USS Pandora - Good Fishing To You - Part 5

The USS Pandora is on route to an ancient vessel that is on a collision course with New Frontier station. The vessel is travelling at a speed of 1/3 the speed the speed of light her old nuclear engines long dead. In roughly nine years the vessel will collide with New Frontier Station.

Captain Adams is travelling on his yacht on route to the Pandora wondering why debriefs take almost as long as the mission themselves.

OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: sitting on the Bridge at her station ::
CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
:: at Tactical scanning the vessel and the surrounding area::
CO_Capt_Adams :
@Com: USS Pandora: Captain Adams to USS Pandora - Do you have me on Long Range Sensors yet?
CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago :
::in Sickbay going through the medical records of the crew;:
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
:: On Bridge, attempting to get a better scan of the approaching object. Setting up now to scan it using the scan settings suggested for use with the th'Alcair.::
FCO_Lt_Jinx :
:: watching the screen from her station ::
CO_Capt_Adams :
@::switching yacht scanners to see if the Pandora shows yet::
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
COM: Captain's Yacht: CO: This is the Pandora, Captain. We have you on long range sensors.
CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
XO: Sensors confirm it is the Captain's yacht Commander.
CO_Capt_Adams :
@Com: USS Pandora: Pandora, I see you are not where I left you. Please explain.
XO_Cmd_Gaeb :
FCO: All stop; keep position until the Captain's yacht is docked
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
COM: Captain's Yacht: CO: Well Sir, it's a long story.
FCO_Lt_Jinx :
XO: Aye Sir, all stop.
CO_Capt_Adams :
@Com: USS Pandora: It always is. Please send me vector coordinates so I can head for a good rendezvous point.
FCO_Lt_Jinx :
:: taps the controls to bring the ship to a stop ::
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
COM: Captain's Yacht: CO: One moment Captain.
CO_Capt_Adams :
@::adjusts controls to head the yacht in the general direction of the Pandora::
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
FCO: Can you send our coordinates to the Captain?
FCO_Lt_Jinx :
OPS: Sending now.
CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
XO: Commander..... I've been scanning the vessel... and our tractor beams would most likely damage the vessel. We cannot adjust our beams to a low enough setting, however... our shuttles tractors would be able to adjust with a low enough setting so as to not inflict damage.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: nods at the FCO ::
CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago :
::taps her fingers on her desk:: Self: Hmmmm the Captain needs a medical... ::Begins to think of ways to trick him into sickbay::
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
COM: Captain's Yacht: CO: You should have our coordinates now Sir. We are at all stop awaiting your arrival.
CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
::looks up again:: XO: The yacht as well could be used to help move the vessel.
XO_Cmd_Gaeb :
CTO: Could they also be used to stabilize the ship structure?
CO_Capt_Adams :
@::sees Pandora on short-range sensors and adjusts course and speed accordingly::

ACTION: TIME PASSES AND THE YACHT IS NOW IN DOCKING RANGE

CSO_LtJG_Trix :
XO/ CTO: I think we could lower the power enough, wouldn't take much nudging to alter the course enough. Honestly though, would be simpler to just nudge the station.
CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
:: looks down at console :: XO: No Sir.... the stress would be too much on such an aging structure.
CO_Capt_Adams :
@::switching comm system to Pandora's system:: *Pandora*: Permission to dock Prometheus in its berth?
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
FCO: Can the Captain dock?
FCO_Lt_Jinx :
OPS: Docking bay is clear. He can proceed.
CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
XO: A nudge is really all the vessel needs Sir. I agree with LtJG Trix.... a small nudge here and the vessel would miss the station by at least 100 000 km due the time it would take it to get to the station.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
FCO: Acknowledged.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
*CO*: You are clear for docking Sir.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
CTO/XO: We could also move the station if needed. Still have 9 years to figure it out.
XO_Cmd_Gaeb :
CTO: Correcting the ship course is one of the objectives, but seeing if there is anyone in need of rescuing in this rusty deathtrap is another
CO_Capt_Adams :
@*Pandora*: I have you in visual. ::brings the yacht around to match the Pandora and heads for the berth on the ventral side of the ship::
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
*CO*: We have you Sir.
FCO_Lt_Jinx :
:: watches the Captain's yacht on her viewer ::
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
FCO: Can we get him with tractor now?
CO_Capt_Adams :
@:: sets controls to auto-dock and releases:: *Pandora*: Releasing controls to the ship on my Mark
FCO_Lt_Jinx :
OPS: I have him now. Stand by.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
*CO*: We'll catch you Sir.  :: grins ::
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
FCO: Understood.
FCO_Lt_Jinx :
:: adjusts the controls :: *CO*: Captain, tractors initiated. Stand by for docking.

ACTION: DOCKING IS COMPLETE

CO_Capt_Adams :
::shuts down systems and prepares to exit the yacht::
FCO_Lt_Jinx :
XO: Commander, the Captain's yacht is secured.
CO_Capt_Adams :
::exits and heads for nearest turbolift - boards turbolift:: TL: Bridge
CO_Capt_Adams :
::under breathe - and make it snappy::
CO_Capt_Adams :
::arrives Bridge, exits turbolift::
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
ALL: Captain on deck!!!
XO_Cmd_Gaeb :
FCO: Resume course
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
CO: Welcome back Sir.
CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
::automatically stand straighter as the Captain enters::
FCO_Lt_Jinx :
XO: Aye Sir, resuming course.
CO_Capt_Adams :
XO: Permission to come aboard Commander
CO_Capt_Adams :
::nods to the Bridge crew::
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
::Snaps to attention.:: CO: Welcome back Captain.
XO_Cmd_Gaeb :
CO: Do you mean I can refuse?
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: continues listening for any com activity ::
CO_Capt_Adams :
::smiles and leans in close:: XO: Yes, but I wouldn't recommend it considering you commandeered my ship without my knowledge
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
CO: Begging your pardon Captain, I did send a message.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
Self: What if we did a slight phase shift of the beam. No, that would take more time than we have in anticipated travel. Maybe send...huh?
CO/ XO: Captain, Commander, there are definitely life signs on the ship. Faint, and growing weaker.
CO_Capt_Adams :
::steps away slightly from the XO:: XO: And Commander, mind telling me where you're off to? Somebody forgot to send me the notice
CO_Capt_Adams :
::looks over to the OPS:: OPS: Hmmm, must have gone to my old address as either I didn't get it, or it's still following me around..... The wonders of modern technology...
FCO_Lt_Jinx :
CO/XO: Sirs, we should reach that ship in about five minutes at present speed.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
CO: Of course Sir, I have a copy of it at your desk on a PADD
XO_Cmd_Gaeb :
CO: Well it all began by a yellow alert from an overzealous crewmen in operations....
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
CSO: How many life signs?
XO_Cmd_Gaeb :
CO: To make it short a ship is very slowly on a collision course to the station but the most important part of it is that there may be some people to rescue in it
CO_Capt_Adams :
::raises eyebrow::
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
OPS: Hard to say. Whatever that thing is, it's highly insulated from radiation. Probably a side effect of it's use of Nuclear propulsion.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
OPS: And since scans use radiation, in a form...
CO_Capt_Adams :
XO: Then Commander, by all means, make haste
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: nods :: CSO: I think you're right.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
OPS: If I had to make a guess, I'd say 2, maybe 3. If they are "normal", and if the scans are reading right. Lot of ifs with an unknown species.
XO_Cmd_Gaeb :
CO: The major concern is the poor state of that ship, it may collapse at anytime
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: nods and looks off into space a moment :: CSO: Yes..... I think I can sense some form of life.
CO_Capt_Adams :
XO: Make more haste then ::grins:: And, when you're not making so much haste, please transfer command over to moi, along with the codes

ACTION: THE PANDORA ARRIVES NEAR THE MYSTERY VESSEL.

CSO_LtJG_Trix :
::Switches scans to short range scans, attempting to determine interior atmosphere of vessel by scanning for any leaks or openings.

FCO_Lt_Jinx :
:: reaches the coordinates :: CO/XO: We have arrived at the destination. Dropping out of warp and matching speed with the ship.
XO_Cmd_Gaeb :
CO: Consider it done Sir
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
CO/ XO: Scanning for what the interior of the ship is like. Either by a less "shielded" area or maybe signs of a leak.

COMPUTER: CAPTAIN JOHN J. ADAMS IS NOW IN COMMAND OF THE USS PANDORA

CSO_LtJG_Trix :
All: I can confirm it now; there are definitely two life signs aboard.
CO_Capt_Adams :
FCO: Please keep us at a safe distance till we know if there's any radiation contamination issues.
CSO/CTO: Please check for any contamination issues ::knowing they heard the first order::
FCO_Lt_Jinx :
CO: aye Captain.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: leans back and closes her eyes ::
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
CO: Aye Captain, adding scans for contamination to current scans. ::Adds scans for CBR contaminants.::
CO_Capt_Adams :
*CMO*: Doc, I understand we might be dealing with survivors of a ship, radiation contamination, or both. Please have Sickbay ready.
CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago :
*CO*: It’s been ready since we left. What is happening?
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
CO: Sir, the two life signs are fading rapidly.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
CO: Confirmed, and it appears there is definitely some radiation contamination.
CO_Capt_Adams :
*CMO*: Doc, just got back aboard. ::notes the doctor's voice sounds very different:: Doc, are you okay?
XO_Cmd_Gaeb :
CSO: Look for weaknesses in the structure created by radiation
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
CO: Shall I try and lock onto them and beam them to sickbay?
CO_Capt_Adams :
OPS: Please fill the Doctor in on the situation.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
CO: If I had to guess... doing a lot of that, but if I had to guess I'd say they are suffering from radiation contamination. Other contaminants I'm detecting should be covered by the Transporter Bio filters.
CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago :
*CO*: I'm fine Sir. Just don't like working blind.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
CO: Aye Sir.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
XO: Yes Sir. ::Scans the vessel structure for signs of the radiation affecting the structure.::
CO_Capt_Adams :
::looks to XO:: XO: New Doctor?
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
*CMO*: Sorry Doctor. Once we are able to lock onto them, would it be best to beam them directly to sickbay in a containment field?
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
XO: Looks like the structure isn't affected. Its issues are with age, not energy.
CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago :
*OPS*: Them? How many.... I have not cleared anyone to enter this ship. I don't know what contaminates there are or even if they should be moved.
CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
CO: Captain, the vessels engines seemed to have malfunctioned.... I estimate approximately 100 years ago.... and slowly poisoning the occupants of the vessel over time.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
*CMO*: there are two and they seem to be fading fast.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
OPS/ CO/ XO: I think if we're careful, we could send a team over. In the long run it may be best.
CO_Capt_Adams :
CTO: Anything we can do to "fix it?"
XO_Cmd_Gaeb :
CSO: How many life signs?
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
XO: Two, Commander.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
*CMO*: Doctor, I'm linking my scans of the life signs to Sickbay so you can see what we have. ::Forwards the scan data to CMO's location.::
CO_Capt_Adams :
*CMO*: Doctor ::more formal tone since he's not acquainted with the new doctor yet:: Looks like we're going to have to been two contaminated life forms to Sickbay. Set up whatever containment fields you need.
CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago :
*OPS*: Until I know what is actually going on, you can't beam them here
XO_Cmd_Gaeb :
CSO: not more?
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
XO: Not that I can detect, Commander. I know, that ship could hold a small city.
CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago :
*CSO*: why thank you... you should have done that when we started so I don't get operations telling who is sick and who is not.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
*CMO*: The vessel is irradiated and just floating.
CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
CO: Sir.... Sending a team over and decontaminating it would take at least a few months, then an engineering team might be able to do something, but I do not know if our staff is familiar with nuclear engines of this type. The learning curve would be intense.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
::Cringes.:: *CMO*: Sorry Doctor. It won't happen again. To be honest, we didn't get usable scans until a very short time ago, but I apologize for the blunder.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: thinks this is a woman after her own heart and grins ::
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
CTO: We would only need to learn to stop its forward momentum, Sir.
XO_Cmd_Gaeb :
CO: For two life signs we may just have to use the transporters to get them away
CO_Capt_Adams :
XO: Once we've got the survivors secured in Sickbay, I think we should nudge the trajectory of the ship into a "safe" one, especially not directed at New Frontier, I think we should see if it can be fixed, and for the sake of the CSO, maybe investigate and explore it a bit - when safe of course
CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago :
*CSO*: I hope not. Your life could depend on it. ::Can't believe they left her out of medical decisions.... what kind of circus is this?::
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
CO: Sir, We can't get a transporter lock on them at this distance because of the shielding it has.

XO_Cmd_Gaeb :
CO: It would be interesting to recover the computer logs of that ship
CO_Capt_Adams :
XO: Hopefully, not a case of curiosity killing the cat.....
XO_Cmd_Gaeb :
CO: What cat Sir?
CO_Capt_Adams :
OPS: Increase shields.
FCO: Move us in to effective transporter range.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: taps at her console :: CO: We need to be at a distance of about 500 meters.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
CO: Aye Sir. :: looks at the CTO ::
CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
::looks up:: CO: Shield power increased Captain.
FCO_Lt_Jinx :
CO: We are within transporter range Captain. :: makes sure of the distance ::
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
CO: Captain, Doctor Santiago asked us to wait until she cleared them for beaming. Going against her might not be wise, given the nature of the emergency.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
*CMO*: Please let me know when you are ready for our guests.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: smiles at the CSO :: CSO: I'd say you are correct.
CO_Capt_Adams :
::looks up to the ceiling sensor pod:: CSO: okay, okay, they've been saturated in radiation for a century or more, a few more seconds wouldn't matter.. Not like it's a matter of life and death, eh?
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
CO: I'm just forwarding a message, Sir. I'm not a Doctor. Well, not in this life anyway.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
CO: Last time I was... it didn't end well.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
Self: Trix, shut up, not on the Bridge!
CO_Capt_Adams :
XO: Never a dull moment..... ::puts meeting the new doctor high on his list of priorities::
