OPS_Anderson says:
CO: A channel is open, but there is no response.
CEO_Naug says:

FCO:define trouble ensign
CSO_Toorain says:
@XO:Sir, shall the CEO and I go to engineering to check the engines?
CNS_Reb says:
CO: I have'nt sensed anything new.
XO_Cerdan says:
@::Keeps scanning for life signs::
FCO_Exeter says:
CO:plasma relay has failed,sir,near the naccele
CTO_Black says:
@XO: Should we examen the rest of the ship, Sir?
XO_Cerdan says:
@CSO: Yes but stay together
CSO_Toorain says:
@Computer:Computer, this is the...captain.  Damage report.
TO_Knight says:
CO: All other scans normal at this time sir
XO_Cerdan says:
@CTO: You're with me
CEO_Naug says:
@XO:shall i go to engineering to check the status of engines
FCO_Exeter says:
CO:i'll go check it,with the TO,sir
Host COBishop says:
::taps a few controls and has a damage control team get to the plasma relay

 THE USUAL COMPUTER VOICE RESPONDS TO THE CSO.....

CTO_Black says:
@XO: Aye Sir
CSO_Toorain says:
@::listens for the computer::
Host Computer says:
@ Warp Core is offline - Life Support is at minimal.
CTO_Black says:
@::walks to XO::
XO_Cerdan says:
@CSO: What have you found LtCmdr.?
TO_Knight says:
::Scans shields:: CO: Shields still holding sir
FCO_Exeter says:
CO:may i go check it sir?
CSO_Toorain says:
@::smiles::XO:Most systems appear operational.  Warp is down, and life support at minimal.  All others okay.
Host COBishop says:
*CEO*:Scan for damage of the port side plasma relay
Host COBishop says:
*CEO*:on the nighthawk down there i mean
TO_Knight says:
::Continues to scan storm on surface of planet::
XO_Cerdan says:
@CSO: OK ,get what you can and upload to the other Nighthawk
CEO_Naug says:
@::scanning plasma relay::
CTO_Black says:
@::scans for life forms::
CSO_Toorain says:
@XO:With most systems online, perhaps we should engage inpulse...lift off?

THE ION STORM MOVES IN OVER THE GROUNDED NIGHTHAWK......RENDERING THE UPLINK INCOMPLETE

FCO_Exeter says:
::walks back to his console::
TO_Knight says:
::appears to be stronger on the surface than scanned at first::
Host COBishop says:
*XO*:Report

 THE CTO'S SCANS ARE NEGATIVE

CNS_Reb says:
::consentrates harder:: CO: I sense fear coming from the planet.
XO_Cerdan says:
@*CO*: Captain,Seems to really be the Nighthawk
CTO_Black says:
@XO: We shouls first examen the whole ship, we don't know if the ship is in tact..
CSO_Toorain says:
@XO:The computer is recognising my authority as the captain...from our point of view, captain to be...I believe we can trust the ship.
XO_Cerdan says:
@CO*: From another timeline
Host COBishop says:
SO:run another scan tell me the intensity of that storm down there
SO_Solstis says:
CO: Yes, sir.
CEO_Naug says:
@XO::i have the repair log from 20 years in the future.
XO_Cerdan says:
@CEO: Is she space worthy?
CTO_Black says:
@XO: Maybe  engineering is a good place to start....
XO_Cerdan says:
@:: Feels ship rock slightly::
CSO_Toorain says:
@XO:I'm not convined here is a good place to be in an ion storm.
TO_Knight says:
CO: Picking up unusual ionic patterns from the clouds sir
SO_Solstis says:
CO: There are some strange ionic patterns coming from the clouds.
CEO_Naug says:
@XO::we need to check engines first
OPS_Anderson says:
::wonders if it really could be the Nighthawk in 20 years::
TO_Knight says:
SO: Tactical scanners confirm that
CSO_Toorain says:
@XO:I agree.  If we all proceed to Engineering, and bring systems online, we can leave the planet...rendeavous in orbit.
Host COBishop says:
SO:are they natural?
CNS_Reb says:
CO: I sense fear coming from the planet. The AT may be in trouble.
CEO_Naug says:
@XO::it is space worthy but we need to go to engineering
Host COBishop says:
CNS:noted
XO_Cerdan says:
@CTO: I agree, Ens. Naug and LtCmdr Toorain Check it out
XO_Cerdan says:
@:: Taps a few controls on console::
CEO_Naug says:
@::heads to lift::
CSO_Toorain says:
@::nods::XO:Aye.
CTO_Black says:
@::walks to the tactical station again::
FCO_Exeter says:
CO:my suggestion is to blow the thing up,sir,it's the future,and i think we aren't ready for the future,sir
CSO_Toorain says:
@::follows CEO::
XO_Cerdan says:
@CTO: Can we access ships logs?
CSO_Toorain says:
@::enters TL::
CNS_Reb says:
CO: Permission to go to sickbay and try to analyize the species I detected?
CTO_Black says:
@XO: I'm trying Sir

AS THE CTO LOOKS UP, HE NOTICES A SHADOW SLIDE DOWN FROM THE WALL, STAND AND APPROACH THE XO....

XO_Cerdan says:
@*CO*: What is storms position?
CTO_Black says:
@XO: Behind you!!
CEO_Naug says:
@COMPUTER:Main Engineering
CSO_Toorain says:
@TL:Engineering.

THE SHADOW APPEARS TO BE FULL OF STARS...

CTO_Black says:
::drwas phaser::
Host COBishop says:
CNS:go ahead
XO_Cerdan says:
@::Turns quickly::
Host COBishop says:
SO:route the position of the strom down to the awayteam
XO_Cerdan says:
@::Aims phaser and.....:::
CTO_Black says:
@::points phaser::
CNS_Reb says:
::exits bridge::

AS THE XO TURNS AND RAISES HIS PHASER, THE SHADOW EMBRACES HIM.....AND THE XO DISAPPEARS...HIS PHASER FALLING TO THE DECK

CSO_Toorain says:
@::hears commotion::
CSO_Toorain says:
@*CTO*Report.
CTO_Black says:
@::looks for XO::
