come to the bridge to monitor the away team.  I can handle things here.  Head down to sickbay...they're without a doctor at the moment.  If anything major comes up, I'll send Sokov if he's free.

::Gradually comes up short, but watches down the corridor, turned away from the rest of the team, as Davis addresses Wolf::
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::strides over to the shuttle he'll be piloting, and goes again through the preflight check, powering up systems and prepping for launch::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<CWO_Amica>  CMO:  Got it.  I'll keep you updated.  ::Leaves his kit on the table for Welland and departs, moving to the turbolift and making his way back to sickbay::

::Climbs the ladder to the upper observation deck overlooking Shuttle Bay 1 to watch the launch::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Simply follows Northcutt, a meter or so on his heels::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::turns back to Wolf and eyes him intently, wondering if he can actually look into his brain and find an explanation without wasting his time hearing words::  aCTO: Your objection is noted, Commander.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
aCTO: In the future, your objections about my away team will go through me first and not over my head.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
aCTO: Understood?
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
Sren/Merriweather:  You two can stay in here for now...not trying to sequester you or anything...just easier to be out of the way right now.  ::Shrugs and smiles a bit::
aCTO_Cmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
XO: Understood sir.  I meant no disrespect.
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
MO: Well... this is going to be interesting...
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::spins around and heads for the Shuttlebay; after two or three strides, he turns back over his left shoulder::  aCTO: Let's go.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<PO_Merriweather>  ::Smiles, easily and with understanding::  CMO:  Got it, Sir.  We'll manage.
aCTO_Cmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
XO: Right behind you sir.  ::walking even strides behind the XO::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Faintly:: FCO: I think...for some...that would qualify as an understatement...   ::Steps into the shuttlebay and steps aside, waiting::
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::after a moment's consideration, moves to occupy the pilot's seat::
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
::steps aboard the shuttle and heads to the front of the shuttle and checks the helm's settings::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
<Sren> ::Smiles and nods in agreement with Merriweather's sentiments::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Getting the same results, turns around and taps the comm.::  *CO*:  Captain, I hope you are not planning on spending much vacation time in this region.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Shrugs again and turns, heading out onto the bridge, walking down toward the command area::  CO:  Reporting as ordered.
aCTO_Cmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
::turns around and looks before entering the shuttle::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::enters the Shuttlebay and immediately heads for the locker; he finds a tricorder and a hand phaser available before making his way towards the altered shuttle::
aCTO_Cmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
XO: A suggestion?
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::looks up as Northcutt approaches, and offers a very small nod:: FCO: Ensign. ::makes no move to get up::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Pauses at the locker, hesitating half a moment, then reaches for a phaser and medkit::
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
::looks down at Williams and jumps a little, not seeing him there originally:: CAG: Oh, my apologies...
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::stops and turns, inhaling fully before turning around and exhaling as he responds::   aCTO: Yes?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::raising an eyebrow::  *CSO*: Vacation Lieutenant?  What are you trying to tell me?
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
::takes a few steps backwards and looks around the shuttle::
CAG_FO_Williams says:
FCO: Of course.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
*CO*:  That depends.  You want the bad news or the bad news?
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<PO_Merriweather>  ::Folds his hands behind his back, now looking rather uneasy...glances to Sren::
aCTO_Cmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
XO: Well maybe I was thinking that maybe we should have some one from the science department with us on this one.  Maybe they can get a first hand look at the disruptions and their affect on the planet?
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
*XO*:  Good luck Commander, bring her back in one piece
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Looks up at the doctor::  CMO: Thank you doctor.  You are welcome to sit in Davis' chair or the counselor.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Sensing no other objection yet, finishes selecting a phaser and medkit, and slowly slings the kit over her shoulder and holsters the phaser at her waist::
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
::wonders for a moment what Wolf is going on about, then goes back to wondering where to sit::
SO_Ens_Lewis says:
::continues to work at her station::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::grumbles::  aCTO: Noted. Let's go.  ::turns and continues towards the shuttle::
aCTO_Cmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
XO: I mean from the inside of a shuttle craft it would present the ideal teaching opportunity to learn about them and maybe even get a way to minimize them.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::wordlessly, motions Northcutt to the copilot's seat::
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
::walks forward and sits next to Williams:: CAG: Interesting configuration...
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
*CSO*: You might as well give me the bad news first.  ::Sits down at her chair and debates on pacing while she hears this.::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
<Sren> ::Shoves her hands into her pockets and sits back on the Briefing Room table, looking up at Merriweather:: Merriweather: All right...Spit it out.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::enters the shuttle, happening upon the 'conversation' between Northcutt and Williams::
aCTO_Cmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
::climbs in after the XO and makes sure the door is shut and secured::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
CO:  Well, that's...  ::Hesitates and sits down in the Counselors chair, looking at the unfamiliar console::  Okay.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
*CEO*: We'll do our best, Lieutenant.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
*CO*:  First, the disruption is man made.  There is a strange... borg/starfleet signature to it, somewhere along the line of an open transwarp conduit..  That is the bad news.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Follows Davis and Wolf aboard the shuttle and sits back somewhere out of the way::
CAG_FO_Williams says:
FCO: Interesting, perhaps. Useful? ::pauses, and shrugs, and he preps the final launch sequence:: We will see.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<PO_Merriweather>  ::Half-startled::  Sren:  Oh, um...Ma'am?  There's...nothing.  I had nothing.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
*CO*: The other bad news, is that the output is critically high and increasing.  At the current rate, simulations suggest we have between 48 to 72 hours before we get to watch a spectacular show... at least, I would prefer to be watching it instead of being apart of it.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::waits for a moment, then interjects::  CAG: When you're clear, Flight Officer.
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
::looks over some of the power distribution percentages and tries to familiarize himself with the shuttle's odd configuration::
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::signals traffic control *Kraklp*: Shuttle to launch control. Requesting launch clearance for planetary descent.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
SO: Once you have the probe ready program it to land on one of the asteroids between us and the Maquis base.  Let me know when it's ready to launch.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
<Sren> ::Smiles and leans back:: Merriweather: Don't worry.  They'll work it out eventually.  ::Leans forward to review a piece of the equipment on the deck before her::
aCTO_Cmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
::sits quietly and waits::
SO_Ens_Lewis says:
CO: Yes sir: I'm ready now ::finishes her calculations and turns to the CO::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<FP_FL_Kraklp>  ::looks at the control panel in front of him, still struggling to grasp his presence at a 'desk' rather than in the cockpit or the conn::  *CAG*: Control to shuttle, the pattern is clear. You are clear for launch.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Sits straightly, nothing in her hands but her PADD of information from Vell...although not really necessary considering she long ago memorized its material::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<FP_FL_Kraklp>  ::curses to himself, hoping he has a chance to hit Williams with a shovel or something heinous like that::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Taps on the panel a few times, navigating a maze of menus and trying to locate the appropriate tools::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
SO: Go ahead and launch the probe ensign and transfer the display to the main viewscreen.
SO_Ens_Lewis says:
::nods as her finger touches the launch button:: CO: the probe is away Sir.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
*Kraklp*: Understood. beginning primary liftoff procedure. ::enters the commands, and remotely opens the shuttle bay, before carefully lifting the shuttle off the deck and pointing it directly at the growing opening::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
*CSO*: Not exactly what I was hoping to hear Lieutenant.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::hears Williams over the comm and starts to feel his heart beat a little faster::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::inhales again and sits back, smiling just a little::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
*CSO*: Once your done down there in astrometrics if you could come to the bridge.  I want you and Ensign Lewis to come up with a way that we can get in to the Kazner system.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
Self:  Ah.  ::Finally taps into the appropriate tools and accesses the combadges of those in the shuttlebay, localized to the runabout, and pulls up the biosignatures of those within it::
CAG_FO_Williams says:
All: You may wish to brace yourself. ::glances briefly over his shoulder, and sets his eyes briefly on the doctor, then returns to his board and brings the inertial dampeners to maximum::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
*CO*:  Captain, The Three Rivers has cleared the shuttle bay
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
*CEO*: Understood Mr. Hull.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::hears the warning and snaps out of his odd mix of relief and excitement, looking to secure himself in the shuttle::
aCTO_Cmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
@::looks at his tactical screen::
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
@::grabs his seat a bit::

MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Seemingly oblivious to Williams' glance, simply continues to read her PADD::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:

aCTO_Cmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
@::sits more firmly in his seat::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
*CO*:  Well, there is a poker game tonight and I hear it is all newbies.  But, given we will be busy making sure we are not anywhere near this system...  you will not get a chance to test that out.  :: Watching as the final scenario finishes.::  Ummm... you ready for the worst news now?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_MCPO_Matthews>  ::on the Bridge, at Mission Ops currently::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
*CO*: Of course, worst is relative.
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  The shuttle Three Rivers slips out of the Overton’s shuttle bay and into space.  Large tremors can be felt through the ship as the sub-space disruptions impact the outter hull.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<OPS_LtJG_Gulash>  ::at Operations, tracking the away team as well using his console::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::turns to ops as she finishes with Hull::  CMC:  Make sure you boost the communication link to the AT I want a constant report.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
@::as the shuttle bounces around in the mess of subspace disruptions, he reduces speed just slightly and pours the extra power into the dampeners::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_MCPO_Matthews>  ::checks back::  CO: Aye, Captain.  ::activates the console and begins routing communications traffic through Mission Operations::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CMO: Thank you Commander keep me posted.
aCTO_Cmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
@::grips the console as he is buffeted around from the impacts on the shuttle::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::looks towards Northcutt::  FCO: You sure you don't want to fly around in this crap, Ensign?  ::jolts to the left a little::
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
@::looks over at Williams::
CAG_FO_Williams says:
@::checks his display, remaining silent as he watches their destination draw ever closer::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
*CSO*: As ready as I can be Lieutenant.  And I guess I will have to go to the next game  ::half a grin and then back to serious as she stands and begins to walk towards Ensign Lewis::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
*CO*:  If we are unable to prevent this situation, sector 97 will be destroyed within 12 months.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Rides the "currents" silently, muscles relaxed as she rests back in her seat::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
CO:  Will do.  ::Keeps an eye on the monitor::
SO_Ens_Lewis says:
::glances up as the CO approaches::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_MCPO_Matthews>  ::patches in to the EPS subsystems, looking to free up extra power to devote to the communications systems for the time being::
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  The short range probe lands on one of the many asteroids within the belt between the Overton and Alpha Etti V.   Moments later the data begins to stream into the Overton.   Several bay doors can be seen on the surface of the planetoid along with 4 phaser embankments.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
<FP_FL_Cerna> ::steps back into flight control with a cup of coffee::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
SO: With the probe in place can we get any further information from the Maquis outpost?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<FP_FL_Kraklp>  ::stares at the console for a moment before being distracted by Cerna out of the corner of his eye::  Cerna: How can you sit here and just stare at this thing, man?  This's bunk!
CAG_FO_Williams says:
@::continues to monitor their course, making the slightest of adjustments to port a little, to starboard just a bit, in an attempt to minimize their involvement with the distortions::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Looks up while standing next to Lewis at the viewscreen.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::leans forward towards the fore::  CAG: How's it looking, Mr. Williams?
SO_Ens_Lewis says:
CO: I will try to get you all the information I can ::runs her fingers over the console fine-tuning  the probe::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
*CSO*: Do you have any ideas on how to prevent this from happening Lieutenant?
aCTO_Cmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
@::continues to monitor the asteroids and the area of space round the Maquis post::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::Enters Main Engineering, and is immediately handed a PADD with the sensor readings attenuating around the "Three Rivers"::
CAG_FO_Williams says:
<FP_FL_Cerna> Kraklp: Easy. We're on a ship with no fighter wing and very few shuttles. If you're not flying, you fly a desk. You just shut up and deal with it. And give plenty of thanks to those damned terrorists.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
@::doesn't look up from his console:: XO: Less than 3 minutes.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<FP_FL_Kraklp>  ::shakes his head, folding his arms across his chest::  FP: Pfft, maybe you're fine with a desk. But I'm good at what I do.
SO_Ens_Lewis says:
CO: Sir, internal scans show no sign of humanoid life.  O2 levels are within acceptable breathing limits, but the outposts ENV systems are not online right now.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::nods, leaning back once again and trying to wait as patiently as he can::
SO_Ens_Lewis says:
CO: The weapon system appears to be offline as well
aCTO_Cmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
<TO George> CO: Well sir maybe if the SO could give me any type of frequency that she finds, be it manmade as the CSO states or natural, maybe we both could get a deflector grid up an running.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
*CO*:  I need more data... one of those human magic wands would be nice as well.  Let me check in with the chief and see what he can see from this data... beyond the obvious of either locating the source and stopping it or creating an implosion which might stop it.  I am going to have the computer run through a couple of ideas.  But again...
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Looks up now, through the shuttle window, gazing at the approaching point::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
*CO*: With the limited amount of information we are currently working with, that is a bit challenging.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
<FP_FL_Cerna> Kraklp: You're good at getting on people's nerves, too. Just be thankful he didn't tie you to the gamma shift techs.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<FP_FL_Kraklp>  ::lifts his foot to the console, kicking his seat back before putting his foot on the console itself::  Cerna: Yea, yea
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
SO: Can we determine the last time the weapon system and env system were functioning?
SO_Ens_Lewis says:
CO: Sir, from the external door on screen you can determine there is a large hanger area from there it looks like a single room that leads to an elevator shaft.  The shaft is 120 meters deep and then it opens into a corridor, 6 room’s branch off the corridor.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
@All: 30 seconds. And counting.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@CAG: Very well.
aCTO_Cmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
@XO: Area is still clear sir.  Nothing moving so far.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@ALL: Phasers on stun, for the time being.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
*CEO*: Chief, are you busy or shall I come down there?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::nods to Wolf, silently wondering how long that is going to hold true::
aCTO_Cmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
@::reaches for his phaser and puts it on stun for now::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::glances over at the TO for a second in response::  TO: Noted.  I will have her send you the data and the two of you can see what you can come up with as an option.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::brings phaser forward and adjusts its setting::
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
@::checks his phaser::
aCTO_Cmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
<TO George> CO: Understood sir.  ::nodding at the SO::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
<Sren> ::Finally sits back up and glances over at Merriweather::
CAG_FO_Williams says:
@::phaser always on heavy stun, he makes no move to check it::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
*CSO*: Understood Lieutenant keep me posted.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
*CSO*:  Just working on keeping the shuttle in communication with the ship...I could use your help, things may get troublesome in a hurry
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_MCPO_Matthews>  ::frees up a measure of auxiliary power and funnels it back to communications in an attempt to boost the comm signal of the away team::
SO_Ens_Lewis says:
CO: According to O2 levels the Env system probably hasn't been online for approximately 8 weeks
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
SO: Make sure you forward that data onto the shuttle craft to Commander Davis so his team is up to date with our findings.
SO_Ens_Lewis says:
CO: Yes sir ::taps the console sending the information from the probe to the shuttle::
aCTO_Cmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
<TO George> SO: If that is true, then why all the disruptions now, if not to but hide something from being seen?
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
*CO*:  Captain, we are monitoring the shuttle, sensor readings are continually weakening, I would recommend we only use the forward sensor array, communications array and transporter emitters and increase transmit and receive gain
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Watches the viewscreen as she stands next to Lewis::  SO: acknowledged.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Doesn't bother to look down from the window to check her phaser::
SO_Ens_Lewis says:
TO: I'm not sure
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
*CEO*: My help?  You did not take my warning about staying out of engineering to heart did you.  :: smiles::  I have some data for you to take a look at.  We are looking at a possible conduit that is emitting 9.2 terra cochrans.  We have between 48 - 72 hours to figure it out before this sector goes nova.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
*CEO*:  Within 12 months, the entire sector will be destroyed.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
<FP_FL_Cerna> ::takes a sip from the cup, and just shakes her head:: FP: My point, exactly. ::smirks, then moves to stick her head out the door:: Nielson: Nielson! Look alive out there! We didn't pull you off gamma shift so you could snore on us.
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
@::is glad he doesn't easily get motion sickness::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<WO_van Kampen>  *CMO*:  van Kampen to Welland.
aCTO_Cmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
<TO George> SO : You got a copy of the signal that the disruptions are giving off?
CAG_FO_Williams says:
@XO: We're receiving a transmission from Overton. ::routes the information to tactical::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
*van Kampen*:  Go ahead.  ::Sits up a bit, though still watching the console::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
*CEO*: Understood I will pass on the information to Science and Ops and have them make the necessary arrangements.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<WO_van Kampen>  *CMO*:  Radiation levels are on the rise.  It's up about one percent since you were down here.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<FP_FL_Nielson>  ::shifts out of his soft slumper, falling to the deck; he turns back up towards the tower::  Cerna: Shaddup ya twerp....geez...
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
*CSO*:  Doesn't surprise me, with what is going on here, it would explain a great many things
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
<Sren> Merriweather: So, what was bothering you?
SO_Ens_Lewis says:
TO: I think so ::taps the console again and sends what information she has to the TO::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<PO_Merriweather>  Sren:  Bothering?  I'm fine.  ::Smiles and nods::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::approaches one of the seats near the console and accesses it, retrieving the information containing the layout::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Looks down again at Lewis::  SO: As you heard we need to only use the forward sensor array from now on to increase our readouts.
aCTO_Cmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
<TO George> SO: Thanks.  Anything else that is important that you think is linked to this please send it my way.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
@::brings the shuttle to a stop, and glances back at the others:: XO: We have reached our next checkpoint.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
<Sren> ::Smiles wryly, but nods as if assured:: Merriweather: All righty.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
*CEO*:  One other thing, there is a twist to this... a borg slash federation signature.  :: frowns for a moment.::
SO_Ens_Lewis says:
CO: Yes sir ::makes the necessary adjustments and nods to the TO:: TO: I will
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
OPS: Begin only using communications array and transporter emitters for the time being.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::nods::  CAG/aCTO: Anything on scanners?
aCTO_Cmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
<TO George> CO: Sir maybe if I can work out a form...::hunkers down on his console::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
*CSO*: Your right, I need to see your findings! 
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
*SO*: Do we have any files on a Federation project using Borg technology in transportation?
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Parts his screen and takes a look at ambient radiation levels within the ship::  *van Kampen*:  Understood.  Thanks for the notice.  Keep me posted.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Watches steadily out the window::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<OPS_LtJG_Gulash>  ::turns back, the Klingon picture of confused::  CO: I'm sorry, Captain?
aCTO_Cmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
@XO: So far nothing but that doesn't mean it will stay that way.  If there is life down there, the platforms might just be set in motion.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<WO_van Kampen>  *CMO*:  Will do.  van Kampen out.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
*CEO*: Shall I forward?
SO_Ens_Lewis says:
*CSO*:  I'll check and get right back to you ::tapping the console looking for the information::
Host SMDrew says:
<Automated Signal>  COM: Maquis Craft:  Scanning sequences commencing.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
*CSO*:  Please
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Keeps a small portion of his monitor occupied by the present level of radiation within the ship, and looks back to the away team report::
aCTO_Cmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
@::hears the com and blinks::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
OPS: Mr. Hull has informed me that the sensor readings are weakening and we need to begin using only the communications array and transporter emitters to boost sensors.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Turns slightly to the left and opens a link to send the data down to engineering.::  *CEO*: Heading your way.
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  Scanning emitters spring to life from the outpost and begin to scan the shuttle Three Rivers and its contents.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<OPS_LtJG_Gulash>  ::still not sure what that has to do with him, he decides it's easier to feign agreement::  CO: Yes sir.
aCTO_Cmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
@XO: Sir we are being scanned.
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
@ALL: Well... hello... we're being scanned
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::walks back over near her chair for the time being::  CMO: How are we doing Commander?
CAG_FO_Williams says:
@::looks coolly at his console:: All: Typical tactics when one wants to remain both hidden and without witnesses.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<PO_Merriweather>  ::Sighs, slightly exasperated::  Sren:  Look, I know you don't buy it...but there's nothing.  Really.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::looks around::  ALL: Well, let's hope our modifications pan out here. I'd hate to be blown away before even leaving the shuttle.
Host SMDrew says:
<Automated Signal>  COM: Three Rivers:  Scans completed.  Awaiting command codes for automated docking.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
TO: What kind of form are you referring?
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
CO:  The away team looks okay.  However, shipside, radiation levels are still on the way up...we've seen about a one percent rise in levels in the last...half hour to an hour.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<OPS_LtJG_Gulash>  ::turns and adjusts the communications settings momentarily::
aCTO_Cmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
<TO George> CO: Well sir maybe we could use the frequency or signal to patch it through the deflector grid and possibly use a repulsion type thing to reflect the effects of the distortions.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CMO: How long until we would have to move away from the planet?
CAG_FO_Williams says:
@::raises an eyebrow ever so slightly:: All: Access codes for automated docking? ::tilts his head a degree:: Pity none of us belongs to the Maquis.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_MCPO_Matthews>  ::continues to monitor from Mission Operations, growing impatient with his own sort of desk duty::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Glances, finally, to Williams at that::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::Looking at Lt. Senn's report::  *CSO*:  Eris, have you filtered out the radiation from this sector in the report?  This is fascinating!
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
CO:  At the current rate, I'd give us somewhere along the lines of three or four hours.  Subject to change, though.
aCTO_Cmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
<TO George> CO: Sir I am guessing at this point but if there is something to what the CSO said and if the SO can figure it out, I am sure we could come up with something from engineering to help us.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::turns back at Raeyld, familiar with her service record booklet::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: pulls up the Kazner system::  *CEO*:  Yes.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Makes a few minor adjustments.::  *CEO*:  You mentioned needing my help... what did you need?
aCTO_Cmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
@XO: What command codes?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
TO: Patch that information to the CSO she is currently working with Mr. Hull as well on the situation and see what you can come up with.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Glances down to the PADD a moment, selecting a series of codes without really thinking, and highlights them. Hands the PADD out to Williams::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CMO: That's not alot of time Doctor.  Let's hope he Away team can get what they need before time is up.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
@::gives the doctor a curious look, but accepts the PADD... nods once, and transmits the highlighted codes to the system::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
*SO*:  Ensign, any luck?
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
*CSO*:  Just looking into my crystal ball, we will need to clear the weakening telemetry from the Three Rivers, the distortion waves are affecting comm, sensors and transporter locks will be next...
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
CO:  It's a conservative estimate.  Probably more than that, but I'd like to exercise as much caution as possible.  Chances are we won't be pressed for time.
aCTO_Cmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
<TO George> CO: Sir it is the SO that has the information...but ok sir...::does as ordered::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Glances back to the panel::
SO_Ens_Lewis says:
*CSO*: I'm still looking, I'm sorry.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::turns back towards Williams, he himself not possessing all the pieces to that particular part of the puzzle::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Leans back without returning Davis' glance. Just looks down at her hands::
CAG_FO_Williams says:
@::while waiting for the authorization code to either be accepted or denied, he glances over the remainder of the PADD::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CMO: Aye, doctor it is always better to be more cautious then take chances when you don't have to especially when it comes to the crew and the ship.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Her eyes scan the area near the black cluster, a still unknown area.  There is one planet around a class G9 star.::  *SO*: Don't be.  You might need to look for something not quite so obvious.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
*CEO*: You know I do not like it when things interrupt my sensors.  It can put me in a really bad mood.
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  Tractor beams lock onto the Three Rivers and begin to guide the shuttle to the outpost.
SO_Ens_Lewis says:
*CSO*: What are you thinking?
aCTO_Cmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
@XO: Sir tractors have locked on to us.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::feels the shudder in the craft, something that feels like further distortion of some sort::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
*SO*:  Given there is borg technology involved, it might not be open to the public.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::the feeling now confirmed, he turns back towards Wolf::  ALL: Well, we're in business then..
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
@::grabs his seat::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
*CSO*:  I understand that ::grins: and I'm just looking to be prepared for any contingency
SO_Ens_Lewis says:
*CSO*: How do I go about finding it then?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
*SO*: Use key words.  You might also need the captain command access level.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
*SO*: This might be something we have to weed through.
Host SMDrew says:
<Automated Signal>  COM: Three Rivers:  Access codes are accepted.  Docking procedures initiated to bay 2.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CMC: What is the status of the shuttle?
CAG_FO_Williams says:
@::doesn't appear all too surprised, finishing looking at the PADD... he shrugs, and moves to hand it back to her::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
*CEO*: Contingency for the loss of my sensors or contingency for my bad mood?
SO_Ens_Lewis says:
*CSO*: Yes sir and I agree
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_MCPO_Matthews>  CO: It appears to be progressing, Captain. There's some sort of energy discharge around the shuttle, but the distortions are making it difficult to scan.
aCTO_Cmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
@XO: Well I guess we passed the test.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_MCPO_Matthews>  CO: It doesn't appear intensive enough to be weapons-fire, though.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: taps a few commands that bring the system 'closer' to her perspective.  More to herself::  By the annoying prophets, I love astrometrics.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Leans forward far enough to take the PADD and leans back, resting it in her hands upon her lap, and resumes looking forward out the shuttle window, not quite wistfully::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
*CSO*:  ::grins::  As I stated...any contingency, foreign or domestic
SO_Ens_Lewis says:
CO: Sir, I might need your help in retrieving this information the CSO needs.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CMC: Understood.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
SO: Try and patch through the probe and get a comm to Commander Davis to see how they are progressing thus far.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: smiles lightly as she puts up a grid with the energy emission pattern::
SO_Ens_Lewis says:
CO: Yes sir, ::taps the console as she tries to set up the link to the shuttle::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@aCTO: I have a feeling there are more questions to come than that.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Just about to sit in her chair she pauses and walks back over to Lewis:: SO: What can I help you with Ensign?
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  The shuttle Three Rivers moves to the outpost under tractor beam control.  As the craft approaches one of the doors opens.  Interior lights flicker to life as the Three Rivers touches down softly within the docking bay.
Host SMDrew says:
