U.S.S. Pharaoh

SD 10208.08

Host Gilles says:
The USS Pharaoh has sent an away team to the USS Iapetus. The ship is quite literally a dead hulk. All power systems are gone and cannot be replaced. The away team succeeded in retrieving the final minutes from the log recorder. No other information is retrievable from the computer. The away team has not found any bodies only empty uniforms.

:: after getting a bowl of soup from the mess hall the CO takes it to the ready room and begins to go over background info on Quantum singularities ::

CTO_Gem says:
@ ::still fighting the suit:: Self: Maybe I'll get a smaller suit next time.

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@ ::hops down out of the Jeffries tube into a dark engineering section. Waiting for Ens Gem to follow, Eli begins a survey of the area with helmet flashlight glaring::

CTO_Gem says:
@ ::exits Jeffries Tube, still following the CEO::

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@ ::looks to rear to see Gem::

CTO_Gem says:
@ CEO: Are you the least bit comfortable in your suit?

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@ CTO: Of course not. ::smiles::

XO_Chalen says:
::taps combadge::  *CMO*:  Doctor, please report to the transporter room.

CTO_Gem says:
@ ::smiles:: CEO: Where to?

XO_Chalen says:
*CO*:  Chalen to Bridge, I'm ready to transport.

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@ ::taps com button on suit:: *CO* Irvin to Pharaoh. Ensign Gem and I have entered the Iapetus engine room

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@ CTO: Let's see if we can get lights and Life Support.

Host CO_Starks says:
*XO* roger that, use caution. But get me some answers fast we can't sit out here forever

XO_Chalen says:
::checks the seals on his Env. suit.

Host CO_Starks says:
*CEO* excellent, see what you can do about life support then get me a full damage report

CTO_Gem says:
@ ::nods and moves to a console, starts pressing keys::

Host CO_Starks says:
*CTO* do a sweep of main engineering then beam back to the ship

XO_Chalen says:
*CO*:  acknowledged.  I'll meet the Doc over there.    ::steps onto the pad and energizes::

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@ ::walks over to the internal power control cabinet on the far end of the engine room::

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@ CTO: Looks like you came all the way down here for nothing. ::smiles::

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@ ::opens the cabinet::

XO_Chalen says:
@::rematerializes by the CEO::   

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@ ::looks over to see the XO materialize:: XO: Hi.... You're just in time...

Host CO_Starks says:
:: continues to read on singularities, comparing notes to preliminary sensor data on this one ::

CTO_Gem says:
@ *CO*: Understood sir. ::smiles at CEO:: CEO: I'll be happy to get this suit off though. ::walks through main engineering... phaser rifle ready::

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: A faint distress signal is received  on the OPS console monitored by the FCO

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@ ::begins to tinker around with the aux power and emergency power leads in the cabinet::

XO_Chalen says:
@ CEO:  In time for what?  Not a big boom I hope......

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@ ::smiles:: XO: No... Nothing like that. Do me a favor and go over to the Master Control Console ::pointes:: and wait for the power distribution panel to light up.

FCO_Tim says:
CO: Incoming distress signal

XO_Chalen says:
CTO:  Ensign, has the ship been secured for hostiles?  Life signs may be getting masked by the anomaly.

Host CO_Starks says:
*FCO* I'm on my way

XO_Chalen says:
@CEO:  You got it.   ::heads to the panel::

Host CO_Starks says:
:: leaves ready room and heads for the bridge ::

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The signal cuts off... all you have is a bearing   250 mark 30     3 light years

CTO_Gem says:
@ ::looking through engineering:: *XO*: Commander. I don't see anything. My tricorder doesn't read anyone.

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@ ::begins to move some of the isolinear chips around and moves some ODN connections::

Host CO_Starks says:
:: enters bridge and take the center seat ::   FCO: what have you got?

FCO_Tim says:
CO: it was cut off all I've got is some coordinates  250 mark 30 distance 3 light years

CMO_Releben says:
@ ::makes his way about the vessel, scanning for trace evidence::

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@ ::flips a couple of switches and moves one more chip, producing a medium sized spark::

Host CO_Starks says:
Self: Just around the corner eh?

XO_Chalen says:
@CTO:  Trust your eyes and your instincts, Ensign.  I want a hard target search of this entire deck for possible hidden hostiles.

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@ XO: You ought to have something over there now Commander....

Host CO_Starks says:
*XO* Riggs we have a distress call, it not far but we lost contact

CTO_Gem says:
@ ::taps combadge:: *CO*: Gem to Captain Starks. There's no one down here. I'm returning to the Pharaoh.

Host CO_Starks says:
*CTO* roger that report to the bridge when you get back

XO_Chalen says:
@::taps badge::  *CO*:   Acknowledged, Pharaoh.   You gonna check it out?   We should be okay over here for now, plenty to do.

XO_Chalen says:
@CEO:   Roger that, console it up.   ::taps on the diagnostic test controls::

Host CO_Starks says:
*XO* can you and your team hold down the Iapetus while we go check it out?

Host CO_Starks says:
*XO* we can't afford to leave her adrift alone

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@ ::walks over to the master control table:: XO: I don't under stand... The lights should have come on... ::flips open his tricorder::

XO_Chalen says:
@*CO*:  Leave it to us, just try not to miss all the action while you’re away again.

CTO_Gem says:
@ *CO*: Understood. ::taps combadge again:: *Transporter Operator*: Gem to Transporter Room. One to beam up. ::waits for his response:: Energize.

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@ ::does a scan of the power systems::

Host CO_Starks says:
*XO* We'll be back as soon as possible, Starks out

CMO_Releben says:
@ ::overhears the comm::  XO: Sir, perhaps they can leave a shuttle behind, on autopilot?

XO_Chalen says:
@CMO:  Nervous, Dr.?

CMO_Releben says:
@ XO: Not particularly, I was thinking in case we need to bail them out.....  ::grins as only as old man can do::

XO_Chalen says:
@CEO:  Check the EPS manifolds, maybe they've been blown out.  Whatever knocked main power offline could have messed up a lot of subsystems.

Host CO_Starks says:
FCO: Helm course 250 mark 30 warp 6 engage

XO_Chalen says:
@CMO:  Officer thinking, but let's give the Commander the benefit of the doubt...... this time.

FCO_Tim says:
CO: Aye sir, Warp 6 ::sets course and speed and engages::

CTO_Gem says:
::exits transporter room and heads to the bridge::

CMO_Releben says:
@ XO: Very well....  where to next sir?

CMO_Releben says:
@ ::thinks sickbay may be a decent place to start::

XO_Chalen says:
@CMO:  Start checking these uniforms lying around for ANY and ALL bio matter residue.   Take air samples for any toxins you may find.   I want a go-no go on safe breathing air.  The faster we can take these helmets off, the better.

FCO_Tim says:
CO: ETA 5 Minutes 

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@ XO: Aye.... I'll be in the IPD closet... ::walks to the back of the engine room again and enters a small opening leading to a power distribution control center::

Host CO_Starks says:
:: nods to the FCO ::

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@ ::crawls in to the space that is even more cramped because of the EVA suit::

XO_Chalen says:
@*CTO*:  Ensign Gem, keep an open comlink while your on patrol...... just in case.

CTO_Gem says:
::enters the bridge and sits at tactical station::

CMO_Releben says:
@ XO: Cmdr, I am afraid scans have revealed nothing.  I ran them again to be sure, but there is nothing on the ship representing anything that ever was  biological....  I shall continue on the atmosphere and toxins, but so far.... nothing....

Host CO_Starks says:
CTO: open hailing frequencies and begin transmitting that we are responding to the distress signal

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@ ::continues scans and visually checks some of the EPS and ODN connections on the control board::

XO_Chalen says:
@CMO:  Also Dr, interface your tricorder with the medical database.   Use your Chief Medical Officer override codes to access the most resent entries from their CMO.   Maybe they had time to record something the ship's log missed.

FCO_Tim says:
CO: Approaching coordinates sir 

CMO_Releben says:
@ XO: Will do Cmdr.   Permission to head to sickbay?

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: Ship's sensors show a Ferengi ship on sensors

CTO_Gem says:
::nods:: CO: Aye sir. ::opens hailing frequencies and begins transmitting, "We are responding to the distress signal." ::

XO_Chalen says:
@CMO:  Go, but keep an open comlink. 

Host CO_Starks says:
FCO: take us to impulse

Host CO_Starks says:
CTO: Life signs?

XO_Chalen says:
@*CEO*  How's it look up there, Eli?

FCO_Tim says:
CO: Aye sir ::drops to impulse::

Host Gilles says:
<ACTION: Ship's sensors show a Ferengi ship on LRS>

CMO_Releben says:
@ XO: Aye sir.  ::slaps an open comm and head for sickbay::

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@ ::taps com badge:: *XO* Irvin to Riggs. I don't know what's going on down here. According to scans, everything should be functioning. I don't see any real damage that would prevent the ship from powering up. It might help to have the Pharaoh scan for a power dampening field.

CTO_Gem says:
::looks at console:: CO: At current distance, I am unable to determine life signs sir.

XO_Chalen says:
@CEO:  Acknowledged.   That's the first thing on our wish list for when they get back.   Can we use a portable power cell plugged directly into the master control panel to run a diagnostic?

Host CO_Starks says:
FCO: move us in closer helm

FCO_Tim says:
CO: Aye sir moving to 25,000 km 

XO_Chalen says:
@::checks phaser::   CEO:   Eli, my phaser and tricorder are working fine, so that would seem to rule out a damping field.  

XO_Chalen says:
@::kicks the main console to no avail::  SELF:  It was worth a try.....

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@ ::begins to physically reroute some of the power couplings by hand:: *XO* Maybe we could use a portable cell... It would be a limited diagnostic....

CMO_Releben says:
@ ::enters sickbay and heads for the CMO's office::  Self:  Now this is an office.... nice... roomy.... and quiet.....

XO_Chalen says:
@CEO:  It would be better then what we've got now.  Double time, Mr.

CTO_Gem says:
::keeps eyes on console, looking over sensor readings::

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: A cloud of unknown energy leaves Ferengi vessel and leaves at warp speed

Host CO_Starks says:
CTO: red alert

Host CO_Starks says:
CTO: full scan

CMO_Releben says:
@ ::continues scans of the atmosphere and sighs heavily at the results::  Self: Nothing....

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@ ::crawls backwards out of the cabinet to the master control consol:: XO: Aye... Gimme a minute. ::gets on hands and knees and takes the access panel off of the console at the base::

Host CO_Starks says:
FCO: back us off 50,000 Kilometers

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@ ::reaches for his tool kit that has the mobile power converter in it::

FCO_Tim says:
CO: aye sir. ::hits the reverse and backs us off to 50000 km::

CTO_Gem says:
CO: Captain... I'm reading an unknown energy reading. It's... something I've never seen before.

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@ ::connects the mobile power converter to the control console's power leads::

CMO_Releben says:
@ ::sits at desk and starts hunting for any clues on, in, under, etc. the desk::

XO_Chalen says:
@::sets his tricorder for heat readings to try to find anyone on board who may have masked their life signs to normal scans::

Host CO_Starks says:
:: goes to the CTO's station :: Self: is that what left just now?

CTO_Gem says:
::realized she said "reading" twice::

XO_Chalen says:
@*CMO* Status report, Doctor?

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@ ::gets up and watches the table light up, then takes a scan of the local subsystems:: Self: WHOA! What in blazes is this?

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@ ::taps out a couple of commands trying to fire up the engineering local sub processor to no avail::

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: Table light fades away

CMO_Releben says:
@ *XO*  Cmdr, I can detect no trace of an atmosphere, no trace of toxins or airborne entities, nor can I access any computer files.  The only information that appears to exist in what LtCmdr Brehgorn was able to recover....  Although, I do have a theory....

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@ ::watches as the table dims then finally goes out:: Self: Crap!

XO_Chalen says:
@*CMO*  Enlighten me, Dr.

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@ ::taps com:: *XO* Irvin to Riggs....

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@ ::looks down to see his power converter is completely discharged::

Host CO_Starks says:
CTO: any life signs or power signatures from the Ferengi?

XO_Chalen says:
#*CEO*:   Go ahead.

CMO_Releben says:
@ *XO*: Cmdr, have we been able to confirm the age of the Iapetus?  I am wondering if everything here is 'artificial' in nature.  There are simply too many unexplained incidents.....

CTO_Gem says:
::looks up at the captain, somewhat likes the rugged outdoors types::

CTO_Gem says:
CO: The Ferengi ship is dead in the water sir. No power... no life signs. ::blinks:: Just like...

XO_Chalen says:
@*CMO*:  Records show that the USS Iapetus was launched no more than a few years ago.  

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@ ::thinks to self:: Self: That's to weird... *XO* I was able to power the master console for about 15 seconds before my power converter discharged. BUT, I was able to detect an energy residue of some kind. I've not seen it before.

Host CO_Starks says:
:: turns to the FCO ::

CTO_Gem says:
::a bit worried now, they could very well be in danger::

Host CO_Starks says:
FCO: get us back to the Iapetus now, warp 8

CMO_Releben says:
@ *XO* I understand the history sir.  I was thinking of a physical sample of the hull.....  there just seems to be no evidence whatsoever....

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@ *XO* It was almost like... a bio-molecular energy of some kind, but I can't be sure.

XO_Chalen says:
@*CEO*:  Localized it?   Where was the source?   Kind of power?

Host CO_Starks says:
CTO: notify Starfleet about the Ferengi Vessel

FCO_Tim says:
CO: Aye sir ::sets course back to the lapetus and engages at warp 8::

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The Pharaoh detects the energy cloud heading towards the Iapetus and the singularity

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@ *XO* Not enough time to localize it before my power pack discharged, and tricorders can't pick it up

XO_Chalen says:
@*CEO*:  Then take a sample of a bulkhead with your phaser, full analysis.

Host CO_Starks says:
:: sees the cloud on sensors:: FCO: how fast is that thing traveling?

CMO_Releben says:
@ ::continues disassembling sickbay in a haphazard, but fashionable manner::

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@ ::snaps fingers:: Self: My Phaser..... *XO* Stand by... I have another idea....

XO_Chalen says:
@*CEO*  BIO energy?  Like from a life form?   If that's true, whatever it was may come back now that there's something new to feed on in the ship!

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The Cloud is at Warp 8

CTO_Gem says:
::contacts Starfleet about the Ferengi vessel, before seeing her reflection in the console and being hypnotized::

Host CO_Starks says:
FCO: increase speed to warp 9.8

Host CO_Starks says:
FCO: everything you got

FCO_Tim says:
CO: aye sir 

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@ ::opens phaser and takes out the focus crystal::

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The Pharaoh gains on the cloud.

XO_Chalen says:
*CMO*:  Doctor, get your sample and report to Main Engineering Double time!   This is the most reinforced area of the ship, I want you down here now!

Host CO_Starks says:
COM: *XO* Away Team this is Pharaoh prepare for a near warp beam out ASAP!

Host CO_Starks says:
:: walks up behind the FCO ::

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@ ::connects it to the power input of the power pack::

XO_Chalen says:
@*CEO*:  Get down here!

CMO_Releben says:
@ *XO* Aye sir.  also.... I don't know if this is anything.  But I have discovered a fish bowl, no fish, but it does contain ice, Cmdr.....

XO_Chalen says:
@COM:  Pharaoh:   Acknowledged, Pharaoh.  Standing by.   SELF:   I knew it......

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@ ::discharges the phaser::

Host CO_Starks says:
FCO: see how far ahead of that cloud you can get us, then I want you to drop out of warp just for an instant then punch it back to warp 9

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The Pharaoh passes next to the cloud... ETA to Iapetus 1.5 mins

CMO_Releben says:
@ ::removes a laser scalpel, finds an exposed bulkhead, and extracts a physical sample for later::

FCO_Tim says:
CO: Warp 9.1 9.2 9.3 9.4 9.5 9.6 9.7 9.79  warp 9.8 sir 

XO_Chalen says:
@CMO:  The clock is ticking, Doctor......

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@ ::watches as his phaser discharges into oblivion::

CMO_Releben says:
@ ::exits sickbay and makes way for the bridge::  *XO* Aye sir.... I am on my way.

CTO_Gem says:
::curious if they would have an effect if they shot the cloud::

Host CO_Starks says:
FCO: she can do 9.95 in a pinch Mr. see if you can pinch it

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@ ::jogs over to one of the bulkheads and takes a sample with his laser cutter::

Host CO_Starks says:
CTO: main viewer to aft

FCO_Tim says:
CO: Aye sir 

CTO_Gem says:
::sets main viewer to aft:: CO: Aft sir.

Host CO_Starks says:
:: looks at cloud ::

XO_Chalen says:
@::sees the CEO's phaser discharge::   CEO:  Whatever ate the power here might have a sort of residual field still feeding on whatever power it finds......

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The Pharaoh overtakes the Cloud... Pharaoh is 30 secs to the Iapetus... the Cloud... 45 secs

Host CO_Starks says:
CTO: Aft torpedoes......

CMO_Releben says:
@ ::clambers through the Jeffries Tubes, inching closer to Engineering::

XO_Chalen says:
@ALL:  Prepare for transport!

Host CO_Starks says:
CTO: shields up launch a quantum torpedo and set it detonate on front of that cloud

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@ ::walks back over close to the XO placing the bulkhead sample into a container, then picks up his tool kit off the floor:: XO: Ready.

CTO_Gem says:
::raises shields and prepares the quantum torpedoes for detonation in front of the cloud::

CMO_Releben says:
@ ::arrives at the upper section of engineering and spies the others waiting::

Host CO_Starks says:
CTO: fire

FCO_Tim says:
CO: Warp 9.91  9.92  9.93 9.94 9.945 ::feels the ship start to rock from stresses:: warp 9.95 sir 

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@ XO_Chalen: What's going on?

CTO_Gem says:
::fires:: CO: Firing sir.

Host CO_Starks says:
FCO: ready for near warp transport....

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The torpedoes detonates and the Cloud slows to warp 7 and absorbs the energy

CMO_Releben says:
@ XO: Sir, I have a sample from a sickbay bulkhead.  Why the rush to vacate?

Host CO_Starks says:
ALL: we slowed it but probably feed it too

XO_Chalen says:
@CEO:  Near warp transport.  Pharaoh is in a hurry, I think it's out power eating friend.....

FCO_Tim says:
CO: Aye sir 

XO_Chalen says:
@CMO:  My guess?  A hostile.  But that's what I always think.  Pharaoh should be almost here to beam us out.

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@ XO: Oh... It's a 'friend' now? ::shudders:: Must be a big sucker....

FCO_Tim says:
::sits there with his  finger on the button waiting for the order::

CMO_Releben says:
@  XO: We are just the scourge of the sector it appears....  ::grins the old man grin once more::

Host CO_Starks says:
FCO: drop to impulse

Host CO_Starks says:
CTO: beam them over!

CTO_Gem says:
::runs fingers on panel... transporting the crew::

Host CO_Starks says:
FCO: Warp 9 engage!

XO_Chalen says:
::rematerializes with the away team in the TR::

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::transports back to ship::

FCO_Tim says:
::drops to impulse and transport the at on board and jumps back to warp 9::

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::flips open the seal on the EVA Helmet::

XO_Chalen says:
::feels dizzy from the near warp transport.   Almost like a little bit of him was being dragged along at warp nine::

CTO_Gem says:
::looks at the console:: CO: They're all here sir.

Host CO_Starks says:
*ALL* all crew reports to stations

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The Away Team arrives a little disoriented on the PAD but all pieces are intact

CMO_Releben says:
::feels the familiar tingle of the transporters and is happy to shed his EVA suit for something baggier::

XO_Chalen says:
::taps badge::  *CO*:  Chalen to bridge, we made it.

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::removes helmet and walks off the pad dropping his tool kit to the ground::

XO_Chalen says:
::heads to the bridge, taking off his helmet::

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The Cloud is on a direct course for the singularity

CMO_Releben says:
::makes for the bridge as he has been spending too much time in sickbay recently::

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::seeing the red alert tracers, he picks his tool kit and jogs out headed to Engineering::

Host CO_Starks says:
CTO: Launch a probe back into that cloud

XO_Chalen says:
::enters the bridge still in the EVA suit minus helmet and sits at the OPS console::

Host CO_Starks says:
FCO: bring us back around but far off it's path to the singularity

FCO_Tim says:
CO: Aye sir ::changes course::

XO_Chalen says:
::tries to take a more detailed scan of the cloud::

Host CO_Starks says:
XO: a ferengi ship was engulfed in that when we got to her and then...puff....no crew no power.

Host CO_Starks says:
XO: the cloud made a B line back your way and we just got ahead of it

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::jogs into Engineering, slides down the ladder into lower engineering, shucks the eva suit down to his duty pants and tee shirt, then taps the intercom:: CO: Bridge, this is Engineering. What's going on?

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: Ship sensors detects humanoid bio-signatures... LOTS of bio-signatures in the cloud.

XO_Chalen says:
CO:  Mr. Irvin detected traces of a bioelectrical field on the other ship, it seems to match with our nebulous friend there.....

Host CO_Starks says:
*CO* you'll know as soon as we do Mr. Irvin

CMO_Releben says:
::sits at a console near the rear and logs on::

XO_Chalen says:
SELF:  My god......  ::sees the readouts from the scan::

CTO_Gem says:
::looks at the readings from the probe::

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::walks over to the master control console and punches up the main viewer and scanners, waving his crew along as he makes his way over:: ALL:: GO GO GO......

XO_Chalen says:
CO:  Sir, there are humanoid signatures INSIDE that thing!

Host CO_Starks says:
ALL:  ::looks at sensor read out:: bio signatures?

Host CO_Starks says:
FCO: get behind it to transporter range now!

XO_Chalen says:
CO:  HUNDREDS of them sir!

Host CO_Starks says:
XO: can you lock on the transporters to those signatures?

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::looks at the picture on the screen on the master control console, and notices the bio- signatures on the scanners::

FCO_Tim says:
CO: Aye sir ::moves to within transporter range::

Host CO_Starks says:
CTO: lower shields

XO_Chalen says:
CO:  Trying sir, they seem to be out of sync..... almost like a transporter effect of matter to energy, but they still read as humanoid.......

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
*CO* You're not actually thinking of beaming that on here are you?

CMO_Releben says:
::runs a redundant scan of the cloud to confirm the findings::  CO: Skipper, I concur with the findings....

Host CO_Starks says:
Self: now I wish I was on a Galaxy with 14 Transporters available

Host CO_Starks says:
*CEO* get me a level 9 force field around transporter room 2

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The Cloud disappears inside the event horizon of the Singularity

XO_Chalen says:
CO:  Negative on transporter... too many... there are THOUSANDS, NO, TENS of THOUSANDS...... and they are all cobbled together

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
*CO* Aye. Let me get to the transporter room before you blow every transporter relay on the ship....

CMO_Releben says:
XO: Sir, perhaps the shuttle transporters could be used in conjunction with main transporters?

Host CO_Starks says:
FCO: full stop

XO_Chalen says:
CO:  it's gone sir.

Host CO_Starks says:

FCO_Tim says:
CO: Aye full stop ::taps some buttons:: Instruments reading all stop sir

CMO_Releben says:
::whispers::  Self: Tens of thousands?

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::stops in tracks:: *CO* Aye... I'm heading to the bridge. ::yells down:: Zimmerman: Frank, there is a bulkhead sample in the tool kit there. Get started on it. ::exits::

Host CO_Starks says:
XO: the Iapetus was detected here over a day ago and just now that thing went out after another ship....it'll be back

XO_Chalen says:
CO:  Scanning singularity now.....

XO_Chalen says:
CO:  From what we can gather, it eats energy, including bio energy.  If it does come back, we'll be on the menu.

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::enters the bridge in his uniform pants and blue tee-shirt:: CO: What's going on James? ::walks over to the engineering station::

CTO_Gem says:
::looking over sensors from her console::

Host CO_Starks says:

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::fires up the station.... watches as it lights up with some of Zimmerman’s reading on the bulkhead sample::

XO_Chalen says:
::looks at the CO with a cold intensity:   CO:   Aye sir.

CMO_Releben says:
CO: Sir

Host CO_Starks says:
CEO: Eli full scan try to find a way we could collapse that singularity on itself, you don't have long

CMO_Releben says:
::continuing::  CO: ..bio-neural packs perhaps?  Lots of them?

Host CO_Starks says:
XO: A torpedo detonation slowed that thing form warp 8 to 7

Host CO_Starks says:
CMO: run some simulations and test that theory and if need be get engineering to dump all extra pack they have

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::staring a the scan coming in from the bulkhead sample:: CO: Aye. I think I can get something together for that, but..... James.. Come look at this....

XO_Chalen says:
CO:  Understood sir.   I'll have something......... bigger waiting for when that thing sticks its head out again.........  ::walks out of the bridge to ordinance control::

Host CO_Starks says:
:: goes to CEO's station ::

Host CO_Starks says:
CEO: what have you got?

CMO_Releben says:
CO: And if we can find a way to give the singularity a 'laxative' it may start releasing some of the energy signatures.....

Host CO_Starks says:
CMO: any idea is a good one at this point Doc

CTO_Gem says:
::listening in::

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::points:: CO: There is a small bio signature in that hull plating. Visible for an instant... You don't think that we can do something with that thing at this point do ya?

XO_Chalen says:
CTO:  You’re with me, Ensign.   ::continues out to Ordinance control::

Host CO_Starks says:
CEO: run some scan and any simulations you need we'll only get one shot at this

CMO_Releben says:
::nods to the CO and starts thinking of a way to 'induce vomiting' in the cloud::

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
@ CO_Starks: Oh... And on collapsing the singularity, we have just enough power to close it the thing if we detonate the warp core inside it.

CTO_Gem says:
::walks with the XO::
