Picking Up The Pieces Mission 12 - 10903.24
Summary:  The automated self destruct count down continues on Starlight 1 and 2 as the Overton maneuvers to the designated alignment point for the transwarp conduit.
******************** Resume Mission ***********************
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
::On the bridge, at the CONN, awaiting word that the facilities have been destroyed::
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::at mission ops, monitoring the countdown::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::still on the Bridge::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::On the bridge, at Engineering 1 console, monitoring the transwarp and the m/ARA temperature::
CAG_FO_Williams says:
CO: 28 minutes. ::doesn't take his eyes from the console::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Stands from her chair and walks around the bridge a bit.::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::sitting in the bridge operations seat::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CAG: Acknowledged.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CEO: Report.
Host Overton_Computer says:
Outloud:  Automated protocols initiating.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
XO:  We are ready....as ready as we will ever be Commander
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
CO: We are 5 minutes out from our position
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::runs a quick systems check from his position::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Leans back in the office chair, slumping a little from lack of energy to remain upright::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Sits back in her seat opposite the desk from Welland, and lifts her mug to take a sip of the warm, revitalizing spiced tea::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CEO: Think our jury-rigged modifications will hold?
Host Overton_Computer says:
Outloud: Transwarp Generator power-up commencing.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
XO:  ...we will either slip into the conduit, or go up in the biggest ball of fire since the last supernova, but we are ready Sir!
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::quietly monitors the ship's power levels::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::shakes head ever so slightly::  CEO: Not exactly the ringing endorsement I was hoping for..
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
FCO: Noted Ensign.  Once we're in position go to all stop.
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
CO: Power levels rising.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Stops and glances over at the CEO listening to him and Davis speak.::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
XO:  Aye!  If it is a consolation, out of 40 simulations, the Overton only exploded once :grins:
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Finally manages to sit up a bit...secures his tea and takes a sip, pausing a moment as he tastes it::
Host Overton_Computer says:
Outloud: Establishing communication link to transwarp conduit.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::nods with some approval, then moves towards Fong::  OPS: Ensign, I know engineering is soaking up a tremendous amount of power, but you need to be ready to shift that back to weapons and shields in a heartbeat.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Raises an eyebrow::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::walks over to Williams::  CAG: What's our status officer?

ACTION:  Minor vibrations can be felt throughout the Overton.

OPS_Ens_Fong says:
XO: Power levels are showing at 250% of normal, and rising.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Swallows, but the tea goes down the wrong tube, and he begins to violently cough and sputter::
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::ties into the transwarp system and sections off the left hand side of his display:: CO: Much the same. Plenty of waiting... still no giant simultaneous explosion.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Sits back a bit, closing her eyes a moment as she attempts to relax a bit, letting some of the stress, tension, and adrenaline of the past few hours drain away from her system, while still fully aware it's not nearly over yet::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
*Ens. Secord*:  Mr. Secord, watch that port PTC, lock down that temperature, make sure those magnetic constrictors are locked open
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
CO/XO: We are nearly at the designated position, I'm bringing us to a full stop. OPS: You can bleed off the power from the engines
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Sits up a little, alert, but waiting, confident Welland probably has things under control::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::feels the shaking of the ship, and figures it's only going to get worse with additional strain::  OPS: Noted. Keep something programmed on the side for when we need to shift to a defensive posture.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CAG: Understood.  It should only be a matter of time.  Although, it seems longer.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
<Ens. Secord>*:  Aye Sir, we are on it...maintaining! 
Host Overton_Computer says:
Outloud: Transwarp communication established.  Security level Tango 484 Delta 38
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
::slows the engines to full stop::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
FCO: Noted Ensign.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
CO: Precisely, captain. And right at the moment, it's a matter of 19 minutes and 7 seconds.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Glances around a little as she feels the ship begins to shudder, all while keeping a wary-if-distant eye on Welland::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Sets the mug down on the desk and swivels his seat away, hoarsely coughing::
Host Overton_Computer says:
Outloud: Automated navigational control established.  Course laid in and helm control set to standby.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::With a slight breath, turns to look at the viewer::  CAG: Understood.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
CO: You're not considering letting a computer program pilot this ship, I sincerely hope.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Feels the vibration of the ship a bit as they speak::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Takes a slow, deep, measured breath, refusing to let herself be discouraged, frustrated, or annoyed at the turn of events, and slowly releases it through barely parted lips. Letting the threatened feelings pass, lifts her cup and takes another careful sip::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Clears his throat forcefully a couple of times, intermittently coughing a few times before finally settling down::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::nods:: XO: Yes sir.  ::Sets up a power distribution scenario in the event of a combat situation:: XO: Power rising....Three hundred percent....three hundred and five....three hundred and eight....three hundred and ten percent, and holding.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::turns about, cueing in on William's conversation::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
FCO: Ensign do you still have helm control?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CAG: No, Williams that is not my plan at all.  Especially in this circumstance we need a person to react not a computer.
Host Overton_Computer says:
Outloud: Transwarp generators at full power and standing by.  Transwarp coil prefire test complete and online.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Somewhat hoarsely::  MO:  ...It's really very good.  ::Clears his throat again::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::looks at Northcutt, only then coming to the massively disappointing realization that all their faith and hope is in that man::
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
CO: I still have helm control, though the computer has laid in a course based upon the data provided earlier
CAG_FO_Williams says:
All: 15 minutes, and counting.
Host Overton_Computer says:
Outloud: Launch countdown.  5 minutes and counting.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
*Sickbay*: Davis to Sickbay.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Walks back down near her chair and the helm.::  FCO: Understood.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
MO:  Could you get that?  ::Coughs lightly a bit, feeling it's finally passed::
CAG_FO_Williams says:
<FT_PO3_Saurenson> ::steps casually through the doors of sickbay, and glances around::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::has an incredibly bad feeling about this whole plan, but isn't in a place to voice his disagreement::

ACTION: Outside the Overton the large metallic ring begins to spin.  A deep blue glow begins to generate inside the ring.

CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Looks out through the glass, and doesn't see anyone at the main situation monitor::  MO:  Davis, I mean.  I'll be right back.  ::Stands and moves out of the office::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_MCPO_Matthews>  ::turns from one of the auxiliary science stations, monitoring engineer's progress as well::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::makes a note of the interesting visual phenomenon, and puts it on the viewscreen::
Host Overton_Computer says:
Outloud: Transwarp conduit activated.  Startup procedures complete.  All systems are operational.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
Saurenson:  Can I help you?
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
::watches the computer's automated processes closely on the CONN::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Smiles a bit, and leans forward over the office desk to tap the comm control:: *XO*: Sickbay here.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
*MO*: Report, Dr. Raeyld.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CO:  Captain, confirming the Main Computer, all systems are operational within nominal limits
CAG_FO_Williams says:
<FT_PO3_Saurenson> CMO: Oh, I'm sure it's nothing, doc. Was just running some diagnostics on one of the shuttles... ::idly flexes his left hand as he speaks:: damn feedback surge surprised me.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
XO: Commander make sure the nanite torpedos are loaded into the aft torpedo tubes.  Once we are in the conduit make sure we lock onto the conduit control systems on this end and standby to fire as soon as we can.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::nods::  CO: Aye, sir.  ::Looks back to Matthews, who was listening in and heard enough::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::turns to Lieutenant Hull::  Acknowledged.   Let me know if that status changes.  And let's hope it doesn't.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
Saurenson:  Probably best to look, anyway.  ::Peers around the corner into the ward...all is quiet, and assumes that the nurses are probably on rounds or break, as most everyone is out of the operating rooms::  I'll take you over here.  ::Points to a biobed near the door::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_MCPO_Matthews>  ::gets up from his temporary aft station and moves towards Tactical, not waiting for anyone else to make room or tell him anything else::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
*XO*: Eleven critical injured patients have received immediate surgical care. Two did not survive. The remainder are in post-op. Forty-two require non-urgent surgical care, and will be scheduled in the coming hours. There are another... ::Glances at the report on Welland's desk:: ..eighty-three, who have been seen for mild-to-moderate injuries. A few broken bones, plasma burns, exposure and the like.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_MCPO_Matthews>  ::initiates an order for "nanite torpedos" to be loaded into the aft tubes::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::takes her seat::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
XO: May I make a suggestion sir?  ::pauses for a moment, than goes on before he answers:: XO: A shipwide brace for impact announcement just prior to entry sir.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
OPS: Noted.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
<FT_PO3_Saurenson> ::nods, and moves to hop up onto the biobed without any further prompting:: CMO: Like I said, probably nothing too terrible, but they wanted me up here anyway.
Host Overton_Computer says:
Outloud: Initiating transwarp field generation
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
*MO*: Are you in need of any more man power there, Doctor?
Host Overton_Computer says:
Outloud: 3 minutes until launch.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_MCPO_Matthews>  ::notices that the order has been marked as received, and he double-checks the status of the aft tubes while he's there::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
Saurenson:  Always a good idea to be checked out more thoroughly when electrical shocks are involved.  There are sometimes problems that don't have any immediate symptoms that could crop up later without warning.  ::Searches through an equipment cart, and finally locates a tricorder::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Glances through the glass office doors a moment, taking a quick survey of the ward:: *XO*: Not at this time, Sir.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
*MO*: Very well, Doctor. I'll check with you again shortly.
Host Overton_Computer says:
*Shipwide*:  Two minutes to transwarp.  All station to ready.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
<FP_FL_Cerna> ::storms into sickbay, looking none too pleased, and pauses just inside... sort of halfway glaring around until she finds something::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Turns around and looks at the expanse of occupied biobeds...shakes his head::  Saurenson:  Have you experienced any unusual tingling sensations, numbness, shortness of breath, or lightheadedness since the incident?
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
::watches the transwarp reading and trajectories::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Taps away at the biobed controls::
CAG_FO_Williams says:
<FT_PO3_Saurenson> ::thinks for a moment:: CMO: No... no not that I can remember. ::pauses, then just... shrugs::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::Pulls out the hidden chair from the console and sits down hoping the inertial dampeners will work at Transwarp speed::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
*Shipwide*: This is Captain T'Shara we have less than 2 minutes before we enter the transwarp conduit.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
<FP_FL_Cerna> ::continues to watch in that glaring way she is for another moment or two, then... sort of halfway nods, turns, and stalks back out::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Glances, subconsciously, toward the ceiling as she hears the overhead comm, then nonchalantly stands, her mug in both hands, and heads out of the sickbay doors, toward Cerna, since the rest of the staff are on rotation::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
*Shipwide*: All departments please notify status and if your ready.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
Saurenson:  All right.  This'll just take a few minutes.  ::Begins a test to scan his nervous system, then takes the tricorder and checks his vitals::

ACTION:  The transwarp conduit opens in a massive blue flash.  The Overton shakes as the sub-space disruptions bombard her shields.

FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
CO: Transwarp Conduit is open
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::circles around behind Matthews::  CMC: Stay there for now, Master Chief. We might need you.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Reluctantly releases the mug with one hand, and taps her commbadge:: *CO*: Sickbay reporting ready.    ::Pauses near the entry of sickbay, and just leans back against the wall a few or so to the side of the door::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
CO: Operations shows a green board, power levels currently holding at 310% above normal.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
<FT_PO3_Saurenson> ::almost instinctively rubs at the back of his hand a little::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_MCPO_Matthews> ::nods grimly, even though the situation doesn't really call for that emotion just yet::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Holds onto the arms of her chair as the ship rocks.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::moves on towards the aft engineering station::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Puts his hip against the biobed console to steady himself a little bit::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
OPS: Noted.
Host Overton_Computer says:
Outloud: 1 minute until launch.  Warp Drive on stand-by.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::nods to Northcutt::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
Himself:  ::Looking up at the overhead:: Come on you lovely....Hold together Lass!
CAG_FO_Williams says:
<FP_FL_Cerna> ::in the lift, tapping her badge to report:: *bridge*: ::a little harsher than usual:: Carrier wing ready. ::slams the channel closed::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
Saurenson:  Well...I don't see any lingering effects.  Blood pressure is nominal, heart rate steady and normal, no burns...
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Watches the main viewer as her grip tightens a little more::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::looks at the console readout::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::notes the pre-programmed shift of power to transwarp system, and the shields than tries to sit a little tighter in his seat::
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::raises an eyebrow slightly... makes a mental note to talk with her later::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Checks through the biobed monitor, and sees nothing::  Saurenson:  No residual electrostatic charge or nerve damage.  Pleased to say it looks like you're entirely unscathed.  ::Smiles, albeit a bit weakly, on account of his fatigued condition::

ACTION:  Vibrations within the Overton begin to become a bit more violent.  Heavy shutters can be felt as the ship readies for launch.

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CO:  Adjusting the Structural Integrity Field!
CAG_FO_Williams says:
<FT_PO3_Saurenson> ::scratches again at the back of his hand:: CMO: You sure? I mean... ::just shakes his head:: never mind. Of course you are. ::starts to move himself off the biobed::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Sets the tricorder back in the cart and braces his hands against the edge of the biobed console::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CEO: Acknowledged.  Will she hold together Lieutenant?
Host Overton_Computer says:
Outloud: Ten second count down. 10
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CO:  That's problematical Captain
Host Overton_Computer says:
Outloud: 9
Host Overton_Computer says:
Outloud: 8
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CEO: Not what I was hoping for.  But, what I expected.
Host Overton_Computer says:
Outloud: 7
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::braces himself in his seat, and continues to watch the display:: CO: Preignission sequence is underway. If you value preserving your eyesight, I would not look at the viewscreen.
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::boosts power to the inertial dampeners::
Host Overton_Computer says:
Outloud: 6
Host Overton_Computer says:
Outloud: 5
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
::prepares to engage the warp drive to bring the ship into the conduit::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Leans back against the wall, steadying herself with sure footing, yet without quite bracing::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::turns from the aft engineering station::  OPS: Adjust inertial dampeners to maximum, Ensign!
Host Overton_Computer says:
Outloud: 4
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::glances at the CAG:: XO: Aye.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
Saurenson:  If you experience anything unusual, like I mentioned...you can inform sickbay.  I don't foresee any ill consequences, however.  ::Hears the countdown::  Best brace for impact.  ::Staggers over to the wall::
Host Overton_Computer says:
Outloud: 3
Host Overton_Computer says:
Outloud: 2
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CAG: Noted.  ::Turns away and looks at the console on her armrest.::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Smiles unaccountably::
CAG_FO_Williams says:
<FT_PO3_Saurenson> CMO: Brace... for... ::pauses, turns a very slight pale for a second, then... promptly seats himself on the deck::
Host Overton_Computer says:
Outloud:  1 Launch sequence main start.
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
::engages the warp drive to warp 1 to bring the Overton into the conduit::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
*Shipwide*: All hands, this is the Bridge. Brace for impact!

ACTION:  With a flash of light the Overton moves to warp one and enters the transwarp conduit.  The ship shakes as she enters the conduit and begins to accelerate.

CAG_FO_Williams says:
<FT_PO3_Saurenson> ::becomes a slightly more interesting shade of pale::
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
CO: Warp factor 2 and increasing
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::ensures that the viewscreen maintains a 'safe' illumination output level.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
FCO: Acknowledged.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
CO: Starlight destruct sequence commencing.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CO:  Captain, the ship's structural integrity is holding
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CMC: Scan for the transwarp conduit controls and lock on and fire when ready.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CEO: Let's hope it stays that way Lieutenant.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CAG: Understood.
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
CO: We are passing warp 3
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_MCPO_Matthews>  ::looks down at the console, hesitating for just a second as he finds his way across the console to initiate the scan::
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::watches the readout with a slight nod:: All: Starlight 1 destroyed. No confirmation on starlight 2, however its destruction would be a safe assumption.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_MCPO_Matthews>  ::uncharacteristically smiles, perhaps at the ease of the computer locating the target and locking on::  CO: Target acquired. Reverifying order to fire..
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CMC: Fire now.
Host Overton_Computer says:
Outloud: Initiating transwarp coils.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_MCPO_Matthews>  ::immediately enters the fire command::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Glances across the ward quietly at Welland and Saurenson, as well as her patients, littered about sickbay, being tended to by medics and orderlies.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CAG: Is there any way to verify it's destruction other than just assuming Williams?
CAG_FO_Williams says:
CO: Not from here.

ACTION: Photon torpedoes fire out the aft launcher.  They split after 150 meters and fly to their targets impacting each one.

Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CAG: Understood.
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
CO: We are passing warp factor 8
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Finally releases from the bulkhead::  Saurenson:  Are you all right?  ::Kneels to him::
CAG_FO_Williams says:
All: The conduit is closing behind us.
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
CO: We are now passing warp factor 9
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
OPS: Ready power transfer and stand by.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
<FT_PO3_Saurenson> ::looks up at the doctor for about half a second:: CMO: I... I will be. I... think.
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
CO: We are now at transwarp... warp factor 12 reached
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::mutters under his breath:: Self: God help us if this ship fails now.
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::grips the edge of his console:: XO: Power levels now rising again, at three hundred fifty percent.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
FCO: Is the end of the conduit on sensors yet Ensign
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::at the edge of the tactical arc, to the left of Matthews::  
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
CO: Warp factor 14...
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_MCPO_Matthews>  CO: Targets destroyed, Captain. Scanners are distorted, but I have a clear reading on the targets.
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
CO: The ETA for the end of our conduit is 30 minutes
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CMC: Good work Matthews.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
CO: Not good enough. There won't *be* a conduit in 4.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
FCO: Understood.  ::Abruptly turns to the CAG::  CAG: We only have 4 minutes we won't make that.
Host Overton_Computer says:
Outloud: Secondary protocols activated.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
CO: Then I'd recommend you have a seat, captain. You may or may not like what's about to hit us.
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
CO: We are passing warp 16

ACTION: Warning beacons begin to flare from helm navigation.

CAG_FO_Williams says:
All: Conduit failure in 2 minutes, 30 seconds.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Raises an eyebrow and thinks I am sitting is he not looking::  FCO: Is there anyway to get to the end before it hits
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
::Urgently:: CO: Class 9 wormhole detected!
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CO/FCO: We could punch it, Captain, but I'm not sure we'll get out alive.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::attempts to scan the conduit ahead of them::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
FCO: eta on the wormhole?
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CO:  Captain, Structural Integrity at 90%
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::waits quietly for the end as he manages the power distribution systems::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CEO/FCO: If we as Commander Davis stated "punch it"  What are our chances?
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::just gives the captain a look that says "you can not be serious"... sighs, and focuses his attention on his console::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CO:  There is no chance if we do nothing Captain!
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Glances across the medbay, still leaning back against the bulkhead, a strange glimmer in her eyes::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::looks at the Captain intently::  CO: I'd rather die trying something.
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
CO: Passing warp 25!
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
XO: Aye, Commander.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CEO: On that note.  FCO: As the Commander said punch it Ensign now.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
CO: The wormhole is directly ahead of us. I say we go right through it.
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
XO: Power levels now at four hundred percent.  We've passed the last of the safety regulations now, sir.  ::dryly:: Self: I think it is safe to say we have violated the warranty
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
Saurenson:  Just wait it out.  You can get back to your post as soon as this subsides.  Everything will be fine; I'm sure of it.  ::Sits to the floor::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Nods to the CAG:: FCO: Take us in.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
<FT_PO3_Saurenson> CMO: If you say so. ::nods once, glances away from the doctor, tries to stand up and promptly loses both his balance and his lunch::
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
::engages course to the wormhole::
CAG_FO_Williams says:
CO: Less than a minute until wormhole entry. And approximately 30 seconds later, where we are now will no longer exist.

ACTION: As the transwarp collapses the Overton slips into the wormhole.

MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Sort of skips back across the medbay, moving with the to-and-frow of the deck, until she's reached the main office again, without spilling so much as a drop of her tea::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Stands, bracing his hands on the biobed::  MO:  Raeyld...could I get some help over here?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CAG: Noted Williams
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
CO: Warp velocity is off the scale
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
FCO: Understood.  ::turns to Hull::  CEO: Status Lieutenant?
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::ties into tactical sensors as best he can from here, to get a halfway decent glance at what's outside the wormhole::

ACTION:  The increase in pressure begins to act on the crew forcing them down into their seats and / or decking.   Warnings sound across the Overton as her systems begin to fail.

FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
::groans::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CO: We are entering the event horizon Captain, gravity well I believe 
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::braces as best he can in his seat and lets gravity do its worst::
FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
CO: I've lost control of the helm sir
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Flops to the deck and remains there, figuring it for the best option::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::swears quietly, and smacks the side of the console, hard:: CO: Operations console is offline, sir.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CO:  Captain, the ship is under extreme stressors, ::looks around the bridge, every console is flashing warnings::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::feels the pressure force her farther into her seat::
CAG_FO_Williams says:
CO: We've lost sensors. And control of this ship.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Takes one last sip of her tea, then sets her mug into a nice little niche, where the current force of acceleration holds it safely for the time being, and moves flexibly, and relaxedly back to the door of the office, looking back out into the main ward, holding her position for the moment::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CEO: Understood.  ::Looks around at the alarms going off::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
FCO/OPS: Do what you can.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CEO: Anything you can do Lieutenant?
CAG_FO_Williams says:
Self: ::under his breath:: Takit, I will kill you...

ACTION:  The Overton begins to loose its pitch control.  The internal pressure on the crew increases.  Crew begin to loose consciousness.

FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
::struggles to press anything on the CONN in a desperate attempt to do anything::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CO:  Full impulse, keep us from falling further into the well

ACTION:  Power systems go offline across all decks.

OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::hits the top of the console, than the far side than notices how distant the console seems to be.::
CAG_FO_Williams says:
::tries to get himself into a position to better access his console, only winds up on the deck instead::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Closes her eyes as the increasing "gravity" pulls upon her, though with a hint of a smile on her lips::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CEO: That would be difficult Lieutenant I believe we are above warp 24 and bringing us to full impulse would be difficult at best.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
<FT_PO3_Saurenson> ::is clearly trying his very best not to scream... settles instead for the second best option, and passes right out::

ACTION:  Forces inside the wormhole win out over the Overton's crew.  One by one the senior officers blackout from the pressure.

FCO_Ens_Northcutt says:
::collapses onto the CONN:

::Before she can answer everything goes black as she falls onto the deck in front of her.::

::watches the distant point of light that used to be his view of the operations console flick off and floats away into blissful unconsciousness::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::Falls to the deck, unconscious::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::From his position prone on the deck, ceases attempting to cause the ceiling to stop spinning, opting instead to slide off into unconsciousness::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Slips slowly to the ground within the doorframe, consciousness fleeing::

ACTION: The Overton goes black as it tumbles through the wormhole.  Spinning wildly through an endless stream through time and space.  Deep in a dark corner of space.  A hole opens and a battered Galaxy class vessel emerges.  Breaking thrusters begin to fire to slow the vessel.  Inside all is dark...
