Captains log stardate 10410.27. We have just entered the Findeu system with two tasks at hand, to scan the area for colonization and secondly to find out what happened to the ships and the crew that arrived before us.

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::still scanning the ship they found::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::hums quietly to himself as he brushes off his white lab coat::

Host CO_Correz says:
::walks on to the bridge:: OPS: Ensign Please see if Ensign T'Vok requires any assistance

CTO_Ens_T`Vok says:
::as the Artemis makes its way into the system he swings his chair and glances at the CO::  CO: Captain, now that we're in the system we are prepared to launch the probe to the 3rd planet...

Host CO_Correz says:
CTO: Acknowledged you have my permission

OPS_Ens_Landra says:
::Nods:: CO: Aye captain! ::Gets up from his console and walks over to the CTO, taking a look at what he's doing on his console::

CTO_Ens_T`Vok says:
::nods at the CO and pushes one of those shiny buttons to launch the modified probe::  CO: Aye, Captain... launching probe now...  ::glances at the viewscreen to see its launch::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: The Intrepid class I picked up earlier ... I have more data on it. No life signs aboard and judging by the lack of maintenance showed by engines and hull, I'd say she has been abandoned for about 2 weeks

Host CO_Correz says:
::looks up at the viewscreen::

Host CO_Correz says:
CSO; Acknowledged let me know when we are in transporter range and scan the surrounding area for anything unusual

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods::  CO: aye Captain

OPS_Ens_Landra says:
::Looks up at the CTO, nodding::  CTO: Need a hand?

Host CO_Correz says:
*CMO* Commander please report to the bridge

CTO_Ens_T`Vok says:
::glances at OPS as he senses his presence behind him::  OPS: Mr. Landra, you could give me a hand looking through the displayed logs of the Wortin and Aldura again, looking for clues we might be able to retrieve once get the probe's telemetry...

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::blinks and looks up from his report:: *CO*: Of course, Captain. Should I bring a medkit?

Host CO_Correz says:
*CMO* Not for the moment Doctor

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::frowns as there is a blip in her console::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::frowns slightly and steps out of his Sickbay, pulling up his phaser belt as he steps into the Turbolift:: 
TL: Bridge

CTO_Ens_T`Vok says:
::begins receiving the probe's telemetry and quickly opens up another window to load it into a computer analysis module::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: This might be nothing  ::frowns and taps her console::

OPS_Ens_Landra says:
::Nods:: CTO: Very well.. ::Activates the console behind T'Vok and prepares it for data review::

Host CO_Correz says:
::looks at the commander:: CSO: Nothing usually means there’s something to worry about ::smiles ::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: The system's main star has an unusual reading. A black spot, not consistent with current solar activity. I'm checking if its a shadow of some sort

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: I certainly hope not Captain ... ::scans the black spot trying to determine if its in the stars surface or further away::

Host CO_Correz says:
::frowns:: CSO: understood keep me informed

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::steps out of the Turbo lift quietly and makes his way down to the command circle:: CO: Captain?

CTO_Ens_T`Vok says:
::turns to the CO::  CO: Captain, probe telemetry coming in...  we can confirm the earlier made observations and readings of the Wortin about "camps" on the surface of the 3rd planet...  however, at this point in time we're not detecting any life signs on the surface... one remark with that is the fact that the probe cannot scan the mountain range in that specific area... which is very peculiar...

Host CO_Correz says:
::Smiles:: CMO: Doctor .. glad you could make it

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods::

Host CO_Correz says:
CTO: You know this whole situation is peculiar

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::smiles back:: CO: Of course, Captain. Sickbay is eerily quiet, which means trouble is brewing

CTO_Ens_T`Vok says:
::recalls the data and looks over the conclusions again::  CO: And I'm afraid I can't offer you can explanation for that item...  ::eyes an eyebrow::  it is certainly a puzzle in the making... I agree...  ::nods at OPS and sends him the probe's telemetry for comparison with the ship logs::

OPS_Ens_Landra says:
::Reviews the data he is receiving on his console, not exactly sure what to look for::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: Results coming in, its definitely a spot on the star ::taps her console some more:: CO: There are also residues of a matter-anti-mater reaction, which appears to have happened roughly a month and a half ago

ACTION: The probe picks up a very powerful energy fluctuation coming from inside the mountain range. It is even picked up through the unscannable rock.

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CSO: That’s consistent with the Wortin loosing her crew at about the same time

Host CO_Correz says:
CSO: Would that have impact on the Wortin or visa versa

CTO_Ens_T`Vok says:
::raises an eyebrow again as the probe's telemetry peak for a moment::  CO: Captain, we might have something interesting... for a moment the probe's sensors detected a very powerful energy fluctuation in the mountain range I mentioned before... it seems something is down there in that mountain...

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::realises that the Captain is busy and steps back, taking a look at the crew around him going about their duty::

Host CO_Correz says:
CTO: I knew something would rear its ugly head eventually .. how close have you got to be to get full scans and data readings ?

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: Unknown at this point, however there are life signs coming from the third planet, just in the entrance of the cave.

Host CO_Correz says:
CMO: Doctor I need you to head an away team shortly ..... Just not sure where I’m going to out you yet :;grins::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: The signs are ... fading in and out ... its odd

CTO_Ens_T`Vok says:
CO: We would have to be in orbit for any reliable close scans of that mountain range...

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
CO: Of course, Captain. Hopefully it'll be the planet, I have a hankering for fresh air ::smiles softly::

Host CO_Correz says:
CSO: can you identify if there Starfleet or not?

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION: After a few seconds, the energy fluctuation readings fade, as do the intermittent life signals. All except one, which defines into a real life sign.

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::looks for com badge signals::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: The life signs are gone now, save one, which is constant

Host CO_Correz says:
CTO: Understood OPS: get us in the required range

Host CO_Correz says:
CSO: Can we get a lock on him/her/it?

OPS_Ens_Landra says:
::Frowns:: CO: Captain, reading a comm signal, originating from those same cave entrances... They're intermittent though...

CTO_Ens_T`Vok says:
::glances at the CO::  CO: Captain, I advise we go to yellow alert before enter orbit of the 3rd planet just to be on the safe side...

OPS_Ens_Landra says:
CO: Appears to be federation, possibly combadges... ::Double checks that information::

Host CO_Correz says:
CTO: Acknowledged, yellow alert

CTO_Ens_T`Vok says:
::nods at OPS::  CO: Probe telemetry confirms Mr. Landra's statement... it's definitely a standard federation commbadge... but it's fading quickly....

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: Yes Captain, we can get a lock

CTO_Ens_T`Vok says:
::pushes the shiny yellow button and brings the Artemis to yellow alert::

ACTION: The Artemis settles into orbit.

OPS_Ens_Landra says:
::frowns:: CTO/CO: It's power supply could be running out...

Host CO_Correz says:
CSO: Beam then into the brig and get Sec down there

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods::

Host CO_Correz says:
CMO; Doctor I suggest you go see out guest... take Ensign T'Vok with you

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*Security*: Dispatch a team to the brig immediately

ACTION: The life sign is beamed to the Brig, as the security team arrives on site.

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::sets up a maximum security force field in the brig, protecting from weapons and infections::

CTO_Ens_T`Vok says:
OPS/CO: Or they could have a dampening field in place and the person with that badge is walking through of the "gaps" in the field....

Host CO_Correz says:
OPS: Keep scanning for that energy surge

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::nods:: CO: Guess I needed a med kit after all ::smiles softly and turns, walking up to the TL:: CTO: Ensign, come on, medics wait for no-one

Host SM_Sergio says:
<Sec Team Leader> *CTO*: Sir.. The prisoner is a human male.. He's unconscious... His uniform is Starfleet, and it is partly torn and there are some injuries on him.. I think you should beam him to sickbay..

Host CO_Correz says:
CSO: Commander, see what else you can get on the spot of the sun please, did we cause it or something else

CTO_Ens_T`Vok says:
::logs off his console and follows the CMO into the turbolift::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: By we, you mean it might have been caused by a Starfleet vessel?

Host CO_Correz says:
::Smiles:: CSO: Yes commander, Starfleet.

CTO_Ens_T`Vok says:
*Sec Team Leader*: Understood, set up a containment field in sickbay and beam him into that field... we will arriving in sickbay momentarily...

Host CO_Correz says:
CMO: And doctor let me know when he is ready for questioning

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods::  CO: I was about to say we were never in range of the star ::Smiles then gets back to work::

CTO_Ens_T`Vok says:
TL: Sickbay !  ::glances at the CMO::  CMO: To sickbay it is then...

Host SM_Sergio says:
<Sec> *CTO*: Aye sir...  *OPS*: Sir... We need the prisoner beamed to Sickbay around a containment field...

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
CO: Will do, Captain  ::turns to T'Vok as the doors close::  CTO: Sickbay. At least there I can get a proper medical kit

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: Sensors don’t have resolution to determine that at this range. May I launch a probe?

Host CO_Correz says:
::Chuckles at commander Gomes comment and settles into her chair looking at her consol::  CSO: Commander I take it the Wortin’s position is safe ?

CTO_Ens_T`Vok says:
::nods::  CMO: That would be a solid presumption...

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: She is holding position in orbit but apparently adrift

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::steps out of the TL as it opens, walking into Sickbay as heading straight for the only occupied biobed, shooing away the nurse who is buzzing around::

Host CO_Correz says:
CSO: Keep an Eye on her.. I will want to tow her back to a starbase when we leave the system

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::runs a quick tricorder scan and sighs::  CTO: No internal injuries, thankfully. A deep puncture wound, though...::puts down the tricorder and picks up an Anticoagulant, injecting 20cc's into the patient::

CTO_Ens_T`Vok says:
::follows the CMO out of the TL and into sickbay::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
Nurse: Get some blood into this man, quickly. ::picks up an auto suture as the blood starts to thicken and stop pouring out of the wound, running the small device up and down his abdomen a few times::

Host CO_Correz says:
CSO: Yep launch a probe and see what it tells you

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods::

Host CO_Correz says:
OPS: Any data from the planet

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::hands the auto suture to the Nurse:: Nurse: You seal up the rest of his wounds, I’m going to take a look at his concussion

OPS_Ens_Landra says:
::Turns around and continues working at the tactical station::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::launches a probe directed at the black spot in the star's surface::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::picks up a neuro-cortical scanner, placing the device on the patients head before bringing up the readouts::

CTO_Ens_T`Vok says:
::nods at the CMO as he observes the man in the Starfleet uniform::  CMO: How quickly can you identify him ?

OPS_Ens_Landra says:
::Shakes head as he no longer picks up the signal:: CO: Captain... The signal has disappeared... It could have run out of power, or entered the caves again...

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
CTO: His DNA readouts are on that console, why don't you run a check, Ensign? ::points absently to the nearest console as he views the readouts, picking up a hypo and loading it with 5ccs of neuro-stimulator to get those vitals back up::

Host CO_Correz says:
::Stops and thinks as she hears Ensign Landra:: OPS: keep an eye on it ... if i can i want to avoid sending down an away team until we have some idea what it is

CTO_Ens_T`Vok says:
::nods at the CMO and moves to the nearest console, cross-referencing the DNA material with the records of all crewmembers of the Aldura and Wortin::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: There seem to be residues of metal and metallic alloys orbiting the star in close proximity

OPS_Ens_Landra says:
::Nods:: CO: Aye captain... ::taps his console, hoping to get more details soon::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: They are consistent with Federation spaceship hulls composition

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::watches the vitals come back up to normal levels, but sighs at the 3rd cortical wave:: *CO*: Captain, our patient is stable, but he's in a coma. I've got Ensign T'Vok looking into his identity now

CTO_Ens_T`Vok says:
::glances at the CMO as he gets a positive identification::  CMO, *CO*: Captain, Commander, It seems he's a member of the Wortin crew... one Lieutenant Ryan Epacse...

Host CO_Correz says:
CSO: Commander beam some in to the cargo bay and lets take a look at what it is

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods and starts to get a lock on a sample of metals::

Host CO_Correz says:
*CTO*: Can he be questioned yet?

CTO_Ens_T`Vok says:
*CO*: As the Commander mentioned, the Lieutenant is in coma... I don't think we can get anything out of him at short notice...

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: I can't beam them aboard but I can scan them more thoroughly.

Host CO_Correz says:
CSO: See what you can do then

Host CO_Correz says:
*CTO*: Acknowledged let me know when he’s awake

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: I think I can do enough ... the metal composition, age and distribution match the hull signatures ...

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: Of the USS Aldura

CTO_Ens_T`Vok says:
*CO*: Understood, Captain.... T'Vok out.

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
CTO: I can't give you a time, before you ask. He'll wake when he wakes...

CTO_Ens_T`Vok says:
::accesses the medical console to retrieve the entire personnel record of Lieutenant Ryan Epacse::

Host CO_Correz says:
::Sighs and leans back in her chair:: CSO: Does this mean we can safely say the Aldura has been destroyed and is there any sign of what by?

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: That is a logical conclusion ... as for the reason, it was a matter anti-matter explosion. What caused that is unknown

Host CO_Correz says:
CSO: Okay Commander so in theory the matter/ anti matter could have been the Aldura’s warp drive? or possibly some thing to do with that energy burst on the planet or p[possibly the same traces near the sun?

OPS_Ens_Landra says:
::still working at the tactical console::

CTO_Ens_T`Vok says:
::glances at the CMO::  CMO: Commander, it seems our Lieutenant Epacse is a very, very loyal StarFleet Officer.... at least that is what his psychological suggests.... interesting...

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: I would say it was the warp drive Captain. What might have caused the breach is a good question however. The energy burst is a possibility. I suggest we look into the Wortin's sensors records of what happened here in the past weeks

Host Lt_Epacse says:
::groans slightly::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
CTO: Why so interesting? ::looks over at T'Vok::

Host CO_Correz says:
CSO; excellent Idea commander .. the task is yours .. please see to it and keep me informed ::smiles::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::looks back at his patient, checking his readings::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::raises an eyebrow at the Captain, then gets to work::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
CTO: You'd better tell the Captain that our friend is waking up::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::finds the Wortin's prefix code and inputs it on the computer. Remotely accesses the ship's sensor records for the past 2 months and has the Artemis computer analyze them::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::frowns as the logs show that the phase-shifting he'd noticed have disappeared::

Host CO_Correz says:
OPS: How’s it going Ensign

Host Lt_Epacse says:
::starts stirring, as he tries to open his eyes::

CTO_Ens_T`Vok says:
CMO: I'm not sure yet... but once I reach a conclusion I will inform you...  ::listens to the CMO's statement and nods::  *CO*: T'Vok to Correz, Captain...  Lieutenant Epacse is waking up from his coma...

Host CO_Correz says:
*CTO*: Excellent I will make my way down shortly, Ensign.

OPS_Ens_Landra says:
::Shakes head::  CO: Still nothing, Captain.... ::taps his console a bit more, hoping against all odds he'd get some results::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::puts his hand on Epacse's shoulder:: Lt: Don't move. You're on the USS Artemis, I’m Doctor Kymar. How do you feel, Lieutenant?

Host Lt_Epacse says:
::hears a faint voice, not quite making it out.. tries to speak, but only manages to cough::

Host CO_Correz says:
OPS: Well keep and eye on and start the survey scans

Host CO_Correz says:
CSO: Commander you have the bridge I will be down in Sickbay if yu need me

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::frowns then shakes her head::

OPS_Ens_Landra says:
::Nods:: CO: Aye captain... ::Taps a few more buttons to start further scans::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::vaguely looks up::  CO: Aye Captain ...

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::goes on working::

CTO_Ens_T`Vok says:
*CO*: Understood, Captain...

Host CO_Correz says:
::leaves the bridge entering the TL:: TL: Sickbay please

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: The Wortin shows no records of the Aldura

CTO_Ens_T`Vok says:
::moves towards the CMO and takes position slight right of him, observing Lieutenant Epacse::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::leaves the science consoles to an SO and heads to the centre of the bridge::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
Lt: Can you hear me, Lieutenant? ::leans over him slightly:: I want you to tell me your full name and rank

Host CO_Correz says:
*CSO* No records at all? Not even that she was searching for her ?

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*CO*: I meant sensor records, no records of the Aldura or her wreckage. But they did not scan the star

Host CO_Correz says:
*CSO* what did they scan Commander

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*CO*: There is also something that doesn’t add up....

Host Lt_Epacse says:
::opens his eyes wide..:: I.. I made it... Am I... Here? ::his eyes roll slightly upward, and he passes out again::

Host CO_Correz says:
::leaves the TL and walks to sickbay before stopping::  *CSO*: What ?

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*CO*: They scanned generally the system. I had the computer verify all the data. It would seem the last few minutes of sensor logs were deleted.

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::shakes his head and sighs:: CTO: He's exhausted

Host CO_Correz says:
*CSO*: Deleted? Is there any trace of whom or what?

CTO_Ens_T`Vok says:
::nods::  CMO: Understood... we will have to hear his full story when he regains enough strength then...

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*CO*Unknown at this point, but internal sensors also had that same tampering with

Host CO_Correz says:
*CSO* Good grief what has gone on with that ship.. find out what you can Commander

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
CTO: Only when he does regain his strength. I'll not dope him up on stimmies just so you guys can yell at him.

OPS_Ens_Landra says:
::frowns:: CSO: Anything I could do to help figure this out, commander?
