Deep Space 102 Mission Transcript - 11302.08

Previously on DS102:

The USS Scorpius is en route to a distress signal toward the galactic core. The USS Delphi is on scene and attempting rescue. It has been several hours and the Scorpius is now entering the system.

FCO_Ens_Farman says:
::as the ship moves closer to the galactic core of the Milky Way, various physical changes occur to surrounding space that need compensated for - navigationally speaking::
CSO_Trix says:
::Works on mapping out a plan to use the tractor beams to open a navigable path towards the area where the reported escape pods are.::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::in sickbay helping with the final preparations for the attempted rescue::
CSO_Trix says:
All: There's a lot of debris out there, but I think we could find a path through that stuff with a little bit of graviton manipulation from the tractor beams. Or a lot bit perhaps. But the ship can handle it, I'm certain.
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
CSO: Ensign, are we on the same page for spatial changes due to closer core proximity?
CTO_LtJG_Sek says:
::steps onto the Bridge, taking a slow, appraising look around before moving to his station::
CSO_Trix says:
FCO: In terms of increased radiation and gravity and so forth? I think we're still within standards, but field intensities are... were my major.
CSO_Trix says:
FCO: So any changes in that I'm very aware of.
CSO_Trix says:
CTO: Greetings, Lieutenant. Have we met? If not, Ensign Vertan Trix here. Nice to meet you.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::puts the trays she finished prepping back into the proper cabinets and goes to check on her staff::
CTO_LtJG_Sek says:
::glances over to the CSO:: CSO: Sek.
CO_YoGhi says:
:: coming out of his ready room ::
CSO_Trix says:
::Glances down.:: Self: No, it shouldn't be Trix Vertan, doesn't matter how old you are, tradition is older.
CO_YoGhi says:
FCO: ETA to the distressed ship
CTO_LtJG_Sek says:
::watches the Captain::
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
CO: Sir, still about three more hours at current speed - and I'm getting some nice messages from Engineering Sir......
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
::not sure he recognizes several of the words used in the last message... or what language it was... or species for that matter..::
CSO_Trix says:
CTO: Tactical, right? I've been mapping out the debris field and setting up the starts of a plan for using the Tractor beams to open a path inside the field if you'd like it?
CTO_LtJG_Sek says:
CSO: Send it. ::brings up a map of the surrounding area for comparison::
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
CSO: Don't forget to warn him about the fluctuations to local space....
CSO_Trix says:
CTO: Sending to your console. ::Sends the initial plan.:: From the scans it looks like there was a battle there, but hard to positively identify who it was...or how many they were.
CO_YoGhi says:
CSO: Anything new from the rescue ship?
CSO_Trix says:
CO: New data, but nothing major to report. Last word was they were ready to pick up some survivors, but that was a few minutes ago.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::briefs her staff on their duties during this mission, makes sure that they know which medical area to report::
CTO_LtJG_Sek says:
CSO: If there are any pieces with battle damage, we could beam them aboard and analyze the scorching. If we can determine the weapons used, we might determine who was involved.
CSO_Trix says:
CTO: Of course. After the survivors are rescued that will become priority I'm sure. Only question is will we know who was involved, given the area is largely unexplored. At least let us know if it's more than one side involved though. Sir.
CTO_LtJG_Sek says:
CSO: Are we not equipped to multitask?
CTO_LtJG_Sek says:
CSO: The helmsman mentioned fluctuations.
Host Gerry says:
ACTION: The USS Scorpius enters sensor range of the distress call...
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
CO: Captain, the outer edge of where the distress call came from....
CSO_Trix says:
CTO: Fluctuations are well within normal ranges. We're not actually that much deeper into the galactic core to make a major difference. And I'll set up a team to start the analysis once we can grab a couple pieces. I'm positive Engineering will be able to spare an Engineer or two, and I'll get a metallurgist to break it down.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::leaves the counseling suite for the cargo bays to help with the set up there::
CTO_LtJG_Sek says:
CSO: Good.
CSO_Trix says:
CTO: We will need to find a space for it. Cargo Bays are being set up as overflow shelters, but I'm sure we can clear most of the stuff out of a lab or two. Depending on the size of the debris and how isolated we need to keep it from the rest of the ship.
CSO_Trix says:
::Turns back to the sensors and begins an active scan of the debris field, hoping to gain another point of view from the scans moving forward.::
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
::readjusts the warp bubble to compensate for the spatial changes::
CSO_Trix says:
CO: I'm going to start looking at the debris field's energy levels, Captain. Maybe we can figure out what kind of energy source the exploded vessels were using so that we can know what kind of danger there is from unused fuel. May be a bit tough to break down with all the latent energy, however.
CO_YoGhi says:
CSO: Look also for computer memory or recorder
CSO_Trix says:
CO: Aye Captain.
CSO_Trix says:
::Starts active sensor sweeps of the debris field, looking for strong energy sources or anything that may be a data storage unit, intact or otherwise.::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::enters the cargo bay and sees that progress is well underway::
CSO_Trix says:
CTO: With luck, maybe one of the survivors can tell us who was who in the attack. Of course verification might be necessary.
