USS Artemis - NCC 83093
Mission Transcript
Stardate 9907.30

Host KTracht says:
The Artemis was ordered to investigate strange disappearances out in the Kanibdis System. As they arrived, they found evidence of life on the third planet of the system, Class M. In the meantime, the Artemis was surveying this unidentified anomaly that they found in their LRS. A probe was sent, and an AT beamed down to the planet. The AT found four Klingons in the planet (which was strangely bear of metallic alloys), and they seemed to be scared of something. The Artemis and the AT found out what they where scared of, once the anomaly speeded and engulfed the Artemis, and as a similar (but smaller in size) anomaly engulfed the AT along with the Klingons on the planet. All communications between the AT and the Artemis has been lost.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Continue Artemis 9907.30>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
CMO_Senn says:
@::near to the other members of the AT, all surrounded by the cloud, still trying to get a reading from her tricorder::
AensKayan says:
::searching through SF database for possible examples of past incidents::
XOBryant says:
@::::Watches the cloud to see what's going to happen::::
Host CO_Ross says:
::At the center chair on the Bridge::
FCO_Joe says:
::thinks of a way to get the Artemis out::
Host KTracht says:
ACTION : Nayla's tricorder begins to give out strange readings.. But it picks up strong ionic pulses going through it.. and the AT..
TO_Buonmo says:
::works at the tactical station above the captain::
CMO_Senn says:
@::walks nearer to the Bynars, as if she could protect them that way::
CSO_MacMe says:
::After tasking engineering and science teams to set up a wide area polaron burst around the ship, I am at the Bridge science station running a few mathematical patterns through as a modulation to an EM field being transmitted through our comm. board::
AensKayan says:
::pulls up three past missions, all three from the crew of Enterprise.  Two under Captain Kirk and one under Captain Picard::
FCO_Joe says:
CO: Sir, I think I have an idea
CMO_Senn says:
@XO: My tricorder finally shows something, sir... apparently it's ionic pulses. ::frowns::
Host CO_Ross says:
FCO: Proceed Mr. Teasley
Host KTracht says:
ACTION : The external Artemis sensors also start to pick up strange Ionic pulses coming from the Anomaly
XOBryant says:
@CMO: Dr, can you tell me anything about this cloud?
CMO_Senn says:
@::almost feels the waves of the pulses going through her body, not a nice feeling at all::
Host KTracht says:
ACTION : For no apparent reason, Cap, and Caq fall to the ground..
CSO_MacMe says:
::Monitoring pulses from anomaly for a pattern to the pulses::
TO_Buonmo says:
Captain: sensors are picking up ionic pulses coming from the anomaly
FCO_Joe says:
CO: We vent some plasma in front of us and raise the forward shields, then fire a torpedo into the plasma to make a hole for our escape
AensKayan says:
CSO:  Here are some examples on file in the SF database.
Host KTracht says:
@XO : Well.. Welcome to the planet. It won't be long till you can't go anywhere.
CSO_MacMe says:
::Checking also for resonance by metals to the pulse pattern::
CMO_Senn says:
@XO: >From what I can tell, the ionic pulses are... sort of "dissolving" the metal sir... ::a hand goes to her commbadge while kneeling by the Bynars::
Host CO_Ross says:
CSO: How about that Mr. MacMer, will there be a shock wave associated with that type of burst?
CMO_Senn says:
@KTracht: How much time till all metal is gone? ::punching buttons:: XO: Please, your phaser, and the CNS' tricorder.
CSO_MacMe says:
::nodding to Kayan:: CO: Sir, I think that if the anomaly reacts to it, the reaction will be stronger than any shock wave from the burst.
Host KTracht says:
@::sits down on the ground:: XO : Get ready for a long wait..
Host KTracht says:
@XO : Well.. Last time.. 6 hours...
CSO_MacMe says:
::Taking a look at Kayan's data pull::
Host CO_Ross says:
CSO,FCO: I agree, although we will keep Mr. Teasley's recommendation to heart, proceed Mr. MacMer
CMO_Senn says:
@KTracht: mind talking to me every once in a while? 6 hours till what?... all metal gone or... else?
AensKayan says:
CSO: this example from the Enterprise of "souring the milk", could we do something similar?  I mean we can not change the ship's composition, but perhaps some sort of repolarization or something along that line?
Host KTracht says:
@::frowns:: CMO : Why should I?
FCO_Joe says:
CO: Thank you captain
CMO_Senn says:
@::takes the hypospray, hoping it's still working well, and gives the Bynars a shot hoping it will help::
CSO_MacMe says:
Kayan: I had thought along those lines also, work something up -- maybe hydrocarbons or a reverse polarity field -- we'll do the CO's idea first.
Host KTracht says:
<Computer> Warning. Hull integrity down by 1%
CMO_Senn says:
@KTracht: How about because you are a Klingon warrior, and I have never seen a Klingon warrior give up in a fight? This is a fight, mister, and I'm no Klingon, and I'm even a woman... but I'm not giving up. How about you?
CSO_MacMe says:
::After checking with the engineering team, and finding that the reconfiguration is complete:: CO: Sir, we can try a burst.  Do you want it focused or all around the ship?
Host CO_Ross says:
TO: Mr. Buonomo, compensate the Hull Integrity, draw power directly from the Core if need be
Host KTracht says:
@::looks her in the eyes.. then looks at the field::
Host CO_Ross says:
CSO: What is your recommendation?
TO_Buonmo says:
CO: aye sir ::compensates::
CSO_MacMe says:
CO: Let's focus it forward and try to make a hole.
Host CO_Ross says:
CSO: Very well, proceed
CMO_Senn says:
@::holds his gaze for as long as he looks at her::
CSO_MacMe says:
CO: Aye sir.  ::Punching up the burst shape, and firing burst::
AensKayan says:
::contemplates reverse polarity... enters a formula:: Computer: run simulation on repolarizing the ship.
FCO_Joe says:
CSO: Do we need the inch up the ship
Host KTracht says:
ACTION : The burst bounces on the EM field and hits the Artemis.. The ship trembles....
CSO_MacMe says:
::Noting Polaron burst is fired, checking for reaction from anomaly::
Host CO_Ross says:
TO: Status Report
CSO_MacMe says:
CO: That didn't seem to have any affect.
AensKayan says:
::looks at scans coming in from the entity::
TO_Buonmo says:
CO: the polaron burst bounced off the field and hit us sir
XOBryant says:
@CMO: do you think that this thing is alive?
Host KTracht says:
@CMO : It is useless.. Nothing passes through this field.
CMO_Senn says:
@::looks at the XO:: XO: Not yet, sir...
CSO_MacMe says:
CO: Should we try a EM field polarity reversal now?
Host CO_Ross says:
TO: Mr. Buonomo, tie into Engineering Console,
TO_Buonmo says:
CO: aye sir
CMO_Senn says:
@KTracht: Nothing? Please, KTracht, what do you mean by "nothing"?
Host CO_Ross says:
CSO:  Yes, attempt a reverse with increasing power
TO_Buonmo says:
::sets up engineering console to run into his tactical station::
CSO_MacMe says:
CO: Aye sir.
CSO_MacMe says:
Kayan: Have you come up with anything on the polarity reversal?
Host CO_Ross says:
TO: Mr. Buonomo, monitor all engineering systems, you will have to augment Engineering as well......
TO_Buonmo says:
CO: aye sir
Host KTracht says:
@CMO : I mean nothing... The first time we where caught... We...Tried for several hours to get out of here... To no avail...
CMO_Senn says:
@::starts monitoring the Bynars with one of the tricorders, and scans the anomaly with the other:: XO: The cloud is composed of small metal particles... probably from the planet.
CMO_Senn says:
@KTracht: But you survived...
Host KTracht says:
@::shows his hands, with some second degree burns:: It is strong.
AensKayan says:
CSO:  The cloud is composed of metallic particles, could we use the deflector dish and reorient the molecules... perhaps magnetize them?
CSO_MacMe says:
Kayan: That will probably be the effect of any EM field we put out.  What can we do, though, to maximize our effect?
CMO_Senn says:
@::hands the CNS a dermal regenerator to help with KTracht's hands::
Host KTracht says:
ACTION : The tricorder starts to malfunction. As do the other metallic components.
Host KTracht says:
@::stays silent::
Host CO_Ross says:
FCO:  Mr. Teasley, change the ship's shield harmonics to minimize the ionic pulses breaking through from the anomaly
AensKayan says:
CSO:  what do you mean by maximize?
FCO_Joe says:
CO: Aye sir
FCO_Joe says:
::changes harmonics::
CSO_MacMe says:
::Looking over at Kayan's data to see how to optimize our EM modulations:: Kayan: I just want to maximize our effect.
XOBryant says:
@:::Looks frustrated:::: CMO: so why did this metal from the planet decide to get up and fly?
CMO_Senn says:
@XO: The tricorders are starting to malfunction...
CMO_Senn says:
@XO: I wish I knew. But the more metal they get, the more "hungry" the anomaly is for more.
XOBryant says:
@CMO: that is probably why your tricorders are starting to malfunction.
Host CO_Ross says:
COMM*XO*:  Artemis to AT, this is Captain Ross, do you read?
CSO_MacMe says:
::Considering Kayan's data, I plug in a polarization pattern, route it through the forward scanner array, and sent out a reverse polarized EM field::
CMO_Senn says:
@::whispers:: XO: We won't have much time before the Bynars are seriously compromised. But... from what I gather here ::points to the tricorder:: there are some electric currents running from each particle to its close neighbors. Maybe if we could stop it...
Host KTracht says:
ACTION : No comms go through...
TO_Buonmo says:
CO: no response sir
Host CO_Ross says:
COMM*XO*: Repeating, Artemis to AT, this is Captain Ross, do you read?
CMO_Senn says:
@XO: It's almost like... a net. If we could disassociate it, we might have a chance, at least for them ::motions to the unconscious Bynars::
Host KTracht says:
ACTION : The EM field wobbles for while, but then returns to normal.. the pulses' rate become quicker
AensKayan says:
CSO:  These particles are interconnected, like some kind of network... I am trying to remember something about the Tholians...  Not the same, but perhaps along their ideas?
XOBryant says:
@CMO, OPS: both of you start thinking of a way to ground the field so that it's no longer charged!
Host CO_Ross says:
TO: Thank you, Mr. Buonomo
FCO_Joe says:
::keeps eye on the shield harmonics::
CSO_MacMe says:
CO: Sir, our polarization trick made it wobble.  I'm going to try to set up a pattern of phase reversals to harmonize the wobble.  Maybe tear it apart...
CMO_Senn says:
@XO: We could reconfigure the tricorders and phasers, to start some ionic pulses of the same strength, but opposed to the one the cloud generates.
Host KTracht says:
<Computer> Warning Hull integrity down by 3%
TO_Buonmo says:
::compensates with power from warp core::
Host CO_Ross says:
CSO: Understood, increase cautiously however
XOBryant says:
@CMO: Make it so!  :::Pulls off his phaser and hands it to the Ops officer::::
AensKayan says:
CSO:  What if we set the polarization of the field on one half positive and the other half negative.  Might it "attract" itself, giving us an opening?
CMO_Senn says:
@::takes the XO's phaser and starts working, while the CNS finishes healing the silent Klingon's hands::
FCO_Joe says:
CO: Sir did you say wobble?
CSO_MacMe says:
::Resetting the EM field for a series of polarity changes meant to turn the wobble into a positive feed back loop....::
CSO_MacMe says:
::Initiating EM field::
Host KTracht says:
ACTION : This time, nothing happens to the field.. It's power has been doubled, making it a lot stronger.
Host CO_Ross says:
FCO: Mr. Teasley, not that I recall?
CMO_Senn says:
@XO: I hope it works... we might be able to create a safe place for the Bynars at least... ::till they run out of power::
Host KTracht says:
ACTION : The AT's equipment goes dead.
FCO_Joe says:
CO: Anyway, I think I know what to do
CMO_Senn says:
@::drops the tricorders and phasers to the floor, and looks up at the XO as if asking for a miracle::
Host CO_Ross says:
FCO: Yes?
CSO_MacMe says:
::Noting patterns on the EM field.  Running them through the computer to identify what they are::
XOBryant says:
@CMO: does it seem to you like there is some kind of pattern in the pulses?
Host KTracht says:
ACTION : The computer does not recognize any patterns..
Host KTracht says:
ACTION : One of the phasers fires as it hits the ground, it's blast fading into the Em field.
AensKayan says:
::continues running some scans and ideas through the computer::
CSO_MacMe says:
::Running the patterns through the universal translator for communication potential::
CMO_Senn says:
@XO: It seemed to be one... but the equipment has stopped work... ::watches the phaser burst and takes it from the floor::
XOBryant says:
@::::Walks over to the field and cautiously sticks his hand out to touch it.::::::
FCO_Joe says:
CO: When either you or Mr. MacMer said wobble, that got me thinking about how Jello can't be broken that easily unless it's heated, causing it to melt what if we try making it hot outside the ship
Host KTracht says:
ACTION : A few of the metallic particles wonder over the EM field, closer to the Artemis' hull..
CMO_Senn says:
@::quickly finishes reconfiguring it and puts it to work... for as long as it will hold,  trying to protect the Bynars::
Host KTracht says:
ACTION : A slight Jolt greet the XO's hand..
Host CO_Ross says:
FCO: Your suggestion then, Mr. Teasley?
XOBryant says:
@::::Tries not to look stupid as he whispers at the cloud::: Hello can you understand me?
Host KTracht says:
ACTION : No reply from the cloud.
FCO_Joe says:
CO: We vent some super heated anti-matter or plasma and it might make the EM field become unstable
CMO_Senn says:
@::looks at the XO sideways:: XO: You're thinking the same I do?
Host CO_Ross says:
CSO: Well Mr. MacMer, your opinion? Mr. Kayan yours as well?
CSO_MacMe says:
CO: Kayan gave me a suggestion a few minutes ago, what if we polarize the ends of the Artemis -- one to "attract" the thing, the other to repel?
XOBryant says:
@CMO: it would appear so doctor, just how do we get through to them?
Host KTracht says:
@XO : We don't.. As I have said before... All we can do is wait now.
CMO_Senn says:
@XO: I don't know... but... ::looks at the Klingon and narrows her eyes::
CSO_MacMe says:
CO: One piece of good news, is that it looks as if we might be able to get a transporter signal through, if we can solve our other "little" problem here.
Host KTracht says:
@::growls::
Host CO_Ross says:
CSO: super heated polaron and anti-polaron beams?
CSO_MacMe says:
CO: I'll try anything right now.  Aye, sir.
XOBryant says:
@KTracht: I'm sorry but this is the first time that I ever saw a Klingon give up... perhaps I was mistaken when I thought you were of the empire?
CSO_MacMe says:
CO: However, the EM field seemed to have more affect....
Host KTracht says:
@::growls louder::
Host CO_Ross says:
CSO: Proceed with the EM field
CMO_Senn says:
@XO: The cloud might think then that we're enemies... after all... ::frowns:: what could we do to communicate with a cloud?
CSO_MacMe says:
CO: Aye sir.
Host KTracht says:
@CMO : Do not test my patience..
TO_Buonmo says:
::continues to flow power to the hull integrity field::
CSO_MacMe says:
Kayan: Why don't you set up that polarization differential you suggested?!
AensKayan says:
CSO:  OK, I will give it a try.
Host KTracht says:
<Computer> Warning : Shield integrity down by 4%
XOBryant says:
@KTracht: She isn't testing you Klingon, she is trying to find a way out of this, if you don't plan on helping then stay out of her way.
CMO_Senn says:
@KTracht: I will test all I want. You deserve no respect from me. ::knows she's getting in trouble, but trying to make him react:: A Klingon warrior would have my respect, not you.
Host KTracht says:
@CMO : Bah.. What would a puny human know about Klingon warrior ways? ::laughs out loud::
AensKayan says:
::looks over her controls and tries to configure out creating two separate magnetic poles::
TO_Buonmo says:
::realigns plasma conduit::
CMO_Senn says:
@KTracht: I am not a human. And if you can't tell the difference between a human and a Bajoran, then you deserve even less... I'm a warrior, mister, what are you?
AensKayan says:
CSO:  Commander, can we send or beam anything off the ship?
Host KTracht says:
@::draws out his blade-less knife... them re-sheaths it:: I have lost my honor.. Can you not understand that?
CMO_Senn says:
@::approaches KTracht and looks deep into his eyes and her voice is barely heard about a whisper:: KTracht: Win it back.
Host KTracht says:
ACTION : Metal particles start coming loose from the Artemis' hull..
CSO_MacMe says:
Kayan: I thing we can.
XOBryant says:
@KTracht:  I for one thought that the empire was built of more than a knife but perhaps I was wrong?
Host KTracht says:
ACTION : And they disappear from scanners as they reach the cloud (past the EM field)
Host KTracht says:
@XO : This is no ordinary knife..
Host KTracht says:
@XO : This is a dk'tang..
CSO_MacMe says:
::seeing what happens to the particles coming off the Artemis, I stop cold for several seconds.....thinking::
AensKayan says:
CSO:  What if we beam off two modified probes in opposite ends of the ship and initiate opposite ionization bursts to alter the magnetic poles of the metallic particles.
XOBryant says:
@KTracht: the spirit of a warrior cannot be held in a knife
Host KTracht says:
@XO : On the contrary... The minute a Klingon looses his Dk'Tang.. His honor is lost... And a Klingon cannot live without honor.
CSO_MacMe says:
Kayan: That may be the easiest solution.
CMO_Senn says:
@::shrugs at the Klingon... she cannot understand why he quit so easily, and tries to walk a couple of steps from the group, a bit more into the cloud::
AensKayan says:
::mumbles::  Assuming it works...
XOBryant says:
@KTracht: only if you let it be.
CSO_MacMe says:
::Catching Kayan's mumble, gives her the best uplifted eyebrow Vulcan imitation he can summon::
CMO_Senn says:
@::takes the commbadge from her uniform, and with it on the palm of her hand, she extends her arm as if offering it to the cloud::
Host KTracht says:
@::shakes his head:: XO : I do not expect you to understand... ::sits down::
Host CO_Ross says:
CSO: What is your best guess Mr. MacMer?
CSO_MacMe says:
CO: Sir, with your permission, we're going to use two probes for the polarization effect.
Host KTracht says:
ACTION : Small particles leave the comm badge..
AensKayan says:
CSO:  I need to go modify the probes by hand... think I can get some help?
CMO_Senn says:
@::she can see the particles being taken by the cloud...  shimmering... and wonders if the cloud will understand her::
Host CO_Ross says:
CSO: If the cloud will allow materialization, proceed
CSO_MacMe says:
CO: Aye, Sir.
TO_Buonmo says:
CO: sir, I think the probe won't make it through the EM field
Host CO_Ross says:
FCO: Mr. Teasley, be prepared to move the ship once free
CSO_MacMe says:
Kayan: Grab an engineering tech along the way.  I'll stay here to man the console.
FCO_Joe says:
CO: Aye sir
AensKayan says:
::glares at the TO::  TO:  lets try first.  You want to come lend me a hand?
Host KTracht says:
<Computer> Warning: hull integrity down by 7 %.
TO_Buonmo says:
Kayan: one second
CMO_Senn says:
@::stays where she is, the commbadge almost dissolving in her hand::
TO_Buonmo says:
::fixes hull integrity then helps Kayan::
Host CO_Ross says:
TO: Proceed with Ens. Kayan, I will monitor Engineering from here
Host CO_Ross says:
::keys in the uplink to the Eng 1 console on the chair's PADD::
AensKayan says:
::enters the turbo lift with the TO::
FCO_Joe says:
::sets the coordinates::
CSO_MacMe says:
::Continuing to scan to try to learn the secret of the bonding between particles in the anomaly::
XOBryant says:
@:::Just sits down next to the Klingon and watches as the metal starts to dissolve::::
AensKayan says:
Computer: weapons' storage
AensKayan says:
TO:  We have not met yet.  I am Acting Ensign Kayan Bryn.
CMO_Senn says:
@::wonders as well about their fate, but since the Klingons are still alive, then maybe it won't want the metal in their bodies::
TO_Buonmo says:
AEnsign: I am Ensign Peter Buonomo nice to meet you ::offers hand::
Host KTracht says:
ACTION : Due to the power module on the phaser being active, the Bynars seems to be less affected by the metal dissolution
AensKayan says:
::gets off at deck ten and heads for the storage locker area::
AensKayan says:
::takes Peter's hand::  TO:  Welcome aboard.
TO_Buonmo says:
::follows Kayan::
TO_Buonmo says:
Kayan: thank you
CSO_MacMe says:
CO: Sir, can we perhaps beam a particle or two from the anomaly to the science lab for detailed study?
AensKayan says:
::enters the weapons room and looks around for where the probes might be kept::  TO:  Well, they should be around here somewhere.
Host CO_Ross says:
CSO: You have leave to try, place it in a level 5 containment field
TO_Buonmo says:
Kayan: in that corner over there
CSO_MacMe says:
CO: Aye, sir.
CMO_Senn says:
@::still looking at the commbadge, the process dissolving it is slow, but steady, her mind rushing about how she could communicate with the "being"... if it is actually a being::
CSO_MacMe says:
::First notifying the Science Tech on duty, programs the transport protocol to the level 5 field::
AensKayan says:
TO:  so it would appear.  OK, lets see what we can do with these babies.  If you will start on that one, I will start on this one... ummm... after you help me pull out please ::smiles::
FCO_Joe says:
::awaits the captain's orders::
CSO_MacMe says:
::The Science Tech sets up a series of microscopic scans on the particles::
AensKayan says:
::waits for Pete to pull the probe out for her::
Host CO_Ross says:
FCO: Mr. Teasley, be at the ready, this will be quick, ...I believe anyway
TO_Buonmo says:
::helps Kayan, then takes the probe and starts going over it with a microscanner::
CSO_MacMe says:
::The science lab data is patched through to the bridge science console::
CMO_Senn says:
@::turns back to the others:: XO: We should try again, sir. The power cell of that phaser might keep the Bynars safe for a while, but not for long. Never mind the quitter here ::points to KTracht::
AensKayan says:
::opens up the side panel and begins some minor alterations and programming::
CSO_MacMe says:
::Noting the complexity of the particle and the electric currents involved, I direct the tech to magnetize the plate under the particles::
XOBryant says:
@CMO: go ahead if you wish Doctor... I hope that it's more effective this time.
AensKayan says:
TO:  So Pete, where are you from.  ::alters a wiring::
Host CO_Ross says:
::corrects Engineering I/O to the M/ARC and increases the Hull's Integrity Field gaining additional power by taking the replicators off line::
Host KTracht says:
ACTION: The Sci tech pours some component on the plate to react with the metal.
Host KTracht says:
ACTION: As a part of his tests.
CMO_Senn says:
@XO: I was hoping you'd come with me. Two is better than one... I am about run off ideas.
XOBryant says:
@CMO: I'd be glad to.
FCO_Joe says:
CO: Understood
TO_Buonmo says:
Kayan: I am from Earth, I used to live in NJ
Host KTracht says:
ACTION: Ross' strategy only delays the inevitable. The Artemis' hull is being dissolved. Slowly...
CSO_MacMe says:
::Watching pattern in the modulation from the particles::
AensKayan says:
::reaches her arm in and makes another minor configuration, mumbling::  how did I get this job?
CMO_Senn says:
@::nods and starts walking carefully with the XO:: XO: Sir... I want to know first how far it will let us go. And I don't think that I'd like that Klingon if I were a cloud...
TO_Buonmo says:
::changes circuitry board a with d::
AensKayan says:
TO:  I have never been to earth.  I have heard about it of course.
FCO_Joe says:
CO: Sir, I suggest we do this quickly
Host KTracht says:
ACTION : The particles seem to leave the metal once the reactant touches the metal pate
CSO_MacMe says:
CO: While we're trying to figure out these particles.  Do you think streaming out a non-metal gas might make the anomaly back off a bit?
XOBryant says:
@::::Smiles at the doctor:::: CMO: well Klingons aren't known for being likeable.
CMO_Senn says:
@::smiles back:: XO: Do you  have any telepathy skills that are not in your file? I don't know if this... being... can hear us.
AensKayan says:
TO:  OK, I think I am about finished with this one.  ::closes the panel::  I just hope this idea works.
Host KTracht says:
ACTION: They become dormant. Their electric currents down to minimal.
TO_Buonmo says:
Kayan: I need 1 more second with this one
Host CO_Ross says:
FCO: We have to wait for the probes to be beamed to their positions, else we will collide with the cloud particles....
AensKayan says:
*CSO*:  Jason, we are about done down here.
CMO_Senn says:
@::clutching the commbadge in her hand, but knowing that the metal particles are still being taken by the cloud::
CSO_MacMe says:
::Looking back at lab results, I send message to lab tech --What did you do?::
XOBryant says:
@CMO: not a bit Doc, we can only hope that it can communicate some other way.
TO_Buonmo says:
::finishes with the probe and closes the panel:: done
CMO_Senn says:
@::nods at the XO:: XO: I'm afraid we're in the same situation. *If* it's a being... ::extends her hand again to the cloud... and wonders if to say something or not::
CSO_MacMe says:
CO: Sir, the probes are almost ready, should we launch?
Host CO_Ross says:
CSO: Launch at your convenience Mr. MacMer
CSO_MacMe says:
CO: Something that occurred in the lab is that the particles seem neutralized by... rust.
AensKayan says:
::Nods to Pete::  *CSO*:  We are done.  Ready when you are.
FCO_Joe says:
::gets ready to move the ship::
XOBryant says:
@CMO: Well it certainly seems to exhibit intelligence and seems to feed on metal.
Host CO_Ross says:
CSO: Just rust particles?
CSO_MacMe says:
CO: Aye, sir, the probes are ready.
CSO_MacMe says:
CO: Aye, rust.
CMO_Senn says:
@::nods at the XO and wonders if he'll laugh at her forever for this:: Cloud: Hello...?
Host CO_Ross says:
CSO: So then,.............what do you propose?
CSO_MacMe says:
CO: Lets do the probes.  Then see if we need to vent out some.... rust.
AensKayan says:
TO:  I wonder what they are doing up there?  Ready to head back to the bridge?
CMO_Senn says:
@::blushes and looks at the XO almost as if in apology:: XO: I guess verbal communication is not it. Maybe a signal using the one phaser that is still working? ::points to the Bynars:: Although that might compromise their situation...
TO_Buonmo says:
Kayan: yeah I know, better get back to my tactical station
Host CO_Ross says:
CSO: Very well then, beam your probes out
CSO_MacMe says:
CO: Aye, sir.
XOBryant says:
@CMO: I don't see how it could make it any worse.
CSO_MacMe says:
Kayan: Stand back from the probes, transporting them now.  ::setting up transport to the coordinates Kayan had set up::
CMO_Senn says:
@XO: Just by taking the field away from the Bynars. I suppose the phasers and tricorders by him are being protected by it as well... maybe we can try to make them work, and keep the field around the Bynars.
AensKayan says:
TO:  Yea, maybe after we take care of this, you might come join me and some friends for lunch, assuming we do not become lunch ourselves here.
TO_Buonmo says:
Kayan: sounds great
Host CO_Ross says:
FCO: Mr. Teasley, as soon as you see the cloud dissipate enough for us to move, do so
AensKayan says:
::nods as they enter the bridge::
Host KTracht says:
@CMO: Here.. ::the Klingon hands the CMO a small energy cell... Made out of plastic components::
CSO_MacMe says:
::While keeping an eye on the anomaly, hoping the polarization trick works, starts a work up on venting a gaseous form of rust (oxidized iron)::
FCO_Joe says:
CO: Aye sir
TO_Buonmo says:
::exits turbolift and takes tactical station::
AensKayan says:
::heads back over to the science station, looking over Jason’s arm to see what he is doing::
XOBryant says:
@CMO: sooner or later the power will run out.... we need a better and more permanent solution doc.
CMO_Senn says:
@::takes the energy cell from KTracht... speechless:: KTracht: Thank  you... ::about to start working, but turns back to him... about to say something::
CSO_MacMe says:
Kayan: We did a lab on some of the particles, and rust seems to deactivate them.
CMO_Senn says:
@KTracht: You and I will have a talk... later.
Host KTracht says:
@::he just nods::
