Mission Summary 10907.16

The USS Don Johnson has been dismissed, after the Scientific team chose to transfer to a smaller vessel and enter the Briar Patch to complete their tests/experiments. 

Since that time, the DJ has been awaiting orders from Starfleet and patrolling the area.  As of yet, there has been nothing significant to note.  

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

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
::sitting in her chair on the bridge::

FCO_Ens_Keegan says:
::happily keeping a close eye on her console, humming a tune in her head::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::At her station, checks the sensors once in a while, glances around the bridge and takes note of the others::

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Seeing anything interesting on sensors, Commander?

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::exits turbo-lift onto bridge, looks over the bridge for a moment then walks over to science station #1 and opens up his eng. kit.::

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CEO: Well, haven't seen you on the bridge in a while.

ACTION:  Readouts from the Science Station indicate conflict between the POD and ship systems.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::takes out a tricorder then opens the console service panel and begins scanning::  CO:  Yeah well you guys are usually pretty easy on the equipment up here, I don't usually have a need to come up here::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Nods at MacLeod then glances back down at her board:: CO: All clear, just the normal traffic on the long range sensors

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CEO: That's true. We try to be careful. ::smiles::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: I'm getting some intermittent interference on the short range sensors

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::nods with a smile to the CO::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::frowns at her board:: CO: It's in the form of static bursts, Captain

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Can you figure out what's causing the interference?

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Working on it Ma'am ::tweaks the sensors hoping to get a clearer reading::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::pulls the power to the science station and begins to remove a faulty system inter-link control module::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Frowns deeper::  CO: It seems to be localized.  ::Looks up at Newell-McPhee:: It's within shield range, Captain

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Recommendation?

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: I'd like to go to yellow alert while we chase this down.  Better safe than sorry, Captain

FCO_Ens_Keegan says:
::notices fingerprint smudges on the console.  She wipes the console with her sleeve and mutters softly::  SELF: hmm.. previous shift.. very dirty.

ACTION: The new inter-link control module restores proper communication between the ship and science pod.  Though additional failure signals pop up on the science console.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Very well then, Yellow Alert, and let's chase this down.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Aye ::sounds yellow alert as she fine tunes the sensors even more::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::looks over the science console as it blinks irratically to life::  Self:  Oh now what?

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CEO: Lieutenant, see if this interference we're getting is a system error or something else.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
CO:  I'll take a look.

ACTION:  As the science console blinks erratically, the sensors clear momentarily...revealing something on the hull in close proximity to the science pod.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CEO: I'm sending what info I have to you

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::checks displays::  CTO:  Aye, thanks.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
CTO:  Hey, ::points to sensor display::  That's no supposed to be there.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CEO: What?  ::moves over to look:: You're right

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
CTO:  What is it?  Organic maybe?

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CEO: Could be.  Can we get a closer view?

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
CTO:  Yeah, I'll boost the resolution gain.

ACTION:  An alert signals hull breach within the science pod.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
CO:  ::over the alert::  Don't think its a system error Captain.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CEO: Good ::breaks off at the alarm::  Can we get a force field there?

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CEO: I agree. Apparently we have a hull breach, seal it!

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::working controls:: CO:  Emergency forcefields are in place.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CEO: Thank you.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
All: I hate loud alarms.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CEO: Is it eating the hull?

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
*Engineering*:  MacLeod to main engineering, dispatch a D/C team to the science pod immediately.

EO Reese says:
 *CEO*:  Already enroute chief.

ACTION: Another alert indicates a hull breach near waste tanks.  

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CEO: I'll tie my station in with this one ::moves back to her station::  CO: Captain, we've got another hull breech

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
CTO:  It does look like some kind of corrosive action.  ::looks at alarm display::  And its fast little bugger.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Where at?

