Ops:  Can you pinpoint the source of the transmissions?

Eng_Ens_Klord:
::pushes jaw back in place::

Ens_Daria_Longly:
::Oh my God! How did all of the comm badges get there?::

Ens_Daria_Longly:
Lt:  One moment

Ens_Daria_Longly:
Lt.:  The frequencies are coming from an area within the second planet

Lt_Carson:
CO: perhaps we can drop the shields and transport on or two onboard for engineering to study?

Ens_Shore:
<Computer>:::blah,blah,blah::: thank you computer

Ens_Daria_Longly:
Lt Walters:  I will try to narrow it down

Cnslr_Rockman:
Longly: try to filter out the individual frequencies to get a fix on one only.

Lt_Walters_ActingXO:
Longly:  Noted.

Cmdr_Winston_actingCO:
carson: that might be an idea... 

Lt_Carson:
::stands at alert and waiting further orders::

Cnslr:  I have a fix..It worked

Ens_Shore:
:::gets up and walks into Med Bay:::

Ens_Daria_Longly:
Cmdr:  No sir an area just above

Cnslr_Rockman:
Longly: are they emmiting a distress signal?

Eng_Ens_Klord:
CO; if I can get one com badge maybe I can identify which ship it came from

Lt_Carson:
::lowers the volume from the badges but tries to filter out some of the static::

Ens_Shore:
:::starts inventoring all medicines:::: 1,2,3

Eng_Ens_Klord:
CO : no noticable effect so far

Mark_AGM:
<COMM-BADGE SIGNAL> *SQUAWK*... is Lieutenant Fredrickson.. can anyone hear me?

Ens_Daria_Longly:
Cmdr:  The signal was distorted due to an atmospheric interference

Cmdr_Winston_actingCO:
*Klord: can engineering prepare one probe to retireve one or two comm badges?

Lt_Carson:
::looks up in surprise::

Lt_Walters_ActingXO:
CO:  I'd recommend we retrieve it to a secured area.

Lt_Carson:
CO; We are getting a transmission over the comm band.

Cmdr_Winston_actingCO:
Longly: do a SF database on LT fredrichson please asap

Lt_Carson:
::widens comm band width::

Mark_AGM:
<CBS>  Fredrickson to Hecate, come in.  Anyone recieving this signal please respond.

Ens_Shore:
:::moves on to equipment::::

Ens_Daria_Longly:
Cmdr:  Aye

Eng_Ens_Klord:
CO: a probe might scatter them sir but we may be able to narrow the transporter beem enough

Cmdr_Winston_actingCO:
Walters:l bring up hte ship Hectate's records please

Cnslr_Rockman:
Longly: are there any relay signals to or from the combadges?  Of any frequencey?

Lt_Walters_ActingXO:
Already on it, Sir.

Ens_Daria_Longly:
Cmdr:  Database reveals that Frederickson 12524 was a Starfleet Officer

Lt_Walters_ActingXO:
::punches a few keys::

Cmdr_Winston_actingCO:
Klord: run some simmulations and get TR2 ready in a stais field

Ens_Daria_Longly:
Cnslr:  I haven't found any as yet

Eng_Ens_Klord:
CO I agree with LT waltrs. we should beem it to a containment field

Cmdr_Winston_actingCO:
walters: find anything on the Hectate?

Lt_Walters_ActingXO:
Sir:  Hecate records should be on your console now.  Norway Class vessel, under construction.  Current location Souther Cross Fleet Yards, Pluto

Cmdr_Winston_actingCO:
Lonlgy: try to get a small sample of the other com badge signals? 

Mark_AGM:
<CBS> Anyone receiving this signal, this is Henry Fredrickson of the Hecate, please respond.

Cnslr_Rockman:
::mumbles::so the crew from a ship that has not yet been built is or has been in this system?

Ens_Daria_Longly:
XO:  Is it possible that we are caught in a time warp continuium?

Eng_Ens_Klord:
CO:TR2 ready to beam in Sir

Cmdr_Winston_actingCO:
Walters: do a search of henry Fredrickson.. see if its even there.... possibly look for Ltjg or Ens as well

Lt_Walters_ActingXO:

Lt_Walters_ActingXO:
::shrugs and points to console again:: CO:  see for yourself.

Cmdr_Winston_actingCO:
walters: Im sure the data is correct... its just odd....

Cnslr_Rockman:
CO: it's possible that someone has falsified these badges to imitate the Hectate crew.

Ens_Shore:
<Computer> update on what is happening on the bridge please

Lt_Walters_ActingXO:
::sits back and considers::

Ens_Daria_Longly:
Lt. Walters:  shall we check another comm badge?

Lt_Carson:
::shakes head at all the comm transmissions::

Eng_Ens_Klord:
Longly :let me know when you have one isolated

Cmdr_Winston_actingCO:
walters; do a database search on that name/ship as well... 

Lt_Walters_ActingXO:
Sir:  On it already.

Cmdr_Winston_actingCO:
Cnslr: noted... actually thats a great job for you to do Cnslr.. proceed

Ens_Daria_Longly:
Eng:  I have isolated comm badge for your check.  Do you want to beam it aboard?

Cnslr_Rockman:
CO: Will do.  Are you going to respond to any of these signals?

Cmdr_Winston_actingCO:
Longly: lets wait for a second please

Ens_Shore:
<Computer> keep me updated on the mission please

Eng_Ens_Klord:
Ops lets beam it directly to the eng. labs

Ens_Daria_Longly:
Cmdr: Aye Sir

Cmdr_Winston_actingCO:
Rockman: im not sure yet.. there is a chance that we could violate teh PD

Ens_Shore:
<Computer> aye CMO

Cnslr_Rockman:
::moves over to science two and begins to conform it to a comm board::

Ens_Daria_Longly:
Eng Klord:  Cmdr asked me to wait

Cmdr_Winston_actingCO:
Rockman; we will resond with standard SF protocol 

Ens_Daria_Longly:
Cmdr:  I have isolated a third comm signal

Lt_Walters_ActingXO:
Sir:  Watanabee is the chief designer for an experimental starship, class Aeolus, current location; Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards

Cnslr_Rockman:
::nods to CO::

Ens_Daria_Longly:
Cmdr:  Aye sir

Lt_Walters_ActingXO:
::begins running database search to identify possible connections::

Lt_Walters_ActingXO:
:;tweaks a few search parameters

Cmdr_Winston_actingCO:
Cnslr: do you sense anything within the comm signals. like attitude. urgency... 

Ens_Daria_Longly:
Cmdr:  I have adjusted the computer signals to isolate each one individually and I think I may be able to upload the data

Cnslr_Rockman:
::turns to CO with a confused look:: why would I sense anything?  I'm only human.

Ens_Shore:
:::enters all inventory data into padd::::

Mark_AGM:
<CBS3> This is Commander Winston of the USS Callisto, to any Federation starship or Starbase, please respond.

Cmdr_Winston_actingCO:
Longly: great. have the computer run several.. store all the data

Lt_Carson:
XO: each comm badge is set to each person's bio field, heart beat, etc, If we beam one on board perhaps the CMO can gather the data that migh help locate these crewmembers?

Cmdr_Winston_actingCO:
:::stares dead into the screen.. eyes opened widely mouth open:

Cmdr_Winston_actingCO:
CnslrL.. :::mutters:: fine.............

Ens_Shore:
:::looks up with surprise::::<Computer> could you repeat that again?

Cmdr_Winston_actingCO:
Longly: have the computer do more searches..... 

Ens_Daria_Longly:
CMO:  Are you getting bio readings on the comms?

Ens_Shore:
:::shakes head::::now this is getting confusing how could the Cmdr. comm badge be outside when he is on the bridge?

Ens_Daria_Longly:
Cmdr:  Aye sir

Eng_Ens_Klord:
CO; Sir you've got to let me get my hands on one of these!!!

Cmdr_Winston_actingCO:
Longly: has the cloud gained in size?

Ens_Daria_Longly:
Computer: Search the entire planetary area for more signals

Mark_AGM:
<CBS4> Please respond... anyone please... 

Cnslr_Rockman:
CO: could these be holographic replications?

Cmdr_Winston_actingCO:
Lonlgy: no standard SF response on "my" request

Lt_Walters_ActingXO:
::orders response comm to CBS4::

Ens_Daria_Longly:
Cmdr:  The comm signals seem to be contained within the original metallic cloud

Ens_Shore:
Ens. Longley: sorry was doing inventory....will get right to that for you

Eng_Ens_Klord:
cnslr: the scanners would detect that

Ens_Daria_Longly:
Cmdr:  Sorry sir

Cnslr_Rockman:
::shrugs shoulders::it was only an idea...

Cmdr_Winston_actingCO:
*klord: prepare a probe to be launched into the cloud.... and retrieve a random comm badge. put in it containment

Cmdr_Winston_actingCO:
Klord: do you have the probe ready?

Lt_Walters_ActingXO:
Carson:  Take over the database search for Taylor Uric, Callisto C.  See if you can tie it in to any of the other data obtained from the badges.

Ens_Daria_Longly:
Cmdr:  These signals seem to come from ships that are not yet built

Lt_Carson:
CO: There is currently no Callisto other than our own, no A, B, C, or D sir

Cmdr_Winston_actingCO:
Klord: very well.. find a space in wich the probe will fit and beam it there.... 

Ens_Daria_Longly:
Cmdr:  There are a total of 28, 293 comm badges
