Host Jules says:
When last we left the intrepid crew of Avalon, all but the Captain were on the USS Hydra on their way to scout the surrounding area.

Host Jules says:
Will they find Admiral MacLeod or are they on a wild goose chase.....let's find out.

OPS_Lt_Sachs says:
@::Tapping her fingers over her console, working away::

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
<Grey> CTO: How are you feeling?

EO_LtJG_Thomson says:
<Murphy> ::continuing his chatter:: EO/Rolen: ... which means we only have half a dozen things left on the maintenance list.

CTO_Cmdr_Paladine_Sky says:
Grey: I am functioning within normal parameters

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
<Grey>::punches several buttons on the monitor::

EO_LtJG_Thomson says:
<Rolen> ::rolls eyes:: Murphy: I thought you would have learned by now that the maintenance list never ends.  It just keeps going and going and going...

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
<Grey>::looks at the results:: CTO: I think you're right, I can't find anything wrong with you.

CTO_Cmdr_Paladine_Sky says:
Grey: I will retire to my quarters to meditate

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
<Grey>CTO: You may, however if you feel feverous or the wound gets infected, I want you back here

EO_LtJG_Thomson says:
::jabs rolen in the arm:: Rolen: Of course it does.  What else would we do? ::laughs just as the main engineering doors whooshed open::

CTO_Cmdr_Paladine_Sky says:
::leaves Sickbay::

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
<Grey> ::watches the CTO leave Sickbay and shakes his head, wondering what Victoria sees in him::

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
@::paces sickbay and decides she can't stand it any longer and must know what their mission is::

Host CO_Kinsale says:
*EO* I want you and Rolen to inspect the cargo holds of the Ferengi trader ship "Tuleft".  Docking bay 4. Please inspect the hidden holds as well.  Something's not quite right about how anxious they are to depart.

CSO_Ens_Hawkes says:
@ Helm:  Helm, make your course 051 by 220 by 001 and engage at warp one.

EO_LtJG_Thomson says:
::walks over to the master control display just as the CO comms:: CO: Yes, ma'am.  ::looks at Rolen:: We'll get right on that.

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
@::leaves sickbay and moves to the closest turbolift:: TL: Bridge.

CTO_Cmdr_Paladine_Sky says:
::enters quarters which are at -10 degrees F:: Aloud: Paws!

CIV_Cmdr_C_V_Turner says:
@::Putters around the bridge::

CSO_Ens_Hawkes says:
@<Helm>  CSO: Aye sir, course set.  Accelerating to warp one

EO_LtJG_Thomson says:
Murphy: I guess that leaves you to finish here.  Rolen: Ready?  ::sees Rolen nod and heads back out of engineering::

CTO_Cmdr_Paladine_Sky says:
<Snowpaws> Paladine: Hey, its balmy in here

CTO_Cmdr_Paladine_Sky says:
::gets under covers:: Paws: Come here you fluffy bear

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
@::exits the turbolift and enters the bridge, just standing at the back::

CSO_Ens_Hawkes says:
@<Helm>  CSO: Sir, that will put us inline for Helios, an H Class planet.

Host CO_Kinsale says:
*CTO* I need you to accompany the Engineering team to inspect a fishy story going on about the Ferengi cargo holds of the "Tuleft".  Docking Bay 4.  Please contact Thomson and arrange to meet her team.

CSO_Ens_Hawkes says:
@ Helm:  That's right.  

EO_LtJG_Thomson says:
TL: Docking bay ::leans against the wall as the turbolift whisks them away::

CSO_Ens_Hawkes says:
@<Helm>  CSO: I took my Starfleet survival training there.

CSO_Ens_Hawkes says:
@ Helm:  Nice Place?

CSO_Ens_Hawkes says:
@<Helm>  CSO: If you like temperatures in the high fifties, no humidity, abrasive sand storms.

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
::walks down and stand behind the CSO::

CTO_Cmdr_Paladine_Sky says:
*CO* Yes Ma'am

OPS_Lt_Sachs says:
@::Works at the OPS station, waiting for further orders to pass the time...::

CTO_Cmdr_Paladine_Sky says:
*EO* I will meet you in Docking Bay 4

CSO_Ens_Hawkes says:
@ Helm:  Ever been to the science outpost that was set up there?

CTO_Cmdr_Paladine_Sky says:
::changes and leaves quarters::

EO_LtJG_Thomson says:
::looks at Rolen and shrugs, having thought this was a simple mission:: *CTO*: Understood, sir.

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
@::leans over the CSO's chair and whispers:: CSO: care to brief me on our mission?

CSO_Ens_Hawkes says:
@<Helm>  CSO: Never saw it myself, heard its abandoned, a few years now.

CTO_Cmdr_Paladine_Sky says:
*EO* Please arm your team and issue them hand phasers

CSO_Ens_Hawkes says:
@::is startled by the CMO::  CMO:  Commander, sorry didn't see you there.

CSO_Ens_Hawkes says:
@CMO:  We...  Ahh, we are enroute to Helios, the H Class Planet the Admiral should be on.  ETA is...

CTO_Cmdr_Paladine_Sky says:
Turbolift: Docking Bay 4

CSO_Ens_Hawkes says:
@<Helm>  CSO: 25 minutes sir.

CSO_Ens_Hawkes says:
@CMO:  25 minutes.

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
@::looks at the CSO and moves around to take a seat::

EO_LtJG_Thomson says:
*CTO*: Phasers, sir?  I thought we were just checking some cargo?

CSO_Ens_Hawkes says:
@CMO:  Apart from that, I really don't know what to expect... I'm not sure I can do this Ma'am.  I wasn’t trained for this.

CTO_Cmdr_Paladine_Sky says:
*EO* The CO has requested my presence which means she believes there is a risk

CIV_Cmdr_C_V_Turner says:
@::Reaches under his console to manually adjust a display::

OPS_Lt_Sachs says:
@::Wonders what she’s doing on this mission, and pushes a few more buttons to check out ship systems::

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
@CSO: Consider it a leaning experience, Ensign.  You'll do fine.  You have a fine crew who will support you in any decision you make.

CIV_Cmdr_C_V_Turner says:
@::Pulls something out from the console:: Self: Oooooo that's not good.

EO_LtJG_Thomson says:
*CTO: Aye, sir.  Phasers it is.  Rolen: I think we should have let Murphy do this one.

CSO_Ens_Hawkes says:
@CMO:  Its the decision part I have a problem with.

CTO_Cmdr_Paladine_Sky says:
*EO* Please bring heavy duty scanners and tricorders

EO_LtJG_Thomson says:
::exits the turbolift, with Rolen in tow, and stops outside the docking bay to open a locker and get out the necessary equipment::

EO_LtJG_Thomson says:
<Rolen> ::gives Thomson an 'I guess we look like dumb engineers' look::

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
@::smiles:: CSO: you'll do fine.

Host CO_Kinsale says:
::drumming her fingers on the arm of the big chair::

EO_LtJG_Thomson says:
::tries not to laugh as she replies to the CTO:: *CTO*: Of course, sir.  We are getting our equipment now and will be ready in a few minutes.

CTO_Cmdr_Paladine_Sky says:
$::enters Ferengi ship::

Host CO_Kinsale says:
::really hating waiting to hear about away team mission reports after the fact::

CTO_Cmdr_Paladine_Sky says:
$::waiting for EO::

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
@::calls up the mission orders on a PADD::

CSO_Ens_Hawkes says:
@::resumes scanning::  CMO: I have the planet on long range sensors, still too far out for a detailed scan...  Not picking up any life signs yet.

CIV_Cmdr_C_V_Turner says:
@::Holds up his new found treasure:: All: Anyone know if we reeeeeeeally need this? ::Grins sheepishly::

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
@::taps her fingernail against her front teeth as she reads the details::

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
@::looks up::

EO_LtJG_Thomson says:
::hands some equipment to Rolen and then straightens up:: Rolen: After you ::waves her arm towards the ship::

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
@CSO: Place it on screen so we can get a look at it?

CSO_Ens_Hawkes says:
@::cues the image to the main viewer::

EO_LtJG_Thomson says:
$::sees the CTO already there:: CTO: Sir.

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
@::looks up and moves to a station where she can download the particulars of this Class H planet::

Host Jules says:
ACTION:  The CTO and EO are on the ship and away from the station.

CSO_Ens_Hawkes says:
@ CMO:  There's no vessels in orbit, just an old Federation relay satellite, its not operational.

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
@::nods::

Host CO_Kinsale says:
::wondering how other Captains manage to wait without developing a caffeine addiction::

CTO_Cmdr_Paladine_Sky says:
$EO: Please begin scanning, I will guard you

EO_LtJG_Thomson says:
$::raises eyebrows and then nods to Rolen:: CTO: Aye, sir ::moves to the opposite end of the bay from Rolen and begins scanning::

Host Jules says:
ACTION:  As the Tuleft clears 2500 km mark an enormous explosion is detected.

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
@CSO: could we download the data from that satellite? Might something be of use?

CIV_Cmdr_C_V_Turner says:
@::Nonchalantly places the piece back where he thinks it should go::

CSO_Ens_Hawkes says:
@::scans the satellite::  CMO:  There's some reserve power.  I suppose we could try to access its memory core.

Host Jules says:
ACTION:  Avalon Station no longer registers on sensors.

CTO_Cmdr_Paladine_Sky says:
$*CO* We have detached, request beam out

EO_LtJG_Thomson says:
$::stops scanning as she feels the ship move:: CTO: Sir?

CSO_Ens_Hawkes says:
@::tries to send an activation signal to the satellite::

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
@::looks at her scan of the planet::

CTO_Cmdr_Paladine_Sky says:
$EO: We have detached, please attempt to get the engines running we may be here for awhile

CTO_Cmdr_Paladine_Sky says:
$::begins to explore the ship::

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
@CSO: Any luck?

CSO_Ens_Hawkes says:
@ ::shakes head::  CMO:  I think its transceiver array might be damaged.  I'll try sending a different activation code

EO_LtJG_Thomson says:
$CTO: Aye, sir.  Rolen: Head up to the bridge.  I'll go to engineering.

CSO_Ens_Hawkes says:
@::sends different signal::

CTO_Cmdr_Paladine_Sky says:
$::heads for the bridge::

CTO_Cmdr_Paladine_Sky says:
$::glad everyone is armed::

EO_LtJG_Thomson says:
$<Rolen> ::heads to the bridge, right behind the CTO::

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
@CSO: Try sending a test signal to the station to see if the our equipment is working?

CSO_Ens_Hawkes says:
@::Shakes head::  CMO:  I think its a dead duck.

EO_LtJG_Thomson says:
$::quickly walks to engineering::

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
@::sighs:: CSO: we'll it was a shot in the dark.

CSO_Ens_Hawkes says:
@ CMO:  All-right.  ::reconfigures the signal and sends to Avalon::  Sending test signal.

CIV_Cmdr_C_V_Turner says:
@::Whistles:: Self: Wasn't me......

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
@::waits::

Host RAdm_Serok says:
ACTION:  The CSO gets no response from Avalon.

CSO_Ens_Hawkes says:
@::looks worried::  CMO:  Mmmmm, nothing.

EO_LtJG_Thomson says:
$::sees a Ferengi sleeping at a console:: FEO: Hey, wake up!  ::shakes him on the shoulder::

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
@::stands and walks over to the CSO:: CSO: Perhaps it is our equipment

CTO_Cmdr_Paladine_Sky says:
$::assumes command of the Ferengi ship::

CSO_Ens_Hawkes says:
@::sets a quick diagnostic on comm systems::

EO_LtJG_Thomson says:
<FEO> ::almost falls out of his chair:: All: Whaaa, what?

CSO_Ens_Hawkes says:
@CMO:  We're transmitting fine...  Receiving too,

CTO_Cmdr_Paladine_Sky says:
$::sits in the Ferengi comfy chair and wishes he had a Targ at his heels::

EO_LtJG_Thomson says:
::stands in front of the Ferengi, hands on hips:: FEO: We've just detached from Avalon.  Why?

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
@CSO: What do you suggest?

CTO_Cmdr_Paladine_Sky says:
$Ferengi: Please establish our position

CSO_Ens_Hawkes says:
@CMO: Got something else I want to check.

CTO_Cmdr_Paladine_Sky says:
$*EO* What is our power status?

CSO_Ens_Hawkes says:
@::scans short range for spatial anomalies::

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
@CSO: are we within scanning range of Avalon?

EO_LtJG_Thomson says:
$*CTO*: Sir, I'm just discussing that with the resident engineer.  I'll get back to you on that.  ::glares at the engineer:: FEO: You heard the man.  Let's look at the power grid.

CSO_Ens_Hawkes says:
@CMO: Yes should be.  ::re-tasks LRS and checks::  Yeah, still where it should be.

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
@::finger flicks a fly off the LRS scope::

CTO_Cmdr_Paladine_Sky says:
Comm: USS Hydra: I request you return to the station's last known position immediately priority one

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
@::hears the COMM::

EO_LtJG_Thomson says:
<FEO> $EO: Why should I help you?  You humans have stolen our ship, which means no profits for a lowly engineer.

CSO_Ens_Hawkes says:
@CMO:  I'm not reading any localized anomaly that could effect our...  Wha?  How'd you do that?

CTO_Cmdr_Paladine_Sky says:
$::scans for phase distortions::

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
@::shrugs, but walks over to activate the comm::

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
@COM: This is the Hydra, what is the situation, Commander Sky?

EO_LtJG_Thomson says:
$::pulls her phaser:: FEO: The choice is yours ::waggles it:: Assist me or I shoot.

CSO_Ens_Hawkes says:
@::listens::

CTO_Cmdr_Paladine_Sky says:
$::retransmits:: Comm: CMO: The station has vanished, there is not enough mass for its destruction, I request you return to pick us up and investigate

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
@::looks at the CSO::

CSO_Ens_Hawkes says:
@ CMO:  But we had the station on our sensors.

CSO_Ens_Hawkes says:
@::rechecks::

CTO_Cmdr_Paladine_Sky says:
$Comm: USS Hydra: I am detecting a large phase distortion and theorize the station is out of phase

EO_LtJG_Thomson says:
<FEO> $EO: You won't shoot. Humans are too weak, especially engineers ::falls to the floor as he is stunned::

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
@CSO: that was a fly on the screen.

EO_LtJG_Thomson says:
::Puts the phaser away:: Self: It'll be easier doing this by myself anyway.  ::looks over the various consoles and finds what looks like the power grid::

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
@COM: CTO: Send us your location.

CSO_Ens_Hawkes says:
@ CMO:  Wait a second.  I am getting a large phase distortion to aft.  Looks to be the same one Commander Sky is speaking of.

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
@CSO: Perhaps we should pick them up?

CTO_Cmdr_Paladine_Sky says:
$::transmits location::

CSO_Ens_Hawkes says:
@CMO:  Agreed.  

CSO_Ens_Hawkes says:
@HELM:  Helm, alter course to intercept.

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
@::receives the location and sends it to the helm officer::

CSO_Ens_Hawkes says:
@<HELM>::works flight controls::  Changing course.  Shall I increase speed as well?

CSO_Ens_Hawkes says:
@HELM:  Best possible speed Helm.

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
@Helm: what is our ETA?

CSO_Ens_Hawkes says:
@<HELM>  CSO:  Aye sir.  CMO:  3 minutes Commander

EO_LtJG_Thomson says:
$Self: This looks right ::looks at the next console:: Or maybe that one.  I'm going to have to learn some Ferengi for the next time.  ::looks back and forth between the two:: Yes, this is it.  I think.

CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
@COM: CTO: Our ETA  in 3 minutes.

Host RAdm_Serok says:
ACTION:  3 Romulan Bird of Prey de-cloak directly in between where Avalon used to be and the Hydra and Tuleft.
