Episode 176 "Prelude to Invasion, Part 16."  The Luna is on the back side of the moon and still monitoring Captain Savar's bio signs as he travels with the Vesuvius crew and the alien Axion. At the moment, things down there are quiet.  Capt. McPherson-Quest is on the Vesuvius repairing the Andorian frieghter... things are moving slow....

CMO_McDonald says:
OPS: Already on it, but thanks!

ACTION: The warp engine is pulsing gently, but a strange thunk can be heard every now and again....

EO_UnFi_Xit says:
::frowns slightly:: Self : thunk? That doesn't sound right...
TO_Vren says:
CSO: Any idea where they came from, ma'am?
CSO_Singh says:
:: Rubs her tempo as she leaves to head into the captain's ready room.::  *OPS*:  How many were missing?

OPS-Qui says:
*CSO*: At last estimate, there were 44 - 60 of our human crew
CSO_Singh says:
:: Pauses::  TO:  As they were taken by our current headache, I can only assume they were returned by them.
CSO_Singh says:
:: Turns with a frown.::  TO:  What is the current status of the captain... I would like a word with him if at all possible.
CMO_McDonald says:
Self: Now this is interesting. None have aged in the time they were missing.

TO_Vren says:
::Waits until the CSO is finished her conversation::
CSO_Singh says:
*OPS*:  Good, as soon as you have a definite number, let me know.  Singh out.
CSO_Singh says:
:: Turns back to Vren.::
CMO_McDonald says:
:: watches as the next Crewman comes over :: Runs another scan with the same results :: Self: Very interesting indeed. Takes a sample of blood from the crewman ::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Sighs and looks at the next crewman ::   Crewman #4: Name, Serial number, Department, please
TO_Vren says:
TO: The Captain's commbadge signal hasn't moved much, they're still on Earth.  If you need to speak to him, I don't see why you couldn't.
CMO_McDonald says:
:: stows the sample in his medkit to get evaluated ::
EO_UnFi_Xit says:
::Waits for the results to come in::
CMO_McDonald says:
*CSO* I have a rather interesting development down here.
CSO_Singh says:
TO:  Patch him through please.
CSO_Singh says:
*CMO*:  What have you discovered?
CMO_McDonald says:
*CSO* It seems that the crew haven't aged a single day since they were taken.
Captain_Savar says:
#*CSO*: Commander Singh?
CSO_Singh says:
*CMO*:  Does that include the rest of us?
EO_UnFi_Xit says:
::manages to find something wrong with the manifold injectors::
CMO_McDonald says:
*CSO*: I'd have to take a sample from one of us left on the ship to determine that.
EO_UnFi_Xit says:
::goggles his eyes wide, and proceeds to start an emergency shutdown of the warp core::
CSO_Singh says:
*Captain*:  Thought I would report out as you were not reporting in.  Plus I have a question.  First, some of our missing crew has been returned, apparently unaged.  We are having problems with the engines and are working on it.  Also we have people working on the Andorian vessel.
Host OPS-Qui says:
<Crewman #4> OPS: Synder, 10306.14, Medical
EO_UnFi_Xit says:
::sighs audibly as the emergency lights come on..::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Taps in the information into her PADD ::   Crewman #4: Thank you, please follow the last guy to the doc....
Captain_Savar says:
#*CSO*: Several thousand persons have been returned to the Earth, from the alien vessels above.  Their memories have been wiped, and have not aged that they know of.
CMO_McDonald says:
:: looks around :: Self: What the...

ACTION: The power fluctuates as an emergency shutdown begins...

CSO_Singh says:
*Captain*:  My question...  Have you thought more on the babies circumstances.  And are the aliens going to help us back, or should I begin to seriously look into using the sun for a sling shot affect, knowing it could land us anywhere in time.  But it would not be here.
EO_UnFi_Xit says:
::proceeds to the injector manifold, and starts the plasma purge procedures::
CSO_Singh says:
:: Looks up as the lights flicker and sighs to herself.::  Or do we begin to look for a world to colonize.
CSO_Singh says:
*CMO*:  Take a few samples, enough to at least determine if it is all of us or just them.
CMO_McDonald says:
*CSO* I am going to leave the MO here to finish off these physicals and head back for the lab to get working on these samples.
CMO_McDonald says:
*CSO* Understood. I'll take a sample from me and from the OPS here and go from there.
OPS-Qui says:
Crewman #5: Name, Serial number, department, please....
CSO_Singh says:
*CMO*:  It could be the alien affect as others have been returned to Earth with a similar situation... plus no memories.
EO_UnFi_Xit says:
Daniels : Daniels.. Help me out here... We need to replace this manifold.
CSO_Singh says:
*OPS*:  Qui, have you had a chance to ask any of our returned crew what they know or remember?
CMO_McDonald says:
*CSO* It very well could be. I will try to determine that.
Host OPS-Qui says:
<Crewman#5> OPS: Porter, 9503.26, Medical
CMO_McDonald says:
:: speaks with the MO on hand and then steps back over to the OPS officer :: Hearing the discussion he waits patiently.
CSO_Singh says:
*CMO*: As soon as you know...  Singh out.
EO_Daniels says:
EO : What!? Are you nuts?
EO_UnFi_Xit says:
Daniels : Well.. There's a micro fracture on the manifold. It could lead to a core breach if it is not corrected...
CSO_Singh says:
*EO*:  Please tell me something good...  or are you and the rest of the engineers planning on getting out and pushing the ship?
EO_Daniels says:
::quickly moves up to the console the EO is working on, and shoves him aside::
Captain_Savar says:
#*CSO*: I believe one of the terms of our alliance with the alien Axion will be our return to our proper time; at this time I recommend negative against slingshot.
EO_Daniels says:
EO : Maybe. But you don't replace.... You Purged the manifold??? That'll take days to reinitialize properly...
CMO_McDonald says:
OPS: Can I speak with you a moment.
EO_UnFi_Xit says:
Daniels : Well, if i was going to replace it, i had to purge it, didn't i?
EO_Daniels says:
EO : Damn it Unfi.. We don't carry any replacements on board... Did you even bother to check the inventory to see if we had replacement parts?
EO_UnFi_Xit says:
Daniels : Uuuhhhh... No.
Captain_Savar says:
#*CSO*: As for the children, we must proceed that they are not our concern at this time.  We have no indication that the Nezi do not wish their children to live with them.  I suspect that you would not wish your children to be taken from you.
EO_Daniels says:
::shakes head:: *Bridge* : Engineering to bridge.. Anyone there?
OPS-Qui says:
:: Hears the CMO ::   Crewman: Thanks, please move to that line over there   :: Points to in the appropriate direction ::
CSO_Singh says:
*CO*:  Sir...  ::Shakes her head, keeping her opinion to herself.::  Is there anything further we can do to be of assistance?
OPS-Qui says:
Crewman #8: Please wait a moment.    CMO: Yes, doctor?
EO_UnFi_Xit says:
::looks from the console to the manifold, and back at Daniels::
Captain_Savar says:
#*CSO*: Is the Luna in working condition?
CMO_McDonald says:
OPS: I have found something of interest. It seems the crew that have been returned to us actually haven't aged yet. If I could get a sample of your blood and a small tissue sample. I am going to compare the two. The ones that were taken and us who were left on the ship
CSO_Singh says:
*CO*:  No sir... I would not.  At the same time, they are not just the Nezi children, they are also our crew members.  And if it were me, I would want my child back.
OPS-Qui says:
CMO: Sure doc...
EO_UnFi_Xit says:
::jumps down into the maintenance access to the manifold, bringing along an engineering kit::
CMO_McDonald says:
OPS: If you will pull your sleeve up a moment.
CSO_Singh says:
*CO*:  As mentioned earlier sir, no.  There appears to be problems with our engines.  Engineering is working out a way to push the ship.
CSO_Singh says:
*EO Daniels*:  Singh here.
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Ewan becomes a little disgusted with the way things are proceeding on the Andorian derelict::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Does as the doc asks, then looks to the next crewman in line ::   Crewman #8: Name, Serial number, department please
Captain_Savar says:
@::Pauses, considering them pushing the ship, then decides it's not correct::  *CSO*: Then your assistance will be to have the Luna prepared for our return to our proper time line.
EO_Daniels says:
*CSO*: Ahh... Finally... I'm afraid we have bad news.. A micro fracture was detected on one of the intake manifolds... The shutdown was initiated to purge the manifold so we can work on the microfracture.
CMO_McDonald says:
:: takes the samples without the OPS even noticing :: OPS: Thank you very much. I'm done.
EO_Daniels says:
::notices the EO down near the manifold.:: All : Unfi!! Get out of there...
CSO_Singh says:
*CO*:  We are working on it.  Apparently a micro fracture has been detected in the manifolds.  They are working on it now.  :: She hopes.::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Nods to the CMO as crewman #8 replies ::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@*CSO*: What is this I hear that you are taking away some of my Engineers?
CMO_McDonald says:
:: steps out of the cargo bay and heads back for sickbay ::
EO_UnFi_Xit says:
::looks up at Daniels:: Daniels : What? I'm just going to start working on the fracture.. ::brings out a hydro spanner::
Host OPS-Qui says:
<Crewman #8> OPS: Anderson, 10411.23, Sciences
CSO_Singh says:
*CIV*:  We have a micro fractures in the intake manifold.  I am going to have them find out what caused them.  At the moment engines are shut down.
CMO_McDonald says:
:: after a short trip Lennier steps back into sickbay ::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Taps information into her PADD. ::   Crewman #8: Thank you. Please follow the line over to there.
EO_Daniels says:
::now it's his turn to widen his eyes:: All : Ensign UnFi Xit!!! Stop what you are doing, and get out of there! NOW
CSO_Singh says:
*EO*:  Find out what caused them.  It does not do much good just to fix them if they go down in the middle of warping out.
CMO_McDonald says:
:: the MO takes the samples and runs the physicals as required by the MO ::
EO_UnFi_Xit says:
::startled by Daniel's tone, drops the spanner::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@*CSO*: Then tell me Commander, how am I supposed to get this bucket of bolts ready in time and make up for the lost time because of that console that we are currently replacing?
Captain_Savar says:
#*CSO*: Understood, Commander.  I will contact the Luna again if the situation changes.  Savar out.
EO_Daniels says:
*CSO* : Well sir, the problem isn't the microfracture.. Since we purged the manifold, after we seal it, we will need to re-initialize the manifold and bring it up to working condition.. Very slowly... It will take a couple of days...
CSO_Singh says:
*CIV*:  A miracle.  At this point, I cannot even come and get the engineers.  We will see.  Do the best you can.
CMO_McDonald says:
:: starts looking at all the data he is gathering from the two sets of samples he has taken ::
CSO_Singh says:
TO:  Find out the condition of the Vesuvius.
TO_Vren says:
CSO: Aye, ma'am.  ::Scans the Vesuvius::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@*CSO*: We shall see if that can be obtainable
EO_UnFi_Xit says:
::looks down to try and pick up the spanner again, and watches it sliding ever so gently heading for the dump valve on the intermix chamber:: Self :Oh ho...
CSO_Singh says:
*CMO*:  I need you to find out what the missing crew remember, preferably as quickly as possible.
CMO_McDonald says:
*CSO* I will do my best. I am also working on the samples to see what I can come up with.
CSO_Singh says:
*EO*:  You do not have a couple of days.  You have at the most a couple of hours.
EO_UnFi_Xit says:
::turns back to pick up some other tool, and throws it down towards the Hidrospanner, trying to deviate it from it's current trajectory::
EO_UnFi_Xit says:
::misses the spanner completely::
EO_UnFi_Xit says:
Daniels : Uhh.. Daniels?
TO_Vren says:
CSO: They've got several missing sensor pallets on the starboard side, and there's a huge gash on her side, deck 8.  But I believe she is operational.
EO_Daniels says:
*CSO* : Sir? When i say days, i mean days.. There's no way i can safely re-initialize this ...
EO_UnFi_Xit says:
Daniels : Uh.. Daniels?
CSO_Singh says:
TO:  Contact them to find out.  They are more important then the freighter.  If they need our help, we will give it.
EO_Daniels says:
*CSO* : ... manifold... EO : What do you want, Unfi?
TO_Vren says:
CSO: I will contact them, Commander... but I believe we are in worse shape than they.  Our engines don't work.
EO_UnFi_Xit says:
::looks down into the space under them::
EO_Daniels says:
::kneels down to locate whatever Unfi is looking at::
CSO_Singh says:
*EO*:  Get her running... Singh out.
OPS-Qui says:
Crewman #9: Name, Serial number, department please....
EO_Daniels says:
::with a run, heads for the nearest console, and fires up the transporter controls as quickly as he can:: EO : Unfi! Come on up out of there... You're relieved of duty... Go up to your quarters..
Host OPS-Qui says:
<Crewman #9> OPS: Baker, 10507.02, Operations
CMO_McDonald says:
:: querks his eyebrow up :: Self : Very interesting.
EO_Daniels says:
::locks onto the hidrospanner::
EO_UnFi_Xit says:
::get up from below, and starts heading out of ME::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Taps the information into the PADD. ::  Crewman #9: Please move to over there....
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Ewan goes back to work on the new navigational console::
EO_Daniels says:
:: watches as the time to locking counts down, and the hidrospanner reached the dump valve:: Self : Oh my...
OPS-Qui says:
Outloud: Next!
OPS-Qui says:
Crewman #10: Name, Serial number, Department, please
CSO_Singh says:
:: Looks over at Vren to see what he has discovered.::
EO_UnFi_Xit says:
::the spanner hits it's target right before it is caught in the transporter beam::
TO_Vren says:
CSO: The injures the Vesuvius has sustained have been there the entire time.  They're holding up better than we are... they, in fact, offered US assistance.

ACTION: At the end of the countdown, the valve opens.  The core's plasma begins to exit into space.  It is all gone when the engineering crew realizes this....

CMO_McDonald says:
*CSO* I have some interesting findings. But I'd rather work on them a bit more first.
EO_Daniels says:
::drops his shoulders:: *Bridge* : Engineering to bridge..
Host OPS-Qui says:
<Crewman #10> OPS: Branson, 9408.08, Engineering
OPS-Qui says:
:: Taps in the information ::   Crewman #10: Please move to the next line....  Thank you....
TO_Vren says:
*EO*: Engineering, this is Vren.
EO_Daniels says:
*TO* : There's been an accident down here.. We just lost all the plasma on our warp core. It's out cold.
TO_Vren says:
*EO*: All the plasma?
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Ewan wipes away some sweat from his brow before it has a chance to run into his eyes.::
OPS-Qui says:
Outloud: Next!
EO_Daniels says:
*TO* : Yes.. The emergency dump valve was accidentally triggered..
EO_Daniels says:
*TO* : I'm afraid we won't be going anywhere in the next week...
OPS-Qui says:
Crewman #11: Name, Serial number, Department....
CSO_Singh says:
:: gives a humorous sigh::  TO:  If they know a way to restart the ship quickly, we could use the information.
TO_Vren says:
*EO*: .. could we use the assistance of the Vesuvius to somehow jump start our warp core?  Or borrow materials?
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Ewan wipes away some sweat from his brow before it has a chance to run into his eyes.:: Things could be worse, I could be stuck on the Luna with no power
Host OPS-Qui says:
<Crewman #11> OPS: Johannsen, 10502.03, Sciences
OPS-Qui says:
:: Taps away as she gets the required information ::   Crewman #11: Thanks, move to the next line, please....
CMO_McDonald says:
:: perks his eyebrows up even further :: Self: this could be useful.
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Ewan gives the console a little more tweaking before testing it::
CSO_Singh says:
*CIV*:  I may need you hear to skin a few people alive.  :: Frustration in her voice.::  As the Vesuvius crew is in better shape then we are, can they work on the freighter?  I could use you and our people back here.  By the way... did you get the report that many of our missing crew have returned?
EO_Daniels says:
*TO* : Well.. I guess we could try...
CMO_McDonald says:
*CSO* I may have some interesting information. I am going to verify it now and get back to you.
CSO_Singh says:
:: Her fingers start to drum again as she waits for various replies.  At least it was on her arm and quiet so as not to bother others.::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@*CSO*: I guess they can finish it, I mean it isn't THAT hard to fix. As for skinning people, I just interrogate and torture them. I been here all the time, how can I hear anything about any missing anything?
CSO_Singh says:
*CMO*:  Acknowledged.
EO_Daniels says:
*TO* : But i think short of a miracle.. We will be stuck here for a while.. I think it would probably be best to ask help from Starfleet to tow us to the nearest Starbase..
CSO_Singh says:
*CIV*:  I take it my brief did not get through.  Anyways, your assistance may  be of better use here to discover what our returned people know. Unfortunately... you will need to borrow a shuttle from the Vesuvius.  They may have some assistance for us.
TO_Vren says:
*EO*: The next Starbase is 200 years in the future.  I'll get the yolk, you meet me out front of the hull.
CMO_McDonald says:
:: works some more on the results trying to duplicate it ::
EO_Daniels says:
::gulps:: *TO* : I'm doing the best i can... It's the rest of the engineers left here that... ::shuts up:: You're kidding.. right, sir?
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@*CSO*: Apparently not, the Vesuvius is kind of messed up as of yet. I can grab a shuttle, the Ves Engineers said I can borrow one.
CSO_Singh says:
*CIV*: Then come hope sir...
TO_Vren says:
*EO*: If I was you, I'd get that core working, one way or the other.... or you'll find out.
