CO: No energy plant side...no subspace readings even Ma'am...It's hard to get a reading on the light
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CSO: Are you able to get anything on that pulse, Commander?
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
CO: Aye, sir.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
OPS: Understood.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO: It's like subspace has been destroyed or nullified somehow in this solar system
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: Umm, this is strange sir.  Sensors are... sluggish.
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Leans down to read his screen better:: CTO: I don't like this, it is too weird.  Where is everyone?

Host CO_Fowler says:
:: Grabs Thorns arm as the ship bounces::
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: As the course correction takes effect, the ship evens out, but there is a drag on speed, as if walking into the wind.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO: Yes Ma'am I'll do that right now ::starts scanning for any other anomalies::  CO: What the??? Thank you Ma'am
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: I'm picking up energy readings from behind that moon...
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::checks sensor:: XO: It appears that there's an energy reading just beyond the moon......  it has pushing us the bottom... and the inertial dampeners couldn't compensate.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
XO: I confirm that sir
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
XO: We're slowing down sir....  The Drag coefficient is increasing..
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:

XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
FCO: Can you go around it?
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Nods to Ike::  CTO: I think you helped me as much as I kept you upright.  ::Smiles slightly::
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:

XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::nods:: FCO: Check the telemetry from Commander Ikari. See if you can find a smoother way through.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO: Yes ma'am, and we're like a log in that stream...getting shoved where it will take us I think
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
XO: aye sir.
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Nods at Thorne::
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::takes a deep breath to calm her nerves as the XO is standing so close to her, watching over her shoulder::
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::straightens finally and looks back:: CO: Captain, we should probably batten down the hatches, so to speak. If the Inertial Dampeners cant' compensate easily, we might end up with lots of casualties from people just walking in the corridors.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
::gets some different readings and isn't really sure that it's right:: CSO: Ike, do you get a reading of something like threads or bundles in this stream?
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Noted.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
CSO: Commander, can we catch the light flying the opposite direction?  Will that be a soother course of action?
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::tries to clear readings on her sensors::
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Yes ma'am.
Host CO_Fowler says:
OPS: Send out to the crew to secure anything that is loose or might be damaged
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
CO: I recommend going to Yellow Alert.
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::changes his  angle a bit:: CTO: Sound general quarters and have security double-checks all the exterior seals.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
XO: Aye sir
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
CTO: Acknowledged.  FCO: The ride will be smoother if we avoid this energy flow, certainly.
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: I concur.
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO/OPS: Then let's do it
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
<Ship wide>: General quarters, all hands to general quarters
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: Bring us to yellow alert.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
CSO: Alright.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
XO: Aye sir  ::Pushes the button and the yellow alert klaxon sounds::
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:

XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::leans down toward Fa again:: FCO: Ensign, how bumpy do you think this could get?
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
XO: Yes sir
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
XO: We'll try to go around the other way.
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Moves to her chair and sits, watching the screen::
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::directs Sickbay to start giving out hypos for motion sickness, if needed::
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
XO: I am picking up a federation signal
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::chews lips a little in deep thought:: XO: Well.. if we all fasten our seat belts, we should be fine.  If we can avoid this current altogether.. the ride will be much smoother.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
::gets a very strange sensor reading, and double checks it:: XO: Sir, you better have a look at this
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: What?
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Put it on audio, or visual. Whatever you're getting. ::walks back to Tactical carefully::
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
XO: It is embedded in a gravity pulse. Trying to decode now ::begins decoding::
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: What do you have, Commander?
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: A Beeping signal fills the bridge, everyone recognizes it immediately as a Federation Subliminal Distress signal.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
XO: It's the same thing as OPS....we've got a Federation signal...encoded in that gravitic pulse...I don't understand....is it the machines?
Host CO_Fowler says:
OPS: Where is that coming from?
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::pauses in her thinking as she recognized the signal.::
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::hears the beeping and immediate looks to Ops::
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::turns at the beeping::
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
::recognizes the signal as it becomes clearer:: XO: Trying to find the source sir
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: As the FCO's attention wavers, the ship rumbles as it dips into a turbulent current.
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
XO: Can't pinpoint the source yet. There seems to be to much interference still
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: Thank you, Command.. ::widens his stance to stay more stable::
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
::grabs Tac and holds on::
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Keep on it Alex.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::takes a deep breath:: ALL: Sorry... ::concentrates on her task once more.::
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
::Continues to monitor signal and determine the source::
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
XO: aye Sir
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::grabs his console yet again, glancing back to Ensign Fa::
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Grabs the arms of her chair and moves her feet a bit wider to steady herself::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: I've got the crew in astrometrics charting what they can.
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Can you transfer  a little discretionary power to our I-Dampeners for Ensign Fa.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
self: Now that we're half way into the current, let's just continue on.....
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
OPS: If we use Tactical sensors and Science and your sensors.. maybe we can triangulate it?
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
XO: On it sir. ::Transfer power to help smooth out the ride to the respective systems::
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::moves quickly back to his chair while the ship's stable, and sits down:: CSO: How far does this thing go?
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: So far, we can only scan out to a radius of 400,000 km, but that space is entirely filled with it.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::tries to take the Sharikahr out of the current through the shortest route.::
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
OPS: Thank you.
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
FCO: ETA to effective scanning range of that pulse?
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
XO: Nine minutes and counting sir.
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
FCO: Thank you Ensign. Update me again at three.
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
XO: I have pinpointed the source of the signal. Its coming form the light source
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
XO: Aye sir.
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: A tad rough.  I wonder what the signal is, though.  Any thoughts on that, Jyg?
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
Self: Looks like we were headed the right away after all... OPS: No more information? Just the simple signal?
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: It's just a simple distress beacon. All our ships carry them. But to project this far... it has to be a fairly big ship.
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
XO: It is a Federation distress signal
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: No ID code at the begining of the signal?
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: It could be a  trap.  No way to tell if it is coming from a real ship or just a type of probe.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::thinks:: self: Perhaps we can ride the current...
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::listens to the talk::
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::lowers his voice a little:: CO: I don't think we have much to lose at this point.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
XO: What if it came from one of the machine fleet....they had all of our tech and they had some massive ships before we were entrapped!
Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Can you get anything from that signal? Is it really a ship?
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
XO: I was unable to decode the first part. It was/is garbled
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::readjust course to go with the flow, so to speak.::
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: They advanced way beyond us in minutes, Thorne. I don't think they'd use anything as simple as that beacon.
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
XO: The signal is coming form a starship. It is to strong to be coming from a probe
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
XO: I can't get a clear fix on it's ID code....it's garbled....but it is definitely a starship
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: As the Ship enters a fast moving flow... the ship rumbles but accelerates to warp one before falling out of it as the flow turns, but the ship continues to go straight into a flow that causes everyone to lean to starboard.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
XO: Yes sir
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: True, Jyg.  But I would like some more information.  Maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Thank you... :;places his hand firmly on his armrest to keep from leaning too far to the right::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::turns to Fa:: FCO: Did we just go to warp?
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Well wishes do come true... ::smiles::
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Feels the sudden change in the ship::
Host CO_Fowler says:
FCO: What was that, Ens?
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
CSO: Aye, commander.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
::Leans as the ship leans to starboard:: Self: Wonder if this is what it was like on old Earth sailing vessels?
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::grabs his console (he's getting better at it) and brings the distress beacon up on his console, thinking maybe he can do something with it::
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
CO: We have been riding the current... and uh... came out of it.. and went back into it...
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::raises his eyebrows:: XO: Well, I guess we're warp-capable.
Host CO_Fowler says:
::raises her eyebrows:: FCO: I see
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
CSO: That means the flow of the current must be at least warp one.
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CSO: Barely... :;smiles:: Based on the transit time from our destination to here, and the speed of the subliminal pulse, can we tell how long that thing has been transmitting?
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
CO: I apologize for the ride.
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::works on at piecing together different repetitions of the beacon to at least make out an NCC or name::
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
::Scans the signal for any indication of what class ship it might be::
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
XO: We’re three minutes out, now.
Host CO_Fowler says:
FCO: I'm sure you are doing your best, Ens.  Just try to continue doing just that.  ::Gives her a grin::
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
FCO: Thank you, Ensign. You're doing good for a first-time space sailor... ::smiles::
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
XO: Sir, I can't pin a class ship down but it's definitely Federation in nature...no doubt about that
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: Time it?  I can barely tell what it is.
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: Well that's a relief. Stand down weapons for now.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
CO/XO: Thank you.  ::then blushes from head to toe, and thankful that she's facing forward on the bridge so that no one will see her, unless Alex looks this way.::
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CSO: Well, keep working on it please Shinji. I would prefer we don't go in there with our pants down.
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::applies a computer extrapolation algorithm to his work on the beacon::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: I've got some info on the light.  CTO: Are you picking this up?
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
XO: Aye sir  ::Powers down weapons systems::
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CSO: What have you got?
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CSO: I am
Host CO_Fowler says:

CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
::all of a sudden the Tac console identifies the ship:: XO: Sir, I've got an ID

OPS_Lt_Horn says:
XO: Managed to decode the Ship ID
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: A colorful metaphor, Captain. ::smiles::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: The anomaly is 500 meters across... a gravitic temporal distortion.
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS/CTO: What is it?
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::moves the Sharikahr back into a more controllable speed from the current, and continues to head towards the light.::
Host CO_Fowler says:
OPS: Try and hail them
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
ALL: USS Wanderlust NCC-732 - Wanderer Class Deep Space Explorer and First Contact Ship - Captain Alyson Wainwright, launched 2198
OPS_Lt_Horn says:

CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
OPS: Thank you Lt.
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: That ship's almost two hundred years old. We decommissioned them a hundred years ago...
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
OPS: I've never heard of a Captain Alyson Wainwright.
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: 2198?  CTO: What information do we have on that ship and Captain Wainwright?
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::brings up what info he can about the ship on his screen... maybe something could prove useful if they find it... find it intact::
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
FCO: Neither have I
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CSO: Ike, do you get that flow of separate energy flows into that distortion?
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CSO: Carve yourself out a big chunk of our backup data space, I want to make sure we record everything we have coming in, understood?
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: A Really garbled static filled signal comes back... its out of phase.
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Try to compensate, Lieutenant.
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
CO: Getting something. Trying to compensate now
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:

CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
XO: Sir if I may... perhaps the best course of action here is to do nothing.
Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Have a SEC team on stand by, in case we have to beam any of them on board
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CMO: That's the captain's decision, Doctor. Your job is to be ready.
OPS_Lt_Horn says:

CTO: Be ready with those tractors, Commander.
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Could be.  If all else fails we can send them standard code from their time on the ships outer lights
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
CO/XO: I am re-transmitting the message
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
XO: Aye sir, ready for your signal
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Good idea, Captain.
Host CO_Fowler says:
FCO: Move us in closer, Ens.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: Ok, that's a negative on a view screen, sir.  Probably.
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
<Ship> COMM *Sharikahr* Damn you Arrogant Vulcans!!  We need help... forget the logic of risking your ship, we need help.  We are stuck and we are going to die under the pressure of these flows.  Our shields are already failing, so stop playing with your pointy ears and help us.
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CSO: All right, we don't have to worry about them seeing us.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::nods, slightly nervous::  CO: Aye sir.
Host CO_Fowler says:
OPS: If they still can't read us, send out the message on the ships running lights
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: Stand ready emergency transporters if the tractor doesn’t work.
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: They seem to be able to see us anyway
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO: What about one of our probes with  our message?  Fire it through to them somehow?
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
<Ship> COMM *Sharikahr* ... We've received your reply... awaiting any help you can give us Sharikahr.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::shakes her nerves away temporarily and moves the Sharikahr closer:: XO/CO: 20 000km, 18 000... 17.. 16.. 15.............
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
CO: Aye Ma'am. ::Attempting to tap out Morse code on the external lights::
Host CO_Fowler says:
OPS: Belay that, Alex
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
XO: Aye sir, emergency transporters ready as well
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: Lock tractors as soon as you are within range.
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
FCO: Standby for full reverse.
Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Can their ship take our tractor beam?
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
CO: If they are in a time flux. They might be receiving our message on a delay
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: This may not be the best time, sir, but are we in line with the temporal prime directive here?
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::moves them to 11 000km::  XO: We're at 11 thousand km...........
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
XO: Aye sir
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
CO: Like we are receiving theirs on a delay
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::looks over at the captain and then returns his gaze to the view screen::
Host CO_Fowler says:
OPS: True, Alex
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::taps console:: XO: Engines ready sir.  we're at 10 500km and closing.......
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::makes a glance towards the CSO, then awaits the XO's answer::
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CSO: We can figure this out later, Commander. Right now we're saving Starfleet personnel.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
XO: Locked on sir, just waiting for the range to close a little bit more....FCO: Range?
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
CTO: 900km, sir... and closing....
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: Ah well, that's the whole thing with the temporal prime directive.  Oftentimes, when "figuring it out later," you'll find it's too late to fix any errors.  That's really why the prime directive's there.  ::looks around nervously::  Right?
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CMO: are your people ready?
Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Thorne, tractor when we are close enough
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::shrugs:: CSO: Your guess is as good as mine, Shinji.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::tries not to get swept away from the current::  ALL: 700... 750... 600.......  500... 400....
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO: Aye Ma'am another 300 km and I will
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
XO: On the assumption that we are going to be keeping up appearances for the time being, I have assembled a Vulcan medic team that is ready to assist.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
CTO: Ready?  350km....  325km..........
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
CTO: 300km, sir!
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::sees the distance tick down:: CTO: Engage tractor.
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
FCO: Once locked, full reverse engines.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
XO: Tractor beams engaged sir
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::makes sure the lock is secure and hits the green button::  XO: reversing engines.
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
<Ship> COMM *Sharikahr* We just lost external sensors... what's happening?  Do you need us to do anything... ::Distant thud of tractors locking on::... what was that... ::Comm ends::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::furrows his brow:: XO: Right.
Host CO_Fowler says:
CSO: Keep a scan on that ship, Ike.
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Ship fights with the currents to pull the ship through the anomaly.
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
::Diverts power form non-essential systems and re-routes to tractor and engines
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
CO: Yes ma'am.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::begins backing up at impulse, and uses the sensors to find the weakest flow, and backs into that.::
Host CO_Fowler says:
OPS: Send a message that we are using a tractor beam to move them from the anomaly
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
XO: Tractors locked and functioning,  Matching phase variance to compensate
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Try to send them some rudimentary navigation data. If they can turn the same way we're going, their engines can make this easier.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
ALL: This can get bumpy... um.. again.  ::continues to pull away::
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: Good work. Keep a careful eye so we don't blow out one of the emitters.
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
XO: Aye sir. Transmitting our flight plan so they can match. But it might take a minute for them to receive it
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Ship rumbles, but manages to pull the ship through the anomaly....
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
XO: Tractors are handling the strain so far sir
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::shakes a little in his chair but calms down now, after the hard part seems over::
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
XO: Got them!
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CMO: How are the life signs?
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO/CMO: 76 life signs onboard the vessel.  All human, save one Vulcan.
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
XO/CO: recommend extending our shields to around their ship. they did say their shields were failing
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The nearly two century old starship begins to emerge from the anomaly... looks like a smaller move compact version of a Constitution class... with no neck.
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: One Vulcan, hmmm.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
XO: We're pulling through the anomaly.
Host CO_Fowler says:
CMO: Are the life signs holding
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
FCO: See if you can find us somewhere stable turn the ship around. The tractors can maintain lock.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
::looks at the ancient ship and whistles::
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: I don't know of any Vulcans in the Starfleet at the time.
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: When the ship is through the anomaly, one of the flows is diverted and the confluence becomes chaotic and the anomaly vanishes.
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Renegade, then?
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::runs his own scans of the vessel:: CO/XO: As of now, life signs seem normal and steady
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
XO: Maintaining tractor lock on the Wanderlust sir
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Check the computer, see if the crew complement was listed
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::continues to pull the ship through:: XO: We need to go somewhere where the currents does not exist...........   ::blinks at sensor reading.::  Never mind.. the currents have stopped.  All stop.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: They did call us "arrogant Vulcans" at one point sir.  Makes you wonder about the situation that single Vulcan is in.
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Aye Captain. ::taps on his exec console, looking thru the archives for a Wanderlust::
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Nods::
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: Suddenly the signal gets visual....
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
<Wainwright> COMM *Sharikahr*.... Your human....
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
CO/XO: Getting a visual now. On screen
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
