Host ACTD John Sea says:
Resume USS Andromeda "The Gemini Entanglement" 10406.27

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@::downloading logs::

FCO Lieutenant Junior Grade Andrews says:
::sits at the helm, trying to back the Andromeda and remaining Gemini away from the black holes without tearing the ship apart::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Scene: The Gemini lingers on the edge of oblivion as both future and present Andromedas attempt to tractor it from the black hole's greedy gravity

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
FCO: Keep the tractor beam pulling.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The Future Andromeda

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
::checks the SRS and attempts to correct sensor data because of the gravimetric distortion::

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Keeps the away team in a transporter lock::

FCO Lieutenant Junior Grade Andrews says:
CO: Aye sir. Hopefully with both ships we'll be able to pull the Gemini out.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The Future Andromeda's tractor beam collapses as the future Sol type star in this system enters a period of solar flares

FCO Lieutenant Junior Grade Andrews says:
CO: Sir, the other Andromeda's tractor just collapsed!

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CSO: While we're busy with other things, try to figure out what is causing these temporal anomalies and why the other ships are an hour from us in the future.

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: Captain, sensors indicate that the sun will enter in a storm phase in 30 minutes

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
FCO: I saw it from the screen. We'll just have to maintain this lock.

XO Commander Durron says:
@::attempting to bring the warp core online from the Gemini's bridge::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*XO* You have 30 minutes to bring the engines online.

XO Commander Durron says:
@*CO* It would be easer with some engineering crew sir.

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: Yes, Sir. ::adjusts the sensors for tachyon and chronotron particles::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CTO: Assemble an engineering team and beam them to Gemini.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*XO* We'll try to get a team and send it as soon as possible.

CTO Commander Senek says:
CO: Aye. ::Orders five engineers to make themselves ready to be beamed to the Gemini::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
<Log Image>Captain Twinsoul Reporting, we have entered the Ulysses star system after journeying quite some time from Federation space, the system consists of one Sol type star, one supermassive black hole and one K Class Planet orbiting the sun in a very tight orbit

XO Commander Durron says:
@CNS: I am going to head for engineering and try to get the ship's warpcore up. You stay on the bridge and see if you can find out what happened here.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@XO: Sir, It seems that the Captain and 50 crew members are unaccounted for

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
Computer: run a trans-spectral analysis for quantum string singularities, and temporal distortions

XO Commander Durron says:
@::Climbs into the Jeffries tubes and begins making his way towards engineering::

CTO Commander Senek says:
*XO* You'll need to lower your shields for a while. An engineering team will be beamed in to help you.

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Notes anomalous sensor readings from the edge of the system::

CTO Commander Senek says:
CSO: Take a look at the sensor readings from the edge of the system. It appears that more anomalies are coming up.

XO Commander Durron says:
@*CTO* Understood. Beam your team directly to engineering.
 *CNS* Lower the shields. We are going to receive some help.

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: Captain, there's an inverted wormhole in the system. With your permission, I'd like to send a probe to see where and when it leads to.

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Lowers the Andromeda's shields and beams the engineers from their present locations to Gemini's engineering as soon as the Gemini's shields are lowered::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@*XO* Aye sir, lowering shields ::moves to another station and lowers shields::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: Gemini Shields lower

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CSO: Permission granted. Analyze it as well as you can.

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
CTO: Thank you. Please transfer the data to my console, I'll check them...

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Brings the shields up after the beamout is complete::

XO Commander Durron says:
@::climbs out of the Jeffries tubes in Engineering and glances around whistling than rushes to the warpcore control console::

CTO Commander Senek says:
CSO: Here. ::Shows CSO the readings showing a dramatic increase in space-time curvature on the edge of the system::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Scene: The Gemini warp console has been configured to draw as much power as possible to the shields draining the antimatter, the Chief Engineer is slumped over the console

XO Commander Durron says:
@::sees the engineers looking around::*CNS* Shields up.

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
CTO: I see... I wonder if the presence of the wormhole can be the reason for the curvature... For the time being I'll prepare a probe to check on it.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@*XO* Aye sir, shields are back up ::activates shields::

XO Commander Durron says:
@::attempts to bring up the Engineer's logs:: Engineering team: Lets try to get this ships engines back on line and move her out.

CTO Commander Senek says:
CSO: Fine.

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
CTO: Meanwhile, I'd thank you if you gathered as much data as you can on the sudden curvature.

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
::presses buttons and configures a class 4 probe within a few minutes::

CTO Commander Senek says:
CSO: I will.

