Episode 201 “Degrees of Impossibility, Part 1”:  The Luna hurtles through space towards the scientific monitoring station on the Planetoid of Lassek, not far from the Cardassian boarder.  Her mission is the deliver supplies to the station in the wake of a redeployment of personnel and parts across the sector.  However this mission is a cover.  The real mission is to attempt to find out whether or not the "Black Ship" that eluded the crew in the Stilgar system has docked at this station and if so, why?

Host CO_Savar says:
::In his Ready Room, waiting for Captain MacPherson-Quest::
CMO_McDonald says:
:: sitting in sickbay looking over some recent injury reports ::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::in his quarters finishing up his reports to SFI and a certain SFC Admiral::
XO_Singh says:
:: Walking through the ship taking notes on various areas that needed dealing with now that the Lampo crew were no longer with them, as well as preparation for leaving the starbase they had been assigned to for many years.::
FCO_Shania says:
::gives Teebo his food, then leaves::
FCO_Shania says:
::locks the door from outside and heads for the bridge::
CMO_McDonald says:
:: raises his eye at one report :: Self :  I will have to look into this one myself :: puts that particular PADD aside ::
XO_Singh says:
:: Stops in engineering.::
FCO_Shania says:
::enters TL and orders it to the bridge::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan steps onto the Bridge::
XO_Singh says:
:: Does a quick tour of the area::
CMO_McDonald says:
:: gets up and leaves his office heading for the exit to sickbay so he can head back to his quarters to be with Caleb for awhile ::
FCO_Shania says:
::feels the lift stop, watches the doors open and steps out::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan takes his usual spot at the back of the Bridge out of the way::
XO_Singh says:
:: As the chief meets her, he fills her in and she makes a few notes.::
FCO_Shania says:
::walks to helm, briefly chats with the officer there then plops down in her chair::
CMO_McDonald says:
:: after a short walk arrives back in his quarters and plops down on a seat to read while all is still quiet in the McDonald quarters
CTO_Augustus says:
::Checking tactical data files, and reviewing them for possible character flaws::
FCO_Shania says:
::checks the available sensor data::
XO_Singh says:
:: Keeping things short, she makes her way up to the last place on her tour, medical.::
CMO_McDonald says:
*XO* I'm in my quarters if I am needed.

ACTION: The Luna is now less than 5 minutes away from the station, sensors readings begin to become a little clearer

CTO_Augustus says:
FCO: Do you know anything about where we are headed?
CTO_Augustus says:
::keeps his eyes on his sensor board::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan walks up to the door of the Ready Room and rings the chimes::
Host CO_Savar says:
::Looks up::  Enter.
XO_Singh says:
:: Stops as the lift.::  *CMO*: Alright... I was just checking things over for my final report. Are you ill?
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Upon hearing the voice Ewan enters:: CO: Wanted to see me Captain?
CMO_McDonald says:
*XO* No not ill just want to spend some time with my son.
CTO_Augustus says:
FCO: I am starting to get readings on the station, nothing out of the usual.
FCO_Shania says:
*XO*: Hmmm, sensors show some sort of gravimetric disturbance in the area. We will need to drop out of warp a little earlier. Other then that, it's nothing out of the ordinary.
Host CO_Savar says:
::Waits for the doors to shut behind the Captain::  CIV: Yes, I did.  ::Passes over a PADD with sensor readings on it::  Local sensors picked up the readings from the tracking device you attached to the craft that kidnapped Ambassador Lenore.
XO_Singh says:
*CMO*: Ahhh... then I will not disturb you.  I will talk with whomever is on staff at the moment.  :: Sends the lift to sickbay.::
CMO_McDonald says:
*XO* It’s Dr. Pennington at the moment.
XO_Singh says:
*CMO*: Thanks.  :: AS the lift stops, makes her way to the double glass doors.::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::takes the PADD and reads it over:: CO: Hmm, I've been itching to get a second crack at them. I am also surely glad that they didn't find that tracking device
Dr_Pennington says:
XO: What Can I do for you?
XO_Singh says:
*FCO*: I trust your judgment.  Check with science to make sure all is on the up and up with the disturbance.
FCO_Shania says:
*XO* Will do
XO_Singh says:
:: Looking around::  Pennington: I am just checking up on things before we dock.  With so many people aboard, things got a bit hairy at times.
CTO_Augustus says:
FCO: I do not see any ion, or impulse trails that show any ships passing this way either
Host CO_Savar says:
CIV: It is my hope that it is the same device, still attached to the craft.  Our secondary mission is to locate any indication of the craft, and attempt to apprehend it.  No one other than you and I are aware of this at the time.  I leave it to you to brief any other senior officers as you see fit.  It may be prudent to inform the Tactical Department... however, I have little doubt they would refuse to attempt to hold the craft if we detect it again
Dr_Pennington says:
XO: Understand. We're all good in sickbay here.
FCO_Shania says:
CTO: Well, who would want to go here...
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: The only people other than you and I that will need to know more is those I take on an capture mission
CTO_Augustus says:
FCO: Commander your guess is as good as any, I am still trying to adjust to this time period
FCO_Shania says:
::sees they are close and hits the brakes::
CMO_McDonald says:
:: Lennier plays with Caleb and has some downtime while they are awaiting to arrive at the location ::
CTO_Augustus says:
FCO: and these controls ::fidgits with a couple trying to get them to his liking::
Host CO_Savar says:
::Nods::  CIV: If it comes to that, I leave the operation in your hands.
FCO_Shania says:
::grins:: CTO: You manage, I'm sure.
XO_Singh says:
Pennington: Have you given your supply list to OPS as well as anything you need off the station?  We will not be coming back.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: But your right, they could've found the device I planted and are leading us on a wild goose chase

ACTION: The Luna drops out of warp near the Lassek science station.  The ship shudders slightly as they enter the gravity well, apparently the FCO cut it a little too close!

Dr_Pennington says:
XO: I haven't but I'm sure Dr. McDonald has.
CTO_Augustus says:
::Adjusts his stance and watches the sensor readings on the structual integrity field::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Aye anything more Captain? ::hands the PADD back to Savar::

ACTION: The tactical console blinks

Host CO_Savar says:
CIV: No, that is all.  ::Feels the ship shake::  I believe we have arrived.  My presence is likely required on the Bridge.
XO_Singh says:
Pennington: Please double check with him and check your records as well.  We should be docking soon if dropping from warp is any indication.  Though why we shuddered...  :: frowns:: Perhaps I should head for the bridge now.
CTO_Augustus says:
FCO: Commander we have just been scanned
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan nods and turns to leave::
FCO_Shania says:
::sets a course to Lassek:: CTO: Source?
CTO_Augustus says:
FCO: Recommend at least yellow alert, scanning...
Dr_Pennington says:
XO: Aye sir. *CMO*: Have you given your list of supplies to the OPS officer yet?
CMO_McDonald says:
*Dr Pennington*: No I have not yet. It is on my desk could you please forward it to the OPS officer for me.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan exits onto the Bridge and takes a look around at the Bridge crew and wonder who he can trust with a delicate mission if the need arises::
Host CO_Savar says:
::Steps out of the Ready Room after the CIV::  FCO: Report.
Dr_Pennington says:
*CMO*: Aye sir.
CMO_McDonald says:
:: Dr. Pennington grabs the Supply list and heads for the bridge ::
CTO_Augustus says:
FCO: It seems to be of Federation source but from where...::Continues to try and find it::
CMO_McDonald says:
:: after a short trip Dr Pennington arrives at the bridge and steps on heading for the ops console :: OPS: Here is a supply list for Medical before we leave
FCO_Shania says:
CO: We are about 5 minutes away from Lassek. And we've just been scanned...as the Lt. just said, by a Federation source.
XO_Singh says:
:: As the turbolift stops, she steps onto the bridge.::
Host CO_Savar says:
FCO: Understood.  ::Sees the CTO still busy::  FCO: Please open a hailing frequency to the station.
FCO_Shania says:
CO: Aye ::opens channel::
Host CO_Savar says:
COM: Lassek: Lassek Science Station, this is Captain Savar of the USS Luna.
XO_Singh says:
:: Walks over toward her chair and takes a seat.::
CTO_Augustus says:
::Makes some adjustments to his sensor panel::
CTO_Augustus says:
XO: Request permission for intensive scan of the area?

ACTION: On the viewscreen a short haired human appears, dressed in the colors of Starfleet Medical, probably in his early 30's.

CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan looks at the viewscreen::
Host Dr_Stradling says:
@COM: Luna: USS Luna I am Dr Stradling, head researcher here.  I see you have made excellent time, we were not expecting you for another 8 hours
FCO_Shania says:
::thinks they can always find the nearest fast food restaurant and then come back at a more convenient time::
Host CO_Savar says:
COM: Lassek: Yes, we were able to take a more direct route to the station.  Is our early arrival an issue?
CTO_Augustus says:
Self: Maybe I am just paranoid, if they wanted something they would have asked for it.
CTO_Augustus says:
FCO: Are we in orbit around the station?
Host Dr_Stradling says:
@COM: Luna: Not at all!  It will just mean a few of us have a slightly abrupt breakfast but I am sure we will survive. ::beams at his wit::
CMO_McDonald says:
:: Lennier gets up as the nanny arrives and heads for sickbay to start his shift ::
FCO_Shania says:
CTO: In a minute.
Host CO_Savar says:
::Nods::  COM: Lessek: I believe if you tell us where you would like our cargo, we can begin unloading while you finish your morning meal.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan had a thought:: I wish I had time for breakfast
CTO_Augustus says:
::Studies the flight plan and includes it into his passive scan sequences::
Host Dr_Stradling says:
@COM: Luna: That is kind of you.  I will have transport co-ordinates sent up.  Shall we be expecting some of your personnel to beam down?
CMO_McDonald says:
:: after a short trip Lennier arrives at sickbay and relieves Dr Pennington ::
FCO_Shania says:
::hits a few of her shiny little buttons so the ship enters standard orbit::
Host CO_Savar says:
COM: Lassek: Some operational personnel will be beaming with the cargo.  My orders were simply to deliver the cargo at this time.
Host Dr_Stradling says:
@COM: Luna: That’s fine.  I will tell my people to get in an extra slice of toast ::grins::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan thinks that would be the most opportune time for him to get onto the Station::
Host CO_Savar says:
::Refrains from making a comment regarding the extra calories::  COM: Lassek: We will stand by awaiting coordinates.
XO_Singh says:
<SO Silver> XO: I thought you might like to know about the gravity well we just brushed against.  It is apparently naturally occurring.  The planetoid is creating it by bending space.  It makes for a good dish for picking up signals of various types..
Host Dr_Stradling says:
@COM: Luna: I shall send them immediately. Lassek Out ::grins again as the comm is cut::
CTO_Augustus says:
::noticing that they are now in orbit Gladius decides to try and communicate with the FCO::

ACTION: The FCO receives a set of transport co-ordinates at her console.

CTO_Augustus says:
FCO: Commander, have you been here before?
XO_Singh says:
:: Nods her head a bit absentmindedly in acknowledgement as she finishes her report.::
FCO_Shania says:
CTO: I usually try to stay away from Cardassian space. CO: I've received the co-ordinates.
CTO_Augustus says:
FCO: You should try serving on a Klingon vessel then.  ::smiles at the memories::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::walks up to the CO and whispers:: CO: Captain, that'd be the perfect excuse for me to get onto that Station
FCO_Shania says:
CTO: I think I pass, thanks.
Host CO_Savar says:
FCO; Understood.  XO: Please oversee.... ::hears the CIV::  XO: Please coordinate the transport of the equipment from our end.  Captain MacPherson-Quest will be monitoring from the other end... and assuring that he shares in that extra slice of toast.
XO_Singh says:
:: Looks up a bit owl eyed::  CO: Ummm... alright.

ACTION: The Luna receives a hail from the station.

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Sir we are being hailed
Host CO_Savar says:
FCO: Reopen the channel.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan smiles::
CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Aye reopening the channel. ::hits a few buttons:: channel opened sir
XO_Singh says:
:: Putting her report aside, stands and moves over toward OPS who has the plans for transport already prepared.::

ACTION: On the viewscreen is Dr Stradling, he appears to be having an off-screen argument with someone, the crew just catches the last few words "... no I didn't forget... look you try remembering everything that is going on here..."

Host CO_Savar says:
COM: Lassek: Is everything under control, Doctor?
CTO_Augustus says:
::tries to see who the Doctor is talking to::
Host Dr_Stradling says:
@COM: Luna: Err sorry about this Captain, would it be possible for us to beam a member of my team onboard your vessel, we had a slight accident with an EPS conduit and a member of my team was injured.  Nothing serious but our medical centre is currently offline and I would like him fit and healthy ASAP.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan walks back to "his" spot at the back of the Bridge and taps his combadge:: *CMO*: How would you like to go on another away mission Doctor?
XO_Singh says:
:: Nods::  OPS: It sounds good to me.  Work with the FCO.  Between the two of you, this should be done quickly.
CMO_McDonald says:
*CIV* Not particularly but what's going on?
Host CO_Savar says:
COM: Lassek: If it is nothing serious, we will send over a medic.
Host Dr_Stradling says:
@COM: Luna: That works just as well for us. Lassek out ::cuts the comm but not before turning to his off screen colleague and gloating::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
*CMO*: You done a good job on our last mission over on the Lampo, impressed actually. I'll tell you more if I get an yes answer.
Host CO_Savar says:
::Looks back at the Captain::  CIV: Best of luck, Mister MacPherson-Quest.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::nods:: CO: Thank you Captain
CMO_McDonald says:
*CIV*: Understood sir. I will pack a medkit and get a team assembled.
FCO_Shania says:
::works with OPS on the transport details::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Dr. McDonald will be accompanying me
XO_Singh says:
:: Looks from one captain to another and to herself::  Why do I get the impression I am missing something here?
Host CO_Savar says:
CIV: Understood.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
*CMO*: I'll meet you in Sickbay
XO_Singh says:
FCO: How long before you are finished?
CTO_Augustus says:
Self: This ship has too many secrets.
FCO_Shania says:
XO: Another 10 seconds I guess.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: I'm off to Sickbay ::turns and walks up to turbolift to head down to Sickbay::
CMO_McDonald says:
*CIV* Understood. Medit is packed and I have a medical team ready.
XO_Singh says:
:: With a nod, takes her seat, troubled.::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan steps off the turbolift and heads towards Sickbay::
CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Was that not Captain MacPherson-Quest sir?
