Host Bafii says:
Prologue: The Arondight continues the long trip home to Earth.  After their victory against the Chaos Pirates, the Arondight crew is eager to find out what their new mission will be.  However, there is time enough for that.  Now there are still many light years to travel before arriving home.
Host Bafii says:

OPS_Rhian says:
:: at his console going over resupply lists from various departments and crew  ::
CTO_Williams says:
::At tactical leisurely reading over a PADD while leaning back in his chair::
CO_K`Beth says:
::leaning back in the command seat on the bridge watching the crew go about their tasks and the stars fly by.  For once caught up on paperwork and reports::
EO_ODonnel says:
::Stuck with his head under some paneling somewhere on deck 4 replacing a few worn out relays::
CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Are you getting the supply lists in from the department heads?
CEO_Syren says:
::in his office going over paperwork::
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: When the CSO opens a drawer, something small and furry leaps out at her.
OPS_Rhian says:
CO: Yes captain I am, and some strange requests from some of the crew
CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::jumps::  Eeekkk
CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Strange?
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The furry beast runs to a corner of the room and hides behind a few boxes.

XO_McDuggle says:
::finishes up the paper work that he was doing and goes to the replicator and gets himself some coffee::
CTO_Williams says:
::Listens in on the OPS and CO's conversation::
CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
All: What is that... ::grabs her tricorder and scans the area that the boxes are in.::
CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
<Steven>  CSO: Ma'am I have no idea it was moving to fast.
OPS_Rhian says:
CO: Yes apparently one of the ensigns on gamma shift is redecorating her quarters and believes that I know where to find curtains.  And there is a Lt  JG in engineering that is having a bachelor party, I do not even know what some of those items requested are :: shrugs shoulders ::
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The helm beeps at the FCO, requiring a course correction.
EO_ODonnel says:
::Stretches to seal in the last contact and bang's head on the panel opening:: Self: Damn panels. ::Taps COM badge:: *EO in ME*: Try the mains EPS grid on deck 4 now. Should be running normally.
CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::chuckles as she sees on the scan that it is just a cat::  Steven: It is a cat, try to catch it and then report the lost animal to the OPS.  Maybe someone has filed a missing report for it.
FCO_Chottu says:
::frowns and looks at his console, putting down a PADD::
CO_K`Beth says:
::chuckles:: OPS: I've learned long ago to not ask about any of the crew's bachelor parties.
FCO_Chottu says:
::tilts head lightly, changes course ever so slightly and picks up the PADD again::
CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Self: ::laughs and shakes her head::  I have no idea how it got in here but I am glad that it didn't get into the lab rats.
CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::goes back and finishes the drawers she was on... her last one::
EO_ODonnel says:
<EO in ME> *EO O'Donnel*: Power seems fine now sir. Job done.
OPS_Rhian says:
CO: Are these parties meant to be torturous, because the image files for some of the items...look quit painful.
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The CSO spots a few more fuzz balls in the drawer... kittens.
CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Self: Awwww ::Sees the kittens that are in the drawer and reaches in to pull one of them out::
EO_ODonnel says:
*EO in ME*: Well that’s one less job to do before we hit space dock. :: Pops the panel back on, grabs his toolkit and head for the TL to ME::
CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Like I said, Lt....don't ask.  As long as they are able to make their work shift the next day and there is no damage to ship or crew....I don't ask.
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The helm beeps again for a course correction.
CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::taps her commbadge::  *OPS*: Has any report came in to you about a missing cat?
CO_K`Beth says:
::looks over at the beeping:: FCO: Is there a problem, Lt?
CTO_Williams says:
::Reads over some more reports, trying to remember something that he was meant to do::
OPS_Rhian says:
*CSO*: No commander I have not.
XO_McDuggle says:
::goes back over to the table with his coffee and picks up another PADD and starts going over the crew discipline reports:: Computer: Open McDuggle’s music program delta one.
CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*OPS* : Would your department be the most like one to receive such a report?
CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::motions for some of the crewmen in the lab to come attend to the kittens::
CEO_Syren says:
::hears his office door chime and calls for the person to enter. EO_Davids steps in with a PADD:: <EO_Davids> CEO: Sir, the latest progress report
OPS_Rhian says:
*CSO*: Negative commander.  If it comes in a crate and is missing it is reported to me, if it moves it is reported to the CTO
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: Some of the crew in the lab start cooing over the kittens.
CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*OPS*: Thank you.
CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::taps her commbadge::  *CTO*:: Has any report came in to you about a missing cat?
EO_ODonnel says:
::TL stops in ME and O’Donnel steps out placing the toolkit in the locker by the main panel:: EO Jenkins: So how’s things looking crewman?
FCO_Chottu says:
::tilts head again slightly confused, pulling up some sensor data:: CO: Seem to be a few high gravity objects in the area, not something I expected, but it seems handle able enough.
CEO_Syren says:
::takes the PADD scans for the changes since the last report:: EO_Davids: Very good...maybe we can all get some time off at space dock
FCO_Chottu says:
::corrects course again and gives up on the PADD, just focusing on his console::
CO_K`Beth says:
FCO: Are they natural objects normally found in this area?
EO_ODonnel says:
<EO Jenkins> EO O’Donnel: All systems running normally sir. ::Pauses:: and sir my names Jenkins I hate the crewman thing.
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: One of the kittens mews loudly and the mother cat slowly edges back to her offspring.
EO_ODonnel says:
::Smiles to himself:: EO Jenkins: Ok Jenkins it is.
CTO_Williams says:
::Taps some more buttons on his PADD, bringing up tactical overlays of the last battle::
FCO_Chottu says:
::looks up reference chart for the area:: CO: They seem to be, yes..
CTO_Williams says:
::Reads on and sips some coffee::
CO_K`Beth says:
::nods:: FCO: Thank you, Lt.
CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::goes and gabs a box and begins to have the kittens transplanted into the box::
EO_ODonnel says:
::Taps Com Badge:: *CEO*: O’Donnel to Syren, All the repairs are finished up down here. Have you received Davids report?
CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
<Steven> ::sneaks up behind the cat and tries to grab her by the scuff::
FCO_Chottu says:
::just nods while navigating::
CTO_Williams says:
*CSO*: Um... A cat?  No, I'm sorry.  I will tell you if I hear anything about a cat, Cmdr. ::Checks the most recent status of missing people::
CO_K`Beth says:
::gets up and walks up to the replicator and orders a cup of coffee, trying not to yawn in front of the crew::
CEO_Syren says:
::returns the PADD to Davids and turns back to his work:: EO_Davids: See that the men don't exhaust themselves and... ::smiles:: *EO* I'm reading it now Ensign. You worked faster than I expected
CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::sighs::  All: Well all... looks like we might be having company for a while.
XO_McDuggle says:
:: finishes his cup of coffee and make some final notations on the PADD and decides to head for the Holodeck  to run one of his training programs:: Computer: End music.
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The Arondight rocks as if impacted by something quite large.  The entire ship shakes, some falling to their knees or rear, while others, such as the CTO, simply spill their coffee all over themselves.
CO_K`Beth says:
::stumbles and drops her coffee cup while grabbing onto the railing:: All: Report!
CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::luckily was on her knees with the box as the ship is rock hard::
CTO_Williams says:
::Sips some more coffee and leans back in his chair again.  The ship then shakes, and pushes the CTO forward, and the coffee forward onto himself:: Self: Ahh!! hot... I'm glad it wasn't super fresh.  ::Brings up status reports on what happened::
FCO_Chottu says:
::hisses slightly:: Self: I'm going to catch flak for this one. CO: Our warp field just collapsed ma'am.
XO_McDuggle says:
::picks himself up off the floor and decides to head for the bridge instead::
EO_ODonnel says:
::Smiles at CEO's comment:: *CEO*: Well to be honest sir we got on top of things pretty much as soon as the battle was over. We don't want Starfleet command to think we're abusing our ships now do we?
CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::hands the kitten off to one of the SO's::  SO: Here take care of things here. ::rushes out the door to the bridge::
OPS_Rhian says:
:: is rocked about, his PADD slides off onto the floor and breaks :: Aloud: hnaev
CO_K`Beth says:
::limps over to her chair and sits down bringing up the ship's status on her readouts:: FCO: Can you determine the cause of it?
CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
<Duty SO> ::crawls back to the console and scans the area outside the ship::
CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: Anything on the sensors?
CTO_Williams says:
CO: Nothing ma’am... it doesn't make any sense.
FCO_Chottu says:
::looks for a cause, shaking his head::
CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::enters the turbo lift and wonders what happen::

CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: Bring us to yellow alert, Lt.
CEO_Syren says:
*EO* Yes, have to keep Starfleet command happy ::sighs as he stares at the report he's writing to Command:: Keep up the good work Ensign, Keyser out.
CTO_Williams says:
CO: Done.
XO_McDuggle says:
::Arrives on Bridge:: CO: Captain did something hit us?
OPS_Rhian says:
:: hears the CO's orders and allocates power to shields ::
CO_K`Beth says:
XO: Unknown, Commander
CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
<Duty SO> CO: Ma'am there was a momentary gravimetric spike but it is now gone.
EO_ODonnel says:
*CO*: Captain I'm reading that we've just dropped out of warp. What’s going on up there? All systems are functioning normally.
CO_K`Beth says:
Duty_SO: Where did you record the spike?
CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::arrives on the bridge and just as she hears the CO ask about a spike::
CO_K`Beth says:
*CEO/EO*: We've lost the warp field.  Check all of the systems for any damage.
CEO_Syren says:
Out loud: Not now. Computer, save document and close ::heads out into ME and straight to the MSD:: 
FCO_Chottu says:
::tilts head once more:: Self: Because flying a ship wasn't hard enough, now space starts jumping at me..
XO_McDuggle says:
CTO: Lt are you reading the same spike?
CEO_Syren says:
*CO*: Yes ma'am we're on it now
CO_K`Beth says:
FCO: What is our location now?
CTO_Williams says:
XO: Yes sir.
CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
<Duty SO> ::nods to the CSO as she reports again:: CO: It was to fast but by the looks of things it was off the port-stern.
OPS_Rhian says:
Himself: Now what has that 'klivam', gotten the ship into?
XO_McDuggle says:
CTO: Do you have a location from where it originated?
CTO_Williams says:
Self : I wonder if we hit a spot of dead subspace.
CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::gets a brief update from the SO before relieving her::
CTO_Williams says:
XO: No sir, but I am trying to triangulate.
EO_ODonnel says:
::Double-checks the warp system:: *CO*: Nothing wrong with the engines captain, There seems to be something dampening our warp coils.
CO_K`Beth says:
::hears the EO and sees that the CSO is on the bridge:: CSO: Scan that area and see if you can find the source of the dampening field.
CTO_Williams says:
XO: I continue to try sir, but I am unable to locate at all.
XO_McDuggle says:
CTO: Are you reading some sort of damping field?
CEO_Syren says:
::quietly observes the EO as he works::
OPS_Rhian says:
:: checks to make sure the power systems are operating properly ::
CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::scans the area for a dampening field::  CO: Aye ma'am.
CO_K`Beth says:
FCO: Bring us to a full stop, Lt. Let's not run into another one of those spikes.
FCO_Chottu says:
CO: Dmack sector ma'am, still between the high gravity objects, this shouldn't be happening though..
CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: Everything appears normal ma'am.
CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::calls up the visual logs of the port stern and reviews them::
FCO_Chottu says:
::brings the Arondight to full stop:: Self: What if they run into us..
CTO_Williams says:
XO: Something like that sir, but I just can't lock onto exact details... it is very strange
CO_K`Beth says:
CSO: Scan those high gravity objects and see if there is any sort of field emanating from them.
XO_McDuggle says:
CTO: Try an internal scan and see if it could be coming from the ship.
CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Send a message to Starfleet and tell them we will be delayed a bit.
CTO_Williams says:
XO: I'm still not reading anything sir. ::Continues to scan.::
EO_ODonnel says:
*CSO*: O'Donnel to Tarrez-Hunter, any sign of what’s causing the dampening field yet?
OPS_Rhian says:
CO: Yes ma’am.  :: sends message as ordered::
CTO_Williams says:
XO: Right now, there just seems to be nothing to stop us! Yet here we are, stuck.
XO_McDuggle says:
FCO: Lt have you been encountering any navigational problems?
CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::scans them as she nods to the CO::  CO: Ma'am everything is coming up as normal... there is nothing there.
FCO_Chottu says:
XO: Small course deviations, nothing much until the warp field collapse sir.
CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: And visual analysis of the port-stern cam logs don't reveal anything either.
CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Any reports from any damage to the ship?
XO_McDuggle says:
FCO; And do you know why the course changes were necessary.
CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::scans the database for similar run-ins by other ships::
CO_K`Beth says:
XO: This may simply be a natural phenomenon in this area.  Let's see if we can navigate out by impulse.
FCO_Chottu says:
XO: Well yes, the unexpected gravity influences from those objects out there, they are native..
EO_ODonnel says:
::Scans the surrounding space for unusual subspace distortions::
CO_K`Beth says:
*CEO/EO*: See what you can do to get the warp field back and counter act the dampening field.
XO_McDuggle says:
FCO: Roger plot a course forward at one half impulse for now.
OPS_Rhian says:
CO: Some captain, mostly from the rapid deaccerlation.  Hatch covers popped loose, broken fixtures, that type of thing
CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: Ma'am may I scan for a cloak vessel?
FCO_Chottu says:
::sets the Arondight into motion once more, slightly frustrated with the cripple speed and nods::
CTO_Williams says:
XO: Everything scans like there is no problem.  Everything is coming up green. sir
EO_ODonnel says:
*CO*: Aye captain working on it. But there appears to be no dampening!
CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: Using tachyons?
XO_McDuggle says:
FCO: Are you encountering any problems yet?
FCO_Chottu says:
::shrugs:: XO: None.
CO_K`Beth says:
CSO: Do so, please.
CEO_Syren says:
EO_ODonnel: Okay, Ensign let's hear your thoughts
CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*EO*: Sorry was a bit busy... but no.
XO_McDuggle says:
FCO: Then take us to full impulse.
CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::floods the area with tachyons to see if she can find anything::
XO_McDuggle says:
CSO: Are you reading any more gravimetric fields?
CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::scans for gravimetric fields::
CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
XO: No sir.
FCO_Chottu says:
::increases speed to full impulse, glad that they're beyond baby steps::
FCO_Chottu says:
XO: All's well so far..
CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: Ma'am, I don't see anything out there... but this procedure is not 100% effective at finding cloaked ships.
CO_K`Beth says:
CSO: That's all right, Commander.  Just keep an eye out.
EO_ODonnel says:
*CEO*: Have we actually tried to go back into warp?
XO_McDuggle says:
CO: Captain we are at full impulse and there seem to be no problem so far.
CO_K`Beth says:
XO: Commander, let's see if we can maintain warp now since everything seems to be green across the board.

CEO_Syren says:
*EO*: Exactly, always go with simplest choice first. Reinitiate the warp field
XO_McDuggle says:
CO: Aye Captain. FCO: Take us to warp one.
FCO_Chottu says:
::taps fingers on console:: Self: I thought they'd never ask.
FCO_Chottu says:
::attempts to take the Arondight back to warp::
CTO_Williams says:
::Adjusts scanning parameters, still trying to see if there might be something they are not picking up(even though they haven't found anything out of the ordinary)::
CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Contact Starfleet and see if any other ships have experienced the same thing in this area.
CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::starts running an analysis of the specific gravitational pulls on the ship at the time of the spike... looking at their strength and direction::
XO_McDuggle says:
FCO: Any problems?
OPS_Rhian says:
CO: Yes captain :: sends a message to Starfleet as ordered ::
EO_ODonnel says:
*CEO*: As I said sir the warp coils were energized.
EO_ODonnel says:
*CEO*: We just weren't telling them to go!
FCO_Chottu says:
::tilts head half expecting to drop to a slow again:: XO: Nothing yet.
XO_McDuggle says:
FCO: Then lets try warp 4
CTO_Williams says:
::Gives up, as nothing seems to be able to be found.  Ryan decides to sit back and continue to watch what happens again::
FCO_Chottu says:
Self: How daring. ::increases the Arondight’s speed to warp 4::
XO_McDuggle says:
::waits to see what happens::
FCO_Chottu says:
XO: We're all good sir, think perhaps we're paying too much attention to a bump in the road.
XO_McDuggle says:
FCO: That could be a very good point.
OPS_Rhian says:
CO: Captain Starfleet replies nothing specific in the area of space.
CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Thank you, Lt.  I'll make a report for them later.
XO_McDuggle says:
CO: Captain we are currently at warp 4 and things seem to be running smooth.
OPS_Rhian says:
CO: Understood ma'am
CO_K`Beth says:
XO: Looks like it was a momentary hiccup in space.  But let's stay at yellow alert until we are away from these high gravitational objects.
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: Leaning back, the CTO finds a puddle of his spilled coffee he hadn't noticed, he now has a stain on the back to match the one on the front.
FCO_Chottu says:
::smirks:: Self: Guess that would've made for a good drill, woke everyone up.

CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
FCO: My sensors showed where the spike occurred 3.34 milliseconds before the warp field collapsed... can I assume that gravity for disrupt a warp bubble?
XO_McDuggle says:
CO: Roger Captain. FCO: Take us back to our original warp speed and course.
CO_K`Beth says:
::gets up and limps over to the replicator again and orders another cup of coffee.  Sees the stain and mess from the one she dropped:: OPS: Lt, have housekeeping come up and clean up this mess, please.
CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::think she is right, but since that aspect of science was never her strong suit decided to consult someone else::
FCO_Chottu says:
CSO: It's possible, I don't see any other possible cause.
OPS_Rhian says:
CO: Yes captain but it may be a while they are very busy with the mess from the deceleration
CO_K`Beth says:
::grins as she sits back down:: XO: Never a dull day, is there?
CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Whenever they can, Lt.
CTO_Williams says:
Self: Gross.... gets back up and prepares to clean himself off ::Gets up and leaves::
FCO_Chottu says:
::nods at the XO and puts the Arondight back on its old heading and speed::
CTO_Williams says:
::Edit in my action into colons::
XO_McDuggle says:
::looks at the Chronometer on the wall and see that it is only a short time till his duty shift and goes to the replicator and gets himself a cup of coffee:: CO: No captain never a dull moment.
OPS_Rhian says:
CO: Yes ma’am :: sends another request reminding housekeeping that this order comes directly from the captain::
CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: Ma'am I think what happened is that there was a gravitational spike that caused our warp bubble to fail.  Now as for the cause or location of the gravitational spike I am not able to determine.
CTO_Williams says:
::Sets someone to take over tactical, and heads to his quarters to change out of his very solid uniform::
CO_K`Beth says:
XO: When we get to Earth I'm going to try and see about getting the crew some decent time for a good R&R.  Maybe get you enough time to take that honeymoon you had to put off.
XO_McDuggle says:
CO: I will do what I can Captain.
OPS_Rhian says:
Himself: If we ever get to earth...
FCO_Chottu says:
::picks his PADD back up and leans back again::
CO_K`Beth says:
CSO: Can you write up all the details for my report?  Starfleet should know in case that is becoming more prevalent in that area.
EO_ODonnel says:
::Runs over the field geometry to make sure all it running smoothly::
CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: Aye ma'am.

CO_K`Beth says:
::sits back again in her chair and sips her coffee, watching the stars go by::
XO_McDuggle says:
::sits at his station and sips his coffee::
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: Turning a corner on his way back to his quarters to change, Ryan runs into a yeoman practically running down the hallway.  Her glass of cranberry juice finds itself all over the CTO.
Host Bafii says:
