<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<RESUME MISSION>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  Captain, the crew appear to be back to normal.  Some of the children are nervous, but that is to be expected.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::On bridge, reviewing sensor reports from the Voth encounter, trying to see if there was anything else that could have been done to prevent the ship's capture.::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Sitting in the Command chair waiting for something to happen::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::keeps an eye on their course, back home::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: in main engineering posting the next week's duty roster for all engineering shifts :: Self: There! One job done.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::groggily sitting at his console on the bridge pushing buttons to keep himself from getting too bored::
CSO_LtCmd_KnightSky says:
:: Down in the main science room, folks sitting around in various positions as they had their own debriefing of what was going on and how best to utilize the area of space they were to be going through.::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS:  Besides the blazingly obvious, what do the children have to be nervous about?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  Just about everything Captain.  Nothing is stable in their lives anymore.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS:  Hmph.  It will keep them on their toes.  Build character.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  If you are looking for excitement, I could get our 3 hellions to brighten up you day! ::grins at him::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Self: Reptiles appearing out of nowhere might make them nervous...
*Scoo*: Get Alpha team to run a check on the cargo bays, I hid a small "anomaly" in there, see how quick they can find it.  Whoever finds it gets an hour Holodeck ration.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: walks back to her office and prepares the day's reports :: Self: it never ends it seems. I wonder what's happening on the bridge?
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS: Are they still giving you problems?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Self: And they better find it before she gets hungry, or she's going to scratch the heck out of me when I let her out of the cage.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::begins making a song out of the beeping buttons and taps his foot to it::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  No, well one tiny one, but I just mentioned they would have to answer to you and it all stopped.  It seems as if I heard one of them say under his breath that he didn't want to be fed to a targh! :;chuckling::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::smiles as Randi "suggests" the children to cheer the Captain up:: OPS: Nice tune, but I would turn the volume down a bit... ::glances over his shoulder::
 
ACTION:  A console in Engineering begins beeping.

CSO_LtCmd_KnightSky says:
:: One by one they create a plan of action, knowing it could quickly change, but routine was important on a ship.::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS: They should be so lucky.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  Whatever works Captain!  I wonder where they got the idea to begin with?
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::stops pushing buttons and rests back in his chair::
EO_Martin says:
:: sees one of the station lights blinking :: Self: Now what? :: walks over to check it out ::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
~~~FCO:  Shame on you!~~~ ::grinning mentally::
CSO_LtCmd_KnightSky says:
:: The meeting was dismissed and her scientists and technicians began to head out one by one or in groups.::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Casts a suspicious look at the CNS::  CNS: I wonder that myself.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::raises her hands in the air::  CO:  It wasn't me Captain.  ::looks back at him suspiciously::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::all innocent:: ~~~CNS: What? I know you by now Randi...~~~
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Angeltra*: Hey man, how's the Launcher checks going?  Everything running comfortably warm?
EO_Martin says:
:: leans on the console and punches a couple of buttons to bring up the diagnostic ::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::keeps his voice low:: OPS: We could play tic-tac-toe... as long as the others don't find out.
TO_Angeltra says:
*CTO*: We're on the second launcher now, nothing out of the normal has shown up yet.  I'll let you know when we finish before we move on to the targetting sensors.
EO_Martin says:
Self: Oh great, Holly is not going to be happy. :: taps his badge ::
SO_Harlan says:
:: As the room clears, he steps over to his chief.:: CSO: I was going through those star charts you and Commander Roznine put together and I found a slight anomaly that might interest you.  :: Hands her the padd::  I will see you later.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::judges the risk and his boredom and decides its worth it:: FCO: Ok, just one quick game.
EO_Martin says:
*CEO*: Holly, Martin here. We have a problem you'd better check out.
TO_10100 says:
*CTO*: I can't believe...
  TO_00101 says   
*CTO*: ...you put her down here.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::nods slowly:: OPS: You start. ::sets up the consoles for the quick game::
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::places an O in the bottom left corner::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::hears one of the Binars::  CTO:  Icky, you didn't!
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*Martin*: Gee, you just made my day. On my way. :: throws the report on her desk and walks out into the main bay ::
CSO_LtCmd_KnightSky says:
:: Scanning through the data she makes her way to her office.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Smiles.::  *Bynars*: I take it you found her?  Good, although I'm not sure how to award the prize to a pair.  Drop her into my quarters and open the cage door, lock code Alpha 2, you know my quarters code.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::places an X in the middle of the grid::
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::places an O in the bottom right corner::
EO_Sparks says:
:: takes a step back as Holly approaches :: CEO: It's not good Holly. Warp coil failure.
CSO_LtCmd_KnightSky says:
:: Pausing, she reverses her steps and heads for cartography.:: ~~~~ FCO: Bro, you busy up there?~~~~
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CNS: What?  Have to keep things interesting, and Smeaglie likes to see the outside from time to time.  When she's awake that is.  She likes the Cargo bays as they tend to be a touch cooler than other hiding areas.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: looks at the data :: Martin: How many do we still have?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::places an X in the bottom of the grid between the two Os:: ~~~CSO: Busy? Not really... just playing a quick game of tic-tac-toe with Sahen.~~~
 
ACTION:  Power fluctuations are recorded on the OPS console.

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CTO:  Well, just make sure you don't put one of the cats down there...
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::places an O at the top in the middle::
CSO_LtCmd_KnightSky says:
~~~~ FCO: I have no comment on that.  Could you meet me down in cartography?~~~~
EO_Martin says:
CEO: Just checked, and it's a problem. Only one left. :: frowns and looks back at his chief ::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
~~~CSO: I'll ask the Captain. What's it about?~~~ ::places an X next to the other one on the middle row::
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::suddenly notices a beeping and closes the game to check the fluctuations out::
CSO_LtCmd_KnightSky says:
:: Entering the room, she heads for the console and hooks the PADD to it, downloading the data.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CNS: No, cat's don't fit my quarters well, they don't like the cold.  Surprised the Bynars found her, though.  Guess they used brains to beat the pups.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  You awake over there Captain?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: walks back and forth a few times her face not showing any emotion :: Martin: Well, let's get it repaired and we'll worry about finding another one later.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
CO: Sir, I'm receiving some power fluctuations
EO_Martin says:
CEO: On it Holly.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS:  Wide awake Counselor
OPS:  What type of power fluctuations?
CSO_LtCmd_KnightSky says:
~~~~ FCO: Remember that slight hickup the computer went through?  It slightly distorted the data in comparison to what the captain thought our course was after our 'lift'.  I need you to verify what Harlan has discovered.~~~~
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
Self: I guess I better let the Captain know. ::taps her combadge :: *Bridge*: Sparks to Captain Q`tor.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
~~~CSO: Ok, can do. See you in a few.~~~ ::turns in his chair:: CO: Captain, permission to go to Stellar Cartography, Commander Sky needs my help with verifying some information.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
CO: I'm not sure, I'm checking.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
*CEO*: Q'tor here
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*CO*: Sir, we have a problem down here. We've just lost another warp coil. Now for the good news. We can replace it.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS:  This can't be coincidence
CSO_LtCmd_KnightSky says:
Computer, lower light value to 0.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO: Sir?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Scans the surrounding area for any signs of ships with Short Range Sensors.::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
FCO:  Drop out of warp.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
CO: Sir, I believe the fluctuations were caused by the warp coil failure.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
*CEO*: I'm dropping us out of warp Commander.  Let us know when your ready.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*CO*: Do you want the bad news Captain?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::disengages the warp engines:: CO: Aye, sir. Impulse power. ~~~CSO: I could be a while. We just dropped out of warp...~~~
CSO_LtCmd_KnightSky says:
:: As the room darkens to pitch black, the console gives a barely noticable glow.  She taps a few command controls, filling the room with stars.::
CSO_LtCmd_KnightSky says:
~~~~ FCO: Why?  Am I needed on the bridge?~~~~
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
*CEO* You're always supposed to lead with the bad news Commander. Let’s have it.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*CO*: We're replacing it with the last one we have.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
~~~CSO: I don't know yet. Power fluctuations and things... Holly is giving the bad news now.~~~
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Resets the SRS to match the Phase Offset the Voth were using and scans again, just to feel safe.::
Host CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Sighs heavily and glares down at the back of OPS' head::  *CEO*: jI'yaj.  How long will it take the machine shop to fabricate some more?
CSO_LtCmd_KnightSky says:
~~~~ FCO: I will be here if needed.~~~~
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*CO*: Captain, we can't replicate another one. We need to find another starbase or a passing ship and try and procure one there.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::sighs as she knows this means planet hopping::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CO: Captain, do you need Commander Sky up here, or can I go down to Stellar Cartography to help her with verifying the information?
CSO_LtCmd_KnightSky says:
:: Pulls up the original maps they had been looking at and carefully aligns the two sets.::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
*CEO*: Very well.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
FCO:  And why do YOU get special favors?  ::grinning;:
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
FCO:  We may be awhile so you can head to Stellar Cartography
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*CO*: Sir I suggest that we start looking for a warp capable system. We may need help if this coil fails.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::starts playing his song on the console again::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CNS: Because I'm special. ::smiles as he gets up and heads for the TL:: CO: Thank you sir. ::enters the TL::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Want me to review what we've got on this area, see if I can find us a possible source?
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
*CEO*  We're already on it Commander.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  Captain, Knox might be a good source of information if he has been in this sector.
EO_Martin says:
CEO: Holly, we'll be ready to pull the coil in about five minutes.
CSO_LtCmd_KnightSky says:
:: Seeing the area that was distorted, she snips that area and blows it up.::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
TL: Stellar Cartography. ::waits as the lift goes down 8 decks::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CTO: That and get Knix, or ::pauses at the Counselors suggestion and motions his head twoards her:: What she said.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Alpha Team*: We're currently at a stop for engine work.  Start a patrol to ensure no one sneaks up on us.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::trys not to snicker at the Captain::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
Martin: Well done. Let me know when your team is ready.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Aye Sir.
*Knox*: Mister Knox, could you join us on the Bridge, please?  ::Starts reviewing the limited charts we already have on the area.::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
OPS: Mister Sahen.
CSO_LtCmd_KnightSky says:
:: Picking up Dylans approach, closes her eyes, waiting for the doors to open and then close.::
Knox says:
*CTO*:  Of course Commander, on my way.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Exits the TL and walks the short distance to SC, enters the darkened room and stops next to his "sister":: CSO: Here I am. We had to stop for a while - we lost a warp coil and they are installing the last one.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::slightly startled:: CO: Yes sir?
CSO_LtCmd_KnightSky says:
FCO: The last one?  That is definitely not good... unless, we can get home sooner.  :: using a laser light, circles the area the two charts do not match.::  Notice this area?  What can you make of it, compared to where we are now?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Charts have some limited data on a small settlement not far from here, hopefully mister Knox will know something about it so we don't have to go in based on rumors.
Knox says:
::arrives on the bridge and heads toward the CTO::  CTO:  You wanted to see me Commander?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Knox:  Hello Knox!  Baby has missed your visits.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: gets the signal from Martin that his team is ready ::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
OPS:  Correct me if I'm wrong, but as the Ships Operations Officer, isn't it up to you to keep track of ships stores, including equipment?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::taps a few commands on the console and zooms in on the indicated area:: CSO: Are you sure this is right?
Knox says:
::smiles::  CNS:  Well you tell baby that I'll see her soon!
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Knox: Yes, how are you doing?  We need to make a parts run for engine components, and we'd like to get the needed parts ASAP.  Found this world on the star charts, but don't really have any information on it.  Are you familiar with it?  ::Points to the world on the console display.::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CTO: Make sure Commander Roznine has the coordinates when he returns.
Knox says:
::looks over the star charts::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: notifies the bridge :: *Bridge*: Engineering here. We are ready to pull the coil.
CSO_LtCmd_KnightSky says:
FCO: Harlan is the astrophysicist.  I had him working on it while I was tied up with Braeden.  He just finished.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::realizes he's about to get in trouble again and swears in his head:: CO: Yes sir, but there's nothing going on right now, I've been checking every few seconds.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Aye Sir, consider it done.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::doesn't want to smile as Sahen is nervous enough::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::frowns:: CSO: We're closer to that planet than farther? How is that possible? I thought we left it behind a few years' travel in the opposite direction?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: nods to Martin to proceed ::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
OPS: I was just wondering why no one seemed to know until just now that we are down to our final warp coil?
Knox says:
CTO:  I believe this planet is Kantu.  They are a very friendly race Commander.....and their planet is probably one of the most beautiful I've ever seen.
CSO_LtCmd_KnightSky says:
FCO: All I can come up with is that small hickup.  I thought we had accounted for it.  Harlan did better.  How far away do think we are from it?
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
CO: Sir, no one from engineering notified me of any such shortage.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
OPS:  You are aware, are you not, of what type of circumstances we would be in if we did not have another warp coil?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CSO: It just makes no sense at all.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  That sounds really good Captain.  It would be nice to meet friendly people for a change.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Knox: That's good to hear, makes trading easier when you don't come in with Phasers aimed.  Plus friendly folks make for secure ports, if you know what I mean.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::zooms in some more:: CSO: That looks like 2 or maybe three lightyears.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CTO: Amen Icky!
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
CO: Yes sir, but there’s nothing I can do when I don't know about it.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
OPS:  Assuming that we can find a planet where we can get what we need, you will be accompanying Commander Sparks on the trade negotiations.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Prepares a PADD with the available information on the planet for Commander Roznine when he returns.::
Knox: Any idea what kind of goods these Kantu folks look for in trade?
CSO_LtCmd_KnightSky says:
FCO: That, or whoever tranported us, did something... I have no idea what. :: looks at the markings.::  So we are not that far away.  :: looks at Dylan::  For some reason, that thought is slightly frightening.
Knox says:
CTO:  Kantu is more of a relaxation world.  It's where a lot of races go to get rejuvenated.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  I would like to go down this time if an AT is sent.  I miss out the last time.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: goes to assist Martin with the coil ::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::looks at Sky:: CSO: Frightening at what we could find... but exciting to think that could be our ticket home.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::curses in his head again:: Self: Great. Trade negotiations, my favorite.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
CO: Yes sir.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS:  We'll see.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  Would pouting help your decision any? ::looking at him with mischief in her eyes::
CSO_LtCmd_KnightSky says:
FCO: Well, I guess we had best let the captain knows.  I leave you the honors.  And I guess I had best do some more research now.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
OPS:  Between you and Commander Sparks, you two know best what we are in need of.  Then you can have a personal inventory of everything that is brought on board.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::smiles:: CSO: I was about to say the same thing to you... but OK, I'll call him down here and do the show and tell.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS: You probably wouldn't like the way my decision would be influenced by 'pouting'.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::makes a deep audible sigh::  CO:  Captain, you just have no sense of humor today!
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Knox: If they are a pleasure world, would we need some sort of local currency?  If so, that will complicate things.
CSO_LtCmd_KnightSky says:
FCO: You want me to remain here until he arrives?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CTO:  I thought he said religious... or did I misunderstand?
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::gets a twitch in his right eye and tries to calm down but can't help but have a tone of irritation in his voice:: CO: Yes sir.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Turning away and lowering his voice::  CNS: How can you say that after seeing the look on Ensign Sahen's face just now?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CSO: Nah, you can get started on your research. ::reaches up to tap his commbadge, then gives Sky a quick hug:: I'll see you at dinner.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::makes a mental note to go to the holodeck for target practice with a Romulan Disruptor::
Knox says:
CTO:  Actually, no.  They don't do things for profit.....it is their nature to have those that visit their planet to enjoy themselves.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: as the old coil is removed, Holly takes a closer look at the problem ::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::leaning over and whispering back::  CO:  Captain, you really need to ease up on him a little... you never know where this could lead.
CSO_LtCmd_KnightSky says:
:: Nods and lowering her eyelids, steps from the room into the hall wondering once again, why whoever set this up, had not included a small docking room to prevent light pollution and eye dark adaption.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Knox: So they're samaritans.  That could prove good, but I think the parts we need would be asking a lot.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
*CO*: Captain, could you please come down to Stellar Cartography... I have something to show you.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::does not like the emotional sense she is getting from OPS::
Knox says:
CTO:  That's where their trading skills come into play.
CSO_LtCmd_KnightSky says:
:: Considers asking Randi if she would like to join her and then just shrugs as the counselor still did not like the unusual library.::
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::makes sure that no one sees him when he gets an evil smirk::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Smiles.::  Knox: I think I understand.  Worse comes to worse we can find stuff to trade once we get there.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS: I know more than I'm given credit for Counselor.
*FCO*:  On my way.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS:  You have the bridge.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: wonders why the coil failed now, after all it hadn't been in use for very long :: Self: I don't like the look of this.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  Aye Sir. I have the bridge.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::getting up from her chair, she takes the BIG SEAT::
CSO_LtCmd_KnightSky says:
:: Making her way to her office, she heads for the special safe and unlocking it, pulls out the 'library'::
EO_Martin says:
CEO: What's it look like Holly?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::paces the room, circling the star charts::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
OPS:  We haven't had the chance to get to know one another.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::startled by the CNS, turns his head:: CNS: What's there to know?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
Martin: Take a look at this. ::points to the damage :: Have you ever seen that kind of marking before?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
OPS:  Are you fond of animals?
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
[place my line above the CNS's last line]
CSO_LtCmd_KnightSky says:
:: Activating the device, she grabs her tricorder and steps through::
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
CNS: Not particularly.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
TL: Stellar Cartography
EO_Martin says:
:: kneels down and looks at the coil :: CEO: Never saw that before in a coil Holly. Think it just got missed by the inspectors?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
OPS:  Do you have any hobbies?  We rarely get the chance to talk.  I like to know who I am working with, other than their position on the bridge.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Exits the TL and heads to Stellar Cartography::
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
CNS: I like to keep my tactical skills up by getting target practice. I also enjoy some good food.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Enters the room:: FCO: What do we have?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
OPS:  Wonderful!  The CTO has wonderful tactical exercises every day, and I love to cook.  Would you like to come to dinner some evening?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Knox: Any chance we have access to any Kantu Literature?  Often helps to understand the species when you can read their works.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::barely feels the Captain as he reaches the doors and closes his eyes in time so it he won't lose his night vision:: CO: We have something strange going on here.
CSO_LtCmd_KnightSky says:
:: Climbing the steps, she pauses as everything around her goes dark.::
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::ponders for a minute:: CNS: Sure.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
OPS:  What are some of your favorite dishes?
 
ACTION:  Dylan and Braeden lose mental contact with the CSO.

CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
FCO: How do you mean strange?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CO: The two charts are the same, the one being our position before we got the "lift"... the other after. I've highlighted two areas. They are the planet where the machines are... ::goes deathly pale::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: kneels down as well :: Martin: They would have spotted that. It's clearly obvious. I suspect that the damage was done after it was loaded onto the Huron.
CSO_LtCmd_KnightSky says:
:: Stills as there is no sight or sound around her.  She cannot feel anything... as if she were walking in nothingness::
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
CNS: I enjoy lots of traditional food served on Earth, but I enjoy most anything that’s edible. I hate salads though.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
~~~FCO:  Roz, what is wrong?~~~
Knox says:
CTO:  I believe I can help.  My ship should have a fair amount of information on Kantu.  I'll download that information for you Commander.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::barely whispers:: CSO: Sky?
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
FCO: What about the machines? Commander? Are you alright?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Knox: Thanks.  Even if it doesn't help the trade, it's a great learning experience.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
OPS:  Well, I have been known to make good food!  Do you like meat?
Knox says:
::walks over to an adjoining console and establishes a link::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
~~~CNS: I can't feel Sky...~~~ ::staring blankly at Q'tor:: CO: I lost my link with Commander Sky... I can't feel her. ::tries to keep the panic down::
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::snickers:: CNS: I might as well be a carnivore. Do you like Romulan Ale?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
~~~FCO:  Roz?  What is... what!~~~
CSO_LtCmd_KnightSky says:
:: Turns around as if to retrace her steps, but the sensation of stepping down is missing.::  Great, just great.  I will never hear the end of this from Randi.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: stands up again and  taps her badge :: *OPS*: Sparks here. I need to know where we picked up that last shipment of warp coils.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
OPS:  I don't believe I have had any recently.  I believe it is forbidden by SFC isn't it?
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
FCO:  What link?  What are you talking about?
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::speaks low:: CNS: Well, I've got a few bottles hidden away.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CTO:  Icky, take command... Roz and I have lost touch with Sierra.  I want to close my eyes to see if I can get in touch with her.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
~~~CNS: You try, you're much stronger.~~~ ::shakes his head to clear his mind a little:: CO: Its a long story, Captain, but we spent some time in each other's minds a while back... we have a closer mental link than most telepaths. I would always know where she is on the ship. And now she's not here. Last I can tell she was in the lab.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CNS: Aye, also going to do an internal scan.  
Knox: Sorry, I'll be right back to you.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Computer: Locate Commander Knight Sky.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::Nods to Icky and closes her eyes, sending out her mental energy to Sierra::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Taps his Com badge:: *CTO*:  Q'tor to Security!
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*CO*: Aye sir, go ahead.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::turns and looks in the direction of her quarters:: CO: Her son is starting to panic. He can't feel her either. I have to go to him now. ::looks at the two charts again:: To answer your original question, sir, we are roughly 2 to 3 lightyears from the planet with the machinery... and not 2 years behind us.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Turns internal sensors to search for Commander Knight Sky.::
CSO_LtCmd_KnightSky says:
:: Turns slowly around, or thinks she is turning slowly around, she looks outward and then with resignation, mentally reaches for Dylan.::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
~~~FCO:  Roz, I am coming up empty as well.  Now what?~~~
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
*CEO*: Looks like it was the Vendaran Colony.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
[OPS = CEO]
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
*CTO*: Commander Knight-Sky is missing.  Finding her has just taken precedence over everything. Is that clear?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
~~~CNS: I'm not sure... but I'm going into that library to look for her.~~~ ::gets a very determined look on his face::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CTO:  Icky, I am not able to make mental contact with the CSO.  What are sensors reading?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: looks over at Martin:: *OPS*: Anyone bother to check the shipment?
CSO_LtCmd_KnightSky says:
:: Her eyes open wide as she finds herself coming up against a blank wall.  A touch of panic slips through her.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*CO*: Aye sir, Commander McIntyre already informed me.  Internal sensors are not finding her. I’m looking now to see where she last appeared.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CNS: No sign of her.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
Martin: Check that new coil before installing it. I don't want any problems with it.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Computer: What was Commander Knight Sky's last known location?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
*CO*:  Captain, I should have known.  I tried to tell you that library was not as it should be.  That is why I would not go back in.  I think Roz is going to try.  Someone needs to go with him if he does.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: shakes her head :: Self: Just another routine day....not!
Knox says:
CTO:  Download is complete Commander.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Knox: Thanks, I'll hopefully be able to get to it soon.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CO: If you will excuse me Captain. I have a child to go and clam down, and someone who is closer than my own family to find. I will be in the lab shortly. She was using that alien library, and I'm going after her. ::his face show that no amount of arguing or orders will make him change his mind::
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
*CEO*: I must've overlooked it.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Heads back to the bridge::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CNS: Last reading was in the Lab.  If you can take the Bridge back, I'm going to go down for an on site look.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CTO:  I know it is that danged library... ::stands and begins to pace;:
SO_Jewel says:
:: Trying to calm down Braeden who will not stop crying.::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CTO:  I have the bridge.  Go Icky!
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::heads for the nearest TL to head up to Sky's quarters, calling ahead to Jewel to tell her he's coming::
