USS Huron - 10410.23
Host SM_Jim says:
The USS Huron is enroute to the Revonis System.  Since Orthos just happened to be along the way, the AT crew left behind on that planet was retrieved.  Time appears not to be on the side of the Huron........ will the rebel Romulans be successful?

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<RESUME MISSION>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::looks around the bridge:: Self: Revonis, here we come.
CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::On Bridge, scanning for any unidentified ships in the area, monitoring Shields and keeping weapons ready if called for::
CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
::sits at the engineering station looking over the latest readings and sighing ::
MO_Chen says:
::A very subdued group, she and the others step down from the transporter and exit for their quarters::
CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: I've been wondering, why is whoever's behind this using such exotic materials for their weapon?  Can't simply be for explosive power, what else do these crystals do?
CMO_Ens_Strafer says:
::In sickbay, making sure the equipment is ready for the worst::
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
*MO*: Roz to Chen. Welcome back, Mei Ling.
MO_Chen says:
::With a few others, she steps into the turbolift for their deck.  Hearing Roz's voice, a weak smile touches her lips::  *FCO*:  It is good to be back.  I can't convey just how much.
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
*MO*: I can hear it in your voice. I'll be there if you need to vent later?
CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
::glances over the material on the Diamtome crystals and shakes her head::  CTO: Icky, did you know that the use of the crystals used in subatomic disruptors were twenty-ninth century technology? No wonder it's classified.
MO_Chen says:
*FCO*:  Thanks...  I could use that.  Were heading for our quarters.  If I am needed, let me know.  Otherwise  ::Shrugs, not thinking that he was not there to see it.::
CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Twenty ninth Century?  Wow, would explain why I never heard of them.  But why have they popped up now if the weapons they power are 500 years away?
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
*MO*: Understood. The Captain will probably want to talk to you.
CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
CTO: Sounds to me like someone is trying to change history by a few hundred years.
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::taps his badge:: *CMO*: Roz to Strafer.
MO_Chen says:
::As they lift stops at her level, she and one other step off with a brief::  Later... ::To the others.::
CMO_Ens_Strafer says:
*FCO*: Strafer here.
CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Everyone wants to change history, some just find better, or worse, means.  What we have to know is how can they use these crystals with the Technology available at this time, right?  They have to have a plan.
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
*CMO*: Doctor, the away team has returned and they sound a bit fatigued. I would appreciate if you could check on them at some stage please?
CMO_Ens_Strafer says:
*FCO*: Understood.  Thanks.
CMO_Ens_Strafer says:
*MO*: Welcome back, Officer Chen.
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
*CMO*: Thank you, doctor. Roznine out.
MO_Chen says:
::Hoping very much that captain is not in a hurry, she steps into her quarters along with L'Tal::  MO:  I claim the bathroom first.  ::As her Vulcan roommate does not disagree, she nods and begins peeling away her clothing as she goes.::
MO_Chen says:
*CMO*:  Thank you sir, good to be back.
CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
::smiles but with a puzzled look on her face:: CTO: So who would have the technological capabilities and a reason to use them?
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::gets up and walks over to where Holly and Ec’Thel’on are working::
CMO_Ens_Strafer says:
*MO*: You must be tired after that mission.  I'm guessing now's not the best time for a medical check-up for the AT?
CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
::looks up at Roz:: FCO: Hi there. Something you need boss? ::grins::
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::smiles:: CEO: Just checking on the resident geniuses. What'cha got?
MO_Chen says:
::Tossing away the last item, she stands in front of her mirror, looking at her reflection, seeing the look that was mirrored in everyone’s eyes.::  *CMO*:  We will all wander down there soon as standard procedure sir if you will give us a bit to clean up and what not.  I think the counselor should find himself booked for a bit.
CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
FCO: Just going over the data on those subatomic weapons that the crystals power.  Nasty stuff Roz, nasty.
CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
FCO/CTO: They literally tear whatever they hit apart at the molecular level.
MO_Chen says:
::Waits a moment for the conversation to finish before tossing her commbadge with the rest of her clothes.::
CMO_Ens_Strafer says:
*MO*: Thanks.  I'll see you all soon.
CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO/ FCO: That's the question we need to answer.  Basically, if we know what they want to do, we can find ways to get ahead of those beasts.
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::grimaces:: CEO: Nasty is a mild word.
MO_Chen says:
*CMO*:  Yes sir.  ::Tosses the commbadge aside and taking two steps, is inside the shower.::
CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
CTO: Think of what a weapon like that could do to a starship!
CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: Advantage that we have, I hope, is that there's nothing able to handle those things to their full capability.  They're going to try and adapt systems not meant to do that.  Should be easier to handle.
CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: I'm trying to think of ways to not find out.  Even in a small-scale blast, it could rip us up.
MO_Chen says:
::Activates the shower to its max, then closes her eyes, wishing very much this was a hot bath and that she could stay for a while, but that would be unfair to L'Tal.::
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
CEO: Perish the thought before you complete it! ::shudders and looks around to make sure the ship is in one piece:: But it would explain what happened to the Monterey.
CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
FCO/CTO: Even if modifications could be made then there would be no limit to what they could be used for.
CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: I don't think so, Holley's scans indicate a more conventional blast, and I've seen nothing to say otherwise.  I think the Monterey was hit before the weapon was ready.
CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
CTO: Icky, do you have the report on the molecular decay rate of the Monterey? It could have been a test of a modified version of the weapon.
MO_Chen says:
<MO L’Tal> ::Not the first time and probably not the last, but unoften enough not to bother him, L'Tal picks up his roommates clothes and tosses them into the recycler.  They were not fit to wear again; nor were his own as he strips down, adding them in.::
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::nods slowly:: CTO: I was making a bit of a leap there... ::pauses as Holly speaks:: or not.
CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Do you think it could have?  Didn't the scans show a torpedo blast took them out?
CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Accesses internal sensors, scanning the Monterey debris to compare with the initial scans.::
CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
CTO: The perfect delivery system don't you think? It's not hard to overlook something that you never expected to find.
MO_Chen says:
::Sighs as she leans her head against the shower door.::
Host SM_Jim says:
ACTION:  Scans reveal the Monterey was, in fact, destroyed by torpedo blast.
CMO_Ens_Strafer says:
Nurse Steven: The away team just returned; we'll be doing some partial physicals momentarily.
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::looks at the readout:: CEO/CTO: It was a thought.
CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: I prefer to think they struck with perfect surprise.  Wouldn't be the first time a Federation ship was hit by a cloaked vessel with shields down.  Phew, scans shot typical torpedo blasts, no unusual atomic decay.
MO_Chen says:
::With a sigh, she pushes herself away and turns the unit off.  Opening the door to see her roommate standing there with a towel, she nods her thanks, takes it and steps away so he can enter in.::
CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
CTO: Ok, so where do we go from here Icky?
CMO_Ens_Strafer says:
<Nurse Steven> CMO: I hope they fared better than your team.
CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: We try and figure out the easiest way to use these crystals as a weapon with current technology.    Maybe that will give us a defense against whatever they are doing.
MO_Chen says:
::Noting the clean floor she smiles.  It was nice to have a neat freak for a roommate... most times.  Making her way around the room, she slowly gets herself together, wishing she were back on gamma shift so she too could sleep awhile.::
CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
CEO: So what is the easiest system to adapt to these crystals?
CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Question is, what do we have that could conceivably block an energy emission like these things give out?
CMO_Ens_Strafer says:
::closes eyes and swallows hard, then quickly recovers:: Nurse Steven: No deaths on the mission that I've heard of.
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::stands back a little, letting the two talk, while he just listens for the moment::
CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Quick guess, but maybe the Transporters?  They by design take things apart, not quite to the sub molecular level, but the concept is the same...isn't it?
CMO_Ens_Strafer says:
<Nurse Steven> self: Oops.  CMO: Sorry, I shouldn't have brought it up.
MO_Chen says:
:: Running a brush through her hair, she figures she was as good as she was going to get at the moment.::
CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
CTO: Possibly Icky, but they would need a delivery system.
CMO_Ens_Strafer says:
Nurse Steven: Hm?  Oh, don't worry about it.  I also hope they... fared better.
CMO_Ens_Strafer says:
Nurse Steven: I would have heard by now if they had any deaths, anyway.
CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: True.  I'm not too experienced at creating new weapons, or even having beyond a working knowledge of them.  These things are way over my stalks.
MO_Chen says:
::Looks up as L'Tal enters.::  MO L'Tal:  Enjoy your rest.  I will see you later.
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
CTO/CEO:  Amen... I'm so lost here, unless they used the crystals with a warp trail - I'm a bit lost.
MO_Chen says:
<MO L'Tal> MO:  You too should remain and rest...  ::He pauses as she shakes her head, familiar enough with his roommate to know it would not be logical to continue the discussion, especially when he knew if it were him, he too would go back on his shift.::
CMO_Ens_Strafer says:
<Nurse Steven> ::attempting to change the subject:: CMO: The clamshell could use a bit of cleaning.
MO_Chen says:
MO L'Tal:  Thanks... but I would rather work a bit then dream what I don't want to dream.
CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO/ FCO: Would these things’ emission have a frequency so we could attune the shield nuation?
MO_Chen says:
<MO L'Tal> ::With a nod, he watches her leave before simply climbing into his bed as is with an unconscious sigh.::
CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
:: laughs at Roz:: FCO: It's not that complicated Roz, but even I get overwhelmed at times.
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
CTO: Only if we knew what frequency it resonates on.
MO_Chen says:
:: Making her way to the turbolift, she nods a greeting to a few folks in passing.  She then steps in as the turbolift doors open.::  Computer, sickbay.
CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO/ CEO: Are we even considering things right?  We're decently armed for a ship our size, but are we worth using those things on?
CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
CTO: Well if they use a transporter wave we could track that.
CMO_Ens_Strafer says:
::walks over to the clamshell:: Nurse Steven: Yes, I see it does.  I wonder how that got on it.
MO_Chen says:
:: As the lift stops, she changes places with a group waiting to enter, then makes her way to sickbay.::
CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO/ CEO: What if the target for such a weapon weren't a ship, what if it was a planet?
CMO_Ens_Strafer says:
<Nurse Steven> CMO: It looks like dried-up jam. ::cleans it off::
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
CTO: You have GOT to be kidding. That would be a planet-killer for sure.
CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
CTO: That would have to be a pretty big weapon Icky.
MO_Chen says:
::Entering the room, she glances around the quiet room, making her way over to the chief.::  CMO:  I see I am the first to get here.  I think most will wait till their shift unless you order them otherwise.
CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: Sorry, now I'm the one coming up with scary ideas, but it would explain why they picked such an exotic weapon.
CMO_Ens_Strafer says:
MO: Is there any reason to think they've got any medical problems from the mission?
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
CTO: It makes scary sense, Ec'Thel'Ion... I just felt compelled to comment.
CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: I know, but what reason is there to try to use 500 year from the future technology on a mundane target?  Those crystals aren't easy to get, so the choice of targets would have to be limited.
MO_Chen says:
::Shakes her head::  CMO:  Nah... it is... ::stops and sighs.::  or was, a mining town.  Mostly there will be symptoms of stress, the usual stuff after dealing with such a gruesome task.  As I mentioned earlier, the counselors will be occupied for a bit.
CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Computer: Display any M class planet within 5 Light years of Revonis.
CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
FCO/CTO: Someone wants to destroy something with a weapon from the future but needs our technology to adapt it, so there has to be a reason why.
Host SM_Jim says:
ACTION:  The computer displays 2-type M planets.
CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: I know, and I hope my theory is wrong.  And hope is too weak of a word.
CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
CTO: Why class M Icky?
CMO_Ens_Strafer says:
<Nurse Steven> ::scans MO with a tricorder:: CMO: Heart rate... normal.  Blood pressure... normal.  Respiration... normal.  Temperature normal.
CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Sorry, I tend to get an idea in my head and run with it.  If a planet was the target, Class M would be the most likely.
MO_Chen says:
::A light smile.::  Nurse:  That needs to be fixed.  I can't be that normal.
CMO_Ens_Strafer says:
::nods to MO:: MO: That sounds pretty bad.  I guess that's work for the counselor.  Nurse Steven: Good work.
CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
CTO: Why not a mining colony? Say one that that produces Dilithium? That could create big problems for us.
FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
CEO/CTO: I'm sure we can speculate for hours and still be no closer to an answer. Just have your reports ready when the Captain gets back to the bridge. He needs to know what we came up with.
CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: True, I was thinking more of a terror target, something that they hit it and the galaxy shakes in fear.
CTO_Lt_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: Aye Sir, and hope that I'm wrong.
MO_Chen says:
::Lifts her hand to cover a yawn, then turns to look around the same, safe, familiar, room.::  CMO:  Yea... it is not one of the reasons I joined medical.
CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
FCO: Will do Commander.
CMO_Ens_Strafer says:
<Nurse Steven> ::takes a blood sample from the MO, scans it, and frowns::
CMO_Ens_Strafer says:
Nurse Steven: Is something wrong?
MO_Chen says:
::Notes the nurses look::  Nurse:  Hey... some things are good to be normal.  ::Tempted to look over their shoulders to see what they are seeing.::
CMO_Ens_Strafer says:
<Nurse Steven> CMO: Oh, I was just trying to remember how to use this thing.  ::smiles::
MO_Chen says:
::Chuckles and shakes her head::  Nurse:  What is that old saying?  I don't get angry, I get even.  ::Winks.::
CMO_Ens_Strafer says:
<Nurse Steven>::smiles at MO:: CMO: She's all good.
