INCOMING TRANSMISSION
STARFLEET PERSONNEL, SAN FRANCISCO, EARTH
PRIORITY ONE COMMUNIQUE
AUTHORIZATION GAMMA-BETA-1794-TANGO

Host Steve says:
TO: Captain Varel Torbin, Commanding Officer - USS Claymore
FROM: Admiral William Crenshaw, Starfleet Command
DATE: Stardate: 10005.09
RE: Mission Orders

Host Steve says:
Captain Torbin:

The USS Claymore has finished her post refit shakedown and is ready for active duty.

Host Steve says:
We have just recieved word that the USS Vestal - NCC 1112, Miranda Class starship, was just reported missing in the nebula known as the Centaur Expanse. As you know, the Centaur expanse is a unique nebula in that its chemical make up is vastly different than any other nebula in the Alpha or Beta quadrant.

Host Steve says:
High quantities of Hydrogen and Oxygen, in addition of the usual gasses and discharge typically found in star-bearing strata meaning that floating within the newborn stars are also rogue "planets" of water. Some of these are as small as some comets while others have been detected that are as large as Luna.

Host Steve says:
The USS Claymore is to proceed from Starbase 23, after recieving additional crew and specialists, and proceed to the Centaur Expanse and find out what happened to the USS Vestal.

Host Steve says:
Upon completion of this mission, report to Betazed and assignment under 5th Fleet Command.
Good luck and Gods speed

Admiral William Crenshaw
Starfleet Command

CSO_Kalyn_Rillian says:
::Routes coordinates to the Conn::

TO_Booker says:
Guest: do you need help

CO_Torbin says:
CSO: Understood..  record it's message and prepare to play it over the bridge speakers

CO_Torbin says:
*CEO* Go ahead Mr. Tyfair

Kris_Hall says:

CSO_Kalyn_Rillian says:
CO: Aye. ::Begins recording message for play back on speakers::

XO_Hall says:

TO_Booker says:
*CTO* Two more are going to CB 2 sir

CMO_Jazz_Kavichi says:
*XO*: She was looking for a Dr. Jo looked to be about 8 and human.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
*Torbin* Sir, I took the liberty of tweaking the shields a little, you'll get a little bit more speed than you would with normal shields.

CTO_von_Roth says:
*TO*:Very well try and help them

CO_Torbin says:
::nods::  CTO: Granted..  I have no idea what to expect and I don't want to get caught offguard

CTO_von_Roth says:
CO: aye aye sir ::heads back to his station::

TO_Booker says:
Guest: can you come whis my

CO_Torbin says:
*CEO* Acknowledged..  We're raising shields now...  ::nods to the CTO to bring the ship to full Yellow Alert status::

CTO_von_Roth says:
*All Hands*: Yellow Alert, This is not a drill.  Second Watch report to your Station

XO_Hall says:
CSO:  I will be with you shortly.  Please scan the nebula and bring up the inner region of it.  Lets see if we can mapp it somewhat.

CTO_von_Roth says:
::brings tac system to yellow alert status and has second watch of tactical system to report to duty::

XO_Hall says:
*CMO*  That would be my daughter.  I will have some one deal with it.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
*Torbin*  Tyfair out.

Kris_Hall says:
::hears the yellow alert and runs the rest of the way to the mess hall::

CO_Torbin says:
FCO: Helm, bring us to a stop a safe distance away from the nebula

CSO_Kalyn_Rillian says:
CO: Sir, all I'm getting is the USS Vestal, NCC 1112.  Coordinates were fed to the Conn.

CMO_Jazz_Kavichi says:
::hears the alarm::  Sick bay:  You heard the  man... sounds like we are  going to be  busy.   head to your stations  MOVE!

CTO_von_Roth says:
::scans area for hostial and unkown ships::

TO_Booker says:
*CTO* what is going on sir

CO_Torbin says:
CSO: Understood...  now see what you and Mr. Hall can do about getting us a safe route to where that ship went down

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::When the shields are up, brings the modifications online::

CTO_von_Roth says:
*TO*: About to enter the nebula the ships at yellow alert.  Make sure our guest stay safe

Host Steve says:
ACTION:  THE CLAYMORE STOPS JUST OUTSIDE THE NEBULA

CSO_Kalyn_Rillian says:
CO: Aye.

CTO_von_Roth says:
::runs checks on all tac systems::

Kris_Hall says:
::gets to the mess hall/lounge, grabs a glass of milk and some cookies and takes a seat on the floor infront of one of the big windows to watch::

XO_Hall says:
CSO:  Scan the nebula.  Can we map it?

CSO_Kalyn_Rillian says:
XO: I'm picking up the location of the Vestal inside a frozen mass of water.  Called Planetoid 113 Charile.

TO_Booker says:
:: All gurst are going back to there room ::

CSO_Kalyn_Rillian says:
XO:  I can pull up the current map of the nebula, but I can't do much else with our sensors.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Begins lowering the intake on the Bussard collectors, readying to get in the thick of things::

TO_Booker says:
*CTO* yes sir

CTO_von_Roth says:
::notice the guards arrive on the bridge armed with type II phaser rifles::

CO_Torbin says:
CTO: Mr. von Roth, what do you say we take this opportunity to find out what that Prism team is here for...

XO_Hall says:
CSO:  Bring up the map and pin point the location of the Vestal.

CTO_von_Roth says:
<edit Type II Phasers>

CSO_Kalyn_Rillian says:
::Brings up the map on the view screen and highlights the location of the Vestal:: XO: Done, Sir.

Host Steve says:
ACTION:  THE CSO'S PLOT ALSO OUTLINES THE MOST PROBABLE APPROACH TO THE PLANETOID

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Notices four Security Personnel enter Engineering with phaser rifles, walks over and addresses the ranking one::  Guard #1: What are you doing here?

Kris_Hall says:
::stares out the window and is soon joined by 2 younger kids::

XO_Hall says:
::looks at map::

CMO_Jazz_Kavichi says:
:: glad she had her  trama kits prepared::  self:: never fails  I get the trama kits ready and what happens?  trouble....

CTO_von_Roth says:
<guard>CEO: Its yellow alert sir

TO_Booker says:
*CTO* All gurst are going back to there room.

CTO_von_Roth says:
*TO*Very well

CO_Torbin says:
::raises an eyebrow at the CTO awaiting a response::

TO_Booker says:
:: TO look at the room ::

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
Guard1:  Your point?  I asked you what you were doing near sensitive equipment with phaser rifles?

CTO_von_Roth says:
CO: where to sir?

Kris_Hall says:
::shares her cookies and talks to the security lady's kid about life in starfleet::

CSO_Kalyn_Rillian says:
::Looks at the CO and XO awaiting orders::

CO_Torbin says:
:::grins::  *Samuelson* Captain Torbin to Commander Samuelson..  Can I see you in my ready room please?

CTO_von_Roth says:
<guard>CEO:I am here incase we are board. If you have a probelm you can talk to Commander von Roth or the captain

XO_Hall says:
CO:  Sir, we have plotted a course.  Suggest we enter the nebula at 1/4 impulse.  This is so that we can manuveur quickly and not collide with anything.

Host Steve says:
<Samuelson>  *CO* On my way captain.....

CO_Torbin says:
::stands and motions for the CTO to follow::  XO: We will be in my ready room chatting with the prism commander Number 1..

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
Guard:  Oh.. we are going into a nebula, and we are going to be boarded.  Yeah Right.  Please get out of Engineering, now.

CO_Torbin says:
XO: I want to find out what they are doing here before we proceed into the nebula...

CTO_von_Roth says:
::follows the CO::

XO_Hall says:
CO:  Aye sir.

CO_Torbin says:
::enters his RR and sits down behind the new desk, frowning at the shine of it::

CSO_Kalyn_Rillian says:
::Uses LRS to pull up any further information on the Vestal and it's condition::

TO_Booker says:
:: TO look at the guest room ::

Host Steve says:
<Samuelson>  ::crosses the bridge and enters the RR::  CO:  Yes, Sir

CTO_von_Roth says:
::waits for the door to close::CO: Valer I do not like this one bit

CSO_Kalyn_Rillian says:
::Scans the Vestal for life forms::

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Waits for the Guard to answer::

CO_Torbin says:
Samuelson: Have a seat Commander..  the Admiral mentioned there had been a change in plans, but didn't elaborate..  Care to tell us exactly why PRISM is required for this mission?  ::fixes a stare on the Commander::

CTO_von_Roth says:
<Guard>CEO: No can do sir. Commander von Roth out ranks you

CSO_Kalyn_Rillian says:
XO: Sir, I'm picking up some debris in orbit around the water planetoid.  It seems to be a nacelle of the vestal.

CTO_von_Roth says:
::stands off to the side::

Host Steve says:
<Samuelson>  ::looks over at the CTO and then back at the CO::  Present company excluded of course

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
Guard:  Not in Engineering.. but if you are too dense to know that particle weapons in Main Engineering is against regulations so be it.

CSO_Kalyn_Rillian says:
XO: But I am unable to determine the exact location of the vestal within the planetoid or any lifesigns from the ship.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
*von Roth* Tyfair to von Roth..

XO_Hall says:
CSO:  Can we retrieve it without entering the Nebula?

Kris_Hall says:
::gets up for more milk and notices there are 2 extra security gurads at the door::

TO_Booker says:
*CEO* are you OK down there

CTO_von_Roth says:
<Guard>CEO: If you wish we can stand out side the door

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
Guard: Go for it... knock yourself out, just get out of my Engine Room

CTO_von_Roth says:
*CEO*:yes?

CO_Torbin says:
::notices the Commander's glance::  Samuelson: Commander von Roth is the Chief Tactical Officer on this ship, so I consider him as having whatever passes for the need to know...

Kris_Hall says:
::sits back down and questions the 2 other kids:;

CTO_von_Roth says:
<guard>CEO: yes sir ::post outside the door::

CSO_Kalyn_Rillian says:
XO: No, sir.  The debris is too far into the nebula.  We'd have to go inside to get it.

Host Steve says:
<Samuelson>  ::frowns::  We are on a recovery mission

Host Steve says:
<Samuelson>  The vestal is carrying something....vital...that we need to recover

CO_Torbin says:
::oh man, this is like pulling teeth::  Samuelson: And what would that something be?

XO_Hall says:
CSO:  Understood.  we will have to wait until we have further orders from the Captain Torbin.

Host Steve says:
<Samuelson>  CO:  That is all I am at liberty to say - anything else would be for your ears only

CO_Torbin says:
Samuelson: And for that matter, how do you know it hasn't already been destroyed?

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
*von Roth* Commander, next time you try to assign Armed guards in Main Engineering, check your regs.  No Particle weapons in Main Engineering.  I don't want to see them in the Engine room with phaser rifles or any weapon again.

Kris_Hall says:
Tina: hey! do you see that?        <Tina> Kris: what? where!

CTO_von_Roth says:
::looks at the CO and wonders if he should inform Samuelson of his past assignment::

CSO_Kalyn_Rillian says:
::Can sense the CO's frustration.  Tries to read their "visitor"::

CO_Torbin says:
::looks at the CTO and nods in answer, as if reading his mind, but wondering if it will do again good::

XO_Hall says:
*Mapril*  Hall to Mapril.

TO_Booker says:
:: TO look at the guest room ::

CTO_von_Roth says:
::double his combadge in resonce to ceo last transmission::

Kris_Hall says:
Tina: I thought I saw something out the window.. maybe a shiney rock.. I don't know

CTO_von_Roth says:
Samulson: How is Admiral Wolfe?

XO_Hall says:
<Mapril>  *Hall*  Mapril here.

CMO_Jazz_Kavichi says:
*XO*:  Sorry to disturb you sir. But  that girl i todl you about I took her to the child care area but I have a funny feeling  that she may not stay there.  You seemed to know her, sir.

Host Steve says:
::regards the CTO with distaste::  CTO:  Isnt there some phaser rifle you should be polishing?

CSO_Kalyn_Rillian says:
::Frowns in frustration, realizing that she can't put her finger on the purpose of having Prism here.  Takes a deep breath and tries again::

XO_Hall says:
*CMO*  She is my daughter. Could you escort her to my quarters.  Lt. Cmdr. Jaquline Mapril should be there.  Please leave Kris in her care.

Kris_Hall says:
<Tina> ::shifts on the floor and stares at her brother::  Kris: I didn't see anything.. Hey Larry.. wanna play over on the table?

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Goes over to console, sets up a quick surveilance program for Cargo Bay 2, before proceeding about his work::

CTO_von_Roth says:
::looks at samulson::Samulson: nope but I believe the captain ask you a question......

CMO_Jazz_Kavichi says:
*XO*: Yes sir...   Kavichi out.

Kris_Hall says:
<Larry> ::stands up from the floor:: Tina: yep! come on!

TO_Booker says:
*CTO* sir the woman is in CB 2 sir

Kris_Hall says:
::watches them leave and shrugs.. stares back out the window::

CMO_Jazz_Kavichi says:
self:  Now where is that   litttle :: uninteliagble ::  kid.....

Host Steve says:
CO:  With all due respect, I have my orders.  You cannot order me to disobey them, because this mission will go on with or without you knowing.

CTO_von_Roth says:
::turns of his combadge::

CO_Torbin says:
::is becoming annoyed::  Samuelson: Fine, I can understand you have orders and responsibilities, but I also have mine, so I need to know two things...

CSO_Kalyn_Rillian says:
::Keeps an eye on LRS while stying to read the "guest" in the captain ready room::

TO_Booker says:
*CTO* on my way sir

XO_Hall says:
*Mapril*  Jackie, the CMO is going to bring Kris to our quarters.  Make sure she stays there.

CO_Torbin says:
Samuelson: One, are you 100% sure that this object, whatever it is, is still on that ship?

CTO_von_Roth says:
<< of = off>>

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Tyfair quickly glances at the data on Cargo Bay 2, and stops, and goes back to surveilance program, watching what's going on in Cargo Bay 2::

CO_Torbin says:
Samuelson: And second, will us retrieving it present any danger to my ship or crew?  And if so, what is it now so I can make the necessary preparations

XO_Hall says:
<Mapril>  *Hall*  Alright Will.  Mapril out.

CMO_Jazz_Kavichi says:
::heads to the child lab but find her gone and begins to look , mubling   her 'feelings' on this assignement the whole way::

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
Self:  Well, well, well... Computer, catalogue as many pieces of equipment as you can from these read outs, log all date in my personal encrypted area, list all unknowns as well.

Host Steve says:
<Samuelson>  CO:  If we were sure it was destroyed, we wouldnt be out here.....and it only presents a problem if your crew gets in our way, Captain.  We've been trained to handle this sort of thing

Kris_Hall says:
::stands up and puts glass away and heads for the door.. the security guards smile and ignore her as she heads back into the hall::

CMO_Jazz_Kavichi says:
computer: locate   executive officer Hall's   daughter.

CO_Torbin says:
Samuelson: Very well..  we are at a full stop outside the nebula for the moment..  How do you need to us to proceed?

CTO_von_Roth says:
Samuelson: will you require any support from my department?

CSO_Kalyn_Rillian says:
::Leans back in her chair, turning her attention to the others on the bridge::

CMO_Jazz_Kavichi says:
<computer>:  mess hall...

Kris_Hall says:
::paces past the Turbo Lift ::

Host Steve says:
<Samuelson>  CO:  Take us to the Vestal.  We can brief you and your officers further once there

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Monitors the visual feed, wondering what in blue blazes Prism is doing::

CMO_Jazz_Kavichi says:
self:  oh great... what did she do go out for pizza? :: heads there::   I'm a docotr not a   babysitter... ::grumbles::

CO_Torbin says:
Samuelson: Very well..  unless my CTO has any other questions, you're dismissed

XO_Hall says:
::sits down in XO chair and tries to get comfortable.  turns to his monitor and begins going over the nebula information::

CMO_Jazz_Kavichi says:
:: walks into the mess hall::

TO_Booker says:
:: TO get to CB 2: Woman: stop and come whis my now

Host Steve says:
CTO:  Nothing until called upon...and make sure none of them goes into Cargo Bay 2

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Checks the catalogue file the computer is creating and is puzzled::  Self:  What are they preparing for?

Host Steve says:
<Rodgers>  TO:  I beg your pardon?  ::looks insulted::

CMO_Jazz_Kavichi says:

Kris_Hall says:
::walks the hallways in circles playing with a small phase aligner she found in the access tunnel that one of the EO's dropped:: self: out of callibrations.. amitures.. ::resets the settings::

CSO_Kalyn_Rillian says:
::Watches the XO for a moment.  Turns her attention to the FCO::

Host Steve says:
<Samuelson>  ::stands and leaves, heading back to his quarters::

CSO_Kalyn_Rillian says:
::Glances back at OPS......begins to wonder if she's the only one even the remotest bit nervous here::

Kris_Hall says:
::walsk past the CMO not talking to her::

CMO_Jazz_Kavichi says:
Kris: He has  umm asked me to take you  to his quarters where some one can look after you there.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Sees one piece of equipment catalogued::  Self:  They have got to be nuts...

XO_Hall says:

CO_Torbin says:
::turns to his CTO after Samuelson has left::  CTO: Well Manfred, what do you think?

CMO_Jazz_Kavichi says:
KRis:  hold it munchkin. ::grabs her shirt::

CMO_Jazz_Kavichi says:
<edit kris>

Kris_Hall says:
::grabs the CMO's uniform shirt, sets the aligner to a viberating frequecy and drops it down her pants::

XO_Hall says:
::continues to read info::

CO_Torbin says:
