XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
::sat in his seat, going over the usual rotas and manifests that have been passed to him::
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
::is in Cargo Bay 1 overlooking the last minute cargo transfer operations::
Host Admiral_Ix says:
<OPS Solie>CO: Captain, internal sensors indicate Admiral Ix is aboard
Host Admiral_Ix says:
<OPS Solie>CO: she did not ask for escort
Doc_Greene says:
::Sitting on a small bench against the sickbay wall, staring at a vial-filler::
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
Crewman Stalone: Crewman, make sure you catalog all the cargo transfers so we know what we have stocked
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: slightly alarmed :: OPS: are you sure? double check that ... maybe its a sensor anomaly, a really bad one
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
CO: I guess she wants to catch us off guard
Host Admiral_Ix says:
ACTION: The Turbo lift doors on the bridge open and Admiral Ix comes in
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: quickly looks around the bridge ::
Host Admiral_Ix says:
<Crewman Stalone>::looking upset and bored:: CEO: everything is well catalogues Ensign

Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
All: admiral on the bridge!
Host Admiral_Ix says:
XO: Ask permission to leave the Starbase and head for coordinates 126 mark 2 CO: captain, I would like to speak with you
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
ADM: Admiral, uh... we weren’t expecting you just yet...?
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
::stands up:: Admiral Ix: Yes ma'am.
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
:: stands up and stands to attention ::
Doc_Greene says:
::Gets up from the bench and walks over to one of the biobeds::
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
XO: see to it please
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CO: Certainly you received your orders telling you I was going to arrive. I have a special assignment. I need a word in you ready room ::walks towards the Captain's ready room::
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
::closes the cargo bay hatch and taps on his comm badge:: *CO*: McKnight to the Captain, docking operations are complete sir, we are ready to leave.
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
::nods to the CO:: CO: aye sir.
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
OPS: Mr. Solie, request clearance from the Starbase to depart.
Host Admiral_Ix says:
::enters the ready room and takes the captain's seat::
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: Follows the Admiral :: *CEO* Very good, we will be departing shortly
Host Admiral_Ix says:
<OPS Solie>XO: aye sir, we have permission
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
FCO: Ensign Taylor, clear all moorings and take us out, thrusters only please
Doc_Greene says:
::Taps the little console a few times, deactivating the medical functions of the biobed, then lifts himself onto the bed and lies down::
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
XO: aye ::begins tapping buttons on his console , preparing for departure::
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: stands opposite the Admiral and looks at her expectantly ::
Host Admiral_Ix says:
::looks impatient::
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CO: We have a problem Captain
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
XO: Moorings clear, moving her away, thrusters only 
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: tries to shift his expression between a mix of surprise and understanding :; ADM: We do....?
Host Admiral_Ix says:
ACTION: The CEO trips over a replacement part which Stalone "misplaced" and falls. Blood comes out of his forehead
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
::sits back down in his seat:: FCO: Smooth and steady please, as the Captain says lets do this by the book.
Doc_Greene says:
::Closes his eyes as he listens to the sounds of the sickbay::
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
::lays in cargo bay 1 feeling dizzy::
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
ADM: which is?
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
*Sickbay:* McKnight to sickbay, is there a doctor in the house?
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
::looks for Stalone with his blurry vision::
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CO: Twelve hours ago we received a message from the Captain of the USS Sagres. It was gibberish at first but our computer was able to come up with a decoding algorithm for it
Doc_Greene says:
::Sighs as he opens his eyes and sit up. He taps his combadge:: *CEO*: Sickbay here, what can I do for you...
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
XO: aye aye :: starts to lightly touch the controls with modest speed hoping it doesn’t wobble ::
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: sits himself on the table ::ADM: what was the message?
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CO: He stated they were declaring "Independence" from Starfleet. Since then we have not been able to detect or hail the Sagres
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
*Doc_Green*: Doctor, can you come to Cargo bay 1 with a med kit, I don't think I can make it to you.
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CO: Starfleet does not believe it was mutiny. The garbling of the message is not consistent with that. We are to discretely locate the Sagres and assess the situation
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
ADM: A renegade?!
Doc_Greene says:
::Swings his legs beside the biobed:: *CEO*: On my way... What seems to be the problem? ::Jumps off the biobed, landing softly on his feet and heads for the exit, grabbing a med kit on his way::
Host Admiral_Ix says:
ACTION: The USS Elara slowly glides out of the Starbase. On several windows the crew can see the Starbase being replaced by the familiar star field
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
:: starts to speed things up slightly trying to stay alert and not hit too many wrong buttons, all too aware that their is an admiral aboard ::
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
*Doc_Green*: I fell over and hurt my head doctor ::laughs in pain::
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
::watches the scene on the view screen:: Self: No matter how many times I see that... FCO: Take us to the outer marker and set course bearing 126 mark 2 and engage at warp 6
Doc_Greene says:
::Shakes head as he enters the TL:: *CEO*: And now you can't come to sickbay? TL: Cargo bay one! ::Still shaking his head::
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: going over the possibilities in his head :: ADM: a whole crew revolting, the very idea seems absurd
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CO: Not unseen however. We believe someone took control of the Sagres and her crew or ...
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CO: They were investigating an area of space with strong psyonic radiation. They might have gone crazy. If they do this is certainly something we don't want our enemies to know
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
ADM: your talking about control of there minds?
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
::wipes the blood off his forehead with his hand::
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CO: That will be for us to find out Captain
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
ADM: A whole crew.. uh did you say us?
Doc_Greene says:
::Exits the TL near the Cargo bay and walks the last few meters to the entrance. Stepping in, he doesn't notice anyone at first:: All: Hello? Anybody here?
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CO: Yes Captain, I am going with you as you can see
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
Doc_Green: over here doctor ::sees a blurry image of him::
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
XO: Aye aye, We are away :: punches in the Coordinates :: XO: Warp six
Host Admiral_Ix says:
ACTION: The Elara enters warp in a subspace flash and leaves the Starbase behind
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: looks up at the ceiling as if looking for the right words :: ADM: Of course :: thinking hard ::
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
::leans back and relaxes slightly:: FCO: Now all we have to do is find out why we are heading this way.
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CO: Is there something on your mind ... Captain?
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
:: starts monitoring the Elara's course from his panel ::
Doc_Greene says:
::Looks to his left, seeing an ensign wearing yellow sitting against a crate, blood running down his face:: CEO: Ah, there you are... ::Walks to he ensign, taking a medical Tricorder from the med kit while walking:: Let's see...
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
ADM: The safety of my crew, I don’t want to follow in the footsteps of the Sagres
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
Doc_Green: Doc, my vision is blurry, I can't see a thing... ::closes his eyes::
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
XO: sir, I'm detecting a nebula approximately 15 minutes and 35 seconds away at our present warp speed
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CO: Of course Captain. We will not enter the psyonic  field until we have more information. I believe we will detect the Sagres before that
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CO: If we don't, we will decide then. Is that clear Mr Timrok?
Doc_Greene says:
CEO: Alright... just sit back and relax... I'll have you fixed up in no time... ::Scans McKnight's head::
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
ADM: There is one other matter we should clear up - before things start getting messy
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
FCO: Understood, unless we hear anything before then drop us out of warp before we reach it
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CO: Yes?
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
ADM: Who is command of this ship?
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
XO: aye sir :: continues to monitor the Elara's course preparing for a possible drop from current warp velocity ::
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CO: You are of course. I am just ... watching ::smiles, not a pleasing smile::
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
FCO: Can you tell at this range what the nebula is composed off? ::feels his tail trying to twitch::
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
Doc_Green: is it serious doc ::blinks his eyes trying to clear up his vision:: That crewman should be given control of an empty brig, not a cargo bay
Doc_Greene says:
Outloud: Hmm.... Yes.... ::Puts the Tricorder away and grabs a hypo spray with a mild sedative:: CEO: This may sting a little... ::Presses the hypo spray to McKnight's forehead and presses the trigger::
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
XO : running diagnostic as I speak sir......
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: Nods ::  ADM: I just wanted to make sure 
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
ADM: then the crew should be aware of the situation
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CO: Very well. We will arrive at the edge of the nebula in 30 minutes. Make intensive scans of the are
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CO: Until we are clear on where the Sagres is, I would like this to be kept on a need to know basis. And only you need to know about the transmission
Doc_Greene says:
::Mutters some more:: CEO: No, not really... That cut isn't the main concern though... The Tricorder showed a slight trace of an inner ear infection... I'll have to take a look at that in sickbay... ::Grabs a dermal regenerator while talking, and runs it over the cut:: When is your duty shift over?
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
ADM: one more thing, just how far are we authorized to go with regard to the Sagres, if things go wrong i mean
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
:: as the " Diagnostic complete " symbol flashes he taps a few buttons and raises his head :: XO: Sir, The Nebula is mostly Helium, Hydrogen and some Carbon. There are some other compounds at trace amounts
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CO: If she has gone renegade you are to do everything to recover the ship and her crew. Everything
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
FCO: Just your run of the mill gaseous phenomenon then ::mumbles something to himself::
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
::slowly gets up on his feet:: Doc_Green: My shift ends in 2 hours doctor
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
ADM: Yes I’m just concerned about what will happen if the crew wont come and they wont give us back the ship
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CO: Well then, we will have to take it by force. Starfleet is not fond of theft. Of course causalities should remain at the minimum necessary
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
XO: ETA 5 minutes until contact with the nebula
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
FCO: Understood.
Doc_Greene says:
::Nods:: CEO: Alright, report to sickbay when your shift is over. I don't foresee any problems, but I'd rather be certain. Anyway, you should be good to get back to work again... ::Smiles as he puts the dermal regenerator away again::
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
*Admiral Ix*: Mesme to Ix, sorry to disturb you ma'am but we are detecting a nebula 5 minutes in front of us, do you wish us to cross it or drop out of warp before we reach it?
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: watches the Admiral's response ::
Host Admiral_Ix says:
::taps her badge::*XO*: drop to impulse at enter the nebula, same heading ::looks at the CO::
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
Doc_Green: Thank you doctor, I'll see you in sickbay in 2 hours ::grabs his padd from the cargo bay floor and heads for main engineering::
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
*Admiral Ix*: Understood, Mesme out.
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
ADM: Ok then, if you like I’ll have Mesme assign you some quarters for the duration
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
FCO: You heard the lady Mr. Taylor, when we reach the nebula drop to impulse and continue ahead, three quarters impulse I think
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CO: In the mean time, advise your doctor we are going into an area with psyonic energy. I want him to have neural stabilizers for the whole crew ready. May it be the Elara's crew or the Sagres
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CO: Yes and I intend to ... watch from the bridge
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
ADM: Of course
Host Admiral_Ix says:
ACTION: The Elara drops out of warp next to the colourful nebula
Doc_Greene says:
::Nods as the CEO heads out:: Self: If they all call for doctors for these things, we'll be seriously under-staffed soon.. ::Sighs, as he picks up the kit and returns to sickbay::
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: Turns to exit toward the bridge :: ADM: If that will be all I’ll get to work
Host Admiral_Ix says:
::gets up as well:: CO: That is all for now ::heads towards the bridge as well::
Host Admiral_Ix says:
<Ens Lost>::arrives at sickbay, distressed::
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
:: hits a few more buttons then leans patiently back on his chair with his hands clasped on his lap ::
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
::turns to OPS:: OPS: Full sensor sweeps please Mr. Solie, lets make sure there is nothing out there ::watches the nebula with suspicion::
Host Admiral_Ix says:
<OPS Solie>::nods to the XO::
Host Admiral_Ix says:
<OPS Solie>*CEO*: Solie to McKnight
Doc_Greene says:
::Enters sickbay a few minutes after and puts the med kit away. He walks over to the biobed, seeing it's still deactivated, and gets onto it again::
Host Admiral_Ix says:
<Ens Lost>Greene: ah there you are. I have a huge headache
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: walks out onto the bridge :: XO: When you have a moment find the admiral some free quarters would you.. she will be staying for a while
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: looks up at the view screen expectantly ::
Host Admiral_Ix says:
ACTION: Nothing but colorful gas on the view screen
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
CO: Aye sir, I’m sure we have some guest quarters free.
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
*OPS Solie* Yes Mr. Solie?
Host Admiral_Ix says:
::sits in the CNS's chair::
Host Admiral_Ix says:
<OPS Solie>*CEO*: I need more power to sensors, we are inside a nebula
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
*OPS Solie* Stand by, I am going to feed you some power from the warp generator,....we don't need that now ::taps on the console a few times::
Host Admiral_Ix says:
<OPS Solie>CO/XO: all sensors read normally
Host Admiral_Ix says:
ACTION: To those paying attention to the view screen, they might notice the colourful gases suddenly disappear being replaced by ... nothing
Host Admiral_Ix says:
<OPS Solie>::looking at his console::
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
All: we are looking for the USS Sagres, focus the sensor sweeps to pick up her trail
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
::continues to watch the view screen with trepidation::
Host Admiral_Ix says:
<OPS Solie>CO: Aye capt...we have a problem ::taps his console::
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
All: Where did the nebula and stars go?
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
::after walking through all the hallways, he exits the TL and walks onto the bridge::
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
OPS: which is?
Host Admiral_Ix says:
<OPS Solie>CO:I think its a problem with the view screen ::frowns:: CO: Sensors read normally
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
::takes a glimpse at the view screen:: Solie: Aren’t we supposed to be in a nebula....and in space as a matter of fact?
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
CEO: are the sensors ok?
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
CO: Sensors are fine captain, I just left engineering and they were fine
Host Admiral_Ix says:
<OPS Solie>CO: according to sensors we are still moving inside the nebula
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CO: Captain I suggest a full stop
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: nods :: FCO: Hold position
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
Co: aye captain :: grinds the Elara to a stop :
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
::walks over to the engineering console and checks the power transfer grid::
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
::moves over to the OPS console to take a look at the sensor readings::
Doc_Greene says:
::Suddenly realizes he was being addressed and sits up again:: Out loud: Can't they ever leave me alone? Lost: Yes, ensign.. Since when do you have this problem?
Host Admiral_Ix says:
ACTION: On the view screen, drifting ahead, the Elara crew can see a Galaxy Class ship. The hull reads USS Sagres
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
CEO: are we picking up any kind of radiation from the surroundings?
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
FCO: red Alert
Host Admiral_Ix says:
<Ens Lost>Greene: About 10 minutes ago, I never had a headache before. The doctors said my nerves had a defect so my head would never hurt
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
CO : aye sir!
Doc_Greene says:
::Gets off the biobed and taps the controls, turning it on again:: Lost: Alright.. Please, lay down here... We'll see what's wrong with you...
Host Admiral_Ix says:
<Ens Lost>::does as he is told for a change::
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
FCO: hail the Sagres
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
::looks at the Captain and wonders:: CO: Are we expecting trouble sir?
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
::still looking on the sensors:: CO: Captain, still no unusual readings of any kind.
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
CEO: look for anything which could fall into psyonic or telepathic transmissions
Doc_Greene says:
::Starts a scan of Lost's head, and is shocked by the results. Very high level of neural instability:: Lost: Ensign... I'm showing a very high level of neural instability... I'm not sure what's causing it...
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
CO: aye captain ::calibrates the sensors to scan for bio energy::
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
::looks at the OPS sensor readings, to the view screen and back again:: Self: Nebulas...
CEO_Ens_McKnight says:
CO: Sensors readings are still normal captain
Doc_Greene says:
::Sees more results:: Out loud: Hmm.... What is going on here... Lost: Alright ensign, I'm afraid I'll have to keep you in sickbay for now... ::turns around to the nearest nurse:: Nurse: Nurse, please prepare one of the isolation wards... ::Looks back at lost:: Lost: I'll find out what I can do...
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
::hails the Sagres:: COM: USS Sagres: USS Sagres this is FCO Ens Taylor of the starship Elara , what is your present condition?, do you copy?
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
CEO: very well, keep your eyes open for anything in those frequencies
Host Admiral_Ix says:
<Ens_Lost>::scared::
Host Admiral_Ix says:
ACTION: The FCO has no response
Doc_Greene says:
::Steps away:: *Bridge*: Sickbay to bridge. We have a problem in sickbay. Ensign Lost just reported with a big headache. Brain scans indicate a high degree of neural instability.. At the rate it's progressing now, he'll be dead in three hours time...
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
COM: USS Sagres: USS Sagres do you copy!..... CO: Sir I'm receiving no response
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: frowns to both the FCO's answer and the Doctors COM ::
