Host Admiral Starborne says:
Continue USS Andromeda "Shakedown" Part VI 10202.10

Host CO Kalla says:
::In her ready room.::

XO Miller says:
::continues reading the information on his console pertaining to the mission.  Looks at his chronometer and sees that it's time for the meeting with the CO::

Host Admiral Starborne says:
::puffing on a synthetic pipe::

MO Dathan says:
:: In Sickbay, running systems analysis, and configuring the EMH.::

XO Miller says:
CSO/CTO:  Ready?

FCO Durron says:
::Lays in a course for the point where the ship arrived in this dimension::

Host CO Kalla says:
*Starborne*: Admiral, if you would care to join us for a strategy meeting?

CSO Sketek says:
XO: Yes. Let's go.

CTO Senek says:
XO: Yes sir. ::Puts down a PADD and prepares for the meeting::

Host Admiral Starborne says:
Action: The Andromeda leaves orbit and begins to glide towards the jump point

XO Miller says:
::gets up and heads for the RR::  FCO:  You have the bridge Mr. Durron.

CEO Rogers says:
::in ME, glad to have a nice ol' un-broken nose again, going over the spiffy new nanite tech that’s been installed::

Host Admiral Starborne says:
*Captain*: My pleasure

FCO Durron says:
::stands:: XO: thank you sir.

EO Z’heta says:
::on ME trying to learn nanite technology::

CTO Senek says:
::Follows XO to the RR::

XO Miller says:
::arrives at the CO's RR and chimes::

Host CO Kalla says:
::Walks over to the replicator to get a large can of water and five glasses.::

Host CO Kalla says:
XO: Enter

FCO Durron says:
::motions to the relief FCO and walks toward the chair::

Host Admiral Starborne says:
::enters ready room, his internal gears making audible noises as his laser implant optics look around::

XO Miller says:
::enters the RR as the doors open::

CSO Sketek says:
::Enters the room after the XO::

CTO Senek says:
::Enters the RR::

Host Admiral Starborne says:
<Nanite Engineers> ::fixing things and replicating tools::

Host CO Kalla says:
::Turns around with the tray and puts it on the table.::   All: Welcome, have a seat.

CEO Rogers says:
::looks around, finally getting used to the regular presence of the nanite engineers in engineering::

XO Miller says:
::nods at the Captain and takes a seat::

CTO Senek says:
::Sits down::

Host CO Kalla says:
::Sits down too.::

FCO Durron says:
::looks at the departing figures and considers sealing the RR and ejecting the nanites but knows that he should obey the captain's wishes::

CSO Sketek says:
::Sits down::

Host CO Kalla says:
All.: We have to have some plan as to how to confront the Borg.

Host Admiral Starborne says:
::sits down, pours himself a glass of tasty oil::

Host Admiral Starborne says:
<Nanite infantry> ::wandering around the ship::

Host CO Kalla says:
All: The way I see it, we may be able to use our shuttles to attack from more than one front.

Host CO Kalla says:
All: Any ideas?

EO Z’heta says:
CEO: Good Morning, Chief! These nanite improvements sure are interesting.

XO Miller says:
CO:  I also suggest weapons modifications for a possible engagement with the Borg.

CEO Rogers says:
::nods:: EO: yes...you aren't having much trouble figuring them out are you?

FCO Durron says:
::turns away from the big chair and claps his hands behind his back facing the viewscreen::

EO Z’heta says:
CEO: As a matter of fact I am.  I've been absent of ME these last few shifts...

CSO Sketek says:
CO: I assume that we have to get lots of assistance from nanites in order for us to be any match for the Borg.

Host Admiral Starborne says:
Captain: Our last intelligence puts the criminals near Starbase50, from there we will be able to detect any engine trails, the only way we will engage the Borg is if they successfully make it to the Delta Quadrant

Host CO Kalla says:
XO: Good idea, talk to engineering about that.

CEO Rogers says:
::points at a button:: EO: don't touch that one. ::grins:: it's our new self-destruct

XO Miller says:
::shakes his head in agreement with Sketek::

Host Admiral Starborne says:
<Nanite Infantry> ::looks at the FCO::

Host CO Kalla says:
CSO: Quite correct.

EO Z’heta says:
CEO: Oh!!! I'll make sure to remember it, ma'am!

FCO Durron says:
::looks at the infantry::  Nanite Infantry: what are you doing here?

Host CO Kalla says:
Admiral: So we lay in a course for Starbase 50 once we are back in our own dimension.

Host Admiral Starborne says:
<Nanite Engineers> ::tinkering with everything, chatting in binary::

CEO Rogers says:
::points out a few different controls for various things on the ship and in engineering to the EO, explaining what they are and what they do...::

XO Miller says:
::turns to the CTO::  CTO:  Senek, I'm putting you in charge of those modifications.

Host Admiral Starborne says:
<Nanite Infantry> FCO: It was my impression we are welcome here.

CTO Senek says:
XO: Acknowledged. The modifications should be relatively simple and quickly completed.

Host CO Kalla says:
Admiral: But we need to prepare for all eventualities.

EO Z’heta says:
::Is very focused, catching every CEO's word::

Host Admiral Starborne says:
Captain: Agreed ::nods::

XO Miller says:
CTO:  Please make sure they are modified on the shuttles as well.

EO Z’heta says:
:: Is surprised to see how fast Comm Rogers mastered the nanite technology::

FCO Durron says:
Nanite Infantry: Yes. You are, but the bridge is a restricted area. We can't just have people wandering in and out.  However I was only asking as to your business on the bridge.

CTO Senek says:
XO: I will.

Host CO Kalla says:
::Pours a glass of water and drinks half.:: All: So, for now we cannot really do much more.

Host Admiral Starborne says:
<Nanite Infantry> FCO: I am trying to get acquainted with your species

XO Miller says:
Admiral:  Could you please re-state what our main objective will be in this scenario.

Host Admiral Starborne says:
Captain: We have equipment to enlarge you should it become necessary to interact in your dimension

EO Z’heta says:
CEO: Ma'am, do you think that this black hole power thing is reliable? ...and safe?

FCO Durron says:
Nanite Infantry: Then I recommend you go to the Lounge.

Host Admiral Starborne says:
XO: Of course, the main objective is to retrieve or destroy the Interdimensional Jump Drive as well as prevent your society from being corrupted by its technology and apprehending the criminals before the Borg gain the tech

Host Admiral Starborne says:
<Nanite Infantry> FCO: Do you not like us?

XO Miller says:
Admiral:  Understood.  Thank you sir.

CEO Rogers says:
EO:  According to the Nanite CEO, this Black Hole thing will be okay as long as it's kept stable......so...everyone is to be extra careful...::looks a bit unnerved at the thought of it going unstable....::

Host CO Kalla says:
Admiral: Thank you. All: Any other questions?

XO Miller says:
::shakes his head::  CO:  Nothing from me Captain.

FCO Durron says:
Nanite Infantry: I find no reason to trust you or your...people. And there is no reason for you to be on the bridge.  The captain however apparently trusts you so I will not force you to depart.

CTO Senek says:
Admiral, CO: How are these nanite criminals equipped? What kind of resistance is to be expected?

Host CO Kalla says:
::Looks at the admiral for the reply.::

Host Admiral Starborne says:
<Gears, Nanite Engineer> CEO: The black hole is contained by 6 dimensional matter, behold ::activates monitor:: if we begin to lose containment the matters dimensions will decrease

MO Dathan says:
:: Updates the Medical database to include information on the Nanites.::

Host Admiral Starborne says:
Captain: No, I believe we are all in agreement

EO Z’heta says:
CEO: Oh... I see.  BTW, these space time singularities were never my strong...  How do you make it stable? with anti-matter?

XO Miller says:
::turns his attention toward the CTO::

CEO Rogers says:
EO: ask our local expert...I have no experience with black-hole powered drives....::points to Gears::

Host Admiral Starborne says:
<Nanite Infantry> FCO: It appears that mutual suspicion keeps your society from working together

EO Z’heta says:
CEO: I will, ma'am! I'm very interested in learning.

FCO Durron says:
Nanite Infantry: If you are going to Psycho analyse people I doubt any of the crew will be very helpful. Now I will ask you again to leave the bridge.

Host Admiral Starborne says:
<Gears>EO: The black hole is channelled much like your dilithium crystal through 6 dimensional matter lattice which focuses the energy and contains it.

CEO Rogers says:
::looks around to see everything is going smoothly:: EO: I'm heading on up to the bridge to see how crew are doing to the new tech up there, you're in charge down here for now

EO Z’heta says:
CEO: Yes, Commander

CEO Rogers says:
::heads for the TL and orders it to the bridge when she's in it::

Host Admiral Starborne says:
<Nanite Infantry> ::moves away from the FCO and looks for someone else to talk to::

Host Admiral Starborne says:
Action: The Andromeda reaches the jump point

CEO Rogers says:
::waits paitiently in the TL for it to arrive on the bridge, humming an early 21st century tune...::

FCO Durron says:
::nods and turns to face the forward viewscreen:: 
<relief FCO> FCO:  Sir we have arrived...

CEO Rogers says:
::steps out of the TL and looks around, seeing very few people there::

CTO Senek says:
::Waits for the Admiral's answer::

FCO Durron says:
Releif FCO: Thank you.
*CO* :Ma'am we have arrived.

FCO Durron says:
::hears the TL open and turns to face the CEO::

Host Admiral Starborne says:
CTO: Nanites are armed with self replicating weapons, we can expect to encounter heavy and organised resistance.  However, they do not stay for prolonged engagements for fear of capture

CEO Rogers says:
::smiles:: FCO: and how are you doing with the new nanite technology?

XO Miller says:
*FCO*:  Prepare for jump.

Host Admiral Starborne says:
CTO: They tend to employ guerrilla tactics such as hit and fade

EO Z’heta says:
::turns to Gears::  Gears: I'm LtJG Z'heta.  How do you do?

FCO Durron says:
*XO*: Understood.

FCO Durron says:
CEO: all appears to be well. So far as I know.

Host Admiral Starborne says:
<Gears> EO: Greetings and well met, another engineer, your speciesdefinitely has promise.

CTO Senek says:
Admiral: Understood. I assume that you can give more detailed analysis of their tactics once the matter becomes more urgent.

CEO Rogers says:
::tapping her fingers on her thigh as she walks towards the FCO, in time to the music in her head, appearing quite relaxed and pleased with their current situation::

XO Miller says:
*FCO*:  Ahem, thank you Mr. Durron.

Host Admiral Starborne says:
CTO: Nanites are also equipped with internal transporters, yes I will unless I can be more specific now

FCO Durron says:
All personnel on the bridge: prepare for jump.

CEO Rogers says:
::wanders around on the bridge, making sure the few crew members are understanding the new nanite tech, and helping them out if they don't::

CTO Senek says:
Admiral: Any help would be appreciated.

Host Admiral Starborne says:
CTO: And you shall have it as promised

EO Z’heta says:
::bows to Gears:: Gears: My honour.  I very interested in your technology. I'm sure we can extend our symbiosis on the tech level as well.  How do you make a blackhole stable?

Host CO Kalla says:
All: Any other questions?

CTO Senek says:
Admiral: Thank you. CO: Nothing more from me.

Host CO Kalla says:
::Looks at CSO.::

CSO Sketek says:
CO: Nothing from me either.

XO Miller says:
CO:  Nothing from me.  I would like to be on the bridge when we jump.

CEO Rogers says:
::turns and nods at the FCO, and, after helping the last crewman, takes a seat at the engineering console, and waits for the jump, doing some routine system checks as she does so::

Host Admiral Starborne says:
<Gears> EO: By containing the singularity in 6 dimensional matter even though the black hole is 3 dimensional

Host CO Kalla says:
All: Meeting adjourned. Admiral: Thank you again.

Host Admiral Starborne says:
Captain: My pleasure

XO Miller says:
::gets up::  CO:  Captain, will you be heading out onto the bridge?

FCO Durron says:
::figures that the CO and XO will return shortly and heads for the Conn::

CTO Senek says:
::Exits RR and heads for the engineering console::

Host Admiral Starborne says:
::enters main bridge::

CSO Sketek says:
::Enters the bridge and goes to science::

EO Z’heta says:
Gears: Oh... I see.  Thank you. These multiple dimensions engineering abilities always marvel me.

Host CO Kalla says:
XO: Yes, in a minute.

XO Miller says:
CO:  Shall I give the order to jump?

FCO Durron says:
::looks at the nanites on the bridge::

Host Admiral Starborne says:
<Gears> EO: Its a lot of fun, the use of multidimensional matter in a 3 dimensional universe makes things that used to be impossible, possible

CTO Senek says:
CEO: Due to a possible engagement with the Borg during this mission, I would like to see our weapon systems tuned for maximum efficiency against Borg shielding.

Host CO Kalla says:
XO: Please do.

XO Miller says:
::nods and heads out of the RR::  FCO:  Are you ready to engage?

EO Z’heta says:
::realises that is mouth is opened and closes it:: Gears: That sure constitutes a whole new horizon for me! Thank you again. I'll now get back onto my duties.

FCO Durron says:
XO: standing by sir.

CTO Senek says:
CEO: I hope that there are free engineering teams for the job.

Host CO Kalla says:
::Remains seated behind her desk - thinking - then turns to her computer console.::

XO Miller says:
::walks over and takes his seat on the bridge::  FCO:  Engage.

FCO Durron says:
::taps the relief FCO on the shoulder and sits down when he stands and walks away::

FCO Durron says:
::hits the little red button::

CEO Rogers says:
::nods at the CTO:: CTO: I will handle it from ME then, there should be plenty of free hands with the extra nanite engineers ::stands and heads for the TL::

Host CO Kalla says:
Computer: Create text file Kalla-theta-two.

CTO Senek says:
CEO: Thank you. ::Goes to tactical::

Host Admiral Starborne says:
*Gears* Ok , light it up

Host CO Kalla says:
::An empty file comes on the screen, from her drawer Kalla finds something as quaint as a keyboard.::

CEO Rogers says:
::enters the TL and orders it back down the many decks to ME::

Host Admiral Starborne says:
Action: The Black Hole's density is motivated though the 6 dimensional crystalline matter, opening a controlled rift in the continuum of dimensions...

Host Admiral Starborne says:
Action: The Andromeda passes through technically an imploded black hole and passes into the Starfleet dimension

EO Z’heta says:
::Watches carefully the rift, still amazed::

Host Admiral Starborne says:
<Gears> All: Whoa....pretty colours , snicker

Host Admiral Starborne says:
<Gears> *Bridge* Jump complete

EO Z’heta says:
::looks at Gears and nods::

XO Miller says:
CSO:  Sketek, anything on sensors?

CSO Sketek says:
::Confirming location::

Host CO Kalla says:
::She types a short text and closes it with a password, then puts the keyboard away again.::

CEO Rogers says:
::steps out of the TL and into ME, and starts preparing the weapons systems for a chance encounter with the borg

CSO Sketek says:
XO: We have successfully returned to the right place. I'm detecting a Red Gemini warp trail leading to Rigel star system.

EO Z’heta says:
::looks at the CEO and stands:: CEO:Ma'am, the ME is yours.

XO Miller says:
CSO:  Acknowledged.

FCO Durron says:
XO: starcharts match sir. We are back in starfleet space, Sir.

Host CO Kalla says:
::Stands up and empties her water glass then puts the tray in the recycling unit.::

XO Miller says:
FCO:  Understood.  Set course and engage at Warp 6.

CEO Rogers says:
::nods at the EO:: EO: we have work to do, getting the weapons systems up to par so that we can hold out against the borg if we need to

CTO Senek says:
XO: It's possible that the Red Gemini criminals are trying to team up with the Orion pirates.

XO Miller says:
CTO:  From what little we know about them, I wouldn't put that past them.

FCO Durron says:
XO: yes sir.  ::sets a course for the Rigel system and types in the usual commands to engage the warp drive::

EO Z’heta says:
::Shivers at the word "borg" but gets a grip on himself as any worthy warrior would do::

FCO Durron says:
::taps the last command in again and gets back the negative buzz noise::

FCO Durron says:
XO: sir. Warp drive has been replaced with a wormhole drive sir.

CTO Senek says:
XO: They may be willing to trade their technology for star charts of this dimension or other similar. I suggest that we try to reach them before they reach Rigel.

EO Z’heta says:
CEO: What alterations do you suggest we make on our weapons?

XO Miller says:
CTO:  Anything show that they haven't already reached Rigel?

XO Miller says:
FCO:  Understood.

FCO Durron says:
XO: would you like me to engage the wormhole drive sir?

XO Miller says:
FCO:  Stand by.

FCO Durron says:
XO:yes sir.

CEO Rogers says:
EO: since the borg adapt so quickly, we'll try for the classic rotating option. A different type of weapon each time we fire, we'll need to see if the nanites provided any extra options for us in the weapons category, it will be a good help to us if they did...

FCO Durron says:
*CEO*: is the wormhole drive ready ma'am?

CSO Sketek says:
XO: They seem to have got out of our sensor range.

XO Miller says:
CSO:  Thank you Sketek.  FCO:  Engage wormhole drive.

CEO Rogers says:
*FCO* The wormhole drive is ready...::after checking several times to make sure::

Host CO Kalla says:
::Gets up from behind her desk.::

FCO Durron says:
XO: acknowledged  ::types the commands to engage wormhole drive:: *CEO*:thank you ma'am

EO Z’heta says:
CEO: I totally agree, ma'am.  Perhaps a random phase variation can give a little more help.

FCO Durron says:
::wonders what is going to happen next::

XO Miller says:
::leans forward in his seat to see what happens::

CTO Senek says:
::Prepares for something unexpected when the wormhole drive is engaged::

Host CO Kalla says:
::Exits her ready room quietly.::

CEO Rogers says:
::nods:: EO: good idea, okay, rotating, and phase variations, ask all the engineers, regular crew, and nanite for their input for extra ideas, we don't want to fall to the borg.

Host Admiral Starborne says:
Action:  The six dimensional matter realigns itself to become porous, allowing antiprotons to pass into the engines... local space folds, opening a stable wormhole to the Orion starsystem

Host Admiral Starborne says:
Action: The Andromeda instantly appears on the far side of the planet ShadowEve...

Host CO Kalla says:
::Sees that everyone is busy and quietly walks to the TL.::

FCO Durron says:
XO: we have arrived.

XO Miller says:
::feels the Andromeda slow after coming out of the wormhole::  FCO:  Acknowledged.

XO Miller says:
CSO:  Do sensors detect anything on the Red Gemini?

FCO Durron says:
::puts the Andromeda into a stable orbit.::XO: if I may...::turns and sees the CO:: CO:Ma'am may I have a word with you?

Host CO Kalla says:
::Sighs.:: FCO: Of course ::Turns around.::

CEO Rogers says:
::sets a team of EO's to work on configuring the weapons systems::

FCO Durron says:
::looks at Starborne::CO: in private ma'am?

Host Admiral Starborne says:
Action: The Lumina Medallion burns Kalla for a moment...

CSO Sketek says:
XO: There are several ships orbiting the planet. I can't get a more specific reading on them yet.

Host CO Kalla says:
FCO: Yes, of course. We can go to my ready room. ::Walks back the way she came.::

Host CO Kalla says:
::Enters the ready room and waits for FCO to follow.::

FCO Durron says:
::stands and follows the CO::

CTO Senek says:
::Hopes that the Andromeda stays undetected::

Host CO Kalla says:
::Sits behind her desk.: FCO: What can I do for you?

XO Miller says:
CSO:  See what you can do to get a fix on the Red Gemini.

FCO Durron says:
::stays standing::  CO: Ma'am, permission to speak freely ma'am?

Host CO Kalla says:
::Sighs and feels her medallion.:: FCO: Of course.

Host CO Kalla says:
::Looks closer at the medallion as she pulls it out from her tunic.::

XO Miller says:
CSO:  Any way to know if we've been detected?

FCO Durron says:
CO: with all due respect Ma'am, I do not like the way you are handling the situation ::ignores the fact that the captain has pulled a strange medallion from her tunic. CO’s are allowed to do strange things if they want::

CSO Sketek says:
XO: Not direct way. However it's a practical impossibility to detect us, so I think we are safe from that point of view.

Host CO Kalla says:
::Raises an eyebrow but refrains from comment. Now looks straight at FCO.::

EO Z’heta says:
CEO: I bet that if we use 6-dim matter instead, the Borg would have trouble adapting...

Host Admiral Starborne says:
Action: All the Crewhear this in their minds "I remember you and have not forgotten"

FCO Durron says:
CO: Ma'am. the nanites have given us no reason to trust them.  All they have done is mention borg and some criminal faction and we are on board with them.

CEO Rogers says:
::considers the fact:: EO: possibly....

XO Miller says:
CSO:  I certainly hope so.  If anything changes let me know immediately.

FCO Durron says:
::ignores the voice in his head as he usually does::

CTO Senek says:
::Feels weird after hearing voices in his head and thinks of going to the counsellor::

XO Miller says:
CTO:  Senek, how's our modifications coming along?

EO Z’heta says:
::nods at the CEO and goes to watch Gears operating::

Host CO Kalla says:
::Feels worse all the time.:: FCO: Get to the point.

CTO Senek says:
*CEO* How are the modifications proceeding?

Host CO Kalla says:
::Now she is even hearing voices, a voice she knows.::

FCO Durron says:
CO: I wonder why the nanites have not sent out their own vessel? and I am worried if you are thinking clearly?

CEO Rogers says:
::tapping at a console:: *CTO* we're proceeding at an excellent rate, we should be finished in no time

CTO Senek says:
*CEO* Excellent. Your work is appreciated.

Host CO Kalla says:
::Dizziness is enveloping her.:: *XO* Could you join us in my ready room, now.

Host CO Kalla says:
FCO: Obviously not.

CTO Senek says:
XO: The progress has been quick, and the modifications should be finished very soon.

FCO Durron says:
::looks at the CO:: CO: Are you alright ma'am?

XO Miller says:
*CO*:  On my way.  CSO:  Sketek, you have the bridge.  CTO:  Thank you Senek.

Host Admiral Starborne says:
