=/\==/\==/\==/\= U.S.S. Elara Stardate 10312.07 - "Ghostbusters - Part III"=/\==/\==/\==/\=
Host SM_Lilia says:
The USS Elara silently faces a seemingly unreachable region of space which seems to defy logic. They have lost one probes, one shuttle, one science officer and one first officer trying to explore it. Are they ready to loose anything else? Is it worth it?
Host SM_Lilia says:

Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: The shuttle is still not on sensors
Host SM_Lilia says:
@ACTION: As the witness disappears, commander Timrok finds himself alone in the shuttle. Through the screen in front of him he can see a myriad of colours. Gases in complex movement patterns make impossible combinations of matter.
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: In sickbay, Lieutenant Commander Janan is more lost than ever with the CMO and the FCO living in a world of their own.
Host SM_Lilia says:
<FCO Lost>::stares at the CMO thinking he is crazy while he shrugs to his friend::
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
::on the bridge running scan after scan into the radiation field in an attempt to locate the shuttle::
MO_Nightingale says:
:: works in sickbay ::
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
@::turns around to where the SO used to be:: SO: ensign? ::looks around the interior of the shuttle in a moment of rare panic which thankfully no one was around to see::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::stands near Lost and the CMO in deep thought::
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
::is stood at the diagnostic screen, wondering what could be wrong with Lost::
CEO_LtJGr_Heller says:
::in his office in main engineering and looks up as his father enters the room::  Father:  Dad it's been too long how have you been?
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
@:: picks up a tricorder and scans the shuttles interior for any trace of the SO::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<EO Yellow>::knocks on the CEO's office::
MO_Nightingale says:
:: scans the CMO to see if he has brain trauma::
CEO_LtJGr_Heller says:
::hears a knock on his door::  EO:  Come in I want you to meet someone.
Host SM_Lilia says:
<EO Yellow>::raises an eyebrow and lowers the PADD he has in his hand::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<EO Yellow>CEO: Who?
CEO_LtJGr_Heller says:
EO:  This is my father.  ::indicates the man standing next to his chair.
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
@ Self: damn ::opens a comms channel:; COM: Elara: USS Elara, this is shuttle Tagus, do you read
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::watches the nurse hoping that they will find something::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
CMO: Was there any sign that radiation could have caused Lost to talk to someone who is not there?
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
Ridge: I can't still see anything unusual.  A few more red blood cells here and there.  Anything?
Host SM_Lilia says:
<EO Yellow>CEO: Sir, are you all right? Your father is dead and there is no one in the room
MO_Nightingale says:
:: observes the CMO::
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
CNS: No' that ah can see, sir.
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
::cannot locate the shuttle anywhere on his scans:: CO: Sir, I've ran every scan I can and the shuttle isn’t out there anymore
CEO_LtJGr_Heller says:
EO:  How can he be dead if he is standing right next to me and talkin to me.  Are you blind?
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods slowly at the CMO's response::
MO_Nightingale says:
:: Looks over the CMO's shoulder::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<EO Yellow>::blinks:: CEO: I really think you should see the doctor
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: The XO has no response from the com
CEO_LtJGr_Heller says:
EO:  What on earth for, there is nothing wrong with me.  Ain’t that right dad?
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
@:: looks down at the sensors console as it begins to return readings, and starts trying to make sense of them:
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CTO: lets give Commander Timrok a chance perhaps they are getting what we need and will return as I instructed him to do before he left
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
CNS: Would ye like us tae run any mehr tests?
Host SM_Lilia says:
<EO Yellow>CEO: Yes sir ... maybe I am the one who is getting crazy. Here is the report on the warp core changes I had to make ::hands him a PADD:: CEO: Then I need to get back to work
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
CMO: Anything you haven't done that you can think of would be great.
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
CO: Understood sir, I will keep scanning the area then
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::turns to the MO:: MO: Have you found anything out of the ordinary with the CMO?
CEO_LtJGr_Heller says:
::takes the PADD::  EO:  Keep up the good work.
MO_Nightingale says:
:: scans the CMO for other problems::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<EO Yellow>::nods and leaves the room::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<EO Yellow>::As soon as he is outside he taps his badge:: *CNS*Yellow to Janan
MO_Nightingale says:
CMO: You look tired. Perhaps you should get some rest.
CEO_LtJGr_Heller says:
::checks over the schematics on the PADD satisfied with what it shows.  THen turns to his dad::  Dad:  Boy was he acting funny.
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
@:: recognizing what appears to be a nebula around the shuttle begins scanning for any subspace beacons in order to confirm his location::
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
::frowns::  MO: Ah feel fine.  Ridge: Dae Ah look tired tae ye?
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
*EO Yellow*: Janan here, what can I do for you?
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
<Ridge> CMO: You do look a bit peaky, sir.
CEO_LtJGr_Heller says:
<Tyler Heller>CEO:  Yeah seemed like he couldn't even see me.  Oh well so how ya been.  Haven't seen ya since you left home.
MO_Nightingale says:
CMO: The scans say you are.
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CTO: we need to know what this phenomenon is most like, is this a Black Hole, a Subspace distortion, what does this closes model, and analyze it and from that see if we can modify or adjust the ships systems to compensate for this area of space
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
MO: Then mebbe ah should get some rest.  MO: Ye're in charge.  ::exits sickbay::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<EO Yellow>*CNS*Can you come have a conversation with Lt Heller? He just introduced me to his father, who according to his records is dead and I am certain there was no one else in the room
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
@::scratching his head at the lack of any recognizable reading:: self: where am i
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
CO: Yes sir ::begins going over the databases trying to narrow down exactly what it is they are dealing with and how they can best deal with the situation::
MO_Nightingale says:
:: takes over::
CEO_LtJGr_Heller says:
Tyler:  Has been too long, just had to leave in a hurry and haven't had much time to look back.  How's everyone at home?
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::shakes her head::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
*EO Yellow*: On my way.
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
CMO/MO: I would appreciate it if you could let me know as soon as you find anything.
CEO_LtJGr_Heller says:
<Tyler>CEO:  No word in a while from your brother, Lisa is doing good helpin you mom.  She's having more problems getting around these days.
MO_Nightingale says:
Nurse: I want all tests run on this patient that hasn't been preformed immediately.
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
::walking around the bridge at a slow pace with his hand behind his back, waiting for something, a sign, something from Commander Timrok, whatever to happen::
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
@:: starts picking up concentrated chronoton emissions from nearby and turns the shuttle to face it::
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
CO: Sir, it appears we have some sort of temporal wormhole here, however the particle readings are not quite consistent with the previously encountered ones.
MO_Nightingale says:
:: puts FCO Lost diagnostic bed in a test mode::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<EO Yellow>::shakes head and starts talking to his sister who just joined him and goes away::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CTO: excellent! that is what I have been looking for, now lets build on that, we must learn more
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
CO: As for adjusting ourselves to this area of space, we have already altered the shields and sensors, the chronoton particles being emitted will not do much to us, it will be the main distortion inside the field that will, and that we cannot detect at the moment, but I can give you a good guess about where it is
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::turns and leaves the room::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<FCO Lost>MO: What are you doing? I thought there was nothing wrong with me. I just want those food replacement pills
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::gets into the TL:: Computer: engineering.
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
@Self: lets suppose that is the same emission we found on the Elara ::does a double take as he sees a second emission directly behind the shuttle:: Damn, that complicates things
MO_Nightingale says:
FCO: Scanning you. Now be quiet and stay.
CEO_LtJGr_Heller says:
<Tyler>CEO:  Cassie has been asking about you.  You upset her a lot just runnin off like that.
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
*CO*: There is no sign of infection in either the CMO or ensign Lost sir, however there are more crew members reported to be suffering similar effects.
Host SM_Lilia says:
<FCO Lost>MO: Oh i hate doctors, why don't you go pester that clone on the bridge
MO_Nightingale says:
:: restrains the FCO::
MO_Nightingale says:
:: gives Lost a hypo to put him  to sleep after he restrains Lost::
CEO_LtJGr_Heller says:
::at the mention of Cassie hangs his head::  Tyler:  Well some things had to be done, hated doing it but had no choice in my mind.
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
@Begins reconfiguring the communications array to send a single focused beam at the chronoton emission in front - a series of pulses in Morse code spelling S.O.S::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<FCO Lost>MO: What are you doing?? This is it, I...I am quitting starfl...::falls asleep::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
*CNS*: understood, work on finding out if it is connected to where the ship is or if this is a separate matter
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: XO gets no response
MO_Nightingale says:
Nurse: Do we need someone to be researched on?
MO_Nightingale says:
Nurse: What are the results of the scans?
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
<Ridge> MO: Not that I'm aware of.
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
::wonders something having overheard the CO and CNS's conversation, checks the computer to see if any other vessel that has encountered these ghost ships has reported crew members "seeing things"::
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
@::disappointedly repeats the signal at the chronoton emission behind::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
*CO* Sir ::is about to protest but stops herself in time, sighs:: I shall be on the bridge as soon as I have seen our CEO.
MO_Nightingale says:
Nurse: Scan Results?
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
*CNS*: understood, but I need the CEO to be on our current situation and the missing shuttle
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
*CNS*: and the ship...
CEO_LtJGr_Heller says:
<Tyler>CEO:  Well regardless of what needed to happen you should contact her.  Let her know your still around at least.
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
CO: Sir I've been checking the logs of the other ships that have encountered these ghost ships and none of them report their crew acting strangely, this could well be a separate matter
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
<Ridge> MO: Nothing that's not already recorded in his medical record.  Some slight chemical imbalances, but we already know about these.
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CTO: very well if there is no danger to these crewmembers that it seems, our focus should be on what is happening out there, lets have Sickbay and the CNS work on it
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::gives a confused look:: *CO*: so if the CEO is talking to himself you would like me to leave him to continue his duty? 
Host SM_Lilia says:
<OPS Solie>CO: Sir, we are receiving new emissions from that area of space. the computer matches the pattern to an old Earth code called Morse. Its says SOS
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
::listens to the CNS over the comm and smiles before continuing his scans::
MO_Nightingale says:
Nurse: In my opinion FCO Lost is nuts. I recommend he be transferred to the federation funny farm to be studied. And I want him sedated at all times. Until then run all the tests you can think of on Lost.
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
<Ridge> ::not utterly convinced::  MO: Alright.
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
@::getting that sinking feeling spins around in his seat and puts his head in his hands::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
<OPS>: excellent! Change all our communications to that old Earth form and direct it in to the field
MO_Nightingale says:
Nurse: I want a full psychological assessment on him.
Host SM_Lilia says:
@ACTION: There is a blip in the XO's console
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
<Ridge> MO: You'll find that in his medical profile.  Doctor Cameron did that only a couple of weeks ago.
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
:: turns to the console - drawn to the blip like a moth to the flame::
MO_Nightingale says:
MO:I want a current one.
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
*CNS*: what is the CEO doing?
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
<Ridge> ::shrugs:: MO: Okay.
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
*CO*: I am just about to reach him now sir, but at a guess having a conversation with someone who does not appear to be there.
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
::remembering the SO said something about detecting a ghost ship earlier, decides to pull up those sensor logs as at this point in time its the waiting game::
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: From behind, the XO receives a message in Morse code, which says, "This is the Starfleet vessel USS Elara"
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::steps out of the TL and then goes to find EO Yellow and the CEO::
CEO_LtJGr_Heller says:
::trying to change the subject:: Tyler:  So how is the bussiness going.  Still as busy as ever?
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
*CNS*: very well see the CEO as you were going to
MO_Nightingale says:
Nurse: Give him a lobotomy.
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
<Ridge> MO: What??
MO_Nightingale says:
Nurse: That’s an order.
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
<Ridge> MO: I'm not a physician.  I don't know how.
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::sees EO yellow and watches for a moment::
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
@:: smiles as the Elara's message comes through, then tries to focus a standard communication on its point of origin :: COM: Elara do you read?
CEO_LtJGr_Heller says:
<Tyler>::smiles at his sons sudden change in subject:: CEO:  It's going well had some difficulty a few years back but since then ok
MO_Nightingale says:
:: begins preparations to perform a lobotomy on Lost::
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
<Ridge> ::steps backwards, somewhat afraid::  *CTO* Security alert in sickbay.  I need someone down here immediately.
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
@::picking p a combadge signal on sensors begins running a recognition scan on it::
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
<Ridge> MO: You can't do that without clearance from the Chief Medical Officer.
MO_Nightingale says:
Nurse: I am picking.
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
<Ridge> MO: Picking what?
MO_Nightingale says:
Nurse: Joking.
MO_Nightingale says:
Nurse: You are too serious.
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::heads to the CEO's office  and get to the door, rings the chime::
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
::taps on the console and comes to some sort of conclusion:: CO: Sir, I've been going over some earlier sensor records, the ones where the SO thought he detected a "ghost ship", it appears to be a Cardassian vessel, probably a civilian ship, and although I cant be sure, it may be the Cardassian ship that was reported lost in this area
MO_Nightingale says:
*CTO*: Cancel Alert.
CEO_LtJGr_Heller says:
::stops his conversation and turns to the door::  Come in.
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
<Ridge> *CTO*: Don't cancel that alert.  Nightingale's performing an unauthorized lobotomy on Ensign Lost!
MO_Nightingale says:
*CMO*:I need permission for a medical procedure to test for things.
MO_Nightingale says:
Nurse: You are relieved of duty.
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
*MO* Cameron here.  What is it ye're lookin' fae?
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
::walks into the office and opens the drawer::
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
*Ridge*: He is doing what? *Security*: Mesme to security, can we get a team to sickbay, there is something strange going on
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
<Ridge> *CTO* He says he's looking for something.
MO_Nightingale says:
*CMO*:I want to perform a lobotomy to test for viral infections.
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
<Ridge> ::walks back to behind Nightingale, phaser drawn::
MO_Nightingale says:
*CTO*:I am getting permission from the CMO.
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::enters the office:: CEO: EO Yellow requested that I come down here. ::looks around the office:: I must say it has been a while since I was last down here.
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
*MO* Ah cannae allow that, Nurse.  There's better ways o' daein that.
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
<Ridge> ::stuns Nightingale and watches him slump to the floor::
MO_Nightingale says:
::falls::
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
*Ridge*: Looking for what ::ponders for a moment:: security will be with you shortly
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: On the bridge alarms sound on the tactical console to indicate unauthorized weapon    fire onboard.
CEO_LtJGr_Heller says:
CNS:  I don't imagine you have much call to come down here often.  Now why would EO Yellow think I needed you?
Host SM_Lilia says:
<OPS Solie>CO: I am waiting for a response but it seems only these strong pulses can penetrate whatever its out there
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
CEO: He mentioned that you were having a conversation with your father.
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
@:: again failing to open a proper comms channel reverts to morse code:: COM_Elara: this is Cmdr Timrok on shuttle Tagus, SO is MIA, will begin search
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
<OPS>: continue morris code in to the field, ask Commander Timrok for his status, and what he has found out from inside
CEO_LtJGr_Heller says:
CNS:  Well is that a crime?  Oh my apologizes where are my manners.  This is my father Tyler, Dad this is CNS Janan.
Host SM_Lilia says:
<OPS Solie>CO: It is commander Timrok on the other side, or at least that is what the message claims. He says the SO is missing
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CTO: we will first establish communications again, then we can develop further on what to do about your missing Cardassian vessels
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::shakes her head:: CEO: No not a craime but we have had several crew members having been reported for talking to people who are not present in the room ::pauses:: do you have a tricorder down here?
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
@::pilots the shuttle toward the comm badge signal - running with sensors at maximum resolution::
Host SM_Lilia says:
@ACTION: The Tagus moves through the dense gases and plasma streams
CEO_LtJGr_Heller says:
CNS:  Well that is not the problem here.  I always have one handy down here.  ::picks up his tricorder from his desk and hands it too her.::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::takes the tricorder:: CEO: Thank you ::goes on to scan the room:: So how long has your father been talking to you for?
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
::disables the alarms that are sounding for the phaser shots going off in sickbay:: CO: Understood ::decides to stay quite until communications have been restored:: *Sickbay*: Mesme to sickbay, would someone please explain to me why I have reports of weapons fire in sickbay?
CEO_LtJGr_Heller says:
CNS:  The past half hour or so I guess.
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
<Ridge> *CTO* Ridge here.  Nurse Nightingale's gone crazy, he tried perform that lobotomy on Lost.  I stunned him.
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
@::Continues gently toward the signal::
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
*Ridge*: Understood, but could you please give your phaser to the security staff, we dont want any more incidents today
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
@::gently increases speed, careful not o disturb the nebula anymore than is necessary::
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
<Ridge> *CTO* Acknowledged.
Host SM_Lilia says:
@ACTION: The XO reaches the limits of the chronoton emissions and all goes white again
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods to Heller and she continues to scan the room:: CEO: As you will be aware this ship is in another one of those situations which will require your help to get us out of it, Would itbe possible to speak with your father later?
CEO_LtJGr_Heller says:
CNS:  Well of course my duty to this ship is very important to me.
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
*CNS*: Mesme to Janan.
Host SM_Lilia says:
@ACTION: When the whiteness disappears he is again alone in the shuttle. the shuttle's consoles seem dead however
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::smiles to the CEO:: CEO: I wouldn't have expected anything less of you.
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
*CTO*: Janan here.
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
@:: tries to restart the ships consoles and bring them back online:: self: No... talk about out of the pan, hmmmf
CEO_LtJGr_Heller says:
CNS:  Well I guess they will be needin me on the bridge then.  Glad you were able to meet my father though he is a great man.
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
*CNS*: We have just had some "developments" in sickbay, apparently MO Nightingale went a little crazy and was trying to perform an unauthorized operation on the FCO, do you think this is connected to your investigation?
CEO_LtJGr_Heller says:
::heads for the bridge with his father trailing behind him.::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::smiles to the CEO:: CEO: I'll join you in the TL on your way to the bridge.
Host XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
@::thumps the console in frustration::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
*CTO*: I can't say for sure but am on my way there.
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
*CNS*: Understood, let me know what you find, if this is a sign of things to come we may have problems!
CEO_LtJGr_Heller says:
::enters the lift and waits for his dad and the CNS::
