Host CO_Morgan says:
::sitting in the command chair of the Thomas, watching as preparations to head through the wormhole are completed::

CTO_Matt says:
::stands on the Thomas's bridge and goes over his security measure::

MO_Calahan says:
::walks into the Thomas' sickbay, after checking over medical equipment...is reading a PADD::

CNS_Savar says:
::Sitting in the Counselor's chair of the Thomas, enjoying a small break::

CEO_McDuggle says:
::is in ME going over last minute preparations::

SO_Washudoin says:
:: Sitting in his "spot" on Thomas's bridge preparing scans::

CMO_Utoo says:
::is in the TL on his way to the Thomas' sickbay::

Host CO_Morgan says:
ALL:  All station report.

CTO_Matt says:
CO:  Sir, with the briefing I received from you, could we modify a shuttle to traverse the wormhole first, kind of have it acting like a sensor buffer?

CTO_Matt says:
CO:  Sir, security and tactical ready.

CEO_McDuggle says:
*CO*ME at 110% sir

CMO_Utoo says:
::Walks off of the Turbo lift and down the hallway into sickbay::

Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO:  A good idea, but the brain trust at SFC seems to think that a shuttle won't stand up to the stresses of the transit.

MO_Calahan says:
*CO* Sir, Sickbay is prepared to handle casualties.

SO_Washudoin says:
CO: Sir, everything's  ready to go here sir.

CMO_Utoo says:
::Sees Keely:: MO: Well hello....I see someone's had an interesting time ::Looks at the sling::

CTO_Matt says:
CO:  Sir, why can't we modify the shuttle, make the SIF and shields stronger.  Kind of  make it a flying sensor/shield barge?

MO_Calahan says:
CMO: Oh....um.....yes, you could say that. ::looks slightly uncomfortable..::

Host CO_Morgan says:
ALL:  All stations standby for wormhole transit. Mr. Ahab, prepare to take us through.  Full impulse on my mark.

Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO:  Maybe next trip, right now I've got a dozen Admirals breathing down my neck for results.

CMO_Utoo says:
MO: Oh well...::Shrugs:: Aren't you excited about the idea that we can encounter new races?

MO_Calahan says:
CMO: How about you....was your vacation nice?

CTO_Matt says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.

Host CO_Morgan says:
<FCO_Ahab> CO:  Aye, sir.  Course laid in waiting for your mark.

CTO_Matt says:
::sets sensors to 120% to try and get some reading from the other side before we get there::

Host CO_Morgan says:
FCO:  Take us through.

CMO_Utoo says:
MO: It was alright...I'll have to tell you about it some time ::Not really paying attn::

MO_Calahan says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CMO: I suppose....

XO_Claymore says:
::steps out of the Turbolift and onto the Bridge::

Host CO_Morgan says:
<FCO_Ahab> ::with some trepidation:: CO:  Aye sir engaging.

MO_Calahan says:
::nods, and walks to the lab, to check over the extra drugs they brought aboard::

CEO_McDuggle says:
::checks shield strength and adjust more power to them::

SO_Washudoin says:
:: Braces self ::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The Arcadia Wormhole opens up at the Thomas' approach.

XO_Claymore says:
::walks over to the XO's chair and takes a seat... waiting for someone to speak to him::

CMO_Utoo says:
::Taps the wormhole opening on the console:: Keely: Check out this....

Host CO_Morgan says:
ALL:  Hang on, here we go...

SO_Washudoin says:
:: Thoughts of Kesh enter mind when seeing wormhole open ::

MO_Calahan says:
::walks over to Utoo:: CMO: That's very.....intriguing...::stands watching it....::

XO_Claymore says:
::holds onto the chair::

Host CO_Morgan says:
::looks over at the XO:: XO:  Nice of you to join us, Mr. Claymore.

CMO_Utoo says:
Self: Here's hoping

CTO_Matt says:
::braces self for the entry into the wormhole::

MO_Calahan says:
::holds onto the console with her good arm::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The USS Thomas enters the wormhole.  There is no reaction from the wormhole.  In the blink of an eye, Thomas is through.

XO_Claymore says:
CO: A small problem with the turbo shaft near my quarters

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The wormhole closes behind the Thomas.  All systems normal.

Host CO_Morgan says:
All:  Report...are we through?

CTO_Matt says:
::blinks his eyes and sees the other side of the wormhole and does a sensor sweep, trying to see where we ended up::

Host CO_Morgan says:
SO:  Get astrometrics to get a navigational fix.  Where are we?

CEO_McDuggle says:
*CO* All systems here are good

SO_Washudoin says:
:: Starts LRS and astrometrics scans :: CO: Underway Sir.

XO_Claymore says:
::accesses console and checks secondary systems:: CO: So far so good, looks like we went to a lot of preparation for nothing

CTO_Matt says:
CO:  All systems running normally here, Sir.

Host CO_Morgan says:
XO:  Better safe than sorry...though I really wonder now, what happened to those probes...

Host AGMDave says:
SCENERY: The space around Thomas is bleak.  There are few stars, and none within two days at warp 7.  The sensors are otherwise clear.

CTO_Matt says:
CO:  Sir, there are a few stars within 2 days travel at Warp 7.

Host CO_Morgan says:
XO:  Not much out here, eh?

MO_Calahan says:
::rubs her left shoulder with her right hand, wincing slightly::

XO_Claymore says:
CO: not that I can see, I'm attempting to contact the probes see if it wasn't interference through the wormhole

CNS_Savar says:
::Turns to the SO:: SO: Were we scanning as we went through the wormhole?

CMO_Utoo says:
MO: Would you like me to take a look at that?

CTO_Matt says:
CO:  Sir, could this wormhole have taken us to another galaxy?

SO_Washudoin says:
CO: Sir, this area of space is not on our star charts

SO_Washudoin says:
CO: Just minor scans Sir.

Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO/SO:  Continue sensor sweeps, collect as much data as possible.  Helm set a course...oh...that way...298 mark 0, full impulse.

XO_Claymore says:
CNS: no response from the probes, perhaps we should look for an ion trail while we are here

MO_Calahan says:
::shrugs, them grimaces, regretting that movement.....:: CMO: That's okay....if you want to. I tore muscle tissue, and although I can use my arm, I'm not suppose to. ::sighs::

CTO_Matt says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::continues sensor sweeps, trying to collect as much data as possible::  Sir, could we send out some probes to have our scanning radius enlarged?

Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO:  I have absolutely no idea.  Astrophysics was never my strong point.  Maintain alert status for the duration of the mission.

CTO_Matt says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.

CMO_Utoo says:
MO: well lets see what I can do...

CEO_McDuggle says:
::continues checking sensors and power systems::

CNS_Savar says:
SO: Any data come in?  I'd like to see it when this mission is over.

SO_Washudoin says:
:: Continues scans, recording all of anything there is::

Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO:  Good idea. Maybe we can figure out what happened to the other ones.  Coordinate with science and launch when ready.

SO_Washudoin says:
CNS: None as of yet

Host CO_Morgan says:
SO:  Do we have a firm fix on the wormhole location?

CMO_Utoo says:
::Pulls out his tricorder and scans her shoulder::

XO_Claymore says:
::looks at scans of the area:: Self: 25 light-years out and all is well

SO_Washudoin says:
CO: Yes Sir.

CTO_Matt says:
SO:  prepare 5 class 9 probes.

Host CO_Morgan says:
XO:  Well I guess we can now safely say that Arcadia IX is not on this side of the wormhole.

XO_Claymore says:
CO: well, that leaves two possibilities, 1) Arcadia IX is the wormhole now, 2) whoever made the wormhole decided they wanted the planet as well

CEO_McDuggle says:
*SO* are your sensors reading the same as mine. I'm not even picking up any meteor dust

CMO_Utoo says:
Self: Hmmm...::Takes out a regenerator and runs it over her shoulder::

SO_Washudoin says:
CTO: Understood :: Prepares probes::

Host CO_Morgan says:
SO:  Any unusual gravity readings, something on the order of say...having a planet pass this way?

CTO_Matt says:
::sets the course for each probe towards each of the closest stars and launches them::

SO_Washudoin says:
*CEO* Yup only space.

CEO_McDuggle says:
*SO* good I thought my sensors had went on the fritz

SO_Washudoin says:
CNS: There were some unusual chronoton and nuetrino emissions and wormhole stuff.

CMO_Utoo says:
MO: That should do it...::Runs a few scans:: Hello...how did you get all these injuries? Looks like you called a klingon's mother ugly...::Smiles:: Want me to take care of these?

Host CO_Morgan says:
XO:  Check the databases on wormhole transits.  I don't know about you, but really seemed to be one quick trip.

XO_Claymore says:
CO: should I page the doctor to see if he has had any unusual patients?

SO_Washudoin says:
CO: Nothing as of yet Sir.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: A class three comet appears on LRS.  It is passing at a leisurely pace.

XO_Claymore says:
::nods and pulls up his console into a more user friendly position::

CTO_Matt says:
::monitors the sensors from the probes as they move on their course::

Host CO_Morgan says:
XO: Go ahead.

CTO_Matt says:
CO:  Sir, I'm detecting a class 3 comet on LRS.

Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO:  Gee, something to actually scan.  Well by all means, scan.

CTO_Matt says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::scans the comet::

MO_Calahan says:
::eyes widen slightly, and she bites her lip........:: CMO: That's okay.....I.......you don't need to....::Starts to slide off the biobed::

XO_Claymore says:
::continues researching astrophysics data on wormholes and presses the comm button:: *CMO*: Doctor, anything to report on our galactic stroll?

SO_Washudoin says:
:: Notices the comet and scans the only thing there::

CTO_Matt says:
CO:  Sir, this comet is not known to our databases.

CNS_Savar says:
::Changes position in chair::

XO_Claymore says:
::thinks a minute:: CO: Sir, I thought comets had to orbit stars.

MO_Calahan says:
::shrinks away as the CMO gets the comm from the XO::

Host CO_Morgan says:
XO:  It would be nice to correlate our position to some known location...

SO_Washudoin says:
*CEO* Look a comet, there is something.

CEO_McDuggle says:
::feels uneasy and makes a check on weapon systems::

MO_Calahan says:
::thinks: sheesh....that was close.....hm....::

SO_Washudoin says:
:: Keeps scanning at full strength ::

CEO_McDuggle says:
*SO* yes I see it

CMO_Utoo says:
*XO* Everything down here is fine..

Host CO_Morgan says:
XO:  They do, no telling how eccentric the orbit could be though.  Heck for all I know it could be orbiting the wormholes gravity well, or whatever was here before the wormhole...

XO_Claymore says:
*CMO*: Thank you doctor.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The closest star to the Thomas seems to move slightly.  Unnoticeable by all but the most trained eye.

CEO_McDuggle says:
::checks sensor reading on a star that seemed to be in a different spot a moment ago::

XO_Claymore says:
CO: Nothing unusual in Sickbay, unless being on a ship that has no idea where it is counts ::small grin:: as usual the scans from inside the wormhole don't tell us anything about the outside

SO_Washudoin says:
:: Keeps recording all the scans to the computer::

Host CO_Morgan says:
XO:  What is our current elapsed time on this side?

CEO_McDuggle says:
*SO* You want to check the sensor reading on the star closest to the Thomas

CTO_Matt says:
::continues to look at the sensor readings, trying to find anything out of the ordinary, trying to get his keen eye on anything funny::

XO_Claymore says:
CO: by the computer's count we have been here for 40 minutes

CNS_Savar says:
::Stands and walks around the bridge, just watching::

SO_Washudoin says:
*CEO*  Sure thing. :: checks the readings::

MO_Calahan says:
::sits in the chair in the office, drinking a cappuccino and relaxing::

CNS_Savar says:
::Stops to glance over at an Aux. SCI monitor::

CMO_Utoo says:
::Looks around and wonders when Keely disappeared:: Self: Oh well ::Shrugs and brings up sensor data  and other information on the surrounding area...::

XO_Claymore says:
CO: Sir, if we were to take a reading of the background radiation we might be able to get a fix on our current location... as long as we are in an area that has been previously mapped with a radiographic telescope

Host CO_Morgan says:
SO:  Has astrometrics been able to get a navigational fix on our position relative to Federation space yet?

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The aforementioned star moves again, this time a greater distance and much more noticeable.

Host CO_Morgan says:
XO:  Worth a try...coordinate with Science on it.

CTO_Matt says:
CO:  Ah, Sir, that star just moved.

CTO_Matt says:
::puts the questioned star on main viewer::

Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO: What?

XO_Claymore says:
::looks at the screen:: CTO: Any navigational obstructions in the way?

Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO: Spatial distortion?

SO_Washudoin says:
CO: Nothing as oh yet Sir, but I'm still checking.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: Radiation levels all over the ship rise slightly.

CEO_McDuggle says:
::checks sensors reading on star and compares them with last reading::

MO_Calahan says:
::continues checking over stuff on the PADD she's holding::

CTO_Matt says:
CO/XO:  Sirs, that star moved about 6 AUs.

CEO_McDuggle says:
*CO* sir we have had a slight raise in radiation levels aboard the ship

CTO_Matt says:
CO/XO:  and it seemed to have moved very fast, like at warp 5 or so.

XO_Claymore says:
::walks over to the Science station:: SO: access communications and set the receiving frequency to 1420 megahertz at 21cm wavelength

Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO: 6 AUs, I'm not sure it qualifies as a star if its going to move around like that.  Concentrate scans on that sector.

MO_Calahan says:
::hears the computer beep, and jumps up, to check it out::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The star moves again, now at a steady warp 6.  It is no longer a star.

SO_Washudoin says:
:: Checking the records and notices the sun move 6 AUs:: *CEO*/XO This is interesting the star seemed to move.

Host CO_Morgan says:
*CEO*:  Dangerous Chief?

CMO_Utoo says:
::A minor medical alarm goes off:: Self: Interesting ::Taps his commbadge:: *CO* The radiation levels in sickbay went up a bit

CTO_Matt says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::concentrates scans::  Sir, it isn't a star no longer.  and it is steadily moving at warp 6 now.

SO_Washudoin says:
XO: Yes Sir

MO_Calahan says:
::walks out, cappuccino in hand, and walks to the main console, running scans.....::

CEO_McDuggle says:
*CO* not as of yet sir but I will keep an eye on it

Host CO_Morgan says:
*CMO*:  Apparently they have over the entire ship.  Please monitor and keep me informed Doctor.

Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO:  Heading?

CTO_Matt says:
CO:  and it is heading right for us.

XO_Claymore says:
SO: hold on a second, CO: Sir, I think we might have overstayed our hour visit

Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO:  ETA?

CTO_Matt says:
CO:  my scans register it as a vessel, about the size of Sol's Jupiter.

Host CO_Morgan says:
XO:  I agree.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The vessel increases its speed to warp 9

SO_Washudoin says:
:: Notices the star heading for the Thomas::

Host CO_Morgan says:
FCO:  Prepare to bring us about and take us back through the wormhole on my order.

Host CO_Morgan says:
<FCO_Ahab> CO: Aye sir coming about.

CTO_Matt says:
CO:  Sir, it is now moving at warp 9 towards us.  ETA is 30 minutes.

SO_Washudoin says:
:: Scans the vessel ::

Host CO_Morgan says:
FCO:  Maintain station keeping 10,000km off the wormhole, and standby to take us back through at max. impulse.

CNS_Savar says:
CO: Recommend going back through the wormhole.  If I recall, Starfleet was adamant about the hour restriction

CMO_Utoo says:
MO: Can you give me a hand...the radiation levels went up a bit and to be on the safe side I want to make sure we have lots of Hyronalin

MO_Calahan says:
::nods, placing her cappuccino on the console.....:: CMO: Be glad to.

CMO_Utoo says:
::Stands up and walks towards the storage area::

Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO:  ETA of unknown...vessel?

MO_Calahan says:
::walks behind the doctor::

CTO_Matt says:
CO:  About 25 minutes Sir.

Host CO_Morgan says:
CNS:  We have a few minutes left...not getting nervous are you counselor?

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: Thomas' communications system lights up as though receiving a transmission, but no data appears.

CNS_Savar says:
CO: Being nervous is illogical, sir

CTO_Matt says:
CO:  Sir, we are getting some kind of communication, but, nothing is there.

CNS_Savar says:
CTO: A frequency we can't detect?

Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO:  Source of the transmission?

CMO_Utoo says:
::Opens the door to the inventory room and looks over the supplies::

CTO_Matt says:
CO:  Sir, it is coming from the unknown vessel.

MO_Calahan says:
::hears an alarm sounding, and is contacted by a nurse::

CTO_Matt says:
CNS:  I'm not sure.  it possibly could be.

MO_Calahan says:
CMO: I'm going to go look. ::walks back to main sb::

CEO_McDuggle says:
*CMO* doc I'm reading a small amount of theta radiation on the ship

XO_Claymore says:
::moves back to his chair not waiting to be caught standing when something might happen::

Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO:  Run it through all known algorithms.  Anything you can think of, heck try simafour.

SO_Washudoin says:
:: Keeps scanning the ship and notices it is large in size:: CO: The vessel is emitting small amounts of theta radiation and displaying no forms of weaponry as we know.

MO_Calahan says:
::brings up readings on the main console...there definitely. is radiation, and the levels have risen again...::

SO_Washudoin says:
:: Keeps scanning::

Host CO_Morgan says:
SO: Is the radiation from the propulsion system?

CTO_Matt says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::starts running the transmission through everything known, even trying to run it through old earth and other known cultural forms of transmission::

XO_Claymore says:
CO: sir do you recognize that

CMO_Utoo says:
*CEO* There is radiation coming from somewhere, but the levels are low and we're keeping an eye on it...

Host CO_Morgan says:
XO:  Guess they just kind of run with one blueprint around here, huh?

SO_Washudoin says:
CO: Yes Sir it is.

CTO_Matt says:
CO:  Sir, should we try to send a communication to it?

CEO_McDuggle says:
*CMO* roger doc just wanted to keep you informed

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The ship slows to sublight speeds.  The transmission is now recognizable as a hail.

Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO:  Open hails.  All known forms of communication.

CMO_Utoo says:
*CEO* Thank you

CTO_Matt says:
CO:  Sir, we are getting a transmission from the ship now.  It is a hail.

MO_Calahan says:
CMO: At least we have enough Hyronalin.

SO_Washudoin says:
CO: Sir it looks very similar to the ship that crashed into Arcadia 4

XO_Claymore says:
CO: there are many species like that

Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO:  Put it thorough, Mister Loran.

CTO_Matt says:
::puts the hail up on the screen::

Host Large_Alien_Ship says:
COMM: Thomas: Unknown vessel.  Identify yourselves.

Host CO_Morgan says:
COMM: Large_Alien_Ship:  This is Capt., Jeffrey Morgan of the Federation vessel Thomas.  We are on a peaceful exploration mission.  We mean you no harm.

MO_Calahan says:
::takes another drink of her cappuccino::

CMO_Utoo says:
::Nods to the MO:: MO: yes....I hate not being prepared...I feel much better now...::Returns to the sensor data on his console:: Self: Another ship? ::Patches the viewscreen to another unused console::

CNS_Savar says:
::sits back down in Counselor's chair, waiting for a response::

XO_Claymore says:
::always feels uneasy during first contact::

CMO_Utoo says:
::Not seeing anything switches it to audio::

Host CO_Morgan says:
CNS:  Getting any impressions?

CNS_Savar says:
CO: none, sir

Host Large_Alien_Ship says:
COMM: Thomas: Federation?  What is Federation?  We are the [untranslatable] Galactic Vessel [untranslatable].  We arrive to investigate you.

CTO_Matt says:
::remembers reading logs about that vessel that crashed into Arcadia 4.  It seemed to have gotten bigger.  Maybe it has been eating its wheaties::

Host CO_Morgan says:
COMM: LAS:  The Federation is a group of worlds on the far side of the wormhole behind this vessel.  We are merely seeking to find out what lies on the other side of it.

Host CO_Morgan says:
SO:  Get the computer working on that last transmission and find out what they are saying.

SO_Washudoin says:
SO: Acknowledged. :: starts trying to piece together the message::

Host Large_Alien_Ship says:
COMM: Thomas: Interesting.  Our race encompasses this entire galaxy.  Do you do the same?

XO_Claymore says:
::below comm reception:: CO: I've got the first contact database ready to transfer, Prime Directive restrictions are ready

CTO_Matt says:
::kind of thought this might be another galaxy::

SO_Washudoin says:
CO: This could take a while to piece together Sir.

Host CO_Morgan says:
COMM: LAS:  We currently occupy a quadrant of our galaxy.  ::hopes he isn't about to start the next invasion of the alpha quadrant::
