Host Bob says:
THE GENEVA IS 'STUCK' IN A BLACK AREA OF THE GALAXY, THE SPECIFICS OF WHICH ARE UNKNOWN

CNS_Landt says:
::watching the bridge crew as they work::

XO_Eden says:
::Notes the new FCO at the helm::

FCO_Elack says:
::approaches her new chair at the helm::

XO_Eden says:
*EO*: Engineering, status report.

FCO_Elack says:
::sits down nervously, noticing the XO glancing at her::

EO_Chapu says:
Computer: Computer, run a level 3 diagnostic on the Main Sensor Array.  Settings 3, 4, 16, 24, & 41.

CSO_Shras says:
:: walking toward the TL from the forward torpedo bay ::

EO_Chapu says:
*XO*: The Main Sensor Array is being looked at, ma'am . . . . . .

EO_Chapu says:
<Computer>EO:  Working.

EO_Chapu says:
*XO*:  I have most of my staff working on the Main Sensor Array, while the other few are working on the minor systems, ma'am.

CIV_Modane says:
:: working at a station on the bridge ::

FCO_Elack says:
::nervously:: XO: Orders, ma'am?

CO_Tucker says:
XO: How long does he think it will take to get them back on-line?

EO_Chapu says:
:: The computer shows the results of the diagnostic ::

XO_Eden says:
FCO: Keep us where we are and monitor repairs to your systems.

CSO_Shras says:
:: enters the bridge and walks over to the science station ::

FCO_Elack says:
::timidly:: XO: Aye.

CO_Tucker says:
CSO: Did you get any telemetry from that probe?

XO_Eden says:
EO: Do you have a time frame on those repairs Mr. Chapu'?

XO_Eden says:
::Settles down into her chair::

FCO_Elack says:
::puts the repair status of the Flight controls and thrusters on her screen::

EO_Chapu says:
*XO*:  Comdr. Eden,  I would say that it'll take at least 2 hours for us to repair the Main Sensor Array alone.  The other systems will take roughly 45 minutes to 1.5 hours, ma'am.

CSO_Shras says:
CO: Looking at it sir!

CSO_Shras says:
:: attempting to connect to the probe ::

Host Bob says:
THE BLACKNESS THAT THE GENEVA HAS STUMBLED INTO SEEMS TO BE ENDLESS, WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE, UNLESS THE GENEVA IS NO LONGER IN THE MILKY WAY GALAXY

XO_Eden says:
*EO*: Acknowledged.  Keep me informed.

XO_Eden says:
CO: We're looking at about 2 to 3 hours sir.

EO_Chapu says:
Johnson: Johnson, compile 3 teams, you excluded, and have them go to the Main Sensor Array.

Host Bob says:
THE LAUNCHED PROBE MERELY CONFIRMS THAT THERE ARE NO SENSOR READINGS WITH THE RANGE OF THE PROBE

EO_Chapu says:
*XO*: Aye, ma'am.  Will do.

CIV_Modane says:
CO: Sir, level searched the whole database, there is no previous record of any vessel encountering this phenomenon

CO_Tucker says:
XO: Very well...

CSO_Shras says:
CO: I have a connection with the probe... nothing in sensor range!

CO_Tucker says:
CIV: Commander, that is interesting.

EO_Chapu says:
Johnson:  Have them start working on several different areas of the Array.  It seems that it has stress and a bit of overload in it.

EO_Chapu says:
<Johnson> EO:  And what should I do, sir?

CO_Tucker says:
CSO: what did you mean “nothing...” There has to be something.  Background radiation....  Something.

EO_Chapu says:
Johnson:  Co-ordinate with those teams, the teams on other systems, and myself while helping where you can

CSO_Shras says:
CO: The probe is reporting nothing on sensor range..... Checking sensor...... all operational

CNS_Landt says:
::decides to check out the new XO::  XO: I don't believe we've had the chance to meet.  I'm the ship's counselor, Lt. Landt.  How are you settling in to the Geneva?

