<<<<<<<<<<<< Begin Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::At her station on the bridge checking on the power levels.::

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
::At science station, taking several scans of the nebula they are approaching.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::On Bridge, running final checks on Tactical systems before we get within threat range of anything in the nebula.::

CNS_Ltjg_Talora says:
::Stands on the bridge next to the CO's chair shaking her head.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CSO: Anything on scanners.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Coordinates her readings with operations.::

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
XO:  Nothing out of the ordinary on sensors, Sir.  But I am picking up the nebula.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Sitting in the big chair tapping his spike toed boots on the floor.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Angeltra: Get the Bynars to start checking EVA gear.  If we find the ship, might need to be prepared to go into the great unheated slash unknown.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CSO: Just find that ship.  ::Takes his seat next the CO waiting for what’s to come.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Looks over at Icky.:: CTO: Think the nebula is going to give us any trouble?

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: It's not the nebula I'm worried about.  It's what could be hiding inside.  Not sure what happened, but trying to be ready for what we're most likely to encounter.

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
::Senses a bit of uneasiness in the XO, but pushes it aside.::  XO:  Yes, Sir.  But it's hard to get accurate scans within the nebula.  Perhaps once we get closer .. ::voice trails off and continues to search.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: As paranoid as ever I see. ::Grins.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
FCO:  Get ready to start the search pattern once we reach the nebula.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
XO: Understood, Sir.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Professor Fiddlebink always said, it's not paranoia, it's preparedness.  Then again, he did go on that leave after all the yelling of "they're after me!"  ::Smiles.::

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
FCO:  I am not detecting any other vessels in the area.
CTO:  Do you think Starfleet has issued a warning and are diverting travel around the area?

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
::Inputs a search pattern into the navicomputer.::

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
Quietly to self:  This is eerie .. we're all alone.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CSO: Neither am I ....wait....I have a faint echo of something.

CNS_Ltjg_Talora says:
::Looks over to the CSO.:: CSO: But, wouldn't that mean that they know something we don't?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Shakes her head at Icky's comment.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CSO: Is that our missing ship?

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
CNS:  Well technically speaking, Lieutenant, if Starfleet felt there was a threat to the area, they would divert traffic from the area.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
XO: It is possible, but it isn't clear yet.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CSO: Nothing on the reports, so far it's MIA ship.  No reason to steer ships clear.  Yet, anyway.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CSO: Direct sensors toward that echo.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CTO: I am getting a faint echo but can't narrow it down.

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
XO:  I see a faint echo coming from the nebula, but there is nothing to indicate that it is not the nebula itself, or that it could be our missing ship.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
CSO: Can you tell us what we might expect the Nebula to do to our systems, other than obscure sensors?

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
CO:  Aye, Captain.  ::Redirects and narrows scans at the echo.::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
FCO:  Send out a general hail... maybe they'll hear it and answer us.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CO: Yes, Sir.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
COM: This is USS Huron: Unknown vessel do you need assistance?

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO:  Ready shields and weapons.  We don't want to be off guard.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CSO: If sensors can't penetrate at this distance, we could send a probe.  Should allow much better resolution, especially once it gets past the gasses.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CO: I get nothing other than static.

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
CTO:  Aye, Commander.  ::Nods to him.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Aye sir, going to Yellow alert, shields up, weapons on ready.  ::Activates shields and prepares weapons.::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
FCO: Switch to auto-hail.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CSO: Report as soon as you have a probe ready

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CO: Yes sir, switching to repeating hails.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
::Switches to automated hails.::

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
CEO:  This nebula appears to be new.  It just suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and the science vessel Buttersworth was sent to the nebula to research it.  Right now, until we get closer, I can't predict what would happen.  However, I would recommend at this point before proceeding into the nebula that we use a probe.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Continues to work on keeping the ship systems at peak performance.::

ACTION: The Huron reaches the outskirts of the Nebula.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CO: We have arrived at the outskirts of the nebula, sir.

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
XO:  Science probe is ready, Sir, to be deployed on Command's order.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CSO: Now, my degree may be in comparative literature, but don't nebulas usually not appear out of nowhere?

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO:  Recommend holding position.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CTO:  Commander, drop a homing beacon.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
FCO:  Keep us outside the nebula for now.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Nods to the CSO then looks at the XO.:: XO: Sir, until we know what is inside the nebula, staying here would be a prudent decision.::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CSO: Continue with the scans.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Aye Captain, updating ship log and putting a copy in the beacon, will launch momentarily.

