Host Rich says:
Prologue: The USS Apache is in the Tullorus System and has just picked up an unknown object which is now gone from the sensors. Just what is out there and is it dangerous?
Host Rich says:

TO_Sekhmanek says:
::Still standing at the science console, looking over the various unfamiliar readings::
FCO_Odain says:
::In a shuttlecraft, looking for the U.S.S Apache, but is having considerable trouble finding her::
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
::stands up and walks over to the Science console::
TO_Sekhmanek says:
::Looks over at the captain.::
Host Rich says:
Action: Tactical sensor again picks up and object setting off the Red Alert klaxons again.
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
TO: Can you pull up that last reading?
TO_Sekhmanek says:
::Looks up at the red alert.:: CO: Yes, ma'am. ::Does a few things on the console to bring up the last reading.::
TO_Sekhmanek says:
::Walks over to the tactical station to check the readings there.::
TO_Sekhmanek says:
CO: Ma'am. I'm picking up a small ship incoming.
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
TO: Can you tell who it is?
TO_Sekhmanek says:
CO: Not as of yet, ma'am. The shuttle seems to be flying ill radically.
FCO_Odain says:
::Sensors pick up an object that is on course for a planet::
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
TO: Keep an eye on it, just in case.
TO_Sekhmanek says:
CO: Yes, ma'am.
TO_Sekhmanek says:
::The ship nears sensor range.:: CO: It seems to be a Starfleet shuttle. Would you like me to hail it?
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
TO: Yes please.
TO_Sekhmanek says:
::Sends a hail to the shuttle.::

FCO_Odain says:
@Com: U.S.S Apache:  Apache I am Ensign Odain, Your new Flight Control Officer. I’ve been looking everywhere for you. Permission to dock, Captain?
TO_Sekhmanek says:
::Looks to the captain.::
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
::nods:: TO: Put him in the main shuttle bay.
TO_Sekhmanek says:
CO: Aye. @COM: Shuttle: FCO: You have permission to come aboard. I'm sending you instructions for entering the main shuttle bay. ::Sends the instructions.::
FCO_Odain says:
@Com: Apache: Instructions received. Making my final approach now.
Host Rich says:
Action: The shuttle lands in the main shuttle bay with our incident.
TO_Sekhmanek says:
CO: The shuttle has entered the main bay successfully and our previous contact seems to be headed for this system's sun, ma'am.
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
TO: Hmm...I wonder what that strange reading was.
TO_Sekhmanek says:
CO: I wish I could tell you.
FCO_Odain says:
::Exits the shuttle and heads for the nearest turbo lift:: Computer: Bridge. ::The turbo lift comes to a stop at its destination::
FCO_Odain says:
::Walks toward the captain and stands at attention:: CO: Ensign Odain Reporting for duty. Here are my orders from Starfleet Ma'am. ::Hands the Captain his PADD::
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
::takes the PADD and looks it over:: FCO: Welcome aboard Ensign Odain.
TO_Sekhmanek says:
::Looks to the FCO.::
FCO_Odain says:
CO: Thank you, Captain. Permission to take my station at the helm?
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
FCO: Permission granted.
FCO_Odain says:
::Takes his seat at the helm.::
TO_Sekhmanek says:
::Looks back to his console.:: CO: Ma'am, the system seems to be made up of one water planet, one gas giant, two desert planets, an ice planet and two class M planets. The water planet is the closest to us.
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
TO: Well, let's start with the water planet.
Host Rich says:
Action: Tactical sensor again set off the Red Alert.
TO_Sekhmanek says:
::Nods.::
TO_Sekhmanek says:
::Forwards the system layout to the FCO's console.::
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
FCO: Start with an orbit of the closest planet.
FCO_Odain says:
::jumps slightly at the sound of the red alert::
FCO_Odain says:
CO: Aye, Captain. Standard Orbit.
FCO_Odain says:
::Moves the ship into Orbit over the closest planet::
CNS_Niventra says:
::walks onto the Bridge and sits down in her chair::
TO_Sekhmanek says:
CO: Ma'am, tactical sensors are picking up a Cardassian Dreadnought.
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
::makes a face:: TO: Wonderful.
CNS_Niventra says:
CO: Ah. The reason for the Red Alert...
TO_Sekhmanek says:
CO: It's heading for the sun. ETA: Ten hours.
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
TO: Have they picked us up on their sensors yet?
TO_Sekhmanek says:
CO: Not that I can tell.
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
TO: Okay. Let me know the minute that they notice us::
TO_Sekhmanek says:
CO: It's an unmanned weapon, ma'am. It won't change course unless we attack.
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
::blinks:: TO: Of course.
TO_Sekhmanek says:
::Blinks.:: CO: Ma'am... It seems that whenever this dreadnought reaches the sun, it will explode and destroy the system.
CNS_Niventra says:
CO: Suicidal Cardassians? That doesn't seem plausible...
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
TO: What?!
TO_Sekhmanek says:
CO: You heard right, ma'am.
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
TO: Why? We have to stop it. Can you target it with a photon torpedo?
TO_Sekhmanek says:
CO: We're out of range, ma'am.
FCO_Odain says:
CO: Should I lay in an intercept course, Captain?
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
TO: Aww geez. FCO: Yes. We have to stop them.
FCO_Odain says:
::Inputs commands to the console:: CO: Breaking Orbit. Captain, It will take 20 minutes to intercept at warp 9.
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
TO: Will that be in enough time to stop the explosion?
CNS_Niventra says:
CO: There must be something wrong. Maybe some kind of automated sequence. Cardassians just don't go blow themselves up.
TO_Sekhmanek says:
TO: The dreadnought won't reach the sun for another ten hours, so I'd say it's enough time.
TO_Sekhmanek says:
CNS: The dreadnought is unmanned.
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
TO: Good. Good.
CNS_Niventra says:
TO: Well, that would explain it, thank you.
TO_Sekhmanek says:
::Smiles.:: CNS: Any time.
FCO_Odain says:
CO: Course laid in at warp 9, Shall I engage?
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
FCO: Yes, engage.
FCO_Odain says:
::Gives the console the command to engage warp drive::
Host Rich says:
Action: The Apache leaves orbit and jumps to warp 9.
FCO_Odain says:
TO: Why would the Cardassians want to destroy and entire system?
TO_Sekhmanek says:
FCO: Do they need a reason?
FCO_Odain says:
::Smiles:: TO: Point taken.
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
::goes to sit back down in her chair::
Host Rich says:
