Host Coot says:
Last time on the U.S.S. Pendragon . . .

Host Coot says:
The U.S.S. Pendragon returned to the Alpha Sigma 9 system to investigate a subspace anomaly detected by their initial scans of the area during their previous mission. Initial scans of the system show that the twin stars of the system orbit a localized subspace disturbance.

Host Coot says:
This disturbance shows an apparent rift in the time-space fabric equidistant between the stars. An "eruption" of subspace material was detected and random energy strings emitted from the rift. These energy strings had a reverse aging affect on anything it encountered, including affecting the first planet of the system and one of the twin stars.

Host Coot says:
The scorched surface of the planet briefly reverted to a tropical ecosphere, before returning to wasteland. The effected yellow star began taking on properties of a younger, blue star. The Pendragon managed to reverse the flow of material coming through the rift and seal it.

Host Coot says:
However, a shuttle craft investigating the rift was pulled through. All crew aboard the shuttle craft have been deemed MIA and a rescue operation has been launched.

@::Ashley looks around the shuttle with a rather annoyed look on her face:: CEO: Are you feeling ok, Jose? ::She moves over to his side::

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: Aboard the shuttle, emergency lighting flickers to life, casting an eerie glow upon its confused passengers.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::monitors the orbit of the suns::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@::snaps to:: XO: Yeah...I'm okay. I just passed out when we....where are we?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::steps through the RR doors and marches onto the bridge::  aCTO: Lieutenant Tribble, how long will it take your people to remove the warhead from four Torpedoes and replace two with Chronoton Particles and Two with Anti-Chronoton Particles?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She takes out one of the med kits and uses the medical tricorder to scan Jose:: CEO: The Gamma Quadrant. ::She says this monotone::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: We're right on it, Sir.  ::enacts orders::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@XO: The Gamma quadrant? Damn....::notices his clothes:: So why don't my clothes fit anymore? This is strange.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
*Sickbay* How is your analysis of the logs from the anomaly?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She notes that there is nothing seriously wrong with Jose except for a few cuts and bruises:: CEO: You'll be fine regarding your injuries. I just have a few minor ones myself. ::She looks over her uniform and notes that they are rather baggy:: CEO: Perhaps they were just stretched. ::She shrugs::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
*COMM* Ens. Mulder:  Estimated time to completion?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@XO: We're a lojng way from home. :: looks over his console ::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS: .Mr Luchena...  prepare the Deflector Dish...  Super charge it with Chronoton Particles and prepare to fire on the exact coordinates of the Subspace Rift's prior location

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@CEO: We have more important things to worry about right now I think. We need to ascertain where exactly we are in relation to... old foes. ::She begins to move her fingers along the console:: CEO: We may need some more power...

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::looks up from the science console::  CO:  Captain.  The two suns remain in stable orbit.  Its likely that the suns had something to do with creating or maintaining the rift.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@::checks propulsion::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS: So this was a natural phenomenon.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
<Mulder>*aCTO*: Estimated time to completion six minutes, Ma'am.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: Six minutes, Sir.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She turns to Jose with a sense of relief:: CEO: Well, at least the consoles are.... ::She pauses:: CEO: Oh my....

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::moves down towards her usual OPS console::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  I can't say that for certain Captain.  ::signals Engineering to prepare the dish::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
aCTO: Then get on it Lieutenant.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@XO: What?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS: IS there any indication that the rift could start up again on it's own?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::notices that the widow Thraxis has taken a station::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::Ashley stands up from the console and makes her way back over to Jose:: CEO: You look... quite young. ::She takes out the medical tricorder and begins to scan him for a second time::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::Mulder and Scully are working furiously aided by other Security personnel::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  It might be that something has to pass from the other side.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@ XO: I am young. :: looks at his console again :: All of the shuttles systems are working.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::concentrates his scans on the area where the rift used to be::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::moves over to the Port side of the bridge and Operations while listening to the CNS::  Jordan: Ship’s status?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@CEO: How old are you? ::She looks over the console with a raised eyebrow:: CEO: This tricorder is acting funny. I don't understand some of what it is saying...

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::checks:: CO: All good.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@ XO: I'm 25. Why? I feel okay. Let me take a look at the tricorder...

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::compares current scans to the scans from when the rift was open::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@CEO: Umm... from what I can gather from the Tricorder, you're 18 years old. ::She looks over him carefully:: CEO: Look closely at me.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::nods::  Jordan: Good.  Priority EPS supply will be the deflector dish for the duration of this mission.  Understood?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::smiles:  CO:  Already on it.

Host Coot says:
<ENG> *Bridge* We're ready down here.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@::Looks at her:: XO: You're....you're the....Where am I? And what do all these lights mean? ::motions at his console ::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  The deflector dish is ready to fire, Captain.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
<Mulder>*aCTO* The four torpedoes are ready, Ma'am.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::Ashley shakes her head briefly:: CEO: I don't understand why I don't understand some of these readings. I should know exactly what they mean, and yet, I... ::She raises an eyebrow toward Jose:: CEO: Are you feeling ok Jose? I think you need to take a seat. ::She motions to one of the stations::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  EPS priority to the deflector established.  We're good to go.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::hearing Thraxis he moves back to his command chair but does not sit::  aCTO: Torpedoes?  ::looking at the viewscreen and hearing the CNS::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: Torpedoes are ready, too, Sir.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@::takes a seat:: XO: I feel okay...but these lights...the controls. They are hauntingly familiar, yet I don't know what to make of them. Do you?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
aCTO: Drop one Chronoton and one ANTI-chronoton on this side of the rift just prior to our entering.  Once we are through, drop the other two on the other side.  Understood?

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::prepares to fire torpedoes::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
aCTO:  You'll need to compensate for the solar shear.  Sending you the data now.

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: A indicator light begins flashing on the shuttle's console.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@CEO: But of course I do. They are console. Haven't you been on a starship simulation before? I mean, really. My father allows me to play Captain whenever we have time.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
aCTO: Have them set up fro destruction at your command.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@::looks at the light:: XO: What does that mean?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS: Counsellor....  fire the deflector dish.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::receives the data and sets the torpedoes at ready::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::monitors the power flow carefully::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She walks over to the pilots seat and hops in it:: CEO: I have no idea. Maybe we should ask the computer. Usually when something flashes, something is wrong. ::She looks around:: Computer: What does that flashing light indicate?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@::waits for an answer::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  Aye Captain.  ::concentrates the chronoton particles towards the last located center of the rift::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::takes a seat while he awaits the dish's discharge::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: Firing torpedoes now.   ::fires::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
aCTO: Belay that!

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She looks down at the controls and eyes them carefully:: CEO: I think I can get us out of here. I never took a ship to warp before on my own, but I think it should be rather easy. I mean, how hard could it be?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
aCTO: I want them left like a stationary buoy on each side of the rift.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@XO: I have no idea. I should be at the beach in Puerto Rico.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::regains control of torpedoes and stabilizes their trajectory::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: A collective groan is heard in the Tactical Office...

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Bridge: Did anyone else hear that?  ::looking to the ceiling::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::Ashley suddenly receives a slight glimpse of something:: CEO: Do you remember the Pendragon, Jose? It just... came back to me. You are the... Chief something... Engineer. Right... that's it.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@XO: Hold on....I think I know this part....::starts pushing buttons::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::gives his head a shake::  CO:  No effect from the chronoton beam yet.  ::keeps monitoring::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS: Counsellor... status on the rift?  Is it forming?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She raises an eyebrow:: CEO: STOP!

Host Coot says:
@ <CPU> XO: An incoming vessel has been detected. 230 mark 10. ETA 15 minutes.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS: What in the name of the...

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@CEO: Are you insane? We don't need to be killed! ::She jumps at the sound of the Computer:: Self: Well that was a delayed reaction. ::She pauses:: CEO: You know... I should know how to handle this situation. I have command... umm.. skills.. yes.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Subspace readings indicate minor temporal disturbances at the source of the rift.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::stands and turns to face the CNS::  CNS: Do the suns have to be in some sort of precise alignment perhaps?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Jordan: The EPS flow is adequate correct?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@::takes his hands off the console:: XO: Whatever you say.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  EPS flow is adequate ...

