"Bent Over Backwards," Episode IV:  "Magic Carpet Ride..."

Host Gerry says:
Previously on the USS Scorpius:

Host Gerry says:
The USS Scorpius had arrived at her destination in the Badlands area of the Cardassian Demilitarized Zone.

Host Gerry says:
An Ambassador-class vessel that read USS Scorpius on transponder frequencies appeared briefly, and detonated in a brilliant warp core breach, after telepathically contacting the OPS officer and warning them to alter course.

Host Gerry says:
The Operations Officer on the Scorpius has called out to the Captain regarding a telepathic contact with...herself...warning of impending disaster.

Host Gerry says:
Accordingly, The Captain, Commander VanSickle, had ordered all stop, then launching probes into an area of ion surges directly ahead of the Scorpius.

Host Gerry says:
The probe apparently split into 7 probes, all with different quantum-level readings.  The OPS officer and TO have been developing a theory...

Host CO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Recovered from the flu, commander?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:

OPS-Anari says:
<Inn>: Checking power allotments

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Negative.  Forgive my absence.  Permission to return to post

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::at tactical station on the bridge::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Granted.  Make sure thrusters are on station keeping.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Double-checks her information... ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  I wonder what Lt Anari has found.

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Aye Sir.  ::returns to the helm and relieves the stand in::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: Let's find out.  *OPS*: Bridge to Anari...

OPS-Anari says:
*CO*  Sir!  I was just going to comm you...

FCO_Vince says:
::quickly checks over thruster control... still on station keeping::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*OPS*: What do you have?

OPS-Anari says:
*CO* Well, I have a working theory here...

OPS-Anari says:
*CO*  There seems to be a type of 'bend' in space where the ion spike is located

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*OPS*: Is it dimensional?

OPS-Anari says:
*CO*  I believe it to be, sir.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::thinks she understands:: *OPS*:  So space in that region is distorted due to the bend ...

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*OPS*: What kind of information did those probes have?

CIV_Horn says:
::Enters the bridge::

OPS-Anari says:
*XO*  Right...kinda like how a light bends when it passes through a prism...

FCO_Vince says:
XO:  Commander, I'm a bit out of the loop.  Although I don't know what's the situation, everything feels... familiar...

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::hears FCO:: FCO: Explain, Vince?

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Ever have Deja Vu?

Host Susan says:
::stands and stretches after looking over the probes:: OPS:  I believe you're right, it's fascinating.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Somewhat.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods:: *OPS*:  That would explain some things ... but one question has to be answered ... if this is dimensional, how come you remember it?

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  I've been feeling it quite a bit

OPS-Anari says:
:: Looks over at the TO and nods... ::   TO:  Isn't it though?    :: Excitement in her voice... ::

OPS-Anari says:
*CO*: The quantum energy is different with each probe...and the particles spins are different as well

OPS-Anari says:
*XO*  I'm not sure I can explain that one...could be my telepathy

FCO_Vince says:
::feeling very confused now::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*OPS*:  And this relates to the next question ... can we repair the damage?

CEO_S`Tran says:
::standing in ME looking at readouts::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*OPS*: Did you get anything from them?  Any logs or anything else like that?  Did I send myself a message?

OPS-Anari says:
*XO*  I'm not sure yet even how to.  We have to find the source of that ion spike first

TO_Lane says:
OPS: The question now, is how do we fix it?  Or can we?

FCO_Vince says:
::looking over his sensors, trying to make sense out of them::

OPS-Anari says:
*CO* Five of the seven probes retrieved have collapsed upon themselves, sir.  Every time I touch one of them...they disappear

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*OPS*: Don't touch them, then.  Just scan them.

OPS-Anari says:
*XO*  I didn't get anything that read the ion spike was mechanically produced...it could be a naturally occurring phenomenon...

OPS-Anari says:
:: Taps her comm badge... ::   *Inn*:  Anari to Inn...

TO_Lane says:
::studies the remaining probes:: OPS: It's like they can't really exist here since they should have been destroyed in their own dimensions.

OPS-Anari says:
<Inn>*OPS* Go ahead E'Laina...

OPS-Anari says:
*Inn* Have you been able to detect if the ion spike is a natural phenomenon?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*OPS*:  Understood.  Try to find a way to repair this ...

OPS-Anari says:
CO/XO/*OPS*:   I can't detect that it isn't naturally occurring....  My guess is that it is

OPS-Anari says:
*Inn*:  Thanks Phillip

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Inn: Can you get a fix on how big that field is?

OPS-Anari says:
*XO* Understood, ma'am

FCO_Vince says:
::stands reading the current status reports and logs to get caught up::

OPS-Anari says:
<Inn>:  It is relatively wide...and it's hard to judge at the moment.  I'm trying to get that information now...

