    <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<RESUME MISSION>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

SO_Love says:
:: On the bridge, quietly working on the sensors, a forever task it seems.::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::Leaving his quarters making his way to the bridge.::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::begins making security patterns for the president's safety::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::enters the TL:: Computer:  Bridge.  ::the TL begins to move::
SO_Love says:
CTO:  Sir, I have the internal sensors double rigged around the presidents quarters.  Theoretically, not even a bug should be able to get in there with out your knowledge.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::exits onto the bridge.::  ALL:  Report.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
SO: Thank you.
SO_Love says:
CTO:  Anything else that might help?
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
SO: How many security teams do we have positioned around the President at all times?
SO_Love says:
:: Looks down at her sensors::  CTO:  I am reading two individuals currently in that vicinity, two already at the doors.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
SO: Post two more onto his personal detail.
SO_Love says:
:: Makes a note.:: CTO:  Security alone, I would never want to be the president.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
SO/CTO:  Some one want to fill me in on things here?
SO_Love says:
::  Turns and waits for the CTO to go first.::
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
::pulls head out from under the engineering console::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
CO: Aye, sir.  I have posted four security teams to the President's personal detail and the SO has made sure that we know the slightest movement in the President's quarters.
SO_Love says:
CO:  I have internal sensors notched up to extra sensitivity.  The problem with that, is there most likely will be a couple of false alarms, but they will need to be taken seriously.  The other side of the coin is nothing should be able to get in or out without our knowledge.
SO_Love says:
CO:  Did you want force fields set around his quarters?
SO_Love says:
:: Thinks they are over doing it, but better over then losing the president.::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CTO/SO: Good work.  CTO:  Yes.  I do.  I want him as safe as possible...that will keep from anyone trying to beam him away.
SO_Love says:
:: Looks at the Vulcan::  CTO:  I will have engineering get on it.
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
CO: Sir i have repaired the little glitch in the engineering station here on the bridge.  Do you want me remain here and monitor from the bridge/
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::looks at the CEO::  CEO:  That will be sufficient.  Thank you.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
SO: Good.
SO_Love says:
CEO:  Ma'am, we need a force field set up around the presidents quarters.
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
SO: Not a problem level please?
SO_Love says:
CEO:  We put him on level four instead of the obvious VIP quarters on deck two.
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
SO: Understood, deck 4, level 4 force field.

ACTION: Perimeter sensor buoys detect a vessel approaching the system.

CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
SO: Field has been established.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
CO: Sir, a vessel is entering the system.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::looks at the CTO::  CTO:  Can you identify it?
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
CO: Trying, sir.
SO_Love says:
:: Turns to scan the incoming vessel.::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
CO: Sir, it is out of sensor range.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
SO:  Narrow the band.  Let’s see if we can get a better look.
SO_Love says:
:: Following through, narrows the band, and puts up the current view on the screen.::

ACTION: The vessel is completely off sensors.  No lifesigns were detected.

SO_Love says:
:: Shakes her head::  CO:  Sorry sir.  I wasn't even able to pick up their life sign numbers.  Looks like they don't want us to know anything.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: scurries off the lift to her station having only just arrived from Avalon station ::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
Helm:  Mr. Kogos...take us into range of the vessel.
SO_Love says:
:: Nods a greeting to Chaser.::
Krogos says:
 CO:  Aye sir.  ::implements the captain's order.::
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
::Sees Cmdr Chaser hurry to her station knowing she was at the wedding on Avalon as well as J'Loni and herself::

ACTION: Claymore leaves the station to pursue the mystery ship.

SO_Love says:
:: Scans the area for any warp drive particles or other ship signatures.::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::exits his quarters and heads towards the Turbolift::
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
SO: Try using a negative ion scan.  She just might someone we don't need to have around. ::thinking of......::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CTO/SO: Scan the area.
SO_Love says:
:: Nods as she tries various techniques.::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::arrives at the lift and rides up to the bridge::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: checks for any comm traffic::
SO_Love says:
CO:  Captain, I am not picking up anything.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
SO:  That is unusual...
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::exits onto the bridge and heads towards his chair::
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
::tapping her combadge and whispering:: OPS: Enjoy the wedding as much as I did?  I saw J'Loni next to you. How is she doing?
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
SO:  Could it be Starfleet One?
SO_Love says:
:: Turns to look at him. ::  CO:  Yes sir.  :: Hesitant.::  I could possibly have missed something... but... I will run another scan.  If it is sir, why not just tell us they are there?

ACTION: Claymore arrives at the last detected position of the mystery ship.  There is nothing unusual on sensors.

CO_Capt_Randolph says:
SO:  It may be a way they protect the President...
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
SO: Ok but i don't understand why the Federation would hide like that.
SO_Love says:
CO:  Well.... there are a few experimental ideas running around that could hide a ships trail for a short amount of time, not long though.  I have not heard of it being implemented on a standard ship yet... still experimental.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
SO:  Hmmm...OPS:  Contact SB 55 and give them the update on our findings with this mystery ship so far.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
CO: Aye, Captain.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CTO:  Does this look like any tactic you have ever seen Lt.?
SO_Love says:
:: Looks over at the CTO, trying to come up with an idea to help out.::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
CO: No Captain.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: goes about  sending out the update as ordered ::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::sits down and pulls out his PADD...catching up on all the action that took place while he was in his quarters::
SecChiefPallard says:
COM: Claymore: USS Claymore, this is Chief Pallard at Starbase 55.  Did you see what I saw?
SO_Love says:
:: Under her breath.:: I wonder... CO:  Sir, there is another possibility.  The planet’s magnetic field could hide a ship.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
: opens a channel for the CO and nods ::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
COM:  Pallard: This is Captain Randolph of the Claymore.  We did see it Chief.  We are trying to investigate it.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::notices talk about a mystery ship and listens intently::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
SO:  Explore that possibility.
SO_Love says:
CO:  I would need our ship to enter the vicinity.
SecChiefPallard says:
COM:Randolph: We just got a sensor passing by the station, Captain.  Nothing solid on sensors.  If I didn't know better, I'd say we just got buzzed.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
COM: Pallard:  Buzzed Chief?
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
::raises eyebrow as she hears the com::
SO_Love says:
:: Looks toward Alex.::
SecChiefPallard says:
COM:Randolph: An old Earth navy term meant to indicate that an airplane has flown close to a seafaring vessel.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::looks over to Chey...questioningly::
SecChiefPallard says:
COM:Randolph: In this case, I'd say it was a well cloaked ship
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
::thinks spatial distortions, gravimetric eddies, back wash::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
COM: Pallard:  We will return to SB 55 to help in the investigation.  
SO_Love says:
:: shrugs and waits for the captain to finish.::
SecChiefPallard says:
COM:Randolph: A good choice, Captain.

ACTION: Pallard cuts the com.

OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: closes the channel ::
SO_Love says:
CO:  Sir?  Did you still want us to go toward the vicinity of the planet to check it out?
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
COM:  Pallard:  We are on our way.  Claymore out.  
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: turns around to look at the Captain::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
CO: He cut the comm, sir-r.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
SO:  We will have to hold off on that Ms. Love.  Helm:  Mr. Kogos, set course back to SB 55, best speed.
SO_Love says:
:: Nods::  CO:  Aye sir.
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
CO: Sir i was just thinking, it might be something on the order of spatial distortions, gravimetric eddies, or even some type of jet wash as they said in ancient Earth technology in the Airforce.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CEO:  Go on?
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
CO:  If we could establish that it was a type of engine wash from the ship then we might just have a chance or even if it is a spatial eddy in space we could follow the eddie to where it came from or something on that nature.
SO_Love says:
::Listening.::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
SO:  What do you think Ms. Love?
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
CO:  All star drives emit emissions and they displace the space surrounding them creating a type of eddie.  it might be possible to find that eddy.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
Self: Hmm...
SO_Love says:
:: Rubs her nose as she ponders a moment.::  CO:  I am not sure sir.  It might be possible...
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
SO:  You sound unsure...
SO_Love says:
CO:  I have never done something like this before sir.
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
SO: it is not difficult to find if you know what to look for.
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
SO: Any deviation in the flow of normal space would indicate an eddy of some sort.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CEO/SO:  I want you two to get to work on it.  Let’s see what the two of you can come up with.
SO_Love says:
CO:  Aye sir...
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
CO: understood sir.
CEO_Lt_B`Renak says:
::walks over to the SO's station and confers with her::
