Host CO_Bolitho says:
CSO: Is it safe ?

CNS_DeLindt says:
*CO*: Captain, do you mind if a borrow Commander Muir for a bit?

XO_Muir says:
CSO: Put up a level 10 force field in the cargo bay, and beam it into that area. Also, I want that section off limits for all personnel.

CSO_Hazzem says:
XO: Aye sir.

Host CO_Bolitho says:
*CNS* Not a problem counsellor ::grins at Muir::

CTO_Darklighter says:
XO: Sir the Sparrow has just entered the system

CSO_Hazzem says:
CO: It is stable.

CEO_Masters says:
XO: Sectioned off? Won't that make it a little hard for us to find out how it worked?

CNS_DeLindt says:
*XO*: Commander, would you mind coming down to my office?

Host CO_Bolitho says:
::Nods:: CSO: Beam it up to a secure enclosure please meet with the CEO and see what you can make of it

::Sighs::

SO_Revell-Francis says:
CO: Captain, there's an incoming hail from the USS Sparrow.

CEO_Masters says:
CSO: So, just how much of the Mirror was actually destroyed in the blast?

Host CO_Bolitho says:
CSO/CEO: Let me know when the mirror is a board and what you find

CNS_DeLindt says:
*XO*: Thank you Sir.  I'll be expecting you.

XO_Muir says:
::Gets up, shoots the CO a bemused look, and heads for the Turbolift::

<CO_Perry> CO: Good day Captain ::nods and smiles:: were on station, please give us your latest sitrep reports and you can go on your way

CSO_Hazzem says:
CO: The mirror is sealed in Cargo Bay 1; the deck has been posted off limits

Host CO_Bolitho says:
COM: CO Perry : I will have the SO Send them over.

CEO_Masters says:
::Begins walking towards the Turbolift::  CSO: Shall we investigate?

CSO_Hazzem says:
CEO: It seems to be intact, structurally. We might have to go up close to it and investigate it

Host CO_Bolitho says:
::Is still amused by Commander Muir::

SO_Revell-Francis says:

CSO_Hazzem says:
CEO: I'm going to wire a few explosive packs to it, just in case it decides to work again

CEO_Masters says:
::Walks out of the Turbolift and towards the bay, checking her phaser and already having it at the ready:: CSO: The fact that it manages to survive the blast mostly intact is a testament to its creators. The explosives we used could have easily levelled a small town.

CTO_Darklighter says:
CO: Aye sir ::plots in the coarse and hits warp::

Host CO_Bolitho says:
SO: You May want to slave SCI one as well please Ens

CSO_Hazzem says:
CEO: True ::Walks into the bay, the mirror lies in the middle, slowly walks up to it::

CSO_Hazzem says:
*CO* Hazzem to bridge, I'm here with Commander Masters in Cargo Bay 1, we're analysing the mirror

CEO_Masters says:

::Scans the mirror:: CEO: It's getting stronger too. What's the source though?

Host CO_Bolitho says:
CTO: ETA to the Starbase

XO_Muir says:
CNS: Water. Ice cold please.

CEO_Masters says:
::Gives the mirror a small kick:: CSO: I can't seem to find it...

CEO_Masters says:
CSO: The energy seems to be more consistent now...

CTO_Darklighter says:
CO: 53 minutes Ma'am

Host CO_Bolitho says:
CTO: Wonderful thank you

CNS_DeLindt says:
Replicator: One ice-cold water and one peppermint tea.

Host CO_Bolitho says:
SO: I take it all those bugs were killed off and we haven’t left any behind ?

CNS_DeLindt says:
XO: So, tell me a bit about yourself, Commander?

SO_Revell-Francis says:
:: Looks up at his instruments ::

CEO_Masters says:
::Starts looking around for some sort of instrument panel of some kind... or an access port::

SO_Revell-Francis says:
CO: Not to my knowledge, Captain.

CSO_Hazzem says:
Computer: Initiate a Level 10 force field around this object; a make a diameter of 5 meters surrounding it

CSO_Hazzem says:
CEO: Just in case something or someone decides to show up

SO_Revell-Francis says:
CO: Only a few fragments locked away in Sickbay.

CEO_Masters says:
CSO: Maybe we can rig up a dampening field in here...  reduce those power levels.

Host CO_Bolitho says:
SO: Fragments?

CEO_Masters says:
::Watches the force field come to life... with her standing inside of it::

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Standing inside the field:: CEO: Maybe we should!

CEO_Masters says:
::Runs her hand across the surface of the Mirror, still looking for some control port or at least some writing::

SO_Revell-Francis says:
CO: Parts, shrapnel that was pulled from the wounds of the away teams.

XO_Muir says:
CNS: Starfleet Service number 991021 - 002.  I was born on Earth, in the Trill Embassy compound. I've been married once, and I've been in Starfleet for 6 years as an FCO, and now XO.

CNS_DeLindt says:

CNS_DeLindt says:
XO: Name, rank and serial number?  Don't worry, you’re not here for interrogation.

XO_Muir says:
CNS: Yes... ::almost says sir, as he feels slightly inferior::... Ensign.

CEO_Masters says:
CSO: Hmm... the power level is getting stronger.

SO_Revell-Francis says:

Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: The Seleya 'lurches'

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Goes behind the mirror, looking for anything:: CEO: Agreed

CEO_Masters says:
Computer: Activate a dampening field around the object at the centre of Cargo bay 1.

CTO_Darklighter says:
SO: Negative I engaged at warp 9

MO_Cameron says:
::Holds on to his desk as he is pushed forward.   Looks up and around, then wanders into sickbay to check everything is okay::

Host CO_Bolitho says:
::Feels Seleya Lurch:: CTO: Problems ?

SO_Revell-Francis says:
CTO: I'm reading an absolute speed of Warp 4.5...

CSO_Hazzem says:
CEO: Did you feel that?

SO_Revell-Francis says:
CTO: Can you confirm that?

CTO_Darklighter says:
CO: We're losing speed, it's like something is dragging us down

XO_Muir says:
::Feels the Seleya lurch... reaches for his combadge... then realises they will contact him if he's needed::

CEO_Masters says:
::Straightens out a stray lock of hair::  CSO: Yeah... maybe some subspace instability, though my gut says this thing has something to do with it.

Host CO_Bolitho says:
SO: Scan the area and see if it’s anything

XO_Muir says:
::Takes a seat, and sits very. very rigidly::

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Nods:: CEO: How are the power levels now?

CNS_DeLindt says:
::Watches the ice water splash out of the glass as the Seleya Lurches::

SO_Revell-Francis says:
:: Performs a full sweep of the vicinity ::

CNS_DeLindt says:
XO: So, what do you do for fun, Sir?

CEO_Masters says:
CSO: Remember that those spiders were drawn to energy readings? Well, they did make their hive around the Mirror. For all we know, maybe this thing draws off of other power sources as well.

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Thinks to himself::

Host CO_Bolitho says:
SO: Anything ?

XO_Muir says:
CNS: I play rugby, I read, and I dive. And I don't think you need to call me 'Sir', here.

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Stands up:: *Bridge* Bridge this is Commander Abdel-Hamid, is everything alright up their?

SO_Revell-Francis says:
CO: Captain, there's nothing of interest around us, but I am reading a power surge from inside the ship.

CNS_DeLindt says:
XO: True...  tell me more about the diving, its a sport that I’ve never spent much time studying.  If you don’t mind, of course.

Host CO_Bolitho says:
*CSO* Seems we have something pulling us down Commander and there seems to be a power surge on the ship has that anything to do with you ?

Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: There is a huge flash from the Quantum Mirror as it activates, the power surge knocks the Seleya out of warp

CIV_Kavek says:
::Enters the bridge adjusting to the pain medications that are... still in effect::

SO_Revell-Francis says:
CO: It's coming from Cargo bay with the Quantum mirror, that's for sure.

CEO_Masters says:
CSO: I can't believe this thing doesn't have a control or access port of some kind... how'd that Collins woman activate this thing? Must be... must be one of the pieces destroyed in the blast-whoa crap! ::flies back against the force field, hitting the ground with a thud::

SO_Revell-Francis says:
:: Is thrown over his console, and sits back up with the sudden deceleration ::

CTO_Darklighter says:

Host CO_Bolitho says:
CTO: Yellow Alert until this is sorted ::stumbles slightly::

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Flies against the force field, letting out a loud moan of pain::

Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: Inertial dampeners literally screech

Host CO_Bolitho says:
*ALL* Report Now !

XO_Muir says:
CNS: Well, what can I say? You get in a wetsuit, and you go underwater... Nowadays it's a lot easier than a couple of hundred years ago, as we have much better equipment, and we can go a lot deeper. I have to say though, that the best fish in tropical temperatures hang around the 25 metre mark... I remember this one time my twin, Ryan and I went...

XO_Muir says:
::Realises he's going off topic and straightens up::

CNS_DeLindt says:
*CO*: No problems here - do you need your XO back Ma'am?

CEO_Masters says:
Computer: Computer, deactivate force field and re-engage in 10 seconds!  ::waits for the field to go down and rolls away from the Mirror::

CTO_Darklighter says:
CO: Reading all stop Captain, something knocked us out of warp

Host CO_Bolitho says:
CTO: Understood

XO_Muir says:
CNS: It's an experimental sport, one that you can enjoy no matter who you are.

SO_Revell-Francis says:
CO: I'm still detecting a mounting power surge in the main cargo bay.

MO_Cameron says:
::Is thrown to the other side of the diagnostic room, landing against a cabinet::

Host CO_Bolitho says:
*XO* Commander Muir to the bridge

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Wipes his brow and sets yellow alert::

Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: The Computer lowers the force field and brings it back up after Masters has rolled clear

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Gets up and gathers his strength, rolls after the CEO::

Host CO_Bolitho says:
*CEO/CSO* Report!

MO_Cameron says:
::Gets up, dazed::  All: Is everyone a'right?

CNS_DeLindt says:
XO: Saved by the bell?  I think I'll join you on the bridge.

Host CO_Bolitho says:
SO: Any Damage reports coming in ?

XO_Muir says:
::Nods at the CNS::

CIV_Kavek says:
::Takes a seat in the back admiring the captain... and trying to figure out what just happened::

CEO_Masters says:
*CO* The Mirror is showing increased power activity... other then that, we couldn't tell you much more, Captain.

SO_Revell-Francis says:
:: Checks the computer :: CO: Negative, Captain - no damage reported.

XO_Muir says:
::Exits the room quickly, without looking back; mainly due to duty, but also because he doesn't like therapists::

Host CO_Bolitho says:
CIV: Ahh Amb Please Take Eng until Lt commander Master is back

CNS_DeLindt says:
::Follows the XO::

CEO_Masters says:
*Security* Security Teams to Cargo bay 1...

MO_Cameron says:
::after a few nods from one or two shocked medical staff:: *CO* Sickbay is standing by, Captain.  What happened?

Host CO_Bolitho says:
*CEO* Was it responsible for bringing us to a halt ?

XO_Muir says:
::Races to the nearest Turbolift, summons it, and then uses his command override to ensure it comes here directly::

XO_Muir says:
::Steps into it, turning around as he does so he is facing the CNS::

CIV_Kavek says:
::Nods to the CO:: CO: Okay.

Host CO_Bolitho says:
*CMO* Unknown at the moment Doctor please stand by there are no Damage reports casualties from a sudden halt is unknown at the moment

CNS_DeLindt says:
::Steps into the TL, with a raised eyebrow:: XO: Going somewhere?

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Stands holding his chest, catching his breath::

MO_Cameron says:
*CO* Acknowledged.

CEO_Masters says:
::Walks over to a floor-mounted console and begins pulling up data on the Mirror:: *CO* The Mirror appears to have activated itself... it might be interfering with the subspace fields generated by our warp drive, and probably caused us to get knocked out of warp. Either that, or it might be feeding off of the energy around it...

SO_Revell-Francis says:
:: Focuses internal sensors on Cargo Bay 1 to see what they can reveal ::

CEO_Masters says:
*CO* We simply don't know at the moment...

Host CO_Bolitho says:
*CEO*: So what are you saying Chief we stay put until we have resolved this ?

CSO_Hazzem says:
*CO* I recommend so, Captain

CNS_DeLindt says:
Turbolift: Bridge.

Host CO_Bolitho says:
*CSO/CEO* Get it dealt with quickly Please

Host CO_Bolitho says:
SO: Inform Starbase 671 of the problem and that we are going to be a little longer than we thought

CEO_Masters says:
*CO* I agree. We'll try to see what we can do about deactivating it. Internal diagnostics show that the Mirror is draining power directly from our warp reactor, and that the power surge within the Mirror is getting stronger.

XO_Muir says:
CNS: I'm sorry about that. I have to admit that I'm not generally at ease around Counsellors.

CIV_Kavek says:
::Monitoring engineering, thinking still about what his career goals might be::

SO_Revell-Francis says:
CO: Aye, Captain.  :: Hits a few keys and sends out the message ::

Host CO_Bolitho says:
*CEO* Shut it down Chief by any means... I can get the Amb to take the warp core of line if need be

Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: A metallic spindly leg exits the quantum mirror

CNS_DeLindt says:
XO: I understand, very few people are.  You don't trust me yet.  Why should you?  You’ve barely known me two weeks.

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Sees the security team, and orders them to wait::

CEO_Masters says:
*ME* Masters to Main Engineering, bring the M/ARA down to its lowest output level without shutting the reactor down... now!

XO_Muir says:
CNS: It isn't that. I'm just a very private person, and any problems I have I prefer to deal with myself. I hope I haven't offended you.

CSO_Hazzem says:
CEO: Commander! ::Sees the leg exiting the mirror::

CNS_DeLindt says:
XO: Not at all.  I'm not here to lay your deepest secrets bare.  Just to help you get more out of yourself.

Host CO_Bolitho says:
XO: Commander if that Mirror is going to cause us problem it gets beamed off My Ship

CEO_Masters says:
CSO: Aren't you glad we brought phasers? ::moves to the cargo Transporter and locks onto the spider, attempting to beam it into the pattern buffer::

SO_Revell-Francis says:
:: Sees the sensor results coming in - a new metallic presence is forming in the cargo bay ::

XO_Muir says:
::Nods and smiles at the CNS, keeping the glance until the lift doors open::

Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: The rest of the spider exits the Mirror and sits on the edge of the mirror starring at the StarFleet officers

XO_Muir says:
::Steps out onto the Bridge, and makes his way towards his chair::

CSO_Hazzem says:
CEO: Wait! this one seems interested

XO_Muir says:
CO: Commander Adam Muir reporting for duty.

SO_Revell-Francis says:
CO: Captain, I'm detecting the emergence of the same metallic pattern we saw in the spiders

XO_Muir says:
::Takes his seat::

CNS_DeLindt says:
::Moves to his chair as well, smiling to the CO::

XO_Muir says:
CO: What's happening?

CEO_Masters says:
::Holds back on transporting::

Host CO_Bolitho says:
SO: Understood

SO_Revell-Francis says:
CO: I think it came through the Quantum Mirror..

CEO_Masters says:
::Walks towards the force field, her Tricorder ready::

Host CO_Bolitho says:
*CEO* What is going on down there

CEO_Masters says:
Computer: Attempt to scan the machines for any signs of communication, and run it through the universal translator.

CSO_Hazzem says:
*CO* Bridge, this is Commander Abdel-Hamid. We have one spider exiting the mirror, but it is not attacking us

Host CO_Bolitho says:
::Thinks:: *CSO* That Mirror is going stand By

Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: A second and third spider exits the mirror and turn to regard the StarFleet officers

CEO_Masters says:
*CO* Captain... just a moment... we might want to try and communicate with the spiders first.

