OPS_Nichols says:
::At OPS, glaring at the Omega symbol on her screen::  ~~~CSO: What IS this?~~~

TO_Benson says:
::Looks at the strange symbol on her console display screen::

Host CO_Loran says:
::Stands on his Bridge and sees the blue lights and the Omega symbol flashing on all the consoles and hangs his head a little::

XO_Madson says:
::On the Bridge::

CNS_McDuggle says:
::Sits at console staring at the Omega symbol::

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
~~~OPS: It’s the Greek symbol of Omega~~~

OPS_Nichols says:
~~~CSO: I know that.  But what is it doing on my console and how is it showing?~~~

Host CO_Loran says:
::Turns to XO::  XO:  Commander, I will be in my Ready Room and I do not want any interruptions, period.

XO_Madson says:
CO: Understood.

CEO_Fletcher says:
::In Main Engineering going crazy trying to fix things then just gives in and has a seat::

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
~~~OPS: Then I don’t have an answer~~~~

TO_Benson says:
XO: Sir, tactical controls are locked out.  ::Taps the console trying to regain tactical controls::

Host CO_Loran says:
::Turns and walks into his Ready Room and moves behind his desk at which point he pushes a few special command codes to unlock from the Omega lockdown::

XO_Madson says:
TO: Really?  Work on getting those back.  I think you might not be the only one.

TO_Benson says:
XO: Working on it, Sir.

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The Omega Symbol disappears and all systems return to normal.

XO_Madson says:
::Notices the screen:: ALL: Report.

TO_Benson says:
XO: Sir, all tactical systems restored.  We have tactical control.

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
::Looks at his sensors screen:: XO: We have a problem.

TO_Benson says:
XO: And that strange symbol is gone.

CEO_Fletcher says:
::Looks around and sees all systems back to normal:: Self: Not even going to try to figure it out.

XO_Madson says:
CSO: Explain.

OPS_Nichols says:
XO: Sir, everything appears back to normal.  I would suggest running diagnostics to make certain.

Host CO_Loran says:
::Opens a secure transmission to Starfleet Command and informs them of the Omega warning that has just happened::

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
XO: Sensors are detecting a fleet of Romulan ships heading for the Leopold\Mertion Nebula.

FCO_Jadahn says:
::At his station::

XO_Madson says:
CSO: How many?

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: Loran has a tough time establishing a secure subspace frequency as most channels are in use.

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
XO: There are 33 ships in that fleet, Sir.  There are 12 Deri'dex class warbirds and the rest are destroyers and cruisers.

XO_Madson says:
CSO: Are they within hailing range?

TO_Benson says:
::Taps the tactical console trying to boost power to the long-range sensors so she can see these Romulan vessels::

XO_Madson says:
CSO: And what is their time to arrival?

OPS_Nichols says:
::Begins checking power distribution for all decks::

Host CO_Loran says:
::Receives a message back from Starfleet Command with new orders, hoping those orders wouldn't be what he expected::

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
XO: Their ETA is 12 hours at current speed.

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Looks around and fidgits in his chair::

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
XO: We are within hailing range.

CEO_Fletcher says:
::Stares at a button::

OPS_Nichols says:
::Checks COM channels for any messages she can pick up from the Romulans::

Host CO_Loran says:
::Sits down at his desk and reads over the information about the Omega molecule, separating the sensor reading of the molecule and storing it into another file::

XO_Madson says:
::Tries to think whether or not to contact the Captain::

XO_Madson says:
TO: Bring us to red alert.

TO_Benson says:
XO: Aye, Sir.  ::Activates the red alert status and watches as the long-range sensors FINALLY displays the Romulan fleet on her tactical screen::

OPS_Nichols says:
::Sets the console to Red Alert::

Host CO_Loran says:
::Sees the red alert being activated and is glad his XO activated it, since we are going to need it soon::

XO_Madson says:
OPS: Check the COM channels.  Try to pull out a handful of COMs from the Romulans if you can.

OPS_Nichols says:
XO: Sir, I'm receiving so much COM traffic that I can't separate them.  I'll continue attempting to isolate.

XO_Madson says:
CSO: Is their destination within the neutral zone?

FCO_Jadahn says:
*Shuttle Bay 2* My console is telling me that we are short one shuttle?

CNS_McDuggle says:
OPS: Send some of that COM traffic to my console and I will try to help.

OPS_Nichols says:
CNS: Aye, Sir.  ::Sends the CNS COM channels 301-500::

Host CO_Loran says:
Computer:  Using long-range sensors, do you detect signs of the Omega molecule?

FCO_Jadahn says:
<Shuttle Bay 2> *FCO* Aye, Sir, we have one down for repairs.  The impulse engines were shutting down during the launch sequence.  Needless to say, we had to do something.

XO_Madson says:
CSO: Is it within the neutral zone?

FCO_Jadahn says:
*Shuttle Bay 2* Understood.  Jadahn, out.

CNS_McDuggle says:
::Receives the COM traffic from OPS and starts going through them::

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
XO: The Nebula is well within Federation space.

Host Computer says:
CO: Affirmative.

XO_Madson says:
Self: Oh great!  FCO: Engage intercept course, warp 8.

Host CO_Loran says:
Computer: How far is this molecule?

OPS_Nichols says:
::Continues to isolate using transponder frequencies::

FCO_Jadahn says:
XO: Aye, Sir.  Intercept course set, engaging warp engines.  ::Engages warp engines at warp 8::

XO_Madson says:
::Thinks: Should I tell the Captain or should I not??::

Host Computer says:
CO: Approximately 10 hours at maximum warp.

Host CO_Loran says:
Computer:  Where is the molecule located?

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
XO: Correction, Sir, according to the star charts the nebula is in unclaimed territory but the Romulans must pass into Federation space to get there.

Host Computer says:
CO: Within the Leopold/Mertion Nebula.

Host CO_Loran says:
Computer:  Do you detect anything else in the vicinity?

XO_Madson says:
OPS: Get a secure channel with Starfleet Command.  I need to let them know.

Host Computer says:
CO: There are several vessels converging on the area.

CNS_McDuggle says:
::Starts sorting out some of the Romulan COMs and puts them a separate file::

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Coughs then rubs his chin::

XO_Madson says:
CSO: That is still Federation space and they have no right to be there.

Host CO_Loran says:
Computer:  What vessels are in the area?

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
XO: Sir, I agree with you, however I don’t think the Romulans care.

XO_Madson says:
CSO: No doubt.

Host Computer says:
CO: Federation, Klingon, Bellicose, and other unidentified vessels.

OPS_Nichols says:
::Resets the COM::

TO_Benson says:
::Powers up the weapons systems::

OPS_Nichols says:
XO: I'm doing my best, Sir.  Everything is jammed.  ::Watches the COM come back up:: Here you go, Sir.  ::Opens a secured channel::

Host CO_Loran says:
Computer: Is there more than one molecule present or are there multiples?

Host Computer says:
CO: There are multiple molecules detected.

XO_Madson says:
COM: Starfleet Command: Starfleet Command, this is Commander Madson, Executive Officer of the USS Titan.  I am contacting you to report there are 33 Romulan vessels getting ready to fly through Federation space.

Host CO_Loran says:
Computer: How many molecules?

OPS_Nichols says:
::Watches as the transponder signals begin to separate::

TO_Benson says:
XO: Weapons systems fully operational at 100%, Sir.

Host SFC says:
COM: Titan: Refer to your Captain's orders, Titan.  Starfleet, out.

OPS_Nichols says:
Self: Well, that was short and sweet.

Host Computer says:
CO: Unable to scan in that detail.

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Glances at his console, sees they are still on course and everything is good and nice then resumes looking around::

Host CO_Loran says:
*CEO*:  I need you to baby that engine down there, as I'm going to need everything it has and then about another 100% out of it.

OPS_Nichols says:
::Closes the COM::

XO_Madson says:
COM: Starfleet Command: Understood.  Madson, out.

CEO_Fletcher says:
*CO* No, I mean I Aye, Sir.  ::Gets serious::

XO_Madson says:
::Looks at the Bridge crew and shrugs:: ALL: I guess we just have to wait for the Captain.

TO_Benson says:
::Glances to the XO and nods in acknowledgement::

CEO_Fletcher says:
::Goes over to the core output and raises it by five levels::

CNS_McDuggle says:
XO: That is the hardest part of any mission.

XO_Madson says:
CNS: No doubt.

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Notices more warp core output::  *CEO* Super job.

CEO_Fletcher says:
*FCO* Don't make me come up there.

Host CO_Loran says:
*FCO* Plot a course, heading 169 mark 2, and do not spare any engine power.  We need to get there yesterday.

FCO_Jadahn says:
*CO* Understood, Sir.

FCO_Jadahn says:
*CEO* Give me everything you can, Sir.  We're going as fast as we can.

XO_Madson says:
Self: Now what?

CEO_Fletcher says:
*FCO* On who's authority?

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Sets course heading 169 Mark 2:: *CEO* The Captain's.

CEO_Fletcher says:
*FCO* He doesn't count.  ::Increases power levels::

FCO_Jadahn says:
*CEO* Thank you, Sir.

OPS_Nichols says:
FCO: He doesn't count?

FCO_Jadahn says:
OPS: Don't worry about it.  XO: Sir, may I engage engines?

OPS_Nichols says:
::Thinks everyone is going crazy::  CNS: Any luck yet?

XO_Madson says:
FCO: Engage!  Engage!

CNS_McDuggle says:
OPS: I have been able to sort out a few.

FCO_Jadahn says:
ALL: Engaging at warp 9.6.  Hold on to your hats, ladies and gents.

TO_Benson says:
::Raises an eyebrow at the FCO's comment and continues to monitor the tactical sensors::

XO_Madson says:
::Raises an eyebrow::

OPS_Nichols says:
CNS: Send them back to me.

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Thinks: I miss my cupcake::

CNS_McDuggle says:
OPS: Roger.  ::Sends the COMs that have been sorted::

Host CO_Loran says:
*CSO* Ensign, you will find a sensor reading in file Loran Omega 1.  When that sensor reading has come into short-range sensors, let me know immediately.

OPS_Nichols says:
XO: Sir, We have a total of 9 channels separated now, Sir.  It appears that all Starfleet ships in our fleet have been ordered to the Nebula.  Several other ships are also heading this way.

XO_Madson says:
OPS: At least we know there is help on the way.

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
*CO* Aye, Sir.

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The COM system fails due to overexertion.

OPS_Nichols says:
Self: That's it!  I'm out of a job.  COM systems are down, Sir.

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Looks around:: OPS: What did you do???

XO_Madson says:
OPS: Oh great.  CSO: Give him a hand getting that back up.

OPS_Nichols says:
*CEO* COM just failed.  Any clue how long before someone can get on it?

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
*CO* Sir.

Host CO_Loran says:
Computer: How can we destroy the molecule?

OPS_Nichols says:
FCO: I didn't do it.  I haven't had time to do it.  Nobody saw me do it.  You can't prove anything.

OPS_Nichols says:
*CEO* You read me?

CNS_McDuggle says:
OPS: Try rerouting then through the internal COM.

OPS_Nichols says:
XO: Internal COM is down also.

Host CO_Loran says:
::Doesn't hear the computer respond and types in the question on his console to bring up the needed information on how to destroy the molecule::

OPS_Nichols says:
XO: Sir, permission to replicate pencil and paper and draft some crewmen into being Yeomen from here to Main Engineering.

XO_Madson says:
OPS: Oh geeze.  TO: Give them a hand as well too.

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The computer displays information on special modifications to quantum torpedoes.

TO_Benson says:
XO: Aye, Sir.

CNS_McDuggle says:
XO: Sir, I will head to Main Engineering and give the CEO a hand.

XO_Madson says:
CNS: Understood.

CNS_McDuggle says:
::Gets up and heads for turbolift:: Main Engineering.

Host CO_Loran says:
::Stores that information into another file for the TO::

OPS_Nichols says:
::Checks on power distribution and finds it stable::

OPS_Nichols says:
::Dumps the recorded COM messages into the computer core and clears her station::

Host CO_Loran says:
::Gets up from his desk and move out onto his Bridge::

CNS_McDuggle says:
::Arrives in Main Engineering:: CEO: I am here to help with what can I do.

XO_Madson says:
::Stands up:: CO: Sir, we have been a little busy out here but what is the news from Starfleet Command?

OPS_Nichols says:
::Sends a console to console to Engineering asking for a repair time::

CEO_Fletcher says:
CNS: Ahh, yes, Commander, help fix the COM system.

Host CO_Loran says:
::Sees a little commotion going on his Bridge and hears his XO's question  but doesn't answer at this moment::  TO: Pull up file Loran Omega 2 and modify our quantum torpedoes to match those modifications.

OPS_Nichols says:
~~~CSO: This is crazy~~~

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: Sensors detect a fold in subspace directly ahead.

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
~~~OPS: You’re telling me?~~~

TO_Benson says:
::Looks to the CO as he gives her the orders:: CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Taps the console bringing up the file.  Reads the modifications::

CEO_Fletcher says:
::Goes over to the COM relays::

CNS_McDuggle says:
CEO: I will see what I can do.  ::Goes over to a panel and checks for broken parts::

TO_Benson says:
CO: Excuse me, Sir, but how many quantum torpedoes of this configuration would you like modified?

OPS_Nichols says:
::Sends a second message to the CEO::

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Rubs chin:: Self: Hmm...what's that dead ahead?  ::Plays with sensors to figure it out::

OPS_Nichols says:
XO: Still no answer from Main Engineering regarding a COM repair time.

Host CO_Loran says:
TO: How many torpedoes do we have on board?

FCO_Jadahn says:
XO: Hmm...Sir, some sort of subspace fold ahead.

XO_Madson says:
OPS: Okay.

XO_Madson says:
FCO: Report.

CEO_Fletcher says:
::Checks relays for fractures::

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
CO: Sir, we have a fold in subspace directly ahead.

TO_Benson says:
CO: Sir, we have 120 standard quantum torpedoes in inventory ready to go.

CNS_McDuggle says:
::Finds some burned relays:: Crewman: Hand me that repair kit, please.

Host CO_Loran says:
TO:  Modify all of them.

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO: What kind of subspace fold?

CNS_McDuggle says:
<Crewman> CNS: Sure, Sir, here.  ::Hand the CNS a repair kit::

CEO_Fletcher says:
::Removes five fractured relays and gets five new ones from a repair kit::

TO_Benson says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  That will take about 10 hours to complete.  I'll get right on it.

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
CO: Checking Sir.

CNS_McDuggle says:
::Replaces the burned relays:: CEO: Try the COM system now.

TO_Benson says:
::Taps the console entering the modifications into the tactical systems and begins modifying the quantum torpedo inventory::

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The subspace fold expands to the point of their being no way around it.  The Romulan fleet drops out of warp.

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
CO: It’s the same kind of distortion that knocked out our power in the nebula.

CEO_Fletcher says:
::Hears a beeping:: What the…?  ::Increases power output:: *FCO* Shut down warp in two minutes.

Host CO_Loran says:
FCO:  Emergency stop and get us away from the surge.

OPS_Nichols says:
CO: Sir, if the other ships are stuck, we're going to need some help getting them out of there.

TO_Benson says:
::Hears the proximity alert sound on her tactical console and sees the Romulan vessels drop out of warp::  CO: Sir, Romulan vessels directly aft, Sir.

FCO_Jadahn says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Decreases ship’s speed gradually until they drop out of warp, then adjusts course::

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS: That does not concern me at this point.  We need to get to those coordinates yesterday.

Host CO_Loran says:
FCO: Take us around and away from the surge and get us back on course as soon as possible.

OPS_Nichols says:
CO: Permission to send a distress call for them when our COM system comes back on, Sir?

TO_Benson says:
::Increases power to the aft shields::

OPS_Nichols says:
::Doesn't like leaving  people stranded, even if it is Romulans::

FCO_Jadahn says:
CO: Aye, Sir, proceeding at impulse.

CNS_McDuggle says:
::Starts checking other panels ::

OPS_Nichols says:
CO: Sir, COM will be down for 2-hours for repairs.
