<><><><><><><><><RESUME MISSION<><><><><><><><><><><

SO_Tarrez:
::On the bridge at science station 1::

CMO_Lea:
::Picks up her PADD and steps out of the CMO's office::

CO_Grant:
::On the bridge::

XO_Lynam:
@::On the Platte, in the co-pilot's seat::

FCO_B`lee:
@XO: So, Commander ... we just going to sit here or did you want to ENTER the nebula ar some point?

ACNS-Duarte:
::on the bridge::

FCO_B`lee:
<@>

OPS_Hawkes:
::at OPS listening to the Cardassian communications. ::

OPS_Hawkes:
::Keeps comm link with the Platte too :

Nicke_:
ACTION: as OPS listens to the Cardassian communications he gets the distinct sound of laughter

CSO_KBeth:
@::scans the nebula to try and get a reading on the mass inside::

CMO_Lea:
::Glances around the quiet, orderly medbay and steps into the corridor. Walks to the turbolift:: TL: Bridge.

XO_Lynam:
@:FCO: anytime you’re ready Lt.  1/4 impulse if you please.

CIV_McLeod:
::back in engineering, monitoring a station::

OPS_Hawkes:
::Brow furrows and mood sours. Glares in the general direction of the Cardassian fleet::

ACNS-Duarte:
::reads nebula readings on PADD, looking for any signs of intelligence::

FCO_B`lee:
@::hrmphs at 1/4 impulse:: XO: Aye sir ... one quarter impulse ... ::engages engines and slips into the nebula at a crawl::

SO_Tarrez:
::Feels her empathic abilities returning and wishing she was not::

Nicke_:
ACTION: the shuttle is suddenly "seized" by an unknown force and pulled deep inside the nebula

CO_Grant:
SO: any more results from the sensors?

SO_Tarrez:
CO: Not at this time

FCO_B`lee:
@::grabs hold of the console:: XO: I didn't do that ... reversing engines, Full!!

CMO_Lea:
::Steps out onto the bridge and stands behind the "command center" seats::

ACNS-Duarte:
::watches as readings change, the shuttle being pulled in::

CO_Grant:
OPS: DO we still have contact with the AT?

CSO_KBeth:
@::watches the sensors leap to life::XO:We are being pulled in from the nebula...trying locating the source...

OPS_Hawkes:
CO: Checking.

CO_Grant:
:: Turns to see CMO:

OPS_Hawkes:
COM:Platte: Do you read? Over.

XO_Lynam:
@COMM:Delphyne: Delphyne, we are being pulled into the nebula, some sort of tractor beam!  Do you read me?

FCO_B`lee:
@::tries to frantically add power to the engines:: XO: Commander, engines are being over powered....

CMO_Lea:
::Nods slightly to the CO, figuring he's likely quite engaged at the moment::

CIV_McLeod:
::watches his display with an unblinking stare::

CO_Grant:
CMO: welcome to the bridge, DR.Lea :: Gestures towards sci station 2::

FCO_B`lee:
@CEO: Are within transporter range of the Del?

OPS_Hawkes:
COM:XO: We read you!

Nicke_:
ACTIONS: transporters are unable to lock on

OPS_Hawkes:
CO: We still have comm with the Platte sir.

XO_Lynam:
@FCO: Try to take a 90 degree course, shear us loose.

CSO_KBeth:
@::grinds teeth in frustration as the sensors are unable to locate the source of the force::

FCO_B`lee:
@::grips his console tightly and seizes on the safety belt pulling it tighter ... reaches over and yanks hard on Lynam's safety belt securing him tighter::

CMO_Lea:
::Looks slightly surprised, but moves to the auxiliary science station and examines the controls::

CO_Grant:
OPS: ask Mr.Lynam if he is being drawn towards the lump

CMO_Lea:
CO: Thank you Captain...

FCO_B`lee:
@XO: Aye sir ... ::throws the thrusters hard over and spins the spin on it's x axis::

CO_Grant:
OPS: Or away

SO_Tarrez:
::Begind to have a sinking feeling as she transfers data to Science station 2::

OPS_Hawkes:
COMM:Platte:XO: Are you being drawn towards the lump? Over.

CIV_McLeod:
::yawns to himself at the unchanging information::

CTO_Psion:
::At tactical::

FCO_B`lee:
@All: I think I just realized why I hate lumps in my oatmeal ... ::glances out the window at the mass::

XO_Lynam:
@COMM: Del: we are trying to shear free, not much luck yet.

Nicke_:
@ACTION: the shuttle is pulled deep within the nebula til it is face to face with the large "object" -ship...

CSO_KBeth:
@XO:The force appears to be originating from the central mass.

XO_Lynam:
@CSO: raise shields, try to modulate them to counteract the beam's effects.

CO_Grant:
*ENG*: Mr.Hunter-Mcleod, see if our tractor beam is available to the bridge we might need it to help the at

CMO_Lea:
::Notices the influx of data to the console:: SO: If there is any way I can help, let me know.   ::Calibrates her controls for readouts on the physical condition of the runabout crew::

XO_Lynam:
@CSO: Well, I'd be surprised if there was something else in here doing it.

FCO_B`lee:
@::feels the ship slow and stop in front of the mass:: XO: We're at relative stop....

CO_Grant:
COMM:AT: MR.Lynam , can you disable the tractor beam at its source?

CSO_KBeth:
@XO:Aye sir ::sets the shield modulation to fluctuate on a random frequency::

OPS_Hawkes:
::checks the cardassian communications for any reaction related to the Platte's being "seized"::

XO_Lynam:
@FCO: I have a feeling we don't have much to say about us getting out of here.  Engines to all stop, prepare a breakaway course and prepare to engage at warp.

CIV_McLeod:
::wakes up out of his stupor:: *CO*ah...aye, captain.  The tractor beam is ready for your use

SO_Tarrez:
CMO:  See if we can pin-point the source of that beam.

FCO_B`lee:
@::undoes his safety strap and stands suddenly moving to the back of the Platte where he opens up the weapons locker::

XO_Lynam:
@COMM:Del: We are at a standstill in front of the target sir.  I'm opting to hold fire for now.

CO_Grant:
CTO: with our runabout being sucked into the lump, do we have tractor beam available at sufficient strength to make a difference? See if we can lock a tractor beam on the platte

FCO_B`lee:
@::returns with a holstered phaser strapped to his waist and hands another to the XO::

CMO_Lea:
::Nods:: SO: Perhaps if we tie the long range sensors through the scanners...

CTO_Psion:
TO:  Are there any power emissions associated with the "lump"?

CSO_KBeth:
@XO:Sensor cannot detect any weapons charging.

CTO_Psion:
CO:  Aye.

CMO_Lea:
SO: Then recalibrate and use a localized beam?

FCO_B`lee:
@::retakes his seat the shuttles controls and sets in the breakaway course:: XO: Breakaway thrusters at your command ... ::hovers his hand over the controls::

XO_Lynam:
@FCO: Thanks.  ::Accepts the phaser and attaches it to his belt.:

SO_Tarrez:
::Helps tie the CMO::

Nicke_:
@ACTION: shuttle is held in place

CO_Grant:
COMM:PLATTE: We are going to try to see if our tractor beam can move you a little

CTO_Psion:
CO:  I must caution that the stress put on the shuttle may compromise its integrity.

SO_Tarrez:
<omit tie>

CIV_McLeod:
::pays more attention to what he's doing::

XO_Lynam:
@CSO: Lt, open hailing frequencies, try friendship messages on all channels.

CTO_Psion:
::Initiates power allocation to tractor beam::

CO_Grant:
CTO: try it but if damage is imminent release the beam

CTO_Psion:
CO: Acknowledged.

OPS_Hawkes:
CO: Sir, I think that if the "thing" wanted to destroy them, it would have done so by now. Instead it drew them towards it. I suspect it wants to communicate with them. ::Thinks "Or eat them"::

CSO_KBeth:
@::isolates the source of the beam::FCO:Sending you the coordinates of the power source of the beam.

Nicke_:
@ACTION: the mass suddenly lights up to show a large ship , the tractor beam begins pulling the shuttle toward it

FCO_B`lee:
@::nods and keys in the coordinates with the navigational deflector:: XO/CSO: That's a big rock...

CSO_KBeth:
@XO:Aye sir. ::opens all channels and sends the standard 'we come in peace' message::

CTO_Psion:
::Configures tractor beam::

CMO_Lea:
::Moves to the SO's console:: SO: If you cross the appropriate systems, I'll work on the recalibration.

CTO_Psion:
::Engages tractor beam::

CTO_Psion:
CO:  Tractor beam engaged.

SO_Tarrez:
CMO:understood

CTO_Psion:
TO:  Monitor stress feedback.

XO_Lynam:
@FCO: Nooooo, that's a big SHIP.  A very big ship.

CIV_McLeod:
::configures systems to give maximum power to tractor beam without affecting other systems::

CO_Grant:
OPS: we shall soon see but i wonder what the cardassians were doing in the nebula with this lump

CSO_KBeth:
@::looks at the ship and glances at the FCO::FCO:Make that a BIG ship!

SO_Tarrez:
::rapidly hits a few buttons::

OPS_Hawkes:
Comm:Platte: Can you see the ship? Can you ID it?

XO_Lynam:
@FCO: Do you recognize it's make?  Try the library computer if you don't.  I haven't seen anything like it.

CMO_Lea:
::Taps the buttons and slides her fingers down a control:: SO: Ready?

CTO_Psion:
::Scans newfound ship with tactical sensors::

FCO_B`lee:
@::cringes and scans the ship entering it's dimensions into the database:: XO: It's a ....

SO_Tarrez:
CMO:Ready

CMO_Lea:
::Turns back toward her "own" console:: SO: Sensors all your, Ensign. ::Smiles::

XO_Lynam:
@COMM:Del: We are facing an immense ship of unknown origin.  We are being pulled toward it.

CSO_KBeth:
@::monitors the stresses of the shuttle from the two tractor beams::XO:If we keep getting pulled in both directions we're going to come apart.

OPS_Hawkes:
::Checks the Cardassian comms again. To see if there's any indication that they know what's in the nebula::

CO_Grant:
COMM:PLatte: XO, then don't fight it attempt to disable at source

CMO_Lea:
::Waits for the SO to begin scanning so she can glance over the results.  refocuses on monitoring the AT's lifesigns::

CSO_KBeth:
@::sends all of the sensor information back to the Del in a tight beam::

CO_Grant:
CTO: disengage our tractor beam

XO_Lynam:
@::With the power of the large ship's beam, didn't even notice the Delphyne's attempt to free them::

CTO_Psion:
CO:  Could they initiate a repulsive shielding effect?

FCO_B`lee:
XO: That's ... correlates in the ship's database. ::looks at the XO confusedly:: It's Federation ...

CTO_Psion:
::Disengages tractor beam::

SO_Tarrez:
::receives sensor information and crosses it with her scans::

CSO_KBeth:
@::tries to remodulate the shields::

CO_Grant:
CTO: might not be enough power in runabout to attempt it for now

XO_Lynam:
@COMM: CO: Sir, I really don't want to tick this thing off.  ::Looks at B'lee in surprise:: and besides Captain, it's a....Federation ship

XO_Lynam:
@FCO: Say what?

CMO_Lea:
::Notes that their bio readouts seem to indicate elevated levels of stress, but no other maleffects at present::

CO_Grant:
:: surprised look on his face::

CIV_McLeod:
::hmms to himself, wondering where he can squeeze power from if necessary::

CO_Grant:
OPS: did Mr.Lynam say lump was federation in origin?

CSO_KBeth:
@XO:We will be entering the ship in 10 minutes and...::hears the XO:: What?  It's one of ours?

XO_Lynam:
@::Looks more closely at the vessel, trying to see the Federation resemblance::

FCO_B`lee:
@XO: It correlates to a vessel that ... out of time.  From the Voyager logs sent over on project pathfinder.  It's matches the description of the Aeon.

OPS_Hawkes:
CO: Eyebrows raised:: I think so sir.

OPS_Hawkes:
COMM:PLatte: Please repeat. Did you say a Federation ship? Over.

FCO_B`lee:
@::notes they are still moving closer and closer::

SO_Tarrez:
::notices on her scans that it is in fact a fed. ship::

CO_Grant:
CTO,OPS: could the cardassians have a disabled federation ship left over from Dominion war?

CSO_KBeth:
@::thinks to self:I never saw this in my "Federation Ships For Dummies' book::

ACNS-Duarte:
SO: What type of Federation Vessel is that ?

OPS_Hawkes:
CO: Possibly. ::Checks the records for Fed ships known missing or captured during the Dom wars::

XO_Lynam:
@COMM:OPS: That's affirmative.  Access library database for Voyager communications, subject Federation Starship Aeon.

CO_Grant:
COMM:PLATTE: any signs of damage to this ship like phaser hits and torpedo hits? Consistent with exercise?

CTO_Psion:
CO:  The possibilty is a high likelihood.  During the war there were thousands of ship losses among them not all were complete.  I am sure some were salvaged just as the Federation salvaged some Jem'Hadar ships.

OPS_Hawkes:
COMM:PLatte: Aye!

OPS_Hawkes:
::Brings up Voyager comms on Aeon::

XO_Lynam:
@COMM:CO:Stand by.

CO_Grant:
CTO: but if advanced ship unlikely it took place during dominion war

CSO_KBeth:
@::scans the ship for damage::XO:Negative on any phaser burns or weapons damage

XO_Lynam:
@FCO: Scan for damage to that ship, also see if you can get any indication of it's power output, weapons load-out etcetera.

FCO_B`lee:
@::sees they are still being pulled towards what looks to be a shuttlebay:: XO: Ummm ... I don't mean to be pushy, but .... ::points at how close they are to the ship::

XO_Lynam:
@FCO: Never mind the damage scan. ::Grins at K'Beth::

CMO_Lea:
SO: Everything all right?

SO_Tarrez:
::Realizes it was a bad time for her empathic abilities to surface as she feels the tension::

CIV_McLeod:
::wonders what's going on and patches into sci to see::

XO_Lynam:
@FCO: Alright Lieutenant, what would you suggest?

SO_Tarrez:
CMO: Still trying to determine the type of ship

CSO_KBeth:
@XO:5 minutes until impact...er, docking...

CO_Grant:
COMM:PLATTE:maybe you can fly this odd ship out of nebula or destroy it to avoid further loss of federation technology

FCO_B`lee:
@XO: Ummmm .....

CTO_Psion:
CO:  The ships' action while aggressive, seem non-lethal.

CO_Grant:
CTO: It looks like our people are about to enter that ship anyway

CSO_KBeth:
@ALL: 3 1/2 minutes until entry.

CTO_Psion:
SO:  Initiate scans of the power core and correlate with known Federation ships.

XO_Lynam:
@FCO: Exactly Lieutenant.  I don't think we have much hope of getting away from it....it could have destroyed us any time up til now....it's obviously more advanced than us so it can't want out ship.  I say we ride this out and see what's inside.

CMO_Lea:
CO: Sir, can the Away team ascertain that there are no lifesigns aboard the vessel? ::Rather concerned that they might destroy the ship if sensors do not reply correctly::

FCO_B`lee:
@::sees the doors to the 'shuttlebay' open and the shuttle slips in landing softly::

XO_Lynam:
@CSO: Very well.  Grabs  a phaser and tricorder if you haven't already.

CO_Grant:
CMO: good idea to check for a crew onboard of that ship

XO_Lynam:
@COMM: DEL: We are entering the vessel, wish us luck.

CSO_KBeth:
@::tries to scan the interior for lifesigns but sensors are thrown back::XO: Already did ::grins::

CMO_Lea:
::Nods and scans with her nice, hyper sensors::

CO_Grant:
COMM:PLATTE: Cmo wants you to look for a crew aboard and ascertain their condition

CTO_Psion:
OPS:  Are comm frequencies still active?

CSO_KBeth:
@ALL:30 seconds....

FCO_B`lee:
@::stands and upholsters his phaser setting it on liquefy before moving to the hatch out of the runabout::

OPS_Hawkes:
CTO: Yes sir. Still active.

XO_Lynam:
@FCO: Not that we'll need to but prepare to set us down.

Nicke_:
@ACTION: the shuttle crew hears an intruder alert go off as they are pulled into the bay

FCO_B`lee:
@::looks back at the XO and wonders if there is a time displacement between where he is standing at the hatch and the controls the XO is sitting at::

SO_Tarrez:
::Feels very frustrated that she can't get any better readings::

CIV_McLeod:
::mutters to himself about not being able to do anything::

CMO_Lea:
::Mumbles half to herself..."If it is a disabled Federation ship, the crew may not be hailing because they are incapacitated...perhaps we should have sent someone along from my department afterall..."::

XO_Lynam:
@::looks at the inside of the large bay::

CSO_KBeth:
@ALL: Isn't that the standard federation 'intruder alert' sound?

FCO_B`lee:
@::hears the wailing on an intruder alert outside the hatch::

CO_Grant:
::waiting for reports from AT::

CTO_Psion:
::Hears intruder alert over the comm channel::

CTO_Psion:
::Raises eyebrow::

FCO_B`lee:
@::shrugs:: CSO: Dunno ... haven't intruded on many Federation ships.  You klingons would know that sound better than me.

CSO_KBeth:
@::grins and mock growls at the FCO::

FCO_B`lee:
@XO: Commander? Permission to de-shuttle?

SO_Tarrez:
CMO: my scans are showing the interior of the ship now what do you make of it?

OPS_Hawkes:
CTO: Suppose this ship _is _ a Fed ship, and it's unmanned. Are there any standard defensive measures that would implement automatically?

CSO_KBeth:
@::wonders when they are going to leave the shuttle as her neck is getting a crick from standing hunched over in the airlock::

CO_Grant:
OPS: I think this is significant finding a federation ship in this nebula. Send a message of current results to Starfleet Command.

CTO_Psion:
OPS:  Not any so sophisticated as tractoring a shuttle.

FCO_B`lee:
@::shakes the XO lightly ... wonders if he has been possessed::

XO_Lynam:
@FCO/CSO: As long as there's an atmosphere out there, let's go.

FCO_B`lee:
@::nods:: XO: One way to find out ... ::opens the airlock and is met by a rush of air::

CSO_KBeth:
@XO/FCO: Scans show perfect oxygenated atmosphere.

FCO_B`lee:
@::fairly jumps out of the side hatch of the runabout::

CO_Grant:
ACNS,MED: how are the lifesigns of our AT members?

OPS_Hawkes:
CTO: True. But why would you tractor a shutle, and then run "intruder alert"? It doesn't seem to make much sense to me.

XO_Lynam:
@FCO: Well that is one way.  I like her way better.  ::Grins::

FCO_B`lee:
@::makes exaggerated sniffing and deep breathing motions:: XO: Seems okay to me...

CTO_Psion:
COMM:  XO:  We read no life signs aboard the ship.

CSO_KBeth:
@::jumps out after the FCO and looks around scanning with the tricorder::

CMO_Lea:
SO: Not much.. No detectable life signs..no damage.  It seems deserted.

XO_Lynam:
@CSO: see if you can scan any life forms now that we're inside.

CO_Grant:
OPS: maybe programmed to tractor all nearby ships then go to alert before visitors are considered friendly

OPS_Hawkes:
CTO: Unless the intruder alert was already running before we came here?

CTO_Psion:
OPS:  Clearly an illogical mentality is at work.

XO_Lynam:
@FCO: Mr. B'lee, can you tell the registry of that Galaxy class sitting over there?

FCO_B`lee:
@::steps away from the runabout and mutters:: Self: Behold, I am the archangel Gabriel ....

CTO_Psion:
CO:  If so then why operate within a nebula?

CSO_KBeth:
@XO: The readings are unclear.  There is something but I can't get a lock on it.

Nicke_:
@ACTION: each member of the shuttle see something different

CMO_Lea:
CO: They seem less pensive than during their flight to the ship.  The vitals would still look nicer if they'd calm down a little more.   No noticeable effects from the vessel's atmosphere, although it is still to early to know for certain.

XO_Lynam:
@COMM: Delphyne: Delphyne, we have landed aboard the ship.  It is immense, roughly the size of a Starbase.  No life signs yet.

FCO_B`lee:
@::looks around:: XO: Huh? ::does not see any Galaxy class ... but look at the Vulcan science vessel ... perfect condition::

CO_Grant:
CMO: acknowledged, oh by the way , good report on MEDBAY

OPS_Hawkes:
CTO/CO: Speculation. Suppose an intruder alert situation occurred involving the loss or evacuation of the crew. Perhaps an intruder situtation. Then the ship goes and hides in a nebula waiting for another Fed ship to come along?

CSO_KBeth:
@::looks in astonishment at both the XO and FCO:: XO/FCO: Sorry guys, but this is definitely a Klingon Dreadnought.

CIV_McLeod:
::checks on power levels again::

XO_Lynam:
@FCO: Looks at B'lee stragely:: FCO: Lt, for a hotshot pilot your ship recognition skills are terrible.  That..::Points:: is a Galaxy class starship.

FCO_B`lee:
@::looks at the CSO stupidly:: CSO: And I suppose that Bajoran Solar sail vessel over their is a Bird of Prey, right? ::gestures faintly::

CMO_Lea:
::Nods to the CO and tries to get a more localized scan on the atmospheric conditions aboard the ship::

XO_Lynam:
@::hears the CSO and relaxes.::

OPS_Hawkes:
SO: Can you pick up any life-pods on that ship?

SO_Tarrez:
::tries to boost the power of the sensors::

CSO_KBeth:
@::FCO: actually there are several Birds of Prey in this bay.::shows him the tricorder:: See?

CTO_Psion:
OPS:  The only reason for a crew evacuation would be in the event of a disabling of a ship.  If the ship is disabled then it must follow that it cannot move into a nebula.

CO_Grant:
CTO: Could the ship have been travelling then ditched while in nebula or towed there?

FCO_B`lee:
@::looks at her tricorder:: CSO: Think I can't tell the difference between ... hey ... look at that. ::points at the tricorder::

XO_Lynam:
@FCO/CSO: Alright.  I think we are all seeing different things here.  Let's try this a different way.

CO_Grant:
COMM:PLatte: XO: Mr.Lynam see if you can reach the bridge of odd vessel

SO_Tarrez:
OPS: All pods are accounted for.

CSO_KBeth:
@::looks at the tricorder::FCO:What do YOU see?

CTO_Psion:
CO:  Neither of those possibilities would account for our inability to scan the ship prior to this event.

OPS_Hawkes:
SO: Thanks. Well that shoots my theory. ::smiles::

CTO_Psion:
CO:  I must add that we believed we were detecting a cloaked ship.

XO_Lynam:
@COMM:Del: Acknowledged

FCO_B`lee:
@::grins at her:: CSO: A Klingon who should have stepped a few more steps closer tot he sonic shower ....

CO_Grant:
CTO: federation ships would not normally have a cloaking system

XO_Lynam:
@FCO/CSO: You heard the man, let's see if we an even find the bridge.

CIV_McLeod:
::nods to himself, glad the AT isn't in any danger at the moment::

FCO_B`lee:
@::nods at the XO and follows him fairly running from K'Beth::

CSO_KBeth:
@::grins back at the FCO:: FCO: Don't make me have to hurt you....

CTO_Psion:
CO:  Therefore we have yet to arrive to the logical conclusion.

CO_Grant:
CTO: any evidence of weapons fire from the odd vessel recently?

CTO_Psion:
CO:  Scanning.

XO_Lynam:
@CSO: Does your tricorder give accurate readings for the structure of this thing?

CTO_Psion:
::Scans for traces of projected energy::

FCO_B`lee:
@XO: Walks alongside the XO:: XO: An ancestor of mine maintained that if you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth ... we're on a cloaked ship of some kind.

CSO_KBeth:
@XO: If you don't see a Klingon Dreadnought and Birds of Prey....no it doesn't.

FCO_B`lee:
@::checks the charge on his phaser and looks back to make sure the extremely quiet CEO is keeping up::

CO_Lynam:
@FCO: Ancestor huh?  Well, the only option in case of a holodeck style trap is to shoot out the emitters and I'm a bit concerned with that.  If it isn't a holodeck then we are inside something verrrry dangerous.

OPS_Hawkes:
COM:XO: Is the ship's computer responding to verbal commands over there?

CTO_Psion:
CO:  Scans of the hull indicate weapons discharge similar to Romulan and Klingon style disruptors, Federation phasers, Cardassian explosives, Breen energy cannons and Dominion offensive weaponry.

CSO_KBeth:
@XO/FCO: Unfortunately the tricorder is not working at all.  Unless there really IS a large purple bunny rabbit over to our left.  If so, then the tricorder is working perfectly.

CO_Grant:
CTO: so this ship has been hit hard

XO_Lynam:
@:SHIP: uh, computer?  Can you respond?

FCO_B`lee:
@CSO: I thought it was a pair of small Bynars ... ::sighs::

FCO_B`lee:
@::thinks 'hello computer'::

Nicke_:
@ACTION : the sudden activation of the bridge startles the crew 

FCO_B`lee:
@::turns around:: CEO: Make sure you keep up!!!

XO_Lynam:
@CEO: Reconfigure a tricorder to emit an echolocatio type pulse.  See if you can get an accurate reading on the dimensions of the ship.

CSO_KBeth:
@::whirls around as the computers all beep, blink and wink at the same time::

CO_Grant:
SO: co-ordinate with CSO , check to be sure that odd ship has same phase as we do

CTO_Psion:
COMM:  XO:  Is there any computer activity such as a hypothetical Styx registery?

FCO_B`lee:
@XO: I think you got it's attention...

OPS_Hawkes:
::Wonders if this is how Lynam plans to become a Captain?::

CEO_Winner:
@::following the XO::

Nicke_:
@<COMPUTER> please state your name, rank and serial number f

FCO_B`lee:
@::makes his way, naturally, to what he assumes is the Captain's Command Chair::

CSO_KBeth:
@XO: I think it's for you ::grins::

Nicke_:
@<computer> all those designated for termination are to head to med bay one or two

SO_Tarrez:
CO: Request lunching a probe to boost power to the senors.

FCO_B`lee:
@::raises an eyebrow:: All: That doesn't sound good ... ::sits in the Command Chair and begins idly playing with buttons:::

CSO_KBeth:
@ALL:That is definitely NOT for me ::heads over to where the science station should be::

CIV_McLeod:
::rubs his nose and thinks about what to do::

XO_Lynam:
@CEO: See if you can determine how much different from our tech thses computer stations are.

CTO_Psion:
CO:  The ships hull still maintains a high degree of integrity.

Nicke_:
@ACTION: as the FCO plays with the buttons in the command chair he is suddenly zapped 

CO_Grant:
CTO: acknowledged

CEO_Winner:
@XO: Yes sir

FCO_B`lee:
@::holsters his phaser and pulls up a schematic of the ship on the command monitor ... gets zapped and jumps out of the chair::

XO_Lynam:
@:Comp: Commander Fox Lynam, First Officer.  ::Gives registry number::

CO_Grant:
SO,CTO: before launching any probes check with AT so that we don't hurt their chances of leaving that weird ship

FCO_B`lee:
@::screams lightly and curses ... pulls his earing off throwing it down on the floor:: All: Damn, I did not realize my earring would conduct electricity!!

CEO_Winner:
@::scanning with tricorder::

Nicke_:

CSO_KBeth:
@::watches the FCO leap out of the chair with static electricity dribbling off of him:: FCO: Are you okay?

SO_Tarrez:
Comm:Platte: Would are lunching a probe hurt your position in any way?

FCO_B`lee:
@::rubs at his burned ear:: CSO: I think I'm okay ....

XO_Lynam:
@Computer: Please tell me the name and location of the Captain.

CSO_KBeth:
@XO: I wouldn't if I were you.

@<computer> the captain is not aboard

CO_Grant:
CTO,SO: prepare a probe but don't launch just yet

CTO_Psion:
COMM:  XO:  Define: "Flaky" computer.

@COMM:OPS: hawkes, access library records for a Captain Teasdale.  Give me anything you have, including possible relatives now serving in Starfleet.

SO_Tarrez:
CO: Aye sir

CSO_KBeth:
@COMM:SO: Negative.  I don't think the probe will affect us either way.  Launch at your discretion.

Nicke_:
@ACTION: the entire away team is suddenly beamed to med bay one

SO_Tarrez:
::prepares a class 2 probe::

FCO_B`lee:
@::walks over to the door marked Ready Room and glances in as it swooshes open:: Self: OOooohhh ... nice couch ....

FCO_B`lee:
@::struggles to pull his phaser out of its holster and swings it left ... right ... not sure who to point it at as he is so frantic::

Nicke_:
@ACTION: the doctors continue moving toward them .their eyes vacant

CTO_Psion:

CTO_Psion:
OPS:  Can we transport them from their current location?

XO_Lynam:
@CEO/FCO: Set phasers to stun, fire at two meters

CSO_KBeth:
@::Stands ready with phaser aimed at the lead doctor::XO: I don't think they are listening...

@::drops his phaser as he struggles to get away from the Butchers::

CO_Grant:
SO: acknowledged see if probe can help with transporters

CEO_Winner:
@::tries to get out phase, but cant because of the doctors::

FCO_B`lee:
@::pokes one in the eyes, kicks another in the shins::

CSO_KBeth:
@::Fires off a shot at the lead doctor and watches him go down.  Starts to fight with the others.  Drops one but 2 more take his place::

CIV_McLeod:
*CO* Pardon me, sir, but I was thinking we might be able to knock their shields out if we can somehow cause a reaction in the nebula, perhaps?::

CTO_Psion:
COMM:  XO:  Are they humanoid or mechaniod?

FCO_B`lee:
@::hears the spine of one crack as he twists someone's head frantically::

OPS_Hawkes:

CIV_McLeod:
::hurries to the transporter room::

CSO_KBeth:
@::throws another over her head and heads over to the FCO::

CO_Grant:
CTO: co-ordinate with CIV to try to use linked transporters maybe we can get our people out of that ship and back to platte

CEO_Winner:
@::tries to get out of the straps::

OPS_Hawkes:
CTO: Transporters do not seem to be effective.

CTO_Psion:
CO:  Recommend offensive tactics.  Perhaps this will rechannel the "ships" efforts.

Nicke_:
@ACTION: FCO IS subdued and tied down to a bed

OPS_Hawkes:
CTO: Neither do the shutdown codes for the Futura.

CIV_McLeod:
::arrives in TR1::

FCO_B`lee:

FCO_B`lee:
@::feels the straps tighten and tighten as he continues to struggle against them screaming at the top of his lungs ... or is it just that he is starting to hyperventilate::

CTO_Psion:
CO:  Shall we attempt to hail the ship?

CMO_Lea:
SO: Can you read any sort of frequency that may be being used to control the "drones"?

OPS_Hawkes:
::Tries to access the Platte's transporter remotely, and at least beam them back to the Platte::

CO_Grant:
CTO: try it

Nicke_:
@doctor injects the CEO with a sedative knocking him out::

@::fights to loosen the straps and spits in the face of the doctor standing next to her.  Curses in 12 languages::

FCO_B`lee:
@::feels blood flowing where the straps are cutting into him and continues to wriggle against the tie downs trying to bite anyone who gets close enough:: All: I'll gnaw your arms off!!

XO_Lynam:
@Thinks "I'm gonna die on my birthday.  That really stinks.

Nicke_:
@ACTION: the drone moves in on K Beth and hypos her also

CIV_McLeod:
::waits in TR1, trying to get a lock::

OPS_Hawkes:

CIV:Would more power help you?

CO_Grant:
OPS: continue to try

Nicke_:
@ACTION: all AT members are given sedatives

OPS_Hawkes:
CO: Will do. ::Keeps trying::

SO_Tarrez:
*CIV*: would more power help you?

CMO_Lea:
<reperatory>

Nicke_:
@<COMM> all systems functional and operational. All prisoners sedated and prepared for transport ..or destruction

OPS_Hawkes:
CTO: There you go.

OPS_Hawkes:
::keeps trying to get the AT back to the platte.:::

CIV_McLeod:
*SO*:  I think so...I'm going to try and send an automated transport signal to the other ship, try to use it's transporters to beam them back

CO_Grant:
CTO: Order that ship to release the prisoners and stand down its tractor beams and weapons

CTO_Psion:
COMM:  Futura:  Prepare all prisoners for transport.

Nicke_:
@COMMM: ::hesitation:: All prisoners ready for transport
