OPS{Cap} says:
COM: R/V: Er, correction, launch but wait for support shuttle before going to Warp

Host CO_Tealk says:
*XO* : Are you ready Cody?

FCO_Vrayl says:
@*OPS*: Understood. Beginning launch.

CMO_Senn says:
@FCO, CEO: I am ready... just... What kind of atmospheric effects you are expecting to find during the flight? I found it odd when I read my orders... do you have any ideas?

XOBryant says:
$*CO* Aye sir at your command

OPS{Cap} says:
::taps in clearance codes and opens shuttlebay doors::

TO_Wilks says:
CO: i guess it is a little paranoid, but i believe this is an important mission and that we should be ready for the worst

FCO_Vrayl says:
@CMO: We expect none, but precautions are in order.

FCO_Vrayl says:
@CMO: We may experience powerful EM fields due to this drive.

Host CO_Tealk says:

@FCO: It's just not a common precaution even in test flights. That's why my question... out of professional curiosity, not rebelliousness

FCO_Vrayl says:
@::launches from bay and takes position to wait for support shuttle::

XOBryant says:
SO: why don't you wait till they tell us we can leave, Lt?

CEO_Ross says:
@FCO,CMO:  Computer has located our position, we are 30 light years from our planned arrival point!

OPS{Cap} says:
CO: Scanning...

TO_Wilks says:
Computer: is anything interfering with sensors?

CEO_Ross says:
@FCO: Mr. Vyralle, there is a black hole heading, 127 mark 13!!

Host CO_Tealk says:
TO : Talk to Ops..

Host CO_Tealk says:
::he goes over to the science console:: CSO : Ok, Mr. McMer.. Any theories?

CEO_Ross says:
@FCO:  The computer seems sluggish, the Artemis is not at its predesignated position, and I have lost the link with the support shuttle!

FCO_Vrayl says:
@::brow furrows in concentration...he's done this in a sim, "skipping" off the gravity well...::

TO_Wilks says:

TO_Wilks says:
:: begins scanning for advanced warp power signature::

CSO_McMer says:
CO: I've double checked, we have the flight path inputted correctly, plus we should still have tracked them anyway.  The new drive may have kicked them further, faster than we can track, or porivdes a field we can not see through.

OPS{Cap} says:
CO: the support shuttle is requesting permission to dock

CMO_Senn says:
@CEO: Since we are all fine and this thing is going to beep if something goes wrong: :points at her equipment:: Mind if I spend my time trying to get hold of the Artemis?

TO_Wilks says:
CO: the probe has cleared the ship and is heading away at impulse, receiving sensor data, nothing yet

CSO_McMer says:
CO: Sir, we still have their warp signature, it’s apparently veered off now. We should turn to follow.

CIV_Kayan says:
::leaves the shuttle and heads for the bridge::

FCO_Vrayl says:
@::drops to impulse again, and tries to figure out where they are::

Host CO_Tealk says:
CSO : Are you still picking up the warp signature?

Host CO_Tealk says:
OPS : Looks like there's a new course.. Engage, warp 9..

CEO_Ross says:
@CMO: the computer is attempting that, Cmdr.  If you care to, you can monitor the diagnostic on the navigational array

OPS{Cap} says:
CO: Aye sir

FCO_Vrayl says:
@CMO: An excellent idea.

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  Regnum finds itself in unknown space, surrounded by large cubic vessels

OPS{Cap} says:
::engages at warp 9 on new heading::

CIV_Kayan says:
::entering the bridge, glances around and heads over to Sci station 2 and begins accessing it::

MO_Peon says:
*CO*: I was an EO I could make the repairs and do all the other stuff to Harmon's shuttle, Sir

FCO_Vrayl says:
@::scans the strange cubes::

CMO_Senn says:
@CEO, FCO: Thank you both. ::grins at them contradicting each other::

CSO_McMer says:
::Continueing to scan for the test craft warp signature, nods Kayan to station::

Host CO_Tealk says:
*MO* : We don't have time Mr. Peon.. Tealk out..

TO_Wilks says:
*CMO*: do we still have medical readings?

FCO_Vrayl says:
@::raises an eyebrow in alarm:: CEO: We....seem to be in the Delta Quadrant!

CMO_Senn says:
@CEO: Btw, Commander... what is that? :::points out at the cubic vessels::

CEO_Ross says:
@FCO:  MR. Vyralle, what design are those?  Borg?

XOBryant says:
*EO* Can you duplicate the conditions that the new drive did?

OPS{Cap} says:
CO: This warp trail is going all over the place, I'm having trouble finding out where they are going

SO_Joe says:
::looks over the readings when the shuttle went into warp::

Host CO_Tealk says:
CSO : So.. How is this possible? How can they have traveled ::looks at PADD:: 8 times what they where supposed to?

FCO_Vrayl says:
@CEO: Yes, Borg. And we seem to be in their home territory.

Host CO_Tealk says:
OPS : Slow to impulse..

CSO_McMer says:
CO: I have no idea.

OPS{Cap} says:
CO: Slowing to impulse ::slows down::

FCO_Vrayl says:
@::quickly plots a return path:: CEO: Have you completed the diagnostic yet?

CEO_Ross says:
@::Keys in plotted projection on navigation:: Warp 9, Mr. Vyralle

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  The borg cubes begin positioning themselves, surrounding the Regnum..........

Host CO_Tealk says:
::turns to the CSO:: CSO . Yes, Mr. McMer?

CIV_Kayan says:
::listens to the conversation around her as she works on sensors::

FCO_Vrayl says:
@::activates warp drive again::

CEO_Ross says:
@FCO:  Computer, is still churning on the diag.....

CMO_Senn says:
@::gets the diagnostic on the nav array, but it doesn't seem to have found the problem::

CNS_Sodak says:
::To self:: that's what that buzzing was, the collective mind

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  Regnum warps again............

CSO_McMer says:
CO: Sir, it seem obvious we cannot match their speed to pursue them.

CEO_Ross says:
@<Computer>:  Unable to re-establish subspace link with USS Artemis, continuing attempts

CIV_Kayan says:
CSO:  I don't suppose we have a record of the shuttle simms those two probably ran?

Host CO_Tealk says:
CSO : Your point being?

SO_Joe says:
::talks under his breath:: oh no, something went wrong

CSO_McMer says:
Kayan: Good thought, check the holodeck files.

Host CO_Tealk says:
CNS : Can you still feel the Regnum's crew?

CSO_McMer says:
CO: Lets wait a moment and regroup our thinking while checking out the holo-logs.

MO_Peon says:
::Thinks what can i do::

FCO_Vrayl says:
@::assists with the diagnostic::

Host CO_Tealk says:
CSO : Very well..

CEO_Ross says:
@FCO: Sensors show, the Borg are pursuing!

CIV_Kayan says:
::nods and begins only to stop::  CSO:  ahhh sir... I need access codes.

OPS{Cap} says:
CO: This trail is sporadic, I have some readings heading off toward the delta quadrant, others behind us

CMO_Senn says:
@::looks at the CEO, and for the first time in this flight, she feels fear::

CNS_Sodak says:
CO: Yes, but the Borg collective mind is interfering with my concentration. I can't contact them telepathically

CSO_McMer says:
::Programming in test craft actual flight vs the flight path we have tracked so far for comparison::

SO_Joe says:
::punches command on his keyboard:: Computer: check navigational system on the shuttle Regnum

Host CO_Tealk says:
::shakes his head:: OPS, CSO : So.. WHERE are they?

XOBryant says:
:::Sits at his station and watches everyone scurry around:::::

CEO_Ross says:
@CMO:  Well Doctor, do you have some analgesic cream? Borg implants have been known to be irritating to the skin!

OPS{Cap} says:
CO: We don't know

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  All Borg cubes is left behind, as the Regnum warps

SO_Joe says:
<Computer> Running diagnostic. 
FCO_Vrayl says:
@::doesn't like the clean diagnostics::

CSO_McMer says:
CO: I am trying to project that based on what we have of their actual flight path....

MO_Peon says:
::Gose on to a biobed::

CIV_Kayan says:
::taps her fingers waiting for CSO::

CMO_Senn says:
@::quietly goes to her medkit and prepares a hypo, which she places in her pocket:: CEO: I am afraid I forgot about that... didn't think we'd have company ::tries to smile nonchalantly::

Host CO_Tealk says:
CSO : Very well.. MO : Mr. Peon, Start working on Cmdr. Harmon's shuttle.. We have no other choice..

Host Cheryl says:
<all Borg cubes lose pursuit, I meant>

MO_Peon says:
::Gose to Cmdr Harmon's shuttle::

CEO_Ross says:
@FCO:  Well, MR. Vryalle, the Regnum has received it's first laurels, it has outrun a Borg Cube!! My compliments!

CSO_McMer says:
Kayan: Have you pulled those holo-logs yet?

MO_Peon says:
::Starts to work on it::

Host CO_Tealk says:
CIV : Miss Bryn, take that holographic data to Mr. Peon, please?

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  Regnum comes out of warp, in an asteroid belt, remote area of Alpha Quadrant

SO_Joe says:
<Computer>Diogastic complete

TO_Wilks says:
OPS: you can re-direct the power to the core, i'm not going to find anything on tactical scans

FCO_Vrayl says:
@::gives the CEO a stern look:: CEO: We could very well end up in a worse position. Our navigation seems unreliable......

XOBryant says:
CO: sir, just have him put manual restraints in and not worry about the SIF except to keep it together,

CMO_Senn says:
@FCO: I'd say high five, but I have the feeling you're going to raise that eyebrow at me, Lt.

OPS{Cap} says:
TO: re-directing

FCO_Vrayl says:
@::stops mid-sentence, and raises the shields::

Host CO_Tealk says:
OPS : Try to send a signal to the shuttle.. All frequencies..

OPS{Cap} says:
::returns power to the core::

CIV_Kayan says:
::quietly access the required data and down loads it to a padd::

CIV_Kayan says:
CO: yes sir

CEO_Ross says:
@FCO: Sensors are showing a dense asteroid field, shields firming up, 98%

MO_Peon says:
*CO*: I can fix this it won't take too long, but I'll half to work very hard, Sir.

FCO_Vrayl says:
@::starts some logically fancy flying through the surround rocks, as he scans for a path out::

OPS{Cap} says:
CO: All frequencies open, text, audio, video., speak when ready.

CIV_Kayan says:
::heads down to the shuttle bay with the information::

Host CO_Tealk says:
COMM *Regnum* : This is the Artemis calling Shuttle Regnum.. Can you hear me?

CSO_McMer says:
::Comparing downloaded simulation data to actual track data::

CMO_Senn says:
@Computer: comm link with Artemis status.

MO_Peon says:
::Starts to work on the shuttle::

OPS{Cap} says:
CO: no response sir

FCO_Vrayl says:
@::scanning as he dodges asteroids::

CEO_Ross says:
@FCO: I think we need to psych this out, I suggest we stay at impulse until we find out exactly where we are and the Artemis is

CMO_Senn says:
@<Computer> No communication link available yet.

Host CO_Tealk says:
OSP : Keep trying..

FCO_Vrayl says:
@CEO: Agreed, if this sector of space permits.

CIV_Kayan says:
::enters shuttle bay and heads over to MO::  MO: sir here is the requested information of the shuttle holo sims.

CMO_Senn says:
@::sighs::

MO_Peon says:
Thank you very much.

FCO_Vrayl says:
@::finds a path to clear space, and dives hard to follow::

MO_Peon says:
::Looks at the information::

OPS{Cap} says:
CO: I'm sending it out on a repeating frequency, and I'm still trying to gain comlink. That Subspace transceiver we had installed is pretty powerful, if it's out there, we should find it

CEO_Ross says:
@FCO: The computer is coordinating the constellations, probability of position 78% +

SO_Joe says:
::looks at the navigational console wiring::

FCO_Vrayl says:
@::still darting at high speed through the asteroids:: CMO: Have you noticed any detrimental effects of the new drive on our physiology?

CIV_Kayan says:
::Looks down at the MO::  MO:  anything I  can help you with?

MO_Peon says:
::Starts to work on the shuttle again::

CMO_Senn says:
@::thinking oh great, so we don't even know where we are....:: FCO: Not as of yet, raise of adrenaline and lactic acid, but it's normal in the situation.

Host CO_Tealk says:
::nods at OPS:: OPS : Very well..

MO_Peon says:
CIV: If you can take all of Cmdr Harmon's junk out of there that would help very much!

FCO_Vrayl says:
@::lurches hard to port, then to starboard::

Host CO_Tealk says:
All : Ok gentlemen.. Suggestions?

Host CO_Tealk says:
All : We need to find them..

CSO_McMer says:
CO: Comparing the actual test craft track to flight plan and simms, it seems that they have a pattern of pulling right 8 degrees and down 3 degrees.  Almost as if a harmonic is in the warp field.

FCO_Vrayl says:
@CMO: Understood.

CIV_Kayan says:
MO:  sure

CSO_McMer says:
CO: Of course, they're also much faster than expected.

CEO_Ross says:
@FCO,CMO: Computer has located our position, we are at the extreme outer edge of the Alpha Qaudrant, we are.........4 lightyears away from our last projected course and waypoint

Host CO_Tealk says:
CSO : OK.. SO based on that data.. Where would they be, right about now?

CIV_Kayan says:
::begins to remove some rather odd stuff from the shuttle.  Reaches up to pull down some.... fluffy dice...?::

FCO_Vrayl says:
@::suddenly jerks the shuttle into a tight loop around an asteroid and back down::

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  Vraylle's fancy flying brings them to the outer edges of the asteroid belt

CMO_Senn says:
@::keeps her mouth shut about what she found about Vraylle, after all she will have to do a physical on the guy after this::

FCO_Vrayl says:
@::increases speed, moving away from the asteroid belt::

CSO_McMer says:
CO: I'm not sure.  Once they got to the black hole, they did a course change not part of their flight plan.

CEO_Ross says:
@FCO: Correction, that is 40 LY away.........:Looks over at Vyralle and smirks::

SO_Joe says:
CO:Checking

CSO_McMer says:
CO: If they did other course changes they could be.... anywhere.

Host CO_Tealk says:
CSO : Well, I would have done it also, if I where them..

CMO_Senn says:
@::doesn't look too happy about this::

FCO_Vrayl says:
@::raises an eyebrow::

Host CO_Tealk says:
CSO : Meaning we can't find them..

CIV_Kayan says:
::dumps the stuff down in a corner of the SB::

Host CO_Tealk says:
OPS : Send a signal to all SF ships.. Tell them what we're looking for..

MO_Peon says:
::Half way done with the piece of junk of a shuttle::

OPS{Cap} says:
CO: Acknowledged

FCO_Vrayl says:
@CEO: I will plot a subwarp course back to the rendezvous while we analyze the drive.

CEO_Ross says:
@FCO: Very well, CMO: Doctor, I would appreciate that Comm link work now.

OPS{Cap} says:
COM: Starfleet: Artemis to any nearby ships, we have lost one of our shuttles and are requesting assistance in finding it.

CIV_Kayan says:
::removes a pair of horns from the wall and mumbles::  What kind of guy flies this bird?

MO_Peon says:
Hmm, Now I must change it to meat The CEO's specifications.

XOBryant says:
CO: sir you can’t do that

CSO_McMer says:
CO: Now that we've discovered the pattern of course deviations, we can duplicate their drive.  Navigation can correct for the harmonics.

CMO_Senn says:
@::closes her eyes for a moment and mutters softly:: 40 light years... ::raises her voice:: CEO: I would as well, Commander, and I'm still working on it. ::smiles::

XOBryant says:
CO: this project is top secret, they are our problem.

FCO_Vrayl says:
@::rises from the console to remove an access panel near the engines::

CMO_Senn says:
@::decides to take the computer out of it and try to get it back manually::

Host CO_Tealk says:
CSO : It's no use, Jason.. We have no idea how long they engaged the drive..

Host CO_Tealk says:
XO : Right now, i don't give a damn about the project.. Only my missing crew..

FCO_Vrayl says:
@CEO: The navigation system is operating correctly. Therefore, the difficulty lies with the new drive.

CSO_McMer says:
CO: Their Warp trail is still present to track.

XOBryant says:
CO: Aye sir.

Host CO_Tealk says:
CSO : What is their direction?

SO_Joe says:
CO: I think I found you should see

FCO_Vrayl says:
@::runs a few scans inside the panel::

MO_Peon says:
::Starts to sweat a lot::

OPS{Cap} says:
CSO: it's still present, but it's going all over the place

Host CO_Tealk says:
SO : Speak up, Mr. Teasley

CMO_Senn says:
@::overhears the FCO and grins to self, obviously it had to be the new drive!::

CSO_McMer says:
::Putting their warp trail vector on the big screen:: CO: There it is, Sir.

CMO_Senn says:
@::taps the console lightly, trying to regain comm contact with the Artemis::

CIV_Kayan says:
*CO*:  If this shuttle is going to fly, do I have permission to check her out or is Harmon going to take her out?

CEO_Ross says:
@FCO: Well that tears it! ::The Regnum jumps into warp, warning klaxons sound::<Computer>:  Warning, inertial dampners off-line

Host CO_Tealk says:
::looks at the screen:: Delta Quadrant?.. I'm sorry, Mr. McMer.. We cannot go that way..

Host CO_Tealk says:
*CIV*  :I am Miss Bryn.. I'm not taking any more chances on my crew..

XOBryant says:
CO: sir no you aren't

SO_Joe says:
CO: I ran a diagnostic on the shuttle before it went to warp, and I think I found some bad news

XOBryant says:
CO: Your responsibility is to the ship.

CSO_McMer says:
CO: Should we then proceed to the rendezvous point and wait to see if they return on their own?

OPS{Cap} says:
CO: We are confirming the CSO's telemetry, they definitely did head toward the delta quadrant, a great distance too.

MO_Peon says:
::Sits on the floor::

CEO_Ross says:
@FCO: Pull the plug Vyralle!!!

Host CO_Tealk says:
CSO : Yes.. OPS : Lay a course and engage.. Warp 5

Host CO_Tealk says:
XO : Look, Cody..

CMO_Senn says:
@::looks at the CEO:: CEO: NO! The dampners are offline, we're not going to survive it!

FCO_Vray says:
@::disconnects the power::

CIV_Kayan says:
::looks confused:: CO:  captain, you want me to look things over or you do not?

Host CO_Tealk says:
XO : I cannot allow myself to loose any more crewmembers.. ::whispers:: I know you understand that..

Host CO_Tealk says:
*CIV* : I do Miss Bryn..

OPS{Cap} says:
CO: Course laid in

MO_Peon says:
::Sighs, and almost passes out:: Hahhh, Done!

OPS{Cap} says:
::warp 5, engage::

XOBryant says:
CO: Sir besides the fact that you belong on the ship, you haven't ever had to fly an experimental craft, you can't do it and you are only reducing the chance of success with your emotions

CIV_Kayan says:
::nods:: CO:  Yes sir

CEO_Ross says:
@::Ross gets to the FCO panel and disengages the M/ARC

FCO_Vray says:
@::restores impulse power::

MO_Peon says:
*CO*: Its ready

SO_Joe says:
CO: The wiring in the navigational console was faulty
