Host CO_West says:
::Sitting at her computer, just closing communication with the search shuttles.::
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
::Sitting on the bio bed waiting for the CMO to return::
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Heading to sickbay in a hurry::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
::on the bridge standing around::
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
::at the helm, maintaining course towards the asteroid field.::
CMO_Lt_Delar says:
::He walks out of his office again quickly and marches over to the Chief Science Officer. He looks down at the orders displayed on his PADD and rolls his eyes:: Self: This is a quite straight-forward assignment. Any physician is capable of completing this task without step by step instructions from an ex-counselor...
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::walks into sickbay::
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
CMO: took you long enough,...
CMO_Lt_Delar says:
::He goes to a tray nearby and picks up a tricorder and small scanner. He then turns his attention towards the Chief Engineering Officer, and Science Officer:: CEO: Lieutenant Monroe, I must again remind you that your presence is not required. Please return to your duty station immediately.
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
::Looks down at her feet again as Sid enters::
Host CO_West says:
::Now on the bridge, stands and walks over to XO:
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
CO:  Captain, we've arrived at the Asteroid field.
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
CMO: Stay out of this.  CSO: Joey What is wrong?  I want answers.
CMO_Lt_Delar says:
::Turning to the Medical Officer he takes several brief scans of her. He uses the sensor data to confirm the existence of the child - as stated on her official record - and then places the tricorder down again, picking up another small tool::
CMO_Lt_Delar says:
CEO: Leave. Now.
Host CO_West says:
FCO: Thank you.  All stop, and hold our position.
Host CO_West says:
XO: I have been thinking about something...
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
CEO: answers to what?
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
::stops and holds position.::  CO:  Aye, all stop.
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
::moves to his console but does not sit down:: *CSO*: Cmdr Matisse please report to the bridge on the double
CMO_Lt_Delar says:
::He takes the Chief Science Officers jaw, lightly, and lifts the tool to her face, flashing a bright light into her eyes and checking her pupil dilation:: CEO: Leave immediately, or I will be forced to have security remove you.
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
*XO* I have not yet been released yet sir
CMO_Lt_Delar says:
::He taps his comm badge as he records his observations:: *XO*: Lt. Commander Matisse is currently under my care, Commander. She will be released upon my discretion.
Host CO_West says:
XO: since talking to the search vessels and they have not picked up transmissions of communications, could it be possible that the shuttle is hiding for some reason, somewhere?
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
*CSO*: Consider yourself released...::taps his commbadge when he hears the doctor::
Host CO_West says:
::Taps comm badge:: *CMO* Acknowledged, let me know when to expect her back on duty, I need her soon.
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
CMO: Fine I am leaving now.  With my wife.
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
::turns to the CO:: CO: I can't think of a reason why they would be hiding...except for repairs of some kind
CMO_Lt_Delar says:
*XO*: You do not have that jurisdiction. She will remain in sickbay. Delar out.
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
CEO: no! i have a problem, and I’m trying to find out what’s wrong, and your not helping
Host CO_West says:
::snaps her neck back as CMO cuts communication::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
*CMO*: Doctor give her something for the pain and get her up here...
CMO_Lt_Delar says:
CEO: You will certainly be leaving, however she will remain here until I clear her...
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
CSO: You have a... problem?
Host CO_West says:
XO: but perhaps there were no solar flares that effected them this way, since we have detected no debris, correct?
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CO: Solar flares shouldn't be a problem with a shuttles shields...something else must have gone wrong
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
CEO: well that’s what you were here to find out wasn't it!
CMO_Lt_Delar says:
::He once again returns to his tricorder and continues to run scans, attempting to keep a flat expression and focusing on his duties:: CEO: Lieutenant, please...you have a job to do, as do I. I assure you, your wife is in qualified care.
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
::taps fingers on his console impatiently.::
Host CO_West says:
XO: exactly, that is what I'm getting at, perhaps something else chased them into hiding.
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
CEO: just… go!!
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
CSO: We'll talk about this later.  CMO: Doctor.  ::Walks out::
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
CO:  Captain, the lead shuttle is hailing us.
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
::Looks down again:: Self: no.. we won't..
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CO: Well we won't know until we get our Chief Science Office up here to do some scans...excuse me ma'am
CMO_Lt_Delar says:
::He nods politely as the Chief Engineering Officer leaves and looks back to Matisse:: CSO: Now, Commander, how have your sleeping patterns been for the past several weeks? ::He continues to run scans::
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Mumbles on his way to the Bridge::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
::taps his commbadge:: *CMO*: Doctor what seems to be the hold up? This entire mission depends on getting some scans done...
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
CMO: what sleep....
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
CMO: let me go...i will come back later...i promise
CMO_Lt_Delar says:
*XO*: I am currently evaluating my patient. I am sure that there are other officers qualified enough to press the button that says "Scan."
Host CO_West says:
FCO: put them through.
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
Self: Thinks about bringing the doctor up on charges of incompetence  ::shakes his head and decides to give him another chance::
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
::puts the hail on screen.::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
*CMO*: But none qualified enough to review and analyze them
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Enters the Corridor to the Bridge and enters it plopping down on his chair at the Engineering station::
CMO_Lt_Delar says:
CSO: I will in a moment, Commander, I promise. ::He downloads the scans into the main computer and takes up two pieces of equipment. The first, he attaches to the base of her skull, placing the small device to her skin and activation it::
Host FM_Little_Goo says:
<Lead Shuttle> COMM Nighthawk:  Greetings Nighthawk, I'm Xu Z'yi.  We have been scanning the area where the shuttle lost contact with the colony, so far nothing has come up.
Host CO_West says:
:;listens to the banter of the CMO and the XO::  XO: problem?  Where is my CSO?
CMO_Lt_Delar says:
CSO: This device will monitor your brain activity...and this...::He injects her with a hypo::...will help with the pain.
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
<SO Croft> :: Goes over to the science console and logs on::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
::shakes his head and looks up at the CO:: CO: Still working on it Captain...
Host CO_West says:
Xu Zyi: this is Captain West of the USS Nighthawk.  can you tell us what the reason the other shuttle was out here in the first place?
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
<SO Croft> ::Begins scanning::
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Mumbles and logs onto his station checking shield status::
Host CO_West says:
::Shakes her head at XO and turns her attention to XuZyi::
CMO_Lt_Delar says:
*XO*: She can easily analyze them at a later date...however, my analysis will wait...consider her released. Sickbay out. ::He begins tapping several controls into a PADD::
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
CMO: thanks ..
CMO_Lt_Delar says:
CSO: I expect your return upon the conclusion of your duty shift...understood?
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
<SO Croft> XO: sir, are scans are in
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
Self: Why does he remind me of so many crewmembers that come aboard this ship....
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
::sits back in his chair, listening to the discussion between the Captain and Xu Z'yi.::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
::turns to the young Science officer:: SO: What have you got?
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
<SO Croft> XO: it looks to be mostly rocks, and so far, no ion trial.
Host FM_Little_Goo says:
<Z'yi> COMM West: It was returning from a trip to Earth.
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
<SO Croft> XO: and also , the solar flare wasn't too intense from the data we received
Host CO_West says:
XuZyi: No reports of trouble before they got this far?
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
SO: Keep working on it...see if you can find a way to locate the shuttle through some other means if necessary
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
<SO Croft> XO: yes sir
CMO_Lt_Delar says:
::He looks up at Matisse on the bio bed and then down at his PADD. He hands her a second PADD and reviews the data he has:: CSO: Give this to Commander Anderson upon your arrival on duty, it is the medical release form::
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Increases Strength to the Warp Containment Fields::
Host FM_Little_Goo says:
<Z'yi> COMM West: None Captain, it was a standard run.  
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
::Gets off the bio bed , takes the padd:: CMO: i will see you later...
Host CO_West says:
COMM XuZ'yi: alright, we will take over the search now, I would appreciate it if you stayed in the area and scanned for any approaching vessels, warning them to stay clear while the search is underway.  Captain West out!
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
<SO Croft> ::Works quietly, hoping the CSO would return soon::
Host FM_Little_Goo says:
<Z'yi> COMM West: Understood Captain.
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
::sits straight as the screen returns to images from the asteroid field.::
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
::Walks out of sickbay and makes her way to the TL::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
::ponders about the situation::
Host CO_West says:
XO: if we cannot get any further scans done then we will have to go in, but I would rather get someplace to start, understood?
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
XO: Warp Containment field is strengthened to combat the radiation.
CMO_Lt_Delar says:
::As the Chief Science Officer leaves, he walks over to a console near the center of the room and begins to analyze the scans of Matisse. He condition appears to be more serious then a simple head-ache, and could be psychological - yet he is still unsure::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CO: Yes ma'am  ::turns to CEO:: CEO: Nicely done Chief
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
Computer: deck one!
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
::smiles as he hears "we will have to go in".::
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
XO: I'll get working on the Shield Modulation
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
::Walks out of the TL, into the corridor and waits a moment before walking out onto the bridge::
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
::Walks to her console, letting the SO::
Host CO_West says:
::tapping her fingers on console, waiting for scan reports::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
SO: Ensign...are there any power reading coming from inside the Asteroid field, anything that could be a warp core?
CMO_Lt_Delar says:
Computer: Compare scans of Lt. Commander Joanna Angelina Monroe Matisse to transporter scans taken on Stardate 10205.18, and 10201.01.
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Rotates the Shield Harmonic to an upper band frequency, gently glancing at the CSO::
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
XO: pardon sir?
CMO_Lt_Delar says:
Computer: ...and compare to scans taken on Stardate 10206.29. State any correlation between scans, and stressor events.
Host CO_West says:
::looks over and sees CSO walk onto bridge and begin working::
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
::Starts looking over the scans and runs them again::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
::turns around to see the CSO and smiles:: CSO: Glad you were able to join us Lt.Cmdr....
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
::Shivers as he uses her rank:: XO: thank you sir, what was the question now
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
::sighs:: CSO: Are there any power signatures coming from the asteroid belt...anything we could possible start our search with?
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
XO: there are no power reading in the field, and i have my release right here for you ::Shows the padd::
Host CO_West says:
CSO: are your scans complete? let's here what you have.
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
XO: I’ve told, and I’m sure the SO has told the XO everything ma'am
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
::taps fingers on his console, impatiently waiting for the order to go in.::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
::takes the padd:: CSO: Very good...do what you can with the scans
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
::Glances over and sees Sid at his station::
Host CO_West says:
FCO: Take her in at 1/4 impulse. search pattern.
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
XO: yes sir
CMO_Lt_Delar says:
::As the data is presented before him, he lets out a soft sigh and downloads his data into a computer access PADD. He leaves control of sickbay in the hands of one of her non-commission physicians, and heads towards the nearest turbolift:: Computer: Deck One. Bridge.
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
::grins and engages impulse engines.::  CO:  Aye, 1/4 impulse.
Host FM_Little_Goo says:
ACTION: The Nighthawk enters the Asteroid field and begins bobbing and weaving lazily avoiding the larger asteroids while the deflectors move the smaller ones out of the way.
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
::Runs her scans and starts to have trouble with some areas::
Host CO_West says:
::pretends not to grip the arm of her chair, she does not know what this new FCO can do::
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
XO: I’m having some trouble scanning some areas sir
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
::walks over to the CSO's station:: XO: Such as?
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Reinforced the SIF:: XO: Shields are reinforced to an upper band frequency.  SIF is reinforced.
Host CO_West says:
CSO: what do you mean, are the scans being blocked, bouncing back, what?
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
CO: some asteroids have a large concentration of magnicite...and can scan
CMO_Lt_Delar says:
::After several minutes he enters the bridge and looks around at the crew moving around - operating like a well oiled machine - even with the disuse of oil in the 24th century:: XO: Commander Anderson...
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
::gracefully pilots the ship around the larger asteroids.  Smiling as he hears the leather of the Captain's chair's arm being squeezed.::::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
::nods at the Chief and hears the CMO in the background::  CMO: Is this important doctor, were in the middle of rescue operation
Host CO_West says:
::Watching the view screen as the FCO dodges some of the smaller swifter asteroids::
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
CO: I can Boost power to the Scanners.
CMO_Lt_Delar says:
XO: Actually it is...unless you'd like me to remove the entire command and senior staff of duty...::He lets out a half-smile::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CMO: Very well...::motions him over to a corner of the bridge:: What is it?
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
::Wonders why the CMO had made his way out of his hole, to the bridge::
Host CO_West says:
CSO: Any thing on scan yet?
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
CEO: could you please, it may work
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
CO; not yet, I’m trying,
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
CSO: Aye. ::Boost Power from Aux Power to Sensors::
CMO_Lt_Delar says:
::He moves towards the section of the bridge indicated, moving fluidly and without error. He stops and looks over the Commander with a smile:: XO: I am currently scheduling you for a full medical and psychological evaluation. Also, I am ordering reduced assignment hours for Lieutenant Commander Matisse, Lieutenant Monroe and yourself.
CMO_Lt_Delar says:
XO: Adjust the assignment schedule accordingly.
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
CEO: thank you Lt
Host CO_West says:
CSO: can the magnicite be strong enough to be blocking a transmission
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
::cocks his head slightly to one side:: CMO: You have a reason for this I presume?
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
CO: they can...
Host CO_West says:
CSO: give the coordinate of the next blocked concentration to FCO:
CMO_Lt_Delar says:
XO: I do. ::He hands a PADD over to the Executive Officer and looks him up and down once quickly with his eyes:: XO: If you could please assure that those changes are made immediately, it would be greatly appreciated...
Host CO_West says:
FCO: I want you to follow those coordinates and let's see what we come up with.
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
CO: yes ma’am. ::Looks down at her console and checks it twice:: i got a piece of debris on scanners
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
CO:  Aye.
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
CO: ...its only about a square meter of metal
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CMO: Doctor...I won't authorize these changes unless I have a reason for doing so.  I have no problem with the medical and psychological evaluations, but the reduced assignment hours...I need a reason for
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
::Adjusts course to pass near the debris.::
CMO_Lt_Delar says:
XO: My reasons are on that PADD. Until I clear your evaluations, you are all on reduced hours...that is non-negotiable. You have all experienced the same traumatic event...that should be proof enough. Good-day Commander...::With that, he turns and leaves::
Host CO_West says:
CSO: get an analysis of the debris.
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
CO: I’ve check twice, and it seems to be a piece of an outer hull on a federation shuttle, standard shuttle if you want really specific
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
CO: I recommend that we beam the debris on board.
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
::Rubs the back of her neck where the device rested::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
::gives the doctor a confused look:: Self: Traumatic event?  ::scans the Padd for his reasons::
Host CO_West says:
CEO: Make it so.
Host CO_West says:
FCO: Continue at the specified coordinates.
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Locks onto the Debris with the transporters::
Host FM_Little_Goo says:
ACTION: The Debris is beamed into Cargo Bay 1
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
::Adjusts course and fly’s the ship towards the next coordinates the CSO sent him.::  CO:  Aye.
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
CO: Debris in CargoBay1.
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
::puts the padd aside and moves back over to the bridge::
Host CO_West says:
CEO: get down there and take a look.
Host CO_West says:
::Watches as XO comes back to the center of the bridge::
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
CO: On my way. ::Gets up and heads down::
Host CO_West says:
CSO: Continue scans .
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
::Looks down not wanting to watch as the CEO leaves::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
::places his hands behind his back:: CO: How are we doing ma'am?
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
::Only give a small nod to the CO::
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Walks down to Cargo bay 1::
Host CO_West says:
XO: Found some debris reported from a shuttle that's all.  What was all that about?  :: Nodding toward the back of the bridge::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CO: Not entirely sure ma'am....the doctor has requested some evaluations be performed
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Enters Cargo Bay 1::
Host CO_West says:
XO: not while we are in the middle of this mission, I hope?  He report CSO to be alright?
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CO: As far as I am aware Captain...she is in perfect health.  I just had a thought Captain, wouldn't the crewmembers in the shuttle have worn commbadges?
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Looks at the Hull plating and grabs his Engineering kit and opens it up, grabs his tricorder and starts scanning the debris::
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
CO: Ma'am..?
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
::Moves the ship out of the way of a large asteroid.::
Host CO_West says:
XO: Should have, but I'm sure they were contacted if by their search shuttles and no answer, we could try also.
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Does a metallurgical scan::
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
CO: i got a faint warp signature directly  in front of us
Host CO_West says:
FCO: Set coordinates, follow the trail.  XO: try to hail their comm badges, get a lock on them.
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CO: The reason I ask ma'am is because every commbadge has a locator device built inside.  Perhaps if we turned to the right frequency, we would have better luck in finding the shuttle
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
CO:  I got it, adjusting course...  ::adjusts course to follow the warp trail.::
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Hits his Commbadge:: *Bridge*: Looks like our Debris is a torn hull piece from an impact from a ship and an asteroid,  there is an photonic ionization on the metal, it looks like it has been exposed to flare.
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CO: The locator device is built into the commbadge to be able to find crewmembers KIA...We should still be able to find the "beeping" noise coming from them if the CSO can get a lock on it
Host CO_West says:
XO: Do it.
CSO_LtCmdr_Monroe_Matisse says:
::Wonders if the CO heard her, and temps telling her again::