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Monitors the anomaly at the edge of the system::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@::moves true logs fast to see what happened on the Gemini::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
<Engineer_Vector> Log: Chief Engineer Vector Reporting: I have configured the shields in such a way as to allow us to survive hopefully until help arrives, after the subspace fracture occurred, it became impossible to generate a warp field to escape, this region of space is poisonous to humanoid life, may God save our souls if help doesn’t arrive

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: Captain, a class 4 probe is ready to be launched. It has an increased shield because of the wormhole ride, telemetry and updated particle sensors.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CSO: Launch it.

XO Commander Durron says:
@::watches the engineers go to work::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@self: interesting log

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
FCO: How much crew is there on Gemini?

XO Commander Durron says:
@::attempts to bring the warpcore up to full power::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
::presses buttons:: CO: Launching...

CEO Ensign Conor says:
@::Running systems check on Gemini systems::

FCO Lieutenant Junior Grade Andrews says:
::taps his console:: CO: The Gemini is fully staffed, save its captain and.. fifty crew.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
FCO: So how much does it make?

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@::keeps on searching::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: By the way, Sir, I programmed it to return back from the wormhole 5 min. after launch.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CSO: Very good.

XO Commander Durron says:
@*CO* my guess is we are going to need more antimatter to get this ship running.

FCO Lieutenant Junior Grade Andrews says:
CO: 699

XO Commander Durron says:
@::keeps working on getting power to the engines wondering what the engineering team is up to::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
FCO: How long would it take for us to beam them out if we used all our emergency transport capability?

CTO Commander Senek says:
CO, CSO: Increased space-time curvature at the boundary of the system, apparently caused by the wormhole, will very soon make leaving this system impossible.

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
::checks the progress of the probe::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CTO: Acknowledged. Do you recommend we pull out?

CTO Commander Senek says:
CO: That would mean abandoning the Gemini.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CTO: Yes, but if their crew is already lost, I'm only wondering the implications on the security of our crew.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Data: Probe Data determines that the inverted wormhole is upon closer examination two identical wormholes, one regular open wormhole and one inverted one on top of the normal one

CTO Commander Senek says:
CSO: Do you have any idea on the causes of the anomaly? Could its progress be reversed somehow?

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
::looks at the CTO concerned::

FCO Lieutenant Junior Grade Andrews says:
CO: We can only emergency beam out... it'd probably take an hour to get everyone -- not including our own crew.

CTO Commander Senek says:
CO: We still have some minutes. I'd wait until the very last moment before leaving.

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
CTO: I was hoping the probe could tell us something about that, like revealing the cause of the temporal subspace fracture.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
FCO: Understood. So that option is not available.

XO Commander Durron says:
@::continues working on the console trying to figure out what is going to be the most useful thing to do to warpcore::

CTO Commander Senek says:
CSO: We may not have time for that.

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
CTO: Perhaps it is reversible, or at least, its effects minimized so that we and the Gemini may leave

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CTO: Very well. Prepare a probe with our current status and logs. Send it to Federation so that they are a bit wiser if they have to send a yet another ship to investigate.

FCO Lieutenant Junior Grade Andrews says:
CO: Not unless the other Andromeda helps out.

CTO Commander Senek says:
CO: Aye.

CEO Ensign Conor says:
@::Directs engineering crew to appropriate areas::

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Stores the logs and sensor readings from Andromeda's time in this system in a probe's database::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: Andromeda Engineers go to work, filling up the warp core with antimatter and attaching power generators to the local panels

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CSO: Right now it is your top priority to get some kind of a picture of what is happening here. We are now truly lost because we can't really predict anything of what is happening here.

XO Commander Durron says:
@CEO: what do we need to do to get this ship working?

CEO Ensign Conor says:
@XO: We need to fill the warp core again and try restart it.

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Programs the probe to make its way through the anomalous boundary of the system and then stay in the nearby space::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*XO* We are rather short on time here. What's the status of your team?

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Launches the probe::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: Yes, Captain. I'm reading Federation logs on anything that resembles this, while I wait for the probe.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@::goes over the sensor logs::

XO Commander Durron says:
@*CO*We are filling up the tank, sir, I'm gonna have to restart the impulse engines. Doing so now.

XO Commander Durron says:
@::begins working on powering up the Impulse engines::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: Andromeda Engineers are pouring Hydrogen into the Gemini's Impulse Fuel tanks

CEO Ensign Conor says:
@XO: The tanks are full, preparing to relight the engines

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: Just before it started circling the wormhole the probe showed that the wormhole is not natural, it was triggered by something which then likely caused the fracture.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The probe does indeed escape the system

CTO Commander Senek says:
CO: The probe with our logs has successfully exited the system.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CSO: Try to analyze it further to discover what triggered it.

XO Commander Durron says:
@::runs through a quick check list and pauses before pressing the ignite button::
  Engineers: Ready to Ignite the engines.
  CEO: Go ahead.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CTO: Good.

CEO Ensign Conor says:
@::Starts relighting engines::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: I believe that when the Gemini first entered the system, the system was normal and not duplicated. It is in fact the wormhole which is causing all this

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@*XO* How is it going down there sir?

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CSO: Does the probe tell anything about where the wormhole might be leading to?

XO Commander Durron says:
@*CNS*Not bad. just kinda busy...oh and you might want to hold onto something.

CTO Commander Senek says:
CSO: Can you determine what exactly triggered the anomalies?

XO Commander Durron says:
@::shifts a fraction of power from shields to the Engines::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The impulse Engines sputter a few times as the main Impulse Drive begins to stir....soon they flame to life with a magnificent roar as deuterium ignites, the thunder of the Impulse Ignition can be heard throughout the whole ship, from the Andromeda main viewer, the Gemini Impulse engines go from dark to deep red

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@*XO* Don't worry about me sir, worry about getting outa here

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
CTO: I'm trying...

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Notices the Gemini's engines start:: FCO: I believe our tractor beam is no longer necessary.

XO Commander Durron says:
@All: Yahoo

CEO Ensign Conor says:
@XO: Now time to fly out of this wormhole.

FCO Lieutenant Junior Grade Andrews says:
CTO: I think you might be right. ::releases the Gemini::

XO Commander Durron says:
@*CO* Engines are up sir. We are moving. Keep the tractor on us for now though.

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
CTO: I know that an interaction between an intense warp field and a gravimetric distortion may cause subspace anomalies...

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*XO* Understood.

XO Commander Durron says:
@CEO: I'm heading for the bridge. Keep her warm and keep the shields up as much as possible.

XO Commander Durron says:
@*CNS* See if the helm is responding. If so get us clear.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
FCO: They got the engines working. Maintain the tractor beam but also prepare to take additional distance from the black hole.

XO Commander Durron says:
@::Dives into the Jeffries tubes and heads for the bridge::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
COMPUTER: Exhibit library entries on inverted wormholes. Crosscheck them with anomalous time.

FCO Lieutenant Junior Grade Andrews says:
CO: Aye sir. ::re-engages the tractor::

CEO Ensign Conor says:
@::Begins to reactive core systems::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The Andromeda and future Andromeda release the tractor beam at exactly the same instant, the Gemini is under her own power

XO Commander Durron says:
@::Climbs over a unconscious engineer and keeps climbing towards the bridge::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@*XO* Checking sir ::moves to the helm::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
FCO: Are you still able to plot a course out of the system?

Host ACTD John Sea says:
<Computer> CSO: An inverted wormhole has never been encounted, it has been theorized to be the cause of curved space it various parts of the universe

XO Commander Durron says:
@::falls out of a different Jeffries tube access and looks around the bridge than shrugs and heads for the helm station than looks at it over the CNS's shoulder.

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
Computer: Show the theories on such wormholes, starting by the most recent ones

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@XO: Sir the helm is responding, moving us out of here

XO Commander Durron says:
@CNS: bring us alongside the Andromeda

Host ACTD John Sea says:
<Computer> CSO: Inverted wormholes could be caused by attempting to create an artificial wormhole using the gravity of a supermassive black hole as a fuel source

XO Commander Durron says:
@::walks to the log panel and attempts to bring up the last log entry::

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Stares at the future Andromeda in the viewscreen::

FCO Lieutenant Junior Grade Andrews says:
CO: I'd normally say no, not with that curved space.. but if the probe got out.. I should be able to, if I can follow its trajectory.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@XO: Aye sir ::takes the Gemini towards the Andromeda::

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Returns to monitoring the space-time at the system's boundary::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
FCO: Let's try it.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
FCO: Plot the course.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The outer system boundary is closing, only one starship could possibly fit out

FCO Lieutenant Junior Grade Andrews says:
CO: Aye sir. CSO: Can you patch me that probe's trajectory, Commander?

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*XO* Take the helm of Gemini. We need an experienced pilot there right now and you are one. Once we engage, follow the Andromeda as we attempt to leave the system.

