Deep Space 102 Mission Transcript - 11110.14

Previously on DS102:

The crew launched a probe and did some funny guff with transporters and some strange (thoron) radiation to try and find out what the Cardassians were up to.

Let's rejoin or crew while the action continues.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
::stands next to the CTO, at the secondary tactical console::
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
CEO: I guess we should get back up to the Bridge to analyze any data that probe will hopefully send our way.
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::halfway out the door:: CMO: Right ahead of you, Faith!
SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: I sincerely hope this works. If it does, it will be very useful for our mission.
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
CEO: Wait for me! ::Runs to catch up, excited and hopeful that this idea will work.::
CO_Yo`Ghi says:
:: sitting in his command chair on the Bridge, anxiously waiting for the result of the cloaked probe ::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
::on the Bridge::
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CMO: You seem to be rather excited. 
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan_Horn says:
::Arrives on the bridge in uniform and takes tactical::
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
CEO: Yeah, cause if it works, it was my idea. ::Runs to the turbolift, and waits for him before ordering it to the Bridge.:: On the other hand, if it doesn't work, that's not going to be good.
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::Chuckles:: CMO: I can just see it now. If it works, you will be telling everyone that it was your idea. If it fails, you will tell everyone that I must have done something wrong!
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
::Grins wickedly.:: CEO: Why else do you think I brought you along.
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CMO: I just thought you needed some eye candy.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
::turns and sees the CTO at tactical:: CTO: Welcome back, Commander.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan_Horn says:
XO: Its good to be back.
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
::Waits for the turbolift doors to close.:: CEO: Sugar and spice, and everything nice. ::Wiggles her eyes at him.::
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CMO: Sugar and spice? The last time you gave me food, it turned out rather badly, if I recall.
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
CEO: Point taken - I'll settle for the sugar then. ::Sticks her tongue out at him, and waits eagerly for the turbolift doors to open to the Bridge.:: Why is this turbolift taking so darn long!
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CMO: Oh please don't ask me to tear this thing apart again, it's running just fine!
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::Feels the lift slow as it approaches the Bridge::
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
CEO: Slowwwww! ::Rushes out when the doors open, and quickly makes her way to science, clearly in a hurry to get the data, leaving the CEO still standing in the TL.::
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::Looks at the dust wake that the CMO just left and laughs out loud::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
::looks over at the CMO:: CMO: In a hurry, Lieutenant?
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
CEO: Hurry up, you! I need your help with this! ::Opens up the console.::
XO: Who me? ::Chuckles.::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
::laughs::
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CMO: I am going as fast as I can. It's not my fault that I wasn't given wings!
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
To self: Please work .. please work .. please work!!
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::Gets to the console by the CMO, and begins typing in commands, hoping that the probe will respond::
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CMO: Did you remember to wind it up before we sent it out?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::notices certain... commotion... around the Bridge... shrugs and goes back to his console::
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
::Looks puzzled.:: CEO: Huh? ::pauses:: That's a joke, right?
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CMO: Of course it is. Just trying to throw you a curveball.
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
CEO: Let's do it again, without the curveball. ::Winks at him.::
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::Begins to feel a bit of apprehension as he waits for the probe to do something... anything::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CTO: Keep an eye on the Cardies, Ryan. Let me know if they seem to suspect anything.
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
SC: So if this works, can I have 2 new biobeds on the station?
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CMO: Only if you install them!
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::Winks at the CMO::
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
::Grins.:: CEO: I'll need some help, but I think you and I will be able to do it.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::raises an eyebrow to the CMO:: CMO: I think you should set for one more medical terminal... :smiles::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan_Horn says:
XO: I always keep an eye on Cardassians.
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
SC: Medical terminal AND two biobeds, and I'll be happy.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CMO: Let's say... just terminal. ::raises an eyebrow::
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
SC: Sir, If I was you, I would quit while I was behind.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan_Horn says:
XO: I can tell you from experience that they already suspect we are up to something. Its in their nature
SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: Anything from the probe.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CTO: Yeah I got that
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: Acknowledged.
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
::Smiles innocently.::
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
Out loud: I've got telemetry from the probe! ::Excited.:: Just a bunch of mumbo jumbo right now though.
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CMO: yes, you do. Let's try to clean this stuff up, if we can.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CMO: That is good news indeed.
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
CEO: Yes, Sir! ::Smiles at the Station Commander.::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO/XO: So far, so good. Hope we keep it that way, don't you think?
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::Begins pushing buttons, adding filters, algorithm's and anything else he can thing of::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
SC: Agreed Captain. Let's hope all of this is worth it.
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
CEO: Good news is they don't look like they suspect anything. At least not yet anyway. ::Searches through the lines and lines of data.::
CO_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: How long before we get data?
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Unknown, Sir. CMO: How is it going?
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
XO: Well, we have data if that's what you mean. But right now, it's nothing useful. Still filtering.
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
XO: Trying to filter the data into something useful, Sir.
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::Continues trying to sort out the information::
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CMO: Faith, do you see any patterns in this telemetry that I might have missed?
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
CEO: I'm running it through the computer. The computer should be able to pick up anything that appears threatening. It's our quickest method, unfortunately.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan_Horn says:
::Finishes his diagnostic::
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CMO: I just hope it picks up something. But, there is always the option to retrieve the probe, and do a hard analysis.
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
CEO: Want to know what the head Cardie had for breakfast?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::paces around the Bridge, making some mental exercises to put his anxiety under control::
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CMO: not really, since they usually have Kanar with everything, not to mention yamak sauce.
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
CEO: Here's something. ::Points to her screen.:: 
Out loud: Looks like they are treating radiation sickness.
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
CEO: You don't think that's what they "want" us to see, do you?
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CMO: So it is a medical situation.
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CMO/XO: And that, coming from the Cardassians, makes me very nervous.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CEO: You're not the only one
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
XO: Looks like it. Or at least that's what they want us to see.
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
XO: I'm not ruling anything else out just yet.
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CMO: what makes me nervous is why are they treating people for radiation poisoning? What sort of experiments are they running over there?
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CEO: That's a very good question. Any chance our probe can tell us?
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
CTO: Are we picking up any other ships going in and out of that area?
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
XO: We can hope. Its set up to just scan everything and anything in its vicinity.
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
XO: Maybe we're not looking at the whole picture. What else has been going on in the area?
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CMO/CEO: Can we widen the area of the scan?
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::hears a little beep coming from the console:: XO: Umm, sir? The probe is detecting antimatter as well as the thoron radiation.
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
XO: We can, but the wider the angle, the more likely the probe will be noticed.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan_Horn says:
CMO: Not at this time but I am only running passive scans
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CEO: Antimatter? Interesting. Weapons research that went wrong, perhaps?
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
XO: It's a plausible theory.
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
CTO: We may want to widen our area of interest here.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CEO: It's certainly one that fits. But it could also be propulsion related. We need more information.
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
::Ears perk up.:: CEO: Did you say anti-matter?
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
XO: True. CMO: Yes. Antimatter.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan_Horn says:
CMO: If I do that they may pick up that we are scanning them.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::perks his ears and listen carefully to the discussion::
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
CTO: Well, they know we're here. My theory is if they don't want us looking, they should have gone someplace where we wouldn't have noticed. But then again, that isn't my call.
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
CTO: We're on our side. They're on their side.
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CMO: What worries me is that they might have been here, testing a new weapon where they knew we would see them, and it went terribly wrong. We have two options at this point, worry that it IS a new weapon, or offer humanitarian aid.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan_Horn says:
::Waits for an order from the XO::
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
CEO: We offered them our assistance. They didn't want it. So I think we can rule that option out.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CTO: Widen the scan, Commander.
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::begins to think back to what he learned when he was in the academy, learning engineering::
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
XO: Sir, something is coming to mind that I learned a few years ago. Did you ever hear of the Cardassian smart missile, I believe it was called Dreadnought?
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CEO: Yes, I remember reading about it. If they are creating a Dreadnaught weapon...
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
XO: It would fit the information at hand. Suppose they are working on one, and something went terribly wrong?
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CEO: A matter-antimatter reaction perhaps... it would certainly explain some things.
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
XO: The question now is, how do we proceed?
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
ALL: We need to get this information back to Starfleet. But all we have is a theory and some antimatter readings. Recommendations?
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
XO: Send the information we have, and encrypt it so the Cardassians don't intercept it.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan_Horn says:
XO: I could perform some high resolution scans around the entire ship at maximum range. Say we are doing a survey of the area. That would keep us from "violating the treaty"
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CEO: Anything else from the probe?
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CTO: Unfortunately, we are too close to the DMZ. It would still be a violation of the treaty. Of course, we are already in violation of the treaty.
CMO_LtJG_Unger says:
CEO: True, but at the push of a button I can destroy the probe, and there is no evidence.
CEO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
XO: I think that we have all the information we are going to get, at this point. I will keep it sending, with the hope that something else will be found.
