USS Pandora - Magnum Opus - Stardate 11412.05

The Pandora is headed for the 5th planet of the system after detecting life forms… human life forms.
The three humans in Sickbay are starting to come around.
Let's see what we find out this week.

=/\==/\==/\==/\==/\==/\==/\==/\= Begin Mission =/\==/\==/\==/\==/\==/\==/\==/\=

CO_Capt_Adams :
:: sitting in the Chair on the Bridge ::
FCO_Ens_Banks :
::sitting at the helm monitoring position::
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
:: In turbolift on way to Bridge, still trying to figure out how to figure out what we're dealing with. ::
CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
:: in Sickbay does his best “I'm an awesome security guard” imitation ::
CO_Capt_Adams :
*CTO*: What's the status of our new guests?
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
:: Exits turbolift and moves to Science 1, logging in :: CO: Back from Astrometrics, Captain. So far not getting much in the way of answers.
CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
*CO*: Unconscious.... conscious... a scream that we are human.... and unconscious Sir.
SC_Capt_Marek :
:: standing next to his console ::
FCO_Ens_Banks :
:: stifles a yawn and rechecks his heading ::

ACTION: Proximity alarms start going off.

CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
*CO*: Obviously.... she did not look around much.

CO_Capt_Adams :
CSO: But you've confirmed an asteroid struck one of the planets of this system? That's got to have caused havoc with the surviving planets?
SC_Capt_Marek :
:: thinks “Strange chain of events...” ::
FCO_Ens_Banks :
CO: Sir! Proximity alarms!
TO_Ens_T’rget :
CO: Asteroid on a collision course Sir.
CO_Capt_Adams :
FCO: Full shields. Take us to Yellow Alert!

ACTION: A chunk of asteroid is headed for the ship at 300,000 km/h.

CO_Capt_Adams :
FCO: And get us the heck out of the way - Pronto
FCO_Ens_Banks :
CO: :: hits controls :: Aye, Sir. Shields up, yellow alert.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
CO: Aye Captain. But for now I need to know why. Yes it happens, but to see it happen in a system with an anomaly... one second :: Turns back to sensors to try and detect any signs of graviton waves, subspace distortions, or wormhole signatures in system. ::
SC_Capt_Marek :
TO: How come our LRS scanners did not detect that incoming fragment?
FCO_Ens_Banks :
CO: Sir, we have an asteroid fragment on mark 23 heading inbound. Evasives?
TO_Ens_T’rget :
SC: The direction it came from Sir.... the angle kept it hidden until the last possible moment.
CO_Capt_Adams :
FCO: Absolutely :: in best “Chekov like” imitation ::
MO_Lt_Payne :
:: mumbles and continues to check the patients readings ::
Jade_Senbeck_Karter :
:: begins to come around again ::
FCO_Ens_Banks :
:: enters evasives course and executes :: CO: Steering clear, Sir.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
SC: Just a theory, but this anomaly we detected, it might be drawing objects in. Knocking them off course. That's what I'm trying to figure out.
SC_Capt_Marek :
CSO: Plausible theory.
CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
:: takes a step forward and lurks over the patient ::
CO_Capt_Adams :
TO: Size of the fragment?
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
SC: Just need a way to test it... so far I can't get any reading to confirm what in the pools is going on here.
TO_Ens_T’rget :
CO: Kind of small Sir... about 100 meters.... for an asteroid that is.
CO_Capt_Adams :
FCO: increase z-axis by twice the diameter of that fragment.
FCO_Ens_Banks :
CO: Aye Sir. :: follows orders and executes, setting a spiral away from the asteroid to get there ::
MO_Lt_Payne :
:: moves over to the patient while kicking the CTO in the shin :: CTO: Move back you big OAF!

Jade_Senbeck_Karter :
:: blinks :: MO: Where... where am I?
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
All: Were we able to get anything from the freighter? Logs, sensor readings, even structural effects. Something that might tell us what is happening.
MO_Lt_Payne :
Jade: You are aboard the USS Pandora... I am Doctor Payne.... :: points back to the CTO :: That is Lieutenant D'ghor.... and you are my patient.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
CSO: I did download the entire computer data; I'm sending it to you now Lieutenant.
CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
:: taps combadge ::*CO*: We have a patient that is conscious Sir. I do not know for how long.
CO_Capt_Adams :
CSO: Analyze it as quick as you can and fill us in.
Jade_Senbeck_Karter :
:: sits up quickly and looks around :: MO: The others, are they....... dead?
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
OPS: Many thanks. Maybe figure out what is happening. Maybe the effect only is detectable when it is active. Or when you are inside it.
MO_Lt_Payne :
Jade: Nope... you have one great doctor on your hands.... :: points to the other tables :: They are resting and recovering over there. Now... who are you young lady?
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
:: Opens up the Computer data, looking for navigational data and scanner data first. :: Computer: Locate files from the time three minutes before the ship jumped this way until the present. :: Waits as it comes up. ::
CO: Sir, we have an issue. These files... they indicate the freighter has been here over 50 years. It hasn't been gone that long.
Jade_Senbeck_Karter :
MO: My name is Jade Senbeck-Karter. I am an engineer in our community.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
*Friktak*: Put all sensors you can looking for Chroniton distortion. This looks like a time displacement phenomena.
MO_Lt_Payne :
Jade: Welcome Miss Jade.... you rest a bit more while I check your vitals.

ACTION: Due to the FCO's excellent piloting skills, the asteroid missed the ship. But, it is headed for the freighter.

CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
:: taps combadge again ::*CO*: Ummmm Sir... We have a patient that is conscious Sir. I do not know for how long.
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
CO: Sir, you want to get to Sickbay or I should go?
CO_Capt_Adams :
*CTO*: Acknowledged...... back to you in a sec, Lieutenant
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
Computer: Limit scans to a period from the time it left Federation space minus 10 minutes until the time it arrived in system plus 10 minutes. Let’s see what we can figure out based on that.
CO_Capt_Adams :
FCO: get us as close as you can to the freighter and lock on tractor beam.....
FCO_Ens_Banks :
:: uses a 1-second warp-speed burst and engages tractor beams to try to pull the freighter out of the way ::
SC_Capt_Marek :
XO: I would love to assist you, Commander
CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
:: grunts :: Self: I'll just stand here then.

CO_Capt_Adams :
XO: Please take the Con, I want to check this out myself.
CO_Capt_Adams :
:: gets up and heads to turbolift ::
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
CO: Yes Sir
SC_Capt_Marek :
CO: Wait, Captain, can I go with you?
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
FCO: Careful with Warp. The freighter jumped into the anomaly as it went to Warp it looks like.
CO_Capt_Adams :
SC: Of course.... the XO can keep us and that freighter out of trouble for a bit... :: enters the turbolift ::
FCO_Ens_Banks :
CSO: Acknowledged, Sir. I'm trying... to get the freighter... out of... harm's... way!
SC_Capt_Marek :
CO: :: nods and enters the turbolift ::
CO_Capt_Adams :
Computer: Sickbay

ACTION: The asteroid partially impacted the freighter, taking off the port nacelle.

FCO_Ens_Banks :
ALL: Damn! Partial impact - the freighter is going to lose a nacelle...
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
FCO: I know, just trying to get the needed information out as quick as I can to those who need it.
CO_Capt_Adams :
SC: If there are survivors on what's left of that planet, they're going to need our help. Damage to a star system on this scale really screws up the works....
SC_Capt_Marek :
CO: What a journey so far... we have got involved in political riots, now dealing with a possible temporal anomaly... and all in the period of mere days...
Jade_Senbeck_Karter :
MO: What happened to us? We were trying to go for help and we just..... passed out.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
:: Aims sensors at the asteroid, trying to detect if it has any abnormal Chroniton levels. ::
SC_Capt_Marek :
CO: Indeed. But I think we are only seeing the tip of a much bigger iceberg here.
FCO_Ens_Banks :
XO: Sir, We've got most of the freighter clear of danger. She lost her port nacelle to the impact of the asteroid.
MO_Lt_Payne :
Jade: I have no clue Miss. Our ship just picked you up and I'm treating you... from what I hear the Captain's on his way... he might have a bit more information than I have.
Jade_Senbeck_Karter :
MO: Thank you Doctor. :: looks over at her friends :: Are they really going to be okay?
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
FCO: How is the freighter integrity holding?
CO_Capt_Adams :
SC: But yes, quite a journey in such a short time. And yes, my guess is that iceberg is a lot bigger.
FCO_Ens_Banks :
XO: So far, it's holding, Commander.
SC_Capt_Marek :
CO: Well, we are supposed to be explorers after all.
MO_Lt_Payne :
Jade: Of course... I would not lie about my patient's health. Just a bit more time and all three of you will be just fine.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
*CO*: Captain, the anomaly, it is definitely emitting a high level of Chroniton Radiation, meaning it is likely a time portal. Will work now to see if either end is stable in either space or time.
Jade_Senbeck_Karter :
MO: Thank you... thank you.
CO_Capt_Adams :
SC: That we are... but all this is really keeping you away from your Station Satok... You've hardly been there since we got here...
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
Computer: Keep the section 3 sensor pallet focused on the anomaly’s last known location, monitoring Chroniton levels. If these levels change by more than 10% over a 2 minute period I want to be notified immediately.
CO_Capt_Adams :
*CSO*: Acknowledged Lieutenant. Continue to gather information and keep me informed.
SC_Capt_Marek :
CO: Yes, well, so far, they managed to survive without this old nagging Vulcan... :: smirks ::
FCO_Ens_Banks :
XO: Personally, I think we need to tow it out of here a few thousand kilometers or so.

ACTION: The other two women begin to wake up as well.

CO_Capt_Adams :
:: notes the turbolift has stopped and the doors are opening :: SC: This next conversation should prove interesting.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
XO: Commander, I just warned the Captain, but the anomaly appears to be temporal in nature. Trying to determine now if it is spatial also, and if its ends are static or if they move about.
SC_Capt_Marek :
CO: :: nods and follows the Captain out of the turbolift ::
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
Computer: Also, if sensors can manage it at this distance, see if you can confirm that asteroid's quantum signature is local. Let's eliminate that ASAP.
CO_Capt_Adams :
:: enters Sickbay and nods to the CTO and then to the Doctor ::
MO_Lt_Payne :
:: moves over to the other two patients ::
CO_Capt_Adams :
MO: Report Doctor
CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
:: grunts and nods to the Captain as he and the Marek enter :: CO: Captain may I present Miss Jade Senbeck-Karter and her crew.
Jude_Senbeck_O’Conner :
:: blinks and looks around, panicked :: Jade: Jade!!!
Jade_Senbeck_Karter :
Jude: It's okay, they are human.
MO_Lt_Payne :
CO: Let me finish treating them first then I'll report...... ummmm.... Sir.
Jude_Senbeck_O’Conner :
:: looks relieved ::
SC_Capt_Marek :
:: turns his head towards the shouting patient ::
CO_Capt_Adams :
:: turns to Jude :: Welcome aboard the Pandora Ms. Senbeck
Jude_Senbeck_O’Conner :
CO: Mrs. Senbeck-O'Conner Sir.

CSO_LtJG_Trix :
XO: Something concerns me though. Why aren't we detecting this thing when it's "gone". Even if it's inactive this kind of thing usually leaves a trace, from what I was taught. Does that mean it’s moving?
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
CSO: That would be my first hypothesis
Jade_Senbeck_Karter :
CO: My name is Jade_Senbeck_Karter
Jade_Senbeck_Karter :
CO: Jude is my twin.
CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
:: grunts :: Out Loud: Two for the price of one.
FCO_Ens_Banks :
XO: Sir - you want I should tow us a few thousand meters further out of the "line of fire?"
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
XO: OK, next part of the theory we can kind of test.
SC_Capt_Marek :
CTO: Interesting remarks, Lieutenant
CO_Capt_Adams :
Jude: And welcome to you as well... Who is your other crewmate?
Jade_Senbeck_Karter :
CO: Our other friend is Darma O'Connor-Butcher.
CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
:: shrugs :: SC: I try Sir.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
Computer: Construct planetary system model of our location. Given the planetary debris, and the current orbital velocities of the debris and other planets, can we determine if that debris field has in the past 100 years intersected with the anomaly's location?
Darma_O’Connor_Butcher :
:: looks around at all the people :: CO: As Jade said, my name is Darma O'Connor-Butcher. I am the current vice regent of our community.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
SC: It will be more interesting if I can find a way to test it, Sir. Working on that now.
CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
:: wonders if he should bow to the regent and shrugs ::
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
FCO: Keep us out of harm, and push the freighter to safety too.
CO_Capt_Adams :
:: nods :: Stenbecks: and I am Captain Adams, commander of this ship. This is Captain Marek, and that brute over there is our Tactics and Security Officer - Lieutenant D'ghor... but don't worry about him, he growls and grunts a lot, but give him a belly-rub and a glass of blood wine and he becomes a puppy.
SC_Capt_Marek :
:: tries to avoid smiling... after all he is a Vulcan for crying it out loud ::
Darma_O’Connor_Butcher :
:: slowly smiles :: CO: Then you are from the Federation.
FCO_Ens_Banks :
XO: Yes, Sir, on it. :: moves toward Galactic North about 1000 kilometers to keep both ships out of what appears to be the path of incoming debris ::
CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
:: frowns :: CO: All true.... except for the puppy part.... more like a wolf cub.
FCO_Ens_Banks :
:: resets proximity alarms and doubles the range ::
CO_Capt_Adams :
Darma: Yes, we are. We are out here along with our sister ships, exploring sectors of space closer to the galactic core than the Federation borders.
Darma_O’Connor_Butcher :
CO: We've waited a long time Captain.
CO_Capt_Adams :
Darma: And I might ask you - how did you folks get so far away from home? And... How did you get here?
Darma_O’Connor_Butcher :
CO: That is a long story Captain.
SC_Capt_Marek :
All: I think we have the time to hear that story, am I right, Captain?
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
All: OK, the destroyed planet does not appear to have crossed path with the anomaly. Doesn't mean it's not responsible, however. It could have drawn through an object large enough to disintegrate the planet. It would be a one in a million shot, but possible. Especially over time.
Darma_O’Connor_Butcher :
CO: What you see before you is the 3rd generation of humans from Moab IV.
CO_Capt_Adams :
Darma: It appears we have a wee bit of time..... But, first, let's get you checked out with the Doc here. Then, get you to some quarters to freshen up. After that, we will meet and your story can be told. But, I am concerned about the other humans on that planet and the havoc they may be enduring.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
Computer: Reconfigure all sensor pallets to search for temporal signals. Have all except Pallet 3 scan out in arcs coming from center of saucer. I want to know how many pockets of raised Chronitons are in the area.
Darma_O’Connor_Butcher :
CO: As you should Captain. We have lost many lives in the last 15 years.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
All: This may take a bit, but I am trying to see just how many objects may have passed through the anomaly recently enough to have Chroniton signatures.
CO_Capt_Adams :
CTO: After the Doc is finished here, please escort our guests to some quarters, Find an appropriate yeoman for them, and when they're ready, bring them up to the Briefing Room
CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
CO: Do I get a yeoman for a belly rub, Sir?
Darma_O’Connor_Butcher :
CO: Thank you Captain.
CO_Capt_Adams :
SC: Captain, if you would like to help the ladies... I'll return to the Bridge.
SC_Capt_Marek :
CO: Aye, Sir.
CO_Capt_Adams :
:: ignores the randy Klingon and exits Sickbay, then boards an awaiting turbolift ::
CO_Capt_Adams :
Computer: Bridge
SC_Capt_Marek :
CTO: Sometimes.... never mind, Lieutenant, carry on... :: smirks ::
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
All: This is interesting. The asteroid that struck the 2nd planet, it wasn't pulled through, it was pulled in what appears to be a gravitational pull. Or something similar. Then this thing has mass, or EM pull or something similar.
CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
SC: I shall do my best Sir.... even if I don't get a belly rub.
Darma_O’Connor_Butcher :
MO: Sir, as soon as possible, I would really like to get cleaned up. :: smiles ::
CO_Capt_Adams :
:: returns to the Bridge and exits the turbolift :: XO: An update if you would please.
MO_Lt_Payne :
All: Well.... y'all seem to be all better now... if you feel any wrong in the future just come on down.... they don't let me out much unless someone gets hurt. Have a great day ladies. :: smiles ::

XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
CO: The ship and the freighter are out of the most dangerous path as far as we can tell
SC_Capt_Marek :
CTO: The Captain has ordered us to... :: whispers :: babysit... our guess so as soon as the MO gives clearance... we shall do it.
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
CO: The anomaly is coming up and then going away, too early to get a pattern for now
Darma_O’Connor_Butcher :
MO: Thank you. :: looks at the CTO and SC :: SC/CTO: Sirs, if you would be so kind.
CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
:: steps forward :: Darma/Jude/Jade: This way please. :: points to the Sickbay door ::
SC_Capt_Marek :
Darma: After you... :: motions Darma out of Sickbay ::
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
:: Redirects main sensor dish towards the anomaly's location to do a graviton/ EM scan to see if there is a persistent mass or EM field when the anomaly isn't there. ::
Darma_O’Connor_Butcher :
SC: Thank you. CTO: Proceed.
FCO_Ens_Banks :
:: anticipates several outcomes to events and programs courses for all of them and waits ::
CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
:: moves ahead and points to quarters a few doors down :: All: We have quarters on this deck next to Sickbay just in case.
CO_Capt_Adams :
FCO: How quick can you get us to that inhabited planet with the freighter in tow?
FCO_Ens_Banks :
CO: About 20 minutes give or take because of the additional mass, Sir.
Darma_O’Connor_Butcher :
SC: Thank you. :: motions Jade and Jude to enter ::
CO_Capt_Adams :
OPS: See if you can pick up any signals from the inhabitants.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
CO: Aye Sir, I've been monit..... just a moment.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
All: Elevated Chroniton levels within 300,000 kilometers of the anomaly's last known location, but nothing outside of that. If other objects were brought through the Chronitons would likely have dissipated fairly quickly I suppose.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
CO: We are getting a transmission Sir. They are asking if the people on the freighter are alright.
CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
:: stands outside in the corridor and becomes an alert, serious guard once again ::
CO_Capt_Adams :
CSO: Did you find any more life signs on that freighter?
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
All: I have an idea on how to test if the thing is stable or not, but I don't know if it will work. What if we link a pair of probes with an interface cable and send one through? As long as the link remains, the thing is stable. If it is cut, then the anomaly left the probe behind?
SC_Capt_Marek :
CTO: Very well, I will be on the Bridge... :: nods and heads to the nearest turbolift ::
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
CO: No Sir, just the three that were recovered.
CO_Capt_Adams :
OPS: Tell them we recovered three lost souls and they appear to be in good shape.
CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
:: nods to Captain Marek ::
CO_Capt_Adams :
CSO: Any way of knowing if there were more?
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
CO: Aye Sir. :: taps at her console and listens :: Ummm, Sir, they are asking to talk to you.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
CO: We could send a team over. Or we could ask the ones we brought aboard.
CO_Capt_Adams :
OPS: Me? Specifically?
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
CO: But from sensors, not detecting any organic material. Unless it's near one of the power generation sources or otherwise shielded.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
CO: Well, they are asking for the Captain.
TO_Ens_T’rget :
CO: The life support on the freighter is gone Sir. So I do not recommend it.
CO_Capt_Adams :
:: sigh of relief :: OPS: Bring them up on the screen Lieutenant....
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
CO: Audio only Sir.
