Host Frank_SM says:
<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>
XO_Vernius says:
::strides onto the bridge, being recently summoned there by the CO:: CO: Sir? You sent for me?
CTO_Wolf says:
::sends orders to TO`s those not patrolling ship are to report to engineering::
CO_Durron says:
::backs out from under the CSO's console and brushes off his uniform than straightens:: XO: Yes.
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
::still under the console furiously working the panels so they are fixed so she can move on::
CNS_Chitwa says:
::stands next to the CO's chair, her back still a bit sore, but who was she going to find to give her a massage::
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
::bangs head again:: Outloud: Augsfratt!!!!  ::rubs head again:
XO_Vernius says:
CO: The Warp Core will be coming online within the hour. Impulse drive shouldn't be far behind. I also have crews re-initializing the sensor hardware, the Science department is working on the software.
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
Self: OK that should fix that.  Now to the intermix Chamber to realign it as well.
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
::curses in Klingon at the sight of the complete misalignment of the raito of the intermix is way off and not its regular one 1:1::
CO_Durron says:
::glances around:: XO: Very Good ALL: Now hear this.  Commander Odan has been injured.  We do not know when she will recover.  As that is the case... XO: Lieutenant Commander Alan Vernius from this moment forward I hereby award you the position of Acting Executive Officer.
CNS_Chitwa says:
::claps for the new XO::
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
::quickly fixes the ratio and watches as the warp core and impulse begin their slow warm-up::
XO_Vernius says:
::Looks a little startled:: CO: Are you sure, sir?
CO_Durron says:
::salutes the new XO.:: XO: Congratulations.
XO_Vernius says:
::returns the salute:: CO: Thank you, sir.
CTO_Wolf says:
XO: Congratulations sir ::returns to work::
CO_Durron says:
::leans forward:: XO: Good luck, and may the admiralty have mercy on your soul.
XO_Vernius says:
::nods his thanks to the others on the bridge::
XO_Vernius says:
CO: Something like that, should I return to Main engineering for now?
CO_Durron says:
ALL: Now lets get back to work.  XO: What is the ETA on our sensors?
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
*CO*: Sir both warp and Impulse are coming back online slowly sir.
XO_Vernius says:
CO: At this point its more of a software issue. The hardware has been reinitialized and is ready to return to functionality. But our power levels are very low until the warp core comes back online.
CTO_Wolf says:
CO: Sir all security teams not patrolling are enroute to engineering
XO_Vernius says:
::nods appreciatively at the news from Lt Rochelle::
CO_Durron says:
*EO* Acknowledged, send further progress reports to Lieutenant Commander Vernius, the Executive Officer, thank you.
CO_Durron says:
XO: Ok, well I'm sure the ship needs more fixing than just that, Until I get a better engineer aboard your still the best I've got, get to work.
XO_Vernius says:
CO: Aye, sir. Can I have the CTO?
CO_Durron says:
XO: Yes.  I'll be in the shuttle bay myself.
XO_Vernius says:
::Nods:: CTO: Mr. Wolf, you're with me. ::heads to the turbo lift::
CTO_Wolf says:
XO: Aye Sir ::follows XO to TL::
Host Frank_SM says:
Action: Small pieces of debris can be heard striking the outer hull near the bridge.
CO_Durron says:
CNS: Have you had any flight training?
XO_Vernius says:
::cringes slightly at the sounds of things hitting the hull:: TL: Main Engineering.
CNS_Chitwa says:
CO: Just a little sirrr.
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: What's your background in, Ensign? Were you cross-trained in Engineering?
CO_Durron says:
CNS: Well lets see if there is anything that can fly.  ::walks to the TL::
CTO_Wolf says:
XO: Intelligence sir but I have some Engineering training
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
::moves from the engines to the shield generators and begins to work on the shield generators to get them up and working fully and stable::
CNS_Chitwa says:
::nods and trots after him::
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: Good, I want you working with Lieutenant Rochelle on the Impulse engines, I think. I'll take care of the sensor systems.
CTO_Wolf says:
XO: Aye sir
CTO_Wolf says:
::fidgets in the TL::
CO_Durron says:
::Hands bridge command off to the Junior NCO with instructions that he is to be contacted if anything happens, than enters the TL and inputs 'Shuttle bay 1'::
XO_Vernius says:
::Steps off the TL when it arrives in Main Engineering:: EO: Lieutenant! Come here for a minute, if you would.
CNS_Chitwa says:
CO: What exactly did you have in mind sirrr?
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
::bangs head again on the console:: OutLoud: Damn it not again!  Augusfratt!!!
XO_Vernius says:
::as an aside:: CTO: Don't mind the swearing, she's really very sweet... um... really deep down.
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
::slides out from under the shield console and spins around and is on her feet ready to curse at who ever it was that made her hit her head again::
CTO_Wolf says:
::raises eyebrow at XO::
CO_Durron says:
CNS: See if there are any shuttles that have working sensors, than see if any of them fly.  It will probably be quicker to fix the shuttle than to fix the Europa.
XO_Vernius says:
EO: Lieutenant, Ensign Wolf here has had some Engineering cross training, he may be useful to you as you're working on the Impulse engines. I'm going to get our sensors online. Keep me informed.
CTO_Wolf says:
EO: Where you want me Lieutenant?
XO_Vernius says:
::Walks to the Engineering console and brings up the sensor software, noticing that someone just got the Short-range sensors back online:: *CO*: Short Range sensors coming online, Captain. Long range should be coming online in a few minutes... I hope.
CO_Durron says:
::steps off the turbo lift and walks into the shuttle bay than glances at the shuttles::
CO_Durron says:
*XO* What are the sensors showing?
XO_Vernius says:
*CO*: Looking now. ::checks the SRS repeater.::
CNS_Chitwa says:
CO: Ahh.. I see sirrr.
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: Come take a look at these Sensor readings, Ensign, and tell me what you think.
CTO_Wolf says:
XO: Aye sir
Host Frank_SM says:
Action: Sensor readings at first are confusing, but soon it is found that the Europa is exactly where it was prior to the explosion.  However there is one very large and very unstable subspace rupture where the Shrack once was.
CTO_Wolf says:
::moves to console beside XO::
CTO_Wolf says:
XO: Curious sir,
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: Indeed it is.
CO_Durron says:
::moves towards the craft that looks to be in the best shape, opens the hatch, and starts a self diagnostic::
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
XO: Sorry sir I didn't recognize you.
XO_Vernius says:
EO: Not a problem, Lieutenant.
CTO_Wolf says:
XO: If weapons were up I'd send a probe in for a closer look
CO_Durron says:
CNS: See if the shuttle bay force field is functioning?
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: Perhaps...
CNS_Chitwa says:
::nods and checks the control panel::
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
XO: Propulsion is still very slow in building.  At this rate it will take at least a week for it to be 100%.
XO_Vernius says:
*CO*: Sir, it appears we are exactly where we were prior to the explosion. The Shrack is gone, but in its place is a large subspace rupture. We can't really tell any more than that at the moment.
XO_Vernius says:
::nods to the EO:: EO: Very well, take the CTO and get back to work. I'll keep on the sensors.
CO_Durron says:
::visually inspects the life support systems, and the shuttle's EVA Suits while the diagnostic runs:: *XO* Any hints on where it goes?
CTO_Wolf says:
:: nods at XO and follows EO::
XO_Vernius says:
*CO*: This really isn't my field, sir. We need the science department to take a look at it.
CNS_Chitwa says:
CO: It's not worrrking sirrr.
XO_Vernius says:
::dryly::*CO*: Preferably without waiting a week for a two hundred page report that doesn't tell us anything.
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
XO: I have been trying to fix the shield generators for shields sir.
CO_Durron says:
*XO* Forward it to them, and see if anyone is able to figure out anything.  ::sits down in the pilot's seat::  CNS: What about the doors themselves?
CTO_Wolf says:
::walks over to help EO::
XO_Vernius says:
EO: Carry on then, be sure to include the magcon field in shuttle bay, the Captain mentioned he was headed that way.
XO_Vernius says:
*CO*: Aye, sir.
XO_Vernius says:
::Sends a request to the science department to analyze the readings and get back to the CO and XO ASAP::
XO_Vernius says:
::Bend over his console to work on the LRS::
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
::takes the CTO and gets all dirty again under the shield generator console  waiting for the CTO to join her::
CTO_Wolf says:
::climbs under shield generator console beside EO::
CNS_Chitwa says:
Self: Hmmm ::checks::
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
CTO: How good are you?  :: begins to rewire the control panel::
CTO_Wolf says:
EO: We'll see Lt, my training was basic
CTO_Wolf says:
EO: looks like I'll get a quick education
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
CTO: Well then you are qualified.  ::hands him the hyperspanner and shows him where to begin::
CTO_Wolf says:
::takes spanner and gets to work::
CO_Durron says:
::attempts to power up the shuttle's sensor systems, without powering the rest of the craft::
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
CTO: How long you been on the Europa?  ::rewires another part of the console and it shows a little life::
CNS_Chitwa says:
CO: I can do it manually, sirrr...but the moterrrs arren't worrrking.
CTO_Wolf says:
EO: A few months, came straight here out of the academy
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
CTO: Fresh from the Academy huh?
CTO_Wolf says:
EO: Yes ma`am
CTO_Wolf says:
::wipes greasy hand over forehead ridges::
CTO_Wolf says:
::replaces burnt out wire connection::
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
CTO: They still got the same instructor for Engineering class there?  Capt. Ronald Cooper?
XO_Vernius says:
*CO*: Just got a report from the science department, they say its similar to the rupture that brought us here, but its destination is changing constantly. They can't predict what would happen if something entered it.
CTO_Wolf says:
EO: yes ma`am
CO_Durron says:
*XO* See if they can think of a way to stabilize it.
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
::pulls on the other component and out it pops burnt to a chrisp::
XO_Vernius says:
*CO* Aye, sir. ::sends the Captain's request on to the Science people::
CTO_Wolf says:
::pulls out another burnt out chip, looks at it in disgust and tosses it behind him whilst grabbing a new one::
CNS_Chitwa says:
::works on figuring out exactly how to open the doors manually::
XO_Vernius says:
::glances at the EO and CTO under a console and suppresses a chuckle::
CTO_Wolf says:
EO: I think the XO owes us a drink after this
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
XO: Take a look at this burnt relay component.  It looks like it had a surge shot through it.
CO_Durron says:
*XO* Also, see if you can get the forcefield in the shuttlebay online.
 XO_Vernius says:
*CO*: We're already working on that.
XO_Vernius says:
EO: Indeed, it appears the surge suppressors were overloaded. Might have been the emergency shutdown of the warp core... or a half dozen other things. Do you have a theory?
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
CTO: Well if we get this ship back together and in order and running I think you are well within your right to ask for that drink.
CTO_Wolf says:
:: nods as he replaces chip::
XO_Vernius says:
EO: The Captain has asked for an expedite on the shuttle bay magcon field, how're we coming?
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
XO: Well I don't know about a theory but it may have been caused by a surge from the rift as well.
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
XO: I have two hands and not two bodies.  When I finish here I will do the magcon field.
XO_Vernius says:
::looks thoughtful:: EO: Possible, but I'm not sure that that information helps us much at the moment, we still need to replace the boards.
CO_Durron says:
::begins the automatic preflight on the type 10 shuttle, than stands, exits the shuttle and signals for one of the deck crew to load micro-probes into the shuttle.
XO_Vernius says:
EO: Carry on. ::Heads back to the LRS console::
XO_Vernius says:
*CO*: Sir, it will be a while before the magcon is online, you may want to evacuate the shuttle bay and use the airlock.
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
Outloud: Heu'teugh this is pitiful.
CO_Durron says:
*XO* Ok.
CTO_Wolf says:
:: EO`s out burst causes him to bash head against console::
CO_Durron says:
CNS: Begin to clear the shuttle bay.
XO_Vernius says:
::hears some thumping from across the way and wonders what's going on::
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
CTO: Sorry but when I get furious I do have a bad habit of cursing in Klingon.
CNS_Chitwa says:
::nods and starts gathering up small things::
CO_Durron says:
Deck Crew: I need one volunteer, to open the door for me.
CTO_Wolf says:
EO: is ok ::rubs head::
CO_Durron says:
<Flight Deck Chief> CO: I'll do it.  ::goes to put on an EVA suit::
CNS_Chitwa says:
CO: Did you want me to go with you in the shuttle?
CO_Durron says:
CNS: Yes.  I've got the pre-flight started, if you could check the status and get us ready to go I'd appreciate it.
XO_Vernius says:
::starts getting frustrated with the LRS software::
CTO_Wolf says:
::replaces wire bundle into console::
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
XO: Breathe deeply sir I can sense your emotions sir.
XO_Vernius says:
::gives Rochelle a look, then returns his attention to the console and slams his fist down on a button.... Bringing the Long Range sensors back online::
CNS_Chitwa says:
::nods:: CO: Alrright. ::puts the things she's gathered away in a safe location, then jogs over and hops into the shuttle::
CO_Durron says:
::watches the last of the deck crew depart and seals the door after them.::
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
CTO: You know how to finish here?
XO_Vernius says:
::grins at himself and checks the LRS repeater::
CO_Durron says:
<Flight Deck Chief> CO: I'll handle it from this end, sir.
CTO_Wolf says:
EO: Yes ma`am I'll yell if I have any problems
CO_Durron says:
::nods and gets into the shuttle.:: CNS: As soon as the doors open take us out.
CNS_Chitwa says:
::nods:: CO: Alrrright sirrr....It's been a while, so I might be a bit rrrusty.
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
CTO: OK cause I have to get the rest of the stuff working here.  I will be doing the weapons if you need me.
CO_Durron says:
<Flight Deck Chief> ::checks the seals on her EVA suit, and begins the process of pulling the atmosphere out of the shuttle bay into the reserve tanks::
XO_Vernius says:
::Face begins to fall as he sees the readout:: *CO*: Sir, Long range sensors back online. A fleet of Thaurian ships is inbound to our location. ETA 22 hours.
CTO_Wolf says:
::nods at EO and returns to the burnt out relays::
CO_Durron says:
<Flight Deck Chief> ::watches the pressure reading fall::
CO_Durron says:
*XO* Any chance we will be in fighting trim by that time?
CO_Durron says:
<Flight Deck Chief> ::begins turning the crank to open the pod bay doors::
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
:: slides under the weapons console and begins the repair work for the weapons::
CTO_Wolf says:
::pulls out relay and in disgust throws it over shoulder, replaces with a new one::
XO_Vernius says:
*CO*: Well, sir, about all I can promise is that you won't feel any pain when their weapons vaporize us.
CO_Durron says:
*XO* Weapons just dropped the bottom of your list of things to do, Sensors, than propulsion.
CNS_Chitwa says:
::blinks as her sensitive hearing picks up on the conversation:: CO: The what?
XO_Vernius says:
*CO*: Sensors fully online, propulsion will be online ASAP, sir.
