CSO Lys
 :: at SCI running routine scans ::

CTO Kostandinos
 ::at TAC::
 
MO Bishop
 ::enters an unusually empty sickbay::
   
XO Skye
 ::Feels good to be back aboard.  She wonders how much people know.::
   
XO Skye
 Department Heads: Report.
 
MO Bishop
 ::pauses just inside the doors:: SB: Hello?
  
OPS Sato
 ::Fine tunes the subspace relays to receive the communiqué better.  Turns. :: XO: We're receiving an unusual communiqué sir.  I've tuned the subspace relays as best as I can.
   
XO Skye
 OPS: On screen.

EO Davidson
 ::rings the "doorbell" at the CEO's Office Door::
   
CSO Lys
 XO:  All sensors operational - nothing to report.
  
OPS Sato
 ::Turns to the XO.:: XO: Sorry, voice only... ::Opens the channel.:: Channel open sir.
   
XO Skye
 ::Nods her thanks to OPS::

CEO Michaels
 EO: Since when do you knock?  Come on in, what's up?
  
OPS Sato
 ::Listens to the message and shakes his head, tunes it more as some of it comes out.:: XO: They're requesting help sir. ::Shakes his head.:: It's very broken up... 
   
XO Skye
 OPS: Location of the message?
 
MO Bishop
 ::steps further inside when a head pops up from behind a biobed:: <Medic Manning> MO: Hello. ::grins::

EO Davidson
 CEO: Since now sir.  Here are the latest status report and engineer evaluation reports.
  
OPS Sato
 ::Taps at his controls.:: XO: Triangulating location fix now sir.

EO Davidson
 ::piles another half dozen PADD's on his desk and grins::
 
MO Bishop
 ::nearly jumps out of her skin and lets off a small gasp:: Manning: Good heavens! Don't do that to a girl. ::lays a hand to her chest::

OPS Sato
 ::Turns to the XO.:: XO: Having a bit of trouble. ::Looks to the CTO.:: The CTO probably will have a better location fix.

CTO Kostandinos
 XO:  Sensors pinpoint it to a small planet 1-2 ly away.

CEO Michaels
 EO: Oh lovely, I don't know whether to [praise] you on a job well done, or kill you for all the paperwork.  ::grins::
   
CSO Lys
 :: trains LRS on the source ::
   
XO Skye
 CTO: In you best determination, is that the source of the message?

CTO Kostandinos
 XO: Yes
 
MO Bishop
 <Manning> MO: Sorry, I was just working on the power supply under this biobed. ::grins sheepishly::

EO Davidson
 CEO: Well it's totally up to you, but if I were you I would do both.  Mind if I sit down? ::motions to a chair::
 
SM Phil
 Action: Com signal is lost.
   
CSO Lys
 XO: I'm detecting a great deal of seismic activity on the source planet Commander.
  
OPS Sato
 ::Turns around and goes back to monitoring the communiqué.:: XO: We've lost the signal sir.

XO Skye
 OPS: Slave the Helm to your console and take us into standard orbit [of] the planet.

XO Skye
 CSO: Mr. Lys, how many people are on the surface of that planet?

CSO Lys
 XO: One moment… :: confirming the scans ::
 
SM Phil
 [Action: As they approach, the Hayden begins to shake and then her warp field collapses.]

CEO Michaels
 EO: Praise you and then kill you?  Now there's an idea.  ::laughs::  Have a seat.  What's on your mind?  ::shoves the padds aside::
  
OPS Sato
 ::Taps at his controls.::
   
CSO Lys
 XO: I'm reading roughly 1500 inhabitants.
 
MO Bishop
 ::lets out a sigh:: Manning: Well, do it a little more loudly would you? So I know you're there?  ::heads off into the office::

EO Davidson
 ::looks at the Commander with a glare of horror:: CEO: What the? ::jumps up and out of the office::
   
XO Skye
 CSO: What's the source of the seismic activity?

CEO Michaels
 EO: I lose more good Engineers that way.  ::shakes his head::  EO: You coming back Lt., it's safe.
   
XO Skye
 ::Holds onto her seat as the ship begins to shake.::
   
XO Skye
 OPS: What, pray tell, is going on?
   
CSO Lys
 XO:  I'm not positive but :: pauses for a moment :: the planet's magnetic field, it's reading off the scale.
 
MO Bishop
 ::raises his eyebrows:: <Manning> MO: Uhhh.... okay. ::shrugs and goes back to work::

EO Davidson
 ::runs to his console in engineering:: CEO: Sir, our warp field has collapsed.

MO Bishop
 :;braces herself against a wall::
   
XO Skye
 CSO: See if you can re-establish a protective bubble around the ship, similar to a warp bubble.  One that will protect us against what I can only imagine is the same magnetic field problem the planet is having.
  
OPS Sato
 ::Holds onto his console as the ship rocks.:: XO: Not sure at the moment. ::Reaches over and taps on his console, trying to find out what's going on.::
 
MO Bishop
 ::wonders what's going on up there on the bridge::

CEO Michaels
 ::gets up calmly and walks into the main room:: EO: What'd you do this time Davidson?
   
XO Skye
 OPS: Send a message back to SF command informing them of the problem with the planet and our situation as well.
   
CSO Lys
 :: compares current systems status with historical surveys :: XO:  The increased magnetic fields have pushed the planet's moon out of its orbit.  The gravitational effects are what are causing the earthquakes.

EO Davidson
 CEO: I can't seem to find the cause and it wasn't me. Someone up there probably broke the ship again. ::points up towards the bridge::
   
XO Skye
 CSO: Well isn't that lovely, any suggestions?
  
OPS Sato
 ::Turns to the XO and nods.  Then turns back to his console and quickly enters the message to Starfleet Command and informs them of the situation.:: XO: Message sent sir.
   
CSO Lys
 XO: Aye, I'll coordinate with engineering
 
MO Bishop
 ::manages to fall into the seat behind the desk to do some work::

CTO Kostandinos
 XO: The planet is a pre-warp society, no major industry or technology.
   
CSO Lys
 XO:  I'm not sure what is causing the magnetic field change.  Until we can find that, I'm not sure.
   
XO Skye
 OPS: See if you can back us away to a safe distance to stop this INFERNAL SHAKING!

CEO Michaels
 *XO*: What'd you do to my ship today Sam?
   
CSO Lys
 *CEO*:  Commander, there is a gigantic amount of magnetic flux in this area.  Can we boost shields to compensate and insulate the ship?
   
XO Skye
 CTO: Well no contact then.  Whatever we do, we have to do it without them knowing.

CEO Michaels
 *CSO*: I'll see what I can do.

EO Davidson
 CEO: Also the IDF Systems seem to be out of whack.
  
OPS Sato
 ::Nods and quickly reroutes more power to the internal inertial dampeners, then maneuvers the ship back after scanning for a good flight path.::
   
XO Skye
 *CEO*: Blame the planet's fluxing magnetic field, Mr. Michaels.  Your presence on the bridge might prove helpful.

EO Davidson
 ::recalibrates the IDF and boosts power to the SIF::

CEO Michaels
 EO: Reroute auxiliary power through conduit junction D5 to the shield matrix.

OPS Sato
 ::Shakes his head as he sees a problem with the IDF systems.::
   
CSO Lys
 <PO Parli> :: down below ::  *CSO*:  Sir, perhaps you should look at this simulation.  :: sends it to SCI ::

EO Davidson
 CEO: I will have to crawl threw some jefferies tubes to do it, but aye.  And what may be the point sir?

CEO Michaels
 EO: Take the helm down here, I'll be on the bridge if you need me.

CEO Michaels
 ::heads for the turbolift::
   
XO Skye
 CSO/OPS: Coordinate with each other to see if you can determine the reason behind the magnetic field's shift.

SM Phil
 Action: An EPS relay to port shields fails on deck 7. Radiation levels begin to climb.
   
CSO Lys
 :: reads the report :: XO:  Commander, this isn't good.  The gravitational effects from the moon are growing and will destroy the planet in roughly 18 hours.

CEO Michaels
 ::arrives on the bridge::
   
XO Skye
 CSO:  Well Mr. Lys, another day on the job.  Find me an answer to save the lives of all 1500 people on that planet.  Shouldn't be too hard, now should it?

EO Davidson
 ::grabs his tool kit and begins to crawl threw the jefferies tubes::
  
OPS Sato
 ::Turns slightly, still looking at his console as he sends a message to Engineering that they've having problems with the IDF and SIF systems, knowing full well they're probably already on the repairs.::  XO: Backing away sir.  We're having a bit of problems with the IDF and SIF systems.
   
CSO Lys
 XO:  Its always minor miracles on this ship, isn't it?  :: sets to work ::
   
XO Skye
 OPS: I was noticing that, Mr. Sato. CEO: Let's see what we can do to repair those, Brynn.

CEO Michaels
 XO: So what trouble are we in this time. ::Stands in front of the engineering console on the bridge::
 
SM Phil
 Action: The shaking subsides to only a slight rattle as the Hayden backs away.

CEO Michaels
 XO: On it ma'am.
   
XO Skye
 CEO: Same old, same old.  Can't communicate with a society that is in imminent danger of total annihilation.  It's up to us to save them.  Next question?
   
CSO Lys
 :: runs through several possibilities, discarding them all ::

EO Davidson
 ::gets stopped by a force field:: Self: Dang it. *Bridge*: I am in jefferies tube J7 alpha, just below deck [7].  What's happened up there?

CEO Michaels
 XO: Why us?  ::shrugs::

CEO Michaels
 ::reroutes some power to boost the IDF and SIF, while he assigns repair teams to the sections::
  
OPS Sato
 ::Slows the ship down.:: XO: Looks like this is as good as it gets sir.  All stop?
   
XO Skye
 CEO: Wouldn't be the Hayden if we had an easy day.
   
XO Skye
 OPS: All stop.
   
CSO Lys
 :: scans the planet for any signs of recent meteor strikes or like phenomenon ::

EO Davidson
 Computer: Did the bridge receive my comm?
  
OPS Sato
 ::Taps in the commands for all stop in the console.:: XO: Systems registering all stop.
   
XO Skye
 OPS: Excellent, keep me apprised of any problems as they surface.  Somehow I doubt this is the only one we'll deal with today.
  
OPS Sato
 ::Sighs to himself.:: XO: You can rest assured that I will sir. ::Taps on his console, performing various tasks as well as Flight Control.::

CEO Michaels
 *EO*: Jay just take care of things down there, I'll worry about up here.  If we're about to be killed, you'll be the first to know.
 
SM Phil
 Action: Radiation alarm sounds, levels approaching safety limits on deck 7.
   
XO Skye
 ::Looks up:: Self: Now what?

EO Davidson
 *CEO*: I am taking care of things. ::opens his tricorder:: Sir, I am reading radiation on Deck 7.

EO Davidson
 *CEO*: I am just below that deck in jefferies Tube J7 alpha.
   
CSO Lys
 OPS:  I need your opinion, do you think we can modify enough probes to compensate and reduce the magnetic field, negate some of it, or is there just too much?

CEO Michaels
 :: Curses before sending a rescue team down to deck 7 and setting up reinforcement force fields ::
   
XO Skye
 ::Mutters:: Jason will KILL me if I kill anyone on the ship or if anything happens to her.
  
OPS Sato
 ::Quickly turns to the XO.:: XO: Radiation limits [on deck 7] exceeding safety limits.

CEO Michaels
 XO: We've got heavy radiation on deck 7.

CEO Michaels
 *EO*: Then I would suggest getting out of there quickly

CEO Michaels
 XO: I've done what I can for the moment.
   
XO Skye
 ::Overhearing.:: CEO: Send a medical team to inoculate anyone on deck 7 against radiation sickness as well.  Begin systematic inoculations on decks 6 and 8 and continue outward from there as the threat increases.
  
OPS Sato
 ::Turns to the CSO.:: CSO: Reduce it sure, not sure about negating all of it.

EO Davidson
  ::sighs:: *CEO*: Aye sir. ::climbs back down quickly::

Tikos
 # ::very broken:  COM: Anyone can you hear me? Help us…
   
CSO Lys
 :: shows OPS the data :: OPS: Think we can reduce it back to normal levels giving us more time to investigate?

XO Skye
 OPS: Don't answer the hail.
   
XO Skye
 CSO: Any progress?
  
OPS Sato
 ::Looks over the data and performs a couple of calculations.:: CSO: That'll be tricky sir. ::Turns to the XO.::
  
OPS Sato
 XO: Aye sir.  Not answering the hail.

EO Davidson
 ::enters engineering:: Self: That was being close to being radiation toast.
   
CSO Lys
 XO: I've eliminated multiple possibilities, but I don't have any answers yet.
   
CSO Lys
 :: compares the current system scans with the historic surveys to find any other differences ::
   
XO Skye
 CSO: Anything that can potentially even improve the situation, forget making it just perfect now.

CEO Michaels
 XO: I know I came in during the middle of things Commander, but f that's a distress call then we have to answer.
     
Tikos
 #COM: Anyone please help, it's shaking so bad.  ::transmission stops::
   
XO Skye
 CEO: We can't answer it as far as speaking to them, Brynn.  They're pre-warp, but we can try to correct the situation, which is what we're trying to do.

EO Davidson
 *Bridge*: The relay has been fixed. Engineering out. ::flops down in his chair and sighs::
   
XO Skye
 CSO: I need some answers quickly.
   
CSO Lys
 XO: Working on plans to at least temporarily reduce the magnitude.  It's going to take quite a bit of power though.  Probes may not be enough.  We may need to use shuttlecrafts in low orbit.
     
SM Phil
 Action: Radiation levels begin to fall as port shield relay is repaired.

CEO Michaels
 XO: This officer will be shutting up now.  ::grins::
  
OPS Sato
 ::Tries to assist and starts a simulation, looking for a possible solution as he continues with his various duties.::
   
XO Skye
 CSO: Do whatever you need to as long as you can keep us out of their sights.
   
XO Skye
 ::Finds the ability to smile back at Brynn as in thanks then returns to the situation at hand.::
  
OPS Sato
 ::Quickly assigns power allocations to various Science department requests.::
   
CSO Lys
 OPS:  What do you think about using shuttles instead of probes?
   
CSO Lys
 <PO Parli>  *CSO* Sir, I just finished a high-resolution scan.  It shows that a comet recently passed through the system.
  
OPS Sato
 ::Turns to the CSO with a smile.:: CSO: There's an idea!  They would have more power generation capabilities and everything else! ::Smiles.::

CTO Kostandinos
 XO: There's a massive earthquake near the largest settlement, possibly killing large numbers.
   
CSO Lys
 :: returns the smile :: OPS:  Perhaps you can find me a pair of shuttles?
  
OPS Sato
 ::Turns to his console and quickly allocates two shuttles as they've just been checked out by engineering.:: CSO: They're waiting sir. ::Taps on the console some more as he has other duties to perform.::
   
XO Skye
 CSO: I need some action now, Mr. Lys.
   
XO Skye
 CTO: Understood.  Thank you, Ashlynn.
   
CSO Lys
 XO: We can deploy the shuttles and reduce the magnetic fields being generated.  Should be enough that the moon can start to return to normal orbit and the earthquakes will cease.
   
XO Skye
 CSO: Do it then… and quickly.
   
CSO Lys
 OPS: Launch the shuttles, low stationary orbit over each magnetic pole.
  
OPS Sato
 ::Sets the shuttles course and powers them up.  Then launches them.:: CSO: They're departing now sir.
   
CSO Lys
 XO: The comet that passed through the system may have had some influence, I'm just not sure what.  It could have shifted the moons orbit or deposited something… I'm still working on root cause.
   
CSO Lys
 OPS: As soon as both are in position, have them generate fields opposite to the planets magnetic field and then cross your fingers.
   
XO Skye
 CSO: We should have some information on the comet in the LCARS.  We log most of them.  See if it has a history of wreaking havoc on planets.
   
CSO Lys
 ::nods the Sam :: *Parli*:  Get me a history on the comet if you can.
  
OPS Sato
 ::Turns his head, still looking at his console.:: CSO: ETA just over a minute. ::Smiles.:: Aye sir.  Generating opposing magnetic fields and crossing fingers. ::Smiles as he's almost sure it'll work.::

OPS Sato
 ::Continues to remote pilot the shuttles and smiles as he's having fun.  Then taps on the secondary part of his console as he performs his other duties.::

EO Davidson
 ::fills up another PADD of status reports and such for Brynn:: Self: He isn't going to like me after this.
   
CSO Lys
 <PO Parli> *CSO*: Working on it.
     
SM Phil
 Action: Shuttles are having trouble with gravimetric forces as well.
  
OPS Sato
 ::Leans closer to his console as he starts to encounter piloting difficulties.:: CSO/XO: Having piloting problems with the shuttles. ::Groans.:: It's going to be a few more seconds than I thought.
   
XO Skye
 OPS: What kind of piloting problems?
   
CSO Lys
 XO/OPS:  Hopefully as soon as the reverse fields start the turbulence will begin to reduce.
  
OPS Sato
 XO: Gravimetric interference sir.
   
XO Skye
 CSO: Let's hope.
   
CSO Lys
 <PO Parli> *CSO*: Report on its way
   
XO Skye
 OPS: Understood

EO Davidson
 Greerson: Take a tool kit and check the port plasma relays on deck 7 as soon as it's safe. Than take a team of engineers and check the shuttles and [conduct any] repairs needed when the come back. ::sips at his coffee again::

EO Davidson
 <Greerson> ::nods and heads off to do what he is told::
   
CSO Lys
 :: reads it over :: XO:  Commander, this is strange.  According to the databanks, the comet suddenly changed its path almost two months ago.  Previously it had never passed this closely to a planet.
  
OPS Sato
 ::Sighs with relief as he finally gets the shuttles into position.:: XO/CSO: Shuttles in place and starting magnetic field generation with the warp field coils. ::Taps quickly on the console.::
   
XO Skye
 CSO: Well isn't that just our luck.

CSO Lys
 XO: I'm not sure what caused the course change, Petty Officer Parli is still looking into it.
   
XO Skye
 CSO: Understood.
   
XO Skye
 OPS/CSO: Effects of the artificial magnetic field?
   
CSO Lys
 :: monitors the status of the plan :: XO/OPS:  I don't understand, the gravitational forces are yo-yoing now, spiking then bottoming out just to go back up.   OPS:  Are the fields we are generating stable?
  
OPS Sato
 ::Quickly re-adjusts reaction control thrusters of the shuttles to keep them at optimal position.  Looks back to the XO and nods, then quickly turns back to his console.:: CSO: They seem to be stable from here sir.
   
CSO Lys
 XO:  Something here doesn't add up.
 
SM Phil
 Action: Gravitational field suddenly spikes and shuttle #1 is pulled into the moon's surface in a dazzling display.
   
XO Skye
 ::Can mentally feel the panic and anguish of those on the planet and this time doesn't try to block it out.  She just wishes there was something more she could do.::
   
CSO Lys
 :: seeing the destruction of the shuttle, slams a fist on his console ::
   
XO Skye
 CSO: Well that's obvious.  Any thoughts on what?

CTO Kostandinos
 XO: The moon's orbit has just changed closer to the planet.
   
XO Skye
 OPS: Get another shuttle out there on the double and see what we can do.
   
XO Skye
 CTO: Closer?  Thanks.
   
CSO Lys
 XO: Aside from someone playing a cosmic joke, I'm not sure yet.
 
SM Phil
 Action: Second shuttle is pulled from its position as well and is lost.
   
CSO Lys
 :: ponders :: Self: Closer?
  
OPS Sato
 ::Shakes his head as he lost control of one of the shuttles, then quickly launches the other shuttle that was on standby.:: XO: Launching now. ::Maneuvers it into position.::
  
OPS Sato
 ::Grunts.:: XO/CSO: Lost the other shuttle as well. ::Shakes his head.::
   
XO Skye
 OPS: Any chance of using the deflector dish and amplifying its power to push the moon back into its proper orbit?
 
SM Phil
 Action: Hayden begins to shake again as forces increase.
   
CSO Lys
 :: runs a quick, intensive scan of the moon ::
 
SM Phil
 Action: Navigation console explodes in a shower of sparks and smoke.

EO Davidson
 ::wakes up from his day dream::

CTO Kostandinos
 XO: Shields offline.
   
XO Skye
 ::Grabs a fire extinguisher and sprays the console.::
   
XO Skye
 OPS: Get us out of the gravitational pull. We can't do them any good if [we] are dead.
 
SM Phil
 Action : Hayden is being pulled into the moon's path

OPS Sato
 ::Gets shocked and falls to the deck.  Then rubs his arm and gets back into his seat a bit injured.  Then quickly maneuvers the ship, trying to get them out.:: XO: On it sir.

EO Davidson
 *Bridge*: What's going on up there? You trying to hurt us down here commander?
   
XO Skye
 *EO*: If I were trying to hurt you Lt., you'd be dead.
 
SM Phil
 Action: Viewer shows the moon getting larger and larger…
  
OPS Sato
 ::Taps on his console and powers up the impulse engines to 1/4 impulse.:: XO: Trying at 1/4 impulse sir.
   
CSO Lys
 XO:  Perhaps we should destroy the moon.  It's not the best option but it solves some problems.
   
XO Skye
 OPS: Try using the deflector dish to generate a bubble and push us away from the moon.

EO Davidson
 *XO*: I see, what's our situation?
   
XO Skye
 CTO: Is that even possible to destroy the moon with the firepower we have on board?
   
CSO Lys
 :: starts running simulations of effects on the planet ::
 
SM Phil
 Action: Hayden is slowly gaining distance on the moon, but shaking wildly.
  
OPS Sato
 ::Looks up at the viewer.  Then quickly taps at the console as he increases the impulse engine power output while performing the task of forming a bubble with the deflector dish.:: XO: Increasing impulse power and deflector dish bubble.
   
XO Skye
 ::Thinks a date with a nice massage is in order if they make it out of the situation.::

CTO Kostandinos
 XO: Not likely, but it will reach it's orbital apex and begin moving away from the planet in about 15 seconds.

EO Davidson
 ::notices a red line on the impulse drive:: *OPS*: Easy on the impulse engines, you might blow us up instead of whatever it is your trying to avoid!

XO Skye
 CTO/CSO: So basically we need to stabilize it's orbit, if we can get out of this situation?
  
OPS Sato
 ::Looks closer at his console.:: XO: Trying 3/4 impulse. ::Sounds a bit nervous now.::
 
SM Phil
 Action: The moon's gravitation pull begins to subside.

XO Skye
 OPS: Whatever it takes to get us out of its path.

CSO Lys
 XO:  Except the magnetic field may just push it back out.  :: checks a beep :: Quakes are subsiding.
 
SM Phil
 Action: The Hayden's flight begins to smooth as it moves away from the moon.
   
XO Skye
 CSO: Excellent.  Can we keep things at equilibrium?
  
OPS Sato
 ::Sees it's starting to work and increases to full impulse power and reroutes a bit more power from the backup generators to the impulse engines and increases the deflector bubble output.:: XO: Aye, looks like it's working sir.

CSO Lys
 XO: Well, we couldn't maintain it with two shuttles, so right now that answer is no.  I'm waiting for these new scans to finish though.
   
CSO Lys
 XO:  There is still no change in the orbit of the moon.  We just have a calm before it starts again.

SM Phil
 Action: Hayden now has another 31 hours to find a way to help the people on this planet.
