Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CSO:  Can you identify the trail signature and how long time it was here?

Host Kienua says:
@ COM: Cormanii: You are not suggesting it is we who led the Federation here?

CTO_Ens_Harker says:

CMO_Lt_Jakiel_OMallory says:
CO:  Sir, the Cormanii are angry about something, it seems maybe they don't trust the Q’Orphod.

Host Lacrut says:
#COM: Q'Orphod: It is well know how the Cormanii feel about the Federation.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO:  Other suggestions than stay here waiting for their next move?

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
::Thinks to self, better to be ready when they attack then getting ready when they attack.::

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
CEO: Impulse that is sir with thrusters ready and standing by if needed.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CMO:  The Cormanii don't trust anyone, remember?

Host Kienua says:
@ COM: Cormanii: Yet it is not as well know how stealthy you are ... we feel you may have failed to make certain this meeting was strictly a confidential matter.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
CMO/CO: That's because they both are accusing each other of leading us here.

CSO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:

::nods:: CO:  Yes, I remember.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
*CEO*:  Understood, Lieutenant...  ::sighs::  Thank you.

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
CEO: I am still trying to find an answer to our current dilemma with not being able to go to warp.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::looks at her husband a serious look on her face:: CO: Captain, if we attack, that would just prove to them that we are the aggressors. We have to bide our time and see what their next move is.

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
::Thinks to self, any minute now they are going to turn on us, at least we're already at stations.::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::looks up:: CO: Sir!  The Cormanii just stated that they want to finish up the negotiations so that they can 'deal' with the Federation.

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
CEO: I can detect the tears in subspace and evade them but I still can't get around the warp field problem.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO:  Exactly my thoughts... ::ponders for a second::...  take us to one quarter impulse.

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
::Thinks to self, that doesn't sound good.::

Host Kienua says:
@ COM: Cormanii: Do not address us this way. But fair enough ... it is best for all of us if we finished this and moved on.

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
EO: The only way I see is to prevent them from folding space to begin with.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
OPS:  Deal with the Federation, huh?  I know how they do that...

CSO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
CO: The ship's ion trail I picked up is not in any Starfleet registries sir.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::nods:: CO: One quarter impulse aye. ::taps her flight console again::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
CO: Moment Sir. ::Checks readouts.::

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Sees the impulse drive power down::

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
CEO: Is there maybe a subspace metal or particle we can use to stop the mechanism of folding space?

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
CO: It sounds like it won't take too long to finish up with their agreement.  I'll try and tell you when they conclude. ::listening even harder now::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CSO:  Work with Commander Adams-MacLeod and try to extrapolate this vessel's course...  just in case.

CSO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
CO: Aye sir.

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
EO: We don't know enough about how their doing it.... We need a look at that drive.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CSO: By the way, any useful scan from the planet?

CSO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
::starts to try and track the ion trail and to extrapolate the heading and reverse course.""

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
CO: On the Cormanii Ship, possibly, both, very difficult.

CSO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
FCO: But if I was this ships ion trail how do they mask it to not register on my scans? I already have these 2 ships in the database.

CTO_Ens_Harker says:

CSO: Commander, have you been able to estimate their course yet?

CSO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
CO: So nothing that might help us right now sir?

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CSO:  Eerrr, sorry Commander... it's just that your name reminds me a historical figure.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CMO:  What do you know about the Nacadarian?  Can you try to retrieve some information about them?

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::leans over to Mia: OPS: Mia, can you locate the Vesuvius by chance?

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
::Hears the CO/CSO, stifles a grin. Continues to research data.::

Host Tim says:
ACTION: ON ALL SCANS IT SHOWS A NEBULA AHEAD... THE NACANDARIANS ARE HEADING STRAIGHT FOR IT

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
::Glances at helm, wonders how far they are going to go.::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO:  Good idea, Commander.  ::looks at OPS::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
CEO: Patching it through.  Just figured out it is about their subspace folding technology.

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
::All systems still check out.::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::nods:: FCO/CO: I can try.  Don't know how far they are...let me check. ::sends out a priority one message to the Vesuvius' OPS::

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
OPS: If it's what I think it is, You have a kiss coming..., Ah who am I kidding, you'll get one anyway.. ::Laughs::

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Taps his display as the data comes through::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::glances over the CMO and wonders if she has heard his request::  CMO:  Dr. Jakiel?

CSO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
::Scans the Nebular to see what he can expect in it::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::giggles at the CEO and blushes::

CMO_Lt_Jakiel_OMallory says:
CO:  Nacandarians?  Not much, and yes I'll look in the databanks.  ::moves to the console::

Host Tim says:
ACTION: THE NACANDARIAN SHIP SLIPS INTO THE NEBULA

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
Mumbles to self: Figures....

Host Kienua says:
@ ::Comes to a screeching halt outside the Nebula as the Nacandarian vessel slips into it::

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
::looks to the Captain.::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::checks her sensors and notices a nebula ahead:: CO: Captain, we have a nebula ahead and the Nacandarian ship has just headed into it.

CSO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
CO: Sir the Nacandarian ship entered a nebular sir.

Host Lacrut says:
#::Maneuvers to go around the Q'Orphod ship and pursue the Nacandarians::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
All:  Smart guys...

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*CEO*: Sir if we go in there we will loose sensors, visuals, and quite possible our warp systems.

CSO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
CO: One of the ships has come to full stop looks like the other ones heading in sir.

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
*EO*: Acknowledged.

Host Lacrut says:
#COM: Q'Orphod: You can deal with your friends the Federation... I want that technology... and no one steals from the Cormanii.

Host Kienua says:
@ ::Watches the Cormanii fly into the nebula, leaving a burst of excess matter and gas in their wake. The Q'Orphod are fearful of losing their systems ... and of the Federation informing their home world of what has transpired here::

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
CO: We'll be blinded if we enter the nebula

Host Kienua says:
@ COM: Cormanii: They're not our friends ... ::The Q'Orphod prepare to try and subspace fold out of the area::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::ponders a while if he should order a pursuit into the nebula::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
All:  Suggestions?

CSO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
CO: Sir subspace folding is being detected sir.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO: Sir, the Cormanii and the Q'Orphod are not entering the nebula.

Host Kienua says:
@ ::They are unable to fold this close to the nebula, begin to maneuver to a safer distance::

CSO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
CO: You know my suggestion sir.

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
CO: The Q'Orphod are powering up.....They’re going to fold.....

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::listening:: CO: The Cormanii are going into the nebula...but the Q’Orphod seem reluctant to do so.

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
CO: Sir I'd love to follow but I don't think the Q'Orphod will let us even if our systems could take it.

Host Lacrut says:
#::Orders his ship to slow as it goes farther into the Nebula::

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*CEO*: Sir, I don't recommend we go in there, I have scanned the nebula and it will literally eat us up.  The nebula is classified as a ship killer sir.

CSO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
CO: Sir scans breaking up sir.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CEO:  Damn, not again...  ::glances at the FCO::  FCO:  Take us to a safe distance before they engage the folding technology.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO: Captain, our orders were to observe and gather information not engage any ships.

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
CO: Perhaps we could prevent them from leaving?

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
::hands fly over the consoles to compensate for the disruptions as the Q’Orphod begin to fold space::

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
CO: What better way to get a look at their engines.

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
CO: Tactical sensors, breaking up.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::hears the Captain and backs the Dublin to a safe distance to avoid the effects of a subspace fold again::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CEO:  We'll not engage the Q'Orphod without provocation.  ::sighs::

Host Kienua says:
@ ::The Q'Orphod get to a safe distance, and subspace fold::

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
::continues to correct for the disruptions::

CSO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
::whispers to himself:: Collect information; well having that ship would be the ultimate information.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
All:  And the last thing we need is to lose our warp capabilities inside the nebula.

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
CO; Understood

CMO_Lt_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::reads that the Nacandarians are insectoids, about four and half feet tall and weigh on average around one hundred fifty pounds...a bit hefty for their size::

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
::is hoping that someone had the sense to scan while the ship was folding space::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
CO: Sir...what about taking a shuttle in there.  We could maneuver better.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::reads her navigational sensors again:: CO: Sir, the Q'Orphod have just folded and are gone.

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
CO: We would be without sensors as well as warp if we enter the Nebula

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
All:  All stations, report.  What have we got so far?

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
OPS/CSO:  Any luck with the analysis?

CSO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
CO: I have scans on the system all three ships and the nebular and the ship subspace folding twice now sir.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
OPS:  Better save that shuttle Ensign.  ::smiles a bit::

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
CO: Two of the ships have gone through the nebula only the Q'Orphod remain.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::looks a little disappointed but grins:: CO: Aye sir.

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
CO: Scans are spotty, possible weapons fire in the nebula...

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Checks his readings:: The Q'Orphod have created another rift, but it shouldn't effect this area

Host Tim says:
ACTION: PARTS OF THE NEBULA LIGHT UP AND THEN RETURN TO NORMAL

CSO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
CO: It also looks like a fire fight in the nebular intermittent signatures of weapons fire sir.

CMO_Lt_Jakiel_OMallory says:
:: is puzzled about the information that they have been granted asylum by the Federation because they were supposedly exiled::  To herself:  Then why did they steal from those two ships...they must be out of their minds to provoke the Cormanii.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CSO:  Keep scanners checking the nebula.

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
All: Well that’s different. .::meaning the lighting up of the nebula.::

CSO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
CO: Aye sir.

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*CEO*: All disruptions have been fixed and engineering is beginning to return to normal.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO: Captain, do we enter the nebula or not?

CSO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
CO: Did you see that big light show? That could have been the breach of a warp core sir.

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
*EO*: Good work stand by, we may be entering the nebula.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::sighs and looks at the FCO::

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
::cringes as she hears that::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::frowns:: CO: Sorry Mackie, but it is your call.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO:  Enter the nebula... let's see if we can get lucky.

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
CO: Targeting scanners will be effected as well sir

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO: Yes Captain.

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
::Thinks to self, Yes::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
OPS:  Let the entire crew know we're entering the nebula. ::leans backwards on his chair::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CEO:  I am aware of it, Lieutenant.  ::remembers of the Owlston nebula::  Do you best to give us a vision.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
CO: Aye sir. ::sends a ship wide announcement to that effect::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::thinks to herself:: Self: Get ready folks, we're going in.

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
CO: Aye, that I will sir.

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
Self:  Oh joy here we go.

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
mumbles to self:  Away we go

CMO_Lt_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::reads that Val'Tra is their queen. Their government is hierarchical. Continues reading::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::thinks:: CEO: Lieutenant, I can try and ping in the nebula.  Maybe get a sonar image.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CMO:  Anything interesting, Doctor?

CEO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
OPS: Might help, but the changing density will be a challenge

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::grins:: CEO: You let me worry about that.

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
::Checks weapons status.::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
All: Entering the nebula in two minutes.

CMO_Lt_Jakiel_OMallory says:
CO:  Actually, quite a bit of it.  What we know about them would not have suggested such a stealthy maneuver.

CMO_Lt_Jakiel_OMallory says:
CO:  It seems they are more opportunistic than the Federation knew.

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
::begins make her adjustments for the view screen and the rest of the sensor problems that are going to come up::

Host Tim says:
<<<Pause Mission>>>

Host Lacrut says:
<<<Pause Mission>>>
