CDR_McLir says:
::Sees a bunch of new faces at the bridge consoles::

XO_Keorn says:
::Rubs his hands though his hair worriedly:: McLir; Niall, any news from engineering?

CDR_McLir says:
XO: Repairs are on schedule.

CNS_Mrai says:

CDR_McLir says:
XO: Nothing we can't fix...as usual.

XO_Keorn says:
McLir: Good, I don't want to face it again with out the ship being up to par

SO_Weaver says:

SO_Weaver says:
::Leans against the wall with a thud and waits for it to reach the bridge::

XO_Keorn says:
CNS: What kind of conclusion did you come up with

XO_Keorn says:
TO: Report

CDR_McLir says:
TO: Heading?

CNS_Mrai says:
XO: Sir from what I can figure sir it isn't from one person but a little bit from everybody that was on the ship..

CDR_McLir says:
::Looks sheepishly at XO and moves to vacant Engineering station::

FCO_Falcone says:
::Cheerfully begins running the usual diagnostics and system-checks associated with reporting for bridge duty::

SO_Weaver says:

TO_Dingleberry says:
XO/McLir: Heading... ::frowns:: 30 degrees mark 2 south? ::hits buttons again... realizes it was a bogey from a 19th century game he was running:: Um.. never mind sir.

FCO_Falcone says:
::Glances down at his uniform, and looks aghast at the wrinkles and small Ch'barton tea stain near the hem of his tunic:: Self: This is NOT good.

CDR_McLir says:
::Frowns at TO and checks shield status::

CNS_Mrai says:
XO: but don't ask what the images are of and from who haven't got that far yet just kinda figured out that much so far.

XO_Keorn says:
TO: What do you mean never mind

FCO_Falcone says:
::Glances indignantly at the TO:: Never mind indeed. ::Sticks his nose up in the air::

SO_Weaver says:
Self:  Nothing... ::brings up the data he was working on and places it in one of the sections on the console::  Where was I...?

XO_Keorn says:
::Goes back to pacing::

FCO_Falcone says:
::Tries to use his duty slacks to polish his tarnished duty boots, and sticks his legs further underneath his station::

CDR_McLir says:
TO: How old is that trail we're following?

FCO_Falcone says:
Self: Why me...

CNS_Mrai says:
XO/Cmdr McLir: but maybe you guys can help in holodeck #2 is a bridge setup of the Scimitar maybe you guys can add something that may be missing that may jog an image or two to fall in place..

XO_Keorn says:
CNS: After this duty shift I'd be glad to help

FCO_Falcone says:
::Starts at the counselor's suggestion:: Self: Could it be? Might I get the bridge? ::Waits in eager anticipation::

TO_Dingleberry says:
::hits console:: Cdr: 4 days, sir.

CDR_McLir says:
::Looks at Mr. Mrai, then glances at Keorn and shrugs::

FCO_Falcone says:
::Frowns at the executive officer, and then quickly turns back to his station::

CDR_McLir says:
Mutters: 4 days...let's see...

CNS_Mrai says:
XO: Thank you sir it may help, if you could give your two cents also Cmdr it may just help out in someway..

FCO_Falcone says:
::Brings up an external schematic of the ships heading and course, watching it out of the corner of his eye::

CDR_McLir says:
::punches some buttons to attempt to enhance the sensors::

CDR_McLir says:
CNS: ::without looking at Mrai:: Sure, why not.

SO_Weaver says:
::stops flipping through diagrams::  Self:  Wait...this one might be just what I'm looking for...  ::pulls up specifications on an Intrepid classes' internal systems::

FCO_Falcone says:
::Helpfully:: XO: I could take the bridge right now, commander, if you'd like to attend to the holodeck immediately...?

CNS_Mrai says:
McLir: Sir, any help is better then no help

CDR_McLir says:
CNS: Those images...from one person's viewpoint or multiple viewpoints?

XO_Keorn says:
::looks to McLir to see if he wants to re-live any of it right now::

TO_Dingleberry says:
::running various simulations... suddenly hits another button... stares at console, and starts sweating... profusely::

XO_Keorn says:
TO/SO: Are there any things preventing us from increasing our speed to make up time?

FCO_Falcone says:
::Nervously waits, cocking his head and waiting for a an answer. Folds his hands over his chest to disguise the wrinkled material::

CNS_Mrai says:
McLir: Sir, from what I can figure from multiple viewpoints..

TO_Dingleberry says:
XO_Keorn: Umm... Uh... ::sweating badly::

XO_Keorn says:
TO: what is it

CDR_McLir says:
XO: Mr. Keorn ::looks up from his station at Engineering:: are we sure that last communication came from SB 412?

SO_Weaver says:
::Startled, turns around::  XO:  I don't th... ::lets his voice trail off and looks at the TO::

FCO_Falcone says:
::Mutters:: Self: Or not. Forget I asked. ::Angrily spins on his heel and stalks back to his console::

CEO_Jarek says:
:: In main Engineering::

TO_Dingleberry says:
XO_Keorn: Do you have the disarm codes for the tactical pod's tricobalt devices?

XO_Keorn says:
TO: Yes why?

TO_Dingleberry says:
XO_Keorn: My... err... ::stuttering badly:: My simulation armed the warheads on a countdown.

CDR_McLir says:
*CEO* Mr. Jarek, have we got all the backup generators on line?

SO_Weaver says:
::Looks at the XO::

XO_Keorn says:
::moves to Tac console and disarms warheads::

FCO_Falcone says:
::Jumps about a meter in the air:: Self: Maybe I could help take a shuttle for a survey of... oh, Vulcan or somewhere.

XO_Keorn says:
::readout on countdown reading 5 sec before detonation::

CEO_Jarek says:
*CDR_McLir* Aye sir fully operational

CDR_McLir says:
::Hears the FCO and shakes his head::

SO_Weaver says:
::Shakes his head and turns back to his station::

TO_Dingleberry says:
::quickly leaves the bridge in the hubbub around his station::

FCO_Falcone says:
::Cranes his neck to glance at the commander and smirks wanly::

XO_Keorn says:
::Looks at FCO:: FCO: I think your suggestion may be a good one

CEO_Jarek says:
*CDR_McLir* On line now sir

FCO_Falcone says:
XO: Which?

CDR_McLir says:
*CEO* Good, I made some adjustments to the sensors to enhance them.

XO_Keorn says:
McLir: Do you want to go with me, or sit in an advisory position here?

FCO_Falcone says:
::Self: Go with you... go with you...::

CEO_Jarek says:
*CDR_McLir* Aye sir ,when you have a moment I would like to see you about some shield enhancements I have come up with

CDR_McLir says:
*CEO* Maybe later...going with the XO just now.

FCO_Falcone says:
::Looks expectantly at the XO::

CDR_McLir says:
::Nods affirmative to XO::

XO_Keorn says:
::looks around for the TO::

SO_Weaver says:
::sighs and cross-references some data on the certain pathogen::

XO_Keorn says:
Computer: Locate TO_Dingleberry

CDR_McLir says:
::Steps over to Keorn and repeats his question::

TO_Dingleberry says:
::sitting in his quarters in a dark corner... halfway crying like a kid... wants to go back to Earth's tactical planning department::

CDR_McLir says:
XO: Are we sure that last comm from SB 412 was real?

CEO_Jarek says:
CNS:~~~~ What’s going on around here ~~~~

CDR_McLir says:
::Notes that the tactical consoles are unmanned::

Host Scooter says:
<Computer> XO: Crewman Dingleberry is in his quarters.

FCO_Falcone says:
::Mumbles something thankfully incoherent to the XO's ears and sits back down again::

XO_Keorn says:
McLir: I haven't checked the source info, why

CNS_Mrai says:
CEO: ~~~~ umm I don't know, it's these grave shift bridge people how did we ever let them up here. ~~~~~

CEO_Jarek says:
:: Continues working on his Nucleonic shield device::

CDR_McLir says:
XO: Perhaps we should postpone the holodeck experience.

Host Scooter says:
ACTION: Alarm (albeit a silent, small, flashy light) goes off on TO console.

SO_Weaver says:
Self:  85 percent.  Not bad, but I want better...  ::runs a search for all pathogens of a similar substructure::

FCO_Falcone says:
::Imitates the commander mockingly under his breath, and breaks off::

XO_Keorn says:
McLir: What do you have in mind?

CEO_Jarek says:
CNS:~~~~ An answer we may be dying to hear ~~~~

CDR_McLir says:
XO: Well, which communication should we believe; the one from McDowell or the one from Edwards?

XO_Keorn says:
::moves to Tac station to see what alarm is::

CDR_McLir says:
::Steps toward OPS console::

FCO_Falcone says:
::Moves his chair to make way for the commander::

XO_Keorn says:
::presses a button to report alarm info::

CEO_Jarek says:
:: Stops his experiment and heads for the TL::

CNS_Mrai says:
CEO: ~~~~ Not to sure that I’m dying to hear the answer but somebody needs to re-look at there qualifications I think ~~~~

CDR_McLir says:
::Brings up the both the communications::

CEO_Jarek says:
CNS:~~~~ Agreed, Agreed ~~~~

CEO_Jarek says:
:: Enters TL:: Bridge

XO_Keorn says:
::aligns sensor portions of pod to scan distortions detected in torpedo launch tube::

SO_Weaver says:
Computer:  Save progress and return to normal station configuration.  ::Watches as the sensor data appears on the screen::

CDR_McLir says:
Self: So, the comm from McDowell is from an unknown subspace link and the one from Edwards is familiar.

CEO_Jarek says:
:: Exits TL on the Bridge, Looks around for a second::

CEO_Jarek says:
:: Walks towards Engineering 1 console::

CDR_McLir says:
::Nods to Jarek as he enters::

XO_Keorn says:
SO: There are some unusual subspace readings within the launch tubes of the new pod check them out

CEO_Jarek says:
:: Returns Nod to the CDR::

XO_Keorn says:
McLir: Can you take TAC station

CDR_McLir says:
XO: Of course. ::moves to TAC::

SO_Weaver says:
XO:  Aye sir.  ::Activates the pod sensors and runs a preliminary sweep::  Confirmed...I'm looking into it sir.

CDR_McLir says:
::Looks at the readings::

CDR_McLir says:
::Frowns and punches some buttons to ensure the warheads are disarmed::

CEO_Jarek says:
:: Enters his clearance codes into the console::

CNS_Mrai says:
CEO: Hello Mr. Jarek

CEO_Jarek says:
CNS: Hello Counselor

XO_Keorn says:
::Moves to ":big Chair":: CNS sorry but we will have to postpone the holodeck time

XO_Keorn says:
FCO: I appreciate your suggestion and will remember it in the future

CEO_Jarek says:
CDR_McLir: Sir about those shield modifications

Host Scooter says:
ACTION: The warheads rearm

CNS_Mrai says:
XO: Sir, that’s ok it will be up and running on a continues loop as long as I need it.

XO_Keorn says:
::Changes warhead codes and deactivates them::

CDR_McLir says:
SELF: Damn...::hits the buttons again::

CDR_McLir says:
XO: Warheads keep rearming.

XO_Keorn says:
McLir: I have changed the codes so they shouldn't rearm again

CEO_Jarek says:
XO: Can they be disarmed manually

CDR_McLir says:
XO: ::Looks up:: Yeah, right.

Host Scooter says:
ACTION: Readings of the odd subspace anomalies change from the sensor area of the pod to the computer core.

XO_Keorn says:
McLir: check into the program that is running,

CDR_McLir says:
::Checks the program::

CDR_McLir says:
::Shakes head:: XO: The tactical program is normal.

SO_Weaver says:
XO:  Sir, the anomalous readings, appear to be moving.  In the core section of the pod...

CDR_McLir says:
::Rechecks the connections to the launchers::

CDR_McLir says:
::Starts looking at the launcher programs one line at a time::

XO_Keorn says:
SO: Could it be the Opeongo?

Host Scooter says:
ACTION: After a short delay from the movement of the anomaly... the launchers rearm again

CDR_McLir says:
Computer: Computer, run level five diagnostic on the torpedo launch programs.

SO_Weaver says:
::shakes his head::  XO:  At this point, I'd say it could.

XO_Keorn says:
CNS: can you feel anything

SO_Weaver says:
::pulls up sensor logs from the first time the torpedoes armed::  Self:  I wonder if it was the simulation that caused it...

CDR_McLir says:
XO: Armed again. ::punches more buttons::

Host Scooter says:
<Computer> McLir: Launch control is active and on hot standby. Code integrity is authentic.

CEO_Jarek says:
:: Looks at the Counselor::

CDR_McLir says:
Computer: Take torpedo launcher off line.

CNS_Mrai says:
XO: Sir as of right now no if you mean do I feel anything like the "O" again, oops hold on yes I’m starting to get some thing like probes but from a distance not very strong as of yet...

XO_Keorn says:
CNS: Are they directed at us in particular

CEO_Jarek says:
:: Again looks at the Counselor::

Host Scooter says:
<Computer> McLir: Launch control offline.

CNS_Mrai says:
:: massages temple's:: Self: I think I’ll need more tea ordered.

SO_Weaver says:
::Sees the distortions 'entered' the pod slightly before the first incident::

CNS_Mrai says:
XO: Sir ,there so distant in origin I can't really tell right now.

CDR_McLir says:
CEO: Mr. Jarek, I suggest you have a team do a visual check of the tactical pallets; look for fried circuits...that kind of thing.

SO_Weaver says:
::Cross-references this data with a few of the previous sensor readings::

CEO_Jarek says:
CDR_McLir: Aye sir

XO_Keorn says:
SO: any reason we can't increase speed?

SO_Weaver says:
XO:  Sir... ::hesitates::  None that I can see.

CDR_McLir says:
Self: This is too convenient...we get a new pod at SB 412...McDowell leaves but his ship is still there...strange communications...just too much.

XO_Keorn says:
FCO: Increase speed to Warp 6

CEO_Jarek says:
:: Contacts Engineering ,Has team 1 do a visual on the Tac. Pallets::

CNS_Mrai says:
XO: Sir, if I where to guess it's almost like there looking behind them, searching for something or someone..

CEO_Jarek says:
CNS: Be careful Counselor

CDR_McLir says:
CNS: Thoughts are transmitted by electrical impulse correct?

CNS_Mrai says:
XO: just very random flashes barely even noticeable, Sir

SO_Weaver says:
XO:  I have readings on the anomaly...it seems the same subspace tunneling procedure detected that Admiral McDowell used to contact us, is similar in nature to the anomaly in the pod control.

CNS_Mrai says:
CDR_McLir: Sir, in a way yes.

CDR_McLir says:
CNS: The same with telepaths?

CEO_Jarek says:
XO: I may have come up with a solution for the thought transmission dilemma sir

CDR_McLir says:
::Turns to SO:: Mr. Weaver, is there an electrical component to that signal?

XO_Keorn says:
McLir: send out a class VIII probe with it going at Warp 8 on our current heading, following the same trail we are on

XO_Keorn says:
CEO: What do you have

CDR_McLir says:
XO: Aye.

CDR_McLir says:
::prepares the probe::

CEO_Jarek says:
XO: I have been working on Nucleonic wave energy bursts for the Shields

CNS_Mrai says:
CDR_McLir: Yes, we ;as in telepaths; can just pick up on the impulse's much easier..

CEO_Jarek says:
XO: Every time I test them my own abilities are effected

CEO_Jarek says:
XO: quite effectively

CNS_Mrai says:
CDR: which is why we would have to "train" a non telepath to accept communication from one of us.

XO_Keorn says:
FCO: once the probe is launched and we are getting telemetry I want us going at a new heading, 015 mark 15 at Warp 9

SO_Weaver says:
::Punches a few buttons on the console and turns back::  XO:  No sir...at least, I don't see it.

XO_Keorn says:
CEO: what kind of effect do you feel?

CEO_Jarek says:
XO: Blank sir, no thought transmissions at all

CEO_Jarek says:
XO: However there is a side effect

XO_Keorn says:
CEO: how long can we continue that?

FCO_Falcone says:
XO: Right-o.

FCO_Falcone says:
XO: On your mark, sir.

XO_Keorn says:
McLir: Launch Probe

CEO_Jarek says:
XO: Each burst can last to now 2.55 minutes

Host Scooter says:
ACTION: Probe launches

CDR_McLir says:
XO: aye ::launches probe::

CEO_Jarek says:
XO: I designed them for close drill with Opeongo

XO_Keorn says:
CEO: How can we test them vs. stronger telepathic transmissions, other than confronting the Opeongo

Host Scooter says:
<FCO> ::drops the ship at warp 9 on the specified course::

CEO_Jarek says:
XO: If the Counselor won't mind .................

CEO_Jarek says:
XO: He would be a good candidate

XO_Keorn says:
CEO: ok we will test that in a little while

CNS_Mrai says:
:: massages temple's ::CEO/XO: Mind umm well I guess we could give it a try ::gulps:: just have plenty of my tea on hand would ya..

Host Scooter says:
ACTION: The subspace anomaly refocuses on the probe, losing track of Triton. After a moment, probe's self-destruct activates and the anomaly is lost

CEO_Jarek says:
XO: If it works sir I can have it aligned with the main shields in less than an hour
