::enters the ready room trying not to limp:: CO: Stephen Lamberson reporting captain.

OPS_Mades says:
CTO/TO: See how that is.  I'll talk to engineering about what else we can do without taking too much from the science stuff.

Host Dr_Gifrel says:
<Gifrel> *Bridge* : Hey. What do you think you're doing up there????

Host Dr_Gifrel says:
ACTION : Warning klaxons sound in Main Engineering…

CTO_Peters says:
::Nods:: OPS:  Thanks Christian...

Host Dr_Gifrel says:
ACTION : The ship starts to shake

OPS_Mades says:

CTO_Peters says:
TO:  Bri, I'm going to initiate tachyon scans also.  Just in case something is cloaked or maybe miracles of miracles, travel over something in the nebula....  ::Holds onto her station::

Host Dr_Gifrel says:
ACTION : The Artemis drops out of warp inside the middle of the Nebula...

TO_Sky says:
::grabs the console:: CTO: Great don't they have enough sense to drop us from warp. Damn that is elementary flying.

Host Dr_Gifrel says:
ACTION : Sensor range is very limited...

FCO_Teasley says:
OPS: Status

CTO_Peters says:
::Grumbles::

CEO_Russel says:
*OPS*:  What's going on up there?  Why didn't we drop out of warp earlier?

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
CIV: Please, have a seat.

TO_Sky says:
CTO: Good luck with the way everything is being diverted to that "science person" I can't see us getting anything but yelled at when something sneaks up on us.

CIV_Lamberson says:
CO: Thank you sir. ::sits down stretching leg out::

Host Dr_Gifrel says:
<Gifrel>  Bridge : Are you crazy? This way we won't be able to take any readings..... How can someone be so incompetent!!!

OPS_Mades says:
*CEO*: Don't ask me, I wasn't flying until just now.

FCO_Teasley says:
OPS: Nothing too serious I hope?

CTO_Peters says:
::Looks over at Bri:: TO:  Bri, you and Topper are on.

CEO_Russel says:
*OPS*:  Who was flying?

XO_Farrel says:
::Nods to the new face, instantly recalling the civilian from the transfer list::

FCO: What is going on out here?

OPS_Mades says:
*Gifrel*: Please hold and I will transfer you to the Chief Science Officer, thank you for calling.  ::signals the CSO to watch out for the incoming call::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::As a few more arrive, she and Sarah treats the minor abrasions.::

CTO_Peters says:
<Dunson and Mayer> ::Step on the bridge practically at the Capt.'s heals.::

FCO_Teasley says:

::takes the XO's hand:: XO:: Stephen Lamberson Commander.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
FCO: And who has the helm?

OPS_Mades says:
::checks the automatic reroute the computer ran to get around the minor damage::

Host Dr_Gifrel says:
ACTION : An Ensign finally takes the vacant FCO spot.

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: It's my fault sir, I should have known to drop out of warp

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
FCO: Hold on a minute

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: Yes, sir

XO_Farrel says:
CIV: Pleasure to meet you...so what brings you to the Artemis?

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
*Dr. Gifrel*: Doctor, how far from the Nebula do we need to be for you to do your work?

TO_Sky says:
::stops on occasion to check with patrols before moving on making sure every place is well covered by security teams::

CSO_KTor says:
*Gifrel*: I'm sorry about the incident, doctor; there was a breakdown in communications between the bridge officers. I've modified sensors to pick up anything we can from here.

CIV_Lamberson says:
XO: A desire to get back in space ma'am.... Three years dirt side was a little too much for me to handle.

CEO_Russel says:
::Exits ME and heads for the TL.::

Host Dr_Gifrel says:
*Gifrel* : Well certainly not INSIDE it... Best distance would be 200 thousand km/s..

FCO_Teasley says:
::takes a deep breath::

TO_Sky says:
*CTO*: First two deck checks are okay we are heading on down.

OPS_Mades says:
::gets up and walks back to the TAC station::  CTO: Did that last transfer help?  ::gives Zoe a look::

CTO_Peters says:
*TO*:  Acknowledged Bri.

XO_Farrel says:
::nods:: CIV: I see...have you had time to settle in yet?

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
FCO: Ensign, take us 200 thousand km/s out side the Nebula

Host Dr_Gifrel says:
*CSO* : Thanks you, Ensign.. But with these kinds of readings, I might as well go to bed, and sleep

CTO_Peters says:
::Continues monitoring the scans.::

CIV_Lamberson says:
XO: Aye ma'am I have.... Still have the minor details to take care of but that I can do as time permits.

Host Dr_Gifrel says:
<FCO> CO : Aye Captain.. But sir.. With the reduced  speed we must use, we will still take a few hours to get out of the Nebula, let alone to 200000 km/s away from it

CTO_Peters says:
<Dunson and Mayer> ::Look at each other, but continue to stand at ease behind the Capt.::

CSO_KTor says:
*Gifrel*: We'll be out of the nebula in a few hours, doctor.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
FCO: Do the best you can Ensign

Host Dr_Gifrel says:
*CSO* : HOURS? Hours he says.... ::grumbles some more in his native language before she cuts the comm::

TO_Sky says:
::mutters as they walk along stopping to make checks at various places making sure all is secure::

OPS_Mades says:
::nudges Zoe since she isn't answering::

CEO_Russel says:
::Enters the TL.::  TL:  Bridge.

FCO_Teasley says:
::thinks he's a dead man::

Host Dr_Gifrel says:
<FCO> ::starts the long arduous journey back where they came from, since he can't navigate in here.::

XO_Farrel says:
CIV: I see...  ::glances at the doors:: wonder what happened out there...

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
FCO: Now Mr. Teasley, do you think I can trust you to get us out of the Nebula and 200 thousand km/s from it without any problems Cmdr.?

CTO_Peters says:
::Shakes her head and looks at Christian::  OPS:  Sorry, I was concentrating on the scans, Yes its helping a bit, but they will be useless if someone wants to attack

CIV_Lamberson says:
XO: May I ask if you carry a Marine detachment on board ma'am?

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: Yes sir

XO_Farrel says:
CIV: No, just standard security forces.

OPS_Mades says:
::waiting:: CTO: Now why would anyone want to attack sweet, loveable us?  ::smiles wide::

TO_Sky says:
::checks Jeffries tube hatches along the way making sure they are secure:: Topper: Okay let's head up to the next deck. ::heads for the TL::

CTO_Peters says:
::Chuckles:: OPS:  Because we are there and it may have to do with that bull’s eye you painted on the hull of the ship.  ::Winks::

CEO_Russel says:
::Exits TL onto the bridge.  Looks around the bridge.::

TO_Sky says:
<Topper> ::follows along keeping a check around for other security teams::

OPS_Mades says:
::rolls his eyes:: CTO: Please, that isn't original at all.

CIV_Lamberson says:
XO: Oh well I was hoping there might be ma'am.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
FCO: Now if you can't, I will find someone who will, understood?

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: Yes sir

CSO_KTor says:
CO: Sir I'm detecting a powerful gravimetric force from port. Source unknown.

CTO_Peters says:
::Grins:: OPS:  Well since you've been ignoring me lately you are not getting my best stuff.

XO_Farrel says:
CIV: Why?  ::half-smiling, intrigued::

OPS_Mades says:
::Seeing the bridge getting back to normal business, makes his way back to his post without answering Zoe::

TO_Sky says:
::stops to check with a team stationed at the transporter room making sure all is well there::

CIV_Lamberson says:
XO: Hoping to possibly meet some of my old comrades ma'am.

CMO_Mea`e says:
::As the last of the physicals for the day are completed and the last of the minor injuries are taken care of and leave, sickbay returns to its normal quietness.::

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: Permission to take my station, sir

TO_Sky says:
*CTO*: All is quiet on the decks and patrols are making their rounds.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::walks over to Science:: CSO: Any guess to who or what may be causing it?

CEO_Russel says:
::Sits down at the ENG console, after seeing there is someone flying the ship.::

XO_Farrel says:
CIV: Ah, I see.  ::wondered if she should ask about his past or not::

CSO_KTor says:
CO: Our sensors can't even localize the source sir, not inside this nebula.

CTO_Peters says:
*TO*:  Excellent.  You and Topper are doing a fine job.

CTO_Peters says:
CO:  Sir, the ship is secure.

CSO_KTor says:
CO: There are any number of possible causes.

OPS_Mades says:
::sends a note to Zoe "Thanks for the distraction, it was tense down here for a bit.  Oh, and I guess I owe you dinner"::

CTO_Peters says:
<Dunson and Mayer> ::Follow the Capt. to the Science station.::

TO_Sky says:
CTO: Thanks ma'am but it's the teams that are doing most of the work we are just making sure they do their jobs. ::trying to make a joke::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
CSO: Give me your best guess, can we get out of here without whatever it is destroying us?

CSO_KTor says:
CO: Sir the gravimetric force just disappeared.

CIV_Lamberson says:
::looks at the XO wondering what her question might be::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Turning sickbay over to Sarah, heads for the bridge.::

CTO_Peters says:
::Replies... No problem... I'll collect on dinner and maybe you can tell me what has you so disturbed.::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
FCO: Yes you may

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
CTO: Thank you Mr. Peters

CSO_KTor says:
CO: I recommend caution, a turn some degrees to starboard may be warranted.

FCO_Teasley says:
::relieves the other FCO and takes the helm::

Host Dr_Gifrel says:
<FCO> ::Leaves the CONN, and proceeds to the nearest TL::

CTO_Peters says:
*TO*:  Then keep it up.  It's working.

XO_Farrel says:
XO: Well...I hope you didn't come to Artemis looking for peace and quiet on the frontiers...because it's a very crazy place...and as a former counselor, I can attest to that in more ways than one... 

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
FCO: Mr. Teasley, take us 34.6 degrees starboard

FCO_Teasley says:
::scans the nebula and starts calculating for the shortest possible route::

FCO_Teasley says:

CTO_Peters says:
::Holds on tight.  Shudders at the sound.::

CIV_Lamberson says:
::hears the COM and grabs hold of the chair:: XO: Thank you ma'am. ::said through clinched teeth as the adrenaline starts flowing::

FCO_Teasley says:
::holds on to the chair::

TO_Sky says:
::grimaces as the sound of hull on hull seems to echo in a screech::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::holds on tight to Science::

CEO_Russel says:
::winces at the screech.::

CTO_Peters says:
Self:  Like chalk on a blackboard like my granny used to say.

XO_Farrel says:
::grasps the chair as the ship vibrates, she hears the sound of metal on metal::

Host Dr_Gifrel says:
ACTION : The sound stops, and both ships come to a full stop a few meters from each other

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Breaths a sigh of relief as the TL doors open onto the bridge and she steps through.::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
OPS: Status report

XO_Farrel says:
::looks up as the sound stops:: CIV: Well...looks like we're still alive.  ::motions to the bridge:: Shall we?  

CIV_Lamberson says:
::stands up:: XO: After you ma'am.

TO_Sky says:
::waits to see what else is going to happen and finally stands up straight:: Hill/Rice: Well I think I can help you figure out what you are going to do tonight you are both on report and will be doing extra duty. ::stands again with hands on hips:: Now move it before I kick your butts into the brig and lock you away for a while.

CEO_Russel says:
::Sees La'i enter the bridge.::  CMO:  Hey there, beautiful.

TO_Sky says:
<Hill> TO: But...

XO_Farrel says:
CIV: Thank you.  ::Steps through, onto the bridge.  She senses confusion and alarm around her::

Host Dr_Gifrel says:
ACTION : On the Viewscreen, the Crew can read the inscription on the saucer section of the other ship. USS Medici

CTO_Peters says:
CO:  Cmdr. K'Tor has it right.  This is the earliest model of an excelsior class and is emanating a standard federation ID.  I Thought these would out of service.

TO_Sky says:
::glares:: Hill: One more word besides yes ma'am and you will go to the brig.

OPS_Mades says:
::turns to the CO::  CO: Looks like minor hull damage, sir.  They also got the port phaser array.  She did come to a stop though, just a inch or so away.

TO_Sky says:
<Rice> ::grabs Hill and starts dragging him down the hall:: TO: Aye ma'am.

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Smiles at Matt and moves over to join him.::  CEO:  What's up?

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
CSO: Run a scan of that ship

TO_Sky says:
<Topper> TO: Just a bit on the aggravated side. ::chuckles::

FCO_Teasley says:
CTO: Earliest model?

CIV_Lamberson says:
::follows the XO out on the bridge moves to the side stops and listens to what is going on::

OPS_Mades says:
::turns back towards the front of the bridge and freezes, his eyes on the viewscreen::

CSO_KTor says:
CO: For the age of the Excelsior class, sir, there appears to be very little wear on the other vessel. ::begins detailed scans::

CEO_Russel says:
CMO:  We just collided with an Excelsior...

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
OPS: Thank you Mr. Mades

CSO_KTor says:
CO: Scanning sir.

CEO_Russel says:
::dispatches a repair team to the port phaser array.::

Host Dr_Gifrel says:
ACTION : Incoming communication, standard Federation hail.

XO_Farrel says:
::Overhearing bits of conversation:: All:  An Excelsior?

TO_Sky says:
Topper: I should have kicked their butts and good. ::starts back down the corridor:: We have been over this for the last five days and they were just standing around acting like nothing was going on!

CTO_Peters says:
::Mutters as she finds the port phaser array damaged.::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Looks over at flight::  CEO:  Maybe I should fly.  ::shakes her head:: I didn’t realize there were that many Excelsiors about.

FCO_Teasley says:
CTO: That would make it nearly 100 years old right?

OPS_Mades says:
::his console beeps loudly, but he doesn't move::

CTO_Peters says:
FCO:  Aye it would, sir.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
OPS: Can you identify the ship?

TO_Sky says:
*CTO*: Sky to Peters...what in blazes is going on up there?

OPS_Mades says:
::doesn't reply to the CO::

CEO_Russel says:
CMO:  There aren't...

CTO_Peters says:
*TO*:  We just collided with an Excelsior Class starship.

FCO_Teasley says:
CTO: So it would have been in here for about 90 years, correct?

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Looks at the screen.::

CSO_KTor says:
CO: Sir, this is the USS Medici, recorded as lost in action with all hands 22 years ago.

TO_Sky says:
::mutters a few choice words:: *CTO*: Great. By the way Ensign's Hill and Rice are on double duty for the next...oh I think week will do it.

CTO_Peters says:
FCO:  Very possible...  Would have to do some research in the databanks to see if the ship disappeared or not.

CTO_Peters says:
*TO*:  Oh and what did they do.....?

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : the Incoming hail is still there, unanswered.

CTO_Peters says:
CO:  Confirmed.  It is the Medici.

TO_Sky says:
*CTO*: They finished their patrol area...Topper and I found them lounging in the corridor discussing tonight’s plans when they got off duty.

XO_Farrel says:
::Noticing the brief bursts of static on the viewer, and the purple misty background, and wonders how they got inside the nebula::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
OPS: Did you hear me Ensign?

CTO_Peters says:
*TO*:  Well I'm sure we can find something for them to do so they don't have to make plans... I'll get back to you Bri

OPS_Mades says:
::Aloud, but very softly:: It can't be... the Medici....

CTO_Peters says:
CO:  I've got a power buildup in their forward phaser banks!

TO_Sky says:
*CTO*: Aye ma'am...anything I need to be aware of happening up there?

FCO_Teasley says:
OPS: Do you know this ship?

CTO_Peters says:
*TO*:  We may have some incoming fire...  Be prepared

CSO_KTor says:
OPS: Mr. Mades, the hail?

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
CTO/CSO: Thank you

XO_Farrel says:
::turns back:: CIV: You best take the counselor's chair...it's going to get bumpy....

TO_Sky says:
*CTO*: Aye ma'am. I will continue patrols unless you think you need me up there.

CTO_Peters says:
::Locks onto the Medici.::

OPS_Mades says:
::completely frozen at his station, his eyes not moving from the screen::

CSO_KTor says:
CO: Sir we're being hailed.

CSO_KTor says:
::takes over OPS' job as he seems somewhat stunned::

CIV_Lamberson says:
XO: Aye commander.... ::moves over taking sitting in the counselor's chair::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
OPS: Put the hail onscreen

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The Medici locks onto the Artemis. it also starts moving away

CTO_Peters says:
::Beeps Christian’s console to get his attention::

CSO_KTor says:
::opens the hail for Mades::

CTO_Peters says:
CO:  The Medici is moving away but they have locked onto us.

CSO_KTor says:
CO: On screen, sir.

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : ON

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : .. the viewscreen appears a Starfleet Captain, wearing a uniform of 22 years ago... Identify Yourselves... We will return fire if we are fired upon..

CTO_Peters says:
*TO*:  Bri, if things start to get hairy here I'm going to need you on the bridge.  Be prepared on a moments notice.

FCO_Teasley says:
::prepares evasive maneuvers if needed::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Moves over to OPS.  Quietly::  OPS:  Are you alright?

TO_Sky says:
*CTO*: Acknowledged, I'll start making my way up there now since we have a few more patrols on the upper decks to check on.

CIV_Lamberson says:
::looks at the out of date uniform in puzzlement::

XO_Farrel says:
::Raises and eyebrow at the old style uniforms and gives a puzzled look to the captain::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The Captain looks a little puzzled himself as he looks at the crew on the other side

OPS_Mades says:
::the change of the screen shakes him and he leans back in his chair, turning he sees the CMO:: CMO:  That ship.... my uncle.  It can't be, can it?

TO_Sky says:
Topper: I really hate being in the dark. ::starts walking::

CEO_Russel says:
::Swivels to look at the screen.::

CTO_Peters says:
::Watches the screen::

CSO_KTor says:
::turns to see the screen::

TO_Sky says:
<Topper> TO: It makes it rough but we have a job to do. ::smiles:: And you need to relax a bit you seem a bit tensed up.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
COM: USS Medici: This is Capt. Ewan McPherson-Quest of the USS Artemis, is everyone ok on your ship?

Host CO_Slochum says:
@::regains his composure:: COMM Artemis : I say again, please identify yourselves...

XO_Farrel says:
::focuses on the images of the Medici crew and tries to sense them telepathically::

Host CO_Slochum says:
@COMM CO : I will gladly reply once you stop targeting our ship...

OPS_Mades says:
::stands:: COMM: CO_Slochum: Is there a Jonathan Mades aboard your ship?

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Looks up at the ship curiously::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
CTO: Drop your targeting of the Medici

CIV_Lamberson says:
::glances quickly around the bridge try to stay aware of the situation::

CTO_Peters says:
::Looks at the Capt. to see if he wants her to drop the target.  Hearing him she drops it.::  CO:  Sir I'm no longer locked onto the Medici.

CEO_Russel says:
::looks at Mades as he speaks up.::

Host CO_Slochum says:
@::looks to the OPS officer, surprised:: COMM Artemis : How did you know that?

Host CO_Slochum says:
ACTION : The Medici's weapons power down and loose their lock on the Artemis, and she comes to a full stop again

OPS_Mades says:
::excited and scared and confused all wrapped up in one:: COM: CO_Slochum: He's... he's my uncle.  I'm Christian Mades.

FCO_Teasley says:
::holds position::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
COM: USS Medici: We have quit targeting your ship, is everyone ok?

XO_Farrel says:
::Is reassured to sense the presence of those people on the viewer...::

CTO_Peters says:
::Shocked at Christian's statement.::

Host CO_Slochum says:
@::turns back on his seat, to look at the SO:: <SO> CO : I do have a brother, but he doesn't have any children...

Host CO_Slochum says:
@::turns back to the screen:: COMM Artemis : Alright, what are you all trying to pull here?

OPS_Mades says:
COM: CO_Slochum: I was born a few months after.... after...  ::doesn't know if he should go on::

Host CO_Slochum says:
@COMM CO : I don't know your ship configuration..

Host CO_Slochum says:
@COMM CO : And what uniforms are those???

OPS_Mades says:
::turns to look at CO McPherson, his eyes pleading for help::

FCO_Teasley says:
COMM Medici: This is a Steamrunner class starship

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Looks down at Mades and back up at the ship::  CO:  It would fit with the info so far.

TO_Sky says:
::continues the rounds and checks of security teams::

CEO_Russel says:
::sits back in his chair, pondering.::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
COMM: Slochum: My ship is of the Steamrunner Class Starship and her name is the USS Artemis
