U.S.S. Seleya  - Stardate 9811.29

Mission Orders: 

Cortez Station, a scientific research station, has not responded to
communications for the past two days; the U.S.S. Seleya is ordered to
investigate the situation and take action as necessary.

The researchers at Cortez are currently involved in several highly sensitive
and classified projects, ranging from genetics research to weapons
development. Because of the sensitive nature of these projects, specific
information regarding the projects will be provided on a “need to know”
basis by Starfleet Command, should the progress of your investigation
indicate the need.

Grey: aye..... ::sits up::

XO_Pang says:
*CSO* Start them now please

CEO_Davis says:
XO: I'm still attempting to locate the ship that Doctor Starr had been on.  I'm not having much luck though...

Host CO_Peters says:
*XO*:  Noted.

CSO_VIPER says:
*Bridge*: AYE AYE!

Host CO_Peters says:
::Stands and exits the RR:

FCO_Mallory says:
::arrives on bridge and takes over from his junior::

Host CO_Peters says:
::Sits in his chair::

XO_Pang says:
CO: Nothing to report Sir ... the majority of heads say all ok .... Viper initiating scans of Cortez now

Host CO_Peters says:
XO: Excellent.

XO_Pang says:
CEO: I have heard good reports of him ....

CEO_Davis says:
::switches scan to his office and brings up what information the ship's computer has on the station::

CSO_VIPER says:
*XO*: Scans indicate no lifesigns but one of the science labs are showing power.

CEO_Davis says:
::nods::

FCO_Mallory says:
::sits in his  chair::

CMO_Starr says:
CO: With your permission, I have all the bio suits prepared and ready in shuttle bay 3.  I have phasers if needed.  May I leave and check on all the equipment?

XO_Pang says:
*CSO* Acknowledged .... no lifesigns?

CEO_Davis says:
XO: He's as good as they come.

XO_Pang says:
CO: SCI report no lifesigns ... but power on the station .... sounds bad

CSO_VIPER says:
*XO*: None!

CTOCruzer says:
::Scans area for any ships::

FCO_Mallory says:
::adjusts the awful course, making it MUCH quicker::

Host CO_Peters says:
XO:  Hmmm, I agree

XO_Pang says:
*CSO* Thank you .... can you determine corpses?  if so ... how many?

CMO_Starr says:
::waiting for permission to leave::

Host CO_Peters says:
Starr:  Get your team to TR3.  Be ready to transport as soon as we arrive.  Take whatever precautions you feel fit.  I'll keep you posted as to scanner information

CEO_Davis says:
::attempts to scan the power source of the station::

EO_Bolitho says:
*CEO* Bolitho to Davies

CMO_Starr says:
CO; aye Sir. CEO, CTO, CSO you are with me.  Let's move it ::grins::::

CEO_Davis says:
*EO*: Go ahead.

CSO_VIPER says:
*XO*: I am unable to pinpoint the number of corpses.

XO_Pang says:
::watches a bit enviously as Starr gathers her team ready to leave::

CEO_Davis says:
CMO: Aye, sir.

Host CO_Peters says:
::Glances at Kay Lee, with a "I know" look::

EO_Bolitho says:
*CEO* Sir did you get my PADD on the replicator and waste management roster?

XO_Pang says:
*CSO* Thanks .... you should be joining the AT in TR3 .... soonest ... we will continue scans from the bridge

CEO_Davis says:
::gets up out of seat, switching the aft console to its normal low power mode::

CEO_Davis says:
*EO*: Not yet, Ensign.  I'll have a look at it when I return.

XO_Pang says:
CO: I will man Science 1 on the bridge since Viper is with the AT

Host CO_Peters says:
XO:  Good

XO_Pang says:
::gets up and walks over to SCI station 1::

CMO_Starr says:
::walks to the TL::TL: Shuttle bay 3.

EO_Bolitho says:
*CEO* aye Sir, good luck Bolitho out

CEO_Davis says:
::follows Starr::

Host CO_Peters says:
XO:  The room with the power seems the most sensible place to send the AT.  Concentrate scans on that area.

CSO_VIPER says:
*CMO*: Where would you like me to meet you?

XO_Pang says:
CO:  Perhaps Bolitho could take the engineering bridge station ... good experience?

CMO_Starr says:
*CTO/CSO*: Report to shuttle bay 3 for AT duty.

XO_Pang says:
CO: Aye Sir

CEO_Davis says:
*EO*: Oh, Neil...you're in command until I return; of engineering, that is.

XO_Pang says:
::initiates wide variable scan patterns trying to ascertain what might have caused this::

CSO_VIPER says:
::walks to TL::

CTOCruzer says:
::Enter TL:: TL Shuttle Bay 2

CSO_VIPER says:
TL: Deck 13

EO_Bolitho says:
*CEO* in command Sir!!!, Aye Sir I’ll try keep things together

CEO_Davis says:
::smiles::

CEO_Davis says:
*EO*: Acknowledged.  Davis out.

CSO_VIPER says:
::walks into SB3::

Cns_Moore says:
::in quarters, annoyed at being confined because he's feeling fine::

XO_Pang says:
::overhears the EO's comm .... thinks Bolitho sounds like CEO Scott::

CSO_VIPER says:
::finds no one::

Host CO_Peters says:
FCO:  ETA to transporter range?

XO_Pang says:
::concentrating on multiple scans::

CMO_Starr says:
::walks into SB 3::

Cns_Moore says:
*XO* Will you be needing my services, Sir?

CSO_VIPER says:
CMO: Hello

FCO_Mallory says:
CO: three minutes sir

CEO_Davis says:
::continues to follow Doctor Starr::

Host CO_Peters says:
*Starr*:  Science indicates no need for a shuttle.  Use the transporters, time is critical

CMO_Starr says:
CSO: Good to see you.  Please put on the bio suit.

XO_Pang says:
CO:  Are we sure shuttle is best?  scans show no atmospheric or ion problems around?

XO_Pang says:
::grins as she realises the CO, as usual, was ahead of her::

CMO_Starr says:
*CO*: Aye Sir.  Well you all heard, gather up the rest of the gear and put on your suits.

CSO_VIPER says:
::walks over to closet, opens , pulls out bio suit and puts it on::

Host CO_Peters says:
XO:  I know Kay Lee, I've just informed Commander Starr

CEO_Davis says:
CMO: Aye, sir.

XO_Pang says:
CO: Ooops :)

CSO_VIPER says:
::hands bio suit to CMO::  Here you go!

CEO_Davis says:
::quickly steps over to the locker, picking out a bio-suit and an engineering repair kit just in case;:

CMO_Starr says:
::looking for CTO and wonders where he is::

Cns_Moore says:
*XO* Will you be needing my help, Sir?

Host CO_Peters says:
FCO:  Thank you

CMO_Starr says:
*CO*: sir, CTO isn't here yet.  Anything on science scans for biohazardous materials in the air?

XO_Pang says:
*Counsellor*  You are always welcome on the bridge ... you could assist at TAC if you wish?

FCO_Mallory says:
::nods::

Host CO_Peters says:
XO:  What have we got on that room?

EO_Bolitho says:
::heads for the CEO's office::

CMO_Starr says:
::watches as the other two don their suits::

XO_Pang says:
CO: Not much .... just power from one lab .... we will have to wait for the AT to get a bit closer I think

Cns_Moore says:
*XO* Do you know if I have been released to normal duty. I was unable to reach the CMO before she left Sickbay

XO_Pang says:
*CNS* Just get here if you wish ... or not ... your choice ::closes comm::

CEO_Davis says:
::steps into suit::

CTOCruzer says:
::Enters Shuttle bay and suits up::

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  The ship arrives at Cortez station

XO_Pang says:
CO: should be within beaming range?

EO_Bolitho says:
::sits comfortably in the CEO's chair::

CMO_Starr says:
*CO*: Sir, anything on science scans?

FCO_Mallory says:
CO: sir, close as we'll ever be!

Host CO_Peters says:
OPS:  Put the station on screen

Cns_Moore says:
*XO* Very well...on my way Commander

XO_Pang says:
::monitoring everything she can think of and not getting much information::

OPS_Blace says:
CO: Permission to initiate a tachyon beam scan...just to be on the safe side.

OPS_Blace says:
::puts station on screen::

CSO_VIPER says:
CMO: What are our orders?

Host CO_Peters says:
*Starr*:  Nothing unusual.  You are cleared for transport.  We'll put you in the room with power

Host CO_Peters says:
OPS:  Of course

Host Cheryl says:
Scans indicate an apparently lifeless station, no clues besides what the crew already knows

CMO_Starr says:
*CO*: Aye Sir.

Cns_Moore says:
::gets up and begins to put on his uniform::

Angelique says:
CNS: Craig you staying here you need rest. ::arms crossed::

CMO_Starr says:
AT: On the pad, we are being transported to the only room with power on.

OPS_Blace says:
::Nods and initiates the beam::

XO_Pang says:
CO: If they were here ... they are dead .... who knows why .... my scans are not telling me enough!

CSO_VIPER says:
::steps onto pad::

Host Cheryl says:
Lifeless but for power signatures from one lab

Cns_Moore says:
Angelique: I'm fine It was nothing I can go to work I promise; if I feel weak I'll come back OK?

CEO_Davis says:
::steps onto pad, making sure he has the engineering kit with him::

CMO_Starr says:
*CO*: Sir, AT ready, at your command.

Host CO_Peters says:
XO:  Interference?

Host CO_Peters says:
OPS:  Beam the AT to the station

XO_Pang says:
CO: None that I can detect

Host CO_Peters says:
XO:  Keep working on it.  The crew must be around somewhere

Angelique says:
CNS:  I’m not happy about it, but I can't stop the captain and XO.  but come back in one piece ok?

Host CO_Peters says:
XO:  Alive or otherwise

OPS_Blace says:
CO: The tachyon beam showed no cloaked ships in the area...beaming now. ::Initiates the transporters::

EO_Bolitho says:
::leaves the office, heads for the master system display::

XO_Pang says:
CO: If they are there they are dead ....

Host CO_Peters says:
OPS:  Good

CMO_Starr says:
@::materialises on the station::

CMO_Starr says:
@::waits for the rest of the team to appear::

CEO_Davis says:
@::materialises, immediately opening his kit and pulling out a tricorder::

XO_Pang says:
::attempting to analyse the power source in the lab ... thinks she needs some help::

CSO_VIPER says:
@::materialises::

CTOCruzer says:
@::materialises on the station::

CMO_Starr says:
@CEO: Can you detect where the power is coming from?

Cns_Moore says:
::finishes putting on his uniform:: Angelique: I’ll be on the bridge. I'll be fine I'm not planning on taking Away Team duty for a bit ::pecks A on the cheek and leaves his quarters::

CSO_VIPER says:
@::pulls out tricorder::

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  The AT materialises in a dark room....

XO_Pang says:
*EO Bolitho*  Please can you add anything to the info on the power source in the lab?

CEO_Davis says:
@CMO: Scanning...

CMO_Starr says:
@::turns on portable light::

CEO_Davis says:
@::moves the tricorder from left to right, noticing a beeping sound as it crosses the corner of the room::

Cns_Moore says:
::walks to TL:: TL: Deck 1 - Bridge

CTOCruzer says:
@:pulls out light and looks around::

EO_Bolitho says:
*XO* not at the moment Sir ::continuing scans::

CSO_VIPER says:
@::scanning::

XO_Pang says:
::wonders if the CNS actually wants to be on the bridge or whether he should stay on sick leave - he takes so long getting anywhere::

CEO_Davis says:
@CMO: It looks like this room has its own dedicated power source.

Angelique says:
:: crosses arms frustrated,  but accepts it and goes to al least trying to straighten the quarters,  with Silvers 'help'::

XO_Pang says:
OPS: You have the AT pinpointed ... we may have to lift them out in a hurry?

Cns_Moore says:
::Arrives on the bridge, he thinks he feels better than he actually is::

CEO_Davis says:
@::approaches the power source, trying to  get more detailed scans on it::

CMO_Starr says:
@ALL: Well lets see if we can find anyone.  Everyone be extremely careful.  I don't want any torn suits.

Host CO_Peters says:
::Acknowledges the cns::

OPS_Blace says:
XO: Aye ma'am. My finger is ready at the order.

CTOCruzer says:
@::Looks over sensor logs::

CMO_Starr says:
@CTO: You and CSO go that way ::points:: but keep in constant communication.

Cns_Moore says:
CO: Anything I can do to help, Sir?

Host CO_Peters says:
*Starr*:  Report commander

CEO_Davis says:
@::bends down carefully, scanning around the source to see how it is connected with the rest of the room's power grid::

Host CO_Peters says:
Cns:  We're a bit short at tactical today.  Can you fill in there please

XO_Pang says:
OPS: Good ... maintain maximum lock

CSO_VIPER says:
@CTO: Lets go.

CMO_Starr says:
@COM: CO: Sir, the room is dark and we are splitting into two teams.  We haven't found anyone yet Sir.

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  Davis accidentally trips a circuit, and lights/full power to the room come up

CTOCruzer says:
@CSO: You lead

Host CO_Peters says:
*Starr*:  What is the atmosphere like?  Breathable?

OPS_Blace says:
XO: It appears that the power in the Science Lab is not connected to the main power plant on the station.

XO_Pang says:
*EO* Anything on that power source?

CSO_VIPER says:
@CTO: OK

CEO_Davis says:
@::jerks away from the source as the lights go on::

Cns_Moore says:
CO: Aye sir ::moves to TAC 1, a station he's never manned before::

XO_Pang says:
OPS:  Strange ... anything else?

OPS_Blace says:
XO: Not at the moment.

CMO_Starr says:
@COM: CO: sir, it appears so, wait a minute, the lights have just come on.

CEO_Davis says:
@::nods::

EO_Bolitho says:
*XO* no change ma’am, I am getting some strange readings

XO_Pang says:
CNS: Just scan for anything out there .... ships .... anything ....

CMO_Starr says:
@CEO: You all right Davis?

Host CO_Peters says:
*Starr*: Be careful Commander.  Keep an open comm channel

CSO_VIPER says:
@CTO: Which way do you want to go, left or right?

CMO_Starr says:
@COM: CO: Aye Sir.

CEO_Davis says:
@CMO: The tricorder scan triggered a circuit...this is definitely a small, low-level power generator. It looks like it is connected to this room only from the power grid readings.

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  The AT observes a very large mechanical device in the centre of the room, glowing lights, pulsating, humming......

Cns_Moore says:
XO: Nothing on the scanners except the research station::

CTOCruzer says:
@CSO: Try left

XO_Pang says:
CO: I am getting weird information here ... it seems life-support is ok where the team is - but nowhere else

CEO_Davis says:
@CMO: Yes, sir.  I'm fine.

CSO_VIPER says:
@CTO: Left it is!

EO_Bolitho says:
*XO* it look like power had been turned on ma’am , probably the AT

FCO_Mallory says:
::looks over at Blace:: Blace: uplinking with the station computer would get life support, scanners, what else up?.....

CMO_Starr says:
@CEO: Davis, what is that? ::points::

Host CO_Peters says:
XO:  Can you determine why the power has be severed to the station.

XO_Pang says:
*EO* I read that too .... can you isolate the source?

XO_Pang says:
CO: Working on it

CSO_VIPER says:
@::walks down corridor::

Host CO_Peters says:
OPS:  Try accessing the stations computer core.  Lets see if we can get a hold of their logs

CEO_Davis says:
@::turns and sees the object in the centre of the room, getting up and walking over to it with tricorder in hand::

EO_Bolitho says:
*XO* working on that now ma’am

OPS_Blace says:
FCO: I can't do that because the rest of the station is "turned off"

CMO_Starr says:
@::draws phaser just in case::

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  Seleya's lock on the AT starts to waver.....

OPS_Blace says:
CO: Aye sir...accessing...

Cns_Moore says:
OPS: How are you doing, Rog?

CMO_Starr says:
@CTO: Anything down your direction?

OPS_Blace says:
CO: Sir, I'm almost loosing the lock on the AT>

CEO_Davis says:
@CMO: Unknown...it's emitting very low level graviton emissions though...

Host CO_Peters says:
OPS:  Do what you can to strengthen it.

XO_Pang says:
CO:  I have a bad feeling about this .... that power source is crucial ... and I cannot work out what it is

CSO_VIPER says:
@CTO: Why don't we head to the bridge?

XO_Pang says:
CO:: SCI scanners out!  Yellow alert?

OPS_Blace says:
CO: Sir, I have a log uplink.

CMO_Starr says:
@COM: CO: Sir, it seems we have activated something. Do you still have a reading on us?

CTOCruzer says:
@CMO: Nothing so far

EO_Bolitho says:
*XO* we have picked up some strange power reading, we are losing the transporter lock on the AT

XO_Pang says:
*shipwide* Yellow alert

Host CO_Peters says:
*Starr*:  what's happening over there.  Scanners have gone wild and we are losing our lock on you?

OPS_Blace says:
::Trying to strengthen the lock on the AT::

XO_Pang (Alert.wav)

Cns_Moore says:
XO: I'm getting some really weird readings over here

CTOCruzer says:
@CSO: Sure

Host CO_Peters says:
OPS:  Can you read it?

OPS_Blace says:
CO: Yes sir.

XO_Pang says:
CNS: I am too .... try to phase out the interference .... something is causing this!

CMO_Starr says:
@CTO: Be careful. We have triggered something here and you need to stay in constant contact. Understood?

EO_Bolitho says:
::rerouting power from non essential systems to increase power to transporters::

CEO_Davis says:
@CMO: I'm picking up an increase in graviton emissions.  It looks like it's feeding these emissions somewhere else...could be a weapon of some sort.

CSO_VIPER says:
@::walks to TL::

FCO_Mallory says:
::walks over to sci2::

XO_Pang says:
CO: I think we should get the AT back .... and quickly ...

CSO_VIPER says:
@::enters TL::

CTOCruzer says:
@CMO: Sure

XO_Pang says:
*EO* Check status of transporters please!

OPS_Blace says:
XO, CO: Agreed sir.

CMO_Starr says:
@CEO: Chief, can you shut it down?

Host CO_Peters says:
XO:  Agreed

EO_Bolitho says:
*XO* aye ma’am

XO_Pang says:
OPS: Beam them back NOW

Host CO_Peters says:
OPS:  Can you get them back?  ::He asks expecting the answer no::

CSO_VIPER says:
@CTO: Coming?

CMO_Starr says:
@CEO: Or can you tell what it is by any chance?

OPS_Blace says:
::Beaming the AT back::

Host CO_Peters says:
OPS:  Put the log on screen

EO_Bolitho says:
::runs diagnostic scan on Transporter::

OPS_Blace says:
CO: On screen sir.

CEO_Davis says:
@::places tricorder on the device and begins working at the console:: 

CTOCruzer says:
@CSO: right behind you

Cns_Moore says:
XO: It doesn't seem to be working

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  Interference from the device prevents beaming::

CEO_Davis says:
@CMO: I'm trying to cut any incoming power...

CSO_VIPER says:
@TL: Bridge.

CMO_Starr says:
@CSO: any life signs or bodies yet?

XO_Pang says:
::feels she knew this was coming::

Host CO_Peters says:
::How did I know::

OPS_Blace says:
CO: Sir, the device inside that room is preventing me from beaming.

CMO_Starr says:
@CEO: good work Chief, I know you will do your best.

Cns_Moore says:
XO: Maybe SFC can enlighten us on what this device may be

XO_Pang says:
*EO*  Transporters did not work .... can you give me anything on the power source on the station?

Host CO_Peters says:
XO:  Kay Lee, see what you can do to clean up the transporter lock.

FCO_Mallory says:
::trying every scan he knows::

XO_Pang says:
CNS: Good ....

EO_Bolitho says:
*XO*  getting onto that now ma’am

CSO_VIPER says:
@*CMO*: None!

CMO_Starr says:
@COM: CO: sir , can you hear me?

XO_Pang says:
CO: We need more info on the research here .... can we get it from SF?

Host Cheryl says:
<Dr. Evans>  ::looking frantic, appearing on viewscreen::  The experiment took a turn we didn't expect............

CMO_Starr says:
@CEO: Whatever that thing is, it has cut off our communications Davis.

CEO_Davis says:
@::watches as a display of the power intake is shown; he tries to cut these links and send the power back into its grid from outside the "object"::

Host CO_Peters says:
*Starr*:  Can you shut that device down?  Interference is stopping us from beaming you out.

CEO_Davis says:
@::nods::

CSO_VIPER says:
@::exits TL onto bridge::

XO_Pang says:
CO:: No way I can clean it up ... it is something new .... Starfleet have not been to open with us here

CEO_Davis says:
@CMO: The graviton emissions are probably to blame for that.  If we move far enough away from the object, we should be able to get a clear channel open.

CMO_Starr says:
@CTO/CSO: Get back here ASAP.  On the double!!!

Host CO_Peters says:
OPS:  Is that all that was in the log?

Host Cheryl says:
<Dr Evans>  It has taken control.....  of all our systems ::sputters and fades::

CSO_VIPER says:
@CTO: Go through the TAC logs to see if you can find anything!

CEO_Davis says:
@::watches as power continues to flow to the object::

CSO_VIPER says:
@CTO: Or not!

OPS_Blace says:
CO: No sir, there is more... ::getting more::

XO_Pang says:
CO: I recommend we contain that log .... there could be a virus in it too!

CTOCruzer says:
@CMO: On our way

CEO_Davis says:
@CMO: I cannot shut d own just the object.  I might be able to deactivate the small generator, but that would kill all power...such as the lights.

Host CO_Peters says:
XO:  Do it.

XO_Pang says:
::locks out the log from Seleya's main systems - quickly::

XO_Pang says:

XO_Pang says:
CO: Done ....

Host Cheryl says:
@<Object>  ::surges, and starts making noises::

Cns_Moore says:

FCO: Safety first .... we get the AT back before trying it!

CEO_Davis says:
@CMO: The starboard side of the station is starting to emit some sort of antigraviton particle, Doctor Starr.  

EO_Bolitho says:
*XO* I believe that the power reading I am picking up is consists entirely of pro- neutrons?

Host CO_Peters says:
::Walks behind the desk and taps a few buttons on the terminal::

CSO_VIPER says:
@CTO: What’s going on down there?

FCO_Mallory says:
XO: IM gonna try to cut main power from that section....

XO_Pang says:
::walks back to the XO chair and crosslinks SCI1 console in::

CEO_Davis says:
@::shakes head in frustration::

Host CO_Peters says:
::Waits for the transmission from Starfleet to be made::

XO_Pang says:
FCO: OK - but care please .... do not endanger the AT

CMO_Starr says:
@CEO: When the others arrive, we will go look at it.

FCO_Mallory says:
XO: I know.... just give me a moment...

XO_Pang says:
*COM*AT:  Status?

CEO_Davis says:
@CMO: If the Seleya hits those antigravitons, it could create a nasty explosion...

Host Cheryl says:
@<Object>  ::continues to pulsate, growing stronger::

CMO_Starr says:
@::waiting impatiently, afraid for the other members of her AT::

OPS_Blace says:
XO: My transport through tractor beam idea will not work through other  materials, but perhaps is I could....let me see. ::Gets to work on an idea::

Cns_Moore says:
::wonders what SFC will reveal::

CSO_VIPER says:
@::Enters SciLab !::

Host CO_Peters says:
COM: SFC:  I need to speak to someone who knows about Cortez station

CMO_Starr says:
@CEO: Is it my imagination or is that thing pulsing stronger?

XO_Pang says:
OPS: keep it on the back burner

CEO_Davis says:
@::steps away from the object and goes back to the generator, noticing that it is generating great amounts of power than it had been just a few minutes ago::

FCO_Mallory says:
::tapping like mad, trying to get a stable frequency::

CSO_VIPER says:
@CMO: What is it?

EO_Bolitho says:
*XO*  there are some rumours of a sentient weapon which can fire a pro neutron beam which can utterly destroy  any shielding we know?

OPS_Blace says:
XO: Yes ma'am.

XO_Pang says:
*COM AT:* Report status please!

Cns_Moore says:
::Thinks: Wow another Mike Edwards::

CEO_Davis says:
@CMO: It is.  The energy output has increased 15% in the last four minutes.

CMO_Starr says:
@::hears nothing but static from her comm badge::

XO_Pang says:
*EO* Could you find anything which might disable such a weapon?

CEO_Davis says:
@CMO: With your permission, I'd like to disable this generator, Doctor.  

CMO_Starr says:
@CEO: Lets get out of here, we will meet up with the others.  No, Davis, don't touch it, we don't know what it will do.

CEO_Davis says:
@CMO: Aye, sir.

EO_Bolitho says:
*XO* It was just a rumour but the reading made me think of it I'll get back to you

OPS_Blace says:
::Thinks...thinks...thinks...::

CTOCruzer says:
@CMO: Here we are

CEO_Davis says:
@::picks tricorder up from the top of the object and waits for Starr to exit::

CMO_Starr says:
@AT: Let's move out of here to another part of the station.

Host Cheryl says:
<SFC>  *Seleya*  We've received your report.  Analysis shows that one of the weaponry projects has gone a little awry.  Disable the machine; Dr. Evans was the chief researcher.

CMO_Starr says:
@CTO: You take point.

CMO_Starr says:
@falls in behind CTO::

XO_Pang says:
*COM* AT:  Report please ....::notices the AT is in a new location ... cannot clean up the comms or beam situation - totally frustrated::

CEO_Davis says:
@::waits for the CSO to go so he can take the back of the away team::

CTOCruzer says:
@:heads down the corridor::

CSO_VIPER says:
@::follows CEO::

CEO_Davis says:
@::continues scanning the surroundings::

Host CO_Peters says:
COM: SFC:  Can you tell us more about the weapon.  There is no sign of Dr. Evans, or anyone come to that, and I have an AT over there now and I can't get them back.

CMO_Starr says:
@CTO/CEO: Can you two pinpoint any other source of energy?

XO_Pang says:
::drums fingers on chair ... worried sick for her friends::

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  There is no response from SFC; interference from the station

CSO_VIPER says:
@::Follows CMO::

Host CO_Peters says:
*OPS*:  What happened to the transmission?

CEO_Davis says:
@CMO: No, sir.  There are graviton emissions flowing through these power conduits though...

CEO_Davis says:
@::hits wall::

XO_Pang says:
*CO* Interference from the station is gradually getting worse ... suggest we back off and try again?

EO_Bolitho says:
*XO*  we could try use a particle beam made up entirely of negative electrons to shut down the build up of pro neutrons on the station

CMO_Starr says:
@::runs med scans over her team to make sure they are all ok::

CEO_Davis says:
@CMO: ...that's why we can't contact the ship.

OPS_Blace says:
*CO* I'm sorry sir...something from the THING is blocking it.

Cns_Moore says:
::Sees that the XO is distressed::

XO_Pang says:
FCO: Lay in a course to maximum beaming range .... and park us close

CMO_Starr says:
@CEO: Can we follow it like a trail?

Host CO_Peters says:
XO:  Back us off half a million KM and try and re-establish comms

FCO_Mallory says:
::walks back to helm::

CEO_Davis says:
@::shakes head::

XO_Pang says:
*CO* Ordered Sir

CEO_Davis says:
@CMO: The emissions seem to branch off about 10 meters ahead and go to the bow, starboard, and port of the station...

OPS_Blace says:
XO: Suggest that we dock with the Station. We may be able to get the AT manually.

CEO_Davis says:
@CMO: You could, but I'm not sure what they'll lead to.

CMO_Starr says:
@::breaths a silent sigh of relief, all are fine::

Cns_Moore says:
Pang: That is a danger Sir. We do not know what the device is capable of.

CMO_Starr says:
@CEO: Well chief, any recommendations?

XO_Pang says:
*EO* Try it!

Host CO_Peters says:
*XO*:  Distance from station?

OPS_Blace says:
XO, Moore: That is true.

XO_Pang says:
FCO: Answer the CO please

EO_Bolitho says:
*XO* aye ma’am

FCO_Mallory says:
CO: 5 thousand

CEO_Davis says:
@CMO: I suggest that we return to the powered room and cut off that power source.  If these tricorder readings are correct, the Seleya could be in trouble...

Host CO_Peters says:
FCO:  I ordered us back half a million.  Move it mister, I need to speak to SFC

XO_Pang says:
*CO* I believe we are where you wanted to be Sir ..::frowns at FCO::

CMO_Starr says:
CTO/CSO: Do you concur?

CEO_Davis says:
@CMO: Also, without the gravimetric interference, we might be able to contact the ship again.

CSO_VIPER says:
@CMO: Couldn't we just beam it into space?

OPS_Blace says:
XO: Perhaps if we take in a shuttle. It would lower the risk of danger to the Seleya.

Host CO_Peters says:
::Hmmmm::

FCO_Mallory says:
CO: going as fast as I can..... sir

Host CO_Peters says:
OPS:  Get me SFC back

EO_Bolitho says:
::checks with the computer to see the effect of negative electrons on the pro neutron would have::

Cns_Moore says:
OPS: And risk losing more crew?

XO_Pang says:
OPS: Just concentrate on comms for now ... but that is a thought

OPS_Blace says:
*CO* Trying sir.

FCO_Mallory says:
::goes to full impulse::

CMO_Starr says:
@CSO: How would we do that? I don't see any transporter equipment here.

Host CO_Peters says:
*XO*:  The one thing I have found out is that it is a weapon.  Inform the AT they need to be very careful with it.

OPS_Blace says:
Moore: We could put it on autopilot and have it just wait for the AT at the dock.

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  Full shields are raised around the station

CSO_VIPER says:
@CMO: The Seleya

XO_Pang says:
*COM AT:* Can you hear us?  Whatever is disturbing comms is a weapon ....

CEO_Davis says:
@CSO, CMO: It could overload the generator too, assuming there was the appropriate equipment.

EO_Bolitho says:
*XO* we may have to use the deflector dish, with the way the pro neutron build up is going we will need to hit it with large doses

XO_Pang says:
*EO* Is that possible?

Cns_Moore says:
Pang: The station has raised shields

CMO_Starr says:
@CEO: Well Chief, you are the expert here.  Show us how to help you.

XO_Pang says:
CNS: I see!  that makes it harder ...

FCO_Mallory says:
CO: now......

CMO_Starr says:
@::notices that shields have been raised around the station::

CEO_Davis says:
@::nods and turns back to the room where the weapon was::

OPS_Blace says:
*CO* Something is blocking the signal for a moment...I'll try again. Don't worry I'll get them sooner or later.

CMO_Starr says:
@AT: Looks like something is alive here, the station shields have just been raised.

XO_Pang says:
*CO* A shuttle armed with additional stuff to punch through the field might be an option ....

EO_Bolitho says:
*XO* we can only try ma’am, damn it the stations shields are up. XO I am not sure our burst will get through the shields

Host CO_Peters says:
COM: SFC:  I need information on this weapon.  I have people on the station.

XO_Pang says:
*EO* Could it work if put into a shuttle?

OPS_Blace says:
*CO* Got it.

Host CO_Peters says:
*XO*: Stand by

CEO_Davis says:
@::walks into room and sets down beside the generator, scanning it again for a moment to familiarise himself with it::

XO_Pang says:
::further analysis says it will not work ... frowns::

EO_Bolitho says:
*XO* with the shields up no ma’am

CMO_Starr says:
@CEO: What can we do to help you Chief?

XO_Pang says:
*EO* Then we need something else to get through those shields.... Work on it

CMO_Starr says:
CSO: See if there is a console in this room that can lower the shields.

Cns_Moore says:
XO: We are dealing with a "smart" weapon

OPS_Blace says:
XO: Perhaps this thing is a Sentient being.

EO_Bolitho says:
*XO* aye ma’am

Host Cheryl says:
<SFC>  *Peters*  It was intended to be a defensive weapon, it seems to have gone haywire.....  Brainchild of Evans......"  ::static::  Has it taken offensive action?

CEO_Davis says:
@CMO: Just monitor whatever that thing is in the middle of the room to see its power levels, sir.  Just as a reassurance.

CSO_VIPER says:
@CMO: Ok

CTOCruzer says:
@CMO: Permission to go the bridge; and to disable the shields

XO_Pang says:
CSN: Obviously.... But can you see anything in the TAC reserves that might get the AT out?

CMO_Starr says:
@CTO: Look for an access panel in here first.

CEO_Davis says:
@::opens engineering kit and pulls out laser cutter, then turns to the console beside the generator and opens it::

Host CO_Peters says:
COM: SFC: Unknown, we have lost contact with the AT.  My SCI and Eng. could use the design schematics

CSO_VIPER says:
@::looks for console::

CMO_Starr says:
@CEO: Monitoring now Chief.  CSO, see what the rest of this equipment in here is for.

Host Cheryl says:
<SFC>  Downloading schematics to you now.....

Host CO_Peters says:
::At last::

CMO_Starr says:
@::monitors the object in the middle of the room::

Cns_Moore says:
Pang: Kay Lee, it's doubtful with the shields up, plus we don't know what else the device can try but then again this is my first stint at Tactical

CTOCruzer says:
@::pulls out access panel::

CEO_Davis says:
@::looks around the various circuitry, not wanting to cut an EPS tap::

OPS_Blace says:
*CO* Received schematics.

XO_Pang says:
::notices incoming transmission to ready room ... hopes it will help whatever it is::

Host CO_Peters says:
COM: SFC:  Thank you, these will help ::Cuts the comm::

XO_Pang says:
CNS: Lt I am aware of that ...

EO_Bolitho says:
::racking his brain, receiving schematics on new weapon design::

Host CO_Peters says:
::Stands and enters the bridge::

Host CO_Peters says:
OPS: Good

XO_Pang says:
CO: You have something to help us Sir?

CMO_Starr says:
@CEO: Whatever you just did, the thing responded to it, be careful.  Minor upsurge in power detected Chief.

CSO_VIPER says:
@CMO: The console could overload if we try to much!

CEO_Davis says:
@CMO: Really?  I didn't even do anything other than open the wall console...

OPS_Blace says:
CO: Perhaps we could try to communicate with it. Or, even make contacts.

Host CO_Peters says:
XO:  I have got the design schematics of the weapon.  Pass them onto to engineering and SCI, see if they can figure out a way to shut it down

Cns_Moore says:
CO: From what I've seen it's a little on the Borg side

XO_Pang says:
CNS: Lt. Prepare a non-intrusive probe .... and send it just outside the shields of the station

Cns_Moore says:
XO: Yes Sir

XO_Pang says:
CO: A probe might just get through the shields ...

Host CO_Peters says:
XO:  What's the current status?

CMO_Starr says:
@CEO: You know what this thing reminds me of Chief?  Remember that scientist with the M5 experiment?  Any chance this could be similar?

FCO_Mallory says:
XO: is this Dr.Chris  Evans?

Host CO_Peters says:
FCO: Take us back to the station

Cns_Moore says:
XO: Ready to fire probe on your order

XO_Pang says:
CO: Bad comms ... and as yet no way to disable the shields

FCO_Mallory says:
CO: aye sir..... distance?

Host CO_Peters says:
FCO: Last coords

FCO_Mallory says:
CO: aye sir...

CMO_Starr says:
@CEO: Chief?

FCO_Mallory says:
::swings the sip around::

XO_Pang says:
CNS:  Let it go .... very slowly ..... a nudge rather than a punch is what we need .... I take it there is a comms unit aboard the probe?

EO_Bolitho says:
*XO* Ma’am could you contact SF and obtain the command codes for the station so we can lower the station shields

Cns_Moore says:
CO: Maybe if we moved to another position near the station

Host CO_Peters says:
OPS:  Communication is impossible.  How can we talk to it?

XO_Pang says:
*EO* You mean they did not give it to us? I'll check with the CO

Cns_Moore says:
XO: Yes, Hopefully we'll be able to get through this way

FCO_Mallory says:
::overhearing:: XO: should be in our memory banks

XO_Pang says:
CO: We need the command codes for the station to punch through the shields ... the probe could do it

Cns_Moore says:
::lets the probe go slowly....watching it on the viewscreen::

CSO_VIPER says:
@CMO:

EO_Bolitho says:
*XO* no ma’am only received the weapon schematics

XO_Pang says:
FCO: Not a research station like this one

CTOCruzer says:
@::Tries to re-route power to console::

OPS_Blace says:
CO: Maybe there is a way to give it commands.
