<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<RESUME MISSION>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

OPS_Janarn says:
::manning the OPS station behind and to the left of the Captain, information streaming across my terminal::

CTO_Loran says:
::continues to study his sensor readings of the quantum filaments and what destroyed those planets::

CNS_Savar says:
::In Science Lab, correlating more data... There's so much data, and the computer needs some time, so Savar leaves the lab::

Host CO_Morgan says:
::watching the view screen and the telemetry on the sensor data coming in from the system::

XO_Claymore says:
::sitting in the XO's chair:: CO: Those filaments don't look to friendly perhaps we should back out of the system and keep our distance

CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Monitoring sensors, studying the quantum filaments ::

CEO_McDuggle says:
::starts analyzing the quantum filaments::

MO_Calahan says:
::continues rubbing her shoulder gently......ouch.....::

CMO_Utoo says:
::Is sitting in his office relaxing...one of the benefits of being a doctor....unless things got bad...you didn't have anything to do::

OPS_Janarn says:
CO: Entering a new system now, sir.

CNS_Savar says:
::Walks through the Thomas:: Computer, where is Doctor Calahan?

OPS_Janarn says:
CO: Continuing to route power to the sensor arrays.

Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO/CSO:  Gentlemen, I need answers.  Where did those filaments come from and do they pose a danger to the ship.

MO_Calahan says:
::sits gingerly in her chair, her head lying on the desk, still rubbing the sore spot on her back and shoulder.....::

CSO_Washudoin says:
CO: Checking now Sir.

CTO_Loran says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.

CNS_Savar says:
<Computer> Doctor Calahan is in Sickbay.  ::Heads for Sickbay::

Host CO_Morgan says:
FCO:  Hold our position at the edge of the system.

XO_Claymore says:
::stands and moves over to a secondary science station::

Host CO_Morgan says:
<FCO_Ahab>CO:  Aye sir.  Coming out of warp at the edge of the system, and maintaining station.  ::taps a few controls to trim the ships attitude::

CNS_Savar says:
::Rides TL up two decks, and walks into Sickbay, looking around for Keely::

MO_Calahan says:
::continues rubbing her shoulder....stupid Klingon daggers........leaves her head on the table::

CSO_Washudoin says:
CO: Sir the fissures don't seem to pose to much of danger as long as we don't get too close.

XO_Claymore says:
::looks for any secondary phenomena::

CNS_Savar says:
::Walks towards her office, figuring it's the most logical place for her, triggering the door alarm::

OPS_Janarn says:
FCO Ahab: Sir, please be careful near the quantum fissures.  They're already causing some slight wavers in power distribution.  Keep as clear of them as possible.

Host CO_Morgan says:
CSO:  Thank you Lt.  Continue to monitor.

CEO_McDuggle says:
:: continues to analyze the fissures and checks reading on the comm platform::

CSO_Washudoin says:
CO: Acknowledged. :: Continues::

MO_Calahan says:
::jumps, then grimaces in pain...ouch.....decides to leave her head on the desk- no energy to pick it up:: Door: Enter.

CTO_Loran says:
CO:  Sir, it looks like the quantum fissures were caused by quantum explosions, possibly from torpedoes or bombs.

CNS_Savar says:
::Walks through the door:: MO: Good day, Doctor.

Host CO_Morgan says:
<FCO_Ahab>::Gives OPS a "I've been piloting a starship since before you were born and I think I know how to do my job" look, but contents himself to a crisp:: OPS:  Aye, sir.

MO_Calahan says:
::rolls her eyes at the voice......great......lifts her head slowly, still rubbing her shoulder/back:: Savar: I figured I would be seeing you.....what can I do for you Savar?

CNS_Savar says:
MO: Not much, to be honest.  I'm performing what you might call a follow-up visit from our trip to Vulcan and Qo'nos.  How are things?

Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO:  Any weapons residuals?

XO_Claymore says:
CO: Sir, I back tracked the fissures orbit, they do cross the planets

CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Scans the surroundings and continues to study the fissures::

MO_Calahan says:
::rolls eyes and motions for him to sit::

CEO_McDuggle says:
:: sees that the fissures move in a slow orbit and sends the information to the FCO's console::

CNS_Savar says:
::Sits down::

XO_Claymore says:
CO: or rather, the former planets

MO_Calahan says:
Savar: Have a couple hours? ::smirks::

CNS_Savar says:
MO: I have enough time.

Host CO_Morgan says:
XO:  Or they mark the spots that planets used to orbit.

MO_Calahan says:
::laughs:: Savar: That was the answer counselor.

CEO_McDuggle says:
CO: sir I'm picking up anti-proton weaponry also

XO_Claymore says:
CO: we still can't tell if they are natural or artificial... unfortunate

OPS_Janarn says:
CEO: Chief, can you boost more power to the sensors?  And stabilize them?  The fissures are creating small problems.

MO_Calahan says:
:: sighs.....her voice growing softer:: Savar: It is unlikely I can ever go back to gymnastics in any form.  My shoulder and back are severely messed up.....to put it mildly.....

XO_Claymore says:
::moves back over to his chair and takes a seat reviewing information::

CNS_Savar says:
MO: And mentally?

MO_Calahan says:
::Raises an eyebrow::

CMO_Utoo says:
::Sips at his coffee:: Self: Its cold...::replaces it in the replicator::

CEO_McDuggle says:
OPS I see what I can do :: reroutes power from empty cargo bays to sensors::

OPS_Janarn says:
CSO: I'm routing all my sensor data to you, sir.  Maybe you can make heads or tails of it.

CNS_Savar says:
::The Science Lab completes basic correlation and sends a report to the CSO's console.. indications are quantum torpedoes detonation in three planets::

Host CO_Morgan says:
::nods in response to McDuggles report:: XO:  I would tend to think them to be very unnatural.  Especially considering the other system we found.

MO_Calahan says:
Savar: What do u mean by that?

CTO_Loran says:
CO:  Sir, anti-proton weaponry was used mostly, but, on at least 3 planets, large yield quantum energy weapons, like torpedoes, was inserted into the center of those planets and detonated.

Host CO_Morgan says:
CSO:  Can we date the time that these planets were destroyed?

CSO_Washudoin says:
OPS: Thank you, I'll see what I can find:: Records all info into the computer::

CNS_Savar says:
MO: I mean, how do you feel?  Is it over?

CSO_Washudoin says:
CO: Yes Sir checking now.

Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO:  That would seem to indicate rather passive resistance would you say.  Along the lines of "salting" the fields.

MO_Calahan says:
::sighs:: Savar: It is far from over. I am not out of the danger of being stalked still.  Jepoth was not my only enemy, counselor.

CNS_Savar says:
MO: I can guess that

CTO_Loran says:
CO:  Sir, this system seems to have been destroyed between 500 and 1000 years ago.

CSO_Washudoin says:
CO: Sir, Judging by the expansion pattern of the asteroids, I'd say about 500 to 1000 years.

Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO:  Well that correlates with the other system.

XO_Claymore says:
CO: there's that time period again. Sir, perhaps we should contact the station and have them prepare for another possible threat

CTO_Loran says:
CO:  Close, yes, Sir.

MO_Calahan says:
Savar: I'm not going to comment on that......

CNS_Savar says:
MO: I didn't ask you to.

MO_Calahan says:
::sighs:: Savar: Do you believe that......well...there is a way to cheat, somehow, in a blood oath?

CNS_Savar says:
MO: There's no possible rehabilitation treatments that could help your shoulder?

Host CO_Morgan says:
XO:  I'm not sure that 1000 to 500 years ago is that much of an immediate threat, but send a message on the  Station and keep SFC alerted.

MO_Calahan says:
::stands....and turns a little....:: Savar: Do you know what I mean?

CNS_Savar says:
MO: I suppose, in a way, there's a way to cheat everything.

CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Reads through all information received from OPS and continues scanning area::

XO_Claymore says:
CO: the Nomads, 1000 years seems to correspond to everything we're finding out about these destroyed planets and it's when the Nomads lost their genetic variability

Host CO_Morgan says:
XO/CTO:  It would seem to me that whoever did this was looking to deny habitation to anyone.

MO_Calahan says:
::bites lip, but stays turned around....voice is soft:: Savar: I thought so.

CTO_Loran says:
CO:  Sir, it seems that the Nomads starting living like they do at about the same time.  Maybe all these different types of radiation caused their genetic codes to change into being what they are today.

CNS_Savar says:
MO: Why?  You feel like you cheating the blood oath?  How?

XO_Claymore says:
::crafts a bit for the station and SFC and readies it to be sent when we are in contact with the relay next::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: Two vessels enter the Thomas' sensor range.  They are of unknown configuration.

CTO_Loran says:
CO:  Yes, Sir, that can be.  But, it could be just the eradication of all 'different' species, or possibly superior races.

MO_Calahan says:
::sighs, and lowers her head, starting to put her hands on her hips, but stops......shoulder......::

Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO/XO: Yes, or perhaps the Nomads we met are all that are left of their people.  The need to create new worlds and stars may stem from the systematic destruction of all habitable worlds in this quadrant.

CTO_Loran says:
CO:  Sir, two vessels closing on our location.

Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO:  Identification?

MO_Calahan says:
::rubs her shoulder again.

OPS_Janarn says:
CTO: Boosting power to the sensors::

CTO_Loran says:
CO:  Unknown right now.  Running them through the computer for comparison on the two known Nomad ships.

CEO_McDuggle says:
::boost power to shields::

OPS_Janarn says:
CO: Boosting power to the shields.

OPS_Janarn says:
CEO: Thanks, Chief.

CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Locks sensors on the ships tries to find origin::

CNS_Savar says:
::Raises an eyebrow, still waiting for Keely to answer::

Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO:  Bring shields online.  But keep the weapons powered down.

CTO_Loran says:
CO:  Sir, there are about 100 humanoid life signs in each ship, and they do not match any Nomad ship design or lifesigns.

CTO_Loran says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::brings shields online::

Host CO_Morgan says:
CSO:  Any correlation with any known species?

CEO_McDuggle says:
OPS: I have shut down all nonessential areas of the ship so that we can have extra power when we need it

OPS_Janarn says:
::pulling power away from unessential areas and boosting power to shields and sensors::

XO_Claymore says:
CO: should we limit our scans of them, they may see it as hostile

MO_Calahan says:
Savar: I.....well....I didn't fight him the way I was supposed too. ::bites her lip:: I didn't engage him in battle to the end.......I used my superior genetic and medical knowledge....to....to kill him from the inside out......

Host CO_Morgan says:
OPS:  Open a hail to the vessels.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The two vessels are now within visual range

MO_Calahan says:
Savar: Do you know what I mean?

CSO_Washudoin says:
CO: None that we know of Sir. No matching life signs.

Host CO_Morgan says:
XO:  I am not willing to risk the ship, in light of the devastation we are finding in this galaxy.

OPS_Janarn says:
::opening hailing frequencies:: CO Hailing frequencies open, sir.

CNS_Savar says:
MO: You were involved in the illness that weakened Jepoth?

CTO_Loran says:
CO:  Sir, they are now within visual range.  ::places the ships on the main viewer::

OPS_Janarn says:
CO: I have the ships in visual range.

Host CO_Morgan says:
COMM:  Unknown vessels:  This is the USS Thomas of the UFP, we are on a peaceful exploration mission.  Please identify yourselves and your intentions.

MO_Calahan says:
::voice gets softer:: Savar: Counselor, I synthesized the virus that attacked him, deleted all records of it, and infected him......my 4th year at the academy.....

MO_Calahan says:
::sighs, and turns around again.......::

CNS_Savar says:
MO: Why did you never tell me?

CEO_McDuggle says:
CO: sir sensors show standard warp and impulse engines and no radiation leakage

CNS_Savar says:
MO: Keely, biological weapon use is a serious crime... you are a Starfleet Officer.

CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Monitors the triangular shaped, un-armed or defended ships, Studies their standard warp drive ::

MO_Calahan says:
Savar: I have felt guilty for it as soon as I realized how he would die.....::gets quieter:: geez.....I know!

Host CO_Morgan says:
CEO:  Anything that resembles Nomad technology?

Host Jklar says:
COMM: Thomas: Identify yourselves and your presence in this area.

CEO_McDuggle says:
CO: not at the moment Sir

CNS_Savar says:
::Sits back, feeling like he's in an odd position::

MO_Calahan says:
::whirls around, slightly frustrated again, but holding onto her emotions:: Savar: That's exactly why I created a cure 2 months ago.....and sent the sequence to his doctor.

XO_Claymore says:
::thinks the reply was almost an echo of what the Captain said::

CNS_Savar says:
MO: Then I wonder why he never used it?

CEO_McDuggle says:
::Continues to scan the ships for weapons::

Host CO_Morgan says:
COMM: Jklar:  I am Capt. Jeffrey Morgan of the USS Thomas, a UFP starship on a peaceful exploration mission.  May I ask you to identify yourselves and your intentions.

MO_Calahan says:
::sinks into the chair, pale....:: Savar: I destroyed every trace of it I could find.....but by the time I got the cure to him.....::covers her eyes with her hand...:: By the time he tried to use it, the virus had gone too far, and the only way to avoid the death in store for him was......was suicide.

CNS_Savar says:
::Speechless::

Host Jklar says:
COMM: Morgan: I am JKlar of the Uden Alliance.  We patrol this area.  Your ship is unfamiliar to us.  What is this UFP you speak of?

MO_Calahan says:
::sees the whole thing running through her mind......the lab.....the communications.....the yelling.....the stabbing....merely sits holding her eyes, as a small tear slips out, running down her cheek.....::

XO_Claymore says:
::puts together another cultural exchange package... is getting used to this::

Host CO_Morgan says:
COMM: Jklar: The UFP is a federation of planets in a galaxy that lies on the other side of a wormhole that has formed near this system.  The UFP is a peaceful organization interested in exploration and research.

CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Continues scanning the vessels ::

CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Studies the humanoid lifesigns ::

Host Jklar says:
COMM: Morgan: Our other patrol ships detected the tunnel of which you speak.  The small station near to it; this is yours?  Your federation sounds much like our own alliance.

CEO_McDuggle says:
::checks power reading and allocates power where it is need::

MO_Calahan says:
::wipes her eye and stands up, replacing the sling....::

CNS_Savar says:
::Wants to simply exclaim, "Wow"::

Host CO_Morgan says:
COMM: Jklar:  Yes the station you speak of is a communication array, that allows us to communicate with our home on the other side of the wormhole, about 5 M. LY from this galaxy.

XO_Claymore says:
::presses a button that makes a beep sound so that the Captain knows the cultural package is ready to be sent at his command::

MO_Calahan says:
Savar: I knew it was wrong to try and tell you.....that's exactly why I have to erase all evidence from history...which is what I will be doing the next chance I get.  If you'll excuse me......

CNS_Savar says:
MO: wait.

MO_Calahan says:
::eyes grow pained, softer:: Savar: I'm sorry to have brought you into this.

CNS_Savar says:
MO: What do you mean by that?  That you're going to erase it all?

CTO_Loran says:
*CMO*:  Doctor, I have some sensor data I need you to examine with a fine toothed comb.  I'm sending the data to your office.  ::sends the sensor data to the doctor's office::

MO_Calahan says:
::nods:: Savar: I must.

CMO_Utoo says:
*CTO* Aye Sir, I'll let you know when I'm done with it...

CNS_Savar says:
MO: I hope you are not suggesting what I think you are.

CMO_Utoo says:
::Downloads the data to a PADD and sits down looking at it::

MO_Calahan says:
::raises an eyebrow:: Savar; And what would that be?

Host CO_Morgan says:
::nods to the XO to acknowledge the signal::

CNS_Savar says:
MO: Well, if you've already taken care of the computer data and such, the only thing left is to eliminate the people who know of this

CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Continues studying the vessels and the fissures::

Host Jklar says:
COMM: Morgan: Communications array.  Interesting.  Does it monitor the tunnel as well?

MO_Calahan says:
::smirks:: Savar: Afraid for your life counselor?

XO_Claymore says:
::sends the data stream towards the vessel and awaits their acknowledgement::

MO_Calahan says:
Savar: Or for others?

CNS_Savar says:
MO: I am a Doctor.

CNS_Savar says:
MO: "Do no harm"  And prevent such harm

CMO_Utoo says:
::reads down the information:: Self: Hmm....interesting...

Host CO_Morgan says:
COMM: Jklar:  Yes in a rudimentary way.  Most by relaying the data to our station on the other side, and to our vessel.  May I ask more about the alliance you spoke of.  Is it a military alliance?  Also , would you know what happened to the planetary systems in this area?

MO_Calahan says:
::sighs:: Savar: Yeah......in this case, only Jepoth could be infected.  Genetically specific.......I only have to find the doctors who might have taken blood, and found the virus.

CNS_Savar says:
MO: And do what to them?

MO_Calahan says:
::smirks::

MO_Calahan says:
Savar: Take the blood samples, destroy anything they found, scare them to death, then leave them to dwell on it.....

Host Jklar says:
COMM: Morgan: Does your small station tell you of the subspace compression the tunnel is about to undergo?  And yes, we know well what happened to these planets.

CNS_Savar says:
MO: You know that destruction of property and threats are criminal charges

Host CO_Morgan says:
::looks to OPS CEO and CSO::  All:  Well does it?

XO_Claymore says:
::stands up and moves over to the CSO::

MO_Calahan says:
::raises an eyebrow:: Savar: Not when I don't do it.....

MO_Calahan says:
::smiles mischievously::

CSO_Washudoin says:
CO: Checking Sir.

OPS_Janarn says:
::thinks Holy Cow::

CNS_Savar says:
MO: Conspiracy.

OPS_Janarn says:
CO: Checking sir.

OPS_Janarn says:
::running checks on subspace compressions on or in the wormhole::

OPS_Janarn says:
CO: No, sir.

CEO_McDuggle says:
CO Sir the array shows no problems

OPS_Janarn says:
CO: There's nothing wrong, sir.

OPS_Janarn says:
::thinking...did we miss something? rerunning the numbers::

 CNS_Savar says:
MO: Lisa, you can't do this.

MO_Calahan says:
Savar: Counselor, I will not do anything illegal...no one will die.....I have....friends....finding the things that might be on Qo'nos, and all I have to do is gather the samples and properly dispose of them.....

CEO_McDuggle says:
::recheck reading on comm platform::

CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Looks over the records ::

Host CO_Morgan says:
COMM: Jklar:  We are currently running the data on the wormhole, but right now, things seem normal ::has a very bad feeling about how far it is from home if the wormhole collapses::

CNS_Savar says:
MO: You're still conspiring to destroy private property and have people threatened.  These are not light things.

OPS_Janarn says:
CEO: Chief are you getting any of these readings they're talking about?

CEO_McDuggle says:
OPS: No I am not but I am rechecking to be sure

MO_Calahan says:
::shakes head:: Savar: If you knew the details counselor, you would know that I am not doing that at all.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The communications array suddenly goes dead and the wormhole shows a sudden burst of neutrinos and verterons, then collapses.

OPS_Janarn says:
CSO: Sir?  How about you?  I'm not getting any of these.... ::watches as the array goes dead::

CNS_Savar says:
MO: Well, maybe you should share some of those details so that I don't feel obligated to report this to Starfleet Security

XO_Claymore says:
::looks at the sensors...:: CO: Sir, It Collapsed!

OPS_Janarn says:
::out loud to self:: Oh, no...

MO_Calahan says:
::sighs:: Savar: The physicians actually talked to me, and were intrigued by the virus.  I explained that I couldn't let it get out, in case it mutated, and (being doctors) they agreed to return their research and samples.....in return for a few things.

CEO_McDuggle says:
CO: Sir I'm afraid that the comm array just went dead and the wormhole seems to have collapsed

CSO_Washudoin says:
OPS: Nothing here either Ens. :: Watches the wormhole close::

Host CO_Morgan says:
XO:  What?  ::tries not to let the panic he suddenly feels creep into his voice::

OPS_Janarn says:
CO: Sir, perhaps we could reverse the process?  Force the wormhole open again?

XO_Claymore says:
CO: The wormhole, it just collapsed. And not that it is important, the array has gone dead as well.

MO_Calahan says:
Savar: One of Jepoth's grandson's is meeting me with everything at Starfleet Medical on Earth, when I can get away.

CNS_Savar says:
MO: What are the doctors getting in return?

Host CO_Morgan says:
CSO:  Can you confirm the readings on the wormhole?

Host Jklar says:
COMM: Morgan: Well.  It now seems we shall have plenty of time to discuss things.  Perhaps we should meet, yes?

OPS_Janarn says:
CO: Sir, I volunteer to go.

MO_Calahan says:
::shrugs:: Savar: Hell if I know....

Host CO_Morgan says:
::sits down heavily in his chair:: COMM: Jklar:  We seem to have an abundance of time...

XO_Claymore says:
::moves over to his chair and falls in::

CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Scans the hole and tries to see why it closed, studies the verterons and neutrinos that burst from the hole:: CO: It seems closed Sir, unfortunately.
