CMO_Lt_Latta says:
@::in a shuttlecraft approaching the Apache::
CEO_Wall says:
::sitting in ME office drinking Raktajino and going over the latest engineering reports::
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
::on the bridge looking at some sensors data:: AFCO: ETA to Avalon Station?
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
XO: Commander, we have a class 4 shuttle on SRS... it's Federation transponder.
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CTO: Hail it  please.
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
XO: Aye Sir. COM: Shuttle: Federation Shuttle, this is the USS Apache, please identify yourself and your destination.
AFCO_Ens_Berot says:
::Is at the helm and he presses a few buttons on his console.::  XO:  One week sir.
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
*CEO*: How's the engines status, do you think they can be put under some more pressure?
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
@COM: Apache: CTO: This is Lt. Latta. Destination: USS Apache
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
XO: The shuttle responded it is a Lt. Latta and she is coming here Sir. Are you expecting anyone?
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
::turns to the CTO:: CTO: Can you put her on speaker?
CEO_Wall says:
::puts PADD down lights up a cigar::
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Nods:: XO: On screen Sir.
AFCO_Ens_Berot says:
::Makes certain that the Apache stays on course along the projected path.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
COM: CMO:: Hello Lieutenant, we were expecting you but not so soon. ::grins:: We are ready to receive you on board.

Host Rich says:
Action: The sensor in ME picks up the heat source from the cigar and releases the sprinklers there to put it out.
CEO_Wall says:
::swears loudly::
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
XO: Fire Alarm in Main Engineering Commander.
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
@COM: Apache: XO: Jolan tru Commander. I'll be there in a few minutes ::grins::
CEO_Wall says:
*XO*: Engines are fine sir
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
*CEO*: What is happening down there?
AFCO_Ens_Berot says:
::Adjusts the ship's heading a few degrees to make up for a few spatial distortions in space.::
CEO_Wall says:
*XO*: Just a slight mishap with the extinguishers sir, nothing to worry about
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
AFCO: Ensign Berot, can you have the hangar deck ready to receive that shuttle please?
CEO_Wall says:
::looks around ME at the grins::
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
*CEO*: Good then, Ensign we are increasing speed in a few minutes. Let's try to arrive to Avalon a little earlier.
Host Rich says:
Action: With all the rushing around in ME one of the crewmen slip and crack their head on one of the consoles opening up a wide gash in it.
CEO_Wall says:
*XO*: Aye sir
AFCO_Ens_Berot says:
CTO:  Of course.  I will have them prepare for the shuttle's arrival.  ::Contacts the hangar deck and issues orders for them to get things ready for the incoming shuttle.::
CEO_Wall says:
::sees crewman hit the floor and grabs the med kit::
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
COM: Shuttle: Lt. Latta, adjust your course to 237 mark 30 and come up from astern. You'll be coming into the Main Hangar bay.
CEO_Wall says:
::grabs medical tricorder and begins to check the wound::
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CTO: I am going to the main bay to receive the new crew woman, once the shuttle is in let's go to warp nine and stretch our legs. Conn is yours Commander. ::smiles::
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
@COM: Apache: CTO: Understood. ETA 1 minute ::adjusts course::
AFCO_Ens_Berot says:
CTO:  Commander, the hangar bay has received their orders and are preparing for the shuttle's arrival.
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
AFCO: Understood. Thank you.
CEO_Wall says:
::takes out dermal regenerator and runs it over the gash::
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
XO: We are ready for the shuttle Sir, less than a minute to landing now.
AFCO_Ens_Berot says:
::Presses a few commands on the console and watches as the shuttle makes its way for the Apache.::

CMO_Lt_Latta says:
@::begins maneuvering for final approach::
CEO_Wall says:
::runs tricorder over the wounds site again::
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CTO: Perfect. Commander you have the conn. ::turns and leaves the bridge::
Host Rich says:
Action: The shuttle lands in the hanger bay with no problems
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
XO: Aye Sir, I have the Bridge. ::Remains at Tactical, but tries to look more important as she takes Command::
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
::enters the TL:: Computer: Main shuttle bay.
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::powers down and steps out of the shuttle doors, looking around::
CEO_Wall says:
::has crewman escorted to sickbay::
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
::once the TL doors open walks fast to main shuttle bay::
AFCO_Ens_Berot says:
::Receives word from the hangar deck that the shuttle has arrived without any complications.::  CTO:  I've received word that the shuttle has arrived and landed in the hangar bay.
CEO_Wall says:
::notices crewman doesn’t wake up::
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
AFCO: Thank you Ensign, resume course and speed for Avalon Station please, steady as she goes.
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
::stops, breathe and pulls a Picard maneuver before entering the shuttle bay, then enters::
CEO_Wall says:
*Sickbay*:This is ME I have a crewman down and in need of medical attention can you send someone down ASAP?
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::see the XO and looks moves suddenly as if she wanted to run and then stopped herself::
AFCO_Ens_Berot says:
::Nods.::  CTO:  Resuming previous course for Avalon Station.
AFCO_Ens_Berot says:
::Inputs the appropriate commands on his console and the ship responds accordingly.::
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Studies a comet that has appeared on sensors a moment, trying various scans on it::
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
::smiles seeing the doctor just out of the shuttle:: CMO: Welcome aboard the USS Apache Latta. uhmm Lieutenant. And congratulations for your promotion.
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::smiles, trying to be professional:: XO: Thank you Commander ::suppresses a grin::
CEO_Wall says:
*CMO*: Medical emergency in ME
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
*XO*: Commander, sorry to bother you, but we have something interesting up here. There is a comet moving through the sector, but it has an energy signature on it I can't identify using my sensors. Recommend we send a class 4 probe out to check it out.
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CMO: How was the trip? and darn back to work for you.
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
XO: Great, and for you too *CEO*: I'll be in Sick Bay in moment.
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
*:CTO*: Make it so Gina. I will guide the CMO to sickbay and I will be on my way to the bridge.
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::starts walking to a turbo lift:: XO: Lead on ::smiles::
AFCO_Ens_Berot says:
::Sees the comet that Commander Hembrook is speaking about on sensors.::
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
*XO*: Understood Sir. Hembrook out.  ::Prepared a class 4 probe and loads it, then fires it off on a course to shadow the comet and scan it from short range::
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CMO: This ship is much smaller than a Nebula, should be a short trip. ::smiles:: unfortunately.
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
XO: Work first and then...we can catch up.
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CMO: This way then:: leads the CMO to the nearest TL::
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::steps inside::
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
::once the Turbo lift door closes hugs and kisses the CMO:: CMO: I missed you.
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::kisses back:: XO: I missed you too
AFCO_Ens_Berot says:
::Keeps the ship on course while the Commander studies the strange comet.::
CEO_Wall says:
::transports the crewman to sickbay::
CEO_Wall says:
ME: Ok guys back to work lets get those engines ready
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::sighs as the lift stops:: XO: It seems we are here. No rest for the weary or wicked
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Makes notes of the sensor telemetry from the probe and transfers a feed to the Science station to let them chew on it, making some interesting notes. Puts the comet into the targeting computer as Alpha to keep track of it::
CEO_Wall says:
::turns to main engineering console and begins to prep the engines::
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CMO: Darn you look better than I remember. Next time remind me to stop the TL between decks. ::grins::
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::steps out and grins back:: XO: You do too. By the way, keep the beard ::grins and quickly walks into Sick Bay::
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
AFCO: Stand by for possible maneuvers Ensign, have a couple of evasive ready just in case.
Host Rich says:
Action: The Probes sensor suddenly over load and the probes explodes.
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
::shakes his head and follows the CMO to sick bay::
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Brings the ship to Condition Yellow as a precaution. Shields and Defense grid powered up, weapons and tractors to hot standby::
AFCO_Ens_Berot says:
CTO:  Acknowledged.  Helm standing by.  ::Licks his hand and then runs it over his baldhead and inputs some more commands into the helm.::
CEO_Wall says:
::notices alert status and channels extra power to the shields and weapons grid::
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
*XO*: Commander Polo to the bridge. Our probe just exploded out there.
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::enters to see an EO out cold on a biobed. She walks over to look at the readings::
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
*CTO*: I am on my way. Can you tell me why it exploded?
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
*XO*: Some kind of power surge in its systems Sir. What's more, the comet is a hologram, it's hiding something, but the sensors couldn't read through to what was under it. Ship is at condition two Sir.
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CMO: It seems I am needed on the bridge. Want to come up once you are done? I will introduce you to the others.
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
*CTO*: ETA to the comet?
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::salutes and grins:: XO: I'll be up as soon as I can sir.
AFCO_Ens_Berot says:
::Prepares the ship in case they need to take it closer to the comet.::
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
*XO*: Comet is not currently on a course to intersect with us Sir, it's just crossing the sector. If we were to intercept it ::does some quick figures:: it would take us 5 minutes at full impulse.
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CMO: You better. Hopefully is nothing, but something really does not want us to reach Avalon. See you later.
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::smiles as she turns back to the biobed::
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
*CTO*: for the moment let's go back to impulse we will follow at a distance until we know better what it is. ::enters the TL again::
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
*XO*: Understood. AFCO: Drop to Impulse and set a course to follow the comet. Adjust course and speed to maintain a 500,000 KM distance for safety.
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
*CEO*: Herr Wall, if you can join us on the bridge please, we may need your expertise.
CEO_Wall says:
*XO*: Ja sir I’m on my way
AFCO_Ens_Berot says:
::Presses a few commands and has the ship drop to impulse speed.  He maneuvers the ship and adjusts course to intercept the comet.::  CTO:  We'll be in range of the comet in five minutes as you indicated earlier.
CEO_Wall says:
::hands ME over to the duty EO and heads for the TL::
CEO_Wall says:
TL: Bridge
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
Self: Not too bad. Just a slight concussion. ::walks over to a cabinet and takes out a sub dermal regenerator, which she places on the place indicated by the biobed::
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
AFCO: Very well, steady as she goes.
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
::enters the bridge:: All: Report.
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
XO: Ship at Condition Yellow, 2 minutes to intercept, moving at Impulse.
CEO_Wall says:
::exits TL and heads for the engineering station::
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
XO: There is some form in the comet, but sensors are still fuzzy on what it is.
AFCO_Ens_Berot says:
::Maneuvers the ship so that it comes alongside the comet but maintains a range of five hundred thousand kilometers.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CTO: Can you compensate and give more power to the sensors?
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
CEO: Ensign, will you take Science One please, there is a large amount of data there that needs sorting out.
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::looks around Sick Bay as the regenerator does its work, checking it every few seconds::
CEO_Wall says:
XO: Aye sir
CEO_Wall says:
::heads to science one::
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
AFCO: Good maneuver Mr. Berot. Try to hail them on all frequencies.
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
XO: There was a large burst of data from the probe just before it exploded, but I haven't had time to sort it.
CEO_Wall says:
::takes seat and begins going over the data the probe collected ::
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CTO: Do you think it may be an alien vessel in some sort of disguise? I wonder why they just not limit themselves to wear fake mustaches.
AFCO_Ens_Berot says:
XO:  Hail them sir?
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
CEO: Mr. Wall, can you try a multi-spectral sweep and a phased probe to get by that clutter?
CEO_Wall says:
CTO: Aye commander
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
AFCO: If it is not a comet they may hear us.
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
XO: Whatever it is, it's not a comet Sir. I think your guess is a fair one.
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CEO: Let me know as soon as you pick up something Herr Wall.
CEO_Wall says:
::begins running scans and sets up phased probe::
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::hears a soft beep as the regenerator finishes its work::
AFCO_Ens_Berot says:
::Nods and opens hailing frequencies to the comet.::
CEO_Wall says:
Self: Hmmmmmm interesting
Host Rich says:
Action: The hails go unanswered.
AFCO_Ens_Berot says:
XO:  There is no response to our hails sir.
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
XO: I took us to Yellow Alert as a precaution Sir, the probe did explode, but so far nothing overtly hostile from the object, whatever it is. Better safe than sorry.
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
AFCO: Well we tried.
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CTO: Good job, you know how I feel about it. Keep shields and weapons energized just in case.
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Continues to monitor her Tactical instruments and systems::

CEO_Wall says:
XO: Sir it seems that the probes sensor grid was overloaded. It appears as if someone tried to download a great deal of data to the probe, which caused the grid to overload destroying the probe
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
XO: Aye Sir.
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CEO: Can we program a probe with a much larger sensors grid? Give it more capacity?
CEO_Wall says:
::begins to look at the data, the symbols on the screen appear unrecognizable::
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
XO: We could use one of the class 9 probes Sir, the ones we use for emergency log buoys.
AFCO_Ens_Berot says:
::Keeps the ship alongside the comet, making certain it doesn't drift too close or too far.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CTO: Make it so Commander.
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::attempts to wake the EO by shaking him slightly::
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
AFCO: Send a communication to Avalon, tell them we found a strange comet and we are investigating. So our arrival may be delayed.
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
XO: Aye Sir. ::Prepares a class 9 probe with empty data drive and launches it to move up and scan the comet at the same range as the first probe:: Probe away Commander.
CEO_Wall says:
XO: It would only take a few minutes to make the adjustments sir
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
::nods to the CEO:: Any luck with the data we received?
Host Rich says:
Action: the Crewman opens his eye and then closes them again.
CEO_Wall says:
XO: The UT can’t seem to come up with a translation matrix
AFCO_Ens_Berot says:
XO:  Right away.  ::Opens hailing frequencies with Avalon Station and warns them of the delay they are facing.::
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::looks at the biobed, the life signs are normal, he should be awake::
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CEO: No matching symbols in our database? Self: What is this first contact week?
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
XO: If this keeps up Sir we might want to change your name to Ulysses... at this rate it will be 10 years before you get home. ::chuckles::
CEO_Wall says:
XO: No sir no matches in the database
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
::smiles:: CTO: I'd hope not Ms Hembrook. Of the whole crew only the funny Greek made it home, and he was the CO.  ::grins::
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
XO: Looks like the form in the comet looks like a building Commander. You don't suppose this is like that library thing the 1701-D found in that comet that one time, do you?
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CEO: Insulate the data we received immediately, put them behind a firewall Ensign.
CEO_Wall says:
::runs data through the database again, reaches into pocket and takes cigar out and chomps down on it::
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CTO: Didn't they took over the ship's computer or something?
CEO_Wall says:
XO: Done sir, ::sets security firewalls up::
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Initiates Security protocols on the computers as well::
Host Rich says:
Action: The probe suddenly starts sending the Apache a great amount of info then also explodes
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
XO: Yes Sir, it fair invaded half the ship's systems before they got it sorted out.
AFCO_Ens_Berot says:
::Presses a few commands and then notices the explosion on the view screen and tries to veer the ship away from the blast.::
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::knowing that a patient with a head injury can't remain asleep, she prepares a hypo spray of light stimulant::
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CTO/CEO: If it is possible I would like to put all the data in a computer kept separated from the rest of the ship.
CEO_Wall says:
::nods::
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::injects the EO::
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
ALL: It seems we need something even bigger. But I would not send anything else until we understand what we have here.
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
XO: Looks like the same thing Sir, data overload and explosion. We could transfer the data into one of the secondary processor cores, the backups, and isolate it that way. CEO: What do you think Ensign?
Host Rich says:
Action: The EO suddenly open his eye and sits straight up then start babbling.
AFCO_Ens_Berot says:
::Realigns the ship back with the comet.::
CEO_Wall says:
::begins to isolate the data in the secondary core::
CEO_Wall says:
XO: It should work sir
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
CEO: I'll put up isolation and security protocols on access. You get a redundant firewall on it.
CEO_Wall says:
XO: It will give us the greatest chance of containment and isolation
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::jumps back a little takes his arm, speaking in a soothing manner trying to calm him and make sense of what he is saying::
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CTO: While Mr. Wall tries to keep our database uncontaminated, can you see if we have the data found by Enterprise D in our library?
Host Rich says:
Action: The Comet seems to vanish showing a large building like structure, which locks a tractor beam on the Apache and one of the Holodeck come on line.
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Sets up restricted access to the data to Command, Science, and Tactical personnel only::
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CEO: Good job lieutenant, now we gotta find a way to translate the symbols.
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
XO: I'll compare the mission records and see if it's anything-close Sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CTO: Red alert shields up, see if we can stop the tractor beam.
AFCO_Ens_Berot says:
XO:  Sir, a tractor beam has locked on to us!
CEO_Wall says:
XO: Data is secured in the secondary data core
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Pulls up LCARS and starts looking for the relevant data from the 1701-D mission::
CEO_Wall says:
Self: Here we go again
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Goes to Red Alert and then uses the ship's tractor beams to make a feedback pulse to break the other tractor beam::
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::sighs with relief as the EO starts to calm::
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
ALL: Report now.
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
XO: Trying Sir. AFCO: Be prepared to immediately jump to warp if we get free.
AFCO_Ens_Berot says:
::Nods and readies the helm to jump to warp.::
Host Rich says:
Action: The ships tractor beam suddenly overloads and goes offline.
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
AFCO:  Belay that order. I want to know what that thing is. Just evasive maneuvers Ensign.
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
XO: Our tractors just overloaded and went offline Sir, we aren't going anyplace. Request permission to open fire?
Host Rich says:
