CTO_Roy says:
::runs a quick check on the transporters enhancers::
CEO_Galagar says:
::Exits the new fresh smelling quarters...walks towards the TL: Bridge::
CSO_Syrna says:
::at SCI I, watching sensors::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::in the ready room with the CO::
CEO_Galagar says:
::Sighs as he goes up towards the bridge....new ship old memories...old life...new life::
Host CO_KBeth says:
::sitting at her desk in the RR surrounded by a pile of PADDs:: XO: Okay...we have a new CEO transferred so that makes us still short in the medical department.
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::sighs:: CO: Yes but at least the EMH is working properly.
CEO_Galagar says:
::Tries to look respectful, exists the TL...and enters the bridge...still doesn't look right...tries to picture the old one layered over it::
CTO_Roy says:
::waits to see the results of her scan on the enhancers::
OPS_DVon says:
::setting at his station on the bridge when he remembers something::  *CO* Captain, I almost forgot you have a package waiting for you in the cargo bay, would you like it transported to your RR
Host CO_KBeth says:
*OPS*: Yes please.
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::raises her eyebrow at the mention of a package::
Host CO_KBeth says:
::shrugs her shoulders and hands another PADD to Tarrez:: XO: Probably something my brother sent me.
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::nods and takes the PADD and begins to look at it.::
CEO_Galagar says:
::Straightens up his Uniform, shines the pips, takes out his PADD...::
CTO_Roy says:
OPS: Transporters enhancers seem to be fully functional.
OPS_DVon says:
::pushes some buttons at his station:: *CO* You should have it now, it is from a Lt. Turok from the USS Gryphon
Host Brett says:
Action: The Delphyne warps through space, en route to the science station on Detweiller III
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::Grins as she hears the name Turok::
CEO_Galagar says:
::Taps it, the CO, and XO are in the RR...might as well face the music...walks up to the RR door...and thinks about ringing the chime::
Host CO_KBeth says:
::stretches her arms and shoulders and then freezes when she hears who it's from:: *OPS*: Did you say Lt. Turok?  ::looks cautiously at the package::
OPS_DVon says:
::looks over at the CTO:  OPS: All the transporters and the buffering systems checked out when my crews did their scans, did the security sweeps come up clear
CSO_Syrna says:
::raises an eyebrow at the new guy::
CEO_Galagar says:
::Sighing...taps the chime quickly…and moves his hand away and waits::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::stands up to get a better look at the package:: CO: I wonder way he is sending you anything? ::grins::
CSO_Syrna says:
::continues watching the sensors, thankful they were well calibrated::
OPS_DVon says:
*CO* Yes Ma'am it is from Lt. Turok and is address to Lt. T'Kar
Host CO_KBeth says:
::hears the now familiar 'bzzzzthlp' of the still broken chime:: CEO: Enter.
CTO_Roy says:
OPS: Everything shows to be within parameters.
CEO_Galagar says:
::Enters, and stands at ATTN::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::turns slightly to see the new CEO::
Host CO_KBeth says:
*OPS*: Thank you Ensign. ::still eyeing the box, walks over and turns to face the CEO:: CEO: At ease Lt.
CEO_Galagar says:
XO/CO: Lt N'ka Galagar reporting for duty. ::hands his official PADD...at ease::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::begins to size the CEO up.::
OPS_DVon says:
::looks down at his screen::  CTO: I am detecting an odd subspace signal, can you confirm
CTO_Roy says:
OPS: I will have the Gamma team, led by Ens Knight, practice security procedures during then transfer of supplies..... subspace signal? checking now ::taps on her console::
Host CO_KBeth says:
::takes the PADD and passes it to Tarrez:: CEO: Welcome aboard, Lt.  Are you finding everything you need?
CEO_Galagar says:
CO: Yes Commander.
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::takes the PADD and gives it a through look see.::
OPS_DVon says:
CTO:  It is to organized to be background noise, Ens. Knight I don't think I have meet him, actually I haven't meet all of my people yet
CTO_Roy says:
OPS: It is too faint, although I can notice it too.
CSO_Syrna says:
::raises an eyebrow over hearing the OPS and CTO:: OPS/CTO: A signal?
OPS_DVon says:
CTO:  It seems to becoming from the Balin system, ::tries to clear up the signal
CEO_Galagar says:
CO: Permission to speak freely?
CTO_Roy says:
CSO: Yes there is a faint signal. Maybe with your systems you could get a better reading.
Host CO_KBeth says:
CEO: Granted.
OPS_DVon says:
::looks over at the CSO: CSO: It is coming in really faint, from the Balin system.  It is to organized to be background noise I am trying to clear it up now
CSO_Syrna says:
CTO: I can but try. OPS: Perhaps more power to the communications array?
CEO_Galagar says:
CO: I have had the pleasure of serving with to Commanding Officers, each liked a different title. With no disrespect do you prefer being called Commander, or Ma'am?
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::looks back up and smiles.... thinks "score one for the new guy"::
Host CO_KBeth says:
CEO: ::grins:: Either one, but I find Ma'am a little less cumbersome than Commander.  ::thinks that she's going to like this guy::  Thank you for inquiring.
OPS_DVon says:
CSO:  Due to the location of the Del, I cant really do anything.  But I can tell you it isn't a regular signal a Pulsar would emit.  I will focus the communication emitters on the Balin system and increase the power but I don't think it will help
CEO_Galagar says:
::Notes the XO's shift in emotion:: CO: Yes Ma'am.
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::thinks he is going to have to do better than that to win her over::
CSO_Syrna says:
CTO/OPS: The long range sensors detect a communication signal - the same signal.
CEO_Galagar says:
::Wonders if he should bring up the shift changes he wanted to make...decides to make the inquiry at some other time::
CTO_Roy says:
::nods at CSO:: CSO: Any idea what is emitting that comm signal? Ship? ::scans::
OPS_DVon says:
*CO* Ma'am we are detecting a signal from the Balin system. From Balin IV's moons to be exact.  Due to the position of the Del I cant get a clear message though
CSO_Syrna says:
CTO: Uncertain.
CTO_Roy says:
CSO: mmm... okay.
Host CO_KBeth says:
*OPS*: Does it appear to be a distress signal?
OPS_DVon says:
*CO* I am uncertain of its exact purpose, but I do know it is not occurring naturally.
The signal is also encrypted, I may be able to crack it, but it will take time
CEO_Galagar says:
::Though at ease, takes out another PADD out of normal routine, and starts typing at it rapidly…bringing all ship system status up...::
CSO_Syrna says:
CTO: I detect no ships in the Balin system, where the signal is coming from.
Host CO_KBeth says:
::looks at the XO and grins:: XO: Sounds intriguing.
CTO_Roy says:
CSO: I concur with that.
Host CO_KBeth says:
CEO: Take your post, Lt.  And again, welcome on board.
OPS_DVon says:
CSO: Balin IV's moon
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::smiles:: CO: Yes it does.
CEO_Galagar says:
CO: Thank you Ma'am...::Pivots, and heads to a station::
Host CO_KBeth says:
*OPS*: I'm on my way. ::gestures to the XO to follow her to the bridge::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::nods and follows:: CO: Your not going to open the box? ::says jokingly::
OPS_DVon says:
*CO* We will also have to move the ship closer, the signal is too weak for me to start trying to crack it
CSO_Syrna says:
::looks at ops:: OPS: Balin IV's moon would be in the system of Balin IV. ::tone very Vulcan::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
<?>
CEO_Galagar says:
*EO Traves*: bring the engines to warm mode, we may be about to leave.
OPS_DVon says:
::looks up at the CSO, doesn't show any emotion.  Trying to mock her facial expressions:: CSO: You are the Vulcan science office,r tell me
CTO_Roy says:
::senses tension arising between OPS & CSO and prefers not to talk, keeps scanning the area for ships instead::
CSO_Syrna says:
OPS: P80-AS, Balin IV's moon is described as a lifeless body made mostly of carbon. I detect no ships orbiting the moon of Balin IV.
CEO_Galagar says:
::Over hears the word Vulcan, and then realizes why the room felt cold in one spot...takes a brief glace and CSO, and goes back to work::
Host CO_KBeth says:
::stops and turns to look at the box through the door and looks at the bridge, then back at the box:: XO: I suppose I should...I mean, the CO is supposed to be brave and courageous.  I'll meet you on the bridge. ::grins and heads back in::
OPS_DVon says:
CSO/CTO: Could the moon be blocking a ship, which would cause us not to detected.  Leading us to believe the signal is coming from the moon, when really it is just bouncing off of it
CSO_Syrna says:
OPS: I cannot detect anything on the surface of the moon. We are not close enough for planetary sensors.
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::can't seem to block out all the emotions flying around the bridge as she enters, but doesn't say anything to the bridge crew.:: CO: Ma'am do you want us to change course?
CSO_Syrna says:
::raises an eyebrow:: OPS: Quite possibly.
CTO_Roy says:
OPS: It could indeed. We could send a probe to learn more.
CSO_Syrna says:
::Nods to the CTO:: OPS/CTO: I will launch one now.
CTO_Roy says:
XO: The CSO would like to launch a probe so that we can get more info about the signal.
CEO_Galagar says:
::Monitors the re-supply hopes there is enough material to patch up the ship enough....::
CSO_Syrna says:
::hears the CTO and waits::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::turns to the CTO:: CTO: Permission granted.
OPS_DVon says:
::looks at the CTO then at the XO, and grins back at the CTO::
CSO_Syrna says:
::hears the XO and launches a  probe sending it to the moon::
Host CO_KBeth says:
::hears something in Tarrez's tone and turns back to the bridge and goes to her chair::  XO: What is happening?
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::turns back to the CO:: CO: We have just launched a probe to get a better look at the signal.  I was just wondering if you want to change our course ma'am.
Host CO_KBeth says:
XO: How much off course would that take us?
Host Brett says:
Action: Probe telemetry reveals the transmission comes from an area on the moon covered in ionic interference, preventing more detailed scans by the probe.
CSO_Syrna says:
All: ::raises an eyebrow:: Fascinating.....
CTO_Roy says:
CSO: What is it revealing?
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::turns to the CTO:: CTO/CSO: How far off course would we need to be to get a detailed look?
CSO_Syrna says:
CTO: There is an area of ionic interference on the surface of the moon, that is preventing further scans.
CTO_Roy says:
XO: The Balin system is about 1 hour from our course.
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::turns back to the CO:: CO: It is about an hour off course and the probe doesn't seem to be helping.
OPS_DVon says:
CTO: If we increased our speed we could cut that time down
Host CO_KBeth says:
XO: All right.  Alter course to the Balin system.
CTO_Roy says:
CSO: Interesting indeed. So there might be something behind that moon and we won't know until we see it face to face.
CSO_Syrna says:
::nods at the CTO::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
<Duty FCO>: You heard her.  Plot a course to the Balin system warp 6. Engage!
CEO_Galagar says:
::Taps the panel a bit more...everything looks fine...time for a closer look....enters a hatch...and crawls to deck 14::
Host CO_KBeth says:
::glances back toward the RR and then at the XO:: XO: Call me when we enter the system.  ::turns and heads back into the RR::
CTO_Roy says:
::checks her sensors::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::nods and takes her seat:: CTO: Bring me up to speed on this signal that we are getting.
Host CO_KBeth says:
::walks cautiously around the box and shakes it a bit::
Host Brett says:
<Duty FCO> ::Alters course and increases speed::
CSO_Syrna says:
::keeps watching the sensors::
CTO_Roy says:
XO: Aye. OPS detected a signal. It looks like a comm signal though we cannot detect the exact location due to an ionic interference on the surface of the moon.
CEO_Galagar says:
::Enters ME, through the hatch:: ME: Report, ::Picks up a PADD and starts calibrating the systems to his satisfaction::
Host Brett says:
Action: It is not that heavy, a large object inside thumps against the side.
OPS_DVon says:
XO: The CTO, CSO, and I thought maybe that a ship is behind the moon, and its signal is just bouncing off of the surface but we cant say for certain
Host CO_KBeth says:
::looks over the box, searching for a latch.  Finds one and opens it.  Cracks the lid just about a half an inch and tries to look inside::
CSO_Syrna says:
OPS: The probe detected that the signal was coming from the area on the moon with the high level of ionic interference.
Host CO_KBeth says:
::lifts the lid the entire way and peers in::
CSO_Syrna says:
::wonders where the CEO went, since she did not see or hear him leave::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
OPS: Understood. Let me know as soon as you find anything. CTO: Keep an eye out for other ships in the area... including all possible eddies and such that would indicate a cloaked ship.
CEO_Galagar says:
::notices that ionic interference seems to be interfering with the probes projections...tries to get the variance wave to match the harmonic detector
CTO_Roy says:
XO: Aye, Cmdr. I will try to enhance the tactical sensors so I can get a better reading
OPS_DVon2 says:
XO: Understood
Host CO_KBeth says:
::reaches in and pulls out a Breen helmet and one of their body suits folded neatly.  A piece of paper flutters to the floor to land next to the box.  She puts the items on her desk and reaches for the paper::
Host Brett says:
Action: The probe's sensors aren't sophisticated enough to cut through the interference.
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
*CEO*: Lt. I might recommend that you familiarize yourself with our grey mode at your earliest convenience.  One never knows when we might need it in these parts.
CEO_Galagar says:
*XO*: Aye sir, I read a brief introduction to it on the way here...it sounds very taxing to the systems....but I think it makes sense if we need it.
OPS_DVon2 says:
::tries to reconfigure the Communication array and fine tune it on the Moon.::  XO: From further scans I can confirm it is a linguistic broadcast, but it is encrypted so I don't know what is saying.  The signal is to weak for me to start trying to break the encryption
CEO_Galagar says:
::Notices the everything seems to be in high levels of maintenance...not even a panel to polish...impressed::
Host Brett says:
Action:  The note reads: As your customs require I am showering you with rare gifts.  A Breen helmet and environmental suit, taken in combat.  There is more to the story but I cannot tell you now.  More will follow.  You will be mine.  Turok
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
OPS: Understood. Let me know the moment we get close enough to begin.
Host Brett says:
Action: The Delphyne enters the Balin system and closes on the moon of Balin IV.  OPS is able to get a good copy of the signal.
CTO_Roy says:
::looks around and hears some thoughts of the crew, then goes back to her monitoring::
OPS_DVon2 says:
::receives a clear copy of the signal and goes to work trying to decrypt it:: XO: I have the signal but it will take me a few minutes to break the code, ::tries to sound confidant, in reality he might not break it::
CEO_Galagar says:
::Still notices that though the probe is finding the signal...that is all too reminds him of the Chodan'Ri...hopes its just his nerves::
Host CO_KBeth says:
::sits down as she reads the note:: Self:: Oh boy....I never thought he would take me serious.
CSO_Syrna says:
::getting a better reading on the moon, exact composition of the rock, etc. Still nothing in the area of the interference:: Self: Odd.....
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
OPS: Understood.
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
CSO: What is causing the interference?
OPS_DVon2 says:
::runs some standard decoding programs on the signal::
CSO_Syrna says:
XO: The ionic field. Most puzzling. There is nothing suggesting a naturally occurring one. Quite possibly it is man made.
CEO_Galagar says:
::Notices that the planet couldn't be causing the interference...:: *XO*: Sir I don't believe that signal is coming from the planet...the degradation displacement is that of a reflected pulse, not a distress signal.
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
CSO: Is there a way we can de-ionize the area?
Host CO_KBeth says:
::looks at the helmet and thinks that it would look really good on that end table over in the corner::
CTO_Roy says:
XO: No ships in the system. Well, none that I can detect.
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
*CO*: We have entered the system.
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
*CEO*: Suggestions?
OPS_DVon2 says:
::the standard programs fail, so he decides to use one of his own programs on the code.  His program is a little more in depth, will take a little while longer because of its in depth scan, and the crossing referencing with other know codes::
CSO_Syrna says:
::raises an eyebrow:: XO: The area is quite large. If it were naturally occurring, we could use the deflector dish to radiate a beam of energy with an opposite magnetic charge. That would neutralize it. However... I suspect strongly it is man made.
CEO_Galagar says:
*XO*: I suggest looking at a trajectory for the beam that is causing the signal...may be a probe of a ship stranded on another planet somewhere in the vicinity...or a trap of some sort.
Host CO_KBeth says:
*XO*: Understood, I'm on my way. ::puts the helmet on the table and exits onto the bridge:: Self: I'll deal with Mr. Turok later. ::enters bridge and walks to her chair:: XO: Report.
OPS_DVon2 says:
CSO:  I don't think it could be a natural signal, for one it has linguistics attached to it and it is encrypted
CSO_Syrna says:
OPS: I am not speaking about the signal. I am speaking about the ionic interference on the surface of the planet ::very neutral tone::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::stands as the CO enters.:: CO: Ma'am OPS is working on decoding the signal.  CSO believes that the interference is being caused by something man made, and the CEO thinks that it is a reflected pulse.
OPS_DVon2 says:
::controls his temper, and does something he very seldom does:: CSO: I apologize, I was mistaken
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
CO: The CEO suggests looking at a trajectory for the beam that is causing the signal.
CSO_Syrna says:
OPS: Quite alright. ::remains placid although she knows the OPS officer thought about strangling her::
CEO_Galagar says:
::Prepares the deflector dish for an inversed pulse, perhaps to see if the radiation can be displaced momentarily, and the signal traced to its origin::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::whispers:: CO: So what was in the box?
Host CO_KBeth says:
XO: I agree.  Launch 2 probes  in opposite trajectories and try to triangulate the location of the signal.  ::quietly:: I'll tell you later.
OPS_DVon2 says:
CO: I believe that the signal is coming from the Ionized area of the moon, at first I thought about a ship but from further scans I think it is coming from the moon it self
Host CO_KBeth says:
OPS: Coordinate with the CSO and check that the signal is definitely coming from the moon.
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::nods:: CTO: You heard her? Launch the probes.
CSO_Syrna says:
::wants to sigh:: CO/XO: The signal is coming from the ionized area of the moon.
CTO_Roy says:
XO: Sorry... I was... well... doing it now, cmdr
CTO_Roy says:
::sets the two probes and launches them::
Host Brett says:
Action: The probes are launched.
CEO_Galagar says:
::Powers up the DD::
OPS_DVon2 says:
::looks over at the CSO, this he does have to agree with her on::  CSO: I am comparing everything you have with what I have, I agree with you it is coming from the moon
Host Brett says:
