CMO_Ens_Jorae says:
::Exits on the bridge and takes up a place at a vacant console::

Amb_John_Sea says:
XO: Flight plan filed with Starfleet Operations

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Amb:  Good.  Lay in a course and engage.

CEO_LT_Dave says:
XO: I would like to run a drill on locking down eng to test a new system interface that I put in while in space dock

EO_Hart says:
*CEO*: Sir, I think it's fixed. See if the panel on the bridge console shows the relay green.

CMO_Ens_Jorae says:
::Configures the console to her likings and sets it to her specifications::

CEO_LT_Dave says:
*EO*: we have a green board.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CEO:  What will this test require?

CTO_Chalen says:
CMO:  Good morning sunshine.

EO_Hart says:
::sighs and smiles to herself::

CEO_LT_Dave says:
XO: complete lock down of  MENG should only take  5 to 20 mins sir

Amb_John_Sea says:
Aloud: Clearing all moorings, umbilical attachments retracted...igniting maneuvering thrusters, ahead

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Amb:  What is our ETA?

CMO_Ens_Jorae says:
::Looks around behind her:: CTO: You been drinking too much moonshine again.

SO_Webster says:

Amb_John_Sea says:
All: We are clear and free to navigate, engaging warp drives at warp six, prepare to enter warp space

CTO_Chalen says:
CMO:  You're so cute when you accuse me of insanity.  ::grins::  Did things get too dull down in Sick Bay?

EO_Hart says:
::thinks it might be a good idea to check on other engine systems::

Amb_John_Sea says:
XO: 10 minutes at warp six

CMO_Ens_Jorae says:
CTO: Well I was asked to do some scanning of radiation particles when we get into the area.  That’s easier done from here.

CEO_LT_Dave says:
XO: do I have permission to run the test sir?

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CEO:  Our ETA is 10 minutes.  Please hold off on your test for a while.

CEO_LT_Dave says:
XO:  aye sir

CMO_Ens_Jorae says:
CTO: And I wasn't accusing.   I don't have to I know you are insane.

CTO_Chalen says:

EO_Hart says:
*CEO*: Aye sir, right away.

Amb_John_Sea says:
XO: Nosing the bow over, warp drive engaged, steering into the solar wind, navigational defectors on

CMO_Ens_Jorae says:
CTO: You haven't seen me in several days but on duty......that's crazy in itself.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Amb:  Steady as she goes. ::grins::  Always wanted to say that.

EO_Hart says:
::moves to the console and begins the level four diagnostic::

Host Captain_Grift says:
XO: Do we have any more info on the "strange happenings"?

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CO:  Nothing yet, sir.

Amb_John_Sea says:
XO: ::Big grin:: Starboard to helm, letting the wind take her

EO_Hart says:
::mumbles to herself:: Self: Why do I get stuck down here while he gets to play with the big boys on the bridge::

CTO_Chalen says:
CMO:  Yeah, I've just been running around like crazy lately.  So many new kids transferred in for the Security detail while we were in port.  Someone's gotta put the fear of Riggs into them!

Host Captain_Grift says:
:: Stands :: XO: Can I see you for a minute in my ready room?

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CO:  Yes, sir.

Amb_John_Sea says:

CMO_Ens_Jorae says:
CTO: Big Bad Chalen blew their house down, huh? ::Smirk smirk::

Host Captain_Grift says:
XO: These classified documents came encoded and for some reason I can't read the code

EO_Hart says:

Amb_John_Sea says:
::updating weather from Starfleet weather buoys::

Host Captain_Grift says:
XO: SFHQ assured me this was the information I was supposed to receive

CMO_Ens_Jorae says:
CTO: Oh....you want me to give you a kick after we get off duty?  I mean if you get a Kick outta it and all.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CO:  What do you think it means?  Why would Starfleet send orders that we can't see part of?

Amb_John_Sea says:
::vectors around gravity well::

SO_Webster says:
::puts sensors on maximum, ready to read::

EO_Hart says:
*CEO*: Sir, I'm showing a decrease in the aft shield power. Can you confirm?

CTO_Chalen says:
CMO:  Ooooooooh, you can't hurt me!  Bajorans like it rough!    ::evil grin::

EO_Hart says:
::taps the console trying to find that lost 7 percent::

CEO_LT_Dave says:
*EO*: it   just showed on my board send team a to repair and report to the bridge when you can.

Host Captain_Grift says:
XO: I'm not sure. I want you to run this through the computer and see if you can pick any information out of it. Just remember this is classified information

Amb_John_Sea says:
::stays clear of commercial shipping lanes, sticking to pre-filed flight plan::

CMO_Ens_Jorae says:
CTO: I wouldn't know, Ridges.....I've never had the chance to take you on the holodeck since that one time.

CEO_LT_Dave says:
CTO: we have a decreased power in the aft shields

EO_Hart says:
*CEO*: On it lieutenant.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CO:  You got it, Captain.  Shall I work in here?

CTO_Chalen says:
CMO:  If that's a challenge, then I accept.

Amb_John_Sea says:
::bow up angle 15 degrees, roll right 3 degrees::

CTO_Chalen says:
::snaps into business mode::  CEO:  Let me know when you and your oh so capable staff have it back up to %100.

CEO_LT_Dave says:
CTO: team a on it sir

CMO_Ens_Jorae says:
::Sees the change in the CTO and lets him alone::

EO_Hart says:
::sends a repair team to the aft shield array to look for the problem and make repairs::

SO_Webster says:
::gets more comfortable in seat, as ship seems to be more bumpy than usual::

CEO_LT_Dave says:
SO: is there anything in the system we are going to that will interfere in ship systems?

CTO_Chalen says:
CMO:  Julia, keep an eye on external radiation levels.  I want to know if they might be affecting the shields.

CMO_Ens_Jorae says:
CTO: Aye, Sir....::Initiates scans for radiation levels::

EO_Hart says:
Ens. Jones: Get your team on that aft shield repair immediately.

Amb_John_Sea says:
::angles the navigational deflectors to reflect some space debris::

CEO_LT_Dave says:
SO: is there anything in the system we are going to that will interfere in ship systems?

CTO_Chalen says:
::leans on one elbow in the big chair and watches the course on screen::

EO_Hart says:
<EnsJones>: Yes ma'am. The team is on its way.

Host Captain_Doug_Grift says:
XO: See what you can come up with

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Yes, sir.  ::sits behind the desk and starts working::

Amb_John_Sea says:
::bow nose up 2 degrees roll right 4 degrees::

CMO_Ens_Jorae says:
CTO: For now everything is in the green.

SO_Webster says:
CEO: That, that I can tell...we don't know much about the system.

CTO_Chalen says:
::watches the Ambassador navigate with deft skill::

Host Captain_Grift says:
XO: I'll be on the bridge if you come up with anything

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CO:  Okay, sir.

CTO_Chalen says:
CMO:  That's what I like to hear.  Let me know if your needles twitch in the least.

CEO_LT_Dave says:
SO: keep me inform if you get anything.

Host Captain_Grift says:
::exits his ready room and returns to the bridge::

Amb_John_Sea says:
::charging the main impulse batteries while the warp engines are engaged::

CTO_Chalen says:
::gets up from the big chair::

SO_Webster says:
CEO: Will do

CMO_Ens_Jorae says:
CTO: Understood, Sir.

Host Captain_Grift says:
CTO: Report

CTO_Chalen says:
CO:  Systems are all in the green sir.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Computer:  Analyze the encrypted code of this message.

EO_Hart says:
::heads for the bridge to report in::

CTO_Chalen says:
::takes his place back at TAC1::

Amb_John_Sea says:
Captain: Now approaching system, suggest secure from warp

CEO_LT_Dave says:
CO: sir minor trouble with aft shields team A has been sent to repair sir.

SO_Webster says:
::begins scanning of system::

Host Captain_Grift says:
::moves across the bridge and stands behind the FCOs chair::

CMO_Ens_Jorae says:
::Able to send a jolt through the TAC console does::

Amb_John_Sea says:
::gestures to the course on screen::

Host Captain_Grift says:
Amb: Agreed. And lets see this system on the big screen.

EO_Hart says:
::enters the TL:: Bridge.

CTO_Chalen says:
CO:  Sir, I've got a blip on LRS.  Maybe a planet.  Can't tell at this range.

Amb_John_Sea says:
All: All departments prepare for secure from warp

Amb_John_Sea says:
::disengages main warp engines::

SO_Webster says:
CO: Sir, I'm getting the same.  Too far for a visual.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::tries to crack the code on his own::

Amb_John_Sea says:
Captain: Main Impulse engines ignited, we are on the boundary of the system

CMO_Ens_Jorae says:
::Continues monitoring radiation levels::

Host Captain_Grift says:
::nods:: Amb: Go ahead and set a course for that planet

EO_Hart says:
*ENS Jones*: Ma'am, we’ve found the reason for the power drop. One of the iso-linear chips had been pulled partway out. Repairs have been made and you should have power back to nominal levels now.

SO_Webster says:
::tries to fine-tune the LRS, to get a better idea of what's there::

Amb_John_Sea says:
Captain: Aye, adjusting glide path to synchronize with orbital path

Amb_John_Sea says:
::synchronizes speed to intercept with planet::

Host Captain_Grift says:
::returns to the  big chair and stares at the viewer, looking for any clues or signs of life::

CTO_Chalen says:
CO:  Still can't get a clear readings on that blip sir.

Amb_John_Sea says:
Captain: Course plotted on main viewer and progress

Host Captain_Grift says:
SO: Any strange readings from subspace?

EO_Hart says:
*Ens_Jones*: Good work. Now get back to main engineering and finish checking on that level four diagnostic. Hart out.

Amb_John_Sea says:
Captain: No visual contact yet ::increases magnification::

EO_Hart says:
::waits as the TL doors swish open::

CEO_LT_Dave says:
*EO*: do we have a reason on the power drain yet?

SO_Webster says:
CO: Checking, sir.  ::looks at subspace::

Host Captain_Grift says:
CTO: Do we have any tactical data on this system?

CTO_Chalen says:
SO:  I've get NOTHIGN on visual scanners.  It’s only showing up on the sensor array.  Can you confirm?

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::looks for some sort of pattern in the encryption codes::

SO_Webster says:
::nods:: CTO: I'm getting the same...it's there...we just can't See it.

CTO_Chalen says:
CO:  Afraid not sir.  Starfleet has two kinds of data on this system:   Slim and none.

Amb_John_Sea says:
Captain: We should be able to see the planet, however, no visual contact, I suggest we stop here or risk collision

EO_Hart says:
::walks up behind the CEO:: CEO: Sir, we found the problem. Somehow one of the isolinear chips came lose. Power should be back to normal now.

Host Captain_Grift says:
Amb: Signal all stop

CEO_LT_Dave says:
EO: was it pull out?

Amb_John_Sea says:
All: All stop, all engines answering all stop

Host Captain_Grift says:
*XO*: Cmdr, report to the bridge

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CO*:  On my way, sir.

Amb_John_Sea says:
::plots reverse course just in case::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::exits the RR and takes his seat on the bridge::

Host Captain_Grift says:
CTO: Go to Yellow alert

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CO:  What's happening, Captain?

Host Captain_Grift says:
XO: We have a planet on sensors, but no visual contact.

EO_Hart says:
CEO: Not sure on that sir. It may have come lose with all these fancy maneuvers that the pilot is doing. ::looks over at the Ambassador::

CEO_LT_Dave says:
EO: what sec was that chip in??

CTO_Chalen says:
CO:  Aye sir, Yellow Alert.   Energizing defense fields, weapons on warm-up.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CO:  Interesting...

Amb_John_Sea says:
::holding all stop::

CTO_Chalen says:
CO:  Sir, we're right on top of it!

SO_Webster says:
CO: Sir, the planet, or whatever it is, is dead ahead.

Host Captain_Grift says:
Amb: Back us off a bit

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CEO:  When was the last time you ran a diagnostic of the sensors?

Amb_John_Sea says:
Captain: Aye, astern 1/3 impulse right standard rudder

CEO_LT_Dave says:
XO: level 4 diag   was just ran sir

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CEO: I take it that they're functioning within normal parameters?

Amb_John_Sea says:
Captain: Suggest informing SFC we have arrived

CEO_LT_Dave says:
XO: yes sir

SO_Webster says:
::continues to fiddle with sensors...trying to get more information::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CEO:  Thank you.

CEO_LT_Dave says:
XO: yes sir

EO_Hart says:
CEO: The aft shield sensor array. Section 24, deck 16.

CEO_LT_Dave says:
CTO: can you run a sec scan of Section 24, deck 16. I have possible report of I pull isolinear chip.

Host Captain_Grift says:
XO: Any luck on your project?

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CO:  Unfortunately not.

CTO_Chalen says:
CEO:  I'm sending a team there now.  ::signals the team from his panel::

EO_Hart says:
::walks to the secondary engineering console to check on the diagnostic::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CO:  The computer was no help at all.

CEO_LT_Dave says:
EO: let keep an eye on all system.

EO_Hart says:
CEO: Aye sir,

EO_Hart says:
::rubs a bead of perspiration from her brow::

Amb_John_Sea says:
Captain: Suggest informing SFC of our position

Host Captain_Grift says:
SO: Might the planet be out of phase with us?

Host Captain_Grift says:
Amb: Make it so

Amb_John_Sea says:
::transmits message to Starfleet Command of current position::

EO_Hart says:
::notes the diagnostic is complete ::CEO: Sir the diagnostic is complete. All systems show nominal.

CEO_LT_Dave says:
:: look over board at the reading and  rout more power to the  sensors:::

CEO_LT_Dave says:
EO: good job

CEO_LT_Dave says:
XO: The Diag on all systems again came back green

EO_Hart says:
::smiles at the CEO:: CEO: Thank you sir.

Amb_John_Sea says:
::monitors impulse power curve::

SO_Webster says:
::thinks a bit:: CO: Could be, sir.  We could recalibrate our sensors and check for an out-of-phase planet.

CEO_LT_Dave says:
CTO:  do we have a report on the section of the ship yet?

Host Captain_Doug_Grift says:
SO: Give that a try... there has to be something out there

Amb_John_Sea says:
Captain: I suggest deploying a ring of tachyon buoys, which should map any hidden planet

CTO_Chalen says:
SO:  Not a bad ideal.  Surprising how many of those are wondering around the galaxy.

SO_Webster says:
CO: Aye, sir...I'll get right on it.

CTO_Chalen says:
CEO:  I show nothing out of the ordinary so far.......

EO_Hart says:
::leans against the console and watches the bridge crew work::

CEO_LT_Dave says:
:: look to see when that panel  been  worked :::

Host Captain_Grift says:
Amb: Good thinking. Prepare the buoys.

SO_Webster says:
::begins making adjustments to the sensors::

Amb_John_Sea says:
::outfits buoys:: Captain: buoys outfitted for orbital alignment based on the gravity well

Host Captain_Grift says:
CTO: What if we fired a polarized burst from the deflector... if we could ionize the atmosphere, it might show up visually.

CTO_Chalen says:
CO: Or at least part of it.  It's worth a shot...... so to speak.

Amb_John_Sea says:
Captain: since we don’t know the contents of the atmosphere, we could also ignite the atmosphere, I strenuously object

Host Captain_Grift says:
CTO: Make the preparations

CTO_Chalen says:
CO:  Aye sir.    ::starts tapping away at the console::

EO_Hart says:
::checks to make sure that the launch mechanism for the buoys is working properly::

SO_Webster says:
::finishes up her adjustments and runs sensors for out-of-phased matter::

CEO_LT_Dave says:
EO:  anything so far on the systems?

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::sits back and watches the crew work diligently::

Amb_John_Sea says:
Captain: Since we do not know the contents of the atmosphere, we could ignite it by ionizing it, I must strenuously object

EO_Hart says:
CEO: All systems show ready sir.

CTO_Chalen says:
::finishes the alterations to the deflector::  CO:  Deflector ready.
