CEO_Taylor says:
EO: Let's not try to understand, let's just be happy that it's ok, we've got more important things to do than ponder about it... ::smiles::

XO_Loren says:
CSO Starfleet will want a full report.

Civ_Ian says:
*CSO/XO* There are 2 gas planets in the first two orbits, then we have the 4 class M types, then the large planet .....  the rest appear to be unremarkable balls of rock.

CSO_Vortak says:
XO: Understood.

CSO_Vortak says:
::preparing to launch probe::

XO_Loren says:
*CIV* Acknowledged.

CEO_Taylor says:
*CSO* What is the status of your sensor resolution? Do you need more power?

CSO: Please launch them and monitor closely.

CEO_Taylor says:
*CSO* You got it :: gives more power to the sensor resolution:: *CSO* Is that enough Lieutenant?

TO_KTral says:
CSO: Have we went to a higher orbit?

CMO_OMallory says:
::while waiting for MacLeod, gives Ensign Press his checkup::

Civ_Ian says:
*XO* I recommend that you alter course slightly to avoid the gravity well of the large planet...  you might also adjust any planned probe trajectories to compensate.

CSO_Vortak says:
::launches Class IV probes  to each planet, having science teams monitoring them::

XO_Loren says:
FCO: any further problem with the gravity pull?

CSO_Vortak says:

CSO: Will the shields protect us?

CEO_Taylor says:
*EO* Report please...

CSO_Vortak says:
TO: Shouldn't you tell me?

EO__MacLeod says:
*CEO* Lieutenant, the sensors arrays are fine.  No problems to report.

OPS_Gazza says:
CEO: The array is running properly sir.

TO_KTral says:
CSO: Then I recommend that we back off because we are heating up.

CTO_Ultsim says:
XO:  Shields, sir?

XO_Loren says:
*CEO* Is the heat having any effect on our shields?

CSO_Vortak says:
All, *CIV* The first Class-M planet is mostly water and has two land masses.

FCO_Kim says:
::stirs the ship clear of the first planet;:

Civ_Ian says:
::The bridge doors swish open::

CEO_Taylor says:
*OPS* Thank you, now all you need to do is keep an eye on the power levels...

XO_Loren says:
CTO: Shields are holding, Mr. Ultsim.

OPS_Gazza says:
CEO: Aye sir.

EO__MacLeod says:
::meets CEO, listening his conversation with XO Loren::

CEO: I'll check the shield's status for you, sir.  Just a moment.

CEO_Taylor says:
*XO* Let me check...

CSO_Vortak says:
All, *CIV*: The third class-M has some water and some fertile land.  ::Bends over console::

CMO_OMallory says:
Mobley: Right over on biobed 4 Lieutenant.

EO__MacLeod says:
::checking shield's status::

Civ_Ian says:
*XO* I recommend that you send him down here...  he might get in the way... he probably thought I was up there.

CTO_Ultsim says:
::takes celery::  Tesla (whisper):  Wait ‘til the XO's not looking...

XO_Loren says:
CSO: Any lifeforms?

CSO_Vortak says:
All, *CIV*: And the fourth is desert-like.

CMO_OMallory says:
<Mobley> CMO: Yes sir.  ::gets up on biobed::

XO_Loren says:
Tesla: Ian wishes you to join him in astrometrics.

CSO_Vortak says:
XO: Checking... ::taps console to pull up lifeform information::

EO__MacLeod says:
CEO: We are having a reduction of 2% of power from the shields.

Civ_Ian says:
<Tesla>:: Looks at XO.. sniffs in disappointment and heads off to astrometrics::

CMO_OMallory says:
Mobley: This should only take a few minutes.  ::begins scans and tests::

CEO_Taylor says:
*XO* Yes, but not severely, we can handle it without any danger...

CSO_Vortak says:
All *CIV*: The fifth has mountains and oceans.  It appears to be habitable.

XO_Loren says:
*CEO* Let me know of any possible problem, Mr. Taylor.

Civ_Ian says:
*CSO* Noted.

EO__MacLeod says:
::compensating the loss::

XO_Loren says:
*CIV* Tesla is on his way to join you.

CSO_Vortak says:
XO: There appear to be only non-sentient lifeforms on all Class-M planets.

CEO_Taylor says:
EO: Please get your medical exam now, I know it's not pleasant but it's a must...

EO__MacLeod says:
CEO:  I will, sir, let me just finish the compensation...

TO_KTral says:
CSO: From what I can make out on sensors the atmosphere was detonated by volcanic eruptions.

Civ_Ian says:
*CSO*I am concerned about gravitational effects....   can we do a projection of the 5th planet’s gravitational effects on the class M's, especially the 4th one?

XO_Loren says:
CSO: Please have your department prepare a full report on it for possible habitation.

EO__MacLeod says:
::still working on shields::

OPS_Gazza says:
XO: Sir, we are receiving a signal but I cannot tell where it is coming from.

CSO_Vortak says:
TO: Fascinating.

CMO_OMallory says:
Mobley: Lieutenant, all looks good.  Your sprain to your wrist is also doing well.  Just take it easy next time in the holosuite...

XO_Loren says:
OPS: Put it on audio.

CSO_Vortak says:
*CIV* Make it so.

TO_KTral says:
CSO: Long range sensors report that there is something out there still scanning.

OPS_Gazza says:
XO: Aye sir.

CEO_Taylor says:
*XO* EO MacLeod is compensating for the shield's power loss...

Civ_Ian says:
*CSO* Working.

OPS_Gazza says:
::places signal on audio::

CTO_Ultsim says:
::overhears TO::  TO:  Any idea what it might be?

XO_Loren says:
*CEO* Acknowledged. Let me know if we need to back away.

EO__MacLeod says:
CEO: Ready.  The shields are fully functional, but I can't tell you how long it will support.  The heat is too intense.

CSO_Vortak says:
XO:  Aye, sir.  Teams:  Please analyze all data for a full report to Starfleet.

CMO_OMallory says:
<Mobley> CMO: Thanks...I will watch out next time...  ::gets up and returns to duty::

TO_KTral says:
CSO: From what I am getting it is something very large like an asteroid.

CEO_Taylor says:
EO: Thank you now, get out of ME and to sickbay!

EO__MacLeod says:
CEO:  Well, on my way to sickbay.  Wish me luck! ::smiles::

CSO_Vortak says:
All: Something very large is en route to this system.

CSO_Vortak says:
TO: Yes.

CTO_Ultsim says:
CSO:  Something like what?

Civ_Ian says:
*CSO/XO* Shifting scans to incoming object.

XO_Loren says:
*CIV* Something is scanning us and there is a large body coming toward us.

CMO_OMallory says:
::goes back to his medical reports for Starfleet Medical::  Self: I wish there was an easier way of doing these...like not at all  ::smiles a bit::

EO__MacLeod says:
*CMO* Sir, I'm on my way.

::enters TL:: Sickbay.

CTO_Ultsim says:
CSO:  how large are we talking here?

CEO_Taylor says:
:: checks internal readings::

CSO_Vortak says:
CTO: I am still trying to figure that out.

CEO_Taylor says:
:: he realizes that it is way too hot and compensates with a new shield harmonics::

CSO_Vortak says:
TO:  Continue taking readings from the planets, while I use long-range sensors on this object.

EO__MacLeod says:
::enters Sickbay:: CMO: Ensign MacLeod reporting, sir.

TO_KTral says:
CSO: Scanning.

CMO_OMallory says:
EO: Ensign, welcome...how are things in Engineering?

XO_Loren says:
*CMO* We have picked up a signal.  You might want to be prepared in sick bay for any lifeforms we may encounter.

CEO_Taylor says:
*XO* I have adjusted the shields so that they will resist to the external heat...

CSO_Vortak says:
All, *CIV* That object, whatever it is, is half the size of the biggest planet in this system.  In other words, it is HUGE.

XO_Loren says:
*CEO* 100%?

CMO_OMallory says:
::hits comm badge:: *XO* Aye sir...

CMO_OMallory says:
EO: Over here to biobed 3.

CMO:  We are having troubles with the shields.

CEO_Taylor says:
*XO* For now...

XO_Loren says:
CSO: Is it on a collision course with us?

TO_KTral says:
CSO: Whatever it is it is moving very fast.

CSO_Vortak says:
*CIV* Acknowledged.

EO__MacLeod says:

XO_Loren says:
*CMO* Please do not begin any new physicals after the one you are working on.

EO__MacLeod says:
CMO:  Aye.

CMO_OMallory says:
*XO* Aye sir...

CSO_Vortak says:
CTO:  To where?

CTO_Ultsim says:
XO/CSO: It’s coming right for us...

XO_Loren says:
CTO: It changed direction to come toward us?

CTO_Ultsim says:
XO:  It appears so.

XO_Loren says:
CTO: Is it a ship?

CEO_Taylor says:
::begins boosting the shield's power to compensate for the extreme heat::

Host Tim says:
ACTION: Object is at farthest sensor range, limited data available.

CMO_OMallory says:
::conducts last test::  EO: Ok, all done.  Not too bad, eh?  All looks very good Ensign.

XO_Loren says:
FCO: Change course to keep out of its way.

CTO_Ultsim says:
XO: I don't know.  It’s still a ways off.

CMO_OMallory says:
EO: I am impressed on your health.

EO__MacLeod says:
CMO: Thank you, sir.  It's good to know.

CSO_Vortak says:
XO:  Perhaps we should try telepathic communication to see if there are lifeforms in the object.

FCO_Kim says:
XO: Aye sir.

CMO_OMallory says:
EO: Now, get back to duty...

FCO_Kim says:
::changes course to avoid object::

EO__MacLeod says:
CEO:  Can I use some power from transporters to navigation?  Not too much.

XO_Loren says:
CNS: I am glad you are here.

CEO_Taylor says:
EO: No, we may need the transporters later if we have to beam whoever it is over there aboard...

CMO_OMallory says:
::looks over supplies on hand::

CSO_Vortak says:
All: Scans show that the rocks on the surface of the sphere are quite ancient.

CEO_Taylor says:
EO: Take power from holodeck II, it's empty right now...

EO__MacLeod says:
CEO: Good idea, sir!

CEO_Taylor says:
CPU: Computer, shut down holodeck II...

XO_Loren says:
CSO: Any geologists in your department available for analyzing this?

CSO_Vortak says:
All: The sphere is slowing down even more now.

CMO_OMallory says:
::checks over all Med kits to make sure all in proper order with Ensign Press::

CEO_Taylor says:
<CPU>*CEO* Acknowledged...

EO__MacLeod says:
::rerouting power from holodeck II to navigation::

OPS_Gazza says:
:: scans other channels to find a better signal::

CSO_Vortak says:
XO: Yes, Ensign Altsen is a geologist, I will put her on it.

XO_Loren says:
::nods to CSO::

CTO_Ultsim says:
XO/CSO: The sphere is still adjusting direction.

Host Tim says:
ACTION: Sphere is at maximum range of visual sensors, and is huge.

EO__MacLeod says:
CEO: Done.  We don't need that much, but it's okay.  Working just fine.

XO_Loren says:
CTO: Toward us?

CEO_Taylor says:
EO: No matter, we'll use the rest on the shields...

CSO_Vortak says:
*Ens Altsen* Please analyze the data on the ancient rocks on this sphere.

CEO_Taylor says:
::reroutes power to shield::

CSO_Vortak says:
::looks at the massive sphere on visual::

EO__MacLeod says:
*FCO* Your console is enhanced.  Anything else, just talk to me, okay?

XO_Loren says:
CNS Are you sensing anything from the object?

CEO_Taylor says:
*XO/CSO/CTO* Our shields are now back at 98.78%

FCO_Kim says:
*EO* Ok thanks sir.

XO_Loren says:
*CEO* Acknowledged.

XO_Loren says:
OPS: Please send out a greeting message.

EO__MacLeod says:
::moves back to CEO:: CEO: Well, the navigation is enhanced.  We don't need to worry about that.

OPS_Gazza says:
XO: Aye sir.

CNS_Cook says:
::looks up at Loren as coming out of a daze::  XO:  I am sorry sir what did you say?

CEO_Taylor says:
::monitors the situation on the bridge::

CSO_Vortak says:
XO:  The sphere has slowed down and is hovering just outside the Annawon system.

OPS_Gazza says:
::sends message on all channels::

XO_Loren says:
CNS: Do you sense anything from the object?

TO_KTral says:
::Scanning the interior of the object::

Host Tim says:
ACTION: All scans bounce back.

CSO_Vortak says:
XO:  Would you like me to launch a probe??

XO_Loren says:
::nods to CSO::

TO_KTral says:
CSO: Scans will not penetrate the object.

CNS_Cook says:
::looks at Loren with a look of confusion::  XO:  What object?

CSO_Vortak says:
TO: Acknowledged.  Perhaps a probe will.

CMO_OMallory says:
::after all Med kits check out, except for kit 8, puts reports away off his desk::

CSO_Vortak says:
::launches a Class III probe at sphere::

TO_KTral says:
::Launching probe towards object::

Host Tim says:
ACTION: Sphere is huge, but moves delicately through the system.

XO_Loren says:
CNS: Perhaps you need to go to sick bay?

CSO_Vortak says:
All: For something so large, it seems to be moving rather gracefully through the system.

CEO_Taylor says:
::looks at a visual of the sphere:: EO: Look at that!

EO__MacLeod says:
::assisting CEO on monitoring bridge::

CNS_Cook says:
XO:  No, I am fine, but I would like some rest may I go to my room.

XO_Loren says:
CNS: You don't look quite well. Yes, you may leave the bridge.

Host Tim says:
ACTION: Probes circles, reporting only the surface data

EO__MacLeod says:
CEO: What is that? ::looking to screen::

CSO_Vortak says:
XO, All: We are getting only surface data from the probe.

XO_Loren says:
OPS: Any response to our hails?

TO_KTral says:
CSO: Probe is not having any luck.

CNS_Cook says:
XO:  Thanks. ::exits the bridge and heads towards his room::

XO_Loren says:
CSO: Make sure the computer is getting all of it.

CEO_Taylor says:
EO: From what I heard, it's some kind of a ship!

CSO_Vortak says:
TO: It appears not.

CSO_Vortak says:
XO:  Aye, sir.

EO__MacLeod says:
CEO:  For me, it looks like an asteroid...

XO_Loren says:
CSO: Try landing the probe on the surface.

CSO_Vortak says:
XO: Aye sir.  ::launches another probe, this time landing it on the surface::

OPS_Gazza says:
XO: Not yet sir.

OPS_Gazza says:
:: continues to send out message::

XO_Loren says:
OPS: Thank you.

EO__MacLeod says:
::looks to shields monitor::

CSO_Vortak says:
XO:  Ensign Altsen reports that the debris on the surface of the sphere is just normal space debris, just very old space debris.

CEO_Taylor says:
*CSO* Need any help?

XO_Loren says:
*CEO* Shields, Engineer?

Host Tim says:
ACTION: Surface probes senses energy pulses

TO_KTral says:
CSO: Getting a report of energy pulses from object.

XO_Loren says:
::looks at the report of the energy pulses::

CEO_Taylor says:
*XO* The shields are presently at 97.93% sir...

CSO_Vortak says:
*CEO* If you have any Engineers that you can spare with a scientific bent, they could help the science teams analyze data.

CNS_Cook says:
::slowly enters his room and looks at him self in the mirror:: Self: I do look a little pale, maybe I should go to sickbay.

XO_Loren says:
*CEO* Acknowledged.

Host Tim says:
