<<<<Begin Mission>>>>

CSO_Washudoin says:
::Begins checking some systems from Operations, readying to head down to some labs::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
::in a turbolift heading for Ops::
CSec_Powers says:
::In the Armory, counting phasers and having his security officers take them down to the range for testing:: Alpha_Team: Alright, that's another thirty rifles.  Take those down to range two, okay?  And try not to blow any of them up.  ::Smiles to let them know he's joking::
EO_Dhan says:
::in main engineering waiting for something to break::
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Runs some test on the LRS and some on internal sensors ::
CNS_Cook says:
::just leaving one of the docking bays after meeting with one of the inpection teams, and is heading for OPS::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
::enters Operations:: All: Report.
Host ACO_Claymore says:
::walks through operations not heading to any specific station just walking around::
CNS_Cook says:
::enters the TL, and starts the ride to ops::
EO_Dhan says:
::inspects the main power core::
CNS_Cook says:
::arrives in ops, heads towards claymore::
CSO_Washudoin says:
ACO: Everything seems to be intact with the science systems, I'm still doing some looking around Sir.
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Begins locating some of his science ensigns that he has had hide around the station to test the internals ::
CSec_Powers says:
::Walks through the station heading towards the Brig, where his Beta team is working::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
CSO: Do you have long range scans from the Mining Colony available?
CSO_Washudoin says:
Bargle,Cowhart: I found you, now back to work. :: The ensigns respond back and continue to fixing up the labs ::
CSO_Washudoin says:
ACO: Yes Sir, they seem to be in working order. I'm still just running some final tests.
CNS_Cook says:
ACO: Sir, I just got back from the docking bay.  The inspections are going as well as can be expected, one of the seals weren't operating at 100% so I am having it repaired.  The freighter captain didn't like it very much when I asked him to undock and move over to another bay.  ::shrugs:: but he will get over it.
Host ACO_Claymore says:
CNS: And the hull?
Host ACO_Claymore says:
CSO: I'd like a copy of those scans ::holds out a PADD:: on this PADD
CNS_Cook says:
ACO: It is being checked as we speak, I am scheduled to meet with that team in a few hours.
CSec_Powers says:
::Walks into the Brig looking down at his PADD and absently asking for a report... then looks up to see his entire team trapped in two cells and looking down at their feet in shame::
CSO_Washudoin says:
ACO: Understood. ::Take the PADD.::
EO_Dhan says:
::watches as the data streams by, Thinks: looks good so far....::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
::standing by waiting for PADD to be returned... decides to continue:: *CSec*: How are my brigs Ensign?
CSec_Powers says:
*ACO*: Well, they seem to be keeping my team in... ::taps in his override command to try to drop the forcefields::
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Begins recording his scanning reports of the mining colony onto the PADD, everything seems to be normal ::
CSec_Powers says:
*ACO*: The team leader says it malfunctioned and came on while he was in there.
EO_Dhan says:
::starts running diagnostic on EPS grid::
CNS_Cook says:
::looks up with a slight smile on his face when he hears what Powers is saying to Claymore.::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
::agitated:: *CSec*: Get them out and then have the entire system and subsystems rechecked on Level 1 verification.
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Notices some minor sensor alignment problems, begins recalibrating some of them::
CSec_Powers says:
*ACO*: Aye, sir.  ::Tries to keep his face straight as he gets his team on that job::
CNS_Cook says:
ACO: Sir, there is something else I would like to speak with you about.  It is about the crew in general
Host ACO_Claymore says:
CNS: Do you wish to speak about it here or does it require some discreetness?
CNS_Cook says:
ACO: The Ready Room would be better then out here
CSO_Washudoin says:
*Bargle*: Ensign, report on the conditions of the labs.
Host ACO_Claymore says:
::begins to walk towards the ready room:: CSO: When you have those scans on that PADD please inform me. ::enters the Ready Room and heads behind the desk::
CSO_Washudoin says:
<Bargle> *CSO*: The first couple have been in working conditions but still some repairs are needed in a few more Sir.
CSO_Washudoin says:
ACO: Acknowledged.
CSec_Powers says:
::Sighs again and leaves his team to their own shame as he heads towards the communications hub::
CNS_Cook says:
::follows Claymore in to the RR, and waits for the Door to shut::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
CNS: Have a seat counselor.
CSO_Washudoin says:
*Bargle*: Understood keep me informed.
CNS_Cook says:
::takes a seat in front of the Commander:: ACO:  Sir, the crew is taking the ::pauses a moment:: the death of the Captain very hard.  Don't get me wrong, they are moving on, and all these inspections and repairs are helping them get their mind off the problem, but I can tell when I walk back and see a crewman staring off in to space, with a depress look on his face, my counselors are working on the problem, but it is hard as many of them feel the same way
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Finishes recalibrations and tries the sensors again, continues recording data onto the ACO's PADD ::
CSec_Powers says:
::Slowly meanders along the way to the hub, looking around at things... it's rather quiet around here::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
::looks down:: CNS: It will be hard, I can say that from personal experience. It would be good to have an outside influence on this, but that would mean having Starfleet Medical send in a special case Counselor to make sure we all haven't gone off the deep end. I'm not particularly willing to do that.
EO_Dhan says:
::finishes diagnostic on EPS, starts diagnostic on  RCS::
EO_Dhan says:
*ACO*: So far the diagnostics on the power core and the diagnostics on the EPS are looking good. I am running a diagnostic on the RCS now
CNS_Cook says:
::shakes his head in agreement::  ACO: No, I don't think that would be good either.  Having SF Medical come in will just increase the stress on everyone.  Since there are many religious organizations on the station, I have been working with the directors of each group on providing special grievance services for their members, and my staff has been providing group sessions to those who wish to attend.
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Notices a buildup of neutrinos 40'000 meters or so from the station in one area ::
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Tries to take a closer look focusing the sensors on the one area ::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
*EO:* Thank you for the update, I shall try to visit Engineering soon... ::taps com badge:: CNS: I'd also like to see something a little less voluntary, like a celebration of some sort. Are there any Federation Holidays coming up... maybe even something from a member world?
CNS_Cook says:
::looks somewhat confused:: ACO: Less voluntary, are you saying I should force someone to attend some kind of celebration?

ACTION: Suddenly, the area of space that has interested the CSO seems to "fold".  A large shape appears as if coming from behind a curtain...

Host ACO_Claymore says:
CNS: No, the group sessions are closed to a certain amount of people, they won't reach everyone on the station. But some type of holiday would be quite a bit more open
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Whoa, Begins scanning the shape :: *ACO*: Sir there is a fold in space outside the station and a large shape coming into view. You might want to come take a look.

INFO: You can now see a huge, humanoid statue floating in space.  It is 512 meters long, is oriented face down relative to the station.

CNS_Cook says:
ACO: Oh I see, I will have to check to see if there is anything coming up. If not then we can always just make up some reason for a celebration.
CSec_Powers says:
::Arrives in the communications hub, and sees several Engineers working:: Engs: How are things going, boys?
Host ACO_Claymore says:
CNS: Agreed... *CSO*: I'm on my way...
Host ACO_Claymore says:
::stands up and walks out of the Ready Room:: CSO: Put the object on the main viewer.
CNS_Cook says:
::stands and follows him out of the RR::
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Looks at the statue and it's 512 meter frame, trying to get any information from it he can.:: ACO: Main viewer Sir. :: Pushes a button ::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
CSO: Analysis?

INFO: The statue shows considerable evidence of erosion.  It has two legs, five arms, and stumps for three more arms.  It is 170.72 meters across at its widest point:  One outstretched arm to another.  It has a humanoid head, neck and a face obscured by erosion.

CSO_Washudoin says:
ACO: It's seems to be a huge statue, maybe of a god or something.
Host ACO_Claymore says:
CSO: Compare it to the cultural database.
CSO_Washudoin says:
ACO: Tests are underway Sir.
CNS_Cook says:
::looks up at the statue, and wonders what religious faction he is going to have to tell there just isn't any room for this on the station::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
CNS: check to make sure it is not drifting towards the station or has any other dangerous capabilities.
CSO_Washudoin says:
: Waiting for the computer to search through the data base finding any comparisons that have been recorded ::
CNS_Cook says:
::nods claymore, and walks over to an empty console, and begins scanning the object, and also tracking its "flight" path::
CSec_Powers says:
<Engineers> ::Look up from their work:: CSec: Nothing we can't handle.  We're just tracing down a few minor problems with a couple of internal communications screens.
EO_Dhan says:
*ACO*: RCS Diagnostics comes up all clear.
CSO_Washudoin says:
ACO: Sir there is nothing in our data that resembles this enormous statue, I'll begin scanning for any markings that may lead us to an answer.
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Scans for any life signs that may be inside, thinking it could be a vessel.::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
*EO*: Give me a status report on external tractor beams.
EO_Dhan says:
*ACO*: Aye. ::starts running a diagnostic on tractor beams::
CSO_Washudoin says:
ACO: There are no marking present, it's riddles with erosion, weapons fire, and craters from stellar collisions.
CSec_Powers says:
::Nods to the Engineers, glad things are going so well::

ACTION: Multiple energy beams appear from the statue's surface and begin playing across the station in a criss cross pattern.  They penetrate the interior of the station (not a breach) and move across the people and equipment therein.

CNS_Cook says:
ACO: It doesn't seem to be moving at all, I am checking it now for anything that might be considered dangerous
CSec_Powers says:
::Gets a call from his Alpha team leader:: <A_Team> *CSec*: Sir, all thirty rifles checked out.  We had a problem with range two... we accidentally blew a hole in it.  Someone replaced a tile with the wrong material.  It's taken care of now.
Host ACO_Claymore says:
CSO & CNS: Is this a scan or attack?
CSO_Washudoin says:
ACO: I would assume a scan sir. 
EO_Dhan says:
::sees a beam cut across main engineering, out loud:: By the Prophets! ::is startled as a beam goes across her::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
CSO: No assumptions please
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Scans for any mechanical interiors there might be, weapons and such::
CSO_Washudoin says:
ACO: Understood.
CSec_Powers says:
::Sees a blue-colored beam come through the wall and strike the communications hub... then wave around to blind the CSec momentarily::
CNS_Cook says:
::begins scanning the station for any signs of damage, being caused::
CSec_Powers says:
::Waves afterimages away:: *A-Team*: Very good... take those phasers back to the Armory and arm yourselves.  Something is amiss.  I'm checking in with Operations and will get back to you.
Host ACO_Claymore says:
::decides to give the order:: OPS: Take us to yellow alert. *Senior Staff*: Report to Operations immediately.
CSO_Washudoin says:
ACO: Sir my sensors can't penetrate the surface of the statue, I'll see if I can adjust them in an way.
EO_Dhan says:
::hears the call and exits Main Engineering::
CNS_Cook says:
<Duty OPS> ACO: Aye Sir ::sounds yellow alert::
Host Brett says:
<Computer> All: Warning!  Computer security compromised.  Contents of station database being scanned and copied by unauthorized source.
Host ACO_Claymore says:
CSO: Block access only to secured information.
EO_Dhan says:
::hears warning:: Self: Oh... wonderful.... ::runs back to ME for a PADD::
CSO_Washudoin says:
ACO: Acknowledged
EO_Dhan says:
::leaves ME and rushes to a Turbolift::
CNS_Cook says:
ACO: Sir, there doesn't appear to be any damage to the station it self, expect that the computer is being breached
CSec_Powers says:
*Operations*: OPS, this is Security Chief Powers... I just saw an electric blue beam scan the equipment down here and myself... I've had my alpha team go to standby.  What are you orders?
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Begins trying to block the information from this unknown 'thief'::
EO_Dhan says:
::taps the PADD impatiently in her hand as she waits for the lift::
EO_Dhan says:
::enters the lift:: TL: Operations.
Host ACO_Claymore says:
*CSec*: I want you up here to help coordinate any response.
EO_Dhan says:
::runs a hand through her short red hair, touches her earring briefly::
CSec_Powers says:
*ACO*: Aye, sir.  On my way.
Host Brett says:
<Computer> CSO: Warning!   Fail-safe mechanism engaged.  Current operation will result in loss of data.  Command authorization required to override.
CSec_Powers says:
*Alpha Team*: Alpha team, take standard positions.  Inform the Beta team to stand-by, and have Gamma Team take over your duties as well as theirs.
CSec_Powers says:
::Begins moving towards the Operations center::
CNS_Cook says:
ACO: I would recommend going to Red Alert, as this is surely affecting Station Security. In a matter of minutes it will know exactly what to do to destroy the station.
CSO_Washudoin says:
ACO: Sir blocking the information may wipe out our data base.

INFO: The beams are unaffected by station shields.

Host ACO_Claymore says:
CSO: Great...
EO_Dhan says:
::arrives in Operations::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
CSO: disregard that order then

ACTION: The beams cease as quickly as they began.

CSO_Washudoin says:
ACO: Understood :: stops his actions ::
CNS_Cook says:
<Duty OPS> ACO: Sir, the station shields are not providing any providing any protection from the beams
EO_Dhan says:
ACO: I am here as requested.
Host ACO_Claymore says:
CNS: If it's trying to destroy the station all it had to do was fire a weapon.
CSec_Powers says:
::Rides in the turbolift after stopping by the security office to grab his own personal rifle::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
EO: Take Engineering and give me a status report on station defenses
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Keeps a lock on the statue, trying to get any information possible ::
CNS_Cook says:
CSO: I did a thesis back in the academy on different societies and there symbols, maybe I could help figure out where this thing came from, which might help us decide what to do
EO_Dhan says:
::gets to the Engineering station::
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Knowing the statue is hollow from his scans :: CNS: Any help would be good.