Host CO_Bolitho says:
SO: Beam that mirror off of my ship with that spider if possible

XO_Muir says:
::Looks alarmed::

SO_Revell-Francis says:
CO: Two more metallic signatures!

CSO_Hazzem says:
*CO* Captain, I recommend we wait and try to analyse them. The spider seems to be regarding us, they could be trying to communicate

XO_Muir says:
CO: Suggest we beam mirror into space immediately, then flood those compartments.

Host CO_Bolitho says:
*CEO* You have until they are off this ship commander I will not take the chance

SO_Revell-Francis says:
CO: Attempting to get a lock...  :: Tries to get a Transporter lock on the mirror ::

CEO_Masters says:
Computer: Anything?

Host CO_Bolitho says:
CTO: When that mirror is off my ship hit it with a couple of Quantum Torp

SO_Revell-Francis says:
CO: I have a positive lock on the mirror....

CNS_DeLindt says:
::Listens to what is going on:: CO: I tend to agree with the CEO here.  Although we may want to try communicating with them once they are off the ship.

Host CO_Bolitho says:
SO: Get it off My Ship Lt.

CTO_Darklighter says:
CO: Aye sir ::loads on of the launchers::

Host CO_Bolitho says:
CNS: No it goes

SO_Revell-Francis says:
CO: Energizing   :: Beams the mirror into space, ahead of the Seleya ::

Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: The mirror and the spiders sitting on its cusp disappear in a Transporter beam out

Host CO_Bolitho says:
XO: You’ve had dealings with these spiders if there’s any left find away to get them off please

CNS_DeLindt says:
CO: Exactly.  Get it off the ship first, then once it is a decent distance off, try establishing some dialogue.  If that does not work, then destroy them.

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Locks onto the mirror:: CO: Target locked captain

CEO_Masters says:
::Slams her Tricorder on the floor:: CSO: Damnit... all we needed was a few more seconds...

::thinking he wishes he could just... fire a load of napalm bombs into that mirror... the heat would decimate even those spiders::

CEO_Masters says:
::begins rubbing the back of her neck:: Computer: Computer, were there any signs of communication between the spiders?

CSO_Hazzem says:

XO_Muir says:
::Looks at the CO and slightly shakes his head, agreeing with the CNS, but not wanting to undermine her::

CNS_DeLindt says:
CO: If there is any chance that there are more of these mirrors around, we have to learn all we can about the spiders and their capabilities, so that future attacks by them can be dealt with swiftly.

Host CO_Bolitho says:
XO/CNS: You have two minutes to see if you can communicate with them

SO_Revell-Francis says:
CO: Captain, the mirror is still active!  I'm reading 10- no, 15 spiders incoming.

CEO_Masters says:
Computer: Relay the findings to the bridge science station... ::begins heading out of the cargo bay, bridge-bound. Turns to make sure the CSO is following::

Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: More spiders appear through the gate and they all seem to be drifting towards the Seleya

Host CO_Bolitho says:
SO: Understood XO: Commander now would be a good time to tell me

XO_Muir says:

CTO_Darklighter says:
CO: 30 seconds till they impact with the shields

CEO_Masters says:
All: Nothing yet...

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Tries to find a way to stop them::

XO_Muir says:
CEO: They present a danger to all of the Federation if unleashed...

XO_Muir says:
::Looks back to the CO, as  their time is swiftly running out::

CEO_Masters says:
XO: So did the Klingons!

CNS_DeLindt says:
XO: I do agree.  I feel if they don't respond to pointed attempts at communication, they should be destroyed.

XO_Muir says:
CEO: The Klingon’s we could speak to! These Aliens might not even be sentient!

CEO_Masters says:
::Begins hitting controls, running various translation matrices through the communications array::

CEO_Masters says:
All: Wait... wait... I've got something...

CSO_Hazzem says:
ALL: Wait

CIV_Kavek says:
::Takes her lack of response as a no and gets himself some Romulan tea, then sits back at his console::

XO_Muir says:
::Pushes himself away from the Science station, and moves to the Conn, ready to get the Seleya out of here as a final measure::

CNS_DeLindt says:
::Patiently:: CEO:  Yes?

Host CO_Bolitho says:
All: Lets get one thing clear .. those Bugs out there destroyed a planet .. from what I’ve read from your reports they were wiping out another planet to ... I will not take the risk they will get to run Loose on Seleya .. the consequences could be unimaginable is that understood!

CSO_Hazzem says:
ALL: We've got something ::looks on his screen:: ALL: Need to feed

CEO_Masters says:
All: We're getting some sort of... collective response. Their 'need to feed' on something.

CNS_DeLindt says:
CO: Understood.

XO_Muir says:
ALL: Their need to feed on us!

CSO_Hazzem says:
CEO: Energy

CEO_Masters says:
CO: Captain, with respect, our mandate it to seek out new life and new civilizations... not destroy it.

CIV_Kavek says:
::Thinks they could always try to feed on a large plasma grenade... I'm sure it'll be very delicious when it blows them to kingdom come::

Host CO_Bolitho says:
CEO: You want to try and tell them that ?

Host CO_Bolitho says:
XO: Your decision Commander Now !

XO_Muir says:
::Sits back in his chair, not wanting to get involved, as both sides of the argument make sense to him::

CNS_DeLindt says:
CO: We have an attempt at communication from them...

XO_Muir says:
::Looks down for a second... not sure what to say::

Host CO_Bolitho says:
CNS: And ?

CEO_Masters says:
::Attempts to run a message back through the comm array to the spiders:: COM: Spiders: We wish you know harm. Please hold your position and we'll attempt to help you.

CNS_DeLindt says:
XO: I feel we should hold off on destroying them.  But I agree that the safety of the Seleya is vital.

XO_Muir says:
CO: I... I... I suggest we go to evasive, to buy Commander Masters more time.

Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: The first of the spiders make contact with the Seleya's shield and go straight through them

CTO_Darklighter says:
CO: They've gotten through the shields captain

CEO_Masters says:
CO: Suggest we go full reverse, Captain.

Host CO_Bolitho says:
CTO: That’s it Fire Lt

SO_Revell-Francis says:
:: Sees a sensor blip go through Seleya's outer shields ::

XO_Muir says:
::Looks at the helm sensors, seeing their proximity::

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Opens fire::

Host CO_Bolitho says:
CEO: Catch that little horror and see if you can communicate with it in a secure enclosure now Commander

CEO_Masters says:
::Locks transporters onto the single spider going through the shields and attempts to hold it in the pattern buffer::

CNS_DeLindt says:
::Remains silent, his feeling a mystery::

Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: Quantum torpedo's erupt from the Seleya targeting and hitting the Quantum Mirror

Host CO_Bolitho says:
CEO: And if that bug gets out on my ship Commander I will have you pips Understood!!

XO_Muir says:
::Looks down at the console, glad he is at the front of the bridge so that no one can see the conflict of interests playing out on his face::

Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: The Explosion from the Mirror almost upends the Seleya

SO_Revell-Francis says:
:: Holds onto his console as the ship rocks from the explosion ::

CNS_DeLindt says:
::Holds tightly to his chair, muttering about seatbelts::

CEO_Masters says:
::Begins to look at the Captain to respond before being knocked up against the science console from the blast::

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Grabs his console::

Host CO_Bolitho says:
::Falls Back in her chair ::

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Flies away onto his back::

MO_Cameron says:
::Holds onto a bio bed::

XO_Muir says:
::Falls backwards from the helm, landing in the command area at the CO and CNS' feet::

CEO_Masters says:
::Grips the wall and continues to work at her station::

SO_Revell-Francis says:
:: Gets back into his chair and checks sensors ::

XO_Muir says:
::Rolls over to the side, then gets up, to the helm and activates the stabilising thrusters::

Host CO_Bolitho says:
All: Report

XO_Muir says:
All: Damage Report!

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Sits up, shaking his head. Then stands up::

SO_Revell-Francis says:
CO: I'm reading a quantum fissure emerging from the last  co-ordinates of the mirror ::

CIV_Kavek says:
::Thinks this is really getting serious::

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Goes back to SCI 1::

CEO_Masters says:
::Walks over to her engineering station, brushing her hair as side as she looks over the incoming damage reports::

Host CO_Bolitho says:
SO:I is this going to cause a problem for us?

XO_Muir says:
::Feels some blood on the back of his head::

CSO_Hazzem says:
CEO: You ok?

SO_Revell-Francis says:
:: With some alarm in his voice :: CO: It's getting larger

CIV_Kavek says:
::Boosts more power to shields:: CO: I'm boosting more power to shields. Maybe they won't get through.

CEO_Masters says:
CSO: I think my ego is the only thing bruised at the moment...

XO_Muir says:
*Sickbay* Medic to the bridge!

Host CO_Bolitho says:
SO: Full reverse get us out of the way

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Pats the CEO's back::

CTO_Darklighter says:
CO: Warp power, shields and propulsion are all off line

Host CO_Bolitho says:
XO: Commander are you okay ?

MO_Cameron says:
*XO* On my way, sir.  ::grabs a med kit and races to the bridge::

CNS_DeLindt says:
::Looks around the bridge:: XO, CO: Where can I be most useful?

Host CO_Bolitho says:
*MO* Cameron to the bridge please

XO_Muir says:
::Brings the Seleya on a course to SB 675 and hits engage::

Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: The Seleya is drawn towards the fissure

CEO_Masters says:
CO: Captain... the Mirror uses energy to power itself. It used our warp reactor to activate itself, and probably used the energy from our torpedoes to open itself larger!

Host CO_Bolitho says:
CNS: See what injuries we have

XO_Muir says:
CNS: You could get a dermal regenerator, and use it here ::points to the wound in the back of his head::

Host Buzzard says:
<Computer> XO: Unable to comply

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Eyes widen in anger and surprise:: CO: Captain, we're being drawn in

XO_Muir says:
::Hits the console slightly::

CNS_DeLindt says:
CO: Aye Ma'am.  ::walks to the XO:: XO: Lets have a look at your head...

Host CO_Bolitho says:
CEO: ET of getting the ship on line

XO_Muir says:
CO: Propulsion is offline.

CEO_Masters says:
::Starts pulling up a repair time estimate::

MO_Cameron says:
::Enters the bridge, and looks around for signs of people lying, blood pouring from every orifice, such was the fervour of the call::

Host CO_Bolitho says:
CIV: See if the Chief can use you

CNS_DeLindt says:
::Runs a medical Tricorder over the XO's Head.::

CIV_Kavek says:
::Takes a moment to think:: Self: We have to find anti to energy that can... reverse the effects of our energy devices. Do we have the capability to create... anti-energy?

XO_Muir says:
::Turns in the chair, and bends his head forward, so his cut can be seen::

CEO_Masters says:
CO: At least 15 minutes, Captain.

CIV_Kavek says:
::Blinks:: CO: There are four chiefs on the Starship captain. Which one are you referring to?

MO_Cameron says:
::Notices DeLindt attempting to treat Muir, and walks towards them::

CNS_DeLindt says:
MO: The XO has a cut at the back of his head.  Nothing serious.

SO_Revell-Francis says:
CO: Negative!  We'll be at the center in 5 minutes.

Host CO_Bolitho says:
CIV: CEO Amb

Host CO_Bolitho says:
CEO: Seems you have 4 minutes Chief

CEO_Masters says:
::Begins sending repair teams to restore ship's propulsion::

MO_Cameron says:
::Nods::  CNS: Thank ye, Counsellor.  ::gets out his dermal regenerator, and sorts out the little cut::

CNS_DeLindt says:
All: Anyone else injured?

CIV_Kavek says:
::Nods:: CO: Okay. ::looks to the chief engineer:: ; CEO: Need some help?

XO_Muir says:
MO, CNS: Thanks...

CEO_Masters says:
CSO: What exactly is drawing us into the fissure? Perhaps we can generate something to repel us instead!

XO_Muir says:
::Feels the back of his head::

XO_Muir says:
CO: Suggest evacuation of non-essential staff.

SO_Revell-Francis says:
:: Checks himself for injuries but only finds minor bruises ::

Host CO_Bolitho says:
::Paces the bridge::

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Scans the area between the Seleya and the fissure, trying to find any energy signatures::

CNS_DeLindt says:
::Watches the CO::

CEO_Masters says:
CIV: There's not much we can do, Ambassador. Even with an extra set of hands, there's no way we can get warp and impulse power back online in time. ::frowns::

CSO_Hazzem says:
CEO: It could be gravitational

MO_Cameron says:
CO: Was there anyone else, Captain?

SO_Revell-Francis says:
:: Looks at his sensors and tries to think of how to close up a fissure like that ::

CEO_Masters says:
CSO: Are you sure?

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Scans further::

Host CO_Bolitho says:
MO: Hopefully Just commander Muir

XO_Muir says:
SO: Couldn't we use the phaser’s as a kind of 'stitch' to close that up?

CNS_DeLindt says:
CO: You all right Captain?

XO_Muir says:
::Feels a little embarrassed at having the only injury::

CIV_Kavek says:
CEO: How about a shuttle? ::thinks:: I can make it to the shuttle bay, get my ambassadorial shuttle... and pull the Seleya. ::thinks:: As much as I can.

MO_Cameron says:
::Nods:: CO: Aye, sir.  ::enters the Turbolift and returns to sickbay::

SO_Revell-Francis says:
XO: It was a burst of energy that opened this up, Commander... I wouldn't think more energy will help close it

Host CO_Bolitho says:
::Listens to the conversation flying a round the bridge trying not to show she’s slightly annoyed::

XO_Muir says:
SO: What about anti-matter?

CEO_Masters says:
CIV: Our mass is too high...

SO_Revell-Francis says:
XO: Anti-matter...

XO_Muir says:
SO: If we through the warp core at it, would it close up?

CEO_Masters says:
All: I might have a solution... ::starts generating calculations::

CEO_Masters says:
XO: Might make it bigger, actually.

XO_Muir says:
::Sits back, his pride a little hurt::

SO_Revell-Francis says:
XO: Perhaps an antimatter detonation will reverse the process

XO_Muir says:
CEO: That's why I'm not an engineer.

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Snaps out of it:: CEO: There seems to be a rip in the subspace fabric, Commander. It must've been the reaction between our torpedoes and the fact that the mirror is taking in energy

CIV_Kavek says:
::Realizes how ridiculous his idea is:: CEO: Never mind that. Is there a way we can... create some form of... anti-energy to revert the power of this fissure. If our energy gave it power... anti-energy should take it away.

Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: The Seleya is drawn close and closer to the rip in the subspace fabric

CEO_Masters says:
CO: An inverse warp field might close up the fissure... key word being 'might.'

Host CO_Bolitho says:
CEO: Propulsion Commander

CNS_DeLindt says:
::Sits back in his chair, still watching the CO closely::

XO_Muir says:
::Moves away from the helm to make space for Masters, still feeling uncomfortable around her::

CEO_Masters says:
::Attempts to create an inverse warp field using whatever systems are still available::

SO_Revell-Francis says:
:: Stands up from his console :: CEO/CIV: An antimatter stream might help to offset the expansion of the tear...

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Tries to make enough energy for the CEO::

XO_Muir says:
::Looks at the CNS to see if he noticed, than moves to his seat::

Host CO_Bolitho says:
::Watches closely as her crew work still pacing the bridge::

XO_Muir says:
::Sits down and looks at the report::

XO_Muir says:
CO: Shall I use the evacuation orders?

Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: The Seleya rolls over and performs a dying swan dive as she disappears into the subspace fissure

Host Buzzard says:
***Pause the 'Journey' ***
