Mission Summary:  11103.03

The USS Don Johnson crew has been transported up from the surface as an unidentified ship continues to steal the planet's water supply, including all living creatures within the water system.  

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

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: sitting in the shuttle with her son, heading to meet her cousins, she watches Sha carefully follow through the simple maneuvers she gave him.::

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::in a turbolift on the way to the bridge::

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: A flashing red light on her console takes her attention.  Hitting the emergency comm frequency, she listens as the duty officer orders her back to the ship.  She listens as he explains there is an alien ship around Risa, basically sucking up the waters from the planet, including the life forms in the water.::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::grabs a uniform from the closet in the transporter room and puts it on walking toward the turbolift::

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
@ Sha:  My apologies, we must return to the ship.  There is an incident occurring that needs our presence.  :: letting her son adjust the flight path, with her checking to make sure it is correct, she explains to him what is happening.::

Sha says:
@  :: sighs, not totally surprised.  Getting away from ship and duty was rarer then some people thought.  But at least he had been able to fly a shuttle on his own... well, with someone, his mother, but still, she let him do the flying and apparently was going to let him take them back to the ship.::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::hurries and gets into a uniform before heading to a turbolift::

ACTION:  An alert from the surface (confirmed by sensors) indicates that the ship is also transporting up large amounts of vegetation, minerals and other natural resources.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::holds the turbolift doors for the Captain:: CO: Skipper, What do you think, they want ocean water for a new pool they're building?

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::moves to the door of her quarters:: W.A.: You should be okay here.  ::points at her console:: You can keep up with what's going on there.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::enters the turbolift and orders it to the bridge::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
EO: I don't know, Frank.  I just hope we can figure it out.

W. A. says:
CTO: Go.  I know the drill.  ::kisses her quickly then heads to the desk with Rose following::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::nods as he steps off the turbolift and onto the bridge:: CO: Wait, this isn't my stop.  ::gets back in::

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::turbolift doors open, exits the lift as assumes station, relieving the duty FCO:: 

ACTION: Sensor readings show severe climate changes on the surface.  Authorities indicate that the population is moving underground for safety, but at the same time they are requesting emergency evacuation.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::chuckles as she exits:: EO: Enjoy the ride.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::smiles at her husband then heads out and runs to catch the lift:: Out loud: Make way!  ::shouts as she moves down the corridor::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::smiles as the turbolift doors close:: TL: Main Engineering.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
All: Report!

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
@:: As they arrive back at the ship, they had not gotten very far, she requests docking permission.  While waiting for it, she congratulates her son on a flight well done, and then takes over for docking.  Now is not the time to let him practice that.  As her son smiles wryly at her, she knows he understands.::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::enters a lift as she smoothes her hair a bit:: Out loud: Bridge

FCO Potter says:
FCO:  Ensign.  ::stands to let the FCO take his seat::  I've pre-programmed an orbital departure, just waiting for the transporter room to signal all hands are a board.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::enters access codes::  FCO_Potter:  Thanks.  ::checks the navigational plot::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::gets an update from her tac/sec teams as the lift slows and the doors open, squeezes out and moves to her station::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::collects a padd from an Ensign waiting for him at the opening of Main Engineering::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::sits down in her chair and checks the sensor logs while the rest are getting settled::

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
::As she smoothly lands the shuttle, she turns to her son.::  Sha:  I give you the process of shutting down the shuttle.  Once that is done, take our gear back to our quarters and contact you uncles.  Le them know of the situation.  The rest of the day is yours, but keep in mind the ship is at red alert.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::checks propulsion system readiness, enables engine navigation relays::

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Standing, she listens to her son acknowledge her.  She could hear the pride in his voice.  A smile passed through her eyes as she stepped down.  Briefly she checked in with the flight officer, letting him know the situation and then with long strides, headed for the lift.::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Sensors are showing severe climate changes.  Risan authorities are moving people to secure areas and also requesting emergency evac, Captain

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::pulls a chair up to an engineering console near the warp core and wrangles in some security codes::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::nods at Norris for having that information already pulled up for her::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: That'll happen when you block the sun and then suck up all the water.  Can you get a better reading on the ship from here?

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
*Transporter Chief*:  Helm to transport control, I need status on crew recovery, are we all a board or what?

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: As the lift stops and the doors open, she pauses long enough to evaluate the situation on the bridge.  She then followed through, stepping off.::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Glances at Norris:: CO: Checking now, Ma'am

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  Captain... anything I need to know?

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::does so quietly as he wonders where Seamus is in all of this:: Self: Boosting the gain on the cargo transporters should allow for them to operate with greater efficiency in transporting the crew safely back. ::begins the configurations thinking this would be best used to transport back to Risa ... not the ship::

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: As she talks, she logs onto her station, regretting having left in the first place.::

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::sets orbital departure plot to continuously update::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: The situation on Risa is desperate.  They're having severe climate changes.  The people have gone underground for safety, but are also requesting evacuation.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::kicks back in his chair thinking about the beach remembering he left his holocamera on the beach sofa:: Self: Nuts...

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: nodding she reads through the sensors.::  CO:  If the situation is not reversed soon, the planet may take decades to recover.

TO Norris says:
CTO: Not a clear reading on that other ship out there.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Agreed.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TO: Need better than that, Mister.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  Has anyone made contact with them?

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Not to my knowledge.  I was thinking of trying that myself.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: We're scanning the unknown for any weaknesses, Captain

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::watches the large alien ship through the main screen::

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: nods and activates communications to the alien vessel.::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: When you find one, give it all you've got.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  No response.  Though there is no indication they are receiving us.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::loads pre-set evasive maneuvers into the nav-system::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Aye, Captain.  The unknown seems to be running silent

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::goes to the Engineer's experimental console and decides to activate his demo sub routine:: Self: I wonder if that'll have the ... desired ... effect.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Thank you, Commander.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  I suggest that we try for its attention.  ::wryly::  however, given its size, we might also want to prepare to get out of the way.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Agreed, on both counts.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::reads through the diagnostic report as it comes in on communications array efficiency improvement::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Our scans are showing that it's mostly hollow, but there are what seem to be chambers.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Chambers for what?

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::receives a padd from a crewman:: aEO: Ensure that all damage control teams have all necessary components and tools stocked.  I know we go through these checks before and after every drill, but this isn't one of those times we want to show up to a party without our hyperspanner wrench.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: It appears that each resource being mined from Risa is going into those chambers.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  Given the amount of matter being taken in, it would need to be mostly hollow.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Storage then.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: See if you can't get its attention somehow.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::taps a command in and some readings scroll down her screen::  CO: That's what it seems to be.  I'm getting some bio readings, but nothing clear.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::breaks obit to avoid setting too close to the other ship, adjusts course to stay close but not too close::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: That's not good.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO/CO:  Given we need to return what is being stolen, one that does not breach the ship.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Sin has a point. ::smiles::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: A shot across her nose, then

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Sounds good to me.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::gets into high gear:: PO_Walter: Come with me. ::grabs a tricorder and scans the console he's working on:: PO: Add redundancy to the EPS relays at this station.  Also, tie in one of the secondary impulse reactors to feed directly into the Main Engineering shielding system.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Scans the ship for an entrance port.::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
FCO: Ensign, be ready to beat feet out of here if we make the ship mad, though.

PO Walter says:
EO: Aye sir. ::runs away to his tasks::

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::links helm to compliment tactical::  CO:  Aye aye Captain.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::taps another command, pulling up the firing program::  Out loud: Firing for effect  ::touches the console::  now

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::holsters his tricorder and gets a padd with department readiness reports:: Lt. Zuni: See if you can handle this mess between Rola and Ike.  They appear to be 'missing' at the same time each day and coming back exhausted.  

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  I have an alternative if that does not work.  There are two portals that our ship can access theirs.

Zuni says:
EO: Aye sir, I'll put them on different shifts so as to assure the ... absences ... ceases while on duty.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Very good!

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::gets alerted that the ship is firing weapons and goes to the tactical console in engineering to ensure all reload and recharge systems are operating nominally::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Their shields handled that shot, Ma'am

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::increase warp core output to simulate warp one levels releasing the over generated atmosphere through the exhaust vents on the aft section of the nacelles:: *CTO*: I'm giving you all the juice Commander.  So long as you don't try to engage the warp engines during the fight, your phaser bank recharge time is halved.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
Self:  It's never easy

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Guessing we didn't get its attention then.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: fingers dancing along the console, measures the shielding strength against a torpedo followed by phasers.::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
*EO*: Noted.  Good work

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::steps away from his console to watch the warp core pulsate:: *CTO*: Aye.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO/CO:  A torpedo should be able to weaken the shield enough for phasers to cut through, allowing us to enter.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Maybe we need to knock a little harder

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::notices an energy allocation deficit, warp power shunted to weapons,  shakes head::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Go to it!

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Aye, Captain ::fingers move across her board::  Out loud: Torpedo away

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::watches the sensors and the small screen in front of her::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::a hurried Ensign charges toward him with reports of plasma being wasted out the aft vents due to the phasers not being fired:: McBritches: Well fix it! Reduce warp core output, or route the power in through to our lower batteries and start a battery charge.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Keeps a close scan of the area.::

Ens. McBritches says:
EO: You ton't unterstant sir! Relays are a burning up, you musta retuse the power!

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::waves him off as he stands watching the warp core mesmerized:: McBritches: Fine! Go to replacing them!

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
McBritches: And it's pronounced REDUCE.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: That should get their attention, now.  We've got a hole big enough to get a shuttle in now

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: looks toward the captain to see what they will do next.::

Ensign McBritches says:
EO: You titn't have the tip of your tongue cut off when you were a lat, tit you?  ::walks away muttering::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Big enough for a shuttle, huh?  Well, I don't know if we should actually DO that.  But it might work.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Have a shuttle standing by, Captain?

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  If the ship is automatic, we only need to get someone inside to shut it down and reverse the process.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Should I alert a team ready to go?

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::scans the ship, keeping an eye on the shields::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Yes, to both, Commander.  We need to get someone inside, as Sin said.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Aye.  Permission to lead the team?

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::taps his comm badge:: *Bridge*: Hey bridge.. Why have we stopped firing, my Engineers are getting restless and don't want to replace burned conduits.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Granted.  Get our pleasure planet back!

ACTION: Mining operations begin to slow.  Sensors indicate storage chambers are reaching their capacity.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TO: Norris, take over here and alert Alpha team.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  Captain, that ship is in the process of slowing.  Storage chambers read as almost being full.  We are almost out of time.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Acknowledged.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Get to it, Commander!

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TO: Get a couple of medics to meet us

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::looks at the decimated planet below::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: On my way ::enters the lift and heads down::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::taps his comm badge again:: *FCO*: Hey pilot, what's going on up there?

TO Norris says:
CTO: Aye ::sees that she has already left the bridge::

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
*EO*:  Hey engineer, important stuff is going on up here, what's going on down there?

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
*FCO*: Where? On the planet? I was comfortably photographing the nude beaches when I was transported back to this metal dungeon.  Incidentally, if you take us to warp now, the only thing that will be left of the ship is the burning plasma trail from our imminent destruction.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
*EO*:  Thanks for the advice.  Just keep the engine stoked with coal, eh?

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::enters the shuttle bay, sees her team and a couple of medics enter just behind her::  Out loud: Load up, we've got work to do

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TO_Liakos: You're pilot today, take us in.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
*FCO*: Aye, you're welcome.  You got any news on us shooting them phasers again?

TO Liakos says:
::nods and moves to the pilot’s seat as Fowler takes the co-pilot seat::

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
*EO* Doesn't look to be the case.  We are going to try sending an away team over in a shuttle::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::throws his hands in the air:: *FCO*: And what if I cut power to the shuttle bay doors? Why does nobody inform engineering! ::dials into the power grid and reduces warp core power output back to nominal levels and resets the breakers that lead to the warp nacelles:: Lynch: Shut the plasma vents back to 5%, we don't need to vent as much.  Those Tacticians said no need.

ACTION:  Communications pick up signals from the raiding ship indicating that the vessel has completed harvesting the required resources and will be returning to Veganda in 12 doctari.

Shuttle Bay OPS says:
*CTO*:  Shuttle one, your flight checks are cleared, interval steady.  Bay doors are opening, you are cleared for departure.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
*EO*: Lieutenant, report to shuttle bay, ASAP

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  I am picking up a signal heading out from the ship.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: What does it say?

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
*EO*:  You should take that up with the Captain.  I'm just an ensign.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::grabs a tricorder and a phaser from a nearby locker hitting up a site to site transport:: *CTO*: On my ::shimmers:: CTO: Way.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: running through the translator.::  CO:  They have completed harvesting and are returning to Veganda in 12 doctari.

Shuttle Bay OPS says:
 ::maintains bay door forcefield at standard levels::

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Lifts a brow.::  CO:  Not sure that translated completely.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
*CSO*: Commander, would you join the team in the shuttle bay ::realises that she should have said something while still on the bridge::

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Pulls up the star charts.::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Doctari?  Notify the team that they must hurry.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::gets on board the shuttle and looks around:: CTO: Who are these people?  Do they work here?

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
*CTO*:  We will need to leave now... I am on the way.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::grins:: EO: Yes, they work here, too.  Ready to do some work on a new ship?

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Nods to the captain as she grabs her tricorder and with long strides makes the lift.::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
*CSO*: Noted

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::maneuvers the DJ to within 250,000 km of the alien ship::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::takes the communications station:: CTO: Eh, you know... Why not.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::watches as the CSO leaves, knowing the CTO is getting the best team.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: As the lift stops at the shuttle bay, which she had left not long ago, she heads for the waiting shuttle.::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::gives a short laugh:: EO: Find a seat, then and hold on

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Climbs aboard the shuttle.::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::pulls up the ship to ship communications and begins cycled transmissions of power level outputs, life signs and system statuses back to the mother... I mean father ship::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
CTO: Aye sir.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Takes a seat at the small science station.::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::scratches his chest and looks around yawning:: CSO: They serve drinks on this cruise?

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Nods at the CSO::

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
EO:  I am afraid you drinks are currently on the other ship... which is about to head of this system.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
*Shuttle Bay OPS*: Shuttle Apollo  ready for departure

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
CSO: Ohhh I see, so we better go get them then, yeah? *FCO*: What can you do for me about a coffee about so tall, and so hot.

Shuttle Bay OPS says:
*CTO*:  Acknowledged, interlocks release, launch when ready.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Finishes tying in with the ships sensors.::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
*Shuttle Bay OPS*: Thank you, Apollo out
