CSO_Gomes says:
SO: Get the probes ready for launch, both those calibrated for the nebula and for the space around it

OPS_Seppela says:
::checks the sensor pod, making sure it's working alright::

Host XO_Wall says:
CSO: our those modifications ready to the sensors ready?

Host FM_Selan says:
<Lt. Tima> ::Brings the ship to a complete stop:: XO: We've arrived, sir. Should I begin an orbit around the nebula, or take us in?

CIV_Maor says:
::Looks around:: *CEO* Where are you located, Sir?

SO_Ruskinara says:
CSO: Aye Ma'am.  ::gets to work on calibrating the probes::

CSO_Gomes says:
XO: Yes sir they are ... I just finished the last minute arrangements

CMO_Zaris says:
::in sickbay talking to the medical staff::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> ::Listening to the CMO::

Host XO_Wall says:
Lt. Tima: orbit for now, I want us to get a complete scan before we enter, just to be safe

CSO_Gomes says:
XO/CO: We are starting to receive readings on subspace distortions in the area, they are beginning to fade away

CEO_Farewell says:
::slightly stressed walking along one of the corridors on deck 33, looking for one of his teams, carrying a PADD with engineering specs with him::  Self: Oh come on, where are they..?

Host FM_Selan says:
<Lt. Tima> ::Begins to maneuver the Elara on an orbital path, making sure to avoid fading distortions::

CSO_Gomes says:
CIV: If you have the time help the SO with the probes please 

Host XO_Wall says:
*CO*: Captain, we have arrive at the Nebula, sir

SO_Ruskinara says:
::smiles at the CSO's instructions, but continues her work as if she didn't hear::

Host CO_David says:
::looks up from his PADD:: *XO* On my way.  ::rises and heads for the bridge::

OPS_Seppela says:
::reading over sensor readouts at the same time as reading the ship's status report. Just feels like something's going to go wrong::

TO_Pazoski says:
::strolls purposefully into ME and sets up his teams around the place, he takes a long hard look at the warp core::

CIV_Maor says:
::Looks up at the CSO:: CSO: I'll just get the CEO to take over my work, seeing he was here when we worked on the sensors last time

CMO_Zaris says:
Medical Staff: so at this point we have been ordered to post at least one medical team on each deck.. your assignments have been posted to the general database.. so be sure you review that.. those who's shifts just ended or have not had 8 hours down time since last shift are to remain in these areas here ::points to the wall console::

CEO_Farewell says:
::taps his commbadge, still a bit irritated::  *CIV*: Farewell here...

Host XO_Wall says:
CSO: very good begin all sensor sweeps

CTO_Timrok says:
::continues monitoring tactical scans ::

CIV_Maor says:
*CEO* Are you free? I need you help with the Sensors for a few minutes..

CSO_Gomes says:
::nods to the XO:: XO: Already on it ::increases power to the extra sensor arrays::

CSO_Gomes says:
XO: There are five distinct distortions in the area, in a 34 AU radius

CSO_Gomes says:
XO: It is very possible that there are more inside the nebula

CMO_Zaris says:
Medical Staff: those designated team 18 are to head to the back and try to rest while you can.. no one has told us what we might find.. so be ready for anything.. dismissed

Host XO_Wall says:
OPS: make sure we are ready to keep in comm with all other Starfleet vessels in the area

CEO_Farewell says:
::thinks for few as he spots the his team working on one of the access panels::  *CIV*: Understood, I will be up on the bridge in 5 minutes...

Host CO_David says:
::enters the bridge:: All:  Report.

TO_Pazoski says:
*CTO*: Pazoski to Timrok, security is in place on every deck sir, we will be ready if anything happens ::under his breath:: I hope ::aloud again:: shall I remain in engineering or head to the bridge?

CNS_Pazoski says:
::watching the screen and bridge crew quietly::

CIV_Maor says:
*CEO* Thank you, Maor our.

OPS_Seppela says:
XO: Aye sir. ::does the needed stuff::

CIV_Maor says:
::Raises, he walks to the direction of the SO::

CMO_Zaris says:
::goes back to her office.. hopes Lin and Shane are safe elsewhere on the ship::

CTO_Timrok says:
*TO* Excellent, return to the bridge

Host XO_Wall says:
CO: I have put us in orbit, we are running sensors sweeps to check it out before we enter if possible

SO_Ruskinara says:
CSO: The probes are ready, Ma'am.

CSO_Gomes says:
XO: But I must warn you sir, the Madtion nebula is class seven .. as such it is very active and will cause loss of shields and automatic targeting systems

TO_Pazoski says:
*CTO*: On my way sir ::nods to the security members in ME and heads off into the TL and up to the bridge::

CTO_Timrok says:
CO/XO: we have the USS Scimitar & Andromeda on Long range sensors

CSO_Gomes says:
SO: Acknowledged, keep them ready, so far sensors seam to be picking up all we need

Host XO_Wall says:
OPS: could we modify the shields and targeting systems to compensate

Host CO_David says:
::nods to the XO:: CSO: Anything on sensors so far?

SO_Ruskinara says:
::nods and runs extra checks to ensure the probes work and maximum efficiency::

CEO_Farewell says:
::arrives at his team's position, looking at Daniels while wiping some sweat of his forehead::  Daniels: Take these specs, they should give you the appropriate information, if you run into problems, give me call, I'll be on the bridge...  ::hands Daniels his PADD::

CIV_Maor says:
::Closes on the SO, he looks around for a moment:: SO: Do you require any help, Ma'am? ::Grins::

CMO_Zaris says:
::has a seat and goes over a few medical files::

CSO_Gomes says:
CO: Only the 5 distortions we detected earlier

OPS_Seppela says:
XO: No sir, the nebula would completely distort the shield bubble. As for the targeting scanners, we can't hit what we can't see.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> ::Knocks on the CMO's door::

SO_Ruskinara says:
::coughs slightly:: CIV: Are you implying I'm not capable of doing my job? ::grins back::

CSO_Gomes says:
::hears Maor calling ma'am to the SO and frowns::

CMO_Zaris says:
Computer, patch wall panel 34-D and 25-A main into the Bridge master display unit.. and second window main sensors.. 

Host CO_David says:
CSO: How much information do you have on them?

TO_Pazoski says:
::exits the TL onto the bridge and makes his way over to Timrok::

CSO_Gomes says:
::scans for more distortions::

CMO_Zaris says:
::looks up:: MO_Raythan: yes?

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> ::Watches the data flow onto the screens:: CMO: I was coming to see if you were all right ma'am, some of the staff were concerned.

Host XO_Wall says:
OPS/CTO: work together with Engineering to see if we could do something about those systems

CEO_Farewell says:
::after nodding at Daniels he quickly moves on and enters the nearest Turbo Lift::  TL: Bridge!

CMO_Zaris says:
MO_Raythan: oh? ::puts down her padd and leans on her arms:: and why is that?

CIV_Maor says:
SO: Maybe ::Smiles and sits down::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> ::Nervous, somewhat:: CMO: Well ... ma'am ... permission to speak freely.

CSO_Gomes says:
CO: They are fading rapidly so I don't even know if they are artificial or not

TO_Pazoski says:
CTO: All quiet out there sir?

CMO_Zaris says:
MO_Raythan: fine.. go right ahead..

OPS_Seppela says:
XO: I'll do what I can. ::taps comm badge:: *CEO*: Mr. Farewell, if you're available could you please come to the bridge? We need your help with some modifications.

CSO_Gomes says:
CO: However entering the nebula may give us more information.. but we'll loose automatic targeting and shields

SO_Ruskinara says:
::hands the CIV a padd and grins:: CIV: There you go...::chuckles:: Sir.

CNS_Pazoski says:
::notes that Peter is on the bridge but remains quietly focused and watching::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> CMO: You're not your usual joyful self. I mean, we saw you out during the snowball fight ... and you were having so much fun, but now ... you just seem ... ::Trying to find the right word:: grumpy.

CIV_Maor says:
::Grabs the PADD, he raises an eyebrow and begins to read it::

CEO_Farewell says:
*OPS*: On my way...I'll be there in less then a minute...

Host CO_David says:
CSO: Ready a probe first.  Lets see what happens.  Fire when ready.

CSO_Gomes says:
SO: Make sure the probes can "see" inside that nebula .. its extremely active

CTO_Timrok says:
::turns to Pazoski:: TO: nothing unexpected so far, i trust your people are expecting the unexpected though

CSO_Gomes says:
CO: Aye sir

CMO_Zaris says:
::takes a deep breath:: MO_Raythan: close the door and have a seat..

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> ::Blanches ... has a feeling she's in trouble. Closes the door and takes a seat::

Host XO_Wall says:
CO: we are working to see if we could modify the shields and targeting scanners so we have them if we need them

CSO_Gomes says:
SO: Launch the first probe to 500 meters inside the nebula

SO_Ruskinara says:
CSO: What frequencies should I modulate the probes to?

TO_Pazoski says:
CTO: Yes sir, they have had a lot of that lately

Host FM_Selan says:
<Lt. Tima> ::Monitoring their orbital course::

CIV_Maor says:
::Glances around:: OPS: Did you see the CEO?

CMO_Zaris says:
::leans back and considers what to say.. while looking at the medical officer and then glancing at the wall panel to look at the nebula in front of the ship::

OPS_Seppela says:
CIV: Not yet he's on his way.

CSO_Gomes says:
SO: The first one put the approximate frequency the sensors give us .. the others will adjust better. but launch it as soon as possible

CSO_Gomes says:
SO: We can't let those readings fade too much

SO_Ruskinara says:
::gets a probe ready and launches it immediately::

Host CO_David says:
XO: Any luck so far?

CNS_Pazoski says:
::gets up and leaves the bridge::

CIV_Maor says:
::Frowns, he turns around and studies the sensor pod readings:: Self: I guess I'll do it until he'll make his way here

Host XO_Wall says:
CO: they have just begun, we don't know yet

OPS_Seppela says:
::looks out the viewscreen at the nebula. It looks so ominous::

CIV_Maor says:
::Changes a few screens and begins to compare the readings with his original PADD::

CMO_Zaris says:
MO Raythan: I suppose i am a bit grumpy.. personal matters do take a toll on you sometimes.. and I must admit I'm not happy with Having my SFI family on the ship.. now...

CSO_Gomes says:
CO: The probe is away

CEO_Farewell says:
::as the TL reaches the bridge he steps out, locating the CIV and OPS and decides to head for the CIV first::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> ::Nods::

TO_Pazoski says:
::notes his wife leaving the bridge, wonders::

SO_Ruskinara says:
CSO: Ma'am contact has been lost with the probe.  ::frowns::

CSO_Gomes says:
SO: Monitor the status of the probe .. I'll check the nebula readings

CSO_Gomes says:
SO: So soon !

CIV_Maor says:
::Glances at the viewscreen for a second::

Host CO_David says:
CSO: Acknowledged.

OPS_Seppela says:
::looks up as Farewell enters the bridge and walks over to Maor. He turns back to the viewscreen::

CSO_Gomes says:
CO: We've lost the probe as soon as it entered the nebula ...

Host CO_David says:
XO: Keep at it, I have a strange feeling about this.

Host CO_David says:
CSO: What data did you get from it?

CSO_Gomes says:
CO: It must be more active than we thought ...

CEO_Farewell says:
::nods at the CIV::  CIV: You needed my assistance, Commander ?

SO_Ruskinara says:
CSO: I'm unsure as to what caused it.

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: Suddenly, a soothing "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas" begins to play throughout the speakers of the ship.

CMO_Zaris says:
::leans forward on her arms:: MO: you can tell the staff to be patient and things will work out.. as for any complaints my mood may have on this department.. are there any?

CSO_Gomes says:
SO: Did we get any readings at all from the probe?

Host XO_Wall says:
::turns around to look at the viewscreen...what a Nebula:: CO: me too especially with no shields and targeting scanners ::smirks::

CMO_Zaris says:
::sits up and looks at the ceiling::

CTO_Timrok says:
::looks up at the speakers::

SO_Ruskinara says:
CSO: I thought we'd adequately compens...what the hell? ::blinks at the music::

CSO_Gomes says:
::shakes her head wondering if the music is in her mind::

CIV_Maor says:
::Turns back:: CEO: Good, you came. You remember what we did with the sensor pod last time? Well, we need to compare all the readings to the original data from the PADD we got on SB595, can you help me with that please?

CSO_Gomes says:
All: Are the speakers working alright?

CMO_Zaris says:
*Bridge*: is this a joke?

TO_Pazoski says:
::looks up at the sound in a mixture of shock and wonder:: Self: Here we go then...

CNS_Pazoski says:
::walking down the corridor she looks confused::

OPS_Seppela says:
::looks up as the music comes on and mumbles:: Self: Somebody’s gonna get it.. ::checks his console to see who piped the music through, expecting Andersen or someone::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> CMO: No complaints, ma'am. They're just concerned. I can understand family ... sometimes you need them, sometimes you can do without them ... ::Looks up at the music and smiles::

Host CO_David says:
::looks up:: OPS: What is that?

SO_Ruskinara says:
All: IF this is someone's idea of a practical joke it's not funny.....

Host XO_Wall says:
CO: Christmas music sir

OPS_Seppela says:
CO: I believe it is an old Earth song sir. ::shuts it off:: Compliments of Mr. Sternbach.

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The music shuts off.

CSO_Gomes says:
SO: Am I hearing things?

CNS_Pazoski says:
::shrugs and keeps going::

OPS_Seppela says:
*Sternbach*: Seppela to Sternbach. Care to explain what that was for?

SO_Ruskinara says:
::glances at the CSO:: CSO: No...someone's trying to be funny.  ::smirks::

CEO_Farewell says:
::nods::  CIV: Of course... easiest way would be to run a comparison program and analyse the main area's individually, that would also minimize the chance that we would leave things out...

Host FM_Selan says:
<Lt. Jg. Sternbach> *OPS* Sorry, sir. Was testing something ... sort of hit the wrong button.

SO_Ruskinara says:
CSO: If only people would stick to their jobs instead of messing around.

CMO_Zaris says:
MO Raythan: good.. ::grins:: now.. head out doctor.. we get to guard the hallways today

TO_Pazoski says:
CTO: You know sometimes I love the humor of this crew sir ::shakes head::

SO_Ruskinara says:
::glances over at Maor wondering what he's up to::

Host CO_David says:
::raises his eyebrow::  OPS:  Quite alright...leave it on, turn it down a bit though.

CSO_Gomes says:
CO: ... now that the music is over ... no we never got any data on the probe .... we just lost it

OPS_Seppela says:
*Sternbach*: See that it doesn't happen again. ::cuts the comm::

CTO_Timrok says:
::raises an eyebrow at the TO::

Host CO_David says:
::walks over to the CSO::  CSO: Nothing?   What could be in there thats doing that?

CIV_Maor says:
CEO: I tried that, but it gave too much space for an computer error, we'll have to do it manually I'm afraid.

OPS_Seppela says:
CO: Ahh.. ok sir. ::puts it back on and dims it ways down, confused::

CSO_Gomes says:
CO: I'm not sure .. maybe some sort of reflective layer inside the nebula that doesn't allow us to get transmissions from inside it

CSO_Gomes says:
CO: That or the probe was destroyed ....

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The song comes back on, as per the CO's request, but it is low enough to be tolerable.

CMO_Zaris says:
::watches the MO leave and close the door behind her.. sighs::

TO_Pazoski says:
CTO: Or maybe not... ::looks apprehensive::

Host CO_David says:
CSO:  Launch a class nine probe, boost it's shields as best as you can.

CEO_Farewell says:
::sighs::  CIV: They are not cutting us a brake then are they.. ::smiles softly::  I'll check with OPS for a few and be back after that.... I'm working collecting all things that need to be done...

SO_Ruskinara says:
::gets to work on boosting the shields of the probe to be launched::  CSO: I'll try a different frequency this time.

CSO_Gomes says:
OPS: Can you find where that is comming from?

Host XO_Wall says:
All: this is nice ::referring to the music::

CIV_Maor says:
CEO: No rush

CSO_Gomes says:
::nods to the CO::CO: Working on it

CMO_Zaris says:
::looks at the ceiling again and mutes the computer in her office.. leans back and starts looking over the files again::

OPS_Seppela says:
CSO: The music? Captain's orders, strange enough.

CSO_Gomes says:
::nods to the SO:: SO: I hope it works .. but something tells me it won't

SO_Ruskinara says:
::gives the XO an amused look:: XO: If you like that sort of thing, sir.

CEO_Farewell says:
::nods::  CIV: Thanks..  ::walks over to OPS::  OPS: You wanted to speak to me as well...?

SO_Ruskinara says:
::nods:: CSO: I know.....it's just going to be one of those days.

CSO_Gomes says:
::looks to the CO raising an eyebrow:: CO: Sir?

CSO_Gomes says:
SO: Try something .. program the probe to come back after spending 10 seconds inside the nebula

OPS_Seppela says:
CEO: Uhh.. oh yea. The commander would like to know if there is anyway to modify our shields and targeting scanners to work inside the nebula. I don't think it's possible, but you might have an idea?

CIV_Maor says:
::Turns to the SO, he notices she's busy::

Host CO_David says:
::grins:: CSO:  Might as well keep a light heart while you do your job.

Host XO_Wall says:
SO: Part of growing up on Earth with old fashion parents

CTO_Timrok says:
TO: work with OPS & CEO on  the shield & targeting modifications, i seem to remember you enjoy dabbling with such things

CSO_Gomes says:
CO: I suppose ...

SO_Ruskinara says:
CSO: I better make that eight seconds to be on the safe side.  ::winks at Maor::

CSO_Gomes says:
SO: Do it ... fast

CMO_Zaris says:
::looks over another file and rubs her head::

CIV_Maor says:
::Smiles and turns to his terminal::

SO_Ruskinara says:
::launches a second modified probe into the nebula::

SO_Ruskinara says:
XO: I have to admit...some of those Earth customs are very cozy.

CMO_Zaris says:
::stares at the master display relayed into sickbay and leans back in her chair::

CNS_Pazoski says:
::enters her office, grabs a PADD from the desk, then heads off along the corridor again::

TO_Pazoski says:
CTO: Will do ::walks over to the CIV and OPS, remembers he still has his rifle over his shoulder, shrugs:: CIV/OPS: Anything I can help you with?

CEO_Farewell says:
::thinks for a moment::  OPS: And I think you're not far off with that conclusion... I'll have a look at the Starfleet Engineering Database and see if I can find anything useful...

SO_Ruskinara says:
::looks around to make sure no one is watching and taps Maor's back and then quickly turns round to her console::

Host XO_Wall says:
SO: yes they were

CSO_Gomes says:
CO: The probe was launched sir....

CSO_Gomes says:
::looks at the readings::

SO_Ruskinara says:
CSO: Anything new, Ma'am?

CMO_Zaris says:
::thinks about all the things that’s happened in recent days.. lays a hand on her now flat stomach and finds herself not use to being normal yet::

CSO_Gomes says:
CO: Humm ... as expected we lost contact when it entered the nebula but now that its out its sending information

CIV_Maor says:
TO: Hrm.. Unless you can hel.. ::Looks back at the SO and shakes his head in amusement, he looks back at the TO:: help me with my current task?

OPS_Seppela says:
CEO: I'm sure if you could find anything it would earn you more than a couple bonus marks with the Captain. ::grins and turns to Pazoski:: TO: You have any ideas how we could get a stable shield bubble up in the nebula?

CSO_Gomes says:
CO: There are no abnormal readings from inside the probe ... just that communications will be a problem

Host CO_David says:
CSO:  Understood.  ::sighs::

SO_Ruskinara says:
::gives Maor an innocent look::

OPS_Seppela says:
TO: ...or targeting scanners?

CNS_Pazoski says:
::strolls into sickbay and glances around::

Host CO_David says:
CTO: Boost shield strength as much as possible.

CSO_Gomes says:
CO/SO: So if we want to know what is deep inside it either we send a probe and wait several hours or days for it to come back

CTO_Timrok says:
::quickly diverts power to the shields::

Host CO_David says:
Tima:  Take us in, one-quarter impulse.

CMO_Zaris says:
::stands up and closes out the panels in her office.. and leaves sickbay::

CIV_Maor says:
OPS: Sure, first you get the CEO to help you then the TO? ::Frowns and grins after a brief moment::

CSO_Gomes says:
CO/SO: or we go in ourselves

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The CMO walks into the CNS ... w/o violence.

SO_Ruskinara says:
CSO: Just what I was thinking...a shuttlecraft.

CMO_Zaris says:
CNS: oh.. hi

CSO_Gomes says:
Self: I guess we go in ...

Host FM_Selan says:
<Lt. Tima> CO: Aye, sir. ::Maneuvers the Elara into the nebula, one quarter impulse::

CNS_Pazoski says:
CMO: erm Hi

TO_Pazoski says:
OPS: Well what’s this nebula composed off, surely we could filter out those elements from the sensor readings, but not sure about the shields...

CEO_Farewell says:
::grins at OPS then turns to face the CIV and TO::

CSO_Gomes says:
SO: its possible but then we would not take advantage of the extra sensors

CMO_Zaris says:
CNS: I was just going to astrometrics.. get a better view.. want to join me?

CSO_Gomes says:
SO: Not to mention the time it would take to prepare the shuttle .. the readings could fade away

SO_Ruskinara says:
CSO: Is it not too dangerous to use the ship Ma'am?

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Elara comes about and moves into the glimmering white and blue nebula. Upon entering, shields go down completely ... despite the power increase. Targeting locks are lost. However, the new sensor pod is gathering loads of information on the nebula.

OPS_Seppela says:
::looks at Maor, then grins a little, without saying anything, and turns back to the TO:: Class 7 nebula. You'll have to talk with Ms Gomes about what's in there, I wasn't very good at science...::turns to his console as they enter the nebula::

CSO_Gomes says:
SO: Prepare to receive the data from the nebula, record everything

CNS_Pazoski says:
::nods:: CMO: Sure.

Host CO_David says:
CSO: Report.

SO_Ruskinara says:
::nods and gets to work::

CTO_Timrok says:
CO: shields are offline

CSO_Gomes says:
::monitors the data comming in for any unusual readings::

CEO_Farewell says:
TO: Well, I'll leave with OPS, let me know if you need anything...

CMO_Zaris says:
:walks with the CNS to the lift:: CNS: left out of things again huh?

SO_Ruskinara says:
::grins and pokes Maor in the back again, while he's talking to the OPS, finds this amusing::

OPS_Seppela says:
XO: Sensor pod is going crazy sir, reading things I never even knew about...

Host FM_Selan says:
<Lt. Tima> CO: Any specific course you want, sir?

CTO_Timrok says:
CO: i recommend we withdraw

CEO_Farewell says:
CIV: All right, let's do our job... even I can't do 12 things at the same time.. ::smiles::

CSO_Gomes says:
CO: All readings in accordance with what is expected

TO_Pazoski says:
CSO: Ma'am, could I get a breakdown of the nebula's composition at the OPS station please

CNS_Pazoski says:
::smiles:: CMO: Well yes it is fairly quiet on the bridge.

CSO_Gomes says:
CO: Just an active class 7 nebula ...

Host CO_David says:
Tima: Hold present course until otherwise ordered,

CIV_Maor says:
::Turns back again, he blinks at the SO:: SO: Are you having fun Mir..? ::Smirks and turns to the CEO::

Host XO_Wall says:
::watches a panel as all this data pours in from the sensors:: OPS: I see its amazing

CMO_Zaris says:
::walks in the lift:: CNS: so is sickbay.. quiet i can handle but not for too long.. ::presses the deck key::

CSO_Gomes says:
TO: Sure ::sends the information gathered so far to OPS::

Host CO_David says:
CTO: I don't like it either Commander, but we have to find out what’s in this nebula.

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: On the viewscreen, the crew can see the magnificent birth of a nearby sun not that far away ... but not close enough to be of a danger.

CIV_Maor says:
CEO: Please, have a seat ::Gestures at SCI 4::

CTO_Timrok says:
CO: at what cost sir?

SO_Ruskinara says:
::lowers her voice so only Maor can here:: CIV: I can't help touching you...::tries not to laugh::

CNS_Pazoski says:
::nods:: CMO:I know what you mean ::pauses:: So how is Shane, not keeping you up all night I hope?

Host XO_Wall says:
CO: ::stunned in amazement watching the viewscreen, I think this is why I joined the Academy::

TO_Pazoski says:
CSO: Thanks ::begins looking over the data:: OPS: If we could get the tactical scanners to ignore these elements ::points:: it might make them a bit clearer

CSO_Gomes says:
SO: Perhaps that is the source of all this activity ....

Host FM_Selan says:
<Edit XO, remove the latter :: and put it at the end of his physical action>

CIV_Maor says:
::Looks back in amazement:: SO: Wha.. t?

OPS_Seppela says:
TO: ::nods:: I'll do what I can... ::fingers start to fly over the console, telling the scanners to ignore certain elements::

SO_Ruskinara says:
::grins at Maor::

Host CO_David says:
XO: I know the feeling Commander.  I just wish we weren't so vulnerable.

CSO_Gomes says:
All: Its quite an amazing sight ... but a dangerous one too

CEO_Farewell says:
::nods at the CIV and heads for one of the free SCI stations, quickly opening a window configuring a search for similar situations::

SO_Ruskinara says:
CSO: Perhaps, but unlikely Ma'am.

CMO_Zaris says:
::leans on the wall as the lift moves:: CNS: no.. Lin has basically taken over those duties.. I sometimes feel like an outsider in my own quarters.. I'm going to talk to Jason.. maybe get a different room for myself.. or just move to my office ::the lift stops and doors open::

CSO_Gomes says:
SO: It seams so ... it would be easier if it were

Host CO_David says:
CSO: Anything unusual yet?

OPS_Seppela says:
::continues filtering stuff out, hoping it's going to work::

SO_Ruskinara says:
CSO: Nothing ever seems easy anymore Ma'am. ::sigh::

CSO_Gomes says:
CO: We are receiving lots of readings .... but nothing unusual so far

TO_Pazoski says:
OPS: With luck we wont need them

Host XO_Wall says:
CSO: its going to takes all the science departments months to sort through this data

CNS_Pazoski says:
::waits for the CMO to exit first:: CMO: I am sure that you will get things in order sooner rather than later.

CSO_Gomes says:
SO: Yes .. and the more we know the more complicated it becomes

CMO_Zaris says:
CNS: the way my staff is talking I'm going mental.. ::shakes her head and walks down the hallway::

Host CO_David says:
Self: I don't like this.

CSO_Gomes says:
SO: But this is something strange... what could cause a gap in a nebula?

Host CO_David says:
CTO: Anything on tactical sensors?

CSO_Gomes says:
CO: I'm getting something .. not exactly an unusual readings .. just a lack of readings. There seems to be a gap in the nebula

Host XO_Wall says:
CO: perhaps we should back away further from this?

OPS_Seppela says:
TO: True, but if it weren't for bad luck Starfleet would be much different than it is today. I've come to hope for the best, but expect the worst.

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Elara continues it's course through the nebula, the matter flowing around them ... ripples and waves resulting in their wake as though the nebula was an ocean.

CSO_Gomes says:
CO/SO/XO: Its quite large...

Host CO_David says:
Tima: All stop.

TO_Pazoski says:
OPS: My sentiments exactly, so how are the scanners looking?

Host FM_Selan says:
<Lt. Tima> CO: Answering all stop. ::The Elara comes to a halt::

CTO_Timrok says:
CO: nothing as yet, though i dont trust these readings

CNS_Pazoski says:
CMO: I'm surprised they have not been more supportive.

Host CO_David says:
CSO: Full scan.

OPS_Seppela says:
TO: Not much different than they were before...

CSO_Gomes says:
CO: We are already using the most we can from sensors .. but I'll try ...

CMO_Zaris says:
::stops at the astrometrics lab door and looks at the CNS::  ~~~CNS: it's hard not to notice how they really feel~~~ ::faint "you know what i mean" smile and goes in the door::

CSO_Gomes says:
CO: There are some gravimetric readings .. its as if something is pushing matter outward from the nebula, that’s what is causing the gap

CNS_Pazoski says:
::smiles back to the CMO:: ~~~CMO: To true I guess~~~ ::walks into the room::

CSO_Gomes says:
CO: It must be an extremely powerful source

Host CO_David says:
CSO:  Gravimetric readings?  A wormhole?

OPS_Seppela says:
::frowns as he filters out everything he can:: TO: Nothing.

SO_Ruskinara2 says:
::whispers:: CIV: Not if I get you first..

CEO_Farewell says:
::sighs as he sits back::  Self: This is hopeless...  ::glancing at the CIV::

CSO_Gomes says:
CO: No, wormholes aren't known to have these effects

Host XO_Wall says:
::walks up further a stands in front of  the viewscreen toward the side::

CMO_Zaris says:
::walks to the main console.. a few techs around looking over sensor data from the pod.. goes tot he master holodisplay and opens the main file::

TO_Pazoski says:
OPS: Well looks like we will have to do it the old fashioned way, how about the shields, no hope their either?

CIV_Maor says:
SO: Oh, I'm sure you have something in mind Mir.. ::Turns to look at the CEO::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Lt. Tima> CO: Should I set course for the gap, sir?

CIV_Maor says:
CEO: Is there a problem..?

CNS_Pazoski says:
::watches the CMO::

Host CO_David says:
CSO: Any natural phenomenon that could be producing this?

Host CO_David says:
Tima: Negative, hold for now.

CMO_Zaris says:
::type sin DISPLAY MAIN SENSORS.. location of file.. main holo platform..::

CSO_Gomes says:
SO: Run these readings across our database .. see if you find any matches

OPS_Seppela says:
TO: John's working on that...he said there was little to no hope there either.

Host XO_Wall says:
OPS: status on the modifications, is it possible?

CEO_Farewell says:
CIV: More like no solution, actually...

OPS_Seppela says:
XO: No luck with the targeting scanners sir. Mr. Farewell is working on the shields as we speak.

CIV_Maor says:
CEO: All we need is to compare the readings, what solution do you want?

SO_Ruskinara2 says:
::runs the readings through the database::

CSO_Gomes says:
CO: I am not certain ...  there are a few phenomena that can cause this but few on such a large scale .. we are searching the database now

CMO_Zaris says:
::walks up on the platform and stands in the hologram of the nebula:: ~~~CNS: so how are things with Peter?~~~

OPS_Seppela says:
TO: First sign of our luck not being what we'd like eh?

Host XO_Wall says:
CEO: status on shield, I hope we can get them, I don't like being with out them especially when dealing with natural phenomenon like this

TO_Pazoski says:
OPS: Well lets hope no-one is out for a fight today then ::smiles an apprehensive smile:: ah lady luck is rarely with us, but she owes us one sooner or later

CEO_Farewell says:
CIV: True, but I was talking about the targeting sensors and shield adjustments...

CNS_Pazoski says:
::blinks, that was not the question she expected:: ~~CMO: Good, thank you.~~~

CIV_Maor says:
CEO: Do you require help with that?

OPS_Seppela says:
::grins nervously:: TO: She's a mean one, that lady luck.

CNS_Pazoski says:
::follows the CMO::

CMO_Zaris says:
::moves the main control panel over so she can reach it and starts the elemental analysis display to over lap the nebula.. watches a grid pop up and out line each chemical::

Host CO_David says:
::reclines back in his seat:: OPS: Monitor internal sensors for any effects we may be experiencing.

CMO_Zaris says:
~~CNS: I think some of the crew is expecting me to marry Maor~~~

CEO_Farewell says:
::turns to the XO::  XO: I couldn't agree more, Sir.. but so far we haven't found a solid solution, yet... I hope to have one shortly though... but no guarantees unfortunately..

OPS_Seppela says:
CO: No changes sir.

TO_Pazoski says:
OPS: Always to me, always to me ::walks back over to the CTO::

CNS_Pazoski says:
~~~CMO: And what do you want for yourself?~~~

CTO_Timrok says:
::Turns slightly:: TO: report

CIV_Maor says:
::Raises, he takes one last look at the SO before moving to stand in front of the CEO, he studies his terminal::

CEO_Farewell says:
::nods at the CIV::  CIV: I would appreciate that...

CMO_Zaris says:
~~~CNS: not that.. I tolerate him.. but I don't love him.. ~~~  ::runs her hands over the console and spins the nebula hologram::

OPS_Seppela says:
::begins to feel a little more comfortable. Maybe it is nothing more than a giant nebula? Nothing bad seems to be happening::

Host CO_David says:
CSO: Anything else?

Host XO_Wall says:
CO: I think we should exit out of the Nebula a return to a orbit, at least til we could get shields, we have plenty of data we can work with?

SO_Ruskinara says:
CSO: There is no record of this happening on such a large scale.  Planets in the badlands and other nebulae have been known to have the same effect.

CSO_Gomes says:
::frowns::

TO_Pazoski says:
CTO: Um not good sir, targeting scanners are useless and shields are a lost cause, still anyone else in here will be experiencing the same problems, we should be okay, that is if things were to turn nasty

SO_Ruskinara says:
CSO: But nothing on this scale has ever been recorded.

CMO_Zaris says:
~~~CNS: did you love Peter? is that why you got married?~~~ ::looks at the CNS::

Host CO_David says:
XO: Negative, Starfleet wants us to figure out what these anomalies are.  And I doubt that we can form a shield in this kind of nebula.

CIV_Maor says:
::Glances back at his console for a second:: CEO: Open up the terminal hatch, let's have a look inside.

CTO_Timrok says:
TO: that’s a dangerous assumption to make Mr. Pazoski, you should know better than that

CSO_Gomes says:
CO: As I thought .. only a few phenomena such as other nebulas and planets in the badland are known to cause this ... but never with this strength

CNS_Pazoski says:
~~~CMO: yes I did and still do, which is why I guess it would be wise for you not to do what a small handful of people expect you to do.~~~

Host CO_David says:
::nods to himself:: Tima: Very well, take us forward, one quarter impulse.

CSO_Gomes says:
SO: I keep wondering what would happen if we got nearer

TO_Pazoski says:
CTO: Just trying to level the playing field sir, the thought that there could be a ship out there running perfectly will not boost moral

Host FM_Selan says:
<Lt. Tima> CO: Into the gap, sir?

Host CO_David says:
Tima: Affirmative.

CMO_Zaris says:
~~~CNS: true~~~

CMO_Zaris says:
CNS: it's a nebula.. why do you suppose we are at such high alert?

Host XO_Wall says:
CO: understood I am just concerned the ship is at a great risk, I would feel better if we could get something to protect to ship while we are here.

SO_Ruskinara says:
CSO: It could be dangerous.

CSO_Gomes says:
::monitors the readings closely::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Lt. Tima> CO: Aye, sir. ::Comes about and maneuvers the ship toward the gap::

CTO_Timrok says:
TO: with our shields offline were easy prey for boarding parties & abduction,  deploy transport inhibitors in all key positions, your a Tactical officer Pazoski not a moral officer

CSO_Gomes says:
CO: It is a great risk to go in .. but I fear that we must if we want to know what it is.

CNS_Pazoski says:
::shrugs:: CMO: Very good question. I have no idea.

CEO_Farewell says:
::nods again at the CIV::  CIV: Well, as far as I can see it, the clue is too create a shield matrix that would be stable once we went into the Nebula..

CSO_Gomes says:
CO: I'll report as soon as we detect anything potentially dangerous to the ship

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Nebula Class Elara comes about and moves toward the gap before them. Time passes, and suddenly, they "explode" out of the nebula into a massive pocket of open space enclosed within the white / blue matter. But what awaits them is much more amazing ...

CMO_Zaris says:
Computer: display last position of the U.S.S. Cassiopeia 

TO_Pazoski says:
::is somewhat taken aback by the CTO's reply:: CTO: Sir, I will get on it right away...

CTO_Timrok says:
::attempts to restart shields::

CIV_Maor says:
CEO: Seeing we can't get enough power for this, we might as well try to create a network hub from the main computer to this terminal. Do you have a better way of doing it

OPS_Seppela says:
::brings everything back online as they reenter open space::

CTO_Timrok says:
::scans the bubble for targets::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: ... a giant sphere of glowing white energy, about the size of a Dyson Sphere, hovers there. The ship slightly rumbles as the pulsating sphere gives off gravimetric waves.

CSO_Gomes says:
::holds on to her console instinctively::

OPS_Seppela says:
::looks at the viewscreen:: Self: Holy....

Host FM_Selan says:
<Computer> CMO: Outside the Madtion / Leopold nebulae intersection. ::Location is pointed out::

Host XO_Wall says:
::hold on to a console tightly a they shake and rumble::

TO_Pazoski says:
::looks at the view screen:: Self: Good god...

CMO_Zaris says:
::watches on the hologrid as the main sensors and view screen create a new image::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The massive sphere illuminates the bridge.

Host CO_David says:
::eyes go wide as he rises from his chair:: XO: I'd say our maneuver was worth it.

CNS_Pazoski says:
::watches the Computers results for the CMO::

CSO_Gomes says:
::gulps looking at the readings::

CIV_Maor says:
::Looks around, he raises:: All: What...?

Host FM_Selan says:
<Lt. Tima> ::Looks in awe::

CEO_Farewell says:
::holds onto his console, looking at the viewscreen, amazed by the scenery::

CMO_Zaris says:
CNS: what in the holy rings is that?1

CTO_Timrok says:
::ignores the viewscreen & watches the sensors & shields status::

CMO_Zaris says:
::points tot he massive sphere the hologrid is displaying::

CNS_Pazoski says:
~~~CMO: I have no Idea~~~

CSO_Gomes says:
All: This is ... I've never seen anything even close to this before .. its amazing

Host XO_Wall says:
::looks at the screen:: CO: I'd say, what is that?

Host CO_David says:
CSO: Report.

CIV_Maor says:
::Moves closer to the SO.. rather.. ::

CSO_Gomes says:
CO: Its a massive subspace anomaly 

OPS_Seppela says:
::checks the sensor's for any hostile ships in the vicinity::

CMO_Zaris says:
::moves over to the control panel and brings the main bridge view screen up on the big wall display so they can both look at what the bridge is seeing::

TO_Pazoski says:
::turns to a console and sends word to his security teams to set up transport inhibitors in the key area's of the ship...and quick::

CNS_Pazoski says:
*CSO*: Alex, What is that sphere?

SO_Ruskinara says:
::gives Maor a curious look::

CSO_Gomes says:
CO: Its like nothing on records, it seams it  was what propelled us here and caused that gap

CSO_Gomes says:
CO: I have no idea what is causing it .. or even if its natural

CMO_Zaris says:
::turns to look at the hologrid.. taps on the panel and tries to bring up data on it;s make up::

CTO_Timrok says:
::runs some standard tactical scans of the sphere::

CEO_Farewell says:
::quickly gets up again, moving towards ENG 1 on the bridge::

CSO_Gomes says:
*CNS*that is a very good question .. its some sort of massive subspace anomaly

CIV_Maor says:
::Watches his console:: SO: I wonder what that is..

CNS_Pazoski says:
::looks back to the CMO:: ~~~CMO: That is odd?~~~

Host CO_David says:
CTO: Do we have shields?

CSO_Gomes says:
*CNS*Do you by any chance detect any sentient thought from it?

CMO_Zaris says:
CNS: yeah.. can't get a clear reading..

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: Suddenly, every screen on the ship goes black [replacing the spheroid] and is replaced by the images of the Greek Symbol Omega.

SO_Ruskinara says:
::sets the scanners on the on sphere::

CTO_Timrok says:
::nods to the CO:: CO: online & active

CNS_Pazoski says:
*CSO*: Yes something is there ::looks at the CMO for confirmation::

TO_Pazoski says:
:;stops pressing buttons and looks confused:: All: What the...?

Host CO_David says:
::looks at the symbol and his jaw drops:: All: Clear the bridge.

CMO_Zaris says:
:watches as she is locked out of the hologrid panel and a giant omega appears in the hologrid.. and starts spinning.. with the words alert under it::

CTO_Timrok says:
::looks up at the viewscreen then raises his eyebrow::

CSO_Gomes says:
All: Are all screens like this?

OPS_Seppela says:
::suddenly locked out of his console as a horseshoe replaces it:: Self: What the -?

CEO_Farewell says:
::as he's about to access the engineering status report his console goes offline and a Greek Symbol appears::  Self: What the..?  CO/XO: I've been locked out of the computer, Sirs.. ::surprised::

Host XO_Wall says:
Self: What happened ::looks at the symbol on the viewscreen::

CSO_Gomes says:
All: it seams to be the last letter of the earth Greek alphabet .. Omega

SO_Ruskinara says:
CSO: Before the lockout this was a massive subspace anomaly.

CMO_Zaris says:
CNS: I think we found our answer

Host CO_David says:
All: Clear the bridge immediately, that’s an order!

CNS_Pazoski says:
Self: What the? ~~~CMO: I don't get this ~~~

CSO_Gomes says:
SO: Yes I know , I just wish I knew where it came from

OPS_Seppela says:
::looks over at the Captain:: CO: Umm.. aye sir.. :;gets up and heads for the turbolift::

SO_Ruskinara says:
CSO: Or where we went.

CSO_Gomes says:
*CNS*Did you reach any conclusions about intelligence behind this?

TO_Pazoski says:
::looks puzzled at the CO and around the bridge, heads for the TL:: Self: What’s going on?

CMO_Zaris says:
::looks around the room.. all the techs standing from their station in confusion:: CNS: I don't either.. but it's the answer tot he first question.. why are we here..

OPS_Seppela says:
::gets in the TL and waits for the rest of the bridge crew::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Lt. Tima> ::Leaves her station, and heads for  the TL::

Host CO_David says:
::waits for the bridge to clear::

CSO_Gomes says:
SO: We are here .. just don't know where here is

Host XO_Wall says:
::exits to the other exit of the bridge::

CTO_Timrok says:
::exits the bridge & waits outside::

CIV_Maor says:
::Turns to look at the Captain, he walks after the group::

CMO_Zaris says:
::tries to bring the previous picture back to the hologrid or the wall display or anything::

CSO_Gomes says:
::exits the bridge with the others::

CEO_Farewell says:
::sighs at the CO's order and exits the bridge:: Self: I have never experienced this before...

CNS_Pazoski says:
~~~CMO: I guess that is true, did you sense something from that sphere?~~~

CSO_Gomes says:
CTO: Do you know why the captain is ordering us to do this?

SO_Ruskinara1 says:
::gives Maor a nervous look::

CMO_Zaris says:
~~~CNS: no.. it's not alive.. but it's caused a computer lock out.. i can't clear the system~~~

CSO_Gomes says:
::thinks this is a good time to keep her mouth shut .. but just can't::

TO_Pazoski says:
::looks puzzled:: All: Did that seem strange to anyone else?

CTO_Timrok says:
CSO: we dont need to know, we have our orders

SO_Ruskinara1 says:
::frowns as she sense pain, fear and uncertainty from the sphere::

CSO_Gomes says:
::sighs:: CTO: I feared as much

OPS_Seppela says:
TO: Better question is did it not seem strange to anyone...

CSO_Gomes says:
::a bit too loud:: Self: I hate ignorance

Host XO_Wall says:
::enters the TL::

CTO_Timrok says:
::thinks that was the wrong thing to say::

CEO_Farewell says:
TO: I'm afraid so... this is real weird...

Host CO_David says:
Computer: Report.

CIV_Maor says:
::Smiles at the SO, he moves closer:: SO: I wonder what's going on..

CMO_Zaris says:
::slams her fist on the panel:: CNS: we seem to be dead in space

Host FM_Selan (Computer - Implement the Omega Directive immediately All other priorities have been rescinded.wav)

Host FM_Selan says:
<Computer> CO: The Omega Molecule has been detected within the Madtion Nebula ... approximately ninety-five AU from your current location.
