Host Frank_SM says:
The USS Europa is currently in a region of uncharted space.  They have no idea where they are or how they got there, but they have encountered a ship full of insectoid creatures whose intent has yet to be established.
Host Frank_SM says:
<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>
CEO_Vernius says:
::continuing analysis of the alien transmissions::
CO_Durron says:
::sitting in the big chair trying to think of something to do that won't put him directly in someone's way::
FCO_Kami says:
::At his console, keeping track of his programmed evasive maneuvers as well as other spatial anomalies in the area.::
XO_Odan says:
::still at SCI 2 working on making the images:: CO: Captain, we have completed a series of pictures and animations you can use to communicate. We are still working on more but you could start with these...
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: Captain, the alien ship is maintaining position 100 km off the starboard bow.
CO_Durron says:
CEO: Very good, any news on the UT yet?
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: Still working, sir.
CO_Durron says:
::folds his arms:: CEO: Any idea how long it will take?
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: The computer has given no indication as yet, sir.
CO_Durron says:
::looks at the viewscreen:: Self: Swell.
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: Perhaps you might try the XO's pictographs, sir?
CO_Durron says:
CEO: I'm going to give the UT fifteen minutes to spit something back at us before I go to that.  It'll give me a chance to look at them at least.  XO: Could you forward them to my armrest?
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: Aye, sir.
XO_Odan says:
CO: Doing so as we speak, sir. If you have special requests, let us know. I'm working on a few more. We've made a short list of them so you can easily see what is accessible.
Host Frank_SM says:
Action: Another vessel, smaller and with a different energy signature from the first one, is detected on Sensors.
CO_Durron says:
::Begins paging through the images distractedly tapping his fingers on the other armrest::
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: New contact, bearing 163, mark 29. Smaller and faster than the first alien ship. They're not of the same make, sir.
CO_Durron says:
::Looks up:: FCO: Time until they intercept?
CO_Durron says:
CEO: Any indication that contact one has seen them?
Host Frank_SM says:
Action:  The First vessel, turns then heads directly away from the smaller vessel at it's maximum speed.
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: The first alien vessel is fleeing, sir. At flank speed
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: I recommend we follow the first vessel, sir.... and go to Red Alert.
CO_Durron says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CEO: What is the first contact's flank speed?
XO_Odan says:
::continues making images and animations while trying to keep an eye on the situation:: CO: Want me to fully scan the new vessel sir? Maybe we would be able to communicate with them.
CO_Durron says:
XO: Not yet, They are still only on LRS, It is more likely that we will need a full vocabulary.
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: Warp 3.8, sir. Not fast enough, contact Sierra-two will overtake, she's at warp 5 and not at maximum power.
XO_Odan says:
::nods and goes back to her work::
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: Orders, sir?
CO_Durron says:
FCO: Plot the location that the two will intercept.
CO_Durron says:
CEO: Keep the UT chewing on any dialog that the ships pump out.
FCO_Kami says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::Examines the courses of both vessels and does the calculations.::
FCO_Kami says:
CO: Location plotted.
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: We have yet to be hailed by Sierra-Two, sir. And are we sure we want to intervene?
CO_Durron says:
FCO: Time to the intercept, and when will the second ship be in communications range of us?
CO_Durron says:
CEO: I am aware of the situation Lieutenant.
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: Aye, sir.
Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The Second vessel increases it's speed and will overtake the first in about 10 minutes.
FCO_Kami says:
CO: ETA to interception: 10 minutes.
CEO_Vernius says:
::turns back to his work::
FCO_Kami says:
CO: Second vessel in communications range.
CO_Durron says:
FCO: Send a hail to the second contact.
FCO_Kami says:
CO: Aye. ::Hails the ship.::
Host Frank_SM says:
Action: There is no response to the Europa's hail.
FCO_Kami says:
CO: No response.
CEO_Vernius says:
::looks on passive sensors for indications of shield and weapon status on Sierra-Two::
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: Contact Sierra-Two has its shields up and weapons charged, sir.
CO_Durron says:
FCO: Move us slowly to the location that the two will intercept, lowest warp factor that will get us there before they intercept.
CEO_Vernius says:
::looks worried::
FCO_Kami says:
CO: Aye. ::Plots and executes the course.::
CO_Durron says:
CEO: Keep an ear open, I want every scrap of comm chatter you can pull in.
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::attempts to intercept any communications between the two ships::
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: The ships do not appear to be communicating, sir. ::continues to monitor the comm channels::
CO_Durron says:
FCO: Hail the second contact again
FCO_Kami says:
::Hails.:: CO: Aye, sir.
FCO_Kami says:
CO: No response, sir.
CO_Durron says:
FCO: Signal sick bay that they may be receiving casualties.
FCO_Kami says:
CO: Aye. ::Does as he's told.::
CO_Durron says:
CEO: Scan contact two, make sure they know we are taking a look
Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The Europa arrives at the point the two ships will intercept.
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::Makes an obvious and powerful active scan of Sierra-Two::
CO_Durron says:
FCO: Move us up Vertically five hundred meters.
Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The Second ship intercepts the first one, fires what appears to be a warning shot then let's them leave, stropping out of warp very near the Europa.
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: Sir, sierra-two has fired a warning shot at Sierra-one, but they aren't pursuing, they're dropping out of warp next to us.
CO_Durron says:
CEO: Splendid, we appear to have gotten their attention.  FCO: Lets see if they are willing to talk now.  Hail the second ship again...if they aren't already hailing us.
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: That we have, sir. ::quietly::
FCO_Kami says:
::Hails once more and waits for a response.:: CO: Aye, sir.
CO_Durron says:
::folds his arms:: CEO: What did your scan get us?
Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The ship rotates to face the Europa and responds to it's hail.
FCO_Kami says:
CO: We've got a response.
CO_Durron says:
FCO: Bring us about to face the contact two.  ::Looks at the CEO::
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: She's an even match for the Europa, sir. Similar weight of arms and shield strength. Though she does appear to be slower than the Europa.
CO_Durron says:
FCO: Put them on screen
FCO_Kami says:
::Begins to turn the ship in the direction of contact two.:: CO: Aye, sir. ::Puts them on the screen.::
CO_Durron says:
::turns back remaining seated and keeping his arms crossed::
Host Thrag says:
@COM: Europa: Unknown ship, have a little bug problem?
CO_Durron says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: COM: Sierra-two: I couldn't say, we are having problems with our translator, we couldn't understand them.
Host Thrag says:
@COM: Europa: CO: Doesn't matter, they have nothing to say anyway.
CEO_Vernius says:
::isn't sure if he likes the newcomers, their attitude is...odd::
CO_Durron says:
COM: Sierra-two: But it appears that you do.  I am Captain Ray Durron onboard the Starfleet vessel USS Europa, Who am I addressing?
Host Thrag says:
@COM: Europa: CO: Starfleet?  Never heard of you before.  Anyway, I am Thrag.
CO_Durron says:
::nods:: COM: Sierra-Two: There was an accident, and we have become somewhat...lost.  Any information you would be willing to share regarding local space would be more than welcome.
Host Thrag says:
@COM: Europa: CO: Lost?  Well I suppose I could furnish you with some of the local starcharts. Maybe that would help?
CO_Durron says:
COM: Sierra-Two: I'm afraid that we are a bit more lost than that, but anything you could send would help, right now we don't even know what galaxy we are in.
Host Thrag says:
@COM: Europa: CO: Sure, I'll have them sent over in a moment. ::Scratches his head wondering how they could be so lost::
CO_Durron says:
::types a message to the FCO's console telling him to isolate any incoming data to as small a part of the computer as possible hoping that he will come up with the way to do so.::
FCO_Kami says:
::Scratches his head then gets to work on his console.::
CO_Durron says:
COM: Sierra-Two: What is the name of your species?  What do you call your ship? What is the name of the bugs you chased off?
Host Thrag says:
@COM: Europa: CO: Sending you what I have right now.  ::The information begins to download to the Europa's computer::
Host Thrag says:
