<<<<<<<<<< Begin Mission Week #4 >>>>>>>>>>>
 
CTO_Benson says:
::Standing on the Bridge at the tactical station preparing to beam aboard some of the alien vessel debris:: *CO*: Cargo bay one is full from resupply at the Bajoran Repair station.  I will use cargo bay three instead.
 
CO_Loran says:
::wakes up from his sickbay, wondering what all the commotion is::
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
::enters sickbay :: FCO: have you got the information yet.
 
FCO_Chottu says:
::in sickbay next to the stasis chamber::
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: Captain It is good to see you up.
 
CTO_Benson says:
::Obtains a transporter lock on a large chunk of debris and initiates transport to cargo bay three::
 
FCO_Chottu says:
OPS: No, I just got here sir.
 
CO_Loran says:
OPS:  What has happened?
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
FCO: It should be in the data base. :: goes to console and gets data ::ensign here.
 
Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The debris from the Cyanite craft materializes in Cargo Bay three.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: Sir we had an intruder seemed to beam in from what we believe was the Cyanite ship.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: We had it put in to a stasis chamber and brought here as it seemed to have trouble breathing our air.
 
CO_Loran says:
::gets up from the sickbay bed and walks over to the stasis chamber and looks through the window, hoping to see the creature::
 
CTO_Benson says:
::Locates another large chunk of debris and locks on with the transporter.  Beams it to cargo bay three::
 
FCO_Chottu says:
::reads the info and attempts to generate the same atmosphere as on the Cyanite ship in the stasis chamber::
 
Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Through the window in the stasis chamber Loran can see the body of the very small Cyanite creature. It appears he is sleeping, but in actuality the Cyanite is in a deep state of unconsciousness.
 
CO_Loran says:
OPS:  Have we figured out what is wrong with it?
 
CTO_Benson says:
::Locates some badly damaged devices from the alien vessel and beams them to the cargo bay::
 
Host Jafo says:
ACTION: More debris is beamed to Cargo Bay three.
 
FCO_Chottu says:
OPS: I'm trying to copy the atmospheric conditions now sir.
 
Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The stasis chamber fills up with a blue luminescent liquid.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: Not completely but we have created it's atmosphere in the stasis chamber and hope that helps.
 
CO_Loran says:
OPS:  I want a level ten force field placed around the stasis chamber until we see what this creature does once he has his own atmosphere.
 
CTO_Benson says:
::Continues to beam debris into the cargo bay then stops when the cargo bay is almost full::
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: Roger Sir. :: erects force field::
 
FCO_Chottu says:
OPS: This should do it, checking now sir. ::scans the creature inside the stasis chamber to find out if it's breathing right::
 
CTO_Benson says:
::Taps her COM badge:: *OPS*: I have filled cargo bay three with the debris from the alien vessel.  I will notify the science department to send in a team.

OPS_McDuggle says:
*CTO*: Roger I will let the Captain know.
 
FCO_Chottu says:
OPS: The Cyanite appears to be breathing alright now, his vitals are stabilizing.
 
Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The Tactical sensor array picks up a 'dead zone' in space similar to that which originally disguised the Cyanite vessel. The area of null space seems to be approaching the Titan at a high speed. It then detects another ... and eventually another.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
FCO: Roger lets turn it over to the Doc now. CMO: Doc,  glad to see you.
 
FCO_Chottu says:
OPS: I'll head back for the bridge sir.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: Sir if you have things in hand here I will head back to the bridge?
 
Host CO_Loran says:
::moves aside and lets the doc in::  CMO:  I'm heading back to the bridge myself.  Let me know of anything that you find out about this Cyanite creature in the stasis chamber.
 
CMO_Madson says:
OPS: Thanks, I'm feeling much better.  All: Can someone update me on the status of the creature and its atmosphere?
 
CTO_Benson says:
::Checks the tactical monitor and sees several anomalies forming:: *OPS*: Sensors are picking up several strange anomalies rapidly approaching the Titan.
 
FCO_Chottu says:
::enters TL:: TL: Bridge
 
CTO_Benson says:
*OPS*: The anomalies resemble the one that disguised the alien vessel.
 
CTO_Benson says:
All: Going to red alert!  ::Taps the console::
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
*CTO* :Roger we are on our way to the bridge now. Just use your judgement till we get there.
 
CTO_Benson says:
::Powers up all the weapons and raises shields::
 
Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Soon the Titan's sensor are able to detect 472 individual spatial null zones which could be hiding cloaked Cyanite vessels as they approach the Titan's position.
 
Host CO_Loran says:
OPS:  Fill in the Doc as quickly as possible, then, head to the bridge.  I need to get up to the bridge myself.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: Roger Sir
 
FCO_Chottu says:
::watches the TL doors open and walks onto the bridge::
 
Host CO_Loran says:
::turns and leaves the sickbay, feeling a little stiff in his left leg from that resurfaced wound and enters a TL::  TL:  Bridge.
 
CTO_Benson says:
*OPS*: Sensors are detecting 472 of these strange anomalies, call could potentially disguise one alien vessel.
 
XO_Madson says:
::heading down to Cargo Bay 3 with a tricorder and PADD in hand::
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CMO: Doc the creature in the chamber we believe to be a Cyanite.
 
XO_Madson says:
::walks into the Cargo Bay and starts running scans on the debris::
 
CTO_Benson says:
FCO: Turn to heading 259 Mark 435, full impulse.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
*CTO*: Roger try and keep us at a safe distance for now
 
FCO_Chottu says:
::quickly takes over Flight Control and changes heading:: CTO: Aye sir, 259 Mark 435.
 
Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The sensor null areas quickly surround the Titan and take position relative to her as they keep pace with the Federation vessel.
 
Host CO_Loran says:
::feels the TL come to a stop and watches as the doors open to reveal the bridge.  He steps out of the TL and onto the bridge::  CTO:  Status?
 
CMO_Madson says:
OPS: Why do you think it is a Cyanite?  Could it be something else?  Has anyone seen a Cyanite?
 
CTO_Benson says:
CO: We are surrounded by these strange anomalies, Sir.  They are keeping pace with us.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CMO: We believe that because it came from a Cyanite ship.
 
CTO_Benson says:
CO: Sensors are detecting 472 of these anomalies, each capable of disguising one alien vessel.  So far, they have not attacked.
 
CTO_Benson says:
CO: Weapons are powered up and ready.  Shields at 100%, Sir.
 
Host CO_Loran says:
::takes his seat on the bridge::  CTO:  From what information we got from the first attack of the Cyanite in sickbay, can you make a guess at the potential damage 472 of them could cause if fired together at the same spot?
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CMO: We have recreated it's atmosphere in the chamber which is a phosphorous rich with bio neural energy.
 
CTO_Benson says:
CO: Working on it, Sir.....::Taps the console directing the computer to hypothesize::
 
XO_Madson says:
::takes in more scans of the vessel debris::
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CMO: More than that we don't have much information
 
CTO_Benson says:
::Looks up from her console towards the command chair:: CO: Sir, the combined destructive force from these vessels could be devastating to the Titan however information gathered from the reports of the Scorpius and Apache indicate they will only attack in large groups.  I think this situation qualifies.
 
Host CO_Loran says:
CTO:  Open hailing frequencies, broadband.
 
CTO_Benson says:
CO: Aye, Sir. ::Taps the console opening hailing frequencies:: Hailing frequencies opened, Sir.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CMO: If you need any thing else I will be on the bridge.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
::Heads for TL:: TL: Bridge.
 
CMO_Madson says:
OPS:  I'll let you know if there's anything else I find.
 
XO_Madson says:
::finishes running scans on the debris, now having an idea of what it might be, and heads back to the bridge::
 
Host CO_Loran says:
COMM:  Cyanite:  This is Captain Loran of the USS Titan.  We responded to a distress call from one of your vessels.  From what we could tell, its engine exploded and he beamed to our ship.  We have him in a stasis chamber with what we could figure out to be your atmosphere.   
 
Host Jafo says:
ACTION: A single Cyanite vessel, directly ahead of the USS Titan, decloaks and enters normal space.
 
XO_Madson says:
::steps out of the TL onto the bridge::

CTO_Benson says:
CO: Vessel on sensors!
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
::arrive on bridge and head for OPS console::
 
TO_Williams says:
::Walks out of the bathroom:: Self: That felt good.... wow that was 20 minutes... sheesh.
 
TO_Williams says:
*CTO*: Reporting Ma’am... orders?
 
CTO_Benson says:
::Watches the emerging Cyanite vessel on her tactical monitor.  Targets the vessel with her targeting scanners::
 
CTO_Benson says:
*TO*: Report to the Bridge, on the double, Lieutenant.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CTO: I can take over Comm.’s now and thanks.
 
TO_Williams says:
::heads for Turbolift:: *CTO*: Aye, sir.
 
CTO_Benson says:
::Nods to McDuggle::
 
Host CO_Loran says:
ALL:  I want no offensive actions taken until we find out what is going on here.
 
FCO_Chottu says:
CO: Sir, the Cyanite vessel is decreasing speed, we'll fly into them if we don't slow down as well.
 
Host CO_Loran says:
FCO:  All stop.
 
TO_Williams says:
::Goes up Turbolift, and doors slide open to reveal the bridge, the TO approaches the busy CTO cautiously:: CTO: Here ma’am.
 
XO_Madson says:
::starts downloading debris information into his console on the bridge and then starts trying to look for indications of ship systems such as propulsion and weapons::
 
Host Cyanite_Leader says:
ACTION: The Cyanite vessel, along with the other 471 possible Cyanite vessels, slow to a stop. The decloaked one comes about, facing the Titan.
 
FCO_Chottu says:
::sets engines to all stop:: CO: Aye sir, all stop.

CTO_Benson says:
::Runs scans on the vessel:: CO: Sir, from what I have read of these vessels, this vessel is fully powered.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: Hailing frequencies still open.
 
Host CO_Loran says:
OPS:  Mute.
 
CTO_Benson says:
TO: Take tactical two, Lieutenant.  Prepare to fire phasers.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: Roger Sir. :: mutes Communications.::
 
CMO_Madson says:
Computer: Scan creature.  Show all organs.  Then show circulatory activity of body.  Show circulatory activity of brain.
 
TO_Williams says:
CTO: Aye, ::TO takes tactical beside CTO::  CTO: Tactical Two on-line.
 
TO_Williams says:
::Powers phasers:: CTO: Phasers on-line
 
CTO_Benson says:
TO: Stand by, Lieutenant.
 
Host CO_Loran says:
OPS:  Have you been able to figure out their language yet with the universal translator and the files from the other two ships that ran into the Cyanites?
 
FCO_Chottu says:
CO: I don't know if we've found a way to communicate with them yet, but if not perhaps sending a copy of the earlier COMM, from the Cyanite we have in sickbay, would be an idea.
 
CTO_Benson says:
::Switches her weapons control to torpedoes::
 
TO_Williams says:
::Readies all phaser arrays:: CTO: On your mark.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: I'm still working on it .But our information from Star Fleet was incomplete.
 
Host Cyanite_Leader says:
ACTION: A sudden clicking and chittering is heard over the Titan's speakers. It is loud and shrill and hurts Chottu's sensitive ears, leaving them ringing.
 
CTO_Benson says:
::Gets an idea:: *CMO*: Doctor, what is the status of the alien creature?
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
::sends message through translator again ::
 
Host CO_Loran says:
::looks at McDuggle::  OPS:  Any more helpful with that communication?
 
FCO_Chottu says:
::grabs his ears:: Self: I wish they'd stop doing that!
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: Trying sir.
 
CMO_Madson says:
*OPS*:  Reporting in. Computer scans show brain activity far superior and more active than human functioning.  No arterial structure is apparent in the creatures' body.
 
CTO_Benson says:
::Winces at the chittering over the speakers::
 
Host CO_Loran says:
OPS:  Send them the communication log from when we first arrived here with the one in sickbay.
 
CEO_Fletcher says:
:: On  the Bridge monitoring systems ::
 
CTO_Benson says:
CO: Sir, why not allow the creature in Sickbay communicate to his fleet?  He might tell them we saved his life.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
*CMO* : could telepathy be possible
 
Host Cyanite_Leader says:
COM: Titan: Click ,click ... chitter, click, chitter, click cliey. What is the status of our pilot?
 
Host CO_Loran says:
Self:  Finally...  OPS:  Unmute communications.
 
CMO_Madson says:
*CTO*: I believe the creature is in a state of unconsciousness or in a coma.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: sir we are getting something now ::unmutes Communications::
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: Communications opened.
 
TO_Williams says:
::Arranges phasers for low energy pulses, for the weaker ships, but much faster shooting... to disable them::
 
Host CO_Loran says:
COMM:  Cyanites:  Your pilot appears to be stabilized when last I checked on him.  We were able to figure out your atmosphere and place him in it, or at least a best approximate of your atmosphere and he appeared to have gotten a little better with it.

CTO_Benson says:
::Readies mines to be deployed just in case they need to make a run for it::
 
Host Cyanite_Leader says:
COM: Titan: I see ... I demand that you immediately click chitter chitter click click and we will let you leave unharmed. Fail to do so, and we will chitter chitter click chitter.
 
CEO_Fletcher says:
:: gets repair teams to decks 6 through 10 ::
 
CTO_Benson says:
::Thinks: What is this communication, fill in the blanks?::
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
:: reruns communication back through translator to clear it up::
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: Sir I believe that they want us to beam their crew mate to them.
 
Host CO_Loran says:
COMM:  Cyanite:  Our translator was not able to get all of your communication, but, I believe you wish for your pilot to be released.  We will do so.  Just  give us the coordinates, if we can understand them, and we will release him to you.
 
CTO_Benson says:
CO: How do you know they won't open fire on us after we beam their pilot over?
 
Host Cyanite_Leader says:
COM: Titan: We will beam the pilot our chitter. Lower your chitter click.
 
FCO_Chottu says:
::stuck with a mild headache from the Comm.::
 
TO_Williams says:
::Looks back from CO, to CTO, wondering what to do... waiting patiently for something to happen::
 
CTO_Benson says:
CO: Suggest keeping the pilot until most of the vessels have backed off.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: Sir I suggest we lower shields.
 
Host CO_Loran says:
CTO:  If they wanted to do so, they would have already done so to begin with and taken the pilot forcefully.
 
TO_Williams says:
CO: Can we trust them Sir?  They might attack when they have the chance,
 
CMO_Madson says:
*CTO*: The Cyanite is demanding " that you immediately turn sodielac eson gerba kay and we will let you leave unharmed.  Fail  to do so and we will tinic seyone for la:"  Sorry, don't know what all that means.

CTO_Benson says:
CO: How do you think they could accomplish that, Sir?  The pilot is the only reason they have not opened fire on us.
 
CTO_Benson says:
CO: Suggest you ask them to have their ships back off before transporting their pilot allowing us a fighting chance, Sir.
 
Host CO_Loran says:
CTO:  they could have easily taken the shields down and beamed him over before destroying us.  Lower shields.
 
CTO_Benson says:
CO: Aye, Sir, but I want it on record I do this under protest, Sir.  ::Taps the console lowering the shields::
 
CMO_Madson says:
*OPS*:  The comatose Cyanite is wanting to be released.
 
Host Cyanite_Leader says:
ACTION: As the Titan's shields fall the decloaked Cyanite vessel slowly moves forward till it is within 10,000 km of the hull.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: Sir you will need to have the CMO lower the force field to.
 
CTO_Benson says:
::Turns to look at the TO:: TO: Stand ready, Lieutenant.  ::Raises an eyebrow::
 
TO_Williams says:
::Hopes they aren't going to be attacked... the TO goes over attack statistics in his head, and realizes that lowering the shields would drastically reduce the odds of their survival::
 
Host Cyanite_Leader says:
::turns on visual communications:: COM: Titan: Chitter you...
 
Host CO_Loran says:
*CMO*:  Lower the force field surrounding the stasis chamber.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
*CMO* We are working on that now
 
TO_Williams says:
CTO: Very ready sir. ::The TO shows acute alertness::
 
CMO_Madson says:
::Lowers the force field around the stasis chamber.
  
Host Cyanite_Leader says:
ACTION: In sickbay, the Cyanite dematerializes from within the stasis pod and rematerializes behind the Cyanite on the main viewscreen. The visual communications are then severed and the vessel recloaks as it moves off.
 
Host CO_Loran says:
CTO:  Raise shields.

CTO_Benson says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Raises the shields::
 
Host Cyanite_Leader says:
ACTION: The rest of the null space sensor echoes hang around for several moments before eventually following the first ship away from the Titan.
 
Host CO_Loran says:
COMM:  Cyanite:  I hope that we can open diplomatic relations with your race.
 
CTO_Benson says:
CO: The vessels are leaving the area, Sir.
 
CMO_Madson says:
*OPS*:  Well, the little guy is gone.  Do you know where?
 
FCO_Chottu says:
CO: Should I try to follow them sir?
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
::starts working filling some of the blanks in the Cyanite language and stores them in computer::
 
Host CO_Loran says:
FCO:  No, they might take that as an aggressive action.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: sir no response from the Cyanites;;
 
XO_Madson says:
CO:  Well, It isn't a total loss if they leave without talking.  We have the doctor's bio scans in sickbay, and the debris in the Cargo Bay is what I to believe to be one of their ship's debris.  And I have the scans here.
