USS Artemis – NCC-83093
Mission Transcript
Stardate 9910.22

CO_Ross says:
The Artemis crew onboard the USS Leman, an Intrepid Class Ship is 4 hours from Joltrax IV, a planet where a Federation Colony is located. The Colony had sent out a distress signal requesting assistance, almost a weeks time has passed, and there have been no further communications with the colony.
To further complicate matters, a sub-space particle creature is pursuing the Artemis while on it's rescue mission.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Colony Trouble>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CO_Ross says:
::In quarters, just awakened by the Computer chime::

FCO_Joe says:
::maintains speed::

AEnsKayan says:
::lying in sickbay, slowly waking up::

CNS_Sodak says:
::On bridge trying to sense.....anything....from the colony::

SO_Donovn says:
::at science console::

FCO_Joe says:
::wakes up by the computer alarm::

XOBryant says:
:::sitting in the center chair and watching the readouts blink and flash::::

MO_Cordel says:
AEns: Are you okay?

FCO_Joe says:
::puts on uniform heads for bridge::

AEnsKayan says:
::looks up at the stranger as a tear begins to roll down her cheeck::

CNS_Sodak says:
XO: Bad news sir

FCO_Joe says:
::arrives on bridge::

XOBryant says:
CNS: What's wrong Sodak?

FCO_Joe says:
::takes the helm::

MO_Cordel says:
AEns: What's wrong Kayan??

CNS_Sodak says:
XO: I don't sense anything from the colony. I should be able to if anyone's alive down there

SO_Donovn says:
::scanning the planet for the colonists::

XOBryant says:
SO: Mr. Donovan, I need some confirmation of that please?

CO_Ross says:
*XO*:  Mr. Bryant, status?

XOBryant says:
CNS: you aren't sensing anything at all?

AEnsKayan says:
::in a whispered voice::  MO:  Who are you?  Where is Doctor Senn?

FCO_Joe says:
::tries hailing the colony::

CNS_Sodak says:
XO: Unfortunately no....it's as quiet as a tomb

XOBryant says:
*CO* sir we are approaching the Joltrax system and continuing to scan.... the counselor has told me that he doesn't sense any life there at all.

Host AGMSergio says:
ACTION : Still no reply from the colony..

MO_Cordel says:
AEns: I don't know where she is

XOBryant says:
CNS: would you please keep trying to sense whatever you can?

CO_Ross says:
*XO*: OK, I'll be up in a minute, how about that creature?

CNS_Sodak says:
XO: Yes sir....I intend to

AEnsKayan says:
::swallows hard and starts to sit up gaining control::  MO:  Who are you?  I don't remember you.

XOBryant says:
*CO* sir its still on more a less parallel course behind us... I really think that we should do something about it.  It's possible that it could be connected to whatever happened to the colonists.

MO_Cordel says:
AEns: I'm Cordelia, I'm the new MO

FCO_Joe says:
::keeps eye on creature::

CO_Ross says:
*CO*:  Have the Science Dept give me a briefing on it,

XOBryant says:
*CO* sir in your quarters?

AEnsKayan says:
MO:  New?  As of when?  ::Looks around confused and sees Jason on another biobed and begins to climb out::  What is going on here?

SO_Donovn says:
XO; SRS are not picking up any lifesigns on the planet

CO_Ross says:
*XO*: NO in the RR, I'll be on the way to the bridge in a moment

XOBryant says:
SO: scan the alien and get the latest on it and meet Captain Ross in the RR, he's on his way now.

XOBryant says:
*CO* Aye sir, I'll have him waiting.

FCO_Joe says:
::makes small course correction::

SO_Donovn says:
XO: aye sir

XOBryant says:
CNS: Sodak, take the tactical console and see if you can maintain a firing solution on the creature please?  Coordinate with Teasley and see to it that we don't end up as lunch.

CO_Ross says:
::gets into his uniform, grabs a sip of his now warm raktajino and heads to the TL to the bridge::

CNS_Sodak says:
SO: Can this creature interfere with telepathic/empathic contact?

XOBryant says:
:::listens to the SO and CNS with interest::::

XOBryant says:
FCO: Mr Teasley?  How long till we drop out of warp?

SO_Donovn says:
CNS: I don't know  I know very little about telepathic abilities

SO_Donovn says:
CNS: it seems possible

CNS_Sodak says:
SO/XO: I'm just trying to cover all bases just in case

CO_Ross says:
::Enters the Bridge, stops at the Security/Tactical console looks at the situation board, then enters the RR::

FCO_Joe says:
XO: About 2 hours

XOBryant says:
CNS: do you think that the creature could have something to do with the reason that you can't sense anything from the colony?

MO_Cordel says:
AEns: Everything's okay you just woke up from some serious injuries

SO_Donovn says:
CNS: since the creature is made of energy it would possibly interfere

CNS_Sodak says:
XO: It's possible, but I can sense the ship's crew fine.....

XOBryant says:
CNS: I would like you to inform the Captain of that too also Mr. Donovan.

CNS_Sodak says:
XO: However, another creature might be on the planet

SO_Donovn says:
XO:aye sir

AEnsKayan says:
::stands wobbly and glares::  MO:  I woke up from serious injuries, Jason... I mean commander MacMer is lying over there, I have not a clue how I got here and you say everything is okay?

FCO_Joe says:
XO: Sir, correction on the ETA, we are less than 4 hours out

CO_Ross says:
::Sits at his desk reading status reports that the Computer downlinked to his desk PADD::

XOBryant says:
*CO* sir, Donvan's on his way in I would like you permission to take measures to dissuade the creature from following us anymore.

CO_Ross says:
*XO*:  What are your plans?

CNS_Sodak says:
XO: Tactical scanners DO show a small shadow in the outskirts of Joltrax

XOBryant says:
*CO*: sir I am going to try to collapse its warp feild with subspace charges launched on torpedoes

XOBryant says:
CNS: A shadow?  What kind of shadow?

CO_Ross says:
*XO*: Proceed, keep me advised

XOBryant says:
*CO* aye sir

MO_Cordel says:
::Gives Kayan a sedative using the HYPO::

XOBryant says:
CNS: have the torpedo room start modifying torpedoes Sodak.

CNS_Sodak says:
XO: I'm not sure....but it beared a Dominion signature for a second

SO_Donovn says:
XO: am I dismissed to go see the Captain

AEnsKayan says:
::knocks the doctors hand away and back up::  MO:  What do you think you are doing?

XOBryant says:
SO: carry on, the captains waiting.... but hurry please.  We are already short handed.

SO_Donovn says:
XO: aye sir

CNS_Sodak says:
XO: It feels to me like someone's got Jem'Hadar in their space

XOBryant says:
*CO* sir we have a problem here.

SO_Donovn says:
::heads to RR::

MO_Cordel says:
AEns: You seemed distraught, I was trying to use this to calm you down

XOBryant says:
*CO* We just detected what could have been a Jem'Hadar warship

CO_Ross says:
*XO*:  What is it Mr. Bryant?

AEnsKayan says:
MO:  I am many things but I am not distraught.  You had no right.

CO_Ross says:
*XO*:  What is its distance?

XOBryant says:
CNS: Sodak?

XOBryant says:
*CO* checking sir.

SO_Donovn says:
::stands outside of RR rings the door::

CNS_Sodak says:
*CO*: I picked it up on tactical....a brief shadow with a Dominion signature....maybe someone isn't pleased with the war's outcome. It's just sitting in the outskirts of the system

FCO_Joe says:
XO: Sir, ready to drop to impulse

XOBryant says:
FCO: belay that Joe, run us in circles or something.

CNS_Sodak says:
XO: It's gone now....there's nothing

SO_Donovn says:
::rings the RR's door again::

CO_Ross says:
*CNS*:  Contact SF get an updated Sector Intelligence Report.......this isn't the first disgruntled Dominion ship

CO_Ross says:
*SO*: Enter

XOBryant says:
FCO: I would just as soon stay fast if we got one thing behind us trying to eat us and an unknown in front of us.

AEnsKayan says:
::watches the doctor turn to the computer, answer a comm, grab her equipment and dash out the door:: Self: Great, just great...  ::heads over to Jason's bed to see if she can discover anything::

FCO_Joe says:
XO: Understood

SO_Donovn says:
::enters:: CO: Ensign Donovan reporting sir

CNS_Sodak says:
*CO* Aye. sir

XOBryant says:
:::Walks over to the tactical console and watches as Sodak tries to find any other trace of the vessel::::

XOBryant says:
CNS: what did you have?

XOBryant says:
CNS: and how long on the torpedo mods?

CO_Ross says:
SO: Ensign, please have a seat, ::points to the chair:: I have really meant to have a chat with you prior to our returning to the Artemis, but orders are orders, we will dispense with the niceties until we get back, proceed with your briefing

CNS_Sodak says:
XO: Just a brief shadow.....it was there then it wasn't

SO_Donovn says:
CO: thank you sir

XOBryant says:
CNS: where?

Nurse_Walter says:
::entering the sickbay sees that it is fairly quiet, wonders where everyone is::

FCO_Joe says:
XO: I recommend we go to impulse soon to avoid crashing into a planet

XOBryant says:
FCO: they put a steering wheel on these things for a reason, just keep us flying Joe.

CNS_Sodak says:
XO: in the Outskirts of the system.......something doesn't feel right. I can't help but think it was either headed for the colony or responsible for its demise

XOBryant says:
CNS: and the torpedoes?

XOBryant says:
CNS: are they ready to fire?

AEnsKayan says:
::reads Jason's PADD, checks the diagnostic scanner and sighs::  CSO:  Well, according to this you had some sort of allergic reaction.  ::sweeps some hair off his face::  I guess it would probably be best to just let you sleep, but when you wake up, I hope you have some answers.  ::sighs::

CNS_Sodak says:
XO: yes they are

XOBryant says:
CNS: very well bring us to Red alert, full power to the shields and fire when ready, reload immediately with a full salvo of normal torpedoes at maximum yield.

CO_Ross says:
SO:  Ensign, please, your briefing

Host AGMSergio says:
ACTION : Suddenly, Heath picks up a Vorta ship.. Dead ahead, and closing fast..

Nurse_Walter says:
::listens quietly to Kayan, a bit dreamy eyed, then walks over to her::  Kayan:  He will be fine.  Dr. Senn thought after your resent experience it would be best to just let him rest for awhile.

AEnsKayan says:
MO:  Experience?  What experience ::speaks in a very exasperated voice::

CNS_Sodak says:
XO: Sir, A Vorta ship is dead ahead....hold on to your hats

XOBryant says:
FCO: evasive action

Nurse_Walter says:
::looks at her a bit embarrassed::  Kayan:  Well, I am not quite certain, I mean, I have just heard rumors

CNS_Sodak says:
::Goes to Red Alert::

FCO_Joe says:
XO: Aye sir

XOBryant says:
FCO: belay that

AEnsKayan says:
::feels her temper starting to rise::

XOBryant says:
FCO: take us in as close to her as possible!!!

CO_Ross says:
:Exits RR::

XOBryant says:
FCO: that creature's hungry and its lunch time!

Nurse_Walter says:
::backs off a bit::

CO_Ross says:
XO:  I have the CONN

XOBryant says:
CO: Aye sir

XOBryant says:
::::Takes the XO's seat

CNS_Sodak says:
::Locks targeting system onto Vorta ship::

CO_Ross says:
COMM: Vorta:  Vorta ship, this is the USS Leman, Captain Ross in Command, state your intentions

AEnsKayan says:
::Takes a deep calming breath::  MO:  I am sorry Walter, I don't mean to chew you out.. it's just...  ::sigh::  Is there any reason why I can't leave sickbay?

XOBryant says:
CO: we are approaching a Vorta ship at warp speed she came out of nowhere I just ordered Joe to buzz her and see if the creature isn't in the mood for an hor derve

Host AGMSergio says:
ACTION : No reply.. The ship is powering weapons..

CO_Ross says:
FCO:  Evasive maneuvers

CO_Ross says:
XO:  Fire all weapons

FCO_Joe says:
CO: Aye sir

CNS_Sodak says:
::Fires all weapons::

FCO_Joe says:
::takes evasive maneuvers::

CO_Ross says:
XO: Quantum torpedoes, let's end this before it begins

XOBryant says:
CO: aye sir

XOBryant says:
CO: uhmmm..... sir?

CO_Ross says:
XO:  Mr. Bryant?

Nurse_Walter says:
::smiles tentatively at her::  Kayan:  it's ok, I understand.  ::looks over at her chart::  As far as I can tell, you are fine.  I would just....  ::watches as Kayan's red head vanishes through the sickbay doors::  ... take it easy for a bit.  ::sighs and heads to check over commander MacMer::

SO_Donova says:
::heads to the bridge::

XOBryant says:
:::leans over and whispers in the captains ear:::: CO: sir we don't have quantum torpedoes, the Léman only has the old photon torpedoes

Host AGMSergio says:
ACTION: The Vorta ship is hit and fires it's own weapons..

CNS_Sodak says:
::Fires torpedoes at Vorta's right nacelle::

AEnsKayan says:
::Quickly heads to the bridge, not noticing what she is currently wearing::

FCO_Joe says:
::moves to avoid enemy fire::

Host AGMSergio says:
ACTION : The energy creature speed sup, entering the safety limit...

CO_Ross says:
XO:  Mark V Torps will be sufficient

FCO_Joe says:
CO: Sir the creature is entering the safety limit

XOBryant says:
CNS: you heard him alter your aim point, take out the bridge

Host AGMSergio says:
ACTION : Shields on the Léman down to 85%

CO_Ross says:
FCO:  Full intensity ITP from the main deflector dish,

FCO_Joe says:
CO: Aye

Host AGMSergio says:
ACTION : She is now parallel to the Leman..

CNS_Sodak says:
::Fires at the bridge area:: XO: Direct hit on their shields

FCO_Joe says:
CO: The creature is parallel to the ship

Host AGMSergio says:
ACTION : The Vorta ships drops to impulse..

AEnsKayan says:
::Looks up as the SO joins her in the TL::

SO_Donova says:
::heads to the TL::

XOBryant says:
CNS: keep firing open up with the phasers if you can get a lock at this speed.

CO_Ross says:
CNS:  Target the Vorta's Engineering Section

CNS_Sodak says:
::Fires at Vorta ES::

SO_Donova says:
Ens Kayan: hello you feeling better

CO_Ross says:
XO:  Send a message to SF, we have been engaged by a Vorta Vessel

AEnsKayan says:
::nods::  SO:  Hi.  Thanks, I am I guess.   I don't suppose you know what is going on?

Host AGMSergio says:
ACTION : The Vorta ship is hit hard.. She turns and heads away from the Léman..

XOBryant says:
CO: aye sir :::walks to the OPS console and keys in the message and sends it::::

SO_Donova says:
Kayan: no.....but that is an unusual starfleet uniform your wearing

CNS_Sodak says:
CO: We hit her badly

Host AGMSergio says:
ACTION : The creature passes the Léman.. it seems to be heading to the Vorta ship...

CO_Ross says:
FCO:  Come about, heading 180 mark 3 3/4 impulse

CNS_Sodak says:
::Looks shocked:: All: Well, it has a new playmate

AEnsKayan says:
::looks down at herself and her face turns a bit crimson, outlining her spots::  SO:  ahhh... new sickbay style.   I guess I should change, but at red alert.....

FCO_Joe says:
CO: Aye sir

SO_Donova says:
Kayan: it seems like we are under attack

FCO_Joe says:
::sets coordinates and speed::

XOBryant says:
:::smiles::: CO: Geeze I don't think they have the speed to run away from him either.

Host AGMSergio says:
ACTION : The Vorta Ship fires on the creature

AEnsKayan says:
SO:  wonderful, I guess changing is out for now..  ::watches as the TL doors finally open upon the bridge::

SO_Donova says:
Kayan: after you

Host AGMSergio says:
ACTION : Th creature seems to absorb the energy.. and grow bigger.

AEnsKayan says:
::steps onto the bridge::

FCO_Joe says:
CO: We back on course for Joltrax IV

CNS_Sodak says:
ALL: Uh-oh

SO_Donova says:
::goes to science console::

CO_Ross says:
FCO:  Thank you Lt. Teasley

XOBryant says:
:::looks at the door and does a double take:::: Kayan: welcome back :::smiles just a little::::

AEnsKayan says:
::looks at the screen and the unusual creature there then over at the councilors comment::

SO_Donova says:
::looks over the scans coming in::

CO_Ross says:
XO:  Status of the Vorta Ship?

AEnsKayan says:
XO:  Thanks.... I think.  What can I do to help... and I apologize for my....ur... attire.

Host AGMSergio says:
ACTION : The creature reaches the Vorta ship, and as it passes through the ship.. It explodes... With it, all traces of the Creature disappear from the Leman's Sensors..

XOBryant says:
CO: sir  the Vorta seem to be trying to fend off the creature with little or no result actually the creature is growing.

XOBryant says:
Kayan: take the OPS console ensign.

CNS_Sodak says:
CO: I don't sense the creature anymore

XOBryant says:
CO: sir the Vorta have been destroyed

CO_Ross says:
XO:  Interesting, so our defense seems to have been the correct one.  "Two birds with one rock"  an old Terran metaphor......very well, continue scanning the planet and system

AEnsKayan says:
::nods and heads for OPS::

XOBryant says:
CO: aye sir....

XOBryant says:
SO: what do you have for me donovan

AEnsKayan says:
::runs her hands along controls rerouting power to shields and other essential sytems::

FCO_Joe says:
::maintains speed::

SO_Donova says:
XO: nothing as of yet one moment

XOBryant says:
SO: our sensors should be detecting something I could get readings with a pair of binoculars from here.

SO_Donova says:
::scanning the area::

CO_Ross says:
AEns:  Mr. Kayan, welcome back

AEnsKayan says:
CO:  Thanks captain.  Nice to be back.... as soon as someone tells me where I came back from I would be even more happier

XOBryant says:
:::wonders if the captain went blind.... that definitely isn't a Mr. and giggles a little at the thought:::::

CNS_Sodak says:
::chuckles a little::

AEnsKayan says:
::shakes her head at the commander and counselor wondering what she missed::

XOBryant says:
FCO: bring us in on a standard orbital approach with a synchronous orbit over the colony Joe.

CO_Ross says:
Aens:  As soon as there is time, we will all find out what has happened

SO_Donova says:
XO; sorry sir nothing unusual still no signs from the colonist

FCO_Joe says:
XO: Aye sir

CO_Ross says:
AEns:  Mr. Kayan, attempt communication, open all hailing channels with the Colony

XOBryant says:
SO: so your telling me that with all the gizmo's aboard this thing including a swimming pool you can't even find me a body from across the street?  Keep looking Ensign.

FCO_Joe says:
CO: ETA 1 hour to standard orbit

SO_Donova says:
XO: aye sir

FCO_Joe says:
::tries to hail the colony::

CO_Ross says:
FCO:  Very well, steady as she goes

AEnsKayan says:
::runs her hands along the controls opening all channels, hailing frequencies open::

FCO_Joe says:
COM: Jotrax Colony: This is the USS Léman, do you read me?

Host AGMSergio says:
ACTION : Still no reply

XOBryant says:
AEns: encode another transmission to SF detailing our engagement with the Vorta vessel and the creature.

CNS_Sodak says:
CO: I still can't sense anything from down there

AEnsKayan says:
CO:  I am getting no signals from the colonies.

AEnsKayan says:
XO:  aye commander

XOBryant says:
:::::stops what he's doing and all the blood drains from his face::::; SO: scan the remains of the Vorta vessel for human remains.

CO_Ross says:
CNS/AEns:  I am getting the feeling myself, that there is no one left

FCO_Joe says:
XO: I just tried hailing them with no answer

AEnsKayan says:
::begins downloading current data and reports and relays them to starfleet::

AEnsKayan says:
::shudders at the captains words::

XOBryant says:
FCO: keep the channel open, it doesn't hurt.

FCO_Joe says:
XO: Aye sir

CO_Ross says:
XO:  Well, Mr. Bryant, recommendations for AT?

SO_Donova says:
XO: all the Vorta are dead caused by a warp core breech apparently from the creature

FCO_Joe says:
*JC*COMM: Joltrax colony, can you read me?

SO_Donova says:
XO: no signs of the creature

XOBryant says:
CO: sir, if we can't find out what happened down there I don't think that we should put anyone ashore.  What if there is some kind of disease?  We can't even find a body.

FCO_Joe says:
::keeps the COMM channel open::

AEnsKayan says:
::quietly tries some non-regulation frequencies::

CO_Ross says:
XO:  Well we will have to determine that, I want a geological and Science AT sent down either by Transporter or shuttle,

AEnsKayan says:
::wondering if she might fly the shuttle::

CO_Ross says:
XO: .........you of course will command the AT, I will leave the method of transport up to you

XOBryant says:
AEns: why don't you go put on a uniform and pre flight a shuttle
