AXO_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: tries not to panic as the CMO comes toward her ::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::On the Bridge, standing at the tactical station, running scans on the sphere::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Breathing slowly, forcing calm... what a contrary notion, as she waits for a reply.::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::looks sternly at Chaser, pretty mad at her:: AXO: Stand still for a few seconds, sir.
AXO_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: resists the urge to run away ::
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::sitting still as a rock::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::checks the AXO's injury, a simple clean cut in a bleeding area:: AXO: A few seconds more.
AXO_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: closes her eyes and takes a deep breath ::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::waves the dermal regenerator over the area for the promised amount of time, then checks it's done its work to her satisfaction:: AXO: You don't have to hate it so much. ::lowers her voice:: It's bad for crew morale to see their commanding officer injured, not to mention running away from a medic.
AXO_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: hates that her mane is bloody and sticking to the back of her neck ::
AXO_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: sighs ::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::closes the tricorder with a snap, as the medical team she called for removes the Acting Operations officer from the bridge on an antigrav stretcher:: AXO: We're done.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
aXO: The sphere's dampening field is down by 12% to compensate for the damage we have done.
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::not wanting to move cause she has just realized that her console blew up in her face::
AXO_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: thinks good we can blow it up now but just nods to the CSO ::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::adds a "for the time being" to herself and turns to her sister::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Looks up from her monitor:: All: Sensors are picking up an energy build up coming from the sphere.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
Self: Oh oh
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Looks over to verify.::
AXO_Cmdr_Chaser says:
CTO: Same as befor-re?
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
AXO: Sir I suggest we get further away like now sir.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
AXO: Running a comparison now....stand by...
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Looks at the energy signature.  Something about it seems familiar.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CMO:  Twin... if your not busy... I need your brain.
AXO_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: shuts down the comm channel and returns to the command deck thinking she'd just like a warm bath and some chocolate ::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Puts the signature onto one of her screens as her sister joins her.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Sighs:: AXO: Tactical sensors cannot identify the energy build up, however Lieutenant Senn's sensors can.  ::Looks over to the CSO::
AXO_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: looks at the CSO::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Quietly talks with her sister and then opens her eyes wide with a shake of her head.::  CMO:  Is it possible?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Looks over at the Caitian.::  aXO:  Time to exit... very fast.
AXO_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: sits down heavily in the command chair :: FCO: Get us out of her-re,

ACTION: A ring forms around the equator of the sphere.

CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CTO:  Are you familiar with genesis?
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::turns her head to a side, her heart pounding in her chest:: CSO: It... kind of looks like it.
AXO_Cmdr_Chaser says:
FCO: Exit vector warp 9
AXO_Cmdr_Chaser says:
FCO: Engage.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
aXO:  Faster would be better....
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CSO: Only what I've read in the reports.  Is that what is going on here?  ::Eyes widen::
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
AXO: Exit vector waarp 9 engaged sir.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
CSO/Self: Who are these people...?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CTO:  Genesis is not exactly in the common book.  But the signatures match.  I think I would rather figure out later I was wrong then become something else entirely.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CMO: With Fizer involved... who knows.
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
CEO: If we are going to beat that shock wave I suggest you take the warp core to 110% sir.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Nods to the CSO:: CSO: I agree...
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
CSO: It's just that I am wondering if Fizer's involved in this or if he just saw the chance to involve us
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: Claymore warps away from the giant sphere.
CEO_Ens_Trans says:
FCO: Don't worry sir, I've got it covered
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: The computer finishes its analyais:: aXO:  The signuature is similiar to what was once called the genesis project.  Variation is 12%.
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::maintains the exit vector::
AXO_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: thinks she'd really like to land on the sphere and be reborn ::
AXO_Cmdr_Chaser says:
CSO: How long till impact ?
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The energy ring around the sphere flashes and quickly expands outward and dissapates into the new and growing galaxy.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Watches, her eyes widdening.::  CMO:  Well I be... I wonder...
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
aXO:  Commander, the energy passed through us unharmed.  I have a theory.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
CSO: Please share...
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Looks up at the CSO with interest::
AXO_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: turns weary eyes at the CSO: CSO: What is your-r theor-ry?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Nods to the sphere::  All:  Protomatter was at the heart of the genesis project.   This system is full of protomatter.  It is growing...  perhaps we have discovered the source.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
<to = toward>
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
CSO: Passed through us?
AXO_Cmdr_Chaser says:
FCO: Take us out of war-rp. CSO what do sensor-rs say?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
FCO:  Aye... it went through us.
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
FCO: Taking the ship down to impulse sir.
AXO_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: sinks in her chair ::
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
CEO: Sir taking the engines down slowly to impulse.
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::hears the warp engines whine down and soon the ship is on impulse drive::
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: Claymore slows to impulse but continues to head away from the sphere.
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
AXO: Sir ship is now on impulse power.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
aXO: Scans show that the surrounding protomatter has increased by 34% and it has become stable.
AXO_Cmdr_Chaser says:
FCO: Take us in a long range orbit of the sphere, CSO CTO: Continue scans.
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
AXO: And we still are heading away from the sphere.
AXO_Cmdr_Chaser says:
CEO: How ar-re r-repairs coming?
AXO_Cmdr_Chaser says:
CMO : How is our OPS officer?
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
AXO: Now making long range orbit of the sphere sir.  ::taps in the  coordinates and impliments them::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::running similar scans on her console as the CSO's, her head swarming with ideas for a new research subject, although she's more interested in finding out who those people on the sphere are::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
AXO: Sickbay report he's still unconscious but stable, same for the Captain, although he's not lucky enough to be unconscious..
CEO_Ens_Trans says:
AXO: We should be good as new in about an hour. Nothing a we need to dock for, sir.
AXO_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: thinks she should probably tell the CMO she has a terrible headache but just stares at her instead ::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Looks at her sister.::  CMO:  You are going to love this... they have accomplished what the scientists in the Federation have failed at.  The protomatter is stable... and predictable here.
AXO_Cmdr_Chaser says:
CEO: Aye, thank you.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
aXO:  Could we try again to contact who ever is on that sphere?  This kind of discovery... :: Shakes her head as the magnitude.::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
CSO: I am looking at that, trying to ascertain the properties of the energy ring that went through us. That has to be the key... or at least one of them. The other is the sphere that generated it.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::nods:: AXO: I agree.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
AXO: That sphere would make a good weapon.
AXO_Cmdr_Chaser says:
CSO/CMO: We got no r-response to our-r hail.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::throws the CTO an "I don't like how you think" look::
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
AXO: Sir now in long range orbit of the new what ever you call it.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
AXO: Well, we did kind of start with the bad foot, since the Romulans got there first. Not a nice introduction card if you ask me.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Thinks about experimenting with protomatter....the applications...the weapons...::
AXO_Cmdr_Chaser says:
CTO: Please dr-raw up a battle plan incase we have to engage the spher-re again in combat.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
aXO:  Perhaps a nonstandard hail?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
AXO: Aye, Sir.
AXO_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: doesn't care any more :: CSO: Make it so.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: looks oddly at commander Chaser.::  aXO:  Aye ma'am.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Turns around::  CMO:  Any suggestions?  I am going to start with mathematical first, as that is often a common language of many species.
AXO_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: closes her eyes leaning back in her chair ;:
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
CSO: What are you thinking in therms of nonstandard? I'm thinking in terms of the protomatter chemical string.

ACTION: Fizer's voice reverberates from the bulkheads once again...

CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
CSO: That should get their attention.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Quietly::  shoot....
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::puts her hands instinctively over her ears as  Fizer's voice::
AXO_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: sits up straight in her chair, her ears perked forward ::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Looks at her sister with a sigh.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Looks up as Fizer's voice sounds on the Bridge::
Fizer says:
All: You humans are curious, indeed.  You finally find what you are looking for and then try to destroy it!  Since you can't destroy it, you try to communicate with it!  Yet, you know not its true nature....
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
Self: This can't be good.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::prepares the "message" for the sphere's inhabitants as Fizer's voice tries to distract her::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::can't help herself:: Fizer: We kind of do, you know?
AXO_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: doesn't respond ::
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
Fizer: Then please tell us what its true nature is.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Does not mention that they could have destroyed it.::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::bites her lower lip until the FCO speaks up, at least she's not the only one::

ACTION: Fizer appears next to the FCO inhis customary cloud of puprple smoke.

AXO_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: stands to her feet  glaring at Fizer ::
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::senses something but is not what sure::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
::Places her hand on her phaser but doesn't pull it from the holster::
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::looks to see Fizer standing right next to her::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Wonders if there is some connection to the color purple as she turns around and begins a mathmatical message to send, listening.::
AXO_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: half thinks of letting the CTO shoot the lil FIzer man in the butt ::
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
Fizer: As I asked would you please tell us exactly what its true nature is.  I am just as curious as you.
Fizer says:
FCO: But that would make things too easy, would it not?
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
Fizer: It might make things some what easy but not to the degree you might think.
Fizer says:
All: Is it not obvious that this is a threat to your very survival?
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
Fizer: That's why I said we kind of do
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Sends the message.::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
Fizer: However, we still have to ascertain a few things before declaring them public enemy number one.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Gets no reply and tries pictures.::
AXO_Cmdr_Chaser says:
FIZER: What pur-rpose does all this ser-rve, just send us back to our-r own galaxy. R-retur-rn us.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::sends the chemical strings to Eris' console::
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
Fizer: First if this is a threat to our survival why put us in that danger?  Why not just remove the danger.  We are also a curious race of beings and we learn through our experiences of what not to do the next time the event presents itself to us.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: nods and tries that next.  Quietly adds.::  CMO:  The universe is still expanding.
Fizer says:
CMO: Since it seems that you will forever chase your tails...::sighs::...you have an invasion occurring right in front of you.  An invasion that will supplant your own galaxy within weeks.  I was merely trying to help.  Now, alas, you are on your own...
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::replies quietly as well:: CSO: The thing we need to find out is if they know they are to destroy a galaxy with "owners" or not... I mean, the universe is big enough, they could probably move somewhere else.
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: Fizer disappears in a puff of purple smoke.
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
AXO: Invasion????
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
FCO: It's not incredible. We had not called it as such at first, but we did come to the conclusion it was not healthy for the Milky Way.
AXO_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: sighs ::  FCO : I don't know .
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: To no one.::  Ok... lovely.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
All:  Wait... do we trust Fizer?
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
CSO: Not necessarily, but he's not saying anything we haven't thought already.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CSO: What would happen if we transported a photon torpedo into the sphere and remote detonated it?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CMO:  I admit, invasion had not really crossed my mind.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CTO:  Might destroy it...
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
All: Right now communication is important because we could figure out these... people's intentions. If they know what they are doing, then we and everyone else in this galaxy are truly in danger
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CSO: Will our transporter beam penetrate the dampening field?
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
AXO: He is in all reality giving us a choice of what action to take here.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
All: So far we do know the anomaly is expanding and will replace our galaxy if allowed to continue. If we cannot communicate with them and negotiate a relocation... ::shrugs and nods to the FCO::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CMO:  I think they are recieving... understanding, I am not so certain about.  They could be waiting for something... but I have no idea what.
AXO_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: doesn't care what FIzer is doing ::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
CSO: We, on the other hand, can't wait forever
AXO_Cmdr_Chaser says:
CSO: What did you get back when you hailed them?

ACTION: The sphere sends out another pulse as before.

CSO_Lt_Senn says:
aXO:  Nothing as of yet ma'am.  Another pulse is about to be sent out.
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
ALL: Is there a possible way to contain the expanding galaxy?
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
CSO: They are coming more frequent now
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
FCO: Only if we could change the universe's mass.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Double checks with the computer.::  CTO:  Not at its current strenght.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CSO: Then we need to find a way to weaken the dampening field just enough to allow a transporter beam to penetrate.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Bites her lip a moment in disgust.::  CTO:  We could continue what we were doing... they might even answer.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
CSO: We do have another option... not that I'm happy about it.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CSO: You heard Fizer, we have two weeks to stop this thing or else our own galaxy is history.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Looks at the computers newest completed analysis.:: aXO/CMO:  There is now evidence of evolved life in a few of the closer star systems.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
CSO: Since our own experience with protomatter, we do not know how to stabilize it, but we are definitely good at destabilizing it.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::closes her eyes at the new information::
AXO_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: turns to the CSO: CSO: Life?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Quietly::  CMO:  Twin... all that life...
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
aXO:  Yes ma'am.
AXO_Cmdr_Chaser says:
CSO: What kind of life?
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::nods, with her eyes still closed::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CSO: What about a computer virus?  Can we send a computer virus to the sphere?
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
AXO: But if we choose to end the lives what would the consequences be?  Who would we beable to justify taking life in order to preserve life?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
aXO:  At this distance, that answer is a bit challanging to answer.  I think we are looking at more complicated bacteria, the beginnings of early water life.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::opens them:: CSO: It's not necessary to destroy them.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CTO:  That might... be possible.  It will take some work and we still have to get it through the shielding... probably have to camoflouge it.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
AXO: We could destabilize all areas with no sentient life... force them to talk to us.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CMO:  Not if we can stop the expansion.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CSO: Well, it's an idea.  Maybe we can program the sphere to shut itself down.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
AXO/CSO: If the anomaly does not expand any more, nobody says they cannot stay.
AXO_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: bacteria she thinks to herself couldn't we take a sample and kill of the rest ::
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
CMO: If we did that what makes it so sure that we wouldn't beable to stop the reaction from continuing to the entire galaxy?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
aXO:  At the current rate... it will not take much for evolution to advance quickly.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
FCO: Our genesis torpedos are not big nor efficient enough to affect more than a given area.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
aXO:  Shall I get onto a program?
AXO_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: looks at the CSO with pain in her eyes :: CSO : Aye.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
FCO: As it is, it would take quite a few just to make any sensible damage to this anomaly.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ryan says:
CSO: Without those pulses from the sphere shouldn't life evolve normally?
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
CMO: Unless we can widen the yeild.