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CEO: But is it that fast or are there more of them

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Near the waste tanks

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CEO: Dispatch another team and seal that area as well, Lieutenant.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
CTO:  I'd say more of them, those two systems are not connected in any way.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::turns to the CO::  CO:  Aye aye, Captain.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CEO: I agree.  And if that's the case, then we'd better check the rest of the hull

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Begins scanning the rest of the ships hull::

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CEO/CTO: Don't let them eat my ship! ::smiles::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::access sensor probe control::  CTO:  I'm going to put a class five probe out to go over the entire hull, might find something the sensors miss.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CEO: Good thinking

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
FCO: Don't you just love Starfleet duty?

FCO_Ens_Keegan says:
CO:  Better than being an accountant.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::launches the sensor probe and ties it into the CTO's monitors::

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
FCO: True, a lot more interesting.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CEO: Do you think we should stop or would that bring even more of these buggers?

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
CTO:  Depends, did we pick them up at the Briar Patch?

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CEO: Unsure.  CO: Captain, we should send word back to the scientist and see if they found anything like our guests at the patch

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Good idea, send the message.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: On it ::Sends the message::  Message away

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Let's hope we get some answers that way.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CEO: Is there anything in the records about anything similar to this?

ACTION:  Within minutes a reply is received.  Their ship did not encounter the leeches, but they are one of the reasons for the team's presence.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Captain, we've got a reply

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: What did they say?

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: They haven't encountered the leeches, but they are one of the reasons for the science team’s presence

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::accesses the library computer::  CTO:  There is a reference to a starship coming into contact with a bacterial organism.  The organism was able to digest the molecular bonds in the duranium hull composites, effectively corrosion.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Maybe we should go back and have them scrape our hull. ::laughs::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: That is a thought Ma'am

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CEO: Is there anything on how to remove them or where they might come from?

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::retasks the probe to scan for this bacterial organism::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
CTO:  Not so much on where they came from, but the crew of the starship used a focused tunneling neutrino beam to eradicate the organism.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CEO: At least we've got a starting point

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Captain, we've gotten another message from the scientist. Putting it onscreen now

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
CTO:  Better than nothing

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
::looks at the screen::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
Outloud: So if we could find an asteroid field... ::drifts off::

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Scan for the nearest asteroid field, and send the coordinates to the FCO.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Aye, scanning now ::checks both long range and short range::

FCO_Ens_Keegan says:
::Looks alarmed:: CTO: Are you thinking of making me... brush the bugs off by bumping into rocks?

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
FCO: Don't scratch the paint, Ensign! ::laughs::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
FCO: Don't worry Ensign ::grins:: Maybe if we get close enough to an asteroid it'll smell and taste better to these guys than the DJ

FCO_Ens_Keegan says:
::nods:: CTO: Ahh, that seems.. much more prudent.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::checks the probe's progress::  CO: Captain, our sensor probe has detected three areas of contamination on the hull, one is on the top of the saucer section, actually very close to the bridge.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::a beep makes her look:: CO: Captain, I'm picking up several on long range sensors, the closest being an hour out.  ::Checks her board:: The briar patch is under 26 hours away

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CEO: Okay we need to get these buggers off of here..

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Send the coordinates to the FCO.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: I'm sending the information to Ensign Keegan ::taps a command::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::grins:: CO: Aye Captain

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
CO: permission to try the tunneling neutrino beam, it worked on the other ship.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
FCO: Plot a course for the nearest asteroid field and get there post haste!

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CEO: Go ahead.

FCO_Ens_Keegan says:
::enters the coordinates from the CTO:: CO: Aye Captain, away we go.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::retasks the probe to emit a tunneling neutrino beam and sets it to target the organism on the top of the saucer::

ACTION:  The organism draws up to a tiny speck, but does not completely release it's hold.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
CO:  Okay, that didn't entirely work.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
CO:  I think I slowed it down a little.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CEO: Well, we'll see if the asteroids help.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: It should since the asteroids won't be likely to bite them back

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: True enough.

ACTION:  The organism attached to the science pod eats its way into a power panel.  All power within the pod is lost, and it appears that the organism has quit advancing.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CEO: Did you see that?
