************************* Resume Mission ***********************

aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Reviews a status update from the bridge::
OPS Lt Fong says:
<aOPS PO Cawney>::At the bridge operations station monitoring the automated hail of Aegir station for a reply.::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::In her office, alone, as she reviews the newest reports... which are weak at best.::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::In the cargo bay with the MIDAS style relay, continuing to make repairs::
SO Lt Sov-masu says:
::On the bridge, keep an eye on the planet and going through sensor data in general for gathering material.::
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Slowly pacing the bridge, reviewing a status report. She's managed not to frantically pace as she does in the privacy of the Ready Room or her quarters, but neither can she anymore remain entirely stationary in the CO's chair::
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Touches her commbadge::  *CSO*: Lieutenant Commander, what's the status of the tachyon beam preparations?
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Frowns as she is pulled out of her concentration... not realizing she had been so deep in it.  It takes a moment to put the question and voice to name.::  *CO*:  It is almost ready to be set out.  As mentioned before, it will not get the entire system, but I have got it so that we can cover 150,000 km range from the Claymore.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
*CO*:  We move and we cover more area.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
*CSO*: Great. We'll start searching along the coordinates of the sensor anomaly you detected when the MIDAS relay was transported...if nothing pans out there, redirect the search toward Ondullule instead, at your discretion.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Sitting in the operational sub, going over his investigation notes thus far::
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
*CSO*: Do you need anything?
TO Ens Kytides says:
@::Stands from the wall he had been leaning against, carefully but nonchalantly watching people work on repairs as he had during his break times anyway, though now looking for anything or anyone odd::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
*aCO*:  No... I just need to tie off a few equations and finish imputing into the system.  I could be up shortly.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
@::At one of the operational consoles in the science lab, running through background checks of the station staff::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Taps his commbadge::  *TO*:  Damrok to Kytides.  Status report.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
*CSO*: Good. As soon as you have the opportunity, there's something we need to discuss. I'll see you then.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
*aCO*:  Give me about ten minutes.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Stares at one of the parameters on her screen with a frown.::  CPU:  All right, I give, you figure it out.  ::She taps one of the send controls.::
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
*CSO*: Acknowledged. Raeyld out.    ::Touches the commbadge twice more, switching the call::  *OPS*: Mr. Fong, what's your latest estimate on remaining repair time for the MIDAS array?
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
@*CTO*  Hawk to Damrok.  I've gone through the station staff records and background checks.  The majority of them are boring scientist types with impeccable backgrounds.  Yawn.  Most of them have also been together since the station went operational.  There are 4 members that stand out.  They've all shown up in the last 5 months.  They replaced 5 staff that suddenly were transferred over the protests of both Commander Reynolds and Doctor Gradle.
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Draws back slightly his arm sliding out of the tangle of parts it had been elbow deep in:: *CO* Twenty-four to thirty six hours.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Pauses a moment:: *OPS*: And the Jarrow?
TO Ens Kytides says:
@::Starts to wander off to a more private area as he responds::  *CTO*:  Kytides here, Sir.  Haven't seen anything out of the ordinary yet.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::As the equations pour across the screen, she reaches up to tap a few of them until she gets the setting she wants.::  CPU:  Input set up and prepare for initiation.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@*CAG*:  I see.  Do we know for certain those four personnel are still aboard the station?
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@*TO*:  Understood.  Damrok out.
SMDrew says:
<EO Carlson> *OPS*:  Sir we have the Jarrow repairs complete.  She is ready if you need her.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
@*CTO*  I don't see any indication of a transfer.  I don't know if they're onboard this instant.  In the confusion of the quakes and evacs, station records aren't exactly up to date.
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Checks the padd with the update from the flight deck then pauses as he gets the message from the deck:: *CO* Jarrow is ready now ma'am
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::As the computer bleeps at her that it is finished, she pulls out a padd and takes some notes as well as jotting down a quick report.::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::With that completed, she looks at the chronometer, she was close to the time mentioned to the CMO so she heads on out and up.::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Thinks about it a moment::  *CAG*:  If you can pull their biometrics, personnel file photos, et cetera...share them with Kytides and try to track them down, as quietly as possible.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
@*CTO*:  Understood  ::Bends to the console to see if he can pull up the requested info::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::As the lift stops, she steps off onto the bridge and looks for Raeyld::  aCO:  It is ready to go online upon your command.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@*CAG*:  I have some news to share that -- ::Pauses::  ...let's just say your findings do not surprise me.  I shouldn't discuss it any further over this channel.  If you find anything else, let me know.  ::Stands and heads toward the hatch to reenter the base proper::
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
@*TO*: Hawk to Kytides.  Please meet me in the science lab
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
@*CTO*:  Roger that, sir.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Sighs with relief...that's one of the few pieces of good news she's heard in what seems like ages:: *OPS*: Good work.  Work with Flight to prepare all nine shuttles and the Jarrow for launch. Notify me if any are in less than optimal shape for low-altitude orbit and atmospheric entry.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Continues on::  *CAG*:  Damrok out.  ::Heads towards Reynolds' office, and rings the chime::
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
*OPS*: More detailed orders will be forwarded to the flight department within the hour.
TO Ens Kytides says:
@::Taps his commbadge while changing direction as seamlessly as possible::  *CAG*:  On my way.
SMDrew says:
@<Cmdr Reynolds> ::Looks up from the desk monitor.::  Outloud: Enter.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Turns and nods to Senn in acknowledgement as the scientist joins the bridge, and the doctor awaits any reply from Fong::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Moving over to the science station, she nods to Sov-masu a greeting and tells him to remain in place as she steps to the auxiliary console.::
TO Ens Kytides says:
@::Enters the science lab and heads for Hawk, nodding in greeting as he stops beside him::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::She taps the command to activate the tachyon beam::
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
@TO:  Thanks for coming so quickly.  There are 4 members of the station staff that all magically showed up about 5 months ago, over the protests of the Reynolds and the Doctor.  Damrok wants us to try and track them down.  Locate them and report to him.  I'm transferring picture and biometric data to your tricorder.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Enters Reynolds' office::  Reynolds:  Sir.  ::Approaches the desk::
SMDrew says:
@<Cmdr Reynolds> ::Stands.::  CTO:  Commander.  How can I help you?
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
@TO:  Oh, Kytides....  Damrock wants this done as quietly as possible.

ACTION:  Warnings chimes sound on the TAC and Science Consoles.

CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::To no one in particular::  Hmmm... that was fast.

ACTION:  Tactical reports 250 near Claymore Objects now on a collision course.

SO Lt Sov-masu says:
::Reaches over and taps a few commands::
SO Lt Sov-masu says:
CSO:  Ma'am?
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
SO: I see it... odd though.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Hears the alerts, and snaps to the front:: TAC: Red alert, arm weapons, acquire targeting lock on anything that blinks.

ACTION:  Science detects inbound objects with massive power buildups.

CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
aCO:  We have an object on a collision course with us.
SO Lt Sov-masu says:
aCO/CSO:  I am picking a massive power build-up.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
aCO:  We may have triggered a warning system.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
<TO Lt Kingston>::Initially startled, but quickly presses the Red Alert button, raising shields and rigging phasers for point-defense.::

ACTION:  All 250 probes increase velocity as they approach the Claymore.  ETA to first impact 1min

TO Ens Kytides says:
@::Nods again, pulling out his tricorder::  CAG:  Understood.  Shouldn't be an issue.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
<TO1 Lt Kingston>::Arms torpedoes at maximum yield and sets them for proximity detonation::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
aCO:  Reading... this can't be right.  I am reading 250 probes.... heading for us.
SO Lt Sov-masu says:
::Tries to verify::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
CPU:  Computer, disconnect.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
<TO1 Lt Kingston>  aCO:  Sir, requesting permission to open fire.  We don't have much time.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
:: Hits a command button to make sure it is off.::
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
TO1: Granted.    FCO: Evasive maneuvers, take us toward Ondullele....pulls us around the moon as close as you can manage, see if we can scrape some off on it.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Unfortunately, that did not seem to help.  But then neither were they cloaked anymore.::

ACTION:  Impact in 15 seconds.

CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
<TO1 Lt Kingston>::Opens fire with rapid, short bursts of the phasers, targeting the nearest incoming projectiles, and launches a full spread of torpedoes, spread out so the area of effect of the explosions covers the maximum possible space::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
*Shipwide*:  All hands, prepare for impact.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
TO1: Drop countermeasures behind us.     ::Drops into her chair and holds to its arms as Senn makes the announcement::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Looks over to Kingston hoping she is a good shot.::

ACTION:  Phasers fire on the incoming probes.  Blue shields protect the probes.  Impact in 5 secs

CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
<TO1 Lt Kingston>aCO:  Understood.  ::Prepares to deploy aft torpedoes in their retreat as mines::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Quickly creates a map::  FCO:  Grid of area and probes on screen.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
<TO1 Lt Kingston>::Diverts shield power to aft::
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
aOPS: Kendal, vent plasma from the impulse nacelles.   TO1: Ignite at 5 kilometers.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
aCO:  There appears to be some energy source around them... I would advise moving.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
@TO:  Transfer complete.
SO Lt Sov-masu says:
aCO/CSO:  Blue light is some form of shield.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
<TO1 Lt Kingston>::Deploys aft torpedoes, and prepares to ignite the plasma::

ACTION:  The first probe strikes the port side of the claymores shields and explodes.  The Claymore shakes from the impact. Shields drop to 20% on the port side.

ACTION:  Additional probes decloak in front of the Claymore....

TO Ens Kytides says:
@CAG:  Thanks.  I'll start immediately.  ::Turns toward the exit, looking carefully over the faces and quickly reading over the rest of the information as he moves, wanting to have it mostly in his head before he actually starts looking for them::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@Reynolds:  Just wanted to bring you up to date, Sir.  We have some leads, but the investigation has gone rather slowly, thus far.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
aCO:  Shields down by 20% on Port side.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Holds position in her chair, rocked slightly front he blow to the shields:: FCO: Get us around that moon, Lieutenant.
