USS Geneva Mission Transcript – 10410.01

Host SM_Pam  (Actd.mid)
Host SM_Pam says:
The Geneva and her crew are on the way to the malfunctioning deep space antennae array to try and determine what has caused it to break down. Is it a mere mechanical failure or is there something sinister about going on here?
Host SM_Pam says:
The crew is enjoying some relaxing moments as they continue on their merry way, talking and laughing with each other, as they go about their regular routines. Even the guys in waste disposal are having a good day it seems. Think that’s going to last people?
Host SM_Pam says:
The ship is still about twenty minutes from the array’s location, which is in an area that has become somewhat unstable in the last few weeks. Several ion storms and other phenomenia have been recorded by passing ships, but no one can explain why there is this sudden surge of activity.
Host SM_Pam says:
Now the crew has to find the problem with the array and repair it while dealing with the other small problems.  Oh yes, there are problems, indeed there are.
Host SM_Pam says:
ACTD to proud to present the USS Geneva in....” Ok, Who Broke The Antennae Array? “ ......... Stardate 10410.01

CEO_McDowell says:
::still sitting in the hot seat on the Bridge, going over more schematics::
EO_Valentine says:
::working in ME::
SO_Jakiel says:
::checks her LRS for signals from the array and does another tachyon sweep::
XO_Taal says:
::walking down a corridor heading for nowhere in particular::
FCO_Lex says:
::at flight controls::
SO_Jakiel says:
CEO:  Sir, we're twenty minutes from the array.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::is at tactical reading some reports from other starships in the area near the antennae array, feeling very good now that he had a chat with the captain::
CIV_Pierce says:
::Still at her console on the bridge, but has run out of things to do::
CO_Shras says:
:: sitting in the command chair on the bridge ::
CEO_McDowell says:
::looks back to the SO, somewhat longingly:: SO: Please tell me I can blame these ion storms we've detected... at least to some degree?
CO_Shras says:
FCO: ETA?
FCO_Lex says:
CO: We are twenty minutes from the array.
CNS_Bauer says:
::Just returning back to his quarters from the holo-deck::
SO_Jakiel says:
CEO:  I am afraid not sir, but I will look into it.  ::turns back to her scans::
XO_Taal says:
::as opposed to a standard uniform, is wearing his dark blue meditation robes::
CEO_McDowell says:
::getting up from the center seat, ceding control to the Captain::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::overhears the CEO:: CEO: Not based on these communiqués I have here. The array's systems shielding is sufficient against the intensity of the storms.
CNS_Bauer says:
::He enters his room.  Sees Goliath sleeping in his corner.  Heads to the sonic shower::
CEO_McDowell says:
::sighs, makes a face of mocking despair:: SO/CTO: So much for the easy way out...
XO_Taal says:
::enters Engineering::
CEO_McDowell says:
CTO: What's your opinion on these reports of... erm... "outside influences"?
CO_Shras says:
CEO: Any ideas on what might be wrong with the array?
CTO_Kizlev says:
::grins at Greg, folding his arms as he does so:: CEO: Don't tell me you expected this to be easy, eh?
CNS_Bauer says:
::After showering he puts on a fresh uniform::
EO_Valentine says:
::working on her console::
SO_Jakiel says:
::turns to Kizlev and nods her agreement::
SO_Jakiel says:
::senses the amusement in the emotions of the bridge crew and listens a little harder to see what is funny::
CEO_McDowell says:
::tosses hands in air:: CO: My best guess right now, and hopefully it's this simple, is probably malfunctioning amplifier equipment.
XO_Taal says:
::taking a quick look around at the Engineers working::
CO_Shras says:
CEO: I hope it is that simple, but I see you are preparing for the worst
CTO_Kizlev says:
::glances at the internal sensors, tracking the XO's location in main engineering::
SO_Jakiel says:
::listens to the captain:: CO:  Sir.  If the array is used for communications, it could be a target of sabotage.
Host SM_Pam says:
ACTION: As Taal enters engineering, his robe gets caught under his heel and he goes flying.
CIV_Pierce says:
::sighs and looks through fleet-wide reports for any mention of rebellious actions in the area::
CEO_McDowell says:
::rubs face:: *EO*: Mai, begin forming three engineering task force groups. I really don't want to spend a lifetime over at the array doing diagnostics
XO_Taal says:
::trips and falls onto the floor in front of the warp core::
FCO_Lex says:
CO: SO Jackiel has a point - is there any way that a worm or virus could have been uploaded into the array?
XO_Taal says:
::calms his mind before standing up and brushing himself off::
EO_Valentine says:
*EO*: Of course Boss!
EO_Valentine says:
::looks up at the XO:: XO: Hello Vulcan!
SO_Jakiel says:
FCO:  Once we arrive, we can download and look at the communications.  It should become apparent if that is the case.
CEO_McDowell says:
::looks up to the CTO:: CTO: Kizlev, can you spare a minimal security team... say one or two people per task force?
XO_Taal says:
<EO2> XO: Are you ok, sir?
XO_Taal says:
EO: Hello, Mai.
XO_Taal says:
EO2: Yes, thank you.
FCO_Lex says:
SO: In any case we should be careful, the last thing we want to do is contract something from the damaged array.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::hears the virus theory:: FCO: The Cardassians would have little to gain by sabotaging the array given the current state of their government. I suspect those Separatists are more than likely behind this.
EO_Valentine says:
XO: Vulcan OK? ::offers him a Twinkie::
CNS_Bauer says:
::Checks look in the mirror. Once presentable he exits quarters and heads for the bridge::
XO_Taal says:
::looks at the Twinkie::
CO_Shras says:
FCO: I leave that into the capable hands of McDowell and his team
XO_Taal says:
EO: Yes, I am fine. Thank you. ::looks at the Twinkie again::
SO_Jakiel says:
FCO:  With sufficient isolation of download memory, that should not be a problem, sir.
CTO_Kizlev says:
CEO: Absolutely. I will have them ready right away.
CEO_McDowell says:
::shaking head:: CTO/FCO/SO: I doubt a virus. The primary transceivers have isolated backups, and can run without computer control if necessary.
EO_Valentine says:
XO: you can have it.
XO_Taal says:
EO: What is it?
EO_Valentine says:
XO: A Twinkie. Mai loves them.
CNS_Bauer says:
::Enters Turbo lift:: COMPUTER: Bridge, please.  ::Watches doors swish closed::
XO_Taal says:
::takes the Twinkie in his hand and bring it up to his nose::
XO_Taal says:
::sniffs it carefully and inspects it further::
EO_Valentine says:
::giggles::
XO_Taal says:
::raises his eyebrow::
XO_Taal says:
EO: Fascinating...
CNS_Bauer says:
::Exits onto bridge and takes his place::
Host SM_Pam says:
ACTION: Sensors pick up something forming near the array's coordinates.
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: Hello, Sir.
SO_Jakiel says:
::continues to monitor the scans waiting to get close enough to have some useful data coming in on the array::
CTO_Kizlev says:
SO: I'm detecting some unusual signatures on LRS. Do you confirm, Ensign?
CEO_McDowell says:
::overhears CTO & SO, immediately goes to sit down at his engineering station to observe the readings::
SO_Jakiel says:
::initiates areas of the computer memory to hold the download, then hears Kizlev::  CTO:  Checking now, sir.  What are you picking up?
CO_Shras says:
CNS: Hi counselor
CO_Shras says:
CNS: Any good news for me?
CNS_Bauer says:
::Listens to the talk on the bridge to understand what is going on::
CEO_McDowell says:
*EO*: How are the teams coming, Mai?
SO_Jakiel says:
CTO:  There is something coalescing near the array... I'm not sure what yet.
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: I'm afraid not. 
CTO_Kizlev says:
::finishes allocating two security people to all three engineering task forces:: CEO: I have security on standby with your task forces, Lieutenant. SO: Something is happening near the array it seems. I can't make the exact details. It appears to be a.... subspace disturbance.
EO_Valentine says:
*CEO*: Almost done Done!
XO_Taal says:
::sticks out his tongue to sample a taste::
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: We can talk about that further sometime? If you want.
EO_Valentine says:
::giggles::
SO_Jakiel says:
::tries to fine tune her scans to focus their telemetry and clear up distortions::
CEO_McDowell says:
::bemuses himself by quietly mentioning that a subspace disturbance would, definitely, disturb a subspace antenna::
CIV_Pierce says:
::Looks up and blinks at the SO's comment, muttering to herself:: Self: Coalescing... that can't be good...
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: You were referring to Mr. Taal. Weren't you?
CTO_Kizlev says:
CO: Captain, I recommend going to yellow alert and launching a class II sensor probe ahead of the ship to scout ahead.
CIV_Pierce says:
::Remembers the last meeting with the Separatists and watches sensors for any signs of cloaked vessels::
SO_Jakiel says:
CO:  I agree.  I was going to suggest the addition of a probe also.
Host SM_Pam says:
ACTION: As the Geneva arrives at the array, all seems to be normal.
FCO_Lex says:
CO: Sir, one of my past hosts was an engineer; I may be of assistance at the array.
FCO_Lex says:
CO: We have arrived at the array sir.
CO_Shras says:
CTO: What can you tell from the sensors?
CO_Shras says:
CNS: Yes I was, who else would that be?
SO_Jakiel says:
::sees from her scans that other than formation all else reads as it should::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::blinks at his tactical sensors:: CO: It... seems to be that all is normal again, sir. I see no further subspace activity. Like it never happened. Strange is the word for this.
XO_Taal says:
::takes a small bite out of the Twinkie::
CEO_McDowell says:
::shoots a glare at the CTO::
CO_Shras says:
CTO: Keep your eyes opened but no need for an alert for now
XO_Taal says:
::chews it trying to figure out what's going on::
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: Well, he isn't a topic we can discuss on the bridge, Sir.
CTO_Kizlev says:
CO: Understood, sir. ::returns the CEO's glare with a puzzled look::
CTO_Kizlev says:
CEO: Perhaps not as strange as your Blue Man Group creations... ::smiles wryly at him::
CO_Shras says:
CNS: That is why I only asked if you had good news
CO_Shras says:
CNS: I am not expecting any specifics on the bridge
CEO_McDowell says:
::drops the glare to a pinpoint-eye "ha, ha, ha, funny boy" glare::
SO_Jakiel says:
::understands Kizlev's mention, thinking they were quite strange indeed::
XO_Taal says:
::walks around the warp core chewing on the Twinkie and he walks full circle::
Host SM_Pam says:
ACTION: Through the operations console can be heard a faint transmission.
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: Yes, Sir. I understand. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to imply..... Never mind.
CIV_Pierce says:
::snickers at the CTO's comment:: CEO: Besides Mr. McDowell... strange might end up being fun.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::thinks Greg looks goofy squinting his eyes so much, then looks at Rhianna mischievously::
CNS_Bauer says:
::Logs onto his console::
SO_Jakiel says:
::not sure what to make of Kizlev's emotions but gives him a slight smile before turning to the captain::  CO:  Sir, we need to look at the communications just before the malfunction. I have isolated an area of memory for downloading the data.
XO_Taal says:
EO: Tasty...
XO_Taal says:
EO: Thank you, Mai.
SO_Jakiel says:
CO:  Sir, a faint transmission coming in....upping the volume.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::borrows the CEO's glare from before and uses it at the inattentive OPS ensign to report the transmission when he was supposed to::
EO_Valentine says:
@<T> COM: Geneva: Geneva, is that you? Come in please!
SO_Jakiel says:
::listens to the communication and tries to clean it up::
CO_Shras says:
:: listening ::
SO_Jakiel says:
COM: T:  This is the USS Geneva.  We hear you.
XO_Taal says:
::Exits Engineering still chewing on the Twinkie::
EO_Valentine says:
<T> COM: Geneva: Wherrre arrre you? You werrre in frrront of me, but you dissappearrred.
Host SM_Pam says:
ACTION: The message terminates and all contact is lost.
SO_Jakiel says:
CO:  Sir, parts of the message are garbled.  Trying to clear it.
SO_Jakiel says:
CO:  I heard something about disappearing but little else.  The transmission is silent again.
CEO_McDowell says:
::looks up, slightly surprised:: Bridge: I didn't realize someone at Starfleet told them we, specifically, were coming.
Host SM_Pam says:
ACTION: Lights on the engineering bridge console begin to blink.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::blinks, thinking the voice sounded.... feline in an odd kind of way, much like Cmdr. Jakuharrr's back in the day::
CO_Shras says:
SO: Source?
CIV_Pierce says:
::Frowns as the message cuts::  SO: Could we determine the source of the message?
XO_Taal says:
::walks into a turbolift and calls for deck 2::
SO_Jakiel says:
::shakes her head::  CO:  Not sure at this point... trying to pinpoint it now.
CEO_McDowell says:
::notices activity at his station from his peripheral vision... sits back down and starts tapping::
SO_Jakiel says:
::watches the lighting on her scans and viewscreen blink::  CO:  I'm losing power or something to my console.  It's blinking intermittently.
XO_Taal says:
::exits onto deck 2 and heads for his office::
SO_Jakiel says:
CEO:  Can you reroute power?
CTO_Kizlev says:
CO: Sir, I suspect this may be some kind of diversion. Shall I sweep the area with tachyons in case there are cloaked ships about?
Host SM_Pam says:
ACTION: The subspace anomaly reappears once more, this time slightly larger.
CEO_McDowell says:
::rubs head, trying to make sense of a problem that they had corrected only a month or so earlier::
SO_Jakiel says:
CTO:  I have been doing that as you suggested, but so far no indication of a cloaked ship, sir.
XO_Taal says:
::enters his office and sits down in his chair and takes out a PADD::
CEO_McDowell says:
CO: Diagnostics are noting instability in our antimatter storage units. Attempting to diagnose.
SO_Jakiel says:
::catches the anomaly again on her scans::  CO: Sir, the coalescing form is back, and larger.
CEO_McDowell says:
*EO*: Mai, take a team to Antimatter Storage. Visually inspect, and run a local Level 5 Diagnostic, on the storage pods, please.
CO_Shras says:
CEO: This is not the time for malfunctions chief....
CTO_Kizlev says:
SO: I see... ::spots the disturbance again:: ...there's what I saw earlier on sensors.
EO_Valentine says:
@<T> COM: Geneva: Therrre you arrre again! Hold yourrr position.
CEO_McDowell says:
CO: I understand that, sir. ::said without taking his gaze off the console::
EO_Valentine says:
*CEO*: Of course Boss!
CO_Shras says:
CTO: Is that an anomaly in the sensors or something real?
Host SM_Pam says:
ACTION: The anti-matter pods continue to degrade.
SO_Jakiel says:
CO:  The voice is back, sir.
CTO_Kizlev says:
CO: It is quite real, captain. The transmission carrier wave frequency confirms it.
CNS_Bauer says:
::Listens to the incoming message, it is still difficult to hear::
CO_Shras says:
SO: Record and locate
SO_Jakiel says:
COM: T:  Our position?  Can you repeat, please?  And boost your signal?
XO_Taal says:
::begins to catch up on some reports throughout the ship::
CO_Shras says:
CTO: Yellow alert
EO_Valentine says:
@<T> COM: Geneva: Doing the best I can. I can barrrely see you.
SO_Jakiel says:
CO:  Yes sir, communications are being recorded.  I am trying to locate the source.
CEO_McDowell says:
::mumbles:: CO: May I suggest backing off from the anomaly, temporarily? It may be linked to our... quirk.
CTO_Kizlev says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::activates yellow alert::
XO_Taal says:
::notices the yellow alert klaxons blaring::
CTO_Kizlev  (Yellow Alert.wav)
XO_Taal says:
::stands up out of his seat and exits his office::
EO_Valentine says:
@<T> ::fires a phaser blast off the side of the Geneva::
SO_Jakiel says:
COM: T:  We are doing our best to locate you.  ::only hears part of the communication::
CTO_Kizlev says:
CO: Shields up, captain. Weapons on standby.
Host SM_Pam  (Phsblst1.wav)
Host SM_Pam says:
ACTION: The phaser blast is wide of the Geneva but creases the array.
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: It fired at us!
XO_Taal says:
::enters the bridge through the back entrance::
XO_Taal says:
::watches the bridge crew::
FCO_Lex says:
CNS: I don’t think it was firing at us - It went too wide for us to be the target
CEO_McDowell says:
::head buried in his console and this obsessive antimatter storage subsystem, doesn't see the phaser target practice going on::
CTO_Kizlev says:
COM: T: It would help if you identified yourself to us.... ::notices the phaser shot:: CO: I'm not so sure we were the target.
SO_Jakiel says:
::watches as the blast misses::  CO:  Captain, they couldn't have been that mistaken with their shot.  It has now pinpointed where it came from.
FCO_Lex says:
CNS: I think the array is the target sir.
CNS_Bauer says:
::Notices Taal enter. Nods a greeting and smiles to him::
XO_Taal says:
::nods his head at the Counselor::
CEO_McDowell says:
::looks up from his console for a brief instant:: Bridge: Is someone else creating more problems for me?
SO_Jakiel says:
COM:T:  Whomever you are, please desist.  We have your location and you are disrupting the array.
CIV_Pierce says:
::Looks over her shoulder:: XO: Good to see you Commander.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::feeds the phaser shot origin to the SO::
CNS_Bauer says:
FCO: No kidding? Thank you, Ensign.  
SO_Jakiel says:
CO:  The phaser came from the anomaly sir.
XO_Taal says:
CIV: Commander. ::nods his head::
CIV_Pierce says:
CEO: I don't think they're trying to create problems.  I think this is almost a distress call.
SO_Jakiel says:
::checks again:: CO:  It has a Federation signature.
EO_Valentine says:
@<T> COM: Geneva: Finally. I've been looking forrr you forrreverrrr.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::shakes his head with frustration:: ALL: Who is this person? She seems to claim to know who we are.
Host SM_Pam says:
ACTION: As the anomaly continues to grow in size, something appears to trying to come through it.
CO_Shras says:
SO: Confirm the registry, I want the name of the ship
CEO_McDowell says:
::only now becomes worried about the antimatter pods:: *EO*: Mai??? Antimatter status???
CO_Shras says:
CEO: What exactly is that out there?
EO_Valentine says:
*CEO*: Mai is working as fast as she can.
SO_Jakiel says:
COM: T: You are looking for something?
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: Can we lock onto it?
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: Help pull it through?
SO_Jakiel says:
CO:  The anomaly is growing in size.
CO_Shras says:
FCO: back us off a safe distance
SO_Jakiel says:
CO:  Something seems to be emerging from it.
EO_Valentine says:
@<T> COM: Geneva: This is the Shuttle Tuckerrrr. I've been looking forrr you forrr seven yearrrs.
CTO_Kizlev says:
CNS: There's too much interference from the anomaly for us to use tractors on the emerging craft.
FCO_Lex says:
::Engages thrusters in reverse:: CO: I'll back us off 100 KM
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: The Tucker? Can't be.
CO_Shras says:
CNS: You know about that ship?
CNS_Bauer says:
CTO: Thank you, Lt.
XO_Taal says:
::listens carefully::
SO_Jakiel says:
::listens to the com, surprised with the message she thinks she hears:: COM: Tucker:  Do you need assistance?
XO_Taal says:
::raises an eyebrow::
CEO_McDowell says:
::looking at the bewildered stares on some of the Bridge crew, mouthing to himself "The Shuttle who-what's-it?"::
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: Well, we have a shuttle called the Tucker.
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: After Captain Tucker, remember?
EO_Valentine says:
@<T> COM: Geneva: Yes, please!
CTO_Kizlev says:
CNS: Not according to tactical inventory logs, we do. Are you certain, sir?
Host SM_Pam says:
ACTION: Taal's padd drops from his hand making a slight crashing sound, getting the bridge crew's attention for a moment.
SO_Jakiel says:
CO:  Sir, the voice identifies itself as the Shuttle Tucker.  It's saying something about seven years.
SO_Jakiel says:
::puts the communication on speakers::
CEO_McDowell says:
::has a clueless expression::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::glances at the XO's reaction and the fallen padd:: XO: Sir?
SO_Jakiel says:
CO: The shuttle requests assistance.  COM: Tucker: Do you need medical assistance?
Host SM_Pam says:
ACTION: A Federation shuttle shoots out of the anomaly and heads for the Geneva.
XO_Taal says:
CTO: I know that voice.
FCO_Lex says:
::Thinks to self - now – that’s - a person I haven't thought about in a long time::
CIV_Pierce says:
XO: Is it a friendly voice sir?
CTO_Kizlev says:
XO: If you do, please enlighten us to who this person is. She will not give her name to us.
EO_Valentine says:
@<T> COM: Geneva: Yes please.
CNS_Bauer says:
::Looks at Taal:: 
Host SM_Pam says:
ACTION: Down in engineering Mai gets a sudden chill as if.....
XO_Taal says:
CIV: Yes, she is quite friendly. Unless you get on her bad side.
XO_Taal says:
CTO: Perhaps, I shall leave her to introduce herself.
CNS_Bauer says:
::Stands up::
CIV_Pierce says:
::Looks confused:: XO: With all due respect sir... I must say you are acting very strangely.
SO_Jakiel says:
::sets the computer to do a voice match with old crew personnel after listening to the executive officer::
CNS_Bauer says:
XO: It can't be.....
SO_Jakiel says:
CO:  Shall we notify medical to standby?
XO_Taal says:
CIV: Wouldn't you act strange as well if someone you thought was dead, wasn't?
CO_Shras says:
SO: Make it so
CNS_Bauer says:
XO: No Taal.....
CEO_McDowell says:
::still sitting at his station with a completely bewildered look::
CNS_Bauer says:
::Isn't so sure::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::watches the SO go to work, thinking that her Romulan side is already working on solving the mystery of this... visitor::
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: We gotta bring that ship through.
CIV_Pierce says:
::Surprised to hear the words:: XO: Yes sir... I suppose so.
SO_Jakiel says:
*CMO*: Medical to standby.  Incoming casualties from a shuttle might be coming in.
CIV_Pierce says:
CNS: Should I feel left out of the loop here?
CEO_McDowell says:
::looks at the CIV with a "you're not alone" look::
CNS_Bauer says:
CIV: Yes, Ma'am.... this is freaky.
CO_Shras says:
CTO: Send a security team to shuttle bay and let the shuttle come in
SO_Jakiel says:
CO:  Captain, the voice of the shuttle Tucker matches a former crew member who is now deceased.
CIV_Pierce says:
::Listens and looks around:: Self: It's finally happened... I've gone completely nuts...
CO_Shras says:
SO: I know, this is why we will be careful
CNS_Bauer says:
SELF: Oh my word.... it can't be....
CTO_Kizlev says:
*Security*: Dispatch teams to Shuttlebay One immediately. CO: I'll head on down there, sir.
