Host Sheri says:
The USS Hayden is enroute to her new “home base”, Experimental Starbase 217, located within the Badlands area.

Host Sheri says:
While enroute to ESB 217, she has picked up her new Captain, Prudence Davis-Patterson, and her new Counselor, Commander Mikal Luchena.

Host Sheri says:
The Hayden is now approximately 2 hours from the Badlands, and the crew has prepared a small buffet, set up in the officer's lounge, to meet her new Captain and Counselor.

:: On the bridge, keeping an eye on things as she works on adjusting the sensors.::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::At tactical station doing sensor sweeps::

OPS_Verradi says:
::Sitting at the Operations console on the bridge, doing his usual feeling-sad routine::

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::Walks out of the Runabout onto the Shuttlebay. She looks around for a moment and sighs deeply::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  She's a beautiful ship.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She looks towards the Counselor and nods:: CNS: That she is Counselor.

OPS_Verradi says:
::Sighs, having just cleared the Runabout to come in, and having just a few seconds ago closed the shuttlebay doors, sealing his fate. At the buffet.::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::is used to a beat up old Excelsior class::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CSO: I kinda like that we are to be assigned to a experimental station.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She pauses for a moment and then taps her Combadge:: *All*: Attention all Senior Staff members. Please prepare for a small buffet in the Officer's Lounge.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::is surprised no one is in the shuttlebay to greet the new Captain::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CTO:  It will be interesting.

OPS_Verradi says:
::Audibly groans before tapping his commbadge:: *CO*: Acknowledged, Captain.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
*CO*: Acknowledged, Captain.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She looks towards the Counselor and walks towards the Turbo Lift:: CNS: Shall we Counselor?

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CTO:  It would appear lunch will be early today.  Enjoy yourself.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::Heads towards the turbolift::

OPS_Verradi says:
::Walks sullenly to the turbolift and waits for the CTO to get in too::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::gets in::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  Certainly Captain.  ::follows along::

OPS_Verradi says:
::Sighs:: TL: Officer's lounge, if you please, you vile piece of.... stuff.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
OPS: So, how have the last few days been.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She enters the Turbo Lift and orders it to the proper deck. She folds her hands behind her back as it moves::

OPS_Verradi says:
::Turns to the CTO with the look of a man who wants to do unpleasant things:: CTO: Not rosy.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  You must have studied the layout of the ship.  ::smiles::

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She allows a small smile to form:: CNS: For many days Counselor.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  I'm glad I'm with you then.  ::grins::

OPS_Verradi says:
::Steps out of the TL once it arrives on its deck and briskly walks over to the officers' lounge::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::exits and walks to the lunge::

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::The Turbo Lift stops and the doors open. She walks out of the lift towards the lounge:: CNS: I have read of the personnel files of the Senior Staff. They are each interesting in their own ways.

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Turns to Verradi's replacement with an unconscious sigh of relief, a sense of peace entering the bridge.::  Ens Waterhouse:  Ensign, inform Starfleet our Captain Patterson has arrived safely and we are continuing to our destination.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  I'm already getting that sense, Captain.  ::follows along::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::enters the lounge::

OPS_Verradi says:
::Successfully makes it into the lounge before the CO or CNS notice that he and the CTO hadn't been waiting::

OPS_Verradi says:
<Waterhouse> ::Sits down at her station and nods to the CSO:: CSO: Yes, ma'am. ::Does the necessary informing::

CEO_Davidson says:
::enters the Lounge and Yawns::

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She walks into the Officer's Lounge after a moment and looks around at the small congregation of officers::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Nods to the FCO to continue on course.::

CEO_Davidson says:
ALL: Captain On DECK

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::stops and stands dutifully by the door::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::Stands at attention::

CEO_Davidson says:
::stands at attention::

OPS_Verradi says:
::Quickly puts on a nice smile for the Captain (which doesn't look entirely normal on his feline face) and stands at attention::

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: All: At ease. ::She looks around at the officers:: All: It is a pleasure to meet you all.

OPS_Verradi says:
::Relaxes very slightly and then inclines his head at the Captain:: CO: It is a pleasure to have you aboard, Captain. ::He steps forward like a happy little kitty:: I am Lieutenant Verradi, your Chief of Operations, reporting for duty.

CEO_Davidson says:
::walks up to the captain and introduces him self:: CO: Ensign Jay Jordan Davidson...Chief Engineer. Engineering is ready for your inspection at any time.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::takes the opportunity to look over the crew::

OPS_Verradi says:
::Isn't going to break his façade while the new counselor is here.::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::walks up to captain and introduces herself:: CO: Capt i mean Ensign Susan Ivanova, Chief Tactical Officer. Things are in control.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She nods towards OPS and then the CEO as she walks further into the room:: All: It seems that you have everything in check thus far. This small lunch has been created as a welcome from myself.

CSO_SoTsoh says:
::Checking her sensors to see the area clear.:: TO:  I need to take sensors offline briefly to reset the current adjustments.  You have double duty for about five minutes.

OPS_Verradi says:
::Has no idea what to say to that. So he'll let the CO keep talking::

CEO_Davidson says:
::raises an eye brow and looks at Verradi as if to say does she expects to find something wrong::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::frowns every so slightly::

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She looks over the CTO curiously and then nods:: All: Please have whatever you would like. ::Motions to the food::

OPS_Verradi says:
::Gives a quick "I don't know" face to the CEO. He was put on the welcoming committee five seconds ago.::

CEO_Davidson says:
CO:I can assure you Captain that the Hayden is in perfect working order.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: Captain, I believe you will respect the ship. We are a very good crew.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::senses a bit of tension in the room, and realizes his standing aside and looking them all over probably isn't helping::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::moves to the food and starts filling up a plate::

OPS_Verradi says:
::Walks cautiously over to the food. Normally he'd be much looser, but these days looseness just doesn't fit with Verradi. Nervously, he takes a shrimp from the shrimp bucket. And eats it. Nervously.::

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CEO: I would hope so, Ensign. ::She walks to the buffet and serves herself a drink:: CTO: That is to be determined, Ensign.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  You always this tense?

OPS_Verradi says:
::Laughs a little too loudly:: CNS: Tense? Hah. Only when we get new captains am I tense.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::puts some food on plate:: CO: Captain, sorry for almost calling myself captain. I sometimes forget what rank i am. ::chuckles::

CEO_Davidson says:
CO: Captain...may speak freely?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::nods::  OPS:  That will do it.  ::grins as he piles on some more food::

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::Looks around for a moment:: OPS: Lieutenant, is there a Senior Officer on the Bridge? ::Looks over the CTO a bit oddly and inclines her head a bit::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Hits the reset command and waits.::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CNS: Commander, what house do you belong to?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CTO:  House?

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CNS: Betazoid noble house.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::munches while he looks at the CTO curiously::

OPS_Verradi says:
CNS: Yes. Right. ::Awkwardly makes his way past the Counselor and over to the little stack of plates. He turns backward with even more awkwardness to address the CO:: CO: Yes, ma'am. Err... currently our Chief Science Officer has command of the bridge. She is the most senior of us all--but for you two, of course.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CTO:  I'm afraid I'm just a commoner.

CEO_Davidson says:
CO: Ma'am we served under Captain Skye with distinction and valor. We gave her 115% all the time. I can assure you that we will give you that same admiration and respect that we gave her.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::eats some chicken::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CTO:  This isn't bad. ::continues munching::

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CEO: 115% is a rather high number, Ensign. I doubt many ships run at that level.

OPS_Verradi says:
::Turns back and picks up a plate, actually sticking out his tongue in distaste at the whole situation::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: As her sensors come back online, she relaxes a bit.::  Computer, diagnostic check.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CNS: Sometimes with being a joined trill without training can get confusing at times.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CTO:  I can't begin to imagine what it must be like.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She taps her Combadge:: *Bridge*: Patterson to the Bridge.

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: Sensors pick up an unidentified ship having emerged from the Badlands

OPS_Verradi says:
::Clumsily piles considerable amounts of fruits on to his plate::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
*CO*:  Bridge here captain.

CEO_Davidson says:
CO: If You'll excuse me Captain...::thinks for a second:: I am needed in engineering.

CSO_SoTsoh says:
TO:  I have a ship on sensors.  Run it through the data base.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
*CSO*: What is your current status Lieutenant? ::She nods to the CEO::

OPS_Verradi says:
::Hears the CEO and restrains himself from stamping his foot in anger. That was going to be -his- line.::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Reads through her sensors.::  TO:  Take us to red alert?

CEO_Davidson says:
OPS: What...didn't get your ear scratched to day Verradi? ::laughs as he exits::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CNS: I am going to the bridge

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::heads tot he turbolift::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
*CO*:  We have an unidentified ship coming from the badlands.  Given the current situation, we are now at yellow alert.

OPS_Verradi says:
::Has to restrain himself once again as the CTO steals his backup line. Gah! The frustration!::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CTO: Wait up!  ::runs after the CTO::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
~~CNS: Maybe some ghost maquis ship~~

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
*CSO*: Change course to intercept the vessel Lieutenant. I will be there momentarily. ::She looks around:: ALL: Report to your stations. ::She exits the Lounge and heads for the Turbo Lift::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::enters the turbolift::

OPS_Verradi says:
::Overhears the CSO on the CO's commbadge and cheers. Internally of course. And then he sets his plate down:: CO: It looks like we have work to do. Ma'am. ::Hurriedly walks out::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::startles then follows the CTO into the Turbolift::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
Computer: Bridge:

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CTO:  You are telepathic?

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Nods toward the FCO to follow the captains instructions.::

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She waits in the Turbo Lift with the rest of the officers as it moves::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CNS: Empathic half-betazoid.

OPS_Verradi says:
::Managed to get in with the whole team from the buffet. Yay awkwardness!::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::arrives at bridge::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
TO:  I am reading their weapons charged.  Be prepared to jump to red alert.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::is intrigued and allows the CTO to know it::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
TO: You are relived of your station.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::goes over to tactical 1::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::doing scans::

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::The Turbo Lift stops and she walks onto the Bridge. She looks around for a moment as she walks to the center chair::

OPS_Verradi says:
::Pops eagerly out of the turbolift once it arrives and hurries to his station::

CEO_Davidson says:
::arrives in ME and a Crewman runs up to him::<Crewman Striker>CEO: So...what’s the new CO like?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::exits the TL and looks over the unfamiliar bridge::

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CSO: Report Lieutenant. ::She takes a seat in her chair::

CEO_Davidson says:
::begins to laugh:: Striker: You don't want to know...YOU don't want to know

OPS_Verradi says:
::As is custom, does not look at the CSO when he passes her, and quickly brings up all sorts of useful displays and such things about this ship::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Nods to the captain::  CO:  We are now on an intercept path with a small ship that is not in the federation data base.  Its weapons are charged.  We are currently at yellow alert, prepared to go to red if needed.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
OPS: Lieutenant, when we are in hailing range hail the vessel. ::She looks at the viewscreen:: CSO: If we have a visual on screen.

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CO:  Ma'am, if you will give you a moment to turn over command?

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: I will try and find out what weapons they are using captain.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::decides the empty chair on the Captain's right would be suitable so makes his way to it::

OPS_Verradi says:
::Does some hurried tapping on his console to try to get as detailed a scan on the thing's innards as he can. Naturally, he gets something pretty close to nothing.:: CO: Aye, Captain.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::running through the database;;

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: They are armed with phasers, Captain.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She looks towards the CSO:: CSO: Yes Lieutenant, that is needed.

CSO_SoTsoh says:
Computer, transfer command of the USS Hayden to Captain Patterson.  Omega 00 Alpha.

CSO_SoTsoh says:
::nods to Verradi::  OPS:  The ship is range.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::keeping targeting lock on ship::

CEO_Davidson says:
::sits down at his station:: Self: Now...just to get the warp field re-calibrated...

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Listens as the computer acknowledges and nods.::  CO:  Welcome aboard captain.

OPS_Verradi says:
::Nods in acknowledgement but says nothing to the CSO:: COM: Unidentified vessel: Unidentified starship, this is the USS Hayden of the United Federation of Planets. We are currently on route to our home starbase. Please identify yourselves.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::scans the ship::

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She returns the nod towards the CSO and looks towards Verradi::

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CTO: What are the shielding and weapon capabilities of that vessel?

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Turns to the counselor::  CNS:  And you as well sir.

CEO_Davidson says:
::puts his feet up on the console and works on his PADD::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::smiles::  CSO:  Thank you.

OPS_Verradi says:
::Also does the traditional hailing-button. Which simply sends a beeping signal. But just in case they don't have that, he likes to talk directly::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: The weapons are using phasers

Host Sheri says:
ACTION:  The image comes on screen...it's a small ship, non-descript...the hail is returned in a unidentified language

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Turns back to her sensors.::  CO:  The ship has no markings and its transponder is inactive or they do not have one.

OPS_Verradi says:
::Raises his eyebrows at the response:: CO: Captain, we have a response, but it's coming in in an unknown language. I'm going to put the Universal Translator on it right now. ::Does as he says he would do, assigning the UT to understand this babble::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: Undetermined shielding at this time, Captain.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
OPS: Try and send our language out using prime numbers.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She raises an eyebrow as the CSO reports:: CSO: Is there a reason it would have a transponder? ::She pauses:: OPS: Understood Lieutenant. Do what you can.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::is impressed at seeing the senior bridge crew in action::

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: Sensors begin to go haywire...

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
<EDIT: would = would not>

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CO: I am reading 55 - 60 lifesigns, undeterminable of species... or exact numbers at the moment.

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CO:  Most ships do for recognition ma'am.

OPS_Verradi says:
::Continues his work with the UT. It's not his favorite piece of hardware, but he can manage with it. It's just that the going is always so slow::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CSO: Could the transponder be causing interference?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::tries to sense the intent of the other ship's crew::

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The communication system begins to play songs from Earth's 70's era

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CTO:  I know of no record of that being a problem.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CSO: Can you determine what they are doing at the moment? ::Looks up at the music:: OPS: What is that noise Lieutenant?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::eyes widen::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CSO: So know chance of a emp field of some kind generated

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  Sounds like disco, Captain.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: That is worse think Ferengi opera captain.

CEO_Davidson says:
::covers his ears and nearly falls over in his chair::

OPS_Verradi says:
::Raises his eyebrows:: CO: It's The Village People, ma'am. I have no idea why it started. One moment... ::Tries to access the speakers and shut the music off::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
::Looks over at OPS, seeing he is not the cause, turns and inputs the music into the database.::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::trying some humor to calm situation down::

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CNS: I am unfamiliar with disco Counselor.

CEO_Davidson says:
*Bridge*:Captain...is this another welcome of yours?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  Apparently I was incorrect in my assessment Captain.

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The viewscreen shows the ship returning to the Badlands

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CTO:  A transponder uses very little energy, I doubt it could cause such a problem.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She taps her Combadge:: *CEO*: That would be negative Chief. ::Nods towards the Counselor:: OPS: Why is it playing?

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
OPS: can you end the horror?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::listens more intently::  CO:  No, I think I was right the first time.

OPS_Verradi says:
CO: I haven't the faintest idea.

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CO:  Music is identified from Earth, the 1970 era.  Also, my sensors are no longer reliable.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CSO: Could they have gotten radio and television signals from a couple hundred years ago?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  Perhaps its some sort of psychological attack?

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
OPS: Please turn it off Lieutenant. ::Looks towards science:: CSO: Wonderful.

OPS_Verradi says:
CO: Unfortunately, I can't isolate the source or turn it off. ::Is quite embarrassed by this, seeing as how he is THE computer man::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CSO: That would take the time to reach this distance in light-years right?

CEO_Davidson says:
*OPS*: Verradi...Can you hear me?

OPS_Verradi says:
CO: I'm doing all I can, Captain.

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CTO:  I have no idea.

OPS_Verradi says:
*CEO*: Yes, I hear you. And the music. I'm trying to turn it off, don't worry."

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The engines begin to sputter

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CSO: Attempt to get your sensors back Lieutenant. Contact Engineering if you need assistance.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: Captain how long was this music done and distance from earth?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CSO:  Did that ship transmit anything that your aware of?

CEO_Davidson says:
*OPS*:I would take the comm system off line till we can get it fixed...::looks at his display::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Her fingers dancing along her console::  CO:  Working on it captain.

OPS_Verradi says:
*CEO*: I just might try that in a minute. Standby.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CTO: That is not my area of expertise, Ensign. ::She sighs a bit internally::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Notes the hum of the ship appears off.::  FCO:  Report.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: I am thinking they are trying to communicate with us from music that reached them from old radio/television signals

OPS_Verradi says:
::Tries everything short of simply shutting off the communications grid to stop this music::

OPS_Verradi says:
::Especially tries to push the "mute bridge" button. A lot.::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
<FCO_Paul> CSO:  Unknown at the moment ma'am.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  Captain, our systems may be infected with something.  Perhaps we should try to isolate essential systems.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
OPS: Can you put on radio signals on now.

CEO_Davidson says:
Computer: Status of Engines?

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CTO: That may be correct Ensign. ::Nods to the Counselor:: CNS: Make it so Counselor.

CEO_Davidson says:
::gets up and stands in-front of warp core::Warp Core:Come on old girl...don't do this to me now.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
OPS: Filter it to the frequencies that would have been used in late 20th century earth.

Host Sheri says:
<Computer> Engine status is at 32% and falling

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She taps her Combadge:: *CEO*: Report Chief.

OPS_Verradi says:
::Sighs:: CO: Captain, seeing as how the music isn't stopping, I recommend cutting power to the communications grid.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
OPS: FM/am I think.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::has no idea how to make it so::  *CEO*:  We need to wall off systems somehow.

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Listens to what Susan is saying, and inputs the music into the linguistic base.::

OPS_Verradi says:
CTO: I'll try that when I also feel like eating a raw chicken.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
OPS: Would that render all communications within the ship inactive?

CEO_Davidson says:
*CO*:I'm on it captain...Right now engine’s are at 32% and falling....recommend we go to red alert.

OPS_Verradi says:
CO: In theory, it should. But in theory, the music should have gone off a hundred times by now.

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The music suddenly stops and an eerie silence falls throughout the ship...

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::feels as if he's in the eye of a hurricane::

OPS_Verradi says:
::Raises his eyebrows as the music suddenly stops:: CO: Well that was a bit more than strange... ::Turns back to his console to try to figure out what happened::

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She raises an eyebrow as the music stops:: *CEO*: We will wait for a moment on that Chief. ::Pauses:: OPS: Any idea why it stopped?

OPS_Verradi says:
CO: Searching, Captain.

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Looks up, then back at her sensors, shaking her head.::

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CSO: Any luck on your console Lieutenant?

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: I am wondering if they are using music to communicate maybe they want a response.

CEO_Davidson says:
::checks impulse reactors and Propulsion Systems::*CO*:Captain...according to the information...they are still on-line...

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
<edit respone to response>

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::logs on to his chair console::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CO:  Still working sir.  I expected this problem with the LRS, but adjustments to SRS should have limited the problem.

OPS_Verradi says:
::Makes a frustrated half-hissing sound before turning back to the Captain:: CO: Nothing. No reason why it began to play, no reason why it stopped. ::Shivers, as this usually means his computer has taken a hit from someone. He then speaks very grimly.:: CO: I hope this is the extent of the anomalies.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CTO: That may be true Ensign. *CEO*: Understood.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::pulls up a systems overview to see if there are any problems elsewhere::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CTO:  The computer is unable to distinguish any patters to the music.  At this point, I would suggest it is not a form of communication in of itself per say.  A greeting perhaps, but not a language.

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The tactical console shows a torpedo has been launched...

OPS_Verradi says:
CO: Perhaps if I can decode their transmission with the Universal Translator this will all make sense...

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: Torpedo has been launched

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::is having a hard time deciphering the unfamiliar display::

CEO_Davidson says:
*CO*:As it stands right now I can't figure out what's wrong...

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CSO: Understood Lieutenant. ::She looks towards the viewscreen, the ship now gone from it:: OPS: Lieutenant, hail ES 217 and inform them of what we found.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: Yet all torps are accounted for.

OPS_Verradi says:
CO: Yes, Captain.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CSO: Try looking through fm/am radio waves.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
*CEO*: Keep working Chief. It seems everything is occurring without cause. ::Raises an eyebrow:: CTO: You launched a torpedo?

CEO_Davidson says:
Computer:Run a diagnostic on the Impulse reactor and state reactor status?

CEO_Davidson says:
::begins to power up the auxiliary impulse reactors::

OPS_Verradi says:
::Opens a channel to the Starbase:: COM: ES217: Experimental Starbase 217, this is the USS Hayden. Be advised that we have had to make a short stop before docking--we have come upon an unknown alien-- ::Cuts off as his console flashes a blue symbol:: Self: Damn it!

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
*CEO*: Are data files might not be right somehow a torpedo launched yet all torpedoes are accounted for.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: No I didn't just happened.

OPS_Verradi says:
CO: Captain, we just lost external communications

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Preferring her snow on the ground on Earth during the winter and not on her sensor screens, she glances at Susan::  CTO:  I have had the computer run it through various programs.  If it is being uses as a language, it is not recognizable at this time.  It is to be hoped that Ens Verradi has more luck.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::thinks that system wide failures are not a good thing::

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CTO: Where is the torpedo heading Ensign? ::She looks at her side console for a moment::: CNS: Counselor, run a systems check throughout the ship. I want to know what is wrong. ::Looks towards OPS:: OPS: Source unknown I take it.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::checks to see where it was heading

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  Already trying Captain.

OPS_Verradi says:
::Groans:: CO: Yes, Captain.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: It was heading toward the badlands.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::continues trying to understand the systems overview panel::

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: Impulse engines start up, then begin to falter...

OPS_Verradi says:
::Checks the status of the computer core, suspecting some sort of foul play::

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
*CEO*: What is the status down their Chief?

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::getting a little annoyed with these errors::

CEO_Davidson says:
*CO*:Dead in the water right now Captain...I have tried the aux impulse reactors but it's a no go...maybe we should get out and push?

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She feels a bit angry with all of these problems occurring but does not show it. How are all of these problems occurring?:: *CEO*: I doubt we would get very far Chief.

OPS_Verradi says:
::Runs a couple of level four diagnostics as well to see if there is anything to be said from them::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::thinking jay pushing would be pretty funny::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Has the computer run a level 7 diagnostics on sensors.::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CO:  Captain, might I try an experiment?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  We don't want to get anywhere near the station with this going on anyway.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::runs a  diagnostic on the weapon systems;:

CEO_Davidson says:
*CO*:I know Captain...I will get back to you.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CNS: Agreed Counselor. If this is a virus of some sort I do not want them infected. CSO/OPS: Any luck?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::decides not to mention the possibility that they might fire on the station were they close enough::

OPS_Verradi says:
::Shudders at the mention of a virus:: CO: None at all, Captain. I would, however, like permission to go down to the computer core and run some tests. ::He gulps at this point:: If it is a virus, you know...

CEO_Davidson says:
::checks to see if Warp Engines are still usable::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CO:  No sir.  Might I try an experiment with one of the shuttles?

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
OPS: Granted Lieutenant.

CEO_Davidson says:
::ties warp power into the impulse engines:: Computer:Restart impulse engines...

OPS_Verradi says:
::Shakily gets to his feet and heads to the Turbolift::

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She nods towards the CSO:: CSO: You may.

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Nods to an ensign to take her station and heads off the bridge.::

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The Hayden goes completely dark.  Life support is at minimal and an eerie red light illuminates the bridge....