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
CTO:  That is correct, Commander.  But we have no information at this point to tell us how it got here.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Launches beacon.::

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CO: Understood sir.  ::Brings the Huron to a holding pattern outside the nebula.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO: Probe ready to launch at the echo.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
XO: Launch.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
::Rubs her growing belly gently and smiles.::

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CO: Still no response to our hails.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CSO:  Launch probe, and report anything.  And relay our hail through it.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CSO: Any gravitational spikes detected, either before the nebula showed up or now?

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
::Nods to the CO and XO, and launches the probe with communication relay into the direction of the echo.::

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
::Tugs at her tunic as it is a bit tight.::

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
CO/XO:  I am detecting negative energy coming from the nebula.  

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
Self: I got to start to wear my maternity uniforms now.  Bloody murder.

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
Out loud:  Hmmm??  

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Continues to coordinate with engineering.::

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
CO/XO:  If the probe is working correctly, there is no density in the nebula.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CSO:  Okay, so what does that mean?  I'm no scientist.

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
CO/XO:  Probe about to enter the nebula now.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Just to be on the safe side, going into full, Active scans of local space.  If the Buttersworth was attacked, at least it might give us a warning.

ACTION: The probe fries as it enters the nebula.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Nods toward the CTO.::

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
CTO:  Sir, what happened to my probe?  Do you have it on your sensors, cause mine show it's gone.

ACTION: From the Nebula, a small meter long piece of machinery floats out, emitting a faint distress signal.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
XO: Sir, energy reading from the probe just stopped.

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
CTO:  And no, sir.  No gravitational spikes were detected.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CEO: What’s the cause?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
XO: Unknown at this time, Commander.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CSO: Initial look shows it didn't survive entering the nebula.  But I think we have a distress beacon.

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
::Looks again.::  CTO:  Has it entered the nebula yet?

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CTO:  Distress beacon?  From where?

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CSO: I think so, but can't get a good reading.  Kinda ironic, considering that's why we sent it in.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Small object, about a meter long, coming out.  Locking on Tractors if you want it pulled in.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CSO:  Life signs?

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
XO:  It could mean it's a barrier of some kind.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CO: I got the buoy and it is an emergency buoy.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CTO: Engage the tractor, but hold the object off the port bow.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CO: My scans say it is safe to bring on board.

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
::Searches for life signs.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Aye Captain, will hold 10,000 meters off port bow.  ::Activates beam and pulls the beacon closer.::

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
XO:  No life signs, Sir.  

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO: Is it federation?

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
Self:  Definitely not big enough, unless they're midgets ::Snickers to herself.::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CTO:  Double check the sensor readings on that buoy.  If it's all clear, then bring it into the cargo bay.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Aye sir.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Federation origin, affirmative.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO: Our ship is definitely in there then.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Running a full scan for any threats, should be done in a few seconds.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CSO: Is there anyway to get scans into the nebula?

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Looks clear, bringing it in to cargo bay.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Examines the readings on her screen.::

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
::Smiles as she feels them kicking.::

CNS_Ltjg_Talora says:
CO: If it's an emergency buoy, it might have a recording, sir.

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
XO:  Not without going in there, Sir.  And from the looks of what happened to our probe, at this point, until we can find out what caused it to explode, I would not suggest that.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CEO: Check out that beacon; see what you can learn from it.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
::Thinks to self, gonna be fighters and I hope boys.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
XO: Aye sir, on my way.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CNS:  That it might Counselor, that's why once I know it's safe we'll be bringing it on board.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Stands and heads to the turbo lift.::

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
::Searches for any weaknesses in the nebula to determine if there is a better path to deploy another probe.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
Computer: Cargo bay one.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CSO:  Prepare another probe.  Have shields applied to it.  See if that makes a difference.

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
XO:  Aye, Commander.  I'm also searching for areas of the nebula which may indicate a weaker place to penetrate.  ::Sends the notice to the science department.::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CSO: How much weaker than 'no density' does one need?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Grabs a tricorder as she enters the cargo bay and moves towards the beacon.::

ACTION: The heavily charred emergency buoy sits in the cargo bay.

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
CO:  Well, Captain, inside the nebula there is no density that I am reading, but it's hard to get a fix if that's the whole nebula or just the area that I was directing scans at.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Bends down to examine it closely.:: Self: Hmmm, that's interesting.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CSO: What reading are you getting, Cmdr.  ::Walking to the station.::

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CO: Sometimes sir a nebula can have no density but you can't penetrate it.    Question is just what makes up this nebula and then how do we penetrate it.  But then I am not a scientist.

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
CO:  The negative energy is acting like a barrier.  ::Points to the scan on her console.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says: 
CSO: No density, could that mean there's nothing there?

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
CO:  And since the probe was not able to penetrate the nebula, I am pretty sure that we should not try to enter either.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CSO: I just had a thought.  Could this nebula be alive?

CNS_Ltjg_Talora says:
FCO: That's crazy.

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
XO:  Science has just sent me the message.  Shielded probe is ready, Sir.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Pulls out one of her famous hairpins and scratches the charred surface revealing something.::

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
CTO:  No density, no mass, no life .. at least not that we know of.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*: Anything on that beacon?

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CNS: No, it is not.  What I mean to say is maybe this nebula is intelligent.  Exactly as the CSO said no life as we know it.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CSO: Launch it, and watch it closely.  Full active scans while it travels into the nebula.

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
FCO:  Uncertain at this point, but I would not think so.  Life forms give off positive energy.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CSO: Can it be fake?  I mean, it's not impossible to make a sensor "ghost" image, tactical exercises do it all the time.  Just not normally on this scale.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*XO*: As a matter of fact there is, sir.

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
::Nods to the XO, and launches the probe.::  XO:  Probe launched.

ACTION: The shielded probe enters the nebula, sending back science readings.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CSO: Yes, but negative energy comes from evil things.  There in the reason why we can not enter and the science vessel exit.

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
CTO:  Nope .. I'm pretty sure this is not fake.  

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  Report.

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
ALL:  Probe has entered the nebula.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CSO: Good, what are you getting?

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
::Sighs.::  XO:  Nothing, Sir.  No density .. no mass .. no life signs.  ::Perks up.::  But the good news is .. our shields "should" keep us intact if you want to go explore now!

ACTION: The Huron loses all contact with the shielded probe.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*XO*: It's the usual recording beacon and it's mostly in tact. I've managed to scrape off some charring and there's a name on it.. But...orth.... Is that the ship we're searching for?

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
ALL:  And .. the shield has disappeared from my sensors.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
Out loud: Oh hell. Where did it go?

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
FCO:  I'm guessing it's still there, but something is shielding the scan results from returning to us.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Says the name of the ship to himself.::  *CEO*  It could be; that’s the end of the name.  Anything else about it?

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CSO: We get any readings on what that "barrier" is?

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
CTO:  Negative, Sir.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CSO: Like a dampening field?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*XO*: I'm working on extracting the recording and will bring it up when I can.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CSO: Run the scans from the probe through the computer.  There must have been something there.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  Okay, I want that recording analyzed.

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
::Nods to the XO, and runs a comparison on both probes before and up to the point of contact with the nebula, and then analyzing the results of the 2nd probe after it entered.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*XO*: Better yet, let me try playing it through here. Science should be getting the data now!

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO: Are there any kind of power readings at all coming from the nebula.  No matter how small?

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
FCO:  I wouldn't think so, Commander.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  Let’s hear it.         

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: I'll check.  ::Scans the nebula for any power readings.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CSO:  Look that data over.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Listens to the recording as well.::  *XO*: Done sir.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
::One of the babies kicks hard and she grimaces in pain.::

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
XO:  There is nothing different about the data.  I am sending it to science to do more detailed review on the scans, Sir.

ACTION: One Garbled recording. Only a few words here and there. Voices sound frantic, and chaotic. A voice then clearly heard, “Thou Shalt not defy me. I am He who is.” Then recording cuts there.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
::Blinks.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Out loud: Great, someone thinks he is God.

CNS_Ltjg_Talora says:
All: Sign of a delusional mind...

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
FCO:  Are you all right, Ma'am?  ::Notices the look of pain on her face.::

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CSO: Yes Commander my baby just kicked me a little hard.  ::smiles:

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
XO: Not just any god...Apollo.

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
FCO:  Friend of yours?

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
FCO: And what’s makes you think its someone called Apollo>

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: How can you tell?  No names, and there are a lot of "gods" out there.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Starts thinking of a history lesson from the Academy.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  If there is nothing else about the beacon, have the cargo bay secure it and get back up here.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
XO: If I remember my Greek mythology, Apollo was supposed to be next to Zeus in line.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Scratches the side of the device a little more.:: *XO*: Understood Commander, on my way.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
FCO:  There are a number of Gods that different races believe.  Why do you think this one is Apollo?

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
FCO:  You refer to ancient earth history, I believe.  I'm not so sure we should consider this an earthly God.  In fact, there's nothing to support it is nothing more than a recording at this point.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Orders the bay crew and security to secure the beacon as she returns to the bridge.::

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
XO: I don't know but it sounds like what he would say.  Thou shall not defy me....but then I could be wrong and it might not be a god at all but something evil.

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
CO:  Sir, the probe entered the nebula.  If we want to get a more thorough look into the nebula, I would suggest either an away team aboard a shuttle or sending the Huron in.  And I would volunteer to head up that science team.  

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CSO:  I don't want to risk the ship or a shuttle just yet, Commander.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
::Blinks.::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CSO:  Commander, bring up Starfleet’s personnel file on Ambassador Spock... specifically his siblings.

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
::Looks at the XO, and then back at the CO.::  CO:  Yes, Sir.  ::Pulls up the data files on Ambassador Spock's siblings.::

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CO: You thinking of Surok or Sybok?

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Goes to the captain.:: CO: Is there something about this Vulcan I am not aware of, sir.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Steps out onto the bridge and walks to the XO's chair.:: XO: Sir, I managed to get the rest of the name from the beacon. It's the Buttersworth.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
FCO:  Sybok! That was his name!  Cross reference any information on Sybok with early missions of the Enterprise A.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CEO:  Very good, Commander; seems we have found where they are anyway.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CSO: I think we could hold the door open.  Send another shielded probe, but enhance the shields with the Tractor Beams.  Should keep its transmissions harder to block.

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
CTO:  Aye, that's an idea I hadn't thought of.  ::Looks to the CO/XO for an okay.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CSO: Do it.  Launch when ready.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Shrugs.::  All: We have more probes than shuttles.

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
::Sends the information to science to prepare another shielded probe.::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CTO:  And probes are easier to replace.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Returns to her station wondering what is happening.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CSO:  And launch a 2nd one right behind to monitor the first.  Keep it back.  So it can see what happens when we lose it.

CNS_Ltjg_Talora says:
CO:  If I remember Sybok at all, he hijacked the Enterprise-A on a quest for....the Vulcan name for ::Sudden realization:: Eden!

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
::Nods to the XO, and sends the order.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Transferring max power to the Tractors, all they can handle.  And using 2 emitters.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CNS: Yes, you are quite correct, counselor.

CNS_Ltjg_Talora says:
FCO: Species nature was a required class for me to take.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CNS: QI'tu, yes.  They found something that claimed to be a god.

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
CTO:  Both probes are ready for launch on your ready, Sir.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CO: Okay, so if my memory serves, Sybok died in 2287 so maybe this nebula is not a nebula at all.  Maybe it is Eden that we have found.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CSO:  Put the view from the 2nd probe on screen.  Let’s see what it sees.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CSO: Ready, tractor control is being synchronized to probe launch control program.

CNS_Ltjg_Talora says:
CO: Eden, sir....remember back a couple of missions ago? THAT Eden?

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
CTO:  Launching in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and launching probe number one!

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
FCO:  Not Eden, but whatever it was that had been trapped there.  Perhaps it found a way to escape.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Checks to ensure the Tractors are re-enforcing the probe.::  CSO: Tractors doing their stuff.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CNS: And yes, Counselor, the thought had not escaped me.

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
CTO:  Launching 2nd probe in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and launching probe number two!  

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CO: In Vulcan it would be called Sha Ka Ree.

CSO_Cmdr_Sommers-Naug says:
XO:  Viewer from 2nd probe, on screen.  ::Places on viewscreen, and nods to CTO.::

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CO: And if I remember it correctly the entity was evil.

ACTION: The screen shows the Probe entering the dark green nebula. After a few seconds within. The screen goes blank.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Thinks this all pure speculation at this point.::
