Host ^JimS says:
The Hayden and her crew, including her new CO, have run into a problem before reaching their new home, Experimental Starbase 217.

Host ^JimS says:
A strange ship has appeared from out of the Badlands and right after that things went sour for the crew….imagine that!

Host ^JimS says:
Now bathed in a weird red light, with an eerie silence replacing The Village People and their disco tunes, the crew struggles to bring the ship back under their control.  Oh and where did that torpedo that was fired come from?

Host ^JimS says:
Join us as the crew tries to unravel these mysteries;  let's hope nothing else terrible happens!  Welcome gentle beings to "Malfunction Junction"  Chapter 2 of "Are We There Yet?"

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::Decides to check the logs to see if there is a missing torpedo::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: With the long climb down, figuring she has her exercise for the day, she enters the shuttle bay.::

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::Sitting in the central seat on the Bridge with a look of content on her face. Inside however was a different story:: CTO: Ensign, can you establish comms to the Senior Officers? ::She does not move yet, not sure if she should::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Continues making his way through the innards of the ship at as fast a speed as possible--he still hasn't fully recovered from his little bout of.... unpleasantness.::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: I will try and ma'am there are no missing torp's from the log.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
ALL ME:Okay...I want a check on the containment fields NOW!!!. Ensign take this to Captain Patterson on the bridge ::hands her a PADD:: 

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::Trying to contact other senior crewmembers::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Heads for the nearest shuttle.  Inputs her code and steps through the doors.::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
Computer:Respond?

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::Nods:: CTO: Understood, Ensign. ::She stands up and walks around the Bridge a bit searching for a Tricorder.. something::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Stepping over to the command console, activates the ships systems.::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::hits Her computer station:: CTO: Nothing threw the come stations ma'am.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Finally reaches the Computer Core and rolls unceremoniously out of the Jeffries Tube, going immediately to the small locker, which should contain a working wrist light--three, actually, if things are working as Verradi planned them to on this ship::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Nods as all systems come on.::  That answers that question.  :: Looks around, considering.::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::tries to analyse the network security systems from the bridge::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::grabs his tricorder::Warp Core:Okay old girl...co-operate with me okay? We need to get you going again. I promise a nice over-haul next lay over. ::scans the EPS Power Grid::

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CTO: Understood. Be prepared for anything to happen. ::She continues to look around a bit - she feels at a loss a bit not being able to contact anyone::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Sits down.::  COM:  CO:  Ma'am, do you read me?

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: Understood ma'am. I am going to try to look through network security from here.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CTO: Without power your attempts will fail, Ensign. Our main concern is getting power back and protecting this ship.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She notices a Tricorder and picks it up. She flips it open as her eyes begin to read over the data::

Host ^JimS says:
ACTION:  A blinding, pure-white stabs out toward the Hayden and in the confusion the CNS disappears

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
Crewman:Get a Generator from the storage room...We'll hook it directly into the EPS Grid...That way we can try to get the core on-line.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::decides to flip her Tricorder and read the data::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Picks out one of the three wrist lights--and half-nods with satisfaction at the presence of three--and climbs up to an access port, which he promptly opens. Before long, he is looking inside to determine if there are any sorts of physical abnormalities about the Computer Core::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: Want me to head to engineering and see if I can help out captain?

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::Hears a bit of a jumbled message on her Combadge. Her eyes widen as the Counselor disappears:: CTO: What was that! Where did the Counselor go?

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Getting no reply, boosts the signal and tries again.::  COM: CO:  Ma'am, is this signal getting through?

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She taps her Combadge:: *CSO*: I can hear bits and pieces of whatever you are attempting to say, Lieutenant. ::She starts to scan the Bridge, her eyes still widened::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Taps his commbadge and readjusts the position of his light:: *CO*: Lieutenant Verradi to Captain Patterson. Can you hear me?

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::jumps up and heads for the EPS power grid hatch::Crewman:Thanks...::scans the grid:: Good...not damaged...::rips out some cable from the hatch and attaches it to the generator, taps a few button and calibrates it to eh Hayden's power grid:: Okay...here goes nothing. ::hits the power switch but shields his eyes::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: I just briefly saw a light could be transporter but without scanners, it could be dimensional stuff beings that think they are gods.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Climbs off the Computer Core and picks up a nearby toolkit; with the kit in hand, he remounts his lovely baby and gets to performing the initial steps necessary to fix her::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
COM: CO:  The shuttles are not in any way affected, only the ship.  Given our current status, do you want me to take a shuttle out to guard or at least be a warning system?

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::turns around to see the core jump back to life::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: I am thinking transporter as most logical explanation for light right now until other data comes through

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::tries to contact the bridge:: *CO*Captain...this is Engineering...do you read?

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She taps her Combadge:: *CSO*: Negative, Lieutenant. If this same thing happens to you, you will be stuck. ::She pauses:: *OPS/CEO*: Go ahead.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Having prepared to go in and actually fix it, he stands by for word from the Captain::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
*CEO*: Jay do you need any help done there?

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
*CTO*: Stay at your station Ensign....Davidson out.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CTO: Ensign, I need you to scan that light. I need to know where it came from and what happened to the Counselor.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: I ma'am.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
*CO*: Captain, I'm at the Computer Core. I did a routine check of the physical core to make sure there was nothing causing it to go haywire, but apparently there has been considerably tampering.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::starts scanning the light::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
*CO*: Captain...the core just jumped back to life...what happened up there? Seems ship systems are slowly coming back online. 

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: Captain it seems that from what I can tell high energy beam from the Badlands.

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Switching things on, turns suddenly, realizing she is getting a priority signal.::  COM:  CO:  Captain, I am picking up a priority signal from Starfleet.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
*OPS*: What kind of tampering, Lieutenant? ::She takes a seat in her chair:: *CEO*: I am unsure, Chief. Please inform me when the engines are fully operational. ::Pauses:: *CSO*: Transfer it to the Bridge, Lieutenant if possible.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CTO: How far into the Badlands? ::She looks towards him::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Listening, her eyes narrow.::  COM: CO:  It is a general distress signal.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::checks data again:: CO: 1 light year again.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
*CO*: It's a simple repair, but someone literally came in and decided to put everything where it did not belong.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::taps a few buttons:: *CO*: I can give you 60% right now....and climbing sir.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
*CSO*: From ES 217 or Starfleet itself? ::She sighs a bit internally:: *OPS*: Understood, Lieutenant. Do what you can to shield it for now. *CEO*: Understood Chief. Keep me informed.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: Yes the energy beam seem to came from the badlands.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CTO: Make a note of the location so we can report this to Starfleet, Ensign.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CTO: Already working on it. Want a probe launched with current ship data more then location for Starfleet?

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Furrows his strangely-shaped brow in confusion:: *CO*: Excuse me, Captain? Do you want me to repair it?

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
*OPS*: I would like you to have it secure for the moment, Lieutenant.

CSO_SoTsoh says:
COM: CO:  Sorry sir, the signal is too weak to determine its exact location.  I will need the bridge sensors... if they were working.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Somewhat frustrated:: *CO*: I may not have explained myself. The computer core is currently in a state of disrepair. Simple functions that involve the computer can result in catastrophic system failure and the destruction of the ship. If you don't repair it now, then the best course of action is to simply shut off the computer.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
*CO*: Were at 90%....::voice trails off and a look of horror comes on his face::

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CTO: Negative, Ensign. Our orders are to not enter the Badlands, sending a probe would be entering. *CSO*: That they are Lieutenant. Please report to the Bridge. Great work.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
*CEO*: Understood, Chief. I take it everything is going smoothly down there?

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::starts muttering some betazed curses over computer core problems::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Looks up curiously::  COM: CO:  They are?  On my way.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
*CO*:Yeah...sure....

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
*Computer*:Respond!

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
*CEO*: I do not have time for games, Chief. What is wrong? ::Can tell from his voice that he is not telling her something::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Shutting down the shuttle, steps from it to notice the ships power seemed to be back on.::  OK....

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::feels like his worse fear is coming true::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
*CO*: I am working on it captain....

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
Computer: Respond....

Host ^JimS says:
<Computer> CEO: What is it, can't you see I'm busy?

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
*CEO*: Working on what, Ensign? ::She asks in a commanding tone::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: With a nod to a tech, leave the area, for a turbolift.  Stares at it a moment before getting aboard.::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
*CO*:Core pressure is rising...Were looking at a breech....

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
*OPS*: What is your recommendation?

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Concerned about the lack of a response and getting quite antsy:: *CO*: Captain, do you acknowledge?

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
Computer: Bring Ejection Systems online...Authorization Davidson alpha 15 Beta Gamma...

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
*CO*: That I fix the system. Now. And until then, that you don't even say the word "computer"

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: Captain with computer programs not working right there might be delays in comm recognition.

Host ^JimS says:
<Computer>CEO:  We're all going to die!

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: As the lift stops, she steps over to her station.::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::listens to the computer and shakes his head::

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::Pauses for a moment:: *CEO*: Shut down the core, Chief. We do not need a breech. *OPS*: Understood, do it.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::runs to a console and manually tries to bring the routines on-line::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Fortunately cannot hear what the computer is telling the CEO, and is fortunately finally ordered to fix it:: *CO*: Yes ma'am. ::Cuts comms and sighs with considerably exasperation before beginning the simple repair work::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: A quick glance at her station, she pauses as she hears the captains words, wondering what had happened during her brief tour from the bridge.::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
*CO*: I am trying to shut it down....

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: captain I just hope the computer core isn’t thinking on its own.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CSO: Welcome, Lieutenant. Please inform me when you have located the source of the distress call. ::She looks towards the CTO:: CTO: Ensign, send a message to everyone to not request anything from the Computer. They must do it manually.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: Captain were getting a tactical alert from Starfleet

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Pulling up sensor readings.::  CO:  Aye captain.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::attempts to bring the ejection routines online::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: High priority, but I don’t trust these damn machines:: ::hits station system::

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CTO: What does it say? ::She turns to her:: *CEO*: Get it done, Chief.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: High priority but if are systems are messed up that message might just not be true.

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Her eyes narrow at the trace of an unusual energy signature just outside the border of the badlands.  A few commands has the computer analyzing it.::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: Immediate state of readiness

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Gets out a lovely little gadget that quickly pinpoints exactly which isolinear chips are out of place, and the work proceeds simply and efficiently--he's one of the best, after all (he's said so himself)::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: We are getting close to war.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
*CO*: Working on it...Core pressure is rising. ::taps a couple more commands:: GOT IT! Core is shut down....ejection sub-routines online just in case.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CTO/CSO: Ensign, Lieutenant, check the two messages for authenticity. I want to make sure these are 'real' messages.

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: As the computer deals with that, she works on the distress signal and the location.::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Nods as she follows through standard procedure.::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::checking them:: CO: would checking to see if they were sent by a admiral be a good idea ma'am?

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Finishes up the repairs and closes the panel with satisfaction and immense relief:: *CO*: Repairs complete, Captain.

Host ^JimS says:
ACTION:  A very clear comm signal comes through

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
*CEO*: Good work, Chief. Perform a complete scan of the core and get it back online as soon as possible.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
*OPS*: Understood, Lieutenant. Please report back to the Bridge.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Sighs, making sure it's inaudible to the commbadge, and replaces his tools as he walks out of the Computer Core to the TL:: *CO*: Acknowledged, Captain.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
*CO*: I am going to swap it out with the auxiliary core on deck 10. Should only take couple hours...or so. 

Host ^JimS says:
ACTION:  The hailing signal is heard on the bridge

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Steps in to the TL:: TL: Bridge.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::tries to open the comm::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CO:  The signal is coming approximately a million kilometers inside the badlands.  The energy readings within are making it difficult to pinpoint exactly.  Also, I am picking a residual energy signature.

Host ^JimS says:
COM: Hayden: This is Rear Admiral Knight...please respond

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::checks computer reaction:: ALL ME: Okay...were going to do something that is usually done in space dock...It's dangerous but we have to get it done. 

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CO:  According to the data base, it is similar to an energy signature seen by the USS Tal War.  There is also some similarity to the USS Don Johnson.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::Tries to open a comm::

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She looks up as she hears a small beep:: All: May I ask what that is? ::She looks towards the CSO:: CSO: Make notes of everything you find. I want all of this in our report to Starfleet. Did they ever discover what exactly it was?

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Appears on the bridge not thirty seconds later and walks briskly to his station, taking his seat and relieving the ensign keeping it warm for him::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: We have a rear admiral knight trying to contact us.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CTO: Put the comm on screen, Ensign. OPS: Or you can do the honors, Lieutenant.

Host ^JimS says:
COM: Hayden:  I repeat this is Rear Admiral Knight

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Nods and quickly puts the signal on screen:: CO: Done, Captain.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
ALL ME: Let's try to get the main one online first. 

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
COM: Knight: This is Captain Patterson of the USS Hayden Admiral. ::She sits straight in her chair:: COM: Knight: How may we be of assistance?

Host ^JimS says:
COM: Hayden: May you be of assistance?  Where are you Captain?  You've been gone for three weeks!

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
Computer: Begin start up sequence...authorization Davidson alpha 15 beta gamma.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Squints as a little notice on his console informs him of something quite interesting:: CO: Captain, our communications grid is picking up a signal composed of... long and short tones. They're organized in something similar to Morse code.

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: The computer suddenly becomes rather active as it locks onto other specifics.  Quickly she scans through it.::

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She raises an eyebrow:: COM: Knight: Three weeks, Admiral? ::She looks towards the CSO:: CSO: How much time has passed, Lieutenant?

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::slowly watches the core come back to live::

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
OPS: Can you translate it, Lieutenant? ::She asks in a lower tone::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Gets the UT on the case to quickly make the tones intelligible. And as a result, his eyebrows go up. Before he says anything further to the Captain about it, he tries to determine the source of the signal::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Just catching the captains words, turns to look at her.  Then turns to check the chronometer.::

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She looks towards the viewscreen. They could not have possibly been missing for three weeks::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::checks to see the time::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Since the Captain asked, however, he will tell her:: CO: It merely says "help us please" over and over, ma'am. I'm trying to ascertain its source.

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Quietly::  CO:  Twenty-two days, 4 hours, 33 minutes have passed.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::watches the core slowly power back up::

Host RAdm_Knight says:
COM: Hayden:  I'm waiting Captain

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::Nods:: OPS: Understood, Lieutenant. ::She turns towards the CSO:: CSO: It did not seem like that long for us, Lieutenant. Any explanation?

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
*CO*: You have full power now sir....she's holding at 100% and is stable

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::After an interval, he shakes his head with frustration:: CO: The signal disappeared. I couldn't find it.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: Captain i think it might be better if we find a way to go back.

Host RAdm_Knight says:
COM: Hayden: Never mind that Captain....get back to ES 217 now..it appears we have a war on our hands

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CO:  Not at the moment sir.  Other then perhaps we slipped through some kind of wormhole or other anomaly.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
COM: Knight: Admiral, I assure you that we were not aware that three weeks have passed. We encountered a vessel from the Badlands, which caused many system malfunctions as well as... ::She pauses:: COM: Knight: A war against whom sir?

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Turns first towards the CSO (but not looking) with shock at the news of the time, but then turns to the screen and gapes at this news of war::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::finding everything is settling down decides to head for the bridge::

Host RAdm_Knight says:
COM: CO: Just get back here immediately... as of now you're on Red Alert...Acknowledge Captain

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CSO: A crystalline creature? How far from our present location? ::She looks towards the screen:: COM: Knight: Understood sir.

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Turns to look at her.::  CO:  I also have data on the energy source.  It is a crystalline creature that can and has created much harm..

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Turns to the Captain once the communication is cut:: CO: Ma'am... this is very strange.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::arrives on the bridge a little worse for the ware and nods at the CO and sits down at engineering station::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: Could we have left the CNS in another time period captain?

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: Dimension?

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Says this in such a way as to suggest insubordinance::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CO:  The trail leads into the badlands.  Sensors loose it shortly after that.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
OPS: I agree, Lieutenant. ::She pauses for a moment:: All: Is there anything around the area that may suggest we are in fact in another dimension or time period for that matter?

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CO: Okay...did I miss something?

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CTO: Ensign, bring the Hayden to red alert. ::Looks towards the CEO:: CEO: It seems we have been gone for three weeks, Chief.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
CO: The Badlands, ma'am. To point to obvious ideas. It's possible that we are still suffering from an acute inability to tell what is real from what is illusory--the computer could well still be broken.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::red alert. CO: Ma'am that could be why the Hayden’s computer's have files in the wrong place.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CO: That can't be possible...

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CO:  If we are... otherwise, it would depend on what brought us here if there might be some residual.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
All: From what I have seen, I believe something is not right with regards to all of these events. At this point in time we must be careful no matter what, even if it does seem like Starfleet is speaking with us. ::She looks towards the helm::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Turns to her station and starts with the most obvious suspect.   The computer readily complies.::  CO:  I am picking up residual chronotomes.  ::Turns to finish report.::  Another dimension confirmed.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: It is kinda odd to be on the war footing without even a info from federation council or any debates on it.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She sighs:: CSO: Any readings or inferences on how we were brought here? Possibly the white flash of light?

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CO:It can't be sir...Our power reserves are still at full power...

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CO:  I will need to do run through the data.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CEO: That may be true, Chief. However, we know that this is not right. ::Nods:: CSO: Make it so, Lieutenant.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Sits there, entirely unsure of how to proceed from this point, except maybe to check through the computer again. Which he promptly does as much as he can from his station::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: It's just odd to be at a war without any debate in the federation council.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CTO: If we are in a different dimension, Ensign, many things may be different.

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Returning to her station, begins to open various files and programs, running sensor data and ships recordings through it.::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Runs a few level 4 diagnostics on various important subroutines; it's obvious that a level 4 doesn't do much, but he needs to do something.::

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
All: We are going to report to ES 217 however we will remain at red alert. I want to see what they have to say but we are in no means going to report to them if they seem corrupted. Is that understood?

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CO:Yes ma'am

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: Yes ma’am

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
CO: Aye, Captain--conveniently enough, ::Checks his console again to make sure:: we're but a few minutes away suddenly.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CO:I do have a suggestion sir.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
FCO: Crewman, set a course for ES 217, full impulse. ::Raises an eyebrow:: OPS: In a matter of seconds? CEO: Yes, Chief?

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Blinks as she reads through the current sensors and realizes they are not where they were either.::  CO:  Confirmed sir.  It would appear we not only moved through dimensional time, but also some space.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Is feeling much more confident now that he's reasonably sure that he didn't break the ship. But still... the computers must not be breached::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CO: I recommend we interface with federation data banks of this time...That way we can download our current mission information.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
CO: Aye, Captain.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CEO: Work with Lieutenant Sotsoh on the download, Ensign.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CO:Aye Captain...::gets up and walks over to the CSO station:: CSO: Hey...

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Looking a bit worried at that idea, turns toward Verradi::  OPS:  Are the computers back to normal efficiency?

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Sighs as the diagnostics return unpleasant results:: CO: Just for your information, Captain, our computers are still not functioning normally. They're not malfunctioning, exactly, but they're not working within normal parameters.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CSO:Don't worry...we can just download it to a PADD

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CSO/CEO: Only download small pieces of information at a time. OPS: What is wrong with them, Lieutenant?

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::has a surprised look::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Nods::  CEO: Lets create a partition so we can collect the data, but it will download to your padd.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
CO: Bluntly, Captain? Someone has obviously manipulated the systems. To what end I don't know, but it seems clear to me.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::nods at the CO::CSO:I suggest we go with our personnel profiles first....if it's an alternate Dimension....then we will be different too...Okay...PADD ready.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: There are fighters from 217 coming are way ma'am.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
OPS: Hail the fighters, Lieutenant.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Nods and presses the requisite buttons that open hailing frequencies to the apparent flight leader:: CO: Hailing, Captain.

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CEO:  Logical.  :: Creates a partition void that bypasses their computers.::

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She nods to Verradi understanding as she waits for the fighters to answer::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::keeping watch on fighters::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::watches as the information slowly comes in::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CEO: We are set.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CSO:Start the download...next get our current mission orders.

Host FltLdr_BigBoom says:
COM: Hayden:  You will follow us; any deviation from the path will result in your destruction

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: This doesn’t sound like our Starfleet.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::looses balance a bit::CO:Captain...were downloading the personnel profiles...and...well....

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Tenses visibly at the sudden and very clipped directive of the flight leader::

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
COM: Fighters: This is Captain Prudence Davis-Patterson of the USS Hayden. ::She pauses:: Self: How nice...

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
