USS  Seleya    Stardate 9901.17

Host Cheryl says:
The USS Seleya has returned to Cortez Station, and has identified the remains of the destroyed USS Isis.  It is presumed that the experimental weapon on the research station is in some way responsible for the destruction.  An Away Team has been dispatched to the station, and they have found the situation much the same as they found it on 1st visit.

CEO_Davis says:
XO: The last time we were here, there was some solid evidence that whatever sort of device is on the station uses antimatter. I'm scanning the area around the station for any trace of antimatter.

Host Cheryl says:
Action:  The console powers up briefly, and then dies

XO_Pang says:
CEO: Good - whatever destroyed the Isis was pretty powerful

TO-Toran says:

OPS_Blace says:
@EO: We need to boost power.

CEO_Davis says:
CNS: Perhaps, but if that's so, it's going through an awful lot of effort to throw us off.

XO_Pang says:
CO: Not much forrader yet ... we have to wait on the AT report .... I just hope they are being cautious

CEO_Davis says:

S0_M`Toc says:
CO:  Sir, Reporting for duty.

XO_Pang says:
CSO: You have, of course met Ensign M'Toc?

OPS_Blace says:
@EO: Let's take the power from my tricorder and connect it to the console. That should boost power.

S0_M`Toc says:
CSO:  Greetings Sir.

EO_Bolitho says:
@OPS: Sorry we have to find a power source, so we can find out what happened here from the stations logs

Cns_Moore says:

Cns_Moore says:
CEO: Just a little input , tread carefully Davis

XO_Pang says:
OPS:  We are a little beyond transporter range now .... but please keep comms wide open to the AT

CEO_Davis says:

Cns_Moore says:
XO: Very well

XO_Pang says:
@<Starr>::Walks into another room - scanning

CEO_Davis says:

TO-Toran says:
@::Scans and walks toward the life sign::

CEO_Davis says:
XO: There are traces of antimatter around the station, Commander, as well as traces of plasma bursts.  This weapon may have been able to combine both into a single particle stream...

S0_M`Toc says:
::Tries a mechanical scan first::

XO_Pang says:
<Starr>@AT:  I have found someone

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  Scans pick up a significant power surge from the station, localised to the area of the device.

CEO_Davis says:
Self: Whoa, what's this?

Cns_Moore says:
XO: I suggest we send SFC a report with our current information

XO_Pang says:
@<Starr>COM: Seleya :  We have found someone here ..... injured .... but cannot transport to you

CEO_Davis says:
CO, XO: I'm picking up a power surge on the station near the device.  It may be powering up...too hard to tell from here...

XO_Pang says:
::leaves the bridge on her way to the Donaldson's quarters::

Host CO_Peters says:
COM: Starr:  We'll move in and pick you up.  I'll drop the XO off at the same time to take over.

CSO_VIPER says:
SO: Report.

Host CO_Peters says:
CEO:  Keep me updated as soon as you can tell

XO_Pang says:
@<Starr>::Surely Sir ...

CEO_Davis says:
CO: Aye sir.

Host CO_Peters says:
FCO:  Move us into to TR range

S0_M`Toc says:
::cross reference scan with every know biologic::

Cns_Moore says:
CO: I suggest we send SFC a report with our current information

S0_M`Toc says:
CSO:  Nothing yet sir.

CSO_VIPER says:
SO: Keep me posted!

FCOMallor says:
CO:  aye.....  ::proceeds with orders::

CEO_Davis says:
::turns focus of scans towards the object, starting with passive scans first::

Host CO_Peters says:
*XO*:  Sorry Kay Lee, Troi has found a survivor, she's coming back so I need you over there.  get to TR 1 ASAP

XO_Pang says:
::arrives at the Donaldson's quarters ... and starts to feed her child::

S0_M`Toc says:
CSO:  Aye sir.

XO_Pang says:
::curses inaudibly:: *CO* Yes Sir .... but 5 minutes required

Cns_Moore says:
CO: I suggest we send SFC a report with our current information, they have information we don't have maybe they can help us

@OPS_Blace says:
Eolitho: We need a way to power up the terminal.

Host CO_Peters says:
CNS: Make it so.

CEO_Davis says:
::sees nothing unusual other than the power surge that just started, so he switches to active scans::

FCOMallor says:
CO: in range......    now

S0_M`Toc says:
::re-cross reference with mechanical/biological mix::

XO_Pang says:
::hopes that hurried nursing will not harm Emily::

Cns_Moore says:
::sends a message to SFC with a status report requiring further assistance::

CSO_VIPER says:
CO: I can beam over the survivor.

Host CO_Peters says:
Cns:  Can you talk to SF.  See if they can cough up any more info.  If they get funny, then let me know.

Host CO_Peters says:
FCO:  Good

EO_Bolitho says:
@OPS: let me fins a eps conduit maybe I can reroute power

Cns_Moore says:
CO: Yessir

TO-Toran says:
@::walks back to the rest of AT::

CEO_Davis says:
::watches as some detail about the weapon's power source and power transfer conduits appears on the console, but nothing that tells what powers it exactly::

XO_Pang says:
@<Starr>:: Waits for advice that the transport can take place

OPS_Blace says:
@EO_Bolitho: But the station has no power. There's nothing to reroute.

EO_Bolitho says:
@::operating tricorder looking for a eps conduit::

Host CO_Peters says:
*XO*:  Kay Lee, the transfer needs to happen now.  We're in weapons range of the station

XO_Pang says:
::adjusts clothing, hands Emily over to Abigail and scoots::

XO_Pang says:
*CO* On my way!

Host CO_Peters says:
COM: Starr:  Prepare to be beamed to sickbay

EO_Bolitho says:
@OPS: There has to be some residual traces in the conduits, maybe enough to power up a terminal

CSO_VIPER says:
SO_M'Toc:??

S0_M`Toc says:
Computer:  List all cross references of mechanical/biologic mixed devises.

XO_Pang says:
::takes TL:: TR1!

FCOMallor says:
::gets ready for a speedy getaway::

CEO_Davis says:
CO: Whatever is powering this thing is a tangled mess.  The designers may have intentionally made it that way.  I can't accurately scan the power source yet.. there’s so many cables and conduits.

Host CO_Peters says:
*XO*:  Simultaneous transport with Starr on your order Kay Lee.

CEO_Davis says:
::sees a familiar site::

OPS_Blace says:
@EO_Bolitho: Hopefully...WAIT! Let's try and take the power from the weapon.

CSO_VIPER says:
SO: Anything?

XO_Pang says:
::arrives at TR1, grabs phaser, toolkit and medical tricorder and gets to the pad::

S0_M`Toc says:
CSO:  Sorry sir....nothing yet.

XO_Pang says:
*CO*  Ready Sir!

CEO_Davis says:
CO: There's a few EPS conduits here...that's an indication of plasma injection system.

Host CO_Peters says:
*XO*:  Go now Commander

EO_Bolitho says:
@OPS : WOAH I don't want to mess with that thing until we have a clearer understanding of what it is?

Cns_Moore says:
<Survivor> ::barely alive::

XO_Pang says:
::fastens EVA suit just in time::

Host CO_Peters says:
FCO:  Initiate transport

XO_Pang says:
::shimmers::

OPS_Blace says:
@EO_Bolitho: True, but let's just take a look at where it is being powered from.

S0_M`Toc says:
CSO:  I've tried almost every different kinds of biological scans for the weapon.

FCOMallor says:
::checks transport is complete, then turns and goes to warp 0.5::

CSO_VIPER says:
SO: Nothing?

EO_Bolitho says:
@OPS : no messing with the weapon agreed?

CEO_Davis says:
::notices a slight power source; on second glance, he realises it is not a power source, but power being contained in its conduits::

FCOMallor says:
CO: back out of range

Cns_Moore says:
<Survivor> ::grabs Starr's arm and tries to say something::

S0_M`Toc says:
CSO:  Sorry sir....

Host CO_Peters says:
CEO:  Is there anything in the Starfleet records that will help?

XO_Pang says:
@::arrives on the station as the CMO shimmers back to the ship:: COM: Seleya:: Transport complete

CEO_Davis says:
::thinks for a moment::

EO_Bolitho says:
@OPS: we can look I suppose

S0_M`Toc says:
::Turns back to station::

XO_Pang says:
@COM: Seleya: Please transport the survivor

Host CO_Peters says:
FCO:  Take us out of range again

Cns_Moore says:
<Survivor> ::re-materialises in  SB::

Host CO_Peters says:
::Transports survivor to sickbay::

FCOMallor says:
CO: already done

XO_Pang says:
@AT: Well where did we get to .... I am not fully briefed

OPS_Blace says:
@::Smiles:: EO_Bolitho: Okay. I'll check around it on my tricorder.

CEO_Davis says:
CO: Antimatter weapons were outlawed through interstellar treaty.  We've never worked with true plasma weapons either.  Nothing I have access to would help, but perhaps Starfleet Command has something.

Cns_Moore says:
<Survivor> ::grabs Starr’s arm and tries to say something::

CMO-Troi says:
::arrives with person::

CEO_Davis says:
::shrugs, then frowns slightly::

S0_M`Toc says:
::Racking my brain trying to think of more scans::

CSO_VIPER says:
CO: We haven't found a thing!

CMO-Troi says:
<SEK>: Get over here, we have an emergency!

XO_Pang says:
@*AT* Please report status so far .... and your whereabouts

Host CO_Peters says:
CSO:  Report.  CEO, you may want to listen to this.

Cns_Moore says:
<Survivor> ::near death, very weak::

CEO_Davis says:
::nods::

CSO_VIPER says:
CO: We haven't found a thing!

EO_Bolitho says:
@XO : we tried to restore power to a terminal but everything’s dead except for our friend in the lab there, Blace and I were going to see where the weapon was getting its power from

CMO-Troi says:
::scanners indicating the person is near death::

CSO_VIPER says:
CO:

CEO_Davis says:
::looks at Viper, then to Peters::

OPS_Blace says:
@XO: And we are going to try and harness the power.

XO_Pang says:
@EO: Well - can you not power up a terminal from the emergency kit you have there?

Host CO_Peters says:
CSO+CEO:  Sorry my mistake.  Back to work

Cns_Moore says:
<Survivor>Starr; Neutrali.....mmmmmmm..st..neutralize..........

XO_Pang says:
@OPS: I am not happy that anything gets uploaded to Seleya .... you saw what happened to the Isis

Cns_Moore says:
CO: No response from SFC

CMO-Troi says:
*CO*: Sir, if we are to save this man, I have to put him into stasis.  He is too far gone for me to help. Orders Sir?

OPS_Blace says:
@XO: We're aren't going to upload it.

EO_Bolitho says:
@XO: oh yeah, aye Ma'am I will get right on it ::feeling quite sheepish::

CEO_Davis says:
CO: The device seems to be in stand-by modem, Captain.  Power has built up in several of the conduits, but has remained there.  I'm attempting to track its origin.

XO_Pang says:
@OPS: Have you tried the de-activate codes we used last time?

CMO-Troi says:
::begins arranging stasis field::

Host CO_Peters says:
*Starr*:  Report to the bridge Commander

OPS_Blace says:
@XO: I'm sorry, deactivate codes??

XO_Pang says:
@EO: I brought additional power packs in this toolkit - may help

S0_M`Toc says:
::Dang it....I can't believe I can't get anything out of this computer....I still haven’t for my cross reference for biologic/mechanical mixes::

Cns_Moore says:
<survivor> Neutralise weapon you must neutr......::faints::

CMO-Troi says:
*CO*: Aye Sir

XO_Pang says:
@OPS: Last time we managed to lock things down .... I have the original codes ..... I may try again

CMO-Troi says:
<SEK>: Finish up here and let me know what happens.

EO_Bolitho says:
@::pulls out a independent power pack and prepares to work on the terminal::

OPS_Blace says:
@XO: Yes ma'am!

CMO-Troi says:
::walks out of sickbay, and down the hallway to the TL::TL: Bridge.

CEO_Davis says:
::realises there has been a chair under the console this whole time; he sits down and rescans the area where the power built up::

Host CO_Peters says:
*XO*:  Can you determine the power source of the weapon?

EO_Bolitho says:
@XO: I have things in hand here Ma'am

OPS_Blace says:
@::Shuffling around the weapon's table. Looking for a console::

XO_Pang says:
@TO:  Can you explore the rest of the station ..... if we found one survivor there could be more

Cns_Moore says:
<Survivor> ::unconscious::

CMO-Troi says:
::exits TL and enters the bridge::

CMO-Troi says:
CO: Sir, reporting as ordered.

TO-Toran says:
@XO: Aye sir.

EO_Bolitho says:
@::links up power pack to terminal and waits for it to sputter into life::

S0_M`Toc says:

XO_Pang says:
@COM: *Seleya*:  We have not managed that yet .... I want to lock things down here for safety

TO-Toran says:
@::Turns around and turns on a torch

Host Cheryl says:

XO_Pang says:
@TO: Stay in touch!

CEO_Davis says:
COM: Bolitho: Davis to Pang.

Host CO_Peters says:
*XO*:  Noted

CMO-Troi says:
::takes the XO's seat:: CO: Sir, it has partial sentience I believe, but it is hard to tell.

EO_Bolitho says:
@XO: I have one of these terminal working

OPS_Blace says:
@::Runs over to EO:: Bolitho: Great, now let's look for some logs.

XO_Pang says:
@OPS: Let me try the lockdown codes ......

TO-Toran says:
@XO: I will.., sir

S0_M`Toc says:
::Desperately wants to get info. out of the computer::

Host CO_Peters says:
CEO:  Any way of accessing the things programs from here?

CSO_VIPER says:
CO: As far as I can tell, it looks like we can't get a good scan because of the energy it's producing.

Cns_Moore says:
CO: Sorry to interrupt sir but SFC has not responded

XO_Pang says:
@::goes to the flickering console and hits a few buttons::

EO_Bolitho says:
@XO: aye Ma’am ::starts looking for the last recorded log of the station::

Host CO_Peters says:
Cns:  No response or signal not getting through to them?

S0_M`Toc says:
CSO:  Can we scan for the energy source?

Cns_Moore says:
CO: No response sir

TO-Toran says:
@::walks to nearest door.

CEO_Davis says:
CO: I'd be afraid to do it.  A direct link-up might be what causes the weapon to trigger.

CSO_VIPER says:
SO: Not sure?

Host CO_Peters says:
CSO:  Any way to clear that up.  May be a hook up to a tricorder on the station?

FCOMallor says:
::walks over to Sci3::

Host CO_Peters says:
Cns:  Keep trying.  SF don't just ignore an active starship

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  The lockdown codes fail to work.

CSO_VIPER says:
CO: Maybe....... Request permission to beam over?

CMO-Troi says:
CO: Sir, until we can determine if this thing has conscious awareness, I advise extreme caution as it can defend itself, whether it is just a machine or not.

Cns_Moore says:
CO:I do not suggest we do that sir

TO-Toran says:
@::Tries to open door::

Cns_Moore says:
CO: I will keep trying sir

XO_Pang says:
@OPS/EO: Well it has learned ... I do NOT like this

Cns_Moore says:
::sends a message to SFC again::

Host CO_Peters says:
CMO:  Relay what you know to Commander Pang.

Host CO_Peters says:
Cns:  Excellent

S0_M`Toc says:
CSO:  Can we link the ships sensors to the main computer on the station?

XO_Pang says:
@COM: *Seleya* Lockdown codes used previously no longer work .... it seems the thing has learned!

EO_Bolitho says:
@XO: Ma'am I have accessed the last logs of the station

TO-Toran says:
@:: Turns left and walks a meter.::

CSO_VIPER says:
SO: We still won't get a great signal.

CEO_Davis says:
::hears Pang's voice::

XO_Pang says:
@EO: So what did they do?

CEO_Davis says:
COM: *Pang*: Be careful, Commander.  The weapon appears to have switched to a stand-by mode.

CSO_VIPER says:
CO: Request permission to beam over

CMO-Troi says:
COM: Pang: this is Starr, that devise may or may not be sentient, I would advise extreme caution in approaching it.  It does seem to act like Dr. Daystroms M5 unit in a way.

S0_M`Toc says:
CSO:  Any way to bust the power?

TO-Toran says:
@::turns around::

XO_Pang says:
@COM:CMO: Thanks - we guessed as much ...

Host CO_Peters says:
COM: Pang: Can you access the stations records?  May be there is something in there.

CSO_VIPER says:
SO: Unsure.

S0_M`Toc says:
CSO:  Maybe divert power form non-essential systems.

XO_Pang says:
@COM:CO: Bolitho has accessed ... we are studying them now ... I do NOT recommend an upload to Seleya - too dangerous

CMO-Troi says:
CSO: Can you access the records on the M5 unit?

Cns_Moore says:
<SFC> COM: Seleya: How can we be of assistance?

CSO_VIPER says:
CMO: Just a minute.

Host CO_Peters says:
COM: Pang:  I agree.  try Dr. Evans logs first, he designed the thing

S0_M`Toc says:
CSO:  To the main sensors?

XO_Pang says:
@*TO* You are ok?

CEO_Davis says:
COM: *Bolitho*:  Davis to Bolitho, come in.

XO_Pang says:
@COM:CO: Will do

EO_Bolitho says:
@XO: Dr Evans was going a little free lance with his experiments!

TO-Toran says:
@*XO*: The doors won't open sir.

Cns_Moore says:
CEO: Bolitho is on Cortez

CSO_VIPER says:
CMO: Where are you?

XO_Pang says:
@EO:  Well that figures .... what sort of freelance work?  I just hope he was not messing with genetics together with weapons!

CMO-Troi says:
::walks over to see the info on M5::

CEO_Davis says:
CNS: That's why I just commed him.

CMO-Troi says:
CSO: Behind you!

EO_Bolitho says:
COM:* Davis* Bolitho here

Host CO_Peters says:
COM: Pang+CMO:  Just a thought.  If we are saying this thing is just a weapon, then may be something else on the station is using it.  After all, wasn't genetic research also carried out here

CSO_VIPER says:
CMO: Here’s everything you'll need!

XO_Pang says:
@COM: Seleya: It seems Evans was tinkering with sentient weapons .... a mix of genetics and armament ....

CEO_Davis says:
COM: *Bolitho*: Lieutenant, do you need any help with anything?  I can't get many details from up here, but I can tell you that the device is in a stand-by mode.

CMO-Troi says:
::begins reading the data over the CSO's shoulder;:

XO_Pang says:
@COM: Seleya: Please ensure you keep a good distance ... this looks very hairy!

CSO_VIPER says:
::steps out of the way::

TO-Toran says:
@::Begins to pull out phaser to blow up door.::

EO_Bolitho says:
@::nods in agreement with the XO::

XO_Pang says:
@*TO* Do NOT use weapons in your search

TO-Toran says:
@::Puts phaser back realising it might react.::

TO-Toran says:
@*XO*: Sorry sir.

S0_M`Toc says:
:: Tries again to get scans of the weapon::

XO_Pang says:
@*TO*: You mean you were going to fire a phaser here!

Host CO_Peters says:
CSO+CEO:  Could something other than the weapon be in control.  Genetic perhaps.

Cns_Moore says:
::explains their status  to SFC::

EO_Bolitho says:
COM: *Davis* SFC sent us the schematics of this thing the last time have a look maybe you will fins something that I missed

XO_Pang says:
@EO: We need to disable things .... last time Lt. Davis managed to lock things down ... any thoughts on that?

FCOMallor says:
::scouring all databases for info on Dr Evans::

Cns_Moore says:
<SFC> COM: Seleya: We are sorry we cannot provide you with anymore information

CSO_VIPER says:
CO: We've already thought of that, but the scans aren't finished

S0_M`Toc says:
CSO:  Can the weapon it's self reason?

TO-Toran says:
@::Doesn’t' hear XO::

CMO-Troi says:
COM: Pang: This unit may be a derivation of the M5, do NOT allow any power to reach it.

CEO_Davis says:
COM: Bolitho: Acknowledged. I'll have a look.

XO_Pang says:
@COM:CMO:  I believe it has power ... standby power only at this stage

OPS_Blace says:
@Pang+*CO*: Captain, Commander, I think we should try and communicate with it, if we are dealing with a sentient being, it probably will understand at least something, but on the other hand, it may be a trigger. Perhaps there is someone controlling it. Weapons usually don't fire themselves...unless they are sentient...I hope that made sense.

S0_M`Toc says:
CSO:  Like Commander Data.

CEO_Davis says:
CO: It's conceivable.  Some of these conduits seem to be for high-speed data transfer.  What is being transferred I do not know.  

CMO-Troi says:
COM:  Pang:  Can the engineer place a mirror or some kind of reflecting devise between it and its power source?

Cns_Moore says:
CO: SFC cannot provide us with further assistance

XO_Pang says:
@OPS: Feel free to try ... but clear things with me first

Host CO_Peters says:
Cns: Noted

TO-Toran says:
@::Tries pulling doors open::

EO_Bolitho says:
@XO: Aye Ma'am. CEO shut down the power last time , maybe I can do the same?

CSO_VIPER says:
SO: We don't have enough data.

Host CO_Peters says:
CEO:  See if you can trace them, you may need to work with the EO on the station

EO_Bolitho says:
@::moves towards the lab with a tricorder monitoring the weapons power::

CEO_Davis says:
CO: Aye sir.

XO_Pang says:
@EO:  If it is sentient .... and sort of sleeping - perhaps we should try Blace's suggestion first

TO-Toran says:
@::Manages to open door slightly::

S0_M`Toc says:
CSO: Do we have logs of it's creator?

Host CO_Peters says:
COM: Pang:  this may sound daft, but have we tried hailing the weapon?

Cns_Moore says:
::gets some more coffee from the thermos::

CEO_Davis says:
::turns around, with a new objective, and begins scanning three specific conduits that are not transferring energy::

OPS_Blace says:
@*CO* Exactly!

XO_Pang says:
@::lightbulb blinks over head:: COM: Seleya: Not as yet ... perhaps you can hail?

Cns_Moore says:
Bridge Crew: Anyone for coffee?

CSO_VIPER says:
SO: We do.

Host CO_Peters says:
Cns:  Lt, try hailing the weapon, see what response we get.

Cns_Moore says:
CO: Yessir

Host CO_Peters says:
FCO:  Standby, this may irritate the thing

Cns_Moore says:
::hails weapon::

S0_M`Toc says:
CSO:  Can we access them to see if we can get some info about the schematics of the weapon?

CMO-Troi says:
::waits to see if the hail to the weapons has a response::

XO_Pang says:
@::walks into the weapons lab and looks at the sleeping thing ..... considers::

FCOMallor says:
::goes back to the conn::

OPS_Blace says:
@::Waits impatiently for response to hail::

TO-Toran says:
@::Slides between doors.::

CSO_VIPER says:
SO: Go ahead.

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  The device powers up, humming loudly

CEO_Davis says:
::watches as his scan begins following the conduits and their data transfer, but like the power conduits, everything appears to be a tangled mass::

FCOMallor says:
ohboy.....

XO_Pang says:
@Weapon: Hello ..... nice to meet you!

OPS_Blace says:
@::Startled::

CEO_Davis says:
::hears a beep and his attention shifts::

CEO_Davis says:
CO: The weapon has powered up.

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  There is no response from the device.

S0_M`Toc says:
Computer:  Access official logs of Dr. Evans.

Cns_Moore says:
CO: Maybe we should get them out of there

Host CO_Peters says:
CEO+CSO: We seem to have it's attention.  Can we talk to it?

XO_Pang says:
@weapon:  Hello .... Dr. Evans says you are a friend

Host CO_Peters says:
CMO: Can you contact the weapon telepathically?

CSO_VIPER says:
CO: One moment, Captain.

CEO_Davis says:
::puts scan on the side and brings up schematics::

CMO-Troi says:
CO: I can try Sir.

Host CO_Peters says:
CMO: Do it

S0_M`Toc says:
Computer:  Access official logs of Dr. Evans.

TO-Toran says:
@::looks at desk in room::

CMO-Troi says:
::begins to think of the weapon's appearance and sends out a mental greeting::

XO_Pang says:
@::waits as the machine hums::

CEO_Davis says:
CO, CMO: It's a machine.  The schematics include a core set of commands.  Perhaps using them via a hail, we can communicate with it.

CSO_VIPER says:
COMPUTER: Access all algorithms and language databanks.

OPS_Blace says:
@*Pang*: Commander, permission to go back to the shuttle and try a direct computer hook up. I would not want to risk the ship.

Host Cheryl says:
<Computer>  ::ties into the station computer and begins uploading Evans' files, per M'Toc's request::

Host CO_Peters says:
CEO: Ask it it's status

Host Cheryl says:
<Computer>  Complying.

CEO_Davis says:
CO: Aye sir.

XO_Pang says:
@*OPS*:  Go .... take the shuttle away from the station before you try please

FCOMallor says:
::flips the conn back over to his junior walks over to Sci3 again::

CMO-Troi says:
CO: Sir I am receiving nothing.

Host CO_Peters says:
CMO:  May be it's not sentient then

Cns_Moore says:
CO: Sir have you authorised direct uplinks from the ship to the station?

TO-Toran says:
@::Reads papers on desk.::

CEO_Davis says:
::hails device using three commands: STATUS COMPLY AUDIO

S0_M`Toc says:
::reads the log carefully::

XO_Pang says:
@::still standing looking at the weapon::

Host CO_Peters says:
Cns:  We need to understand it's language.  Yes, only language files for the device

CMO-Troi says:
CO: I suggest they treat it like a highly sophisticated computer.

EO_Bolitho says:
@::joins the XO looking at the weapon::

OPS_Blace says:
@*Pang* You mean, take the shuttle away from the station before I try  a hook up?

XO_Pang says:
@::thinks of other means of communication::

CEO_Davis says:
CO: I just used three of its commands.  Status should make it do a self-diagnostic, comply will actually execute, and audio will transmit it back via audio.

XO_Pang says:
@*OPS* Yes

Cns_Moore says:
CO: I do not know if such a thing is wise sir can't we guess and leave that as a last resort?

Host CO_Peters says:
CEO: Noted

EO_Bolitho says:
@XO: Ma'am I did bring a couple of potent computer virus that could shut down the weapon

CMO-Troi says:
CO ::says jokingly:: Perhaps sign language will work!

Host CO_Peters says:
COM: Pang:  We just sent it some commands, anything?

OPS_Blace says:
@::Sees that he is in same room as XO:: Pang: Yes ma'am. *Shuttle* One to beam up.

XO_Pang says:
@COM: *Seleya*: Lt. Blace is moving the shuttle away from Cortez to try communication

CEO_Davis says:
::waits for response::

FCOMallor says:
::trawling Evans' family.....::

CEO_Davis says:
CO: No response.

XO_Pang says:
@COM: *Seleya*: No reaction from the weapon Sir

Host CO_Peters says:
CEO:  Great.  I’m running out of ideas.

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  Power to the device increases

Host CO_Peters thinks:  ::Lets just blow the damn station up::

XO_Pang says:
@::wonders if it understands Morse code::

CSO_VIPER says:
SO: I need to talk to you for a second.

S0_M`Toc says:
::Reads logs carefully....looking for any info. on it's possible ability to reason::

XO_Pang says:
@::grabs torch and flashes "friend" in Morse at the weapon::

EO_Bolitho says:
@XO: I could upload a virus and shut the weapon down?

TO-Toran says:
@::Picks up sheets of paper and Walks to doors::

XO_Pang says:
@EO: I think that could be worse that the situation we are in now

FCOMallor says:
CO: Evans had a brother... who had a son.. Adrian. Adrian and the good doctor were very close..  want me to work on it?

CSO_VIPER says:
::walks over to corner::

OPS_Blace says:
%::ON the shuttle::

CEO_Davis says:
CO: I have an idea, Captain.  The device uses several power sources that are each tuned at a minimal level.  I can't locate them, however, but if we could interface power, perhaps in the form of power packs, with the computer we may be able to cause a controlled overload, which may shut the weapon down.

CSO_VIPER says:
SO: Come over here.

CMO-Troi says:
CO: Is there a keyboard where they can type instructions to it?

XO_Pang says:
@COM: *Seleya*:  About to try semaphore ... it does not seem to respond to Morse code!

S0_M`Toc says:
::moves to CSO’s side::

OPS_Blace says:
%::Looks around, feels like it's a week since last on it. Takes the conn and on thrusters moves the shuttle out of weapons range::

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  M'Toc notices an odd circumstance in Evans' logs, the repeated use of a single word....... conundrum

CMO-Troi says:
COM: Pang: Is there a keyboard where you can type instructions to it?

TO-Toran says:
@::Walks to the rest of the away team::

CSO_VIPER says:
SO: Did you just have an uplink to the station?

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  That word appears more often than it would normally, it would seem

S0_M`Toc says:
CSO:  Yes, sir.

XO_Pang says:
@COM:*CMO* Yes ... we have a console .... should be possible

EO_Bolitho says:
@XO: aye Ma'am

EO_Bolitho says:
@XO: Maybe we could communicate via the padd(keyboard)

CMO-Troi says:
COM: Pang: Well we have tried everything else, maybe that will work.

CSO_VIPER says:
SO: Now on I would like you to clear things with me.

XO_Pang says:
@COM:CMO: What command do you suggest we try to give it?

OPS_Blace says:
%::Connects the computer's core to the station's. Crosses fingers::

CSO_VIPER says:
SO: The link was a potential problem!

EO_Bolitho says:
@XO: shall we try?

CMO-Troi says:
COM: Pang: Run setup

CSO_VIPER says:
SO: Ok

CEO_Davis says:
CO: A controlled overload of the station's power conduits might cause it to shut down, Captain.

XO_Pang says:
@EO: We need more information ..... run setup is the suggestion ..... do you have comments on that?

CMO-Troi says:
:;trying her best to remember old style commands::

S0_M`Toc says:
CSO:  Aye sir, sorry sir.

CSO_VIPER says:
SO: No problem, resume task.

S0_M`Toc says:
SCO:  Aye sir

OPS_Blace says:
%*Pang* The station's computer won't let me link up. Can you try and let me through?

XO_Pang says:
@*OPS* Return to the station please

EO_Bolitho says:
@XO: we can only try, perhaps the TO has found something useful in the logs?

OPS_Blace says:
%*Pang* Ma'am?

CMO-Troi says:
COM: Pang: Try typing in the word "conundrum"

TO-Toran says:
@XO: Yes, I think this may have been some of Evans plans::

FCOMallor says:
::looking into the nephews files....::

S0_M`Toc says:
CSO:  Sir, the word Conundrum keeps repeating in context, but....

XO_Pang says:
@COM:*CMO*  that sounds a possible .... I did notice that word a lot in the logs we saw here

CMO-Troi says:
COM: Pang: that may be the access word.

XO_Pang says:
@::crosses fingers:: COM: *Seleya* Doing it now ....

EO_Bolitho says:
@::types in the word Conundrum::

CEO_Davis says:
CO: If we could interface several portable power packs to the station's power conduits, we may be able to increase the controlled power flow going through it.  If the schematics are accurate, this should cause a shutdown.
