Host SM_Pam says:
A Federation buoy was located as the Triton moves towards Earth. Damage was noticed, the cause unknown, but the buoy was sending out a repetitive signal indicating the coordinates of the Triton in relation to Earth. Microbe life forms were discovered growing on the buoy as well. Now that is weird isn't it?

Host SM_Pam says:
Meanwhile the Counselor is still trying to help Ensign Meadows to recover from his memory lapses and erratic behavior but now the EMH has been malfunctioning and the cause is a mystery. Could the Gamma radiation that escaped from the science lab have anything to do with it?

Host SM_Pam says:
Then there is the tactical officer, who has gotten himself in trouble by discharging a phaser. He is scheduled for a meeting with his boss after his shift. Shall we get the air lock ready folks?

Host SM_Pam says:
Another anomaly looms before the Triton. It's small but growing quickly. Inside can be seen two objects but they can't be identified yet. Commander K`Vas has ordered battle stations, but is he a bit premature?

Host SM_Pam says:
The Triton seems ready for anything, so let's see what that anything will be shall we?

Host SM_Pam says:
ACTD is proud to present the USS Triton in "Scavenger Hunt"....Chapter eighteen...."Ut Oh"   Stardate 10505.19

FCO: I want to avoid drugging you too.  Even the brig would be a better solution than that.  But I'm very concerned with your aggressiveness when you go into one of your hallucinations.

EO_Ens_Robinson says:
*CEO*: Ma'am I found the problem those damn hamsters have chewed the conduit to hell.  Repairs will take maximum of 2 hours.

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
CTO: Tactical confirms anomaly, scanning to identify.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
FCO:  You could have damaged yourself quite badly fighting with the force field...not to mention with fellow crewmen.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
FCO:  That makes me feel a little better.  ::pauses::  I'm still wondering about your Cardassian hallucinations.  That's what I wanted to speak to the Captain about.  I was going to play up to you to see if you could explain some more about this notion of Cardassian agents.

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
Self: I am going to kill the person who let those beasts on this ship.

OPS_Inn says:
 CTO: I've got them registering as two 4-sided figures.  They are holding position just inside the anomaly

FCO_Ens_Meadows says:
CNS: Give him my congratulations and express my apologize that I can't do it in person

OPS_Inn says:
 TO: Can you confirm?

FCO_Ens_Meadows says:
::turns his head back to the ceiling::

ACTION: Sensors pick up another contact near the anomaly

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
*Engineering*: Take to teams and lay traps in all the ODN conduits.  I don't want to hear any more about hamsters.

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
OPS/CTO; another contact.....near the anomaly

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::nods her head::  FCO: Yes, I will.   Please, don't lose help...we'll figure this out.

OPS_Inn says:

:: Checks sensors ::   CTO: Confirmed sir...I read Cardassian

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
CTO: Weapon lock sir?

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
*Engineering to CEO*: Ma'am I was going to suggest that we not only put them in the ODN conduits but also in critical areas of the ship where we will need the power the greatest.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::feels badly she can't give him more hope and is totally out of ideas at this point, but hates to just leave him laying there alone::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: Moves about her quarters randomly packing Vince's things away ::

FCO_Ens_Von says:
CTO:  Evasives sir?

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
*Engineering*: Then son do it.  Right now we can't afford to lose any more power.  We have trouble ahead and I want all the power that can be got out of my lady.

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
TO: target the Cardassian ship and fire phasers

FCO_Ens_Meadows says:
::closes his eyes and tries to mediates::

ACTION: The Cardassian ship seems be just hovering near the anomaly

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
CTO: Heading... 135, 200, 000 KM, holding position

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
FCO:  Will you be okay by yourself?  Or would you rather have me stay?  ::finally asks::  I can stay in sickbay and finish up some reports, but I really should check in on the bridge.

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
OPS: hail the Ship

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::exits sickbay and heads up to the bridge::

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:

OPS_Inn says:
:: Monitors the Cardassian ship and doesn't detect any communication emanating from it::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::walks out onto the bridge after the lift doors slide open and immediately sees the Cardassian ship::

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
OPS: same as last time?

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::narrows her eyes and now knows what the alert was for.  'Reaches' out to 'touch' the mood of the Cardassians within the vessel::

FCO_Ens_Von says:
::plots a few maneuvers just in cause::

OPS_Inn says:
CTO: Sir?  Same as last time?

ACTION: All hails to the Cardassian ship go unanswered but they make no aggressive moves

OPS_Inn says:
CTO: That are not answering hails sir.

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
OPS: Can you read anything on the other contacts?

OPS_Inn says:
:: Checks sensors ::   TO: Nope...nothing...just that they are holding position inside the anomaly still

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
TO: can you Identify why they may not responding to hails?

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::looks around for K'Vas for a second::  CTO:  Sir, the Cardassians angry, about what I don't know...and they are puzzled too.

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
OPS: Is it a possibility that it is the same Cardassian ship that slipped away from us before?

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
CTO: I'm trying sir. Standby

OPS_Inn says:
CEO: I'm checking the ID marker on that vessel...at the moment, I'm not getting anything

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
OPS: You getting any energy readings from the anomaly at all?

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::continues to keep a 'touch' on the Cardassians but isn't enjoying sensing their angry mood::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::senses something is wrong::

OPS_Inn says:
:: Checks sensors ::  TO: reading the anomaly is electrically charged...seems to be a travel conduit of some sort.

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
*Engineering*: Check all the turbo lifts and see if any are malfunctioning.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: Is too consumed with sadness to even listen to her senses ::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
CTO:  Sir?  May I inquire...do you know where the Captain is?  ::K'Vas' anger is 'coming over' loud and clear without even trying to sense that Klingon::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
OPS: Can you do me a small favor?  I sense something is very wrong close by.  Could you run a scan of the turbolifts for me to see if any are occupied.

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
~~~CNS: Do you sense something from within the ship as anger?~~~

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
CTO: They may not be able to detect us with those charged particles

OPS_Inn says:
CEO: Sure....   :: Shakes his head slightly while stifling a chuckle ::

FCO_Ens_Von says:
::standbys waiting for the CTO orders::

ACTION: The Cardassian ship begins to move towards the anomaly opening

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
~~~CEO: I'm working on that now, yes.~~~  ::tries to stay focused but is increasingly worried about her mate::

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
FCO: take us closer to the Cardassian ship, one quarter impulse.

OPS_Inn says:
CTO: The Cardassian ship is moving towards the anomaly’s opening....

FCO_Ens_Von says:
CTO: Aye sir one quarter impulse ::set course and speed to 1/4 impulse::

OPS_Inn says:
:: Rechecks his readings ::   CTO: In fact, it seems as if they are being pulled into it

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::takes a step toward the view screen watching the alien vessel:: CTO:  Sir, I don't think it's their idea...the Cardassian ship I mean...it might be why they're angry and confused.  ::wonders if it's a good idea for the Triton to get any closer either::

Engineering says:
* CEO*:  Sir there is one turbolift that is reported malfunctioning.

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
FCO: back up!

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
CTO: Sensor aren't giving us much. Might as well have a closer look.

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
*Engineering*: Has it ever occurred to......::hears the CTO::

FCO_Ens_VOn says:
::changes speed to full reverse::

OPS_Inn says:
 CTO: Caution is advised sir...we could get pulled in there too!

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
~~~CO:  I hate to disturb you, but...~~~

ACTION: The CNS gets some rather nasty thoughts from her husband

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
*Engineering*: Be ready to feed the fusion reactors that are on hot standby into all propulsion we may need to get the blazes out of her fast.  Just watch the  ::grabs head as she now senses the CO and his anger::

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
OPS: good timing there

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: Senses heightened stress coming from around the ship ::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
CTO/OPS: Engineering has more power to give for propulsion.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: Finishes packing Vince’s things and continues with some other objects from around her quarters ::

ACTION: For some reason neither the CIV or CO's COM badges are transmitting.

FCO_Ens_Von says:
CTO: Sir how far would you like me to back up?

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::winces at the 'response' she 'receives' from K'Vas:: *CEO*:  I think you should do everything you can to pry our Captain out of that turbolift or you will be replacing it.

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Shifts the focus of his sensors toward the Tetrahedrons.::

OPS_Inn says:
:: Listens carefully for any communication from the Cardassian ship

ACTION: The Cardassian ship enters the opening of the anomaly and disappears.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::gasps as all goes 'silent' from the Cardassians in her mind::

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Moves quickly as console beeps::

OPS_Inn says:
:: Sees a message coming in from Starfleet Command directed to Lieutenant Commander Anari ::

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
CNS: are you still feeling anything from the Cardassians?

OPS_Inn says:
:: Sends the message to Anari's quarters ::

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
CTO: Contact lost.......Cardassian ship no longer on sensors.

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
TO/OPS: a wormhole possibly?

OPS_Inn says:
 :: Checks sensors ::   CTO: Confirmed sir.

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
CTO: Sir I strongly suggest to get us back some from the pull back from that thing it is going to make a nightmare for me in a few minutes.

OPS_Inn says:
CTO: From the data I was receiving, I do not believe it to be a wormhole, but a travel conduit of some type

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
FCO: make it so.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::shakes her head no, but is getting a 'mindful' from her mate:: CTO:  No sir, nothing now.  ::declines to pass on the Captain's remarks as to the running efficiency of the Triton presently::

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
CTO: Composition does not match any know wormhole types.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: Hears the beeping of an incoming transmission and goes to her computer, accesses it and reads it slowly ::

ACTION: The anomaly begins to shrink in size

FCO_Ens_Meadows says:
<Von>::Continues to back up::

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
TO: any difference in the entities?

OPS_Inn says:
:: Sees sensors reading new data and reads it quickly ::   CTO: Sir, the anomaly is shrinking

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Checks reading again.:: Inn: I see it too!

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
CTO: Indications now show that the anomaly is beginning to close.  I am getting reduced power reading from it.

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
CEO: possibilities?

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
CTO: Either it is collapsing in on its self or it is being closed from the other side.

FCO_Ens_Meadows says:
::wonders what is happening on the bridge::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: Contacts OPS CPO Jenkins and talks with him a moment to arrange transport of the stuff she had packed ::
