The USS Pandora is ready to depart New Frontier Station to locate the power signatures that may have something to do with a classified need-to-know mission about an apparent aggressor species called the th'Alcair.

We join our crew as they prepare to launch.

CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
::On Bridge, attempting to coordinate sensor pallet setup.:: PO Clark: Yes, I want 1 and 36 set for the multi modal, 4 and 32 for passive high resolution, and 8 and 28 for a metaphasic sweep. Redundancy is planned. Once it's set get your ears on the multi-modal.
Host SCD_LtCmdr_Walker says:
::in his quarters napping::
CEO_Lt_Jankara says:
::in Engineering, double checking her departure list::
DO_Ens_Williams says:
::Standing on the Bridge, watching patiently, still trying to change the way her mind thinks from medical to diplomacy.::
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
@::with the Station Commander on the shuttle approaching the USS Pandora from the New Frontier docking bay::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
@::with Captain Adams heading to the USS Pandora Bridge::
CTO_Lt_ Sergon says:
::on the Bridge receiving last reports from security staff with the all clear throughout the ship::
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: at her station setting the coordinates that Lt. Trix sent her earlier ::
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
CTO: Lieutenant, I have teams preparing the sensor pallets for specialized scans. Planning a multi modal for comm signals, passive high res for any objects and a metaphasic sweep in case they are using a primitive cloak. You have anything else you think we'll need to run?
XO_Cmd_Gaeb says:
:: On the Bridge, looking over the preparations to depart the station::
CTO_Lt_ Sergon says:
CSO: Perhaps a adding for short range radio wave bust transmission, to add to the primitive technology they may have.
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
XO: Sir, we're ready for departure as soon as the Captain arrives.
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
@SC: Captain, I know you've barely stepped onto your new station, but you know you are welcome to join us to find out what this signal is.
CMO_Lt_Marisol says:
::restocking supplies::
XO_Cmd_Gaeb says:
*CO*: Captain, the ship is ready to depart
CEO_Lt_Jankara says:
Engineering: Okay, folks, it's about that time. Everybody to their stations please. If you don't know what your station is, you shouldn't be here.
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
CTO: Multi modal should cover most of that. Once we get closer I'll dedicate a bit more to that tech.
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
@*XO*: Acknowledged. I want to leave the moment we get aboard.
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
*CEO*: Engineering, Bridge here. Are we ready for departure?
CTO_Lt_ Sergon says:
CSO: that should suffice. If anything else comes to mind I will notify you at once
CTO_Lt_ Sergon says:
XO: Security reports the Pandora is secure and ready to depart.
Host SCD_LtCmdr_Walker says:
ACTION: THE CO AND SC ARRIVE ON THE PANDORA VIA SHUTTLECRAFT.
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
::as soon as the docking connection is complete, quickly exits the shuttle and heads to the Bridge::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO: I appreciate your offering.
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
DO: Ensign, I'm going to have results of any scans picking up anything resembling communications linked to your console as well.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::nods and follows the CO to the Bridge::
CEO_Lt_Jankara says:
*FCO*: Ready and waiting, Lieutenant, controls are all yours.
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
::seemingly within seconds, arrives on the Bridge with the Station Commander::
DO_Ens_Williams says:
CSO: Thank you...Do you have anything so far or is it just the basic signal pattern we're receiving?
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
*CEO*: Thank you engineering, Stand by.
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
DO: It's just a...a basic signal that Starfleet's encountered previously.
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
DO: But so far nothing in the way of communication with it. Hopefully that changes very soon.
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
::Strides to the Captain's Chair::
DO_Ens_Williams says:
All: Captain on the Bridge.
DO_Ens_Williams says:
::Nods her understanding:: CSO: Okay, thank you.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::takes a seat on secondary tactical station::
CTO_Lt_ Sergon says:
::sees the Captain enter:: CO: Maintaining yellow alert status Captain.
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
XO: Commander, we ready to depart?
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
CO: Signal is similar to that encountered by Scorpius on 10304.19, currently about 5.2 light years out.
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
CSO: Explain?
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
CO: The signal... it matches the classified object we discussed on the trip in.
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: receives final confirmation from station operations for departure when ready ::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::hears the CSO and thinks:: Self:: That's not certainly good news..
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
::remembers the XO told him they were ready while he was shuttling over:: FCO: Disengage the last of the connections, moorings, umbilicals and take us out on thrusters and then at one quarter impulse.
CEO_Lt_Jankara says:
::reads her display carefully, making sure everything reads the way it should::
XO_Cmd_Gaeb says:
CO: Ready for your signal sir
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
CO: Aye Captain, disengaging moorings.... on full ship power, Station has cleared us. Thrusters, ten one quarter impulse ahead..... Engaged.
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
CO: Appears as a sensor ghost, but the first time it was encountered it maintained its sensor reading for a few hours. This time it's the same readings coming through. Either a similar ship or a wild coincidence.
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
CSO: Thank you Lieutenant. Let me know as you get a clearer picture
CTO_Lt_ Sergon says:
::once the ship is disconnected with the station, he sends a signal ship wide for yellow alert status, and brings up full tactical sensors::
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
CO: Aye Captain. Setting up a few scans that may help, and a few more true long shots.
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
CTO: Belay going to alert for the moment Lieutenant. Heightened alert will do for now. But, should things develop in a bad way, please, by all means, take us to Yellow or Red as necessary.
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: watches the viewer as the ship begins to move out ::
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
CO: Clearing station doors.
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
FCO: Soon as we're clear, take us to warp five, directly at that signal
DO_Ens_Williams says:
::Crosses her arms and watches as we depart::
CMO_Lt_Marisol says:
::finishes restocking the medical cabinets and goes into her office to do reports::
CEO_Lt_Jankara says:
::imagines hearing the hull scrap against the station doors as they depart::
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
CO: Aye sir, warp five.
CTO_Lt_Sergon says:
::monitoring our progress as we move through the station::
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: double checks the coordinates she inputted earlier and taps the warp controls as they are a safe distance from the station now ::
DO_Ens_Williams says:
::Looks over the data on her console, studying it.::
CTO_Lt_Sergon says:
CO: Yes sir. Sorry for the overreaction.
TO_ENS_Sampson says:
::Enters the Bridge:: CTO: Ensign Sampson reporting sir.
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
*Astrometrics*: No, this is not a good time to run a calibration check past level 3. We need all scanners ready within the hour.
CTO_Lt_Sergon says:
CSO: DO we have any specifications of our enemy vessels at all that would help in scanning for them?
CEO_Lt_Jankara says:
::leaves engineering to Ensign Michaels and heads toward the Bridge::
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
CTO: No worries. With this being our first real mission, I trust everyone is just a bit anxious. Just remember to breath every once in a while
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO/CTO: If you agree, I will run a diagnostic routine on all the ship's weapons... just to be sure.
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
CSO: Lieutenant, is there any change in direction for that signal or are those numbers you sent me before still on target?
CTO_Lt_Sergon says:
TO: Mr. Sampson, I want a full security sweep of the Pandora. We need to keep all security at a heighten alert. Making a full sweep will keep them that way.
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
::whispers to the XO:: XO: The new DO is sure studying something. Mind looking over her shoulder for me?
TO_ENS_Sampson says:
::Takes the TAC 2 Station and begins focusing tactical sensors on the signal in question::
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
CSO: Any sort of an ETA to that signal yet?
CTO_Lt_Sergon says:
SC: now is the time to do it, while we are still within the Station’s area.
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
CTO: Not much I can help you with there. Just recall, if it's the same threat, avoid the front.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: I'm on it. ::begins tapping on his console::
XO_Cmd_Gaeb says:
CO: Spying Captain? You don't trust your DO?
XO_Cmd_Gaeb says:
:: whispering back ::
CTO_Lt_Sergon says:
CSO: I was there also the last time. I will recall the readings and watch for it again.
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
FCO/ CO: So far it's not altering location, 5.2 light years out. At warp 5, ETA is close to nine days.
CEO_Lt_Jankara says:
::steps into the lift and takes a deep breath before ordering it to the Bridge::
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
XO: ::whispering:: She's new. Figure better you than me?
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: smiles at Trix :: CSO: Understood.
CMO_Lt_Marisol says:
::shakes her head at the jumble that some of her staff made of their reports and begins working on sorting things out::
DO_Ens_Williams says:
::Keeps scrolling down, quickly reading all the text.::
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
FCO: Take us to warp 7
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
CO: Warp seven aye, Captain.
CEO_Lt_Jankara says:
::blows out her breath then steps onto the Bridge::
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
CSO: We're going to be a couple days before getting close. Keep a close eye and let me know if things change.
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: sees the CEO arrive on the Bridge :: CEO: A moment please. :: motions her over ::
XO_Cmd_Gaeb says:
:: whispering :: CO: No problem captain.
CEO_Lt_Jankara says:
::steps down to flight:: FCO: Problem?
TO_ENS_Sampson says:
CTO: Signal is holding steady, but sensors still unable to get anything definite on it.
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
::sees the CEO arrive, hears the FCO's request, waits next in line::
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
CO: Aye sir. Given previous encounters, I'd like to suggest attempting to hail them. Maybe give them a chance to work their version of the Universal Translator? Or we could use Ch'Tan in the hails. It's a risk, but may be worth it.
XO_Cmd_Gaeb says:
:: walks over to the DO ::
DO_Ens_Williams says:
::Without looking up from the screen:: XO: Can I do something for you, sir?
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
CEO: Not yet, but I'd appreciate you keeping an eye on the warp systems, :: whispers :: The Captain seems to be in a hurry and well...just keep an eye on things will you?
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
CSO: Understood, but I don't think we want to warn them too early of our arrival..... Balanced tradeoff for the moment.
XO_Cmd_Gaeb says:
DO: You found something useful ensign?
CTO_Lt_Sergon says:
TO: We are too far out at the moment. Our main concern till we can determine what it is, is the immediate area. If this is a trap, it will be up to us to detect it and warn against an attack.  A full sensor sweep all around with SRS and LRS at all times.
CMO_Lt_Marisol says:
::gets the reports sorted, filed and submitted and decides to go for a walk::
CMO_Lt_Marisol says:
MO: Yeu, I’m going for a walk, if anything comes up give me a call.
TO_ENS_Sampson says:
CO: It could be entirely possible that they already know we're coming and they're drawing us in... sir.
CEO_Lt_Jankara says:
FCO: Absolutely. ::smiles:: My best man is downstairs and I'm up here to make sure everything is communicating properly.
DO_Ens_Williams says:
::Shakes her head and looks up at him.:: XO: No... just reviewing all the classified info. It would probably be a bad thing to go into this with no information. You agree?
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
CO: Aye sir, but realistically, if we can see them, it's a safe bet then can see us.
TO_ENS_Sampson says:
CTO: Aye sir, full sensor sweeps of the entire area.
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
CEO: Welcome to the Bridge Lieutenant. Congratulations on your promotion. Wish we had time to celebrate it. No rest for the wicked, eh?
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
CEO: Thank you. Nice to be working with you.
CEO_Lt_Jankara says:
::pats the FCO's shoulder and looks up to the Captain:: CO: I had enough rest in the past, Sir, although I'll never admit to being wicked.
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
CEO: Anything I should know about?
CEO_Lt_Jankara says:
CO: Not at the moment, Sir, everything is above expectations in Engineering. I just came up to make sure the link between here and there is up to the same standards.
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: returns to her screen and monitors their course ::
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
*Tech Clien*: Once you have your pallet set up I'm going to want to keep a pair of Class 9 probes in the sensor pod launch tubes. Standard sensor output, ready to launch on command.
CMO_Lt_Marisol says:
::walks down the corridor thinking about what she would like to do after shift::
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
::thinks to self - Self, this is going to be a couple days before much happens, maybe a good time to set example to crew and get physical done?::
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
XO: Commander, I've something I need to take care of. You have the Bridge. Let me know if all hell breaks loose.
CEO_Lt_Jankara says:
CO: Anything else, Captain?
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
*CMO*: Doctor, do you have time to meet me in Sick Bay?
XO_Cmd_Gaeb says:
CO: Yes sir
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
CEO: No, just make sure my engines are tuned, my replicator works right, and my plumbing doesn't overflow.
XO_Cmd_Gaeb says:
DO: Careful with classified info on open space like the Bridge, not everyone is cleared to see that
DO_Ens_Williams says:
::Smiles and hits one button and a subspace message to her sister pops up:: XO: Got it covered.
CEO_Lt_Jankara says:
CO: Understood. ::grins and heads to the Engineering console::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::finishes his diagnostics on the weapons systems::
CEO_Lt_Jankara says:
::logs into the console and begins checking systems from "upstairs"::
CMO_Lt_Marisol says:
*CO*: Yes, Captain, I'll meet you there.
CMO_Lt_Marisol says:
::returns to sickbay::
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
*CMO*: On my way then. :: heads towards the turbolift::
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
::enters the lift:: TLC: Sick Bay
CMO_Lt_Marisol says:
::enters sickbay:: 
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
::Focuses Sensor Pallet on the system in question and runs a graviton scan, looking for unnatural concentrations of gravitons and signs of anti-gravitons.::
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: changes screen view slightly to observe any anomalies ::
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
*CSO*: Lieutenant, you and the Station Commander might want to wander up to the Sensor Pod and see if you can glean some more Intel?
CEO_Lt_Jankara says:
::runs a quick communication test between the console and the engines::
CTO_Lt_Sergon says:
::watching over the sensor data as he and Mr. Sampson scan the area around ship, to not be caught by surprise::
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
::arrives near Sick Bay and exits the turbolift::
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
*CO*: Sir? Yes sir, just started a scan through it and can get a hands on check for it's progress.
DO_Ens_Williams says:
::switches back to the info and continues to study, while keeping an eye out for more people watching over her shoulder.::
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
SC: Captain, would you care to join me in a quick check of systems in the sensor pod?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CSO: I would gladly. ::Stands up and tugs his uniform::
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: sits back and rests her hands on the edge of the console ::
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
::arrives to Sick Bay and enters:: CMO: Well Doc, time for that physical?
