Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
::enters Engineering and walks over to CEO::
CEO_LtJG_Heller says:
::in main engineering checking the final reports coming in from all his teams::
CTO-Exeter says:
@:;Interviewing a Andorian::
CEO_LtJG_Heller says:
::sees the CO enter engineering::  CO:  Anything I can do for you captain?
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::leaves her office and makes her way to the bridge::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CEO: came down to help out if you need it
CEO_LtJG_Heller says:
CO:  All repairs have been completed the installation of the generator was the final repair.
Host Shor says:
@CTO: So you boss had to leave hey? Didn't like him anyway, he had something of a Vulcan. Hate Vulcans
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::pauses for a moment, mulling over a strange feeling::
CTO-Exeter says:
@Shor: So I'm wondering? ever worked for the arkonians???
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::arrives at the bridge, glances around and then walks out again::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CEO: very good Mr. Heller
Host Shor says:
@CTO: You must be joking! I would never work for them. I wish they had all died in their civil war. But no, the Federation had to go help them
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
Computer: Locate Captain Wall please.
CEO_LtJG_Heller says:
::checks over the last of the reports::  CO:  All systems report being at peak efficiency.  We are once again space worthy.
CTO-Exeter says:
@Shor: So you don't know any arkonians?
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::waits for the response before heading to main engineering::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CEO: you may take a few hours break if you want two, I know you and your team have been working nonstop. If not you can begin to assist on the Investigation of the Arix Colony too.
CEO_LtJG_Heller says:
CO:  Yes sir.
Host Shor says:
@CTO: Unfortunately I do. During the past decade they have been trading with us. I worked as a farmer them. But because they sent their food so easily to us I had to sell the farm and go work on that cursed geothermal plant
CEO_LtJG_Heller says:
CO:  Where can I be of the most help with the investigation?
CTO-Exeter says:
@::nods and then notes a few things:: Shor: Okay, that ends it for me. I'll gfet back to you, and thank you for your co-operation.
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::standing in the TL:: *CO*: I am on my way to engineering and need to speak with you sir.
Host Shor says:
@CTO: You are welcome. And ... kill a few Arkonnians for me will ya? When you find they are guilty
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CEO: see if you can gather data from the Arix Colony on the colony spes, there logs, maintaince logs, all activies surrounding the Colony, perhaps they overlooked an Engineering mistake that cause the explosion
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
*CNS*: acknowledged
CEO_LtJG_Heller says:
CO:  Aye sir.  ::enters his office and begins to have all logs and specs downloaded to his station.::
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::walks briskly into engineering::
CTO-Exeter says:
@::looks at Shor:: Shor: I don't kill people, I do my job, sir. ::walks away from the Andorian, and trying to find a certain vulcan::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CNS: ::watches her enter:: what is it Counsler?
Host Shor says:
@::sits back:: Self: A Chief Tactical Officer that doesn't kill! He must be new to the job
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::heads straight to the CO: CO: There is something which i have been feeling and it is getting a bit clearer now, I can sense a presence, I don't think it is a threat to us but I can't be sure of what it is. ::has a rather sad look on her face:: Self: Now that will never make sense, how can i go about explaining it.
CTO-Exeter says:
@::shakes his head:: self I should have thrown him in the brig for discrimination.
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CNS: can you determine where it is coming from?
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::sighs:: CO: I can tell you it is not to close but can't say exactly where it is. 
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
CO: I do know it is bored and helpless, the helpless bit worries me though i have no idea why it may be feeling this way or what it is ::pauses then adds:: but it is powerful.
CEO_LtJG_Heller says:
::looks over the logs::  *CO*:  According to the logs all systems were reporting normal up until the last hour or so before the explosion,  at that point there was a massive build up of energy, this caused the overheating of the cooling system.  Which caused the explosion.
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::tries to keep her balance and almost falls, raises her hand to her head::
CEO_LtJG_Heller says:
*CO:*  Seems to me that that is plenty of time to realize a problem and begin working on a solution.
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CNS: ::grabs her to prevent her from falling:: you alright?
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::looks totally confused and then nods to the CO, straightening herself up again:: CO: Yes now i am sir. Its gone but ::pauses::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
*CEO*: very good see if you can find out why they didnt responded, whats was there crews doing during that hour?
CTO-Exeter says:
*CO*: Sir, Exeter here.
CEO_LtJG_Heller says:
*CO*:  Will do.
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
*CTO*: go ahead
CTO-Exeter says:
*CO*: You told me to talk to a certain Vulcan,sir?
CEO_LtJG_Heller says:
::begins searching for the wearabouts of the engineers during the hour before the explosion::
EO_Tpucnamushi says:
#COM: Computer. Run a sensor sweep, long and wide-range, of the area and locate the CSO
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
*CTO*: yes I did?
CTO-Exeter says:
@*CO*: Just need to know his/her name and what he/she looks like
EO_Tpucnamushi says:
#<COM>: No lifesigns are in the area
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
*CTO*: I believe his name was Dr. Tliak
EO_Tpucnamushi says:
#COM: Computer, just how far out did you scan?
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::waits for the CO to finish talking:: CO: It appeared then said "Arix" and left
EO_Tpucnamushi says:
#<COM>: 5000 meters
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CNS: very interesting...you sure your ok?
EO_Tpucnamushi says:
#::snaps up to an upright sitting position, goes to the Communications console::
CTO-Exeter says:
@*CO*: Thank you, sir, He'll probably still be here.
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::nods:: *CO* A little shaken and confused but everything has gone now.
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
COM: COOK: Tpuc, the Counsler has been sensing a presence, she says it is coming from far away, she said she felt it say "Arix", I want you to factor that into the search there, this may help you and the CSO considerable
Host SM_Lilia says:
#ACTION: The message doesn't get through to the planet's surface due to the radiation interference
CTO-Exeter says:
@::Checks up at a Console to find that Dr. Tliak is at Docking platform D waiting transport::*SBSec*: Could you please tell Dr. Tliak  that I want to speak to him for a few seconds. He's at Docking platform D
EO_Tpucnamushi says:
#COM: USS Elara: Tpuc to Captain Wall. The CSO went out to check on a "humanoid" lifeform about a half hour ago, and I haven't heard from him. He is also no longer appearing on sensors. Can you pick him up on your sensors?
Host SM_Lilia says:
@<SB Security>*CTO* Aye aye sir but I must warn you we have no jurisdiction over civilians unless they are breaking starbase regulations
Host SM_Lilia says:
#ACTION: The EO's message doesn't get out of the planet's atmosphere
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
*CTO*: Counsellor has been sensing a presence, ask the Vulcan about that, see if he knows something?
CEO_LtJG_Heller says:
::leans back in his chair rubbin his eyes,  been a long time since last he slept::
EO_Tpucnamushi says:
#::does a sensor sweep of the atmosphere to see why the message didn't go through::
CTO-Exeter says:
@*SBSec*: Your not gonna tell me you guys don't have the initiative to trump up some charges.  I just want to speak to the Doctor, if he doesn't want to then Just say he's holding up a official Starfleet Investigation. Any Complaints just tell him to see STarfleet Securioty for that, exeter out.
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
CO: The presence seems to have gone for now, perhaps i could go to the starbase and assist the CTO?
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CNS: yes good idea, thank you Lt.
Host Dr_Tliak says:
@<SB security>*CTO* We have talked to him... and we don't "trump up charges"
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::nods, then turns and leaves:: 
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
::he leaves Eng as well in to the corridor::
CTO-Exeter says:
@*CO*: I'll ask the good doctor,sir. By the way have you seen the XO,sir?
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
*CTO*: I'll be joining you in a few minutes whereabouts on the starbase are you?
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::heads down the corridor on her way back to the starbase::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
*CEO*: when your shift is over, your are to be off duty to get rest, you look very tired.
CTO-Exeter says:
@*SB Security*: Thanks, and I think You need some extra Training in how to keep a Civilian on a Starbase.
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
*CTO*: he is attending to personal business on the Starbase
Host Dr_Tliak says:
@::enters the starbase lounge and looks around::
CEO_LtJG_Heller says:
*CO*:  Aye sir.  As soon as this is all worked out I'll do that.
CTO-Exeter says:
@*CO*: Aye,sir ::then looks around Self: drinking himself Silly I guess. *CNS*: I'm in one of the Starbases Messhall.
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
*CTO*: anything that you wanted him for, you can report to me?
EO_Tpucnamushi says:
#::taps commbadge:: EO to CSO
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::now on the starbase, she locates the messhall and heads in that direction::
CEO_LtJG_Heller says:
::stares at his monitor and cycles through log after log::
CTO-Exeter says:
*CO*: Well, it helps if I have a Telepath with me just in case, Commander was quite usefull with teh Andorian,sir.
Host Dr_Tliak says:
#ACTION: No response to the EO
Host Dr_Tliak says:
@::approaches the CTO:: CTO: were you the one who wished to speak to me?
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
*CTO*: should be on her way to join you
EO_Tpucnamushi says:
#::fires up the shuttle for some low level flying::
CTO-Exeter says:
@::turns to see the Vulcan and raises a eyebrow:Tliak: If your Doctor Tliak I am,sir
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
*CEO*: we seem to be having communications problem again with the Cook, see if you can correst it
Host Dr_Tliak says:
@CTO: I have a transport in 15 minutes for Vulcan. Please be brief
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
@ ::quickly walks through the doors of the mess hall and glances around, setting eyes on the CTO, then give a small smile:: CTO: Sorry I appear to be a little late.
CEO_LtJG_Heller says:
::checks over the readings from the colony to see what would be causing the communication block::
CTO-Exeter says:
@Tliak: You'll make it, doctor,don't worry :: He mutters in  the Vulcan language as he takes a seat::
EO_Tpucnamushi says:
#::heads off in the direction that the CSO took, going at the shuttle's slowest possible speed, yet enough to stay airborne:: COM: Computer: Continuous sensor sweeps of the area. I've got to find the CSO
Host Dr_Tliak says:
@::looks at the CNS, expressionless then back at the CTO seemingly ignoring his muttering. Takesa a seat::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
::enters a TL to go back up to the bridge:: TL: bridge
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
@ ::looks over to the Vulcan as he mutters something to quietly for her to hear, takes a seat::
CEO_LtJG_Heller says:
*CO:*  Their is something at the colony that is blocking the transmissions.  Working on a solution to try to punch through.  Though without a detailed scan of the area I won't know for sure what is causing it.
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
*CEO*: acknowledged do what you can...
CTO-Exeter says:
@CNS: It's okay, take a seat, Lieutenant. ::then looks at the Vulcan:: Tliak: Doctor; We have some people saying that the Accident on the Colony was because of a Arkonian action. I decided to ivestigate this whole matter, and seeing your  a Leading  scientist of the colonyt I want your opinion about it.
EO_Tpucnamushi says:
#::spots what appear to be ruins of an abandoned camp and heads the shuttle for it::
Host Dr_Tliak says:
@CTO/CNS: The explosion was caused by an natural accident. It was caused by instability in the planet's mantle. The reasons for that are unknown at this point. But it could not have been artificially caused
EO_Tpucnamushi says:
#::arrives at abandoned camp:: COM: Computer, I want an in-depth analysis of this camp
CTO-Exeter says:
@Tliak: And how do you know that for certain, and I don't need to be dictated in logic,doctor.
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
::TL stops...he then enters back on to the bridge::
Host Dr_Tliak says:
@CTO: If anyone had the ability to temper with a planets mantle in thatw ay, we would have known
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
@ Tliak: How would you have known?
CTO-Exeter says:
@Tliak: I know a few things who can  do that, every heard of the Q continuum,doctor?
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
::he looks around the bridge with only limited number of officers there working, he takes a seat in his chair on the bridge::
CEO_LtJG_Heller says:
*CO*:  Perhaps if we were to launch a few probes and use them to amplify our signal we could get through to the shuttle.
Host Dr_Tliak says:
@CNS: Something like that needed time and equipment, which we would have detected long ago. CTO: I have heard of the Q though they are enigmatic at best. In any case, just because something appears to be unexplainable, we don't go out blaming all powerfull species
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
*CEO*: good thinking Mr. Heller, prepare the probes and launch when ready
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
@::takes a deep breath:: Self: powerful species
EO_Tpucnamushi says: 
 #<COM>: There are no life signs. The camp has Starfleet issue material and it seems to be recently abandoned. There are also markings of a science station "mendel".
CTO-Exeter says:
@CTO: I know, but that doesn't mean we rule them out at a Instance,doctor. AlsoI believe the CNS here  picked up a Entity and she wondered if you sensed it too,doctor?
Host Dr_Tliak says:
#ACTION: The EO's message still doen't get through as he is too low in the atmosphere
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
@ ::nods and waits for his response::
Host Dr_Tliak says:
@CTO: I can not tell you much more than what I have. From all available data, I can only scientifically say with a probability of 90% that it was an accident. "powerfull entities" are not scietifical. ...With all due respect Counselor
CTO-Exeter says:
@::Glances quickly at the CNS hoping she is reading his thoughts:: <Thinks>: Lieutenant I want you to get his reaction of my last question.
CEO_LtJG_Heller says:
::launches probes::  *CO:*  Probes launched but without knowing the full cause of the interference it may not do us any good.
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
@:: shakes her head slightly:: Tliak: I take it from your remark you sensed nothing, How could we prove your theory that this is a natural occurrence.
CTO-Exeter says:
@::nods at tliak::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
*CEO*: acknowledged, it is worth the try
Host Dr_Tliak says:
@CNS: By finding the causes of the accident, which is what I am going to do. Now I need to go to my transport before it leaves
Host Dr_Tliak says:
@::nods to the CTO then the CNS:: CTO: Ensign CNS: lieutenant ::gets up and heads out::
EO_Tpucnamushi says:
#Self: If he's around here, he be at the mendel.
CTO-Exeter says:
Tliak: then your going the wrong way, doctor, Vulcan isn't the place where you'll find your awnser, Doctor
EO_Tpucnamushi says:
#::sets the shuttle down::
Host Dr_Tliak says:
@::turns back one last time before leaving for good:: CTO: I will return to the colony  for information ... when the time is right
EO_Tpucnamushi says:
#::sets the controls to auto:: COM: Computer, keep a lock on me at all times. If I should run into trouble, beam me back here.
