Mission Summary 11312.05
The probe collected by the USS Don Johnson has been thoroughly analyzed and the results are confounding.
Two hours have passed since the near destruction of the deflector dish and the Engineering Department is diligently making repairs and fabricating parts while the crew awaits.

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

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
::back at his station on the bridge, pensive::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Down in the main lab, looking at the results.  With a lifted brow she looks at two of her people.::

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::at the helm::

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::exits a turbolift onto the bridge::

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
::looks over at Ki as he enters::

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::looks at OPS and shrugs as he passes on his way to the tactical station::

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::wondering where Telarus is as he logs onto the terminal::

SO Emerald says:
CSO:  I measured it myself.

EO_Hiccup says:
*Bridge*: Bridge this is Engineering, we're still about a day and a half away from repairing the Main Deflector.  We have to keep main power offline until our repairs are complete.  Sorry about the mood lighting.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
*FCO*:  Lieutenant, what is our current distance from the debris field?

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
OPS:  I suppose running tactical scans would be a waste of our limited power?

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::looks over at the nav display:: CSO:  500 kilometers Commander.

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
*EO*: Understood, I'll pass the information along

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::checks particle density via short range sensors::

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
TO: No, you can go ahead. Scans aren't going to take up too much power

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
TO: Stick to passive scans maybe

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
*FCO*: We may want to keep it that way.  In the short time the probe was in the system, it lost not only its propulsion system, but a layer of metal.  It is possible it was 'polished' off.  But given what Ki found, the question then becomes, if it was the missing ships, how were they practically pulverized.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
CSO:  Aye sir.  I'll try to put some more distance away from it.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
OPS:  Okay.  Any more sign of that signal we were picking up earlier?

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
*TO*: Scan the area for any unusual power signals.  Something must have broken up the metal so finally.  Actually, more like pulverized it.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
*CSO*:  Initiating scans now.  ::does so::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Shaking her head, she exits the lab and heads for the lift.::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: As the lift stops at the bridge, she pauses that instant moment before stepping onto the bridge.::

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::looking at the results of the scans::

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::doesn't see anything out of the ordinary so far::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: moves toward the briefing room.::  FCO/TO/OPS: Join me, please.

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
::locks down his station and follows the commander::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
::walks into Main Engineering to gather damage reports and help out in the repairs::

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::stands, hands off the helm to a stand-by FCO, turns and follows the CSO::

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::explains to the backup bridge tactical person what they are looking for, then follows the CSO in the briefing room::

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::enters the briefing room, finds a seat::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Taking a seat she looks at the others::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
::looks for an engineer:: Engineer: What's the status, what's going on?

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::sits down and wonders what he's doing in a meeting::

CNS_Lt_Xaz says:
@ ::places her fingers across the controls as her shuttlecraft nears approach to the Don Johnson. She initiates a hail:: COM: Don Johnson: USS Don Johnson, this is Lieutenant Xaz of the Shuttlecraft Alfton. Please respond.

Engineer says:
CTO: Sir, we have parts replicating to replace what was shredded by the deflector failure. We can use every pair of hands.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
All:  Gentleman, given our current information, I see two options but I am open to others.  The options are simple.  We report our findings, make sure everyone is aware of the danger, and await new orders.  Or we determine someway to gather more information... something that can handle that debris field.

OPS_Ens_Myriad says:
COM: Alfton: CNS: We've been expecting you. Permission to dock granted

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
::taps COMM badge:: *CSO*: Commander this is Telarus.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
*CTO*: So`tsoh here.

ACTION: Vibrations can be felt throughout the ship as the stand-by FCO engages maneuvering thrusters and Engineers in EVA suits collide with the ship as it moves forward.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
*CSO*: Comman... ::feels the resonation of the ship::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
*CSO*: Standby, going to check what that was. We have EVA teams outside working.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Looks over at Quinn, questioningly::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
::gets status on EVA teams::

EO_Mangled says:
*Bridge*: Bridge! Bridge! What the hell are you doing? ::shudders as screams are overheard on the comm while worker bees try to escape the path of the Don Johnson::

CNS_Lt_Xaz says:
@ COM: Don Johnson: Understood. The Shmsae will be needing their shuttle back, so I will need to transport over. ::She looks over at the shuttlecraft pilot:: Pilot: Thanks for the ride.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::puts a hand on the briefing room table::  Aloud:  We're moving.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::hopes its not back into the nebula::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
*EVA Teams*: All team leaders report that you are ok and uninjured.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Stands and heads back out to the bridge.::

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::jumps to his feet and runs to the bridge::

OPS_Ens_Myriad says:
COM: CNS: We'll have the transporter room standing by

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
FCO_Jax:  Jax!  What are you doing?!  We don't have deflector power back yet!

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
FCO:  Bring us to a stop.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::follows the others onto the bridge::

CNS_Lt_Xaz says:
@ COM: Don Johnson: Thank you. I'll see you soon. Xaz out. ::She cuts the comm and turns toward the pilot:: Pilot: Please initiate transport. ::She smiles warmly at him::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
*Medical*: Prepare for injured.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::moves to the helm and reaches over Jax's shoulder, entering in a full stop command::  CSO:  Aye sir, answering all stop.

ACTION: The Don Johnson comes to an all stop as casualties are being reported in.  Emergency power has been rerouted to transporters to beam injured crewmembers directly to sickbay.

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
::having just arrived, turns around and exits to the bridge::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Looks at the replacement officer.::  FCO Jax:  What happened?

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::pulls FCO_Jax out of the help seat:: FCO_Jax:  Well!  What's up!

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
::retakes his station::

FCO_Jax says:
::looks at the CSO, then the FCO, then back at the CSO::  

CNS_Lt_Xaz says:
::materializes aboard the USS Don Johnson. She looks around the Transporter Room and cannot help but smile. It had been a while, that's for sure::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Steps back, her eyes flashing as she receives the incoming casualty report.::

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::looks closely at Jax::  CSO:  Sir, maybe he should report to sick bay?

CNS_Lt_Xaz says:
::Her smile suddenly disappears as she notices casualties around her. Not wanting to get in the way, she moves out of the Transporter Room and makes her way to the Turbo Lift::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
*CSO*: I am going to go see if I can get the Deflector Dish backup in some form even if it is a patch. We need to move away asap. I will have a team get the warp drive back online.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
FCO: Why?

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
::grabs a damage control team and a toolkit and heads to the TL for deflector control:: TL: Deflector Control

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
FCO Jax: No casualties, but serious injuries.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::relieves the officer at the tactical station::

CNS_Lt_Xaz says:
::She orders the Turbo Lift to the Bridge and taps her foot slightly wondering what is happening. This was not how she expected to come aboard her new assignment thus far::

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
CSO: The alternative is the brig.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Nods::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Closes her eyes for a moment, taking a deep breath before opening them again.::

CNS_Lt_Xaz says:
::One the lift arrives, she steps out onto the Bridge noting the hustle and bustle. She could tell by the controls that something was seriously wrong now::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: not wanting to leave the bridge under the current situation.:: OPS/TO/FCO:  The options still stand.  Your thoughts?

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
::wathches the situation unfold on the bridge with bemused detachment::

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::notes that the scans continue to be routine::

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::nods and motions for a security guard to escort Jax to sick bay::  Sec_Guard: make sure you stay with him.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Her eyes move to the stranger coming onto the bridge.::

CNS_Lt_Xaz says:
::She remains near the Turbo Lift for the moment as she assesses the situation. Her eyes meet that of the CSO. Noting her rank, she makes her way over to her::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Looks at the officer wearing medical as she approaches.  Nods a greeting as she listens for the others reply’s.::

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::tries to think of some brilliant plan to share::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
::addresses the engineers around him:: Engineers: We need to move. The priority is getting the backup navigational deflector back online and get us to a safer distance.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::getting nothing but a headache::

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
CSO: I can't think of anything commander. At least nothing that wouldn't jeopardize the safety of the crew.

CNS_Lt_Xaz says:
::She decides not to speak at the moment as she notes the brainstorming session::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: looks toward Tobias::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
::arrives at the secondary navigational deflector and begins to run scans and directing the team to replace parts::

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
CSO: We could try modifying a probe, increase its shields, might last long enough to get in and take a look.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
*CSO*: I am at the auxiliary navigational deflector, if we can get it up we can get back up to Warp 8 max.

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
FCO: i hate to point this out, but the ship's shields are a Lot more heavy-duty than that of any probes, and we didn't last long in there.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
FCO:  I remember as a child, an old fashion globe that had glitter in it.  You shook it up and glitter rain down.  That is what our probe picked up.  Though in this case, it was metal most likely from previous ships.  The chances of them surviving this long are extremely thin.

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
::looks dour::

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
OPS: yes, but the ship is a whole lot bigger than a tiny little probe.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::glances briefly at OPS::

CNS_Lt_Xaz says:
::She looks back and forth between the bridge officers wondering what the exact situation is. At the moment, tensions can be observed as increasing::

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
FCO: There might be a way.... hm...

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
Self: Huh, will you look at that, it just has a burned out EPS conduit from the main deflector. ::reroutes power and indicates the damage control team to replace the EPS conduit::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS:  You believe we should take the ship in or try another probe?

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
*CSO*: Commander good news...

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
*CTO*:  That would be nice.

CNS_Lt_Xaz says:
::Deciding not to remain in the way, she makes her way over to a side console and begins to access the contents to gain some knowledge as to what is happening::

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
CSO: I don't recommend we take the ship without some serious modifications first. So a probe for now. I might have an idea or two on how allow it to survive and send telemetry, Even if only for a brief moment.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
CSO:  I'm not picking up any unusual power signs at all.  :reverts scans to more general tactical scans::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
*CSO*: Given engineering staff situation, we had overlooked that the auxiliary navigational deflector was still functional. It shut down as an emergency response to the main navigational deflector overloading.

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
CSO: It's better than nothing.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
*CSO*: It's coming online right now.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
::auxiliary navigational deflector hums to life::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS:  Alright, work with engineering.  We will give it one more try.  After that, we let Starfleet know our finding and await new orders.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
*CTO*:  Excellent.  How long before we have it back online?

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
TO:  Nothing... not even the original signal that brought us over here?

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
CSO: Commander, with your permission, I will also look for a way to get the Don Johnson in there as well

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
*CSO*: She is all yours. We are good to go.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
*CSO*: I wouldn't recommend another trip in though.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
CSO:  We don't have a lot of power for scans.  I'll try to focus what we do have.

CNS_Lt_Xaz says:
::She turns her attention away from the console toward the CSO:: CSO: Commander, is there anything I could do to help? ::She pauses for a moment:: CSO: I'm Lieutenant Xaz, your new ship's counselor.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS:  I am not sure it is worth taking the ship in.  However, I will that option open to what you can do with engineering as well as the data from the new probe.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::sits back down at the helm, checks flight system status::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS: I take it no sign of our second probe?

ACTION: As the auxiliary navigational deflector is powered on the crew in Main Engineering begin to initialize the warp core and power levels begin returning to normal.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
*CTO*:  Why?

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: nods at Ki.::

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
CSO: Understood

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CNS:  Welcome aboard.  You came at a rather... interesting moment.

CNS_Lt_Xaz says:
::She nods slightly:: CSO: I can see that...

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::sees that more power is becoming available for running scans::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
*CSO* The auxiliary is just that, auxiliary. It wouldn't be able to handle the strain.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: subconsciously notes the shift in the ships energy::

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
CSO: The distress signal may be coming from an intact ship.

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
TO: Ki, I'm going to do some rerouting so you can scan properly. Hell it's not like medical actually *needs* life support ::wide grin::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
*CTO*:  Understood.  That is my current belief as well.  Ensign Donovan has some ideas he would like to suggest to engineering for possibilities.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
*CSO*: I am on my way up now to the bridge.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::chuckles::  OPS:  That would be much appreciated.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
::gets in TL:: TL: Bridge

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
::gets off on the Bridge::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
FCO: Can you lock onto the area they are talking about?  Is it possible for us to get there?

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Turns to look at Telarus.  Given their current situation, she considers.::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
CSO: Commander, the engineering teams are on task and schedule to get us back up and running at 100 percent. I am going to check on the EVA teams that were injured later, make sure they are ok.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::directs the now enhanced scans toward the source of the signal::

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
CNS: Counselor! Over here for a moment. I have your quarters assigned

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Her eyes shift to Ki.::

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::checks nav. charts::  CSO: With the aux. deflector operational, we can. Impulse speeds only through.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: lifts a brow as she looks back at Telarus::  CTO:  Your engineering team... Do I take that to mean you would like that job?
