Host Randi says:
::wandering with Varesh, waiting to see the traitor::

EO_Jones says:
::in ME keeping an eye on propulsion:

FCO_O`Guinn says:
CO: Disengage warp aye.

FCO_O`Guinn says:
::disengages warp engines cutting to 1/2 impulse::

CNS_Varesh says:
Randi: Sweetpea, stop leaking thoughts, he's not a traitor.

CEO_Woo says:
CO: Warp core forcefield engaged, captain.

FCO_O`Guinn says:
CO: Running at half impulse ma'am.

CTO_Ayidee says:
ATO: It would be going better if we knew what the Q'ophod were here for.

Host CO_Adamson says:
CEO:  Excellent Lt.

Randi says:
CNS:  Hey, I am being good, but not even you can tell me what to think... ::frowning::

Host CO_Adamson says:
FCO:  Acknowledged.

OPS-O`Guinn says:
::continues monitoring all communications::

Host CO_Adamson says:
SO:  Anything on sensors ?

ATO_Prasosh says:
CTO: Indeed... ::Nods, walks over to TAC1::

CNS_Varesh says:
Randi: I know, but reserve judgement until you've heard his side of the story. ACMO: Ready, Mira?

EO_Jones says:
*CEO*:  Engineering to bridge.  Warp Core forcefield looks good ... We'll keep a close eye on it, Sir.

ACMO_LtJG_Thoren says:
::thinking about everythingt hat's happened so far:: CNS: I think so.

Randi says:
::raises her eyebrow, but doesn't say a word::

Host XO_Williams says:
CO: I have a bad feeling about this

CNS_Varesh says:
::takes a deep breath and rings the chime::

ATO_Prasosh says:
::Quickly cycles through LRS and SRS::

CEO_Woo says:
::has a decidedly bad taste in his mouth about things that MIGHT wreak havoc on the warp core...:: *EO* Very good, ensign. Be aware that we are approaching the distortions.

Host CO_Adamson says:
XO:  Your not the only one.  ::shiver goes down her spine.::

EO_Jones says:
*CEO*  Yes Sir.  If there are any fluctuations we'll inform you immediately.

Host CO_Adamson says:
CTO/TO/SO:  Sensors ?

FCO_O`Guinn says:
::monitors flight path::

OPS-O`Guinn says:
::looks over at Patrick and then back at the console::

Cmdr_Richmond says:
::hears the chime:: Come in.

Cmdr_Richmond says:
::still looking out of the window::

CTO_Ayidee says:
CO: It appears the subspace distortions are localized around Zeta Aquillae.

ATO_Prasosh says:
CO: TAC sensors show no current threats, captain.

Host CO_Adamson says:
CTO:  Cause ?

CNS_Varesh says:
::watches the door swish open and enters:: Cmdr: Commander, you up to some visitors?

Host CO_Adamson says:
ATO:  Keep an eye out Ens.

ACMO_LtJG_Thoren says:
::follows the counselor::

Host XO_Williams says:
FCO: Set course for Zeta Aquillae

Cmdr_Richmond says:
::looks down at the floor, sadly::  CNS: I don't think so, Counselor.

CTO_Ayidee says:
CO: Uncertain, but based on Intelligence, I'd guess its our Q'ophod fleet.

Randi says:
::walks into the room, standing at the door, letting V and the CMO walk fully into the room::

FCO_O`Guinn says:
XO Set course Zeta Aquillae aye.

FCO_O`Guinn says:
::sets plots and sets course::

ACMO_LtJG_Thoren says:
::looks at the counselor::

ATO_Prasosh says:
::Nods at the captain and continues monitoring::

CNS_Varesh says:
::frowns:: Cmdr: May I ask why? ::ponders Todd's sadness::

FCO_O`Guinn says:
XO: Course plotted and laid in sir.

CNS_Varesh says:
::shrugs at Mira, and shoots a look over his shoulder at Randi::

Randi says:
~~~~V:  It is called a pity party V.~~~~

Host CO_Adamson says:
CTO:  Thank you Lt.  ::frowns::  XO:  What do we know about the Q'ophod ?

Cmdr_Richmond says:
::shakes his head, starting to tremble slightly::

CTO_Ayidee says:
CO: Getting a clearer read now, we have a decent sized fleet, approximately 20 ships.

Host CO_Adamson says:
::mutters:: Self:  20 ships and one of us.

ACMO_LtJG_Thoren says:
::runs a scan on him from her medical tricorder, wondering if his health is okay::

CNS_Varesh says:
~~~~Randi: I'm very well aware of that. I just don't want to pry as to why.~~~~ ::frowns as Todd starts shaking:: ACMO: Mira? Anything worng that you can see?

ATO_Prasosh says:
CO: Tac sensors confirm that...

Host XO_Williams says:
CO: Not much, I have heard the name, I think we had a tactical briefing on them when I was in the 101st but I must admit I don't remember much.

CTO_Ayidee says:
CO: They don't appear to be Warships, however.  More like transports.

Host CO_Adamson says:
XO:  Aren't these the people who live in Gel ?

EO_Jones says:
::continuously monitoring the field around the core::

CSO_Shiar says:
::sits at Sci checking sensors::

Host CO_Adamson says:
CTO:  Can you try to scan ?  I know you may not get much.

ACTION: Huron experiences power fluctuations and subspace turbulance, causing systematic fluctuations

Host XO_Williams says:
CO: I believe so.

Randi says:
Richmond:  Cat got your tongue?

Host CO_Adamson says:
::holds onto the arms of her chair.::  FCO:  Back us off a bit.

CNS_Varesh says:
::thinks for a moment, then nods to himself:: ACMO/Randi: Would you ladies excuse us for a moment? I think this has to be a "guy" thing.

FCO_O`Guinn says:
CO: Aye ma'am.

FCO_O`Guinn says:
::engages thrusters in reverse::

CTO_Ayidee says:
::Runs active scan on closest ship.::  CO:  Can't get anything from them.

Cmdr_Richmond says:
::a tear falls slowly down his cheek::

ACMO_LtJG_Thoren says:
CNS: Nothing much. ::nods her head:: Alright

Host XO_Williams says:
OPS: Increase power to inertial dampeners

Host CO_Adamson says:
CSO:  Any indication that they are trying to come through the distortion ?

CEO_Woo says:
::eyes look up, 'rolling' across the room:: CO: Ah... evidently, power fluctuations are... ::grabs onto console to steady himself::... possible effects.

Randi says:
CNS:  Yeah, sorry if I can't feel sorry for him ::turns and waits for the door to open::

OPS-O`Guinn says:
XO: Aye sir. ::increases power to inertial dampeners::

CNS_Varesh says:
~~~~Randi: I think he'll talk easier if its just me.~~~~

ACMO_LtJG_Thoren says:
::heads for the door::

CEO_Woo says:
::checks the warp core for instability::

EO_Jones says:
::notes a minor fluctuation in the field, but sees it's still stable::

FCO_O`Guinn says:
CO: We have back off ma'am.

CNS_Varesh says:
::goes to sit opposite Todd:: Cmdr: Todd, what's wrong?

Host CO_Adamson says:
CEO:  Take as much power as you need to keep those engines going.

Randi says:
::walks out the door and pauses::  CMO:  I am going to my quarters if that is all right with you...

EO_Jones says:
*CEO*:  Sir, we've just monitored a minor fluctuation in the field surrounding the core.  But it's remaining stable at this stage.

CTO_Ayidee says:
ATO: If we can isolate the frequency of the disturbance, I think we could try and match our shields to it.  Might make a smoother ride.

ACMO_LtJG_Thoren says:
Randi: It is alright.

OPS-O`Guinn says:
::shuts down all nonessential areas:: CO: All power cut to nonessential areas.

CEO_Woo says:
CO: Aye, ma'am... there is currently little risk evident, however. ::quickly brings up a power distribution grid:: *EO* Yes, I see it now, ensign.

Randi says:
::Nods at the assent and slowly goes back to her quarters, thinking about her dead friend::

ATO_Prasosh says:
CTO: Worth the try... ::begins patching in TAC SRS::

CNS_Varesh says:
~~~~Randi: Sorry sweetpea, but I have a job to do. He is still part of this crew.~~~~

Host CO_Adamson says:
OPS:  Excellent.  ::reb::  CEO:  Serious Risk ?

Cmdr_Richmond says:
::struggles to say it::  CNS: I don't know if I can talk about it yet.

Randi says:
~~~~CNS:  Whatever V, he should have thought of it earlier.~~~~

CNS_Varesh says:
Cmdr: I understand that, but it does help. I won't push you to talk, but you know where to get hold of me. I'll even hear if you yell mentally.

CEO_Woo says:
CO: That is, of course, possible, as the distance between the Huron and the distortions increases... but we will keep an eye on it.

CNS_Varesh says:
~~~~Randi: Yes, but I can't not help him. That is part of who I am.~~~~

CTO_Ayidee says:
ATO: We'll also have to match the IDF.  CEO: Can we retune the IDF to the following settings?  I'm hoping if we set this up right, we can ride out the "waves" better.

Host CO_Adamson says:
CEO:  I know you will.  ::Turns and gives an encouraging smile.::

Cmdr_Richmond says:
::forces a smile:: CNS: I know.

Randi says:
::walks into her quarters and goes straight to her room, grabbing Baby from the floor and lying down on her bed::

FCO_O`Guinn says:
::checks position::

ATO_Prasosh says:
::Nods and stands by to adjust the shield frequency::

Host CO_Adamson says:
::turns to George.:: XO:  Thoughts ?

OPS-O`Guinn says:
::continues monitoring all communications::

CEO_Woo says:
CTO: Let me see those settings... ::looks over the proposed settings on his console:: CTO: I will try to implement these settings, thank you...

CSO_Shiar says:
:: checks over shields and sensors again::

MO_Prosh says:
::walking aroudn sickbay, sulking from Mira's lecture earlier::

CTO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Don't thank me yet, we don't know if it will work.

CEO_Woo says:
::giggles:: CTO: A little rockiness never hurt anyone... unless you suffer from motion sickness...

CNS_Varesh says:
::nods:: Cmdr: If there is nothing else, I'll leave you alone for now. ::places a hand on his shoulder and gives it a light squeeze.::

Host XO_Williams says:
CO: We won't find anything unless we can adjust for the distortions

ATO_Prasosh says:
CO: Entering visual range!

ACMO_LtJG_Thoren says:
::heads for sickbay::

Host CO_Adamson says:
ATO:  Thank you.  OPS:  On Screan

OPS-O`Guinn says:
CO: Aye ma'am. ::activates the screen::

CTO_Ayidee says:
CEO: But undue stress on the Systems never helps, either.  We don't know how bad it will get as we get closer.

ATO_Prasosh says:
::Briefly looks up::

Cmdr_Richmond says:
CNS: Thank you, Varesh.  For everything.  I don't know how I would have gotten through all of this without you.  I know you weren't on the best side when that clone took over.

Host CO_Adamson says:
::looks at the screen.:: OPS:  Magnify.

FCO_O`Guinn says:
::looks up at the screen::

OPS-O`Guinn says:
::magnifies the view:: CO: How is this ma'am?

CEO_Woo says:
::chuckles:: CTO: I know, I know, I wasn't serious... ::continues to input the settings::

ACTION: the Q'orphod fleet appears to be adrift

Host CO_Adamson says:
OPS:  That will do Lt.

OPS-O`Guinn says:
CO: Aye ma'am. ::holds magnification::

FCO_O`Guinn says:
CO: Fly by ma'am?

Host XO_Williams says:
OPS: Can we hail them?

CNS_Varesh says:
::smiles wryly:: Cmdr: You have no idea... but its behind me. Know that I'll be there when you need someone to talk to.

Host CO_Adamson says:
FCO:  Please.

FCO_O`Guinn says:
CO: Aye ma'am.

OPS-O`Guinn says:
XO: I can try sir. ::activates the com::

ACMO_LtJG_Thoren says:
::Walks into sickbay:: Prosh: Do something other than walking around sickbay. ::shouts::

CTO_Ayidee says:
CEO/ ATO: Excellent work.

CEO_Woo says:
::smiles:: CTO: Well, well, what do you know? They actually worked... the motion sickness sufferers thank you, Tio.

FCO_O`Guinn says:
::sets course flying towards fleet::

CSO_Shiar says:
SO: could you go down to stella cartography and check readings on these "waves" please

Host XO_Williams says:
ATO: Tactical Analysis

CEO_Woo says:
*EO* How is the warp core and force field holding out?

Cmdr_Richmond says:
CNS: Thank you.  ::wipes his eyes::  You should be getting back to work.

MO_Prosh says:
::quickly walks to the supply closet  to find something to do.::

OPS-O`Guinn says:
COM: Q': This is the USS Huron come in please.

SO_Hansen says:
CSO:  Of course.

EO_Jones says:
*CEO*:  Still some minor fluctuations but the field and the core are stable, Sir.

ATO_Prasosh says:
XO: Scanning... ::working on SRS::

OPS-O`Guinn says:
XO: No response sir.

CTO_Ayidee says:
CSO: I'm not picking up any signs of them being under power.  I know their systems are different, but we should detect more of the distortions, if nothing else.

FCO_O`Guinn says:
::watches the fleet get closer adjust course to fly over::

CNS_Varesh says:
::smiles and gets a tissue from the desk:: Cmdr: You are my work, but you're right, I have a few other matters to attend to. Are you sure you will be ok?

Host XO_Williams says:
OPS: Keep trying

CSO_Shiar says:
SO: i'll want you to contact me as soon as you have something

SO_Hansen says:
::nods::  CSO:  I will.

FCO_O`Guinn says:
::pulls up evasive maneuvers::

OPS-O`Guinn says:
XO: Aye sir. ::sets the com on continuous hail::

CNS_Varesh says:
~~~~Randi:: Sweetpea, are you OK?~~~~

Cmdr_Richmond says:
::again, forces a smile::  CNS: I think so.  CJ will be back soon.

FCO_O`Guinn says:
CO: Evasive maneuvers on standy by ma'am.

CEO_Woo says:
*EO* I don't want to take any chances, I'm sending more power to the force field.

CNS_Varesh says:
::nods and heads for the door:: Cmdr: Until later then.

ACMO_LtJG_Thoren says:
::Goes to check on some patients::

EO_Jones says:
*CEO*:  Acknowledged.

OPS-O`Guinn says:
XO: COM set on continuous hail.

SO_Hansen says:
::steps onto the TL::

Randi says:
~~~~CNS: Yes, just resting.~~~~

CSO_Shiar says:
:: checks sensors:: CTO: you're correct. that's odd

CNS_Varesh says:
~~~~Randi: Ok, I'll be on the bridge for the time being.~~~~

Cmdr_Richmond says:
CNS: Thanks again, my friend.

ATO_Prasosh says:
XO: I can't get any decent scans from them, it's that gel... ::barely refrains himself from hitting the console::

Host CO_Adamson says:
::sighs....:: XO: Tell me what is wrong with this picture.

CNS_Varesh says:
Cmdr: Any time, my friend. ::exits into the corridor and heads for the nearest TL::

Host XO_Williams says:
XO: What do we know of there weapons historically?

CNS_Varesh says:
::enters the TL:: TL: Bridge. ::thoughts wander during the short ride::

SO_Hansen says:
::steps off the TL and walks into stellar cartography::

Cmdr_Richmond says:
::continues to look out of the window sadly::

Host XO_Williams says:
CO: Besides the obvious Ma'am

ACTION: the Huron comes along side the fleet of drifting Q'orphod vessels

CTO_Ayidee says:
CO: Although we can't get a good reading from the gel, the energy readings are alot lower than they should be, assuming our records are accurate.

FCO_O`Guinn says:
CO: Coming up along side the fleet now ma'am.

CNS_Varesh says:
::exits onto the bridge and stops for a moment to look at the view screen. Goes to his seat and leans towards Chloe:: CO: Anthing I should know?

Host CO_Adamson says:
CTO:  How much lower ?

ACMO_LtJG_Thoren says:
::checks the readings on a biobed, not quite satisfied with the readings, wonders what else she can do to improve the patients' vital signs::

CEO_Woo says:
::takes a peek at the fleet::

CSO_Shiar says:
:: makes more scans and analyses all the info obtained::

Host XO_Williams says:
OPS: Any sign they can recieve our hails, are they just ignoring us, or not hearing us, or just can't respond?

Host CO_Adamson says:
CNS:  V, we have found the fleet... its not good they are drifting.

SO_Hansen says:
::looks through the "waves", trying to make heads or tails of them::

OPS-O`Guinn says:
::watches the screen:: XO: Unsure sir....scans aren't letting us see anything.

FCO_O`Guinn says:
::flies down the side of the fleet::

CNS_Varesh says:
::nods:: CO: I Can see that. I'll see if I can sense something. ::leans back in his seat and closes his eyes for a moment::

CEO_Woo says:
::trying to resolving power fluctuations::

CTO_Ayidee says:
CO: A significant amount.  I'm not an expert on the Q'ophod, actually this is the first time I have encountered them direct, but it doesn't seem like they are operating under normal parameters.

Host XO_Williams says:
CO: Maybe V should come up here, see what he can tell us telepathicaly

Host CO_Adamson says:
CTO/CSO:  They need that Gel to live, if they are loosing electrons it could be killing them.....  suggestions ?

EO_Jones says:
*CEO*:  Sir, what's going on up there?  I'm still reading fluctuations in the field down here.

CNS_Varesh says:
::hears George and waves at him over Chloe's head:: XO: I'm right here, sir.

Host CO_Adamson says:
XO:  He is going to try George.  I'm not sure if they are telepathic though.

CTO_Ayidee says:
CO: Unable to give a reasonable suggestion, we need to know what happened before we can fix it.

CEO_Woo says:
*EO* I know, I know, I'm trying to resolve the power fluctuations as we speak, I'm afraid it's an effect that cannot be directly avoided without a bit of work involved

Host CO_Adamson says:
CTO:  Contact Dr Thoren, she may have some ideas.

EO_Jones says:
*CEO*:  What do you need?  Can we help down here?

Host XO_Williams says:
CO/CTO/CSO: What about modifying our phasers to transfer power to there vessles?

CSO_Shiar says:
CO: i would have to agree with the CTO

CNS_Varesh says:
::sits up:: CO: I think we have a problem. They are all barely conscious. ::looks concerned::

ATO_Prasosh says:
CO: It seems there is a slightly larger ship amongst the fleet... trying to get any more ifo on that...

Host XO_Williams says:
FCO: Set our course to bring us along side that larger ship

CTO_Ayidee says:
*CMO*: Doctor, we've arrived at the Q'ophod fleet.  They appear to be inactive, and their...their "gel" appears to be loosing power.  Do you know anything about them that could help?

FCO_O`Guinn says:
XO: Set course for larger ship aye.

Host CO_Adamson says:
CSO:  Is there anyway we can send an AT over... modify our bio suits ?

CEO_Woo says:
*EO* Please continue to monitor the warp core and the field, I will instead work on the power fluctuations themselves, understood?

FCO_O`Guinn says:
sets course steering to come up along side the larger ship::

EO_Jones says:
*CEO*:  Understood, Sir.

CSO_Shiar says:
CO: there could be

OPS-O`Guinn says:
::watches the screen adjusting as needed::

FCO_O`Guinn says:
XO: Coming up along side now.

Host XO_Williams says:
CSO: Can we beam one of them, and some of that Gel into a containment field in sickbay?

CSO_Shiar says:
*SO*: we may try sending an AT. i need any info you have that would effect bio suits.

Host CO_Adamson says:
CSO:  Please investigate, V, says they are barely conscious.

ACMO_LtJG_Thoren says:
::thinks:: *CTO* I don't know that much about them. But I will see  what I can  find out.

Host CO_Adamson says:
CNS:  Keep a close eye on them V.

CSO_Shiar says:
:: investigates the XO's idea::

Host XO_Williams says:
CO: What about sitting a shuttle down on the hull, we could use it to relay messages through there hull?

ACMO_LtJG_Thoren says:
::shouts:: Prosh: Keep an eye on Ms. Laris.

CTO_Ayidee says:
XO: I'm not sure.  Phasers may help, or they may be an incompatible form of energy.  Our data is limited, it may cause more harm than help.

Host CO_Adamson says:
XO:  Good idea.  It certainly wouldn't hurt.

SO_Hansen says:
::looks over the information she has::  *CSO*:  As far as I can see, there's nothing that would effect the bio suits.

Host CO_Adamson says:
XO:  George, take Dr Thoren and Lt Shiar with you.  Is there anyone else you think you'll need ?

CNS_Varesh says:
::nods:: CO: Aye, ma'am. I think I'll have a bit more luck if I go and sit in the Observation Lounge. There are just a little bit too much mental static here. And I'd like to have Randi help me focus a bit more.

ACMO_LtJG_Thoren says:
::goes over to her office to see what iff anything there is on the Q'ophod in the medical database::

Host CO_Adamson says:
::nods:: CNS:  Go for it.

CSO_Shiar says:
*SO*: oh, thanx

CTO_Ayidee says:
CO: I'd suggest they take Security.  The Q'ophod aren't exactly an ally.

Host XO_Williams says:
CO: No Ma'am

CNS_Varesh says:
::nods and gets up:: ~~~~Randi: Sweetpea, can you come to the OL, please? I need your help.~~~~

Host XO_Williams says:
*CMO/CSO* Meet me in shuttle bay 1

Host CO_Adamson says:
CTO:  Good precaution.  Hmmmm Ens Prasosh, please join them.

Randi says:
~~~~CNS: Sure V, on my way, and yes, they are barely alive.~~~~

ACMO_LtJG_Thoren says:
::grabs up a medkit:: *XO* On my way.

ATO_Prasosh says:
::Briefly checks LRS to see if there's no other ships in the vicinity::

Host XO_Williams says:
::STands and heads to the TL::

ATO_Prasosh says:
CO: Aye captain. ::gets up::

Randi says:
::gets up from the bed and rushes out of her bedroom, and out of their quarters, running to the TL::  TL:  OL.

CNS_Varesh says:
::walks towards the OL:: CO: I'll keep an open link to you, that way I won't have to hit my badge first.

CTO_Ayidee says:
ATO: Keep your ears open.  I've heard that is a liquid environment, it should make hearing easier, but sight more difficult.  ::Takes Tac 1 back.::

Host CO_Adamson says:
::grins at V:: CNS:  Just don't give me a headache.

ATO_Prasosh says:
CTO: I will keep that in mind, thank you. ::turns to the XO::

CSO_Shiar says:
:: follows XO::

CNS_Varesh says:
CO: I wouldn't dream of it.

ACMO_LtJG_Thoren says:
::gets int he tl:: TL: shuttlebay 1

CNS_Varesh says:
::enters the OL and positions two chairs to face each other::

CSO_Shiar says:
*SO*: i'm not on the bridge any more. send useful info to the CTO

Randi says:
::exit the TL and goes to the OL:  V: I am here... what do you want me to do?

FCO_O`Guinn says:
::monitors positon::

SO_Hansen says:
*CSO*:  If I get some, I will.

CNS_Varesh says:
Randi: Chloe wants us to keep an "eye" on the aliens, and to warn her if anything untoward is about to happen. I want to scan each and every one of them. We do the big ship, and work our way to the others.

ACMO_LtJG_Thoren says:
::Gets offf and walks to the shuttlebay quickly::

EO_Jones says:
::continues to monitor the core and the field::

Randi says:
::sits down in the chair in front of him:: CNS:  Ok ::closes her eyes and begins to see the creatures on the alien ship::

Host CO_Adamson says:
*XO*:  George, please keep an open com link.

FCO_O`Guinn says:
::checks sensors around the shuttle bay doors::

CNS_Varesh says:
::sits in his chair, closes his eyes and starts checking the big ship::

CNS_Varesh says:
::continues to check the ship, working his way from the middle backwards::

Randi says:
::works from the middle forward::

FCO_O`Guinn says:
::checks position again::

ACMO_LtJG_Thoren says:
::arrives at the shuttlebay::

OPS-O`Guinn says:
::checks communication link to the shuttle::

Host CO_Adamson says:
::Stands up and begins pacing the bridge.::

Host XO_Williams1 says:
::Arrives at the shuttle bay, and enters the shuttle waiting on the pad::

Randi says:
~~~~CNS:  V, I haven't found one yet that is conscious.~~~~

CNS_Varesh says:
~~~~Randi: Nor have I. I don't like this one bit.~~~~

CTO_Ayidee says:
CO: Captain, I'm going to keep a Tractor lock on the shuttle.  If something happens, I want them back as quick as possible.

ACMO_LtJG_Thoren says:
::follows the XO onto the shuttle::

CSO_Shiar says:
:: enters shuttle behind XO::

FCO_O`Guinn says:
*SO*: O'Guinn to Hansen.

Host XO_Williams1 says:

ATO_Prasosh says:
::Gets into the shuttle and takes a seat::

SO_Hansen says:
*FCO*:  Hansen here.

Host CO_Adamson says:
CTO:  Acknowledged.  ::places her hands behind her back and clutches them.  Continues to pace.::

FCO_O`Guinn says:
*SO*: Are you involved in anything important?

Host XO_Williams1 says:
CSO: I need continuous scans, once we set down on the hull, do you think you can rig us up a way to communicate through the hull?

OPS-O`Guinn says:
::watches the CO out of the corner of my eye....keeps a check on communications::

CNS_Varesh says:
~~~~CO: Stop pacing, you're winding up the troops.~~~~ ::continues his mental scanning::

CSO_Shiar says:
XO: i think i may be able to

SO_Hansen says:
*FCO*:  Not overly.

Host CO_Adamson says:
::Mutters:: Self:  I'll pace if I want to!

CNS_Varesh says:
::smiles to himself::

FCO_O`Guinn says:
*SO*: Come back to the bridge I have a project for you.

Randi says:
::giggles at the CO's reply::

SO_Hansen says:
*FCO*:  I'm on my way.

Host XO_Williams1 says:
::Powers up thruster:: *CO* Shuttle Phoenix leader sir

ACMO_LtJG_Thoren says:
::Checks the medical tricorder and scanner::

SO_Hansen says:
::walks out of stellar cartography and steps onto the TL::  TL:  Bridge.

Host CO_Adamson says:
*XO*:  Capt here.  George be careful.  Launch when ready.

Host XO_Williams1 says:
::Taps the controls and heads toward the open shuttle bay doors::

CSO_Shiar says:
:: starts scanning::

CNS_Varesh says:
~~~~Randi: She's a teensy bit touchy, huh? And have you found a conscious alien yet?~~~~

Randi says:
~~~~CNS:  Touchy? and no, I have not found one conscious, it is like the life is being sucked out of them V...~~~~

FCO_O`Guinn says:
::looks around the bridge::

SO_Hansen says:
::walks onto the bridge::

Host XO_Williams1 says:
::Pilots the shuttle taking it on a very close pass of the Q' ship looking for whatever passes as a bridge module::

CNS_Varesh says:
~~~~Randi: I get that impression too, but I can't find out why.~~~~

CEO_Woo says:
::Power fluctuations slowly decreasing... returning to 'better' levels...:: *EO* How's the core?

Randi says:
~~~~CNS: V, does this liquid contain a charge of some kind?~~~~

OPS-O`Guinn says:
::keeps an open com link with the shuttle::

ATO_Prasosh says:
::Keeps a close eye on the vessel::

FCO_O`Guinn says:
OPS: Shannon slave flight control please.

CTO_Ayidee says:
::Track's shuttles position, with Tractor Beam on line.::

EO_Jones says:
::continues to keep a very close eye on the warp core::

CSO_Shiar says:
::scans ship::

OPS-O`Guinn says:
FCO: Aye Patrick. ::slaves flight control:: I have it Patrick.

CEO_Woo says:
*EO* Ensign?

FCO_O`Guinn says:
::stands up heading to Sci::

EO_Jones says:
*CEO*:  Yes, Sir?

CEO_Woo says:
*EO* How is the core holding up?

SO_Hansen says:
FCO:  You said you needed me, sir?

Host XO_Williams1 says:
ALL: Tha looks as likely a place for a bridge as any, unless you guys see something more promising

CNS_Varesh says:
~~~~Randi: I think it should.~~~~ *CO*: Captain, does the gel the aliens live in have a charge? Its almost as if the critters' life is being sucked out of them. Or that is the impression I get.

EO_Jones says:
*CEO*:  Core is still stable.  How is the power situation, Sir?

Host XO_Williams1 says:
::points to a section of the Q' ship::

CSO_Shiar says:
XO: i'm with you

ACMO_LtJG_Thoren says:
XO: Looks like it

FCO_O`Guinn says:
SO: Ms. Hasen this is what I need you to do..... start pulling up all information on the Q'ophod. I want anything you can get.

OPS-O`Guinn says:
::monitors communications and flight control...holding the setting we are at::

Host CO_Adamson says:
::mutters again.:: Self:  V, get out of my head.  ::thinks of an impression of electrical currents.::

FCO_O`Guinn says:
::turns looking at the CO::

Host XO_Williams1 says:
::Maneuvers the shuttle to just over what appears to be a bridge module, slowly sits the shuttle down on the Q' Hull::

CEO_Woo says:
*EO* It's... ah... no longer as serious a problem as before.

SO_Hansen says:
FCO:  I can do that.  ::wanders over to a console::

Host CO_Adamson says:
Self:  Oh great, now I'm hearing things.  ::taps combadge.::  CNS:  Yes V, the Gel has a charge.

EO_Jones says:
*CEO*:  That's good to hear, Sir.  We'll continue to monitor down here.  Engineering out.

ACTION: Time Jump 20 minutes - the Crew find themselves in what appears to be a command module of some sort. they find a Q'orphod with distinct markings.  Recon charts show this to be a Q'orphod Master

CNS_Varesh says:
~~~~Randi: Looks like the charge is dropping.~~~~

Host CO_Adamson says:
::sits down at flight control and goes over the readings.::

ACMO_LtJG_Thoren says:
::runs the med scanner over him, reading ehr tricorder::

OPS-O`Guinn says:
::nods at the captain:: CO: Still holding as Patrick set them ma'am.

ATO_Prasosh says:
@::Does a thorough visual scan of the surrounding area::

CSO_Shiar says:
@XO: so this is the comand module then

Host CO_Adamson says:
OPS:  I know Shannon, I just need to do something with my hands.

Host XO_Williams1 says:
@::Moves toward the Q'orphod Master::  QM: I am commander Williams of the USS Huron, can we be of assistance?

OPS-O`Guinn says:
CO: No problem ma'am. Just letting you know. ::tries to smile at the captain::

Host XO_Williams1 says:
@CMO: What do you make of all this?

CSO_Shiar says:
@:: turns to look at Master::

Host CO_Adamson says:
::smiles at Shannon.::

Randi says:
~~~~CNS:  V we are losing them... I can barely detect their lifesigns.~~~~

OPS-O`Guinn says:
::turns my attention back to the consoles keeping a close eye on all readings::

CNS_Varesh says:
~~~~Randi: I know.~~~~

OPS-O`Guinn says:
CO: At least you stopped pacing ma'am....nothing personal but it was making me a bit nervous.

ACTION: the Master appears very weak

ACMO_LtJG_Thoren says:
@ ::Shakes her head:: XO: It's not good. Like the life is being drained out of them.

CEO_Woo says:
::takes a quick look at the core readout, but returns promptly to power distribution and fluctuations::

Host CO_Adamson says:
OPS:  My apologies Lt.  Force of habit from my days of teaching.  ::adjusts the pitch of the ship.::

FCO_O`Guinn says:
::walks over to the Captain:: CO: Ya alright ma'am?

CSO_Shiar says:
@:: moves to what seems to be SCI and attempts to scan the ship::

OPS-O`Guinn says:
CO: Understandable ma'am. Nothing personal meant by it.

Host CO_Adamson says:
::looks up.::  FCO:  I'm fine Lt.  Did you want your station back ?

ACTION: the conjtrols are unrecognisable to Shiar

Host XO_Williams1 says:
@CMO: Can you do anything for him?

Host CO_Adamson says:
OPS:  I didn't take it personal.  ::smiles::

ATO_Prasosh says:
@::Briefly looks at the Q'Orphod master, then resumes looking around, keeping hand on phaser holster::

OPS-O`Guinn says:
::smiles at the CO and looks up at Patrick smiling::

FCO_O`Guinn says:
CO: Not if you want to sit there.... I have Hasen working on a project for me at the moment.

CSO_Shiar says:
@XO: can't understand a thing on these controls

CSO_Shiar says:
@XO: i could try guessing, but...

Host CO_Adamson says:
FCO:  Good.  What kind of project ?

ACMO_LtJG_Thoren says:
@::looks at her medkit thinking:: XO: I"m not sure.

Host XO_Williams1 says:
@CSO: Tie your tricorder into the universal translator that might help.

FCO_O`Guinn says:
CO: I have her pulling up all the information we can get on the Q'ophod.

CSO_Shiar says:
@:: ties in tricorder::

SO_Hansen says:
::taps a few buttons on the console, searching the database as thoroughly as she can::

Host CO_Adamson says:
FCO:  Have her focus on the gel, I think that maybe the key.

Host XO_Williams1 says:
@CMO: Do what you can.

FCO_O`Guinn says:
CO: Aye ma'am.

FCO_O`Guinn says:
::walks back to SCI::

Host XO_Williams1 says:
@::Feels like he is suspended inside a bowl of Jello::

MO-Rand says:
@CMO:  Maam, I am picking up his mental signature, would you like for me to try and communicate with him?

FCO_O`Guinn says:
SO: Concentrate your research on the gel please.

ACMO_LtJG_Thoren says:
@MO: It would be helpful.

OPS-O`Guinn says:
CO: Ma'am what do you think is happening?

CNS_Varesh says:
::blinks slightly:: Randi: You stay here and continue your vigil. I'll go to the bridge. ::gets up and leaves before she answers::

SO_Hansen says:
::looks up at the FCO and then back down at her work::  FCO:  Yes sir.

Host XO_Williams1 says:
@MO: Let him know we are here to help.

ATO_Prasosh says:
@::having difficulty seeing teh surroundings through the gel, hand stil on phaser::

MO-Rand says:
@~~~~Being:  Can you hear me?~~~~

Host XO_Williams1 says:
@::Notices the ATO:: ATO: Relax I do not think these people are in any shape to hurt us.

Host CO_Adamson says:
OPS:  I have no idea.  I'm not sure if this is some kind of attack on the Q'ophod by draining their energy....... CTO:  Scan the area are there any other  ships around, clocked or otherwise ?

@ACTION: Rand's mind is flooded with imiges of mass dispair, a great leader and a quest for the preservance of the Q'orphod race. a great power.........and the master dies

ACMO_LtJG_Thoren says:
@::loads a vial into her hypo:: self: here goes nothing

CNS_Varesh says:
::sinks into his chair:: CO: I'm back for a while.

CSO_Shiar says:
@:: ties tri corder through UT again::

MO-Rand says:
@CMO:  Maam, he is gone, but you are not going to believe what I just got from his mind.

OPS-O`Guinn says:
CO: Who are the Q'ophod?

ATO_Prasosh says:
@XO: Indeed, sir. ::loosens grip on the holster:: It's just we don't know a great deal about them, and I'm here for our own safety...

CTO_Ayidee says:
CO: Aye, but the subspace distortions will make detection even more difficult than normally.

ACMO_LtJG_Thoren says:
@MO: What did he tell you?

FCO_O`Guinn says:
::looks down at SCI console::

ACMO_LtJG_Thoren says:
@::Puts the hypo back int he medkit::

Host CO_Adamson says:
OPS:  Not sure, they are a race that showed up in the Alpha quadrant a couple years ago.  I've had no dealings with them but I've heard other ships have.

Host XO_Williams1 says:
@CSO: Are there any other Q'orphod alive on this ship?

Host CO_Adamson says:
CTO:  Do what you can.

MO-Rand says:
@CMO:  He didn't "say" anything, just images of his people trying to survive and something about a great power... I have never seen anything like it before.

CTO_Ayidee says:
::Scans surrounding system, looking for any traces of "normal" starship propulsion.::

SO_Hansen says:
::moves her hands over the console and taps a few buttons to narrow the search::

CSO_Shiar says:
@:: scans for lifesigns::

OPS-O`Guinn says:
::nods:: CO: There was some mention of them in class back at the academy but not much else. Just curious I guess about them.

Host CO_Adamson says:
OPS:  Your not the only one.  Anything from the AT ?

CNS_Varesh says:
::gets up and walks over to the group by the consoles:: CO: Is there anybody with the AT I can talk to. I'm sure you are dying for an update.

ACMO_LtJG_Thoren says:
@::looks for where the XO could have gone:: XO:  Did you get that?

FCO_O`Guinn says:
SO: Let me know what you find please.

@ACTION: the rest of the Q'orphod appear to be well, but they are also in various stages of de-energization

MO-Rand says:
@::has a deep sadness overtake her::

SO_Hansen says:
FCO:  I will.

OPS-O`Guinn says:
CO: Nothing yet ma'am....having a hard time with them being inside the ship. Perhaps Randi or Varesh can pick up something.

Host CO_Adamson says:
CNS:  Yes I am. A telepath was beamed over to the shuttle.  Gorman I think his name was.

FCO_O`Guinn says:
::walks back over to the CO::

ACMO_LtJG_Thoren says:
@::checks her med tricorder for another Q she can help::

OPS-O`Guinn says:
::checks the records:: CO: Actually it was MO Rand ma'am.

CSO_Shiar says:
@XO: they seem to alive, just in some cases

Host XO_Williams1 says:
@CMO/MO: Yes, great power huh, anything else?

FCO_O`Guinn says:
CO: Ok ma'am Ms. Hasen is working on that project..... What else do you think we might want to do?

Host CO_Adamson says:
OPS:  I stand correct Lt.  I must be more tired then I though.  ::rubs her temples.::

Host XO_Williams1 says:
@MO: Can you reach any of the other minds on this ship?

CNS_Varesh says:
CO: Aye. ::reaches out with his mind:: ~~~~MO: Rand, its Varesh. The Captain wants an update please~~~~.

MO-Rand says:
@::moves to the next pers... er em alien, and detects lower energy levels::

ACMO_LtJG_Thoren says:
@::tries  swimming or whatever to the next one::

OPS-O`Guinn says:
CO: It's been a long day ma'am...and you can't be expected to keep up with everything. That is why you have us.

Host CO_Adamson says:
FCO:  Tio is checking for other ships.  Is there any natural phenomenon that would drain electricity ?

Host CO_Adamson says:
OPS:  I suppose to be able to.

Host CO_Adamson says:
::looks at the screen again.::

FCO_O`Guinn says:
CO: That be a good question ma'am. I will look into it.

ACMO_LtJG_Thoren says:
@::tries injectin  the Q'orphod::

OPS-O`Guinn says:
CO: No one expects that ma'am....it can't be done.

CNS_Varesh says:
::waits for a reply::

MO-Rand says:
@~~~~CNS:  Varesh, the alien I was connected with was worried about the survival of his race, and I saw something about a huge energy or power source... but I have never seen anything like it before.  The alien is now dead Sir.~~~~

CTO_Ayidee says:
CO: I am detecting no other ships in the system, Captain.

ACTION: All Screens go black, Red Alert kicks in, a symbol of the Greek Omega Alpha appears on all screens

Host CO_Adamson says:
::pales at the sight on the screen:: All:  Oh my.......!!!!  ::hurridly gets up and races to her ready room.::

Cmdr_Richmond says:
::sees the flashing on his console, looks in surprise, then horror, as his time on the Superior takes him back to an old "Eyes Only" briefing::  Self: Oh, no.  No, not this.  ::runs out of his quarters at full speed::
