CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@::on the planet:::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: Standing next Sulek, looking around::
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: back on ship going over some possible ideals to collapse the gravity well::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Molina: Please show us the histories you mentioned.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
::On Bridge.::
Molina says:
@CO: They are a little deeper in the caves...::leads them in::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: Activating her tricorder, she follows a few steps behind Sulek::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@::follows::
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
OPS: Any luck yet?
Sec_Ens_Rast says:
@ :: Trying not to yawn ::
Molina says:
@CO: Here we are...as you can see, it shows the evolution, or lack of it, on this planet. The interesting part is here, where there is the large sun - or star - that appears to come very close to this planet. Also of note is the apparent alien pointing at the aforementioned star/sun
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: Steps closer as she continues to scan the rock, sending the data to the ship.::
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: He and Loran confer in the rear of the Bridge ::

@ACTION: A large rock falls from the cavern roof, and lands right in Rast's foot.

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: does a quick scan on the orbit of all the planets in the system and checks to see how much their orbits have changed since the gravity well has appeared:: XO: Not sure if I would call it luck yet Commander I am still seeing how much all the orbits in the system has changed and what changes would be made if we affected them any more
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@Molina: Thank you.
Sec_Ens_Rast says:
@ :: Mutters a few loud curse words ::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@:: Turns:: Rast: Are you alright?
Sec_Ens_Rast says:
@ CNS: I think.. I think I'm trapped...
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
OPS: Make sure science gets your data. We need to get to the bottom of this.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@Rast: Will you require medical assistance?
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
XO: Aye Commander :: sends his finding to the Science department::
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
CSO: Were you able to learn anything more about the well?
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
::running all types of different science scans::
Sec_Ens_Rast says:
@ :: Motions at the large rock holding his foot down ::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: Steps over to the tactical officer to lend a hand.::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@::looks at Azhure:: Azhure: Interesting. What do you think?
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: Carefully shifts the rock.::
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
XO: No more than it's massive, because it's pulling two planets into it, so you should keep the ship away from it
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: Kneels down and scans the foot.::
CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
:: at engineering trying to find out more about the planets situation ::
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
CSO: I am aware; we need options on closing or negation of its effects.

@ACTION: As Azhure moves the rock, Rast begins bleeding badly from the smashed foot

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CSO: I have run scans of all the orbits of all the planets in the system and while there has been some changes in them so far the changes have been almost imperceptible at this time.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
::going over new data sent by OPS::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: Grabs the medical kit.:: Rast: Sit down...
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
OPS: Ya got something I don't know?
Sec_Ens_Rast says:
@ CNS: Oh... that smarts... actually, it doesn't. Can't really feel it... :: knows better than to look ::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Opening up the kit, pulls out various supplies to stop the bleeding.:: Rast: I believe your stay is going to be short.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@::notes the blood:: Rast: We will need to get you to sickbay.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@*Quirinus*: Sulek to Quirinus
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
*CEO*: Bridge to Engineering if you can conduct your sims on the bridge it may be easier to brainstorm ideas.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: Having removed the shoe, she cleans the wound and then applies a sealant for now.:: Rast: The ship will see to the rest.
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CSO: I wish I did but at the moment short of shoving another planet into the well or possibly setting off some massive explosions to close the well I have nothing.
CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
*XO*: Understood. I am heading to the bridge, Commander. :: leaves engineering ::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@*Qurinus*: Sulek to Quirinus
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ ::Takes the hypo and adjusts it for a pain killer. Injecting it, she then stands.:: Rast: You will be all right.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
OPS: Bout what I got partner. Hey, what about sending in a volley of specially made quantum torpedoes to blow up from the inside of this thing? Maybe disrupt it somehow?
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
*CO*: This is the Quirinus, Captain.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
::begins running simulations to that fact on the screen in front of him to see what happens::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: steps back to her captain, time of the essence.:: CO: Above the star... :: turns to point:: there is some kind of formula.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
::Turns to talk to tactical but stops at the Captains hail.::
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
::Goes to stand near Ops.::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@*Twelk*: Can transporter get a lock on Rast? We have an injury and he needs transport to sickbay.
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CSO: I am afraid anything short of a couple of warp core explosions wouldn't even make a dent in it
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
::Breaks into the conversation:: *Sulek*: Is everyone else alright Sir? What happened?
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ *CSO*: There is a degraded formula above the star in the pictures sent. Can the computer make any sense of it?
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Listens in on the conversation, now that it's blasting over the Bridge's speakers, hoping Rast is ok ::
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
*CO* : Aye Captain locking onto him now. :: contacts the transporter room and sickbay informing them of the injured crewman needing transport ::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@::he turns to face the hieroglyphs and stares at them:: *Twelk* A rock has damaged his foot. We are fine.
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
Loran: I'll be back shortly. :: As he exits the Bridge, he taps his combadge, calling for Gren to take over on the surface ::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@::he reaches out and touches the cave drawings as if suddenly drawn to them::
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
*CO*: Understood Captain they should be transporting now.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
*CO*: Sending replacement now Sir.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@*Havaris*: Understood...Sulek...out...

ACTION: Rast is transported to the Sickbay

XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
Powers: Please report to the planet to cover.
CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
:: arrives to the bridge and takes his position at his console :: XO: Ready, Commander. What can I do for help?
TO_Lt_Loran says:
:: Looks up at the XO :: XO: Ma'am, Commander Powers has departed the Bridge.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
::brings up pics:: OPS: Come take a look at these distortions in the pics the CNS just sent::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@::into space....this has happened before...there was a time....his mind comes caught almost in a daydream::
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
@*CNS*: Looking at the pictures now.
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: moves to the CSO's console:: CSO: Any ideal what they might be?
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: The turbolift dumps him close to Sickbay, and he crosses into the ward, where he sees Rast laying while a technician works at his foot ::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: Turns... quietly:: CO: Sulek?
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
::Glances up from looking at the console:: *Powers*: Bridge to Commander Powers, your man Rast was injured by a falling rock, he's in sickbay and fine but the Captain needs a replacement officer. Report to the planet to cover.
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CEO: Chief you might want to look at this as well.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@::the planet has been through this before...he runs his hands along the bright sun and then to the pointing alien::
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
CEO: Not much I'm afraid, I need you to set up simulations with science to discover effective ways of closing this well.
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
*XO*: Acknowledged.... Marcus: How is he?
Med_Tech_Marcus says:
CSec: Commander... he'll be fine, but will need to be on rest for a while. We'll let him keep you up to date on his recovery. Now if you'll excuse us, we have work to do....
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Powers nods, then makes eye contact with Rast :: Sec: I know you've wanted some time off, but this is an extreme way to go about it. I'll check back in later, guess I'm taking your place.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@::the key to saving the worlds is there...it lies with the aliens...but he is not sure what they are or if they are any longer there...his eyes focus and he is back.::
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
OPS: What have you got Ops? ::Goes over to stand with CEO, CSO and OPS::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: quietly and patiently watches:: CO: The picture spoke to you?
CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
XO/OPS/CSO: I can run also some simulations in the holodeck? We maybe have time to work out some solution
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@Azhure: This has happened once before. The aliens.. they know.
Sec_Ens_Rast says:
CSec: Better hurry before something happens to them.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
CEO/CSO/OPS: First we need ideas on what simulations we're going to run. We need to understand this well enough to know what will stop it. Do we? From what I can tell it would take such a massive energy outlay as to take out one of the planets, at least.
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
XO: These are some pictures that the CNS has sent back. :: moves back so that the XO can see::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ CO: I do not recognize the aliens.
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
Rast: Right, right. :: Takes off from Sickbay, heading right to the transporter room ::
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
::Looks at the pictures.::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@Azhure: Neither do I. ::he scans the pictures again and this time notes that there is a badly degraded magnetic component.::
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
XO: We have a couple of ideals that we need to run some simulations on to see even if they will work Commander and hopefully this data that we have been sent can help as well.
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Once in the transporter room, he tells the operator to beam him down near the location of the away team ::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@CO: There is a possibility that formula is the coordinates of their location.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@Azhure: ::shows her the readings:: They may have left us a message.
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
@:: Materializes near the away team ::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Twelk* Transferring possible ancient code...badly degraded. See if you can make anything of it.
Sec_Ens_Gren says:
@:: Materializes near the away team ::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@CO: Us?
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
@:: Turns to look at the security officer, then realizes :: Gren: Dang, I asked you to come down, and then Commander Havaris ordered me to.
Sec_Ens_Gren says:
@CSec: Good one, Commander.
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
*CO*: Aye Captain I will get the computer working on it right away. :: watches as the data comes in and starts the computer working on decoding it as well as trying to fill in the degraded parts::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@Azhure: Well any to come that have the ability to see the remnants that are left behind.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
CEO/OPS/CSO: Excellent input this new information and let's see what it does to our simulations.
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
XO: Aye Commander if you need us we will be in the holodeck.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ CO: One could wish they had left it in something more stable.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
OPS/CEO/CSO: This appears as though this alien race is responsible. CSO: Are we sure we're alone here?
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@*Starr*: There is a picture of an alien in the pictures we transmitted. See if you can identify the species.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
::looks at the pictures again.::
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
CEO/OPS/CSO: We need the computer to finish its analysis of the formula anyway.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ *OPS*: I need some paper and soft lead.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
XO: No, but one can never, never doubt, what one is never, never sure about
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
::goes to the holodeck with the CEO and OPS::
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
XO: From what I have been able to see so far Commander this was done a long time ago and from what I have seen so far it may be the answer to our problem.
CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
:: follows also the OPS and CSO to the holodeck, leaves the bridge ::
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
*CNS*: How much Commander and how soft of lead?
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
::Remaining on the bridge just in case, as alternate officers take over duty positions.::*CEO/OPS/CSO*: And in this picture there are eight planets, we seem to be missing one. Perhaps this plugged the gap so to speak?
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
@:: Silently wonders where his wife went wrong in this little logic trail ::
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
*XO*: We shall see, Commander. We shall see.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
*CSO*: Keep me informed. Bridge out.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
::This is the part she hated, waiting she'd done what she could. She sat in the command chair and called up the data so far to review it as others followed their leads.::
CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
*XO*: Maybe that's a clue of our mystery. We will keep you inform, Commander
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
*XO*: That is possible Commander while we haven't decoded all of the data it is looking like a formula to movie a large stellar body.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@*OPS*: Paper about 0 x 10 and soft enough not to destroy deteriorating rock.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
*CEO*: Acknowledged. Bridge Out.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
*OPS*: That's what I think as well, I look forward to further breakthroughs. Bridge out.
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
*CNS*: Roger commander sending down the paper and some number 2 pencils. :: contacts his department and has them send down the requested items to the AT::
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
Loran: Sensors still clear?
TO_Lt_Loran says:
XO: Except for that gaping maw of gravity, ma'am.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
Loran: Well yes. ::She says seriously.:: except for that....
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
::Wonders if the best idea really is to move an empty planet at the well. Continues to review the data as routine reports from around here.::
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CSO/CEO: According to the Computer this information that the captain has sent from Marcella II looks to be a lengthy mathematical formula to move a stellar body. However it also shows a reference to a major climate change that has taken place on Marcella II as well.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: As soon as she receives the requested items, she steps close and carefully begins a type of rubbing, working gently, her senses stretched outward.::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@::watches as the counselor works::
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
OPS: Intriguing
TO_Lt_Loran says:
XO: Commander?
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CSO: What I am wondering is whether this climate change made an inhabitable planet habitable? And if we use these figures as they appear now will we make a habitable planet uninhabitable?
TO_Lt_Loran says:
XO: As expected, the gravity effects seem to be increasing the closer the planets get to the well.
CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
OPS/CSO: And what? We can take advantage of the major climate changes of the Marcella II to work out in a formula in order to move a stellar body in this case Marcella?
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
Loran: Has that altered our timeline yet?
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: Steps back and holds the paper out to view it.:: CO: They are a bit clearer... there are some of the missing parts.
TO_Lt_Loran says:
XO: Did your science officer take the acceleration into account when he calculated the timetable?
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CEO: I am not sure however we may need to adjust these figures somewhat.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CEO/OPS: or did someone create this phenomenon, in order to bring one of the other planets in the system to make it habitable disregarding the consequences to Marcella I and II?
CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
OPS: That's is something that we need to work it out, Commander
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CSO: Good point Commander.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: Scans it.:: *CSO*: Incoming.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
Loran: I believe so however with something this serious perhaps he should run the numbers again. *CSO*: Havaris to Starr, we need an updated timeline for point of no return on the well. Sensors indicate some change.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
Duty Ops: Please run those pictures from the captain through our database, see if we get any hits.
