USS LUNA MISSION
Stardate 10105.06

Host Shann says:
Last week on the USS Luna....

The Luna had a short leave. Currently they crew is hoping the engineering can fix the malfunctions that occurred.

Admiral Karen Winter has requested that the Luna investigate an anomaly that has appeared in a near by sector. The Luna is to gather information and report back to SF of its findings.  No other ship activity in the area.

We pick up en route to the anomaly ............

XO_Merced says:
::reading reports, keeping an eye on the scrolling long-range sensor data as it displays in a column on his console::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: in her office polishing her bat'leth::

CSO_Monroe says:
::Sitting at SCI I Scanning the System::

XO_Merced says:
FCO:  Lt.  Doole.  What is the ETA to system?

FCO_Doole says:
XO: 5 minutes

XO_Merced says:
FCO: Thank you.  ::turns head to SCI I:: CSO:  Anything on sensors yet?

Host CO_Lu says:
::enters the bridge from the Captains ready room::

XO_Merced says:
::looks over at the sound of the doors and nods toward the Captain::

XO_Merced says:
CO:  We are about four minutes from the system sir.

CSO_Monroe says:
XO: Nothing yet. But still scanning the system.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: begins monitoring the bridge.::

Host CO_Lu says:
::nods::

XO_Merced says:
::turning head back::  CSO: Thank you.  CO:  Did the admiral give any indication what we were looking for?

Host CO_Lu says:
::sits down in his seat::

Host CO_Lu says:
XO: Commander, I'm also in the dark.

Host Shann says:
ACTION:  The Anomaly  appears on sensors as they enter the system

XO_Merced says:
::nods::  CO: Aye sir.  ::goes back to reading reports::

CSO_Monroe says:
XO: Sensors picked up something in this sector.

XO_Merced says:
::looks up::  CSO:  Can you put it on screen?

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: heads out her office to the TL, :: Deck One.::

Host Shann says:
ACTION:  The anomaly is large a white with white gases and matter circling into the center.  A lot of radiation is coming from it mostly infrared, and gamma radiation.

CSO_Monroe says:
XO: Aye. ::Puts the anomaly on the screen::

XO_Merced says:
::blinks at the bright screen::  CSO:  Can you filter the light down a bit?

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: exits the TL, straightens her uniform and enters the Bridge, moving behind the CO.::

XO_Merced says:
FCO:  How far away is the anomaly?

Host CO_Lu says:
FCO: keep us a safe distance from the Gamma Radiation.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: glances at the anomaly.::

CSO_Monroe says:
XO: I am filtering it now to 50% darkness.

Host CO_Lu says:
::hears some footsteps::

Host CO_Lu says:
CMO: Doctor?

FCO_Doole says:
CO: Yes sir. XO: Anomaly is bearing 214 Mark 6

XO_Merced says:
::blinks to clear eyes::  CSO:  Thank you.  What do you see so far? ::indicating the sensor display::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
CO:: Sir, just looking at what we are dealing with.:

XO_Merced says:
FCO:  Yes but how far away is it?

FCO_Doole says:
XO: 2500 Meters

XO_Merced says:
FCO:  Bring us to a stop.

XO_Merced says:
CSO:  Is there any radiation we need to worry about?

CSO_Monroe says:
XO: Mostly white gas and matter circling in the center.  There is a lot of radiation coming from it, infrared and gamma.

Host CO_Lu says:
TO: lets raise the shields.

FCO_Doole says:
XO: Full stop. ::brings ship to a stop::

XO_Merced says:
::notices that Tactical has gotten sick and left the bridge::  CMO: Doctor would you mind? ::indicating the tactical station::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
XO: Aye Sir, my pleasure as always to serve

XO_Merced says:
CSO:  What is a safe distance for us to examine it from?

Host CO_Lu says:
::brings up his console and taps a few buttons::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: move to Tactical and  raises shields.::

Host Shann says:
ACTION:  Shields raised

Host Shann says:
ACTION:  Ship is at full stop

XO_Merced says:
CMO:  How are shields being affected by the radiation?

CSO_Monroe says:
XO: I suggest a Class 1 probe and approx. 2500 with shields up.

Host CO_Lu says:
CSO: Can you find out what’s causing this anomaly?

CSO_Monroe says:
<2500 km>

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
XO: Sir, shield holding at 100%. No affect.:

CSO_Monroe says:
CO: Possibly, I need time to compute the dimensions.

XO_Merced says:
FCO:  Move us back out to 2500 Km from the anomaly Lt.

Host CO_Lu says:
CSO: Well if the probe helps you have permission to send a probe.

CSO_Monroe says:
CSO: Aye.  ::Launches Class 1 Probe::

FCO_Doole says:
::reverses engines, and brings ship to full stop at 2500 KM::

XO_Merced says:
CMO:  Very good.  Are there any ships in the area?

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: prepares to modulate the shield and compensate for radioactive surges.::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: scans for other ships in the area::

CSO_Monroe says:
::Starts to compute the readings on the computer::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
XO: Sir, some Federation authorized trade vessels on the edge of the sector, no others with in range.:

FCO_Doole says:
::reading sensors::

Host Shann says:
ACTION:  As the probe enters the anomaly the anomaly begins to writhe, and radiation levels go up.

XO_Merced says:
CO:  Sir.  Just because this is an unknown, I recommend Yellow alert.

FCO_Doole says:
XO: Radiation levels rising

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: attempts to compensate for the additional radiation.::

Host CO_Lu says:
ALL: All hands yellow alert.

XO_Merced says:
CMO:  Are there any... CSO:  What are you getting from the probe?

FCO_Doole says:
XO: That is no normal anomaly, I don't think.

Host Shann says:
ACTION:  The gravimetric forces suddenly strengthen 100 fold.  The ship is beginning to be dragged into the anomaly.

CSO_Monroe says:
CO: Sir, Radiations Levels rose as the probe went in.

XO_Merced says:
::falls into his seat as the IDF tries to compensate::  FCO: REPORT!

Host CO_Lu says:
FCO: Lt. Full reverse!

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
*SICKBAY*: This is Dr. Ravenprowler, I am on the bridge, and will remain, Dr. Eyorre you have Sickbay, Ravenprowler out.::

Host Shann says:
ACTION:  The ships is still being pulled towards it

FCO_Doole says:
::engages full reverse::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
XO: Sir, shields are holding.:

CSO_Monroe says:
XO: The Sensors on the probe overloaded.... ::Pulls up the schematic diagram before the sensors on the probe fried::

Host Shann says:
ACTION:  Just as the ship enters the anomaly there is a blinding white flash and everyone is briefly disoriented.

FCO_Doole says:
XO: I told....

XO_Merced says:
::blinking::  FCO:  Are we still being pulled in?

Host CO_Lu says:
::closes his eyes::

FCO_Doole says:
XO: Yes.

Host CO_Lu says:
ALL: All stations report?

Host CO_Lu says:
CMO: Damage report?

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
<DR, Eeyorre>*CMO*: Aye Ma'am,:

XO_Merced says:
FCO: Use the gravity.  Slingshot us away from it.  Full engines forward.

FCO_Doole says:
CO: Helm Control intact

Host Shann says:
ACTION: As the crew begins to see clearly again they see people dressed in all white formal dress. (I.e. white evening gown for the blonde women and tux for the blonde headed man.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: scans for damage::

CSO_Monroe says:
::Tries to look up:: CO: No idea what happened.

Host Shann says:
ACTION: There is no damage but weapons aren't working

XO_Merced says:
CMO: Security!  Intruder Alert!

Host Shann says:
<MAN> Bridge:  Welcome............::hands open in greeting::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
XO: Sir, no damage, weapons off line, :: sounds the intruder alert and ducks under her station.::

FCO_Doole says:
XO: I don't think it'll work, but here goes. ::attempts to use the gravity as a slingshot:: CO: I'm not sensing hostility from the intruders

XO_Merced says:
::stands up at the Captain's side::

Host Shann says:
XO:  please me mean you no harm ......

CSO_Monroe says:
::Grabs his phaser under the SCI console, and points it at the man::

Host CO_Lu says:
CSO: Stand down..

XO_Merced says:
::hold up a hand keeping the CMO and CSO at bay::

Host CO_Lu says:
::stands up::

Host Shann says:
ACTION:  When sensors are run, or some one looks out a window all they see is pure white

Host Shann says:
<WOMAN> CO:  Welcome ....

CSO_Monroe says:
::Puts down the phaser:: CO: Aye

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: unsnaps her taj and slides it out of it's sheath, stands behind station keeping it hidden, and carefully watching over her Captain.::

Host CO_Lu says:
Man: Hello, I'm Max Lu of the Federation Starship Luna.

Host CO_Lu says:
Man: What is your purpose here?

Host Shann says:
<MAN>  CO:  Glad to meet you , welcome to our home.

XO_Merced says:
::keeping protective watch over the CO::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: growls low in her throat ::

Host CO_Lu says:
CMO: Stand Down Lieutenant.

FCO_Doole says:
::stands up and stands directly over Co and XO to protect them

XO_Merced says:
::turns toward the growling CMO, eyeing her::

XO_Merced says:
FCO:  Maintain your station Lt.

Host Shann says:
<WOMEN> ALL: we mean you no harm.  There is food in your observation lounge if you like.

Host CO_Lu says:
MAN/Women: And what’s the occasion?

Host Shann says:
<Women>  CO:  how you say... we are the ..welcome wagon?

FCO_Doole says:
XO: I don't sense ANY hostile intentions, but I rather be at your side, if it is all the same to you, please.

Host CO_Lu says:
Women: Welcome wagon??

XO_Merced says:
FCO:  I need you to tell me where we are ::gesturing to the white screen::  That is more important.

CSO_Monroe says:
::Grabs a tricorder::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: continues to glower darkly at the intruders.::

Host CO_Lu says:
Women/Man: Do you two have names?

XO_Merced says:
CMO: ::low voice::  Do these people register on the internal sensors?

Host Shann says:
<MAN> CO:  My name is Lou, and this is Lillith

Host CO_Lu says:
Nameis/Lillith: Welcome to the Luna.

Host CO_Lu says:
Nameis: Is this your "Home"?

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: scans the intruders, and finds they do not show up on sensors, and shakes her head at the XO in response.::

FCO_Doole says:
XO: According to sensors, we are everywhere, yet nowhere at the same time

Host Shann says:
CO:  Yes this is our home along with several others.  But we wanted to be the first to welcome you

XO_Merced says:
FCO:  Where does the directional record put us?

FCO_Doole says:
XO: It isn't registering.

XO_Merced says:
CMO: ::low voice::  Contact emergency stations around the ship.  See if there are any more of these on the ship.

CSO_Monroe says:
::Looks at the guests::

Host CO_Lu says:
Nameis: And where would this place be?

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: flips her taj over and tucks it into her sleeve.  Sends an emergency message to all stations to scan for others of this anomaly on the ship.::

Host Shann says:
ACTION:  No other's on ship

Host CO_Lu says:
::glances back at the others on the Bridge::

Host Shann says:
CO: It is our "home"

Host CO_Lu says:
CO: Well then, lets make our way to the observation lounge.

XO_Merced says:
CSO:  Are you getting anything at all from the tricorder?

CSO_Monroe says:
XO: Nothing so far, sir.

Host Shann says:
ACTION:  laid out on the table are all kinds of foods from all the native lands, also different drinks

XO_Merced says:
::watches the CO head toward the lounge doors and gestures with his head for the CMO to follow::

XO_Merced says:
CSO/FCO:  We need to learn all we can about where we are and what this place is.

FCO_Doole says:
XO: Working on it.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
XO: Permission to stand at station.:

CSO_Monroe says:
XO: Aye.

XO_Merced says:
CMO:  Denied.  Go with the Captain.

FCO_Doole says:
CSO: Sensors reading anything at all?

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: slaves her station to the TO on duty and reluctantly follows the XO.::

CSO_Monroe says:
FCO: Check the distance traveled.  I'll double check the Sensor logs.

Host CO_Lu says:
::enters the observation lounge::

FCO_Doole says:
::checking::

XO_Merced says:
CSO:  Can you dim the screen some more.  That white is becoming annoying.

XO_Merced says:
FCO:  How are shields?  There was some radiation before we entered.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: follows the CO, and takes a position near the door, with a clear line of site to the CO.::

CSO_Monroe says:
XO: I'll dim it to 70% darkness.

Host CO_Lu says:
Computer: Dim view ports.

CSO_Monroe says:
::Checks the sensor logs::

FCO_Doole says:
XO: Shields are still holding at 100%

Host Shann says:
ACTION:  View ports dim

Host CO_Lu says:
::looks at all the different foods and drinks..

Host CO_Lu says:
::

Host Shann says:
ACTION: No radiation problems at moment

Host Shann says:
<Woman> All:  eat, drink.. this is for you.

FCO_Doole says:
CSO: Unable to determine distance traveled, since I no longer have a point of reference.

Host CO_Lu says:
Nameis: Why have you brought us here?

FCO_Doole says:
CSO; IF we moved at all.

XO_Merced says:
CSO:  Thank you.

XO_Merced says:
FCO:  Is there any radiation at all?

FCO_Doole says:
XO: No.

Host Shann says:
CO:  You sent something to harm us and we could only protect ourselves

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: figures defense parameters in her head, and plans an escape for the CO should this get violent.::

XO_Merced says:
CSO:  Any signs of our probe?

CSO_Monroe says:
XO: No, sir. just vanished

Host CO_Lu says:
::looks around the figuring evacuation path::

XO_Merced says:
CSO:  Fire another probe.

FCO_Doole says:
XO: Unwise

XO_Merced says:
FCO:  Why is that Lt.?

Host CO_Lu says:
Nameis: That was not a weapon, but a probe to investigate this place.

CSO_Monroe says:
::Fires another probe::

Host Shann says:
Co: Yes but it was hurting our "home"  as you call it. We couldn’t' allow it.

Host CO_Lu says:
::~~~~~ DO NOT launch another PROBE~~~~~~::

Host Shann says:
ACTION: The woman taps the man on the shoulder.

FCO_Doole says:
XO: The last probe we sent caused it to writhe, like we hurt it

Host Shann says:
<Man>  All: aren't you going to sit and eat?

FCO_Doole says:
XO: It would be unwise to cause further pain intentionally

XO_Merced says:
FCO:  I think you are anthropomorphizing this... But I appreciate your concerns.

XO_Merced says:
CSO: Are we receiving any telemetry?

Host CO_Lu says:
Man:: Smiles:: :Yes looks good.

CSO_Monroe says:
XO: Not yet, sir.

FCO_Doole says:
XO: Antho....what?

XO_Merced says:
::wonders idly if Ensign Flibainite ever overcame his triskadekaphobia::  CSO:  We can still see it, right?

FCO_Doole says:
XO: What is anthopo...whatever the big word was?

Host Shann says:
ACTION:  The Women snaps her fingers and gifts with nametags appear at the seats.

Host CO_Lu says:
::sits down at a chair::

Host CO_Lu says:
::motions Tigs to sit down::

XO_Merced says:
FCO: Anthropomorphizing - Attributing human or characteristics to something that is not.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: Reluctantly sits down ::

Host CO_Lu says:
::sees an aquamarine color drink and grabs the glass and sniffs it::

CSO_Monroe says:
XO: Sir?

Host CO_Lu says:
::takes a sip of the drink::

Host Shann says:
<MAN> : All open your special gifts they were made just for you

XO_Merced says:
CSO:  We can still see the probe on sensors, right?

Host CO_Lu says:
MAN: You shouldn't have.

Host CO_Lu says:
::motions Tigs to eat/drink or open the present::

Host Shann says:
<WOMAN>  All:  Do you like?

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: Slowly brings her hands to her neck and shakes her head at the CO::

CSO_Monroe says:
XO: Sir, it disappeared!

Host CO_Lu says:
Woman: Its sort of sweet yet it has a tart aftertaste? What is it?

XO_Merced says:
CSO:  How far out from launch did it disappear?

Host CO_Lu says:
::glares at Tigs::

Host Shann says:
<Women> CO:  a specialty wine.

Host CO_Lu says:
FCO:~~~~~~thought I ordered no more probe launches~~~~~~~~~~.

Host CO_Lu says:
::smiles::

Host Shann says:
<Women>CO:   please open your gift...

Host CO_Lu says:
::hesitates for a bit::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: narrows her eyes at the CO and sniffs at her plate.::

Host CO_Lu says:
:: opens up the box::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: sneaks some of the food off her plate and drops it on the floor, making it look like she has eaten something.::

Host Shann says:
ACTION:  When the first person opens their box each gift pops open and inside is the epitome of their worst fears, and nightmares.

CSO_Monroe says:
XO: It disappeared upon hitting the horizon

FCO_Doole says:
CO:~~~~You did. Talk to the XO about it~~~~

Host CO_Lu says:
::looks inside:: 

Host CO_Lu says:
::cringes::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: knocks her  box on to the floor with a shriek.::

XO_Merced says:
CSO:  ::eyes the view screen thinking, "What horizon?::  Okay then.  Did we get any sensor data from it at all?

CSO_Monroe says:
XO: No data, was recovered, it just vanished.

Host CO_Lu says:
::fear is illogical, come on max remember what S'toran and Alex taught you::

Host Shann says:
ACTION:  EVERYONE is trapped in his or her own fears and nightmares

XO_Merced says:
FCO:  Prepare to drop a stationary...  ::hearing the odd sound of a klingon shrieking::  CSO/FCO:  You two with me.  Bring phaser.
