Ship's Log, Stardate 12005.03, Captain Ayidee recording.  The crew is preparing an attemot to break the wormhole free of its anchor to our universe.  The hope, the belief rather, is that breaking the anchor will stop the chronoton flow that has already disturbed the natural time flow of this area.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*All Hands*: Report readiness to carry out the operation.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
::In his place on the bridge waiting for the show to start::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::The launch program shows ready, blinking green::  CO:  Sir, Torpedo Launch program is ready.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::at OPS:: CO:  Ready for your orders,

Host Arfreseit says:
Arfreseit ::Stands to the side, observing with Barhatsu.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<TO> CO: Tactical systems are ready, Captain.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Then if we are ready.
OPS: Launch the operation on your readiness.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::begins the operation at hand.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  Sir, the program will run loading the warheads, and then loading port torpedo tube for Chroniton and then the starboard tube for anti-Chroniton, in alternating order, until all 24 torps are fired.  Once positioned, another program run for simultaneous detonation

ACTION: The torpedoes start launching and moving into position.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Understood.  From an Astrophysics viewpoint, as far as my "theoretical knowledge" is up to date, the plan seems sound.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  Aye Sir!

Host Arfreseit says:
All: I've been briefed on the plan.  Not sure I understand it, but those of my people who do understand seem to think it will work.  I hope they are right.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
Arfreseit: It will work, Sir.  I have all the confidence in the galaxy in our crew.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  Sir, sensors show all the torps fired are on station to the event horizon.

Host Arfreseit says:
CNS: Confidence is something I do understand, and do appreciate.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO: ...12 to go to launch.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Very good.  Once in position we can move on to the detonation stage.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO/OPS:  The program has run, torpedo bays are clear.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Time to target location for the last torpedo?

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  40 seconds Sir!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SO: Ensure long range sensors record this.  For future study.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<SO> CO: Aye sir.

ACTION: The Torpedoes reach the wormhole perimeter.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO/OPS:  Program run for detonation is ready, the program will also make a safe distancing maneuver to be clear, 

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*All*: All hands, prepare for torpedo detonation.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Engage the program, let's make this happen.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::turns his console chair towards the view screen::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
::Keeping quiet to allow the crew to do their tasks undistracted::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::engages the program, hoping for a positive outcome::

ACTION: The torpedoes explode in the predetermined pattern, causing a large light display on sensors.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<SO> All: Sensors monitoring the wormhole.  Event horizon appears to be diminishing, now at 72% of initial.  50%...40%.  It appears to be working.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::to himself::  Yes!

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
::Impressed by the explosion:: Self: Whoa.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
All:  This will give Starfleet Science something to analyze for years to come!

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
All: Did it work?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<SO> All: Sensors are detecting a final "expulsion" of chronotons.  It appears to be minimal, but may affect local conditions.  Atmospheric vehicle captains would call it "turbulence".

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Temporal Mechanics are not my specialty, but it appears so.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<SO> CNS: Captain's specialty may not be temporal mechanics, mine either, but I know enough to say yeah, it appears to have worked.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
Crew/CEO: Well done, everyone.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<aFCO> All: Small subspace wave incoming, shields should be more than enough to cover and it should be too weak to penetrate the planet's atmosphere.  Still, might get a touch rough here in a few seconds.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CNS:  Thank you Lieutenant  ::grins::

ACTION: The subspace wave impacts the shields, caushing the ship to rock a bit.  It passes after a few moments as the wave dissipates.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Reading the sensor readings from the wave::  All: Minor issues with the ODN and power conduits, but manageable.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
Arfreseit/Barhatsu:  Well, gentlemen, welcome to the neighborhood.  It looks like you're staying.

Host Arfreseit says:
CNS/ All: Thank you, we appreciate the chance to join your people moving forward.  To getting a chance to know you.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
Arfreseit:  I'm also looking forward to getting to know you better Sir! 

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
Arfreseit: Yes, now that we have the time.  ::Smiles::

ACTION: The Anarch Anti chronoton fleet launches from the atmosphere and heads back to the chronoton heavy area to resume "normalizing" them.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Nice work, and yes, this will give the scientists much to study in the near future.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: Bring us back into standard orbit around Anarch.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Nice work, the plan worked.  Is there anything we yet need to do to ensure the plan succeeded?

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  Thank you Sir!  Well, we can launch another probe and record the last activity of the wormhole closing.  The Anarchian ships sensors will also record their surroundings, I believe that should suffice our scientific duty.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Agreed.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SO: Prepare a probe for launch to observe the wormhole's closing.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<SO> CO: Aye Captain.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: This opens up some opportunities for getting to know our new neighbors better.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  Sir:  ODN and power conduits are all within nominal operating limits.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Excellent.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CO: Yes, it does.  I'm looking forward to it too.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<SO> All: Probe approaching the wormhole.  Readings indicate it is in its final stages, should be closed and sealed within a few hours at most.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Just got word that the USS Metternich reports they will be going to Anarch to continue diplomatic efforts.  Further orders will be coming soon from Starfleet HQ,

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Understood.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Arfreseit: Minister, it seems out time here is limited.  It was an honor making contact with you.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CO/OPS: I was hoping we would be the ones to continue diplomatic efforts.  That's disappointing but, at least now we can visit.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: That is the cost of service, duty determines many of our choices and timelines.
