Where Have all the Marbles Gone? - Mission 5 - 11107.12

Summary:  1700kms into the Ellean Nebula the Claymore has discovered billions of cubic tons of Duranium.  And within the pile of Duranium a Undline Bioship.  While radiation and pressure have leveled off the Claymore continues to absorb the radiation from the nebula.  Within 28 minutes there will be no exit for the Claymore and her crew.

<Dr_Ellean>	*********** Resume Mission ***********

<CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok>	::Continues watching the short range boards, looking for any sign of movement or increased power in the Species 8472 vessel::

<Dr_Ellean>	::Nods to the Captain and heads to the Turbo Lift.::

<SO_Ens_Hawk>	::Continues to monitor the passive science sensors::

<FCO_Uhlan_Talin>	::holding the ship stationary against the nebula's eddies ::

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	SO/OPS: Have we determined an area to transport from?

<CO_Capt_TShara>	FCO: Turn the ship 180 degrees.  Maneuvering thrusters only and make sure it is really slow.

<SO_Ens_Hawk>	XO:  OPS can confirm, sir, but I believe the plan is to get whatever is in the middle of the pile.

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::turns to Fong::  OPS: That the plan?

<FCO_Uhlan_Talin>	CO: Aye ma'am, turning 180 degrees, maneuvering thrusters :: complies instantaneously ::

<CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld>	::Continues to monitor the Undine vessel, furrowing her brow. Why is it in a horribly radioactive nebula?::

<TO_Ens_Kytides>	::Stands at the primary tactical station, watching the Undine ship for activity::

<OPS_Lt_Fong>	::ready to activate the transporters.:: XO/SO: Any further out and I won't be able to get a clean lock.

<CEO_LtCmdr_Hull>	SO:  Ens. Hawk, what do you think of using the main deflector dish to act like a lightning rod, we can funnel the radiation through the ship's hull plating, and out into space. 

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::nods::  OPS: Then let's not waste time.

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	*CEO*: Davis to Hull.

<Dr_Ellean>	::Waits by the turbo lift after the endless walk at old person speed.::

<SO_Ens_Hawk>	CEO:  Could work sir.  Problem with that is it takes what little we have of deflectors offline and risks serious damage to the dish.

<CEO_LtCmdr_Hull>	::Looks over his shoulder::  XO:  Commander, I'm here on the bridge

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::double-takes, slightly bewildered::

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	CEO: Well then.

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	CEO: Do you have crew in the bay area prepared to deal with this sample?

<OPS_Lt_Fong>	::closes his eyes for a moment then signals cargo bay one to stand by to recieve the transport, he then pulls up a screen on his console with the multitude of variables that apply to the manual transport procedure filling them in as quickly as he can.::

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	CEO: Given its radioactivity and such?

<CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld>	::Charts the life signs of the biovessel and the Undine itself across a graph for the time they've been in sensor contact::

<CEO_LtCmdr_Hull>	XO:  Aye, they are suited up and ready to test

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::nods::  CEO: Thank you.

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::turns to T'Shara::  CO: Now or never, Captain.

<Dr_Ellean>	::Enters the turbo lift and orders cargo bay 1.::

<CO_Capt_TShara>	CEO: Let them know Dr. Ellean is on his way to join them Mr. Hull.

<CO_Capt_TShara>	::Nods to Davis::  XO: Aye, Commander.

<Dr_Ellean>	::Rides the TL humming a merry little tune while he waits.::

<MOPS_LtJG_Gulash>  ::tenses just a little, watching the sensors and the lack of information they are revealing right now in their current set-up::

<CO_Capt_TShara>	FCO: Uhlan are we in position?

<OPS_Lt_Fong>	::flicks his fingertips over buttons ignoring most of the rest of the bridge noise as he focuses on the transport:: Aloud: Energizing.

<CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok>	::Turns and watches Doctor Ellean disappear from the bridge...looks back to his console, unsure::

<FENG_Capt_McDaniels>  ::still sitting at an aft station, watching::

<CEO_LtCmdr_Hull>	CO:  They have been notified, Lt. Secord is leading the team, he has experience with this protocol

<Dr_Ellean>	::Exits the TL and enters cargo bay one.::

<FCO_Uhlan_Talin>	CO: yes ma'am

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::moves back around towards Damrok::

<CO_Capt_TShara>	FCO: Prepare a course for the Ellean Research Facility best possible speed.  Try 1/2 impulse and if you can give it more without hurting the ship do so.  Work with engineering on hull and warp stress as we go.

<CO_Capt_TShara>	CEO: Understood Commander.

<Dr_Ellean>	ACTION:  The transporter beam locks onto an area of Duranium.  At the exact moment the Undine Vessel goes to full power.   A single spatial anomaly begins to form.  Transporters continue to work on collecting the sample as the Undine bioship begins to move.

<FCO_Uhlan_Talin>	CO:  Understood :: hands over the controls :: CO:  Preparing 1/2 impulse now... taking us to the station

<Dr_Ellean>	::Moves through the cargo bay and waits near the cargo transporter.::

<TO_Ens_Kytides>	::Immediately starts up an active scan of the Undine vessel as soon as he sees the movement::  CTO:  Actively scanning, Sir.

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	CTO: Commander, will we be able to restore shields immediately after leaving the nebula?

<CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok>	XO:  Target is on the move, Sir.  ::Begins zeroing in with the sensors::  And yes, Sir, we will.

<CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld>	::Looks up:: CO: Captain.  I'd like to recommend leaving behind a science probe before we chart out. Something programmed to make a sweep of the interior of the nebula, perhaps get a clearer view of why the Undine might be here.  Programmed only to activate once we're clear, and to sweep near the perimeter of the nebula to transmit data occasionally

<SO_Ens_Hawk>	::starts at the readings on his console::  CO:  Undine ship at full power, Captain.

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::nods, then thinks for a moment::  CTO: Any ideas on...unconventional weapons, in case we need them?  ::eyes the Cardassian::

<SO_Ens_Hawk>	CO:  Spatial anomaly forming as well.

<OPS_Lt_Fong>	::types repeatedly on the console surprisingly cool:: Aloud: Transport still in progress.

<Dr_Ellean>	ACTION:  Within Cargo bay one the sample finally fills the radioactive container.

<CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld>	::Tilts her head slightly as she hears Hawk's report, then watches for it on her console::

<OPS_Lt_Fong>	::nods with satisfaction:: Aloud: Transport complete.

<CO_Capt_TShara>	SO: Is the Undine vessel heading to the anomaly?

<Dr_Ellean>	ACTION:  The Undine Vessel enters the spatial anomaly.

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::hears a little tension in voices forward on the Bridge and looks up for a moment::

<Lt.Secord> :: Secord begins scanning the ore sample using his tricorder, directing this team to process the sample for testing::

<CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok>	XO:  We are very limited, Sir.  Torpedo targeting would be strictly manual and ineffectual, and phasers are useless.  We could try to mine our path of retreat with torpedoes, but the currents would quickly move them out of position, and possibly back into our own path.

<SO_Ens_Hawk>	CO:  Affirmative.

<CO_Capt_TShara>	CMO: Aye, Doctor you may proceed.

<CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld>	::Deflates slightly, as she watches the vessel move away from them into the anomaly::

<ENG_Lt_Secord>   *Dr*:  This should be a sufficient amount to sample, even with the radiation, don't you agree Doctor?

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::turns back, hearing every word::  CTO: Looks like we may not need them right now, thankfully.

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::starts to move back down towards T'Shara, but stops for a moment::

<Dr_Ellean>	::Nods.::  *Secord*:  That more then enough to continue our research.

<CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok>	::Nods::  XO:  For now, Sir.  ::Looks back down to his console::

<CO_Capt_TShara>	FCO: Engage impulse engines 1/2 impulse

<Dr_Liy_Ellean>  COM:USS Claymore: Claym ::Static::  received a commun.  ::Static::  fro ::Static::  Space Thr  ::Static::  request immed   ::Static.::  proce ::Static.:: the Crontium Sys  ::Static.::
 
<CEO_LtCmdr_Hull>	XO:  Commander, the ore has been beamed aboard, testing in progress

<CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld>	::Pulls herself back up to nod:: CO: Aye, Captain.   ::Floats her fingers across the console, submitting her request:: SO: You think Class 3 for stealth, or Class 4 for durability?

<FCO_Uhlan_Talin>	:: engages impulse:: CO: Aye ma'am , taking us out 1/2 impulse

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::his moment of contemplation is broken by Hull, and he shakes his head slightly, looking towards Hull::  CEO: Understood, Commander.

<Dr_Ellean>	ACTION:  A rumble can be felt through out the Claymore.  Several large ionic tides begin to slam against the Claymore's hull.

<OPS_Lt_Fong>	::shuts down the transporter system and shifts its power to the structural integrity field then turns to the communications system:: XO/CO: Message coming in...it is badly distorted.

<SO_Ens_Hawk>	CMO:  I'd go class 4.

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::swivels back towards Damrok::  CTO: Do the currents work sort of like currents in water? If we left something "upstream" so to speak, it will eventually move "downstream" with some predictability?

<CO_Capt_TShara>	::Feels the ship move around a bit.::  SO: Status?

<CO_Capt_TShara>	OPS: Put it through Lieutenant.

<Dr_Ellean>	ACTION:  The Undine vessel disappears into the anomaly and off sensors.

<SO_Ens_Hawk>	CO:  Bumpy?  Some kind of ionic tides or currents according to sensors.

<CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok>	XO:  Theoretically.  The lack of sensor resolution hasn't allowed us to map out the currents as thoroughly as we'd like.  In addition, it's difficult to tell how anything we might leave behind might be able to last given the structural stresses.  Particularly, torpedo casings don't seem as though they would withstand the pressure very long.

<CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld>	::Draws a deep, quiet breath, then nods, releasing it, as her fingers work the controls:: SO: All right. Probe request sent. Ready to drop off just before we engage departure course.

<SO_Ens_Hawk>	CO:  The Undine vessel has dropped off sensors, Captain.

<TO_Ens_Kytides>	::Holds onto his console to steady himself, not sure if he should be glad or worried the ship disappeared::

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::nods, thinking there's something that might withstand that pressure, and pack just as much of a punch::  CTO: Noted, Commander. Thank you.

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::turns and heads towards T'Shara, listening to replays of the shredded message::

<CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok>	XO:  Of course, Commander.  ::Looks back to his console::

<CO_Capt_TShara>	SO: Acknowledged.  As well as the anomaly I'm sure.

<Dr_Ellean>	ACTION:  Another large tide slams into the Claymore.

<ENG_Lt_Secord>    ::Almost gets knocked off his feet with the tide hitting the ship::

<CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok>	::Grips his console and checks shield integrity::

<CO_Capt_TShara>	OPS: Can you clear up the message at all.  ::Listening to the badly distorted message::

<CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld>	SO: Probe ready to launch...Now--- ::Knocked somewhat by the latest rock of the ship::

<CO_Capt_TShara>	::holds onto her chair a little as another wave hits::

<FCO_Uhlan_Talin>	:: continues to adjust course, trying to adjust for tidal currents ::

<OPS_Lt_Fong>	::Runs the message through the noise scrubbers and while it is processing tries to reply, still calmly ignoring the rest of the bridge.:: COM: Dr_Liy_Ellean: Ellean Research, please repeat message.  We did not receive.  I say again, did not receive message.

<CO_Capt_TShara>	CMO: Radiation levels doctor?

<FCO_Uhlan_Talin>	CEO:  How are we doing? Can I edge her up a bit more?

<CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld>	::Her stint as assistant science officer complete, she turns around in her seat, legs locked around the base of her chair, tricorder magically back in her hands, running scans of the crew::

<Dr_Liy_Ellean>  COM:USS Claymore: Claym ::Static::

<SO_Ens_Hawk>	CO:  Ionic tides seem to be getting stronger.  On the plus side, hull pressure seems to be dropping as we get closer to the edge of the nebula.

