Host Kris says:
The U.S.S. Ganymede is investigating a phenomena at the Kolnar asteroid recently discovered in several of the larger asteroids there.  Changeling bodies have been found melded into some of the asteroids there.

Host Kris says:
It appears to be a time-travel incident gone awry.

Host Kris says:
This mission is of a delicate nature and cannot be discussed with anyone outside the crew with the exception of Commander K.C. Spicer who is temporarily assigned to the U.S.S. Ganymede for this mission.

Host Kris says:
<<FYI>> We pick up with the Captain, Lt. Cmdr. Wolfe and Doctor Wells departing on the shuttle Icarus to investigate the asteroids and the bodies more closely.  

Host Kris says:
Lt. Sky has been investigating a possible connection between this and the Iconian culture.  No evidence connecting the two has been turned up.

Host Kris says:

@Wolfe: We're coming up on the asteroid. Take it slow, and easy, Commander.

CTACWolfe says:
@  ::feels the shuttle shudder from the storm raging outside::

XO-Louis says:
SCI: Very well, what is the status of our transporter locks?

Eng_Tal says:
XO: recommend Tachyon scan just in case of JEM'Hadar ship in the area.

CTACWolfe says:
@  CO:  Slowing...manuvering thrusters online.  Find a place where we can set down?

SCI_Paldn says:
XO: negative, too much ionized particle matter

CO_Olbrun says:
@::tries to use sonar to find a spot:: Wolfe: I've got something, but we'll have to set down exactly on it, otherwise I wouldn't suggest it.

Eng_Tal says:
SCI : I could try to boost the effiency of the sensors.

CTACWolfe says:
@  ::smiles, savoring the challenge as he checks the reading::  CO:  Its the best place......coming about...

XO-Louis says:
Tal: Tachyon scan may prove useless in this storm. I don't want to give away our position either.

Eng_Tal says:
XO: Aye sir.

CTACWolfe says:
@  ::slows the shuttle to a relative crawl..letting the small manuvering thrusters do the rest::

SCI_Paldn says:
XO: the eye of the storm will be here in 15 min ...

XO-Louis says:
Tal: If you can get me anything that will give us a tactical advantage and keep tabs on the shuttle, that would be helpful.

Eng_Tal says:
XO : Do you concur sir.

CTACWolfe says:
@  ::sets thrusters to station keeping::  CO:  Touchdown is good...

CO_Olbrun says:

CTACWolfe says:
@  ::stands quickly::  All:  How long has it been since you've used these pressure suits?

Host KC_Spicer says:

CTACWolfe says:
@  ::heads back to the small weapons locker, opening it::

XO-Louis says:
Ensign Rhian: Shields status?

CO_Olbrun says:
@::she starts to pull on her suit:: Wolfe: It's been almost a year- since I was on the Griffon.

XO-Louis says:

CTACWolfe says:
@  ::with a practiced hand, gets his suit on and picks up a phaser rifle offering it to the CO::

XO-Louis says:

XO-Louis says:
Spicer: Sciences it is then.

CTACWolfe says:
@  CO:  Here you go Captain...

CMO_Wells says:
@:: locks seals in place::

Host KC_Spicer says:

XO-Louis says:
Spicer: We are trying to gain some tactical data on the AT.

CTACWolfe says:
@  ::still not having placed his helmet on, motions for the CMO to approach him::

Host KC_Spicer says:
::pulling up the data on the asteroid field::

CMO_Wells says:
@: aproaches Wolfe:::

CO_Olbrun says:
@:;she takes the rifle, and also grabs her scanning equipment::

Host KC_Spicer says:
::nodding at Louis::  Right, sir.

SCI_Paldn says:
::wondering if the ionic activity ionized the Dominion experiment::

Host KC_Spicer says:
Paladine:  A likely theory.

Eng_Tal says:
::running addtional diagnostics on power systems ::

CTACWolfe says:
@  ::quickly does a double check of Wells' systems and then gives her a thumbs up::

XO-Louis says:
Rhian: Keep our shields in tact, that is our only barrier for error right now, understood.

CTACWolfe says:
@  ::hands the CMO a phaser rifle as he picks up his helmet::

OPS_Rhian says:
XO: Aye sir

SCI_Paldn says:
Spicer: if that is the case, it is likely there are escort ships nearby

CMO_Wells says:
@::nods to Wolfe and takes rifel from Wolfe::

CO_Olbrun says:
@::she stands at the door, ready to head out and get back::

XO-Louis says:
Ensign Yu: Keep us away from as much turbulance as possible.

CTACWolfe says:
@  :;puts the helmet on and activates his suit, getting a green light on all seals::  *AT*  Radio Check.....

CMO_Wells says:
@:: loads up her bio scanning equipmet and heads for the door::

Host KC_Spicer says:
Paladine:  I'd say so if this were a recent accident.  I'd like to see some evidence on when this incident took place.

XO-Louis says:
<Yu> XO: Sir?,... I will try.

CTACWolfe says:
@  ::while waiting for a response, picks up his phaser rifle::

CO_Olbrun says:
@Wolfe: Clear as a bell.

SCI_Paldn says:
Spicer: agreed

XO-Louis says:
:: Begins to pace nervously ::

CMO_Wells says:
@wolfe: clear as a cryastal bell

Host KC_Spicer says:
Paladine:  I'm hoping they can date the whole affair.  I'd really like to know how they managed time travel without a ship.

Eng_Tal says:
XO : Do we know if there were any verteron particle traces in the area?

CTACWolfe says:
@  ::steps up to the atmospheric controls::  *AT*  Alright....I am dumping the shuttles Atmosphere.....in 3.....2....:;punches a few buttons::......1

CTACWolfe  (Console2.wav)

OPS_Rhian says:
SCI:  Are we close enough to extend our shields around the AT?  We might be able to keep a transporter lock on them.

CO_Olbrun says:
@::she nods, and closes her eyes as the atmosphere is vented::

SCI_Paldn says:
Spicer: maybe its dimensional like the Ioconian window gates

XO-Louis says:
:: Snaps around at the Ensign's question :: Verteron particals?  That is an interesting theory... see what you can find..

CTACWolfe says:
@  ::feels the atmosphere rush out.....and the gravity as well::  *AT*  opening the shuttledoor...

Eng_Tal says:
XO: That would suggest a worm hole experiment.

CTACWolfe  (Console.wav)

CMO_Wells says:
@:: closes eyes during count down then opens them when finished::

CTACWolfe says:
@  ::keys the door open::

XO-Louis says:
Ensign Rhian: I do not want to get that close to this "experiment".

CO_Olbrun says:
@::she makes certain that she's prepared for this, and opens her eyes as the door is opened::

Host KC_Spicer says:
Tal:  That may be true.  Something certainly failed for them.

CMO_Wells says:
@:: feels her stomach lurch, but get's contol when the gravity takes out.::

OPS_Rhian says:
XO: Understood

Host KC_Spicer says:
ACTION: THE ION STORMS INCREASE INTENSITY AND THEN GRADUALLY DROP OFF SURROUNDING THE GANYMEDE.

CTACWolfe says:
@  ::eyes grow a little wide at the storm that rages above them.....steps out onto the Asteroid...::  *AT*  You guys alright?

CTACWolfe says:
@  ::adjusts grip on the phaser rifle::

Host KC_Spicer says:
::scanning::

CTACWolfe says:
@  ::steps out of the way for the others to egress::

OPS_Rhian says:
::adjusting shields to account for storm intensity::

XO-Louis says:
:: Steps over the sciences 2 and speaks quietly to spicer :: I concerned that the Dominion is up to something very dangerous. Is there anything you can share with me?

SCI_Paldn says:
XO: we are passing through the Eye, if they are coming out it has to be within 10 min

CO_Olbrun says:
@*Wolfe* Yes, I'm fine. ::makes her way to the remains, and grimaces at what she sees::

Eng_Tal says:
::monitoring power system more closely::

Host KC_Spicer says:
Paladine:  The ionic storm activity has dropped off...but I don't think it's over....

CMO_Wells says:
*wolfe*:  never better.... :: turns on her magnetic boots and hopes there is enough metals so she can get a hold on the asteriod::

SCI_Paldn says:
Spicer: its the eye

Host KC_Spicer says:
XO: Starfleet is equally concerned, sir.  

XO-Louis says:
Pal: Acknowledged.

CTACWolfe says:
@  *CO*  Spooky......*AT*  Keep the channel open....

Eng_Tal says:
XO: We should take sensor sweeps.

CO_Olbrun says:
@::she begins taking scans, albeit limited ones due to the storms::

CMO_Wells says:
@:: makes way to remains, and begins bio scanns on them::

Host KC_Spicer says:
Paladine:  Then we'd better not let up on the shields...the rest of that storm is going to pass over us then...

SCI_Paldn says:
Spicer: yes, and then we will lose transporter locks

XO-Louis says:
Tal: Coordinat probe launches to extend our sensor range and make sure OPS has all the power necessary.

Host KC_Spicer says:
XO:  Sir, it looks like the changelings were attempting to go back in time.  The biggest questions are where?  And Why?

CTACWolfe says:
@  ::keeps an eyeout...for what..he's not sure...but does so::

Host KC_Spicer says:
XO:  And especially.....why did they fail?

Eng_Tal says:
::enabling probes for launch::

SCI_Paldn says:
XO: I have transporter locks

CTACWolfe says:
@  ::crouches down and runs his gloved hand across the smooth stone::  ::mutters to himself::  Curiouser...

XO-Louis says:
Spicer: I can see your point. However the 'why' would address alot of my concerns.

CO_Olbrun says:
@::she starts examining the apparel of the remains, and is a bit surprised at what she sees::

CTACWolfe says:
@  *AT*  The ground....its too smooth....

CO_Olbrun says:
@::somehow dried up Founders were not what she was expecting them to be::

XO-Louis says:
Paladine: Good work. Keep those locks and give me a status of the AT.

Eng_Tal says:
XO/OPS: Probes ready for launch.

Host KC_Spicer says:
XO:  Exactly, sir.

SCI_Paldn says:
XO: The locks will not hold once the storm passes again

CTACWolfe says:
@  ::stands:: *AT*  Whenever they came here.....they took some of the stone with them....

OPS_Rhian says:
ENG: Aye

CMO_Wells says:
@*AT*:  It's like the are melted into the rock.   as if the rock was molten and they were dumped in.  Equivalant to being a chocolate chips in cookie dough.

OPS_Rhian says:
XO:  Shall I launch the probes

CO_Olbrun says:
@*Wolfe/Wells* Are you both familiar with the culture of Earth?

XO-Louis says:
Commander Spicer: What is the line out of Star Fleet on this one? Do they have any theory's?

SCI_Paldn says:
::scanning forms and cataloging Data::

XO-Louis says:
Rhian: Make it so.

CTACWolfe says:
@  *AT*  Aye Captain....::looks at the bodies::  Mid Twentieth Century...

Host KC_Spicer says:
XO:  Several.  All of them adding up to one thing...time travel back to Earth at a time when they could have somehow affected current events. 

OPS_Rhian says:
XO:  Aye ::launching probes:: Probes away.

CO_Olbrun says:
@*Wolfe* Can you be more specific on the time period?

Eng_Tal says:
::implement addtional algorithms to insure consistant power to OPS station. ::

CMO_Wells says:
*AT*: I would concure with Wolfe.  I would narrow it doen to may 1960's maybe 70's from the style of clothing and the colors.

SCI_Paldn says:
XO: The mid 20th Century was marked by a proliferation of weapons of mass destruction

XO-Louis says:
:: Thinks that there were only two events which would be classified as such... The Genetic wars and the first landing on the Moon ::

CMO_Wells says:
@::  wonderrs how people could stand those brite colors, grimises::

CTACWolfe says:
@  *AT*  There, see that necklace....1960's - 1970's...preWWIII  ::finds an amulet of sorts on one of the Founders neck...looks like a pigeon stepped on a rock....::

XO-Louis says:
:: To no one in particular :: ETA to loss of TR locks?

CO_Olbrun says:
@::does a little mental math and figures out who the host was at the time::

OPS_Rhian says:
XO:  Disrupting the evolution of human space exploration at that critical time could conceveably give the Founders a considerable advantage in invading the Alpha Quadrant

Eng_Tal says:
SCI: How long will the eye of the storm last?

SCI_Paldn says:
XO: 10 minutes to storm boundary

Host KC_Spicer says:
XO:  Agreed.

CO_Olbrun says:
@::gathers what samples she can, and starts looking for evidence of the purpose of the travel::

CTACWolfe says:
@  *AT*  If memory serves, the mid-twentieth Century was a bi-polar political atmosphere fraught with Weapons of Mass Destruction....and.........::voice trails off::

SCI_Paldn says:
Eng: 10 min

CO_Olbrun says:
@*AT* Space travel was in it's infancy.

CTACWolfe says:
@  ::studies one of the figures, as his jaw begins to fall open::

Eng_Tal says:
SCI : Aye.

CMO_Wells says:
@AT*: what could the founders be doing in 1960-70's earth?

CTACWolfe says:
@  *AT*  Infancy....more like Pre-natal....

XO-Louis says:
:: Gives Rhian a dirty look for stating the obvious... something I didn't want to think about ::

SCI_Paldn says:
XO: do you wish to beam a body aboard?

CTACWolfe says:
@  *AT*  And if they tried to stop the space programs......then they............the game's afoot...::

OPS_Rhian says:
::wonders about XO's perplexed look::

CO_Olbrun says:
@*AT* Gather what evidence you can, and then let's get back to the Ganymede.

CTACWolfe says:
@  *AT*  Would stop the Human space programs...stop the exploration.....stop the Federation.....::musing to himself::

CMO_Wells says:
@AT*:  in other words we better work fast....

CO_Olbrun says:
@::as an afterthought::*AT* Can you detect anything inside this asteroid?

Host KC_Spicer says:
::wondering what the Chief of Science does for fun::

OPS_Rhian says:
XO:  A large anount of Ti is being detected at the core of the largest asteroid

CTACWolfe says:
@  ::does a sweep of the landscape with his phaser scope...scanning for anything::

OPS_Rhian says:
SCI:  Are you getting any abnormal energy sigs from that asteroid?

Eng_Tal says:
XO : possibly a ship?

CMO_Wells says:
@:: starts running ans many possiable scanns she can do in hopes of finding something usueful::

Host KC_Spicer says:
::eyebrows raise::  

XO-Louis says:
Paladine: No... keep tabs on the AT and make sure they get back safely.

SCI_Paldn says:
XO: sensors indicate a titanium alloy inside an asteroid

Host KC_Spicer says:
XO:  Sir, if we could crack that large asteroid open...or beam it into a cargo hold...?

SCI_Paldn says:
XO: 5 min to storm boundary

OPS_Rhian says:
Spicer:  CDR, the storm would make it difficult to lock on anything

CTACWolfe says:
@  ::see's the storm closing::  *AT*  We've got to go...now...

XO-Louis says:
Commander: I'm not willing to risk loosing power and being unable to beam that AT back.

Eng_Tal says:
KC_Spicer: retuning the phaser might allow us to cut through the rock.

SCI_Paldn says:
XO: if they are coming out it has to be now

CO_Olbrun says:
@*AT* Acknowledged. ::she's found evidence of a Barolian-type transfer, and she's keeping that to herself::

Host KC_Spicer says:
Tal:  But I don't want to lose anything inside of it.  And we don't know if what's in the core should be exposed to space or not.

CMO_Wells says:
@*AT*: All my scanns can get is that this thing is titanium mostly but the core comes up empty as if there is soemthing blocking the scann.

CTACWolfe says:
@  ::motions for the CMO and CO to start heading back, waiting to bring up the rear::

CO_Olbrun says:
@::she starts making her way back to the shuttle::

CMO_Wells says:
@:: heads back at Wolfe's urging::

SCI_Paldn says:
::this is ugly that storm is increasing in magnitude::

Eng_Tal says:
KN_Spicer: Let us not expose the core, just cut through some of the interfernce the rock could cause.

XO-Louis says:
OPS: ETA to loss of locks?

CTACWolfe says:
@  *CO*  If they did go back...and were still here...how successful were they?  What did they want?  and what did the do?

CTACWolfe says:
@  ::takes up the rear::

XO-Louis says:
:: moves to sit in the Captains chair and does not make it... just ends up pacing again ::

Host KC_Spicer says:
Tal:  I think it's the titanium itself that's preventing us from getting a clear scan any deeper.  ::shrugging::

OPS_Rhian says:
XO: Standby

CO_Olbrun says:
@*Wolfe* I'm not sure.

CMO_Wells says:
@ :: makes what to shuttle::

Eng_Tal says:
KC_Spicer: Aye.

OPS_Rhian says:
XO:  Approximately eight minutes

XO-Louis says:
OPS: What is the status of the AT, are they still on the surface?

CTACWolfe says:
@  ::starts getting buffetted by the first of the storm winds::

SCI_Paldn says:
Library computer: record all sensor logs and chart

CO_Olbrun says:
@:;she notices Wells in front of her, and glances back to check on Wolfe::

CTACWolfe says:
@  ::keeps up the pace....huffing::

OPS_Rhian says:
AT:  Report on current status

CMO_Wells says:

OPS_Rhian says:
XO:  Commujications with the AT is garbled

XO-Louis says:
Paladine: I'm sure we could under normal circumstances... with this storm, I'm not sure. What do you think about the strain on the ship?

OPS_Rhian says:
AT:  Report current status

CO_Olbrun says:
@::she notes that Wells is back to the shuttle, but waits to make certain the whole team makes it back::

SCI_Paldn says:
XO: we can pull it until the storm arrives

OPS_Rhian says:
::increasing boost to comms::

CTACWolfe says:
@  ::taps the side of his helmet as he see's the CO stop...motions for her to go on::

CO_Olbrun says:
@::she nods, then continues and gets to the shuttle::

XO-Louis says:
Rhian: Get a message to them and prod them to get outta there.

CMO_Wells says:
@:: waitis for the rest just inside the air lock out of the ionic wind::

OPS_Rhian says:
XO:  Aye sir

CTACWolfe says:
@  ::approaches the shuttle as the storm begins to hit the asteroid....pulls himself inside::

CTACWolfe says:

CMO_Wells says:
@:: clacks seals and sighs, thinks:  hey at least kept my luch down this time.::

XO-Louis says:
:: Worry is clearly taking is toll ::

Eng_Tal says:
OPS: We can bring addtional fusion generators online to increase comm and tractor strength.

Host KC_Spicer says:
Paladine:  I've just finished some rough calculations.  Whatever is inside that titanium it couldn't be large enough a ship for the number of bodies in that asteroid. 

CTACWolfe says:
@  CO:  I think the Ganymede was trying to check up on us...::said in a slightly playful tone::

OPS_Rhian says:
ENG:  Proceed

CO_Olbrun says:
@:;she smiles for good form::Wolfe: Indeed.

SCI_Paldn says:
Spicer: it may be a teleporation/gateway device

XO-Louis says:
:: Keeping focus :: Spicer... that is exactly what I hoped to hear. Lock the tractor on the shuttle.

CTACWolfe says:
@  ::starts slipping out of his pressure suit::

Host KC_Spicer says:
Paladine:  Exactly my thought as well.

CMO_Wells says:
@:: stores he suit and beings compiling what info they had gathered::

Eng_Tal says:
::powering up generators:

Host KC_Spicer says:
Xo:  Sir, we believe we have a theory on what may be inside the titanium in the asteroid...

OPS_Rhian says:
XO:  Engineering is brining back-up generators online to boost comms and tracktor beam

Host KC_Spicer says:
XO:  A gateway or teleportation device of some kind is the only thing that makes sense.

CO_Olbrun says:
@::she gets the ship in the air, and activates the sonar::

Eng_Tal says:
OPS/SCI: you should have addtional power in 5 seconds.

OPS_Rhian says:
ENG: Undrstood

SCI_Paldn says:
::sounds like Iconian window travel::

CTACWolfe says:
@  :;stores his suit as well and sits in the pilots chair::  CO: Sonar is down to 10% efficeny....better take it slow...

XO-Louis says:
:; Nods to the Commander :: I would agree. However, what are you proposing to prove out your theory?

Eng_Tal says:
::Watches power levels rise::

SCI_Paldn says:
::actively pinging the shuttles for navigation::

CMO_Wells says:

CTACWolfe says:
@  ::looks at the sonar readings......large rocks thrown in the storm around them::

Host KC_Spicer says:
XO:  I want to crack it sir.  Inside a contained area like one of your cargo bays.

CO_Olbrun says:
@::she adjusts for the drop in efficiency:: Wolfe: Understood.

Host KC_Spicer says:
XO:  Starfleet will be VERY interested in having whatever is inside that asteroid.

XO-Louis says:
:: Cringes at the possibility of performing that type of test ::

CTACWolfe says:
@  ::webs in::  CO:  I suggest you strap in Captain....

XO-Louis says:
Commander: Right now I am more interested in getting my crew back... Star Fleet takes a back seat to that.

Host KC_Spicer says:
Paladine:  What is the status of the ion storms?

SCI_Paldn says:
Spicer: the storm is begining to ionize the immediate area

Host KC_Spicer says:
XO:  Of course, sir.  I put people first too.  ::glancing down at her newly healed hands::

CTACWolfe says:
@   ::eyes grow wide as he reads the sonar pulses::  CO:   Asteroid incoming!  Break right!

XO-Louis says:

CO_Olbrun says:
@::she breaks right suddenly, and narrowly avoids the asteroid::

CTACWolfe says:
@  ::whistles slightly...shields or no...that would've hurt::

SCI_Paldn says:
XO: I suggest I cut a path for the shuttles with the phasers

CO_Olbrun says:
@::she nods:: Wolfe: COming up on the Ganymede-

XO-Louis says:
Commander: I apologize, I guess I'm a little on edge due to the fact that Star Fleet has been a little less than open with information on this mission.

OPS_Rhian says:
XO:  Shield strength is at 96%...we can get closer with little degredation

CTACWolfe says:
@  ::thinks:  Marvelous...::  CO:  Hope the tractorbeams work in this mess...

SCI_Paldn says:
::locking on asteroids::

Host KC_Spicer says:
XO:  That's because they don't know very much either.  We've got to find out what happened here.

XO-Louis says:
Paladine: I do not want to take a chance of igniting any gas... move us in closer.

CTACWolfe says:
@  CO: Shields holding at....34%...and degrading

XO-Louis says:
<Hei Yu> XO: Aye sir.. moving in.

CO_Olbrun says:
@*Wolfe* I just hope they realise we're out here.

SCI_Paldn says:
XO: Aye,

XO-Louis says:
Rhian: This is the home stretch... get a lock on that shuttle and get her aboard.

Host KC_Spicer says:
::monitoring the shuttle's progress::

CMO_Wells says:
@all: do we have anything on board that we could use to signal them? ANy thing?

SCI_Paldn says:
::prepared to extend shields::

CTACWolfe says:
@  CO:  Agreed....full stop!  ::see's another asteroid incoming much quicker::

OPS_Rhian says:
XO:  Aye sir

Host KC_Spicer says:
XO:  The shuttle is within tractor beam range sir.

Eng_Tal says:
XO: If we extend the shields around the shuttle that might give us a better lock.

OPS_Rhian says:
XO:  Engaging tractor beam

XO-Louis says:
Commander: Lock and load... get them back.

CO_Olbrun says:
@::she takes the shuttle to a full stop, and again narrowly avoids getting squashed::

Host KC_Spicer says:
::nodding at OPS to coordinate locking the tractor beam on the shuttle::

Eng_Tal says:
XO: Could protect the shuttle.

SCI_Paldn says:
::active navigational ping::

XO-Louis says:
Engineering: What is the status of the TR locks?

CTACWolfe says:
@  ::braces himself against the console as the asteroid passes within sight of the viewscreen::

CTACWolfe says:
@  ::w:: Sonofa..

Host KC_Spicer says:
ACTION: THE U.S.S. GANYMEDE TRACTORS THE SHUTTLE ICARUS.

Host KC_Spicer says:
ACTION: THE SHUTTLE LURCHES AS THE TRACTOR BEAM LOCKS ON.

CO_Olbrun says:
@::she bites her lip as the shuttle is grabbed by the tractor beam::

CTACWolfe says:
@  CO:  The Ganymede has us on tractor beam....

OPS_Rhian says:
XO:  We have the shuttle in lock

XO-Louis says:
Engineering: Extend the shields as she comes into range.

Eng_Tal says:
XO: Checking sir.

SCI_Paldn says:
::feeding data to tractor control system::

OPS_Rhian says:
::compensating for storm disruption::

CMO_Wells says:
@: CO: Captain remind me never to critizie the fact CO's raely get a chance to piolet anymore........ ::a atonished at either our incredible luck or the captain skill::

CTACWolfe says:
@  CO:  I hope they have figured out how to use Sonar over there.....or else we could get pulverized before we get within the shield envelope...

XO-Louis says:
:; Stands and watches the viewscreen intensly ::

Host KC_Spicer says:
ACTION: THE ICARUS IS PULLED TOARD THE GANYMEDE'S SHUTTLE BAY.

Eng_Tal says:
XO: They are getting stronger as the shuttle approaches

CO_Olbrun says:
@Wells: Noted, Doctor.

SCI_Paldn says:
::readying secondary tractor to repeal any asteroids near the shuttle::

XO-Louis says:
Tal: Get locks and prepare for transport... just in case.

CTACWolfe says:
@  :;leans back into his seat....his job superflourious now::

SCI_Paldn says:
::repelling asteroids::

Host KC_Spicer says:
ACTION: THE ICARUS IS BROUGHT SAFELY INTO THE SHUTTLE BAY.

Eng_Tal says:
::Locking on ::

OPS_Rhian says:
XO:  Traqnsporter lock enabled

Host KC_Spicer says:
::sigh of relief::

CTACWolfe says:
::smiles slightly as the shuttle is set down""

CO_Olbrun says:
@::she unfastens the harness as soon as the shuttle is down in the shuttle bay::

OPS_Rhian says:
XO:  The shuttlecraft is aboard

XO-Louis says:
*Icarus* What is your status?

Host KC_Spicer says:
XO: Sir, the Icarus is onboard.

XO-Louis says:
:: Nods to Rhian to acknowledge ::

CO_Olbrun says:
*Louis* We're all fine here.

CTACWolfe says:
::keys the commlink:: *XO*  This is Commander Wolfe...we're aboard

CMO_Wells says:
:: unnstraps and collects bio scan equipment::

CTACWolfe says:
::unwebs and shuts down the shuttle::

XO-Louis says:
*Captain* Welcome back.

XO-Louis says:
:: sighs and takes his seat in the Second chair ::

OPS_Rhian says:
::dispatches maintenance team to inspect/repair shuttle::

SCI_Paldn says:
::monitoring area for escort ships, active ping::

CO_Olbrun says:
::she doesn't respond, but heads for the bridge as soon as the hatch is opened.::

Eng_Tal says:
::monitoring warp propulsion systems::

XO-Louis says:
Commander Spicer: The Captain will be very interested in hearing your theories.

CTACWolfe says:
::passes a few comments to the OPS officer on deck about the shuttle gear and follows the CO out::

Host KC_Spicer says:
XO:  I'm very interested in seeing her data.  ::grim::

SCI_Paldn says:
XO: suggest we withdraw until the storm abates

CMO_Wells says:
:: heads ou ton wolfe's heels::

CTACWolfe says:
::thinks:  Another away mission come and gone...back to the console::

XO-Louis says:
Paladine: Very well. Helm: make it so.

CO_Olbrun says:
::she enters the bridge, and without glancing down heads straight for her ready room:: Spicer: Spicer, a moment, please.

OPS_Rhian says:
::relinqushes TAC, returns to OPS::

SCI_Paldn says:
::noting position of asteroid and "tagging" it

Host KC_Spicer says:
::already standing::  

CTACWolfe says:
::logs back into TAC::

Host KC_Spicer says:
CO:  Aye.

Host KC_Spicer says:
::falling in step behind the Captain::

Eng_Tal says:
::monitoring propulsion systems reactions to the storm::

XO-Louis says:
:: No time to react, stands as the Captain disappears into the RR ::

CMO_Wells says:
:: heads to SB to do report on their findings::

CTACWolfe says:
::takes over noting the postition of the major rocks...::

CO_Olbrun says:
::she doesn't even sit down:: Spicer: Evidence of the Barolian method of interdimensional travel has been found.

Host KC_Spicer says:
::eyebrows shoot up::  Oh?

SCI_Paldn says:
::feeding chart information to TAC station::

XO-Louis says:
Wolfe: Work with Stellar Cartography to get this entire area charted and logged.

CTACWolfe says:
::mutters something to the affect of::  Are we having fun yet...
SCI:  With the Ion Storm raging...I doubt our current readings will do much good in a few hours..

CO_Olbrun says:
Spicer: There is a residual effect that can be detected in connection with that method of travel.

OPS_Rhian says:
ENG:  Stand down the backup generators

Eng_Tal says:
Rhian: Aye sir.

CO_Olbrun says:
Spicer: The effect never diminishes- it can be seen as ripples, or echoes across subspace. If you don't know what you're looking for, you miss it.

SCI_Paldn says:
::thinks fun for the whole familty, glad its not me doing the charting heh::

Host KC_Spicer says:
CO:  What type of residue?  ::already guessing that Olbrun is quite familiar with the Barolian methods::

Host KC_Spicer says:
Ahhh.  

Eng_Tal says:
::Powering down backup generators::

Host KC_Spicer says:
CO:  Can sensors be configured to pick it up?

CO_Olbrun says:
Spicer: Yes, but I will be the one to make the adjustments.

XO-Louis says:
OPS: Make sure our dameners and shields are at spec to hold position.

Host KC_Spicer says:
CO:  It appears from our scans that there's a time-travel gateway of some sort inside that asteroid.  Can you tell if that's the case and if it's operational?

SCI_Paldn says:
::nothing like a good storm to shake uo Creation::

Eng_Tal says:
::running diagnotics on backup generators::

CO_Olbrun says:
Spicer: I will begin reconfiguring the sensors to pick it up, in the meantime, please work with Doctor Wells in examining the data found on the surface.

OPS_Rhian says:
XO:  Aye sir...shields at 95%, inertial dampeners nominal

CO_Olbrun says:
Spicer: If it is a portal, then we need to shut it down permanently.

Host KC_Spicer says:
CO: Aye sir.  

SCI_Paldn says:
::the gateway must be destroyed in the name of all that is Good::

Eng_Tal says:
Rhian: Backup generators are offline. Running maintence routines on generators.

XO-Louis says:
:: Steps closer the the viewscreen and lets mind wander about the mission... is it really necessary, all this risk ::

CO_Olbrun says:
Spicer: But, we have to determine if that's what it is before taking any other steps.

OPS_Rhian says:
ENG:  Understood

CTACWolfe says:
::leans forward, leaning on his console...running checks on his systems::

Host KC_Spicer says:
CO:  Exactly sir.

CO_Olbrun says:
Spicer: Dismissed.

Host KC_Spicer says:
I'll work with Wells and brief you on our analysis.

Host KC_Spicer says:
::turning and stepping onto bridge::

XO-Louis says:
:: Standing between helm and the viewscreen.... thinking ::

CO_Olbrun says:
::she enters the bridge, and heads up to the Engineering station, starting the recalibration process::

Host KC_Spicer says:
::heading for turbolift::

Eng_Tal says:
::watches the captain::

SCI_Paldn says:
Spicer: I hope that's a prototype

OPS_Rhian says:
CAPT:  Do you require assistance?

Host KC_Spicer says:
*Wells*  The Captain has requested that I go over the AT data with you and prepare an analysis.

CTACWolfe says:
::brings up what the Captain is doing on his terminal with a few keystrokes....using a few little programs he's installed as Security Chief::

Eng_Tal says:
CO: Problem Captain?

Host KC_Spicer says:
::nodding at Paladine:: Amen to that.

Host KC_Spicer says:
TL:  Sickbay.

CMO_Wells says:
*KC*: i'll have the data waiting for you in my office.

SCI_Paldn says:
Spicer; if it is a gate, maybe there is a mate to it

CO_Olbrun says:
Tal: No, just a little recalibration that I need to do.

Host KC_Spicer says:
