~~~~OPS: Welcome back. ~~~~

FCO_Rofax says:
CO: Aye Captain  ::activates the main view screen::

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION: From the view screen, the crew can see the remnants of what had once been a floating hub of spheres in space.  The colony has been dismantled.  All that remains is the ghostly skeleton of what had been an awe-inspiring structure.

MO_Torek says:
::puts Medical teams on standby::

Host Karriaunna says:
Minor gravimetric distortions litter the area, suggesting they used their gravimetric devices recently, but there is no sign of where they might have gone.

TO_McCloud says:
::starts running the scans::

aXO_Kyrron says:
CO:  Perhaps we should send over a team, Sir?

::monitors comm signals::

SO_Homer says:
CO: The area seems to have been littered with Gravimetric distortions.  Which suggests gravimetric devices were used.  No Warp Trail detected.

Host COKatia_Zax says:
SO: Any sign of phaser fire?

SO_Homer says:
CO: No Signs

Host COKatia_Zax says:
AXO: Good idea. Assemble your team.

MO_Torek says:
@::checks the atmosphere in the colony::

EO_Pettigrove says:
CO:  It would also explain the lack of energy readings.

Host COKatia_Zax says:
OPS: Extend your range to another parsec.

TAC_Scully says:
CO: Nothing, Captain.

aXO_Kyrron says:

aXO_Kyrron says:
CO:  Perhaps I should get him a leash?

Host COKatia_Zax says:
TAC: Understood. Are we safe enough?

Host COKatia_Zax says:
AXO: I believe that may be necessary, Number One.

TAC_Scully says:

CO:  That would be in order, I suppose.  ::sighs again::

Host COKatia_Zax says:
SO: Source of radiation?

TO_McCloud says:
::walks into the stars..::

EO_Pettigrove says:
::looks at the scans with the CEO:: CEO:  have you seen anything like that before, Sir?

aXO_Kyrron says:
::rethinks the whole idea of leaving McCloud in charge of tactical while she is in this temporary assignment::

Host Karriaunna says:
As they enter the area, debris is scattered about.  The station has been ransacked and destroyed along with all the vessels that had been docked at the time.  This unknown species recently discovered by the Scorpius was numbered in the 800,000.  Nothing living remains.

Host COKatia_Zax says:
AXO: ::voice gentles:: That would be a suggestion, Number One. He has done this once too often. The next time he'll get himself killed. You can keep it unofficial this time, Tria, but the next time, he will be demoted.

CEO_M`Tor says:
:: frowns :: EO: I have not...

EO_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  No, neither have I ...

Host COKatia_Zax says:
OPS: On screen.

OPS_Smith says:

aXO_Kyrron says:
Thinks to self:  Not again.

FCO_Rofax says:
::turns to face the others, slight expression of horror on his face::

MO_Torek says:

CEO_M`Tor says:

TAC_Scully says:
CO: We can't pick up weapons signatures. Very puzzling.

Host COKatia_Zax says:
SO: Life signs?

CEO_M`Tor says:
:: frowns :: EO: Scan the database for anything similar. I shall do the same.

FCO_Rofax says:
~~~ ::clutches the Pendant hard within his hand and tries to pick up on anything out of the ordinary:: ~~~

<<<<<<<<<<End>>>>>>>>>>

During the course of various missions throughout the fleet, the ship[s] in question will be momentarily rocked by extreme gravimetric distortions, practically all systems will begin to power down as if drained [see U.S.S. Griffon Stardate 9802.02 for example], and then the rocking will end, and power will return as if nothing happened.

This is in coordination with the mission arc "The Empty Home" which will be played out by the Pendragon this month.
