Host Bob says:
ACTION: THE USS GENEVA IS STILL AT THE SITE OF THE NOW HEAVILY DAMAGED DEEP SPACE ANTENNEA ARRAY, DAMAGED BY THE SEVERE INTERSPACIAL DISTORTIONS
CO_Shras says:
:: sitting on a bed in sickbay, waiting for the medical crew to finish and clear him for duty ::
CEO_McDowell says:
::riding the TL to the Bridge, somewhat impatient::
XO_Taal says:
::standing in the middle of the bridge::
SO_Randall says:
::sitting at the console reviewing the sensor logs from Tlatoani's shuttle::
CNS_Bauer says:
::On the bridge. Covering Ops from his chair::
CMO_Kimura says:
::on the bridge, at the conn again, just in case::
CEO_McDowell says:
::arrives on the Bridge, looking around to see who, on the senior staff, is on duty::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::is at tactical seeing K'Larn returning to his post now:: TO: I trust the shield modification will work?
XO_Taal says:
::looks at Mr. McDowell as he enters::
CEO_McDowell says:
::in slight mid-stride, acknowledges the glance from Taal, and points to the observation lounge door::
XO_Taal says:
::nods his head::
XO_Taal says:
CNS: Counselor, you have the bridge.
XO_Taal says:
::heads for the observation lounge::
SO_Randall says:
::looks up as Taal walks by::
CNS_Bauer says:
XO: Aye, Sir.
CTO_Kizlev says:
<TO K'Larn> ::nods his head:: CTO: I am confident, sir. ::resumes his place a TAC II::
CEO_McDowell says:
::snaps fingers, and beckons Kizlev & Randall to tag along::
CO_Shras says:
:: gets the PADD clearing him for duty from a medical attendant and leave sickbay ::
SO_Randall says:
::stands up and follows them into the observation lounge::
XO_Taal says:
CEO: Lieutenant?
CTO_Kizlev says:
::blinks at the CEO, not quite catching his meaning or intentions, but sees the where the SO goes and cautiously follows in::
CEO_McDowell says:
::waits for the others to file in, and take seats... doesn't sit down, but rests his heads on his chair's headrest, punching a few display buttons::
CO_Shras says:
:: enters the nearest TL ::
CO_Shras says:
TL: Bridge
CEO_McDowell says:
XO: A possible theory, sir...
XO_Taal says:
CEO: By all means, Lieutenant.
CEO_McDowell says:
::punches up the subspace domain model he was running::
CO_Shras says:
:: TL doors open on the bridge, Shras walks toward his command chair ::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::stops in front of the CEO and eyes him wearily:: CEO: My name is not a challenge to pronounce. Don't refrain from using it if must summon me again, Lieutenant.
CNS_Bauer says:
ALL: Captain on the bridge. CO: Hello, Sir. How are you feeling?
CTO_Kizlev says:
::takes his seat::
CMO_Kimura says:
::doesn't look up from her console:: CO: Captain, may I see your clearing PADD before you sit down?
CEO_McDowell says:
All: I will preface this by saying I do not completely understand the interactions between subspace and the space/time fabric barrier, so the fact that an alternate shuttle Tucker arrived and partly disappeared cannot be completely answered by my theory.
SO_Randall says:
::nods his head at the Lieutenant's opening statement::
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: There's a meeting going on in the Observation lounge. Maybe you should join them.
CO_Shras says:
CMO: Somehow I knew you would need it :: give the PADD to the suspicious doctor, smiling with the corner of his mouth ::
CEO_McDowell says:
All: I believe... ::hesitates:: ... for lack of better words to describe, subspace is becoming worn out in the surrounding space around the array. Like a garment that has been worn thin.
CO_Shras says:
CNS: Who is there?
CMO_Kimura says:
::reads the casualty reports and sighs:: CO: Dr. Kimura to the Captain.
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: Taal, Kizlev and Randall are with Mr. McDowell, Sir.
XO_Taal says:
::raises an eyebrow::
XO_Taal says:
CEO: Fascinating. Please continue.
CEO_McDowell says:
All: After having run five subspace domain simulations, such as the one in front of you, I believe that the antenna array's high usage in the previous months has, as described, worn the inter-dimensional subspace barriers thin.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::crooks an eyebrow at the CEO's ideas::
CMO_Kimura says:
CO: Oh, and Captain? Do you want the casualty list?
SO_Randall says:
CEO: So how do we make it... thick again?
CEO_McDowell says:
All: High power scanning and signal amplification are the array's main functions. For whatever reason, it's been under heavy use recently, as described by data given to us by Command before we left Starbase.
CO_Shras says:
CMO: Yes I would, how are we doing?
CEO_McDowell says:
SO: I admit, honestly, I am unsure right now. This is not a clean "rip" of the subspace domain, which could be repaired using known methods involving warp bubbles. This is more of a cumulative effect.
CTO_Kizlev says:
CEO: I can't say I'm convinced. It would take more than months, even at full scanning capacity to generate this much damage in subspace.
CMO_Kimura says:
CO: Not so good, sir. ::turns around:: 2 officers dead, 3 crewmen confirmed dead, 25 wounded and another 17 are missing, not including any personnel from the antennae array.
CEO_McDowell says:
SO: Being an engineer, I thought I would leave some of that to the Science department. ::stated with a slight wink::
SO_Randall says:
CEO: Great. So thoughtful of you, sir.
XO_Taal says:
CTO: We cannot disprove his theory.
CNS_Bauer says:
::Hears Dr. Kimura's report and is saddened by it::
XO_Taal says:
CEO: However, we cannot prove it either.
CMO_Kimura says:
::hears a beep on her console:: CO: Oh, there's one more who just died...
CEO_McDowell says:
CTO: Again, that's another point that I cannot completely answer. I'm not completely convinced myself. But the effects, as shown in the models, seem to fit the descriptions.
CO_Shras says:
CMO: Send the names and certificates to my office, I'll write a report and notify the families as soon as Andorianly possible
CEO_McDowell says:
All: Actually, there may be some proof, and we have experienced it already... twice.
XO_Taal says:
CEO/CTO/SO: Assuming Lieutenant McDowell's theory holds true, what solutions do we have?
CMO_Kimura says:
CO: Aye, sir... ::turns around::
CTO_Kizlev says:
XO: Agreed, sir. I can amend his theory with the possibility of an outside influence at work here. Perhaps rogue Cardassian militants or the Separatists...
XO_Taal says:
CTO: We have no evidence of their involvements in this sector, Lieutenant.
CO_Shras says:
:: walks to the observation lounge ::
CEO_McDowell says:
CTO: The given data I had at my disposal does not immediately point to a large spike in activity, which would indicate direct intentional action by an outside force.
XO_Taal says:
CTO: To theorize their possible involvement would only increase the number of variables we must satisfy.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::nods his head, mentally compartmentalizing his assumptions and focuses on solutions::
CEO_McDowell says:
::scowls to self "Must tactical officers always have a conspiracy theory in the back of their minds???"::
CNS_Bauer says:
::Searching systems to find more power to allocate to ship's shield integrity.  Just in case we hit another "bubble.” Ship is still at Red Alert::
CEO_McDowell says:
All: As I was describing, with subspace possibly weakening in this area, localized "holes" have popped up, into alternate subspace dimensional domains. I believe this is what happened to some of our crew, and has happened with the array.
CO_Shras says:
:: enter the lounge and walk to his chair , leaving the senior officers talking ::
CTO_Kizlev says:
XO: I would say that we first learn what we can from the Captain. Perhaps he noticed something during his disappearance from the ship.
CEO_McDowell says:
All: To, unfortunately, use another analogy... We've hit subspace "potholes.”
SO_Randall says:
CEO: So you're saying that the array disappeared into a hole and wasn't destroyed?
CEO_McDowell says:
SO: That is corr... ::blinks, stunned, as the Captain enters::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::looks up seeing the CO and stands at attention:: CO: Welcome back, sir.
XO_Taal says:
CO: Captain.
CMO_Kimura says:
::reads another incoming report:: *CO*:  Sorry to interrupt, sir, but a new report is in. In total, along with the five that died and 25 wounded, 12 crewmembers were lost but came back intact We are still missing 17 others. We still don’t know about personnel who were on the array.
SO_Randall says:
CO: Good to see you up and about, sir.
CO_Shras says:
ALL: Continue with the current topic
CEO_McDowell says:
::blinks, takes a step back, puzzled:: CO: Yes... Definitely good to see you. ::skeptical:: All: Not to be rude, but exactly when did the crewmembers and the Captain return?
CTO_Kizlev says:
::shifts himself at ease, listening to the CMO's comm::
XO_Taal says:
CEO: When we attempted to leave the area, we encountered disturbances and some of the crewmembers that were lost, returned.
CO_Shras says:
*CMO*: Thank..... I mean message received doctor, Shras out.
CTO_Kizlev says:
*CMO*: Does Ensign Rhianna Jakiel rank among those still missing, doctor?
CTO_Kizlev says:
::thinks his personal feelings just jumped the proverbial gun::
CMO_Kimura says:
*CTO*: Jakiel? Yes, she is one missing.
CEO_McDowell says:
::hunches over the controls, tapping some numbers into his model:: XO: What exact time was that, sir?
XO_Taal says:
CEO: Approximately half an hour ago, Lieutenant.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::sighs:: *CMO*: Much appreciated. Thank... ::smirks at the CO:: ...thank you, doctor. Kizlev out.
CEO_McDowell says:
::nods... enters the timestamp, watching the model shift:: All: There... ::points at some of the highlighted subspace "potholes":: As I believed, the Captain was most likely in one of the alternate subspace domains.
CMO_Kimura says:
::is puzzled as to why both the Captain and the CTO started to say 'thanks' but then drew out their statement...::
CEO_McDowell says:
All: We happened to hit the trailing border of the hole when we attempted to move, returning the Captain and most crew back to the ship. Exactly how, I'm not sure. My knowledge only goes so far in subspace mechanics
XO_Taal says:
CO: Captain, in your statement you said that you were on the Geneva.
CEO_McDowell says:
All: It's also important to note that these "holes" have different inter-dimensional "depths.” Our first encounter with an anomaly, which caused the system failures, was most likely a small, very shallow, wearing of the subspace domain... Probably recently formed from our own, or Commander Pierce's shuttle's, engines interacting with subspace.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::sits back down, looking to Shras for some sort of clue to begin a search for the missing crewmembers::
CNS_Bauer says:
::Runs diagnosis of ship's sensors. Would like to learn the fate of the array's crew::
CO_Shras says:
XO: Well, it was called that way alright, but Chief McDowell here would have said it wasn't our Geneva at all.....
CNS_Bauer says:
::Exterior sensors are still inoperative::
XO_Taal says:
CO: And you saw other people there.
Host Bob says:
ACTION: REPORTS BEGIN COMING IN ABOUT CREW SEEING MISSING CREWMEMBERS, WHO ARE THERE, YET AT THE SAME TIME, NOT THERE
Host Bob says:
ACTION: IN AT LEAST ONE INCIDENT, THE "MISSING" PARTS OF A CREWMEMBER VAGUELY REAPPEAR
CEO_McDowell says:
::finally realizes he's still standing, with hands on his seatback... quietly sits down to join the table discussion::
CNS_Bauer says:
*CO*: Sir, I'm getting reports from crew personnel stating they are seeing ghost like images of missing crewman or .....umm just parts of them?
XO_Taal says:
::raises an eyebrow::
CMO_Kimura says:
::turns quickly around in her seat:: CNS: PARTS???
XO_Taal says:
ALL: Parts? Of crewmembers? Did Ka... the Doctor not report that some crewmembers died due to missing 'parts?'
CO_Shras says:
ALL: This place is somehow connected to another universe but only in certain spots and we are passing through them....
CTO_Kizlev says:
CO: It must be the modified shields active. The realigned graviton nutation was designed to protect us from further distortions.
CNS_Bauer says:
CMO: Creepy, huh?
CMO_Kimura says:
CMO: Definitely...
CEO_McDowell says:
::scratches head, typing command at his table spot's command console::
CNS_Bauer says:
CMO: I think I'm going to have to clear some time in my schedule.
CO_Shras says:
ALL: We have to find a way to detect those pockets of the second universe and avoid them, if possible close the doors between both universes
CMO_Kimura says:
::nods:: CNS: Would be advisable...
CTO_Kizlev says:
XO: Perhaps we are within a distortion at this very second and the shields are preventing the crewmembers from fully materializing.
CEO_McDowell says:
CO: Correction, sir... Multiple universes. It depends on the "depth" of the "hole.”
SO_Randall says:
CEO: Should we launch a probe to gather more data or something?
CO_Shras says:
CEO: Are you sure about that?
CNS_Bauer says:
CMO: I wish something could be done for any survivors there might be over on the Array. Any ideas?
CEO_McDowell says:
CO: Hardly, sir. It's an educated guess.
CTO_Kizlev says:
CO: Captain, it's a risk, but perhaps we should temporarily lower the shields and determine if that has any effect on the materialization of those phasing crewmen.
CO_Shras says:
CEO: Multiple universes will be difficult to deal with
CEO_McDowell says:
::lets out a breath through his nose, deep in thought:: SO: You can try. I'm not sure what data it'll transmit back if it enters a hole, unless you know of a multi-dimensional transmitter we can put on it... or send it in with enough velocity that we know it will escape the hole.
CMO_Kimura says:
CNS: Well, if there ARE survivors... highly doubtful, though... we could send a medical team over there. Providing the area is stable enough to not let my team get sucked up into a million universes...
SO_Randall says:
CEO: Perhaps if we just launch a deactivated probe and see if it escapes this area of space. Find out if it would get caught in a hole or not?
CNS_Bauer says:
CMO: Sending a team might be to risky at this point. If only we could get sensors and the COM to work.
CEO_McDowell says:
CO: I will definitely agree with you there, sir. That's where my knowledge of subspace dynamics ends. In engineering, we're taught only that multiple subspace domains exist, not really how to deal with them.
CEO_McDowell says:
SO: That would be my guess, as of now.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::mumbles to himself:: Self: I wonder what that Kressari would do about this.... CO/XO/CEO: Excuse me. I'll be on the bridge.
CO_Shras says:
CEO: I was the Chief science officer of the ship before but physics never was my best subject
XO_Taal says:
CEO/SO: We have nothing to lose by launching a probe.
CNS_Bauer says:
::Manipulates some of the sensor programs and runs a simple vitals scan on the array. This should give us a count of living crewman::
Host Bob says:
ACTION: THE SIGHTINGS OF CREWMEMBERS OR SEMI-VISIBLE PARTS OF CREWMEMBERS CONTINUES
Host Bob says:
ACTION: HOWEVER, THE CREWMEMBERS THAT ARE BEING SIGHTED APPEAR TO BE DISTRAUGHT OR WORSE, LOSING THEIR TOUCH WITH REALITY
Host Bob says:
ACTION: SOME APPEAR TO HAVE LOST IT COMPLETELY AND HAVE GONE QUITE MAD
CTO_Kizlev says:
::walks onto the bridge and returns to his station:: TO: I understand you attended the Vulcan Science Academy before you became an officer, correct?
CEO_McDowell says:
::shrugs:: CO/XO/SO: I cede these investigations to the Science department. They're better trained to fill in the holes in the theory, pardon the allegory.
CTO_Kizlev says:
<TO K'Larn> CTO: You seek consultation on scientific matters, sir?
XO_Taal says:
*CNS*: Activate a Class I sensor probe and launch it.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::nods:: TO: Yes I do. About the distortions out there....
CNS_Bauer says:
*XO*: Aye, Sir. ::Carries out order::
XO_Taal says:
*CNS*: Inform me if the probe is able to leave this region of space.
CTO_Kizlev says:
<TO K'Larn> CTO: I have examined numerous tracking possibilities. Has the science officer considered the use of a veteron field yet?
CNS_Bauer says:
CTO: Lt. I'm getting reports of returning crewman who are experiencing psychological trauma from there ordeal. I'd like you to send a team to round up those folk and safely get them to sickbay.
CMO_Kimura says:
CNS: Guess I'd better get back to Sickbay, huh? ::smirks::
CNS_Bauer says:
CMO: I'll need your team there to receive the afflicted. I recommend sedation for now with restraints. It looks like the Geneva is run amuck with Crew similar to zombies.
CMO_Kimura says:
::gets up:: CMO: Aye, sir. I'll keep you posted on what's happening.
CTO_Kizlev says:
TO: No...I don't believe that has been mentioned yet. Present it to the captain for me if you will. CNS: I will look into it, sir. ::exits the bridge::
CNS_Bauer says:
CMO: Thanks. I'll be down as soon as I can.
CMO_Kimura says:
CNS: Right. ::turns and walks out of the bridge::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::holds the TL for the CMO::
Host Bob says:
ACTION: AS THE PROBE IS LAUNCHED AND AVOIDS SEVERAL DISTORTIONS, IT FINALLY STRIKES AGAINST ONE, AND THOSE CAUGHT IN THE INTERSTICIAL SPACE BETWEEN DIMENSIONS APPEAR TO SUFFER FOR IT
CMO_Kimura says:
CTO: Oh, thanks!
CMO_Kimura says:
::smiles::
SO_Randall says:
ALL: So if the probe idea works, maybe we can get out of here without hitting the potholes.
Host Bob says:
ACTION: WITH SOME OF THEM DRAGGED PARTLY BACK INTO THIS DIMENSION AND OTHERS DRAGGED INTO THE OTHER DIMENSION
CTO_Kizlev says:
::smiles warmly at Kimura:: Computer: Sickbay.
CMO_Kimura says:
CTO: Whew... all this death and destruction going on... I think I'm going to dye my hair back to black to set the mood!
CNS_Bauer says:
*XO*: Sir? The probe was launched It struck a distortion. Not good, Sir. What did you do? We have more casualties.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::arches both eyebrows at the doc:: CMO: The mood? You mean to celebrate?
XO_Taal says:
*CNS*: Thank you, Counselor.
CEO_McDowell says:
::listens to the CNS/XO conversation... returning to a blank-stare, thoughtful expression::
CNS_Bauer says:
*XO*: People were literally in multiple places at the same time, at least parts of them are.
XO_Taal says:
ALL: It appears that when matter from this dimension intersects with one of the distortions, it causes some sort of overlapping.
CMO_Kimura says:
CTO: I was implying that I'd look more morbid, but a sarcastic celebration is good too.
CEO_McDowell says:
::drumming fingers on the table, thinking::
CNS_Bauer says:
::Is horrified by his part in this horrific accident::
CEO_McDowell says:
All: If you were to tug at a loose thread in a garment... It would unravel part of the fabric. The probe... snagged a thread.
XO_Taal says:
ALL: Perhaps if we attempted to leave this region without the use of subspace propulsion and without hitting a distortion we would be successful.
CTO_Kizlev says:
*Security*: Have two man details go to each of the areas where the phased crewmembers are. I will investigate the two who are on deck 5. CMO: I see... human sarcasm still confuses me, even today. Even after years of exposure to it. ::chuckles softly::
CEO_McDowell says:
XO: Let's put it this way... Using anything subspace-related on board the ship would be unwise right now, sir.
XO_Taal says:
CEO: Shut down the ship? Run on minimal power?
CMO_Kimura says:
CTO: Here's our stop. ::exits the turbolift::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::the TL doors open up and sees a phased crewman looking frantic and maniacal approach::
