Host Quchant says:
<Alien> COM: Orion: Doorways to cloud....many distance....lost are we......help you shall?

CEO_Lt_Rogers says:
*CO* I'm not sure as AEO_Doyle is unconious I'll get right on it

CO_Jorgaenson says:
CSO: Take all the data already scanned and start analyzing what we DO know with the ASO please

 CTO_Stelakh says:
::continues analyzing sensor data::

CO_Jorgaenson says:
COMM: Alien: Yes of course, help we will give, just tell us what you need

CEO Rogers:  Yes, sir.  ::goes to Doyle::  Lieutenant?  Lieutenant, can you hear me?

CMO_Richmond says:
:: scans Doyle::

ATO_Langston says:
::starts further analysis of alien's stored tractor beam data::

CO_Jorgaenson says:
COMM: Alien: We thank you for stopping your beam, hurting us it was.... er I mean it was hurting us.

CO_Jorgaenson says:
::thinks this language is way too catchy::

ASO_L`shan says:
CSO: All right. I need to analyze the data on the substructure of the nebula before the Tractor hit.

CSO_Lance says:
ASO L'shan: Ask the CTO for his data as well. I still have what OPS scanned.

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: the AEO comes round....with a nasty bruise on his noggin...matching the CO's

AEO_Doyle says:
::Picks himself up and groggily goes back to his console::

CTO_Stelakh says:
CO:  Power equivalent to a Nebula Class starship.  Their tractor beam is highly powered, and augmented by a dampening field.

CEO_Lt_Rogers says:
:: continues repairs to the effected systems ::

ATO_Langston says:
::looks at AEO, relieved::

CMO_Richmond says:
AEO Doyle:  How do you feel, Lieutenant?

Host Quchant says:
<Alien> COM: Orion: Here not normal....you not same....interogative?

AEO_Doyle says:
CMO Richmond: A little dizzy.

ASO_L`shan says:
CO: Their ship is equivalent in power to an Nebula class.....the tractor is highly powered with a dampening field on it

   CMO_Richmond says:
AEO Doyle:  Well, you hit your head quite hard

CTO_Stelakh says:
::continues analyzing tactical data::

OPS_Wagner says:
::tries to keep the ship steady::

AEO_Doyle says:
::Starts a special algorithm he created to help with sustaining power::  CMO Richmond: I've had worse. ::smiles:: I'll be okay.

CSO_Lance says:
::goes over the data from OPS and her own scans::

CEO_Lt_Rogers says:
:: forwards his data on the tractor beam to tactical ::

CMO_Richmond says:
::quickly scans for more injury on Doyle, then heals the bump::

AEO_Doyle says:
CMO Richmond: Thanks.

CO_Jorgaenson says:
CTO: For now they seem friendly but be on your guard please.       I don't know that we can help them and I don't know what they would do if I tell them that

CTO_Stelakh says:
CO:  According to my scans, their weapons are equivalent to pulse cannon types we are familiar with.  If used, they will wear our shields down.

CSO_Lance says:
::calls up some data to crosscheck but can't find anything::

CMO_Richmond says:
AEO Doyle:  You're welcome.  Just hold better next time  ::smiles and heads for the turbolift::

ASO_L`shan says:
CO: There are some strange verteron particles being detected in the background

CTO_Stelakh says:
CO:  Shall I maintain Red Alert, Captain?

CO_Jorgaenson says:
COMM: Alien: We are authorized to help you in any way we can, what do you need?

CTO_Stelakh says:
CO:  Yellow Alert, aye.

CO_Jorgaenson says:
COMM: Alien: I do not understand.

CTO_Stelakh says:
::stands down to Yellow Alert::

  AEO_Doyle says:
::Shakes his head and makes sure his algorithm is running at full efficiency::

CTO_Stelakh says:
CO:  Captain, if I may?

CMO_Richmond says:
::enters the turbolift::  Bridge

AEO_Doyle says:
CEO Rogers: Sir, have I missed much? What's wrong?

CO_Jorgaenson says:
CTO: ::nods:: By all means, if you understand don't hesitate to speak up

ATO_Langston says:
::continues to examine data::

Host Quchant says:
<Alien> COM: Orion: location different....here not normal.....appearance not same....interrogative?

 CTO_Stelakh says:
CO:  I believe that they do not belong here at all.  If I am correct, they are from nowhere near our location.

ASO_L`shan says:
:: continues to analyze the data received ::

CO_Jorgaenson says:
::wishes her head would quit pounding to the rhythm of the yellow alert lights::

CTO_Stelakh says:
CO:  Perhaps they have starmaps, which would assist us in detecting their point of origin.

CMO_Richmond says:
::enters the bridge and walks to the ASO::

CSO_Lance says:
CO Jorgaenson: They seem to be from a different space. That would explain the lack of sensor data maybe.

 AEO_Doyle says:
::Sighs, then heads back to the console::

CMO_Richmond says:
ASO L'shan:  Ensign, have you managed to find out anything about these life forms?

