USS Paula Greene presents

Executive Officer in Training

Host SM Steve says:
USS Paula Greene, 10509.19

Host SM Steve says:
The Paula Greene has discovered the cause of the distress call from the Chronus, a dimensional rift which was causing an alteration of the laws of physics in our universe.  They believe they have found a solution, but need to confirm.

CO Captain McAllister says:
FCO:  Ms. Shilos, prepare to back us off if need be.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::on the bridge, standing, looking at the main screen and waiting for the CMO to report::

CMO Hayes says:
::at sci keeping an eye on sensors::

FCO Shilos says:
::prepares an series of exit vectors, some including towing the Chronus and some not::

CO Captain McAllister says:
::leans forward in his chair again::

CMO Hayes says:
XO: As far as sensors readings say, the rift is closed. However, it seems the bubble is slowly dispersing. It's actually spreading out and diluting.

FCO Shilos says:
CO: Departure courses plotted, sir.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CMO: Interesting.  When will the bubble disappear completely?

CO Captain McAllister says:
FCO:  Well done.  I figured you had it covered, but I'm obligated to make sure.  ::grins::

CMO Hayes says:
::checks sensors again to give the XO an approximate timing::

FCO Shilos says:
XO: Navigational sensors show that the ship is being moved, slightly by a radiation wave coming from the area of the bubble.  It is like a solar wind and is slowly decreasing in force, sir.

CMO Hayes says:
XO: According to my approximations, I say the bubble will have no real effect in a few days, and will not be discernable from the rest of space in about a week.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
FCO: Understood.  We're in a safe position, aren't we?

CO Captain McAllister says:
::checks the radiation levels on the ship::

Host SM Steve says:
<Chronus CO Uester> XO: Thank the fates.  Then at least the only loss was our ship.  Disappointed to loose, but if this happened in a star system, I'd hate to imagine what could have happened.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CMO: Thank you.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::nods to CO Uester:: CO Uester: These experiments should be conducted with more caution.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: Captain, I don't think there's much point in staying here to confirm the total dissipation of the bubble. Perhaps we can launch a probe and be on our way.

Host SM Steve says:
<C_CO_Uester> XO: Precautions were taken, but the effect was rather different than other procedures that had been done.  I suppose it had to happen, though, and at least we know this dimesion should be avoided.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CO Uester: Understood Captain.  All's well that ends well

CMO Hayes says:
::returns to the never-ending sensor checking::

CO Captain McAllister says:
XO:  Have the probe prepared for launch.  We'll wait here just a few more moments, just to verify.

Host SM Steve says:
<C CO Uester> XO: Ends?  That's one way to put it, but only if your talking the Chronus, and my own, career.  There is still work to be done.  Too many enemies of the Federation to stand pat.  But that is in the capable hands of your generation, I'm certain.

FCO Shilos says:
::continues finessing courses making them better, and faster::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CMO: Lieutenant, can you prepare a probe to be launched at the bubble's centre?

CMO Hayes says:
XO: Yes, sir.

CMO Hayes says:
::prepares the probe::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CO Uester: I thank you for your kind words.  Nevertheless one generation is always carried by the previous ones, Captain.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
FCO: engage the tractor beam on the Chronus.  How fast can we go and still tow her?

CMO Hayes says:
XO: Probe is ready.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CMO: Great.  CO: Sir, the probe is ready to be launched

Host SM Steve says:
<C CO Uester>  XO: No need to humour an old Captain.  I know I've over stayed my glory days.  Just wish I could have gotten the old goat to her decommissioning.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CO Uester: I'm sure you will.  The Chronus isn't beyond repair, I think.

FCO Shilos says:
::powers up the tractor beam emitter that is closest to the Chronus and locks on:: XO: We should be able to maintain normal warp speeds, sir, but I will need to tractor the Chronus into a point between our warp nacelles, and hold her at that point.  It should not be that difficult.

CO Captain McAllister says:
XO:  Great, launch when immediately.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::thinks for a moment:: CO Uester: Nevertheless it will be recycled into a new starship and her history and achievements will forever be remembered.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CMO: Launch the probe!

CMO Hayes says:
XO: Launching the probe now... ::launches it::

Host SM Steve says:
<C CO Uester> XO: Yes, there's that, and I hope her place is remembered some.  She was a good ship.  Spent most of my career on her.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CO Uester: It felt like home, didn't her?  I'm beginning to know that feeling, Sir.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CMO: On screen

Host SM Steve says:
<C CO Uester>  ::Nods and stares at the front of the Bridge, deep in thought.::

CMO Hayes says:
XO: Aye. ::follows orders::

FCO Shilos says:
::carefully pulls the remains of the Chronus to the point between the Paula Greene's warp nacelles and keeps an eye on it, ignoring the information flowing in from the probe::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: To maintain warp factor, the Chronus should be towed between our nacelles, Sir.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CMO: Is the probe on target?

CO Captain McAllister says:
XO:  Understood.  Just keep an eye on her.

CMO Hayes says:
XO: It is. It doesn't offer much more information than I've given you before. The area is still dispersing and as it does, the increased fusion process becomes less and less. Like we hoped.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CMO: Thank you, Doctor.  CO: The probe has reached its target.

CO Captain McAllister says:
XO:  Do indications point that it is still dispersing?

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: They do, Captain.  In fact, they corroborate our sensor readings.  CMO: Isn't that so?

CMO Hayes says:
::nods::

CO Captain McAllister says:
All:  Nice work, all of you.

FCO Shilos says:
CO: Thank you sir.

Host SM Steve says:
<Hudson OPS> Com: Paula Greene: This is the Hudson, leading the second wave of the search and rescue teams.  We're approaching the system now.  What happened in that system?  Sensor readings are nuts from here.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::nods at the Captain's praise of the crew::

Host SM Steve says:
Action: The comm message is slightly garbled, but readable.

CO Captain McAllister says:
XO:  I certainly hope that's due to the wave's interference.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: that would explain it.

Host SM Steve says:
<Hudson OPS> Com: Paula Greene: Do you read us Paula Greene?  If you need assistance, we should be in range within minutes.

FCO Shilos says:
::makes sure that the comm message is on screen::

CO Captain McAllister says:
FCO:  Inform them we should be fine, but we'll let them know if anything unusual comes up.

FCO Shilos says:
Com: Hudson: Hudson, Paula Greene, everything is fine here, we are all fine here.  Everything is under control. We will contact you should something come up.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: Should we make our way to a Starbase?  The Chronus should be delivered to the SF engineers.

CO Captain McAllister says:
::nods to the XO::  FCO:  Lt., set course for the nearest SB.  We'll turn over the Chronus before making our way back to McKinley.

Host SM Steve says:
<Hudson OPS> Com: Paula Greene: Understood, we hadn't heard from you in awhile and were getting a bit worried.  Looks like you have a story to tell when you guys buy us drinks back at McKinley.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::sits down at the 1st officer's console::

CO Captain McAllister says:
::looks over at the XO::  XO:  Buy them drinks?

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::looks back at the CO:: CO: They should be the one's buying.  It was our "nacelles" getting kicked

FCO Shilos says:
= Com: Hudson Just a slight weapons malfunction.  Sorry that we didn't contact you sooner but we've been having some problems with our comms.  I am sure that our XO would be happy to buy your senior crew a round.

CO Captain McAllister says:
XO:  Well, I think you just got volunteered to buy!

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::looks at the FCO and mentally starts counting the latinum he'll be spending::

Host SM Steve says:
<Hudson OPS>: COM: Paula Greene: Slight weapons malfunction caused that?!?!  You have half the system on fire, and the Chronus looks like it's been smacked in half.  If that's slight, then can I borrow a slight bit of latinum?

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::makes an upset face:: CO: It seems so, Sir.  BTW, the Paula Greene and Chronus crew are included in the round.

FCO Shilos says:
Com: Hudson: Negative Hudson ::adds some static to the transmission:: Com:Hudson: I'm sorry Hudson, your breaking up ::adds some more static:: Com:Hudson: We will talk at Mckinley.

FCO Shilos says:
::Cuts the comm than sets a course to the nearest starbase:: CO: Course plotted, sir.

Host SM Steve says:
<Hudson OPS> Com: Paula Greene: Understood, we'll flank you back to base.

CO Captain McAllister says:
FCO:  Just keep us at a safe speed so as not to inflict damage on us or the Chronus.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
FCO: Engage a strong warp factor.  I'm getting thirsty!

FCO Shilos says:
::cuts the speed she had plotted in half and forwards the course, interference free to the Hudson than engages the course:: CO: Aye sir.

CMO Hayes says:
XO: Sir? Last sensor sweep shows the dispersal is speeding up a bit. At this rate, it should be clear in 2 days and... ::looks at her screen:: gone in 5.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::smiles:: CMO: Great news, Doctor
