Host AGM_Darlene says:
Prelude: The Erie is at Warp 1 and has resumed course for Sector 49665.  The MO is in Sickbay with the CEO and TO awaiting the birth of the twins.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Resume Kootenai Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CIV_Danforth says:
::Sitting to the right of the Captain and going over the reports for the strike team from CTO Marek::

TO_Corjet says:
::In sickbay wondering about her babies::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Walks into Sickbay carrying Nalis Corjet.  Smiles as he sees his Ahkayah:: Nalis: There's mom.  ::Walks up to her::

CNS_West says:
::Finishing transferring data to CSO and begins to pack up her gear::

FCO_Stricker says:
::On the Bridge and at the conn::

OPS_Kerst says:
::On the Bridge at OPS station::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Standing on the Bridge conferring with the CIV.  Turns and begins walking around stopping to look at consoles::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Stands at main science, looks around at the moderately well lit room, goes back to reviewing the sensor logs::

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO: I think we've got a pretty good team assembled so far, Satok.

CEO_Corjet says:
Tasha: I've brought Nalis. ::Smiles with a giggle::

FCO_Stricker says:
OPS: Hello, Sir, how are you today?

CNS_West says:
::Putting finishing touches on packing, goes to console and sends subspace message to Kootenai Station::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Looks over as the console beeps, presses a button::  *CNS* thank you Commander, the transfer is complete.

Host AGM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The TO's contractions are becoming more frequent and more painful.  The time of the birth is near.

TO_Corjet says:
::Looks up at Randy and Nalis forcing a smile::

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO: Should we confer with the Captain about the proposal?

CTO_Marek says:
CIV: I think so, but I am still worried about the team member selection procedures.

Corjet_Nalis says:
::Watching dad as he carries him, but giggles in excitement at seeing mom, reaches for her::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Restrains Nalis but moves him closer::

CNS_West says:
::Remembers that she wants to attend Birth of the twins and leaves her office for Sickbay::

TO_Corjet says:
::She reaches out and touches Nalis' hand, then turns her attention back to her stomach::

CTO_Marek says:
::Begins transferring all the memos concerning the new and improved ESF-1 to a PADD::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Brings up the crew logs on an adjacent panel and picks up reading them where he left off::

MO_Sovok says:
::Taps on his tricorder, waiting for the right time::

CNS_West says:
::Enters turbolift:: Sickbay.

Corjet_Nalis says:
::Tries to grab one of mom's fingers with little success, then turns his attention back to dad::

SO_Taliza says:
@::On the runabout Thames en route from Kootenai Station to rendezvous with the Erie::

CTO_Marek says:
::Raises an eyebrow while waits for Danforth's answer:: CIV: Anything wrong?

Host AGM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The runabout Thames is on its way to rendezvous with the Erie.  It is 2 weeks from the rendezvous coordinates.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Watches some on going traffic on the COM system::

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO: No, no, just going over the list one more time before we show the Captain.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Plays with Nalis' little fingers while standing next to his wife.  Gently, reassuringly squeezes her hand:: Tasha: I'm a love a you.

TO_Corjet says:
::Sighs deeply::  MO: How much longer?

MO_Sovok says:
::Glances at Randy then back down to his tricorder::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Sighs, perks up though when he begins to encounter logs involving massive power failure and damage to the vessel::

FCO_Stricker says:
::Monitoring course and speed::

SO_Taliza says:
@COM: Erie: Thames to Erie, please respond.

CNS_West says:
::Enters Sickbay and walks over toward Tasha::

CTO_Marek says:
CIV: Agreed.  Let's see, so far we have10 possible candidates.

MO_Sovok says:
TO: Not much longer.  You’re almost fully dilated.

CIV_Danforth says:
::Nodding at the CTO's assessment::

TO_Corjet says:
::She forces another smile for Randy::  I love you too.  Let’s just put a hold on the children for a while okay?

OPS_Kerst says:
::Thinks how peaceful everything s going::

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO: I think 5 of them are very strong candidates for sure.

TO_Corjet says:
::Nods:: MO: Good.

Host AGM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The contractions are very close together now.

Corjet_Nalis says:
::Grips a piece of dad's uniform and chews on it, busying himself::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Looks all over the log entry for a Stardate or time index::

TO_Corjet says:
::Closes her eyes and squeezes Randy’s hand as another contraction rips through her::

CNS_West says:
MO: Do you mind if I give you a hand? That is if you need me?  Otherwise I will just observe.

CTO_Marek says:
CIV: Lieutenant Stricker insisted several times to be included. I think this is our best candidate for covering the first squad leadership.

MO_Sovok says:
CNS: Your welcome to.  Help is always welcome.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Sits down in the command chair reading a PADD::

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO: I'd have to agree.  Lieutenant Stricker seems more than capable of handling command of a squad.  But who should work with him?

TO_Corjet says:
::Opens her eyes again as the contraction subsides and sees the CNS::  CNS: Hello, Toni, come for moral support?

SO_Taliza says:
@::Tries the hail again:: COM: Erie: Thames to Erie.  This is Lieutenant Junior Grade Taliza.  Please respond.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Frowns at how imprecise the Berkanti's logs are::

CNS_West says:
MO: Surely.

MO_Sovok says:
TO: I can see the baby's head, start to push, Tasha.

FCO_Stricker says:
::Monitors present course and speed::

Host AGM_Darlene says:
ACTION: There is no response to the hails.  The Erie is out of communications range.

CTO_Marek says:
::The data transfer is complete:: CIV: Well, I think we should rotate the command and training responsibilities among you, Tasha and me. 

CNS_West says:
TO: Yes, Tasha, I came just for your support.  You are doing fine.

TO_Corjet says:
::Looks up at Sovok::  MO: What? Now??

MO_Sovok says:
TO: Yes, now.

SO_Taliza says:
@Ensign Torez: It seems we're a bit out of range right now, Ensign.

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO: I think if we take them in groups of three and each of train in specific areas, we can maximize our efforts, much like a medical school.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Silently listens to the CTO, and CIV::

TO_Corjet says:
::Feels like crying, but tries hard not to.  Let’s go of Randy's hand, knowing she would hurt him if she doesn't and takes a deep breath and pushes::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Holds her hand and cringes a bit. Holds Nalis close::

TO_Corjet says:
::Begins to count to ten in her mind::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Glances over at ship sensors and sees nothing::  OPS: approximately when is the runabout supposed to arrive?

MO_Sovok says:
TO: That’s good Tasha.. Good.

CNS_West says:
@SO: Well, you can try again in about a couple of hours.

TO_Corjet says:
::Breaths wheezed out of her::  MO: I don't want to do this right now....

Host AGM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The baby is beginning to emerge.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Sobs a bit as he looks to Tasha:: Nalis: Your sisters are about ready...

CTO_Marek says:
::Nods:: CIV: I think that we should include the Medical staff in our plans.  ::Taps on the PADD::

Corjet_Nalis says:
::Looks up at the noise from mom, slightly concerned because these noises aren't normal::

MO_Sovok says:
TO: Your almost there...  Tasha.. You have to.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Checks schedule:: CSO: It looks like not for another 2 weeks at our present speed.

FCO_Stricker says:
::Monitors present course and speed::

Host AGM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The CEO begins to feel dizzy.

TO_Corjet says:
::Bites down hard and loses control over blocking the link.  Randy can feel all the pain now. Takes another deep breath and pushes with all her might::

CSO_Pavielion says:
OPS: acknowledged, do we know which runabout they will be traveling in, so I can set ship sensors to scan for its transponder frequency?

Host AGM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The first baby is almost out.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Staggers a bit as his feelings start to overwhelm him, and tears flow down his cheek.  Hands Nalis to a nurse as he holds onto the side of a biobed::

MO_Sovok says:
TO: Almost there...one more push, Tasha.

CTO_Marek says:
CIV: Ok. Listen, what are your ideas for Intelligence training?

CNS_West says:
::Places her hand on Tasha's head as she leans into her pushing phase::

OPS_Kerst says:
All: Any bets on weather Randy will make it through the delivery or will he faint?

FCO_Stricker says:
CSO: The runabout is on an intercept course with us, Sir.

TO_Corjet says:
::Let’s out her breath in a scream this time and tears start to come down her cheeks::

SO_Taliza says:
@Ensign Torez: Of course, we're not scheduled to rendezvous with the Erie for a couple weeks.  Too bad we couldn't meet up with the crew at Kootenai.

CIV_Danforth says:
::Considers the CTO's words and says thoughtfully:: CTO: I'm not sure.  We should probably pick out one medical officer to work with both groups.  I believe one of the candidates has emergency med tech training, and I'm a certified doctor, too.

MO_Sovok says:
TO: Come on Tasha.. You can do it. One more push.

TO_Corjet says:
::Looks at Randy's face and takes another breath, pushing with all she has::

CTO_Marek says:
CIV: Certified Doctor? I didn't know that.

Corjet_Nalis says:
::At the scream from mom, he beings to whimper, knowing something isn't right, but not understanding what::

Host AGM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The first baby is out.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Staggers a bit more and wipes the rivers of joy falling down his face.  Stands next to the nurse who's holding Nalis and takes his hand in his:: Nalis: They're coming. ::Turns to Tasha, his beloved wife for life::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Frowns at the betting going on while on the Bridge, sighs and decides to not mention it given the circumstances::

MO_Sovok says:
::Takes the baby gently and cuts the umbilical cord:: TO: Good job, Tasha.

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO: I think we'll cover the basics of intelligence with this group.  Entering into locked areas, warp speed beam in, the Picard maneuver with a runabout, things like that.

Host AGM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The TO feels a bit of relief for a few moments and then the contractions begin again.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Sobs and cries with love and joy, feeling very dizzy:: Tasha: Ahkayah!!!!

CSO_Pavielion says:
FCO: Lieutenant Stricker, have you been successful in re-evaluating your calculations for our trip to Sector 49665?

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO: I'm full of surprises Mr. Marek.

TO_Corjet says:
::Falls back hard onto the bio bed and thinks: Please, not the other one, not now.  Cringes as the tears flow down her cheek during yet another contraction::

Host AGM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The head of the second baby can be seen.

MO_Sovok says:
::Hands the baby to Randy gently and then turns his attention back to Tasha::

Corjet_Nalis says:
::Looks over at dad, momentarily distracted and calmed by his calm::

CNS_West says:
@<Ensign Torez> SO: Yes, it would have been better than trying to get to them before they get deeper into their present mission.

FCO_Stricker says:
CSO: Yes, Sir, I simply inputted the wrong equations, honest mistake.

CNS_West says:
::Watching the twins being born, intently::

MO_Sovok says:
TO: Come on, Tasha, you can do it.

CTO_Marek says:
CIV: That's fine.. ::Taps again on the PADD:: Considering that we haven't got much time to organize this in case of obtain the Captain's approval, I think we must design a extremely intensive training program. Not longer than three weeks.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Walks to Sovok, and takes his baby:: Tasha: Who's this one? ::Looks to Tasha and then back to the baby::

TO_Corjet says:
::Looks at the tiny baby now in Randy’s arms and smiles softly::  Randy: That's Emilia.  ::Looks back at Sovok and nods, taking another deep breath and pushes as hard as she can::  

SO_Taliza says:
@Ensign Torez: Of course, I've been on very weird missions right after transfers.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Sobs and cries some more::  Emilia: Love you.  ::Holds her close::

CNS_West says:
::Smiles at the first child being held by her father::

CSO_Pavielion says:
FCO: Acknowledged, I wanted to make sure everything had been corrected.

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO: Agreed.  I think rapid, thorough, intense training is the way to go.

Host AGM_Darlene says:
ACTION: A very strong contraction and the second baby emerges.

FCO_Stricker says:
OPS: Sir, remind me to pick up a deck so I can show you how to play Haw'lin.  I'll beat you again like last week in the lounge.

CTO_Marek says:
<Tactical Relief Officer>  ::Hands the CTO a report PADD::

CTO_Marek says:
Tactical Relief Officer: Thanks, Ensign.

MO_Sovok says:
TO: Good job, Tasha, you’re doing fine.  Just keep it up.  ::Hands the CNS a medical tricorder:: CNS: Check her vitals.

FCO_Stricker says:
CSO: Aye, Sir, it has been! ::Smiles::

Corjet_Nalis says:
::Very interested in the new babies in the room, wondering where they came from::

CTO_Marek says:
<Tactical Relief Officer>  ::Nods:: CTO: Sir.  ::Walks back to a tactical console::

MO_Sovok says:
::Takes the second baby and cuts its cord, handing it to Tasha::

TO_Corjet says:
::Looks at Sovok:: That didn't hurt as much.  Is she doing okay?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Wipes his tears on his sleeve and walks next to Tasha:: Tasha: Here she.. ::Bursts out sobbing and crying::

CNS_West says:
@<Ensign Torez> SO: Well, I hear the Erie has gone on some very dramatic missions, so I guess you and I will have our hands full of adventures!

OPS_Kerst says:
FCO: Hey, I almost had you.

Host AGM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The TO is finally able to enjoy some relief as she hears her babies crying loudly.

CTO_Marek says:
CIV: Okay, anything else to discuss?

CNS_West says:
::Smiles and blows a sigh of relief for Tasha as the second baby finally is born::

FCO_Stricker says:
OPS: I know.  When you yelled Fra'katoo I thought I was done.  It was a good thing Tucker found more ale for us to drink.

MO_Sovok says:
::Glances at the CNS then checks his own tricorder:: TO: They are both doing as well as can be expected, they’re fine.

TO_Corjet says:
::Looks down at Mikayla and sighs as she had been so worried.   Takes Emilia from Randy in her other arm and smiles with relief::

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO: I don't think so.  It looks like we've covered everything.

CNS_West says:
MO:  I sure would not have wanted to be on the other side of that biobed today!

CTO_Marek says:
CIV: I agree. Hey, we haven't reserved the holodeck for our Parisses Square game!

CEO_Corjet says:
::Goes and gets Nalis, holds him:: Tasha: She looks like you.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Looks back down at his console, inputs a set of commands and begins the frustrating job of finding an approximate Stardate as to when the ship was hit::

TO_Corjet says:
::She laughs::  Randy: You'd say that if she looked nothing like me!

MO_Sovok says:
::Looks at the family, not wanting to interrupt. Closes his tricorder and watches, smiling::

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO: Darn! That's right.  And with Ensign Neyland around, it'll be hard to find spare time.  He loves running his programs.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Looks up as the crew carries on with their daily duties then looks back down at the PADD, tapping the button::

CNS_West says:
::Makes a mental picture of the happy family::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Smiles, beaming:: Tasha: She does. ::Kisses her forehead:: See?

MO_Sovok says:
::Slips his tricorder in it's Holder and backs away against the wall, watching to make sure everything goes well::

CNS_West says:
::Touches Tasha's hand. TO: Congratulations.

Host AGM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Time warp!  Two weeks have passed and the Thames is nearing the rendezvous coordinates.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Begins filing a report on the Berkanti ship::

CNS_West says:
::Leaves Sickbay::

SO_Taliza says:
@::Hails the Erie::  COM: Erie: Thames to Erie.

CTO_Marek says:
CIV: Neyland, Yes. I will ask him to see the CNS.  I think we are dealing with a holodeck addiction case.

MO_Sovok says:
::Walks around Sickbay, still wishing Kara could have been here for what had happened two weeks ago::

CNS_West says:
@<Ensign Torez> SO: Are they responding now?

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Closes the data file as he finishes the report::

SO_Taliza says:
@CNS Torez: Just give them a moment.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Thinks they should be hearing from the Thames anytime now::

TO_Corjet says:
::She gently places Emilia and Mikayla in their crib in the nursery then goes over to Nalis and hugs him.  Puts him down and hurries to the Bridge knowing she's late::

TO_Corjet says:
::Enters turbolift: Bridge.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Walks out of the Ready Room onto the Bridge::  All: Report!

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO: So has the Captain come to a decision yet, Satok?  We're nearing the rendezvous point.

MO_Sovok says:
::Sits down and sighs looking at the tricorder he used that day and decides to keep this one with him. He already had a favorite PADD, why not a favorite tricorder?::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Exits the nursery and finds himself in Main Engineering::  EO: Status report?

FCO_Stricker says:
OPS: That Tucker, eh?  He's got to be the best Chief Petty Officer I've ever seen.  Well, there was a SCPO while I was on the Pen but he died at the hands of the Bellicose.  ::Hangs head down::

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: All systems green. Still no word from the Thames although we expect to hear from them anytime now.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Remembers that the Thames is supposed to be arriving soon, checks sensor and performs another long range scan::  CO: I am currently scanning the sector for signs of the runabout, Sir, they should show up anytime now.

TO_Corjet says:
::Exits the turbolift and enters the Bridge::  CTO: Sir, reporting for duty. ::A smile hovers on her lips::

CTO_Marek says:
CIV: I haven't received her answer yet, CIV: You understand it's a hard decision to make for a Captain.

FCO_Stricker says:
CO: Maintaining present course and speed, Sir.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Acknowledged.

MO_Sovok says:
::Puts it back in its holder and paces Sickbay, thinking::

SO_Taliza says:
@::Tries hailing again::  COM: Erie: Thames to Erie!  This is the Thames calling the USS Erie!  Please respond!

Host CO_Mitchell says:
OPS: Acknowledged.  FCO: Acknowledged.

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO Ko`Tar> ::Smiles:: CEO: Just a moment, Sir. ::Taps a few commands into the console then steps to the next console and taps in another sequence of commands:: All systems fully operational, Sir.  ::Smiles::  Congratulations on the birth of your daughters.  I stand relieved.  ::Moves aside to another set of console::

OPS_Kerst says:
COM: Thames: This is the Erie, go ahead, Thames.

CNS_West says:
::Walks into Sickbay::

CTO_Marek says:
TO: Glad to see you here again, Tasha. ::Nods to the TO:: How are your children?

CEO_Corjet says:
EO: Good work Ko`Tar.  ::Nods and takes his place in Main Engineering::

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO: Of course.  I have faith in the Captain's judgment no matter which way she decides.

CNS_West says:
MO: I will be taking the Berkanti child to Kootenai station as soon as the runabout arrives, is he ready?

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: We have the Thames on the COM.

SO_Taliza says:
@::Mumbles:: Finally!  COM: Erie: This is Lieutenant Junior Grade Taliza Cal with Ensign Torez.  We're nearing the rendezvous coordinates.

TO_Corjet says:
CTO: The children are all doing well.  Nalis seems to like the new additions to the family.  ::Smiles and laughs::  And I like being able to move freely again.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
OPS: On screen.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Puts Thames on main view screen::  CO: Done.

SO_Taliza says:
@COM: CO: Aye, Captain.  Thames, out.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Hears OPS's report, checks the results of the sensor scan right after he says it and notices a small blip appear on the console::  CO: We have them on sensors now, Captain.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Prepares transporter coordinates::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
OPS: Notify Commander West the Thames has arrived.  Have her report to Transporter Room 1 with the Berkanti child and Lieutenant Anderson.

TO_Corjet says:
::She takes up her position::

CNS_West says:
MO: My pleasure, I will miss you.  I know you will continue to save lives and you be well yourself.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

CTO_Marek says:
TO: I'm glad to hear that.  ::Hands her a PADD::  Take a look at this. It's something on which CIV and I have been working on.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Giggles:: *FCO* Thanks. ::Taps a series of commands into the Master Systems Display::

CNS: Well, goodbye.  ::Smiles::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Runs a system’s check on all flight systems.  Starts with the RCS, then moves to the impulse engines and ends up with the warp core::  Looking good.

CTO_Marek says:
TO: Remember that ESF-1 affair? This is our improved proposal for the Captain to make it official.

SO_Taliza says:
@::Maneuvers the Thames into position and brings it to a full stop:: CNS Torez: Better get to the transporter pad.

::Sees the energy surge, but let’s the CSO report it::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Waits patiently for the CSO's report::

TO_Corjet says:
*CNS* That would be nice but not exactly easy at the moment.  Perhaps we will have to put it off until tomorrow?

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Gets a fuzzy feedback, increases resolution and tries again::  CO: It seems to be some sort of energy signature.

SO_Taliza says:
::Helps the CSO amplify the sensors::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Can you get a fix on the location?

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Coordinates 374 Mark 1. ::Transfers the coordinates to the FCO's console::

TO_Corjet says:
CTO/CIV: Good idea, Sir.

CNS_Alana says:
*TO* Sure, I hope nothing is wrong?

Host CO_Mitchell says:

*TO* Yes with your group, I guess you are.  See you tomorrow, then.

OPS_Kerst says:
*CEO* Heads up. We've picked up and energy surge and are going to investigate.

SO_Taliza says:
CSO: ::Whispers:: Commander, sorry about what I said about a month ago when I first came on board, Sir.

TO_Corjet says:
::Mentally maps out her schedule and hopes that somewhere, she could find some time to relax a little and see her babies::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Blinks as the SO speaks::  SO: Don't worry about it Lieutenant, it happens more than you think.

CSO_Pavielion says:
SO: I am getting some negative feedback from the port sensor nodes on deck ten.  They were repaired a month earlier and have not been calibrated yet.  Would you please take charge and see to it, Lieutenant?

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO Jo> ::Arrives on Deck 9 and starts checking the power relays:: EO: Take the secondary bank first.  We'll handle the primaries.

CTO_Marek says:
::Hears the tactical console beeping:: CIV/TO: Wait a minute.

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO/TO: Well, intelligence training is going well, but some are catching on better than others.  Three in particular are picking up things very quickly.  Especially FCO Stricker.  He's turning out to be very good.

SO_Taliza says:
CSO: I'm on it, Sir.  ::Recalibrates sensors and whispers::  When I was younger, I had a morbid fear of snakes.

CEO_Corjet says:
*OPS* Aye, Sir. ::Laughs a bit:: Thanks for the heads up.  ::Heads over to Main Engineering proper::

*CEO* Prep for shields and possibly engines, if we have to run.

Host AGM_Darlene says:
<FCO> CO: Sir, we are approaching the coordinates.

CEO_Corjet says:
Engineers: Get on your toes!  We're going to investigate some energy surge and that’s all I know.  ::Heads to the MSD::

TO_Corjet says:
::Nods::  CIV/CTO: That doesn’t surprise me. My training is working out well, there haven't been many set backs as of yet and I'm right on track as far as lesson plans go. However, it's hard to tell how people will react in high stress conditions.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
FCO: Very well, slow to 1/4 impulse.  CSO: Begin full scans.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Continues to sweep the area with sensors::  SO: Understood, but please understand, despite what an OPS officer might say  ::Frowns::  I don't bite.

::Waits in Sickbay patiently.   Wonders why he hasn't checked on Kara lately::

OPS_Kerst says:
::Hears Randy Yawn:: *CEO* Still not sleeping through the night are they?

Host AGM_Darlene says:
ACTION: As they approach they discover a subspace anomaly forming.  As the crew performs their scans, the anomaly begins to become unstable, the gravity well becoming stronger.

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO Jo> ::Finishes his diagnosis of the power relays on Deck 9.  Finds nothing wrong with them except for the fact that they're almost ready for the change out::

SO_Taliza says:
CSO: Sir, I'm picking up a strong gravity well from that location!

Host AGM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The Erie begins to shudder under the stresses.

CIV_Danforth says:
TO: Good point, Tasha.

CTO_Marek says:
CIV/TO: I found the FCO Stricker and Ensign Ramsey were the best in the tactical training and ... wait….trouble incoming.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Gets strange readings back::  SO: I am getting it to ::Turns to the Captain::  CO: Sir, an intense gravity well is forming in this area, Sir.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Begins shaking in her chair::  FCO: Back us off, Ensign.  Full reverse.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Clears his throat:: *OPS* No, not yet.  ::Giggles cause he loves it.  Then stretches and almost falls but catches himself:: Whoa!

CIV_Danforth says:
TO: I think .... ::Hears sounds::

CTO_Marek says:
::Focuses the short-range sensors on the anomaly:: 

SO_Taliza says:
::Tries to steady himself by holding onto the console::

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Stress on the structural integrity field increasing!

Host AGM_Darlene says:
<FCO> CO: Aye, Sir!  Full reverse!

MO_Sovok says:
::Feels shacking in Sickbay and looks around.  Taps his COM badge:: CO: Sir, what’s going on?

CNS_Alana says:
::In her office studying, feels the ship begin to shake::

TO_Corjet says:
::Grabs her console to steady herself::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
OPS: Increase power to the structural integrity field.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

OPS_Kerst says:
*CEO* I'm diverting more power to the structural integrity field.  ::Diverts power to structural integrity field::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Waves over to his secondary engineers to move into positions:: Engineers: Here we go!

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*MO* Nothing to worry about, Ensign.

MO_Sovok says:
*CO* Aye, Sir.

CSO_Pavielion says:
SO: Run full scans of that anomaly.  Try to find a way to seal it if we need it.

CNS_Alana says:
::Reaches over to turn on the COM to Bridge::

SO_Taliza says:
CSO: Aye, Sir. ::Monitors the anomaly::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Taps at the console:: *OPS* Aye, I’m bringing the secondary generators online.

TO_Corjet says:
::Mutters to herself::  Self: What is going on?  What is that?

CIV_Danforth says:
::Looks at the screen and then at the monitors at a console near the CTO::

Host AGM_Darlene says:
ACTION: As the Erie backs away the shuddering subsides.  The tactical sensors begin beeping.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Stands as she hears the alert:: CTO: Report.

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Sir, I think I got something.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
FCO: All stop.

TO_Corjet says:
::Taps her console to find out what it is::

OPS_Kerst says:
::Hopes none of the power relays have cracked under the stress::

Host AGM_Darlene says:
<FCO> CO: Aye, Sir, all stop.  ::Taps helm controls::

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO Jo> ::Logs in his report on the power relays and quickly heads back to Main Engineering::

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Working on that, Sir.

Host AGM_Darlene says:
ACTION:  Sensors indicate a small vessel trapped inside the anomaly.  The massive energy disturbance prevents positive ID of the vessel.

CNS_Alana says:
::Reads report of how CNS West used to monitor the Bridge on away mission and decides to continue the practice:

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: If we have to, Sir, I think we can set up a reverse polaron field to push us away from the gravity well.

SO_Taliza says:
CSO: Are you picking this up, Sir?

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Wonders how difficult it would be to have a routine trip to Sector 49665. Continues monitoring sensors and reviews feedback from the anomaly::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CIV: We seem to be out of danger for the moment, Commander.

CTO_Marek says:
CO: A small vessel is inside the anomaly.  There is too much interference to identify it.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
OPS: Increase power to the sensors.  CSO: Scan the vessel for life signs.

MO_Sovok says:
::Taps on a wall console and opens an active view of the main screen on the Bridge to watch what is going on::

SO_Taliza says:
All: I can try to boost the gain on the sensors to see what it is.

CSO_Pavielion says:
SO: Vaguely, Lieutenant.  Trying narrowing the scanning radius and increasing power to the lateral sensors.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Aye, Sir, diverting power to forward sensor grid.  ::Diverts power::

TO_Corjet says:
::Wonders to herself::  CTO: Would it be possible to get a tractor beam on the ship without getting too close ourselves?

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Aye, Sir, doing so now.

CTO_Marek says:
CO: I detect no weaponry. 

CEO_Corjet says:
::While tapping commands into the Inertial Dampening systems and Structural Integrity Field systems:: *OPS* I noticed we've stopped shuddering.  Can you give any more info?  ::Looks over to his assistant::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
OPS: Try to lock onto it with our tractor beam.  ::Looks at the viewscreen::

SO_Taliza says:
CSO: I'll try that.  ::Narrows beam, boosts power to lateral sensors and increases gain::

CTO_Marek says:
CO: I wouldn't recommend that, Sir, the anomaly could drag us in.

OPS_Kerst says:
*CEO* There's a ship stuck in the anomaly.  We're going to try to tractor it. Give me everything you have for the tractor beam.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Trying to lock on now.  ::Tries to lock tractor beam onto ship::

Host AGM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The vessel is out of tractor range.

CTO_Marek says:
TO: I consider it too much risky.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Sees the diversion of power to the sensors and brings up a small window of the sensor scans then boosts the gain on the sensors:: *OPS* Aye.  ::Taps into the tractor beam and boosts its power and gain too::

TO_Corjet says:
::Nods::  CTO: My thoughts too.

CTO_Marek says:
::Increases power to the shields::

MO_Sovok says:
::Sighs and takes out his PADD, laying down on a biobed and reading a novel he put on the PADD earlier::

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: We're to far out.  We need to get closer to lock on.

CSO_Pavielion says:
SO: Prep a class one probe.  It may not last long in there but we may get a few seconds of clear telemetry with it.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Looks to OPS::  OPS: Acknowledged.

CTO_Marek says:
::Runs a full tactical scan over the vessel::

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: Sir, what if we use the polaron beam to push us away while tractoring the vessel?

SO_Taliza says:
CSO: Aye, Sir.  ::Preps probe:: Probe ready for launch.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Yellow Alert.  Raise shields.

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: We would lock onto the vessel inside but be able to push or at least keep our distance.  Sort of like fishing, if you understand the reference, Sir.

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Sir, I am unable to determine the status of the ship or if anyone is inside.  We might try launching a probe.  It would be destroyed shortly after entering the anomaly, but we may get a few moments of clear scanning, Sir.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CIV: We shall attempt to move in closer and lock onto the vessel with the tractor beam.  Prepare the polaron beam.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO/CIV: The problem will be not getting torn to shreds by the sheer forces near the anomaly.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks at the sensor readouts.  Knows that they're too far and assumes that they'll be heading back in.  Sees the Yellow Alert mode.  Quickly brings up all of the Secondary systems and has the backup ones on hot standby:: *OPS* All systems fully operational.  Back-ups on hot standby at your discretion.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Negative, Commander, there is no time.

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Shields at 100%. 

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: Polaron beam ready at your command.  Tractor beam in place.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
OPS: Reroute power to the structural integrity field and shields.  We are going in.

OPS_Kerst says:
*CEO* Prepare full power to tractor beam, shields and structural integrity field.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Already on it, Sir.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Nods to the crew::  FCO: Move us in slowly, Ensign.

SO_Taliza says:
::Tries to use whatever available power there is for the sensors to help its resolution::

OPS_Kerst says:
::Diverts power to structural integrity field, shields and tractor beam::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Presses the proper controls:: *OPS* Got it! ::Looks over to his engineers, letting them know they better be ready::

CSO_Pavielion says:
SO: Monitor the gravitational sheer, we won't last long if it exceeds safety limits.

TO_Corjet says:
CO: Ma'am, someone’s alive in there.

SO_Taliza says:
CSO: Aye, Sir.  ::Starts to monitor sheer::

Host AGM_Darlene says:
<FCO> CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Engages thrusters and moves the ship closer to the anomaly::

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Sir, we are monitoring the gravitation sheer, though it is already approaching red line.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Looks over to the TO::  TO: Alive?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Asks the Nursery supervisor to make sure that their children are safe and taken care of then goes back to his duties::

OPS_Kerst says:
::Monitors stresses on the ship’s hull::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Acknowledged.

MO_Sovok says:
::Sets down the PADD and gets ready to end his shift, cleaning things up and getting all of his belongings together::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
OPS: Keep us together, Commander.

SO_Taliza says:
CO/CSO: Sir, Ma'am, I don't know how long until it passes safeties.

CIV_Danforth says:
All: Let's catch us a big one.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: It would be easier if we weren’t flying into this anomaly but I'll manage somehow.

Host AGM_Darlene says:
