Deep Space 102 - 10709.28

Previously on DS102:

The USS Scorpius had tracked a disabled Avatar vessel to a small barely class-M planet...

The Avatar vessel is being repaired, but is badly damaged and likely out of the fight for a while.

At the edge of sensors, another Avatar vessel had been detected, but in the last hour, it has disappeared from scans.

Analysis of the disabled vessel scans is beginning to come in now...

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::begins to read the analysis of the Avatar computer core::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: Report when download is finished.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: It's starting to come in now, sir.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO/FCO: Have a course out of orbit plotted.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Assist the CEO.

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: The incoming Avatar ship is no longer on long range sensor

FCO_Raash says:
SC: Aye Sir. ::opens a console to console line to the CTO::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Well, that is certainly good news.

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
CEO: Let's concentrate on the ship log

CTO_Horn says:
::Checks the console link::

FCO_Raash says:
CTO: Line is open to set coordinates, Commander.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
XO: The download of the computer core is nearly complete, sir.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: I think that once we had all the information we need, we will have two choices: send the information via subspace to the Alpha Quadrant, and remain here, waiting for orders, or second, bring such information ourselves.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: I will support the first one.

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: Can we transmit information that far?

SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: I need your suggestions.

CTO_Horn says:
FCO: Lets plot a primary course and then two backup courses.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: I'd like to investigate further in this sector, sir. We might be able to get some deeper insights on these people.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::keeps sifting through all the data from the Avatar computer::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: It will take some time, but it will reach destination on time.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: Any significant progress?

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: Nothing we don't know about yet, I'm still investigating.

FCO_Raash says:
CTO: Understood. ::sets a primary route away from the planet and sends it to the CTO::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: Any idea of which direction took the avatar ship?

CTO_Horn says:
::Sends two possible backup routes to the FCO::

CTO_Horn says:
SC: No telling. I could do a guesstimation made on there last course, however as long as it has been the accuracy of it would be negligible at best.

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
CEO: Maybe they have some historical database in their computers, like we have, can you locate some files like that?

FCO_Raash says:
::receives the routes and sets them as Alpha-Two and Alpha-Three::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: Acknowledged.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
XO: I'll give it a go.

CNS_Rand says:
::exits the lift onto the bridge::

CNS_Rand says:
::locates an empty station and sits down::

FCO_Raash says:
::glances up at the sound of the turbolift, smiles at the Counselor, then goes back to work::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::sifts through the data for a historical database::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
::sees the CNS and nods to her::

CNS_Rand says:
::returns the Captain's greeting::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: Well, so I guess we'll remain here, and send the information through the wormhole. ::feels excited about the idea::

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
:: searches himself through the Avatar files ::

CNS_Rand says:
::smiles at Raash:: FCO: How are things going?

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC/XO: Captain, commander, I have something.

FCO_Raash says:
CNS: Fairly well, ::smiles again::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: ::approaches to the CEO console:: Commander?

CNS_Rand says:
FCO: That's good to hear.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC/XO: Their technology is so much advanced than ours, it's like nothing I've seen before. Nothing new that makes sense yet, but I can spend weeks on this information and always discover something new.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: ::stares at the CEO's console:: Well, I think we should focuses on what concerns to our task here. The rest, we will have an enormous amount of time to study it. I mean, we should found their propulsion method, weaponry, tactics, and, the most important thing: Where is their homeworld, if there is one.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: Yes, sir, I'll focus my work on that.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: Counsellor, please give us a hand with the information analysis.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
FCO/CTO: Keep constant sensor sweeps on the area.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: Be ready to beam the core back to the surface.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: Captain!

CNS_Rand says:
::nods:: SC: Certainly, Captain. ::moves to where she can help with the analysis::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  An Avatar vessel is detected on the extreme edge of sensors again...

CNS_Rand says:
::watches the screen over the CEO's shoulder::

FCO_Raash says:
SC: Yes, sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: They're not even native to the Delta Quadrant of the Milky Way. They're from Galaxy NGC-32. It's 400 million LY away from here. It seems they can use wormhole technology for intergalactic travel.

CTO_Horn says:
SC: Captain, sensors have an Avatar ship.

CTO_Horn says:
SC: They're right at the edge of sensors.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: So, what do you think, Commander? This is quite a fascinating situation we are dealing with.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: Location of the ship?

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: Dig for some more on the wormhole technology.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: Aye, sir.

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: It was to be expected that a race so advanced was indeed from outside our galaxy, this also could mean that those here are either outcasts or an invasion force

SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: I would go rather for the outcast option.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
All: It seems they came here a long time ago from a galaxy far, far away.

FCO_Raash says:
::Opens starcharts and sensors::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: Sir, new information on the Avatars we've encountered.

FCO_Raash says:
::sets a course toward the Avatar ship and one in the opposite direction::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
FCO: Be ready to engage engines at a moment notice. CTO: Keep an eye on the ship.

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: From the fights we saw among them I would think so too

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: These people are younger ones, offshoots of the Avatar society wanting to reconquer this area of space. Their views are in defiance of their rulers. I guess they're like pirates.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: Great, another Oryon sindicate to deal with... ::Frowns::

CNS_Rand says:
::watches the screen for anything that may be of use::

FCO_Raash says:
SC: Ready for a course in whatever direction necessary, Captain.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
FCO: ::nods::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: Maybe more of a cross between ancient pirates and conquistadors.

CNS_Rand says:
::looks up at the viewscreen at the approaching vessel:: SC: Captain, I'm sensing frustration from the Avatar vessel.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: I would feel frustrated too if someone beams my computer core right in front of my nose...

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: Beam that core down ASAP.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: Aye, sir. We have all the information. ::beams down the core::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: Can you perceive anything else?

CNS_Rand says:
SC: I'm not referring to the Avatars on the surface, Captain, but the incominging vessel

CNS_Rand says:
SC: Yes, sir, a heightened level of annoyance and concern.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: Then can you establish the origin of such frustration?

CNS_Rand says:
SC: Perhaps it is at the destruction.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
FCO: Just as a precaution... Move us behind the planet. Right now it is convenient for us to remain "in the shadows".

SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO/CEO: I want you to work on a method to send this information though the wormhole. SF command surely will find it interesting.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: Avatar ship actual location?

FCO_Raash says:
::nods:: CO: Aye, Sir. ::adjusts the orbit and moves the ship behind the planet::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: Aye sir. Downloading this information onto a probe and preparing it to fire.

CTO_Horn says:
SC: Stand by.

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: You are aware that sending such a vast amount of information will make us vulnerable, we can be detected

SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Yes it is a high risk. But I prefer that over turning back and return to our quadrant right now... It will be a tremendous lost of time. But I am open to better ideas

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
XO/SC: I'm rigging the probe to be virtually undetectable. It'll take a circuitous route to the wormhole, and it'll leave very little subspace wake.

CTO_Horn says:
SC: They are on a course directlt to this planet.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: ::nods to the CEO:: Inform us when it is ready.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: Right. Be sure their scans do not pick our signal.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: It'll be ready in a minute, sir. Just finishing the download of the last megaquad.

CTO_Horn says:
SC: They have not detected us yet, but I wouldnt count on that lasting  very long.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: Very well. We need to take our chances right now. We cannot afford more delays here.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: Send that probe.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO/CTO/FCO: Have several courses plotted.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: Probe launched.

FCO_Raash says:
::adjusts orbit from synchronous to stationary::

CTO_Horn says:
SC: We are ready!

SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: I have a hunch. This ship is searching for the one that is on the surface. Why, I do not know. But certainly, observing their interaction  once they find it, will be fruitful

FCO_Raash says:
SC: We are behind the planet and I have 5 courses already plotted by Commander Horn and me.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: Comments?

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: As long as we stay out of the way....

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: Acknowledged. Probe ETA to the Alpha Quadrant?

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The Avatar ship arrives on scene...more massive than any they have encountered thus far...

CNS_Rand says:
SC: Agreed, Captain.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: About three hours, sir.

CTO_Horn says:
SC: There here!

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: Sound Yellow Alert.

CTO_Horn says:
SC: Look at the size of that thing!

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO/CEO: Keep us as silent as you can.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: Aye sir. Rigging for silent running.

CTO_Horn says:
::Brings the ship to yellow alert::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: The moment you sense something, the moment you mention it.

CNS_Rand says:
SC: Understood

CTO_Horn says:
::Shuts down all non essential systems::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: Keep a pasive scan all the time. Can you estimate the fire power of that ship?

FCO_Raash says:
::sets for yellow alert and sends a message to the shuttle bay to reply when they are prepped for any emergency::

CNS_Rand says:
SC: I'm beginning to sense increased concern...and there is something else... sadness.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: Well, that is an interesting change of mood.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CNS: What can they be sad about?

FCO_Raash says:
::shrugs:: CEO: We'd all be concerned is that was a Starfleet ship down there and sad if people were dead.

CTO_Horn says:
SC: If I try to scan there defensive systems we will be picked right up.

CNS_Rand says:
CEO: About what they see. These are their people down there.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
FCO: Maybe it's the Klingon in me that accepts losses in battle.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: Very well, let's watch them.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The Avatar ship begins to leave orbit...

CTO_Horn says:
SC: If I had to guess about firepower, well lets just say I would not want to get in a shooting match with them.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: I totally agree with you, Commander.

CNS_Rand says:
Self: Leaving?

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
All: It looks like they've got what they've come after and left.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The Avatar ship stops and scans behind them again...

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
All: Uh oh!

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: Send the information on the homeworld to the FCO console.

FCO_Raash says:
::adjusts to keep the planet between them and the other ship::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: Aye sir... ::sends the information::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
FCO: Once you receive the information, calculate the shortest route to their homeworld.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: Captain! That's 400 million LY!

SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: I guess that simply following that line, we will find the main group of them.

FCO_Raash says:
CEO: Information received, Sir. ::opens the file and begins comparing it to her charts::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: I am not pretending to go there, Masters.

CNS_Rand says:
::watches the viewscreen and the action of the large Avatar ship::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: That could tell us a lot.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The Avatar ship closes on the Scorpius position...

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: With all due respect, captain, it'll take at least 150 years to get there.

CTO_Horn says:
SC: There coming back!

FCO_Raash says:
SC: Direct route would be 150 years travel time, Sir.
