Host JamesGM says:
Recent sensor reports from Starbase 473 have revealed
irregular electro-magnetic signals emanating from deep
within the Eldarog nebula.  The Eldarog nebula, consisting
primarily of hydrogen, contains at least three proto-stars
that are estimated to be abuot a million years away from
condensing into recognizable solar systems.

Host JamesGM says:
You're assigned to discover what these signals are, where they're
coming from, and what impact they're having on the nearby
proto-stellar matter.

CSO_Krust says:
Cmdr: Sensors are not operating at optimal capacity.

CTACWolfe says:

DrOrlando says:
Moore: Hello Counselor...  Well, this virus is so new, that not too much is known about it...  but the only side effects I am aware of are temporary amnesia... but that is only in vulcans like the Captain here.....

Cns_Moore says:
Orlando: Interesting...........mind if i run some bioscans?

CSO_Krust says:
CO: sensors indicate ionized gases, primarily helium and hydrogen from this distance

DrOrlando says:
::surprised:: Moore: well, that's a little unusual

CTACWolfe says:
::notices some TAC systems have come back thanks to the boosted sensors.....looks over them::

Cmdr_Alar says:
Krust: Can you account for the signals coming from the nebula?

EOMallory says:
::walks around engineering, checking various systems::

CSO_Krust says:
CO: I believe they may be generated from a revolving neutron star.  However, sensors show no such phenomena at this point.

Cmdr_Alar says:
Wolfe: Are you picking up any signs of ships in the nebula?

Cns_Moore says:
Orlando: What do you mean?

DrOrlando says:
Moore: I've already run scans on the entire crew, and innoculated everyone....

DrOrlando says:
Moore: captain Love simply had a dormant strain which I didn't detect until it was active....

Cmdr_Alar says:
::leans back in the captain's seat, and monitors ship's systems::

Cns_Moore says:
Orlando: Yes but I want  modulate the frequency of the tricorder to run psycholoical and cerebral scans oh and may I review that scan data?

CTACWolfe says:
Cmdr:  Indeterminate signs.....could merely be the ionized gasses or the protostars.  Too much background interference

CSO_Krust says:
::continues to run sensor sweeps::

Host JamesGM says:
Action:  The next 2.5 days pass uneventfully.  The Pharaoh proceeds down a 'corridor' in the nebula where there are minimal amounts of ionized gas.  The Pharaoh must drop to impulse once it enters the nebula.

Cmdr_Alar says:
Wolfe: Initiate a yellow alert. I don't trust this one bit.

DrOrlando says:
Moore: well, I suppose... but don't disturb the patients...

CTACWolfe ::keys Yellow alert:: (Yellow Alert.wav)

Cns_Moore says:
Orlando: Of course not Doctor

Cns_Moore says:
Doctr: I suggest you secure the patients and yourself

FCOWaltrs says:
Alar: Aye, sir

CTACWolfe says:
CO:  Eldarog nebula dead ahead...and closing...

DrOrlando says:
Moore: For what possible reason?

CSO_Krust says:
CO: Captain, I wish to prepare a probe to detect trace gases within the nebula.

Cns_Moore says:
Orlando: I case you havent noticed the ship is on yellow alert

Cmdr_Alar says:
Krust: Agreed. Prepare a probe, and launch at your leisure.

CSO_Krust says:
::prepares probe:: Aye, Captain.

DrOrlando says:
Moore: Don't worry.. my only fear right now is that blasted EMH program....

CSO_Krust says:
::Launches probe::

CSO_Krust says:
CO: probe launched, sir

Cns_Moore says:
Orlando: An ounce of prevention.................

Cmdr_Alar says:
Krust: Report anything out of the ordinary, Ensign.

CTACWolfe says:
::swivels chair forward, facing the main viewer bulkheads.....all systems set to quiet audio alarms::

CSO_Krust says:
CO: sensor data indicates presence of a ship.

Cmdr_Alar says:
Krust: Identify.

CTACWolfe says:
::turns back around.......checking the tactical sweeps of the ship::

CSO_Krust says:
CO: unknown at this time, captain, I am continuing scans.

CSO_Krust says:
CO: the vessel appears to be stationary.  

DrOrlando says:
Moore: well, I'm sure my patients would like some peace, so if you don't mind...  ::politely showing Counselor Moore the door::

CSO_Krust says:
CO: there are no distinct power signatures.  Electromagnetic disturbances seem to be eminating from that location.

Cmdr_Alar says:
Tac: Can you identify the vessel?

CTACWolfe says:
CO:  Scanning now Commander...

CSO_Krust says:
::searches ship recognition database::

EOMallory says:
::moves over to a console and brings up an exterior sensor view of the nebula::

Cmdr_Alar says:
::hears the doors open, but doesn't bother to turn around::

CTACWolfe says:
CO:  Memory Alpha interface concludes that the ship is one of those encountered some time ago.......unidentified alien race...tremendous weapons capability....small in size, about the size of a Jem Haddar ship.

Cns_Moore says:
::sits down in his chair::

Cmdr_Alar says:
Tac: On screen, Commander.

CTACWolfe says:
::keys the main viewer::

EOMallory says:
::sees something small on the screen, and attempts to enlarge it::

CSO_Krust says:
::receives more data from probe::

Host JamesGM says:
Action:  The viewscreen shows a clearly damaged alien ship.  Several ruptures are visable.  The superconductive fluid is seen to be spilling out into the nebula.

DrOrlando says:
::looks around the Medical Bay, all is quiet::

Cns_Moore says:
CTAC: May I be of assistance?

Cmdr_Alar says:
Krust: Can you detect any lifesigns?

CTACWolfe says:
::raises an eyebrow::  Cnslr:  Can I help you?

CSO_Krust says:
CO: faint, possibly 3 or 4 beings.

EOMallory says:
::sees the rather desgusting sight of fluid spilling out of the side of a strange looking ship::

FCOWaltrs says:
::looks at nav sensors, and groans::

Cns_Moore says:
CTAc: I am offering my assistance I have extensive knowledgeof communication technologies

Cmdr_Alar says:
Moore: Counselor, your enthusiasm is appreciated, but please take a seat elsewhere.

CTACWolfe says:
Cnslr:  Well....this is the Tactical Station.......  ::wonders if the Cnslr has spent too much time reading Freud::

Cmdr_Alar says:
Tac: Can you seal the rupture without damaging their vessel?

CSO_Krust says:
CO: the probe shows the fluid to be organic in nature.

CTACWolfe says:
Cmdr:  We dont know enough about their ships to conclude whether our attempts would do more harm than good.....scans indicate that her internal structure is almost gone...I dont advise it

DrOrlando says:
::decides that his expertise is not needed in the Medical Bay and makes his way to the Bridge::

DrOrlando says:
::arrives on the Bridge and stays out of the way::

CSO_Krust says:
CO: i could learn more about their nature if I beamed over.

Cmdr_Alar says:
Wolfe: Then we also need to deal with the potential impact that this is having on the nebula and the surrounding areas.

Cns_Moore says:
CO: Might I suggest an attempt to communicate with them?

Cmdr_Alar says:
Krust: Absolutely not.

CSO_Krust says:
CO: Aye.

FCOWaltrs says:
::remembers the colony these aliens destroyed by sending a Nebula class ship to it's doom on the surface::

CTACWolfe says:
CO:  The goo is a superconductive gel....biological in nature.  Perhaps getting a sample bey beaming it aboard would be helpful?

Cmdr_Alar says:
Moore: We have encountered these aliens before- they have shown nothing but hostile intentions. Do not contact them.

EOMallory says:
::sitting comfortable in engineering, running simple engine diagnostics, and watching the ship on the little screen::

Cmdr_Alar says:
Tac: Agreed.

CSO_Krust says:
CO: I would suggest a level 5 containment field around the transporter pad, the electromagnetic properties could disturb ships systems

Cmdr_Alar says:
Tac: Make the neccesary preparations. Krust: Work with Commander Wolfe on the that.

CSO_Krust says:
CO: Life signs are becoming fainter.

DrOrlando says:
::walks forward slightly:: Alar: Have we sent a communiqué to Starfleet regarding our "find"?

CTACWolfe says:
CMO:  Doctor...please prepare a lab for the study of this goo.....highest level safety precautions.

Cmdr_Alar says:
::her tone is almost frigid in addressing the doctor:: Orlando: We will send a probe once we have cleared the nebula, doctor.

DrOrlando says:
Wolfe: Aye... on my way....

DrOrlando says:
Alar: of course, I'm just worried that this thing might not be alone in this nebula... that's all....

CSO_Krust says:
CO: one of the life signs is no longer registering.

Cmdr_Alar says:
Orlando: Your concern is noted, Doctor. I believe you have something in sickbay to examine, however.

DrOrlando says:
::goes down to the Main Science Lab and prepares for transport::

FCOWaltrs says:
::wonders if there's anything he can do to help::

Cmdr_Alar says:
Helm: Be prepared to get the heck out of here if anything goes wrong.

FCOWaltrs says:
Alar: Aye, sir

EOMallory says:
::notes the engine lag, again.:: Self:  I'll feel a lot better when we get outta here...

Cns_Moore says:
Alar: I simply beleive that it is my duty to advise you and the captain at a time like this we as a ship have never encountered thhis species they are down on their luck and it would not hurt to attempt to help the and I do not appreciate your innappropriate and unprofessional tone of voice

CTACWolfe says:
::raises an eyebrow at the Counelor:: Cnslr:  You are out of line Ensign....

CSO_Krust says:
::walks over to Counselor:: Cnsl: I suggest you mind your place, Ensign.

DrOrlando says:
::readies a level 6 containment field::

CSO_Krust says:
Tac: I have the level 5 containment field in place around transporter pad one, ready to beam a sample aboard.

DrOrlando says:
*Bridge*: Ready for transport

CTACWolfe says:
CO:  Very well...notify the chief that we will beam the goo from the transporter padd.....verify its use to us....and then relay it to the lab...

Cmdr_Alar says:
::keeps her calm impeccably:: Krust: Do it.

FCOWaltrs says:
::wonders if the aliens are doing anything to help themselves::

CSO_Krust says:
::initiates transport::

CTACWolfe says:
::raises an eyebrow at the latests tac sensor sweeps::  CO: I am picking up something unusual on sensors.....

Cns_Moore says:
::reviewsd Commander Alar's psych records and sees that she is overdue for a psychological evaluation::

Cmdr_Alar says:
Tac: Report, Commander.

CSO_Krust says:
CO: I cannot achieve a lock, sir.

FCOWaltrs says:
::lays in an escape course, just in case it's a trap::

CTACWolfe says:
CO:  Trace metal or materials are within the body of the ship...type unknown...

Cns_Moore says:
::leaves Bridge flustered:: Self: All I was trying to do was my job there are individual on that ship and they are in trouble are we not supposed to help them?

CSO_Krust says:
::tries to narrow confinementr beam

CSO_Krust says:
CO: we have lost another life sign from the alien ship, there are two remaining.

Cmdr_Alar says:
::she bites her lip:: Krust: Do you have the sample?

CSO_Krust says:
CO: I have locked onto some of the material, transporting to the lab.

Cns_Moore says:
*Alar* I sense a large amount of hostility cming from you I strongly suggest you make an appointment with me as soon as possible an emotional officer cannot attend to her duties properly

Cmdr_Alar says:
::she makes a decision that is probably be the wrong one...but...:: Tac: Can you set up a containment field large enough for the remaining two aliens?

Cmdr_Alar says:
::totally disregards the counselor::

Cns_Moore says:
::sits in his office and worries about the commander::

CSO_Krust says:
::grows more irritated with the counselor, wishes to introduce him to the business end of a bat-leth::

CTACWolfe says:
CO:  We can.....however, we would also have to beam enough of the goo over as well......would probably have to fill up a tube large enough for the aliens::

DrOrlando says:
*Bridge*: No hurry, but it's kind of boring staring at an empty container in the Science Lab... Hint, Hint!

FCOWaltrs says:
::realizes that the Cmdr just said what he wanted to suggest::

Cmdr_Alar says:
*Orlando* I suggest you regain your professional demeanor, or I will have you relieved of duty.

CTACWolfe says:
:;thinks:  Orlando needs to keep his pants on::

EOMallory says:
::notices warpcoil efficiency slowly dropping::

FCOWaltrs says:
::makes a mental note to never cross Alar::

Cmdr_Alar says:
Wolfe: I'm not going to have two more lives on my hands- let's make the arrangements immediately::

Cns_Moore says:
*Alar* All I intend to do is help you deal with what it is that is bothering you

CTACWolfe says:
CO:  Permission to help set up the containment tubes?

CSO_Krust says:
::attempts to achieve a transporter lock on the two aliens::

CSO_Krust says:
CO: attempting to lock on, captain.

Cmdr_Alar says:
*Moore* I suggest you attend to your duties, and take this up with me another time.

Cmdr_Alar says:
::is really getting sick of the attitudes on the ship- other than hers, naturally::

EOMallory says:
*Bridge*  I've been noticing engine efficiency slowly dropping.  Everything's still within saftey regulations...for now.

CSO_Krust says:
CO: I cannot achieve a lock on that large an area.  I may be able to beam them singularly, but we may need to move closer.

Cmdr_Alar says:
Mallory: Keep it together, please.

Cns_Moore says:
*Alar* I am confused the mental health of this crew is my duty as well as advising you and the Captain in situations like these but you wont let me qattend to either

FCOWaltrs says:
::thinks: great, we're losing engines...  Again!::

CTACWolfe says:
CO:  permission to be dismissed and help set up the containment fields?

Cmdr_Alar says:
::cuts the comm to the counselor- she'll deal with him later::

Cmdr_Alar says:
Wolfe: Get it done, and quickly.

CSO_Krust says:
CO: there is only one life sign remaining.

CTACWolfe says:
::hops to and leaves the bridge at a brisk walk::

CSO_Krust says:
::tries to narrow confinement beam::

CSO_Krust says:
::locks onto remaining alien::

CTACWolfe says:
::taps commbadge::  *CMO*  Doctor Orlando....I need a place to beam two roughly human sized aliens and enough of their enviornmental goo to sustain them and place them on this ship.  Suggestions?

DrOrlando says:
::still staring at empty nothingness inside the container::

EOMallory says:
::hears annoying beeps:: Self:  what, now?

EOMallory says:
::reads engine status report::

Cmdr_Alar says:
Krust: Keep me alerted as to the life signs, Ensign.

CSO_Krust says:
CO: aye.

DrOrlando says:
*Wolfe*: Well...  I have assigned quarters that I've only used once so far.. you could seal the room and beam them into there....

CSO_Krust says:
CO: I cannot achieve a lock at this distance, captain, there is too much interference from the ionized gases.

EOMallory says:
*Alar*  The warp coils appear to be beginning to...polarize.

FCOWaltrs says:
::wonders if anyone is going to tell Wolfe that one of the life signs disappeared::

CTACWolfe says:
::chuckles:: *CMO*  Very well......but I hope that you dont mind some of your stuff ruined.....

Cmdr_Alar says:
Helm: Then we need- ::hears the report from Engineering:: We need to get out of here and get a larger ship in to haul the vessel out. We can't do this on our own.

CTACWolfe says:
*Bridge*  CO:  Commander....I have a location to keep the aliens...::arrives on that deck::

Cns_Moore says:
::sits in his office awaiting some sort of order seeing as how he has not been allowed to attend to either of his duties or help in other ways::

DrOrlando says:
*Wolfe*: Not at all sir, medecine is my life....  I don't have much of anything of value in my quarters...

CSO_Krust says:
*CTAC* Commander: we have lost all but one life sign.

CTACWolfe says:
*CSO*  Understood....

CTACWolfe says:
::arrives at the quarters and enters, heading to the Doctors closet::

Cmdr_Alar says:
*Wolfe* Change of plans, Commander. The warp core is polarizing, and we need to get help getting this ship out of here.

CTACWolfe says:
*CO*  understood.....

FCOWaltrs says:
Alar: Getting us out of here, sir

CTACWolfe says:
::leaves the room::

FCOWaltrs says:
::engages what's left of the engines::

Cmdr_Alar says:
::checks the inertial dampners- that's the next thing to go, usually::

EOMallory says:
::running continuous scans of the warp core::

Host JamesGM says:
Action:  an alien body, appearing to be dead, is clearly seen on the viewscreen to be slipping out of the ruptures.  Some odd piece of metal is sticking out of it's torso.

Cmdr_Alar says:
:;watches this, and is slightly disturbed by it::

EOMallory says:
::turns to viewscreen and sees an awful sight::

CSO_Krust says:
CO: I am showing no life signs

CSO_Krust says:
::thinks 'what a dishonorable death'::

CTACWolfe says:
::arrives back on the bridge...retakes his station::

Cmdr_Alar says:
::she releases a little frustration:: Bridge: Then we get someone to help us tow them out.

CTACWolfe says:
::attempts to raise Starfleet on the comm::

EOMallory says:
::tries to put the thoughts aside and continues diagnostics::

FCOWaltrs says:
::is still piloting the ship away from the aliens, on Alar's orders::

CTACWolfe says:
CO:  We should be able to tow the Aliens ship.....well within design standards

Cmdr_Alar says:
Wolfe: I believe that we should complete our mission objective- and that was to determine the source of the signal. We have done that, and we need to get it reported.

CTACWolfe says:
*Orlando*  Stand down...looks like a change in plans

CTACWolfe says:
Alar:  perhaps it was the source of this signal that destroyed this ship...

CSO_Krust says:
All: we also need to determine it's affect on the protostars.

DrOrlando says:
*Wolfe*: And I was just starting to see some designs in the force field too..... ::a little saraastically::

CTACWolfe says:
*Orlando*  Then perhaps you should talk to the Counselor....Wolfe out

Cmdr_Alar says:
Wolfe: Perhaps- but are you willing to sacrifice this ship? I'd like to take the sensor data and shield ourselves better before we haul them out.

CSO_Krust says:
All: Keep in mind, these newly forming stars may someday aid future generations

DrOrlando says:
::thinks: no one on this ship has a sense of humor.. sheesh...::

CTACWolfe says:
Cmdr:   how much longer we can stay on station should determine that....with all do respect, the more we can find out, the better off we will be

EOMallory says:
::compensating for the slight engine drag::

FCOWaltrs says:
Alar: We're nearing the edge of the nebula, sir.  We'll be leaving it in five minutes

DrOrlando says:
::returns to the Medical Bay::

Cmdr_Alar says:
Walters: All stop- we need as much information on this as we can gather. But if this ship even looks like it's losing propulsion, we are turning around and getting out of here.
