Host SM_Mike says:
IN THE NOT TOO DISTANT PAST ...

Host SM_Mike says:
Elzon-Tur of the Light Brigade nervously breathed in the Rek'tal that filled the room. The orange energy always had soothed him when nervous - crackling down his lungs and sending shivers down his spine and nerve endings. It was a very pleasant sensation that eased the mind of its worries. But not today.

Host SM_Mike says:
Not with what he was observing on the readouts before him.

Host SM_Mike says:
It had been days since he and his people here at the Cascade Barrier Center had heard anything from the inner worlds. The last communication spoke of visitors that had seemingly arrived out of nowhere. They called themselves explorers. But there had been an ominous feel to them. Apparently that feeling was correct.

Host SM_Mike says:
Now Elzon-Tur feared the worst. And the sensors proved it. Something was coming to the Cascade.

Host SM_Mike says:
The Light Brigade are the guardians of the Cascade for a reason. It is the edge of their plane of existence. Their Universe. Beyond the Cascade is unknown to them. But it is believed to be a harsher place. A wondrous but harsher place.

Host SM_Mike says:
Stories speak of worlds untold. Rooms filled with no energy. To THINK - people that did not breathe Rek'tal.

Host SM_Mike says:
The Light Brigade is here to keep anything from THAT place from getting to their homes, and likewise, anyone of their people from getting to THAT place. For their own sake.

Host SM_Mike says:
His best tactician, Orgo-Naut, hovers nearby - a blue hue energy plume surrounding his head. Tk'et energy always keeps him on edge ... which is when his mind is at its sharpest.

Host SM_Mike says:
The blank look on Orgo-Naut's mind says it all. Whatever is approaching is coming fast. And if it's responsible for the lack of contact with the inner worlds, then they may be forced to battle momentarily.

Host SM_Mike says:
KRAKABOOM! The arrival is sudden and vicious, and the time they thought they had to prepare vanishes quicker than the energy they breathe as it disappears into the red vacuum.

Host SM_Mike says:
Death comes - and the Light Brigade is lost.

Host SM_Mike says:
They have come. The figures hover amongst the wreckage of the Cascade Barrier Center. The corpses of their victims floating through the red vacuum around them. The largest of them moves forward, and strikes out with his mighty fist. Reality shudders ... and the Cascade ruptures.

Host SM_Mike says:
A doorway opens.

Host SM_Mike says:
ACTION: The Present.

Host SM_Mike says:
ACTION: The Sovereign Class USS Seleya warps through space, en route to the Charnok Star System.

TO_Ens_Redwood says:
::rings the RR door chime::

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::steps onto the bridge, taking the time to look around to some of the new faces::

CNS_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::rotates her shoulder where the Gnarf took a heavy swipe and waits to be seen::

FCO_Cmdr_Knight says:
::steps out of the TL and onto the bridge and heads toward the CO::

CMO_Dr_Atreides says:
::Gets some coffee from the side table in his office and gives one of his plants a sad look:: Self: Dar let another of my plants die again. ::sighs::

CNS_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::gets sick of waiting and logs herself into the medical console by her biobed and grabs a tricorder::

TO_Ens_Redwood says:
::steps back from the door as the CO steps out::

MO_Dr_Knight-Sky says:
:: Making her way to the lift, she orders it down to the medical bay.::

OPS_Lt_Pandora says:
::Is about to take a seat when he hears the door open behind him and spots the CO entering. He immediately changes direction and heads towards the CO::

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
:: suddenly notices someone was outside her door:: TO: Oh Hello Ensign, I didn't see you there

Host SM_Mike says:
<SO_Ens_Arkoff> ::Approaches the CSO in Stellar Cartography:: CSO: Sir, Ensign Magdalena Arkoff reporting for duty. I have the most recent space lanes "weather" reports, and interstellar traffic advisories. I was going to present them to the new Conn. officer. Did you want a copy?

TO_Ens_Redwood says:
CO: I just came to report for duty, Captain. ::hands over a PADD:: These are my transfer orders. I won't keep you

Host SM_Mike says:
<EO_Ens_Ydren> ::Looks at the gel covered crewman:: CEO: Everything okay, sir?

MO_Dr_Knight-Sky says:
:: As the lift stops, she steps off and walks the short distance to the double glass doors of medical, stepping through them as the slide open.::

CNS_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::begins her own scans from her head down, recording them as she would do if she were in charge, here, ignoring CMO's own logging methods::

CMO_Dr_Atreides says:
::Leaves his office and begins the first tour of sickbay::

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
TO: I remember your face Mr. Redwood, from your file. I am sure the CTO will give you appropriate orders. For the time being I'd like you to take tactical on the bridge

FCO_Cmdr_Knight says:
::stands and waits until the TO finishes and he looks over at the OPS officer::  OPS:  New posting as well?

CSO_LtJG_Axin says:
::turns his head to look at the approaching science officer, a single eye open, his eyebrows raised in fearful anticipation:: SO: Thank you.  Ensign.  ::opens the other eye:: Arkoff.

CEO_Ens_Hume says:
Ydren: Nothing that a change of uniform won't fix.

CEO_Ens_Hume says:
::Hume composes himself::

TO_Ens_Redwood says:
CO: Aye ma’am. ::turns on the spot and takes the tactical position::

MO_Dr_Knight-Sky says:
:: Nods a greeting to the nurse as her eyes search out the doctor, whom she has not seen since he showed her to her new quarters.::

OPS_Lt_Pandora says:
::Arrives at the CO's location, noticing more officers nearby:: FCO: Yeah.. Got assigned just before the ship was set to head off on this mission... ::Looks over at the captain:: You as well I guess, commander?

CMO_Dr_Atreides says:
MO: Good morning doctor!

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::notices a "line"::FCO/OPS: Commander Knight, Lt Pandora. It’s nice to finally meet you ::extends her hand to the two::

CSO_LtJG_Axin says:
::extends his hand open palmed to Arkoff for the report::

CEO_Ens_Hume says:
Ydren: Was there something Ensign?

TO_Ens_Redwood says:
::activates the tactical console keeping quiet::

Host SM_Mike says:
<SO_Ens_Arkoff> ::Smiles a bright smile, and hands over a PADD:: CSO: Of course, sir.

FCO_Cmdr_Knight says:
::extends his hand::  CO:  Commander Ethan Knight, reporting for duty Captain.

OPS_Lt_Pandora says:
::Takes the offered hand:: CO: Thank you captain..

CSO_LtJG_Axin says:
::hopes there'll be nothing particular of note, and wonders why, just why, this Arkoff is so unfortunately cheery::

MO_Dr_Knight-Sky says:
:: Nods a greeting:: CMO: The morning regrettably has not been so good for some of my family.  However, I am here.  Where would you like to place me for now.

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods and shakes the FCO's hand:: FCO: I trust you and your family have settled in

CSO_LtJG_Axin says:
SO: Thank you... ::takes it, and scans his eyes over the data, turning away from her once more::

CNS_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::checks her circulation, and muscle structure, seeing some stress due to her recent scuffle on the Holodeck::

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::then shakes the OPS hand::OPS: And I hope you leave us with more than hope ::smiles, hoping he doesn't mind the reference to the myth::

Host SM_Mike says:
<EO_Ens_Ydren> CEO: Sir, I performed the daily inspections of the anicum titanide canisters. The gravity systems are all in order. ::Hands over a PADD::

CMO_Dr_Atreides says:
MO: Oh? I'm sure it's just the change of scenery...How would you like to carry out the CNS' annual physical? ::smiles::

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
FCO/OPS: Now gentlemen, I trust you know your orders. Lets get to work

FCO_Cmdr_Knight says:
CO:  Yes ma'am.  Very fine quarters if I may say so.  Now, if you'll excuse me, I do believe I have some piloting to do.  ::smiles::

CEO_Ens_Hume says:
::Takes PADD from Ydren and eyes over the results::

MO_Dr_Knight-Sky says:
CMO: The counselor?  I am fine with that.  We have yet to meet.

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods at the FCO as he leaves::

OPS_Lt_Pandora says:
::Nods:: CO: Of course captain.. Though I do have a box with me... ::Smiles as he turns to head over to his console::

CNS_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::spins a dermal regenerator, sets it to repair deep tissue damage and, spinning it once more for the fun of it, gets to work on her shoulder::

CMO_Dr_Atreides says:
MO: She's currently in the process of doing it herself, she thinks she owns the place. I really should have her access revoked at some point, oh and watch out she's angry for a Betazoid.

FCO_Cmdr_Knight says:
::walks over to his station and relieves the AFCO::

Host SM_Mike says:
<SO_Ens_Arkoff> CSO: Anything else you need from me, sir?

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods at the OPS too and heads for her chair::

Host SM_Mike says:
<Dr_Grey> ::Walks in:: CMO: Dr. Atreides, sir. MO: And you must be Dr. Knight-Sky. ::Smiles pleasantly::

CEO_Ens_Hume says:
Ydren: Very good Ensign. If there's nothing else then I'll leave Engineering in your hands. Commander Gomes has asked me to be present when we meet the Charnokans.

FCO_Cmdr_Knight says:
::looks down at his readings::  CO:  Captain, we are arriving at the Charnok Star System.

Host SM_Mike says:
<EO_Ens_Ydren> ::Looks surprised:: CEO: Er, uh ... all right, sir.

MO_Dr_Knight-Sky says:
:: Lifts a brow:: CMO: My husband is Betazoid.  ::Turns to the stranger and nods a greeting.::

CMO_Dr_Atreides says:
Grey: Morning!

Host SM_Mike says:
ACTION: The Seleya drops out of warp in the Charnok Star System.

CSO_LtJG_Axin says:
::briefly wonders if he can order subordinates to be less happy, before shaking his head slightly:: SO: No.  Thank-you...

CMO_Dr_Atreides says:
MO: I know, and he seems very nice.

CEO_Ens_Hume says:
Ydren: I'll be on the bridge if you need me.

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::as she sits in her chair the viewscreen suddenly changes, replacing warped space with the Charnok system::

MO_Dr_Knight-Sky says:
:: Unconsciously notes the change in the ships vibrations.::

TO_Ens_Redwood says:
::reviews tactical data::

Host SM_Mike says:
<Dr. Grey> ::Holds out hand to the MO:: MO: I am Doctor Patrick Grey. I know you're just getting settled in, but as the ship's pediatrician, I figured you'd want to know there are some families who are quite interested in meeting you ... and a few patients you might want to take on today.

CNS_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::rotates her shoulder and does a little more work on one particular spot::

OPS_Lt_Pandora says:
::Sits down at the console and logs on, cancelling the reroute of OPS controls in place before he took the station::

CEO_Ens_Hume says:
:: Smiles at Ydren and heads towards the TL::

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
FCO: Take us to the rendezvous coordinates. OPS: Look for the Charnokan welcoming committee

Host SM_Mike says:
<EO_Ens_Ydren> CEO: Aye, sir. ::Nods as he departs, and goes to help Crewman James get a new uniform::

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
TO: Scan their planet

CEO_Ens_Hume says:
TL: Bridge.

FCO_Cmdr_Knight says:
CO:  Aye.  ::brings up the coordinates and sets course::

Host SM_Mike says:
<SO_Ens_Arkoff> ::Wonders why the CSO is so gruff:: CSO: Aye, sir. ::Heads off::

MO_Dr_Knight-Sky says:
:: Waves her hand, not touching his, a smile in her eyes.::  Grey: I look forward to meeting them.  It will be a pleasure to immerse myself back into the pediatric field.

CMO_Dr_Atreides says:
::Leaves her in the care of Grey for now and watches Suder from afar::

Host SM_Mike says:
ACTION: The Seleya shudders mildly.

OPS_Lt_Pandora says:
::Taps the console to look for the right functions::

CEO_Ens_Hume says:
::Arrives and steps onto the bridge::

CNS_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::spins the generator after turning it off, and picks up the tricorder again to continue her scans. Checks her own medical files while she scans::

FCO_Cmdr_Knight says:
::checks his readings once again::  CO:  Sorry Captain, just some mild subspace disruptions.

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
All: What was that shudder?

CEO_Ens_Hume says:
::Takes up position at Engineering Station::

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods at the FCO:: FCO: Keep an eye on them

TO_Ens_Redwood says:
CO: No unexpected vessels on sensors.

OPS_Lt_Pandora says:
::Sets up the monitoring of communication channels, set to pick up any transmissions::

Host SM_Mike says:
<Dr. Grey> ::Smiles:: MO: Good to hear. In the meantime, I think Counselor Suder is waiting for you ...

FCO_Cmdr_Knight says:
::continues to check his readings and yells out::  CO:  Understood.

MO_Dr_Knight-Sky says:
:: Would be concerned, but picks up calm from her husband.  She might not have the advantage of personally being on the bridge to know what is going on, but there was much to be said about the Vulcan marriage bond.::

CSO_LtJG_Axin says:
::turns back to his console, setting the PADD down on the top of it, satisfied there's nothing he needs to discuss personally with the bridge officers::

MO_Dr_Knight-Sky says:
Grey: One wonders... if you will excuse me.

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
TO: Very well, once we are in range, I'd like a full tactical assessment of their capabilities. Remember we will be hiding behind a moon but perhaps you can inspect them anyway

Host SM_Mike says:
ACTION: Small beeping alerts come up in Stellar Cartography.

OPS_Lt_Pandora says:
::Frowns at the readings he's getting:: CO: Uhm, captain... There's no-one here... I'm not picking up any communications either... ::Looks up at the viewscreen for a moment, then back at his console::

CMO_Dr_Atreides says:
Grey: Could you do me a favour?

MO_Dr_Knight-Sky says:
:: Turns toward the woman she takes for the counselor and steps over to her.::  CNS: May I assist you?

TO_Ens_Redwood says:
CO: Yes maam.

Host SM_Mike says:
<Dr. Grey> CMO: Yes, Doctor?

CNS_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::looks up, perhaps a little guiltily:: MO: Hm? ::pauses:: Oh! No. I'm good, thanks.

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
OPS: Perhaps they were detained for some reason. Can we scan the planet from the rendezvous coordinates?

CMO_Dr_Atreides says:
Grey: From now on don't let counselor Suder in here unattended please, she messes our filing system up not to mention that she shouldn't be performing minor surgery on herself.

CNS_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::looks down and keeps on with her scanning::

OPS_Lt_Pandora says:
::Taps his console:: CO: I'll try...

Host SM_Mike says:
<Dr. Grey> ::Half smiles:: CMO: Are you sure that's necessary? She's fully trained in the medical field ...

MO_Dr_Knight-Sky says:
:: Lifts a brow:: CNS: Good is not a word I would be using at the moment.  Not to mention, it is my understanding I am to complete your physical.

