USS Scimitar Mission Summary – Stardate: 10203.04

The USS Scimitar has returned to it's regular patrol duty of the sector
around Starbase 51.

They have detected a set of trails, two warp, one impulse, all appearing
to be Romulan in nature.

All trails are approximately 15 hours old.

Trail analysis is as follows:

     Warp trail one, into Federation space. 15+ hours old. Probable
     origin, Romulan heavy cruiser

     Impulse trail, apparent course to Starbase 51, at estimated
     speed there is still some 23 hours until it arrives. This
     trail also has tachyon bursts along it at points where it
     fades and reappears. 15 hours old. Probable origin, possible
     cloaked long range probe or small shuttle

     Warp trail two, out of federation space, back towards the
     Romulan empire along a different course then warp trail one.
     15- hours old. Probable origin, Romulan heavy cruiser

Contact has been made with Star Fleet Command, no know authorization for
entering federation space has been given to the Romulans or any foreign
power.  The Scimitar is currently on red alert and heading towards
Starbase 51 at maximum warp.

Time to intercept origin of impulse signal at that speed if projected
course is correct, approximately 6 seconds, time to Starbase 51 at that
speed, approximately 20 seconds.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::standing behind Mr More, staring at the view screen::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
All: 5 seconds

Host CO_Winters says:
FCO: When we drop out of warp keep us just ahead of the warp trail

Host CO_Winters says:
CSO: Full scans when we drop out of warp

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CO: Understood.
FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
All: Three, two...

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
All: One...

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::looks at the OPS::  OPS: Prepare a tractor beam as well...

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
:::mutters:: self: Why don’t we just blast the probe or whatever to bits?

Host Kevin says:
ACTION: the Scimitar drops from warp in a flash of light into an apparently empty area of space

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::runs a full sensor sweep of the area, overlapping with physical and subspace sensors::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
All: dropped from warp.

Ops_Daniels says:
XO: Aye sir, emitters are coming on line. ::Activates the tractor emitters to full power and preps their targeting sensors::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::continues::  OPS: Good, zoom in on the probe... I want to have a good look at it if possible...

Host CO_Winters says:
CSO: Are you picking anything up from the object?

Ops_Daniels says:
XO: I'm going to need a much more precise set of coordinates for that, sir.

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::nods:: CO: We're getting something nearby, Captain. Portside, aft, 1.24 kilometres. It looks like another tachyon burst but the decay rate sets it only about five seconds. Whatever it is it’s still near here.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::sighs::  CSO: Can you triangulate the probe's trajectory...?

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::paces over to his chair and plops himself in it::

Ops_Daniels says:
XO: I'll try and zero-in the viewer on in it's location from the computers projected trajectory.

Host CO_Winters says:
Ops: Do you think you could get a tractor lock on the object?

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
ALL: The object may be small and cloaked... at these sublight speeds it may be hard for us to locate it.

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::Closes his eyes, trying to contact big sister again::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::nods::  OPS: Make it so, Ensign...

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::frowns:: CSO: Negative, Captain, not with any acceptable accuracy. ::transmits the cone of projection to the viewscreen:: If the prediction algorithm is right, it should next appear in that area.

Ops_Daniels says:
CO: Without a definite sensor lock, sir, we risk pulling it apart in our tractor beam.

Host CO_Winters says:
FCO: ETA to Starbase 51?

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Steps out the bathroom and heads over to his station::

Ops_Daniels says:
XO: Aye, Sir. ::Adjusts the views display to the appropriate coordinates::... on screen.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::turns to the viewscreen::

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::mutters:: self: better than letting it get away

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CO: 23 seconds at Maximum warp, 23 hours and 12 minutes at full impulse

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Does tachyon scans of the region::

Host CO_Winters says:
FCO: At our current speed Mr. More.

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::chimes in:: CO: I must point out again that neither Daniels and I are finding any evidence that this object is using or is even capable of warp drive.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CO: 23 hours, 12 minutes, sir.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::thinks::  CTO: Mr Rogers, what if we fired a wide static burst at the probe's projected trajectory... I assume we would disable it's primary systems with an overload...?

Host CO_Winters says:
CSO: Any life signs?

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
XO: That could work... That is if we hit it.

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::shakes head:: CO: If it's cloaked, there would be no way for me to tell, Captain.

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::can't contact sis, tries to see if he senses anyone on the probe/shuttle, if possible::

Ops_Daniels says:
CO: I don't want to feel out of my place here, sir, but maybe we should just knock? ::looks around the bridge:: Hail them?

Host CO_Winters says:
CSO: Indeed, but cloaking devices are not always reliable.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::looks at the CTO::  CTO: Make the necessary preparations, Mr Rogers...

Host CO_Winters says:
Ops: That is an option, but it is unlikely they would respond. They have gone through this much trouble to stay hidden.

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::just nods at the captain and adds a life sign scan to the current list, figuring it's probably futile::

Host CO_Winters says:
CTO: Do you think you could safely disable this object?

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
XO: Aye...

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
CO: The "safest" thing would to be able to just destroy it.

Ops_Daniels says:
CO: I would remind the captain that a hail is standard proceedure before engaging.

Host CO_Winters says:
CTO: Of course, but we have time, and we don't know what this thing is.

Host CO_Winters says:
Ops: We are not engaging anything yet.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
CO: I'm seeing a small tachyon burst to port... a metallic object in it... It's conducting sensor sweeps..

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::glances at OPS::  OPS: We are aware of that Ensign...

Host CO_Winters says:
CTO: Very Well

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::frowns::  CO: Looks like it knows we're coming...

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
CO: It's moving at full impulse on a steady course.

Host CO_Winters says:
CSO: One thing we haven't considered. Are these objects big enough to have life forms onboard?

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
CO: Confirmed. It's within the expected area.

Host CO_Winters says:
XO: Indeed.

Host CO_Winters says:
Ops: Well, since they know we are here now. Hail them.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::braces himself for the image on the view screen::

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::Sighs, and opens his eyes::

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Starts working with deflector controls to hit it with an EM pulse::

Ops_Daniels says:
::Looks down at his console and bites his lip, hitting the federation standard hail button:: CO: Aye, Sir. Hailing.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::patiently stares at the viewscreen::

Host CO_Winters says:
XO: Your idea on the static burst might just work.

Ops_Daniels says:
CO: The object is not returning our hail, Captain.

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::sees the red light come on:: CO: No life signs, Captain. And so far no evidence that it's hostile.

Host CO_Winters says:
Ops: I thought not.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
CO: It's about to cloak again...

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Aims phasers and attempts to shoot it::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::nods::  CO: Let's hope so...     CTO: Are the adjustments ready...?

Ops_Daniels says:
::looks down at his console, again thinking "Procedure, Sir." but not saying a word::

Host CO_Winters says:
CSO: Well the fact is, this could be Romulan in origin. If they are sending a cloaked object into Federation space with authorization, that is hostile by definition

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CO: Sir, we don0t know what is in that probe. For all we know it could be some repressed people's call for federation assistance within the Romulan Empire, or anything. I suggest that we conduct further scans and determine what it is, before we go happy-go-lucky and shoot it.

Host CO_Winters says:
FCO: That is my plan, I am not going to shoot anything. But I want to uncloak it.

Host Kevin says:
ACTION: just as the scimitars shot lances out through space the object fades from sensors. reappearing in a small ball of flame and debris, the object continues to flicker in and out of sensors, drifting in space

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
All: Got it. Let's get it aboard.

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::frowns:: CO: I think it may be irretrievably damaged. We're not sure what kind of drive system it has, but if it's using a QS Drive we should maintain a distance.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::quickly turns to look at the sensor data on the object::

Host CO_Winters says:
CSO: Life signs?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
Self: Great...  FCO: Mr More.. reduce speed and take us within range of the drifting probe...

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
XO: Aye sir.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
:: takes the scimitar in closer to the probe, slowing it down until they are at station-keeping thrusters::

Host CO_Winters says:
CTO: Can you identify it?

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::shakes his head again:: CO: No life signs, Captain.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
CO: Checking... ::Runs its specs through the database::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::looks at the CO::  CO: We could bring it in, Captain...  then study it closer...

Host CO_Winters says:
XO: Yes, I 'd like to know a little more about it first however.

Host CO_Winters says:
CSO: Anything organic?

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
CO: It's close to a Romulan long range probe that can possibly go at war speed, but not exactly.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::nods::  CO: I agree...

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::looks at the sensor boards:: CO: The intermittent cloaking is making it impossible to tell, Captain.

Host CO_Winters says:
Ops: See if you can link our systems with the probe and disable the cloak

Ops_Daniels says:
CO: I'll try, but I should warn you it may have some protective subroutines which could backfire on us.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
Self: That should be possible....

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
OPS: You never get anywhere by not taking chances.

Host CO_Winters says:
Ops: Just make sure it doesn't. Use an independent computer system

Ops_Daniels says:
CO: I'd like to isolate the Engineering core from the system then.

Host CO_Winters says:
Ops: Something independent of Scimitar.

Host CO_Winters says:
CTO: Can you get a lock on the cloaking device?

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
CO: I can try, but another shot might completely vaporize it.

Host CO_Winters says:
CTO: Well, that would be most undesirable.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Starts scanning it for a cloaking device to lock onto::

Ops_Daniels says:
CO: Ok, I'll proxy our connection off one of the shuttle craft, that should give us a firewall against any form of counterinsurgency. ::establishes the connections:: Attempting standard interface.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
CO: Nope. Can't get a good lock on it.

Ops_Daniels says:
CO: Standard Interfacing protocols failed.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::walks to the CO::  CO: If this turns out to be a unworkable situation to assure it's safety towards the Scimitar we can leave a boey and map it's position, then let StarFleet send specialised recovery vessels to get this probe...

Host CO_Winters says:
FCO: Bring us to a safe distance Mr. More.

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::sees inverse waves appearing over and over on his boards:: Self: Uh-oh...

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
CO: We need to back off as quickly as possible, Captain!

Host CO_Winters says:
CSO: Do you detect any explosives, or anything similar onboard?

Ops_Daniels says:
::Looks at Akileez:: CSO: Uht...? ::looks inquisitive:: ... oh?

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::glances at Daniels then looks at Winters again:: All: The probe's drive system is losing integrity. I don't know if it's just luck or a failsafe but implosion looks imminent.

Host CO_Winters says:
FCO: Mr. More?

Host CO_Winters says:
Ops: Try to beam the computer core aboard.

Ops_Daniels says:
::Scrambles for a targeting lock from the transporters::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CO: As ordered, Sir.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
CO: Considering that it was a probe that was likely sending information to the Romulans... don't you think they might be coming to keep us from getting anything about now?

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::starts running calculations on the spheres of destruction, figuring out the minimum distance the Scimitar has to be away if it does explode as predicted::

Host CO_Winters says:
CTO: Quite possible. Maintain Red Alert.

Ops_Daniels says:
CO: I can't get a definite lock on the computer core yet, readings aren't definite enough, could end up beaming part of the reactor with it. .. I'm about 3 quarters sure I have it but there's a margin for error on it. Should I transport ?

Host CO_Winters says:
Ops: Beam what you think is the computer core into space where you can get a cleaner lock

Ops_Daniels says:
CO: Aye Sir. ::Transports the locked-item to 5000 metres off the starboard bow::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::looks at the FCO::  FCO: Prepare a jump to warp to get us out of here...

Ops_Daniels says:
CO: I've beamed the object to approximately 5 km of the starboard-bow.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
XO: course laid in.

Host CO_Winters says:
Ops: Now beam in just the computer core.

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::shouts a little:: CO: Our margin for error is shrinking, Captain. We need a micro-jump at the minimum to get us out of range.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
FCO: Engage once it's safely aboard...

Ops_Daniels says:
CO: Attempting for the lock.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
XO: Understood.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::gets ready to jump to warp::

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Clears throat:: All: Reckon we should go now?

Ops_Daniels says:
::Scrambles the targeting sensors for the lock, again and begins transport to Cargobay 2 pad surrounded by a high-level forcefield::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
FCO: Engage !

Ops_Daniels says:
CO: I have the core in Cargobay 2, it is stable and secured.

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::watches more waves and inverses interact, shaking the drive's containment field:: CO: Seven seconds until containment fails...

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Latches onto his console and prepares for a ride::

Ops_Daniels says:
CO: I would suggest an engineering and security detail are dispatched immediately.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::engages warp out::

Host Kevin says:
ACTION: As the scimitar jumps top warp the probe's drive fails a brief microsecond of fire expanding then shrinking in on itself as an artificially created wormhole blinks itself out of existence, the gravitational waves grabbing the ship as it jumps to warp, wrenching it into a spin as it goes to warp

Host CO_Winters says:
Ops: Yes.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::holds on::

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Is ripped from his console and hits the deck::

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::feels the ship shift under him like he's not even moving when the floor smacks right into his shoulder::

Host CO_Winters says:
:: gets through into the arm of his chair but stays seated ::

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::falls out of his chair::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::holds onto his console, trying to keep his balance as the ship thrown all around::

Ops_Daniels says:
::falls onto the side of his console, bashing his hip, slumping over in agony::

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::rolls off his side on to his back, groaning::

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::tries pushing himself up::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::curses::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::looks at the bridge crew::  All: Everyone all right...?

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::sees sensors::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
Everyone: Brace for impact! Incoming shockwave!

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
Self: Darn...not again..  ::grabs his console again::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::grabs hold of his console and locks his chair into the floor::

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::climbs back into his chair and holds on::

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Rolls on the floor the other way he was thrown before::

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::feels the floor shift again in his semi-conscious state and slides hard into the pedestal of his console, slamming neck and shoulder first into it before passing out, crumpled::

Ops_Daniels says:
::falls the other way now, cursing in numerous languages as he falls, whacking his forehead one off the console again, getting a nice big gash::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::brings up engineering at his console by clicking the emergency button::

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Pushes himself up and starts floating::

Ops_Daniels says:
::Grabs his console and pulls himself to it::  All: Gravity plating is out in various locations across the ship, life support is shot on a few of the lower decks and all propulsion systems are off line... we're drifting.

Host CO_Winters says:
:: gets up off the floor apparently all right ::

Host CO_Winters says:
All: Report!

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::lets go of the chair and starts floating around::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::feels his feet slowly lift from the ground and holds onto his console, pulling himself back in his chair, accessing the ship’s damage reports::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::locks himself into his station::

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Hits the ceiling with a thud::

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
All: Umm...

Host CO_Winters says:
:: holding himself to his chair ::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CO: Sir, I suggest an immediate evacuation of the lower decks, and an officer should get down to engineering to help co-ordinate things

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::puts his hands out in front to stop him::

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::floating, oblivious::
Ops_Daniels says:
CO: Casualty reports coming in from all over the ship.

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::swims over to the CSO:: CSO: You alright?

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Pushes himself off the ceiling and glides down to his console::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::nods::  CO: I agree with Mr More..

Ops_Daniels says:
CO: Sickbay reports that medical teams are in dispatch but are having trouble accessing some areas of the ship.

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::doesn't get a reply, swims over to where the medkit is stored to revive him::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::runs a mental check of himself as he brings up a systems display on the viewer::

Ops_Daniels says:
CO: There are no reported fatalities but some major-traumas are reported.

Host CO_Winters says:
FCO: Do we have gravity in engineering?

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::puts the vial in the hypo, while trying to hold onto his med kit::

Ops_Daniels says:
::reads a list of reports and looks over at Rogers, then back at his console after a minute or so::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CO: As far as I can tell sir... Yes we do..

Host CO_Winters says:
Ops: Transfer aux. power to gravity plating on the bridge.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CO: However there is no life support. I just ordered an evacuation of engineering...

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::injects the CSO with the hypo::

Ops_Daniels says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::Reroutes power, unsure if it is a power failure or a system failure yet until DCT’s report in::

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::inhales reflexively and then coughs, trying to stand up:: Whisper: What.. happened?

Host CO_Winters says:
Ops: Very well.

Ops_Daniels says:
::takes a deep breath:: CTO: Commander, you may wish to get to sickbay.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
OPS: Why?

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Starts adjusting shield and weapons power::

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
CSO: Let's see we've lost gravity up here.

Ops_Daniels says:
::wipes a bit of warm red blood off his forehead, smearing it a bit:: CTO: You may have a small family emergency, Sickbay is dealing with it but you may wish to be there.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::floats towards the CTO::  CTO: Tactical Status of the Scimitar, Mr Rogers...?

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Looks up at that OPS:: XO: Working on that...

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::grips her arm for a second to steady his drift and reaches painfully for one of the railings, holding her too:: CNS: I told them... ::growls low before coughing:: I told them we had to keep our distance.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CO: I *strongly* suggest we send people to engineering...

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::puts the hypo and tricorder in the medkit, trying to close it up::

Host CO_Winters says:
FCO: If engineering needed us, they would ask. The CEO can handle this own.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
XO: Some rear phasers are offline and the rear torpedo launchers are gone... and I gotta go.

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
CSO: I remember being told that sometimes they miss hearing things getting info from everyone at once.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Puts a TO in charge of tactical and heads to the TL::

Host CO_Winters says:
FCO: Status of the Scimitar motion now?

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::Raises his eyebrow at that, as far as he knew they didn’t have a CEO, but nods and continues regardless::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CO: We're dead in space sir. Propulsion is offline.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Enters the TL:: TL: Sickbay.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CO: Suggest we hail Rampart for assistance.

Host CO_Winters says:
FCO: As long as we are stopped.

Host CO_Winters says:
Ops: Send a request for help to Starbase 51

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::Finally closes the medkit::

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::spits out a stream of emerald blood, watching or a second as it somersaults across the bridge:: CNS: Somehow that's of absolutely no comfort to me.

Ops_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Aye.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Enters sickbay:: CMO: What's going on?

Ops_Ens_Daniels says:
::opens Comm:: COMM: Rampart: Rampart Station, Come-in, Rampart Station. This is the USS Scimitar, we've lost all our engines and are requesting immediate assistance from a tug vessel.
