<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Begin New Year >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: At her station on the bridge, going over science rotation for shore leave... assuming it was still on with the delay.::

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::on the bridge, at helm, updating navigation charts prior to departure::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
:::on the bridge::

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::Glances over navigation and propulsion systems status displays, everything is green::

ACTION: A message is received from the planet.  The prisoners due for release are missing.  No sign of them on any scans.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
FCO: Is everything ready for the transfer of the prisoners, Ensign?

ACTION: An alert is heard from the sensor panel. All Don Johnson personnel on the surface have dropped from sensors.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
CO:  Yes Captain.  We are holding geo-sync orbit over the transport coordinates and....  Ah sir...  Message from the planet.  The prisoners are missing.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
FCO: Missing?  How can that be?  What about our crew who were on the planet?

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::brushes off his uniform and stretches looking at the Stellar Clock on the display:: Self: Time for rounds...

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
CO:  Their scans are negative, they are asking if we might have a go.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
FCO: Yes, we should.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
CO:  Sorry sir, checking.  ::checks for transponder signals from crew on planet::  

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
CO:  Sir, I am not able to locate any crew transponder signals.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
FCO: That's not good.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::gathers a couple PADDs together and heads out into main engineering from the CEO's office:: Self: I hate admin duty.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
*EO*:  Engineering, you guys working on the sensors?

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
FCO: Could they have returned to the ship unnoticed?  I doubt it highly, but check.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
CO:  Captain, transponders and comm badges are out, I've got nothing here.  It’s like they've all vanished.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::taps his comm badge:: *FCO*: What's that bridge?

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
FCO: That's not good.  Contact Risa and tell them that we are missing crew as well.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
*EO*:  Hey Lieutenant, we seem to have lost contact with our crew on planet.  Transponder signal, com badges, the works.  I was wondering it you guys were working on the sensors.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Listening, places her padd to the side on the console and taps a few keys.::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::goes over to the sensor control sub processor station in Engineering and pulls up the external sensor subsystems diagnostic display:: *FCO*: That's a negative there bridge, Level 5 diagnostics come back green, I’ll commence level 4 and get a couple engineers to grab a shuttle pod for a visual check to make sure the gear isn't fouled by space debris.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::calls over a duty crewman::

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
*EO*:  Thank-you.  ::checks sensor displays again::  CO:  I don't know what to say Captain.  They just aren't there.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Noting nothing wrong with communication on the ship, she expands it outwards.::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::hates the thought of having to send an away team down to the planet, for fear of them vanishing as well:: FCO: Thank you, Ensign.  We may have to go down there ourselves.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
*FCO*: Have you tried sending out a communications probe into the atmosphere to boost signal reception?

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: As something catches her eye, she pauses the sweep and pulls up the area in question.::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Are you getting anything, Commander?

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
CO:  We could beam down a signal marker and see is our sensors pick that up.  It would at least confirm that our sensors are working properly.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
FCO: Do it!

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
CO:  Aye.  ::sends a text message to transporter operations with the request::

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  We appear to have a sensor shadow.  :: enlarges the area.::  It is near Risa's moon.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: What's causing it?

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
EO: Go grab a level 3 tech to pilot you a shuttle and inspect our external sensor palettes located here ::points to the padd he's holding:: EO: and here.  ::hands the padd to the EO and goes back to the master console::

Transporter Chief says:
::via text message::  FCO:  Signal marker away, and on planet.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Slowly shakes her head::  CO:  Unknown at the moment.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
CO:  Captain, the signal marker is on the surface.  CSO:  Commander, do your sensors pick detect it?

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Runs the scans through a program to enhance it further as well as running diagnostics on sensors.::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Do we need to move closer to find out?

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  Unknown, but I am unable to determine what it is at the moment.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
FCO: See if you can move us in closer to determine what that sensor shadow is.  Maintain a watch on sensors.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
FCO: I am not picking anything up from the marker.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::picks up some bleeps on some systems goes over to them and dismisses them:: 

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::accesses thrusters and impulse::  CO:  Aye Captain.  Breaking geo-synchronous orbit.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::adjusts course to close on the sensor shadow::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
*FCO*: Bridge, request permission for shuttle to depart on extravehicular assessment of external sensors, ship must be at all stop with impulse engines and warp engines powered down and on standby.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
*EO*  Stand-by Engineering, we are maneuvering for effect.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
*FCO*: Acknowledged, teams are standing by.  Additionally, I'm getting sensor errors that are indicative of an area in space that is not scannable.  Is the CSO up there?

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: As a light flashes on her console she looks over.::  FCO:  I have the marker on sensors now.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::looks back at the CSO::  *EO*  Yes she is.  ::smiles::

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Hearing, she politely waits to be contacted.::  CO:  Sensors are cleared.  I have lost the shadow.

ACTION:  As the ship approaches the moon, sensors pick up combadge signals from the missing crew from the moon's surface.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
::Almost frowns.::  CO:  I am now picking up the missing crews combadge signal on the moons surface.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::nav. sensors flicker::  Self:  What the?...  ::reduces speed to 300 meters per second.::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Can we beam them up?

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
*CSO*: Hey Commander... Oh, never mind.  Is your staff messing with my engineer's calibrations?  Because the logs are showing some odd errors.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
*EO*:  No, however my sensors are picking up oddities.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Scans the moon for life signs.::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
*CSO*: Alright, Well, they show clear now.  Whatever was interfering with them has passed now.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  I am not picking up any life signs, only the comm signals.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
CO/CSO:  What about the prisoners?

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: turns around::  CO:  A distraction?

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Could be.  You say you lost the shadow?  Did you pick up anything like a trail?

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: adjusts sensors::  CO:  I am picking up residual trace of a warp trail.  It is heading away from the moon, out of the system.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
FCO:  Unknown.  :: sends the coordinates to the transporter chief for the combadges.::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
FCO: Can you track that trail, set an intercept course and go after it?

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::pulls up a chair to an engineering workstation and takes a sip of his coffee that was brought to him::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::takes another sip as he thumbs through the maintenance and watch schedules over the next week:: Self: Seamus made this look easy... When do I get to be an Engineer and do Engineer stuff?

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::scans for ion trail signature and fixes it to the sensors::  CO:  I have the ion signature, it has a pretty fast decay rate though.  It won't be around for ever.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
FCO: Can you follow it?

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
CO:  For now, yes.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
FCO: Then by all means, do it!

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  Combadges have been beamed aboard.  Running a match against crew.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Good, so we'll know who we're missing.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::ties the signal into the navigation system and plots the course::  CO:  Course plotted, initiating pursuit.  ::goes to warp::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
FCO: Thank you, Ensign.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::throttling up, warp 2,... 3,...  4,...

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  All ten badges accounted for of the tactical team.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::looks over at the core and sees it increase in output in conjunction with a speed change and warp engines engaging:: *FCO*: Sooo... We're not going to conduct this maintenance anytime soon, eh?

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
*EO*:  Sorry sir.  

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::shrugs:: *FCO*: That's alright.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::sends a message to the shuttle bay to recall his engineers::

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Focus on the warp trail as it gets stronger, running the pattern through the data base.::

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
CO:  Ion signature is increasing in strength sir.  That would suggest we are gaining on our quarry

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Thank you, Commander. Can you tell if Commander Fowler was among them?

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
FCO: Excellent.  Maybe soon, we'll see what we're dealing with!

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::throttles past warp 7::

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::wonders what this ship can do as he checks the stability of the warp field the pushes the throttle to maximum, smiles when he thinks about what the EO is going to say::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::adds a nano sized finite formula value into the matter anti-matter mixture to cause a "bump" in the road:: Self: Hehehe, that should get 'em. ::smiles widely::

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::enables active reactor control and increases reactant pressure to 110 percent::

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  Captain, there is an oddity with the trail.  I am picking up tachyons from a cloaked vessel, but the warp signal appears to be Ferengi.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::overhears the CSO::  Self:  Ewwwww, no the Ferengi.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Ferengi?  That is odd.  We should be catching up to them soon.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::notices an override alarm and grumbles at the over confident helmsman but chuckles::
