Resume USS Andromeda "Counter-Espionage" 10808.31
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: Time has passed and the Andromeda is approximately 2 hours away from the Silverhawk's position
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The XO has docked with the Silverhawk safely
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CNS:  Any reports come in as to how repairs are coming along?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::looks up from where he'd returned a bit earlier:: CO: We're as patched up as we're gonna get until we can stop to do the external jobs.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::nods::  CNS:  Understood.  Perhaps Capt. Raptor can spare some personnel when we meet up with them.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: Full Impulse power restored to the Silverhawk
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CO: Aye, sir. Anything over warp 6.7 will not be good until we're done with the external repairs.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Contact on Andromeda's LRS
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CNS:  Well then Varesh, keep us at warp 6.7.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Since the Andromeda is two hours away the Silverhawk does not have the contact on her sensors
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
::Enters the Andromeda Bridge to get his orders from the Captain.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CO: Aye, sir. :looks down at the beeping:: Sir, contact on LRS.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
@::on silverhawk bridge::
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: sitting quietly on the bridge, going through telemetry::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::acknowledges Othello as he walks onto the bridge::  CNS:  Let's have it.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Contact is on the extreme range of sensors and is stationary
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CO: Its on extreme LRS range and not moving.
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
::Nods back to the CO and stands at his station.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CNS:  Can you identify?
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Subject vessel is warp capable of alien design, it appears to be 2000 meters in length and 200 meters high
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
TO:  I'll need a full tactical status.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Silverhawk phaser banks are now online
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::taps a few controls:: CO: Alien in design, 2000 meters in length and 200 meters high. Warp capabilities.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Velocity of Andromeda will remove the vessel from LRS in 1 minute since the vessel is stationary
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
::Calls up the tactical sensors to get a readout on the unknown vessel.::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Short range scan is necessary for more data
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CO: A minute more and its off sensors. Any more data we need to move in closer.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CNS:  Take us out of warp Varesh.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The vessel is generating a power signature
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
CO: I concur. Tactical readings are fuzzy at best, from this distance.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CMO:  Sierra, can you contact Lt. Power and the Silverhawk and see how far away they are from our position?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::drops the ship from warp::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The Andromeda secures from warp and emerges into normal space
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: reaches over and taps a comm button::  *XO*:  Lieutenant, how far away are you from our position?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::sets course for the ship, waiting for the order to go closer::
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
::Locks onto the ship and prepares to scan.::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
@*CMO* About 2 hours at warp six. Howver this ship isn't warp capable
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CNS:  Full stop.  Let's see if we can get more information on that ship out there.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Turns around to look at Ethan::  CO: At warp six, we will be there in two hours.  But that ship is not going far.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::overhears the XO::  CMO:  Let them know our situation and have them proceed to our location.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The ship is 3 LY from the Andromeda's current position at the edge of LRS
XO_Lt_Conor says:
@::Directing repairs to tactical systems and impulse engines::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: It is totally alien but appears to be very large
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
@ :: turns back around and quickly informs the first officer of their situation.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CO: Shall we move in, sir?
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::nods::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CNS:  Varesh, send whatever data we can get on that ship out there to my RR.  I'd like to see if it matches anything we might have on record.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::heads the ship closer to the alien vessel:: CO: Aye, sir. Running telemetry as we go.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::heads toward his RR::  CNS:  Varesh, you've got the bridge.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::mutters something under his breath:: CO: Aye, sir. ::gets up and goes to the Captain's chair.::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The Andromeda is moving in on the alien vessel
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Watching her husband, lifts a brow curiously.  He is not one to usually do research, not when others were around.::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
@*CNS* What is your current status?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*XO*: We're going closer to get some information. Captain's gone to his RR.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action:  The Andromeda is moving towards the alien vessel scanning
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
::Looks on the sensor readouts and the tactical readouts for any sign of danger.::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The vessel is now 2 lys away
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
aFCO: Drop us from warp when we're close enough for SRS.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
@*CNS* Drop a probe when you are close so we can keep an eye on it
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*XO*: Aye sir. Once we done that, we'll swing by to pick you up.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
TO: Commander, ready a probe.
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
CNS: Aye. ::Orders the computer to ready a probe into the  forward launcher.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
TO: Launch the probe, I don't want us too close.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: With things in hand on the bridge, quietly stands and makes her way to the lift.::
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
::Fires probe.:: CNS: Probe's away.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Orders the lift to deck two where she steps off and heads for her quarters.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
TO: Feed the readings to the Captain. ::looks at the aFCO:: aFCO: hold us back until we have telemetry.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The Andromeda moves to within 1/2 a LY and fires a probe...
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*XO*: Sir, we're waiting for telemetry.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: As the doors to her quarters slide open, she pauses to greet Aurora with a quiet word and pet and walks in to find things quiet.::
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
::Monitors the probe and checks to see if the probe is functioning and sending tellemetry.::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The alien vessel detects the probe and it heads off in the opposite direction at warp 4
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
::Programs the probe's readings to feed directly to the CO's RR display.::
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
CNS: I don't think they liked that move.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
TO: Did we get anything?
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The alien vessel has launched a missile!
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*XO*: Sir, the ship headed off at warp four the moment they detected the probe.
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
CNS: They've fired a missile. Launchin' counter measures.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
@*CNS* Set the probe to intercept
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Preliminary data suggests the vessel is heavily shielded but with little armament it appears to have warp 4 capability
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Probe destroyed
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
TO: Good work.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Vessel moving off at warp 4
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Quietly walking over to the children’s room, she finds the boys taking a nap and a quietly fussing daughter being rocked by Jewel::
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
CNS: Probe's been destroyed, sir.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*XO*: Shall we follow, or swing by to pick you up first?
XO_Lt_Conor says:
@*CNS* Pick up the silverhawk we might need the firepower
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Her eyes holding a smile, she reaches for Brianna and then nods her head toward the main living area.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*XO*: Aye, sir. ::looks over his shoulder:: TO: Send another probe to tail the ship. aFCO: Set course for the Silverhawk, warp 6.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
@::Has the crew direct power to the structural integrity field in preparation for towing::
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
::Readies and fires another probe.::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The Andromeda launches another probe and comes about to meet with the Silverhawk
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Five minutes pass, as the probe approaches the vessel, missile launch detected
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Takes a seat and turns to her friend::  SO: We never meant for you to become a nanny.  Your talents and abilities are needed in your research.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
<SO Jewel> :: shrugs::  CMO: I like the children.  Besides, with the way things are right now, there is little for me to really do... or I am needed to do.  Medical has the rest of the Silverhawk crew in hand and besides... :: shrugs::  I would rather be here at the moment.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Probe destroyed
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
x::sends a message to the Captain about the course of action taken, including the part about needing the Silverhawk for extra fire power::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Andromeda moving off at warp six leaving the vessel behind
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
::Grunts under his breath.:: CNS: They've taken that one out , too, sir.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
TO: Mark the vessel's course and speed - we'd catch up if it stays at warp 4.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Looks at the young woman who has traveled with her and Ethan since their days aboard the Huron.  Having Jewel had made things easier for them and she enjoyed having her friend around, but it was times like this she felt guilty about Jewel playing nanny instead of scientist::
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
CNS:Aye. ::Has the LRS keep track of the ship. ::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The Silverhawk is now 1 hr 45 minutes away the alien vessel is now at the edge of LRS
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
::Makes a note of the mystery ship's course and speed.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*XO*: Sir, I don't know how important this ship is, but shouldn't we be more worried about the Doomsday machine?
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: She simply nods her head, knowing to bring the situation up again would only make the young woman self conscious and uncomfortable.  Instead, she asks where the nanny is and how the day had been going.::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
@*CNS* Launch a class 10 probe and have it tail the doomsday machine at the edge of its sensor range should be safe enough
 
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Launch detection from the alien vessel, three objects on intercept course at warp 9
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: lightly rubbing a hand along Brianna's back, as well as in her mind comforting her, she soon has her daughter sound asleep.::
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
CNS: The aliens have launched somethin'. Three of them on an intercept course.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
TO: Can you tell what it is? And prepare for counter measures.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Standing carefully, she makes her way back to the children’s room and lays her daughter next to her twin brother::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Actioni: The incoming objects appear to be transmitting data on subspace channels
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Waiting a moment to make sure she remained asleep, she then goes back out to Jewel::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The devices slow down at 2 Lys distant and begin to trail the Andromeda
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
SO: I leave the situation in your hands.  When you are ready for a break, get the kids nanny.  Meanwhile, I will be down in medical.
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
CNS: Trying to determine what they are. They might be probes, as they are relaying subspace signals.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: With a nod, leaves and heads for the nearest lift to step in::  CPU:  Medical bay...
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Andromeda one hour away from Silverhawk
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*XO*: They just sent something after us to tail the ship. Probably what we were going to do. ::turns to Knight:: TO: Send a class X probe to tail the ship at 2ly.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Alien vessel now off main sensor grid
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
CNS: Aye. Fires the probe with programmed distance set.::
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
CNS: If they are probes, why send three? One  shoud suffice.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The Andromeda deploys another high level probe
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
TO: See if you can hack the subspace signals.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Forty-five minutes later, stands from her desk and stretches.::
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Pops her head out into the main area to verify everything is fine and then turns back to finishing up the last batch of files.::
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
CNS:  I'm no science officer, but I'll give it a go. ::Attempts to hack the subspace signals.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
TO: Get science department to help you.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
*CNS* What size is it?
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The alien probe subspace channels are encrypted it is difficult to break the code will take time
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::forwards the information to the XO::
