<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<begin mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_Weaver says:
::In the Ready Room, more or less looking for some work::

TO_Secturial says:
::on the bridge, at tac1, going over the tactical readouts::

Host CO_Weaver says:
Self:  Hmm...  ::Observes his desktop, which is clear of all PADDs, for once, and leans back in his chair, satisfied::

MO_Brooks says:
::Picking a PADD up from her desk in the main sickbay, and walks out of the bay and down the corridor, into the turbolift::

XO_Knight says:
::sitting in his chair, going over all known information on DS 1 and the situation around the region::  TO: Weapons status?

FCO_Tkain says:
::At flight control on the bridge::

CMO_Izartti says:
::Enters SiB... and looks around... doesn't head for the office first...::

CEO_Jarek says:
::In sickbay on a biobed::

XO_Knight says:
FCO: ETA to DS 1?

FCO_Tkain says:
XO: ETA is Six Hours, sir.

MO_Brooks says:
Turbolift: Bridge.  ::Leans back against the turbolift wall, staring ahead for a moment to collect her thoughts::

TO_Secturial says:
::hears the XO's comment and quickly checks weapons status::  XO: All weapons systems at nominal levels, Commander...

XO_Knight says:
FCO: Thank you

XO_Knight says:
TO: Thank you

CEO_Jarek says:
Adun: What is your answer?

FCO_Tkain says:
::Concentrates his Vulcan mind on the course at hand::

CMO_Izartti says:
CEO_Jarek:  You knew my answer from our meld....

Host CO_Weaver says:
::Stands out of his chair and stretches, still tired even after his nap.  Wanders onto the bridge::

CEO_Jarek says:
Adun: Than my wife you will be?

XO_Knight says:
*CMO*  Dr. Izartti?  Is Sick Bay ready for any casualties we might encounter?

FCO_Tkain says:
ALL: Captain on the bridge.

TO_Secturial says:
::quickly comes to attention::

XO_Knight says:
::Sees CO enter from RR and stands at AA::

Host CO_Weaver says:
All:  At ease.  ::Not quite so irritated by the proclamation as he might usually be::

CMO_Izartti says:
CEO_Jarek:  Wait.... ::hears comm, looks around sickbay:: *XO* Aye... it is...

XO_Knight says:
CO: So far everything is going smoothly sir

XO_Knight says:
*CMO*  Acknowledged Dr. Thank you

CMO_Izartti says:
::Turns her attention back to Jarek::

Host CO_Weaver says:
XO:  Excellent.  ::Clasps his hands together::  Estimated time of arrival to Deep Space One?

XO_Knight says:
CO: Six hours sir

TO_Secturial says:
::eases and returns to checking the photon torpedo launchers readouts, comparing them with earlier reports::

Host CO_Weaver says:
XO:  Very well.  ::Looks unusually at ease, walks over to Master Situations and looks things over::

XO_Knight says:
::brings up a map of the area on his console, trying to see if there is a natural reason for the lack of communications::

CMO_Izartti says:
CEO_Jarek:  You had my answer in the meld.... ::smiles::

FCO_Tkain says:
CO/XO: Sirs, I've noted that approximately seven vessels have adjusted their courses in the last twelve hours.

FCO_Tkain says:
CO/XO: All in the areas of Deep Space One.

Host CO_Weaver says:
::Absently, still looking at the panel::  FCO:  What sort of vessels are we talking about here?  Freighters?

CEO_Jarek says:
Adun: I Love you

XO_Knight says:
::doesn't think he's going to like the answer:: FCO: And how close together time-wise?

FCO_Tkain says:
CO: Three Freighters. One Andorian Mark III Class. Two Rigellian Mark V Class. Two "resort vessels" Paris Class. Two Ferengi Vessels.

CMO_Izartti says:
CEO_Jarek:  And I you.... ::gives him a kiss::

FCO_Tkain says:
XO: Within a short distance of themselves, they were avoiding Deep Space One's home system.

FCO_Tkain says:
CO/XO: No reports on why, however.

TO_Secturial says:
::focuses his attention on the FCO's comments::  Self: hmm...sounds fishy...

XO_Knight says:
::hears Ferengi:: CO: Ferengi? ::looks at the CO:: CO: Sir, do you think it could have anything to do with the nanoprobes?

CEO_Jarek says:
MO: Doctor would you contact the bridge and tell the Captain I wish to speak with him?

Host CO_Weaver says:
::Walks back down to the sunken command area::  XO:  I doubt it.  But it's hard to say.  FCO:  Has any contact been made with these 
vessels...an inquiry regarding their course changes?

FCO_Tkain says:
CO: Not that I can determine sir.

XO_Knight says:
CO: Something definitely doesn't add up

Host CO_Weaver says:
XO:  No, not quite.  FCO:  We need to compile some data on these vessels...see if we can find a link.

TO_Secturial says:
::activates tactical sensors and begins a general sensors sweep of the region::

CMO_Izartti says:
*CO* Mr. Jarek wishes to speak with you sir.

FCO_Tkain says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::Begins compiling all navigational data, requesting some information from science on the subject. Letting tac. handle the other data::

Host CO_Weaver says:
::Frowns a bit..hates it when his train of thought is interrupted::  *CMO*  Can he report to the bridge?

CMO_Izartti says:
::Leaves Jarek's side a moment, wandering around sickbay, checking to see that all is in order::

XO_Knight says:
TO: Anything showing up on LRS?

CMO_Izartti says:
::turns to look at Jarek, looking for his response to the Captain's question::

Host CO_Weaver says:
::Watching the conn over Mr. Tkain's shoulder::

TO_Secturial says:
::quietly waits for the scan results to come in::  XO: Waiting for the results, Sir..

CEO_Jarek says:
:: Nods yes::

XO_Knight says:
TO: Acknowledged......just let me know when they're complete

CMO_Izartti says:
*CO* He'll be on his way shortly...

TO_Secturial says:
::nods at the XO::  XO: Aye, Sir..

CEO_Jarek says:
:: Begins to sit::

Host CO_Weaver says:
*CMO*  All right.  I'll expect him, then.  Weaver out.

TO_Secturial says:
::blinks at the comm message coming in::  CO: Captain...we have an distress call coming in, audio only...

CEO_Jarek says:
CMO: My COMM Badge?

Host CO_Weaver says:
TO:  Origin?  ::Snaps out of his trance, backing away toward his chair::

XO_Knight says:
::turns his head back towards Tac::

FCO_Tkain says:
::Raises eye brow::

CMO_Izartti says:
::retrieves his comm badge for him:: CEO: Get out of here before I find a reason to keep you.... ::smiles, approaching him slowly, satisfied with her inspection of sickbay, still holding the badge::

TO_Secturial says:
CO: Trying to backtrace now.. ::tries to locate the source of the distress call::

CEO_Jarek says:
Adun: I will stay if you wish

Host CO_Weaver says:
TO:  Play it through if you have it, in the meantime.  ::Folds his arms in front of him::

CEO_Jarek says:
::takes COMM badge::

TO_Secturial says:
::nods at the CO::  CO: Understood....  ::puts the distress call on bridge audio::

CEO_Jarek says:
::Takes the CMO in his arms and kisses her::

Host Tukan says:
ACTION:  the message plays static with an non-understandable word every now and then

CMO_Izartti says:
::holds fast to his badge... smiling:: CEO: tempting... ::straightens his hair with her free hand::

CEO_Jarek says:
CMO: I will be back

FCO_Tkain says:
CO: Sir, it seems that something is heavily distorting communications in that region. That explains why there hasn't been any communications between the vessels 
avoiding Deep Space One.

TO_Secturial says:
::hears the distress call::  CO: I'll try to clear it up some more...

CMO_Izartti says:
::spins him back to her for a moment:: CEO: Wait one.... ::pins his badge on him::

CEO_Jarek says:
::Heads for the door::

CEO_Jarek says:
::Smiles as she pins his Badge on him::

XO_Knight says:
CO: Sir, maybe we should launch a pod when we get closer.....take a look around if it's comm systems don't get fried too

Host CO_Weaver says:
FCO:  Yes, that may explain a good deal...  Can it be determined how far the interference extends?

CEO_Jarek says:
::Touches her face and leaves::

CMO_Izartti says:
::Turns around once he leaves and pulls out all the biobed kits... checking the stock in each::

CEO_Jarek says:
::Enters the Bridge::

TO_Secturial says:
::boosts power to the comm array::  CO: Nothing, Captain....since I can't get an exact fix on the source, it's as good as it is, for now...

FCO_Tkain says:
CO: Throughout the Puaeno Grande Star System where DS One is based, sir.

CEO_Jarek says:
::Reports to the CO::

Host CO_Weaver says:
XO:  Agreed.  I don't want to unwittingly fall into the same interference...  TO:  Prepare a probe for launch.

CEO_Jarek says:
CO: Lt Commander Jarek reporting sir

XO_Knight says:
FCO: These course variations all started about a week ago?  ::Smiles and nods towards the CO::

Host CO_Weaver says:
CEO:  Commander, you wanted to speak to me?  ::Turns to the CEO, still pensive::

CMO_Izartti says:
::pushes all the kits back in... moves off to check the few patients... then off to the surgical ward to inspect its readiness::

CEO_Jarek says:
CO: I have a request sir, I know I don't deserve on but I have one just the same

FCO_Tkain says:
XO: Within the last twenty-four hours, sir, that is when the vessels came into the area of DS One. I'll have to check with the local subspace sensor / communications hub 
for additional data on the subject.

XO_Knight says:
FCO: Thank you .... My mistake ::smiles::

TO_Secturial says:
CO: Aye, Captain.... ::begins preparing the launch of a standard probe::

FCO_Tkain says:
::Wonders why the XO continuously smiles::

Host CO_Weaver says:
::Nods once, considering::  CEO:  Very well.

CEO_Jarek says:
:: Looks around the bridge::

CEO_Jarek says:
CO: You have the right to perform marriage ceremonies sir

XO_Knight says:
::wonders why the FCO looked at him strangely::

TO_Secturial says:
::looks at the CO as the probe is ready for launch::  CO: Captain, the probe is ready for launch...

Host CO_Weaver says:
::Both eyebrows arch...the very last thing he expected to hear::  CEO:  ...Uhm, yes..I suppose I do.  ::Squirms a bit::

CEO_Jarek says:
CO:  I would respectfully request you marry the CMO and I

CEO_Jarek says:
CO: She has agreed to be my Adun

XO_Knight says:
TO: ETA for probe to reach close enough to give us any data?

FCO_Tkain says:
::Sends a data request to the local subspace sensor / communications hub-relay for data on the Puaeno Grande Star System::

Host CO_Weaver says:
::Gulps::  CEO:  ...Achara Izartti?  We are talking about the same CMO..right?

CEO_Jarek says:
CO: Is there a problem sir?

CMO_Izartti says:
::looks at a small mess in the surgical ward... calls in a nurse to help her resterilize it::

Host CO_Weaver says:
CEO:  No..!  No, there's not a problem at all, it's just... ::Feels a bit sick to his stomach...the very thought of that woman tends to create the 
feeling::  ...I mean, if you're sure, that's what you want to do..

CEO_Jarek says:
CO: I am

TO_Secturial says:
::thinks for a moment and calculates the ETA::  XO: 3 Hours, Commander...

Host CO_Weaver says:
::Scratches his head, utterly baffled:: ::Lowers his voice a bit::  CEO:  Well...I can perform the ceremony...sometime after this mission, I think.  
Unless you were planning on sooner...?

XO_Knight says:
TO: Would it take that long for it to clear up the distortions in the signal we're receiving?

CEO_Jarek says:
CO: At your convenience

TO_Secturial says:
XO: Unknown at this time, Sir...

XO_Knight says:
TO: Understood, it was a gamble

Host CO_Weaver says:
::Nods::  CEO:  When we're through here, maybe a week or so.  It looks like we might be dealing with something serious near Deep Space One.

TO_Secturial says:
XO: Better something then nothing, Sir...  ::smiles::

CMO_Izartti says:
::leaves the nurses to their work & heads to her office::

XO_Knight says:
TO: That's what the very first CTO I served with would say Mr. Secturial

Host Tukan says:
ACTION:  the Triton drops from warp

FCO_Tkain says:
::Raises eyebrow as the ship is thrust from warp::

CEO_Jarek says:
CO: May I be of assistance sir?

XO_Knight says:
::feels the ship come out of warp::

Host CO_Weaver says:
::Feels the slight pull from the drop to sublight, as the IDF compensates::  CEO:  ...I think we might.

CEO_Jarek says:
CO: Give the word sir

Host CO_Weaver says:
FCO:  Helm, what just happened?  ::Pretty sure he knows, but wants to confirm::

TO_Secturial says:
::feels the Triton drop from warp and looks at the FCO::  Self: Oh no...now got it...

XO_Knight says:
TO: LRS immediately Mr. Secturial

FCO_Tkain says:
CO: We are unable to develop a warp field, sir ... I'm trying to move the ship via impulse to an area where we can. ::Tries::

TO_Secturial says:
::nods::  XO: Aye, Sir....  ::quickly opens up a new window and initiates a LRS Sweep::

Host CO_Weaver says:
FCO:  You suspect a spatial anomaly then?

FCO_Tkain says:
CO: Perhaps, sir. I am unable to determine as such.

XO_Knight says:
CO: could that area of distortion have reached that far already?

Host CO_Weaver says:
::Turns back to Jarek::  CEO:  Check with Engineering;  make certain this isn't an internal problem.

XO_Knight says:
::runs over all the possible reasons the Triton would just drop out of warp, besides an anomaly::

FCO_Tkain says:
CO/XO: We are able to develop a warp field again, sirs.

CEO_Jarek says:
CO: Aye sir

Host CO_Weaver says:
FCO:  Hmm...resume course and speed.

TO_Secturial says:
::turns to the XO::  XO: No ships in the vicinity... seems like it's either a spatial phenomenon or an problem within the ship....

FCO_Tkain says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::Brings the Triton back into warp::

XO_Knight says:
TO: Understood.  Keep up LRS please

FCO_Tkain says:
::His console begins to beep wildly:: CO: Sir, I am getting the requested data from the hub ... ::Pauses suddenly::

TO_Secturial says:
XO: Will do...  ::creates a loop in the LRS Sweep::

XO_Knight says:
TO: Excellent

Host CO_Weaver says:
::Pauses as well, rather not looking forward to the FCO's response::  Tkain:  ..And?

CMO_Izartti says:
::Heads out of the office, picks up some instruments on her way over to the morgue.... brings out Miaek's body::

FCO_Tkain says:
CO: There is a subspace event occurring in the Puaeno Grande star system. It is disrupting sensors, communications and warp fields in the area. The results of which 
have been a few "ripples" along subspace ... one of which prevented our warp field a few moments ago.

MO_Brooks says:
::Having changed her mind, orders to turbolift to the lounge instead and eventually makes her way into the crew eating/relaxation place, taking a seat by a viewport 
and staring out at the stars, whether pinpricks or streaks::

FCO_Tkain says:
CO: The event does not seem to be spreading from the star system.

Host CO_Weaver says:
FCO:  Ripples...  ::Narrows his eyes, unable to shake his first instinct::  It is unlikely that the ripples are..of natural origins.

XO_Knight says:
FCO: It is located only in that star system?

FCO_Tkain says:
XO: Yes, sir. CO: The ripples are a result of the subspace event. Whether the event is natural or not  remains to be seen, sir.

CMO_Izartti says:
::starts scanning over Miaek's body, testing for things her little tricorder couldn't have picked up on Dorvan::

Host CO_Weaver says:
::Walks up to Sciences, tapping at the familiar buttons and bringing up the readings::  FCO:  Yes, I see.  The drop from warp earlier was 
caused by one such ripple?

FCO_Tkain says:
CO: Yes, sir.

XO_Knight says:
TO: Shield status after that last ripple?

Host CO_Weaver says:
::Rubs his chin, looking at the readings as well, but appreciates a second opinion::  FCO:  Search the ripples for any sort of expanding 
pattern...perhaps we can determine the point at which the subspace event occurred.

FCO_Tkain says:
CO: The ripples have originated from the Puaeno Grande star system, sir.

TO_Secturial says:
XO: Checking..  ::looks at the shield's status::  still at 100%...

TO_Secturial says:
XO: With your permission I would like to get some detailed sensor info on that system then, maybe there are some traces of weapons signatures that could have 
caused this..

XO_Knight says:
TO: Excellent idea, proceed

CMO_Izartti says:
::closes up the casing around Miaek.... satisfied with round 1 of scans... heads back to her office::

TO_Secturial says:
::nods::  XO: Aye, Sir..
