:: walks onto bridge and takes position at helm ::

Amb_McD says:
::still sitting in that dark, ominous corner of the Bridge, observing and looking at the Ship's Clock every once in awhile::

Ops_Ander says:
*CTO*: Cole, stand by for transport...is there someone near you? I'm picking up another lifesign in your area.

CSOBandra says:
::back on duty, monitoring sensors::

CEO_McLir says:
EO: I didn't notice you here, thought you'd be on the bridge>

CTO_Bucha says:
@*Ops*: Yeah...  I've got several wounded colonists with me....  we're ready for transport.

CO_Ian says:
::enters the TL::  Bridge

EO_Keorn says:
CEO: when all hell broke loose I came down

Ops_Ander says:
*CTO*: Roger that...locking on...transporting directly to sickbay.

CEO_McLir says:
::nods:: EO: I should have known.  So what's the status, I see main power is back up.

Ops_Ander says:
*Sickbay* Bridge to sickbay...we just transported Lieutenant Buchanan and several colonists to you.

CTO_Bucha says:
@::shimmers  and materializes in sickbay with some colonists::

EO_Keorn says:
CEO: As are transporters, ... What do you mean you should have known?!?

Ops_Ander says:
*TRs* Bridge to transporter rooms...chiefs, resume transport. We gotta pack this ship like a sardine can.
CEO_McLir says:
::grins:: EO: I trained you didn't I? Where else would you be?

EO_Keorn says:
CEO: Oh ok I thought you were trying to say that I was avoiding the bridge.

CEO_McLir says:
::turns to console and monitors the systems as they come back on line::

Ops_Ander says:
CO: Captain, all senior staff members are now aboard. We're still working to evacuate all remaining crew members and as many colonists as space will allow.

CSOBandra says:
::Scanning system::

Amb_McD says:
::debates his Command Advisement Clause in his head::

CEO_McLir says:
EO: what's the shield status?

CTO_Bucha says:
Maura: the doctors will take care of you...  I am needed on the bridge.

Ops_Ander says:
::moves to tac station, walking past McDowell:: McD: Excuse me, Captain...

Amb_McD says:
::rolls his chair out of the way::

EO_Keorn says:
CEO Still working on it, I figured there would be no use for shields without the main power to energize them

DrMcCella says:
::Yawning in sickbay::

Ops_Ander says:
::checks status of tactical systems, sees shields and weapons are still down::

CTO_Bucha says:
::leaves sickbay and enters TL::  TL: bridge

CEO_McLir says:
::nods, moves to reroute power to shields when OPS wants them::

CEO_McLir says:
*OPS* Shields are available, working on the weapons.

FCO_Wntrs says:
CO: Captain if the planet has stabilized we should work on a way to make the planet liveable again, instead of trying to evacuate.

DrMcCella says:
::Sees about 5-6 colonists arrive and Cole Leave::
Ops_Ander says:
*CEO* Thanks, Niall. I'll let you know if we need them...at this point, we're running the transporters full-bore.

CO_Ian says:
FCO: that sounds good but will it work?

Amb_McD says:
::looks at the clock again...stands up suddenly and then walks across the Bridge, visibly in front of everyone, to enter the Observation Lounge::

CNS_Jamin says:
::still in the SB, though wanting out::

CTO_Bucha says:
::exits TL onto the bridge::

FCO_Wntrs says:
CO: My guess is that we would still need to seal the remaining fissures.

CSOBandra says:
::overhearing FCO:: FCO: we could but I think the effort required and the risk that such a process might once again destabilize the planet is to great.

CEO_McLir says:
EO: I think we should have a tech at each transporter, just in case.

DrMcCella says:
::Walks over to them:: Uh...take a bed....I'll be with you....in a minute

Ops_Ander says:
CO: Captain, we're picking up a comm signal from the surface.

CO_Ian says:
Ops: from the planet? On screen

Ops_Ander says:
::opens channel::

Ops_Ander says:
CO: It's audio only, Captain.

EO_Keorn says:
CEO: If you want to see to things from the bridge I can handle it down here.

CTO_Bucha says:
::takes station at tac::

Host LtJG_Dan says:
@ COM: Scimitar:  We're going to need some air filters of some kind down here sir.

CO_Ian says:
Ops: let's hear it then.

DrMcCella says:
::Grabs a tricorder and begins to scan the colonists one-by-one::
Ops_Ander says:
CTO: Weapons are still offline...Niall says we have shields if we need them, but we're still transporting people aboard.

FCO_Wntrs says:
CO: Could we erect a small biodome?

CEO_McLir says:
::raises eyebrows, pauses, then nods:: EO: agreed, I'll be topside.

Host LtJG_Dan says:
@ COM: Scimitar: There are still fissures opening in the ground and there is sulphur dioxide leaking into the protected area.  ::coughs::

CSOBandra says:
::Runs system check::

CEO_McLir says:
::leaves for TL::

Amb_McD says:
::enters the Observation Lounge:: Computer, open encrypted long-range subspace data uplink with Federation Council Datanet, routing through subspace relays... ::looks to the side:: 17 Baker and 293 Charlie. Authorization McDowell Field 192-07 Baker.

DrMcCella says:
::Begins listing injuries to himself:: Broken Arm, bruised Appendix, head trauma, broken tibia....

CO_Ian says:
FCO: possible but I highly doubt it.

EO_Keorn says:
::Notices a problem and instructs crewman on correct procedure::

CEO_McLir says:
TL: Bridge

DrMcCella says:
::Continues the list:: Sulphur Dioxide poisoning, Carbon Monoxide Poisoning...

FCO_Wntrs says:
CO: I think it would be worth a try. Out options are kind of limited right now

DrMcCella says:
::Begins to work on patients::

Host LtJG_Dan says:
@ COM: Scimitar: We're continuing with trying to reinforce the force-fields...  maybe set up something underground, but we'll need to do something soon.

Amb_McD says:
::watches the computer respond...and then exits:: OPS: Mr. Andersen, I don't wish to trouble you at all, but could you let me know when data channel 2374 has been established?

CO_Ian says:
::shakes her head, thinking:: FCO: maybe later.

Ops_Ander says:
::turns head to see McD:: McD: Aye, sir. I'll inform you ASAP.

CEO_McLir says:
::Exits TL, nods to CO and moves to ENG console::

FCO_Wntrs says:
CO: Are you alright?

Ops_Ander says:
CO: Captain, if we need to transport the equipment, the emergency transporters are available.

CO_Ian says:
FCO: I'm fine.

Amb_McD says:
::grins as he enters the TL:: OPS: I'll pay you back with a drink in the Lounge. Deck 7!

FCO_Wntrs says:
CO: You seem a little preoccupied.

Ops_Ander says:
::smirks, returns to watching transport progress::

DrMcCella says:
::finishes patient, Does a scan of Maura::

CSOBandra says:
::glances at Aurel::

CEO_McLir says:
CO: those generators and force fields are only going to last about another 3 hours at best.

CO_Ian says:
Ops: alright then use the emergency transporters but first maybe see about helping with the sulfur leak problem

DrMcCella says:
::Turns to get a Dermal Regenerator:: Maura: That's a nasty Scrape....how did you get that then?

Ops_Ander says:
CO: Aye, Captain.... CSO: Lieutenant, would there be any way we could produce high amounts of oxygen to combat the sulfur leaks?

CSOBandra says:
OPS: possible, if the surface material has a high oxidization content it would be as simple as melting the rocks with phasers
CNS_Jamin says:
::gets up & decides to see if she can help any of the patients in SB::

CSOBandra says:
OPS: but as that could result in sulfur dioxide it wouldn't do much good.

