USS CHARLOTTETOWN MISSION TRANSCRIPT – 10605.19

Host Bob_FM says:
AFTER CHASING DOWN THE SHUTTLE THAT ESCAPED FROM STARBASE 245 AND WITNESSING IT SELF-DESTRUCT WHEN THE USS HAWK INTERVENED TO ASSIST IN ITS CAPTURE, THE USS CHARLOTTETOWN WAS ORDERED TO COLLECT THE DEBRIS, ANALYSE IT AND DELIVER IT TO THE NEAREST STARBASE WHILE ENROUTE TO ITS NEW DUTY AREA – THE VICINITY OF STARBASE 185. THE CAPTAIN REVIEWS THE STAR CHARTS AND COMES TO THE REALIZATION OF JUST HOW FAR OUT OF THE WAY HE AND HIS CREW ARE BEING SENT.

:: on the bridge at the helm watching their course and speed ::
CEO_Turnbull says:
::steps off the lift onto the bridge, then takes over at the engineering console::
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: sees the chief and nods :: CEO: Hello chief.
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: turns to the Captain :: CO: Holding course, warp 6.5 sir.
CEO_Turnbull says:
::smiles in return of greeting:: FCO: Hello, Commander. How is everything? Still working properly?
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CEO: Seems to be Commander. Your people do nice work. :: grins ::
CO_Shras says:
FCO: ETA to Starbase 185?
CO_Shras says:
CEO: Have you had time to look at the shuttle debris?
CEO_Turnbull says:
FCO: We have talent down there, and personally I'm glad to see it.
CO_Shras says:
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: If we increase to maximum warp, twenty-one days Sir, not counting any stops we make along the way, but I recommend not pushing the engines that hard yet. At cruise speed – about three months, Sol time.
CEO_Turnbull says:
CO: Not myself, but I have teams going over every shred that we retrieved.
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Captain, what do you expect to find in the debris?
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: adjusts their flight plan slightly to compensate for variances ::
CO_Shras says:
FCO: Keep our current speed
CO_Shras says:
FCO: I'd like to know more about who the occupants might have been
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: turns and looks at the CEO :: CEO: By the way, I'm Hope. I don't believe we've met yet.
CO_Shras says:
CEO: If they find any computer part let them look for logs or communications records
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Any theories Captain?
CEO_Turnbull says:
CEO: I don't think we have either. I'm Tyria.
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CEO: A pleasure Tyria.
CEO_Turnbull says:
CO: Of course, Captain. ::sends message to the teams studying the debris::
CEO_Turnbull says:
FCO: Same here. I believe we came aboard about the same time, didn't we?
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CEO: I think you're right. I was back on Earth for a while after the Vesuvius was put in dry-dock. I am happy to be back on a ship though.
CEO_Turnbull says:
FCO: I am too, though I admit to being a little lost down in engineering. I'll get into the swing of it, but it's been a long time since taking qualification exams.
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: laughs :: CEO: I was in the science department for years.
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: leans over and whispers to OPS :: OPS: Anything on the channels?
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
<Duty_OPS>FCO: No, and that's scary. There should be some subspace chatter.
CEO_Turnbull says:
::shakes her head:: FCO: That would be up my husbands alley... though he was quite at home in the pilots seat.
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CEO: Ah so he's a pilot.
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: nods to OPS :: OPS: Well keep listening. You just never know what you might pick up.
CEO_Turnbull says:
FCO: He was a pilot for a long time, for now he's stationed on Earth.
CEO_Turnbull says:
FCO: And the last contact I had with him he was on special assignment
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CEO: You must miss him a great deal. Hard to keep a relationship together out here.
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: looks over her shoulder :: CO: Captain, anything else you want check out since we seem to have a long journey ahead of us?
CEO_Turnbull says:
FCO: No, it's not easy, but we've been together a long time, and have spent a lot of time apart.
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CEO: You are a lucky lady Tyria to have such an understanding man. :: smiles ::
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Captain, I show all clear of traffic in this sector. Only a few stray asteroids, but none that are directly in the ship's path.
CEO_Turnbull says:
FCO: I've always felt that way. What about you?
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CEO: Long story, but there's no one in my life at the moment.
CEO_Turnbull says:
FCO: I'm sorry to hear that... if you ever need to talk, please don't hesitate.
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CEO: Thanks, maybe I will sometime. :: smiles slightly again ::
CEO_Turnbull says:
::reads a message from the teams in the cargo bay: CO: Captain, they've found parts of the computer system, but what they have found has been scrubbed. They'll take it to the science lab to see if anything can be retrieved, but nothing easily.
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CEO: Any signs of bio matter?
CEO_Turnbull says:
::nods:: FCO: Lots of it,
CEO_Turnbull says:
CO/FCO: We'll start running DNA traces to see what we can get.
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: brings up the display from the science console :: CEO: I wonder if ...was just thinking the same thing.
CEO_Turnbull says:
FCO: Considering what we retrieved through the transporters, I have a feeling the traces will link.
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: looks over the data closely :: CEO: This is interesting.
CEO_Turnbull says:
FCO: What did you find?
CO_Shras says:
CEO: That will be interesting, maybe we will learn what race were the attackers
CEO_Turnbull says:
FCO: Yes, there are similar traces to what we retrieved via the transporters, I'll try to get detailed DNA to confirm the species.
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CEO: Well if you look at the DNA sequences, you'll see that there are signs of many species.
CEO_Turnbull says:
::looks over the information:: FCO: How many people was this shuttle carrying? I see traces of Romulan, Klingon, Orion, Human
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CEO: Retrieving our logs on the contact now.
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CEO: The log record shows six occupants.
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CEO: Do you think that this may have been a joint assassination attempt?
