CSO_Engstrom says:

::sitting at his console on the bridge, idly running a comparative analysis between FCO Jadahn's DNA and that of a denebian slime devil::

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

::sitting in the big comfortable chair::

CMO_Sarah says:

::in sickbay tending to the CO::

CSO_Engstrom says:

::notices an incoming comm:: ACO: Incoming signal from USS Pearl Harbor.

FCO_Jadahn says:

::trying to ignore CSO Engstroms grumbling at his new science station... awaiting orders::

TO_Horn says:

::On bridge at the Tactical::

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

FCO: Put that comm on screan.

FCO_Jadahn says:

ACO: Aye sir

FCO_Jadahn says:

::on screen::

Host CO_Patton says:

Madson: This is Commodore Patton. Your ship has been repaired tot he best of our ablities. We will now escort you to a nearby shipyard for more extensive repairs.

CMO_Sarah says:

::turns to instruct a nurse about the still incoming wounded::

CSO_Engstrom says:

::running background scans with what sensor systems are still operable, examineing the quantum signature of various spacebourne objects near the Titan::

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

COM: Patton: Understood.

Host CO_Patton says:

COMM:Madson: You should also know that my engineers have "modified" your ship so that should your crew resist in any way and not do your duty....well..I'm sure you can imagine.

CMO_Sarah says:

Nurse Arden: If they are okay, then send them to their quarters for rest, we need the bed space.

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

FCO: set course and follow the Pearl Harbor.

CMO_Sarah says:

<Arden> Aye Sir.

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

COM: Patton: I understand. Trust me, at the moment, I had no intention of resisting.

FCO_Jadahn says:

ACO: Aye sir.....................course plotted

CSO_Engstrom says:

::raises an eyebrow at Patton's comment, begins scanning the Titan's structure and systems for evidence of tampering or explosives::

Host CO_Patton says:

COMM:Madson: Very good. You seem to be every bit as good an officer as your counterpart was. Keep it that way. Patton out.

CMO_Sarah says:

<Arden> ::Begins releasing patients from sickbay::

CO_Patton is now known as AGMDave.

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

CSO: Run a scan of the ship. I want to know what those modifications were.

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

TO: Assist the CSO in running those scans.

CSO_Engstrom says:

ACO: Scan already completed. I see no sign of tampering or explosives. Any modifications would have to have been based in our computer systems. Possibly our prefix code. 

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

CMO: Can I get a report on the casualty and injured?

TO_Horn says:

ACO: Aye sir\

Host AGMDave says:

ACTION: The comm is cut. The viewscreen now shows an aft view of the USS Pearl Harbor about to form up for departure.

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

FCO: Get ready to follow them.

CSO_Engstrom says:

TO: Why dont you start sifting through the computer programming in tactical. I start with operations and work backwards, see what you can find.

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

TO/CSO: I want to exactly what you find, when you find it.

TO_Horn says:

CSO: Im on it

FCO_Jadahn says:

ACO: Yes sir ::takes Titan into formation and readies it to leave::

CMO_Sarah says:

*ACO* Things are beginning to calm down. Haven't lost one yet but 37 have been injured

Host AGMDave says:

ACTION: The Pearl Harbor signals it readiness and jumps to warp.

CSO_Engstrom says:

::brings up a calculator, taps out some numbers:: ACO: With every crew member on the Titan manually checking the computer software, we should have an exact map of any changes in 3.276 years. Give or take a few months. Im afraid exact may not be possible.

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

FCO: Engage warp.

FCO_Jadahn says:

ACO: Aye sir.... going to warp ::adjusts warp speed settings to match that of the PH, and engages::

CSO_Engstrom says:

::begins running diagnostics on the operations subsystems, using the computers own systems to check its programming faster than a human could, of course if there is also tampering in the diagnostics.... :: 

Host AGMDave says:

ACTION: Titan and Pearl Harbor fly at warp 5 towards a destination that was preprogrammed into the computer

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

CSO/TO: True, but I do need some specifics. But, the chances that the problem would only be found in the final months would be rather slim.

FCO_Jadahn says:

::just sits back and relaxes:: Self: They left a lot for me to do........

CMO_Sarah says:

::runs to an eng. carrying in a comrade::

Host AGMDave says:

ACTION: The CSO and TO begin running into security blocks within the computer's subroutines. These blocks will not allow much more than basic functions of the console.

CSO_Engstrom says:

ACO: That all depends on how well its hidden. ::begins writting a program that will automatically check the diagnostics on any subsystem found to be operating within specs. Loads the program into a tricorder::

CMO_Sarah says:

Eng: Lay him here

FCO_Jadahn says:

::hears the frequent "error" beeping coming from the other consoles:: Self: And not much for anyone else, either...

TO_Horn says:

ACO: Sir I keep running into security blocks I cant do nothing with this

CMO_Sarah says:

<Eng> Aye. ::lays his friend down::

CSO_Engstrom says:

::looks up at his screen and frowns:: ACO: I think ive run into a block. The computer appears to have been partially locked out. Basic functions are operable, but higher functions and programming have been encrypted and locked out. Probably on Patton's command authority.

CSO_Engstrom says:

Computer: Recognize, Engstrom, Lieutentant Anthony M. access Operations Programming subroutine, local node. Enable.

CMO_Sarah says:

::grabs a med. tricorder and begins assessing the patient::

AGMDave is now known as Computer.

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

CSO: Ok...now you see, that didn't take 3 years. ::smiles:: But, keep working on it, try and get me some more specifics.

Host Computer says:

CSO: Access denied

FCO_Jadahn says:

::gets a little bored, and brings up the history of the USS Titan in this reality::

CSO_Engstrom says:

ACO: The computer has been locked out sir, specifically, its not working. But ill see if i can get around the blockage without breaking the autodistruct.

CMO_Sarah says:

Arden: We've operating on this one, 3 broken ribs have punctured his lung.

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

CSO/TO: Understood. Be gentle...we don't want to alert them.

CSO_Engstrom says:

Computer: Computer, request identity confirmation and computer access. Engstrom, Lieutenant Anthony M. Authorization Beta Charlie Oh Two Nine Delta. Request computer access, secondary systems control. Enable.

Host Computer says:

CSO: That code is no longer valid

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

FCO: Check all frequencies, make sure they are recieving any kind of input feed. You never know if they are listening in on our conversations.

CSO_Engstrom says:

ACO: If we were to take all the computers offline, disconnect the CPU from the Optical Data Network, we might be able to hard-boot the computer under our old instructions. Of course we would also be dead in space for up to 24 hours. In enviourmental suits. And it could take days to realign the warp drive. Short of that I dont know what to do.

CMO_Sarah says:

<Arden> ::preps the op bed for surgery::

CMO_Sarah says:

Eng: Okay, help me carry him there, then you go back to your duties.

FCO_Jadahn says:

ACO: Aye sir.... and, if you need any help, I have some experience with breaking into computers systems....."hacking"...

CMO_Sarah says:

<Eng> But....

CMO_Sarah says:

Eng: I'll contact you as soon as I know something.

TO_Horn says:

CSO: I have an idea might be off the wall but an idea

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

CSO: Ultimately, keep that idea in mind...but for now, lets just put this problem and ride the badwagon just a little bit longer and see what else happens.

CMO_Sarah says:

<Eng> CSO: Aye sir, ::moves his friend, then leaves::

CMO_Sarah says:

<edit CMO>

FCO_Jadahn says:

::nods to ACO::

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

*CMO*: What is our current crew count?

CMO_Sarah says:

::applies a hypo and watches the patient begin to sleep::

TO_Horn says:

CSO: What if we tried to access the computer directly at the core

CSO_Engstrom says:

ACTO: Request permission to bring operations offline for a moment, im going to try to force the computer to default to the dedicated subprocessors. They couldnt have altered those without drilling through most of the bridge.

