Mission Summary 10601.16
 
Nick:
The crew has received an experimental power unit that when hooked to the Matter/Antimatter Reaction Chamber would theoretically increase the efficiency in which energy is used, cutting down on Antimatter consumption
 
Nick:
The experiment seemed at first to be a success, energy usage efficiency went up an impressive 15% almost immediately
 
Nick:
Commander Archen ordered those in Engineering to run a diagnostic to make sure everything is up to snuff and went to Operations. Less then 5 minutes later he walked back into Engineering wondering why the diagnostic he ordered over 12 hours ago was not complete.
 
Nick:
Communications throughout the station are out, and when the computer was asked for the current time, the computer reported a time difference of about 6 hours later then what the people in Engineering expected and 6 hours earlier then the Commander expected. The Captain's last known wearabouts was on Operations

CMO Burton:
::preparing to take a bio reading of all personnel in Engineering::
 
CO Martin:
::Just coming out of her quarters after spending some time with her daughter, sipping a large mug of coffee::
 
aSO Tyler:
::looking over a science report, with her head down and BUMPS into  her CO's back after turning a corner wrong::
 
XO Archen:
::doesn't see the chief engineer anywhere, thinking he might be out on a task, Archen begins the transfer of all Operations functions from OPS to the Main Engineering center console system::
 
Nick:
ACTION: The Computer is not responding to the XO's commands.
 
XO Archen:
Self: darn, that figures
 
CMO Burton:
::Finishes taking the readings and begins to analyze the findings::
 
TO MJDoole:
::rubbing the back if head, thinking:: XO: You know, this all started the moment I plugged that damn thing in and started it up.
 
Nick:
ACTION: The Computer consoles seem completely locked up, every touch of a console button has no beep, no response, though it is still lit. Portable devices such as tricorders are still working.
 
XO Archen:
TO: I agree Lieutenant .. you think we can remove it safely?
 
CO Martin:
::jumps and spills some coffee:: self: Oh! ::turns:: SO: Oh, Tyler...please watch where you're going...
 
TO MJDoole:
XO: So what should happen, theoretically, is if I pull the plug on it, things should return to normal
 
XO Archen:
::presses a button that should slide back a panel to reveal where the power amplifier is plugged in::
 
aSO Tyler:
CO: oh.. oh.. sorry (squeeky voice half shock half annoyance) I was um.. my experiment.. uhh.. never mind sorry.. :: tried to wipe the coffee off with her sleve and bumps the Co's arm spilling more on her shoes:: ohh.. yeah.. thats not right
 
Nick:
ACTION: Nothing happens when the XO Presses the button.
 
XO Archen:
TO: Well .. I agree .. we should turn the thing off ... damn it the panel is sealed, what the heck?
 
CO Martin:
::looks down at her shoes and the front of her uniform where theres coffee now::...Self: Ah...oh dear...
 
XO Archen:
::needs a moment to think; so seeming to be courteous he turns to the CMO to allow the Doctor scan his body freely::
 
aSO Tyler:
CO: I was just transferred.. station life's .. different.. you know.. ::holds padd close to chest and looks at the Co's wet shoes:: yeah I'm sorry, but you know if those are synthic leather.. coffee helps hold the shine..
 
Nick:
ACTION: Any display that would be changing or blinking appears completely still
 
XO Archen:
CMO: Anything physically wrong with us?
 
CO Martin:
::sighs a little, but shrugs:: SO: Does it now?...::looks at the shoes again:: Well, I'll keep that in mind ::smiles a little::
 
CMO Burton:
XO: Nothing out of the ordinary physically with us, sir.

aSO Tyler:
Co: um sir, before you leave or demote me or what ever.. have you noticed anything funny? I mean I can't upload my latest data to the station core and finish my calculations
 
CO Martin:
::raises her eyebrows:: SO: Is that so?...I haven't really tried anything like that for the past while...Come then, you can explain it on the way to OPS.
 
XO Archen:
TO: Get that panel open Mr. Doole, please use caution, and whatever you do don't attempt to deactivate it yet!
 
CO Martin:
::walks towards the nearest lift, motioning for Tyler to follow::
 
TO MJDoole:
XO: Ok. ::reaches down and tries to carefully peel the panel open like a tin can::

Nick:
ACTION: The TO fails to open the panel, it wont budge.
 
aSO Tyler:
::follows the CO not sure thats a good idea::
 
Nick:
ACTION: The button Commander Archen pressed 15 minutes ago on a console beeps once as if the button was just pressed
 
XO Archen:
TO: did you see that?
 
XO Archen:
CMO: I am not so sure I feel so fine Doc ... I'm feeling a delay in my own senses and perceptions
 
TO MJDoole:
XO: Yes. What the heck?
 
CO Martin:
::walks up to the door, and without a second thought, hits the button to open the doors without stopping - promptly walking into them since they don't open::
 
XO Archen:
TO: Bet that door is going to open in a few moments .... ::waits for it::
 
aSO Tyler:
CO: well I need the next batch of bio-data from the XG5-B7 plants and their growth rates and if i don't get it in 2 hours I have to do it all over again but I can't :: follows the CO into the lift and taps on her padd:: and whats worse is this data looks.. wrong.. these metabolic chemicals here ::holds the padd up to the CO:: see here? those shouldn't have formed yet..
 
Nick:
ACTION: The button beeps again as if it was just pressed again, looking at the console it can be seen that the first 2 buttons he had pressed long ago are now going through as if they are new commands, but all the dynamic displays are still static, but not exactly the displays they were displaying a few minutes ago
 
CMO Burton:
XO: It might have something to do with the whole time continuum thing perception thing, but physically you seem fine.
 
XO Archen:
ALL: did the specs on this device say HOW exactly it improved power?
 
aSO Tyler:
::looks at the CO after she bounces off the doors::
 
Nick:
ACTION: The frozen spec screen on energy efficiency shows over 150% above normal.
 
aSO Tyler:
CO: is this a new command reflect test sir?
 
XO Archen:
ALL: maybe it used some form of compressed time to simulate raw power. .. just a guess but what would happen if the devices housing happen to be cracked?
 
XO Archen:
::pulls out an arc thoridian torch and attempts to cut the panel away::
 
Nick:
ACTION: The panel glows, but will not melt or burn
 
XO Archen:
CMO: Bring your medical tricorder over here lets get some power scans of the device if you can please ..
 
CO Martin:
::gives the SO a funny look:: SO: Reflex test?...I rather think it's someone’s bad idea of a joke...::pushes the buttons to open the door again::
 
CMO Burton:
XO: Aye sir. :: Walks over and begins to scan the device::
 
aSO Tyler:
CO: oh sorry ::waits with the CO::
 
XO Archen:
::stops trying to use the torch sense he doesn't understand the current effects:: Self: mom used to say don't try and force something you don't understand you might break it .
 
XO Archen:
TO: Watch your arm that panel should be hot by now ..
 
CO Martin:
::frowns as the doors don't open:: SO: that's odd...
 
aSO Tyler:
CO: yes sir? perhaps we should take a climb? maybe the core is down
 
Nick:
ACTION: The Doctor's scans indicate everything is perfectly normal outside the device, but inside the device there are readings of incredible gravimetric distortions
 
CO Martin:
::shrugs slightly:: SO: I suppose we have no other option...hold on, I'll try contacting OPS to let them know.

CMO Burton:
XO: Sir, I am reading an extreme amount of gravimetric distortions inside the device.
 
TO MJDoole:
XO: That's why I'm using my right arm, not my left. My right arm is mechanical. It doesn't feel heat.
 
TO MJDoole:
::gives a lopsided grin at the XO::
 
aSO Tyler:
CO: right sir.. ::goes back to her padd and tryign to dowload the data to the core.. gets more error and looks at the clock in the corner of the screen:: Self: (mummbles) next time I remember to get socks and underwear before I leave my quarters.. man my feet are wet.. ::keeps tapping::
 
CO Martin:
::hits her comm badge:: *OPS* Martin to OPS, the lift down on the Quarters deck isn't opening, send an Engineer or an Operations officer down to get on it, would you?
 
XO Archen:
TO: Try putting a level 10 containment field around the device and only the device, please
 
TO MJDoole:
XO:: I will try. No promises, with the way things are going
 
TO MJDoole:
::taps in a few commands on the console in a attempt to place a level 10 containment field around only the device::
 
CMO Burton:
XO: It appears to be running through the entire core, or at least all of the core I can scan, sir.
 
XO Archen:
CMO: can you contact the support ship in dock with the tricorder Lieutenant?
 
CMO Burton:
XO: I will attempt to sir. ::Tries to contact the ship, but to no avail::

TO MJDoole:
XO: Just as I figured. No luck with the containment field.
 
TO MJDoole:
XO: Computer is not responding
 
XO Archen:
ALL: Okay, well I'm open to suggestions from the crew ...
 
XO Archen:
ALL: Anyone want to chime in.
 
CMO Burton:
XO: Well apparently somehow that device has frozen or slowed time if I understand it. we need to get away from it to shut it down.
 
TO MJDoole:
:;joking:: XO: Want me to shoot the damn thing?
 
XO Archen:
TO: Not yet ... If it wasn't so close to the core I'd be warming up to the idea real soon.
 
TO MJDoole:
XO: Seriously, what if we were to contact one of the ships outside the station and have them enter the command codes to send our computer core into diagnostic mode?
 
TO MJDoole:
XO: I know they don't know them, but I could go aboard one of the ships and do it.
 
TO MJDoole:
XO: Since the computer isn't working, I doubt we could communicate with them and ask.
 
XO Archen:
CMO: Feel like a little surgery on an ill computer core?
 
CMO Burton:
XO: I would happy to give it a shot sir.
 
XO Archen:
ALL: The Doc and I are headed back down to the computer core, if we manage to somehow get the device exposed and powered down get it disconnected and placed in a containment field DO NOT beam it into space or anything ... It's effecting gravity, No telling what might occur in open space.
 
XO Archen:
::heads out of Main Engineering for the computer core::
 
Nick:
ACTION: The Doctor's tricorder beeps as more readings are slowly coming from the device, now he can see that inside the unit is a small quantum singularity
 
XO Archen:
CMO: You're with me.
 
CMO Burton:
XO: I am showing a quantum singularity inside the device sir.
 
XO Archen:
::opens a Jeffries Hatch in and crawls inside headed for the core::
 
CMO Burton:
::Following the XO::
 
XO Archen:
CMO: Yeah I figured it had to be something close to a blackhole..
 
XO Archen:
::climbs down four decks worth of ladders::
 
CMO Burton:
::Continues to follow the XO::
 
Nick:
ACTION: Once the XO and CMO reach the same deck as the computer core, they see consoles working at nearly normal speed, the closer they get to the computer core the more normal consoles appear, when they finally arrive at the computer core room the button to open the room works completely normally
 
XO Archen:
CMO: There are 4 Primary computer cores we need only to get to one of them to issue direct commands to our systems.
 
XO Archen:
CMO: And here we are ..
 
CMO Burton:
XO: Shall we begin sir?
 
TO MJDoole:
XO/CMO: Hang onto your butts, and be careful
 
XO Archen:
CMO: Lets try a standard energy reallocation protocol. Try and shut down as many none essential system programs and systems as you can I will send the commands to hibernate that device. I am hoping that the less programs we have running the faster the computer can aide us.

CMO Burton:
XO: Aye sir. ::Begins the procedure of shutting down all none essential programs::
 
Nick:
ACTION: The computers at the core are running completely normal, in fact faster then normal. An energy reading indicates that the current power output of the warp core is 10 to the 23rd power Megawatts
 
XO Archen:
CMO: Cancel that last request .. I got a bad feeling if we start shutting down systems the computer might try and dumb the excess into our dilithium storage pods ...
 
CMO Burton:
::Stops the procedure::
 
XO Archen:
CMO: Run a level 5 Systematic procedural diagnostic on 80% of of all primary and secondary systems on the station.
 
CMO Burton:
XO: Aye sir. :: Begins the diagnostic::
 
XO Archen:
::looks at the power flow reports the power dump is not working::
 
XO Archen:
CMO: Damn halt that as well
 
CMO Burton:
XO: Aye sir. :: Stops the diagnostic::
 
XO Archen:
CMO: Cancel the running diagnostic .. ::moves over to a secured panel and opens it with a code by hand.
 
Nick:
ACTION: Though none of the crew knows it, and the computer can't sense it because of the time dialation, a power coupling bursts in the main shuttlebay, causing a fire
 
XO Archen:
Computer: Recognize ... Archen, Cor ... Executive Officer. Commence emergency shut down of the Diithium matrix core transfer all systems to the fussion drive.
 
CMO Burton:
Computer: Recognize Burton, Kurtis. Concur with emergency shutdown.

Nick:
<Computer> XO: Attempting to Comply, command issued, not receiving response from the core.
 
XO Archen:
Computer: there is a core malfunction assume positive acquisition and commence with emergency shutdown and transfer without confirmation from the core.

Nick:
<Computer> XO: Acknowledged, transferring power flow to fusion reactors.. Command issued.. no response from fusion reactors.
 
XO Archen:
CMO: it's delayed cross our fingers it has to work
 
Nick:
ACTION: The power unit starts to glow blue, and from the perspective of the people farthest away from the unit in engineering, the people who are closest to the unit appear to not be moving at all
