=/\= U.S.S. Elara Stardate 10406.20 - "Travelling minds, part VI" =/\=

The USS Elara remains at impulse, side by side with the comet.

The Shuttle Renegade just left the comet and is no adrift, no life signs inside.

In the “grassland” the Away Team remains trying to find a way to leave

CMO Ens Ordo says:
CNS: Sir shall I place a tractor on the shuttle?

ACTION: Captain Wall is called to an emergency call with Admiral Ix

CNS Ens Juuls says:
::looks towards the viewscreen in thought for a moment::

TO Ens Shin says:
:: on my way to my quarters to shower::

@ACTION: Timrok approaches the circuitry once again. This time he damages one of the lights. It goes off and he is sent back unconscious

CNS Ens Juuls says:
::looks across the bridge towards the CMO:: CMO: I am still not picking up any life signs and to make things worse I can't even sense them.

CTO LtCmdr Mesme says:
@::stood on the grassy plains wishing he had an engineering team with his, watching Timrok fall backwards and goes to check that he is still alive::

CMO Ens Ordo says:
*USS Elara*: To all crew this is the bridge, under Starfleet directive I am taking command until further notice. CMO out.

CMO Ens Ordo says:
CNS: Ideas?

@ACTION: Another cube disappears

@ACTION: And along with it so does another part of the "grass"

TO Ens Shin says:
:: heads toward nearest turbolift after shower::

CTO LtCmdr Mesme says:
@::watches as the scenery changes slightly, moves over to the part of the grass that has vanished and looks what is below it, content that the XO is not in a critical condition::

CMO Ens Ordo says:
*TO*: Ensign please report to the bridge at the double.

TO Ens Shin says:
:: enters turbolift:: Out loud: Bridge

CNS Ens Juuls says:
::nods to the CMO:: CMO: Yes firstly you do not need to take control of the bridge, its fine as it is until the CO returns. Secondly, we need to find a way of contacting the away team and perhaps the shuttle with have some valuable data it would be wise to get it back here.

TO Ens Shin says:
CMO: Aye sir.

CMO Ens Ordo says:
CNS: Thanks.

TO Ens Shin says:
:: exits turbolift and walks to Tactical::

CMO Ens Ordo says:
CNS: Let's get that shuttle tractored back into the shuttle bay

SO Goodelia says:
@::looks at the XO then at the CTO:: CTO: What now Commander?

OPS Solie says:
CNS: We are in tractor range of the shuttle

CNS Ens Juuls says:
::nods to him with a smile:: CMO: Indeed I am interested to see what it brings back.

CNS Ens Juuls says:
OPS: Bring it into the main shuttle bay if you can please?

OPS Solie says:
CNS: In transporter range as well

OPS Solie says:
::nods::

TO Ens Shin says:
::scans console to get up to speed::

CMO Ens Ordo says:
TO: As soon as you get that shuttle into the hangar I want you to take a science and tactical team down there and run a level 1 diagnostic ok?

CTO LtCmdr Mesme says:
@::turns to look at the SO:: SO: I don’t know. This sort of situation isn’t in the training courses we go on you know.

TO Ens Shin says:
CMO: Aye sir

ACTION: Gently the shuttle Renegade is brought to the main shuttle bay

CNS Ens Juuls says:
TO: and when you get there, could you please have one of the engineers transfer all the information the away team has gathered.

TO Ens Shin says:
:: signals science and tactical to shuttle bay::

SO Goodelia says:
@::nods and turns to the FCO::FCO: Do you have any more brilliant ideas?

TO Ens Shin says:
CNS: Aye

OPS Solie says:
CNS: The shuttle is safely aboard

TO Ens Shin says:
:: leaves bridge in route to the shuttle bay::

FCO Diego says:
@SO: Not at the moment. But I will be sure to pull one in the nick of time.

CMO Ens Ordo says:
OPS: Can you scan the comet again. I want to know its composition. Something doesn't sit right with me.

