::In observation Lounge::

XO-O’Mallory says:
::in observation lounge for meeting::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::in observation lounge, finishing preparations to the brief::

CTO_Hunter says:
::sits in a squeaky chair in the Observation Lounge::

FCO_Adams says:
::enters the OL and stands at the back trying not to be noticed::

CMO_Llewellyn says:
::in observation lounge, feeling a little nervous::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::looks at XO:: XO: Everyone here? ::then looks around::

TO_Baggins says:
:: walks into the observation lounge ::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::awaits for everyone to sit and get quiet::

EO_On says:
::leaves ME enroute to OL::

XO-O’Mallory says:
CO: CEO is unavailable right now.

Host CO_Spencer says:
::pours herself some coffee and sits back in her chair::

CTO_Hunter says:
::moves his chair slightly and winces as it squeaks very loudly::

XO-O’Mallory says:
CO: All else are present.

Host CO_Spencer says:
::nods:: XO: Is he sending anyone in his place?

TO_Baggins says:
:: walks to sit down next to CTO ::

FCO_Adams says:
::hears the CTO's chair squeak::

XO-O’Mallory says:
CO: EO On is on his way.

Host CO_Spencer says:
::Nods:: XO: We shall wait for him.. maybe the CTO could fix his chair. ::getting a headache and frowns::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: I believe EO On is coming.

EO_On says:
::arrives to OL::

Host Yeoman_Schmutz says:
::working on waste recycling, deck 20::

EO_On says:
::takes a seat in the OL::

CTO_Hunter says:
::nods to the TO and in doing so his chair moves again and off course it squeaks again::

XO-O’Mallory says:
CO: All present Captain.

FCO_Adams says:
::giggles as the chair squeaks again::

TO_Baggins says:
:: sits down next to CTO and nods ::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::looks at Hunter::
XO: Ok let’s get on with it.
CSO: You have a report for us?

CSO_MacLeod says:
<SO_Altsen> ::on bridge running sensors scans::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: Yes, captain. ::looks at the crew::

CTO_Hunter says:
::short shrugs at the captain and has a look that say "I am sorry"::

CSO_MacLeod says:
ALL:  Good evening.  We requested this meeting to show you the results that you all have seen on my last report.

XO-O’Mallory says:
::listens to findings::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::smiles at Hunter::

CMO_Llewellyn says:
::waits patiently::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::turns her chair to face MacLeod::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::turns the screen on:: ALL: As you can see, we have made a composition research on the asteroid, trying to determinate the cause of the xenophobe we have faced.

TO_Baggins says:
:: listens to CSO with an intent look on face ::

CTO_Hunter says:
::turns to face the CSO and of course his chair squeaks again::

CTO_Hunter says:
::winces::

EO_On says:
::takes attention of what CSO MacLeod is going to say::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::looks at screen::

FCO_Adams says:
::stares at the screen::

CSO_MacLeod says:
ALL:  Unfortunately, we were not able to determinate this cause, but we got some interesting results, as I'll show you now.

Host Yeoman_Schmutz says:
::begins to remove bolts from plate for access to raw material::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::holds her coffee in both hands::

CMO_Llewellyn says:
::looks at screen, even though she has seen the info before::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::glances the screen, which shows the asteroid and its composition and formation::

EO_On says:
::looks at screen::

XO-O’Mallory says:
::looks over at screen::

FCO_Adams says:
::wonders why the rest of the crew didn't get coffee::

CTO_Hunter says:
::looks at the screen and tries his best not to move his chair::

CSO_MacLeod says:
ALL:  Does anybody remember about the Mages planet? ::looks around awaiting someone to nod::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::nods:: CSO: Yes.

CMO_Llewellyn says:
::sips her vanilla nut coffee, and thinks of Donnie for a brief moment::

Host Yeoman_Schmutz says:
::Really wishes he hadn't angered the CEO; this is lousy work::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::smiles and nods back:: ALL: I think you remember the pink cloud.  This cloud had an unusual effect on us, changing our mood.  We felt good, in peace, like we never felt before, remember? ::is sorry because Dr. McMurdo is not there, they worked together with the cloud research::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::sits coffee down picks up a pad and taps in information ::

Host Yeoman_Schmutz says:
Self: Yeah, right... "everyone gets a turn at cleaning it" he said.  Like my little mistake didn't have anything to do with it.

CMO_Llewellyn says:
::still keeping one ear open on what Mauro is saying::

Host CO_Spencer says:
CSO: Do you think there is a correlation between the two?

CTO_Hunter says:
::takes a ship of his "Orange juice"::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: I'll get there, Captain. ::smiles::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::raises a brow:: CSO: Pardon me.. do go on.

CSO_MacLeod says:
ALL:  And what about the Ergot, the Yergii III fungus? ::glances the CMO and looks around again::

EO_On says:
::pay attention of what the CSO is saying::

Host Yeoman_Schmutz says:
::Removes last of 18 bolts and eases plate off, setting it down on deck::

CMO_Llewellyn says:
::sips coffee, waits patiently::

TO_Baggins says:
:: seems a bit confused ::

FCO_Adams says:
::nods her head yes to that fungus thing::

CSO_MacLeod says:
ALL:  Okay, as you read on my report, the asteroid's composition show clearly 47% matching with Ergot and 23% with cloud's composition.  30%, still unknown, unfortunately.

TO_Baggins says:
:: but pays attention none the less::

CTO_Hunter says:
::thinks the OJ needs a little bit more of that Russian flavor::

Host Yeoman_Schmutz says:
::wrinkles nose at the smell:: Mutters: Looks normal to me.

CSO_MacLeod says:
ALL:  Anyway, we have a theory linking the cloud and the fungus to the new weapon we have been hearing so much.  Dr. Llewellyn will explain it.  ::signs the CMO, sits and observes::

XO-O’Mallory says:
::flips through report::

Host Yeoman_Schmutz says:
::Pulls out tricorder and checks sample and flow::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::looks over to Llewellyn::

CMO_Llewellyn says:
::stands:: All: my theory is pretty simple...

XO-O’Mallory says:
::shifts attention to CMO::

TO_Baggins says:
:: looks over at CMO ::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::takes some notes on his padd and looks back at CMO::

EO_On says:
::Now takes attention on what the CMO is saying about the theory::

FCO_Adams says:
::smiles at Heather::

CTO_Hunter says:
::takes notice of that::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::glances at the FCO, smiles and returns his attention to Heather::

CMO_Llewellyn says:
All: If this is the same mood altering cloud being encountered before, perhaps it was somehow infected with ergot poisoning and was driven mad, and as such our contact with it drove us mad.

XO-O’Mallory says:
CMO: Fascinating...

CSO_MacLeod says:
::agrees with the CMO and observes the crew reaction::

Host CO_Spencer says:
CMO: Are you saying it is a cloud driven mad, racing towards inner space from the Mage's home world?

FCO_Adams says:
::catches the CSO looking in her direction::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::rubs her eyes, what a day::

XO-O’Mallory says:
CSO: Can we neutralize it?

CMO_Llewellyn says:
CO: What ever it was, drove us to xenophobia...

Host Yeoman_Schmutz says:
::notes material level is correct for length of mission::

CTO_Hunter says:
::thinks his OJ need a lot more Russian flavor at this point::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::stands:: CO: We are saying that, maybe, just maybe the cloud is being used as a weapon, after being infected with ergot or something like that.

CMO_Llewellyn says:
CO: If it is going towards inner space then what ever it is has the ability to do that to whatever it contacts.

FCO_Adams says:
::wonders why this cloud didn't affect her::

Host CO_Spencer says:
CMO: Well whatever it is we have to find where it has come from, Starfleet has been notified of the asteroid and will hopefully take care of it. What more information do we have? ::looks around at the table::

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: We don't have this information yet, Commander... we're working on it... the 30% we still have not recognize are driving us crazy...

CMO_Llewellyn says:
All: My main concern here is that this cloud may be the new biological weapon we have been hearing about.

Host Yeoman_Schmutz says:
::uses wrist light and looks in chamber; nothing unusual::

Host Yeoman_Schmutz says:
::drops tricorder in the waste:: Self: Oops.

CMO_Llewellyn says:
All: We have been assuming that it was a virus, but this is something totally unexpected and unusual.

XO-O’Mallory says:
CSO: What would happen if we destroy the asteroid with photon torpedoes?

Host CO_Spencer says:
CMO: Any idea who may have tampered with it, if that is what has happened?

CTO_Hunter says:
CO: Perhaps Starfleet should contact the Klingons and ask them to take care of it...an ship crewed by one race.

CSO_MacLeod says:
ALL: Another thing is, if this is really the weapon, perhaps it has been developed to be used against the Starfleet.

Host Yeoman_Schmutz says:
::Frowns then shrugs::

Host Yeoman_Schmutz says:
::Begins to replace the plate::

CMO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: Yes. A ship that is one race would probably not feel the effects, but when encountering the cloud, it may not do as the federation asks.

Host CO_Spencer says:
CTO: Yes I sent them the information, whatever ships are closest will deal with it.

CSO_MacLeod says:
All:  We are not worried about the asteroid itself...  If they have made it once, they can replicate the weapon.  We have to find the source.

TO_Baggins says:
:: continues to listen intently ::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::said the same thing minutes ago:: CSO: Any idea where in the Nebula it came from?

Host Yeoman_Schmutz says:
::Looks around to ensure no one saw the error::

EO_On says:
:: listening very carefully ::

CMO_Llewellyn says:
::nods agreeing::

CTO_Hunter says:
::wonders if the shields could be modified to protect them from the gas::

Host Yeoman_Schmutz says:
::Last bolt is seated; looks around and moves off to submit his report::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::turns to FCO:: FCO: Do we still have a relative idea where our Ferengi friend went to?

FCO_Adams says:
CO: A faint trail seems to lead to the Cardassian border.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: Astrometrics indicates the asteroid came from near the Mages planet...  the problem is that we don't know the exactly location...  just a point.

CTO_Hunter says:
CSO: Could the shields be modified to protect us?

CSO_MacLeod says:
All:  The race or whoever developed this weapon, if it is the weapon is certainly thinking to fight against Starfleet... remember we are the only ones who have several races serving together in several starships around the space.

Host CO_Spencer says:
CSO: I would say that it is more than enough for Starfleet, but for now that is good enough.  ::picks up her coffee and clears her throat::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CTO: We did modify shields harmonics the last time we've been here... I think the configuration is still on computer.

Host CO_Spencer says:
EO: We need to see what kind of action we can get to the shields in case we come up against this thing again

CTO_Hunter says:
::drinks down the last of his "orange juice"::

CTO_Hunter says:
CSO: How effective it was it?

Host CO_Spencer says:
CSO: Work with the boys in ME on that.

CMO_Llewellyn says:
::realizes she forgot to sit back down, and quickly does so::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::nods to CO::

Host Yeoman_Schmutz says:
::Leaves report on CEO's desk; glad the office is empty::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: Another thing, sensors will get mad inside the nebula.

Host CO_Spencer says:
FCO: Get us a course laid into the Nebula, send a transmission to Starfleet letting them know we are going in, in case we can not get a hold of them once we are in. ::walks around the room::

XO-O’Mallory says:
CO: I will help in astrometrics to get an exact location Captain.

Host CO_Spencer says:
::nods at XO:

FCO_Adams says:
CO: Aye Captain.

Host Yeoman_Schmutz says:
::Doesn't notice the messy footprints he's left in the office::

FCO_Adams says:
::makes a note::

CMO_Llewellyn says:
::turns to follow captain around the room, staying in her chair::

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: Take Ensign Altsen with you, Commander.  He worked on it and he knows the point to start.

XO-O’Mallory says:
CSO: Understood.  Have Altsen meet me there.

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: Aye sir.

EO_On says:
CO: I can program the shields with last resources of this thing again, maybe work on the polarity

Host CO_Spencer says:
EO: Give it a try, and work with the CSO.

EO_On says:
CO: All right, Captain; I will work with CSO MacLeod.

Host Yeoman_Schmutz says:
::Wipes his hands on his trousers and slides off to corner of main engineering, trying to stay out of sight::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO:  I'll have to recalibrate sensors, having in mind we're returning to the nebula.

Host CO_Spencer says:
CTO: I know this sounds terrible but split your teams on decks to the same races. ::winces:: Make sure they all understand why, I think it will be easier to deal with the effects as well if everyone is informed.

CTO_Hunter says:
::moves his chair to keep the CO in sight and off course it squeaks::

Host Yeoman_Schmutz says:
::Mutters:: Self: Sure, some replicators start acting up and I get blamed.

Host CO_Spencer says:
CSO: DO what ever you have to.
ALL: Anything else?

CSO_MacLeod says:
::hears the squeaks once again:: Self: Aahhh!

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: No, sir.  We're done in here.

TO_Baggins says:
:: does not think of everything ::

CMO_Llewellyn says:
::waits patiently::

Host CO_Spencer says:
CTO: Permission to move the chair to the back of the room until someone can get it fixed.

FCO_Adams says:
::inches towards the door::

CTO_Hunter says:
CO: Should we lock all weapons in the armory?

Host CO_Spencer says:
CTO: No, not a good idea, in case we need them

CMO_Llewellyn says:
CO: Captain, I had an idea about the cloud and how we might be able to counter its effects on the crew.

CTO_Hunter says:
CO: Aye sir. But what if we get affected again? ::gets out of the chair::

CTO_Hunter says:
::picks it up and carries it to the corner of the room::

Host CO_Spencer says:
CMO: Lets walk and talk. ::moves to the door::
All: Dismissed.

Host CO_Spencer says:
::turns:: CTO Then I will have to shoot you.... ::smirks:: Just take precautions Hunter, but do not disarm everyone as we go into an almost red alert situation.

CTO_Hunter says:
CO: Aye aye sir. ::does not like the order one bit and thinks...yeah like you could shoot me::

CSO_MacLeod says:
*Altsen* Meet Commander O'Mallory at Astrometrics, I want you to help him on finding the exactly location of the source.

XO-O’Mallory says:
::exits lounge for TL:: Astrometrics. ::doors close and begins to move::

CMO_Llewellyn says:
CO: I am concerned about this plan, because it is not very controllable. ::follows CO::

TO_Baggins says:
:: stands up and looks at CTO ::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::grabs his padd, turns screen off and follows CO and CMO::

FCO_Adams says:
::exits the OL and heads back to her station and prepares a transmission for SFC::

XO-O’Mallory says:
*CSO* Send latest data of asteroids origin to astrometrics.

Host CO_Spencer says:
CMO: Not everything can be comfortable, what is it that bothers you?

EO_On says:
::stands up heading to the CSO::CSO: Tell me more to work at ME.

CMO_Llewellyn says:
CO: I had a thought that the xenophobia triggers extreme anxiety and as such a tranquilizer may be able to calm the effects.

CSO_MacLeod says:
EO: Let's go, Ensign.

FCO_Adams says:
::sends the encoded transmission and then plots a course back to the Nebula and lays it in::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::stops:: Tranquilize the crew?

CSO_MacLeod says:
::enters TL::

EO_On says:
::leaves OL with CSO to ME::

XO-O’Mallory says:
::exits TL and heads for astrometrics, enters::

CSO_MacLeod says:
*XO* Altsen will take the data when arriving at Astrometrics, Commander.  Good luck.

XO-O’Mallory says:
*CSO* Thank you and good work.

CMO_Llewellyn says:
CO: Only enough to calm the nerves... but if it is administered through the ventilation system, it would get to each crew member, the problem is that the dosage would not be controllable... like I said, not a good idea... ::frowns::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::walks onto the bridge::

CMO_Llewellyn says:
CO: But I am thinking.... ::smiles::

CSO_MacLeod says:
<Altsen> ::enters onto astrometrics and sees the XO:: XO: Sir. ::nods::

CTO_Hunter says:
TO: What do you have to say about your performance during the drill?

TO_Baggins says:
CTO: I believe I was slow and I could speed up some.

XO-O’Mallory says:
::begins working on asteroid’s origin, inputting data into charts::

Host CO_Spencer says:
CMO: A good idea, in theory, I just do not think... no sorry.

XO-O’Mallory says:
Alsten: Ensign...lets find us an asteroid’s home.

FCO_Adams says:
CO: Captain, course plotted and laid in.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::arrives on ME:: EO: So, how are shields harmonics configured?

CMO_Llewellyn says:
CO: I understand, I was not happy with it myself, but wanted to present it to you as an option.

Host CO_Spencer says:
*XO* any luck yet? I do not want to go in there without some idea where we are going.

XO-O’Mallory says:
*CO* We’ve just begun...hopefully soon Captain.

Host CO_Spencer says:
*XO* Aye, Captain out.

CSO_MacLeod says:
<Altsen> XO: Yes, sir.  I'll pull up the data right now. ::taps the console::

CTO_Hunter says:
TO: Also remember we are a team.  Call for help and back up next time.

TO_Baggins says:
CTO: Aye sir that is a good idea.

Host CO_Spencer says:
::nods:: CMO: Stay on the bridge we may need you... do you have it ready in case.. maybe a dose administered if needed? ::could send for some from the medical bay::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::looks at the EO:: EO: Ensign?

CTO_Hunter says:
TO: Good, now report to the holodeck for marksmanship.

EO_On says:
CSO: The shields harmonics configuration is working fine.

CMO_Llewellyn says:
CO: Aye. I'll get Doctor Press to bring me up some right away.

CTO_Hunter says:
::heads for the bridge::

FCO_Adams says:
::taps her console lightly, her fingers playing across the smooth surface::

CSO_MacLeod says:
EO: Ok, let's take a look at them... we'll certainly need to make some modifications... ::moves toward a console::

TO_Baggins says:
:: follows CTO on to the bridge and then turns to TL ::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::nods:: CMO: You may take… ::points at the third chair::
FCO: In my Ready Room please for a moment. ::heads to it::

EO_On says:
:: looks back at CSO, already give the answer::

CTO_Hunter says:
::Heads for the main tac station::

FCO_Adams says:
CO: Aye sir. ::stands and heads to the ready room::

XO-O’Mallory says:
Alsten: Magnify chart 134.7 by 3x.

EO_On says:
:: Moves to a console to work with the CSO::

CMO_Llewellyn says:
*MO Press* Please bring up to the bridge my medkit and several vials of the light sedative we discussed earlier.

CSO_MacLeod says:
<Altsen> XO: Sir, we have all the last information about the asteroid source.  It came from some point between sector 1-0-4 mark 4 and 1-1-2 mark 9. ::taps the console yet::

FCO_Adams says:
::enters the ready room:: CO: You wanted to see me Captain?

XO-O’Mallory says:
<Press> *CMO* Understood.  On my way.

EO_On says:
CSO: What do we do now?

Host CO_Spencer says:
::moves into the ready room, puts her cold coffee on her desk and turns facing Adams::

FCO_Adams says:
::gulps::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::smiles:: Don’t look scared you did not do anything..

FCO_Adams says:
::smiles slightly::

XO-O’Mallory says:
Alsten: Anyway to get more precise.  Maybe materials origin?

TO_Baggins says:
:: enters TL :: Computer : Holodeck 1.

CTO_Hunter says:
::notices the CMO sitting on the bridge and increase his mental shields::

CSO_MacLeod says:
EO: Take a look at these levels... ::points at the console:: We're never going to get inside the nebula with shields up in that configuration... Enhance it with 12.5%.

Host CO_Spencer says:
FCO: I am sorry I have a headache and may have appeared gruff, but it is for a good reason I asked you in here, I should wait but I do not like to go into situations with things undone if i can help it.

FCO_Adams says:
CO: Captain, is there something wrong?

XO-O’Mallory says:
<Press> ::Grabs med kit and vials and heads out of sickbay::

EO_On says:
CSO: Aye, sir. ::moving the sensors and enhancing the shields up to 12.5%::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::turns around and gets the box off of her desk:: FCO: No nothing wrong, I wanted to give you this. ::takes the new pip out of the box and moves towards her pinning it on::

XO-O’Mallory says:
Alsten: Magnify those sectors on the map for a closer look.

CSO_MacLeod says:
<Altsen>XO: Anyways we have in our hands, sir.  I'll get the azimuth back for about 7 light years... perhaps we can get something... ::works on it::

FCO_Adams says:
CO: Captain? ::looks shocked::

TO_Baggins says:
:: exits TL and walks to Holodeck 1 ::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::holds out her hand for a shake and smiles:: FCO You do fine work Miss Adams, I am proud to have you aboard my ship.

CMO_Llewellyn says:
::waits patiently for press::

FCO_Adams says:
::takes the Captain's hand:: CO: Thank you Captain. This is a real surprise.

EO_On says:
CSO: Do you think we need the shields up to 15%? It might be a little too exaggerated, but I think will be safe.

XO-O’Mallory says:
<Press> ;;arrives on Bridge and goes to CMO::  CMO: Here is the medkit and vials, sir.

FCO_Adams says:
::smiles broadly::

Host CO_Spencer says:
FCO: It should not be, but I am glad it is.

CSO_MacLeod says:
EO: Good job, now let's check the conduit number 3...  It's configured to low levels, we have to replace it.  Do we have a number 5 or 6?

CMO_Llewellyn says:
MO Press: Thank you.

TO_Baggins says:
:: reaches holodeck 1 :: *CTO* I am in Holodeck 1.

CTO_Hunter says:
::tries not to look at the CMO::

XO-O’Mallory says:
<Press> CMO: Sickbay reports quiet, but on medical standby

CTO_Hunter says:
*TO*Very well begin your drills.

FCO_Adams says:
::stands straight and salutes the Captain:: CO: Again, thank you sir.

CSO_MacLeod says:
<Altsen> XO: That's the best I can get from outside the nebula.

XO-O’Mallory says:
Alsten: Anything yet?

Host CO_Spencer says:
FCO: Well I guess we should get back... ::surprised and pleased she salutes back::

TO_Baggins says:
*CTO* Aye.  :: enters holodeck and program starts ::

CSO_MacLeod says:
<Altsen> XO: Magnifying... ::tries to magnify as XO asks::

CTO_Hunter says:
::checks his board::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::holds out her hand to wave the FCO back to the deck and follows::

FCO_Adams says:
CO: Yes sir. Course plotted and laid in, awaiting your command sir.

EO_On says:
CSO: The low levels conduits we can replace it with number 5.

XO-O’Mallory says:
::looks a bit defeated::  Alsten: Ok, send that data to FCO and CO.  I want to keep working on it though.

FCO_Adams says:
::exits the ready room and walks over to her station smiling::

XO-O’Mallory says:
*CO* O'Mallory to Captain.

CSO_MacLeod says:
<Altsen> XO: Nothing yet, sir... still searching for something... unusual...

TO_Baggins says:
:: draws phaser and targets first target ::

Host CO_Spencer says:
*XO* Yes Doc. ::sits down at her chair::

CSO_MacLeod says:
<Altsen> XO: Aye sir. ::sends the data to FCO console::

CTO_Hunter says:
::looks at his tactical personal roster::

TO_Baggins says:
:: fires then moves on to target two in only a few seconds ::

CSO_MacLeod says:
EO: Replace it.  Let's see what we can get.

XO-O’Mallory says:
*CO* We have sent the best point of origin to you and FCO.  The nebula is causing the sensors some problems still.

Host CO_Spencer says:
FCO: Take us in. ::points at the screen and the Nebula, dang but she hates it::

EO_On says:
::replacing low level conduits number 3 by 5::

XO-O’Mallory says:
*CO* Alsten and I are continuing to narrow it down.

FCO_Adams says:
CO: Aye Captain. ::turns the Gryphon towards the Nebula::

Host CO_Spencer says:
     *ALL* Prepare to enter the Nebula. ::can almost here eerie music playing in the background::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::checks sensors, still working fine, out of the nebula, low interference::

XO-O’Mallory says:
*CSO* Continue to send down all new data to astrometrics.

TO_Baggins says:
::hits targets 2,3,4,5,6,7 in only a few seconds and feels proud  ::

FCO_Adams says:
CO: ETA 15 minutes to the Nebula's edge at warp 6.

CMO_Llewellyn says:
::loads up a few hyposprays with the sedative::

EO_On says:
CSO: It's replaced; I’m getting an odd reading for the waste recycling bin.

Host CO_Spencer says:
FCO: Bring us to impulse when we are within a few minutes.

FCO_Adams says:
CO: Aye sir.

CSO_MacLeod says:
EO: Good job, let's give it a shot. ::runs a diagnostics of shields harmonics::

XO-O’Mallory says:
<Press> CMO: If nothing else, I shall return to sickbay.

CTO_Hunter says:
::looks up form his panel and ends up starting at the CMO...suddenly he is assaulted with memories of his past and his mental shields drop for about 30 seconds and his thoughts are broadcast out::

CSO_MacLeod says:
*XO* Aye sir...  and be ready, sensors will get offline in a few seconds...  We're not able to compensate the interference.

XO-O’Mallory says:
*CSO* Understood.

TO_Baggins says:
:: finishes off targets and prepares to star another simulation ::

CMO_Llewellyn says:
::hears Hunter’s thoughts... reels back a moment before regaining composure::

CTO_Hunter says:
::struggles to regain his mental controls::

EO_On says:
::looking to the shields harmonics diagnostics::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::looks at CMO: Problem ?

FCO_Adams says:
::maintains warp 6::

CMO_Llewellyn says:
CO: No... no problem, Sir... ::holds forehead:: I am fine.

CSO_MacLeod says:
*CO* Captain, we're still working on shields, but sensors will get offline as soon as we enter the nebula, we're not being able to compensate the interference.  Perhaps we can have low sensors to Flight Control and that's all.

XO-O’Mallory says:
<Press> ::goes to help CMO::  CMO: Are you alright?  ::begins scanning::

CTO_Hunter says:
CO: Shall we go to red Alert?

TO_Baggins says:
*CTO* I have finished simulation 1 target practice.

Host CO_Spencer says:
::she does not look fine:: CMO: Alright.

FCO_Adams says:
::checks sensor readings::

CMO_Llewellyn says:
::stands up stiffly:: I am fine... really.

Host CO_Spencer says:
*CSO* If you think that is best.

CTO_Hunter says:
~~~CMO: Sorry~~~~

CSO_MacLeod says:
<Altsen> ::pull up extra data about the point:: XO: We are having too much interference...

Host Tim says:
ACTION: GRYPHON IS NOW ONLY 3 MINUTES FROM EDGE OF NEBULA; SENSORS GO SNOWY THEN CLEAR, MUCH REDUCED RANGE AND SENSATIVITY.

EO_On says:
CSO: I get an odd reading for the waste recycling bin.

FCO_Adams says:
CO: Approaching the Nebula sir. Dropping to impulse.

XO-O’Mallory says:
Alsten: Sensors are back, lets go fishing...sorry, just an expression.

CSO_MacLeod says:
EO: What kind of reading?

Host CO_Spencer says:
::feels her stomach churn on the anticipation:: FCO: Guide us in, slow ever so slowly.

FCO_Adams says:
::looks at the Captain and nods::

EO_On says:
CSO: Minor glitch... just a bump.

CSO_MacLeod says:
<Altsen> ::smiles:: XO: Aye sir! ::gets back to work, taking advantage now the sensors are back::

FCO_Adams says:
::takes a deep breath and begins to enter the Nebula::

EO_On says:
::moving the sensors at getting to normal::

CSO_MacLeod says:
<Altsen> ::notices the readings are not enough:: XO: Sir, I think we have a problem...

Host CO_Spencer says:
*XO* As soon as your screens are worthless please return to the bridge.

CTO_Hunter says:
::Would feel better if they were are red alert::

XO-O’Mallory says:
Alsten: Can we trace the asteroid’s path from the nebula...like a trail?

CSO_MacLeod says:
EO: Can you check it out?

EO_On says:
CSO: I am working on it, in a few seconds it will be normal.

XO-O’Mallory says:
*CO* Understood Captain...on my way soon.

FCO_Adams says:
CO: Captain, helm is operating normally.

CSO_MacLeod says:
<Altsen> XO: Sensor range is 8 light years maximum now... I'm not picking up a clear reading from wherever we want.

Host CO_Spencer says:
FCO: The asteroid glowed.. can we get a visual off of any of the screens?

TO_Baggins says:
:: awaits CTO's response ::

XO-O’Mallory says:
Alsten: Ok...try to keep working on it.  I am returning to the Bridge.

FCO_Adams says:
CO: Trying to clear it now sir.

CSO_MacLeod says:
<Altsen> XO: Aye sir. ::still working on it, sensors are flicking::

XO-O’Mallory says:
::exits astrometrics for TL::  Bridge.

Host CO_Spencer says:
::holds hands in lap leaning forward to see better::

EO_On says:
:: he is at his console, the reading for the waste recycling bin is now normal:: CSO: It's normal now.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::examines the configuration once again::

FCO_Adams says:
::adjusts the controls to get a visual of the asteroid::

Host CO_Spencer says:
*CSO* How are our shields doing?

CSO_MacLeod says:
EO: Good.  Let's run it in real now.

EO_On says:
CSO: Can you run the diagnostic again, Sir?

TO_Baggins says:
:: got no response so decided to return to the bridge ::

TO_Baggins says:
:: borders TL and heads for bridge ::

XO-O’Mallory says:
::exits TL onto Bridge::  CO: Captain, not much luck yet.  Ensign Alsten continues the search.  ::sits next to CO::

Host CO_Spencer says:
XO: I was afraid of that.. we will just have to use luck today.

XO-O’Mallory says:
::looks over ship status::

XO-O’Mallory says:
CO: Irish luck, I assume.  ::smiles a bit::

TO_Baggins says:
:: exits on bridge and goes to Tac ::

CSO_MacLeod says:
*CO* Let's check if it's working, captain.  I'll raise the shields... now! ::raises shields::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::looks at the screen::

TO_Baggins says:
:: on bridge at Tac :: CTO : What would you like me to do?

CTO_Hunter says:
::looks up from his board for a second and looks at the CMO::

Host CO_Spencer says:
*CSO* We have some visual, thank you.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::observes the shields performance, above what he was expecting::

FCO_Adams says:
CO: Captain, visual is poor.

CMO_Llewellyn says:
::looks angrily at the CTO::

Host CO_Spencer says:
FCO: Tread lightly and not through it

CSO_MacLeod says:
<Altsen> ::observes the sensors and checks it with databanks::

CMO_Llewellyn says:
::Thinks: How dare he...::

CTO_Hunter says:
::sees the angry look on the CMO’s face and looks back down at his board then hears the TO:: TO: Take over the tactical station.

Host CO_Spencer says:
::Sees CMO’s look:: <w>: Is there a problem? ::looks to CTO too::

FCO_Adams says:
CO: I will try my best Captain.

CMO_Llewellyn says:
CO: No sir. ::smiles::

TO_Baggins says:
:: takes over Tac ::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::raises brow at them both moving to stand by the science console::

CTO_Hunter says:
::heads for the TL::

CSO_MacLeod says:
*CO* You're welcome, captain, but it is still not good, Ensign On will keep trying to amplify the field, I'm returning to the bridge now.

Host CO_Spencer says:
TO: Come here please.

Host CO_Spencer says:
*CSO* Thank you.

TO_Baggins says:
:: hears CO and complies :: CO : Aye sir.

Host CO_Spencer says:
TO: Keep an eye on this for me. ::points to the console::

TO_Baggins says:
:: heads for CO ::

CSO_MacLeod says:
<Altsen> ::notices something unusual:: *CSO* Sir, the farther we move inside the nebula, the more the asteroid's trail matches with the cloud.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::exits ME, enters TL:: Bridge.

FCO_Adams says:
::maneuvers close to but not into the dust clouds inside the nebula::

Host CO_Spencer says:
TO: It is our shield strength. ::moves to stand by the CTO not saying a word::

TO_Baggins says:
CO : Yes Ma’am. :: looks at console ::

CSO_MacLeod says:
*Altsen* Send the information to SCI 1; I'm arriving in there.

CMO_Llewellyn says:
::hears what is being said at science, goes there::

EO_On says:
:: looks the reading of the shields as he sees the CSO that is not please::*CSO* What do you think that I should do now with the shields?

XO-O’Mallory says:
CO: Captain, we could reconfigure the main deflector dish to increase sensor range.

TO_Baggins says:
:: monitors shield strength closely ::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::nods at the XO:: XO do you think that is wise now?

CSO_MacLeod says:
::enters the bridge:: CO: Captain, Ensign Altsen told me that as the farther we move inside the nebula, the more the asteroid's trail matches with the cloud.

EO_On says:
*CSO* What do you think that I should do now with the shields?

XO-O’Mallory says:
CO: Might help in locating where that asteroid came from...

Host CO_Spencer says:
::turns to face the CTO and under her breath:: CTO: I do not know what is going on but it will end here and now.. do I make myself clear?

FCO_Adams says:
::watches her sensors closely and monitors their passage through the nebula::

CTO_Hunter says:
CTO: Yes sir.

CSO_MacLeod says:
*EO* You'll have to find a way to amplify the field, we need the shields stronger than ever.

Host Tim says:
ACTION: VIEW SCREEN AND SENSOR LIGHT UP WITH A MIXTURE OF RED AND GREEN FLICKERING LIGHTS

Host Tim says:
