::on the bridge, at the helm, double checking speed and heading settings::

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::In his quarters getting into uniform::

CO Russ Horn says:
::In the observation lounge waiting for his officers to arrive::

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::checks his reflection out in the mirror::

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
:: Locks down his console and begins heading to the observation lounge to take his usual seat and hear what the captain says::

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::leaves his quarters::

CSO LtCmd So`tsoh says:
:: In medical, she takes a deep breath as she sits up, waiting for the nurse to finish the last bit of writing up her files on the blood transfusion.::

FCO Ens Quinn says:
::before following Stidd, discretely accesses and ties the lateral sensor array into the navigational sensors::

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::steps into a turbo lift::  TL:  Bridge.

FCO Ens Quinn says:
::walks into the observation lounge and sits down beside the OPS officer::

CTO Cmdr Fowler says:
::Going over the security/tactical schedule with Norris:: TO Norris: That's good, post that in the 'pit'

CSO LtCmd So`tsoh says:
:: As one of the technicians come in and report that the samples read 'normal', at least normal for her at this point, the nurse released her.::

TO Norris says:
CTO: Will do ::turns and makes his way to the security/tactical room::

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::emerges onto the bridge::

FCO Ens Quinn says:
::whispers::  OPS: Any idea what this is about?

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::crosses the bridge::

CTO Cmdr Fowler says:
::continues onto the lounge, enters and finds her seat::

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
FCO: All I know is that we were asked to report here.  It could have something to do with the order to fly this ship to the badlands.

FCO Ens Quinn says:
::nods in agreement with OPS::

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::enters the observation lounge::

CSO LtCmd So`tsoh says:
:: With a nod of thanks, she slides off the biobed and heads out for the nearest lift.  A glance at the chronometer noted she was running a bit late.::

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
::Enters the Observation Lounge and takes his usual seat ready for the Captain::

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::takes a seat at the far end of the room::

CO Russ Horn says:
::Stands as the crew starts to enter::

CSO LtCmd So`tsoh says:
:: Ordering the lift to the bridge, she does a quick check of person.  As the lift stops, she pauses, noting in a moment the status of the bridge before stepping off and heading for the observation lounge.::

FCO Ens Quinn says:
::glances at the Captain, trying to size him up::

CTO Cmdr Fowler says:
::watches the new Captain, gives her padd a quick glance, taps a quick command and then lets it go to stand-by mode::

CSO LtCmd So`tsoh says:
:: Another pause as the doors slide open and she steps through, her eyes automatically going to the man at the center whom she had yet to meet.::

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::crosses his legs::

CSO LtCmd So`tsoh says:
:: With a slight nod in greeting, she takes her seat.::

CO Russ Horn says:
::Notices the absence of the EO and the XO as he starts::

FCO Ens Quinn says:
::looks at his PADD which is displaying a real time remote helm control::

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::stifles a yawn::

CO Russ Horn says:
All: I am sorry that I have not had a chance to meet each of you personally yet, but I will be meeting with each of you as soon as things allow for it.

CO Russ Horn says:
ALL: For those I have not met I am Russ Horn.

CO Russ Horn says:
ALL: We have a very urgent mission from Starfleet.

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::scratches his chin::

FCO Ens Quinn says:
::pays close attention::

CO Russ Horn says:
All: As you know we are headed to the badlands.

CTO Cmdr Fowler says:
::leans forward, listening::

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::notes that he needs a shave::

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
::begins taking notes::

CO Russ Horn says:
::Punches a couple of buttons::

CO Russ Horn says:
ALL:You have coming up on your padds for those that brought them a list of ships.

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::activates a built in panel in the table::

FCO Ens Quinn says:
::calls up the message icon flashing on his PADD::

CSO LtCmd So`tsoh says:
:: A light touch to her padd brings up the files in question.::

CO Russ Horn says:
ALL: These ships have all been listed as missing.

CTO Cmdr Fowler says:
::Her padd 'wakes up' and she reads the information scrolling on the screen::

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::reads over the list::

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
::Examines the list:: mumbles: one Starfleet ship, Nova class.

CO Russ Horn says:
ALL: If you notice at the top of the list is the USS California a Nova class starship.

CTO Cmdr Fowler says:
::glances at the others then back at Horn::

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::attempts to activate the crew manifests::

CO Russ Horn says:
ALL: The other four ship were either transports or passenger ships.

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::reads over the lists::

CO Russ Horn says:
ALL: Starfleet wants to know what is happening in the badlands.

CO Russ Horn says:
ALL: There are over four hundred people missing including the Starfleet crew.

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::is relieved to discover he isn't personally connected to any of the missing::

CO Russ Horn says:
ALL: If you ave not read the report filed by Admiral Janeway while she was on Voyager I suggest you do.

FCO Ens Quinn says:
::wonders if this has anything to do with Terrance::

CO Russ Horn says:
ALL: That is but one possibility of what is happening here.

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
::Raises hand::

CO Russ Horn says:
OPS: Yes Cmdr.

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
ALL: I was under the impression that Admiral Janeway reported destroying the device that brought her where it did.  Am I mistaken?

CTO Cmdr Fowler says:
::scans over the list of ships and the names of the crews, looks up when she hears Stidd's voice::

CO Russ Horn says:
OPS: That is correct commander but we cant rule out that another one of those beings is doing the same thing.

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
:: Nods in agreement::

CO Russ Horn says:
ALL: We must also consider that the Borg could be involved.

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
CO:  Do we have any  idea where these ships were when they disappeared?

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
::Raises an eyebrow at the mention of the Borg::

CO Russ Horn says:
::Punches a couple of more buttons::

CTO Cmdr Fowler says:
::covers a small sigh at the mention of the Borg, then turns her attention back to the conversations::

CO Russ Horn says:
ALL: You have on your screens the last known position for all these ships.

ACTION:  The Operations officer on the bridge reports that they have just received an incoming message from Starfleet, another merchant vessel the SS Bahbahdos has been reported as missing.  Last known location was entering the Badlands.  The Bahbahdos had 75 souls on board.

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
:: hears the sigh and looks over at the CTO ::

CO Russ Horn says:
ALL: I don't think I need to state the urgency of this mission.

CO Russ Horn says:
ALL: Another possibility we must consider is the Cardassians.

CTO Cmdr Fowler says:
::nods slightly, making eye contact with the captain::

CO Russ Horn says:
ALL: Any other theories we should be aware of?

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
CO: Captain?

CSO LtCmd So`tsoh says:
CO:  Is there any evidence to lead to the belief the Cardassians are involved?

CO Russ Horn says:
OPS: Yes Cmdr.

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:

CTO Cmdr Fowler says:
::thinks:: CO: There could be some renegade Maquis still out in the Badlands.

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::drops his head::

CO Russ Horn says:
CTO: Anything could be possible here.

CTO Cmdr Fowler says:
CO: Something similar to the old Japanese soldiers from Earth's world war 2 that never heard about the end of the war

FCO Ens Quinn says:
::thinks "pirates" but remains tight-lipped::

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
CO:  I suggest we make haste to the last known position of the Bahbahdos.

FCO Ens Quinn says:
::uses his PADD to remotely search out and update the ships heading::

CO Russ Horn says:
CTO: I want the ship brought to yellow alert, and ave all your security teams on full tactical alert.

CTO Cmdr Fowler says:
CO: Aye, sir

ACTION:  Tactical reports that a probe has been detected.  Scans indicate that it originated from the SS Kalifay (one of the missing vessels)

CTO Cmdr Fowler says:
::sends a message to Norris::

CO Russ Horn says:
CSO: As soon as we reach the badlands I want full sensor sweeps run on a continuing basis.

CTO Cmdr Fowler says:
::her padd beeps, she reads the message::  CO: Sir, I've been informed that a probe has been detected.  Scans are indicating that it originated from the SS Kalifay

CO Russ Horn says:
CTO: Thank you Cmdr. ALL: This meeting is dismissed lets head to the bridge.

CSO LtCmd So`tsoh says:
:: Simply nods her head::

CO Russ Horn says:
OPS: Tractor the probe into shuttle bay 2.

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
CO: Aye sir.

CTO Cmdr Fowler says:
::stands and nods, follows the others to the bridge::

FCO Ens Quinn says:
::stands and makes for the bridge::

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
::Heads to his duty station and begins tractor beams to move the probe into SB2 as ordered::

CO Russ Horn says:
::Enters the bridge::

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::stands::

FCO Ens Quinn says:
::sits down at the helm and resumed his duties, checks the status on the link-up with the lateral sensors::

CSO LtCmd So`tsoh says:
:: As the others leave, she remains a moment longer, making a few notes on her padd before heading for the bridge.::

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::remains in the observation lounge, looking out the window::

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
::Looks over with some suspicion at the FCO but continues to do his work without comment::

CTO Cmdr Fowler says:
::Moves to her station:: TO T'Moval: Scan for any other probes.

TO T'Moval says:
::Moves to TAC 2 and continues to scan for more probes::

FCO Ens Quinn says:
::works controls::  CO: Captain, I've updated our course to take us to the last known coordinated of the Bahbahdos

CO Russ Horn says:
*CNS*:Horn to Luchena.

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::exits the observation room::  CO:  I'm here Captain.

CTO Cmdr Fowler says:
::Enters the yellow alert command and checks the sensors herself::

CO Russ Horn says:
FCO: how long till we arrive

ACTION:  The Shuttle Bay reports that they have secured the probe

CO Russ Horn says:
*CNS*: please join me on the bridge.

CSO LtCmd So`tsoh says:
:: As she takes her station, she looks at her padd, tapping a few commands and watches as the data scrolls across.::

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
CO: Probe is aboard, sir.

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
CO:  I'm right here.  ::sits in the XO's chair::

FCO Ens Quinn says:
::checks displays::  CO: E.T.A. 22 minutes, present speed, Captain.

CSO LtCmd So`tsoh says:
:: With a nod to her officer on duty, she takes a moment to listen to her report before she heads back to the lab.::

CO Russ Horn says:
FCO: Very good

CSO LtCmd So`tsoh says:
:: Taking her seat, she pulls up the sensor commands and begins to input commands for adjustment.::

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
whispers FCO: As the OPS officer it is my duty to monitor who uses what resources which includes the lateral sensor arrays.

CO Russ Horn says:
CSO: I want you to go over the probe and find anything that might tell us what happened.

CSO LtCmd So`tsoh says:
CO:  Acknowledged.

FCO Ens Quinn says:
::Sets proximity sensors on continuous update::

CO Russ Horn says:
CNS: Can you tell me if you sense anything out here.

CSO LtCmd So`tsoh says:
:: Takes a moment to call Rain back to take over sensors and then finishes the adjustments.::

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
CO:  Be assured I will let you know if I sense any consciousness beyond the ship.

FCO Ens Quinn says:
::whispers::  OPS:  Yeah, I know that, sir.  Why? Is there a problem?  ::tries not to appear nervous::

CO Russ Horn says:
CNS: Thank you counselor.

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
whispers FCO: Why are you tied into them when they have nothing to do with flight control? That is considered hijacking resources and can get you a write-up.

CSO LtCmd So`tsoh says:
:: As Rain joins her, she enters the last command and puts the changes on hold until they were ready to enter the badlands.  Standing, she gives a short command to Rain and then heads for the lift.::

SO Ensign Rain says:
:: Takes a seat and pulls up the current sensor readings.::

CSO LtCmd So`tsoh says:
:: As the lift doors close, she orders it to the shuttle bay::

CSO LtCmd So`tsoh says:
:: As the lift stops, the doors open, she pauses before walking onto the deck and heading over to the shuttle bay crew looking the probe over visually.::

CO Russ Horn says:
::takes a seat::

FCO Ens Quinn says:
::Whispers::  OPS: That's not it at all.  ::pauses for a moment::  The badlands tend to muck up my navigational sensors, so I tie in the lateral arrays to get better resolution...  Sorry, I guess I should have consulted you first.  ::tries to determine if the OPS Officer buys that::

CSO LtCmd So`tsoh says:
:: As they part for her to approach, she nods a simple greeting and begins the procedure for checking the probe over for any information before she begins downloads.::

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
Whispers FCO: From now on, clear it with OPS first.  Since the medical quarantine I have tightened security on resources.  I will clear it this time so you can improve your resolutions.

FCO Ens Quinn says:
::nods at OPS::  OPS:  Understood.

SO Ensign Rain says:
:: Makes note of the beginning of interference from the badlands::

FCO Ens Quinn says:
::smirks while turning back to the helm::

CSO LtCmd So`tsoh says:
:: Turning she asks one of the engineers for a sample kit. About then, the others begin to wonder away back to their work.::

CO Russ Horn says:
CTO: Let me know when we have arrived at the coordinates.

FCO Ens Quinn says:
::gets a warning light on the port grav-boot::  ALL:  We are entering the badlands.  ::slows to impulse speed::

CTO Cmdr Fowler says:
::Taps on her console, trying to keep up with the sensors as they enter the Badlands::

CO Russ Horn says:
CTO: I will be in my ready room. you have the bridge commander.

CTO Cmdr Fowler says:
CO: Aye,  Captain

CSO LtCmd So`tsoh says:
:: As he brings the kit, she begins to take samples of the unusual trace elements on the probe.  That done, she finishes her scans and notes the excess of chroniton particles.::

CO Russ Horn says:
::Exits to his ready room::

FCO Ens Quinn says:
::updates course to maneuver around plasma storms::

CTO Cmdr Fowler says:
::stays at her station, checking the sensors and compensating as they move further into the Badlands:: Self: Here we go

CSO LtCmd So`tsoh says:
:: Working swiftly and efficiently, she then begins to download the files.  It would take a few minutes to do that.  Once that was done, she would take the probe back to one of the labs for further study.::

SO Ensign Rain says:
::Informs the CSO they are entering the badlands.::

CSO LtCmd So`tsoh says:
:: Has Rain activate the sensor changes.::

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::watching the view screen, thinking how beautiful it looks::

CTO Cmdr Fowler says:
::spares a quick glance to get a read on the rest of the crew, then looks back to her sensors::

SO Ensign Rain says:
:: Following orders, she notes the slight changes from the incoming sensor readings from the badlands.::
