Host CO_Fowler says:
Jax: no, not that ::grins at him:: As you know we have had many things happen to us since the Emissary took control of us and the ship.
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
SO: Ensign?
SO_ENS_Semaj says:
XO: Sir?
LtCmdr-Nicholas_Jax says:
CO: Actually, I've been meaning to follow up on that, but I have NO idea what happened.
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::taps console again:: *Bridge* Sickbay to bridge, please respond.
Host CO_Fowler says:
Jax: Stress levels among the crew have been high and some seem to be handling things better than others.  I'll have the appropriate information sent to you.  But the main thing I noticed in your file is that you have held the position of Counselor
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::turns in his chair a bit:: SO: Semaj, scan ahead as far as our sensors will allow in this... soup. Run probability tests on where the next anomaly would be expected to converge, and see if it is anywhere near the planet. And by near, I mean  within 200kilometers.
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
::begins completing the code for the nanomachines and has Crewman Harding gather up several for testing::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
*CTO*: Maybe we should try detonating it at the precise time that the anomaly is formed.

XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::opens the comm:: *CMO*: Bridge here. Go ahead, Doctor.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
*CSO*: That's worth a try......maybe a bigger charge as well?
Host CO_Fowler says:
Jax: Good. Now the reason I called you here.  We need a Counselor and I want you to fill that role.
SO_ENS_Semaj says:
XO: Aye sir.  Give me a second to set up the probability tables for the program.
LtCmdr-Nicholas_Jax says:
CO: Oh?
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
SO: Let me know what you find.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
*CTO*: Bigger, more focused, who knows.  That's what these simulations are for.
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
*XO* Commander, I thought I would inform you that for the moment I think we've gotten all the data we can get from the Wanderlust nanomachines. If there are any further breakthroughs I'll inform you, but I doubt it.
SO_ENS_Semaj says:
::Begins punching commands in the console, fingers flying rapidly over the board::
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:

XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
*CMO*: Understood, Doctor. Table what you have for now, and send me a full report. What is next on your agenda?
LtCmdr-Nicholas_Jax says:
CO: Well, that came as a bit of a surprise.. but I think I can handle it
Host CO_Fowler says:
Jax: Yes.  I've noticed a few crewmembers that are acting out hostilities.  I want a Counselor to be available to talk to them.  And to let me or Jyg know who else might be ready to snap
SO_ENS_Semaj says:
XO: Sir, when you have a minute, I would like a word with you, in private.
LtCmdr-Nicholas_Jax says:
CO: No Problem, I will need access to the ship's medical profiles
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
::makes some adjustments, bigger charge, more of a pressurized field, and changing the shape of the charge to a more focused point::*CSO*: Here it comes Ike
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::glances back:: SO: All right. In a moment, Ensign.
LtCmdr-Nicholas_Jax says:
CO: Is there anything specific you want me to do? Or you just want me to wander around and talk to the crew?
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::taps his console:: *XO* A report should be on it's way to you now, Commander. As for what's next, I'll be running the radiation readings by Commanders Knight and Ikari for the shielding improvements
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
::looks up as Crewman Harding arrives with the nanomachines, then instructs her on how to prepare them for re-coding::
Host CO_Fowler says:
Jax: You'll find them ready at your station on the bridge.  We'll find a room for you to use as an office.  let me or Jyg know if you need anything else.  I'd like you to observe the bridge crew first.  We have had to restrict Lt. Horn to her quarters and I don't want more of my bridge crew to fall into that trap.
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
::downloads the code onto his padd and walks into the engineering lab with Harding following with the nanomachines, promptly placing them in the proper positions::
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::nods to the voice alone:: *CMO*: All right, that will be a great help. Also, liaise with Lieutenant Brax and see if you can assist with his nano-comm program. he's running short on time.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
*CSO*: Ike, I'm missing something very basic here......We know the flows are energy........is an explosion really going to divert that energy or should we work on some sort of deflection barrier?
LtCmdr-Nicholas_Jax says:
CO: Oh my... I should get started right away... with your permission, and your authorization with the computer, I will start right away...
SO_ENS_Semaj says:
XO: I have that information for you.  It seems sir, that the anomalies can't form near the planet due to the subspace radiation present.
Host CO_Fowler says:
Jax: After that, observe the rest of the crew.  I will note in my Duty log your 'promotion' to CNS.  Once we get back to our space, I'll ask Starfleet to make it official
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::blinks slightly, nano-comm?:: *XO* Yes Commander, I'll get right to that. Maylen out.
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::Raises his brow:: SO: you're certain it's subspace radiation?
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
*CTO*: I got to thinking about something like that.  If an explosion caused this, it could be possible that an implosion will revert it.
LtCmdr-Nicholas_Jax says:
CO: Thank you Captain
LtCmdr-Nicholas_Jax says:
::Stands::
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Indicates for Jax to follow her out of the RR:: Jax: Your station is ready for you
CNS_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Let's the captain walk first::
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
*CSO*: That's what I was missing......I was thinking of blowing things out instead of in......so we need to figure out what to use to cause the implosion at the anomaly site?
Host CO_Fowler says:
Jax: You should find everything ready and waitng for you. ::Moves out across the bridge and indicates the chair to the left of hers::
CEO_Lt_Brax says:

CNS_LtCmdr_Jax says:
XO: It's great to be back... I think ::winks::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
*CTO*: Since we're dealing with energy and not any physical matter, we'll have to deal with an energy implosion, I think.
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Anything exciting happen while I was gone, Cmdr ::Raises an eyebrow::
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
SO: Because this is the only place subspace is present within several light-years...
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
::mumbles briefly about interruptions::  *CMO* Lt. Brax here, go ahead Doctor.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Sits down on his chair and taps in his keys to open up the Bridge Crew's medical files::
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
*CSO*: Agreed......and we'll have to make sure we have complete control of it or we could end up in something worse ::shudders at that thought::
SO_ENS_Semaj says:
::Closes his eyes to try and get control on the anger for missing something that obvious::
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::glances back:: CO: Possibly... Ensign Semaj says that the radiation around the planet is confirmed to be subspace.
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
*CEO* Commander Ahkileez suggested that I might be able to help you on some 'nano-comm' endeavor?
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
<FCO> ::looks back:: CO/XO: We're approaching orbit of the planet, Captain.
Host CO_Fowler says:
FCO: Good Ens. Find a spot where we are somewhat protected from the radiation and then effect an all stop
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: That is an interesting thing
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
*CMO* It's actually almost done, though I would liked to have tested it more..  Have you uncovered anything new about them?  The current programming code is based on what we already knew, so if you discovered something newer, it would be of use.
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:

XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
*CEO*: Bridge to Brax. Report.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
*CTO*: I was wondering... what do you suppose would happen if those 10 strands that we converging actually connected?
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
*CEO* No, you have the most current information available to us, I'm not sure there is anything else to find out about these nanos.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Looks at his console, then look at the CTO behind him::
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
::good grief..  do I need to turn my communications off or something?  *CMO* I would agree Doctor, Brax out.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
*CSO*: It might just bring Real Space back to its proper level if they did, maybe?
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
::completes the code downloading::  *XO*  Commander, the nanomachines are ready..  I'm heading to the bridge now, we need to decide the best way to get them onto the planet..  ::exits engineering lab for the bridge::
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
::Notices Cmdr Jax:: CNS: Welcome Back Commander
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
*CTO*: It's a very intriguing possibility, unfortunately, our computers can't predict the outcome.
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
*CEO*: Understood. See you when you get here. Bridge out.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jax says:
CTO: Thank you, Commander ::grins::
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
*CSO*: I know, but I'm not giving up
SO_ENS_Semaj says:
*CSO*: Ike, I have confirmed that the radiation signature around the planet is subspace.
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
<FCO> ::moves the ship back behind the moon where the flow is interrupted:: CO: All stop, Captain.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CNS: You're welcome
CEO_Lt_Brax says:

CNS_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Turns and looks at the XO for a quick second and turns back to his files::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:

XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::notices Brax:: CO: Captain, Lieutenant Brax is ready for his attempt at communication.
SO_ENS_Semaj says:
*CSO*: Sorry, sir.  If it hadn't been for the XO pointing out the significance of the readings, I would have overlooked it entirely.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Looks at the Captain and tries to access the file again::
CNS_LtCmdr_Jax says:
Outloud: Hmmm
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Good Cmdr. ::notices Brax::
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
CO/XO: The nanomachines are ready and have been programmed to seek out and initiate communications with any core machine intelligence they can find on the planet.  Once you get them there, they will take over from there.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
*SO*: No use being sorry over something like that.  Inform me if anything major comes up.  Ikari out.
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::nods:: CEO: What's the delivery system? Torpedo casing?
SO_ENS_Semaj says:
::Still fights to regain the control he needs::
CNS_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Notices the CEO and pulls up his files::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
*CTO*: How about if we put an anti-energy field at the point of convergence?
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Hears Jax and glances over at him, then back at Brax::
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
XO: Up to you and the Captain to decide Commander..  they could probably standup to transport, though I would advise against it..
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
*CSO*: If we can contain it, that just might do the trick
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO/CEO: Torpedo casing sounds like the best way to go, then
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
XO: Torpedo casing that opens after landing would be much safer
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
CO/XO: Either that, or direct delivery via shuttlecraft..
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::brings up all the data he has on the radiation they encountered on the planet and looks through it::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
*CTO*: I'll run it through the computer, see how she flies.
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO/CEO: That part I disagree with, it's too localized. I think we can detonate it in the lower atmosphere.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CEO: Just let me know and I'll have Main Weapons prepare one for you
Host CO_Fowler says:
CEO: Noted. Let’s try the casing first
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
*CSO*: Okay Ike.  Thanks!
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
::nods::  CO: Aye Captain..  I have enough nanomachines prepared for 2 attempts.. you could probably fit 3-4 of them per casing and be safe on spacing..  I have a total of 25 programmed
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
CO/XO: I wouldn't advise using more than 12-13 of them in our first attempt, but that if up to you two of you to decide.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:

CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
::alerts Main Weapons Bay to have torpedo casings out and ready to be adapted however the CEO needs::
CNS_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Finishes reading the important stuff and pays attention to the crew and the mission::
Host CO_Fowler says:

SO_ENS_Semaj says:
::Thinking about the annoyance in Ike's voice, the rage continues to build::
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Yes ma'am.
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CEO: Set up a first round of two casings with Commander Knight.
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
CO/XO: I can, of course, program more, but that will take time..  Do keep in mind that they will scavenge the entire planet searching for the core intelligence..  therefore, the more you use, the quicker they will find it, if any exist.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
*CTO*: The anti-energy field, it stopped the flows from moving, but only at the point of the anomaly.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Watches the view screen::
Host CO_Fowler says:
CEO: Noted, Lt.
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
::nods and dispatches Crewman Harding, along with PO3 Jenkins and CPO Rogers to the Torpedo Room::
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
*CSO*: Wonder what would happen if we managed to expand that field to a larger diameter??
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::sits back to rest again, sighs::
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
CTO: Commander, I have 3 of my personnel heading to the torpedo room with the nanomachines and reconfiguration instructions for the casing..  They will actually load the nanomachines into the casings once your people reconfigure them, if that is ok with you...
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CEO: That's fine Lt
SO_ENS_Semaj says:
::Motions for another science tech to take over the station and heads for the turbolift::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
*CTO*: My guess would be that it would freeze the flows.  You know, theoretically, with one anomaly frozen, another could open up.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Notices the SO and looks up his medical file::
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::sits back in his chair again and looks at the world:: CO: Salvation or Damnation...
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
<Ens Storm>: Ensign, I want you to fully cooperate with the Engineering team heading your way
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::shakes head and sits forward, getting back to the data;:
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
*CSO*: What if it opened one back to real space?
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Let's hope for salvation, Cmdr. ::holds up her hand with her fingers crossed::
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CEO: The torpedo team has been notified Lt....it's your show
CNS_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Observes CO & XO's conservation::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
*CTO*: Well, right now, I don't think that would happen, given what we know of the other anomalies.
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::smiles:: CO: I always liked those quaint Earth customs.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
*CSO* : Wishful thinking I know......but we're on to something here Ike, I can feel it
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
::nods::  CTO: Let's hope this works..  or that something is there for the nanomachines to contact
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Grins back at him:: XO: Well I think a little good old fashioned luck could help about now
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CEO: Most definitely Lt.
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::gets all his data together, taps his console:: *CTO/CSO* Maylen to Knight and Ikari
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
::receives report from CPO Rogers::  CO/XO/CTO: My team reports that the first group of 5 nanomachines is loaded and ready.  The casings are set to open themselves and free the nanomachines 5 seconds after landing.  Ready when you are Captain.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
*CTO*: If we could trigger the opening of an anomaly, we could get a nice domino effect; opening and freezing.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
*CMO*: Knight here Dr.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
*CMO*: Ikari here.
Host CO_Fowler says:
CEO: Let's do it, Lt. ::Nods at him::
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
::configures the monitoring software of the nanomachines for his station on the bridge and instructs Ensign Bradkins in ME to do the same::
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
*CSO*: That would be a big step
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
::nods::  CTO: Fire the casings when ready Commander.  ::prays to the gods of latinum that this works::
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::looks at the dead world:: CO: On Vulcan they don't believe in luck. ::then smiles again and looks at her:: Good thing I wasn't both *there*, eh? ::shows her his crossed fingers too::
Host CO_Fowler says:
::A small laugh escapes her lips:: XO: That is a good thing
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CEO: Right away Lt.   ::Takes aim at the planetary surface and targets two separate spots:: CO: Torpedoes ready ma'am
SO_ENS_Semaj says:
::Enters the turbolift, when the doors close, screams at the computer:: Computer: MY QUARTERS, NOW!!!
CNS_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Hears the CTO and watches the view screen::
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::taps console:: *CTO/CSO* I'm forwarding you both my analysis of the radiation field around the machine planet, and a few possible countermeasures I've thought up. I'd appreciate any assistance you could give in this area.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Could almost hear someone screaming in the turbo lift::
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
::Taps the firing keypad and both torpedoes streak away:: CO: Torpedoes away
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
*CMO*: It would be my pleasure Dr.
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
::sends orders for the next batch of 5 to be loaded and he waits impact of the first 2 casings::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
*CMO*: Will do.  Would you like us to check in with you before it becomes final?
SO_ENS_Semaj says:
::Exits the turbolift and runs to his quarters entering them and locking the door::
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::watches the red streaks head toward the planet and says a silent prayer::
CNS_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Returns his attention to the crew and the view screen::
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
*CTO/CSO* Thank you Commander Knight. Ah, yes Commander Ikari, I think that would be useful.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
*CMO*: Anytime Dr.
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Calls up the information on the screen in her chairs armrest::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
*CMO*: I will make a memo, Doctor.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CEO: They should be planetside now Lt.
SO_ENS_Semaj says:
::Paces back and forth all the while, looking for something to break or punch::
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
::nods to the CTO and begins counting..  1...  2... 3... 4....  5...::
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
::switches the monitoring to on and waits for the feed to connect::
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
::looks at  his console waiting for any information that might help to come through::
Host CO_Fowler says:
Self: Please work ::Watches the torpedoes streak towards the planet::
CNS_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Realizes he needs to get new uniforms and notes it::
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
*CTO/CSO* Good, Maylen out. ::closes channel and sits back::
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::sees the red light disappear against the fractured world:: CO: Now we wait, Captain...
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION:  Sensors register the nanomachines leaving the torpedo casing
CNS_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Continues to watch the view screen::
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Nods at Jyg::
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
::frowns deeply not liking what he is seeing::
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
CO/XO: The nanomachines are not finding anything to contact.  They will continue searching until told to stop.
