Mission Summary 10705.17
Host Susan says:
The USS Don Johnson is currently orbiting and examining a planet for possible colonization.
Host Susan says:
During scans of the area, the DJ discovered an asteroid with a metallic mass within it. The mass is radiating diminishing energy signals as if from an engine that has died.
Host Susan says:
The investigation continues, what will they find?
Host Susan says:

CNS_Chandra says:
::Working away in Sickbay::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
::sitting on the bridge::
XO_Stidd says:
:: In Sickbay going over the readings from some of the ill::
TO_LtJg_Nisan says:
::at tactical running system scans::
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
:: At the helm::
CSO_Sojyngra says:
::in the lab with Crewman Suttle, looking over sensor data::
XO_Stidd says:
CNS: What is the current lifecycle of the illness, Counselor?
CNS_Chandra says:
XO: Careful there still may be a few who feel the need to evacuate their last meal, sir.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: Please maintain a safe distance from that asteroid.  I trust you still have that escape vector plotted and laid in?
XO_Stidd says:
CNS: I am no stranger to sickbay and the effects of bad food, or bad booze for that matter.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
CO: Aye, Captain, the escape route is ready to be executed if needed, I'm maintaining a safe distance.
Host Susan says:
ACTION: The engineer in the biobed beside the counselor sits up suddenly and throws up all over the counselor and executive officer.
CNS_Chandra says:
CNS: My guess for duration would be about twenty four hours sir.
XO_Stidd says:
::Taps his badge:: *CSO*: When you run your scans of the metal object, see if there are pathways big enough for a humanoid to move around in.
CSO_Sojyngra says:
<Suttle> CSO: That's why I think it was part of a larger propulsion system. This design just wouldn't be efficient, unless it was made to connect to something else.
XO_Stidd says:
Out loud: Another uniform for the replimat.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: Good Lt.   By the way how are you two doing?
CNS_Chandra says:
XO: See it told you.
CNS_Chandra says:
::Trying to wipe off what appears to be some type of beef off his uniform::
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
CO: Two? Oh you mean Jonathan and me?  We're doing great, sir.  He's been really busy with the replicator mess.  But we're doing fine.
CSO_Sojyngra says:
*XO* There are, but they're only large enough to be crawlspaces. My assistant just finished briefing me on his ideas as to what everything was used for. He's much better at technology than I am, so I had him look at it. He thinks its part of a propulsion system for sure. Those could be maintenance crawlspaces.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: Good I am glad to hear it.  It pleases me greatly to hear good news from my crew.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
CO: Thank you, sir.  So what do you make of this asteroid?  From what I've been hearing it sounds interesting.
Host Susan says:
ACTION: Sensors pick up a small craft on approach.
TO_LtJg_Nisan says:
CO: Caption a small craft is approaching
TO_LtJg_Nisan says:
::does some scans of the craft::
TO_LtJg_Nisan says:
CO: Size is around a shuttle.
TO_LtJg_Nisan says:
CO: Unknown Class Captain.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
TO: A shuttle?
CNS_Chandra says:
::Looking at the XO's rather soiled uniform and shaking his head::
TO_LtJg_Nisan says:
CO: The size of the ship is around that of a shuttle or fighter.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
TO: And it is not in our database either?
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
::looks up at the news and checks her own sensors:: CO: I concur, Captain, it's the size of a shuttle.
TO_LtJg_NIsan says:
CO: it's not in our database captain.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
TO: Manned or unmanned?
TO_LtJg_NIsan says:
CO: Unmanned, Captain.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
TO: Then it would be safe to assume it is a probe.
XO_Stidd says:
:: Continues to scan the patients for any unusual symptoms::
CSO_Sojyngra says:
::taking a closer look at Suttle's report, being prepared to answer any further questions:: Suttle: When I go to the bridge, why don't you come with me?
CSO_Sojyngra says:
<Suttle> CSO: Look, I know you've been worried about me, but you don't have to be morale officer.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
*XO*: Just to let you know we have an unmanned shuttle or probe on the sensors.  Would you like to return to the bridge?
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
TO: Scan for weapons of any sort.
CSO_Sojyngra says:
Suttle: No, I don't, not since this ship has a counselor. I think someone made that up on one ship one time and that stuck. It's not even a real position.
CSO_Sojyngra says:
<Suttle> CSO: You know what I mean.
TO_LtJg_NIsan says:
 CO: Yes captain. ::scans the probe for weapons.
XO_Stidd says:
*CO*: After a minor stop I shall.  I  have a uniform malfunction right now to take care of.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
::smiles:: *XO*: Understood Commander.
CSO_Sojyngra says:
Suttle: Yes, I do, and I'm telling you that's not what I'm doing. Part of being a good scientist is knowing when someone else's analysis will be more accurate than your own. I need you. This crosses into engineering and technology and you know, once it's not a matter of the reactions that go into it, that's not my forte.
XO_Stidd says:
CNS: You are on your own for now.  If you need more help, call me.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
::pondering on the approaching probe, leave the shields down or bring them online::
XO_Stidd says:
:: Turns to leave sickbay ::
TO_LtJg_NIsan says:
::finishes scan of probe:: CO: Captain I have found no weapons on it.
Host Susan says:
ACTION: The probe scans the DJ, causing all systems to flicker on and off.
CNS_Chandra says:
::Begins to look for a way to speed of the healing process of the ill::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
Out loud: Just what I don't need.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
::moves to the engineering station and begins to work on the systems that are flickering::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
::runs a level three diagnostic on the ships systems::
Host Susan says:
ACTION: The probe holds its position, and as it's scans of the DJ cease, so does the system interruptions.
XO_Stidd says:
:: Heads to his quarters to change and then to the bridge to check on this shuttle or probe::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: Back us away from that probe.
TO_LtJg_NIsan says:
CO: Seems the probe scans must have some type of EMP burst.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
TO: That I did notice.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
CO: Aye, sir, backing away. ::backs the ship away from the probe::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
::level three diagnostic comes back all green::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
::moves back to her chair::
CSO_Sojyngra says:
Suttle: ::as lights flicker:: Now would be a good time to get to the bridge.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
All: Ok what have we learned?  The scan of this probe interferes with our systems and the this antimatter or propulsion system inside the asteroid is still an unknown factor.
Host Susan says:
ACTION: Another burst from the probe and the DJ's shields drop.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
Out loud: Helloooooooo
CSO_Sojyngra says:
::Sojyngra approaches the turbo lift with Suttle:: Computer: Computer, is this turbo lift still functioning?
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
*Engineering*: Get those shields up.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
TO: Bring us to red alert
TO_LtJg_NIsan says:
CO Aye Aye Captain. ::brings ship to red alert.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
::moves back to the engineering console and hands fly across the board rerouting power from the fusion reactors to the shield generators::
Host Susan says:
ACTION: A beam of light crosses the bridge, slowly surrounding the Captain.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: Do what you do best Lt.
XO_Stidd says:
::Tries to exit his quarters and cant:: *CO*: I seem to be trapped in my quarters captain.
Host Susan says:
ACTION: When the light fades, the Captain isn't there.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
CO: Aye sir, just give the word. ::sees the captain disappear:: What the . . .???
TO_LtJg_NIsan says:
::has a look of shock on her face::
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
TO: Scan for the captain, Lieutenant.
TO_LtJg_NIsan says:
FCO: Yes sir.
TO_LtJg_NIsan says:
::scans the ship for the captain::
CNS_Chandra says:
*CO*: Perhaps you could keep the ship a bit steadier sir. It's a bit messy down here.
CSO_Sojyngra says:
<Computer> CSO: Turbo lifts are online. <CSO> Suttle: Take the Jefferies tubes. There may not be time for both of us to climb three decks, but I don't want to risk both of us in a turbo lift that may or may not work. If anything happens to me, you're in charge of science.
TO_LtJg_NIsan says:
FCO: She's not on the DJ or probe sir.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
@::looks around:: Self: This isn't Kansas any more.
CSO_Sojyngra says:
<Suttle> CSO: Be safe. <CSO> Suttle: I'll see you on the bridge. ::enters turbo lift:: Lift: Bridge.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
TO: That's just great, thank you, Lieutenant.
CNS_Chandra says:
Self: Ignored as usual, Hmmmpf.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
*CNS" We have a situation up here, Counselor.  The captain has disappeared.  Tactical reports that she's not on the ship or the probe we just encountered.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
@Self: Ok I guess this is the planet then or something like it I guess.  ::looks around at the scenery::
CNS_Chandra says:
*FCO*: Then I would suggest you take charge of the bridge and do something.
CSO_Sojyngra says:
::arrives on the bridge:: ::runs to Science station and looks at internal and external sensors:: Anyone: What just happened?
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
@Self: Question is how did I get here and who brought me here?
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
*CNS*: You're all heart, Counselor.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
@::begins to walk among the trees and shrubs::
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
TO: Scan the planet for her, Lieutenant.
TO_LtJg_NIsan says:
FCO: Yes, sir ::begins scan of planet::
CNS_Chandra says:
*FCO*: Now is not a time for heart but for action, Lieutenant.
Host Ce`os says:
@ ::takes a deep breath of the crisp clean air::
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
*CNS*: We first must locate the captain, then we can act.
CSO_Sojyngra says:
FCO: I'm sorry to interrupt, but I overheard. I'll scan as well. Did she go down there on her own with a last known location, or are we searching the entire planet?
CNS_Chandra says:
*FCO*: Your first priority is to the ship and it's safety.
Host Ce`os says:
@::walks slowly across the clearing to the stream, watching the animals at play::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
@:: notices that the air is clean and crisp and notices the small animal life around her::
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: We're searching the planet.  She was on the bridge and then she wasn't.
CSO_Sojyngra says:
FCO: Aye, sir. ::starts her scans near the equator and works out::
CSO_Sojyngra says:
::scanning for life signs::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
@::sees a small stream and bends to get a drink of the water and notices how clear and clean it is and takes a drink of its sweet water::
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: It happened right after the last probe surge.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
@Self: Ummmm that is quite refreshing.  ::looks up and sees the animals playing happily together and thinks of her own pets on the ship::
Host Ce`os says:
@::hears a sound off to her left and looks:: CO: Who are you?
Host Ce`os says:
@CO: Why are you here?
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
@::comes around in her Klingon defense stance and pulls her dktagh:: Ce`os: Who are you?  I am the captain of the DJ. And why are  you here?
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
@Ce`os: I was brought here.  And you?
CSO_Sojyngra says:
FCO: I'll look at those sensor records as soon as she's located or have my assistant look at them as soon as he gets here. ::looking for the CO::
Host Ce`os says:
@::nods:: CO: I was sent here, to test this land. I called Ce`os.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Very good, Sojyngra.  That's all I can hope for.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
@::sensing she is in no danger she sheathes the dktagh and stands::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
@Ce`os: I was brought here against my will.  I am called T'Ponga captain of the USS Don Johnson.
Host Ce`os says:
@CO: You want this place for your own?
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
@Ce`os: Our mission was to survey this planet for possible colonization.  That does not mean that we will colonize it.  For now we are here like you just studying it.
CSO_Sojyngra says:
FCO: I have two life signs on the southern hemisphere. One of them appears to be consistent with the captain's unique combination of species. I'm sending her coordinates to your station.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Good.  Can you bring her back to the ship?
Host Ce`os says:
@CO: The sustainers brought us here, brought this world.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
@Ce`os: The sustainers?  Who are they?
CNS_Chandra says:
*FCO*: Any news?
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
*CNS*: We've located the captain.  She's on the planet.
CSO_Sojyngra says:
FCO: No, sir. ::runs to another station:: I'll keep trying to get a lock on her, but I need an engineer.
Host Ce`os says:
@CO: They made this place
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: I understand.  And Lieutenant McPhee is busy right now. I'll see what I can do.
CNS_Chandra says:
@*FCO*: And? What's your plan?
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
*CNS*: We're working on a plan, Counselor.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
@Ce`os: Made this place?  It wouldn't happen to tie in with that asteroid field would it?
CSO_Sojyngra says:
FCO: With all due respect, Sir, there's an entire department to handle that. I'll contact engineering. I was just hoping you knew of someone close by.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: I know.  Contact engineering and get someone up here.  I'd hate to have to resort to a shuttle.
Host Ce`os says:
@CO: Asteroid belt?
CSO_Sojyngra says:
*Engineering* Bridge to engineering, I need the best person you have at cutting through interference to get transporter locks on the bridge, immediately. The captain's security is at stake.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
@Ce`os: Yes the asteroid belt.  You know of it?
CSO_Sojyngra says:
*Engineering* ::belatedly adds:: Please.
CNS_Chandra says:
*FCO*: When you need help you just let me know.
CNS_Chandra says:
<you>
CSO_Sojyngra says:
::hopes she has gotten through a crewman or an ensign after the way she just demanded that::
Host Ce`os says:
@ CO: No, I know only this place
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
@Ce`os: Oh ok I thought maybe you might have known about it.  Tell me about the sustainers.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
*CNS*: Got any engineering skills?
CNS_Chandra says:
*FCO*: A few.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
*CNS*: Come see if you can help Sojyngra cut through the interference so we can get our captain back.
CSO_Sojyngra says:
::Crewman Suttle arrives on the bridge:: Suttle: It looks we weren't just having technical difficulties. The captain has been abducted and taken to the planet. I want you to look through the censor logs and find out everything you can about how she was taken, so that it doesn't happen again after we get her back. I'll join you in a moment.
Host Ce`os says:
@CO: They provide for all our needs...they are everywhere, every when.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
@::watches as a small animal stops in front of her and look at her and she bends down and picks it up and holds it as she would her own pet::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
@Ce`os: These animals are very friendly as well.  Much like my own pets.
CNS_Chandra says:
*FCO*: Aye aye.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
*CNS*: Thank you.