DrMcCella says:
<Maura> McC: I fell.....a Starfleet rescued me from a cliff

CTO_Bucha says:
::scanning for any other incoming vessels::

FCO_Wntrs says:
CSO: I would advide against it... If the gases were to combine the results would be even deadlier.

Ops_Ander says:
CSO: Wait...do we have any spare environmental scrubbers for removing carbon dioxide? We could try converting them for removal of sulfur dioxide.

DrMcCella says:
::Uses the dermal regenerator on her:: Maura: What's your name?

CSOBandra says:
OPS: yes we could, good idea.

FCO_Wntrs says:
Ops: However, where would the products of the scrubbers go?

CEO_McLir says:
*EO* Get a tech to junction D36-HJ 45, and reroute that conduit for the shields.

DrMcCella says:
<Maura> McC: Maura...

EO_Keorn says:
*CEO* I'll do it personally

CSOBandra says:
FCO: Into the filter buffers wouldn't they?

CO_Ian says:
::sits down in captain's chair, looking at the display on the arm::

FCO_Wntrs says:
CSO: We are talking about large amounts of gas here.

EO_Keorn says:
::grabs a repair kit and head to the junction::

Amb_McD says:
::enters one of the numerous ship's computer datacenters...sits down::

Ops_Ander says:
CSO, FCO: As long as we kept the colonists within a confined area...use the scrubbers there, possibly within an environmental shelter...

FCO_Wntrs says:
Ops: Yes, I already mentioned a biodome environment. However, the Captain didn't seem to like the idea

CNS_Jamin says:
::sees the little girl she rescued from the colony & walks over to her::

CSOBandra says:
FCO: I know that. Do you have any better ideas? that could be implemented quickly? OPS: excellent idea, we could even set the filters to send the exhaust out of the shelter

CO_Ian says:
CTO: any idea where that probe came from?

CEO_McLir says:
::runs a level three diagnostic on weapons and shield systems::

CSOBandra says:
::notices sensors are up to 75%::

EO_Keorn says:
::in junction:: *CEO* Sir how is that?

CTO_Bucha says:
CO: our shields are on-line, but we don't have any weapons.

Ops_Ander says:
::looks at readout:: CO: Captain, total of 425 colonists are aboard. Almost all of our personnel have returned...bare-bones team still on the surface.

DrMcCella says:
::Walks to the CNS:: CNS: Could you take her and her ::Points:: And busy them?

CO_Ian says:
CTO: Alright Ops: good

Amb_McD says:
::runs hands over the seven computer consoles:: Computer, time until uplink completion?

DrMcCella says:
::Walks to the other colonists and treats::

CEO_McLir says:
*EO* that did it, now for the weapons.

Ops_Ander says:
CSO: We'd also have to see what structures are left on the surface...if any of them can be made airtight that might save us a shelter or two.

EO_Keorn says:
*CEO* where to then?

CNS_Jamin says:
CMO: If you could be a little more specific, yes.

CTO_Bucha says:
CO: Given the trajectory of the probe , I can only speculate to it's origin.

CEO_McLir says:
*EO* check the forward emitters.

CSOBandra says:
OPS Very well.

CO_Ian says:
CTO: thank you.

EO_Keorn says:
*CEO* on my way :: makes way to forward emitters::

CTO_Bucha says:
OPS:  Do you have the tricorder I sent up?

DrMcCella says:
CNS: ::looking down at the wounds:: Amuse them....keep there minds occupied ::Looks over his shoulder:: I know you can do it, you do it to me...::Smiles:: but maybe not the same way

Ops_Ander says:
CTO: Oh, yeah... ::picks up tricorder from rear Mission Ops console, hands it to CTO:: Here you go.

CEO_McLir says:
*EO* I'm showing power in but no out flow.

Ops_Ander says:
CTO: We downloaded the data into the computer after it arrived.

EO_Keorn says:
::Begins to diagnose problem::

CTO_Bucha says:
CO: The probe arrived on the same course of the Opeongo's warp trail.

Ops_Ander says:
::thinks, now why doesn't that surprise me?::

CTO_Bucha says:
OPS: thanks Ed  ::moves back behind tac console::

CEO_McLir says:
*Chief TOR* what's the status of the IDF?

Ops_Ander says:
::notices datalink confirmation on MO console:: *McD* Bridge to McDowell...the subspace datalink you requested? It's been established, sir.

CTO_Bucha says:
::accesses computer files downloaded from the tricorder::
CO_Ian says:
CTO: well that confirms my suspicions. now only if weapons were back online.

EO_Keorn says:
::Find the problem ... Burned out coupling ... gets one from the kit::

Amb_McD says:
*OPS* Thank you much. ::starts typing:: Computer, establish routing interface to Starfleet Headquarters datacenter. Download all data on command seizure, current fleet movements, and upload status report McDowell Beta 3.

EO_Keorn says:
::reconnect power to the new coupling::  *CEO* try that

CEO_McLir says:
<TOR>*CEO* IDF is shaky but online, SIF is stabilizing.

CTO_Bucha says:
*EO*: Can you guys bring our weapons back up?

EO_Keorn says:
*CTO* working on that right now

CEO_McLir says:
::reruns weapons diagnostic::

DrMcCella says:
::Finishes work in here and heads for a holodeck::

CEO_McLir says:
*EO* that did it, ::turns to CTO:: CTO: try the targeting scanners.

CTO_Bucha says:
::tries to bring weapons targeting systems on-line::

CTO_Bucha says:
::tapping console::

Ops_Ander says:
CO: Transports continuing with no problems, Captain. We just went over the 500 mark.

EO_Keorn says:
::returns to ME::

CO_Ian says:
Ops: alright  :;nods her head::

Amb_McD says:
::finishes data transfer:: Computer, close data channel. Erase all comm records of this transfer. Secure all transferred files and records, authorization McDowell Delta 9.

Amb_McD says:
*OPS* Mr. Andersen, no record of this secured data transfer will remain logged. Thank you much.
CEO_McLir says:
OPS: it looks like everything is online, but the IDF is shaky.  FCO: we don't need warp right now, let us stabilize the IDF

CNS_Jamin says:
Girl: Hello, there. I never got your name the first time.

CEO_McLir says:
*EO* work with the Chief on the IDF

Ops_Ander says:
CEO: Roger that, Niall.

FCO_Wntrs says:
CEO: If this planet explodes we may need to get out of here quickly.

EO_Keorn says:
*CEO* on it

Ops_Ander says:
*McD* Aye, sir.

CSOBandra says:
CO: sir I’m picking up a level one shockwave approaching us

EO_Keorn says:
::stabilizes power to IDF::

CEO_McLir says:
FCO/CO: noted but it might cost us.

Ops_Ander says:
::glad the shields are ready::

Amb_McD says:
::smiles...but then goes stone cold...exits the datacenter with four PADDs, making sure no one sees him::

Ops_Ander says:
*TRs* Transporter chiefs, prepare to cut transport temporarily...we've got a shockwave coming our way.

FCO_Wntrs says:
CO/CEO: So could staying in orbit of an exploding planet.

CO_Ian says:
*All hands* prepare for impact

Ops_Ander says:
::receives acknowledgment:: CO: Captain, we've suspended transport. You can engage shields at any time.

CEO_McLir says:
FCO: no...::braces::

CO_Ian says:
CTO: Shields

CSOBandra says:
CO: origin is confirmed sir, beta epller I

FCO_Wntrs says:
:: steadies himself ::

DrMcCella says:
::Holds on to something in the holodeck::

CTO_Bucha says:
CO: raising shields

Amb_McD says:
::stands mid-corridor, listening to the comm...grabs the railing on the side of the hallway...one single thought in his mind::

Ops_Ander says:
All: Only one explanation...the Opeongo must have destroyed the planet.

CEO_McLir says:
*EO* get on that IDF, I want it up now.

Ops_Ander says:
CO: Transporter rooms confirm colonist count at 530...mostly women, children and critically wounded.

EO_Keorn says:
::finishes repairs to IDF::

Ops_Ander says:
::grips XO console tightly::

Host James says:
Action:  The level 1 shockwave passes, gently rocking the Scimitar.

Ops_Ander says:
::feels ship lurch::

CEO_McLir says:
::rolls with the ship as though afloat on the sea::

FCO_Wntrs says:
:: grins at Ops :: Ops: Why so tense it was just a little thing.

CO_Ian says:
OPs: right. ::calms down::

CEO_McLir says:
::shakes head at FCO and grins::

EO_Keorn says:
::looks at Tor:: Tor: that was close

Amb_McD says:
::rumbles for a moment...almost goes for his comm badge, but thinks not to...continues down the empty hall::

Ops_Ander says:
FCO: With what's happened in the last month...there are no little things anymore.

DrMcCella says:
::Feels a lurch from the ship::

CEO_McLir says:
*EO* staus of IDF?

FCO_Wntrs says:
:: continues to smile ::

EO_Keorn says:
*CEO* need to run a level 3 diagnostic but I think it is bak to full

DrMcCella says:
::Exits the holodeck for sickbay again::

CSOBandra says:
::runs system check::

CTO_Bucha says:
::continues monitoring long range scans from the direction of the Opeongo's warp trail::

CEO_McLir says:
OPS: what's the status of the planet's power plant?

EO_Keorn says:
::begins diagnostic::

CNS_Jamin says:
<Girl> CNS: Liara.

CSOBandra says:
::Everything's fine::

Ops_Ander says:
CEO: I'll find out...*AT* Scimitar to away team...what's the status of the planet's power-generation capability?

EO_Keorn says:
*CEO* IDF is at 85%

CEO_McLir says:
*EO* noted.  FCO: did you copy?

FCO_Wntrs says:
CEO: Yes, what is the status of the warp drive?

Ops_Ander says:
*AT* Away team...please respond!

Ops_Ander says:
CO: Captain, I'm not getting any response from the away team.

CEO_McLir says:
FCO: it's fine, just ease into it.

EO_Keorn says:
::Continues work on IDF::

FCO_Wntrs says:
CEO: Acknowledged.

CO_Ian says:
Ops: I'm not exactly surprised. that shockwave could've knocked power out temporarily down there.

CNS_Jamin says:
Liara: Well, Liara we're going to work on finding your parents.

Ops_Ander says:
::looks at CEO:: CEO: I think that'd answer your last question...

Ops_Ander says:
CEO: ...but I'd still be happier hearing it from them.

CEO_McLir says:
OPS: well, we're going to have to get that plant on line soon.  The gas is still a threat.

EO_Keorn says:
*CEO* Sir it seems that we have most everything under control down here, permission to relieve the off duty shifts?

Amb_McD says:
::enters a dark room, locks the door...uploads his PADDs into the secured workstation::

CEO_McLir says:
*EO* do a final check on the transporters and then have them stand down.

EO_Keorn says:
*CEO* Aye Sir

Ops_Ander says:
CEO: Agreed. CO: Captain, we should send down a supplemental away team to restore communications with the planet.

EO_Keorn says:
Tor: have your people so a final check on the transporters and then you can go.

Ops_Ander says:
CO: Unless we hear from them soon.

CO_Ian says:
Ops: alright. keep hailing them every once in awhile.

Ops_Ander says:
CO: Aye, Captain. ::opens hailing frequencies::

CTO_Bucha says:
::reading through tricorder data::

Ops_Ander says:
CEO: Do you have any engineers to spare for a supplemental away team, in case we can't make contact?

CEO_McLir says:
OPS: don't we have a portable Comm unit we could send rather than risk more people?

Ops_Ander says:
CEO: I'll try to find one...

CSOBandra says:
::scanning system and LR sensors::

CTO_Bucha says:
CO:  I've got a disturbing comm in this data....   it's Amb. McDowell.

CNS_Jamin says:
::Turns around to talk with Maura.::

CEO_McLir says:
OPS: if there's no other way we can of course go down below.

Ops_Ander says:
::looks through inventory...spots what he needs:: *TR1* Bridge to Transporter Room 1...Hansen, pull an auxiliary comm unit from your wall locker and transport it to the away team, with directions to hail us upon receipt.

CO_Ian says:
*McDowell* I think you better come to the Bridge Ambassador.

CTO_Bucha says:
CO: should I put it on screen?  It's the Opeongo posing as McDowell...

DrMcCella says:
::Becomes to wander off into a philosophical way of thinking while treating patients as a tune makes it's way into his mind::

CO_Ian says:
CTO: no wait for him to get up here.

Ops_Ander says:
CO: Still no response from the surface...I'm sending down an auxiliary comm unit.

CNS_Jamin says:
::Sees her asleep & walks over to the CMO.:: CMO: Can you release me yet?

CTO_Bucha says:
CO: Aye.

Ops_Ander says:
::turns to CTO, incredulous as to what he just said::

CO_Ian says:
Ops: alright.

Amb_McD says:
::grits his teeth...and turns up a small desk light:: *CO* I...I'm on my way. ::exits quickly, securing the files again::

Ops_Ander says:
<CPO_Hansen>*Ops* Aye, sir. I've got it...transporting now.

CO_Ian says:
::Thinks: his double?::

DrMcCella says:
CNS: Go on then, I assume I'm getting to do the babysitting?

CNS_Jamin says:
CMO: I've done it for the last 6 or 7 months. It seems only fair to me. ::Smiles::

CEO_McLir says:
::wonders what the status of the power source is?::

Ops_Ander says:
::checks on transporter coordinates:: CEO: They've got the comm unit...now let's see if they respond.

DrMcCella says:
CNS: Shoo before I run you out of here!

CEO_McLir says:
OPS: right, I need to see if the power plant can support the force fields without the generators.

Amb_McD says:
::enters the bridge, after having stealthily lurked around the ship::

CNS_Jamin says:
CMO: Thank you, kindly ::Heads for the SB's doors.::

Ops_Ander says:
CEO: That's right...and those power plants could also support the environment scrubbers too...

Ops_Ander says:
All: Ambassador on the bridge.

CO_Ian says:
Ambassador: the Shadow claimed to be you, sir. CTO: On screen

CTO_Bucha says:
::transfers data to forward viewer::  CO: Aye.

Host James says:
Action:  A recording of the mysterious shadowy figure appears on screen.  He claims to be Ambassador McDowell and represents the first of a new UFP front for expansion into this region of the galaxy.  The colony leader's reply is not heard, however the 'Shadow' informs them that their 'choice' is irrevocable.

Amb_McD says:
::glares at the screen::

CEO_McLir says:
OPS: once we get contact have an engineer verify the plant's power source and change over from the generators.

CO_Ian says:
self: how could he know about McDowell becoming ambassador?

Amb_McD says:
::looks up to OPS:: OPS: Do we have a time stamp and tracking location of that signal?

Ops_Ander says:
CEO: Right...wait, we're still not getting any comms from them...oh, great. *TR1* Hansen, try to reestablish locks on the away team!

FCO_Wntrs says:
CO: I think we should warn the rest of the colonies in the area.

EO_Keorn says:
::Brings IDF to 93%::

CSOBandra says:
::watching signal, confused and amazed::

CO_Ian says:
FCO: good idea.

Ops_Ander says:
McD: Checking now... CO: Captain, we've lost transporter lock on the away team. Still can't contact them, either.

CEO_McLir says:
::thinks, I really don't want to go back::

CNS_Jamin says:
::Makes her way to her quarters before heading to the bridge.::

DrMcCella says:
::Works works works::

Amb_McD says:
