                                       Sector 920 - Part 6

CSO_Senn says:
:: In the science lab, taking a moment to analyze what little telemetry they had, suddenly finding herself in darkness.::

ACTION: After firing the deflector array, Claymore is thrown into darkness and all is quiet.  Consoles are on emergency power and helm is not responding.

CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::stands at the threshold that separates her office and the rest of sickbay, dimly lit by the emergency power::
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
OPS: Helm is not answering.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Standing at the tactical station on the now pitch black bridge staring at the console::
CSO_Senn says:
* Bridge*:  What happened?
CEO_Ens_Trans says:
::Check his bridge monitor noting a massive power loss::
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::lets eyes adjust to the darkness::
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
::laying in his medical bed staring blankly around...thinks to himself..."I know I paid the electric bill"::
CSO_Senn says:
:: Reaches for her sister instinctively, noting she was fine if tired.::
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
OPS: Sir we are drifting into the anomaly.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: stands still somewhat stunned ::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::walks towards the Captain and feels the familiar... whatever that sets part of her mind at ease, knowing Eris is all right::
CEO_Ens_Trans says:
OPS: The main power coupler has been completely overloaded. It's completely trashed.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
*CSO*: We have fired a three second betrion burst into the anomally, Lieutenant.  We've lost all power to the engines and are being sucked in.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
CEO: Shut what ever-r r-raw power-r you can find into guidance and flight.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::squints before she can actually see that the glass of oligomineral water by the Captain's biobed is empty:: CO: Sir? ::quietly::
SMDave says:
ACTION: Emergency lighting comes on throughout the ship.
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
::continues to look about::  ::whispers::  CMO: Yes...?
CSO_Senn says:
:: Both eyebrows go up.::  Lovely... *CTO*:  I am on may back up.  Are the lifts working?
CEO_Ens_Trans says:
OPS: Aye sir. ::Diverts power through secondary relays, against reccomended procedures.::
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::shuts eyes to readjust to the emergency lighting::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: circles around the command chair nervously ::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
*CSO*: Unknown, Lieutenant.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
*CSO*: I'm taking scans of the anomally now.
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
OPS: Sir we are still drifting into the anomaly.
CEO_Ens_Trans says:
OPS: That should get us auxiliary power.
CSO_Senn says:
* CTO*  Thank you... Senn out.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
CO: Silly question, but... how are you doing?
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
FCO: Tur-rn the ship a beam of the anomaly and take us out.
CSO_Senn says:
:: Stands up, grabbing her tricorder, placing it on her belt and exits the lab.::  Well, that worked.  :: heads for the nearest turbolift.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
OPS: Lieutenant Senn is on her way to the Bridge.  Activating short-range sensors....now...
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::checks the biobed display, bringing up each scan at a time to conserve energy. Good thing these systems have their own backup emergency power systems::
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
CMO: Well about from the small pain I felt a minute ago...I'm great...however I hope there will be no long term side effects...and I hope I don't have these stones again...::pushes himself up from the bed::
CSO_Senn says:
:: As the lifts doors open she enters.::  Computer, bridge.
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
OPS: Turning 180 degrees now, sir and retracing out steps back out if the power holds sir.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
OPS: Receiving readings now.....::Taps the console:: Commander, the betrion burst has slowed the growth rate down to 12 percent.
SMDave says:
ACTION: Helm is now responding, but the ship is very sluggish.
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
OPS: Helm is responding but she is turning like a drunken sailor sir.
CSO_Senn says:
:: Steps onto the bridge as lift stops, a quick glance around assessing things.  Heads for her station.::  CTO:  Do you have anything for me so far?
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: Nods to the CTO ::
CEO_Ens_Trans says:
FCO: I'll try to get more power to the RCS Thrusters. That should give you better handling.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CSO: The betrion burst slowed the growth rate down to 12% of what it was before.
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
CEO: Thanks it would help I think.
CEO_Ens_Trans says:
::Taps his control panel to route more power to the thrusters. Also sends an Engineering to check on the status of the main coupler.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CSO: Linking the short-range sensors to your console.  ::Taps the console::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::allows the man to get up by himself:: CO: I thought so... ::clearly not referring to his condition:: You'll need to keep drinking that water every regular intervals, if the replicator works, of course.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
*CMO*: Please monitor-r r-radiation levels, we may need to institute pr-rotocols for Betr-rion.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
CO: If not, I'll think of something else.
CSO_Senn says:
CTO:  That is good, especially given how it was growing expotentially.  :: Looks over the sensor readings.::  CTO: LRS out?
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
Self:  Great radiation.  That is all I need now.
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
::looks at the CMO::  CMO: Well sounds good to me.  I put my faith in the water...and the replicator.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: circles around in front of the command chair as the ship plods out  of the way of the anomaly, thinking she'd like to get out and push ::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::taps her badge and signals to T'ail to comply with Chaser's request:: *OPS* Acknowledged, Commander.
MO_T'ail says:
CMO:  Acknowledged Doctor-r.  :: Scurries off to comply ::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CSO: Affirmative, Lieutenant.  The power required to generate the betrion burst knocked out the long-range sensors.
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
CMO: And if that doesn't work...I'll put my faith in the "something else."
CSO_Senn says:
:: Nods as she looks through the SRS::  CTO:  Would help if were closer then with the SRS... hmmm... odd....
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: slowly scans the bridge pausing on each face as the crew works to decipher the problem at hand ::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CTO: We should be in short-range sensor range in a few minutes at the rate we're drifting.
CSO_Senn says:
:: Double checks the data.::  CTO:  It would appear that it did slow the growth, but now I am picking up lifesigns.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
FCO: Distance fr-rom the anomaly?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CSO: What?!  Life signs inside the anomally?
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::smirks:: CO: That, and a diet, although we won't discuss that now. ::rolls her eyes, she hates to do things like this:: You're not out of this yet, so I want you right back here when this is over. ::hands him his jacket:: Or when I call you. No Buts. Deal? ::barely withdraws the jacket to make sure he agrees::
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::hears the statement about life in the anomaly::
CSO_Senn says:
Hmmmm... CTO:  Congratulations.  :: Looks up::  You are a mother.  I am reading amobeas and simple bacteria in some of the smaller mass groupings near the central mass of stars.
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
CMO: It's that serious huh...oh well at least I can go with a bang...and Lt...Buts.  ::Takes the jacket and begins to put it on::
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
OPS: Sir we are 230 KM from the event horizon.  If yu ask me that is way to close.
CSO_Senn says:
:: Her hands dance along the console, going through data and creating simple models.::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::would love to argue. So much. But she only shakes her head and mutters something about the males of all species::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CSO: You mean the betrion burst caused a reaction that not only slowed the growth but acelerated growth of life forms?
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
CEO: We need mor-re power-r to get out of her-e.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
CO: With all due respect, sir. ::pauses:: Get out of here before I change my mind.
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
::smiles widely...and heads toward the TL...after fully dressing::  CMO: And Lt...I'll be waiting for your call.  ::enters the lift::
CEO_Ens_Trans says:
OPS: I'll see what I can do, sir.
CSO_Senn says:
CTO:  Looks like it.   It accelerated things up a bit.  Hmmm... There is something else too... kind of familiar.  Give me a moment while I see if I can't work it out.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Raises eyebrows and waits for the CSO's news::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
FCO: Set our vector-r to the most expedient path away fr-rom this place.
CEO_Ens_Trans says:
::Opens up another secondary coupling, knowing that each bypass increases the risk of a failure exponentially.::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
FCO: Speed?
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::turns around as she hears the captain's last words, and walks to Dr. T'ail::
CSO_Senn says:
:: Runs the telemetry through various historical records.::
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
::doesn't wait for a reply...says his destination and goes to the bridge::
CSO_Senn says:
OPS:  Commander... we may have a problem here.  However, we would have to get closer to the event horizon... about 12 KM.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: walks around to the back of the command chair resting her arms atop it and watches the screen with a forlorn look in her eye ::
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
OPS: Sir, at the present we have no warp dirive and on full impulse we wouldn't be able to out run the bloody thing.
CSO_Senn says:
:: Looks over at Ryan::  CTO/OPS:  I am reading protomatter within all areas of the anomoly.
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
::feels the the smooth ride back to the bridge...smile still on his face...the doors open and he exits...and stands there looking around, like a young boy about to pull a prank::  
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
ALL: Captain on the br-ridge!
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Taps her console:: CSO: Protomatter?
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::jumps up and salutes::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: wilts at the presence of the Captain ::
CSO_Senn says:
:: Glances at the man who has entered the bridge and nods before looking back at the CTO::  CTO:  Yea...
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Looks up at the Captain as he enters the Bridge:: CO: Sir.
CEO_Ens_Trans says:
::stands at attention::
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
::looks rather excitedly...seeing as this is the first time he's really been welcomed on the bridge as the Captain...becomes all warm::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CSO: So are we like....like experiencing the Genesis effect?
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::watches T'ail working and, as he moves aside to allow her space in front of the console, starts aiding him::
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
ALL: Hello.  I'm stoneless...or so I would like to hope so.  ::looks over to the CSO::  CSO: My your a fast move...they must keep you busy everywhere.  
CSO_Senn says:
CTO:  Yes... and it may also bring in the prime directive.
CSO_Senn says:
:: Turns to the captain confused::  CO:  Sir?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CSO: But how were we to know that our betrion burst would cause this effect?
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
CO: Welcome back sir.  ::takes her seat once again::
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
::Nods to the CSO...and the FCO...and motions them back to their work::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: feels sick to her stomach quickly leaving the command deck for the comfort of the operations console ::
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
FCO: Thank you.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CO: Congratulations, Sir.....on your stonelessness that is....
CSO_Senn says:
CTO:  It did not cause the affect, it accellerated what was already there.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: taps immediately into the power grid and starts gleening power for the engines and shields ::
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
CSO: Seems your also down in Sickbay...and I'm sure I've seen you other place...maybe the lounge...or ok...just sickbay and here...but I'll tell you if I do.  ::smiles::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Breathes a sigh of relief:: CSO: Well, then....
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
CTO: Thank you...I do so hope they are gone...not sure I can take it again.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::listens to T'ail's description of the events, and agrees with him based on all scans they've conducted::
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
OPS: Lt. thank you for holding the fort...and now...lets have a report.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
*OPS* Senn to Chaser. So far, the radiation is having no effect on the ship. We'll continue monitoring from here.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CO: I hear it's quite painful, Sir.  Glad you're up and about though.
CSO_Senn says:
:: Just stops rolling her eyes as she realizes what had just occured.::  CO:  Sorry sir.  Lieutenant Senn Eos is my twin sister.  I am Lieutenant Senn Eris.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
*CMO*: Acknowledged, br-ridge out.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: stands like a schoolchild about to recite :: CO: Sir-r...... :: her voice cracks ::
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
CSO: Well...I'll make a mental note to mark you somehow to fully correct this..oo...maybe a R on your fore head...::shakes his head::...nope...but I'll think of something...::smiles::  CTO: Oh it is...and the way they come out...its striking.
CEO_Ens_Trans says:
::Does some investigation into the systems routing and notes possibilities for achieving warp drive::
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::turns to OPS and smiles::  OPS: Relax and give him the report. You will do fine.
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
OPS: Yes....?
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: looks at the deck ::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Cringes and butt puckers at the CO's desciption of passing stones::
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
::feels giddy::
CSO_Senn says:
:: Eyes her new captain with a bit suspicion, then turns back to her telemetry, leaving the rest to others.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
CO: Sir,r the anomaly is gr-rowing exponentially lar-rger-r.
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
CTO: Its not that bad...or so the medical jounral I read didn't make to be that bad...however I'm not quite sure they had stones before.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
CO: We have tr-ried to seal it with a bur-rst of Betr-rion r-radiation, causing it to decr-rease in size by 12 per-rcent.
CEO_Ens_Trans says:
CO: Sir, I believe I can get limited warp power if I reconfigure one of the secondary power couplings to handle a greater load... Either that or it will blow out the relay.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
CO: The CSO has found a cur-rious life r-reading coming from the anomaly.
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
OPS: Oh my...well atleast we've given it a slight kick. ::stops::  Life reading?
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
CO: War-rp engines ar-re offline as are LRS.
CSO_Senn says:
:: Listens to the report.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CO: Well, Sir...this is the 24th Century...you'd think they'd have develped a way to blast the stones inside your body so you wouldn't have to pass them the old fashioned way.  ::Smiles weakly::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
CO: Sir-r, the ship has sustained heavy damage as a r-result of our actions and we are drifting closer-r to the anamoly.
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
CEO: Well give it a try...but be carefull...I don't want you charred...might get someone else to do it..::grins::
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
CTO: That would be too easy.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::as Dr. T'ail and her finish up a diagnostics routine to monitor the radiation levels, she wishes desperately for a bridge report::
CEO_Ens_Trans says:
CO: Aye, sir. I'll get Ensign Ricky on it right away
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CO: Yes, Sir.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: tries to stand straight and tall :: CO: I'll take r-responsibility for the damage, Captain, the anamoly at last scan was 3.1 AU.  End r-repor-rt.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: quickly sits down feeling rather flustered that everyone was talking during her report ::
CSO_Senn says:
All:  Not wanting to interrupt this ummm... interesting conversation, but we do have a problem here.  While things are currently stable, with protomater, anything is possible.
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
OPS: Hmmm...well if we still did floggings...maybe...::laughs::...don't worry well take it out of someone else pay check.
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::smiles at Lt. Chaser::  OPS: You handled that like a pro.  Stop worrying.  You did fine.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::rubs her eyes, feeling tired, wishing for a good night's sleep that eluded her since her arrival to the Claymore::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: Nods solemnly at the Captain and turns back to her console ::
CEO_Ens_Trans says:
::Sends Ensign Ricky out with the proper instructions and a repair team::
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
CEO: Excellent.  
CEO_Ens_Trans says:
CO: It will take about 13 minutes before we can test it.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: her shoulders and tail droop as she taps her console ::
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
OPS: And Lt.  You did a wonderful job...now do we have anything on sensors...and how close are we to the anamoly?
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
CEO: Understood.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: nods to the CSO :: CO: I believe the CSO has those figures for you Sir.
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
CSO: Interesting bit of info...so what might be possible?
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: begins to bleed power from everywhere possible and lines up conduits for rerouting that power engines and shields
CSO_Senn says:
CO:  Anything.  At the moment, we are dealing with Amobeas and simple bacteria.  Those could and probably will being become more complex over time, if historical records hold true.  They might also stabalize.
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
CO: Sir we are still being pulled into the anomaly.  We need warp engines back online and soon.
CSO_Senn says:
CO:  In a nut shell of the... situation.  We have a mini galaxy, possibly aritifially created, with life forms increasing.  If it keeps growing, it will eventually replace our own.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: realizes she hasn't eaten for a long time, feeling somewhat light headed and shaky ::
CSO_Senn says:
*CMO*:  Twin... didn't you do some project on protomater?
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::leaves T'ail to monitor radiation, and steps into her office, glad that there's been no medical emergencies during the short blackout::
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
FCO: Understood...is there any way to give the CEO a few more minutes...to sort of the couplings?
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::corrects the pitch just 000.8 degrees to starboard to keep her straight::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::her own voice... well, Eris', startles her:: *CSO* Yes... ::answers cautiously as she approaches her desk::
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
CO: Well sir we might try to bleed power directly from the fusion reactors to hold us here.  I believe we could hold this position for hopefully 5 to 6 minutes but that is it.
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
CSO: Hmmm...just what I need more trouble with Temporal Investigations...probably make a civilization from long ago...::continues to talk and it dies down::..Is there any way to stop it?  the growing of the galaxy?