CO_Jorgaenson says:
CSO: What information do we have from our previous scans about their normal space?

OPS_Wagner says:
::finds no reference to those speech patterns::

ASO_L`shan says:
CMO: I'm still working on it, I'm finding very little.

Host Quchant says:
<Alien> COM: Orion: Reputation.....location different....here not normal.....appearance not same....interrogative?

 CEO_Lt_Rogers says:
AEO: seriously though, The aliens have stopped there tractor beam and we are making minor repairs to the ships systems, Are you sure your ok?

AEO_Doyle says:
CEO Rogers: Yes, sir.

CO_Jorgaenson says:
COMM: Alien: Yes you are not in the right place, we are trying to figure out how to get you home.     Please stand by.

CMO_Richmond says:
ASO L'shan:  Thank you.  Let me know the moment you discover anything.  Would you like a hand?

ASO_L`shan says:
CMO: Yes. I just need a little help.

CO_Jorgaenson says:
::contemplates asking about something for her head, decides to ignore it a little longer::

CO_Jorgaenson says:
CSO/ASO: Isolate the cause of those verteron particles please

ASO_L`shan says:
CO: Yes sir.

CSO_Lance says:
CO Jorgaenson: There seem to be verteron particles around. I am just collecting data about it, sir.

CMO_Richmond says:
ASO L'shan:  Certainly.  I'll keep on the life forms while you work on those particles.

Host Quchant says:
<Alien> COMM: Orion: Gratitudes....welcome...inquisituve....where is location?

ATO_Langston says:
CTO:  Sir, aren't verteron particles used to allow ships to pass safely through the bajoran wormhole?

ASO_L`shan says:
CMO: Thank  you. :: working on isolating the cause of the verteron particles ::

CTO_Stelakh says:
ATO:  You are correct, Ensign.  Please relay your findings to the Captain at once.

ATO_Langston says:
CO:  Captain.  I believe this ship might have come through the bajoran wormhole

CO_Jorgaenson says:
COMM: Alien: You are in the space of a species called the Klingon.

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: Klingon space is A LONG WAY AWAY FROM THE BAJOR sector

AEO_Doyle says:
CEO Rogers: Sir, should we be worrying about that crack in the warp core?

CTO_Stelakh says:
COMPUTER:  Access all data on inter-wormhole travel and narrow parameters to include the word Verteron.

CMO_Richmond says:
::suddenly remembers that he isn't allowed to scan, so watches proceedings on the view screen::

CSO_Lance says:
CO Jorgaenson: Can we send a shuttle into the nebula for more information?

CEO_Lt_Rogers says:
CEO: What crack?

AEO_Doyle says:
CEO Rogers: Gotcha.

Host Quchant says:
<Alien> COMM: Orion: Gratitudes..welcome....Klingon look like this......interrogative?  :gestures towards the Orion crew::

OPS_Wagner says:
::programs general flight routines::

CO_Jorgaenson says:
All: Please remember, no scanning allowed, concentrate on the data we have now

CTO_Stelakh says:
::Waits for the computer to reply::

CO_Jorgaenson says:
COMM: Alien: No, they look similar but not the same

ATO_Langston says:
CO:  Or, since we are far from the Bajor sector...perhaps there is another wormhole close by.

CO_Jorgaenson says:
CSO: Please put a picture of a Klingon on the view screen for a bit

Host Quchant says:
<Computer> Accessing...::displays data for CTO::

CMO_Richmond says:
::turns back to the console to try and analyze the data the ship already has on the aliens::

CSO: Thank you Mr. Lance

Host Quchant says:
<Alien> COMM: Orion:  gateway travel closed......imperitive return......yourself help immediate?

CTO_Stelakh says:
::begins refining the data output to find the function of verteron particles in wormhole travel::

CO_Jorgaenson says:
COMM: Alien: We are working on the problem now

ATO_Langston says:
::turns back to console station and attempts to find reported data of known wormhole phenomena in this sector::

ASO_L`shan says:
:: working on isolating the cause of the verteron particles ::

CTO_Stelakh says:
CO:  Captain, perhaps they have star charts which will allow us to ascertain their point of origin.  It would assist in attempting to find wormhole phenomena.

CO_Jorgaenson says:
COMM: Alien: Do you have any information you can send us on what your space looks like?

Host Quchant says:
<Computer> CTO: Verteron particles generally allow vessel traveling at impulse to pass through wormholes unharmed...example of this would be the Wormhole in the bajoran sector known as the Celestial Temple

CTO_Stelakh says:
CO:  If we were to also transmit declassified star charts from our own database, it may be of assistance to them as well.

Host Quchant says:
<Alien> COMM: Orion: Pictures of twinklies present.....you desire?

CSO_Lance says:
::listens to the CTO and pulls up some star charts - just in case::

CO_Jorgaenson says:
COMM: Alien: We have these things called star charts that tell us where we are and where we are going, they look like this     ::signals to the CSO for a star chart::

 OPS_Wagner says:
::shakes head at CO and turns to helm::

CO_Jorgaenson says:
CTO: Thank you Mr. Stelakh for the suggestion

CSO_Lance says:
::transfers the star chart of their recent coordinates on the view screen::

AEO_Doyle says:
::Ends his algorithm and begins a diagnostic for success rate::

CTO_Stelakh says:
COMPUTER:  Identify entries of starship wormhole travel and exclude the wormhole in the Bajor system.

Host Quchant says:
<Alien> COMM: Orion: Twinklies they are.....also we have do.....you desire viewing?

CO_Jorgaenson says:
COMM: Alien: Yes please, we would like to see you're... twinklies

Host Quchant says:
<alien> COMM: Orion: Transmitting twinkles...welcome

CSO_Lance says:
::waits for the foreign star charts to arrive::

CTO_Stelakh says:
::awaits the computer's response::

OPS_Wagner says:
::gets the burning wish to tell John about twinklies::

OPS_Wagner says:
CO: Ma'am, is our mission classified?

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: the star charts arrive and do not match anything that the Federation has on record even with the new data from the once thought lost Voyager's computer records

CTO_Stelakh says:
OPS:  Please transfer a copy of the charts to Tactical.

ASO_L`shan says:
:: noticing the star charts ::

CSO_Lance says:
CO Jorgaenson: This is not a known star system to the Federation, sir.

Host Quchant says:
<Alien> COMM: Orion: Excuse please...will return soon...::Comm gets cut::

OPS_Wagner says:
::transfers data as requested::

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: The CO goes to the RR leaving the CSO with the Conn

CTO_Stelakh says:
*Engineering*: Stelakh to Engineering.  Is there a power loss to the computer core?

CSO_Lance says:
::does some fiddling with the foreign star charts before taking over the conn::

CEO_Lt_Rogers says:
*CTO* A power loss?

CEO_Lt_Rogers says:
AEO: Check the core for a power loss

CSO_Lance says:
::sits down in the Big Chair [TM]::

CTO_Stelakh says:
*CEO*  There seems to be a distinct lag in computer response time, Lieutenant.

AEO_Doyle says:
CEO Rogers: Yes, sir. ::Begin a scan::

ATO_Langston says:
::calls up the alien's star chart and studies it::

CSO_Lance says:

AEO_Doyle says:
::Finishes scan:: CEO Rogers: I'm not picking up anything, sir.

CSO_Lance says:
OPS/CTO: Any results?

OPS_Wagner says:
::starts to write a draft of a letter to John::

CMO_Richmond says:
ASO L'shan:  What do you make of those star charts?

CEO_Lt_Rogers says:
*CTO* We are not picking anything up

CTO_Stelakh says:
*CEO*  Understood, Sir.  Stelakh out.

OPS_Wagner says:
CSO: Ma'am, results of what?

CSO_Lance says:
OPS Wagner: The *twinklies*.

  ASO_L`shan says:
CMO: the starcharts do not match anything on record.....

CTO_Stelakh says:
CSO:  The systems indicated on these charts do not match any known charts within our database, sir.

CMO_Richmond says:
ASO L'shan:  I haven't seen them, either.  I wonder where they're from......

ASO_L`shan says:
CMO: But, they are quite extraordinary.

Host Quchant says:

CMO_Richmond says:
ASO L'shan:  Yes, they are.

CSO_Lance says:
OPS/ASO/CTO/CMO: Any ideas then?

OPS_Wagner says:
CSO: Another signal., Ma'am.

CMO_Richmond says:
CSO Lance:  I would say this is a first contact, sir.

ASO_L`shan says:
ASO: I really have no idea right at the moment, sir.

CSO_Lance says:
OPS Wagner: Put it through.

CSO_Lance says:
CMO Richmond: Definitely looks like it.

CTO_Stelakh says:
CSO:  Perhaps they have an image of their own galaxy, Sir?

OPS_Wagner says:
::puts signal through::

CSO_Lance says:
CTO Stelakh: I will ask them.

CMO_Richmond says:
CSO Lance:  Well, I'm no Counselor, but I'll do what I can to help

Host Quchant says:
<Alien> COMM: Orion: Different...you are......you change appearance...inquisitive?

CSO_Lance says:
COMM: Alien: No, we don't change appearance. What makes you think that?

CO_Jorgaenson says:
::sitting in her RR with a really nasty headache::

CTO_Stelakh says:
CSO:  Their previous contact was with the Captain, sir.

ATO_Langston says:
::thinks there might be something to this message since they've repeated it about 3 times::

CMO_Richmond says:
CSO Lance:  I think it means that you're not the captain, any more

ATO_Langston says:

CSO_Lance says:
::blushes:: CMO Richmond: Oh, uhm, thank you, Dr.

Host Quchant says:
<Alien> COMM: Orion: Other was.....welcoming....appearance....pleasing
