Guest AGM: Mike Jones

TO_Benson says:
::Standing at tactical two monitoring the sensors::  CTO: Welcome back, Sir.  ::Hands the CTO a PADD with the week's duty roster on it::

Host CO_Loran says:
::Sits in his chair looking at the viewscreen::

CMO_Smitowitz says:
::Running around sickbay yelling at the MO's:: MO Bob: Don't touch that! MO Rob: No, no, no! He's supposed to have a regular checkup not a lobotomy! MO Hal: That's not what that's for!

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Titan is maneuvering around the binary stars toward the sphere-holding ship.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Working on solutions for the current problem::

OPS_Gilmore says:
::Monitoring the OPS console::

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS: Inform Starfleet Command of the situation with this alien ship and the planets their scans missed.

CTO_Madson says:
TO: Thanks.  ::Looks the PADD over and then runs a scan of the ship checking for sensors::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: That ship has no signs of warp capabilities.

Host CO_Loran says:
CTO: Do you detect any kind of sensors on that ship?

OPS_Gilmore says:
CO: Aye sir.  ::Sends the information to Starfleet Command::

CMO_Smitowitz says:
::Finally gets those crazy MO's to start using equipment properly and goes into his office and collapses into his chair::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Sees if the Titan can push the ship with the tractors::

CTO_Madson says:
CO: They don't seem to be running any scans of their own.  It also appears that they don't really have a sensor system of their own.  So, I don't think we have much to worry about. 

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO: Does that ship have any 'windows' that could spot us if we try to help the ship?

OPS_Gilmore says:
::Is continuing to monitor the power::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: They do have simple visual capabilities.

CMO_Smitowitz says:
::Looks out his window into sickbay:: MO Berkowitz: Take that out of there! That's not supposed to be put in there!

Host CO_Loran says:
CTO: Just to be on the safe side, send out a jamming signal to mask our sensor readings.

TO_Benson says:
::Looks up:: CSO: Is there a way we could render the entire population of that ship unconscious then tow the ship to safety?

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: We're not in its line of sight yet, sir.  Additionally, we don't have enough power to move that ship out of harm's way, not even reversing polarity on the tractor beam.

CTO_Madson says:
CO: Understood.  ::Activates a jamming sensor and continues to watch for any sensor scans emitting from their ship::

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO: Is there any way that we can 'hide' from their visual scans so we can try to help the ship a little?

TO_Benson says:
CSO: What if after we render them unconscious, we extend a warp bubble around the vessel then tow it out?

CSO_Taliza says:
TO: Without enough power to even move it away from the binaries that may be a moot point.

CMO_Smitowitz says:
MO Opsowitz: Ensign, you have control of Sickbay.  I'm going to the Bridge where it's less hectic.

CSO_Taliza says:
TO: And without knowing what species they are, it would be tricky to beam over the right gas.

TO_Benson says:
CSO: Gas?

CMO_Smitowitz says:
<MO Opsowitz> CMO: Aye, Sir. ::Goes off picks up yelling at the MO's where the CMO left off::

CMO_Smitowitz says:
::Walks out of Sickbay and into a turbolift:: Bridge.

CSO_Taliza says:
TO: If we know who they were, we could beam over anestezine or another form of gas to knock them out.

TO_Benson says:
CSO: I am not talking about gas.  There must be some type of frequency we can use to knock them out.

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO: I understand that we aren't going to be able to tow it, I just want to be able to help the ship along so that they can get out of the blast radius of the two suns in what little time we have.  Maybe make the ship lighter on itself so it can move faster.

CTO_Madson says:
CSO: Perhaps a "smokescreen" so to say?

TO_Benson says:
CO: A warp bubble will do that, Sir.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO/TO: In theory, it could.

CMO_Smitowitz says:
::Arrives on the Bridge and goes to a corner to monitor the Bridge crew just in case they have any accidents::

Host CO_Loran says:
ALL: I do not want to effect the inhabitants with sonic or gas.  We don't know who or what they are, so, we don't know what that kind of stuff will have an effect on them.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: However, I don't know if our warp field can safely go around that ship and still have us be undetected and be able to push them along.

CMO_Smitowitz says:
CO: We could just cycle through gases until we find something that works.

TO_Benson says:
CO: Then what about extending a warp bubble around their vessel and towing them out?  It will make the ship lighter to where we should be able to lock onto it with tractor beams.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO/TO: In order to do that, we'll have to risk premature first contact.

Host CO_Loran says:
CMO: We could do that, but, with each added gas, we have the possibility of killing them with different mixtures of the gases.

CSO_Taliza says:
CMO: We don't know what species they are, Doc.

CTO_Madson says:
CO: Perhaps we could use in crude terms a "smoke bomb" around their ship to keep them from using their windows to spot us.  And then we could tow them away while emitting a constant stream of gas until they are to safety.  That way when the smoke clears, they have "magically" arrived in a different location.

TO_Benson says:
CSO: Better that than letting them die.

CMO_Smitowitz says:
CSO: Oh, that would be a problem.

CSO_Taliza says:
CTO: How about paint on their windows?

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO: Launch a probe to their planets so we can get readings on them before they are destroyed.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  Launching probe.  ::Launches probe::

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: A sole probe launches from the Titan, rushing toward the planet in the star system from which these people apparently originated.

TO_Benson says:
CO: We could start transporting them down to the planet, however we will not get them all before the suns collide.

Host CO_Loran says:
CTO: Is there a way that we create a rudimentary cloaking device from visual site using the holo-emitters?

TO_Benson says:
CO: We could modify the shield emitters to emit a holo-projection of open space.  It will take a while to reconfigure them though.  We may not have enough time.

CSO_Taliza says:
All: I see no choice but, if you all pardon me, violate the Prime Directive.

OPS_Gilmore says:
::Looks up and sees the CSO::

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS: How long until we get a reply from Starfleet Command?

CMO_Smitowitz says:
All: Or, maybe, we could magnify the tractor beam so that we could use it from outside their visual distance.

TO_Benson says:
CO: We would only need to project the holo-image within visual range of the Titan.

CSO_Taliza says:
CMO: Not enough power.

CMO_Smitowitz says:
CSO: Couldn't we take it from other systems? Or put a big magnifying glass on it?

CTO_Madson says:
CO: Captain, perhaps using the gravity of a nearby asteroid, it could transport them out of here and make it appear to them as a natural occurrence.

CSO_Taliza says:
CMO: Like I said, the ship doesn't have enough power.

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: Suddenly, a small fragment from a nearby asteroid field slams into the massive ship. Only one of the spheres is impacted but it's enough damage to cause loss of life.  Hundreds of people are sucked out into space.

TO_Benson says:
::Looks in horror at the viewscreen::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Impact from an asteroid on the ship!

Host CO_Loran says:
::Watches what happens on the viewscreen::  

CMO_Smitowitz says:
::Looks out:: Self: That's never good.

CTO_Madson says:
CO: Sir, an asteroid fragment has damaged their vessel.

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The ship slowly lists to the side still attempting to make its course.

OPS_Gilmore says:
CO: Starfleet Command’s response time is 2 hours due to the numbers of relays that it has to travel and return.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Do we have two hours to wait?

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS: Get a lock on one of those bodies and beam it to sickbay.  We need some biological information on them.

CTO_Madson says:
CO: We could pull an asteroid near them, causing it to catch in its field of gravity and then send the asteroid and them on their way, and out of danger.

TO_Benson says:
CO: With all due respect, Captain, what about trying the warp bubble idea?

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: The hole in one of those spheres is causing deaths to hundreds of those people.

Host CO_Loran says:
CMO: I need as much information on their race as you can get.

CMO_Smitowitz says:
All: I guess I know where I'll be. ::Walks to the turbolift and enters:: Sickbay.

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: Almost immediately, dozens of people from other spheres move out in primitive EVA suits to try and repair the damage.

OPS_Gilmore says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Locks onto a corpse, erects a quarantine field around the surgical bay in Sickbay and transports the body to the surgical bay::

OPS_Gilmore says:
CO: Transport complete.

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: One of the aliens is beamed to the Titan's sickbay.  Its skin is deathly pale from its exposure to space.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: I'm picking up several people from that ship fixing the hole.

OPS_Gilmore says:
::Continues monitoring::

CMO_Smitowitz says:
::Gets to Sickbay and looks at the dead body:: Body: Well, aren't you a pretty one?  ::Sarcastically::

TO_Benson says:
::Thinks::  CO: Perhaps we can use that "smokescreen" idea.  We can saturate the area surrounding the vessel with harmless gas causing a screen, then move in and extend a warp bubble around the vessel and tow it out.

Host CO_Loran says:
FCO: Make sure we are out of their visual site.  I don't want any of them seeing us.

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Ensign at Conn.> CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Sets a course away from them, quarter impulse::

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Titan slowly comes about and maneuvers away from the vessel.

CSO_Taliza says:
TO: That breach may cause some of that smoke into the vessel.

TO_Benson says:
CSO: So?  It's harmless.

CMO_Smitowitz says:
::Starts doing medical scans on the body and runs tests to see what would knock them our or keep them from seeing the ship long enough for a tow::

CSO_Taliza says:
TO: Might diminish the effectiveness of the screen.

CTO_Madson says:
TO: It might be to them.

CMO_Smitowitz says:
::Calls over a team of MO's to help with the "tests" which mainly involve poking and prodding with different instruments::

Host CO_Loran says:
ALL: Okay all, we have several ideas and we will start with one and see what happens from there.

TO_Benson says:
::Wonders what the heck the CSO is talking about::  CSO: I fail to see your point, Lieutenant.

CTO_Madson says:
TO: I still think by using an asteroids gravimetric field, it would make it seem like a natural occurrence to them.  So we wouldn't even have to hide them from us then...in any form.  They would only see the asteroid.

Host CO_Loran says:
CTO: Run simulations on your idea with the asteroid.  See what you can come up with.

CSO_Taliza says:
TO: You put a bunch of smoke around a vessel like that, the breach may either suck in or blow away the smoke, depending on the atmospheric pressure of that ship.  If the breach causes the smoke cloud to blow away, they can see us.

CTO_Madson says:
CO: Understood.  ::Quickly boots up a simulator program on his console and gets hard at work::

TO_Benson says:
CSO: Not with a continuous disbursal of gas.  ::Rolls eyes::

CTO_Madson says:
::Gets the computer to project the approximate size of the asteroid needed to project an adequate field::

Host CO_Loran says:
All: To be able to put up a smoke screen, we would have to get into visual range to make sure it is over them.  We cannot just fire a smoke screen from our photon torpedo pays and have it explode around them.

CMO_Smitowitz says:
Computer: Compile information from the tests and tell me if there is anything that we could use to temporarily knock them out.

TO_Benson says:
CO: Actually, that isn't a bad idea, Sir.

CMO_Smitowitz says:
Computer: Them as in the aliens on the other ship.

TO_Benson says:
CO: But instead of detonating, they could be modified to emit the gas.

Host CO_Loran says:
TO: And how do you propose we keep the smoke screen around them as we move them to safety?

TO_Benson says:
CO: Constant disbursal, Sir, controlled disbursal, rather, Sir.

CTO_Madson says:
CO: Sir, the computer predicts that an asteroid 3/4ths the size of the Titan has a strong enough field to take them into orbit.  ::Runs a scan for an asteroid nearby of that size::

TO_Benson says:
CO: We could even use probes positioned in the flight path to dispense the gas.

Host CO_Loran says:
TO: It would cause them to try and fight our warp field to get out of the smoke screen so they can see where they are going.

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Computer> CMO: Acknowledged.  Processing.

TO_Benson says:
::Gives up:: CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Goes back to monitoring the sensors and shuts up::

CTO_Madson says:
::Computer finds a match:: CO: Sir, and there is even a nearby match in size.

Host CO_Loran says:
FCO: Set a course for the desired asteroid.

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Ensign at Conn.> ::Waits for the CTO to transmit telemetry to his console::

CTO_Madson says:
::Sends the coordinates to the FCO's console::

Host CO_Loran says:
CTO: Bring your program online and lets see if we can run with it to help them get out of this area faster.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: I have information on their planet of origin...

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Ensign at Conn.> ::Plots course to designated asteroid, and engages at 3/4ths impulse::

CTO_Madson says:
::Uploads the simulation parameters and specifications to the main computer for all stations to access:: CO: Information is now up.

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Titan comes about once again, and moves to a nearby asteroid field.

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO: What do you have?

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: It's relatively abandoned.  There are signs of animal life and humanoid lifeforms there.

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO: How much humanoid life is there?

CMO_Smitowitz says:
::Thinking about grabbing a magazine while the computer processes::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Only 2,906 people.  I'm wondering if they were left behind or chose not to go.  That number is assuming no one is underground as well.

OPS_Gilmore says:
::Is watching the energy levels::

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Computer> CMO: Processing complete.

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO: I wish we could help them, but, there isn't much we could do for them right now.

CMO_Smitowitz says:
Computer: And?

CMO_Smitowitz says:
MO Team: Get back to doing whatever you were doing before I called yall over here.

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Computer> CMO: No known gas can accurately render designates unconscious. Sonic pulse on frequency .67954 will render designates unconscious.

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Ensign at Conn.> ALL: Arriving at coordinates.

CTO_Madson says:
CO/FCO: Once we are within range, I can now activate a tractor beam to drag it close enough to their vessel.

CMO_Smitowitz says:
Computer: Is there anything else besides gas or sonic pulse?

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: They can all see a relatively large asteroid on the viewscreen as the Titan comes up beside it.

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Computer> CMO: Negative.

Host CO_Loran says:
CTO: Activate the tractor beam once we are within range.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Monitors the sensors to see if something will happen::

CMO_Smitowitz says:
Computer: What is the chance that some devices could be beamed aboard the ship and release a sonic pulse of .67954 without being detected?

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Computer> CMO: Unable to process.

CTO_Madson2 says:
::activates tractor beam:: CO: Tractor beam activated.  Perhaps the CSO should monitor the integrity of the asteroid, so it doesn't break up while being towed.

CMO_Smitowitz says:
Computer: Why not?

Host CO_Loran says:
CTO: Send the course information to the FCO.

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: A blue bright light is unleashed from the Titan upon the asteroid, locking it in a tractor beam.

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Computer> CMO: Not enough parameters.

CSO_Taliza says:
CTO: I'm on it.  ::Tracks integrity of asteroid::

CMO_Smitowitz says:
Computer: Okay, thanks.

CTO_Madson2 says:
::Sends info to the FCO::

CMO_Smitowitz says:
*CO* Captain, I think I have an idea.

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO: Monitor the integrity of the asteroid.

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Ensign at Conn.> ::Receives information, plots new course and engages at 3/4 impulse for the safety of the asteroid::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: I'm on it.

TO_Benson says:
::Hopes the asteroid doesn't get caught in the gravity well of the two colliding stars ramming it into the ship::

Host CO_Loran says:
*CMO* What do you have?

CSO_Taliza says:
CTO/CO: It's safe as of right now.

CMO_Smitowitz says:
*CO* The only option I see is to configure some small devices to emit a sonic pulse of .67954 to knock them out and then beam the devices back before they get up.

TO_Benson says:
CO: The ship has slowed quite a bit.  There seems to have been more damage than we first detected.

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Ensign at Conn.> ALL: ETA is six minutes.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Continues to check on the asteroid::

Host CO_Loran says:
*CMO* Good work, Doctor.  We will use that information if we have to.

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Ensign at Conn.> ::Sets them on a course following the data from the CTO::

CMO_Smitowitz says:
*CO* Aye, Sir.  Smitowitz, out.

CMO_Smitowitz says:
::Goes back and sits in his chair::

Host CO_Loran says:
CTO: Does your data compensate for their slowed speed?

OPS_Gilmore says:
::Continues working the power grid::

CTO_Madson says:
CO: No, Sir, but it would be simple to adjust.

Host CO_Loran says:
CTO: Make the adjustments so we don't destroy their ship.

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Ensign at Conn.> CO/CTO: Should I slow course while the adjustments are made?

CMO_Smitowitz says:
MO Chirpowitz: Take the alien body to the morgue until we decide what to do with it.

Host CO_Loran says:
FCO: Yes.

CTO_Madson says:
CO: Understood.  FCO: You should only adjust speed once the asteroid grabs them.  ::Works on the simulation to include the slowed velocity::

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Ensign at Conn.> ::Slows speed to 1/4 impulse::

OPS_Gilmore says:
::Keeps as much power to the Tractor beam as possible::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Checks the integrity of the asteroid, feeds information to the CTO::

CTO_Madson says:
CO: In the effort to preserve time, we should only slow down once they are in its gravity field, because until then, they are unaffected.

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Ensign at Conn.> ::Glances back at the CO and CTO, waiting for the order to increase speed again::

CSO_Taliza says:
CTO: Asteroidal integrity has decreased by 0.008 percent, but still tolerable.

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO: Make sure you keep an eye on the far side of the asteroid so that if something is about to break off, we can attempt to pull away so what is about to break off doesn't hit their ship.

CTO_Madson says:
CSO: That sounds good to me.

Host CO_Loran says:
FCO: Increase speed until we have them in the gravity well.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Ensign at Conn.> CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Increases speed::

Host CO_Loran says:
TO: Watch sensors for any incoming asteroids and if we can destroy them without being noticed, do so with phasers.

CTO_Madson says:
::Relays the new parameters to the main computer:: FCO/CO: The parameters have been modified and updated in the main computer.

TO_Benson says:
CTO: Aye, Sir.  ::Continues monitoring the sensors::

CSO_Taliza says:
CTO/CO: Uh oh, the integrity decrease has jumped to 1.79 percent.  We should slow up a touch.

TO_Benson says:
::Taps console powering up the phasers::

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: A few pieces of rocks break off from the asteroid.  1,000-year-old dirt and dust begins to leave a small trail.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Pieces are starting to break off.

Host CO_Loran says:
FCO: How long until we reach the ship?

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Ensign at Conn.> ::Quirks eyebrow upon hearing what the CSO just said.  Wonders if he should be decreasing speed right now.  Waits for the order::

TO_Benson says:
::Targets the small pieces of asteroids and fires phasers::

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Ensign at Conn.> CO: Five minutes, Sir.

Host CO_Loran says:
FCO: Decrease speed, we need the entire asteroid.

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Titan lets loose with a few phaser blasts from it's port array, blasting the broken off pieces to even smaller or non-existence particles.

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Ensign at Conn.> CO: Aye, Sir. ::Decreases speed::

CMO_Smitowitz says:
Self: What to do now?

CTO_Madson says:
CSO: Locate the weakest point of integrity.  Do you think we can transport emitters to the weak areas of the asteroid to boost the integrity?

CSO_Taliza says:
::Checks asteroid's integrity::

CMO_Smitowitz says:
::Goes out of his office headed back to the turbolift and enters:: Bridge.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Searches for the weak point.  Like looking for needles in proverbial haystacks::

CSO_Taliza says:
CTO/CO: The asteroid is cracking!  Integrity has decreased to 7.8 percent.

CSO_Taliza says:
CTO/CO: 11.01 percent down.

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: Some more pieces break off and more dust forms in the trail.

CMO_Smitowitz says:
::Arrives on the Bridge and quietly goes into a back corner::

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO/CTO: Can we put shields around the asteroid to boost its integrity or even a warp bubble?

CSO_Taliza says:
::Extrapolates the size of the asteroid when we arrive::

TO_Benson says:
::Targets the pieces and fires phasers as they break off::

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: Further phaser blasts "light up" the side of the Titan as they take out the pieces breaking off.

OPS_Gilmore says:
::Continues to monitor for transmissions::

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Ensign at Conn.> ::Notes the breaking off of the pieces not entirely sure that he can slow down any further::

CTO_Madson says:
CO/CSO: Perhaps we could transport emitters onto the asteroid to set up an integrity field.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: The shields won't do anything.  The warp bubble, though, may either help or hinder.  We could reposition the tractor to re-strengthen the area, but we'll have to rework the beam.

Host CO_Loran says:
CTO/CSO: We need to know where to set them up, though.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Scans the asteroid for the best place to put emitters::

CTO_Madson says:
CSO: Where is the rock breaking off??

CMO_Smitowitz says:
::Watches the bridge crew run around doing their thing and goes over to a spare console to monitor Sickbay::

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO/CTO: Could allowing the asteroid to move on its own without our help, help to stabilize it?  We could use the tractor beam to keep it on course periodically and to slow it down when we reach the ship.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: I think it's our speed that's causing it to crumble.

CSO_Taliza says:
CTO/CO: The best place to put any structural integrity emitters would be along the edges of the crack.

Host CO_Loran says:
FCO: How fast are we moving?

CTO_Madson says:
CO: That is essentially what we have to do once they are in the gravimetric field, but we need to get that asteroid close to them somewhat soon.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir, should we start sending over the emitters?

CMO_Smitowitz says:
::Watches as people run around doing things::

CTO_Madson says:
::Runs a quick simulation::  CO: Sir, actually with the current situation, the asteroid would tow them out in time.  So, yes, it would definitely work.

OPS_Gilmore says:
::Keeps the power running to the tractor beam::
