"Out of The Darkness..."

Episode 1:  Are We There Yet?

Summary:

At this point in time, Starfleet Command has dispatched the USS Scorpius to investigate the last known location of Kootenai station because it had lost contact with the station.

The USS Scorpius has been underway to that location for just over a week, during which Captain Horn has had her Baby and is just returning to duty.

Temporal, spatial, and dimensional distortions have been detected and reported in the area where Kootenai was last reported to be.

We join both crews now as they attempt to figure out just what in the Galaxy is going on...because one thing is for certain....

They ain't in Kansas anymore, Dorothy...

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Begin Inaugural Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@ :: on the bridge at an empty station ::

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
@::Sitting in the chair to the right of the Captains chair, on the bridge of the Scorpius::

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
@::in her office, looking over the last reports to have been sent her way::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::at engineering console in Ops, trying to fix a few things::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Standing at the Operations station in Main Operations trying to get the power fluctuations under control:: CO: Sir, we're headed for a system wide power failure!  ::Taps furiously at the console::

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
@::finishes reading and heads out of her office, wondering about their progress::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@::in her quarters holding her new daughter ... J'ael

ACTION:  The power core on the station fluctuates wildly, endangering containment of the M/ARA core

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: Sir, I'm working on rerouting power from all non-essential systems to the main computer and main power systems.

OPS_Ens_S_Chambers says:
@ ::at Operations he attempts to Hail Kootenai station::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
OPS/CEO: Take every drop of available power, even from life support, and reroute it to the structural integrity field and shielding.

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
@::enters the nearest lift once it arrives:: Computer: Bridge

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
@OPS: Any response from Kootenai?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::jumps to MSD console, and taps desperately::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@::puts J'ael, who is sleeping contentedly, into her crib and changes into her uniform.  Heads for the bridge::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
CO: All incoming traffic has been diverted away from the station.  All outbound vessels are trying to launch as best they can.

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
@::steps out of the lift a few moments later::

OPS_Ens_S_Chambers says:
@::looks grim:: XO: Response, No Commander, I am not even sure it is getting there.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::notices something:: CO: Sir, we have an incoming comm signal.  It's garbled, but it seems to be coming from a USS Scorpius.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: Enhance it and put it through.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Manning the Operations station:: CO: Acknowledged.  ::Tries to reroute power to the structural integrity field and shielding::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: Enhancing. ::puts the comm signal through the computer to enhance signal::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@::reading up on Kootenai Station while she enters the lift and literally bumps into the CNS::

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
@::turns quickly when she is bumped:: CO: Captain, my apologies, are you all right?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::moves next to CEO's console, perking ears::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@::smiles:: CNS:  I'm fine, Counselor, and a lot thinner.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: I'll try to reply... COMM: Scorpius: This is Kootenai Station; we can barely read you, over.

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
@::returns the Captain's smile:: CO: And much more comfortable, no doubt.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@ :: checking long-range sensors ::

OPS_Ens_S_Chambers says:
@XO: Sir, Permission to send orders to Engineering Teams to shield our core from spatial disruption sir. It will take a bit more power from minor systems but extra shielding may be prudent sir?

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@CNS:  Indeed.

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
@CIV Serok: Serok, are you checking the long-range sensors, by any chance?

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
@::Moves toward one of the secondary science consoles:: CO: How is the little one?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: Try to correct it by 0.5Mhz..

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: Yes, sir.  ::makes adjustment and tries again:: COMM: Scorpius: This is Kootenai Station.  Scorpius, can you read?

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@ :: looks up :: XO:  Yes Commander, I am.  I am reading a spatial distortion.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Slams her fists on the console as it flickers and shouts:: CO: It's no good, Sir.  I can't reroute anything anywhere!

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@::walks towards the command center:: CNS:  She's fine.  Sleeping like a baby at the moment ::grins::

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
@CIV Serok: Location, and are we in any danger from it at this time?

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@XO:  Report, Commander.

ACTION:  The station receives the Scorpius a little more clearly as it continues to hail...

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: I think I'm getting through.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@ XO:  It appears that Kootenai Station is fluctuating with the distortion.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
FCO: Maintain power allocation, it is essential! ::moves next to the FCO console:: There, I will assist you

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
@CO: Long-range sensors have detected a spatial distortion.  As you just heard CIV Serok state, it appears that the station is fluctuating with the distortion.

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
@::chuckles:: CO: Sounds perfect. ::watches the sensor readings scroll across a nearby console::
FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Huffs in frustration then bends down and rips the panel off from beneath the Ops console.  Stares inside at the flickering chips::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@OPS:  Can you get anything from the Station?

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
COMM: Scorpius: We are surrounded by several space-time disruptions, and they're starting to tear the station apart!

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
@::Turns back to OPS:: OPS: That sounds like a good idea, Ensign.  Make it happen.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
FCO: How about putting sector 23 to 45 of main power grid out of line and rerouting them to shielding?

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@::turns to the XO:: XO:  What idea?  Do I get a say here?

OPS_Ens_S_Chambers says:
@ XO: Subspace transceiver just pinged back with message sent confirmation for the first time Commander, though no reply as of yet.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: Link all communications with SF emergency frequency.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@ :: continues to monitor LRS ::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Reaches inside the open console and pulls out some of the burned out chips.  Holds them up and shouts:: CEO: Commander, do you have any spare chips?

OPS_Ens_S_Chambers says:
@::nods and taps his console assigning 3 work teams to erect containment barriers around the warp and computer cores both::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: Aye sir.  ::makes link:: COMM: Scorpius: This is Kootenai Station on emergency frequency.  Do you read, Scorpius?

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
@CO: Of course, Sir.  OPS Chambers suggested having engineers place additional shielding around our core to protect it from the distortions.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::grabs a box:: FCO: Here.  ::slides the box to her::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@XO:  Agreed.  CIV:  What we need is a way to disrupt the anomalies ....

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::bends and watches the FCO work frantically on the circuits::

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
@OPS: And keep trying to contact the station.  Someone is bound to be there.  Let's hope they can respond.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
COMM: Scorpius: I repeat, this is Kootenai Station on emergency frequency, can you read, Scorpius?

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
@CO: Perhaps if we could get a reading on the polarity of the anomaly. Maybe then we could find a way to disrupt or reverse it.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@CO:  I shall attempt to find a way Captain.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@CNS:  Work on it.

OPS_Ens_S_Chambers says:
@CO/XO: Wait, something may be coming in on E- Band.  I am boosting Angular confinement. Attempting to lock down the signal ... patching it through ....

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@ :: attempts to get a reading on the @:: distortions ::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@OPS:  Put it on speakers, Ensign.
FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Moves out from behind the Ops console and stomps over to the CEO, shoving the burned chips in his Klingon face:: CEO: Do you have any spare chips???

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
@::strains to hear if there is a message in all the distorted noise::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
FCO: I just slid you a box full of them.  They're where you just were.

OPS_Ens_S_Chambers says:
@COMM: Kootenai: This is the Scorpius we read you say you last again ...

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: Contact!  We have the Scorpius!

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@OPS:  Clean that up, boost our signal gain if you have to.

OPS_Ens_S_Chambers says:
@::boosts power to the subspace transceiver::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::hears the Scorpius answer on the speakers::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: Good job!

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
COMM: Scorpius: This is Kootenai Station.  We're surrounded by spatial anomalies, tearing the station apart.  Please hurry!

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@CO/XO:  We could attempt to erect a subspace field around the station.

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
@::attempts to calibrate the sensors to get a reading:: Serok: Captain, Serok, are you getting anything on the anomaly itself?

OPS_Ens_S_Chambers says:
@ ::routes COMM Signal through Speakers::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@COMM: Koot:  Kootenai Station, this is Captain Horn of the Scorpius.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@CNS:  I am attempting to get readings on them now Counselor.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Looks over at the Ops console and notices the box of chips on the deck:: CEO: Oh, okay, thanks!  ::Moves back to the Ops console::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: Sir, I have their captain.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
COMM: Scorpius: This is Capt. Marek, We need your assistant. As Masters stated, we are running out of time here. The Station is barely holding in one piece

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
@CIV Serok: Do the calculations.  What sort of strength will the field need to be?

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@CIV:  Nice idea ... now exactly how do we do that?

OPS_Ens_S_Chambers says:
@::attempts to locate the nearest subspace tracking station between them and attempts to route the call by way of the routing and tracking uplink sense the outpost would have advanced science and communications equipment::

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
@::nods:: CIV Serok: I'm trying to isolate their polarity.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@ XO:  I am calculating that now.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Mumbles something not so nice then begins pulling the chips out of the box trying to match up the numbers.  Mumbles and she tosses several chips aside:: Self: Nothing in here is in order!

OPS_Ens_S_Chambers says:
@XO: Routing the Signal off a Calling and Tracking Station Between us.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@COMM: Koot:  Captain, we are working on an idea to put a subspace field around the station itself.

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
@OPS: Boost it to the best of your ability.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@COMM: Koot:  We are also working to disrupt the anomalies.  What exactly is the condition of the Station?

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::with the COs talking, goes to help the FCO:: FCO: Here, this goes here...::grabs one chip and puts it in:: and that goes there. ::puts in another new chip::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Finally finds the right numbered chips and begins jabbing them into the Ops console:: Self: I'm a Flight Control Officer, not a handyman!  It'll be a miracle if this thing actually works and I don't get electrocuted!

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
COMM: Scorpius: Captain, thanks for your assistance. Our condition is critical, SIF and main power system are failing. We will not be able to maintain it in one piece much longer.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@ CO/XO:  1 thousand millicochrans or better should do it.

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
@CIV Serok: Work with engineering.  Make it happen, Serok.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@COMM: Koot.  Understood.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
COMM: Scorpius: All available extra power sources are online. Please hurry, Captain. Marek out. ::goes back to help the FCO::

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@ XO:  I will attempt to do so Commander.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::finishes replacing the burnt isolinears with new chips:: CO: Sir, I think we can try the reroutes now.

OPS_Ens_S_Chambers says:
@CO/XO/CIV: I agree with Seroks assessment

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
@All: It seems that the distortions are producing a negative energy, which is conflicting with the positive space around it, resulting in negative feedback loops, that's most likely what is causing the Station to phase out of this reality. If we can find a way to reverse that negative feedback loop, then we should be able to restore the station to this space.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@CIV:  We need that field now.  That station won't hold out much longer.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: Proceed, Masters. ::goes back to the center console::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Jabs the last chip into place and replaces the panel door.  Picks up the tossed chips and dumps them back into the box....out of order.  Replaces the cover on the box and kicks it across Operations back to the CEO's console::  Self: Klingons!  ::Huffs::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@CNS:  Get on it.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::performs necessary reroutes of power to the necessary systems, then hears the FCO's angry thoughts:: FCO: I heard that, Benson!

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
@CO: Yes, Captain. ::begins working on a way to route energy through the deflector dish that will cause the negative energies to reverse or collapse in on themselves::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
CEO: Ask me if I care?  ::Huffs again and begins tapping the Ops console to reset the power distribution::

OPS_Ens_S_Chambers says:
@ALL: Based on sensor Information a Minor Warp Core Breach might ionize Local space and stabilize the fluctuations long enough for an evacuation perhaps. ..

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
FCO/CEO: This is not the proper time for adolescent behavior! Concentrate on the job

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@XO:  prepare to take the Scorpius in.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@CO:  I believe if we tied the power core to the deflector dish, we could produce the necessary effect.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
FCO: ETA for the Scorpius to arrive to the Station?

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@::straightens:: OPS:  How about a modified torpedo?  It should give us the yield we need ...

OPS_Ens_S_Chambers says:
@::activates his enforcements around the Scorpius Computer and Warp Core Matrix::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
All: It seems the reroute is taking hold.  SIF looks like it's starting increase in integrity.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Jabs at the buttons on her console as she gets even more frustrated:: Self: I should have left their sorry butts on Cymyra...but Noooo....I had to be the "good Joe" and offer them a ride!

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
@CO: Take us in?  

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@ CO:  We will need the help of the station to generate the desired results Captain.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::chuckles at FCO's internal monologue::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@OPS:  Hail the station, Ensign.

OPS_Ens_S_Chambers says:
@XO: I have secured our communications channel through the interference and my protective measures for the ship are in place sir.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@CIV:  Start working on the dish.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
CO: Well, if these reading are correct, 30 seconds, Sir.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
FCO: Contact the Scorpius

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@XO:  You heard me, Commander.

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
@All: We need to get closer...we'll need the station's help to generate enough power and modulate our shields to a frequency that will disrupt the anomalies.

OPS_Ens_S_Chambers says:
@CO: I'll help Serok, Captain

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@OPS:  Go.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@ CO:  Of course Captain.  OPS:  That would be prudent Ensign.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@COMM: Koot:  Kootenai Station, this is Captain Horn, come in please.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
CO: Aye, Sir.   ::Taps the COM button::  COM: Scorpius: This is LtCmdr. Benson Flight Control Officer aboard Kootenai Station, please respond.

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
@OPS: I'm sending you the necessary frequencies, Ensign.

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
@::Prepares the ship to be taken into the distortions.  Has shields strengthened, and has power diverted to the structural integrity field::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: Sir, we have sensors.  Starting to get a star fix now.

OPS_Ens_S_Chambers says:
@::orders remaining Engineers down to Deflector Control and or all other subsequently important systems::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::notices that several subsystem come back on line::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@COMM: FCO:  I hear you, Commander.  We have an idea to disrupt the anomalies, but we will need you to help us.  Do you have shields?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: Acknowledged.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Shouts:: CEO: I thought you fixed the COM's?  ::Taps the COM button again::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
    COM: Scorpius: CO: Please hold,  I'll check....

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::hears the Scorpius CO:: FCO: We do, but 75 percent.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
CEO: Do we have shields?

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: Sir, I have our position.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@COMM: Koot:  If you do we need you to remodulate your shield frequencies to the one my Operations Officer is going to send you ...

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
COM: Scorpius: CO: That's affirmative, Captain. We have shields...I repeat, we have shields.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
OPS:  Send the frequency.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: Well ::stares at the CEO console:: I see.  ::Raises an eyebrow::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
COM: Scorpius: CO: Acknowledged.

OPS_Ens_S_Chambers says:
@::hears the conversation:: COM: CEO: I have secured a relay connection with Uplink and track Station Zeta 36. Sub Channel B. Route Your Signal to that instead of directly at the Scorpius and it should help.

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
@CO: The ship is ready.  We can enter the distortions whenever you wish.  The shields and structural integrity field should protect us.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: We're near the Argolis Cluster, between Tohvun and Tagra.  That can't be right...

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@COMM: CEO:  Once you have remodulated, raise shields and pray this works.

OPS_Ens_S_Chambers says:
@CO: Aye

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::overhears the comm between his FCO and the Scorpius while listening to the CEO::

OPS_Ens_S_Chambers says:
@::transmits the desired data to the Station::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: Indeed cannot be right.. ::puzzled::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
COMM: OPS: Routing... now.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
COM: Scorpius: OPS: Acknowledged.  ::taps in the new relay coordinates::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
CO: Sir, I'm receiving the data from the Scorpius.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@CIV:  We're nearly ready.  Stand by.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@ CO:  Standing by Captain.

OPS_Ens_S_Chambers says:
@::moves over to Stand Beside Serok::

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
@::CO/OPS: I'll keep a monitor on the frequency and give you any changes.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@COMM: CEO:  Acknowledge when you are ready.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
FCO: Apply it immediately.

OPS_Ens_S_Chambers says:
@Serok: Sure glad you're performing the calculations and not me.

OPS_Ens_S_Chambers says:
@Serok: Still ... I hope this works

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@ :: lifts her eyebrow and looks at the OPS officer :: OPS:  Indeed.

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
@OPS: We all do...

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
COMM: Scorp CO: We're ready here, captain.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@CO:  Engage the deflector.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
COMM Scorpius: Proceed when ready.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@ :: nods at the CO ::  CO:  Deflector engaged.

ACTION:  As the ship and station initiate actions to stabilize the station in real space, both structures begin to shake wildly; flinging personnel about like rag dolls...

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
@::nibbles on her bottom lip as they get close enough to attempt to disrupt the anomaly::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@::hangs onto her chair, barely::

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
@::holds on tight to the station in front of her, trying not to fall::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Is flung backwards into a wall panel::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::holds onto a bulkhead to keep from flying about Ops::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::grabs hold from the nearest console, barely avoiding hitting the deck::

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
@::Gets thrown from his chair, then barks out orders to route power to inertial dampeners, and to the SFI::

OPS_Ens_S_Chambers says:
@CNS: I shall carry a Prayer, perhaps enough faith for us all.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@ :: grabs hold of the console in front of her ::

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
@::Climbs back into his chair, trying not to fall again and embarrass himself::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@CIV:  Is it working?

OPS_Ens_S_Chambers says:
@::tilts his head down momentarily::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Scrambles back to the Ops station and checks for damage.  Shouts:: CO: We're loosing hull integrity on all levels!

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@ :: checks the readings ::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: Better this work, or we will not have another chance! The Station might not support this structural stress!

ACTION:  A detectable level 2 shockwave emanates from the station and ship...

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
@OPS: Anything if it works... ::grits her teeth as the shaking continues::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: Attempting to compensate!

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: Do your magic, Mr. Masters!

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: Abracadabra.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@CNS:  Concentrate scans on the Station.  What is its condition?

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
@CO: Working on it.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
All: I'm detecting a level 2 shockwave emanating from here and the ship.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@CO:  There is a level 2-shockwave emanating from both the Scorpius and the Station Captain.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Looks at the Klingon:: CEO: What are you going to try next, band-aids?

ACTION:  The shaking stops, and surrounding space clears.  Both vessels are intact, the station barely, the Scorpius, about 50/50.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: Report!

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@::lets out the breath she was holding as the shaking stops:: ALL:  Report!

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
@::Feels the ship suddenly go calm:: All: Report.

ACTION:  Normal space can be seen as clear.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: The disruptions are gone!

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
@::presses a few controls to concentrate scans on the station:: CO: It's still there, though there is quite a lot of damage.

OPS_Ens_S_Chambers says:
@ ::goes back to his console::

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@CO:  Normal space is being detected Captain.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
CO: Well, Sir, the shaking stopped.  The station is in severe distress.  Hull breaches reported on all decks.  Several injuries also reported.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: :: raises an eyebrow:: I think we made it.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@CIV:  Nice work, all of you.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
FCO: Not band-aids, Benson.  I was going to use ::claps hands above head and spreads legs:: bubble gum, Bazooka ooka bubble gum.

OPS_Ens_S_Chambers says:
@CO: Micro fractures through the ship, several sub systems offline main power is online but minimal auxiliary power is holding. Dispatching Repair Teams.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
COMM: Scorpius CO: Fascinating! Your idea saved the day! Thanks again, to you and your crew, Captain!

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Frowns at the CEO and mumbles:: Self: Yeah, I'd like to do something with that bubble gum...

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: Amazing job, as usual, crew.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::checks damage control:: CO: Sir, damage control teams are on their way, and force fields are holding.

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
@CO: Should I prepare the ship for docking?

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@ :: raises her eyebrow ::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@COMM: Koot CO:  You're welcome.  Requesting permission to dock.  We've suffered some minor damage and our teams can assist yours in repairs to the station.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
FCO/CEO: If not for that fussing and mumbling you would be the perfect SF officer model.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@XO:  I think we should prepare to dock, Commander ... ::grins::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: Sir, I think the Scorpius requested permission to dock.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
COMM: Scorpius CO: We will be honored to assist you with the repairs. Proceed to dock. Our FCO will help with the docking. I expect to meet you as soon as you disembark, Captain.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::signals the FCO to give docking clearance to the Scorpius::

OPS_Ens_S_Chambers says:
@XO: Sir, I detect the stations systems are much more critical if not managed right away they will bleed to death, I Recommend with your support sir that we dispatch half our Repair teams to the stations at least till relief can arrive.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@COMM: Koot CO:  Agreed.  I'm looking forward to meeting you, Captain.  We will commence docking immediately. Scorpius out.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:

OPS_Ens_S_Chambers says:
@CO: Should I hail the ship sir?

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@OPS:  Yes, Ensign.  All frequencies.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:

ACTION:  The Turbo lift is stuck...

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@OPS:  Never mind.  Give the Admiral my best and tell him we'll meet him in the docking port.  CIV/XO:  Let's go.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Drops down to the deck from the last few rungs then tugs on her uniform before exiting the Jeffries tube hatch and sees the CO waiting there:: CO: I see you made it, Sir.

@::enters the TL::

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@ :: nods and follows the CO and XO ::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
FCO: ::nods to the FCO and grins:: Well you made it too... It seems we are having some unexpected visitor,

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
CO: Really?  Who?  ::Follows the CO to docking port 17C::

OPS_Ens_S_Chambers says:
@COM: Transport: Pardon our defensive Greeting. our systems are somewhat damage we did not identify you at a distance. You are cleared to approach.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@XO/CIV:  Nice way to start a new assignment ...

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
COMM Admiral Taylor: Admiral: This is Captain Marek. I wonder what brings you here.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
FCO: Admiral Taylor.

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
@CO: It was different

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@ CO:  Indeed Captain.

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
@::stands carefully, feeling more sure of her legs, her hand going instinctively to her tummy::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:

::Thinks: Wow, an Admiral....I hope he doesn't expect to do a surprise inspection::

ACTION:  In answer to the Station Commander's question, Admiral Taylor appears next to him in transporter effect.

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
@::Follows right behind the CO::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Steps back as the Admiral appears next to the CO::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::jumps between the admiral and the CO, but relaxes when he sees an admiral appear::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::notices the Admiral materializing next to him::

OPS_Ens_S_Chambers says:
@::dispatches a logistics query to Starfleet Command and well as a Mission Status Update::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
@::reaches the docking port and exits onto the Station::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Snaps to attention::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
Admiral: Sir! ::salutes the Admiral:: Welcome aboard the Station.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::looks back to the gangplank and sees... a Romulan... pulls his mek'leth:: CO Horn:  Halt!

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
@::Follows the CO onto the station:: 

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CO: So, this is Kootenai station.  I thought it was larger.

ACTION:  A diminutive man with pointed ears, Admiral Taylor looks at the assembled crews.  

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::looks at the CEO:: CEO:  Stand down, Commander.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@ :: steps in front of the CO :: CEO:  I'd suggest you drop your weapon.

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CO: Nice place, but not sure I would want to live here.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO Horn: Not on your life, Romulan!

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::looks over at Marek:: CIV:  You must be Captain Marek.  I'm Captain AQilla Horn, CO of the Scorpius.

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::Gets between the CO and the CEO:: CEO: Stand down, Commander.  She is Captain Horn of the USS Scorpius.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:: steps towards the CEO ::

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
@::slowly makes her way toward the docking port, only to seen Admiral Taylor among others obviously from the station, hangs back toward the back of the assembly::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
XO: I don't believe you.  That is a Romulan spy!

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Captain, nice to meet you.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO Marek: Stay back, sir!

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::extends her hand:: CIV:  And you too.  Nice little place you have here ...

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Watches the CEO make a fool out of himself in front of the Admiral and smirks::

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CEO: Do I appear Romulan to you, Commander?   I say again, stand down.

ADM_Taylor says:
CEO:  ::growls::  Mister Masters.  Step away.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: Masters! What's wrong with you!

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::Hears the Admiral, and stands back::

ADM_Taylor says:
ALL:  Sorry for the surprise visit, everyone.  As you were.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
ADM: With all due respect, sir, I will not!

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:: gently and quickly places her hand on the CEO's neck, attempting a Vulcan nerve pinch ::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::looks over to Taylor::  Taylor:  Nice to see you again, Admiral

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
@CEO: Commander Masters, perhaps you would like to talk later about this paranoia of yours ::speaks softly::

ADM_Taylor says:
CEO:  Then you'll visit the brig.  Last chance.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::feels the CIV put her hand on his neck, and twists it::

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:: brings her other hand up even more quickly and pinches ::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Waits for the Admiral to give the order to transport the Klingon to the brig:: Self: This is getting good....

ADM_Taylor says:
ACTION:  CEO is on the floor from a Vulcan nerve pinch, snoring...

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::feels a little lightheaded::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CIV: I think that was not necessary. I can control my crew.

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::Thinks to himself that he should have brought a side arm with him::

ADM_Taylor says:
ALL:  Right.  Well, now that you're all here, I need to do a little reassigning.

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CIV Marek: With all due respect, Sir, we will do anything to protect our captain.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:: lifts her eyebrow :: Marek:  I was protecting my Captain,

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: We have passed an stressful situation recently. Why do not just calm down, and start all this over?!

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
@CIV: Captain Marek: I would like to offer my services as Counselor.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CIV_Marek:  Agreed.  Let's cool down.  This crew needs to be able to work together.

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::Stands relaxed a bit next to his captain::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: To be honest, we would accept your services gladly.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:: nods to Admiral Taylor ::  Taylor:  Admiral.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
FCO: Please, see to wake Masters up.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
FCO:  And keep him out of my way until he calms down a bit.  Self:  Romulan spy huh ....

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
CO Marek: Ahh...do I have to, Sir?

ADM_Taylor says:
ALL:  Our Lieutenant Commander's misbehaving aside, we're permanently assigning the Scorpius to the station here.  We need a mobile asset for this facility as the recent destruction of SB 245 has shown us.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: I apologize for the behavior of my CEO, he tends to overreact, but is an excellent officer.

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
@::nods:: CIV: Marek, Thank you Captain.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::is reserving her judgment on the CEO::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Taps COM badge:: *Transporter Room*: This is LtCmdr. Benson.  Lock onto the CEO's COM badge and beam him to the.....::wants to say "Brig":: ....the Infirmary.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::starts to stir::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::listens carefully to the Admiral::

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::Looks at his CO, and whispers:: CO: We have to live here?  So much for my "nice place but wouldn’t want to live here" statement earlier.

ADM_Taylor says:
ALL:  We're also making this the main base for First Fleet, because we want to use the station and surrounding areas to be a frontier place of commerce, Tourism, and Exploration.

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
@All: If you will excuse me, I'll make my way to the infirmary and see how I can be of service.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::chuckles at the XO's comment:: XO:  Welcome to your new home, Commander.

ADM_Taylor says:
ALL:  To that end, we're renaming this facility to Deep Space 102.

Transporter chief says:
*FCO*: I'm sorry, ma'am, transporters are offline for maintenance.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:: listens to Taylor ::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::tourism and exploration... the amusement park of his previous reality comes to his mind::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::wakes with a headache::  All: Someone get the number of that hovercraft that hit me?

OPS_Ens_S_Chambers says:
::appears through the hatch finally standing in the back of the Scorpius Officers::

ACTION:  The CEO is finally beamed to the infirmary after a transporter is brought online

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
XO: You will find this Station is a perfect destination for an SF officer... Of course, once it is fully repaired...

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CO: well, perhaps I can get some decent quarters.  Not that the ship isn’t nice, but I need a place where I can really relax, and be my selves.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::finds self in the infirmary, staring right into the face of the EMH::

ADM_Taylor says:
CIV: Captain Marek, we are sending a fleet to help with that.  You'll retain command of the station.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Grins as the Klingon disappears from her sight.  Slaps her hands together:: Self: Good job, Benson.

ADM_Taylor says:
CO:  Captain Horn, You will retain command over the Scorpius.

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CIV Marek: Well, change is inevitable.  All I can hope for is that my quarters have a nice view.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::whispers:: XO:  I for one, am glad my children will be on the station rather than the ship.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:: lifts her eyebrow ::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::nods in acknowledgement to the Admiral::

ADM_Taylor says:
XO:  Mister Mahl, you be liaison officer between the two.  

ADM_Taylor says:
ALL:  Is that clear?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
XO: ::smiles at the XO:: It will have it.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
Taylor:  Aye Admiral

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
Admiral: I have two captains to answer to?

ADM_Taylor says:
XO:  And me if you don't, Commander.  ::winks::

OPS_Ens_S_Chambers says:
XO: Word from Starfleet Command they will dispatch aide as soon as it can be arranged but did not offer details. They are pleased to hear that the station has been likewise been saved.

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
OPS: Very good, Ensign. 

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
Admiral: Of course, Sir.. Of course!

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
@::enters the infirmary and walks over to a familiar form:: CEO: Are you feeling better, Commander Masters?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: We are in the threshold of a new era for our crews.

ADM_Taylor says:
ALL:  I will have offices here, but I will likely stay at my command post in 10th fleet on Oberon station.  I will be visiting from time to time.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CNS: What is with you people, protecting a Romulan?  Who is she?

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::moves to stand next to CIV_Marek:: ALL:  I agree.  I look forward to working with all of you.  Let's do the best we can to make this work.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:: nods ::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::nods to CO Horn::

ADM_Taylor says:
ALL:  That's the spirit!  ::taps COM badge::  *Shuttle OPS*: Beam it over now...

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CEO: She is Captain Aquilla Smith Horn, and Commanding Officer of the USS Scorpius.

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CEO: She is a seasoned Starfleet Officer and has proven herself many times over.

ACTION:  A case of Dom Perignon 2268 materializes on the deck beside Admiral Taylor.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Well, Captain, I think it is time to give the tour around the Station.

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CO/CIV Marek: Please don’t give me an office between both of you.  Hearing captains in stereo might give me a headache.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CNS: Smith-Horn?  Commanding officer?  That's not a Romulan name?  I need a bio!

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::notices the bottle::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
XO: I will see to avoid that... CO: I think your XO is a clever officer.

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CEO: You need nothing except to trust those in Starfleet that one, put her in command and two, placed you here.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
CO/XO:  If you'll excuse me, I have a report to make.  CO:  I recommend charges be leveled against the officer that attempted to harm you.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::smiles at the CIV:: CIV_Marek:  I'd like that ... I trust accommodations have been arranged for my crew?

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CNS: I need a stiff drink!
