::running scans on the area::
SO_Knight says:
CTO: Not a clue, but with further research on th' data an' we'll have our answer.
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
SO: Could you use holograms in a way to produce a mirroring effect sir?
FCO_Mades says:
::without turning around:: XO: Don't you think that all those padds being thrown at you will be painful?
TO_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::before she can stop herself, laughs outloud at the FCO's comment::

CTO: The probe's not showin' an'thin' unsusal either.
FCO_Mades says:
::turns and smiles at the TO::
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
FCO: May I remind you that XO's have the ability to deflect hostile padds.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
FCO: I would not suggest throwing them Lt.  Unless of course you wish to be court martialed for assault on a superior officer.  ::Raises her eyebrows at him.::
TO_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::winks back at him::
FCO_Mades says:
::realizes he still hasn't caught her name.. pretty rude of him actually::
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
XO: Several years for assaulting a superior officer right?
SO_Knight says:
CTO: As for ya holograms, without knowin' how it works, I can't recreate it.
FCO_Mades says:
XO: Nah, my dress uniform itches.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
::Is really just messing with the FCO's mind.::
TO_Kostandinos-Michaels says:

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
::Her armchair console beeps signaling completion of a report.::
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
CTO/TO: Ensigns  Please compile all Borg SFI reports filed by Adm Doey's office and correlate with current circumstances.
TO_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::her uneasiness with the situation is quickly turning into impatience... right now all they were doing was waiting for something to happen, and waiting was not what she was good at::

TO_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::nods to the XO, looks to the CTO to see that she also understood their assignment, and gets to work::
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
TO: I hope we at least get some interesting data from the sensors soon.
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:

TO_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
CTO: You have no idea....  ::is just about bouncing off the walls, glad for the reports to compile because it takes away some of her nervous energy::
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
FCO/TO: I believe I gave you two an order. ::Raising her eyebrows at both of them enjoying toying with their minds in her Vulcanish way but in a Bajoran style.::

TO_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::looks up at the XO, innocently:: XO:  But the reports aren't finished compiling yet, ma'am... Adm. Doey has a lot of Borg information to cross-reference.
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:

SO_Knight says:
::Pops a marshmallow in his mouth and watches the probe telemetry::

FCO_Mades says:
::turns to the TO:: TO: Him, I'm your flight director for this cruise.  There will be drinks served on the lua deck at 7.
Host Rich says:
Action: The probe suddenly picks up a transwarp corridor opening and then suddenly stops transmitting.
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
XO: Ma'am the probe has stopped transmitting.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
CTO: Plot those report locations and times.  See if there is a pattern.
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
XO: I ma'am.
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
::starts plotting locations and times::
SO_Knight says:
CTO: The probe had picked up a transwarp conduit openin' before we lost it.
Host Rich says:
Action: A Borg cube and Sphere appear from out of the nebula.
FCO_Mades says:
::his hopes dashed, sounds like the Borg have found a way back to the alpha quadrant.  Life just got a lot more complicated::
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
::Looks up at the screen to see a Borg Sphere.:: CTO: I suppose it is logical that the reason for the stoppage is because of that. ::Points to the screen.::
TO_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::possibly loud enough for others to hear:: Self:  Here we go again...
Host Rich says:
Action: The cube and sphere seem to be scanning for anything in the area.
SO_Knight says:
Self: Croickey...
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
Self: Gods
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
FCO: All stop.  Prepare to jump to warp.

FCO_Mades says:
XO: Commander, if we stop we will eventually lose the protection of the moon we are behind.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:

COM: Borg Vessels: State your business in this area.
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
::makes a face at the borg::
Host Rich says:
Action: The only response o the hails is the sphere moving in the direction of the moon.
FCO_Mades says:
::sighs inwardly.. why did she have to announce their presence.::
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
FCO: Follow them closely but not too closely Lt.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
SO: Find out what that moon has that they want.
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
XO: I am curious in taking a shuttle out to the area for safety where we lost our probe.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
CTO: Bring us to yellow alert.
SO_Knight says:
XO: Scannin'... ::Focuses scans on the moon::
FCO_Mades says:
XO: Follow them!  Commander, firstly they are on approach towards us.  Second, we are no match for a cube and a sphere.  We should evacuate the area.
Host Rich says:
Action: The cube and sphere soon take off in different directions.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
CTO: Not at the moment Ensign.
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
::brings them to yellow alert::
SO_Knight says:
XO:The Borg vessels are movin' off in opposite directions.
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
FCO: If the borg don't view us as a threat they will ignore us.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
TO: Launch a tracking device to the cube now.  FCO: Stay with the Sphere.
TO_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::nods:: XO: Aye, ma'am ::launches the tracking device, and wishes she could launch two and have them get out of there::
SO_Knight says:
XO: Scans show squat on that' moon, Commanda.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
SO: Recheck those scans.
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
XO: Think there is something scaring the borg sir?
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
XO: They normally dont head in the opposite direction unless a bigger threat.
SO_Knight says:
XO: I double-checked 'em. There's nothin' there.
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
SO/XO: Are we sure these are the Borg we are dealing with?
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
All: They must have picked us up then.
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
XO/SO: That doesn't make sense.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
*Engineering*: I need us masked.  Can you make it happen?
FCO_Mades says:
XO: Commander, you hailed them.  It is a simple matter to trace the source of a hail.
Host Rich says:
Action: The cube and sphere are soon out of range of the sensors.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
::Hits her fist on the console in irritation with herself for not ensuring that that hail was masked.::
TO_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::following the telemetry from the tracking device that is staying with the cube::
SO_Knight says:
XO: They're out of sensa range, ma'am.
FCO_Mades says:
::relaxes a bit as the Borg vessels move away::
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
XO/TO/SO: Are we sure these are the Borg. Hasn't anyone been noticing there odd behavior?
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
CTO: Yes Ensign.  I believe it is time for your shuttle excursion.
SO_Knight says:
CTO: It's always been a bit difficult to predict th' Borg's behavior after a couple o' encounters.
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
SO: But, they don't even seem interested in assimilating us.
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
SO: that's what has me more worried a bit.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
CTO/SO: Meet me in the shuttle bay.  We are going to find answers.  FCO: You have the bridge.  FCO/TO: Keep this ship together no matter what.
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
XO: Yes ma'm.
SO_Knight says:
CTO: Mabe they have an ulterior motive, like they did when they invaded Earth's space and sent a sphere back to disrupt First Contact.
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
::Heads toward the turbolift::
FCO_Mades says:
::confused, he simply nods and watches as they leave::
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
::Before standing and going to the TL to the Shuttle bay she sends a message to the CO informing her of the status.::
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
FCO: Watch out for power spikes sir.
SO_Knight says:
::Gets up after grabbing a tricorder::
TO_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::once they all have left::FCO:  Maybe it's because I'm new here, but why a shuttle?
FCO_Mades says:
::blinks:: TO: I'm really not sure.. not at all.
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
::Enters the turbolift::
SO_Knight says:
ENters TL after CTO::
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
*CTO*: Go to the armory and sign out the weapons.  *SO*: Go to the science lab and pick up the portable science kit.
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
XO: Yes ma'am.
FCO_Mades says:
::gets up from his seat and heads over to the replicator:: TO: I need a drink.   Replicator: Coffee, double sweet.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
::Goes to Sickbay and picks up the med kits and also stops by her quarters and picks up her field jacket just in case.::
TO_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
FCO: do they have "grownup" drinks in there too?  ::laughs a little::
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
Turbolift: armory.
FCO_Mades says:
::turns with a smile:: TO: I'm not sure that you are old enough to have access to those.
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
::starts getting out some phaser rifles and grenades::
SO_Knight says:
::MAkes a stop by the lab and gets the kit::
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
::goes to the tl:
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
Turbolift: SHuttlebay.
TO_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
FCO: Since when has that ever stopped anyone?
SO_Knight says:
::Enters the shuttlebay::
FCO_Mades says:
::chuckles as he sips his coffee:: TO: Well, it never did my brother and me.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
::Arrives in the Shuttle bay and stows the gear in its place then ensures the EVA's are in working order before sitting down in a seat and reviewing the sensor data, etc.::
TO_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::raises an eyebrow:: FCO: Your brother, meaning there are more of you lurking around the universe?
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
::enters the shuttle::
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
XO: I brought some grenades with me ma'am.
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
::starts storing the weapons::
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
CTO: I hope we will not have to use them.
FCO_Mades says:
::wonders why his thoughts turned to his brother just then:: TO: Oh, there are a few of us Mades' around.  But I must say that you've scored the best in the Christian model here.  ::smiles goofishly::
SO_Knight says:
::Hops in the shuttle and stows his gear::
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
SO: I hope you remember how to use a grenade.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
SO: Perform the preflight checks and when ready notify the bridge for exit.
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
::starts chcking weapons systems
TO_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::thinks for a second... she may be mostly Terran but she'd never lived on earth, or known much about humans:: FCO: Christian... isn't that some kind of ancient religious sect?
FCO_Mades says:
::considers:: TO: Now that you mention it, sure is.  Never thought of my name that way though.
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
XO: Weapons not working just kidding ma'am.
SO_Knight says:
::Does the preflight and calls up the Bridge:: Comm:Bridge: We're ready for launch.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
CTO: Ensign if you can not be serious you will be replaced on this mission is that clear?
TO_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::realization dawns on her:: FCO:  Oh, okay... I'm sorry, I didn't know you were referring to your name, and not something else...  ::shakes her head:: Maybe I've had a bit too  much of the "adult" drinks already ::grins::
SO_Knight says:
CTO: Ya use'd one grenade, ya used 'em all, love.
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
XO: Understood ma'am.
FCO_Mades says:
::walks back over to the helm:: *SO*: You are cleared for launch.  Come back safe.   ::keys in the departure codes::
FCO_Mades says:
TO: This is embarrassing, but I don't think we've been introduced since you came aboard.  I'm Christian Mades.
TO_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::grins:: FCO: We've been a little busy, you know, Borg and all...  I'm Adrienne Kostandinos-Michaels... Adri for short, or just A for those feeling particularly lazy.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
SO: Take us out Lt. Head for the last known coordinates of our probe.
SO_Knight says:
@All: OK, mates. Anyone who gets motion sick should get out now. XO: Course plotted and laid in.
SO_Knight says:
@::Launches shuttle::
FCO_Mades says:
::stops in his tracks:: TO: Did you say Kostandinos?
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
@XO: I am wondering if the borg are using a wormhole. That could explain lack of transwarp single.
TO_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
FCO: Yeah... sorry, i know it's kinda hard to pronounce...  my mother is Risan, nuff said ::grins::
FCO_Mades says:
::smiles slightly:: TO: Ashlynn?
Host Rich says:
Action: The shuttle launches smoothly and then gets caught in the moon gravity.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
@SO: To your knowledge any wormholes in this area reported or hypothesized?
SO_Knight says:
@XO: No ma'am. There's not much of interest save for the nebula and they're usually not o' any interest.
TO_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::Eyebrows nearly launch off of her head:: FCO: Yes...  ::thinks:: but you look waay too young to have served with her when she and my father were onboard the Hayden... I was 10 when she left, and you can't be that much older than I am.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
@SO: Break us out of this gravity.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
@::Looks at the sensors.::
SO_Knight says:
@XO: Compensatin'. Won't be long here.
FCO_Mades says:
::laughs:: TO: Let's just say that we've met.  But definitely not on the Hayden.  I haven't been here much longer than you.
SO_Knight says:
@::Quickly taps out a bunch of navigational commands into the helm::
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
@::Looks at the sensors::
TO_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::curious:: FCO: How'd you meet her then?  She was on the Hayden... then we...left, for a while...  then she came back to the Arondight...  were you there?
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
@::Concentrates most of the sensors on the nebula as that is where they are heading ultimately.::
Host Rich says:
Action: The shuttle move out of the moons gravity and heads for the nebula.
FCO_Mades says:
TO: Nah, I met her once on Deep Space Nine.. nothing too special.  We were just stuck there for a while between assignments.  Well, I was between assignments at least.
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
@ALL: Anyone want to play any music?
SO_Knight says:
@XO: We're on our way. No worries.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
@::Makes a mental note for the SO to update his pilot's skills with the FCO for next eval.::
TO_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::did not even know her mother had been to DS-9:: FCO: Interesting...  ::the tone in her voice says that she doesn't quite think it was as plain and simple as the FCO had made it seem::
TO_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
FCO: Most people who know her knew the both of us when she served here, but like I said, that was 10 years ago.
SO_Knight says:
@::With his skills coming back to the front of his brain, he flies the shuttle to the nebula::
FCO_Mades says:
TO: Well, like I said.  We were just both there for a short while.  She tore up the dabo tables, let me tell you.
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
@::puts on some classical music::
TO_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::laughs out loud again:: FCO: *MY* mother?  Ashlynn the straight and narrow?  Dabo?
TO_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::shakes her head:: FCO: And she  was so mad when Gervase put me on  suspension at the Academy for running an underground tournament for that game...  the hypocrisy...  ::grinning::
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
@XO/So: Why can't they make shuttles go out faster?
Host Rich says:
Action: As the shuttle nears the nebula the Borg sphere is picked up on LRS on it way back to the nebula.
FCO_Mades says:
::chuckles:: TO: I guess what happens on DS9 stays on DS9.
SO_Knight says:
@CTO: We're goin' as fast as this shuttle type can.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
@SO: The sphere is on sensors follow it back to the nebula keeping a "safe" distance.
TO_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::leans back against her console:: FCO: I suppose I learn something new about her every day...
SO_Knight says:
@XO: Aye aye. ::Redirects the shuttle behind the sphere.::
FCO_Mades says:
::turns back towards his console:: TO: Are you seeing this.  ::checks LRS::
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
@CTO: Ensign, what weapons are recommended when in a nebula like this?
TO_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
FCO: Seeing what?
TO_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
FCO: And more importantly, do I want to see it?
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
@XO: Probably cut from shields and put energy to weapons and sensors.
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
@XO: Shields useless in a nebula
SO_Knight says:
@XO: We're followin' th' sphere a' a  distance o' 550kM.
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
@XO: Sensors down so you want more energy then normal.
FCO_Mades says:
TO: The Borg sphere.. it's on a return course
CTO_Ens_Ivanova says:
@::trasnfering shield energy to sensors and weapons;:
TO_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
FCO: Meaning it's coming back here?
FCO_Mades says:
TO: Its on course.. for the nebula, and the shuttle.  ::figures it is time to interrupt the Captain::
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
@CTO/SO: Let's get those answers.
Host Rich says:
Action: The Borg sphere picks up the shuttle and heads for it.
