Host Brett says:
Summary: The Delphyne has made its way back into the asteroid field and taken up position near the derelict Excelsior. The asteroids interfere with sensor scans into and out of it, so their probe is currently "keeping watch" outside the field.  An away team is being formed.

CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: I am receiving data from the probe about the area outside the field ma'am.

CEO_Mash`ev says:
:: Hard at work on the warp core, checking the configurations once more before extracting the crystal matrix. ::

CNS_Jakiel says:
*CMO*:  Doctor, I'm coming to help you out in sickbay as the captain ordered.  Will be there shortly.  ::gets up from her chair and walks to the turbolift::

CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
SO: You better double time it to the Transporter room

EO_Knight says:
::In the transporter room.::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CSO: Let's see about that other ship.  Release the video and put it on screen.

SO_So`Quon says:
::transfers some last second data to Science I and rushes off to the TR:: CSO: Yes, sir.

CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods and releases the video and puts it on the main viewer::  CO: Aye ma'am.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Anything interfering with a transport to the other ship?

OPS_Keach says:
::Checks his info:: CO: Let me check Ma'am

SO_So`Quon says:
::the turbolift ride feels like an eternity, but it stops, and he hightails it to the TR, a tricorder in hand::

CMO_Hunter says:
*CNS*:: Thank you Counsellor, We can use all the help we can get.

CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::looks at the readings from the scans of the other ship:: CO: Ma'am, I am seeing many biological readings on the other ship, but it has no power or life support.  Also many areas are exposed to open space.

OPS_Keach says:
CO: Nothing interfering, but I will need a destination before you send them though

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::looks at the viewscreen taking in everything that can be seen:: CSO: That is a hell of a beating that ship took. Can you identify any of the biological readings?

CTO_K`Vas says:
CO: Captain I have some data on the derelict Excelsior.  The ship was crippled by weapons fire.  Phasers, disruptors, and polaron weapons were all used.  The scans show that some of the damage is much older than the rest

SO_So`Quon says:
::makes it to the TR just in time, his heart rate still slow even after all the running::

CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: ::shakes her head::  No ma'am.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::nods:: CSO: Maybe that's for the best.  We'll know soon enough.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: Have the away team in full EVA suits and take a security detail along.

EO_Knight says:
::Places the helmet over his EVA and checks his equipment comprised of, Tricorder, Tech kit, and his Sidearm.::

CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::raises an eyebrow::  CO: So it saw many battles with no opportunities for repair.

CTO_K`Vas says:
CO: Yes captain.  :: taps comm :: *TO*: Lieutenant the away team is to be issued full EVA suits.  Also assemble a security detail to accompany the away team

SO_So`Quon says:
::watches the EO get EVA gear on, and gulps:: Self: Oh no...

CEO_Mash`ev says:
:: Takes a quick break from the warp core repairs. ::  *EO_Knight*: Are you prepared to beam over to the... derelict ship?

TO_Re`Volos says:
*CTO*: Aye, sir.

SO_So`Quon says:
::looks down at his bare feet, thinking of agony of wearing standard EVA boots::

CTO_K`Vas says:
:: continues working on the tactical systems ::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Is the bridge still intact?

CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::takes a moment::  *CMO*: ::softly:: Have you had a chance to check the results of those test you ran either on me?

TO_Re`Volos says:
::requests a security force to report to TR1 with EVA gear and phaser rifles::

CNS_Jakiel says:
::steps off the turbolift and into sickbay, immediately hailing Dr Hunter::  CMO:  Where do you want me?  ::looks around at all the wounded and thinks...'just pick a patient'::

EO_Knight says:
::Switches on his suits communications.:: *CEO*: Yes sir, we should have adequate tools.  I'll yell if we need anything.

SO_So`Quon says:
::half-heartedly grabs an EVA suit and puts it on, saving the footgear for last::

EO_Knight says:
::Notices the SO's discomfort and switches on the personal speaker.:: *SO*: First time?

OPS_Keach says:
CO: Yes it's intact more or less, but the front is blown away and exposed to space

OPS_Keach says:
CO: A lot of damage though

SO_So`Quon says:
EO: No. In fact it's my fourth time. I had three very unpleasant episodes with this equipment in the Academy.

TO_Re`Volos says:
::gets into his EVA suit and grabs his phaser rifle as the security team arrives::

CEO_Mash`ev says:
*EO* Very good, ensign. Good luck and don't take any unnecessary chances. We can dispatch an engineering crew if your assessments warrant it.

TO_Re`Volos says:
*CTO*: Security team assembled, sir. The EO, SO, and I are standing by::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Find a place to send the away team and transport when they are ready.  Feed the video from their EVA suits to the viewscreen here.

EO_Knight says:
*CEO*: Understood sir.  ::Turns his attention toward the SO.:: SO: Tell me about it, I almost lost my lunch in that Zero-G test.

SO_So`Quon says:
::gets the suit and helmet on and secure, then takes a deep breath and shoves the boots on, biting his teeth through the pain::

OPS_Keach says:
CO: Aye Ma'am  ::scans to find a location::

CTO_K`Vas says:
:: hears the CO & OPS :: CO: Captain if that is indeed the Delphyne we could use our command codes to take over her computers and get data.  It would only require the EO to restore some emergency power to the bridge

CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods to the CTO thinking that sounded like a great idea::

SO_So`Quon says:
::adjusts his big feet as best he can with the boots, and takes a careful step forward, closing his eyes::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: Make it so, Lt.  Have the EO make his way to engineering and proceed.  As soon as the TO deems it safe.

OPS_Keach says:
*AT*: Is your group ready for transport?

CTO_K`Vas says:
CO: Yes captain

TO_Re`Volos says:
*OPS*: Ready.

SO_So`Quon says:
::looks down, amazed the footwear isn't as uncomfortable as before, and checks his gear including tricorder and sidearm and gets on the pad::

OPS_Keach says:
::Looks to the Captain for the go ahead::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CSO: Commander, scan and see if there is anything salvageable over there. ::gives her a look that says if the CSO's statement about no repairs was correct then they would need all the supplies they can get::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Transport them over, Ensign.

TO_Re`Volos says:
::finds his spot on the pad as the rest of the Away Team assembles for transport::

EO_Knight says:
::Does a final check of his Equipment and confirms, ready::

CEO_Mash`ev says:
:: Picks up tricorder and inspects crystal matrix, shaking his head, and picks up a micro scalpel. ::

CTO_K`Vas says:
*EO*: Ensign as soon as Lieutenant Re'Volos deems it safe make your way to engineering and restore emergency power to the computers on the bridge on that ship

SO_So`Quon says:
TO/EO: I'm ready as I'll ever be.

EO_Knight says:
*CTO*: Understood.

CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods to her in understanding and scans the ship for anything salvageable::

EO_Knight says:
::Finds his spot on the Transporter.:: SO/TO: I always hated having my atoms smashed then reorganized.

CNS_Jakiel says:
::grabs a medkit and slings it over her shoulder, moving to one of the louder patients, hoping to quiet him for the benefit of the rest::

CMO_Hunter says:
CNS:: Just jump in Lieutenant, ::hands here the chart for bed 5:: here’s one, He watched his bunkmate get sucked out trough the hole in the hull, he'll need both medical and physiological attention

Host CO_K`Beth says:
*CEO*: We're hoping to find supplies for replenishment.  Send a list of the most crucial you need to OPS.

SO_So`Quon says:
EO: Try to focus your mind on other things besides the actual transport itself.

OPS_Keach says:
::Initiates transport::

CMO_Hunter says:
*CSO*:; ::quietly:: yes love, everything is fine

EO_Knight says:
SO: Yeah, I’ll keep that in mind. ::and finds little comfort in the words.::

CEO_Mash`ev says:
*CO* Aye, captain. :: Makes one more adjustment before setting tools down and picks up a PADD. ::

CNS_Jakiel says:
::takes the chart for the patient and reads it over::  CMO:  Rough...I'll try to keep him comforted.

