Host Nick says:
Mission Summary - Stardate 10605.22 - The Starfleet engineering team has completed construction of 2 large rings, one in the Briar Patch near Risa, one in the Delta Triangle near Bellatrix (Gamma Orionis).
Initial checks are complete and the Arcadia Crew, on board the Nebula Class U.S.S. IO is ready to attempt to activate the gate. If it works a transwarp conduit will be created between the 2 gates.
A Class 2 Probe is ready to be launched into the conduit as soon as it is stable, if all goes well, the probe will travel over 180 light-years in a very short time.
Once 2 probes have successfully traversed the conduit, the I.O. is prepared to enter the ring itself.
Host Nick says:
<<<<<<<<<< Resume "Supergate" - Part II >>>>>>>>>>
XO Bodine says:
OPS: Is the class two sensor probe ready for launch Lieutenant?
OPS Burton says:
XO: Yes sir. Probes are ready for launch.
XO Bodine says:
OPS: Open narrow band subspace channel at the Supergate, please.
CNS Rose says:
::At Science station::
XO Bodine says:
TO: When the channel opens send the activation code you have.
OPS Burton says:
XO: Aye sir. ::Opens a channel to the gate::
OPS Burton says:
XO: In contact with the gate sir.
TO MJDoole says:
XO: OK.
TO MJDoole says:
::Sends activation code::
XO Bodine says:
CNS: Is the gate responding?
XO Bodine says:
OPS: On the main screen.
XO Bodine says:
TO: Problems? We have the right code correct?

OPS Burton says:
XO: Aye sir. ::Activates the main view screen::
CNS Rose says:
XO: No sir, no response suggest we try again sir.
TO MJDoole says:
XO: Checking.
TO MJDoole says:
::Transmits Papa 8 X-ray 8 7 3::
TO MJDoole says:
XO: Trying again.
CNS Rose says:
XO: Sir we have a response "Unable to initialize, subspace interference, estimated clearance in 30 seconds".
XO Bodine says:
CNS: Good Deal Counselor.
XO Bodine says:
OPS: We have a transmission interference?
OPS Burton says:
XO: Seems rather odd to have interference doesn’t it sir?
XO Bodine says:
OPS: Yes it does.
XO Bodine says:
CNS: Any indication the gate is not receiving our commands?
XO Bodine says:
ALL: We need to find out if the problem is on our side or the other end, any suggestions?
OPS Burton says:
XO: Perhaps we should delay the tests until we can find and isolate the source sir.
XO Bodine says:
OPS: Good idea, Abort the sequence please.
CNS Rose says:
XO: We can verify that the transmission was received, the error was in the initiation of the tunnel, and the error came from the gate sir
XO Bodine says:
CNS: Counselor, please scan the gate for anomalous readings, check it against design specs. Anything you can detect on scanners that might be of help?
OPS Burton says:
XO: Aye sir. ::Cuts the transmission to the gate::

OPS Burton says:
XO: Link severed sir.
CNS Rose says:
XO: Yes sir. ::Scans gate::
CNS Rose says:
XO: The diagnostic shows that the error was caused by a ship passing through the projected path of the tunnel, the conduit could not be initialized until after the ship had passed sir.
CNS Rose says:
ALL: So I guess it was just a traffic problem
XO Bodine says:
OPS: Contact the construction ships and inform them of the failure, perhaps one of them might ping back with suggestions as well sense they are the ones who put it together.
OPS Burton says:
XO: Aye sir: ::Contacting the construction vessels::
XO Bodine says:
CNS: Are you suggesting counselor that a ship intersected the stream?
CNS Rose says:
XO: No sir the stream was never generated. It was a failsafe in the gate's design the gate sends a subspace ping first to ensure conduit viability.
OPS Burton says:
XO: Recontact the gate then sir?
XO Bodine says:
ALL: I hope whoever it was is alright, CNS: If you feel it safe lets try this process again.
OPS Burton says:
::Reestablishes the link with the gate::
Host Nick says:
ACTION: The gate glows green, and moments later a yellow spiraling vortex appears in the center of the ring.
CNS Rose says:
XO: I believe it is safe sir.
XO Bodine says:
OPS: Resend the game code the TO transmitted last attempt please.
XO Bodine says:
CNS/OPS: Launch the Probe, Counselor, Mr. Burton channel the details to the Counselor.
OPS Burton says:
XO: Aye sir. Contact made probe ready for launch.
OPS Burton says:
XO: Aye sir. ::Launches the probe::
CNS Rose says:
XO: monitoring the probes sir.
OPS Burton says:
CNS: Readings on the way now.
XO Bodine says:
CNS: Report?
Host Nick says:
ACTION: The Probe vanishes into the vortex, readings from the probe start to gain considerable interference, however they do show the probe as intact.
Host Capt Regnum says:
::Walks out onto the bridge::
XO Bodine says:
OPS: How is he transmission quality? Boost power to the Comm Array and Science Sub Systems.
CNS Rose says:
XO: there is some interference but the readings are still coming in sir.
XO Bodine says:
OPS: See what you can do to clear it up.
XO Bodine says:
CNS: Can we get a Visual on the main screen?
CNS Rose says:
XO: Yes sir we can. ::Pulls up the visual on the main screen::
XO Bodine says:
CNS: Just tell me if it's stable.
OPS Burton says:
XO: Incoming hail sir.
XO Bodine says:
TO: Report from engineering any effects we should expect when in the transwarp conduit?
Host Capt Regnum says:
ACTION: The Main viewer changes to display the inside of the Vortex as seen from the Probe, though with static. A large green tunnel that the probe is very rapidly traveling through.
OPS Burton says:
::Puts the hail on audio::
TO MJDoole says:
::Contacts engineering to discuss the effects of the Transwarp Conduit on the engines::
Host Capt Regnum says:
<Captain Eastwood> COM: IO: This is Captain Eastwood aboard the U.S.S. Tevan in the Delta Triangle, do you read me in the Briar Patch?
XO Bodine says:
::Listens for contents of the hail before responding::
OPS Burton says:
::Rerouting power to the comm array::
XO Bodine says:
COM: Tevan: Eastwood: That's Affirmative Captain this is Lt. Commander Bodine, commanding in IO did you receive our probe yet sir?
Host Capt Regnum says:
ACTION: The View screen shows the probe exiting the other side of the tunnel, the U.S.S. Tevan can be seen for about 30 seconds before the gates shut down and the transmission is lost.
OPS Burton says:
XO: It would appear that the test went well sir.
Host Capt Regnum says:
OPS: Indeed, and to my gratitude, we were obviously able to have subspace communications with a ship on the other side.
TO MJDoole says:
XO: Engineering reports no ill effects.... at least not to the probe.
Host Capt Regnum says:
ACTION: The Gate now glows blue and a green vortex appears inside it spiraling in the opposite direction.
XO Bodine says:
OPS: Mr. Burton, establish an open channel with the Tevan please. 
OPS Burton says:
XO: Aye sir. ::Opens the channel::
Host Capt Regnum says:
<Captain Eastwood> COM: IO: This is Captain Eastwood again, we received your probe, our engineers are studying the data it collected now, our matching probe has been launched through the gate, should be getting to you in about 5 minutes.
XO Bodine says:
Regnum: Well my Friend, at least we know we might be able to improve long-range communication sir. Exciting?
Host Capt Regnum says:
XO: Very John, but I'll be more excited when we traverse that distance ourselves.
XO Bodine says:
COM: Tevan: Understood Captain, we'll do the same sir.
OPS Burton says:
XO: We will have to study a way to keep the gate open permanently sir.
Host Capt Regnum says:
OPS: That wouldn't be wise Lieutenant.
XO Bodine says:
CNS: How does this thing draw is power Counselor?
Host Capt Regnum says:
ACTION: A Class 2 probe emerges from the vortex and moments later the gate shuts down.
CNS Rose says:
XO: It has a warp core sir.
XO Bodine says:
OPS: Download all the Incoming Probes Memory banks. Then request the finding from the Tevan, put it into a comparison chart and send it to the CNS for a final analysis.
XO Bodine says:
OPS: Send a copy to the center console for Captain Regnum as well.
OPS Burton says:
::Downloads the memory banks and transfer the contents to the center console:: XO: Done sir.
CNS Rose says:
XO: The glow is the charging of the core. It is able to generate antimatter using the metreon gas in the Briar Patch.
XO Bodine says:
CNS: Interesting, I shudder to think what a core breach would do with a open conduit..
Host Capt Regnum says:
CNS/XO: Which is exactly why the Briar Patch was chosen as a location for the gate. 
XO Bodine says:
CNS: Study the contents of both reports please, have the TO help you.
Host Capt Regnum says:
<<<<<<<<<< Time Warp, 2 hours later the IO is ready to try the gate >>>>>>>>>>
Host Capt Regnum says:
XO: Ready to make some history Commander?
TO MJDoole says:
CO: Shields up?
XO Bodine says:
Regnum: I am sir.
Host Capt Regnum says:
XO: I would strongly not recommend shields, with our shields up we won't fit through the gate, and the shields could destabilize the vortex.
OPS Burton says:
::Prepares for entry into the gate::

XO Bodine says:
TO: I will concur with Captain Regnum. Structural Integrity, inertial dampeners to maximum. All Hands Condition Blue.
XO Bodine says:
COM: Tevan: CO: We are about to attempt the trip Captain. IO Out.
TO MJDoole says:
::Sounds Condition Blue throughout the ship::
Host Capt Regnum says:
ACTION: The panels on the walls glow blue as the crew readies for this travel. The Gate is activated and the yellow vortex is now before the ship.
OPS Burton says:
::Monitors the power readings of the IO::
Host Capt Regnum says:
::Takes the XO chair and braces for transwarp travel::
XO Bodine says:
TO: Recommended Speed?
Host Capt Regnum says:
<Captain Eastwood> # COM: IO: Understood Commander, see you in a few minutes.
TO MJDoole says:
XO: Recommend Maneuvering Thrusters only
XO Bodine says:
CNS: You heard em, ease us in Counselor.
TO MJDoole says:
XO: Just the entering ones. Just as if we were docking back home.
CNS Rose says:
XO: Aye sir. ::Uses maneuvering thrusters to move the IO into the Vortex::
Host Capt Regnum says:
ACTION: The IO moves slowly toward the gate, as the front of the ship dips into the event horizon, the crew feels a momentary lurch forward before the Inertial Dampers can compensate as the ship is accelerated to warp and pulled into the gate.
XO Bodine says:
::Grips his chair for the ride::
TO MJDoole says:
ALL: Hang on to your butts. Here we go!
Host Capt Regnum says:
ACTION: The ship is traveling through a green tunnel that bends its way through subspace.
OPS Burton says:
::Continues to watch the power monitors::
Host Capt Regnum says:
ACTION: The tunnel speeds by as the ship travels faster then it ever has before towards the legendary Delta Triangle, nearly 200 light-years from home.....
Host Capt Regnum says:
