<<<<<<<RESUME MISSION>>>>>>>

CSO_Sanchez says:
::leans right back in his seat, stretching out for a moment until the computer beeps for the end of the analysis, yawning::

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
::sits at the Ops Station, attempting to locate the captain with the sensors, and finding a way to narrow the confinement beam, to beam both the CTO and CO out::

CSO_Sanchez says:
::shuffles around in he seat to get comfortable again and presses a few buttons on his console for it to show a small, condensed sensor report::

CMO_Lt_Nero says:
::bumbles around in sickbay::

Host Kevin says:
<Col Sec2> :: glancing at clock on wall::

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
::Commbadge beeps::  <Ens. Spanner>: *CEO*:Ma'am, sorry to disturb you but I think that you should return to Engineering.  The degradation of the containment field is getting worse.

Host CO_Winters says:
@*Sec* And when will the Doctor arrive?

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CSO: Report.

CSO_Sanchez says:
::Shakes the tiredness off for a moment:: AXO: It's still coming, containment is still weakening, em levels are still relatively high. Same as before.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
::rubbing the sleep out of her eyes::  *Ens. Spanner*:  What?  Oh all right I will be there in a moment.  Shemara out!   Self: Augusfrat!! they can't do anything without me.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CSO: Have you made any progress as to an alternative to dumping the Core?

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
::gets up and hastily puts on her uniform and returns to engineering::

CSO_Sanchez says:
AXO: No. But I have had some luck in localizing this EM disturbance.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
ALL:  OK what is the problem now?

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CSO: I'm no scientist; how does that help us?

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
::mutters Klingon curses under her breath::

CSO_Sanchez says:
AXO: Looks like the elevated EM readings are originating from beneath the Medical Center of the colony. No luck identifying it yet though.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CSO: Understood, keep me informed.

Host Kevin says:
@<Col Sec> CO: If I knew that... Sir... I'd be sure to tell you, I'm sure she's just trying to assess the best way we can offer you assistance...

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
::Carries on his work and continues working on locating the captain::

CSO_Sanchez says:
AXO: Okee dokee.

Host Kevin says:
@<ColSec> :: under breath adds... and get you the *mumbled* off planet::

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
*CEO*: Lieutenant, have you made any breakthroughs regarding our problem? I need an alternative to dumping the core.

Host CO_Winters says:
@CTO: A real disciplined security force they have here.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
*AXO*:  We are discussing something now sir.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@CO: Yes, very disciplined.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
*CEO*: I need an answer, fast, Shemara. More out.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CSO: ETA of the anomaly?

CSO_Sanchez says:
::Turns around in his chair to address More:: AXO: You realize we can't just cut ourselves free of this? We're obligated to eliminate the anomaly.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
Ens.T'Chew:  Do you think that you could actually get a containment field under the twist without breaching the core?

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CSO: Of course.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@CO: How much more disciplined could they be?

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CSO: However, I need to know all the options before I tell the captain.

CSO_Sanchez says:
::Looks over at his console for a moment:: AXO: Current Intercept.. A little under four hours.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CSO: Understood.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
<Ens.T'Chew>  CEO:  Yes ma'am I know I could.  This containment field is denser and can be controlled more easily.  It should work.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
Self: Time to face the music...

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CSO: I'll be in the briefing room if you need me.

CSO_Sanchez says:
::looks back over mores way:: AXO: In reality we need someway to isolate our weapons and ourselves from the effects of the anomaly. I doubt phasers would work with this much interference from it, and we probably wouldn't have the power. As for conventional torpedoes, they'd likely suffer the same fate as the probes.

CSO_Sanchez says:
::Nods:: AXO: If we need you, I'll yell.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
::walks from the ops station, his attempts to punch through the forcefield successful... stops at the CSO's station to listen to his report::

Host CO_Winters says:
:: begins examining the room with his eyes looking for anything that might help ::

CMO_Lt_Nero says:
::fights back a resisting patient, finally managing to tranquilize them with a hypospray cocktail::

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CSO: if dumping the warp core is the only solution, fine, but I was hoping for another. It is a last resort.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@::Eyes his phaser::

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
*AXO*:  Sir, Ens. T'Chew has come up with an idea.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
::takes a seat in the briefing room, closes his eyes, rubs his temples, then hits his combadge:: *CEO*: Go on, lieutenant.

CSO_Sanchez says:
AXO: I would think that modifying our deflector could be used in someway to isolate ourselves from the anomaly.... if not, we may be able to generate enough power in the deflector to tear this thing apart, provided we don't mind blowing out a few systems by routing warp power.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
*CSO*: If we did that, we wouldn't know if we were going to be safe until after it happens, correct?

CSO_Sanchez says:
*AXO*: You get the picture.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
*AXO*:  Ens. T'Chew feels that if we were to saturate a second containment field smaller than the one that is presently being used and infusing it with Fistrium which is a refractory metal it might  work.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
*CSO*: I like that even less than dumping the core... any other alternate methods, get back to me. More out.

CSO_Sanchez says:
*AXO* However, given that we have nearly 4 hours, I'd like your permission to pull a few resources from analyzing the anomaly and focus on this power source.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
*CSO*: Granted.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@CO: Any idea how much longer we'll be waiting, Captain?

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
*CEO*: Try it. When will we know if it works?

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
*AXO*:  It might just push the twist away from the core and containment fields might just return to normal.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
*AXO*: Should be almost instantly.

CSO_Sanchez says:
::Works at Sci. 1, focusing the majority of the resources of the Lateral sensor array on the EM signatures detected under the colony::

Host CO_Winters says:
@CTO: Not too much longer I would hope. Of course she is probably just stalling.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@CO: Buy WHY is she stalling?

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@CO: Think she's trying to hide something?

Host CO_Winters says:
@ :: whispers :: There is probably some connection between the anomaly the warp problems and this colony.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
*CEO*: Understood. Do it. get back to me with the results. More out.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
::opens a COMM to the planet::

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@::Nods::

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
*CSO*: We are going to try to install a smaller containment field inside of the one is currently running and infuse it with Fistrium to try to refract the twist.  Sound good to you??

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
*CO*: Captain Winters, this is the Scimitar, Please respond.

Host CO_Winters says:
@*AXO* Go ahead.

CSO_Sanchez says:
*CEO* Right now, Lieutenant, I am at a loss.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
*CSO*:  Ok we are going to do it and I want you to watch for any changes in the anomaly.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
Ens. T'Chew:  How long till you are ready?

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
*CO*: The situation onboard has worsened, I have the CSO and CEO trying to stop the anomaly from blowing us up, however, if all methods don't work, we will have to dump the core. Also, with the Colony's field at full power, no matter how much I narrow the confinement beam, I cannot beam either of you out...

CSO_Sanchez says:
*AXO* Lieutenant More, this is Sánchez, I've had some luck with scanning the localized area of this EM signature. There appears to be a cavity in the planetary crust, I'm thinking that perhaps it would be prudent to have someone investigate it.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
<Ens. T'Chew> CEO: About 20 minutes ma'am.

Host CO_Winters says:
@*AXO* The transport enhancers didn't help any?

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
*CO*: No sir.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
Ens. T'Chew:  Then get on it.

Host CO_Winters says:
@*AXO* Very well then. I am sure the doctor will be more than happy to get rid of us anyway.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
*CO*: One moment, please sir. Ensign Sanchez has found an electromagnetic signature, which is emanating from a cavity in the planet's crust. he suggests someone be sent to investigate it.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
*CO*: her "getting rid" of you is what concerns me most.

Host CO_Winters says:
@*AXO* How are repairs proceeding?

Host Kevin says:
@<COL SEC1> ::Nudges Col Sec 2 and whispers, Col Sec 2 leaves quickly. Col Sec one glances at each of the other sec team guarding the AT.. each shift their stance::

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
*CO*: To my knowledge, all repairs are done.  We may have a few more if lieutenant Shemara's plan doesn't work.

Host CO_Winters says:
*AXO* And I wouldn't imagine security here would go along with the idea of us exploring.

