Resume USS Andromeda "Counter Espionage" 10810.12
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: We rejoin our heroes and heroine in the clutches of a vile micro black hole !!!!!
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Short Range Sensors indicate the Black Hole is 5 km in diameter rotating on a vertical axis of 7 km
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: In medical, preparing for incoming::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The tractor beam to the Silverhawk is flickering!
XO_Lt_Conor says:
CNS: Redirect all power to engines and the tractor beam
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
XO: Sir, if we don't get out soon, we'll be past the event horizon and that's not good. :: redirects power:: All power to non-essential systems rerouted, sir.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::checks sensors:: XO: Its 5km across and has a vertical axis of 7km.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The Andromeda strains mightily against the pull of the swirling maelstroms spinning maw!
XO_Lt_Conor says:
CNS: Try generate a warp bubble to cover us and the Silverhawk
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
XO: Aye, sir. ::does that and takes the ship to warp::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
XO: Warp one, and we have the Silverhawk with us.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The Andromeda succeeds in achieving Warp One and enters warp space with the Silverhawk barely in tow!
XO_Lt_Conor says:
CNS: Excellent, take us out of warp once we're far enough away from that
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: glances illogically up at the ceiling as if she could see what was happening on the bridge.   She would check through her bond with her husband, but given his headaches, she did not want to disturb him.::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: SRS begin to detect a surge in neutrino and tachyon particles
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
XO: Aye, sir.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::glances at the readouts:: XO: Another surge in neutrinos and tachyons, sir.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
CNS: How much of a surge?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
XO: Can't tell yet, sir. Its just starting. I think we should pull away some more, just to be safe.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::thinks a moment:: XO: Sir, we might need the CMO up here, this is her kind of thing.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Soon a few enter medical with minor wounds which her staff treates quickly.::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
CNS: I agree on both ideas, get us back to a known safe location
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Scout class survey vessel decloaking near the event horizon of the black hole
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::mutters something to the computer before reporting:: XO: Sir, the surge is one part in two... a very large concentration.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::blinks and frowns, punching a button or two before putting it on screen without being asked.:: XO: Sir, a vessel decloaking on the event horizon. Looks like a scout ship. Unknown configuration.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
CNS: Deploy a probe and take us at least a light-year away from this area
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Vessel seems to be following a definite course along the edge of the event horizon, almost as if it were following a corridor
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
XO: Aye, sir... but the vessel there is making strange course corrections, like they are following a path. They haven't seen us - too much interference and distortions.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::brings up a star chart and beings plotting the locations of the tachyon and neutrinos and using the computer to see if there is a pattern::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
CNS: How much of a risk we're about to be crushed by a blackhole staying here?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
XO: We're out of the danger area of being pulled in. The surge of neutrinos and tachyons could have been the ship decloaking too.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The star chart indicates that the pattern source of the surges is a point approximately 2 km from the event horizon of the black hole if you weren’t looking specifically for it you would miss it
XO_Lt_Conor says:
CNS: Keep sensors locked on that ship and track its exact course
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Micro-Wormhole Detected!
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
XO: Aye, sir. ::makes sure they have the exact course of the ship on the event horizon::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Survey vessel on main impulse enters micro wormhole and vanishes
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::Frowns:: XO: Sir, there's a micro wormhole that formed just where the ship was, and now its gone. The ship just went through the wormhole... the math is almost too perfect for this to be natural.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Andromeda sensors have plotted the corridor
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::checks the sensor readings and runs a quick simulation to see if they will get the Andromeda and Silverhawk through::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
XO: Sir, we can get both ships through that corridor. Seems the gravitational forces doesn't exist in that area. It will just take a lot of concentration to get us through.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
CNS: How sure are you of your calculations?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
XO: The simulation looks favourable. ::thinks:: I'm wondering if the black hole doesn't power the wormhole... which means there should be another one at the other end?
XO_Lt_Conor says:
CNS: Take us in then
XO_Lt_Conor says:
CNS: Half impulse
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
XO: Aye sir. ::plots the course the other ship had taken and slowly takes the ship in at half impulse, carefully staying inside the corridor.::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The Andromeda and the Silverhawk nose over and enter the corridor, it is serene and quiet here on the edge of the event horizon, there are no sheering forces at work almost in the wake of a stream
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::makes sure the sensor arrays are noting everything for later study:: XO: The scientists are going to love us for this information.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The wake of the corridor carries the Ambassador and Excelsior refit class into the maw of the micro worm hole....the Federation starships leave this quadrant of the galaxy and enter the wormhole
XO_Lt_Conor says:
CNS: Sure are
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
XO: Entering the wormhole now, sir.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Looks up as she realizes something is wrong.::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: A creature enters the bridge constructed in an elegant patchwork of gears , he seems to be smoking a pipe which instead of smoke is wafting numbers into the air
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::pays too much attention to navigating the ship through the wormhole to notice anything right then::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The XO sees numbers floating over his shoulder as he is sitting in the command chair
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::looks around and sees a creature on board::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
Admiral_Starborne: Can you explain why you are on my bridge
Host Admiral_Starborne says:
*puff* X+33 -37+34  (puff)
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::hears the XO talk, looks over his shoulder and has to do a double take at the lifeform standing there:: XO: Uhm... sir?
Host Admiral_Starborne says:
XO: (puff) Thought you might need some help with that wrecked tub you are towing and maybe some information but maybe I was wrong and....
XO_Lt_Conor says:
Admiral_Starborne: I'm listening, just didn't expect to run into you
Host Admiral_Starborne says:
XO: Welcome to my side of the galaxy or neighborhood, welcome to the Gamma quadrant
Host Admiral_Starborne says:
Action: The Andromeda emerges into the Gamma Quadrant
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::Checks the star charts, such as it is of the Gamma Quadrant to confirm::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
Admiral_Starborne: So that’s where we are now
Host Admiral_Starborne says:
XO: 8 * 78 + 78 (puff) Long time no see what no hug for me?
XO_Lt_Conor says:
Admiral_Starborne: Maybe later
Host Admiral_Starborne says:
