Host Frank_SM says:
The USS Europa, somehow lost, has been scanning subspace disturbances found throughout the area trying to determine how they got here, and how to get back.  There is an unknown ship on an intercept course with them about 30 minutes away.
Host Frank_SM says:
<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>
CEO_Vernius says:
::At the secondary Tactical station, continuing to monitor his split screen::
CO_Durron says:
::sitting in his ready room looking over a report on the disturbances::
CEO_Vernius says:
XO: 30 minutes to intercept, sir. We should be in range of passive sensors momentarily.
XO_Odan says:
::After getting a Racktajino, walks back to SCI1 to check on scans::
Host Frank_SM says:
Action: Sensors detect a small object within the disturbances.  It has a power signature and shows one lifesign.
XO_Odan says:
CEO: Thanks, Lt. I'm checking them now. ::checks sensors::
CEO_Vernius says:
::sees a blinking light on his console:: XO: Sir.... Do you see that?
XO_Odan says:
::puts her cup down and quickly taps on her console:: CEO: Wow... mmm...
CEO_Vernius says:
XO: Recommend we come about, and close to transporter range, sir.
XO_Odan says:
*CO*: Captain Durron. Scans detect... a lifesign in the disturbance... Scanning again to confirm.
CO_Durron says:
::stands up, puts down his PADD and walks onto the bridge:: XO: Explain.
CEO_Vernius says:
::inputs a few queries on his console:: XO: Correction, transporters don't seem to be an option, sir. We'll have to use a tractor beam.
XO_Odan says:
CO: Scans detect a small object within the disturbance... it shows one lifesign.
CEO_Vernius says:
CO/XO: Range, 40,000 km and falling. We'll pass within 18,000 km on our present course, sir.
XO_Odan says:
CEO: Prepare the tractor beam and wait for captain's orders before activating it.
CO_Durron says:
::starts towards the big chair:: XO: An escape pod?
XO_Odan says:
CO: It could very well be that sir. But the disturbances are making it difficult to get proper readings.
CEO_Vernius says:
XO: Aye, sir. ::initializes a tractor beam and locks onto the object::
Host Frank_SM says:
Action: Despite interference from the subspace distortions, sensors show the energy signature to be a familiar one.  It is a Federation Escape Pod.
XO_Odan says:
CO: I suggest we check it out sir because if it is a SF escape pod, we cannot leave it here... especially since there is a life sign... scanning again to see if I can get better readings ::scans::
CEO_Vernius says:
CO/XO: Coming up on closest point of approach, sir.
CO_Durron says:
::nods:: XO: It could also be an elaborate trap...
XO_Odan says:
::checks scan results:: CO: Sir, it looks like it is a Federation escape pod. The energy signature is similar. ::nods:: Indeed it could be a trap. But it could also be a fellow officer in need of help.
CO_Durron says:
::nods:: DFCO: All stop at closest point of approach.
CO_Durron says:
<DFCO_Wang> ::nods and inputs the orders into his console::
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: Permission to engage tractor beam, sir?
CO_Durron says:
CEO: Pull it into the shuttlebay,  and have a security team meet it there.
XO_Odan says:
CO: Want me to meet with the security team there?
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::engages tractor beam and taps his commbadge:: DSec: Security to shuttle bay 1.
CO_Durron says:
XO: Yes, but take a medical kit with you.
CEO_Vernius says:
::Had gotten out of his seat to go to the shuttlebay, but sits back down at the XO's words::
XO_Odan says:
CO: Aye. I'll have Ens Jonas come too in case we need more extensive medical assistance.
CEO_Vernius says:
::Pulls a phaser from under the console and extends it to the XO:: XO: You may need this, sir.
CO_Durron says:
CEO: Join the XO, see what you can get out of the pod, I would like to see any sensor logs or duty logs from it.
CEO_Vernius says:
::stands again and grabs another phaser:: CO: Aye, sir.
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::feels a change in the pod's acceleration and wonders if its been caught by something::
CEO_Vernius says:
::moves to the Turbolift:: XO: After you, sir.
XO_Odan says:
DSO Baroni: You have science. ::leaves SCI1, grabs a med kit and enters the TL::
CEO_Vernius says:
::enters behind the XO:: Computer: Shuttle Bay 1
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::hopes its not the gravitational field of a star::
XO_Odan says:
*Ens Jonas*: Ensign, please come to Shuttle Bay 1 and bring a med kit.
CO_Durron says:
::sits down in the big chair::
XO_Odan says:
CEO: So what's your take on this pod... friend or foe?
XO_Odan says:
<Jonas>*XO*: Aye, Cmdr. ::does as required::
CEO_Vernius says:
::feels the Turbolift coming to a halt:: XO: Either way, we'll find out soon, sir. But be ready. ::Taps his phaser::
CO_Durron says:
DFCO: Remain at station keeping, but be ready for evasive maneuvers.
CEO_Vernius says:
::Turbolift doors open and Alan extends an arm, indicating the XO should precede him::
CO_Durron says:
DOPS: Wait until the XO reports ready until you bring the pod into the bay.
CO_Durron says:
DSO: Warn me if you pick up any other ships...or think you pick up any other ships.
XO_Odan says:
::Exits the TL and waits for the CEO to get out::
CEO_Vernius says:
::follows the XO::
CEO_Vernius says:
::motions the two security personnel with phaser rifles to follow him::
CO_Durron says:
::brings up the Operations display on his console and sends a hail to the quickly approaching pod::
XO_Odan says:
*CO*: We have arrived in Shuttle Bay 1 ::looks around and see the security team and Ens Jonas::
CEO_Vernius says:
::nods to the XO:: Ready, sir.
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::moves her hand carefully within the cramped confines of the pod and acknowledges the hail::
CO_Durron says:
*XO* Hold on, we'll be bringing the pod aboard shortly.
XO_Odan says:
::nods at the CEO and waits::
XO_Odan says:
*CO*: Aye.
CO_Durron says:
DOPS: Keep it stationary outside of the Shuttlebay.
CEO_Vernius says:
::watches as the MagCon field forms and the shuttlebay door opens::
CO_Durron says:
COM: EscapePod: Attention escape pod, this is Captain Durron on the USS Europa.  We are bringing you into our shuttlebay.  Stand by.
CO_Durron says:
<DOPS_Logan> ::brings the pod to a stop just outside the shuttlebay per orders.::
CTO_Kyrron says:
@COM: CO:  Acknowledged.  ::relaxes as much as is possible considering she's claustrophobic::
XO_Odan says:
<Jonas>CEO/XO: So what is it we are waiting for?
CO_Durron says:
::nods to the OPS:: DOPS: Bring it in.
CEO_Vernius says:
Jonas: The Captain's being cautious.
CEO_Vernius says:
::approval in his voice::
CO_Durron says:
<DOPS_Logan> ::Slowly brings the escape pod into the shuttle bay and sets it down with the tractor beam::
XO_Odan says:
<Jonas>CEO: Being cautious of? I was only told to come here and not given an idea of the situation.
CO_Durron says:
DSO: Do you have any other escape pods or debris on sensors?
CTO_Kyrron says:
::feels the pod settle on what appears to be a firm surface::
XO_Odan says:
Jonas: Just look.
CEO_Vernius says:
::motions the security personnel to readiness and their rifles come to their shoulders:: Jonas: That
CO_Durron says:
<DOPS_Logan> ::shuts down the tractor beam and signals for the Shuttle Bay doors to close::
CEO_Vernius says:
::watches the doors close and the MagCon field dissipates::
CEO_Vernius says:
::walks to the escape pod and keys the opening sequence::
CEO_Vernius says:
::steps back and clears the field of fire::
XO_Odan says:
::approaches, watches as the SEC team and the CEO secure the escape pod and open it::
CO_Durron says:
<DSO_Baroni> CO: Negative sir, just the one we have aboard, no sign of the ship...
CO_Durron says:
::cracks his fingers:: DOPS: Put up a feed from the shuttle bay on the viewscreen.
CEO_Vernius says:
::The door to the escape pod slides open in front of them, the darkness within prevents them from seeing anything::
CO_Durron says:
<DOPS_Logan>::brings up the sensor feed from the shuttle bay and puts it on the viewscreen::
CTO_Kyrron says:
::raises her hand to shield her eyes::
XO_Odan says:
::takes the med tricorder from her medkit and scans the lifesign inside the pod::
CTO_Kyrron says:
::sits up looking annoyed::
XO_Odan says:
CEO: Got any light? ::as she carefully approaches to get a better scan::
CEO_Vernius says:
XO: Yes, sir. ::motions for one of the security personnel to shine the light on his rifle into the open escape pod::
XO_Odan says:
CTO: Hello? Who ever is in the pod, we mean no harm and are here to help you...
CEO_Vernius says:
::snorts and mutters under his breath:: Self: We mean you harm if you mean us harm
CTO_Kyrron says:
::looks around wildly::  XO: Where are the other pods?!
XO_Odan says:
CTO: We will discuss about other pods later ::as she approaches the CTO even more:: What's your name? How are you feeling?
CEO_Vernius says:
::raises an eyebrow at the sight of a Starfleet officer's uniform::
CTO_Kyrron says:
::climbs out of the pod::  XO: Lt. Kyrron, Tactical officer aboard the USS Pontifex.
XO_Odan says:
CTO: Nice to meet you Lt. I'm Cmdr Odan. How are you feeling?
CO_Durron says:
::taps his thumb with his index finger, than his middle finger, than his ring finger, than his pinky finger, than reverses the maneuver.  He repeats this rapidly::
CEO_Vernius says:
::motions for the Security officers to stand down and walks to the XO's side::
CEO_Vernius says:
::pulls out his tricorder and begins to scan the pod::
CTO_Kyrron says:
::frowns at the CEO::
XO_Odan says:
CEO: Have the SEC team secure the pod. Please gather all data you can from it so we get answers as to how it got here... it may provide us answers to get back to our own space.
CTO_Kyrron says:
XO:  Here?  Where is "here" exactly?  ::getting a bad feeling about this::
XO_Odan says:
CTO: Don't mind the CEO, Lt. We will need Ens Jonas here to do a quick med check on you. I can answer all your questions during that time. Is that okay?
CEO_Vernius says:
XO: Aye, sir. ::steps into the pod and motions one of the security personnel to follow him::
CTO_Kyrron says:
XO:  Aye, Sir.  ::taps her foot impatiently::
CEO_Vernius says:
::walks to the computer terminal and begins to access the sensor and duty logs::
XO_Odan says:
CTO: Good. Follow me ::motions to Jonas to follow them::
CO_Durron says:
::brings up the Starfleet personnel records and starts a search for a Lieutenant by the name of Kyrron assigned to the Pontifex.::
CEO_Vernius says:
*CO*: Sir, forwarding sensor and duty logs to your console now. ::Forwards the data::
XO_Odan says:
CTO: So why did you end up in a pod? ::as she leads the three of them in the TL::
CTO_Kyrron says:
::follows along::  XO:  We were attacked, but by what I'm not sure.  I've never seen a ship like that before.
XO_Odan says:
CTO: In what sector where you when this attacked occurred?    TL: Sickbay.
CO_Durron says:
::brings up the duty logs on the other armrest as the search progresses.::
CEO_Vernius says:
::exits the pod and seals it behind him:: Security: Stand guard here until we clear up this situation.
CEO_Vernius says:
::Walks out to the TL:: TL: Bridge
CTO_Kyrron says:
XO:  Sector 098, I think...  ::is still a bit disoriented about the whole thing::  We abandoned ship after they used what appeared to be a subspace weapon.  Have you seen any other pods?
XO_Odan says:
::exits the TL and enters sickbay:: CTO: So far we only found your pod. I'll let the bridge know they should look for other pods too.
XO_Odan says:
<Jonas>CTO: Lt, please sit on the biobed here ::points::
CTO_Kyrron says:
::tries not to think about what might have happened to her crewmates as she follows along::
CEO_Vernius says:
::the turbolift slides to a halt on the bridge and the doors open:: CO: Any luck, sir?
XO_Odan says:
*CO*: I'm with Lt Kyrron in sickbay. Ens Jonas will perform a quick medical exam. There may be other pods out there Captain.
CEO_Vernius says:
::resumes his position at the secondary Tactical station::
XO_Odan says:
<Jonas>CTO: How do you feel, Lt? ::as he scans her::
CTO_Kyrron says:
::frowns at this Ens Jonas person::  Jonas:  Intact.
CO_Durron says:
::sounding grim:: *XO* Understood.
CEO_Vernius says:
::hears the XO's voice and begins a scan for more pods::
XO_Odan says:
*CO*: Do you want me to bring the Lt to your Ready Room once she is cleared from sickbay?
XO_Odan says:
<Jonas>CTO: Intact is a good start. ::looks at the scan results:: Preliminary scans show just a few bruises and lack of nutrients. How long have you been in the pod?
CO_Durron says:
::folds his arms:: CEO: Focus on the logs and flight recorder,  see if you can find many discrepancies.
CO_Durron says:
*XO* Yes.  Do.
CTO_Kyrron says:
Jonas:  I don't know for sure but it felt like forever.  ::frowns some more::
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: Aye, sir. No further pods in sensor range. ::begins reviewing the sensor and duty logs::
XO_Odan says:
*CO*: Aye, Odan out.
XO_Odan says:
Jonas: How is the Lt doing?
XO_Odan says:
<Jonas>XO: A few bruises. She'll need to eat and drink. And have a good night sleep. Other than that, she is fine physically.
CO_Durron says:
::looks grim:: CEO: I know.
XO_Odan says:
::nods:: CTO: Our Captain would like to meet you. He'll be able to answer your other questions. I'll make sure we get your quarters and rations.
CEO_Vernius says:
::nods to the CO::
CTO_Kyrron says:
XO: Why do I need quarters?  Where the hell are we?
