Host Captain_Turner says:
::Nods at the FCO:: SO: Status, Lt. Lorenzo?

CIV_Walker says:
::In TL en route for the bridge, having looked around Main Engineering for 'master Q`tor’::

CIV_Walker says:
::Frowns as the TL stops at Deck 2, figures someone wants onboard::

OPS_Mayfair says:
::the doors of the TL open and she walks in::

FCO_Ranahi says:
::continues to monitor sensors::

OPS_Mayfair says:
Walker: Hello.

CIV_Walker says:
::Gulps to see Mayfair, kinda intimidated of here:: OPS: C-Commander...

XO_Gleisen says:
::turns to Turner:: CO: When are we meeting with Captain Dako, sir?

OPS_Mayfair says:
::Smiles at the young man and wonders if someone will notice she is late::

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Waiting for the SO's reply:: XO: He should be here shortly, Number One.

XO_Gleisen says:
::nods and sits back, reading over a PADD in the arm of his chair, getting up to speed::

CIV_Walker says:
::Kinda looks at Mayfair, waiting for the TL to resume, as it waits for her to state her destination::

SO_Lorenzo says:
CO: I'm still completing my examinations, sir. It's going to take a few minutes.

OPS_Mayfair says:
Walker:: Ops, sorry.
TL: Bridge

CEO_Q`tor says:
@COMM: QIb: Q'tor here, we should have minimal warp power back online within the hour.

OPS_Mayfair says:
Walker: Not quite myself today. ::blushes a little::

XO_Gleisen says:
COMM: CEO: Acknowledged. QIb out.

CIV_Walker says:
::thinks for a moment:: Ops: No problem...

SO_Lorenzo says:
::attempts to figure out what went wrong with the AI computer on the Argonaut, running system diagnostics from her station on the bridge::

Host Captain_Turner says:
SO: Understood Lt.

CIV_Walker says:
::Waits for Mayfair to step off the TL as the TL stops on the bridge::

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Turns to Commander Gleisen:: XO: Maybe we should wait in the Ready Room for him. ::Stands::

OPS_Mayfair says:
::enters the bridge an quietly goes to her station::

XO_Gleisen says:
::nods to the Captain and stands, following him:: OPS: You have the bridge Commander.

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Sees Mayfair enter the bridge but the XO beats him to the punch::

OPS_Mayfair says:
::eyes widen:: XO: aye sir

CEO_Q`tor says:
@::sets a damage control team to work to get the warp drive online and then begins analysing the AI systems::

CIV_Walker says:
::follows Mayfair onto the bridge, heading to aft, near engineering stations::

Host CO_Dako says:
::walks onto the bridge from the TL ::

CNS_Irane says:
::Enters the bridge, holding her hand behind her back as she steps... observing the status::

CIV_Walker says:
::feels at a loss again and takes a seat at the aft engineering stations, checking to see where Q`tor is on the internal sensors::

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Sees Dako enter the bridge as they prepare to enter the RR::

SO_Lorenzo says:
::still working on her evaluation of the Argonauts systems::

CNS_Irane says:
::Notices the CIV is at the other end of the bridge, and she sighs and begins walking to her chair::

CNS_Irane says:
::Sits down quietly and waits for some thing, not sure what::

Host CO_Dako says:
::walks up to the Captain ::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@CEO: So, what do you think?

CEO_Q`tor says:
@CSO: I am not sure. I am trying to make sense of it all.

CIV_Walker says:
::gets frustrated when the computer tells him Q`tor isn't onboard and stands up and walks over to Ops, standing there blankly for a moment::

Host CO_Dako says:
CO: Captain, any word of an estimated time of repairs?

XO_Gleisen says:
::turns to Dako:: CO-D: Warp power should be restored within the hour, sir.

Host Captain_Turner says:
Dako: Engineering’s on it now. There should be a report shortly.

CEO_Q`tor says:
@CSO: Physically it seems to be in perfect working order, so the problem must be in the programming.

CNS_Irane says:
::Looks up at the CIV and looks down again, picking up a PADD and writing some thing down::

Host CO_Dako says:
CO: Captain, I am glad to hear it, this has been a terrible day

CIV_Walker says:
::Leans over the Ops Console to talk to Mayfair:: Ops: Uhm... Can you tell me where Q`tor is?

Host Captain_Turner says:
Dako: No doubt. ::Grins::

CEO_Q`tor says:
@<EO_Chambers> CEO: Sir, we are ready to start up the warp drive on your orders.

OPS_Mayfair says:
::Is startle by Walker:: Walker: What?

CNS_Irane says:
::Looks up and the sound of the OPS, she smiles knowing some thing::

XO_Gleisen says:
::by the Captain and Dako, listening::

CIV_Walker says:
::frowns, looking at Mayfair:: Ops: Q`tor... ::Pauses:: ... can you tell me where he is?

Host CO_Dako says:
CO: Captain, I shall be glad to get this thing back to base and be done with it

CEO_Q`tor says:
@EO: Very well. COMM: QIb: Q'tor here, the Argo's warp power systems are ready to be re-started

OPS_Mayfair says:
Walker: Oh... give me a sec...

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@CEO: Let's keep the AI disconnected from the main systems for a while longer. Give it false input until we are sure about its readiness.

SO_Lorenzo says:
::monitoring the Argonaut, waiting for their CEO and CSO to restore power::

OPS_Mayfair says:
Walker: Cmdr Q'tor is in the Argonaut, but you... ::looks up at Walker and smiles:: ...apparently are in your quarters....

CIV_Walker says:
::looks away from Mayfair for a minute and down at the Ops Console, then looks at Mayfair again:: Ops: You.... you checking up on me? Wanted to know where I am? ::Grins a cheeky-boyish grin::

OPS_Mayfair says:
Walker: Care to explain?

CEO_Q`tor says:
@CSO: Agreed

OPS_Mayfair says:
::Smiles to Walker:: Walker: I bet there are some people that would be interested on this. ::winks::

CNS_Irane says:
::Looks up shocked on the last comment::

SO_Lorenzo says:
::begins to review the AI computer's programming, from records of the confrontation with the Romulan ships::

CIV_Walker says:
::Looks down at the Ops Console again:: Ops: What can I say? Sometimes I'd prefer not to be found. We all have secrets don't we?

CEO_Q`tor says:
@CSO: I have set up a separate power source for the AI unit using the ships batteries. That should be enough to keep it active, while keeping off of the main power systems.

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Motions to the open RR door:: CO: Lets discuss our "game plan" and see just where we are headed with this.

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@COMM: SO: Away Team to Lt. Lorenzo

Host CO_Dako says:
CO: Captain, Certainly. ::enters::

CNS_Irane says:
::Frowns at the sound of the word "secrets", she grabs her PADD and walks to the other side of the bridge, looking back as she walks::

SO_Lorenzo says:
COMM: CSO: I'm here Chief, What do you need?

OPS_Mayfair says:
Walker: Yes we do. But know this is not a secret is it? I bet certain annoying CTO will like to know about this huh?

CEO_Q`tor says:
@COMM: QIb: Q'tor here. We are ready to re-start the Argo's warp power systems. Orders?

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@CEO: I'll try and make it think that it is still in the battle sim with the tricorder.

OPS_Mayfair says:
Self: What to do? ::mocking tone::

XO_Gleisen says:
COMM: CEO: Stand by commander.

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@COMM: SO: Found anything wrong with the programming?

CEO_Q`tor says:
@COMM: XO: Understood

CNS_Irane says:
::Sits down at an empty chair, and glances at the OPS and the CIV from time to time::

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Enters the RR::

CIV_Walker says:
::Leans off the ops console a bit, looking a little shocked but trying to sweet-talk:: Ops: You um, you wouldn't let this... secret... out would you?

SO_Lorenzo says:
COMM: CSO: Its a highly complex program as would be expected. It learns from its experiences, perhaps the computer just needs some 'experience'?

CEO_Q`tor says:
@CSO: While your digging around in that thing, try to find out why it was able to detect our cloak, but not the Romulans.

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Walks over to his desk and sits down::

OPS_Mayfair says:
::Smiles sweetly:: Walker: Well I don't know. Why shouldn't I tell?

XO_Gleisen says:
::sits opposite the Captain, in the RR::

CNS_Irane says:
::Glances at the RR doors and sighs::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@COMM: SO: Check its perception matrix during the Romulan attack. What did the AI think that the Warbirds really were?

CIV_Walker says:
::Smiles back:: Ops: I don't know.... maybe there's something you'd like in exchange for your cooperation in keeping this... quiet?

Host CO_Dako says:
CO: Captain, they had a load of hopes for the new AI, It is not as capable as one might hope though, it just has the records of what has gone before, It can not synthes new tactics

OPS_Mayfair says:
::looks up to see if someone is looking at her::

CTO_Augustus says:
::reviewing the information that he has received from the analysis of the debris field::

SO_Lorenzo says:
::hears the CEO through the COMM system:: COMM: CEO & CSO : Perhaps its only been programmed to detect Federation and Klingon ships. I won't know its exact programming until its reactivated.

CNS_Irane says:
::Notices the OPS is looking around:: Self: I wonder what is going on

CEO_Q`tor says:
@CSO: I am going to Main Engineering for the warp system re-start...if we ever get the go ahead.

SO_Lorenzo says:
COMM: CSO: Aye Sir.

SO_Lorenzo says:
::beings to analyse the records of the Argonaut during the attack::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@CEO: ::nods::

OPS_Mayfair says:
Walker: Well I'll have to think about that. But the first thing you'll do is deactivate it ::smiles:: Then we will talk.

CEO_Q`tor says:
@::walks down the corridor to Main Engineering and walks in::

SO_Lorenzo says:
COMM: CSO: It categorised the ship type correctly. ::continues her analysis::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@::listens::

CNS_Irane says:
::Sighs loudly::

OPS_Mayfair says:
::Stands serious:: Walker: Understood, Mr Walker?

CEO_Q`tor says:
@::Looks around the carnage and sees the hull breach and the glimmers of static from the force-field::

Host Captain_Turner says:
Dako: So then you don't want to continue testing?

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@::works to restart the AI's voice interface::

CEO_Q`tor says:
@Self: Wow! Big hole!

CIV_Walker says:
::frowns and leans over the ops console to speak very quietly:: Ops: I'm not deactivating it... you obviously don't understand... there are time I need not to be found... especially by our wonderful captain and his scooby-gang security crew... are you sure there isn't anything I could get you?

Host CO_Dako says:
ACTION Partial pressure comes back to "normal in Main Engineering and sickbay and other areas

Host CO_Dako says:
CO: Captain, what I want is of little moment, I think, I have a load of letters to write to families and I think my ship needs repairs first

XO_Gleisen says:
CO's: Sirs, with all due respect, this is a very important experiment. At the very least, it should be allowed to return to the starbase on it's own, perhaps at only half power.

FCO_Ranahi says:
::notices the change in the Argo's systems:: OPS: Sir, I'm detecting pressure changes on the Argo. ::turns to face Mayfair:: Looks like the Away team were successful, sir.

OPS_Mayfair says:
Walker: Deactivate it. There is no more to it Mr Walker

OPS_Mayfair says:
::nods at The FCO::

Host CO_Dako says:
XO: Sir, if we can get the AI back up on-line... then she can mostly steer herself, she makes a great autopilot and eliminates the drudgework

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@AI: Activate primary command interface.

CIV_Walker says:
Ops: No.

Host Captain_Turner says:
CO: Understood then.

CTO_Augustus says:
::Gladius sits at his desk in Tactical, leaving the more important work to his subordinates::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@::makes more tweaks::

XO_Gleisen says:
CO: So allow it to fly itself back, and then leave it up to brass to decide what to do with it from there.

OPS_Mayfair says:
::Blinks:: Walker: Excuse me?!

Host CO_Dako says:
@<AI> All: Auto-Destruct Sequence Activated...Three minutes to override.

SO_Lorenzo says:
::attempts to analyse the AI thinking process::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@::sigh::

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO: Inform Starfleet of the test failure and have all available staff assigned to get the Argonaut back up and running.

XO_Gleisen says:
CO: Aye sir. ::gets up and heads back to the bridge::

CNS_Irane says:
::Looks back at the OPS, wondering what is going on::

CTO_Augustus says:
::reviews more data from his analysis and tries to work on the isolinear chips he has found and retrieved::

CEO_Q`tor says:
@::looks around startled as the auto destruct warning sounds::

CIV_Walker says:
::Shushes Ops:: Ops: I can get you anything.... almost.... anything! Please?! I beg you!

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@::keys in command override to AI to disable auto destruct::

CEO_Q`tor says:
@*CSO*: What did you do?

FCO_Ranahi says:
::sees the change on the Argo:: OPS: Sir, the Argo's just activated its Auto-Destruct…

SO_Lorenzo says:
COMM: CSO: Well now we know it’s definitely the programming that was damaged.

XO_Gleisen says:
::walks onto the bridge and looks over at OPS:: OPS: Get me the admiral in charge of testing the Argo.

Host CO_Dako says:
@<AI> CSO: Authorization code is now required

OPS_Mayfair says:
FCO: Great

OPS_Mayfair says:
*CO* Sir the Argo's self destruct has been activated, sir

Host Captain_Turner says:
Dako: You have the QIb's resources at your disposal. Inform Commander Gleisen, Lt. Commander Mayfair or myself if you have any requests.

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@*CEO*: The AI is not connected to the main systems! I don't understand?!

CTO_Augustus says:
*OPS*: This is LT Augustus, I need access to the lateral sensor array may I use it?

OPS_Mayfair says:
Walker: Not know

Host CO_Dako says:
::looks up overhearing:: CO: I have to get back...fast

XO_Gleisen says:
Self: Oh god...

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@COMM: Capt_Dako: Argo to Capt. Dako. Emergency. Please respond!!

CIV_Walker says:
::Frowns for a moment then stands up properly:: Ops: Well, you got your hands full now.... talk later?

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Hears Mayfair:: *OPS*: On my way. Have Captain Dako beamed back to the Argo now!

CEO_Q`tor says:
@*CSO*: Does it actually have a link to the ships auto destruct systems?

OPS_Mayfair says:
*CTO* We have a little emergency right now. Can I get back to you on that?

Host CO_Dako says:
::taps badge:: *CSO* Dako here

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@*CEO*: No. Everything is disconnected, even my tricorder’s emergency link to the central computer, it is entirely self-contained!

SO_Lorenzo says:
COMM: CEO: It’s controlling the communications systems. I don't know how much more Sir.

OPS_Mayfair says:
::beams Captain Dako back to Argo::

CTO_Augustus says:
*OPS*: Yeah whatever, I mean whenever, but it is important, and what is the emergency?

XO_Gleisen says:
FCO: Ranahi, set an escape course, in case we can't shut this down, warp 8.

Host CO_Dako says:
@::materializes in a hall not too far from the AI Unit ::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@:: sees Capt Dako materialize::

OPS_Mayfair says:
*CTO* The Argo is gonna blow up. Is that emergency enough?

FCO_Ranahi says:
XO: Aye, sir. ::starts to plot a course::

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Exits the RR and enters the bridge::

CEO_Q`tor says:
@*CSO* We missed something then, because it's obviously linked somehow.

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO: Report!

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@Dako: Captain. The AI has initiated Auto Destruct. I can't shut it off!

CTO_Augustus says:
*OPS*: What?

Host CO_Dako says:
@::Rushes in and fumbles in his tunic and pulls out a key on a lanyard::

CNS_Irane says:
::Notices the Captain and looks away again::

FCO_Ranahi says:
::calculates the distance needed to clear the explosion wave::

CIV_Walker says:
::has nothing to do again, so rather than idling:: Ops: Is there anything I can do? ::Smiles, looking bored::

CTO_Augustus says:
::Ties his screen into the TAC 1 station and starts reading the display as it appear::

OPS_Mayfair says:
::looks at Walker: Walker: Don't you go too far now we are not finish yet.

XO_Gleisen says:
CO: The Argo has activated a self-destruct sequence, sir. We're trying to shut it down. An escape course has been plotted if we fail. Q`tor and Yamamoto and still over there, and Dako was just beamed over.

Host CO_Dako says:
@CSO: Let's use this. ::plugs the key into a slot and punches in a code on the keyboard::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@Dako: Aye sir.

XO_Gleisen says:
OPS: Time remaining?

Host CO_Dako says:
@<AI>All: Validation of Autodestruct termination is recognized

FCO_Ranahi says:
XO: Commander, I've plotted a course that will take us about 10,000 kilometres from the Argo. That should make us clear.

CTO_Augustus says:
*OPS*: How about red alert Commander? ::Activates shields from his console::

XO_Gleisen says:
FCO: Very good.

Host Captain_Turner says:
OPS: Lock onto all life signs on the Argo and prepare for emergency beam out.

SO_Lorenzo says:
::lets out the breath she'd been holding::

OPS_Mayfair says:
XO: Unknown, give a sec, sir.

OPS_Mayfair says:
CO: Aye sir:

Host CO_Dako says:
@CSO: Uhm, certain things are sent by the unit through subspace

CTO_Augustus says:
::Gladius heads to the bridge at a run::

OPS_Mayfair says:
COMM: CEO: How long until the Argo blows up Cmdr?

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@Dako: I was just going to ask that Captain. A fail safe in case it gets stolen.

CEO_Q`tor says:
@::Looks around as the warnings go quiet:: *CSO*: Please tell me that the silence is a good thing.

CTO_Augustus says:
Self: Typical no one has the decency to contact the CTO, but will complain when something goes wrong...so typical!

SO_Lorenzo says:
::continues to monitor the AI system programming::

OPS_Mayfair says:
::Start getting a lock on all the life-signs::

CTO_Augustus says:
::enters the bridge removing the TO from TAC 1 and starts to read the displays::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@*CEO*: Auto destruct has been deactivated for the time being by Captain Dako.

Host CO_Dako says:
@CSO: It cannot be stolen, even if you had cut the cable the count would have gone on.... It is to prevent the termination by hostiles in case of a turnover.

CEO_Q`tor says:
@COMM: QIb: Auto destruct has been deactivated. When should we be able to re-start the warp power?

Host CO_Dako says:
@CSO: In some ways it is quite advanced

CIV_Walker says:
::feels ignored by Mayfair and walks over to Science and takes a seat next to Lorenzo:: SO: Hi.... ::Trails off::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@Dako: As I thought. Can the AI travel to another computer system if this one is damaged?

CEO_Q`tor says:
@::Leaves main engineering and heads back to CSO's location::

XO_Gleisen says:
::turns to Turner:: CO: Sir, after this it may not be a great idea to let it go back on it's own power. We may be better completely removing the AI.

Host CO_Dako says:
@CEO: Why not restart now? I presume your men have checked over the main cableways and for structural damage?

SO_Lorenzo says:
CIV: You're the genius on board. How about taking a look at the Argonaut's programming?

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: Transporter locks on crew.

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO: Agreed.

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@Dako: I am worried that the AI's perception matrix has difficulty recognizing who it is and who attacking ships are.

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: Ready to transport on your command

XO_Gleisen says:
CTO: Excellent. Hold off a second on beaming them out though.

Host CO_Dako says:
@CSO: They think that the "intelligence" after it learns will be able to adapt to any computer system once it has learned how

CIV_Walker says:
::plays it off modest:: SO: Well I wouldn't go so far as to say genius.... ::pauses::.... ok genius it is... if you insist.

XO_Gleisen says:
COMM: CEO: Gleisen to Q`tor.

Host Captain_Turner says:
OPS: Hail the Argo and have them shut down main power and transfer all personel to the QIb.

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: Aye, remember, shields need to be lowered before we transport.

Host CO_Dako says:
@CSO: Let us check

CNS_Irane says:
::Shakes her head at the CIV comment::

CEO_Q`tor says:
@CO_Dako: We were merely awaiting authorization sir. However, the Argo, while under her own power, will not be able to do more than warp 2. The structural integrity won't handle anything more than that.

CEO_Q`tor says:
@COMM: XO: Q'tor here sir

SO_Lorenzo says:
::smirks at Walkers modesty::

CIV_Walker says:
SO: So what is it?

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@Dako: Then sir, if that is true, the AI would, as a precaution, replicate itself to other systems, yes?

Host CO_Dako says:
@CEO: That will get us back to the starbase, in a few days, better than walking. ::grins::

Host Captain_Turner says:
OPS: Prepare to lock on to the Argonaut with a tractor beam as well.

OPS_Mayfair says:
COMM: Argo: Captain Turner wants to shut down the main power and get ready to be transported over here.

XO_Gleisen says:
COMM: CEO: We're ready to beam you out, but I want the AI completely removed first.

Host CO_Dako says:
@CEO: Start her up, if everything appears ready.

CTO_Augustus says:
::Checks on the status of transporter locks and the clarity of each lock boosting the ones in Argo's Engineering section::

CIV_Walker says:
::looks down at the Science Consoles::

SO_Lorenzo says:
CIV: Its an artificially intelligent computer system. That seems to have damaged its programming during the attack.

Host Captain_Turner says:
OPS: Actually if Captain Dako thinks it pertinent then leave a skeleton crew to assist with manual navigation and ease the load on our tractor beam.

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@COMM: XO: Commander, I suggest we disengage all subspace links to the Argo and run a search and purge of the QIb central cores.

XO_Gleisen says:
COMM: CEO: Agreed. Do it.

OPS_Mayfair says:
CO: Aye.

Host CO_Dako says:
@::chuckles:: CSO: It has not gained that capability as of yet

CEO_Q`tor says:
@CO_Dako: Sir, now I am receiving orders from the QIb to evacuate the ship, and prepare it for a tractor beam.

CIV_Walker says:
SO: Ok... lets take a look. ::Presses a few buttons on the main science display console to look at the AI command protocol system::

OPS_Mayfair says:
COMM: Argo: You can leave a skeleton crew if Captain Dako thinks is better

Host CO_Dako says:
@CEO: From what you say, it would never handle a tow

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@Dako: How can you be so sure, Captain? As a precaution, I would at least disengage all of the subspace links to the Argo.

SO_Lorenzo says:
CIV: CSO Yamamoto wants me to review its perception matrix, which, on the surface seem to be working fine.

Host CO_Dako says:
@CSO: Simple, it would need a module that was never installed, it is in a safe in my cabin

CIV_Walker says:
SO: You done a diagnostic to make sure that it's not a hardware problem?

CIV_Walker says:
SO: could just as easily be damage in the perception sub-processors.

Host CO_Dako says:
@AI: Who or what had attacked the ship, display class and type and damage done and recommendations

CEO_Q`tor says:
@CO_Dako: Aye sir. COMM: QIb: Q'tor here. Captain Dako would like to re-start the warp power now. She can make it back to Starbase under her own power, however slowly. Besides, the damage to the ship may not withstand being towed.

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@Dako: Very well.

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Watches the Argo on the forward view-screen::

SO_Lorenzo says:
CIV: CEO Q'Tor has repaired the damaged hardware enough to make it viable.

CTO_Augustus says:
::Gladius takes his time but realigns the secondary lateral sensor arrays so as he can scan the debris field some more::

XO_Gleisen says:
::looks at the Captain:: CO: Having it go under it's own power, after what just happened, would be a very bad idea.

CIV_Walker says:
SO: Well you've yet to tell me, so I'll ask, what are the symptoms?

CEO_Q`tor says:
@::returns to Main Engineering:: EO_Chambers: Prepare to restart the warp core

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@CEO: ::walks over to Qtor, out of earshot of Dako:: Commander, the Captain of the Argo has requested that we reengage the AI. I still have my reservations, but it is his ship.

SO_Lorenzo says:
CIV: What I want to know is if the damage happened after it was attacked, or if there is something wrong with the initial programming.

Host CO_Dako says:
@<AI> CO: We were attacked by numerous Starfleet vessels at "Exercise Weapons power". Probable cause: Fleet testing and exercising. We were additionally attacked by Romulan Warbirds, which are no longer present but their debris fields are.

CEO_Q`tor says:
@<EO_Chambers> CEO: Aye sir, all systems are showing ready

CIV_Walker says:
SO: That maybe the problem, but what are the symptoms, how are the problems manifesting themselves?

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@::hears the AI::

FCO_Ranahi says:
::tries to understand exactly what went on here::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@Dako: With your permission, I would like to ask the AI a few questions.

CEO_Q`tor says:
@CSO: I don't think powering the ship up will do any harm.

Host CO_Dako says:
@::Turns to the CSO:: See , it recognized things more or less accurately, I think ?

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO: Agreed but enabling the navigational thrusters should make it easier. Do you think that could be a problem?

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: I have an initial report on substances retrieved from the Romulan debris field.

CEO_Q`tor says:
@ EO_Chambers: begin restart sequence

SO_Lorenzo says:
CIV: Symptoms would be its failure to defend itself against the Romulan ships, but that could just be 'inexperience'.

XO_Gleisen says:
CO: I'm worried about what it's going to do when we feed it enough power.

XO_Gleisen says:
::turns to Augustus:: CTO: Go ahead.

Host CO_Dako says:
@CSO: Go ahead, but remember, it is not very conversant with meanings as yet

CEO_Q`tor says:
@::Goes over to dilithium chamber to confirm alignment::

CIV_Walker says:
SO: Could be, if it doesn't know what a Romulan attack is, then how's it gonna defend?

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@AI: AI, what is your primary mission?

CEO_Q`tor says:
@EO_Chambers: Start it up slowly Ensign

CIV_Walker says:
::Thinks for a moment:: SO: Pull up the Argonaughts database, see if it was programmed to ignore any specific targets?

Host CO_Dako says:
ACTION: The Ship Lights up and the warp core begins a low thrum

OPS_Mayfair says:
CO: The Argonaught is powering up, Sir.

CEO_Q`tor says:
@Self: Excellent.

SO_Lorenzo says:
CIV: I we have to work with at the moment are the recordings from the attack. I won't know if its something as simple as needed learned skills, or something more, until they get her up and running again.

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: All data that was retrieved, which I was allowed little chance of, was a few isolinear chips that hold minor data mainly personal logs, no info on ships names or missions. I am lead to believe that we have come across a few derelicts.

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@AI: What are your recognized Threat Forces?

Host Captain_Turner says:
OPS: Powering up?

CTO_Augustus says:
::watches as the readings from the Argo comes in::

SO_Lorenzo says:
CIV: Here we go, its got juice now.

CEO_Q`tor says:
@CO_Dako: Sir, warp power has been restored, full power in 5 minutes.

Host CO_Dako says:
@<AI> My Mission is to act as an advisor and crewman within the parameters of my programming and experience and what I can understand and theorize from that experience

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO: Maybe no power IS better.

SO_Lorenzo says:
::Begins her analysis of the powered system::

XO_Gleisen says:
::nods:: CTO: So, estimated response from the Romulans?

CIV_Walker says:
SO: Check if it is programmed to ignore certain Transponder codes or Energy Signatures, specifically.

OPS_Mayfair says:
CO: Yes. ::looks at the screen::

Host Captain_Turner says:
OPS: Hail the Argo again. I want ALL power shut down on that ship.

Host CO_Dako says:
@AI: Prepare to get underway back to the closest starbase warp factor 1.5.

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: I would normally say none. However, that is probably just what they want. so, I anticipate a retaliation.

CEO_Q`tor says:
@::watches the power output closely::

OPS_Mayfair says:
COMM: CO_D: Captain Drako, Captain Turner will like all power to be shut down immediately.

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@AI: Full Stop. We have not finished our investigation of the debris field.

Host CO_Dako says:
@<AI> CO: Recommend top Speed of Warp 1.258 ETA 2 days, 42 minutes.

SO_Lorenzo says:
CIV: Why would you want to know that? Do you think it purposefully didn't recognize the Romulan ships?

XO_Gleisen says:
::nods:: CTO: Keep your eyes out for any Romulan ships.

OPS_Mayfair says:
COMM: Q'tor: Power down that ship Cmdr

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@Dako: It responds only to you?

CEO_Q`tor says:
@::confused:: EO_ Chambers: Power down ensign

CIV_Walker says:
SO: Could be. It may have been programmed to ignore them, or it may have been programmed to ignore a specific federation transponder... say a starbase one, and then the Romulans got a hold of that information some how and mimicked the appropriate readings.

Host CO_Dako says:
@CSO: It responds mainly to the crew whose voice patterns are on file

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: It is just that, sir. We need to change our shield and cloaking harmonics. That is how I believe they tracked us! We have encountered them, and they now have those harmonics available.

