::Scans for signs of the Cassiopeia.....for life signs.....for any traces of what might have happened::
Host CO_Cutter says:
*COMM*  Attention all hands... this is the Captain
CEO_Michaels says:
EO: Only that it's going to mess with systems and we'll be expected to make them work.
CMO_Roxton says:
::Hears the CO and mumbles::  MO: Does your husband always talk this much?
FCO_Knight says:
::Looks over console:: XO: 8 minutes, sir.
EO_Davidson says:
::Throws hands up in the air:: CEO: Figures
MO_Cutter says:
::Looks at the CMO and laughs:: CMO: You have no idea...
Host CO_Cutter says:
*COMM*  As you know, the Hayden is currently in rout to the Madtion / Leopold nebulae located within the Eraw System in order to investigate the loss of contact with the USS Cassiopeia.
CEO_Michaels says:
::Looks over some PADDs on his desk as he stops to listen to the Captain::
Host XO_Spear says:
::Nods in the direction of the FCO::
Host CO_Cutter says:
*COMM* The USS Cassiopeia (NCC 50102) was studying the collision of the Madtion / Leopold nebulae at one of their many joint intersections, within the ancient Eraw Star System [which was between the nebulae and has been since consumed].
CMO_Roxton says:
::Starts to comment then thinks better of it::
FCO_Knight says:
::Monitors the ship's attitude and makes sure that she stays steady::
Host CO_Cutter says:
*COMM*  Be advised, the USS Scimitar is investigating the loss of contact with the USS Ottawa, while the USS Elara is investigating the Madtion / Leopold nebulae itself. They are also operating in the area.
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Listens intently::
CSO_Spear says:
CO/FCO: I suggest we stay away from the center of the two nebulas......There used to be a black hole there.....Might not be good to get TOO close.
MO_Cutter says:
::Listens::
Host CO_Cutter says:
*COMM*  Everybody is going to need to be at their best for this one.  Cutter out.
EO_Davidson says:
::Pulls up anything on the USS Cassiopeia::
MO_Cutter says:
::Thought she was always at her best and then smirks to herself::
CEO_Michaels says:
EO: You know what I miss about being on the bridge...the gossip; it's too quiet down here.
Host CO_Cutter says:
CSO:  Good point.
CMO_Roxton says:
::Eyes the MO oddly and then turns to glare some more at the nurses::
FCO_Knight says:
CSO: No worries, Commander.
EO_Davidson says:
CEO:I am sure we can gossip about something...what you have in mind.
Host CO_Cutter says:
FCO:  Keep that in mind Othello... scan for any black holes as we close
CEO_Michaels says:
::Checks the engine readings and makes sure everything is up to specs::
MO_Cutter says:

Host XO_Spear says:
::Walks over to a consol and pulls up the details of the Cassiopeia::

EO: Oh no, I don't mean gossip ourselves, I'm not into that, but it's sure fun to listen in on other people.  ::Grins::
MO_Cutter says:
::Suddenly hit with the craving for chocolate::
FCO_Knight says:
CO: Aye.
EO_Davidson says:
CEO: Sir, I have been pulling up information on the Ship were looking for. It was a science vessel, when it disappeared it had a full crew complement.
CSO_Spear says:
CO: Sir.... I’m not picking anything on the Cassiopeia on sensors.  There's just a lot of local "soup" from the Nebulas.
Host CO_Cutter says:
FCO:  ETA?
EO_Davidson says:
CEO:Aye.... that it is fun to listen.
CMO_Roxton says:
MO: I'm going to the bridge.  I'm sure I'll be needed up there shortly.  ::Grins::
Host CO_Cutter says:
CSO:  Acknowledged
CMO_Roxton says:
MO: See if you can get those lazy nurses in the corner to accomplish something useful for once.
CNS_Hills says:
::Walks over to the Captain and whispers::  CO:  I don't need to be a Betaziod to feel the tension you have, is everything all right?
CEO_Michaels says:
EO: How many hands?
EO_Davidson says:
::Checks::
FCO_Knight says:
CO: 3 minutes. And closin' Cap'n.
MO_Cutter says:
::Nods and smiles, silently wondering if she could find that stash....::  CMO: er.. Of course.  Will do.  Aye aye and all that
Host CO_Cutter says:
CNS:  I think so Counselor.  There are simply a lot of lives at stake here.
CMO_Roxton says:
::Nods and walks out, then pauses by the doors::  MO: No..  ::Exits for the bridge::
EO_Davidson says:
CEO: All 78 people....
CSO_Spear says:
::Tries to clear up some of the distortions on her sensors::
MO_Cutter says:
::Innocent look thing and then grins when he's gone::
Host CO_Cutter says:
CTO:  Any indication of other ships?
CNS_Hills says:
CO:  Understandable.
MO_Cutter says:
Self: Damn.  This betazoid boss thing is tough!
CTO_Kostandinos says:
CO: Negative sir, I'll let you know if they enter though
Host XO_Spear says:
CSO: Christine, try scanning it in smaller sections. Break it down, starting with the last known coordinates of the ship.
Host Klord says:
Action: the Hayden arrives on station
Host CO_Cutter says:
CSO:  Prepare a class 1 probe and launch it at the last reported position of the Cassiopia.
CEO_Michaels says:
EO: Mmm..Let's hope we don't run into the same thing that made them disappear.  See what you can do about finding out the circumstances of the loss in contact, research the nebula and the Casseopia, see if you can find some correlation.
Host CO_Cutter says:
FCO:  Begin a standard search pattern.
CMO_Roxton says:
::Strides out of the turbolift onto the bridge and stands near the back watching the bridge crew::
CSO_Spear says:
CO/XO: Aye, Sirs...
MO_Cutter says:
::Nods at the nurses who get off their collective butts and start working.  Wonder why they never seem to do what he wants..::
FCO_Knight says:
CO/XO: Aye, standard search pattern at 1/2 impulse.
CSO_Spear says:
::Prepares the probe to launch on the CO's orders.......and starts retracing from the Cassiopeia's last known coordinates::
Host CO_Cutter says:
CSO:  Sensors on full Chris
EO_Davidson says:
CEO: Aye...shall I stay here or go use the station on the bridge?
CSO_Spear says:
CO: I only have about 10% sensors, Sir...It's the nebula
CEO_Michaels says:
::Walks over to Long-range sensor controls and notes the 90% downgrade due to gravimetric distortions::  Self: Yeah, and they're probably going to ask for them too.  ::Shakes his head::
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Monitors sensors for other ships while running diagnostics on their shields and weapon systems... just in case...::
Host CO_Cutter says:
XO:  You see anything I'm missing here; I'm WAY open to suggestions.
CEO_Michaels says:
EO: Stick around here, if something comes up, I could use all the Engineers I've got.
MO_Cutter says:
::checks in on a few patients, idly checking for the secret chocolate stash as she goes.. Its more routine than anything by now::
Host CO_Cutter says:
CSO:  Acknowledged
FCO_Knight says:
::Instructs the Hayden to carefully patrol the last known area of the Cassiopeia::
EO_Davidson says:
CEO:Aye
Host CO_Cutter says:
CMO:  Let me know if you sense anything
Host XO_Spear says:
CO: It's nearly impossible without the use of our sensors. I'd say we need engineering to carry out Any kind of modification that will help
EO_Davidson says:
*CSO*Ma'am any science readings you get can you relay it down here to my console?
Host CO_Cutter says:
*MO*  Find the chocolate yet hun?
CSO_Spear says:
CO: Sir.....I'm picking up traces of Boronite in the Leopold nebula......In science terms, that's QUITE an anomaly.
Host CO_Cutter says:
CSO:  What would cause that?
CSO_Spear says:
*EO*: Well if you clear up my sensors, I'll be glad to share what I get with you.
Host CO_Cutter says:
XO:  Kiefer... get them working on it.
MO_Cutter says:
*CO* No.. ::Answers automatically and that catches herself:: er... not that I'm looking.  That would be wrong.  I'm working.  Yup.. Just working...
CMO_Roxton says:
CO: Aye Captain..  ::Walks over to a vacant mission operations console and sits down, trying to sense anything or anyone::
CSO_Spear says:
CO: I have no idea, Sir.....Boronite is a naturally occurring compound, but it's rare and isn't usually found in a nebula, Sir.
EO_Davidson says:
*CSO*:Aye...we'll try.
Host XO_Spear says:
CO: Aye Captain
EO_Davidson says:
CEO: seems you were right sir.... They want them boosted.
Host CO_Cutter says:
*MO*  Yeah... that's it.   Working....  we'll talk about the punishment for lying tonight.  ::Grins::
Host CO_Cutter says:
CSO:  Feed those coordinates to the helm
CSO_Spear says:
CO: Actually, Sir...I'm starting to pick up more than traces...I'm picking up highly concentrated pockets of the element.
Host XO_Spear says:
*EO/CEO*: Hey guys, I've got a project for you, see what you can do to clear up the sensor pallets, we're getting almost nothing up here
Host CO_Cutter says:
FCO:  Break from the search pattern and head to our CSO's Boronite.
CEO_Michaels says:
EO: They're getting close to this week's miracle quota.
CSO_Spear says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  Feeding coordinates, now...Sends the coordinates to the FCO::
MO_Cutter says:
::Smirks:: *CO* Punishment huh?  I look forward to it...  and you had better damn well NOT have me over the bridge wide comm again!
CNS_Hills says:
::Stays out of the way until needed::
CEO_Michaels says:
::Hopes the XO didn't overhear that::  *XO*: On it sir.
CMO_Roxton says:
::Gives up::  CO: Nothing Captain..  Least.  Nothing worth reporting.  ::Winks knowingly to the CO::
EO_Davidson says:
::stands and turns to the CEO and laughs:: CEO: I just got an idea on how to possibly boost sensors some what.
Host CO_Cutter says:
*MO* ::snickers::  Moi?  They're laughing at the nebula... yeah... the nebula.
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Finishes her diagnostics and continues to monitor for other ships:
CEO_Michaels says:
EO: I'm all ears.
Host XO_Spear says:
::clears his throat::*CEO*: I'm afraid we'll need one more miracle this week.  ::Grins::
Host CO_Cutter says:
CMO:  Okay...  stay up here... with our sensors down, you may be our first indication of contact.
MO_Cutter says:
*CO* You are so toast Mr. I think I'm funny boss man type.
Host CO_Cutter says:
*MO*  Noted Doctor.   ::Laughs::
FCO_Knight says:
::Orders the ship to stop and redirects it via the coordinates:: CO: Aye. Course laid in and we are on our way.
CMO_Roxton says:
CO: Hopefully I can give you some advance warning...
CEO_Michaels says:
::Cringes at the XO's comment::
Host CO_Cutter says:
FCO:  Very well
MO_Cutter says:
::Laughs and goes back to work.  She had to admit though, being married to the boss sure had its advantages..::
CSO_Spear says:
::Concentrates her scans on the pockets of Boronite.....trying to figure out the potential reasons for the compound here::
Host CO_Cutter says:
CMO:  I hope so too, Steve
Host XO_Spear says:
FCO: Can we effectively navigate the Nebula?
EO_Davidson says:
CEO: What if we Launched a shuttle.... took it out front of the ship to the edge of our sensor range.... established a link with the shuttle. That could boost them some...may not be much but it could do till we figure something else out. ::Waits for a response::
EO_Davidson says:
CEO: Or we could deploy a series of probes and link them all together.
FCO_Knight says:
XO: Not with much accuracy. The Gravimetric distortions'll make this a little rough. Could mean that a black hole may be near here. I'll engage only if you really want to.
Host CO_Cutter says:
FCO:  Let's see where we're going... on screen.
CEO_Michaels says:
EO: Unfortunately, the shuttle would experience the same sensor degradation, and the distance between the Hayden and the shuttle would negate any advantage due to signal degradation.  We'll have to see what we can do from here.
FCO_Knight says:
:Taps the main screen controls and brings up the image::
EO_Davidson says:
CEO: Can we not modify the shuttle some how?
Host XO_Spear says:
FCO: Understood, try to come up with a plan to get through it should the need arise.
Host Klord says:
Action: swirls of color and blackness fill the screen
CNS_Hills says:
::Sees the image appear on the main screen and is in awe of the colors::
MO_Cutter says:
::Peeks into the hidden drawer inside the farthest cabinet under the last biobed for even the smallest amount of chocolate::
Host XO_Spear says:
CNS: What is your impression? ::Admires the screen::
CSO_Spear says:
::Doesn't even take time to look up from her sensors to see the screen::
CEO_Michaels says:
EO: We'd be better off trying to modify the main deflector.  That's got more power than any shuttle.  ::Heads over to the main sensor controls and begins to look for enhancements::
MO_Cutter says:
::Does a little happy dance in the middle of sickbay:: Self: JACKPOT!! ::Sees how much is there::
CMO_Roxton says:
:Eyes the view screen..  Well, better than normal space I guess..::
FCO_Knight says:
XO: I could fly this thin' blind, but I'm gonna keep m' eyes open for this voyage.
CNS_Hills says:
XO:  Well, the colors are magnificent, anything beyond that, it’s beyond me.
MO_Cutter says:
::Pops the one piece into her mouth and mumbles:: Self: That’s it?  That meanie!
Host CO_Cutter says:
::Smiles thinking of his chocolate deprived wife and punches up a scan for chocolate onboard... feeds the results to the MO's screen in sickbay::
CMO_Roxton says:
::Eyes the message from a member of his staff and smiles::  *MO* Congratulations.
Host XO_Spear says:
FCO: Wise move. ::Stoic::
MO_Cutter says:
::Bumps her head on the underside of the biobed as she scours for more:: OUCH!  *CMO* Ugh.. huh?  I'm sorry sir; I don't know what you're talking about
FCO_Knight says:
XO: My dad always thought so, too.
EO_Davidson says:
CEO:I think we are onto something sir. If we tie the main sensor net into the Deflector dish and send out a pulse maybe that may cut through. We can turn the deflector dish into old earth style radar.
CSO_Spear says:
CO: Um...Sir...I'm getting some really strange readings from the vicinity of the black hole...It's almost unexplainable energy...I can't describe it.
MO_Cutter says:
::Notices the message flashing on her computer terminal and opens it - gibberish?  And it had chocolate as the Subject line...::
CMO_Roxton says:
*CMO* So tell me..  Was it as good as the larger chunk you got the first time?
FCO_Knight says:
::Remains jovial despite his crewmates and sees humor in everything, especially when danger looms in his head::
MO_Cutter says:
::Sighs to herself::
Host CO_Cutter says:
CSO:  Gonna need a little more than that.
CSO_Spear says:
CO: I wish I could give you more, Sir.....but with 10% sensors.....about all I can tell you is that I'm getting energy readings off the roof.
Host CO_Cutter says:
FCO:  How close are we to the black hole event horizon?
MO_Cutter says:
::Wipes the evidence from her hands:: *CMO* Almost.. I mean... I still don't know what you're talking about. ::Damn!::
CTO_Kostandinos says:
CO: Sir, I'm reading signs of the Elara's presence, but with the nebula's interference I can't get a good fix.
EO_Davidson says:
CEO:I have been studying some old earth wars. Some things called Submarines used something called sonar to detect enemy ships. It worked well.
Host CO_Cutter says:
CTO:  Any idea of bearing?
CMO_Roxton says:
*MO* Nonetheless...  Increase sickbay efficiency by 30% and you can have another nice sized block of it, courtesy of your grateful boss.  Deal?
CEO_Michaels says:
EO: Give it a try.
Host XO_Spear says:
CO: That is consistent with a black hole...CSO: Anything more specific at all? Possibility of Non gravimetric energies?
FCO_Knight says:
CO: I guess a few million kilometers, judgin' from the telemetry I'm gettin' from the navigational scanners.
EO_Davidson says:
CEO:I am going to have to go to deflector control and do the modifications there.
CEO_Michaels says:
EO: Go ahead, I'll monitor the situation here, and get you the bypasses you need.
MO_Cutter says:
*CMO* Done!  Have it delivered tonight and make sure Jason doesn't get into it first! ::Grins, anticipating the chocolate already.  Working for food bribes?  Whatever works!::
Host CO_Cutter says:
FCO:  And your best guess as to how close we can get safely?
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Tries recalibrating the sensors, but to no luck:: CO: No sir, not with the interference I'm getting
MO_Cutter says:
::Starts riding the nurses about slacking::
FCO_Knight says:
CO: Suggest we slow to 1/4 impulse, just to be on th' safe side.
CSO_Spear says:
XO: These are non-gravimetric energy particles, Sir...They have nothing to do with the black hole...They may be associated with the Boronite, but that's inconclusive.
CMO_Roxton says:
*MO* I'll personally deliver it myself so keep the good Captain from touching it.  Roxton out.
Host CO_Cutter says:
::Glances over his shoulder::  CMO:  Traitor
CMO_Roxton says:
::Plays a hunch and figures it's worth a try..  Begins telepathically probing the energy thing::
MO_Cutter says:
Johnston: Pick up the pace!  Laurence: Get off that stool and get working!
Host XO_Spear says:
CSO: Understood
EO_Davidson says:
CEO:I would tell the captain and the commander while I am working...so they know we didn't forget about them up there ::grabs tool kit and heads for deflector control::
CMO_Roxton says:
::Eyes the CO and shakes his head::  CO: Nah..  Just doing whatever it takes to make my sickbay on your ship the most efficient in the fleet.
FCO_Knight says:
CO: We can get to around 500km of the thing, but we'll be shakin' like an ol' friggate.
CSO_Spear says:
::Her fingers finally feeling more at home on this console than before::
Host CO_Cutter says:
FCO:  Begin moving toward the event horizon...  1/4 impulse.  Don't go closer than 1500 km without my orders
MO_Cutter says:
::Grins at the Nurses who overheard the CMO:: Sickbay Staff: Come on gang, I *need* your help here!  Besides, I think it really burns the CMO that you work when he's not here but ignore him and sit around, etc when he is.  It's amusing to say the least!
Host CO_Cutter says:
CTO:  Monitor your sensors... let me know if the signals get stronger or weaker as we move toward the black hole.
FCO_Knight says:
CO: Aye. Ahead, 1/4 impulse.
CMO_Roxton says:
::Stops actively probing::  CO: Nothing of interest yet Captain..  I'll keep trying though.
CTO_Kostandinos says:
CO: Aye
Host CO_Cutter says:
CMO:  Understood
CEO_Michaels says:
::Shakes his head but says nothing as he begins fiddling with the sensor controls, bypassing the appropriate data shunts so as to allow free connections to be made to the main deflector::
MO_Cutter says:
::Winks and grins as they all grin back and start working harder than before::
Host XO_Spear says:
::Moves to SCI:: <w>CSO: No need for the formalities. They all know we're married. ::Smiles at her::
MO_Cutter says:
Self: Oh yeah. That chocolate is soooooo mine!
EO_Davidson says:
::Gets to deflector control:: Self: Okay.....lets see here ::opens up a panel:: 
Host CO_Cutter says:
CSO:  Keep your scans up also... I'm still looking for a reason you're picking up Boronite.
FCO_Knight says:
CO: Will reach 1500km in two minutes.
CSO_Spear says:
CO: Aye, Sir...
Host CO_Cutter says:
FCO:  Understood.  Hold position there.
EO_Davidson says:
*CEO*Davidson to Engineering.... It shouldn't take long down here. After I am done here, I am going to have to go to the bridge and check it from the Engineering station there.
MO_Cutter says:
::Does a little end zone dance in the middle of sickbay, much to the amusement of the rest of the staff::
Host Klord says:
Action: the MO trips over one of her staff in her haste and lands on her.... rump
CSO_Spear says:
XO: <w> It's just more bein' in serious work mode...Ah mean nothin' by it, Luv.
MO_Cutter says:
ACK! ::Gets up, blushing, and dusts herself off::
MO_Cutter says:
::Takes a bow as her staff laughs::
CEO_Michaels says:
*EO*: All right, just make sure you don't overload the dish, it's not use to having this much of the sensor grid attached.
Host XO_Spear says:
::Amused:: CSO: Yes dear:: Moves back to the center::
Host Klord says:
Action: the MO hits her head on a desk when she bows
CSO_Spear says:
::Glares at her husband momentarily....then turns back to her console::
EO_Davidson says:
*CEO*:Aye...::gets zapped:: DAMN! I will try not to.
CTO_Kostandinos says:
CO: I'm getting more glimpses of the Elara... I have a tentative fix on them but with the interference it's not very accurate ::bends over console to try and get a better picture::
CMO_Roxton says:
::Tries to sense the elara crew telepathically::
EO_Davidson says:
Self: Guess it's not that one.
MO_Cutter says:
::Pretty sure the Universe is against her now but just kinda grins and shrugs, rubbing her owie::
CEO_Michaels says:
::Looks up at the ceiling::  Self: What did I do to deserve this, I thought I was a good pilot.  ::Shakes his head and monitors the sensor modifications::
Host CO_Cutter says:
::Getting frustrated::  CSO/CTO/XO:  Would SOMEONE give me something definitive to go on???  Please???
CSO_Spear says:
CO: Sir...the black hole seems to be pulling in the nebulas...and everything inside....
CSO_Spear says:
CO: I dunna think we should get much closer, Sir.
FCO_Knight says:
::Holds ship at 1500km::
Host CO_Cutter says:
CSO:  Understood
Host CO_Cutter says:
FCO:  Are you able to hold position?
EO_Davidson says:
::Attaches the last hook up::*CEO*:Sir I am done down here.... I am heading for the bridge.
FCO_Knight says:
CO: No worries.
CEO_Michaels says:
*CO*: You should have slightly improved sensor resolution in a few moments.  Lt. Davidson will be joining you to run the modifications and monitor the sensor grid's status from there.
EO_Davidson says:
::Enters TL and heads for bridge::
Host XO_Spear says:
CO: We've got high concentrations of boronite, a black hole, and a ship that’s barley readable on sensors. ::Grim::
Host CO_Cutter says:
*CEO*  Excellent.  Have the LT coordinate with the CSO.
CSO_Spear says:
CO: Sir...Ah'm gettin' high levels of gravametic particles on us...
FCO_Knight says:
CO: Scratch that... ::Increases reverse thrust to compensate for the gravimetric pulls::
FCO_Knight says:
CO: ...A few worries.
CEO_Michaels says:
*EO*: Make sure Science knows what we've done and how to use the modifications.
EO_Davidson says:
::Enters Bridge:: CO: I hear you are having vision problems? *CEO*:Aye sir
Host CO_Cutter says:
FCO:  Are we stable?
MO_Cutter says:
::Smiles as the attitude in sickbay seems to be a relatively relaxed, happy one as everyone works at top efficiency::
TO_Sharpe says:
::Walks onto the bridge Bleary eyed::
TO_Sharpe says:
CTO: Ensign Sharpe reporting. ::Snaps to attention::
CSO_Spear says:
CO: Sir...Ah'm gettin' better readin's now...The energy is being generated by the boronite entering the black hole.
Host CO_Cutter says:
CSO:  Where is the boronite coming from?
CNS_Hills says:
::Sees the TO arrive::  TO:  Stayed up too late last night?
FCO_Knight says:
CO: We're being pulled in a bit. I've increased the reverse thrust to get us stable as yet, sir.
CMO_Roxton says:
::eyes the reconfigured console::  *MO* Not bad..  10% increase..  20% left to go..  Good luck.
CSO_Spear says:
CO: From the Leopold nebula, Sir
Host CO_Cutter says:
FCO:  Percent of power use?
TO_Sharpe says:
::Looks over at the CNS:: CNS: yes ma'am something like that
MO_Cutter says:
::Thinks 10% my ass!  That Scrooge can't count!::
Host CO_Cutter says:
::sighs... patience is going fast::  CSO:  From WHAT or WHERE in the nebula Chris?
FCO_Knight says:
CO: 90%
CMO_Roxton says:
::Coughs over the open comm channel::
CNS_Hills says:
::Just smiles at the TO::
Host CO_Cutter says:
FCO:  Back us off till you can hold with 75%
EO_Davidson says:
CSO: The modifications I made may be able to help Ma'am.
CTO_Kostandinos says:
TO: Glad you could join us, Patrick.  Lt. Davidson is attempting to get us more sensor power, see if he can show you what he's doing so we know how to use it.
MO_Cutter says:
::Looks at the staff as they overhear that and sees them work to increase the level - now it's personal to them::
FCO_Knight says:
CO: Workin' on it...
CSO_Spear says:
CO: Almost like it's creating fusion...It's a naturally occurring element, Sir.... There is no "source" of it.... and it permeates the entire nebula in pockets.
MO_Cutter says:
*CMO* I'd say your numbers are off, but thanks for noticing
TO_Sharpe says:
CTO: aye ma'am, where is he?
MO_Cutter says:
::Nods at the staff and gets back to work herself::
Host CO_Cutter says:
::Startled::  CSO:  Creating fusion?
FCO_Knight says:
::Quickly taps in commands to the CONN. Faster than he has before on any other console::
CMO_Roxton says:
*MO* Nice try, but they come directly from the computer sensors in sickbay and are based on a comparison to previous best numbers.  Improvement is good though.
Host CO_Cutter says:
CTO:  What's the bearing to the Elara
CSO_Spear says:
CO: Aye...like something in the black hole combining with the boronite is creating fusion.
CTO_Kostandinos says:
CO: 825.78 mark 125, sir
Host CO_Cutter says:
CSO:  Launch a probe into the black hole... have it send data as long as it can.
TO_Sharpe says:
::Looks over:: CTO: Oh there he is...Sorry
CSO_Spear says:
CO: Aye...Launching probe.
FCO_Knight says:
Hayden: ::whispering:: Back outta there, love. Be a good girl and back outta there.
MO_Cutter says:
*CMO* You said nothing about best numbers, sir.  You said improve it from where it was... as in where it was when you asked for the increase.  At least, that’s how we. I mean...I took your statement
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Thanks her stars that she could gather that much, seeing as how her CO;s patience is rapidly fading::
CNS_Hills says:
::Just realized that the EO is on the bridge and she smiles at him::
CSO_Spear says:
EO: Ah'm usin' them...Thank ya fer yer help.
Host XO_Spear says:
::wonders about the boronite, and the possible energies it could harness::
CMO_Roxton says:
*MO* Why strive for anything but the best?  ::Grins to himself::
EO_Davidson says:
CSO: Shall I show you the sensor modifications...there's an added bonus.
CSO_Spear says:
EO: As long as ya dunna get in my way.....
TO_Sharpe says:
:;Walks over to the EO: EO: sahr, Commander Kostandin'as said I should talk to ya about the sensors?
MO_Cutter says:
::Frowns at the padd in front of her, idly tucks her hair behind her ears:: *CMO* Changing the rules?  That’s fine sir.  This group of medical personnel can handle it...
EO_Davidson says:
CSO:Aye....If you send out a low power sound wave and have it bounce off something you could get a location.
CTO_Kostandinos says:
CO: It's slightly below and to the port side of the black hole, sir
CSO_Spear says:
EO: Ah kin do that anyway...its called sonar.
MO_Cutter says:
::Looks up for a second to smile at the nurses closest to her as they then all focus their attentions back to the tasks in front of them::
Host CO_Cutter says:
FCO:  Can you close on the Elara without getting too close to the black hole?
CMO_Roxton says:
*MO* Good to hear.  I have ever confidence in you.  ::And your desire to get my chocolate::
EO_Davidson says:
CSO: Aye.... but its a little more powerful.... so don’t overload the deflector dish. 
EO_Davidson says:
::Turns to the TO:: TO: Sorry Sharpe...What was that?
Host CO_Cutter says:
CSO:  Are you reading any life signs on the Elara?
CSO_Spear says:
EO: Thank ya fer yer assistance....
FCO_Knight says:
CO: I can cut it quite close. Gettin' closer to it won't have anythin' t' do wit' me.
MO_Cutter says:
*CMO* That’s nice to know, Sir. ::Knows that’s really her desire for the chocolate and the med staff's desire to show him up that is going to get the job done::
EO_Davidson says:
::Nods at the CSO::
CSO_Spear says:
CO: Checkin' now...
Host CO_Cutter says:
CTO:  Hail the Elara
CTO_Kostandinos says:
CO: Aye, opening hailing frequencies
TO_Sharpe says:
EO: Commander Kostandin'as said to speak wit' ye about the Sensors
CSO_Spear says:
CO: Aye.... Ah am, but its nay clear as ta the number of life signs, Sir.
CEO_Michaels says:
::Walks over to the master situation monitor which has a red blinkie on it and frowns at the strain on the engines the black hole is putting on them::
CTO_Kostandinos says:
CO: No response sir, should I keep trying?
EO_Davidson says:
TO: Ah yes. She has access to the same sensor modifications as the CSO does. Have you ever heard of something called Sonar?
Host CO_Cutter says:
CTO:  Negative
CMO_Roxton says:
::No response?  Odd...  tries telepathically sensing the crew of the Elara, or if they even are on the ship::
Host CO_Cutter says:
FCO:  Resume the search pattern
Host CO_Cutter says:
CSO:  Anything from the probe?
TO_Sharpe says:
EO: some sorta Primitive sensors developed durin tha mid 20th century
CMO_Roxton says:
CO: They are on the ship sir, I can sense that much...  but I can't actually communicate with them.  Beyond the scope of my abilities.
Host CO_Cutter says:
CMO:  Very well Steve... we're going to assume they're okay and move on with our mission.
FCO_Knight says:
CO: Aye. ::Feeling a sense of missed out adventure, he sighs and reluctantly complies::
EO_Davidson says:
TO: Right.... I have done the same thing here. I have tied the main sensor grid into the main deflector and turned the deflector into one big sonar dish.
CSO_Spear says:
CO: Sir... Fusion reaction is increasin'.....It's growin' rapidly....Nay dangerous yet, but it mayna be long, Sir.
Host CO_Cutter says:
CTO:  Yellow alert
TO_Sharpe says:
EO: alrigh' So how'da we use it?
CSO_Spear says:
CO: No results on the probe.  It's almost like it's nay transmittin'.
CMO_Roxton says:
::Nods and smiles::  CO: They don't seem to be in harm or danger Captain..  Least not that I can tell.
Host CO_Cutter says:
CSO:  Keep an eye on it Chris
CTO_Kostandinos says:
CO: Aye sir ::sounds yellow alert claxons::
CSO_Spear says:
CO: Ah promise, Sir.
Host CO_Cutter says:
::Nods at the CMO::
Host CO_Cutter says:
CTO:  Raise shields
MO_Cutter says:
::Hears the yellow alert and nods at the staff to keep going::
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Taps:: CO: Done
Host Klord  (Yellow Alert.wav)
CEO_Michaels says:
::Frowns at the yellow flashies and checks power distribution as the shields go up::
CMO_Roxton says:
*MO* Keep on your toes.  I'm going to remain on the bridge so we have a medical presence up here.
CNS_Hills says:
::Hears the yellow alert klaxons go off and become more alert::
MO_Cutter says:
*CMO* Understood.
EO_Davidson says:
TO: Come on over.... I shall show you both. ::Walks to the Tactical Station:: CTO: Hey....heard you are having vision problems
CMO_Roxton says:
::Reconfigures the station to continually display feeds from the sickbay sensors and status computers::
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::After a few minutes of noise shuts the klaxon part off but keeps the ship at yellow alert, using the flashers in the decks and corridors to remind everyone::
MO_Cutter says:
Med Staff: You heard the man.  Be ready folks.  You never know when those gunkies upstairs are going to start crashing into things or breaking themselves and need us to put them back together again.
TO_Sharpe says:
::Follows the EO::
CTO_Kostandinos says:
EO: Yes
CEO_Michaels says:
::Finds himself getting a headache from the constant drone of the warp core::  Self: How do they ever get used to that?
FCO_Knight says:
Self: ::Loud enough for the Bridge to hear:: This is th' part where we all get rattled 'bout like a phaser ricochet.
EO_Davidson says:
CTO:As I was telling the TO. Have you ever heard of something called sonar?
Host Klord says:
Action: an extremely powerful subspace disturbance begins bearing 825.78 mark 125
CSO_Spear says:
CO: Sir....Ah'm pickin' up an extremely powerful subspace disturbance....
FCO_Knight says:
::Prepares to take any evasive action::
CMO_Roxton says:
::Starts telepathically probing the area, hoping to beat the sensors to the detection of something, but doubts it will work::
Host CO_Cutter says:
CSO:  Can you be more specific?
CTO_Kostandinos says:
EO: Yes, I think everyone past the third grade has heard of sonar ::gives him the Look and waits for him to continue::
CTO_Kostandinos says:
CO: Sir, the disturbance is at the same location as the Elara
EO_Davidson says:
CTO: It's an old earth sensor method used in the 21 century. That is what I have done here. I have tied the main sensor grid into the main deflector. If you send out a low level sound pulse and it get reflected back you may be able to get a bearing on it.
CSO_Spear says:
CO: Even with Engineering's upgrades, Sir...Ah kinna...It's a disturbance is about all Ah kin tell ya.
Host CO_Cutter says:
FCO:  All stop.  Hold position
FCO_Knight says:
Self: What the Devil!?!
CTO_Kostandinos says:
EO: Thank you
FCO_Knight says:
::Commands all stop:: CO: readin' all stop, sir.
CSO_Spear says:
CO: Sir...the fusion is gettin' close to critical mass.  The reaction is growin' exponentially.
Host CO_Cutter says:
CSO:  Where at Chris?
EO_Davidson says:
::Nods:: CTO: No Problem...that is what we engineers do.....We Live To Serve ::goes and take the bridge engineering station::
CMO_Roxton says:
::Eyes widen and quickly restrains the gasp from escaping from his mouth::
CSO_Spear says:
CO: At the black hole, Sir.
Host CO_Cutter says:
FCO:  Bring us around...  start to close on the Elara...  1/4 impulse
Host CO_Cutter says:
CTO:  Max power to shields
CTO_Kostandinos says:
CO:Done, sir
CMO_Roxton says:
::Tries again..  Same result.  ut oh::  CO: That won't help much Captain.
EO_Davidson says:
::Checks the hull stress and SIF Fields::
CNS_Hills says:
::Just noticed that the tension got more tense on the bridge during the past few minutes::
Host CO_Cutter says:
CMO:  Come again?
FCO_Knight says:
CO: Aye. ::Relays the CO's orders into the CONN:: Engaged.
Host Klord says:
Action: The Omega symbol appears on the main view screen and all station screens
CMO_Roxton says:
CO: Because I'm either being blocked by an incredibly strong telepath, which I doubt.  Or the Elara is no longer present anywhere remotely near us.
Host XO_Spear says:
::Stares at the Omega symbol::
EO_Davidson says:
::Stares at the his screen:: Self: Mh My god!
MO_Cutter says:
::Frowns at the symbol that appears on her consol:: Self: What the heck is that?
Host CO_Cutter says:
::Stares at the symbol::  FCO:  All stop
CMO_Roxton says:
::Eyes his screen and starts tapping stuff..  No response from the terminal.  Just what in the heck I bloody needed::
CSO_Spear says:
::Tries to clear her screen from that weird symbol.....can't get anything on her readouts::
EO_Davidson says:
::Assuming that it's something bad::
Host XO_Spear says:
::Attempts to clear it from the viewscreen::
FCO_Knight says:
::Frowns as he looks up at the main screen and has a very bad feeling::
CNS_Hills says:
::Sensed that tension just went through the proverbial roof all of a sudden, and she doesn't have to be Betazoid to feel that::
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Looks shocked as a strange symbol appears on her screen and cannot get rid of it - has no idea what it means but remembers seeing it when Admiral Ostun was aboard::
CSO_Spear says:
::Reigns herself in from commenting on the CO's "all stop"::
FCO_Knight says:
CO: A-a-aye, Cap'n. All stop.
Host CO_Cutter says:
COMPUTER:  This is Captain Jason Cutter acknowledging Omega directive.  Clear all screens.  Authorization Delta Eight One.
MO_Cutter says:
*CMO* some really odd symbol has popped up on the consol here...
CEO_Michaels says:
::Stares at the master situation monitor which now has a huge Omega symbol on it::  *CO*: Not to be rude Captain, but just how do you expect me to keep this ship in one piece without a Master Situation Monitor?
Host Klord says:
Action: the symbol disappears
Host CO_Cutter says:
*All*   You should have your consoles back.
MO_Cutter says:
*CMO* er.. And now it's gone.  Nevermind I guess...?
Host CO_Cutter says:
FCO:  Hold station here
CMO_Roxton says:
::Grabs the console to keep from falling from his chair as the emotions slam into him like a ton of bricks before he could bring his mental shielding up::
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Wonders what that was about.... maybe Brynn broke something...::
FCO_Knight says:
CO: What the hell was that?
Host XO_Spear says:
CO: Captain....
Host CO_Cutter says:
::Walks over to the science station::  CSO:  Excuse me
CEO_Michaels says:
::Shakes his head as his systems come back online::  Self: Honestly, what do they do up there.
EO_Davidson says:
::Turns to the CO:: CO: captain, what was that?
Host CO_Cutter says:
All:  Stand by
CSO_Spear says:
CO: Energy readin's from the black hole are off the scale...
Host CO_Cutter says:
CSO:  Step away from the console Chris
MO_Cutter says:
::Wonders what the heck is going on?  The symbol gone... but 'cos Jason ordered it?  Was it all over the ship?  What the heck was it?::
TO_Sharpe says:
CTO: Well, what'd'ya need me ta do?
CSO_Spear says:
::Steps aside:: CO: Aye......
EO_Davidson says:
::Just stands to his feet wondering what is going on::
Host CO_Cutter says:
::Moves to the console and begins to scan::
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Is already confused, and has no idea what assignment to give the TO since she herself does not know what is going on:: TO: Just.... sit there....
EO_Davidson says:
::Looks at the XO::
CSO_Spear says:
::Walks away running her fingers through her hair::
TO_Sharpe says:
CTO: ugh...alrigh'
Host CO_Cutter says:
CSO:  Send these sensor readings and all ships data to Starfleet.  Priority 1
CTO_Kostandinos says:
CO: Sir, all signs of the Elara are now blocked due to the fusion energy....
Host CO_Cutter says:
CTO:  Acknowledged
CSO_Spear says:
CO: Aye, Sir.....::Steps back to her console and sends all sensor readin's to SFHQ, encrypted and priority one::
Host CO_Cutter says:
::Moves back to his chair::
CMO_Roxton says:
CO: Ship sensors might be blocked, but I'm not.  And I'm reasonably confident I'm not being blocked by another telepath either.
Host CO_Cutter says:
CSO:  Do you see the particle being formed on sensors?
Host CO_Cutter says:
CMO:  So you're telling me the Elara is gone?
FCO_Knight says:
CO: I got too much interference on m' nav sensors. What the devil's out there?
CNS_Hills says:
::Is wondering what is going on::
CSO_Spear says:
CO: Which particle, Sir?  Ah see the Boronite reactin' with the black hole if that's what you mean, Sir.
CMO_Roxton says:
CO: Aye Captain..  That would be what I'm telling you, much as I hate to admit it.
EO_Davidson says:
*CEO*:What the heck is going on?
MO_Cutter says:
::Watches the med staff working diligently, wondering what the ship was getting into this time.....::
Host Klord says:
