Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Looks over to Operations:: OPS: Commander Kerst, how are your calculations for the communications coming?  I have completed my message to Admiral Ferrone.  I will send it to your console.   ::Taps the command console and sends the communiqué to the OPS console::

CMO_Tae says:
::Walks around Sickbay, organizing all the loose ends::

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO> CEO: Aye, Sir. ::Turns and heads to a console and orders all the replication teams to their stations::

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Double checking the numbers now. I'll encode your message before transmitting it.

FCO_Stricker says:
::Maintains orbit around the planet::

Host James says:
Action: The proximity alert goes off.  A small chunk of space debris has just shot past the Erie only missing it by four meters.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
OPS: Acknowledged.

CIV_Danforth says:
::Piggy backing my message to the CO's::

TO_Corjet says:

Yeoman Smith says:
::Snaps to attention:: CO: Sir.  ::Stands off to the side::

CNS_Toni says:
::Checking the CO's last orders::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Walks over to the console:: *CO* Sir? I'm going to start replicating some necessary components for boosting the Inertial Dampening Field  and Structural Integrity Field systems.

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Sir, I've been able to calculate a trajectory from the sensor readings we have so we don't hit anything, but past twenty light years I'm not sure if it is still empty since our sensors can't scan that far.  Space is empty, but I doubt it is THAT empty.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Looks at the CSO with some concern::  CSO: You will have to do better than that, Commander.  There can be no room for error.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Looks at Yeoman Smith:: Yeoman Smith: Are you new?  I do not believe we have met.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO/FCO: Got it, if we position ourselves here…::Points to display:: we will be in a direct line with Kootenai through the rings.

CNS_Toni says:
::Looks up at TO Corjet::

Yeoman Smith says:
CO: Petty officer second class Brad Smith, your new yeoman.

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO> ::Has the replication teams ready.  Walks back to Randy to assist him:: CEO: They're ready.

TO_Corjet says:
::Smiles at Toni::  CNS: Good morning Counselor West, are you ready?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: Yeoman Smith: New yeoman?  I did not request a new yeoman.  Did I request a new yeoman, Mr. Kerst?  ::Looks to OPS::

FCO_Stricker says:
::Nods at OPS:: OPS: Good work Sir! CO: Shall I lay in the course?

CTO_Marek says:
OPS: ::Passes him a PADD:: Here is my suggestion for the shield modulation during "Our ride".

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Um, no, I don't think you requested one, I think Starfleet Command just sent one. When we get to the station I can double check the transfer orders if you like.

MO_Sovok says:
::Looks at the CMO and smiles::

CNS_Toni says:
TO: Good morning.  We’re as ready as we'll get.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
OPS: Yes, please do.

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: I have finished researching the possibility of creating an artificial singularity, although I can't guarantee one hundred percent it will open up, I believe it is worth a try.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Takes PADD and looks it over:: CTO: Yes but if we hit anything our shields will not hold no matter what.

Yeoman Smith says:
::Grabs another PADD and hands it to the CO:: CO: These were my orders from Admiral Crawford.  I was sent here.  I don't question my orders I just follow them.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Very well.  After we send the message to Admiral Ferrone, we shall attempt your plan at creating a singularity.  Prepare the systems.  ::Takes the PADD from Yeoman Smith and presses the button::

TO_Corjet says:
::She moves towards the door, then hangs back waiting for the CNS to go ahead::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
Yeoman Smith: I appreciate the gesture, Mr. Smith, however I do not require the aid of a Yeoman.  Please report to the messhall.  The Chef may have something for you to do.

CNS_Toni says:
TO:  Let's start off checking weapons lockers, making sure they are secure before we head off to the other areas.

FCO_Stricker says:
::Turns to the OPS:: OPS: Sir, what are those coordinates?

Yeoman Smith says:
CO: Sir, Starfleet wants it’s Captains to have Yeomen.  It's sort of a tradition thing, I suppose.  I was last posted on the Scorpius.

OPS_Kerst says:
FCO: I'll send them to your station.  ::Sends coordinates to the FCO station::

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Taps COM badge::  *CEO* Commander, can you boost power to the main deflector dish?  We are going to try emitting a tachyon pulse into the ring of the planet and I will need to be able to completely control it.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Raises an eyebrow at Yeoman Smith:: Yeoman Smith: I appreciate the gesture, Yeoman, as I stated but I do not require the assistance of a Yeoman.  Please report to the messhall.  ::Is getting a tad irritated::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Brings up the required parts for boosting the Structural Integrity field and Inertial Dampening shield systems.

I'm going to get the other engineers to get ready for installing them.

TO_Corjet says:
::She nods her head::  CNS: Good idea.

FCO_Stricker says:
OPS: Received, thank you, Sir!

Yeoman Smith says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Exits Bridge to turbolift:: Computer: Messhall.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Quickly moves over to the deflector control console:: *CSO* Will do.  ::Taps away at the console:: Just give me a few moments, Sir.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Thinks about what he just told the Captain:: CO: Although that might be in a few years.

CTO_Marek says:
::Runs a level-3 diagnostic on photon torpedoes launchers::

MO_Sovok says:
::Walks up to the CMO:: CMO: Kara, are you feeling okay? I mean, I thought we talked about maybe giving work a break for a while?

CIV_Danforth says:
CSO: How are things going Mr. Pavielion?

FCO_Stricker says:
CO: I've received the coordinated from OPS.  Shall I lay in the stand by course, Sir?

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO> ::Quickly takes the PADD and heads to the hardware replicators::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Takes a deep breath and begins putting the modulation of the frequency and amplitude the beam needs to be focused on::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
FCO: Please do, Lieutenant.

CMO_Tae says:
::Looks over at Sovok::  MO:  I'm fine.  Why do you ask?

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Looks up from his console to the CIV::  CIV: As well as can be expected Commander, hopefully we can prevent this journey from taking over a year.

CNS_Toni says:
::Nods toward corridor:: TO: Let's get this going.

MO_Sovok says:
CMO: Just wanted to make sure you are okay.  I mean, the other day it was kind of emotional for you.

CEO_Corjet says:
*CO* Captain, request permission to replicate parts for an additional structural integrity field/Inertial Dampening shield system, Sir?  ::Taps away at the console, and finally boosts the power to the deflector dish::

CIV_Danforth says:
CSO: Agreed.  Is there anything I can do to help with the calculations?

CEO_Corjet says:
*CSO* Ready when you are, Sir.

CMO_Tae says:
MO:  I know, I know but I'm fine.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
XO: Please do something about that new Yeoman, assign him somewhere else.

TO_Corjet says:
::She smiles and obliges Toni, unsure why she had such a foreboding feeling today::

XO_Hicks says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*CEO* Commander, Main Engineering along with Sickbay has full replicator privileges.

FCO_Stricker says:
OPS: That shall get us right to the Kootenai.  Good work, Sir! ::Smiles::

CSO_Pavielion says:
*CEO* Acknowledged.  Thank you, Commander.  ::Looks back to the CIV::  CIV: If you wish, you can take station two and assist me in putting these frequency modulations into the tractor beams emitters ::Hands the CIV a PADD::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Checks it and shakes his head:: *CO* Aye, Sir.  Just wanted to make sure you knew.  Randy, out. ::Sends a message to his assistant engineer ordering him to start replication::

CNS_Toni says:
::Walking toward first weapons locker::  TO: You have read my rationing plans, I hope?

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: I've encoded your message to Starfleet, ready to send it on your order.

CIV_Danforth says:
CSO: Thank you.  ::Takes PADD and begins assisting in the frequency modulations::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
OPS: Very well, send the message, Commander.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Continues to input the data, trying to double and triple check every calculation, nods to the CIV::  CIV: More like “Thank you, Commander”.

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO> ::Starts replicating various shield and Inertial Dampening shield and Structural Integrity field wave guides for the ship::  Engineers: Let’s get moving, I want to be home for dinner!

CTO_Marek says:
OPS: ::Raises an eyebrow to the OPS:: Have you taken a look at the PADD I gave you?

TO_Corjet says:
::She nodded:: CNS: Yes, however I was unsure about the water rations given my current condition.  I'd like to speak with Kara and ask if 4 cups of water will be sufficient for me.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Sending now.  ::Sends message though rings towards Kootenai:: ALL: I hope they get it.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
OPS: Yes, we all do.

CTO_Marek says:
::Crosses his fingers behind his back::

MO_Sovok says:
::Shakes his head:: CMO: Kara, I don't think you are.

CIV_Danforth says:
::Doubles and triple checks all things that were double and triple checked::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Gets a sensor alarm::  CO: Sir, sensors are picking up a satellite orbiting the gas giant.  We just detected it, one of man-made origin.

CMO_Tae says:
MO:  What makes you say that?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Walks over to a group of his engineers:: Engineers: Okay, you know the plan, let’s get moving.  I'm going to have some of the replication technicians bring you guys the parts.  But you all will have to take the first load of parts yourself.  Any questions?

Host James says:
Action: Sensors show the message "beam" is dispersed in all directions after coming in contact with the rings.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: What can you tell me about this artificial satellite?

CNS_Toni says:
TO:  You will be given special consideration in regards to the food and water.  It is okay with  Kara but check with her to find out if there is anything she should be aware of.

OPS_Kerst says:
ALL: What the……???  The message went....everywhere!

CEO_Corjet says:
<Engineers>::Look over their specifications for their jobs and look to Randy and tell him that they're ready to get to work::

XO_Hicks says:
*CEO* Randy, I'm on my way to you.  We need to talk about strengthening the shields.

MO_Sovok says:
CMO: You can't get over something like that in a day.. You need to spend time with yourself.

CEO_Corjet says:
Engineers: Get to it.

PO3_Charlton says:
::Staggers into Sickbay, doubled over in pain::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Scans the satellite::  CO: It appears very primitive.  I'm trying to see how close it is and if it has detected us though I suggest we move to the other side of the planet away from it.

CIV_Danforth says:
::Offhanded to OPS while concentrating:: OPS: What if we sent the message through a holographic stream?

FCO_Stricker says:
OPS: That’s odd, what do you suppose happened?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Stands and turns to the OPS station:: OPS: Can you be a bit more specific, Commander?

TO_Corjet says:
CNS: Yes, I thought that would be the case.

CTO_Marek says:
OPS: So we may expect some Romulan friends chasing us, ahh? ::Turns back to his console::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Agreed.

CEO_Corjet says:
*XO* Aye, Sir.  I'm in the process of adding some internal structural integrity field and inertial dampening shielding boosters throughout the ship, Sir.

TO_Corjet says:
::She continues checking lockers::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
FCO: Move us to the other side of the planet.

CMO_Tae says:
MO: Not right now. I can't.  ::Looks over at Charlton as he stumbles in, grabs a tricorder and walks over to him and helps him onto a biobed::

XO_Hicks says:
CO: Sir, permission to leave the Bridge?

PO3_Charlton says:
CMO: Doc!  Cramps!

FCO_Stricker says:
CO: Aye, Sir! ::Moves the ship to the other side::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
XO: Granted, Commander.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: The message beam was dispersed through the rings and went in every direction, not just straight through. Um, that could happen to the ship if we try a slingshot.

MO_Sovok says:
::Walks over with her, assisting Kara::

CMO_Tae says:
PO3: Do you have any idea what could have caused them?

XO_Hicks says:
CO: Thank you, Sir.  ::Heads for Main Engineering::

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Sir, the satellite doesn't seem to have detected us.  It is only scanning the planet.  ::Gets a thought::  Sir, with your permission, I'd like to try to download its database, I'll be sure not to leave any trace of us behind.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Walks over to the shielding systems master console.  Brings up its blue prints and schematics.  Taps his finger on the console:: Self: What can we do here?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
OPS: Commander, work with the CSO on refining the process and we shall make another attempt.

PO3_Charlton says:
CMO: I'm… ::Winces:: not sure, Doc.  It can't be something I ate because I haven't had anything to eat yet.

CIV_Danforth says:
OPS: I think the signal wasn't strong enough to make it through.

CMO_Tae says:
::Starts scanning him::  PO3: Then maybe it's because you haven't eaten.

CIV_Danforth says:
OPS: It should be different for the ship, especially if we are at warp speed.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Would that be a violation of the Prime Directive?

FCO_Stricker says:
::Maintains position around the side of the planet::

MO_Sovok says:
CMO: That’s what I was going to say.

PO3_Charlton says:
::Stares at the Doctor:: CMO/MO: Don't be comedians, Doctors!

CMO_Tae says:
PO3: I'm not trying to be a comedian.  I'm serious.  If you haven't eaten that could be why you're having cramps.

OPS_Kerst says:
CIV: If the acceleration effect has a randomized final vector component, different parts of the ship could be accelerated in different directions at the same time thus ripping us to shreds.

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: I suppose it depends on how we bend it.  We won't be interfering with the satellite, just quietly copying its files.  No harm.

XO_Hicks says:
::Enters Main Engineering::  CEO: Commander.

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO> ::Watches as the parts are replicated and the designated Engineers take them to their assigned areas:: Engineers: Come on guys, I'll throw in a double round on me! ::Sighs as he sees them re-double their efforts::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks up:: XO: Hello, Sir.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Ponders the suggestion for a few moments:: CSO: Very well, download the files.

PO3_Charlton says:
CMO: I don't think so.  I had dinner and a late-night snack last night.

XO_Hicks says:
CEO: What else have you come up with?

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Begins to interface with the satellite and attempts to copy files::

CMO_Tae says:
PO3:  Have you eaten anything today?

FCO_Stricker says:
::Maintains the Erie around the other side of the planet::

CIV_Danforth says:
OPS: Good point.  CSO: Can we send a shuttle through first and see if it works?

PO3_Charlton says:
CMO: We got called to the ship before I had breakfast.

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO> ::Checks on the status with the installation of the structural integrity field and inertial dampening shield network and smiles:: Self: Wow.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Studies data on the rings to try to determine what happened to the signal::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Walks to a wall locker and extracts a field ration.  Looks at it and sighs then walks back to the command chair and opens up the ration::

CMO_Tae says:
PO3: Then that could be it.

PO3_Charlton says:
CMO: I've had a few glasses of juice since, though.

CEO_Corjet says:
XO: Well, I'm currently looking over the shields.  ::Sighs:: With the EPI systems offline it doesn't give us much to work with.

CSO_Pavielion says:
CIV: I would suggest something without any technology onboard.  If it gets sent to another system we don't want another race stealing the shuttle's technology.

CTO_Marek says:
OPS/CIV: Can we somehow use a tractor beam to reinforce our shields protection? ::Wonders::

CMO_Tae says:
Self: Hmm....

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO: If we inverse the polarity, it should increase the shield strength.

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Sir, we'll have to move the ship so we have a direct line of transmission to the satellite, though since it is only scanning the planet it shouldn't detect us.

CTO_Marek says:
OPS/CIV: I will work on that, if you allow me.

XO_Hicks says:
CEO: Have you considered shunting warp power straight to the shields?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Very well, send the coordinates to the helm.

CIV_Danforth says:
CSO: Good point but we need to try something before we ourselves go into it.

OPS_Kerst says:
CTO: If there was enough time we could lessen a kinetic impact with the shields but the time factor is the crucial element.

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO: That would be great, Commander.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
FCO: Engage on the new coordinates when received.

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO> *CEO* Sir, were working very fast here, Sir.  We're almost done with all the parts.  I'm thinking of having the replication teams assist the installation teams, sound good to you, Sir?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Takes a bite of the field ration and grimaces::

CTO_Marek says:
OPS: Let me give it a try, give me one or two minutes.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Sends coordinates to the helm.  Just enough so they are barely in range::  FCO: You should have the new coordinates.  ::Looks to the CIV::  CIV: Have you finished putting the modulations into the computer?

CIV_Danforth says:
CSO: Yes, they are done.

CMO_Tae says:
PO3: I'm going to run a few tests to see what's wrong with you, okay?

TO_Corjet says:
::Continues down the hall with Toni, checking lockers on the other side as they chat away::

PO3_Charlton says:
CMO: O…. ::Winces::….kay.

CIV_Danforth says:
CSO: The CTO has a good idea about reinforcing the shields.

CIV_Danforth says:
CSO: He's working on it right now.

CSO_Pavielion says:
CIV: Thank you.  ::Begins the startup sequence on the main deflector dish::

OPS_Kerst says:
CTO/CIV: I think the big problem will be outrunning our sensors.  We will be flying to fast to react to anything we detect.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Sighs and looks back to the schematic blue prints::  XO: I have.. ::Points and draws his finger across the display:: but the shield emitters can only handle so much power.  ::Shakes his head:: If we go over that... ::Thinks:: hmm.. we could…. ::Nods:: yes.. ::Smiles:: we could but then it'll get tricky to monitor them so they don’t blow.

FCO_Stricker says:
CSO: Thank you, Sir!

CEO_Corjet says:
*EO* Go ahead, Davidson.

CTO_Marek says:
OPS: No, if we modify the sensors commands. I think I can make it.

CMO_Tae says:
::Gets some equipment together and begins running tests on Charlton::

CIV_Danforth says:
OPS: I think we can solve that be launching a probe as we enter the field.  The probe will reach the coordinates far before us and will send info back.

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO> *CEO* Aye, Sir, Davidson, out.  ::Waves his hands toward the engineers to get them to start assisting::

XO_Hicks says:
CEO: I think it's our only alternative.

CTO_Marek says:
CIV: That's a better idea, I guess.

FCO_Stricker says:
CO: I received the CSO's coordinates, shall I set course?

CSO_Pavielion says:
CIV: I'm sorry, Commander I haven't been paying attention to that discussion. What idea from the CTO?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Finishes eating the field ration and wants something to drink but does not want to use up her allocation of water rations::

OPS_Kerst says:
CTO: The main problem will be the sensor signal only can travel so fast, we'll be traveling at nearly the same speed so our effective senor range will be quite small.  We'll be almost flying blind to what is in front of us.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
FCO: Affirmative, Lieutenant.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Sighs with a smile:: XO: You’re right, it is.  I really didn’t want to try this because if they blow.. ::Shakes his head as he thinks about his wife and their unborn children::  we're “Goners”.

CTO_Marek says:
OPS: I think that's a risk we should we ready to accept.

CIV_Danforth says:
CSO: The CTO has a great way to strengthen the shields, Mr. Marek?

PO3_Charlton says:
::Awaits the tests from the CMO::

FCO_Stricker says:
::Nods at the CO and lays in the course::

XO_Hicks says:
CEO: That's why I'm here, Commander.  I'll assist you in any way I can.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CIV: You would think with technology as advanced as the Federation's they would have developed better tasting field rations.

OPS_Kerst says:
CTO: At those speeds, we won't even know if we hit something.  We'll just turn into a cloud of so much plasma.

CTO_Marek says:
::Turns to the CSO: CSO: Commander, Mr. Kerst and I are discussing my idea about using a modified tractor beam signal to reinforce our shields.

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: Yes, Sir.  I think when they made field rations someone had a sick sense of humor.

CEO_Corjet says:
Engineers: Get those PTC's ready to feed power directly to the shield power network.  I want Beta Team of Alpha shift to get to the shield emitter power nodes to monitor them. ::Waves his hands:: Our work has just begun!!!

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Hears OPS::  OPS: Agreed Commander, I can get us a twenty light year clear path but past that sensors can't detect anything.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Nods to the CIV::  CIV: I just hope WE do not get sick from the rations.

CTO_Marek says:
CSO: Kerst has made some interesting observations on this idea. 

CNS_Toni says:
::Walking along the corridor and begins to daydream about the last time she had a candlelight dinner with Will::

OPS_Kerst says:
CO/CIV: I don't think they’re that bad.

CMO_Tae says:
::Looks at the test results and picks up a hypospray::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Turns back to the XO:: XO: Could you monitor the shield emitter power ratio?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
OPS: Your taste sensors must be radically different than mine.  That much is certain.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Sighs::  CO: It's mainly just pictures, not much more.  I'm making sure we didn't leave any traces behind now.  ::Makes sure to carefully back out of all systems and not leave any tracks::

CIV_Danforth says:
CO/OPS: Well, they did invent Romulan ale.  You had to have different taste buds to make that.

PO3_Charlton says:
CMO: Doc?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Nods to the CIV::

OPS_Kerst says:
CIV: Ahh…Romulan Ale, the best drink in he galaxy!

FCO_Stricker says:
::Maintains position and speed on the other side of the planet::

XO_Hicks says:
CEO: Down here, you're in command.  I'll get right on it, Sir.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: What kind of pictures?

CTO_Marek says:
OPS: I will get back to you with an improved suggestion.  ::Turns back to work on his console::

CMO_Tae says:
PO3:  Radiation is what is making you sick.  ::Presses the hypospray against his neck::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Stifles a laugh.:: XO: What I mean is I would like you to monitor the input power to the shield emitters and also monitor the output field strength, adjust it when you can for optimal performance, Sir.

OPS_Kerst says:
CSO: Any more thoughts on that wormhole idea?

PO3_Charlton says:
CMO: Radiation?

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Pictures of the planet and the ring, a few infrared but no data.  Also we have finished modifications of the deflector dish and are prepared to attempt to create an artificial singularity.

XO_Hicks says:
::Gets on a console to monitor power ratio::  CEO: Gotcha.

CMO_Tae says:
PO3: That's correct.

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO> ::Smiles as he's finished checking all the Structural Integrity field and Inertial Dampening shield network:: *CEO* Sir? All systems are fine and are ready to be brought online and phased synched with the main system, Sir.

MO_Sovok says:
::Looks at Kara:: CMO: I can handle this, you go sit down.

TO_Corjet says:
::She turns to Toni::  CNS: The lockers in the corridor are secure.

PO3_Charlton says:
CMO: Is that going to help?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Smiles  with a nod to his Executive officer:: XO: Thank you.  ::Turns back to the primary console::

CSO_Pavielion says:
OPS: I have what I believe to be the correct modulations for the tachyon beam, and am prepared to test it out.  We might do anything from be able to send a message through to the Erie herself.

FCO_Stricker says:
::Stands by the course set by the CSO::

CEO_Corjet says:
*EO* Okay, ::Taps a button:: bringing them online now.

CMO_Tae says:
PO3: You should start feeling better in a few minutes.

PO3_Charlton says:
CMO: Thanks, Doc.

XO_Hicks says:
CEO: So if we're agreed on the course of action, I'll inform the Captain of our plans.

CMO_Tae says:
::Looks at Sovok::  MO: You might want to look over the test results first.

MO_Sovok says:
::Nods and takes her tricorder from her gently::

CTO_Marek says:
::Self:: If I only can modify and improve this sensor range.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Sighs and shakes his head, turns to the XO:: XO: Thanks!  Geeze,  been too busy down here, Sir.  ::Turns back to the console::

XO_Hicks says:
CEO: I fully understand.

XO_Hicks says:
*CO* Hicks to Mitchell, come in, Sir.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Shrugs::

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Sir, shall I transmit coordinates to the helm?  I've been able to determine where to most gravimetric instability already exists, hopefully that will make our job easier.

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO> ::Watches the systems come online:: CEO: Online now, Sir.  ::Smiles as he scans his section with his tricorder then pauses as he looks to the other scans that are linked with his tricorder:: Everything is looking great, Sir.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*XO* Mitchell, here.  Go ahead, Commander.

CMO_Tae says:
::Walks away from Sovok and Charlton::  *CO*  Sir, we may have a slight problem soon.  It isn't an issue at the moment but radiation from the rings of the planet has affected one of our crewmembers.

CEO_Corjet says:
*EO* Good.  Here we go.  Bringing them to full power.  ::Taps a few commands into the console:: How are they now?

CIV_Danforth says:
CSO: Commander, what do you think, are we going to make it through?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*CMO* Who and how has it affected them?

FCO_Stricker says:
::Keep maintains position and has the course on stand by, waiting for the CO to give him the order to go but when it is necessary::

XO_Hicks says:
CO: Sir, we're going to shunt warp power to the shields but I'll have to remain here to monitor the emitter power ratio.

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: See what I mean?  Give me a good grape soda any time.

CTO_Marek says:
CIV: Considering that the message was sent in every direction, I won't be surprised if we meet some "friends".

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO: I agree.  Let's start doing battle drills.

CMO_Tae says:
*CO* One of the petty officers and he came in with cramps of some sort.

MO_Sovok says:
::Looks at the tricorder and then at Charlton:: PO3: Feeling better yet?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*XO* Do you think that is wise?  Won't we need the power to control the ship?

CSO_Pavielion says:
CIV: Through what?  This ordeal, the slingshot or the wormhole?

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO> ::Taps at his tricorder and monitors all the other tricorders that are linked to his:: *CEO* They're looking great. ::Smiles as he turns to his engineers that are waiting::

PO3_Charlton says:
MO: A little.

CNS_Toni says:
TO: Let's head for the crew quarters and then make sure Sickbay is secure.

CIV_Danforth says:
CSO: The slingshot.

OPS_Kerst says:
CTO: Hopefully it will take them a while to get here.  How far are we away from their border again?

CTO_Marek says:
CIV: Fine, I discarded my idea about the tractor beam, so I can totally focus on this.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*CMO* Very well, treat him then give me a full report when you are done.

TO_Corjet says:
CNS: Agreed.  ::Follows Toni::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Turns back to the XO:: XO: Just a little bit of power.  More than what the would get normally but not much compared to the amounts for the warp drive systems.

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: Sir, we're going to run battle drills.  Mr. Marek is right.  If that message went every which way, someone may come knocking.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Looks grim::  CIV: I can give you twenty light years we will make it through. Past that, I can give you a hope and a prayer.

XO_Hicks says:
*CO* Randy and I agree that it's our only choice.  With the stresses this ship would undergo during a slingshot.

CMO_Tae says:
::Looks over at Charlton::  *CO*  I've already given him something to counteract the radiation, but I'm not sure how long that will last.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*XO* Very well, keep me informed.  Mitchell, out.

XO_Hicks says:
CEO: Acknowledged.  ::Boosts power slightly::

CTO_Marek says:
OPS: About 1.7 lights from its border.

XO_Hicks says:
*CO* Aye, Sir.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*CMO* Can you isolate him in a stasis chamber and monitor him?

CIV_Danforth says:
CSO: Your hope and a prayer will be good enough for me.  I can't find anything wrong with the calculations.

CMO_Tae says:
*CO* I can but I'm not sure he'll like it much though.

MO_Sovok says:
PO3: Good.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CIV: Acknowledged.

CEO_Corjet says:
*EO* Okay, keep some of the crew there but I want you to the gel packs to make sure that if any of them burn out that you can have them replaced as quickly as possible, Ensign.  Got that?

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO> ::Smiles with a nod as he waves to a group in the background:: *CEO* Aye, Sir, we’re on it.

FCO_Stricker says:
::Stands by to head back to Kootenai Station::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*CMO* Do what you must.  Mitchell, out.

CSO_Pavielion says:
CIV: I'm hoping we can create a wormhole stable enough to go through, but if not, we can only hope there is nothing in our way past twenty light years, since like I said sensors can't scan past that.

PO3_Charlton says:
::Lies back to let the medicine do its stuff::

CIV_Danforth says:
CSO: How long will it take the ship to stop if we use the slingshot?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks to his console as he thinks about his Ahkayah.  Types in a message, letting her know he loves her.  Then quickly gets back to his duties::

OPS_Kerst says:
CIV: Several parsecs.

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO: Let's run the drills, Satok.  We've got to be ready to run.

FCO_Stricker says:
CO: Any orders, Sir?

XO_Hicks says:
CEO: Shield emitter power levels are within acceptable parameters, Commander.

OPS_Kerst says:
CSO: How long until we try for a wormhole?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
FCO: Maintain position, Lieutenant.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Finishes the startup sequence for the deflector dish::  CO: Sir, the dish is ready and I have coordinates for the helm where to position us if you wish to try the wormhole theory.

CTO_Marek says:
::Taps on his console:: CIV: Ready whenever you are, Danforth.

CMO_Tae says:
::Walks back over to Sovok and Charlton::  PO3: The Captain wants me to place you into a stasis chamber to monitor you.

PO3_Charlton says:
::Winces again:: Ooooh!

FCO_Stricker says:
CO: Aye, Sir, maintaining it, Sir! ::Nods::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Turns around as walks to each and every post, checking out everyone’s work.  Turns to the XO:: XO: Good, good.  ::Continues and then returns to his station::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Very well, send the coordinates to Mr. Stricker.

CSO_Pavielion says:
OPS: Whenever we get in position.

CIV_Danforth says:
::Nods to the CTO:: OPS: Mr. Kerst, will you announce that battle drills will be commencing in two minutes?

OPS_Kerst says:
CSO: Stand by.

FCO_Stricker says:
CSO: Standing by to receive coordinates.

PO3_Charlton says:
CMO/MO: Cramp!  Cramp, cramp, cramp, cramp!  CRAMP!

OPS_Kerst says:
CIV: Are these to be ship wide or department only drills?

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Brings to coordinates up from the database and transfers them to the helm::  FCO: You should have them.  ::Turns back to the CO::  CO: I've found the spot where the most gravimetric instability exists.  This should help us in creating a singularity.

CTO_Marek says:
CIV: Let's make it difficult. My idea is to simulate being under the attack of three Warbirds, fully armed of course.

TO_Corjet says:
::Enters the turbolift with Toni and heads for Sickbay::

CIV_Danforth says:
OPS: Shipwide.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Acknowledged, begin when ready.

FCO_Stricker says:
CSO: Thank you, Sir!  ::Looks at the coordinates::

CMO_Tae says:
::Gets another hypospray to help Charlton relax and presses it against his neck::  PO3: Don't tense up, just relax.

CTO_Marek says:
*TO* Report to the Bridge, Lieutenant.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Sighs as he checks his secondary tricorder link with the engineers that are monitoring the bio neural gel packs.  Taps a sequence of commands into the tricorder:: Self: There.  ::Scans the bio-neural gel packs::

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO: Sounds good.  Let's start the simulation.

OPS_Kerst says:
CIV: Okay.

PO3_Charlton says:
CMO: Can't... ::Winces:: help... ::Winces again:: it.  ::Winces yet again::

FCO_Stricker says:
CO: These coordinates will put us at a safe enough position where the ship won’t get damaged.

CSO_Pavielion says:
*CEO* We are about to begin emitting the tachyon pulse.  If you could please monitor it and make sure nothing malfunctions.

TO_Corjet says:
*CTO* Yes, Sir!

OPS_Kerst says:
*ALL* Shipwide battle drills will commence in 2 minutes.

CMO_Tae says:
PO3: I know it hurts, but tensing up will only make it hurt more.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Nods to the FCO:: FCO: Put us in position.

TO_Corjet says:
Turbolift: Computer, change course, Bridge.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Taps a sequence of commands:: *CSO* Monitoring them now.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Monitors power for tachyon pulse::

CTO_Marek says:
CIV: Okay, 3, 2, 1... ships are detected.  Powering their weapons now.  Red alert status!  ::Taps on his console::

PO3_Charlton says:
CMO: It's.. ::Winces:: in ::Winces:: vol ::Winces:: un ::Winces:: tary.

FCO_Stricker says:
CO: Aye! ::Put the Erie in position as to the CSO coordinates::

TO_Corjet says:
::Gets off the turbolift and nods politely to Toni then goes to her station:: CTO: Reporting for duty, Sir.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Taps on his console and sends a message to his engineers letting them know to be ready for the drill.  Then monitors the ships critical systems::

CMO_Tae says:
::Sighs::  PO3: Take steady breaths.  Clear your mind and try to relax.

CTO_Marek says:
TO: Fine, Tasha.  Assume your duties and monitor the drill.

CIV_Danforth says:
::Takes the ship to simulated red alert::

TO_Corjet says:
::She taps a few buttons and sees a Love note from Randy.  She smiles briefly and sends him her love then returns to her duties:: CTO: Yes, Sir, not a problem.

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: The simulations I have run show we have nearly a sixty percent chance of this working.  The beam should create enough gravimetric sheer to open up a wormhole and depending on the power to ring, can provide it might be large enough to just send a message through or maybe even the Erie herself.

CIV_Danforth says:
COM: Shipwide: Red alert, red alert, this is a drill.  Report to your stations.

FCO_Stricker says:
CO: We are now currently at the CSO’s coordinates, Sir!

CTO_Marek says:
TO: By the way, weren't you on your shift when you left the Bridge? ::Raises an eyebrow:: Nevermind, concentrate on the drill.

CNS_Toni says:
::Stays on the turbolift, taking it to Sickbay::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
FCO: Acknowledged.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: We are in position, Commander.  Begin when ready.

FCO_Stricker says:
::Nods to the CO::

OPS_Kerst says:
CSO/CO: All systems green.

CIV_Danforth says:
CSO: Sixty percent is better than nothing, Mr. Pavielion.  Great job.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
OPS: Prepare the message again.

CEO_Corjet says:
*OPS* Kerst?  I have Executive Officer Hicks monitoring the shield emitters.  Power consumption by them will be greater than normal.  ::Smiles for no apparent reason::  We're feeding warp power directly into them.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Ready and waiting.

TO_Corjet says:
CTO: My orders were to accompany CNS West.  ::Shrugs:: Yes, Sir.

PO3_Charlton says:
::Tries to take deep breaths, but condition preventing him::

OPS_Kerst says:
*CEO* Understood, we're preparing to activate the tachyon pulse, stand by.

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Makes a few minor adjustments to the exact point where the beam will pass through the ring, and hopefully gain enough power to create a singularity::

CTO_Marek says:
CIV: Shields at 99.5%.  Phasers armed.  Photon torpedoes ready to launch on command.  Suggestion for defensive-offensive pattern?

CMO_Tae says:
::Watches Charlton::  PO3:They don't have to be deep just steady.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Sends another message to his engineers to let them know that those who have assignments to just report to him directly.  Smiles as everyone is accounted for:: *OPS*  Aye, Kerst.

CTO_Marek says:
CIV: Epsilon 1A would fine for me, Danforth.

TO_Corjet says:
::Pulls up yet another screen to monitor the entire situation::

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: All systems ready, Sir.  The tachyon beam is ready to activate on your command.

CTO_Marek says:
TO: Suggestions, Lieutenant?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Very well, activate tachyon beam.

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO: Let's do it, Mr. Marek, Epsilon 1A.

FCO_Stricker says:
::Maintains position::

OPS_Kerst says:
*CEO* Be prepared.  We may divert power to for the tachyon pulse if we need it.  If we're real lucky this will work and we'll be home for breakfast.

CTO_Marek says:
::Taps:: Firing phasers.  Ship heading starboard accelerating at full impulse. Launching first volley of torpedoes.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Brings the beam to full saturation and activates it, directing it right through the rings and to the locked in coordinates::  CO: Beam firing, Sir.

PO3_Charlton says:
::Struggles to keep the breath steady::

Host James says:
Action: The ring ripples sending out a brief distortion wave before forming a small wormhole-like entrance.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
OPS: Activate viewscreen, please.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Watches power as beam activates::

TO_Corjet says:
CTO: Sir, I'm not sure of the best course of action.

CEO_Corjet says:
*OPS* All systems nominal.  Okay…. ::Makes a few adjustments to the systems for optimal performance with the tachyon pulse::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Watches the beam modulations and sensor readings::

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Activates viewscreen:: Viewscreen on.

CMO_Tae says:
::Picks up her hypospray and injects Charlton with a medication to relax his muscles::

Host James says:
Action: Subsequently, the satellite is knocked out of orbit and begins plummeting towards the gas giant.

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Gravimetric sheer increasing.

CIV_Danforth says:
CSO: Let's punch through the hole, Commander!

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Looks at the command console and monitors the readings::

FCO_Stricker says:
::Still maintains his position::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Says over his shoulder:: XO: How are things looking over there, Sir?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Looks up at the viewscreen::

CTO_Marek says:
CIV: First target hit. Continuing with the maneuver. 

PO3_Charlton says:
::Starts to go limp::

CMO_Tae says:
PO3: Better?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Makes a few adjustments to the ships systems to keep her working at optimal performance::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Hears an alarm beep::  CO: Sir, the distortion wave knocked the satellite out of orbit, though if we chase it we will lose our sheer.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO/CSO: Sir, sensors report the satellite has been knock out of orbit and is falling into the planet.

PO3_Charlton says:
CMO: Oooooooooh, yeaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh.

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO: Be ready to call off the exercise if we need to.  Switch to Delta 4 Alpha  and see what response times are like.

Host James says:
Action: There are more reports of radiation illnesses coming in to Sickbay.

CMO_Tae says:
PO3: Good, good.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Stands quickly:: OPS: Can we lock onto it and pull it out?

XO_Hicks says:
CEO: Shield emitters are in good condition.

CEO_Corjet says:
XO: Great, keep up the good work.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Not from here!

CNS_Toni says:
::Enters Sickbay::

CTO_Marek says:
CIV: Proceeding. Computer will analyze. Calling off exercise now.

XO_Hicks says:
CEO: Thank you, Sir.  ::Smiles::

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: All power is going to shields and the emitters.

PO3_Charlton says:
::Starts to go into slumber::

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO> ::Sighs as a few of his engineers have to report to Sickbay because of radiation sickness::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Sighs::  OPS: Well, if there is nothing we can do.....

CTO_Marek says:
::Concentrating on the real situation::

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: We need more power.  We only have three meters, though it should be large enough for a message right now.

CMO_Tae says:
PO3:  Let me know if you need anything.  ::Begins treating the other patients::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Laughs:: XO: There's no need to call me, Sir, Sir!  ::Laughs again::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO/OPS: Send the message.

FCO_Stricker says:
::Watches to see if the ship is safe::

PO3_Charlton says:
::Out like a light::

CNS_Toni says:
::Walks over to the CMO::

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Aye sending message now.  ::Sends message, hopes for a reply with the wormhole open::

XO_Hicks says:
::Laughing:: CEO: I'll try to keep that in mind.

CTO_Marek says:
TO: Let's take a look at the shield back up systems.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Sits back down and monitors the command console::

CMO_Tae says:
::Looks up at Toni::  CNS:  What can I do for you, are you sick too?

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Sir, I believe I can enlarge it, though the deflector dish will be burnt out in the process.

TO_Corjet says:
CTO: What are we looking for?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: I prefer to wait to see what happens to our communiqué before we do anything further.

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: Sir, I think we've run out of options.  We have to go the Klingon route.  I think if we wait too long, Mr. Marek's predictions will come true.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CIV: Noted.

CTO_Marek says:
TO: Looking for? I just wanted to check our shield back up systems, that's all, Tasha.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: No response so far.

CTO_Marek says:
CO: I'm afraid so, Captain.

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Aye, Sir, whether we can get the Erie through I'm not sure, though I can almost guarantee we can all get through in escape pods, though it would involve leaving and most likely destroying the Erie, but we would get home in a day, rather than nearly two years.

CNS_Toni says:
CMO: I'm here to make sure you have secured all medical equipment not in use. The ride may get bumpy and this stuff is very important, can't have any medical equipment getting broken.

CIV_Danforth says:
CSO: Is there a way we can open up the hole without burning up the deflector?

TO_Corjet says:
CTO: All right. I was only wondering if you had a specific problem in mind, Sir.

CTO_Marek says:
::Nods to the CO and the CIV and goes back to his work::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: I do not care for that option, Commander.  We will not leave the Erie behind.

TO_Corjet says:
::Starts a few diagnostics and watches::

CMO_Tae says:
CNS: I've done that already, yes.  Nothing will get broken.  Don't worry.

CSO_Pavielion says:
CIV: With the amount of power we will need I don't think so.

CTO_Marek says:
TO: You know me Tasha. I'm always worried about systems efficiency.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Starts gathering systems reports from all engineering stations and directs them to his logging computer memory banks:: Self: I'll have to wait.

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: Sir, could we send non-essential personnel home?  That would save power and resources.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CIV: Negative.  We stay together.  We are stronger together.

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: We could set autopilot to guide the Erie into the wormhole and hope she makes it, but other than that, if the opening won't enlarge to fit the Erie in then it's either go and hope she makes it or take the long route home.

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

TO_Corjet says:
::She smiled and shrugged:: CTO: My apologies, Sir.  Today seems strange.  I believe we should be checking for something but I don't know what.  It's just a hunch.  Again, I apologize.

TO_Corjet says:
::Watches as the diagnostics come in fine::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: If we cannot utilize the energy of the rings to speed our journey, then we will take the long way home.

MO_Sovok says:
::Looks at the CNS::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Sighs and watches his console, making sure everything is working fine.  Says in a low voice, almost whispering:: *OPS* What’s going on up there?

CTO_Marek says:
TO: Nevermind. I understand. You look really worried today.

Host James says:
Action: The Deflector Dish is starting to become over exerted.

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO: Satok?  I think we should run battle drills at least twice a week until we get home.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
OPS: The message?

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO: What do you think?

Host James says:
ACTION: The message was beamed through.

OPS_Kerst says:
*CEO* We opened a small hole and sent a message, but so far no reply.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Does his best to keep the deflector dish working properly:: *CSO* Deflector dish approaching limits, Sir!

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Aye, Sir, I have additional power standing by to try to enlarge the worm hole even more, though if we don't act soon the dish will burn itself out by holding the beam for so long.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: It went, but there's been no reply so far.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
OPS: Acknowledged.

CTO_Marek says:
CIV: Good suggestion. I will prepare a complete schedule for the next month? 

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Deactivate the beam.

CEO_Corjet says:
*OPS* Aye. ::Sighs as he battles with the deflector dish systems::

CNS_Toni says:
::Nods to the MO then turns to leave Sickbay::  MO: I'll check back later.

TO_Corjet says:
CTO: The diagnostic results agree in everything’s running at it's peak efficiency.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
FCO: Resume course for the Klingon border.

MO_Sovok says:
CNS: Okay.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Almost feels heart drop::  CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Deactivates power to the beam::

CMO_Tae says:
::Goes back to treating the patients::

FCO_Stricker says:
CO: Yes, Sir, setting course and standing by!

Host CO_Mitchell says:
FCO: Belay that order, Lieutenant.

FCO_Stricker says:
CO: Aye, Sir!

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Sir, are going to try the slingshot?

CIV_Danforth says:
::Wonders what's about to happen::

CTO_Marek says:
TO: Fine. Tasha. Danforth and I are thinking on having battle drills twice a week until we get back home. What do you think, any suggestions on that?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: I have reconsidered.  Please reactivate the beam and enlarge the opening.  We will try to use the wormhole to get us home.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Sighs with relief as the beam from the deflector dish is powered down.  Orders the Damage Control Teams into action:: Self: That was close.  She'll need another servicing.

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO> ::Monitors the gel packs and has one bypassed and changed out::

FCO_Stricker says:
CO: Shall I set course for inside the wormhole?  ::Gulps::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Feels heart jump back up, tries not to show emotion::  CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Taps badge::  *CEO* We need all the power you can give to the beam.  We get one-shot, Commander.

CIV_Danforth says:
CSO: I think I can maintain extra power to the dish by re routing power through the EPS conduits using a new pattern.

CSO_Pavielion says:
*CEO* And I mean ALL the power you can give.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Sir, we'll have to take just about everything else off-line to divert enough power to the dish to open a hole large enough for the Erie to pass through.

TO_Corjet says:
CTO: Only that they should be random in times otherwise they won’t be as accurate.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
OPS: Shut down all non-essential systems.  Evacuate the lower decks and cut power to the life support on those decks.  We will need every bit of power we can get.

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: It'll be one heck of a burst, but it should do the job.

CTO_Marek says:
TO: Agreed. I will work on the schedule. 

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Cutting power.

CEO_Corjet says:
*CSO* You nearly burned the system out, Sir.  ::Sighs and orders the Damage Control Teams to stand by:: You've had it all before.  You'll have it all again.  ::Gets a bit frustrated and directs the power into the deflector dish::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
OPS: Open a shipwide COM, please

OPS_Kerst says:
*ALL* All hands prepare for emergency power shut down, please move to designated safe areas.

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

CTO_Marek says:
::Prepares tactical systems for the power shut down::

FCO_Stricker says:
::Prepares for emergency shut down procedures::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Sighs and turns to XO:: XO: Looks like I don’t need you anymore.  You might be better off up on the Bridge, Sir.

CIV_Danforth says:
CSO: Great job, Mr. Pavielion.  Let's get this crew home.

CSO_Pavielion says:
*CEO* The dish will most likely get burned out and I know your teams are working as hard as possible, but it's either this or the two year route and I know you and your teams can pull it off.  We're all relying on this working.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*Ship Wide* This is the Captain.  We are preparing to enter the energy rings.  All personnel are to secure the ship immediately and prepare for a rough ride.  Mitchell, out.

CEO_Corjet says:
*OPS* Aye, Sir.  ::Sends out a message to all of his engineers telling them to  power down their stations::

XO_Hicks says:
CEO: Agreed.  It was an honor working with you, Randy.

CTO_Marek says:
CIV/TO: Here we go.

CIV_Danforth says:
::Sits down next to the Captain::  CO: I've always wanted to go surfing, Sir.  ::Smiles::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Taps the command console deactivating it::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Smiles and nods:: XO: It was my honor, Sir.  ::Turns back to his console as engineers scurry about Main Engineering::

XO_Hicks says:
::Heads for the Bridge::

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: The CEO is transferring all the power to the dish and I'm putting the modulations back in.  We should be ready in a few moments.

OPS_Kerst says:
*CEO* Prepare to send all power to the deflector and engines.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CIV: I have never gone surfing, however this should prove interesting.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Acknowledged.

CSO_Pavielion says:
*CEO*/OPS: Please inform me when all systems are ready.

Host James says:
Action: Power is cut and rerouted to the deflector dish.

XO_Hicks says:
::Enters the Bridge and sits next to the CO::  CO: Sir.

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: Believe me.  I think this will be more fun.

TO_Corjet says:
::She made a few last minute changes just before the power was cut::

CTO_Marek says:
OPS: Tactical systems down, Kerst. You got the control. ::Taps on his console::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Brings up all power generation systems.  Sets the warp core to power mode generation, starts re-directing the power to the deflector dish:: *OPS* You got it, Kerst. ::Continues tapping on the console::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Nods to the XO:: XO: Commander, we are about ready to head into the rings.

TO_Corjet says:
::Almost holds her breath in anticipation::

FCO_Stricker says:
Self: Get us through this.  Whoever is up there, get us through this.

OPS_Kerst says:
CSO: All systems are down.  Power diverted to deflector and engines.

CEO_Corjet says:
*OPS* How about life support?  I mean we can last about 12 hours if they're cut for a while.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Redirects the beam to compensate for the planet's rotation to make sure they hit the same spot::

XO_Hicks says:
CO: Understood.  God bless us all.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Looks at Hicks and nods::

OPS_Kerst says:
*CEO* For now everything.  Hopefully we'll bring life support backup before then.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Tunes the warp core for redline power generation mode::*OPS* The core is at redline.

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Ready Sir, all power transferred and the dish is fully powered and saturated.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Very well, activate the beam.  ::Looks up at the viewscreen::

OPS_Kerst says:
CSO: It’s now or never, the core is redlined.  We've got one shot.

FCO_Stricker says:
::Takes deep breath and concentrates on some meditation exercises from this Master::

CSO_Pavielion says:
