CEO_Rydyll says:
::in Engineering finishing up the alterations to the holo-emitters::
Host OPS_H`lo says:
::sitting at the helm humming something::
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
*CO*: Ma'am the bio-reading have been changed to show Pakleds and holo-filters are in place to show visual::
CO_Sacul says:
*CMO*: Good work Doctor.
CTO_Lt_Sonri says:
CO: Sir all tactical scans come back as negative ships in area.
Host OPS_H`lo says:
::looks back to Sacul:: CO: Ma`am, ETA 15mins...sensors on passive ?
CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  Make it so Mister H'lo.
CO_Sacul says:
CTO:  Acknowledged...keep your eye on them.
CEO_Rydyll says:
::checks the emitters and finds one side of their fake Pakled ship is missing::
Host OPS_H`lo says:
::mumbles:: Self: She sound like some other Captain... I just can’t place it...   
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
::heads up to the bridge and takes a seat at the science station::
CTO_Lt_Sonri says:
CO: Understood sir.
CEO_Rydyll says:
::grunts something in Zaldan and starts to reconfigure the central port holo-emitter::
CO_Sacul says:
OPS: Slow us to one quarter impulse.  Let's take our time.
EO_Slow says:
::Is suddenly very glad she can't speak Zaldan and her translator is off::
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
::pulls up the sensors and reads the readouts::
Host OPS_H`lo says:
CO: We’ll be dropping outside the system in............ 5.... 4....3....
Host OPS_H`lo says:
CO: ....................   2....1..... 1/4 impulse Ma`am.
CO_Sacul says:
:: nods at H'lo ::  OPS:  Steady as she goes.
Host OPS_H`lo says:
::looks down at sensors:: All: KHEST !
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
::looks over to the view screen as they exit warp::
CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  What is it?
CTO_Lt_Sonri says:
::uses a parametric subspace field stress scan to search for cloaked ships::
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
::hears the OPS yells and look back at sensors::
Host OPS_H`lo says:
CO: Ma`am...we are not in the Psi Tauri system.
CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  Then where are we?
CTO_Lt_Sonri says:
::hears OPS::  OPS: We are where????
Host OPS_H`lo says:
Self: This is not possible... I know how to fly.... 
CO_Sacul says:
:: stands from her chair and approaches OPS ::  OPS:  Where the hell have you take us?
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
::pulls up a star chart and cross references there location::
Host OPS_H`lo says:
CO: Ma`am   LCARS identifies the system as the Talos star group.
CEO_Rydyll says:
::reinitializes the holo-program and smiles as the Pakled ship appears::
CEO_Rydyll says:
::shuts down the program:: *CO* Rydyll to the Bridge.
CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  WHAT!!!!
CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  Get us out of here.
CTO_Lt_Sonri says:
::redoes scans quickly::
CO_Sacul says:
*CEO*: Go ahead Chief.
CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  Now!!!!
Host OPS_H`lo says:
CO: Aye.... I ..............  Ma`am...... the ship is now at 1/2 impulse... towards planet IV of this system.
CTO_Lt_Sonri says:
CO: Scans still show nothing.
CEO_Rydyll says:
*CO* The holo-emitters and program are operational.
CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  I said turn us around Mister H'lo....NOW!
Host OPS_H`lo says:
CO: Ma`am.... I am trying.... the ship is not responding at all.
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
::tries to get helm control from his station::
CO_Sacul says:
*CEO*:  Good Chief.....we may be needing as much power to the engines as we can muster...be prepared.
CEO_Rydyll says:
::moves to the pool table to see what's happening with the ship::
Host OPS_H`lo says:
::mumbles:: CO: If I read this right....   Ma`am.... the Pharaoh is heading for a standard orbit.
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
::keeps getting access denied from his console::
CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  And why is that?  Are you not flying this ship?
Host OPS_H`lo says:
CO: Ummmmm.... the ship is taking us there Ma`am... not I
CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  Well, tell it to turn us around and out of here.
CEO_Rydyll says:
::sets a diagnostic and moves to the other end of the table::
Host OPS_H`lo says:
::looks up:: CO: I have been trying to Ma`am... this ship has a mind of it’s own.
CO_Sacul says:
All:  No one talk to anyone outside this ship or make any aggressive movements.
CTO_Lt_Sonri says:
::nods at the captain::
CO_Sacul says:
CMO:  Doctor, you have the bridge.
CO_Sacul says:
:: walks to her ready room and pulls up the info on Talos. ::
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
CO: Aye ma'am ::looks a bit worried::
CTO_Lt_Sonri says:
CMO: Relax you will do fine.
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
::looks at the big chair and takes a seat with a nod at the CTO::
CO_Sacul says:
:: finishes reading the info and exits her ready room and looks around the bridge ::
Host OPS_H`lo says:
CO: Ummmm... ETA..... 4 minutes at present speed.
CO_Sacul says:
*CEO*:  Chief, I need you on the bridge.
CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  Do everything you can to take us away from here.
CEO_Rydyll says:
*CO* Understood, Captain.
CTO_Lt_Sonri says:
CO: Scans still read no cloaked ships or any ships for that matter.
CEO_Rydyll says:
EO_Jo: Jo!  Take over!  I'll be on the bridge. ::walks out::
CO_Sacul says:
CTO:  Keep up the good work Lt.
Host OPS_H`lo says:
CO: I have been trying Captain..... the ship just keeps going to planet IV... ETA 3 minutes to orbit.
CTO_Lt_Sonri says:
::nods at the CO:: CO: Understood sir.
CEO_Rydyll says:
::takes the lift and arrives near the bridge::
CEO_Rydyll says:
::enters the bridge and heads to the Engineering station:: CO: You wanted me here, Ma'am.
CO_Sacul says:
CEO:  Yes...
Host OPS_H`lo says:
CO: Still the same Captain..... ETA 2 minutes to orbit.
CO_Sacul says:
All:  Listen up.....
CO_Sacul says:
All:  General order 7 prohibits us being here.
CTO_Lt_Sonri says:
::turns and listens::
CO_Sacul says:
All:  It carries with it a penalty of death.
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
::takes his position back at the science station::
Host OPS_H`lo says:
::blinks::
CO_Sacul says:
All: We have to focus all our energies on leaving this system and interacting with no one here.
CTO_Lt_Sonri says:
::nods in agreement::
CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  Keep trying Mister H'lo
Host OPS_H`lo says:
::looks at board::  CO: Ma`am.... we are entering orbit now.
CTO_Lt_Sonri says:
::nods in understanding sensing the heightened emotions of the bridge crew::
CEO_Rydyll says:
::checks the engines to see why they can't leave under their own power::
CO_Sacul says:
All:  Let's focus on this problem and get ourselves out of here.
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
CO: Ma'am I'm no engineer but if we have no controls over our helm how do we leave this planet?
CO_Sacul says:
CMO:  I'm not an engineer either Doctor, so I'll have to leave that to the professionals as to what the problem is.
CO_Sacul says:
All:  Let's find answers people.
CTO_Lt_Sonri says:
CO: Sir, I don't know much about engineering but isn't there a way we can manually drive the ship out of here???
CTO_Lt_Sonri says:
CO: Something like using the thrusters to steer with?
CEO_Rydyll says:
OPS: Have you completed a diagnostic on the navigational systems?  Do you show them to be working properly?
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
CTO: On thrusters it would take years to get out of the system.
CO_Sacul says:
CTO:  Possibly Lt, I'm going to wait on Mister Rydyll's assessment of the situation.
CTO_Lt_Sonri says:
CMO: Ships inertia should help with that.  Quick impulse burst and use the thrusters.
CEO_Rydyll says:
All: I am working on the situation.  At this time, it is impossible to simply pull the solution out of my backside.  The answer will be coming, however.
Host OPS_H`lo says:
CEO: Everything is working like it’s supposed to...... except it’s just not answering my commands.
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
CO: Hotwiring
Host OPS_H`lo says:
CO: Captain... I am getting a distress signal from the planet below.
CO_Sacul says:
CMO:  Hotwiring???
CEO_Rydyll says:
CO: Captain, I suggest we launch a probe to see if there is something against the ship we are not detecting.
Host OPS_H`lo says:
CO: Sensors show this planet to have suffered a nuclear holocaust...some 25,000 years ago... or so.
CO_Sacul says:
CEO:  Make it so Chief.
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
CO: Ma'am during the resistance may cell had take over Cardassian ships by some they called hotwiring. Something about bypassing all major systems
CO_Sacul says:
CMO:  Get with the Chief on that Doctor.
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
CO: Not sure how they did it but I though the idea could help the CEO.
CO_Sacul says:
CMO:  Scan the surface for life signs.
CO_Sacul says:
CTO:  Make sure there is not threat to us should we decide to go down there.
CEO_Rydyll says:
CMO: We have bypasses to do such a thing.  I am trying them now, as I am sure Mr. H'Lo already has.
CO_Sacul says:
CEO:  Keep working on getting us out of here.
CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  Let's hear that distress call.
CTO_Lt_Sonri says:
CO: Understood sir running scans now sir.
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
CO: Aye Captain. ::runs sensor over the planet surface::
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
CO: Ma'am I'm not getting life signs on the surface... but it looks like I have something under the surface.
CTO_Lt_Sonri says:
::ties in the tactical sensors::
Host OPS_H`lo says:
ACTION: On the speakers the crew hear 3 short beeps followed by 3 long beeps followed by 3 short beeps... a pause then it repeats.
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
CO: Captain I can't make the out the life sign but something is alive down there
CTO_Lt_Sonri says:
CO: Sir I do not see anything that is potentially hazardous but I know that code.
CO_Sacul says:
CTO:  What is it Lt?
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
::looks confused and turns toward the captain chair:: ALL: Malfunction?
Host OPS_H`lo says:
CO: Morse Code Captain.... SOS....... old form of distress signal from Earth.
CEO_Rydyll says:
::moves to secondary navigational systems:: OPS: Try that, Mr. H'Lo.
CTO_Lt_Sonri says:
CO: That code was used by ancient earth radio as an S.O.S.  Other wise save our souls.
Host OPS_H`lo says:
ACTION: The probe does not launch
CEO_Rydyll says:
::gets notice that the probe didn't launch properly::
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
CTO: A distress call?
CO_Sacul says:
CMO/CTO:  Any debris on the surface?
Host OPS_H`lo says:
::nods to Balena:: CMO: Correct Doctor.
CEO_Rydyll says:
CO: The probe couldn't launch, Captain.  Diagnostics on the launching system are happening now.
CTO_Lt_Sonri says:
CO: Yes sir.
CO_Sacul says:
CEO:  Keep at it Chief.
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
::turns back to his console and scans for debris in orbit or on the surface::
CTO_Lt_Sonri says:
CO: Old ancient ships that were called boats used that distress signal.  It went world wide during the World Wars and into the early 21st century.  It was typical of that period.
CO_Sacul says:
:: pinches the bridge of her nose ::  All:  We can't ignore a distress call.  :: sighs ::
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
CO: Ma'am, no debris in orbit or the surface.
CEO_Rydyll says:
*EO_Slow*: Manual check on that probe.  Did the launcher fail or cold it not leave the ship?
CO_Sacul says:
CMO:  Thank you Doctor.
Host OPS_H`lo says:
CO: The northernmost continent is the source of the signal and life signs Captain... near as I can tell.... life signs are underground.
EO_Slow says:
*CEO*: Right away. ::heads to check the launcher herself::
CO_Sacul says:
:: nods at H'lo making her decision ::  CTO/CMO:  Prepare for away team duty.  We're going down there.
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
CO: Ma'am its against protocol for you to go down there
CTO_Lt_Sonri says:
CO: Understood sir.  *Security*: Make a detail with hand phasers and phase rifles and meet me in the Transporter room immediately.
CO_Sacul says:
CMO:  It's only not allowed if I got without an armed escort.  :: smiles :: And I'll have my tactical chief here to guard me.
Security says:
*CTO*: Understood sir.
CO_Sacul says:
CTO:  Belay that Lt.  No more than 3 plus yourself and the Doctor and I.
CTO_Lt_Sonri says:
CO: Understood sir scaling back security detail.
EO_Slow says:
*CEO*: The launcher is fine Ma'am.  I don't know what happened.
CTO_Lt_Sonri says:
*Security*: Make that three and no more.
CEO_Rydyll says:
CO: Captain, are you certain transport is even possible?
CO_Sacul says:
CEO:  You in charge.  Keep working on getting us out of here.
CEO_Rydyll says:
CO: Understood, Captain.
CO_Sacul says:
CEO:  No Chief, I'm not, but there is a distress signal originating from that planet and it's my duty to investigate.
