XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CSO: How would you deliver it?

::nods at Thorne:: CTO: Noted, Cmdr
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
<Beynon> COMM *Real Fowler*  What is Flow Space?

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: Well, we could try to refracting the deflector beam back it it’s source with an inverse tachyon pulse...  that would burn ours out though.
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
*CMO*: Report to the bridge. And bring your findings from the nanite investigation.
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
<Beynon> COMM *real Fowler* We won't be beaming anywhere until we know for certain its safe.
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
<Fowler> COMM *Beynon*  They have gone to red alert Captain and their weapons are primed, they are going to attack!
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CSO: Run the simulations then contact Engineering to prepare a program for it. We might not have to go to warp anytime soon so we can probably do with a damaged deflector.
Host CO_Fowler says:
COMM *Benyon* Your prerogative Captain. But you tell me what I can do to prove myself to you

CO: Aye ma'am
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::rides a TL to the bridge and steps out:: XO: Reporting as ordered, sir.
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CSO: Come up with a secondary solution, Commander. A slugging match might not suffice.

All: Well, that went well. At least no shots were fired
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::looks up:: CMO: Ahh, doctor. Good. Come here please. ::leads him over to the side of the bridge::
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:

Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: That is Thorne, that it is

::holds his hands out to calm himself:: XO: I'm going about this all wrong.  Electricity is the key.
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::follows the XO and walks over to the side of the bridge::

All: Opinions people. We need a sure fire way to prove ourselves here. I want ideas
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::ignores Shinji for the moment, allowing him to run with his hypothesis:: CMO: When you studied the specimens and we figured out how to detect them, was there any indication before hand that they might have been fake?
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Sees Dr Maylen move over by Jyg::
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
::satisfies himself that everything is in order and departs for the bridge::
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO: I still think modifying the detection program is  the key.......but I just haven't figured out how ::frowns::
Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Keep on it. ::moves up to his station:: Let's see what you have so far
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO: Aye ma'am
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
*CEO*: Lieutenant, this is Ikari.  Would it be possible to emit an energetic pulse through our deflector dish that would match the imposter Sharikahr?
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::pauses for a second and thinks, then looks to the XO:: XO: Well if you'll remember, they seemed to have trouble emulating normal, random responses... but that was in a biological form...
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
::standing in TL..  red alert and we're not dead yet, haven't been fired on yet..  this is a good thing, right?::
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO: I still think if we send a greatly intensified version of the program it would short out their "cohesiveness" somehow
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::nods:: CMO: And the 'flesh' we saw... was that a sheath of some kind?
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
::exits onto the bridge::  CSO: I'm sure we could as long as we have sensor readings on the imposter Sharikahr to match against..  but what would be the goal?
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO: But I'm not sure how to not make it look like an attack to their escort
Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: That sounds like a good start. We just need to figure out how to send it, right?
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
CEO: Just a guess, but it might... "fry" the nano-machines.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO: Yes ma'am.......it's going to have to be very strong and very quick
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Sees Brax enter and motions him over:: CEO: Brax, your opinion here please
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
CEO: You see, it should cause a power surge across all boards on their ship.  Maybe it will have the same effect that it had on those nano-machines in our holodeck.
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
::starts to answer the CSO, hears the CO, decides putting off the CO would be bad::  CSO: It's possible..  Let me think on it a second..  ::moves over to the CO:  What can I do for you Captain?
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Moves slightly so Brax can see Thorne
Host CO_Fowler says:
's board::
Host CO_Fowler says:
CEO: We need a way to send this out to the other Sharikahr to short them out, but not make it look like an attack
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
XO: Well at the time, it seemed perfectly real to us, but upon analyzing the nanomachines, it seemed to be some sort of pseudo-holographic projection... I don't quite know how to describe it.
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
::hrm::  CO: Commander Ikari's idea would probably accomplish the shorting out..  masking it from being an attack is a bit harder...
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::nods again and scratches at his beard:: CMO: Then we go low-tech. We demand a blood test. ::smiles::
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
::wait a minute::  CO: Captain..  is that ship an exact match with us?  As in 100% identical?
Host CO_Fowler says:
CEO: As far as we know, Lt. Why?
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
::Pulls up scans of the other Shari:: CEO: Lt. she is an EXACT match to us
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::can't help but think about how that heralds back to the war, grows silent for a second, then emerges from thought:: XO: Yes, a molecular analysis of the blood should reveal the presence of nanomachines
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
CO: If our command codes worked..  we could access the imposter over an open comm channel and create the surge that way..  Wouldn't be as hard to mask that from the others..  but as far as the deflector goes..  only thing I can come up with would be to fake a massive power surge through our own ship..
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
CO: and then, redirect the extra power out of our deflector, which would be "accidentally" aimed at the other ship...
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::smiles and pats the doctor on the shoulder, perhaps a little too heavily:: CMO: Good. I'll run the idea across Captain Fowler. You can take your station now. ::heads off::
Host CO_Fowler says:
CEO: You know, Lt. that just might work CTO: Thorne? What do you think?
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO: Ma'am I think we've just figured out how to payback Emissary ::smiling::
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::walks in on the conversation, allowing them to finish it::
Host CO_Fowler says:
CEO/CTO: You two work on setting that up. ::Smiles at them both::
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
CO: Of course, if you wanted to be a little sneakier, use the channel to upload a program to accomplish it for us..  Although with either option, I'm sure they would detect it being done..  which makes it a matter of keeping them from doing anything about it.
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::nods to the XO and walks to the auxiliary station, opening up the data he forwarded there and giving it a look over... just in case he missed something::
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO: Aye ma'am
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Jyg. We may have found a way to finish this
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::smiles:: CO: So I overheard, Captain. Barring that, the Doctor and I may have come up with a more diplomatic solution. One that might force them to show their hand.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CEO: Well Lt. let's see what sort of profit can be made by living to see another day
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Grins:: XO: Good, two ideas. Let’s hear your plan
Host CO_Fowler says:
::moves back towards her chair::
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
::Self: Let's see, how do we make this look like an accident::
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
CTO: Given the value of my life and yours alone, not counting the rest of the crew, I would calculate the profit margins as being quite high..  Accomplishing the task isn't really a problem..  Keeping them from doing something about it, however, is..  Ideas?
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Packard and Crossbow begin running extensive scans of the two Sharikahrs.  Shortly thereafter, the Venice does as well.
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Well we imagined that the machines were unable to mimic organic beings well enough and that they would, basically, fail a blood test. We could demand one, and have nothing to lose. They would either have to instantly be able to produce blood, or show their hand.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CEO: If things weren't so tense, I'd say we could use a phaser malfunction for the power surge.......but I don't want to get blown apart by itchy trigger fingers
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Nods:: XO: That could work.  It could seem to some as a fall back to the Founders, but it would still be a viable test
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
CTO: Neither do I..  no profit in that at all...  ::starts thinking::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
CEO/CTO: I believe the best tactic would be not letting them know anything before we strike.  Who knows how much they've advanced. I don't want to risk them being able to thwart any attempt.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO: Ma'am we’re being scanned by all three ships
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: I agree. Should we contact Captain Beynon?
Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Noted, Cmdr. Let them scan. We have nothing to hide
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CSO: So we need to do it so illogically they'll never see it coming   CO: Aye ma'am
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::looks up slightly after reviewing his data::
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Let them finish their scan and then we will contact him
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
::scanned..  ut oh.. ::  CO/CSO/CTO: Problem..  If we're being scanned, especially active, my proposal about using the comm channel is a bad idea..  The other ships would almost be guaranteed to detect it, if not immediately, then shortly after.
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::nods and lowers himself into his chair::
Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Thorne, what is the other Sharikahr doing?
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CSO/CEO: It would seem to me that whatever we do, it's got to be hard, fast, and totally unstoppable
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::Checks some ship status reports while they work out the kinks in their plan::
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO: Let me check ma'am Just one moment please
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::sends orders that the Medical teams should continue to remain at alert, just in case::
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Sits back and leans on one hand, waiting::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
CTO: Totally unstoppable?  I think it would safe to assume that that's not a possibility.  It might not be true, but it would make our attempt that much better.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO: Right now they're being scanned as completely as we are
Host CO_Fowler says:
Outloud: Hmmm
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CSO: I guess it is wishful thinking
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Could we piggyback our commbadge biosensor data over the open comm?
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: We might be able to
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CSO: but whatever we do we need to make sure it's going to give us that edge of surprise
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: But we would need to find a way to cover it so it wouldn't be found so fast.  It would still be found, if they knew what to look for
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::hopes inside of himself to avoid a conflict, still hesitant about being in battle again::
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::thinks:: CO: But if we can, we might use that as another angle. The machines showed appalling lack of skill in replicating biorhythms. If we can prove we're alive, we can prove they are not.
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
CO: Captain, even if we piggyback the signal over an open comm, the other ships might or might not detect it, depending on how close they are scanning us...  but it might be suspicious if the other ships suddenly has all those nano-machines fried...
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Taps some commands into her console::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
CEO: Well, I think our problem is over once the nano-machines are fried.
Host CO_Fowler says:
