FCO_Johns says:
CO: Course ;laid in and plotted to testing areas , warp 2

CMOBrooks says:
CO: understood sir.

CTO-James says:
CO-Braun: And what will we be looking for?  

CO_Braun says:
CTO:  Mr. James, keep and eye on those sensors... since we don't have a science officer at present you will have to do both...

CO_Braun says:
CTO:  Focus on any disruptions of the time/space continuum...

CTO-James says:
CO_Braun: Yes sir.

CMOBrooks says:
CO: sir, if you don't mind. Iam heading to sickbay. Not unless you want me to stay on the bridge, sir.

CO_Braun says:
FCO:  What is our ETA...?

CTO-James says:
::Begins long and short range scans::

Host Yates says:
<ACTION>Huron moves from dock into the darkness of space.

CO_Braun says:
CMO:  Yes, that is fine...

CTO-James says:
::while obsevering the the data coming in notices the warp field is starting to get disrupted::

CMOBrooks says:

Host Yates says:
::movement in the warp core slows slightly::

CMOBrooks says:
::heads to the TL::

FCO_Johns says:
::Banks slightly to avaoid unwanted gravometric effects ::

Ops_Mavin says:
::notices how efficiently the crew is working together::

FCO_Johns says:
OPS: I am readying an oddity in the warp field

CMOBrooks says:
::enters TL:: TL: sickbay

CTO-James says:
CO-Braun: Sir.  It looks like the star is disrupting or warp field.

FCO_Johns says:
CO: We are loosing speed slightly

CPO_Yates says:
:: runs diagnostic level3 on the core::

Ops_Mavin says:
Johns:  What sort of oddity?  Power levels look okay....

CO_Braun says:
FCO:  Slow your approach... we don't really want to rush headlong into danger...

FCO_Johns says:
OPS: Just know it by what my readouts tell me

CO_Braun says:
CTO:  Can you get me any more data on that oddity...?

FCO_Johns says:
CO: Cutting back to warp 3

CTO-James says:
CO-Braun: Yes sir.

FCO_Johns says:
::cuts to Warp 3 ::

CMOBrooks says:
::TL stops and doors open as she steps out into the sickbay::

CPO_Yates says:
*OPS* We have intermix malfunction down here.

Ops_Mavin says:
FCO:  I'll keep monitoring...

CTO-James says:

Host Yates says:
<ACTION> The warp core's colors move sluggishly, angrily.

CPO_Yates says:
:: taps some controls::

Ops_Mavin says:
*Yates*  Can you compensate?

CO_Braun says:
FCO:  Any problems with handling the ship...?

CPO_Yates says:
*OPS* working on it ma'am

FCO_Johns says:
CO: She is handling a bit out of spec, might be gravometric distortions in the area, sir

Ops_Mavin says:
::frowns at being called ma'am::  *Yates*  I'm rerouting power to your area; keep me posted

CPO_Yates says:
:: notes the reaction energy getting worse::

CO_Braun says:
FCO:  Steady as she goes...

FCO_Johns says:
CO: Compensating sir

CTO-James says:
CO-Braun: I getting a signal from where I don't know yet.

Host Yates says:
<Action>Core slows almost to a stop.

CPO_Yates says:
:: Thinks, What did that TR chief say? ::

CO_Braun says:
CTO:  What kind of signal...?

CTO-James says:
::Tries to locate the signal::

FCO_Johns says:
OPS: What is going on down there ? ? It is as if we are loosing warp fields

Ops_Mavin says:
::notes Core readings::  *Yates* What's going on down there?

CTO-James says:
CO-Braun: not sure sir.

FCO_Johns says:
CO: We are goiung to drop from Warp

Ops_Mavin says:
Johnson:  Not sure.

CPO_Yates says:
*Bridge* I can't seem to stabilize the core. We're loosing reaction!

Host Yates says:
ACTION: Yates' panel expldoes as relays spark in engineering.

CO_Braun says:
:: nods :: FCO:  Go to impulse, and keep an eye on those gravity fields...

CTO-James says:
CO-Braun: Got it.  It's an old earth-style transmission.

CPO_Yates says:
::flys against the wall from the force of the explosion::

CO_Braun says:
ALL:  Odd!

FCO_Johns says:
CO: Aye, sir

CO_Braun says:
CTO:  Play it...

CTO-James says:
computer2: Begin recording of transmisson.

CTO-James says:
::Puts it on the intercom::

CPO_Yates says:
:: hot plasma burns into tissues::

FCO_Johns says:
::feels the ship shake ::

Ops_Mavin says:
::notes reading from warp core::  CO:  There's been an explosion!

CTO-James says:
::Truns around when he hears explosion::

CO_Braun says:
OPS:  Have damage control teams head for engineering...

FCO_Johns says:
CO: Shall I head out of this well ?

Host actd_norm says:
<ACTION>Huron suddenly ceases shaking, the warp field collapses.

CTO-James says:
CO-Bruan: Want me to report to engineering?

CPO_Yates says:
::with last strength taps comm badge:: *SB* med..icl.. ennnnginneering

Ops_Mavin says:
CO:  Ordering them out now.  ::dispatches damage control::

CO_Braun says:
*CMO*  Doctor?  There ahs been an explosion in engineering, probably with casualties, please see if they need your assistance...

CMOBrooks says:
*CO* Aye Sir.

CPO_Yates says:
::succumbs to the pain and faints::

Ops_Mavin says:
CO:  I'm minimizing power to the affected area, til we figure out what's happening

CO_Braun says:
FCO:  Yes, get us away before it gets any worse...

CTO-James says:
::Notices the signal is an SOS:: CO-Braun: Its and SOS signal.

FCO_Johns says:
CO: Aye Sir ::engages an altermnate track ::

CO_Braun says:
CTO:  I need you here on those sensors...

CTO-James says:
CO-Braun: Yes sir.

Host actd_norm says:
ACTION: The signal gets stronger

CO_Braun says:
CTO:  Tell me about that SOS...

CTO-James says:
CO-Braun: Shall I open a com link.

CO_Braun says:
CTO:  By all means Mr. Jones...

CPO_Yates says:
<ENG_mate> :: peers through smoke::

CMOBrooks says:
*CPO* CMO to CPO: come in

CTO-James says:
::Opens a com link:: CO-Braun: Com link open broadcasting all wave bands.

FCO_Johns says:
::Plots a course towards the signal in case :::

CMOBrooks says:
*CPO* on my way

FCO_Johns says:
::Prays for the stablity of the Impulse engines ::

CTO-James says:
CO-Braun: I'm picking up a small metical mass moving towards us or we at it.

Ops_Mavin says:
CO:  I'll head down there, direct the damage control teams, see what's happening, if you like?

CPO_Yates says:
<ENG_Mate> :: trys to help Yates::

CTO-James says:
CO-Braun: its tranmiting only no receiving.

CO_Braun says:
:: nods :: OPS:  Yes, they probably need all the help they can get...

CO_Braun says:
CTO:  Is it a ship...?

Ops_Mavin says:
::exits bridge on the double, headed to ME::

CMOBrooks says:
