Host Gilles says:
The USS Sequioa reached the freighter a few moments after the Sharikahr. The Captain of the Sequioa appeared on the viewscreen and requested the transport of the corpses to his vessel. Information showed that this Captain McIntyre was once the Operations Officer of the Annapolis. The same ship that was destroyed years ago.

<<<<<<<<<< Resume Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::stands with her arm braces to full height::  COM: McIntyre: Captain I am sure that you can understand our uneasiness at the situation.  I don't suppose there is anyway that we can confirm that you are who you say you are is there?

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Sitting in her chair on the Bridge. She looks at Captain McIntyre on the viewscreen as she listens to Keely ask her question::

Host SCO_McIntyre says:
@ ::nods:: CO: I understand your uneasiness Captain.

CTO_Lt_K`Vas says:
:: stands at tactical and makes sure all systems are ready for battle at the CO command ::

CEO_Ens_Toran says:
::down in ME ready to engage full warp to get the heck out of here if needed::

CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::waits for the Captain to answer the question::

CIV_Lt_Mrlr says:
::at the flight console looking up at the viewscreen and at the officer who is supposed to be dead::

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Tries to get a "reading" on McIntyre as she looks him over::

Host SCO_McIntyre says:
@ ::nods:: COM: Shariklahr: CO: I am just here to recover my comrades... I can tell you that we will be monitoring the Pi Stanilus system with you... just ... well.. you will not see us.

CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::raises an eyebrow::  COM: McIntyre:  Interesting.

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::She listens to McIntyre, still wondering how he is here if he should be dead. McIntyre appeared to be calm and collected and his mind showed the same thing::

Host SCO_McIntyre says:
@ COM: Sharikahr: CO: This cloak & dagger stuff is what I chose, I hope you understand.  By the way... Ummm... "We were never here"  ::grins::

CTO_Lt_K`Vas says:
:: listens to McIntyre :: Himself : lo'Be Vos

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Raises an eyebrow at McIntyre as she looks over towards Keely and back at the screen::

CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::smirks at him::  COM: McIntyre: Well you will have to pardon us but I don't think it wise to transport the bodies to you.  We have been experiencing unexplained energy surges.  Perhaps a shuttle would be better?

CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::turns back around to take a seat... looking directly at her XO for confirmation about what he is saying::

Host SCO_McIntyre says:
@ COM: Sharikahr: CO: Oh... right... those surges  ::rubs chin:: Ummm... they should be fixed now... Ummm.. we caused them indirectly mind you.  We can transport the bodies over if your CEO wants to check his engines now... all should be fine.

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::She nods towards Keely confirming that so far.. he is legit::

CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::sits and looks back at him curiously::  COM: McIntyre: You caused them... why ever for?

CTO_Lt_K`Vas says:
:: listens hoping that the SCO might tip his hand with what he is saying ::

Host SCO_McIntyre says:
@ ::rubs neck:: COM: Sharikahr: CO: It was supposed to be for.... ::sighs::  Ummm... someone else.  So was the distress signal as well. ::rubs back of neck:: I am sorry... but I can't tell you more.

CO_Capt_Cephas says:
COM: McIntyre: And what is to become of the ship?

CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CSO: Please make sure the bodies are ready for transport.

Host SCO_McIntyre says:
@ COM: Sharikahr: CO: What ship ?::puts on his best innocent look:: There is no ship here ::smiles::

CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CIV: Please lay ready a course back to the Pi system.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: Ready when you are

CIV_Lt_Mrlr says:
::gives the viewscreen on more look and shakes her head:: CO: Aye ma'am. ::lays in a course:: Course plotted.

CTO_Lt_K`Vas says:
:: looks over the Sequoia wondering just what its full capabilities are ::

CO_Capt_Cephas says:
COM: McIntyre: It will take us some time to get back to the system, may I request your appearance for a dinner... between two Captains.

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Raises an eyebrow at the Captain. There is something that he is not telling them.. well many things she believes::

Host SCO_McIntyre says:
@ ::shakes head:: COM: Sharikahr: CO: I'm not here either... though ::grins:: It would have been fun... safe journey Captain.

CO_Capt_Cephas says:
COM: McIntyre: We will transport momentarily then.

CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::motions for the CTO to cut the transmission::

CTO_Lt_K`Vas says:
:: cuts the transmission :: CO: Transmission terminated captain

Host SCO_McIntyre says:
ACTION: After a few hours the ship is underway leaving the freighter, bodies and the Sequoia behind.

CO_Capt_Cephas says:
FCO: ETA, Lt.

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Sitting in her chair still thinking about the Sequoia::

CIV_Lt_Mrlr says:
CO: 10 minutes, ma'am.

CO_Capt_Cephas says:
All: Very good... same approach as last time people.

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::She taps her Combadge:: *CEO*: Chief, what is your status down there?

CTO_Lt_K`Vas says:
:: stands at tactical monitoring systems ::

CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CSO: Make sure to use passive scans only please.

CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CSO: Anything on LRS before we do though?

CEO_Ens_Toran says:
*XO*: We can reinstitute the stealth program momentarily Sir.

CO_Capt_Cephas says:
*CEO*: We are back at the system, please monitor the gas exhaust.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: Nothing at this time

CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::smiles as the speak at the same time::  *CEO*: Very good.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::switches to passive scanners::

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
*CEO*: Great Chief. You are doing an excellent job. ::She looks towards her side console::

CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CIV: Take us back in a zig-zag pattern to that sensor buoy.

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: A Planetary distress signal is coming from Toroth III. Immediate assistance required.

CTO_Lt_K`Vas says:
:: remembers his days as CEO on another ship.  Thinks that the CEO might just turn out to be a decent officer ::

CIV_Lt_Mrlr says:
CO: Aye ma'am. ::starts to zig and zag::

CTO_Lt_K`Vas says:
CO: Captain I have an incoming planetary distress call...they are requesting immediate assistance

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::She taps a few buttons on her side console, nothing of any interest shows up. She looks up as she hears the CTO::

CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::eyes narrow::  Assistance... how far away?

CEO_Ens_Toran says:
::exits the turbolift, hears the CTO:: All: What... a... shock...

CTO_Lt_K`Vas says:
CO: The signal is coming from Toroth lll

CO_Capt_Cephas says:
XO: I don't think this can just be happenstance.

CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CSO: What is our distance from Toroth III?

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Nods:: CO: I agree Captain. I do not believe so either. ::Sighs a bit, wondering why they need assistance::

CTO_Lt_K`Vas says:
:: taps his console to clean up the signal :: CO Reports coming in from the planet, they are expecting multiple asteroid impacts.  One will cause an extinction level event unless stopped.

CEO_Ens_Toran says:
CO: What if we left a shuttle behind here?

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: We are 3 hours away at warp 9

CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::grimaces and turns to her XO::  XO: My gut tells me it is another wild fowl run, but can we actually take that chance?

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CO: Mine tells me the same thing Captain. ::Pauses for a moment:: CO: Our options are to go there, which leaves this area open yet again or as Ensign Toran suggested, leaving a shuttle behind, but that may not be wise.

CEO_Ens_Toran says:
All: It doesn't even have to be manned... although manned would be better.

CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CEO: Prep it.

CEO_Ens_Toran says:
::heads for the turbolift:: CO: Yes Ma'am.

CTO_Lt_K`Vas says:
XO: Commander maintaining that high a warp for the hours is within ship tolerances.

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CTO: Understood Lieutenant.

CO_Capt_Cephas says:
XO: I will not order it... but would you be willing to stay behind... we have to find out what is going on here.

CO_Capt_Cephas says:
XO: If you don't we will just leave it unmanned.

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CO: I would be happy too Captain. I would suggest the Runabout. ::Smiles a bit:: CO: I want to find out what is going on here.

CO_Capt_Cephas says:
XO: Inform the CEO of the change.

CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CIV: Lt how about you?

CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CIV: Care to give the XO some company?

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::She taps her Combadge:: *CEO*: Please prep a Runabout Ensign.

CEO_Ens_Toran says:
*XO*: Aye.

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
*CEO*: Thank you. ::She looks over towards Mrlr::

CIV_Lt_Mrlr says:
CO: Of course ma'am.  But since it is merely a surveillance job...don't you think it wise for the commander to stay on board and assist you?  It doesn't take anything to sit behind a rock and monitor.

CEO_Ens_Toran says:
::installs the stealth program on the runabout, including modifying the Ion emissions::

CTO_Lt_K`Vas says:
XO: Commander I would be honored to volunteer to assist the CIV in surveillance

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CIV: Lieutenant, I understand your objection, however if there is not a better reason that I will be going.

CEO_Ens_Toran says:
::also grabs some staff to install some extra photons and tries to optimize the shields::

CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::looks at the data on her console::  ALL: Wait... it doesn't look like we could do anything for that planet if we wanted to.

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Turns to Keely:: CO: Meaning what Captain?

CTO_Lt_K`Vas says:
CO: Captain we will need to hurry if we are to assist the planet, we may be able to extend a warp bubble around the asteroid to change its weight but it will require us to arrive as soon as possible

CO_Capt_Cephas says:
XO: Look at this ::puts it up on the screen::  It would take a miracle to do it.

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::She looks over the information on the screen:: CO: Interesting.. however. ::Pauses as she continues to read it::

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Points to a part of the report:: CO: Look here.. we may be able to pull it off.

CEO_Ens_Toran says:
::works to make sure the runabout will be harder to spot, as well as able to hold its own in a fight::

CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::nods:: XO: Ok I see what you are saying.  CSO: If this is just surveillances... what if we leave a probe behind... would there be much different in what the two could tell us

CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CIV: Prepare a course to the planet.  Max speeds

CIV_Lt_Mrlr says:
CO: Aye ma'am. ::plots the course and hits the big button to make them go:: Course laid in and engaging at maximum warp.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: I can prepare a specialty probe that would garner as mush information as possible for when we return

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::She taps her Combadge:: *CEO*: Chief, disregard the Runabout. We have a change of plans.

CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CSO: Do it and fast

CIV_Lt_Mrlr says:
<edit out hitting the big button>

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::programs the probe:: CO: It's ready to deploy as soon as you give the word

CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CSO:Now

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::deploys the probe::

CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CIV: Let's go as soon as it is done

CIV_Lt_Mrlr says:
CO: Aye ma'am.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: I've established telemetry. It will continue to gather data while we are gone. Depart at will.

CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CSO: Thank you Woody.

CIV_Lt_Mrlr says:
::hits the big button:: CO: Engaging maximum warp.

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::She looks towards Mrlr as she engages warp. Now they would have three hours to wait::

CO_Capt_Cephas says:
*CEO*: I need you in Main Engineer right now.

CO_Capt_Cephas says:
*CEO*: Keep me apprised of the engines

CEO_Ens_Toran says:
*CO*: Aye Ma'am.

CEO_Ens_Toran says:
*CO*: Will do.

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::She makes a few notes on her side console about the situation and sends it to the department heads that are not currently on the Bridge::

CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CSO: I need to you to work on coming up with a miracle for when we get there.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: Would I let you down? ::smiles::

CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CTO: Watch the LRS and let me know if you see anything.

CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::smiles back at Woody for the encouraging smile::

CTO_Lt_K`Vas says:
CO: Yes captain.  Do you want active or passive scans?

CEO_Ens_Toran says:
::monitors the engines, making sure max warp is holding steady, while also reading up on generating subspace bubbles around large objects::

CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CTO: Active.

CTO_Lt_K`Vas says:
:: taps in the command for active sensors :: CO: Aye captain active sensors on line
