U.S.S. Ganymede – November 17, 1998

Kris:
The U.S.S. Ganymede has reached the rendezvous point on the Romulan Neutral Zone.  The U.S.S. Rampart is not there, however, a substantial amount of wreckage is evident.

Kris:
Some of the wreckage is bearing a Federation ident code, however, the ever-suspicious and thorough crew of the Ganymede have determined the code and wreckage to belong to ships missing for some months now.

Kris:
A Betazed woman mentally crying out for assistance has lured the Ganymede's investigating shuttle team into the Romulan Zone.  The woman has been murdered and the shuttle attacked, by three Jem'Hadar ships.

Kris:
The Captain has been injured on the shuttle, and the overall situation is grim.  With shields and engines offline, and structural integrity degrading, the occupants of the shuttle try to keep their Captain alive until help can arrive...

CEOBishop:
::In engineering preparing for a possible conflict::

EO_Cerdan:
CEO: I'll get a team on it.

CaptWolfe:
Louis:  Too many sometimes Commander......were there any survivors?  I heard something about a Betazoid?

TACSirach:
Civ: Yeah, just as soon as I figure out what blood is mine and which blood isn't

CmdrMaloy:
Patrick: The sooner we get this done, the better for the symbiont.

CNS_Warke:
Civ:you should be able to sense her.  She is a trill

XO_Louis:
Captain Wolfe: Do you have an reason to remain here?

FCO_Vid:
*CEO* :Bishop are the new shield modulations operable?:

Civ_Wizam:

CEOBishop:
*EO* Take command when you get there

TACSirach:
::all sounds are mute...there is complete silence...he can see what is going on, but not hear it...however he knows he is not deaf::

CNS_Warke:
Civ:with practice you'll learn to distinguish things better

SO_Wilkin:
XO: Sir, we could drop a cloud of radiation to disrupt the sensor readings of the Jem'Hadar ship

XO_Louis:
:: Turns to Vid :: Hold our position and keep an eye on that ship out there.

CMO_Lizzy:

CEOBishop:
XO: ::in an urgent whisper:: Its important

XO_Louis:
*All* Keep us here, do our scans. Keep a safe distance. No hostile action.

FCO_Vid:
XO:Acknowledged:

XO_Louis:

CaptWolfe:

Civ_Wizam:
CNS: strange, I seem to only be able to feel certain species

XO_Louis:
Bishop: She has died. Our Captain is no longer with us as Dara.

SO_Wilkin:
Vid:  All I am picking up is it's presence and use of sensors

CNS_Warke:
Civ: good.  With time you could learn to sense peoples feelings and thoughts.  Sometimes even be able to sense where they are

XO_Louis:
:: Quietly :: She will be missed.

OPS_Rhian:
SCI:  What is it scanning for?

CEOBishop:
::gasps and looks down for a second:: That’s just going to make what I have to say that much harder

CMO_Lizzy:
:: exhausted after the surgery, she leaves her patient in the capable hands of her medical staff and goes to her quarters ::

SO_Wilkin:
Rhian:  I believe....us sir

FCO_Vid:
SO:Acknowledeged:

XO_Louis:
Lt: What do you have for me?

CNS_Warke:
Wiz: some species have a natural immunity to telepathy while others have learned to shield themselves from telepathy

CEOBishop:
::hands the XO the PADD::XO: I believe the shuttle may have been sabotaged

CaptWolfe:
::once the procedure is over, steps into the sickbay, lurking in the shadows::

CO_Olbrun:

CaptWolfe:
::steps forward....looking serious as ever::

FCO_Vid:

Civ_Wizam:
CNS: ah ok.....though I sense alot coming from the XO and Sirach, sometimes they are dominate with sadness, but every now and again they mix

CEOBishop:
XO: Ens Cerdan found that the shuttle shields were tampered with causing them to fall easier than normal

CO_Olbrun:
::she brushes her hair back from her forehead:: Wolfe: That doesn't mean I'm not needed there. ::it's like she didn't skip a beat, even if a few things have changed.::

OPS_Rhian:

CO_Olbrun:

CaptWolfe:
Olbrun:  your executive officer has everything under control for now.  You need your rest...take it from someone who knows

CNS_Warke:
Civ: can you sense why Sirach is filled with sadness?

SO_Wilkin:
::scans Jem'Hadar's energy signature::

CEOBishop:
XO: We're going over the sensor logs now to find out

CO_Olbrun:
::she looks up at him:: Wolfe: You never did tell me why you are here.
