:: looks twice at the sensors :: XO:  Sir, I'm picking up a faint signal on LRS.
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
CNS: I think you just jinxed us Chris.
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
CSO: What's the signature?
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
::Smiles:: XO: I guess so Commander. ::He looks over at the CSO::
CSO_Ltjg_Eiluj says:
XO:  Looks to be a federation signal Sir.  Perhaps a distress signal.  I'll try and boost sensors.
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
CSO: Patch it in to OPS, let's hear it.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Feels kind of like the bad guy being  that they had to tell their young son that his favourite buddy had perished.::
CSO_Ltjg_Eiluj says:
XO:  I can't be sure of the signature.
SO_Ens_Alezka says:
::His thoughts drift slowly. He considers his friendship with Lieutenant Lai...and at the same time wonders why Ensign Davenport, his nice assistant, is always flirting with him. Things are so complicated and the young man is quite unsure how to deal with it all::
CSO_Ltjg_Eiluj says:
XO:  Aye.   :: punches a few buttons on her console :: Transferring to OPS now.
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
*EO* How are repairs going, Lt?   :: Putting another PADD in the 'outbox'. ::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Snaps out of the reverie and begins threat assessment on the signal that was picked up.::
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
::He moves his console in front of him and begins to monitor the sensors as well so he can see what is going on::
EO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Standing inside the sonic shower, with tools and pieces scattered on the floor. At least he's upgraded to a light classical from the other music that had been emanating from the shower::
SO_Ens_Alezka says:
::Using the Stellar Cartography sensors, and using the sensor pod to triangulate scans, his display beeps several time as it detects the signal mentioned by Lieutenant Eiluj:: *CSO*: Alezka to Eiluj. Sir, I'm detecting a comm. signal from the Halospawn system...bringing up star chart data now...
CSO_Ltjg_Eiluj says:
*SO* Route it to Science 2 Mister Alezka.
CSO_Ltjg_Eiluj says:
:: walks to science 2 ::
SO_Ens_Alezka says:
::Glances at his display and taps several controls. The holographic map zooms in suddenly to display a dim star and three small spheres - planets:: *CSO*: The signals appears to be originating from the 2nd planet in the Halospawn system...sir...routing information now. ::Transfers the data to the bridge::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::puts the signal the CSO patched to her console on audio for all to hear::
Host Jackie says:
Actions: The signal is almost all static...all that can be hear is a faint cry for help, then what sounds like a scream, then cuts out and repeats it self
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Pulls up a star chart of the Halospawn system.::
CSO_Ltjg_Eiluj says:
:: looks at the incoming data :: XO:  It appears to be coming from the 2nd planet in the Halospawn system.
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::cringes at the content of the signal and steels himself::  FCO: Mr. Jara that sounds like a distress call to me...alter course to intercept, take your heading from Science.
SO_Ens_Alezka says:
::Hears the signal over the comm line to the bridge and cringes:: ~~~EO: Dan...oh Dan...please be there...:: ::He doesn't like the sound of the screams, and brings up all data on the Halospawn system::
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
::He listens to the COM and his eyes widen:: Self: Great. Were pirates attacking?
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Brings up data on the 2nd planet of the system.::
FCO_LtJg_Jara says:
XO: Of course Sir. I'll  try to get us there faster too  ::brings the ship to warp 9::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::shudders as she hears what seems to be a scream of some sort that is cut short::
CSO_Ltjg_Eiluj says:
XO:  Class M planet, Keospawn.  Thick  vegetation.  Sparse native population.
Host Jackie says:
Action: The CNS suddenly feels a cold shiver go down his back::
SO_Ens_Alezka says:
*CSO*: Second planet of the Halospawn system - Class M. Typical configuration, primarily jungle vegetation. Starfleet has reported a series of sentient tribes on the surface, nothing of interest.
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
::He begins to shiver::
CSO_Ltjg_Eiluj says:
*SO* Acknowledged Ensign.  Good work.
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
CSO/CTO: Anything that would pose a threat to us?  Aside from the pirates of course.
SO_Ens_Alezka says:
::Brings up as much data as he can from the Federation astronomical surveys in the area. Perhaps the reports mention something about space faring life forms in the region, or perhaps unusual spatial phenomenon::
EO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Finally gets the shower working correctly, but then the replicator in the living area screeches, starts spewing smoke, and pours a large cup of coffee...minus the cup, so the liquid runs onto the floor::
CSO_Ltjg_Eiluj says:
XO:  I don't believe so Sir
FCO_LtJg_Jara says:
::feels the adrenaline rush through his body::
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
CNS: Chris...the next time you ask me if things are going normally, I'm going to throw something at you, ok?  ::shakes his head::
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
Self: Well, it was going smoothly.
Host Jackie says:
Action: As the signal runs through the computer, it activates a gas to be released in to environmental system, slowly letting out a type of knock out gas
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
::His shiver stops and he looks at the XO:: XO: Of course, sir. And Commander I just had a strange shiver go down my back.. ::pauses::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
XO: Not at the present from the population report.
Host Jackie says:
Action: Slowly the crew begin to feel tired, as the gas works quickly
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Hears the ventilation system start hissing and tries to shut it down.::
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::begins to feel light headed::  CNS: Any idea what...  ::slumps forward::
FCO_LtJg_Jara says:
::frowns and coughs::
SO_Ens_Alezka says:
::He notices and odd hissing sound and stands up slowly...looking around. As he does, he notices an odd gas pouring out of an environmental shaft, and straight into the air supply of the Stellar Cartography. Alezka curses loudly and rushes his staff out of the room, sealing it. However he finds a similar experience in the outside corridor::
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
::He begins to feel tired and then is knocked out::
CSO_Ltjg_Eiluj says:
:: yawns and her eyes begin to close ::
EO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Rolls his eyes at his rotten luck, and tries to politely ignore the chattering of the Ensign while he moves to the replicator. Suddenly, he feels dizzy, and sees the Ensign collapse::
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
:: The PADDs in front of him begin to blur together. ::
Host Jackie says:
Action: the crew begin to fall one by one as the pass out
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Gets dizzy while he works the controls and slumps to a sitting position in his chair.::
FCO_LtJg_Jara says:
::slumps over console::
SO_Ens_Alezka says:
::As his team moves off, he makes his way to a turbolift, hoping to get to the bridge before the foreign gas takes effect. As he enters a turbolift, the gas compound begins to react with his system, and Ensign Alezka drifts off to sleep in a turbolift, headed towards the bridge::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::begins to feel sleepy, she fights the urge to go to sleep but loses the battle and slumps over her console, she is sound asleep::
CSO_Ltjg_Eiluj says:
:: slumps over her console ::
EO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Notices the floor seems to be accelerating towards his face, then he goes unconscious in a heap::
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
:: He tries to stand but instead falls to the floor beside his chair. ::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Keeps trying the ventilation override.::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Finally as his battle never gets any results he slumps over his console.::
FCO_LtJg_Jara says:
::snores and drools on console::
Host Jackie says:
Action: With the crew out cold, the Ganymede drift into the Halospawn system. All attempts to stop the gas has failed