XO Commander Durron says:
@*CO* What about the Gemini's Captain and the missing crew?

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
CO/CTO: Inverted wormholes have been theorizes to happen when someone uses a huge blackhole as a fuel source. I wonder if someone on the Gemini may have caused it...

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: As the present Gemini moves away from the black hole, the future Gemini reappears, with the XO and the away team on it as well

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@*CO* Sir, the captain and 50 crewmembers are missing

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
FCO: I'm on it ::checks the probe's trajectory and presses buttons::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*XO* I don't even know where they are so right now we don't have time to start finding out about it.

FCO Lieutenant Junior Grade Andrews says:
::gets the trajectory and plots a course:: CO: Course laid in, sir. Full impulse, on your word.

XO Commander Durron says:
@::walks over to the helm station:: CNS: Try to bring up transporter logs. and the mission orders. See if you can figure out where that captain went.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*XO* Engage right after we do.

XO Commander Durron says:
@::takes the helm and brings the Gemini in behind the Andromeda::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
FCO: Engage.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CTO: Watch our systems and shields.

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
FCO: No sweat here, the probe escaped easily due to its low mass.

CTO Commander Senek says:
CO: Aye.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@XO: aye sir ::stands up and gives the helm to the XO. moves to the science station to search in the transporter logs::

XO Commander Durron says:
@*CEO* watch the Shields. Tell me if they start to fail.

FCO Lieutenant Junior Grade Andrews says:
::taps a button:: All: In light of Commander Z'heta’s revelation.. everybody hang on tight.

FCO Lieutenant Junior Grade Andrews says:
::engages the impulse engine::

CEO Ensign Conor says:
@XO: Aye, sir.

XO Commander Durron says:
@::Watches for movement on the Andromeda::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The curve space closes and both the Andromeda and the Gemini begin to go in circles as do their future counterparts

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
::adjusts sensors and tries to trace the flow of gravitons to see where they may be being used as fuel::

CTO Commander Senek says:
CO: The boundary has closed. We can't get out.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@XO: Sir, it seems that the captain and the other missing crewmembers lead an assault on an alien lab on a K class planet. I'm searching for more information

XO Commander Durron says:
@CNS: Are you sure?

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
All: So, it seems we'll be in here for a while until we figure out another way out.

CTO Commander Senek says:
CO: That practically means that we'll have to find a way to reverse these anomalies.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@XO: That is what I can make up from transporter logs and written logs

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*XO* We can't get out of the system.

XO Commander Durron says:
@::watches the Andromeda than backs off giving her room than looks::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
CO/CTO: The planet is drawing gravitons from the supermassive black hole. I suspect that the cause of the inverted wormhole in there, in some sort of engine that uses gravitons as fuel

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*XO* What is the status of the Gemini crew? Can they be treated and made awake?

XO Commander Durron says:
@*CO* I've go a plan.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CSO: It seems that the planet is now our next target for investigation.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*XO* Plan?

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: Aye aye, Sir. Should I send a probe?

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CSO: To the planet? No, I don't think that is necessary.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The future Andromeda sends a shuttle to the future K class planet, the shuttle is a combat shuttle

XO Commander Durron says:
@::backs off the throttle::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: Yes, Captain. I'll do a thorough sensor sweep of it.

XO Commander Durron says:
@*CO* It looks like you will have are going to like it...sir

CTO Commander Senek says:
CO: The future Andromeda is sending a shuttle to the planet.

XO Commander Durron says:
@::looks at the report of the shuttle::

CTO Commander Senek says:
CO: It appears to be prepared for combat.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*XO* What are you talking about?

FCO Lieutenant Junior Grade Andrews says:
::disengages the impulse drive; no use in wasting fuel::

XO Commander Durron says:
@*CO* Their appears to be an alien laboratory on the planet. The Captain and some of the crew of the Gemini attempted an assault on it.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CTO: Yellow alert, but do not power up weapons yet.

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Activates yellow alert::

CTO Commander Senek says:
CO: Temporal regulations being what they are, I doubt it's of any help to ask them what they are doing.

XO Commander Durron says:
@*CO* One would assume that we will send an assault shuttle to the planet shortly sir.

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
::checks the sensors and scans the planet::

XO Commander Durron says:
@::backs totally off the engines hoping to stop the spin::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*XO* I am not yet aware of such plan but I admit that I might think of something like that in the future.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@::still going true the logs to find information on the Aliens::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Pause USS Andromeda "The Gemini Entanglement" 10406.27
