Mission Summary:  10904.02

Mission # 300

The USS Don Johnson has dropped off sensors, though their last known coordinates had them approaching Bajor at high warp.  Search and salvage vessels have been dispatched.

On the DJ itself, the crew have found themselves trying not to compromise the timeline as all time locations buoys within sensor range show them to be 20 years in the past.  They must try to establish sufficient warp power to return to their own time without causing damage to the time stream.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Resume Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

OPS_Ens_Truus says:
::sitting at his console, face firmly in palm::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::in main engineering, trying to breathe life into five shuttle warp cores jury rigged into the DJ's power and propulsion system::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::At her console, checking both short-range and long-range sensors::

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
All: Okay, I need suggestions, people.  Reports please.

OPS_Ens_Truus says:
::looks up slightly:: CO: I got nothin'.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
*CEO*: Lieutenant, any luck with the warp core realignments,

EO Reese says:
CEO:  Intermix looks good, fuel temp and pressure are slightly low, but that what we want right now.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
*CO*:  Should have an answer for you in a few minutes, Captain.

ACTION:  The shuttle warp cores come online, restoring power levels to 85% of norm.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
*CEO*: Very well.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
Reese:  All-right, we're running out of time here.  Initiate the reaction.

EO Reese says:
 ::throws the switch, and holds breath::

OPS_Ens_Truus says:
CO: Sir, I'm not feeling very useful here. Permission to go assist the Engineering crew?

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Captain, sensors show nothing that shouldn't be out there

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: All quiet on the western front ::raises an eyebrow and a quick grin::

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Well, that's a good sign.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
OPS: Permission granted.

OPS_Ens_Truus says:
::snaps a salute and goes to the TL::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Don't tempt fate...::pauses slightly:: Ma'am

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Agreed, Commander. ::smiles::

EO Reese says:
::adjusting::  CEO:  We've got plasma flow.  Stable, and at around...  85% of standard.

ACTION:  Sensors detect the wormhole opening, Cardassian vessels on approach.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::surprised::  Reese:  Damn, looks like this might actually work.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
*CO*:  Captain, engineering.  We've got main power.  About 85% of normal.  ::crosses fingers::

OPS_Ens_Truus says:
::emerges in Main Engineering and goes to report to MacLeod:: CEO: Sir?

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
OPS:  Ensign?

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
*CEO*: Excellent.  Let's see if we can make this baby move.

OPS_Ens_Truus says:
CEO: Is there some way I can help out down here?

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
Self: spoke too soon  ::quick sigh:: CO: Captain, sensors show a wormhole opening and Cardassian vessels approaching

ACTION:  The Cardassian vessels appear to shimmer, then open fire on the station.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Sounds like we got warp back just in time.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::points to Reese::  *CO*:  Aye sir, transferring warp power to the nacelles.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
OPS:  Actually yes.  Keeping these shuttle reactors operating as one, is really taxing out warp control computer.  We'll need to make the odd manual adjustment if a reactor's power output gets too far out of synch from the others.  Would you mind helping out Reese here.

OPS_Ens_Truus says:
CEO: Long as he shows me what to do. ::he nods to Reese and motions him to lead the way::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: The Cardassians are opening fire ::checks the board quickly:: on the station

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Oh great, and we're not supposed to mess with the timeline.  Suggestions?

ACTION:  The station's weapons are quickly disabled...continued fire ruptures the power core.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::targets the Cardassians, only that::  CO: We know that the station had been attacked in the past

EO Reese says:
OPS:  Its easy as eatin’ pancakes.  ::points out the controls::  Just watch the individual reactor output levels on this monitor.  If a reactor gets out of synch, its display should turn red, you'll need to either increase or decrease the fuel flow until it goes back to normal.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: And what happened?

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: But was this one of those attacks?  ::taps a command:: Let's see how fast the computer can tell us that

OPS_Ens_Truus says:
Reese: Sounds easy, alright. ::watches the monitor::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: I have them targeted Captain ::looks up:: just in case

ACTION:  The station explodes causing a level 6 shockwave.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
OPS:  Just don't mess it up.  If it gets away from you, we have no way of ejecting these reactors.  :;smiles::

OPS_Ens_Truus says:
CEO: Oh good, I've always wanted to accidentally blow up a Federation ship.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Glances at the screen then back at her board:: Self: Damn

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
OPS:  Careful what you wish for.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: What, Commander?

ACTION:  The shockwave approaches rapidly.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::taps shipwide com:: *Shipwide*: All hands brace for impact.  Shockwave approaching.  All hands brace for impact

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Captain, the station just blew up and we've got a shockwave on the way

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::quickly sets about boosting shield power, enables a force field around the warp core array::

OPS_Ens_Truus says:
::blinks:: Self: Shockwave? From what...?

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Oh boy. That's not good. Can we ride it?

OPS_Ens_Truus says:
::quickly optimizes the fuel levels before it hits::

EO Reese says:
OPS:  Maybe they found our original warp core.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: If we turn ourselves to face it we should be able to, like the old water ships did

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Very good.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
AFCO: Turn the ship to face the shockwave.

AFCO says:
CO: Aye, Ma'am  ::turns the ship::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: It's a level 6.  I'll keep an eye on the stabilizers

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Thanks.

ACTION:  The flight control officer turns the ship to attempt to ride the shockwave just as the shockwave hits.  Once more the crew finds themselves spinning out of control headed for Bajor's sun.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::notices a PADD vibrating on a console and falling to the deck::

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
*All Hands* Hang on!

OPS_Ens_Truus says:
::is knocked to the floor by the impact::

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
::falls from her chair forward::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::grabs her console, wrapping her leg around the console stand:: CO: Captain! We're heading for the sun again

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
::nods in acknowledgement of the CTO::

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
*CEO*: Chief, we're headed for the sun again, I need this thing stabilized now!

ACTION:  The ship is flooded with light as it enters the sun's corona.  All on board can feel the rising heat.

ACTION:  As quickly as the impact happened, the ship is silent and still.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::working controls::  *CO*:  Working on it, Captain.  She's fighting it.

OPS_Ens_Truus says:
::gets on his feet and helps the CEO and Reese as best he can::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: CAPTAIN....::trails off as the ship goes quiet::

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
::gets up from where she fell:: CTO: Well that was quick.  Check readings on where we are.  Maybe we jumped back. ::crosses her fingers::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Stops and looks at her board tapping another command in, calling up sensors::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::hears alarms sounding all over the place::  Hicks:  Hicks, we need max power to the shields, find me some extra power.

EO Hicks says:
CEO:  Aye sir.

ACTION:  All systems are on reserve power, warp cores are offline, internal sensors indicate heavy damage, and medical reports hundreds are injured

OPS_Ens_Truus says:
::follows Hicks::

EO Reese says:
CEO:  Core array has scrammed, attempting to reinitialize.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Captain, internal sensors indicate heavy damage.  Sickbay is reporting hundreds injured

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
Reese:  Man, was that ever a good kick in the pants.  ::checks damage control console::  Oh were hurt.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::taps some more:: CO: All systems on reserve power

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: I'm not surprised.  Brace for impact only goes so far.

OPS_Ens_Truus says:
::relays as much power as he can to the shields::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: True, but at least we did have some advance warning

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: True enough.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
*DC teams*:  This is MacLeod to all damage control teams.  Time to earn your pay people.  You're PADDs have been updated with descending priority assignments.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::a soft beep:: CO: Captain, we're 500,000 km out from DS9 and ::both eyebrows go up:: our warp core is on sensors, but we're not in tractor range

OPS_Ens_Truus says:
::checks his PADD to see if he has the assignments too::

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Can we get to it?

EO Hicks says:
CEO:  Seamus, shields are as hot as we can make them without mains.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::calls up another small screen:: CO: Unless our engineering team can get us more power, it'll be very slow going

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
*CEO*: Our missing warp core has just shown up on sensors.  I need as much power as you can give me so we can go retrieve it, or use a shuttle.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
*CO*:  Yes sir.

OPS_Ens_Truus says:
Hicks: Activate the auxiliary generators. That should give us some extra juice.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
Self:  Now it shows up.

OPS_Ens_Truus says:
::quickly makes his way to the nearest one but directs Hicks to another::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Another beep:: CO: I checked the computer and it shows no trace of what happened.  And I just sent down the coordinates to MacLeod

EO Hicks says:
OPS:  Aux. generators are online, I'm going to kick them up to 110%

OPS_Ens_Truus says:
::he nods and also does the same::

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Okay.  Now, since our warp core just showed up on sensors, does that mean we're back where we were?  I hope???

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::allows a very small one shoulder shrug:: CO: Logic would dictate that you would be right

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: True enough. ::smiles::

EO Reese says:
CEO:  Good thing you put up a force field around the core array, reactors two and five have micro fractures, try to power them up again, and they'll breach.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::offers a grin::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
Reese:  All-right, isolate them from the rest and lets see it we can make it work with three.

OPS_Ens_Truus says:
::goes to reactor 5 and deactivates it::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::scans for time location buoys::  CO: The time location buoys say we are back where we started

EO Reese says:
CEO:  this is going to be one ugly plasma manifold when we're done.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Can we contact Bajor?

OPS_Ens_Truus says:
::eyes Reese then shrugs and does the same to reactor 2::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Attempting to right now, Captain  ::sends a hail to the station::

OPS_Ens_Truus says:
CEO: Good to go.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::And a standard hail to Bajor::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
Reese:  Yeah, first year cadet ugly

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
*CO*  Bridge, engineering, we are going to attempt to restart the reactor array.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
*CEO*: Acknowledged

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: No response.  ::taps the console:: Communications are down

OPS_Ens_Truus says:
CEO: I should probably get back to the bridge. You guys keep up the good work.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
OPS:  Sure, well thanks for your help, lad.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Seems to be on our end

OPS_Ens_Truus says:
::takes the TL and returns to the bridge:: CO: What'd I miss? ::grins playfully::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
Reese: All-right, kick her in the guts.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
OPS: Well, we're back where we're supposed to be, but our comm units are down. So we can't contact either Bajor or the station, suggestions?

EO Reese says:
::throws switch::  CEO:  initiating reaction.

OPS_Ens_Truus says:
CO: Check the relays and external plating, something might be blocking our signal.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
OPS: Good idea, that's your next assignment. ::grins::

OPS_Ens_Truus says:
CO: Well that's what I get for helping. ::laughs and gets to work::

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
OPS: Good job helping with engineering, by the way.

OPS_Ens_Truus says:
CO: Sure, no problem. Incidentally, is this a bad time to ask for a raise?

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
OPS: Yes. ::grins::

OPS_Ens_Truus says:
::nods and returns to work. Checks the relays and plating::

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: How are our tactical systems from the jolt?

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Running diagnostics now  :: a beep:: Functional and at 85 percent accuracy

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Checks sensors, both long and short range::

OPS_Ens_Truus says:
CO: Well, the good news is that our problem isn't outside the ship... it's inside. The comm circuits are fried.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
OPS: Can they be fixed?

OPS_Ens_Truus says:
CO: Yeah, but it will take a while.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
OPS: Well then, let's get to it.

OPS_Ens_Truus says:
::he nods and grabs a circuit mender to begin his work::

ACTION:  Sensors detect a small probe or torpedo casing approaching at high velocity.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Well, let's hope that we don't need that other 15 percent.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Looks down at her board as an alarm sounds:: CO: Captain, we've got something

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: What, Commander?

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Sensors detect a small probe or torpedo casing.  It's approaching at a high velocity

ACTION:  A loud thud is heard as the object passes through shields and hits the ship near the bridge.

OPS_Ens_Truus says:
::bumps against the wall as the object hits:: CTO: You don't say?

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Sounds like it just hit us.

OPS_Ens_Truus says:
CO: Didn't cause any damage, did it?

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Did it cause any damage?

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO/OPS: A thud isn't the usual thing that happens when we get hit

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::activates sensors to check for damage::

EO Reese says:
CEO: Well I don't know, these reactors just aren't responding, I think the A.D.R matrix failed.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Seems like a slight dent. Nothing worse than if we'd hit a meteor

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Okay, what was in that thing?

OPS_Ens_Truus says:
::still attempting to get communications back:: CO: Whatever it was, it went right through the shields. Weird.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::CO: Scanning it, Captain

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
Reese:  Well, as long as we have the location of our original core now, I'd say it might be better to scrap this array, get our real core back and reinstall it.

EO Reese says:
That works too.  I'll get flight operations to send a shuttle to tractor it back.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::nods::  Self:  I just hope its not too badly damaged.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Scans show we can bring it aboard.  Tractor or transporter, Captain?

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Transport, it's faster.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Aye, transporting it to cargo bay 2
