Host KevinB says:
<RECAP>

The Scimitar, after having decoded the unknowns ship’s computer data, have backtraced its navigational logs and are now waiting just outside the system of origin.

Q still remains with the crew and is growing impatient with the wait.

In addition to the unknown ship’s navigational logs the Scimitar has decrypted most of the ship’s specs., including the drive which is based on the Aiseno IV artifact.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Stands on the bridge, and appears calm.::

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
::At ops reading incoming reports.::

ASO_Ens_Everitt says:
::At science one.::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Getting navigational data.::

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
::At the bridge at tactical.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::In the Chair.::

CMO_Ens_Sarmo says:
::In sickbay.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::The calm demeanor is hard to keep up.::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Looks to Kalla.:: AXO: We have reached the system.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
FCO: Standard orbit, Mr More.

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
::Scans the system to be on the safe side.::

Host Q says:
::Sighs, staring out the main viewer, foot tapping impatiently.::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Nods.:: AXO: Acknowledged, ma'am.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Looks at Q.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
ASO: Start scanning the planet, Mr Everitt.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Cocks her head to the side and watches Q intently.::

ASO_Ens_Everitt says:
AXO: Aye, Ma’am.

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
::Scans for any unusual communications in the area.::

ASO_Ens_Everitt says:
::Feeling more comfortable with science controls than engineering ones... but still uncomfortable with being on the bridge, or even around people.::

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Exits his ready room, still wondering what Jones was going to tell him about.::

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
AXO: Status, Number One.

Host Q says:
::Leans against the wall, sighing again, stretching  quickly.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Gets up from the Chair.:: ACO: Sir we have entered standard orbit and are scanning the planet.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Looks up as the ACO enters the bridge and looks at him.::

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Sits down in The Chair.:: AXO: Find anything yet?

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Throws a quick glance in Q's direction again, and frowns.::

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
AXO: Ma'am, I don't know if it's very important, but I'm reading a blank space in the system's asteroid belt...

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Looks over at ASO.:: ASO: Anything yet, ensign?

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
::Glances quickly at Everitt and shakes his head.::

ASO_Ens_Everitt says:
::Slightly startled, then watches the final scans come in.:: AXO: The planet appears dead in every way... Nothing here that would seem of consequence.

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Frowns at TO's report.:: TO: Is it just vacant... or is there something we're not supposed to see? Run an antiproton scan to check for cloaked ships.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
TO: Totally blank? As if there used to be a planet?

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Turns in his chair.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
ASO: Keep scanning. And keep a particular scan for any time anomalies.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Looks back to the ACO.:: ACO: ::Quietly.:: Commander, we still need to finish our conversation.

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
AXO/ACO: It's an area with a volume of 10000 by 10000 by 10000 meters... running more scans at the moment...

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Sits in XO seat.::

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
::Initiates more scans of the blank space.::

ASO_Ens_Everitt says:
AXO: There are no signs of time anomalies or that they were ever here.

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Groans, stands up.:: Jones: Fine. In my ready room. AXO: You have the bridge, Number One. Keep me informed of developments. ::Walks towards the ready room.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
ACO: Aye, aye sir. ::Moves seats.::

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Goes through the ready room doors, waits for Jones.::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Looks to Kalla.:: AXO: Should we investigate, ma'am?

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Follows ACO.:: ACO: ::Whispered.:: I'm not doing this to annoy you. This information may cost or save our lives.

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
::Checks on systems and boosts power to sensor array.::

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
ACO: I understand that, Agent Jones, but this information would have helped had it been offered a lot sooner... like during our briefing sessions after Aiseno IV.

ASO_Ens_Everitt says:
AXO: Confirmed... It’s simply a gap in space of 1.0^12 m^3... I don't know how else to explain it.

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Walks around to his chair in the ready room and sits down.::

Host Q says:
::Glances at ACO/Jones as they enter the ready room.:: ACO: Whenever you are ready. It's amazing you people get anything done, such short lifespans and such long waits.

ASO_Ens_Everitt says:
AXO: Perhaps a type of black hole… It could be natural or artificial.

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
::Runs the anti-proton scan suggested by the ACO.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Stands just inside the room, looking very pale.:: ACO: I couldn't tell it to you while we were on the starbase, or any time soon after that.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
ASO: That would make it a complete... ::Gulps.:: cube?

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
Jones: Whatever. Tell me.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
OPS: See what sensors can make of that 'hole'.

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
AXO: Aye, Ma’am.

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
::Initiates a scan of the hole.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Takes a half-step forward and nearly stumbles.:: ACO: The data from Aiseno IV... Smarr has it. He built the ships with it. But... so do I.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
FCO: I do not assume our orbit takes us anywhere near that 'hole'?

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Leans forward.:: Jones: Ships? You mean there are more of them?

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
ASO: Assist Mr Rosenberg with scans of the area in question with 50% of scan capacity.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
AXO: No, Ma'am...

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
FCO: Good.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Shrugs slightly, looking lost.:: ACO: I honestly don't know. I only know of plans. I didn’t even know that one ship existed. ::Pauses and swallows with difficulty.::

ASO_Ens_Everitt says:
::Hesitant.:: AXO: Aye, Ma’am.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
~~~~AXO: Not unless that hole finds us first......~~~~

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
ASO: Any questions, Mr Everitt?

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
Jones: Well, the fact that we destroyed one certainly confirms its existence. Now... how do we stop the others?

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
~~~~Adam: It does not seem too active.~~~~

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
~~~~Kal: Let’s hope so...~~~~

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
ACO: ::Almost desperate.:: I keep telling you, but you don't listen.

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
AXO: Ma'am, I'm picking up several small objects within the blank area at random intervals with the anti-proton scan...

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Gets up from the chair and moves towards science 1. Stands behind Everitt's shoulders, watching.::

ASO_Ens_Everitt says:
AXO: No, Ma’am... I'll get right to it. ::Turns around in a closed posture.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
TO: Identity of objects?

ASO_Ens_Everitt says:
AXO: Any suggestions, Ma’am?

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
AXO: Unknown, Ma'am...

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Stands up in anger.:: Jones: Not listening to what? Do you think I'm a total imbecile here? You damn well know I've done my share of covert ops... I was on a PRISM team, for crying out loud!

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
ASO: Work on those objects. OPS: Can you show them on main viewer?

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
Jones: Now... tell me how we stop Smarr!

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
AXO: Putting it up now, ma'am

Host Q says:
::Voice rising as he speaks.:: AXO: Enough of this pussyfooting around, just go into  it. You know the ship’s from here, that's the only spot you can see into, nothing else could be what we're looking for, what are you waiting for?

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Quickly moves back at the ACO's shout and bumps into the wall.:: ACO: ::In a strangled whisper.:: You don’t understand, I have the data. About the ships, about the civilization, *everything*! ::Holds on to the wall.::

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
::Puts it up now the main view screen.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
Q: Is that your advice?

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Still fuming.:: Jones: Then what did he do? Was that Smarr's ship that we ran into millions of years ago? Did he destroy the Aisenon civilization for their technology?

Host Q says:
::Angrily.:: AXO: It's not advice it's a direct order, you stupid little excuse for a lifeform.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
*ACO* We have discovered a 'black hole' in space which Q recommends we enter.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
ACO: No... ::Swallows and tries to stand upright.:: But he sent you there for it...

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
Q: I was not aware you had joined Starfleet.

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
::Looks in distrust to Q.::

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
*AXO* Any particular reason why?

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
::Chuckles at AXO.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
ACO: At least that's what I've been told. I have no reason to believe he trusted me completely.

Host Q says:
::Growls with frustration, punches the nearest wall.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
*ACO* Because it is 'the only thing we could be looking for'.

Host Q says:
Self: Ow ::Shakes hand in pain.::

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Looks incredulously at Jones.:: Jones: He sent us to a planet that exhibited no signs of civilization. We went back in time, came back to the same planet, same condition.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
FCO: For all eventualities prepare a course for the 'black hole'.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
AXO: Understood. 

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
*AXO* Prepare to take us in, but do nothing until you get my order.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
*ACO* Understood.

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
::Thinks: I didn't think Q could feel pain.::

Host Q says:
::Looks at main viewer.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
ACO: ::Almost shouting now.:: There was a civilization! It's no figment of my imagination, and it's about to kill me!

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Raises an eyebrow at Q's exclamation.::

CMO_Ens_Sarmo says:
Self: Why not take a look at that Q? It may be my only chance and besides it isn't busy here anyway!

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
Q: As you probably know what is in there - how about some advice?

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Raises eyebrows.:: Jones: Kill you? How?

CMO_Ens_Sarmo says:
::Moves to the turbolift.:: TL: Bridge. ::Arrives at bridge.::

Host Q says:
::Glaring at CMO, hand held to his chest.:: AXO : Destroy everything within it!

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
Q: From here?

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Actually takes a step forward but regrets it.:: ACO: I've been telling you this all the time, I have the data of a whole civilization, its culture, its technology, *everything* in my head! In my implant... ::Slumps forward.::

CMO_Ens_Sarmo says:
::Staring at Q.:: Q: So that’s a Q, doesn't look so special to me...

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Catches Jones.:: Jones: Can we extract the information? Maybe we can use it to disable or destroy any ships Smarr has. At the very least, we could send him to the stockade.

Host Q says:
::Grinds his teeth, approaching AXO. In a cold, low voice.:: AXO: Of course not, from inside.

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
::Intensely looking at the scan readings as they plan to enter.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Gasps, trying to collect herself.:: ACO: I don't know, he installed it... Oh, Gods... ::Moans in pain.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
Q: As my commanding officer is presently busy elsewhere, I will not enter that hole.

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
Jones: Do you have a dataport? We could try downloading the information into our databanks.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Goes down to The Chair again, as Everitt seems to be on top of things at science.::

Host Q says:
::Curses, turning towards CMO, and with a cry of frustration and a wave of his good hand sends him flying across the bridge. Staggers a few feet and collapses.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Shakes her head.:: ACO: How did you think did the information got to me? *I* wasn't on Aiseno IV. ::Attempts to breathe slowly.:: But you were.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Walks over to the CMO to check on his lifesigns.:: *Sickbay* Medical emergency on the bridge.

CMO_Ens_Sarmo says:
::Au.::

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
AXO: Q collapsed.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Turns around.::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Notices the CMO is down.:: CMO: Guess who gets to be thankful now...

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Incredulous look.:: Jones: WE gave you this information? How... ::Thinks about it.:: Damn. Of course. Meyers probably turned over all of our sensor data to Smarr from when we were in the past. ::Slams his fist on the table in frustration.::

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
To himself: That’s weird.

Host Q says:
<Sickbay> *Bridge* Isn't the CMO already there?

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
::Looks at Q::
.
Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Sees CMO is ok and walks over to Q.:: *ACO* I believe you had better join us on the bridge.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
Ops: Beam me to sickbay with the CMO.

ASO_Ens_Everitt says:
::Glances over only for a brief second.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
OPS: Belay that, Mr Hammond: FCO: That will not be necessary. *Sickbay* Yes, he is the one in need of attention.

Host Q says:
::Trying to lift himself from the ground. Fails.::

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
*AXO* On my way. ::Helps up Jones and brings her out of the ready room.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
ACO: ::Barely audible.:: Now you understand... What do you think those devices were...

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
AXO: Aye, Ma'am.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
Q; Are you all right?

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Looks at the AXO.:: Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhkay!

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
AXO: Status report, Number... ::Sees Q on ground.:: What happened?

Host Q says:
ACTION: When the CMO tries to move his right arm, he finds it's broken.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
ACO: We have had a minor crisis. Q threw the CMO against the wall and then collapsed himself - in frustration.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
ACO: Thank you... please, let me stand up.

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
::Continues scanning the area.::

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
Jones: Are those devices affecting you right now? ::Lets go of Jones.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
*Sickbay* Get up here, NOW!

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Holds on to Andersen’s shoulder for balance.:: ACO: They send the data, still. To me, for sure. To him, possibly.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
ACO: I believe Q regards it as very important that we enter that black hole.

Host Q says:
<Sickbay> *Bridge*: Aye sir, we're on our way.

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
::Still watching the present readings figuring out the anomaly.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
ACO: Also my implant might be "reporting back", I simply don't know. I only know I will be dead soon, and if Smarr knows what I've done, so will you.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
AXO/ACO: Excuse me, sir, ma'am, but this is crazy! We are entering a black hole? It doesn’t make sense, we should launch a probe.....

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
Jones: Does the black hole have anything to do with it?

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
ASO:  I assume you have a probe ready - in case.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
ACO: I wouldn't know... But who says it's not his fleet yard? And what about Q? ::Gets paler by the second.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
ACO: Q seems to think it is very important that we enter the hole.

ASO_Ens_Everitt says:
AXO: Probes... won't work.

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Turns to FCO.:: FCO: Mr. More, your objection is noted. Take us in.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Looks down at Q.:: Q: Are you ok?

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Sighs.::

Host Q says:
ACTION: There is a smell of burning flesh and hair as SFI Jones’ body is wracked with pain.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
ASO: No I am aware of that, but always be prepared.

Host Q says:
::Out cold.::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Curtly.:: ACO: Understood, SIR.

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
TO: Maximum shields, Ensign.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
All: One quarter impulse. ::Self: And may the gods please be kind on our souls.::

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
ACO: Aye Captain....

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
ACO: I wonder how to check the physical state of a Q. ::Runs a tricorder over him.::

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Sees Jones in pain.:: AXO: Kalla, short out all of the secondary EPS couplings... we need those devices turned off NOW!

CMO_Ens_Sarmo says:
Kalla: If that damned Q's ok? What about me? ::Feels his head.:: Oh, my head!

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Falls to the ground.:: ACO: ::Whispers:: Seems I had less time than I thought.

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
::Initiates full shielding.::

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Grabs tricorder, goes to Jones' side... scans for the implant.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Runs to the Engineering station and executes order.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Passes out.::

ASO_Ens_Everitt says:
::Stands up and turns around.:: ACO: I suggest we put full power to the inertial compensators rather than the to the shields.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Looks to the ACO.:: ACO: We should warn engineering...

Host Q says:
<Meds> ::Arrive on bridge and walks over to CMO.:: <first med> CMO: Are you alright, sir?

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
*Engineering* Flight Control to engineering. We are about to blow out the ODN relays, repair crews stand ready....

CMO_Ens_Sarmo says:
Meds: Yeah, except for my body, I'm fine, use your tricorder, man!

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
*Intership* We are attempting to shut down a number of unknown devices attached to the secondary EPS couplings. Damage control teams, stand by.

ASO_Ens_Everitt says:
Bridge: If it... ::Words fading in mid-sentence, then sits down.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
ACO: Order executed, sir.

CMO_Ens_Sarmo says:
Meds: I'll live, now help me with that Q entity

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
::Checks on systems for any damage.::

Host Q says:
<Meds> ::Flustered.:: CMO: Aye, sir <First med> ::Scans CMO with the tricorder.:: CMO: You have a broken arm, sir, three locations, and you appear to have a concussion as well

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
ASO: Mr. Everitt, bring the tertiary couplings online and back-up all necessary systems.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Looks at ASO.:: ASO: Are you all right, Ensign.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
*Engineering* Start repairs on secondary EPS couplings, but do not activate yet.

ASO_Ens_Everitt says:
::Slides his chair over to Engineering One station.:: ACO: Aye, sir!

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
ACO: We are entering the hole, sir....

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
AXO: Tell them to scan for all devices not standard to this ship and remove them.

CMO_Ens_Sarmo says:
Meds: Well, what are you waiting for?! Do I have to order you to heal it?

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Moans and opens her eyes.:: ACO: Don't do anything that might endanger the ship. This data is in your computer core, you don’t need me... ::Gasps.::

Host Q says:
<Eng> *Bridge* :Aye, sir.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
*Engineering* Scan for all devices alien to this ship. Remove when found.

ASO_Ens_Everitt says:
::Turns and looks at the AXO for a moment, pauses, then turns back around.::

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
Jones: You uploaded the data? Damn it, we could have gotten it out of you by a less harmful means!

Host Q says:
Action: As the network is shut down, engine controls fail and the ship begins drifting.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
ACO: ::Barely audible.:: No, the devices did... Turn the network back up, you can’t afford it...

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Looking at the Engineering console.:: ACO: We are adrift, engine controls have failed.

Host Q says:
<Med1>> ::Drops tricorder, hastily picks it up.:: <Med 2> ::Jumps, pulling a bone regenerator out of the medkit and passing it over the CMO's arm.::

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Grim-faced, he stands up.:: AXO: Go ahead and bring the secondary couplings online.

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
ACO: Engine controls are failing, sir.

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
AXO: It appears that Agent Jones has negated the need for us to disable the devices.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Opens her eyes and smiles weakly at the ACO.::

CMO_Ens_Sarmo says:
::While being healed walks over to Q and scans him.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
*Engineering* Bring secondary EPS couplings back on line as you repair them.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Moves to the other consoles on his board.:: ACO: Sir I can’t regain helm control.

Host Q says:
<Eng> *Bridge* The stabilizers have failed, we're drifting, attempting to repair.

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
CMO: When you can, Doctor... check on Agent Jones, or have one of your medics do it.

Host Q says:
<Eng> *Bridge* Aye, sir.

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
FCO: Divert emergency power to thrusters. AXO: Do we have anything? Any presence out there?

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Smile falters as another wave of pain overcomes her.::

Host Q says:
<Meds> ::Hurry after the CMO, trying to stay up with him while they work.::

CMO_Ens_Sarmo says:
Meds: Check out Agent Jones while I have a look at Q.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
ASO: What have we, ensign?

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
::Tries to bring engines back on-line.::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
ACO: No effect!

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
ACO: All couplings back on line, sir.

Host Q says:
Action: The ship is drifting towards the empty space.

CMO_Ens_Sarmo says:
Meds: That way you won't be breathing down my neck anymore.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Has trouble breathing.::

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
::Looks around the bridge... keeping track of the ship's distance to the blank space.::

ASO_Ens_Everitt says:
AXO: Excuse me, Ma'am?

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
AXO: Disable the safety protocols, whatever it takes, get those engines back online!

Host Q says:
Action:: Couplings come back online, the ship is still drifting.

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
::Routes as much power to thrusters as possible.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
ACO: Will I go down to Engineering and direct it from there?

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
ACO: ::Whispers.:: I'm so sorry...

Host Q says:
<Meds> ::Nod and move towards Jones. Med One shooting the CMO a dirty look before scanning Cleo.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
*Engineering* What is going on down there?

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
AXO: Did you want me to, Ma'am?

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
AXO: Do it. Whatever it takes.

ASO_Ens_Everitt says:
AXO: I can go... ::Surprises himself.:: Ma'am.

Host Q says:
<Eng> *AXO* We don't know, sir, the thrusters seem to have gone offline as well, we're trying to fix them.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
ASO: Do you fell up to it, ensign?

ASO_Ens_Everitt says:
::Tries to pretend he didn't say anything.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Looks at him.::

ASO_Ens_Everitt says:
AXO: Sorry, Ma'am, you better get down there like the commander said.

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
AXO: Go, Kalla. Get those engines back online.

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
TO: Anything on sensors from that void, Mr. Rosenberg?

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Heads for turbolift.:: ACO: Aye, sir. *Engineering* I'll come down. Start disabling all safety protocols.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
~~~~Kal: Be careful!~~~~

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
::Shakes his head at the ASO.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Turns away as a few tears fall down her cheek.::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Gets worried.::

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
FCO: Mr. More, have the engines ready when we get them back. Plot an escape course, just in case.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Turbolift arrives and Kalla goes to Engineering.:: ~~~~Adam: Always, my beloved.~~~~

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
::Tries to reroute systems to get the thrusters on line.::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
ACO: Understood, captain.

Host Q says:
<Med 2> ::Injects Cleo with a pain reliever.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
*OPS* I trust that you will keep the engineering functions at your stations, Ensign.

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Goes up to TO to examine sensor readings.::

CMO_Ens_Sarmo says:
::Looks at scans of Q.:: Self: Hmmm, he doesn't look all that "omnipotent" to me, more like just another lowly human.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Exits the turbolift and enters engineering.::

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
*AXO* Yes ma'am, I will.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
OPS: Have you rerouted the engine through the secondary impulse buffer?

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Tries to sit up.:: ACO: ::Voice still barely audible.:: Let me have a look at it, please...

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Gets out of his chair and goes up to the Ops station.::

Host Q says:
Action: The engines come back on line just as the ship passes into the unknown space, Q's body wavers, and stabilizes but not before his body curls in pain.::

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Hears Jones, helps her to her feet and walks her to Tac console.::

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
::Looks up to the ACO.::  ACO: It looks ok for now... but I'm breaking my head on those objects...

ASO_Ens_Everitt says:
::Moves back over to Science One,::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Stationed at main Engineering console.:: *ACO* Engines have gone back on line, sir.

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
ACO: Engines back on line, sir.

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
FCO: Hold position for now, Mr. More, until we see what we've got here.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Holds on to the ACO's arm.:: ACO: Have you noticed that Q grew weaker the closer we got to that place?

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Runs back to the flight control station.:: ACO: As ordered, Captain.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Looks at the TAC data and frowns.:: Self: Gods...

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
Ens. Panner: Good work, ensign.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
<S. Panner> AXO: We didn't do anything.

CMO_Ens_Sarmo says:
ACO: I think Q's condition has got more to do with this hole thing than with me sir, he seemed to be reacting to this hole.

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Sees scans, almost in shock.:: All: What the hell...

ASO_Ens_Everitt says:
Bridge: Oh my... ::Puts the site on the main viewer.::

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
All: Whoa!

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
*Engineering* More to Engineering, everything seems fine, but the torp sensors are outta alignment by twelve microns....

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
::Frowns at the sensor readings...Self: My god....this can't be true... ::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
*Engineering* More out.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
*FCO* We will deal with it.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
ACO: He built at least another one... We have to destroy it. All of it.

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
Jones: I don't know if we have the firepower...

Host Q says:
<Meds> ::Standing unsurely and awkwardly off to one side, wondering what the heck is going on.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
*ACO* I will stay here for now in case more problems occur, unless you need me on the bridge, sir.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Shakes head weakly.:: ACO: We have to analyze the data. There has to be *something*.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Looks the Ops.:: OPS: You did good Ensign...

CMO_Ens_Sarmo says:
ACO: He scans as a normal human, but his reaction just didn't make any sense.

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
FCO: Thanks.

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
*AXO* Keep everything running down there. We've found what we're looking for... check your sensors. ::Sends data to Engineering.::

CMO_Ens_Sarmo says:
::Helps Q stand steady.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Checks displays.:: *ACO* Received sir.

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
::Starts scanning for any communications.::

ASO_Ens_Everitt says:
ACO: I think they should be able to receive our hails

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
SFI: Ms. Jones, do you know the co-ordinates of the next one?

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Looks over at Q.:: Q: Is this what you were warning us about?

Host Q says:
::Turns weakly to face the ACO.:: ACO: Like she says, destroy it all ::Tires from the effort and leans against the CMO.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Still holding on to the ACO's arm.:: ACO: ::Grimly.:: If everything fails, give me an antimatter grenade and beam me over. 

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
Jones: No. Everyone who entered this place is coming back out. No exceptions.

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
TO: Mr. Rosenberg... do we have any tri-cobalt devices in our inventory?

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
::Checks on all running systems.::

ASO_Ens_Everitt says:
ACO: Sir, something’s happening... Things are decloaking slowly... all over the place.

CMO_Ens_Sarmo says:
Q: Well, you still haven't proven me wrong...

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
ACO: Searching...one moment..?

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Raises a trembling hand to her face.:: ACO: Look at me. I'm dead in a few hours, anyway. And I want to know I made some kind of difference. ::Looks at Q.:: We have to destroy it.

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
::Goes through the inventory.::

ASO_Ens_Everitt says:
ACO: ... I'm also reading mass temporal fields that seem to be coming from us.

Host Q says:
::Too weak to respond to the CMO.::

ASO_Ens_Everitt says:
ACO: Wait... no they're focused onto us.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
*OPS* I believe we have everything on line at present. Does it look that way at your end too?

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
ACO: I think they noticed us sir.

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Grim look develops.:: Jones: Cleo... now that I know your... er, rank, I can't order you to stay. But do you really want to do this?

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
*AXO*: Yes ma'am, so far.

CMO_Ens_Sarmo says:
Q: Do you still have any power left? This may be a good time to use it.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
*OPS* Good.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Smiles almost gently.:: ACO: No. I want to live. I want to raise children. But it's way too late now. And I want my death to mean something, even if my life didn't.

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
FCO: Keep us out of those temporal fields by any means possible, Mr. More.

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
ACO: Sorry Sir...no tri-cobalt device onboard...

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
TO: Damn. ::Thinks a moment.:: Jones: What will you need?

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
ACO: Understood, I’ll try my best...

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
ACO: Any strong explosives, anything? Can you spare anti-matter?

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
Jones: How much? We can put it in a magnetic container.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
ACO: Sir, I have a suggestion...

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Shakes her head.:: ACO: We need to evaluate the data, I didn’t have time to do that yet.

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
FCO: Yes, Mr. More?

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
*ACO* A thought. If we need to we could always jettison the warp core. Not that I would recommend that action.

ASO_Ens_Everitt says:
::Brings up ships' inventory... not saying a word.::

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
*AXO* Negative, Kalla. It would take years to get back to Federation space... maybe even decades.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
ACO: If we were to fill a shuttle with explosives... we could plot a collision course and beamout after we set a core breach... ::Looks to Jones.:: Big enough? 

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
FCO: Do you have enough explosives to fill a shuttle?

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
SFI: We should have, and the core breach will be big...

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
FCO, Jones: We can pull enough antimatter to do it. ::Thinks a moment.:: FCO, Jones: Get it done.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
ACO/FCO: Let's do it.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
ACO: Understood! ::Heads for the turbolift.:: Jones: You coming?

Host Q says:
