Host Beth says:
Summary:  The crew of the USS Claymore have had a lot of time to play with their new toys while on their way to find a beacon that is sending out a perplexing signal.
Host Beth says:
What awaits our gallant crew in the nebula?  Who could have sent out that signal?  What does it mean?  And why is the EMH wearing a kilt on Thursdays?
Host Beth says:
The answers to these and other questions can be found in the next exciting chapter of - “Phoenix Rising”  Stardate 10712.11

CSO_Lt_Senn says:
::Ordering the lift to the bridge, she steps off as soon as it stops and heads for her station.::
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::examines read-out carefully as the ship's powerful sensors pluck more and more data from the stream::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::turns to Commander Davis and walks over to him.::  OPS: Is it coming from the beacon or another source?
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Looks up and nods:: CMO: I have.  What are your orders?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Logging on, she then turns to look over her shoulder to catch the discussion going on.::
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
CO: The origin of the signal is in fact the beacon.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Sees Eris enter the bridge and nods to her as she takes her station.::
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::Frowns at the sensor read-out as it displays the wavelength readings::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Nodding, turns around to pull up telemetry:: CO: I have a class one and a class two probe ready to launch.  I can send the class two out on your orders.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
OPS: Can you determine if it is some sort of communication signal?
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
MO:  If you can handle the arrangements for the cargo bay and anything else that comes up, I'll head to the bridge and stay in touch with you and sickbay.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
CO: Sensors indicate that the signal is somewhat regular...almost as if it is producing some kind of pattern.
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
CMO: Am I to coordinate with Lieutenant Senn regarding the containment equipment?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CSO: Acknowledged.  Begin launch of the class two probe into the nebula.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: With a nod, taps the launch button.::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
MO:  I would assume so.  If you want to get in touch with her, you can, or I can ask her when I arrive on the bridge.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
<SrChief_Matthews> ::flips through PADDS quickly, observing readouts which are almost universally standard::
Host Beth says:
ACTION: The probe shoots off at high warp and is soon out of sight.  Soon data is being sent back to the science console.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
OPS: Can you run a diagnostic on the pattern itself and determine what the signal is transmitting.  Also, see if you can determine what species might have this technology.
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
CMO: If you would ask if she's secured the equipment and had it set up, or if I can get that started for her...
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::figures he'll just whip that right up for the captain::
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::filters signal through audio index and the universal translator::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
MO:  Not a problem.  Anything else before I go?
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
CMO: You can let Captain T'Shara know that thus far there have been no anomalous readings in the crew correlating to proximity to the nebula. No adverse affects detected thus far.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CSO: What were your initial findings on the nebula from Astrometrics Lieutenant?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Glances through the telemetry...::  CO: Nothing out of the ordinary... standard information.
FCO_Ens_Noname_Bob says:
::Makes a few minor corrections to the ships heading.::
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::watches as the computer flips through potential translation matrixes, but each one seems to come up empty::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
MO:  Will do.  If you need anything, let me know.  I'm sure everyone else has their hands full, so I can pass any messages along as necessary.  ::Nods once and heads for the office::
FCO_Ens_Noname_Bob says:
::Rechecks the Navigational sensors to find the most stable entry into the nebula.::
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::eyes the audio index for a moment; the console is quickly shifting and changing as it rips apart the signal::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CO: I am reading standard dust, hydrogen gas and plasma... early stages of a stars cycle.  Radiation levels normal.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Turns to the CSO:: CSO: Understood hopefully the probes will pick up more information for us to go on.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: nods::
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::turns::  CO: Captain...
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::watches the computer's conclusion, but he's not sure he believes it; he patches the signal through and prepares to play it on the speakers::

Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Stands next to Commander Davis waiting and listening.::  OPS: What is it Commander?
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::nods slightly as a gesture to speakers::  CO: Listen..
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CSO: What is your recommendation thus far Lieutenant on entry into the nebula?  Do you foresee any problems for the crew or the ship?
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Picks up his lab coat and puts it on, moving out into the corridor for the nearest turbolift, entering::  Turbolift:  ...Bridge, please.
Host Beth says:
ACTION: A tinkling sound comes over the speakers...almost as if it is like an old music box.  The tune is hauntingly familiar.  Those with any knowledge of Earth children's tunes would recognize it as: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::recognizes the tune immediately, and he feels a cold shiver run down his spine::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::With another lack of results, drops the PADD softly into place and stands from her station, moving toward the center of the ward. Spots Amica and catches his eye, silently calling him up::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Looks over at the speakers and listens, raising an eyebrow.::  OPS: Isn't that an old Earth tune?
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
<SrChief_Matthews> ::wonders if this would be a good time for a readiness drill in Main Engineering::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Lifts a brow at the tune::  CO: As far as I can tell, it is as safe as any other nebula.  Enter with caution.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::nods slowly as he listens, and his eyes kind of glaze over as he begins to stare off not into the console, but into a memory from childhood::
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
CO: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CSO: Acknowledged Lieutenant.  Notify Medical of your findings and confirm that before we enter.  I don't want to take any risks.
FCO_Ens_Noname_Bob says:
::Tries to tune out the creepy little toon and continues to watch the sensors.::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
<Amica>  MO:  Yes, Doctor?  ::Makes his way over to her station from the equipment cart::
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
<SrChief_Matthews> ::accesses the computer and views the inventory of readiness drills::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Steps out into the bridge from the turbolift, taking things in...half-raises an eyebrow in response to the music coming over the speakers::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CSO: Can you determine the inner workings of the probe?  Is it a recording or is it being broadcasted to the probe from some other source?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
*CMO*: I am sending you the electromagnetic readings from the nebula along with the levels of intensity for your verification that it safe for our entry.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::requests that the audio index break the signal down further into basic components, trying to identify a potential origin::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Looks around, getting Senn in stereo::  CSO:  Oh, I'm right here.  ::Holds up his PADD in a greeting wave, making his way over to the science station::
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::other than the beacon, that is - namely, he's wondering if humans made the beacon::

<SrChief_Matthews> ::eyes rest upon coolant leak, an old favorite of his::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: shaking her head as she finishes looking over the data::  CO:  This is not some manufactured item... looks almost... hand made.  Something more likely cobbled together.
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
Amica: As we near and enter the nebula, I want a more accurate idea of any affects upon the crew. Please compile a list of crew members, a cross-section of the crew, both by rank, species, age, gender, and department. Roughly...50 individuals.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
<TO_Andrews> ::clears her throat softly::
FCO_Ens_Noname_Bob says:
::Stops and rechecks the data.:: CO: Captain.  I'm seeing signs of a warp trail heading into the nebula.
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
Amica: We will schedule these to both come into sickbay, and be visited by med teams, for frequent physicals, both of the full and field variety. We'll keep the results analyzed on a semi-hourly basis, at minimum.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Waits nearby Senn's station, not wishing to interrupt, never mind his inherent lack of comfort with bridge duty::
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
<SrChief_Matthews> *OPS*: Matthews to Davis.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::curious stops snap away as he hears the intercom::  *Matthews*: Go ahead, Senior Chief.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::raising an eyebrow she walks over to the middle of the bridge and stands in front of her chair.::  CSO/OPS: Can we determine possibly what species might have the technology to assemble such a device?
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
<SrChief_Matthews> ::stands and heads towards wall console in office::  *OPS*: We're looking at a five minute readiness drill here, Commander. I wanted to alert the Bridge.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Looks up:: CMO: Sorry doc... :: sighs:: I admit, my mind is a bit scattered at the moment.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
<Amica>  MO:  Understood, ma'am.  I will work up a schedule and provide it to you for verification.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
*Matthews*: If you hurry, Senior Chief. We'll need your people ready.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Smiles with understanding::  CSO:  Not a problem.  If you sent that scan data to sickbay, I'll give Raeyld a notice to look it over.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
<SrChief_Matthews> ::enters the readiness drill into the computer and initiates::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CMO: I have it right here as well... :: taps and pulls up another screen.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Heads down to the helm.::  FCO: You say there is a warp trail going into the nebula?  How long ago was the trail left?
FCO_Ens_Noname_Bob says:
::Turns back to the Captain.::  CO: I can tell you it doesn't match any single warp signature.  It looks like a combination of several federation and non-federation signatures.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CO: Probably any species, but given the tune...might be human.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
<SrChief_Matthews> *OPS*: Understood. Engineering out.
FCO_Ens_Noname_Bob says:
::Turns back to the sensors to check for dispersion.::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
Amica: Thank you. I'll review it within the hour.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::cross references Twinkle Twinkle Little Star in the cultural database, wondering if other cultures use the song, or a close variation of it::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CO: The warp trail is beyond the nebula... origin... :: scans the telemetry::  Unknown signature.
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Checks her mental clock, wondering if she'll be needed in the cargo bay soon::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
CSO:  Oh, very good.  ::Steps to the side and looks at the panel::  I don't think these levels will present a problem.
FCO_Ens_Noname_Bob says:
::Turns back to the Captain.:: CO: Looks like about a month.  Seems to be around the same time the signal was first picked up.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
::glances over::  CMO: They appear standard...
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CO: Permission to launch the class one probe.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
<Amica>  ::Stands nearby, still at a somewhat relaxed attention::  MO:  Is there anything else I can do for you?
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
<TO_Andrews> ::scans surrounding area for any vessels or any activity::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Notes an oddity and does a comparison of the two trails.::  Hmm... CO: The two warp trails do not match... different vessels.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
FCO/CSO: So it is safe to say if we could find the origin of the warp trail we would find who is responsible for this probe.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Nods, having reviewed the readings more thoroughly::  CSO:  I agree.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CO: Nope.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CSO: Launch probe now Lieutenant.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
<SrChief_Matthews> ::exits office just as the alarm goes off, and officers and crewmen alike begin to scramble as the drill begins in earnest::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Nods and reaches slightly over the doctor to tap the launch button.::  CMO: Excuse me, doc.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
<SrChief_Matthews> ALL: Coolant leak! Clear the area! Let's go..! ::tugs the uniform of the nearest crewman and ushers him through the containment door opening::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
CSO:  Oh, pardon me.  ::Stands back a few steps::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CMO: No problem at all.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
<TO_Andrews> ::sighs as she detects nothing but stray warp signatures or something - she doesn't even care to know what they are::
Host Beth says:
ACTION: The probe launches and merrily goes on its way following after its little brother towards the nebula.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
<SrChief_Matthews> ::checks around the warp core to see if any crewmen are still hanging around; he sees no one::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CSO: So it is logical to say that whomever handmade the probe also probably has an unidentifiable ship that they have probably pieced together from different ships they have found.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Pulls up the new probes telemetry::  CO: Composition of the probe appears to be hodgepodge... verifies the 'homemade' idea.  I am reading various metals that are Federation, Ferengi and Klingon.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CO: Could be... that would fit.  There are a couple of races who tend to do that.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
CSO:  Before I forget...I've got Raeyld handling the setup of the decontamination equipment in the cargo bay...is there any coordination we can provide with the science department?  I'd figured you'll be handling the analysis if we bring the probe onboard.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
<SrChief_Matthews>  ::exits under the containment door via a confident stride, though he doesn't waste time rolling or doing anything silly; officers have a knack for the dramatics more so than enlisted men::
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
<SrChief_Matthews> ::nods with approval as the door closes::
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
<SrChief_Matthews> *OPS*: Matthews to Davis.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:. Looks at Welland, considering, then shakes her head::  CMO: Nothing at the moment... it sounds like you have that well in hand.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
*Matthews*: Go ahead Senior Chief.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
<SrChief_Matthews> ::releases containment door so engineers can return to work::  *OPS*: Drill complete.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
*Matthews*: Acknowledged. Bridge out.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
*MO*:  Welland to Raeyld.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CSO/CMO: So Doctor and Lieutenant Senn from your conclusion is it safe for us to take the Claymore into the nebula so we can get a closer look at the beacon and begin retrieval?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Looks at the doctor and then back at the captain and nods.::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
Amica: That's all for now, thank you.  ::Inclines her head upward and taps her commbadge:: *CMO*: Raeyld here.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Looks to Senn, then back to the captain, and nods::
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
<SrChief_Matthews> ::strolls back into office to complete drill paperwork::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
*MO*:  It sounds like medical will be entirely in charge of securing the probe from a health and welfare standpoint.
Host Beth says:
TIME WARP: It is now a half day later and the Claymore is 5 minutes away from entering the nebula.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::feels like time has flown by::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
FCO: Ensign drop us out of warp and maintain current heading.
FCO_Ens_Noname_Bob says:
::Gently drops the Claymore out of warp and continues on same heading.::: CO:  Aye Captain.  Dropping out of warp and maintaining current heading.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
<SrChief_Matthews> ::arrives on Bridge, against his better judgment::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Working with Astrometrics on the data, asks a few questions.::
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
<SrChief_Matthews> ::finds the aft engineering station on the Bridge and sits down::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: nods as she listens.:: *Keysar*: Got it... just wanted to make sure.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::glosses over sensor data::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Waiting nearby the science consoles, well out of the way to avoid looking over the shoulders of any science personnel, his hands folded behind his back::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
OPS: Reroute additional power to the deflector dish, structural integrity fields and internal dampeners as needed.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Turns around::  CO: I have the two trails verified.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
CO: We're coming up pretty quickly on the beacon itself, Captain.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::accesses the computer's power management program and begins redrawing power to these systems - deflector dish, SIF, and internal dampeners::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
<Amica>  ::Enters Cargo Bay 1, looking around for Raeyld::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CO:  While the one warp trail enters, I can find no exit trail of that makeup.  The other warp trail obviously enters and exits.
FCO_Ens_Noname_Bob says:
CO: Captain three minutes to nebula at current speed.  ::looks back over the nav data making sure this is the most stable path into the nebula.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
OPS: Noted.  Begin preparation to bring the beacon aboard.
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::In the cargo bay, finalizing the setup of the containment equipment.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CMO: Are we prepared in Cargo Bay 1 for decontamination?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
FCO: Understood maintain heading.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::alerts personnel in Cargo Bay 1 to stand by::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
CO:  Everything's ready as far as I know, Captain.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CSO: Are you saying there might be another vessel sitting inside the Nebula?  Are sensors picking up any other vessels in the nebula at this time?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CMO: Acknowledged.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CO: That is what the trail suggests, however, I have yet to find any evidence of another vessel.  Keep in mind, things can get lost inside this stellar matter.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CSO: Aye, Lieutenant.  Keep monitoring sensors.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
OPS: Monitor comm signals I want to know if you pickup anything in the area of any incoming or outgoing communications.
FCO_Ens_Noname_Bob says:
CO: Captain we are at the outer edge of the nebula.  Shall we continue inside?
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::accesses communications relays and tracks all signals::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
FCO: Aye, Ensign take us in at 1/4 impulse.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
<Amica>  ::To lessening degrees of volume while making the walk across the cargo bay::  MO:  Doctor, I have the schedule and list prepared.  The first group has been notified, and Sokov took a few techs to Engineering to keep an eye on things there, for the time being.  I'll be conducting examinations on the sickbay personnel...
FCO_Ens_Noname_Bob says:
CO: Aye 1/4 impulse captain.  ::Reduces speed to 1/4 impulse and brings the Claymore into the nebula.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
TO_Andrew: Maintain Yellow alert.  This is a first contact but I want to be ready for anything.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
<Amica>  MO:  That is, if the schedule meets with your approval.  ::Proffers the PADD::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CO: I have a very generalized location here.
FCO_Ens_Noname_Bob says:
::Looks over the navigational sensors and tries to clear some of the distortion coming from the nebula.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CO: One vessel was coming from the general direction of the Ferengi Empire... and when it exits, it heads in the direction of Romulan space.  Of course, space is a big place and there could be any stops in between.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
<TO_Andrew> ::clears throat::  CO: Aye ma'am.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Walks over to the science console and looks at the data.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CO: As for the other trail... comes in from the general direction of the Federation... I am still having problems locating where it went once inside.  And unfortunately, the trails are degrading.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::scratches head::  CO: Captain, the beacon is 5000 meters off the port bow.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
FCO: All stop.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::signals Cargo Bay 1 to lock on to beacon but wait for orders to engage transporters::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Looks up from her examination of the equipment, trying to keep the slight frustration out of her voice and expression. Accepts and reviews the PADD:: Amica: The schedule is excellent. Please enact it immediately.
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
Amica: I'll notify Welland of those bridge staff, who will be under observation, and he can oversee their scans, unless he notifies us he is unavailable.
FCO_Ens_Noname_Bob says:
CO: Aye Captain all stop. ::Disables the impulse engines and puts the claymore in park before engaging the parking break.::
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
<Crewman_Jobu> ::begins trying to maintain a lock on the beacon::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
OPS: Acknowledged Commander.  Coordinate with Medical and begin transport.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
<Amica>  MO:  Thank you, ma'am.  I will see to it that it is set into motion.  Can I do anything else to assist you?  ::Takes a cursory look at the decontamination equipment::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Sends the probes further into the nebula, keeping a close contact with them.::
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
<Crewman_Jobu> ::curses the computer as it struggles to lock on to the beacon::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
*SO Archimedes*: We are about to transport... are you ready?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
<SO Archimedes> *CSO*: Not yet... I will head there now.
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
Amica: Everything looks set; I've only to notify the bridge.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
<Crewman_Jobu> *OPS*: Cargo Bay 1 to Commander Davis.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
*Jobu*: Go ahead.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
<Amica>  ::Nods once::  MO:  I will be in Sickbay.  ::Turns and heads for the exit::
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
<Crewman_Jobu> ::slaps console::  *OPS*: Sir, we can't lock on to the beacon. There's some sort of natural phenomenon that is preventing it.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::frowns::  *Jobu*: Acknowledged. Bridge out.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CSO: Any further information coming in from the probes?
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
*CO*: Captain, the containment equipment is ready in Cargo Bay 1, when you are ready to transport. We are currently lacking only representatives from the science department.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::scans surrounding area with short range sensors::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Looks at Davis and then turns back to her scans.::  CO: I did not pick up anything before...
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: shakes her head, slowly... :: CO: Nope... I am not reading anything.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
CO: Captain, there appears to be several gases within the nebula that are interfering with transporters. I can't lock on to the beacon itself.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
<SO Archimedes> :: Making his way into the cargo bay, glances around at the set up and nods.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Looks over at Davis and back down at Lieutenant Senn.::  *MO*: Stand by there seems to be a problem with transport.  We are unable to lock onto the beacon at this time.  Will keep you posted.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
<TO_Andrews> OPS, CO: What about a tractor beam to draw it closer?
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
*CO*: Aye sir. As an update, Science Officer Archimedes has arrived.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
TO/OPS: Aye, see if you can lock onto the beacon and once it is in close proximity try another transport.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::nods::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
*MO*: Acknowledged Lieutenant.  T'Shara out.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
<SO Archimedes> *CSO*: Ready when they are...
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
<TO_Andrews> ::identifies coordinates of beacon, then activates tractor beam to draw it closer to ship::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
*SO*: There might be a small glitch, hold on and let however is with you know.
OPS_LtCmdr_Davis says:
<SrChief_Matthews> ::shakes head, not figuring that this will work::
Host Beth says:
ACTION: The tractor beam is barely responsive but it works enough to catch and pull the beacon back towards the ship.  Closer to the ship, where the gases are less, the transporters are able to work and the beacon rests softly in its new little home in the cargo bay.
Host Beth says:
