USS Europa
Stardate 10302.09

Host MikeyS says:
<<< Resume Europa Mission, Stardate 10302.09, 20:04 Eastern >>>

Host CO_Rya says:
::Looks around the bridge and then turns to K'Tracht.:: FCO: Lt. K'Tracht, why don't we put the Europa through her paces and try out some of those fancy manuevers I heard you know.

XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::glances at Rya thinking she's either lost her mind or is very bored:: CO: Ala ... Captain, is everything all right?

FCO_KTracht says:
::tursn back, revolving his chair:: CO : You think you're up to it, ma'am?

Host CO_Rya says:
::Waves her safety belt at him and grins.:: FCO: Sure.

FCO_KTracht says:
::grins, and truns back to the CONN:: CO : You asked for it...

CNS_Azhure says:
::In her office, staring out the window::

Host CO_Rya says:
::Smiles at Kief.:: XO: Everythings fine Commander. I think Mr. K'Tracht could use some practice lest he get rusty. ::Winks::

FCO_KTracht says:
::sets the ship on Full impulse, and starts rolling it as they approach a nearby planet for an eliptical maneuver::

XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::mutters and tightens his seat belt:: CO: No danger of that...

Host CO_Rya says:
XO: You think not? ::Is still grinning.::

Host MikeyS says:
ACTION: Incoming communiqué.. priority distress call coming in.

CNS_Azhure says:
::Swimming before her vision, is Kief's face.::

FCO_KTracht says:
::engages warp just as they are nearest to the planet, coming out of it two microseconds later, on an elliptical course but on a different planet::

XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::glances at the command console:: FCO: Mister K'Tracht ... cancel your manuevers. ::reads the message:: CO: Priority distress signal, Captain.

Host CO_Rya says:
::Watches the changes on the viewscreen.:: FCO: Nice work, but is that the best you've got?

FCO_KTracht says:
::stops the ship:: XO : Aye sir... ::self: and now that i just had started...::

Host CO_Rya says:
XO: Please play it outloud. ::Turns her attention to Kief.::

ACMO_Doylan says:
::pops her neck as she waits for the nurse to hand her another tool......currently, she is in surgery......::

XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
CO: It's coming from the Santa Maria ... an Antares class vessel about 1 light year from our present location. ::puts it on screen::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Turning away, she rubs her eyes and walks around the room aimlessly, the sounds of the water fall in the background.::

Keely_Calahan says:
::stands across from Dyani, assisting her in the surgery....she isn't quite strong enough again to do it all by herself::

Host CO_Rya says:
::Nods and turns her attention towards the screen::

Host MikeyS says:
ACTION: It's an automated distress call.. "This is the freighter Santa Maria, we require immediate assistance, we are located at..." (message goes on to reveal the coordinates)

Host CO_Rya says:
FCO: Take us there best speed.

XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::rises from his command chair and relieves the Ensign at Tactical::

ACMO_Doylan says:
::finishes up the simple reconstructive surgery and begins closing, glancing up at Keely::

Host CO_Rya says:
XO: Find out what you can about the Santa Maria please. ::Makes eye contact with him and then turns back around.::

XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
*CNS/CMO*: Be advised we are responding to a distress call from a nearby vessel. Have all medical personnel standing by to render assistance. Counselor to the bridge, please.

XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::pulls up information on the Santa Maria via the LCARS Database:: CO: Finding that information now, Captain.

Keely_Calahan says:
::nods:: ACMO: Not bad. I'd say that was still a few minutes under your record. ::smiles, then hears the comm and frowns:: ACMO: Finish up. i'll meet you back in sickbay.

CNS_Azhure says:
::Looks up, snapping out of her thoughts::  *XO*:  acknowledged.

FCO_KTracht says:
CO : Aye ma'am... Setting course ::fingers fly to console:: REady to engage at warp 6

ACMO_Doylan says:
::looks up alarmed and swallows, then nods::

Host CO_Rya says:
FCO: Let's go.

CNS_Azhure says:
::With a final glance out the window, she leaves the peace of her office and heads for the bridge.::

XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
CO: Long-range sensors indicate the Santa Maria is suffering from a power drain ... or perhaps a loss of power. Records indicate she was transporting duranium slugs to Starbase 384.

FCO_KTracht says:
::powers up the warp engine and engages:: CO :We are now at Warp 6... ETA...

Keely_Calahan says:
::strips off the mask and gloves, tossing them in to be recycled, then rids herself of hte surgical cover-up gown, revealing her uniform underneath....she slips on a lab coat as she walks back out into main sickbay::

Keely_Calahan says:
*XO*: We are ready, Commander. ::nods to the Nurses as they move about, and checks the status of the medics....good.....::

Host CO_Rya says:
FCO: Slow down a safe distance from them.

FCO_KTracht says:
CO : ... 22 hours... Increasing warp factor to 9.4 That will bring us there in 3 hours..

CNS_Azhure says:
::Stepping from the TL she walks toward the center area.::

FCO_KTracht says:
CO : Aye, ma'am...

CNS_Azhure says:
CO:  Where is Thomas?

Host CO_Rya says:
::Orders the ensign at science to begin long range scans and to send a probe once the Europa is within range.::

XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::scans the region of the Santa Maria:: CO: No signs of other vessels ... or spatial anomalies of any kind. Looks like open space.

Host CO_Rya says:
XO: Please send them a message letting them know we're on our way.

XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::hails the Santa Maria and advises them of their ETA, sets it to repeat every few minutes::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Listens as she takes her seat, not sure if it was good or bad Thomas was not around.::

Host CO_Rya says:
::Turns to Azhure.:: CNS: How are you doing today?

Host MikeyS says:
ACTION: The Europa receives no confirmation from the Santa Maria... as Spock would say, that means they are either unable to respond, or unwilling to respond.

CNS_Azhure says:
CO:  Distracted... not sure why.

CNS_Azhure says:
::Glances over at Kief, then back at the screen.::  CO:  How are things with you?

FCO_KTracht says:
::turns back to face the command crew::

Host CO_Rya says:
CNS: About our guest?

XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
CO: They are ... not responding to hails, Captain.

CNS_Azhure says:
::Smiles:: CO:  More to his predictions.

Host CO_Rya says:
::Nods:: XO: Thank you for trying.

FCO_KTracht says:
CNS : You can't be taking that... P'tagh seriously?

Host CO_Rya says:
CNS: Things are, ::shrugs:: okay.

CNS_Azhure says:
CO:  There is a reason we are not meant to know what is going on in the future.

FCO_KTracht says:
CNS: And you think he does?

Host CO_Rya says:
CNS: Because we'd avoid that which we didn't want to deal with?

CNS_Azhure says:
FCO:  I take many things seriously... even you.  ::Winks at him::

CNS_Azhure says:
FCO:  Yes, he does... but the future is very fluid.

FCO_KTracht says:
::grumphs:: CNS : I refuse to talk about this issue. ::turns back to the CONN::

CNS_Azhure says:
CO:  No, we worry until it happens.

CNS_Azhure says:
CO:  As things stand, we believe we have some control with our lives.  If we lived to the future, we would become slaves of it.

Host CO_Rya says:
::Glances at K'Tracht's back and then turns her gaze back to Azhure.:: CNS: Well that is certainly true, but after a point there is little we can do and worrying becomes simply a waste of time and energy.

XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::continues to scan the Santa Maria:: CO: As our range decrease I am able to get more detailed scans of the vessel. It appears the Santa Maria has sufferred some kind of structural collapse and is drifting sideways.

Host CO_Rya says:
CNS: True. ::Turns to listen to Kief.::

CNS_Azhure says:
CO:  But it is always at the back of our minds... and makes it just as wearing.

Keely_Calahan says:
::sighs and pops her neck, then stands up and walks over to a console, accessing bridge scans so she can look at (if there are any) scans of the crew's condition::

Host CO_Rya says:
XO: Any indications of what could have caused the collapse?

XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::shakes his head:: CO: Not at this range, Captain.

CNS_Azhure says:
::Pulls up data on the Santa Maria::

Host CO_Rya says:
XO: All right. Thank you for trying anyway. I supose it's pointless to speculate from this far away right now.

CNS_Azhure says:
::to no one specific.::  Crew compliment of 40...

ACMO_Doylan says:
::walks out and over to Keely:: Keely: What's that?

CNS_Azhure says:
::Continues::  Captained by Rena Dinnoo.

FCO_KTracht says:
CO : Ma'am.. I reccoment yellow alert once we drop from warp... If the Santa MAria was attacked, their attacker may still lurk by.

Host CO_Rya says:
::Let's her eyes turn to Azhure. She is right. Believed or not the predictions of death and destruction are impossible to completely put out of mind. Nods at K'Tracht.:: FCO: I agree. I also want a full scan of the area before we approach them.

Keely_Calahan says:
::doesn't look back at Dyani, but shifts her weight to one side so Dyani can read over her shoulder:: ACMO: It is quite beneficial to be able to tap into sensor relays and read through the information as the bridge crew does. It gives us....a bit of a heads-up.  ::looks at Dyani:: Something you will have to do, in the future, as CMO.

Host CO_Rya says:
FCO: Whatever is causing their difficulty could be problematic for us as well.

CNS_Azhure says:
::Looks up::  CO:  She is a veterna freighter captain of 12 years.

ACMO_Doylan says:
::rolls her eyes:: Keely: I'm not planning on it, Keely, unless you have something up your sleeve. ::narrows eyes:: What are you and Dr. Perez planning?

Host CO_Rya says:
CNS: Not likely to fall into a trap then.

CNS_Azhure says:
CO:  The odds are lower.

Host CO_Rya says:
CNS: What is their cargo?

Host CO_Rya says:
CNS: And their normal run?

XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::glances at the Captain:: CO: Duranium slugs bound for Starbase 384, Captain.

Keely_Calahan says:
::smirks:: ACMO: Anyways.....we should watch these carefully, so as soon as they are able to...if they are able to...obtain a reading of the crew's condition we can be prepared.

CNS_Azhure says:
::searching through the data bank::

ACMO_Doylan says:
::sighs and rolls her eyes, but does pay attention to what Keely is telling/showing her::

CNS_Azhure says:
Hmmm...  CO:  According to this, it looks like they do this run once a week.  However, the days are varried, no pattern.  ::Looks up::  Probably to throw off the unwanted.

Host CO_Rya says:
::Shakes her head slightly.:: XO: Right, thank you Kief.

Host CO_Rya says:
::Nods:: CNS: Where do they pick up their cargo?

CNS_Azhure says:
CO:  This run was the duranium scraps used for repairs and replacement of ship hulls.  They picked up this one at...  SB 514.

Host CO_Rya says:
::Turns to her own console to call up the location of SB 514.::

CNS_Azhure says:
CO:  According to this, they have carried weapons before, but when they do, they are escorted by starships.  None on this run are listed.

XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
CO/CNS: Duranium scraps are not a highly sought after commodity ... it's unlikely they fear any kind of piracy.

Host CO_Rya says:
::Nods in agreement with Kief::

CNS_Azhure says:
CO/XO:  All appearance of a normal run.

Host CO_Rya says:
XO/CNS: It may have nothing to do with another vessel.

CNS_Azhure says:
All:  We will learn soon enough.  FCO:  ETA?

Host MikeyS says:
TIME WARP: Time leaps forward.. people walk and talk faster beyond comprehension..  Suddenly time slows down. 2.5 hours have passed. The Europa is nearing transporter range - still no response to hails.

XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
CO: Shall I prepare an away team, Captain?

FCO_KTracht says:
CO : 5 minutes to impulse speed...

XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::scans the area for any further sign of spatial abnormalities::

Host CO_Rya says:
XO: Prepare one but don't head down to the transporters until we've completed the scans.

Host CO_Rya says:
FCO: Thank you Lt.

Host MikeyS says:
ACTION: Sensors indicate the Santa Maria's warp core was ejected, causing the ship to violently drop to impulse.

XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::scans the damaged section of the Santa Maria:: CO: Looks like they ejected their warp core... ::advises sickbay to prepare a medical team to transport to the other vessel::

Host MikeyS says:
ACTION: Sensors indicate 39 life signs.. some not so stable.

XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
CO: I'm detecting life signs ... 39 in totum.

CNS_Azhure says:
CO/XO:  I am picking up 39 life forms...  some very week.

ACMO_Doylan says:
::points and nods to Keely:: Keely: There. 39...not doing so hot...

CNS_Azhure says:
::Smiles at Kief::

FCO_KTracht says:
::drops the Europa from warp, at the edge of Transporter range:: CO : We've come out of warp, ma'am... Full stop?

Host CO_Rya says:
XO: Take a complement of medical personnel with you and stay in contact with us.

Host CO_Rya says:
FCO: Yes and yellow alert. Thank you.

XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::nods:: *CMO*: Report to transporter room one for away team duty. *Reilly*: Mister Reilly, you are needed in transporter room one. ::heads for the turbolift::

FCO_KTracht says:
::takes the ship to full stop, and watches as the Tactical officer on duty calls yellow alert::

Keely_Calahan says:
::steps forward again and sighs:: ACMO: Indeed. ::looks up:: That's you.

ACMO_Doylan says:
::eyes widen:: Keely: But, I don't....well, you should...but....::wimpers slightly and looks around::

XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::steps into the turbolift:: TL: Transporter Room one...

FCO_KTracht says:
CO : We're within visual range... ::puts the image on the viewscreen::

Keely_Calahan says:
::raises an eyebrow and looks at Dyani:: ACMO: Pull yourself together Dyani. You have done this before- now go!

XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::rides the turbolift, planning on what he intends to do once he's aboard the Santa Maria::

Host CO_Rya says:
::Looks at the Santa Maria and begins running through scenarios that could cause their warp core to drop in her head.::

ACMO_Doylan says:
::sighs and grabs a med kit, then moves toward the TL....so not wanting to do this.....but still doing it.....she uses the ride in the TL to calm herself and mentally prepare....she decides that now is a good time to pull on her intelligence training....and she masks her emotions/facial expression::

XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::arrives in transporter room one and goes to the equipment locker removing a tricorder and phaser::

Keely_Calahan says:
::shakes her head, then turns to the sickbay staff, helping them prep for casualties::

CNS_Azhure says:
::out of the blue.::  CO:  I think I would tie him to the ship if it were possible.

Host CO_Rya says:
FCO: Can you locate their warp core?

FCO_KTracht says:
::brings up the scan images:: CO : I can try...

Host Thomas_Reilly says:
::gets to the transporter room, not quite awake yet::

ACMO_Doylan says:
::steps out of the TL and walks toward the transporter room, head carried high and confidently....she is considerably more composed now.....on the outside...::

Host CO_Rya says:
CNS: Excuse me?

Host CO_Rya says:
CNS: Tie who to the ship?

ACMO_Doylan says:
::nods to the XO, and then looks to Reilly, with a short nod as well::

XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::sees Reilly walk through the door and tosses a phaser to him:: Reilly: Here you are...

ACMO_Doylan says:
::smirks, tempted to ask for a phaser, just to see what smurf-boy here would do....::

XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
::steps up on the transporter pad with the CMO:: CMO: Doctor Doylan ... glad you could join us. ::nods to the transporter technician standing behind the console::

Host Thomas_Reilly says:
::tries to catch it - fails, and it drops to the floor::
XO Kief: Commander, what's going on? And why do I need a phaser?

CNS_Azhure says:
CO:  Kief.

XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
Reilly: You're earning your keep ... away team duty. We're responding to a distress call for a duranium hauler.

ACMO_Doylan says:
::smirks...well, he hasn't been in intel long.....if he drops a phaser...this could get interesting....::

ACMO_Doylan says:
::looks at the XO:: XO: If he is uncomfortable with it, I am rated in weapons....and can carry one...

XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
TR Operator: Energize when ready, Mister Scottish.

ACMO_Doylan says:
::glances at Reilly::

Host CO_Rya says:
::Gets an image of the bolian XO hog tied to the yacht and grins.:: CNS: No, I don't think that would work and we can't stop living because of Reilly's predictions.

Host Thomas_Reilly says:
::picks it up, hoping he's holding it the right way, and gets on the pad::

FCO_KTracht says:
CO : Ma'am.. THe good news is i've located it, and have found a probable cause for them jettisoning it.. THe bad news is it's very close to going critical...

ACMO_Doylan says:
::looks back at Reilly, question in her eyes....::

XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
<TR Operator> XO: Aye, energizin'....

Host CO_Rya says:
FCO: Where is it and what have you found?

CNS_Azhure says:
CO:  Nope.... but still tempting.

ACMO_Doylan says:
::turns back around::

FCO_KTracht says:
CO : It's a few hundred thousand kilometers heading 180 mark 00...

FCO_KTracht says:
CO : And it's going critical.. THey might have jettisoned it to prevent the breach from destroying the ship.

Host CO_Rya says:
CNS: Tempting but in the end it is his decision. He has decided to continue to perform his duties and for better or worse this is one of them. ::Pats her arm in what she hopes is a reassuring mannar.::

Host Thomas_Reilly says:
::hates the feeling of his molecules being disassembled (no disassemble!) and reassembled::

XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
@::materializes aboard the transport vessel Santa Maria and withdraws his tricorder and scans briefly before pointing one way down the corridor:: All: The bridge is this way... ::starts heading that direction, with Reilly beside him::

Host CO_Rya says:
FCO: Keep track of it. Is the Santa Maria a safe distance from the blast radius?

FCO_KTracht says:
CO : Yes ma'am.. As are we...

Host CO_Rya says:
FCO: Good.

FCO_KTracht says:
CO : But I'm afraid the Santa Maria isn't going anywhere under her own power...

Host CO_Rya says:
FCO: I know, I just wanted to make sure they don't suffer further damage when it blows.

XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
@::passes hanging wiring and mangled pipe work and grimaces:: Reilly: I don't suppose you could tell us what happened here, could you?

ACMO_Doylan says:
@::nods and follows the XO, pulling out a medical tricorder, and ducks under a beam:: Reilly: Watch your head.

Host Thomas_Reilly says:
@::follows the XO::

Host CO_Rya says:
FCO: Please take through scans of the freighter to assess their damage.

FCO_KTracht says:
CO : We're probably gonna have to move in closer for that ma'am..

Host Thomas_Reilly says:
@XO Kief: Can't say I can Commander. I don't recall this place.

XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
@Reilly: I'll take that as a good sign... ::pushes past some dangling wiring::

Host CO_Rya says:
::Glances over at the SO and sees his thumbs up.:: FCO: Go ahead Lt. K'Tracht.

FCO_KTracht says:
::nods, and engages impulse engines:: FCO : 1/4 impulse...

XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
@::pushes forward towards the bridge:: CMO: Anything to add, Doctor?

ACMO_Doylan says:
@::grimaces and looks up at the XO:: XO: Let's just say I'm betting we will have our hands full.

XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
@::nods and comes to a hatch that is stenciled some alien script, heft the handles and levers the door open::

Host Thomas_Reilly says:
ACTION: The Away Team reaches the "bridge".. there are four people there, Captain Rena Dinnoo is on the floor, unconscious, while the one person uninjured is helping the other two injured crew members.

XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
@:;steps through onto the bridge:: Crewman: What happenned here? ::goes to their com panel and attempts to hail the Europa::

ACMO_Doylan says:
@::curses slightly under her breath and moves over to the Captain:: Crewmember: I am a doctor...I need to look at her.

Host CO_Rya says:
CNS: How long would it take to make enough space for the freighter's crew?

XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
@COM: Europa: This is Kiefaire`zar, we've gained access to the bridge and are rendering assistance to the injured crewmembers.

ACMO_Doylan says:
@::doesn't care whether the crewman lets her or not, she merely kneels down and begins scanning the Captain::

Host CO_Rya says:
COM: XO: Commander how serious are their injuries? Do you need more medics beamed over or do you need us to start beaming crew over here?

FCO_KTracht says:
::comes to a full stop, as soon as he enters SRS range, and starts intensive scans on the Santa MAria::

CNS_Azhure says:
CO:  Hmmm... ::Checks to see what is located in the cargo bay::  About 20 min... less with more hands.

ACMO_Doylan says:
@::shakes hair out of her face:: XO: I need a medical team beamed over here to look for injured!

XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
@COM: CO: Let me get an assessment of the situation and I will let you know. Kiefaire`zar out. ::walks over to the crewman:: Crewman: Are you hearing me, Crewman?

CNS_Azhure says:
::Looks up::  CO:  In cargo bay 2.

ACMO_Doylan says:
@XO: They will handle the transportation of seriously injured crewmembers.

Host CO_Rya says:
CNS: Okay. We'll hold off for now then.

Host Thomas_Reilly says:
@<Crewman Dacks> XO Kiefaire'zar: Commander! Thank goodness you're here. Our incoming comms are down, we didn't know if anyone heard our distress call.

Host CO_Rya says:
CNS: At least until we know how many are going to be filling up sickbay.

Host Thomas_Reilly says:
@Doylan: How can I help doctor?

XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
@::looks the crewman up and down:: Dacks: What happenned here?

CNS_Azhure says:
::Nods::  CO:  Shall I prepare quarters?

ACMO_Doylan says:
@::glances up, then looks back down:: Reilly: Um...do you have any medical training at all?

ACMO_Doylan says:
@::continues working on the Captain::

Host CO_Rya says:
::Gnaws on her inner lip for a moment.:: CNS: Not until we get that assesment back from Kief.

Host CO_Rya says:
CNS: I don't want you wasting your time making the wrong preparations.

Host Thomas_Reilly says:
<Crewman Dacks> XO Kief: Sir, from what I've been able to find out from here is that approximately 3 hours ago, our warp core ejected itself.

Host CO_Rya says:
FCO: How are the scans coming Lt. K'Tracht?

XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
@::looks at the crewman disbeilivingly:: Dacks: And that caused all these injuries?

Host Thomas_Reilly says:
@<Crewman Dacks> XO Kief: Yes sir..

ACMO_Doylan says:
@::looks at the XO and sighs....she needs transportation, not conversation.....::

XO_Kiefaire`zar says:
@Dacks: Very well ... could you assist my Chief Medical Officer with the injured.  *CO*: Captain, I believe we can begin transporting the injured parties. I'd also like to bring an engineering team over to go over the ships warp core ejections system ... apparently they had a systems malfunction.

Host Thomas_Reilly says:
