OPS_Kerst says:
ALL:  I repeat, we are on the other side of the Romulan Empire.

CEO_Corjet says:
*CO* Sir?  ::Takes a deep breath:: We have major damages.  Most are due to power transfer conduit damage and breaches.  I've vented drive plasma and power plasma to prevent the spread of plasma fires and in hopes to prevent any more injuries or deaths.  I'll send you the list of systems failures.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Standing on the Bridge of the Erie:: OPS: You have the Bridge.  Commander Pavielion, Commander Danforth, please join me in the Ready Room.  ::Turns and walks to a locker and extracts a manual power pack and then opens the Ready Room doors manually::

CTO_Marek says:
::Raises an eyebrow to the OPS::

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Moves toward big chair, wondering if there much of a ship left to run::

CIV_Danforth says:
::On the Bridge at one of the science stations::

FCO_Stricker says:
::On the Bridge fixing the conn::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Taps on his tricorder and sends the damage report to the CO and senior staff:: *CO* Sending the data to the senior staff too.  ::Sighs:: The only thing really working is the emergency power system.  It's holding life support at 10%, and keeping the anti-matter pods stabilized.  ::Looks to his senior engineers and waves them to work::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Looks up towards the Captain, hands his station over to an SO and heads toward the Ready Room::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*CEO* Acknowledged.

CTO_Marek says:
::Working hard to put his console back online::

CIV_Danforth says:
*CO* Yes, Sir.  ::Heads immediately toward the Ready Room::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Watches as his Damage Control Teams go into action::

CNS_Toni says:
::In her office working on rationing plans to report to the CO:

OPS_Kerst says:
CTO: Any signs of anything out there?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Sits down behind her desk::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Enters the Captain's Ready Room::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO/CIV: Sit down, gentlemen.  ::Motions to the chairs::  I would offer you a beverage, however the replicators are offline.  ::Raises an eyebrow::

CTO_Marek says:
*CEO* Please, Commander, I know you should be really busy by now, but please, see to assigning a Damage Control Team to take care of the repairing of the shields systems.  You'll understand that is vital right now.

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Sits down as instructed::

FCO_Stricker says:
OPS: It will take only ten more minutes until the conn is fixed and then I'll work on those engines in Main Engineering, Sir.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Takes a seat at the Captain's request::  CO: Thank you, Sir.

MO_Sovok says:
::Limps on his semi-fixed leg and walks into the dark Sickbay::

CTO_Marek says:
OPS: Hard to tell, Kerst, short-range sensor are offline.  Working on that right now.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Heads to the warp core and over sees the replacement of the fusion initiators.  Then heads back to the Master Situation Monitor and taps on it wondering if it'll work.  Sighs and heads back to the Impulse Engines Display panel.  Shakes his head and heads to his office.  Grabs his Engineer’s Toolkit and his supplementary toolkit.::

OPS_Kerst says:
FCO: Get the conn working but stay here until we know our situation better.

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: Not necessary, Sir.  I'm sure Mr. Kerst is hard at work fixing the ship.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO/CIV: I will get right down to business.  What is our status with the Romulan Empire since the war's end?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Stops in his tracks:: *CTO* Aye.  I've already seen to it.  Damage Control Team Alpha 09 is on it.  I think they said approximately 4 hours.  ::Scratches his head and continues::

FCO_Stricker says:
OPS: Yes Sir, will do.  ::Continues the repairs::

CTO_Marek says:
*CEO* Thanks, Commander.

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO Chad> ::Watches the Damage Control Teams work on the warp core.  Then starts assisting them because he feels its urgent::

MO_Sovok says:
::Decides to go say hello to his old senior officer and walks out to the turbolift and enters:: Computer: Main Engineering.

CIV_Danforth says:
::Looks over at the CSO before speaking:: CO: Well, Sir, it's the position of Starfleet Intelligence that although our war with the Dominion is over, we are still on very rocky terms with the Romulans.  We may have been temporary allies, but that's all we were.

CTO_Marek says:
::Opens the panel under his console and begins to check all the isolinear boards::  Self: What a mess.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Tries to recall from memory::  CO: Souring, they only sided with us because they understood they would be destroyed if not.  Now that it's over, I believe we're right back to where we were.  ::Sighs at the thought::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Nods as she listens to the CIV and CSO speak::

OPS_Kerst says:
*CEO* I know you're busy with, well everything, but some sensors would be nice.  We're blind as a bat and near hostile territory. I'd like to see it coming if we can.

FCO_Stricker says:
::Walks to the other side of the conn and starts to reconnect the circuits::

MO_Sovok says:
::Arrives in Main Engineering and steps out of the turbolift, looking around::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Starts working on the power transfer conduits.  Making sure that they've discovered all the breaches:: Self: At least there isn't any plasma to get in the way.  ::Taps a few commands into the console::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Listens to the CIV, agrees::

CTO_Marek says:
OPS: Commander, please, as soon as you got some extra power to "spare" ::Raises an eyebrow:: I would like that to be rerouted to tactical systems.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Nods as she listens to the CSO::  CIV/CSO: Here is our dilemma.  We have experimental equipment on board.  We cannot risk it falling into the hands of an enemy of the Federation.  This is why I have not yet sent out a communication to Starfleet Command nor Kootenai Station.  I will not risk discovery, at least not until we are battle-ready.

MO_Sovok says:
CEO: Hello Sir, it's been a long time.

CTO_Marek says:
::Goes back to his console::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Laughs ruefully:: *OPS* Aye, Mr. Kerst, I am.  Try reconfiguring the navigational sensors.  I’m sure you can do something with them.  ::Turns and sees Sovok::

FCO_Stricker says:
::Sits at the conn:: Computer, what is the status of the conn after my repairs to the circuits?

CEO_Corjet says:
MO: Hello. ::Turns back to his console and pulls out a plasma phase calibrator.  Opens an access panel and calibrates the phase inducers:: MO: What can I do for you?

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO Jo> ::Looks around and smiles as his Damage Control Team is working as fast and efficiently as possible.  Smiles with pride and continues to help them::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CIV/CSO: What is our status with the Klingon Empire?

OPS_Kerst says:
CTO: I'll see, but I wonder what kind of shape the power conduits to the weapons are in. That will determine when we get weapons. Lets try reconfiguring the NAV sensors maybe we can see something.

CTO_Marek says:
::Sees an engineering crewman entering the Bridge:: Crewman: Can you give me a hand here?

MO_Sovok says:
CEO: I was just wondering if you needed some help with repairs, as I use to be your EO. There’s no emergency in Sickbay right now and you look like you need all the help you can get.

FCO_Stricker says:
<Computer> FCO: The helm control system is functioning within normal parameters.

CTO_Marek says:
OPS: Working on that.  ::Mumbles something about the isolinear boards designers::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Unfastens the wrist beacon and sets it on her desk::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks up and smiles:: MO: Sure.  Try the turbolifts, that'll help in getting our crew around.  ::Waves over to a locker::  You know where everything is at. ::Leans back into the access panel and makes more adjustments::

FCO_Stricker says:
Computer: Thank you.  ::Turns to OPS:: OPS: Repairs are done to the conn, Sir!

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CIV: Mr. Danforth?

CNS_Toni says:
::Sending finished report to Captain Mitchell::

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: I'd have to say fairly positive.  Right now, we can depend on the Empire to assist us if there was a mutual threat.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Looks towards the CIV::  CO: The Klingons seem more friendly than the Romulans, they would be more willing to help us as long as we appear "honorable" to them though we don't know what our relations will be with them by the time we reach their space.

OPS_Kerst says:
FCO: Good, try scanning the local area for, anything.  Lets see what's out there.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Nods to the CSO::

CTO_Marek says:
::Sees the nav system reports:: Self: Let’s have a look at this.

MO_Sovok says:
::Walks over to the locker and grabs an engineering kit, walking back over to the turbolift control access panel and sits down, beginning to work::

CIV_Danforth says:
::Nodding:: CO: I agree with Mr. Pavielion's assessment of the situation.

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Over a year and a half is a long time.  A lot can change in that time.

CNS_Toni says:
*MO* I have just reported to the Captain my recommendations on rations and I need some information from you to complete it.

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO Jo> ::Re-assigns a crewman to start supervising the work with the warp core's fusion initiators:: EO: I’m heading to the Impulse engines.  Let Randy or myself know when you’re done.  ::Exits and heads to the impulse engine room::

CEO_Corjet says:
<Damage Control Team Beta01> ::Starts replacing and fixing the shield emitters, exterior to the ship::

FCO_Stricker says:
OPS: Navigational sensors have detected a G4V star system with several planets surrounding. It's a light year and half away, Sir!

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Nods::  CSO/CIV: How far are we from the Klingon border?

MO_Sovok says:
::Taps his COM badge:: *CNS* Okay.

OPS_Kerst says:
FCO: Well, it's a start.  Do we have any propulsion yet?

CTO_Marek says:
OPS: I'm getting some anomalous readings from that star.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Taps the desktop terminal and is surprised it is working.  Glances quickly at the Rationing Plan the CNS just sent and approves it.  Sends the approval back to the CNS::

CNS_Toni says:
*MO* What is the least amount of water the human body will require to sustain life for long periods of time?

FCO_Stricker says:
OPS: No, Sir but I do need to go to Main Engineering to do those repairs.

OPS_Kerst says:
CTO: Anomalous, how, could it be another transwarp conduit?

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO Jo> ::Arrives in the impulse engine room and smiles as he sees the engineers working as fast and efficiently as possible::  Engineers: No need to  tell you.  ::They look back to him for a moment::  Great job!  ::Walks around and makes notes on the repairs::

CTO_Marek says:
OPS: Just a minute.

FCO_Stricker says:
OPS: Confirms the reading from the CTO.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Tries to calculate the time it would take to reach them::

MO_Sovok says:
::Sighs and looks at the Dead gel pack, removes it and walks over to the CEO Again:: *CNS* It really depends on their caloric intake, but about four cups a day is nice for a 1000 calorie diet.

CEO_Corjet says:
<DCT B01>::Is happy they've brought some shield grid emitters with them.  They pull out the old burnt out ones and start replacing them::

MO_Sovok says:
CEO: Sir, do we have any spare gel packs?  This one’s fried.

OPS_Kerst says:
*CEO* Best guess as to when we might get some propulsion?  If you need him FCO Stricker will help repair them.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Turns to the MO and looks at the gel pack.  Shakes his head and sighs::  MO: Yes, set that one in my office.  There's a locker just behind my office.  They're in there.  ::Turns back to working on the conduits::

CTO_Marek says:
OPS: High levels of carbon dioxide are detected in its atmosphere, unusually high levels.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Reads over the damage and repair estimates waiting for the CSO and the CIV to answer her question::

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: I'd venture we are still quite a bit far away from either the Klingons or the Federation.

CNS_Toni says:
*MO* How will this affect our body’s responses?

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: Maybe a year at best?  What is your estimate, Mr. Pavielion?

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: An exact ETA, I'm not sure, though it shouldn't be more than a couple extra months, most likely 1.7-1.8 years.  Though I would still rather take my chances with them than the Romulans.

OPS_Kerst says:
CTO: Like from pollution, a civilization maybe?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Nods as she listens to the CIV, tapping the button on her terminal::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Grunts as he reaches for the last set of phase inducers:: *OPS* Ahh.. ::Grunts again:: Ahh.. ::Pauses:: well, I think  EO Chad is on the impulse engines.  ::Laughs again:: Yes, he is.  ::Hopes he is as he’s too busy::  Check with him.

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Or we could go around altogether, though that would nearly triple the travel time.

CTO_Marek says:
OPS: Hard to tell yet, Kerst, sensors need a recalibration.

MO_Sovok says:
*CNS* They Should adapt well, nothing too bad unless they consume massive amounts of water each day.  The change shouldn’t really affect them.  ::Walks into the CEOs Office and sets the gel pack down, grabbing a new one out of the locker and walking back to the turbolift access hatch::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: That is not an option.  ::Ponders::

CEO_Corjet says:
<DCT B01> ::Finalizes the repairs to the shield emitter grid then returns to the ship::

OPS_Kerst says:
*EO Chad* Estimates on when we’ll see some propulsion and do you need another hand with those engines?

FCO_Stricker says:
OPS: The Captain told me I needed to repair them.  ::Looks at the OPS::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO/CIV: I believe it would increase our chances of getting back to the station in one piece if we headed for the Klingon border.  Do you agree?

OPS_Kerst says:
FCO: Then go, but come back when they’re online.  I think we'll be traveling as soon as we can.

CNS_Toni says:
*MO* Good, well I will recommend that a ration of about 4 cups of water be allowed as a maximum until we see our way out of this situation, agreed?

OPS_Kerst says:
::Heads for OPS station::

FCO_Stricker says:
::Stands up from the console at attention:: OPS: Aye, Sir!

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO Chad> ::Walks over the Impulse engine systems and finalizes the repairs with his signature.  Waits till he's done:: *OPS* Just about 20 more minutes for Impulse engines.  I need to run one last level 1 diagnostic on them, Sir.  ::Walks over to an assistant engineer and looks over the data::

CTO_Marek says:
::Sees the indicator blinking in his console:: OPS: Shields are on line.  Working on its configuration right now.

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: Yes, Sir.

MO_Sovok says:
*CNS* That seems reasonable to me.

FCO_Stricker says:
::Walks into a turbolift:: Main Engineering on the double!

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: I do believe and agree that the Klingon government would be more hospitable than the Romulans; however, there are many houses that do not approve of the friendship with the Federation, one of these houses could take it upon themselves to intercept us with the Romulans there would not be this problem.

OPS_Kerst says:
CTO: great news. I'm going to try to reset the sensors and see if can't get a better picture.

CEO_Corjet says:
<DCT A01 to DCT A08> ::Have finished their repairs with the minor breaches of the power transfer conduits.  They check their work once more as they need to be sure::

CTO_Marek says:
OPS: Let me help you. 

CNS_Toni says:
*MO* Thanks for your input, West, out.

MO_Sovok says:
::Removes some Isolinear chips and rearranges them, finally replaces the gel pack and inserts the final chip.  Watches as the display lights up:: Self: Yes!

OPS_Kerst says:
::With CTO helps they reset and recalibrate the sensors::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO/CIV: Perhaps, however I believe we can count on the support of the Klingon High to control these rebels.

CTO_Marek says:
::He finishes with the shield modulation, then walks to OPS console::

CNS_Toni says:
::Picks up PADD, begins tapping in more data::

FCO_Stricker says:
::Steps off the turbolift and into Main Engineering:: All in Main Engineering: Okay I'm in charge of getting impulse power online so who's in charge?

MO_Sovok says:
CEO: Sir, I think I've fixed the mainstream turbolifts but I'm not to sure about the less important routes though.

OPS_Kerst says:
CTO: Try reinitializing the sensors now.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Receives the report on the shield grid:: *CTO* Can you check out the shields.  Damage Control Team Beta 01 has reported that they’ve finished with them.  To be on the safe side run a level 1 diagnostic.

CTO_Marek says:
OPS: Doing so.

MO_Sovok says:
::Looks at the FCO and shakes his head:: Self: Some people.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Sighs again::  CO: frankly, I'm still hoping on finding a worm hole nearby, though if not, yes--I do agree that the Klingons are safer to go with, for the time being, than the Romulans.

OPS_Kerst says:
CTO: Are we getting anything more?  ::Silently hopes::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Laughs as he looks up to the FCO:: FCO: EO Chad is working on it.  I think he's almost done.  You can check on the reaction control thrusters.

CTO_Marek says:
*CEO* Thanks a lot, Commander, will do so. Congratulations to your Damage Control Teams on a wonderful job.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Continuous scans for wormholes, Commander, that is, when the sensors are back online.

CTO_Marek says:
OPS: We are getting something from 2nd planet. 

FCO_Stricker says:
MO: Is there something that I said?

MO_Sovok says:
FCO: No, carry on.  ::Walks over to the CEO::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Smiles:: MO: No problem.  Just note which ones are fixed and I'll take care of the rest.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Checks ships power status on main display::

FCO_Stricker says:
CEO: Of course may you show me where that is or shall get an EO on it?

CEO_Corjet says:
*CTO* You’re welcome, Commander, Randy, out.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Stands::  CSO/CIV: Very well, gentlemen, dismissed.

FCO_Stricker says:
MO: I thought so Mr. Sovok.  ::Looks at him oddly::

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Aye, Sir, I've already picked up some interesting readings coming from this sector.  There is one planet that sustains life and another one is well.....unique.  ::Hears the Captain dismiss them::  Aye, Sir.  ::Turns and walks back onto the Bridge::

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO Jo> ::Smiles as the Impulse Engines are back online::*CO/FCO/CEO* Impulse engines are back online, Sirs.

OPS_Kerst says:
CTO: Hey, we have impulse engines back.

CNS_Toni says:
::Looks over report.  Begins transferring to crew messengers and consoles::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Walks out of the Ready Room onto the Bridge:: OPS: Report.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Turns and points to a console:: FCO: Most of what you'll need is right on that console.

MO_Sovok says:
CEO: Will do. ::Picks up a PADD and walks over to a console making notes of the turbolifts that are operational and the ones that aren't.  Ignores the FCO::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Goes back over to his station, checks on the status of the repairs::

CTO_Marek says:
OPS: It is the home of a pre-warp civilization.  Like Earth on the lasts years of the 20th century.

CTO_Marek says:
OPS: Good news.

FCO_Stricker says:
CEO: Thank you, Commander!  ::Sits at the console going over the engines:: *OPS* I've got a report, Sir!

CEO_Corjet says:
FCO: No problem! ::Triple checks his work with the power transfer conduits.  Then smiles and closes the access panel. Heads to the MSD:: *EO*  Chad?  Power generation mode please.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Sir, impulse engines and Shields are back up. We appear to be about 1.5 light years from a star system.  There are some strange readings coming from the inner planets. Possibly one of them is inhabited.

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO Chad> ::Activates the Impulse engines for power generation:: *CEO* Aye, Sir, on stand-by.  ::Monitors their systems::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Hears the CTO::  CTO: Yes, Commander, which is why we must be careful around it, though I'm more interested in the third planet.  I'm getting some strange readings from it, though I can't make much of them with only navigational sensors.

CTO_Marek says:
OPS: I think you should look at the 3rd planet scan results.  You will find them interesting.  ::Points to the console::

XO_Hicks says:
::Returning to the Bridge from repairing a plasma conduit below decks::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
OPS: Interesting, Commander.  ETA to full capacity?

FCO_Stricker says:
*OPS* I'm sure you know, impulse back online and I'm heading back to get the ship to a safe place.  Over!

CTO_Marek says:
CSO: I totally agree with you, Commander.

XO_Hicks says:
::Sits in his chair::  CO: Sir.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Hard to tell, but main power should be back on-line soon.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Sees the XO return to the Bridge and nods:: XO: Commander.  ::Sits down in the command chair::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Starts receiving reports through out the ship that everything is on schedule and most power systems are online:: Self:: Have to check the integrity of the power conduit network. ::Brings up the MSD and watches the automated diagnostics run.  Wipes his brow::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
OPS: Very well, inform me when we are at full power.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

OPS_Kerst says:
CTO: Lets see those scans.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Leans over and whispers to the XO:: XO: I have decided our safest route home is through Klingon space.

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Thanks to CEO's Damage Control Teams we have shields working at 98%. Weapons are still offline.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Looks at CTO's display::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Acknowledged, stay on it, Commander.

FCO_Stricker says:
*CO* Sir, permission to return to my station?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks over at the Copperfield generator and EPI shielding systems:: Self: They can wait... ::Activates his console and enters his command codes::  Okay...

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*FCO* Granted.

XO_Hicks says:
::Whispers back::  CO: I agree with that Sir.  Hopefully they won't give us any trouble.

CTO_Marek says:
::Indicates to OPS the evidences of the presence of an energy ring::

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Sir, once we get our systems back online, I would suggest that we investigate this system more closely, we might find supplies for our long voyage, and since the civilization is still fairly primitive, we can easily avoid them seeing us.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Location of the star system, is it out of our way or in our path?

OPS_Kerst says:
CTO: Have you ever seen anything like that before? ::Points to the ring::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Waits for the last Damage Control Teams to report in about the last few systems of the power distribution network::

FCO_Stricker says:
::Steps out of Main Engineering and onto a turbolift:: Bridge!

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Straight-ahead, Sir, we're already going to have to go through it.

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO Chad> ::Assigns another crewperson to take command of things in the Impulse Engine room:: *CEO*  Shall I come down to Main Engineering, Sir?

OPS_Kerst says:
::Sees phaser come back online with little power, but online::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Whispers:: XO: Agreed, however we may be able to hold off attacks from a few of the Klingon rebels.  That is better than taking a chance facing the entire Romulan Empire.

CTO_Marek says:
OPS: No, but I have read some theories about those energy rings.  It could be useful to us.  If not, at least it would be very interesting to have a look at it.

FCO_Stricker says:
::Steps off the turbolift and onto the Bridge, walks over to the CO:: CO: Permission to return to my station?

XO_Hicks says:
::Pulls up his monitor to check on power and weapons::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Very well.  When all systems are functioning within SF parameters we will investigate this star system.  ::Looks up at the FCO::  FCO: Yes, yes, Lieutenant, granted.

XO_Hicks says:
::Nods to the CO in agreement::

OPS_Kerst says:
CTO: You've got your phasers back.  ::Points:: Too bad there’s no power for them yet.

CEO_Corjet says:
<Damage Control Team Gamma 09> ::Reports in:: *CEO* All power conduit damage is repaired.  All conduits are tuned to specifications.  Ready for complete network initialization Sir.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
XO: ::Frowns::  I understand we lost 8 crewmembers.  Status on our wounded?

CTO_Marek says:
OPS: ::Sees his console:: At least we know they will work... When they have the power, of course.  ::Smiles, but he certainly doesn't know to play jokes::

FCO_Stricker says:
::Sits at the conn::

MO_Sovok says:
::Walks over and hands the PADD to the CEO:: CEO: All done, Sir. That is the list of operating turbolifts.

CEO_Corjet says:
*DCT G09* Aye.  Randy, out.  ::Taps the commands into the MSD and activates the Power Transfer Conduit Network:: Self: Hold together.  ::Looks closely at the console::

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Sir, main sensors arrays are functional once again, I'm currently running full sensor sweeps of surrounding space.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Acknowledged.

CNS_Toni says:
*XO* I have implemented the rationing plan and of food and water and each crewmember should be able to retrieve the plan from their databases at their stations or messengers.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Watches power readings::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Suddenly has an idea go through his head, pulls up a file and begins researching it::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Sighs:: *EO* Chad?  As long as you’ve assigned someone….  ::Says it a bit happily as the power transfer conduit is online and fully operational:: …come on down!

XO_Hicks says:
CO: Unfortunately, Sir.  The wounded are recovering in Sickbay.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
XO: How serious were their injuries?

XO_Hicks says:
*CNS* Very well, Commander, carry on.

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO Chad> ::Peeks into Main Engineering and laughs:: CEO: Here, Sir and yes, I have.  Crewman Dora is in charge.  ::Smiles:: Looks like everything is on schedule, Sir. ::Heads to the warp core::

CTO_Marek says:
::Checks the shields status and modulation::

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Main power nearly restored, but still no warp, yet.

CEO_Corjet says:
EO: Yes, they are. ::Laughs and says playfully:: Get to work!

FCO_Stricker says:
::Monitors the navigational systems::

XO_Hicks says:
CO: Nothing life threatening, those were the lucky ones.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Nods to the XO::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Turns to the FCO:: FCO: Mr. Stricker, plot a course to the Klingon Border.

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO Chad> ::Scurries to the warp core and starts checking in the work:: CEO: Fusion initiators are almost calibrated Sir.. ::Smiles as he looks back::  Looks like your going to lose the bet Commander! ::Nudges an Engineer, who looks to Corjet and smiles::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Shakes his head:: EO: Chad?  Give everyone a 1-hour break!  That’s an order! ::Laughs:: Now who’s going to win the bet?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
XO: Status on the repairs?

FCO_Stricker says:
CO: Yes, Sir, plotting course for the Klingon border.  Standing by to engage engines.

CNS_Toni says:
::Continues on reports::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Focuses the main sensor arrays on the second and third planets::

OPS_Kerst says:
FCO: Fly us carefully, Mr. Stricker, our Structural Integrity Field and Inertial Dampening Fields took quite a beating.  I wouldn't want to stress them too much. I don’t know what they can take anymore.

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO Chad> ::Shakes his head with a smile:: CEO: Sir?  We'd still win! ::Laughs as he thinks about the bet::

XO_Hicks says:
CO: According to my monitor, Commander Corjet has things quite in hand, Sir.  We should be back in business shortly.

MO_Sovok says:
::Motions to the PADD:: CEO: Sir, do you want this?

FCO_Stricker says:
OPS: Of course, Sir, I shall watch those systems.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks over the final power transfer conduit network diagnostics:: EO: Chad?  Power conduits.  ::Sighs and a beep is heard::  Shoot!!!  ::Turns to look to the MO::

MO_Sovok says:
CEO: I asked you before, but I think you were busy.

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO Chad> ::Laughs:: CEO: Warp core is ready for initialization, Sir! ::Smiles as his entire team stands at attention::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Nods to the XO::  XO: I believe we should stay on the food rationing plan.  Replicator priority will be Sickbay and Engineering Departments only.

OPS_Kerst says:
FCO: You'd better, if that SIF fails you be lucky if that chair hold together. ::Grins::

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Sir, the second planet appears to be a normal industrialized civilization, pre-warp, no help to us; but the third planet is giving off some very strange readings, especially from the rings around the planet.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Laughs and shakes his head:: MO: Sovok, sorry, my office please.  ::Turns to look to EO Chad with a frown and snicker::

XO_Hicks says:
CO: Agreed.  We still need all the power we can get at present.

MO_Sovok says:
::Nods:: CEO: Okay, Glad I could be of help.

FCO_Stricker says:
OPS: Sir, I know how to fly and I treat my ship like a lady, nothing rushed or aggressive. ::Smiles::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
XO: Yes, we need to ration everything.  ::Raises an eyebrow::

CTO_Marek says:
::Refines the sensor-scanning pattern and focuses it over the 3rd planet::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks back to his console and taps a few sequences of commands.  Then smiles greatly as the power distribution network comes online:: MO: Sovok, glad to have you here.  Thanks.  ::Turns to EO Chad::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Reads the data as more comes in::

CEO_Corjet says:
EO: Done.  Get down from there and get that snicker off your faces!

XO_Hicks says:
CO: Shall I inform the CEO of this, Sir?  He may have brought the replicators back on line.

OPS_Kerst says:
FCO: Yes but THIS lady has just went three rounds with a Narsician.  She doesn't need any more.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
XO:  Affirmative, Commander.

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO Chad> ::Laughs with his team as they've just won some drinks:: CEO: Aye, Sir! ::Disperses his Engineers::

Host James says:
Action: After a marvelous repair job, all systems are back up to acceptable levels.

CTO_Marek says:
CSO: I would suggest keeping the Ship away from that ring until we have it working at its peak of efficiency.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
FCO: Status of the helm control, sensors and engines?

FCO_Stricker says:
OPS: I am aware of the current situation and trust me, please.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Brings the warp core online, initializing it:: EO: Anti-matter containment? ::Looks to him and laughs:: Punks!

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: All systems are green, not perfect, but they are all working.

FCO_Stricker says:
CO: All at normal functioning abilities, Sir!

Host CO_Mitchell says:
FCO: Very well, Lieutenant, warp 6 to the Klingon Border.  Engage.

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO Chad>::Laughs and sticks his tongue out at Randy, then checks the anti-matter containment:: CEO: Almost to 90% but well within operational standards Sir. ::Taps a few commands into the console::

OPS_Kerst says:
FCO: If I didn't trust you, I'd recommend someone else be sitting there instead. I just worry over my….err…the ship.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Hears the CTO::  CTO: Caution around any planet is warranted, but the rings don't appear dangerous, we'll have to get closer to know for sure, but we should be safe.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
OPS: Open a ship-wide COM.

CTO_Marek says:
::Runs a level-2 diagnostic on the defensive/offensive system::

FCO_Stricker says:
::Sets course for the border and engages warp 6:: CO: We're on our way!

CEO_Corjet says:
*CO/OPS/FCO* Warp core online and fully operational, all systems almost to 100%.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Opens COM system:: Channel open.

CTO_Marek says:
::Nods to the CSO: CSO: Again, I agree with you.

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO Chad> ::Continues with his duties as he starts receiving final repair reports:: EO: Final repair reports coming in Sir. ::Checks off on a crewman’s' PADD with a smile::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*Ship Wide* This is the Captain.  Due to the unknown status of the relationship between the Federation and the Romulan Empire since the Dominion War, I have decided our safest route home would be though Klingon space.  It will take us slightly longer to get home, but our chances are greater.  Mitchell, out.

FCO_Stricker says:
::Turns to the OPS:: OPS: You're just lucky my father was an FCO and I've been flying since I was 10.

MO_Sovok says:
::Walks back to Sickbay and uses one of the mainstream turbolifts::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: ETA to the star system?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Pauses in his tracks as he listens to the Captain then turns to his engineers and smiles as they all head back to their duties::

FCO_Stricker says:
*CEO* Please make sure the warp engines sustain our speed.

XO_Hicks says:
*CEO* Hicks to Randy, come in.

CTO_Marek says:
::Runs some simulations on the phasers systems::

OPS_Kerst says:
FCO; Hmm….6 myself.

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO Chad> ::Smiles at CEO:: CEO: I think I'll have some Aldebran whisky, Sir, 2000 vintage even! ::Laughs::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Scans::  CO: Approximately five minutes, Sir. ::Looks at the scans of the third planet again::

CEO_Corjet says:
*XO* Randy here, Sir. ::Taps at the console::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Acknowledged.

XO_Hicks says:
*CEO* My compliments to you and your team on a job well done, Commander.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Nearly gasps::  Self: It can't be!

CEO_Corjet says:
*FCO* Aye, I'm on it.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
FCO: Slow to impulse as we enter the system.

FCO_Stricker says:
OPS: I started on an X22 flying pods, smooth ride, Sir!

FCO_Stricker says:
CO: Aye, Sir, of course!

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Full scans of the planets.

CEO_Corjet says:
*XO* Thank you, Commander.  Just doing my duties, Sir.  ::Smiles at his engineers:: I have a great team down here.

Host James says:
Action: The Erie arrives at system Beta-476-J-X-00.

FCO_Stricker says:
CO: We've entered the system, I'm slowing to impulse::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
FCO: Acknowledged.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks at his Engineers as they smile with pride:: EO: Ahhh!  They don’t even make that vintage... ::Scratches his head:: I don’t think... ::Looks back to his console::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Offensive and defensive systems status?

FCO_Stricker says:
*CEO* Thank you, Commander! ::Turns to the CO and nods::

CTO_Marek says:
::Hears the FCO/OPS chat:: FCO: I'm surprised. ::Sounds ironic::

XO_Hicks says:
*CEO* But, be advised, the food replicators are to remain off-line and rationing will continue.  Replication will only be restored to Medical and engineering, understood?

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO Chad> ::Says with total sureness, but is lying through his teeth:: CEO: They do..

FCO_Stricker says:
::Turns to the CTO:: CTO: How so, Sir?

OPS_Kerst says:
::Makes sure the ships power system is holding together:

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Shields working at 100%, phasers and photon torpedoes at 95%.  I'd say that is acceptable, Sir.

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Sir, this is highly unusual, the third planet…the rings around it have properties of inverse energy rings.  This is something only hypothesized about, though never actually discovered.  ::Is still in slight awe, runs more scans of the rings::

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Copperfield Generator and EPI screens not tested yet.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Acknowledged.  ::Grins slightly thinking how lucky she is as her crew are miracle workers::

FCO_Stricker says:
::H0old impulse engines::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Interesting indeed, Commander.  Are you detecting any life signs on the planet?

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Turns to FCO quickly::  FCO: the second planet may be primitive to our standards, but don't get too close-they do have basic space exploration technology.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO/CTO: Since those are experimental systems, we don't have many parts for them, or the specs for the parts either. We might not get them back until we get home.

CEO_Corjet says:
*XO* Aye, Sir.

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Negative, Sir, it is a gas giant.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks to EO Chad and nods::

FCO_Stricker says:
CSO: Thank you, Sir.  I shall keep my distance!

XO_Hicks says:
*CEO* Again, great job.  Hicks, out.

CTO_Marek says:
OPS: I totally trust Commander Corjet’s initiative.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Frowns:: OPS: Very well, we will make due with what we have.

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Sir, this may be an incredible source of energy for our long voyage.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Taps his COM Badge again as he looks back to the Copperfield generator and EPI systems:: *XO* Oh...  I made a somewhat false report Commander...  EPI and Copperfield systems are still off line.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Life signs on the planet?

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO Chad> ::Quickly grabs a PADD and taps a few buttons on it, then places it in front of Randy::

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Negative, Sir, the planet is a gas giant.

CEO_Corjet says:
*XO* They'll need some replacement parts...  Specialized ones that I cant have replicated here Sir.  ::Sighs and shakes his head::

XO_Hicks says:
*CEO* Well, I understand that the EPI and Copperfield systems are experimental.  So, I'll skip the Court Martial. ::Smiles::  Hicks, out.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: What type of energy can we expect to extract from these rings?  Can it be converted to power our systems?

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: The second planet has a population of approximately ten billion though.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Listens to CSO and Co discuss the rings::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Breaths heavily as he hears the words: “Court Martial".  Then sighs with relief:: *XO*  Thanks, Sir.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: What is their evolutionary status?

CTO_Marek says:
::Focuses the long-range sensors toward the 2nd planet:: Self: Fascinating.

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO Chad> ::Wipes his brow:: CEO: Close one, Sir, sorry it was my fault.  I should have informed you. ::Shakes his head and then puts it down as he heads back to his station to continue his duties::

Host James says:
Action: sensors read a small chuck of space debris (a rock of some kind) fall into the rings of the gas giant.  It is launched out of the system at an incredible speed.

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Exact energy types I am unsure of, this is a new discovery, though I believe it can be converted for our use; as for the second planet, they are pre-warp, industrialized, though they do have basic space exploration technology.

FCO_Stricker says:
::Monitors their distance from the planet::

CEO_Corjet says:
EO: No problem Chad!  Don’t worry about it.  ::Smiles at him as he looks up:: You'll still get your drinks. ::Sighs:: Don't know where I'm going to get the money to pay for them though.  ::Laughs::

CTO_Marek says:
::Sees the debris on his console:: CSO: You better take a look at this, Sir.

OPS_Kerst says:
ALL: Whoa, did you see what happened to that rock!

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: I see.  FCO: Keep your distance from the second planet.  We do not want to risk discovery.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Looks up at the crew::  All: What rock?

FCO_Stricker says:
CO: Yes Sir! ::Keeps distance::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Looks down as sensors record something traveling at nearly warp speeds, scans it::  CO: Sir, you should take a look at this ::Transfers the recording to the CO's terminal::  CO: It appears debris fell into the rings, and was shot out.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: A rock fell into the ring system, and then was shot out at incredible velocity.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Taps away at his console, then pauses to sign off on a report after he's double checked it with the readings from his console::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Looks at the command console and reads the data.  Thinks: Interesting::

CTO_Marek says:
OPS: We must cover our traces very well. The 2nd planet have a primitive but yet effective satellite grid.

XO_Hicks says:
CO: Do we have something, Sir?

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Sir, if a piece of space rock can be shot out at that speed, we may be able to do the same with the Erie, though we'd have to plan it so we don't get ripped apart.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: How can we use this propulsion effect to our advantage?

FCO_Stricker says:
::Monitors his distance::

OPS_Kerst says:
CSO/CO: Or hit anything.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
XO: Perhaps, Commander.

CTO_Marek says:
OPS: I think 45.5 milliseconds rotation on our shields would work. ::Does so::

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO Jo>::Looks over some reports and then walks to the Impulse Engine console.  Enters some data into his PADD from the console.  Heads to each and every station and starts logging in ships status for the records:: CEO: Almost done with status report, Sir. ::Walks to the warp core with his tricorder and scans it::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Exactly how fast was this "rock" traveling?

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Though in theory any speeds over warp ten can result in breaking through time barriers, if we were to be hurled out like that we can't be completely certain as to what would happen.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Makes fine-tuning adjustments to various systems of the ship.  Tuning them to higher efficiency:: EO: Okay.  ::Taps on the console::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Goes back to check sensors scans of the debris::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Is there any way to control the speed?

OPS_Kerst says:
CTO: I think that should work although if we shoot out of here I don't know if we can mask that, but oh well.

CTO_Marek says:
OPS: But then it would be late for them.  ::Smiles::

OPS_Kerst says:
CTO: Exactly.  :Grins::

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: I'd have to speak with the CEO on developing a way, but I believe it is a possibility, but this can also provide a way to contact SFC I believe.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Stands and walks to the Science Station:: CSO: Elaborate, Commander.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO/CSO: Yes, we beam the signal through the rings, the boosted power should reach the Federation.

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO Chad> ::Finishes his scan of the warp core, then heads to the MSD next to Randy and starts logging in the data:: CEO: You don’t have to pay up... ::Smiles and playfully nudges him:: We all know you have other things to attend to. ::Ends his log entry and heads back to his station::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Gets scans back::  CO: on that rock Sir, it was traveling at nearly warp ten.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Looks over at the OPS station::  OPS: Brilliant.

CTO_Marek says:
*CEO* What happened with the Copperfield Generator and EPI screens systems, Commander, Sir?

FCO_Stricker says:
::Monitors his distance::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Smiles:: EO: I made that bet with full intention of paying it off.. ::Smiles with a grin:: How  else could I get you all to work as hard and fast as you did? ::Laughs::

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: We'd have to line the Erie up so our signal goes in a straight line through the rings, but it should work.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Accounting for density, size, etc. can you estimate what speed we would travel compared to the rock?

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Sir, the increased speed can send the signal much faster, but I believe there might be a way to send it directly to SFC, so it doesn't have to travel through Romulan space.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
OPS: Get on the calculations, please.  Inform me when you have a precise location and trajectory for the communication.

CEO_Corjet says:
*CTO* Marek... They need some replacement parts Sir.  They're offline until..  ::Pauses as he hopes and then quickly says a prayer to the prophets:: Until we get back to the station and fill out a parts request for them.  ::Sighs:: Could be days or weeks after I send the request Sir.

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: we could travel at least that fast, especially if we were able to erect some time of warp bubble around ourselves, though the trick is to not hit anything.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Yes, but wouldn't the signal be traveling too fast for them to intercept?

OPS_Kerst says:
CO; Aye, Sir. ::Begins working on how to position the ship with respect to the rings to beam a signal to Starfleet Command::

CTO_Marek says:
*CEO* I understand, Sir. As I said a minute ago, you have all my confidence. Marek, out.

XO_Hicks says:
::Rises and walks next to the CO::  CO/CSO:  So we're considering using this energy as a slingshot?

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO Chad> ::Smiles as he and his teams know:: CEO: Sir, we would have done the same for you even with out the bet, Sir.

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Are you familiar with the micro-worm hole phenomenon?

FCO_Stricker says:
::Keeps his distance from the planet::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Taps a message to the CTO letting him know that he's thankful that he's their Chief Tactical Officer::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Looks at the XO:: XO: For the communications, yes.  We are still debating on using it to accelerate the ship.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Vaguely, Commander.

CEO_Corjet says:
EO: Yes, but we still made the bet.  ::Taps a long sequence of commands into the console::

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Sir, I've got it, if we position ourselves here... ::Points:: and orient the ship thus, we will be lined up to send a signal through the rings towards home.

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: I'd have to research it farther, but I believe we may be able to create one here, just large enough to send data through or a transmission and we can direct it to open right in the Sol Sector.

CTO_Marek says:
::Keeps reading the incoming data from the 2nd planet... somehow this planet has caught all Marek's attention::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Walks over the to OPS station and looks at the console::  OPS: I see.  And would the Romulans be able to intercept our transmission?

XO_Hicks says:
CO: Understood.  This is an opportunity to study an incredible phenomenon though.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Excellent.  Get on it and inform me when you are ready to try it.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Possibly, but if we use encrypted secure channel they won't know what we're saying, only that a signal from beyond their borders is beaming through.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
XO: Agreed.  However, our priority right now is to get us home safely.  We can store the data from our scans for later study.

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO Chad> ::Smiles at his Chief and then turns to his console to make some sensitive adjustments to the warp core:: CEO: Yes, you did.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Nods at Kerst::

FCO_Stricker says:
::Keeps his distance from the planet::

XO_Hicks says:
CO: Aye, Sir.
