Summary:
We have discovered a legendary Klingon weapon surrounded by a force field in the center of an asteroid field not on any charts.  In the debris field are pieces of various Klingon vessels, but not enough to make up one.  In the time lapse, Carol and Sam will discover the name on the piece they found is from a Klingon vessel that has been missing about three years.  The Klingons will not talk about this vessel anymore. 

Announcements:
Time lapse is half an hour.
We need some Quotes for the Chameleon plaque so send them to Dylan and we'll pull them all together and then vote on one

CO's Log Stardate 10304.19:  
The Nighthawk is approximately an hour away from the Romulan border; the XO is back in his own body.  We are back on course for our mission that has been delayed for weeks.  We have not had any confrontation for over a week, a nice change of pace...

CMO_Santiago says:
::In the TL making her way to the bridge.::

OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
::stands at his station on the bridge, doing routine maintenance::

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Sits at his station in ME::

EO_O`Guinn says:
::exits quarters leaving Allen with Patrick for the day and heads to ME::

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::on the bridge sitting in the Captain's chair::

CMO_Santiago says:
::Feels the TL stop and the doors open.  She steps out onto the bridge and looks around for a moment.::

Scenery:  Everything is quiet.  The steady hum of the ships engine can be felt through out the ship.  The sounds of instrumentation talking back and forth with each other as they keep the ship running smoothly can almost be perceived.

EO_O`Guinn says:
::heads into ME and her console coffee cup in hand::

OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
::Hears the sweet sound of a ship running at perfect pitch::

CMO_Santiago says:
::She makes her way over to the Capt.::  CO:  Hello Sir, I haven't had a chance to meet you.  I'm Lt Santiago the new ships doctor...  Cmdr O'Guinn has my orders.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::taps several buttons on his console and the console slides away allowing him more access::

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Taps on his console, bringing up the several displays::

Scenery:  The drip drip of coffee can be heard in accompaniment with the engines as the smell of Irish coffee fills engineering.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::stands up and holds out his hand:: CMO: Welcome aboard Lieutenant...it's nice to have a doctor onboard once again

EO_O`Guinn says:
::grins:: CEO: Morning Chief.

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Looks up:: EO: Morning Shannon.

CMO_Santiago says:
::takes the Capt's hand:: CO:  Thank you Sir...  ::Grin comes across her face.::  While I was checking the records...hmmmm I noticed you were due for you physical.  ::Twinkle in her eye::

EO_O`Guinn says:
::settles down at her station sipping on her coffee as she logs in for the days work:: CEO: Anything new going on?

ACTION: An image shows up on sensors.  Then fades as quickly as it appeared.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::a smile comes across his face:: CMO: I had a feeling that was coming...

OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
:: runs another scan of surrounding space, more detailed, as he noticed that ghost::

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CMO: When would be a good time to come down to sickbay?

OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CO: Sir...  There is...  something.... out there.....

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
EO: Nothing much, diagnostics on the main deflector grid is scheduled today.  Also there is a Torpedo Tube cleaning scheduled for 1300 hours.

CMO_Santiago says:
::Chuckles::  CO:  Of course at your convenience sir...  you may want to ask Cmdr O'Guinn though how many Capt's I've hunted down for physicals.   Well now would be good, but I know we are not far from Romulan space...but the CEO is in more need of his physical so I may start with him.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
OPS: Could you clarify Lieutenant?

CMO_Santiago says:
::Turns and looks at the screen::

EO_O`Guinn says:
::nods:: CEO: I'll get a team scheduled for the Torpedo Tube cleaning party. ::chuckles:: I'll take care of the deflector grid diagnostics.

OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CO: I am not sure.  All my scan show is something moving at exactly our velocity.  Same speed, same direction.

CMO_Santiago says:
::Almost to herself::  OPS: hmmmm cloaked ship?

FCO_Ring says:
 CO:  We are approaching a debris field.  Shall I go around it?

CMO_Santiago says:
::Realizes she said that out loud.::  CO:  My apologies Sir.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CMO: It is possible.  Exceptionally good cloaking though.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CMO: No apologies necessary Lieutenant..  OPS: Go to active scanning see if you can pick up anything

CMO_Santiago says:
::moves to the med station.::  CO:  Checking for life signs...

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
FCO: How long would it take to go around?

CMO_Santiago says:
::Fingers fly across the console.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Smiles:: EO: Alright.  I'll finish this diagnostic I have started on the coffee machine..

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CO: Aye Sir.  We are approaching a debris field.  Mostly standard rock, but also some traces of refined metal.

EO_O`Guinn says:
CEO: What's wrong with the coffee machine? ::reads over the nightly reports::

FCO_Ring says:
 ::Fingers dance across the console::  CO:  An added 10 minutes.  ::Turns around::  Sir, I don't have this field mapped on our charts.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
:: activates the active scans ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
EO: Daily maintenance needed for brewing over a lot of coffee.  ::Smiles::  We have to have the main driving force of this Engineering Crew functioning.

CMO_Santiago says:
CO:  Detecting no life signs.  Just the debris field.... I guess it wasn't a ship.

CMO_Santiago says:
::Shuts down the station and turns and resumes looking at the screen::

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
FCO: It's not on the chart?  Curious...go around the field

EO_O`Guinn says:
::chuckles:: CEO: Well we can't have the coffee machine going on the blink then can we. ::stands up:: I think I will take care of the grid now.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::prepares a report to SFHQ on an unknown debris field::

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Nods::

FCO_Ring says:
  CO:  Aye sir.  Changing vector.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CO: Sir, the metals in this debris field are highly refined and are commonly used in Klingon ship hulls.  I would recommend further investigation.

EO_O`Guinn says:
::heads over and logs into another station and starts running the diagnostics::

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::makes a face::  OPS: I was afraid of that...prepare a probe to go into the field

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
*CEO*: Sir, I have relayed my scanner readings to you.  I would appreciate your comments.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CO: Aye Sir.  ::Prepares a probe::

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CO: Sir.  There is an object in the centre of the field, lightly shielded.

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Finishes the diagnostic:: *OPS*: Sure.  ::Downloads the readings::

EO_O`Guinn says:
::hums to herself as she watches the readouts on the diagnostic::

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
OPS: Shielded huh?  Can we tractor it out of the field?

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
::Completes the probes preparations::

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Looks at the readings::

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CO: I am afraid not sir.  We just don't have that kind of power.

CMO_Santiago says:
CO/OPS:  Someone went to a lot of trouble to hide something.  ::Activates her console again.::

FCO_Ring says:
 CO:  Shall I bring the ship to a stop?

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CMO: It's only lightly shielded.  Not that much effort.  Unless it's hiding something else.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
FCO: Yes bring us to a Full stop

EO_O`Guinn says:
::picks up a padd making a few notes as she continues monitoring the diagnostic that is running::

CMO_Santiago says:
OPS:  Which is possible.  A debris field that has not been charted... and object shielded.. refined metal consistent with Klingon ships... An interesting puzzle.

FCO_Ring says:
 ::Nodding, brings the ship to a full stop.::

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
OPS: Think it's worth investigating? ::looks the Lieutenant in the eyes::

EO_O`Guinn says:
::looks around hearing the change in the engines::

CMO_Santiago says:
OPS:  Almost like a poker game...  I wonder who is going to call first.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CMO: I think the word I would use is "intriguing".  Almost calculated to make a Starfleet vessel investigate further.

CMO_Santiago says:
OPS:  Exactly.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CMO: But we have a wildcard they should not know about.  The Chameleon.

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Looks:: *OPS*: The metal is Klingon... I need some samples to find out what it is.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CEO: I am awaiting clearance to launch a probe, Sir.

CMO_Santiago says:
::Her console beeps.::  CO/OPS:  I'm picking up a level 5 force field surrounding some object....  ::Looks closer.::  The energy pattern is Klingon..

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CO: I concur with the CMO's readings Sir.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::smiles:: Out loud: Ok let's take a look then ::sits back in his chair:: FCO: Plot a course into the debris field

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
:: scans the debris field again::

EO_O`Guinn says:
::shuts down the console after transferring the reports to  her console...takes her padd and walks back over to her own station and sits back down::

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CO: permission to launch the probe Sir?

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Twirls his chair around::

FCO_Ring says:
 CO:  Aye sir... plotting course now...  ::Takes the ship slowly into the debris field.::

ACTION:  As the ship enters the debris field, the sensors begin to malfunction.

EO_O`Guinn says:
::starts going over the newest reports comparing them with the last reports for any major fluctuations in the readings::

CMO_Santiago says:
CO/OPS:  Something is interfering with the sensors...  ::Fingers flying she tries to weed out the interference.::

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
OPS: Granted...have it on a standard search pattern  ::slight grin::

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CO: We have sensor malfunctions.  Navigation is compromised.

FCO_Ring says:
 ::Switches over to manual visual and slows the ship down further.::

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
Out loud: We'll have to see how good our FCO is then... ::smiles:: Take us to yellow alert

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Taps his chin, then rolls back to his station:: *OPS*: What is going on up there?

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
::launches a class V probe and hopes its sensors function better in the debris field than the Nighthawk::

EO_O`Guinn says:
::looks up:: CEO: Sounds like the FCO is playing with the engines.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
::Raises the ship to yellow alert::

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CEO: We have sensor degradation due to the surrounding Debris field.

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Taps his console again:: EO: Yeah, I think I have to show him how to drive.

EO_O`Guinn says:
CEO: If you don't maybe I can. ::chuckles and goes back to her readings::

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
*OPS*: I'll see if I can compensate.

ACTION:  The probe heads for the center of the debris field.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
*CEO*: That would be much appreciated.  Thank you.

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Smiles:: EO: Shannon, see if you can boost power to the Sensor array.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
::Receives telemetry from the probe::

CMO_Santiago says:
CO:  I can contact General Korack to find out if the Klingon Empire has any business in this part of space.

EO_O`Guinn says:
::nods as her fingers fly across her console:: CEO: I will try and see what we can give them without compromising any other stations.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CO: My readings indicate there is no reason for the sensor degradation we are experiencing.  The rocks around us are just that.  Rocks.

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Brings a force field around the Warp Core::

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CMO: I'd rather not worry the General about some Klingon metal that has been floating around for several hundred years...let's see what we can find first

ACTION:  As the probe nears the force field, it sends back readings of a weapon.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CO: Although....  ::taps console::  There is a low-level energy field surrounding us.  It connects the entire debris field in some way.

EO_O`Guinn says:
CEO: See if that helps...it's about all I can do for now.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
OPS: Well something is causing it...keep working on it

ACTION:  To the portside of the Nighthawk, a large piece of metal with some writing can vaguely be seen.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CO: The shielded object is a weapon of some sort.

CMO_Santiago says:
::Sees data scroll across her console.:: All:  Interesting very interesting....  ::looks more closely.::  It can't be..... ::Shakes head::  There is just no way... Legend... that is all it is.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CO: Aye Sir.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
OPS: A weapon?  Is it active?

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CO: Unknown, sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Checks the Sensors now:: EO:  That will help.. *OPS*: Check your sensors now

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CMO: Lieutenant you sound like you found something?

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CO: The weapon I am detecting is very small sir.  Definitely a handheld weapon of some sort.

EO_O`Guinn says:
CEO: Just in case you hear any complaints I shut down the holodecks to get that power. ::grins:: At least it wasn't the replicators...but they will be next.

CMO_Santiago says:
CO:  A little unbelievable... it will require more research..  I'll ask General Korack the legend behind...  The configuration is of a weapon.... a weapon that belong to Kahless...

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CO: I am reading a power spike throughout the debris field sir.  Raising shields to maximum.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
OPS: Beam the weapon over to Engineering, and the metal to Cargo bay one.

CMO_Santiago says:
CO:  Any way legend says that Kahless killed his brother with this weapon and then threw it into the see.  Of course the weapon has never been found.  Many a Klingon has tried.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CO: Aye Sir.  ::Attempts to lock onto the weapon:: Sir.  I am unable to get a transporter lock on the weapon.

FCO_Ring says:
 CO:  Shall I bring the ship to a stop?

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
EO: No problem...

CMO_Santiago says:
CO:  If this weapon is ever found, the glory days of the old empire would return.  If it is what it appears to be.. It is a very dangerous weapon.  Klingons would kill each other to get it.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
*CEO*: Chief...I'm sending you some debris we have found that I want you to take a look at

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
::beams the metal to the cargo bay::

ACTION:  A large piece of metal the size of a shuttle is beamed into the cargo bay.

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
*CO*: Understood.  EO: Shannon. You're with me.  Grab a kit.

CMO_Santiago says:
::Ponders what the sensors are telling her.::

EO_O`Guinn says:
CEO: Aye sir. ::stands up grabbing a kit sitting next to her station::

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CMO: Can you make head or tail of these readings?

CMO_Santiago says:
::Shrugs and figures the Capt is not interested in Klingon legend.::

CMO_Santiago says:
OPS:  Just what I've said so far....  ::Sighs.::

ACTION:  As the ship nears the center, fire lances out of a large asteroid, hitting the ships nacelle.

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Gets up and goes to the locker, grabs a huge case and pulls it out::

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CMO: Glory days?  Lieutenant from what you are telling me I am having serious doubts about disclosing this information to the Klingons

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CMO: After what I've experienced on this ship, anything is possible.  Including XO's changing their gender.....  and mythical Klingon weapons.  ::smiles::

FCO_Ring says:
 ::Brings the ship to a stop.::

CMO_Santiago says:
CO:  Not all Klingons are like that.  They are warriors yes...... but....

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Starts for the Cargo bay, behind him a metal case::

EO_O`Guinn says:
::follows along with the CEO:: CEO: I hope they had the good sense to erect a force field around whatever they beamed in.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CMO: I understand that Lieutenant....what is your suggestion?

ACTION:  The fine beam burns through the shields and works its way towards the other nacelle.

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
EO: Hopefully.

CMO_Santiago says:
CO:  Determine if it's what I think it is before you reveal anything and then only reveal it to a select group of people.  I know one that I would trust with my life, but that would be your call.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CO: Sir. We are under attack.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
OPS: Red alert... CMO: Very well...find out what it is

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
::Raises the status to red alert::

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Makes it to the cargo bay, and opens the case, and grabs a metal debris analyzer.::

ACTION:  The beam cuts off.

CMO_Santiago says:
::nods::  *CEO/EO*:  Sir, Ma'am can you lock your scans into my console on the bridge?

EO_O`Guinn says:
::looks up as the red alert klaxons go off:: CEO: I think we may have trouble.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
OPS: Where is it coming from?

Scenery:  In the cargo bay, lays a large piece of metal with three letters only remaining.  "Pej..."

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
Bridge: The beam is a very fine, very concentrated particle beam.  The signature is Romulan.

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
EO: Great!  Head back to engineering.  I'll head to the bridge.

ACTION:  A slight glow can be seen as one of the asteroids hatches appears.  Another beam of intense energy streaks from it, aimed at the Nighthawk.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
Self: Sons of...  OPS: Pinpoint the location the beam is originating from and lock the phasers onto it

EO_O`Guinn says:
CEO: Aye sir. ::turns and makes a dash back for ME::

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CO: Aye Sir.  ::makes it so::

EO_O`Guinn says:
*CMO*: It's going to have to wait. The CEO is on his way to the bridge and I am heading back for ME.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
*CEO*: Is there any way of reinforcing the shields.  Now?

CMO_Santiago says:
*EO*: Understood.

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Leaves the Cargo bay:: Computer: Seal Cargo bay 1.

Scenery:  One by one, the openings appear on the larger asteroids, emitting intense beams of energy that can prick the ships shields.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
OPS: Fire at will Lieutenant...

EO_O`Guinn says:
::cuts the corner and nearly slides into ME as she dashes for her station::

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
*OPS*: On my way up to the bridge.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CO: Sir.  Multiple energy weapons detected.  All the same signature of the beam that just pierced our shields.  Evasives are suggested.

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Takes the TL up::

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
FCO: Can we perform evasives in this debris field?

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
::extremely tense::

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Exits the Lift, runs to his station on the bridge::

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CO: Sir.  The energy signatures now number in the hundreds.

ACTION:  Power to shields decreasing rapidly.

EO_O`Guinn says:
::fingers fly over her console finding any place she can pull power from just to be on the safe side::

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
Bridge: We are losing power to the shields.  ::fingers flying, trying to locate the source of the power drain.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
*EO*: Reinforce the shields with Aux. Power.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
OPS: Arm the torpedoes fire full spread....

FCO_Ring says:
  CO:  Aye sir... leaving now.  However, there are too many for me to bypass.  suggest just getting us out.

EO_O`Guinn says:
*CEO*: Chief I would suggest that the Captain move all personnel to the center of the ship so we can shut down the outer areas for more power! ::starts pulling auxiliary power and feeding it to the shields:: You have all I can give you for now.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CO: Aye Sir. ::Fires, targeting the energy signatures::

ACTION: The torpedoes take out a section of the asteroids.  But as they vanish, those behind it take their place.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
::Transfers power flow control to engineering:: *EO*: You have control of ships power.

FCO_Ring says:
  ::Sets a course to take them as quickly out of the field as possible.::

CMO_Santiago says:
::looks at the sensors once more.  Readings not changing.:: Self:  Any Klingon would want this at all costs, the intense desire would drive them mad.  Maybe the Capt is right... don't tell the Klingons.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
FCO: Get us out here...  OPS: Clear us a path Lieutenant

EO_O`Guinn says:
*OPS*: Acknowledged.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CO: There are too many asteroids for us sir.  I suggest we go back and investigate further, before taking further action in this field.

EO_O`Guinn says:
::sits down and starts going over the power flow control rerouting as she can::

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CO: Aye Sir.  ::Clears a path for the Nighthawk out of the Debris field.

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Checks the Internal Scanners::

FCO_Ring says:
 CO:  ETA to edge, 3 minutes... ::increases speed to make it so, ignoring the smaller asteroids as they bounce off the shields::

EO_O`Guinn says:
::mutters:: Self: They can complain later. ::starts shutting down the replicators and anything else deemed nonessential::

ACTION: As the Nighthawk leaves the center area, the weapons fire decreases.  However, by destroying some of the asteroids, more debris from ships can be seen floating in the area.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CMO: What kind of weapon is this thing?  It has a pretty good defensive measure

FCO_Ring says:
 CO:  Clearing the area now sir.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CO: I am reading the remains of... multiple ships Sir.  All destroyed by the energy beam.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::pats the FCO on the shoulder:: FCO: Good job...

EO_O`Guinn says:
*CEO*: Right now I am giving you all I can without shutting down inhabited sections Chief.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
OPS: Multiple ships?  Can you tell what type of ships?

CMO_Santiago says:
CO:  I suspect it may not be the weapon itself, but the security or precautions around the weapon.  Or someone else has claimed it for themselves.  As for the weapit’sits a sword not unlike a bat'lath.

FCO_Ring says:
 CO:  Thank you sir.  Shall I resume course?

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
FCO: Hold our position for now...

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
CO: Sir. Mostly Klingon.  No complete ships though.  I would guess that the Klingons know of this place and have been trying to discover its secret for some time.

CEO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CO: Captain, what happened? *EO*: Understood.  Keep on it.

FCO_Ring says:
  ::nods::  CO:  Holding position.  And captain... our shadow seems to have returned.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CEO: Trying to figure that out right now Chief

EO_O`Guinn says:
::starts thinking about that program she had started on when she was at OPS before Allen's birth...wonders if it might be tweaked to be used here to pull power::

CMO_Santiago says:
CO:  Someone wants that weapon for themselves.  They are not happy we have it.  I wonder though... If it's a Klingon taking advantage of the fact we are near Romulan space.. implicating the Romulans in an attack against a Federation ship?

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
OPS: Deploy a buoy warning other ships of the danger....we'll resume course after we do that

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
OPS: From the number of ships that have been destroyed, they obviously consider it a riddle worth solving sir.

OPS_LtJG_Lessing says:
::Deploys Buoy::

CMO_Santiago says:
OPS:  A Klingon would die to get their hands on that sword.  At all costs.
