CSO_Ens_Sasik: ::Watching the cloud::

EO_Davis: ::sitting down at aft engineering console on Bridge, making final adjustments to new relay configuration::

CO_CAPT_Andersen: *CSO* Bridge to Sasik...what's your status down there? Any progress?

AXO_LtJG_Adam_More: ::rechecking the list of required personnel::

CSO_Ens_Sasik: *CO*: Right now I'm facing a cloud that I believe is the source of malfunctions.

ACNS_Nayiz: ::on the bridge, still looking anxious as she heads to the Science station and starts trying to access any useful data::

CO_CAPT_Andersen: ::raises eyebrows in surprise:: *CSO* Is it showing any malevolent intentions? Or anything you could consider malevolent?

Ops-Ensign: ::Hops off Biobed and exits sickbay headed quickly for the TL at the end of the Corridor::

EO_Davis: CO: I'm just about ready here.

CSO_Ens_Sasik: *CO*: I can't be sure of what's it trying to do. So far I've been unable to communicate with it. I can't tell if it's sentient.

CO_CAPT_Andersen: EO: Activate the relays and focus them on the area around Ensign Sasik's commbadge signal.

Ops-Ensign: ::Enters TL:: TL: Bridge!

EO_Davis: CO: Acknowledged.

Ops-Ensign: <TL> ::Beep Vrumm Vrumm Vrumm Vrumm Beep::

CSO_Ens_Sasik: ::Waves his hands to the cloud::

EO_Davis: ::redirects relays from normal data path and focuses them around the signal::

Anasi: ::wonders what the thing is doing this time::

Ops-Ensign: ::steps of the TL onto the Bridge as the doors swoosh open and takes a look around to gauge the situation again.::

EO_Davis: ::looks at the console, checking to see if there is any effect::

CSO_Ens_Sasik: Cloud: I'm Sasik. Do you understand me?

CO_CAPT_Andersen: ::sees Ops:: Ops: Ensign Bergin...good to see you back. Doctor Brown gave you a clean bill of health, I trust?

ACNS_Nayiz: ::looks over at OPS as he enters the bridge, then goes back to her work::

Ops-Ensign: CO: More or less, and thank you, Sir.

AXO_LtJG_Adam_More: ::gets up and walks over to mission Ops::

CSO_Ens_Sasik: Cloud: Obviously not... well what are you going to do? Destroy the ship?

Ops-Ensign: ::Heads over to OPS Console::

EO_Davis: ::screen lights up, and so does his face as the results come back fairly positive::

CO_CAPT_Andersen: EO: Report, Mr. Davis.

Anasi: ::gets  bored of this thing decides to look around elsewhere::

EO_Davis: CO: I'm getting some readings from Deck 3.  We still don't have everything, but roughly 70% to 75% of the sensors are working again.

EO_Davis: CO:  There doesn't appear to be any signs of fire.

CSO_Ens_Sasik: ::has frozen tricorder and phaser on his suit::

Ops-Ensign: ::Activates Ops and readjusts the the system again::

CO_CAPT_Andersen: EO: Good. Relay your findings to the engineering teams down there.

EO_Davis: ::nods::

EO_Davis: CO: Aye sir.

ACNS_Nayiz: ::smiles as some information seems to be getting through to the console now from Deck 3, she sorts through to see if there is anything of use::

AXO_LtJG_Adam_More: ::me walks back to the command area::

CSO_Ens_Sasik: *CO*: Obviously the cloud is causing this trouble. I suggest that you try to put forcefields around it.

EO_Davis: ::quickily summarizes data into a brief report and transmits it to the damage control and engineering teams on Deck 3::

EO_Davis: ::immediately after, brings up a similar configuration of data for Deck 4 as he had for Deck 3 and begins making preparations to access that deck through the same methods::

CO_CAPT_Andersen: AXO: Mr. More, you heard Sasik...engage forcefields around the cloud on Deck 3.

EO_Davis: ::hears the captain behind him::

ACNS_Nayiz: :: not to sure if forcefields would work it has already penetrated our main sheilds, but prays they will::

AXO_LtJG_Adam_More: CO: Understood.

EO_Davis: CO, AXO:  That might be a problem.  Internal sensors aren't even detecting the cloud; I'm not sure what good the forcefields will do, if any.

AXO_LtJG_Adam_More: ::strools over to science again, and starts re routing power::

Ops-Ensign: ::checks power allocation charts and looks for any adjustments needed::

AXO_LtJG_Adam_More: ::looks up::

AXO_LtJG_Adam_More: EO: If we put up frocefields on every section, chances are it will be caught sooner or later

EO_Davis: AXO: We don't even know the make-up of this cloud.  For all we know, forcefields could be entirely useless.

Anasi: ::Decides to look for another thing to play with, floats upwards::

CSO_Ens_Sasik: ::Scanning the cloud with tricorder::

EO_Davis: CO, AXO:  Perhaps we could use the ventilation systems to 'redirect' it to where we want it..

Ops-Ensign: ::tries using Left hand a bit to get it used to it again but it hurts a wee bit::

AXO_LtJG_Adam_More: EO: if something passess through a forcefield, surely we would be able to tell

EO_Davis: ::Shrugs::

EO_Davis: AXO:  With all due respect sir, that is somewhat naive.  We have no idea what we're dealing with.

CO_CAPT_Andersen: EO: Is there a problem with the forcefields on that deck? Or any of the affected decks?

Anasi: ::Suddenly changes direction going  down, to deck 5::

ACNS_Nayiz: AXO: I have to agree that we need more information

EO_Davis: CO:  Not sure yet.  Let me redirect the relays on Deck 4 and see.

EO_Davis: ::turns and quickily executes the command to redirect the odn flow for Deck 4::

AXO_LtJG_Adam_More: EO: But, It might help, and not a great strain on power, its worth a shot.

KevinB: Action: sensor data on deck 4 flares to life filling the screen with data... including, briefly, the cloud before the panel shorts out and covers in frost. lights on the bridge flicker momentarily before returning to normal

EO_Davis: Self:  Boy howdy...

Ops-Ensign: ::Looking at the data available to him:: CO: Sir, the way I see it, from these effects that have occuredm this cloud is almost feeding on the heat available to it.

EO_Davis: ::attempts to compensate by restricting the data flow from Deck 4 every so slightly::

Ops-Ensign: CO: It's absorbing it, maybe we've been going about this all wrong.

ACNS_Nayiz: ::does not find any comfort in what OPS said::

CSO_Ens_Sasik: ::Tries to find a working tricorder from deck 4::

EO_Davis: ::suddenly realizes that his console is frozen::

CO_CAPT_Andersen: EO: If it's affecting our bridge controls, that means it can transmit its effects through ODN lines...

Ops-Ensign: CO: Whatever this thing is it's on the move again, we just lost internal sensors on deck 5, section 5.

AXO_LtJG_Adam_More: ::gets up from the console solemnly::

AXO_LtJG_Adam_More: ::walks over to the CO::

EO_Davis: ::nods to Andersen, unsure of his next move::

AXO_LtJG_Adam_More: CO: Sir, could I speak to you in private?

EO_Davis: ::gets up and walks over to the Mission Operations console and modifies it to display engineering and mops data::

CO_CAPT_Andersen: AXO: I don't know that this the time for it, Lieutenant...is it critical?

AXO_LtJG_Adam_More: CO: It may be.

CO_CAPT_Andersen: ::takes PADD:: AXO: And you felt this was something you had to tell me in private? Mr. More, if it regards this ship, everyone needs to know about it so appropriate measures can be taken.

Ops-Ensign: ::prepares his theories and ideas on 'starving the cloud'::

CO_CAPT_Andersen: AXO: Besides, so far only temperature controls have been affected - there has been no damage to gravity generators or atmospheric circulation.

AXO_LtJG_Adam_More: CO: I thought it uniwse to worry the crew on something that might not be a problem.

EO_Davis: ::quickily begins a subroutine that will stop any signals from coming back through the ODN::

ACNS_Nayiz: ::gets up and moves closer to OPS:: OPS: I feel like we are getting no where fast at the minute. I wish you luck with starving this cloud. ::then starts to head back to her station::

AXO_LtJG_Adam_More: CO: That's possibly because this thing hasn;t hit there yet

CO_CAPT_Andersen: AXO: Nevertheless, we need to be made aware of all possibilities. And I'd be willing to bet, the way this thing is flowing through the ship, the crew knows well that losing life support is a possibility.

EO_Davis: ::slumps back in frustration, as he knows he's running out of ideas::

Ops-Ensign: CNS: This thing is obviously an endotherm of somekind. We've just been giving it more and more.

AXO_LtJG_Adam_More: CO: I suggest we cut power to the decks that have become unresponsive, and put the crew closer to the shuttle and evacuation bays, incase of an emergency.

EO_Davis: OPS: Why don't we just completely shut down whatever deck it is on?

ACNS_Nayiz: ::nods and smiles:: OPS: I would have to agree and that would be why I can sense nothing from it

EO_Davis: OPS, CNS:  Assuming that all people are evacuated, that is.

CO_CAPT_Andersen: AXO: Then get it done right away. Dismissed.

CSO_Ens_Sasik: *Bridge*: Sasik here. The deck 4 is dark and unoperational. The temperature seems to be rising.

ACNS_Nayiz: EO: It may be one of our only options, as things are no we are not able to find anything of any use to help us.

Ops-Ensign: EO: The way I see it is that there is no garauntee w'll get the systems back on after shutdown and so it could be ill advised...

EO_Davis: OPS: As it is, those systems are useless anyway..

AXO_LtJG_Adam_More: CO: Understood. ::walks briskly out of the RR, wondering if it;s showing he is nervous::

Ops-Ensign: EO: But what if it doesn't work and we find a plan that needs those systems?

Anasi: ::getting bored::

CSO_Ens_Sasik: *Bridge*: Any idea where that cloud is now? I could go there to gather more data.

AXO_LtJG_Adam_More: ::steps back over to the Science console::

EO_Davis: OPS:  Well, first of all, what is on Deck 4?

CO_CAPT_Andersen: ::leaves RR:: All: Has anyone been able to find out exactly what damage has been done to each section by the cloud?

ACNS_Nayiz: ::thinks someone should respond to the CSO:: *CSO*: acknowledged, have you managed to gather any information?

CSO_Ens_Sasik: *ACNS*: Not really. This deck is unoperational but the temperature is rising slowly.

AXO_LtJG_Adam_More: ::taps his badge:: *More to all hands* Evacuate the affected decks, and reroute as many functions as possible to the adjacent decks. All non-essential crewmembers report to the shuttlebays

AXO_LtJG_Adam_More: ::me reroutes as much power as possible and hopes it will be enough::

ACNS_Nayiz: ::looks shocked:: OPS/EO: I had not expected this so quickly

AXO_LtJG_Adam_More: ::taps his badge again:: *Flight Crew* Flight Officers, this is More. Begin prepping shuttles for departure, but don't sdeparte them, just get them ready to launch at a moments notice. AXO out.

Ops-Ensign: CO: Sir, I'd like to request that we atleast try my idea. I think it's a viable plan.

AXO_LtJG_Adam_More: ::looks to the CO:: It's done, sir.

Anasi: ::Decides to check out the stuff in between the open spaces::

EO_Davis: ::finishes subroutine and places it into the active directory::

AXO_LtJG_Adam_More: ::gets up again and walks up to tactical::

CSO_Ens_Sasik: ::Goes to TL:: Computer: Deck 5.

CO_CAPT_Andersen: Ops: Fine. Evacuate Deck 6 and drop temperatures on the entire deck to 10 degrees.

Anasi: ::stretches and flattens itself out toe explore the small space, finding some path to follow::

Ops-Ensign: CO: Aye Sir ::Activates Evacuation Protocalls for Deck 6 and waits for everyone to evacuate::

AXO_LtJG_Adam_More: ::begins scanning for the requested help, and their ETA::

EO_Davis: CO, OPS:  If all else fails, we could try modifying the ventilation systems to vent the cloud into space.

Ops-Ensign: CO: Evacuation Complete. Setting Environemntal Controls to Manual, lowering temperature. ::Lowers TEmp on Deck 6 to 10 degrees::

AXO_LtJG_Adam_More: ::looks up again:: FCO_Rabb: Ensign, status of all shuttles?

CO_CAPT_Andersen: EO: But would the cloud go willingly? If it's doing what it's doing, I doubt it's going to let itself get sucked into space.

AXO_LtJG_Adam_More: <FCO_Rabb>: AXO: Shuttles 1 through 6 are ready, and the Broadsword is being prepped as we speak.

CSO_Ens_Sasik: ::Scanning deck 5::

EO_Davis: CO:  The intent would not be to ask it to leave.  If we coudl modify the ventilation system so that one individual shaft takes care of the cloud, we might be able to activate the pressure subsystems and force it in.

EO_Davis: CO:  It's a long-shot though.

AXO_LtJG_Adam_More: CO: ::sighs:: The help we requested from Rampart will arrive in 2.14 hours.

CSO_Ens_Sasik: *CO/Bridge*: I'm seeing the cloud again. The temperature is close to absolute zero.

ACNS_Nayiz: ::Smiles:: EO: I hope your powers of persuasion work on this cloud

Ops-Ensign: CO: To be honest I it's a low enough temperature, maybe drop it another 100K?

EO_Davis: ACNS:  Persuasion is simply force with a nicer mentality.

CO_CAPT_Andersen: Ops: Go ahead and make it 40 below.

EO_Davis: ::returns a slight smile::

ACNS_Nayiz: ::chuckles to herself:: 
Ops-Ensign: CO: Aye Sir. ::Drops Temp further to Deck 6::

EO_Davis: ::makes preparations to try and force the cloud out using the ventilation system, in case things should come to that point::

Anasi: ::Decides to head down even though it's nice here.::

EO_Davis: ::blue alert activates on his console, and he ducks back into the system to see the problem; this shows him that internal sensors are failing on certain areas::

Ops-Ensign: CO: Sir, We're loosing more Sensor Relays. It's still on the move.

EO_Davis: OPS: Any idea where?

CO_CAPT_Andersen: Ops: How far is it getting?

CSO_Ens_Sasik: ::Enters TL:: Computer: Bridge.

EO_Davis: ::curses to himself quietly, and begins following its path on his own console::

Ops-Ensign: Decks 5 to 9, section 6.

CO_CAPT_Andersen: Self: So much for freezing it out.

Ops-Ensign: CO: Deck 10, Section 7.

EO_Davis: ::another blue alert sounds, and he loses contact with main engineering::

Ops-Ensign: CO: Deck 11, Section 11.

EO_Davis: CO:  I've just lost contact with Main Engineering, Captain.

CO_CAPT_Andersen: EO: Transfer engineering control to the bridge.

EO_Davis: CO: Aye

EO_Davis: ::quickily works so they don't lose any more options::

EO_Davis: CO:  Navigation systems just went off as well..

CSO_Ens_Sasik: ::Feels the TL jumping up and down a bit::

Ops-Ensign: CO: External Sensors Are Offline.

AXO_LtJG_Adam_More: ::bribgs up a staus report::

AXO_LtJG_Adam_More: ::sighs when he sees the multitude of decks offline::

CO_CAPT_Andersen: Ops: Seal all environmental controls and shut off main power. Now!

Ops-Ensign: CO: We've lost Navigation and Thrusters.

Ops-Ensign: CO Aye Sir ::Seals Env Controls::

ACNS_Nayiz: ::Looks worried:: EO: What is likely to happen if our cloud likes the warp core, ::pauses:: or should I not ask? ::looking like she knows the answer as she asks::

CSO_Ens_Sasik: ::Enters the bridge and goes to the science console::

Ops-Ensign: CO: controls Sealed. Main power as in all of main power sir?

EO_Davis: ACNS:  Who knows at this point...

AXO_LtJG_Adam_More: ::sees the light drop down to a minimum::

EO_Davis: CO:  Permission to deactivate warp core, Captain.

CO_CAPT_Andersen: Ops: I said now, Mr. Bergin!

CO_CAPT_Andersen: EO: Do it.

Ops-Ensign: CO: Sir, Section 7, Decks 12-14 areoff linesir. Aye Sir.

EO_Davis: ::without responding, he begins the quickest route to shutting down the warp core::

Ops-Ensign: ::Shuts off main power to all decks::

AXO_LtJG_Adam_More: CO: We just lost shuttlebay controls.

Ops-Ensign: CO: Should we go to Aux Power?

ACNS_Nayiz: ::sighs as the CO gives permission to deactivate the warp core::

AXO_LtJG_Adam_More: CO: I suggest we evacuate all crew members we can on escape pods

EO_Davis: ::seals plasma conduits into the core and eliminates all odn contact with it::

CSO_Ens_Sasik: All: I think it's time to evacuate.

EO_Davis: ::watches as core status becomes non-existant::

EO_Davis: CO: Warp core has been shut down.

ACNS_Nayiz: ::heads to the CSO:: CSO: I am afraid I have been able to get little if any information while you have been away

CO_CAPT_Andersen: ::thinks a second:: Ops: No. Let's not give this thing what it wants.

AXO_LtJG_Adam_More: ::Looks at the CSO:: CSO: Thats the captains descion

Ops-Ensign: CO: Aye Sir.

CSO_Ens_Sasik: ::Nods to ACNS and AXO::

EO_Davis: CO:  It looks like it's heading towards the bottom of the ship. There is an anti-matter concern there..

CO_CAPT_Andersen: AXO: Break out thermal suits and emergency blankets for all hands. It's bound to get a little chilly.

AXO_LtJG_Adam_More: CO: As ordered, Captain.

ACNS_Nayiz: ::wishes she had not just heard the CO's last order to the AXO::

CO_CAPT_Andersen: EO: Have the crews down there put the antimatter into magnetic bottles and transport them to engineering.

Ops-Ensign: CO : Sir, Section 8, decks 14-20 are offline.

EO_Davis: CO:  There's no where near enough time to move all of it.

Anasi: ::Stops tired of the free fall and heads to the  side, missing the cold or space::

CO_CAPT_Andersen: EO: Then vent it into space below us.

EO_Davis: CO:  The only option may be to eject the pods.

Ops-Ensign: CO: Sir, We've Lost transporters.

EO_Davis: CO:  Aye sir.

CO_CAPT_Andersen: EO: Then eject them using manual ejection systems.

AXO_LtJG_Adam_More: ::taps a few buttons on the CTO console, and wodners if this is becoming his post for his term as AXO::

EO_Davis: ::begins manually ejecting the anti-matter pods before those systems go down as well::

Ops-Ensign: CO: Sir! Deck 21 is completely offline, we've lost main computer control.

EO_Davis: ::ejection stops, and he quickily switches to secondary systems and continues::

ACNS_Nayiz: ::goes to the EO:: EO: May I help you with that? we have very little time now.

CO_CAPT_Andersen: All: Well, there's nothing else for this cloud to consume.

Ops-Ensign: CO: Secondary Systems are coming online.

EO_Davis: ACNS:  I think I'm all right.  Two more...

Ops-Ensign: CO: Sir, We've lost Deck 22.

CO_CAPT_Andersen: EO: Mobilize engineering teams using the Jeffries Tubes to begin reconnecting ODN and internal sensors beginning with Deck 3.

EO_Davis: ::ejects the final pod, choosing a different exit angle so the pods do not collide::

Anasi: ::heads back on its way, no more time for doddling and playing around::

EO_Davis: CO:  All anti-matter pods ejected, Captain.

EO_Davis: CO:  Aye sir.

KevinB: Action: the cloud phases through the outer hull on deck 22 and drifts away into space

EO_Davis: ::alerts teams, and heads to Jeffries tube himself and pops the hatch::

EO_Davis: ::heads down to engineering::

CO_CAPT_Andersen: All: We'll just have to trust that the cloud decides to leave us alone. In the meantime...there should be emergency rations underneath the replicator.

Ops-Ensign: CO: Permission to help with the repair efforts, sir.

CSO_Ens_Sasik: ::Sighs and looks at the empty console.. still no sensors::

CO_CAPT_Andersen: Ops: Granted.

AXO_LtJG_Adam_More: ::sighs again::

Ops-Ensign: CO: Thank You Sir. ::Heads off the bridge looking for the nearest JT access and an engineering Kit::

KevinB: <<<<<END MISSION>>>>>
