SD 10303.11 Season Three Episode Thirty-seven (Mission #127) Watership Down Part 3

Last week on the USS Claymore…

Tiring of waiting around Loral has come to the Claymore without permission. Being given permission to come aboard her shuttle was tractored in and she is now sitting patiently in the Observation Lounge waiting on Captain Randolph.

The Flight Control Officer, Chief Engineer and Chief Science Officer have taken a runabout down to the moon's surface and have launched an investigation in trying to retrieve the probe. Like the Klingon's that went down before they are now missing off of their ships sensors and all communications have been lost.

The Bet'fel is still a glaring presence to the Claymore as she hovers nearly nose to nose with her. For now the Klingon XO is content to wait but how long will that last.

What adventures await our daring crew this week?

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%::On the surface of the moon trying to keep up with the FCO, while also trying to ignore the stitch in his side:: Self: I was made for crawling along Jeffries tubes, not a marathon.

CTO_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Trying to get re-acquainted with tactical and checks the alert status::

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%::still running through the foliage after the terrans:: Terrans: Stop! I'm an officer from the Starship Claymore!!!

OPS_Ens_Alezka says:
::As he receives his orders he looks over to the Commanding Officer with a quizzical expression. He gets ready to question the orders, and then nods once and heads over towards the Operations display, logging himself in::

KCO_Gorchek says:
%::sees his crew take off running after the natives::

EO_Ens_Davis says:
::sitting at the Engineering station on the bridge, monitoring ship systems::

Obs_Johnson says:
%::Rustles through the foliage::

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%:: Still on the planet, standing next to the Klingon Captain, watching as part of the crew goes after the disturbance found::

ACTION: The people the AT are chasing are making a running break for the lake.

Loral says:
::looks out the window in the Observation lounge and sighs softly::

CTO_LtCmdr_Farris says:
Self: Red alert... Alright... ::Shifts towards the tactical scan and starts looking for a readout on the Klingon ship off the bow::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CMO:  I want you scanning for life signs on the observatory.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%::still running, pulls phaser out and sets it to very low level one and aims and fires at a tree near the terrans to get there attention:: Terrans: Halt!

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
CO: Understood Sir.

ACTION: The telepaths in the group start hearing the buzzing becoming louder.

KCO_Gorchek says:
% ::decides he is better off running after the natives and takes off after the native::

Obs_Johnson says:
%::Pulls away the trees, heading anywhere safe::

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%*CEO/FCO* I'm sending two science officers to you, Lt. Lai, slow your pace for the officers.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%:: changes course after them for the lake as well, still holding his phaser::

OPS_Ens_Alezka says:
::With a sight he begins adjusting the configuration on the display before him, and does his best to access the sensor pallets, doing his best to improve their resolution::

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%::Tries to catch up to the Bajoran Officer:: FCO: The sound is getting even stronger...that buzzing. I think it might be emanating from the probe we're looking for.

ACTION: The FCO's shot misses.

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
% *CSO*: Aye. ::Slows down a little::

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%::yells back::: CEO: I have a feeling they might be leading us to something interesting!

EO_Ens_Davis says:
::seeing telemetry changing on the sensor input/output meters::  OPS: I can try and increase power to the sensors...  

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CTO:  Mr. Farris, I want you to begin scanning the observatory.  Get a general reading and let me know what you find I will then make a decision concerning it.

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
CO: Sir, the shielding is to heavy for anything to come through. I suggest moving more power toward the sensors.

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%:: Sends out two science officers, Ens. Morgan and Marimac to the CEO::

Obs_Johnson says:
%::Hears a sound, and raises his arms in protest::

KCO_Gorchek says:
% ::screams like a warrior and runs after the natives::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  Mr. Alezka, I need you to scan the debris of the shuttle that we found.  I need to know what exactly happened to it.

OPS_Ens_Alezka says:
::As he accesses the programming files of the lateral sensors, he takes several of the pallets off-line and re-routes the power to the remaining sensors. As he does, he begins to narrow the sensors field and targets the null space, hoping to get some sort of reading::

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%:: fires another level 1 phaser shot near the running people just to get their attention::

OPS_Ens_Alezka says:
OPS: Understood sir, I'll get right on it. ::He brings up a second set of scans, and opens up all the information present on the shuttle::

CTO_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CO: Captain, we... ::trails off and decides to take another scan of the observatory area to see if the null space is still there::

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%:: watches the KCO running toward the natives, and decides to join the chase::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CMO:  Understood.  OPS:  Route more power to the senors.

Obs_Johnson says:
%<Native1>::Turns direction and heads towards another path::

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%FCO: Whatever this intersting thing is, it's starting to give me a headache. ::Can hear the buzzing loud inside his head, and can't seem to close it off::

EO_Ens_Davis says:
::tapping out commands on the console, attempting to assist the OPS officer gain more data off the sensors::

Obs_Johnson says:
%<Native2>::Sitting near the Lake Hears the Commotion Stands and Picks up his Staff::

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
CO: Im sorry sir. But that made know difference

CTO_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CO: Captain, the inside is still shielded from scans as before.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%::still running hard very hard::

Loral says:
*CO*: Captain, how long must a dignitary wait on this ship?

OPS_Ens_Alezka says:
CO: We're at max, I'm doing my best. ::He looks up from his scans and over at the Chief Medical Officer quickly:: CO: It appears the shuttle suffered a large variety of systems malfunctions due to improver use - possibly by someone not trained to manage the vessel's key systems...

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%:: Motions to his two remaining officers to quickly join him, as they all three began their run::

CTO_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Wondering if he should fix the "dignitary" a nice comfy room... in a sound proof cell::

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%::Huffs and puffs, trying to still run at the same pace::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*Loral*  Not much longer Loral.  I will be with you momentarily.  I apologize.

OPS_Ens_Alezka says:
EO: Ensign Davis...if you could come here for a moment...::He motions over towards the Engineering officer and returns to his scans::

KCO_Gorchek says:
% ::thinks these Federation weaklings should run faster::

EO_Ens_Davis says:
::gets up and walks over:: OPS: I was just about to come over here actually....

ACTION: The observatory team busts into the clearing and takes up their places to protect what is at the edge of the lake.

Loral says:
::sighs and walks to the replicator, getting a drink::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  Thank you.  So it was destroyed because of malfunctions...  CTO: Can you tell what type of shielding it is?

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%::continues to run, sees the clearing up ahead and turns to enter it::

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%:: Continues to run, faster and faster, heaving in and out, as the fresh air goes through him.  Tries following as close as possible to the KCO::

OPS_Ens_Alezka says:
EO: Good...::He lets out a soft smile, but in fact wishes he was working along-side Lai instead:: EO: I need you to work on the navigational deflect and main sensor pallets. I have two theories about this null space, and I want to test one of them...

Obs_Johnson says:
%<Native4>::Has a Staff Posed and ready aims for the first Starfleet Officer breaking into the opening::

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%::breaks into the clearing::

Obs_Johnson says:
%<Native4>::Throws the Staff to the FCO::

KCO_Gorchek says:
% ::removes his mekleth from it's holster and runs out of the woods::

ACTION: As the Claymore AT breaks into the clearing followed by the Klingons the observatory team breaks into two groups attacking.

EO_Ens_Davis says:
::smiles::  OPS: Fair enough...  ::looks over to the Captain:: CO: Captain, I need Senior access to the command subprocessor for the Navigational Deflector since the Chief Engineer isn't here...

CTO_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CO: Dampening field... We'd have to get someone down there to shut it off.

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%:: Sees an opening and runs after the FCO, trying to get to it. He still carries his phaser, and is trying to catch his breath::

KCO_Gorchek says:
% ::screams at the top of his lungs:: All: Ahhhh !

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%::lunges at the first person poised at him::

Obs_Johnson says:
%<Native3>::Hides and Throws a Rock at the Klingon::

OPS_Ens_Alezka says:
CO/CTO: There's one person most qualified for that job...::He says the comment off hand, not looking up from his scans, and continuing on with his work::

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%:: Follows directly behind the KCO, watching as he screams aloud::

CTO_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Starting to get frustrated, starting to grip the top of his console::

KCO_Gorchek says:
% ::ignores the pebble and looks for the source of the throw::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
EO:  For what reason?  CTO:  Hmmm...OPS:  Could you bring Loral to the bridge please.

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%::Sees a staff being lobbed towards Kayle.  He raises his phaser, and points to one of the natives:: Halt!

CTO_LtCmdr_Farris says:
OPS: And who would that be?

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
<Native 1:>

ACTION: The spear grazes the FCO's arm tearing his uniform.

OPS_Ens_Alezka says:
::He taps in several key sequences and brings up a visual display of their sensors range, looking up to the Captain with a slight sight:: OPS: Sir, I'm a little - aye sir...::He pauses, logs out of his display and heads into the observation lounge::

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%:: enters in behind the KCO, and watches as the crew and Klingons, begin to fight the natives::

Obs_Johnson says:
%<Native 2>::Flies across the sky and into the CSO::

OPS_Ens_Alezka says:
<CO>

KCO_Gorchek says:
% ::runs towards the native his mekleth in the air: Native3: Come out Coward !!

EO_Ens_Davis says:
::looks over OPS shoulder::  OPS: Disengage the Navigation Data Compiler...  ::returns to the Engineering station::  CO: We're going to try to boost the magnification of sensor data reception through the navigational deflector....  I have to reroute the Navigation Compiler Subroutine in order to do that.... 

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%::Sees the attack, and fires his phaser, on stun, at the person that attacked::

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%::unscathed by the spear, reaches the closest person and lunges to tackle::

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
<%>

OPS_Ens_Alezka says:
Loral: Regent Loral...I'd like to apologize for any inconvenience you'd have. The Captain can see you now, if you'd care to follow me to the bridge, ma'am...

EO_Ens_Davis says:
::sitting down, beginning to access the system::

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%:: falls to the ground hard as the native lands::

ACTION: Two of the natives go down along with some well aimed throws at two of the Klingon AT.

Loral says:
::turns from where she was looking out of the window and looks to the OPS with a soft smile, setting her glass on the table:: OPS: Alright.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
EO:  Granted.  ::walks to his chair and inputs the commands::  EO:  You should have access to it.

Obs_Johnson says:
%<Native 3>::Falls over grasping at the Klingon::

EO_Ens_Davis says:
::sees the Command Subroutines appear on his screen::  CO: Thank you....  

Obs_Johnson says:
%<Native 2>::Falls over:: Ahh!

KCO_Gorchek says:
% ::raises his mekleth in the air over the native :: Native3: Submit !

EO_Ens_Davis says:
::begins to key in commands::  OPS: The sensor grid is going to go off-line for about 2 seconds while the computer re-routes the data...   Stand by....

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%::tackles the first man to the ground and holds him down:: Native: We're from a Federation Starship calm yourself!

OPS_Ens_Alezka says:
::With a smile, he leads the official toward the enterance to the bridge and motions for the two guards to follow him. As he enters the bridge he allows the guards to escort the woman to the Captain and returns to his display:: EO: Understood...

Obs_Johnson says:
%<Native 3>::Spits in his face::

CTO_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Looks over at the EO at hearing the sensor grid was going to go off-line::

ACTION: The buzzing sound in the CEO's head keeps getting louder and louder.

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%:: quickly tries to stand, falls again, but pulls out his phaser:: Native 2: Stop where you are!

Loral says:
::looks around at the bridge::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
Loral:  Regent Loral, I am Captain Randolph.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%::punches him square in his nose after he spits, he's out Kayle stands to see what else is going on::

EO_Ens_Davis says:
::keys in the re-routing command sequence::  COMP: Computer, reroute Main Sensor data feed through the Navigational Deflector's Command Subprocessor and boost the scan throughput 50%.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
<punches Native 3>

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%::Looks around to see where the sound is coming from. He holds his head::

Obs_Johnson says:
%<Native 3>::Is out cold::

ACTION: Only the leader of the observatory team is left standing.

Loral says:
::looks up at the Captain and smiles:: CO: Hello Captain.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%::walks up to last man standing aiming a phaser:: Leader: Who are you?!?

KCO_Gorchek says:
% ::smiles:: Self: Puny humans...

EO_Ens_Davis says:
::tapping in pathway reference points::

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%All: Does no-one else hear that?!

OPS_Ens_Alezka says:
::Accessing his controls once again, he brings up his information once more and watches the work on the deflector:: CTO: Right now, Commander, myself. Until Lieutenant Lai returns, I'm quite possibly one of the most qualified Engineers aboard...

Obs_Johnson says:
%FCO: Who are you?

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
% CEO: No, what is it?

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
Loral:  We have discoverd that the observatory is being shielded by a dampening field.  Would you know how to bring that dampening field down?

KCO_Gorchek says:
% ::wonders who this idiot is who is hearing voices::

EO_Ens_Davis says:
::brings the sensors back online with the reroute in place - monitors the data stream for changes::  OPS: What are you reading over there?

CTO_LtCmdr_Farris says:
OPS: And how would you get in? Just walk in and hope that there's nobody in there that will shoot you?

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%Johnson: Lieutenant Theron USS Claymore, your turn!

Loral says:
::nods and smiles sweetly:: CO: Of course Captain.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%::now standing right infront of the leader still holding the phaser::

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%CSO: This sound...since we got on the planet. It's a buzzing, and it's really loud here.

EO_Ens_Davis says:
::looks over to Loral::  Self: This I gotta see....

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
Loral:  Would you be willing to do so?

Obs_Johnson says:
%FCO: I can't remember..

OPS_Ens_Alezka says:
EO: Bringing sensors online, checking. ::He runs his fingers over the controls, bringing his displays online:: No change in readings...begin cycling through subspace and multi-spectral frequencies, I'll run the scans from here...

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%::looks at him puzzled:: Johnson: You cant remember? Why were you running from us?

ACTION: As the fighting begins to end the top of the probe can be seen sticking up out of the lake near the edge.

Obs_Johnson says:
%FCO: We were... protect us...

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%CEO: The sound where is it coming from?

EO_Ens_Davis says:
OPS: Aye...   It might also be possible to punch through using a remitting tachyon stream....   ::shrugs::  

Loral says:
::nods:: CO: Yes sir.

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%::Whispers:: CSO: I wish I knew. Can you do some scans, see if it's something in the area? And perhaps even of me?

Obs_Johnson says:
%::Stands there blinking slowly::

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%::stares at him and looks towards the lake beyond the leader:: Johnson: Sit right here and don’t move.  CEO/CSO: Taylor, Lai ::points:: In the lake!

KCO_Gorchek says:
% ::looks around and spots the object and runs in the lake::

OPS_Ens_Alezka says:
EO: Get it ready...if nothing comes up on the EM bands, we'll try it...understood? ::He looks across the bridge to the Engineering display::

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%::Looks at the FCO, then at the thing sticking out of the lake::

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%::see's Gorchek running and runs after him into the lake::

KCO_Gorchek says:
% ::assumes he'll be faster than the puny humans::

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%CSO: Yes. :: sends over two science officers, and walks over to the CEO::

ACTION: As Gorchek touches the probe an electrical beam shoots out stunning him.

Obs_Johnson says:
%::Backs up::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
Loral:  If you would follow me to the OPS station.  ::moves tot he OPS station::  OPS:  Loral can bring down the dampening field around the observatory.  Assist her in doing so.

EO_Ens_Davis says:
OPS: Aye....   ::swings back around and readies the tachyon::

Loral says:
::follows the CO and smiles to the OPS::

Obs_Johnson says:
%ALL: We must protect us.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%::stops a few feet deep in the lake and watches the beam knock down the Klingon::

CTO_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Notices that Loral smiles way too much...:: Self: She's hiding something...

OPS_Ens_Alezka says:
::He looks up at the Captain and resists the urge to flat out refuse, then turns to Loral with his diplomatic smile and nods:: Loral: We meet again Regent. ::He motions for her to take his seat and brings up an interface control for the station::

KCO_Gorchek says:
% ::feels like a Klingon Pain Stick:: Self: Arrrgh.... C'mon you probe.... you can do better that THAT !!  ::grabs the probe again::

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%:: tells the officers to continue the scans of the area and the CEO, and walks over to the FCO::

ACTION: Another beam shoots out from the probe hitting Gorchek in the head.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%::walks over and grabs Gorcheks uniform and drags him out of the lake so he doesnt drown::

KCO_Gorchek says:
Self: Arrrrrrrrgh !

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%Self: You'd think he'd have learned the first time.

Loral says:
::perches carefully on his seat, her robes still almosr touching the ground and looks around the console, orienting herself:: Self: Oh!. ::begins to tie in to the observatory and types in her codes::

KCO_Gorchek says:
% ::stands next to the probe:: All: If anyone approaches the probe I shall kill them

ACTION: With the probe shooting out the beams the buzzing seems to quiet some in the CEO's head.

Obs_Johnson says:
%::Moves in front of the AT:: FCO: You must leave, us now.

OPS_Ens_Alezka says:
::He motions to the display before them with a smile and taps several of the displays, bringing up an interface. He watches her actions carefully, and checks over as she accesses the outpost's systems::

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%::Hears the buzzing lessen each time the big Klingon is zapped::

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%::pushes past Johnson and stands on the shore:: Gorchek:  That probe is not yours!

EO_Ens_Davis says:
::Finalizing the tachyon stream::  OPS: Just in case, the Tachyon stream is standing by....   Emitters charged and ready.

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
% ::Walks over to the shore with the FCO::

Obs_Johnson says:
%::get pushed to the ground::

KCO_Gorchek says:
%::removes his communicator:: *Bet'fel*:  Beam me and the device aboard... NOW !!

EO_Ens_Davis says:
::monitoring sensor through put::

ACTION: The dampening field comes down around the observatory.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%::runs for the Klingon and jumps on him::

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%::Moves to Johnson's side, and kneels:: Johnson: What is that thing? ::Motions to the lake::

ACTION: The message doesn't get out.

KCO_Gorchek says:
% ::punches the FCO HARD::

OPS_Ens_Alezka says:
EO: Thank you, Ensign. ::He looks over to the Engineering display with a smile and turns back to Loral quickly:: Standby for now, Ensign. ::He brings up several scans of the observatory and nods his thanks to Loral::

CTO_LtCmdr_Farris says:
Self: Too bad we can't just hit the area with a carpet of torps and go home...

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%:: runs toward the KCO and the probe::

EO_Ens_Davis says:
::sees data begin to flow through the sensor system::  

Loral says:
::smiles back at the OPS::

ACTION: The FCO reels back from Gorchek's punch.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%::stunned from punch and gets him in the gut HARD::

KCO_Gorchek says:
% ::shoots the CSO with his disruptor::

CTO_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Checks his sensors to see if he can see into the observatory::

EO_Ens_Davis says:
::looks over to the CO:: CO: Shall I stand by  in the transporter room Captain?

ACTION: A beam shoots out from the probe rendering Gorcheck immobile.

Obs_Johnson says:
%::Looks at the CEO:: CEO: Thing?

OPS_Ens_Alezka says:
CO/CTO: The dampening field has been disengaged...::He looks over the Chief Medical Officer quickly:: CMO: Any life-signs aboard?

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
% Johnson: In the lake.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
Loral:  Thank you Regent.  EO:  On your way.

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
% :: yells loudly::

EO_Ens_Davis says:
::jumps up and heads into the TL::  CO: Aye Sir.....

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%::Sees what has happened, and gets up:: Johnson: Stay put. ::Runs to help the CSO and FCO::

KCO_Gorchek says:
% ::grits his teeth::

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%::see's Gorchek cant move and tries to pull him from the lake::

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
CO: All I am reading is computer, mapping equipment, etc. No life signs

Loral says:
CO: I hope now I can hope for a speedy end to this problem, Captain.

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%:: stands as best he can, fighting the pain from the blast::

EO_Ens_Davis says:
::arrives at the Transporter Room and relieves the transporter chief::  TRChief: I got it...  

OPS_Ens_Alezka says:
::As he continues his works he encrypts his controls, ensure that there will be no interference by Loral's presence. He begins to route the sensors and deflector controls to his display::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
Loral:  We are going to do our best Regent.

CTO_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CO: Nothing of interest in the observatory. Except that there aren't any people in it.

Obs_Johnson says:
%CEO: I do not know what that is.

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%CSO/FCO: Are you two okay?

OPS_Ens_Alezka says:
CO: Captain, I could tie into the observatory’s computer core and initiate a download. The station may have gotten more detailed scans of the probe, or have information on how this null space formed...

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CTO:  We at least know that they were alive when the left or dead .

KCO_Gorchek says:
% ::wants to ring the FCO's neck::

ACTION: The FCO manages to pull Gorchek out but he still can't move.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  Good idea Ensign.  Proceed.

EO_Ens_Davis says:
::brings the system online and hit the com button::  *CO* Transporter Standing By...   Still no positive lock on the Away Team.  

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*EO*  Nothing right now Mr. Davis.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%::lays Gorchek down on the beach, pulls off his communicator and disruptor and holds them:: CSO: I dont think he will shot you again.

Obs_Johnson says:
%::Stands up:: CEO: You must not go there though.

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%CEO: I'm ok, just a little stunned.

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%::Looks to Johnson:: Johnson: Why not?

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%FCO: I hope not.

KCO_Gorchek says:
% ::tries to mouth the words the he will strangle the FCO you he is dead::

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%CSO: That's good.

KCO_Gorchek says:
<FCO until he is>

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%CEO: Yes, very good.

Loral says:
::slides off of the OPS's chair and whispers:: OPS: So I just go back to the Observation Lounge or what? ::smiles::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CMO:  Continue scanning.  If there is a possibility they are not in the observatory, they could come back.  Let me know the second you have anything.

OPS_Ens_Alezka says:
::With the Regent's access codes still entered into the ship's computer he does his best to access the core computer aboard the observatory. Finding several defenses in the system processor, he does his best to by-pass the lock-out and gain access to the main files::

Obs_Johnson says:
%CEO: I do not know why.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%CEO: Dan, I think you should go try and scan the probe, see if you can find out if you can disable the beams, but stay a distance.

ACTION: Access to the observatory main computer files is accomplished...all that is there is a recording of every ship and satellite that has been tracked by the team.

OPS_Ens_Alezka says:
Loral: If you'll wait just one moment, Regent...I will gladly find out for you. ::He gives her a smile and then looks up towards Randolph:: CO: Captain, what would you have me do with her guest. Would you care to have her escorted to VIP quarters?

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%::Gives a funny look, the turns to his crewmates:: FCO: I think I will, yes. ::Walks as close as he can, without going in the water at all, and begins to scan::

EO_Ens_Davis says:
::ties into the main sensor feed and centers in on the observatory::

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%Self: If this buzzing doesn't put me out of commission first.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%::points to Johnson:: CSO: I think something really strange happened to him because of the probe, we need to get him to Sickbay, I doubt he is much help to us like this.

CTO_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Monitors the Klingon ship for any change in status::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
Loral:  Thank you for your help.  It seems the observatory members are not there at the moment.  ::hears the OPS and nods::  As soon as I know something I will inform you Regent.

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%FCO: I agree, I'll try to comm the ship again.

Obs_Johnson says:
%::Holds up his staff and walks to the front of the group::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CTO/CMO/OPS:  Suggestions to the point gentlemen.

OPS_Ens_Alezka says:
::While he waits for the Captain's response, a signal comes up on his board, displaying standard information files and nothing of interest. As he does he motions for the guards to escort Loral to quarters and assigns a suit to her:: CO: Captain, could the team have gone to investigate the probe on their own?

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%::Scans the probe from a distance trying to determine...anything::

Loral says:
::bows:: CO: I thank you for your time, Captain.

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%:: comms the Claymore:: *CO*: Captain, can you hear me?

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  I would say that is a definite possibility.

ACTION: As the CEO turns the tricorder on the probe some odd clicking sounds can be heard.

OPS_Ens_Alezka says:
CO: My recommendation stands sir...allow me to proceed to the surface and locate our team. They could be in trouble, or they may have answers for us...

ACTION: COM signals are still dead.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%CEO: Can you at least find a power source, something we might be able to shot and disable the probe.

Obs_Johnson says:
%::Looks at the group:: ALL: You must leave here.

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%:: silence, signal still dead::

CTO_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CO: I highly doubt we're dealing with any Borg thing. I say we send down a tactical team to retrieve the away team and then, if they have found the probe, lock on to the coordinates and fire a torp.

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%::Hopes he's not crazy:: Can you all hear THAT?

Loral says:
::heads down to her VIP quarters::

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%FCO: I still have nothing from the comms.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%CSO: I don’t think we are going to be able to drag the probe and the Klingons all the way back to the runabout.  ::hears the clicking:: CEO: IS it from the probe?

ACTION: A wavering in the null area can be detected on the Claymore around the edges but COM signals are still unable to penetrate.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CTO:  Our orders are to retrieve the probe or whatever it is Mr., Farris, not to destroy it.

Obs_Johnson says:
%::Pokes the FCO:: FCO: Leave now.

OPS_Ens_Alezka says:
::He looks at his scans of the surface and lets out a soft sigh, worrying about his friend down on the moon - if only he could get down there and help him:: CO: Sir...sensors, they're picking up something. ::He begins to target the rippling in the null space with full sensors sweeps::

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%FCO: I agree, but we need to figure out some way to get it back.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  What is it Mr. Alezka?

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%::grabs his arm:: Johnson: Calm down!

ACTION: A blinky light goes off on the tactical display on the Claymore.

EO_Ens_Davis says:
::sees that an bit of an increased area is appearing in the 'scanable area' of the observatory on the imaging scanners and target lock::

CTO_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Sees a blinky light and checks to see what it is::

CTO_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CO: Captain, LRS are picking up a Borg scout ship. Suggest we move to intercept.

Host KXO_Dorchan says:
ACTION: As the CTO checks the sensors a Borg scout ship is detected on the edge of the scanning range.

OPS_Ens_Alezka says:
CO: Sensor resolution on the null space is increasing. It appears the horizon of the field is losing it's integrity and allowing minimal scans...boosting the signal now...

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%::looks back down at Gorchek:: Gorchek: Are you alright?

CTO_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Begins setting phasers on a rotating frequency to prepare for the Borg::

Host KXO_Dorchan says:
ACTION: Gorchek just glares at the FCO with pure hate in his eyes.

Obs_Johnson says:
%::Tries to break free::

OPS_Ens_Alezka says:
::As he brings his scans to full power he sees the Borg vessel on sensors and curses internally. In an instant his anxiety runs high and his worry for those on the moon's surface increases::

KCO_Gorchek says:
% ::if he ever can move will strangle the FCO::

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%::lets go of Johnson’s arm::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  Keep trying to communicate with the AT.  ::hears the CTO::  Do you think it has something to do with the Borg arriving?

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%FCO/CSO: Perhaps we should return to the runabout and try contacting them there?

ACTION: The CEO's scans start showing up that this was at one time a federation probe that has been modified.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CTO:  Not yet.  Maintain Red Alert.

EO_Ens_Davis says:
::still scanning, attempting to get a lock, trying to direct scans through the null space::

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%CEO: We found it, I don’t know if we should leave it.

OPS_Ens_Alezka says:
::Tapping his comm badge, he does his best to boost the signal to the surface, relaying a message through the comm systems of the observatory and the runabout, hoping to increase the comm strength:: *EO*: Ensign Davis, please report to the bridge.

EO_Ens_Davis says:
*OPS* On my way....

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CTO:  ETA of the Borg Ship?

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%:: looks over to the probe::  %CEO: I agree with the FCO, I don't believe we should leave it.

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%Self: Strange. ::Calls out:: FCO/CSO: Look at this! It's a Federation probe!

EO_Ens_Davis says:
::dashes out to the bridge::

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%CEO: Federation probe?

OPS_Ens_Alezka says:
CO: Quite likely sir. Any number of systems on a Borg vessel, their drive system, shields or scanners, could be effecting the field, possibly even generating it...

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%CSO: Modified, but yes, Federation design.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%CEO: Can you find anything we can disable or jam or something so we can get closer to it?

CTO_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Does a quick reading:: CO: We have at least 30 minutes... But we should hit them as soon as possible.

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%CEO: Interesting.

OPS_Ens_Alezka says:
::Activates the main display, shifting it from the planet to the approaching vessel::

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%::Continues to scan, to see what's causing the beam, and if anything can be done about it::

EO_Ens_Davis says:
::enters the bridge::  OPS: Davis repor...  ::pauses and looks at the main viewer::  All: What in Blazes?!?

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%:: sends a few science officers over to scan as well::

OPS_Ens_Alezka says:
::He looks up at the main view screen and then towards Davis quickly:: EO: We have company...report to you post and prepare your department...

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CTO:  If you know the Borg as well as you say you do Mr. Farris, you know that they will not attack unless provoked.  If we win, a bigger ship comes.  We have 30 minutes to get our job done.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%CEO: Hey even if its modified maybe it still has its Starfleet command protocols in its computer, maybe you can use your tricorder to link up and send it a command to power down . . ..  just a thought?

Obs_Johnson says:
%::Kicks the Klingon::

EO_Ens_Davis says:
::walks over to the Engineering station, staring at the viewer a bit more::  OPS: Aye.....

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  Anything yet Mr. Alezka?

OPS_Ens_Alezka says:
CO: That isn't necessarily true, Captain. If they have come to retrive the probe, or with a specific objective in mind - and we interfere with that - we are likely targets...provoked or otherwise...

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%::grabs Johnson and pulls him back:: Johnson: You stop that and sit down!

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%::Glances at the CSO as the FCO makes his suggestion:: CSO: I'd need your assistance.

EO_Ens_Davis says:
::turns to the console and begins to make ready for possible engagement of the Borg::  *Engineering* Damage Control Teams Alpha, Charlie, and Delta, stand by at pre assigned posts.

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%CEO: Sounds like a good plan to try.

CTO_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CO: Captain, are you forgetting all of the other times that the Borg have made incursions into Federation space? Should we just let them walk through?

OPS_Ens_Alezka says:
CO: No sir, nothing yet...::He continues to do his best to open a comm channel to the surface, hoping that the increased gain from the Runabout and the observatory will amplify the signal enough to get through:: *CEO*: U.S.S. Claymore to Away Team. Please respond.

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%:: walks over to the CEO, to give his assistance::

ACTION: COM's are still down.

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%CEO: How can i be of assistance?

Obs_Johnson says:
%::Sits down, poking at the CSO with his staff:: CSO: You must leave... Leave now...

EO_Ens_Davis says:
::brings aux power to hot standby and prepares emergency procedures::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  No I'm not Mr. Farris but I am not suggesting that we let them walk through either.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%::takes the staff from Johnson:: Johnson: Bad!

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%:: Looks over at Johnson and pats him on the head:: Johnson: Soon.

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%CSO: You know more about science probes then me. Take a look at these readings, see how different they look from a normal probe.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  Can you intensify whatever it is causing the null area to break down faster?

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%CEO: Ok. :: Links up his tricorder to the CEO's to look at the readings::

KCO_Gorchek says:
% ::tries to move unsuccessfully a finger::

OPS_Ens_Alezka says:
::He looks towards the Engineering Officer preparing for battle and lets out a soft sigh - the Borg. Of all the luck. He just prayed that he could get in contact with Lai again. With a fleeting through, he increases the speed and amplitude of the signal several hundred times and attempts it again:: *CEO*: U.S.S. Claymore to Away Team.

CTO_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Now really wanting to shoot something, almost at the point of not caring what it is::

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%::Continues to take readings, trying to see if he can determine what sort of modifications were made, and who probably made them::

ACTION: As the scans continue the same clicking sound can be heard.

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%:: begins to link with the CEO, and begins reading the scans, along with the CEO::

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%CEO/CSO: Well? Can you do it, send the command.

KCO_Gorchek says:
% ::grunts and moans::

OPS_Ens_Alezka says:
CO: Not without knowing what is causing it...::He looks over to the EO with a thought and prepares the tachyon spread, and a graviton beam, prepping the computer for the commands:: CO: I do have two theories as to how we could...care of Ensign Davis. Permission to test them, sir?

CTO_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Slowing down so that he doesn't do anything like just grabbing his phaser::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  What are they?

EO_Ens_Davis says:
::swings around in chair and smiles::

KCO_Gorchek says:
% ::tries with all his might to get up and strangle the FCO::

OPS_Ens_Alezka says:
CO: The first is a tachyon stream directed at the null space. It should hopefully allow us to scan something...since tachyon particles travel at faster then light speeds. The second is a graviton pulse directed at the edige of the field...sir.

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%::Sends the commands, and hopes that there is some responce::

ACTION: As the commands are sent the probe becomes silent and the null field disappears.
