CO_Captain_Matisse says:
::At her seat on the bridge::
Host ADM_Cisab says:
Action: As the ship changes course OPS drink spills on her console and shorts out.
XO_Cmdr_Corjet says:
::Paces a bit and then sits down and looks over some read-outs on his console.::
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
::Monitors the bridge, and back to her padd::
Host ADM_Cisab says:
Action: A puff of smoke drifts up from the console and it goes dark.
CEO_Lt_Running_Horse says:
::in engineering making adjustments to the intermix ratios to coax the performance but decides against it and changes to her secondary task::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::mutters a few choice curse words::
Host ADM_Cisab says:
<FCO>: CO: Were approaching Alderbaran system Captain.
XO_Cmdr_Corjet says:
::He hears a noise, but taps on his combadge.:: *CEO*: How are things going down there?
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
::Takes a sniff:: Self: eww FCO: Bring us to a stop when we reach our final destination.
Host ADM_Cisab says:
<FCO>: CO: Dropping to impulse , on course for standard orbit
TO_Tagger says:
::Does standard tactical orbital scan.::
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
XO: Please take over the testing from here.
XO_Cmdr_Corjet says:
::Starts to smell the unmistakable smell of burnt components and looks up.:: OPS: Your station is... ::He shakes his head with a slight smile.:: Dead... Try one of the rear stations until we can have Engineering fix it. ::Shrugs.::
Host ADM_Cisab says:
::Enters the bridge and approaches the Captain:: CO: Evening, Has Alderbaran contacted us yet?
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::nods and she moves to where indicated::
XO_Cmdr_Corjet says:
::Turns to the Captain.:: CO: Aye sir. ::Points towards the rear Science I station.:: I'll take Science One. ::Gets up and makes his way towards it.::
CEO_Lt_Running_Horse says:
*XO*: Sir things are ok here but I am showing a console on the bridge that is malfunctioning.
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
::Shakes her head no:: Adm: not yet sir, we are at our destination point, just waiting.
XO_Cmdr_Corjet says:
::He stops at Science I.:: *CEO*: Aye... Ops station has... ::Shrugs.:: Burned out.. Can you have it fixed pretty soon? ::He activates Science I.::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::she reconfigures Engineering Console 2 to perform as an OPS console::
Host ADM_Cisab says:
CO: You may have to let them know were here.
Host ADM_Cisab says:
XO: Is the Pod sensor array ready for the test?
XO_Cmdr_Corjet says:
::He leans over towards OPS.:: OPS: Good choice. ::He starts bringing up the controls and read-outs for their new POD.::
TO_Tagger says:
::Looks up toward the "commotion" at the OPS console seeing the smoking remnants of the console and the XO and OPS officers trying to reconfigure the SCI console.::
CEO_Lt_Running_Horse says:
*XO*: Again did she spill something on it again???
XO_Cmdr_Corjet says:
::He runs a level 3 diagnostic on the POD.:: CO: Performing a level 3 diagnostic on it's systems sir.
TO_Tagger says:
::Wonders how senior officers can be allowed to have open containers on duty and not be reprimanded.::
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
ADM: Yes yes...OPS: try contacting the alderbaran's please.
XO_Cmdr_Corjet says:
*CEO*: Ahhh... ::He looks to her and smiles.:: I'm not sure Chief.
TO_Tagger says:
OPS: Commander, I can open that channel for you while you reconfigure.
CEO_Lt_Running_Horse says:
*XO*: I will come in a few minutes.  I got to re-run the diagnostic of the power relays for the new pod.
Host ADM_Cisab says:
XO: You wouldn't mind if an old man took advantage of that chair your useing would you?
XO_Cmdr_Corjet says:
*CEO*: Aye Chief. ::Turns towards the Admiral.::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
TO:  If you want to but I am almost done.
XO_Cmdr_Corjet says:
::Smiles and motions his arm towards his seat.:: Admiral: Aye sir.  I'm sure it's more comfortable than the Captains. ::Looks to her with a grin.::
CEO_Lt_Running_Horse says:
::finishing the diagnostics and things are a-ok::
Host ADM_Cisab says:
::Takes a seat next to the Captain::
CEO_Lt_Running_Horse says:
*XO*: The diagnostic is back and we are a go for the new pod.
XO_Cmdr_Corjet says:
::Turns his attention back on the diagnostic readouts of the POD.:: Self: Power systems... Good. Sensors... Good. ::He taps on the console.:: *CEO*: I confirm Chief. ::He turns to his Captain.::
TO_Tagger says:
::Opens the channel to Aldebaran.:: CO: Captain Channel open.
CEO_Lt_Running_Horse says:
*XO*: And I am on my way to the bridge.
XO_Cmdr_Corjet says:
CO: All go on the POD Captain. ::He turns back to his console.::
TO_Tagger says:
::Redirects the communications back to the alt OPS console at SCI when it is completed.::
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
ADM: Everything ok sir?
Host ADM_Cisab says:
Action: Ganymede receives data from Alderbaran for coordinates in the system, and to prepare to scan a planet.
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
XO: Understood.
CEO_Lt_Running_Horse says:
::heads for her TL and orders it to the bridge express::
XO_Cmdr_Corjet says:
::He pauses a moment to say a quick prayer to The Prophets.:: CO: Initiating start-up sequence. ::He taps on his console and starts the start-up sequence on the POD.::
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
XO: Keep up updated please.
CEO_Lt_Running_Horse says:
::steps onto the bridge:: XO: Sir, peweeeeeeuuuuu what stinks?
TO_Tagger says:
CO: Captain instructions to scan a planet are being received from below.
XO_Cmdr_Corjet says:
::He watches the many read-outs from his console.:: CO: Aye sir... So far everything looks good. ::He turns to the CEO, then points to the OPS console.:: That one did it. ::He chuckles a bit and goes back to his duties.::
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
XO: Your heard the TO, begin scans.
CEO_Lt_Running_Horse says:
::walks over to the OPS console and sees what is smelling so bad::  Self:  Figures.
XO_Cmdr_Corjet says:
::Smiles as everything with the POD is looking good.  Then starts scans after the power-up self diagnostics are complete.:: CO: Aye sir.  Power-up diagnostics complete. ::He taps on the controls.:: Initiating scans of the planet sir. ::He watches the sensors closely.::
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
ADM: As you heard, the testing has began
TO_Tagger says:
::Scans the surrounding area for possible threats and keeps an eye on the planet scans in progress for anything.::
XO_Cmdr_Corjet says:
::He quickly taps on the console, fine-tuning the sensors dynamic tuning capacitors.:: Self: There...
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::while monitoring her temporary post, she receives a message with the coordinates to Alderbaran II::    CO:  Message just received with the coordinates to Alderbaran II.  I am sending to the coordinates now to Flight Control.
Host ADM_Cisab says:
Action: The sensor console beeps to life.
TO_Tagger says:
::Whips head in direction of the new sensor console connected to the new PODD thinking that the sounds are quite irritating.::
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
OPS: Roger that.  Let hope this will not take to long
CEO_Lt_Running_Horse says:
::bangs head on the underside of the console::  Out loud:: Yeoooooowwwwww that smarts.  ::rubs her head and goes back to work::
XO_Cmdr_Corjet says:
::He leans closer to the console.:: CO: Performing fine tuning adjustments to the sensors scanning resolution transducers sir.  ::He smiles as he hears the beep.:: We're online now. ::He grins.:: Looking very good.  ::He says more to himself.:: Very good sir... ::He taps a bit more on the console.:: Sir?  Reading a type of beacon...
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
XO: What type, and where?
XO_Cmdr_Corjet says:
::He directs the scanners towards the beacon or marker from Alderbaron II.:: CO: The signal is coming from Aldebaron II sir... Redirecting sensors to identify the signal. ::He keeps his eyes focused on the display.::
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
XO: This a test beacon of some sort?
XO_Cmdr_Corjet says:
::He takes in a breath of air and turns to the Captain and Admiral.:: CO/Admiral: Sirs? It's a message that reads: "Alpha Tauri III is under quarantine."  And repeats... It's approximately 2 light years from our current position... If the sensors are right sir. ::He turns back to his console.::
CEO_Lt_Running_Horse says:
OPS:  Would you please refrain from drinking over this console please.  I can't keep fixing this thing over and over you now.
XO_Cmdr_Corjet says:
CO/Admiral: Running level 3 diagnostic again sir... Just to make sure. ::He activates the level 3 diagnostic.::
TO_Tagger says:
::Hears quarantine and thinks that Doctor Zek is going to have his hands full soon enough and be cursing that Dr. Aria isn't here.::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
CEO:  I never had a problem with this until you came aboard.  Are you using inferior materials or something.
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
ADM: I suggest we keep our distance sir.
XO_Cmdr_Corjet says:
::He turns towards OPS and the CEO.:: OPS/CEO: We have a mission to perform... ::He gives them both a stern look and quickly turns back to his duties.::
CEO_Lt_Running_Horse says:
OPS: With all do respect sir! I do not use inferior parts so please be more careful next time.
Host ADM_Cisab says:
CO: They want a reading from our sensors on that planet, would hurt to get a little closer
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
CEO: That’s enough! can you do your arguing someplace else
CEO_Lt_Running_Horse says:
XO: Sir the console is fixed again.
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
CEO: Accidents happen, even on the bridge, this will be the end of this
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
XO:  Yes Commander.  ::as restores ENG 2 console back to its original configuration, then she moves back to her main post to restores her protocols::
CEO_Lt_Running_Horse says:
CO: Understood sir.  Permission to return to my engine room???
XO_Cmdr_Corjet says:
::Leans closer to his console, trying to block out what's going on around him.:: CEO: Good job Chief. ::He looks at the console closer.::
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
CEO: granted
CEO_Lt_Running_Horse says:
XO: ::smiles:: Thanks
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
OPS: everything ok?
CEO_Lt_Running_Horse says:
::turns on her heel and goes back into the TL and her domain::
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
ADM: Do I have a say sir?
Host ADM_Cisab says:
CO: We have anything in the computer on Alpha Tauri 3?
TO_Tagger says:
CO: Excuse me Captain.  Should we not first find out the reason of quarantine before going closer?
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
CO:  Yes Captain.  That is the first time that has happened to me in a long time, quite possibly about 3 years ago.
Host ADM_Cisab says:
CO: As long as we don't go past the marker beacon we should be fine
XO_Cmdr_Corjet says:
::He starts increasing the sensors scanning resolution.:: CO: Increasing the sensors capabilities to their maximum...
Host ADM_Cisab says:
Action: Sensors pick up another faint emission from that area of space.
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
ALL: Take us to the marker, no closer...
Host ADM_Cisab says:
<FCO>CO: Aye Captain, course 132.6 half impulse.
CEO_Lt_Running_Horse says:
::looks in on her Little One and sees that he is fine::
XO_Cmdr_Corjet says:
::He sighs a bit loudly.:: CO: I'm reading a faint Electro-Magnetic emission coming from near the marker beacons sir. ::He re-focuses the scanners towards the origins of the emissions.::
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
XO: Could that be of any danger to us?
Host ADM_Cisab says:
<FCO>: Marker beacon in two minutes
Host ADM_Cisab says:
Action: The pup makes a dash for the open door and trots off down the corridor.
XO_Cmdr_Corjet says:
::He turns to his Captain for a moment.:: CO: From what I can make out at the moment... Only if we pass the beacons.  I'll see what else I can read from that signal. ::He quickly turns back to Science Station I.:: Just a faint signal... No apparent threat sir.
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
FCO: Just us a bit back from the marker.
Host ADM_Cisab says:
<FCO>CO: Aye, slowing to stop 100,00KM
TO_Tagger says:
::Prepared to raise shields if needed.::
TO_Tagger says:
::Wonders why they were brought here and not told about a quarantine planet.::
Host ADM_Cisab says:
XO: Can you pinpoint the location of that faint signal
XO_Cmdr_Corjet says:
::He starts to do what he can by tuning the sensors.:: Admiral: Aye sir... Trying to.. ::He taps away at the console.:: It's pretty faint sir. Give me a few moments... ::He looks up to another part of his station, looking at the read-outs.::
CEO_Lt_Running_Horse says:
Computer:  Locate Little one and beam him back here to my office.
CEO_Lt_Running_Horse says:
::goes to the replicator and replicates a small cage for her pup::
Host ADM_Cisab says:
<Computer>: Unable to maintain lock, insufficient parameters
Host ADM_Cisab says:
Action: Alarms sound from most of the consoles as main power goes down
XO_Cmdr_Corjet says:
::Starts tapping away at the console, trying different scanning configurations in an attempt to pin-point the location of the signal.:: Self: Almost... ::Sighs.:: Not that way... ::He furiously taps away at the console again.:: Ahh!  There... Admiral? I pin-pointed the signal.. But it's so faint that I can't really determine what it is...
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
Self: Here we go again ::laughs to herself::
TO_Tagger says:
Aloud: What the?
TO_Tagger says:
::Jabbing at the console trying to figure out what is going on, and attempts to switch to backups.::
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
XO: Report!
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
CO:  It wasn't me!!
XO_Cmdr_Corjet says:
::He looks up from his console as it shuts down from loss of power.:: CO: Looks like main power is out...  Many sensors are off-line... ::He's happy that he has a few left and checks the ships critical systems.:: Checking on the rest of the ship sir.
Host ADM_Cisab says:
<FCO> CO: Helm control doesn't answer were drifting
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
::Is surprised by OPS:: OPS: Not pointing fingers yet. ::Gives her a quick smile::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::smiles::
XO_Cmdr_Corjet says:
*CEO*: We need main power back online Chief...
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
ADM: You wanted a look sir, do you really want my to start pointing fingers…sir.?
XO_Cmdr_Corjet says:
::He takes a moment to report to his Captain and the Admiral.:: CO/Admiral: As I was saying... I pin-pointed the origin of the signal... I could try amplifying the signal to see what it is, but I doubt that will work..  That is... ::He spreads his arms.:: If we get main power back online in time.
CEO_Lt_Running_Horse says:
*XO*: I am trying sir but I think it is some sort of interface problem I am working on it sir.
Host ADM_Cisab says:
<FCO>CO: Were caught in the gravitational field, it's pulling us toward the planet.
XO_Cmdr_Corjet says:
*CEO*: Please expedite the repairs Chief... We're a drift and heading towards the beacons... And that'll mean trouble for everyone Chief... ::He considers heading down to ME but forces himself to say.::
TO_Tagger says:
CO: Captain, We can't see out there.  I've no idea what were facing.  We're like sitting' ducks right now.
Host ADM_Cisab says:
<FCO>: CO: I have navigation sensors but that’s about it
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
FCO/TO: Understood
Host ADM_Cisab says:
<FCO>:CO: At this rate we have about 12 hours before our orbit becomes unstable.
XO_Cmdr_Corjet says:
::He turns to the FCO.:: FCO: What about our proximity to the outer beacons?
TO_Tagger says:
FCO:  So what do you need to get a stable orbit or to break out of this one and move to open space?
Host ADM_Cisab says:
XO: About an hour is my best guess.
Host ADM_Cisab says:
TO: Thrusters would help
XO_Cmdr_Corjet says:
::He formulates a backup plan.:: CO/Admiral: We could use one or more shuttles as tugboats to pull the ship away sir.  I volunteer my abilities... Sirs.
Host ADM_Cisab says:
Action: A sudden flash appears throughout the ship and disorients everyone for only a moment.
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
XO: We have no idea if the shuttle will work, and may run into the same problems
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::gets disoriented for a moment::
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
::Shakes her head:: Self: was that just me...
TO_Tagger says:
::Nods to the FCO.:: FCO: I'll see what I can do to help get you those.
XO_Cmdr_Corjet says:
::He staggers a moment as the flash runs through the ship.  He instinctively puts his hand out to the console to stabilize himself.:: CO: Aye sir... But it may work.
Host ADM_Cisab says:
::Wakes up as if he were sleeping:: CO: What was that?
