CTO Kostandinos
 ::at tactical::
 
TO Sharpe
 ::at Tactical as well::

CEO Michaels
 ::walks onto the bridge from Engineering and takes a seat in The Big Chair(tm)...thinking "boy this feels weird"::
   
CSO Lys
 :: at SCI noting the fifteenth comet in the last 5 hours... stifles  yawn ::
   
Coreena
 ::Heading up to the bridge, never quite sure how she felt being there.::

EO Davidson
 ::sits at the CEO station in engineering finishing some paperwork he was given:: Self: Sometimes I wonder why I am down here.
 
MO Bishop
 ::seated at one of the lab consoles, running some tests on the results of the samples she found last week::

FCO Knight
 ::Minds the CONN::

CTO Kostandinos
 CEO: Unidentified Federation ship on LRS

CMO Cutter
 ::snorts, swipes at her face and mumbles::

CEO Michaels
 CTO: Are they close enough to open hailing frequencies?

EO Davidson
 *CEO*: Routine Check of the Warp Systems have checked out........your babies are okay?
   
Coreena
 ::As the doors open, she looks in and sees the captain missing, but the CEO in the main chair.::

CEO Michaels
 *EO*: Thank you Lt., Engineering's all yours today, take good care of her.

CTO Kostandinos
 CEO: It's an old constellation class that's adrift... and yes, if we can see them, they're close enough to hail.
   
CSO Lys
 :: he smiles, then turns towards the TL to see Coreena enter ::

CEO Michaels
 FCO: Alter course to intercept the vessel.

EO Davidson
 *CEO*: Would never do anything to hurt her. Paper work is almost done to.

CEO Michaels
 OPS: Open hailing frequencies.
   
Coreena
 ::Steps a little bit more confidently into the room.  Catching Talan's smile, returns it::
   
CSO Lys
 :: turns back to his work and starts to analyze the ship ::
 
MO Bishop
 ::takes something from Nurse Abbott and nods... watches as Medic Murdoch eyes her::

FCO Knight
 CEO: Intercept course laid in.

CEO Michaels
 CTO/CSO: Try and find a match in our databases.
   
CSO Lys
 CEO: No life signs detected sir.
   
Coreena
 ::Moves quietly over to the OPS station and slips in behind the console::
 
MO Bishop
 ::turns her back to him and continues with what she's doing::

CTO Kostandinos
 CEO: I already said, it's an old constellation class Federation ship

CMO Cutter
 ::mashes her face against the cushion, snuggling into the blanket::

CEO Michaels
 CTO: What's her registry Commander?

EO Davidson
 ::cuts the comm and rubs his fore head a little: Self: Shouldn't have stayed up as late as I did last night.
   
CSO Lys
 CEO:  Databanks indicate that the vessel is over 100 years old
   
Coreena
 ::Looks the console over to make sure of the configuration::
 
MO Bishop
 :;watches the screen carefully.... making a few adjustments and noting the changes::
   
CSO Lys
 CEO: I can't find any damage battle or otherwise

CTO Kostandinos
 CEO: USS Hudson...  structurally sound

CTO Kostandinos
 CEO: Just drifting

CEO Michaels
 Coreena: Is there any report of a USS Hudson gone missing in this sector?

FCO Knight
 ::Slows the ship as they get closer to the other vessel::
   
Coreena
 CEO:  Let me check.

CTO Kostandinos
 CEO: It was reported missing 95 years ago

CEO Michaels
 CTO: Thank you Commander...circumstances?
   
Coreena
 ::Goes through the data base::
 
MO Bishop
 ::closes the screen finishing her tests for the day.... entering the data into the medical files::

EO Davidson
 ::wonders if he should put the damage control teams on hot stand by with the CEO in command::
   
Coreena
 ::Looks over at the CTO doubting if there had been any recent reports then.::
   
CSO Lys
 CEO: Commander... all of the escape pods are still intact

CTO Kostandinos
 CEO: It was never in this sector, while it was in service or when it was reported lost....

CEO Michaels
 Strange...so a derelict ship drifted all the way out here...CSO: Atmospheric reading, is her life support still operational?
 
MO Bishop
 ::notices someone standing close to her::
   
Coreena
 ::Turns and looks back at the ship on the screen::  CSO:  So are the power systems.  ::Looks back down at her console::

CTO Kostandinos
 ::scans on LRS to see if there are any anomalies that could have brought it from where it was to here, but finds nothing::
   
CSO Lys
 CEO: Scanning
 
MO Bishop
 ::looks up at the medic:: Murdoch: If you came to apologize... you can forget it.... :;moves away from him::
   
CSO Lys
 CEO: Life support is intact... I'm reading a breathable atmosphere and normal temperatures
 
MO Bishop
 ::heads to the CMO's office::

CMO Cutter
 ::obviously dreaming she swats at an imaginary hand, mumbling:: Not now...  headache...

CEO Michaels
 CSO: I'm not sure I want to send anyone over right away without knowing the circumstances of the crew's disappearance, can we link up to their computer system and examine logs?

EO Davidson
 *Damage Control Teams* Go to hot stand by.....The Chief's in command again. ::hears responses of moans and groans from the teams::
   
Coreena
 CEO:  Would you like me to hail them?
   
CSO Lys
 CEO:  Everything seems functional, we can give it a try 

CEO Michaels
 Coreena: Go ahead and try, though with no lifesigns aboard, I doubt we'll get a response.

CEO Michaels
 CSO: Make it so.
 
MO Bishop
 ::wonders where the CMO is::
   
Coreena
 ::nods and opens hailing frequencies::  COMM:  USS Hudson, this is the USS Hayden, please respond.
 
MO Bishop
 ::doesn't think to look on the couch...turns to leave and notices a sleeping form::
   
CSO Lys
 :: after a few moments Talan is able to link into the Hudson's computer ::   CEO:  I'm in sir... but this is very odd.

CMO Cutter
 ::sits bolt up, yelling:: Jason Michael Cutter don't you...

CEO Michaels
 CSO: Elaborate Commander.
 
MO Bishop
 ::nearly jumps out of her skin:: CMO: Ahh!

CMO Cutter
 ::trails off as she opens her eyes, realizing she was dreaming and has an audience::

CMO Cutter
 ::blushes::  MO: Uh.. ah.. morning?
   
CSO Lys
 :: looks up from his console towards the CEO ::  CEO:  The databanks, they are completely blank sir.
   
Coreena
 ::Listens, wondering if they might get a response::
 
MO Bishop
 ::smirks:: CMO: And a rough one at that..?
    
No One
 Comm: Hayden... we read you 10 by 10

CTO Kostandinos
 CEO/CSO: Are Starfleet ships databanks set to auto-delete after a certain amount of time, to prevent needless buildup of data?
   
Coreena
 CEO:  Sir...

CMO Cutter
 ::pulls the blanket over her head and then peeks out::  MO: Mmmmm.. yeah well...
   
Coreena
 ::Looks back::  CEO:  What is 10 by 10?
   
CSO Lys
 CTO: Not that I have ever heard of.

CMO Cutter
 MO: Other than hearing me yell at my husband in my sleep, was there something you needed?

CTO Kostandinos
 ::wonders who could have said that over the comm seeing as how there are no life signs::

CEO Michaels
 CTO: Not normally no, logs are the only way to find out about a ship in a situation just like this, usually they are all kept, just compressed or encoded.
   
CSO Lys
 :: turns and stares at OPS for a moment ::

CTO Kostandinos
 CEO/CSO: Then someone must have manually removed the information....
   
CSO Lys
 Coreena: Who was that?
 
MO Bishop
 ::grins:: CMO: It's alright Sir... your secret is safe with me.... I was going to head to the lounge ....::looks back over her shoulder at Murdoch::...take a quick break... is that alright?

CEO Michaels
 COMM: Hudson: We're reading you Hudson, please explain 10 by 10, we do not understand your reference.

CTO Kostandinos
 ::wonders what they wanted to hide::
   
Coreena
 CSO:  Someone from the Hudson.

EO Davidson
 ::taps at a few buttons and yawns:: Self:I hate quiet days

CSO Lys
 CTO:  It could be a catastrophic systems failure also... there are a few possibilities

CMO Cutter
 ::scrubs at her face with the palms of her hands, trying to wake up:: MO: Sure.. ::catches the look:: Um.. everything okay?
   
CSO Lys
 :: repeats his scans of the vessel ::
 
MO Bishop
 ::smiles sweetly:: CMO: Nothing I can't handle... can I bring you back anything?

CEO Michaels
 ::frowns::  Coreena: Is the comm channel still active?
   
Coreena
 ::Checks::  CEO:  Yes.
   
CSO Lys
 CEO:  I'm still no reading any lifesigns on that ship sir.

CMO Cutter
 ::doesn't quite buy that since the 'smiling sweetly' thing was her usual fake out:: MO: Uh huh.. No, I'm fine.  Go.  Enjoy your break.
   
Coreena
 CEO:  Shall I try again?

CEO Michaels
 Coreena: Please do...

EO Davidson
 ::gets up and climbs up a ladder to upper engineering and begins a check on his engine design::

CEO Michaels
 CSO: Any anomalous energy signatures?
 
MO Bishop
 ::nods:: CMO: Thank you Doctor... I won't be long.... you know where to find me if you need me
   
Coreena
 ::Nods and turns back to her console::  COMM:  Hudson, this is the USS Hayden.  What does 10 by 10 mean?

CEO Michaels
 *EO*: Lt., I've got a research project for you, find out anything and everything you can about the disappearance of one USS Hudson.
   
CSO Lys
 :: completes a detailed energy scan of the vessel ::

CMO Cutter
 ::nods::
    
No One
 COMM: Hayden: Who’s that soooo sweet voice?... 10 by 10..... like ... loud and clear?

EO Davidson
 *CEO*: Sir? What is the USS Hudson?
   
CSO Lys
 :: shakes his head to the CEO indicating nothing unusual yet ::

CEO Michaels
 *EO*: Constellation class ship, that we've just found after 95 years gone missing.
 
MO Bishop
 ::heads out of sickbay quickly and quietly::
   
Coreena
 COMM:  Hudson:  So 10 by 10 means loud and clear?  Interesting.  I am Coreena.  My CEO would like to talk with you.

EO Davidson
 ::closes his file::*CEO* That was one of my hobby's in the Academy sir. I loved the old style ships. I will get right on it

CEO Michaels
 COMM: Hudson: This is the USS Hayden, Lt. Cmdr. Brynn Michaels in command.  If I may ask sir, how did you come to be in this sector of space?
 
MO Bishop
 ::walks down the hallway talking to herself::
   
CSO Lys
 :: sends a message to Coreena's console "Can you feel anything from that ship?" ::

CTO Kostandinos
 CEO: Sir, it appears that he only responds when Coreena speaks to him...   maybe she should ask him that question
   
Coreena
 ::Read the message and looks up at the screen::

CEO Michaels
 CTO: Thank you for the suggestion Commander.

CTO Kostandinos
 :;resents having to call Brynn "sir" but he's in command so it's kind of necessary::

CMO Cutter
 ::rubs her eyes, trying decide if she should go back to sleep again or not.  Seemed like a really good idea....::

CEO Michaels
 Coreena: I don't think they like me, why don't you try and communicate with them, find out how they came to be here, but don't mention the wiped databanks and missing crew just yet.
   
Coreena
 ::Types back a message to Talan::  No...
 
MO Bishop
 ::nearly knocks over an unsuspecting engineering officer:: Eng: Oh my... I'm so sorry!....::blushes::

EO Davidson
 *CEO*: Sir I have something here.....it was commanded by a Henry Masterson.....Lost just outside of Sector 001 2 days after launch. Presumed exploded or something. no trace was ever found
   
Coreena
 CEO:  OK...
   
CSO Lys
 :: furls his brow as he starts going over the possibilities ::
   
Coreena
 COMM:  Hudson:  Do you know how you came to be here?

CEO Michaels
 *EO*: 2 days...talk about your short command...thank you for the information Lt.
   
CSO Lys
 :: analyzes the hull of the ship for signs of aging  - see if it confirms the 95 years in the record ::
 
MO Bishop
 <Eng>MO: It's alright Ensign....::grins warmly down at her::
    
No One
 COMM: Hayden: Sweet thang... to be honest... I'm not really sure where "here" is

EO Davidson
 *CEO*:Your welcome. Is there anything we can do from down here?

CEO Michaels
 Coreena: Go ahead and give them their coordinates and the system we're in.
 
MO Bishop
 ::watches him from behind as he walks off:: Self: Hmm... I'll have to make it a point to bump into you more often....::

CTO Kostandinos
 ::raises her eyebrows at the "ghost" from the Hudson hitting on Coreena ::

CEO Michaels
 CSO: Are there any temporal anomalies in the area, or increased tachyon emissions?

CTO Kostandinos
 CEO: I already scanned for that, it's negative
   
CSO Lys
 Self:  Okay, one question down... lets try the next.  :: analyzes the hull for any signs of molecular breakdown consistent with dimensional shifts ::
   
CSO Lys
 CEO:  Sensors haven't picked up anything out of the usual sir.
   
Coreena
 COMM:  Hudson:  You are at ::Looks over at the FCO's console::  235 mark 35.2.

CEO Michaels
 CTO/CSO: Thank you commanders.   ::grins::
    
No One
 COMM: Really? Cool... wonder how I got there......

EO Davidson
 *CMO*: Doctor....can you send your MO down here with a hypo for a headache.....I have on king size one right now.
   
CSO Lys
 Self:  Okay - no time travel - no dimensional shift - out of phase maybe?  I remember reading something on that in a paper by... who was it... LaForge, that's it  :: scans the ship for signs of phase shifting ::

Coreena
 COMM:  Hudson: How you did?  Who are you?
 
MO Bishop
 ::heads into the lounge and gets a coffee as soon as she enters::
    
No One
 COMM: Well now sweetie... I'm not really sure of that either....

CEO Michaels
 Coreena: Ask him where he last remembers being, and what his current assignment is...and the stardate.  ::thinks to himself "though I hope he comes back with our stardate::

CEO Michaels
 ::tries not to let his frustration show at having to communicate through Coreena::

CMO Cutter
 ::wonders why the EO thinks her staff makes house calls for things as mundane as headaches:: *EO* That’s not really possible at the moment.  If you feel that badly then come to sickbay and someone will help you out.  My staff doesn't make house calls for non-emergencies

Coreena
 COMM:  Hudson:  You don't know who you are either?  Do you have amnesia... ::Looks back at the CEO briefly::  What is the last thing you remember?
 
MO Bishop
 ::gets an apple muffin and sits for a few moments::

EO Davidson
 *CMO*: I know I know.......But I just thought we had a caring medical staff that’s all ::smiles sweetly know that the CMO could not see it::
    
No One
 COMM: Hayden: A real sweet voice saying hello......

CMO Cutter
 ::snorts, biting her tongue:: *EO* You were wrong.
   
Coreena
 COMM:  Hayden, you mean you just remember me calling you?  ::Confused::

EO Davidson
 *CMO*: I'll be there in a few minuets. Davidson out. ::gets up and leaves another Lt. in charge till I get back::

CEO Michaels
 ::walks over to the CSO::  This is getting us nowhere...take over an away team, you, Ashlynn, and our new MO, find out what you can, and report back periodically.
    
No One
 COMM: Hayden: Bingo! Give the lady a ceegar!
   
Coreena
 COMM:  Do I want a ceegar?
   
CSO Lys
 :: nods ::
   
Coreena
 ::Turns to the CEO::  CEO:  Sir... he said he just remembers my voice talking to him.
   
CSO Lys
 :: motions to the CTO to join him in the TL ::
 
MO Bishop
 ::is really enjoying her muffin and coffee::
    
No One
 COMM: Darlin’ I don't know.... but I feel like I could kill for one about now
   
CSO Lys
 *MO* Doctor, please met the CTO and me in TR1 in 3 minutes for away mission 

EO Davidson
 ::enters Sickbay:: All: Anyone home?

CTO Kostandinos
 CSO/CEO: This may sound completely crazy, but did you ever think that it might be the computer talking to us?  I mean, we have no lifesigns yet something is speaking...
   
Coreena
 COMM:  Maybe our CSO can get you one.  I will ask him.
   
CSO Lys
 CTO:  But from what program... the databanks are wiped clean
 
MO Bishop
 ::mouth full of muffin:: *CSO*: Oh motuh wayy...

FCO Knight
 ::Yawns a bit . Happy that he has the only seat that faces away from every one else on the Bridge to do that::

CEO Michaels
 Coreena: Give me an analysis of that signal, see if you can determine its origin.

CTO Kostandinos
 CSO: If it were the computer... and this is stretching it, because I've never known them to go sentient... if the computer is talking, couldn't it have also made it appear to us that there was no data to be had?
 
MO Bishop
 ::takes a swig of coffee and reanswers:: *CSO*: Sorry Sir... I mean on my way...::wipes mouth and brings stuff to the recycler::

CTO Kostandinos
 ::while walking to the TL::
   
Coreena
 CSO:  Talan, he would like a Ceegar if you can take one with you.
   
Coreena
 CEO:  It is from the ship.
   
CSO Lys
 :: gives Coreena a confused look as the TL doors close ::
   
CSO Lys
 CTO:  I guess we can't rule it out.  Just have to see what we find.
 
MO Bishop
 ::heads to the TR::
 
MO Bishop
 TR: Sickbay

FCO Knight
 Coreena: That's cigar, love.
   
CSO Lys
 :: exits the TL and heads to the TR - grabbing his gear and getting on the platform ::

CEO Michaels
 Coreena: But can you distinguish whether it's a person or a computer generating the voice pattern?
   
Coreena
 FCO:  Cigar?  What is that?

EO Davidson
 ::sees no one at the moment so he leaves:: Self: Well I guess I will have to deal with it
 
MO Bishop
 :: feels the lift come to a halt and heads to sickbay and gets her basic medikit and medical tricorder::

CTO Kostandinos
 :: Stands on the platform with the CSO, waiting for the others::
   
Coreena
 CEO:  The readings say the pattern is humanoid.

EO Davidson
 MO: Morning Ensign. ::enters the TL:: TL: Bridge
 
TO Sharpe
 Coreena: its something you smoke, though i haven’t seen one for a long time
   
CSO Lys
 CTO:  We'll start on the bridge - agreed?

CTO Kostandinos
 CSO: Sounds good to me
   
Coreena
 TO:  Smoke?  You put it in the grill and smoke it?

FCO Knight
 Coreena/TO: Dad kept a bunch o' 'em.
 
MO Bishop
 ::nods to the EO in passing...notes the CMO snoozing on her couch again...grabs her stuff and goes::::
   
CSO Lys
 :: waiting :: CTO: Perhaps we should suggest to the CMO that away team medical supplies be kept in the transporter room to speed up things.
    
No One
 Action: the AT materializes on an eerily empty bridge

EO Davidson
 ::holds the TL:: MO: Need a lift?

CEO Michaels
 FCO: I'm sure nothing will come of it, but scan for any ion signatures in the area, I want to know if anyone else has been here before us.
   
Coreena
 CEO:  Shall I ask him anything else?

FCO Knight
 CEO: It's worth a shot, mate. Scanning.

CTO Kostandinos
 @::laughs:: CSO: That too, sounds like a good idea  ::looks around the bridge for a computer console::
   
CSO Lys
 @ COM:Hayden: We have arrived on the Hudson sir... nothing to report so far.
    
No One
 Action: the tardy MO arrives on the bridge

CTO Kostandinos
 @ ::goes over to one of the consoles and tries to access any information that might be left in the ship's main computer at all::

EO Davidson
 ::gets outs on the bridge and goes to the engineering station just to check something out:: CEO: Morning commander

CEO Michaels
 Coreena: See if you can get him to access his computer logs to determine where he's been.

Coreena
 CEO:  OK...

CEO Michaels
 EO: Lt...I trust everything is going well.
   
CSO Lys
 @ CTO: Systems all seem operable.  Just nothing in the databanks
 
MO Bishop
 @ ::appears after everyone else and looks around sheepishly::

CTO Kostandinos
 @::self:: Damn....
 
MO Bishop
 @::whips out her medical tricorder and sets to work::

CEO Michaels
 COM: AT: Understood Commander, keep in touch...and 'Lynn, keep a watch out, I don't trust this one bit.
   
Coreena
 COMM: Hudson:  Sir... ::Pauses::  it would be nice if you had a name.  Do you have any computer logs to help us help you?

FCO Knight
 CEO: No one else's been 'ere, sir.
   
CSO Lys
 @ MO: Anything Doctor?

EO Davidson
 CEO:Lt Iola is in charge. Had something up here I wanted to check.....oh and here ::hands him a PADD marking 99.9% of the paper work is gone from his desk:: All they need is your authorization and they are done
 
MO Bishop
 @::shakes head:: CSO: Nothing Yet, Sir...

CTO Kostandinos
 @::has a tricorder in one hand and phaser set on stun in another:: CEO: See if you can get Coreena to find out where on the Ship this guy is.

CEO Michaels
 ::looks at the padd in astonishment::  EO: Careful Lt., you do this good a job more than once, and I might be making the paperwork your permanent duty.  ::grins::
 
MO Bishop
 @CSO: In fact... I'm not even picking up anything so microscopic as a germ.... there aren't any biosigns at all
   
CSO Lys
 @ CTO/MO:  Lets start deck by deck then... good thing the lift is working.
   
CSO Lys
 @ MO: Nothing at all.... that's strange.

CTO Kostandinos
 @CSO: Aye
   
Coreena
 ::Frowns as she gets no reply::  COMM:  Hudson:  Are you still there?

EO Davidson
 CEO:I don’t think so.....I ain’t always gonna save your carcass. She's a beauty ::points to the viewer::
   
CSO Lys
 @COM: Hayden: Nothing on the bridge, we are starting a deck by deck search

CEO Michaels
 EO: Old piece of junk if you ask me, she wouldn't last long these days.
   
CSO Lys
 @ :: gets in the lift, figures out how to work it, and sets it for deck 2 ::
 
MO Bishop
 @CSO: Agreed.... you'd think if there was a crew here I'd get some kind of residual trace....
   
Coreena
 ::Looks saddened::  CEO:  Lys says there is nothing on the bridge, and now the other won't talk to me.

CEO Michaels
 COM: AT: CTO: We've lost contact with the Hudson, I can't get you the Captain's location...or much else at this point.
 
MO Bishop
 @CSO: I'll check out sickbay Sir... there might be something there to tell me what's going on....

CTO Kostandinos
 @CEO: Roger that, we’ll have to do this the hard way then

FCO Knight
 Self: Ol' ghost ships gimme the creeps.

EO Davidson
 CEO: Not now a days no. But when she was in her prime she was most likely the most advanced ship. ::whistles:: What I wouldn't give to see there engine room
   
CSO Lys
 @ MO: Negative... I don't want anyone going off alone.

CEO Michaels
 Coreena: Keep the channel open, and monitor it for any incoming signals.
   
Coreena
 CEO:  Maybe he left because they came... maybe he is afraid of them?
    
No One
 Action: the Hudson’s warp core begins warm up procedures
   
CSO Lys
 @ MO: We'll get there in time

FCO Knight
 CEO: The Hudson's warp core began start up.
 
MO Bishop
 @CSO: With all due respect, Sir. If there isn't anyone on board... I hardly think there is much to worry about....

EO Davidson
 CEO:I  though that thing was deserted

CEO Michaels
 EO: As did I Lt.
   
CSO Lys
 @ MO: Noted... but still negative :: sees the lights get brighter ::
 
MO Bishop
 @CSO: Aye, Sir...

CEO Michaels
 COM: AT: We've just registered the warp core powering up, did you guys do something over there?
   
Coreena
 ::Quietly::  COMM:  Hudson:  You don't need to be afraid, we are here to help you.
   
CSO Lys
 @ CTO/MO: I think we should make our way to engineering... quickly.
 
MO Bishop
 @::nods and follows the CSO::

CTO Kostandinos
 @ ::goes to a console on the wall of deck 2:: COM: CEO: Yeah, I can confirm, but no we didn't do anything

EO Davidson
 ::takes the engineering station:: Computer: Establish a link up with the Hudson Engineering Computer Core or main computer core.

CTO Kostandinos
 @COM: CEO: Now all the systems are starting to power up, one by one

CTO Kostandinos
 @ ::following the CSO/MO::
   
Coreena
 COMM:  Hudson:  Don't you want your ceegar?

CTO Kostandinos
 @COM: CEO: ETA to full operating capacity is 7 minutes...  after that who knows what this guy will do with the ship...
   
CSO Lys
 @ :: arrives in Engineering to see all the lights a flashing ::

CEO Michaels
 FCO: If their shields go up we won't be able to get the team back....prepare a tractor beam, if the Hudson even inches away from us, I want her detained.
 
MO Bishop
 @::looks around:: CSO/CTO: What the....?

EO Davidson
 ::checks antimatter storage::
   
CSO Lys
 @ MO: Do you get the same readings down here - nothing?

FCO Knight
 CEO: Tractor beam on standby and at your command, Commander.

CTO Kostandinos
 @::following the CSO/MO into engineering - on a whim, calls out:: Anyone: Hello?
 
MO Bishop
 @::flips open her tricorder and runs her diagnostics::

CEO Michaels
 Coreena: Are you reading any lifesigns over there yet, someone has to be powering those systems.
   
CSO Lys
 @ CTO:  See if you can find anything on the computers down here

EO Davidson
 CEO: Sir I have established a link up. They have full reserves. ::check their warp matrix:: I can attempt to take there engines off line.....but I don’t know if it will work
 
MO Bishop
 @CSO: Yes, Sir... it's still the same.... nothing biological at all....

CEO Michaels
 EO: Do it, I don't want them getting away with our crew.

FCO Knight
 CEO: Respectfully suggest we beam 'em out now, though.

EO Davidson
 CEO:I might and might not be able to do it from here......I just don’t know

CTO Kostandinos
 @::moves to a computer console:: Hudson Computer: Computer, who or what just turned on all the systems?

CEO Michaels
 Coreena: Pull up the prefix codes for the USS Hudson, if they raise shields, I want to be able to drop them without tactical maneuvers.
   
CSO Lys
 @ MO: Scan for residue from anything that could have been used to sterilize the ship
   
Coreena
 ::nods and pulls up the old command codes::

CEO Michaels
 FCO: Suggestion noted...let's give them a few more minutes.
   
Coreena
 CEO:  Oh, and I read only the AT over there.

EO Davidson
 ::tries to get into the core ejection subroutines::
    
No One
 <Computer> the systems are being restarted by your orders
 
MO Bishop
 @CSO: Aye Sir....::reconfigures her tricorder and scans::

CEO Michaels
 COMM: AT: How much longer till she's at full capacity?

EO Davidson
 ::tries to tell the computer that there is a catastrophic core breech and tell the computer to eject the core::

CTO Kostandinos
 @Computer: My orders?  Fine... then shut down the warp core only ::as a test, to see if it really works::
   
Coreena
 ::Punches in a few commands then shakes her head at the results::  CEO:  They are not on file.
   
CSO Lys
 @ COM: Hayden: 3 minutes sir

CEO Michaels
 Coreena: Remind me to strangle Starfleet Bureau of Records for losing them then.
    
No One
 Action: a massive surge destroys the computer link and fries half of the EO's console
   
Coreena
 CEO:  OK... I will remind you later.

EO Davidson
 ::covers eyes:: Self: Damn!

CEO Michaels
 COMM: AT: CSO: Too close, get your team out of there, I'm not risking losing you to a crewless ship.
   
Coreena
 ::Turns around quickly::
   
CSO Lys
 @ CTO: Anything?
   
CSO Lys
 @ COMM: Hayden: Aye sir... preparing to return
   
CSO Lys
 @ CTO/MO:  You heard him, let’s go
    
No One
 Action: the warp core goes into standby

CTO Kostandinos
 @CSO: Nothing yet - it says we ordered the ship to power up though... damn....

CTO Kostandinos
 @CSO: I just told it to power down the warp core and it did... apparently it's listening to us now
 
MO Bishop
 @CSO: I'm not getting any kind of cleaning agent in here sir.... this ship is totally pristine.... untouched

CEO Michaels
 TO: Standby weapons...I don't want to fire on them, but if we have to, we'll disable them.
   
Coreena
 ::Stands up and goes over to him::  EO:  Are you alright?

EO Davidson
 ::looks at his hands:: Self: Ouchie.....
 
TO Sharpe
 CEO: Yes sir
   
CSO Lys
 @COM: Hayden:  The ship seems to be responding to voice command, the CTO got the core to standby mode - permission to stay
   
Coreena
 ::Pulls out one of the medical kits::  EO:  Here...

EO Davidson
 Correena: Yeah....nothing like a few minuets on a dermal regenerator and i will be fine.....
   
Coreena
 ::Opens the kit and beings to pull out a cream to apply::

FCO Knight
 EO: You OK, Jay?
 
TO Sharpe
 CEO: Shall I set yellow alert then?

CTO Kostandinos
 @::on a hunch:: CSO: Why don't you, personally, try to tell it to power the warp core back up... I want to test something

CEO Michaels
 COM: AT: All right Commander, but anything starts to happen that could strand you there, and I want you back topside ASAP.
   
CSO Lys
 @COM: Hayden:  Aye sir. 

EO Davidson
 CEO: That ship just shorted out my console......I Would like permission to go over there and check there Engineering systems out.

Coreena
 ::Applies the cream::  EO:  This will work for now.

FCO Knight
 ::Swivels chair to face the explosion::
   
CSO Lys
 @ CTO: Okay..  Computer, restart warp core

EO Davidson
 Coreena: Thanks....Its better now.

CEO Michaels
 TO: Negative, I don't want our shields raised in case we need an emergency transport
   
Coreena
 EO:  Your welcome.  ::Replaces the supplies and puts the medkit back::

CTO Kostandinos
 @CSO: No response... just what I thought... it's listening only to female voices.
  
CSO Lys
 @ :: nods as he sees where the CTO is going :: CTO: Shall we have the MO try.

CEO Michaels
 EO: I'm afraid not, it's too much of an unknown at the moment, do what you can from the auxiliary console, just don't link to their computer, we learned that lesson.
 
TO Sharpe
 CEO: aye sir

CTO Kostandinos
 @CSO: We could, but I think we'd get the same answer... let's try something different
 
TO Sharpe
 ::sets Weapons to standby::
 
MO Bishop
 @CTO: Then in that case, it should respond to me as well....

CTO Kostandinos
 @Hudson Computer: Who was talking on your comm to the woman on the USS Hayden?
   
Coreena
 ::Goes back to her seat and cajoling who ever she spoke to on the Hudson::

EO Davidson
 CEO: Aye. But I don’t know what I can do with out a link. ::shakes his hands:: 

CTO Kostandinos
 @MO: Exactly...  but now it's not responding to me either
   
CSO Lys
 @ CTO: Maybe it doesn't like the question

FCO Knight
 ::Turns back around to his console::

CTO Kostandinos
 @CSO: Took the words right out of my mouth ::grins::
   
CSO Lys
 @ CTO:  See if it can display any comm records

CEO Michaels
 COMM: AT: CSO:  Since you appear to have the ship under control for the moment, head up to the bridge and set course for Starbase 152, we'll be able to better study her from there.  The Hayden will provide close escort in case any trouble arises.

CTO Kostandinos
 @Hudson Computer: Display comm records from the past 48 standard hours on my console::
   
CSO Lys
 @ COMM: Hayden: Understood

CTO Kostandinos
 @ ::wonders what all of it means::

EO Davidson
 CEO: Sorry about being eager sir.....just don’t see those everyday
   
Coreena
 ::Sits back with a sigh as she gets no further reply::
   
CSO Lys
 @ CTO/MO:  Guess we are the taxi service, lets get this old ship moving :: heads out to the bridge ::
 
MO Bishop
 @::grins at the CSO's remark:: CSO: Oh great... a finicky ship....

CEO Michaels
 Coreena: The universe felt so much more safe when you were the only sentient starship out there.

CTO Kostandinos
 @CSO: No Comm records, we still don't know who was talking to us

CEO Michaels
 EO: Well once we get back to starbase, I'll let you at her Lt.
   
Coreena
 CEO:  I am not a starship... but do you think the ship is sentient?

EO Davidson
 CEO: Thank you sir. I would really like a chance to check out her engines.

CEO Michaels
 FCO: Set course for Starbase 152, escort formation.

CEO Michaels
 Coreena: Let's hope not...

FCO Knight
 ::Shakes head at the prospect of two sentient ships in the fleet::
   
Coreena
 ::Kind of hopes it is::

FCO Knight
 CEO:Aye.
