SD 10209.12

The USS Pharaoh remains in the area of the destruction of the USS Inaieu and the USS Kodiac remains nowhere to be found. Sensors have finally begun to identify the phenomenon. Some form of graviton waves originated in space and bathed the planet in the Neutral Zone and continued on towards the Inaieu and Pharaoh.

The crew of the Pharaoh suffered some injuries and the death of Captain Walsh of the Inaieu. The investigation continues...

FCO_Khrex says:
::sitting at helm::
CMO_Releben says:
::in sickbay, working on yet another   autopsy::
CO_Starks says:
FCO_Khrex: ETA to the remains of the destroyed planetoid?
OPS_Verdi says:
::transmitting a hail to the Kodiac on all frequencies::
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::Sitting at the Tactical display, she looks at the sensors scans and looks around at the assembled bridge crew. Her thoughts drift back to the Galaxy class vessel, and then only seconds later she returns to her display::
CSO_Brehgorn says:
::at Science, monitoring sensors::
CO_Starks says:
:: stands from command chair and walk up beside the Helm :
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: 30 minutes, sir.
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: Give or take some spatial turbulence.
OPS_Verdi says:
CSO:  Do we have any idea of the Kodiac's course?
CO_Starks says:
:: turns to SCI ::  CSO: What have you got on that graviton wave?

ACTION: A lone escape pod is detected in the debris of the USS Inaieu.... somehow it survived the gravitational stress and the Pharaoh's weapons

CMO_Releben says:
::not pleased with the findings, but knows the <censored> will want an explanation::
CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Sir, I have an escape pod on sensors.

CO_Starks says:
CSO_Brehgorn: federation?
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
XO: Commander Riggs, I am detecting a lone escape pod on sensors. The transponder seems to identify it as a pod from the U.S.S. Ianieu...sir...
CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Confirmed, sir.  It's a pod from the Inaieu.
CO_Starks says:
FCO_Khrex: come about, intercept course
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: Aye sir.
CO_Starks says:
OPS_Verdi: ready transporters
OPS_Verdi says:
CSO:  Are there life signs?
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: Entering new heading, bearing 182 mark 13.
CO_Starks says:
OPS_Verdi: and hail them
CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: And in answer to your first question, the graviton wave has dissipated to non-threatening frequency.
CTO_Gem says:
::at her station, the tactical console, looking over weapon systems and shields::
OPS_Verdi says:
::awaits an answer to her question::
CO_Starks says:
CSO_Brehgorn: that'll be more comforting when I know what caused it
OPS_Verdi says:
::meanwhile hails the pod::
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She begins to use the Tactical sensors to run scans of the pod and look at the readouts. It appears to be dumped around, however no worse for wear...::
LtJG_Trihs says:
@::opens his eyes looking around gathering his thoughts::
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: We will intercept the pod in 2 minutes.
CSO_Brehgorn says:
::analyzes sensor data in an attempt to discover the origin of the graviton waves::
CTO_Gem says:
::eyes can't help but change focus to her reflection, she's hot::
OPS_Verdi says:
::sighs and continues trying to hail the pod::
Cmdr_Horn says:
@::Open eyes to see sparkling panels in the pod::
OPS_Verdi says:
All:  Does anyone read any lifesigns in the pod?
OPS_Verdi says:
::hails the escape pod again::
CO_Starks says:
:: looks to CIV for answer to OPS question ::
Cmdr_Horn says:
@::Goes over to the Comm panel to find it shorted out:: Self: Darn it
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
OPS: I am currently running scans, Commander...it appears that there are two life-forms aboard, sensors appear to confirm humanoids...however I am cross checking...
Cmdr_Horn says:
@::Looks around to see the other occupant::
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: We've reached the escape pod. Going to all stop.
LtJG_Trihs says:
@::gets up and walks up to the flight control panel and tries to activate it:: Self: Great..
CO_Starks says:
CTO_Gem: drop shields for transport
CO_Starks says:
OPS_Verdi: beam them to sickbay
CO_Starks says:
*CMO* incoming survivors
Cmdr_Horn says:
@::Moves over to the other person::
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
OPS: The communications systems are in working order...they are picking up our hails...that much is for sure...if they're conscious...
OPS_Verdi says:
COM: Pod:  The is the Pharaoh.  Prepare for beam out.
CTO_Gem says:
::nods to CO:: CO: Aye sir. ::drops shields::
LtJG_Trihs says:
@::hears the com:: Self: Oh great, I hate transporters.
OPS_Verdi says:
::transports the two directly to sickbay::
Cmdr_Horn says:
@Trihs: That or being dead

ACTION: Both occupants arrive in sickbay via transporter

OPS_Verdi says:
*CMO*:  Two rescuees from an escape pod incoming.
CMO_Releben says:
::overhears the COMM::  *CO* Aye sir.  I'm receiving them now.
LtJG_Trihs says:
::materializes in Sickbay::
CO_Starks says:
CTO_Gem: shields up
XO_Chalen says:
::walks onto the bridge::
Cmdr_Horn says:
::materializes in sickbay::
CMO_Releben says:
*OPS* Aye Cmdr.  They have transported successfully.
CO_Starks says:
FCO_Khrex: resume previous course
CTO_Gem says:
::raises shields::
CTO_Gem says:
CO: Shields up sir.
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: Aye captain.
OPS_Verdi says:
::resumes trying to contact the Kodiac::
XO_Chalen says:
CO:  Survivors?
CMO_Releben says:
::scans the worse of the two and sends Dr. Dolittlemore over to scan the other::
LtJG_Trihs says:
Self: Well sickbay...what a great place to be.
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: Resuming previous course.
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She looks over at the woman beside her and then down at her display, running continual scans of the area:: CTO: Ensign Gem, Lt. Commander Xia, pleased to meet you...::She continues to look at her sensors scans::
CO_Starks says:
XO_Chalen: get to sickbay, we've got 2 from the Ianieu
Cmdr_Horn says:
::looks around and grabs the first person she sees:: CMO: What ship is this
OPS_Verdi says:
CO:  I haven't been able to establish communications with the Kodiac, but I'll keep trying.

OPS_Verdi says:
::keeps trying::
CO_Starks says:
XO_Chalen: debrief them
XO_Chalen says:
CO:  Aye.
XO_Chalen says:
::heads out the starboard egress::
CO_Starks says:
OPS_Verdi: keep me posted
CMO_Releben says:
::scans Horn and sighs loudly:: Horn: The Pharaoh sir.... and I have good news and bad news....
OPS_Verdi says:
::nods::
CTO_Gem says:
::turns attention from reflection:: CIV: Pleased to meet you as well... Xia.
CO_Starks says:
CTO_Gem: run tactical scans for................possible remains of the Kodiak
Cmdr_Horn says:
::hearing the CMO smiles::
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: Bearing 178 mark 367.
XO_Chalen says:
::enters sick bay::
Cmdr_Horn says:
CMO: What is the bad news?
XO_Chalen says:
CMO:  Doctor, how are they?
LtJG_Trihs says:
::looks around::  Self: It looks like we are on a defiant <censored> by the looks of it. ::looks at the MO scanning him::
CTO_Gem says:
::blinks at the word Kodiak... and begins scanning::
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
CTO: I have been assigned to evaluate you, Ensign...and the Tactical systems of the U.S.S. Pharaoh...Starfleet has assigned me to this vessel temporarily, I shouldn't be in your hair for more then a few weeks at best...
CMO_Releben says:
Horn: Sir, the good news is you're going to die, the bad news is it won't be today....  ::smiles the Old Man smile::  Welcome aboard sir.
LtJG_Trihs says:
::looks around at the ship, curiously:: Self: Nice.. ::looks around more::

Cmdr_Horn says:
CMO: To be frank I am in no mood for humor and address me as Ma'am
CMO_Releben says:
XO: They appear fine Cmdr.  A little shaken up but they will be fine.
XO_Chalen says:
Horn:    Welcome aboard Cmdr.   I'm Lt. Cmdr. Chalen, first officer.
Cmdr_Horn says:
CMO: I had a rough day. But thank you anyway
LtJG_Trihs says:
::walks over to Horn::
CTO_Gem says:
CIV: Intriguing. I've not had anyone <censored> to observe me before... people usually just watch me for their own pleasure. ::smiles::
OPS_Verdi says:
::rolls her eyes::
XO_Chalen says:
Horn:  How much do you remember from the time your pod was launched, Cmdr.?
Cmdr_Horn says:
XO: So, you are the XO I heard so much of. Where is the CO. I need to see him
CTO_Gem says:
::is absolutely aware that she's hot::
XO_Chalen says:
Horn:   You'll see him soon.  First we need to know how much you know.
Cmdr_Horn says:
XO: Not much. Was knocked out right after launch
CMO_Releben says:
Horn: Understood ma'am.  You are cleared to leave sickbay.  I am sure the Cmdr will want to speak with you.  ::indicates Chalen::
Cmdr_Horn says:
::begins to get up::
XO_Chalen says:
Horn:     What do you remember from your ship before you launched your pod?
LtJG_Trihs says:
::feels like a piece of dirt not being talked to at all::
CTO_Gem says:
::looks over readings from scans::
CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Sir, my attempts at ascertaining the cause of the graviton waves has proven futile so far.  I can estimate the origin point, but not the cause.  To solve this conundrum, we may have to rely on SRS, and that means a trip inside the Neutral Zone.

Cmdr_Horn says:
XO: I was a passenger on that ship that got blown up. That is all
CO_Starks says:
CSO_Brehgorn: feed coordinates to the conn
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
CTO: Don't take it personally, Ensign...::She's not even looking at the Tactical officer, her eyes are fixated on the Tactical display before her:: I am just doing my duty...and will have as little contact and interference with you and your staff as possible...::She gives a friendly smile then returns to her scans::
XO_Chalen says:
Trihs:  Lt, do you remember anything from the accident?
Cmdr_Horn says:
::Straightens out her Prism uniform
CO_Starks says:
FCO_Khrex: lay in a course, warp 5
OPS_Verdi says:
CO:  Still no word from the Kodiac.
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: For the neutral zone, sir?
CMO_Releben says:
::moves over to Trihs and speak briefly with Dr. Doolittlemore::
CSO_Brehgorn says:
::relays coordinates to FCO::
LtJG_Trihs says:
XO: Nothing really sir.
CO_Starks says:
FCO_Khrex: do it
Cmdr_Horn says:
XO: I need to see the CO. Is he on the bridge?
CO_Starks says:
OPS_Verdi: cut subspace transponder
FCO_Khrex says:
::enters coordinates into helm::
XO_Chalen says:
Horn:   Yes, I'll take you to him.
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: Aye sir.
CMO_Releben says:
Trihs:  You appear to be physically fit.  A few minor bumps and bruises, but you'll feel fine in a day or two.
CO_Starks says:
*ENG* Engineering begin cutting EM signatures by at least 40%
CTO_Gem says:
::nods:: CIV: I'm hardly if ever taking things personally. I'm a great help to Starfleet. They deserve to see my work in action.
OPS_Verdi says:
CO:  What?  Are you trying to tell me to cut communication attempts?
XO_Chalen says:
Trihs:  You should come to, Lt.
Cmdr_Horn says:
XO: I know my way
LtJG_Trihs says:
::shrugs:: XO: Aye.
XO_Chalen says:
Horn:   I'll take you anyway.......   sir.
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: Changing heading, bearing 285 mark 0.
XO_Chalen says:
::starts to get annoyed at the persistent visitor in the strange uniform::
Cmdr_Horn says:
::Turns head and glares and the XO:: XO: Call me Ma'am or Commander when you address me. I am not a man
XO_Chalen says:
CMO:   Doctor, please get your report on their physical condition to the CO.
CTO_Gem says:
::adjusts her tight uniform and stares at the console::
CO_Starks says:
CO_Starks: from here on out only communicate on coded channels. I need you to reduce anything that will make us visible to border sensors
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
CTO: Your work is not under question, Ensign...it is the Tactics, and systems at work...::She smiles:: Don't flatter yourself...
CMO_Releben says:
XO: Aye Cmdr.  I am afraid there is very little to report at this time.  I will run my scans against the Federation Medical database.
XO_Chalen says:
Horn:   Starfleet protocol suggests that a command figure be called sir no matter what the gender.   But if that make you uncomfortable................   Ma'am.
Cmdr_Horn says:
::Turns back around and begins to head out::
OPS_Verdi says:
CO:  Understood.
Cmdr_Horn says:
XO: Thank you
XO_Chalen says:
::follows the Cmdr out and motions for the LtJG to follow::
OPS_Verdi says:
::makes the adjustments::
XO_Chalen says:
CMO:  Thank you Dr.   ::doors swish shut behind him::
LtJG_Trihs says:
::follows the XO not to happy with Horn::
CTO_Gem says:
::smiles:: CIV: I'm just being honest. Flattery would require some form of compliment or exaggeration.
Cmdr_Horn says:
::Makes her way to the bridge like it was yesterday::
CSO_Brehgorn says:
FCO: ETA to the Romulan Neutral Zone?
XO_Chalen says:
Trihs:   Were you a passenger too, Lt.?   Or were you crew on that ship?
FCO_Khrex says:
CSO: 15 minutes, sir. 
CO_Starks says:
CTO_Gem: anything on sensors?
LtJG_Trihs says:
XO: Crew sir. I really don't know who Cmdr Horn is.
CMO_Releben says:
::finishes comparing the scans against the database info and compiles his report::
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
CTO: Of course...::She goes back to her display and lets the Tactical officer spend more time admiring herself, then getting actual work done. After several minutes she downloads all her scans of the Neutral Zone into a PADD and steps up to the Commanding Officer:: CO: Captain, here's a summary of all the scans taken since the Ianieu destruction...
XO_Chalen says:
Trihs:   I see.    I'm sorry about what happened to your ship.
CTO_Gem says:
::turns to the Captain:: CO: I've yet to get anything on sensors, even after multiple attempts to get such information from the computer.
LtJG_Trihs says:
XO: Thank you sir. They were good people..I just wish they were here today.
CMO_Releben says:
::finishes tapping out his report and downloads it to a PADD::
XO_Chalen says:
Trihs:  We all do.    What area did you serve in on the ship?
CO_Starks says:
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia: thanks you ::takes report::
CO_Starks says:
CTO_Gem: keep an eye out
CTO_Gem says:
CO: Will do sir.
XO_Chalen says:
::enters deck one and heads for the bridge::
LtJG_Trihs says:
XO: Engineering sir. ::follows XO::
CMO_Releben says:
::stands and exits sickbay, leaving Dr. Doolittlemore in charge::
CTO_Gem says:
::keeps one eye on the console, and one eye... wherever out is::
XO_Chalen says:
Trihs:   Good, we could use some extra help in our Engine Room.   Once you've seen the Captain, report to Mr. Irvin in Main Engineering.
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She nods and returns to her console. As she sits down, she taps into the Tactical sensors, and begins to run several scans of the Neutral Zone:: OPS: Commander Verdi, I have a suggestion...if I may...
XO_Chalen says:
:;enters the bridge::
CMO_Releben says:
::makes his way to the mess to grab a coffee before heading to the bridge::
OPS_Verdi says:
::still trying to hail the Kodiac although doubts they ever will::
Cmdr_Horn says:
::exits turbo lift and steps onto the bridge::
LtJG_Trihs says:
::follows XO not really in the mood to work in engineering::
XO_Chalen says:
CO:   Sir, this is Cmdr. Horn and Lt. Trihs
CO_Starks says:
:: turns to the commander ::
OPS_Verdi says:
::hears the doors swish and looks over to see who is coming onto the bridge::
CO_Starks says:
Cmdr_Horn: Alex?
Cmdr_Horn says:
::Pans over the bridge and smiles when she sees the CO::
CMO_Releben says:
::enters the mess hall and grabs a powdered donut as well, thinking fondly of his young friend::
OPS_Verdi says:
::turns her attention back to her console::
XO_Chalen says:
::confused by Starks' reaction::
Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Long time no see

Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: How have you been?
XO_Chalen says:
::things to himself::   ~Oh, great!   Figures that he'd be friends with someone like her..............~
LtJG_Trihs says:
::looks at the CO and Horn:: Horn/CO: I guess you two know each other.
CO_Starks says:
Cmdr_Horn: Alex I had no idea you were on that ship!  ::looks at pips and uniform::  A commander now, and in Special OPS it would seem. I guess that answers why I didn't know your posting
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She ignores the sound of incoming officers and continuing on with her duties, hoping that the Operations officer does not ignore her:: OPS: Commander...
CTO_Gem says:
::blinks at the readings while still uncertain of why that Xia individual was crowding her precious work area::
Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Actually I was in transit when this little mishap happened

ACTION: Sensors have detected a possible source for the graviton emissions

XO_Chalen says:
HORN:   Little Mishap?
CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Sir, I have something...
CMO_Releben says:
::exits the mess, donut and coffee in hand, with his PADD tucked under an arm::
XO_Chalen says:
Horn:   Is that what you special OPS types call it?
OPS_Verdi says:
::having recognized the Prism uniform wonders what is really going on::
CO_Starks says:
XO_Chalen: Alex here was the FCO of this ships in a former life ::grins at Horn ::
Cmdr_Horn says:
XO: I am alive, so it was a mishap
XO_Chalen says:
::narrows eyes at the Cmdr::
CO_Starks says:
::turns to CSO::

Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: And CTO
CO_Starks says:
CSO_Brehgorn: what have you got?
XO_Chalen says:
Horn:  I guess that's what really matters....
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: We will cross the border in 5 minutes.
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: Uh... you don't actually want me to cross the border right?
CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO:  Sir, I have pinpointed the exact source of the graviton waves.  We'll have to make a minor course adjustment.
XO_Chalen says:
Trihs:    Lt. do you feel ready to return to duty?   You've been through alot...
Cmdr_Horn says:
::over hearing:: CO: Border? What border?
CO_Starks says:
FCO_Khrex: proceed
CMO_Releben says:
::steps out onto the bridge, flakes of powdered donut dot his lips, and heads for the CO::
CO_Starks says:
CSO_Brehgorn: feed it to conn
LtJG_Trihs says:
XO: What ever you see fit sir.
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She sighs as she is apparently ignored and goes back to her sensor scans near the Tactical console...noting several discrepancies in the scans, she begins to focus on the results:: CO: I can confirm Cmdr Brehgorns readings, sir...
CSO_Brehgorn says:
::relays new coordinates to the FCO::
CO_Starks says:
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia: do it
OPS_Verdi says:
::hears the doors swish again and looks up to see the CMO covered in donut powder::
FCO_Khrex says:
::receives coordinates::
CO_Starks says:
LtJG_Trihs: and you Lt. feel up to duty?
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: Entering new heading. Bearing 15 mark 9.
CTO_Gem says:
::smiles:: CIV: Welcome Back.
XO_Chalen says:
Trihs:   Okay, our Engineer is not available right now, so I want you to take over in Engineering till he gets back.    if you have any questions, ask the CPO down there.   He'll be the giant Brikar.
CMO_Releben says:
::hands over the PADD::  CO: Skip, here are my findings.  I am afraid there is not much to report.  Of course, I imagine this report does not exist and they were never aboard, 'for the record.'
XO_Chalen says:
CO:   I want him to take over for Eli for now sir.
LtJG_Trihs says:
CO: Aye sir. ::looks at XO:: XO: Aye sir.
CO_Starks says:
:: nods to Trihs and XO ::
Cmdr_Horn says:
::raises an eye brow at the "skip" remark::
CO_Starks says:
CMO_Releben: you are correct, thanks Doc
CMO_Releben says:
::looks around the bridge and spies new faces at FCO and OPS::  Self: Sheesh, I need to get out of sickbay more often....
OPS_Verdi says:
::wonders what skullduggery is at work::
CMO_Releben says:
CO: Aye Skip.  Consider it done.... or not done... however, the expression fits best.
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::After confirming the location, she runs more details scans. Once she locates the section of space that they have set course for, she begins running full Tactical scans of the region::
XO_Chalen says:
Trihs:  On your way then.   Deck two center corridor.   Comm me when you get down there and stand by for orders.    We don't know what's going to happen next.
LtJG_Trihs says:
XO: Aye, sir. ::walks into the TL and directs it to Engineering::
CO_Starks says:
Hormn: the shockwave that tried to do us in came from Romulan space, but I'm sure you don't know anything about that
CTO_Gem says:
::can't help but notice a  small smudge on the console, frowns::
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: Uh.. Sir? Isn't crossing the border a violation of the Treaty of Algeron?
Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Unfortunately, where I was and where I am going is classified
CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO:  Sir, I have reason to believe that the waves may have emanated from Romulan Quantum Singularity drive experiments.
CO_Starks says:
FCO_Khrex: wrong treaty, and yes
OPS_Verdi says:
::suspects that with Prism involved Treaty of Algeron be damned::
XO_Chalen says:
FCO:  It's called Unusual Breadth of discretion.   Learn to live it
CO_Starks says:
CSO_Brehgorn: from a shipyard?
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
CO: Commander Starks...::She looks up from her scans with a sort of shocked expression on her face:: I've got...::She pauses as the CSO gives in the same readings::
FCO_Khrex says:
XO: I've got a lot to learn. They don't teach this at the academy.
CMO_Releben says:
::would intro himself to the new faces, but sees that they are terribly busy and figures it can wait, so heads back to the mess for another donut::
LtJG_Trihs says:
::he starts to walk to Engineering..he follows the XO's directions and gets there:: *XO* I have found my way to ME sir.
OPS_Verdi says:
::overhears the FCO and smiles::
XO_Chalen says:
FCO:   The academy is just practice.    Welcome to the real game.
CTO_Gem says:
::looks over the shields::
CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Most probably not.  These tests may have been performed this deep in the neutral zone because they were dangerous.
OPS_Verdi says:
::looks up and watches the CMO walk away::
OPS_Verdi says:
Thinks to self:  Not bad......
XO_Chalen says:
*Trihs*:    Good.   Stand by for now and keep on eye on warp power levels.
Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: No chance of letting me of the nearest Federation planet, is there?
CO_Starks says:
CSO_Brehgorn: SO a lone vessel blew itself up out here doing test?
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
CO: It appears that they are the source of damage...and quite possibly the origin of the shockwave that we experienced...
LtJG_Trihs says:
*XO* Aye. ::walks to the main console and looks over systems::
CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Perhaps more than one...the residue readings are indeterminate.
CO_Starks says:
Cmdr_Horn: sure, but you won't find any federation planets on our course, take a seat Alex ::points to Aux station::
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: We are now crossing the border. ETA to the coordinates in 5 minutes.
CTO_Gem says:
::hasn't mentioned it lately, but she's pretty::
XO_Chalen says:
Horn:   Someone like you probably feels more at home outside Federation space, Eh?
Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: In for a penny, in for a pound then. ::takes seat::
CMO_Releben says:
::enters the mess and heads for the replicator::  CPU: Dozen donuts, and mix it up this time.
Cmdr_Horn says:
XO: Not really. I have family waiting for me back home
OPS_Verdi says:
::has an idle thought completely out of the blue that pretty is both superficial and fleeting::
OPS_Verdi says:
::wonders briefly where that thought came from, then lets it go::
XO_Chalen says:
Horn:   Really?  I heard you special OPS types work outside of the borders alot................... and outside of the laws.     ::narrows eyes again::
CTO_Gem says:
::looks at the FCO, uncertain if she's seen him before... but he does look familiar:: Self: Note to self. Talk to flight control officer... and look pretty while doing it.

ACTION: The Pharaoh arrives at the coordinates.

CO_Starks says:
Cmdr_Horn: Commander..Have you ever heard of a Romulan Drive system that even after an overload could destroy a planet?
Cmdr_Horn says:
XO: That is what I heard too
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
CO: It could be one singular vessel, or multiple...attempting to determined now...::She begins scans:: CSO: We should be able to calculate the intensity of the singularity...
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: We've arrived.
CMO_Releben says:
::grabs a fresh pot of coffee as well and makes his way back to sickbay::
CTO_Gem says:
::curious if she's being vain, then realizes she can't be vain if she's totally aware of it::
Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: No sir. Not unless it was designed to do that
XO_Chalen says:
CO:   Sir, the Romulan's artificial quantum singularity isn't nearly large or powerful enough to have cause that shockwave.
CSO_Brehgorn says:
::nods at the CIV::
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
XO: Sir...I must disagree...if modified...it could be...
CO_Starks says:
ALL: All I know is that the Romulans probably will be looking for whatever blew up out here when it doesn't report in
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: So far so good... I haven't fallen out of my seat yet.
CO_Starks says:
XO_Chalen: Riggs, ...Battle Stations
XO_Chalen says:
CIV:  VERY modified...............
XO_Chalen says:
CO:   Aye
OPS_Verdi says:
::thinks running away right now might be a good idea::
XO_Chalen says:
ALL:     Shields up!   RED ALERT!
CTO_Gem says:
::still isn't used to hearing "Romulan" and "blew up"::
AEO_LtJG_Trihs says:
::looks over engineering scans::
CTO_Gem says:
::goes into red alert::
CMO_Releben says:
::oddly, gets lost heading to sickbay::  Self:  Where did it go?  ::turns around and heads back the way he came::

XO_Chalen says:
CTO:   Arm Quantum Torpedoes, charge phaser banks.
CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: From these residual readings, this was no normal Romulan propulsion system.  It may have been the prototype for a new system.
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She looks down at her scans and then back to the Executive Officer:: XO: The Romulan drive system works off of a contained Quantum Singularity, if the singularity was altered somehow, any instability could cause a subspace shockwave...or a wave similar to what we saw hit the Ianieu...
CO_Starks says:
CSO_Brehgorn: Any remains? Go sub atomic if you have to
CTO_Gem says:
XO: Sir. All weapons automatically charge when I initiate red alert.
Cmdr_Horn says:
::hears the klaxon and feel the Nostalgia of the situation::
XO_Chalen says:
*EO*:   Engine room, Bridge.    Bring main energizer to battle readiness, full power to shields and weapons.
CSO_Brehgorn says:
::reads scans::  CO: No remains sir...not in terms of matter.
Cmdr_Horn says:
::hears the XO and is impressed with her speed of dispensing orders::
CO_Starks says:
CTO_Gem: continual tactical scans your my only early warning Jennifer
AEO_LtJG_Trihs says:
*XO* Aye sir. ::brings main energizer on battle readiness, and activates power full to shields and weapons::
XO_Chalen says:
CTO:   Excellent, but I never trust the automation.   In the future always be ready to go manual.
CTO_Gem says:
::smiles as all weapons are charged and armed:: CO: Don't worry sir. This third eye won't let you down.
CO_Starks says:
CSO_Brehgorn: there has to be something, is there even remain of an ion trail to see where this "ship" came from?
Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: care to tell me what is going on?
AEO_LtJG_Trihs says:
*XO* All activated sir.
XO_Chalen says:
CIV:  That's true, but that shockwave was HUGE!    The ship would have to be radical different from the Romulan design that we know in order to produce it.
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
CO: Sir...I may have something for you...it appears that there may be a masked ion trail...
CO_Starks says:
Cmdr_Horn: You really don't know do you?
XO_Chalen says:
*EO*   Very good
CO_Starks says:
CSO_Brehgorn: confirm that
CTO_Gem says:
::just realizes he called her Jennifer... blinks, smiles... focuses on console::
CO_Starks says:
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia: location?
CMO_Releben says:
*OPS*  Cmdr, I seem to have lost my way..... Can you beam me to sickbay, please?
Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: No I don't. I was in transit, heading back to my ship
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
CO: I am detecting the residual trails off two vessels...possibly three...::She begins to run scans and attempts to locate their origin:: CO: Checking...
CSO_Brehgorn says:
::analyzes sensors:: CO: Confirmed, sir
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: Should I lay in a pursuit course?
OPS_Verdi says:
*CMO*:  You're kidding, right?
CO_Starks says:
Cmdr_Horn: We were order to patrol the boarder because of a lot of missing Vulcan ships, All I was told is that the Romulans were suspected in the disappearances
XO_Chalen says:
CSO:   Lt. Cmdr.   Can you plot the projected course and time of departure from this area from the residue?
CO_Starks says:
Cmdr_Horn: Capt. Walsh was supposed to fill me in on the rest but he never got the chance to finish the briefing
CMO_Releben says:
*OPS* I wish I were Cmdr.  I seemed to have turned myself around somehow.....
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
CSO: If we use the deflector array, we may be able to charge the ion trail, make it more evident...and easier to track...
CTO_Gem says:
::curious if they're going to be shooting Romulans... isn't a fan::
AEO_LtJG_Trihs says:
::yells at the Engineering staff telling them to get their butts to work::
OPS_Verdi says:
*CMO*:  Are there no display panels on the wall down there?
Cmdr_Horn says:
CO:: Anything I can do to help?
OPS_Verdi says:
::is getting a bit concerned::
CO_Starks says:
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia: how deep into Romulan space do those trails lead?
CMO_Releben says:
*OPS* Uh, right Cmdr.... sorry to bother you.....
CSO_Brehgorn says:
CIV: Good plan, Xia.
CO_Starks says:
CO_Starks: but of course, I'll want to have a word with you in a bit
OPS_Verdi says:
::wonders if she should mention it to the CO... later of course, not now::
XO_Chalen says:
::whispers at Horn::    HORN:   you could sit down..............
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
CO: Unsure sir...however it's a good bet, that where ever they came from, it wouldn't be close...they came out this far for a reason...that much is for sure...
CMO_Releben says:
::looks up at the panel in front of him and realizes he doesn't want to set down his coffee or donuts, so just stands there::
CO_Starks says:
:: looks at XO ::
OPS_Verdi says:
*CMO*:  Not a bother.  Are you all right?
CSO_Brehgorn says:
XO: If we charge the ion trail with our deflectors, we can get a clearer map.
XO_Chalen says:
CSO:   Do it.
CO_Starks says:
XO_Chalen: feel like diving deep into Romulan Territory?
Cmdr_Horn says:
XO: No thanks I prefer to stand
XO_Chalen says:
::grins::    CO:   ALWAYS sir.
AEO_LtJG_Trihs says:
::hears a funny sound and walks over to where it is and kicks it..then it stops:: Self: Hard love..

CMO_Releben says:
*OPS*  Uh, yes, Cmdr.... just a little stir crazy from being cooped up in sickbay for the past few days....
CO_Starks says:
CSO_Brehgorn: charge the trail get a clear course to Conn
CSO_Brehgorn says:
::uses the deflector array to flood the ion path, and places the resulting map on the viewscreen.
CO_Starks says:
FCO_Khrex: lay in that course warp 7

ACTION: A Romulan Warbird de-cloaks in front of the Pharaoh and hails the Pharaoh.. it is the Red Talon commanded by Command TRieu

OPS_Verdi says:
*CMO*:  Understood.  ::wonders some more::
CSO_Brehgorn says:
FCO: ::Points to viewscreen:: There are your coordinates.
OPS_Verdi says:
CO:  Incoming hail from the Red Talon.
XO_Chalen says:
::freezes and sees the screen::
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: Uh... we've got company.
CMO_Releben says:
::remains standing in front of a blank panel, still holding his coffee and donuts::
CTO_Gem says:
::looks at the sensors:: CO: Captain... Romulan vessel.
CO_Starks says:
:: sits back in chair:: self: when you least expect her...I should have known
CSO_Brehgorn says:
::gulps::
CO_Starks says:
OPS_Verdi: on screen
Cmdr_Horn says:
::looks at the screen::
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
CO: Romulan Warbird decloaking...all systems are on alert status...::She notices how calm the Captain is::
OPS_Verdi says:
::puts the communication on screen::

XO_Chalen says:
CTO:  Prepare passive weapons lock!   Nothing they could detect.   NOW!
OPS_Verdi says:
CO:  Channel open.
AEO_LtJG_Trihs says:
;:feels like he is CEO like he was on his old ship::
Cmdr_Horn says:
::Follows the CO's example and sits in Aux Chair::
CTO_Gem says:
::curious what the heck are they talking about::
XO_Chalen says:
Horn:   Get comfy and stay out from underfoot.    When we're ready to do something illegal and or shady.............. we'll know where to find you.     ::walks back to the Tac console next to the CTO::
Cmdr_Horn says:
::Glares at the XO::
Cmdr_Horn says:
Self: She has no idea who she is insulting
FCO_Khrex says:
::wonders if he is disobeying orders::
Commander_TRhieu says:
@ ::nods at Starks:: COM: Pharaoh: CO: Commander... permission to come aboard ?
CTO_Gem says:
::can sense the frustration::
CO_Starks says:
Commander_TRhieu:Commander_TRhieu: but of course, anything to a Romulan who keeps her word.
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::Standing from the Auxiliary Tactical console, she stands up and walks behind the Commanding Officer and over to the Science display...leans in close to the teal uniformed Science officer and whispers into his ear:: CSO: Any luck tracing that ion trail Commander?
XO_Chalen says:
::glares at the CO and thinks::   ~ Here we go again
CO_Starks says:
CTO_Gem: ready to drop shields for transport then raise them...you know the drill
CTO_Gem says:
::nods to the CO:: CO: All too well.
CSO_Brehgorn says:
CIV: Yes, we have a sufficiently detailed map to plot the course of two vessels.

CMO_Releben says:
::reluctantly sets down his coffee and accesses the display panel::

ACTION: Commander TRhieu beams directly to the bridge of the Pharaoh as the shields come down

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::sees the Romulan Commander materialize on the bridge, and can't help but recall some of his recent dreams::
CO_Starks says:
Commander_TRhieu: welcome aboard, again
Commander_TRhieu says:
::nods in greeting to Commander Starks:: CO: Well met once again Commander
XO_Chalen says:
CTO:   Maintain passive weapons lock.     you know that drill too.
OPS_Verdi says:
::keeps her attention on her console::
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
CSO: Nice work Commander...::She smiles and then looks over her shoulder as the Romulan appears - almost from thin air:: CSO: Who is that...::She says quietly::...the Commander seems to recognize him...
AEO_LtJG_Trihs says:
::looks around wondering why he smells fish::
CTO_Gem says:
::nods to the XO:: XO: More than I do my own tan job.
Commander_TRhieu says:
CO: I need your assistance Commander.
XO_Chalen says:
::smiles at the CTO::
CMO_Releben says:
::as the panels comes to life, stares in disbelief and then looks around the corner::
CO_Starks says:
Commander_TRhieu: isn't that funny, and here I was going to be asking you for help
CTO_Gem says:
::has a very nice tan... and an excellent everything else, passive weapons locked::
CSO_Brehgorn says:
::whispers:: CIV: One Commander Thrieu...we've run into her before, and she seems at least a trustworthy figure..at least under situations where mutual interests are concerned.

CMO_Releben says:
Self: Oh.... there it is....  ::picks up his coffee and walks the 2 meters into sickbay::
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She glances back at the female Romulan with intrigue:: CSO: Interesting...I'll be sure to keep an eye on her...::She smiles and pats the Commander on the shoulder before returning to her post:: Nice work, again...
Commander_TRhieu says:
::smiles evilly:: CO: I was thinking of capturing the Pharaoh... ::smiles even more:: Would you mind ?
