Mission Summary 11303.21
The USS Don Johnson was informed of a  tragedy at the Risan Meeting and are  currently en route to Earth after some  disturbing imagery made itself available to  their new Doctor.
A prophecy that leads to the end of the  Federation, certainly disturbing not to just  the crew of the USS Don Johnson, but  possibly, to the entire cosmos.
The ship comes to an all stop as sensors  detect a finite field of tacheon emissions  directly in their path.  The crew decides to  investigate while the Captain puts the ship  and crew at its highest readiness levels.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Resume  Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

EO_Lt_Garlingus says:
::grumbles and mopes around engineering thinking about insensitive bridge personnel::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: At her station, closely monitoring and trying to narrow down what the object she had on sensors was.::

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::on the bridge, monitoring helm, maintaining full stop, keeping all propulsion modes in ready, concerned about his navigational readings::

ACTION: The USS Don Johnson arrives at the coordinates at the source of the tacheon readings and as smoothely as the ship traverses space, so does the comm traffic dissapear and silence take over.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
:: On the bridge at his console ::*EO*: How are thing at engineering?

EO_Lt_Garlingus says:
::taps his comm badge:: *CEO*: Commander! Good to hear from you.  Things are well down here, we are receiving some strange reports, but nothing unusual.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
*EO*: Check out those reports if there something unusual report me back

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Turns toward Quinn::  FCO:  Do you hear anything on your frequencies?

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::shakes his head while looking back at the CSO::  CSO: Not a Thing Commander

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
FCO:  Neither am I.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
*CEO*:  Engineering, we may be having problems with the comm system.  We are not hearing anything beyond the ship.

EO_Lt_Garlingus says:
::taps away at his console oblivious to the comm:: Self: I wonder why I am so ... hungry. ::steps out of engineering and heads towards the mess decks::

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::checks and re-checks his nav charts::  CSO: This is strange...  My nav charts are...  I've lost the data-link with Starfleet.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
CSO: You picking up any interference, other than the tacheons?

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
CSO/FCO: I am detecting some disparaging readings at my station here on the bridge. It seems that the ship chronometer is reporting in different parts of the ship

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Tries a variety of frequencies, pausing as she listens to Tobias.  Then turns around to look at him.::

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
*EO*: Run a diagnostic level 1 on our ship chronometer.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: lifts a brow as the CEO adds his report.::  FCO:  Take us back slowly the way we came in.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
CSO:  Aye.  :; keys in reverse impulse and throttles to 1/4::

EO_Lt_Garlingus says:
*CEO*: Aye sir, after chow though, okay? I'm quite hungry... ::steps into the mess hall and goes to a food replicator:: Replicator: Meatball soup.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CEO:  Commander On, keep a close eye on the chronometers.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
*Engineering*: Engineering, bridge; can you have a look at our communications array, I'm showing a data-link failure with Starfleet

ACTION: Faint and sporadic communications are now being received with greater volume and frequency the further they travel in reverse.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
Computer: Run a diagnostic level 1 on our ship chronometer

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
CSO: I am doing that, Commander

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::gets an intermittent data-link acquisition confirmation, then failure; repeating::  Self: Come on wonky.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
FCO:  I am picking up a signal again.  Take us to the point we first entered this.... area.  Then I would like you to do a circumference.

EO_Maximillian says:
*FCO*: Bridge, Engineering, it looks like there's nothing wrong with our communications array, just that we aren't receiving a whole lot of traffic.  Not really detecting any interference either.

EO_Lt_Garlingus says:
::sits to eat his soup quickly so as not to upset the Commander On::

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::enters new heading an speed:: CSO:  All-right...  Triangulating.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CEO:  What do your systems say now?

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
CSO: Intermittent connections, keeps connecting and then loosing connection

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
CSO: Let  me check ::Taps a few bottoms to see what’s wrong with the communication system ::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Has the computer computate the incoming telemetry.::  FCO:  Bring us to a stop.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CEO/FCO:  It would appear, that unknown object is at the center of the disturbance.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::sets impulse propulsion to zero, and enables station keeping::  CSO: Answering all stop

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
CSO/FCO: The communication systems are returning to normal by the central point we get

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Nods and turns to quietly speak into the comm, asking the captain whether they should stay or continue to Earth, given as she did not yet know the prophecy.::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
*CO*:  Understood.  :: she turns back to the others.::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
All:  We are to investigate.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CEO:  Can you create us a relay system?  Rather like cookie crumbs we leave behind so that the further we go in, we can still maintain contact with the outside?

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
CSO: We can launch a probe? or  a buoy?

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CEO:  Multiple ones.  Please get on it.  As soon as you are ready, we will return.  Deploy them as we go.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
:;updates nav settings while a stable connection exists::

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
CSO: Okay, I got your idea. I can launch little ones in order to leave a trail and to keep communications

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: nods::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
FCO:  Plot us a course to return to that object.  Once Commander On is ready we will go back in.

EO_Lt_Garlingus says:
::wipes his mouth and finds his way back to main engineering:: Self: I'm hungry again... What the...

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
:: speaks with the EO in charge to assist him in this experiment to launch little probes to keep communication working at all times ::

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
CSO:  Aye aye.  ::enters course, sets speed::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Informing the CO and XO of the plan, she then waits for the CEO to finish.::

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
CSO: Finish! We can go on right now

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CEO:  Lay the first.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
FCO:  As soon as the first is deployed, enter into the region.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
CSO: Very good commander.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
:: with the help of engineering starts to send little probes to keep the comm and he is watching the progress at his console at the bridge ::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
FCO/CEO:  Hopefully if something goes wrong, they still had an ace to play with.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
CSO/FCO: Ready now

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::engages at full impulse::  CSO: On our way.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: taps a few of the keys, again, narrowing in on the object.::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CEO:  You said the chronometers read differently throughout the ship?  Not just one time jump forward or backwards?

ACTION: As the USS Don Johnson enters the suspicious area and loses all communications with Starfleet Command and the buoys they left behind.
