Host Buzzard says:
The USS Seleya under orders to firstly investigate the disappearance of the USS Jaguar and secondly the appearance of subspace anomalies in the Beta Sephilon system.

Host Buzzard says:
The Seleya communicated with a FCA mining outpost which had made a formal complaint to the Federation regarding the operation of pirates in the area.

Host Buzzard says:
The Seleya detected a subspace anomaly in the Beta Sephilon system.  Whilst scanning the anomaly, sensors detected an unusual amount of thoran radiation, which led the crew to believe that the anomaly was 'man made'

Host Buzzard says:
About the same time, the Seleya suffered from a complete thruster failure, which led to the Seleya almost drifting into the anomaly.

Host Buzzard says:
The Seleya gaining sufficient distance from the anomaly launched a probe. Approximately the same time the Seleya received a distress call from the FCA outpost, stating they were under attack.

Host Buzzard says:
Upon arrival at the FCA outpost , an away team beamed down to find that all Ferengi had been killed, the probe in the meantime had revealed that the anomaly was in actual fact a wormhole which had opened from its present co-ordinates along the Romulan neutral zone to sector 001...Earth....

@::Still looking around the complex awaiting the MO to tell her the reasons of death::

MO_Harek says:
@::Near a Ferengi body collecting tissue and blood samples::

XO_Bolitho says:
@MO: So what did he die of ?

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Sitting in the CO's chair on the bridge::

CNS_Samantha says:
::Sitting in the left chair, glancing at console at the right of the chair. Narrowing her eyes she studies the readings from the Away Team, making a note of something she glances to her right::

Host CO_Saalis says:
COMM: Command: Admiral, far from being a weapon, this device could be a boon for the Federation from the points of both commerce and military. We should investigate further before making assumptions as to its use.

EO_Hixxan says:
::In Main Engineering, standing at master display unit going over review for thruster assembly:: Self: Hopefully we'll have no more trouble from you ::looks jokingly at thruster display on situation monitor::

XO_Bolitho says:
@::Walks off to a consol and tries to access the records hoping something will show up to who the visitors were::

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Takes a look around the bridge::

XO_Bolitho says:
@::Is still awaiting the MO::

Host Buzzard says:
<SF Command> COMM: CO: Agreed Captain, if you can capture the said weapon you are authorised to use any means necessary, alternatively if you cannot capture it, you must destroy it at all costs

MO_Harek says:
@::Scans the tissue:: XO: From what I can tell their were multiple causes of death, however a result of weapons fire. Romulan, Klingon, Cardassian, and ::pauses:: predominantly Federation weapons were used

CNS_Samantha says:
::Glances away as she realizes that there aren't any orders, she glances back at her console and sighs. Thinking for a second she glances up and taps her communication badge:: *XO*: Commander, what is your current situation?

XO_Bolitho says:
@::Suddenly looks back at the MO:: MO: Federation ? what would federation want with mining? come to think of it all the others you mentioned

XO_Bolitho says:
*CNS*: Not a lot to tell, although the Ferengi's were killed by a nice variation of weapon that basically sums up the whole of this quadrant including the federation

MO_Harek says:
@XO: Hold on ::stands up and spins while taking readings:: I'm picking up an unusual energy.

XO_Bolitho says:
@::Still trying to access there computer and looks at the MO::

Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: LRS detect that the wormhole has stabilised

CNS_Samantha says:
*XO*: Understood, Ivanova out.

Host Buzzard says:
<Ensign Nobody> CTO: Sir, long range sensors indicate that aperture of the wormhole has now stabilised!

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Looks at the console on the chair:: Ens: Understood........*CO* Darklighter to Captain Saalis

XO_Bolitho says:
@::Sees she not getting any interesting info from the Computer, she walks over to the MO:: MO: Is there a problem ?

Host CO_Saalis says:
*CTO* This is the Captain.

MO_Harek says:
@::Starts walking towards a bulkhead:: XO: I don't know if it's a problem, but it seems to emanate about 50m past this bulkhead

XO_Bolitho says:
@MO: What does?

CTO_Darklighter says:
*CO* Ma'am the wormhole has stabilised

MO_Harek says:
@XO: The energy source

XO_Bolitho says:
@::Raises her eyes brows:: MO: In which direction

Host CO_Saalis says:
::Takes in a miniscule amount of breath above her teeth for a moment:: *CTO* Any indications of cause?

CTO_Darklighter says:
*CO* It's too far to tell sir

Host CO_Saalis says:
COMM: Command: I repeat that we do not know if it is a weapon; however, I will follow orders. Seleya out.

Host CO_Saalis says:
::Stands, and walks out onto the bridge::

MO_Harek says:
@XO:  Roughly North East ::scans head:: My Tricorder readings seem to dipate, but it looks like a maze to get there

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Stands up and moves to TAC::

XO_Bolitho says:
@MO: Well I guess we had better take a look ... after you Doctor

Host CO_Saalis says:
CTO: Report.

Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: A 5 star tentacle brakes out of an EPS conduit in thruster control

CTO_Darklighter says:
CO: As reported already sir the wormhole has stabilised, nothing else to report

MO_Harek says:
@::Takes out his phaser and walks to a door about 3m right::

Host CO_Saalis says:
CTO: Final data. How large a vessel may utilise the phenomenon?

XO_Bolitho says:
@::Follows the MO holding a phaser and looking around::

EO_Hixxan_ says:
::Begins to synchronise vectored thrusts for ship stability:: *CO* Captain Saalis, this is Hixxan in engineering, Sir..... if possible I'd like to do a ship wide test of all thrusters on the ship?

CTO_Darklighter says:
CO: The wormhole is a km square sir, so a pretty big vessel could use it

XO_Bolitho says:
@MO: How far now ?

Host CO_Saalis says:
*EO* Understood. At your discretion.

Host CO_Saalis says:
CTO: Understood.

MO_Harek says:
@::Tries to open door automatically, but fails. Reaching into the two inch gap pries the door open:: XO: About 40m still

EO_Hixxan_ says:
::Notices EPS disruptions on one of the decks, an EPS Conduit has been taken out. He picks up his toolbox and heads for the cause of the disruption::

XO_Bolitho says:
@::Still following the MO wondering hat it could actually be::

Host CO_Saalis says:
::Moves, and sits in her chair::

MO_Harek says:
@XO: It looks clear for another 15m ::heads down the corridor::

XO_Bolitho says:
@MO: Good ::Still follows::

MO_Harek says:
@::Further scans the energy source::

Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: Unusual power surges are getting stronger

XO_Bolitho says:
@MO: Any further info and what the energy source is?

CNS_Samantha says:
::Glances to her right for a moment, she consider something for a moment and then looks back at her console:: *XO*: Commander, be advised that the worm hole has stabilized. Stay alert, Ivanova out.

XO_Bolitho says:
*CNS* Acknowledge Bolitho out

XO_Bolitho says:
@::Awaits the MO answer::

EO_Hixxan_ says:
::Arrives at cause of the disruption and eyes the tentacle. Jumps back a bit in fright at the sight of the 5 arm monster emanating from the plasma pipe:: *CTO* I need a security team on deck 10 right away, we have a security breach...... a 5 arm tentacle type creature it would appear

CTO_Darklighter says:
*EO* Understood, close off the area till the teams arrives

MO_Harek says:
@XO: There seems to be energy surges emanating around the  source :: links with sickbays database:; The energy reading are similar to a race known as Iconian

MO_Harek says:
::Ducks underneath a fallen strut::

CTO_Darklighter says:
CO: Permission to assist with the intruder on deck 10

EO_Hixxan_ says:
::Looks harder and notices the metallic surfacing, and the Borg design::  *CTO* It looks like the Borg again...... I'll try and work out a way to disable it

Host CO_Saalis says:
CTO: Granted.

XO_Bolitho says:
@::Looks a little taken back:: MO: Iconian ? what would an Iconian energy reading be doing on a Ferengi mining outpost .... Are we any closer to it ?

CTO_Darklighter says:
::nods his head and enters the TL:: TL: Deck 10...Security: Security team to deck 10

CTO_Darklighter says:
*EO* Understood...I'm on my way

CNS_Samantha says:
::Glances at the Captain:: CO: Captain, I have a bad feeling about this.. ::Glances down at her console and back at her:: Something doesn't add up, I just can't point it out yet..

Host CO_Saalis says:
CNS: Clarify?

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Exits the TL and takes a phaser from a security officer:: Sec Team: Follow me ::runs to the EO::

MO_Harek says:
@XO: Iconians were a ancient race that disappeared millennia ago, then left advanced technology, help me move this debris, then it will only be about 10m further

EO_Hixxan_ says:
::Takes out his Tricorder and begins to do scans on the tentacle....wondering just how dangerous it could be::

CNS_Samantha says:
::Sighs and looks at the viewscreen, she thinks for a moment and then glances back:: CO: Well, it just seems odd that this place will remain not protected.. From what I've read about the Borg they normally protect their cross ways, this just seems odd, Captain.

XO_Bolitho says:
@::Still follows the MO more intrigued and helps the MO move the debris:: MO: Yeah unfortunalty I've become an expert in some of it in the past

Host CO_Saalis says:
CNS: Borg?

MO_Harek says:
@XO: Unfortunatly?

CNS_Samantha says:
CO: Captain?

XO_Bolitho says:
@MO: Long story not a nice one at that either, I’m sure you don't want the details ... but it was a weapon ::Shrugs:: ‘Was’ is the major point in this .. so we any closer

CTO_Darklighter says:
EO: What is it? ::looks at the tentacle::

CNS_Samantha says:
::Blinks and narrows her eyes:: CO: The security breach involve Borg technology, Captain..

MO_Harek says:
@::Stops:: XO: The source of the energy is right behind this door

EO_Hixxan says:
::Notices signs of Human DNA on the surface of the tentacle.... begins to wonder where it came from and what it's purpose is:: CTO: Good, You made it.....

Host CO_Saalis says:
CNS: Go to red alert.

XO_Bolitho says:
@MO: Okay lets go in then

CNS_Samantha says:
::Nods, she glances down at her console and initiates red alert:: CO: All hands stand at ready, Captain.

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Motions the sec team to move into positions surrounding the tentacle, but not to close to it::

EO_Hixxan says:
CTO: I don't think its dangerous.... but I didn't want to take any chances .... I'd like to disarm it without destroying it if possible ......and get it to one of the research labs to see where it came from

MO_Harek says:
@XO: Shouldn't we notify the captain before proceeding into an unknown situation

Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: Red Alerts is sounded throughout the Seleya

Host CO_Saalis says:
CNS: Have the entire breached deck sealed off.

CTO_Darklighter says:
EO: Have you detected any possible weapons on it?

CNS_Samantha says:
*XO*: Please be advised of the presence of Borg technology, Please acknowledge.

XO_Bolitho says:
@MO: Was just about to but would have preferred something to tell him

XO_Bolitho says:
@*CNS* Borg!?! How did that get on there? *CO* Sir we have encountered an energy reading we about to approach it

EO_Hixxan says:
::Finishes scan:: CTO: No, I don't think it's dangerous at all.....   since it's in the plasma pipe already I can try shorting it out..... I think its feeding off the plasma...         then we can find out how a Borg node could have got on the ship

XO_Bolitho says:
@MO: You want to try that door while I wait on a answer but don't go in

MO_Harek says:
@::Stands to the side of the doorway and reaches for the automatic door opener::

CTO_Darklighter says:
EO: Does it have anything that looks like exit points for assimilation tubes? or anything that could assimilate people or systems?

Host CO_Saalis says:
*XO* At your discretion, Commander.

CNS_Samantha says:
::Nods at the Captain, she glances down at her console:: Computer: Computer, please seal all the breached deck. Complete the seal upon the approval of the CTO. ::Glances up:: *CTO*: The Captain has requested to seal the deck where the breach occurred, please confirm to the computer for the seal to take place.

XO_Bolitho says:
*CO* Thank you Sir will keep you informed

XO_Bolitho says:
*CO* Bolitho out

CTO_Darklighter says:
*CNS* Understood

Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: Door remains close at the MO's attempts

CNS_Samantha says:
CO: Captain, awaiting the CTO final approval, 

EO_Hixxan says:
CTO: I'm not sure , we'll have to take a closer look  :: removes wall panel at side, and increases plasma flow from warp core to short out the tentacle::   CTO: Hang on...

XO_Bolitho says:
@::Looks at the door:: MO: Run the Tricorder through it and see what it tells us

CTO_Darklighter says:
::moves to a console and confirms to the computer:: CNS: Done ma'am

MO_Harek says:
@::Tries to scan the door and beyond::

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Motions a guard to stay close to the EO::

CNS_Samantha says:
::Glances back, she nods at the CTO:: CTO: Thank you, Sir. ::Glances back at her console:: Computer: Confirm no life forms in the sealed deck and then seal the deck.

XO_Bolitho says:
@::Starts to look at the door panel as only a engineer with a hair clip could::

EO_Hixxan says:
:: The tentacle begins to sizzle a bit, and stops moving::  CTO: Ok,  I thinks that’s done it    ::removes extendable players from tool-kit and picks up the tentacle at arms length::

MO_Harek says:
@XO: My scans seem to dissipate on the other side of this door

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Moves beside the EO with his phaser ready encase::

Host Buzzard says:
<COMPUTER> CNS: There are 2 life forms in Jefferies tube 10 Alpha at cross section x13

XO_Bolitho says:
@MO: Guess that means we need to open this door which looks like its not going to budge... any ideas or I could use a hair clip ::Smiles:: either that or break any password ect that could possibly be on this door 

CNS_Samantha says:
Computer: Identify the two life forms please.

EO_Hixxan says:
::Moves Tentacle to the middle of the floor, drops it and prods it a bit:: CTO: Ok, I think it's safe.... I'm just glad your ready with that phaser.... I noticed some traces of human DNA on the surface..... I think we could do with the help of a  medic...

Host Buzzard says:
<COMPUTER> EO Hixxan and CTO Darklighter

MO_Harek says:
@XO: First we could try these ::holds up door clamps to pry it open::

CNS_Samantha says:
::Frowns:: CO: Captain, The EO and the CTO are still there. Orders?

XO_Bolitho says:
@::Laughs:: MO: Okay so the simple solution first ... after you

CTO_Darklighter says:
EO: Understood, but if it's all the same, i want the tentacle in a containment unit, borg shouldn't underestimated

Host CO_Saalis says:
CNS: For the moment, we wait for their report.

EO_Hixxan says:
CTO: Can we beam it to a containment field in sickbay?

CNS_Samantha says:
::Nods:: Computer: Delay seal order.

Host Buzzard says:
<COMPUTER> CNS: Acknowledged

Host CO_Saalis says:
::Raises one eyebrow:: CNS: Counsellor? Is the deck not yet sealed?

MO_Harek says:
@::Pulls hard, but nothing happens:: XO: How about a phaser?

CNS_Samantha says:
::Glances back at the CO:: CO: Captain, you just told me to wait..

Host CO_Saalis says:
CNS: For any further actions, I requested the deak sealed five minutes ago.,

CTO_Darklighter says:
EO: First we should inform the captain....*CO* Darklighter to Saalis

XO_Bolitho says:
@MO: Sounds like a plan :: waits for the Doc to move and fires::

Host CO_Saalis says:
*CTO* Go ahead.

CNS_Samantha says:
CO: Yes you did, however I've detected life forms in the deck. According to the rules I must ask you again because of that, Captain.

Host CO_Saalis says:
CNS: Counsellor, when given an order, you will follow it. Seal off the deck, immediately.

EO_Hixxan says:
::Continues to scan the metallic tentacle from a distance.... puzzle as to how it could have gotten on the ship and how long it's been around for::

CTO_Darklighter says:
*CO* Sir we appear to have disabled what appears to be some sort of Borg tentacle, the EO has full scans of it for you but he also discovered Human DNA on it sir...your orders on how we should continue?

Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: Door implodes showering the XO and MO with debris

MO_Harek says:
@::Covers face::

XO_Bolitho says:
@::Brushes herself down:: MO: Okay maybe a lower setting was called for ::Smiles::

CNS_Samantha says:
CO: And I've fallowed it, Captain. ::Glances back at the Computer:: Computer: Resume the seal order, ignore the presence of life forms.

Host Buzzard says:
<COMPUTER> CNS: Command verification requested

XO_Bolitho says:
@::Walks in and looks around waiting for the MO to tell her which Direction::

MO_Harek says:
@XO: Trail and error. At least it worked. ::tries to peer through the debris:: Should we go in?

CNS_Samantha says:
::Glances back at the Captain:: CO: If you please, Captain?

CTO_Darklighter says:
EO: It's not going anywhere for the moment, the deck has been sealed off, as far as I remember

EO_Hixxan says:
CTO: I'm going to run the DNA sample through the medical records in Sickbay..... I'll meet you up there....

XO_Bolitho says:
@MO: Yep.. so where now ?

Host CO_Saalis says:
Computer: Computer, seal off requested sections immediately, authorisation Saalis pi one one zero. All sealable bulkheads and level ten force fields.

Host Buzzard says:
<COMPUTER> CO: Command authorisation confirmed

Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: Deck 10 is sealed completely

EO_Hixxan says:
::Begins to walk away, and notices door won't open:: CTO: Well, I guess I can try and do it from here....

MO_Harek says:
@::Walks into the room and tries to scan again::

CTO_Darklighter says:
EO: Wait for the orders

XO_Bolitho says:
@::Looks around the room at various things waiting for the MO to find the spot ::

Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: The MO and XO walk into a room where items appear to be resting on pedestals

CNS_Samantha says:
::Glances up again:: *XO*: Please report your status, Commander.
XO_Bolitho says:
@::Looks at something with interest::*CNS* We are in the room but not have found the energy source yet ::looks back at something ::

CNS_Samantha says:
*XO*: Is there anything we can do to help?

XO_Bolitho says:
*CNS* Nothing at the moment we will keep you informed, How’s the Borg situation ?

CTO_Darklighter says:
*CO* Darklighter to Saalis

Host CO_Saalis says:
*CTO* Go ahead.

MO_Harek says:
@::Looks at the items:: XO: Looks like Iconian technology

EO_Hixxan_ says:
::Begins to tap into ships medical records...... and goes sets up a direct connection interface with the sample of human DNA he had recorded on his Tricorder from the tentacle:: CTO: This should give us some insight into where this thing came from......

CNS_Samantha says:
*XO* We've sealed the deck, so far nothing else to report.

CTO_Darklighter says:
*CO* Mr Hixxan has disabled the tentacle, but he still isn't sure where the human DNA on it is from, request permission to be released from deck 10 and transported to Sick Bay to investigate the DNA

XO_Bolitho says:
@::Nods a little nervously at it all:: MO: I wonder if this is what the 'Pirates' were interested in

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Motions to the EO to stop:: EO: Wait for the captains orders, or we'll never get off this deck

CNS_Samantha says:
::Glances back at the Captain:: CO: Captain, the Away Team have yet to discover the energy source.

MO_Harek says:
@XO: That would be a logical assumption.

Host CO_Saalis says:
*CTO* Is there anything else there?

XO_Bolitho says:
@::And starts wondering to herself just who the pirates are:: MO: Where's the energy source?

EO_Hixxan_ says:
::All of a sudden, the DNA comes up with an exact match with an officer on the ship:: CTO: This can't be right, I'm reading the CSO's DNA ......  isn' t he the crew member with a Borg arm

Host CO_Saalis says:
CNS: Understood.

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Looks at the EO:: *CO* Mr Hixxan hasn't detected anything else

MO_Harek says:
@XO: I believe it was from these items.
