Summary
On the alien ship, the unexpected continues...  The captain suddenly finds himself in the vacuum of space, but the vigilance of operations quickly brings him aboard.  The MO has vanished along with the CMO.  The CTO and OPS found themselves alone in some kind of vast honeycomb of rooms, but the FCO was not with them.  The CSO found himself lost and frustrated and tried to fire his way into a room.  Admiral Harlan reassigned a new officer to the ship as tactical, reasons unknown.  And last but not least, the CNS has finally made some progress in hopefully making some headway.  He was able to activate a computer system that took him to a huge central system.  There he found one of the consoles that would operate for him in the hopes of locating the three missing officers.  However, he also found what was not expected…

The captain has ordered the crew back to the ship for an update as well as to work out a more efficient way of dealing with the station.  They command staff will be meeting the following morning.  Hopefully the missing crew are alright.

Announcements
Logs are officially due on Thursday, but I am ever so happy just to get them before Saturday in time for me to read them.  Welcome aboard to our new tactical officer.  I look forward to Robert keeping Tim on his toes.

Time Lapse
12 hours

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CO's Log 10502.19:  I seem to have fallen through the "floor", and I don't know exactly how I managed to do that.  I also can't seem communicate with any one on my commbadge, this could be bad....

<<<<<<<<<< Don't Blink... >>>>>>>>>>>>

ACTION:  A cry quickly silencened is heard from the MO.

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::looks at the display showing the species he shares traits with::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::begins to be aware of herself again::
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Feels cold, not sure what it is that they're in, but feeling there isn't much around them, if anything at all::
Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  The captain suddenly finds himself floating outside the station.
CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::is suddenly aware that he his floating outside the station::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::Feels cold and tries to remember why or where she is, reaching no conclusion. Fear begins to gain over her as around her she only feels void:

ACTION:  OPS on duty, caught off guard, quickly locks onto the captain and beams him aboard.

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::looks over at T'Rae and Anita, not sure if he sees correctly::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
MO: T'Rae! Anita? ::looks around for T'Rae but sees no sign of her, then rushes over to Anita behind the force field::

ACTION:  OPS and CTO find themselves in a dark room.

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*Duty_OPS*: Varesh to Nighthawk.
CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::is quickly transported back aboard the station...not entirely sure how he manage to get off the station::
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Looks around, but sees nothing, only darkness. The darkness makes him wonder what is going on, and whether he will ever see light again::
CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::grasping for air, as he had none just a few seconds ago::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::presses his hand against the force field while waiting for the ship to respond, wondering if he can disable it::::
Ens_Porter says:
 CO:  Captain, are you alright?  ::Leans down to help him.::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::as she feels her senses gaining familiar information her fear is controlled She speaks up:: CTO/FCO: Is anyone there? Commander Jackson? Lt Rose?
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::starts to move around feeling the walls::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*Duty_OPS*: Varesh to Nighthawk. Do a scan of the station for Doctor T'Rae, she's disappeared from my location.
CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::waves his arms frantically, trying to pull in the air he needs to breath::
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Feels around at the empty space around him. At least there's  breathable air, he thinks, once again feeling the cold. Then, a voice rings out from the darkness:: OPS: Commander? Where are you? ::Heads towards where the sounds seemed to come from::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::touches the force field again::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::follows the sound too, finding a wall:: CTO: I'm in a dark room ... your voice seems muffed, there must be something between us
Host Retupmoc says:
CNS: tildon do ray, se cooullata.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
Retupmoc: Say what?
CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::finally takes the breath he needs, and calms down enough to continue breathing::
Ens_Porter says:
CO:  Sir?
OPS_Blinking says:
*CNS*Aye sir, scanning
Host Retupmoc says:
CNS: Dolanda sea, condonda cooullata?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*OPS Blinking*: Thanks, and let me know what you find. Also, Doctor Santiago is trapped behind a forcefield, please see if you can lock onto her and beam her out?
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Bumps into a wall:: OPS: There seems to be a wall here too... What do you think, commander?
TO_Valtos says:
*Station* CTO: Commander? Sir, I can't find the Admiral. I'm afraid I lost her. In fact I can't seem to find anyone around here! ::Grumbles::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
Retupmoc: I do not understand one word you are saying. I assume you're the computer since its a disembodied voice. Apply a language filter to adjust for my speech patterns.
OPS_Blinking says:
CNS*:Dr T'Rae is not on scanners. Trying to gain a lock on Doctor Santiago
Adm_Harlan says:
::Comes up upon the young tactical officer.::  TO:  Given the size of this place, that is not surprising.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::gives Anita an encouraging look:: *Blinking*: Thanks. I'll inform the Captain.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::feels the wall:: CTO: Agreed. I still have my tricorder with me ::opens it::
CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::waves off the Ensign::  Porter: I'm fine...fine, just need a minute
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods and waits, just then realizing she can't see it anyway::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::walks over to the console again:: *CO*: Varesh to Anderson. Captain, Doctor T'Rae has just disappeared from the lab we were investigating and the ship can't pick her up on sensors at all.
OPS_Blinking says:
 CNS*I'm afraid the shielding is too hard to get a lock on Doctor Santiago

ACTION:  The harmonics of the tricorder echo into what seems a large chamber of many small rooms.

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*Blinking*: Thanks for trying, I will see what I can do from in here.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
Retupmoc: Computer, lower the forcefield in this chamber around the other person here.
TO_Valtos says:
ADM: There you are sir! I've been looking everywhere for you! What's going on? Where has everybody gone?!
CO_Capt_Anderson says:
*CNS*: Standby...  ::motions for Ens. Porter to look for T'Rae outside of the ship::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CTO: I am in a large chamber, with several small ones. I don't read  Lt Rose anywhere
Adm_Harlan says:
TO:  Everyone?  Did you not find the captain of the NightHawk?
OPS_Blinking says:
 CNS*Acknowledged. Nighthawk out
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Sighs:: OPS: Okay, keep looking.. I want to try and find some light here... ::Searches his pockets::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::starts tapping the console, looking for the forcefield controls::
Ens_Porter says:
::Scans the area.::  CO:  No sir.  Everything is as it should be.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::scratches head:: CTO: Err.. Commander, there is something rather odd here
TO_Valtos says:
ADM: No I haven't found the captain. This place is half the size of a standard moon. It's easy to get lost...
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Frowns:: OPS: Report? ::Still searching his pockets::
CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::pulls himself up::  Porter: What?  Nothing on biosensors, or the commbadge?

ACTION:  The forcefield around the CMO vanishes, along with the CMO.

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::looks up, incredulous:: Self: AAARGH! Just the forcefield, not the contents!
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CTO: The rooms have no ceilings. Have you seen a honeycomb? If youlook at this room from the top, thats what it looks like
Adm_Harlan says:
 TO:  Try comming him.  He should be about somewhere.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
Computer: Hey! Bring them back! Now!
Host Retupmoc says:
CNS:  Prub
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
Retupmoc: Blegh?
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Finds a battery pack, then remembers the torch he put on his belt, and takes it, and puts the battery pack on it:: Self: Ah.. light... ::Shines around the room, not sure what to make of that::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::fires the word into the air, unsure what it would do, then walks towards the doors::

ACTION:  The counselor finds himself in a large control room.

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::well, started to walk to the door, only to see a control room:: Self: Ok, that's strange. ::looks around::
TO_Valtos says:
*CO*: Captain Anderson? Sir I've found the Admiral, what are your orders?
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Looks up disturbed:: OPS: Alright... So, what do you suggest? Just blast our way out, or try to solve this maze?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::walks towards the controls and looks at them, trying to determine what they do:: *CO*: Uhm, Captain. I think I found something.

ACTION: The CTO´s light reveals a honeycomb of glass rooms, with no openings except above them.

OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CTO: The only connection between the rooms seems to be from the top of the walls. Have you tried communicating with the Nighthawk? I say we better try and use the transporter to explore this and find our FCO
TO_Valtos says:
*CTO*: Commander? Have you had any luck getting out of this maze of a station sir?
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::looks at the CTO as he ignites his light and smiles slightly, nodding in his direction::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::wonders if he should try out the controls:: Retupmoc: Can you understand me?

ACTION:  The CTO's comm badge starts chirping at him.

OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::listens to that too and sighs in relief. They are safe. But where is Rose?::
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods:: OPS: Good idea.. ::Prepares for a jump as the TO comes through:: *TO*: Jackson here.. Go ahead..
TO_Valtos says:
*CTO*: Sir I've found the Admiral, what should I do now?
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
*TO*: Uhm... ::Frowns:: I'm not sure... where are you right now?
Adm_Harlan says:
:: Her face straight, her eyes smile as she listens to the young ensign.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::leans closer to the controls, trying to make sense of what they are supposed to do::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::scans around with her tricorder, gathering information::
Host Retupmoc says:
CNS:  Acknowledged
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
Retupmoc: Ok, you seem to understand me now. What is this room and what is its purpose?

ACTION:  The CSO finds himself on one of the lower decks, following a long maze of corridors.

Host Retupmoc says:
CNS:  You requested the command center.
TO_Valtos says:
*CTO*: Sir, what was your last transmission. I didn't copy.
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
::Is Lost::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
Retupmoc: Command center? Please adjust the displays so I can read them.
CO_Capt_Anderson says:
Porter: Keep looking....   *CNS*: What have you found Counselor?
Ens_Porter says:
::With a nod, follows instructions.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
*TO*: What is you current position, again, what's your current position? ::Looks around himself, scanning the walls with his eyes::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CTO: It is probably the amount of walls between us and the outside of this ... honeycomb, which is interfering with the transmission
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::smiles slightly:: *CO*: Captain, I somehow found the command center. I said something nonsense to the computer, and it transported me here. I'm attempting to make sense of what is going on.

ACTION:  A light comes up to reveal the vastness of the control room.

CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
::Is in a long endless corridor::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::gasps as the lights come up, banks of controls going off into the distance::
TO_Valtos says:
*CTO*: I have no idea sir. I'm gonna try and get a hold of Capt. Anderson.  ::Turns to the Admiral:: ADM: Do you wish to return to the ship Admiral?

SCENERY:  The CSO comes to a turn to see a long corridor of closed doors.

CO_Capt_Anderson says:
*CNS*: Understood Commander...let me know if you can make heads or tails of the thing
Adm_Harlan says:
 TO:  I am fine here.  Go meet your new captain.
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods:: *TO*: Very well.. carry on.. ::Turns around again:: OPS: That wasn't too bad actually.. I've had worse.. ::Chuckles:: Now, to get out of here..? ::Once again prepares to jump::
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
::Turns round and sees a long passage of doors, all closed:: Self: Oh for the love of...
TO_Valtos says:
*CO*: Captain? I've found the Admiral sir? What are your orders?
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods and steps back:: CTO: Be my guest, I'll try to contact the Nighthawk
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*CO*: I'll try sir... but its endless banks of the stuff. I think I can get some kind of control over the computer. Shall I request that everybody is transported to this room?
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::taps her badge::*OPS*Gomes to Blinking. Ensign, I need you to look for Lt Rose anywhere on short and long range sensors
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods, as he braces himself, then flings his arms into the air, at the same time stretching his legs in a strong jump::

ACTION:  The CTO finds himself dangling along the edge of the wall.

OPS_Blinking says:
OPS*Scanning
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
Retupmoc: Which console is the main control interface?
CO_Capt_Anderson says:
*TO*: When did she go missing Ensign?
Host Retupmoc says:
CNS:  Please restate your question.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::looks up at the CTO, hoping he kept his working out holodeck programs up to date
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Grabs the edge of the wall and pulls up, swinging one arm over the wall, swinging his body so he can put a leg over the wall::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
Retupmoc: Please indicate the main control console with summaries of the station functions.
CO_Capt_Anderson says:
*CNS*: Would it help matters, Counselor?  If not, I'd like to keep everybody searching, it's a big place Commander
OPS_Blinking says:
 OPS*: No signs of her Commander. She is not the only officer missing, Drs T'Rae and Santiago are no where to be scanned as well
TO_Valtos says:
*CO* Well uh... not really her sir. Me. I kind of got ahead of myself and uh... ::coughs and antennae begin to twitch:: got um... lost sir. ::coughs again::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*CO*: It was just an idea, sir. I'll see if I can figure out where the doctors went to.
Host Retupmoc says:
CNS:  There is no primary station.  Please access your console.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods gravely as she hears::*OPS Blinking*Understood. Gomes out
CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::smiles at the TO's answer::  *TO*: Understood Ensign...do you think you can make your way back, or should we transport you?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::settles at the nearest console:: Retupmoc: Show me the location of all personnel on the station. Indicate the personnel who arrived with me in a different color.
Host Retupmoc says:
CNS:  Incorrect station.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
Retupmoc: Then show me which station I have to access for that information.
TO_Valtos says:
::grins:: *CO*: As much as it's a wound to my Andorian pride sir, you'd better just transport me... justto be on the safe side. ::reaches up and grabs antannae to stop them twitching::

ACTION:  A station lights up back near the far wall.

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
Self: Great. ::speaks up:: Retupmoc: What does this station I am sitting at control? ::makes note of the console he should get to::
CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::laughs:: *TO*: Understood, Ensign.... Standby!  ::nods to Porter to have Valtos transported back::
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
::Sets his phaser to max and tries to blast through one of the doors::
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::still swinging on the wall, he finally gets a log over the wall and pulls up, laying on it for a moment before swinging his legs over on the other side::

ACTION:  The phaser fire bounces back at the CSO, singing his hair.

OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::looks up at the CTO::CTO: Half way here, wherever here is
CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::watches the screen and sees phaser fire near the CSO's position::  *CSO*: Lieutenant... is everything alright?

ACTION:  The TO finds himself on the transporter padd on the ship

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::gets up from the console, ready to trek across the room to the one he is looking for, waiting for the computer to answer him::
Host Retupmoc says:
CNS: Hydroponics
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
Self: Ok that was not such a good idea. *CO*: Yeah… everything’s fine just a little .........um
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Slowly lowers himself over the wall onto the floor, making a soft landing:: OPS: Okay.. How many more walls between us?
TO_Valtos says:
CO: Good to see you sir!
CO_Capt_Anderson says:
TO: Glad to see you arrived in one piece, Ensign.... sorry about the trouble
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
Retupmoc: Thank you. ::starts walking along the seemingly endless rows of consoles, heading for the one where he can see where the rest of the crew is:: *CO*: Captain, I am heading to where I can see what the crew dispersion on the station is, hoping I can locate the doctors.
CO_Capt_Anderson says:
*CSO*: Lieutenant....would you like to be transported back?  It's been a long day...
CO_Capt_Anderson says:
*CNS*: Understood Commander....hopefully if you can locate them, we can transport them back
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*CO*: Amen, sir. Amen!
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
::Waves hand to move some of the smoke and notices not even a dent in the door:: *CO*: No im fine just a little score to settle.
TO_Valtos says:
CO: What do you want me to do sir? 
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CTO: More than we can jump. We can ask the Nighthawk to beam us anywhere. If we can use badges they can probably get a lock on us
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CTO: The question is, where do we want to go. They can't detect FCO Rose

ACTION:  The CSO hears the sounds of tiny scratching on metal.

CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods:: OPS: Fair enough... We'll probably have to head back to the ship anywhere.. Where else do you think we can go?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::walks along, glancing at the consoles as he passes them::
CO_Capt_Anderson says:
TO: I think we are going to call it a day...it seems half of my crew is lost or missing, I got transported into space today.  ::as he's thinking he turns to Porter::  Porter: Call all the crew back....except for Varesh, give him a little more time
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CTO: From what I gathered, Rose is not the only missing officer. I'd say we concentrate on finding them before exploring further
TO_Valtos says:
CO: As far as I know, the doctors are missing...
Ens_Porter says:
CO:  Aye sir.  Getting a transporter on all known crew whereabouts and bringing them back to the ship.
TO_Valtos says:
CO: Who is missing anyway sir?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::reaches the console the computer indicated, looking at the softly glowing screen:: Retupmoc: Show me the location of all life-forms on the station, using different colors for them, labelling them as well. Specifically those who arrived with me.

ACTION:  In small groups or one by one, the crew of the Nighthawk are beamed back to the ship, each group quickly leaving so more can arrive, until only the command crew remain in the transporter room.
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
::Gets out tricorder and starts scanning the door to see what its made of::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::feels the tingling of the transporter:: CTO: I guess someone decided for us
CO_Capt_Anderson says:
TO: We have several doctors missing, our FCO...you were just a minute ago, and I think the CSO is turned around pretty bad.  It's time to call it a day...I'm going to give the Counselor some more time so that he can hopefully locate those that are missing.  But everyone else is coming back...

ACTION:  As the console recognizes the counselors DNA signature, it is activated.  The screen floods with life signs through out the station.
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
::Gets beamed away before scans can be completed::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::looks at the screen:: Self: You have GOT to be joking!
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods, then gets beamed to the ship, and stays in the TR with the CO::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::materializes in the transporter room::
CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::sees everyone arrive in the transporter room::  ALL: Welcome back everyone.... we're going to call it a day.  Especially with so many of us getting lost in these passages, somebody is going to get hurt or transported off the ship!  ::still angry at that::
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods at the captain, then speaks:: CO: Sir, this is madness... We can't possibly control the whole ship with the few crew we have to offer...
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::eyes transfixed on the screen:: *CO*: Varesh to Anderson. Captain, I have some information here... there are LOTS of life forms on this station, and three not matching the others. I guess it’s the Doctors and one other... but they are scattered all over. Shall I attempt to have the computer beam them back to the ship?
CO_Capt_Anderson says:
*CNS*: Are you sure it's them Commander?
CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::sees the CSO's hair a bit singed::  CSO: A little trouble with your phaser lieutenant?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*CO*: They are the only ones not matching any other of the others. I'll try to get visual confirmation first.
TO_Valtos says:
CTO: Are all your missions this,,., complicated sir?