CO_Tucker says:
CSO: Don't you find that unusual?

CMO_Tunik says:
::enters sickbay and sets his instruments where they need to be:: Dr. Edwards: Hello Doctor. I am Lieutenant Tunik. I will be the Chief Medical Officer.

CSO_Shras says:
CO: Not more unusual than the rest of this strange place....

CMO_Tunik says:
<Edwards> ::reaches hand out to shake:: CMO: It's a pleasure.

EO_Chapu says:
:: Johnson nods and walks off, doing what he has to do; meanwhile, he continues to start repairs from the Main Engineering ::

CO_Tucker says:
CSO: Is the probe functioning properly?

FCO_Elack says:
::meekly:: XO: Ma'am, I think I have a possibility of where we are...or rather, where we are NOT. I think we may have left the Milky Way Galaxy.

XO_Eden says:
CNS: Very well, considering the circumstances.  ::Lying through her teeth::

CMO_Tunik says:
::looks at the hand:: Dr. Edwards: Have you yet to determine how this phenomenon is affecting the crew?

CSO_Shras says:
CO: Self-diagnostics state so

CMO_Tunik says:
<Edwards> CMO: Not as of yet sir.

CMO_Tunik says:
::walks to sickbay exit:: Dr. Edwards: Start working on it. I will report to the captain.

CNS_Landt says:
XO:  ::sees that she is lying through her teeth::  I'm sure it is hard coming after Cmdr. Tran, but if you put your trust in the crew, they will eventually put their trust in you.

CO_Tucker says:
CSO: So if we are getting correct readings, which are nothing... that would be impossible, unless some major rules of physics have changed....

XO_Eden says:
FCO: Noted Ensign.  Any ideas about where we are?

EO_Chapu says:
:: bounces between the center consoles and the bulkheads close to them ::

FCO_Elack says:
XO: None, ma'am. The probe has not shown anything. And sensors are not functioning.

CMO_Tunik says:
::walks quickly to turbo lift with medical tricorder aimed at passing crew:: TB: Bridge.

XO_Eden says:
::Notes the very perceptive CNS::  CNS: Thank you Lieutenant... I'm sure... with time.  I'll have to schedule some time with you soon, in a more formal environment.

CNS_Landt says:
XO:  I would like to schedule you for an evaluation appointment.  Everyone is required to see me at least once when they start their duties and you're a little overdue.

XO_Eden says:
::Pauses:: FCO: Any guesses?  I'm open to any ideas.

CSO_Shras says:
CO: If we took the way into the anomaly and we are inside it or someplace it lead to then maybe it is possible....

CMO_Tunik says:
::exits turbo lift and walks to the Captain:: CO: Sir.

CO_Tucker says:
CSO: Either that, or something is interfering with our sensor readings....

XO_Eden says:
::Nods:: CNS: Of course...

CSO_Shras says:
CO: but then we should see something on visual....

EO_Chapu says:
*Computer*:  Computer, start a flow of power to the Main Sensor Array.  Start with a 5% flow.

FCO_Elack says:
XO: This could be a manufactured anomaly..... A science experiment of some sort. In that case, we could be in someone's very altered solar system.

CO_Tucker says:
CMO:  Yes... aah Dr. Tunik.  Sorry I haven't been able to welcome you aboard, but as you can see we are quite busy here.  Welcome Aboard.

EO_Chapu says:
:: The computer beeps and starts the flow;  he monitors the flow to see where it stops and where it goes ::

CMO_Tunik says:
CO: I understand sir. I will begin an analysis to determine what effects this phenomenon may have on the crew.

CO_Tucker says:
CMO: Good Idea Doctor.

CNS_Landt says:
XO:  I'll schedule you in and send you the time and your can send me a confirmation.  I'll get out of your way now so you can do your job.  ::returns to the unused console she was sitting at::

CMO_Tunik says:
CO: Am I, dismissed?

CO_Tucker says:
CSO: Perhaps something is actually masking our vision... Kinda like a cloaking device... it is just a thought though.  There are hundreds of other explanations for this too.... and none of them are probably the right ones....

FCO_Elack says:
::notices the CNS and hides her face, still ashamed of her mental breakdown a few weeks ago::

XO_Eden says:
::Manages a small smile:: CNS: Thank you very much Lieutenant.

CO_Tucker says:
CMO: Huh?  Oh yeah.... dismissed Dr.

CMO_Tunik says:
::turns to turbo lift, then notices the Counselor... walks to her:: CNS: Greetings Counselor. I am Lieutenant Tunik, the Chief Medical Officer. I will require your psychological opinion of how this may be affecting the crew. It may link to physical effects as well.

CSO_Shras says:
CO: We can make these kinds of speculations but if we always create some reason for us not to see the evidence then it is fruitless to do so....

EO_Chapu says:
:: takes notes of where the flow is stopping and reports it to the teams by the array ::

CSO_Shras says:
CO: We need proofs, hard facts even small ones....

EO_Chapu says:
*Computer*:  Computer, stop the flow of power to the Main Sensor Array.

CNS_Landt says:
::passes the FCO on her return and pats her on the back::  FCO:  Congratulations on your new position ensign.  I'm sure you'll do fine.

CO_Tucker says:
CSO: Just trying to eliminate some possibilities... we need more information.

CSO_Shras says:
CO: Thinking about an away team?

CO_Tucker says:
CSO:  No... Not yet anyway.

CMO_Tunik says:
::slightly frowns and proceeds to turbo lift::

CMO_Tunik says:
TB: Sickbay.

EO_Chapu says:
:: begins repairs on the problem areas, while bouncing between the screens ::

FCO_Elack says:
::blushes:: CNS: Thank you, ma'am.

XO_Eden says:
::pulls up the diagnostic progress on the nearby console::

CNS_Landt says:
::nods to the FCO and sits at the console to observe the crew::

CMO_Tunik says:
::exits turbo lift, enters sickbay, and does an analysis of tricorder readings of the crew:: Nurses: Take your medical tricorders, proceed throughout the ship, and get a bio scan from all except the bridge and engineering crew.

CO_Tucker says:
FCO:  Fire aft thrusters, half second burst.....  ::thinking of something::

FCO_Elack says:
CO: Yes sir. ::fires thrusters::

CO_Tucker says:
CSO: Did the ship move in relation to the probe?

CMO_Tunik says:
::looks at the medical records of the crew scanned, and the scans for critical differences::

EO_Chapu says:
:: finishes the repairs he could do and gets a report from the Array Teams that they have done their part for the moment ::

EO_Chapu says:
*Computer*:  Computer, start a flow of power to the Main Sensor Array.  Start with a 5% flow.

FCO_Elack says:
::hopes the CNS doesn't sense her  extreme nervousness about her new position, and having to report directly to the XO::

EO_Chapu says:
*Computer*:  :: notes that the 5% is working ::  Computer, increase the flow to 10%

CSO_Shras says:
CO: looking at it....

EO_Chapu says:
:: The increase is made, notes that everything is holding fine ::

EO_Chapu says:
*Computer*:  Computer, increase the flow to 20%

CNS_Landt says:
::wonders if she should schedule more appointments with Ens. Elack::

FCO_Elack says:
::Hopes with all of her heart that she will never have to go in the Counselor's Office again::

EO_Chapu says:
:: The increase is made, yet there are still problems;  notes that, from reports, the Array Teams are taking care of them::

EO_Chapu says:
*XO*:  Comdr. Eden, the Main Sensor Array is barely on-line.  We are still working out some bugs, ma'am.

XO_Eden says:
*EO*: Online enough to be functional?

EO_Chapu says:
:: checks the efficiency for the sensors ::

EO_Chapu says:
*XO* :  The sensors are about 5 - 10% functional, ma'am.  Not a whole lot to go on, but it's something, ma'am.

XO_Eden says:
*EO*: Good job Lieutenant, both you and your team.  Keep working on it.

CMO_Tunik says:
::exits sickbay and enters turbo lift:: Turbo lift: Main Engineering.

XO_Eden says:
CO: We have the main sensor array.

CO_Tucker says:
XO: Great....

CO_Tucker says:
CSO: Bring main sensors on line and tell me what you have....

CIV_Modane says:
:: puts on sensors on his console ::

EO_Chapu says:
:: gets a report from Johnson that the Array Teams have finished their repairs ::

CMO_Tunik says:
::exits turbo lift and enters Main Engineering, walks to the EO:: EO: Greetings.

CSO_Shras says:
:: taps the sensors toggle button to bring them back online ::

EO_Chapu says:
*Computer*:  Computer, increase the flow to 30%

CSO_Shras says:
CO: yep sir....

CMO_Tunik says:
EO: You have been very active, correct?

EO_Chapu says:
CMO:  :: glances over to the CMO and back to the screen ::  Greetings, Dr. Tunik.  Yes, Doctor.  Why do you ask?

CMO_Tunik says:
::takes out medical tricorder and begins to scan the EO:: EO: I need readings of the engineering crew. Your proximity to the warp core and your excessive working may differ your readings from the rest of the crew. It may be of some value.

EO_Chapu says:
:: notes the problems with the Array and begins the repairs ::

FCO_Elack says:
::Puts the current sensor readings on her screen to monitor them::

CMO_Tunik says:
::finishes medical scan of the EO:: EO: Thank you for your cooperation.

EO_Chapu says:
CMO:  :: continues on the repairs ::  No problem, Doctor. I hope it's very useful

CMO_Tunik says:
::begins to scan the remaining engineering crew::

EO_Chapu says:
CMO: :: finishes the repairs :: Oh, Doctor.  Please try not to get in anyone's way.  We are busy getting the Main Sensor Array repaired.

EO_Chapu says:
*Computer*:  Computer, increase the flow to 40%

CMO_Tunik says:
::finishes scans and enters turbo lift::

Host Bob says:
SUDDENLY, AS IF ON CUE.....   A WALL WHICH LOOKS SIMILAR TO A CHAIN LINK WALL APPEARS OFF THE STARBOARD SIDE OF THE SHIP.....

EO_Chapu says:
:: notes that the CMO leaves earlier than he expected;  continues to increase the power flow and doing the repairs ::

CO_Tucker says:
Self: What in the....

FCO_Elack says:
XO: Look!!

CSO_Shras says:
CO: We have something here, at last!

CIV_Modane says:
:: Looks at his screen :: Self: A wall

CO_Tucker says:
FCO: Evasive maneuvers, thrusters only.

CO_Tucker says:
CSO: What is it?

EO_Chapu says:
*XO*:  Commander, We have 25% efficiency of the Sensors.

CMO_Tunik says:
::enters sickbay and uploads the data from the engineering crew::

Host Bob says:
Q appears on the Bridge of the Geneva

CNS_Landt says:
::watches amazed as the wall appears::  ALL:  What is that?

FCO_Elack says:
ALL: Oh my lord...

CIV_Modane says:
:: Pulls out his phaser :: Self: Not again

CO_Tucker says:
Q: Q? What are you doing here?

XO_Eden says:
::Jolts out of her seat::

Q says:
CO: Ahhhh, Captain, enjoying my little game? ::smirks::

FCO_Elack says:
::sharpens her claws on her teeth and stares at Q with fire in her eyes::

CO_Tucker says:
Q: No, I am not.

Q says:
::walks around the bridge nodding::

XO_Eden says:
Q: Did you bring us here?

FCO_Elack says:
::bares her teeth at Q::

CMO_Tunik says:
Computer: Precede with differentially scan of the medical records of the scanned individuals, and the present scans. Look for critical differences which may be caused by the phenomenon. Provide me with any estimation.

Q says:
::moves to the CO:: CO: Come now Captain, you must admit I have you all stumped.

FCO_Elack says:
::makes a low growl, and restrains herself from leaping at Q, only because she knows that it will do no good::

CSO_Shras says:
:: looks at the Q and decides to just sit down until it has finished its game ::

Q says:
::turns to the XO: XO: Ah, a lovely creature you are. Such curiosity my dear.

CMO_Tunik says:
Computer: Inform me when you full analysis is complete. 

CMO_Tunik says:
Dr. Edwards: Upload data from the nurses’ medical tricorders as they return.

EO_Chapu says:
:: gets the power supply all the way up to 75% ::

CO_Tucker says:
::Condescendingly:: Q: Yes you did.... all stumped.  Game over.  Now let us out of here, and get off my ship.

Q says:
CO: Not so fast Captain. I am not finished with this new toy of mine.

XO_Eden says:
::Makes certain to examine what she can of this experience with Q::

Q says:
::walks over to the view screen and stands in front of it::

FCO_Elack says:
::Can not help from making low growling noises::

CIV_Modane says:
:: turns to his station ::

CO_Tucker says:
Q: We are not your playthings.... this game is over.

CMO_Tunik says:
::enters turbo lift::

Q says:
CO: My, my, Captain, you are an angry little man aren't you?

Host Q_Squared says:
Q: Q, enough of this nonsense... you must leave the humans alone; they are Q's toys..... Not yours

CMO_Tunik says:
::enters bridge with PADD of recent scans of the crew::

CNS_Landt says:
Q:  We are no one's toys!

CO_Tucker says:
Self:  Oh no....

XO_Eden says:
::Listens to the funny omnipotent beings, quite confused, but finding it all fascinating::

Q says:
QS: Ahh, but Q, I was just having a little fun.

EO_Chapu says:
:: continues the repairs at the 75% power flow ::

CMO_Tunik says:
::raises an eyebrow at... Q and QS::

Host Q_Squared says:
CO: Captain, I must apologize for my friend Q here... we just realized he was playing with Q's toys... and I was sent by the Continuum to tell Q to stop...

Q says:
::pounds the nearest console:: QS: You always spoil my fun. ::sulks::

FCO_Elack says:
Q_Squared: We will not be made fools of by anyone!

Host Q_Squared says:
CO: The Q know you are on a most important mission (oozing with sarcasm), and who is Q to interfere with that?

CO_Tucker says:
QS:  Look, I don't know nor do I care what you are talking about.  I just want my ship back to where and when it belongs.

CMO_Tunik says:
::notices the FCO's outburst... it is illogical to yell at a being far superior::

Host Q_Squared says:
Q: Okay Q, back to the Continuum with you...... ::snaps fingers and both Q disappear::

Q says:
::moves closer to Q_Squared::

XO_Eden says:
::Glances at the FCO with a look that says to stand down::

FCO_Elack says:
::Has very primal instincts, and hopes that the CMO has read about the side effects of her cerebral dysfunction::

Host Q_Squared says:
%CO: Oh, and Captain, no need to thank me........ ::said from the Continuum::.....    I'll make the bubble go away now....

EO_Chapu says:
:: Just can seem to get the repairs done here ::

Q says:
::peeks back in:: XO: I'll be back for you my dear...

CO_Tucker says:
Q: No need to worry....

Host Q_Squared says:
ALMOST AS SUDDENLY AS THE BLACK BUBBLE APPEARED, IT DISAPPEARS.... AND WITH NO MUCH EXPLANATION FOR IT AS WAS APPARENT BEFORE...

XO_Eden says:
Q: Now just what does that mean?  ::Stops, seeing they're gone::

CMO_Tunik says:
::sees both of the Q leave and walks to the CO:: CO: Captain, I was going to provide you with a brief report of my findings. However, I do not find them necessary anymore.

CIV_Modane says:
CO: we are free

CSO_Shras says:
:: looks at the sensor readings returning to normal ::
