Star Trek: Apache - Episode #19
Week #2
Mission: "Evolution"

Host Jafo says:
The crew of the Apache gathered in a conference hall aboard Starbase 366 to celebrate the wedding of Lieutenant Laurence Verall and Ensign Nadia Caillau. After the brief ceremony Captain Turnbull announced to some of the crew that she would no longer be the Captain of the Apache.

Host Jafo says:
She is being  reassigned to Starbase 64 as their new Sector Commander. As the crew headed back to the Apache to make preparations for departure a young Starfleet officer approached Captain Turnbull.  He introduced himself as Lieutenant Commander Shaun Poradin and immediately pulled a phaser attempting to assassinate Captain Turnbull.

Host Jafo says:
The quick action of Commander Linard and Lieutenant Commander Cha`Dak stopped Poradin and held him at bay until Starbase Security could take control of the situation.

Host Jafo says:
Once Captain Turnbull had said her goodbyes to the senior staff, the Apache was given clearance to leave Starbase 366 and to set course for the Argolis Cluster to begin testing of its new systems. Upon completion of the shakedown cruise, the Apache is scheduled to set course towards the Talarian\Federation\Tzenkethi border.

::smiles benignly at the EO and continues on his way past the new officer::

CNS_Lux says:
::tilts head, unconvinced:: CIV: All right...  ::waits:: Maybe if you apply the Boyse-Wiessler algorithm it'll help clear it up.

CIV_Vernius says:
CIV: Then again, maybe not...

OPS_Edgemoor says:

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Apache drops from warp as it approaches the outer edge of the Argolis Star Cluster.

CNS_Lux says:
::smiles:: CIV: Thanks.  Can you make out what it says now?

SO_Zria says:
CSO:  Shall I report to the science labs, or do you prefer that I man science one?

CIV_Vernius says:
CNS: Yes, it is just border clashes.

CEO_Yeung says:
::notices the newcomer enter Main Engineering::

Host CO_Linard says:
::feels the ship drop from warp and stands, heading out to the bridge::

FCO_Terman says:
XO: Sir, we have reached the Argolis Cluster.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::scans communication channels as the Apache enters the Argolis Cluster::

CNS_Lux says:
::nods:: CIV: Ah … nothing to worry about then, eh?

EO_Tana says:
CEO: I'm looking for someone named Yeung?

CIV_Vernius says:
CNS: Insults and the like... ::turns around:: CNS: So did you need me for something? ::offers her the seat he had put in after the episode with the former XO::

XO_Storal says:
FCO: Acknowledged, Mister Terman.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As Edgemoor scans the communication channels he receives an incoming communiqué...

TO_Tyler says:
*CEO*: I've noticed a slight phase variation with the phaser array and the computer core. Transmitting data to you now on it. ::transmits the data from his report:: *CEO*: Do you think you can compensate for it from there?

Host CO_Linard says:
::stops at the door as it opens ... smiles:: CMO: Doctor Naegle, how are you?

CSO_Hammond says:
SO: Man science two right now, we're testing out our new sensors and it would be good to have an extra person checking the systems.

CEO_Yeung says:
EO: I'm Lt Cmdr Yeung … you must be Ensign Tana?

XO_Storal says:
CO:  Sir, we have arrived at  the Argolis Cluster.

SO_Zria says:
CSO: Aye sir.  ::walks over to science two and activates the console::

CMO_Naegle says:
CO: Fine, I was just coming to see how you were doing.  I guess I'm just overly concerned.

EO_Tana says:
::slips into parade ease:: CEO: Yes sir, Ensign Kavli Tana. I've been assigned as your new Engineering Officer.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::opens the communication relays to receive the incoming transmission::

CEO_Yeung says:
::looks at his work PADD as the data arrives:: *TO*: Shouldn't be a problem, Lieutenant.

XO_Storal says:
FCO: Bring us in closer to the cluster, Ensign … the closer, the better.

TO_Tyler says:
*CEO*: Thank you sir, Tyler out.

CEO_Yeung says:
::smiles and offers his hand to the EO:: EO: Excellent. Welcome to the Apache, and to its fine team of engineers.

CSO_Hammond says:
::walks over to science one and begins going through the latest readings::

TO_Tyler says:
::turns back to his report to see if anything else is the matter::

SO_Zria says:
::begins studying the sensor readings and running a systems analysis::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
XO: Commander, we have an incoming transmission. ::checks the source::

Host CO_Linard says:
:;grins:: CMO: I appreciate your concern, Doctor. ::smiles:: But let’s not forget my medical background … I know the importance of taking it easy.

XO_Storal says:
OPS: Origin?

CNS_Lux says:
CIV: Uh … well, I was just going over the psych evaluations and I thought I’d get to work updating them.

FCO_Terman says:
XO: Aye sir, right away. ::sets a course and begins to pilot the ship closer to the cluster:: About how close do we have to get?

EO_Tana says:
::hesitates, then takes the proffered hand:: CEO: Thank you, sir. ::looks around:: This is more personnel than normally should be in Engineering. You're running tests?

CNS_Lux says:
CIV: Starting with you ... since you were so kind as to have coffee with me the other day.

CMO_Naegle says:
::speaking softly:: CO: Have you had any more episodes since you've been on the medication?

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The Apache rocks ever so slightly as it moves into the gravimetric sheer of the Argolis Cluster.

Host CO_Linard says:
::shakes her head, very relieved:: CMO: Not a single one.

TO_Tyler says:
::notices the Apache enter the Argolis Cluster, takes a look at Tactical sensors::

CEO_Yeung says:
EO: That's right. We've had a lot of repairs to complete since our last mission.

XO_Storal says:
FCO: Bring us to the event horizon of the gravimetric interference.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
XO: I cannot identify the source yet, but we got it when we dropped out of warp. ::checks the data type::

CSO_Hammond says:
::starts scanning for any anomalies in the area::

CIV_Vernius says:
CNS: Would you like to get a cup now?

Host CO_Linard says:
::braces herself slightly as the ship rocks::

XO_Storal says:
*Department Heads*:  We are at the Cluster … begin testing.

SO_Zria says:
::watches the sensor readings as they register the increases in gravimetric interference::

TO_Tyler says:
XO: Sir, Tactical sensors report that the system is clear of traffic.

EO_Tana says:
::nods knowingly:: CEO: Understood sir. The engineering team I was assigned to worked on a lot of them before I had to finish classes.

CMO_Naegle says:
::smiles, relieved:: CO: That's good.  Oh and by the way, congratulations on the promotion.

XO_Storal says:
::nods to the TO::

CNS_Lux says:
::shakes her head:: CIV: No, it’s all right. But, if you’re not too busy I would like to ask you to open yourself up to me … and answer a few questions.

CEO_Yeung says:
EO: Well, let's get started shall we. Care to handle that phase variation with the phaser arrays and the computer core?

CIV_Vernius says:
CNS: Sure, go ahead.

CEO_Yeung says:
::walks over to the master systems display::

FCO_Terman says:
XO: Yes sir… ::continues monitoring the distance from the event horizon, ready to stop when necessary::

Host CO_Linard says:
::smirks:: CMO: Thanks, it was quite a surprise ... but I'm very excited about it.

TO_Tyler says:
*Security*: Tyler to Security. Begin running battle readiness drills of all security teams. You all know what to do. Tyler out.

EO_Tana says:
::follows him:: CEO: That shouldn't be a problem. I know my way around one of these ships well enough. I did some work on the Seminole and her configuration wasn't much different.

XO_Storal says:
OPS: Lets hear it, Mister Edgemoor.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
XO: Tests reveal the data that was transmitted is Audio and visual in nature but is compressed and highly degraded. It will take some work be able to display a clear copy. 

CNS_Lux says:
CIV: Okay, make yourself comfortable. ::smiles and leans back against the consoles gently::

SO_Zria says:
::makes a few minor adjustments to the sensors::

Host CO_Linard says:
::is aware of the activity on the bridge::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::puts the degraded stream on the viewer::

CIV_Vernius says:
::settles into his chair and waits for the CNS to begin::

CSO_Hammond says:
::checks for any signs of life:: Self: Got to love tests.

XO_Storal says:
OPS: Get on it. If you need assistance have engineering or science help you.

CNS_Lux says:
CIV: Some of the questions may seem … strange, but just tell me the honest truth. Okay?

CEO_Yeung says:
::nods and smiles:: EO: Good to hear.

CIV_Vernius says:
::nods::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As the vessels moves through the Argolis Cluster and is gently buffeted by the gravimetric sheer, the ship suddenly goes to red alert.

SO_Zria says:
::turns to Lieutenant Hammond:: CSO: Sir?

Host CO_Linard says:
::steps around the CMO and heads for the bridge:: CMO: How is Mister Cha`Dak doing?

TO_Tyler says:
::edits the report on his PADD to include the phase variation in the phaser array::

CEO_Yeung says:
EO: Our computer core is brand new, latest model, so a few problems shouldn't be surprising.

CNS_Lux says:
CIV: I was reviewing your files ... and I am very impressed with your service record.  Tell me, what are the proudest goals you have ever accomplished so far?

XO_Storal says:
SO: Yes Ensign, what is it?

TO_Tyler says:
::hears the Red Alert Klaxon:: Self: What the...!

CMO_Naegle says:
CO: You'll do fine.  Now I suppose I should get back to sickbay.  I have an idea I might be needed down there.

TO_Tyler says:
::checks his sensors again::

XO_Storal says:
TO: Report!

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::nods:: XO: Science should have the tools to help us with this data… ::transfers the raw clusters to Science::

CIV_Vernius says:
::tilts his head to the side and begins to answer but is stopped short by the red alert siren::

Host CO_Linard says:
::hears the red alert and turns her attention to the TO:: TO: Why are we at Red Alert, Mister Tyler?

EO_Tana says:
::slips back into his element and traces the lines with his fingertips on the screen:: CEO: I've often thought that starbases should have the express permission of the ship's engineer before they do so much as beam a new tricorder over. ::smiles:: There, you have a buffer problem.

CNS_Lux says:
::suddenly stands up as the sudden red alert klaxon makes her jump out of her skin::

SO_Zria says:
::hears the red alert and turns her attention to the sensors trying to determine a cause::

CIV_Vernius says:
::starts typing madly::

CSO_Hammond says:
::goes through all the different sensors to test each one out::

TO_Tyler says:
CO/XO: Intruder Alert, Deck 7 ... Crewman's Lounge, sir!

SO_Zria says:
CSO: I thought I heard you say something.  My apologies.

CIV_Vernius says:
Self: What the...

CNS_Lux says:
::turns to look at the readings:

Host CO_Linard says:
TO: Dispatch security down there immediately!

CMO_Naegle says:
CO: Cha`Dak has developed an unusual low-grade fever, which could indicate an infection to the wound.  He's not a happy camper.

CSO_Hammond says:
OPS: Thanks. ::goes through the data transferred for OPS::

TO_Tyler says:
*Security*: Send two teams to the Crewman’s Lounge on Deck 7. Intruder Alert. I'm placing forcefields up in the area.

XO_Storal says:
::grins:: SO: No worries.

CEO_Yeung says:
::notices the shaking and the red alert:: EO: Nice. Work on that, I'll try to do something to ease the buffeting.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::notes how much quicker data is managed and accessed to the core and is impressed with the improvements::

CNS_Lux says:
CIV: I think we should go.

CIV_Vernius says:
::turns back to the CNS:: CNS: Lieutenant, we have a security breach on the ship, take this… :: hands her a hand phaser::

TO_Tyler says:
CO: Aye sir. Security is on their way and I'm activating forcefields on that deck.

TO_Tyler says:
::seals off the Crewman’s Lounge with forcefields::

CNS_Lux says:
::pockets it:: CIV: I'm ready to rock and roll.

FCO_Terman says:
::tries to decide whether to continue on his present course or ask for advice. He decides that if they wanted him to stop they would have told him that::

CIV_Vernius says:
::pulls his phaser rifle from its storage spot and stands:: CNS: Lets go.

Host CO_Linard says:
::nods:: TO: Find out who or what is down there.

CIV_Vernius says:
CNS: Lets get to the Crewman’s Lounge.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::grants power priority to internal security::

EO_Tana says:
::slips fully into his element:: CEO: Sure. ::pulls up the stats the computer has for the phase controller and runs them against the feedback data::

TO_Tyler says:
CO: Aye sir, right away.

CNS_Lux says:
::follows the CIV:: CIV: All right.  ::nods::  Agreed.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Rather suddenly, the Apache shifts hard to port as the gravimetric sheer of the cluster takes hold of the ship pulling it along and increasing its speed.

CEO_Yeung says:
::adjusts the deflector array and shields to resist the sheers::

TO_Tyler says:
::looks at internal sensors to see if he can pick out what the intruder is::

EO_Tana says:
::watches the sheers on sensors and grips the side of the MSD:: Self: What the heck?

CIV_Vernius says:
::stops and secures the door to Strategic Operations, then runs down the corridor to the turbolift::

CNS_Lux says:
CIV: Is it just me ... or does it seem like we're traveling at an extremely high velocity?

TO_Tyler says:
*Security*: Report! Are you in position yet?

CMO_Naegle says:
::loses footing on the bridge as she was standing in the middle of the floor::

CSO_Hammond says:
XO: Sir, we're being pulled in.

Host CO_Linard says:
FCO: Helm, report!

CNS_Lux says:
::skittles into the turbolift just as the doors close::

CIV_Vernius says:
CNS: It's not your imagination.

XO_Storal says:
::holds on to the railing::

EO_Tana says:
::glances back at the chief engineer:: CEO: I take it this isn't normal, sir?

XO_Storal says:
CSO: By what?

SO_Zria says:
::studies sensors, making the necessary adjustments::

FCO_Terman says:
::realizing that he's gone to far, Jordan pulls back hard on the controls, trying to slow down:: CO: I'm sorry ... I think I may have overcompensated.

Host CO_Linard says:
::grabs a railing for support and tries to make it to her chair::

CSO_Hammond says:
::scans the cluster looking for anything::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The gravimetric sheers of the region shift the Apache from hard to port, to hard to starboard tossing the ship into the opposite direction and causing loose items to skitter across the floor.

CIV_Vernius says:
CNS: Call the turbolift, I am going to check something. ::runs to the computer readout and accesses information on the security breach::

CEO_Yeung says:
::holds on tight:: EO: No, it isn't. Gravimetric sheers must be stronger than we originally anticipated.

Host CO_Linard says:
FCO: Well, you better think of a way to get us out of it Mister Terman.

CMO_Naegle says:
::tries to crawl to a chair but is thrown around again::

CEO_Yeung says:
::tries to grab a work tool before it falls off the console::

CSO_Hammond says:
XO: It’s the gravimetric sheer of the cluster, sir.

SO_Zria says:
::holds onto the console, trying to maintain her balance::

XO_Storal says:
::tumbles and lands against the wall:: OPS: Boost power to inertial dampeners!

CMO_Naegle says:
FCO: Terman, what are you doing?

CNS_Lux says:
CIV: I don’t' think we should separate... ::looks unconvinced, and calls the turbolift anyways::

SO_Zria says:
CSO:  Confirmed sir.

FCO_Terman says:
::attempts to turn the ship around so that he can utilize the full power of the engines:: CMO: Going in the wrong direction...

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Terman's efforts release the Apache from the gravimetric sheer and it is flying easy again.

CEO_Yeung says:
Self: Slag... ::continues to make adjustments to stabilize the ship::

EO_Tana says:
::nods in agreement and widens his stance, returning to work tracing the variance and slowly synching the phase controller and computer firing sequencer again::

CSO_Hammond says:
::thinks, Mongo is going to be in a bad mood today::

Host CO_Linard says:
CEO: Mister Yeung, we need more power to the maneuvering thrusters...

CIV_Vernius says:
CNS: I'm not going anywhere ... just checking ... found it! Security breach on Deck 7!

CEO_Yeung says:
*CO*: I'm on it, Captain.

CNS_Lux says:
::nods:: CIV: Bridge or Deck 7?

Host CO_Linard says:
::feels the ship calm down:: CEO: Belay that ... it seems we're all right.

XO_Storal says:
::picks himself up off the floor and  straightens his uniform::

CMO_Naegle says:
FCO: Sorry about that, Jordan.  I'm just not used to being tossed about.

FCO_Terman says:
::wipes his forehead:: All: Hope you had fun...

CIV_Vernius says:
CNS: Lets ask.

TO_Tyler says:
::falls back and hits his head on tactical two:: Self: Ow... ::resumes his post and continues searching for the intruder::

CMO_Naegle says:
::gets up off the floor:: CO: Are you okay, Captain?

XO_Storal says:
FCO: It wasn't your fault, Mister Terman. Bring us to a stop here.

CEO_Yeung says:
*CO*: Acknowledged, sir. I'll try to make more adjustments to the deflector array and engines to keep us stabilized.

CSO_Hammond says:
::tries to scan for patterns in the gravimetric sheer that they could avoid::

CIV_Vernius says:
CNS: Never mind, there is no time. TL: Deck 7

CNS_Lux says:
::pulls the CIV into the turbolift::

Host CO_Linard says:
:: raises her eyebrows a little:: FCO: A little too much for today, Mister Terman...

CNS_Lux says:
::thinks, I could have told you that::

Host CO_Linard says:
CEO: Thank you, Mister Yeung. It seems that we're going to be in for an interesting ride in this neck of the woods.

CIV_Vernius says:
::wonders why the CNS is giving him a dirty look::

XO_Storal says:
OPS: Any damage to the ship and or systems?

FCO_Terman says:
::stops:: XO: Aye sir, but I think it was my fault … If I'd only been a little more careful.

CNS_Lux says:
::smiles and just gives him an innocent look::  CIV: Let's move.  ::steps off on Deck 7::

EO_Tana says:
::watches the two rows of numbers tick by and then taps controls, lighting them both at the same frequency:: CEO: Phase variance resolved, sir. ::turns back toward him and stands, waiting.

Host CO_Linard says:
CMO: I'm fine Doctor, thank you. Are you okay?

CIV_Vernius says:
CNS: Right. ::heads for the security team's location::

Host CO_Linard says:
TO: What's security's status? Did they find the intruder?

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As Lux and Vernius arrive at the Crewman’s Lounge a pair of security crewmen waiting to enter the room greet them.

TO_Tyler says:
CO/XO: Sir, internal sensors show that the intruder is still locked down in the Crewman's Lounge, and Security is just outside the room right now.

CMO_Naegle says:
::cracks neck:: CO: I'm just a little stiff, but I'll be fine.

CNS_Lux says:
::follow closely behind, watching their backs::

CEO_Yeung says:
::checks and nods:: EO: Good work. I can help you with the adjustments, and keep an eye on the SIF.

Host CO_Linard says:
TO: Understood.

CNS_Lux says:
::looks at the security teams:: SEC: No luck?

OPS_Edgemoor says:
CO: An intruder is odd, how would an intruder have even gotten here? Transporter? A foreign entity in the cluster? Very odd.

SEC_Ty`vec says:
CIV/CNS: Sir, we are about to enter the site of the breach.

XO_Storal says:
CO: I guess we were shook during our shakedown. ::chuckles::

CNS_Lux says:
::takes a step back and lets the boys do their jobs, even though she too has been trained in the field::

EO_Tana says:
CEO: Aye sir. ::leaves the MSD and heads farther in to a workable console::

CMO_Naegle says:
CO/XO: I'm not sure that's what they meant by shakedown cruise.

CSO_Hammond says:
::shakes his head at the XO's comment::

SO_Zria says:
::concentrates on the systems::  CSO: All systems appear to be working normally, sir.

TO_Tyler says:
::deactivates the forcefield around the Lounge to allow the Security teams in::

CIV_Vernius says:
Security Team: Okay … let’s go in twenty second. Jones, you go in and to the right. Meera, you go in and to the left. Counselor, if you would please cover the door. Okay, follow me!

Host CO_Linard says:
OPS: I agree, especially since there aren't any ships in the area ... but we can't ignore sensors.

EO_Tana says:
::logs himself in and starts configuring the displays to show the information he was ordered to keep track of::

XO_Storal says:
CSO: How are the sensors handling it Mister Hammond?

CNS_Lux says:
CIV: Gotcha... ::takes defensive position:: The forcefield is down.

CEO_Yeung says:
::performs several system diagnostics::

Host CO_Linard says:
::looks at the XO and shakes her head::

TO_Tyler says:
*SEC Team 1*: Forcefields are down. Be careful in there, but get whoever it is, and notify me when you do.

CSO_Hammond says:
SO: Good, lets finish our test.  XO: They appear to be holding up, sir.

CNS_Lux says:
::drops her voice low:: CIV: What do you think the chances are that sensors are malfunctioning?

CMO_Naegle says:
::goes over to a console and checks on sickbay's status::

XO_Storal says:
CO: Must be the red uniform ... your sense of humor gets warped.

SO_Zria says:
::logs the sensor readings and continues monitoring the testing:: CSO:  Aye, Sir.

CIV_Vernius says:
CNS: I am hoping for zero percent … but who knows.

CIV_Vernius says:
::counts off the seconds and then charges through the door at the appointed time, jumps forward under the first cover he can find::

EO_Tana says:
::notices the computer didn't roll back the SIF amplitude on the portside after the last roll and evens them out manually::

CNS_Lux says:
*TO*: This is Counselor Lux, I recommend that a backup team be nearby, just in case.

CIV_Vernius says:
All: Go!

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The security teams rush in, waving their phaser rifles and beacons from left to right, scanning the room and seeing nothing.

CIV_Vernius says:
CNS: Counselor! Hit the Lights!

TO_Tyler says:
*CNS*: A second team is on patrol near you monitoring for any escapees, Counselor.

CNS_Lux says:
::walks in slowly, with her phaser set to stun::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
XO: I wonder how Science is doing on that transmission, the intruder came after the transmission. Those two events could be linked?

CIV_Vernius says:
::sees nothing unusual and sighs::

XO_Storal says:
CSO: Have you made any progress on the transmission?

CNS_Lux says:
Computer: Lights … eighty percent luminosity.

CIV_Vernius says:
CNS: I think we were foiled...

CMO_Naegle says:
::thinks, why am I thinking Cardassian?::

Host CO_Linard says:
::checks the console at her arm rest:: CSO: How are sensors holding up?

CNS_Lux says:
CIV: I think the engineers should take another look at their diagnostics...

TO_Tyler says:
*SEC Team 1*: Report!

CIV_Vernius says:
CNS: I'm not so sure.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As the lights come up, the shadows move around the edge of the room taking the shapes of chairs and tables and odd shapes.

CNS_Lux says:
::blinks and points:: CIV: Look!

CIV_Vernius says:
All: I want a grid search, check behind all the panels.

EO_Tana says:
::keeps monitoring the stress levels from the micro-sheers::

CIV_Vernius says:
CNS: What?

TO_Tyler says:
*CIV/CNS*: Are you getting anything?

CSO_Hammond says:
XO: I'm looking into it now, sir.  CO: The sensors are holding up, sir.

CEO_Yeung says:
::sees that there's a slight misalignment in the engine power distribution, and realigns it::

CIV_Vernius says:
*TO*: Stand by, bridge.

CNS_Lux says:
*TO*: No … just tables and chairs.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: A gravimetric sheer takes hold of the saucer section of the ship and turns it to starboard. At the same time, a shadow rushes out towards Vernius.

SO_Zria says:
CSO:  This series of tests complete, forwarding the results to your console. ::begins the next series of tests::

CIV_Vernius says:
::points his rifle at the shadows as he ducks and rolls left::

CNS_Lux says:
::shakes her head:: CIV: Just antsy I think. ... or not... ::scuttles out of the way:: *TO*: Reinforce the forcefield around this lounge.

FCO_Terman says:
::attempts to compensate, using the same tactic he used before, turning the ship around and heading further out::

EO_Tana says:
::sees the SIF readouts start to redline:: CEO: We've got high-stress in the neck junction, sir. Attempting to compensate...

XO_Storal says:
::rocks in his chair::

CIV_Vernius says:
::takes careful aim, sprawled out on the floor, and fires at the shadow::

CEO_Yeung says:
EO: Do it. ::boosts power to thrusters::

CMO_Naegle says:
::stumbles, but rolls this time::

Host CO_Linard says:
:: is jolted to one side:: XO: What was that?

TO_Tyler says:
::hangs onto the console as the ship rolls::

XO_Storal says:
CO: Most likely more sheer.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Tana is able to compensate and the hull integrity of the neck of the Apache increases as the ship settles in space. Meanwhile Vernius' phaser shot passes through the shadow caused by light coming through the windows at odd angles.  It goes on for several more meters before fracturing and spinning out in a dozen different directions like lightning. One arc strikes a security crewman in the shoulder and knocks him to the floor.

CIV_Vernius says:
::feels the ship roll again::

FCO_Terman says:
::notices that the Hull tension is building:: Self: This could really hurt...

CSO_Hammond says:
::checks on the information sent over by OPS, looking for any sign of anomalies::

CNS_Lux says:
::ducks:: CIV: Watch where you fire that thing.  ::drops and rolls and hides behind a turned over table::

XO_Storal says:
CSO: Are we too close to the  cluster or is the activity intensifying?

CNS_Lux says:
::blinks:: CIV: Did you see that?  ::ducks again::

EO_Tana says:
::watches the stress levels as they lower. Adjusts the SIF reinforcement a scoche lower to keep from making the junction too stiff:: CEO: Back in nominal range. ::looks back over his shoulder::

CIV_Vernius says:
CNS: I did, but...

CEO_Yeung says:
EO: Good call, Tana. ::nods at him::

CNS_Lux says:
::tries communicating with it:: Shadow: Who are you?

CMO_Naegle says:
::sits on the floor and just waits until the ride is over::

CIV_Vernius says:
::rolls right:: CNS: Do you have a Tricorder?

CNS_Lux says:
::peaks over the edge of the table:: CIV: Maybe it's ... dangerous.

EO_Tana says:
::returns the nod, then returns to work::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The light coming through the windows of the Crewman's lounge settle as the Apache stops changing direction.

CIV_Vernius says:
CNS: Maybe...

FCO_Terman says:
Self: Your piloting skills are gonna make you sick...

Host CO_Linard says:
::nods at Ky:: XO: Good thing it wasn't as bad...

CNS_Lux says:
CIV: No, I do not have a tricorder.  I'm a counselor, not a doctor.  ::grins::  Tricorders are not standard equipment that I carry around with me.

CIV_Vernius says:
*TO*: Activate forcefields around this room, but before you do … beam Jones to Sickbay.

CSO_Hammond says:
XO: It's the activity, sir.  I'm trying to get a pattern from the cluster so we can avoid what we need to.

SO_Zria says:
::watches the sensors spike with the activity::

XO_Storal says:
::nods back to the CO::

EO_Tana says:
::evens out the SIF generators and keeps them ten percent above normal just in case::

CIV_Vernius says:
CNS: Fat lot of help you are... ::grins and peeks out at the shadow again::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: On the bridge, the communiqué that Mister Edgemoor was trying to improve suddenly blares out loudly from the main viewscreen. Captain Turnbull's visage appears on the screen, speaking ... "Captain's log: Stardate 9908.27 ... we've launched the Apache from Starbase 366. But no sooner did we launch than the Breen...

CNS_Lux says:
::blinks and tries again::  Shadow: Hello.  I'm ... I'm Ligeia.  I apologize for the behavior of my colleague but you gave us quite a scare.

Host CO_Linard says:
TO: Have you heard from the CNS and CIV yet?

TO_Tyler says:
*CIV* Aye, report in as soon as you have something solid. ::beams Ensign Jones to Sickbay and reactivates the forcefield::

XO_Storal says:
::jumps in his chair and covers his ears:: All:  What is that?

Host CO_Linard says:
::covers her ears and winces::

CIV_Vernius says:
*TO*: Will do.

FCO_Terman says:
::winces, not expecting the loud volume::

MO_Karl says:
::watches as Jones is beamed to Sickbay::

CNS_Lux says:
*TO*: I'm trying to communicate with it.  ::forces a smile::

CEO_Yeung says:
::boosts power to maneuvering thrusters::

MO_Karl says:
Jones: A phaser wound, well ... get up there on the biobed and we'll fix you right up.

CSO_Hammond says:
::looks up at the noise:: OPS: I believe you've done it.  Self: Now if only the ringing in my ears would stop.

CIV_Vernius says:
CNS: Good luck. ::points his rifle at it again:: Meera: Throw me your Tricorder.

TO_Tyler says:
CO: I just heard from them, Captain. They are in the room, checking it over carefully. So far they have found nothing. Although Ensign Jones has experienced a minor phaser burn to his right shoulder and has just been beamed to Sickbay.

CNS_Lux says:
::peeks out from behind the table and stands up::  Shadow: We won't harm you ... right? ::glares at the CIV::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
SO: That looks like a log echo from our core! How could we have received it out here? ::checks to confirm that is in fact the transmission::

SO_Zria says:
::turns quickly as the message blares:: XO:  It appears that Lieutenant Edgemoor has managed to clear up the message.  ::matter-o-factly::

TO_Tyler says:
*CNS*: Exactly what is ... it?

CIV_Vernius says:
CNS: Not unless it gives me a reason too.

EO_Tana says:
::starts working on an algorithm as he monitors::

Host CO_Linard says:
TO: Phaser burn? I thought you said they didn't find anything?

XO_Storal says:
OPS: Tell me that wasn’t the transmission we received...

MO_Karl says:
Jones: What is it with you security types and phaser wounds anyway?

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The power cell of Mister Vernius' rifle falters and whines down out of power.

CIV_Vernius says:
*TO*: We sincerely wish we could answer that.

CNS_Lux says:
*TO*: I'm not sure. It's something that creates this really odd looking shadow.  It refracts and deflects light.  I think our phasers are useless against it.

CIV_Vernius says:
::stares at his rifle::

TO_Tyler says:
CO: That’s what they said, sir. Not sure where Mister Jackson got the injury … Mister Vernius should be able to give us a full report later.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
XO: Commander, I have my doubts.  I'm already trying to get a confirmation, sir.

MO_Karl says:
::treats Jones' wound::

CNS_Lux says:
::holds up her phaser and turns it off and throws it far from the room::  Shadow: Can you communicate with us?  Somehow?  Do you understand me?

Host CO_Linard says:
CSO: Mister Hammond, is there anyway to find these gravimetric sheers and avoid them?

CIV_Vernius says:
::feels the tricorder hit him in the forehead:: Self: OW!

SO_Zria says:
OPS:  Perhaps the message as misdirected when it was sent?  Either that or the systems are transmitting old information into space.

XO_Storal says:
OPS: Keep me posted, Lieutenant.

CMO_Naegle says:
CO: Are we going to be going through this all day, I wonder?

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The shadow moves as the relative position of the Apache to the local star changes.

CIV_Vernius says:
::picks it up and tries scanning the shadow::

Host CO_Linard says:
CMO: I certainly hope not ... if so, you could be treating the crew for space sickness.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::nods and returns to attempting to confirm the source of the data::

CSO_Hammond says:
CO: I am looking into that as we speak, sir.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The tactical sensors on the bridge cease their report of an intruder.

CIV_Vernius says:
::while using the tricorder with his left hand, hits the power pack release and allows the empty cell to fall out onto the floor as he pulls another from a pocket::

CNS_Lux says:
::looks at the shadow and then at the light coming in from the window:: CIV: Hmm...

CIV_Vernius says:
CNS: Nothing ... but it drained my power pack.

EO_Tana says:
::looks away for a second:: CEO: Commander?

CMO_Naegle says:
::chuckles:: CO: If not, then just the bridge crew for bumps bruises and the occasional broken bone.

CEO_Yeung says:
::looks up:: EO: Yes Ensign?

CNS_Lux says:
::moves to the window where the light source is coming in from and waves a hand in front of it, and watches for her shadow::

TO_Tyler says:
CO: Sir, I believe we just have a malfunction that needs to be fixed. ::notices the sensors stop reading that an intruder is present:: CO: In fact, the sensors now do not read any intruder at all.

CIV_Vernius says:
::puts the tricorder down long enough to replace the spent power pack:: CNS: I don't know about this.

TO_Tyler says:
::stands the ship down from Red Alert::

XO_Storal says:
*CEO*: Mister Yeung ... status report?

CMO_Naegle says:
CO: Do you think it's safe for me to stand up now?

Host CO_Linard says:
CMO: Have I told you I'm glad you're here... ::winks::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
XO: Back to the drawing board, I guess. That log piece is part of the unknown transmission.

EO_Tana says:
CEO: I'm working on a sine function to track the stresses on the ship from the sheers and compensate with a reverse stress level to try to keep the ship as flexible as possible. It's set to start counteracting the sheer exactly one second after so we won't be too rigid and end up stressing the superstructure.

CMO_Naegle says:
::smiles:: CO: Yes, just now.

CNS_Lux says:
CIV: I think it's harmless...  ::looks a little uncertain still and then jumps in front of the light source window and does a few jumping-jacks::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Lux's hand dances across the shadow as she interrupts the light source through the windows. The same occurs with her jumping jacks as the shadows perfectly imitate her.

CEO_Yeung says:
*XO*: There's some stressing on the SIF due to the sheers, but we're compensating for it. We're also making adjustments to help stabilize the ship.

CIV_Vernius says:
CNS: Has anyone told you that you're insane?

XO_Storal says:
OPS: Check our communication log and see if we made any transmissions unknowingly. With the new core it may just be a bug.

CMO_Naegle says:
::starts to stand up as she has been sitting on the floor for some time now::

CEO_Yeung says:
EO: Sounds good. How soon can you get it to work?

CNS_Lux says:
CIV: It's part of my job description.  ::grins:: CIV: Lieutenant Vernius, I think we were scared by a shadow. ::looks out the window pane::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: At the order of the bridge crew, the Apache stands down from Red Alert.

EO_Tana says:
::thinks:: CEO: The computer should be done with simulations in a little under three minutes. I wouldn't like to try it under fire without at least those covered.

TO_Tyler says:
*CIV/CNS*: Any news from down there?

CIV_Vernius says:
CNS: I would accept that explanation except for two things … the phaser shot and my power pack.

EO_Tana says:
::hardly notices the red light going off::

CSO_Hammond says:
::narrows down his scans in an effort to find the gravity pocket to avoid::

XO_Storal says:
TO: Status on the intruder?

Host CO_Linard says:
TO: Good. You can inform the CNS and CIV to return to their posts.

CEO_Yeung says:
::nods:: EO: We'll implement it partially just to make sure it can handle the stress.

CIV_Vernius says:
*TO*: Lieutenant, let me speak to the Captain please.

CNS_Lux says:
CIV: Elementary, my dear Alan.

CMO_Naegle says:
CO: I suppose I should get back down to Sickbay to check on Jones and Cha`Dak.

EO_Tana says:
::nods:: CEO: Yes sir. I'll inform you as soon as I get the results from the computer.

CIV_Vernius says:
CNS: Are you going to lecture me now, Ligeia?

TO_Tyler says:
CO: Sir, Lieutenant Vernius wishes to speak with you.

CNS_Lux says:
::picks up her phaser from the far end of the room, and sets it on stun::  CIV: Your light hit the window ... which caused the phaser blast to rebound around the room.

CEO_Yeung says:
::nods to EO and returns to his work::

XO_Storal says:
TO: Run a diagnostic on internal sensors, maybe it’s a faulty relay.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::nods:: XO: Aye Commander … however, I think I would have known about any outgoing communiqués by now. I did have to send all the Captain’s old files to Starbase 64, but those are highly secured and encrypted. I don’t see how this could be linked to that.

TO_Tyler says:
XO: Aye sir. ::begins the diagnostic::

CNS_Lux says:
CIV: And two ... your power pack was probably low anyways.  Somebody in tactical hasn’t been doing their job making sure all the weapons are ready.

Host CO_Linard says:
::nods at the TO:: *CIV*: Go ahead, Lieutenant.

CIV_Vernius says:
CNS: Ligeia it didn't rebound, it fractured … and I charge my power pack myself.

XO_Storal says:
OPS: I see your point. Any theories?

EO_Tana says:
::goes back to monitoring and adjusting on his own while the tests run::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::checks backlogs for any other outgoing transmissions::

CMO_Naegle says:
::walks off the bridge and onto a turbolift::

SO_Zria says:
OPS: Perhaps the instability in the system affected that transmission.

CMO_Naegle says:
CO: Call me if you need me, Captain.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Mister Tana's simulations return with favorable indicators.

CIV_Vernius says:
*CO*: Sir, I think there is something odd here in the Crewman’s Lounge.

Host CO_Linard says:
::sees the CMO leave:: CMO: I will, Doctor. Let me know how Jones is doing.

TO_Tyler says:
::reads the diagnostic report on the internal sensors::

EO_Tana says:
::hears the console beep and brings up the message:: CEO: The simulations check out, sir.

FCO_Terman says:
::considers interesting methods for reducing the stress of the sheer while keeping good control of the ship::

CNS_Lux says:
CIV: Yes it did.   We can ask the doctors about the intensity of the phaser blast that hit Jones.  You will find that it's probably about the same setting that you fired the shot at.

Host CO_Linard says:
*CIV*: Okay … give me your speculations?

CEO_Yeung says:
::nods:: EO: Give me a couple of minutes to go over them.

CMO_Naegle says:
::nods:: CO: Will do, Captain. TL: Deck 9, Sickbay!

CIV_Vernius says:
CNS: Ligeia the phaser beam fractured into many parts, that doesn't happen when you fire it against a window!

CNS_Lux says:
CIV: Maybe it's a faulty power pack.   But I don't think there's anything dangerous here. I'm not sure why the intruder alert went off though. Maybe still some glitches from the upgrade.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
SO: Ensign, what instabilities? ::speaks as if he had been insulted::

EO_Tana says:
CEO: Yes sir. ::transmits the program to his console to check over and returns to his own work::

SO_Zria says:
::begins running simulations of possible solutions for receiving logs from two years previous::

CMO_Naegle says:
::takes a deep breath while waiting to get to deck nine::

TO_Tyler says:
*CEO*: Sir, would you mind taking a look at the internal sensors? We believe there is an internal malfunction, which caused the intruder alert to occur just a short time ago.

CIV_Vernius says:
*CO*: Captain, the CNS and I saw two entirely different things...

CMO_Naegle says:
::steps off the turbolift at deck 9 and walks into sickbay to see Doctor Karl treating Ensign Jones::

CEO_Yeung says:
*TO*: All right, Lieutenant. ::begins a level 1 diagnostic on internal sensors::

SO_Zria says:
OPS:  Here within the Argolis cluster, this area of space is known for its instability.

Host CO_Linard says:
*CIV*: I see ... continue...

CIV_Vernius says:
*CO*: Perhaps it would be best if we reported in person.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As activity continues on the Apache, the ship quietly slips out the far end of the cluster with a minor thud of its deck plates.

CEO_Yeung says:
EO: Results look good, Tana. We can start implementing it.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::thought the instability in the system was referring to the new core::

CIV_Vernius says:
CNS: Will you at least agree with me to keep this room isolated from the rest of the ship for a while?

Host CO_Linard says:
*CIV*: Agreed. Report to the bridge.

CNS_Lux says:
CIV: As for it refracting into many parts ... my only explanation is that you fired it at a certain angle that caused the effect.

TO_Tyler says:
XO: Sir, request permission to go collect a report from Ensign Jones about all this.

CIV_Vernius says:
*CO*: Aye Captain.

TO_Tyler says:
XO: He was there, maybe he can shed some light on the subject.

CNS_Lux says:
CIV: Of course.  ::nods::  Until this mystery is solved, I haven’t ruled out an intruder was in here completely yet. But I find that theory unlikely.

CMO_Naegle says:
Jones: What happened down there?

SO_Zria says:
::lifts her violet eyes from her console screen long enough to see if the Lieutenant understood her meaning::

XO_Storal says:
::overhears the SO:: SO: Could they be quantum singularities. It would explain why we got a previous message?

EO_Tana says:
::looks up:: CEO: I'll start it on the neck junction, since that's where we've had the highest stress so far. ::starts configuring the computer to relinquish manual control of the SIF generators in the saucer/star drive junction::

CIV_Vernius says:
CNS: Okay, lets go report to the Captain. Meera: Keep this room isolated, I want a security team outside and a level 8 forcefield.

CEO_Yeung says:
::nods:: EO: Make sure that we can override the program right away.

CNS_Lux says:
CIV: You know, there's one bad thing disagreeing with me. ::steps out of the crewman's lounge with the CIV::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Security teams take up stations just outside the door to the crewman’s lounge ready to seal it once everyone is out.

Host CO_Linard says:
FCO: Are we clear of the Argolis Cluster yet, Mister Terman?

CIV_Vernius says:
::walks from the room after the enlisted security member acknowledges his orders:: CNS: And that is?

SO_Zria says:
::runs diagnostics to examine the XO's theory:: XO:  Perhaps sir, I'll begin an analysis.

CNS_Lux says:
CIV: I'm the counselor. ::winks::

EO_Tana says:
::works on his console and sees the buttons slip to the side and a new red button appear:: CEO: This should work as a cutoff sir, as well as voice command.

CNS_Lux says:
CIV: And I have psychological evaluations to write...

OPS_Edgemoor says:
SO: This new core sure makes it easier to access all that scientific data don't you think? ::said hoping to put his worries to rest::

CEO_Yeung says:
::nods:: EO: Good.

FCO_Terman says:
CO: Aye sir.

CIV_Vernius says:
CNS: Ah ... but Ligeia, my rifle is always charging in its base when its not being used.

CMO_Naegle says:
::walks over to her computer and starts looking at all the casualty reports coming in from all decks from the wild ride::

CIV_Vernius says:
CNS: And phaser beams don't fracture like that when they interact with glass or forcefields.

EO_Tana says:
::eyes the button, and then turns his attention to the output of the new core::

SO_Zria says:
OPS:  Aye sir.  ::reads the results of the analysis:: XO:  No sir, I’m not detecting any quantum singularities … and there is no evidence of such an event from the data analysis.

XO_Storal says:
*Department Heads*: Send your preliminary test analysis to my console.

CSO_Hammond says:
::looks over all the data collected from passing through the cluster::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::smiles at the response::

CNS_Lux says:
CIV: Perhaps we should recreate the situation in the holodeck to prove both our theories. We have to report our findings to the Captain and the Commander anyways.  What better way than to recreate it?

CIV_Vernius says:
CNS: Agreed... ::walks to the turbolift::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: In the now empty crewman's lounge ... the power cell that Mister Vernius ejected from his rifle remains laying on its side sitting on the floor. Suddenly it jiggles slightly and jumps to rest on its base.

Host Jafo says:
