Summary
After traveling a day towards their target location, the Nighthawk ran into an Ion Storm.  The Ion Storm started to follow them.  To make things worse the synthetic crystals given to Nighthawk were giving Engineering problems.  They would have to replace the crystals with the ones given to them, previously. As the Ion storm moved towards them, the scanners picked up what seemed to be ships within the storm.  But the whole wing was pushed back, back towards a system within Coobla space.  Then a commsignal came through, it was a resemblance of Lt. Jackson, but had what seems to be an Insectoid Ancestory.   Where did this young male come from?  How does Jackson tie in?  Find out next time?

Announcements
Congratulations to Chris E, Chris A, Arlene, Sam for getting Medals, Starfleet Distinguished Service Medal, The Star Cross, Vulcan Scientific Legion of Honor and Starfleet Medal of Valor, respectively.  Tim got promoted to Lieutenant Commander!  Congratulations to all! 
Great to see those logs in, continue the good job!

Time Lapse
10 Minutes

Host SO_Rose says:
Summary:  A fleet of sixteen vessels had been prepared for a rescue mission heading into an alternate dimension.  With a specially modified drive that had come from the Bellicose put on the USS Scimitar, a rift was opened for the ships to pass through.  The USS Nighthawk, as the most knowledgeable about the alternate region was to lead the group.
Host SO_Rose says:
They passed through the rift first with the USS Scimitar, holding the rift open, following last.  Unfortunately, the different wings were separated somehow as the subspace fold collapsed.  Next….?
ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
Acting Captain's Log: Stardate 10408.07: We are enroute to our target location.  We are back in the Lion's Den again.  We have all lost contact with our task force and our way home.  I hope to find an alternative way home after we have accoplished our goals.

::Shuffles back into sickbay after a few hours sleep.  She has a bone to pick with V since he bullied her to bed when she had work to do.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::waits for Anita to appear in sickbay, smiling as she appears::
AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Sitting on the bridge, in the center chair, lowering alert status to Yellow Alert::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Growls as she sees the object of her disdain at the moment.:: CNS:  YOU!
ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Sitting in his ready room, reading the latest repair reports::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::smiles sweetly:: CMO: I have a name.
SO_Rose says:
::Down in the main lab, listening to the clicks recorded just before the collapse of the rift.::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CNS:  So I hear... bully comes to mind... back stabber and if you did not go and get some sleep yourself I'm removing you from duty.
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Takes a PADD from a passing nurse.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: Would I bully you into doing something I didn't plan on doing myself? Check sickbay logs - I was in my quarters sleeping the sleep of the dead for at least 5 hours. ::looks her up and down:: You could do with about 16 more.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Sips on the last of his coffee and closes his padd down::
SO_Rose says:
::Frowns as she puts it through the computer and actually comes up with something.::  Odd...
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Runs a hand through her hair.:: CNS:  Yeah I could but you know how it is...no rest for the weary or insane.  ::Gives V a hug to show she really isn't mad.  Looks at the PADD once again.::  Looks like we got through this one.
AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Looks as the lighting returns to normal and weapons go to inactive:: Helm: Helm, how are we doing on our route?
Del_CO_Ralos says:
@::sitting in the Captain's chair:: FCO: Helm, stay in formation with the Nighthawk and Raven
CSO_Ens_G`dar says:
::sits at a computer console glaring over a file on the fold technology::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::returns the hug and goes to the replicator and gets Anita a vast mug of coffee, getting fruit juice for himself:: CMO: Well, lets get onto business. Rounds and then see who and what we need to report to the Captain.
SO_Rose says:
*CSO*:  Sir... I finally have some info on those clicks we recorded.
CSO_Ens_G`dar says:
*SO*: Excellent.
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Takes the coffee from V.:: CNS:  Now I know why I love you.. ::Holds up the mug::  Yeah I want to check on my head case..there was some worry I may have to go back in.  If I do I'm going to need your magic fingers on this one...he has weak vessels in the head and he received a head trauma coming through the rift.  ::Frowns::  And he is still
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Puts the mug away and heads onto the bridge::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
unconcious.
Del_CO_Ralos says:
@::eager to find some information that would lead to the whereabouts of the President::  <Helm>: Aye Captain...staying with the Nighthawk
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::takes the PADD from her, steering her into her office and making her sit down:: CMO: It looks very tricky. ::reviews the PADD while he sips his juice.::
SO_Rose says:
*CSO*:  Well, I am not so certain about it.  It was a langauge.  From what is called the Dreamscapes.  And until now, I have never heard of them before.  It says, "A gift from a friend."
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Hops onto the bridge:: AXO: Status Report.
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CNS:  YEah ::Takes a seat on the couch:: To make it worse he is a bleeder.
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Rests her head on the back of the couch and closes her eyes for a moment resting the coffee cup on her lap.::
CSO_Ens_G`dar says:
*SO*: A gift from a friend? wonder what that could mean
AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
<Helm> AXO: We´re on route, ETA to destination is roughly 6 days..
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::nods, reading onward:: CMO: So I see. Clotting agents? OR do we clamp the veins while doing repairs?
SO_Rose says:
*CSO*:  I have no idea sir.
AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
Helm: Very good.. ::Turns around:: ACO: Well, we´re at yellow alert now, sir, helm reports we´re on our plotted route, ETA roughly 6 days... All systems look nominal..
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Sighs:: CNS:  I'll have to see what the swelling situation is.  We may not have a choice in how we proceed.
CSO_Ens_G`dar says:
*SO*: Have we any "Friends" in this universe at all
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Walks over to science:: AXO:Very well.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::mutters some Klingon curse and sighs:: CMO: Well, I'll keep the mental link to keep track if he goes into shock while we work. ::puts the PADD down:: What of the other cases, or will Tessie and the team deal with them?
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
CSO: What have you gotten so far?
Del_CO_Ralos says:
@::stands up from his chair rather impatient about getting to their destination::
CSO_Ens_G`dar says:
ACO: Sir the Ion storm is altering course. Im also getting some unusual energy readings
SO_Rose says:
*CSO*:  In a sense, I think we could say we do at least on one level or another.  But we did not encounter these dreamscape peple.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
CSO: What kind of readings?
AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Remains seated in the center chair. turning around to face Monroe and the CSO::
CSO_Ens_G`dar says:
ACO:some sortof unusual energy readings
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CNS:  Tessie and the take care of it.  Most of it were minor to fairly serious injuries.  My head case was the worse of the lot.  ::Takes another sip of coffe then stands up.::
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
CSO: Can you be more specific?  How much of a course correction are we going to be making?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::gets up as well:: CMO: No time like the present. Lets go look in on the patient, shall we? ::puts a quick reassuring hand on her arm and leads the way::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Slowly nods and follows V out of the office.::
CSO_Ens_G`dar says:
ACO: If we have to go around, about another week
AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Frowns:: CSO: Are these two phenomena related to eachother?
CSO_Ens_G`dar says:
ACO: the ion storm is interfering.  But it appears to be some kind of energy.
Del_CO_Ralos says:
@::hears a beeping noise coming from his science station:: SCI: What is it?  <SCI>: Some unusual readings Captain, they may have something to do with the ion storm ahead of us.  Not sure...
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::goes to the biobed and pulls up the readings on the panel, frowining as he reads::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Heads over to the biobed of her head patient.  Looking up at his vitals she frowns.::
CSO_Ens_G`dar says:
AXO: Im unsure
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Nods:: CSO: Can we go through it?
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Pulling out her tricorder she waves it over his head muttering.:: CNS:  Great, just great...more swelling and some more bleeding.  There is no help for it my friend... ::Turns to the nurse.::
Del_CO_Ralos says:
@SCI: Keep working on it...
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
Edith:  Get me some clotting agents and have him prepped please.
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
<Edith> ::Nods:: CMO:  Right away Doctor.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::keeps silent, brushing the patient's mind with his senses::  CMO: He's not distressed yet.
Del_CO_Ralos says:
@<SCI>: Captain...the strange energy readings, their more like bursts of energy.  They don't appear to be random, maybe some sort of communication
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Sighs:: CNS:  Good that is a plus for him.  ::Steps back as two orderlies come a move the patient.::
Del_CO_Ralos says:
@::turns to Ops:: OPS: Hail the Nighthawk... <OPS>: Aye sir...
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::stands back and watches the orderlies move the patient.:: CMO: Well, the sooner we deal with the swelling, the better for him.
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CNS:  Ready to get sterilized?
CSO_Ens_G`dar says:
::continues to monitor the storm::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
:grins:: CMO: Luckily I know you mean for surgery.
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Grins:: CNS:  Some men wouldn't and would run screaming.. ::Begins to laugh for the first time in hours.::
AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Looks up as he feels something run past his back. It felt kind of uncomfortable, but it was gone the moment they were there:: ACO: Incoming hail from the Delgado, captain...
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Walks behind the helm:: CSO: Distance to this ion storm.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
AXO: Patch them through.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::chuckles:: CMO: Nita, I know you too well gypsy. If you meant it any other way, I'd only find out after its a foregone conclusion.
CSO_Ens_G`dar says:
ACO: About ten minutes
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Smiles Sweetly:: CNS:  And I guarantee that you would not feel a thing.  ::Enters the decontamination room.::
Del_CO_Ralos says:
@COMM: USS Nighthawk: Captain Monroe...
AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Puts the hail on the screen:: COM: Delgado: This is lieutenant Jackson on the Nighthawk.. Anything out there we should know about, Delgado? ::Smiles::

ACTION:  The energy readings on the USS Delgado 'dim' briefly before returning to normal.

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::enters the decon room after Anita:: CMO: Well, I know that... but I would have to do nasty things to you afterwards of course.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Feels wierd being called 'Captain':: COM:Delgado: Yes Captain.
Del_CO_Ralos says:
@COMM: USS Nighthawk: Were picking up some strange energy readings...my science officer believes that they may be some sort of communication.  They don't appear to be random
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CNS:  Yeah right.... the only problem with that is you'd enjoy it then I'd have to be nasty back... ::Grins::  Where would it all end.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: I shudder to think. ::goes through the decon procedures:: Are you and Richard talking?
Del_CO_Ralos says:
@<SCI>::sees the energy readings 'dim' on her console for a second::
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
COM: Delgado: Hm... We should slow down and check it out.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
CSO: Scan the Ston and check the patterns and corrolate it with any known communication pattern.
Del_CO_Ralos says:
@COMM: USS Nighthawk: I would prefer not to stall in our mission of finding the President for a possible communication signal.  I was wondering with your experience if you knew of any type of communication like this in this galaxy
AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
<TAC1> ::Sees something come up on scanners:: AXO/ACO: Sirs, there´s something showing on scanners, some kind of solid body... It´s not very large...
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Sighs:: CNS:  Barely... ::Grabs a gown from one of the hooks.::  Richard Ironwolf... he was well named...stubborn as they come.  He tends to forget I'm just as stubborn.  The man had the audacity to accuse me of putting my work above my family... He used the Coobla incident as proof.  As if I asked to be kidnapped and made some spoiled brats pet.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
AXO: Tactical Alert!
AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Abruptly turns around in his chair to face tactical. He gets up and walks towards it:: TAC1: Are we in visual range yet?
CSO_Ens_G`dar says:
:scans the storm and instructs the computer to look for any paterns:: *SO* Can you monitor the energy readings?
Del_CO_Ralos says:
@::recieves a call from engineering::  <Eng>: Captain...something is wrong with the new crystals.  I'm not sure, you should probably come down here
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::finishes up with the decon and enters the surgery:: CMO: Seems I am going to have to knock him on his backside and explain a few things to him. Since the two of you are not doing a good job of it.
SO_Rose says:
*CSO*:  Sure... I will be up in a moment.
CSO_Ens_G`dar says:
ACO: Sir the ion storm is increasing in intensity
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CNS:  Just don't bruise him too much...I like the way he looks.  ::Holds her hands out as a Nurse gloves her.::
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
CSO: How much is it increasing?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::grins before his face disappears behind a mask:: CMO: I'll make sure his pretty face isn't marked. The rest you can fix up.
AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Looks at the tactical officer:: TAC1: Alright, I´ll take it from here... ::Glances over his shoulder at Monroe:: ACO: Captain, going to red alert.. The Chair is all yours if you want it... ::Turns back to his console and activates Red Alert::
CSO_Ens_G`dar says:
ACO: Magnitude of two
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Walks over to the Command Chair::
Del_CO_Ralos says:
@*Eng*: Aye Chief...I'll be there in a minute!  ::waits for Captain Monroe's responce:: <Tac>: Sir...were picking up some sort of object in the ion storm.  Correction several objects
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Chuckles:: CNS:  Maybe it will depend on my mood.  ::Puts on her own mask then heads into the surgical area where her patient is waiting.::
SO_Rose says:
::Puts away her report on the dreamscape folks for later and heads out the door.::
AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Initiates detailed scans of the area to make sure it´s the only object nearby:: ACO: Running scans of the area now, full spectrum...
Del_CO_Ralos says:
@Tac: Raise the shields and go to yellow alert
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
COM: Delgado: I want your ship to come out of warp.  We might have Hostiles.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::goes to the operation table, standing opposite Anita:: CMO: I trust your judgement on that. ::looks down at the patient:: Lets get that swelling down.
Del_CO_Ralos says:
<@>COMM: Nighthawk: Understood...droping from warp and going to Red Alert.  We're following your lead Captain!  Delgado out
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
Helm: Drop us out of warp.  1/2 impulse.
AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Sighs:: Self: oh no... ::Turns around in his chair:: ACO: I´m picking up some faint blips on scanners... There may be more than one out there...
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Takes a deep breath and looks down at her patient.::  CNS:  Ok lets do it... ::Holds out her hand.:: Laser scaple.

ACTION:  The USS Delgado and USS Raven follow the USS NightHawks lead.

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::hands over the instrument, going into a light trance to monitor the patient's mental state while the operate.::
Del_CO_Ralos says:
@Helm: Stay with the Nighthawk...  ::turns to Tac:: Tac: Go to red alert...standby all weapons  ::walks over to his chair and sits down::
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
AXO: Pull power to weapons.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
<Helm>: ACO: Aye sir. ::Drops out of warp::
CSO_Ens_G`dar says:
ACO: Sir the magnitude is increasing by a factor of two the closer we get to it

ACTION:  Something interupts Varesh's trance.

AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Nods:: ACO: Aye sir.. ::Pulls up resource management an allocates some more to weapon systems::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::activiting the scaple she makes her first  incision...cutting from left to right and the top of the forehead.  Once finished she pulls back the skin.::
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
CSO: Scan what is ahead of us?
CSO_Ens_G`dar says:
::scans::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::frowns and looks around a moment, trying to identify the interruption, then turns his attention back to the patient, monitoring him again::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CNS:  Bone cutter... ::Holds her hand out once again.::
Del_CO_Ralos says:
@::wonders what is going on?  What kind of hostiles these are...are they the ones that took the President?::
AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Frowns yet again:: ACO: Captain... The objects... They seem to be hidden in the ion storm...
CSO_Ens_G`dar says:
ACO: the ion storm interferring.  I am picking up flashes of what tactical is.  Indications are it could be a ship... possible 6 of them
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::hands over the instrument, focusing on the patient, ready to clamp veins if needed::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Cuts the bone revealing the inside of the brain... blood gushes out...::
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
AXO: Broadcast hail. Tell them we are from the Federation and We mean them no harm.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
CSO: Prepare a Class 1 Probe.
CSO_Ens_G`dar says:
ACO: The storm is moving towards us
CSO_Ens_G`dar says:
::Readies probe::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::mutters and starts mopping the blood up as much as he can:: CMO: I see what you mean by bleeder!
AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Sends out said message on all hailing frequencies:: ACO: Transmitting now...
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
Helm: Back us off.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
<Helm>: Aye Sir.  Backing off.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
CSO: Fire when ready.
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Curses under her breath....:: CNS:  Crap another blood vessel is about to burst.....  ::Begins to work fevorishly.
AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Charges phaser banks and loads torpedoes:: ACO: Charging phasers, readying photons...

ACTION:  The edges of the ion storm seem to expand as it approaches the three ships.

CSO_Ens_G`dar says:
ACO:Probe away ::Launches probe::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::works over the problem of what knocked him out of trance at the back of his head while they work... it was alien, but somehow familiar:: CMO: I'll clamp while you repair.
Del_CO_Ralos says:
@<SCI>: Sir...the ion storm is moving in our direction.  Helm: Move us out of way...
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Barely hears V....fingers working carefully over the brain.::

ACTION:  The probe heads into the ion storm.  As it enters, a breif flare of light is seen and telemetry ends before it had a chance to begin.

Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
AXO: Inform all ships to back off.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
CSO: Anything from the probe?
CSO_Ens_G`dar says:
ACO: we have lost probe telemetry. I think its been destroyed
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::works in concert with Anita, seemingly in rapport with each other, knowing what to do without much words:: CMO: Watch that vein.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
AXO: Anything from the hail?
AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Nods, tapping some buttons:: COM: Raven/Delgado: Nighthawk to Raven and Delgado, please, take your distance from the ion storm...
SO_Rose says:
::Arrives on the bridge and with a glance around, heads over to the CSO::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Not lifting her head.:: CNS:  I see it, I see it...  Man what a mess...  This guy is determined to make my day go bad.
CSO_Ens_G`dar says:
SO: Take Science II
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
All: Suggestions?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::soothes the patient mentally:: CMO: Not if I can help it. He's not under any stress yet. ::barely notices the nurse clearing away the blood as fast as she can::
Del_CO_Ralos says:
@<OPS>: Recieving a hail from the Nighthawk...they want us to move away from the ion storm.  Helm: Do it!  Get us a safe distance away
AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
ACO: No reply, sir... And if I may, it would seem we´re being herded... Driven to a certain place... But where would that be, and what are we supposed to meet there?

ACTION:  As the ion storm seems to spread out further, its intensity stables and indistinct objects can be seen visually.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CNS:  Thank heavens for small wonders.  The less he feels the better.
AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Checks the trajectory of the path the ion storm as taken:: ACO: Maybe a trajectory of the storm would help?
CSO_Ens_G`dar says:
ACO: I wouldnt recoment firing torpedoes. they would probably meet the same fate as the probe
Del_CO_Ralos says:
@OPS: Send a confirmation back to the Nighthawk...  <OPS>: Aye Sir...  COMM: USS Nighthawk: Message recieved
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: Time for the clotting agents I think. ::moves his hand a bit to let the nurse do her work::
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
CSO: How about a Burst from our deflector dish?
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Oversews another vessel.::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CNS:  Do what you need to.
SO_Rose says:
::Watches, not wanting to interrupt.::
AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Glances to Monroe:: ACO: Sir, would you think that is wise? They haven´t shown any sign of being agressive, nor violent... Perhaps they don´t want to do any harm, whoever they are...
CSO_Ens_G`dar says:
ACO Sensors cannot lock on to objects
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::nods at Elaine to inject the patient with the clotting agents while he and Anita keeps working:: CMO: Done. It should help.

ACTION:  The lights in sickbay dim briefly.

Del_CO_Ralos says:
@<SCI>: Captain...sensors are picking up a planetary system at the edge of the coobla space.  The ion storm seems to be "pushing" us there...
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Stops what she is doing as the lights dim.:: CNS:  What the....

ACTION:  Those in engineering begin to look for the power fluctuation.

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::worries at the problem of what knocked him out of trance on a very subconscious level of his mind:: CMO: I'm on it. Keep working. ::raises his voice a bit:: *Bridge*: Varesh to the bridge. What's going on with the power systems? We're in the middle of a difficult surgery, Captain.
Del_CO_Ralos says:
@SCI: Any signs of life?
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
CSO: I want a way to get around this Ion Storm.
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Goes back to what she was doing as the light stabilizes once again.::
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
*CNS*: We are in a little crunch here Counselor.  Please stand by.
CSO_Ens_G`dar says:
SO: Anything on those emmisions?
Del_CO_Ralos says:
@<*Eng*>: Captain...were experiencing microfractures in the synthasized crystals.  This isn't good, if they fracture anymore we won't have any propulsion
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CNS:  He is in a crunch... I'll give him a crunch if this guys dies... ::Muttering.::
AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Thinks briefly:: ACO/CSO: What about this... a brief reverse burst from our impulse engines, and once we´re well clear, we go to warp... Forward, that is...
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::nods even though Sid can't see him:: *CO*: Understood. Shall we switch to backups just in case, sir? ::injects more clotting agents as Anita works::
SO_Rose says:
CSO:  Err... not yet sir.  One moment.  ::Goes to the other station and logs into it, pulling up the sensor readings.::
Del_CO_Ralos says:
@<SCI>: Aye Captain...there are life signs possibly Coobla can't tell from here
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Looks over to his science team:: CSO/SO: Will it work?
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
*CNS*: It would be wise to.
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Shakes her head:: CNS:  Go to back ups we can't take the chance..we got many hours of work here.
Del_CO_Ralos says:
@*Eng*: Do what you can Chief, were going to need them!  Helm: Head towards the planetary system...let the Nighthawk what were up to!
SO_Rose says:
::Looks over at the CSO::
CSO_Ens_G`dar says:
AXO: No sir not possible. the storm is too large and powerfull. I dont believe this is a natural phenomenon
AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
CSO: Not a natural... So, you´re saying that in this cloud, there may be people, or creatures... controlling the storm, having it act as a cover for them?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*CO*: Done, sir. Varesh out. ::nods:: CMO: I agree. ::turns to the nurse:: Elaine: Elaine, get Tessie to switch us to back-ups.
Host NightWind says:
<Engineering>  *AXO*: Sir... there appears to be a problem with the synthetic crystals we are using.  Do you want me to put the old crystals that were given to us back?  And if so, we will need to go offline so we can make the change.
Del_CO_Ralos says:
@<Ops> ::hails the Nighthawk and informs them that the Delgado is heading towards the coobla planetary system on their sensors.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
CSO: In that case.  AXO: Prepare a full volley of torpedoes.  Let's see how much cover they will give them
CSO_Ens_G`dar says:
AXO:Possibly. it could be some sort of booby trap or a type of cloaking device

ACTION:  The three ships are being herded toward a small system at the border of the Coobla space.

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
<Elaine> ::nods and makes a quick call while getting more stuff to mop up the blood::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
Elaine:  While your at it.. sythnazie more blood... AB-

Scenery:  The system being approached has a small yellow sun with 4 planets orbiting it.

AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Sighs: ACO: As if we didn´t have enough problems yet... If we are to go through with the swap, we won´t have power for anything except perhaps SFI, IDF, shields and life support.... I wouldn´t advise it at this moment...
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
<Elaine> CMO:  Yes Doctor... ::makes another call.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::gives a weak smile:: CMO: Buckets full it seems. Man can he bleed. The clotting agents barely works.
Del_CO_Ralos says:
@SCI: Scan the system...see if there is anything special/unusual about this system

Del_CO_Ralos says:
@SCI: Scan the moon, find out the source of the energy readings...

ACTION:  Upon the view screen appears the face of a young male who very much resembles Lt Jackson in many ways... sans the evidence of insectoid ancestory.