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@CEO: That's right. I forgot... I am a boss! ::She cannot help but giggle a bit::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Bridge: We seemed to close the rift with far greater ease...

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@ XO: Yes, you are. Now what do you want me to do? Some of this is beginning to look more familiar.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  Perhaps it's unstable and moved on ...

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  We don't know how it was generated the first time.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She looks at Jose:: CEO: So a ship is coming our way. We need to... be careful. ::She walks over to the console:: CEO: I want to find out what ship is coming our way... but I don't know which button to press.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::walks to the front of the bridge with a hand on his chin in thoughts as he stares at the area the rift was located::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  We can maintain the beam for a few more minutes.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Activity at the rift begins to flux exponentially, the first detection of subspace material is made.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@::activates the viewscreen, and puts the incoming ship on screen:: XO: Maybe this will help.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  We've got it!

Jordan_Thraxis says:
All: Here we go ...

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::turns hearing the CNS::  CNS: Beginning to show signs of opening?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She looks at the screen:: CEO: You know... I feel like I should know so much more than I already do. Something is really wrong here...

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: An audible alarm is now heard as well.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@XO: The feeling is mutual. I have studied this stuff...warp propulsion was my major.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She jumps at the sound of the alarm:: Self: Stupid alarm! ::She shouts:: Computer: Silence that noise!

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  Sensors have detected subspace matter.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::moves back to his seat::  Jordan: Mrs. Thraxis, you're going to have to perform double duty today.  Take us into the rift once it is at it's aperture::

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: The alarm silences.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
aCTO: Prepare to detonate the Chronoton Torpedo on this side of the rift on my mark.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::nods ... not sure whether this is such a good idea:: CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::slaves propulsion to her console::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::prepares other set of torpedoes::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@Computer: What type of ship is that?

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: Aye, Sir. ::prepares to detonate::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She looks at Jose:: CEO:... and I'm suppose to be experienced in medicine and command. ::She shakes her head:: CEO: This is all far to weird for me. I guess I should talk to them...

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Jordan: Mrs. Thraxis let me know once we are through the rift.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::prepares the course making minute corrections as she goes::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@XO: Your call

Host Coot says:
@ <CPU> XO: The vessel has been identified as a Ferengi garbage scow.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::As she looks at the ship on the viewscreen she cannot help but shake a bit:: CEO: You know... I never liked confrontation. Lets run!

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  We've only a enough chronotons for another 30 seconds emission.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS: Status on the Subspace convergence?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@::rote:: XO: Prepare for warp

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@CEO: How do I prepare for warp? ::She asks him in a serious fashion:: CEO: I never had to prepare before.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The rift emits a large eruption of subspace matter as the Pendragon begins to cross the threshold. Random energy streams shoot off in all directions.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  Entering the rift now!

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@XO: Then let me try ::attempts to bring the ship into warp, at an arbitrary heading::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::scans the energy streams::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
aCTO: Detonate the Chronoton Torpedo and prepare to drop the remaining two torpedoes once we are through.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  It is increasing in intensity.  Subspace particles are being emitted at greater mass.

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: The shuttle lurches forward, reaching impulse speed.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS: Cut the Deflector dish.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@CEO: Are we at warp? ::She looks around a bit confused::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::detonates:: CO: The torpedo is detonated.  The other two are at ready, Sir.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  Aye.  ::powers down the deflector dish::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::keeps the ship going straight .... ::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@XO: We're at impulse. ::tries again::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::concentrates on the viewscreen::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She looks at the console in front of her:: Computer: Bring up all the information you have about the Ferengi and place it on the... the thing in front of me.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::resumes monitoring sensors::

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: The computer beeps accordingly and displays the requested information.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::steps up behind Jordan and speaks quietly:: Jordan: We through?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She begins to read the first part of the information, but has no idea how to scroll down to read more:: CEO: These Ferengi are ugly...

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::resting a hand on her shoulder as he waits::

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: The shuttle jumps to warp, although it wasn't the smoothest transition.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@XO: I'm certain they say the same about us....hey, we made it to warp

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She jolts a bit as the shuttle jumps to warp:: CEO: Good job Jose! Now we just keep running until they disappear!

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Pendragon is caught is a brilliant display of light and sound before emerging into empty space once again.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::checks her readings:: CO:  We're through.  Checking to see where we are ...

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::monitors the rift closely::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::removes his hand and walks back to his chair::  CNS: The rift?  Did it successfully seal behind us?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
aCTO: Scan for the shuttle.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  Checking Captain.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  There are no planets or other bodies nearby ...

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@::checks to see where they are headed::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::scans::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Sensors indicate the Pendragon is somewhere in the Gamma Quadrant.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Jordan: Any stellar phenomenon at all?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
Self:  Uh oh ...

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  The rift is sealing, Captain.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::hears Jordan::  Jordan: Uh oh?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  If I'm reading this right ... we're in the Gamma Quadrant.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@Computer: Are the Ferengi following us?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::lets out an audible sigh::  Self: Not again....

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Scans indicate the rift has sealed.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She stands up from her station and makes her way over to the Replicator:: CEO: According to what I have read, the Ferengi are money hungry and their goal is to trade and steal things...

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: The rift has sealed.  No sign of the shuttle.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Jordan: Specific location.  I need to know now...

Host Coot says:
@ <CPU> XO: The vessel has altered course.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  I'm working on it!  I'm not a navigator! ::spits the words out::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@XO: Well, the good news is we haven't hit anything. The bad is I have no idea where we are headed.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: Sir, uh, should we bring the Gamma shift FCO up?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She attempts to order a whisky but the replicator denies her request:: Self: Stupid machine. ::She looks toward Jose:: CEO: What do you think we should do? Maybe try and contact someone for help?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::darts a look at the aCTO knowing she asked likely due to lack of confidence in Jordan's abilities::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@ XO: We're nowhere. I'm not sure who to call.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@CEO: Well lets send out a call and see if we get a response. ::She pauses:: Computer: Open communication to anyone and everyone around us.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@::surprised:: XO: You think that will work? What if we get the Ferengis?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@CEO: They are scary. I'll make sure to only ask for nice people...

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::studies her instrument panel with mixed emotions::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
aCTO: Any sign of the shuttle at all?  Warp Trail? Impulse Trail?  Anything?

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: No, Sir. Nothing.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::compares what she's seeing with the charts from Voyager's trip ... looking for something to get a fix on ...::

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: The shuttle beeps accordingly.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::sighs::  Self: Odd...  If they went through the rift and we followed....  then logic would suggest...  Where is Jadis Charn when I need her...?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@COM: Gamma Quadrant: This is Ash Yates of the ::She pauses and looks up the name:: Federation Starship... Fin'dor? Umm.. Veendor. Oh forget it. Anyway, we are stranded here and we need assistance. Only those who are friendly need apply. Thanks.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@::laughs::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She winks at Jose:: CEO: Hopefully that'll get us some takers. I use to be very good at the communication thing. Perhaps I need to go back to the Academy for public speaking.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS: Counsellor... Could we have entered a different subspace convergence than that of the shuttle?  As in being led somewhere completely different?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@ XO: You know, you're a little strange. But I like you.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She gets an idea:: CEO: My trainer was actually showing me how to expand my telepathic communication skills. I could try those too!

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  It's very possible.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@CEO: Aww thanks! ::She gives Jose a hug:: CEO: You're a pretty nice guy. Because I like you, you can call me Ash. ::She smirks and saunters back to her station::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: Sir, I am detecting a communication.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@ XO: Go for it. I don't have a telepathic bone in my body ::grins::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  Captain, I think I know where we are .. and I'm picking up a weak comm signal ...

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::sighs hearing Luchena::  CNS: Not good.  Options?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::turns to Jordan waiting for the rest::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO:  Deep Space 3.  It's ::checks:: approximately 25 LY from us.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@CEO: Lets see what happens. I use to read the minds of others... but that caused a few multiple personality problems. ::She shrugs::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
aCTO: Contact them.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::can't think of any::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  I think the Comm might be the shuttle ...

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She notices a ring on her left index finger and raises an eyebrow:: CEO: I wonder how I got this thing. ::She shows it to him::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Jordan: Time to intercept with DS3 at warp six?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@XO: Have at it Ash.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  *Deep Space 3*  This is the Pendragon.   Please respond.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Jordan: The shuttle?  Try to hail them.  Determine their exact position and tell them to hold.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
COM: Vn'dor:  Shuttle Vn'dor, this is the USS Pendragon, do you read.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@CEO: Perhaps I could sell it for some decorations. We should hold a party when we return to our space. I could always ask the Ferengi to help us out.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  And it will take around 23 days to get to DS3 from our current location at Warp 6

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: The console begins beeping once more

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@::puts his feet up on the console as the ship flies:: XO: Sounds like a plan ::wry ::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She jumps up at the sound of the comm:: COM: Pendragon: Wow! I never expected a ship called the Pendragon to answer us! I think we came from the Pendragon too. How did you guys get such a cool name?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::sits back in his chair debating::  Jordan: Any news from the shuttle?

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: Sir, we're being hailed.  ::tries to make out the comm::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::looks startled at the response:: COMM: Vn'dor:  Shuttle Vn'dor, what is your current location?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She looks over at Jose:: CEO: Partying is my middle name. Life is meant to be one big party! At least, that is my philosophy.

Host Coot says:
# <DS3> COM: Pen: Pendragon? You guys lost?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
COM: DS3: We're having some difficulty.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@COM: Pendragon: Umm.. we're headed to a place at a speed of warp something or another. Do you guys know where we could get some booze? I really am in dire need of some fun...

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
COM: DS3: It's in our nature.  Contact Starfleet and let them know of our location.  any word from a Federation shuttle in the area?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
COM: Vn'dor:  Who is this?  Bring the shuttle to a full stop, tell us where you are and we'll come and get you.  Do you understand.

Host Coot says:
# <DS3> COM: Pen: Understood, but I am afraid we have had no contact with unexpected visitors.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@COM: Pendragon: Excuse me? ::She raises an eyebrow:: This is Ash Yates... and I expect to speak to your superior! How dare you speak to me in such a horrid manner?

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
COM: DS3: Have you been monitoring an unusual rift?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
COM: DS3: Thank you Deep Space Three.  We'll keep a subspace link on you for the duration of this mission in case...  well... just in case.  Pendragon out.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::looks around at the CO:: CO:  You have to hear this ... ::puts the comm on speakers::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She looks over at Jose:: CEO: That woman seems a bit annoying. See if you can find a planet that looks friendly. Maybe we can stop there?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::listening toward the ceiling::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@::attempts to stop the shuttle:: XO: I think we should do as she says

Jordan_Thraxis says:
COMM: Vn'dor:  Ashley?  This is Jordan.  Please tell us where you are.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@CEO: And give up a good party? No! Remember... I am the boss. ::Doesn't remember why at this point::

Host Coot says:
# <DS3> COMM: Pen: CTO: No nothing like that has been detected. But we shall start monitoring.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@ XO: I don't care. I'm stopping us.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS: Bring up the Security Codes on that shuttle.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@COM: Pendragon: Is that name suppose to ring a bell? The only Jordan I know is some girl who stole my boyfriend junior year of high school. I actually hate her...

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: Permission to transmit data on the rift to DS3, Sir?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
aCTO: Get a sensor lock on them and refer their exact location to Mrs. Thraxis.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@CEO: Do you trust these people?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::sighs::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
aCTO: Acknowledged.  ::speaks softer::  Excellent thought Lieutenant::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@ XO: I think we have to. Problem is, I don't know where we are.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@CEO: If you stop us those Ferengi may come back looking for us. I don't want to take that chance.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::operates sensors and obtains sensor lock on the shuttle, sends coordinates to Mrs. Thraxis::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
COMM: Vn'dor:  We picked up your signal, Ashley.  You asked for assistance ... well, we're here to provide just that.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@XO:  A minute ago you wanted to party with them!

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::transmits data on the rift to DS3::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@COM: Pendragon: Yes... but I asked for friendly people to apply. You don't seem to friendly to me. ::She pauses:: And.. well... we have no clue where we are. We don't understand how to work the controls all to well.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Jordan: Once you have the coordinates... Maximum warp.

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: The shuttle slows to a stop. Unfortunately it has very little to do with the skill of her Commanding Officer and more so to do with the fact that she managed to kill main power to the entire shuttle.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::receives the coordinates .. inputs them into the helm.  Goes to maximum warp::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She jumps as the lights turn off:: CEO: What was that!

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: They've stopped, Sir.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS: Do you have the override codes yet?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@::watches the emergency power come on:: XO: I'm not sure....

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  And I've just lost the comm signal ...

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::sighs hearing Jordan::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@CEO: Thank Brad Pitt that those lights turned back on. I would have been scared if we were stuck in the dark..

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  I don't have a very high security clearance Captain, but I'm trying.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The CTO receives confirmation the data was successfully transmitted.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@XO: Brad Pitt?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::moves over to the CNS' console and enters his own codes::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Jordan: Time to intercept?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@CEO: You have never heard of Brad Pitt? ::She gasps:: CEO: He is only one of the best actors of all time! If I was alive when he was around I would have been his wife!

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@::just stares:: XO: Okay.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  I'm sorry Captain.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@CEO: You really do not know about him? You are such a tortured soul!

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@XO: So what do we do now, fearless leader?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@CEO: You said you majored in warp something... fix it!

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  12 hours.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@::taps a few buttons on his console:: XO: I'm trying!

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@CEO: Try harder! ::She begins to press buttons as well::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Self: Twelve hours is a long time to wait when it would seem reasonable there is something wrong with the shuttle's oxygen mixture.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: Stand down from red alert, Sir?

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: The shuttle's lighting comes back on, but engines remain without power.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@CEO: I think, maybe, we should just wait here for the friendly Ferengi or the Pendragon people. At least they can help us get power back.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::sighs considering the aCTO's question and then consider the number of sighs he has performed so far:: aCTO: Stand down to Yellow Alert.  Affirmative.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She smiles as full lights come back on:: CEO: We did it! Go us!

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@::annoyed:: XO: I *am* working on it.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::modifies Alert status to Yellow and communicates that to all hands::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: Yellow alert, Sir.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@CEO: Take a chill pill Mister Uptight. Don't get your thong in a knot. There isn't much else we can do right now. ::She takes a seat on the floor::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
Self:  That was strange ....

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: Yet another alarm sounds on the Shuttle.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Jordan: Thraxis?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She jumps up:: Computer: What now!?!

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@ XO: How did you know I wear a thong? Did we ever......

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@ XO: What’s that?

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: It's possible that the shuttle personnel have experienced reverse aging - the effects of the particles.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
aCTO: What makes you say that?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She nearly gags in her mouth:: CEO: I'm sorry... but I only date real men. ::She turns away from him::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  The conversation I had with Ashley ... ::shakes her head:: CO:  It was as if they didn't know who we were or what they were doing ...

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@ XO: Okay "Ash"

Host Coot says:
@ <CPU> XO: The previously detected Ferengi vessel has altered course and is on an intercept course.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: The particles had that effect on the planet.   It's possible the particles could have the same effect on beings.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@Computer: Open communication with them.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: It would tend to explain the erratic nature of some of their behavior. ::shrugs::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  I agree.  They acted like they were teenagers or something ... ::shudders::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::hearing both Jordan and Tribble::  aCTO/Jordan: Reasonable.  If they did in deed reverse age...  is it possible to reverse the effect?

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: The computer beeps confirmation of the open comm.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@CEO: Have you ever dated or you know  with someone from another species?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  We need to know exactly what happened ... but it could be possible.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::looks at Jordan:: CO: I guess it's possible.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@ XO: No, I'm not interested in you.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::picks up the open comm::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@CEO: Eww! I am soooo not interested in you. I'm just curious to know if you have with anyone other than a human.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@ XO: No.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@CEO: Chicken!

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::monitors comm::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
aCTO/Jordan: Then we had best begin planning for that possibility now.  You two, go to Science and begin working on the options...  analyze the logs of the particle stream on the planet and the star for reference.  Dismissed.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::looks over at the aCTO and gets up::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::gestures:: Jordan:  After you, Mrs. Thraxis.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::moves over towards the TL::

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: A Ferengi voice breaks over the comm, but the words fall on deaf ears as the "non-interested" teenagers gaze deeply into each others eyes.

Host Coot says:
