USS Sharikahr NCC 81204
10404.29
Host Gilles says:
The Sharikahr continues its investigation near what is left of the Paulson Nebula.
Host Gilles says:
The Rutt Sensors have been taken offline and standard sensors pallets are now used completely.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::returns to his chair, sitting down slowly as they return to the burned system::
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The Captain's char squeaks
CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
:: monitoring tactical sensors ::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::In sickbay, slowly going through things, each one a memory.::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::looks down, frowns, and turns his attention back to the screen:: CTO: What are the radiation levels like in the system?
FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
::Inching the Sharikahr back to where the Nebula had been.::
CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
CO:  Radiation levels have decrease exponentially since the Nebula has burned itself out.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::nods:: OPS: Can we handle the drain on the shields?
OPS_Ens_Kain says:
::Checks his console:: CO: I'm running a few tests to find out, sir.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Sighing, she sits back and looks around her office.::
FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
::Looks around.:: All: How close can we get within safety limits?
OPS_Ens_Kain says:
CO: It's a pretty thin line sir. But I think we can do it. ::Rearranges the way the EPS grids route power to the shields, yielding higher power flow::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::passively:: FCO: As close as we have to, to find out what happened. Maintain course, take us up to full impulse.
CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
FCO:  With the current shield strength we can go into the nebula quite safely.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Let me know if the drain becomes a problem. ::turns:: CTO: Begin long range scans of the epicenter of the explosion.
CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
CO:  Aye Sir.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::With a sigh, stands up and heads out of her office and out of sickbay.::
FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
CTO: Thank-you ma'am that's what I wanted to know so I can keep this course up to date.
OPS_Ens_Kain says:
CO: Will do sir.
CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
:: begins long range scans ::
FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
CO: We are on Course Captain.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
FCO: Very good, Lieutenant. OPS: Eric, give me an image of the epicenter, maximum magnification.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Steps onto the turbolift.::  Computer, bridge.
OPS_Ens_Kain says:
::Taps on his console and glances up at the screen::
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The Epicenter shows up on the viewscreen. The CTO detects gravity beginning to form directly in the center.
CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
:: looks twice at the readings :: CO:  Sir, sensors detect gravity forming directly in the center, beginning detailed analysis.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::As the turbolift stops, she steps off onto a rather quiet bridge.::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Walks over toward her husband.::
CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
:: runs the detailed analysis and waits for the results ::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
CTO: Understood. Self: Problem number two in our list of scientific impossibilities. ::looks up as Kela enters, then turns back to the viewscreen:: CTO: Do we have an origin for this gravitational field?
OPS_Ens_Kain says:
::Watches the power readouts closely::
CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
CO:  It is the exact epicenter of the explosion Sir.
CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
:: looks up ::  CO:  Sir, it would seem that the fabric of space in that area has been damaged.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Stops behind his chair and follows his look out through the Main viewscreen.::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::crosses his legs, watching the little icon of the Sharikahr approach the phenomenon::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::reaches his hand over his shoulder for his wife's hand::
FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
::Begins to compute the increase stress of the inertial dampeners with the gravity "well".::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Slips her hand into his.::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::squeezes it softly:: CTO: Ready a Class III probe.
FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
CO: Could very well be a gravity well, I suggest we hold distance until science can make a determination.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
CO:  Do you have something in mind?
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::nods:: FCO: Agreed. All stop.
CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
CO: Aye Sir.  :: begins to ready a probe ::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::looks up:: CMO: What I have in mind is that we're missing something. Nothing here has happened by accident. I'd bet my pips on it.
CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
FCO:  According to sensors it isn't just a gravity well.  The fabric of space has been damaged.
OPS_Ens_Kain says:
::looks around the bridge and then back down at his console, making sure that everything still read as it should::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Prepare a download stream from the probe Lieutenant Nash is preparing. CTO: Prepare to fire as soon as Mister Kain is ready.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
CO:  You don't think it was a simple accident?
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::looks back up again and shakes his head, keeping his own counsel for now::
OPS_Ens_Kain says:
CO: I'm ready with the download, sir.
CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
CO:  Probe launched.  :: looks back at the readings, furrows her brow ::
CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
CO:  Sir, now the gravitational field is decreasing. :: shakes her head ::  I don't get it.
FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
CTO: That would mean a space time rift of sorts that could spread throughout the universe unless it gets sealed.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Split the viewscreen and put the streamed data from the probe on half. Lets see what it sees.
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The probe does not make it to the center.... it stops it's advance it's engines still pushing it forward yet its momentum has stopped.
CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
:: looks at the readings :: CO:  Sir....now I am reading negative gravity.
OPS_Ens_Kain says:
::nods and does as he's told:: CO: Aye sir.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::frowns:: CTO: Negative gravity? FCO: Reverse thrust on the probe. Try to pull it out.
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: Matter begins to be expelled from the center of the disturbance.
FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
::Gains manual control of the probe and places it in reverse.::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::narrows eyes at the new development:: CTO: Deflectors up. Yellow Alert!
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::To know one::  Odd...
CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
CO: Aye Sir.  :: pushes a few buttons :: The probe is returning.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
CMO: You'd better sit down...
CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
CO:  Aye Sir.  Yellow alert .  :: pushes a few more buttons. ::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Takes the counselors seat and watches.::
CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
:: looks back down at the readings :: CO:  Sir!  The fabric of space is tearing!
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
FCO: Full astern!
FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
CO: Aye, full reverse.
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: Space begins to distort and twist. "Something" seems to be trying to push through.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Gets up and walks over to the science console, and begins to scan the area.::
FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
::Looks up at the screen.:: All: What in the....?
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
FCO, back us off to 100,000km and hold us there. Plot an escape course at warp three. ::thinking quickly in his compulsive Vulcan way::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::leans over and whispers:: CMO: Is Sickbay prepared for injuries?
FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
::Maneuvers the vessel.::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Looks up and quietly replies.::  CO:  Always.
CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
CO:  Sir, it looks like something is trying to come through.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
CMO: Discovering what this is might have a price. ::meets her eyes, then straightens up, painting back on his game face::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
CTO: So it does, Lieutenant. Any idea what yet?
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Nods and turns to look down back at the sensors.::
CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
CO:  Not yet Sir.  :: never taking her eyes off the sensors ::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::grim:: CTO: As soon as possible, Lieutenant.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Ready auxiliary shield generators for operation and set them on Standby Auto. Shut down any systems we don't need to take the strain off the EPS grid.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Shakes her head::  CO:  I am not reading anything on sensors to help us out here with what is trying to come through.
OPS_Ens_Kain says:
::Nods:: CO: Generators standing by, sir.
OPS_Ens_Kain says:
::Works on shutting down the systems that are less important::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::turns one burgundy eye on his wife:: CMO: Do a quantum signature check. If gravity is working backwards, maybe everything else is too.
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: Space is torn and the sensors read a "hole" has been formed.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Nods and makes the adjustment to the sensors.::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
CO:  A hole has been formed.
CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
CO:  Confirmed.  A hole has formed.
FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
::Checks the stress the situation is taking on the Sharikahr.::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::whistles softly:: All: Something to tell the grand-kids. ::straightens in his chair:: FCO: If our probe is still in good repair, guide it to the aperture.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Quietly::  CO:  Something is coming out.
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: An energy mass of unknown composition pushes its way through the hole.
FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
::Checks to navigational stuff of the probe.::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
CO:  I am unable to pin its composition down.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::nods at Kela:: CMO: What kind of radiation readings are we getting off that thing?
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: An energy mass that is approximately 100 meters in diameter breaks out of the hole just as it closes completely
CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
CO:  Sensors don't know what to make of it Sir.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
CO:  Unknown energy mass, 100 meters in diameter.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::quietly:: FCO: Standby reverse course.
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The Energy mass fades and seems to disappear sideways through space.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
What the...  ::Tries to get a lock on the energy mass.::
FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
::Gets the probe fixed and sends it back in with some extra thrust power.::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
CTO: Track it!
FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
CO: Already on it Captain.
CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
:: looks back at the sensors....outloud :: All: What the.................?
FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
All: Probe away again.
CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
CO:  Impossible Sir!
CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
CO:  It is already gone Sir.  No way to know where it went.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
Self: #*@(&! CTO: Well do what you can. Collate whatever readings we did get and give them to Kain for transmit back to Command. I don't think this thing ended up on our side of the fence by accident.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
CO:  I think I have something... or at least a thought.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
CMO: Do tell.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Turns to look at him::  CO:  Think of it as two dimensional.  Only, we are two dimensional to it.  I do hope that made sense.
CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
CO:  It's possible it could even be a form of transwarp Sir.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
CTO/CMO: Whatever it is, we have to find it. FCO: Back us off. I don't think we're going to find out much more that's useful here.
FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
CO: How far sir?
CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
:: nods ::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::exhales softly:: FCO: Home, Amber. Take us home.
FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
CO: Aye sir, home.  ::Engages at cruise speed.::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Looks at Jyg curiously.::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::stands:: All: I'm not entirely certain what happened here. Maybe what Kelandra suggested is what happened, or maybe the explanation is even stranger.
