<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<RESUME Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CSO_Ens_Sanchez says:
::sat at science console on the bridge of the Scimitar, looking over the sensor pick-ups on the main display::

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
::Walking up and down the command area wondering when the CO will be back::

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
::in the TL on her way to engineering::

CSO_Ens_Sanchez says:
::Glances up at the bridge periodically, blinking a lot to change focus so much::

Host CO_Winters says:
:: enters into Transport Room 1 and looks around for the CTO ::

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
::enters Engineering::

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
::taps his badge::

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
::In the TR prepping the security teams for the away mission::

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
Ens. Spanner:: What is the situation on the matter/antimatter containment field strength?

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
::Gets into an EVA suit::

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
<Ens. Spanner>: CEO: Sir, the matter/antimatter containment field is very slowly loosing containment.  Estimated time to core breach is a little under 5 hours.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
::Checks the oxygen and power levels of the suit::

Host CO_Winters says:
CTO: Almost ready?

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
CO: Yes, sir. Just preparing.

CSO_Ens_Sanchez says:
::Starts a low-band EM Scan of the local area, setting it on automattic for the computer to alert him of anything fun while running a diagnostic on internal sensors on Deck 1::

Host CO_Winters says:
CTO: Very well, continue suiting up. Type II phasers only.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
CO: Aye, sir.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
Ens Spanner: Thank you.  Have you and PO 1st Class Scott double checked the figures for the containment field generators?

Host CO_Winters says:
:: Begins suiting up as well ::

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
::Issues out the proper phasers to the security teams:: CO: We're ready, sir.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
<Ens. Spanner> CEO: Yes sir.  There were no appreciable changes.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
::scratches head and raises and eyebrow::

Host CO_Winters says:
CTO: Very well... Step up.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
CO: Aye sir. ::Motions for the security teams to go onto the pad and steps on as well::

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
::sits down in the CO's chair and calls up a status report::.

Host CO_Winters says:
*AXO* Keep a transporter lock at all times.

Host CO_Winters says:
:: steps up :: All: Phasers put away. This isn't an attack.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
::Taps his badge again:: *CO*: Understood sir. ::nods to the Ops officer that he got the Command:: Oh and sir, Good Luck.

Host CO_Winters says:
Chief: Energize.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
::Holsters his phaser::

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
<Ops_Croft>: ::Enrgigizes transporter::

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
::closes the Com channel and walks over to the Science Station::

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CSO: Marco, what have you got so far?

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
Crewman Corellie:  Take Crewman Mc Allister and Grant and go and manually check the plasma flow regulators.  I don't want anything to explode incase I have to eject the core.

CSO_Ens_Sanchez says:
::Glances over the sensor readings on an anomoly sensors have been tracking, a little half-minded.::

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
<CrewmanCorellie> CEO: Aye sir.

Host CO_Winters says:
:: materializes ::

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CSO: Marco?

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
Self:  Blasted containment fields, what the devil is going on with them?  This ship was just refitted again.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@::Dematerializes and rematerializes on the planet and looks around:: Sec team 1: Scan the area. Sec team 2: Be on your guard. Sec team 1/2: Either way, each of you stay with us.

CSO_Ens_Sanchez says:
AXO: An uhm, an anomoly sensors have been checking, looks to be related to the phenomenon that 'sling-shot' us here, it still seeming to be tracing our course towards the planet.... it should intercept us, again, in about 5 hours.

CSO_Ens_Sanchez says:
::Sighs:: AXO: Other than that, the only interesting things on this board is the elevated EM output from the colony down there.

Host CO_Winters says:
@CTO: This way I suppose.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@CO: Aye. ::Follows the CO, with his hand ready to pull his phaser::

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CSO: Okay... This is your first priority, analyze all of our senoser information regarding the slingshot jump and all data related to it. Cross reference it in the Federation Database, and tell me if anything like this has been known to happen before. Also, Keep me updated on how things are going with that anomaly, and keep the CEO posted on it's ETA.

Host CO_Winters says:
@:: walks up to a control panel  and keys in a few commands :: CTO: No need to knock I am sure.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
::grabs her tricorder and heads for the upper part of the warp core::

Host Kevin says:
<Colony sec>:: watching the AT materialize from behind the security door.::

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@CO: Well, that would be the polite thing to do...

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CSO: Oh, and Marco, It's good to have you back on board.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
::nods at Marco and steps back to the command area, wondering why even two years after the war ended they still had staff problems::

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@::Has a creepy feeling, like someone is watching them::

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
*CEO*: Lieutenant More to Engineiring. What's the status of the warp core Shemara?

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
Self:  What the devil?

Host CO_Winters says:
@ :: looking around notices several security features, including a camera :: CTO: Looks like they were waiting for us.

CSO_Ens_Sanchez says:
::Looks at the readings for a moment then back at More:: AXO: Am I ok to launch probes for a closer look at this anomaly?

Host CO_Winters says:
*Security* Going to let us in?

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
*AXO*:  Sir I am checking the warp core manually.  I can't seem to find anything wrong from runnung diagnostics.  My guess is that we have a mechanical problem.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@CO: That would explain it. Sec teams 1/2: Be prepared for anything.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
*AXO*:  As soon as I have more I will alert you.  Shemara out.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
*CEO*: We are currently analyzing how this could be related to the spatial anomaly, but if need me I'll need about an half an hours notice to inform the captain before we have to dump the core. Let's try and keep that from happening....Bridge out.

Host Kevin says:
@<ColSec> *CO*: depends.. you going to behave?

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
::continuing checking:: *AXO*: Acknowledged sir.

Host CO_Winters says:
*ColSec* Show a little respect, I am a Starfleet Captain.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
Self:  Augusfrat!!  Hm........Wait a second.

Host Kevin says:
@<ColSec>*CO*: yeah, SO? :: turns head, looks back :: *CO*:Keep your weapons holstered... Sir.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@CO: I don't like the sound of this...

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
Ens. T'Chew:  Please reconfigure internal sensors and scann the entire engineering section.  There has got to be a reason for this containment problem.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
::goes to the replicator and grabs himself a cup of soup, and takes The Chair::

Host Kevin says:
@<ColSec>::Opens security door steps aside::

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
<Ens.T'Chew> CEO: Yes sir.

Host CO_Winters says:
@CTO: At ease.

Host CO_Winters says:
@ :: walks into the colony ::

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CSO: If that is your personal opinion of what is needed, it's fine in my opinion.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@CO: Aye...

CSO_Ens_Sanchez says:
AXO: Thank You.

CSO_Ens_Sanchez says:
AXO: Prepping Probes.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CSO: Understood.

Host Kevin says:
@<ColSec>:: watching at, hands on weapons:: CO: This way.

CSO_Ens_Sanchez says:
AXO: I got 2 Class VIII Probes are in the tubes, launching. ::Presses launch button for the probes and vectors them for the anomoly::

Host CO_Winters says:
@ :: following the security guards ::

Host Kevin says:
<<<<<<<<<<Action::: Probes launch without a hitch and two pinpoints of light appear as they jump into warp

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@::Follows the CO::

Host Kevin says:
@<ColSec>:: leads the AT back to the meeting room, taking the long way round, avoiding the north eastern corner of the colony::

CSO_Ens_Sanchez says:
AXO: Probes away and homing on their target, got a steady data stream from them... everything seems AOK

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CSO: Keep me informed.

CSO_Ens_Sanchez says:
::grumbles:: Self: argh...

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
::checking her tricorder readings::

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@CO: It's too quiet, Captain...

Host CO_Winters says:
@*AXO* If you loose the lock on us get it back.

CSO_Ens_Sanchez says:
AXO: Probes are reporting problems in their AMCF's... looks like we could loose them.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CSO: Anything you can do to help?

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
*CO*: Understood, We'll try our best up here sir.

CSO_Ens_Sanchez says:
AXO: I'll see if there's any way to compensate remotely.

CSO_Ens_Sanchez says:
::Leans over to the probe systems analysis and configuration for a look:: *CEO* Lt Shemara, I got 2 class VIII probes out there, experiencing problems with their antimatter containment, I don't want to loose them, got any suggestions how to compensate?

Host Kevin says:
<ACTION::: Two briliant but distant explosions bloom in space, data from the probes stops... they where still 10 minutes from the anomaly at warp speed

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
::sees the screen and sighs::

CSO_Ens_Sanchez says:
::grumbles some more:: AXO: We've lost the probe telemetry, they lost containment, so it appears.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CSO: Get any useful information from it anyway?

Host Kevin says:
@<ColSec>CO: wait in here sir...  the doctor should be with you shortly

Host CO_Winters says:
@Sec: Very good..

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
<Ens. T'Chew>: CEO: Sir I am getting a faint subspace twist around the warp core.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
*CSO*: Ens. Sanchez: I have no recommendations for you at the moment.

CSO_Ens_Sanchez says:
AXO: All I can say is we had better keep away from this anomoly, judging by what it did to the small probes, it could rip this ship apart.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
*CSO*: Our internal sensor scans have revealed a subspace twist around the warp core.  It is faint but none the less it is there.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CSO: Is there anyway we can get away from it, or is it definetly following us?

CSO_Ens_Sanchez says:
::turns arround in his chair:: AXO: I'd say it's following us... it's like we're tethered to it. If I didn't know better... ::Interupted by the CEO::

OPS_Ens_Secturial says:
::on the bridge, monitoring comm traffic::

CSO_Ens_Sanchez says:
*CEO* A 'twist'? Haven't heard about them in a while... could be the answer to a few questions.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
::taps his badge:: *CEO* Anything you can do about it?

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@::Looks around::

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@CO: Sarcasm just flows off of him, doesn't it?

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
*AXO*:  Sir at the moment we are discussing some ideas as to how to reinforce the containment fields so we don't have to dump the core.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
*AXO*:  As soon as I have something, I will let you know.  Shemara out.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
*CEO*: That's all well and good, but how can we get rid of it?

CSO_Ens_Sanchez says:
::Looks up from his console:: AXO: Looking over the scans from the probes, last thing we got is it seems to be caught in it's own subspace pocket. Stops most scans going through, but it does suggest something.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
*AXO*: For the moment sir I have no idea.

Host Kevin says:
@<ColSec>: take up positions around the room... drawing weapons but keeping them pointed down::

Host CO_Winters says:
@CTO: Indeed.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
*CEO*: Understood.

CSO_Ens_Sanchez says:
*CEO* This is just speculation, sir, but I think this 'twist' could be our tether to this anomoly. Sounds reasonable.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
ALL:  Ok people I want answers and I want them fast.  How do we get rid of the subspace twist.

Host Kevin says:
<Eng crew> :: shrug shoulders, look at thier feet, mumble ::

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
::sits back down::

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
*CSO*: Ens. Sanchez:  You could be right Ens.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
::begins a status report for the CO::

OPS_Ens_Secturial says:
::downloads the last period of comm records onto a PADD he grabs from his right pocket and hands to a crewman::

CSO_Ens_Sanchez says:
::Sits back in his chair and spins to look at the command section:: AXO: What if this thing is tethered to our warp core like a Subspace tear is attracted to a starships warp core after an isolittic explosion.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
Ops: DO we still have an active sensor lock on the CO?

CSO_Ens_Sanchez says:
AXO: In theory, the only way to untether ourselves is... ::interrupted by the console:: One Sec... ::leans over to the main sensor console to answer the beeps::

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
*CSO*:  Ens. Sanchez: If this tether is attracted to our warp core, would you agree that shutting it down might be the answer??

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@CO: So...

OPS_Ens_Secturial says:
AXO: One moment, Sir..  ::checks his console's readouts and turns back to the AXO::  that is confirmed, Sir..

Host CO_Winters says:
@CTO: I guess we wait.

OPS_Ens_Secturial says:
AXO: Minor adjustment to that.... chances of a succesfull are 75% at the moment...

CSO_Ens_Sanchez says:
AXO: The elevated power readings from the colony just spiked. I can only localise it asfar as the north-east sector.

Host Kevin says:
@<ColSec3> ::holsters phaser... pulls out crocodile dundee knife and starts running his thumb along the blade::

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
Ops: Do we have a lock on the Away team or not, Lieutenant?

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@CO: This feels like a trap... ::Fingers his phaser::

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
*CSO*: Ens. Sanchez:  Would you suggest we shut down the warp core??

CSO_Ens_Sanchez says:
*CEO* ::Sighs:: It's worth a try, if that doesn't work, ejecting the core would be a good idea at this point. This thing causes havoc with the containment fields it seems, best it be off the ship when they weaken further.

OPS_Ens_Secturial says:
AXO: As I said, Sir... we have a lock...but with the Station's Atmospheric Shields online, I cannot garuantee a successful beamout...

Host CO_Winters says:
CTO: There is something un easy here.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
Ops: Understood.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
*CO*: Lieutenant More to Captain Winters, Sir, I was just informed that although we have a lock, the Operations Officer could only guaentee a 75% chance of a successful transport...

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
*ACO*:  Sir the CSO and I have agreed that ejecting the core might stop the anomalie.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@CO: That's not a good sign..

Host CO_Winters says:
*CTO* You brought pattern enhancers correct?

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
*CEO*: Is it really nessercery?

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@CO: I believe so. ::Looks at the security teams::

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
*AXO*:  I am still working on a way to shield the warp core from the twist.

CSO_Ens_Sanchez says:
::Overhears the AXO:: AXO: remember those little two lights you saw on the viewscreen when we lost the probes?

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@::Gets the pattern enhancers from Ens Bob:: CO: They're right here, sir.

OPS_Ens_Secturial says:
::hears the Captain's comment and wonders if transporter enhancers would work::

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CSO, *CEO*: Yes, I saw them, and I am well aware the Scimitar will make a much bigger bang. But I don't want to drop the core before we have to, or before we have Captain Winters back on board. I suggest you work on an alternate sloution, and if worse somes to worse, we will eject it. But it is a last ditch scenario.

Host CO_Winters says:
@CTO: Have your men put the enhancers on and activate them.

Host CO_Winters says:
@ :: takes an enhancer and puts in on ::