TO Ens Shin says:
:: exits turbolift and heads to shuttlebay::

OPS Solie says:
::nods to the CMO::

CMO Ens Ordo says:
::whispers:: CNS: How am I doing?

FCO Diego says:
@ALL: I imagine us trying to find the point of entry.

TO Ens Shin says:
:: enters shuttlebay:: Out loud: All right folks let’s see if we can figure out what happened to the away team.

CTO LtCmdr Mesme says:
@FCO/SO: What about if we try and totally disrupt the circuitry? That should cause this "place" to cease to exist shouldn’t it?

CO Capt Wall says:
::on the bridge by science stations::

CNS Ens Juuls says:
::smiles to him:: CMO: Just great, ideas are needed from anyone at this time. ::looks a little impatient waiting for the shuttles data::

FCO Diego says:
@CTO: Worth a shot but I would want a plan B in case this plan goes to hell literally.

CNS Ens Juuls says:
::turns and watches the CO who she had not noticed enter the bridge, her attention split primarily between the CMO and the sensor readings::

CMO Ens Ordo says:
All: Captain on the bridge. The bridge is yours again Sir.

SO Goodelia says:
@CTO: Then ... where would we be?

CNS Ens Juuls says:
CO: the shuttle is back in the shuttlebay and we cannot get any contact with the away team ::adding slowly:: Still no life signs, sir

CMO Ens Ordo says:
::gets out of captain's chair, slightly reluctantly::

CTO LtCmdr Mesme says:
@SO: That is a good question, perhaps we would be back where we started, or perhaps we would disappear with this place ::tail swishes:: is only we knew that this place was.

FCO Diego says:
@CTO: Let’s do it.

TO Ens Shin says:
*CNS*: Uploading the shuttles databanks now.

CNS Ens Juuls says:
::starts looking through a list of ship supplies::

CNS Ens Juuls says:
*TO*: Thank you. I look forward to seeing the data.

SO Goodelia says:
@CTO/FCO: I'll have to trust Starfleet's judgement on that

CMO Ens Ordo says:
CO: Sir we cannot beam anything out to the comet, but could we launch a probe to try and get a detailed sample of the comet?

TO Ens Shin says:
*CO*: Sir, we found the away teams clothing but no other signs. We'll continue to look.

CTO LtCmdr Mesme says:
@SO: What would the Arkonnian Empire do in this situation then? ::leans down to take a closer look at the circuits::

CNS Ens Juuls says:
::turns to an SO in the corner:: SO: We need a probe I want to test something, can you get one to the surface of the planet and see if we can get it off the surface again? Meanwhile another, which could work on detecting life signs down there, would be useful, please.

CO Capt Wall says:
CMO: Yes, launch a probe we don't have anything to lose

CMO Ens Ordo says:
*TO*: Have the clothing sent to sickbay I will be there shortly to examine it.

SO Goodelia says:
@::ponders for a moment:: CTO: We would wait for the Gods to provide us the answer

TO Ens Shin says:
*CMO*: Aye

CNS Ens Juuls says:
CO: A suggestion may we have two probes, We can test this field at the same time as looking for the away team, as we may need to be able to get through it to get them back?

CMO Ens Ordo says:
CO: Aye sir. ::launches class 4 probe::

FCO Diego says:
@SO: Well the gods are slow right now for my tastes so we are gonna jump the gun.

CO Capt Wall says:
CNS: Yes, launch whatever you need to

ACTION: A probe leaves the Elara on its way to the comet

TO Ens Shin says:
::sends the away teams clothes to sickbay::

CMO Ens Ordo says:
CO: Sir I am needed in sickbay to study the clothing. If you will excuse me.

CMO Ens Ordo says:
::heads to TL:: TL: Deck 12, Sickbay.

CO Capt Wall says:
CMO: understood, let me as soon as you find something

CNS Ens Juuls says:
::sends a second probe from the ship to the comet its objective to find life signs and return if possible::

CTO LtCmdr Mesme says:
@SO/FCO: Unfortunately I don’t believe in divine intervention, although perhaps...

CNS Ens Juuls says:
::turns to watch the CMO leave and then monitors the magnetic field again::

ACTION: The second probe leaves as well

CMO Ens Ordo says:
::enters Sickbay::

CTO LtCmdr Mesme says:
@SO/FCO: This database holds information on everyone that lived yes, if these cubes at this end are holding information about us, those that have just lived, if we go the other way perhaps the cubes will have information on the creators of this database and how to shut it down...

TO Ens Shin says:
:: continues to investigate the shuttle::

SO Goodelia says:
@CTO: What do you mean "other way"?

CNS Ens Juuls says:
::finds a negative answer from the probe and then turns to the data from the shuttle after she tries to bring the probe back::

FCO Diego says:
@CTO: Whatever you do is fine by me as long as you don't get us killed. If you do, I will never talk to you again. ::Grins::

CTO LtCmdr Mesme says:
@SO: Find the cube with the most number of buttons, or the one that looks like it was first...

CNS Ens Juuls says:
::notes the probes reluctance to leave again the magnetic field is in the way as she then tries to make it dig through the surface of the comet::

SO Goodelia says:
@::looks around the hundreds of cubes and blinks::

CMO Ens Ordo says:
Nurse O'Connell: Ok I want a level 3 scan on each of the uniforms. I want tissue analysis, DNA profiles and any other biomedical findings that may turn up, and I want them yesterday!

CTO LtCmdr Mesme says:
@FCO: I wouldn’t talk to myself either ::smiles and looks around:: World in general: What’s your secret?

FCO Diego says:
@All: I am tired of waiting.::takes out his phaser and shoots the circuits::

@ACTION: The lights in the damaged circuits blink once

@ACTION: The lights in the damaged circuits blink twice

CO Capt Wall says:
TO: anything that the shuttle reveals what about the logs, sensor data, etc.

@ACTION: The lights go out all over, blackness surrounds the away team

FCO Diego says:
@CTO: That did it.

CTO LtCmdr Mesme says:
@FCO: If we survive this, remind me to take that phaser off of you.

CO Capt Wall says:
CMO/CNS: anything on probe data?

CNS Ens Juuls says:
::looks confused:: CO: This is odd, I had the probe bury through the rock on the surface of the comet and now it appears as if the comet is both there and not there?

@ACTION: Slowly they begin to see stars all around them

FCO Diego says:
@CTO: Call it instinct.

@ACTION: Like they were in a glass sphere only there isn't any apparent glass

CMO Ens Ordo says:
*CO*: Here are the results from the uniforms sir. Chronotron readings suggest these are the uniforms of our people, and they were inside them up until about 4 hours ago.

FCO Diego says:
@CTO: Now we know where our prison is.

CO Capt Wall says:
*CMO*: but that doesn’t give whether they are ok or not

CO Capt Wall says:
*CMO*: especially the last 4 hours...

CMO Ens Ordo says:
*CO*: I'm also getting the results back from the comet. The magnetic field increased where the probe landed. The composition seems to be normal for this type of comet, mainly ice and some rock. The readings are now fluctuating though, sir

CNS Ens Juuls says:
::looks to the viewscreen as if to check the comet is still there even, says nervously:: CO: Er....Sir, is that good or bad?

TO Ens Shin says:
*CO*: Should I remain in the shuttlebay sir or return to the bridge?

ACTION; The viewscreen reveals a force field sphere with 4 small dots inside

CTO LtCmdr Mesme says:
@FCO: But does that help us get out of it?

CNS Ens Juuls says:
::is staring at the viewscreen::

CMO Ens Ordo says:
*CO*: Probe is reading the comet is not there sir...

CO Capt Wall says:
*TO*: remain in the shuttlebay continue going over that shuttle for anything that might help us get back our away team

CNS Ens Juuls says:
CO: Sir that does not happen to normal comets.

FCO Diego says:
@CTO: It will. I bet you all my pay.

TO Ens Shin says:
*CO*: Aye sir.

CNS Ens Juuls says:
::scans for life signs again and tries to get a lock on the 'dots' inside::

CO Capt Wall says:
CNS: no it doesn’t happen normally

CMO Ens Ordo says:
::takes turbolift back up to bridge::

CNS Ens Juuls says:
::nods still looking at her scans, with a worried expression::

SM Lilia says:
@ACTION: The Away team soon realize they are naked

CO Capt Wall says:
*TO*: look over the sensor data, logs whatever it might provide something we didn’t get from up here

TO Ens Shin says:
Out loud: Ok let’s run a level 2 diagnostic and see what we find

FCO Diego says:
@::realizes he is naked but does not cover up::

CTO LtCmdr Mesme says:
@::looks himself up and down and refrains from making eye contact with the FCO:: FCO: It appears we are missing something ::twitches his tail::

FCO Diego says:
@CTO: Tell me something I don't know.

CMO Ens Ordo says:
::Looks at viewscreen::CNS: I didn't want to believe it, but it's true isn't it? The comet is a giant bubble.

CNS Ens Juuls says:
CMO: It would appear so and that Magnetic field is all that is keeping our team safe.

CMO Ens Ordo says:
Computer: Computer, maximum magnification.

CNS Ens Juuls says:
CO: May I try to beam the away team out?

CTO LtCmdr Mesme says:
@FCO: If we get back to the ship like this they are never going to let us live it down.

CNS Ens Juuls says:
::is still running tests to see if this is likely to bring the team back alive::

FCO Diego says:
@CTO: Let’s find something to cover up with. Dang aliens.

CMO Ens Ordo says:
CO: Sir, maybe we need 'a little more magnification' for the FCO? ::coughs::

@ACTION: The viewscreen is filled with the familiar faces of the away team, only their faces

TO Ens Shin says:
*CO*: Sir I don't think this shuttle is going to be of any more help in finding the away team.

OPS Solie says:
CNS: according to your probe that field is the same as the magnetic field ... I programmed the transporters with your data

CO Capt Wall says:
*TO*: understood Ensign you may return to the bridge

TO Ens Shin says:
*CO*: Aye sir.

CNS Ens Juuls says:
::nods:: OPS: Thank you, we should let the CO decide if he wants to try it though.

OPS Solie says:
::nods::

CNS Ens Juuls says:
::looks at the CO waiting for his decision::

TO Ens Shin says:
Out loud: Ok everyone pack it in and return to your stations.

TO Ens Shin says:
:: leaves shuttlebay to return to the bridge::

CO Capt Wall says:
CNS: proceed

CMO Ens Ordo says:
CO: Sir I suggest beaming in some EVA suits just in case, it will also let us see if the transporters can successfully penetrate the field.

OPS Solie says:
CO: The USS Hood has entered the system. They have hailed us and asked to inform you they will be in transporter range in 5 minutes

TO Ens Shin says:
:: enters the bridge and returns to tactical::

CNS Ens Juuls says:
::nods to OPS:: OPS: proceed when you are ready, please.

CO Capt Wall says:
CMO: the question is will we be able to transport anything yet we don't know if this will work, but make and attempt

CO Capt Wall says:
CMO: anyway...

FCO Diego says:
@::whistles::

CNS Ens Juuls says:
::looks towards the CO:: CO: Are we expecting company Sir?

CMO Ens Ordo says:
TO: Ensign please try and transport EVA suits for the AT.

TO Ens Shin says:
CMO: Aye

CO Capt Wall says:
CNS: yes the Hood was expected I will explain in a moment

OPS Solie says:
TO: I will send you the field frequency

CTO LtCmdr Mesme says:
@::floats watching the two ships:: FCO: I think next time we should send someone else on the away mission.

CMO Ens Ordo says:
CO: The Hood? what is she doing all the way out here?

TO Ens Shin says:
:: signals transporter room one to beams suits to the away team::

FCO Diego says:
@CTO: Agreed. FCO Lost is due for away team duty.

@ACTION: 4 EVA suits appear next to the Away team

CO Capt Wall says:
OPS: respond to the hood understood and to allow up to 15 minutes

TO Ens Shin says:
CO: Suits beamed ok sir.

FCO Diego says:
@::grabs an EVA suit::

CMO Ens Ordo says:
TO: Good news

SO Goodelia says:
@CTO/FCO: The Gods remembered we existed ::puts one of the suits on::

FCO Diego says:
@::Quickly dresses::

CTO LtCmdr Mesme says:
@FCO: I think it’s best if w-- ::watches the suites materialise:: I think we should cover everyone up rather quickly

SO Goodelia says:
@::dresses one on the XO as well::

CO Capt Wall says:
TO: good beam the away team back when they are ready

CMO Ens Ordo says:
CO: well that answers if we can transport safely.

TO Ens Shin says:
CO: Aye sir.

CTO LtCmdr Mesme says:
@::dresses in record time::

OPS Solie says:
CNS/CO: Transport inside successful, trying to beam them out now

@ACTION: The blackness of space is replaced by the familiar Elara transporter room 1

CO Capt Wall says:
OPS: is the away team back onboard

OPS Solie says:
CO: The Hood signals she is ready to receive you

TO Ens Shin says:
CO: Away team aboard sir.

OPS Solie says:
CO: Yes sir, they are safely aboard

CTO LtCmdr Mesme says:
::appears in TR1 and looks around, relaxes slightly:: FCO/SO: We should get the XO to sickbay

CO Capt Wall says:
OPS: open a ship wide com

FCO Diego says:
@::grabs the XO's arms::

SO Goodelia says:
CTO: Yes sir

OPS Solie says:
CO: Com opened Captain

CNS Ens Juuls says:
::looks to the CO with a thoughts which she hopes is not relevant::

CMO Ens Ordo says:
*TR1*: Welcome back everyone. I hope it wasn't too 'cold' out there. Please report to sickbay immediately for full examinations.

CTO LtCmdr Mesme says:
*CMO*: We are on our way; the XO requires some medical attention first though

CMO Ens Ordo says:
*CTO*: Understood

FCO Diego says:
*CMO*: I don't take you for a peeping tom so cut the jokes or I will have to commit a court martial offense.::lets it hang::

CO Capt Wall says:
ALL: I know this is rather sudden but I am moving on to a new assignment, I am needed as my new command is preparing to launch on it next mission and Starfleet wants me to get a briefing and get settled into my new command so I am leaving you now

OPS Solie says:
::stars at the Captain::

FCO Lost says:
Self: Don't tell me we are geting a new CO? He'll hate me too ::sighs::

CMO Ens Ordo says:
::looks around at the CO::

TO Ens Shin says:
:: looks at the CO::

FCO Diego says:
::Drags the XO into a turbolift::

CNS Ens Juuls says:
::turns to the CO in surprise she realised it was a quick time in which to make his decision but not exactly how soon this time would come::

CNS Ens Juuls says:
:;glances at Lost then back to the CO:: CO: I do hope you have made the right decision sir and wish you luck.

CO Capt Wall says:
ALL: I understand there is no time for the usual goodbyes and normal ceremonies but it has been a pleasure serving with you all

CO Capt Wall says:
CNS: thank you Counsler

CMO Ens Ordo says:
CO: All the best sir.

TO Ens Shin says:
CO: It’s been good to serve with you sir.

CMO Ens Ordo says:
All: Well I have to be in sickbay. CNS: I'll see you later, say 8?

CO Capt Wall says:
ALL: well I will be on the USS Paris keep in contact it is welcome, I must go

FCO Diego says:
::Arrives in sickbay and puts the XO on a bed::

CNS Ens Juuls says:
CMO: Sure the Tranquil Nebula at 8 I look forward to it.

CNS Ens Juuls says:
::watches the CO::

CO Capt Wall says:
CNS: you are in command until Commander Timrok returns

ACTION: With a final nod to Solie, Captain Bernie John Wall beams away from the bridge of the Elara. New adventures await him and who knows when the Elara and the Paris will cross paths.
