=/\= U.S.S. Elara Stardate 10709.23 - "The mistakes of the few..." Part III =/\=

The USS Elara remains in the Nova Pax system while her crew tries to figure out what happened to the colonists.

The away team sent to Pacifica station has devised a way to jump-start the station systems, but it is unclear whether or not they will succeed.

The worse problems seem to be on the surface though where all the inhabitants' life signs are slowly fading, at this rate there won't be much left to save in less than 30 minutes. All because of neutrino emissions from the so-called "Lyta wormhole" which was apparently created when the Quantum Generator mysteriously exploded.

Meanwhile, Peter Pazoski is having daydreams of a diplomatic career

Sotok says: 
@::Impatiently paces his operations room::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::looks up from his console:: CO: We need to shove a cork in that wormhole. I'd even go so far as to say we collapse it.

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
::tapping at his console trying to get it to do what he wants it to do::

ACTION: Anyone looking to sensors will see with some dismay how the planet population keeps fading from existence

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@::received an update from the Elara that the Science Team didn't beam down and why they didn't beam down::

TO Ens Boktor says: 
::At the bridge, behind the tactical console. But sometimes looking towards the CEO, as he is taking over the science part.::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
:: Sitting in the Captains chair on the bridge :: CEO: Agreed, see what you can do on the subject

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
::frowns at the life sign readings and taps faster at his console::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CTO/TO: Continue preparations with the shields - we may have to play the part of the cork

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
::reading a padd that contains the basics of the plan to restart the stations reactors::

Dr Greene says: 
::In his office once more, still looking at the data gathered from Pazoski, wondering what it is that happened to him, as he waits for answers from the scientific and medical world of Starfleet::

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
TO: I need a full and accurate scan of the neutrino emissions from that wormhole.

TO Ens Boktor says: 
CTO: Lieutenant, I have time to work on a portion of work. Can you hand me over some things you want to account? Put it on this pad please. ::Handing over a pad to the CTO.::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
CO: Sir, it is a micro-wormhole! We'd never fit and the stress of the ship... well it wouldn't take an Engineer to tell you the damage it'd cause.

Sotok says: 
@OPS: We have partial communications back thanks to your people. But still nothing from the planet

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
::taps his commbadge:: *OPS*: Pazoski to Tar, how are things going over there?  I have been reading your plan to restart the reactor, are you sure the Elara is at no risk?

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@::walks over to Sotok:: Sotok: I just got news about what is going on the planet. It seems there are emissions from a wormhole.

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
*CO*: Captain, we're about ready to initiate a trial run on the modifications to the Elara's shields. We'll need to move the Elara into.... ::Pauses, checking his calculations again:: these coordinates for maximum effectiveness. These coordinates should provide enough sunlight exposure from the nearby sun to power up the station, while keeping us at a relatively safe distance from it.
CTO Lt Sollo says: 
::taps on the PADD and gives it back to the TO::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
CTO: You may want to reconfigure a torpedo.

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@::taps his badge:: *XO*: Tar here. Commander Maor is handling the start-up procedure while engineers are getting and keeping things running over here.

Sotok says: 
@::frowns while he waits for the Starfleet officer to finish his conversation::

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
CEO: Give me the specifications and I'll do it myself.

TO Ens Boktor says: 
::Took the pad over from the CTO and started immediately on the scans.::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
*CIV* We will adjust our position accordingly

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
*OPS*: Understood, I will contact him.  Any luck getting access to the sensor logs of the station yet?  I would be very much interested in browsing them.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::sends all data to the tactical console:: CTO: Usually a micro-wormhole is micro because it's in an advanced state of collapse anyway... if we could just speed that process up somehow?

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
::Transfers the coordinates as an afterthought:: *CO*: Assuming all goes according to plan we should be able to initiate a proper power transfer after our systems will get the chance to re-sync again, Captain.

TO Ens Boktor says: 
::Started scanning the neutrino emissions of the wormhole.::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
CO: Sir, when we can find a spare minute, there is something I need to discuss with you.

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@*XO*: We've just brought communications partially back online, but we need more power to access other systems.

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
*OPS* Make it your priority once the station is out of immediate danger.  Pazoski out.

Sotok says: 
@::nods in front of OPS, listening to the conversation::

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
::transfers the data to a PADD:: CEO: I hope you're right, I'd hate to be making things worse.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
XO: Sure, shoot

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
CTO: Sounds like you... ::grins:: We could use a monkeys fist right about now... tie the wormhole up!

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
::hesitates for just a moment:: CO: It would be better if we discussed this in private sir.

TO Ens Boktor says: 
CTO: The first data about the scans are available. Do you want it on your terminal sir?

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@*XO*: We've just brought communications partially back online, but we need more power to access other systems.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
Duty FCO: adjust our position to the co-ordinates provided by commander Maor :: Stands up and heads for the ready room ::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
XO: Walk this way

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
::gets up and follows his CO::

Sotok says: 
@OPS: Regarding what you said ... you mentioned wormhole? There are no wormholes in the Nova Pax system

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CTO: You have the bridge :: enters the ready room ::

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
::steps into the lift:: CEO: I doubt a monkey's fist would fit in the wormhole. ::lets the doors close and rides the lift to the torpedo storage and manufacturing area::

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@Sotok: I can't give you an explanation either. The Elara is investigating the causes.

ACTION: The Elara gracefully moves so she has a direct line to both Pacifica and the Pax sun

CO Capt Timrok says: 
:: closing the door behind Pazoski :: XO: What is on your mind?

TO Ens Boktor says: 
CTO: All scans are ready. I am starting a more narrowed scan now. Data is on this pad. :: Handed over the pad to the CTO.::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
::stands close to the door:: CO: Sir, Commander Mesme is still alive.

Sotok says: 
@OPS: In theory, the quantum instabilities caused by the explosion of the generator could have caused one. The Romulans warned us you know, they were even sending a ship, but our government was stubbornly independent

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::finds himself as the highest ranking officer on the bridge:: Aloud: Fiddlesticks!

CO Capt Timrok says: 
XO: Excuse me?

ACTION: The TO suddenly sees his PADD fall to the ground as the CTO is no longer there. Sollo can be quite stealthy

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
::Pauses for a moment as he tries to decipher a reading from his PADD:: *CEO*: Trial run ready is, Lieutenant. I’m awaiting your mark

TO Ens Boktor says: 
CTO: Get that pad pleassssssssssss... huh?

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
CO: Commander Mesme is alive sir.  The liquid I drank while in the... pocket of space allowed the subspace aliens that apparently "killed" him to contact me.  They wish to send him back to our space to initiate diplomatic relations; however they require a clone body to send him back to.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::checks the ship is at the right coordinates:: *CIV*: Ready up here, Commander.

TO Ens Boktor says: 
CEO: Do you want the data of the scans of the neutrino emissions? I had not noticed that the CTO left the bridge. I think the computer took too much of my attention. ::Picking up the pad.::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
XO: They’ve got a damned nerve!

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
TO: Yes give me a copy, but don't expect me to understand them. I'm an Engineer dammit, not a Scientist!

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
TO: And yes, Sollo can be quite stealthy...

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
*CEO*: I'll be required to take our shields offline for a few moments, Lieutenant. Shouldn't be more than a few seconds, if all goes according to plan. ::Changes screens on his PADD:: Assuming remote control of the Elara's shield controls, standby.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
XO: Are you sure about this?

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
::arrives in the right place opens up a torpedo and starts fostering with the settings::

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@::nods:: Sotok: That may be a cause yes. Right now, our business here is to get this station back running. I'm sure the Elara is doing whatever they can to find out more about the wormhole.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
*CIV*: Understood, and standing by, suggest we keep an open comm during the test.

TO Ens Boktor says: 
::Walked away from the console towards the CEO. Handing over the pad and walking back to the console.:: CEO: Here is the pad. I am running a more refined scan now. This was a rather quick scan, but fine as well.

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
CO: Well you did murder countless of their species... I witnessed that too ::seems to lose himself for a moment:: Regardless, they also said that if we didn't do this then our species couldn’t co-exist, which to me sounds like overtures for war.  Yes sir, positive, that is what they have told and shown me, of course it could be a deception, but I do not see what they have to gain from it at the moment.

Sotok says: 
@::walks impatiently around:: OPS: You don't understand Lt, I gave up my career, my personal life to build this colony. And after all the trouble we had it is just going to be destroyed?

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::takes the Padd:: TO: Thank you...er... ::not used to being in charge up here and is reminded of the cosy engineering room:: TO: Carry on...

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@Sotok: I didn't say it is going to be destroyed. But we can't do anything from this station.

TO Ens Boktor says: 
CEO: Yes sir!

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
::Pushes the button::

ACTION: As Maor inputs the appropriate command, the Elara shields go offline to be reconfigured....

ACTION: As they do, alarms go off on the bridge indicating the ship is vulnerable to attack

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::silences the alarms::

ACTION: The alarms are quieted by JoBrel's actions, and a few seconds later the shields return, slightly modified

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
::hears the alarms before they are silenced and instantly recognises them:: *CEO* What the hell's going on up there?

CO Capt Timrok says: 
:: Pokes Pazoski on the chest :: XO: That was a damned set up! we were given bad orders :: does a quick about turn and back again :: They had no right to take Mesme... we should try to get him back

TO Ens Boktor says: 
::The TO started to sprint the last meter towards the console as he heard the alarm go of. Looking at the console appeared that the scans where completed for 50%.::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
*CTO*: Keep your knickers on, Iain, just beat your tetris score thats all!

Sotok says: 
@::stops in front of Tar and looks him in the eyes:: OPS: If our transporters were working I'd go down there to see what is happening. And that is what you should be doing!

CO Capt Timrok says: 
XO: This wormhole - is that their doing?

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
*CEO*: Just a few more minutes here... Here we go, Lieutenant. Initiating operation Solar Flare, trial one.  ::Changes the shields frequencies according to the checklist::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
*CIV*: How did it go, Sir?

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
::remains emotionless, or as emotionless as he usually it:: CO: I know all about the mission Sir, there was no way you could have known.  They did not tell me about any wormhole, however it may not be a co-incidence that we were delayed from getting here just until after the generator exploded.

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
*CEO*: Don't get cute... I know every alarm on this ship like the back of my hand... who dropped the shields and why was I not informed?

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@Sotok: I can understand you want to go down there, but I have my orders to get this station running. I told you the Elara crew is working on a solution to save the colony.

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
::Watches the progress meter go up:: *CEO*: Standby, waiting for results.

TO Ens Boktor says: 
CEO: Refined scans are at 70% sir.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::waits patiently for 1. Shields to be back up permanently and 2. Someone to retake the bridge:: *CTO*: It was required for the modifications.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::nods to the TO::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
CO: We will know more when the sensor logs are available from the Station.  In the meantime, I assume I have your permission to have medical create a clone of Commander Mesme?

ACTION: The Elara shields shimmer with the absorption of light, which is quickly dispersed to space. On the viewports all over the ship the crew is in for a spectacle of light

Dr Greene says: 
::Taps his console a few times to change some of the simulation parameters and starts another run::

TO Ens Boktor says: 
::Looks around for a free pad. Found one on top of the console.:: Self: Hehe it is good to put a reserve put on top of the console.

TO Ens Boktor says: 
Self: 90% complete. Last part goes very fast.

Sotok says: 
@OPS: Tell me Lieutenant, was your family ever in mortal danger and you were unable to do anything?

CO Capt Timrok says: 
XO: You do not, the only person who has the right to authorise that is Aunto Mesme, which he can do when they return him, and in the mean time, I had better stop the CTO from shooting torpedoes at the wormhole

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
*CEO*: Next time I'd like to know beforehand. ::cuts the Com and mutters as he returns to fiddling with the torpedo:: Self: Nobody tells me anything round here.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::checks the results:: *CIV*: That test just caused a minor power imbalance in my..our...Warp core. Everything remained within safe parameters.

TO Ens Boktor says: 
::The console bleeps, process ready. The TO, copied all to the pad.:: Self Finally.

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
CO: Sir, you misunderstand, they cannot return him without a clone, I am assuming that his corporeal body has been destroyed somehow.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::opens the comm again:: *CTO*: Your department was made aware, but I can't go chasing you when you silently leave the bridge Iain!

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@Sotok: Not me personally, but one of my previous hosts did. So I know what you're talking about.

TO Ens Boktor says: 
::Walked over to the CEO, handed over the second pad.:: CEO: Sir, I have the refined scans for you.  I cannot refine that more, by my knowledge. If there is anything else, that needs to be done, let me know please.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
XO: What are you saying? They have his personality but no body for it?

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
*CEO*: Understood, Lieutenant. Up to you if you want to a carry a secondary trial run or just go ahead and finish with this thing, I should be able to correct the power flux we've experienced but it's not exact science here. I believe we're doing something no other Starfleet vessel has ever attempted on this scale.

Sotok says: 
@::takes a deep breath, which looks rather odd on a Romulan and sits down, defeated:: OPS: Your people are sure taking their time with those tests

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
*CEO*: You know I was talking to you as I left the bridge.

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@Sotok: I'll contact the Elara to see how things are going and I'll ask them to keep you updated.

Dr Greene says: 
::Looks at the new results, taking note of the significance:: Self: Aha....

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
CO: Something like that sir, they were somewhat vague in the details.

Sotok says: 
@OPS: I don't need updates, I need solutions

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
*CTO*: Oh well you know me...::pauses:: What? Who is this again? ::grins:: *CIV*: Everything was in parameters. As far as my Engineering opinion goes, we're good to get finished as long as we have a way to quickly abort should the need arise.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
XO: Animals..... this is very irregular....

TO Ens Boktor says: 
CEO: Lieutenant, matters are getting worse on that planet. It is hard to detect life forms on there.

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
::removes his badge from his tunic and holds it about 3 inches from his mouth:: *CEO*: Thhrrrrrrrrrpt.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
TO: I understand that Ensign, that's why I'm not having a Brandy right now.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
XO: Speak to Dr Greene; see what he has to say about this.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
*CTO*: OH! I see, you still didn't get over the time I got you with the whoopee cushion!

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@::nods to Sotok:: *Elara bridge*: Tar to Elara. I need an update on what's happening on the planet.

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
*CEO*: Understood, turning all systems to production levels. ::Pauses as he scans the life signs aboard the station:: Lieutenant, I'm detecting that the OPS is still aboard the station. I strongly suggest he'll beam over to the Elara for the duration of the power transfer.

Dr Greene says: 
::Makes some notes on the files he already had on the liquid, and sends out an update to his colleagues across Starfleet::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
CO: When is anything on this ship regular? ::manages a slim smile:: Will do sir.  In the meantime I think we have a billion people to save ::turns to exit through the door::

TO Ens Boktor says: 
CEO: That is all I could find out for the moment. I will continue scanning if needed.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
*CTO*: All joking aside, we're almost out of time. How is it going? *CIV*: Understood. ::taps his combadge again:: *OPS*: Elara to Tar

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
*CEO*: That reminds me I still have to get you back for that... ::finishes the modifications:: ...that ought to do it... I'm coming back to the bridge.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
:: Follows Pazoski back onto the bridge :: CEO: Report

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
*CTO*: Acknowledged. *OPS*: We're ready for the test; your prescience has been requested.

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
::steps in to the lift again and waits for it to arrive back on deck 1::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
CO: Torpedo has been modified, the away team has just contacted us and hopefully Tar should be returning momentarily. Scans have been updated and we're almost out of time to fix this,

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@*CEO*: I'll beam over in a few moments, but can you give me an update on how things are going on the planet?

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
*OPS*: Not good. No changes yet and we're running out of time.

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@::sighs:: *CEO*: I hoped for better news.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
*OPS*: We're working on it!

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CEO: Ah yes, the torpedo... I'm afraid that might be a problem

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
::steps out of the lift and moves silently behind the TO:: TO: What did I miss?

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
::taps his badge:: *CIV*: How are we coming on the station power front Mr Maor?

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
CO: Oh, well Sollo may not be happy with that ::gestures as the CTO walks back on the bridge:: CO: Why is that then Sir? I'd say we have mere minutes left!

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@*CEO*: You just need me back to the Elara?

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
*XO*: Trial run finished successfully, Commander. Waiting for the OPS to return to the Elara before I initiate the actual power transfer.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
*OPS*: Yes, for a power transfer. The team modifying the shields are waiting.

Dr Greene says: 
::Leaves his office and heads over to the lab again to run some more tests on the liquid itself::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CEO: There is a strong possibility it could cause a diplomatic problem with the alien race we encountered before, a mistake I don't wish to repeat.

TO Ens Boktor says: 
CTO: Ah there you are, well I had a pad with the first scans. But I had handed them over to the CEO. :: Stops to talk as he sees a new scan coming up.:: CTO:Wait a second sir, I have new information.  I cannot detect any life signs anymore.  They could be there, or they could not be there. There life signs are simply too weak to be detected by Elara.

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@*CEO*: Acknowledged. Tar out. ::walks over to Sotok:: Sotok: My presence is required on the Elara for the power transfer. ::taps his combadge:: *Elara*: Tar to Elara, one to beam back.

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
*CIV*: I take it there were no unexpected problems?

Sotok says: 
@::shakes his head at the run-away officer::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::sends the order for transport::

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
::takes a look at the readings then double checks them... he can still sense their presence but it's very faint:: CO: Captain we have a problem.

Transporter Chief says: 
 ::initiates transport::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CEO: How far forward are we with the Generating station?

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CTO: Another one?

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
*XO*: Commander, I strongly advice we evacuate the station from any personnel before we initiate the power transfer. With the amount of data we have regarding this procedure we simply can't guarantee their safety. ::Pauses in thought:: I believe the Elara avatar could be beamed over to the station in order to finish up the last step in our plan, actually transferring power to the carious stations. Pending the success of the plan the station personnel will be able to return to their station after station regains power.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
CO: Waiting for the next modification from the CIV Sir.

TO Ens Boktor says: 
CTO: Do you know a better way to boost the signals?

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CEO: can we move?

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
CO: No... Same one, only a little worse... we've completely lost the readings but I can still sense them.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
CO: I believe we are specific co-ordinates as given by the CIV. Physically we can but it's not practical.

ACTION: Tar materializes in transporter room one

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
TO: I just tried that... they're still there, we just can't find them on sensors.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
:: shakes his head :: CEO: Then I'm sorry - we must

OPS Lt Tar says: 
::nods to the transporter chief and then heads for the bridge::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
*CIV*: Understood, I will okay it with the Captain, in the meantime get the avatar and her mobile emitter to a transporter room.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
CO: Aye Sir, but you break the news to Maor. He might bite me!

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
*XO*: I'm afraid I'm not even sure where her emitter is, Commander.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
Duty FCO: Place us directly into the path of the emissions from the wormhole - block them from reaching the planet

OPS Lt Tar says: 
::enters the turbolift:: TL: Bridge.

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
*CIV*: I know someone who will know it's location.  I will get back to you.  Pazoski out.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
*CIV/OPS* Gentlemen, bad news, the situation requires that we adjust our position

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
CO: Captain, we might not be able to see them on sensors but there are approximately one billion very frightened people down there.

ACTION: The Elara moves to intercept the neutrino emissions from the planet. Thanks to Maor's modifications, the shield starts absorbing the neutrinos effectively blocking them from the planet

ACTION: But...

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
CTO: I think I'd have wet myself too if I was fading away!

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CTO: I'm not about to let them disappear on us

OPS Lt Tar says: 
::just before the turbolift halts at the bridge Tar straightens his uniform and then exits on the bridge:: CO: Captain.

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
*CO*: Understood, standing by.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CTO: Continue monitoring the colony population

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
Self: oohhhhhh no... :: looks up from his console:: CO: The shields are heating up... they can't take much more of this, they’ll reach critical temperature in about 10 minutes.

OPS Lt Tar says: 
::quickly walks over to the OPS station and checks on what exactly is going on::

TO Ens Boktor says: 
::TO heard the command towards the CTO.:: CTO: I am still on it sir. I have copied all info to your terminal too.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
OPS: Welcome back, :: listening to the CTO ::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
Aloud: I knew I'd end up having to fix something today...

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
TO: I'll do that, you monitor those shields and have the torpedo ready to fire.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
CTO: Shame we can't use that torpedo.

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
*XO*: Uh. Something is happening to the shields, Commander. I'm not sure... ::Pauses as he continues to decipher the various figures from his PADD::

OPS Lt Tar says: 
::notices the cause of the overheating shields, but also notices life signs on the planet::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
*CIV*: I need a better description that "something" Mr Maor.

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
::senses the presence of the population getting stronger:: CO: It's working Captain... but at what cost?

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
CEO: What?!?!

OPS Lt Tar says: 
CO: I read life signs on the planet. They're increasing.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
CTO: Ok, in plain Betazed... Torpedo, a big no-no!

CO Capt Timrok says: 
All: If we don't get a more permanent solution than this quickly all we will achieve is to save the population for ten minutes

TO Ens Boktor says: 
CTO: Yes sir. That is only the information I have collected so far. I will continue to monitor the shields; meanwhile I will prepare a torpedo, ready to be shot.

SO T'sok says: 
::glancing over from the science console, she can only think one thing "The needs of the many ..."::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CTO: Are you 100% confident that your torpedo will close the wormhole?

TO Ens Boktor says: 
::Hands over all information regarding the scans to the console of the CTO. Started up a process to prepare a torpedo, to be launched if needed. After that the TO started to monitor the shields.::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::turns to the CO as well:: CO: If he followed the specifications, if that doesn't work, no torpedo will.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
Self: Then God have mercy on my soul for what I'm about to do

TO Ens Boktor says: 
::The console beeps. Torpedo ready.:: CTO: Torpedo is ready to be launched.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::wonders what the hesitation is with the torpedo::

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
CO: Yes... I set it up so it doesn't even need to detonate.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CTO: Fire the torpedo :: voice saddened by the consequences he see's coming ::

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
*XO*: Shields won't last much longer at their current state, Commander. If you have an idea, I suggest you go through with it as soon as possible. I'm already beginning to see signs of degradation in the shield's matrix.

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
::presses the fire button::

OPS Lt Tar says: 
::reroutes more power to the shields::

TO Ens Boktor says: 
Self: SIGH!

ACTION: The torpedo leaves the Elara at best possible speed heading for the minute event horizon. The crew watch as it travels from the viewscreen
