FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::sits at the conn and sets a course, warp 5, for the Badlands, after having completed all necessary checks and after getting permission to launch:: All: Welcome to Scimitar Star Travels. Please sit back and enjoy the ride to the Badlands, where the weather is bad. ::engages at warp 5 as ordered:: All: If you any complaints, you can file these at your department head. Furthermore have a safe and joyful journey.
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
::heading to the COs ready Room::

::frowns at the FCO and wonders what he has done on the star base.::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::on the bridge, reviewing the results from the last calibration of the tactical sensors and readiness reports from his department::  Self: We got to do better then this....  ::sighs and scrolls down on his PADD::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
*CEO*: Go ahead Chief. ::gets up and heads to the ready room:: XO: You have the bridge.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
XO: It's quite unnecessary to say, we're on our way, Sir.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Seeing the last test results coming in from LRS and SRS he turns to the XO:: XO: Scanners are ready sir. ::He turns back to his console and concentrates on some paperwork that needs to be done::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
::arrives at the bridge::
EO Ens Spanner says:
::  monitors the warp core from a console in main engineering ::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::nods:: FCO: I figured as much Lieutenant. ::Smiles slightly.::
CEO Lt Rome says:
*CO*: Captain, I already started going over the modifications the star base engineers did...and of course I found a malfunctioning injector assembly. For now I've rerouted the flow, but repairs should be done in 5 minutes. Please don't strain the engines too much.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::enters his ready room and sits behind his desk:: *CEO*: You think we can manage warp 5?
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
CSO: Good Commander, keep them ready for when needed. I wouldn't like to see any surprises this trip.
Lenny says:
:: in sickbay, making sure everything is in place ::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
XO: No problem sir, once we cleared the system I’ll initiate a full scan
CEO Lt Rome says:
*CO*: No problem sir, I suggest keeping us below warp 8 and we're fine until I finish. I will report when done.
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
::chimes the COs door::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
*CEO*: Not a problem... we'll keep it to warp 5 for now chief. ::looks to the door:: Door: Enter.
CEO Lt Rome says:
::wipes sweat from his face again:: All: Is it supposed to be this hot in here!
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
CSO: Right, if you see anything interesting, be sure to let us know. ::Grins and taps his COM badge.:: *CEO*: Chief, what's the status down there?
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::having read the necessary reports he begins configuring the tactical systems for battle simulations::  *Johnson*: Jarot to Johnson, Lieutenant.... please report to the bridge... I want you at tactical 2 during this part of the mission to make sure we have everything in working order up here...
EO Ens Spanner says:
:: looks up and smiles :: CEO:  You’re probably just having a hot flash Sir.
CEO Lt Rome says:
::stops the torch as the damaged component comes lose:: *XO*: Commander, I'm in the process of fixing a damaged injector assembly.
CEO Lt Rome says:
::looks down smiling:: EO: Check the coolant levels, just to be sure.
EO Ens Spanner says:
:: chuckles :: CEO:  Aye Sir.
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
::walks into the COs RR:: CO: Sir, you asked to see me
TO Johnson says:
::walking through deck 12 he hears the comm. and nods as he taps his COM badge::  *CTO*: Aye, Sir... I will be up in a minute...  ::turns to his team-mate::  Richards: Head back to the security office, Ensign... when the next shift comes in be sure to brief them on what is going on...  ::nods at him and heads towards the nearest TL::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Gets a puzzled look on his face.:: *CEO*: Anything we should worry about?
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CIV: That I did... Take a seat.
CEO Lt Rome says:
*XO*: Oh not at all sir, I'm almost finished. It's just a magnetic lock that malfunctioned. Should be finished in a minute or so.
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
::sits::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
CO: Thank you Sir
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::while piloting the ship he accesses the ship's database on music files::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CIV: I understand from Captain Bolitho that you're a former CTO is that right?
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
*CEO*: Thankfully. Abmeraz out. ::Looks over the bridge one more time.:: CTO: Commander, how's tactical?
CEO Lt Rome says:
::brings the new injector up and starts putting it in place::
EO Ens Spanner says:
CEO:  Coolant levels are well within normal specs Sir.
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
CO: Yes Sir, I was CTO aboard Seleya before becoming XO. I also spent some time with the Starfleet Marines before I was lost in action. Why do you ask Sir?
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
*Johnson*: Understood... Jarot out.  ::turns to the XO and nods::  XO: Tactical is ready to go, Sir...  we're performing the last checks to filter out some small inconsistencies.
CEO Lt Rome says:
EO: Alright, thank you...also the injector is in place and hooked up. Do a quick flow test.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CIV: Well... given the nature of our destination I'd like to have someone competent in charge of the fighter wing as CAG, you think you'd be interested?
OPS Lt Niles says:
::at the OPS console checking ship's systems::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::The most important paperwork is now done and he checks up on some of the research going on in Science lab 1::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::realises something:: *XO*: Are we there yet?
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::nods at the CTO and feels quite satisfied so far.:: FCO: Lieutenant, what's our ETA?
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::checks flight logs:: XO: 35 minutes Sir.
EO Ens Spanner says:
CEO:  Aye Sir.  Testing flow.
TO Johnson says:
::exits the TL and heads for tactical 2, relieving the Ensign on duty and sending him back to the security office redeployment::  CTO: Sir, I'm currently logging on... any items you'd like me to look at immediately?
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::nods at the FCO:: *CO*: Not yet sir.
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
CO: Sir, I'd be delighted Sir. I have undertaken significant training in CAG operations, but I've never commanded a wing in combat
CEO Lt Rome says:
::puts the tools away and wipes the sweat from his face:: Self: I must be coming down with something..
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CIV: Well now could be a good chance if you're willing to take it.
OPS Lt Niles says:
::notices all systems are within established parameters::
Janitor_K`lean says:
::On deck 18, cleaning the environmental control room::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
CO: More than willing Sir. When do I start?
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::glances at Johnson::  Johnson: Excellent... I'd like you to take a look at the fluctuations in the phaser output analysis.. probably some minor calibrations that need to be made for a complete green status...
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Initiating a short range and long range scan::
CEO Lt Rome says:
::takes the small lift down to the lower level::
Janitor_K`lean says:
::Bends down as he sees something shiny on the floor::
OPS Lt Niles says:
::gets a final report on all medical supplies::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CIV: Straight away... make your way up to the TIC and make yourself known to your staff... then you're to get straight to work, I want launch drills run and squadron one put on alert status.
CEO Lt Rome says:
::walks over to Karri:: EO: Results in ?
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Waits for the CO to reply.::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
CO: Aye Sir, thank you for the opportunity. I was beginning to feel like  spare part around here
OPS Lt Niles says:
XO: Sir, I've got a final report of the medical supplies, everything is on board and checked.
EO Ens Spanner says:
:: turns as the CEO approaches :: CEO:  Flow test is positive.
Janitor_K`lean says:
::On closer inspection he sees it's a crown cork. he gets up again and continues sweeping::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::nods as he shuffles some PADDs on his desk then looks up at Esjam with a smile:: CIV: You still here?
CEO Lt Rome says:
EO: Wonderful.
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
OPS: Well, that's good to know, though a little late, wouldn't you agree? We're well on our way and wouldn't be able to just turn around and go fetch some more. But that you anyway.
CEO Lt Rome says:
::taps his badge::*FCO*: Rome to Lieutenant Gnav.
Lenny says:
*XO* I've just sent the medical supply report to OPS.  You should have it now Sir.
OPS Lt Niles says:
XO: It was checked before, but I thought a double check would be good.
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
CO: No Sir, I've already gone ::smiles, gets up and leaves heading for the main flight deck::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::taps COM badge:: *CEO*: Gnav here, go ahead.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Looking at the sensor readouts he checks to see if something interesting is out there::
TO Johnson says:
::nods at the CTO::  CTO: Will do...  ::opens up a window to run the requested calibrations::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
*Lenny*: Thank you Lenny. I already received the information from OPS as well. Good job... Glad to be back down there?
CEO Lt Rome says:
*FCO*: Lieutenant, be ready for a small hiccup as I switch over to the main injector.
Lenny says:
*XO* Yes I am.  :: smiles :: It's like I never left.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
*CEO*: Aye Sir, inertial dampeners on full to compensate.
Janitor_K`lean says:
::Leaves the environment room and heads for the shield generator room. Not that he knows what it does, but it needs cleaning::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::turns his attention to his own console and begins a calibration sequence to filter out the problems in the torpedo guidance system::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::reshuffles the PADDs, grabs a coffee from the replicator and walks out onto the bridge::
CEO Lt Rome says:
*FCO*: Alright, commencing now. ::nods to Karri to begin::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Looks up as he hears someone coming out of the ready room and nods at the CO, then returns to his scans::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
*Lenny*: Very well... our new CMO could use the help I am sure. ::Turns and nods at the OPS to acknowledge the report.::
OPS Lt Niles says:
::sends confirmation to Lenny for receiving the report::
Lenny says:
*XO* Yes, she is rather busy right now.  As it is, I need to get back to work.  See you later.

ACTION:  A distress signal is picked up.

Janitor_K`lean says:
::Entering the generator room he looks around. Looks like someone already cleaned this. oh well, he cleans it anyways::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::looks over to tactical:: CTO: Commander Jarot... we have a new CAG... don't hesitate to use him if you need support.
OPS Lt Niles says:
::console starts beeping:: XO: Sir, we're receiving a distress signal.
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Turns to face the OPS::: OPS: Visual or audio?
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Hears OPS and starts determining the direction of the signal::
CEO Lt Rome says:
::sees the transfer is complete:: *FCO*: We're now running on the main injector Lieutenant, keep an eye on the levels please and inform me of any irregularities.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
*CEO*: Aye Sir. Gnav out.
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::looks up at the CO and nods::  CO: Aye, Sir... ::thinks for a moment::  and who might that be, Captain?
CEO Lt Rome says:
::feels way too warm and sweaty::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CTO: Commander Esjam is on his way to the TIC now.
CEO Lt Rome says:
EO: Keep an eye on the levels please, I'll be on the Bridge. ::smiles::
OPS Lt Niles says:
XO: It's audio only.
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::nods at the OPS:: CO: Captain, we have a distress call, audio only.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
XO: Determining direction and trying to amplify
CO Capt MacAllister says:
OPS: Let's hear it.
CEO Lt Rome says:
::walks to the TL and enters::
OPS Lt Niles says:
CO: Aye Sir. ::turns on speakers::
CEO Lt Rome says:
TL: Bridge.
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::nods::  CO: Understood... a good choice indeed....
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::watches sensor results on the warp engines::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CTO: I thought so. ::smiles::
Automated Message says:
COM: Scimitar:  This is the Federation colony 51 Geminorum, we are under attack!  Any Federations vessel within range please respond.
CEO Lt Rome says:
::thinks he needs to go to Sickbay when his shift is over, also about time to visit Lenny now that she's back::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
OPS: Double check the source of that signal and check for the embedded signature.
OPS Lt Niles says:
::nods to the CO and runs some scans::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
::arrives at the TIC, begins a full review of the fighter wing::
OPS Lt Niles says:
CO: Everything checks out to be genuine Sir.
CEO Lt Rome says:
::steps out onto the Bridge and walks over to his station and relieves the EO on duty::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
FCO: Contact Starfleet Command and request clearance for maximum warp.
CEO Lt Rome says:
Self: Maximum warp? ::turns to the view screen::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::nods and sends out a priority message to SFC::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::and as quick as SFC is he receives a reply within the minute::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
OPS: Lieutenant, can you determine when this message was sent?
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Checks the status of the signal. Since all checks have been performed he knows all systems are operational::
Janitor_K`lean says:
::Wiping the floor of the shield generator room::
CEO Lt Rome says:
::takes his seat and turns his console's air condition up::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
CO: Sir, we're cleared for maximum warp.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
FCO: Increase speed to the outpost, maximum warp. ::turns to tactical:: CTO: Yellow alert.
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
CO: Aye, Captain...  ::taps his console to initiate yellow conditions throughout the ship and glances at the yellow lighting appearing on the bridge::
CEO Lt Rome says:
XO: Commander, shields are within normal parameters. Weapon systems check out. ::nods to the CTO::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Starts scanning in the direction of the colony to make sure the way there is clear::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::checks the standby status of the weapons array::  Johnson: How are your calibrations coming along ?
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
CEO: Good... keep them up. ::turns to the CTO.:: CTO: anything on sensors on what we can expect out there?
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
::responds to the yellow alert by bringing the alert fighters to 'ready' status::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
CO: Aye Sir, course laid in, warp 9.8. Sir, may I remind you it's on the border of Cardassian space?
CO Capt MacAllister says:
FCO: I'm well aware of that Lieutenant.
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
XO: Checking, Commander...  ::looks at the long range sensor sweep of the targeted area::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
CO: Engaging at warp 9.8.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::presses the engage button::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Looks up:: XO: Who’s is attacking them sir?
OPS Lt Niles says:
XO: This automated message was sent out a few minutes ago, Sir.
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Turns around.:: CSO: Tactical is determining that right now.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::feels the ship speeding up::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
OPS: Thank you lieutenant. ::Looks at the CO for a moment.::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
OPS: See if you can contact the colony.
CEO Lt Rome says:
FCO: Keep an eye on the warp field Lieutenant Gnav.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
CEO: Yes Sir, already on it. The computer will warn me when levels are changing.
CEO Lt Rome says:
::nods to him::
OPS Lt Niles says:
::nods to the CO and tries to hail the colony::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
*Lenny*: Lenny, prepare sickbay for possible incoming casualties. We are responding to a distress call. Condition unknown right now.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Looking back at his scanners he notices it's an area of space that's not very detailed in the databanks:: *SO Finn*: Caerell, we're heading into largely uncharted territory, I want the whole stellar team on standby to map this region
Lenny says:
*XO* Aye Sir.
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::raises an eyebrow at the sensor readings::  XO: Commander, I'm detecting weapon signatures of unknown origin in the Colony's area of space...  looking at the region it could be of Cardassian origin.... but we will know more when we get closer....
CEO Lt Rome says:
*Engineering*: Engineering this is Rome, keep an eye on those new repairs. As you can see we are running at maximum warp, also prepare damage control teams. We might run into trouble.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Looks at the scanners again:: CO: Sir, I have the colony on sensors
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CO: It's agragarian. No known defences. ::Brings up the schematics of the colony::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::continues::  XO: One thing is clear... the colony is of agragarian nature... so no defences installed...  whoever is firing on them, they stand no chance at all.
OPS Lt Niles says:
CO: Sir, I'm picking up weapons signatures at the colony.
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::nods at the CTO.:: CTO: Interesting... keep scanning the area, let us know as soon as you have a clear reading, even if just for a short moment.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CSO: Analyse the weapon signatures and try to find out who they belong to.
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::nods at the XO::  XO: Will do, Sir...  ::glances at Johnson::  Johnson: Keep your eye on those readings as well... two see more then one...  ::smiles faintly::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CO: Aye sir. The manifest show 350 souls at that colony
OPS Lt Niles says:
::still tries to contact the colony::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CSO: Life signs?
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::checks on the levels of the warp engines::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Starts analyzing the weapon signatures while he checks the sensors:: CO: at the moment 300..and decreasing
OPS Lt Niles says:
XO: Sir, no response to any of our hails on all frequencies.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Looks again:: CO: 250 now. Analyzing weapon signatures and comparing to known signatures in our database
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
OPS: Keep trying son, keep trying!
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
CO: Our ETA is 3 minutes.
OPS Lt Niles says:
::nods::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Checks the scanners again:: CO: Sir, it's a slaughter down there.. 126 life signs recorded
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::nods to the FCO::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
OPS: Prepare to set inertial dampeners to full power for sudden decrement of speed as we drop out of warp in 2 minutes.
CEO Lt Rome says:
::walks over to the replicator and quickly orders a tall glass of water::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CSO: I only hope we get there before they have any more casualties.
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::sighs:: CO: I wish we could go just a tad bit faster... just a tad.
OPS Lt Niles says:
::nods and prepares the rerouting of power::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CO: I doubt that sir. I just hope we get there in time to have anyone left
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::nods at the CSO's comment::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
XO: Ask the chief... I'm sure he'd have a few choice words to say on that subject. ::grins::
CEO Lt Rome says:
::drinks the water and his throat doesn't feel as dry, then puts the glass back and walks to his station::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CO: The weapon signatures appear to be Cardassian, although I can't be 100 percent sure
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CSO: Are we close enough to scan the atmosphere in the colony?
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::grunts.:: CEO: Yeah, I know... don't mess with his warp core. ::grins.::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
CO: Dropping out of warp. ::nods to the OPS::
CEO Lt Rome says:
::turns to the XO:: XO: Sorry sir... I can't allow more than maximum warp right now, tweaking the engines with a new injector is not safe right now.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CO: Sir, life signs have decreased to 10
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::as the tactical sensors receive the detailed scan results the weapon signature match is positive::  XO: Commander, sensors have indicated that the weapon signatures are definitely Cardassian... but the weird thing is I can't find a Cardassian vessel of any kind in the vicinity....
OPS Lt Niles says:
::reroutes power to inertial dampeners to compensate for the immediate decrement of speed::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CO: The life signs are very faint sir. It's a class M planet
CO Capt MacAllister says:
OPS: Put the colony on screen.
OPS Lt Niles says:
CO: Aye Sir, on screen. ::puts the colony on screen::
OPS Lt Niles says:
XO: No response yet, Sir.
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
::impressed with the CAG roster Esjam begins a tour of the flight deck::

ACTION:  The colony is completely destroyed...almost no indication that it ever existed.

CO Capt MacAllister says:
CSO: Is there anything hazardous in the air?
OPS Lt Niles says:
::zooms in::
CEO Lt Rome says:
::sits back down and prepares for the worst while his stomach feels like it's burning....must have caught something at the star base and then turns around and takes in the view::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Looks puzzled for a moment.:: OPS: I think we now know why lieutenant... you can stop hailing I suppose.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Runs a concentrated scan of the area to find any traces of a ship. He includes a scan for materials like ions to detect warp signatures and cloaked vessel engine gasses:: CO: Atmosphere appears good sir. No EVA would be needed
OPS Lt Niles says:
XO: Yes, most unfortunately. ::silences::

ACTION:  Interference from the Bad Lands are interfering with the image from the colony.

CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::sighs at the loss of life and shakes his head for a moment::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CO: I must say sir that the Badlands are notorious for masking ships from our scans. We should proceed with caution
CO Capt MacAllister says:
OPS: Clear that up
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CSO: Agreed. ::turns to Tac1:: CTO: What is the status of our fighters?
OPS Lt Niles says:
CO: Right on it sir, the Badlands are interfering, but I can clear it up a little. ::fine-tunes the image::
CEO Lt Rome says:
::feels guilty for not getting them there faster, but knows it's not up to him to place the ship at risk::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::nods at the CSO's comment::  CO: I concur with the CSO on this one, Sir... I recommend that the CAG sends out a few wings to patrol the area to see if anyone is left of the offenders...

ACTION:  The image is still grainy and not very viewable.

OPS Lt Niles says:
CO: That's the best I can get you sir.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Thinks for a moment:: CO: What we could do is send out a full probe complement. That would give us at least some visibility in there. But not very much I’m afraid. 
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
CO: Last report I received was that Commander Esjam was familiarising himself with the flight bay and its personnel... he should be ready to go when we tell me to.... ::smiles faintly::
CEO Lt Rome says:
CSO: I can probably boost your gain a bit, maybe 10 percent at best
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CEO: Every bit helps of course, but I’m not sure if we could call that an effective detection grid
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::puts the ship in a geosynchronous orbit above the colony::
CEO Lt Rome says:
CSO: I'll get you what I can sir. ::starts accessing the sensor array::

ACTION:  Minor malfunctions are happening all over the ship due to the proximity of the Scimitar to the Bad Lands.

CEO Lt Rome says:
CSO: Rerouting power now. ::pulls his hand back as the console short circuits:: Self: Ouch!
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::sends a message to the CEO to compliment him for the good working of the warp engines::
OPS Lt Niles says:
CO: Sir, several decks report malfunctions throughout the ship.
CEO Lt Rome says:
::sees his console flicker for a second::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Looks at the CEO's hand:: CEO: Looks like it's already getting to us. We should minimize power usage and use the planet as a shield against the radiation
CO Capt MacAllister says:
OPS: Cause?
CEO Lt Rome says:
CSO: Please.
OPS Lt Niles says:
CO: None major ones. They are caused by the Badlands. It's the usual interference.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CO: Sir, We could drop a team here with the shuttle, then hide behind the planet to prevent any real damage 
CEO Lt Rome says:
*Engineering*: Engineering, raise a level 5 containment field around the warp core. The short distance to the badlands it already creating power spikes.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CTO: Ok, let's have the shields to full.
OPS Lt Niles says:
::reroutes more power to the deflector array and shields::
CEO Lt Rome says:
CO: Captain, permission to get to Main Engineering.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CEO: Granted.
CEO Lt Rome says:
::nods and heads to the TL::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Tries scanning and actually getting something interesting::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::breaks geosynchronous orbit after hearing the CSO's comment to get behind the planet::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::nods:: CO: Aye, Captain...  ::glances at Johnson::  Johnson: Shields to full, Lieutenant... and keep me apprised of any changes or fluctuations.
TO Johnson says:
CTO: Aye, Sir...  shields to full!  ::brings the shields to 100%::

ACTION:  The 10 faint life signs on the planet decrease to 5.

CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CO: Sir! Life signs decreased to 5!
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CSO: Can you get a lock yet?
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Tries getting a transporter lock:: CO: Very hard with the badlands here sir.. I suggest a shuttle
