Host Jeff says:
<Computer> ACO: Achnoledged.  Evacuateing oxygen from quarters of Sirach, Commander, Acting Commanding Officer.
Host ACO_Sirach says:
::gasping for air::
Host ACO_Sirach says:
Computer: okay okay, turn yourself back on
AXO_Kriss thinks:  ::You'd think after 8 years he'd learn he can get his own breakfast from the replicator.::
Host Jeff says:
ACTION: The ACO's quarters are once again filled with the proper concentration of life giving air.
Host ACO_Sirach says:
::goes into bathroom and takes a sonic shower::
Host Jeff says:
ACTION: The station shudders.
CEO_MacLeod says:
::lumbers out of bed, walks to the head, splashes water on his face::
CEO_MacLeod says:
::feels the shudder::  Self:  Now what?
Host ACO_Sirach says:
Computer: Play Sirach Opera Mix 1
Host Jeff says:
ACTION: Blue alert automatically sounds, signaling a loss of orbital integrity.  The crew notices that the station is covered in rust and dust, like its a few centuries older than its actual age.
CEO_MacLeod says:
::walks to his work station, activtes the remote monitor of engineering, looks over display::
Host ACO_Sirach says:
::hears blue alert::
AXO_Kriss says:
::gets to the replicator and orders Lawrence and myself some pancakes, his favorite.::
AXO_Kriss  (Blue Alert.wav)
Host ACO_Sirach says:
::quickly throws on his uniform and walks quickly to the bridge::
CEO_MacLeod says:
::sneezes at the dust in the air::
Host Jeff says:
ACTION: The replicator churns, then spits out a stack of pancakes, covered in dust and grey with age.
CEO_MacLeod says:
::gets dressed in a slightly dusty uniform, walks out into the corridor, and towards a TL::
Host Jeff says:
ACTION: The ACO encounters no one on his way to the bridge, it is as if except for the ACO AXO and CEO the station is deserted.
Host Jeff says:
ACTION: the corridor carpets are moth eaten and worn, a mouse scurries ahead of the CEO.
Host ACO_Sirach says:
::notices that no one is around::
AXO_Kriss says:
::Hurries Lawrence along to get dressed and get him off to school.  Quickly gets uniform on and cleans herself up a little.::
Host ACO_Sirach says:
Computer: How many people are onboard Avalon Station?
CEO_MacLeod says:
::notices the mouse, and the absence of people::
Host Jeff says:
<Computer> Sirach: Current Humanoid Lifeform Count is Four.
CEO_MacLeod says:
::reaches the TL door, has to help it to open fully::
Host Jeff says:
ACTION: The floor of the turbolift is sagging like a wet paper towel.
AXO_Kriss says:
::sees the pancakes and figures something is wrong.::
Host ACO_Sirach says:
Self: Four?
Host ACO_Sirach says:
Computer: What are the names of the four lifeforms onboard?
Host Jeff says:
<Computer> Sirach: Make that Three now.
CEO_MacLeod says:
::steps into the TL, hears it creak and sag a little::  TL:  Engineering.
Host ACO_Sirach says:

::helps the TL doors close so it will move::
Host Jeff says:
<Computer> Sirach: Sirach, Commander, Acting Commanding Officer.  MacLeod, Lieutenant Commander, Chief of Engineering.  Rushing, Lieutenant Commander, Acting Executive Officer, Chief Of Medicine, Second Officer.
AXO_Kriss says:
::They step out of their quarters and Lawrence suddenly vanishes.::
Host ACO_Sirach says:
*CEO & AXO* What is your status?
Host Jeff says:
ACTION: The dust where lawrence was standing is not even disturbed by his disappearence.
Host ACO_Sirach says:
::walks onto the empty bridge::
AXO_Kriss says:
*ACO*: My son and I just left our quarters and he suddenly vanished.  What's going on?
CEO_MacLeod says:
::taps comm badge::  *ACO*:  Heading for engineering.  What the devil is going on sir?
Host ACO_Sirach says:
*AXO & CEO* I was hoping you'd have the answer to what was going on
Host Jeff says:
ACTION: the Command Balcony on the bridge has collapsed, crushing the helm and operations console, and the viewscreen is a dull, dead, grey, a heavy layer of dust covers the console.  There are still no signs of people.
Host ACO_Sirach says:
*CEO* What is going on in engineering, the bridge is trashed?
CEO_MacLeod says:
::TL roughly stops at deck 35::  *ACO*:  Let be have a look down here, I'll get back to you.
Host ACO_Sirach says:
*AXO* Check in sickbay, any clues there?
Host Jeff says:
ACTION: Main engineering is in much the same condition as the bridge, the MA/AM reactor is still running, but barely, and the computer is taking heroric measures to keep it stable.
AXO_Kriss says:
*ACO*: On my way there now.  are the Turbo lifts operational?
CEO_MacLeod says:
::walks into engineering, looks around, moves to the master control station::
Host ACO_Sirach says:
*AXO* Operational but soggy
Host Jeff says:
ACTION: The Master Control Station is barely functional, like most of the ships systems.
Host ACO_Sirach says:
::gets out a tricorder::
Host ACO_Sirach says:
::begins scanning the bridge for clues::
AXO_Kriss says:
::steps aboard the nearest tl::  sickbay
CEO_MacLeod says:
*ACO*:  Commander, engineering is deserted, like most of the station.  Looks like we have partial main power, but there are numerous system failures
AXO_Kriss says:
::the tl slowly and sluggishes get to the upper deck and stops with a jolt.::
Host ACO_Sirach says:
*CEO* Any idea when the station was abandoned?
CEO_MacLeod says:
*ACO*:  Its like the station has been operating without a crew for years, lots of years.  
CEO_MacLeod says:
*ACO*:  There's no indication as to why it was abandoned.
Host ACO_Sirach says:
::picking up various dna traces in the dust::
AXO_Kriss says:
::Kriss steps off and notices the same deteriorating conditions.::
Host ACO_Sirach says:
*AXO* I need a medical analysis of some dust
CEO_MacLeod says:
*ACO*: Can you access the duty log database?
AXO_Kriss says:
::she gets to sickbay and has to practically push open the doors herself.::
CEO_MacLeod says:
::sneezes again::
AXO_Kriss says:
*ACO*: I've made my way to sickbay and most of the equipment seems to be operational.
Host ACO_Sirach says:
*CEO* Let me try, see if you can access the computer's records
Host ACO_Sirach says:
*AXO* Analysis the dust in sickbay, tell me what you find
CEO_MacLeod says:
::calls up hanger bay status, sees that the Vic is still moored::
AXO_Kriss says:
::Kriss manages to find a medical tricorder with some life left and scans the dust.::
Host ACO_Sirach says:
::tries to access the crew's duty log::
Host ACO_Sirach says:
Computer: What was the last recorded duty log of any member of the crew?
CEO_MacLeod says:
Computer:  Computer, establish a data link to the Victoria.
Host Jeff says:
<Computer> Sirach: Information missing.
AXO_Kriss says:
*ACO*: it appears that the dust has been accumlating for over 300 years and it contains trace elements of humanoid DNA.
Host Jeff says:
<Computer> CEO: Link established.
Host ACO_Sirach says:
*CEO* Anyway we can establish a communication link with the Federation?
CEO_MacLeod says:
::hears a panel in the back blow out, from age and dust contamination::
Host ACO_Sirach says:
*AXO* How many humanoid DNAs are onboard? Is the entire crew present?
CEO_MacLeod says:
*ACO*:  I don't think we have access to the comm relay itself, but the system itself looks ok
Host ACO_Sirach says:
*CEO* Thank you, see what you can find out what the Victoria
Host ACO_Sirach says:
Computer: Any Federation ships on long range sensors?
CEO_MacLeod says:
Computer:  Computer, display engineering status, u.s.s. Victoria.  *ACO*:  Already on it sir.
AXO_Kriss says:
*ACO*:  My readings indicate about 3,000.
Host ACO_Sirach says:
*CEO* Keep me informed
Host Jeff says:
<Computer> Sirach: Unable to compute, restate commmmmmmmmmm ::gets stuck in a voice loop::
CEO_MacLeod says:
*ACO*:  Aye aye sir.
CEO_MacLeod says:
::monitors flicker, then display the info::
Host ACO_Sirach says:
::goes to a nearby helm and tries to activate sensors::
Host Jeff says:
ACTION: The helm system is destroyed, crushed, and the consoles dead.   The only system that appears partially operational is Science Console 4.
CEO_MacLeod says:
*ACO*:  Sir, if I'm reading this right, the Victoria has been contained in a recycling statis field.  She's intact and full operational
Host ACO_Sirach says:
::realizes that the helm system is destroyed, goes to Science Console 4 and attempts to activate sensors::
Host Jeff says:
ACTION: Blue alert is still sounding, the stations orbit appears to be decaying.
Host ACO_Sirach says:
*CEO* Excellent
Host ACO_Sirach says:
*CEO & AXO* Report to the Victoria
CEO_MacLeod says:
*ACO*:   Understood
Host ACO_Sirach says:
*AXO* Bring a sample of the dust with you, I'd like to run more analysis of it on Victoria
CEO_MacLeod says:
::abandons engineering, heading for the TL::
Host ACO_Sirach says:
::heads to Victoria::
AXO_Kriss says:
*ACO*: Understood.
Host ACO_Sirach says:
::arrives at the Victoria::
AXO_Kriss says:
::grabs some operational medical equipment along with some samples of the dust and steps out of sickbay and to the tl::           docking bay
Host Jeff says:
ACTION: the Victoria is encased in a stasis field, in order to access the ship, Commander Sirach will have to disable that field.
CEO_MacLeod says:
::a shakey TL ride later, reaches the hanger deck, climbs out of the TL, walks to the Victoria docking port::
Host ACO_Sirach says:
Computer: Disable the stasis field around the Victoria
CEO_MacLeod says:
::sees the ACO::  ACO:  Commander?
AXO_Kriss says:
::steps off of tl and head towards the Victoria, relieved to see the ACO and CEO.::
Host Jeff says:
<Computer> Sirach: Field Disabled.
Host ACO_Sirach says:
CEO & AXO: Good to see you
Host ACO_Sirach says:
CEO: After you ::points to entrace of Victoria::
CEO_MacLeod says:
ACO:  Yeah, right.
CEO_MacLeod says:
::walks into the transfer tunnel::
AXO_Kriss says:
ACO: Can't determine if my son has been turned to dust with the others.::
Host ACO_Sirach says:
::taps entrance code into access panel near entrance to Victoria::
AXO_Kriss says:
CEO:  Thank you.  ::walks to the Victoria::
CEO_MacLeod says:
::reaches the Victoria exterior hatch, it slides open, boards the Vic::
Host ACO_Sirach says:
::boards the Victoria behind the CEO::
CEO_MacLeod says:
::scans with tricorder for life signs::
Host ACO_Sirach says:
CEO: Go to engineering, the AXO and I will go to the bridge
Host ACO_Sirach says:
::heads to the bridge::
CEO_MacLeod says:
ACO:  Very good sir.
Host Jeff says:
ACTION: The Victoria is empty as a tomb.
CEO_MacLeod says:
::heads off for engineering.::
AXO_Kriss says:
::heads to the bridge.::
Host ACO_Sirach says:
::looking around for dust::
Host ACO_Sirach says:
::arrives at the bridge::
Host Jeff says:
ACTION: the Victoria is clean and prestine, she's in perfect condition.
AXO_Kriss says:
::sees that the ship has not been aged like the Station.::
Host ACO_Sirach says:
Computer: How many lifesigns onboard the Victoria?
CEO_MacLeod says:
::reaches engineering::  Computer:  Computer, run a level five diagnostic on all systems
Host ACO_Sirach says:
AXO: she appears to be as clean as the last time we saw her
Host Jeff says:
<Computer> Sirach: Command Access Restricted.  The USS Victoria's computer system is secured.
Host Jeff says:
<Computer> CEO: Command Access Restriced.  The USS Victoria's computer system is secured.
Host ACO_Sirach says:
Computer: Reactivate command access authorization beta 3521
CEO_MacLeod says:
Computer:  Is that a fact?
CEO_MacLeod says:
::calls up a display on the LCARS system::
Host Jeff says:
<Computer> ACO: Recognize, Sirach, Commander.  Commander Access Restored.  Do you wish to restore all computer functions?
Host ACO_Sirach says:
Computer: yes, restore all computer functions
Host ACO_Sirach says:
*CEO* Access Avalon's computer system
Host Jeff says:
ACTION: CEO MacLeod gets nothing on his console until the ACO restores functions, then the display appears normally.
Host ACO_Sirach says:
*AXO* Try to get some sensor readings
Host Jeff says:
<Computer> ACO: Thank you, All Systems Restored.
Host ACO_Sirach says:
Computer: What is today's date?
CEO_MacLeod says:
::display comes on::  Computer:  there ya go, now then, run a level five diagnostic on all systems, and establish a link with the main computer on Avalon 
AXO_Kriss says:
::Nods, sits down at a science stations and starts to run some sensor sweeps of the station, the Victoria and the surrounding space.::
Host ACO_Sirach says:
AXO: Look for any signs of any Federation ships
Host Jeff says:
<Computer> ACO: April 1, 2768
Host ACO_Sirach says:
Computer: Who activated the stasis field around Victoria?
AXO_Kriss says:
ACO: Scans indicate that this ship hasn't aged a day like we haven't.
Host Computer says:
CEO: Unable to comply, Avalon Stations computer system is now totally nonfunctional.
Host Computer says:
ACO: Sirach, Commander.  Acting Commanding Officer.
AXO_Kriss says:
Computer:  please run some long range sensors for any ships especially Federation.
Host ACO_Sirach says:
Computer: Who authorized a computer lockdown?
Host Computer says:
AXO: No ships on sensors.  Avalon Station's hull may be obscureing readings.
Host Computer says:
ACO: Sirach, Commander, Acting Commanding Officer.
CEO_MacLeod says:
::looks over the level five report on systems::  Computer:  All-right, lets bring all main systems on line, power all drives and see if you can release us from the docking ambilicals
AXO_Kriss says:
ACO:  There are no ships in range of the station but some may be obscured by the station.
Host ACO_Sirach says:
Computer: When did I authorize all of this?
Host Computer says:
CEO: Achnoledged, begining start up sequence.  Main power online, Main Drive System online.  All systems online.  Do you wish to clear all moorings?
CEO_MacLeod says:
Computer:  Yes, clear all moorings, and set for precision station keeping 
Host Computer says:
ACTION: The Victoria's running lights come alive, illuminateing the inside of Avalon's space dock.  Hulks of twisted metal, aged in the same way as the station herself, lie in the other berths.
AXO_Kriss says:
ACO: There are no signs of any warp signatures at all, besides our ship's.
Host Computer says:
CEO: Achnoledged.  ::sounds bosun's pipe indicateing departure all over the ship:: Station Keeping Pattern Established.  Warning, Avalon's orbital decay will render us unable to maintain safe position within the next hour.
Host ACO_Sirach says:
AXO: Try to establish communication with Starfleet
Host Computer says:
ACO: Authorization given, 1539hours April 1st, 2368.
CEO_MacLeod says:
*ACO*:  Bridge, recommend we leave the hanger and make for space.
AXO_Kriss ::pulls up communications and tries to establish a link with Starfleet.:: (BUTTON3.wav)
Host ACO_Sirach says:
*CEO* Agreed
Host ACO_Sirach says:
*CEO* The computer said I authorized actions that I did not, and that they happened 400 years ago
Host Computer says:
ACTION: There is no response, not even mechanical with any communications relay station, starbase, starship, colony, homeworld, or outpost.
CEO_MacLeod says:
*ACO*: What?  400 years ago?  that's impossible.
Host ACO_Sirach says:
AXO: Try to access sensor logs from April 1, 2368
Host ACO_Sirach says:
*CEO* My thinking exactly, when we oversleep, we really oversleep
AXO_Kriss says:
ACO: There is not sign of any response, nothing coming back from any stations, ships or planets.
Host ACO_Sirach says:
::pinches himself to make sure he isn't sleeping::
Host Computer says:
ACTION: Sirach's pinching himself hurts. But he's still stuck where he is. He's not sleeping.
CEO_MacLeod says:
*ACO*:  Sounds like a temporal anomoly to me.
Host ACO_Sirach says:
AXO: Scan for any traces of any warp signatures, try to enhance the scan to look for signatures over 300 years old
AXO_Kriss says:
::tries to retrieve the sesnor logs from the last known date but comes back with nothing.::
Host ACO_Sirach says:
*CEO* Yes, but why did it just affect us? Why didn't the crew do anything to prevent their death? Why does the computer think I authorized the protection of Victoria?
AXO_Kriss says:
ACO: There are no sensor logs from that time.
AXO_Kriss says:
ACO: The file is missing.
CEO_MacLeod says:
*ACO*:  You remember temporal mechanics sir, anything is, and will be possible
Host ACO_Sirach says:
*CEO* Try to fix this orbital problem that Avalon is experiencing
Host ACO_Sirach says:
AXO: Do some tests on the dust, try to determine a cause of death, if that's even possible
CEO_MacLeod says:
*ACO*:  Can't do that from here.  Avalon's computer has failed.  Don't know it there's anything we can do.
Host Computer says:
ACTION: the Victoria shudders alarmingly.
Host ACO_Sirach says:
*CEO* Alright, let's get a distance away from Avalon in case something goes bad, then try to establish a connection with Avalon
Host ACO_Sirach says:
AXO: What was that?
Host Computer says:
CEO: Warning, Avalon Station orbital decay at critical.  We will be unable to hold position within space dock in 3 minutes, 27 seconds.  At current rate of decay acceleration.
CEO_MacLeod says:
*ACO*:  Moorings are already cleared, you have manuvering thrusters and impulse at your helm,
Host ACO_Sirach says:
::takes helm and pilots ship away from Avalon::
Host Computer says:
ACTION: the space doors are closed.
AXO_Kriss says:
ACO: don't know.
Host ACO_Sirach says:
*CEO* Mind opening those space doors?
Host Computer says:
ACTION: the space doors are warped and wedged into place.  Also there is no longer any power anywhere on the station.
CEO_MacLeod says:
*ACO*: I can't without Avalon's computer, you are going to have to let a torpedo do it.
Host ACO_Sirach says:
AXO: Let me know the cause of death once your scans are complete
AXO_Kriss says:
::Scans the dust twice to be sure of the readings.::
AXO_Kriss says:
ACO: The cause of death seems to be old age.
Host ACO_Sirach says:
::goes to tactical console and launches two low power short range torpedos at the space doors::
Host Computer says:
ACTION: The Victoria shudders again, and nudges into the remains of a Excelcior Class Combat Services Tender, presumably the Reprisal.
Host ACO_Sirach says:
AXO: Old age? Why did life stop for these people?
Host Computer says:
ACTION: the Reprisal desolves on contact with the Victoria's navigational deflector.
Host ACO_Sirach says:
::notices the remains of a ship on the viewscreen::
CEO_MacLeod says:
::braces against the shudder and impact, sees some damage reports flash up on his monitors::
Host ACO_Sirach says:
::sees it vanish into dust::
Host Computer says:
ACTION: the space doors are blasted open, the station shudders violently, the observation deck can be seen to buckle as the windows burst.
CEO_MacLeod says:
Computer:  reset control systems, and transfer to the bridge, I'm going up there.
Host ACO_Sirach says:
::takes helm again and tries again to pilot Victoria away from Avalon::
CEO_MacLeod says:
::gets up and heads for the bridge::
Host Computer says:
CEO: Achnoledge.
Host Computer says:
Bridge: Warning! Decay accelerating.  USS Victoria will be unable to maintain safe position in 37 seconds.
AXO_Kriss says:
ACO: We have to get out of the station, its orbit is decaying.
Host ACO_Sirach says:
::full impulse away from station::
Host ACO_Sirach says:
::trying to clear the station quickly::
Host ACO_Sirach says:
*CEO* Can we jump to warp?
CEO_MacLeod says:
::steps onto the bridge, and to the engineering console::
CEO_MacLeod says:
ACO:  Warp drive is avaliable sir.
Host ACO_Sirach says:
CEO: Welcome to mystery central
CEO_MacLeod says:
::nods at the ACO::
Host ACO_Sirach says:
::plots course and prepares to engage warp::
Host Computer says:
ACTION: the Stars spin crazily outside of the space doors, the Victoria rushes towards and through them, she is free and clear to navigate.  From aft visuals, Avalon is a twisted hulk, her windows and portals buckled and burst as she slowly twists herself into oblivion.
CEO_MacLeod says:
::watches Avalon on the viewer::
AXO_Kriss says:
ACO: The cellular resido is so badly decayed that I cannot determine for sure why all their lives stopped.
Host ACO_Sirach says:
::instead use full impulse to clear way of Avalon path of destruction::
Host ACO_Sirach says:
::turns ship around to face Avalon::
Host ACO_Sirach says:
AXO: Scan for any starships in the area
CEO_MacLeod says:
ACO:  Sir, if we are 400 years in the future, what of Starfleet and the Federation?
Host ACO_Sirach says:
CEO: Are there any comm buoys nearby?
AXO_Kriss says:
::what a sad site to see.::
Host ACO_Sirach says:
CEO: How can we establish a comm link with Earth?
CEO_MacLeod says:
ACO:  I scan for them.  ::cues active sensor scan::
Host Computer says:
ACTION: No comm bouy's or relays found.
CEO_MacLeod says:
ACO:  Comm system is working sir, we'll try and locate a sub-space relay
CEO_MacLeod says:
ACO:  Mmmm, no, nothing on sensors
AXO_Kriss says:
::takes out medical tricorder and scans the three of us to check on our well being.::
CEO_MacLeod says:
ACO/AXO:  Maybe there is no Federation anymore
Host ACO_Sirach says:
CEO: Even so, there has to be something out there
AXO_Kriss says:
ACO/CEO: Just to let you know, we are all in perfect heath.
CEO_MacLeod says:
ACO:  not reading any decernable comm traffic at all
Host ACO_Sirach says:
CEO: What would cause us to jump forward in time?
CEO_MacLeod says:
ACO:  We need more information to find that out, I haven't a clue
Host ACO_Sirach says:
CEO: Well, start looking for clues
AXO_Kriss says:
ACO: We should head to Starfleet headquarters on Earth.
Host ACO_Sirach says:
AXO: Continue looking for anything
CEO_MacLeod says:
ACO: Yes sir
Host ACO_Sirach says:
AXO: we don't know if it's even there anymore
AXO_Kriss says:
ACO: I know but it would be a good place to start.
CEO_MacLeod says:
ACO:  Might be a place to start, at least closer to Federation space
Host ACO_Sirach says:
AXO: Agreed, set a course, maximum warp, continuous scans
Host Computer says:
ACTION: The Victoria leaps to warp 8, her journey will take at least 3 days.. Best speed.
Host Computer says:
