USS Pendragon  - SD 10410.09

The Midas Array has detected a message that is emanating from subspace itself. There is no direction to the message and it is emanating in most of the Alpha quadrant. The only thing that the message contains are a stardate and galactic coordinates. The location is in between the Typhon expanse and the Galactic Barrier. 

You are ordered to proceed to these coordinates by SD 10410.09 and investigate this message. The location of the coordinates is open space and is claimed by no one. Should anyone else investigate this signal you are to insure that Starfleet's interests are upheld.

<FCO Black>: *FCO White* Lieutenant, ETA fifteen minutes, Range ten terameters, holding course eight eight four mark six seven. Preparing deceleration maneuvers.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::on the bridge at her station::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
*FCO Black* Understood.  I'm on my way.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::on the bridge at the science console, running scans::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::exits his quarters and makes for the turbolift::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
OPS: Stand by to commence scans...

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
:: exits turbolift at the bridge :: All: Good morning, folks.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Aye, Sir.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
XO:  Long-range sensors are picking up a Vulcan ship at the target coordinates.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::still facing forward::  CEO: Good Morning Mr. Thraxis...  Feeling well?

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
:: taps Ens. Senger on the shoulder at Engineering One :: Senger: Relieving you.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::brings all sensors on-line::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::exits the turbolift onto the bridge and heads for the helm::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CNS: Very Well Mr. Luchena.

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
XO: Practically normal, sir.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::smiles at the CEO::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::nods at the FCO as he emerges from the tl::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
OPS: Ms. Pettigrove...   Open a channel

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::quietly:: FCO Black: Your relieved.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks over the sensor data in hopes of identifying the Vulcan ship::

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
:: smiles broadly at Pettigrove ::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::scans the area:: XO:  I have the ship on sensors also.  Channel Open, Sir.  ::opens a channel to the Vulcan ship::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
<FCO Black> FCO White: Yes sir.

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
:: checks the status panel ::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
<FCO Black> ::stands, and leaves the bridge::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::notices Jordan smiling and Thraxis and Thraxis smiling at Jordan, and smiles::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
<and=at>

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
COM: Vulcan Ship: Unidentified Vulcan Vessel... This is the Federation Starship Pendragon...  Identify yourself please...

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  How are you feeling?

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::takes the vacated seat and monitors the deceleration process::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::wonders if Jordan will finally find the personal happiness she deserves::

Host VCO_S`ron says:
@COM: Pendragon: XO: S'ron commanding the T'Pau.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::compares the Vulcan ship with the database hoping to identify the class, just for practice::

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
OPS: Not too bad, considering. Having the Zircon stuck in my head is proving to be a nuisance, but I'm hopeful that time will help me deal with that. Do me a favor, will you... if you catch me yawning ostentatiously into the back of my hand, please kick me in the head.

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
::decides that he should finally head to his station, gets up and heads out of his room to the nearest quarters::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::notes that it's a science vessel::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::giggles to herself:: CEO:  Don't worry, I will.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::figures everyone else probably already figured that out, so there is no need to report it::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::glances around the bridge, nods quickly to himself, than returns to grimly monitoring the deceleration process::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
COM: T`Pau: Commander S`Ron...   Starfleet Operations has been monitoring a subspace communication with these corrdinates interwoven in the message.  Came off of the Midas Array a couple days ago...   You wouldn't be here for the same reason would you?

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
::enters the TL:: TL: Bridge

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
:: grins :: OPS: You're a true friend, Jordan.

Host VCO_S`ron says:
@::nods:: COM: Pendragon: XO: Very perceptive Commander. We are here for that reason.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  Glad I could help.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::looks at the CEO::CEO: Three minutes to impulse.

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
FCO: Acknowledged. Impulse engines standing by.

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
::arrives on the bridge and moves to his station, checks sensor data and looks through tactical reports::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::watches the Vulcan on the viewscreen and contemplates his unease around Vulcans in general::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::begins comprehensive sensor scans::

Host VCO_S`ron says:
ACTION: The screen shows a typical Vulcan sitting in a small science vessel's bridge with 5 other officers in the background.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CTO:  It's a science vessel.  Probably not well armed.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
COM: T`Pau: Any luck as to what it is the recipiant of the message is supposed to find?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::notes that Pettigrove has initiated scans and shrugs::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
XO: Dropping out of warp, sir.  Slowing to impulse.  Engines coming up at full power. Range to coordinates nine point five million kilometers. Course eight eight four mark six seven

Host VCO_S`ron says:
@::nods:: COM: Pendragon: XO: No at present. This space is empty. I speculate however it will not remain so.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::motions to the CNS to step down to the pit::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::stands:: FCO: Maintain course, full impulse.

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
CNS: I know. Still wise for me to check through the stuff.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
XO: Full impulse Aye sir

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::nods at the CTO and feels a bit superfluous::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
COM: T`Pau: Expecting company commander?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::moves to stand beside Irvin::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::watches the computer decelerate the ship and engage the impulse engines automatically::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::looks to the CTO::  CTO: Tactical Scan Newind...  Reach the sensors out as far as you can.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Continuing extensive sensor scans of the area and communications channels.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
OPS: Anything?

Host VCO_S`ron says:
@::nods:: COM: Pendragon: XO: The message was directed all over Subspace Commander. Any intelligent being with curiosity may be expected if they can make the specified time lapse.

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
:: maintains a close watch over all ship's systems ::

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
XO: Aye, sir. ::begins the scan::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::thinks it sounds like a trap::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Nothing yet, Sir.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
XO: ETA is two minutes, Slowing to half impulse now sir. ::slows the ship to half impulse::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
XO: ETA at one minute.  Taking us down to half impulse sir.  ::takes over control from the computer and maintains 1/4 impulse::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::smiles::  COM:T`Pau: A logical assumption Commander.  We'll establish a sensor com link upon arrival in the system so that you can get real time data from us.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::is getting a little nervous::  CO:  Yellow alert Sir?

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
Com:T`Pau: Pendragon Out

Host VCO_S`ron says:
@COM: Pendragon: XO: A logical precaution T'Pau out.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::slows the ship to a smooth stop.:: XO All stop sir.  Sensors indicate distance to cordinates at fifty kilometers.  Holding position.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CNS: Not yet...  We're all friends here...   But what do you make of that Vulcan...  I feel as if he is hiding something....

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
XO: Sir. There is a Ferengi Marauder at warp 9.5 heading this way.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
XO:  Yeah, his feelings.  That's what they do.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
FCO: Very Good Mr. White.  Thrusters at station keeping....

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::whistles under his breath at the Marauder's speed::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
Self:  I wonder what they want ...

FCO_LtJg_White says:
XO: Aye sir.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::turns to the CTO:: CTO: Time to intercept?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Shall I hail them?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::is getting really nervous::  CO:  Yellow alert now, Sir?

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::overhears the OPS:: OPS: what they always want. Profit.

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
XO: 10 minutes, sir.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::rubs chin thoughtfully::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CTO: Yellow Alert.  Raise Shields

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::relaxes ever so slightly::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CNS: There.  Happy now Mikal?  ::smirks::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks at the XO and is a bit puzzled::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
OPS: Hail the Ferengi...

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::feeds the Marauder's track into the navigational computer and prepares to evade in the event that the speeding ship gets hostile::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
XO:  I suppose so Sir.  ::sits down::

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
::raises shields and activates Yellow Alert::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CNS: It's ok.  I would have been a little trepedacious too.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::opens a channel:: COM: Ferengi:  Unidentified Ferengi Vessel, this is the Starship Pendragon.  Respond please.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CEO:  Mr. Thraxis...   How do we fair in a fire fight with them...

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::prepares a course to take the Pendragon between the Ferengi and the Vulcan ship::

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
XO: Shields at 100%, weapons are fully charged... I'd say we'd give as good as we got, sir.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::recalls his exchange with Commander Irvin during the last mission and is surprised he wasn't disciplined over it::

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
::starts looking at what tactical resources are at disposal::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::waits for a response::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::vows to keep it together this time::

Host FCO_Krauq says:
#COM: Pendragon: XO: I knew it !!  Thieves !  Thieves !  We heard the message first ! Thieves !

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::leans back a bit::  CEO: Thraxis..  I'm shocked!  Quite a bit of work in such a short amount of time...  Thanks.  ::smiles::

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
::is puzzled:: Self: Since when are we thieves?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::overhears the com and grins::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Sir, I have the Ferrengi.  ::puts them on-screen::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Must you?  ::smiles::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::grins:: CNS:  Sorry.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
COM: Ferengi: The entire quadrant heard the message at the exact same time....  And you don't even know if it's a profitable motif or not...   Why don't you start with telling me who you are...

Host FCO_Krauq says:
#COM: Pendragon: XO: I am Daimon Krauq  and it is ours I tell you. OURS !

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Sir, let them have it.  If it is a trap then it's better they get caught than us ...

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::winks at OPS::  COM: Krauq: It doesn't belong to anyone, and besides...  The Vulcan ship was here first.

Host FCO_Krauq says:
#COM: Pendragon: XO: Federation LIES !

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
COM: Krauq: Oh SHUT UP!  ::presses a button on the center seat to end the transmission::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::laughs out loud::

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
::shakes his head::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
XO:  Oops... sorry Sir.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
All: No one annoys me more than the Ferengi....

Host FCO_Krauq says:
ACTION: The screen shows an empty starfield instead of a ticked off Ferengi.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::looks at the XO with a raised eyebrow::

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
XO: Um, sir? Didn't we just learn about manners?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
All:  Were did they go?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::another chuckle escapes::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::puts his hand over his mouth to stop::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CTO: It's the Ferengi...  I think I'll be forgiven.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::turns around and looks at the screen::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CTO: Sensor data?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::scans for the Ferengi vessel::

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
XO: If you say so. ::looks at his console and does another scan::

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
XO: Scanning now.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
XO: Intercept on the Ferengi ship is thirty seconds sir.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
All: But we should be able to see the Vulcan vessel....

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::sits in the center seat::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
OPS: Is she still out there Commander?

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
Self: That was a quick 10 minutes...

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::checks sensors::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Yes Sir,  They are behind us.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::rolls eyes::  OPS: Reverse angle on viewer

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Reverse angle, Aye.  ::reverses angle on viewer::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::slips on his console and pulls it forward::

Host FCO_Krauq says:
ACTION: The screen shows a Vulcan ship scanning like only Vulcans can do.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::sets sensors to continuously monitor the coordinates of the promised "event"::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::sigh::  All: Ok folks...   Looks like the boogie man is leaving us alone for a change...   Let's do it by the book.

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
::if he had a watch, he'd be tapping his foot looking at it::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
OPS: Begin a standard sector charting scan.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CTO: Keep an eye out for any other vessels entering the area...

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Aye, Sir.  ::begins the scan::

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
XO: Aye, sir, but do Marauders really just disappear like that?

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
:: watches his console for any effects of a possible subspace disturbance ::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::brings up a digitized image of the coordinates and watches the sensor data scroll across the bottom of the screen::

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
::does a deep space scan::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::watches the data coming in from the scans::

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
::notes something on the sensors, but then it disappears:: Self: Musta been a fly.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::watches his console intently::

Host FCO_Krauq says:
ACTION: The Ferengi vessel drops out of warp in a burst of light.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::notices a momentary change in the sensor data and suspects its the Ferengi ship dropping out of warp::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
FCO: Begin ploting scanning grids...   Coordinate with OPS to cover the largest amount of area possible.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::rubs his hands togeather::XO: Yes sir.

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
Self: Ow.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::looks over at the FCO:: FCO: Welcome to the fun.

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
::watches the Ferengi ship, just waiting for it to become tactically active::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::leans over towards the CNS:: CNS: Any thoughts off the Ferengi OTHER than greed?

FCO_LtJg_White says:
OPS: Yes ma'am.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  What else is there?  They'd sell their own mother if it meant profit ...

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
XO:  I'm trying to avoid telepathic contact, Sir.  Doctor's orders.  On the surface they seemed fairly typical to me.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CNS: Very well...

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
XO:  I wouldn't be surprised to see more company though, Sir.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::chuckles at OPS::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
XO: You think there might be a klingon ship or something cloked out there?...It would make some sence.

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
XO: Sir. There was a blip on sensors. But it isn't there anymore.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
FCO:  Or maybe the Romulans ...

Ens_Tribble says:
CNS: What do you think Counselor?

FCO_LtJg_White says:
OPS: Or Orion...or anyone else, for that matter.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Tribble:  They don't pay me to think.  ::grins::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::stands up::  FCO: Z plus 200,000 meters...  Adjust search patterns....

FCO_LtJg_White says:
XO: Yes sir

Ens_Tribble says:
CTO: You sure you saw it?

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
::notes that the XO seems to be ignoring him, runs a scan looking for any ion trails::

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
Tribble: Not really, but better safe than sorry.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::feeds the adjustments into the computer and monitors it::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CEO: Mr. Thraxis...  Think you can rig me up a Thetaron Pulse through the Nav Deflector?  A cloaked vessel is a good possibility

Ens_Tribble says:
::scanning for tachyon emissions::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::sees something:: Self:  What the .... XO:  Commander!!  Something weird is happening to this region of space!

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  What is it?  ::looks at sensor data on his console closely::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
OPS: What is it Commander?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Sir, a transwarp condiuit is forming!

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
XO: I'll get right on it, sir...

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
Self: Never in the right place at the right time.. more like wrong place wrong time ::frowns::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::swears::

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
:: begins reconfiguring the deflector dish ::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::prepares a course to get them out of the area quickly::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
XO:  Red alert Sir?

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::stands behind the OPS officer and looks on::  Self: Crap...  Now is not a good time for this....

Ens_Tribble says:
CTO: Transwarp?  Borg? Oh no!

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CNS: You're damn right!  Battlestations.  All Hands, Red Alert.

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
Tribble: Excuse me?

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
OPS: Inform the Vulcans and the Ferengi, though I am sure the detect it too

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::overhears tribble and shakes her head::  Tribble:  No, I don't think so.  The conduit does not match the type used by the Borg.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks puzzled::

Ens_Tribble says:
CTO: What do you think will come through the transwarp conduit?

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::takes a seat in the center chair::

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
XO: Shall I abort the deflector reconfiguration, sir?

Ens_Tribble says:
OPS: What a relief.  Thanks.

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
::brings up weapons and Red Alert status::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CEO: Yes...  Stand by on Aux power.

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
Tribble: Relief? Hardly.

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
XO: Aye, sir.

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
Tribble: We don't know what is coming through there.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CTO:  But we're about to find out.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::sends a message to the Vulcans and the Ferrengi warning them about the conduit::

Host FCO_Krauq says:
ACTION: A hole in space begins to open up at the coordinates specified in the message.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CTO: Mr Newind, bring up the shield frequency and phaser rotation cycle and

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::feels the tension rising on the ship despite his best efforts to block it out::

Ens_Tribble says:
CTO: Anything but the Borg, we can fight. ::looks determined to fight well::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Sir I recommend withdrawing to a safe distance.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
XO: Would you like me to move us closer sir?

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
::looks to the CNS:: CNS: Quite unfortunately..

Host FCO_Krauq says:
ACTION: The Vulcans and Ferengi move away quickly from the hole center.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::watches the screen and doesn't say a word::

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
::raises the shield frequency and phaser rotation cycle::

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
XO: And?

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
XO: Sir, I would suggest that we prepare a probe.

Host FCO_Krauq says:
ACTION: Sensors detect a Romulan vessel decloak and move away quickly as well.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::watches the Romulan vessel peel off::  CTO: Good call Mr. Newind..  Very perceptive

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::sees the Romulan vessel:: Self:  I knew it!  XO:  Sir, the Romulans just decloaked and are moving away.

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
::groans:: XO: Sir, a Romulan vessel just decloaked and is moving away quickly.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks at the sensor data and is not surprised::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::Checks his sensors, nodds and waits::

Ens_Tribble says:
OPS: So the Romulans have a transwarp conduit?

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
Tribble: No, no.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
Tribble:  Not that I know of

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::waits and watches::

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
Tribble: They just decloaked. They see the transwarp conduit too.

Ens_Tribble says:
::watches to see if the Rommies enter it::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::prepares to back the ship away from the conduit::

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
Tribble: At least, that's my take on it.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::keeps sensors peeled::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
FCO: Back us off...   1/4 a stern

Host FCO_Krauq says:
ACTION: 6 Unknown vessels exit the transwarp conduits. 

FCO_LtJg_White says:
XO: Aye sir one quarter reverse impulse.

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
XO: Um, sir.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::carefuly backs the ship at one quarter impulse::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
XO:  Holy smokes!  What are those?!

Ens_Tribble says:
::tries to identify the vessels on the computer::

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
XO: Weapons are ready.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
FCO: Distance?

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CTO: Stand by Mr. Newind...

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
XO: Yes, sir.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CTO: Tactical Scans...

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::wonders what they are, and what they are armed with::

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
XO: Yes, sir. ::begins the scans, trying to figure out their armament::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::scans the vessels:: XO:  Sir, if this is correct, there are 10,000 lifeforms on each of these vessels, it is possible they are colony vessels, however they are of completely unknown design.

Ens_Tribble says:
OPS: What kind of lifeforms?

FCO_LtJg_White says:
XO: Distance one thousand kilometers and growing sir.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::runs hand through hair::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
Tribble:  I don't know at the moment.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
FCO: All Stop

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
OPS: Open a channel

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Sir, they have weapons ... I can't tell how powerful.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
XO: Aye sir All stop.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::slows to station keeping::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::opens a channel:: XO: Channel open.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CEO: Can you get us out of here if need be Thraxis?

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
XO: We've got full warp capability, sir. What I can't tell you is whether we can outrun the newcomers.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
XO: Distance holding at twelve hundred kilometers sir.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Sir, they appear to be low body temperature lifeforms.  I'm reading each ship's temperature at 36 degrees Celsius.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::tries to sense something from the alien lifeforms, even though it's against Doctor's orders::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  I'm guessing but they could be reptilian in nature.

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
XO: My scans show the same as Pettigrove's. I can't tell what they are.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
COM: Unidentified Vessels: Unidentified vessels...  This is Commander Eli Irvin of the Federation Starship Pendragon, requesting identity....

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
COM: K`Sarn: Welcome.

Ens_Tribble says:
::thinks velocoraptor:: Oh no!

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::looks at the alien on the screen and watches::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
COM: K`Sarn: We have received a message telling us to be in this place.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::sees the reptile and realizes why he can't sense anything from them::

Host Anya says:
# COM: Pendragon: XO: Yes.... after milennia of searching we have finally found our home.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::has a bad feeling about this::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Self:  Our home?

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::looks over:: CTO: Can you tell if they have any weapons charged?  We must look pretty angry with our shields up and weapons armed

Host Anya says:
ACTION: The K'Sarn send a message with a DNA code in the signal.

Ens_Tribble says:
CTO: What do you think they mean by that?

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
ALL: Did they send us the message to come? A house party?

Host Anya says:
# COM: Pendragon: XO: We believe we come from this area of the Galaxy.

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
Tribble: Not a clue.

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
XO: Trying, sir.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Sir, the K'Sarn just sent us a message.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
OPS: What is it Commander?

Host Anya says:
# COM: Pendragon: XO: 65 Million years ago... we were transported off our planet after what we are told was a cataclysmic event. 

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Unsure, Sir ... but it has some kind of code in it ...

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
::does another tactical scan, only checking to see if weapons are charged.::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
XO:  Oh no... they just might be....

Ens_Tribble says:
CTO: Hmmmm.   I wonder if they came from Earth?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CNS:  The descendants in the Dinosaurs that died out on Earth?

Ens_Tribble says:
CTO: But, who transported them?

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
Tribble: Maybe..

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::raises an eyebrow::  COM:K`Sarn: 65 Million Years ago?

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
Tribble: Not a clue.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Sounds about right, doesn't it?

Host Anya says:
# COM: Pendragon: XO: We have sent you a reading of our DNA. Can you match it?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::accesses the biology database::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
OPS: Send it to the science station

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
COM: K`Sarn: Stand by....

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::Doesn't know that answer:: CNS:  Can we?  ::sends the code to Science::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CNS: Run a comparison....

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
XO:  The root DNA matches Sir.  They've likely evolved from Earth's dinosaurs

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
::dreads what he just heard::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::swings around and smiles, mumbling under breath::  Self: Beautiful...   Warp capable dinosaurs...  I should have stood in bed.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::wonders how the K'sarn will reply::

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
::thinks: Raptors on our planet.. do we tell them that they use to live on Earth? and will they think that we booted them off?::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
XO:  Obviously they've developed significant intelligence.  I'll see if I can better tell whether they descend from herbivores or carnivores.  ::grins::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CNS:  Any idea how they are going to react when they find out all their kind died out 65 million years ago ...

Ens_Tribble says:
XO: Should we respond?
