Star Trek: Apache - Episode #12
Week # 2
Mission: "Auld Lang Syne"

Host Jafo says:
Apache has reached the Tartarus system and has begun to make the necessary preparations for witnessing the hypernova of the Tartarus star. They have rendezvoused with the USS Crazy Horse and taken on a visitor, Doctor Mruil, who is no stranger to Apache or her crew.

Host Jafo says:
Commander Linard and her team are already on their way to Trill and are expected to reach their destination in approximately twenty-four hours. It will be a bit of a journey so the group is doing what they can to pass the time.

CSO_Storal says:
*SO*: Mister Hammond, prepare a series of probes and have them ready to launch on my order.

CEO_Yeung says:
::on the bridge at engineering station::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::manning the primary tactical station::

SO_Hammond says:
*CSO*: Aye sir, I was just about to ask you that.

CNS_Vekh says:
::in his quarters getting ready for his duty shift::

CSO_Storal says:
CO: Sir, I’ve just taken a reading about the station … I believe current position is inadequate. We need to go much further back.

CIV_Xavier says:
::enters her quarters throwing her duffel bag on her bed::

SO_Hammond says:
::starts preparing a couple of probes for launch::

CSO_Storal says:
CO: We can use a series of probes to get what we need.

Sonja_Davore says:
::mucks around in her quarters a bit::

TO_Masterson says:
@::on the runabout watching the tactical controls and sensors::

Host CO_Turnbull says:
CSO:  Understood Commander.  Have your teams prepare and deploy the probes.

CMO_Naegle says:
::in sickbay monitoring Mister Marsland and getting ready to monitor for the bridge's safety.::

XO_Linard says:
@::on the runabout at the co-pilot's controls and reading reports while she relaxes::

CSO_Storal says:
OPS: Bring us to these coordinates...

Host CO_Turnbull says:
OPS:  Use the information from sensors and move the Apache to a safe distance from the star.

OPS_Lowell says:
CSO: On it...

OPS_Lowell says:
CO: Aye sir.

CIV_Xavier says:
::changes into a fresh uniform::

XO_Linard says:
@TO: Anything on scanners, Lieutenant?

CSO_Storal says:
CEO: Mister Yeung, are your repair teams standing by?

CEO_Yeung says:
CSO: Yes sir, any problems and my teams will pounce right on them.

Sonja_Davore1 says:
::stares at herself in the mirror a bit contemplating what the CMO had told her during her physical::

Host CO_Turnbull says:
::leans back in her chair, looking at the viewscreen an the star in the center of it::

TO_Masterson says:
@XO: Only regular traffic ma'am.

CSO_Storal says:
CEO: Good, this is going to be an immense shockwave.

CIV_Xavier says:
::equips herself with a few items and takes her supplements and heads for the Bridge::

OPS_Lowell says:
::scans Comm frequencies and long-range sensors for approaching Breen ships::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::admires their view of the star::

CSO_Storal says:
OPS: Send a message to SB 514 and have them divert all ship traffic away from this sector.

OPS_Lowell says:
CSO: Aye, sir

MO_Sarel says:
@ ::sits there twiddling her thumbs ... realizes she has a food craving::

CNS_Kawan says:
*CTO*: Mister Cha`Dak, please respond.

XO_Linard says:
@::nods:: TO: I guess I'm a little apprehensive with the Breen having been known to be in the area.

Sonja_Davore1 says:
::mutters stubbornly to her reflection:: Sonja: I don't need to see a counselor!  ::huffs, and then spins on her heel, heading back to sickbay::

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
ACTION: Tartarus goes into a period of intense solar flare activity expected to go on for some time prior to the final hypernova.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*Lt_Kawan*: This is Lt. Cha`Dak.

CEO_Yeung says:
::runs a final check on the systems::

CSO_Storal says:
*SO*: Are the probes ready

MO_Sarel says:
@::goes to the food replicator and gets some salt and vinegar potato chips::

CIV_Xavier says:
::enters the bridge::

CNS_Kawan says:
*CTO*: I just wished to remind you of your appointment with Cmdr Vekh. You've got 5 minutes left.

CMO_Naegle says:
::decides to go check on Sonja Davore::

Host CO_Turnbull says:
OPS:  Work with Commander Storal on a simulation of the Hypernova, and then plot our exit vector to escape the shockwave.

OPS_Lowell says:
COMM: SB 514: Starbase 514, this is the USS Apache. We are investigating the Tartarus system; we have indications that it may go Hypernova. Please divert any civilian or Starfleet Traffic away from the Tartarus star.

SO_Hammond says:
*CSO*: They will be in just a minute, sir. ::works at his station:: CSO: Okay, just finished.  They are ready, sir.

OPS_Lowell says:
CO: Will do, sir.

XO_Linard says:
@::turns in her seat and hears the MO munching on something:: MO: That smells good ... mind if I ask what it is?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::looks over at the CO wondering how much trouble he'll be in for forgetting his appointment::

CSO_Storal says:
*SO*: Launch the first probe.

CMO_Naegle says:
::walks out of sickbay and into the turbolift instructing it to go to the deck Sonja’s quarters are on::

MO_Sarel says:
@ ::makes loud noises munching on the chips:: XO: You’ve got to try these … have some. ::offers her the bag::

OPS_Lowell says:
CSO: Sir, do we have any preliminary indications of the events of Tartarus going Hypernova?

CEO_Yeung says:
::frowns and looks up:: CSO: Sir, according to the latest information shields, SIF, and IDF won't be sufficient to protect us from the radiation or the shockwave.

CNS_Vekh says:
::picks up a PADD and goes over to his desk and reviews the crewmember profile on it:: Self: K’hora Cha`Dak, this should prove interesting...

SO_Hammond says:
*CSO*: Aye sir. ::launches the first probe::

Sonja_Davore1 says:
::walks out of her quarter and heads towards the Turbolift still a little upset about what the CMO had said::

Starbase 514 says:
@COM: Apache: Acknowledged, Apache. We'll begin to warn local traffic here but it will be up to you to ensure the area is secure prior to the Hypernova.

CSO_Storal says:
CEO: Get on it.

XO_Linard says:
@MO: What is it? It smells sour...

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CO: Captain, I must apologize, but I had forgotten my appointment with the counselor today… 

CIV_Xavier says:
::enters the bridge::

OPS_Lowell says:
COM: SB 514: Understood, Apache out.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::grumbles quietly::

CMO_Naegle says:
::comes out of turbolift and sees Sonja:: Sonja: Hello Sonja, did you think about what I said?

CSO_Storal says:
OPS: The intense solar flare activity has begun … it should be like this for the next several hours.

CIV_Xavier says:
::walks towards an empty station::

CEO_Yeung says:
CSO: Aye aye. ::gets his teams to boost power to the necessary systems::

MO_Sarel says:
@XO: Yeah, they are kind of sour … but really good. Just give one a try.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CO: Permission to be relieved, sir?

XO_Linard says:
@::puts her hand in the MO's bag of chips and takes a bite of one::

OPS_Lowell says:
CSO: Interesting, I am plotting an escape vector … any thoughts?

Host CO_Turnbull says:
CTO:  Permission granted, Mister Cha`Dak.

Sonja_Davore1 says:
::almost bumps into the CMO:: CMO: Oh, hello... ::is genuinely surprised to see her:: CMO: I was just on my way to sickbay. ::hears what she said:: CMO: Oh … well…

CNS_Vekh says:
::exits his quarters heading for his office on Deck 6::

XO_Linard says:
@MO: Interesting, I can't say I've had anything like this before.

CIV_Xavier says:
::walks over to take over tactical with the CTO leaving::

CSO_Storal says:
OPS: When that star goes it’s going to take the first two planets with it, at least. I would have us pointed away from it.

MO_Sarel says:
@XO: They are made from potatoes, of all things. They are an Earth invention ... really bad for you.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::taps the tactical console a few times before leaving his station to Savannah and heading for the turbo lift::

OPS_Lowell says:
::makes a face at the CSO:: CSO: Commander, serious suggestions may help save our lives and the lives of our fellow crewmen.

CEO_Yeung says:
::re-routes energy to reinforce the backup systems::

SO_Hammond says:
::looks over the readings coming in and makes sure they are being recorded::

OPS_Lowell says:
CSO: Jokes may kill us all...

CMO_Naegle says:
::smiles:: Sonja: It's okay, let's get back to Sickbay. I have to monitor for radiation levels while the bridge crew is watching a star go hypernova.  I'd really like your help.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CIV: I am late for my appointment with the counselor; please man the Tactical Station until I return.

CSO_Storal says:
CO: Sir, I would also like to suggest that all crewmembers be inoculated against radiation poisoning.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::enters the turbolift::

MO_Sarel says:
@XO: What do you think? A friend of mine at the academy ate them all the time.

CIV_Xavier says:
::runs a few scans for neutrino emissions::

XO_Linard says:
@::takes another one:: MO: That must be why they taste so good.

CMO_Naegle says:
::turns to walk away hoping Sonja will follow::

CSO_Storal says:
OPS: I wasn’t joking… ::gives a stern look to OPS::

OPS_Lowell says:
::stares the CSO down::

Host CO_Turnbull says:
CSO:  Excellent suggestion Commander, I'll contact Doctor Naegle and ask her to have teams do that.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
TL: Deck 6.

MO_Sarel says:
@XO: Yes that's true, nice and greasy and salty. ::smiles::

CSO_Storal says:
::nods at the Captain:: CEO: How are the modifications coming? ::walks over to the Engineering station::

CNS_Vekh says:
::enters his office greeting Lieutenant Junior Grade Kawan, his assistant:: Kawan: Good day, Lieutenant. How's things going?

XO_Linard says:
@::giggles softly:: MO: …and nice and hard on the arteries too. ::winks:: TO: Would you like to try some Lieutenant?

Host CO_Turnbull says:
*CMO*: Doctor Naegle, prepare teams to inoculate the crew for radiation exposure.

CNS_Kawan says:
::smiles:: CNS: Everything is fine, sir. I've just contacted the CTO and he should be arriving in short order.

TO_Masterson says:
XO: From what I'm hearing about them, I'll have to pass.

CEO_Yeung says:
CSO: No problems so far. I just hope it'll be enough.

OPS_Lowell says:
::begins plotting an escape vector that will take the Apache away from the predicted path of the Hypernova::

CNS_Vekh says:
Kawan: Excellent, Mister Kawan. I'll be in my office. ::retreats to his room and sits on his desk::

CMO_Naegle says:
*CO*: Aye Captain! Sonja: Sonja? Are you coming?

MO_Sarel says:
@ ::laughs at the TO::

CIV_Xavier says:
::scans for nearby unusual vessels::

XO_Linard says:
@::grins:: TO: I understand, but one isn't going to hurt.

CSO_Storal says:
CEO: We need to make sure that the radiation doesn’t overcome us … that will be the deadliest factor.

CMO_Naegle says:
::enters turbolift with Sonja:: Turbolift: Sickbay.

TO_Masterson says:
@XO: One can ALWAYS hurt.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::exits the Turbolift and enters the counselor’s office, a slight frown on his face::

Sonja_Davore says:
::nods:: CMO: Of course, this will also give me the opportunity to learn stuff. ::follows the CMO into the lift::

MO_Sarel says:
@TO: Yeah, come on … just a tiny bit of plaque on the old arteries if you eat one.

CEO_Yeung says:
::nods:: CSO: I'll try modifying the shields to be more effective against it.

CSO_Storal says:
*Mruil*: Doctor, the star has begun to enter the intense solar flare activity. You may want to have a look at it.

XO_Linard says:
@TO: Well that depends on how you chew it. If you don't then I can see it leaving a mark on your esophagus. ::grins::

OPS_Lowell says:
::finishes the course plotting:: CO: Captain, we have an emergency escape course plotted.

CSO_Storal says:
CEO: Excellent Mister Yeung.

CNS_Kawan says:
::sees the Klingon entering:: CTO: Mister Cha`Dak, good morning. Chief Counselor Vekh will be seeing you shortly. Would you like a refreshment?

TO_Masterson says:
@XO: I believe I will continue to pass.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
Kawan: No thank you.

CEO_Yeung says:
::pulls up info on radiation and begins modifying the shields::

MO_Sarel says:
@::laughs at the XO::

Host CO_Turnbull says:
CIV:  Mister Xavier, are sensors picking up any ships in the area?

SO_Hammond says:
::think to himself, ‘I can't wait for this to happen, how many people can say they’ve watched something like this’::

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
*CSO*: Yes Commander ... I'm in Main Science now. We have quite a visual. It's breathtaking.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::stands awkwardly in front of the desk, hands behind back::

CMO_Naegle says:
Sonja: When we get to sickbay I'll need you to help me get inoculations against radiation poisoning ready.

OPS_Lowell says:
CO: Say the word and we will be out of the system in .24 seconds.

Host CO_Turnbull says:
OPS:  Thank you, Mister Lowell.

XO_Linard says:
@::nods:: TO: Okay, no problem.

CIV_Xavier says:
CO: Just regular traffic, Captain.

Sonja_Davore says:
::looks over at the tall woman and then faces the door again:: CMO: I thought about what you'd said and I still say I'm fine.  However, as an honor to my word to you I will go make an appointment with the counselor as soon as time allows.

Sonja_Davore says:
CMO: Sure, okay … just show me how.

CIV_Xavier says:
CO: Should we be evacuating the area?

CNS_Vekh says:
::notices the talk in the other room and gets up::

CSO_Storal says:
*Mruil*: The show is just beginning, sir.

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
ACTION: As the runabout moves through space a sudden energy surge moves through the vessel causing the lights to flicker from bow to stern. The communications panel, near MO Sarel, showers her with sparks.

CNS_Vekh says:
::moves to door and sees the CTO:: CTO: Ah, Mister Cha`Dak. Tholian punctuality, I see. Care to join me in my office?

Host CO_Turnbull says:
CIV:  Traffic should be diverted from the area. If their courses will bring them closer to the system, contact them to clear the area.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::nods once moving towards the open doorway::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::enters the inner office and looks around::

TO_Masterson says:
@XO: It seems there was an energy surge that came from nowhere.

XO_Linard says:
@::turns abruptly in her seat and goes to the MO:: MO: Are you okay?

CMO_Naegle says:
::notices the turbolift stop and smiles:: Sonja: That's all I ask is that you talk to him.  Now let's get started. ::walks into sickbay::

Host CO_Turnbull says:
CIV:  They should be detecting the solar flares that we are detecting. That should be enough to steer them away from the area.

XO_Linard says:
@TO: Understood ... see if you can't try and find the source just the same.

MO_Sarel says:
@XO: So what time... ::jumps from an energy surge as the communications panel shoots sparks all over her::

CNS_Vekh says:
::follows the Klingon inside motioning to the couch:: CTO: Please make yourself comfortable, Lieutenant.

TO_Masterson says:
@XO: Aye ma'am.

CSO_Storal says:
*SO*: Have you started receiving telemetry from the first probe?

Sonja_Davore says:
::follows obediently behind the doctor::  CMO: Okay… ::looks around the sickbay again noting areas of sickbays that she recognizes::

TO_Masterson says:
@::scans to see if she can find where the energy surge originated from::

MO_Sarel says:
@XO: Uh ... yes, I think so. ::looks about her making sure she's not on fire::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::walks over to the couch and sits down, back straight, looking particularly uncomfortable::

OPS_Lowell says:
::adjusts course to compensate for a minor increase in solar activity::

XO_Linard says:
@MO: That was some energy surge, check and see what systems it has affected.

CNS_Vekh says:
CTO: Are you in need of any refreshment? Maybe I could get a glass of prune juice for you?

SO_Hammond says:
*CSO*: The telemetry is fine, sir.

CIV_Xavier says:
CO: Aye Captain.

CMO_Naegle says:
Sonja: Now the radiation antidote is over in the supply closet with the hyposprays. We'll need several CCs of the inoculation for the whole crew.

Sonja_Davore says:
::nods and smiles at Doctor Karl whom she recognizes from before and then turns back to the CMO:: CMO: Okay ... doctor?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CNS: No thank you, Commander. I have not yet acquired a taste for prune juice.

SO_Hammond says:
::checks on readings from the probe::

MO_Sarel says:
@XO: It sure was. ::checks out the damage::

CSO_Storal says:
*SO*: Forward the readings to the Doctor Mruil in Main Science.

Host CO_Turnbull says:
CSO:  Are you reading anything from the probes?

SO_Hammond says:
*CSO*: Aye sir. ::forwards the readings to main science::

TO_Masterson says:
@XO: I cannot locate its origins, sir.

CNS_Vekh says:
CTO: That's fine then, Mister Cha`Dak. Lets move on. I know this is against Klingon beliefs but I'll try to make this appointment as painless as possible.

CSO_Storal says:
CO: The results are just coming in … the Hypernova is proceeding as expected.

OPS_Lowell says:
CSO: Estimated time until the star goes Nova?

Host CO_Turnbull says:
::nods:: CSO: Good, the last thing we need with this mission is surprises.

XO_Linard says:
@TO: Well, I can't see it appearing from out of the blue. There has to be a reason, let me know when you find something.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::raises one eyebrow::

TO_Masterson says:
@XO: Aye ma'am.

CSO_Storal says:
OPS: If everything goes as expected, no more than a day.

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
::fiddling with the sensors down in the Main Science Lab:: *CSO*: Should that vessel be there?

CMO_Naegle says:
Karl: Doctor Karl, once she gets the first hyposprays filled, take them to the bridge crew and inoculate them first.

OPS_Lowell says:
CSO: I take it that is a big if?

MO_Sarel says:
@XO: Systems are fine inside, I wonder if there's any damage to the outside.

MO_Karl says:
CMO: Yes, Doctor.

CSO_Storal says:
:: hears the Doctor:: *Mruil*: Say that again?

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
ACTION: Almost as soon as Linard says 'reason' the shuttle inexplicably lurches to the right ... then the left ... then the right again. The crewmembers inside are tossed about viciously.

XO_Linard says:
@MO: Well let's take a look shall we? ::grabs her console to maintain her balance and is almost thrown out of her chair::

CNS_Vekh says:
CTO: I took the liberty of reviewing some of the exploits of your father, K'harenh during the time he served under Captain Mokhtan.

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
::uploads his sensor panel to Science One on the bridge:: *CSO*: That shuttle ... near the corona of the star. It seems awfully close to me. Did you launch it? Ingenious method of sending in a probe ... encased in a shuttle.

OPS_Lowell says:
::hears Doctor Mruil say something about a ship and checks his sensors::

MO_Sarel says:
@::gets thrown about::

CSO_Storal says:
CO: Sir, there is a shuttle near the corona of the star.

CMO_Naegle says:
::fixes the first batch of hyposprays and gives them to Karl::

XO_Linard says:
@::tries to regain the inertial dampening field and control of the runabout::

CSO_Storal says:
*Mruil*: We didn’t launch any shuttle.

Host CO_Turnbull says:
::turns her head to look toward science:: OPS:  See if you can contact that shuttle, warn them to get out of the area.

CNS_Vekh says:
CTO: How do you feel about being the son of a renowned Klingon warrior?

OPS_Lowell says:
CO: Aye sir.

CSO_Storal says:
CIV: Identify that shuttle!

MO_Karl says:
::takes the hyposprays and proceeds out of sickbay to the nearest turbolift::

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
ACTION: The runabout lurches against Linard's movements and begins to vibrate terribly as if it is being pelted with something. Eventually it spins out of control throwing them all to the ground.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CNS_Vekh: I am proud to be so, Commander.

CSO_Storal says:
CEO: Are the modifications on the shields finished?

MO_Sarel says:
@::look around:: All: Everyone okay?

MO_Karl says:
TL: Bridge!

OPS_Lowell says:
COMM: Shuttle: Unknown shuttle, this is the USS Apache. We recommend you back away from the star. It is expected to go Hypernova in a short time frame.

CNS_Vekh says:
CTO: And should I assume that you wake up every day and do your best to honor your family name, right?

Host CO_Turnbull says:
CIV:  Are you picking up the shuttle as well?

XO_Linard says:
@::tries desperately to find something to hang on to::

TO_Masterson says:
@MO: Fine.

CEO_Yeung says:
::finishes applying modifications:: CSO: Finished just right now, sir.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::K`hora pauses for a moment and then asks:: CNS: What are you implying, Commander?

MO_Karl says:
::feels turbolift stop and exits onto bridge:: CO: I have the first batch of inoculations, Captain.

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
ACTION: As Mruil sends up his data the tactical sensors pick up the shuttle. It is a small shuttle of Cardassian design. Sensors do not immediately detect any lifesigns aboard.

CSO_Storal says:
CEO: Good work.

XO_Linard says:
@MO/TO: I'll be okay as soon as my stomach stops spinning too.

MO_Sarel says:
@::thrown to the ground as the runabout jerks about wildly::

Host CO_Turnbull says:
Karl:  Excellent Doctor Karl, you may begin immediately.

CNS_Vekh says:
::mentally takes note of Cha`Dak’s reaction to mentions about his family::

TO_Masterson says:
@::climbs back into her chair::

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
ACTION: Aboard the runabout there is a sudden calming of motion...

Host CO_Turnbull says:
OPS: Any response from the shuttle?

OPS_Lowell says:
CO: Not as of yet, Captain.

CNS_Vekh says:
CTO: I'm implying nothing, Lieutenant. What possibly could I be implying?

MO_Karl says:
CO: Might as well start at the top, Sir?

XO_Linard says:
@::feels the runabout stop shaking and tries to find out what's going on::

MO_Sarel says:
@::tries to crawl back up onto her chair::

Host CO_Turnbull says:
OPS:  Keep trying.

OPS_Lowell says:
::sends the message again::

Host CO_Turnbull says:
::nods:: Karl:  Yes, by all means.

CSO_Storal says:
CO: Sir, the flare activity may be inhibiting communications.

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
ACTION: Most of the systems aboard the runabout are damaged and not registering reliable data. Linard would likely have more information if she opened a window and looked out.

OPS_Lowell says:
CO: Aye sir.

MO_Sarel says:
@::keeps her medkit close by just in case::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::frowns slightly starting to get confused:: CNS: Counselor, I wake up every morning with the intention of bringing honor not only to the name of my father, but to the name of my ship as well.

MO_Karl says:
::inoculates the captain::

CNS_Vekh says:
CTO: That's good to know, Mister Cha`Dak. Let's then talk about career choices.

CSO_Storal says:
OPS: Try using the frequency of the first probe that we launched. We can use the probe as a relay. You may have better luck.

CMO_Naegle says:
::inoculates the rest of the bridge crew::

Sonja_Davore says:
::helps the nearby doctors and nurses to get the rest of the hyposprays ready::

OPS_Lowell says:
CO: Sir, the shuttle is not responding to hails and there does not appear to be any life signs onboard.

CSO_Storal says:
*SO*: Launch the next probe.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::nods his head in acquiescence::

SO_Hammond says:
::launches the next probe:: *CSO*: It's on it's way, sir.

OPS_Lowell says:
CSO: I'll try. ::uses the probe as a relay to boost the signal carrier::

XO_Linard says:
@TO/MO: Okay guys; time to bring up on your engineering skills. Let's see if we can get something out of this runabout.

Host CO_Turnbull says:
OPS:  Could the solar flares be interfering with our sensors as well as the communications?

CNS_Vekh says:
CTO: If I'm not mistaken, your choice was to attend Starfleet Academy over the Klingon equivalent. Why was that? Hadn’t your Father asked you to join the Klingon Academy?

TO_Masterson says:
@XO: Aye sir.

XO_Linard says:
@::ducks under the main console and opens the panel trying to figure out what's going on::

MO_Sarel says:
@ XO: Engineering skills? Okay … yes sir.

TO_Masterson says:
@XO: What first?

XO_Linard says:
@::smirks at the MO:: MO: Surely you studied some engineering at Starfleet medical?

OPS_Lowell says:
::hesitates:: CO: It's possible, but the Engineering department calibrated them just before we arrived in system. There seems to be little doubt that they are receiving our signal. However, there are no lifesigns aboard. There may simply be no one there to respond.

CSO_Storal says:
*SO*: I need you to scan the first couple of planets for lifesigns.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CNS: My father was not particularly bothered whether it was Starfleet or the Klingon Empire. They have been allies for some time now. ::in a low, quiet, tone of voice:: It was my choice of career he objected to.

TO_Masterson says:
@::pops fingers:: Self: Now this, I'm good at.

XO_Linard says:
@TO: Well, for starters, check the sensor relays and the sensor pallets. I have a feeling a lot of them are burned out. See if we can at least find something we could use to fix the Com panel.

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
ACTION: As those in the Runabout begin to gather themselves again there is a loud crash as if the shuttle had slammed into something. They are thrown to the ground again; this time with minor injuries, and the sounds of the shuttle crashing through something is heard.

Host CO_Turnbull says:
OPS:  Understood Lieutenant.

TO_Masterson says:
@::hits the ground::

SO_Hammond says:
*CSO*: Aye sir.  ::begins scanning the first couple of planets for any lifesigns::

CNS_Vekh says:
::notes the change in mood:: CTO: Indeed, Mister Cha`Dak. Do you care to enlighten me on that topic?

XO_Linard says:
@::is thrown against the console on the floor and slams hard against the wall::

TO_Masterson says:
@::looks around:: XO/MO: Everyone ok?

MO_Sarel says:
@XO: Hey, I'm a master. ::gets tossed and bumped around again and thrown to the ground hard::

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
ACTION: Simultaneously, a blue haze fills the runabout and engulfs each of the members of the runabout crew. It fills their senses and causes MO Sarel to go into a terrible sneezing fit as each drifts in and out of consciousness from the violent impact.

CMO_Naegle says:
*Sonja*: Cadet, have you finished with the rest of the hyposprays?

OPS_Lowell says:
CO: Sir, permission to take one of our own shuttles to retrieve the Cardassian shuttle?

Sonja_Davore says:
::gathers up the hyposprays and looks at Medic Joe Schmoe for next instruction::  *CMO*: Yes, we're just about to disperse it to the rest of the ship.

XO_Linard says:
@TO/MO: I … my shoulder... ::fights to keep her wits about her as she struggles to get to environmental controls::

XO_Linard says:
@::heads for a nearby locker and grabs rebreather masks for her crew::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::takes a deep breath, resigning himself to opening up a little for the counselor:: CNS: Klingons do not look favorably upon healers. A Klingon would rather die from his wounds taken in battle, than be healed. I find this a senseless attitude amongst my people. 

MO_Sarel says:
@TO: Uh ... let me see that first. ::grunts with a bit of pain in her leg::

CSO_Storal says:
CO: Sir, a shuttle wouldn’t make it. The Apache would have to go.

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
ACTION: As Commander Linard struggles up into one of the runabouts chairs she sees that oxygen is very quickly leaking out of their environment.

Host CO_Turnbull says:
OPS:  How long would it take for us to intercept the shuttle?

CMO_Naegle says:
*Sonja*: Good enough, you and Ensign Schmoe can go ahead and do that.  I want to monitor things from the bridge for the time being.

MO_Schmoe says:
*CMO*: I'll take Sonja and go to deck 12 and below.

MO_Sarel says:
@::goes to the XO:: XO: Sir, let me take a look at your shoulder.

TO_Masterson says:
@XO/MO: Maybe we should call for help?

Sonja_Davore says:
*CMO*: Okay.  ::looks at Medic Schmoe::  I understand.

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
ACTION: As the MO looks at the XO she realizes she has no idea who this person is...

OPS_Lowell says:
CO: Captain, there is no reason to risk the entire crew. We can use metaphasic shielding to boost the Shuttle's shields. It wouldn't last long but it should be long enough.

CMO_Naegle says:
*Schmoe*: Thank you, Joe.

XO_Linard says:
@MO: Never mind that, get an oxygen mask. We're losing air. You too! ::nods to the TO::

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
ACTION: And the XO fails to be able to come up with a name to go with the face of the MO. Have they met? For that matter, the XO can't seem to remember her own name.

MO_Sarel says:
@::has a sneezing fit, can't stop sneezing::

CNS_Vekh says:
::nods at the CTO briefly reminding himself how Orion’s would regard healers if there were healers among the Orion’s:: CTO: That's a fascinating point, Mister Cha`Dak. Am I to understand that you do not particularly share this belief? If I'm correct, you chose a career at Starfleet Medical at first.

MO_Sarel says:
@::takes a second glance at the XO:: XO: What ... um ... who are you?

XO_Linard says:
@::sits there dazed for a moment::

TO_Masterson says:
@::gets up to her console and attempts to open a channel::

XO_Linard says:
@MO: I was about to ask you the same thing…?

TO_Masterson says:
@XO: What do you want me to say?

Host CO_Turnbull says:
OPS: One of the Apache’s shuttles would not have the power to retrieve the Cardassian shuttle.  If we are going to retrieve the shuttle and it's crew we'll have to go in, as Commander Storal stated.  Now what is the time factor that we are looking at?

CMO_Naegle says:
::goes to a science station to monitor things after giving herself an inoculation::

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
ACTION: As the TO tries to open a channel she realizes that while she has no idea who she is, or who the others are, they all clearly still know how to operate the equipment and technology around them.

OPS_Lowell says:
CO: Do you want to micro-jump with the Warp drive or not?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::stands up from the couch and begins slowly pacing around the room glancing at different object, his hands behind his back:: CNS: I have always believed that saving a life is more honorable than losing one.

MO_Schmoe says:
All: Inoculate yourselves. ::taps a hypospray to his neck::  And now, we are ready to go.  Sonja, you’re with me.

XO_Linard says:
@::finds the air getting thinner:: TO/MO: Oxygen ... I need oxygen.

Host CO_Turnbull says:
OPS:  Are we not too close to the star to initiate even a micro-jump?

MO_Sarel says:
@::looks around at the blue hazy stuff in the air:: XO: Well, whoever you are ... we seem to be in trouble.

XO_Linard says:
@::gets to a compartment and gets the masks so everyone can breathe::

Sonja_Davore says:
Schmoe: Aye sir. ::injects herself as well and crosses her fingers hoping she did it right::

TO_Masterson says:
@XO/MO: I have no idea who either one of you is, but we need to pull together temporarily to try and get some help to us … before we die.

OPS_Lowell says:
CO: No, sir. I can get us to within a few hundred kilometers.

CSO_Storal says:
CO: Sir, we can do it without a problem. We just can’t linger.

Host CO_Turnbull says:
OPS:  Prepare the course and engage, we need to get that shuttle away from there.

Host CO_Turnbull says:
CSO:  Thank you commander.

OPS_Lowell says:
CO: Aye sir. ::engages impulse drive::

XO_Linard says:
@TO/MO: Agreed, does anyone know where we are?

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
ACTION: The environmental controls of the runabout indicate that the oxygen is leaking out through a rear compartment. It is likely a very small hull breach.

OPS_Lowell says:
::makes sure the emergency exit vectors are within easy reach::

CNS_Vekh says:
CTO: Yet, after your brilliant starting career as CMO on the QIb, you took a leave of absence, returning some time after and then requesting a transfer to Tactical.

OPS_Lowell says:
CO: At impulse speeds we will be there in 36.4 seconds.

CNS_Vekh says:
CTO: Isn't that quite ambiguous?

TO_Masterson says:
@XO/MO: First I think someone should try to patch the air leak.  I'll try and send out a distress call.

OPS_Lowell says:
CO: Preparing to initiate tractor beam.

Sonja_Davore says:
::follows Schmoe out of sickbay with her own quick steps trying to keep up with Schmoe’s fast, determined, strides::

Host CO_Turnbull says:
OPS:  Understood Lieutenant.

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
ACTION: The outer hull temperature of the Apache rises as they grow nearer the star.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::stops and turns to look at the counselor:: CNS: Ambiguous?

CSO_Storal says:
*SO*: Any lifesigns on the planets?

XO_Linard says:
@TO: Agreed. ::looks at the MO:: MO: Try and fix that leak!

OPS_Lowell says:
CEO: Hull temperature increasing ... 30,000 Kelvin.

CMO_Naegle says:
CO: Our hull temperature is rising, Captain.

MO_Schmoe says:
Sonja: We must hurry...

Sonja_Davore says:
::nods::

CEO_Yeung says:
::monitors temperature rising:: OPS: Aye, boosting power to the shields.

SO_Hammond says:
*CSO*: I'm not picking up any, sir.  The planets are uninhabited.

OPS_Lowell says:
::nods to the CEO::

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
ACTION: The Apache arrives well within range of the Cardassian Shuttle.

MO_Schmoe says:
Sonja: All right, you take that corridor and I’ll take this one. ::points to another one:: Sonja: …and then we'll meet on the other side.

CNS_Vekh says:
::faces the CTO serenely:: CTO: Don't you agree, Lieutenant? Medical and Tactical have rather opposite profiles.

CMO_Naegle says:
::watches the engineer and OPS do their work::

OPS_Lowell says:
CO: Initiating tractor beam… ::presses the appropriate buttons::

Host CO_Turnbull says:
::nods to the CMO::  OPS: Tractor the shuttle and take us back to our previous position.

CSO_Storal says:
*SO*: Acknowledged … continue to monitor the science probes.

Sonja_Davore says:
::nods:: Schmoe: Aye sir.   ::begins her trip down the corridor::

OPS_Lowell says:
CO: Aye sir.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::resumes his pacing, moving to look at a picture hanging on the wall:: CNS: My rites of Ascension ... that is why I requested a Leave of Absence.

MO_Schmoe says:
::feels funny that someone is addressing him as "sir".... and then heads down his end of the corridor::

SO_Hammond says:
*CSO*: Will do, sir. ::continues monitoring the probes::

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
ACTION: The tractor beam takes hold of the shuttle and moves it towards the shuttle bay where the smaller launching tractor beams take hold of it.

CEO_Yeung says:
CO: Increasing coolant distribution throughout the hull. ::executes::

MO_Sarel says:
@::attempts to fix the leak::

OPS_Lowell says:
CO: Returning to previous position... ::engages impulse drive::

CNS_Vekh says:
CTO: I know of Klingon Rites. How has it influenced you in your change of career choice?

CNS_Vekh says:
CTO: You can speak freely, Lieutenant.

XO_Linard says:
@::wonders what to do next, still trying to remember who and where she is::

Host CO_Turnbull says:
CEO:  Try to keep the coolant levels even Commander, we should be away from the star within minutes.

CEO_Yeung says:
CO: Aye captain.

CSO_Storal says:
CO: Do you want us to take a look at the shuttle?

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
ACTION: The Cardassian shuttle is secured in the main shuttle bay.

OPS_Lowell says:
CO: Sir, I would send a Security team and an Engineering team to meet the Cardie Shuttle in the shuttlebay.

CIV_Xavier says:
CO: Permission to go to the shuttlebay?

TO_Masterson says:
@::tries to figure out why the Com system does not work::

Host CO_Turnbull says:
CSO/CEO:  Have a team report to the shuttlebay to examine the shuttle, take a security team with you.

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
ACTION: Aft shields weaken significantly, as an ODN conduit blows up somewhere in the ship and the power drains slightly.

XO_Linard says:
@TO: Did you send out a distress beacon?

CEO_Yeung says:
CO: Understood.

CSO_Storal says:
*SO*: I want to you take a look at the Cardassian Shuttle … do not enter it until security arrives.

Host CO_Turnbull says:
CIV:  Either yourself of Ens. Verall needs to remain at Tactical, if you with to accompany the team to the shuttlebay, have Ens. Verall report here first.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::turns to look at Drayan from across the room, arms now folded on his chest. He obviously seems reluctant to let this piece of information go:: CNS: I believe it has influenced me in the realization that it would be more 'appropriate' for me to follow in my father's footsteps. Why must we discuss him, of all people?

TO_Masterson says:
@XO: No I have not.  Will you while I try and get the ship running again?

OPS_Lowell says:
CO: Sir, we lost an ODN Conduit. Aft shields weakening!

CIV_Xavier says:
*TO_Verall*: Please come to the bridge and take over tactical.

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
ACTION: Verall steps out of the turbolift onto the bridge...

XO_Linard says:
@TO: Very well then.

SO_Hammond says:
*CSO*: Aye sir, on my way. ::enters the TL::

Host CO_Turnbull says:
CEO: Have a team begin repairs on the ODN conduit immediately.

CEO_Yeung says:
::frowns and bypasses the damaged ODN conduit for the shields::

SO_Hammond says:
TL: Main shuttlebay.

Host CO_Turnbull says:
OPS:  Try to redistribute power to stabilize the aft shields.

OPS_Lowell says:
::assesses damage to all decks::

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
ACTION: Apache moves well beyond the danger area and settles back into her previous position.

XO_Linard says:
@::prepares the message and sends out a distress transmission:: TO/MO: I hope someone hears this.

CIV_Xavier says:
::hurries to the second turbolift and heads for the main shuttlebay with a stop at the armory to grab a phaser rifle::

OPS_Lowell says:
CO: Working on it, Captain.

CNS_Vekh says:
CTO: Exactly, because I feel there's something in your relationship with your father. What is the problem, Mister Cha`Dak?

OPS_Lowell says:
::begins to redistribute power::

CMO_Naegle says:
::watches all this from the bridge and hopes her teams are all right::

Sonja_Davore says:
::inoculates everyone she sees and chimes the doors to inoculate the occupants::

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
ACTION: Amazingly, aboard the runabout, the FRIED Com panel REMAINS fried and does not work.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::grumbles:: CNS: I thought that was your job, Commander.

CEO_Yeung says:
::nods at CO:: *EO_Caillau*: Ensign we have a damaged ODN circuit. Take a team to repair it.

SO_Hammond says:
::exits the turbolift and waits for the security team to show up::

CMO_Naegle says:
*Sonja*: How are the inoculations coming, Cadet?

EO_Caillau says:
*CEO*: Yes sir, I'll get right on it.

Sonja_Davore says:
*CMO*: It's coming sir, almost finished deck 10.

CIV_Xavier says:
::walks towards the shuttlebay with the phaser rifle in primary position::

OPS_Lowell says:
CO: Aft shields stabilized, they are at 52% of nominal.

MO_Sarel says:
@TO/XO: Here, I am going to give us all a hypo to make breathing a bit easier for the time being until I weld that leak. ::gives them and herself a hypo injection::

TO_Masterson says:
@XO: Now that's why I haven't sent anything out.

CMO_Naegle says:
*Sonja*: Okay.

MO_Sarel says:
@::gets out her handy welding thing and fires it up::

CNS_Vekh says:
::gets up from his desk and stands in front of the Klingon just a couple of inches smaller than the CTO:: CTO: My job, Lieutenant, is to make sure nothing and no one's performance threatens the ships security.

Host CO_Turnbull says:
OPS:  Engineering has a team working to repair the conduit; shield strength should be back to normal then.

SO_Hammond says:
::nods at the CIV approaching:: CIV: You ready?

CIV_Xavier says:
::looks over to the SO and opens the door to the Shuttlebay::

CEO_Yeung says:
*Engineers*: Meet up with a security team, and head to the shuttlebay. We've got a damaged shuttle waiting.

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
ACTION: Xavier and her Security Team arrive in the shuttlebay to find the Engineering team waiting for them.

OPS_Lowell says:
CO: Aye sir.

XO_Linard says:
@::sighs frustratedly, and shakes her head::

CNS_Vekh says:
CTO: You can think of it as a variation of your own job as Chief Tactical Officer.

CIV_Xavier says:
::motions two security officers to the right, the other two to the left::

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
ACTION: Linard develops an awful headache.

Sonja_Davore says:
*CMO*: I'm going into the Enlisted Mess Hall on this deck now. ::walks into the mess hall, and explains the situation before beginning her job::

SO_Hammond says:
::follows in after the security teams looking over the shuttle::

CIV_Xavier says:
Aloud: Cover me.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::a shutter seems to go down behind K’hora’s eyes and he straightens slightly, arms falling to his sides:: CNS: Aye, Commander.

CIV_Xavier says:
::tries the door of the shuttle and finds its sealed::

CMO_Naegle says:
*Sonja*: Understood.  I'm going back to sickbay to monitor from there.  I seem to be getting in the way here.

XO_Linard says:
@::rubs her temples and winces slightly::

CIV_Xavier says:
::puts a small charge on the hatch ::

MO_Sarel says:
@::almost done fixing the leak:: TO/XO: Don't worry, it’s just about fixed here.

Sonja_Davore says:
*CMO*: Yes, ma'am.  Davore out.

CIV_Xavier says:
::walks away and detonates the charge::

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
ACTION: Sarel puts a cork in it.

Host CO_Turnbull says:
CMO:  Have sickbay prepare to receive any occupants of the shuttle.

CNS_Vekh says:
CTO: Lieutenant, I think our time is up. I have everything I need to update your profile for now. ::goes behind his desk again::

TO_Masterson says:
@MO: I'm not ‘worried’.

XO_Linard says:
@MO: Good, at least we won't suffocate.

Sonja_Davore says:
::finishes her round in the mess hall, and exits::

XO_Linard says:
@TO/MO: ...yet...

CIV_Xavier says:
::motions to the SO and two security crew to follow her::

Sonja_Davore says:
::sees Schmoe:: Schmoe: I'm done over here, sir.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CNS: Will that be all, Commander?

CMO_Naegle says:
::hears the captain as she walks out to the turbolift:: CO: Yes sir, on my way there now.

TO_Masterson says:
@::looks at the XO:: XO: Don't talk like that.

CNS_Vekh says:
CTO: If there's anything you want to talk about, be it to the Ship’s Counselor or to Drayan Vekh, I'll be around Mister Cha`Dak.

SO_Hammond says:
CIV: Why did you blow the door open?

CIV_Xavier says:
::slowly enters the shuttle with her rifle ready::

Host CO_Turnbull says:
::nods:: CMO: Excellent, Commander.

MO_Schmoe says:
Sonja: Good, me too. Next deck. ::walks into the turbolift:: I have also dispatched more people below these decks, so we should be done when deck 11 is covered.

CMO_Naegle says:
TL: Deck Nine!

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
ACTION: The hatch to the shuttle, in the Apache's shuttlebay, flies opens with a mighty hiss of sucking in oxygen. The atmosphere inside was clearly very low on oxygen.

CNS_Vekh says:
CTO: Yes, that's all for now. Thank you for your cooperation.

MO_Sarel says:
@::sighs heavily as she seals off the leak:: TO/XO: Okay, we’re cool now. The leak is fixed.

XO_Linard says:
@TO: It was just an attempt at humor; I don’t plan on dying here.

SO_Hammond says:
::walks into the shuttle looking around for survivors::

CIV_Xavier says:
::shines a light around the shuttle::

EO_Belron says:
::waits for the security team to lock down the shuttle::

MO_Sarel says:
@TO: Yes, I agree. Today is not a good day to die.

TO_Masterson says:
@XO/MO: Now that that is fixed, let's try and attempt to fix this runabout.

CSO_Storal says:
::continues to monitor the star::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::nods, his demeanor a little less cross as he exits the counselors office, walking past Lieutenant Kawan without a second glance::

CIV_Xavier says:
::heads for the flight deck of the shuttle::

Host CO_Turnbull says:
CSO: What information are you receiving from the probes?  Any trace of the Gamma rays that Starfleet is hoping to capture?

Sonja_Davore says:
::walks off into Deck 11 and looks over at Schmoe for her silent orders::

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
ACTION: The XO, TO, and MO now find themselves sitting in a darkened shuttle lying on a large rock in space … with little to do.

Sonja_Davore says:
::nods and then heads off to one end of the corridor::

CNS_Kawan says:
::watches as the CTO leaves in a hurry::

CIV_Xavier says:
::slowly proceeds to the flight deck::

SO_Hammond says:
::follows up behind the CIV looking around::

CIV_Xavier says:
SO: I think its empty.

CMO_Naegle says:
::exits turbolift and enters sickbay:: *Schmoe/Davore*: Ensign Schmoe, and Cadet Davore, when you get done I need you back in sickbay as soon as possible!

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::enters the turbolift:: TL: Bridge.

CSO_Storal says:
CO: Well, we are starting to encounter increased levels of gamma radiation. But normal, we should start seeing the results we are looking for in the next couple of hours.

OPS_Lowell says:
::keeps an eye on sensors and the course of the Apache::

SO_Hammond says:
CIV: Let’s make sure … we don’t want any surprises.

Sonja_Davore says:
*CMO*: Aye ma'am. ::inoculates a 10 year old human that is onboard::

MO_Schmoe says:
*CMO*: Understood.

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
ACTION: As Xavier steps up onto the flight deck of the shuttle, he comes across a rather large Cardassian male. His features are indistinguishable as it is clear that radiation has taken its toll on this person in a severe way.

Host Doctor_Mruil says:
