Prologue: The Hayden is still docked at ES217 and the New CO is about to give the crew her welcoming briefing.

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Resume Mission}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::looking with interest at the captain over the mission briefing;:

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::running through the corridors on ES217 trying to get back to the Hayden on time for the briefing:: Self: Sure...be late for the first briefing by the new CO...Yeah sure...that will look good!!

CNS_ENS_Jervase says:
::still sitting in the briefing room, having managed to calm himself after -her- promotion::

CO_Marsland says:
::standing in the Observation Lounge, getting ready to go over the mission briefing::

CO_Marsland says:
All: Now then, I'm sure you are all curious about our new mission.  So, let's begin.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
::In the Observation Lounge.::

TO_LtJg_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::looks up, interested::

CO_Marsland says:
::brings up a schematic of the Gerrell System on the monitor::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::runs through the docking power knocking down a crewman:: Crewman: Sorry...::nearly dives in a TL:: TL: Bridge!!

CNS_ENS_Jervase says:
::raises an eyebrow, wondering when the shore leave comes in, god knows the crew could use it::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
Computer: Disengage safety protocols for speed monitors...and increase speed.

Action: The TL surges with such speed that the CEO can feel himself being pressed down.

CO_Marsland says:
All: We have been ordered to the fifth planet of the Gerrell System.  We will be looking for a ship -- the USS Dobbins -- which has been missing for approximately one year.

CNS_ENS_Jervase says:
::inclines his head a degree, figuring the chances of them finding the ship are minimal... survivors, possibly::

CO_Marsland says:
All: Starfleet Intelligence has information that the ship -- or its wreckage -- might be on this planet.  This was its last known location.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
::Listening to the CO.::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::tries to hold on the side:: Self: What a day to ::cringes:: to be late for a meeting!

TO_LtJg_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::thinks that if she were on a missing ship, she'd want Starfleet to come after her sometime prior to one year after the disappearance... but that is why she isn't an admiral::

Action: The TL that the CEO is in stops so suddenly that the CEO in thrown nearly to the top of it.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::wondering the paper pusher that made the delay in finding the ship::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::hits the deck below with a thud and groans as he gets up::

CNS_ENS_Jervase says:
::thinks if a ship is missing for a year with no contact, there probably isn't much ship left::

CO_Marsland says:
All: We are hoping to find survivors. I will need all of you to work together to make this happen.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
CO: Commander, do we know what their last mission orders were?

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::slowly walks out onto the bridge:: Ens: Has the senior staff started their briefing?

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::straightens his uniform::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::steps into the briefing room his face a bit red::

Action: The Hayden is being hailed by the station.

CO_Marsland says:
XO: Yes.  They were assigned to this system to investigate an anomaly

OPS Ta’lk says:
*CO*: Commander we are being hailed.

TO_LtJg_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::looks up at the new entrant into the room, and thinks that he looks really familiar for some reason::

CO_Marsland says:
*Ta'lk*: Patch it through to the Observation Lounge, Mr. Ta'lk

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::notices the CEO entering the observation lounge::

CNS_ENS_Jervase says:
::while Adrienne's attention's occupied by the new arrival, glares coolly at her before returning his attention to the CO::

CO_Marsland says:
CEO: Welcome, Ensign, nice of you to make it.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::doesn't dare move and stands at attention::

OPS Ta’lk says:
*CO*: Aye Aye.  ::Does as ordered.::

CO_Marsland says:
CEO: Be seated, Ensign

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
::Notes the CEO's tardiness.::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::nods and sits down between the TO and XO::

TO_LtJg_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::gets that odd feeling that someone is staring at her, figures she knows just who it is and just why he is staring, and turns her attention to the Captain lest Michael be given any ammunition::

Host Captain_Demor says:
COM: CO: Commander this is Captain Demor requesting permission to come aboard.

CO_Marsland says:
COM: Captain Demor: Permission granted, Captain, we are in the Observation Lounge off the bridge.

CO_Marsland says:
All: Any more questions?

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::raises hand::

Host Captain_Demor says:
COM: CO: Roger Commander I shall be there in a few seconds.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::raises his hand::

CO_Marsland says:
CTO: You first, Ensign.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
CO: Shall I meet the Captain in the transporter room?

CNS_ENS_Jervase says:
::raises his as well, but then puts it down as the CEO beat him to it::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: Captain Marsland, why did it take Starfleet a year to send a SAR team and what was the cargo contents of the ship?

Action: Captain Demor materializes in the observation lounge.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
::Stands as the Captain materializes.::

CO_Marsland says:
CTO: The Dobbins original mission was classified, that's why it took so long.  The cargo was also classified.

CO_Marsland says:
Demor: Welcome, Captain, how can I help you?

Host Captain_Demor says:
CO: Commander. Sorry to just beam in however I wanted to be sure to catch you before you left.

TO_LtJg_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::curious as to the new entrant - couldn't whatever he had to say be settled over subspace?::

CO_Marsland says:
Demor: Of course, sir.

Host Captain_Demor says:
CO: I have a little task to perform. If you could call the room to attention.

CO_Marsland says:
All: Attention, Crew. Captain Demor has an announcement.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
::Looks at the Captain.::

TO_LtJg_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::straightens up, now more curious::

CNS_ENS_Jervase says:
::glances toward the captain, and offers a slight nod::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::curious about the announcement::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::stands up and goes to attention::

CO_Marsland says:
::stands at attention::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::stands at attention::

Host Captain_Demor says:
CO: Commander It is with great pleasure that I am able to promote you to the rank of Captain with all the privileges and responsibilities that go along with the promotion.

Host Captain_Demor says:
CO: Congratulations Captain.

CO_Marsland says:
Demor: Thank you, sir.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::salutes at the new Captain::

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
::Nods to the CO.::

CO_Marsland says:
Demor: I consider it a privilege to serve sir.

CNS_ENS_Jervase says:
::snaps a salute to the CO::

TO_LtJg_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::nods her congratulations as well::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::nods also::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::looks at the young Lt.JG to his left then stares strait forward::

Host Captain_Demor says:
CO: The orders just came down from Starfleet and I want to see that you got them before you left.

CO_Marsland says:
Demor: I have already received the orders, sir, unless they've changed.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::Thinking this is just plain odd::

CNS_ENS_Jervase says:
::makes a mental note to talk to the CO after the meeting... she really should have an idea the loose cannon she just gave an extra half pip::

CO_Marsland says:
::looking confused for a minute::

Host Captain_Demor says:
CO I am sorry that I cannot stay any longer. You are cleared to leave whenever you are ready.:: Beams out of the observation lounge::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::thinking some black ops thing is going on::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
ALL: Didn't anyone just find that a bit strange?

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
::Looks at the CO.:: CO: He is efficient Captain.

CO_Marsland says:
All: Okay, enough speculation, folks.  Now, I believe the CEO had a question as well?

CNS_ENS_Jervase says:
::smirks at the CTO:: CTO: Strange is what we agree to walk into when we put on this uniform.

CO_Marsland says:
::nods in acknowledgement to the XO::

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
::Pleased with the Captain's directness.::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CO: Congratulations first off Captain...are there any anomalies that could affect the ships systems in the region and what class of ship was the Dobbins?

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::raises hand::

CO_Marsland says:
CEO: None that have been reported.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
CEO: Ensign, the Dobbins was investigating an anomaly at the time of its disappearance

CO_Marsland says:
CTO: Yes, Ensign?

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: Any hostile powers in the region of space?

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CO/XO: In other words prepare for anything?

CO_Marsland says:
CTO: No, Ensign

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
CEO: Always, Ensign Davidson.

CO_Marsland says:
CEO: As the commander said, always.

CO_Marsland says:
All: Anything else?

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
CO: Captain, I recommend sending sensor probes into the area ahead of our arrival to gain further information and make appropriate preparations to the Hayden.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::thinks to him self that the TO looks awfully familiar to him but can't place the face::

Action: The observation lounge suddenly goes dark.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: I agree with the commander Aria on this.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: Could be temporal anomaly or random dangerous anomaly

CO_Marsland says:
XO: Noted.  Once we get to the system, and everything checks out . . . All: What the heck was that?

CNS_ENS_Jervase says:
CO: As you've no medical staff and my training includes emergency triage among other things, request permission to act in the capacity of chief medical officer for this mission.

CNS_ENS_Jervase says:
::blinks as the place goes dark::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::things go dark::

CO_Marsland says:
CNS: Agreed.

TO_LtJg_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
Self:  Who's afraid of the dark?

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::shakes his head:: Self: what now...::gets up and feels along the wall for the equipment locker and finds a wrist light::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: There have been computer errors on board the ship captain.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: I tried to look at some weapons reports earlier and had problems accessing the files.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
*OPS*: Ta'lk, Report.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::turns it on:: CO: Permission to head for engineering?

CO_Marsland says:
CEO: Granted.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CEO: Check for logs with different time marks.

OPS Ta’lk says:
*All*: Senior staff to the bridge.

CO_Marsland says:
All: Briefing over, head to the bridge.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CO: I'll get a status report ASAP

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
::Stands and heads for the bridge.::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::heads for the bridge::

CO_Marsland says:
CEO: Thank you. ::heads for the bridge::

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
Ta'lk: Status?

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CTO:I know how to do my job Ensign....::heads for the TL::

TO_LtJg_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::heads for the bridge - a bit difficult since none of them can see::

CNS_ENS_Jervase says:
::gets up, and follows everyone out to the bridge, moving straight to the command center and taking his seat::

CO_Marsland says:
::walks out and goes to her chair::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::accidentally trips::

OPS Ta’lk says:
XO: Attempting to determine Commander.  We appear to be on emergency power only.

CO_Marsland says:
::sits down in her chair::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::gets up and goes to tactical one::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
TL: Main Engineering...::leans against the TL wall as he rides the lift. That face is sticking in his mind. He thinks he knows but is not sure. Could it be who he thinks it is?

CO_Marsland says:
::thinks "Why can't a mission start out without a hitch?"::

OPS Ta’lk says:
::Presses buttons on the console.:: XO: Um Cmdr.  Everything is normal except the Observation Lounge now.????

CO_Marsland says:
XO/Ta'lk: Have you ever experienced this type of abnormality before?

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::enters ME and gets a report from a EO::*Bridge*: Engineering to Bridge

CO_Marsland says:
*CEO*: Go ahead, Ensign.

CNS_ENS_Jervase says:
::sweeps his eyes about the bridge, then brings up his schedule since, so far as these events are concerned, he can offer nothing::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
*CO*:Captain we will have full internal power in....3.....2.....1....Full Internal power restore. I just bypassed a damaged circuit.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
XO: Maybe, this happened by us plotting to go there. Then power outages happened sometime in the future.

OPS Ta’lk says:
::Hrmphs.:: Self: A blown fuse!

CO_Marsland says:
*CEO*: Acknowledged, Ensign.  Thank you.

TO_LtJg_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::thinks to herself that it's the 24th century and they still haven't figured a better way of running electronics than with fuses::

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
CTO: Ensign, do you have facts to support that?

Action: All consoles that had games on them before have just cleared up and are back to normal operations.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
XO: Just from hearing other stories on other ships.

TO_LtJg_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::is a bit disappointed that Ms. Pac-Man is no longer on her console::

CO_Marsland says:
Ta'lk: Are we ready to disembark the station?

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
TO: Isn't weird that starship's don't have seatbelts. All this tech and not a single seatbelt onboard?

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
CTO: Gossip and hear say are not satisfactory facts for evidence Ensign.  Please confine yourself to the actual facts and evidence that support such verbal reports.

TO_LtJg_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
CTO: It could be that they really aren't expecting us to crash into anything...  ::is really wondering where the seat belt comment came from::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
TO: Hey, considering how much we lose power seatbelts would be useful in those situations.

CO_Marsland says:
TO/CTO: Inertial Dampeners are supposed to substitute for seatbelts.

TO_LtJg_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::looks at the CTO as if to say "There's your answer"::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: Still when power goes out, you’re screwed because inertial dampeners won't work without power.

CNS_ENS_Jervase says:
::sends notification to a few of his patients, informing them they'll be doing their appointments in sickbay, as he plans to start taking shifts there at the end of this... whatever this problem is::

CO_Marsland says:
CTO: Enough, Ensign.

Action: A crewman in ME accidentally hits the wrong button and the Bridge suddenly looses gravity.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
::Floats out of her seat.::

TO_LtJg_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::grips her console to keep from going anywhere::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::grips console;:

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::assigns a repair team to replace the damaged circuit and enters his office:: Computer: Access crew roster...bring up the Kostandinos personnel files.

OPS Ta’lk says:
::Bumps head on the ceiling and growls loudly before making his way back down and hooking his feet around his console and paging Engineering.::

CNS_ENS_Jervase says:
::blinks, and takes hold of the arm of his chair so as not to float too horribly far from his chair::

OPS Ta’lk says:
CO: Feel free to yell at Engineering Captain the line is open.

CO_Marsland says:
::grips her chair:: *CEO*:Ensign, we seem to be running low on gravity up here.

CO_Marsland says:
XO: Commander, my Ready Room, now.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
*CO*:Captain?...::goes out to Engineering:: ALL: What the heck did you do now? You guys are making mistakes like first year cadets....FIX THEM NOW ::storms off into his office::

CO_Marsland says:
::gets up and heads for the Ready Room::

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
::Null grav bounces to the RR.::

Action :: gravity is restored to the bridge.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::falls down::

CO_Marsland says:
::hits the floor as gravity is restored and goes into the Ready Room::

CNS_ENS_Jervase says:
::is reintroduced to his seat... harshly::

OPS Ta’lk says:
::Feels the gravity restored and resumes the standard information gathering activities of the post.::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
Computer: Now...bring up Tactical Officers Lt.JG Kostandinos-Michaels and compare photos and logged DNA samples.

CO_Marsland says:
::sits down behind her desk:: XO: What do you know of the Engineering team on this ship, Commander?

TO_LtJg_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::feet come crashing back down, sending brief pain through her legs, not dissimilar to when she was younger and jumped out of a tree, feet first::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
TO: Why do the Gods have to be so cruel to us?

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
CO: Professionally or personally Captain?

TO_LtJg_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::has never had much use for higher powers... as she'd once heard a Klingon say, "Gods are more trouble than they are worth".. so keeps her mouth shut to avoid offending the CTO::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
Computer: Compare and report

CO_Marsland says:
XO: I mean, why did we lose power in the lounge and gravity on the bridge?  What kind of work ethic to they have down there?

CO_Marsland says:
XO: Are they all ensigns on their first assignment or something?

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
CO: Professionally speaking Chief Engineer Davidson is a capable officer.  He has just returned from leave and the acting chief engineer has departed the USS Hayden.  As of this docking we have taken on several new crew in engineering coupled with the new upgrades SFC insisted we install last mission.

CO_Marsland says:
XO: What sort of upgrades?

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
CO: Mostly sensor upgrades that required a different routing of power.

CO_Marsland says:
XO: Could that be the cause of all the glitches we've experienced?

CNS_ENS_Jervase says:
::continues to survey the bridge, somewhat irritated, but then goes back to correcting his schedule::

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
CO: It is a logical conclusion Captain. I suggest we speak with Davidson regarding the matter.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::looks around his office:: Self: Gee this ACEO really made him self at home

CO_Marsland says:
XO: Agreed. Let's go back out onto the bridge.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
::Nods and stands aside to allow the Captain to go first and she follows.::

Computer says:
CEO: Tactical Officer LtJg_Kostandinos-Michaels is the off-spring of Brynn and Ashlynn Michaels Kostandinos...100%.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
Self: But it can't be...that's little Adrienne?
