To: 		Authorized Personnel, U.S.S. Scimitar NCC-80826
From:		Captain John Winters, Commanding Officer
Subject:		Mission Briefing - Stardate 10111.05
Date:		Stardate 10111.01
-----------------------------

We must find some way to get that shuttle outbefore those life signs on board fade out for good. We currently have two ideas, a sub-light flyby by the Scimitar so we can beam the shuttles crew to safety and another involving the Kuroc causing a tear in subspace and towing the shuttle through. We will try the Scimitar fly by first. That has a smaller element of danger, and causing subspace to tear is a last resort to saving these two lives.

<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@::Sitting in a shuttle waiting to get back to the Scimi::

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
::At the helm waiting to hear news on when the Kuroc will Launch::

EO_Fixit says:
::On the bridge, at engineering 1, going over the calculations the CEO made::

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
::Makes another minor course correction::

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@::Eating a PB&J sandwich::

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
::Sighs at the tedious nature of following a ship drifting in subspace::

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
::Reroutes Science and Ops to his console, hoping to multi-task::

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
::Begins another precision scan of the area, hoping to get another clue as to how the shuttle got caught in subspace::

EO_Fixit says:
Self: I sure hope this is going to work...  ::opens up a new window at his console to start entering the necessary data for a simulation::

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
*CO* Captain, the Ops Sensors just informed me that we are receiving a faint communication from the channel. Should I patch through, sir?

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
*CO*: Scratch that sir, it0s data only. Should I download it to a PADD for you?

Host CO_Winters says:
::Walks onto the bridge :: FCO: Yes, please :: already carrying a PADD ::

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@::Checks the sensors:: Self: I guess I should give them a wakeup call...

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@::Hails the Scimi::

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
::Begins the download into the CO's PADD:: It's on its way sir.

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CO: Incoming hail from the Broadsword, the CTO's shuttle.

Host CO_Winters says:
::Begins reviewing the data as it becomes available ::

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CO: Onscreen?

Host CO_Winters says:
FCO: Put it through.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@COM: Scimi: Hey. Mind if I join yall?

Host CO_Winters says:
COM: Broadsword: Of course, permission to dock. Do it quickly, we will be changing course soon.

EO_Fixit says:
::Turns to look at the viewscreen, softly grinning at the CTO's comment before turning back to his console::

Host CO_Winters says:
FCO: Have you completed the calculations on a sub light warp fly by? Do you think it would peel the shuttle out of subspace?

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@COM: Scimi: Aye. ::Starts to prepare to dock::

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CO: Yes sir. Based on the information we gained last mission, I believe we could knock it out of subspace in that manner, but I am not sure we can get close enough without damaging the shuttle.

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CO: Whitall's shuttle is losing power.

Host CO_Winters says:
FCO: I only wish to beam them out.

Host CO_Winters says:
FCO: This appears to be a novel.

Host CO_Winters says:
EO: Do you know anything about literature?

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@::Begins docking procedures once he gets in range::

EO_Fixit says:
::Looks a bit surprised at the CO's comment::  CO: Not really, Sir... only had a few courses on the Academy on literature history..

Host CO_Winters says:
EO: It's Whitall's book. I doubt he would be so silly as to use his remaining power to transmit his book.

Host CO_Winters says:
FCO: Prepare for sub light fly by.

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CO: You'd be surprised sir, some authors would...

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CO: Understood.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@::Waits for the shuttlebay to open up::

EO_Fixit says:
::Thinks for a moment::  CO: It could be that he hid some clues or suggestions in it what happened to him exactly....

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
::Begins diverting power to all necessary systems::

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
::Opens shuttlebay doors::

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
::Brings the scimitar into position::

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
@::Pilots the shuttle into the shuttlebay::

Host CO_Winters says:
FCO: Will we be able to maintain a subspace field at a speed low enough to transport them?

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CO: We are ready sir. We can go as soon as the CTO's shuttle is aboard.

Host CO_Winters says:
Com: CTO: Please hurry aboard.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
*Bridge* OK. I'm on.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
::Picks up his stuff and gets out of the shuttle and heads to a TL::

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CO: Most probably. The only problem will be the power we will need to create such a huge static warp bubble... we will only be able to sustain it for a very short time.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
TL: Bridge.

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
::Closes shuttlebay doors::

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CO: The Broadsword is aboard.

Host CO_Winters says:
FCO: By all means engage.

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CO: Aye.

Host CO_Winters says:
EO: Prepare to beam the crew out.

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
::Engages at the lowest possible warp speed::

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
::Arrives on the bridge and heads for his console::

EO_Fixit says:
::Overhears the CO and FCO and nods at the CO::  CO: Understood, Captain...  ::brings the transporters to standby and transfers emergency power to the structural integrity field::

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CTO: Welcome back Will, you give Kalla my regards?

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
FCO: Thanks. Of course.

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CO: Flying by the shuttle now, engaging warp field.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
::Sets down his bag and checks the shield and weapons status::

Host CO_Winters says:
CTO: Welcome back, take your station.

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CO: Disengaging warp. Setting course for shuttle at sub light speeds.

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CO: Engaging full impulse.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
CO: Aye.

Host CO_Winters says:
CTO: Give the EO a hand.

EO_Fixit says:
::A bit impatiently looks at the engineering readouts::  FCO: Sir, structural integrity field now at 112%... power drain at 89% and rising...

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CO: ETA: Three seconds

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CO: ETA: Two seconds

Host CO_Winters says:
EO, CTO: Engage.

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CO: Slowing to thrusters.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
CO: Aye.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
::Pushes a button::

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CO: Shuttle reached. Now or never sir.

Host Kevin says:
<Computer> Ship wide: Warning, power drain at 93%, engaging battery reserves

Host CO_Winters says:
EO, CTO: Energize

EO_Fixit says:
CO/FCO: Buckling of port nacelle in 4 seconds... ::Reroutes non essential ship power to Structural integrity field::

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
::Energizes::

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
::Kills the engines and reroutes power::

EO_Fixit says:
::Looks at the CTO, wondering if he got them out in time::

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
::Looks back giving the "Don't look at me, I just pushed the button" look::

Host Kevin says:
<Computer> Warning, power drain at 92%, structural integrity down to 83%.

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
Computer: Reroute power from the engines to the SIF.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
All: We've got two live humanoids aboard.

Host Kevin says:
<Computer> FCO: acknowledged, rerouting...

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
CO/FCO: Might I suggest we get out of here now?

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
::Wipes his brow, and begins trying to put systems back to normal::

EO_Fixit says:
::Softly sighs in relief at the CTO's comment::

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CO: Shouldn't we ascertain how the shuttle was pulled into subspace.

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CO: If it was an anomaly it should be charted, so this never happens again.

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
*Sickbay: Medical team to the Transporter room, on the double.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
::Clears his throat in reference to the sirens going off::

Host CO_Winters says:
FCO: Return to normal space

EO_Fixit says:
CO/FCO: Sir's we need to return to normal space... the ship isn't going to take this long...

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
EO: I cut the engines.

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
::Closes down the field, returning them to real space::

Host Kevin says:
Action: The ship shudders as it slips back into normal space, lights and panels through out dim and flicker before coming back on, warning lights cut off one after the other till with one final "whoop" all is silent save for the rhythmic thrumming of the warp core and the occasional bleep.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
Self: Phew... still alive.

Host CO_Winters says:
All: Status Report

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
<CMO_Johnson> CO, FCO: On my way to the transporter room sir. Maybe it would be prudent to have another officer here to greet them?

EO_Fixit says:
::In suspense looks around the bridge::  Self: It's a miracle...  ::Looks at the engineering readouts, looking for a damage report::

Host Kevin says:
<Whitall>*CO*: Captain, is my story safe?

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
FCO: Operations, Flight Control and Science returning to normal operating parameters.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
CO: All's normal here...

Host CO_Winters says:
*Whitall* For now.

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
<CMO_Johnson> ::Enters sickbay and looks over to find Whitall and someone else, Whitall at the Comm, and pulls out his med kit::

EO_Fixit says:
CO: Engineering systems returning to normal as well, Sir...

Host CO_Winters says:
All: Excellent.

Host CO_Winters says:
CTO: Question Whitall, find out how his ship got stuck in subspace to begin with.

Host CO_Winters says:
EO: Any structural damage?

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CO: Minor damage to some systems, including holo systems, and a few damaged power conduits.

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CO: Nothing Lieutenant Shemara can’t handle.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
CO: Aye. I'll be down in sickbay then...

Host Kevin says:
<Whitall>*CO* thank you, you have no idea how close it came to being lost... ::some what muted:: look I told you we're both fine, get that cursed tricorder away from m- ::Transmission is cut short ::

EO_Fixit says:
::Begins receiving the damage report and reads out loud for the CO::  CO: According to the deck reports, we have minor damage to the exterior plating, approx. 5% of the outer hull will need to be replaced or repaired...

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
<CMO_Johnson> ::Finishes basic scans of Whitall and his friend::

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
::Heads into the TL:: TL: Sickbay.

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
<CMO_Johnson> Whitall: Seems everything's in order. You feel wrong anywhere?

Host Kevin says:
<CMO> If I did I’d tell you, now can we please see your captain and get my novel back?

Host CO_Winters says:
EO: Do what you can now, we will put into space dock as soon as we can.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
::Arrives in sickbay:: CMO: Can I question Mr. Whitall now?

EO_Fixit says:
CO: Understood, Sir... recommend we travel a low warp for the moment so the engineering staff can replace the overloaded power couplings.... just as a precaution...

Host CO_Winters says:
EO: Acknowledged.

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
<CMO Johnson> ::Walks up to the CTO and lowers his voice slightly:: Medically he's fine. Personality... it’s at your own risk, sir. ::Winks::

Host CO_Winters says:
FCO: The EO has recommended that we maintain low warp restrictions.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
CMO: Understood.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
::Walks over to Whitall:: Whitall: Ok. I just need to ask you a few questions so that we can do a thorough investigation...

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CO: Will do sir. Should I set a course for Rampart?

Host CO_Winters says:
FCO: I would to determine what happened to the shuttle first.

Host Kevin says:
<Whitall> Investigation of what? All I want investigated is why I’ve yet to get my novel back.

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
<CMO Johnson> ::Walks off and busies himself with a PADD::

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
Whitall: You will get it back in due time. I just need to ask you a few questions.

Host CO_Winters says:
*CTO* Try to determine what happened to his shuttle.

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CO: Understood. I'll get started on directing repair teams then, until we know more...

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
*CO* Aye.

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
::Makes priority chart of all the Scimitars damaged systems::

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
Whitall: Now... what happened that got you trapped in subspace?

Host Kevin says:
<Whitall> CTO: Very well, make it quick

EO_Fixit says:
::Begins writing a small situation report for the CEO::

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
::Decides to take his time since Whitall is being cranky::

Host CO_Winters says:
*CTO* If Mr. Whitall is healthy have him brought to my ready room.

Host Kevin says:
<Whitall> CTO:  Oh... that's what you want to know about is it?... ::Looks at his companion:: How rude of me, This is my daughter. Pandora.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
Pandora: Nice to meet you... one second.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
*CO* Do you want to interrogate him, Capn?

Host CO_Winters says:
*CTO* We both will.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
*CO* Aye.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
Whitall: How about we go up and join the Captain.

EO_Fixit says:
::Finishes his situation report and sends it to the CEO's duty messages for review and approval::

Host Kevin says:
<Whitall> CTO I think not ... Lieutenant is it. I will not be subjected to some interrogation like a common criminal. I’ve done nothing wrong and I’ll thank you kindly to keep that in mind, now if you'll arrange a call to my publisher I’ll be on my way, with my novel...

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
Whitall:You're not suspect of anything. It's just that the Captain would like to be present so that he can hear the story of what happened as well. If you were suspected of something, you would have been placed under arrest already.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
Whitall: Think of it as an interview. If you don't co-operate, it will hurt your public image, which will hurt your sales.

Host Kevin says:
<Whitall> CTO: Do you have any idea who your addressing young ma-- ::Pandora rest a hand on her fathers shoulder and whispers in his ear:: CTO: Oh very well. Let be done with this.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
Whitall: Aye. Follow me please. ::Leads the pair to a TL::

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
::Waits for them to enter the TL::

Host CO_Winters says:
FCO: Begin formulating hypothesis on what happened for the shuttle to end upw here it is.

Host Kevin says:
<The Whitalls> ::Following CTO::

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
CO: Understood sir. I'll report anything as soon as I can reasonably prove it.

Host CO_Winters says:
FCO: Hypothesis doesn’t have to be proven. Just formulated.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
::Sees the TL doors close with them inside:: TL: Bridge.

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
::Arrives on the bridge::

EO_Fixit says:
::Downloads the repair list he has and stands from his console making his way to the FCO and hands him his PADD::  FCO: Sir, here is the repair list as I have compiled it...

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
::Looks trough it::

Host CO_Winters says:
::Looks to the CTO and Whitall and  gestures towards his ready room door::

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
EO: Good work, Ensign. Transmit this to Lieutenant Shemara, and give the captain an update as to when it will be ready.

Host Kevin says:
<The Whitalls> ::Enter the Ready room::

Host CO_Winters says:
::Walks in behind them::

CTO_Lt_Rogers says:
::Follows the CO::

Host FCO_Lt_Adam_More says:
Computer: Begin researching all instances of something being caught in subspace, and create a database.

EO_Fixit says:
::Nods:: FCO: Understood, Sir..  ::Returns to his console::
