USS Seleya - Stardate 9902.14

Host Cheryl says:
USS Seleya is ordered to investigate an emerging temporal rift in the Bal'zarin system, a vital trade route to the Federation.

Host Cheryl says:
The Bal'zarin system is located near the Romulan Neutral Zone.  Seleya is moving out from their shore leave at Starbase 185.

XO_Pang says:
Engage!

FCO_Dario says:
XO: Sure

FCO_Dario says:
:: 1/4 impulse. Bearing 000 mark 000 ::

XO_Pang says:
All on bridge:  We shall be close to the Romulan neutral zone .... infringements we do not need ....

XO_Pang says:
Vn'dor: I was interested in your possible solutions ..... they are tested?

Host XO_Pang says:
*<SBOPS>* Fly well Seleya - good hunting

FCO_Dario says:
:: moves the ship out of the station as the doors opens ::

Host XO_Pang says:
::watches as Seleya disengages and smoothly exits the docking bay::

Ops_Urk says:
COM:SB: Thank you SB.

EO_Bolitho says:
::Diagnostic checks complete all sensor arrays and the deflector dish running at 110%::

Host XO_Pang says:
*SBOPS*: Thank you ... and thanks for the prompt re-supply

Ops_Urk says:
::checks history on spatial rifts::

FCO_Dario says:
:: at 2000 meters away from the station :: OPS: We're ready to Warp out

CIV_Vndor says:
XO:  My solution for the torpedo scenario is being run through simulations but I'm working on a tachyon burst from the main dish ma'am

MO_Aponte says:
::notes a storage container that has expired, makes note to have it disposed of at earliest opportunity::

EO_Bolitho says:
::heads for the Turbo lift::

Host XO_Pang says:
Vn'dor: I believe that has worked previously .... I have already asked Engineering to be ready to realign the deflector dish

EO_Bolitho says:
Turbo lift: bridge

CIV_Vndor says:
XO: Aye ma'am

FCO_Dario XO: Course to Bal'zarin system laid. Warp 6. ETA: 25 minutes (warp_out.wav)

EO_Bolitho says:
::Arrives on bridge heads for the XO::

Host XO_Pang says:
FCO/Ops: Nice departure ....

Host XO_Pang says:
EO: Systems all ok Lt?

FCO_Dario says:
:: nods :: XO: Thanks, Sir

EO_Bolitho says:
XO: Ma'am the deflector dish is ready for re-alignment

Ops_Urk says:
Vn’dor: I've found where a starship back flushed the ramscoop to close a spatial rift.

EO_Bolitho says:
XO: all other systems are 100% or better

FCO_Dario says:
OPS: Which? The Enterprise?

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  A Starfleet Transmission comes in, indicating that increased activity in the area of the anomaly has been detected

CIV_Vndor says:
OPS:  Really?  What ship was that?

Host XO_Pang says:
TO:  We are told the Bal’zarin sector has had no hostile action recently ... but best to be prepared

Ops_Urk says:
::checking records:: FCO: I believe it was.

Host XO_Pang says:
FCO: ETA?

EO_Bolitho says:
::moves out of the command arc and activates the engineering console ::

TO-Toran says:
XO: Yes sir ::pauses:: We are receiving a transmission

FCO_Dario says:
XO: 14 minutes

Host XO_Pang says:
Ops: Audio please

Ops_Urk says:
Vn’dor/FCO: They apparently used a stream of hydrogen.

Host XO_Pang says:
::feeling slightly fidgety but trying not to show it::

FCO_Dario says:
OPS/CIV: I see. :: checks SIF and IDF ::

CIV_Vndor says:
OPS: Thanks.   ::starts running simulations and wishes Tsalea was here to do this::

MO_Aponte says:
::stretches and glances at the chronometer::  self: has it really been eight hours already?  ::decides to go for a stroll and, with a nod to one of the other doctors on duty, calmly walks out of sickbay::

Host XO_Pang says:
*Med*:  space/time anomalies can have unfortunate medical side effects ... hope you are prepared

Host Cheryl says:
<SF Transmission>:  Increased activity has been reported from the Bal'zarin anomaly.  Ships assigned to investigate the situation are to proceed immediately, at best speed.

FCO_Dario says:
XO: Warp 9?

Host XO_Pang says:
FCO: recalculate at warp 8.5 ..... we need a safety margin

Host XO_Pang says:
OPS: Acknowledge  please

MO_Aponte says:
*XO* we will be ready sir

Host XO_Pang says:
*MO* I hope it will not be necessary

EO_Bolitho says:
::monitors the warp engines as the speed is increased::

Host XO_Pang says:
TO: extend scans to maximum

FCO_Dario says:
XO: fixing course for Warp 8.5

MO_Aponte says:
::starts walking back to sickbay::  self: no rest for the weary

FCO_Dario says:
:: increases speed of injectors ::

TO-Toran says:
::Uses long range scans around the ship and around the anomaly::

Host XO_Pang says:
FCO:  If this is a temporal rift we do NOT need to get too close ... stand off at 500,000 metres

FCO_Dario says:
XO: Roger, sir

Host XO_Pang says:
OPS: We should be able to see this anomaly soon ... on screen please

EO_Bolitho says:
XO: Ma'am we should decrease the speed of the Seleya so as not to risk any more damage to the temporal rift

Host XO_Pang says:
SCI: Analysis?

Ops_Urk says:
XO: aye  Ma'am:: turns on main view screen::

Host XO_Pang says:
FCO: Slow to impulse

FCO_Dario says:
:: slowing to impulse :: XO: We're reaching area

FCO_Dario (engines-all_stop.wav)

Host XO_Pang says:
::looks at the screen .... it looks strange and sort of alive::

FCO_Dario says:
XO: All stopped

Host XO_Pang says:
FCO: Maintain distance ...

FCO_Dario says:
We're now at 500,000 meters of distance of the anomaly

EO_Bolitho says:
::prepares to re-align deflector dish to emit a tachyon burst::

Ops_Urk says:
::verifies power allocations::

TO-Toran says:
::Checks computers for last Freighters in the area::

Host XO_Pang says:
::never seen anything quite like that on screen ..... headachy feeling::

Host Cheryl says:
<Computer>  ::produces for Toran a list of freighters recently reported in the area; the Caravel being the most recent to check in from the area.

Host XO_Pang says:
All: Is that a temporal rift ... or something else?

Ops_Urk says:
::amazed at view on screen::

CIV_Vndor says:
::analysing readings on temporal rift::

MO_Aponte says:
::looks around sickbay, checking biobed displays, medkits and hyposprays....everything looks in order::

TO-Toran says:
::Checks what happened to the Caravel::

FCO_Dario says:
XO: I still don't have any idea, but I'm reading massive fluctuations from all over that thing

Host XO_Pang says:
TO: Any other traffic around Toran?

Host XO_Pang says:
FCO: I see that too ....

TO-Toran says:
XO: No sir, I've been checking the last ships here, and the Caravel was the last, but it's disappeared

Ops_Urk says:
EO: think we should bring back Shield generators on line?

Host XO_Pang says:
TO: Yellow alert please

TO-Toran says:
::Sets Yellow alert::

Ops_Urk  (Yellow Alert.wav)

FCO_Dario says:
:: sets SIF and IDF to max. ::

EO_Bolitho says:
OPS: their standing by

Host XO_Pang says:
TO: How long ago was Caravel around here?

Host XO_Pang says:
SCI: Can you determine any sort of trail for the Caravel?

Ops_Urk says:
::notes back systems coming online::

TO-Toran says:
XO: Seven minutes, but we would have at least a trail of where they went

MO_Aponte says:
::enjoys peace and quiet as much as anyone else, but would like some excitement::  self: would it be too much to ask for even one case of Rigellian flu?

Host XO_Pang says:
TO: Nothing showing on the tachyon scans for that ship?

CIV_Vndor says:
XO:  Aye ma'am let me check  ::initiates a tachyon scan of the area and searches for any ion trail from the engines::

TO-Toran says:
::Scans:: XO: No sir

Host XO_Pang says:
::wonders how many aboard the Caravel::

CIV_Vndor says:
XO:  Ma'am a trail seems to lead into the anomaly of that thing   ::points at the viewscreen::

FCO_Dario says:
:: reads data from deflector array ::

Host XO_Pang says:
SCI:  How old is that trail?  Temporal scan?

CIV_Vndor says:
::scans for temporal signature::

Host XO_Pang says:
::thinks hard ... wishes the CO was here ...::

CIV_Vndor says:
XO:  Unsure ma'am.  Can't pinpoint it

EO_Bolitho says:
::increases power for the tachyon scans::

Host XO_Pang says:
All: Well there were 15 crew on that freighter ....::

FCO_Dario says:
XO: We would send a probe, Commander

CIV_Vndor says:
XO:  Perhaps if we launched a Probe?

Host XO_Pang says:
FCO/Ops: Do it

Ops_Urk says:
::notes power increase for tachyon scan::

EO_Bolitho says:
Civ Vn’dor: I have increased power to your scans you can try again?

Ops_Urk says:
::prepares probe::

Host XO_Pang says:
Vn'dor - recommendations as to additional features for the probe?

CIV_Vndor says:
EO: Thanks.   ::rescans the trail leading to anomaly::

Ops_Urk says:
::listens for Vn'dor's comments::

CIV_Vndor says:
XO: Suggest tachyon scans and quantum signatures to say the least

Host XO_Pang says:
SCI: Assist with the configuration of the probe please ... TO: Launch once Lt. Vn'dor says it is ready

TO-Toran says:
XO: Aye sir ::Gets probe ready::

Ops_Urk says:
::makes adjustments to probe::

CIV_Vndor says:
OPS:  Shall we?   ::pointing to the TL::

Ops_Urk says:
Vn'dor: led on sir.

CIV_Vndor says:
::enters TL and waits for OPS::

Host XO_Pang says:
::crosslinks SCI1 console to CO's chair::

Ops_Urk says:
::enters TL::

Host XO_Pang says:
FCO: Please crosslink Ops while they are gone

FCO_Dario says:
XO: Aye.

CIV_Vndor says:
TL: Forward Torpedo Tubes

FCO_Dario says:
:: crosslinking panels ::

Host XO_Pang says:
::monitoring the fluctuations on the 'thing out there'

CIV_Vndor says:
arriving in Torpedo Room

CIV_Vndor says:
OPS:   It shouldn't take long to make the adjustments

Ops_Urk says:
::nods:: and starts making adjustments::

Host XO_Pang says:
TO: I guess we have torpedoes to spare?

Ops_Urk says:
Vn'dor: check this please

CIV_Vndor says:
::competes modifications for scanning quantum realities::

FCO_Dario says:
*OPS*: Tell me when it's ready. I'll launch it.

EO_Bolitho says:
::wonders id he should send an engineering team to help with the modifications to the torpedo::

TO-Toran says:
::Checks Torpedoes:: XO: Definitely sir

Ops_Urk says:
::looks at Vn’dor:: CIV: we ready?

CIV_Vndor says:
:: looks over to OPS::  OPS:   That should do it  Urk

CIV_Vndor says:
OPS:  I say it's ready for launch

Host XO_Pang says:
EO: Everything still checking out 100% in Engineering?  We may need power in a hurry?

Host XO_Pang says:
*SCI/Ops* Nearly ready?

Ops_Urk says:
*FCO* It's ready , launch anytime

MO_Aponte says:
::sits at the desk in the CMO's office playing an ancient human game called solitaire, waiting for something to happen that requires his talents::

EO_Bolitho says:
XO: aye Ma'am I check it out now

CIV_Vndor says:
*XO*:  The probe is ready for launch ma'am

Host XO_Pang says:
*SCI/Ops* Return to bridge .... TO will launch from here

Ops_Urk says:
::motions to Vn'dor and moves to TL;;

EO_Bolitho says:
::runs level 1 diagnostic on all systems::

Host XO_Pang says:
TO:  lock onto that tachyon trail and get the probe to follow .... slowly - monitoring all the way

CIV_Vndor says:
::follows Urk out::

Host XO_Pang says:
TO: Launch when ready

TO-Toran says:
::Locks onto Tachyon trail and sets probe ready::

EO_Bolitho says:
XO: Ma'am what about keeping a tractor lock on the probe so we don't lose it?

TO-Toran says:
::Launches probe::

Host XO_Pang says:
EO: Do it ... good idea

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  the probe spirals its way toward the anomaly, sending back readings, and suddenly disappears, readings truncated

EO_Bolitho says:
::locks tractor on to probe::

Ops_Urk says:
::Ops and Vn'dor exit TL on to Bridge::

CIV_Vndor says:
::arrives on bridge::

TO-Toran says:
::Looks around::

FCO_Dario says:
XO: The probe is..... missing!

Host XO_Pang says:
All: Suggestions?

Ops_Urk says:
::hears FCO and bolts to Ops console::

CIV_Vndor says:
::moves to science to see if receiving transmissions from probe::

Host XO_Pang says:
SCI: What can you determine from the readings we obtained before the crunch?

FCO_Dario says:
:: unlinks OPS :: XO: It has crossed the rift?

Host XO_Pang says:
FCO: Then you are sure it is a rift?

EO_Bolitho says:
XO: Ma'am the anomaly pulled the probe in regardless of the tractor beam I recommend we back off a little bit

Ops_Urk says:
::waits for FCO/Vn'dor's answer::

FCO_Dario says:
XO: I guess so. The only way that a probe would disappear is only if a ship id destroying the probe or a rift in space

Host XO_Pang says:
::thinks that, despite all her reservations, there may be no other way but to take Seleya closer ... very reluctant to do that::

Host XO_Pang says:
SCI: any sign of graviton particles where the probe was destroyed?

EO_Bolitho says:
XO: Ma'am can I recommend a runabout to go in a little closer?

CIV_Vndor says:
XO:  Ma'am, nothing specific about it but I am showing it to of a temporal nature

Ops_Urk says:
::continues to check history of how a rift had been closed in the past::

Host XO_Pang says:
::shudders at time rift thoughts::

Host XO_Pang says:
EO:  A shuttle could land up just like the probe .... shielding would not be sufficient

Ops_Urk says:
Vn'dor: are there any chromaton readings?

EO_Bolitho says:
XO: aye Ma'am

Host XO_Pang says:
OPS: Send bridge logs back to Starfleet ..... I believe we have no alternative but to go closer

FCO_Dario says:
XO/EO: A computer controlled shuttle would be a better idea

CIV_Vndor says:
OPS: Aye, very typical of a Temporal Rift

Ops_Urk says:
::launches subspace signal to SF with all current data::

Ops_Urk says:
XO: done Ma'am

EO_Bolitho says:
XO: the FCO had a good idea there rather than risking the Seleya

MO_Aponte says:
computer: anything interesting going on now?

Host XO_Pang says:
FCO: True ... but we could just land up with another loss .... we'll try it ...

CIV_Vndor says:
EO: Yeas but how are we to know what happens after it goes through?

MO_Aponte says:
<computer> MO: this vessel is with 500Km of a space-time distortion.

Ops_Urk says:
EO: can we increase the power to the tractor beam and maintain a lock on a shuttle?

Host XO_Pang says:
::listens while ideas go around between crew::

CIV_Vndor says:
OPS: Would a tractor beam hold up through a temp rift?

EO_Bolitho says:
OPS : we can try that, yes

Ops_Urk says:
::shrugs:: Vn’dor: It possible.

EO_Bolitho says:
Civ Vn’dor: what could we use as a location beacon so we could track that shuttle regardless of where it came out any idea's?

Host XO_Pang says:
OPS: Prep shuttle no 5 .... computer controlled .... I need more data before risking Seleya

CIV_Vndor says:
OPS: I'd say it's worth a try rather than entering ourselves or getting too close

MO_Aponte says:
::sigh::   computer: I think it's time I updated my last will and testament...

Ops_Urk says:
Vn'dor: the records show that each rift seems a little different.

Host XO_Pang says:
*Med* We have reports of a missing freighter ... 15 lives aboard ... we are trying to track through the anomaly - could be casualties

MO_Aponte says:
*XO*  understood, will you be needing personnel for an away team?

Ops_Urk says:
Vn'dor: The Seleya would have a better chance of surviving than a shuttle.

Host XO_Pang says:
*Med* If there is an AT - medical would be on it ...

MO_Aponte says:
*XO* we'll be ready, just give the word.

Ops_Urk says:
EO: don't you agree?

Host XO_Pang says:
FCO/OPS:  How soon before we can launch that shuttle?  All data is useful

EO_Bolitho says:
::searches through records of objects passing through anomalies and where they came out at ::

CIV_Vndor says:
OPS: Only a rift in time/space.  I don't see any danger of destruction

Host XO_Pang says:
::wondering how she will explain yet another missing shuttle to the powers that be::

TO-Toran says:
::Scans the anomaly for any evidence that it was artificially made::