OPS_Keach says:
CO: I transported them to engineering level Captain

CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: Ma'am there is nothing left of major value... ::sighs at hearing the CMO's comm::  There may be smaller things like cables and isolinear chips that could still be alright but the way team will have to inventory those things.

Host Brett says:
Action: You materialize inside engineering.  It is a dark and surreal place.  The warp core is dark and lowered blast doors indicate that radiation had flooded the compartment.  The bodies of several engineers lie where they fell, at their posts trying to prevent a core breach.

EO_Knight says:
@::Hears his voice echo through the room.:: Self: Heh, I beat my voice here.

SO_So`Quon says:
@::gets his tricorder out and takes a reluctant look around::

TO_Re`Volos says:
@SO: Are you reading any life signs?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::sits down in her chair:: CSO: Damn...well it was a good idea.

CNS_Jakiel says:
PO_Smith:  How are you feeling?  ::takes a scan and casually watches his eyes as she also 'listens' to his pent up emotions::

EO_Knight says:
@::Takes out his Tricorder and starts scanning the Hull.::

CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::checks the probe readings again::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::looks at the viewscreen:: OPS: Put the away team video on the main viewscreen, Ensign.

OPS_Keach says:
::hits the command:: CO: Aye

OPS_Keach says:
::looks up to the view screen to make sure it worked::

SO_So`Quon says:
@::kneels down beside one of the bodies in the ME:: TO: None, sir.

CTO_K`Vas says:
*TO*: Re'Volos keep yourself and your men focused on the task.  You do not know what sights you may encounter.  And Lieutenant...Q'apla

Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: And keep a transport lock on them....be prepared to do an emergency beam-out.

TO_Re`Volos says:
@*CTO*: Aye sir. Q'apla!

OPS_Keach says:
CO: understood ::does a sensor lock::

CNS_Jakiel says:
<Smith> CNS: Does it matter?  ::rolls over away from the counselor.  Feelings of guilt and intense sadness emanate from him, Ariel feeling those keenly...amidst all the rest of the pain in sickbay::

SO_So`Quon says:
@::hears the Klingon word for success:: Self: Indeed.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
*TO*: Lt, your main task is to find out what that ship is and what happened to them.  See if you can get any systems up and running enough to download their logs.

CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::has a moment and starts working on finding out what caused them to be "here" if they are indeed somewhere where they are not suppose to be::

SO_So`Quon says:
@::rises up and starts scanning the remains of consoles and equipment in the place::

EO_Knight says:
@::Tries his best not to let the Grave site affect him and switches on his Comm.:: *CO*: The hull is heavily fractured but stable for the most part.  I wouldn’t expect it to fully collapse anytime soon.

TO_Re`Volos says:
@*CO*: Aye, aye Captain.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
*EO*: Good Ensign.  Do you think you can restore emergency power?

CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::calls up the ship' sensor readings from when the shockwave started::

CEO_Mash`ev says:
:: Forwards list of supplies based on damage report to OPS. ::  *OPS* I'm forwarding a list of needed supplies to your console. I can certainly provide more details as needed.

CNS_Jakiel says:
::says quietly as she looks his scans over::  PO Smith: Yes, it does, very much...I need to see your... ::is interrupted::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::has a thought:: CSO: Commander, have any of the escape pods been deployed?

EO_Knight says:
@*TO*: I'm reading heavy counts of Radiation.  I don't recommend we stay long.

CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: From the other ship?

CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::looks to see::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CSO: Yes.

OPS_Keach says:
*CEO*: Yes sir

TO_Re`Volos says:
@ EO: How long until it reaches critical levels?

EO_Knight says:
@*CO*: I'm making my way to the core's terminal now.

CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: Yes there are several missing,,, why?

CNS_Jakiel says:
<Smith> ::rolls back over to face her, glaring intensely into her eyes::  CNS:  How would you know!!  You weren't there...I had his leg...right in my hand...and I let go....  ::a little quieter as he dissolves into tears and covers his eyes with his hands::  ...I let go...

CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::strangely enough, for once is not following her line of thinking::

SO_So`Quon says:
@::finds a loose panel near the 'pool table' and tries to pull it open::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::watches the feed from Re'Volos helmet camera:: CSO: Because they may still be somewhere near by.  You said there was a planet in this system?

EO_Knight says:
@TO: In an hour or so.  I'll get to the systems so we can get out of here by then.

TO_Re`Volos says:
@EO: Understood. Let's get this done quickly and well.

EO_Knight says:
@::Maneuvers around the Corpses careful not to interfere with their surroundings, and makes it to the core terminal.::

CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods::  CO: Yes ma'am.  :checks the details out on them again::

CEO_Mash`ev says:
:: Picks up micro spanner and tricorder and examines the crystal matrix again. Carefully, starts making adjustments based on tricorder readings. ::

CNS_Jakiel says:
::his anger and hatred for himself hit Ariel and she tries to shield as best she can as she quickly pulls a hypo from the medkit and pops in a sedative, setting it a decently high level.  For once, she allows herself to 'watch' the memories of the highly distraught officer and sees something::  Smith:  Robert, you didn't let go...

CNS_Jakiel says:
<Smith> ::shakes his head and can barely speak::  CNS:  I did...I let my friend get sucked out...

EO_Knight says:
@::slams his fist on the console.:: SO/TO: Blast.

SO_So`Quon says:
@::gets the panel open and finds lots of inactive isolinear chips and damaged circuits at first glance:: Self: Now I know why I tried to avoid my Operations training.

TO_Re`Volos says:
@EO: What's the problem, Ensign?

SO_So`Quon says:
@::goes over the EO::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::stands up and walks over to science.  Quietly:: CSO: Commander...can you scan for different species among the bodies?

EO_Knight says:
@*TO*: The Radiation has flooded the systems down here.  They're completely dead.

CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: There is one planet that is M class.  No ma'am I already tried that.

CNS_Jakiel says:
::applies the hypo to his neck as he shifts his arms slightly, she senses he immediately starts slipping off into sleep::  Smith:  No, you didn't....your friend slipped from your grasp...think on that as you rest...  ::brushes back his hair as his arms relax and fall to his side.  Ariel adjusts the blanket over him and sighs deeply.::

TO_Re`Volos says:
@EO: Where else can the information be accessed from?

OPS_Keach says:
::Looks down at his console and realizes that he forgot to reroute helm to his station, and then looks around to make sure nobody could see what he had done::

CNS_Jakiel says:
::turns and leans against the man's biobed to gather herself...Smith's deep anxiety and inner loathing having brought her close to tears::

TO_Re`Volos says:
@EO: Is there any way we can reroute power? Other systems? Battery cells?

SO_So`Quon says:
@TO: If we could get to the main computer itself....but that wouldn't do any good without power.

CTO_K`Vas says:
:: watches the camera feed from the away team as he works ::

EO_Knight says:
@::Takes out his Tricorder and begins scanning for any Energy Traces.:: TO: No, the systems down here are useless even if we could get power.  We'd have to go to the auxiliary bridge..

EO_Knight says:
@TO/SO: Auxiliary is on Deck 5.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::nods, returns to her seat and watches the viewscreen.  Thinks to herself that she hopes the away team doesn't see anyone they know over there.  Listening to the conversation form the away team:: OPS: Can you transport them directly to auxiliary bridge?

SO_So`Quon says:
@::scans ahead:: EO/TO: The radiation could make the journey there problematic, no?

CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::goes back to the old sensor scans from the eruption of the mine::

OPS_Keach says:
CO: Yes I can

Host CO_K`Beth says:
*TO*: Lt....if you need to get to the auxiliary bridge we can transport you.

TO_Re`Volos says:
@*CO*: The auxiliary bridge seems to be our best chance at getting power to retrieve the data, Captain.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Transport them there....and keep a lock on them.

OPS_Keach says:
*TO*: Standby away team, I am initiating transport now

OPS_Keach says:
CO: transport lock established

SO_So`Quon says:
@::stands ready for transport::

EO_Knight says:
@::Stows his equipment and stands ready.::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::waits for the team to materialize on the auxiliary bridge::

OPS_Keach says:
::initiates the transport sequence::

Host Brett says:
ACTION: You materialize on the darkened auxiliary bridge.  The beams of your lights show a scene of death and destruction.  Bodies lie strewn all around you, Starfleet and Jem’Hadar.  Blast marks mar the dead consoles.

EO_Knight says:
@:: Jumps at the site of Jem’Hadar.::

SO_So`Quon says:
@::gazes about the aux bridge:: Aloud: Such slaughter.... ::shakes his head, silently mourning the dead and then resumes his scans::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::leans forward and looks closer at the main viewscreen:: *TO*: Is that Jem'Hadar?

CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::looks up at the screen::

Host Brett says:
INFO: Checking the bodies you find mostly unknown officers, except for one.  Lieutenant Jeffrey Keach lies atop the helm console, his back and neck broken by a savage Jem’Hadar assault.  Against one wall is slumped the body of an older woman, a Starfleet Commander.

TO_Re`Volos says:
@::takes a deep breath, and tries to analyze the pattern of the battle based on the position of the bodies::

TO_Re`Volos says:
@*CO*: It would appear so, Captain.

SO_So`Quon says:
@::recalls hearing stories from a former Andorian security officer about the brutality of the Jem'Hadar::

CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Computer: When is the last recorded Stardate that the Delphyne had contacted with Jem'Hadar besides the most recent.

Host Brett says:
Action: As the TO moves toward the entrance to the bridge, he encounters a scene of carnage.  In this narrow hallway lie the bodies of over thirty Jem’Hadar soldiers...and five Starfleet security officers.  Among them, Lieutenant Commander Re'Volos.

TO_Re`Volos says:
@::closes his eyes to the scene to collect his thoughts::

EO_Knight says:
@::Takes out his Tricorder and begins scanning until he notices Jeff on the ground.:: *TO/SO*: What in the...

SO_So`Quon says:
@::follows the TO, and notices the fallen Re'Volos:: Self: ......

TO_Re`Volos says:
@::takes a few breaths:: *CO*: Based on...based on the rank insignia it would appear that this ship is from a future date.

EO_Knight says:
@::follows suit with the rest of the party.::

CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
<Computer> CSO: The USS Delphyne has never encountered Jem'Hadar before the this Stardate.

SO_So`Quon says:
@::turns away, thinking it's best to leave the TO in peace and goes to help the EO scan some of the fallen here::

TO_Re`Volos says:
@*CO*: We have identified the bodies of Lt. Jeffrey Keach and Lt. Commander Re'Volos aboard this ship, along with other Starfleet officers, and many Jem’Hadar warriors.

EO_Knight says:
@::Stops suddenly, noticing a bronze plaque on the ground as he reads it he's frozen in fear yet manages to utter.:: *TO/SO*: U.S.S. Delphyne NCC-45264 "From legends past...."

CNS_Jakiel says:
::turns back around and wipes a tear, having gathered herself a bit more and gently moves Smith's wounded arm where she can treat it::

CSO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*TO*: What is the approximate age of those officers?

TO_Re`Volos says:
@::pulls out his tricorder and scans his doppelganger::

SO_So`Quon says:
@::looks at the plaque:: EO: We're witness to a paradox here...

EO_Knight says:
@::Is brought back to reality by the beeping his Tricorder is making.:: *TO/SO*: I'm reading a power signature!

SO_So`Quon says:
@::looks at his own tricorder getting the beeping too::

TO_Re`Volos says:
@*CSO*: It's hard to say for sure, but I would estimate six years or more to their current age.

EO_Knight says:
@::Hands the plaque to the SO and pulls out his Tricorder.:: *TO*: Trying to locate.

Host Brett says:
INFO: A PADD lies partially exposed beneath the dead commanding officer’s left leg, a faint flickering shows that a spark of battery life remains in the instrument, the only living thing on the ship.
