Host ACTD John Sea says:
Resume USS Andromeda "Timewalker" 10511.27

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::at the Andromeda bridge, sitting by the science station, monitoring LRS::

CO Captain Sketek says:
XO/CTO: We have received orders. We should meet Admiral Ocean at the station. He will probably tell us more about our new mission.

CO Captain Sketek says:
CSO: While we are with the Admiral, you have the bridge.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: Understood, Captain.

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Nods at the CO::

CO Captain Sketek says:
CTO: Beam us to Starbase to his meeting room.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Scene: The Andromeda is moored outside the Starbase, listing to port where the damage hull is

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Orders TR1 to beam himself, CO and XO into the Admiral's meeting room::

CTO Commander Senek says:
CO: Aye.

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
CO: Yes sir

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::looks over the centre chair and wonders if she should sit::

Host Admiral Ocean says:
Action: The away team arrives at the Admiral's Office which is a display of haphazard debris, wires hanging from the ceiling, overturned desks and lowlights, not much is working

XO Commander Z’heta says:
@::materializes and looks around::

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::looks from side to side as if anyone could jump and tell her she was doing something wrong, then moves forward leaving an SO in her chair::

CO Captain Sketek says:
@::Feeling the smell of burning materials, looking for the admiral::

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::arrives in the centre and sit:: Self: comfortable

Host Admiral Ocean says:
::looks up straightening a soot covered ripped uniform, veins bulging from his red face::

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::sits back looking at all the controls in the armchair::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
@::Looks at the Admiral:: CO: Sir, Admiral Ocean's here. ::takes his tricorder and scans::

CTO Commander Senek says:
@::Turns to the Admiral and waits for him to speak::

Host Admiral Ocean says:
All: I can barely contain my rage at the evildoers who have wrought this chaos upon my station ::shakes fists::, but lets be civilized

XO Commander Z’heta says:
@::seeing the Admiral is in no severe pain, puts away the tricorder and stands at attention::

CO Captain Sketek says:
@Admiral: We received the orders but we were caught by surprise and so far we have no idea where to start looking for the terrorists.

Host Admiral Ocean says:
All: You have been ordered by headquarters to bring the terrorists to justice ::hands the Captain a Padd:: This is an interstellar arrest warrant,  it is good in all Federation allied worlds, The Klingon Empire and perhaps a handful of neutral territories, if you locate the terrorists in non allied space you are empowered to capture them covert

XO Commander Z’heta says:
@Admiral: Their vessel has escaped our shuttle's attack, Sir.

Host Admiral Ocean says:
XO: I suggest you trace the impulse trail of the fighter before it goes cold, I know the Andromeda has suffered damage but I have no choice it will take weeks to drydock her

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::wonders if she should give some orders but then decides against it:

Host Admiral Ocean says:
<Yeoman> ::hands the CSO a fuel consumption report to sign::

CO Captain Sketek says:
@::Takes the PADD:: Admiral: Has there been any investigation so far?

CO Captain Sketek says:
@::Trying to look calm in the midst of destruction::

Host Admiral Ocean says:
CO: No, we are still recovering, Headquarters is sending marines and a local Klingon warship is in route to provide security

XO Commander Z’heta says:
@Admiral: at once, Sir.  
*CSO* Saprin, can you track the impulse trail of the fighter on our scans, please?

Host Admiral Ocean says:
CO: The blast was a bomb of sorts with highly advanced miniaturized antimatter, very advanced

CO Captain Sketek says:
@Admiral: Do you know how they avoided our sensors? Cloaking technology?

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::looks startled then regains her posture::*XO*Yes sir, I'll see to it personally

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::gets up and heads back to the science console. Quickly accesses sensors and looks for the trail::

CTO Commander Senek says:
@::Just listens to the conversation, hoping to get to work as soon as possible::

Host Admiral Ocean says:
CO: Initial sensor logs reveal that it was made of a metal unknown to Federation science, I would liken it to old Earth stealth bombers

XO Commander Z’heta says:
@*CSO* Then it is in good hands.  Z'heta out.

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
*XO*I have it sir, its still trackable but it leads beyond our sensor's range

Host Admiral Ocean says:
<Yeoman> ::standing politely by the Andromeda command chair with fuel report in hand::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
@*CSO* Understood.

CO Captain Sketek says:
@Admiral: I see. So it is not anyone we are used to dealing with.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
@Admiral/CO: Sir, the trail is beyond sensor range.  Perhaps we should get moving ASAP before the trail is untraceable.

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::looks up at the yeoman and hands the science console back to the SO::

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::goes to the bridge centre:: yeoman: Can I help you?

Host Admiral Ocean says:
CO: Definitely a new race of some sort, and definitely hostile ::motions around the destruction in the room:: We believe that Starbase 50 was intended to be destroyed in its entirety

CO Captain Sketek says:
@Admiral: Yes, that seems to have been their intention.

Host Admiral Ocean says:
<Yeoman> CSO: Fuel consumption report Ma'am , please sign here, here and here under "Officer of the Deck or Commanding Officer" ::offers pen::

CO Captain Sketek says:
@Admiral: Like the XO said, we should probably inspect the trail as soon as possible so unless there is something more you need to tell us, I request a permission to leave with Andromeda and the crew.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
@CTO: Senek, what information you gather from the debris?  Did the explosion and the attack on Andromeda come from the same type of weapon technology?

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::looks down frowning then back up at the yeoman, finally back down at the PADD. Takes the time to actually read it:: Self: never sign anything you ain't read

Host Admiral Ocean says:
CO: Their weapon of choice is interesting, nuclear missiles, taking into account the advanced fighter that is a out of date weapon

Host Admiral Ocean says:
::looks thoughtful::

CTO Commander Senek says:
@XO: All the information is in the Andromeda's sensor logs. I haven't had time for an analysis yet.

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
Self: alright fuel for the past month ...yes we had a slow month, mostly hanging around the celestial planet. And yes, fuel specifically for holodecks. that’s quite a lot! and yes ... ::goes on reading::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
@CTO: No problem, Commander.  Though I'd like you to take a look.  I'm curious to see if we're dealing with just one enemy or more...

CO Captain Sketek says:
@Admiral: Yes, it looks like it is out of place.

CTO Commander Senek says:
@Admiral: One possible explanation is that they're a small organization with only limited resources and they're just using the items they get their hands on.

Host Admiral Ocean says:
<Yeoman> ::waits for signature, resists temptation to blow bubble with bubblegum he is hiding in his mouth::

CTO Commander Senek says:
@XO: Naturally, sir.

Host Admiral Ocean says:
CTO: True, but the craft is made of metal we have never encountered before if that was scavenged we must know the source

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::pauses over one of the efficiency results and makes some calculations in her head looking at the viewscreen:: Self: is that...ah yes, that’s right ::goes on reading::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
@Self: Intriguing...

CTO Commander Senek says:
@Admiral: It might just be that they have far-reaching contacts. But even that makes them quite dangerous.

Host Admiral Ocean says:
<Yeoman> ::oh my goodness, I mean they told me Vulcans read everything but come on, how interesting is impulse hydrogen consumption, my last CO would sign it with his eyes closed::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
@::nods at the CTO's remark::

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::finally takes the pen to sign but then stops and checks something::

CO Captain Sketek says:
@::It a bit impatient and wanting to leave::

Host Admiral Ocean says:
All: I am concerned that this station was the target, since we are at the Orion border

Host Admiral Ocean says:
<Yeoman> ::begins to fidget::

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
Self: Ah yes that’s right ::signs the PADD where she should:: Yeoman: There you are Miss

Host Admiral Ocean says:
<Yeoman> CSO: Thank  you Ma'am 
::looks polite, enters Turbolift and blows bubble with an audible *pop* just as the doors close::

Host Admiral Ocean says:
All: You are dismissed, good luck

CTO Commander Senek says:
@::Salutes the Admiral, then orders the three officers to be beamed back to the Andromeda's bridge::

CO Captain Sketek says:
@::Nods at the Admiral::

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::looks back at the pop and makes a mental note to suggest to the CO to prohibit chewing anything on the bridge. It is just not Starfleet::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
@::makes his goodbyes and gets ready to be beamed back::

Host Admiral Ocean says:
Action: The away team returns to the bridge

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Materializes on the bridge::

CTO Commander Senek says:
CSO: Any results on the ion trail yet?

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::sees the beam in and gets up suddenly::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::goes back to the 1st officer's chair::  CSO: Did you enjoy having the bridge, Lieutenant?

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
CTO: Only what I told Commander Z’heta. I have their heading but not the final target. Its out of our range

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
XO: It was ... uneventful

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Nods at the CSO:: CSO: Understood. 
CO: I recommend we start following the trail immediately.

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Walks to the tactical console::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CSO: That's good news, I think.

CO Captain Sketek says:
CTO: Keep us at red alert status and take the helm.

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Stops and turns 180 degrees to get to the helm:: CO: Aye, sir.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: Captain, meanwhile, I can coordinate the repair efforts with the engineering crew, Sir?

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Sits down at the helm console and lays in a course following the ion trail::

CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: Yes, that is a good idea.

CO Captain Sketek says:
::Thinking... I sense something; a smell I've not felt since...::

CTO Commander Senek says:
XO: Our warp engines are unable to operate due to the hull damage we've taken. I think that should be the repair crews' first priority.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: Aye aye Sir.  ::stands up:: 
*EO_Repairmen* Please report on your progress.  ::goes to the TL::

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
CO/XO/CTO: Perhaps we can take a runabout

CO Captain Sketek says:
CTO: Use impulse for now.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CTO: Agreed.  I think our CEO was on that job too.

CTO Commander Senek says:
CO: Aye. ::Sets the ship on motion::

Host EO Gears says:
::looking at the hole near what used to be the docking ring not knowing where to begin::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
Computer: Deck 14.  *EO_Gears* I'm going to meet you.

CO Captain Sketek says:
CSO: I would like to avoid taking a shuttle to a long term mission but if we can't have warp back, then we must consider that option.

Host EO Gears says:
Action: The Andromeda leaves SB 50 far behind on main impulse following the trail

Host EO Gears says:
*XO* Yes, Sir

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::nods to the CO::CO: And remember the longer we take the less chance we have to catch them

Host EO Gears says:
::now that's just odd, I thought the hole was bigger::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::Leaves the TL and approaches the repair crew::  
EO_Gears: Do you have an ETA on the hull repairs?

CO Captain Sketek says:
CSO: Yes, I'm aware of that.

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::nods to the CO and goes back to her console::

Host EO Gears says:
*XO* I can't reseal the hull without drydock but I can patch it

XO Commander Z’heta says:
EO_Gears: No need to tap your commbadge, I'm right here.  Ok, let's do it then.  Just enough to secure a safe warp drive.  The hull containment fields can do the rest.

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
CO: I projected their course, it doesn't pass by any known planet

CO Captain Sketek says:
CSO: That's strange.

Host EO Gears says:
::ok now that’s just strange the hull hole was definitely larger::

CO Captain Sketek says:
CTO: What kind of propulsion did the attackers use? How long distances could they cover with such propulsion?

Host EO Gears says:
XO: The hole is sealing itself

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
CO: Perhaps there is a system or a base the Federation never detected before. Either that or they changed course mid way

XO Commander Z’heta says:
EO_Gears: Pardon? Are you sure?  Was there a repair team here before?

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::takes his tricorder and scans the hole::

Host EO Gears says:
XO: Um no, we actually don’t have enough duranium to seal it its just not possible

XO Commander Z’heta says:
EO_Gears: this is odd.  Do you have an explanation for this phenomenon?

Host EO Gears says:
Action: The hull seals itself completely

CTO Commander Senek says:
CO: It seems to me that there's nothing special in their engines. What we saw were ion engines, and theoretically they can reach any speed less than the speed of light.

Host EO Gears says:
Action: All systems are repaired to 100 %

CO Captain Sketek says:
CTO: But that means they couldn't travel interstellar distances all by themselves.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::looks amazed at the hull:: EO_Gears: I want you to scan this section of the hull and formulate a theory.

CTO Commander Senek says:
CO: Yes, unless they had somehow hidden a warp system from our sensors.

Host EO Gears says:
::looks at panel and sees the warp drives are online::

Host EO Gears says:
XO: Um Yes Sir

XO Commander Z’heta says:
*CO* Z'heta to the Bridge: Captain, I'm in deck 14 with EO Gears.  Sir...  the hull... sealed itself!

CO Captain Sketek says:
CTO: So they must have launched from somewhere.

CTO Commander Senek says:
CO: Agreed. But so far our sensors haven't found anything.

CO Captain Sketek says:
*XO* Excuse me? What is happening there?

XO Commander Z’heta says:
*CO* We still don't have an explanation, Sir.  Did the sensors detected some alien presence or energy of unknown origin?

CO Captain Sketek says:
CSO: Start long range sensor sweeps for warp capable ships and any trails from them.

CO Captain Sketek says:
CTO: Do our sensors have anything indicating alien presence or energy of unknown origin?

Host Admiral Starborne says:
Action: The Turbolift open and a lifesize nanite walks out with gears spinning and obvious benevolent glee, CO: Captain its been such a long time

CO Captain Sketek says:
::Turns around surprised::

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Doesn't think the CO's question needs an answer anymore::

Host Admiral Starborne says:
CO: Its been too long how have you been?

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::looks at the new arrival and blinks. then scans it with her tricorder::

CO Captain Sketek says:
::Can't get word out of his mouth: Starborne: Uh... fine...

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Does an internal scan of the ship to try to find out how much nanites there onboard::

Host Admiral Starborne says:
CO: Well its been a long time and I wish we didn’t have to meet under such circumstances I mean I was going to write but you know, … … <on and on the man likes to talk>

Host Admiral Starborne says:
CSO: Hey that tickles ::senses scan::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::looks at his PADD:: EO_Gears: I see you worked triple shifts since the attack on SB.  Leave someone in charge of ME and take rest, you well deserve it.  Oh and... thanks for a job well done.

CO Captain Sketek says:
Starborne: So, what brings you here at this moment?

Host Admiral Starborne says:
CO: There is a disruption in the time stream

CO Captain Sketek says:
Starborne: Tell me more about it.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::walks back to the TL:: Computer: Deck 1

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Stops counting the nanites, it'd never end::

Host Admiral Starborne says:
Pause "Timewalker" 10511.27
