 Rich says:
@Stronac says: COM: Apache: We should be able to hold life support for about 48 hours maybe longer if we can get some of the other systems back on line. However Captain our medical staff is under a lot of stress and claim that if we don't get some help in 36 hours we will start losing some of the more seriously wounded.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Anzac: Commander we are changing course and speed to render aide

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Captain, that ship is near a nebula, I believe Commander Mrlr mentioned it. It's not far off our course.
 Rich says:
@Captain_Hsur says COM: Apache: Roger I have received the same distress call. Be advised that we will more than likely be 6 hours behind your ETA as we can’t maintain Warp 9 for more than 18 hours.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: You are full of good news aren’t you Hope? :: smirks ::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: shrugs :: CO: I try sir.

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
CO: Did you feel that?
:: smiles:: CO: I’ll send the word out
:: sends message to ME to investigate the problem::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: checks the warp readings ::

 Rich says:
EO_Wrench says *XO*: Sir we have found the problem however we cant fix it till we drop out of warp and then it will more than likely take 12 hours to fix.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Warp readings are nominal sir.

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
*EO*: Understood I’ll let the skipper know

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
CO: Skipper we need to drop out of warp to fix our vibration

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Take us down to impulse

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Aye sir, going to impulse. :: taps the control button and drops the Apache to impulse::

XO: Do so Wolf

 Rich says:
@Stronac says COM: Apache: Roger just how late Cmdr we can’t hold out forever you know.

 Rich says:
#Hsur says COM: Apache: Captain what seems to be the problem?

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
COM: Stronac: Possibly 12 hours. We have a problem that requires us to drop out of warp

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: looks at Wolf concern on her face ::

 Rich says:
@Stronac says COM: Apache: Roger we will do our best lets jut hope we don't lose any more personal before you can get here.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Hsur: We have a vibration that has causes us to drop to impulse
 Rich says:
#Hsur says: COM: Apache: Understood do you wish us to continue on to the distress call or stay with you?

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Stronac: We will do our best to get back up to warp,

 Rich says:
EO_Wrench says: *XO*: Wrench to Cmdr Wolf.

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
*EO*: Go ahead

 Rich says:
Wrench says *XO*: Cmdr we have a problem down here the reason for the vibration was caused by some relays that weren't working in speck. The problem is that the damage done to them was deliberate.

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
*EO*: Understood. I’ll dispatch security to look into it. See what you can do in the meantime to fix it

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
CO: Seems we have a saboteur onboard

 Rich says:
Wrench says *XO*: roger we have started replacing them now the good news it that because we have to replace them rather than adjust them we can be done in 6 hours.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO: All non-essential crew are restricted to quarters.  We need to weed out this rat

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
*EO*: Understood. Good work

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
CO: Understood Captain

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
*CIV*: See if you can find this rat

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
*XO*: With pleasure

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: looks over at the operations station and wonders why Aeris isn't there ::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO: Have engineering make repairs and lock down all Jeffries tube hatches, command level access only
