Mission Summary:
Two days ago SFC lost all contact with the USS Brisbane.  The Brisbane was sent to investigate a strange anomaly in the Jakara system.  All attempts to communicate with the Brisbane have failed.
The Abertura has been ordered to send a runabout to the Brisbane's last know coordinates to investigate and render any aid, until further help from the USS Lagoda arrives.

XO_Azhure says:
::In the shuttle, doing a flight check::
CMO_Ens_Karindar_Jules says:
:: checking her med kit before getting on the shuttle ::
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
::steps into the back of the shuttle and stores gear away:: XO: Ma'am....all the supplies are ready. ::grins::
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
::enters the launchbay and watches the crew rush around::
CSec_LtJG_Powers says:
::In the shuttle, his III-c slung over his back, and Jean-Marc and Laroush carrying a box between them::
XO_Azhure says:
::Looks back::  CBO:  Great.  Did you bring some extra munchies? ::Smiles before turning back::  Preferably not alive.
CMO_Ens_Karindar_Jules says:
:: walks towards the shuttle ::
CMO_Ens_Karindar_Jules says:
:: looks up and sees the Captain :: CO:  Captain.  :: nods ::
XO_Azhure says:
*CO*:  Shuttle is ready.
CSec_LtJG_Powers says:
Laroush: Stow it in the armory.  Jean-Marc: Go check the charges on the rifles aboard, then arm yourselves.
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
::laughs:: XO: Ma'am, I got replicator recipes that will make you curl up in delight.  Especially my triple gooey chocolate cake.  But for now....I got these delicious ration bars.
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
::walks the runabout with his dufflebag:: CMO: Doctor... ::nods::
XO_Azhure says:
::Wrinkles her nose::  CBO:  I hope those are not the Klingon ones.  That, or you get to go back to cooking school.
XO_Azhure says:
::Starts the engine warm-up::
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
::enters the runabout and looks around for a seat:: All: Status?
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
::walks up to the front and grins, leaning over the XO's shoulder looking at the panel before turning back::XO: Believe me, ma'am.  Since I gotta eat them...I made sure they at least taste halfway good.
CMO_Ens_Karindar_Jules says:
:: steps onto the runabout and stows her gear and sits ::
XO_Azhure says:
CO:  Ready on this end.
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
::shakes his head as he wants to check himself the Engineering console::
CMO_Ens_Karindar_Jules says:
CO:  Medical is prepared.
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
::straightens up::XO: Ma'am...need a co-pilot?  I'm fully qualified.
CSec_LtJG_Powers says:
CO: Armory is stocked.  I brought the beaut along, just in case.
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
::grunts in approval at the CSEC::
XO_Azhure says:
::nods to Dawson::  CBO:  Warm up the seat before our captain claims it.
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
::grins and jumps in:: XO: Aye, aye ma'am.
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
::looks down at Azhure and smiles:: XO: You are always the humorous one Commander ::smiles::
XO_Azhure says:
::Raises an eyebrow::  CO:  Not I.  Ready to lift off on your command.
CMO_Ens_Karindar_Jules says:
:: grins at the XO ::
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
::runs a quick check on the co-pilot station:: XO: All set, ma'am.
XO_Azhure says:
::Nods::
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
::finds an empty seat:: All: I hope you all have your last will and testament's in order:: XO: Lift us off Commander.   I believe the correct vernacular is "May fortune favor the foolish"
CMO_Ens_Karindar_Jules says:
:: looks at M`Tor ::  CO:  Today is a good day to die.
CSec_LtJG_Powers says:
::Watches Laroush and Jean-Marc come back out into the main area and stand at ease in the rear::
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
::nods to Jules:: CMO: The day is not yet over Ensign
XO_Azhure says:
::Lifts off::  CO:  Humph, unlike some, I am up to date on this...  ::The runabout glides GENTLY, off the tarmac.::
CMO_Ens_Karindar_Jules says:
:: nods in approval of the CO ::
XO_Azhure says:
::As the ship clears the atmosphere, she heads for the set coordinates::  CO:  ETA, 12 hours.
Host Jim says:
ACTION:  In a flash of light, the runabout heads toward the Jakara system.
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
XO: Faster would be appreciated.... perhaps we can coax a bit more speed out of her
CMO_Ens_Karindar_Jules says:
:: hears the CO and tightens her safety belt ::
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
::silently agrees with the CO. 12 hours sitting in this seat and she'd have a numb bottom::
XO_Azhure says:
::Nods her head, slowly increasing the warp to just under the limit::
XO_Azhure says:
CO:  ETA down to 6 hours at maximum speed.
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
::smiles:: XO: I like that better
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
::grins to herself.  At least only half her bottom will be numb then::
XO_Azhure says:
CO:  Good, because you are the only engineer aboard, so you can put her together again if needed.
Host Jim says:
ACTION:  The crew feels the runabout shudder a bit as the XO notices a spike in one of the power grids.
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
::smiles:: XO: I can take her apart and make one more runa.........................  ::frowns:: XO: What was that?
XO_Azhure says:
Hmmm...  ::Takes the ship down to warp 4::  CO:  Looks like I spoke in time.  A spike in one of the grids.
CMO_Ens_Karindar_Jules says:
:: leans her head back as the runabout shakes ::
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
All: That shouldn't have happened. ::looks over her board for readouts::
XO_Azhure says:
::Traces the spike::
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
CBO: How is your Engineering rating Miss Dawson?
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
::grins:: CO: I passed all my classes, sir.  And I did complete the OPS training so I'm rated EO 1st class.
XO_Azhure says:
::Her hands run along the console, not finding anything wrong::  CBO:  Hmmm... then would you mind checking under your panel.  That is as far as I can trace it.
XO_Azhure says:
Computer:  Run a level 7 diagnostic.
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
CBO: Take a look at the power grid... get us back to maximum warp as soon as possible... sooner if possible
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
CO/XO: Aye, sirs. ::hops down and crawls under her panel checking the boards and circuits::
XO_Azhure says:
CBO:  I think you need to head back toward the plasma coil.  I am getting no sensor readings from that area.
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
::crawls out:: XO: Aye ma'am....my console checks out. ::walks past the crew towards the back:: All: Excuse me...sorry...excuse me.
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
CMO: Sensor readings Doctor?
CMO_Ens_Karindar_Jules says:
:": looks down at the console ::
XO_Azhure says:
CBO:  Computer says the problem is in the plasma coil, though I am still not getting any sensor readings.  Might be a short there.
CMO_Ens_Karindar_Jules says:
CO:  Nothing right now Captain.
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
::squeezes past one of the cute burly sec guys and gives him a smile before opening up the back panel to get to the plasma coil readouts:: XO: Aye ma'am...checking now
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
::reaches in her pocket and pulls out a diagnostic tool.  Runs it over the circuits slowly::
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
::mumbles:: CSEC: Status Lt.?
CSec_LtJG_Powers says:
CO: Same old, sir.  There's four phaser rifles aboard, fully charged, plus what we brought aboard.
XO_Azhure says:
::Glances back::  CBO:  How’s it going back there?  ::Glance at Powers::
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
CSEC: Good.... we have no idea what's going on over there... how are the runabout's weapon systems?
Host Jim says:
ACTION:  Diagnostics detect the short in the system.
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
XO: Still checking ma'am. ::her tongue sticks out the side of her mouth as she slowly checks each circuit:: Ahhh...here it is..I got it!
XO_Azhure says:
CBO:  Good.
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
XO: Let me just replace this board and we should be good to go.
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
::pops the new board in and resets the circuits::
Host Jim says:
ACTION:  System returns to normal.
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
XO: Try it now, ma'am.
XO_Azhure says:
::The sensor light comes back on, turning from red to green::  CBO:  Your hired.
CSec_LtJG_Powers says:
::Walks over to a free console and taps into the weapons systems::  CO: All green.  Full compliment of micro torpedoes.
XO_Azhure says:
CO:  Ready to resume previous speed.  ::Goes back to warp 6::
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
::returns to the front grinning:: XO: Thank you, ma'am. ::hops back into the co-pilot seat::
CMO_Ens_Karindar_Jules says:
:; looks back down at the console and sensors ::
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
::nods:: CBO: That was a satisfactory job Ensign
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
CSEC: Excellent.
CSec_LtJG_Powers says:
CO: Indeed.
Host Jim says:
ACTION:  The runabout is now 3 hours from the Brisbane’s last known location.  LRS do not detect any ship in that area.
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
::grins a bit shyly:: CO: Thank you, sir. ::sits up a bit straighter in her seat::
XO_Azhure says:
CO:  ETA at approximately 3 hours.  Holding steady.
CMO_Ens_Karindar_Jules says:
CO:  Still nothing on sensors Sir.
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
::nods while reading his copy of Klingon Shakespeare::
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
::stretches in her seat and looks at her console:: CO: Sir..we're within hailing distance of the Jakara system.
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
CBO: Let the USS Brisbane we are closing in on their position. Hail them.
XO_Azhure says:
::Arching her back to stretch out the kinks, she holds back a yawn::
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
COM: Brisbane: This is the Runabout Mississippi.  Respond, please.
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
::listens to the silence:: CBO: I take it no one is answering?
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
COM: Brisbane: Brisbane respond...this is the Runabout Mississippi.
CSec_LtJG_Powers says:
::Scratches his back::
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
::shakes her head:: CO: No sir....nothing.
XO_Azhure says:
::Glances down at her sensors with a frown::  CO:  I have the anomaly on sensors, but nothing of the Brisbane.
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
XO: What is the anomaly all about?  Is it large or small?
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
::sends out a general hail to the surrounding area::
XO_Azhure says:
CO:  It would appear it is larger then earlier recorded.
Host Jim says:
ACTION:  The runabout enters the Jakara system.
XO_Azhure says:
::Frowns::  CO:  It also appears to be in the wrong spot... ::Shakes head::  Verifying cooridinates.
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
XO: Larger ?  Hmmm... take us close in... keep us away from it for now....
XO_Azhure says:
CO:  Entering the Jakara system.  Going to full impulse.
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
XO: My guess is it is moving.... attempt to adjust your course accordingly....
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
CMO: Doctor... some additional sensors readings would be appreciated.
XO_Azhure says:
CO:  Altering course.
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
::looks at her console and the out the window:: Self: Wow...
CMO_Ens_Karindar_Jules says:
:: looks at her sensors ::
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
CBO: Shields up.
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
::raises shields:: CO: Shields up sir.
CMO_Ens_Karindar_Jules says:
CO:  I can only read the anomaly Sir.
