SD 10301.14 Season Three Episode Twenty-nine (Mission #119) Gone Fishing Part 2

The USS Claymore has been ordered from Starbase 421 to the Pyrellia Star System to investigate the loss of contact with Subspace Relay Station Psi 5 Auriga. The last known contact with the Relay Station was with a Ferengi Ship requesting assistance. The Argus Array last spotted the relay station several days ago.

The USS Claymore entered the area with no trouble and began moving towards the last known coordinates of the Relay Station. The USS Claymore is brought to a dead stop with the engines grinding but not moving forward.

Cutting all power investigations begin to find what is causing the problems…one energy blast showed the USS Claymore to be surrounded by some sort of net. Several tactics were tried to find a way out of the net, which only trapped a shuttle in the netting.

An attempt to map the net with a discharge of energy from the deflector dish managed to open some sort of tube…a tube that the USS Claymore has been drawn into with no idea of where it ends or what waits on the other side.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Attempts to launch the information buoy he just prepared::

ACTION: The ship emerges on the other side.... the star field is definitely not the same as it was when the ride began.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
CIV: I'm back. You can go.

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
::Returns to the engineering station, checking for damage to the ship::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
ALL: Report!

TO_Kozak says:
::finishes unpacking in his room and heads out toward the TL::

ACTION: Instead of the sparse stars normally seen.... thousands upon thousands of stars fill the view screen.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::He looks over at the Chief Tactical officer, his eyes blurred and confuses. He looks down at his display as the "ride" began, and does his best to bring up Tactical scans of their new location:: XO: Minor casualty reports coming in...beginning full scans.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::enters bridge and rushes to the helm, relieving the crewman there::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
FCO: Get a fix on where we are.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO:  Can you get a bearing on our location?

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CSO:  Start scanning

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
CO: Yes sir.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
CIV:  Let me help.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::takes note of the view screen, begins checking astrometric database:: XO: Aye sir.

TO_Kozak says:
::gets onto the TL and starts thinking about how his first day on ship will go:: TL: Bridge please

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
::begins scans of new location::

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
XO: We have propulsion, Sir.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
CTO: I've got it for the moment...Ensign...::He looks down at the scans and then up at the Tac Officer:: Of course...::He motions towards the Tac II display and routes Tactical controls to the secondary display::

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Looks at the screen:: Self: That's odd... ::Waiting for what the CSO has to say as he goes through relays and power management to make sure everything is fine::

TO_Kozak says:
Self: Hmm also wonder what is going on...I guess I will find out soon enough

ACTION: Sickbay begins to fill with crewmen with motion sickness

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CEO: Any damage to the ship from our wild ride?

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
CIV: Thank you.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
CIV: Can you fill me in?

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
XO: Sir, I can't ascertain where we are, none of the stars are registering as explored or charted. ::double checks scans:: XO: Sir, I am not even sure we are in the same galaxy.

TO_Kozak says:
::gets of the TL and slowly heads towards the bridge...feeling a little bit nervous::

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
ALL: Ok everyone please form a single line

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
FCO: Can you get a reading from any relay stations?

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
CTO: Glad you could join us, Chief...::He sounds almost winded and dazed - and quite unimpressed:: ~~~CEO: Something tells me that was not the best of my ideas...~~~ ::His thoughts are broken as he looks up at Liko:: CTO: We detected the Ferengi vessel, moments before colliding with what appeared to be...well...ummm...an energy net?

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
::Quickly scans the readout before him, assessing the damage. It seems that they made it through the strange vortex in one piece:: XO: Nothing, sir. We're completely fine.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
XO: Negative Commander.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
OPS: What about communications? Anything?

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CSO:  What are reading?

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CEO: Acknowledged.

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
:: Walks to the hypospray, taps a few buttons ::

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
~~~CIV: I'm a telepath too. Just so you know.~~~

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
ALL: This will only take a second.

TO_Kozak says:
::steps onto the bridge and notices his fellow crewmates working like crazy to figure something out but what?::

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
CTO: To the best of my knowledge...our scans triggered...whatever that was...::As his console beeps, he looks down at his display and brings up sensor data and star-charts:: XO: Commander, I'm detecting massively dense star formations, thousands of magnitudes larger then what our data-base contains...sir...

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
CIV: Thank you for the report.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
XO:  What has Engineering reported?

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CO: All systems seem to be unaffected.

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
CO: Sir, It's a very compact area, lots more dense of stars.

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
*CO*: Capt. SB is filling up with crewmember with motion sickness. I am treating them now.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
::starts his own scans::

ACTION: 4 crewmen  vomit in the corner of sickbay

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*CMO*  Thank you doctor.  Keep me posted.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::looks around:: CTO: What about the Ferengi ship? Did it follow us through? ::sees a new face::

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
~~~CTO: I am aware...Ensign...I just...well...it's hard to explain~~~ CTO: Could you, possibly, speak aloud? ::He has this odd sense, as if something secret in his mind has been violated, and tries to block the Tactical officers thoughts::

TO_Kozak says:
CO/XO: Ens. Kozak reporting for duty

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
~~~CIV: It was a good idea...not the best reaction, though.~~~

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::nods:: TO: Welcome aboard.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
XO: Sir the nearest star is 2 light years away, I don’t see any M-Class planets.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
TO:  We don't have time for welcomes...tactical is over there  ::points::  Sorry.  ::smiles and turns::

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
XO: Sir, it appears they haven't followed us through.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CTO: Acknowledged.

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
4 Vomiting Crewmember: Please Lay down on the bio bed.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
XO: Sensors confirm Ensign Taylor's observations...sir...::He continues his scans, attempting to access the database in hopes that their sensors picked up anything from that vortex they were recently pulled into::

TO_Kozak says:
XO/CO: uh... Thanks I guess...::looks at where the CO pointed and walks over slowly::

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
XO: Everything seems to be working here... ::Listens for any open comm channels::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CO: So we got drawn through to where ever this is and the other ship was left behind.

Host Gilles says:
<Crewmen> ::moan::

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
:: Increases Hypospray ::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
XO:  It happened when we started the pulse.  That had to trigger something.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
~~~CIV: Sorry.~~~

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CO: A doorway perhaps...but to where.

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
4 Vomiting Crewmembers: This should do it.. :: Injects the crewmembers ::

TO_Kozak says:
CTO: Hi, I'm your new TO ::extends his hand::

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
::Continues to run scans, in the new area::

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
OPS: Can you reroute any more power to sensors?

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
XO: We've got some encrypted comm signals coming by... Not a clue where they're coming from.

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
ALL: If you have anything else please fill free to come back. 

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::He shoots a dangerous glance towards the Tactical Officer and forces his thoughts away, pilling up mental barriers as his gaze gets darker:: XO: Commander, permission to work with the Science Dept. and Astrometrics, sir?

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Starts trying to trace back the signals::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
OPS: Do your best to see if you can find out what they are about.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
XO:  At this point, I think we should begin exploring this area to see if we can't figure out where we are.  Also...we should begin working on a way to recreate the incident.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CIV: Permission granted, I want a report as soon as possible.

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
::Tries to ascertain what would cause the ship to be moved without engines, yet cause no damage::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CO: I agree sir. ::smiles:: I guess pick a direction and go.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::turns to his superiors:: CO/XO: There are about 50 stars all within a 10 light year area that could contain M-class planets.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
XO: Right now I can't get much of anything until I get a signal boost.

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
CO: Sir, there are about 50 stars all within a 10 light year area.  This area could contain class M planets.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::He nods once quickly and marches away from the Tactical display, turning back with that cold stare once more to Liko:: CTO: Tactical is yours, Ensign...::He turns back and heads into the nearest turbolift, doing his best to calm down:: ~~~CEO: Dan...I can't believe I did that...we're now lost, because of me...and I'm going to get blamed...~~~

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO:  Mark our entry point.  Any one that looks more promising than others Mr. Theron?

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CEO: See what you can do to get a power boost to help OPS.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
TO: Glad to meet you. ::extends his hand::

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Starts trying to run the bits and pieces through the computer to see if they could break the encryption::

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
~~~CIV: Don't worry. It's not your fault. It's better than being stuck in a web forever. And it was the only option we had at the time...~~~

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CTO/TO: Do a complete scan and see if there are any dangers or ships out there that can cause problems.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
::begins to scan::

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
CO: Entry marked. There is a star comparable to Sol 2 light years from here, bearing 3-7-8 mark 4.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
~~~CEO: I know, but, Dan...what if the Commander and Captain need someone to blame for this, and my name gets brought up - what's going to happen to my career?~~~ ::He paces in the confines of the lift as it takes him towards the Science Labs::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO:  Set a course.  Warp three.

TO_Kozak says:
::shakes the CTO's Hand:: CTO: TO_Kozak reporting for duty, what would you like me to do sir?

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
CO: Aye sir. ::sets course 3-7-8 mark 4, warp 3:: Engaging.  ::engages warp::

TO_Kozak says:
::hears the XO and doesn’t wait for a response from the CTO...starts scanning::

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
TO: Head to the second tactical station and begin scanning for anything odd.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Wondering what's going on:: XO: Perhaps we could put out a "distress" call and see who comes?

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
*CO*: Can you come to SB for a min.?

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
~~~CIV: D'Aurayen, stop worrying, okay? You won't be blamed. Now, you need to take a deep breath, and relax.~~~

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
XO:  Do we have sufficient information to recreate the incident at this point?

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*CMO*:  What seems to be the problem Dr.?

TO_Kozak says:
::hears the CTO:: CTO: Already on it sir

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::sits back rubbing temples and staring out the view screen:: CO: I will check with the CIV to see what pulse he used.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
TO: Impressive.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
CO: Our ETA is 5 Minutes sir.

TO_Kozak says:
::just grins and keeps on scanning::

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
CO: Nothing on sensors sir.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
~~~CEO: You're right...thanks Dan...~~~ ::He smiles and takes a deep breath as he heads out of the lift onto deck 14 and immediately enters the expansive Stellar Cartography Lab. He looks around the impressive room in awe, and glances around at the walls filled with astrometrical data, star charts, spatial readings, galore::

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
*CO*: Well, when you get a chance anyways. We need to update our physical recorders.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CTO:  Thank you.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
*CIV*: Mr. Alezka can you recreate the pulse you used on the web if we can't find another way out?

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*CMO*  ::sighs::  Doctor...do you still have other patients right now?

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Prepares a distress signal, but doesn't cycle it yet::

ACTION: The Claymore arrives in the first solar system

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
*CO*: No sure sickbay is completely free.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
XO: How about that distress signal thing?

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
CO: We are arriving in system Captain.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::drops from warp::

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::As he walks up to a master control display, Alezka taps his comm. badge and stumbles over his own words as he begins to speak:: *XO*: Ummm, well, I...yes sir. The information should be in the Tactical Sensor Data...ma'am, sir, Commander.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
::begins preliminary scans::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO:  Thank you.  Find the first Class M and set a course.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
OPS: That is an option prepare it but hold off for the moment.

ACTION: Sensors detect one class M planet with the 6 others in the system

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::shakes head wondering if he will ever get over the nerves:: *CIV*: Acknowledged.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
XO: Already done, Commander. ::Minimizes that window and goes back to monitoring for other signals::

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
CO: Understood, setting course for the 3rd planet in the system.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::Life flows into the Stellar Cartography Lab, as the small Haliian CIV Officer begins to power up the systems, activating the ODN lines, and feeding in data from the main sensor arrays:: *CSO*: Ensign Alezka to Ensign Taylor.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::full impulse::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CO: Mr. Alezka says all the data is in the tactical console so it should be able to be recreated.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*CMO*  Doctor...my physical condition is the last thing on my mind right now.  When we get back and I have the time...I will certainly come down but I have a ship to get home.  My apologies.  Bridge out.

ACTION: Sensors detect a small object just outside the system...mass 100 000 kg range 50000 km   no power emissions

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
TO: Hey it might be Earth! ::smiles::

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
*CIV*:Yes, Ensign?

TO_Kozak says:
::grins:: CTO: I wish!

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
*CSO*: I am bringing up the astrometric sensors, and beginning to compare sensor data to known star-charts. Just, well...ummm, thought you might like to know, sir...

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
*CO*: Understood... :: Sighs ::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CO: Our new doctor seems over anxious to get busy. ::chuckles::

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
CO: Sir I’m picking something up on sensors. Range is 50000km.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::makes a startling discovery, turns gets up and walks over to the CO and XO and whispers so no one else can hear:: CO/XO:  I don’t want to alarm the crew but my the calculations the computer made, we are several million light years from our previous position.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
XO:  Agreed but there are other less busy people to get physicals from right now.  So what do you have to tell me?

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
*CIV*: Good luck, if you need me, feel free to call on me.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CTO:  Is it hostile?

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
CTO: Can't tell. No power emissions.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
CO: Can't tell. No power emissions.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
XO/FCO:  Lets keep that under raps for now.  I don't want to cause the crew any fright until we have too.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::nods, turns and walks back to the helm::

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
*CSO*: Understood, Alezka out. ~~~CEO: Dan, how are things up on the bridge...they're not blaming me yet...are they?~~~ ::As the sensor data is brought up on his screens, he cross-references it with data in their databanks, letting out a soft sigh::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CO: Unfortunately we are still running scans. According to Mr. Alezka we should be able to recreate the pulse. The only question I have is will it work the same way as it did to get us here?

ACTION: Power usage on the object is increasing

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
CTO: Sir!

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
CO: Sir we are approaching the 3rd planet in the system.

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
~~~CIV: Didn’t I tell you to stop worrying?~~~ ::Gets a smile on his face::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
XO:  I agree.  If we can’t get any other answers...we will have to attempt it.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CTO: Take us to yellow alert just to be on the safe side.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
CO: Sir, there a power emission starting to come out of the object.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CO: And pray to whatever being we pray to that it works.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
~~~CEO: When did that ever work on the first attempt?~~~ ::He smiles and flops down into a chair in the Star Lab, looking over charts and comparing computer correlations::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
XO:  Agreed.  CTO:  Any activity?

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
::raises yellow alert::

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Listens to the CTO and wondering why he hasn't shot that thing yet::

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::Tapping a control, he opens a comm. to the bridge, his voice sounding slightly forlorn:: *XO*: Ensign Alezka to Commander T'Kerl...sir, I umm...I sort of have...well, not good news...sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CTO/CSO: See if you can get any readings on that thing and quick.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
CO: Still can't pinpoint. Weapons are standing by, if you give the order.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CO: Should I try to raise it, Captain?

ACTION: Power usage continues to increase

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
::Chuckles to himself:: ~~~CIV: I guess you're right.~~~

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
*CIV*: That isn't exactly what I wanted to hear you say but out with it.

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
XO: Yes Commander, running scans now.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CO: Perhaps we need to back away further and see what that thing does.

ACTION: The object discharges a laser at high power at the Claymore

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO:  Full stop.  CTO:  Understood.  OPS:  Attempt to hail it.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
::raises shields::

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
CO: Aye sir full stop. ::decelerates Claymore to all stop::

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
CO: Going to red alert!

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CTO: Do it!

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
*XO*: We sir, I ummm...I've identified out location sir, and well...ummmm, I don't think you're going to like it...::He almost seems reluctant to tell his superior::...we're in the middle of a star cluster in NGC 2398 - a Galaxy 136 Million LY from our own...sir...

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Hails the thing that just shot them::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO:  Evasive maneuvers

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
*CIV*: Acknowledged. Let's not make that public knowledge at this point.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
CO: Shall I return power?

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
:: Hears the red alert signal, prepares for injuries ::

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::changes to manual flight control:: CO: Aye sir evasive pattern theta-2.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
CO: Shall I return fire?

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::leans over to whisper to the CO:: CO: 136 million light years from home...it's going to be a long trip home if we can't find a way out.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Turns off the unnecessary things, like showers, and puts that power into the shields and weapons energy pools::

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::initiates full starboard roll at 2/3 impulse::

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
*XO*: Understood, ma'am, sir...::He stops himself moments before informing his Betazoid companion of the news, and blocks off those thoughts, hoping that his friend will not sense his saddened emotions::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
XO:  Agreed.  CTO:  Not yet.  FCO:  Back us off.

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
XO: Commander, the only thing I have at the moment is it's a huge laser and not much else.  There are no life forms present on it.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
OPS: Try and hail it again...let's see if it will answer us. Use all frequencies and the Universal Translator.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Continues to hail the thing that shot them:: CO: Captain, I think it's automated.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::Locking down the Stellar Cartography Lab, Ensign D'Aurayen Alezka finds himself alone in the large chamber, filled with a room with holographic displays, and 3-dimensional star-charts. His mind swims with all the data and he sighs, leaning back in his chair:: ~~~CEO: ...quite the adventure.~~~

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CO: Meaning that lights are on, but nobody's home. A computer controlled defensive platform.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
CO: Aye sir.  ::turns full roll, backs away best course from beam::

ACTION: The object overloads and explodes.... from overuse

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
CO: It uses a highly concentrated laser as its primary weapon. That's most what I can tell from the sensors.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::watches the explosion:: Self: That was defiantly some kind of orbital defense device.

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
::Begins to assess the damage done by the offensive tactic. Decides that he'd be more useful in Main Engineering. Dandin enters the turbolift and orders it to Engineering:: ~~~CIV: Certainly...~~~

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CTO:  Can you locate any other objects that fit the specifications of what shot at us?

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
CO: Scanning sir.

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
CO: Sir the laser seemed to be very old machinery, from my scans.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
OPS: Can you pick up anything from the planet?

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
CO/XO: Shall I put us in orbit of the 3rd planet?

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
XO: Checking... ::Listens for any local comm traffic from the planet::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO:  Standard orbit

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
CO: That was the only one in the system sir. It makes no sense to have one for an entire planet. Yet sensors don't show anymore.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO:  But be prepared to break orbit quickly if needed.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::Standing from his chair, Alezka crosses over to a main center display. One the surface of the table is a 2-dimension display of their region, and above it, floating above his head is the holographic view, filled with stars, and planets, nebulae and stellar aberrations - a Scientist's picnic...if only they weren’t so far off course - he would be in heaven::

ACTION: Sensor scans of the 3rd planet show an atmosphere of radioactivity, the surface is covered with impact craters. Thousand of them

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
XO: Are we even sure that there's a population on this planet?

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
OPS: That is a good question.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
CO: Aye sir.  ::makes the course change and puts the Claymore in a standard orbit::  CO: Understood sir, I'll be ready.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CSO: Are you picking up anything from the planet below?

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
CO: The planet looks like it’s been war torn.

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The oceans have been boiled away from the heat of the destruction

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
XO: I'm not picking up any new signals... so I'm doubting it.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CTO: Any idea on what caused the damage?

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::sees the reaction on the viewer:: Self: My god.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::looks at the CTO and back to the CSO waiting on his observation of the planet.::

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::As sensors on the bridge target the third planet of the system, Alezka's eyes are drawn towards another holographic display, as the sensors begin to map the planet's surface:: ~~~CEO: Dan...I have a really bad feeling about this...~~~ ::He begins tapping controls and scans the planet for any energy signatures that match those they detected on the net::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CO: I don't think that is a place we wish to explore just from what we have heard.

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
CO: Sir, scans of the 3rd planet show an atmosphere of radioactivity. The surface is covered with impact craters, and the oceans have been boiled away from the heat of the destruction.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
CO: According to my sensors, the destruction was caused by thousands of fusion bombs. Not so much different from nuclear weapons from the 21st century.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
ALL: Looks like we got here just in time to see the planets demise.

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
~~~CIV: Bad feeling about what?~~~ ::Exits the lift and goes to Engineering::

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CO: Could we go down there and take a look around?

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
CO: Sir all the damage seemed to have occurred 11000 years ago.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::hears the CSO's report::  XO:  I agree.  OPS:  Were you able to locate where those comms were coming from when we arrived?

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
OPS: See if you can get anything from any of the other planets.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
*CSO*: Ensign Taylor, I've identified the energy signatures in that atmosphere...relaying the data to you now - remaining signatures from a fusion weapon, possibly I think, sir, a bomb.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  Not reason to go down there.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CO: There's nothing new. They're still way too far off to even find out where they're coming from.

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
*CIV*: Thank you, for the information.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CO: There might be an underground civilization.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CO: I suggest we move on and keep the ship at yellow alert.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
~~~CEO: We've just entered orbit around the 3rd planet of this system...the closest planet to our exit point...and Dan, it's been devastated...by fusion weapons...~~~ ::His thoughts seem worried and almost terrified::

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
CO: According to my sensors, the destruction was caused by thousands of fusion bombs. Not so much different from nuclear weapons from the 21st century.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
XO: There's no possible way any of the other planets could support anything.

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
~~~CIV: A war?~~~

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
OPS: Acknowledged.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
~~~CEO: It seems that way...but the question is...with who?~~~

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
All: Looks like the other possible ending of Earths World War III.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
~~~CIV: Next time can you fill me in on the astrometric data from the planet as well. Also I'd like you to meet me later to over the daily tactical sensor database.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::nods to the XO::  OPS:  I must conclude that the possibility of someone living underground is not a good one.  FCO:  Set course for another Class M planet.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
XO: Lets hope that they are all not like this.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::He looks up at the holographic sphere and his eyes glance over the various colors displayed - representing different energy patterns in the atmosphere::

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
CO: The nearest M-Class planet is in another star system, 1.5 light years away.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CTO: I can concur on that one. Keep the ship at yellow alert and keep an eye out for any of those things that just blew up.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO:  Set course.  Warp six.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::His thoughts once again go dark, and more metaphorically then anything, Alezka throws Liko from his mind, blocking his thoughts:: ~~~CTO Stay out...of my mind...~~~

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
CO: Aye sir. ::sets course, at warp 6, engages:: CO: ETA is 8 minutes.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::sits down in his chair::  XO:  What do you think to this point Commander.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Watches the screen and starts thinking of getting back to familiar space::

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
:: Finishes Org. Emergency Medical Supplies ::

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
*CIV*: Fine then, lets use open communication. Any potential tactical information, send it to me , seeing how I am the CTO. Also I need to ask you something about the Tactical Sensor Database, since you were at tactical earlier today. I only used telepathic communication so you wouldn't be suspected of any thing ensign.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CO: Well what the FCO said about World War is a possibility. I just hope it doesn't go over to all the systems around here. It's like a giant puzzle though at this point.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::He begins to downloaded all their collected data into the computer core, and returns to the star-charts, picking up a PADD and using it to adjust the holographic view of their current region. Long range scans are routed to his location and update the hologram immediately, his eyes taking in all the new data almost instantly::

ACTION: 8 minutes later... The Claymore arrives at the new system...

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Waits for the weak signals to get stronger::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
ALL: Start your scans and let's see if we have better luck this time.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
CO: Sir we are arriving in system. ::drops from warp::

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
::starts scans::

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
::begins scans of the new system::

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
*CIV*: Understood. However, my Specialty is in the Scientific and Engineering fields, I report directly to the Executive Officer, of any Dept. Chief I am assigned to...any relevant data will be routed to you via proper procedures, Ensign. Alezka out.

ACTION: The following system contains 2 planets that were once class M... both have the exact damage as the other one. The damage occurred during the same 11000-13000 year period

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO:  Locate the closest M Class planet and set course.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::sets course for 1st M-class planet:: CO: Sir there are 2 M-class in the system.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::As sensor scans are routed to his controls, Alezka reviews the data and compares the atmospheric readings to those previously taken - not liking the view one bit::

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
*CIV*: Make sure they get to me. Thank you. Sorry for being rude but you might understand where I’m coming from.

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
CO: Sir the system contains 2 planets that were once class M.  They both have the same damage stuff as the other.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
CO: Reminds me of the Dominion War.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CO: Perhaps it wasn't just a world war... but a galaxy war of sorts... and one planet/system made a weapon that dominated the others.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CO: If the damage occurred over 10000 years ago... ::stops and thinks::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::looks at the CSO and back to the XO::  XO:  Looks like we are running into a lot of planets having the same problems.  What are you thinking about Commander?

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::Looking up at the long range starcharts, Alezka gets an idea, and begins to feed the energy scans of the three planets into the ship's sensor pallets:: Computer: Scan these following systems. Identify which systems are devoid of fusion energy signatures...

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
CO: We are arriving at the 1st M-class planet sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CO: Either whoever was in this sector had warp capabilities long before we even thought of going to the stars...or someone else got sucked in and started trying to take over.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO:  Thank you.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::As the computer feeds back the information to him, he smiles and taps his comm badge:: *XO/CSO*: Ensign Alezka to Bridge. Please respond.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
*CIV*: Go ahead Mr. Alezka.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
XO:  For the second theory to be true...we would have to be in the past.

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
*CIV*: Yes Ensign?

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::shakes head:: CO: Like I said sir it's like a giant puzzle and we don't know where to start putting things together yet.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
*XO/CSO*: Commander, I've modified the long range sensors, and identified 5 planetary systems, devoid of fusion energy...and twelve with...ma'am...I'd say our best bet is to look in those five systems...sir...

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CO: Or the future and I don't want to think about the problems there.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CSO:  Start scanning for warp signatures.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
*CIV*: Acknowledged.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::Sitting back in his chair, he continues scans, and his thought are a little happier then they were nearly an hour before:: ~~~CEO: Well...I just proposed a new idea...let us hope this one isn't as botched as the last...~~~

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
*CIV*: Thank you, acknowledged.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Listening in on the other conversations:: XO: There's always a key piece, Commander. Once that piece is found, everything will fall together.

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
CO: Scanning sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CO: The CIV has managed to identify 5 planetary systems devoid of fusion energy.

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
::begins scanning for warp signatures::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
OPS: That I can agree with...we just have to find the key piece. And try and determine a time frame.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
CO: Just because you can't see it, doesn't mean it isn't there.

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
~~~CIV: I'm sure it'll work, D'Aur.~~~

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
XO:  Sounds like a place to start.  Have the CIV relay the coordinates to the FCO.

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
CO: Sir, I haven't found anything yet, still scanning.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
XO: I have a feeling that those weak signals that I've been trying to listen to are the pieces.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
~~~CEO: Here's hoping...and Dan...ummmmm...~~~ ::He seems to want to ask something, but appears highly reluctant::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CO: Aye sir. ::taps combadge:: *CIV*: Relay those coordinates to the helm.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
FCO: Mr. Alezka is going to relay some coordinates to you be prepared to head that direction.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
XO: Aye sir.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::He looks up, slightly distracted, and speaks out loud, without opening a comm:: XO: Aye ma'am...::Glancing down at his controls, he relays the coordinates to the helm controls, in a sequence based on proximity::

ACTION: The ship arrives at the new system.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Listens to see if the weak signals are any stronger::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
OPS: Let's see what we can find on communications.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
ALL: All stations let's see what we can find out here.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
XO: I'm checking that now.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
ALL: We have arrived in system.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
::begins scans::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::waits to hear reports::

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Scans for any new signals::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CSO: What is the nearest Class M planet?

ACTION: Once again... sensors detect a class M planet... this time is seems space borne lasers have scoured the surface of the planet.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::Still in his chair, he begins to run full atmospheric scans on the planets within the system, and begins an analysis of the star which they orbit:: ~~~CEO: Dan...will...will you be with me, in case something happens...to keep me calm?~~~

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
XO: Nothing new as of yet.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
OPS: Thank you.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
CO: Sir I'm picking up 7 planets.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CO: It's like we have entered a place that is full of stars and destroyed planets and nothing else.

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
XO: The sensors detect a class M planet, space borne lasers have scoured the surface, still looking.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CTO:  Thank you.  XO:  Maybe we can get some answers now.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
All: This area of space is nice and cozy...

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
CO: The readings of the surface of the planet, indicate fire from those laser platforms. I'm no Vulcan, but I believe we've come across the remnants of a big war.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::mutters aloud:: Self: This is not looking very good at all...it's like a giant graveyard...a graveyard of planets and stars.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::Checking the star-charts, he begins to run a comparison between the nineteen different systems he has identified, and allows the computer to compute the data::

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
::continues scans of the system::

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
~~~CIV: Sure, D'Aur. I'm sure you'll be fine, but I'll come there.~~~ ::Makes his way to Astrometrics::

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
CO/XO: Shall I put us in orbit of the planet?

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CO: Unless we have a definite idea that there is life I don't see any reason of taking an orbit.

ACTION: Time of destruction seems more between 20000 to 25000 years

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::He smiles and releases the lock-down on the Stellar Cartography doors, almost anxious to see his friend:: ~~~CEO: Thanks Dan...you don't know how much that means to me...to...to know you'll be here with me...~~~

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
XO:  At this point Commander I think we should be getting ready to attempt to go home.  We are not getting any information here.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CO: In some ways I agree but there is still that signal that has been so faint. I think we can find the answers but we have to keep looking.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
CO: Perhaps we should send an away team.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
CO: There is no indication of radioactivity on the planet surface.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
XO:  You are referring to the signal we received when we first arrived?

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CO: Yes sir.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CO: I've still got that signal... no change. Need to get closer to get anything.
