MO_Lea:
::touches a small button and is please with the results::

CEOLefler:
*EO*: Report on your progress ensign

OPS_Lynam:
CSO: How about we try looking through the library computer for any information about this planet?

EO_Mac:
*CO* : I'm working on the Europa, she was torn up pretty bad down on Denil III:

CSOPoulos:
::looks to Lynam and nods:: OPS: ok...

Es`Shere:
CSO:May I be of assistance Poulos.. I can search throught the library here  ::motions to the second SCI station::

XO_Wall:
::nods to the crew as he sits down::

EO_Mac:
*CEO* : I'm about 45% done, her shields had been torn up pretty bad:

CTO_Psion:
::Walks up to Dr. Lea::

MO_Lea:
::smiles:: CTO: May I help you?

XO_Wall:
::checks status panel at his seat::

CEOLefler:
*EO* Thank you Mr. Macpherson. Keep me apprised

EO_Mac:
*CEO*: aye, sir

Es`Shere:
::stands there waiting for a reply from CSoO.. he appears rather busy with his console::

CTO_Psion:
MO: Yes.  It appears that I am still having some headaches, presumably due to my telepathic link.  But I would request a medical scan.

CSOPoulos:
Shere: that would be great, thanks

EO_Mac:
*CEO*: I'll have her ready for anther trip down to Denil III, I'd say in about 3 hours

Es`Shere:
::nods and smiles at him.. steps to SCI 2 and gets to work::

MO_Lea:
CTO: That's fine. If you'll lay on the biobed, I'll begin the scan

CTO_Psion:
::Walks over to the bed and lies down::

CEOLefler:
*EO*: Understood Mr Macpherson. Let me know if you need any help.

EO_Mac:
::running level 1 diagnostics on the dampers::

MO_Lea:
::activates the console and as it raises, begins a few cranial and neural scans::

CSOPoulos:
::rubs eyes::

Es`Shere:
::enters information directing computer for information on planet.. looks around the bridge as her console blinks searching.. ::

LtJg_Cray:
::Punches in some parameters for one experiment::

EO_Mac:
*CEO*: understood, I have a suggestion as to how to make her ready to take on those storms and I'll need CSO Poulos's help as well

CSOPoulos:
OPS: have you found anything yet?

OPS_Lynam:
::Yawns and redirects comm scanning to the planet's surface::

OPS_Lynam:
CSO: No, the moon's storms make it impossible to scan the surface accurately.

MO_Lea:
::retracts the console::

CTO_Psion:
::Sees console retract::

CTO_Psion:
::Awaits Dr.'s report::

EO_Mac:
*CEO*: running level 1 diagnostics on the dampener's as well

MO_Lea:
CTO: It seems there is a slight fluctuation in your brain's Psilosynine levels. I don't know what I could do for it though. They may go away with time

Es`Shere:
::continues her search:::

CO_Grant:
:: on the bridge::

CO_Grant:
OPS:Learn anythng from Comm channels?

MO_Lea:
CTO: I have had the same, after effects as you report, though.

Es`Shere:
::nods as the CO appears::

OPS_Lynam:
CO: Negative sir.  All bands are clear.  Nothign anomalous.

CO_Grant:
OPS: acknowledged

Nicke_AGM:
ACTION: comm channels pick up static communications from nearby transport and cargo ships

CO_Grant:
SCI: Anything interesting on the sensors?

CEOLefler:
::getting bored in ME decided to go to Bridge::

CSOPoulos:
CO: just the usuall

TO-Hawkes:
::Tactical scans on cargo ships::

EO_Mac:
*CEO*: understood, I have a suggestion as to how to make her ready to take on those storms and I'll need CSO Poulos's help as well

CTO_Psion:
MO:  I have been attempting deep meditations with small progress.  I will admit my mixed heritage has frequently presented medical anomalies.

XO_Wall:
::looks at status panel screen again at his seat::

CO_Grant:
CSO: check some lower frequencies as well

OPS_Lynam:
::Since there is nothing in system, begins monitoring the freighter traffic::

CO_Grant:
XO: I hope you have recovered , Mr.Wall

CSOPoulos:
CO: I am checking all frequencies and bandwidths

MO_Lea:
CTO: I would imagine. Vulcans are somewhat telepathic to a degree, are they not?

LtJg_Cray:
::Wonders what may be going on the bridge::

XO_Wall:
CO: not 100% myself but much better than I was, glad to be back on duty

CO_Grant:
CSO: good

CEOLefler:
*EO*: Go ahead with what ever you need. I'll inform Poulous you will require his assitance

CO_Grant:
XO: You might have to return toDenil III if new data emerges

CTO_Psion:
MO:  Yes, and it compliments my Betazoid telepathy.  But there are instances where the empathic senses of a half-Betazoid conflict with Vulcan mental discipline.

Es`Shere:
::thinks he looks more than a 100% better just by being alive::

CEOLefler:
::enters Bridge::

Nicke_AGM:
ACTION: sensors pick up a disturbance   approximately one light year fromtheir current position

XO_Wall:
CO: ::sighs:: just as long as we are well prepared and protected this time sir

EO_Mac:
*CEO*: aye

CEOLefler:
CSO: Poulous. Ensign Macpherson sais he needs your help with midifications to the Europa.

CO_Grant:
XO: It is important to learn from past missions, lessons learned is what the Academy calls it

Es`Shere:
::transfers all information that she has compiled to CSO::  CSO: there you are  ::smiles as his console beeps with the delivery::

TO-Hawkes:
::Performs Tactical scans of disturbance::

CSOPoulos:
CEO: aye

CSOPoulos:
Shere: thanks.  ::returns smile::

MO_Lea:
CTO: yes. That conflict exists in all humans, at least, but it must be intesified in two conflicting temperments

XO_Wall:
CO: well certainly wouldnt want to do it again they way we did enough fun for one day::grins::

CEOLefler:
Shere: Hello Counselor. You are looking lovely...as usual

Es`Shere:
::console beeps: CSO: Disturbance ditected

EO_Mac:
*CEO*: level 1 diagnostics reveal that the Europa's dampener's are badly damaged as well

CO_Grant:
::hears about a disturbance::

CO_Grant:
CSO: Could that be from a ship?

CSOPoulos:
Shere: good show me...

CTO_Psion:
MO: How strong are your telepathic abilities?

CSOPoulos:
OPS: are you reading this?

Es`Shere:
XO:We seem to be picking up a disturbance. looks to be ::studies console: about a light year away.. bearing ::gives coordinates::

OPS_Lynam:
::Brings a sensor scan up on display::  CSO: I'm tracking it now.

CSOPoulos:
CO: I'm checking it.......

XO_Wall:
Shere: send coordinates to FCO station

CO_Grant:
DUTYFCO: Plot an intercept course to disturbance

Es`Shere:
::so intent on looking at the XO she almost did not hear her console beep.. blushes slightly and looks away::

CSOPoulos:
CO:  it looks like it could be a ship..... i need confermation from OPS

Es`Shere:
FCO: At you console ::Sends::

Nicke_AGM:
<DUTYFCO>: aye sir! ::plots an intecept course::

XO_Wall:
<FCOHunter> ::recieves coordinates::

OPS_Lynam:
::Begins intensified scan::

TO-Hawkes:
::Tactical scan of disturbance:;

CO_Grant:
CSO: Are they in trouble?

Nicke_AGM:
ACTION: scans reveal debris

Es`Shere:
::begins deeper search for disturbance::

OPS_Lynam:
:;Directs communications gear that way as well::

OPS_Lynam:
CO: It appears to be a debris field Captain

XO_Wall:
<FCOHunter> CO: course plotted and ready

MO_Lea:
::slightly hesitant:: CTO: For the most part, I only sense emotion, intents, and in some instances, two whom the feeling is projected at. I can, of course comminicate telepathically with other telepaths and empaths. I was also able to communicate with well trained non-telepaths, but only in a few instances

TO-Hawkes:
::Tactical scan for warp signatures::

CO_Grant:
XO: we need more information, this might be the result of a pirate attack, I intend to investigate

Es`Shere:
::gets information at the same time OPS does::  Aloud: Same here... debris

CO_Grant:
DUTYFCO: Engage intercept course, Warp 2

CO_Grant:
TAC: Yellow Alert

TO-Hawkes:
CO: Yellow alert Aye.

OPS_Lynam:
::Brings ship's power to yellow alert status::

TO-Hawkes:
*Shipwide*: YELLOW ALERT

Es`Shere:
::looks towards the viewer waiting for a real look::

XO_Wall:
<FCOHunter> ::engages warp 2::

XO_Wall (Sound - Warp.wav):

EO_Mac:
::checking deflector shields::

CTO_Psion:
MO:  Intersting.  Perhaps we could train together some time.  ::Notices yellow alert:: I must report to the bridge.  My thanks doctor.  ::leaves medical::

MO_Lea:
::sees yellow alert and brings up the bridge condition on a nearby console::

LtJg_Cray:
::Notices power fluctuate and color schemes change to yellow alert::

CO_Grant:
CNSLR: Ms Es'shere If there are survivors, it would be useful if you conducted the interviews

CEOLefler:
::Pulls out chair by Engineering console, turns it towards viewscrene and sits down.::

Es`Shere:
:;tries narrowing scans hoping ot get the needed information before they arrive::

Nicke_AGM:
ACTION: as the Delphyne approaches the coordinates, the debris field is spread all over..it appears to be that of a merchant ship.. a familiear one

CSOPoulos:
::sets pannel to yellow altert::

Es`Shere:
CO: Yes sir.  I wil be ready

CTO_Psion:
::Enters turbolift::

OPS_Lynam:
CSO: Suggest that you scan for residual weapon signatures.

CEOLefler:
*EO*: Mr Macpherson I certainly hope you have made your way to Main Engineering by now?

MO_Lea:
::goes back to the medication she is trying to perfect::

EO_Mac:
*CEO* : on my way

CSOPoulos:
OPS: I'm already on it.......

CO_Grant:
CSO: See if there is anything left of that ship that might identify it

TO-Hawkes:
::Tactical scan for unfriendlies::

EO_Mac:
::runs to TL and enters::

CEOLefler:
*EO*: Thank you Mr. Macpherson. I want my officers in Engineering during any alert situation

EO_Mac:
TL: ME

CSOPoulos:
CO: aye

CTO_Psion:
::Enters bridge::

CO_Grant:
TAC: Scan for departing weapon signatures

Es`Shere:
:;tires to identify ship along with the CSO::

TO-Hawkes:
CO: Aye sir!

CO_Grant:
DUTYFCO: brings to full stop just short of the debris field

CSOPoulos:
::glad to have help at SCI::

TO-Hawkes:
::Scans for departing weaps signatures::

XO_Wall:
::looks at the debris field on screen::

OPS_Lynam:
::Begins system wide scan for unusual comm signals::

EO_Mac:
*CEO* I wasn't sure, I was getting ready contact you and ask, but you beat me to it

CTO_Psion:
::Approaches tactical station::

CO_Grant:
*MEDBAY* : Be on the standby we are investigating a destroyed ship, you might have customers

Es`Shere:
CSO: I can get nothing.. just traces of signatures.. all jumbled..  ::frowns::

Nicke_AGM:
ACTION: weapon signatures appear to be federation in origin...and yet......not

MO_Lea:
*CO*: Yes Sir.

XO_Wall:
<FCOHunter>: ::ativates full stop as we glide just short of the debris field::

CEOLefler:
*EO* Everyting is excusable once Mr Macpherson. Make sure the warp core and power relays are secured

EO_Mac:
::exits TL, runs to ME:::

TO-Hawkes:
::Confused::CO: Weapons signature seams to be Fed. and not...

MO_Lea:
::carries the whole tray to a diagnostic table and sets it down::

XO_Wall:
All: Federation?

EO_Mac:
*CEO*: aye

Es`Shere:
::mummbles:: Maquis? I wonder..  ::scans intensify the closer they are::

OPS_Lynam:
CO: I believe its the Andromeda sir.

CTO_Psion:
::Attempts scan from another console to clarify the signature::

CO_Grant:
TAC: Odd, keep scanning, include scanning for survivors and life signs like lifepods

CSOPoulos:
CO: confirmed

TO-Hawkes:
::Notices CTO:: CTO: We just came across a debris field...

LtJg_Cray:
::Keeps working on experiments::

TO-Hawkes:
CO: Aye sir

XO_Wall:
CO: perhaps stolen Feferation technology?

CTO_Psion:
TO:  Thank you Mr. Hawkes, as you were.

TO-Hawkes:
::Scans for life signs... pods::

CO_Grant:
OPS: That is interesting, the Andromeda you say

EO_Mac:
::enter ME and heads to secure the warp core:

MO_Lea:
::sees some ribbon on one of the scaners, tosses it aside, and begins another test on the samples::

Es`Shere:
:;looks over to OPS:: andromeda...   ::brings up her records on her console::

CO_Grant:
XO: stolen or modified in some way

CTO_Psion:
CSO:  Any possibility of ascertaining the age of the signatures?

OPS_Lynam:
CO: Aye sir.  I scanned a blue painted hatch cover a second ago.  I saw a similar one on the Andromeda when they passed us.

CO_Grant:
CSO: compare our previous scan of the Andromeda to this one, look for any obviious lack of mass like a missing cargo

CSOPoulos:
CTO: they can't be more than 48 hours old.....

Es`Shere:
CSO: I see this is very recent. only a few days at most

EO_Mac:
:: warp is secured, now secureing all power relays:: *CEO*: warp and power relays all secured

OPS_Lynam:
CSO: Their may be a warp signature we could follow.

Es`Shere:
::looks at him as they both speak at the same time::

CO_Grant:
TAC,CSO: any Lifepods?

CSOPoulos:
OPS:  I think I can isolate one... one moment  ::works hard at the pannel::

TO-Hawkes:
CO: No lifepods sir

Es`Shere:
::shakes her head no at CSO with a sad face::

CEOLefler:
*EO* Well done Mr MacPherson. Stay there and get the repair crews ready.

CTO_Psion:
TO:  Would these scans be consistent with a duel of sorts?  ::Asking in a mentorish way::

CO_Grant:
TAC: acknowledged

CSOPoulos:
CO: none sir

EO_Mac:
*CEO* aye :: readys all repair crews::

MO_Lea:
::glad the scanner is funtioning properly again, she finishes the test and moves the samples back to the vial tray, and makes a few alterations::

OPS_Lynam:
:;Continues to scan for comm signals::

CSOPoulos:
OPS: here it is............. I'll transfer cooridinates to the FCO

CO_Grant:
TAC,CSO: can you trace the direction of the departing attacker?

TO-Hawkes:
CTO: I dont' know sir

CEOLefler:
*EO* I also want you to patch into the sensors and see what you can make of that wreckage

XO_Wall:
::gets up and heads over to OPS, watches::

Es`Shere:
::can feel a great sadness overcome her.. cries in the night::  CSO: have we scanned all of it? none.. no lives still at all?

EO_Mac:
*CEO*: we're all ready when needed

CSOPoulos:
CO: I have sent their course to the FCO

OPS_Lynam:
XO: How ya feeling Commander?

XO_Wall:
<FCOHunter> ::receives coordinates from CSO::

CSOPoulos:
Shere: I scaned it all.......

CO_Grant:
::officially notes on command chair padd the destruction of the Andromeda ::

CEOLefler:
::Gets concerned as Pax's ship appears to be floating in pieces before him::

XO_Wall:
OPS: much better than I did

Es`Shere:
::shakes her head at him .. and continues working..  grim looks on their faces::

CO_Grant:
OPS: send a message to Starfleet command, we have found evidence of a destroyed Merchant ship the Andromeda and are investigating

TO-Hawkes:
CO: We have a path to follow :: Give co-ords::

OPS_Lynam:
CO: Aye sir.  :;Prepares message::

CO_Grant:
DUTYFCO: set a course to intercept the attacker

EO_Mac:
*CEO*: whats the yellow alert for? and the Europa is 50% finished when I left the shuttlebay

XO_Wall:
<FCOHunter> ::engages warp after the warp trail::

OPS_Lynam:
:;Sends message to Starfleet::

CTO_Psion:
::Scans weapons signatures and sets computer to do a cross reference with known energy signatures::

CO_Grant:
FCOHunter: Engage warp 6

TO-Hawkes:
::Watches CTO... and learns::

XO_Wall:
CO: aye ::engages warp 6::

CO_Grant:
CSO: how about that comparative mass report on the Andromeda ?

CTO_Psion:
TO:  Status of weapons and shields?

XO_Wall:
::returns to his seat::

CSOPoulos:
CO: its very close......  It's a good chance that it is the andromeda......

EO_Mac:
::going over details with the repair crews::

Es`Shere:
::says a silent prayer as they leave the area for those lost::

CSOPoulos:
CO: but there are parts missing.....

TO-Hawkes:
CTO: !00% sir

XO_Wall:
CO: looks like there is a bigger fish in this scenerio ::grins::

CTO_Psion:
TO:  Acknowledged.

Es`Shere:
CSO: Parts as in... ::sinks in:: OH

CO_Grant:
CSO: acknowledged, perhaps their attacker took something or the Andromeda attempted to dump something

CO_Grant:
CSO: If dumped something that something might show up in sensors

CTO_Psion:
TO:  Attempt to ascetain the nature of the Andromeda's cargo, while I scan for any hostiles.

TO-Hawkes:
CTO: Aye chief. ::Scans debris::

MO_Lea:
::sets her new concoction and prior attempt onto the diagnostic table:: Computer: display Cronomic sequence of sample one and compare to that of sample two.

CTO_Psion:
::Scans sector for any vessels::

EO_Mac:
::keeping a close eye on all systems::

XO_Wall:
CTO: what about Denil III? scan that also

CTO_Psion:
XO:  Aye sir.

MO_Lea:
::studies display, idley wondering how Dr. Laiiron's work is progressing::

CTO_Psion:
::Scans moon for energy signature and life signs::

Es`Shere:
::wonders what the ship had that it was missing at time of exsplosions.. starts scanning surroinding areas::

EO_Mac:
::wondering what the yellow alert is all about::

XO_Wall:
CTO: anything?

CTO_Psion:
XO:  So far scans turn up negative sir.

MO_Lea:
Computer: Isolate and diplay grid three A  from sample one and grid eight D from sample two.

CTO_Psion:
TO:  Feel free to correct me if you feel I am missing anything Mr. Hawkes.

CO_Grant:
DUTYFCO: Time to catch up with attacker?

XO_Wall:
CTO: what about something that wasnt there the first time?

TO-Hawkes:
::Looks at CTO like 'yeah right'....Nods at CTO::

CTO_Psion:
::Scans the moon again...this time more intensely::

XO_Wall:
<FCOHunter> CO: 8.3 minutes according to my data

EO_Mac:
::turning attention to the warp drive:::

Es`Shere:
::mimics the crews moon scans.. her mind is getting cluttered::

TO-Hawkes:
::Scans for long range teletport::

Nicke_AGM:
ACTION: the Delphyne begins following the trail of the alleged attackers

TO-Hawkes:
OPS: Are we still receiving that phony distress call?

CTO_Psion:
XO:  Now scanning the trail signature of the offensive ship.

EO_Mac:
::sensing that something isn't right about the current situation:: *CEO* is there anything to worry about?

OPS_Lynam:
TO: Negative.

MO_Lea:
Computer: show original display again ::sighs::

LtJg_Cray:
::Overlooks data being collected::

XO_Wall:
CTO: acknowledged

TO-Hawkes:
::Raises eyebrows... hmmm... scans for the wreckage where the AT was, and cross checks scans with previous data::

XO_Wall:
CO: looks like we have a true mystery on our hands

Es`Shere:
::scratches her forehead looking down at her console::

CTO_Psion:
::Thinks...what type of race would attacke the Andromeda?::

CO_Grant:
XO: Lets see if we can learn anything from the attacker

OPS_Lynam:
CO: You know sir, I wish we had positively identified that signal on the moon.

CEOLefler:
*EO* Quite frankly I don't know what the heck is going on. I'm just waiting to see if I have to either build, fix, or take anything apart.

TO-Hawkes:
All: Everything still appears to be where we left it down there. ::Sigh::

CTO_Psion:
XO:  Do we know what type of cargo the Andromeda was carrying?

Nicke_AGM:
ACTION: sensors pick up the trail and continue following it....

CO_Grant:
OPS: Sure , I 'll send you down there armed only with a sword. Keep an eye out for sneaky comm traffic

XO_Wall:
<FCOHunter> CO: the trail continues on?

CTO_Psion:
CSO:  Where does that trail lead?

Es`Shere:
CSO: I have something.. directs info to his console quickly::

OPS_Lynam:
::Bites tongue and continues to scan for "sneaky" comm traffic::

Nicke_AGM:
ACTION: trail leads to a large asteroid field

CSOPoulos:
::looks at the info::

CSOPoulos:
CTO: it's leading into a large asteroid field......

CO_Grant:
:: observes an asteroid field coming into view::

XO_Wall:
<FCOHunter>: CO: approaching a asteriod field ahead

CTO_Psion:
TO:  Mr. Hawkes, what would a rogue warp signature leading to an asteroid field indicate?

TO-Hawkes:
::Tactical scan of asteroid field for large poly-metal objects::

CO_Grant:
fcohunter: I want to stop just outside of that asteroid field, drop us to impulse

TO-Hawkes:
TO: Ambush, or they're hiding.

CTO_Psion:
::Scans for subspace disturbances::

XO_Wall:
<FCOHunter>: yes sir ::drops to impulse::

CTO_Psion:
TO:  Exactly!

EO_Mac:
*CEO*: well you have myself and the repair crews at yur disposal, and I need to run smething by you when we get the chance

CO_Grant:
CTO: Launch a probe into the asteroid belt , maybe flush out our attacker then

CO_Grant:
FCOHunter: full stop

XO_Wall:
::gets up and stands behind Lt. Hunter, looking at the screen and the panel::

CTO_Psion:
CO:  Aye sir.  ::Programs and readies probe.::

CTO_Psion:
::Launches probe::

TO-Hawkes:
CTO: Scans don't show anything in there... yet.

TO-Hawkes:
::Keeps scanning::

CTO_Psion:
CO:  Recieving telemetry now sir.

XO_Wall:
<FCOHunter>: ::engages full stop:: CO: all stop sir

CO_Grant:
CSO: scan for neutrinos incase of cloaked ship

Nicke_AGM:
ACTION: the probe is launched and begins moving into the field::

CO_Grant:
fcohunter: acknowledged

CSOPoulos:
CO:aye

Es`Shere:
::goose bumps start on her arms:: CSO: It is there... I think I can feel it.

CSOPoulos:
Shere: what is there?

Nicke_AGM:
ACTION: the crew waits while the probe begins sending back information....then goes dead

OPS_Lynam:
CTO: the other option is that they simply passed through the field and out the other side.

OPS_Lynam:
:;Sees probe telemetry stop::  All: Or not.

Es`Shere:
:loses it:: CSO: I do not know.  ::shakes her head:

TO-Hawkes:
CSO: Anything unusual in the probe's last moments?

CO_Grant:
CTO: what progress is the probe making?

CTO_Psion:
CO/XO:  Probe has stopped sending telemetry.  It is currently non-functional.

Es`Shere:
::bows he head over the console tweaking the readings::

TO-Hawkes:
CTO: Sounds fishy to me.

Nicke_AGM:
ACTION: the probe suddenly shoots out of the asteroid field 

CSOPoulos:
TO: no

XO_Wall:
CO: ::turns back to face him:: perhaps we should go to red alert they could be hiding and suddenly surprise us?

CTO_Psion:
TO:  Your metaphor would be applicable to our situation.

OPS_Lynam:
:;Switches power to forward shields::

XO_Wall:
Self: what the?

CEOLefler:
XO: I say we go find out. I don't know about you but I think it has been too long since we got a good ambush. What has it been 2....3 weeks?

CTO_Psion:
::Scans the probe::

TO-Hawkes:
::Shields ups!::

Es`Shere:
::console beeps:: CSO It has disengaged. and is leaving the asteroid field

OPS_Lynam:
CTO: Tractor beam!

CTO_Psion:
OPS:  Acknowledged.  ::Engages tractor beam.

CO_Grant:
ALL:  odd , the probe returns as if regurgitated

Nicke_AGM:
ACTION: sensors show heavy damage to the probe

XO_Wall:
CEO: well's there only one problem that asteroid field

CO_Grant:
CSO: any damage to probe?

OPS_Lynam:
CO: I don't like that train of thought sir.

TO-Hawkes:
::Scans damage to probe for weaps traces::

CO_Grant:
OPS: I understand you don't want to meet something still hungary after devouring the Andromeda

CSOPoulos:
CO: i read heavy damage....

CEOLefler:
XO: We can solve that

CTO_Psion:
CO:  Shall I lower shields and tractor the probe back sir?

TO-Hawkes:
ALL: Prob-damage appears to be not to have been caused by weapons.

MO_Lea:
::isolates two more grids and compares::

Es`Shere:
::gets no new information other than that already being spoken by CSO::

CO_Grant:
CTO: just lower the shields long enough to bring the probe home

CTO_Psion:
::Scans asteroid field::
