Host AGM_Darlene says:
Prelude:
After resuming course to Sector 49665 the Erie then altered course to investigate an unknown energy surge and upon arrival found a subspace anomaly forming.  Sensors detected a small, unidentified vessel trapped within the anomaly and the Erie is now moving into tractor beam range to initiate a rescue attempt.

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

CIV_Danforth says:
::Moving from his familiar chair to handle Operations, Danforth rises and takes the familiar position like an old rocking chair::

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Red alert status engaged. No weapon activity detected aboard the alien vessel. The life sign is faint.

SO_Taliza says:
::Keeping sensors focused on whatever it is inside that ship::

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: Sir, the polaron beam is ready.  You can engage the tractor beam at any time.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Acknowledged.

TO_Corjet says:
::Runs her fingers through her hair as she heads to the turbolift::

FCO_Stricker says:
::At Bridge and at conn::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CIV: Acknowledged.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Alerts the science department to report to damage stations and prepare to approach the anomaly::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Sitting in the command chair::  CIV: As soon as we are within tractor range, lock onto the vessel.  FCO: Prepare to go to full reverse thrusters at my command.

TO_Corjet says:
::Enters turbolift:: Shuttlebay.

FCO_Stricker says:
::Ready engines:: CO: Aye, Sir!

MO_Sovok says:
::Gathers some medical supplies and a small team of Medics and heads down to the Shuttlebay ::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Begins recording data on the anomaly and studies its features::

CNS_Alana says:
::Gathering up her message PADDs and heading for the Bridge::

Host AGM_Darlene says:
ACTION: As the Erie moves slowly towards the subspace anomaly the gravitational forces start to have an affect on the hull.  Structural integrity field and inertial dampening field systems are straining against the forces.  The Erie begins to shudder under the stresses.

CIV_Danforth says:
::Activates all the consoles and configures them into his favorite patterns::

CTO_Marek says:
TO: Take ten men and assume position on the bay. You know the CO orders.

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Shields resisting at 98%.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Acknowledged.

CTO_Marek says:
::Avoids falling::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Shakes in her chair from the vibrations:: FCO: Steady as she goes, Lieutenant.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Grips onto his console to steady himself::

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: Sir, we're taking some strain from the anomaly.  Attempting to compensate.

SO_Taliza says:
CSO: The forces are getting too strong for her to hold together.

TO_Corjet says:
::She falls into the corner of the turbolift and wonders what's going on::

FCO_Stricker says:
CO: Aye, Sir! ::Enters a steady as she goes::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CIV: Reroute power to the structural integrity field and inertial dampening field.

TO_Corjet says:
::Realizes that they got to close to the anomaly again::

CIV_Danforth says:
::Begins to reroute power and reinforce the structural integrity field and inertial dampening field through tydyne relays::

Host AGM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The Erie begins to shudder and rock.

SO_Taliza says:
::Tries to steady himself against console::

CTO_Marek says:
::Struggling with the shields controls:: Self: Darn buttons!

CSO_Pavielion says:
SO: Acknowledged.  ::Turns to the CO::  CO: Sir, gravitational sheer is already at dangerous levels and sensors indicate it only gets stronger as we glow closer, we may not be able to hold together much longer.

FCO_Stricker says:
::Shakes in his seat::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Holds onto the arms of the command chair::  CIV: Keep us together, Mr. Danforth!

TO_Corjet says:
::Steadies herself in the corner::

MO_Sovok says:
::Braces himself against the wall as he steps off the turbolift::

CTO_Marek says:
CIV: I need extra power on the portside shield emitters!

CNS_Alana says:
::Walking to the turbolift, begins to sense the TO somewhere.  Feels the ship shaking::

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: Aye, Sir! ::Rerouting power to the portside shield emitters:: CTO: Mr. Marek, you've got all I can give you.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Scans for a type of "eye" within the anomaly where they may be able to avoid the sheering forces::

FCO_Stricker says:
CO: We’re in tractor beam range!

SO_Taliza says:
::Tries to scan inside that ship::

TO_Corjet says:
::Shudders slightly as she senses CNS Alana.  Doesn't know why she shudders, thinks it's merely because it's been so long since she's felt a Betazoid other then Tiara or Kara around::

CIV_Danforth says:
::Begins to shut down power from unnecessary functions and reroute them to the structural integrity field and inertial dampening field::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
<EO Chad> *Bridge* Engineering to the Bridge!  We can't sustain the stresses much longer, Captain!

TO_Corjet says:
::Finally gets off the turbolift::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CIV: Lock on the tractor beam!

CTO_Marek says:
::Reroutes the last drop of extra power he found to shields system::

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: Aye, Sir! ::Activating the tractor beam and the polaron beam simultaneously; it appears to work::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*EO Chad* Acknowledged.  We are almost there!  Full power to the tractor beam!

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Begins to bypass systems as the ship sustains damage from the sheer::

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: Tractor beam and polaron beam engaged.  The polaron beam is absorbing some of the shock, but it's still a lot, Sir.

CNS_Alana says:
::Shakes her head and regroups as she enters a turbolift and requests to go to the Bridge::

Host AGM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The tractor beam locks onto the small vessel.

SO_Taliza says:
::Makes a brief prayer to the Prophets to guide them out of this fool's errand::

TO_Corjet says:
::She holds her head a moment then walks over to her post outside the shuttlebay::

MO_Sovok says:
::Arrives outside the shuttlebay and waits::

FCO_Stricker says:
::Taps console::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
FCO: Full reverse thrusters, Mr. Stricker!

CTO_Marek says:
CIV: You got it!  Keep it at its actual frequency!

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Continues to monitor the anomaly for any signs of hazardous change::

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO: Mr. Marek, I may need some of that power back!  Can you do with a cut of 5% in the shields?

FCO_Stricker says:
CO: Aye, Sir! ::Engages thrusters::

Host AGM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Structural integrity and inertial dampening fields are down to 50%, shields down to 40%

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Permission to reroute phaser power to reinforce our shields.  It's our only chance to keep them up!

SO_Taliza says:
::Tries again to get a fix on what's inside that vessel::

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: Sir!  Structural integrity field and inertial dampening fields are down to 50% and falling!

Mitchell says:
CTO: Granted.

CNS_Alana says:
::Leaves the Bridge and turbolift doors open, looks around wondering where she should station herself::

CSO_Pavielion says:
SO: Reroute reserve sensor power to the structural integrity field and inertial dampening field systems.

SO_Taliza says:
CSO: Aye, Sir.  ::Reroutes power as ordered::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*Engineering* Bridge to engineering.  Chad, we need more power to the structural integrity field, inertial dampening field and shields!

CTO_Marek says:
CO/CIV: Rerouting phaser power to shields. Ten percent up and increasing…. 25 % 

CIV_Danforth says:
::Opens a shipwide COM: *All on board* Attention all hands, please evacuate to emergency stations only.  I repeat, please report to emergency stations.  Power will be rerouted from non-essential areas in 2 minutes!

FCO_Stricker says:
::Monitoring speed and thruster engines::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*EO_Chad* ::Tapping furiously at the console shouting orders to the other engineers::  *Bridge* I can't give you any more, Sir!

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: I think I can wean a bit more out of her, Captain. ::Begins to reroute power through Jeffries tube 24, 48, and 139::

Host AGM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The Erie begins to back out of the anomaly.  The hull is under a tremendous amount of stress.

SO_Taliza says:
::Hangs on for dear life::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Notices areas of his screen go blank as they lose more systems to damage::

CIV_Danforth says:
::Uses obscure power configuration learned at Starfleet Academy::  CO: Sir!  It's working!

FCO_Stricker says:
::Holds onto his console::

MO_Sovok says:
::Looks at his medical team then runs to the nearest window, nearly falling over, looking out to space::

CTO_Marek says:
CO: It's working, shields holding at 65%, Sir.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
FCO: Hold her steady, Lieutenant!

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: We're going to need to do some repairs, but it's working!

CNS_Alana says:
::Remembers, she is supposed to be outside the shuttlebay and quickly leaves the Bridge::

FCO_Stricker says:
CO: Yes, Sir!  I'm trying really hard!  ::Holding the ship together::

CIV_Danforth says:
::Rerouting power to systems as non-essential areas begin winking out::

CTO_Marek says:
CIV: So far, you have done a great job, Danforth!

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Dispatches teams to begin repairs on the sensor grid::  CO: We are approaching the limits of the anomaly, Sir.

Host AGM_Darlene says:
ACTION: As the Erie and the small alien vessel back out of the anomaly the stresses begin to subside.

MO_Sovok says:
::Walks back over to the Shuttle bay doors and stands still::

FCO_Stricker says:
CO: Structural integrity is stabilizing, Sir.

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: Structural integrity field and inertial dampening field back up to 70% Sir and climbing.

CIV_Danforth says:
::Begins to reroute power to all systems::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
FCO: Full power to the thrusters!

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Gets odd readings, scans again::  CO: Sir!  The anomaly, it is collapsing!

FCO_Stricker says:
::Put full power to thruster:: CO: Yes, Sir, power is up!

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Double checks to make sure sensors were not malfunctioning::

Host AGM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The Erie pulls out of the anomaly just as it collapses.

FCO_Stricker says:
::Steady's the ship::

TO_Corjet says:
::Still holds onto the bulkhead:: *CTO* Sir, what's happened?

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Sighs:: CO: We have passed the outer boundaries of the anomaly, Sir,  ::Scans:: and it has completely collapsed.

CIV_Danforth says:
::Scanning for structural damage to the Erie::

Host AGM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The force of the collapsing anomaly forces the Erie and the vessel (still locked in the tractor beam) backwards.

CTO_Marek says:
*TO* Be ready, Lieutenant.  Deploy your men forming a defensive perimeter around the shuttlebay.  Wait for further instructions.

SO_Taliza says:
::Reroutes some power back to the sensors to get a fix on what's inside that ship::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CIV: Tractor the vessel into the shuttle bay.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Commander, get down to the shuttlebay.

CSO_Pavielion says:
SO: As soon as possible, scan those inside the alien craft for any hazardous infections they may have, we do not want the crew to catch any viruses.

TO_Corjet says:
*CTO* Yes, Sir.  ::Motions to her security team and tells them to do just that::

SO_Taliza says:
CSO: I'm already on that, Sir.

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: Yes, Sir.  ::Continues to pull the vessel into the shuttlebay::

CNS_Alana says:
::Walking to the shuttlebay she starts to sense a little tension already there::

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Collects a science kit::  SO: You have main science.  ::Walks towards 
the turbolift::

CTO_Marek says:
*TO* Danforth is tractoring the vessel into the shuttlebay in a few seconds. Have your weapons set to stun.

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: Sir, the vessel is now in the shuttlebay.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Enters the turbolift::  Deck 10.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*MO/CNS/TO* The vessel is being tractored into the shuttlebay.  CSO has permission to enter.  You may enter when he deems it safe.

CIV_Danforth says:
::Reinforces the shuttlebay shields::

TO_Corjet says:
::Senses CNS Alana and walks over to her, calmly noticing how her team fills her spot::

TO_Corjet says:
*CTO/CO*Acknowledged.

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO: Satok, the vessel is in the shuttlebay.

SO_Taliza says:
::Moves over to main science and continues study of the ship::

CNS_Alana says:
::Reaching the shuttlebay, she stops and does not go in::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Waits momentarily as the turbolifts approaches deck ten, gets off when it stops and walks for the shuttlebay entrance::

CTO_Marek says:
CO/CIV: Raising level-7 security field around the vessel now.

MO_Sovok says:
::Waits for the CSO's Okay::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Arrives at the shuttlebay, notices the officers standing outside the doors::

CNS_Alana says:
::Suddenly remembers to check her side arm, which she should have done a long time ago::

CTO_Marek says:
CO/CIV: We must hurry. Sir.  I detect a faint life sign aboard the ship.

TO_Corjet says:
::Quickly walks to the CNS's side and brings her to the side for a moment:: ~~~CNS: they are tractoring the alien ship in here. I'm guessing your here to be diplomatic~~~

FCO_Stricker says:
::Maintains ship speed::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Takes out his tricorder::  All: Stay here until I give the okay.  ::Taps COM badge::  *Bridge* Is the shuttlebay sealed?

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO: Level-7 field erected around the vessel.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: We are moving as fast as protocol will allow.

SO_Taliza says:
::Awaits computer's analysis on the ship::

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: Sir, the shuttlebay is now safe for the security team to enter.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*CSO* Affirmative.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Puts in his authorization and enters the shuttle bay, immediately seals the doors behind him::

CNS_Alana says:
TO: That is probably why the Captain wanted me to be here, however It seems to me that there is an injured one on the ship and It might not be as necessary right now.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Activates his tricorder and begins to scan the oddly shaped vessel::

TO_Corjet says:
::Her concern is evident in her eyes::  CNS: Yes, I know that.

CTO_Marek says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: CIV: Thanks, Commander, I already know that.  ::Smiles::

MO_Sovok says:
::Looks at the TO and CNS talking, then glances back at the doors::

CSO_Pavielion says:
*CO* Sir, the shuttlebay is safe.  Scans are not picking up any biological hazards to the crew or any dangers to the ship.

CTO_Marek says:
*TO* I detect no weapon activity, however, keep an eye open, Lieutenant.

Host AGM_Darlene says:
ACTION: As the CSO scans the vessel he notices it is not a vessel but a large life pod.

SO_Taliza says:
::Get the analysis:: *CSO* Sir, the alien ship is free of contaminants.  It's safe to go in there.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*CSO* Very well.  The teams may enter the shuttlebay now.

CTO_Marek says:
CO: The ship doesn’t seem to be a threat to the Erie, Sir.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Acknowledged.

TO_Corjet says:
*CTO* Yes, Sir.  Do I have permission to go in now?  There is an injured person on board.  ::Really wants to run in and get them, but resists the urge::

CTO_Marek says:
*TO* Wait for the CSO’s authorization, Tasha.

MO_Sovok says:
*CO* Sir, When will my medical teams be admitted?

CSO_Pavielion says:
*CO* I am not able to pick up any type of warp engines or major starship systems. I believe this is in fact a life pod.  ::Walks over to the doors and opens them::  All: It is safe to enter

Host CO_Mitchell says: 
CTO: Your teams may enter the shuttlebay now.

CNS_Alana says:
::Listens to the TO::

CTO_Marek says:
*TO* Proceed with caution into the shuttlebay.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*MO* You may enter now.

TO_Corjet says:
::Hears CSO say she could go in, and swiftly leads the way in, her tricorder in one hand, and just incase, a phaser in the other::

MO_Sovok says:
::Walks into the shuttlebay and increases his stride, getting closer to the pod::

FCO_Stricker says:
::Maintains position::

CTO_Marek says:
*TO* Keep an open COM. 

Host AGM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The life pod is made from an unknown material.  There does not seem to be any way of opening it.

CNS_Alana says:
::Turns and enters the shuttle bay::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Continues to scan, reads the results::  *CO* There does appear to be one life sign, though I can not find a way to open the pod and the pod is constructed of some foreign material, unknown to scanners.  I am not sure if it is safe to transport through.

TO_Corjet says:
*CTO* Yes, Sir.

MO_Sovok says:
::Pulls out his medical tricorder and begins to scan for lifeforms::

SO_Taliza says:
::Monitors the alien craft::

CIV_Danforth says:
::Passively scans the shuttlebay and continues to monitor the progress of the security team::

CSO_Pavielion says:
TO: Lieutenant, have your teams visually survey the craft and look for a way inside.

TO_Corjet says:
::Reaches out and touches the material::

CNS_Alana says:
::Looks at what appears to be a pod,  walks around it slowly::

TO_Corjet says:
CSO: Yes, Sir.

Host AGM_Darlene says:
ACTION: There are three tiny blinking lights on one end of the pod, barely noticeable.

TO_Corjet says:
::Nods to her team and they split up circling it::

MO_Sovok says:
::Walks around the pod, noticing the lights but ignoring them::

TO_Corjet says:
<Security team> TO: Ma'am, there's something here.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Takes a hull scraping and seals it in a container, will send it to a lab for analysis::

TO_Corjet says:
Sec team guy one: What is it? ::Walks over to him::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
FCO: Resume course to sector 49665.

CNS_Alana says:
::Steps closer to the pod and reaches out to touch it::

CSO_Pavielion says:
All: If you find anything make sure to report it.  ::Continues to scan and walk around the hull::

MO_Sovok says:
::Walks over next to the TO, hearing someone talk about an entrance::

TO_Corjet says:
*CTO* I agree Sir, but how do we get it to open?

FCO_Stricker says:
::Nods at the CO:: CO: Setting course, Sir!  Standing by to engage.

CTO_Marek says:
CIV: What do you think?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
FCO: Engage, Lieutenant.

TO_Corjet says:
CSO: Sir, over here.

FCO_Stricker says:
CO: Aye, Sir! ::Engages::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Passes by the front, stops and walks back, leans in closer to the pod and notices what he thinks are lights::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
SO: Scan the area for any further signs of the anomaly.

CNS_Alana says:
*TO* The outside of this pod is cool to the touch but it seems to be humming, or vibrating.

SO_Taliza says:
SO: Aye, Captain.  ::Begins scanning::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Takes readings from the lights::

CTO_Marek says:
*TO* Try looking for a manual opening system with your tricorder.

CIV_Danforth says:
::Begins returning the ship back to normal, routing repair teams to take care of minor structural damage::

TO_Corjet says:
::Scans the spot::

CNS_Alana says:
::Sees faint blinking lights, moves to them and taps on them::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CIV: Dispatch repair teams.

TO_Corjet says:
CNS: Yes, I can hear it too.

Host AGM_Darlene says:
ACTION: As the CNS taps on the lights, they beep.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Runs his hand across the lights and tries to feel anything of interest::

MO_Sovok says:
::Looks around the pod and watches the CNS::

TO_Corjet says:
CSN: Maybe there is a specific sequence you need to tap the lights?

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Hears the beep, moves over to investigate::

CNS_Alana says:
::Is startled at the beeping coming from the lights::

SO_Taliza says:
CO: No further signs of that anomaly, Ma'am... yet.

CSO_Pavielion says:
CNS: Nice work, Ensign.  ::Taps on a few other lights and notices the results::

CTO_Marek says:
::Scans the ship again::

CTO_Marek says:
*TO* Report, Tasha.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
SO: Acknowledged, Mr. Taliza however I prefer "Sir".

CNS_Alana says:
*TO* Well there are many combinations but may be I will get it right, so let's see.

FCO_Stricker says:
::Maintains course::

CTO_Marek says:
::Wishes to be in the shuttlebay::

CNS_Alana says:
::Begins taping in different sequences of the blinking lights::

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: Aye, Sir, I've already sent Ensign Neyland's team and Lt. Fignewton's teams to begin in the weakest areas.

CSO_Pavielion says:
*CO* We have found some sort of lights on the front of the pod, when touched they beep and activate, we are investigating if this is a way to gain access to the vessel.

SO_Taliza says:
::Taken aback by the Captain's insistence on a masculine address::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Anything on the long-range sensors?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*CSO* Acknowledged, keep me informed and be careful.

TO_Corjet says:
*CTO* Sir, it appears to be some sort of combination lock.  We're working on getting it open.  ::Really wishes it would be faster as she can feel the pain the life form is in::

CSO_Pavielion says:
*CO* Acknowledged, Sir.

CTO_Marek says:
CO: No, Sir, our route is clear.  I recommend we switch to yellow alert mode, Sir.

CSO_Pavielion says:
TO: Please move everyone back, if something swings open I do not want anyone injured.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Very well, yellow alert, Commander.

CTO_Marek says:
*TO* Be extremely careful, Lieutenant.

MO_Sovok says:
::Wishes he could be of help and checks his tricorder to make sure the alien is still alive::

CSO_Pavielion says:
MO: Prepare your equipment if medical aid is needed.

SO_Taliza says:
::Keeps scanners peeled for anything out there that is strange and resumes monitoring activity in shuttlebay::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Continues to experiment tapping on the lights and the result each time, tries to figure out a pattern::

TO_Corjet says:
::Backs up with her team:: *CTO* Duly noted, Sir.

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Aye, Sir. Phaser power is totally restored, shields at 97%. 

Host AGM_Darlene says:
ACTION: As the CNS taps the lights another light glows green.

FCO_Stricker says:
::Maintain the ship and the speed of the ship to the sector 49665::

MO_Sovok says:
::Nods at the CSO::

TO_Corjet says:
MO: Be ready, there's someone hurt in there, I can sense it.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Acknowledged.

CNS_Alana says:
::Noticed a fourth light come on::

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: We've regained full power to structural integrity field and inertial dampening field, Sir.

MO_Sovok says:
::Looks at Tasha:: TO: Understood.

CNS_Alana says:
::Nods to CSO, to look at the fourth light::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CIV: Excellent, Commander.  Monitor the COM channels.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Notices the green light::  CNS: Please continue activating the indicated lights ::Looks back at the TO, repeats::  TO: Please move everyone back, Lieutenant, I do not want anyone injured if any doors swing open.

CTO_Marek says:
CO/FCO: A minor energy fluctuation on our route, 2345kms ahead. 

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Begins actively monitoring the COM channels and takes them off of auto scan::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Acknowledged.

CNS_Alana says:
CSO: It seems that as we tap on the lights, if we get the right sequence another light will appear and we will have to include it in the sequence also, I wonder how many there are left?

FCO_Stricker says:
CTO: Thank you, Sir!  I see it on the nav sensors.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
FCO: Alter course to avoid the energy fluctuation.

CTO_Marek says:
*TO* Any progress, Tasha?

Host AGM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Another light glows green.

CSO_Pavielion says:
CNS: Let's find out.  Please continue.  ::Watches the lights and scans the combination::

TO_Corjet says:
::She nods to the CSO and moves back again::*CTO* Sir, we seem to be getting some of the code right.

FCO_Stricker says:
CO: Yes, Sir! ::Alters course to avoid the fluctuation::

MO_Sovok says:
CNS: I think we just need one more of those green lights.

CNS_Alana says:
CSO: Okay, get this down, yet another light has appeared, so we must be headed in the right direction.

TO_Corjet says:
::Starts to feel agitated, wanting to enter and reach the life form she can sense slipping::

CSO_Pavielion says:
*SO* Please dispatch a science team to the shuttlebay.  I want a complete analysis of the shuttle and what it is composed of.

MO_Sovok says:
::Grins at the CNS:: CNS: Or closer to a self-destruct.

SO_Taliza says:
CO: Captain, it seems Commander Pavielion and company are getting close to accessing the craft.  Activity there is starting to increase.

Host AGM_Darlene says:
ACTION: A third light glows green and this time a loud beep is heard and a hissing sound like a vacuum being opened.

SO_Taliza says:
*CSO* I'll gather them and head down.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
SO: Acknowledged.

CNS_Alana says:
::Tapping lights::

CSO_Pavielion says:
CNS: Please back away.  ::Backs off::

SO_Taliza says:
CO: Permission to depart the Bridge?

MO_Sovok says:
::Backs away from the craft::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
SO: Granted, Lieutenant.

CNS_Alana says:

CTO_Marek says:
*TO* I detect a change in the vessel internal pressure. 

SO_Taliza says:
CO: Thank you, uh, Sir.  *Sci team 1* Meet me at the shuttlebay.

CSO_Pavielion says:
TO: Stand ready please, Lieutenant.   ::Moves over by the security team::

Host AGM_Darlene says:
ACTION: A small crack appears all around the pod and a mist begins leaking out of the crack.

SO_Taliza says:
::Enters turbolift after relief SO takes the station:: Computer: Shuttlebay.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Watches as the hissing continues, notices a small opening form around the pod::

MO_Sovok says:
::Scans the mist hoping it's hydraulic steam::

TO_Corjet says:
::Thinks it best to wait until the mist stop leaking out before trying to enter::

SO_Taliza says:
::Turbolift stops near shuttlebay. Meets up with the science team::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Scans the mist coming out, hopes it is not harmful::

CNS_Alana says:
::Bending to look into the crack opening, but also backing away::

CTO_Marek says:
*ALL in Shuttle Bay* Stress is detected on the vessel hull. Proceed with caution.

SO_Taliza says:
*CSO* Commander, I'm outside the shuttlebay with science team 1.  Shall we enter?

CSO_Pavielion says:
All: It is okay, the mist is not dangerous.

CSO_Pavielion says:
*SO* Acknowledged, please do so, Lieutenant.

SO_Taliza says:
Science Team 1: Let's go.  ::Enters shuttlebay::

::Enters the shuttlebay and hears his tricorder go crazy::

MO_Sovok says:
::Looks down at his tricorder and wonders what’s going on with it.  Thinks maybe it's because it wasn't washed in two months and hits it.  Realizes it's not just his::

FCO_Stricker says:
::Maintains course::

SO_Taliza says:
::Opens tricorder and studies readings::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Notices his screen go through the normal scans, feels pulse quicken when it stops on chronotons, begins to scan the shuttlebay for chronoton readings::

Host AGM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The CSO's scans detect very low-level chronoton particles coming from within the pod.

CSO_Pavielion says:
*CO* Sir, a small opening has formed all over the ship and low levels of chronotons are being picked up inside the pod.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*CSO* Can you open the pod?

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Confirmed the CSO report, Sir. 

TO_Corjet says:
::Tugs a little harder at the crack::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Does not like their past chronoton experiences::  *CO* We are trying to do so, Sir.

CSO_Pavielion says:
All: Move forward and attempt to open the pod but be careful, there are chronoton levels present.

FCO_Stricker says:
::Steady's the ship::

MO_Sovok says:
::Looks at his medical team and then walks over to the pod::

SO_Taliza says:
::Approaches the pod, tricorder very active::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Moves into position and waits for everyone else to do so::  All: Is everyone ready to try to open it?  On the count of three!

Host AGM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The lid seems to be stuck.

CTO_Marek says:
*TO* Sorry to bother you again but how is everything going down there?

CNS_Alana says:
::Approaches the pod with caution, hand on phaser but reaching out to put hand inside crack::

SO_Taliza says:
::Tries to help the CSO budge the lid::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Waits for everyone to get into position::  All: One, two, three!  ::Tugs on the lid and tries to open it::

TO_Corjet says:
*CTO*Sir, we can't seem to open the door.  ::Tugs hard on the door::

MO_Sovok says:
::Pulls as hard as he can::

SO_Taliza says:
::Pulls on the lid::

TO_Corjet says:
<Sec team> ::Tugs as well::

Host AGM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Everyone tugs on the lid and it begins to give way.

CTO_Marek says:
FCO: We have a cleared route for the next 12000 km. 

TO_Corjet says:
::Feels it give and pulls even harder::

MO_Sovok says:
All: Keep goin!  ::Pulls hard::

SO_Taliza says:
CSO: It's moving!

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Tries to pull harder as he feels the lid begin to move::

CNS_Alana says:
::Tugging on the lid::

SO_Taliza says:
::Heave-hoes on the lid::

FCO_Stricker says:
CTO: Acknowledged, please send me the coordinates.

Host AGM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The lid suddenly gives way and the force sends all the crew flying backwards.

CTO_Marek says:
FCO: Done.

SO_Taliza says:
::Falls backwards onto the deck::

CSO_Pavielion says:
All: Try to….::Stops as he is sent hurling backwards::

MO_Sovok says:
::Does a backwards summersault and gets to his feet, looking around::

CNS_Alana says:
::Moves slightly as lid gives way, but steadies herself quickly::

FCO_Stricker says:
::Receives the coordinates:: CTO: Thank you, Sir!

TO_Corjet says:
::Falls back, but immediately stands up, feeling the life sign even stronger now. She rushes back towards the pod::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
ACTION: A heavy mists escapes and a hissing sound dissipates.

SO_Taliza says:
::Sees the MO's summersault:: MO: And the Klingon judge gives you an 8.9.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Rolls on the floor, stands up and checks himself for injuries::  All: is everyone all right?

TO_Corjet says:
*CTO* Sir, we got it.

FCO_Stricker says:
CO: I'm altering course by the path at the CTO has just given me, Sir!

MO_Sovok says:
::Nods at the SO and laughs::

Host AGM_Darlene says:
ACTION: As the crew approaches they begin to see who is inside the pod as the mist clears.

MO_Sovok says:
::Walks over to the pod::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
FCO: Acknowledged.

SO_Taliza says:
::Returns to the pod, rubbing his rump, and scans inside::

CTO_Marek says:
*TO* Acknowledged, Lieutenant.

FCO_Stricker says:
::Sets in the coordinates:: CO: Thank you, Sir!

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Moves over next to the pod as the mist clears, walks over to a panel and accesses the environmental systems, adjusts them to clear the mist::

CNS_Alana says:
::Peering through the dense fog, straining to see the individual there::

TO_Corjet says:
::Walks into the pod as she sees someone in there and recognizes him as Am’Tath::

MO_Sovok says:
::Pulls out his tricorder and opens his med kit, ready with a hypospray::

Host AGM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The crew recognizes the alien being inside the pod, it is Am'Tath.  He is in an unconscious state.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Walks back over to the alien craft::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Stares for a moment, then notices the alien::

TO_Corjet says:
MO: Come here and see what's wrong with him.

MO_Sovok says:
::Looks at the being and is dumbstruck for a moment then walks over to the TO, scanning::

CSO_Pavielion says:
MO: Please.  ::Points at the alien::

CTO_Marek says:
*TO* Report!  What's the alien’s condition?

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Scans the alien for hazards to the crew::

MO_Sovok says:
TO: He seems to be unconscious, some sort of a coma.

FCO_Stricker says:
::Pilots the ship through the new coordinates::

TO_Corjet says:
::Checks for a pulse::  *CTO* Sir, the alien is Am'Tath.  He's unconscious.

CSO_Pavielion says:
*CO* We have gotten inside the pod and have located the alien, it is alive but unconscious.

TO_Corjet says:
MO: Why is he unconscious?

SO_Taliza says:
TO: Am'Tath?  You know this alien?

CTO_Marek says:
*TO* Am'Tath?! 

MO_Sovok says:
TO: Unknown.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*CSO* Can he be moved to Sickbay?

CNS_Alana says:
::Thinks: Maybe this was to be a diplomatic mission?::

MO_Sovok says:
::Nods at the CSO as he hears the Captain’s comment::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Hears the CTO::  CTO: Am'Tath???  ::Stands::

CSO_Pavielion says:
*CO* Yes, Sir.  ::Turns to MO::  MO: Please beam him to Sickbay.

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Sir, we proceed there now?

MO_Sovok says:
::Taps his COM badge:: Transporter room one, two to beam directly to Sickbay.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Proceed where, Commander?

CNS_Alana says:
::Senses something strange about this person::

SO_Taliza says:
All: Who is this alien?

Host AGM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The MO and Am'Tath are beamed to Sickbay.

CTO_Marek says:
CO: I mean to the shuttlebay to see Am'Tath.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Hears the TO and SO::  TO: Who is this alien?  You know him?

TO_Corjet says:
SO: He is Am'Tath.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: They are beaming him to Sickbay, Commander.  You may proceed there.

CSO_Pavielion says:
*CO* Sir, the alien has beamed to Sickbay with the MO, I believe Lieutenant Corjet called him Am’Tath?

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Thank you, Sir!!!!! ::Nods to a relief officer and rushes to the turbolift:: 

CNS_Alana says:
::Turns to look at the pod, looking inside for any further information or belongings::

MO_Sovok says:
::Looks over at Am'Tath on the biobed and sets his med kit down, wheeling over the instrument tray and tries to determine why Am'Tath is unconscious.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*CSO* Acknowledged.  Continue with your analysis of the vessel.

CTO_Marek says:
::Directs turbolift to Sickbay::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Opens his science kit, extracts the hull sample::  SO: Please run this hull scraping to the lab and run a full analysis of it.

CTO_Marek says:
Self: Okay, this Am’Tath appearance certainly means big surprises for us.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*MO* Bridge to Sickbay.

SO_Taliza says:
::Takes the sample:: CSO: Aye, Sir.  ::Exits shuttlebay and heads for the science lab::

MO_Sovok says:
*CO* Sickbay, here.

CTO_Marek says:
::The turbolift doors open and Marek exits::

TO_Corjet says:
::Walks back to the pod to inspect it::

FCO_Stricker says:
::Maintains course::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*MO* What is Am'Tath's condition?

CSO_Pavielion says:
TO: Please have security posted outside the shuttle bay and only allow authorized personnel to enter.

TO_Corjet says:
CSO: Yes, Sir.

CTO_Marek says:
*TO* I'm on my way to Sickbay to see Am'Tath. Good work, Lieutenant.

MO_Sovok says:
*CO* Unconscious.  I don't know why yet.  I'm trying to figure that out as we speak.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*MO* Very well, keep me informed.

TO_Corjet says:
Security Team: I want you to surround the pod, you heard the CSO.

MO_Sovok says:
*CO* Aye, Sir, Sovok, out.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Motions for the science teams to begin analysis of the vessel::

SO_Taliza says:
::Enters science lab and begins analysis on the sample::

TO_Corjet says:
*CTO* Sir, it was he who deserves credit for staying alive.  I sense it was a difficult thing for him to do.

Host AGM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The MO's scans reveal Am'Tath to be in a trance-like state, his general health is fine; he just can't wake up.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Climbs inside the craft and examines its contents::

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: So, Captain, what do you make of this Am'Tath thing?

CTO_Marek says:
*CSO* Sir, I think your teams should try to find the way to download the vessel log to our computer. 

MO_Sovok says:
::Taps his COM badge:: *CO* Sovok to Mitchell.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CIV: I am pleased we have found him again and he is alive.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*MO* Mitchell, here.

CSO_Pavielion says:
*CTO* We are examining the craft now Commander, once we determine how it functions we will gather as much information as possible from its main computer, if it even has one.

CTO_Marek says:
::Entering Sickbay, Marek sees Am'Tath lying down on a biobed surrounded by an army of medical staff::

CNS_Alana says:
::Continues to look over the vessel for any  information or belongings::

MO_Sovok says:
*CO* Am'Tath seems to be in some sort of trance.  He is perfectly all right he just seems to not be able to wake up.

CTO_Marek says:
*CSO* Understood, Sir. Marek out.

SO_Taliza says:
::Runs multiple scans on the sample::

CTO_Marek says:
MO: What's his condition, Ensign?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*MO* Place him in a stasis chamber and monitor his condition around the clock.

MO_Sovok says:
CTO: As of now, unconscious.

CNS_Alana says:
CSO: I've looked and it does not seem that there are any compartments to store equipment in this pod.  What have you found?

CTO_Marek says:
MO: Thanks, Ensign. ::Stares at the good old friend, Am'Tath::

MO_Sovok says:
*CO* Aye, Sir. ::Motions for the Doctors around him to leave and makes the necessary arrangements to monitor Am'Tath.

FCO_Stricker says:
::Maintains position heading for Sector 49665::

MO_Sovok says:
CTO: Do you know him?

CTO_Marek says:
::Makes room for the doctors to work:: MO: I do.  It's a long, long story.

SO_Taliza says:
::Looks through the microscope to see what he can find on that sample::

CSO_Pavielion says:
CNS: The exact same, nothing.  ::Taps COM badge::  *CO* Sir, we are examining the pod and can not find anything inside, no equipment, panels, computer, controls.  It seems to be completely empty.

TO_Corjet says:
::She looked confused around the pod.  There was something they were missing, she just didn't know what it was::

MO_Sovok says:
CTO: Ah…well, I can assure you he is okay, just unconscious.
