Host Frank_SM says:
The USS Europa has somehow ended up in an unknown Galaxy.  They are alone, without backup, and pretty short on allies.
Host Frank_SM says:
<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>
CEO_Vernius says:
::enters the bridge again after his too short sleep::
CO_Durron says:
::sighs and looks at the coffee cup once again empty on his desk.  He shrugs than stretches:: *FCO* ETA to the end of the trade rout?
CEO_Vernius says:
::takes his post at the tactical station, relieving the DTO::
CO_Durron says:
::stands and paces around in his ready room trying to get some circulation back into his legs::
CO_Durron says:
<DTO_Fuller> ::Steps to the secondary tactical console::
CEO_Vernius says:
::checks the progress of the computer on translating the transmissions from Sierra-One::
Host Frank_SM says:
Action: According to the "Map" received from Sierra Two, the safe corridor will narrow in a few light years.  The Europa will pass very close to the Subspace distortions shown on the map.
FCO_Kami says:
*CO*: Four hours, sir.
CEO_Vernius says:
DTO_Fuller: Resume your post, Ensign. ::moves to the center of the bridge and sits in the big chair, bringing up the translation notes on the armrest screen::
CEO_Vernius says:
<DTO_Fuller>CEO: Aye, sir ::steps back to his original console::
CEO_Vernius says:
::sighs, looking at the progress report from the computer:: Self: Point two percent, more good news to start the morning.
CEO_Vernius says:
::Asks a yeoman to bring him a cup of coffee while he reviews the overnight report on the ship's status. Notes that the Warp Core is running at 95% efficiency and makes a mental note to find out more about that today::
CO_Durron says:
::sighs again and looks at the map.:: *FCO* Bring us to a full stop at our closest distance to the distortions.  *CEO* What is the status on the translation?
FCO_Kami says:
*CO* Aye, sir. ::Programs the ship to do just that.::
CEO_Vernius says:
*CEO*: Zero Decimal Two Percent complete, Captain. Estimated Time of completion is 75 hours.
CO_Durron says:
*CEO* Any way we can speed that up?  Give it more processor speed somehow?
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: Not without cutting processor time from essential ship systems, sir. Yesterday, I ordered all non-essential computer time suspended indefinitely. I'm afraid we're stuck with 75 hours, unless we get some help from one of the locals.
CO_Durron says:
*CEO* Understood, We are going to drop from warp shortly If you could focuse sensors on the subspace disturbances, maybe that will give us some clue.
CEO_Vernius says:
<add *CO*>
CEO_Vernius says:
*CO*: The Science department has been monitoring them ever since we arrived, they submitted a report in the overnight status report that you may want to take a look at, sir.
Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The Europa arrives at the closest point it will travel to the subspace disturbances.
FCO_Kami says:
::The ship comes to a slow and steady halt, as instructed by its programming.::
CEO_Vernius says:
*CO*: Sir, we've arrived at the closest point of approach to the subspace disturbances. We've come to full stop and are starting our scans, sir.
CO_Durron says:
::eyes his commlink than looks at the PADD next to him:: *CEO* I will look at it, report if you find anything interesting.
CO_Durron says:
::turns away from the PADD and closes his eyes.  He rubs the bridge of his nose and hopes for a response::
Host Frank_SM says:
Action: Initial scans show that the energy reading are nearly identical to the anomaly that brought you here, save for the age.  These distortions are a thousand years old, the one that brought you to this galaxy was a very recent event.
CEO_Vernius says:
::transmits the results of the scan to the Captain's mail queue:: *CO*: Initial readings coming in, sir.
CO_Durron says:
::brings up the findings and sighs:: *CEO* Have the FCO resume course once scans are complete, than both of you report to my ready room.
CEO_Vernius says:
::Orders full spectrum scans of the subspace distortion::
CEO_Vernius says:
*CO*: Aye, sir.
CEO_Vernius says:
FCO: Upon completion of the full spectrum scan, resume our previous course, Mr. Kami.
FCO_Kami says:
CEO: Aye.
CEO_Vernius says:
::the console beeps indicating the end of the scan:: FCO: Engage, Mr. Kami.
FCO_Kami says:
CEO: Aye. ::Does so.::
CEO_Vernius says:
Duty Tactical Officer: You have the bridge, Mr. Fuller. ::transmits the scan results to the Captain's Ready room::
CEO_Vernius says:
FCO: Mr. Kami, you're with me. ::walks to the Captain's Ready room
FCO_Kami says:
::Looks at the CEO questioningly.::
CEO_Vernius says:
<add ::>
FCO_Kami says:
::Nods, then stands up and follows the CEO.::
CEO_Vernius says:
::enters the Captain's ready room:: CO: Reporting as ordered, sir.
FCO_Kami says:
::Enters after him and looks over at the CO.:: Reporting as well.
CO_Durron says:
CEO/FCO: Come in, and sit down, I've got two questions for you.  First can we create one of these disturbances?
CEO_Vernius says:
::sits and gives the Captain's question some thought::
FCO_Kami says:
::Sits down and considers it as well.::
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: Perhaps... but we'd have to have some way of opening a tear in subspace. Even if we did, we would have no way of predicting where we'd come out. We could just as easily end up in another galaxy, or another universe for that matter.
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: Subspace is incredibly traumatized in this area, sir. The possibility of subspace interference with whatever we create is very high. I would highly recommend against attempting to do so.
CO_Durron says:
::nods and sits up folding his hands on his desk:: CEO/FCO: OK, fine.  If we find one that was the same as the one that sent us here would it take us back?
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: Post hoc, ergo propter hoc, sir. Just because we registered a subspace disturbance doesn't mean that was the cause of our transportation. Also, the disturbance disappeared when we arrived, there's no way of reopening it or finding it. It simply no-longer exists, sir.
CO_Durron says:
::nods:: CEO: I was afraid you would say that.  CEO/FCO: Alright, now onto my second question, another two parter.
CO_Durron says:
CEO: How long would it take you to scrap enough of the Shuttles to build a Kaneda Fighter?  And with the resources on hand how many do you think you could make?
CO_Durron says:
FCO: How many pilots do we have qualified for fighter piloting?
FCO_Kami says:
::Raises an eyebrow.::
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: Sir, let me back up a minute. We can't reopen the disturbance that brought us there, but we could possibly influence a permanent one. It'd be a shot in the dark. Like playing Russian roulette with ten thousand chambers and one empty one.
FCO_Kami says:
::Thinks quietly for a few moments.::
CEO_Vernius says:
CEO: We could have one together in Fifteen hours, but it would cut into our replicator rations considerably, sir.
Host Frank_SM says:
Action: Long Range sensors detect another vessel approximately 3 hours away and on an intercept course with the Europa.
FCO_Kami says:
CO: I'd say we have about 8, including myself. I'm sure there are more that aren't part of my staff.
CO_Durron says:
CEO: Have we seen any asteroids or other space debris that we could use?  Any chance of mining and refining the material necessary to build a fighter?
CEO_Vernius says:
<DTO_Fuller>*CO*: Captain, we have a vessel incoming. ETA three hours.
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: Not with onboard facilities, sir. We're set up for tactical/explorer, not refining/industry.
CO_Durron says:
::nods:: CEO/FCO: Alright, we will keep this in mind for when we find more supplies.  FCO: Get your pilots training in Kaneda fighter sims.
FCO_Kami says:
CO: Aye, sir.
CEO_Vernius says:
CEO: Aye, sir. I'll kick it around with the Engineering staff and see if we can't come up with a better solution.
CO_Durron says:
CEO/FCO: I suggest you gentlemen take a nap before our guest gets here, I'll see you in a few hours.
CEO_Vernius says:
CEO: I just came on duty, sir. With your permission, I'll resume my post on the bridge.
FCO_Kami says:
CO: I'd prefer to get to work, sir.
CO_Durron says:
CEO/FCO: Who knows when we'll get a few hours quiet time next, I'd say take it when you can, but suit yourself.
