USS Scorpius - NCC 50666    
Stardate 10201.12
“Hidden Dangers”  
Week 1

Host Susan says:
Two passenger liners, the SS Caledonia and the SS Nemitz, 
have gone missing in the Arkon Sector. Our orders are to locate 
these ships and render any assistance needed, as well as to 
investigate the cause of the frequency of such disappearances in this 
sector.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
*TO* Nmbarri here.

TO_Anari says:
*CTO* Weapons systems are online, powered up and ready to go, sir

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CSO: You you're saying this place is the Bermuda Triangle of outer space?

SO_Aowte says:
CSO: A regular Bermuda Triangle, huh?

CTO_Nmbarri says:
*TO* Very good, Stay sharp, we have no idea what we will be getting into, and I want the weapons at ready.

CMO_Garta says:
MO: Sorry, Hannah must not have the information out to everyone yet.  We are heading in search of two ships missing in the Arkon sector.  With over 1,000 people, I'm expecting some injuries.

CSO_STurtek says:
SO:  I am unfamiliar with the reference, I'm afraid.  Is it Terran?

TO_Anari says:
*CTO*  Yes, sir...Anari out

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::arrives on the bridge and transfers control to the Engineering station::

TO_Anari says:
:: returns to monitoring the power to the weapons systems ::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CSO: It is an Earth legend.

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
CO: Well that was fun.  Permission to leave the bridge, Captain? I thought I'd go to SB and see if they needed help setting up.

FCO_Vince says:
::checking the ETA::

MO_October says:
CMO: wow.. no.. I hadn't heard.. guess I been in here alone too long.. ::pulls out the case and flips it open.. looking for a blue cartridge::

Host CO_TPaula says:
CNS: Granted.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::goes to Tactical station and checks shields::

MO_October says:
::gives herself the injection and sighs::

SO_Aowte says:
SO: Something about this triangle on earth were things just disappear.. ships.. and stuff.

CSO_STurtek says:
XO:  Forgive me, sir, I am unaware of any aspect of Terran culture in the disappearance of space vessels?  ::looks confused::

Host Susan says:
TIME LAPSE:  Six hours have passed and the Scorpius has arrived on the rim of the Arkon sector.

CMO_Garta says:
MO: It's probably waiting for you on your quarter's console. ::enters her office to check on information for the medical staff::

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  We're entering the Arkon sector Captain

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CSO: Sailing ships have been known to disappear within an area surrounded by lines connecting Miami and the islands of Puerto Rico and Bermuda in the Atlantic Ocean.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Sir, we're as ready as we're ever going to be.  We've converted the Cargo Bays to house any survivors we find.  Medical could also use those areas as triage if they need to.

CSO_STurtek says:
::begins to access LCARS::  Computer, display information on 'Bermuda Triangle".

MO_October says:
CMO: hmm.. haven't been in there for a while.. ::follows the CMO:: I don't think I remember what they look like

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: Just make sure they can hold at least 1,000 people.

SO_Aowte says:
CSO: What he said.  ::indicating the XO::

CMO_Garta says:
MO: I'm just the opposite.  I am so tired of seeing my quarters, I'm glad to be back to work.

TO_Anari says:
:: Notices a small surge in the power grid to the weapons systems in Jefferies tube A-36 ::    *CTO*  Anari to Nmbarri

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  1,000?  We're expecting that many?

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::begins long range scans of the area, looking for any signs of the missing ships::

SO_Aowte says:
CSO: The computer identified the 3 class M planets and the satellites and the 2 suns in this system.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
*TO* Yes Anari?

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: Each liner has 525 people.

CSO_STurtek says:
::touches panels rapidly::  XO:  Commencing active scanning.  ::patches all output to Tactical::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods:: XO:  We should be able to do it.  It's going to be tight, though.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CSO: Any sign of those liners, let me or the captain know immediately.

TO_Anari says:
*CTO*:  I detected a small glitch in the power grid, Jefferies tube A-36.  On my way there to check it out.

CSO_STurtek says:
SO:  Indeed, Mister Aowte.  Full sensor scans seem to be in order.

CMO_Garta says:
::sits behind her desk and pours a cup of tea::

CSO_STurtek says:
XO:  Aye, Commander.

FCO_Vince says:
::proceeding at 1/2 impulse::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: Well, we all can't be the Ritz.

SO_Aowte says:
CSO:  I advise caution.  Perhaps the gravimetric pull of the system might have formed some sort of anomaly?

CTO_Nmbarri says:
*TO* Very good, keep me updated. Nmbarri out.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::looks puzzled:: XO:  The Ritz, Sir?

MO_October says:
::grins and looks for another cartridge::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: Very fancy Earth hotel.

SO_Aowte says:
CSO: That would account for the disappearance of the ships, I mean.

TO_Anari says:
:: Nods as the comlink closes, grabs her tool kit and leaves the security office ::

FCO_Vince says:
::Begins a search pattern and keeps eye on the nav sensors::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::checks his console to find any sign of the power surge::

MO_October says:
CMO: I am hoping to stop using the prolitertia soon.. ::gives herself another injection:: it gives me a headache

CSO_STurtek says:
SO:  An interesting hypothesis.  I recall a binary star system that had unusual radiation that regular shielding was ineffective against and sensors could barely penetrate.

TO_Anari says:
:: Walks down the corridor to the nearest Jefferies Tube entrance ::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::grins:: XO:  Ah, I understand now.  I'll let medical know we have a triage area set up for them.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
XO: Sir, TO Anari has detected a power surge to the weapons system in Jefferies tube A-36, she is on her way to check it out, and repair it.

TO_Anari says:
:: Stops, opens the panel, setting it down, then begins to crawl into the tube ::

CSO_STurtek says:
XO:  Sir, I have traced several ion trails to a point where they all simply vanish from sensors.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Acknowledged.  We need all we can muster.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CSO: What's in that area?

FCO_Vince says:
::trying to calculate how long it will take to scan the entire sector::

CNS_Bauer says:
::Enters SB::

SO_Aowte says:
CSO: But I'm not detecting any unusual radiation.  Of course, maybe that's what's unusual about it.. because you can't detect it. Hum.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CMO*:  AQilla to Garta.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::hears the SO:: CSO/SO: Prepare sensor probes, class VII.

CSO_STurtek says:
XO:  Nothing that sensors are detecting.  With your permission, I suggest a class 4 probe and a tachyon scan.

CNS_Bauer says:
::Looks around at all the activity, thinks that Garta is good:

Host Susan says:
ACTION:  The power surge in the weapons system continues to increase, causing several conduits in Jefferies tube A-36 to burst into a shower of sparks.

SO_Aowte says:
XO: Yes sir.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::hears an alarm from her station and races over::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::double checks the other tactical systems, making sure none of them have any power problems, all seems well::

SO_Aowte says:
::shakes her head as her 2 superiors speak at the same time, and waits for them to clear it up::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::red lights flash on the tactical station::

TO_Anari says:
:: crawls slowly, stopping as sparks fly... ::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
*TO* Anari, report.

CSO_STurtek says:
SO:  Class VII as the XO has ordered.

TO_Anari says:
:: covers her head... ::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Sir, I'm reading an explosion in JT A-36

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CSO: Class VII, and include every possible sensor system, from visual to ultrasonic.

TO_Anari says:
*CTO*:  Power surge in A-36...I'm not at the junction yet

MO_October says:
*CEO*:  You called?  The boss had to run for a sec

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CSO: Put the kitchen sink in there if it would help.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
XO: I confirm, there seems to be a massive power surge down there.

SO_Aowte says:
::nods and nods:: XO/CSO: Aye.. uh.. sirs.  ::taps her console and prepares a Class VII probe.::

CSO_STurtek says:
XO:  aye, sir.  Scanning now, full arrays.  We should have something momentarily.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
*TO* Do you need assistance?

CNS_Bauer says:
::Hears Jesse's voice::

TO_Anari says:
:: Continues crawling towards the junction ::

CMO_Garta says:
*CEO*: Garta here.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: What's the problem in that junction?

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
*MO/CMO*:  Just to let you know, a triage center has been set up in Cargo Bay 2 to handle mass casualties.

Host CO_TPaula says:
CTO: Reroute power around that junction until we get it fixed.

TO_Anari says:
:: stops and looks at the relays and circuits... ::

CNS_Bauer says:
::finds Jesse::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
XO: All I know at this point is there has been a power surge, TO Anari is trying to figure it out.

TO_Anari says:
*CTO*:  No sir...I can handle it

MO_October says:
::looks at the CMO as she comes back::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
*MO/CMO*:  You might want to equip that area medically.

CNS_Bauer says:
MO: Hi

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::Reroutes power from Jefferies tube A-36::

MO_October says:
::turns to see the CNS:: CNS: oh hey Zach...

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Ma'am, there's no more I can do here.  With your permission I'll go down there and check the damage for myself.

Host Susan says:
ACTION:  Impulse engines falter as power surges through them, dropping the ship to all-stop.

FCO_Vince says:
::making sure the propulsion and nav systems haven't been affected by the surge::

TO_Anari says:
:: begins to work on the relays and circuits... ::    Self:  Boy, there's a lot of dust-balls here...

CTO_Nmbarri says:
CO: Aye Captain, it's done.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Captain, until we can find whatever swallowed those liners, I suggest we keep our distance.

CNS_Bauer says:
MO: Just thought I'd come down see if you all needed a hand.

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Captain!  Propulsion is offline.  We're stopping

CMO_Garta says:
*CEO* Acknowledged Cmdr.  I'll send a team immediately.  Thank you.

CSO_STurtek says:
XO:  Sir....  ::fingers flying over consoles::

Host CO_TPaula says:
CEO: Granted.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CSO: Go, STurtek!

MO_October says:
CNS: thanks. ::grins and looks at him:: how have you been?

CMO_Garta says:
CNS: Ah Zach, just in time, feel like lending a hand?

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::curses as she feels the ship slow then stop:: CO:  On second thought ... we just lost propulsion!!

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::checks and rechecks Tac systems::

CSO_STurtek says:
ALL:  confirmed...we are adrift...all-stop.

CNS_Bauer says:
MO:....and a chance to see the most beautiful girl on the ship.

Host CO_TPaula says:
CSO: Cause?

SO_Aowte says:
FCO: Did our warp bubble collapse?

TO_Anari says:
:: Adjusting the power relays... ::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Impulse engines are off-line.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
Anyone: What the heck did we run into?

MO_October says:
::blushes:: CNS: ohh umm I see..

SO_Aowte says:
CSO: I'm reading radiation straight ahead.

CMO_Garta says:
MO: Take a team to the triage area and get it all set up.  Inform me on the bridge when you're done.  I'm going to see what's going on.

CSO_STurtek says:
CO:  Unknown, Captain, I am attempting to ascertain that presently...  ::beginning to sweat::

MO_October says:
CMO: right sir.. 

CNS_Bauer says:
CMO: Thats why I’m here Doc ::Embarrassed as she may have heard my comment to Jess::

TO_Anari says:
:: Gets a little spark thrown at her and she jumps just a bit startled ::

CSO_STurtek says:
SO:  Nature of the radiation?

FCO_Vince says:
::checks warp drive status::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
Self: Weapons are down, but not out. 

MO_October says:
::grabs a medical kit and a hypo kit and heads for the sickbay doors::

CMO_Garta says:
::smiles at Jesse and Zach:: Self: Good to know we aren't the only couple on the ship.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::leaves the bridge and races like crazy for Engineering::

CMO_Garta says:
::grabs her kit and exits sickbay::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Captain, I have an idea.  Maybe we can compare the surge in A-33 to the shutdown of the engines.  There may be a common cause.

CNS_Bauer says:
CMO: So here are my hands ...use them.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::checks other systems:: Self: Shields seem ok.

SO_Aowte says:
CSO: Unknown.  It's approximately 50 KM ahead and the RAD is increasing.

TO_Anari says:
:: goes to her tool kit for another relay switch... ::

Host Susan says:
ACTION:  Power surges in sickbay cause the sensors over the bio-beds to spark.

CSO_STurtek says:
::begins full diagnostics on impulse and warp engine systems with internal and external sensors::

CMO_Garta says:
CNS: ::calls over her shoulder:: Go with Jesse, I'm sure she'll want your help.

TO_Anari says:
:: inserts it and works on setting the relay correctly ::

Host CO_TPaula says:
XO: Advise the CEO to look for similarities.

CNS_Bauer says:
SELF: Uh oh

SO_Aowte says:
CSO: Perhaps it's that strange radiation you were talking about.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
XO: Sir, shields are holding thus far.

CSO_STurtek says:
SO:  Advise the Captain, and see if you can get a rad-damping field around us.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::arrives in ME and races over to the situation monitor::

MO_October says:
::turns as a medical tech screams and dives under a bed as the over head scanners shower plasma:: tech: get down!

CSO_STurtek says:
SO:  I hope not...it crushes ships' hulls.

FCO_Vince says:
CO:   If this is caused by the radiation, we should raise our shields, if they still work

Host CO_TPaula says:
CTO: Full shields.

CNS_Bauer says:
:: Rushes to Jess to cover her and get her out of there::

SO_Aowte says:
XO/CO: Captain, we have detected increasing radiation activity approximately 50KM ahead.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
CO: Shields at full.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::monitors a power overload and begins to try to compensate::

Host CO_TPaula says:
FCO: Confirm that we are not moving toward it.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
*CEO* A'Qilla!  Check for possible causes of the surge in JT junction A-33 and the cut in impulse.

MO_October says:
CNS: I'm ok.. but the sensors.. they are fried...

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Checking

TO_Anari says:
:: sits back a moment, wiping a little sweat from her brow ::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
*CEO* There may be a connection.

CNS_Bauer says:
MO: Come on let's get out of here ::Takes her covering her with his own body and takes her to safety::

FCO_Vince says:
::scanning to see if the radiation is moving toward us, since we're at a dead stop::

TO_Anari says:
:: begins again to check the relay... ::

CSO_STurtek says:
::feverishly working console with intense concentration::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
*TO* Progress report, how are things going down there?

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
*XO*:  Checking now, Sir.  We've had a major power overload in the impulse drive.  I'm attempting to compensate now.

MO_October says:
::follows the CNS:: CNS: but the staff...

Host Susan says:
ACTION:  Sensors detect a steady increase in radiation as the space before the Scorpius opens into a black void.

CNS_Bauer says:
MO: I'm not an engineer but i could take a look

Host XO_VanSickle says:
*TO* Bridge to Anari, do you see the cause of the surge down there?

TO_Anari says:
*CTO*:  There's a problem with the relays here, but I just replaced it, and am finishing the corrections.  I should know in a minute::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
*TO*: Standing by.

TO_Anari says:
:: Looks at the circuits ::   XO:  No sir, nothing that looks abnormal...

SO_Aowte says:
CO/XO/CSO: Oh no...  ::looks up at the viewscreen as her sensor picks up the opening of the void.::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
SO: Report!

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Captain, We're at a dead stop, but the radiation is increasing

SO_Aowte says:
::looks at her sensors again:: CO/CSO/XO: It's .. uh.. nothing, literally.  Sensors are not reporting back what's in it.

MO_October says:
CNS: well.. don't think its safe too

CMO_Jenise says:
::re-enters sickbay::

CSO_STurtek says:
CO:  the radiation has overloaded the circuitry, sir.  FCO:  Emergency reverse thrusters may still be available...

TO_Anari says:
:: Finishes the final corrections... ::   *CTO*: Anari to Nmbarri...try it now, sir

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::gets readings of the overloads and compares them ... finds a link:: *XO*:   Engineering to bridge.  Sir, it appears an external source is causing the overloads.  I'm reading high radiation levels ... what's going on up there, Sir?

CTO_Nmbarri says:
*TO* Ok, Trying.

SO_Aowte says:
::checks to see if the void has "sucking" power.::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
SO: You're saying what's out there is a sensor void?

FCO_Vince says:
::tries to use the thrusters::

TO_Anari says:
:: sits back a moment... ::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
*XO*:  I'm now also reading overloads in Sickbay ...

Host XO_VanSickle says:
*CEO* There's a high radiation source dead ahead!

SO_Aowte says:
XO: Yes... it's like a black hole. Nothing.  I'll try to increase sensor resolutions and try again..

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::checks the weapons systems, back online again::

CNS_Bauer says:
::Looks up at it ,thinks about it and says MO: Um ..maybe your right let's call an engineer. ::Smiles::

TO_Anari says:
:: nods as she sees the power coming through ::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
*XO*:  Get us away from it!  It's definitely the cause ...

CMO_Jenise says:
*CEO* I've got sparks flying in here like the 4th of July, what's going on?

CTO_Nmbarri says:
*TO* Anari, they are fixed, good work. Nmbarri out.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
XO: Sir, weapons are back online.

MO_October says:
CNS: sounds good

Host XO_VanSickle says:
SO: Do whatever you can.  I don't want us to run into it without knowing what it is.

SO_Aowte says:
XO: Just a lot of radiation.

CSO_STurtek says:
::idea flashes into brain::  SO:  Reverse the polarity of the scanners and see if we can't get a look inside the void...  ::begins to reverse polarity and emits fluxing burst of anti-tachyons::

Host Susan says:
ACTION:  Power surges again in the impulse engines and causes the Scorpius to surge forward into the void.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CO: That is causing our problems.  We need to get away!

TO_Anari says:
:: Smiles as she hears the CTO.  Replaces the panel and starts back out of the jefferies tubes

Host XO_VanSickle says:

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CMO*:  High levels of radiation, Garta.  I suggest you also initiate radiation protocols in the event of prolonged exposure.

CNS_Bauer says:
::Gives Jess a playful hug::

FCO_Vince says:
::Trying to back us off with the thrusters::

SO_Aowte says:

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Trying Captain, but the thrusters aren't enough

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::feels the ship moving forward towards the void::

CMO_Jenise says:
*CEO* Already started sir.

Host CO_TPaula says:
CSO: Recommendations?

Host XO_VanSickle says:
*CEO* We're going to need full warp power thrown into reverse!

CSO_STurtek says:
::manages to remain upright as the ship surges::

TO_Anari says:
Self:  What was that?

CNS_Bauer says:
CMO/MO: Um did something bad just happen?

FCO_Vince says:
::leaning on all the buttons::

TO_Anari says:
:: continues out the jefferies tube ::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::attempts to compensate for the surges to the engines::

MO_October says:
CNS: don't know Zach..

Host Susan says:
ACTION:  Radiation levels begin to drop as the void closes around the ship.

CSO_STurtek says:
CO:  Full emergency reverse and reversing polarity of the shield harmonics...but I cannot predict the effectiveness.  I am merely proceeding on things we have not yet attempted, Captain.

SO_Aowte says:

CMO_Jenise says:
::grabs two hypos and heads to the bridge::

Host XO_VanSickle says:

CNS_Bauer says:
CMO/MO: Ships vanish in these parts of space.

TO_Anari says:
:: has reached the end and slowly crawls out of the jefferies tube...a little dirty ::

FCO_Vince says:
::slams fists onto the console and cusses in Klingon::

SO_Aowte says:
CSO: I think we're going in .. whether we like it or not.....

MO_October says:
CNS: what?

TO_Anari says:
:: dusts herself off then replaces the panel ::

SO_Aowte says:
CSO: And I think we just answered the question of what happened to the disappearance of the ships.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::watches as the readings slowly return to normal and impulse comes back on-line:: *XO*:  Sir, impulse engines are back on-line.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
*All hands* Welcome to the Bermuda Triangle.  Ships check in but they don't check out.

CSO_STurtek says:
CO/XO:  Sirs, I believe we now know how the ships disappeared in this area of space.

SO_Aowte says:
::looks at her new XO and wonders how he can joke at a time like this::

FCO_Vince says:
XO:  Great!  Now they work!

CNS_Bauer says:
MO: Yeah! No one knows where they go.

TO_Anari says:
:: tips her head a bit at the announcement... ::   Self:   hmmm...

Host CO_TPaula says:
XO: Encouraging.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::is not amused by the XO's attempt at humor::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::hears the XO's comment and frowns, puzzled::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CO: That wasn't meant to be encouraging, ma'am.

SO_Aowte says:
XO: Maybe it's because they like it here so much that they don't want to go back?  ::hopes::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::glares at SO::

TO_Anari says:
:: sneezes as she begins back to the security office ::

CMO_Jenise says:
::enters the TL and orders it to the bridge::

Host Susan says:
ACTION:  Sensors detect dozens of ships from different eras.  Two of them are quickly identified as the Nemitz and the Caledonia.

CSO_STurtek says:
XO:  If I recall my Terran Culture, there is a Song by...The Birds of Prey?  Hotel California...that has a refrain like that.  ::straight face::

SO_Aowte says:
::mind boggles with the amount of sensor readings::  CSO: I think we found our missing ships.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CSO: That's the Eagles.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
XO: Sir, I have identified the two missing ships that we are looking for.

CMO_Jenise says:
::enters the bridge wondering why the XO is talking about birds right now::

TO_Anari says:
:: enters the security office, replaces her tool kit, and takes her position at the console ::

CSO_STurtek says:
CO:  I believe we have located the Nemitz and Caledonia...as well as a plethora of other ships...

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CSO: ...but that lyric says, "You can check out anytime you like, but you may never leave."

CNS_Bauer says:
MO: Wow ::Almost falls over::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::checks all systems and finds everything seems to have returned to normal::

SO_Aowte says:
::clears her throat:: CSO: Sir.  I believe we've found the Nemitz and the Caledonia.

FCO_Vince says:
All:  Now that's a lot of ships

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CSO: I was quoting from an old Raid Roach Motel advertisement.

MO_October says:
::holds Zach up:: CNS: you ok?

CSO_STurtek says:
XO:  Indeed.  That is the lyric I recall.  ALL:  there are ships from multiple eras present in this...dimensional rift.

CNS_Bauer says:
MO: I just got a huge rush of emotions like 1000's of voices

SO_Aowte says:
CSO: And a lot of the other ones...

CSO_STurtek says:
SO:  Yes, I had informed the Captain of that, thank you.

TO_Anari says:
:: checks the power in jefferies tube A-36...smiles as she sees it is green ::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
XO: Should I attempt to hail the other ships?

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
*XO*:  Sir, Cargo Transporters are ready to beam the survivors to the cargo bays.

MO_October says:
::blinks:: CNS: Oh.. I must still be deaf.. Are you ok?

CMO_Jenise says:
::walks over to the CO:: CO: Permission to start radiation protocol level one sir?

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Up to the captain.

FCO_Vince says:
::scans the other ships for power signatures and lifesigns::

Host CO_TPaula says:
CMO: Go ahead.

CMO_Jenise says:
::injects the CO and moves to the XO::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CMO: What's this?

TO_Anari says:
<Computer> Run a diagnostic on the power grid to the weapons systems.  Target jefferies tube A-36 junction

CSO_STurtek says:
::scanning other vessels, full sensor sweep::

CNS_Bauer says:
MO: Yes but you never told me about that. It was cool. HHmmmmmm is it supposed to give you a headache?

Host CO_TPaula says:
CTO: Contact the liners.

CMO_Jenise says:
XO: Radiation protocol.  The levels got pretty high a few minutes ago.  Better safe than sorry.

MO_October says:
CNS: some times it does..

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CMO: OK.  Could always use a radiation booster shot.  ::offers neck::

SO_Aowte says:
::watches as they pass ships after ships after ships:: self: A regular ship yard!

CNS_Bauer says:
MO: It's like eating ice cream to fast.... isn't it?

CMO_Jenise says:
::injects the XO and moves on to the CSO:: XO: I'm sure.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
COMM Caledonia/Nemitz: This is the USS Scorpius, do you read us?

FCO_Vince says:
SO:  Or an eclectic fleet

CSO_STurtek says:
SO:  Confirm 28 ships?

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CSO/SO: You both finding a way out of here?

MO_October says:
CNS: yeah... but I never tried ice cream too fast before..

SO_Aowte says:
CSO: The computer has identified at least 28 ships.

TO_Anari says:
:: Smiles as the computer completes its diagnostic... ::

SO_Aowte says:
CSO: Uh.. yes.. confirmed.

CMO_Jenise says:
::injects the CSO and SO, then moves on to the FCO::

TO_Anari says:
Self:  Good...stay that way now.

SO_Aowte says:
CSO: Look at that... that ship is a classic.. they don't make them in Starfleet anymore...

CNS_Bauer says:
MO: So what can we do here I got a feeling we is gonna be busy... soon.

CSO_STurtek says:
SO: Indeed.  and across eras.  whatever this is, it has been here a good while...

CMO_Jenise says:
FCO: Flew us into a bit of a pickle eh Vince? ::smiles::

Host Susan says:
ACTION:  Sensors indicate power fluctuations in the Nemitz and Caledonia.  The older ships show minimal power levels.

MO_October says:
CNS: oh.. feel sick

SO_Aowte says:
::flinches a little as the CMO presses the hypospray to her neck:: CMO: Thanks.

CSO_STurtek says:
SO:  It has the lines of an Akira...but MUCH older...

CNS_Bauer says:
MO: What's wrong?

FCO_Vince says:
::grunts at the CMO's comment::

SO_Aowte says:
CSO: I'm checking for lifesigns....

MO_October says:

Host Susan says:
<Nemitz> COM: Scorpius:  It's good to see someone else out there, The Caledonia hasn't had communications up for days.  We have hundreds injured and our medical facilities are operating at a bare minimum now.  Can you get us out of here?

CMO_Jenise says:
::injects the FCO then pats him on the shoulder:: FCO: It's okay.  If anybody can save us from this it's my two favorite Klingons.

SO_Aowte says:
CSO: The Nemitz and the Caledonia seems to be in tacked for the most part... but the older ones.. the power level are really at minimal..

CSO_STurtek says:
::scans the particulate matter and does standard density checks of the space around them::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CSO: Any life readings on the older ships?

Host CO_TPaula says:
*CEO*: What's our power status?

FCO_Vince says:
::Smirks slightly::

CSO_STurtek says:
XO:  Checking now, sir...nothing we can read.

CNS_Bauer says:
MO: You're feeling something?

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CSO: How old are those ships?

CNS_Bauer says:
MO: Like as in .....you know?

SO_Aowte says:
CSO: There wouldn't be many that survived, if any still living on those older ships...

CMO_Jenise says:
::moves on to the CTO and TO::

MO_October says:
::looks at the CNS:; CNS: oh.. oh.. a little

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CO*:  Ma'am, all systems are operational.  Power levels are stable.

CSO_STurtek says:
SO:  Indeed.  A puzzle.  XO:  Nemitz and Caledonia seem to be intact.

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  All propulsion systems are back online

SO_Aowte says:
XO: Perhaps asked the Nemitz, they would probably have scanned this void more thoroughly than we have by now.

CNS_Bauer says:
MO: Oh my word that’s fantabulous.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CSO: The Caledonia seems to be in a bit of trouble.

CMO_Jenise says:
CTO: A moment of your time please, I promise it won't hurt.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
CO: The Nemitz has responded, but the Caledonia's COMM system is down.

TO_Anari says:
:: Stands and stretches, glancing at the security console ::

CNS_Bauer says:
MO: Has this happened before?

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::arrives on the bridge and exits ... looks at the viewscreen and gasps::

Host CO_TPaula says:
CSO: I assume we can't just fly out of here, or these other ships would have.  Scan for a barrier of some kind, what is keeping us in here?

MO_October says:
CNS: yes! I don't have to take the drugs any more

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::looks at the CMO and grins::

MO_October says:
CNS: no..

CMO_Jenise says:
::waits for Nmbarri to bend down so she can inject him::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: You enjoy giving me shots, don’t you?

Host CO_TPaula says:
CTO: Find out their status.

CMO_Jenise says:
CTO: Well, it is my job. ::grins::

SO_Aowte says:
::thinks a little:: CSO: If a high level of radiation caused a rift and brought us in here.. perhaps…  we can create the same radiation level in here.. to create a doorway to the outside world?  ::looks at him::

TO_Anari says:
:: Begins to sneeze again... ::   Self:  Dang those dustballs...

CSO_STurtek says:
XO/CO:  the ships range in age, from current technology to approximately 200 standard years old.

CNS_Bauer says:
MO: Oh Jess that’s wonderful, congrats.  :: Holds her in his arms and kisses the top of her head::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::extends arm downward so the CMO can give the hypospray::

Host CO_TPaula says:
XO: It looks like we'll have to send someone to find out the status of the Caledonia.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::moves down to where the CO and XO are:: CO/XO:  We're ready to beam survivors over on your signal.  With the cargo transporters we can transport up to 20 people at one time.

MO_October says:
::blushes hard at the CNS's kiss::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Agreed.  I'll lead an away team.

CSO_STurtek says:
SO:  Interesting, but would we not be better to duplicate reversing conditions?

CTO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: You owe me for this doc.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  And I'll go with you.  You'll need an engineer over there, Sir.

SO_Aowte says:
CSO: What do you think?  I'm thinking that the radiation that we detected was created in real space.. that's why we could detect them on our scanners.  And if we create one in here... it should... create an opening out.

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  I'm moving us a little closer to the Caledonia

Host CO_TPaula says:
XO: A shuttle would probably consume less power.  We should conserve our energy.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CSO/CTO/CMO/CEO: You're with me.  

CMO_Jenise says:
::uses the hypo on T'Lok then smiles at him:: CTO: Thank you, Ensign.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
XO: Aye Sir.

SO_Aowte says:
CSO: Good luck!   ::smiles::

FCO_Vince says:
::moves the ship on low impulse approaching the Caledonia::

CNS_Bauer says:
MO: This is big. We gotta celebrate..... if we get the time... :: Thinks of disappearing ships::

CMO_Jenise says:
XO: Aye sir.

CSO_STurtek says:
SO:  Or create another void inside this one.  The question is whether or not it's artificial.  ::rises to follow the XO::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::follows the XO::

SO_Aowte says:
CSO: I'll work on that theory and submit a formal report by the time you get back sir.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  On my way.  ::walks with the CMO to the TL::

MO_October says:
CNS: We disappeared too didn't we?

CSO_STurtek says:
SO:  Very well.  ::follows the XO::

CNS_Bauer says:
MO: I think we have

Host Susan says:
ACTION:  Sensors identify the origins of the older ships as Orion, Breen, Terran, Romulan, Klingon, as well as several unknown designs.

CMO_Jenise says:
::enters the TL:: CEO: What all is going on?

TO_Anari says:
:: Finishes her sneezing fit...and returns her attention to the security console ::

MO_October says:

CNS_Bauer says:
MO: Don’t worry we'll be ok… ok just fine.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::enters TL w/ officers in tow:: Computer: Shuttle bay 2.

CSO_STurtek says:
SO:  Work on the premise that this thing is moving through space and time somehow...just a thought...

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::shakes her head:: CMO:  I have no idea.  I guess we'll find out.

MO_October says:
CNS: I hope so...

CSO_STurtek says:
::rides TL in silence with the other officers::

SO_Aowte says:
CO: Captain, here's something interesting.  All the older ships seem to be gathered together in the center of this void... perhaps.. there's a gravimetric pull.... hum.

CMO_Jenise says:
::wonders briefly if those other ships can be salvaged::

SO_Aowte says:
::about to answer the CSO, but sees that he is gone, so she nods instead, feeling just a bit silly::

CNS_Bauer says:
MO: Maybe we should find something to keep busy. When the CO wants us to know she will tell us.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
All in TL: Once we get over there, find out how the systems, crew and passengers are doing.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
XO: Sir, we haven't detected any lifesigns on any ships other than the Nemitz and the Caledonia, right?

Host CO_TPaula says:
FCO: Try moving us away from the center slightly.

CSO_STurtek says:
XO:  Aye, Commander.  

MO_October says:
CNS: hmm what do you have in mind?

SO_Aowte says:
CO: There are no other lifesigns detected in any of the other ships other than the Nemitz, Caledonia and ourselves... of course.

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Aye

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::TL stops near SB2:: CTO: That's correct.  ::exits TL heading to SB2::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods:: XO: Aye, Sir.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::exits TL and heads for SB2::

CMO_Jenise says:
XO: Sir?  Are we certain it's clear to take a shuttle into this...this...whatever it is?

Host CO_TPaula says:
SO: Is there any detectable force on the Scorpius?

CTO_Nmbarri says:
XO: Fascinating, any chance we might get to check the older ones out? 

FCO_Vince says:
::sets the reverse impulse to compensate for the gravimetric pull until the Scorpius begins to back away::

CNS_Bauer says:
MO: Oh my word... no... I wasn’t thinking that honest Jesse I wasn't... not just then anyway.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CMO: We're using the shuttle because we're saving energy on the ship for an escape.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Maybe, if we find out exactly what this place is, we might be able to find some way to protect our systems.

MO_October says:
::looks at Zach::

CMO_Jenise says:
XO: Aye sir. ::follows the XO::

TO_Anari says:
:: punches in a few buttons on the console ::

CSO_STurtek says:
CMO:  I believe it is a dimensional rift caused by gravimetric distortion, Doctor.  ::trying to be helpful::

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  It would seem that everyone on those ships except for the Nemitz, Caledonia, and us died, either of old age or starvation

CSO_STurtek says:
::follows along with the XO::

CMO_Jenise says:
::hopes the saved energy isn't used in rescuing them soon::

MO_October says:

CEO: This trip will help in that study.  ::enters SB 2 and heads to runabout Mississippi::

CMO_Jenise says:
CSO: Thank you. ::smiles::

CNS_Bauer says:
::Looks at Jess wondering if he said something stupid again::

CSO_STurtek says:
::nods to CMO::

Host CO_TPaula says:
FCO: Agreed.

SO_Aowte says:
::checks:: CO: Other than tachyon particles, and the gravimetric pull, there are no other forces on the Scorpius.  ::looks up:: So, I guess if we stay away far enough from the stronger centripetal force, I guess we'll be okay.

Host XO_VanSickle says:

CMO_Jenise says:
CTO: Yes sir. ::grins::

SO_Aowte says:
CO: Unknown sir.  I'm still working on it.  It seems that the high concentration of radiation that we detected prior to our being here opened a rift in space.  We traveled into that rift and uh... here we are.  My theory is that we're not in real space... maybe subspace.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
XO: Ready Sir.

CSO_STurtek says:
::waits for the XO's orders::

CNS_Bauer says:
~~~MO: maybe I should go back to the bridge… I find you difficult to work with.~~~

Host XO_VanSickle says:
