CTO_Cmdr_Hebert says:
:: finishing his security sweep of the market area - walks towards the turbolift ::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::in operations, manning science one station, attempting to pull in more information from the probes launched into the storm::

Faral_Saen says:
::sitting in a cafe on the Promenade sipping Raktajino with friends::

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
::wonders if anyone else has been transported around the ship.::

EO_LT_B`Renak says:
::has hands full in engineering::

CTO_Cmdr_Hebert says:
:: mutters something about the storm and then tells the lift to take him to Operations ::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::taps com badge:: *SO_Murray*:  Hawks to Murray.  How you coming with lateral array?

Faral_Saen says:
~~~Friend1: This is very interesting...I've never been far from Betazed before...~~~

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
::In Operations::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
<SO_Murray> *CSO*:  Almost there boss, give me five more minutes and it should be right as rain.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
*SO_Murray*:  I'm holding you to five minutes.  Hawkes out.!

Host Jules says:
ACTION:  Probes 2,3 & 5 disappear and reappear 2 km from where they were.

Faral_Saen says:
<Friend2> ~~~Faral:  Yes, you'll find that entering Starfleet will open up all kinds of new horizons for you.~~~  ::smiles and sips Vulcan Spice Tea::

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: I don’t like this.

CTO_Cmdr_Hebert says:
:: enters Operations and walks up to his console ::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::starts to get probe telemetry, in reverse::  CO/XO:  Sirs, I've got probe telemetry back, but its feeding back in reverse.

Host Jules says:
ACTION:  Parts of the Promenade disappear along with the people in the areas that disappear.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::resets telemetry feed::

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
XO:  Have there been any other reports about persons being transported about the station?

EO_LT_B`Renak says:
::runs level 5 scans on the shield generators to make sure that they can handle the storm::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::initiates secondary sensor arrays to scan the storm for tachyon and chroniton emissions::

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: I haven’t heard anything yet.

CTO_Cmdr_Hebert says:
:: notices a drop in life signs from the Market and Promenade areas :: CSO: Do you see that population drop, Mr. Hawkes? Promenade area.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::checks internal sensors::  CTO:  Not sure what I'm reading.  Looks almost like they are winking out, phasing out maybe.

CTO_Cmdr_Hebert says:
:: taps his console attempting to see if there is a problem with internal sensors or security systems :: CSO: Possibly...

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CSO: What’s that Mr. Hawkes?

Host Jules says:
ACTION:  The parts of the station that just disappeared, have reappeared along with the people.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::checks secondary scan results::  

Faral_Saen says:
::slightly stunned and numb::  Self:  What...happened?

CTO_Cmdr_Hebert says:
:: notices his diagnostics come back as normal and the personnel have reappeared ::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
XO:  Sir, I'm going to go out on a limb here, and suggest that what we are dealing with is a rift of some kind, maybe a quantum tear. 

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CSO: What’s going on?

Faral_Saen says:
::rises clumsily::  Aloud:  I...I...I can't read...Help!  ::disoriented::

Faral_Saen says:
::stumbles around terrified::

Host Jules says:
<Sec_Loman>  Faral:  Excuse me, are you alright?

Faral_Saen says:
<Freind1:> ::dizzy::  I...cannot...sense...anything!

Faral_Saen says:
SEC:  I cannot...sense your mind!  I feel so sick...  ::loses lunch on SEC Loman::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
XO:  I'm picking up really high levels of tachyons emanating from the storm.  Could be a temporal event or a dimensional incursion into our domain.  I'm trying to find the event horizon, but the storm is making it difficult.

CTO_Cmdr_Hebert says:
:: is getting reports of people on the promenade becoming emotional and disoriented ::  *November_Sec_Team* Security Team, November, move to the promenade and reinstall order to any situations that may be arising.  Report in to me as soon as you know something.  Hebert, out.

Faral_Saen says:
<Friend2> Aloud: I... ::faints::

EO_LT_B`Renak says:
*CSO*: Sir is it a possibility we have been exposed to a dark matter phenomenon?

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CSO: Any type of Chroniton readings?

Host Jules says:
<Sec_Loman>  :: looks startled :: *Sickbay*  This is Security, we have an ill person on the Promenade.

Host Jules says:
ACTION:  Parts of Level 2 disappear.  Emergency power comes up.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
EO:  Could be, but dark matter is nearly impossible to scan for, we have to look for its effects on normal matter to detect it.

CTO_Cmdr_Hebert says:
XO: Sir, we have reports of casualties and emotional uprisings on the promenade, I have dispatched security.

EO_LT_B`Renak says:
*CSO*: Or possibly to a comic string of some type??

Faral_Saen says:
SEC:  You don't understand!  I should be able to hear everyone's thoughts! I'm Betazoid and a counselor!  ::starts to freak out::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
XO:  Not detecting chroniton emissions at this time sir.

Host Jules says:
<MO_O'ch> Sec: Bring them to sickbay.

Host Jules says:
<Sec_Loman>   *Sickbay* On my way.

Faral_Saen says:
SEC:  ::shakes SEC by the shoulders with absolute terror in his eyes::  I can't sense you at all!  it's like you not THERE!!!

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
EO:  Don't think its a string, or a string fragment.  At least its not producing recognizable effects   

Faral_Saen says:
SEC:  You should be THERE!  You're not there!!!

Host Jules says:
<Sec_Loman>   :: grabs the man by the shoulders :: Faral:  Calm down....come with me to sickbay.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
<SO_Murray>  *CSO*: Hawkes, Murray,  primary lateral array is online!

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CTO: What do you mean Uprisings?

EO_LT_B`Renak says:
::shakes head cause she can not sense anyone either::

Faral_Saen says:
::calms down::  SEC:  I'm...I'm sorry.  Help me with my friends...

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
*SO_Murray*:  Thank-you!  Now get your tail up here!

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::switches to primary sensors::

CTO_Cmdr_Hebert says:
XO: I am getting reports of people being really disoriented.  They are causing some problems... waiting on more reports now.

Host Jules says:
<Sec_Loman>   :: notices a few others having the same reaction :: *CTO*  Sir, we have a situation down here on the promenade.

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CTO: Very good

CTO_Cmdr_Hebert says:
*Loman* Explain, Mr. Loman.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::reissues the same scan but through the primary sensors::

Faral_Saen says:
SEC:  ::steadies himself and straightens his uniform::  I'm...I'm okay.  ::absolutely terrified::  I'll get my two friends to sickbay.  ::nods once and then heads off to a turbollift::

Host Jules says:
<Sec_Loman>   *CTO*: Sir, there is a Betazoid man here who has gotten physically ill and is claiming her can't sense me.  And there are several others reacting the same way.

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
XO:  I'm not feeling in my right mind at the moment.

CTO_Cmdr_Hebert says:
:: ponders :: *Loman* Understood, I have an extra security team heading to your position to help you.  Keep me informed.

Host Jules says:
ACTION:  Level 2 reappears, some of the equipment is now working in reverse.  Any beings with telepathic/empathic/telekinetic powers no longer have them.

CTO_Cmdr_Hebert says:
XO: Sir, there are reports that several telepathic people are experiencing mental issues according to my staff... they are being escorted to Sickbay at this time.

Host Jules says:
<Sec_Loman> *CTO*: Aye Sir.

EO_LT_B`Renak says:
:: still trying to cope with her own lack of abilities she closes her eyes and concentrates on what she was taught by her mother  and does indeed control and focus her mind on her work::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
CO:  Captain...  I'd like to send a graviton beam into the storm.  It should be effected by an distortion field that is in there.  And it would give us a chance to map its location and dimensions.

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
CSO:  Okay.

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: If you would like to step away I can keep an eye on things and let you know as soon as there are any changes.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::access emitter controls, configures for graviton pulse::

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
XO:  I'll stick around but keeps your eyes open for anything.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
ALL: charging emitter!

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: I haven’t closed em since this storm came into sensor range.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::taps fire button::  ALL:  Firing pulse.  ::monitors the effect::

CTO_Cmdr_Hebert says:
:: starts monitoring sensors for possible changes in the Ion storm as result to the beam ::

Host Jules says:
ACTION:  The graviton pulse is fired and the Storm increases.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::frowns::  Self:  That's not supposed to happen

CTO_Cmdr_Hebert says:
:: feels a shudder in the station as the storm reintensifies its strength ::

Host Jules says:
ACTION:  Parts of Level 6, 12 and 13 disappear.

CTO_Cmdr_Hebert says:
CSO:  Seems like everything with this storm is happening in reverse... How about the opposite of a graviton beam....

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::kills the graviton pulse,  looks over at the CTO, and smiles weakly::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
CTO:  Anti-gravity?

CTO_Cmdr_Hebert says:
:: ponders not really remembering much about sciences and ion storm reactions ::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
CTO:  It might work.  ::goes about reconfiguring the emitters::

CTO_Cmdr_Hebert says:
CSO: No... I mean like reversing the polarity or something... :: seems like he can't remember ::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
CTO:  Right, reversing the polarity will produce anti-gravitons...  In theory.

Host Jules says:
<Ens Keldon>  *XO*: Sir, part of level 12 is just.....gone, Sir.

CTO_Cmdr_Hebert says:
:: notices another drop in life signs from level 6, 12, and 13 :: XO: Sir, I've had another drop in life signs... from levels 6, 12, and 13.  I think it's just another glitch in the sensors...

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
::Frowns::

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: I suggest we send out a distress call

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
XO:  Should we send it out and to ourselves since things could be working in reverse?

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
<SO_Murray>  ::steps into operations and over to the CSO::  CSO:  Making things worse, aren't you?...  Anti-gravitons?

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
Ens Keldon: You are in charge of monitoring the stations status in respect to anything disappearing.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
SO_Murray:  Just get on the other console and give me a hand with the emitter.

CTO_Cmdr_Hebert says:
:: starts getting confirmed reports that there are actually gaps in the station - his jaw drops and he gawks at the report ::

Host Jules says:
ACTION: Levels 6, 12 and 13 reappear.  All the equipment is working in reverse.

CTO_Cmdr_Hebert says:
:: looks up from his console :: XO: Sir.. I have a confirmed report along with Ensign Keldon... There is some kind of shift in subspace... or temporal... or something that is actually causing the station to dissapear... people and machine are being altered at all levels.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
<SO_Murray>  ::signs into science two and starts to help::  Self:  CSO's, gotta hold them by the hand some days.  ::smiles::

CTO_Cmdr_Hebert says:
XO: Levels 6, 12, and 13 are back again, sir.

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CTO: Thank you.

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: I think we just need to send one

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CSO: How long till this thing passes?

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
XO:  Let's give it a try.

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CTO: Send out a distress call

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
XO:  Its...  Anchored in sir.  

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::nods to the SO, then turn to the CO:  CO:  Captain, I think we're ready to try an anti-graviton pulse.  Hopefully, it will have a reverse effect on the storm.

CTO_Cmdr_Hebert says:
XO: Aye, sir.  Attempting to send out a distress call on all frequencies.

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CSO: What do you mean anchored in?

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
CO:  Commence at once.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
XO:  Its movement is negligible. 

Host Jules says:
<OPS_H'lo> CO/XO:  Incoming distress call, Sirs.

CTO_Cmdr_Hebert says:
:: taps the console and starts sending out a distress call stating Avalon Station's current situation and the request for assistance - however, not to approach the station due to the ion storm ::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::nods to the SO::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
<SO_Murray>  ::nods back then turns to console::  All:  Charging emitters

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: If things don’t change and quick I believe we may have to abandon the station.

CTO_Cmdr_Hebert says:
self: In an ion storm?  :: shakes his head ::

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
OPS  H'LO:  Probably ours.

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
OPS H'LO:  Patch it through.

CTO_Cmdr_Hebert says:
:: plays the distress call on audio speakers ::  CO: Distress Call on speakers, sir.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
<SO_Murray>  ALL:  approaching discharge threshold...

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
<SO_Murray> ALL:  And firing!

Host Jules says:
ACTION:  The distress call is from Avalon Station, warning other vessels to stay clear.

CTO_Cmdr_Hebert says:
:: kills the audio ::

Host Jules says:
ACTION: The anti-graviton pulse if fired into the storm.  It begins to dissipate.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::looks to the CTO::  CTO:  You picked up a bounce back.  What the heck did it bounce back off?

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
<SO_Murray>  ALL:  Its having an effect.  Storm is beginning to dissipate!

CTO_Cmdr_Hebert says:
:: smiles at the CSO seeing the sensor report ::

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
CTO:  That wasn't the message you sent out, was it?

CTO_Cmdr_Hebert says:
CO: Partially... sir.  I asked for assistance... but warned all ships of the ion storm in this area.

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CSO: Fire it again!

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::nods to the SO::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
<SO_Murray>  ALL:  firing!

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
XO:  Looks like this storm will be messing with all of our systems.

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: It looks like it

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
ALL:  getting a new sensor reading...  Quantum resonance distortion...  And its fading off...  Like a door closing.

Host Jules says:
ACTION:  With the second firing, the Storm dissipates some more.

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CSO: Keep that beam firing!

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
<SO_Murray>  ALL:  Maintaining firing rate...  Emitters are starting to heat up.

CTO_Cmdr_Hebert says:
:: smiles again - we got this thing nicked this time... ::

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
SO: Don’t burn out those emitters but let’s lose the storm

Host Jules says:
ACTION:  A small section of Operations disappears.  The CTO with it.

CTO_Cmdr_Hebert says:
:: blinks and poofs ::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
<SO_Murray>  XO:  its going to be close, sir.

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
::Looks around::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
CTO: Commander!!!!

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
All: What the.......

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
<SO_Murray>  ::routes additional cooling elements to the emitters::

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
XO:  CTO, gone again,  hope he comes back this time.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
<SO_Murray> CSO: Sir, the emitters are nearing their thermal limits!

Host Jules says:
ACTION:  Operations reappears and so does the CTO, his uniform is on backwards.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
SO:  Spit on them for a few more minutes.  ::scans for the CTO's com badge::

CTO_Cmdr_Hebert says:
:: starts coughing his uniform feeling real tight ::

CTO_Cmdr_Hebert says:
Aloud: What the...

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
::relieved.::

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CTO: Are you ok?

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::looks to the CTO::  CTO:  Hey, there you are...  Nice trip?

Host Jules says:
ACTION:  The storm dissipates completely.  A bright flash of light fills Operations.

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
::Blinded momentarily::

CO_Capt_Rushing says:
::holds hand to shield eyes::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
<SO_Murray>  ::powers down the emitters and sighs::

CTO_Cmdr_Hebert says:
:: closes his eyes while trying to rip his collar some so he can breath better ::

CTO_Cmdr_Hebert says:
:: stretches his collar, takes a gasp of air and continues shielding his eyes from the light ::

XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
::Opens his eyes:: All: What was that?

Host Jules says:
