Host Gerry says:
Episode One:  Live in the Now

Host Gerry says:
The USS Scorpius has been ordered to investigate subspace emanations from the Berhada sector on the edge of Federation space.

Host Gerry says:
Little is known about this sector of space, and this will likely result in either First Contact or the mapping of a natural subspace emission, perhaps a stable wormhole.

Host Gerry says:
The Scorpius is approximately 40 minutes from the Berhada Sector, and it is Beta Watch on the Bridge.

Host Gerry says:
Anticipation among the science department staff is rising.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*OPS*:  This is Commander Horn, Ensign.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::takes a bit of the food and eats::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  the Probe comes to all-stop and matches the orientation of the Scorpius

CSO_Bodine says:
XO: What is the surprise here :: looks at the readings the science area now getting a bit crowded ::

FCO_Hanover says:
<King> ::looks from the XO to the CIV with a puzzled look:: XO/CIV: Okay now someone needs to be making up my mind here.

SO_Zria says:
::nods to the Lieutenant:: CSO: Yes, Sir, thank you and you are?

OPS-Watson says:
:: Stammers ::  *XO*: Um...um...   Self: Get a grip, girl!   ...Ensign Watson reporting for duty ma'am!

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CMO: Would you like me to put it on you, dear?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: Yes please.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  Take over, Captain.

CIV_Serok says:
XO: Pardon me Commander.

SO_Zria says:
::watches over the readings::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*OPS*:  Consider yourself reported in, Ensign.  And welcome aboard.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::takes the locket, and puts it around the CMO's neck, clasping it in the back::

CSO_Bodine says:
SO: Oh I am Sorry, I did not mean to be rude lieutenant John Bodine, Chief Science Officer

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CMO: That doesn’t look like a gift from a person that never wants to see you again.

OPS-Watson says:
*XO*: Thank you, ma'am...I mean....sir....I mean...ma'am!

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Cori: Getting used to being the Captain's fiancée yet?  ::takes a forkful of noodles::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::chuckles to herself at the Ensign's nervousness::

CIV_Serok says:
SO: Sensor readings?

CIV_Serok says:
FCO:  All stop.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Cori_Helene> CO: I'm working on it. ::smiles::

OPS-Watson says:
:: Shakes her head ::   Self: You've just blown it with the XO, retard!

SO_Zria says:
CSO: No sir, you were not rude, it is common to expect those under your command to be familiar with you.

SO_Zria says:
CSO: It is nice to be working with you.

FCO_Hanover says:
<King> CIV: Aye, all stop. ::brings the ship to station keeping::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CMO: come, let's eat.  What would you like? 

OPS-Watson says:
:: Looks around the bridge a minute, then to her console ::   Self: It didn't look like THIS at the Academy!  Geez...now what!   :: Looks at the view screen ::

CIV_Serok says:
SO:  Did the probe stop as well?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: A piece of the chicken please.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CMO: Anything else?  

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Cori: This dish is good.  What's in it?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::gets some chicken for the CMO::

CSO_Bodine says:
:: likes the SO's modest attitude and smiles in reply :: SO: I just got here you know more then i do right now what is going on have you got anything detailed on this anomaly yet?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::smiles as she sees the new OPS Officer enter:: OPS: Ensign Watson?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Cori_Helene> CO: Now, now, now, a cook never tells her secrets. ::winks::

SO_Zria says:
CIV: Yes, Sir.  It has matched our current orientation as well.

OPS-Watson says:
:: Looks up from her console with big doe-type eyes ::  XO: a-a-a...yes, ma'am?   :: Hopes she got it right ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::reaches over to tickle Cori in the midsection::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
OPS: Nervous Ensign?  Don't worry, I don't bite ... often ....

CIV_Serok says:
:: nods at the SO ::  FCO:  Plot a course parallel to the previous heading.  One quarter impulse.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Cori_Helene> CO: Oh no! ::scoots away from the table::

OPS-Watson says:
:: Smiles nervously ::   Self: Dope!  Everyone can tell you’re a retard!

TO_Sadek says:
::arrives in his quarters and sits at the computer terminal::

CIV_Serok says:
SO:  Let me know what the probe does Mister Zria.

FCO_Hanover says:
<King> CIV: Aye ma'am. ::plots course and moves to one quarter impulse::

SO_Zria says:
CSO: The anomaly appears to be a probe of some sort and is matching our orientation.  When we were in motion, it was matching our course and speed.  When we stopped it stopped.

OPS-Watson says:
XO: Yes, ma'am

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::gets up and chases Cori::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CMO: I have been wanting to ask you a question for a long time, but every time i think of it, something stops me.  

CSO_Bodine says:
SO: Looks like a probe is motionless ... I'll try to match its design in our alien database 

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
OPS:  Don't be.  I can remember the day I first reported ... I think I was more nervous than you are now!  Please take your station, Ensign.

SO_Zria says:
::nods:: CIV: The probe is matching our course and speed, Captain.

CSO_Bodine says:
:: uses science 2 as to not disrupt scans already in process and does a cross match ::

SO_Zria says:
::tries to boosts sensors again to get a more detailed reading on the probe::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  No match is found in the database

OPS-Watson says:
:: Thinks she already is sitting where she should be according to the Academy layout... ::   XO: Um...yes ma'am...   :: Turns back around ::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CMO: Are you ready to begin your search for Mahe, your mother, and your brother?

CIV_Serok says:
SO:  Does it appear to be a threat.  Does it have any weapon readings?

CSO_Bodine says:
SO: interesting so it is specifically tailing us.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: It's interesting you would say that.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CMO: In what way?

SO_Zria says:
CIV:  It appears similar to a class 4 probe, but is capable of low warp and is completely automated.  And no, no weapons detected, sir.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::smiles at the young Ensign and moves back to the XO's chair::

CSO_Bodine says:
CIV: Nothing in our alien databases sir. i am piping all new data to our core at this time.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  We are on a possible first contact mission.  Could this have come from a society along our course?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: I've been searching for them.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CMO: Oh?  when have you found the time?

SO_Zria says:
::nods:: CSO: It is fascinating.  ::concentrates on controlling her pheromones when she notices another male officer staring her way::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The Probe closes distance slowly and an energy output increase registers on the sensors...

CIV_Serok says:
CSO/SO:  Continue to monitor it.  If it is from a new species, we do not want to appear aggressive.

OPS-Watson says:
:: Thinks to self ::   Self: What did I get myself into???  The Academy was easy!  This is REAL LIFE!   :: Takes a deep breath and concentrates on her console ::

CIV_Serok says:
*CO* Bridge to Captain VanSickle.

SO_Zria says:
::raises eyebrows slightly:: CIV/CSO:  The probe is beginning to close the distance and it's energy output level has increased.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV: Yellow Alert ... let's be cautious ...

CSO_Bodine says:
:: notes the raise in power :: XO: The probes power is rising. SO: see if you can localize the source of power in the device can we get a composition match?

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  A green beam of energy shoots from the tip of the probe toward the Scorpius...

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: Russ Horn and his brother put me in contact with someone.  He's been looking for them.

CIV_Serok says:
XO:  That seems to be the prudent thing to do.    CTO:  Yellow alert.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CMO: And did he find anything?

SO_Zria says:
CIV: There is an energy burst from the probe, Captain.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: I just received notice that he found then.

OPS-Watson says:
:: Jumps just a bit at the sound of the klaxons going off. Concentrations more on her console ::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The entire ship is illuminated with a green glowing light...

CIV_Serok says:
SO:  Shields.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Cori: I gotta take this. *CIV*: Capt. Serok, this has to be important.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  Back us off slowly ...

OPS-Watson says:
:: Sees the green light ::  Self: Ohh, how pretty!

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::sees the light bathe the room:: Cori: You see that?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CMO: Great!  When do we leave?

SO_Zria says:
::covers her eyes as the light gets bright around her and changes to green::

TO_Sadek says:
::frowns as he sees the green light from his quarters.... stops removing his uniform and exits his quarters running to the bridge::

CIV_Serok says:
:: turns her head from the viewscreen.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  the energy slices through the shields and touches everything onboard the Scorpius...and then ceases...leaving all 750 crew unconscious where they are...

CSO_Bodine says:
:: turns his head away ::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Faints::

TO_Sadek says:
::collapses on the deck::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: I'm waiting to hear for certain.

Host Gerry says:
