James_Ferrone:
::sitting in XO chair::

Philip_Thibaudeau:
:: At science One on bridge ::

Miracle_Worker:
::looks into Jeffries tube::

RAJarrett:
::at engingeering fiddling::

Host Geoff_vTrek:
::Standing, watching the viewer as we enter the Nebula::

merced:
:at science on the bridge:

DA_Enterprises:
::sitting at ops reconfiguring console::

Haasquatch:
::assumes position on the bridge by science and behind Tactical::

Philip_Thibaudeau:
XO : I reccomand we launch to probes to clear the pathway for us Sir ... just in case

merced:
:checking any new data:

Miracle_Worker:
::watches over warp core::

James_Ferrone:
::looks at captain and decides on whether to ask the question or not::

DrSweet:
::standing on bridge staring at viewscreen in wonder::

Astal has joined the conversation.

Host Geoff_vTrek:
::notices look:: Ferrone:  Is there something on your mind?

James_Ferrone:
Lowell:  ::nods::  Fire one... and see what we get.

RAJarrett:
Scott: Charlie, one thing I should warn you about, the PseudoPlanetaryMatterConstrictor sometimes fluxuates and I haven't locked it down yet.

Philip_Thibaudeau:
XO : Aye Sir ....

WOOFFER has joined the conversation.

James_Ferrone:
Thompson:  sir...  I just finished reading up on the last report made...

Miracle_Worker:
Rob: You want me to take a look at it?

merced:
lowell:  records do indicate a lost , possibly crashed starship in this sector

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Ferrone:  And?

James_Ferrone:
Thompson: from the Crusader.

DrSweet:
::watching Ferrone like a hawk.  Subtley though::

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Ferrone:  Oh.  I see.

James_Ferrone:
THompson: And... well... you served on that ship sir.

Philip_Thibaudeau:
Kendra : Configure a probe I for an immediate launch , telemetry set on radio signals and gravity field distortion ...

RAJarrett:
Scott: Nah, it shouldn't be neccesary.

Haasquatch:
captain:  I read the reports from the Crusader.  Could it be possible there is a Borg Base located in the Nebula that is causing these readings?

merced:
lowell: aye

James_Ferrone:
You have firsthand knowledge of what hapened in there.

Astal has left the conversation.

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Ferrone:  Unfortunately, we never had the time to survey the nebula.

Miracle_Worker:
::groans::

Philip_Thibaudeau:
:: Checking the records about the ship Kendra just mentionned ::

merced:
lowell:   probe ready

RAJarrett:
::realigns the InverseDuaneticEnergyArray::

DrSweet:
::walks to Science one::  Lowell:  Mind if I join you, Lowell?

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Ferrone:  But safety first.  Go to yellow alert.  Shields up.

Philip_Thibaudeau:
Kendra : Launch and monitor it at your convenience 

James_Ferrone:
Sir... ::hesitates::

Miracle_Worker:
::walks over to replicator:: Computer, iced tea. Sweetened.

Miracle_Worker:
::spits out tea:: Oh, great! Yellow Alert.

merced:
lowell: probe lauched

Philip_Thibaudeau:
Xo : Sir ...??

James_Ferrone:
::punches a few keys::

James_Ferrone:
Yellow Alert.

DA_Enterprises:
Capt: our LR sensor reading are still being reflected back at us.

Philip_Thibaudeau:
Kendra : Acknowleged ... report any unusual readings

merced:
;jeez what does he want?::

RAJarrett:
Scott: Charlie, If your the one spilling gloppy messes on the floor...

merced:
lowell: aye

James_Ferrone:
::stands up and heads to tac::

Miracle_Worker:
Rob: Hey, it's just water!

Philip_Thibaudeau:
Xo : Sir ...??

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Ferrone:  James, we didn't have time for much obsevation.  The attack came suddenly.  Let's just be careful.

James_Ferrone:
Lowell:  yes?

DrSweet:
Morgan:  MInd if I join You?

Miracle_Worker:
Rob: I have an idea for the LR sensors.

RAJarrett:
Scott: Hmm.. Think you could grab me one of those?

merced:
UMmmmmm i guess so

James_Ferrone:
::Sees Hassquatch::  hmmm... you've got Tactical, Ensign.

RAJarrett:
Scott: Whats your idea?

James_Ferrone:
::moves over to Lowell::

Haasquatch:
Aye sir

Miracle_Worker:
::walks over to replicator, again:: Computer, another ice tea.

Host Geoff_vTrek:
ACTION - the Miranda encounters some buffeting in the Nebula.

DA_Enterprises:
::trys to adjust LR sensors to compensate::

Philip_Thibaudeau:
Xo; Record show a lost ship in this sector ... it was not on starfllet record because that was a settlement ship armed by a private group .... during late XXII Century sir

Miracle_Worker:
Rob: I believe a BioStellarMagneticField penetrate the interference.

WOOFFER has left the conversation.

merced:
lowell;  any further reports on the borg?

DrSweet:
Morgan:  I understand we may be dealing with an intelligent lifeform.  It'd probably be a good idea if I stay appraised in case of contact ::grabs console to keep from falling::

Haasquatch:
Capt:  Shields are holding steady.  

DA_Enterprises:
Capt: we've encountered a gravitic disturbance.  checking

James_Ferrone:
::looks at the captain to see if he heard Lowell's report::

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Haas:  Keep an eye on them, Ensign.

RAJarrett:
Scott: Hmm If we try a manual bypass do you think we can solve the BioStellarMagneticField Problem?

Philip_Thibaudeau:
Kendra : Looks like the Borgs looked tired to snoop in this region .... no more reoprt since the Crusader

merced:
Lowell:  probes do indicate some kind of "barrieer"

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Lowell:  Interesting...  any chance of debris collision?

Miracle_Worker:
Rob: Nope. It'll put too much stress on the EPS conduits when we feed in more power.

Haasquatch:
Capt: since we know there has been Borg activity here I suggest we pre program our shields to modulate frequencies should we need them

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Haas:  Do it.

Philip_Thibaudeau:
Captain : I don't think so the wreckage must have occured about  years ago the debris will have moved awy long time ago Sir

Haasquatch:
Aye sir

RAJarrett:
Scott: But if we reroute the extra power through bilateral conduit C that should solve it.

James_Ferrone:
Lowell:  Good work...  ::looks away and heads back to seat::

DrSweet:
Merced:  What do you think the chances are of your theory bearing fruit?

Philip_Thibaudeau:
Captain : Probe one report a E/M barrier dead ahead .... distance 45000 km ...

Philip_Thibaudeau:
Xo : Thanks Sir 

Host Geoff_vTrek:
*Pentium*  Mr Pentium, please join us on the bridge.

Miracle_Worker:
Rob: We'll still conserve power using the Magnetic Field. Besides, going through conduit C will require rerouting a lot of the ship's power through the secondary power grid.

Miracle_Worker:
Rob: Go on, I'll keep working on it.

James_Ferrone:
::sits down and watches the viewscreen::

merced:
stevens: pretty fruitful

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Lowell:  Slow us to one quarter impulse.  See if we can get a visual.

DA_Enterprises:
::checks SIF::

RAJarrett:
Scott: Alright, but if you need a hand just tell me.

Miracle_Worker:
Rob: I'll keep her together...My family line always does!

DrSweet:
Morgan:  Any ideas as to what kind of lifeform is in there?  ::glances toward main viewer::

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Patton:  Slow us to one quarter impulse.  See if we can get a visual.

DA_Enterprises:
Capt: slowing to one quarter impulse, sir.

merced:
lowell: well, sure if records are correct i believe they would be terrans

DrSweet:
Morgan:  Really?  

Philip_Thibaudeau:
Captain : The barrier will be in visualrange in 2mn Sir ... Continuing analysis ... you'll have a report ASAP

James_Ferrone:
Lowell:  Scan to see if this is where that Morse signal was emanating from...

merced:
stevens: yes

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Ferrone:  See if we can get a better visual.  Have OPS increase power to sensors.

Philip_Thibaudeau:
Xo : Aye Sir ...

Miracle_Worker:
::continues construction of BioSpacePressurizedConstrictor for new warp drive::

DA_Enterprises:
XO:rerouting power to sensors

DrSweet:
Morgan:  This could prove to be very interesting.

merced:
lowell; the morse code is just circling no way to tell the exact location of its origin

James_Ferrone:
Patton:  ::smiles:: Thank you.

RAJarrett:
::runs a diagnostic::

merced:
:shrugs:

Philip_Thibaudeau:
Kendra : Ok ,.... 

James_Ferrone:
Thompson:  How's that for service?  ::grins::

DA_Enterprises:
XO:yes, sir

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Bridge Crew:  Can we get a translation of that Morse signal?

Host Geoff_vTrek:
::smiles at Ferrone::

Haasquatch:
::why morse.  why such an old style signal?::

Haasquatch:
Capt:  Working on it captain

Miracle_Worker:
*Pentium* Scott to Pentium.

DrSweet:
::watching see how Ferrone handles situation::

Philip_Thibaudeau:
Captain : The Morse signal is defintly an SOS, distress call used from the early XX century till the end of XXII century sir ...

RAJarrett:
*Scott*:Pentium Here.

DA_Enterprises:
Capt: i don't know why, but our LR sensors are still being reflected back.  However, our probes are working fine.

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Lowell:  What other civilizations used Morse?

Philip_Thibaudeau:
Captain : That would confirm that the source is somehow the settlement ship supposedly crashed in this sector ... they were human

Miracle_Worker:
*Pentium* I just ran simulations on your power transfer solutions. They'll burn out nearly an eighth of the backup power grid in the stardrive section.

James_Ferrone:
::wonders how Zed is doing in Sick Bay?::

Host Geoff_vTrek:
::thinking aloud::  Well, that narrows it down...  ::frowns::

Philip_Thibaudeau:
Captain : According to our knowl;eged none Sir

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Lowell:  Try to gat a firmer fix on the transmission location.

Philip_Thibaudeau:
Kendra : Aye Sir ...

Haasquatch:
Captain: only earth used Morse.  other cultures used similar types of code but Morse is an Earth language

Philip_Thibaudeau:
<OOOPPPPS Captain >

RAJarrett:
Scott: Well, thats what sim's are for, were gonna need a major reroute without burning out anything.

James_Ferrone:
Morgan:  What is the current range of our sensors in this nebula?

Miracle_Worker:
*Pentium* Also, using the Magnetic Field will increase accuracy by a factor of 3.

merced:
lowell: the code is"floating"  can not get an origin

Host Geoff_vTrek:
ACTION - Main power simply dies.  Emerg. power comes on.

Miracle_Worker:
What the heck?!?

RAJarrett:
Shoot!

James_Ferrone:
Thompson:  (W) What if something else is out....  ::notices power dying::

Philip_Thibaudeau:
Kendra : Get ready to launch probe two with a setting on Life form And Gonio pinpointing .... we are gonna track that signal down ....

Host Geoff_vTrek:
::looks at Ferrone::  Report!

merced:
james:normal range sir

RAJarrett:
Bloody Federation...!!!

Miracle_Worker:
*Pentium* I didn't touch anything!

DrSweet:
What the &^%$ !!??

Haasquatch:
Capt; we've lost power to the Shields were down 70%

merced:
lowell: aye

Miracle_Worker:
::starts resource transfer to backup grid::

James_Ferrone:
::looks at display screen::  We've lost all main power... Emergency power is functioning at 75%

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Pentium:  Get us working, Ensign!

DA_Enterprises:
Capt: all sensors down.  We've lost contact with probes

Host Geoff_vTrek:
::frowns:: Dammit!

merced:
:shoot:

RAJarrett:
*Captain*:Hold on Sir!

Haasquatch:
Capt: Life support is still fully functioning

DA_Enterprises:
::hands flying over console::

Miracle_Worker:
*Pentium* The warp core just went dead. All antimatter reactions have been stopped.

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Patton:  Are we mobile?

James_Ferrone:
Patton:  Try to divert some emergency power to our sensors...

Philip_Thibaudeau:
*Penthium* I need power NOW ... c'mon do a miracle !!!

James_Ferrone:
Thompson:  Maybe we can see what's out there now?

Miracle_Worker:
::starts looking over power readouts and sensor logs::

DA_Enterprises:
Capt: we have reaction thrusters only

RAJarrett:
Scott: A plasma relay blew in the power loss, we wont be able to get back on line without.

DrSweet:
CaPt:  Have we tried sending out a response on all frequencies?  Perhaps we've managed to scare someone out there

DA_Enterprises:
XO:aye sir

RAJarrett:
Scott:could you take care of it?

merced:
lowell: if we emit a wide band frequency maybe we will get a response

Host Geoff_vTrek:
::arches brow::  Ferrone:  Maybe...  Screen on full magnification.

Haasquatch:
Capt: We may be able to use the power from the phaser batteries.  We'll still have Photons for defense.

DA_Enterprises:
::hands flying over console::

RAJarrett:
::Runs over to warp core::

Miracle_Worker:
Rob: Working on it...Hold on!

Philip_Thibaudeau:
Kendra : Good idea .... as soon as we get some juice back !!

merced:
:D

RAJarrett:
::opens panel thingy::

James_Ferrone:
::looks up at Tac::  Have we tried to hail the ship?

Miracle_Worker:
::notices slight increase in DuoTronic emissions from a point in the nebula::

DA_Enterprises:
Capt:sensors now on emergency power.  They're at 20%

Miracle_Worker:
Rob: Over here! I've got something.

merced:
lowell: i think we can squeeze through

RAJarrett:
::sparks fly from the panel::

Host Geoff_vTrek:
ACTION - Odd looking ship appears on viewer.

Philip_Thibaudeau:
Kendra : So DO IT !!

RAJarrett:
::Yells:: Scott: What is it?

RAJarrett:
::runs over to scott::

merced:
lowell: ON it

DA_Enterprises:
Capt: sensor and visual contact with unidentified vessel

Miracle_Worker:
::screams over sparks:: DuoTronic emissions went off the scale right before power drop.

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Lowell:  Identity of that ship?

DrSweet:
::moves to capts left hand.  Staring at viewer::  What is that?

Philip_Thibaudeau:
:: At least she reacts ...<g> ::

James_Ferrone:
::begins to feel queezy::

Miracle_Worker:
Rob: That would overload the core, and shut down main power. I can fix it.

Haasquatch:
::Thinks, well this is one way to make a first contact::

merced:
lowell: there's an eye in the nebula that may put us dead center

James_Ferrone:
::swallows hard::

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Stevens:  Ever seen anything like that before?

Philip_Thibaudeau:
Captain : Looking to the general desgin I would say ....

RAJarrett:
::dodges sparks:: Scott: Get on it I have to fix that plasma relay!

Philip_Thibaudeau:
Captain : TOTALLY unknown Sir .....

Miracle_Worker:
::runs over to warp core console II::

RAJarrett:
::runs out of engineering::

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Okay, open a frequency.  All bands.

DrSweet:
Capt:  Hmmmm...not that I recall.

Miracle_Worker:
::starts inputing new plasma intermix::

RAJarrett:
::opens jeffries tube::

RAJarrett:
::climbs in::

Haasquatch:
Capt;  They're using morse.  Perhaps we should communicate in kind.

Miracle_Worker:
<warp core> Hmmmm.....::groan::

DA_Enterprises:
Capt: i'm getting no life reading from that ship.  but with sensors in this condition that's not unusual

RAJarrett:
::thinks:: 'oh, the thing isn't too bad'

lonacher has joined the conversation.

James_Ferrone:
::mumbles:: Using Morse?

Host Geoff_vTrek:
COM: Attention unknown vessel.  This is Captain James Thompson of the Federation Starhip Miranda.  Please identify.  ::looks at Lowell and Haas::  Send that in Morse as well.

RAJarrett:
::pulls out his trusty MultiHarmonicMagneticCollector::

Miracle_Worker:
::fixes "bumps" in the new intermix::

Haasquatch:
Capt: AAye sir

Philip_Thibaudeau:
Captain : Aye Sir ... transmitting 

DrSweet:
::quietly to Capt::  I suggest a VERY friendly message Capt.  Were in no mood to fight our way out of hear.

RAJarrett:
::plasma conduit bends slightly::

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Stevens:  You're right.  Thanks.

Miracle_Worker:
<warp core> ::klunk:: Grrrrr.....

James_Ferrone:
Haas:  How far are we into the nebula?

Miracle_Worker:
::notices main power coming on line::

DrSweet:
Capt:  We're in no shape either <g>

Miracle_Worker:
*Pentium* Scott to Pentium. Main power on-line.

James_Ferrone:
::stands up and walks to the "top" of the bridge::

Haasquatch:
Ferrone: Sir we are at the center

RAJarrett:
*Scott* :report!

merced:
::continues scans:

Host Geoff_vTrek:
::notices power restoring::

RAJarrett:
*Scott*:good job ensign, I just finished here, too.

Miracle_Worker:
*Pentium* I've been able to reintermix the plasma to combat the DuoTronic emissions.

Host Geoff_vTrek:
cheyrl - go word infinty tavern

James_Ferrone:
Haas:  How long would it take to get out of here?

DA_Enterprises:
Capt: fullpower has been restored  to sensors.  I'm now getting faint life signs

RAJarrett:
*Captain*: main power online!!

Host Geoff_vTrek:
*Pentium* Good work.

RAJarrett:
Climbs out of tube::

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Haas:  Re-send my message.

Miracle_Worker:
::hangs over console...Heaving BIG breaths::

merced:
lowell: let's get it

RAJarrett:
Reaffixes cover to tube::

Haasquatch:
Ferrone: on impulse it would take us 15 hours sir

DrSweet:
::breathes sigh of relief as power comes up::

RAJarrett:
::runs back into engineering::

Philip_Thibaudeau:
Kendra : As you wish ...

James_Ferrone:
Haas:  Can you scan it...?  

DA_Enterprises:
::checks sensor readings twice::

Miracle_Worker:
Rob: Well...That was fun!

Haasquatch:
Capt: message is being repeated in a loop until we recieve a response sir

James_Ferrone:
::puts hands on rails looking intensly at the screen::

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Haas:  I want to know the second we do.

merced:
lowell: i think im picking something up

Haasquatch:
Scanners can't penitrate well on minimal power

RAJarrett:
::panting:: Scott: in a twisted sort of way, Yah.

Haasquatch:
capt; aye sir

Philip_Thibaudeau:
Kendra : Ok ... 

RAJarrett:
::finishes screwing around::

Philip_Thibaudeau:
Kendra : I need to go to the database core for further research you take science one !!!

merced:
lowell: aye 

Miracle_Worker:
::starts guzzling down pitcher of ice tea, then hands the rest to Rob::

RAJarrett:
Scott: lets fix this consoles, they sparked up baddly.

DrSweet:
Capt:  Perhaps the ship is unmanned?  They would have answered by now.

merced:
:takes sci i

Philip_Thibaudeau:
Captain : Permission to down to Databas core for further resaerch .. ??

James_Ferrone:
Patton:  Reroute some power to Tac...

Miracle_Worker:
::walks over to console::

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Bridge Crew:  Come on people...  I want to know what we have here.

RAJarrett:
::takes pitcher and slurps up the rest::

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Lowell:  Granted.

merced:
Captain:  the ship shows no life forms

Philip_Thibaudeau:
Captain : On my way sir ...

DA_Enterprises:
Capt: aye sir

merced:
Captain: dead in the water so to speak

RAJarrett:
::removes access panel from underneath console::

Haasquatch:
Lt. Ferrone;  The ship is made of an Iron tritanium alloy.  our phasers won't penitrate but our photons will be effective

RAJarrett:
::climbs under::

Miracle_Worker:
::pulls out "hand me down" RearSpatialDynamicCoil spanner and starts fixing console::

James_Ferrone:
Haas: Life Signs?

merced:
Capt:  i suggest we try to download their computers

Host Geoff_vTrek:
<vessel> *Miranda*  This is an SOS.  ANy vessels, we are under attack and need immediate assistance.  This is an SOS, we are....  

James_Ferrone:
::looks back up at the screen::

Philip_Thibaudeau:
<Calypso> This is the Terran Ship Calypso who are you ? And what are your intention .... you are trespassing in our vital space ...

RAJarrett:
::twist the PseudoHarmonicPlasmaConstrictor::

DA_Enterprises:
Haas: you should have sufficient power.

Host Geoff_vTrek:
::the message repeats::

Haasquatch:
Capt: reading 150 humaniod life signs sir

RAJarrett:
::this console flares to life::

DrSweet:
::to noone in particular::  That doesnt sound real promising.

John_vTrek has joined the conversation.

Miracle_Worker:
::more sparks fly, and power seeps in::

Haasquatch:
We are getting a response sir

RAJarrett:
Scott: whoa! You OK?

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Haas:  On screen

RAJarrett:
Climbs out::

Haasquatch:
Capt;  aye sir

Miracle_Worker:
Rob: Jumped back just in time.

DrSweet:
::watching intently::

RAJarrett:
::reafixes panel::

James_Ferrone:
::walks down the catwalk to beidge center::

Host Geoff_vTrek:
::looks at viewer intently::

Miracle_Worker:
::walks over to table::

Philip_Thibaudeau:

<Calypso> This is the Terran Ship Calypso who are you ? And what are your intention .... you are trespassing in our vital space ...

Haasquatch:
:: screen has image of a humaniod life form

DA_Enterprises:
Capt: I've got a make on that ship!  It's early Centauran! Not Human!

RAJarrett:
::walks over to panel on another console::

James_Ferrone:
::looks at the screen::

merced:
capt: our sensors arent reading any power

RAJarrett:
::removes it::

Miracle_Worker:
OH GREAT! My BioSpacePressurizedConstrictor is ruined. It was crucial in my new warp drive

Host Geoff_vTrek:
*Calypso* As I stated earlier, we are simply trying to gain your identity.  We are the Federation Starship Miranda.  We come in peace to investigate this nebula.

Philip_Thibaudeau:
<Calypso> Please respond at once .... we will not tolerate any intrusion further to our honmeworld ...

DrSweet:
::whispering::  Capt:  Careful.  They seem very protective and suspicious.  They may not have had any contact with others in a long time.

James_Ferrone:
::mumbles:: Homeworld?

Host Geoff_vTrek:
::gives Haas the "mute" sign::

RAJarrett:
Scott: well they'll always be time later to rebuild.

Philip_Thibaudeau:
<Calypso> You have no RIGHT to investigate ....

Haasquatch:
Capt: muted

Philip_Thibaudeau:
:: <Calypso> Move to face the Miranda dead ahead ::

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Lowell:  Do we, or do we not have any lifesigns on that ship?

merced:
Capt:: i suggest sending old earth "friendly""messages

RAJarrett:
::fiddles with the console::

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Morgan:  Good idea.

merced:
:continues monitorin:

Haasquatch:
Capt: why are they transmiting an SOS if they don't want to be bothered

DA_Enterprises:
Capt: did you get my last report?  That's an early Centauran vessel!

James_Ferrone:
Maybe they havn't had time to turn it off....?

Philip_Thibaudeau:
*Captain* I am in the databases core to see if we have anything on this ship ... please ask Morgan she is one SCI Onee sir

John_vTrek has left the conversation.

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Haas:  I don't know.  But I intend to find out.

RAJarrett:
::flicks one last switch::

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Morgan:  Any lifesigns over there?

merced:
haas: it was sent when they first crashed and it is caught up in the time rift

merced:
Capt: yes and no

RAJarrett:
::all panels in ENG power back to life::

RAJarrett:
'I always love watching that'.

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Morgan:  Explain.

Miracle_Worker:
::shields eyes:: AHHHH.

Haasquatch:
merced: how long of a time rift do you suppose it's been caught?

Philip_Thibaudeau:
<Calypso> What are you looking for .... space to invade and new territories to conquer .... we know you even if you have changed your ship design ....

merced:
haas:200 yrs

DrSweet:
Capt:  I suggest an immediate withdrawal.  We can talk to them, AFTER we've backed out of their front yard.  We can also talk over theoretical time dynamics in a safer environment.

Haasquatch:
:: long signal::

merced:
Capt: sir initial readings indicate life forms but i get very "weak" vitals"" lindicating no life forms aboard

Host Geoff_vTrek:
::thinks::  Stevens:  This is too strange to back away from.  Morgan:  Can the Transporters penetrate their hull?

Miracle_Worker:
::starts rubbing eyes:: Man did that ever hurt! Please tell me when you're going to do that, okay?

merced:
capt::checking

Haasquatch:
Capt:  we may want to at least ffind out who they think we are before we go.  JUst to give us some background

DA_Enterprises:
*Lowell* Try looking under Centauran vessels of the 21 century.  It may be there.

Philip_Thibaudeau:
*Captain * .... I think you'd like to know that the settlers were all specialized in artificial intelligence and robotic.

James_Ferrone:
::begins thinking of something to say::

RAJarrett:
Scott:Oh ya, sorry 'bout that.

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Haas:  Do it.  Communicate in Morse to make them more comfortable.

merced:
Capt: i believe we can

Haasquatch:
Capt: aye sir

gene_vtrek has joined the conversation.

Miracle_Worker:
::gathers scrap parts from fried constrictor, and grabs a free welder::

DrSweet:
Haas:  Any possibility this could be a trap?  This doesn't seem to fit quite right?

Philip_Thibaudeau:
<Calypso> Miranda ... please note that we are ready to crash our ship on yours to stop you if necessary ....

James_Ferrone:
::face blanches at the word "trap"::

merced:
Capt: i suggest we back off until they realize we are friendly

Host Geoff_vTrek:
::looks at Lowell::  Patton:  Back us off 10,000km.

Haasquatch:
DR: Most traps are designed to destroy.  Thay seem to just want us to leave

James_Ferrone:
Thomspon:  Sir.. If this is a trap we need to get out of here...

DrSweet:
::notices Ferrone's response::  Ferrone:  You ok?

DA_Enterprises:
Capt: aye sir

ceibo has joined the conversation.

DA_Enterprises:
::mves ship backwards::

RAJarrett:
::makes a slight change in the matter/anit-matter mix::

zyrc has joined the conversation.

James_Ferrone:
Stevens:  uhh... yes.. I'm fine.

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Haas:  Progress?

Philip_Thibaudeau:
<Calypso> Please back off  this is our last warning ... we will accompany you to get sure you are moving away ...

merced:
Capt: do you think we can tap into the ships computers??

James_Ferrone:
::begins to concentrate on display panel beside chair::

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Patton:  Move us another 10,000km back.

DA_Enterprises:
*Lowell* did you get my last message?  Check 21 century Centauran vessels.

DrSweet:
Ferrone:  You sure?  You seem a little shaken?  YOu always sweat like that when you meet another ship?

Haasquatch:
Capt:  it seems they believe us to be the Southern alliance oon alfa centauri.  They appear to be the northern alliance

Miracle_Worker:
::looks over at Rob:: I'm going to Sickbay for a moment. Got a splitting headache.

merced:
capt: maybe then it may "relay" the location of the colony

DA_Enterprises:
Capt: moving back sir.

James_Ferrone:
::glares at Stevens:: I'm fine...

RAJarrett:
Scott:was anything else damaged in the powerloss?

Philip_Thibaudeau:
ACTION <Calypso> power up engines >

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Haas:  Transmit a brief history of this vessel and the Federation.  Make tham understand, quickly.

merced:
::continues monitoring::

DrSweet:
Ferrone:  Yes sir!!

James_Ferrone:
CO:  Sir.. I've done a little analyzing...

Haasquatch:
Capt;  Aye sir transmitting

merced:
Capt:: the ship has powered up

Miracle_Worker:
Rob: Not that I know of. Who's the doc that's replaced Sze?

James_Ferrone:
CO:  It seems that individually we've got the tactical advantage... but if there are more of them out there...

merced:
Capt:??

DA_Enterprises:
Capt: they are powering up engines and matching our moves.

Host Geoff_vTrek:
::hears Kendra::  Damn...  Patton:  Keep us at a preset distance from them.

DA_Enterprises:
Capt: Aye

RAJarrett:
Scott: Good, and about the doc, I'm not sure, haven't been up to sickbay recently.

merced:
Capt:: if the BorgWERE here recently-- they may not believe us

Miracle_Worker:
Rob: Doesn't matter, I'll go get something for this headache myself. I'll be back.

Miracle_Worker:
::moves to TL:: Deck 5

James_Ferrone:
Captain...  A thought just occured to me...

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Morgan:  Well, we must MAKE them believe.

James_Ferrone:
What if they think we're just Borg?

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Ferrone:  Please, do tell.

merced:
Capt:: aye

DrSweet:
Capt:  Maybe if we offer to send a delegation to their ship...an act of friendship so to speak.  

Miracle_Worker:
::walks out of TL and goes to Sickbay::

Philip_Thibaudeau:
<Calypso> Your ship is not going the right way .... did you enslaved some new world since our last encounter <sounds sarcatic>

James_Ferrone:
Different ship... different faces... but after the same goal?

merced:
Capt: initiating all known friendly frequencies

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Ferrone:  Possible.  I am hoping our last transmission will avert that decision.

Miracle_Worker:
::gets hypospray from container and returns to TL::

DA_Enterprises:
Capt: Thaye are starting to gain on us.  Compensating.

merced:
:continues monitoring:

James_Ferrone:
Haas:  How are our shields?

ceibo has left the conversation.

ceibo has joined the conversation.

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Patton:  Keep it up.  I don't want them near to us yet.

merced:
Capt:: may I suggest we move on and give them something to think on

gene_vtrek has left the conversation.

merced:
Capt: we can always return

Haasquatch:
capt:  It may be that the Centaurans of both the Northern and Southern Alliances had colonized this section of space 200 years ago and kept up the hostilities

Miracle_Worker:
TL: Deck 12

lonacher has left the conversation.

ceibo has left the conversation.

Haasquatch:
Ferrone; Shields are back to 80

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Haas:  Have they received our transmission yet?

James_Ferrone:
Haas:  :nods::

merced:
Capt: we need to investigate the othe planets

Miracle_Worker:
::walks out of TL and injects hypospray:: ahhhh....I'm back. Anything new?

Philip_Thibaudeau:
<Calypso> United Federation of Planets ... ??

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Morgan:  Seems we can't just walk away yet, Ensign.

Haasquatch:
Capt: Yes sir.  We are waiting for their response

DrSweet:
Capt:  I'll volunteer to beam over as a peaceful liason.  If noones over there maybe I can figure out a way to turn the ship off?

James_Ferrone:
::looks back at terminal::

Philip_Thibaudeau:
ACTION <Calypso> Stops ...

James_Ferrone:
::runs a few searches::

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Patton:  All stop!

merced:
Capt:: they are responding

Haasquatch:
Capt: Calypso is hailing sir

DA_Enterprises:
Capt: she's stopped. We have too.

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Haas:  On screen.

Philip_Thibaudeau:
<Calypso> ..... WHO are you .... ??

RAJarrett:
Scott: everythings good, so far.

James_Ferrone:
Sir...  the Borg path during the Wolf incident did come near here...  ::whispered it all::

Philip_Thibaudeau:
<Calypso> .... Where are you from ....

Haasquatch:
Capt: aye sir on screen;;Calypso capt appears on screen

merced:
:wow:

Host Geoff_vTrek:
We are representatives of the United Federation of Planets.  We mean no trespass, and we come in peace.

Miracle_Worker:
::sits down and starts rewelding constrictor::

Host Geoff_vTrek:
::quietlt to Morgan::  Any lifesigns yet?

DA_Enterprises:
::Capt of other ship looks alot like me!::

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Morgan:  I want to know if anyone is REALLY over there.

Philip_Thibaudeau:
<Calypso> In peace .... with an armed Vessel ? Strange way to go .... you are looking for a Pax Romana ??

merced:
Capt:<w> no

DA_Enterprises:
::stres at screen::

RAJarrett:
::works on getting the shields to optimium::

Host Geoff_vTrek:
::thinks quick::  *Vessel*  We have important trade purchases to make on Pax Romana.  We carry many goods.

merced:
Capt: <W> i believe they areusing the ship as a relay

DA_Enterprises:
::stares that is::

Miracle_Worker:
::puts down welder:: Need some help?

merced:
:continues scans::

Philip_Thibaudeau:
<Calypso> You sure looks different from our last ....... uninvited guest ....

James_Ferrone:
::glances at Stevens and wonders if I was being to harsh::

RAJarrett:
Scott: If you could check out shield emitters six and three, I;m always having trouble with them.

Philip_Thibaudeau:
<Calypso> Captain , we are not interested in trade ..... at least for goods ....

DrSweet:
::looks away from Ferrone::

DA_Enterprises:
::turns to XO:: Sir, see the resemblance? <whispered>

Host Geoff_vTrek:
*Calypso* I understand.  Can we offer you any assistance?  We picked up your distress signal.

Miracle_Worker:
Rob: Sure. ::walks over to MSD::

James_Ferrone:
::nods to Patton::

DA_Enterprises:
::points between me and screen::

RAJarrett:
::does a simple reroute::

Haasquatch:
::wonders if they want bionic arms::

Philip_Thibaudeau:
<Calypso> We don't need assistance anymore this radio signal is a timeloop generated by a time distortion ... it is about 200 years old ....

Host Geoff_vTrek:
::looks at Haas and gives the "mute" signal::

Miracle_Worker:
::checks graviton output of #3&6::

Haasquatch:
Capt: mute on sir

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Bridge Crew:  If ther is nobody over there, who am I talking to?

James_Ferrone:
A sofisticated AI response?

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Patton:  Any ideas from your past, Ensign?

Philip_Thibaudeau:
<Calypso> But if you came to assist ..... maybe we could find a way to communicate

merced:
capt:: it's a relay signal

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Morgan:  Trace the origin, Ensign.

Miracle_Worker:
::notices glitch in one of the graviton generators::

merced:
Capt: i've been working on that

RAJarrett:
'arrgh, A little power splotch blew.'

Haasquatch:
Capt: It's been indicated that they are into robotics.  Could they be cyborgs or robots that our sensors are not responding to?

Philip_Thibaudeau:
<Calypso> Have you anything to do with the cubic people ??

RAJarrett:
Scott: Stay here I have to go repair a little error.

merced:
Haas: we could reconfigure sensors

Miracle_Worker:
Rob: Ah...Here's the problem. A graviton generator in each of the shields has a bad power feed.

Haasquatch:
merced: lets get on it

DA_Enterprises:
::sighs with relief::Capt: that vessel is a 200 yr old Centauran ship.  We were never advanced with AI or robotics until recently.

merced:
haas:on it

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Haas:  I think that is the only conclusion.  Give them all ifo we have on the Borg, except our battles with them.  I don't want to give away any of our Technology yet.

Miracle_Worker:
*Rob* I would say that we need to swap out each of them when we go in for repairs.

Haasquatch:
Capt: aye sir.  Transmiting to the Calypso now.

James_Ferrone:
CO:  They've probably scanned us already....  ::still looking at the screen::

merced:
Haas: no indications of machines as people

RAJarrett:
Scott: Alright you work on the generators while I patch up a little error and then Ill come help ya.

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Ferrone:  I know.  Just being a little overcautious, I guess.

RAJarrett:
Scott: see if you can find a temp solutaion.

James_Ferrone:
Morgan:  Perhaps they are able to mask their life signs from sensors some how?

Miracle_Worker:
*Rob* Okey dokey.

RAJarrett:
::heads out door::

Haasquatch:
Merced; check for computer generated hol- images

merced:
james: possible

merced:
Haas: already hav

RAJarrett:
Goes to TL::

Philip_Thibaudeau:
<Calypso> Your technology (rather primitive) is not the one of the cubic people ....

Miracle_Worker:
::starts fiddling with graviton generation subroutine::

Host Geoff_vTrek:
::gives Haas the "resume communications" sign::

merced:
Haas: trying to track down a power beam

RAJarrett:
TL: deck 14.

Haasquatch:
Capt: comm open sir

RAJarrett:
::gets out at Deck 14::

DA_Enterprises:
Capt: Remember when our LR sensors were being reflected back?  I'm picking up a localized version of it aboard their vessel.

DrSweet:
Capt:  I suggest playing "inferior" sir.  We just got them calmed down.

Host Geoff_vTrek:
*Calypso*  We would be honored to send a delegation to your vessel, to meet and discuss the "cubic" ones.

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Stevens:  Ahead of you, Daniel.

merced:
Capt: won't further probes indicate hostility to them??

RAJarrett:
::heads over to far wall at first intersection::

DrSweet:
::smiles::

Miracle_Worker:
::gets gravitons to level out at a lower generation rate::

RAJarrett:
:Pulls off wall thingy::

Philip_Thibaudeau:
<Calypso> Please power down ALL your weapons system and follow us ....

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Morgan:  Right.  No further probes for now.

merced:
Capt: aye

RAJarrett:
::zaps burn out spot::

James_Ferrone:
::looks at captain intensely::

merced:
::phwew::

DrSweet:
::looks at Ferrone intensely::

James_Ferrone:
::shakes head at the power down remark::

Host Geoff_vTrek:
*Calypso* Very well.  We thank you.  ::Gives HAas the "terminate" sign::

Haasquatch:
Capt: our phasers wont penetrate anyway. only our photons will breach their hull.  

RAJarrett:
'oh its burnt solid'

DA_Enterprises:
Capt: that local reflection leads me to believe they are indeed masking something over there.

merced:
: i hope they are friendly::

Haasquatch:
::terminates signal::

DrSweet:
::notes the questioning of capts. authority::

Miracle_Worker:
*Rob* I've got a temporary fix, but the catch is that shield power at 3&6 will be at 93%.

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Haas:  Can we keep Torpedos on standby wothout them detecting?

James_Ferrone:
Thompson:  We're at their mercy now

RAJarrett:
::pulls out hammer and chisel from a pocketless uniform::

Philip_Thibaudeau:
ACTION <Calypso> turns back and accelerate to Warp 6

SmallFrog has joined the conversation.

Haasquatch:
Capt: Yes sir, their sensors are a100 yrs behind ours.

merced:
Capt:: i detect power down from the ship

DrSweet:
Ferrone:  They appear to be peaceful sir.  Perhaps we should do what they ask.

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Ferrone:  Mr. Ferrone, relax.  I don't do anything without goos\d cayse.

Host Geoff_vTrek:
good

RAJarrett:
Scott: Oh well the others are still good.

Philip_Thibaudeau:
<Calypso> Follow us ... and we said ALL weapons Miranda 

merced:
:continues monitoring::

James_Ferrone:
::still doesn't seem convinced::

Host Geoff_vTrek:
Haas:  Put Torps on standby.  Patton:  Set in a course and follow them.

James_Ferrone:
Aye sir...

RAJarrett:
::tink, tink::

DrSweet:
::still not convinced Ferrone is Ok::

Haasquatch:
Capt: aye sir Photons on stand by

DA_Enterprises:
Haas: if it becomes necessary we can punch through their underbelly with phasers.  If I remember the class correctly.    Capt: following sir.

RAJarrett:
::gives a big whack::

Philip_Thibaudeau:
ACTION The Nebulae fades out as the <Calypso> accelerate

Miracle_Worker:
::rubs back of neck, and feels deck vibrate::
