Episode 171 "Prelude to Invasion, Part 11: What Is The Vesuvius Hiding?"  Repairs, repairs and more repairs...the ship is now functional but will it survive the stress of time travel and what bout the other ships like the Vesuvius?  What is their fate?  The injured have been taken care and the bridge is now functional....  Now what?  How does the Luna and her sister ship get out of 1947?
=/\=  =/\=  =/\=  =/\=  =/\=  Begin Mission  =/\=  =/\=  =/\=  =/\=  =/\=

ACTION: Three days have passed and the ship comes together more.

CSO_Singh says:
:: Making her way through the ship, doing a general check of the ships status as well as the ships morale.::
CO_Savar says:
::Still on the Bridge of the Luna::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Exits from the turbolift and moves to her station ::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Relieves the officer there and signs in to her console ::
CTO_Jarot says:
::going through the reports on his panel he nods and adds a few notes for the repair teams::
CSO_Singh says:
:: Stops to talk to a group and smiles encouragingly at them.  Then moves on to the nearest turbolift.::
CEO_Jarek says:
:: In the main engine room adjusting the inter-mix ratio::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Runs a quick diagnostic ::
CSO_Singh says:
:: Steps into the lift::  Computer, bridge.
OPS-Qui says:
:: Sees the diagnostic end and smiles to herself::
CSO_Singh says:
:: Steps onto the bridge and walks over to her captain::
CO_Savar says:
::Looks at Harmony::  CSO: Commander?
CEO_Jarek says:
Self: Curious....These inter-mix ratios will not stabilize...the diagnostics show no reason for such....
CSO_Singh says:
:: Hands him the report.:: CO:  Over all, the ship is in shape to fly, though I would not want to take her into any major battle... at least not for long.  And moral is... fluctuating from low to high hopes.

ACTION:   Communications come alive with broadcasts from earth...  News very prevalent.  The light show in the night sky from the nights before.  The army is investigating...  An odd looking shuttle was discovered in northern Canada... the markings Federation.

CEO_Jarek says:
:: Runs another diagnostics on the flow converters and intermix chambers::
CEO_Jarek says:
:: The results come back negative ::
CEO_Jarek says:
:: Taps his COMM badge:: *CO* Jarek to Savar

ACTION:  If anyone bothers to do a crew inventory... Gopher is missing.

OPS-Qui says:
:: Hears all the chatter in her earpiece and listens closely ::  CO: Sir, there is massive communications on Earth about lights in the sky...and a Federation shuttle having been found
CTO_Jarot says:
::moves over to the CO and nods as well::  CO: I would have to concur with Commander Singh, Captain... we are currently 70% effective on the tactical area...
CO_Savar says:
CSO: We can only push so much.... too much longer, and we need a big breakthrough...
CO_Savar says:
*CEO*: Commander?
CSO_Singh says:
:: Nods as she listens.::
CO_Savar says:
OPS: Federation?  Are we missing a shuttle, or is the Vesuvius?
CEO_Jarek says:
*CO* Captain...We are having Inter-mix difficulties...I have run diagnostics and all have come up negative as to why...Yet it will not stabilize
CSO_Singh says:
:: Takes a step over to her sensors.::  OPS:  Do you have a general area for me to search?
CO_Savar says:
*CEO*: What have you accounted for?  Is there any sort of background radiation?
OPS-Qui says:
:: She contacts the Vesuvius and finds out if they are mission a shuttle ::   CO: No sir, the Vesuvius says she has one on Earth, but it's in the Mohave Desert
CSO_Singh says:
:: Pulls up their manifest of shuttles.::
CO_Savar says:
CTO: Commander, did we ever register opening the shuttlebay doors?
CEO_Jarek says:
*CO* Negative..  Radiation levels normal....In fact all other systems are normal I have triple checked and manually checked..  However I am continuing with my investigation
OPS-Qui says:
CO: Sir, we are not missing any shuttles
CTO_Jarot says:
::frowns slightly as he moves back to his console::  CO: Not that I know off, Captain... let me check the internal sensors...
CSO_Singh says:
CO:  Sir, we are missing a shuttle from the manifest.  Checking current crew roster.

ACTION:  Upon further investigation the OPS finds a false report, signed off by...who else... Gopher.

CSO_Singh says:
:: Looks over at Kehari::  OPS:  Doctored logs.
CO_Savar says:
::Looks between the OPS officer and Harmony::  OPS: Perhaps someone should visually account for our shuttles....
CEO_Jarek says:
*CO* I have also checked for signs of tampering
CSO_Singh says:
:: Shakes her head::  OPS:  When was the last time you saw Gopher?
CTO_Jarot says:
::moves his hands over his console and accesses the internal sensor logs, backtracking it for the last 7 days, checking the readings in the shuttlebays, looking for an abnormality::
CO_Savar says:
*CEO*: Carry on with your investigation, and hopefully we won't need to go anywhere fast.
OPS-Qui says:
CSO: I try not to see Gopher, Commander.  I honestly can't remember
CEO_Jarek says:
*CO* Indeed ......Jarek out
CSO_Singh says:
:: Looks at her captain:: CO:  Sir, I cannot locate Gopher on the ship.
OPS-Qui says:
CO: Yes, sir.  I'll go ... with your permission
CO_Savar says:
::Thinks::  CSO: Interesting.  If that is him on the planet Earth, I do believe he will sit in a Brig cell for the rest of his life.
OPS-Qui says:
:: Hears the CO and thinks to herself ::   Self: That would be fine with me!
CTO_Jarot says:
::glances up at the CO::  CO: It appears that a shuttle has left during the battle.... switching to external sensors...
CTO_Jarot says:
::checks the timeframe with the external sensors to establish the flight path of the stolen shuttle::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Waiting the direction from the CO ::
CSO_Singh says:
CO:  We need to collect the shuttle sir... and unfortunately Gopher.  However, finding a human on a world of humans is going to be difficult to say the least.
OPS-Qui says:
CSO: But we can locate him via his quantum signature, can't we?
CO_Savar says:
CSO: Unless we can identify something unique about him.  He would likely have dispatched his commbadge...
CO_Savar says:
CTO: Commander... we are still without the power of our warp core.  I'd like you to assemble two teams and takes shuttles to Earth.  Know that they will be actively searching the skies...
CSO_Singh says:
CO:  His blood will be different.  But that is not enough to go by... unless... :: Looks at Kehari::  I don't suppose he has a dermal transponder?
OPS-Qui says:
CSO: Unless he stole one, as far as I know he doesn't
CSO_Singh says:
OPS:  Who said anything about him stealing one.  Perhaps his 'aunti' is wiser in that?
OPS-Qui says:
CSO: Let me check something quickly on him   :: Accesses his bio ::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Raises an eyebrow ::  CSO: He does!
CSO_Singh says:
OPS:  If you will relay its sequence, I will see what I can do.
OPS-Qui says:
:: Sends the information to the CSO ::
CTO_Jarot says:
::nods at the CO::  CO: Aye, Captain...
CSO_Singh says:
:: Takes the frequency code and inputs into her sensors.  Begins a search in Canada.::
CSO_Singh says:
CO:  I have found him... :: Pulls up a map and sends it to the viewscreen that has a flashing light.::  He is there in what is called... Yellowknife.
CO_Savar says:
CTO: One moment...
CTO_Jarot says:
::nods at the CO and follows the CSO's new results::
CEO_Jarek says:
:: Finds the problem with the intermix system::
CEO_Jarek says:
*CO* Jarek to Savar
CSO_Singh says:
:: Checks the vicinity to see if there are others about.::
CO_Savar says:
CSO: Good work.  CTO: You may only need one shuttle.  Take a type 8 shuttle, and Lieutenant Qui, and go recover Mister Gopher, please.
CO_Savar says:
*CEO*: Commander?
CEO_Jarek says:
*CO* We have a problem sir.....A very large one indeed
CO_Savar says:
*CEO*: Explain.
CTO_Jarot says:
::glances at the CSO::  CSO: You've once again been drafted, Commander... follow me to the shuttlebay...  ::grins::
CSO_Singh says:
CO: He is in a vicinity that is relatively clear of population.  You should be able to just beam him from orbit.  However, we do need to recover the shuttle.  Permission to take another team for that.
CEO_Jarek says:
*CO* The inter-mix adjustment valving has been what would appear sabotaged
CEO_Jarek says:
*CO* From inside !
CO_Savar says:
*CEO*: Inside the core, Commander?
CEO_Jarek says:
*CO* The inter-mix chamber ...Close enough though
CO_Savar says:
*CEO*: Do we have the parts to replace it?
CEO_Jarek says:
*CO* We do except.......
CSO_Singh says:
CTO:  You just like to inform Brian of how you keep me safe.  :: wryness in her voice.::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Hears the conversation between the CO and the Captain ::   CO: Sir, there are only a few replicators working at this time
CEO_Jarek says:
::REB::
CTO_Jarot says:
::grins as he enters the TL::  CSO: Of course... I do need to watch out for my career... otherwise I will end as a crewman on a deep space exploration vessel.... ::smiles::
CSO_Singh says:
:: Follows him into the turbolift.::  CTO:  We should take some clothes of this era, just for appearance’s sake in case it is not a simple matter of beaming aboard the shuttle and flying off with it.
CEO_Jarek says:
*CO* I have the parts, however I have found numerous thermo-cobalt devices...Micro devices attached to the valves and to the secondary systems
CEO_Jarek says:
*CO* Any attempt to replace or re-route and.....well sir ......BOOM
CEO_Jarek says:
*CO* Big BOOM
CO_Savar says:
*CEO*: I hesitate to ask, but can they be removed safely?
CTO_Jarot says:
::nods::  CSO: Definitely...  Computer: Prepare civilian clothing of said era in transporter room 1.
CEO_Jarek says:
*CO* Now that would be the question......Can you spare Qui?
CO_Savar says:
OPS: Lieutenant, would you like to assist Commander Jarek, or go retrieve your subordinate?
CEO_Jarek says:
:: Studies the devices::
CTO_Jarot says:
::exits the TL and walks into transporter room 1::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Has sent and received information from shuttle bay two and also hears the CO ::   CO: Sir, I'm sure the CTO and CSO are more than capable of finding and bringing Gopher back without my help.  However, the question would be would either of them be more useful to assist the CEO or would I?
OPS-Qui says:
:: Quickly taps her commbadge ::  *CTO*: Sir, shuttle bay two has a shuttle ready for your use
CSO_Singh says:
:: Following along.::  CTO:  I get to fly...  how is your stomach?  ::Smiles sweetly.::
OPS-Qui says:
CO: I'll go help Commander Jarek, sir ... with your permission.
CEO_Jarek says:
:: Motions for his two top engineers to come::
CO_Savar says:
OPS: Go.  ::Looks around as junior officers take up all the Bridge positions::
SO_Silver says:
:: Nods to the captain as she enters the bridge after getting Harmony’s orders.::
OPS-Qui says:
CO: Aye sir.   :: Moves from her console as a junior officer comes to OPS ::
CO_Savar says:
*CEO*: Lieutenant Qui is on her way down.  I have also informed security... who has experience with explosives.  They will also assist you.
OPS-Qui says:
:: Moves towards the turbolift and enters ::   Turbolift: Engineering
CTO_Jarot says:
::glances at the CSO::  CSO: You sure....?
CSO_Singh says:
:: Steps aboard the shuttle and takes the pilots seat, quickly beginning warm up procedures.::  CTO:  Ye of little faith.  Do you honestly think Brian would not make sure I am a good pilot along with everything else?
CEO_Jarek says:
*CO* Acknowledged Captain.....
OPS-Qui says:
:: Feels the turbolift slow, then stop.  Exits and walks down the corridor to engineering ::
CSO_Singh says:
:: Acknowledges the rest of their team as they come aboard.::  All:  take your seat please.
CSO_Singh says:
*OPS*:  Permission to depart.
OPS-Qui says:
:: Enters engineering and looks around for Commander Jarek.  Spies him and walks over to him ::
AOPS_Spader says:
CSO: Permission granted, Commander
OPS-Qui says:
CEO: Where do you need me, Commander?
CSO_Singh says:
All:  Everyone buckle your seat belts... :: Watches as the shuttle bay doors slowly open.::
CTO_Jarot says:
::straps himself in his chair and grins at the CSO::  CSO: If you get us there in one piece we can kick Gopher into the nearest holding cell...
CSO_Singh says:
:: Gently lifts the shuttle from the deck and heads for the opening into space.::  CTO:  If I don't get you there in one piece, Brian will have my hide.  :: Smiling at the simple bantering that eases tension, she exits the Luna and turns the shuttle around to head for Earth.::
CEO_Jarek says:
OPS: We need to find out how these devices are triggered....Very carefully...
SO_Silver says:
CO:  The shuttle has safely launched.  Their ETA to Earth is approximately 15 minutes... 10 the rate Commander Singh is flying.
OPS-Qui says:
:: Nods and takes a tricorder from a nearby cabinet and begins to scan in the area the CEO pointed out ::
CO_Savar says:
SO: I suppose she would like to minimize the damage Mister Gopher performs
SO_Silver says:
:: smiles::  CO:  Most likely sir.
CEO_Jarek says:
OPS: Easy with that...We do not yet know if sensors will set them off
OPS-Qui says:
CEO: I think if sensors set them off I would be dead by now, as would you and everyone else near here
OPS-Qui says:
:: Continues to scan the 14 devices ::
CSO_Singh says:
@ :: Glances over at sensors.::  CTO:  The trick once we get to Earth, is to avoid them detecting us.  :: sighs:: Or do we even worry about that with the show they have been getting lately?
CEO_Jarek says:
OPS: Correct do not change from standard band width.....
CEO_Jarek says:
OPS: And I am quite aware of that information....
OPS-Qui says:
:: Looks at the CEO with a raised eyebrow ::  CEO: Of course sir
CEO_Jarek says:
OPS: Just go easy ......I like you in one piece
CTO_Jarot says:
CSO: I would say forget about them....but I doubt Starfleet would agree with me...  be sure we keep enough altitude avoid direct visual detection... do we have a lead on Gopher?
OPS-Qui says:
:: Finishes her readings ::  CEO: Looks like there are 9 that are affected.   :: Doesn't look at the CEO ::
CSO_Singh says:
@ :: Points toward the sensors.::  CTO:  He is still reading in Yellowknife.   Unfortunately, I do not know if the shuttle is there too.  He could be leaving us a goose trail.  He must know we would eventually discover him missing and the shuttle.