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::punches her codes into the small console on her desk, and accesses her files, looking for that project in particular::
CSO_Senn says:
CMO: It would appear our anomoly is a growing galaxy filled with protomater and with the CTO's assistance, amoebas and simple bacteria.
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
FCO: Understood...do what you can...I'll see if I can get the CEO to be quick.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
CO : I have power-r r-readied from the r-reactor-r.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: Nods to the FCO ::
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
CO: Understood sir.
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
OPS: Lt....you look peckish...please gets food.
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
OPS: And thanks.
CSO_Senn says:
CO:  At the moment, I have no idea.  While Commander Ryan's idea worked, it accelerated the evolution of the protomater.  Continuing it.... well, the result will probably increase.
CSO_Senn says:
CO:  You are now dealing with life, not just simple matter.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: blinks at the Captain her large orange eyes glazed :: CO: Captain?
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
*CSO* You mean we had something to do with it? ::allows her twin sister access to her research files:: What did we do... ::reviews quickly the bridge report:: oh. Oh.
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
*CEO*: Would it be possible to cut the time down on the proceedure...seeing as if we wait to long we may already be in the anamoly.
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
CSO: Hmm...then stability is a must...we have to find away to stabilize...because I happen to like the galaxy I'm in at the moment.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CO: I'd like it to go on record, Sir, that my intention was to slow the growth of the anomally, not create life.
CEO_Ens_Trans says:
::Checks on Ricky's progress:: CO: Best I can do is 2 minutes
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::curses quietly as the latest sensor scans of the anomaly scroll on her screen::
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
OPS: Redirecting power to impulse engines now sir.
CSO_Senn says:
*CMO*:  We increased the evolution of the potential life.  It could become... anything.  However, we are still a ways away to be absolutely positive.
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
OPS: Hungry...its a term I picked up while reading a book in sickbay...i rather like it.
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
CEO: That will be welcomed...and any faster is also welcomed.
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
Self: Come on big C. Hang on for a few minutes more old girl.
CSO_Senn says:
CO: Would you destroy anothers galaxy?
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
CSO: And would you have ourselves destroyed as well???
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: cocks her head sideways at the CO, not speaking and utterly confused, finding it very hard to concentrate ::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Thinks a moment then smiles:: CO: However, if the powers that be want to name this newly forming galaxy after me....well, then...what's a girl to do? ::Grins::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::nods, even if her twin can't see her:: *CSO* I'll be on the bridge momentarily.
CSO_Senn says:
FCO:  Perhaps a compromise...
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
T'ail: Sickbay's yours, doctor. I'll be on the bridge. ::walks decisively out towards the turbolift::
CSO_Senn says:
FCO:  If we could stabalize it... after all, this region is unpopulated.
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
CSO: No...but we need to stop it...so it doesn't over take this one...there has to be away to stablize it ...so both can coexist.
MO_T'ail says:
CMO Acknowledged, sir. :: watches as the CMO leaves ::
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::leans over to OPS:: OPS: I hate to tell you but you must eat something.  You don't look good at all and I need you at your station as does all of us.  Please get something to eat from the replicator before you pass out.
CSO_Senn says:
Hmmm... :: slowly:: CO:  If we could somehow create a bubble, large enough... some kind of a field...
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
TL: Bridge.
CEO_Ens_Trans says:
::Recieves acknowledgement from Ens. Ricky. Prepares to reenforce the coupling with a containment field, just in case:: CO: We're ready to go, sir. Just getting the repair team out of the jeffries tube.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: stands slowly to her feet turning around slowly weaving slightly to the side ::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::arrives on the bridge after a short ride, and goes straight to the science console::
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
CEO: Good.  FCO: See what you can do...the CEO has made his repairs.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: tries to steady herself pointing herself toward the lift and stumbling toward it ::
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
CSO:  I like the bubble idea...could we somehow use the shields or..something to create the bubble around the anamoly?
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
CO: Understood sir. ::begins to key in for the warp engines to go to warp one::
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
ALL: Hang on people I am going to attempt to get to warp one now.
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::keys in and executes::
CSO_Senn says:
CO:  The problem with that sir, would be the amount of energy needed to generate it as well as to contain it.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CEO: Can you get someone on the long-range sensors, Chief?
CEO_Ens_Trans says:
CO: We should be able to get enough power for up to warp three. But let's see if we can keep it below that, or we might blow the relay.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::whispers:: CSO: This is amazing. Theoretically...
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
CSO: Yes...shoot.  Could we use some sort of ray to create the bubble...maybe something like what we hit it with before?
CEO_Ens_Trans says:
CTO: I'll see what I can do, sir.
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
FCO: Understood.
CSO_Senn says:
:: Quietly enough only her twin can hear.::  CMO:  Don't get any ideas...
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CEO: Thanks, Chief.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: tries to non-chalantly walk past the CMO without her notice ::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
CSO: But, twin...
CEO_Ens_Trans says:
::Inspects the LRS systems::
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::continues to key in the gradual increase into the warp engines as they establish warp one::
CSO_Senn says:
CO:  If we must... :: eyes her twin peripherally:: we could use that idea, but keep in mind the consequences.  I need to study these affects more.
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
CO: Sir warp one is achieved.
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
::Looks around and sees the OPS moving to the TL...and creates a diversion::  CMO: Oh my...its like theres two of you?
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::wonders why Chaser appears to be so self-conscious as she walks past her, but is more worried about how to shrink that galaxy, put it in a glass jar and look at it every night in her bedroom:

ACTION: A small column of purple smoke appears next to the CO's chair, and as it solidifies, a humanoid can be seen inside it.

CO:  Sir...
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Sees the smoke:: CO: Sir!
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::turns around and pulls her phaser and stands quickly::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
CO: Sir...
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
CO: Sir
CEO_Ens_Trans says:
CO: Sir...?
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
CTO/CMO/FCO:  Yes?  I see it.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Draws her phaser and aims it at the humanoid::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: almost makes it to the TL when she thinks she is hallucinating something standing on the bridge ::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::blinks at the vision::
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
CTO: Down.

ACTION: The humanoid takes shape and forms into a tall old human wearing a rich purple cloak and tall pointy purple hat.

CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
CO: I was going to tell you we're twins, as I had already warned you when we first met, but that's moot right now.
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: stumbles into the lift almost falling down in a stupored surprise ::
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::begins to slowly move from her station and then stops short::
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
::bows his head slightly and begins to speak::  Welcome.

ACTION: The human holds a long knarled staff and wears a long white beard.

CSO_Senn says:
:: Keeps from pulling out a weapon and just watches, leaning back against the console.::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::definitely distracted by the intruder, she starts a scan on the life form::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Thinks: What is this, Merlin?::
Newcomer says:
CO: Beatiful, isn't it?  ::points his staff at the anomaly on the viewscreen::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: holds the door to the lift open by leaning on it  a little harder than she should ::
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::stands staring curiously at the figure::
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
Newcomer: Oh yes...quite...might I inquire to your name?  Mine is Captain Alexander Taylor.
CSO_Senn says:
:: Reaches behind her and taps a button, glancing to make sure sensors were doing a complete scan of the stranger.::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::first time she sees an intruder welcomed so calmly... brownie point for the Captain although she'd not say so out loud::
Newcomer says:
CO: I see you are much nicer than other human ships I've been on.  Thank you.  My name is known to you humans as Fizer.
CSO_Senn says:
:: Glances at her twin with a raised brow.::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::looks down at the console, back to her twin, wishing for an answer::
OPS_LtCmdr_Chaser says:
:: takes a few deep breaths of relieft as she realizes others can see the humanoid as well ::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::turns to another console and does a quick search. Subject: "Fizer"::
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
::grins::  Fizer: Well Fizer...thank you.  So we should discuss some busy wouldn't you agree?
CSO_Senn says:
:: As her computer blinks a light and she looks at the answer, she sighs, shaking her head.::
