USS Sharikahr Mission # 342

Space, the final frontier...These are the adventures of the USS Sharikahr in her continuing mission to bring peace where conflicts may arise, to explore new worlds untouched by the eyes of men, and to brave the darkness of the last vast, unknown.
A huge fleet is assembled in Nuevo Tejas's orbit. Forty five Ships of all size, age and color are gathered around the planet. From the station a pair of eyes could not miss the huge Trailblazer Class transports, brand new and some of the largest ships ever built, but these ships could not make the voyage without the help of the much smaller tug ships or the robotic probes and repair ships.
There are 65,000 colonists aboard those ships. They come from all corners of the Federation and headed to Arcadia a small paradise more than 400 light years and months of travel away.
Overall it is a huge endeavor, a gargantuan effort for everyone, even more for the USS Sharikahr and her smaller companion the USS Minerva, only two Federation ships with huge the task of guiding and protecting the colonists.
Things are surely going to be interesting from now on.

Host Enrico says:
<McKay>: COM: CO: Captain, I believe we are ready to go.  Whenever you feel like.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::just as shortly:: CTO: Acknowledged.
Host Enrico says:
<Landry>: COM:CO: Captain, I must congratulate you and your crew for the job done so far. Good luck. We will keep an eye on you as long as we can.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::looks at the screen::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
COM: McKay: Understood.  The Sharikahr will take its position and we will disembark.  COM: Admiral: Thank you, Admiral.
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
:: Hums, and mumbles "Here I come to save the day! while on the turbo lift::

ACTION: The Admiral face disappears from the screen and the surface of Nuevo Tejas as seen from orbit takes its place.

Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
Helm: Helm, take us to our position.  XO: Commander, signal the fleet to disembark; impulse until clear of the system and then an appropriate warp speed based on the capabilities of the convoy ships.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
CO: All ships report that they are ready sir
Host Enrico says:
<FCO_Polo>: Aye Sir, taking position.

CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::gets the acknowledgements from the fleet, compiles them into one response and forwards them wordlessly to the XO::

ACTION: The ship tighten their ranks using thrusters and adopt a more compact formation, all shuttles land in the respective shuttle bays.

CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
:: Moves over to the captains side::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Turns to his left ::  CMO: Doctor?
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::gets the transmission and forwards the response to the CO::
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
CO: I'm ready to head over to the just the San Sebastian just need your OK before I do.

ACTION: The Gortuk and the Velkar, the Klingon Birds of Prey, start moving forward taking point in front of the convoy.

Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
CMO: Try not to take over too much, Commander.  :: nods ::
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
<I'm ready to head over to the San Sebastian>
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
CO: Me? Never.  Wouldn't want to risk my fun Sir.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
CO: The Klingons are in position, captain. :: relays the coordinates of the birds to helm to use as a point of reference::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
CMO: Might want to go before we hit warp speed.
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
:: Nods:: CO: Right away.  :: Turns and heads off the bridge::
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
:: Almost skips the rest of the way to the shuttle bay::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Considers taking his seat, but decides not ::  CSO: Mss So'tsoh, what is the condition of our guests?
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
CO: The Klingons are going to warp, sir. They report all clear.
CSO_LtCmd_So’tsoh says:
:: Looks over at the captain::  CO: They are well settled.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::without looking in her direction:: XO: Commander, I've also submitted a battle drill schedule for your approval. I want to begin implementing the drill series starting with alpha shift tomorrow morning, with your approval.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::coolly:: CTO: I'll review it and have it back to you ASAP
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
CSO: I'm certain that well settled takes on an entirely new meaning for annelids.
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
:; Scurries into the shuttle bay and onto the Moosestream:: FCO: Off we go, quick quick.
CSO_LtCmd_So’tsoh says:
:: Lifts a brow and turns back around::

ACTION: Once the CMO is seated in the shuttle, the vehicle takes off and heads toward the San Sebastian nearby.

XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
CO: The other ships are wondering why we are still in orbit
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
XO: The order to move out was yours to give, Commander.  :: Raises an eyebrow ::
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
CO: I gave it sir.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::raises an eyebrow of his own, then shrugs up a shoulder and brings the new sensor systems to maximum::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Turns forward ::  FCO: Helm, are we reporting engine trouble?
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
CO: It must have been lost in the COM traffic. I will send it again. ::resends the go order and instructions::

ACTION: Finally the whole fleet moves out of the planet's orbit at a quarter impulse. The show of these many ships moving together is majestic.

CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
CO: Permission to leave the bridge, sir. With a little work, I may be able to make an improvement to the intra fleet comm. network.
Host Enrico says:
<FCO_Polo>: CO: The engines are purring like kittens....gotta love what Gael..uhmmm Commander Delgado did to them.

ACTION: Nuevo Tejas slowly disappears as the fleet increases speed to full impulse.

CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
@ :: Goes for a walk of the medical facilities once aboard the SS.::
Host Enrico says:
<FCO_Polo>: CO: 5 minutes to the warp speed limit sir.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
CTO: Understood, Lieutenant.  Work with engineering.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::nods, and gets up:: All: I'll be in the tactical center, then. This'll require direct access to the intra fleet net. ::heads for the lift::
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
@:: Is excited over what is there:: Self: Ok, no jumping for joy till you are alone.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::steps into the lift, and tilts his head a degree to one side:: TL: Deck 5. Tactical section.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
XO: So far, this seems smooth.  What is the ship's pools indicating to be the most likely time for our first disruption?
Host Enrico says:
<FCO_Polo>: Captain we have hit the limit. Ready to go to Warp.
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
@::Makes it to her office in top level of the hospital ship, and smirks:: Self: Oh, I’ve died and gone to heaven.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
FCO: Move with the fleet.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::inhales sharply as if she is keeping in a laugh:: CO: Actually the earliest time had us breaking down in orbit of Nueva Tejas so I'd say we're good.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::steps off the lift on deck 5, and enters the tactical center... immediately he's greeted by multiple personnel, all of them either looking at displays, running diagnostics, tuning weapons, or getting ready to go on patrol... *all* of them are armed::
Host Enrico says:
<FCO_Polo>: CO: Aye sir. Move with fleet until you order them to go to warp sir.
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
@::Sits in the big comfy chair and spins around:: Self: Look at all of this stuff...I can run so many projects at once...
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Wonders when things became so precise around here ::  FCO: The order was granted when the fleet began to move.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::the display in the middle of the room shows exactly what the tactical readouts on the bridge display, only in more detail... he glances briefly at it, then moves to his communications officer:: Ensign Renal: We're having some loss issues with the intra fleet net. Can we get a look behind the scenes?
Host Enrico says:
<FCO_Polo>CO: Oh ok Captain, but you are no fun...::sends a message to all the other ships::
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
@::Brings the chair to a stop, and takes a good look at what’s on the desk::

ACTION: At the right time each ship jumps to warp. The colonists' ships first then each other ship. The Minerva closes the line in the rearguard following a few seconds later.

XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::continues monitoring messages from the fleet::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::Donavin and his communications officer move to a vacant console, and pull up the code that governs the communications array::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
XO: Not only have we not broken down in orbit, we've successfully engaged warp drive.  Allow us to revel in the small victories.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::smiles:: CO: I'm reveling on the inside sir.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
XO: Understood.  :: with a nod ::
CSO_LtCmd_So’tsoh says:
:: Her sensors tied in with all the other ships, she allowed the computer to proccess the incoming telemetry.  This would be an interesting experiment of coordination and speed.::
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
CO: The fleet reports that they are green across the board as well.
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
@:: Brings up the computer and logs into the medical roster::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::nods as he has a look, then makes a slight adjustment:: Ensign Renal: There. Now try applying a narrow band filter, and try running the warm re-initialization routine. Last thing we need's the commander coming down here because we lost contact for 5 seconds.
CSO_Lt_Cmdr_So`tsoh says:
XO:  All ships navigational computers appear to be well coordinated.  The Klingons have jumped ahead though.

TIME JUMP: The fleet travels for three weeks at warp 7 and it is 40 light years closer to destination. The trip has been mostly uneventful so far. It's gamma shift, in the middle of the night.

CSO_Lt_Cmdr_So`tsoh says:
:: In her quarters, going over reports, Shá in bed and her cousin sitting on the couch writing something up.::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::in the holodeck, one of his security teams gathered around him, all of them with phaser rifles:: Team: Improved, but not enough. We'll do this same thing tomorrow. Dismissed!
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::in her quarters, reviewing the days important COM traffic::
CSO_Lt_Cmdr_So`tsoh says:
<Teyol> :: Tossing his PADD aside he stands and stretches.::  CSO:  This has got to be the quietest mission I have ever been on.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Seated on the couch in his ready room, Savar sets aside the PADD he is reading and picks up the next in the pile.  Even in the digital age "paperwork" seems to multiply ::
CSO_Lt_Cmdr_So`tsoh says:
:: Looks up and over:: Teyol: Kindly do not jinx the situation.
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
@:: In a science bay working with a group of doctors::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::his team turns to leave, and he waits until the last one does so before doing the same, and heading back to the TIC::
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::looks at a picture of the kids on her desk and sighs::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
<OPS_Lt_Varn> :: Rests his chin in his left hand, sitting in the command area.  He spurns the Captain's seat in favor of the XO's chair - it's more comfortable ::
Host Enrico says:
<Conn_officer>*CO*: Captain the Black Orchid is reporting a serious problem. They just went out of warp speed.
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
@:: Writing on a large board as they all brainstorm ideas on how to cut down on variables on their current project::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
*CONN*: What kind of problem?
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::reaches the tactical center, and goes to put away his weapon, changing out of the tactical gear and looking very much the model officer::
Host Enrico says:
<Conn>: *CO*: Their greenhouses depressurized. They are venting atmosphere seriously.
CSO_LtCmd_So’tsoh says:
<Teyol> :: Smiling he saunters over to her desk and reaches down to take the PADD from her hand.::  CSO: Let's go to the gym.  I need to burn off some energy.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::moves into the tactical office, and pulls up his chair, filing away the team's training results, firing the compilation of the day's results to the XO for approval::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Thinks for a moment ::  *CONN*: Signal the Minerva to drop from warp and assist.  Have Varn take us to the rear position, and signal the fleet to drop speed two warp factors to allow them to catch up later.
Host Enrico says:
<Conn> *CO*: Aye Sir. Hailing the Minerva and the rest of the fleet.
CSO_LtCmd_So’tsoh says:
:: Opening her mouth to tell him no, she stops:: Teyol: All right.  Shá should be fine.  I will just leave him a note should he wake.

ACTION: People still awake on the Sharikahr may feel the ship is slowing down from the different vibrations on the hull.

CSO_Lt_Cmdr_So`tsoh says:
:: Noting a change in the engines, she looks up at her cousin.::  Teyol: I warned you...
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::gets the report just as she finishes her last  and is about to read it as she feels the ship slow::
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
@::Crosses off a few variables and the team splits up to make the improvements.  Yawning, heads for the office to get something to eat::
CSO_Lt_Cmdr_So`tsoh says:
*SO Archimedes*: Status report.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
*CO*: Is there a problem sir?
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::raises an eyebrow as the ship slows, and moves into the center proper to get a look at the tactical information::
Host Enrico says:
<Conn>*CO*: Captain the Minerva is hailing us, would you like to take it in your ready room?
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
*XO*: The Black Orchid has reported atmospheric containment problems and dropped from warp.  I dispatched the Minerva to assist, but dropped the speed of the convoy to allow them to catch up.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
*CONN*: Agreed.  :: Stands and moves to the desk, activating the computer terminal and communications portal ::
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
*CO*: Should I come to the Bridge?
CSO_Lt_Cmdr_So`tsoh says:
<SO Archimedes> *CSO*: The Black Orchid has dropped from warp.  Their greenhouse depressurized.  We are dropping back to the rear position and slowing to allow them a chance to catch up as soon as they are repaired.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
*XO*: Stand by, Commander.
CSO_LtCmd_So’tsoh says:
*SO*: If you need me, let me know.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
*CO*: Will do sir ::keeps the line open and decides to change back into her duty uniform just in case::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::noting the change in fleet position, moves to one of his officers and gets the situation as relayed by the bridge crewman, nods and orders tactical personnel to hot standby:: Self: Millicent'll kill me for doing this... ::shrugs it off, and pulls up a seat to watch the situation unfold::
CSO_Lt_Cmdr_So`tsoh says:
<SO Archimedes> Varn: Lieutenant, sensors are reading the Olympian is beginning to vent atmosphere.
Host Enrico says:
<CO_Minerva>: COM: CO: Captain, it looks like someone is not going to eat fresh vegetable for a while. All the Black Orchids greenhouses have been broken.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
COM: Minerva: Explain...
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
@:: Stretches out in the chair, and reviews the last week of medical experiment on the  Klingon heart::
CSO_Lt_Cmdr_So`tsoh says:
<SO Archimedes> :: Scans the ship to discover where it is coming from.::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
<OPS_Lt_Varn> SO: ... a second ship?  This is a bit odd.  CONN: Conn, signal the fleet to drop from warp.  Get me McKay, or his duly appointed representative.... time for the colonists to pitch in with dealing with this
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::finishes up the report on the technical exercise as she waits to see if she is needed::
Host Enrico says:
<CO_Minerva>: COM: CO: It is weird, it is like someone opened all their glasses all together, and no emergency field turned on. Crew is reporting having problems with the main computer.
CSO_LtCmd_So’tsoh says:
:: Letting her cousin drag her out of her quarters, she wonders what might have happened::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Feels the ship dropping from warp ::  COM: Minerva: The convoy has dropped from warp.  I expect another problem.
CSO_LtCmd_So’tsoh says:
<SO Archimedes> Varn: Sir, it is their greenhouses as well.
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
@::Dozes off::

ACTION: All the ships in the fleet drop out of warp...the Olympian is visibly venting atmosphere.

CSO_LtCmd_So’tsoh says:
<SO Archimedes> :: Informs the CSO::
CSO_LtCmd_So’tsoh says:
:: Stops to listen::  Teyol: You might have to go on your own.  I should head for the bridge.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::lets the center know he's heading for the bridge, and then does so as the fleet drops out of warp::
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::decides to head to the bridge::
