CSO_Ens_Trix says:
::Entering Bridge and dropping PADD on floor next to Science 1. Logs in and reviews preflight checks to ensure systems were in proper working order.::
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
::sitting at the helm making sure course and speed are correct::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
;;enters the Bridge and sits at secondary tactical console::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
*Darwin*: Report in to Sickbay. No idea what kind of species we're dealing with but they might have needs of a Xenobiologist. Far more than the labs will, that's for certain.
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
::monitors the sensors for warp drive for any indications of a problem::
CO_YoGhi says:
:: get out of his ready room with a cup of hot drink in his hand ::
CO_YoGhi says:
FCO: ETA Ensign?
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
All: Other Captain on the Bridge!
CO_YoGhi says:
ALL: To your duties everyone
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
CO: Roughly 10 hours at warp 9 Sir..... If you want to get there in eight, we need to press the warp drive for a sustained 9.5... Not sure Engineering would appreciate that Sir.
CO_YoGhi says:
SC: Captain, the XO chair is available if you are looking for a seat
CO_YoGhi says:
FCO: Engineering will have to do with it since the CO orders it
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
CO: Aye Captain. Science sensors are checking out as ready for action. Permission to request a sensor link with the Delphi so we can get a direct look at what they can see from their much closer vantage point?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO; I would take gladly... ::glances at the Tactical Station:: Just an old habit... ::goes to the XO chair and links the console with Tactical systems::
CO_YoGhi says:
FCO: We are after all answering a distress call, not delivering shuttle parts!
CO_YoGhi says:
CSO; Make it so
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::heads for the Bridge to see what she may be able to do to help::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
CO: Aye Sir, thank you Sir.
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
CO: Understood Sir. ::moves the drive control up a notch:: Warp 9.5 it is Sir.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
COM: Delphi: This is Ensign Trix from Deep Space... err, from the USS Scorpius enroute to assist. Requesting permission to link sensor packages with you so we can get a look at what we're coming to help with?
Host Gerry says:
@<USS Delphi>COM: Scorpius: CSO: Initiating link up, Scorpius. You... Holy... You have to see this, Scorpius!
CO_YoGhi says:
FCO: I may be pushing my luck a bit but ask engineering how long we can go at this speed and if we can increase our speed even more
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::enters the Bridge and settles near the back::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
::Punches up sensor link on terminal, raw data on Science 2.::
COM: Delphi: Looking now.
CO_YoGhi says:
CSO: Onscreen Ensign
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
CO: Yes sir, I'll put the computer image on screen and keep the raw on this end. ::Puts sensor data on main viewer.::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
::Looks at the raw data coming up before the images.:: All: That's...that's a lot of debris. We may have more than one vessel. Heck, maybe more than one fleet.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
::Turns to the metallurgical data to compare the bits of debris and attempt to determine how many ships make up the field.::
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
CO: Sir, I think these engines are about at all they've got.... Sir....
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
::looks to the throttle and note it to be all the way it can go::
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
::wonders if when these break, the ship can take the structural demands of faster warp nacelles::
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
::wishes he'd paid closer attention to his engineering instructor::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
Ens Tred: Give me another set of eyes. Look at that data coming in, concentrate on the thermal. We need to know if all that debris is from a single event or if some of it's been there for some time.
Host Gerry says:
@<USS Delphi> COM: Scorpius: We are still receiving that distress call, Scorpius. We're moving around the debris field in an attempt to triangulate location. We're getting a fix, but this is going to take a bit of time.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::stares at the view screen::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: That's certainly a lot of debris. What has happened here? ::raises an eyebrow::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
<Ens Tred> CSO: The thermal data is fairly consistent, I think. Whatever did that happened within the last 12 hours.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
Tred: Thanks. Keep analyzing, let's see what we can learn.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
CO/ SC: Looking like some sort of battle, about 12 hours ago from the heat dissipation. From the makeup of the debris I'd guess similar ships. Too early to tell for certain, but perhaps some sort of internal society conflict? Like a Civil War or a battle between the two sides of the law?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CSO: Is there anyway to identify the floating debris origin? Some race we know, or at least we know of their existence?
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
SC: I'll try and compare it. But until we get a bit of it into close examination range I wouldn't expect much. From this range and with that damage, it would be tough to determine if, for instance, debris was from Federation or Klingon ships. Not to imply it's either, just that our ships use a lot of the same materials.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
Computer: Open database. Compare Metallurgical data coming in and attempt to find matches for the materials used in Starfleet known technologies.
CO_YoGhi says:
SC: I don't mind answering to a distress call but I'd hate finding myself in the middle of a civil war
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
::Looks cockeyed at the initial analysis.:: CO: Nothing solid, but there are some interesting similarities between the materials we're seeing and some of the ancient, ancient stellar powers. Don't want to say the boogie man's name, but some similarities to Iconian remains.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO: I concur. we should proceed cautiously.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
CO: That's just an initial theory, Captain. I wouldn't put much stock in it until we get some solid information. With the mix of the debris there's no telling how close the pieces really are.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
CO: Given the amount of damage, however, I'd suggest we use shields at least. ::Checks to see if the Delphi has their raised.::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
::Exhales, seeing the Delphi is at Yellow Alert.::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::increases the passive tactical sensor sweeps just in case::
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
CO: Yellow Alert Sir?
CO_YoGhi says:
FCO: Not now Ensign, we are still hours away
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
CO; Aye Sir, just thinking ahead I guess....
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
::Stops for a second, looks at the console, then begins to run scans of our own, attempting to increase the data coming in.::
Host Gerry says:
@<USS Delphi > COM: Scorpius: We've triangulated the location of that distress call - there are a number of what appear to be life-pods in the general vicinity - we're looking at about 400 survivors of this, Scorpius. Our capacity is only about 150 at the moment.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
::Hears the call.:: *Sickbay*: Just got word, anticipating about 400 survivors, probably about 250 for us as the Delphi has much more limited space. Just a head's up.
Host Gerry says:
@<USS Delphi> COM: Scorpius: We're going after the most desperate first. We've got a good read on their capacity. We have a small window if you can get here within about 12 hours, Scorpius.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
CO: I'll have the Cargo bays set up as temporary shelters so we don't have to pack them in too tightly. Shall I let them know our ETA?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::orders some security teams to assist the medical teams in order to control and assist the survivors once they get aboard::
CO_YoGhi says:
COM: Delphi: We shall be there in 8 to 9 hours with our sickbay extended in all available cargo space, keep us posted on your progress
CO_YoGhi says:
CSO: Tell the medical team to get ready and have everyone with medical training to report to sickbay
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CO: I'll go down and assist medical in getting prepared, unless you need me here.
CO_YoGhi says:
CNS: Yes please do Commander
CO_YoGhi says:
CNS: Make sure that everyone is fully rested too; we have 8 hours to prepare
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
CO: Aye Captain, Sickbay is already informed. I'll get on the crew records immediately to supplement them. Even those of us with only a fifth of a brain's worth.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
::Starts reviewing crew records for Medical training.::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Security teams have been assigned to assist medical personnel.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
*PO Clark*: Universal Translator coming up with anything of interest from the distress call? I know it's limited information to work with, but anything could help right now.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
COM: Delphi: Delphi, any word on what kind of species we are dealing with? Mammalian? Reptilian? Avian? Non Bipedal? We're setting up to assist but any data we can get will be very useful.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::nods:: CO: Understood ::enters the lift and heads for medical::
CO_YoGhi says:
SC: Good, you are officially in charge of security captain
Host Gerry says:
@<USS Delphi> COM: Scorpius: Scans are reading as humanoid, scans show Ferrous-based circulatory systems, don't have much else. The debris field is harder to navigate than it first looked.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::walks the short distance to sickbay and begins working with the medical team to prepare for taking in survivors...relays the Captain's orders for getting proper rest to be ready::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO: ::nods:: Understood.
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
::continues monitoring course and speed, making subtle course corrections as needed::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
COM: Delphi: That's a start, thanks Delphi. ::Forwards information of iron based blood and bipedal nature to Sickbay.::
