Mission Summary 11310.31
The USS Don Johnson is on station just outside Starbase 320.  Three days have passed and no word from the Sector Commander with their new orders.

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

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: On the bridge, things relatively quiet as they were basically in a holding pattern all around.::

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::in the armory checking inventory::

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::on the bridge, sitting at the helm, looking at the main viewer focused on the starbase::

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
::in his quarters, just letting his mind wander::

Capt_Neepad says:
@COMM: USS Don Johnson: Come in Don Johnson, this is Starbase 320.

OPS_Smarn says:
COM: This is the Don Johnson. Go ahead.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::frowns as yet again the numbers don't agree:

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::attention is suddenly drawn to the OPS officer, answering the incoming hail::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Moves to take a seat in the command chair and looks over at Smarn::

Capt_Neepad says:
COMM: Smarn: Please put me in touch with your Duty Officer.

OPS_Smarn says:
COM: Do you mean the head of the department? I am currently on duty.

Capt_Neepad says:
@::is startled by the question:: COMM: Smarm: No, the Officer of the Deck.  Who has the conn now?

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: lifts a brow almost humorously as she listens to the interchange.::

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::reluctantly realizes that the only way this is going to reconcile is if he does a manual count of every weapons locker on the ship::

OPS_Smarn says:
COM: That would be Commander So`tsoh. ::routes the communique to her:: She's all yours. ::Looks over at the commander:: CSO: On screen or just audio?

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS Smarn:  Put it on the screen.

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
::put Neepad onscreen:: CSO: On screen.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::downloads a map of weapon locker locations into his tricorder::

Capt_Neepad says:
@::as she was sitting with her chair slightly skewed to the left she straights up as she sees the screen light up::  COMM: CSO: Commander So`tsoh, is it?

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Sitting straight and still, she looks at the woman on the screen and nods her head in polite greeting.::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
COMM: Capt:  Yes, ma'am.

Capt_Neepad says:
@::nods back:: COMM: CSO: I was sorry to hear about your Captain's transfer.  I didn't think my report to Starfleet was so scathing.  Fortunately, they used unofficial channels and his record will not be negatively affected.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
COMM: Capt: Understood.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::downloads the most recent list of inventory into his tricorder::

Capt_Neepad says:
@COMM: CSO: Sorry to have kept you waiting so long outside our doors.  But we have a mission for you.  I need you to beam an away team into the lower section of one of our docking rings.  We have strange reports of apparitions and such.  My crew is too busy, can you please investigate immediately?

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::calculates how long it will take to check every locker::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Lifts a brow.  They were not paranormal investigators. However, given they had nothing else really to do, there was no harm.::  Capt:  As we are still on hold here, that should not be a problem.  A team will be down shortly.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::decides to go for lunch first::

Capt_Neepad says:
@COMM: CSO: Thank you.  Starbase 320 out.

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
::arries on the bridge and relives Smarn::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: As the comm goes blank she turns toward Quinn:  FCO:  Are you up for a ghost hunt?

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::looks to Donovan as he arrives, gives a quick nod::

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
CSO: Do Vulcan's believe in ghosts?

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::heads to the mess hall::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
FCO:  No.  However, I do believe anything is possible if not improbable.  And to be honest, I am bored.  Sooo...

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
CSO: Well then, by all means, what did you have in mind?

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: turns toward Donovan::  OPS:  Inform Lt. Ki we will be heading for the station.  Ask him to bring one other person.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
FCO:  A stroll apparently.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS:  Care to join us?  :: stands::

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
*TO*: Donovan here. You're coming with us to the station. The commander has asked you to bring a friend.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::sends a call for a duty FCO to report to the bridge to relieve him::

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
CSO: Sure ::beams::

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
::calls Smarn over to take back operations::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS/FCO:  I will meet you in transporter room one in five minutes.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
*OPS*: On our way.

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
CSO: Standard equipment?

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::nods to the CSO::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS: Yes.  I am going to stop at science to pick up an energy transcriber.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::comms ENS Deadmeat and asks him to meet them in the transporter room with AT gear::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: At the lift doors, she turns the bridge over to the duty officer and steps through the lift doors.::

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
CSO: Very well ::leaves for the transporter room::

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::stands up as FCO_Ens_Frattin approaches as relief::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: As the lift stops on deck four, she makes her way to the main lab and once inside, the back storage room.::

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::Follows the CSO to the transporter room::

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::waits for Deadmeat to catchup then heads to the transporter room::

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
::arrives in the transporter room::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Finding the scanner in question, she tucks it into her bag along with her tricorder.  Pausing to inform Jack to keep an eye on things on the bridge, she heads out and to the lift, ordering it to transporter room one.::

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::follows closely behind the OPS::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: As the doors slide open, she pauses that brief moment before entering.  Nodding to the transporter chief, she gives him the directions before stepping onto the padd.::

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
FCO: Have a Phaser :: hands him a phaser:: And a tricorder...hmm..what else...

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
::distributes everything to everyone and steps up on the pad::

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::takes the phaser and holsters it, takes the tricorder and holsters it as well::  OPS: thanks

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: watches as the team quickly assembles to join her.::

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::arrives in the transporter room.  He and Ensign Deadmeat find spots on the transporter pad::

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
TO: Ki..I have something special for you ::hands her a phase rifle::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
TO:  We are investigating reports of an apparition on the lower section of a docking ring.  We will divide into two teams.  I will lead one, you will lead the other.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
OPS:  Thanks.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
CSO: Right

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: looks to the transporter chief::  TC:  Beam us down.

ACTION: The Away Team dematerializes off of the USS Don Johnson after a trigger happy CTO reluctantly lowers the shields and are beamed directly to Deck 55 section 13 of Starbase 320.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: As the transporter releases them, she looks around in general, all her senses reaching outward.::

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
::looks around::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
@::reports to the Bridge and takes his station::

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::looks around, to get bearings::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS:  You will go with Ki.  Mr. Quinn you are with me.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
TO:  You head to the right, we will take the left.  If you see or hear anything unusual, contact me immediately.  I will do the same.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
@::monitors the away team situation and the ship's tactical system::

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::moves a little closer to the CSO::

ACTION: The lights go out and emergency lighting turns on on Deck 55 with faint echoes of chains in the distance.

Capt_Neepad says:
*CSO*: Commander, we have detected your transport.  Sorry about the lights, that just seems to keep happening on that deck.  We're working on restoring them!

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
Self: Convenient.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Lifts a brow, just withholding a sigh as she pulls out her tricorder.  The lighting is nothing to her eyes... she actually appreciates the lower level.::  *Captain Neepad*:  Understood.  We will be in two groups as we investigate the area.

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
::turns on his lamp::

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
OPS:  Okay.  Let's head out.  ::heads off to the right as ordered::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
@ *CSO*: What's going on Commander? I noticed that your section just went to emergency power.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::lightly strokes the grip of his phaser, making sure he can draw it quickly, if needed::

ACTION: A partially translucent, glowing, three foot tall version of a full grown Klingon Warrior can be found standing in Ki's way.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Reaching into her pouch, she hands the item to Quinn::  FCO:  This picks up energy readings in general.  You will note the usual background noise, both living and non.  We want anything that does not fit in.

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
TO: Kill it?

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
OPS:  It looks like a projection to me.  ::looks around for a source::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Activating her tricorder, she walks at a sedate pace, scanning the area.::  FCO:  You have some thoughts on this?

ACTION: The warrior runs into the wall and vanishes leaving a blue ectoplasmic residue behind.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
OPS:  Ewww... what is that?

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
::scans the ectoplasmic residue::

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::takes the device, looks it over, and activates it::  CSO: I never got you anything.  ::smiles, trying to lighten the mood::

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
TO: Dunno...trying to find out now.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
*CSO*:  We just saw a transparent mini Klingon

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
FCO: You bought me dinner a couple of times.  Does that count?  :: lightly she sniffs the air.::

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
CSO: No thoughts.  ::trying to read the device::  Open mind though.

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
TO: It's organic. Like...uh. Molasses.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: looking at Quinn::  *TO*:  Mini Klingon... anything of note besides mini and transparent?

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
TO: Go figure

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
CSO: I seem to recall you making me dinner at least once, I'd call it even.

ACTION: A Starfleet Officer missing both arms walks by the FCO and the CSO saying "excuse me" then walks into a nearby wall leaving a similar ectoplasmic residue.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
*CSO*:  It left some gunk behind.  Donovan's analysis indicates organic... like molasses.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
OPS:  I wonder if it tastes like molasses.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
*TO*:  It would appear we have something similar, only our guest had no arms.  If you can scrape off some of the material, beam it to the ship.  Science can check it out.

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
TO: You know. I have a sudden jones for candy now.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::laughs::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Pulling a small capsule out of her bag, she opens it to pull out a small scraper and takes a sample.::

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::turns to track the armless officers...  holds up his scanner to them for a reading::  CSO: Hmmm.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
OPS:  Do we have something we can collect this in?  ::pats his pockets::

ACTION: The decks where they are walking start to be covered with this ectoplasm making it difficult to walk...

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
FCO:  What do you have?

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
TO: I've got something.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
@ *Away Team*: Status report?

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
*CTO*:  Uncertain at the moment.  However, I am beaming aboard a sample for science to analyze.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
OPS:  Me too.  ::checks his shoes::

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
::takes a small putty knife out of his pocket and opens a compartment in his tricorder to scrap the stuff into:: TO: This will further analysis as well.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
@ *CSO*: Understood, I will set up maximum containment level in the lab. I am detecting the deck is being sealed off by emergency system protocols.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
OPS:  Commander So"tsoh wants it beamed back to the ship.

ACTION: The deck plating begins to shake as the air around the away team hisses.

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
TO: I don't have another container. I'll beam the tricorder back and we'll depend on yours.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::reading the scanner:: CSO: Some sort of ionized sub-space field energy, very low frequency.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::looks around, hearing a distinctive hiss::

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
::contacts Smarn and asks him to beam the tricorder back as he places it on the deck::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
*Capt Neepad*:  Captain, are you sealing off the area?  Our ship is picking this up, though we are not.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::takes out his tricorder and activates it::  CSO: There is a pressure differential building here.  This deck is loosing atmosphere.

Capt_Neepad says:
*CSO*: Commander, you must evacuate immediately! Our transporter systems are down!

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
*CTO*:  Lock on the away team and beam us aboard.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
@ *CSO*: You read my mind.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
::locks onto away team::

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
::watches the tricorder disappear::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
*TO*:  Prepare for emergency beam out.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
@ *CSO*: Ready?

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
OPS:  You heard the lady.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
*CTO*:  Yes

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::can feel it getting harder to breathe::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
@::beams the away team back with contamination protocols::

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
TO: I'm ready

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::waits in the gathering goo and wonders why he feels weird::

ACTION: The away team is pulled out moments before Deck 55 section 13 can be seen exploding into space a few globules of molasses floating away.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: As the beam releases them.::  All:  Let us try this again with environmental suits.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Steps off the padd and over to the back locker.::

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
::steps down:

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
*CSO*: The section of the Starbase is gone. It was blown out to space.
