U.S.S. Pendragon
10209.21

Host Scullder says:
The crew of the Pendragon has been temporarily assigned to the USS Alcott, a long-range science vessel to assist in a scientific mission.  The majority of the crew has remained behind to finish repairs to the Pendragon.

Host Scullder says:
The USS Einstein has been doing some work on the outer edges of the Alpha Quadrant near the neutral zone.  Initial readings from one of their deep space probes, sent to observe a dense patch of matter located in an expanding nebula, has discovered what appears to be a new wormhole leading to the Beta Quadrant.

Host Scullder says:
You are hereby ordered to that sector to do a more in-depth study and to investigate the alleged wormhole as well as chart its properties.

*EO*: Too high?

TO_Choi says:
CO: Appears to be a blown relay, Ma'am

XO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: Can't hurt to check.

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
MO: Isn't it amazing that no matter how different we all appear, we are basically the same inside?

SO_Toms says:
::engrossed in what he’s doing, only half an eye on what’s going on round him::

CNS_Luchena says:
::eyes the donut doubtfully::

MO_Gilthanas says:
CIV:  You appear to be in fine health.  But I am picking up something in your lungs.  I would like to see you run a more thorough check up later when you get back to the Pendragon.

Host CO_Zax says:
TO: Get engineering up to replace it.

FCO_DeRidder says:
XO_O`Dunn: We are clear and free to navigate Commander. Course and speed plotted and on the board.

MO_Gilthanas says:
CIV:  Yes, you all are.

*XO* I do not know yet.  *CEO* I need your help

SO_Toms says:
CO: Ion storm dead ahead ma'am. Distance, 15 light years

FCO_DeRidder says:
::continues to familiarize self with controls, and customizes the control panel::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CNS:  I wanted your advice.  Some of the junior officers are going to have to share quarters because of lack of space.  I wanted to make sure we didn't have any "conflicts" as it were.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::sits down::

Host CO_Zax says:
::looks concerned:: SO: Can we go around it?

FCO_DeRidder says:

OPS:  Who were you thinking of?

Host CO_Zax says:
FCO: Do it. ::remembers some weird things happening with ion storms and wormholes in the past::

CEO_Gagne says:
*EO*: I am on my way down.  XO: Got a list of relays I need to check, sir?

SO_Toms says:
::works on finding more data about the Ion storm:: CO: aye ma'am we can get round, but we will need to slow to warp 3

TO_Choi says:
::Shakes his head::  CPO Kerrek: Get down to Phaser control, help out Engineering.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CNS:  I'm not sure, really.  We have so many new officers on board.  I was wondering if you could go over the list and see if there is any reason why we can't pair certain officers.

MO_Gilthanas says:
::Helps him to the biotable to run a check on him as he just moans and shakes his head.::

XO_O`Dunn says:
CEO: Helm and phasers are all I've heard so far.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::hands the padd to him::

CSO_Hull says:
::notices a class 2 comet on the port side...previously unreported...enters the particulars in the sensor log for stellar cartography to make a note on position, direction of travel and speed, composition::

ACTION: Several more relays are detected to have failed.... one too many donuts falling from the replicator.

Host CO_Zax says:
::thinks that as usual SF gave them a real lemon::

TO_Choi says:
::Checks the alternate console::

CEO_Gagne says:
XO: Aye, I'll have my team on it right away.  ::Turns to the TL:: TL: ME

MO_Gilthanas says:
::Figuring out that the man had simple indigestion, she goes in search of an antacid in the cabinet.::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::sees the reports starting to come in:: CO: Gee, I'm glad we had a shakedown cruise, so that we wouldn't have problems NOW.

CNS_Luchena says:
OPS:  Unfortunately I'm not familiar enough with the crew to know of any reasons why they shouldn't be paired up.  ::hands the padd back::

CNS_Luchena says:
OPS:  Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::admiring the nice new smell of the ship as he walks::

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods wryly::

EO_ToddBooker says:
*CEO* I got power going out in SB 1 CB 2 and 3

FCO_DeRidder says:
CO_Zax: Helm remains steady. Revised ETA at present speed with course correction, 34 hours.

TO_Choi says:
<CPO_Kerrek>: Aye sir

XO_O`Dunn says:
::sighs:: CO: I recommend we go to sub light and a lower power mode until we can get a handle on the power grid.

SO_Toms says:
CO: Ma'am, I'm getting lots of interference, but the storm appears rather small ::continues checking::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::looks at him:: CNS:  No problem.  I'll just make up the list.

MO_Gilthanas says:
::Hands the PO some tablets and watches him swallow them.::

Host CO_Zax says:
FCO: Understood. As soon as we clear the storm, increase to warp five.

CSO_Hull says:
::watches his new SO as he compiles data on the storm, continues making notes on the Class 2 comet::

CNS_Luchena says:
OPS:  You could put me in with you.  ::smiles::

CEO_Gagne says:
::Taps his combadge:: *EO*: Can you take a team to Phaser control and check out the blown relay there.  I'll take a look at the other ones. ::Shakes his head as hears the other reports::

FCO_DeRidder says:
CO_Zax: Aye. ::keys in course resumption and new speed into system::

Host Scullder says:
ACTION: Several of the Alcott's Engineering Goons make there way around the ship to assist the CEO and EO.... things begin to return to normal.

FCO_DeRidder says:

XO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: How's the helm responding?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::laughs:: CNS:  Sure.  I'd better get back to the bridge.

Host CO_Zax says:
::looks around the bridge:: XO; We could use some help up here.......get the new CIV up here to lend a hand, please.

SO_Toms says:
::keeps monitoring the Ion storm, trying to phase out the interference to get a better picture::

TO_Choi says:
::Notices the new bridge officers::

Host Scullder says:
ACTION:  The Ion Storm has changed direction, but appears to be losing strength.  Energy readings are abnormally high considering the size, however.

FCO_DeRidder says:
::taps out a short diagnostic:: XO: Appears fine now Commander. I've taken a second to customize control actuation locations on the panel.

CNS_Luchena says:
OPS:  Nice talking to you.  Maybe we can do it again when you have more time.

CEO_Gagne says:
::Enters ME and starts pointing at the Alcott's "Goons" to check some readings on their panels::

CSO_Hull says:
SO:  Try using the dorsal or ventricle sensors to get a different look at the storm, sometimes makes all the difference than a head on sensor scan

OPS_Pettigrove says:
:: gets up, leaves the Galley and heads back to the bridge::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::nods, thinking the ensign looks reasonably efficient::

SO_Toms says:
 CO: Ma'am the Ion storm has changed course.

Host CO_Zax says:
XO: Has the power grid stabilized?

Host CO_Zax says:
::frowns:: SO: It changed course?

CSO_Hull says:
Himself: Changed course?  CO:  Captain, recommend, yellow alert

Host Scullder says:
ACTION: The Goons grunt and grudgingly agree to the CEO's request.

XO_O`Dunn says:
::looks at her console:: CO: Looks stable for the moment. ::frowns as she hears about the storm::

SO_Toms says:
CSO: Aye sir. :: switches to the dorsal sensors:: CO: Sorry ma'am, I meant to say direction.

TO_Choi says:
::Thinks "Way too quiet out here.."::

XO_O`Dunn says:
CO: Yellow alert?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::arrives back on the bridge and re-takes her station::

Host CO_Zax says:
XO: Yellow alert.

XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: If you would....

Host CO_Zax says:
FCO: Adjust course and speed.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Aye Sir.  ::initiates yellow alert::

CEO_Gagne says:
::Checks the reading and does a quick Diagnostic on the power systems::

::bumps into the counsellor as he passes::  CNS: Uh.  Pardon me.  ::smiles::

CNS_Luchena says:
*OPS*:   Yes Jordan?

TO_Choi says:
::Answers Yellow Alert, Activating shields::

Host CO_Zax says:
CSO: Since when do storms change direction so suddenly?

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks at the guy who bumped into him::  CIV:  Not a problem.  ::smiles back::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
*CNS*:  I have been asked to remind you that you have an appointment in Sickbay.  Also, is Cmdr Lynch with you?

CNS_Luchena says:
CIV:  You wouldn't be Commander Lynch by any chance?

CEO_Gagne says:
*EO*: Good. Let the power rise. ::Notices Yellow Alert.::  *EO*: Report back to ME.

SO_Toms says:
::adds ventral sensors to current scans, still trying to clear the interference:: Self: This doesn't look right.

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::smiles::  CNS: Why yes I am.  How did you know?

CNS_Luchena says:
::is telepathic::

XO_O`Dunn says:
SO: What doesn't look right?

CNS_Luchena says:
*OPS*:  Yes, he's standing right beside me.

EO_ToddBooker says:
*CEO* yes sir on my way :: start back to the TL:: TL: ME

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::doesn't know that::

SO_Toms says:
CO: Ma'am, this energy signature, from the storm... it doesn't look right. It looks artificial.

CSO_Hull says:
CO:  Captain, they do not, this maybe an entity, storms travel direction because of gravity wells and magnetic fields, I can note none that would make that drastic course correction

OPS_Pettigrove says:
*CNS*:  Can you ask him to report to the bridge immediately, please.

Host CO_Zax says:
::raises a brow::

TO_Choi says:
::Sits back in his chair::

CNS_Luchena says:
CIV:  I've been asked to ask you to report to the bridge apparently.  ::grins::

XO_O`Dunn says:
CSO: Launch a probe. FCO: Keep us at a VERY safe distance.

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::looks shocked::  CNS: The bridge??  What for?

Host CO_Zax says:
CSO/SO: Coordinate and find out just what the hell is going on.

CNS_Luchena says:
*OPS*:  He wants to know what for.

CSO_Hull says:
CO:  Aye, probe ready......probe launched

CEO_Gagne says:
::Does a Field correction on the Power Coils::

EO_ToddBooker says:

TO_Choi says:
::Tenses: CO: Oh wait... I'm detecting a warp signature.. it's heading out of the storm in an opposite direction..

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::wonders why he wasn't COMMed directly::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
*CNS*:  Because the Captain just ordered him here, that's why!

FCO_DeRidder says:
::turns to look at the CSO, then responds to the XOs command:: XO: Aye. Our Current course keeps us better than 50,000 Kilometers from the storms perimeter.

Host Scullder says:
ACTION: The probe is launched and speeds toward the Storm.

CNS_Luchena says:
CIV:  You heard the lady.::grins again::

CSO_Hull says:
CO:  Receiving telemetry......ETA with the storm in 30 seconds

Host CO_Zax says:
::frowns:: TO: Out of the storm?

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::smiles and shrugs as he walks with the CNS::  CNS: I didn't catch your name.

TO_Choi says:
CO: That's what I’m reading, Ma'am

XO_O`Dunn says:
CSO: ETA...? FCO: I thought you were keeping us 50k from it!

CNS_Luchena says:
CIV:  Mikal Luchena.  Counsellor.

CNS_Luchena says:
*OPS*:  I think he's on his way.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Cmdr Lynch is on his way, Ma'am.

CSO_Hull says:
XO:  the probes ETA

OPS_Pettigrove says:
*CNS*:  Thank you, Counsellor.  Pettigrove out.

CEO_Gagne says:
EO: No idea, but we are at Yellow alert, start running level 5 diagnostics on the Warp Core Field, I'll try to finish these repairs to the power relays now.

Host CO_Zax says:
TO: Can you track it?

TO_Choi says:
CO: Attempting

XO_O`Dunn says:
::nods to the CSO in relief, realizing that maybe she's reacting a little harshly to the alert::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::studders in his step as he heard the dreaded title::  CNS: Counsellor huh.  We seem to go through those faster than deuterium.  ::smiles::  When did you come on board?

CSO_Hull says:
CO:  Probe has reached the perimeter of the storm...analyzing

FCO_DeRidder says:
XO_O`Dunn: We are... ::pauses:: 50,000 Kilometers Commander.

CNS_Luchena says:
CIV:  Just after the bridge exploded.  You?

EO_ToddBooker says:
CEO: I’m on it ::start running level 5 diagnostics on the Warp Core Field,::

CSO_Hull says:
::Turns back to his console and makes some adjustments::

XO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: Good, maintain.

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods::

TO_Choi says:
CO: The warp field is dissipating quickly.. I can only track it if we move closer, Ma'am

Host CO_Zax says:
::hopes the FCO is as good as he seems to be::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::sighs::  CNS: It seems like an eternity.  I came onboard on Stardate 10104.15 to be precise.  Shortly after the Pendragon lost her previous Captain.

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CNS: Your not headed to the bridge are you?

CSO_Hull says:
CO/XO:  This storm does not fit any known parameters of storms, Ion or otherwise, the readings are fake, energy signature not previously recorded

CEO_Gagne says:
::Aligns the power grids.::

CNS_Luchena says:
CIV:  Ah, an old timer.  ::grins::

XO_O`Dunn says:
CO: I recommend we NOT charge through the storm to chase an unidentified vessel.

CNS_Luchena says:
CIV:  No.  Unfortunately, I'm off to sickbay.

TO_Choi says:
Self: I'm loosing it!

FCO_DeRidder says:
XO_O`Dunn: Aye. ::senses a bit of stress from various people on the bridge::

SO_Toms says:
::runs level 5 diagnostics on systems to try to ferret out any anomalies::

Host CO_Zax says:
::raises an eyebrow:: XO: Why thank you, Commander.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::monitors COMM traffic to see if the ship made any transmissions::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::smiles::

Host CO_Zax says:
::hadn't planned on it::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::chuckles::  CNS: Those were the days.  I wasn't in charge of anything back then.  ::hears the CNS's recent comment:: Sickbay... well I'd better go see what the Captain wants.  Nice to meet you.  ::Smiles::

XO_O`Dunn says:
CO: Just wanted to say that....

Host Scullder says:
ACTION: The signal to the probe is lost and something emerges from the storm on a return trajectory.

TO_Choi says:
CO: Losing the signal, We have to move closer if we want to track it!

FCO_DeRidder says:
::smirks under breath at the Captain's sarcasm::

Host CO_Zax says:
FCO: Keep us clear.

XO_O`Dunn says:
::sees that:: OPS: Red alert!

EO_ToddBooker says:
CEO: warp core is at 99.9993% a little to perfect sir

CSO_Hull says:
::turns after hearing the CO and XO's exchange:: CO:  Captain, something is on a collision course, lost contact with the probe

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Aye, Sir!  ::initiates Red Alert and informs all decks::

CNS_Luchena says:
CIV:  I'll see you again sir.

XO_O`Dunn says:
::hopes the FCO keeps them clear:: CSO: What is it?

SO_Toms says:
::tries to get info on incoming object::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::nodding as he enters a TL::  TL: Bridge

CSO_Hull says:
CO:  Unknown, speculate a probe of its own perhaps...

Host Scullder says:
ACTION: The Klaxons wail throughout the ship

TO_Choi says:
::Taps madly, trying to maintain lock::

CNS_Luchena says:
::finally arrives in sickbay just as the red alert goes off::

CEO_Gagne says:
::Looks up:: EO: Wow.... ::Sees Red Alert on his panel:: Self: Crap....  EO: Red Alert Protocols.

Host CO_Zax says:
TO: Scan for other ships in the area.

XO_O`Dunn says:
CO: So move us out of the way....

FCO_DeRidder says:
::tapping course corrections to avoid the object::

Host Scullder says:
ACTION: It appears to be similar to a Class 9 probe and is increasing speed.

TO_Choi says:
::Hears red alert and powers weapons::

CNS_Luchena says:
::tries to recall where he's supposed to be in an emergency::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Nothing on Comms, Sir.  Traffic is normal.

CNS_Luchena says:
::knows it isn't sickbay for sure::

TO_Choi says:
CO: I'm doing the best I can, Ma'am.. 

MO_Gilthanas says:
::Comes out of a backroom with her arms full of odd items.::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::nods to OPS::

CSO_Hull says:
CO:  Captain, specifications are similar to a class 9 probe, Starfleet 

CNS_Luchena says:
::sees an MO and thinks of making a run for it::

XO_O`Dunn says:
TO: Target that object and prepare to fire.

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::TL doors opening to the bridge, he steps out looking around like a lost puppy having never SEEN an "actual" Bridge before::

Host CO_Zax says:
FCO: Evasive.

MO_Gilthanas says:
CNS:  Hello.

TO_Choi says:
XO: Yes Ma'am, Targeting

TO_Choi says:
::Targets Object::

FCO_DeRidder says:
::eyes sensors:: CO: Aye Captain... Engaging Evasive Maneuvers..... ::increases to warp 6 and lays in evasive course headings::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Should I try and access the probe's systems, Sir?

XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Go ahead.

TO_Choi says:
CO: No ships detectable in this vicinity Ma'am

Host Scullder says:
ACTION: The Probe matches course and speed with the Alcott

CNS_Luchena says:
MO:  Hi.  I was supposed to report for a physical, but with the red alert and all I think I should go to the bridge instead.

XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Can you get a tractor beam on it?

FCO_DeRidder says:
::turns and looks to the CO with a concerned look:: CO: It's matching course and speed Captain!

CSO_Hull says:
XO:  Recommend using a tractor beam to hold the probe out a safe distance

MO_Gilthanas says:
CNS:  Alright.  Am I supposed to be there as well?

EO_ToddBooker says:
CEO: yes sir :: run over to warp core to luck it down::

FCO_DeRidder says:
CO_Zax: Shall I increase speed?

Host CO_Zax says:
XO: Your recommendation, Commander?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  I can try, Sir.  ::locks on and activates the beam::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::approaches who appears to be the Executive Officer::  XO: Lieutenant Commander Lynch reporting as ordered

CNS_Luchena says:
MO:  No.  I think you're supposed to prepare sickbay for casualties.

XO_O`Dunn says:
CO: Depends on if the tractor beam works.

Host Scullder says:
ACTION: The tractor beam cannot lock on.

XO_O`Dunn says:
CIV: Pleased to meet you....

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks at the MO strangely::

SO_Toms says:
::intensely looking at the incoming data about the item, but maintaining an eye on the  "storm"::

XO_O`Dunn says:
CO: I recommend we fire.

FCO_DeRidder says:
CO_Zax: Captain... Shall I increase speed?

MO_Gilthanas says:
::Smiles::  Ahhh...  CNS:  Thank you counselor.  And welcome aboard.

TO_Choi says:
:::Maintains targeting lock::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::conceals his shock at the response after having reported as ordered::

CNS_Luchena says:
MO:  Who are you?

CSO_Hull says:
CO:  Captain I recommend we come to a slow full stop...

TO_Choi says:
XO: Phasers locked, Torpedoes standing by..

Host CO_Zax says:
::shakes her head:: FCO: drop down to sub light.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Targeting sensors cannot lock onto it.  It's like there is nothing to lock onto.

XO_O`Dunn says:
::looks at the CO as if she's lost her mind::

CSO_Hull says:
CO:  There has been no hostilities, this maybe a First Contact

CEO_Gagne says:
::Plops in his chair and finishes the repairs::

MO_Gilthanas says:
CNS:  I am Gilthanas... doctor Gilthanas today.

Host Scullder says:
ACTION: The Probe increases speed and closes on the Alcott.

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::notes something important is obviously going on and steps out of the way::

CNS_Luchena says:
::eyes widen::  MO:  You are Gilthanas?

XO_O`Dunn says:
::sighs:: CO: Lynch is here to see you, captain.

FCO_DeRidder says:
CO_Zax: Dropping to Sub light... ::disengages warp::

CSO_Hull says:
CO:  Certainly we can defend ourselves if need be,  after all risk is our business

MO_Gilthanas says:
::Puts the odds-n-ends on one of the counters.

CEO_Gagne says:
EO: Prepare to transfer Aux. Power to Shields.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  It's increasing speed.  I'm going to attempt to shut it down remotely.

XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Please do.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::tries to access the probe's systems::

MO_Gilthanas says:
CNS:  Yes, I am Gilthanas.  And you are the Pendragon’s new counselor.  Did you wish me to continue with your physical or did you wish to go to the bridge?

CSO_Hull says:
::snickers at his last commend::

FCO_DeRidder says:
::swinging around a new course at full impulse:: CO: Maintaining Evasives.... New course. 184 mark 12.

CNS_Luchena says:
MO:  The Gilthanas?

EO_ToddBooker says:
CEO: yes sir :: transfer Aux Power to Shields::

Host CO_Zax says:
::smiles at the CIV:: CIV: welcome to bridge duty, Commander. Please assist at tactical.

MO_Gilthanas says:
::Simply looks at the counselor questioningly::

CNS_Luchena says:
MO:  From the Pendragon?  That Gilthanas?

Host Scullder says:
ACTION: As the Alcott drops out of warp, the probe passes and everything seems to slow to slow motion.  A green beam engulfs the Alcott and the entire crew can see it pass through the entire ship.  Then, it vanishes.

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::looks shocked thinking it's time to transfer the CO has gone insane::  CO: With all due respect ma'am...  I don't have the proper training

TO_Choi says:
Self: What the...

CEO_Gagne says:
::Taps into the Warp Power.::

XO_O`Dunn says:
SELF: Well, that was interesting.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
ALL:  What was that!

FCO_DeRidder says:
::looks up:: All: Ok......

XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Damage report?

CNS_Luchena says:
::sees a green beam pass by::  MO:  Did you see that?!

TO_Choi says:
SecondaryBridgeOfficer: Report!

Host CO_Zax says:
CSO: Report!

SO_Toms says:
::shocked as the beam passes through him::

EO_ToddBooker says:
CEO: ship power is ok sir

MO_Gilthanas says:
CNS:  Yes... some kind of probe.

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::looks at his clothing with his arms spread looking for the green light::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::nods::

TO_Choi says:
::Turns around, noticing that CPO Kerrek is no where to be seen::

CNS_Luchena says:
MO:  I have to find out what's going on.  It's been very nice meeting you, Gilthanas.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Sir, all systems are off-line, except life support and the main deflector.  However, I'm not reading any damage.

SO_Toms says:
CO/XO: I’ve lost power. I have no controls.

CSO_Hull says:
CO:  Unknown Captain, definitely a temporal phenomenon

Host Scullder says:
ACTION: Everyone can feel no difference in themselves nor do they see any differences in the Alcott.

XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Great. Send out the crews.

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::continues to stand around not knowing a thing about bridge operations::

MO_Gilthanas says:
CNS:  And it was nice to see you doctor.  I hope you enjoy your stay when you return to the Pendragon.

Host CO_Zax says:
CIV: That is why you are here...to learn.

TO_Choi says:
CO: Shields are offline... Weapons.. useless..

CEO_Gagne says:
::Taps his Tunic:: EO: Damage Report?

XO_O`Dunn says:
CSO: TEMPORAL?

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::knows the Captain has lost it::  CO: Ma'am, I am a biologist.

CNS_Luchena says:
MO:  And I hope to see you again.  ::smiles at the MO then leaves sickbay::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::figures they should have shot it::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
*CEO*:  Bridge to Engineering.  We've lost all power up here.  Everything is off-line except life support and the main deflector.  We need teams on it immediately.

FCO_DeRidder says:
XO_O`Dunn: Helm is not answering..... ::tries the manual override::

EO_ToddBooker says:
CEO: everything is gone offline except life support and main deflector

Host Scullder says:
ACTION: Slowly, the green glow fades and ship systems begin flickering back to life.

Host CO_Zax says:
::is losing patience:: CIV: And I am a fairy princess and yet here I am. Need I say more?

MO_Gilthanas says:
::As the counselor leaves, she returns to examining the odd items.  In some aspect, they remind her of ancient items used in tormenting of the flesh.::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Sir, systems are coming back on-line.

FCO_DeRidder says:
XO_O`Dunn: No Manual Override repso..... ::notices the light dissipating:: Stand by....

CNS_Luchena says:
::waits by a TL::

TO_Choi says:
ALL: Wait.... Systems beginning to reboot...

FCO_DeRidder says:
XO_O`Dunn: Helm Control Restored......

SO_Toms says:
Self: Yes, systems back ::buries head to find out what’s happened::

CSO_Hull says:
XO:  Yes Captain, you noticed the slow motion?

CEO_Gagne says:
::Taps his console:: *OPS*: I'll see what I can do.  No prom....ises?  ::Checks his console again::

FCO_DeRidder says:
::REB:: XO: That's just too freaky.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Sensors and communications are back, Sir.

CNS_Luchena says:
::enters the TL::  TL:: Bridge.

XO_O`Dunn says:
CSO: Yes, I did. By the way, I haven't been promoted to captain yet.

CNS_Luchena says:
::arrives on the bridge::

EO_ToddBooker says:
CEO: what is going on one minute the ship is offline and the next it is on ?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
All:  But where are we?  And when?

CSO_Hull says:
XO:  Sorry, a little excited...

XO_O`Dunn says:
CO: Maybe an all-stop and full diagnostic before we continue?

CNS_Luchena says:
All:  What sent that probe?

Host CO_Zax says:
CEO: Get things done...yesterday.

XO_O`Dunn says:
::smiles at the CSO::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CO: Ma'am, I will do as you say once you point me in the proper direction, but I must add, this is going in an official report to Starfleet.  You wouldn't assign an Engineer to conduct open-heart surgery would you?  I was commissioned on board this vessel to do what I know.

CEO_Gagne says:
EO: No Idea.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::tries to get a fix on their position::

SO_Toms says:
CO: Ma'am, I've got multiple errors on short and long range scans :: tries to find the problem::

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods at the XO::

CNS_Luchena says:
::standing there trying to figure out what everyone is talking about::

CSO_Hull says:
SO:  Run the last phenomenon through the computer, perhaps there is a past record of that affect we just witnessed

XO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: Full stop.

FCO_DeRidder says:
::reads current status:: XO: We are currently at all stop. ::looks to engine readiness monitor:: Still getting engine readiness reports from Engineering. ::looks over to navigational sensors:: Attempting to get a fix on our position

EO_ToddBooker says:
CEO: the ship power and systems are ok sir

XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Notify the departments, level two diagnostic, all systems.

XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Let me know if there are any "unusual" reports from sickbay.

MO_Gilthanas says:
::As someone enters the room, about to topple over, she leaves her exploration to deal with him before he falls to the ground::  Ensign, are you alright?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Aye, Sir.  ::sends notification to all departments to run level 2 diagnostics on all systems::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Aye, Sir.

CNS_Luchena says:
CSO:  It was a probe.

TO_Choi says:
::Sits, trying to verify what just happened::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::leans back in her chair and sighs:: CO: Any bets that this will come back to haunt us?

CEO_Gagne says:
::Starts rebooting his station::

FCO_DeRidder says:
::locks down thrusters to hold position:: XO: Thrusters at station keeping. Scanning the area for navigational points to get bearing.

SO_Toms says:
CO: Ma'am... I'm picking up... well nothing... no dust, stars... nothing ::scratches head::

CSO_Hull says:
CNS:  What makes you say that?

Host CO_Zax says:
XO: It always does.

MO_Gilthanas says:
::As he holds onto her, she shudders slightly, leading him over to the biobed.::

CNS_Luchena says:
CSO:  Gilthanas told me.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
*MO*:  Bridge to Sickbay.  Anything unusual going on down there, Doctor?

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::continues to wait for the proper direction to the tactical controls... begins roaming the bridge for something that "appears" to be it::

Host CO_Zax says:
CIV: On second thought...perhaps this phenomena is right up your alley. Please report to Lt. Hull.

CSO_Hull says:
CNS:  Are you in contact with the storm?  

XO_O`Dunn says:
SO: We are running high-level diagnostics....

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks confused::  CSO:  Contact?  What do you mean?

Host Scullder says:
ACTION: As Dr. Gilthanas looks out her office window, she cannot see any stars in the background.

SO_Toms says:
CSO: Aye sir. ::starts running information through the computer:: XO Aye ma'am.

Host CO_Zax says:
::looks at the viewscreen and frowns::

EO_ToddBooker says:
:: start to restart the warp core::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::sighs wondering what phenomenon she is talking about and begins looking around for a Lieutenant with a Blue tunic::

MO_Gilthanas says:
::Pauses and then reaches up to tap the comm badge::  *OPS*:  Nothing out of the ordinary.  I do have a crewman who just entered, but I am only starting to examine him.

FCO_DeRidder says:
::looks down at motion and navigational telemetry:: XO: Commander... We have a problem.

Host CO_Zax says:
OPS: Magnify view by 25%.

XO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: I don't like problems, ensign.

CSO_Hull says:
CNS: Who is Gilthanas?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
*MO*:  Keep us advised of anything unusual, Doctor.  Bridge out.

CNS_Luchena says:
CSO:  A MO... oh never mind.  It might have been a probe though.

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::finds one and approaches::  CSO: Lieutenant Hull?

XO_O`Dunn says:
::eyes the viewscreen also::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Magnifying by 25%.  ::magnifies the view::

FCO_DeRidder says:
::motions to the XO to look:: XO: I've ordered the helm to all stop, but this says we are holding at warp 4....

MO_Gilthanas says:
*OPS*:   I will.

Host Scullder says:
ACTION: The viewscreen is blank, almost as if not even on.

TO_Choi says:
::Scratches neck::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
All:  Where are the stars?  We are we?

CSO_Hull says:
CIV:  yes Commander?

FCO_DeRidder says:
XO_O`Dunn: And I am not reading any navigational beacons at all.

Host CO_Zax says:
OPS: 50%.

CEO_Gagne says:
::Gets the message from the bridge:: EO: Start a level 2 diagnostic on the propulsion systems, I'll start on the other systems.

CNS_Luchena says:
::notices everyone looking at the viewscreen so looks as well::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::gives Zax an "I told you so" look::

MO_Gilthanas says:
::Looks curiously at the comm badge then returns to checking out her patient.::

XO_O`Dunn says:
SELF: Some probe.

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::smiles having guessed right::  CSO: I was told to report to you by Captain Zax.  Something to do with this phenomenon?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::increases magnification to 50%::

Host CO_Zax says:
::decides that Kerina is getting too big for her britches::

FCO_DeRidder says:
XO_O`Dunn: We're not that far out. From my last reference point, there ought to be 17 beacons within LRS range.

CNS_Luchena says:
::stares at the viewscreen in disbelief::

Host Scullder says:
ACTION: The view remains blank.

EO_ToddBooker says:
CEO :on it sir ::Start running a level 2 diagnostic on the propulsion system::

CNS_Luchena says:
::needs to find an observation lounge::

TO_Choi says:
Self: What the... CO: Ma'am... shields are still up... But there is.. nothing at all out there..

XO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: Hmmm......

CSO_Hull says:
CIV:  What is your specialty?

FCO_DeRidder says:
::senses slight fear and confusion from some of the folks:: ::continues to try to stop the ship:: XO: Commander, Recommend Full Reverse on the warp engines.....

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  I'm not reading any communication traffic, either.  It's as if we are in a dead zone, Sir.

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CSO: Biology

MO_Gilthanas says:
::As she runs a scan on him, her frown deepens.  This ensign's problems were not so simple.  He needed serious medical treatment.::

FCO_DeRidder says:
::looks over:: XO: It's the only thing I can think of at the moment,

EO_ToddBooker says:
CEO:diagnostic is fine, looks normal

XO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: Why full reverse?

Host CO_Zax says:
All: Let's find out just where we are........

CEO_Gagne says:
::Does the diagnostics:: EO: Good.

SO_Toms says:
CSO: There doesn’t seem to be any record of this happening before, but I can’t be absolutely sure.

Host CO_Zax says:
CSO: Launch a probe.

XO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: Let's stay with all stop for now.

TO_Choi says:
CO: Permission to drop shields, Ma'am ?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::completes the diagnostic of the comm system ... finds nothing wrong::

FCO_DeRidder says:
::points to the panel:: XO: Last input request indicates all stop commander, but real time speed and course indicators are reading Warp 4.

CSO_Hull says:
CSO:  Biology?  Hmmmm, excellent, ::stands to the side of his console::  If you would Commander, would you analyze our probe's telemetry and make an educated guess on what that storm is

Host CO_Zax says:
::shakes her head:: TO: Permission denied.

FCO_DeRidder says:
XO_O`Dunn: We are apparently still moving.

CEO_Gagne says:
::Taps his console:: *Bridge*: This is Main Engineering, All Systems Green down here.

FCO_DeRidder says:
XO_O`Dunn: Fast

XO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: How are you detecting movement with no point of reference?

TO_Choi says:
::Shakes his head:: CO: Aye.

MO_Gilthanas says:
::Makes the ensign as comfortable as possible, then goes to search the crew records for the medical staff that had boarded.::

Host CO_Zax says:
TO: Anything on your scans?

CSO_Hull says:
SO:  That doesn’t surprise me Ensign Toms, being close to the Beta Quadrant, this might possibly be a life form we have not previously encountered

TO_Choi says:
CO: No, nothing at all..... nothing out there..

OPS_Pettigrove says:
*CEO*:  Acknowledged.

Host Scullder says:
ACTION: The ship systems have overridden shield control, they appear to have locked out control.

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::chuckles slightly thinking this has to be out of his expertise, then examines the probe's data::

FCO_DeRidder says:
::taps in reference check:: XO: I can't Commander. I suppose it COULD be a malfunction....

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO: Sir, Engineering reports all systems green.

XO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: It would have to be.

EO_ToddBooker says:
:: walk over to a food re:: FR: pop :: get some pop and down it ::

Host CO_Zax says:
*CEO*: We need ALL systems working, Lt. Not just some of them.

XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Good. Have them check the helm, since it's reporting movement without reference.

SO_Toms says:
CSO: Aye sir.. that could be true... but everything seemed artificial. Wouldn’t a life form put out natural readings??

MO_Gilthanas says:
::Finding the doctor for the next shift, she comms him to come to sickbay.::

CNS_Luchena says:
::still trying to figure out what is going and what has gone on::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
*CEO*:  Can you check helm systems.  We appear to have a problem ... it's reporting movement without reference.

Host Scullder says:
ACTION: The SO detects a blip on Long Range Scans.

CSO_Hull says:
SO:  that was a temporal probe, it could be a multi phasic life form, in subspace perhaps 

CEO_Gagne says:
::Shakes his head:: *CO*: Aye Captain.  And Yes Today.

EO_ToddBooker says:
