<<<<<BEGIN Mission>>>>>

XO_Woo says:
::hurries down the corridor and steps into a Turbolift:: Turbolift: Bridge. ::hums softly to himself and looks down at his uniform:: Self: Red is such a hideous color...

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::On Cardassian Bridge, trying to decipher computer console.::

FCO_Roznine says:
::sits in the Big Chair::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@EO:  So are we having any luck here?

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
@::working on the engineering console on the Cardassian derelict ship::

CTO_Peters says:
::Working at her console on the bridge::

CEO_Hansen says:
::sitting quietly at her work station on the bridge, just listening to the various beeping of consoles::

XO_Woo says:
::leans from side to side until the Turbolift reaches the bridge, and the doors slide open; he steps out::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::turns to scan the room, still feeling as if someone is watching them::

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
@CNS: Not yet counselor, but give me few minutes.

OPS_Barnes says:
::running routine sensor sweeps on the bridge::

XO_Woo says:
::sees the FCO:: FCO: I have the bridge, lieutenant.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@EO:  Holly, this may sound strange, but do you feel like someone is watching us?

Host Jamie_O says:
@ACTION: the Cardassian Console that the TO is looking at translates into detailed trade maps, route schedules, and trading patterns.

FCO_Roznine says:
::hears the turbo lift open and get up from the Big Chair:: XO: Aye, sir. ::steps down to his console::

XO_Woo says:
::sits down in the center:: CTO: Give me an update please, Ensign.

CTO_Peters says:
::Watching the Tac scanners::

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
@::looks up and around the room:: CNS: Can't say that I do. What do you feel?

CSO_Bluestine says:
::on the bridge of the Huron at science 1, quickly moving his hands over his console as he glances at the readouts and determining which are useful and are not::  Self: Great....why we are we always flooded with so much useful info ?

FCO_Roznine says:
::checks on the escape routes he plotted earlier::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Looks with interest.::  CMO: This looks like trade information.  Why would a Cardassian Warship have this kind of stuff?  Shipping raids maybe?

CNS-McIntyre says:
@EO:  Well, I am sensing no minds, but just this odd feeling... hard to explain.

CEO_Hansen says:
::monitors the various systems of the ship, not really desperately needed in engineering at the moment::

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
@CNS: I wish I felt it too, but I don't. I'm sorry, counselor.

CTO_Peters says:
XO: On what sir?  The away team is over there, haven’t heard back from them in awhile though.  Nothing on Tac sensors, hmmm Indestructible is keeping their distance, but keeping an eye on us.

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@*CTO*: Chief, I've found some information that is a bit unexpected.  Looks like trade route schedules and so forth.  Don't understand why they'd be on a Cardie vessel, though.  I'm going to transfer them over to you.

CTO_Peters says:
XO: I think that’s it, sir.

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
@::looks back down at the console trying to read the controls::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@~~~FCO:  Roz, all is well over here, but man am I getting the jitters... I feel like someone is watching us, but I sense no minds.~~~

CMO_Harek says:
@TO: Maybe we should ask the Cardassians?  What kind of trade information, Cardassian, other races? ::walks over to the console

Host XO_Woo says:
CTO: Hmm... surely, then, they must know by now we mean not to infringe on their sovereignty... OPS: Do we have an open commlink to the away team?

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CMO: Good question.

FCO_Roznine says:
~~~CNS: I can't say I get the same feeling. This place is just creepy.~~~

CTO_Peters says:
*TO*: Interesting.  Transfer when ready.

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
@::hits a button that reads as SIF::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Initiates Tricorder uplink.::

Host Jamie_O says:
@ACTION: The CMO finds similar information, as well as a captain's log entry, only it isn't reported by a Cardassian Gul....

CNS-McIntyre says:
@EO:  Holly, would you be all right by yourself?  I would like to investigate this ship a little further.

CSO_Bluestine says:
::carefully looks at his timetable and begins a detailed sensor sweep of the Cardassian vessel the away team is on::

OPS_Barnes says:
::opens a channel:: XO: Yes sir, go ahead.

Host XO_Woo says:
CEO: We are sure that the ship is not so damaged as would pose a risk to the away team, right?

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
@::nods:: CNS: Yes counselor, but is that a wise move?

Host Jamie_O says:
@ACTION: in front of the EO, illuminates a logo of a skull and crossbones on a black background emblazoned in flames

CTO_Peters says:
XO:  Sir, seems the TO found some info.  Trade routes and so on, a bit odd to find them there.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@EO:  I won't go far, just a quick look around, just holler mentally Holly and I will be right back.

Host XO_Woo says:
*CNS* Lieutenant, report - I'm interested in what's going on over there.

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CMO:  Assorted species routes, Cardassian, Federation, Klingon, Romulan.  I wonder why?  Unless this wasn't a warship?!?

CEO_Hansen says:
XO:  I don't think we would have sent them over if it was, sir.  If there's anything inside that we're not aware of, they'll have to be the ones to tell us.

CMO_Harek says:
@TO: There is a log entry here, by the captain.  Not a Gul.

Host XO_Woo says:
CTO: Trade routes? On a Galor-Class vessel?

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
@Self: Oops! ::taps the button again trying to turn it off::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@*XO*:  Sir, nothing much.  Very quiet in fact.

FCO_Roznine says:
::watches his sensors carefully::

CTO_Peters says:
XO: Yes sir.  Seems oddly out of place, doesn't it?

Host Jamie_O says:
@ACTION: as the EO pushes the button a second time, the SIF, or what's left of it engages

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@*CTO*: I don't like this, ma'am.  A warship might have information on it's own people's routes, but to have multiple empire's routes all in one database?  I'm thinking the last owner wasn't Cardassian.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::stares at what Holly just brought up:: *XO*:  Er em Sir, let me rephrase that, a skull and crossbones just came up on the screen.

Host XO_Woo says:
CTO: The Cardassian Union could never afford to squander a warship like this for mere trading... do we have any info on what exactly they may have been shipping?

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CMO: I think we should regroup with the other team until we know for sure what this is we've found, sir.

CTO_Peters says:
XO: Just what ever the TO is transferring over.  Will check it as soon as I get I all.

Host XO_Woo says:
*CNS* A skull and crossbones? ::stifles a giggle:: You're kidding, right?

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
@CNS: Small error counselor. We have SIF up now, but I'm not sure for how long. Going to try and find the environmental controls and life support now.

Host XO_Woo says:
CTO: Please do so, ensign.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@*XO*:  No Sir I am not, and I am not at all easy over here either.

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@*CNS*: Ma'am, I think we should regroup.  I don't think this was a military vessel.

Host XO_Woo says:
FCO: Keep your eyes on the Gorn vessels around here... if they make any move...

CTO_Peters says:
*TO*: maybe not Cardassians true, could it have been planted there, a trick, trap?

FCO_Roznine says:
::glances over at Chris, then turns back to watch his console:: OPS: After hearing that, I'm all for leaving and not looking back.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@*TO*:  I agree, join us in ME please.

Host Jamie_O says:
@ACTION: as the CMO reads on, it describes in great detail several shipping raids, including the capture of the vessel, the "Undaunted".

CEO_Hansen says:
::goes back to silently monitoring various systems from the bridge::

FCO_Roznine says:
::nods over his shoulder:: XO: Aye, sir.

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@*CTO*: Possible, but if so there must be a reason.  We're about to regroup our team before we continue the investigation.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@EO:  Be careful Holly.  I do not like this ship at all.

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
@::putters at the controls:: Self: This looks like life support. ::pushes the button::

CTO_Peters says:
*TO*: alright, get back to me if you find anything else

OPS_Barnes says:
::still monitoring sensors:: FCO: Should be interesting.

Host Jamie_O says:
@ACTION: the CNS feels a "presence" behind her

Host XO_Woo says:
Self: Skull and crossbones... Hmm. CTO: Odd that a skull and crossbones would be found on a Cardassian vessel... why, I remember stories of... of pirates from Earth that used the skull and crossbones motif frequently...

CTO_Peters says:
::Looks over the data the TO transferred over::

CSO_Bluestine says:
::looks up at the XO as he receives his recent sensor results::  XO: Commander, science sensors are detecting some faint energy readings onboard the ship....I'm trying to localize them now...

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::Randi turns around, suddenly sensing a presence behind her::

CMO_Harek says:
::reads:: TO: I've been reading here, and it talks about shipping raid, including the capture of a ship named “Undaunted”.

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
@CNS: Something wrong counselor?

Host XO_Woo says:
::sits up:: CSO: Energy readings? From where? ::frowns:: I take it then, they were not there before?

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@*CTO*: Yes, of course.  CMO: Shall we find the other te...  ::Nods.::  We should definitely find the other team then, on the double.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@*TO*:  Get down here ASAP.

Host Jamie_O says:
ACTION: just then the CEO feels a chill go down her spine...

CNS-McIntyre says:
@EO:  Energy Holly, but from what I can't tell.

Host XO_Woo says:
*CNS* Lieutenant, sensors have detected some energy readings just appear on the vessel... are you able to confirm?

CTO_Peters says:
XO: Are you saying this was some sort of space pirate ship?  Then the routes found on the computer would make sense.

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Activates mag lock on boots and begins to run towards Engineering.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@*XO*:  Yes Sir, and it seems to be near me.

CEO_Hansen says:
::shivers a bit and glances around, a little unnerved by the strange feeling::  Self:  Odd ...

Host Jamie_O says:
@ACTION: a few lights flicker, oxygen readings remain nil

CSO_Bluestine says:
::quickly initiates specific scans targeted at the energy readings, trying to triangulate their positions::  XO: Well, Sir...they where probably already there.....but normal scans did not detected them...

CMO_Harek says:
@::transfers the log to tricorder memory:: TO: Runs after the tactical officer

FCO_Roznine says:
::keeps the engines on hot standby:: OPS: You sure you have a firm lock on the away team?

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
@::grabs her tricorder and scans around the counselor:: CNS: Not getting any energy readings there.

Host XO_Woo says:
*CNS* Near you? CSO: Quick, check that. *CNS* Get out of there immediately.

Host XO_Woo says:
OPS: Be ready to beam them back on my command.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@~~~FCO:  Roz, I don't like this... be ready to get us back quickly!~~~

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@*CTO*: Ma'am, Security Team Alpha One is on standby, can you get them into EVA Suits in case we need backup?

CSO_Bluestine says:
::nods::  XO: Aye, Commander...

FCO_Roznine says:
~~~CNS: Already so ordered.~~~

OPS_Barnes says:
XO: Standing by.

CTO_Peters says:
*TO*: Will do, but I want you back if anything goes wrong.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@*XO*:  Yes Sir, waiting for the TO and MO to join us Sir.

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Arrives at main engineering, almost overshooting the door.::

CSO_Bluestine says:
::glances at the XO::  XO: Sir...I'm now detecting an energy reading near the CEO on the Huron...  ::looks surprised::

CTO_Peters says:
::Messages the security team to get ready::

Host Jamie_O says:
@ACTION: power is still flickering, there is only MAYBE 5 minutes left in the onboard batteries

Host XO_Woo says:
::stands up and looks toward the CEO:: CEO: Lieutenant?

CEO_Hansen says:
::hears the CSO's comment and blinks::  CSO:  What?  ::looks around her immediate area::

CSO_Bluestine says:
::checks his readings again::  XO: It just popped up on my screen, Sir...

CNS-McIntyre says:
@*XO*:   Sir, the team are here... what are your orders?

Host XO_Woo says:
CSO: Can you identify what kind of energy reading it is?

Host Jamie_O says:
ACTION: the XO is suddenly frozen in his tracks. he is chilled to the bone

CEO_Hansen says:
XO:  I just had a chill ... I didn't know it was anything ...

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CNS: I think we made a lucky pick, but I also don't think we are equipped to investigate fully with just the four or us.  ::Panting after the run.::

Host XO_Woo says:
Self: Gulps... ::then freezes...::

CTO_Peters says:
XO: sir, are you alright? ::looks around the bridge::

OPS_Barnes says:
::turns around, noticing the XO:: You alright, sir?

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
@::continues scanning around the counselor and then looks back at the readings:: CNS: I can't get the power back up, and the backup batteries only have about five minutes left of life.

Host Jamie_O says:
@ACTION: the "energy" can be felt again in Engineering of the Undaunted

FCO_Roznine says:
::fights an urge to crawl under his console, Eric's reaction is so strong even he can pick it up::

CEO_Hansen says:
::looks at the XO and gets to her feet, waiting to see if he moves or if he needs help::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@~~~FCO:  Roz, what is wrong with the XO?  He hasn't answered.~~~

Host XO_Woo says:
::paralyzed... and cold... freezing::

OPS_Barnes says:
*Sickbay*: Medical teams to the bridge!

CSO_Bluestine says:
::sees the same energy reading appear at the XO's position and sees him freeze, then quickly begins a detailed computer analysis of the energy reading's origin::  FCO: I'm on it...

CMO_Harek says:
@CNS: I found a captains log discussing raids that the ship was involved with

CSO_Bluestine says:
All: Everyone...please do not touch the Commander...we can't be sure what it does upon contact....

Host XO_Woo says:
::collapses onto the floor of the bridge, shivering::

FCO_Roznine says:
::gets up from his console:: *CNS*: Stand by for transport. ::walks over to the XO::

CTO_Peters says:
*TO*: what is happening over there?

CEO_Hansen says:
::watches him fall to the floor and bites her lip, wanting to help, but not knowing what touching him would do::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Scans the room with Phaser held at the ready, expecting pirates with parrots on their shoulder to jump out at any moment.::  Self: What am I thinking?  There is NOTHING here to fear.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@TO:  Are you picking up the energy reading, or is anyone else for that matter?

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
@::picks up the energy readings clearly now:: CNS: Counselor, I'm picking up electromagnetic energy readings now.

FCO_Roznine says:
::kneels next to the XO and pulls out his tricorder, scanning him:: CSO: Check these readings. ::tosses the tricorder over to him::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*CTO*: So far not much.  I think the shock of the ship's last owner has spooked us a bit.

CSO_Bluestine says:
::mumbles something about another puzzle to solve as he looks at the results of the computer analysis and scratches his head::  Self: Great.... where it coming from...?

CNS-McIntyre says:
@EO:  Well at least that is something... can you tell if they are coming from somewhere or are they static Holly?

Medic says:
::arrives on the bridge and looks for the emergency::

CEO_Hansen says:
::moves back to her console, watching the goings-on carefully as she can't really do much else::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@EO: Lock me in on it, where is it?

OPS_Barnes says:
::stands up, looking concerned at XO, then turns back to console, preparing the transporter locks on each away team member::

FCO_Roznine says:
OPS: Chris, I think its time we got out of here.

CTO_Peters says:
*TO* get ready to beam back, we may need you back.

OPS_Barnes says:
FCO: Should I bring them back?

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
@::sets the tricorder to the TO's frequency:: TO: Got it?

CSO_Bluestine says:
::entering the circumstances on the Huron and Cardassian he lets the computer perform a comparison analysis...looking for similarities::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@EO: Thanks.  ::Moves between the energy and the rest of the team.::

Host XO_Woo says:
::straights his legs, shakes his head and pushes himself off the floor:: Bridge: My... goodness... what was that?

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::stiffens as the presence seems to be devilish... mischievous::

FCO_Roznine says:
::nods:: OPS: I think so. I've plotted some escape routes. Pick one.

CEO_Hansen says:
XO:  The energy reading I think ...

Medic says:
::sees the XO on the ground and rushes over::

FCO_Roznine says:
XO: We don't know, you just collapsed. I'm ready to pull back the AT and get us out of here.

OPS_Barnes says:
*AT*: Huron to AT, Prepare for immediate transport.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@TO:  Icky... this is NOT a good feeling... this presence is evil...

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@All: I can't see anything, and I'm not dropping my Phaser to pull my Tricorder.

Host XO_Woo says:
CEO: No kidding... OPS: Yes, get the away team back immediately. Our presence there is not necessary, and this is most concerning.

CEO_Hansen says:
::sits down at her console and glances down to check the readings::

Host XO_Woo says:
CSO: Were you able to get a scan of what happened to me?

CMO_Harek says:
@CNS: The log I found, contains information on a captured vessel name Undaunted.

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
@::moves over to Ec’Thel’Ion:: TO: Here, check the readings on mine.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@*OPS*:  Not soon enough to suit me, Sir.

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CNS: Evil is relative, hard to judge without being ethnocentric.  ::Wishes he still believed that.::

Host XO_Woo says:
*CNS* We're going to beam the team back - are you ready?

CNS-McIntyre says:
@AT:  Prepare for beaming...

OPS_Barnes says:
XO: Energizing now. ::moves hands up and down triple bars::

CEO_Hansen says:
::sits silently, always feeling out of place when she's on the bridge::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Checks the readings.::  Self: Nothing to shoot, nothing to punch.

CSO_Bluestine says:
::nods at the XO::  XO: It appears you where hit by some sort of electromagnetic surge...  I'm currently performing a comparison analysis to see if there are similarities here...

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
@::readies for transport::

FCO_Roznine says:
::glances at Eric and moves back to his console:: XO: Escape routes plotted, ready to leave as soon as the AT is back.

Host XO_Woo says:
FCO: Move us back a bit when the Away Team is back.

CTO_Peters says:
CEO: Everything all right? 

Medic says:
::scans the XO, who seems to be all right now::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@*XO*: Ready to beam out sir!

FCO_Roznine says:
XO: Gladly, sir. ::waits for confirmation that the AT is on board::

CEO_Hansen says:
::looks over at the CTO::  CTO:  Yes.  Why?

Host XO_Woo says:
*Transporter Room* Is the away team back?

Host Jamie_O says:
@ACTION: the Away Team feels the familiar pull of the transporter

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::materializes on the Huron once more::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Feels the Transporter grab.::

Medic says:
XO: What happened?

CTO_Peters says:
::Shrugs:: CEO: the XO just collapsed...just wanted to make sure everything was alright,,

Transporter_Chief_3 says:
XO: We have them, sir.

CSO_Bluestine says:
XO: Scans prove these surges are similar as the ones on the Cardassian Vessel....origin or cause are still unknown at this point in time, Commander....

CEO_Hansen says:
CTO:  You'd have to ask him.  I wasn't injured.

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Materializes and almost rips off helmet.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
::looks around and sees they have returned to the Huron::  *XO*:  Sir we are back, shall I come to the bridge?

Host XO_Woo says:
FCO: Move us away... but I want to stay in the region nevertheless... this... Cardassian "trading" vessel is intriguing...

Host XO_Woo says:
*CNS* Please do so, lieutenant.

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Computer: Seal Transporter room three.

FCO_Roznine says:
::hears the comm:: XO: Moving back, sir. ::turns the Huron on her central axis and heads away from the Cardassian ship::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CNS: Just a sec.  I want to be sure we weren't followed.

CSO_Bluestine says:
::glances at the CEO::  CEO: Chief, could you do my a favor and see if there are any system reports that could explain the electromagnetic discharges... ?

CNS-McIntyre says:
::begins to remove the EVA suit::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Pulls Tricorder, looking for signs the disturbance followed them.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
TO: Followed?

CTO_Peters says:
::keeps her eyes on the scans of the Cardassian ship::

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
CNS: Shall I return to engineering? ::removes her suit and stows it::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CNS: You know, jumped the beam.  I don't see any signs of it, though.

CMO_Harek says:
CNS: Take my tricorder it contains a log entry by the captain of the Cardassian vessel ::holds out tricorder::

CNS-McIntyre says:
EO:  You might want to report to the XO first.

CEO_Hansen says:
::hears the CSO's request and looks down at her console, going back over the readings to look for any electromagnetic discharges::

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
CNS: May I take your enviro suit and stow it for you?

FCO_Roznine says:
XO: How far is in the area, sir? ::personally thinks far from the graveyard is still too close::

Host XO_Woo says:
Bridge: Okay, guys, I want an analysis of what went on, both here and on the vessel. I want to know what these energy readings are, I want to know what the skull and crossbones is doing on that vessel, and I want to know what the Cardassians used that vessel for. I can't believe that they would just use a Galor-Class vessel for trading simple goods

CNS-McIntyre says:
CMO:  Thanks Guri, I will give it to him ::taking the tricorder::

CNS-McIntyre says:
EO:  Thank you Holly, I appreciate it.  ::handing her the suit::

Host XO_Woo says:
FCO: At least 10,000 kilometers away... for now. I don't want any more of these energy readings on the vessel.

CSO_Bluestine says:
::nods at the XO::  XO: Aye, Commander...

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::smiles and takes the suit and stows it in the locker::

FCO_Roznine says:
XO: Aye. ::backs the ship off to 10000 kilometers::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Stashes the suites and grabs the Phasers.::  CNS: All clear here.  Computer: Drop seal.

Medic says:
XO: I can't find anything wrong with you, but please report to Lieutenant Harek when you have the time for further analysis

CNS-McIntyre says:
::Nods to Icky::  TO/EO: Shall we go to the bridge now?

Host XO_Woo says:
CEO: Lieutenant, when the TO and the CNS returns to the bridge, I would like you to assist them in analyzing their data... pay particular attention to what happened to the vessel that led them here.

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CNS: I think so.  I want to see what we can do about our new found friends.

Host XO_Woo says:
Medic: Oh, bother... but thank you.

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::waits to follow the counselor to the bridge in case Commander Woo wishes to see her report::

CEO_Hansen says:
XO:  Aye, sir.

CNS-McIntyre says:
::walks out of the TR and down to the TL::  TL:  Bridge ::waiting for the EO and TO to get in::

CSO_Bluestine says:
::still confused he brings up the internal sensor logs of the Huron's bridge::  Self: All Right...where did you come from...?  ::moving his eyes closer to his console he stares at the readouts, trying to draw a conclusion::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Exits Transporter room and enters Turbo Lift.::  TL: Bridge.

CEO_Hansen says:
CSO:  Our systems didn't cause any EM occurrences by the way.

Host XO_Woo says:
FCO: Have the Gorn responded to our moving away?

CTO_Peters says:
::Reads over the data that the TO sent over::

CSO_Bluestine says:
::smiles at the CEO::  CEO: Thank you, Chief...

CNS-McIntyre says:
::exits the TL onto the bridge::  XO:  Sir, the TO and EO have information for you.

FCO_Roznine says:
::doesn't look up:: XO: Not yet, sir.

CEO_Hansen says:
::nods:: CSO:  You're welcome.

Host XO_Woo says:
TO, EO: Report, ensigns.

CNS-McIntyre says:
::takes her seat on the bridge, next to the CO's chair::

CMO_Harek says:
::enters a Turbolift:: TL: Sickbay

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Moves to Tactical 2.::  CTO: I'm going to try and reconfigure internal shields to contain whatever it was we "saw" over there.

CEO_Hansen says:
::falls back to silence and just listens, glancing down at her readings occasionally::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Can't say for sure, sir.  Something was over there, but invisible.  Even with Tricorder help, I don't think I could have hit the blasted thing.

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::stops in front of the XO and smiles:: XO: Sir, we recorded an electromagnetic energy ready on the Cardassian ship.

Host XO_Woo says:
EO: Were you able to identify the source of this energy?

CTO_Peters says:
TO: Good idea, I hope we didn't bring what ever was over there here, but something made the XO go all weird

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Computer: Examine energy readings from...  CTO: Something is...was here?

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
XO: No sir, but it began when I brought the SIF on line.

Host XO_Woo says:
::snorts:: CTO: It literally froze me. All weird... humph. CSO: Anything yet?

CTO_Peters says:
TO: yeah, what he said, it froze him, something’s not right here

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Computer: Analyze energy readings as recorded both by the Away Team and on the Bridge.

Host XO_Woo says:
EO: Yet it couldn't be related to mere operation of the SIF?

FCO_Roznine says:
::watches the sensors closely to see how the Gorn react, and if any ships might be trying to sneak up through all the wrecks around them::

CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  Sir, and I kept feeling as if something was watching the entire time I was there as well, then the energy reading came up on the Tricorders.

CSO_Bluestine says:
::shakes his head as he blinks his eyes the readings::  XO: No luck yet, Commander... none of the sensor data is conclusive in this case... too random to draw a pattern or anything in that area...

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
XO: Not that I can determine sir. It seemed to be all around us, like a ghostly feeling a dejavue feeling.

Host XO_Woo says:
CNS: There were no other life signs recorded on sensors, on that vessel...

Computer says:
TO: Information entered, define parameters of analysis.

CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  Sir... I hesitate to say this, but this energy feels evil to me...no one Sir.

CEO_Hansen says:
::just listens to the report being given by the EO::

Host XO_Woo says:
CNS: This is all reminiscent of very spooky pirate stories that I used to enjoy as a child... but we are light-years away from Earth, and this is a Cardassian vessel.

Host XO_Woo says:
CNS: Do you have any idea of what they may have been transporting?

CMO_Harek says:
::walks towards sickbay and runs into a medical team coming from the other direction::

CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  Sir, I haven't seen the logs, but the TO should have that information.

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Computer: Energy level and frequency, look for thermal and sonic variations as well.

OPS_Barnes says:
XO: Well it IS a ship's graveyard.... sort of fitting to have spooks in a graveyard, if I know my ancient Human literature.

Host XO_Woo says:
CNS: I'm reluctant to believe that the energy... is what all of you are probably thinking right now. There must be a more logical explanation. Someone is preventing us from exploring that vessel... why?

Host XO_Woo says:
OPS: Oh, bite your tongue - ghosts belong only in literature, and there is no place for them in the world of science.

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::moves over to the TO::TO: Do you think that bringing the SIF online may have triggered something?

CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  Sir, sometimes there is recorded instances where the dying have not passed on... perhaps that is what I am sensing?

OPS_Barnes says:
XO: This might be a product of Cardassian wit though.

CSO_Bluestine says:
::glances at the XO::  XO: Commander...maybe we're looking in the wrong direction...maybe there are reports of similar incidents happening in this ship graveyard before ?

CEO_Hansen says:
::listens silently to the sudden bustle of words, again feeling out of place::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: With all due respect, sir, ghosts are kinda like magic, and magic is simply anything not yet explained by Science.  Whether they are ghosts or not is a matter of semantics.

Host XO_Woo says:
CNS: Recorded instances... ::snorts::

Host XO_Woo says:
CSO: Do you suggest, then, we should ask... the Gorn?

CMO_Harek says:
Ens_Pali: Where were you?

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
EO: I can't honestly say.  At least not until we find out what they were or what they were doing.

CSO_Bluestine says:
XO: Well, it couldn't hurt....could it ?

FCO_Roznine says:
~~~CNS: I see our Commander is a skeptic.~~~

Host XO_Woo says:
CSO: Very well. We shall try. OPS: Lieutenant, open hailing frequencies.

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
TO: They? You think there were several?

Pali says:
CMO: I reported to a medical emergency on the bridge.

CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  Sir, the Tricorders last log ends on a raid with a relief mission to Cardassia, the sensor logs dissipate in the Bajor System when the damage is recorded and the ship goes offline. ::handing the tricorder to the XO::

OPS_Barnes says:
XO: Aye, sir. COM: Indestructible: This is the United Starship Huron hailing Gorn cruiser Indestructible, respond.

CMO_Harek says:
::walks into sickbay with the Ensign and another medical officer::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
EO: Um, can’t say for sure, but it's reasonable.  At least two, one here to "touch" the Commander, and one to play the staring game with us.

CEO_Hansen says:
::shifts slightly in her chair and stares absently at the readouts on her console::

CMO_Harek says:
Pali: Ensign were is the patient now?

Host XO_Woo says:
::takes the tricorder from the CNS and glances over it::

CSO_Bluestine says:
::nods at the XO, not sure of his case at the moment either...but learned to step out of the "circle" at times and objectively look at the situation::

FCO_Roznine says:
::watches his console::

CTO_Peters says:
::wonders if the Gorn are responsible for all the weird events::

Host Indestructible says:
@COM: Huron: Thissss is the Gorn Dreadnaught Indesssstructable, what bussssinesss do you sssseek?

CNS-McIntyre says:
~~~FCO:  What do you think of all this Roz?~~~

OPS_Barnes says:
::plays message over main audio:: XO: Channel open, sir.

Host XO_Woo says:
COM: Indestructible: This is Commander Eric Woo of the Huron. Thank you for responding. We were wondering if we could inquire about... strange occurrences in this starship field.

FCO_Roznine says:
~~~CNS: That I don't want to be here, rather safely at home on Iota Aurigae, crawled so far under my bed they have to ship in daylight.~~~

CEO_Hansen says:
::mumbles quietly to herself, wondering if she's really needed on the bridge - is so used to being in engineering and able to move around::

CSO_Bluestine says:
::listens to the Gorn's response with interest as he keeps an eye on his sensor readings::

CNS-McIntyre says:
~~~FCO:  Any room for me?~~~

CMO_Harek says:
Pali: Commander Woo, oh when we got there he was fine and scans revealed that he was in perfect health. Apparently he experienced chills. I don't think he was impressed that we were there. I told him to report to you as soon as he can for further analysis.

FCO_Roznine says:
~~~CNS: Its a big bed.~~~

CTO_Peters says:
::Looks up and waits for there response::

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::heads over to the CEO::CEO: Ma'am, I believe that I am no longer needed here. Shall I return to engineering or do your require me to take care of anything for you? ::smiles sweetly::

Host XO_Woo says:
::looks to the CNS to see her interpretation of the Gorn's reaction to his opening statement...::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CTO: Would it be a dereliction of duty to just blow that piece of junk out there to atoms?

Host Indestructible says:
COM: Huron: Legend hassss it that that area of sssssspace is haunted by the sssssspiritssssss of thosssse who sssserved on those sssshipsssss.

OPS_Barnes says:
::restrains a chuckle of the Gorn confirmation of his ghost stories::

CNS-McIntyre says:
::raises her eyebrows and looks at the XO, with an "I told you so" look::

Host XO_Woo says:
COM: Indestructible: Really? How interesting. Do you have any reports of any such observations? ::tries to refrain from snorting::

CEO_Hansen says:
::blinks a bit as Sparks comes over to her::  EO:  I don't think I have anything in particular for you to do.  You can head back down to engineering if you're finished here.

FCO_Roznine says:
::hears the Gorn's words and looks around::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CTO: Well, not sure if it's good news or not, but I think I figured something out about these readings.

CTO_Peters says:
TO: It is if it’s these "spirit's" home...::shrugs:: I’m not sure what to make of it really

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
CEO: Thank you ma'am, permission to leave the bridge?

CSO_Bluestine says:
::blinks as he hears the Gorn's response::  Self: Interesting theory...

CMO_Harek says:
::shrugs:: Pali: Command Crew!!! Always thinking they are indestructible.

CEO_Hansen says:
::nods::  EO:  Of course.

Host Indestructible says:
COM: Huron: We don't even know how thossse sssships got here. they jussst ssstarted sssshowing up a few yearssss ago.

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::nods slightly and heads for the Turbolift::

CNS-McIntyre says:
~~~FCO:  Then move over BUD... I am right next to you!~~~

OPS_Barnes says:
::raises an eyebrow:: Self: Fascinating...

CEO_Hansen says:
::looks back down at her console, checking to make sure she didn't miss anything important::

CTO_Peters says:
TO: uh oh... that doesn't sound good, we should get out of here.

FCO_Roznine says:
::frowns and glances at Chris:: OPS: Showing up? ::whispered::

Host XO_Woo says:
::is slightly startled by this:: COM: Indestructible: Just started showing up here? And you have no idea how they arrived here...?

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CTO: I'm not afraid of no ghosts.  But I would prefer to have figured out something better.  That energy is pretty elusive.  At this point, I don't see anything we can do about it.

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::enters the lift:: Computer: Main engineering please.

FCO_Roznine says:
~~~CNS: At this rate we can park the Huron under the bed.~~~

Host XO_Woo says:
::gives the CNS a strange LOOK.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
::tries not to laugh out loud at Roz's last statement::

OPS_Barnes says:
::sends a text message to the helm console:: FCO: Worth investigating. 

Host Indestructible says:
Com: Huron: Thosssse sssships are believed to belong to Piratesssss.......they would drop them off and come back with more damaged ssssships. but that is your sssspace, not ours.

OPS_Barnes says:
::inputs a computer request for the history of the Cestus system::

CSO_Bluestine says:
::frowns at the Gorn's comment and accesses the StarFleet Mapping database and brings up the charts from the last 20 years, trying to confirm the Gorn's claims::

CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  Sir, I think we need to leave... the energy does NOT want us to be here.

CTO_Peters says:
TO: well I do not believe in ghost either, some sort of "being" must be causing this, we just have to keep looking.

Host XO_Woo says:
COM: Indestructible: My goodness... ::thinks for a second:: Thank you very much for your assistance. Huron out...

FCO_Roznine says:
::sends a message back to the OPS console:: OPS: I don't like it.

CEO_Hansen says:
::stretches a bit in her chair, not used to sitting for long periods of time::

CMO_Harek says:
::walks towards his new office and wonders why Anita left in such a hurry::

OPS_Barnes says:
::closes channel::

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::arrives at main engineering and grabs the work schedule PADD and reviews it::

Indestructible says:
COM: Huron: Our Pleassssure Commander. I hope that we can meet again. Indesssstructible out.

OPS_Barnes says:
XO: Channel off, sir. 

Host XO_Woo says:
OPS: Send a message to Starfleet Command with an update on what we know about these ships... CNS: How curious... these pirates... and no one here seems to know about these pirates...

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Computer: Place all information discovered on the Away Mission into a separate file, security code 212-555-2368.

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CTO: Can't say whether I believe in them or not.  As I said, we just don't know what they are.

CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  At this point Sir, I don't want to know about these pirates...

Host XO_Woo says:
CNS: These pirates are clearly a danger to the entire area, and I suspect that if not us, someone will have to investigate and put a stop to these raids... so many ships have already been taken by them, it seems.

FCO_Roznine says:
::keeps a close eye on his sensors::

CSO_Bluestine says:
::looks up at the XO::  XO: Commander, I've compared the star charts of the last 10 years of this region and the Gorn claims seem to be correct...this ship graveyard just began appearing a few years ago....

OPS_Barnes says:
XO: Aye sir. ::types up a report to Starfleet, including away team logs:: 

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CSO: Any way to figure out how often the ships appear?

CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  Sir, does that mean we are going to investigate? ::not liking that idea at all::

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::sees that the duty engineer has taken care of the day's repairs and made his report::

Host XO_Woo says:
::nods to the CNS:: FCO: Very well. For now, we should leave this area immediately... take us on a course for Cestus III for now, until we receive further instructions.

CMO_Harek says:
Self: Now with Anita on the nighthawk we can continue our research into the Romulan disease with the information from the crew that contracted it

Host XO_Woo says:
Bridge: But we will continue analyzing the data that we have - and answer the questions I posed. Please.

FCO_Roznine says:
::taps in the co-ordinates:: XO: Gladly sir. ::starts to maneuver the ship out of the graveyard::

CEO_Hansen says:
::squirms a bit in her seat and watches her console, listening to the goings-on as well::

CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  Excellent choice Sir... I think a science vessel would do better at this than perhaps we would.

FCO_Roznine says:
CNS: With a flotilla of battleships as back-up.

Host XO_Woo says:
CNS: Right now, I am more concerned about the pirates than about any... ghosts in the area.

Host XO_Woo says:
::snorts with disgust::

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::is pleased at the way the engineering department is performing and is sure her boss will be as well::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Most pirates would be afraid of a Federation Starship.

OPS_Barnes says:
Computer: Search Literature Database for any old earth literature called "Ghost Stories" and have it sent to my quarters

CNS-McIntyre says:
FCO: True!
