Mission Summary:
The runabout, having been dispatched from Abertura Station, has arrived in the Jakara system, where they find that the anomaly is not in the same location as first reported.  The crew also find that the Brisbane is nowhere to be found.  The crew must now begin an investigation into both the disappearance of the Brisbane and the movement of the anomaly.

XO_Azhure says:
::Piloting the ship to the new location of the anomaly::
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
::watching her console and sees the satisfying line of green lights across the board::
CMO_Ens_Jules says:
:: looking at the console, scanning for the anomaly ::
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
::looking over Azhure's shoulder:: XO: Search faster Commander ::smiles::
Host Jim says:
ACTION:  Scans show extremely high energy readings coming from the anomaly.
CMO_Ens_Jules says:
CO:  Sir, there is an extremely high energy reading coming from the anomaly.
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
::nods:: CBO: Can our shields handle that output Ensign.
XO_Azhure says:
Humph...  CO:  We are heading for the anomaly, but with these high energy readings... they could be blocking our sensors in locating the ship.
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
CO: Aye sir.  They're holding.
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
XO: Use some probes.... let's make a sensor net. Increase our sensor gain
XO_Azhure says:
::Looks back at the CSEC and nods for him to deploy one of their few probes::
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
<Sec1> ::launches some sensor probes::
XO_Azhure says:
::As the green light goes on, she ties sensors into the probe::
XO_Azhure says:
::Creating a net between the two, she works on increasing gain.::
Host Jim says:
ACTION:  The anomaly quickly moves to a different position.
XO_Azhure says:
::Blinks::  What the...?
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
::blinks as he looks at the sensor readings:: XO: That thing move ?
CMO_Ens_Jules says:
:: blinks at the readings :: XO:  Did you see that Sir?
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
All: Um...that was rather strange.
XO_Azhure says:
::Glances down at her console then back at the anomaly.::  CMO:  So it would appear.
XO_Azhure says:
CO:  Looks like it.  Adjusting course again...
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
::mumbles:: XO: Any sign of the Brisbane ?
XO_Azhure says:
::Sends new coordinates to the sensors as she alters the ships course::  CO:  Nothing yet...
CMO_Ens_Jules says:
:: shakes her head :: Self:  Space anomalies should not move.
XO_Azhure says:
CMO:  Unless they are not natural.  See if you can get any kind of... I don't know, life readings from it.
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
CMO: After seeing the strange things in space... a moving anomaly is simply... nothing new Doctor
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
::bites her lower lip:: XO: Do you think that maybe the Brisbane got caught up inside that thing?
XO_Azhure says:
CBO:  How is your call?  Anybody responding?
XO_Azhure says:
CBO:  I hope not.
CMO_Ens_Jules says:
XO:  Aye Sir.
CMO_Ens_Jules says:
:: scans for life readings ::
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
XO: No ma'am....nothing
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
CBO/XO: Ok.... how about inside?   Will the shields hold?
CMO_Ens_Jules says:
CO:  Indeed Captain.  Perhaps you could fill me in at another time.
XO_Azhure says:
::looks at the CBO::  CO:  You would know better then we.  I am not sure.
Host Jim says:
ACTION:  The runabout moves in just a bit too close, and the anomaly moves yet again, engulfing the runabout inside of it.
XO_Azhure says:
Eppp...
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
CO: Uh oh...guess we'll find out, sir.
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
::looks back at Jules:: CMO: I would like........  ::looks back at the viewer::
XO_Azhure says:
::Brings the shuttle to a stop.::
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
CBO: Agreed....
CMO_Ens_Jules says:
XO:  I am reading no life signs at the moment Sir.
Host Jim says:
ACTION:  Sensors pick up the Brisbane.
XO_Azhure says:
CO:  I guess that answers your question.
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
CMO: Doctor...can you find the ship?
XO_Azhure says:
CO:  I am picking up the Brisbane.  Looks like they were just as stupid.
CMO_Ens_Jules says:
XO:  Confirmed.
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
::grins::   XO: Take us in for a closer look CMO: Scan them Doctor. CBO: Can you access their computers?
CMO_Ens_Jules says:
CO:  Aye Sir.
XO_Azhure says:
CO:  No two ways about it.  That anomaly moved towards us.
CMO_Ens_Jules says:
:: scans the Brisbane ::
XO_Azhure says:
::Starts the shuttle forward - SLOWLY::
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
CO: No sir....there's too much interference.
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
CBO: We'll do it the hard way....   XO: Closer please Commander... I'm guessing we'll have to beam over
CMO_Ens_Jules says:
CO:  No life signs Captain.
CMO_Ens_Jules says:
:: looks up from the console :: CO:  But, I do detect bodies.
XO_Azhure says:
::Takes the shuttle up to the side of the ship::
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
::wrinkles her nose:: Self: Yuck....bodies.
XO_Azhure says:
::Sighs::  CO:  Ready to transport over.
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
XO: Commander.... take a peek on the bridge... bring the CMO, CBO and the CSEC.
CMO_Ens_Jules says:
:: goes and gets her med kit and tricorder ::
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
::rolls eyes:: XO: I shall monitor here  ::almost growls at the thought::
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
::grabs her satchel and stands p waiting to be transported over::
XO_Azhure says:
::Putting her station on standby, she stands and walks over to the small transport unit::  CO:  I will beam over with Dawson first.  The rest of you follow after us.
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
::nods in agreement::
CMO_Ens_Jules says:
:: nods ::
XO_Azhure says:
CO:  You might see if you can dock the runabout.  ::Steps up and activates the transport.::
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
XO: I shall be docking on deck 2.
XO_Azhure says:
@::The shimmer of the transport and she finds herself on the bridge of the Brisbane, phaser in hand.::
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
@;;shimmers alongside the XO with her phaser out::
Host Jim says:
ACTION:  As the crew transport over, they find the lifeless bodies of the Brisbane's crew.
XO_Azhure says:
@::Her eyes slowly move around the bridge as she notes her companions joining her.::
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
:;sits in the pilot's seat and brings the runabout into docking position::
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
@::gulps quietly and looks over at the OPS station:: XO: Ma'am...I can get to their computer from there.
XO_Azhure says:
@CBO:  Do it, but be careful of what you touch.  For that matter, try not to touch anything with your bare hands.
CMO_Ens_Jules says:
:: beams over ::
XO_Azhure says:
@::nods to the doctor::  CMO:  There are your patients... I am afraid you are a bit late though.  I want to know what they died of.
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
@::looks over at her thinking she's little crazy...but shrugs and tries to figure out how to operate a touch screen without touching it::
CMO_Ens_Jules says:
@ :: gets her tricorder and goes to the nearest body and scans it. ::
XO_Azhure says:
@*CO*:  It doesn't look good.
CMO_Ens_Jules says:
@ XO:  This one appears to have died of old age.   :: moves to the nearest console and looks up the identity of the body she scanned ::
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
COM: Brisbane: XO: I have docked the runabout... I will attempt to gain access to the airlock system of the Brisbane
XO_Azhure says:
@::Moves over to the doctor::  CMO:  This ship should have a compliment of 45 and I doubt that many were of an age to die of old age.
Host Jim says:
ACTION:  The airlock system gets jammed.
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
::mumbles::
XO_Azhure says:
@CMO:  Same order doc.  Touch nothing with your bare hands.
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
::looks at the docking mechanism of the Brisbane::
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
@::tries to use the console by poking at it with a PADD then finally has no choice but to touch it.  Uses just the little tip of her little finger...figures she wouldn't miss that too much if it fell off::
CMO_Ens_Jules says:
@ :: looks up from the console :; XO:  You would be correct Commander.  The body I scanned was only 30 years old.
XO_Azhure says:
@Security: Head out and see what you can discover.  And TOUCH nothing.  Report back in about 15 minutes.
XO_Azhure says:
@CMO:  A virus?
XO_Azhure says:
@CMO:  Can you tell how long they have been dead?
CMO_Ens_Jules says:
@ XO:  I am uncertain at this time Sir.  I will need to run more tests.
CMO_Ens_Jules says:
:: goes back to the body and gets a tissue sample ::
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
COM: Brisbane: XO: Cancel the docking access... I cannot get the Brisbane's docking mechanism to function.... I am beaming over to the bridge.
XO_Azhure says:
@CMO:  I assume their sickbay is available.  Lets see what is waiting us there.
XO_Azhure says:
*CO*:  Aye sir.  We are heading to sickbay.
CMO_Ens_Jules says:
@ XO:  That was my next suggestion Sir.  With your permission, I'll head that way.
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
::changes the transport coordinates to sickbay::
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
@:;starts to download the computer logs:: XO: I can stay here and try to get things working.  Like the airlock. ::grins::
XO_Azhure says:
@CMO:  Lets go.
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
::steps in the transporter and transports to sickbay::
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor  (Transport.wav)
XO_Azhure says:
@CBO:  That would be nice.  Keep me updated.  I leave you with the security officer.
CMO_Ens_Jules says:
XO:  Very well Commander.  :: heads to sickbay::
XO_Azhure says:
::Follows along, taking scans with her tricorder as she goes.::
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
::arrives in sickbay and looks around::
XO_Azhure says:
::Motions with her hand::  CMO:  I believe the medical bay is on the next deck.
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
*CBO*: Anything from the logs Ensign?
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
::looks over at the wrinkled carcass of the OPS officer lying on the floor by the console:: Dead OPS: Boy...I hope I don't end up that wrinkled.
CMO_Ens_Jules says:
:: nods at the XO ::
Host Jim says:
ACTION:  The CO finds a couple more bodies in sickbay, including the Brisbane's CMO.
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
*CO*: Still downloading, sir.
XO_Azhure says:
::Finding a turbolift, she steps into it::
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
::shakes head:: Self: This is not a way to die
XO_Azhure says:
::As the turbolift stops, she steps off, her phaser in one hand, her tricorder in the other.::  CMO:  So far, so good... for us at least.  ::nods down the hall.::
CMO_Ens_Jules says:
XO:  If you say so Sir.
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
Computer: Computer... play back the CMO's last log.
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
::watching the logs:: *CO*: All I'm getting is that they knew they were growing older but didn't know how to stop it. ::looks down at the carcass again:: Obviously.
XO_Azhure says:
::Enters sickbay, noting the captains arrival.::
XO_Azhure says:
CMO:  See to your tests.
CMO_Ens_Jules says:
:: enters sickbay ::  XO:  Ens Dawson said they knew they were aging, correct?
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
XO: I believe the correct vernacular is "Welcome to the party?"
XO_Azhure says:
CMO:  That is what it sounded like.
CMO_Ens_Jules says:
:: turns her tricorder on the XO and looks at the readings ::
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
::starts to feel a little creeped out with all the wrinkled corpses lying around staring sightlessly at her.  Visions of old Earth vids come to mind where the living dead walked::
CMO_Ens_Jules says:
XO:  And so are you Commander.
Host Jim says:
ACTION:  The CMO's log notes that he was trying everything in his power to find a way to stop the aging....but at the time, he was unsuccessful.  He had left his formulas in the database.
XO_Azhure says:
CO:  Old friend, you and I will never agree on parties.  ::Steps over a body as she moves toward one of the occupied medical beds.::
CMO_Ens_Jules says:
:: scans the Captain next :: CO:  And you as well Captain.
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
CMO: Doctor... I believe I have the CMO's last log here. ::points to console::
XO_Azhure says:
CMO:  How quickly?
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
::starts to download the science logs and data on the anomaly, humming to herself:: This old man...he played one...he played knick-knack on my thumb....
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
CMO: I hope you will be more successful physician that this CMO.... fix us Doctor.
CMO_Ens_Jules says:
:; scans herself :: CO/XO:  We all are.
CMO_Ens_Jules says:
XO:  One moment Commander.  :: makes some calculations ::
XO_Azhure says:
CO:  Did our orders say when the Brisbane was last heard from?
CMO_Ens_Jules says:
XO:  At this rate, we will all be dead in about 2 days Commander.
CMO_Ens_Jules says:
CO:  I will certainly try Captain.
XO_Azhure says:
CMO:  All of us?
CMO_Ens_Jules says:
XO:  Yes Commander, all of us.
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
*CBO*: Is the ship functional?  Can we pilot her out of the anomaly?
CMO_Ens_Jules says:
:: moves to the console displaying the Brisbane CMO's logs and begins going through the formulas ::
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
*CO*: Aye sir...the only thing not working is the airlock. ::eyes the corpses:: And..well..the crew...
XO_Azhure says:
CMO:  I am aging that much faster then you?  ::shakes head::  CMO:  Lets start at a different angle from the doctors... once we see what he did.
CMO_Ens_Jules says:
XO:  Commander, you are aging at a rate faster than the rest of us.  The Captain and I are aging at approximately the same rate.
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
XO: I am going to the bridge... I am getting this ship out of the anomaly.
CMO_Ens_Jules says:
XO:  I am going to try and ascertain that Commander.
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
:;exits sickbay and head to the turbolift::
XO_Azhure says:
CO:  I have a feeling there is a connection between us and the aging.
XO_Azhure says:
*CO*:  I would think they tried to leave as well as we have.  Unless... maybe they left it till to late in their curiosity.
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
*XO*: Or they waited to long... I am leaving....
CMO_Ens_Jules says:
:: grunts to herself as she goes through the Doctor's formulas ::
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
:;exits the turbolift on the bridge::
XO_Azhure says:
::Under her breath with a grin::  I think that is what I said...  CMO:  let’s hope that is why they are still here.
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
::nods to Dawson:: CBO: Progress?
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
::sits down at the helm::
CMO_Ens_Jules says:
XO:  I hope so Commander.
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
::turns to him:: CO: I've got most of the logs and science data downloaded.  Power and engines are on-line.
Host Jim says:
ACTION:  The CO notices that the CBO now has quite a few gray hairs on her head.
XO_Azhure says:
CMO:  I am going to check out the ships hold.  Will you be fine here?
CMO_Ens_Jules says:
XO:  Yes Commander.
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
::looks at the CBO's hair:: CBO: Understood.
XO_Azhure says:
::with a nod, she heads out for the ships cargo bay.::
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
CO: Sir?  ::hesitantly:: Am I going to look like that? ::points to the OPS' corpse::
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
::plots a course out of the anomaly and engages the engines at one quarter impulse::
CMO_Ens_Jules says:
:: begins to try and recalculate some of the formulas and run it through a simulation using the tissue sample she took earlier ::
Host Jim says:
ACTION:  The Brisbane is moving, but it doesn't appear to be able to get any closer to the edge of the anomaly.
CMO_Ens_Jules says:
:: while waiting on the computer, takes a tissue sample from herself ::
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
::frowns and increases speed::
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
::looks at the sensors:: CO: Sir....we don't seem to be making any progress.  I think that anomaly is following us.
XO_Azhure says:
::Arriving in the hold, she does a quick but through search::
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
::pounds his fist on the console:: CBO: What is this lunacy?
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
CBO: I am going to attempt the warp engines... hang on to something... warp 1
CMO_Ens_Jules says:
:: puts her tissue sample in and recalculates the formula again ::
Host Jim says:
ACTION:  Warp engines go offline.
Host CO_Cmdr_M`Tor says:
Self: KHEST !
CBO_Ens_Dawson says:
CO: Warp engines are off-line.  Hmmm..they were fine a minute ago. ::thinks:: CO: Sir....do you think that maybe we can try to talk to it?   I got a feeling it might be doing all of this.
XO_Azhure says:
::Finding nothing of import, she heads out of the bay and searches the rest of the ship::
