Summary - The U.S.S. Scimitar has been assigned a search and rescue operation within the quarantined Keh'lin Nebula. Reports from Starfleet suggest that the U.S.S. Eridanus may have drifted into the nebula.

Scans of the Eridanus show that she is heavily damaged, without life support and slipping fast. Four months ago it was the Scimitar crew who were adrift without hope. Now it is their time to be the saviors...

Day 420 has begun - four-hundred and twenty days ago, the U.S.S. Scimitar entered a nebula, similar to that of Keh'lin. It was there that their adventure began. It is here that it will all become clear...

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
:Still sitting in his chair on the bridge, watching the viewscreen::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::On the bridge, conducting sensor sweeps on the nebula::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Pacing in his office with a padd in his hand, containing the detailed report of the autopsy::
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::readying the Type IV probe for firing into the nebula, humming a quiet tune as he does::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::sitting at her console pulling little bits of power from all the unnecessary systems::
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - On the viewscreen, the crew can see the glowing purple mass of the Keh'lin Nebula. The gaseous cloud expands about 2 light-years in each direction...as massive purple cloud of hydrogen gas.
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
SO: Report.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
XO: We're scanning the nebula sir. Nothing to see so far.
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
SO: Thank you.  Let me know the moment you see anything of note.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
XO: Aye sir
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::looking at the nebula glad he's off that listening post::
Host CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::gets up from the chair in her readyroom shakes her head and sighs::
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - Deep within the Keh'lin Nebula, sensors detect a massive energy signature, the pulsing, burning force known as the Keh'lin Star.
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Sits down and gets up again, reading the padd thoroughly over again, see if he missed something::
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
:;frowns to himself and sighs as he looks up:: XO: I'm ready to launch the probe, Commander
Host CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::composes herself and heads back out the doors onto the bridge::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Wandering around sickbay, checking up on a few patients::
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CSO: Go Ahead, Lieutenant.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::nods and fires off the long-range type IV, watching it's decent towards the nebula on his sensors::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
XO: Sir, we're picking up an energy signature of the star itself. I’ll try to get as much data about that as possible, but the probe will probably give us more information
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - Estimated time of arrive to the edge of the Keh'lin Nebula, ten minutes.
Host CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::does a double take on the new Exeter before turning to the XO:: XO: Report please? ::her view turns to the nice display on the viewscreen::
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
SO: Thank you; relay a summary to my console.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::smiles to himself as the probe starts to send back it's telemetry::
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CO: We are scanning the Keh'lin Star, and about to launch the probe Sir.  Nothing else of importance to report.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
XO: aye sir ::Makes up a summary of the sensor findings and sends it to the XO's console.::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::When he finished reading the report he gets up, walks out of the office and heads over to Kerak:: MO: Kerak, can I have a word with you?
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::scans the SO's report quickly::
Host CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
XO: Any location on the Eridanus?
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
CO: Captain, the probe is picking up large gravimetric sheering inside the nebula. Anything inside is going to have a rough ride
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CO: Unfortunately not, Captain.
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Looks up and nods::
Host CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CSO: The type of rough we can manage it or rough as in shields won't hold us together? And if not how long can we stay in there for?
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Recalibrates sensors to scan on different bands and performs a deep scan of the nebula::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Shows him the padd and points out to a the part about the blood born virus:: MO: I understand that you have quite some experience with viruses. According to the report, this is what caused the pilot to overheat and die. Is it something we should worry about?
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::Checking his sensors, wondering where the action is staying.::
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
CO: We could last an hour...two at tops. The Eridanus even less... :;frowns again::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
CSO: Picking up a lot of radiation sir, determining types now ::Starts determining what types of radiation::
Host CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::nods to the XO:: XO: Perhaps this will be like looking for a needle in a haystack. ::looks to the CSO:: CSO: What was the last exact location of the Eridanus provided on the reports from Haydes?
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::He takes the PADD and examines it closely:: CMO: I recognise this, but... no, I can't place it. Bah, this is going to bother me for ages.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::listens carefully shaking her head and frowning wondering how the hell they're retrieve Xia::
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CO: If that's the analogy you want to use, we need a magnet of some sort.
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
:;shakes head:: self: we got two runabouts, just send those let them lock on with their tractor and drag the ship away from the sun.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
CSO: Sir, I’m getting lots of Delta and Theta radiation readings
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
CO: About 10,000 KM within the nebula. It's not showing up on sensors, I think that perhaps the gravimetric waves pushed it about once it had become...incapacitated
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
CSO: I would say that's unusual for this type of nebula
Host CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::nods at the CSO and turns to the XO:: XO: It would be useful.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
SO: Dreamscapes, Ensign. There are Dreamscapes in that nebula ::says it matter of factly, continuing with his scans::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Nods:: MO: I know, but could it be harmful for us? My experience told me that this can only be transferred by blood to blood contact. Just to be sure, you did wear gloves, right?
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
CSO: I know sir, i know. That’s why they quarantined this place. Perhaps there's a hole to their dimension here?
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::raises an eyebrow:; self: dreamscapes?
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CO: And, just to add to our complications, we need to defend against the dreamscapes as well.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
SO: The USS Nighthawk encountered them here. It may have been the first recorded encounter with the species.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
CO: Ma'am, we're not getting a thing on any of the comm channels ::taps her ways through everything she can think of:: not even background
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
CSO: I'm aware of that sir. I’m trying to pinpoint the origin of these readings ::looks and fiddles with scanners to try and locate the radiation origin::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
CMO: Aye, I've had enough bad experiences with virus' to learn that lesson
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - ...in stark contrast to the Airilius system on the other side of the sector, Keh'lin is dead. Desolate. Empty. No sounds, no activity...nothing...
Host CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::nods and turns to the viewscreen and then to the FCO:: All: we have no choice but to go in if we want to get the Eridanus out.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::over her shoulder:: CSO: Rowan please, I don't even want to hear the word dreamscapes until I've got one three feet in front of me...couldn't it be something else?
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
CO: I beg to differ, cap'n ::as he looks at the nebula::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
CO: Ma'am, might i suggest we get ourselves ready for that? a side arm for all the crew for instance
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
Out loud: I don't like this place...  it feels like a graveyard.
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - Sensor telemetry comes in from the probe...the computer registers a Starfleet transponder signal. However before the exact location can be determined, the probe stops transmitting.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::shakes his head sadly:: OPS: I'm sorry, dear. This is where they were first encountered...Theta radiation is almost off the scale. There are Dreamscapes here
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CSO: Anything from the probe yet?
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
CSO: Sir, the probe was destroyed. It did register a Starfleet transponder signal. I'm not sure if it was destroyed by the forces or by Dreamscapes.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::frowns as his probe stops transmitting:: CO: Commander, I received a Starfleet transponder. Not enough time to pinpoint an exact location or who's it was, but I’m guessing it's the Eridanus. At least the ship is still in one piece
Host CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
SO: Certainly. Please arrange for that.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::shudders uncontrollably and pulls up internal sensors bringing up Bryn's life sign and leaving it running behind everything else she’s doing::
Host CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
XO: Lets hoe it is not a graveyard in which the Eridanus is to be lost. ::looks quite certain she wants Xia back::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
CSO: Might i suggest we send 3 probes out simultaneously? we could triangulate to make up for the short existence of them
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
XO: As long as it's not a graveyard for any more Starfleet personnel, I’ll be happy.
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Nods again smiles a bit:: MO: So I've heard. But as you can read in the report, it's what caused the pilot to go into shock and die. I wonder if we can prevent this from happening again. If we ever capture one of them again of course.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
SO: That may work, Ensign. I'll ready the probes, you tell me where to fire them. ::gets to work readying another three Type IVs::
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::turns his attention:: XO/CO: I strongly suggest we don't send in the Scimitar, but use the assets we have, sirs ::showing the well know Exeter trait ....arrogance::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
CO: Aye ma'am. ::Makes contact with the armory:: Armory: This is SO Pierce. Please start distributing weapons to the crew
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::He is still examining the PADD:: CMO: Do you notice how... perfect, this virus seems. It doesn’t look natural...
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
<armory>SO: Aye sir. We’ll start distributing as soon as possible.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
CO: Ma'am, might i suggest we go to red alert just in case?
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Looks over the shoulder of Kerak:: MO: Perfect? You mean this might as well have been genetically engineered?
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CO: I would suggest yellow alert.  Keeping the crew at red alert for too long dampens their edge.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
CSO: yes sir, I’ll send you the locations now ::sends the 3 optimal locations for a triangulation to the CSO’s console::
Host CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::nods looking a bit perplexed:: XO: Of course though traveling through these areas at times of war one would imagine we have been at yellow alert?
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
CMO: Yes... much like the Airilius Incursion...
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CO: You guessed it.  ::smiles at the CO::
Host CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
XO: Thank you.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::nods as he receives the locations:: CO: Captain, I’ve got three more probes ready to launch. Hopefully we can triangulate the position of the Eridanus
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::sits back and starts whistling a tune ::self: hmm, got a day off
CEO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: moves back and forth between assembled teams in the transporter room.. Making sure that they are geared up and prepared to go at a moments notice. ::
Host CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
OPS: Keep trying, hopefully the probes may be able to boost any signals we find. ::nods to the CSO:: CSO: Excellent, lets try and find her location as soon as possible.
CIV_Capt_Black says:
::on his way to the bridge with Lt. Majors beside him::
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::nods and fires out the three probes::
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::stands up and locks out his console, and heads for the TL:: Self: look like I won't be needed
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::quickly brings up their telemetry and targets the rough location of the transponder hoping to get a lock::
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CO: Did you authorise Mr. Exeter to leave?
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::nods pulling up the comms and shunting a little more power into the system trying to boost the signal::
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - The Scimitar crew detects a transponder signal a few minutes into the nebula - it seems as if it's the Eridanus, caught within one of the radiation belts.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Keeps a constant eye on the probes, their exact locations and their signal strengths::
Host CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
FCO: It would be nice not to go in, however we may still have to tow her out of there somehow, if she is unstable we will at least have to get her crew. ::turns to the XO shakes her head looks back to the FCO:: FCO: So we will need you here.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
CO: Commander, I’ve got the Eridanus. She's caught in one of the radiation belts within the Nebula
CEO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: Once he is satisfied he taps his commbadge :: *CO*: Captain, this is Chief Kamarov, I have Ready Response Teams ready to go down in the transporter room in case the Eridanus needs repair work.
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Looks up from the PADD:: MO: That doesn't sound to hopeful. Do you think we have to inform the commander about this?
CIV_Capt_Black says:
::as the TL stops he steps out of the TL and glances at Majors following him::  Majors: Any new information on the situation at hand?
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
*CEO*: Thank you Mr. Kamarov.  I will keep you informed. Lessing out.
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
CO: We got two runabouts that would be a better choice then sending in this ship, ma'am
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
CMO: Aye, best to be safe...
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
<Armory>SO: Sir, we've distributed side arms to all personnel.
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
::He walks alongside Black and holds out a PADD containing information on Keh'lin - it appears the ship that the Nighthawk was searching for two years ago was the U.S.S. Aventura...::
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
FCO: The Runabouts would last four minutes, Ensign. Where did you learn about shield mechanics and stress levels?
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::frowns down at the Helm console::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Nods:: MO: Right. I'll report this. Would you like to run some tests on the virus, to learn more about it?
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
CSO: If you do your job we can do this thing in two minutes and be bloody done, lieutenant
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::continues with the frowning:: FCO: I'm doing my job, Ensign. Why don't you do yours and begins charting a course through the nebula's gravimetric streams.
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
ACTION - The Scimitar rocks slightly as the gravimetric sheer presses against the hull - inertial dampeners compensate.
CEO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: does a final briefing with all of the team leaders before leaving the Transporter Room, walking quickly to the TR, traveling quickly to the bridge. ::
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
CSO: And sign my and this ship death warrant. ::altering the course as he walks back to his console::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::reels slightly as the ship moves and turns a little green:: FCO: Ensign, we would all do better if you would concentrate on flying rather then fighting
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
FCO: Just sit in your chair, Ensign. ::mutters and continues to monitor the gravimetric sheers, transmitting the data down to the helm::
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
FCO: Mr. Exeter, see me after your duty shift.
CIV_Capt_Black says:
::takes the PADD from Majors and nods::  Majors: I'm beginning to see some similarities here, Lieutenant... let's hope we are more successful then history has showed us...
CEO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: steps out of the TL and grins as he walks over to the Engineering Station. :: ALL: Have no fear, Kamarov is here.
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
CMO: Yes sir, I'll set up some computer simulations.
Host CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::turns to the back of the bridge nodding with a smile, it seems like too long since Black has been up here:: CIV: Captain Black. You may be interested in this sir, the CSO has located the Eridanus.
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
:;takes his seat:; CSO: if you did your bloody job I could have project a good course. Get some extra hull plating from the Shuttles and sent those runabouts in and out, lieutenant
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
CIV: Immensely more successful. The Aventura was conducting field tests, when the Nighthawk located her.
Host CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
CSO: As soon as you can find out about her crew and current condition please do so. :;smiles looking between the FCO and CSO::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::starts triangulating to get an exact fix on the Eridanus. he also monitors radiation levels to see if there is anything unusual::
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::growls under his breath:: FCO: Shut up, Ensign. ::turns as Kamarov enters the bridge:: CEO: The inertial dampers are taking a beating, and it's going to get worse. I've got the gravimetric matrix plotted for our course, see if you can manually adjust the damping levels to match it and provide a smoother ride.
CIV_Capt_Black says:
::smiles and returns the nod::  CO: Excellent...  any abnormalities so far...?
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::nods back down at the CO and aims his sensors towards the location of the Eridanus::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::puts together a short message and sends it off to the science console "Rowan, I can overload his console if he doesn't shut up, just say the word"::
CIV_Capt_Black says:
::nods at Majors::  Majors: I guessed as much.... ::dampens his voice::  I thought the entire Nighthawk mission was scrapped from the "books" ?
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
MO: Good. I'll send the report through to her and inform her of our findings. ::Walks back to his office to send the report::
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::chuckles:: self: hmmmm, he's fun ::alters his course a bit::
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::smiles as the message pops up on his screen, replying "Thank you, Brenna. A better idea would be to make sure he doesn't have bridge shifts during critical moments"::
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
::He moves in closer to Black, his voice getting softer:: CIV: Records remain aboard the Aventura however...
Host CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::nods at him with a questioning look as if she is wondering what he knows:: CIV: There is ever sign of dreamscape presence and we have a limited time in here before our shields will begin to fail us.
Host CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::adds as an after thought and out of courtesy again:: CIV: Sir.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::replies quickly "yeah well, annoying as they can be Exeter’s are good flyers, it would be easier to just gag him before each shift"::
CEO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: gets to work at his console immediately, bringing up the schematics for both the inertial dampers and the matrix...:: CSO: I'm on it, Sir.  I believe I can reinforce the strength of the integrity field by switching the covalence frequencies .. try to find a reciprocating Gamma value that will cancel out the nebula's effect.
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Hums a tune and wanders over to a computer::
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::just sits in his chair, reading all the reports flowing into his console::
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::nods and smiles over to the Engineering console:: CEO: Working on it, Chief. ::runs through various energy pulses to match the right gamma value before transmitting it over to Kamarov's console::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Starts working on recalibrating the tractor beam and the transporter beams to maximize their efficiency in the nebula::
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::smiles and winks at the OPS, then looks at how the hull at the nacelles are holding:: 
CEO_Ens_Kamarov says:
CO: Captain, may I ask what speed your currently at, ma'am?
CIV_Capt_Black says:
::nods::  CO: Sounds like a quick operation then, Commander...   ::waits for a next comment, glancing at Majors and adding::   Majors: Then you better beam over first when we find her and secure those data before they fall in the wrong hands...
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::After sending the report to the commander, he gets up again, walks out of his office and prepares the unused biobeds to receive possible casualties from the Eridanus, as they arrive::
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
ACTION - The Scimitar glides gracefully through the purple haze, tearing through the Keh'lin Nebula. On the bridge, a steady pulse plays over the comm system as the comm systems pick up the Eridanus transponder signal.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Uneasy with the presence of Dreamscapes he rechecks his sensors for anything more unusual::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::furrows her brow and stretches so her rings glint in the lights of the bridge::
Host CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
CEO: Impulse was my instruction to the FCO as his fastest speed.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
CO: Captain, the Eridanus has about 10 minutes until her hull buckles. If we initiate a tractor, we can pull her out...but the stress will pull that time down
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
FCO: Steady as she goes, Ensign.
Host CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
FCO/CSO: How quickly can we get to her and get her out with a tractor beam?
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
CO: depends if the CSO will ever find her, ma'am. ::grins:: XO: I'll keep her in one part, commander
Host CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
OPS: Will the transporters functions correctly in here?
CEO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: seems to think about this :: CO: Captain...If you can bring down impulse speed to three quarters...I can use the spare energy to properly spread the tractor beam out and have it act as a integrity field about the Eridanus...thereby keeping her in one piece.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
CO: About five minutes to reach her, Commander, and then another 8 to pull her out of the Nebula
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
CO: we could board her with a skeleton crew and fly her out, the Scimitar could leave the nebula while the skeleton made her fly worthy, ma'am
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
CO: They will if I treat them right, let me see what I can do ::Brings up transporter controls and starts testing different configurations::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
CEO: Sir, you think it's possible to use the tractor beam to extend some kind of force field around the Eridanus?
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
FCO: How are the Eridanus' shields?
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::checks the sensors:: XO: checking, sir
CEO_Ens_Kamarov says:
SO: Not quite a shield...but more like a brace...something to hold her together while we're pulling her.
Host CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
CSO/CEO: Does she have enough of her own power to get out of here with our help?
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::grumbles quietly to the console:: Self: Come on, you can do this, heavy Theta radiation...maybe we could run the beam along  signal...hmmm...
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
CEO: anything to extend her life while we're pulling her out.
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Sits down and busies himself by setting up a simulation of sorts::
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
::He looks to Black and nods:: CIV: Permission to prepare an away team over to the Eridanus, sir?
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
CO: Commander, she's dead in the water. I'm surprised she has lasted this long
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
XO: Shields offline, hull at 35%
Host CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::nods thoughtfully, turning back to OPS::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
CO: Ma'am, I think we can use transporters, but not until they're out of the radiation
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
CEO: If we use the tractor beam at half the power we could use the extra power to envelop the Eridanus, therefore holding her together
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::thinks a second:: FCO/CO: In my opinion, an away team should be considered only as a last resort.  With their shields down, they have very little protection against any hostile activity.
CIV_Capt_Black says:
::nods::  Majors: Permission granted.
CEO_Ens_Kamarov says:
SO: Exactly....CO: From what I see on board, the Eridanus has about enough power to pop a bag of popcorn, Captain.
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
XO: We got the Scimitar for that. if we get a  repair team in engineering and just get impulse and flight sensors online I can get her out.
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Makes the final preparation to sickbay and orders some of the MO's to be prepared for what to expect. Finally he heads over to Kerak to check up on him:: MO: Well, any luck thus far Kerak?
Host CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::after hearing OPS' last comment adds:: XO: We are unable to get an away team to her until we get her out of the radiation belt.
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
::Nods and is glad that Black didn't go to Janan for permission to send a team. Majors taps his comm badge and begins selecting Starfleet Intel officers for his team:: CEO: Ensign...I could use a few experienced Engineers...
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Starts working on the tractor beam, reducing it's power but making sure it will hold the Eridanus together::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
CMO: Nope, could take a while.
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
ACTION - The viewscreen shifts, and the viewer displays the battered U.S.S. Eridanus, adrift amidst purple and mauve clouds...
CEO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: looks over to Majors and gives him a flat glare. :: Majors: My teams are ready to go in Transporter Room 2.  They already know what needs to be done.  You can join them if you like.
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CIV: Captain Black, please bear in mind that we are unable to transport through this radiation.
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Feeling kind of useless he looks at the equipment and back to Kerak:: MO: Anything I can do to help?
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
OPS: Are we in tractor range?
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
XO: Sir, we could use the shuttles
CIV_Capt_Black says:
::nods at the CO::  CO: Thank you for the reminder, Commander...  ::nods at Majors to get moving::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
CMO: Nope, the computer does most of the work
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
OPS: Engage tractor beam.  FCO: Reverse course.
CEO_Ens_Kamarov says:
SO: Shuttles would not last long enough to do much good Ens. Pierce.  In my opinion the best bet is the adjusted tractor beam.
Host CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
SO/CEO: How long until you manage to give her some reinforcement and we can tow her? ::nods back to the CIV with a small smile that teams were ready at least::
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
ACTION - As the Scimitar approaches the Eridanus; sensors read a massive increase in radiation levels. Shields compensate, and the crew is shielded from the radiation's effects...so far.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
XO: Hard to say in all this without attempting sir ::turns to Kamarov:: CEO: Think you can hit her from here?
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
CEO: Not for towing Kamarov, for getting the away team son board fast
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
XO: Aye plotting course, sir ::set on new course heading:: 
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::turns as an alert goes off on her console:: CO/XO: We're good for tractor and transporters, shall i give it a try?
CEO_Ens_Kamarov says:
CO: If you allow me to take the phasers off line and use the power to strengthen the torque factors....I can do it.
CEO_Ens_Kamarov says:
OPS: I can do anything...you forget.. I'm a Kamarov. :: gives her a grin. ::
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
::Majors nods and heads off to transport room 2 - prepping himself and his own staff::
Host CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::nods to OPS::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::laughs softly and pulls up transporter controls again trying to pick out targets on the Eridanus::
Host CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
OPS: Please as we do not have time on our side.
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CO/CEO: I would not recommend taking weapons off line.  we have no idea what's in here.
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::As he can't help Kerak, he turns around and heads back to sickbay to check on the other MO's::
CEO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: modifies the tractor beams with the available power at hand.. trying to use the force beam to support as well as pull the Eridanus towards them. ::
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
ACTION - The Scimitar rocks slightly and radiation levels increase. The Eridanus' hull will collapse in two minutes if they stay in the belt...
CIV_Capt_Black says:
::quietly observes the bridge crew, hoping that the Eridanus crew will be all right::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::aims her targeting for the Eridanus' bridge trying to find life signs::
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Silently watches their slow progress out of the belt:: FCO: Can we go faster, or will that cause the Eridanus to crumple?
CEO_Ens_Kamarov says:
XO: modifying the beam to the best of my ability, sir.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
CSO: Commander, two minutes until the Eridanus is destroyed
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::checks the Eridanus hull:: XO: we got two minutes, suggest you better tractor that puppy.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
FCO: Time till we get out of the belt? The Eridanus will only hold out for 2 minutes
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::hits her console and swears loudly:: CO: Ma'am, I can see them, but we can't bring them onboard until that ship is out of here
CEO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: finishes the final computation and engages the new beam schematic. :: XO: Tractor beam ready, sir!
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
SO: Just give me the fastest route :;grins:: All: This might get a bit bumpy.
CEO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: wipes his brow and tosses a nod to the CSO :: CSO: Thanks for the number crunching, Lieutenant.
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CEO: Seeing as I asked for it ten minutes ago, engage.  FCO: Get us out of here.
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Starts running some simulations, he simulates various anti-virus's attacking the virus and notes the effects::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Calculates the shortest route out of the nebula, at least avoiding the roughest parts::
CEO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: engages the tractor beam. ::
Host CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
OPS: Thank you, our team is now over there?
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Sends the route calculations to the FCO:: FCO: Tractor engaged, step on it
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
CO: No ma'am, and if I tried now they might be scattered we have to get out of the radiation
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
ACTION - The blue tractor beam engages, covering the saucer of the Eridanus and ripping her out of the radiation belt. At that moment Lieutenant Brody Majors and his away team beam over...
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::set in the new course and engages at the Max speed he has:: OPS: Divert power from TIC to impulse if possible.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Keeps a close eye on the Eridanus as they start moving out of the nebula.. this is cutting it close...::
XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Watches the viewscreen clear as they emerge from the belt.  He begins to breathe a bit again::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::nods and diverts the power quickly readying more in case it's needed::
CEO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: stands up and looks over to the Captain. :: CO: Permission to join the repair teams, Captain.  That ship can use every swinging wrench they can get. :: mutter to himself :: Self: And I don't trust Majors one bit.
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::checks his sensors:: Self: I hate these kinds of mission.
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
ACTION - The ride gets a lot bumpier, and members of the crew find themselves holding onto their seats as both ships fly through the purple haze. At the same moment, sheets of the Eridanus hull plating begin to rip off...as the ship starts to tear itself apart.

...the Eridanus and Scimitar tear out of the nebula...gas surrounding them...and silence returns...