CEO_S`Tran says:
::moves round ME, making sure that his people are working well::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Inn: If we have to continue on to that Maquis depot, we have to find a way around this without getting ourselves blown up.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Works on finding a solution to the rift ::

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  I can try to plot a course around it, if possible

TO_Lane says:
*CTO* Do you think detonating a quantum torpedo within the fracture would cause it to implode?

OPS-Anari says:
<Inn> CO:  If we can't, sir, you may want to set nav buoys and go around it

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Agreed.  I think warning buoys are a good idea

FCO_Vince says:
::scanning the region to see if the Badlands can be reached without going through this ion rift::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Inn: Launch buoys at 50,000 km intervals starting dead ahead and working to the left.

OPS-Anari says:
<Inn>:  I'm getting some information on the edge of this rift sir...

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*TO* Good question, but without more information, I couldn't be sure.  For all we know, that will just waste a torpedo.

OPS-Anari says:
<Inn>CO:  Aye sir...    :: Prepares nav buoys ::

TO_Lane says:
*CTO*: Wouldn't you be able to determine that using the information we have on it to run simulations?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Work on simulations with what we have.  See what a quantum torpedo will do.

OPS-Anari says:
*XO*  Anari to Commander Horn

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*OPS*:  Go ahead, Lt.

TO_Lane says:
::rolls her eyes as she tries to resist touching the remaining probes to see what would happen::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*TO*: That is what I am about to do.  Stand by, I will let you know.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Inn: How big is this thing?

OPS-Anari says:
*XO*  I think it's going to take a while to determine how to fix this rift.  I would suggest placing buoys around it and going around it

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Running simulations now, Ma'am.

TO_Lane says:
::winks at OPS:: OPS:  Men...

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*OPS*:  Already done, Lt.  We are also running simulations to test Ensign Lane's quantum torpedo idea.  Your input would be welcome.

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Sir, according to my nav sensors, we can fly around the rift to reach the badlands

OPS-Anari says:
<Inn> CO:  The rift is about...   :: Fingers still flying over console as information comes in... ::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::calls up information on the computer about the rift, its properties, and what quantum torpedoes will do to it::

CEO_S`Tran says:
::moves over to his office, takes a seat, and starts twiddling his thumbs... whilst reading reports of course ::

OPS-Anari says:
*XO*  Yes ma'am.  There's not much more I can do here.  I'll be on the bridge shortly

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*OPS*:  Understood.

OPS-Anari says:
<Inn>  :: Launches the first set of nav buoys... ::

CIV_Horn says:
CO: I would suggest sending all our readings and findings to Starfleet.

OPS-Anari says:
CO: At this time, I am getting information on the side that faces us...

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CIV: Agreed.  See that it gets done.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::moves around to the Tactical station:: CTO:  Anything yet?

CEO_S`Tran says:
::starts to purr as the reports slowly disappear into the read pile::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Inn: How wide is it?

FCO_Vince says:
::plots a course around the rift and locks it on standby::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Nothing yet.

OPS-Anari says:

OPS-Anari says:

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Inn: 12 microns?

OPS-Anari says:
<Inn>  CO:  Yes, sir...12 microns

TO_Lane says:
::enters the turbo lift:: Computer: Bridge

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Inn: Open a channel to the Trovestor.

FCO_Vince says:
Inn:  If that configuration isn't artificial, I don't know what is

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::moves back around to her chair::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Enters turbo lift... ::

TO_Lane says:
::leaves the lift:: CTO: What happened with the simulation?

OPS-Anari says:
<Inn> FCO:  Not necessarily...not if this resembles properties belonging to a prism

CEO_S`Tran says:
::leans back in his chair, wondering what’s going on on the bridge...::

OPS-Anari says:
Turbolift:  Bridge...

FCO_Vince says:
Inn:  Oh, I thought it sounded like a square

OPS-Anari says:
<Inn> FCO:  It does sound kinda square, huh?   :: Grins at the FCO ::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Feels the lift slow and exits onto the Bridge ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Inn: You have the Trovestor?

CEO_S`Tran says:
::shakes his head... gets back to the reports::

OPS-Anari says:
<Inn> CO:  They are still off to our side, sir...

Host CO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Trovestor: Gul Matraan, this is Cmdr. VanSickle, come in.

Host Gul_Matraan says:
COMM: Scorpius:  Trovestor here.  This is Gul Matraan.  

FCO_Vince says:
::goes back to scanning and waiting to fly us around the rift while the others do what they're doing with the buoys::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Moves over to the TO... ::

OPS-Anari says:
TO: The XO wanted me to help with something?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Trovestor: Gul, we might be trying to go around this ion field.  Our junior operations officer said it measures 1.5 light years high, 1.5 light years wide and only 12 microns thick.

OPS-Anari says:
<Inn> :: Launches the next set of nav buoys... ::

OPS-Anari says:
<Inn> :: Prepares next set of nav buoys ::

Host Gul_Matraan says:
COMM: Scorpius: CO: Intriguing.  Can we have a look at your data?  it's certainly out of the realm of anything we've seen before...

Host CO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Trovestor: Of course.  I'll have the information sent over.  Inn: Transmit the data.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Hears the request of the Gul... ::   CO:  I can download that to the Cardassians, sir

TO_Lane says:
::looks over the CTO's shoulder to see how the simulation is coming:: OPS: I think she meant him.  

Host CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: OK, go ahead, Anari.  COMM: Trovestor: The information is on its way.

OPS-Anari says:
TO:  Sorry...    CO:  Aye, sir

OPS-Anari says:
:: Punches a few buttons on the Science console and retrieves the information for the Trovestor, sending it to them... ::

TO_Lane says:
::shrugs:: OPS: No problem, I'm curious myself as to how things are going.  CTO: Need any help?

OPS-Anari says:
<Inn>  :: Launches the next set of buoys and prepares the next set ::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: No.  You may go do something else.

CEO_S`Tran says:
::having read several uninteresting reports, heads over to a replicator:: Replicator: Dozen donuts, varied types

TO_Lane says:
::shrugs:: CTO: Sure, whatever you say.

Host Gul_Matraan says:
COMM:  Scorpius: CO:  You have my thanks, Captain.  it was a...strange thing was it not?  But I fear we have some errant Federation citizens to pursue.  Let us know when you want to get on with it.  Trovestor out.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Sees the information off to the Trovestor then moves to the CTO ::   CTO:  Is there anything I can do to assist, sir?

FCO_Vince says:
Inn:  Let me know if we need to reposition for launching the buoys

Host CO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Trovestor: Gul Matraan, would you be willing to following us, actually mirroring us, around this field, staying at your present relative position to us as we move.

TO_Lane says:
::moves over to the secondary tactical console:: CTO: Did you try setting the torpedo to cause a reverse effect to the ions?

OPS-Anari says:
<Inn>:  FCO:  Will do...right now, we're doing fine, sir

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: So far, all the simulations show that using a torpedo will just waste that torpedo.

CEO_S`Tran says:
::takes the donuts, heads back to his desk, and starts writing a readiness report for the CO::

TO_Lane says:
::looks at the console and taps a few keys:: CTO: What about using the deflectors?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Stands patiently waiting for the CTO to answer her... ::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: Is the rift something solid?

OPS-Anari says:
::  Looks around the bridge and sees Vince is back at his console and smiles to herself... ::

Host Gul_Matraan says:
COMM: Scorpius: CO:  Of course, Commander.  Just feed us your course data and I'll have my helmsman do it.

OPS-Anari says:
<Inn>:  Launches the next set of buoys and prepares the next set... ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Trovestor: I'll have my helmsman send you information of is plan.  Scorpius out.

TO_Lane says:
::shrugs:: CTO: Not really, more like a tear in space.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Beginning to feel funny just standing around... ::   CTO:  Um...sir...is there anything I can assist with?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
OPS: Sorry, E’Laina, I was too engrossed in the simulation, didn’t mean to ignore you.  What do you think of the TO's suggestion to use the deflectors?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Have you made a full plot around that field?

OPS-Anari says:
CTO:  Can you fill me in with that whole suggestion?  Deflectors to do what, sir?

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Aye, Sir, Standing by

Host Gul_Matraan says:
::cuts communication::  TFCO:  Just do it.  These Federations seem to be in no hurry.  I suppose it isn't their space.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Send the course to the Trovestor's helm.

TO_Lane says:
::overhears the CTO and OPS:: OPS: Using the deflectors to reflect the ion burst back into the fracture.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Sir, I hate to raise this, but what would going around this thing actually do to us?  Are we just going to have the same problem as the other Scorpius we saw?

OPS-Anari says:
<Inn> :: Launches next set of nav buoys prepares the next set ::

FCO_Vince says:
::Prepares and uploads the course to the Trovestor::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Thinks hard... ::  TO/CTO:  I'm no Scientist...but it's worth a try I suppose

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: If we go through that field, I believe that we will be destroyed, like the other Scorpius before us, and may be others before her.

CEO_S`Tran says:
::munching away on the donuts... writing about the current crews morale::

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Transmission complete

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*CEO*: Bridge to engineering..

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Ma'am, TO Lane suggests using the deflector to reflect the ion burst back into the rift

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  What do you think?

CEO_S`Tran says:
*CO*: Engineering here sir, how may we be of assistance??? ::wipes powder off his whiskers::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: I think that it's worth a try.  everything else we tried with the simulation didn't work.

OPS-Anari says:
CTO:  If there is nothing else...I'd like to resume my position, sir.

TO_Lane says:
::keys in the information to attempt a simulation::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
OPS: Of course.  Sorry I didn't have anything else for you to help with.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Test the theory and see if you can get a frequency that will do the trick.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*CEO*: S'Tran, prepare the warp engines for a possible move around the field.

TO_Lane says:
::starts the simulation and waits for the results::

CEO_S`Tran says:
*CO*: Aye sir. Ill make sure they work well

OPS-Anari says:
:: Nods ::   CTO:  Thank you, sir...    :: Moves to her position tapping Phillip Inn on the shoulder... ::   <Inn>: Thanks Phillip.  Status?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Looks over the TO's shoulder, watching her simulation::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: AQilla, what is this about closing the field?

OPS-Anari says:
<Inn>: Still sending nav buoys out...that's about it.  Everything else is looking good, E'Laina.

TO_Lane says:
::walks over to the replicator and orders a hot chocolate, then heads back to her console after retrieving the mug::

TO_Lane says:
CTO: Nope, won't work.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Ms Lane came up with an idea that might work .... We want to try using the deflector to reflect the ions back on themselves ... in theory it may close the rift.

OPS-Anari says:
Inn:  Thanks Phillip   :: Takes her seat as Phillip leaves it, looking over to the FCO and smiles ::

CEO_S`Tran says:
::moves out into main engineering, and gets his people working to make sure the warp core and engines are up to speed::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Self: Damn. TO: It was a good idea, ensign.  Got any other ideas?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: Has it been run through simulators?

TO_Lane says:
::looks up and sees the CTO looking over her shoulder and jumps, splashing hot chocolate all over both of them:: Self: Ouch!  ::grumbles under her breath::

FCO_Vince says:
::turns to see Anari take over OPS, and smiles and winks to her::

OPS-Anari says:
~~~ FCO:  I'm glad you are back. ~~~

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::jumps back as the hot chocolate spills on him:: TO: Well, I didn't mean that idea. ::frowns::

TO_Lane says:
CTO: Yeah, it would be a good idea to change uniforms and get rid of this sticky goo

XO_AQilla_Horn says:2
CO:  Doing it now, Sir.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Sends the next set of nav buoys out and prepares the next set ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::moves over to where the TO and CTO are:: CTO:  Progress?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: If we had the luxury of time, we could do that.  However, a bit of goo wont harm us.

CEO_S`Tran says:
::having set his teams working, and made sure of a report on the end, he moves back into his office, and his donuts::

TO_Lane says:
CTO: Well, what did you think would happen standing that close to someone?

FCO_Vince says:
~~~OPS:  Yeah, me too.  I missed you~~~

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: well, the deflector idea came up a bust.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::looks at them:: CTO/TO:  Is there a problem here?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Smiles as she hears Vince... ::   ~~~ FCO: So much as happened.  Are you feeling better? ~~~

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Darn ...

TO_Lane says:
::rolls her eyes:: Self: Won't hurt anyone with skin like leather he means...  ::looks up at the XO::  XO: No, Ma'am.  The simulation failed, the deflector won't work either.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: Ensign, get used to the idea of my looking over your shoulder.  Since I am the CTO here, I tend to do that.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: No go?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Launches the next set of nav buoys and prepares the next set ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  No, Sir.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: Then we'll have to circumnavigate the field.

FCO_Vince says:
~~~OPS:  I think so.  Maybe I'll dwell on it when I have time.  Maybe in about 10 years~~~

OPS-Anari says:
:: Giggles lightly at FCO's psionic comment... ::

TO_Lane says:
CTO: Looking over my shoulder is one thing... ::whispers under her breath... once I get use to things a bit better:: But inches?  ::sighs:: Yes, Sir.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods:: CO:  It seems to be our only option at this time.

FCO_Vince says:

Host CO_VanSickle says:
FCO: You have that course ready, commander?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::repeats her question:: CTO/TO:  Is there a problem here?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:

FCO_Vince says:
::pushes a couple of buttons on his console::  CO:  Aye, standing by

CEO_S`Tran says:

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::looks skeptical but says nothing ... decides to bring this up later::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  As the Scorpius warps around the Dimensional Fracture, the Cardassian Trovestor mirrors the course around it and then goes to warp 3 as the Scorpius does...

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  I'll take it easy and see how it goes, and accelerate accordingly

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: Ensign, watch your tone of voice with the Cmdr.  

Host CO_VanSickle says:
FCO: How far until we reach the edge of the field?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  I think I can handle it, Lt.  But thanks anyway
