RECAP: The Nighthawk having found a piece of shuttle debris continues her search, following after a faint comm-signal.

[[[[[ begin mission - stardate 10207.06 ]]]]]

Host CO_West says:
::Tapping her fingers against the front of the arm rests::  XO: I agree with you that the locator signals should allow us to track them.  Make it so!
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@::in the shuttle coming into view of the Nighthawk::  COMM:Nighthawk:: This is Ltcdr Naug, coming home permission to dock
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Arrives back onto the bridge::
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
<few=view>
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
::on the bridge talking with the CO:: CO: Right away ma'am... ::walks over to science console::
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::takes his station and logs in::
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
::flying the ship in the asteroid field, following the comm-signal.  Receives the CTO's COMM.::  CO:  Captain, there's a shuttle requesting to dock.  Says he's ours.
Host CO_West says:
FCO: Ah, yes, that should be our CTO. Permission Granted!
Host CO_West says:
FCO: Tell him to be careful out there!
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
CO:  Er... Is he qualified to pilot a shuttle in an asteroid field?
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
::access the science console and scans for the commbadge signatures::
Host CO_West says:
FCO: he is as good as if not better than anyone I know, just get him inon here quickly.
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@::having a little trouble staying with her but manges::  self: must be that new FCO i heard about
Host CO_West says:
CEO: Any thing else picked up on scans as far as debris?
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
CO:  Aye.           COMM:  Shuttle:  Permission granted, be careful.
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
CO: Got another Faint signal, No senor lock yet. Dead ahead, sir
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@COMM:Nighthawk: thank you tell the captain i'll be there as soon asi can
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
CO: Um... Scratch that.. it's gone.
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
::not picking up anything with the combadge scan::
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@::the space doors open and Toir pilots the huttle into the shuttle holding space::
Host CO_West says:
CEO: Find it.
Host CO_West says:
FCO: Is the shuttle docked yet?
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
CO: Aye. ::Does a Multiphasic Scan::
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
::opens the outer door and stepps out and an Ens. walks up::
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
CO:  It's docking as we speak.  The secondary tractor beam is pulling it in.
Host CO_West says:
CEO: Did'nt the CSO say there was magnisite traces blocking some scans?
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
Ens: gather my belongins and have then tranfered to my quaters on the double
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
<Ens> CTO: yes sir right away
Host CO_West says:
FCO: Good, soon as it is in, follow the next set of coordinates CEO sends you.
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
::exits the shuttle bay and heads for he nearst TL::
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
CO: Yes, sir.  I can compensate with a boost to the main deflector.
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
TL: Bridge
Host CO_West says:
CEO: About this Magnicite... is it always present when you do a scan?
Host CO_West says:
::Looking at FCO as the ship approaches a few large asteroids, wondering if he intends to move around them ...or what:
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
::the TL stops and the doors open into the hallway:: Self: good to be back home :: he makes his we into the bridge::
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
CO: Yes, sir.  They are in every asteroid
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
::Maneuvers the ship around the large asteroids.::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
::moves away from the science console and back over to his:: CO: Nothing from the scans on any combadges...they might not have been wearing any?
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
CO: captain good to be back::walking over to his consul and brings it to life::
Host CO_West says:
CEO: Stronger in some than others?  perhaps the stronger signal is what we should be looking for.
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
CO: We just passed a signal.
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
::brings up tacticaul scanners:: XO: what are welooking for Cmdr
Host CO_West says:
XO: That too could be possible, this was supposed to be only a civilian shuttle.
Host CO_West says:
::Nods toward CTO as he steps to his station::
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
CO: And now it is gone?
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
::smiles and walks up to the Klingon::  CTO: Welcome back Toir...looking for a civilian shuttle that got itself lost!  See what you can do
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
::Turns the ship around and heads for the area they just passed, slowing to thrusters.::
Host CO_West says:
CEO: if that signal is behind us are there others in front , now?
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
XO: yes sir ::  starts scaning on every bandwith looking for the fanist signal::
Host CO_West says:
FCO: Thank you, mr. Keowin.
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
::ties into the science scanners to get a better strength in the astorode feild::
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
CO: Trajectory the trigatory suggests it is in the 6 huge asteriods.
Host CO_West says:
XO: I'm getting the feeling that we should be looking closer to one of those asteroids that are giving off the signals. you opinion is welcomed.
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
CO:i concer captain
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
::slows down as they reach the large six asteroids, making sure the CEO and CTO have the time to get good scans of them.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
::scanning with full sensors and targiting computer to get the most out of it::
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
::keeps scanning for incoming asteroids.::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CO: Well...hmmm I would say we have to get closer to those 6 large asteroids.  But I'm pretty sure we can't fit...I suggest we launch a probe in there
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
FCO: can you get us around one of the asterids, all i'm getting is the suface of them nothing in the middle
Host CO_West says:
XO: Prepare a probe.
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
::checks the ststus of the shields and makes a quike rerout to bust the power to them::
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
CTO:  I could, but the asteroids are moving, we could get trapped or crushed.
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
FCO: understood        XO: preparing a probe now sir to launch on your command
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
XO: got a signal
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CO: Aye ma'am... ::turns to the CEO:: CEO: Chief prepare a Class V probe...CTO: Launch when ready
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
XO: Aye.  ::Taps his console:: XO: Probe ready
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
::launches the probe to folow the signal and have all data tranmitt back ::
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
XO: probe luanched sir and following the signal
Host CO_West says:
::Awaiting for datat feed back from probe::

ACTION: The Probe weaves through the outer group of Asteroids, as it rounds one asteroid, it sends back a shuttle signal, but then the probe's signal is eclipsed by the magnecite in the asteroid.

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
Self: darn it  XO:  i just lost the probes signal
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CTO: Did you get anything before you lost the signal?
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
CO: Got an idea. A wedge. Use a shuttle inbetween the asteriods and act as wedge.
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
XO: yes sir it got a shuttle signal then was lost when the probe rounded the astroid
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
CEO: but who would be crazy enoug to fly it

ACTION: Two Asteroids slowly move apart opening a very large passage way through, little bit larger than a Sabre class vessel.

XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CTO: See if you can pinpoint the location...::hears the CEO:: CEO: That's a good idea...nice thinking Chief
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
XO: now i just the shuttle signal there is nothing now
Host CO_West says:
CEO: That could be tricky, we need to first be sure the shuttle is on that asteroid..
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
ALL:  I got an opening between two asteroids, I could fly us in.
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
XO: the astorieds just moved apart we can go in if we make it fast
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CTO/FCO: What if it closes?  Will there still be enough space for us?
Host CO_West says:
CEO: is your signal any stronger now?
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
XO:  Probably not...  I could easily take a shuttle in though, it could get out after.
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
CO: No , sir.
Host CO_West says:
XO: I don't agree thaqt we should take the "hawk in there, launch another probe into that space.
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
XO: i'm working on it sir,:: pauses :: there just isn't away i can see to get thoough 100% safe
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CEO: Chief...would it still work if we used 2 probes instead of a shuttle? Use them as a relay system
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
FCO/CTO: I think we are going to go with the Chief's idea
Host CO_West says:
::Nods toward XO, and he get's the idea::
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
CEO: get it ready then i'll launch when ready
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CEO: Coordinate with the CTO and make any changes you see fit...launch the probes when ready
Host CO_West says:
FCO: Keep your course steady, we're not going in there just yet.
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
CO:  If we wait too long, the opening will close.
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
XO: Possibly.  The Probes would have to be in orbit.
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
XO: I would have to reprogram the probes to make it work.
Host CO_West says:
FCO: And if the opening closes and we are in there we will be trapped and have to find a way out if we are in the wrong place. 
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CEO: Do whatever you need to Chief....
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
XO: Prep the Shuttle and Probes, sir?
Host CO_West says:
::Listening to the banter about the bridge as the crew goes buisly to work on the plan::
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
CO:  Then let me take a shuttle in.  I can beam the lost shuttle's crew aboard and there'll always be a big enough opening to get out.
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
XO: if it comes down to it sir i can pilot the shuttle in myself
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CEO: Just the probes...don't want to risk the shuttle just yet
Host CO_West says:
FCO/CTO: just probes...for now.
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
ALL: We're going to hold off with the shuttle plan for now...there's too many risks
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
XO: Aye.  ::Does the reprogramming on the console::
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
XO:yes sir :: getts ready the computer to work with the probes::
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
CO:  With all due respect, the longer we wait, the bigger the chance we will find corpses instead of susrvivors.
Host CO_West says:
:;Thinking ahead of the rest of the crew and about the crew of the shuttle
Host CO_West says:
::Nods at the FCO but does not answer::
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Does a calcutation in his head, 1+1 = 2::
FCO_Ens_Keown says:
::Turns back to his console with a sigh.::
Host CO_West says:
XO: If we do find further signals on that asteroid, that will give me reason to send down an AT but not until  or if then.
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CO: Agreed ma'am....if we find the shuttle we can take an Away Team down with transport inhibitors and beam any survivors back aboard
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Loads the Probes:: CO: Computations Complete, They have been uploaded to Two Class I Probes.  And are loaded.
Host CO_West says:
XO: yes, of course transport enhancers, will help trememdously.
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
XO: and launching  now

ACTION: As the probes enter the asteroids they are able to link with probe already inside and relay data back to the Nighthawk.  The scans show that the shuttle is, for the most part, intact.  One of its nacelles had been torn off, a piece of hull plating is gone.  But there is minimal power and six lifesigns aboard.  Its resting on the surface of a rolling asteroids, which explains the intermittent comm signal.

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
CO/XO: got the shuttle,  ahve 6 lifesigns and very damaged it's resting on one of the asteridoes
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
XO: thast why  the signal break up it's been rotating with the asterid
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CO: Shall we take an away team down ma'am?
Host CO_West says:
CTO: Lifesigns? Good!
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
CO: we need to hurry up,  one necall missing and a hull breach, a hull plate missing
Host CO_West says:
XO:Prepare an AT, use your disgresion.
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
CO: Magnecite interfers with the transporters, sir!
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
CO: very little power left too don't know how much longer it will last
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CO: Aye ma'am...FCO: Ensign prepare a shuttle for launch...
Host CO_West says:
XO: We;ll have to prepare a shuttle, but be careful.
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
CO: I recommend we go in and tractor the shuttle.
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
CEO: i don't think we can the gravitational pull would prevent using a shuttle tractor, not enough power i would think