<ENG_Lt_Secord>   ::The engineers continue running their sample testing of the ore::

<CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld>	CO: Nearing maximums, Captain, but not yet lethal given our preparatory treatments.

<SO_Ens_Hawk>	CO:  Probe ready to launch, Captain.

<CO_Capt_TShara>	::Nods::  CMO: Noted doctor hopefully we don’t reach that level.

<CO_Capt_TShara>	SO: At your discretion Ensign.

<CEO_LtCmdr_Hull>	FCO:  Aye, Mr. Talin

<FCO_Uhlan_Talin>	:: slowly edges the Claymore up to 2/3's impulse ::

<OPS_Lt_Fong>	::Turns back to the power display charts and shifts power away from impulse to the communications and Inertial dampeners:: FCO: Shifting power from drives to inertial dampeners.

<Dr_Ellean>	ACTION:  Tides begin to get rough.  The tiny ship was tossed.   Or so they say.  The Claymore receives a rather hard smack to her Aft section pitching the nose downward.

<SO_Ens_Hawk>	::Quickly launches a class 4 probe back toward the center of the nebula::

<SO_Ens_Hawk>	CO:  Probe launched.

<FCO_Uhlan_Talin>	OPS:  Thank you Mr. Fong

<CEO_LtCmdr_Hull>	FCO:  Easy, easy now

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::tries to sit in his seat, but is almost rolled forward by the shift in the vessel::

<CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld>	CO: However, all bridge crew and all other crew required to remain at the edges of the vessel the duration of our trip into the nebula will need extensive radiation treatment in sickbay once the crisis is pas--  ::Hands still full with her tricorder, she topples out of her chair toward the deck at the tumble::

<CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok>	TO:  Ensign, begin compiling a situation report.  Load all of the sensor sweeps, and as soon as we're out of the nebula -- ::Lurches forward, thrown into his console so that he buckles forward at the waist, but fortunately isn't tossed all the way over it::

<FCO_Uhlan_Talin>	CO:  Changing to manual control  and correcting

<CO_Capt_TShara>	::Her grip lets lose as she falls forward out of her chair and onto the deck::

<FENG_Capt_McDaniels>  ::still quietly observing, although there is a little panic present in his face with all the rumbling and such::

<CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok>	::Reasserts himself::  TO:  -- transmit to Starfleet Command on a secure channel.

<Dr_Ellean>	::Slips and falls to the floor in cargo bay one.::

<CO_Capt_TShara>	::From the deck::  FCO: Noted.

<CO_Capt_TShara>	CMO: Acknowledged doctor I will let you handle that once we are out of danger.

<Dr_Ellean>	ACTION:  Science probe begins to work for a few minutes then is crushed under the pressure.

<OPS_Lt_Fong>	::feels his stomach lurch and swallows his lunch then tries again:: COM: Ellean Research: Dr Liy Ellean: Message not received Ellean Research, Do you read?

<SO_Ens_Hawk>	::Barely hangs on to his chair, then looks down at the CMO::  CMO:  Comfortable?  ::holds out a hand to help her up::

<CEO_LtCmdr_Hull>	FCO:  Thrusters are on-line, will help with micro course control

<TO_Ens_Kytides>	::Continues hugging his station, glad he got an early start::  CTO:  Aye, Sir.  ::Compiles all the sensor readings into a message::

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	CEO/FCO: Micro course control?  How about macro shaking control?  ::holds his seat::

<CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld>	::Just raises an eyebrow mutely at the Captain's reply, then looks up, and accepts his hand up with a pursed expression. Her eyes catch the science station -- her probe is crushed::

<FCO_Uhlan_Talin>	XO:  Come on Commander, and little turbulence never hurt anyone

<Dr_Liy_Ellean>  COM:USS Claymore: USS Claymore we have received a communication from Deep Space 3.   You are to contact them immediately and depart to the Crontium System. ::Static::

<SO_Ens_Hawk>	::Notes the end of readings from the probe and swears under his breath::  CO:  Probe destroyed Captain.  We did get a few minutes of data.

<CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld>	::Sighs:: No one in particular: It was worth the try...  ::Settles back into her seat, with the sense that the worst of the turbulence is past::

<FENG_Capt_McDaniels>  ::patches into one of the Bridge consoles for a moment, watching the actions being processed there::

<CO_Capt_TShara>	::Gets up and sits back in her chair::

<CO_Capt_TShara>	SO: Better tan nothing at this point Ensign.  I can't say that I'm surprised given the ionic waves and the radiation.

<CO_Capt_TShara>	::Looks over at Davis as she hears the comm::

<OPS_Lt_Fong>	COM: Ellean Research: Dr_Liy_Ellean: Understood Doctor, message received.

<Dr_Ellean>	ACTION:  As Talin fights to keep the ship heading the Claymore breaks free from the nebula.  The red green nebula gas follow the warp nacelles out before dissipating into space.

<SO_Ens_Hawk>	::nods at the CO's statement.  It's still irritating::

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::returns the glance::  CO: Heaven forbid we finish one thing before moving to the next.

<FCO_Uhlan_Talin>	CO:  We have cleared the Nebula ma'am

<OPS_Lt_Fong>	CO/XO: Ellean Research has received a message from DS3 that we are to contact them immediately and depart for the Crontium System.

<CO_Capt_TShara>	FCO: Understood.

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	OPS: Understood, Lieutenant.

<CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok>	::Does some background work on the Crontium System::

<FCO_Uhlan_Talin>	:: plots a course to the Crontium system on waypoint  but continues on course to the station until ordered differently ::

<CO_Capt_TShara>	::nods::  XO: Aye, we wouldn't want to get to comfortable.

<CEO_LtCmdr_Hull>	FCO:  Thrusters off-line

<CO_Capt_TShara>	OPS: Contact DS3 to confirm.

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::stands up as the rumbling starts to die down a bit::  FCO: Uhlan, ready a course to the Crontium System. Stand by to engage.

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::waits for T'Shara and Fong to confirm these orders::

<Dr_Liy_Ellean>  COM:USS Claymore:  Welcome back Claymore.   I take it your mission was successful?

<CO_Capt_TShara>	CTO: I know I don't have to tell you this Commander.  But, when you have some information on that system please let myself or Davis know.

<Dr_Ellean>	::Stands slowly.::

<FCO_Uhlan_Talin>	XO: Great minds think a like Sir, already done 

<CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok>	::Looks up the general information on the system, the status of the star, the number of planets...mostly generalities, but looking for anything that stands out as a hazard::

<SO_Ens_Hawk>	CO:  Sensors back on line and fully operational

<TO_Ens_Kytides>	::Sends the message to Starfleet Command after hearing Talin, and cautiously letting go of his console::  CTO:  Message sent, Sir.

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::nods to Talin with a wry smile, but quickly refocuses on the confirmation of their orders::

<Dr_Ellean>	::Brushes off his lab coat and makes his way to the TL.::

<CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok>	TO:  Thank you, Ensign.  ::Stands a little straighter and tugs his uniform jacket back into place::

<CO_Capt_TShara>	SO: Noted Ensign.

<CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok>	CO:  Aye Captain, I'm preparing a system briefing as we speak.

<CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld>	::Sinks into her seat a moment, a little exhausted. For the first time in a while, turns her tricorder in her own direction::

<Dr_Ellean>	TL:  Bridge.

<ENG_Lt_Secord>   ::Watches as the good doctor leaves and heads to the TL::

<CO_Capt_TShara>	::Nods:: CTO: Very good Commander.  ::Waits on Fong::

<OPS_Lt_Fong>	::sends a subspace hail to Deep Space Three and responds to Dr Ellean:: COM: Ellean Research: Dr Liy Ellean: Please stand by.

<Dr_Liy_Ellean>  COM:USS Claymore: Understood Claymore.

<CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld>	::Eyes harden slightly, but her expression remains otherwise impassive and professional as she sets the tricorder aside on the Science II station and reaches into her kit for a hypospray::

<CO_Capt_TShara>	CEO: Status report Commander.  Have your team start going through the ships systems and see if there is any damage we need to know about.

<OPS_Lt_Fong>	CO/XO: I have Doctor Liy Ellean asking about the condition of our mission, I am still waiting on a reply from Deep Space Three.

<TO_Ens_Kytides>	::Nods to Damrok, and goes back to watching sensors::

<CO_Capt_TShara>	OPS: Put her through on main viewer.

<Testing Party>  *Lt. Secord*:  This sample is too high for further testing onboard, we recommend it be contained and transferred to a proper testing facility

<Dr_Ellean>	::Exits the turbo lift onto the bridge.::

<CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld>	::Taps her comm. badge while dialing out a dosage:: *Sickbay*: Raeyld to Sickbay. Coordinate treatment of all Claymore crew beginning now. Detailed records in my office in 50 minutes.  Raeyld out.

<OPS_Lt_Fong>	::Routs Dr Liy Ellan's line to the main viewer and turns his attention to contacting Deep Space Three.::

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::moves back towards Raeyld::

<CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld>	::Glances up as she sees the Doctor enter back onto the bridge, but she simply applies the hypospray to her own neck, then lowers it once more to calculate another treatment::

<ENG_Lt_Secord>    :: Secord agrees and instructs the team of engineers to isolate the ore in a containment field and decontaminate the cargo bay::

<Dr_Ellean>	::Grinning.::  CO/XO:  My congratulations Commander Captain.  What a successful mission.  I knew a war ship would make it!!

<CO_Capt_TShara>	::Stands and walks ahead a bit::  COM: ERL: Dr_Liy_Ellean: Our mission was successful Doctor.  We had a few bumps but overall we achieved our goal.

<CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld>	::Glances up as she sees Davis approach...She quickly takes up the tricorder, a single tap of her finger resetting its scanning parameters for human physiology, clearing its previous data::

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	CMO: Commander, did you have any staff accompany the engineers in their testing of the sample?

<CO_Capt_TShara>	::Glances over her shoulder at Ellean as he speaks and nods::

<ENG_Lt_Secord>   *CEO*:  Commander, this ore sample is too radioactive for further testing manually, the ore needs to be in a proper facility, not onboard the Claymore, we are in the process of containing the ore, and decontaminating the bay

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::pauses, then restates::  CMO: Or, maybe I should ask what you want us to do with them once they finish...protocol and all.

<Dr_Liy_Ellean>  COM:USS Claymore: Great to hear Captain.  I will have our transporters ready to beam Dr Ellean back to the station.  Please forward all sensor logs to the facilities computers.

<CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld>	XO: We had a team in engineering since before we entered the nebula, to inoculate and monitor and provide treatments as necessary, should we be in the nebula longer than expected. All teams are initializing treatment protocol now.

<CEO_LtCmdr_Hull>	*Lt. Secord*:  Understood, once you're secure, report to Sickbay for exam for radiation

<Dr_Ellean>	::Looks up at the screen.::  COM: ERF:  Liy we have a sample of Duranium as well.  Its very radioactive so please have our radiation containers on hand.

<Dr_Liy_Ellean>  COM:USS Claymore: Wonderful news Dr. Ellean.  I will notify the crew.

<CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld>	XO: Given the nature of our latest...communiqué... I'll have initial treatments to essential personnel conducted while on location. Then we'll rotate out officers as needed for more thorough treatment and follow-up. Engineering and Bridge personnel especially.

<CO_Capt_TShara>	::Refocuses on the viewer::  COM: ERL: Dr_Liy_Ellean: Will do Doctor.  We also received your message from DS3 and are waiting confirmation.

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::nods, and holds up his hand::  CMO: Well then! I should have known you had it covered, and then some...::smiles and turns back towards T'Shara and Dr. Old::

<CEO_LtCmdr_Hull>	XO:  Commander, Lt. Secord is securing the sample ore in a containment field, radiation is too high for manual testing.  The Engineering team is decontaminating the bay, they will be reporting to Sickbay once they secure for radiation exam and inoculation

<CO_Capt_TShara>	::Turns to Hawk:: SO: Ensign send all sensor data to the Ellean Research Facility for Doctor Ellean to look over.

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::walks behind Gulash and down towards T'Shara, but watches Hull as he does so::  CEO: Very good, Commander. Make sure their records are forwarded to the station.

<SO_Ens_Hawk>	CO:  Roger that, ma'am.   ::quickly pushes a series of buttons to collate the data and link to the ERL computer::  Data transfer underway.

<CEO_LtCmdr_Hull>	XO:  Yes Sir!

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	CEO: Also, Commander. run a level 4 diagnostic on the Warp Core and other essential systems. Let's be sure the high dose of radiation has not had any adverse affects we did not anticipate.

<CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld>	::Smiles faintly, briefly, quickly washed away as she turns the tricorder toward Hawk, as he's the closest, running a scan::

<CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok>	CO:  Captain, I've gathered some information on the Crontium system...but there isn't much.

<CO_Capt_TShara>	::nods::  OPS: Close channel,  :: turns to Doctor Ellean::

<SO_Ens_Hawk>	::sorta kinda glares at the CMO and whispers::  CMO:  Go away Serena.

<Dr_Ellean>	::Continues to grin.::

<OPS_Lt_Fong>	::cuts the comm channel to the station:: XO: Stand down from yellow alert sir? resume standard power distribution?

<CEO_LtCmdr_Hull>	XO:  Aye Sir

<Dr_Ellean>	CO:  Captain thank you and your crew for a wonderful job.  I will relay my thanks to Admiral Cosgrave and notify him of my findings.  ::Bows.::  Again thank you Captain.

<OPS_Lt_Fong>	::checks the subspace hail to Deep Space Three::

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::nods::  OPS: Stand down from yellow alert.

<CEO_LtCmdr_Hull>	::Begins running a baseline comparison sensor sweep of the ship and m/ARC from the deuterium tanks to the nacelles::

<OPS_Lt_Fong>	::sets the ship's condition to Green and resets the power levels to 'standard flight' configurations::

<CO_Capt_TShara>	Dr_Ellean: You are most welcome Doctor.   It was nice meeting you and I hope you are able to continue your research and get what you need from the sample.

<FCO_Uhlan_Talin>	Dr. Ellean:  You didn't break a hip. I guess I'll have to have some friends send a package to you from home :: smile::  

<Dr_Liy_Ellean>  COM:USS Claymore:  All data received Claymore.  We are ready to beam Dr. Ellean and the sample to the facility.

<CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld>	::Shakes her head silently, holstering the tricorder to dial the hypospray dosage, and reaches out to apply it to his neck::

<Dr_Ellean>	FCO: It was a pleasure Romulan.

<CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok>	::Bides his time by rescheduling the tactical briefing for 1300 hours, assuming there will be time to fit it in at 1300 hours::

<SO_Ens_Hawk>	::sighs and holds still before the CMO ninja smacks him::

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::folds his hands behind his back, waiting for the doctor to bid them farewell so they can move on::

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	OPS: Anything from Deep Space 3 yet? Or did I miss that...?

<Dr_Ellean>	ACTION:  Dr Ellean and his sample beam off the Claymore and back to the Facility.

<CO_Capt_TShara>	FCO: Uhlan engage at warp 7 as long as Commander Hull has confirmed the warp core is able to handle it.

<CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld>	::Presses the hypo to his neck:: SO: Good.  ::Kind of vaguely::  ::Stands from the Science stations and makes her way to the command center, approaching Commander Davis::

<Dr_Liy_Ellean>  COM:USS Claymore: Dr. Ellean is back on the station and the sample is in quarantine.  Thank you again Claymore.

<FCO_Uhlan_Talin>	CO:  Aye ma'am, Warp 7 on SO go.

<CEO_LtCmdr_Hull>	CO/FCO:  A few minutes more, sensor sweep is almost complete

<CO_Capt_TShara>	CEO: Understood.

<OPS_Lt_Fong>	XO: Nothing yet sir.

<DS3_OPS>	COM: USS Claymore:  This is DS3 Operations.

<CO_Capt_TShara>	::Gets up from her chair and begins to walk towards tactical::

<FCO_Uhlan_Talin>	CEO: Acknowledged 

<CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok>	CO/XO:  The Crontium system is a planetary system approximately four light years away, comprised of eighteen planets, one known M-class.  The Federation has not officially surveyed the system;  however, they are aware of a collection of private citizens who may have set up a colony on the M-class world.  That is all I've found, so far.

<OPS_Lt_Fong>	::holds his earpiece in:: XO: They are on the line now.  COM: Deep Space Three: This is USS Claymore, We received orders to contact deep space three immediately and head to the Crontium system, Request verification of orders.

<CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld>	::A quick scan with her tricorder, a tweak of the hypospray, then she reaches up and tags Davis on his neck with the hypospray::

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::nods to Damrok, wondering why this system is worth their time; he turns towards Operations to first confirm their orders::

<CO_Capt_TShara>	::stands near Damrok as he debriefs them::

<CEO_LtCmdr_Hull>	CO/FCO:  Sensor sweep is complete, apart from some residual radiation, baseline study shows all indicators are in the green

<FCO_Uhlan_Talin>	:: wonders how he holds the earpiece in those two big holes in the side of his head and chuckles ::

<CO_Capt_TShara>	CEO: Very good Commander.

<FCO_Uhlan_Talin>	CO:  Ma'am we are ready to depart on your orders.

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::moves right next to Fong::

<DS3_OPS>	COM: USS Claymore:  Claymore you are to head to the Crontium System on request from the Caldonian Government.  They have a missing cargo vessel within the system that was due back a week ago.  All attempts to contact the vessel has gone unanswered.

<CO_Capt_TShara>	CTO: Understood Commander.  Hopefully we can get some more information from DS3.  ::Pauses as she finishes that statement and realizes that is illogical considering the source::

<CEO_LtCmdr_Hull>	Himself:  Next we'll be sent to look for the Flying Dutchman!

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	COM: DS3 OPS: Do we have any information available on the cargo ship?

<DS3_OPS>	COM: USS Claymore:  DS3 Long rang sensors can not scan within the Crontium System.  The Caldonian Vessel was taking colonists and supplies to Crontium 4.   They are the only vessels allowed to do so.  Please do not interfere with the Crontium 4 colony.

<CO_Capt_TShara>	FCO: Engage

<CO_Capt_TShara>	::Walks back down toward the center of the bridge::

<FCO_Uhlan_Talin>	:: engages the warp drive::

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::frowns, even though frowning is not worth his time::  COM: DS3 OPS: Just to confirm, DS3, we are not to contact the colony in any way?

<DS3_OPS>	COM: USS Claymore:  The Cargo ship is owned and operated by the Caldonian's.  The colonists negotiated with them since the Caldonians have little interest in disturbing the colony.

<CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld>	::Makes her way about the bridge, from CO, to CTO, to TO, amongst others::

<DS3_OPS>	COM: USS Claymore:  Claymore you are free to contact the colony, but they do not look favorably to outsiders or the Federation.  I would not expect a reply.

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	COM: DS3 OPS: Understood. We are presently en route.

<SO_Ens_Hawk>	::mutters::  That's gonna seriously limit the shoreleave chances

<CO_Capt_TShara>	::Looks over at Davis with a raised eyebrow::

<DS3_OPS>	COM: USS Claymore:  Noted Claymore. Report back once you are in the system.  DS3 out.

<OPS_Lt_Fong>	::shuts down the subspace communications system::

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	::turns back towards T'Shara, having missed the stereotypical Vulcan raised eyebrow, which he also wouldn't have regarded as worth his time even if he had seen it::

<CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld>	::Pauses beside Fong, hypospray in hand::

<XO_Cmdr_Davis>	CO: Sounds like fun.  ::walks towards his station, shaking his head slightly::

<DS3_OPS>	ACTION:  The Claymore jumps to warp and heads to the Crontium System.
