<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CTO_Webster says:
::at Tactical, gathering information about the Kevspire System::

EO_Fix-It says:
::Waltzes around Main Engineering, pretending he's doing his work.  Then gets handed a report to fill out and grumbles as he starts to.::

AOPS_Hacker says:
::leaning on the ops console watching the bridge crew::

FCO_Grayson says:
::at the helm, calculating the shortest course possible to Kevspire::

AOPS_Hacker says:
::tries to pick up any comm signals in the area::

EO_Fix-It says:
::Looks around and starts playing games on the PADD he was given.  Then walks around, still playing it, pretending his doing the report.::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::sits in the captain's chair, looking important::  FCO:  What is our ETA?

CTO_Webster says:
::taps console, wondering why the information is scrolling so slowly::

CTO_Webster says:
*EO*: Mr. Fix-It?

FCO_Grayson says:
::finishes plotting the course:: XO: As soon as we go into warp, it shouldn't take us long to get there, sir.  Course plotted, ready to engage warp at your command.

EO_Fix-It says:
::Gets caught by the Duty Engineer and is warned of an impending reprimand and possible demotion.  Then sticks his tongue out at the back of the Duty Engineer as he walks back to his station.:: *CTO*: Yes? ::Smiles.::

CTO_Webster says:
*EO*: I'm having a problem with my console. It seems to be lagging a bit.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
OPS:  Any luck reaching the Dragonfly?

CTO_Webster says:
::looks strangely at the XO:: XO: Sir?

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
FCO:  Thank you.  Engage at Warp 5.

EO_Fix-It says:
::Sticks his tongue out at the Duty Engineer again as he has his back turned to him.  Then heads over to the Master Situation Monitor and runs a remote diagnostic on the CTO's console.  Waits a moment for the read out and looks it over.:: *CTO*: Aye, I see it.  There's a problem with ODN junction Beta 03 A 1.  I'll head over and fix it immediately.

CTO_Webster says:
*EO*: Thank you, Mr. Fix-It.

FCO_Grayson says:
XO: Aye sir, engaging warp.  ::engages warp 5::

AOPS_Hacker says:
XO: No answers to our hails sir.

EO_Fix-It says:
::Starts to head out of ME and grabs a toolkit, then stops by the MSD and flicks the PADD onto the table.  Then heads out to OND Junction Beta 03 A 1.:: *CTO*: No thanks necessary.  Just doing my job. ::Snickers at the Duty Engineer and quickly exits ME.::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::looks over the reports on the electrical activity of the ships with the malfunctions::

AOPS_Hacker says:
XO: I'm continuing to hail them sir, I have it on automatic now.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CTO: What have you got on the Kevspire system?

CTO_Webster says:
::turns back to her console, seeing OPS has everything under control::

AOPS_Hacker says:
:;taps the console and waits for a response::

EO_Fix-It says:
::Arrives at ODN Junction Beta 03 A 1 and quickly fixes the CTO's console.:: *CTO*: Can you check it now? ::Pulls another PADD from his toolkit and starts playing games again.::  I'm pretty sure I got it fixed.

CTO_Webster says:
::turns back to the XO:: XO: Sir, it's a class 2 star system, with 7 planets.  Only the second is inhabited.  ::pauses as she hears Fix-It::

CTO_Webster says:
*EO*: I will check in a moment.  Stand by.

EO_Fix-It says:
::Cuts the Comm so he can cuss at the game as he's lost yet again.:: Self: Stupid game! ::Flings the PADD into the toolkit.::  I never liked you anyway. ::Pulls out some tools and pretends he's working as he sees a Senior Officer walk towards him.::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CTO:  What are their technical capabilities?

EO_Fix-It says:
::Nods to himself as he hears the CTO.::

CTO_Webster says:
XO: According to the database, Kevspire II has just reached warp capability.  They have nothing that should worry us, tactically speaking, Sir.

AOPS_Hacker says:
::plays with the settings on the communications panel trying to broaden the scanning area for the beacons::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CTO:  Thank you.  CSO:  Have you started your analysis of the electrical activity in this system?

EO_Fix-It says:
::Gets bored and then grabs a lazer cutter and flips it from hand to hand, trying to be like a cowboy from the ancient wild wild west.:: Self: Where's that vermin?!?

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
XO:  I have.  I'll have a report in a moment.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CSO:  Thank you. ::smiles at his wife::

CTO_Webster says:
::turns back to her console and sees that it is operating normally:: *EO*: Mr. Fix-It, everything seems fine now.  Thank you.

FCO_Grayson says:
XO: Commander, we will reach the Kevspire system in less than 30 minutes.

EO_Fix-It says:
::Drops the laser cutter into the ODN junction and it burns out the waste disposal systems.:: Self: Oh no! ::Curses.  Quickly pulls the laser cutter out and the burnt out components.  Then notifies the Duty Engineer that he's found a slight problem with the waste disposal system.:: *CTO*: That's good. ::Starts sweating.::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
FCO:  Thank you.  When we get within sensor range of the system, go to half impulse.

FCO_Grayson says:
XO: Aye, sir.

EO_Fix-It says:
::Thinks he's just gotten himself into more trouble than he's bargained for.  Wipes off his brow and continues to fix the problem he's caused.  Reminds himself not to indicate how the problem arose.:: Self: I didn't do it!  Honest!

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CTO/OPS/CSO:  You will all begin extensive sensor sweeps when we drop out of warp.

CTO_Webster says:
XO: Aye, sir.

EO_Fix-It says:
::Orders a Junior Officer to bring him some parts he needs to fix the waste disposal ODN link.::

AOPS_Hacker says:
XO: Commander, still nothing on the comm channels. ::turns and looks at the first officer as if waiting for orders::

EO_Fix-It says:
::Smiles and wipes off his brow as he's starting the initialization diagnostics.:: Self: Please work!

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
XO:  The electrical impulses seem to be intermittent with no real evidence of where it's coming from.  Malfunctions include power outages, Holodeck mis-images, replicators messing up orders and other little stuff like that, slowly getting worse to warp drive mess-ups.  And aye-aye sir.

CTO_Webster says:
::looks over at the CSO as she gives her report::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
OPS:  Just keep your scanners peeled.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CSO: Maybe we'll find out more when we get closer.

EO_Fix-It says:
::Smiles with relief as the initialization diagnostics run without indicating any problems.  He leans over and kisses the ODN Junction and gets shocked.:: Self: OUCH!  You didn't have to do that... ::Rubs his lips, then starts repeatedly licking them to try to keep them from throbbing.::

AOPS_Hacker says:
::smiles:: XO: Aye sir, scanners peeled.

Host Chris says:
ACTION: From out of nowhere a beam falls and conks the XO on the head.

CTO_Webster says:
::out of the corner of her eye, sees a beam fall on the XO's head:: *CMO*: Doctor, medical emergency, now!

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Self: Ouch.

CTO_Webster says:
::rushes over to the XO::  XO: Sir, are you OK?

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CTO:  What was that all about?  Why is the ship falling apart on me?

CMO_Fielding says:
*CTO*: Acknowledged.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::eeps and goes to her husbands side::  XO:  Torgh???  Are you all right????

EO_Fix-It says:
::Notifies the Duty Engineer that he's heading to sickbay for an injury sustained when he found the problem.  Then closes up his work and quickly heads to SB.:: Self: This is truly embarrassing! ::Looks down with his hand covering his lips.::

Host Chris says:
ACTION: The XO passes out and falls to the floor.

AOPS_Hacker says:
::hears a commotion behind her and turns around:: Self: Oh my!

CTO_Webster says:
::shakes head, while looking closely at the XO:: XO: I'm not sure, Sir, but I'll get an engineer up here on the double.

CTO_Webster says:
*EO*: Mr. Fix-It, you are needed on the bridge.

FCO_Grayson says:
::turns around and sees the XO passed out::  CTO: What happened???

EO_Fix-It says:
*CMO*: I need some assistance... ::He exits the TL and starts towards Sickbay.::

CMO_Fielding says:
Computer: Emergency transport for Commander Sanders to Sickbay trauma unit.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::grrrrs and stands up to glare at the place the rod came from and figure out what happened::

CTO_Webster says:
FCO: I'm not sure, Mr. Grayson, except a beam fell on his head.

AOPS_Hacker says:
::looks over at the FCO:: FCO: Derek, what happened?

FCO_Grayson says:
AOPS: Apparently a beam fell on the commander's head and knocked him out.

AOPS_Hacker says:
::smirks:: Self: Maybe it'll knock some sense into that stubborn Klingon.

CTO_Webster says:
::watches the XO get transported out::

AOPS_Hacker says:
::looks up to see where the beam came from::

FCO_Grayson says:
::frowns at Hacker::

CTO_Webster says:
*EO*: Mr. Fix-It?

CMO_Fielding says:
::runs a scan, diagnoses a serious case of Beamfallingoncraniumitis, and gets the antidote::

EO_Fix-It says:
::Walks into Sickbay and sees the XO lying on a Biobed.  His eyes widen in terror.  He repeats to himself over and over as he walks over to a Nurse: "I didn't do it!  I didn't do it I tell you!".::

CTO_Webster says:
::walks down to the command area, but doesn't sit in the big chair::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::glares at OPS  then goes back to her console::

CMO_Fielding says:
::waves the dermal and vascular regenerator, then injects the antidote::

EO_Fix-It says:
*CTO*: Yes? ::Stands there looking at the Nurse as he constantly licks his burnt lip.::

CMO_Fielding says:
XO: Good as new, sir.  'bye now.

CTO_Webster says:
*EO*: You are needed on the bridge.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CMO:  Thank you, April.

AOPS_Hacker says:
::shrugs and turns back to her duties::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
EO:  You!

EO_Fix-It says:
::Sighs and holds his lip.  Then releases his hand as the Nurse takes it away and starts the dermal regenerator.:: *CTO*: I'm in Sickbay... I sustained a minor injury.  The nurse is fixing it right now. ::Closes his mouth as the Nurse tells him to.::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::scratches her head::  CTO:  Apparently... things like this just seem to happen on the malfunctioning ships....

CTO_Webster says:
*EO*: As soon as you are able, report to the bridge.

EO_Fix-It says:
::Turns to the XO, blushing deeply.  He stands at attention;:: XO: Yes sir?

CTO_Webster says:
::turns to frown at the CSO:: Tas, do you think we are being affected this far from Kevspirian space?

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
EO:  ::sharply::  You're heading to the bridge?

CTO_Webster says:
::turns to Grayson:: FCO: How far from the Kevspire System are we?

EO_Fix-It says:
::Nods.:: XO: Just as soon as the Nurse here... ::Points towards her.:: Fixes my lips... ::Shows his burnt lip.:: Yes sir.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CTO:  I really don't know, sir.

FCO_Grayson says:
CTO: About ten minutes, Commander.

CTO_Webster says:
FCO: Thank you.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
EO:  Good!  I want you to find out and tell me why the ship is falling apart around me and knocking me unconscious.  ::swings around and heads out the door::

CTO_Webster says:
CSO: Try and find out, please, Lieutenant.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::enters a turbolift:: Computer: Bridge!

CTO_Webster says:
OPS: Still no signal from the Dragonfly?  We should be able to at this range.

EO_Fix-It says:
::Grumbles.:: XO: It wasn't my fault that that beam came down on your head.  I just did exactly what the CEO told me to do...  She said put it up... She didn't say anything about welding it in place!  So it's not my fault!  It's the CEO's fault sir! ::Smiles thinking he's totally right.::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::enters the bridge and strides over to the captain's chair, picking up the beam and tossing it to the floor angrily, mumbling something about poor craftsmanship::

CTO_Webster says:
::quickly moves back to Tactical as the XO returns::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
XO:  Are you alright, Torgh??

EO_Fix-It says:
::Blushes deeper as the Nurse gives him a nasty look as she continues to fix his lip.  She doesn't say anything, just does her job.::

AOPS_Hacker says:
:;turns to the XO again:: XO: Welcome back sir. I hope you are feeling better.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CSO:  I'm fine, thanks to our good doctor.

CTO_Webster says:
::doesn't ask how the XO is doing, as he looks better than ever::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CTO, XO:  As far as I can tell, we are not being affected.  We're not malfunctioning....

EO_Fix-It says:
::Exits Sickbay and quickly heads to the bridge with his toolkit.::

CTO_Webster says:
XO: I guess it's just poor craftsmanship, sir.  You just happened to be in the wrong place...

EO_Fix-It says:
::Arrives on the bridge and looks for the XO.  Blushes a deep embarrassing red.:: XO: Engineer Fix-It reporting for duty as ordered sir.  ::Walks up to him and stands at attention.::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CTO:  Poor craftsmanship?  On a Starfleet vessel?  That's not something that will be tolerated.  As soon as this mission's over, I'm having a word with Starfleet Command.

CTO_Webster says:
XO: It's a better thought than sabotage, sir.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
EO:  I want you to fix this mess and explain to me why it happened.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
FCO:  What's our status?

EO_Fix-It says:
::Looks at the beam on the floor and blushes even a deeper red than ever.  Quickly scurries to it and pulls out some anti-gravity straps and attaches them to the beam.:: XO: Aye sir.  I'll have the whole ship checked out. ::Looks over to the XO.:: This shouldn't have happened...

FCO_Grayson says:
XO: We should be approaching sensor range any moment now, sir.  Shall I drop out of warp now?

CTO_Webster says:
::hears Mr. Grayson and gets prepared to run her tactical sweeps::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
FCO:  Yes, please do so.

EO_Fix-It says:
::Quickly directs the Engineers to assist him with reinstalling the support beam.  He gets up on a anti-gravity platform and moves up to put the modular support beam in place.  Then uses his laser welder to secure it.::

FCO_Grayson says:
XO: Aye sir, dropping out of warp now.  ::drops the DJ out of warp::  Going to half impulse.

AOPS_Hacker says:
::rechecks the automatic hail again::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::runs scans once out of warp::

CTO_Webster says:
::begins scans::

EO_Fix-It says:
::Scans his welding and smiles as the modular support beam is secured in place.  Then starts checking the other support beams.::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
OPS:  Can you at least pick up the Dragonfly on your sensors?

CTO_Webster says:
XO: Sir, I'm not getting any ships on my scans.  It seems the entire system is devoid of traffic.

EO_Fix-It says:
::Gets down off the anti-gravity pad and walks over to the main bridge support beams as he starts scanning the rest of the bridge.  Sighs as he wants to play his game again, but knows he can't, not while on the bridge.::

AOPS_Hacker says:
XO: Sorry Commander, no sign of the Dragonfly yet.

EO_Fix-It says:
::Sighs and then orders the rest of the Damage Control Team to clean up his mess while he continues to scan the bulk heads of the bridge.::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CSO:  Getting anything on that electrical interference?

CTO_Webster says:
OPS: Are comms down throughout the system?

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
XO:  Nothing right now.

EO_Fix-It says:
::Finds nothing else wrong, then starts to fill out a report.  Quickly finishes and then walks over to the XO.:: XO: I've conducted a complete scan of the rest of the bridge.  Nothing else seems to be wrong here.  But as I mentioned, I ordered a complete check of the ships structural integrity sir.  I'll file that report when I have all the data.

CTO_Webster says:
CSO: Tas, did the ships notice any type of build up or warning before the interference struck?

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
EO:  Thank you .  You may return to your station.

EO_Fix-It says:
::Smiles and nods.  Then gathers the Damage Control Team and heads out of the Bridge and enters the Observation lounge and starts checking it for anything wrong.::

AOPS_Hacker says:
CTO: All systems seems normal, Commander. Could be a problem from that electrical interference.

CTO_Webster says:
OPS: Understood. Thank you, Ms. Hacker ::tries not to smile at the name::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
XO:  There seems to be no warning.

AOPS_Hacker says:
CTO: To be honest, there just isn't anyone out there to respond.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
OPS:  See if you can contact the planet.  Maybe they can shed some light on this mystery.

EO_Fix-It says:
::Grins as he starts delegating all the duties to the Engineers and stands there watching them.  Then pulls out his PADD and starts to play his game again.::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CSO: No warning and no source?

AOPS_Hacker says:
XO: Aye sir, opening a channel.

AOPS_Hacker says:
COM: Planet: This is the USS Don Johnson, please respond.

CMO_Fielding says:
::busily prepares for casualties she doesn't expect to have::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
XO:  That's right.

EO_Fix-It says:
::Stomps and throws a fit and the PADD as he loses.::
