Host Frank_SM says:
The USS Europa has somehow become lost in a Galaxy quite foreign to them.  While they have met a couple of races, they have yet to call any of them "friends".

<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>
CO_Durron says:
::sitting in the big chair with his arms crossed::
XO_Odan says:
CO: Captain, I think the star chart comparison would be easier to do in Astrometrics. If you don't need me on the bridge...
Host Thrag says:
@COM: Europa: CO: Did you receive the charts we sent to you?
CO_Durron says:
XO: Go ahead.
XO_Odan says:
::nods as she forwards the star charts to astrometrics and heads for the TL::
CO_Durron says:
COM: Sierra-Two: Thrag: Charts received, we are beginning analysis now.  What can you tell me about this area?  Any other unexplained appearances?
CNS_Chitwa says:
::blinks and looks at the other alien on the viewscreen::
Host Thrag says:
@COM: Europa: CO: Nothing like you, if that's what you're asking.
CO_Durron says:
::looks at Thrag on the viewscreen:: COM: Sierra-Two: Thrag: What other species are in this area?
XO_Odan says:
TL: Deck 9
XO_Odan says:
::as the TL is on its way, Odan closes her eyes and takes a few deep breathes trying to push away the headache that was created by making all those animations and images...no time to go to sick bay::
Host Frank_SM says:
@COM: Europa: CO: The are a lot of different ships in this area Captain.  Many vessels travel this route, many of them not as friendly as we are.
XO_Odan says:
::exits the TL and walks a few meters in a corridor and enters the labs::
CO_Durron says:
::nods:: COM: Sierra-Two: Thrag: But you appear to be acting with some authority here.  What planets dose this route connect?
XO_Odan says:
Jensen: Lt Jensen, received the star charts I forwarded to you a few minutes ago?
XO_Odan says:
<Jensen>XO: Yes, Ma'am! I've taken the liberty to upload them on the right side of the screen so we can start a comparison on the left.
XO_Odan says:
Jensen: Good idea. Now, let's try to find where we are.
XO_Odan says:
Computer: Compare the new star chart to all charts in the database. Look for similarities.
Host Frank_SM says:
@COM: Europa: CO: No, I'm just someone trying to make a living in a hard universe.  If you study our starcharts though, you'll find that this is about the only safe route through here.  There's a lot of subspace damage around us...
CO_Durron says:
::raises an eyebrow:: @COM: Sierra-Two: Thrag: It was a subspace disturbance that pulled us from our galaxy.  What is causing the damage here?
CNS_Chitwa says:
::takes notes as the two talk::
Host Frank_SM says:
@COM: Europa: There was a war here, over a thousand years ago.  The powerful weapons that were used has permanently scarred this region... I'm no history buff though, couldn't even tell you who was fighting, only that they are gone now.
XO_Odan says:
Jensen: While the computer works on the comparison, let's study that chart to see if we can find a route to use if need be.
XO_Odan says:
<Jensen>XO: Looking at it, they haven't charted much territory.
CO_Durron says:
::nods:: COM: Sierra-Two: Thrag: Have you picked up any increased activity around the damage lately?  anything change within the last say year?
XO_Odan says:
Jensen: I think those areas are those we should be avoiding. ::points to a few sections::
XO_Odan says:
<Jensen>XO: There doesn't seem to be any habitable planets. It's like a ghost town.
XO_Odan says:
Jensen: A ghost town?
Host Frank_SM says:
@COM: Europa: Well according to everyone else, things have only gotten worse over the last thousand years.  I do know personally that the subspace damaged area seem to drift, they get smaller and bigger.  Right now this is the only safe route through this area.  Many ships have been lost trying to find a quicker way through here.
XO_Odan says:
<Jensen>XO: Sorry. I forget sometimes that people don't know everything that happened on Earth! My bad. A ghost town was the term used for a city that was abandoned and not inhabited anymore. I know this area is not habitable but there seems to be much going on... so it almost feels like it was inhabited in some way and the buildings were left.
XO_Odan says:
Jensen: Indeed there seems to be a lot of activity in this area for a space that isn't inhabited.
CO_Durron says:
::nods than looks at his Chrono:: COM: Sierra-Two: Thrag: I've got a meeting with my senior officers in a few minutes but I would like to continue this conversation with you.  Would you consider beaming over and talking face to face?
XO_Odan says:
*CO*: Odan to Capt Durron.
Host Frank_SM says:
@COM: Europa: CO: Sorry I can't stay and chat with you longer Captain, but I've got some cargo to pick up and have to get underway.
CO_Durron says:
COM: Sierra-Two: Thrag: I understand.  Sorry to detain you this long,  are there any safe ports you can recommend?
CO_Durron says:
*XO* Can it wait until the meeting?
Host Frank_SM says:
@COM: Europa: CO: Safe?  Depends on your meaning... None that I would recommend.
XO_Odan says:
*CO*: Oh, sorry, yes sir.
XO_Odan says:
Jensen: Send the safe route to the helm and then try to get the computer to be a little faster with that comparison.
CNS_Chitwa says:
::gives a nervous look to the CO::
CO_Durron says:
::nods:: COM: Sierra-Two: Thrag: Well safe travels and good profits to you Captain, Europa Out.
XO_Odan says:
<Jensen>XO: Aye, Cmdr. I'll contact you with the results if they are available before you come back here.
XO_Odan says:
Jensen: Thanks! ::heads out::
Host Frank_SM says:
Action: With the farewells said, Sierra Two turns and heads out at Warp 3, following the same general path Sierra One took out of the region.
XO_Odan says:
::enters the TL:: TL: Bridge!
CO_Durron says:
::stands up:: CNS: Time to head for the Observation Lounge.
CNS_Chitwa says:
::nods:: CO: Yes sirr. ::tucks her PADD into her pocket ::
CO_Durron says:
DTO: You have the bridge, hold position and call me if anything happens.
CO_Durron says:
::starts for the OBS lounge::
CO_Durron says:
<DTO_Fuller> CO: Yes sir, thank you sir.
CNS_Chitwa says:
::trots after the CO::
CO_Durron says:
::arrives in the Observation Lounge and sits in the chair at the head of the table:: CNS: Well what do you think about Thrag?
XO_Odan says:
::exits the TL and walks towards OL and enters::
XO_Odan says:
::nods at everyone and sits::
CNS_Chitwa says:
CO: Well it is nice to be able to have a converrrsation with someone out herrre
CO_Durron says:
CNS: That is true...anything else about him strike you?
XO_Odan says:
ALL: You are talking about the captain of that ship we got in contact with?
CNS_Chitwa says:
CO: It seems that the arrrea that we arrre in is not exactly the good side of this galaxy.
CO_Durron says:
::nods affirmatively at the XO:: XO: Anything strike you about him?
XO_Odan says:
CO: I'm sorry I have nothing to comment on him. I decided to focus on my tasks since you had appointed the CNS to gather info and impressions about him.
XO_Odan says:
CO: I do have info about the star charts though.
CO_Durron says:
XO: Ok, Talk to me about the star charts than.
XO_Odan says:
::gets up and taps on a few keys on a panel so the star chat appears::
XO_Odan says:
ALL: The areas here are areas to be avoided. ::points::
XO_Odan says:
<Jensen>*XO*: Sorry to disturb you Cmdr but I have the answer we were looking for.
XO_Odan says:
ALL: Sorry. I need to take this.     Jensen: Go ahead, Lt.
CO_Durron says:
::Nods:: XO: Subspace damage is what Thrag told me.
CO_Durron says:
::nods at the XO::
CNS_Chitwa says:
::looks up at the strange star charts::
XO_Odan says:
<Jensen>*XO*: The computer just finished the comparison. There is nothing in our archives that is similar to that start chart. Nothing.
XO_Odan says:
*Jensen*: Thank you Lt. Please put the star chart in archive. Odan out.
CO_Durron says:
CNS: What do you think the effect on the crew's moral would be if we started working under the assumption that we are here permanently?
XO_Odan says:
All: So, I guess that answers our question about where we are. We are no where SF has been to... Unless they came here on some top secret mission not in archives...
CNS_Chitwa says:
CO: I think morrale would imprrove if we found a morre habitable... and 'frriendly' place to be. Perrhaps some planets?
XO_Odan says:
CO: It would affect morale since it would mean not seeing our families. It would, as the Cns said, help morale if we were to find a friendlier area than this one.
CO_Durron says:
XO/CNS: Under the current situation what do you think our chances or returning home are?
CNS_Chitwa says:
::looks at the XO:: CO: Unless we find a similarr disturrbance...I don't know.
XO_Odan says:
CO: Considering that we do not know where we are, and the star chart we were given has no similarities from what SF has on file... chances are slim. Not inexistant. We would need to recreate the situation that brought us in, or do a little bit of investigating and find a species that can send us back somehow...
XO_Odan says:
CO: Also, just to go back on the charts, know that this path ::points to it:: is the only safe route according to the chart. We sent it to the FCO.
CO_Durron says:
XO: Seeing as we can't even figure out what happened to bring us here...Have Mr. Kami plot a course along the safe route heading the reverse of the two ships we met.  Also set up a rationing system for the replicators.
CO_Durron says:
CNS: I plan on announcing that I hope to get home soon but plan for a long term trip.  I want you to keep an eye on the crew's mental health, who knows how they will react to this.
XO_Odan says:
CO: Aye. ::as she sits::
CNS_Chitwa says:
::nods:: CO: Of courrrse, Captain.
