CMO_Riker says:
::enters the turbo lift:: Computer: Bridge 

XO_Vekh says:
<quit = quick>

CNS_Sheyra says:
FCO:  I have a feeling not.  But for now, I need to address one more concern that has been brought to attention.  You seem to be leaning toward accessive drinking lately....

Host CO_Rya says:
TO: Any telemetry yet?

TO_KTracht says:
::glances over at the CSO::

CTO_Nimitz says:
::enters the bridge::

XO_Vekh says:
::dresses up and returns to the bathroom, starting to shave himself::

FCO_B`lee says:
::rolls his eyes and sighs again:: CNS: Geez, what is this ... a ship full of Mormons? I have a couple of drinks *off duty* and all of a sudden the Counselor and Captain are breathing down my neck.

Host MikeyS says:
ACTION: Incoming telemetry from the probe.

FCO_B`lee says:
::points at her:: CNS: The CMO doesn't seem to have an issue with my drinking ... don't you think if it were a problem he'd be the first person to talk to me?

CTO_Nimitz says:
TO: Anything from the probe?

CSO_P`Rraos says:
CO: telemetrrry incoming sirrrr. One moment.

CNS_Sheyra says:
FCO:  When it is out of normal observed behavior, yes it is.  As for the CMO, he is new to this crew.

Host CO_Rya says:
::Turns and nods her thanks to P'Rraos::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Taps the console, then the side console entering Engineering data::

XO_Vekh says:
::washes his now shave face:: Self: Sleek as an android butt

FCO_B`lee says:
CNS: Oh, I see ... and just how often do you normally observe me, Counselor? Any behaviour you observe would be outside of your normal observation of me ... you and I have never even spoken before.

TO_KTracht says:
CTO : the CSO is recieving telemetry now sir.

CNS_Sheyra says:
FCO:  Stop being so defensive, it is rather annoying.  I did not say my observations, nor did I mention any one elses, but it has been observed and it was brought to me to ask as that is part of my job.

XO_Vekh says:
::exits his quarters and takes a turbolift:: Computer: Deck 01

FCO_B`lee says:
CNS: Since when is it part of the Counselor's job to deal with a potential medical condition?

CSO_P`Rraos says:
CO: It looks like therrre is a multivarrriance displacemtn of grrravimetrrric rrreadings. The seem to be localized to an arrrea about 500 meterrrs by 500 meterrrs. ::sends relivant data to TAC and Conn as well as CO's console::

CMO_Riker says:
::exits out onto the bridge:: 

TO_KTracht says:
::looks over the data::

Host CO_Rya says:
::Views the data on her arm console::

FCO_B`lee says:
::crosses his arms across his chest:: CNS: Alcoholism, after all, is a disease ... I'm sure you'd agree, Counselor.

CNS_Sheyra says:
FCO:  It is a medical condition if it is something that has been ongoing and perhaps treated.  It is the counselors position when it suddenly pops up... especially after an incident.

CMO_Riker says:
::misses being on the bridge::

Host CO_Rya says:
CSO/CTO/TO: Any speculation on what's causing it gentlemen?

FCO_B`lee says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CNS: And exactly what incident would you be referring to?

CMO_Riker says:
CO: may i have a moment of your time captain to speak privately ?

CSO_P`Rraos says:
::begins focusing sensors on the area, correlating them with the probe telemetry::

Host CO_Rya says:
::Looks up at the doctor.:: CMO: In a moment doctor Riker.

CNS_Sheyra says:
::Sighs::  FCO:  I really wanted to leave that to Azhure... but now I will leave it up to you if you want to discuss it with me or her.  I am referring to the death of West.

CSO_P`Rraos says:
CO: Not at this time sirrr. Focusing sensorrr pallets on the arrrea now.

FCO_B`lee says:
::frowns and mutters:: CNS: My drinking has nothing to do with West's death.

XO_Vekh says:
::enters the bridge after taking the scenic route with the turbolift::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Routes power to secondary systems::

CNS_Sheyra says:
FCO: I take it then I should leave this in the hands of Azhure.

FCO_B`lee says:
::with more energy:: CNS: I can't wait to tell K'Tracht to stay away from the bloodwine ... if he has too much he could end up down here talking to you.

XO_Vekh says:
::notices that everyone has decided to show up today, even the CMO is on the Bridge:: CO: Captain. ::nods approaching the command area::

Host CO_Rya says:
::Sees Drayan arrive.:: XO: Welcome back Commander. CTO: Lt. Nimitz, please bring Commander Vekh up to speed. XO: You have the bridge. CMO: We can talk in my office.

CNS_Sheyra says:
::Chuckles::  FCO:  I would be more concerned to see him stay away then indulging too much.  Off with you Lt.  The ship needs its pilot.

Host CO_Rya says:
::Stands up and looks around to make sure everyone is clear.::

XO_Vekh says:
CO: Very well Captain ::turns to Nimitz:: CTO: Anything I should be aware about, Lieutenant?

FCO_B`lee says:
CNS: It's about time... ::stands and picks up his duty jacket, before storming out of the office::

Host CO_Rya says:
::Gestures to her ready room and lets the CMO go first.::

CNS_Sheyra says:
::Sits back and watches him, a controversial of reactions.::

CSO_P`Rraos says:
::walks over to the TO:: TO: K'Trrract, what do you make of it?

CMO_Riker says:
::follows the captain into her ready room::

OPS_Taylor says:
;;Starts a diagostic on the backup systems::

TO_KTracht says:
::looks at the CSO:: CSO : Could be a whole lot of things... We would need more data to speculate further..

CNS_Sheyra says:
*CO*:  Just to let you know, I have release B'lee to your tender care.  He should be on his way back to the bridge.

FCO_B`lee says:
::hurries down the corridors, happy to be free of that annoying Counselor finally::

CTO_Nimitz says:
XO: Welcome Commander ::grins:: We're receiving some weird readings from the cluster. Basically, in a area of 500mtrsx500mtrs we're reading some kind of gravimetric disturbance

Host CO_Rya says:
::Taps her comm badge:: *CNS*: Thank you Lieutenant.

CSO_P`Rraos says:
TO: I'm focusing the ship's sensorrrs onto the arrrea. I'll make surrre all the data goes to yourrr consoles as well.

FCO_B`lee says:
::steps into the turbolift and hollers at it:: TL: Bridge!

XO_Vekh says:
::following the datastream scrolling on the Tactical console, by Nimitz side:: CTO: Interesting, Mr. Nimitz. Have you tried to correlate it with the data we received from the Hydra? They may have come across a similiar phenomena

TO_KTracht says:
::shakes head:: CSO : THe area is not to prone to correct data... A well equiped shuttle would be more likely to find pertinent information..

FCO_B`lee says:
::kicks the wall, trying to get his emotions under control::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Make sure the Sonic Showers on Deck 8 are functioning, and replicator systems in the lounge are working::

FCO_B`lee says:
::slips the duty jacket on over his shoulders and ties his hair back in a pony tail::

Host CO_Rya says:
::Enters the ready room and heads for the replicator, orders a cup of tea.:: CMO: Would you like anything?

CSO_P`Rraos says:
TO: I can rrrun that idea by the XO. The arrrea isn't that far frrrom us.

FCO_B`lee says:
::takes a few deep breaths as the turbolift slows and arrives on the bridge, steps out and glances around::

XO_Vekh says:
::picks on the TO and CSO's conversation:: TO/CSO: Seems you two my have a possible action plan, gentlemen. Would you care to share?

TO_KTracht says:
::nods:: CSO  : MAke sure to remind him whose idea it was... I would like to be on that shuttle..

FCO_B`lee says:
::steps over to the bridge engineering station and activates it::

CMO_Riker says:
CO: Raktajino wood be perfect thank you

CNS_Sheyra says:
::Looks down at her schedule::  *CSO*:  P'Rroas, you busy?

Host CO_Rya says:
::Nods and gets the Raktajino <however it's spelled> and hands it to the doctor before taking her seat.:: CMO: What's on your mind doctor?

CTO_Nimitz says:
::walks to the nearest aux console and begins checking Hydra's logs::

CSO_P`Rraos says:
::nods to the TO:: XO: Sirrr, with the data being rrreturrrned frrrom the sensorrrs not being as acurrrate as we need, Lt K'Tracht has come up with an idea to use a shuttle to get closerrr to the arrrea. I concurrr with his idea. With the rrright modifications, it should worrrk.

CMO_Riker says:
::sits down and crosses his leg:: CO: i want u in sickbay for a cheek up captain 

FCO_B`lee says:
::scrolls through the recent text communications between propulsion and main engineering getting himself caught up on anything important::

CSO_P`Rraos says:
::taps his comm badge:: *Sheyra*: A little at the moment counselorrr. Is whateverrr you need imporrrtant?

XO_Vekh says:
::circles railling from the back of the bridge and steps onto the command deck, taking the center seat:: CSO: That is ... an interesting alternative, Mr. P'Rraos

FCO_B`lee says:
::shuts down the engineering station and turns, heading for the front of the bridge and the flight controls, relieving the junior officer there::

CNS_Sheyra says:
*CSO*:  It can wait, was just getting to your request for a session.

Host CO_Rya says:
::Leans back in her chair.:: CMO: I wasn't aware that I was due for a physical, however, I'd be happy to come down to sickbay for one after my duty shift.

CSO_P`Rraos says:
*Sheyra*: Can I contact you when the currrrent situation is finished?

XO_Vekh says:
CSO/TO/CTO: However, I'd prefer we first try out every possible measures to boast the probe's signal before sending in a shuttle.

CNS_Sheyra says:
*CSO*:  Sure, no problem.

OPS_Taylor says:
::Sits back and checks the Warp Containment Field, and does a level 3 diagnostic::

CSO_P`Rraos says:
::steps to science I and begins checking the probe's readings a second time::

CNS_Sheyra says:
::Moves onto the next listed session and calls in Ensign Rio'ois.

FCO_B`lee says:
::sits down next to Taylor and nods at the superior officer::

TO_KTracht says:
::turns to the CSO:: CSO : Any more ideas on how to boost the probe's signal?

CSO_P`Rraos says:
*Sheyra*: Thank you. P'Rraos out.

CMO_Riker says:
CO: where this till then ::hands u a little miniture monitor that will monitor all ure vitals and stuff:: CO: it will alert me if anything goes wrong 

XO_Vekh says:
CSO/TO/CTO: Given the random pattern of the disturbances, it would be too risky to jump right onto it. ::addresses the TO:: TO: However, Mr. KTracht, it would not hurt to start some preparations. Whenever you have the time, coordinate with Engineering on modifying a shuttle

CTO_Nimitz says:
XO: I don't think its safe to send out a shuttle, only it were absolutely necesary we should send a shuttle, but unmanned.

OPS_Taylor says:
::Nods at B'lee, and goes back to work::

FCO_B`lee says:
::pulls the flight console to him and enters his access codes::

Host CO_Rya says:
::Looks at the monitor he handed her.:: CMO: This can't possibly be necessary.

Host CO_Rya says:
::Eyes him.:: CMO: I'll be available for that exam in less than eight hours.

CSO_P`Rraos says:
TO: We could trrry and focus a narrrrow beam frrrom the main deflectorrr dish, clearrring a path as it werrre to the prrrobe and clearrring interrrferrence to it.

XO_Vekh says:
::turning to face the viewscreen:: TO/OPS: Ah..and Mr. Taylor here seems more than willing to help out on that task, I assume

OPS_Taylor says:
::Tapping at his padd, making sure power is routed to Sickbay and Emergency Power is on standyby::

CMO_Riker says:
CO: I think it is and its just untill you can make it to sick bay for a full physical i wouldnt be so insisting about it if i didnt care for you and consider you afriend so please captain

XO_Vekh says:
CTO: Noted, Lieutenant.

TO_KTracht says:
::nods:: CSO : Could work... Now if you'll excuse me...

TO_KTracht says:
OPS : Lt.. care to join me?

FCO_B`lee says:
XO: Commander, we are 100,000 kilometers from the anomaly and closing.

FCO_B`lee says:
::drops the ship down from warp to impulse::

TO_KTracht says:
::moves to the nearest TL::

Host CO_Rya says:
::Studies the doctor for a moment and sips her tea.:: CMO: If I wear this ::emphasizes if:: It will only be until the end of this shift. I will not be wearing one of these all the time.

XO_Vekh says:
FCO: can you extrapolate from the probe's data what's likely to be a minimum safe distance we could take the Europa to the anomaly, without being affected?

OPS_Taylor says:
TO: Why not. ::Smiles and gets up::

TO_KTracht says:
::enters the TL, and waits for Taylor to enter:: TL : Shuttlebay

FCO_B`lee says:
::raises an eyebrow and glances back at Vekh:: XO: Umm ... I could try, but Mister PR'raos would probably be more capable of handling that.

CMO_Riker says:
CO: please wear it till you can make it to sickbay for a full exam and physical 

OPS_Taylor says:
::Enters the TL::

XO_Vekh says:
FCO: I trust your inventiveness, Mr. B'lee ::swirls the chair to face the Science station:: CSO: This is a long-shot, but can the LRS pick a visual on the anomaly?

CSO_P`Rraos says:
::perks up his ears at the FCO's comments and begins figuring the safe distance:: XO: With the sourrrce of the disturrbance unknown, and the unusal makeup of the arrrea sirrr, I would rrreccomend not getting any closerrr than 50,000 kilometerrrs to the anomaly.

FCO_B`lee says:
XO: Aye sir.. ::turns back to his console and begins to peck away at the controls::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Gets out and heads for the Shuttles::

TO_KTracht says:
::follows Taylor::

XO_Vekh says:
FCO: Your heard the man, Lieutenant. Make it 50,000 Km and not an inch closer

CSO_P`Rraos says:
XO: I'll see if I can focus them enough through the interrrferrence sirrr. ::begins trying to use the ship's sensors to augment the probes to get a visual of the anomaly::

Host CO_Rya says:
::Puts her cup down and pulls up some data on her monitor. A slow smile spreads across her lips.:: CMO: I will wear this monitor for the next eight hours only to help you get a baseline for your records. But, you need to report to Lt. Sheyra right now for your psych exam which is long overdue. It's standard procedure for all new crewmembers.

FCO_B`lee says:
::sighs slightly and shakes his head:: XO: Yes sir ... closing to 50,000 km.

TO_KTracht says:
OPS : Replacing the sensor package for an upgraded one should give us the resolution we want..

TO_KTracht says:
OPS : We can remove some of the non-essential systems to make up the space..

OPS_Taylor says:
TO: Alright, and we should grab a subspace beacon too.

FCO_B`lee says:
::closes on the anomaly at full impulse::

TO_KTracht says:
OPS : Subspace beacon?

Host CO_Rya says:
::Picks up her tea and takes several more sips::

FCO_B`lee says:
XO: Commander, we're entering visual range of the anomaly... ::puts it on screen::

CMO_Riker says:
CO: and at the end of that 8 hours you will ::emphasizes will:: report  for ure physical

OPS_Taylor says:
TO: Incase we get lost.

CMO_Riker says:
CO: ok ?

TO_KTracht says:
OPS : I thought subspace beacons where standar equipment on all shuttles? Part of the emergency package?

Host CO_Rya says:
::See's the anomoly drifting closer and wonders what's happening on the bridge.:: CMO: If circumstances allow. Now shall I tell Lt. Sheyra that you're on your way or would you prefer to?

XO_Vekh says:
FCO: Thank you Mr B'lee ::looks at the viewscreen with curiosity at what that anomaly will look like::

OPS_Taylor says:
TO: We need this one to break the anomaly's barrier.

CSO_P`Rraos says:
XO: Sirrr, my rrreadings arrre still a bit off. Rrrequesting perrrmission to corrrdinate with enginerrring on modifying the deflectorrr dish.

XO_Vekh says:
CSO: Granted, Lieutenant

Host MikeyS says:
ACTION: A visual of the anomaly doesn't reveal much of anything... sensors seem confused about what to make of it.

FCO_B`lee says:
::keys the engines to all stop as they approach the fifty thousand kilometer mark:: XO: Engines answering all stop, Commander.

CSO_P`Rraos says:
::taps his comm badge and communicates back and forth with main enginerring on the deflector dish modifications::

Host CO_Rya says:
::Finishes her drink and stands up::

TO_KTracht says:
OPS :Ahh..

CMO_Riker says:
when ::emphasizes when:: you take the monitor off ill expect you in sickbay ok ::smiles:: Self: if were not at red alert or some other emergency

XO_Vekh says:
::attempts to convey a hint of amusement at the visage of the anomaly:: All: well...indeed looks....fascinating

CMO_Riker says:
CO:  when ::emphasizes when:: you take the monitor off ill expect you in sickbay ok ::smiles:: Self: if were not at red alert or some other emergency

CNS_Sheyra says:
::Getting Rio'ois update, she smiles, makes a suggestion to add to his drawings, which are therapy for him, and smiles him out.::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Goes to the shuttle and pulls out the beacon and begins the modifications::

Host CO_Rya says:
CMO: Okay. ::Puts the monitor on and pulls her hair over it. Enjoy your meeting with Lt. Sheyra.

TO_KTracht says:
::enters the shuttle, and start removing some of the non-essential systems::

Host CO_Rya says:
CMO: Now if that's all?

XO_Vekh says:
FCO: Acknowledged. Maintain position and verify the SIF to determine if we are getting any pressure from the gravitational waves. Be ready to move off on a minutes notice

Host CO_Rya says:
::Starts walking towards the door::

CMO_Riker says:
CO: for now captain

CTO_Nimitz says:
::finishes checking Hydra's logs:: XO: Uss Hydra didn't find any disturbances of this kind, this one must have developed in the last few days.

CSO_P`Rraos says:
::Gets acknowledgement from enginerring that the mods are done:: XO: Sirrr, modifications done. Begining to focus it on the probe.

CMO_Riker says:
::stands and walks towards the doors::

CSO_P`Rraos says:
::begins sending a focused beam to the probe to clear sensor interference and unpdates visual data directly to the main viewscreen::

CMO_Riker says:
*CNS* Riker to Sheyra

OPS_Taylor says:
::Does the final modifications and places the beacon back::

CNS_Sheyra says:
::Updates his progress and her recommendations.::

Host CO_Rya says:
::Dumps the cups in the replicator and presses the recycle button and heads out onto the bridge.::

FCO_B`lee says:
::sees the Captain exit her Ready Room:: All: Captain on the bridge!

Host CO_Rya says:
::Tries not to jump at B'lee's announcement.:: FCO: Thank you Lt. B'lee. ::Heads for her chair.::

XO_Vekh says:
CTO: Interesting. Are you detecting any emissions, other than the gravitational ones, from the anomaly, Mr Nimitz? Tachyons, whatever?

TO_KTracht says:
::insters the modified sensor package and connects it to the shuttle systems::

OPS_Taylor says:
TO: How's it going up there?

CNS_Sheyra says:
*CMO*:  Sorry doctor, what can I do for you?

FCO_B`lee says:
::taps at the structural integrity readout checking to see what degree of return is being received from the gravitational waves from the anomaly::

CMO_Riker says:
*CNS* Whens a good time for anapoinment 

Host CO_Rya says:
XO: What's our status Commander Vekh?

CTO_Nimitz says:
XO: Nothing but gravitons.

XO_Vekh says:
::gets up from the center chair and faces the captain:: CO: We are now at 50,000 Km from the anomaly, sir. This is the estimated safe distance from it. Science is about to attempt clearing the probe's signal by rigging it through the deflector dish

Host MikeyS says:
ACTION: The anomaly begins to shrink in size.

CNS_Sheyra says:
*CMO*:  Now works fine.

CMO_Riker says:
*CNS* ok kool im on my way

CSO_P`Rraos says:
CO/XO: The anomaly is shrrrrinking sirrrs. Trrrying to find out why thrrrough the prrrobe's sensorrrs.

FCO_B`lee says:
XO: Commander, the amount of effort being put out by the structural integrity field is dropping in proportion to the size of the anomaly.

CSO_P`Rraos says:
::tries to boost the probe's sensor power and keep the beam in it to keep interference clear::

FCO_B`lee says:
CSO: Maybe it finds us repulsive.

TO_KTracht says:
::gets up from under the console, ad starts tapping commands on  it::

TO_KTracht says:
OPS : Let's see if this works..

CNS_Sheyra says:
*CMO*:  I'll see you when you get here then.

OPS_Taylor says:
::Grabs 2 EV Suits and places them in the shuttle and sits beside the TO:: TO: Alright.

XO_Vekh says:
FCO: Indeed that would be a reasonable explanation, Lieutenant ::serious::

CSO_P`Rraos says:
::tries to focus the ship's sensors on the anomoly to augment the probe::

FCO_B`lee says:
::hasn't a clue and just shrugs::

CNS_Sheyra says:
::Finishes the last report and pulls up the new doctors, whom she has yet to meet.::

Host CO_Rya says:
::Nods at summary and looks at the readouts on her console.:: XO: Is this anomoly the cause of the readings the probe returned?

TO_KTracht says:
::brings the sensor package online:: OPS : Let's see if i didn't connect something the wrong way

XO_Vekh says:
CO: Most likely, sir. Captain, I suggest we maintain our position here in any case.

CSO_P`Rraos says:
::turns to look at the CTO:: CTO: Sirrr, any chance of therrre being a cloaked vessel orrr just a ship hiding out therre that could be causing this?

TO_KTracht says:
::watches teh monitors:: OPS : Power readings ok... Diagnostics check out..

Host CO_Rya says:
XO: Agreed.

XO_Vekh says:
CTO/CSO: Keep a closer look as possible onto that anomaly. I want to know the very same minute if it begins to pour off anything other than gravitons.

OPS_Taylor says:
TO: Lets get going shall we?

CSO_P`Rraos says:
XO: Aye sirrr.

TO_KTracht says:
OPS : Going? where?

XO_Vekh says:
CO: There's the possibility of the structure is imploding somehow...like a star about to change into a black hole

FCO_B`lee says:
::maintains position at 50,000 km::

TO_KTracht says:
::focuses the sensor's shuttle on the inner structure of the Europa's SHuttlebay::

OPS_Taylor says:
TO: Let's start scanning I mean

Host MikeyS says:
ACTION: The anomaly is continuing to shrink.... at the rate of shrinkage it will be completely closed in 10 minutes.

Host CO_Rya says:
::Shifts in her chair, wanting to know more about what they're facing, but knows the crew is more than capable of figuring it out themselves. Raises an eyebrow at the XO's comment.:: XO: If that's the case, we will need to back off. An implosion could in theory suck us closer.

TO_KTracht says:
::nods:: OPS : Already on it.. ::checks the readings he's getting::

CMO_Riker says:
::walks off the bridge and into the turbolift:: Computer Deck 12

TO_KTracht says:
OPS : Interesting.. Looks like Ensign Ragiro has found the wonders of the sauna.. ::grins, and shows OPS to the IR readings and id comming from the comm badge of the ensign::

CTO_Nimitz says:
CSO: Interesting suggestion, we could try firing an antiproton beam.

Host CO_Rya says:
XO: Has a probe been launched right into the heart of it?

TO_KTracht says:
OPS : Looks like we're in business..

OPS_Taylor says:
::Laughs::

TO_KTracht says:
OPS : You wanna tell the XO we're ready?

XO_Vekh says:
CO: Indeed sir. CSO: what's the probe's relative position to the anomaly? CTO: How long before total collapse of the anomaly?

CSO_P`Rraos says:
::quickly grins at the CTO:: CTO: They have to pay me forrr something herrre I guess.

OPS_Taylor says:
*XO*: We're ready down here.

CSO_P`Rraos says:
::checks the probes current position:: XO: The prrrobe is sitting just shy of 500 kilometerrrs frrrom the anamoly sirrr.

FCO_B`lee says:
XO/CO: The shrinkage rate of this anomaly is quite impressive ... if my readings are correct, it will completely seal itself in a matter of minutes.

Host CO_Rya says:
::Turns around:: CSO: Send it right into the center of the anomoly Lt. P'Rraos.

CTO_Nimitz says:
CO&XO: Sir, it'd be wise to step back

XO_Vekh says:
CO: Captain, I'd suggest moving the probe right into the anomaly's core. We may not get another chance to study anything like this

CSO_P`Rraos says:
CO: Aye sirrr. ::sends the coded orders to the probe to enter the anamoly. He tries to keep the beam focused on the probe as it does so::

XO_Vekh says:
*OPS*: Hold on Mr Taylor. There's something going on with the anomaly. It would not be safe to launch at this juncture

Host CO_Rya says:
::Agrees with Luc:: FCO: Pull us back 5,000 KM Lt. B'lee.

FCO_B`lee says:
::shakes his head not sure what the difference between 50,000 km and 55,000 km is:: CO: Aye sir... ::engages thrusters, pushing the Europa backwards through space.

OPS_Taylor says:
*XO*: Aye.  TO: We are on hold it looks like...

TO_KTracht says:
::growls in frustration::

CSO_P`Rraos says:
::watches his sensors as the probe enters the anamoly::

Host CO_Rya says:
FCO: When we have two minutes left till it vanishes, pull us back to our original location.

FCO_B`lee says:
::glances back at the Captain and frowns, reversing engines again::

Host MikeyS says:
ACTION: Anomaly closure in 5.... 4.... 3... 2... 1....
The anomaly is now closed.

Host MikeyS says:
