Host Gilles says:
The USS Sharikahr has received a distress signal from Toroth III. They have detected several asteroid fragments heading towards their planet. Should these hit, it would cause immense devastation possibly even the extinction of the life on the planet. 

Host Gilles says:
Toroth III - Population according to the last worldly population 6,394,108,700

Host Gilles says:
ETA to the system - 10 minutes

Host Gilles says:
Long Range sensors detects the first asteroid impact to hit the planet in 6.67 hours

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

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Sitting in her chair on the Bridge reading a few reports as they head for Toroth III::

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::sitting on her chair in the command area reading several reports::

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::She taps her Combadge:: *EO*: I would like a report of your status when you get a chance.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: Captain, there's something unusual here; there are several asteroids that appear to have been directed at the planet by an outside source. As is they were aimed

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: They are headed directly for the planet, it's not a natural occurrence

CMO_Ens_Cartwright says:
::is in Sickbay doing his weekly inventory::

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CSO: Sensor show anything unusual about their make up?

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: The composition is the same, only the trajectory he been altered

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CSO/CO: It is possible that someone or thing directed the asteroids towards this planet for a reason.

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
*EO*: How are those modifications coming?

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
XO: That does seem to be the logical observation.

EO_Lt_Shemara says:
*CO*: Still working on them give me 10 more minutes more.

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::She walks over to the Operations console and takes a seat. She starts to browse through some information::

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
XO: I'd have to say that’s an affirmative

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
*EO*: Will the power input to the tractor beam still be effective if we use them in a repulsing manner?

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CSO: How are the shield modifications going?

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CO: I just do not see a connection. The civilization on Toroth III has primitive warp drive. However, it would be difficult to evacuate a population that size. I just...don't understand why sending asteroids there would be helpful to anyone.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: The crew is working on it, it shouldn't be a problem.

EO_Lt_Shemara says:
CO: Yes sir, I can feed into them more power from the fusion reactors.  I will also make the modifications to the beam itself to hold its structure and intensity.

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CO: It got us away from the Pi system Commander.

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::She taps her Combadge:: *CMO*: Patterson to Sickbay.

CMO_Ens_Cartwright says:
*XO*: This is Dr. Cartwright.

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CSO: Would using a warp bubble around them be effective?

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: Captain....your idea...about the pool balls, there may be some merit in it. We should be able to manipulate the trajectory of one or more asteroids by using the tractor beam. It's worth a shot anyways

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Looks towards Keely:: CO: That is true. ::sighs:: CO: Something really is not right here. ::Hears the Doctor:: *CMO*: Doctor, I would like you to research all known information regarding the people of Toroth III. Find out if they have any significance to this system and such.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: A warp bubble would also work in tandem with the tractor beam

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CSO: What is this planet's warp status?

CMO_Ens_Cartwright says:
*XO*: I'll get right on that.

CMO_Ens_Cartwright says:
::Brings up all information on the people of Toroth III::

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CSO/CO: We could also use the Runabout and its tractor beam if we need any extra power. ::Looks over the information on the console:: *CMO*: Understood Doctor.

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CSO: I need to make sure that we are not dealing with a Prime Directive problem as well.

EO_Lt_Shemara says:
*CO*: A thought sir.

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
*EO*: Yes Lt?

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: The prime directive does not apply, they are warp capable

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CSO: Good... at least something goes right.

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CO: I have Sickbay working on gathering information on the inhabitants. Hopefully, we may have had some contact with them before.

EO_Lt_Shemara says:
*CO*: Sir if you are planning to use the repuslor beam you might be able to bounce it off the planetoid and hit the other asteroid and make it move like a bank shot in the game of pool.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
XO: The runabout could only give the Shari a boost, it's on tractor power is minimal. However, with a phase coupling installed, it could provide aid to the main tractor beam

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CSO: On the warp bubble... how many can we move at a time?  One right?

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: Only one without creating the possibility of overlapping fields, most undesirable considering the inherently fragile nature of the time space continuum

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
*EO*: Understood Lt., thank you.
XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Nods towards Woody:: CSO: Have engineering install the proper coupling. We may need the extra boost.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
XO: Aye Ma'am

CMO_Ens_Cartwright says:
*XO*: Sickbay to Cmdr Davis-Patterson

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::She taps her Combadge:: *CMO*: Go ahead Doctor.

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CO: Captain, we are currently five minutes out. ::She looks at the helm controls::

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
*EO*: I'll need you to assign a crew to put a standard phase coupling relay on the runabout, configure it to run side by side with the tractor beam of the Shari

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
DutyFCO: When we get there drop out of warp but keep us just out of orbit of the planet.

CMO_Ens_Cartwright says:
*XO*: Toroth III has a population of 6,394,108,700. The Torothians are of Vulcanoid physiology.

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
*CMO*: Understood Doctor. Have Sickbay prepare for some casualties just to be on the safe side.

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
<DutyFCO>: CO: Aye ma'am.  Dropping out of warp now. ::pushes some buttons::

CMO_Ens_Cartwright says:
*XO*: Understood Commander. Sickbay out.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: Captain! One of the asteroids had changed course...apparently on it's own ::suspicious:: There are now eight asteroids on a direct collision course. There were 7

CMO_Ens_Cartwright says:
::begins to prepare Sickbay for casualties::

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The XO slips out of the chair and bags her head on the console causing a minor cut.

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CSO: Any others besides those 8?

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Raises an eyebrow and then slips out of her chair and hits her head. She shakes her head and feels her forehead:: Self: What the..?

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: Nothing that won't burn up in the atmosphere

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
XO: Commander! ::stands::  Are you al right?

EO_Lt_Shemara says:
*CO*: All your modifications are finished.  Repulsor beam is ready for use.  Just give me a holler when you need it.

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
*CMO*: Doctor to the bridge please.

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::She stands up:: CO: I am fine Captain. ::She leaves the Operations Console and moves back to her chair::

CMO_Ens_Cartwright says:
*CO*: On my way Captain.

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
XO: Looks like a nasty little cut there

CMO_Ens_Cartwright says:
::Exits Sickbay and heads for the turbolift::

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
*EO*: Understood.

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CO: It is minor compared to many wounds.

CMO_Ens_Cartwright says:
::Enters the turbolift:: Computer: Bridge.

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CSO: I want you to start planning to use the asteroid belt like we talked about.  It is going to need to be precise in timing and strength.

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The turbolift movement is making the CMO queasy

EO_Lt_Shemara says:
*CSO*: Sir I am on my way to do it now sir.  Just finished with the repulsor beam and its configurations.

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::She feels a slight headache coming on:: CSO: Is there a way to control asteroids without being near them?

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
XO:  Still we will let the doctor have a look when he gets here.

EO_Lt_Shemara says:
::picks up her tool kit and the extra couplings and heads for the shuttle bay::

CMO_Ens_Cartwright says:
::Rubs his stomach as he feels queasy::

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: There's something else, I've run detailed scans of these asteroids. They are too dense for us to do any good with the tractor beam, even with the runabout. It's possible they are artificial in nature, scans are inconclusive at this time. But there’s no way were moving them

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::She looks towards Woody:: CSO: Is there any way that we can get an intense scan of the asteroids? Possibly so we can know what they are made of and what may be controlling them?

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CSO: ::sighs and growls a bit in frustration::

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::rubs his head:: CO: More information coming in..they're real, just unusually large

CMO_Ens_Cartwright says:
::Exits the turbolift and heads towards the Captain:: CO: What can I do for you Captain?

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
XO: Working on it now commander

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
XO: If we were to rush out to meet the asteroids and throw our strongest stuff at them what would be the result?

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CO: Our only other option I can think of is attempting to destroy them. It would cause many small particles, which should not affect the planet. However, the explosions could affect the area around the planet like their moons.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: It's the density that’s the problem. We might take out one. Or two. But beyond that, it's too late

EO_Lt_Shemara says:
*CSO*: Sir?

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
*EO*" Yes?

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CSO: Is there a way that we can somehow change their density or somehow make it that we can match their density so we can move them?

CMO_Ens_Cartwright says:
::Notices the cut on the Commander's head and walks over to treat it::

EO_Lt_Shemara says:
*CSO*: I just had a thought.  Can we use shaped charges on the asteroids so that when they blow the will blow away from the planet and its moons?

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Raises an eyebrow at the CMO:: CMO: Please make this quick Ensign.

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::nods to the CMO::  CMO: Thank you for your quick response.

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CSO/XO: What about thrusters on the asteroids themselves... would that work?

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
XO: As for matching their density, that would kill US in the process, as for changing theirs, not unless we had a giant vat of molecular acid to pour on them...unless....::thinks:::

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: Not enough time

CMO_Ens_Cartwright says:
XO: Just hold still it will only take a second. ::pulls out a dermal regenerator and begins to fix the cut.::

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CO: Exactly our time is limited. We need to think of something that is quick and effective. ::Does not move her head::

CMO_Ens_Cartwright says:
XO: There we go Commander, good as new. ::He smiles::

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
*EO*; That’s one of the more viable alternatives I've heard. Report to the bridge, you can abandon the runabout for now

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Returns a slight smile:: CMO: Thank you Doctor.

EO_Lt_Shemara says:
*CSO*: Understood on my way.

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::hears the CSO::  CSO: What have you got?

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CMO: Is sickbay prepared?

CMO_Ens_Cartwright says:
CO: Just about Captain, I'll return there now and finish my preparations.

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::gives him a quick but warm smiles::  CMO: Oh and by the way... congratulations on the promotion.

CMO_Ens_Cartwright says:
::Leaves the bridge and enters the turbolift:: Computer: Sickbay.

EO_Lt_Shemara says:
::heads for the TL and the bridge::

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
XO: We could try and alter the dimension the asteroids exist in. By creating a condition where they were only partially in phase with this dimension, we could half the density of the asteroids. It would be tricky. But if we destroyed the half that existed in this dimension, the other half would follow. With no help from us.

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Turns to Woody:: CSO: How long would it take to do this?

CMO_Ens_Cartwright says:
::smiles proudly as the turbolift doors shut at the Captain::

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The CMO's turbolift stops between decks 3 and 4.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::getting a headache:: XO/CO: There are now nine asteroids headed for the planet. XO: Let me get a mock up together and I'll let you know ASAP.

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CSO: Another one.... XO: Take us to the belt now... asap

CMO_Ens_Cartwright says:
*EO*: Dr. Cartwright to Engineering.

EO_Lt_Shemara says:
::tumbles out of the TL and onto the bridge::  CO: Lt Shemara reporting as ordered.

EO_Lt_Shemara says:
<EO Spanner> *CMO*: Yes doctor

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CSO: Do it as quickly as possible Woody.. ::Nods to the Captain:: Duty FCO: Crewman, move us to the asteroid belt. I want us there in as quickly as possible.

CMO_Ens_Cartwright says:
*EO*: The turbolift has me stuck between Decks 3 and 4.

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::turns at the noise::  EO: Are you alright?

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
XO: We'd have to use the deflector dish emitter to emit tachyon's in a regular pulse, based on a logarithmic patterns determined by how far out of phase we want them...another thought occurs to me, while I plan this

EO_Lt_Shemara says:
::turns to the CSO::  CSO: You called??

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
EO: Yes, stay up here and brainstorm with us.

EO_Lt_Shemara says:
::looks back at the Captain:: CO: Yes sir I am fine thank you.

EO_Lt_Shemara says:
::smiles:: CSO/CO: I come to serve.

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Nods:: CSO: Just get it done Woody. Use all necessary personnel and resources. This is our top priority.

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
<Duty FCO>::Turns the Sharikahr towards the asteroid belt::

EO_Lt_Shemara says:
::walks over to the CSO::  CSO: Ok Sir what can I do to help.

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
XO: I think we have a visitor with us... use the tachyons beams to see if there is a cloak ship near the belt.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
EO: I'll need you to put your team back on the runabout, in the meantime there are modifications to the deflector dish that need to be made by you personally, I'll monitor from here::Hands a padd to the EO:: EO: Feel up to it Lt?

CMO_Ens_Cartwright says:
::taps his COM badge again:: *EO*: Lt. Shemara do you read me?

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CO: Understood. I assume that you are correct. ::She leaves her seat and moves back to the Operations Console. She begins to scan for any cloaked ships near the belt::

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
XO: There is a power source coming from the center of the asteroid belt::focuses his scanners::

EO_Lt_Shemara says:
*CMO*: Sir one of my engineers did in fact answer you.  Presently I am unable to come to sickbay.

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Turns to Woody:: CSO: Any idea what it is?

EO_Lt_Shemara says:
CSO: Yes sir.

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CSO: Compare it to any past power sources we might have encounter as well.

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::remembers the past nemesis::

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
XO: As I was saying, I had another thought. Maybe we're going about this the wrong way. Something or someone is controlling the asteroids, if we could find out who and how, and take control these efforts would be unnecessary

CMO_Ens_Cartwright says:
::waits patiently for Engineering to fix the turbolift::

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CSO: I agree Commander. Hopefully we will find these people in the asteroid belt.

EO_Lt_Shemara says:
CSO: I was thinking about what I told you about the shaped charges.  We could use probes to launch them to each asteroid and from there the charges could be placed by remote to exactly where they should be placed.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: The source is unknown, but the power source is equal to that of 4 starships comparable to the Shari

EO_Lt_Shemara says:
<Ens. Spanner> *CMO*: Power should be restored in a few minutes.  There was a relay malfunction.

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Raises an eyebrow at the report:: Self: Great..

CMO_Ens_Cartwright says:
*Ens. Spanner*: Thank you.

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CSO/XO: Could it be our friends from the Sequioa?

EO_Lt_Shemara says:
<Ens. Spanner> *CMO*: It is my job sir.

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The turbolift drops like a rock 7 decks then halts.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
EO: There about to be a moot point. Use the engineering station and try and tell me what known power source could create what I'm seeing - which is the power of the Shari X 4

CMO_Ens_Cartwright says:
::falls to the floor of the turbolift with a thud::

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Looks over at Keely:: CO: I am not sure if I trust them Captain. There is just something about this whole situation and the Sequioa. However if it was we should be able to match it in our sensors.

EO_Lt_Shemara says:
::walks over to the engineering console and inputs her codes and the station comes to life::

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: It's possible

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: As the Sharikahr approaches the asteroid belt a blue energy discharge can be seen emitting from 20 asteroids. The blue energy engulfs an asteroid and before their very eyes the Sharikahr crew see a 3.8 km diameter asteroid be moved on a course directly for the planet.

EO_Lt_Shemara says:
::brings up the power computations for the akira class and makes the communication x4.

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::stands::  XO: Open comm,... ::eyes widen::  Belay that

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CSO: Woody what am I seeing?

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Raises her eyebrows and turns to Woody::

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The turbolift moves back to the level sickbay is located on an the doors finally open::

EO_Lt_Shemara says:
::turns around:: CSO: did you see that.  Can you give me the coordinates of that particular asteroid or at least triangulate that position.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: You’re seeing our nemesis at work

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CSO: How long will it take that asteroid to reach the planet?

CMO_Ens_Cartwright says:
::hurries out of the turbolift and turns around and slightly kicks the door:: Self: Stupid machines. ::He then heads to Sickbay to finish his preparations::

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
EO: Position already triangulated, have a look ::sends the telemetry to the engineering station::

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
XO: Did that blue energy power come from emitters on the asteroids?

EO_Lt_Shemara says:
::receives the telemetry and analyzes it::

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
XO: 6.59 hours

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: There appear to be a number of different sources..aproximatley 20, at the least

EO_Lt_Shemara says:
CO: Sir if I can get a modified torpedo to that particular asteroid that is controlling these things we may just be able to prevent the things hitting the planet.

CMO_Ens_Cartwright says:
*CO*: Sickbay to Captain Cephas.

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
EO: Perhaps we can use them to our advantage instead.

EO_Lt_Shemara says:
CO/CSO: Or even to the twenty or so others but We need to take out the main one.

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
*CMO*: Go ahead?

CMO_Ens_Cartwright says:
*CO*: Sickbay is prepped and ready to go.

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::She attempts to figure out what this blue light is and where it came from:: Self: Come on.. it has to be here.

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
*CMO*: Understood, thank you.

EO_Lt_Shemara says:
CSO: Yes we may be able to scramble their frequencies and then remodulate them to our advantage.  Yes that is a good way to go.

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
Self: Perhaps reverse their flow and pull them back.
