Picking Up The Pieces Mission 7 - 10902.17
Host SMDrew says:
Summary:  With the course laid in the Overton maneuvers out of its orbit around Alpha Etti VII.  Slowly the Galaxy Class vessel reaches full impulse and begins its journey out of the system.  The nanite modifications to the main deflector dish seem to be working…  for now…
Host SMDrew says:

FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
::at the CONN on the bridge::
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::comes out from underneath one of the shuttles, after sending a flight tech away and performing the inspection himself... nods, and makes his way across the bay towards the control center::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Quietly, but lightly, steps down the corridor, until she reaches the doors of sickbay, and steps within::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::in Main Engineering, off to the side; he holds a PADD out to Matthews that he hasn't let go of for some time::
TO_Cdt_Tennesy says:
::sitting at tactical on the bridge::
aCTO_LtCmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
::standing just behind the captain's chair on the bridge watching::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_MCPO_Matthews>  ::looks somewhat quizzically, or as close to that expression as he can get, before making eye contact again::  XO: What the hell is this?
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Sitting at the desk in the sickbay office, filing some reports that have been waiting since the recent flurry of activity in sickbay::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::gestures to the PADD::  CMC: I need someone else to have a copy of this. Someone I can depend on.
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION: A rather pungent smell of dead fish wrapped in rotting gym socks spreads through Sickbay.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::Looking at the Master Display Board, watching for alerts to overloaded relays, sees the XO and heads over to him::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_MCPO_Matthews>  ::pauses for a moment, wondering what the implications may be, then takes the PADD and secures it::
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::he steps in, and immediately moves over to consult with external sensors, mostly because the display's active and he can::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::in his quarters, on his bunk,  almost asleep::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::walks up to the XO::  XO:  Commander Davis, find anything? ::looking at the PADD in his hand::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Pauses a moment to straighten her uniform a bit, one which, while not perfect, fits a bit better than before, then steps inside, waves briefly to Welland, and continues to her room::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Sniffs a bit...continues typing, waves back to Raeyld...sniffs again, and shakes his head, feeling he must just be imagining the faint odor::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Exits her office onto the bridge and walks down near the FCO::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::looks at Matthews a little longer than he normally would have, perhaps trying to stress the importance of the information, before turning back to Hull::  CEO: Still working on it, Lieutenant. Where are you at in your preparations?
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
::looks up at the CO::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Exits into her room, and takes a seat on the biobed, leaning over to lift the case from the nearby table::
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::moves to a secondary console, and calls up the personnel manifest... well, at least no one's disputed their new positions yet... he shrugs, and continues to let Cerna run the show here for the moment::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Nods to both tactical officers as she passes::
aCTO_LtCmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
::nods at the captain::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
FCO: What's our status Ensign?
TO_Cdt_Tennesy says:
::acknowledges the Captain::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Sniffs a bit some more, and now realizes he cannot be imagining it...stands and crosses the small office, opens the door, and is immediately nearly knocked over by the odor::
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
CO: We are at full impulse and the main deflector is fully operational, captain 
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::Looks around the Main Engineering:: XO:  I expect it will take about 8 hours to make all the necessary modifications, might be able to get it down if I can eliminate some of the simulations, your call
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
aCTO/TO: How are the modifications and simulations coming on the torpedos?
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::rolls over and looks at the pad of figures and information about transwarp generators, field dynamics, and Starfleet galaxy class power distribution grids.  He chooses the other Padd with the data on what has suddenly become his department::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Closes the door, takes a deep breath, lifts the collar of his labcoat over his mouth and nose, and opens the door again, walking out into the main ward::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::considers the value of these simulations, or their potential value anyway::  CEO: Carry on as usual. If we need to eliminate the simulations, we can always do that on the back end.
aCTO_LtCmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
CO: The modifications are coming along quite well and the simulations are progressing.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
FCO: Ok let's slowly increase to warp factor one.
TO_Cdt_Tennesy says:
::nods in agreement to the aCTO::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
XO:  ...And Sir, these Transwarp Coils by Borg manufacture last 24000 Light Years, the Starfleet ones, well...there has been no testing, even simulations will give us unreliable reports
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
::nods:: CO: Aye... warp 1
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
aCTO: Have we run into any problems that you can see thus far?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::gestures towards Matthews::  CEO: In the meantime, I can offer you Master Chief Matthews's expertise here to assist you in any way. He might be able to help you run some of the simulations even and maybe refine things a tad.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Stands next to the FCO watching::
aCTO_LtCmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
CO: So far no.  Hopefully there won't be any problems.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
XO:  Commander, once these coils go, that is it...there is no re-energizing them
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
::engages warp 1::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Kicks back on the bed, and pages idly through her mother's journal::
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::pokes his head out of the control room, nodding ever so slightly as a few of the pilots start to change into their flight gear... a standard, air wing equivalent of shift change - the duty pilots will soon be dismissed::
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  As the warp velocity increases a small rumble can be felt through the deck plates.  Within seconds the nanites reconfigure the deflector field as programmed.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_MCPO_Matthews>  ::grunts::  CEO: Then we better get it right the first damn time.
TO_Cdt_Tennesy says:
::looks up as the deck rumbles beneath her feet::
aCTO_LtCmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
::breathes a sigh of relief:: Self: First hurdle taken nicely.  Next?
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Spots van Kampen coming into the room, his hand pinching his nostrils shut::  van Kampen:  John, what is that?
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
XO:  ::smiles::  Aye! First time, without a hitch is my motto
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<WO_van Kampen>  ::Nasally::  CMO:  No idea, Sir.  Been looking around for a minute or so, haven't found anything.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
aCTO: Aye, Commander.  Keep me posted on your progress.
aCTO_LtCmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
CO: Yes ma'am.
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
CO: We are at warp 1, no problems noted
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CEO/CMC: I'll leave you to it. I might double back if I get the chance, but who knows.  ::shrugs::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::starts at the low rumble, and watches one of the PADDs fall to the floor.  He tries to catch it, than decides to leave it as it is an obvious sign that he should read the other one first.::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Takes a look around the main ward, having no leads and no real idea::  van Kampen:  Ask around.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_MCPO_Matthews>  ::rolls up sleeves::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::feels the rumble and hopes that's all they feel as they progress higher.::  FCO: Ok Ensign lets slowly take us to warp two.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
Ens. Secord:  Have a scan made of the transwarp coil, then enter the data into the computer, we need to run as many simulations as possible that will give us a baseline of sorts.  Keep running the simulations until the transwarp coils have been installed.  
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Sees nothing, and no one else around, so rounds the corner out of the ward and rings Raeyld's door chime::
aCTO_LtCmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
::prays::
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
CO: Warp factor two, understood
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
XO:  Aye Sir!  I'll keep you informed either way
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
::presses the helm to increase speed slowly to warp factor 2::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::nods, and as he turns he shoots Matthews another look as he heads towards the exit::
TO_Cdt_Tennesy says:
::continues to monitor her station::
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::moves back around the control center, and calls up a ship's readiness report... at the least, it makes for idle reading and at the most, well, he might find something semi-useful::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CMC:  Chief, if you could assist in the transwarp scan, I'll get the computer ready for the data
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Somewhat hesitantly, but calmly:: *CMO*: ...I'm resting. Is there something I can do for you?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::enters the Turbolift after leaving Main Engineering:: Turbolift: Bridge.
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
CO: I am increasing our speed slowly captain, we are at warp 1.1 and increasing
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_MCPO_Matthews>  ::nods::  CEO: Absolutely.  ::heads towards Ensign Secord::
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  The Overton bucks against the subspace disruptions as she passes warp 1.5.  Internal dampeners strain while the nanites work to reconfigure the deflector field.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Caught off-guard, not expecting that reply::  *MO*:  I...just...  ::Pauses, at a loss::  ...there's a smell.  A very bad...smell.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
*MO*:  I wondered if you knew anything.
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
CO: Warp 1.5 achieved... the systems all seem to be responding correctly
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
aCTO/*CAG*: How are things coming with the marine detachment and the simulated tactical raids on the starlight facilities.  ::turns to Commander Wolf as well on this::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::is thrown from his small bunk, and lands on the previously fallen PADD::
aCTO_LtCmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
Self: So far so good.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CMC:  Once the computer begins the simulations, we'll start incorporating the "new" technology into the nacelles control rooms
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_MCPO_Matthews>  CEO: Is there anything we _do_ know about this technology?  Any numbers we can at least start with here?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::arrives on the Bridge and circles down towards the command chairs::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Watches as he gradually increases the warp drive.::  FCO: We can only hope it stays that way.  Nice and slow.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Sighs a bit, but remains well humored:: *CMO*: I'm afraid I might have a suspicion, but I don't think you'll want to come in here to discuss it.
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
CO: We have achieved warp 2 captain, she's still in one piece
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Still very hesitantly::  *MO*:  If it's a bad time, I'll just...come back later.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::finds the Captain without much trouble, pausing while Northcutt reports in and waiting::  CO: Lieutenant Hull says 8 hours on the appropriate modifications, maybe less if he cuts down some of the simulations.
aCTO_LtCmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
::breathes a sigh of relief again::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::her expression not changed::  FCO:  What would be our time to the Kazner system if we were able to make it to warp 7?
aCTO_LtCmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
::blinks::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CMC:  The warp core will be at 1.5 times of normal operations, the PTCs will be working almost twice as hard to power the nacelles.  The ship's forward hull temp will also be elevated.  I'm already working on the increase formula for the Structural Integrity Fields...they will be stressed past their specs
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
*CMO*: Oh no, I'm fine. You can come in if you like...I just don't know if you'd like to. I think the effect is likely much worse in here.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_MCPO_Matthews>  Secord:  Do we have all this in, Ensign?
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
*MO*:  So you're saying...you know what it is?  And you're...willingly in there with it?
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
CO: It'd be just over 7 days at warp 7
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Chuckles a bit:: *CMO*: I'm afraid I haven't much choice. But I don't seem to be as..susceptible to it.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Turns around to face Davis::  XO: Noted.  I don't want him to cut down on all of the simulations.  We need to know if this will work.  I don't want to take anymore chances that we don't have to.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::moves over to the replicator, grabs himself a cup of black coffee, and returns to his reading... again, with a small shrug::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
<Ens. Secord>:  CMC:  Yes, the raw data is in the computer, just need to know how this transwarp will react to the Starfleet warp core output
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::nods, glad that he provided a response of his own somewhat in line with the Captain's::  CO: I told him to run his simulations as planned; we'll eliminate them later if needed. Master Chief Matthews is in Engineering lending Mr. Hull a hand.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Looks at Davis:: XO: Well commander that would give Hull plenty of time.  ::Half smirks::  FCO: Acknowledged.  Begin slowly taking her to warp 3.
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
CO: Aye sir, warp 3
aCTO_LtCmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
::hears his combadge and whispers into it telling them to maintain their patrols::
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
::slowly increase the speed of the ship::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Shakes his head a bit, surprised at her attitude, but not dismayed::  *MO*:  Very well, carry on.  Welland out.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_MCPO_Matthews>  ::nods::  Secord: I guess that is the trick. Do we have any data on similar technology, Borg or otherwise?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_MCPO_Matthews>  ::gestures to the console::  Secord: At least that would give us a starting point.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
XO: Aye.  Good work Commander.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Continues back through::  van Kampen:  See if you can get the environmental system to adapt.
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  Two EPS junctions blow out on deck 18 as the power strain starts to become apparent.  The nanites continue to work as planned and with some minor shaking the Overton continues at warp 3.0
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
Ens. Secord:  Get a team working on the transwarp generators that were on The Three Rivers, without those, this will be a lost proposition, they will provide the extra boost in plasma flow to the Starfleet transwarp coils
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<WO_van Kampen>  ::Nasally::  CMO:  Sir...?  It can't be gotten rid of, whatever it is?
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Taps her combadge:: *CMO*: Raeyld to Welland. Is there any paperwork or anything I can help out with while I'm here? I'm feeling rather clear headed.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::with the ship continuing to shake, he sighs ever so slightly and taps the console off, heading out of the control room and into the bay proper::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
<Ens Secord>:  CEO:  Aye Sir, already have them tasked, should be in place and tested within the hour
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Smiles as he speaks::  *MO*:  Nope.  Welland out.
TO_Cdt_Tennesy says:
::continues to maintain her post while listening to those on the bridge around her::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
van Kampen:  I don't know.  You'd have to take it up with her.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<WO_van Kampen>  CMO:  Her?  Raeyld?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::nods and watches as Gulash appears on the Bridge::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Shrugs a little at Welland's somewhat curt reply, but decides he must have simply had other things to deal with, and goes on with reading::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
van Kampen:  Yes.  Just...see if you can get environmental to adapt.  ::Starts back toward the office, and the exit::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::looks back towards T'Shara::  CO: I'm going to consult with Dr. Welland quickly on emergency protocol. I don't necessarily trust new technology like this, and I'd like to make sure we know what the contingency plan is.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
Ens. Secord:  Excellent!  Nothing goes live until we all look at the simulation findings, understood ::looks at Ens. Secord, and CMC Matthews::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::decides that the floor is an uncomfortable bed, and climbs back into his bunk, pulling the PADD with him::
aCTO_LtCmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
CO: My marines are ready to go.  They have been drilled by using simulations on the holodeck for the Starlight facilities.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
FCO: Ok well still in one piece let's try warp 4.  ::Waits and watches as she feels the shake of the ship as they continue to climb::
aCTO_LtCmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
::Looks at the CAG::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_MCPO_Matthews> ::sits down at the console next to Secord, bringing up his simulation data and searching the library computer system for similar data::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<WO_van Kampen>  CMO:  But...shouldn't you at least find out what it is?
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
<Duty Engineer>:  CEO:  Sir, we just lost two EPS conduits on deck 18
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
CO: Warp 4 it is captain
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
::increases speed slowly towards warp 4::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Smiles more broadly::  van Kampen:  When it comes to Raeyld, I've learned not to ask.  ::Continues on, grabbing his PADD out of the office::  Anyway, not my problem;  I'm going to go put my feet up a while.  Been on duty for too long as it is.  Have fun.  ::Wheels around and heads out of sickbay::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::glances back at Davis and nods::  XO: Aye, better to be prepared just in case.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::immediately makes way for the Turbolift::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<WO_van Kampen>  ::Stews a moment, then just sighs and heads over to the environmental controls to attempt to isolate the issue, pausing a half-second to tap his combadge::  *MO*:  Doctor Raeyld, this is van Kampen.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
aCTO: Understood.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
Duty Engineer:  Have damage control parties respond, work on spreading the power load throughout the entire ship, that should lighten some of the load ::looks up to the overhead::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::re-enters Turbolift::  Turbolift: Sickbay.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::A patient smile evident in her voice:: *van Kampen*: Raeyld here.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Crosses the corridor and enters his quarters, turning the lights on to about 30% and kicking off his boots just inside the door::
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::after pondering for a moment, finally decides to tap his badge to respond:: *CO*: The simulations are going as well as can be expected. For a group with their own code and little idea what it is.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
Ens. Secord:  When you get a moment, check that PADD from the Three Rivers, check the schematics on the transwarp conduits, make sure we didn't miss anything
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  As the Overton reaches warp 3.9 one of the main deflector emitters shatters under the strain.  Backup emitters come on line.  Through out the ship slight creaking can be heard from the main support structure of the Overton.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<WO_van Kampen>  *MO*:  Ma'am, is there anything I can do for you?  Bring you some water, prepare a meal for you, get you some reading material...take out your garbage...?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_MCPO_Matthews>  ::isolates previous Borg transwarp data and begins playing with the numbers in his own simulation::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Glances about at the sound, but otherwise sits back::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
*CAG: Acknowledged.  That is all we can ask for at this time.  Keep me posted if there are any problems.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::again exits the Turbolift, seemingly on a (mini) mission; he heads directly for Sickbay::
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
CO: captain we have reached warp 4...
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
Himself:  Bogus Trot! ::heads over to the master display console, programs new settings for the ship's structural integrity field, increasing strength by 10%::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::looks around at the creaking noise, and hopes she can hold it together under the strain::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::is once again jarred from his bunk, and curses the floor, than drags his mattress off the bunk, and rolls onto it.:: Self: The station never shook like that, and it never made noises like that.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Takes off his labcoat and plops down on the easy chair, reclining and look at his PADD::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::turns right, and then makes a quick left into Sickbay::
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::raises both eyebrows at the new developments aboard ship, and just shakes his head:: *CO*: I do have one... minor little question, captain. ::pauses, then nods once:: Are you *trying* to tear the ship apart, or did you actually intend to get there first?
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Chuckles a bit, faintly:: *van Kampen*: I could certainly do with a bit of work to attempt while waiting here, if you have anything that could be transferred to my PADD. Otherwise, everything is fine.
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
::pulls up hull integrity charts on his console::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
*CEO*: What's your status Lieutenant now that we are at warp 4?
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
Overton:  ::Looks up at the overhead::  Hold together you beauty, hold together!  
TO_Cdt_Tennesy says:
::bites her lip with the groaning ship::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<WO_van Kampen>  *MO*:  Look, it's none of my business, but...what on earth or beyond it is making that smell?  And have you got it with you?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Nods to Northcutt as she receives a comm from Williams.::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
*CO*:  Things are getting a bit interesting here Captain, making adjustments as we go!
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::scans the room, wondering who the hell is in charge and how many rooms of the facility he'll have to destroy on this particular visit::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
*CAG*: We're taking things slow and we have everything under control.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Pauses an audible moment, then continues genially:: *van Kampen*: I think it might be a beverage I was given. If you activate the individual ventilation system of this room, and recycle the air in the main lab, the problems should clear rather quickly, I imagine.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<WO_van Kampen>  ::Looks up as someone enters, but is busy, and won't be bothered unless he's actually bothered::  *MO*:  I'm working on it now.  My apologies, Commander.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
*van Kampen*: Not a problem. Thank you for asking. Raeyld out.  ::Lies back again upon the bed::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
ALL (Sickbay): Who the hell is in charge here?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
*CEO*: Acknowledged Lieutenant.  We will continue to take it slow up here as well.  Let me know if any problems arise.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<WO_van Kampen>  ::Works a bit with the environmental controls, and puts Raeyld's room on an individual loop::  XO:  I am.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
WO: Where is Dr. Welland?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
FCO: With that let's take it to warp 5.  ::holds onto the console and waits::
CAG_FO_Williams says:
Self: I'm sure you do. ::snorts slightly, and takes another idle pull from his coffee cup:: I'm sure you do.
aCTO_LtCmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
::hears the soft beep of his console and moves over to it::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
Ens Secord & CMC:  The computer has begun the simulations, let's get these transwarp coils up to the port and starboard nacelle control rooms, Secord take 1 & 2 to the port nacelle, CMC Matthews and I will take #3 & 4 to the Starboard.  
aCTO_LtCmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
TO: Cadet what do you have?
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
CO: Increasing to warp 5... slow and steady ::taps his console::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<WO_van Kampen>  XO:  In his quarters, as far as I know.  You'd do better consulting the computer, Sir.  ::Continues tapping at the controls, flushing the air from the rest of Sickbay, and sighing with relief as it gradually clears::
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
CO: Warp 4.1...
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::eyes van Kampen curiously for a moment, then stops::  WO: You want to come here for a second?
TO_Cdt_Tennesy says:
::taps the console before her checking the warnings:: aCTO: Checking now.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
*CO*:  Aye Captain, we are about to install the transwarp coils in the nacelle control rooms, once they are fitted and tested, we will be near ready.  Computer is also running simulations to give us some baseline data
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_MCPO_Matthews>  ::stands up from the console and waits for Hull::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<WO_van Kampen>  ::Closes out the panel, and walks over to the XO, standing at attention::  XO:  Yes, Sir?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Still holding the console watches as it climbs::
aCTO_LtCmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
CO: I am getting some indications on the tactical console.  Checking now for the reason.
TO_Cdt_Tennesy says:
aCTO: It appears that Alpha Etti star is about to go nova.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
WO: I think we can both assume that I know how to use the computer as this point in my career.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
WO: I didn't ask the Computer, though.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
WO: I asked you.
aCTO_LtCmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
::blinks:: TO: The what is going to go nova?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
WO: Get Dr. Welland...now.
aCTO_LtCmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
TO: Watch that planet.
aCTO_LtCmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
CO: Sir Alpha Etti star is about to go nova.
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  The Overton reaches warp 5.  The creaking continues from the sheer forces acting on the ship.  The forward leading edge of the Overton begins to glow red from the added pressure.
TO_Cdt_Tennesy says:
aCTO: The Alpha Etti star is going nova Sir. ::repeating herself:: aCTO: Yes Sir.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::Grabs an anti-grav and attaches it to the coils::  CMC:  The Engineer who designed these should win the Magna-Zina prize for original thinking! ::starts walking the coils up the PTC Jeffries tube to the Nacelle control room::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<WO_van Kampen>  XO:  Yes, Sir.  ::Taps his combadge::  *CMO*:  van Kampen to Doctor Welland.  Commander Davis is here in sickbay to see you.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
*CEO*: Acknowledged.  We are increasing slowly to warp 5.  Northcutt informs me if we can reach warp 7 it will take us 7.5 days so you have time to run simulations.
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
CO: Warp 5 achieved
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
*van Kampen*:  Understood.  I'll be there in a few minutes.  Welland out.
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
::is growing increasingly concerned with the ship's integrity::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_MCPO_Matthews>  ::assists Hull, following in suit, a curious silence enveloping him--his own response to the wonderment that is this technology::
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::finishes his coffee, and recycles the container, before again sighing ever so slightly... he heads out of the bay, stepping into the nearest lift, and ordering the bridge::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
*CO*:  Acknowledged Captain, Hull out
TO_Cdt_Tennesy says:
aCTO/CO: It'll go nova in approximately 12 minutes.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Sighs, unreclining his chair, and putting his jacket back on, zipping it up and giving it a solid tug...walks back to the door and puts on his boots::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::shakes head, wondering if his reputation and past indiscretions in Sickbay lead the staff to treat him as they do::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<WO_van Kampen>  ::Continues standing right where he is, at attention::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
aCTO/TO: Understood.  Keep monitoring it and we will see if we can get clear before that happens.
TO_Cdt_Tennesy says:
CO: Yes Sir
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
FCO: Take us to warp 6.  We need to try and get clear of that star before it goes Nova.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::After turning a few more pages, sets her book aside in its case, replaces the case beneath her bed, and lies back again, letting her eyes rest closed, smiling softly at the quiet of the room...a moment of peace::
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
CO: Warp 6... ::taps his console:: increasing speed now
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::steps off the lift and onto the bridge, making his way straight towards one of the secondary stations and transferring his information to it, before glaring at the view screen as he overhears the CO::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::eyes van Kampen again, but figures a warrant officer is not worth his wrath::  WO: Thank you. Carry on.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Exits, turning out the lights, his PADD still in hand, and crosses the corridor into sickbay, seeing van Kampen and Davis there just inside::  XO:  Commander, what can I do for you?
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CMC:  This climb will take at least 20 minutes, if we don't stop, unfortunately, artificial gravity is in play while in the nacelle struts.  Engineers didn't think to have it turned off or at least lighter than Earth gravity ::climbs while he is chatting::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<WO_van Kampen>  XO:  Yes, Sir.  ::Turns on his heel and disappears into the ward::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_MCPO_Matthews>  ::continues to climb as well::  CEO: No worries, Lieutenant. Old doesn't mean unfit....necessarily.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Glances over her shoulder as she hears the turbolift and notices Williams.::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
*Ens. Secord*:  Status Report Mister
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::turns towards Welland::  CMO: I appreciate you coming on such short notice, Commander. Where are we with emergency protocol here?
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  The Overton passes through warp 5.5 as the nanites franticly work to keep the deflection field modified for each new subspace disruption.  As the Overton reaches warp 6.0 warnings begin to sound in engineering...
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
<Ens. Secord>:  *CEO*:  Sir, Ens. James and I are at the halfway point, we should be at the port nacelle control room in another 15 minutes!
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::meets the captain's eyes, then just shakes his head:: CO: I've decided it would be more beneficial to my own survival not to ask.
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
CO: Warp 5.8... Warp 5.9... Warp 6
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::Stops and looks back at the CMC::  CMC:  no pressure from the young, always keep you on your toes!
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
XO:  With regards to what circumstances, exactly?  Most of the staff is on standby at the moment, and we have a medical team posted in engineering.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Turns around at the comment::  CAG: If your not here for anything more beneficial than questioning my command you are relieved of duty and can return to your quarters until summoned.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
<Duty Engineer> *CEO*:  Lt. Hull, Safety limits on the warp core power output has been reached!
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_MCPO_Matthews>  ::offers a wry smile as his body refuses to relent in the climb::  
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::nods:: CMO: What does that team consist of exactly?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
FCO: Nicely done Ensign.  aCTO/TO: How much time do we have?
TO_Cdt_Tennesy says:
CO: 6 minutes until the Star goes Nova Sir.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
TO: How long until we are clear of the star?
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::shrugs again, and closes out of his console, getting up and starting back towards the lift::
TO_Cdt_Tennesy says:
CO: 8 minutes at warp 6 Sir.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
XO:  One doctor, one nurse, and one medical technician.  I'm going to rotate that group out at the next shift change;  I'll probably take it myself for a while.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::Stops his climb, taps his COMM Badge::  *Duty Engineer*:  Noted, monitor and keep me advised, nurse maid the core as best you can, Hull out
TO_Cdt_Tennesy says:
::trying to keep her voice even having heard the conversations from the others::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
TO: recalculate for warp 7 Cadet.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::Continues the upward climb::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CMO: In the next seven or eight hours, we're going to have some potentially volatile technology adapted to our existing systems. I'd like to be prepared for a mishap, just in case.
TO_Cdt_Tennesy says:
CO: Yes Sir ::glancing up once at the CO before going back to her console and the calculations::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::shrugs::  CMO: We really don't know too much about what we're dealing with, so I don't think there's a point where we're being too careful here.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::steps back onto the lift, waits for the door to close, then requests the level his quarters are on with little more than a haphazard shrug of one shoulder::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
*CO*:  Captain, we have reached our safety limit of output for the warp core
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  The OPS console begins to sound warnings as the upper safety limits of the warp core power output is reached.
TO_Cdt_Tennesy says:
CO: At warp 7 it will take 5 minutes Captain.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
XO:  Understood.  I can bring every shift up to hot standby, if need be.  We've been pretty busy in the last couple of hours, but most of the staff is rested at this point.
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
::looks over at the OPS console::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::nods, understanding these kinds of constraints::  CMO: In about six hours, I think that might be wise.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CMO: Have your people been briefed on saucer separation as well?
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::can't sleep in these conditions, and goes quietly to the small porthole in his quarters, watching the star field slowly changing, and the disturbing red glow that is filtering through the porthole::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
*CEO*: I need more power Mr. Hull.  We need to increase to warp 7 to get clear of the star that is about to go nova.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
TO: acknowledged Cadet.
TO_Cdt_Tennesy says:
::nods hearing the Captain not even lifting her head this time::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
XO:  No, we haven't really covered that.  Wasn't an issue on the Claymore, of course...I should probably have a meeting with the staff chiefs and go over things, and put out a memorandum.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::steps off the lift on the appropriate level, moves down the corridor, making a left here, and a right there, before arriving at his quarters... he steps in, and taps the control panel to lock it closed::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Looks at the OPS console at the warnings going off::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
*CO*:  Aye Captain, We are nurse maiding the core from this point forward, you need to be aware of the danger
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CMO: Maybe even addressing it on the fly here. We're responsible for quite a few more people here, so these things need to be known.
Host SMDrew says:
<OPS_Ensign_Babbett>:  CO:  Captain we can reroute some of the power from aux systems.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CMO: Last thing...what's the status of the drunk the away team brought back?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::frowns::  CMO: Or do you even know? I'm not sure if he's been seen.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
XO:  I'll get on it immediately.  ::Pauses a moment to think::  The drunk...?  ::Thinks a moment....remembers noting an elevated blood alcohol level in Fong's scans::  Oh, the Ferengi?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::nods::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
*CEO*: Understood.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
*CEO*: Reroute power from aux systems and if need be drop the safety protocols from the warp core.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::kicks off his boots as he enters his quarters, and with one swift movement, gets himself seated on the floor and begins to idly, casually stretch out his legs::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
FCO: Take us to warp 7 the minute power is available.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
XO:  He'll take his first shift tomorrow.  Had some moderate injuries...I can't approve him going back to duty until he's gotten some more rest.
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
::quickly increases speed as much as the current power output will allow::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::hopes the Ferengi is not hitting the bottle as part of his recovery routine::  CMO: I'll trust your judgment there, Doctor.
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
CO: We'll get there
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Nods, not really sure how to take that, but mostly disregarding it::  XO:  Is there anything else I can do for you?
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
*CO*:  Captain, we have the power, it is just that we have too much, the core could breech before we have all this transwarp technology installed, once the coils are in place, things should equalize
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::shakes head::  CMO: No, that's all. Just get your people as ready as possible. This could get...
TO_Cdt_Tennesy says:
::whispers to herself:: I hope so ::trying to concentrate on her job::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Nods to Northcutt::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::pauses, trying to think of a tactful way of putting it::  CMO:...a little messy.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
*CEO*: How long before the coils are in place Mr. Hull?
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
<Duty Engineer> ::Adjusts the warp core settings, adjusting the plasma magnetic constrictors::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Nods, and the look in his eyes proves he understand the gravity of the statement::  XO:  Will do, Commander.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::continues stretching, his breathing evening out ever so slightly as he does so::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
*CO*:  We have another 10 minutes to climb up to the nacelles, should be within the next half hour
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
FCO: Continue to increase as power allows Ensign.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::turns and spins out towards the exit, knowing Welland won't disappointment::
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
CO: I'm giving her all I can get
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
*CEO*: That will be too late for us to get clear of this star.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
TO: Status?
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION: The skilled pilot of the Overton continues to increase the warp velocity to warp 7.  The ship pitches hard to starboard as the nanites reach their maximum ability.
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
::grabs his console and presses down hard to push the ship port::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::watches the star field change radically, and wonders if they are shifting course::
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
Self: Come on...
TO_Cdt_Tennesy says:
CO: The Star is going Nova Sir. ::watches the screen::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
*CO*:  Can you give me a number?  What do we need to do?  10 - 15 minutes?
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::skids a little across the deck as the ship takes a sudden trip of its own:: Self: That damned Maquis of yours could probably fly this thing with greater skill...
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Takes a deep breath, steeling himself a moment, then returning to normal::  *Amica/Rhiis*:  Welland to Amica and Rhiis.  Meeting at the nurses' station in five minutes.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::Hanging onto the rung of the Jeffries tube as the ship pitches::  CMC: Hang on Chief!
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Looks up at the screen, holding onto the console::
TO_Cdt_Tennesy says:
::grabs her station to remain in the seat as the ship pitches sideways::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
*CEO*: Now, Lieutenant.
aCTO_LtCmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
::grabs the rail::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::Looks down at the CMC::  CMC:  You up for a sprint up the ladder Chief, we need to get this installed; yesterday!
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  As the Overton is corrected the Alpha Etti star explodes instantly wiping out the system.  Debris traveling at near light speed race out in all direction.  The energy field stopping short of the aft section of the Overton.
aCTO_LtCmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
::shields eyes::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Tries to stabilize herself as the ship pitches::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<CWO_Amica>  ::Rubs his eyes, waking up a bit and belatedly processing the request::  *CMO*:  Aye, Sir.
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
CO: Course corrected
TO_Cdt_Tennesy says:
::looks away from the screen while still clinging to her console::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
<CPO_Rhiis> ::Hops up from her couch and slaps her combadge as she grabs her coat in the midst of dashing across the room:: *CMO*: Aye aye, Capt'n.
aCTO_LtCmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
CO/TO: That was way to close for my liking.
TO_Cdt_Tennesy says:
::isn't letting go of the console yet and only nods to the aCTO::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::straightens herself and looks down at Northcutt::  FCO: Good work Ensign.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
aCTO: Aye Commander.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_MCPO_Matthews>  CEO: Lead the way!
aCTO_LtCmdr_Silver_Wolf says:
FCO: Well done son.
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  The ship rumbles slightly then smoothes out as the nanites continue to make corrections.  Power from the warp core stabilizes and the creaking slowly dissolves into background noise.
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::notes the distant flash, than narrows his eyes and looks out the porthole as the searingly bright indirect light of the supernova smacks him in the face like a thrown ball.::
Host SMDrew says:
