USS Scimitar Summary - SD 10701.15 - "Into the Void" Episode 1 - Out of the frying pan....  The Scimitar has made it back to the Badlands and found an Iconian Gateway.

The CEO LtCmdr Jonathan Rome has been whisked away to Arcadia Station and the Scimitar has new orders.

Starfleet Command has lost contact with the USS Tal-War and it is the Scimitars job to find them.

Where could an entire star ship have disappeared to??

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Begin Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::At Science 1, looking at the sensor readings, trying to see if the Tal-War did indeed go through the gateway...There's no way knowing where that things leads to...How did this thing actually get here? Was it really able to evade Starfleet detection for so long? This is definitely a leap of faith... Which I’m in pretty short supply::
CMO LtJG Numark says:
:: gathers the medical crew together for briefing::
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
::strolls through the hallway, winking at the cute women passing him as he moves to the TL::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Sitting in the big chair in the centre of the bridge, overlooking all activities.::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::in his Ready Room drinking a nice steaming cup of tea::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::at OPS station on the bridge, checking power and systems are flowing efficiently::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::at the conn, flying the ship towards the last known co-ordinates of the Tal-War::
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
TL: Bridge!
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::taps his badge:: *XO*: Zoran, can I see you in my ready room a minute?
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
::checks his duffel bag once more to check for his orders, then zips it closed again::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
::running training simulations with the ships fighter wing::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Looks around, then taps his COM badge.:: *CO*: I'll be right there. He stands up and looks towards the CSO.:: CSO: Commander, you have the bridge. I'll be in the ready room with the captain for a bit.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::switches on the view screen::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::on the bridge, running a new set of scans on the gate and the region of space::  Self: Let's see what we got here...
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
::enters the Bridge and takes a step forward, looking over the luxurious layout::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
*CO*: Sir, the trail leads right into the gateway. No sign of it going anywhere else. Looking through the gateway it seems pretty random. I'm not sure if this is a steady gate sir. I'll try to get more information
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::nods at the CSO and smiles faintly as he walks into the ready room.::
CMO LtJG Numark says:
:: begins to brief the crew and tells them to expect casualties::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
XO: Have a seat Zoran.
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
::walks towards the Tactical station in a steady manner, giving everything a look over, not talking to anyone::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
CO: Sure. ::Sitting down.:: Anything you wanted to know from me?
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
::walks around the Bridge, then heads to the Captain's Ready room::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CSO: All systems running efficiently, Sir.
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
::stops by the OPS officer and grins at him:: OPS: Feeling blue, sir ?
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Nods at OPS:: OPS: Which is pretty amazing considering what she's been through.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
XO: Actually... more something you want to know from me.
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
::raises his eyebrows grinning, then turns around and faces the RR and rings the chime a few times in a musical manner::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::growls loudly:: TO: I'll make sure I assign you the right quarters..
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Frowns:: CO: Me from you? I err... I wasn't aware I asked something... What has happened to me down there in sickbay?
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CSO: Yes, I am amazed considering we don't even have a CEO
CO Capt MacAllister says:
XO: Not much, it's more what happened to the rest of the senior staff. ::grins::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::wants to play the consoles::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Tilts his head.:: CO: Okay... go on. ::Leans a bit forward::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::starts playing his console::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::but decides not to, because he's on duty::
CMO LtJG Numark says:
:: finishes briefing the crew and heads to stock sickbay ::
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
::stands there restless, then rings the chime again, playing the 'Ode to joy'...knowing Mac hates that song::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::grabs a box from the drawer under his desk and slides in across the desk:: XO: By order of Starfleet Command, I hereby award you with the Purple Heart for injuries sustained in the line of duty.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::jabs at his desk console to mute the chime::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::stops playing, not his type of thing::
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
::grins from ear to ear, waiting for that old bastard to open up::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
TO: Maybe you should wait a while, he's obviously busy
CO Capt MacAllister says:
XO: Remind me to change the chime on my door.
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
::impressed with the responses in training Esjam orders fighters to ready for launch:
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
OPS: Shush, I'm busy sir.
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Frowns again.:: CO: Thank you... Ethan. I never had hoped to receive a Purple Heart actually. That is with me having been the CMO here for so long. ::Reaches for the box.:: And I will Ethan. ::Grins.::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::turns off controls on a non-essential part of his console and turns down the volume a bit and starts playing a simple melody::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
XO: That's about it... I think someone else is trying to get in.
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
CSO: Tactical sensors show nothing out of the ordinary... for now that this...
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::nods:: CO: Want me to leave you?
CO Capt MacAllister says:
XO: Well someone's got to keep the FCO from playing the consoles...
OPS Lt Idrani says:
TO: Speak respectfully to higher ranking officers!
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::chuckles:: CO: Understood... Sir! ::grins::
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
OPS: Oh yes, sorry sir. ::smiles, then turns his attention back to the door::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CTO: Except the gateway itself. Looks like we really have to enter that. I'm going to try and figure out if there's a pattern ::Turns to his console and sees the sensor readings:: *CO*: Sir, we have shadowy beings coming out the gateway
CO Capt MacAllister says:
XO: Oh, one more thing before you leave...
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Turns around.:: CO: Yes Ethan?
CO Capt MacAllister says:
*CSO*: Commander Abmeraz will be out shortly.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::plays the console with one hand while monitoring the navigational sensors and adjusting course with the other hand::
CMO LtJG Numark says:
:: hands the restocking to one of the other MO's and heads into her office to finish up reports ::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::He scans the shadows, trying to get more information::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
XO: Let me see that half pip you have on your collar... give it here.
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
CSO: Tactical sensors cannot make heads or tails out of these ghost like figures.... anything more specific on your sensor pallet ?
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::decides he doesn't like the new TO, considering him to be too narcissistic and egotistical::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Feeling a little awkward as he takes it off.:: CO: Something wrong with it? I polished it this morning.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::hold his hand out for the pip::
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
::starts wearing the carpet out, not loving the idea of standing there like some statue::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Looks at it one more time before dropping it into the CO's hand.:: CO: Since when did you start to be so picky about shining pips anyway?
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CTO: It seems like those beings are headed in Cardassian space.
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
*CSO* We are preparing to launch fighters on a training mission, requesting clearance
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::tries to ignore the TO's pacing and concentrate on his work::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
Self: Hhhmmm....  CSO: Weird... as long as they head towards Cardassia, I’m fine with it...  ::grins softly::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::stops playing the console and restores the access to it because they are almost at the designated co-ordinates::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
XO: Since they were the wrong type of pip... ::puts the half pip in his drawer and pulls out a shiny full pip:: Here, try this one. ::Hands the pip to Zoran::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::hears the CIV and checks the schedules/power output and nods to the CSO::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::With a loss for words he accepts the pip, and looks down at the pip.:: CO: ....
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
*CIV*: You are not cleared. Be advised that there are unidentified entities coming out of the gateway. I want to know more about what they want before sending out fighters
CO Capt MacAllister says:
XO: You have a bridge to attend to Commander. ::stands and salutes::
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
::yawns, and leans against the bulkhead::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
*CSO* Understood, fighters on standby
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
Self: They should have a waiting room for those Skip's.
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Clumsily attaches his new shiny pip and returns the salute.:: CO: Yes SIR!... ::He smiles for a moment.:: Thanks for the confidence Ethan.. I won't let you down... I promise
CO Capt MacAllister says:
XO: Now away with you... I want to see who's been wearing out my chime button. ::grins::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::adjusts course not to get too close to the plasma flares::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::After looking at the sensor readings he says:: CTO: It seems there is a pattern. If we can figure out the frequency and get a still from each exit we should be able to figure out where they are headed.. If we get the time for that.
XO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
::chuckles:: CO: Yes sir. ::Turns and leaves, feeling his head glow from excitement.::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
TO: Stand straight!
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
::snaps to attention::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::nods::  CSO: True... we might have to head in there and shut the door before we get more visitors...
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::sits back at his desk with a fresh cup o tea:: Door: Enter! ::reads the PADD on his desk::
XO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
::Walks out of the ready room and sees the new TO.:: TO: Hey there son. The captain wants to see you.
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
::nods to the Commander, then steps in to the Ready room and snaps to attention::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CTO: I hope that we are able to control it. This gives us tremendous possibilities.. Instant travel..
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
CO: Il mio capitano!
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
::spreads his arms wide grinning::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
CSO: Correct... have you been able to tap into the gate control module?  ::glances at the gate on the view screen::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::without looking up although the voice sounds familiar:: TO: You'd better have a damned good reason for being so impatient.
XO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
::Moves towards the middle of the bridge again.::
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
::unzips his bag grinning, then retrieves a bottle of spiced rum and places it on Mac's desk with a loud 'thump' ::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CTO: Not yet. I wanted to observe for now, but be my guest ::smiles::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::enjoys being the FCO with a flight console spreading 180 degrees around::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::looks at the bottle and pauses before looking slowly up the arm attached to it, across the shoulder and up to the grinning face:: TO: Tony?
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
::leans in over the table:: CO: Hey Mac.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::continues the latest reports and assigns the TO the worst available quarters::
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
CO: In the flesh.
XO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
CSO: Anything interesting happened while I was away? ::Straightens his suit.::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
TO: What the hell are you doing here?
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::grins::  CSO: All Righty... let's see if we can get this thing to work for us...  ::scans the gate again with the tactical sensors and locating the control console::
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
CO: you know Mac...I was in the neighbourhood...and I thought, hey...maybe ol' Mac would like to shoot some pool.
CMO LtJG Numark says:
:: puts the PADD down and picks up another one::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::puts down the PADD:: TO: I see you've brought the bottle you owed me. ::grins:: How did you manage to get assigned to the Scimitar?

ACTION:  Accessing the control box causes the images to change the way they cycle.

CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Looks at the sensors and tries to get a still from every location shown. Using the background he uses the computer to determine the location:: *CIV*: Can you send out an experienced wing to follow the shadows for a while? Maybe they can get some more information we can't
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::tries not to get the ship collided with the plasma flares:: Self: I hate the Badlands.
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
*CSO* Can do, I'll go myself
XO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
::Moves over to the CSO, wondering what he is working on that he apparently didn't hear him asking him how things are on the bridge.:: CSO: Anything I need to know? ::Smiles::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::frowns at the change in the gate's output::  Self: Weird....
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
CO: Yeah well...I plan to win it back! And as to that...well I grew tired of teaching those silly young cadets, they fight like a single cell organism! So I decided I'd look up the best Cap' in the fleet.
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
::calls Ensign Vorak to suit up and heads towards a fighter::
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
::grins, and moves around the chair and sits down in the chair opposite Mac::

ACTION:  The Scimitar is now on the very close to the plasma flares, any further and the ship will be in the middle of the field of plasma flares.

FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::commences full stop and reverts course::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::moves the ship backwards at 0.1 impulse::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::checks the effect the plasma flares had on the ship::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
TO: Well as long as you don't get up to your old tricks and start blowing up my fighters you'll be fine. ::laughs::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
*CSO* Bridge, request clearance for launch
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
FCO: Hold your position here, I don't want to end up IN the flares ::smiles:: XO: Well, now that you mention it: There have emerged shadow things from the gateway. No more information available. I sent out a fighter wing to get some more info
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
CO: Excuse me!
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
CO: As I remember it, you couldn't handle the G's.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::sighs and talks to the CSO without turning into his direction:: CSO: Don't state the obvious, I'm trying to keep out of those flares.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::diverts power to the engines, just in case::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
TO: I was just fine with the G's it was Portland that had a problem with them.
XO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
::nods:: CSO: Very well. ::Turns around towards the view screen.:: Give the CIV clearance for the launch of the fighters then.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::smiles:: FCO: Sorry, I’m still a bit jumpy. *CIV*: You are cleared.
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
CO: Yeah, well stop blaming me for everything in your life Mac, remember...you owe me. You would never have met Priscilla if it weren't for me. ::pulls his chin up::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::sees the feed back coming from the control box on the gate and runs that through the computer for analysis::  CSO: Commander, I have feed back coming from the control box on the gate...  I'm running it through the computer now...  you might want to have a look at it...
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
::two fighters launch and speed away from the Scimitar following the shadows::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::increases the backward speed to 0.2 impulse::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
TO: Speaking of Pris... how's she doing?
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::makes sure he has the data on the fighter ready to keep an eye on things and checks the COM links::
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
CO: Oh well...you know.......::looks to his sides:: I have no idea.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Looks at his sensors and sees the change:: CTO: This happened after you made contact with the gateway?
CMO LtJG Numark says:
:: sighs, rubs her eyes and continues reading::

ACTION:  After the fighter wing is launched, one of the ghost like things is returning from Cardassian space and inside it is what appears to be a Cardassian in suspended animation

CO Capt MacAllister says:
TO: I thought you two stayed in touch.
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
CO: Oh before I forget. ::snaps his fingers, then reaches for the PADD with his orders on it and hands it to him::
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
CO: You know me...can't be tied down too long.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
XO: Sir...one of the shadows is returning
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Puts up another graph and notices the problem:: CTO: Cut contact please, the control box is overloading our sensors
XO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
::Looks at the view screen.:: OPS: Lieutenant, can you increase the zoom of the view screen and see what that thing in that shadowy... err... thing is?
CO Capt MacAllister says:
TO: So I noticed... whatever happened to Fiona?
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::adjusts course to evade the flares and moves the ship forth at 0.35 impulse::
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
CO: Uh well....she found out about Priscilla...::grins::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::increases zoom:: XO: Aye
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::nods::  CSO: Correct... it might have something to do with the frequency on which the sensors operate... so, the control box might be accessed by frequencies, etc.  ::nods::  cutting link now...  ::deactivates the link with the gate's control box::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
TO: Oh yes! that was your first broken rib wasn't it. ::grins::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
*XO* Commander, we can make out what looks like 2 Cardassians inside the shadow. They would appear to be in some form of suspended animation
OPS Lt Idrani says:
XO: Sir, I'm picking up a Cardassian life sign...in suspended animation, or so it seems.
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
CO: Second time actually...and it teaches me not to date women I teach to fight like me.
XO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
::Watches the view screen closely.:: All: Is that a Cardassian?
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::stops the ship at 5,000 kms from the Iconian Gate::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
*XO* Moving in for a closer look
CO Capt MacAllister says:
TO: Well it does kind of leave you at a disadvantage. ::grins:: so how did you end up teaching?
XO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
*CIV*: Affirmative, but use extreme caution. ::turns to the OPS.:: OPS: Can we do something to get that Cardassian from there?
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
CO: Well...remember Mr. Rogers, our hand-to-hand instructor?

ACTION:  Now that the fighters are closer, they can make out 2 Cardassians and they are heading straight for the gateway.

CO Capt MacAllister says:
TO: Only too well, he broke my nose.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::turns to XO:: XO: Sir, we're in position at 5,000 kilometres from the gate.
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
*XO* Confirmed, there are 2 Cardassians and they are heading directly for the gateway, request permission to continue pursuit
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CTO: You're probably right. ::Turns back to his console and sees how the computer is doing in determining the locations showing in the gateway::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
XO: I'll try and get a transporter lock ::attempts to do so:: but maybe a tractor might stop it also?
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
::laughs and leans back in the chair:: CO: Oh yes....I remember, made me laugh too hard...anyway I took him on once, broke his arm and twisted the ligaments in his knee....he made me his assistant after that. Then when he retired, I took over the class.
XO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
FCO: Good. Hold her here and maintain that distance. I want to know if there are more of these shadowy... things. ::Pauses to think for a moment.:: *CIV*: Standby, we'll see if we can save those Cardassians some how.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
TO: He retired? You must have seriously hurt him. ::chuckles::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
XO: Aye sir, holding position.
XO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
OPS: Alright. See if you can get a lock on them and if so, send them directly to sickbay. ::Taps his COM badge.:: *CMO*: Doc?
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::wonders why the TO is so long in the RR and thinks "Captains boy"::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
*XO* Confirmed, standing by ::brings the fighter to a full stop:
CMO LtJG Numark says:
*XO*: Go ahead.
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
::laughs:: CO: Well you were graduated and all, leaving me to finish my senior year all over again...so I had to hit someone else. ::grins::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
XO: Can't get a transporter lock, Sir
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
OPS: Are they in phase?
CO Capt MacAllister says:
TO: Careful Tony, I still owe you a few dead arms. ::grins::
XO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
*CMO*: Doc, prepare for possible incoming patients. Possibly Cardassians ::Pauses to listen to the OPS.:: If we get a chance to get them out of there.
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
CO: Hitting a junior officer Mac? ::wiggles his finger at him:: Not nice...
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::Scans to see if they are in phase::
CMO LtJG Numark says:
*XO*: Aye sir.
CMO LtJG Numark says:
:: steps out of her office into main sickbay and gets sickbay ready for casualties ::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
TO: I might make an exception in this case. but then I might not.
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
CO: I'll call JAG....::grins::
XO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
OPS: I don't think it is wise to use a tractor beam on them either. ::thinks again.:: *CIV*: Commander, can you send in one of the fighters to get a better look? The transporters can't get a lock on them. We need to know why. Just don't get too close to the gate.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
TO: You want them to hear about Mrs Henderson? ::grins::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
*XO* Moving in now, full sensor sweep
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
::laughs:: CO: Hey....I was 18! Can't blame me if the professor liked me better than you.

ACTION: Plasma flares are causing the fighters to have a tough time maintaining flight patterns.

OPS Lt Idrani says:
CSO: They are in phase, yes
XO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
*CIV*: Acknowledged, keep us informed of any information you can find and send it directly to the CSO.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Does a thorough scan of the Cardassian. Maybe they're in stasis which prevents them from beaming them over?::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
TO: I was never interested in the professor... I was more interested in the cute girl in the back.
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
::struggles with the fighters controls, gradually closing the distance to the shadows::
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
::grins:: CO: Oh yeah.....I remember.
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::maintains a close eye on the gate::  Self: I wonder if there is a sequence in the images that appear.... hmm
XO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
::Starts to sigh and think to himself.:: Self: Why of why did I EVER leave sickbay. ::And tries not to show his emotion to the rest on the bridge.::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
TO: Never did get her name.
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
::grins mischievously (sp?) :: CO: I...uhm, I did.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
TO: Comparing notches now Tony?
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::checks the fighters’ status::
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
CO: Oh we both know I'd win Macky boy. ::smiles at him and stretches his legs::
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
CO: And it was Sarah. ::smiles::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
TO: So that's why you stayed behind! ::grins::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Looks at the computer readouts:: XO: Sir, it seems we've found the location where the Tal-War went. I'm trying to determine location and timing
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
*XO* Closing on the shadows, no additional information at this time, conditions are making for flying difficult, will continue to close
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
CO: Well that and the fact that they found out I reprogrammed the sim.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::antennae perk when he hears the CSO is getting close to discovering where the TW is::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::laughs:: TO: Anyway... I see you've taken the TO position.
XO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
::Moves closer to the CSO to see the information.:: *CIV*: Alright, be careful. We... don't want to loose anyone anymore.
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
CO: Yes Boss, decided it was time to fight some real aliens for a change.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::still tries to keep away of those wee bit too hot plasma flares::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
*XO* Noted Commander, we'll do our best to get back ::increases power to get closer to the shadow::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
TO: Well we can always use decent Tac officers.
XO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
*CO*: Captain, I think you better come out here. I think it is time for the new TO to fight some real aliens for a change. We got a situation here.
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
CO: Oh...so I should leave again? ::laughs::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::hears the CSO and nods::  Self: Excellent...

ACTION:  The ghost figures seem to be drawn to the gate, like being sucked into a whirlpool and the Fighters are too close to avoid being drawn in with them.

TO LtJG Adalberto says:
::hears the voice:: CO: That guy betazoid or what??
CO Capt MacAllister says:
TO: No such luck, to your post Tony, looks like we're needed.
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
CO: Damn....well fine Boss.
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
::stands up;;
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::stands and heads for the bridge::
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
::follows Mac to the Bridge, winking at the OPS officer as he walks out::
CMO LtJG Numark says:
:: stands waiting any news on incoming casualties with the medical team ready and waiting::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::growls at the TO::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Monitors the shadows and the fighters:: *CIV*: You're getting a bit close to the gate. Stop our pursuit and head back to the ship. I don't think there's much more you can do
CO Capt MacAllister says:
XO: What's going on?
XO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
::Notices on the view screen that the fighters are having trouble.:: *CIV*: Commander, get those fighters out of there, ON THE DOUBLE! ::Looks at the CO.:: CO: Hey captain.
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
::walks over to the Tactical station with a confident stride:: CTO: Hey Boss, I'm Tony.
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
::moves next to the CTO::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::prepares the ship to move in if necessary::

ACTION:  The fighters can't pull away.

XO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
CO: Jonathan saw the shadows returning that came from the gate and they... believe it or not, contained Cardassians in some kind of stasis.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
*CIV*: What's going on commander? Get away from there
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::turns to see who is addressing him::  TO: Lieutenant Tony...?
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
OPS: Get a transport lock on those 2 pilots
CO Capt MacAllister says:
XO: Do we have them aboard?
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
CTO: Tony Adalberto, Boss...but Tony's fine.
XO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
::looks at the view screen.:: OPS: Lieutenant, get a tractor beam on those ships fast!
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::increasingly become worried about the ships and tries to get a tractor beam::

ACTION:  Plasma flares prevent a transporter lock.

OPS Lt Idrani says:
::tries getting a transporter lock::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
::struggles with the fighters controls, unable to pull away::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
XO: I can't get a tractor lock, or a transporter lock!
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::nods::  TO: Will do... but on duty I have to be strict on protocol, Lieutenant... so either Commander or Sir will do...  ::grins faintly::  Take your station, Lieutenant....  ::gestures towards tactical 2::  keep an eye on the shields and tactical redundant systems for me...
CO Capt MacAllister says:
XO: Who are we trying to transport?
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
::activates Tac2:: CTO: Yes Bo...Sir.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Sees it's not working:: XO: Sir, We have to get closer
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::nods at the TO and turns to his console again::
XO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
::Looks at the captain.:: CO: Our fighters. I... I had them move in a little too close I think. We can't just leave them to their fate... ::Eyes the view screen.::
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
::brings up shields and Tac overview on main::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
FCO: Move in closer. CTO: Shields up
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::moves the ship closer to the Gate:: CSO: Aye Sir.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::tries to conjure up another idea:: XO: If we can't pull them away, maybe we can push them out of range?
CO Capt MacAllister says:
FCO: Take us in Lieutenant... I'm not losing any more fighters.

ACTION: The fighters are sucked into the gate and the ion trail of the Tal-War can be detected as well.

CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
*XO* I am unable to reverse course, my fighter cannot stand the stresses its under, I'm going to try to pass through the gate to prevent structural failure
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
FCO: Move closer so they are in our shield bubble.. His voice trails off. ::He moves to his sensors and tries to determine what location the fighters went to::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::nods at the CSO::  TO: Take our shields up, Lieutenant...
XO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
*CIV*: Affirmative, we'll follow. ::Looks around.:: All: Okay, brace yourselves people... we don't yet know what is on the other side.
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
::raises shields::
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
CTO: Aye sir, shields raised.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::moves in closer towards the fighters::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::watches the fighters disappear:: FCO: Get after them!
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CO: We're going in too?
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::increases speed::
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
CTO: We're going in there....Mac's become even crazier.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
XO: According to the sensors the fighters are in the same location as the Tal-War luckily
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
::sets sensors to full sweep, attempts to transmit sensor data back to the Scimitar::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Prepares the computer to take over flight controls, making it possible to move into the gateway at the exact right time::
XO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
CSO: Good... let's hope that we don't bump into the Tal War then.... or our fighters for that matter.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CO/XO: If we are going in, maybe we should leave a probe here, something of a warning to others and maybe a way we can locate the right gate
CO Capt MacAllister says:
OPS: Do it, and do it quick.
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
::keeps his eyes on the shield grid::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::launches a probe and sends it out of the range of the "suction" of the gate::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::notices the flight controls are being programmed to be taken over by the computer::
XO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
::grins:: OPS: Good thinking Lieutenant... you'll make a fine officer one day.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
XO: I'm not a fine officer now? ::grunts::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
*Scimitar* Not sure if you can hear me, but I've found the Tal War and another HUGE star ship
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CO: I prepared the computer to take us through the gate at the right time. FCO: No offence lieutenant, but the timing is just too precise
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::holds onto his console::  TO: Nah, we're always lucky in these cases... ::smiles faintly::
XO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
OPS: Don't push it Mr Idrani. You get my point.
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
*Scimitar* Recommend extreme caution if you are attempting any rescue
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
CSO: None taken, Sir.
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
::hears the 'HUGE star ship' parts:: CTO: So it seems.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
XO: I suggest a red alert
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CSO: You know something I don't Commander?
OPS Lt Idrani says:
XO: I was joking, Sir... ::checks the status of the probe::
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
CO: Cap, we're going into unknown space through a huge donut....I think Red Alert is a safe bet.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CO: Well, lets see. 'We're going through an unknown gateway to an unknown location where we know is a big unknown ship. ::Looks at his console:: CO: Sir, we're ready to go through
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
::adjusts course to get a closer look at the huge wedge shaped vessel::
XO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
CO: He does have a point Ethan.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CSO: Well no-one told me about the big ship... ::thinks for a second:: All: Red alert!
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::smiles.. you gotta love the dry humour::
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
::sees the systems power up to full on his console::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
Self: Now that’s what I call a wedgie!
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
CTO: Phasers ready, tubes being loaded sir.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::notices the flight control change and waits for the automatically run diagnostics to be finished::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::receives the diagnostics results:: Self: Jolly good.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
OPS: Is that probe out of range?
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::nods at the TO::  TO: Understood....  ::glances at the readiness report coming in::  CO: All Decks report red alert readiness, Captain...
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::nods to the CTO and waits for an answer from OPS::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CO: It is safe, Sir, Aye
CO Capt MacAllister says:
FCO: Take us in!

ACTION:  The plasma flares are getting VERY close to the Scimitar

FCO LtJG Gnav says:
CO: Aye Sir. ::sets the computer to take over the controls and engages::
XO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
::sits down in his chair and holds on tight.::
XO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
::Puffs a little:: CO: Is it getting hotter in here or what?
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Holds on to his console, somehow expecting to be shaken about:: Self: Here we go again
CO Capt MacAllister says:
XO: That new pip getting heavy Zoran?
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
::grabs the side of his console:: Self: First star ship assignment in years....and this is what I get on my first day.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
CO: Entering the gate, Sir.
XO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
::Raises only one side of his mouth.:: CO: Not yet... I was more referring to the events at the horizon... sir.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
XO: Hopefully it'll be over shortly.
XO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
::nods with eyes widening.::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
*Scimitar* Still not sure if you can receive this. The Tal War seems fine, but I'm getting very little from the larger vessel

ACTION:  The Scimitar goes through the gate and sees the Tal-War and the fighters along with a HUGE ship.

Srian says:
@COM: Scimitar:  Unknown vessels stop and present your papers.  Prepare to be boarded.
