CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
CTO: I detected no signs of chronotron particles, Commander. Though if we did travel through time, it was by a method I am not certain of.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::sighs at the lack of information.::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::turns abruptly at what Paige just said:: CTO:  Pez?  ::shakes her head and sighs::  I should have known...

SO_Ens_Delgado says:
XO: I can send one toward the space where the rift appeared. See if up close there are more radiations than the ones we can pick from here.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
XO: Yes Ma'am. Pez.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CTO:  I'm sorry, Paige.  Did you say that earlier?

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
CTO: Let’s try to concentrate on our current status. We obviously can't do anything about Pez from here.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
XO: Yes Ma'am but we were then pulled into a rift, I understand if we had other things on our mind for a few moments.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
CO: Yes Sir.

CEO_Ens_Hembrook says:
*XO*: Sir, I may have spoken too soon... I'm getting a drain on the EPS grid. Unless I can find a solution we'll be without power in approximately 48 hours, give or take. I'm already working on the problem. Just try to cut all unneeded power use.

CTO: Can you locate the source of the EM pulse?

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
CO: One moment Sir.

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
*XO*: Well thanks for the warning but that was a bust wasn't it?

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::feels her hands trembling and unclenches them::  ~~~CNS: This whole thing is peculiar.  I remember the last time we were pulled into a rift...~~~

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::checks.::

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
:: steps into the nearest turbolift :: Computer: Bridge!

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
*CMO*: It was.  I do not know whether to be relieved or upset that it was.

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
SO: Range to planets atmosphere now?

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
~~~XO: A part of me had wished it was Isis bringing us to her. I have been concerned of her whereabouts since she disappeared and left us behind.~~~

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::looks and sounds puzzled.:: CO: Seems to be coming from planets atmosphere...

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
*XO*: I'll be up there in a moment. I want to see for myself what's happening.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::Continues to try to get more information.::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
*CMO*: Good idea.  The planet seems to want us to make a visit.

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
CTO: Really?.......Nothing to lock onto?

SO_Ens_Delgado says:
CO: We are 175,000 k from the planet and we can resist the pull for not more than 48 hours.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
CO: No sir, not yet. ::still sounds puzzled as she tries to get more information.::

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
:: steps onto the bridge and walks directly to the Captain :: CO: Captain, this is really getting out of hand. I lose my assistant to bridge duty and then you cut my power and now......

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::Sends information to SO’s station.::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::listens to the doctor:: CMO: Ensign!  As you were!

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CMO:  We are in a serious situation, please.

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
CMO: Excuse me doctor!

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
::whirls around in his seat and looks at the CO, XO, and CMO with deep concern::

SO_Ens_Delgado says:
CNS: Can we scan the planet looking for a suitable place to land?

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
CO/XO:  Sirs, suggest we launch those probes that Ensign Delgado was preparing to get some scientific data from the planet.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
CO/XO: Ancient ship wreckage on planet...seems like this siren act has gone on for awhile...

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
:: stands there, her hands on her hips :: XO/CO: Relax you two. We'll be perfectly fine. :: smiles sweetly ::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::is appalled the doctor would speak with such a disrespectful tone in such a serious situation::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CMO:  Take a seat and I'll speak to you later, Ensign!

CEO_Ens_Hembrook says:
::Starts looking at the possibility of using the deflector to emit an anti-pulse to cancel the EM pulse effects::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
CO/XO: Some Klingon but really old design.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::Sends info on EM to CEO.::

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
::stands slowly and moves to the SO's console:: SO: Yes, I have some potential landing sites suitable for us to land...

SO_Ens_Delgado says:
CO/XO: Maybe there is some reference to this place in Klingon lore, sirs. 

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::continues to state information as she gets it from sensors.::

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
:: does as ordered and takes a seat, not sure why the XO has her knickers in such a twist ::

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
XO: It just keeps getting better.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
OPS:  Yes.  We were...distracted.  Do launch those probes.

CEO_Ens_Hembrook says:
::Looks over the new data and adds it to her calculations::

SO_Ens_Delgado says:
CNS: Thank you sir, it may prove useful later.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
XO:  Aye, ma'am.  ::Launches the probes that the SO had readied.::

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
::Nods as the XO orders the probes launched.:: XO: I have another idea.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::shakes her head::  CO: This is not your average mission, for sure.

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
::looks back at the three again, then hears bleep signals on his console and he goes back to check::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::is very interested in hearing:: CO:  Yes sir.  What would that be?

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
XO: Wonder if a shuttle could get around the dampening field?

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::nods slowly, considering::  CO:  I would think it could.  That might be a good idea considering we only found low level life.

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
:: sits there watching the time and listening to the Captain ::

SO_Ens_Delgado says:
OPS: Can you make a search on our Klingon database to see if they know of a place like that?

CEO_Ens_Hembrook says:
*XO*: Bridge, I had a thought. What if we used the main deflector to generate a pulse that was set to cancel the harmonics of the EM pulse attacking the ship?

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
XO: Maybe we could get some readings.

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
SO: Your comment on Klingon lore is ironic, ensign. Seems there is some very old wreckage. Most of which does not match the database records, but there are some of Klingon design...very obsolete design.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Nods to the SO.::  SO:  Will do, searching now.  ::Accesses the database.::

SO_Ens_Delgado says:
CNS: Maybe they know something we don’t know, if they had spaceflight they kept records.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CO: We are a science vessel and we do seem to have no other choice at the moment.  Information is key in decision making.

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
*CEO*: Work out the details and be ready to implement it on my order.

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
:: closes her eyes and concentrates, a smile crossing her face ::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
SO:  Might be interesting to find out if they were drawn here by the rift as well.

CEO_Ens_Hembrook says:
*CO*: Aye-aye Captain. ::Begins crunching the numbers and running test simulations::

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
XO: Ask for volunteers for the shuttle ride.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::has kept half an ear on Quon's discussion::

SO_Ens_Delgado says:
OPS: Yes it looks like the myth of Ulysses on Earth. 

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  Yes sir.  I would like to volunteer myself also.  My genetics background could be highly useful.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
ALL:  I'm pulling up information on the Klingon legends now.  The database shows several old Klingon legends such as earth's one of Avalon .. an island beyond the stars .. where heroes go.

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
XO: My suggestion still stands, Tessa. We should land Dublin before the power drain becomes critical. While I do like the CEO's idea of using the deflector array, it could drain more power than we need if it fails.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
Self:  That does *not* sound good.

SO_Ens_Delgado says:
OPS: Good job Tayla.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
CNS:  I think I agree with you.  Perhaps we can find the source of the power drain on the planet and disable it.

SO_Ens_Delgado says:
OPS/CNS: I am with you, but this is not a democracy unfortunately.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
ALL: The Captain has asked for volunteers to go down to the planet's surface for fact finding.  It could be dangerous.  I'll make a decision after I hear the volunteers.

SO_Ens_Delgado says:
XO: I volunteer. I would love to go down there Ma'am.

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
::Looks at Tessa with wonder::

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Hears the SO, and feels her duty kicking in.::  XO:  I'll go too, Ma'am.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CNS: Yes, that's possible.  ::turns to the Captain::  CO: Do you think we should land so we can reserve our power supplies?

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
XO: I'll Go, if nee...::stops looking down at her readings in surprise...::CO/XO: One vessel, nearly gone...looks... Comanii

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::notices the look the Captain is giving her:: CO: Sir?

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
Any: What is this place?

CMO_Ens_Danara says:
:: would volunteer, but was told to keep quiet ::

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
XO: See what close orbit scans tell us. You may not have a choice after you get close.

CEO_Ens_Hembrook says:
::Continues to work on the power problem::

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
::looks at Paige with a curious eye:: CTO: Cor..manii?

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
XO: Take those two with you and get going.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CTO:  Cormanni?!  This might change things...

SO_Ens_Delgado says:
::starts to analyze the readings from the probes::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
CNS/XO: Yes.

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
SO:  Anything interesting on those probes I launched?

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
~~~CNS: This just couldn't get worse!  We need to update the Captain on a lot of things...~~~

SO_Ens_Delgado says:
OPS: I am still sorting through the data. 

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
CTO: I'm afraid I haven't heard of that species before, commander.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
CNS: I see.. ::calls up information on the species and sends it to CNS's station.::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
CNS: Let’s just say their not pleasant to work around.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  Yes sir.  And would it be wise to bring some tactical?

Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
XO: Very well

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Stands up to go with the XO.::  XO:  Ready, Ma'am.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  Thank you, Captain.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
OPS/SO:  You're with me to go down to the planet.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
~~~CNS:  The Cormanii...a most terrifying species!~~~

SO_Ens_Delgado says:
XO: Shuttlecraft or do we beam down?

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
XO:  Are we taking weapons?

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
~~~CNS: Check my extensive notes while I'm gone...~~~

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
CTO: I see... ::looks at the information of the last encounter with vicious Cormanii, then notes a reference to certain Andorian officer who had served on the ship before::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
OPS/SO:  We'll take the shuttlecraft.  ::heads towards the turbolift::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::Volunteers to go down to the planet.::

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
~~~XO: I will, please be careful, Tessa.~~~

OPS_Cadet_Daniels says:
::Follows the XO to the TL.::

SO_Ens_Delgado says:
::follows them to the turbo lift::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
~~~CNS: I will be extra careful!~~~  CTO:  Paige, you too.  We need you.

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
::gets another officer to cover her station and orders by comm a few other Tac to meet them.::

CTO_Lt_Commander_Harker says:
XO: Yes Ma'am

CNS_LtCmdr_So`Quon says:
XO: Be advised that the EM pulse is coming from the planet itself. We will keep transporter locks on all of you just in case.

Host Tim says:
ACTION: THE AWAY TEAM CONSISTING OF XO, SO, OPS AND CTO ENTER THE SHUTTLE AND LAUNCH FROM DUBLIN
