::Tires ignoring his headache to concentrate on the work::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::looks up from his notes::  Self: Dang they are finding me even when I'm off duty.. ::looks at his watch::  for another 15 minutes....  ::taps his commbadge::  *CIV*: Black here Lieutenant...

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Arrives on the bridge and goes over to his station::

CIV_LtJg_Kenji says:
*XO* Sir I'm ready for duty again. What are my orders ?

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::munches on his cookies from the plate of them he found outside his quarters::

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::catalogs a small comet that's wandered into their search pattern::

Ops_Ens_Daniels says:

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::moves to the mirror in his quarters and starts attaching his rank pips::  *CIV*: uhm, report to the bridge Lieutenant, report to Commander More there, I'll be up in a few minutes...

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
ALL: Anyone want a cookie?

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Wonders if anything will need blowing up today::

Ops_Ens_Daniels says:
::Looks over the console, over Ahkileez's shoulder::

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::gives up:: self: that's it I'll turn myself over to sickbay.

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::glances back with one grey eye:: OPS: Help you with something?

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::closes the CTO's file and gets up to head to sickbay::

Ops_Ens_Daniels says:
CSO: Looks like the 5th pallet in your lateral sensor array ::Points at a sensor systems status console:: ... is slightly out of alignment, it's causing some oscillation in the amount of power it's drawing.

Host CO_Winters says:
:: from his ready room :: *XO* Keep the crew busy Mr. Black, doesn't seem like Starfleet has much in store for us.

CIV_LtJg_Kenji says:
*XO* Aye sir, Kenji Out ::arrives at the TL:: TL: Bridge

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::walks into sickbay::

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Starts setting up a thing so that tractors will automatically come on in the case of a moron playing chicken::

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::turns at the waist:: OPS: That sounds like an engineering problem... ::turns at the beep::

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
FCO: Commander, I'm picking up an emission trail.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CSO: Source?

Ops_Ens_Daniels says:
::Shakes his head lightly:: CSO: They're your sensor pallets... ::walks back over to Ops::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
*CO*: Understood, Captain...  ::finishes his rank pips and heads out of his quarters::

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::wants to kick Daniels, but doesn't:: FCO: Whatever it was, it's not anywhere near us. The decay pattern suggest a Romulan drive system.

CIV_LtJg_Kenji says:
::arrives at the bridge:: FCO: Sir, I was ordered to report to you for duty.

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
MO: I have this headache that won't let me concentrate on my work. ::follows the pretty MO::

Ops_Ens_Daniels says:
::back at his console, feeds a little more power to long range sensors to give a bit better resolution::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CSO: Understood. Well we have nothing else to follow up at the moment. Any reason why the Romulans may have been in Sector 51?

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::lies down on the biobed as she runs a med scan on him::

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::shrugs a bit:: FCO: None I know of, other than standard spying. The trail is fairly old, but it might still be in the area. Intelligence might have some idea.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::makes his way into the nearest TL::  TL: Bridge

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CSO: Can you follow the trace?

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CIV: I could use you over at Science to help Mr. Ahkileez

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::In his own little world of tractor beams::

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
<MO> CNS: Have you been using your telepathy or empathy in the last week?

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::nods:: FCO: Shouldn't be a problem unless it disappears unexpectedly. ::fails spectacularly at keeping the sarcasm from his voice::

CIV_LtJg_Kenji says:
::Nods and walks over to Mr Ahkileez::  CSO: Bring me up to speed ensign.

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::thinks:: self: a week? MO: I don't think so. I can't remember.

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::turns and takes a deep breath in preparation:: CIV: I'm tracking a Romulan emission trail. ::lets the seconds tick by:: You're up to speed, Lieutenant. Nice to be 'in the know', isn't it? ::turns back to his job::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::as the TL arrives on the bridge he exits the TL and makes his way to the Captain's readyroom::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
Ops: Set a course for the trail, cruising speed. Engage

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::nods at the XO::

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
<MO> CNS: As far as I can tell you're fine. I'll just give you something for the headache.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::nods at the FCO and pushes the door chime::

Ops_Ens_Daniels says:
::Overhears Ahkileez's sarcasm and smiles to himself as he works, holding it back as he replies to More:: FCO: Aye, Sir.

Host CO_Winters says:
*XO* Enter Mr. Black.

CIV_LtJg_Kenji says:
CSO: Indeed, it is nice.  ::moves to Science - II::

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::sighs as she uses the hypo on him::

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::glances at Daniels, but gets back to narrowing the sensor focus to get a much clearer trail::

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
<MO> CNS: Call me if it starts up again.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::enters the readyroom as he hears the Captain's comment::  CO: Good morning, Sir..

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
MO: I will. ::jumps off the biobed::

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
Self: good distance to start repelling...  That should do it... ::Punches in a number::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CSO: Are you confident you'll be able to handle this task, ensign? Or should I assign more personal to help you?

Ops_Ens_Daniels says:
::Maps a course, following the trail, but not directly on the trail so as not to 'interfere' with the readings from the trail itself:: FCO: Course laid in, sir, warp six.

CIV_LtJg_Kenji says:
::feels a lot better since last time::

Host CO_Winters says:
XO: Good morning. Have we returned to patrol?

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::just looks at More::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
Ops: Very well then Ensign. Engage.

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::still has the headache but it seems to slowly be getting better, decides to go to the bridge until it's gone:: TL: Bridge

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CSO: Excuse me, I don't think I heard that answer?

Ops_Ens_Daniels says:
FCO: Aye, Sir. ::Gives a little nod as he punches the Engage button and puts the Helm control to one side on his console again::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::steps to the CO's office and lays his daily report on it and sits down in one of the chairs::  CO: We did, Captain...  ::glances at the door::  seems Mr More has everything under control..  ::smiles::

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::Steps off the turbolift onto the bridge::

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::blinks:: FCO: Yes, I can handle it, Commander.

Host CO_Winters says:
XO: Very well. No orders from Starfleet.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CSO: Fine then.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CTO: Commander, you have the Bridge, I'll be back shortly.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Yawns:: Self: That should do it... FCO: Aye.

CIV_LtJg_Kenji says:
FCO: Sir, It seems they have been flying into the sector, then dropped from warp turned back and took of in another direction back to Romulan space.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CIV: Understood.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::walks over to the ready room door and presses the chime::

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Gets a TO to take his spot as he walks around to the chair::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::sighs a little::  CO: I had guessed that much...  I'm looking forward to Command's reply to the "beaming down" to that Galarian Embassy....

Host CO_Winters says:
*FCO* Enter Mr. More.

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::just stands in the back of the bridge, watching everyone and listening to bits and pieces of conversations::

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
CIV: Couldn't they have just taken a while to stop and then noticed that they were in our territory and then corrected themselves?

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::Enters the RR and stands AA::

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::highlights the turning point and scans it closer, looking for a possible third trail radiating from there::

Host CO_Winters says:
XO: I haven't received anything.  FCO: Good morning Mr. More

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CO, XO: Sorry to interrupt you sirs, but the CSO has picked something up on the sensors.

Ops_Ens_Daniels says:
::puts a nice picture of the stars whirring by from the Forward Sensors on the Main viewer to give some feeling of actually going to the ship::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::turns to look at the FCO::

Host CO_Winters says:
FCO: What is it exactly?

CIV_LtJg_Kenji says:
CTO: Possible, but why go in a totally different direction then!

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CO, XO: It appears that a Romulan ship of some kind was cruising through this sector, dropped from warp, and then headed on back into Romulan space.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::glances at the CO and smiles a little::

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
CIV: Maybe they were off course and then headed to their original destination.

Host CO_Winters says:
::presses the button on his console::  Computer: Contact Starfleet Command.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CO, XO: As there was no reason for the Romulans to be here, I have ordered us to set course for the point they changed course and, and have engaged at Warp 6.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
CSO: Any signs of how much older the first trail is than the other one?

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CO, XO: Is there anything you'd like me to do?

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::cuts off the console's pinging at the anomaly:: CTO: Uh... one moment. I'm tracking the third trail...

Host CO_Winters says:
FCO: I will get into contact to see if the Romulans have any business in the sector.

CIV_LtJg_Kenji says:
::tabs some controls again, looking for clues::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CO: Understood. Shall I continue on course?

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::frowns, hearing the CSO and CIV::  CIV: What was that about Romulan space?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
Self: That's odd...  FCO: Better go to yellow alert for now Mr More...  we don't know what they are up too...

Host CO_Winters says:
FCO: Yes, it would be wise, in case the Romulans shouldn’t have been here.

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::frowns and speaks out loud::  *CO*: Ahkileez to the Captain.

Host CO_Winters says:
*CSO* Go ahead.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CO: Understood. I'll report back to the bridge.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::nods slightly and about turns, walking back out onto the bridge::

CIV_LtJg_Kenji says:
CNS: We are tracking a Romulan warp trail, it stopped here and returned to Romulan space in another direction

Host CO_Winters says:
::still waiting on Starfleet Command::

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
*CO*: Captain, the trails look like a drop-off. We have a third unaccounted trail heading inward from Romulan space. Pre-lim projections put it roughly on course for SB51.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Moves back to his station::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::walks over to the Command Area and looks out of the view at the viewer::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::nods at the CTO:: Thanks, Will.

Host Kevin says:
<SFC> COM: Scimitar ::incoming signal::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
*CO* Incoming hail.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
Ops: Source of incoming communication?

Host CO_Winters says:
*FCO* In my ready room

Ops_Ens_Daniels says:
::looks at the Comm. Console:: FCO: Starfleet Command, sir.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::looks at the CO::  CO: Let's hear what they have to say...  ::smiles::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
*CO*: Re-routing transmission now, sir. ::nods to Ops to do so::

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::frown deepens hearing the CSO mention Starbase 51:: self: I don't like this.

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::waits for some reply from Winters, but when he gets none, he starts working on a more refined scan::

Host CO_Winters says:
XO: Something useful I hope... :: looks to his view screen ::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CTO: Take us to Yellow Alert, Mr. Rogers.

Ops_Ens_Daniels says:
::Routes the transmission from line three to the ready room and returns Mores Nod::

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
FCO: Aye... ::Hits the yellow alert button and watches shield indicators light up::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::sits down in The Chair and pulls up a Status report::

Host CO_Winters says:
:: waits for the Starfleet emblem to change into a face ::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::looks at the comm. console as well, wondering what SF Command has to say about this::

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::starts pacing around the bridge, thinking and worrying::

CIV_LtJg_Kenji says:
FCO: Sir, the main warp trails, incoming and exiting are only a few moments apart.

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::frowns a bit:: CIV: Are you picking up any sign of a warpspeed distortion?

Host CO_Winters says:
:: sips his water ::

Host Kevin says:
<SFC> COM: Scimitar: Scimitar, you called?

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CIV: So there were two ships?

Host CO_Winters says:
Com: SFC: Yes, our sensors have detected Romulan warp trails in the area. We wanted to be certain the Romulans had business in the sector.

CIV_LtJg_Kenji says:
CSO: Checking now ::tabs some controls:: FCO: Not sure sir, the second trail seems to small for a ship ..perhaps a probe.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
CIV: So basically they came in, shot a probe, and left. A survey mission.

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::nods:: CIV: Maybe. I can't find a warpfield distortion for a few million clicks of here. It probably doesn't have warp drive.

Host Kevin says:
<SFC> Com: Scimitar: One moment... :: screen goes back to the Starfleet emblem for several seconds ::  Um Scimitar there is no, repeat no record of the Romulans or any other non federation race being given clearance for that sector, be advised.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::glances at the CO again::  CO: Seems like we just found our selves a job...

CIV_LtJg_Kenji says:
FCO: I can say that the two trails are not more then one hour and not less then 5 minutes apart.

Host CO_Winters says:
Com: SFC: Very well, the Scimitar has changed course toward the area the Romulans turned around to investigate.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CIV: Is the probe or the ship headed towards SB51?

Host Kevin says:
<SFC> Com: Scimitar: Acknowledged, you want us to send backup?

Ops_Ens_Daniels says:
CSO: Could be a sublight shuttle for all we know.

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::Quietly:: self: please no.

Host CO_Winters says:
Com: SFC: I don't think that is necessary at this time. They have done nothing to breach the peace agreements.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::nods at the CO::  CO: I'll head to the bridge then...

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::nods:: OPS: It could be. Whatever it is, it's got a four billion kilometre head start on us now.

Host Kevin says:
<SFC> Com: Scimitar: Acknowledged Scimitar, anything else you want to report?

Ops_Ens_Daniels says:
CSO: It's just the amount of power a cloak draws makes it very, very hard to integrate it into a probe. If it was successfully integrated the power generation requirements would be so high the cloak would probably have a very hard time masking the signature. We've already seen that a Romulan warbird going faster than warp 6 risks detection.

Host CO_Winters says:
Com: SFC: That is all I have so far.

CIV_LtJg_Kenji says:
FCO: Yes sir, the second trail is heading for SB 51. I also have some new data. The probe can also be a shuttle but no larger the that.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::heads out of the readyroom::  FCO: Report !

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Starts scanning for any tachyon's in the region::

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::frown deepens:: self: we'll she didn’t say I couldn't use my gifts. ::goes over to sit down in his chair to check on big sister::

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::nibbles at the edge of his lip:: OPS: If we track it going at full impulse, we should overtake whatever it is.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Prepares anti-romulan plans as he eyes the sensors::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
XO: We have found out that the second trail is heading for SB51. The ship was headed in the direction of Romulan space, and is most likely there now. I suggest we go to maximum impulse and try to catch the smaller ship/probe before it reaches Rampart Base

Ops_Ens_Daniels says:
CSO: Perhaps it would be worth looking for thermal deviations in the space-matter out there? It could turn something up.

Host CO_Winters says:
:: gets up from his desk and follows shortly behind the XO ::

CIV_LtJg_Kenji says:
::again starting to feel sick and runs of to sickbay::

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::hates all this science stuff:: OPS: Sure, why not.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::nods::  FCO: Make it so Mr More..

Ops_Ens_Daniels says:
CSO: Impulse, after all, throws out a lot of heat.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
All: We've got some very small tachyon bursts following the impulse trail. Where the impulse fades, the tachyons pick up, and vice versa.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::walks out of the Command area and takes his usual seat up front at the helm::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
XO: As ordered.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::lays in the course and engages::

Host CO_Winters says:
FCO: What’s new Mr. More

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
Self: Hhhmm..  ::turns to the CTO::  CTO: Cloaking device of some sort....?

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CO: Nothing much sir. I was just telling Commander Black that we have discerned that the larger warp trail, presumably from a war bird, leads back into romulan space.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
XO: They could have been testing a new cloaked probe.

Host CO_Winters says:
FCO: And a second?

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::gives up on contacting sis:: self: must be too far away or something.

Ops_Ens_Daniels says:
::Bites his lip as he thinks for a moment:: CSO: Is the impulse trail linear? Well, if you account for deviation due to gravitational disturbances?

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CO: The XO and I believe we should follow the smaller object that was launched from the ship, which was headed Towards SB51.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CO: I have set a course and engaged.

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::nods:: OPS: Roughly linear, yes. You're thinking of gravitational disturbances based on the QS romulan drive?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::nods::  CTO: Indeed... I don't like this...   CO: Captain...suggest we go Red Alert... sending a cloaked probe into Federation Space is definitely a violation of the current treaty...

Ops_Ens_Daniels says:
CSO: Oh, gosh no, I was thinking, a linear path suggests it is ballistic.

Host CO_Winters says:
XO: Agreed.

Ops_Ens_Daniels says:
CSO: If it weren't ballistic it would more than likely be making course corrections.

Host CO_Winters says:
CTO: Red Alert.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
CO: Aye. ::Hits the red alert button::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black (Alert.wav)

Host CO_Winters says:
FCO: Get us ahead of the smaller trail.

Ops_Ens_Daniels says:
::Brings PDS up to spec for red alert::

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::watches the unwavering path:: OPS: That might be incomplete reasoning. Even our least sophisticated probes can do course corrections on their own. And with a trail fifteen hours decayed, we couldn't tell it well enough with any accuracy.

Host CO_Winters says:
Ops: Notify 51 of a possible inbound attack.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::walks to his seat, looking at the viewscreen::  FCO: ETA to the suspected probe...?

Ops_Ens_Daniels says:
CSO: Of course, but it does 'suggest' the lack of a living-pilot, does it not?

Host CO_Winters says:
:: kind of pacing around the bridge ::

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::Watches the captain, kind of laughs realizing he was doing that earlier::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
XO: We are currently at it's exact speed, so we aren't gaining on it.

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::nods:: OPS: It does. And this weird... popping trail it's leaving seems incoherent.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Waiting to be taken to the thing to blow up::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
FCO: Increase to warp then, Mr More, we want to overtake it before it arrives at SB 51...

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
XO: Understood

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
CO: Warping while at red alert isn't exactly the most power efficient thing to do.

Host CO_Winters says:
CTO: Full scans of the area. I want some options when we do overtake this thing.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
All: Maximum warp initiated.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::eats another cookie quickly, and wonder who put them outside his quarters::

Ops_Ens_Daniels says:
::Frowns:: CSO: Indeed. ::Boots a wee bit of power to the warp engines for warp field stability::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::sits back in his seat::  FCO: Make this look good, Mr More..  ::smiles faintly::

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Starts scanning the area with LRS, even though he won't have any options until he can know what he's shooting at::

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::sees the FCO eating cookies out of the corner or his eye:: FCO: Got and admirer, Commander?

Host CO_Winters says:
CTO: No but sneaking up on an unknown object is not the most tactically minded option either.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CNS: No clue. They appeared outside of my Quarters.......... Captain Kalla will not be amused.

Host CO_Winters says:
CSO: As we get closer, are your sensors collecting any more information on our mysterious object?