Host CO_Winters says:
@*AXO* Warp Drive is available?

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
*CO*: I understand sir, however it may be the thing between us surviving this...

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
::Notices the COL SEC guys moving around and moves his hand toward his phaser as he motions to the sec teams::

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
*CO*: We are having no mechanical problems with the warp systems, but as we don't know the range of the anomaly, I am not sure it would be much good.

Host CO_Winters says:
@*AXO* Relay the information on the cavern to the CTO's tricorder.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
*CSO*: Send all the information we have on the cavity to the CTO's tricorder, ensign.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
*CO*: Understood, Sanchez is working on it.

Host Kevin says:
@<Col Sec 1> CTO: I wouldn't do that...

CSO_Sanchez says:
*AXO* I'll get right on it.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@Col Sec 1: You're not exactly helping the situation.

CSO_Sanchez says:
::Compresses the data on the somewhat limited cavern into a single data file and preps a transfer link to the tricorder. Once the tricorder accepts the transfer protocols, sends the file::

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@::Hears his tricorder beep, looks at it, and passes it to the CO::

Host CO_Winters says:
@CTO: Do you think they will fire at us if we cause a distraction for you to get away from here and  into the cavern?

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
*CO*: if that's all sir, I'll get back to the bridge...

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@CO: My job is to insure your safety at the moment... It wouldn't be wise to leave you.

CSO_Sanchez says:
::Uses the Life-Sciences array to check the cavern and surrounding area for life forms while keeping one eye for any changes in the anomaly's status::

Host CO_Winters says:
@*AXO* Winters out. 

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
:;taps his badge::

Host Kevin says:
@<Col Sec> CTO: not my job to help

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
::gets up with his PADD, and wonders if Captain Anderson and Captain Winters felt like this after commanding the scimitar for a while::

Host CO_Winters says:
@CTO: I assure you, I am quite capable of taking care of myself, and I didn't bring you along for your protection.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
Self: calling the though shot's isn't half as easy as it looks.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
:;walks through the doors to the bridge::

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
::nods to the CSO and takes the Ops station, and begins working or finding the colony's shield frequency so he can beam through it::

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@::Takes the PADD, looks at the map, and puts it in his pocket:: CO: It could be done, Captain.

Host CO_Winters says:
@Col Sec: I bet you wouldn't be so tough without your weapons. :: mockingly ::

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
*AXO/CSO*: Sirs we are ready to try the new containment field.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
::looks back at Ens. T'Chew::  Ens. T'Chew are you ready?

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@::Takes this as his signal and starts edging his way away from the others, but not directly towards the door::

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
*CEO*: As soon as Sanchez gives the word.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
<Ens. T'Chew>: CEO:  Yes ma'am

CSO_Sanchez says:
::Punches up a few things on the SCI console.:: *CTO* Sanchez to Lieutenant Rogers, got some more information on that cavern down there. Life sciences indicate approximately 30 humanoids, I have no idea what they're doing, but they're moving.

Host Kevin says:
@<Col Sec1> Co: I bet you wouldn't be so tough without your bodyguard or Starfleet costume

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@::whispering:: *CSO* Thank you. I'll try to remember to watch my fire. ::Smirks::

Host CO_Winters says:
@Col Sec: Lets see. :: rushes the head security guard throwing in the first punch ::

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
Ens. T'Chew:  Let her rip!  ::watches just to make sure::

Host Kevin says:
@<ColSec1> fires weapon at the charging CO, missing, a black scorch mark appearing on the wall behind Winters::

Host CO_Winters says:
@Sec: I see you can't fight with your hands.

Host Kevin says:
@<ColSecTeam> ::Raising their weapons and firing at the AT members, ducking for cover.::

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@<Sec teams 1 and 2>::Join in on the commotion, attacking the guards::

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
::hears phaser fire over the active comm with winters::

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CSO: Marco, if we fired a tachyon burst at the Colony's shields, could we take them offline long enough to beam the AT up?

Host Kevin says:
Action:AT members take out three Col Sec, clearing a path to the door... Col Sec hits 4 AT sec... they go down with cut off screams of pain::

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@::Runs out the door and towards the cavern::

Host CO_Winters says:
@*Scimitar* A beam up of all but the CTO would be good right about now. We have injured!

CSO_Sanchez says:
AXO: They'd either have to reset their shield harmonics, allowing us the beam the Awayteam up, or they would blow out their entire shield grid.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CSO: Both of them result in us being able to beam out the away team, correct?

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
*AXO*: Sir, for the moment the new shield is holding and there is no more degradation for the present.

CSO_Sanchez says:
AXO: Yes.

Host CO_Winters says:
@Sec1: Where are there shield generators located?

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@::Continuing to run, looks at the map::

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
::while he is talking gets an active lock on all of the away team excepting the CTO::

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CSO: Fire three tachyon bursts at the colony's shield grid, and tell me when they go down

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
*CO*: We are working on it captain, standby.

CSO_Sanchez says:
AXO: Charging the deflector for a tachyon burst.

Host Kevin says:
@<ColSec1> CO: WHAT? :: fires as he moves :: CO: you can't honestly think I'm going to tell you that?

CSO_Sanchez says:
::Preps the deflector:: AXO: deflector ready. Firing. ::Fires the Tachyon bursts at the colonies shield grid::

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CSO: Tell me when those shields fry.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@::Arrives in the cavern and stops to examine the situation::

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
*CMO*: we have wounded on the way. Prep sickbay.

Host CO_Winters says:
*Scimitar*: Everyone but the CTO for now.. Hopefully hey will not miss him.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
::waits with his fingers on the ops console waiting for the shields go down.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
*CO*: Understood.

Host Kevin says:
ACTION: the tachyon burst smash into the colony's atmospheric shields shorting it out... deadly gasses, kept outside blast into the colony at high speed as the planets natural air pressure equalizes with the colonies.

CSO_Sanchez says:
::Gets the word from the sensor array:: AXO: Shields are down. But they're loosing atmospheric homeostasis.

Host Kevin says:
Action: unsuspecting miners drop to the ground, choking, gasping for breath in the deadly, thick, opaque air that now fills the compound

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
Ens. Jackson:  I need for you to come up with a way to protect and to shore up the containment field so it does not degrade any more.

Host CO_Winters says:
@All: Engage your environmental suits.

CSO_Sanchez says:
AXO: I'm getting transporter locks on colonists down there. It would be prudent to rescue them.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CSO: Beam all survivors up, including colony personal.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CSO: Engage.

CSO_Sanchez says:
AXO: Aye, I'm starting the evacuation. Security should be sent tot he Transporter rooms along with medical teams.

Host Kevin says:
ACTION: Warning lights go off through out the buildings of the colony.  klaxons ring with deafening volume

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
<Ens. Jackson> CEO:  Yes ma'am.  I will get on it now.

Host AXO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CSO: Do it.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@::Hits the helmet button to put the helmet up::

Host Kevin says:
@<Colsec1> :: looking at AT::  CO: you've killed us.... you've kill...

Host Kevin says:
Action: voices and views fade as the AT is beamed back to the ship

CSO_Sanchez says:
::Continues whizzing his hands over the consoles, using science sensors to acquire locks quickly:: *Security* Security to al transporter rooms.

CSO_Sanchez says:
*Sickbay*: Emergency Medical teams to all transporter rooms.

CMO_Lt_Nero says:
*CSO* Aye, we're on it.  ::begins assigning different med teams to different TR's::

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
*CSO*: Ens. Sanchez: Please run a gravimetric scan as soon as you can.  I need to know if the distortion in engineering is still in the same place or has it moved to another part of the system.

Host CO_Winters says:
:: materializes not impressed ::

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@::Uses his tricorder to examine the cavern::

Host CO_Winters says:
*AXO* What the hell? I will see you shortly.....

Host CO_Winters says:
*CTO* Report!

CMO_Lt_Nero says:
::includes himself in one of the teams and heads to TR1::

CSO_Sanchez says:
::while whizzing over transporter controls from the bridge, to coordinate the transporter chiefs efforts:: *CEO* I'm a little busy right now, I'll try when I get a free hand.

Host CO_Winters says:
:: walks out of the transporter room to the Turbolift :: TL: Bridge

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@*CO* I'm fine, Captain. Right now I'm trying to assess the situation. Did everyone make it out OK?

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
*CSO*: Understood Ensign.

Host CO_Winters says:
*CTO* The number of dead could still climb.... Get me a report on what is in that cavern.

CMO_Lt_Nero says:
::arrives at TR1 to find 3 survivors, and 5 corpses...shakes head, then immediately starts taking care of the ones still living::

CSO_Sanchez says:
::When he gets a moment, uses the lateral sensor array to scan main engineering for the status of the 'subspace twist'::

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
::goes to her office and sits down for a fast cup of spice tea and to give Squiggy a pet on his head::

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@*CO* Scans reveal that there's a breathable atmosphere and... it appears to be stasis pods... around 20 of them. I'm going to attempt to examine one.

CMO_Lt_Nero says:
MO Suture: I want you to get these survivors to sickbay on the double!

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@::Starts walking towards the stasis pods while keeping an eye out for hostile's::

CMO_Lt_Nero says:
MO B'lud Kah'laT: Get all deceased to the morgue as soon as you can.  Schedule formal funeral services accordingly.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
<Ens. T'Chew>: CEO: Ma'am, the degradation is resuming at 84%Of its previous rate.  Estimated time to complete failure is now at 4 hours 6mins.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@::Sees the med center and notices an opening that leads to the cavity:: *CO* I think I've found the cavity... going in for closer inspection.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@::Looks into the med center to make sure no hostile's are there and slowly walks towards the cavity::

Host CO_Winters says:
*CTO* As far as we know all of the miners have been beamed up. Keep me informed..

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
::trips over the leg of the chair::  Ens. T'Chew:  It what???????

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@*CO* Aye, sir.

CSO_Sanchez says:
*CEO* Got those readings for you now Lieutenant, the twist is still there, you've probably noticed it's still degrading our containment. ::Trails off quietly from the comm:: Self: What I wouldn't give for some tequila with that twist...

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
*AXO*: Sir I regret to inform you that our little trick has failed and the degradation of the containment field has resumed and containment failure is estimated in 4 hours 6 minutes.

CSO_Sanchez says:
::Smiles to himself and checks readings on the anomaly approaching::

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@::Moves to a slow jog towards the cavity::

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
Self:  Augusfrat!!

Host CO_Winters says:
:: walks out onto the bridge after a long ride ::

Host CO_Winters says:
All: Report

CMO_Lt_Nero says:
::rushes back to sickbay, just as the other med teams are arriving with their wounded...he finds the most seriously wounded and begins working::

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@::Gets into the cavity and sees a computer terminal and goes to it to get information::

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@::Pops his knuckles and starts examining the computer contents::

CMO_Lt_Nero says:
::while performing surgery:: *CO* The ship has suffered 5 casualties...the colony, 12.... we have a total of 23 wounded, 8 of them crew.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@*CO* I've found a computer terminal. I'm trying to get information from it.

Host CO_Winters says:
*CTO* What do you see?

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@*CO* Umm... not much.

CMO_Lt_Nero says:
::receives new statistics:: *CO* Excuse me, sir, 23 wounded from the colony, 8 from the ship...making 31 in all

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@::Continues to examine the computer contents::

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
::watches the systems board for any other signs of failures through out the ship::  Self:  I guess I will be staying here again tonight.

Host CO_Winters says:
:: looks around for the AXO ::

CSO_Sanchez says:
::Turns to the captain:: CO: The anomaly that seems to be 'following us' is still... following us, estimated intercept time is about 3 hours. The twist around the warp core is still there and effecting containment.

CSO_Sanchez says:
CO: I was about to use neutrino beams to try and get a better look at the cavity... should be able to get something resembling a visible image.

Host CO_Winters says:
CSO: Do it.

CSO_Sanchez says:
CO: I'm on it. ::Preps the deflector for neutrino beams for the scans::
