OPS Lt Saprin:
::at her station in the bridge::
 
CO Capt Rome:
OPS: Can we use internal sensors at all, Lieutenant?
 
FCO Ens Sumner:
::helps the search teams scan the computer core for the device::
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
CO: I will try them again. ::taps her console::
 
CO Capt Rome:
OPS: Try and bypass the systems otherwise, I need control of my bleedin' ship! ::his mood worsening by the minute::
 
CTO Raash:
::follows the search from the bridge to the computer core, keeping her tricorder on narrow scan::
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::nods:: CO: If there is a device aboard, it must give out energy, or radiation. Perhaps with a tricorder Ensign Sumner can find it.
 
CO Capt Rome:
::receives the update from Idrani:: OPS: Seems we caught a lucky break.
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
CO: What is it Captain?
 
CO Capt Rome:
OPS: We are looking for a device that operates in the terrahertz range. A frequency of 500.3. However it does have a scrambler designed into it to make it hard to find.
 
CO Capt Rome:
OPS: Inform the teams led by Sumner and Raash, with their tricorders they should be able to lock in on it!
 
CTO Raash:
::continues tracing the signal::
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
CO: Our internal sensors are working at a minimal power, and there is something unusual but I can't pinpoint the source exactly. I will inform them.
 
CO Capt Rome:
OPS: Good, do what you can Lieutenant. ::stares at the warp distorted stars and feels powerless as his ship travels through space under outside influence::
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::taps her badge::*FCO/CTO*: We have new information about the device. It is working at a frequency of 500.3 TeraHertz.
 
CTO Raash:
*OPS*: Lieutenant, I'm already locked on to the problem. I had to be before the Captain would allow me off the bridge. Do you believe the frequency may be booby trapped?
 
CO Capt Rome:
::slams his fist into his armrest console, not even denting the console::
 
CTO Raash:
::finds the location and starts opening the panel:: FCO: We're over here.
 
FCO Ens Sumner:
*OPS*: Copy, we'll narrow our search.
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
*CTO*: It is probable, but internal sensors are only minimal so I cannot confirm the existence of any detonation charges or other sort of traps.
 
CTO Raash:
*OPS*: Understood. Removing the access panel now. We should have answers shortly.
 
FCO Ens Sumner:
::sets her tricorder to scan in the terahertz range, between 500.01 and 500.05 THz, just in case::
 
CO Capt Rome:
OPS: Contact Engineering, tell them to prepare a manual warp ejection on my mark. ::looks grim, knowing at this speeds such a maneuver was not something he would enjoy::
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
CO: Sir ... I suppose I don't have to remind you of the consequences of ejecting the warp core while at warp ....
 
CO Capt Rome:
::grinds his teeth:: OPS: No need Lieutenant.
 
CTO Raash:
::scans for boobytraps::
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
CO: aye sir. ::taps her console to ask engineering to prepare to manually eject the warp core and to wait for the Captain's order::

OPS Lt Saprin:
::looks up from her console:: CO: Who could know so much about Starfleet that they were able to infiltrate a ship like this? And fake Starfleet protocols and commands, not to mention design a device that would completely take over our computer?
 
CO Capt Rome:
::stands up and stretches his legs:: OPS: It would have to be someone with connections to Starfleet.
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
CO: With plenty of inside knowledge. Perhaps even a high placed officer.
 
CO Capt Rome:
OPS: I don't like the sound of that, Saprin.
 
CO Capt Rome:
OPS: Can you tell where they are taking us ?
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
CO: It is a logical possibility... I will try to extrapolate from our speed and direction.
 
CO Capt Rome:
::manages a smile as her Vulcan side emerges:: OPS: Carry on.
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::nods curtly and taps her console::
 
CO Capt Rome:
::taps a button on his console:: *CTO/FCO*: Rome to Raash and Sumner, report!
 
FCO Ens Sumner:
*CO*: We're still looking captain.
 
CO Capt Rome:
*FCO*: You don't have long, Ensign. We are trying to figure out where the ship is going as we speak.
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::waits for the computer to ... well ... compute and looks at the viewscreen, wondering what lies ahead::

Action: The CTO's tricorder descrambles the power signatures and locates the device.

CTO Raash:
*Bridge*: Raash to bridge, the tracer from the bridge led me to the source. I'm checking the area now to make sure it is safe to remove the device.
 
CO Capt Rome:
::makes a fist as he stares at the viewscreen ahead of him, waiting for Saprin's report....his hand on the console ready to call Engineering::
 
CO Capt Rome:
::releases his fist, but reminds himself this is far from over:: *CTO*: When you think it's safe, Lieutenant.
 
CTO Raash:
Self: Smart, very smart. That field left it cloaked. Guess I won't have to kill my guys for missing it the first time.
 
CTO Raash:
FCO: Ensign Sumner, over here! ::calls loud enough to be heard through the halls::
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::wonders why the computer is taking so long to compute a simple trajectory. Perhaps the device is also interfering with it::
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
CO: I don't have the trajectory for you yet, but engineering reports they are ready to eject the core on your orders, Captain.
 
FCO Ens Sumner:
::runs quicly to the CTO's location:: CTO: What have you got?
 
CO Capt Rome:
::lets out a long breath and a nervous laugh:: OPS: Oh goodie.
 
CTO Raash:
::doesn't find traps:: FCO: This little bugger is attached directly to flight. It is redirecting everything to a remote location instead of to the bridge.
 
CTO Raash:
FCO: No wonder you couldn't control anything up there.
 
FCO Ens Sumner:
CTO: Can we remove it?
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::shakes her head:: CO: I am afraid I can't access enough flight information to tell where we are going. It is all being re-directed somewhere. ::taps her console some more::
 
CO Capt Rome:
OPS: Damn it.
 
CTO Raash:
FCO: That's the question of the hour. Kanga had to have attached it so there must be some way to get it off.
 
CTO Raash:
::leans in to visually inspect the device::
 
FCO Ens Sumner:
CTO: Even if we could just disable it, we should get control back.
 
CTO Raash:
FCO: I could always just shoot it. ::grins then frowns in focus again:: Any ideas?
 
CO Capt Rome:
OPS: Can we try and enhance the viewer and bring up a star map overlay? If this ship is to be used as a weapon, I WILL stop it.
 
FCO Ens Sumner:
::calls over an engineer and takes his flux coupler:: CTO: One. ::jabs the pointy end of the tool into the device::
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
CO: I can try to have the computer compare the image on the viewscreen with our star maps... ::taps her console:: CO: But I am not sure there will be enough information. Space is pretty...well...warped out there.
 
CO Capt Rome:
OPS: Was that a joke, lieutenant Saprin? ::smiles her way::

ACTION: A light on the device turns red and then the device disappears

OPS Lt Saprin:
::looks up, confused for a moment. Then realization comes to mind:: CO: No sir, but I will keep it in mind to use it as such in the future. I think it is a good one. ::smiles briefly::
 
FCO Ens Sumner:
::taps her combadge::
 
FCO Ens Sumner:
*aFCO*: Try it now, Velasquez.
 
<aFCO_Velasquez>::attempts to bring the ship out of warp::
 
CO Capt Rome:
::hears Sumner's comm and looks at the conn officer::
 
CTO Raash:
::scans the area after the device disappears::

Action: The ship does not drop out of warp.

CTO Raash:
FCO: It's still there. I'm reading radiation like a cloaking device. I still think I should shoot it.
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::as the ship fails to stop, she has to stop herself from stating the obvious::
 
FCO Ens Sumner:
::frowns:: CTO: I hope you have impeccable aim.
 
CO Capt Rome:
::stands up::
 
CTO Raash:
FCO: If I can disable the device, it should allow us to redirect flight control to the bridge even if this line is damaged.
 
CTO Raash:
::pulls out her phaser and sets it on stun::
 
FCO Ens Sumner:
::nods some:: CTO: Alright. Let's do it.
 
CO Capt Rome:
*FCO*: Sumner, I am not a patient man. What is going on down there?
 
FCO Ens Sumner:
*CO*: We're trying one last option, Captain. Stand by just a few more seconds.
 
CTO Raash:
::fires dead center for where she knows the device to be:: *CO*: Please ignore the weapons fire alert the bridge is about to have. ::fires::
 
CO Capt Rome:
::raises an eyebrow as he hears the whine of a phaser being fired::
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::disables the sound of the ship-fired-aboard alarm::

 

Action: The device decloaks and starts to turn red before exploding, throwing the FCO and CTO across the computer core.
 
Action: The ship drops out of warp.

FCO Ens Sumner:
CTO: Oh, for- ::gets thrown across the room and lands in a heap::
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
CO: Captain, I am reading a large explosion at the computer core.
 
CTO Raash:
Self: Oh, damn. ::tries to get the FCO out of harms way but misses before the explosion sends them both flying::
 
CO Capt Rome:
::almost stumbles as the ship reverts back to real space::
 
CO Capt Rome:
OPS: Get them out of there! Inform sickbay!
 
CTO Raash:
::hits the ground hard:: Self: Oof! FCO: You okay, Sumner?
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::informs sickbay of a medical emergency at the computer core::
 
FCO Ens Sumner:
::slowly gets to her feet, giving her head a shake and looking around, seeming to listen for something:: CTO: Yeah... we've stopped. Good work, Raash. I'm gonna... go sit down for a bit. ::finds a corner::
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
CO: It is probably not wise to transport them without knowing their medical condition.
 
CO Capt Rome:
::struts over to the Conn and motions for the conn officer to leave, as he takes his place himself and shuts down all engines and brings the star charts up::
 
CO Capt Rome:
OPS: That is right, thank you number two.
 
CTO Raash:
::nods to the FCO:: FCO: When this is all over, I think the Captain should buy us both a drink.
 
FCO Ens Sumner:
::laughs some:: CTO: I'd rather have shore leave back.
 
CTO Raash:
*Bridge*: Raash to bridge, the device has been destroyed. We are shaken up down here but no real injuries.
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::opens her mouth a bit surprised with the name, but then decides to take it as a compliment:: CO: Medics are on their way and their life signs appear strong.
 
CO Capt Rome:
OPS: Thank the gods.
 
FCO Ens Sumner:
CTO: Is there anything left of the device?
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::puts the CTO's comm through on speakers::*CTO*: And we dropped out of warp. The Captain is trying to find our location.
 
CTO Raash:
::pulls herself off the floor and goes to check where the device was::
 
CO Capt Rome:
::tries to update their current location on the starmaps:: *FCO/CTO*: Good work down there. Report to sickbay if you need to before returning to your post.
 
CTO Raash:
FCO: Not that I can see. I'm double checking. ::scans the area carefully::

Action: The computer reads the surrounding stars and gives the CO a set of coordinates

FCO Ens Sumner:
::gets to her feet and stretches:: CTO: Eh, I'm sure whatshisface can tell us something to solve all this. Let's go. ::makes her way to the nearest turbolift::
 
CO Capt Rome:
::brings the readings up on the viewer:: OPS: This isn't ideal. ::shows their location inside the Cardassian DMZ::
 
CTO Raash:
FCO: No more device, that explosion even took the shielding off some of the conduit.
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::looks up:: CO: Do they want to start a war? I suggest we turn around before we are detected.
 
CO Capt Rome:
OPS: Agreed.
 
CO Capt Rome:
Computer: Computer, raise shields.
 
FCO Ens Sumner:
::waits for the CTO before ordering the TL to the bridge::
 
CTO Raash:
*CO*: Understood, Sir. ::heads to the lift::
 
<aFCO_Velasquez> ::frowns slightly at the Captain's back::
 
CTO Raash:
FCO: Captain wants sickbay to have a look at us before going back to duty.
 
CO Capt Rome:
;;inputs the coordinates for Federation space and then looks up at the conn officer and smiles::
 
CO Capt Rome:
aFCO: Sorry kid, I guess this is your seat. ::stands up:: Take us home, maximum warp.
 
FCO Ens Sumner:
CTO: He said if we needed. If you need to be checked, you can go there after I get off. ::steps off onto the bridge, as if on cue::
 
<aFCO_Velasquez>::grins and takes the helm, setting course for Federation space and setting warp to maximum::
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
CO: We only moved at Warp 5, we can't be that much into the DMZ.
 
CTO Raash:
FCO: You know me. I'm half dead before going to sickbay. ::grins and heads to her post:::

Action: The helm is unresponsive

CO Capt Rome:
::looks at the map:: OPS: Only a few lightyears it seems, but I want out of here fast.
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::looks down as her console turns green:: CO: Sensors are back online. we have two Cardassian vessels on our tail.
 
<aFCO_Velasquez> ::taps frantically at the console:: CO/FCO: Uh...
 
CO Capt Rome:
OPS: Wonderful. Send them the normal message of peace, tell them we had some engine problems and are attempting to revert course
 
CTO Raash:
CO: Captain, there was minor damage to the conduit. We may need to reroute the connection before flight will respond.
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
CO: Aye sir. At their current speed, they will intercept in 15 minutes.
 
CO Capt Rome:
::looks down at Velasques:: aFCO: I don't like the sound of that
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::sends a message to the Cardassian, indicating they come in peace and have engine problems. Also adding they will leave the area as soon as possible::
 
CO Capt Rome:
CTO: Then get Engineering on it.
 
CO Capt Rome:
OPS: Let's hope they remember that we are allies.
 
CTO Raash:
::sends orders to Engineering to reroute the flight controls and repair the conduit with emergency speed::
 
OPS Lt Saprin:
::nods:: CO: If we can convince them of the truth, they might even be able to help us.
 
CTO Raash:
OPS: Are we certain whoever wanted to control the ship wasn't a Cardassian?
 
<aFCO_Velasquez> CO: I swear this isn't my first time, Captain. ::looks to the FCO for help::
 
<EO_Goodwrench> ::runs to a console and starts redirecting flight control now that they have the access to do it::
 
CO Capt Rome:
aFCO: Don't worry kid, it's not your fault.