CMO_Sarah says:

::pulls up the frame and begins the basic diagnostic of the patient::

CSO_Engstrom says:

TO: Probably nothing, our access codes have been locked out of the system. But you can certainly try. I think that the subprocessors are our best bet though.

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

FCO: Are there any signs that they are listening in??

CSO_Engstrom says:

<ACTO = ACO>

TO_Horn says:

CSO: Well well try that first

TO_Horn says:

<WE'll>

CMO_Sarah says:

::opens up the patient::

CSO_Engstrom says:

TO: Why dont you head down to the core room, monitor it for any changes in command path, and ill work on the subprocessors.

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

CSO: Hold that thought for a second. If they have bugged us, they might know what we are doing before it happens.

FCO_Jadahn says:

ACO: Nothing detectable.... lets hope that the technology is the same in this universe as it is in ours... otherwise they could be listening and we just can't detect it....

CSO_Engstrom says:

TO: At least that would give us an idea of what exactly they have done with the portions that are locked out...

CMO_Sarah says:

::contracts the tissue around the injury::

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

CSO: Are there any other possibilities that are less extreme??

TO_Horn says:

CSO: As long as we find out it doesnt matter

CSO_Engstrom says:

ACO: This is a much more contained version of my earlier scenario. Under the computer's specs, it should immediately default to the dedicated systems. There's no saying for certain, I could fry the whole ODN and then we would be in a hard-boot situation. But its the only way we can gain computer control without shutting down.

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

*CMO*: Can you tell me what our current healthy crew count is??

CMO_Sarah says:

Arden: Grab the contractor, I need to cut away the bone.

FCO_Jadahn says:

::sits around waiting to see if anyone needs his assistance with the hacking going on::

CMO_Sarah says:

<Arden> ::grabs the instrument and continues working with it::

CSO_Engstrom says:

ACO: Unless of course you can convince Captain Patton to release the computer to us.

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

CSO: I don't anticipate him releasing it.

FCO_Jadahn says:

::flicks a piece of fuzz from someone's uniform off the top of his console::

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

FCO: Talk with the CSO. See what you guys can work out together on the CSO's recent idea.

CSO_Engstrom says:

FCO: If you will put keep a close eye on the flight control system... you may briefly loose power as the system changes over... so you would have to fly manually.

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

FCO/CSO/TO: We are heading to a station for repairs. So, we could just say there was a slight technology difference and some systems fried. And we can work on something else.

FCO_Jadahn says:

ACO: Aye sir... ::stands and leaves his console to an ensign and walks over to CSO Engstrom and TO Horn::

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

FCO/CSO/TO: If this doesn't work.

CMO_Sarah says:

::begins cutting the broken ribs out of the lung::

CSO_Engstrom says:

ACO: If this doesnt work, we will either be dead in space with computer control. Or have a much better idea of just how much trouble we really are in, because if the subprocessors have been comprimised, that means the whole main core will have been replaced.

TO_Horn (rjhinsley@user.acalltoduty.com-23237.ipt.aol.com) has left the conversation.

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

CSO: True, and they could tow us and conduct repairs at the station, and pray there aren't any betazeds with them.

CMO_Sarah says:

::removes the fragments::

CSO_Engstrom says:

::walks over to the operations console, accesses ODN control, and terminates power feed to the Operations subsystem and computer nodes, re routing power to the secondary EPS system and shutting down the Operations ODN link::

Computer is now known as AGMDave.

CSO_Engstrom says:

::reaches under the console, opens a small door, and pulls the lever activating manual systems control and the subprocessor matrix::

FCO_Jadahn says:

::goes over to the helm again and turns on manual control, and sits down::

CSO_Engstrom says:

All: Hold onto your hats! ::pushes the enable button, pray's::

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

::bites lip::

Host AGMDave says:

ACTION: Sparks fly from every console on the bridge and some in engineering. All power is out. Titan is dead in space.

CSO_Engstrom says:

ACO: Well that answers that question.

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

CSO: Engage emergency power.

CMO_Sarah says:

::looks up as the lights go out:: Arden: Great, that's juuuussssstt great!

Host AGMDave says:

ACTION: Several figures beam onto Titan's bridge.

CMO_Sarah says:

::waits for emergency power to kick in::

CSO_Engstrom says:

::taps comm badge, testing the internal communications systems:: ACO: If its any consolation, we will have computer control when we get the core back online. If we get the core back online. ::looks worried:: Permission to head to the core room?

CSO_Engstrom says:

::knows emergency power wont kick in, because the computer is dead as a doorstop::

Host AGMDave says:

ACTION: Emergency back up batteries come online and the bridge is cast in an erie red glow.

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

figures: Hello? We have suffered a malfunction in the systems.

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

FCO: Hail the Pearl Harbor.

CSO_Engstrom says:

Figures: Our main ODN system appears to have gone offline.

Host AGMDave says:

ACTION: The figures that have beamed aboard are Commodore Patton and a security squad.

CSO_Engstrom says:

::whispers to the ACO:: ACO: subspace systems will be down too.

AGMDave is now known as CO_Patton.

FCO_Jadahn says:

ACO: Sir, shall I proceed with that order, or is it no longer necessary?

CSO_Engstrom says:

::moves casually away from operations, walking back to his console, looking innocent::

CMO_Sarah says:

Arden: lets get this done fast. I don't trust emergency power.

Host CO_Patton says:

All: Stand down!

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

Patton: It appears that your technology is a little different in your reality. You might have overlooked something in repairs.

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

Patton: None of us have weapons drawn sir.

CSO_Engstrom says:

CO_Patton: With the ODN offline, I would say that is an accurate description of our current situation.

CMO_Sarah says:

::removes the bone fragments and begins regenerating the lung tissue::

Host CO_Patton says:

::moves right into Madson's face::Madson: Our technology is completely compatable, Commander. ::growling in anger:: Your crew disrupted it!

Host CO_Patton says:

::motions for his security to aim at a member of the bridge crew each::

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

::staying calm:: Patton: I don't think that your brief time on the ship was long enough to make sure that all areas are compatible

CSO_Engstrom says:

::looks at his console, notices it is operating on emergency mode, therfor should be operating through the subprocessors, therefor should have computer control.

FCO_Jadahn says:

ACO: I don't know what he is talking about, but I do know that engines were unstable... I was having some difficulties...

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

Patton: If we wanted to do what you think we were trying, then we would have shut downthe core. Same result.

FCO_Jadahn says:

~~~ACO: Sir, suggestions? I'm just trying to change the target of blame...~~~

CMO_Sarah says:

removes the instruments and watches the lung refill with air slowly

CMO_Sarah says:

<::>

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

~~~FCO: Don't say anything, just act normal, and be positive.~~~

Host CO_Patton says:

Madson: That will be all, Commander. I was afraid your crew would pull a stunt like this! ::Backs off a bit:: You are all under arrest and will be transported to the brig on my ship. I will send a crew to man your vessel.

CO_Patton is now known as AGMDave.

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

Patton: We have crew in surgery. I would have at least waited for that to finish before as you say, "trying" something.

CMO_Sarah says:

Arden: Okay, let's get these bones repaired.

CSO_Engstrom says:

::inches over to his console, accesses transporter control, prays::

Host AGMDave says:

ACTION: Titan shakes violently. Patients in sickbay are thrown to the floor. Patton gets a com from his ship

FCO_Jadahn says:

~~~ACO: Being positive sir.... positive....~~~

CMO_Sarah says:

<Arden> Hands CMO the bone regenerator::

AGMDave is now known as CO_Patton.

Host CO_Patton says:

*PH*: Status!

Host CO_Patton says:

<PH> Sir! Three Breen just decloaked to our starboard!

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

Patton: The safety of my crew is of the utmost importance to me. I tell you, I tried nothing. We were just working on repairs.

CMO_Sarah says:

::goes flying to the floor and sees the Eng. hanging from the bed caught by the surgical frame::

CSO_Engstrom says:

::uses the ensueing confusion to access his computer system and attempt to determine if its operating through the subprocessors::

CO_Patton is now known as AGMDave.

CMO_Sarah says:

::jumps back up, ordering the other staff to get the patients back in their beds::

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

::waits for Patton to issue his next command::

Host AGMDave says:

ACTION: The engineer in surgery, due to his shitfted position, has had his broken rib puncture his heart. He is bleeding buckets on the sickbay deck.

AGMDave is now known as CO_Patton.

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

Patton: Plus, I don't think you are in the situation to arrest us at the moment.

Host CO_Patton says:

Madson: It is irrelevant now. You shall die.

CO_Patton is now known as AGMDave.

CSO_Engstrom says:

::try's to catch the ACO's eye, gestures to the twirling starfleet symbol on his console, which says access enabled, looks smug::

CMO_Sarah says:

::grabs the Eng. and slaps him back where he belongs::

Host AGMDave says:

ACTION: Patton and his team beam back to the USS Pearl Harbor

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

CSO: Do we have everything??

CMO_Sarah says:

::reaches in and grabs his heart pulling it away from the bone::

CSO_Engstrom says:

::rushes back to operations:: ACO: We have computer control, attempting to bring main power back online. We have everything that isnt broken sir.

CMO_Sarah says:

::sticks her finger against the hole to plug it::

FCO_Jadahn says:

::immediately turns to his station, doing everything he can to better the situation::

KevNash (Kevin_Nash@38.194.216.user.acalltoduty.com-52195) has joined the conversation.

CSO_Engstrom says:

::sits down at the operations console, accesses the engineering system, and attempts to re-initialize shipwide feed from main power::

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

FCO: Help him with getting that power back on.

CMO_Sarah says:

Arden: Get that over here now and get this heart closed up!

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

::runs to a panel and attempts to help::

FCO_Jadahn says:

ACO: Already on it, sir

KevNash (Kevin_Nash@38.194.216.user.acalltoduty.com-52195) has left the conversation.

CSO_Engstrom says:

*Engineering* Bridge to Engineering, reactivate main power feed, secondary EPS grid. And whatever you do dont fix the ODN.

Host AGMDave says:

ACTION: The engineer's heart literally bursts from the increased pressure

FCO_Jadahn says:

ACO: Weapons are online.... we have torpedoes, and phasers are at 43%

CMO_Sarah says:

self: Oh *&#$@!!!!!

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

FCO: Don't do anything yet with the weapons.

CSO_Engstrom says:

ACO: All systems accepting commands from the secondary network. Undamaged systems operable at 40% power, and rising.

Host AGMDave says:

ACTION: The main viewscreen comes to life to show the Pearl Harbor in a piched battle with three Breen vessels. One Breen ship is already aflame.

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

FCO: With the pearl harbor there, the Breen will go after them before us.

CMO_Sarah says:

::grabs what's left of the heart and throws it away::

FCO_Jadahn says:

ACO: Aye sir, just reporting the information to you

CMO_Sarah says:

Arden: Get a replacement!

ACO_Scott_Madson says:

CSO/FCO: Assuming we do get main power back soon, I would appreciate some ideas on a course of action.

CMO_Sarah says:

::activates the life support::

CSO_Engstrom says:

::raises what is left of the shields and begins flowing power through the secondary EPS grid.:: ACO: We are free and clear to navigate. Recommend immediate departure from this area, and return to crossover point.

CMO_Sarah says:

::begins clearing away the remains of the heart for the replacement::
