As the USS Seleya crew investigates developing matters relating to the mysterious Augurs' inability to see aspects of their people's future, an officer on the ship, Lt. JG Farson was confined to quarters due to his suspected part in an information leak via the Seleya's ODN computer system...

USS SELEYA - STARDATE 10705.27

THE FATE MAKERS - PART THE FOURTH

"De Profundis"

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@:: On the planet below the orbiting Seleya, she gently brings the current topic with the augur to a close, seeing that he is relaxed and fairly comfortable with her.::

TO Ens David Goran says: 
::Waits in the transporter room::

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
::on the bridge, maintaining current orbit::

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Waits till the tingling of the transporter is gone, and then steps off the padd, glad to be away from the so-called "Augers". :: TO:  Report.

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::On the bridge, monitoring system status, still annoyed at the captain's decision::

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Motions for him to follow as he heads out of the TR and heads for the nearest TL. ::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@Augur: Are you ready to proceed with simple hypnosis?

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
::sitting in her chair pondering what happened and waiting for her coffee::

TO Ens David Goran says: 
XO: We have lieutenant Farson confined to quarters for interrogation ::follows the XO::

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
::is fully aware of Sierra's status::

Augur #1says: 
@::nods slowly to the MO, slightly unsure, but is willing:: MO: I am...

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
TO:  Have the techs gone over this "game" of his?

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Steps into the TL and waits for the TO. ::

TO Ens David Goran says: 
XO: They are working on it Sir

TO Ens David Goran says: 
::Follows XO::

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says: 
::Sitting on the floor in front of the Captain, refusing to go anywhere near the replicator::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
OPS: What is the current ODN status?

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
::begins performing minor diagnostics to the helm::  OPS:  Lt., just want to let you know that I'm going through some diagnostics.....shouldn't affect any systems.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@:: Opens her kit and pulls out a multifaceted stone of many colours::  Augur:  I want you to relax and focus on this stone.  Listen to my voice and nothing else.

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Nods. ::  TO:  Alright, let’s go hang this Farson up by his ankles and see what falls out.  :: Steps off the TL and heads down the corridor to towards Farsons quarters. ::  TO:  Have the security detail remain outside while we question him.

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Looks around at the CO, after checking the requested information:: CO: ODN running at normal capacity.... Sir...

Augur #1says: 
@::stiffens at first, then lets his shoulders down:: MO: Please commence. I am...prepared, I believe.

TO Ens David Goran says: 
XO: Aye sir ::They arrive at Farsons quarters::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
OPS: We are absolutely sure of this Lt?

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Nods at the Security detail and heads inside. ::

TO Ens David Goran says: 
Security: You men remain here please till we finish

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Rolls eyes at the question:: CO: Yes... ::Turns back to the console::

TO Ens David Goran says: 
::Heads in after XO::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ :: As he settles, she lifts the stone to catch the light of the room.  Then slowly motions it from side to side.  Her voice is soft and gentle::  Augur: Your eyes are getting heavy... your body relaxed...

ACTION: A slight data spike briefly chews into the ODN resources, then disappears, as if the activity never happened.

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Looks coolly at Farson. :: Farson:  Mr. Farson.

TO Ens David Goran says: 
::Stands with the XO acknowledging Farson::

LtJG Farson says: 
::sucks in his breath deeply upon seeing the XO, feeling downright nervous:: XO: Sir? ::is seated awkwardly on the side edge of his bed::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
FCO/OPS: I understand the situation maybe calm now but I am very concerned

Augur #1says: 
@::it is hard for the MO to tell if he is feeling dazed, being unable to see his eyes through the cloth hung over them::

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
Farson:  At ease Lieutenant, we’re not the lynch mob.

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
CO/OPS:  I'm always ready for the unexpected.

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Nods absently at the FCO's remark, barely registering it, as he monitors the systems once more::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ :: Carefully watching him slip into a deep sleep::  Augur: Count from ten backwards, when you reach one, you will awake back in your study 2 years ago, 10 minutes before the incident.

LtJG Farson says: 
::sighs and gazes down on the floor, knowing his crewmates may find it difficult to ever trust him again::

TO Ens David Goran says: 
Farson: We need to know more about this game Lieutenant

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
Farson:  We just need to get some facts straightened out.  Let’s start with why you think you’re here?

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
*Roth*:  Ensign, have the repairs to the Vatican been completed?

Augur #1says: 
@MO: My...study....? 10...9...8....7....

Roth says: 
*FCO*:  All repairs signed off sir.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
OPS: Keep an eye on internal sensors in Farson's quarters

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
::brings up the status reports on all shuttles::  *Roth*:  Acknowledged.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ Augur: Open your eyes...

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
Farson:  You know about the ODN spikes we've been getting, yes?

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ Augur: Tell me what you see.

LtJG Farson says: 
XO: You think I was responsible for what happened to the computers? You already know my son is blameless.

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Sighs softly, not turning around:: CO: I keep an eye on all internal sensors.. That includes quarters...

TO Ens David Goran says: 
::steps back seeing the XO is controlling the situation::

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says: 
::Yawns tiredly, still staring blankly at the direction of the viewscreen::

Augur #1says: 
@ ::mumbles the numbers to himself, his voice fading, as if he just fell asleep::

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
OPS:  Another five minutes and I should be done with these diagnostics.

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
Farson:  Your son isn’t what concerns me Lieutenant.  My concern is why the ODN activity is linked to this "game".  Now then, who else has access to this "game"?

ACTION: Yaw and pitch controls go offline on the FCO's console.

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Nods slowly at the FCO's remark::

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
::looks down at his console as it beeps::  Self:  Now what?

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
OPS: Thank you Lt. And remember, commanding officers not always do what one expects but they always have a reason...

EO Ens Tana says: 
:;running down the corridor, hoping something important like inertial control doesn't go off at an inconvenient time and slam him up against a bulkhead::

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
::enters some commands to compensate for the offline controls::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ ::Repeats::  Augur: Open your eyes.

EMMA says: 
::running along easily behind Tana, unconcerned by the happenings::

ACTION: The FCO regains controls of yaw and pitch. In the process, thrusters control becomes non-responsive.

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Shrugs, knowing disagreeing now wouldn't help in the slightest::

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: waits for Farson to answer, trying the diplomatic approach for once. ::

LtJG Farson says: 
XO: No one else, sir. Just my son was the only one I knew was playing it.

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
::notices another problem crop up::  *EO*:  Can you check thrusters for me?

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
Farson:  Where did you get this game?

Auger #1 says: 
@::does as the MO says, and gasps aloud::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
::taps her badge::*EO*: Gomes to Tana

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@Augur: Tell me what you se.

LtJG Farson says: 
XO: Starbase 13, of that much I know.

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says: 
::Tilts her head backwards at the sound of the Captain's badge chime, hoping to overhear something::

EO Ens Tana says: 
*FCO*: I'm arriving at engineering right now, sir.

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Looks over at the TO. :: TO:  same place we got our secret friend.

Auger #1 says: 
@MO: Garden....Pathfinders...

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
Farson:  how did you come by it?  Did someone give it to you?

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
*EO*:  Thrusters control has become non-responsive.

Auger #1 says: 
@MO: Destruction...oooh...confusion...

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ :: Stays still.  The pathfinders had not been mentioned before.::

EO Ens Tana says: 
::reaches out and grabs the corner of the wall and swings around the blast doors and into Engineering, answering his combadge again:: *CO*: Tana here, Captain. ::somewhat breathless as he skids to a stop in front of the MSD, bringing up the helming systems::

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
CO:  Captain, I'm having a bit of a problem with thruster control.  I've asked Engineering to check it out.

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Glances sideways as he hears the FCO, and pulls up the system reports::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@Augur: Can you describe them to me?

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Notices a slight shimmy in the ship, but doesn’t address it. ::  :: Great, now what? ::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
FCO: That explains why they weren't responding. This happened just now?

ACTION: Thruster control to the port RCS responds, but starboard blinks on and off erratically.

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
CO:  Aye.  Nothing out of the ordinary until now.  ::looks down at his console::

Augur #1 says: 
@::slowly shakes his head:: MO: 14...40...28...

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
*EO*:  I've got port thrusters back, but starboard is currently down.

Augur #1 says: 
@::whispers:: MO: The lights above...aglow...

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
OP: Maybe now we will find you were right

EO Ens Tana says: 
::calls up an overlay of the ODN thruster linkages on the main ODN, causing them to glow blue, constrictions showing in yellow, frowning at the readouts:: *FCO*: I don' have an immediate answer for you, Commander. Level 5 diagnostics finds nothing wrong with them and the icing sensors and filters aren't reporting any problems.

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Leans back and motions for the TO to come into the corner with him. :: ::Whispers:: TO:  have a team find the son and keep him isolated, we need to talk to him to find out if he knows something his father doesn’t.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
:: Makes note of the numbers.  They are different this time.  The last ones had been 12, 48, 480.::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@Augur: What lights?

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
OPS: did you receive the information the CTO gathered on the central government?

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Nods:: Outloud: Better late than never... ::Furiously taps some buttons, trying to find the errors in the system::

TO Ens David Goran says: 
::Leaves the room::

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Looks back to Farson::  Farson:  Well?

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
*EO*:  Understood.  But I'm going to need full thrusters if we need to get out of here in a hurry.

Augur #1 says: 
@MO: 315...nooooo...they're...all dead...my... ::seems to waver in his posture::

EO Ens Tana says: 
::was quickly scanning over the layout looking for a break in the line in one of the checked decks but doesn't find one. Instead he follows it up... up.... :: *FCO*: I'm sorry sir, but are you sure you're not doing something strange here? There's no break in the control systems. The thrusters seem to be doing exactly what it's being told.

TO Ens David Goran says: 
Security: Take two men and find Lieutenant Farson's son and bring him here

EO Ens Tana says: 
::glances up unnecessarily:: *FCO*: .... From your station, sir.

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
CO: Yes, we did, and no, we did not have time to look at it yet , what with all the other problems...

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ :: gently:: Augur: You are safe... nothing can touch you here.  Can you tell me anything more?

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Takes a step towards Farson, lowering his voice a little and indicating his fading patience. :: Farson:  Where did you get the game Lieutenant?

LtJG Farson says: 
::looks up:: XO: Sir? You can find my son on deck 3 with one of his friends. They're just kids, please don't scare them.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
OPS: Very well. First things first. Solve this thruster problem

TO Ens David Goran says: 
::Enters Lieutenant  Farsons quarters again::

LtJG Farson says: 
XO: I just told you, Starbase 13! I bought it for Gabe since he's been showing excellent grades in school lately.

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Sighs heavily:: CO: I'm not doing anything else right now... Please, I know my priorities, and I'm working on what needs done now...

EO Ens Tana says: 
::perusing the system for starboard thrusters one and two and sees a strange string of commands:: *FCO*: Tana to Knight. Sir, did you receive my last message?

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
*EO*:  I'm certainly capable of knowing what I'm doing up here.  I suggest you investigate further.

ACTION: The thrusters go back online, and there is signs of heavy ODN usage again on the OPS's console.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
::looks for Ivanova then finds her:: CIV: Ms Ivanova, is there a problem with the chair that was provided to you?

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Takes another step towards Farson, not hiding his growing anger. :: Farson:  Watch your tone Lieutenant, I didn’t ask you why you bought it, I asked you where!  What shop, what vendor?

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
OPS: I understand

Augur #1 says: 
@MO: No, please...they're all dead...uhhmmm..... ::swoons and falls over on the floor::

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
*EO*:  They're back online.  Nice work!

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ :: Moves quickly, just catching him before his head hits the ground::

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says: 
CO: It's lumpy? ::Nods slowly, still keeping her attention on the viewscreen:: Plus you seem to attract trouble.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ ::gently lays him down and pulls out her tricorder, scanning him.  He should not have fainted.::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
CIV: Right. Please take a chair

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says: 
CO: Can I sit in the Commander's chair then? ::Finally turns to look at the Captain's direction::

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Runs a deep scan of all navigational systems and connected sub-systems::

EO Ens Tana says: 
::hears the sting of dismissal in Knight's tone:: *FCO*: Yes sir. Could you call Lieutenant Pandora's attention for me? I need to confirm something with him.

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
*EO*:  Sure thing.

EO Ens Tana says: 
::calls over his shoulder, sending an engineering team to the primary and secondary computer control centres::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ No... this is not right... :: Pulls out a hypo, makes the correct adjustment for his metabolism and to stabilize and injects him.::

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: turns to the TO. ::  TO:  Alright, let’s talk to the his son, he seems to know more about this than his father.  Keep him confined to quarters and remove his access to the ships higher functions until we get to the bottom of this.  :: Shoots Farson a disapproving look and leaves the room, headed for the TL. ::

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
OPS:  Lt., I believe Engineering needs to speak with you.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
CIV: No, you can sit at one of the consoles. Engineering for example

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
FCO: Patch them through... I need to have a word with them anyway...

LtJG Farson says: 
XO: I bought it from a perfectly legitimate game dealer on the station. It was a new shop...I honestly don't remember the name.

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@::after a meeting with his security team, returns to the main area of the complex::

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
::redirects Engineering to OPS::

TO Ens David Goran says: 
XO: Aye sir ::stays in the room startled by Farsons sudden tone::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
::watches as her crew works together::

EO Ens Tana says: 
::hears a ping of a transferred intercom line:: *OPS* Tana to Pandora. Lieutenant. Can you confirm for me that the computer is completely out of test mode?

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ :: Sighs and relaxes as he stabilizes.  But what had gone wrong?::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
*CTO*: Gomes to Redwood

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@*CO*: Go ahead ma’am.

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
*EO*: Pandora here... As far as I know it is... But I am wondering.. All systems seem to show a sudden increase of memory usage... Any idea what might be causing this?

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
*CO*: Knight-Sky to Captain.  I have an update and a problem.

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says: 
::Shakes her head furiously:: CO: No! Last time I set there the computer kept claiming I was messing with it. No way I'm getting yelled at by the XO again. ::Slowly raises from the floor, giving the various empty seats a quick look before settling on the empty Counselor chair. Grinning, she takes the Counselor chair and makes herself comfortable:: Nice.

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Dismisses Farsons statement, and heads for the nearest TL.  As he leaves he speaks over his shoulder. :: TO:  You can stay here and continue the questioning or we can both question the kid.  either way, Were going to need to find out exactly where that game came from, in case they used Mr. Farson here as a patsy.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
*CTO*: How is the situation on the surface?

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Heads down the corridor and into the TL. :: TL:  Deck 3

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
CIV: Works very well. Compile the reports from all the departments

EO Ens Tana says: 
::knows he won't find his answer in Engineering and leaves that for the warp core people, preferring to be out amongst the systems anyway:: *OPS*: I'm not certain, sir. But I may have identified a related problem if nothing else. Commander Knight problems with the helm appear to be because he's not the only one flying the ship.

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@*CO*: Doctor Knight-Sky is still with the Augur, accompanied by a security officer. Apart from that, the investigation continues. I'll keep you informed of any updates. ::walks to the main entrance::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
::pushes another button::*MO*: Yes Dr?

EO Ens Tana says: 
*OPS*: That is to say, the computer is also sending commands to the RCS thrusters contrary to his own. And nothing that falls inside the minor fly-by-wire corrections.

LtJG Farson says: 
::sighs audibly and shakes his head, amazed how suspicious the XO is, almost frightened that a Bajoran can be so harsh::

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Frowns:: *EO*: Come again? Are we talking internal or external security breach?

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
::pushes another button::*CTO*: Thank you. Gomes out

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
::overhears the communication and looks toward OPS::

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says: 
CO: What reports, Captain? The computer currently recognizes.. ::Pulls out her PADD, taking a quick look at one of the programs:: 546 different types of reports, not including the TPS report.

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@::takes in a deep breath and walks out of the main complex, heading towards the group of demonstrators::

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Turns around in his chair:: CO: Captain... We have a serious problem here.... ::Puts the com-line on speakers for all to hear on the bridge::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
OPS: With the thrusters?

Augur #1 says: 
@::seems to shift and stir slightly, regaining consciousness::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ *CO*: I performed simple hypnosis on one of the Augurs and almost lost him.  As he approached the time where they said they had been... attacks is the best word I can come up with, his brain chemistry went into overdrive.  Some sort of defensive mechanism that almost took him into a coma.  I have him stabilized at the moment.

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
CO: With the ship...

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Steps off the TL and heads down the corridor to the security team, then enters the room.  Looks around for the two boys. ::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
*MO* To your best assessment, do you believe there is any way of retrieving exactly what they saw before this attack?

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
OPS: Please elaborate

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@::walks up to the protestors, with a polite smile and tries to single out the leader::

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Puts a finger to his lips:: CO: I put the line with engineering on speakers.. You may want to listen in on that...

EO Ens Tana says: 
::on the run down to the primary computer control centre when he hears the commander's voice ask the loaded question:: *CO*: I believe I can elaborate ma'am. ::talking between breaths as he runs down the corridor::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@*CO*: If he will let me, I will need to do a mind meld.  However, I do have some information now.  It makes me wonder if the horror of what they saw was what 'shut them down' so to speak.  The Pathfinders were involved, along with mass destruction and death.

ACTION: The protestors outside the Magii building seem to be keeping reasonably civilized behaviour, and the CTO is able to find the robed leader fairly easily, who is standing upon a raised platform in front of his fellow demonstrators.

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@ Demonstrator: Excuse me. ::clears his throat::

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Searches the room for the two boys. :;

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
*MO*: Do what you can to gather more information. Then report to the ship with your findings. We are having problems with the computer as well and I fear they may be connected

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
Andrew:  Andrew Farson?

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
*EO* Please proceed

DemLeader says: 
@::ceases his chanting and turns to curious officer, smiling at him:: CTO: You've come to join us? You are more than welcome, my friend.

TO Ens David Goran says: 
::Leaves Farsons room under guard and goes to the nearest Turbolift::

EO Ens Tana says: 
*CO/OPS/Bridge*: The subprocessors we were dealing with on the suspected decks appeared clear. We really started with them because we didn't want to think about what was really compromised. But it appears the main computer is compromised in some fashion. The subprocessors don't handle the fly-by-wire so something or someone has infiltrated the central computers. And it isn't something we can fix on the fly.

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
Andrew:  I need to ask you a few questions son.

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@ DemLeader: If I could have a word with you?

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
CIV: That’s what I mean, organize them in a readable fashion

TO Ens David Goran says: 
Turbolift: Bridge

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Frowns:: *EO*: That doesn't answer my question though... Are our immediate threats internal or external?

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
*EO* What if you switch to the backup computer core?

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says: 
CO: Which ones, Captain? All of them? Some of them are only due once every five years..

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ *CO*: I do not want to wake the augur just now.  I do need to stay and monitor his condition.  After he wakes, I can put the proposal to him.  But I believe at best we will only get a more vivid picture or what the future holds here.  Oh... I was also given some more numbers I have no idea what they mean.

EO Ens Tana says: 
::finally bursts into the computer control centre and is able to tell immediately, despite identical gold shirts, who are the operations crew and who are the engineers by their respective targets of attention: screens or equipment::

ACTION: FCO's console reads a slow shutdown of the impulse engines.

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
CO:  I'm losing impulse engines!

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
*MO* What are they? Maybe the computer can find a pattern

EO Ens Tana says: 
::looking up at the massive banks of isolinear matrices:: *CO*: Ma'am, we have no reason to believe that hasn't been similarly compromised.

TO Ens David Goran says: 
::arrives at the bridge and exits the turbo lift:: CO: Sir can I be of any assistance here?

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
*EO*:  Impulse engines are shutting down.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
*EO*: What happens if we switch it down altogether=

DemLeader says: 
@CTO: By all means. ::turns and nods to his fellows and walks with the CTO:: Come, let us walk and talk.

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@ ::smiles:: DemLeader: Let me first commend you on such a peaceful and organised demonstration; you have thus saved my security teams any problems.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
FCO: But we’re still stopped correct?

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
FCO: try to lock the engines; if we can't use them, then no one else should either

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Glances at the captain:: CO: Sir.. It would mean we lose all system activity... We depend on computer activity...

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
CO:  Standard orbit Captain.  Aye.  ::begins locking down the engines::

DemLeader says: 
@CTO: But...there is a problem? We wish no conflicts with Starfleet, you understand?

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ *CO*: From the child, if you remember, I have the numbers 12, 48, 480.  From the Augur we add 14, 40, 28 and 315.  It is the last number he gave that he said... they're all dead.

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
CO:  Lockdown controls are not responding.

TO Ens David Goran says: 
::Stands at the tactical station regardless ready to assist::

EO Ens Tana says: 
*CO*: Then the ship is dead in the water. The subprocessors will keep her going. But we can't even run the warp core without at least one of the main computers up. But unless the techs missed something in our deck scans...  ::isn't prepared to believe that:: ...then the internal systems should remain functional while we find who did this.

EO Ens Tana says: 
*CO*: Or call for a tow.

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@DemLeader: I am glad to hear that. I also hope your demonstration stays peaceful and I am not forced to stop it. You should be aware that there are Starfleet officers on site.

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says: 
::Shrugs at the Captain's lack of response, figuring she has more important matters to busy herself than to boss her around at the moment. Interestedly, she watches the various officers on the bridge, trying to figure the one that looked the least busy or at least the friendliest looking one. Finding something she raises from her seat, beginning to navigate her way to her immediate destination::

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
OPS:  If we take helm control offline, you think we will be able to bring them back up again?

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
*EO*/FCO/OPS: Work together, find the source of this. The priority is to keep the ship

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
*MO*: I will run those through the computer myself. If by any chance you lose contact with us, proceed with your investigations

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Hears an alarm sound on his screen and takes a quick look:: CO: I have another major information leak.. Direction again starbase 13...

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@*CO*: Understood.

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
CO: Recommend to close all external communication lines...

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ ~~~~FCO: Should we lose contact?  Everything alright up there?~~~~

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
OPS: Except from the bridge. Do it

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
OPS: Contact the starbase, tell them our situation and ask them to investigate

Augur #1 says: 
@::begins to awaken and rise:: MO: Doctor?

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ :: Looks down and helps the man up::  Augur: You fainted.  What do you remember?

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
*EO*: We have a new information leak. Look for the source

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says: 
::Passing the Captain's chair, she drops a steaming cup on the Captain's armrest before continuing on her way::

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Shakes head:: CO: We need to take the array offline... It's the only way to prevent this.. They already got around my additional security, so they can get around bridge lockout too...

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
~~~MO:  Don't worry about us up here.....we're trying to correct things.  Just make sure you're focused on what you need to do.  I don't want anything happening to you.~~~

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
CIV: Finally, thank you

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
OPS: Do it for now

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says: 
CO: Thank you for what? I didn't do anything. ::Continues on her original course::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ ~~~~ FCO: For now I am fine... as long as the augurs words do not come true while we are about.~~~~

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
OPS: But I still need a communications channel to the starbase. Perhaps through the planet

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Nods:: CO: It means losing contact with... Anyone not on the ship...

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@::walks alongside the DemLeader, hands behind his own back:: DemLeader: I am curious as to what it is exactly you are demonstrating for?

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
CO:  Captain, I'm always in constant communication with Sierra if need be.

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Prepares to take the array offline::

EO Ens Tana says: 
::still hearing the criss-crossing conversations coming from the bridge on his open channel:: *CO*: Commander Gomes, ma'am. I think we need to shut down the computers. We can't find the problem with them running at full-tilt like this.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
OPS: I understand. Do it

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
*CO* Keep life support

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
OPS: Warn our team we will be out of reach

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Activates the sequence to take the array offline:: CO: Working... And hang on a moment.... *EO*: Tana, wait a moment with that, perhaps when the communications array is offline, the system low will be reduced enough to keep running...

DemLeader says: 
@CTO: Come, let us speak away from the crowd, and we can discuss this in better detail. ::gestures to an open area beyond the demonstrations::

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
CO: Too late now, captain... The array is shutting down...

ACTION: The impulse engines reactivate spontaneously. All is as it was before the malfunctions.

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@ ::acknowledges and takes the lead of the DemLeader::

EO Ens Tana says: 
::passes the order on to Lieutenant Pandora's man to bring the emergency subprocs in the life support bay online:: *OPS*: Standing by, Lieutenant.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
FCO: If you can use your link, warn Dr Knight-Sky

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
::nods::  ~~~MO:  Sierra, we will be temporarily unable to communicate with you via the comm channel.  You know how to reach me.~~~

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
CO:  Impulse engines are back online.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ ~~~~ FCO: Aye... you be safe too.~~~~

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
::takes a relieved sigh:: OPS/FCO/*EO*: Thank you

Augur #1 says: 
@MO: I...thought we had begun your....hypnosis you called it? Why am I on the floor? ::looks around, confused::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ :: Holds back a sigh::  Augur: Would you object to a mind meld...
