The Folded Edge - Mission 4 - 11103.15
Host SMDrew says:
Summary:  The Claymore now approaches the Black Cluster with only a faint signal from the Visby's transponder showing on sensors.  Debris from the Visby leaves a haunting trail into the Cluster and remind the crew of the Claymore how little time they may have to recover her.

Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::receives no response from the helm, and he moves on to Operations::
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Continues:: CO: Egorov saw the Visby as his own vindication in Starfleet, and the ultimate source of peace to the galaxy. It's nearly impossible that, even if something went so monumentally wrong in his life for him to wish to end it, that he'd in any way risk the Visby in the process.

Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
COM:  DS3:  Admiral.  We have enough reason to believe that this was not a suicide.  It might be worth checking out aboard DS3 is there is anything else going on, to find out who had access to the Visby and what transports are coming in.
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
# :: Pulling up the Admiral's notes on the meeting, she was becoming even more certain that she and the Admiral were not one and the same.  The Admiral was far too organized and meeting-detailed to fit her.::

CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
# :: She smiled as she added her own notes.  Then again... people did change.::
Host Admiral_Cosgrave says:
COM: Claymore:  Understood, Captain.  We have no transports coming into or out of the station for the next forty-eight hours.  We will keep things quiet here and do our own investigation.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@<CEO_Cmdr_Jaxson>  ::moves towards Davis as well::  XO: Jaxson...Chief Engineer. I'd been up here monitoring the launch.
CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Walks over toward Fong and kneels beside the operations station, speaking quietly::  OPS:  Mister Fong...the Claymore's systems were tied into the Visby.  I want you to check for any outgoing signals from before we left spacedock until the present time.
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
COM: DS3:  We will contact you once we know more on this end.  Claymore out.
FCO_Ens_Carter says:
::sighs as he hears no response::
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
::Turns to Damrok.::  CTO:  Commander.  This is more of an investigation then I thought.   You can now add me and Admiral Cosgrave to your suspect list.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::nods, thinking an engineer might come in handy right now::  CEO: Well, Commander, it seems we have our work cut out for us.
OPS_LtJg_Fong says:
::nods:: CTO: I will look over it.  ::spots something in the computer's error checking:: FCO: Did you just try to reach the executive officer on ship comms?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@<CEO_Cmdr_Jaxson>  ::smirks, looking around at the destruction, finally settling on the sun above them::  XO: What exactly do you think we're going to do about this crap, Davis?
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
::Moves over to Science.::  SO:  How are we doing?  Can we get in and find anything?
FCO_Ens_Carter says:
OPS: ...yeah. Sorry.
EO_Ens_Mariner says:
::taps his combadge.:: *Engineering*: I want a report on what the hell happened. Why we didn't have the control to stop the slipstream drive. And I want it yesterday. Is that in any way unclear?
EO_Ens_Mariner says:
<Crewman Darby> *EO*: Perfectly clear, Sir. You'll have it within the hour. Engineering out.
CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Stands from his crouch and turns toward the captain, an eyeridge raised::  CO:  Captain?  Would you care to explain?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_CPO_Richards>  ::moves down slowly towards T'Shara, her chair, and where the ship's XO would normally be::
SO_Ens_Shae says:
CO: Yes, Ma'am.  I have a general triangulation of the majority of what's left of the Visby's location.  I think I've just finished some calculations which will give us better sensitivity within the Black Cluster.
OPS_LtJg_Fong says:
::looks at the OPS panel again and informs the computer that it is correct, and to stop trying to access the XO's combadge, then he begins going over the Claymore's records of the Visby's logs::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::gestures towards the dead helmsman::  CEO: There may be survivors. That would be one thing.
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
CTO:  Admiral Cosgrave and I both had access codes to the Visby.  While it might be unlikely, logically we are still suspects.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@CEO: Finding out a way to contact Claymore would be another...for starters, of course.
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Glances across the bridge for a moment...then steps up toward the conn:: FCO: Ensign Carter...right?  ::Manages a smile, despite the circumstance::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@<CEO_Cmdr_Jaxson>  ::laughs out loud::  XO: You're a fool if you think we'll have luck contacting anyone. We just went ker-frickin-splat on a planet...nothing is working.
EO_Ens_Mariner says:
::mutters an expletive.:: self: why me. why does the crap always fall on my head. whatever. I'm going to find out why we couldn't stop this from happening. we had the equipment. now, who the hell broke it. ::glances quickly around the bridge, wondering if there's a free pair of hands to help him out.::
FCO_Ens_Carter says:
::looks up at Raeyld:: CMO: Yes, Doctor.
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
SO:   Very good, Ensign.  FCO:  Have navigational beacons on stand by.  Place one here and make ready to enter the cluster, one-quarter impulse.
CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Nods a few times, reluctant at first::  CO:  I see...your logic is sound.  ::Walks back over to the third chair, picking up a PADD, beginning a list::
FCO_Ens_Carter says:
CO: Aye, Captain. ::deploys a beacon and sets a course into the cluster:: CO: Ready.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::wonders what is up with this guy...do they only recruit non-achievers in this division?::  CEO: I served as an engineer for several years. You're going to have to do more than to skate out of work.
CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Looks up to tactical::  TO:  Mister Kytides.  Find me the names, ranks, locations...any and all information of any design engineers, dock workers, security, or other personnel who were involved in the Visby project from day one, and start looking through the files for anything out of the ordinary.

FCO: I was wonderi-- ::Pauses, as the Captain and Carter have an exchange, and she steps away, instead:: Some other time... ::Flickers another smile as she withdraws::
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
FCO: Engage.
SO_Ens_Shae says:
::Ready for the ride.  First mission, first time as acting head of Science, first time inside a black cluster.  This day just keeps getting better and better::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@<CEO_Cmdr_Jaxson>  ::sighs, finally realizing Egorov is on the deck::  XO: What's his deal?
FCO_Ens_Carter says:
::engages at one-quarter impulse:: CMO: No, please go ahead.
EO_Ens_Mariner says:
<Crewman Darby> *Mariner*: Darby to Mariner. Diagnostics show nothing out of the ordinary. Everything checked out.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::shrugs::  CEO: He's breathing, but beyond that I don't know.
EO_Ens_Mariner says:
*Darby*: Acknowledged, Crewman. Thanks for that. I'll let you know if I need anything more. Mariner out.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@<CEO_Cmdr_Jaxson>  ::steps back to the tactical console, attempting to access it::
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
::Watches as Raeyld steps away::  CMO: Doctor, may I have a word?
CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Looks to T'Shara a moment, with a professional air, but still some reluctance::  CO:  Captain...when can we get your interview out of the way?  It is standard operating procedure...logically, I'm sure you understand the necessity.
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
# :: With a sigh, she looks at the pile she has gone through, comparing it to the pile she still had yet to go and sighed, wondering if there were any earthquakes due.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_CPO_Richards>  ::looks back and forth between Damrok and T'Shara::
Host Admiral_Cosgrave says:
ACTION:  The Claymore moves ahead slowly, entering the Black Cluster.  The plumes of dark particles envelope the Claymore as she disappears from sight.
SO_Ens_Shae says:
<SO_Ens_Rillian>::Stumbles onto the bridge on her way over to Science.:: Shae: Sorry it took me so long to get here.  What exactly are we looking at?

::glances curiously at Raeyld and the captain::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@<CEO_Cmdr_Jaxson>  ::eyebrows raise as the image of the LCARS reflects on his face, albeit slightly::  XO: There's some computer access here. Minimal power.

CO/CTO:  Even with heightened sensors, I'm only able to 'see' about three hundred kilometers around us.
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
#:: standing, considering an early lunch as she had come in early, stretching her arms upward.::
EO_Ens_Mariner says:
::sends the same diagnostic report he received from engineering to OPS, and appends a note asking if the operations officer had any further input on why systems failed like they did.::
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Glances to the Captain, then back to Carter:: FCO: Just a moment...   ::Steps up to the Captain::
CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
CO:  Of course.  ::Stands aside a moment, nearby to Richards::
Host Admiral_Cosgrave says:
#ACTION:  A time line and forty-six years away a bright flash of white light dances across the desk.  From every corner of the room, lights twinkle and the pain grows in her head.
CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
CMC:  Is there something with which I can assist you, Chief?
FCO_Ens_Carter says:
::watches his console for any signs of turbulence::
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
SO: Understood Ensign.  Continue to monitor around us.  We will proceed with caution.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_CPO_Richards>  ::nods to the Cardassian respectfully::  CTO: Not unless you can tell me how I can pitch in, Commander.
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
#:: groans::  Not again... :: and puts her hands to her temple to stop the pain.::
SO_Ens_Shae says:
Rillian:  We've just entered the Black Cluster.  We're looking for what's left of the Visby.  ::Taps a few times on the console, bringing up readings.:: We're trying to compensate for the gravitational and sensor distortions.  While I've worked on a patch, we may need to compensate manually for the distortions as well.  Keep an eye on that for me.
Host Admiral_Cosgrave says:
@ACTION:  The Visby shifts to her port side as the soft marsh floor yields to the massive structure.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::approaches Jaxson and the console, from the opposite side::  CEO: Is our transponder working?
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
CMO: Doctor, you were saying that you don't believe what Admiral Cosgrave is saying about Egorov is true?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@<CEO_Cmdr_Jaxson>  ::opens ODN network data and tries to trace computer communications into the transponder and communications systems::
OPS_LtJg_Fong says:
::continues to flip through the Visby's message log his eyes flicking back and forth between that and the Claymore's power output.  He sends a reply to the engineering department informing them that he is a communications officer, not an engineer.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
CMC:  Mister Kytides ::Motions with his hand to indicate the officer in question:: is presently working on a suspect list.  You may be able to assist him in filtering it to find someone who might have had reason to sabotage the Visby.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_CPO_Richards>  ::looks around the bridge for Kytides, not knowing who he is::
FCO_Ens_Carter says:
::continues on course to the Visby's last known location::
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
CO: I spoke at length with Egorov that night, Captain. He was full of nothing but excitement and pride, even showed off the Visby's sickbay to me. As a doctor, I am trained to detect the signs of depression and he absolutely had none. Not even a mild case. One does not go from perfectly well-adjusted to suicidal in two days.
SO_Ens_Shae says:
<Rillian> Shae: Acknowledged.  Fortunately, it's not too bad yet.
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
::Nods slightly, with eyebrow raised.:  CMO: Agreed, Doctor.  And why would he invite Davis along for such a ride if he was planning suicide?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@<CEO_Cmdr_Jaxson>  ::frowns after a moment or two, shaking his head::  XO: The ODN relays are too badly damaged to trace network access to most systems, especially something as specific as the transponder. A manual examination may be the only way to test it.
Host Admiral_Cosgrave says:
ACTION:  The first gravitational wake hits the Claymore.  She bounces, sidesteps to starboard, and shakes the crew inside.  Then from nowhere, Commander Senn appears in front of the main viewscreen.
EO_Ens_Mariner says:
::taps an acknowledging request back to ops, and runs a check of the communications systems from an engineering perspective, and doesn't see anything wrong their either. he shakes his head. then puts the claymore's power readings and distribution systems up and eyeballs it for a minute then back down.::

FCO_Ens_Carter says:
::clings to his console as the Claymore shakes, then corrects course::
CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Staggers back toward his seat as the ship shakes...takes a moment to orient himself, then transfers the list Fong's compiled to his PADD for a once-over::
CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Looks forward, and sees an officer huddled there on the deck by the viewscreen, and doesn't recognize them at first::
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
::Quickly looks up as she sees something near the viewscreen.  She sees Senn and rushes over to her::  CSO: Commander, are you all right?
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
:: As the pain recedes, she takes a deep breath and frowns.  The air smelled like ship air, not her office's slightly scented air.  Slowly she opens an eye as she hears a familiar voice.::  CO:  Captain?  Can I answer that question later?
OPS_LtJg_Fong says:
CTO: Visby message log compiled and sent, Sir. ::notices the new person on the bridge, identifies her and glances around.  He spots Raeyld, then turns back to his console, trying to figure out if it was a beam-in.  He also verifies that Commander Senn's quarters are still avaliable.::

<CMC_CPO_Richards>  ::through a quick process of elimination, she reasons who Kytides is, and makes her way back towards where she came from, approaching Kytides::  TO: What have you got, Sir?  ::looks determined to help::
Host Admiral_Cosgrave says:
ACTION:  Two more gravitational wells form below the Claymore, once again throwing her off course.
SO_Ens_Shae says:
<Rillian>::Nods to Shae realizing that she's never seen the CSO.:: Shae: That's Senn, the CSO.
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:

Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::observes a schematic of EPS distribution, and he uses the computer to close of EPS relays that are trying to power destroyed systems, which appear on the schematic as an intricate web of power lines followed by large gaps::
EO_Ens_Mariner says:
::glances up, and noticing someone he doesn't recognize. runs the crew through his head. then realizes it's the chief science officer, not his department so he averts his eyes and continues working at his console, hearing a request for more power he sends an order to engineering to kill any non-essential diagnostics.::
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
::Glances over at Carter::  FCO: As we expected, Ensign.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::watches as the console immediately becomes brighter, and the power readings for the Bridge increase several times their previous level, although they are still shorthanded big time::
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Takes the Captain's distraction with Senn as an opportunity to step back to the conn:: ::Nods a bit:: FCO: I was wondering if you had any medical or first-aid experience? Once we find the Visby, we'll be short-handed in sickbay.
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
CSO: Paperwork?  ::pauses and looks at her:: An estimate of about thirty days, Commander.
TO_Ens_Kytides says:
::Holds himself up against the tactical station, cursing in his mind at the distraction and the size of the list before looking up at the voice, hiding his crossness::  CMC:  Erm.  Without shortening it down, a very long list of names.
Host Admiral_Cosgrave says:
ACTION:  Science sensors beep as it records an increase in the transponder signal.
OPS_LtJg_Fong says:
::notes the throttle usage, and glances at the FCO then nods:: FCO: If I shift power away from the impulse drives you will have to increase throttle to compensate, but we will maintain the same speed and low range maneuverability.
FCO_Ens_Carter says:
::nods:: OPS: Sounds good to me.
SO_Ens_Shae says:
CO/CTO: Ah have a better lock on the transponder signal.  Someone must have found a way to boost the power on their end.
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
:: Whispers under her breath::  Thirty days... :: Looks around::  CO:  Just one more quick question... are we back in our time and place?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_CPO_Richards>  TO: Who is at the top?  ::leans over his shoulder, her physical appearance doing little to eliminate distraction::
EO_Ens_Mariner says:
::glances up.:: OPS: I've killed all non-essential diagnostics from engineering, not a lot of power, but there you have it.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@<CEO_Cmdr_Jaxson>  XO: What're you doing?
CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
SO:  Relay coordinates to the helm, Ensign.  ::Stands again, moving toward the front of the bridge and the small gathering about Senn::  FCO:  Adjust course as needed, Mister Carter.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@CEO: I'm trying to close off some of these loose EPS relays. We don't have much power to use, so we can't afford to have it being distributed to places that can't use it.
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
::Looks at Shae::  SO: That is good news, Ensign.  Perhaps Commander Davis is trying to help us out.  At least it shows that not all is lost.
SO_Ens_Shae says:
CTO: Aye, Sir.  ::Sends the coordinates to the helm.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::continues to close off "loose" relays::
FCO_Ens_Carter says:
CTO: Yes Sir. ::adjusts course to the new coordinates::
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
::Nods::  CSO: Aye, we are in our own time Commander.
SO_Ens_Shae says:
CO: Aye, Ma'am.  Someone out there is more than alive, but very much aware of what is goin' on.
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
:: Patiently waits, sensing this is not a good time, but she really needed to know.::
OPS_LtJg_Fong says:
::shifts power from impulse drive systems to inertial dampeners and forward shields, he adds the bit from the engineering department and checks over the systems watching for overloads::  EO: Can you cut an extra EPS circuit into the inertial dampeners?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@<CEO_Cmdr_Jaxson>  ::begins to do the same::
FCO_Ens_Carter says:
::increases throttle to compensate as the impulse engines lose power::
EO_Ens_Mariner says:
:his fingers fly across the console.:: OPS: Done. Have 4 of them. Need anymore?
SO_Ens_Shae says:
CO / CTO: Ah'm readin' a massive gravitational bubble ahead.  The signal is comin' from inside.  The problem is that we are walkin' blind into the unknown.  It could be a whole system in there or a protostar, in which case, we'll nay last as long as the Visby.
Host Admiral_Cosgrave says:
ACTION:  Another set of gravitational wells burst around the Claymore, throwing her around like a bottle in breakwater.
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
SO: Let's hope we can get to them in time before something else happens.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::on the side, he initiates a scan for life signs through as much of the ship as he can::
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
:: Takes a deep breath as she looks over at the face at science::  CO:  It would appear things are well in hand.  If you do not need me?  I would really like to check on my... daughter.  she is not here is she?  Of course not.  Atlas is still alive and would never leave her alone.  :: shakes her head... too much.::
SO_Ens_Shae says:
::Grasps for the console to keep her upright.::
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
::stumbles as the ship shakes again.::
FCO_Ens_Carter says:
::almost flies out of his seat, but manages to stay floor-bound. Slows to a full stop for a moment before recovering and resuming course.::
OPS_LtJg_Fong says:
::glances upward as the ship rocks:: EO: Any more and we'll risk popping the internal breaker in the dampeners.
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
:: Finds herself back on the floor, still unsteady::
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Stumbles a bit as the ship shakes, grasping the edge of the Conn to keep her balance::
EO_Ens_Mariner says:
::taps back the power a little bit to prevent things from blowing.:: OPS: Whoops. Sorry. Yeah. Call that my lack of caffeination today. but that should help. Let me know if I need to cut it any further.
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
CSO: Your daughter is safe aboard DS3 at the moment.  Things are not well in hand, Commander.  You actually came back at a good time.  We can use all the help we can get.
CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Lurches forward a moment, but keeps his balance::  CSO:  Good to have you back, Commander.  Wish it were under slightly better circumstances.  How do you feel?
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
FCO: Proceed at current speed.
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
SO: Send a probe into the gravity bubble.
FCO_Ens_Carter says:
::back at one-quarter impulse and on course to the bubble:: CO: Yes, Ma'am. ETA three minutes.
SO_Ens_Shae says:
CO: Aye, Ma'am.  ::hits a couple of buttons to prep and launch the probe.:: Done.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::watches as the computer plods through his request, chiming several times as it encounters errors::
OPS_LtJg_Fong says:
::makes an attempt to look at everything at once, fails and continues working within the limitations of the ship's computer.::
SO_Ens_Shae says:
::Watches for the telemetry from the probe.  Hoping all comes back well.::
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
::Nods to Carter::  CSO: Our current situation is we are in the Black Cluster trying to locate the Visby which was torn apart and then thrown into the cluster.  Commander Davis was aboard the maiden voyage of the ship.  There is an investigation into what happened.
Host Admiral_Cosgrave says:
ACTION:  The probe fires from the Claymore and is consumed by the gravity bubble within seconds.
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
:: With a nod, she stands up and makes her way over to the science station.  Not wanting to interrupt the stranger there, she pulls up the recent telemetry to get an idea of what is going on.::  CO:  What do you need from me?
TO_Ens_Kytides says:
::Is unable to hold back the grimace at having to go through the top names, suddenly wondering why he was unsatisfied watching sensors::  CMC:  Admiral Cosgrave, Captain Egorov, Captain T'Shara, and Commander Davis, by rank.
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
:: Glances up with a smile::  CTO:  Thank you... and you have no idea how good it is to be back.
SO_Ens_Shae says:
::Moves aside for the CSO:: CO: Ah'm showing one class-M planet and one red giant star.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::watches as the numbers come back::  CEO: Just 17 survivors
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Moves toward Operations:: OPS: Mr. Fong...
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@<CEO_Cmdr_Jaxson>  ::scoffs again::  XO: I'm surprised there's that many.
SO_Ens_Shae says:
::After moving to sci two spot.:: CSO: Ah'm Ensign Shae.  It's good ta have ya back.
FCO_Ens_Carter says:
::cautiously approaching the gravity bubble; looks over at Shae:: SO: Is it safe?
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
:: Looking through the data:: CTO:  I feel... slightly disoriented... and... :: looks at him::  Unsafe.
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
::Walks back over to science with Senn.::  CSO: Senn this is Ensign Shae your new Science officer.
SO_Ens_Shae says:
<Rillian> CSO/Shae: I'll be down in astrometrics running simulations either of you need me.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_CPO_Richards>  TO: What do you think Captain T'Shara and Commander Davis would have to gain from such an act?
SO_Ens_Shae says:
FCO: It'll be one heck of a ride at best.
CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
CSO:  I understand...as well as I can, without knowing where you've been.  ::Shakes his head...too much at once::  Do not feel the need to jump into things right away.  Take care of yourself, first.  There are plenty of people here to handle the rest.
FCO_Ens_Carter says:
::nods and fidgets with his earring::
CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
CSO:  I should...get back.  ::Motions over his shoulder and turns back to the rest of the bridge, walking down into the command pit again::  SO:  Do we have any telemetry from that probe?
Host Admiral_Cosgrave says:
ACTION:  With a loud rumble a gravity well opens directly above the dorsal shields.  The Claymore pitches down violently throwing standing crew to the floor.
OPS_LtJg_Fong says:
::glances over at Serena for a half of a moment then turns back to the consoles his fingers move without pause or faltering, just a little shake to them:: CMO: Medical suite can be set up. Cargo bay three, or flight deck. flight deck too dark. Will you need?  ::glances questioning at her for another half moment before turning back to the console::
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
:: She looked at the stranger at her station.::  CTO:  It looks like it.  But an extra pair of eyes does not hurt.
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
::Looks to Carter and Shae, then over to Damrok::  FCO: Take us in.  Slow and steady Ensign.
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
::Falls to the floor before she can hold onto anything.::
SO_Ens_Shae says:
CTO: Aye, Sir.  It's goin' ta be rough goin', but there's a planet and a red giant in there.
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
:: Finds herself back on the floor having hit her head on the console.  For a moment she just lies there, seeing stars.::
FCO_Ens_Carter says:
CO: Aye. ::slows to one-eighth impulse as they approach the threshold::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::attempts to scan outside the ship, but immediately receives errors from the computer::
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
OPS: Cargo bay three. Critical life-signs directly to sickbay, more steady life-signs to--- ::Knocked by the violent wrenching of the ship, she flies forward, right into Fong::
CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Almost plants directly on the deck plating, just barely catching himself with his forearms before breaking his face::
SO_Ens_Shae says:
::As she says rough, she gets thrown back against the bulkhead.::
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
:: Hearing the stranger near her she frowned as she tried to sit up.::  CO:  Excuse me?  There is a star and a planet inside a.... what?
OPS_LtJg_Fong says:
::for once he dose not fall from his chair only to have Raeyld land on him. He grips her shoulder, waiting for the dampeners to compensate, then tries to set her back upright uncomfortably::
TO_Ens_Kytides says:
::Continues to try to reign in his frown, thinking::  CMC:  I can't think of any reason, really.  It wouldn't look good for Captain T'Shara, and Commander Davis is on the Visb-  ::Is glad he hadn't yet moved to give Richards more room, his hold on the console managing to keep him from being thrown to the floor too hard::
EO_Ens_Mariner says:
::he loses his grip on the console and falls, striking his head hard enough on the deck knocking him out.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::A little more loudly, as he flops onto his back::  SO:  You don't say, Ensign?  ::Smiles a thin-lipped smile as he tries to get to his feet::
Host Admiral_Cosgrave says:
ACTION:  The Claymore rolls end over end into the bubble only to find a much quieter ride.   The single planet system appears on the main viewscreen as well as sensors.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_CPO_Richards>  ::grasps the console as well, trying to ride out the ugly ride::
FCO_Ens_Carter says:
::closes his eyes as the Claymore enters the bubble... then blinks in surprise as they emerge safely::
SO_Ens_Shae says:
::Slowly sits up and opens her eyes slowly.  Despite the large headache and the bump on the back of her head which she rubs for a moment.  Slowly gets to her feet.::
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
:: Holds on tight to the chair as the ship cants, trying to pull herself up and into the chair.::
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Stumbles back to her feet, a bit bewildered:: OPS: Th--thank you.  ::Quickly looks across the bridge, for any injuries::
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
::As she rolls slightly resting against a console, things become quiet and the movement stops.::
OPS_LtJg_Fong says:
::appears quite remarkably calm despite the ship pitching and rolling.::
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
OPS: Send out a subspace hail to the planet and see if anything returns.
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
:: Quickly logs into the computer under her name::
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
Outloud:  Everyone all right?  ::as she stands, straightening her uniform and looking around the bridge::
FCO_Ens_Carter says:
::exhaling heavily, almost a sigh:: CO: I'm okay.
OPS_LtJg_Fong says:
::checks the subspace communications system, nods to himself, and opens a planetwide hail on all known frequencies, transmitting the standard Claymore greeting:: CO: Hail sent, operations systems functional.
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
:: Simply nods her head as she runs sensors, a quick glance at the officer who was running them a moment ago.::
SO_Ens_Shae says:
CO: Shakin' but not stirred.  At least too much.
CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Gets to his feet and looks over the bridge::  CMO:  Doctor, over here.  ::Points to Mariner, who is toward the back of the bridge::
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
CO:  I am reading a small ship on the planet surface along with seventeen life forms.
Host SMDrew says:
@ACTION:  COM: NX Vis...   This is the U  Clay  Plea   respon..........
TO_Ens_Kytides says:
::Releases his death grip on the console, stepping back slightly to give Richards more room at the console::  CO:  Okay over here, Captain.
Host SMDrew says:
