U.S.S. Luna

Ooo Baby, Baby It's a Wild World.

Stardate 10108.19

Host Chris_N says:

SYNOPSIS:  On a routine science patrol, Runabout U.S.S. St. Lawrence has detected an early form of warp propulsion emanating from a system in sector 19853-122.  With difficulties to the ship's systems, a command decision was made not to investigate further.

Having been assigned the duty to investigate for a possible First Contact situation, the U.S.S. Luna is approximately fifteen minutes from where the U.S.S. St. Lawrence was located when she detected the warp signature.

CNS: Any luck finding a safe route?

EO_Katira says:
::Eyes the captain::

CNS_Luchena says:
CSO:  Nothing practical so far.  I'll keep working on it.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CNS: Understood.

Adm_Klord says:
CO: I assure you she is subject to the most rigorous SF discipline...at your command of course. I would never meddle in a captain’s command of his ship. Perhaps more experienced would be better... but also there is something to be said for obscurity. ::smiles::

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
CSO_Brehgorn: Those warp signatures seem to be moving around the 4th planet in this system.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: Hears voices chanting  in Klingon, the death wails raising, she turns and looks back to the light and a face that is beckoning her back.::

XO_West says:
::Looks over at CO, raises eyebrow::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CTO: Noted. CNS: Please calculate our destination as the 4th planet in the system while trying to find a good path.

EO_Katira says:
::Thinks - right... place me in obscurity where you no longer need deal with me.  A hand squeezes her heart, but she pushes the anger to the fore instead::

Adm_Klord says:
CO: I have read reports of Jokeg. Perhaps he would be a good one to apprentice her to?

CNS_Luchena says:
CSO:  Its way too dense.  I can't find any way through.  Maybe we could blast a few of the asteroids out of the way?

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: In sickbay monitors sound that the CMO  has arrested, the whole staff runs to revive her.::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CNS: I would be hesitant to destroy astral bodies in a non-Federation system, but I'll note that as an option.

CEO_Jokeg says:
::punches the top of the JT a few times:: Hit me one more time...

Host CO_Merced says:
::is personally irked at having the Luna called 'obscure' but keeps his face smooth:: ADM: That would be a possibility.  ::pauses:: Can we continue, just you and I?

EO_Katira says:
::Jokeg... has heard that name before, but not where::

EO_Katira says:
::Glares at the captain::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CTO: Is there any way you can configure the shields to deflect asteroids of this size at impulse speeds?

Adm_Klord says:
CO: By all means. Katira, please stay with the XO:: his look pleading her to behave herself::

CNS_Luchena says:
::mind wanders back to the CMO's status::

CEO_Jokeg says:
::looks at the JT ceiling a moment more, then finishes connecting the cables::

CNS_Luchena says:
*MO*:  How's the CMO doing?

EO_Katira says:
::Bites her tongue and turns abruptly to leave the room.::

Host CO_Merced says:
XO: Please arrange quarters for our guest.

:: Working feverishly the staff manages to restore a heart beat and the CMO lives once again, but is still gravely ill.::

Adm_Klord says:
::sits and faces the CO::

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
CSO_Brehgorn: Yes. We would have to re-enforce the hull structure to maintain the shields.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
<MO> CNS : She just arrested we have her back now but she is NOT doing well, Sir.:

XO_West says:
CO:  yes, sir. :: motioning for Katria to leave the room:

EO_Katira says:
::Stops outside of the RR doors and waits for the slow XO::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CTO:  I suppose that's not possible outside of a station, right?

XO_West says:
::Enter the bridge again ::

CNS_Luchena says:
*MO*:  Thank you.

CNS_Luchena says:
::worries::

CEO_Jokeg says:
*Chief Jacobs*: Okay Chief, reroute power back though 34B.::watches the junction box::

Host CO_Merced says:
::waits till the doors close behind them::  ADM: Admiral.  What is the point to this?  It is evident your daughter has not chosen this.

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
CSO_Brehgorn: No it’s possible. Just will take some time to reconfigure the shields to deflect the asteroids with the main deflector dish.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: Tigs turns and moves toward the light and  a  young face she does not recognize, moving seemingly upward as she ascends from the brink  of death.::

EO_Katira says:
::Eyes flashing fire, she looks at the XO::

XO_West says:
CNS: would you please arrange quarters for Katria temporarily.

CEO_Jokeg says:
::watches as the box hums::Ahhhh music to my ears.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CTO: Can you give me a time estimate?

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  Crew or guest quarters, Sir?

XO_West says:
CSO: Report!

CEO_Jokeg says:
::begins singing a Klingon Opera::

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
CSO_Brehgorn: Approximately 3 to 4 hours.

EO_Katira says:
::Likes the word temporary and settles a bit.  Turns to look at the counselor::

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
CSO_Brehgorn: Shall I get started?

XO_West says:
CNS: Guest quarters, I do not know how long she will be staying.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CTO: Yes.

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
CSO_Brehgorn: Aye.

CEO_Jokeg says:
::several Engineers gather at the Jeffries Tube entrance, looking into the entrance::

CNS_Luchena says:
EO:  Right this way.  ::smiles at her::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
XO: Sir, we are at full stop.  This system is not navigable due to dense asteroids.  CTO Duvas is working on a shield configuration that will deflect asteroids.  We have also picked up warp signatures around the 4th planet of the system.

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
::Exits the Bridge and heads to the Main deflector dish control room::

Adm_Klord says:
CO: She is a fine woman and excellent SF potential. ::shakes head:: Her discipline has been lacking I'm afraid. I need to get her away from....certain people on the Klingon home world. I believe she can be of use to SF in general and more specifically to you.

::crawls back to the entrance, seeing the 7 or 8 Engineers standing there looking at him::Engineers:What?

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
*XO*: Aye sir.

CEO_Jokeg says:
*CTO*: On my way.

Adm_Klord says:
CO: Only to the point to which you feel she is helpful to you. I understand that a starship is not a nursery. I would not have her disrupt your ship.

CNS_Luchena says:

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::places system layout on the main screen, showing dense asteroid clusters and the areas where warp activity has been monitored::

Adm_Klord says:
CO: what I hope for her to learn is respect for SF and its principals. ....The working of a ships crew as a team. She will serve for only as long as you feel she is a benefit to your ship.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: Falls back on the biobed too exhausted to stay conscious another second.::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
XO:  The ships creating the warp signatures are three small crafts, about the size of our shuttlecrafts.  Asteroid clusters are creating numerous blind spots, so there may be more ships out there::

EO_Katira says:
::Looks around the room as she walks past the counselor.  Then turns to look at her.  She pauses for a moment::  CNS:  Thank you.

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
::Hears someone coming down the ladder and turns to see the CEO:: CEO: I need the hull integrity shields to be re-done to allow for the new shielding harmonics for deflecting asteroids Sir.

XO: Standby, sir. ::runs scans for radio transmissions or other modes of communication::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
XO: Nothing showing up, sir.

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
::Nods to the CEO:: CEO: Yes sir. Would takes us days to get around the asteroid belt we have encountered.

Host CO_Merced says:
::smiles wryly:: ADM: This is a very unusual favor you are asking sir.  And if it were anyone else I would be inclined to decline.  As it is, I am hesitant.  ::sighs::  I will accept her aboard, for now.

EO_Katira says:
::Looks at the closed door then with all her pent up anger, throws a fist at the wall::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
XO:  Sir, I am picking up radio activity, but it is too weak to ascertain whether or not it's actual communication.

CO: I don't want to disrupt your mission any further. I will see her before I leave and then be off with your permission. I expect no special updates. I will follow her progress from regular reports to SF. However if you have any....special difficulties with her please, do not hesitate to ask for me.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
XO: Perhaps we could send an Away Team in a shuttle, sir.

CEO_Jokeg says:
::nods and steps out of the control room::

CNS_Luchena says:
MO:  Thank you again.  Please keep me updated.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
*CTO* Report status of project.

CEO_Jokeg says:
::walking down the corridor::

Host CO_Merced says:
::nods::  ADM:  I will do so sir.  It has been a pleasure to meet you finally.

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
::Finishes his power re-routing to the deflector array:: Computer: Bring on main deflector array and reconfigure shield to the new harmonics settings.

EO_Katira says:
::Walks to the window of the guest room and stares out at the stars, wishing her foster mother were still alive, there was still hope her foster brother was...::

CNS_Luchena says:
::exits SB and enters TL::

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
*CSO*: Bring it on line now.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
XO:  The CTO is about to bring his shield configuration on line.

Host Chris_N says:
Computer: Acknowledged.  New configuration on-line and at nominal output

Adm_Klord says:
CO: The pleasure has been mine ::mutters:: I hope he doesn't change his opinion

XO_West says:
Well, lets look for an opening first.

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
Computer: Reroute all settings to OPS console and control settings as well.

CEO_Jokeg says:
*ME*: Chief it may be a good idea to bring damage control teams to alert status.

CNS_Luchena says:
::arrives back on bridge::

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: The Computer bleeps in recognition

Host CO_Merced says:
::follows the Admiral onto the bridge, but heads to the command center, rather than following him to the lift::

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  She is ensconced in quarters, Sir.  Anything else you would like?  A coffee perhaps?

CEO_Jokeg says:
<Jacobs>::has a perplexed look on his face::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
XO: The belt seems too dense, sir.  I recommend we proceed with the CTO's shield configuration in place.

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
*CSO*: OPS has all setting rerouted to his consoles. The main deflector is on line. Ready when you are.

XO_West says:
::Stands as CO approaches and moves to second chair::

Host CO_Merced says:
XO: What is our status?  ::looking at the viewscreen::

Adm_Klord says:
::enters the lift::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
*CTO* Understood, Duvas.  Resume your post on the bridge.

XO_West says:
CNS: thank you counselor. nothing at this time.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
*CTO* Good work.

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
*CSO*: Aye on my way.

CEO_Jokeg says:
::enters ME, goes into his office and sits down, leaning back a bit::

Adm_Klord says:
::accesses the computer for the whereabouts of Katira's quarters::

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
::exits the main deflector control room and heads for the bridge::

XO_West says:
CO; we are at present engulfed in an asteroid field.  The CSO is configuring the shields to compensate.

CNS_Luchena says:
::stands around wondering what he could do to make himself useful::

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: A directional light moves down the corridor showing the Admiral the way

Adm_Klord says:
::exits the TL and strides to her quarters entering without announcement::

EO_Katira says:
::Turns around stiffly to look at the man who was her father::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO, XO:  Mr. Duvas' configuration is online.  We are ready to proceed through the belt when ordered.

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
::Arrives on the bridge moments later and takes his station::

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO: Hold on that for the moment.  XO: Are we in a stable position now?

CEO_Jokeg says:
::Chief Jacobs walks in, with a cup of coffee for Jokeg:: Any reason why damage control is on alert? ::hands him the cup and sits::

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
CSO_Brehgorn: We only have a deflection range of 10,000 kilometers so take it easy.

Adm_Klord says:
::raises hands:: Katira, don't start with me...this is the best thing for you and you know it.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: Sleeps her mind a blank as her body catches up from the stress it has been through.::

XO_West says:
CO: yes, sir, at full stop.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CTO:  Gothca.  ::relays warning to the FCO::

EO_Katira says:
Klord:  Just like that... all your problems are solved.  You have yet to really get to know me to know what is best for me.

CEO_Jokeg says:
::takes the cup, gulping it down:: Jacobs: Sounds like we are going to navigate a asteroid belt.

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO: What do sensors tell us about the system?  Have we found the source of the originally detected warp propulsion?

Adm_Klord says:
Katira: I will handle the paperwork at SF. You are temporarily assigned to the Luna and are subject to SF rules and discipline

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
XO_West: Shall I bring the phasers online?

CEO_Jokeg says:
<Jacobs>::looks in horror:: If the nacelles are hit....

XO_West says:
CTO: not yet, we haven’t' decided if they will be needed.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO:  Yes, sir.  The warp signatures are emanating from 3 shuttle-sized crafts around the 4ht planet.  Asteroid density leaves many blind spots in our sensor readout.

EO_Katira says:
::Takes a deep breath and nods her head, not saying anything more, keeping the thought it would not be that hard to leave this ship...::

Adm_Klord says:
Katira: you would really rather those P'tahs of house Duras wed you off to a fat old trader?

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
XO_West: Aye sir.

CEO_Jokeg says:
Jacobs: IF the nacelles are hit Starfleet will have its first glow-in-the-dark Engineering staff.

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO: Any sign they have detected our presence?

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: None, sir.

EO_Katira says:
::bows her head::  Klord:  No father... I would not.  ::Lifts her head angrily::  But if you had not just left me on Q'nos....

Host CO_Merced says:
XO: Okay.  Let's go in slowly, taking shelter behind one of the outer planets so that they do not spot us with any telescopes, or other detection devices.

CEO_Jokeg says:
<Jacobs>::looks out at the Warp Core::

Adm_Klord says:
Katira: ah...so you really wanted my to take you by the hand... you felt you needed a babysitter and would willingly have submitted to it? ::chuckles::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO, XO:  Duvas has informed me that our deflector range is 10,000 KMs, so we need to be careful.

XO_West says:
CO: Aye, sir.

XO_West says:
FCO: Take us in slowly.

CEO_Jokeg says:
::looks at Jacob and laughs: :Don't worry yourself Chief...

EO_Katira says:
::Stands straight::  Klord:  No Sir!

CSO_Brehgorn says:
<FCO> XO: Aye, sir.  ::engages course towards the asteroid belt::

CNS_Luchena says:
::seeing that no one has any use for him here, wanders off towards the lounge::

Host CO_Merced says:
XO: It seems the admiral's daughter will be with us for a bit longer than just temporary.

Adm_Klord says:
Katira:: Laughs loudly:: I didn't think so ::puts his arm around her shoulders:: you will do me proud. you are a fine daughter

CNS_Luchena says:
::recalls the happy days when he used to fill in at empty stations on the bridge::

XO_West says:
CO: yes sir, but have you figured out the admiral’s motive behind leaving her here?

EO_Katira says:
::Bends a bit, excepting the hug before stepping back.::  Klord:  We shall see...

Host CO_Merced says:
XO: Babysitting I think.
