U.S.S. Europa
NCC-65040
Stardate 10408.01
Official Mission Transcript

Due to the Subspace Disturbances around the Science Outpost, the Europa has moved out of the affected space.

Host Frank_SM says:
<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>

EO_Calma says:
::sits in Main Engineering, trying to sort through sensor readings and station logs, trying to find the cause of this synaptic degradation::

CNS_Pecic says:
::walks over to nurse Anita::

CTO_Lingn says:
::on the bridge at tactical trying to configure the shields to block out the subspace disturbances::

CNS_Pecic says:
Nurse : How are the CEO ,OPS and cadet Chitwa?

Host CO_Farrel says:
::On the bridge, and frowns as she is handed a report by a passing ensign.  The CEO, CIV, and OPS have been affected by the condition and sedated.::

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Taps armrest::  *EO* Engineering, have we been able to successfully set up a data-link between us and the research station?

CNS_Pecic says:
::goes to medical console and looks over information::

CTO_Lingn says:
CO: I have ordered the computer to restrict phaser settings to stun. If one of my men goes crazy I want to prevent casualties.

EO_Calma says:
*CO*: Yes we have; I'm looking at the station's sensor logs right now.

Host CO_Farrel says:
*EO* Good work... ::Tries to put a face to the new voice:: Lt. Calma, isn't it?

Host CO_Farrel says:
::nods:: CTO: A wise precaution.

EO_Calma says:
*CO*: Right on the money. I'm impressed, I don't think we've been properly introduced. Spent so much time over the last couple of days trying to settle in..

CNS_Pecic says:
::goes over to Chitwa::

Host CO_Farrel says:
*EO* Well keep up the good work, learn all you can from the station’s log about what caused this accident, and report back me.

CNS_Pecic says:
::takes tricorder readings on her::

EO_Calma says:
*CO* Will do. Calma out. ::scans back through the station logs to the time period leading up to and just after the accident::

CTO_Lingn says:
CO: Ma'am, I configured the shields the best I could. There is only one way to see if this works.

CNS_Pecic says:
::walks over to CEO takes more readings::

EO_Calma says:
::finds what appears to be the cause:: Self: Hmmm... *CO*: Captain, I think I've discovered what's causing the synaptic degradation.

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Nods::  CTO:  Let's hope we don't have to find out...

CNS_Pecic says:
::goes to original station member first brought back, takes readings::

Host CO_Farrel says:
*EO* Already? Let's hear it.

CTO_Lingn says:
CO: My research tells me one thing. We can seal the subspace disturbances by exploding the station's warp core power source.

CNS_Pecic says:
CO: I have detected the neural lose in those first brought back  is less than that of the crew who have recently been exposed.

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Considers Lingn's suggestion, and sighs.::  CTO: I had hoped to salvage the station...but it doesn't look like that will be possible.  How do you recommend we go about exploding the warp core?

EO_Calma says:
*CO*: Well, they were trying to modify a warp drive. It looks like they wanted to increase the efficiency by pushing the engine--and the station--deeper into subspace, but it had the effect of rippling back into normal space, damaging any neural cells too close to it. Certainly explains why everyone who's been exposed has gone or is going insane.

CNS_Pecic says:
CO: Leading me to believe that as time and distance away from exposure happen neural loss is stopped and possibly regenerating?

Host CO_Farrel says:
*EO* Fascinating... a subspace drive that bleeded over into normal space...

Host CO_Farrel says:
*CNS* So you believe the effects of the synaptic degradation will eventually wear off?

EO_Calma says:
*CO*: The records also indicate that they tried to correct the damage by detonating the warp core but it only sped up the damage. Looks like we have to put a crew on the station and shut down the core.

Host CO_Farrel says:
*EO* Wait, so did they try shutting down the core, or just detonating it?

CTO_Lingn says:
CO: I can cause a warp breach through the link. Lowering the magnetic containment  fields will do what we want. Or we can go a  much quicker route. Explosives.

EO_Calma says:
*CO*: Imagine having your neurons jump in and out of subspace at warp speed. They tried detonating it; didn't work. They were probably so far gone by that point that it never occurred to them to just shut it down.

CNS_Pecic says:
*CO*: I don't know maybe to a degree in some ,none or all of those infected.

Host CO_Farrel says:
CTO: Would the detonation of the core seal the subspace fields, and destroy any protomatter that remains on the station?

Host CO_Farrel says:
*EO* I see, thank you.  Perhaps we can destroy it safely from this distance?

CTO_Lingn says:
CO: My time on the Luna as CEO tells me it will.

EO_Calma says:
*CO*: Well, the presence of the protomatter worries me, but yeah, I think I can reinforce the shields to protect us.

Host CO_Farrel says:
CTO: Access the station's main computer, and initiate a warp core breech.  

CTO_Lingn says:
CO: Aye ma'am. ::his fingers fly over his console as he puts his plan into motion::

CTO_Lingn says:
CO: For safety, ::pausing:: We should increase our speed.

Host CO_Farrel says:
CTO: Very well.  FCO: Helmsman, move us away, full impulse

CNS_Pecic says:
::tries to make patients as comfortable as possible::

EO_Calma says:
::goes over to a power distribution readout and takes some power from nonessentials and increases the output of the shield grids::

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Summons the CPO over:: Chief, make a note in the ship's log, as of 17 hundred and 33 hours I am destroying Research station 927 in order to contain the subspace fields and safely destroy any remaining protomatter.

CNS_Pecic says:
:: goes to Chitwa with a water bottle::

CNS_Pecic says:
::filled with milk::

CTO_Lingn says:
::hits the button to engage the warp core breach::

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Taps control:: ALL: Switching to aft view.  ::watches the little dot that is the research station, and waits for the inevitable big boom.::

CNS_Pecic says:
::goes over to Dr. Jacobs::

EO_Calma says:
::out of curiosity, opens his own view screen to the aft view, waiting to see what happens::

CTO_Lingn says:
::watches with interest, seeing his first warp core explosion::

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The Warp Core of Science Outpost 927 overloads and detonates.  The Fireworks show is outstanding.

Host CO_Farrel says:
Oohh...  ::Blinks against the detonations.::

CTO_Lingn says:
Awww :: watches in awe::

EO_Calma says:
::checks sensors for the presence of remaining protomatter::

CNS_Pecic says:
:: heads to ships console in sickbay to monitor for anything from detonation::

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Watches the last few fireballs split off...and awaits the sensor scans.::

CTO_Lingn says:
CO: Everything seems like it went according to plan. Now all we have to do is fix our medical problems.

EO_Calma says:
::finds no remaining protomatter:: Self: Impressive. *CO*: Looks like I had nothing to worry about, Captain. The protomatter's gone.

Host CO_Farrel says:
CTO/*EO* Good to hear.

Host CO_Farrel says:
CTO: Launch a warning buoy, warning any ships to not enter this region of space.  Just to be safe...

CTO_Lingn says:
CO: Yes Ma'am. I am glad we are almost finished with this mission. ::launches the Buoy::

CNS_Pecic says:
::goes to OPS with some water::

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Sits back, and wonders if it is really all over.  She pauses for a moment, that last hesitation before departing for good, and just watches the viewer.::

CTO_Lingn says:
::watches the Captain with interest::

CNS_Pecic says:
Nurse Anita: Could you show me some of sickbays features it's been very busy since I arrived and I have yet to have a look around.

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Sees nothing but spinning debris.:: FCO: Alright, set a course for home base, Starbase 384.  Warp 6.  Engage.

CNS_Pecic says:
Nurse Anita: Let's go look out a view port and see the Fireworks.

CTO_Lingn says:
CO: Should we go check on the others?

CNS_Pecic says:
::wonders how the poor souls in sickbay will recover::

Host CO_Farrel says:
<DutyFCO> ::Engages warp::

CNS_Pecic says:
::walks with Anita and looks out view port at the show::

Host CO_Farrel says:
::fiddles with the arm controls for a moment, then looks up.:: CTO: Yes...  ::Stands and sighs:: we should...

EO_Calma says:
::watches the warp core come to life as the ship jumps to warp, then relaxes the shield grid:: Self: Well, that was exciting. ::sits back in his chair::

CTO_Lingn says:
::nods at the CO:: CO: This is the only thing I hate being pitted up against. Medical Emergencies, it makes me feel helpless.

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Summons a lift and looks distant:: CTO: Yes... ::Enters and waits for the CTO, frowning slightly.::

CTO_Lingn says:
::enters the lift and notices the CO looking distant:: CO: Don't worry, we will come through.

Host CO_Farrel says:
::enters in the deck, and looks to the CTO:: CTO: I'm worried about that.  The other officers... knew the risk associated with an away mission.  But Cadet Chitwa... I'm not sure if I will forgive myself if she has permanent damage.  ::frowns:: It was my idea for her to go on this mission...

CNS_Pecic says:
CO: Chitwa’s levels seem to be coming down.

CTO_Lingn says:
CO: There was no way you could have known. We have to just as my human roommates said during my academy days said. "Keep on Trucking."

CTO_Lingn says:
CO: She knew the risks. After all she is prone to danger on a Starship just as we are.

CNS_Pecic says:
ALL: I'm sure she'll recover. Caitian have nine lives don't they?

EO_Calma says:
::looks around:: ENG crew: Just for kicks, before we get back to the Starbase, how about we run a shipwide Level 3 diagnostic, hmm? Just to make everything's tip-top.

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Purses her lips slightly, and the corner of her lip starts to turn into a smile.::  CTO: I'm not sure exactly what a truck is, but I think I get the meaning..
