Host XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::walk over toward the Captain and whispers:: CO: you have been rather hard person to reach these past few weeks, I was hoping to talk to you, what is going on?
CMO_Ens_Larix says:
::Reaches the bridge and exits the turbo life. He then heads to the observation lounge and enters.::
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::stands well back from the XO and CO, wondering if she should just take a seat::
Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
::waits patiently in the lounge:: XO: Bernie, I'm afraid there's nothing you can do.  You'll have to trust me on this, I think it's time.
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
::exits the lift and enters the conference lounge::
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::smiles to the CEO with a nod as he enters the room::
Host XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
CO: aye ::just looks at him and turns away to take a seat at the conference table::
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
::smiles at the CNS and takes a seat at the table::
Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
::glances around at the assembled crew:: All: Take a seat.
CMO_Ens_Larix says:
::Looks around the table for his seat and sits in it.::
CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::sits::
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::takes a seat at the table once everyone else begins to find a seat::
CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Frowns as he enters the lounge, he glances around at the already assembled crew:: CO: My apology Captain, I had problems locating the lounge. 
CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Nods, he takes a seat and waits for the Captain to speak::
Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
::takes a deep breath:: All: Well, there's not an easy way to put this.  I'm leaving.
Host XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::sits looking at the Captain, something is definitely up::
Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
CIV: No problem Commander.  Please take a seat.
CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::looks up at the CO:: CO: what?

Host XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
CO: leaving? how?
CMO_Ens_Larix says:
::Perks a brow - attempting to use his empathic abilities to read the reaction from the crew so as he, as new to the ship, could engage a reaction.::
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
Self: I have this effect on captains, or so it would seem ::sighs::
Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
All: It's time to explore the universe on my own.  Besides, its better than retirement.
Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
::grins:: CTO: Commander Timrok, please stand.
CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::stands up confused & surprised:: CO: sir?
Host XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::is confused about what is taking place::
CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::looks around at the others::
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
::not sure what to think::
Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
CTO: Commander Timrok, by order of Starfleet Command, you are hereby promoted to the position of Executive Officer onboard the U.S.S. Elara.  Congratulations.  ::reaches out and shakes the slightly bewildered XO's hand::
CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::shakes the CO’s hand still shocked::
Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
XO: Commander Wall, please rise.
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::blinks and wonders if an applause would be suitable, but refrains and smiles to the new XO::
CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::sits down dumfounded::
Host XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::looks at the Harison as he rises::
CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Remains silent as the events in front of him unfold::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<FCO_Flyman>::unsure of what is going on in the mission room, the Vulcan makes minor adjustments to the ship's course as a high plasma area is approaching::
Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
XO: Commander Wall, by order of Starfleet Command, you are hereby promoted to the rank of Captain, and given the position of highest respect and honor in Starfleet, Captain of a Federation Starship.  Congratulations Captain Wall.  ::shakes the Captain's hand::
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::smiles again this time towards the new CO as she wonders if this captain will actually stay, or if she will manage to dispense of him too:: 
CMO_Ens_Larix says:
:: Looks to the CNS wondering why she seems slightly worried at the captain leaving and a new one being put in his place just as she's joined.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::shakes Captain Harison hand:: CO: thank you sir
Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
Computer: Transfer all Command Codes from Captain David Harison to Captain Bernie Wall, authorization Harison 24 Epsilon.
Host XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::wow he is shocked, wasn't expecting this as he looks around at the senior crew::
Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
<Computer>*Harison* Acknowledged.  U.S.S. Elara now under command of Captain Bernie Wall.
Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
All: Well, it's been a long ride.  Countless years and innumerable missions.  I want those of you who have been here to know, that you have served me with the best any commander can hope for.  You have a new Captain, one who is quite possibly the best officer I have ever served with.  He knows what to do, and he will get you home safe.
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::nods in agreement::
Host CO_Cpt_Wall says:
Harison: Captain? its sound like your leaving us now?
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::bows her head slightly with the Ex CO's words::
Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
Wall: I am.  Will be taking a small shuttlecraft and exploring this area.  Command was aware of this, and I requested they not inform you.  I will be around and in communications range for quite a while.  Hopefully I'll find some nice ruins to excavate.
Host CO_Cpt_Wall says:
Harison: all by yourself alone in a shuttlecraft, suppose something happens?
Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
Wall: Well, it wouldn't be fun if there was no danger behind it.  ::grins::  Good Luck Captain, there's a race out there waiting to contact you.
Host CO_Cpt_Wall says:
Harison: no you take one of the well equipped shuttlecraft, one with warp ability, its at least I could do, for all you have done
Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
Wall: Thank you Captain.  Good Luck.
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::stands up & shakes Harrison by the hand:: Sir, you will be missed.. I don’t suppose i could talk you out of it?
Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
XO: I'm afraid not Commander.  Besides, if I came back, I'd have to take your job.
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
Harrison: id’e give it to you gladly
CMO_Ens_Larix says:
:: Blinks. ::
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: Half an hour passes, a small shuttle exits the Elara carrying David Harison for other adventures. The Elara remains en route to the Frelia system
Host CO_Cpt_Wall says:
::enters the bridge after coming from the shuttle bay seeing Capt Harison off::
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::stands on the bridge - not quite at TAC but close enough to get to it in a hurry should he feel the need::
CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Sits in front of OPS, he studies the console in front of him as he monitors the readings from the ship outer hull::
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
::at the engineering station on the bridge still surprised by the sudden change in command::
CMO_Ens_Larix says:
:: Is sitting in his chair on the bridge as it's quiet and he isn't needed in sickbay. ::
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::instinctively turns as the CO enters the bridge::
Host CO_Cpt_Wall says:
::he walks to the "CO" seat hesitates before seating down::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<FCO_Flyman>CO: We will have to drop out of warp in one minute as the area is heavy with gravimetric distortions
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::watches the new CO and puts her head down with a smile remembering Starks on his first day as the Captain::.
Host CO_Cpt_Wall says:
FCO: very good drop us out of warp and prepare to enter the area
Host SM_Lilia says:
<FCO_Flyman>::nods::
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::paces the back of the bridge slowly::
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: The Elara drops out of warp and the viewscreen is filled with the rainbow colors of a plasma cloud
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::lifts her head and looks at the screen:: Self: pretty
CMO_Ens_Larix says:
Self: Where's the gold ?
Host CO_Cpt_Wall says:
::looks at the viewscreen::
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: As the Elara continues to cross what appears to be an enormous cloud, the bridge lights flicker once
Host CO_Cpt_Wall says:
CEO: is the Elara ready and able to handle this area?
CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Glances up from his console, he turns to face the pacing XO behind him:: XO: Commander, sensors read strong energy signatures in the plasma cloud ahead of us. No indication for possible danger for us as of now.
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
::checks his console::  CO:  Several of the ships systems appear to be suffering a power drain.
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::noticing the flicker:: CIV: acknowledged
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: The bridge light flicker again ... then completely go out
CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Nods, he turns his attentions back to his console::
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: The normal ship's lighting is replaced by the red light of emergency power
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::blinks and mutters something about hating the dark::
Host CO_Cpt_Wall says:
CEO: report!
CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
CO: Captain, shields are down. Sensors also detect severe gravimetric distortions ahead.
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
CO: It may be prudent to avoid the more dense plasma formations, they can be highly volatile
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
::curses under his breath::  CO: It seems there is a power drain directly at the warp core.  I can find no reason for it.  We still have auxiliary power.
Host CO_Cpt_Wall says:
FCO: all stop
Host SM_Lilia says:
<FCO_Flyman>CO: I have no control over the vessel
CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
CO: I advice to change our flight course and pick a safer route, Captain.
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
CO:  At our current energy output we have 19 hours of life support left.
Host SM_Lilia says:
<FCO_Flyman>CO: The impulse engines aren't responding
Host CO_Cpt_Wall says:
CEO: I need something here, get impulse and helm back
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
CIV: do we have shields?
CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
XO: That's a negative, Commander.
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
Self: This sounds good ::Sighs:: CO: Permission to play at a science console, please?
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::is actively restraining himself from TAC::
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
CO:  Aye sir.  ::enters the TL::  TL:  Main Engineering::
Host CO_Cpt_Wall says:
CNS: go ahead
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::nods acknowledging the CO, gets up and makes her way to the console::
Host CO_Cpt_Wall says:
FCO: what about thrusters?
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
CO:  The sensors can't find out why there is an energy failure.  All I know is the EPS conduits are blocked, I'm going to Engineering to see what I can do.
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::takes a look and a long deep breath before accessing the console:: Self: Okay now be good computer.
Host CO_Cpt_Wall says:
CEO: acknowledged, make it quick
Host SM_Lilia says:
<FCO_Flyman>::shakes head:: CO: Nothing sir, not enough power, unless I transfer from more indispensable systems. We are going on forward momentum only
Host CO_Cpt_Wall says:
FCO: agreed take power from what you need, if you regain some control try to back us out
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
CO: Command. Captain if we cant move away from the cloud - perhaps we could move the cloud away from us
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
::as soon as the lift stops runs into main engineering and begins checking over the consoles::
CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
CO: We could convert power from the warp engines, Sir.
CMO_Ens-Larix says:
CO: Sir, I suggest we move crew onto every odd deck to save energy on life support - if this is going to persist.
Host CO_Cpt_Wall says:
XO: go ahead, what you have in mind?
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
CO: by polarizing the hull we may be able to repel the plasma mass
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::scans the surrounding space for any unusual anomalies which may account for the energy blockage::
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: Just as the CEO is looking over consoles in main engineering, through the corner of his eye he sees a horrendous face projected on a wall
CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
XO, CO: I doubt we'll have enough energy to try that twice. So we better hope it will work on the first time.
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
::sees the face on the wall::  Self:  What the?
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: The faces becomes smaller and smaller  as if the source emitting it is approaching ....
Host CO_Cpt_Wall says:
CIV: power is low now, how are we going to convert power from the Warp drive, I would rather save it
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
::not sure what to make of the face::
CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
CO: Yes, but our first priority is to distance ourselves from the plasma cloud Captain. We could worry about the warp engines later.
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: Out from behind a console comes Sarah dressed as a which holding a lighted pumpkin "Happy Halloween" she says smiling
Host CO_Cpt_Wall says:
CIV: also our survival is key too, suppose it does not work?
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Sarah>CEO: That is why the lights are out right?
CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
CO: Of course that would require power to be present there now ::Sighs as he notices the readings from his console:: Of course they're empty now. ::Mutters to himself:: Self: Figures.
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
::jumps back from the wall as Sarah appears::  Sarah:  Um.
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
CO: Sir we seem to have company.
Host CO_Cpt_Wall says:
CIV: divert any power from non-essential areas to the thrusters and helm control, shut down what you need too
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
Sarah:  Not quite.  Having problems with power.
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::scans the Klingon ship to see if it is suffering from the same energy failure::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Sarah>CEO: Oh I see, then I better put this away
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
Sarah:  Might be a good idea
Host CO_Cpt_Wall says:
CNS: I have a first duty for you onboard, we have to initiate emergency protocol and set up designated areas and to shut down most of the ship. I will need somebody to coordinate to move personal to these areas
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
::moves to the nearest conduit and scans it frowning at what he sees::
CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
CNS: Visitor? ::Glances down at his position, his face features harden:: CO: A Klingon ship is nearby.
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
CO: Okay I am on to it, but first I should let you know that there is a Klingon Bird of Prey about 1000km away she appears to have a similar power failure to us.
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
*CO*:  Captain I am detecting some sort of life form near the EPS conduits but can't pinpoint exactly where it is.
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
CNS: lifesigns?
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::checks for lifesigns on the Bird of Prey::
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
XO: Erm just checking sir.
CMO_Ens-Larix says:
::Perks a brow.:: CNS: Are they stable ? Their life support may have failed ...
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
CO: Shall I collect the crew in the upper decks then all you need is engineering with life support in the lower decks?
Host CO_Cpt_Wall says:
*CEO*: do you believe that this lifeform is causing this power failure?
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
XO: Errr ::pauses:: Its gone, there were no life signs and now no ship.
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: For only a brief instant, a Romulan appears on the bridge. Then just as he came he disappears
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
*CO*:  Not sure at this time but that would be my best guess.
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::aside:: CIV: better get a security detail down to engineering
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
CMO: I would love to be able to say, but sorry I am more confused now.
Host CO_Cpt_Wall says:
*CEO*: well do what you can to block the effects of the lifeform but do not harm it
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
*CO*:  Will do
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
CNS: is it gone or we simply can’t detect it
CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Glances in shock at the center of the bridge, he rubs his eyes in dismay:: All:: Did you ju--.. ::Glances away slowly from the center of the bridge and assembles a security detail to ME::
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
XO: I would be keen to say gone, it just vanished
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::suddenly has a thought:: CO: maybe this is the lifeform we came to make contact with?!
CMO_Ens-Larix says:
CNS: It's alright. ::Takes out a medical tricorder from his lab coat pocket and begins to scan the bridge.:: All: I'm getting nothing and I sense nothing either. Counselor, do you ?
CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: XO: Shapeshifters of some sort?
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::shakes her head:: CMO: No I can't sense anything unusual.
Host CO_Cpt_Wall says:
XO: perhaps but we are not near or at Frelia V yet
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: Throughout the ship similar "ghostly" appearances occur. Images, not quite real, not quite holographic appear. Some are of Starfleet officers in ancient uniforms, other are much weirder
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
::checks over his scans again::  *CO*:  The lifeform is completely blocking the conduit.
CMO_Ens-Larix says:
::Nods as the 'ghostly' images appear and vanish.:: CNS: I'm getting nothing ... ALL: Is everyone seeing them ?
Host CO_Cpt_Wall says:
*CEO*: well bypass or reroute it elsewhere if you can
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
::directs internal sensors to the conduits trying to find a way to disable the lifeform::
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::blinks and runs an internal scan of the ship::
Host CO_Cpt_Wall says:
XO: well I guess it worth a try
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
*CO*:  I am unable to reroute all conduits are blocked.
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: Suddenly out of no where a green mass falls onto the CEO making him unconscious
CEO_Ens_Heller says:
::doesn't even have time to call out before he is knocked out::
Host CO_Cpt_Wall says:
*Lifeform*: this Captain Wall of the Federation Starship Elara, we are from the Federation to make contact with you if you are our contact please respond?
Host SM_Lilia says:
<EO>*Bridge*We have a situation down here. the CEO has just been left unconscious
Host CO_Cpt_Wall says:
*EO*: how what happened
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: No response to the CO
Host SM_Lilia says:
<EO>*CO*I'm not sure, there is something on top of him
CMO_Ens-Larix says:
*Sickbay*: Medical team to engineering - now!
Host CO_Cpt_Wall says:
XO: we need to execute security protocols thought the ship
CMO_Ens-Larix says:
::Stands and heads for the TL.:: All: Excuse me ...
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
CO: Should I change that and get non essentials personnel ready to evacuate or do you still want them gathered?
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
CIV: where’s the security team? get men on all access points - full intruder alert!
CMO_Ens-Larix says:
TL: Main engineering.
Host CO_Cpt_Wall says:
XO: have security details post at vital area
CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
XO: One security team is already in ME, Commander. I'll spread the other teams throughout the ship. But what should I tell them to look for? Ghosts?
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
Self: Darn I wish I knew this ship better ::accesses a ship layout plan on the console::
CMO_Ens-Larix says:
::Exits the TL at engineering and heads towards the crowds around the CEO.::
Host CO_Cpt_Wall says:
CNS: continue with my original order for now
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: The CEO is unconscious on the floor, his face covered with a green masse. he is alive and so is the stuff on top of him
CMO_Ens-Larix says:
::Begins a scan of the green substance using his medical tricorder - it exhibits life signs and is allow the CEO to breathe from underneath it.::