FCO_Cmdr_Knight says:
CO:  Reaching the rendezvous coordinates in one minute.

CSO_LtJG_Axin says:
Self: Nooo, nonononnonono... ::punches the controls to pull up the reason for the alerts::

CMO_Dr_Atreides says:
Grey: She's also fully trained in believing herself to be the CMO of this vessel.

CNS_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::finds the tendon that had been giving her trouble all morning and reaches for the regenerator again:: MO: Feel free to watch, if you like, but I do my own. ::glances up:: MO: New to the Seleya?

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods at the FCO and sits back::

CEO_Ens_Hume says:
::Reviews Engineering reports from bridge station::

FCO_Cmdr_Knight says:
::with the ship still shuddering, he checks his navigational sensors::

MO_Dr_Knight-Sky says:
:: Gently takes the various devices from the counselor:: CNS: Actually, I am not the kind of person to watch.  If you will please take the biobed, we will proceed.

TO_Ens_Redwood says:
::prepares some scans::

Host SM_Mike says:
<Dr. Grey> ::Laughs:: CMO: Fair enough, Doctor. I'll make sure she's accompanied if she decides to pay a visit.

CSO_LtJG_Axin says:
::is jolted into alertness as if he'd taken a double hit of raktajino by the data on the screen::

CMO_Dr_Atreides says:
::smiles:: Grey: Thank you, I'll see you later.

FCO_Cmdr_Knight says:
CO:  Captain, navigational sensors seem to be a bit off.  Suggest going to manual helm.

OPS_Lt_Pandora says:
::Tries to run scans of the planet, not entirely sure he's working the controls right::

CNS_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::raises an eyebrow, takes in the number of pips on the MO's collar and stays where she is:: MO: There is no need, Lt. I'm sure you have lots of work to do elsewhere.

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
FCO: Proceed. Do you think these subspace phenomena are a hazard to navigation?

CSO_LtJG_Axin says:
*OPS*: Stellar cartography to the bridge, this is Lieutenant Axin... I'm reading a massive subspace disturbance somewhere in the system...

TO_Ens_Redwood says:
::runs another tactical scan::

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
OPS/FCO/OPS: I do not recall the Merrimac mentioning any navigation problems ...

CEO_Ens_Hume says:
CO: Commander, we've got a problem. Some of our alert systems are going off.

FCO_Cmdr_Knight says:
CO:  Switching to manual controls.  I don't believe so Captain.  Hopefully I can get us a smoother ride here shortly.  ::enters the commands to go to manual flight control::

Host SM_Mike says:
ACTION: The vibrations end.

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
FCO: Very well but warn me if you start loosing control of the situation

CEO_Ens_Hume says:
CO: It seems that subspace disturbances in the area are stopping the engines from forming a stable warp field.

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
OPS/TO: No news from the planet gentlemen?

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CEO: Can you compensate?

FCO_Cmdr_Knight says:
CO:  Acknowledged.  Ah, there we go.  Hopefully no further shudders from here on in.

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods at the FCO:: FCO: Good work

CSO_LtJG_Axin says:
::runs his fingers over the console trying to get more localized information on the distortions::

MO_Dr_Knight-Sky says:
CNS: No matter what my rank, I will outrank you in all things.  Please do not take that route.  As for work, this is my work.

Host SM_Mike says:
<SO_Ens_Arkoff> ::Enters the bridge and proceeds to the conn.:: FCO: Sir, here are the latest local interstellar traffic advisories and spatial patterns. ::Hands him a PADD, smiles, and then heads off::

OPS_Lt_Pandora says:
CO: Uhm... Getting some readings, not very clear.. But something has definitely gone wrong.. We need to get into a closer orbit for better readings...

CEO_Ens_Hume says:
CO: No Commander, the interference is too strong.

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
OPS: is there a way to approach the planet and still remain blind to their scanners?

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CEO: Are the engines in danger of failing?

CSO_LtJG_Axin says:
::his jaw drops open as more data comes through::

FCO_Cmdr_Knight says:
::looks down at the PADD and reviews the information at the same time while manually flying the ship::

MO_Dr_Knight-Sky says:
:: Motions again for her to take make herself comfortable on the biobed::  CNS: If you would please...

CSO_LtJG_Axin says:
*OPS:* Axin to bridge... the disturbances are emanating from - well, they're coming - as far as sensors are indicating, they're coming directly from the Charnok home world...

CEO_Ens_Hume says:
CO: The engines themselves are fine, but the warp field is collapsing. Suggest we go to Impulse.

CNS_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::stands up, a little wordless for a moment:: MO: I can do my own physical...doctor. I have been doing my own for years on this ship. ::finds herself hooshed towards a biobed:: I suggest you let me co- ::now she knows how SHE made everyone unwilling to have a physical feel like:: MO: Lt. I am not a sheep! I know where to go.

OPS_Lt_Pandora says:
CO: Unknown.. I haven't a clue... From what I can see, though, I would begin to doubt whether there is anyone left there to see us in the first place..

Host SM_Mike says:
<Lt_Ryan_Heaton> *CMO* Doctor, the early vibrations caught a crewman off guard. He's a got a pretty severe break over here, and we're working on internal transporters in the area. Can you come help out? We're on deck eleven.

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CEO: suggestion acknowledged. We'll keep at impulse while in the system ::looks at the helm::

FCO_Cmdr_Knight says:
CO:  Captain, according to my coordinates, we have arrived at the rendezvous.

Host SM_Mike says:
ACTION: The Seleya moves into orbit of the Charnok home world's moon.

MO_Dr_Knight-Sky says:
CNS: My great-grandparents raised sheep.  It is actually a very relaxing experience.

CMO_Dr_Atreides says:
::Grins at the sight of his new MO not wavering to Suder and decides this might be a good year if she sticks around:: *Heaton*: Understood, I'm on my way. ::Grabs his medkit and waves to some orderlies in case he needs to transport him back to sickbay::

CNS_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::sits on the biobed, a dark cloud all but visible over her head::

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::frowns:: OPS: You mean no one left on the whole planet?

CMO_Dr_Atreides says:
TL: Deck 11.

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
FCO: Keep us in a steady orbit as planned

FCO_Cmdr_Knight says:
CO:  Acknowledged.  ::maintains a steady orbit around the moon::

TO_Ens_Redwood says:
CO: Captain, the entire satellite array is down - we're completely undetectable

MO_Dr_Knight-Sky says:
:: Reaching for a medical recorder, adjusts it for Betazed physiology and begins her scans from the beginning.::  CNS: I take this to mean you have been aboard this vessel a long time.

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
TO: How do you mean down? Destroyed or powerless?

OPS_Lt_Pandora says:
CO: I don't know sir.. ::Notices a blinking light from the corner of his eye and presses it:: *CSO*: Sorry lieutenant, must have somehow muted this during transmission.. You said something about subspace distortions?

CSO_LtJG_Axin says:
.... ::had simply assumed the bridge were ignoring him::

TO_Ens_Redwood says:
::checks data:: CO: I can't determine that...if we could get closer maybe. Most of them seem crushed.

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
TO: Alright, bring us to yellow alert

CNS_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::does not lie down:: MO: I have been on the Seleya for about 8 years. Part of the medical staff for most of that time. You'd think that would allow me so-... you're doing that wrong. You need to wiggle your hand less.

TO_Ens_Redwood says:
::delightedly activates yellow alert::

CMO_Dr_Atreides says:
::Steps off the TL with the rest of his team:: *Heatong*: I'm on Deck 11, where is the injured crewman?

CSO_LtJG_Axin says:
::Set his jaw, leaning over the console to repeat himself:: *OPS*: Bridge, yes... subspace distortions are originating from the Charnok home world...

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
FCO: Proceed to orbit the planet OPS: Be ready to take readings and if you are talking to the CSO ask him to come up

OPS_Lt_Pandora says:
*CSO*: Can you pinpoint the precise location? ::Looks at his own readings for anything new::

Host SM_Mike says:
ACTION: The Counselor is suddenly struck by a frightening feeling of being elsewhere ... elsewhen ... and a voice fills her mind ... "Listen to me. There will be a wedding. You are all witnesses. Then you will leave us forever. Understand?"

FCO_Cmdr_Knight says:
CO:  Breaking orbit of the moon and heading to the planet.

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
TO: We'll be in direct contact with the planet. I'll want answers. What happened to those satellites

MO_Dr_Knight-Sky says:
CNS: Why would I 'wiggle' my hand at all?  As for your earlier question... :: Makes a note:: No actually, except in times of emergency, it does not.  That would be like me walking into the science labs and moving about doing as I please or walking into the CMO's office and riffling through his things.

Host SM_Mike says:
ACTION: The Seleya shifts position once again, approaching the world which begins to fill their viewscreen. They can see dark smoke choking the skies ... and a lot of fire on the surface.

TO_Ens_Redwood says:
CO: Get me close enough and I'll see what sensors pick up

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::looks at the screen::All: A civil war again? OPS: Life readings?

CMO_Dr_Atreides says:
Computer: I have a report of an injury, locate please.

CNS_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::MO's voice fades into the backgrounds for her as a new voice, one from the past interrupts. Gets a startled look on her face and her breathing quickens a little::

Host SM_Mike says:
<Computer> CMO: Down the hall, and to the right. ::Arrows light up along the wall::

FCO_Cmdr_Knight says:
::brings the Seleya into a standard orbit of the planet::  CO:  Captain, we've entered orbit around the planet.

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods:: FCO: Thank you Commander. Keep a Sharp eye for those disturbances

CMO_Dr_Atreides says:
::Jogs along the corridor until he finds the injured crewmember:: Self: I like the new CEO, the computer finally responds to me after 4 years.

TO_Ens_Redwood says:
::checks for vessels in the area then tries a detailed scan on the satellites::

MO_Dr_Knight-Sky says:
:: Opens a draw and pulls out a med kit to begin working on her various muscle strains.  Pauses as she picks up on the increased heart rate::  CNS: Counselor?

FCO_Cmdr_Knight says:
CO:  On it Captain.

OPS_Lt_Pandora says:
CO: Unknown for now.. Running additional sca.... ::Sees another blinking light:: CO: Incoming transmission!

Host SM_Mike says:
<Lt_Ryan_Heaton> ::Sees the CMO appear. He, and two other crewman are standing over the wounded officer who is lying on the ground in pain. Nearby is an open panel in the floor where they had been working::

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
OPS: On Screen

Host SM_Mike says:
<Lt_Ryan_Heaton> CMO: Thanks for coming sir, Crewman Jefferies here had been working near the opening in the floor. When the ship shuddered, he fell in.

CSO_LtJG_Axin says:
*OPS*: As I can make out... it's focused on the population centre in the southern hemisphere.

CMO_Dr_Atreides says:
Heaton: Poor guy. ::Kneels down and scans the injured engineer::

CEO_Ens_Hume says:
::Brings up design blueprints for the new space-time driver coil on his monitor::

CNS_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::looks at MO suddenly, as if she'd just appeared:: MO: wh-? Oh. No. Just remembered something I'd...forgotten. :: smiles to hide her worry::

OPS_Lt_Pandora says:
*CSO*: Okay, copied that.. ::Puts the communication on screen:: CO: On screen, aye..

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
TO: I thought they couldn't detect us ...

Host SM_Mike says:
ACTION: A bloodied and beaten Orten, leader of the United Government, appears on the screen ... "HELP US! PLEASE"

Host SM_Mike says:
ACTION: The transmission suddenly cuts.

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
OPS: Where did that come from??

FCO_Cmdr_Knight says:
::looks up at the viewscreen and watches it go blank::

MO_Dr_Knight-Sky says:
CNS: I am a good listener... and you obviously like to do things the hard way.  :: continues working on the various strains.::

OPS_Lt_Pandora says:
::Shakes head:: CO: Origin unknown, but I have a hunch... The CSO mentioned something about subspace disturbances originating from the population centre in the southern hemisphere...

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
TO: I want a thorough scan of the planet. How many life signs and where. Furthermore, report any weapons fire you detect

TO_Ens_Redwood says:
CO: Noted. ::scans the planet::

MO_Dr_Knight-Sky says:
:: In the back of her mind she picks up her husbands reactions, but as it does not concern her at the moment, forces her curiosity to stay put as she continues with the counselor.::

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods at OPS::OPS: Ask him for a complete scan of that area. How many life forms and what may be originating the subspace distortions

TO_Ens_Redwood says:
CO: Ma’am, I'm picking up infrequent explosions on the surface. There are life signs, yes, but with the disruptions it is hard to get a fixed reading.

CNS_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::bites her lip subconsciously, trying to make sense of the voice she just heard; the voice of the Seleya, once sentient::

FCO_Cmdr_Knight says:
::continues to manually pilot the ship::

OPS_Lt_Pandora says:
CO: I'm not getting a more detailed fix... Southern hemisphere.. Apparently the capital city.. Governor's mansion....

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::takes a deep breath:: All: So the war has returned and suddenly they want our intervention again

MO_Dr_Knight-Sky says:
:: Opening herself up to the counselor::  CNS: Something is troubling you.

TO_Ens_Redwood says:
CO: Wasn't it our fault in the first place?

CMO_Dr_Atreides says:
Jefferies: Your leg is broken in two places, we're gonna patch you up and take you back to sickbay for treatment and observation. ::Gives him something for the pain before immobilizing the leg and motioning to the two orderlies who came with him to transfer him to a hover stretcher to transfer him to sickbay::

CNS_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::looks up at the MO:: MO: It's nothing. ::look frustrated:: Can't you hurry this up?

Host SM_Mike says:
<Crewman_Jefferies> ::Nods in pain::

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
TO: The war was not our fault

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::looks at the screen considering::

MO_Dr_Knight-Sky says:
CNS: Healing takes time, you should know that.  We in this century and ship are more fortunate then others.

TO_Ens_Redwood says:
::looks to the viewscreen and the fuzzy dice::

CMO_Dr_Atreides says:
::Gives the crewman a reassuring smile as he's transferred to the stretcher and walks slowly to the TL beside it::

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
TO: Can you determine the origin of those explosions? What kind of technology it is

OPS_Lt_Pandora says:
::Looks for more communications, then suddenly remembers he still has a message to relay:: *CSO*: Oh, lieutenant.. The captain asks for more detailed scans of the area.. And a decent analysis of that data..

TO_Ens_Redwood says:
CO: Unknown ma’am. Maybe an away team would find out most of this information. ::wants to get stuck in::

CMO_Dr_Atreides says:
TL: Sickbay. ::Waits for everything to get in before the door closes::

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
FCO: You heard the OPS about those subspace disturbances. Perhaps your navigational sensors can help shed a light on what is going on

CNS_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::starts to get off the biobed:: MO: Look, I don't have time for this, now. I'll limp for a while. I'll survive. ::lands on her right foot and winces with the pain::

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
TO: I am not interfering unless I see signs of other interference Ensign

FCO_Cmdr_Knight says:
CO:  Checking now Captain.

MO_Dr_Knight-Sky says:
:: Picking up her panic, sends her soothing feelings as if she were one of the children.::  CNS: You do have the time... now.  :: Helps her back onto the biobed::

TO_Ens_Redwood says:
CO: Obviously I meant an undercover team

CMO_Dr_Atreides says:
::Walks towards sickbay and waits for everyone else to arrive::

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
TO: I would still need more evidence. Till then we just observe

FCO_Cmdr_Knight says:
CO:  Unfortunately, I don't have any better news.  Navigational sensors show the origination on the planet, but it's unknown as to exactly where.

CNS_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::looks at MO, and blinks, almost insulted that she'd try to placate her:: MO: What's your name, Lt?

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
FCO: More than where, I am wondering about what. Is there anything on the database that causes this type of distortions?

CSO_LtJG_Axin says:
::transfers the sensor data to engineering, with a note that they should investigate the effect the fractures could have on the Seleya's warp drive::

CMO_Dr_Atreides says:
::Motions for Jefferies to be transferred to a biobed::

TO_Ens_Redwood says:
::acknowledges the CO and checks the data on the satellites::

Host SM_Mike says:
<Crewman_Jefferies> ::Grunts as he's moved about::

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::wonders how many are dying on the planet below, right before her eyes::

MO_Dr_Knight-Sky says:
CNS: You may call me Doctor Sky.  :: Moves her onto the biobed, stretching her leg out and begins to work on her foot.::

CSO_LtJG_Axin says:
*OPS*: Bridge, the fractures in subspace... there's a multitude of them, they're all around the planet... I can't give you the predictions yet, the computer's working on them...

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
TO: Try to see if there are any logs anywhere of how this situation started, and why

CMO_Dr_Atreides says:
Jefferies: Just look at it this way, you'll be off work for a while and we'll find you a nice rehab nurse.

Host SM_Mike says:
<Crewman_Jefferies> ::Brightens:: CMO: Promise?

CNS_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::grits her teeth, knowing that her rough landing has further injured her knee. Lies back with a grunt of disapproval and lets the MO work::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
:: Decides the Co's suggestion that he take some leave is not what he needs and leaves his quarters. :: Computer:  computer, locate Kesh Suder.

TO_Ens_Redwood says:
CO: Captain, I'm detecting a vessel departing from the surface...it is Charnokan!

FCO_Cmdr_Knight says:
::brings up the information::  CO:  34 different known causes of massive subspace distortion, 75 incidents of subspace distortion on record caused by unknown reasons.  Twelve of the unknown causes are enemies.

OPS_Lt_Pandora says:
*CSO*: Multiple? That.. That sounds bad... ::Looks at the CO:: CO: Captain, science is now reporting multiple origins for the subspace disturbances...

Host SM_Mike says:
<Computer> XO: Lieutenant Commander Suder is located in Sickbay - Deck Seven.

CMO_Dr_Atreides says:
Jefferies: I promise. ::Walks off to find an osteogenic regenerator::

CSO_LtJG_Axin says:
*OPS*: There's a significant amount of damage to the fabric of subspace... if we intersect one of the planes, I can't accurately predict the effects but I'm confident we wouldn't want to see them.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
:: Frowns at the computers response. :: TL: Sickbay.

MO_Dr_Knight-Sky says:
CNS: Holodeck?  :: Does not alleviate the pain itself, except through the slow healing.::

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
FCO: Its still an awfully big margin. My question is simply if there are others at work here, other than the Charnokan technology

CMO_Dr_Atreides says:
::Returns and starts to work on Jefferies fracture::

Host SM_Mike says:
ACTION: On the screen, the vessel the TO just reported rushes to escape the Charnokan atmosphere. It seems to be venting plasma.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
:: Leaves the TL and heads towards sickbay. ::

CEO_Ens_Hume says:
*Ydren*: Hume to Ensign Ydren, I want you to start analyzing the information coming in from Stellar Cartography. Get the team together, I want you to try and think of any more problems this could cause for us.

CNS_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::leans up on her elbows:: MO: ...yes. ::is suspicious of how the MO knows that, puts up some light mental blocks to see if that'll stop her::

TO_Ens_Redwood says:
CO: It seems to be venting plasma

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
TO: Life signs?

Host SM_Mike says:
<EO_Ens_Ydren> *CEO* Aye, sir, are you getting these readings?

OPS_Lt_Pandora says:
::Frowns at the CSO's last transmission:: CO: Captain, science indicates we should avoid hitting these subspace pockets at all costs... Results will be bad, but no predictions can be made yet..

TO_Ens_Redwood says:
CO: Five

FCO_Cmdr_Knight says:
CO:  Nothing detected so far Captain.

TO_Ens_Redwood says:
CO: But they are faint. All Charnokan

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::taps the sidearm of her chair::*sickbay*Bridge to sickbay

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
TO: Is the ship in danger of loosing life support?

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
:: walks into sickbay, Looking around for Kesh. ::

CEO_Ens_Hume says:
*Ydren*: I am Ensign. Run a level 4 diagnostic on the affected conduits.

CMO_Dr_Atreides says:
::Looks at his screen and notes that it's starting to heal quite nicely::

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods at OPS::FCO: You heard that?

CNS_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::senses the XO immediately, spots him:: XO: Commander...

MO_Dr_Knight-Sky says:
:: Nods:: CNS: The holodeck can prevent you from killing yourself, but not from the strains.  :: Finishes with the foot and works upward to the knee::  What was the program?

TO_Ens_Redwood says:
CO: It doesn't look good. I don't think they'll last

Host SM_Mike says:
<EO_Ens_Ydren> *CEO* Aye, sir.

CMO_Dr_Atreides says:
Self: Wonder where Sam's run off to? She's usually around here somewhere. ::sighs and finishes Jefferies up::

FCO_Cmdr_Knight says:
CO:  Yes Captain.  In order to avoid these, I'll have to bring the Seleya out of orbit.

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*CMO*Gomes to Atreides. When I contact sickbay I expect an immediate answer Lieutenant

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
FCO: Wait a moment in that case, lets figure out what is happening here

TO_Ens_Redwood says:
CO: Sir, two more objects leaving the surface...I cant get an accurate reading but they travel at a high sub light speed

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
:: moves over to the CNS and MO, looking more than a bit haggard. :: CNS:  Are you alright?  :: Seems to not even notice the MO.::

OPS_Lt_Pandora says:
::Nods fervently at the FCO's line, as though saying 'what are you waiting for?'::

CMO_Dr_Atreides says:
*CO*: Hmm? Sorry, I was working on a wounded engineer.

CNS_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::looks terribly disgruntled at not being allowed to do this for herself:: MO: Exercise only. Anything to keep the body in shape, you know... ::sounds petulant::

TO_Ens_Redwood says:
CO: They are headed for the Charnokan vessel...probable some kind of weapons

MO_Dr_Knight-Sky says:
:: Looks up at the newest arrival::

Host SM_Mike says:
ACTION: The Charnokan vessel suddenly explodes on the viewscreen.

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*CMO*You may be having incoming injured from the planet. Prepare an isolated area for them. Gomes out

TO_Ens_Redwood says:
::targets weapons on the objects hoping he'll be able to power them up::

Host SM_Mike says:
ACTION: The two objects that ripped from the surface and approached the vessel hover beyond the explosion, as if observing what they did.

FCO_Cmdr_Knight says:
CO:  Acknowledged.  Holding course.

OPS_Lt_Pandora says:
::Frowns and looks sideways at the CO:: CO: Captain? I must implore the importance to avoid these pockets...

CNS_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::look sup at XO, nods to MO:: XO: Selzah... Meet Doctor...Sky.

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
TO: Then Lets stay out of their way

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
FCO: Take us to a safe distance from the planet

CMO_Dr_Atreides says:
Self: Great. All: Get the isolation ward ready.

TO_Ens_Redwood says:
CO: Aye...shame about those lives though

MO_Dr_Knight-Sky says:
XO: Greetings.  :: Looks from one to the other.::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
:: looks briefly at Sky, nods curtly, then looks back at Kesh, still waiting for his answer. ::

FCO_Cmdr_Knight says:
CO:  Aye.  ::sets course and takes the Seleya to a safer distance.

Host SM_Mike says:
ACTION: Before the crew can do anything, the two objects that ripped through the craft fly toward the Seleya, and suddenly ...

MO_Dr_Knight-Sky says:
:: Her eyes widen suddenly as she turns away from the pair.  Something was approaching... something bad... the ship...  She sends the warning to her husband.::

Host SM_Mike says:
ACTION: ... BOOM! The ship rocks violently. They can hear bulkhead after bulkhead collapsing. BOOM. BOOM. BOOM.

Host SM_Mike says:
ACTION: BOOM. BOOM. BOOM.

CNS_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::suddenly gasps, looking around in obvious panic:: *CO*: Captain! Something.. I don't know what...is going to... ::trails off::

Host SM_Mike says:
ACTION: Suddenly something rips through the floor of Sickbay, and SPLURCH!

TO_Ens_Redwood says:
::activates red alert::

Host SM_Mike says:
ACTION: The CMO finds himself hovering off the ground ... having been impaled by a large black sword. Being held by a towering dark figure.

FCO_Cmdr_Knight says:
::his thoughts immediately focus on Sierra::

MO_Dr_Knight-Sky says:
:: Turns around::

Host CO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::holds to her console:: FCO: If you can pull us out, best possible speed. TO: Prepare to find a target ...

Host SM_Mike says:
ACTION: The figure coughs - "Hmmm ... interesting."