SO_Lorenzo says:
CIV: There are too many ifs. But, we should start somewhere.

XO_Gleisen says:
CTO: Do it.

Host CO_Dako says:
@CSO: Tell your Captain that we shall wait though.

CEO_Q`tor says:
@::begins power down sequence:: COMM: QIb: Q'tor here. Is there a problem?

CIV_Walker says:
SO: I'd say it's more than plausible.

OPS_Mayfair says:
CO: Sir Q'tor is powering down. What now sir?

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: I can make initial adjustments, but the CEO and CSO will also be needed.

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@COMM: Away Team to QIb.

OPS_Mayfair says:
COMM: Q`tor: Stand by Cmdr.

SO_Lorenzo says:
::Continues with her evaluation of the Argonaut's AI system, reviewing its basic programming and perception matrix::

CTO_Augustus says:
::starts running initial test::

OPS_Mayfair says:
COMM: AT: Go ahead, Lieutenant.

Host Captain_Turner says:
OPS: Lock on to it with a tractor and hail any other available ships in the area for assistance with the tow.

CIV_Walker says:
::Starts pressing buttons:: SO: Ok....:;pauses then continues in a bit of an annoyed way:: ... I'll check that out...

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO: Carry on and inform Starfleet Command what's happened here.

SO_Lorenzo says:
::analysing its archive of 'enemy' ships::

CIV_Walker says:
::Accesses the Argonaughts Databanks remotely and checks for an 'ignore' code in there::

CEO_Q`tor says:
@::Goes over power readings to try and find out what was wrong that the QIb spotted and he missed::

XO_Gleisen says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::heads back to the OPS console::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
COMM: OPS: Commander, the Argo's Captain has agreed to wait until we have finished our investigation. I will need to return to the QIb for some diagnostic equipment.

XO_Gleisen says:
::taps a few buttons and opens a comm. to the starbase::

OPS_Mayfair says:
COMM: Q'tor: Prepare to be towed Cmdr

SO_Lorenzo says:
::smiles at Walker's annoyance:: CIV: I like to start at the bottom and work my way through a system, that way I know we didn't miss anything.

Host CO_Dako says:
@::looks of the "Printout" of the Romulan Warbirds noting that it even contains the individual hull numbers for each::

CEO_Q`tor says:
@COMM: OPS: Belay that order Cdr!!!

OPS_Mayfair says:
COMM:CSO: Understood Lt

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@COMM: CEO: Commander, permission to return to the QIb? I left some diagnostic equipment on the QIb.

CTO_Augustus says:
::Gladius transfers his initial info on harmonics for shields and cloak to CEO and CSO’s terminals::

CIV_Walker says:
SO: Well, what can I say, I like to start on top and work my way down... ::Frown as he looks at the base codes in the transponder archives::

XO_Gleisen says:
::turns around and looks at a console at the back of the bridge and talks for a few minutes with Starfleet, telling them what's going on::

OPS_Mayfair says:
COMM: Q'tor: Why, Cmdr?

OPS_Mayfair says:
CO: There seems to be a problem sir

CEO_Q`tor says:
@COMM: OPS: The Argo will not withstand being towed. We have massive hull breaches over here, and a tractor beam could rip the ship apart.

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Walks over to the centre seat and sits down:: OPS: Problem Number Two?

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@CEO: Sir?

Host CO_Dako says:
@COMM: QIb: CTO: Chief. I have the data on the Warbirds here that the AI captured, would you care to have a look at the data?

OPS_Mayfair says:
CO: We cannot tow that ship, sir.

Host Captain_Turner says:
OPS: Why not? What's wrong?

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: Sir, I have sent prelims too the CEO and CSO.

XO_Gleisen says:
CTO: Very good.

CTO_Augustus says:
::looks over at the XO, CO and OPS::

OPS_Mayfair says:
CO: Cmdr Q'tor thinks it will rip the ship apart.

CTO_Augustus says:
::He doesn't know whether he should respond or not to Captain Dako::

CEO_Q`tor says:
@COMM: OPS: We will have to increase power to the structural integrity field before being able to tow the ship.
