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

XO Cmdr Lemmick says:
*CO*:Captain Horn...we've detected the  SS Kalifay. Were moving to intercept.

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
::At his station going over several reports at the same time, multitasking in his usual Vulcan way::

EO LtJG Garlingus says:
::looks around the bridge in frustration::

FCO Ens Quinn says:
::at the helm, moving the DJ closer to the Kalifay::

XO Cmdr Lemmick says:
OPS:Was there any response to our hail?

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::looking over the ship's manifests while surreptitiously monitoring the EO::

EO LtJG Garlingus says:
::taps the FCO on the shoulder:: FCO: MISTER Quinn, is it?

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
XO: No sir.  Nothing at this point.  That makes point 3 a match.

FCO Ens Quinn says:
::looks up at the EO, dismissing him almost immediately::   EO:  Lieutenant.

CO Russ Horn says:
::Arrives on the bridge::

CO Russ Horn says:
XO: Report!

EO LtJG Garlingus says:
::gets startled by the TL doors opening:: All: Captain on the bridge!

XO Cmdr Lemmick says:
CO:Were moving towards the  SS Kalifay. Sensors show nothing outside the ship...no stars no nothing.

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::notes that the EO is a little jumpy as well as irritable::

CO Russ Horn says:
XO: I noticed that myself out my viewport.

FCO Ens Quinn says:
::puts impulse engines in stand-by and continues on with maneuvering thrusters::

CO Russ Horn says:
XO: Any signs of any of the other ships?

EO LtJG Garlingus says:
::eyes bolt around the room and land on the CNS:: CNS: Sigh. ::heads toward the TL the CO just walked out of::

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
EO:  Hang on a sec.  ::jumps up and joins the EO::

XO Cmdr Lemmick says:
CO:So far it's only the  SS Kalifay

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
CO: Captain, I think I might have an answer but I am not 100 % certain at this point.

XO Cmdr Lemmick says:
CO:Still no response to our hails...their communications could be down.

CO Russ Horn says:
OPS: Yes Cmdr.

FCO Ens Quinn says:
::looks at the ship growing closer on the main viewer, looking for battle damage::

EO LtJG Garlingus says:
::rolls his eyes and stops at the Engineering console on the bridge dismissing the EO on duty momentarily loading up a ship's damage report:: CNS: See I'm busy.

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
CO/XO: If I am correct then we would need to shift our thinking paradigm in order to get out of this.

XO Cmdr Lemmick says:
OPS:What do you mean Stidd?

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
EO:  That can wait a minute.  ::gestures towards the observation lounge::  We need to talk.  I promise I'll be brief.

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
CO/XO: On Stardate 42193.6 Captain Jean Luc Piccard of the USS Enterprise D encountered something similar.  Only this was an entity that later called itself Nagilum.

XO Cmdr Lemmick says:
OPS:There has been no indication of any kind of intelligence

EO LtJG Garlingus says:
::looks at the report and looks back at the CNS:: CNS: What... Reaaaally? Come on.

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
This entity was for lack of a better description a living laboratory.  The betazoid on his ship could detect no life either.

XO Cmdr Lemmick says:
OPS:Of any kind. You would think if there was it would have shown it's self already.

CO Russ Horn says:
OPS: Are the transporters online?

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
EO:  I'll order you if I have to.

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
XO: This is where we need to shift our thinking.  Look at is as if we are the mice in the maze rather than the scientists.

EO LtJG Garlingus says:
::pounds the consoles off button and calls the EO back over to resume his duties:: CNS: Order it. ::struts toward the TL::

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
CO: They are.

FCO Ens Quinn says:
::holds the DJ back from getting too close to the Kalifay, until communications are established::

CO Russ Horn says:
OPS: Bring weapons online.

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::more loudly than necessary::  EO:  To the observation lounge now.  That is an order.  ::heads to the lounge expecting him to follow::

XO Cmdr Lemmick says:
OPS:Stidd my friend, we are always scientists....::looks back at the Captain::CO:Sir?

CO Russ Horn says:
XO: Take an away team to the Kalifay.

EO LtJG Garlingus says:
::turns on his heal making faces behind the Commander as he walks::

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
::Brings weapons to operational status::  CO: Weapons are online and showing fully ready.

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::enters the observation room, stands and waits::

EO LtJG Garlingus says:
::raises his eyebrows:: OPS: Weapons?  CNS: SERIOUSLY? ::walks in slowly::

XO Cmdr Lemmick says:
CO:Understood

XO Cmdr Lemmick says:
FCO/*EO*:Report to transporter Room 1 for away team duty.

CO Russ Horn says:
OPS: Just watch for anything. I don't want to shoot unless I have too.

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::takes a deep breath as the doors close::  EO:  I'm not your enemy.  You seemed a bit.. overstimulated.  I wanted to be sure all was well with you.

XO Cmdr Lemmick says:
::heads for TL and holds the door::FCO:Let's go Quinn

CO Russ Horn says:
OPS: Keep a transporter lock on the away team at all times.

FCO Ens Quinn says:
XO: Aye sir.  ::hands off flight control to FCO Ensign Dekker, and follows the XO.::

FCO Ens Quinn says:
::enters the TL::

EO LtJG Garlingus says:
::looks to the CNS with anxious eyes:: CNS: I'm fine. *XO*: On my way sir.  ::points to the sky:: CNS: The bosses are calling!

XO Cmdr Lemmick says:
::orders the TL to transporter room 1::

FCO Ens Dekker says:
::assumes the helm station and logs in::

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
CO: I am a Vulcan.  I never shoot unless I absolutely have to, sir.  Transporter lock will be maintained.  I have transferred the log of the Enterprise to your private console also, sir.

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
EO:  I could have you declared unfit.  If at any time you feel you cannot carry out your duty, let the first officer know immediately.  Understood?

EO LtJG Garlingus says:
::sighs:: CNS: It would be completely irresponsible of you, Commander.  As you see, the ship is sans a Chief Engineer, and in his absence, I'm it.  Now if you'll excuse me... SIR, I have been ordered to the Transporter Room.

XO Cmdr Lemmick says:
::enters the Transporter room, grabs tricorder and phaser and tosses the same to the FCO::FCO: Ready?

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
EO:  Dismissed.

FCO Ens Dekker says:
::moves the DJ into transporter range::  CO:  Moving to transporter range, Captain.

FCO Ens Quinn says:
XO: Set sir.  ::moves to the pad::

EO LtJG Garlingus says:
::starts for the TL access in the lounge and pauses talking over his shoulder:: CNS: If you're truly concerned for my safety or that I would ever put this ship or its crew in harms way, you have an obligation to fulfill your commitment to relieving me of duty.  Until that time, you are to leave me grieve.

CO Russ Horn says:
OPS: Thank you cmdr.

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
EO:  You'd better hurry.  ::flops into one of the observation lounge chairs and wonders if he's done the right thing::

FCO Ens Quinn says:
::wonders where the EO is::

FCO Ens Quinn says:
::wonders where the EO is::

EO LtJG Garlingus says:
::heads into the TL:: TL: Quickly now, to the Transporter Room! ::runs out the super fast TL through the doors into the transporter room:: All: Sorry I'm late, Commanders without jobs, you know.

XO Cmdr Lemmick says:
*CO*:Were ready

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

XO Cmdr Lemmick says:
TR Chief: Energize.

FCO Ens Quinn says:
::double checks his phaser, makes sure it is set to stun, then holsters it::

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
CO: I figure 2 sets of eyes perusing the data are better than one at this point.

CO Russ Horn says:
OPS: That is correct.

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
~~~::listening for anything unusual::~~~

CO Russ Horn says:
OPS: If necessary I will man Tactical.

EO LtJG Garlingus says:
::grabs a tricorder and phaser belt and jumps on the transporter pads::

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
CO: Understood, sir.

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::with a sigh, gets up then returns to the bridge::

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
CO: I sense some unfamiliar consciousness.  It's faint and I don't know where they are physically

CO Russ Horn says:
CNS: Is that a situation I should be aware of?

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
CO:  Just that we are not alone. Captain.  Someone else is alive out here.

EO LtJG Garlingus says:
@::dematerializes somewhere and looks around:: Outloud: Woah! Where'd we go? Who are all of you?

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::sits at a secondary console::

CO Russ Horn says:
CNS: I meant with Lt. Garlingus.

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
CO:  If you needed to be aware of a situation with a crew member, you would be aware of it.  ::annoyed::

ACTION:  Sensors begin to fade, static begins to fill the screen.

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
::Begins working to clear the static from the screens::

CO Russ Horn says:
CNS: Thank you counselor. I just.........

CO Russ Horn says:
OPS: report!

EO LtJG Garlingus says:
@::looks at the FCO:: FCO: What are you doing here?

XO Cmdr Lemmick says:
@FCO:This could explain a lot. :: steps down off the transporter padd::

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::looks startled::  CO:  Someone needs help.  They are begging for help::

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
CO: Unknown at this time but it looks to be widespread.  I am also losing transporter lock as well due to reliance on the sensor arrays.

XO Cmdr Lemmick says:
@EO:Head for there engineering section...I am sure they could use the help. Quinn your with me.

FCO Ens Quinn says:
@EO: I beamed over with you...  Remember?

FCO Ens Quinn says:
@XO: aye aye, sir.

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::gets up abruptly and begins to pace at the back of the bridge::

EO LtJG Garlingus says:
@::gets startled by the FCO's lengthy statement:: FCO: Uh, right.  XO: Aye sir.  Mission?

CO Russ Horn says:
OPS: Are communications back online?

EO LtJG Garlingus says:
@::tags a yellow uniform running by:: Woman: I'm with you, where you going?

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
CO: Ours, yes, theirs, no.

CEO Latoya says:
@EO: Who the hell are you and where did you come from?!?

FCO Ens Quinn says:
@::looks sideways at the EO::

EO LtJG Garlingus says:
@::keeps pace with the moving CEO:: CEO: I'm Frank, here from the starship Don Johnson, you know the big flying New Orleans Frigate off your starboard bow Commannnderrr....

XO Cmdr Lemmick says:
@FCO:Let's go ::heads for the bridge::

CO Russ Horn says:
OPS: Is the tractor beam online?

FCO Ens Quinn says:
@::Follows the XO::

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
CO/OPS:  Tellerites.   Is there a tellarite transport  missing?

CEO Latoya says:
@ EO: Lieutenant Commander Benjamina Latoya.  ::steps into a TL looking the EO up and down:: EO: You're an engineer aren't you?  What Frigate?  We're blind out here and I'm very busy.

EO LtJG Garlingus says:
@::steps into the TL with the CEO:: CEO: Nice to meet you Benjamina.  I'm Acting Chief Engineer on board that fine Federation wessel ::coughs:: vessel.

CO Russ Horn says:
CNS: I believe one of the ships may have been.

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
CO: Tractor beam is still working sir.

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
CO:  They are nearby.  They need help.

CO Russ Horn says:
OPS: Tractor the Kalifay. I don't want to lose it.

XO Cmdr Lemmick says:
@::makes his way through the corridors::*CO*:We've made it over safe Captain. Seems they are damaged pretty good. Quinn and I are heading to the bridge to speak with the ships captain and get more information. Stand-by

CEO Latoya says:
@EO: Very well, suit up, we've got a number of systems down, why did you beam over to a federation vessel with a phaser? ::takes his phaser:: EO: Fool.

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::continues pacing and ~~~listening~~~::

EO LtJG Garlingus says:
@::grabs his tricorder and scans Latoya up and down:: CEO: Esta loca?  Give me my weapon back.

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
::Activates the Tractor Beam and secures the Kalifay ::
