Summary:
The USS Cataria proceeds at half-impulse, about to exit the nebula that has provided it shelter, with orders to jump to maximum warp for the border of Caeal space.

Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
::sitting on the bridge::
CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
::seated at the science station on the bridge:: XO: Nebula particle ppm will reach negligible point in roughly two minutes.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
FCO: Once we're clear of the nebula, let's try break the warp endurance record for an Intrepid class.
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
::standing at tactical, waiting for the action.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CSO: Can we get any good readings of what is outside the nebula?
CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
::checks the sensor self-tests then pauses to eat what looks like a candy bar.::  XO: Particle counts dropping now, sensors clearing.
SEC_Jeks says:
*XO*: Commander! Keatting just dematerialized!
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CTO: Shields up
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CSO: Find out where he went.
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
::Raises shields with a tap of a panel.:: XO: Aye, shields up.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
::bangs the arm of his chair in frustration::
CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
::nods slightly:: OPS: Check our transporter log, make sure we didn't beam him somewhere.  ::begins a sensor sweep for transporter activity in the immediate vicinity.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CTO: Is there anyone else out there?
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
XO: I have no vessels in sensor range, sir. He must've beamed to his hideout.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
All: I'm getting rather fed up of people beaming in and off this ship without us being able to figure out how or from where.
CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
::frowns:: XO: The transporter signal matches one from Redniy, sir...
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CSO: Should that mean something to me?
CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
XO: When the CMO and her children were captured.
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
Self: Blasted Keatting. ::Looks over her sensors once more.::
CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
::continues to check external scans for power sources or for Caeal signals.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CSO: Ah yes, good times.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CSO: How far to Redniy IV?
CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
XO: Roughly eighty-three light years sir.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CSO: Those odd particle emissions we picked up before, we're not detecting them right now are we?
CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
XO: No sign of any duderons sir.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CSO: And no Gehmohr sensor tech either to pick up the other kind.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CSO: Based on the power readings and what we learned before about their transporter technology, can you estimate how far he's gone?
CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
XO: No sir.  I do have evidence of a Caeal ship in the vicinity within the past hour.  I can make a scan for current ships, but I will need to power down all drives and shields.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CSO: For how long, I don't want to be a sitting duck out here
CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
XO: Last time it took slightly over a minute to do the scan.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CTO: Any reasons why it wouldn't be a good idea to do that now?
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
XO: I don't see any reason why not, Commander. We should be prepared to bug out in case we get guests, though.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CTO: Keep an eye out then. CSO: Make it quick.
CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
*Engineering* Standby to preform modified scan.
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
XO: I always do, sir. ::slaves her sensors and keeps the shields up.::
Engineering says:
*CSO*: Standing by!
CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
*Astrometrics* Zepix, we are going to perform the modified scan.  Forward the results to the bridge.
SO_SCPO_Zepix says:
*CSO* Understood.  Shifting feeds four through eighteen to bridge console.
CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
::nods:: *Engineering* Beginning scan.  ::triggers the modified scan::

ACTION:
Lighting and power systems throughout the Intrepid flicker as the intensive scan initiates.

CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
::Ignores the lighting as she watches for the incoming data feed::
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
::his eyes glance up at the flickering lights:: CSO: Just how much power does this scan use?

ACTION:
Lighting fades for a brief moment, as the 60 seconds stretch on. Consoles dim.

CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
::continues to look over the reports, she apparently doesn't hear the XO, or doesn't answer him:: XO: I'm showing two Caeal Ships at half light year distance on different courses.

ACTION:
The scans conclude, and power is restored to full functionality.

Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CSO: Any way to figure out which one he was beamed to? And what is their estimated courses
CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
::displays the scanned data on screen:: XO: Both are headed for Caeal space, one for the eastern edge one for the western edge, and no sir.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CSO: So it doesn't really change our original plan then.
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
XO: We're five minutes away from either at max warp, sir.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CTO: What type of ships are they?
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CTO: Or can we tell if there are any differences
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
XO: They were cloaked. They are small scout ships, one's a little larger, that one is the one from the Western edge. I have no real data on the ships, just their trails.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CTO: Well given their better tech, picking a fight would be unwise.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
All: We installed a subdermal probe on him, what is the range?
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
XO: That would be a wise assessment
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CSO: Can you pick up any transponder signals at 171Ghz? It should pulse every 60 seconds or so.
CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
XO: Negative
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
FCO: Plot a course, let's get within 0.01ly of each ship so we can see if we pick up the transponder signals
FCO_Jenson says:
XO: Aye sir, gonna buzz the smaller one first. ::plots in a course and engages towards the smaller ship::
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
::Keeps her eye on the movements and signals of weapons engagement or weapons lock from the mystery vessels.::

ACTION:
The Cataria jumps to max warp, coming with .008 light-years of the predicted location of the smaller scout vessel.

Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CSO: Let's listen out for 180 seconds and see if we can pick it up.
CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
::nods::

ACTION:
43 seconds in, the first ping of the transponder is heard.

CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
XO: We have a pin from the transponder sir.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CSO: Can we authenticate the signal?
CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
::feeds the signal to the computer and cleans up some of the background noise:: XO: Authenticated.

ACTION:
103 seconds in, a second ping is heard.

Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
FCO: Tail them please.
CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
XO: Second ping, beginning to triangulate course and speed.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CTO: Tactical options to retrieve Keatting? If any
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CSO: Anything showing up on conventional sensors?

ACTION:
163 seconds in...nothing is heard

CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
XO: Third ping not received.  It is possible that they are out of range.
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
XO: If we can get a lock, I can beam him back, but he'll probably be shielded. I have no other suggestion but to go and get him.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CSO: Or they know how we find them.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CSO: Can you shorten the scan time to 20 seconds?
CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
XO: Negative sir.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CTO: Anyone else about?
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
XO: No one else in range. We're a quarter ly from the trade route, sir.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CSO: Run the scan again
