<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>

FCO_Voraye says:
::At the helm, monitoring patrol route::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::on the bridge in the command chair:: CTO: Anything out there?

CEO_McGregor says:
::In his office going over some data from the SB bombing::

CTO_Hexx says:
::At Tactical, referencing the library computers for information on Adams.::

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: Ah'm sure there is cap'n, however, if you mean any Breen vessels...::Checks the scanners.::

CMO_Calahan says:
::in Sickbay, working with her medical student on procedural events::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::smiles at Hexx:: CTO: Yes, please.

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: Nope.  Er, Nope 'sir'.

FCO_Voraye says:
::Begins humming softly, but audibly::

Host Cmdr_Adams says:
::In her quarters getting everything ready::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: Very good. Thank you. ::turns to Voraye:: FCO: And you? How's things from your station?

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::smiles a bit amused wondering what tune he was humming::

Host Cmdr_Adams says:
*CO*: Captain Llewellyn, have you arranged for a location for me to begin my interviews?

FCO_Voraye says:
::Jolted out of musical reverie:: CO: We are still on the patrol route, no problems here.

CEO_McGregor says:
::Taps his com badge::*Doylan*: McGregor to Doylan

CMO_Calahan says:
<MO_Doylan> ::taps combadge with a smile:: *McGregor*: Doylan here....

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*Adams*: Yes... the Observation lounge is all yours Commander Adams. Who are you looking to speak to first? ::expects it to be herself::

FCO_Voraye says:
::Resumes humming, "Rhapsody in Blue", whistles the high notes on occasion::

CEO_McGregor says:
*Doylan*: Free for dinner?

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: Captain?  I have some information for you on our guest.

Host Cmdr_Adams says:
*CO*: I will interview the "key" witnesses last Captain, which I assume are yourself and your Security officer.  I will begin with the Chief Medical Officer.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::nods:: FCO: Good to hear it. Carry on. ::smiles, then hears Hexx::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::gets out of her chair as she hears Adams:: *Adams*: Oh... :;sounds momentarily surprised::  very good. I'll get Doctor Calahan for you.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::walks over to Hexx:: CTO: Tell me in just a moment. ::points at her badge::

CMO_Calahan says:
<MO_Doylan>*McGregor*: Hm.....what did you have in mind?

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CMO*: Please report to the Observation Lounge for an interview with Commander Adams.

Host Cmdr_Adams says:
::Steps out of her quarters and strolls down to the Observation Lounge::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*Adams*: I just called her to meet up with you in the Observation Lounge... is there anything else I can do for you?

Host Cmdr_Adams says:
*CO*: Not right now Captain, thank you.

CMO_Calahan says:
::groans and curses to herself in Irish....she shakes her head at the questioning eyes of the med student and motions for Julia to take over instruction:: *CO*: Do I have to be nice, Captain? ::she couldn't resist asking...it was out there....she had to....she begins walking out of sickbay, but stops to grab a cappuccino for good measure::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*Adams*: Very good. Llewellyn out.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CMO*: Yes... you have to be nice... ::laughs::

CMO_Calahan says:
*CO*: You just enjoy taking all the fun out of my day. ::sighs:: Very well. Calahan out.

Host Cmdr_Adams says:
Action: A small disturbance is detected within the Black Cluster.  It could be a ship, or it could be nothing at all.

CEO_McGregor says:
*Doylan*: A little cafe in Paris perhaps

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::chuckles at what Keely said:: CTO: So... what have you on Adams?

CTO_Hexx says:
::A small beep returns his attention to the scanners.::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::hears the beep and looks also::

CTO_Hexx says:
:: Looks at the readings::  CO: Oh, she's a member of Federation Internal Security, her documents check out alright.  Notations say she's all business, guess they don't issue them boys a sense of humor with their badges.  ::Smirks::

CMO_Calahan says:
<MO_Doylan> ::smiles:: *CEO*: Mmm...yes, definitely free. Though, I am on call....

CMO_Calahan says:
::steps into the TL:: TL: Observation Lounge.

Host Cmdr_Adams says:
::Enters the Observation Lounge and grabs herself a cup of coffee, waiting for the CMO::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::laughs:: CTO: I suppose they do not. ::smirks::

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: We got a small disturbance out there.  Not sure what it is....

CMO_Calahan says:
::sips her cappuccino and sighs before she steps out and walks the short distance to the Observation Lounge....then walks inside:: Adams: I am Lieutenant Calahan, CMO.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: Hm... a disturbance? Well... we are on patrol...  we should probably investigate. Get me what you can on it.... and send the coordinates to Mister Voraye.

CEO_McGregor says:
*Doylan*: As am I. However when have we gotten together that something hasn’t happened?

Host Cmdr_Adams says:
::Looks up:: CMO: Ahhh Lt, good to meet you.  Would you sit down please.

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: Aye sir.

CMO_Calahan says:
::blinks, pauses, then sips her cappuccino as she slides into a chair as requested::

CMO_Calahan says:
<MO_Doylan> ::smiles:: *CEO*: Mm-hm....so when should I meet you and where?

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::represses a small shudder from a remembrance of almost three years ago when she was last in the black cluster nebula::

CTO_Hexx says:
::Figures out the coordinates and sends them to Flight Control::  FCO: Plug these in please Mr. Voraye.  We might be goin' for a little cruise.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
FCO: Where is the disturbance in the nebula? How far away is it?

Host Cmdr_Adams says:
CMO: Lt. Calahan... I have read your reports, the work you put in on the station was commendable.  I would like to ask you a few questions though....

CTO_Hexx says:
::Consults with Science to determine the cause of the disturbance::

FCO_Voraye says:
CTO: Aye. ::Receives coordinates and begins plotting distance and time:: CO: I'll have that in a second, ma'am.

CMO_Calahan says:
::sips her cappuccino and nods....'nothing is stopping you'....a thought to herself, of course.....::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::nods at Voraye and waits::

Host Cmdr_Adams says:
Action: The Disturbance seems to be moving along at about one tenth impulse through the cluster.  Readings are still indeterminate.

CEO_McGregor says:
*Doylan*: Holo-suite 3 at 2100 hrs

Host Cmdr_Adams says:
CMO: First of all, where were you when the initial explosion took place?

FCO_Voraye says:
CO: Not that deep into the nebula, about 12 minutes at full impulse.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
FCO: Plot a course to meet the disturbance outside the nebula.

CMO_Calahan says:
::sighs and thinks back:: Adams: Oh.....I was in the Europa's sickbay going over procedures with newly arrived staff....and I had just finished a routine surgery.

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: Cap'n, that disturbance is moving.  Slowly, but moving.  There's a definite wake in the nebula gasses.

FCO_Voraye says:
CO: Plotting a course, at present speed we will take twenty minutes so as not to alert the disturbance to our presence. Ready to engage on your command.

CEO_McGregor says:
::Walks out of his office towards the Main Engineering console::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
FCO: Engage.

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: Course is along the edge of the cluster.  Recommend we watch it and see if it follows the contour of the clouds.  Might be an asteroid...might not.

FCO_Voraye says:
::Presses "Engage":: CO: Aye, engaging.

Host Cmdr_Adams says:
CMO: Had you been on the station say, in the last 12 hours?

CMO_Calahan says:
Adams: I hadn't yet set foot on the station.

Host Cmdr_Adams says:
CMO: Very well.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: Good. We will go over there while we keep an eye on it....

CMO_Calahan says:
<MO_Doylan>*CEO*: Sounds good to me. ::pauses with a smile:: Now I just have to occupy myself until then.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::thinks about the xenophobic asteroid a moment and figures it is not one of those::

CTO_Hexx says:
::Sees they are heading off to investigate::...Self: "Or, we could mosey on over there I guess."

FCO_Voraye says:
::Begins drumming major scale cadences on the top of the panel with fingers::

CEO_McGregor says:
*Doylan*: I think you'll manage....::Chuckles::

Host Cmdr_Adams says:
CMO: How well did you know Admiral Edwards?

CEO_McGregor says:
::Notices a slight fluctuation in the deflector dish emissions::

CEO_McGregor says:
::Tries to compensate::

CMO_Calahan says:
::tilts her head:: Adams: Oh, not terribly well. I knew of him mostly....met him once, but that was a brief encounter and not more than a 'Good evening Admiral'.

CMO_Calahan says:
<MO_Doylan> *McGregor*: Yes, I suppose so...see you soon. Doylan out.

Host Cmdr_Adams says:
CMO: I see, so there was no personal relationship of any kind?

CMO_Calahan says:
::raises an eyebrow, tempted to respond with what first came to mind:: Adams: No. None whatsoever.

Host Cmdr_Adams says:
::Looks at the CMO for a moment, feeling that she is getting agitated:: CMO: I see.... and what was your response after the explosion?

CTO_Hexx says:
::Continues to run passive scans on the disturbance::

CMO_Calahan says:
::sighs:: Adams: My initial response was a string of curse words in Irish Gaelic I am sure....but then I moved to a console as I contacted the Bridge for a status report. At the console, I tried to determine what exactly had happened via our systems and contacts on the station.

CEO_McGregor says:
::Notices the fluctuation increasing in the deflector dish emission patterns::

CEO_McGregor says:
*CO*: Engineering to the Captain

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CEO*:  Llewellyn here, Go ahead....

Host Cmdr_Adams says:
CMO: I know situations like these can be confusing, and it is hard to think, but did any of the casualties you helped with say or do anything unusual... anything at all?

CEO_McGregor says:
*CO*: Captain I have a fluctuation in the deflector dish emissions.

FCO_Voraye says:
::Draws self out of silent musical cadences to check on ETA to "Disturbance"::

CEO_McGregor says:
*CO*: I have compensated twice and the fluctuation returns

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CEO*: A fluctuation? What kind of fluctuation? Can it be... ::hears his second comm:: What do you recommend, Chief?

CEO_McGregor says:
*CO*: Recommend we reduce speed and see if that helps

CMO_Calahan says:
::frowns:: Adams: I'm afraid you'll have to be more specific Commander.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::hears the CEO:: FCO: What is our present speed?

CEO_McGregor says:
*CO* Are we close to a power emanating source?

FCO_Voraye says:
::Begins thinking to self, "I don't particularly care for the name 'Disturbance'. I'm going to re-name the disturbance.....'Eckert'"::

FCO_Voraye says:
CO: 1/2 impulse.

Host Cmdr_Adams says:
::Makes a few notes on her PADD:: CMO: I'm sorry Lt. but I was just hoping someone might have said something that would help me in this investigation...  Is there anything you can think of?

CTO_Hexx says:
::Watches to see if the "thing" follows the contours of the cloud patterns.::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CEO*: Not that I know of... but we are near the nebula... would that have something to do with it? ::hears the FCO and nods at him:: We are currently going at 1/2 impulse.... I would hope the deflector dish would work at that speed....

CMO_Calahan says:
::tilts her head and sips her cappuccino as she thinks back::

CEO_McGregor says:
*CO*: It's acting like a sort of feedback or causality disturbance to the dish, Not from within the ship

CMO_Calahan says:
Adams: No. Most of the patients I worked on were unconscious, delusional or dead.

CEO_McGregor says:
*CO*: It's exterior

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::raises an eyebrow, mouths 'feedback causality disturbance?':: CTO: Is the object mirroring our movements?

Host Cmdr_Adams says:
CMO: I understand... I think that is all I need for the moment Doctor.  thank you for your time.

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: Let me check.  I'll compare it's relative distance and bearing with our movements.::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CEO*: Understood... we are detecting a disturbance in the nebula.... it might be from that.... we are investigating it right now.... would you like to take a look at the sensor feed?

CMO_Calahan says:
::nods, then stands and walks out of the room....well...they both lived. so far so good...she walks to the bridge, just to check in for good measure::

CEO_McGregor says:
*CO*: I would indeed Captain

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::looks up to see Calahan arrive:: ~~~CMO: How did everything go?~~~

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CEO*: Please do so. ::smiles::

Host Cmdr_Adams says:
::Begins making notes in her PADD, waiting to call her next witness::

CMO_Calahan says:
::nods to Heather, then walks toward the first location of a med kit...she'd been needing to inventory the contents anyways, and she may as well do it while she was up here...she grinned mentally:: ~~~CO: Well, she is still alive, no wounds. I promise. ~~~

CEO_McGregor says:
::Walks over to his monitor and turns it on::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
~~~CMO: Good. What was she interested in knowing about... if you do not mind my asking... the questions she asked and so forth...~~~

CTO_Hexx says:
::Glances at the CMO as she walks around the bridge, then at the CO then back to the scanners.::

CMO_Calahan says:
::raises an eyebrow slightly and moves to another med kit after a cappuccino sip:: ~~~CO: Well, she seemed to think that maybe one of the patients I worked on may have said something; but seeing as how none of mine were coherent enough to speak...not likely. She also asked if I had a personal relationship with Edwards. Which was highly amusing...~~~

CEO_McGregor says:
*CTO*: Did ya see that ?

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::laughs softly::

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: Ma'am.  It appears more and more to be a ship out there.  I have detected minor course corrections like it is tryin' to use the nebula as cover.  And, from what I kin tell.  They ain't watchin'

FCO_Voraye says:
::Resumes humming; a random, unnamable tune::

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: their back trail.  I don't think they know we're here.

CTO_Hexx says:
*CEO*: Did I see what?

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CTO*: Good... keep observing. Let me know if anything changes.,

CEO_McGregor says:
*CTO*: The ripple at 137 mark 6,It is cycling at 13 milliseconds

CTO_Hexx says:
*CEO*: Ah am supposin' that that is signifigant to ya.  However, ah have no idea what yer talkin' about.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CEO*: What kind of danger are we in if the deflector dish continues to have trouble? What kind of fixes can you think of... besides reducing speed... will skirting further away from the edge of the nebula help? Or is the source of the problem the ship we are monitoring?

CEO_McGregor says:
*CO* I would suggest trying to raise the forward shields, low yield at first. I will reconfigure the deflector dish output..

CEO_McGregor says:
*CO* If the dish fails we could be in for a bumpy ride at best, hull damage at worst

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CTO*: Do you think that if we raise the shields.... ::grimaces as the CEO's words come through her badge... hull damage... ugh:: the other ship would detect us?

CEO_McGregor says:
*CTO*: Ripple movements within a nebula are of interest to me that says there is an instability within its matrix

CTO_Hexx says:
*CEO*: Oh.  ::Thinks the CEO really needs a more exciting hobby, like watching paint dry.::

CEO_McGregor says:
*CTO*: Last time I saw one of those I was on the Vesuvius and it sucked us in and we were lost in another dimension for a couple of weeks

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::hears some of the conversation between the CTO and the CEO, Thinks: No getting sucked in alternate dimensions... I have a wedding to be at!:: 

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: Unknown ma'am.  However, it will increase our electronic signature.  a'course, since they are inside the nebula, their sensors shouldn't be working too well anyway.  We might try using the tractor beam as a back-up deflector.

CEO_McGregor says:
*CTO* Get my meanin?

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: Yes... they are in the nebula... as it is I was thinking of going to Yellow alert... your thoughts?

CTO_Hexx says:
*CEO*: Yep.

Host Cmdr_Adams says:
*CO*: Captain, could you have Ensign Voraye report for his debrief please?

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
FCO: Get your replacement and report to the Observation Lounge to speak with Commander Adams about what happened at the Starbase.

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: ::Shrugs::  Don't know cap'n.  I mean, even if it is a ship, doesn't mean they're doin' anything wrong.  I 'spose the thing ta do is hail 'em and see what they do.

FCO_Voraye says:
CO: Aye. ::Secures patrol route, logs off station, stands up and walks towards the observation lounge::

Host Cmdr_Adams says:
Action: Sensors begin to show a small ship, about the size of a runabout.

CTO_Hexx says:
FCO: Hell of a time for a coffee break.  ::Smiles::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::watches a guy come from what seems like nowhere and sits at the FCO station:: FCO: Very good....

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: Well... yes... I suppose you have a point....

FCO_Voraye says:
::Grins at CO and CTO, then discreetly enters Observation lounge thinking to self, "Here goes nothing."::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*Adams*: Mister Voraye is on his way to you.

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: Cap'n, looks like a small ship.  Checking configuration now and zooming in on magnification.

Host Cmdr_Adams says:
*CO*: Very well.
