U.S.S. Pendragon
10301.11
Humpty Dumpty pt.1

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
Executive Officer's Supplemental Log, Stardate 10301.11. The Pendragon is currently enroute to the Broken Anomaly, in a rarely used stretch of the Cochrane trade route. We are to investigate intermittent distress signals that other ships in the area have detected recently.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
We are nearing the Anomaly, and out of what I like to consider a healthy dose of paranoia, we are approaching under yellow alert....

CTO_Rofax says:
::scans for the usual hidden disaster that almost always is hiding in these parts::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::on the bridge at her station::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: Stay alert...there's bound to be some rough subspace eddies in the area.

CEO_DeRidder says:
::walks over to the master systems display and begins to try to pull up a diagnostic screen::

CNS_Luchena says:
<FCO_Joe>XO:  Aye Sir.  ::stays alert::

TO_Choi says:
::Running his hand through his freshly cut hair, all while the TL is making its way to the bridge::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
::gives a quick, satisfied nod::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::assigns quarters to the new crew::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Any signs of that distress signal?

CNS_Luchena says:
::reminisces about shore leave::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::once that is complete monitors sub-space::

CEO_DeRidder says:
::looks down at the PADD at some of the notes and instructions, then starts punching out a few more commands on the console::

CNS_Luchena says:
::smiles contentedly::

TO_Choi says:
::Steps onto the bridge and pauses for a sigh of relief::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  No, Sir.  There's nothing on sub-space

CTO_Rofax says:
XO: Cmdr, ETA to the coordinates is 2 hours.  However, I am picking up the Broken Anomaly 15 minutes out.

Host Karriaunna says:
Action: A gentle energy wave sweeps the ship.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
CTO: Thank.... ::frowns:: OPS: What was that?

CNS_Luchena says:
::experiences an odd sensation::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::Scans:: XO:  Some kind of energy wave, Sir.  I'm trying to determine what type now.

CTO_Rofax says:
::walks to SCI 1::  TO: Take TAC 1, continuous scans.  I'm heading for the Science Scanners.

TO_Choi says:
::Walks to the secondary Tac console::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: notices a power wave effect but ignores it::

CEO_DeRidder says:
::looks over to another panel as an alarm sounds::  *XO* Engineering to bridge.....

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
CNS: Counselor, anything strange in the vicinity?

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
*CEO*: O'Dunn here...what's up, Chief?

CNS_Luchena says:
Thinks to self:  Anything "strange"?  On the Pendragon?

CTO_Rofax says:
::steps to SCI 1 console and plugs away to figure out what that was::

TO_Choi says:
::Secures his station:: CTO: Glad to be back, Commander ?

CNS_Luchena says:
::shakes his head as he attempts to clear his mind::

CEO_DeRidder says:
*XO* We've just experienced a brief power surge in the EPS system, ship wide.  Very Very brief.  Nothing that should effect systems long term, but being within the vicinity of this anomaly, I thought you should know.

CTO_Rofax says:
::shakes head in a distinctive 'no' pattern towards Choi::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
*CEO*: What caused it? Subspace distortions?

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  That energy wave felt gentle.  I can't explain it any further.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Sir, the energy is reading as something that is similar to that given off by the anomaly, only much weaker.

CTO_Rofax says:
XO: Cmdr, sensors show that the anomaly has spread out from the original area.  And is continuing to spread...  ::punches away::

CNS_Luchena says:
::gets up from his chair::

CNS_Luchena says:
::stretches::

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  All telepaths aboard the ship hear voices talking.  But the words are unclear and lasts only a minute.

CEO_DeRidder says:
::scans the EPS grid:: *XO* It appears to be the energy wave Commander....   I recommend that we maintain our distance...

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: Drop to warp 2.

TO_Choi says:
::Smiles in the CTO's direction before looking over to the LRS screen::

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  Sir!  I heard voices.

CEO_DeRidder says:
::steps back away from the console as he hears voices::

CTO_Rofax says:
::shakes head vigorously::  Self: Now what?

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
*CEO*: Noted, Chief.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
CNS: Voices?

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  I couldn't make out what they were saying and it lasted only a minute.

CEO_DeRidder says:
~~~CNS: Mikal....   Was that you?~~~

CNS_Luchena says:
CTO:  Did you hear them?

CNS_Luchena says:
~~~CEO:  No, but I heard it too.~~~

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::wonders what in the universe is going on here::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
CNS: Keep me informed.

CNS_Luchena says:
::slowly strolls around the bridge trying to tune it back in::

CTO_Rofax says:
CNS: Yes, Lt. I heard it as well.  Uncertain and unclear as to the message....

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
::wonders why the FCO hasn't reduced speed yet::

CNS_Luchena says:
::nods::  CTO:  Yes.  Just like that.

Host Karriaunna says:
::Slightly more clearer::   Voices:  How mu... That is wh... you... said... Mayb... th... time...

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Why has the effect spread? Warp traffic is minimal here.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::keeps a close eye on sub-space as well as power allocation::

CTO_Rofax says:
XO: Cmdr, It has grown continually...  almost unchecked it would seem.   ::tires to hone in on a cause::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  I don't know, Sir.  It could be a natural phenomenon ...

CTO_Rofax says:
CNS: You hear that?

CTO_Rofax says:
::repeats what little he can that came through::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Could be...but somehow I doubt it.

CNS_Luchena says:
<FCO_Joe>::  reduces speed::

TO_Choi says:
::Wonders what the telepaths are talking about::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Cmdr, I've just picked up a signal

CEO_DeRidder says:
*CNS* DeRidder to Luchena....   I got a little more of it that time.  What in the heck is that?

CNS_Luchena says:
<FCO_Joe>::faints::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::slaves helm to OPS::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Is it our missing distress call?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Unknown.  The signal is gone now but it's origin was straight ahead of us, Sir.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: picks up a football and spins it in the air::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
::eyes the fainting FCO:: FCO: Ensign?

CNS_Luchena says:
*CMO*:  Incoming.

CNS_Luchena says:
OPS:  Could you beam him to sickbay?  ::points at the FCO::

TO_Choi says:
Self: What is this business with intermittent distress calls... ::Thinks about reading the mission orders::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
*CMO*: Doctor, the FCO is unconscious.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Cmdr, this anomaly doesn't fit into any category I'm aware of, and it appears to have been abandoned long ago.

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  The FCO is beamed to sickbay.

CTO_Rofax says:
XO: Cmdr, the 'voices' are giving me the feeling they are trapped, or we may be walking into one.

Host Karriaunna says:
Scenery:  As the ship stops, they can see the broken anomaly ahead of them.  Through patches of darkness can be seen the shimmering of stars.::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
::frowns a bit at OPS, then sits back down, muttering something about "chain of command"::

CNS_Luchena says:
*CEO*:  It sounded like a clerk in a convenience store to me.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  That would certainly fit in with a distress signal, as brief as it appeared to have been.

CMO_Shiar says:
*XO*: we have the FCO sir.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: moves over to the FCO and scans him/her::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
*CMO*: Good. Give me a report when you know what's wrong with him.

CNS_Luchena says:
::continues strolling around listening for the voices::

TO_Choi says:
::Begins scanning the anomaly::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Try to get a lock on its position and plot a safe course through. Let the science department at the sensor array...they'll probably enjoy this.

CTO_Rofax says:
XO: Cmdr, Probe perhaps?  ::readies a Class 6::

CEO_DeRidder says:
::walks over to damage control status monitor to begin assigning damage control teams::

Host Karriaunna says:
Scenery:  Any looking out at the anomaly will see what appears to be a ship flying through the darkened patches, moving from one dark patch to another, never passing through the stars.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Aye, Sir.  ::attempts to lock onto the position and plots the course::

CTO_Rofax says:
::raises a brow::  ALL: That is odd....

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
CTO: I thought about it...but see if you can coordinate a safe course plot with OPS.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
CTO: What is it?

CTO_Rofax says:
::nods::

CTO_Rofax says:
XO: An outline of a ship, darting across the voids....

CNS_Luchena says:
::watches the viewscreen intently::

TO_Choi says:
CTO: Might I suggest yellow alert, Commander ?

CTO_Rofax says:
::describes as best he can::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
CTO: Oh, REALLY...anything on tactical?

CTO_Rofax says:
::looks to the flashing yellow lights and then to Choi::  TO: Uh, sure.....

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::has a course plotted she hopes is safe::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
::smirks at the obviously oblivious TO as she glances at the flashing YELLOW LIGHTS::

Host Karriaunna says:
<Voices>: I can alm.... nonsense, nothing ha...  stop figh....  it can't.... go ah....

CTO_Rofax says:
::scans away::

CNS_Luchena says:
::is startled::

CMO_Shiar says:
SELF: telepaths :: gives FCO a stimulator to wake him up. then gives him something to dull the telepathic effects slightly.::

CEO_DeRidder says:
::looks over to one of the engineer's mates as the voices start up again::  EO: I'll be on the bridge....

CNS_Luchena says:
::keeps watching the viewscreen::

CTO_Rofax says:
CNS:  Counselor?  Do you see it? Hear it?

TO_Choi says:
Self: Meh..

CNS_Luchena says:
CTO:  Yes.  It feels like it's coming from that ship.

CEO_DeRidder says:
<EO_Farley>  CEO: Aye....  

CMO_Shiar says:
*XO*: The FCO is a strong telepath and was knocked out by something he sensed.

CEO_DeRidder says:
::exits into a turbolift::  Computer: Bridge

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
::stares at the viewer, looking for that ship::

CTO_Rofax says:
XO: Cmdr, scanners are detecting nothing.  Attempting to adjust for sub-space.... wait....  ::taps some more::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Sir, I'm now picking up a distress signal, directly ahead.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
*CMO*: I see. Thank you, doctor.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Do you have that safe course yet?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Yes, Sir, I believe I do.

TO_Choi says:
CTO: I'm assuming the distress call is coming from that ship.. I'm attempting to scan it..

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks back at the XO briefly::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
::waits for the CTO to expound::

CTO_Rofax says:
XO: Cmdr, possible contact.   Federation ship... maybe two or three... nothing definite.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
CTO: Two or three? Are there supposed to be any other Federation ships in the area?

CNS_Luchena says:
::resumes watching the viewscreen::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::runs the signals she's picked up to see if there is a Federation signature to them::

CTO_Rofax says:
TO: Be sure to accommodate for sub-space...

CEO_DeRidder says:
::enters the bridge and walks over to the Engineering station, making sure to smile at the CNS on his way over:: ~~~CNS: THIS is fun....~~~

TO_Choi says:
::Nods::

CNS_Luchena says:
::smiles warmly in return::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CTO/XO:  Sir, this is strange, the anomaly appears to be moving ... however I'm not sure of the readings I'm getting here ...

TO_Choi says:
::Attempts to lock onto one of the ships::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Lay in a course, impulse power. Stand by to execute.

CTO_Rofax says:
XO: None, Cmdr.  This area is believed to be abandoned.  Illegal smugglers would be my first guess.... but, this is most likely a Federation signature.....

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::Lays in course and speed:: XO:  Laid in, Commander.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
CTO: I find that suspicious and unnerving. Red alert.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Engage, one half impulse.

CTO_Rofax says:
XO: Aye.  ::raises Red Alert::

CNS_Luchena says:
::standing on the bridge, trying to hear the voices again::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Aye, engaging, one-half impulse.  ::engages the engines::

CEO_DeRidder says:
::pulls up the current engineering control and display sequences on the bridge station::  Comp: Computer, Shift Primary monitoring and control from Engineering to Bridge.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Try to hail them.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CTO:  Sir, I'm trying to determine if the signals I picked up have a Federation signature.  However, nothing as yet.

TO_Choi says:
::Brings weapons online::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::open hailing frequencies:: XO:  Hailing on all frequencies.

CTO_Rofax says:
OPS: Understood.  I will do what I can from here.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::nods and sends what she has to his station::

CEO_DeRidder says:
::watches as the console comes to life::

Host CO_Zax says:
::frowns and looks up::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Are any of them receiving?

CNS_Luchena says:
::returns to his seat::

CTO_Rofax says:
XO: Cmdr, last recorded data indicates no Federation ships should have passed through this area in decades.  I suspect foul play.

Host CO_Zax says:
*XO*: Problem, Commander?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  No response to hails.  However I have found something interesting.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: finally notices the red alert :: Nick: what's that about?

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
*CO*: Suspicious activity. You might want to take a look yourself.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
CTO: Agreed.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Yes?

Host Karriaunna says:
<Voices>  Did you... they are... no... it is only our imag... try...  I can't... try...

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Sir, these signals are Federation in origin, but it's a very old signal ... around 100 years old in fact.

Host CO_Zax says:
*XO*: On my way.

CMO_Shiar says:
<Dr. Nick> CMO: on this ship that could mean anything from we're under attack to the potatoes are burning.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: "Curiouser and curiouser..."

CMO_Shiar says:
Nick: hey

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Indeed.  It seems that these ships may have been trapped here around 100 years ago.

CTO_Rofax says:
XO: Cmdr, I am detecting a confirmed Federation signature, approximately 100 years old.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS/CTO: 100 years and still going strong? ::crosses arms, frowning thoughtfully::

Host CO_Zax says:
::enters the turbolift::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Any temporal anomalies?

CEO_DeRidder says:
::looks over to the CNS then to the CTO::  CNS/CTO:  Ya'll make any of that out?

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  They don't make em like they used to.

CTO_Rofax says:
XO: Permission to attempt non-traditional communication, Cmdr?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CTO:  It could be that these signals are being used currently, but they are 100-year-old signals.

CNS_Luchena says:
CEO:  It made no sense to me.

CEO_DeRidder says:
::looks over to OPS::  OPS: 100 years?  

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::scans for temporal anomalies::

Host CO_Zax says:
::arrives on the bridge::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
CTO: Denied...I want your focus on tactical. CNS: You, however.....

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::looks around:: CEO:  It seems to.

CTO_Rofax says:
CEO: I suspect a commandeered vessel.....

TO_Choi says:
Self: Almost as old as this ship.... ::smirks::

CNS_Luchena says:
::stands up::  All:  Captain on the bridge.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
::spots the CO:: CO: Welcome back. ::smiles::

CTO_Rofax says:
::already standing, so continues to do so::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  No temporal anomalies recorded.  But the original disaster destroyed most of the system so there's very little information to go on.

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  Understood.  ::stretches his consciousness out into space bringing a message of peace::

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  The TO feels a slight pinch at that thought.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
::nods::

CTO_Rofax says:
TO: Train all forward Phasers on the rifts.  We pull out something hostile, it shouldn't pose a great threat, but you never know.

CNS_Luchena says:
::listens for a response::

CNS_Luchena says:
::decides he could listen just as well sitting down::

CNS_Luchena says:
::sits down::

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  The closer the ship gets to the anomaly, the less accurate the sensors become.  Blank spots begin to show up on the sensors.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
::watching Mikal for signs of a response::

TO_Choi says:
CTO: Phasers targeted.. ready to fire..

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Commander, the closer we come to the anomaly the less accurate the readings.  I'm not reading anything temporal, but I can't be sure there's nothing there on these readings.

CEO_DeRidder says:
::sees the display on the main viewer become distorted and begins to tap on the console::  XO: I'm attempting to clear that up Commander.

CTO_Rofax says:
::whispers:: TO: Standby for the Captain's order.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Narrow the sweep and get some extra power from engineering.

TO_Choi says:
CTO: Aye..

Host CO_Zax says:
::smiles and takes her seat:: XO: What's going on?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::narrows the sweep:: CEO:  Ensign, I'm going to need additional power from Engineering.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: throws the football to Dr. Nick:: Nick: quick hands...

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
CO: Well, we have numerous century-old Federation ships milling about in these subspace rifts.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
CO: Aside from that, not much.

TO_Choi says:
::Wishes 'His finger slipped'::

CEO_DeRidder says:
::completes a re-route of all forward sensor scans through the navigational deflector::  OPS: Stand by...  I MIGHT be able to do you one better than that.... 

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::stands by:: CEO:  Anything you can give me would be appreciated.

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  Sir, I'm not getting anything back.

CEO_DeRidder says:
::ties in auxiliary power and recalibrates, then looks over to OPS::  OPS: Re-Scan the area now...

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
CNS: Try every few minutes.

Host Karriaunna says:
<Voices> Try coming... I know... all sto.... ther... no...

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::scans the area again::

Host CO_Zax says:
::tilts her head consideringly:: XO: They are....wrecks?

CTO_Rofax says:
::starts cross-referencing all known Federation signals of approximate age against the incoming data, looking for a ship(s) ID::

CNS_Luchena says:
::nods at the XO::

CNS_Luchena says:
::tries to make sense of that last fragment::

CMO_Shiar says:
<Dr. Nick> :: catches the ball but tumbles over a biobed in the meantime:: CMO: I’m not hurt

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
CO: They seem to be moving under they're own power. The empaths on board are picking up fragments of...something.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
CO: Red alert started to sound like a good idea.

Host CO_Zax says:
XO: Perhaps the ships...remember.

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Parts of a conversation, but not enough to make sense of it.

Host Karriaunna says:
Scenery:  On the screen, in a particularly dark patch, an old federation ship can be seen.

CTO_Rofax says:
XO: Cmdr, possible match to one of the original ships involved....

CEO_DeRidder says:
::looks over to the CNS with the last voice heard::  ~~~CNS: Think that You, Me, and Pindari could get a better handle on those if the Captain took us on into the thing?~~~

CEO_DeRidder says:
::looks over to the screen::  All: What is that?

Host CO_Zax says:
::smiles:: XO: Very good idea. You seem to be in control, please continue.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Sir, I'm picking up another distress call.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
CTO: Go on....

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Go on....

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks startled::  ~~~CEO:  Who knows?~~~

Host CO_Zax says:
CNS: Anything that makes sense?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::tries to get a location on its origin::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
CO: "Seem" might be the operative word, captain. ::grins::

TO_Choi says:
CTO: Now that is one old school ship...  As old as this bucket o' bolts.. maybe older ::smiles once again::

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Not enough.  The translator seems to recognize the language though.

Host CO_Zax says:
::grins back and settles in to watch::

Host CO_Zax says:
CNS: The language is.....?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::puts the call on speakers:: XO:  Putting the distress signal on speakers.

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  The TO feels another pinch.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
::listens::

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Hold on.  ::pulls his console forward and accesses the universal translator::

CEO_DeRidder says:
::looks over to the Captain::  CO: I think that we could get a better handle on the voices if we were to inch a little closer...   Besides, I wanna know what ship that is.

CTO_Rofax says:
XO: Cmdr, one of the signals match an early Federation vessel, The SS Toronto, Science vessel, lost SD 0301.28.  Nearly 100 years ago....

TO_Choi says:
Self: Yowch.. 

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
CTO: Lost how?

Host CO_Zax says:
::looks at the CEO and then the XO:: XO: Your call, Number One.

CTO_Rofax says:
XO: I would hypothesize, sub-space, Cmdr.

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  It's English.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CTO:  That would tie in with the age of the signal.  I'm going to try to confirm if the distress signal is from the Toronto.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
::overhears:: CEO: We ARE moving closer, at half impulse.

CEO_DeRidder says:
::looks to the CTO::  CTO: Oberth class...  

TO_Choi says:
Self: Ah.. the SS Toronto.. I’ve been there... 

Host CO_Zax says:
::looks surprised:: CNS: Old Earth English?

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Could the signal be a subspace echo?

CTO_Rofax says:
OPS: Good, I am sending what I have....

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::puts the message through the ship's computer::

CNS_Luchena says:
::shakes his head::  CO:  Standard modern English, I think.  ::rechecks his console::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  It's possible, Sir.  I'll try to confirm that, too.

Host Karriaunna says:
<Voices>:  This is the USS Toronto.  We seem to be trapped inside some kind of force field.  It covers a large area.  Can you assist us.  Repeat...

CTO_Rofax says:
::transmits the data he has to OPS::

Host CO_Zax says:
All: Seems that this may be a place of memory.

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  It's the Toronto!

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::feeds the data into the computer and runs a comparison::

Host CO_Zax says:
OPS: There are no life signs?

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  They are trapped inside a forcefield and requesting assistance.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::scans for life signs::

CTO_Rofax says:
ALL: I would concur with the CNS.

TO_Choi says:
CTO: What do you think Commander ?

FCO_Scully says:
::plotting course through wild subspace rifts::

CEO_DeRidder says:
::swings back around to console to ready damage control and run theories on how to get that ship out of the thing::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
CTO: It seems unlikely that they've been trapped in a forcefield for 100 years, waiting for rescue.

CTO_Rofax says:
TO: It seems too perfect.  I doubt anything could have survived that long in subspace,

TO_Choi says:
CTO: Perhaps a trap ?

CTO_Rofax says:
::nods to the TO::

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  It could be some sort of telepathic echo.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
::mulls it over:: FCO: ETA to the Toronto at present course and speed?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Picking up around 150 life signs.  There is somebody there, or so sensors are telling me.

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  The ship flies to close to one of the broken space, flying through it briefly.

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods::

FCO_Scully says:
XO: Uncertain.  Just a moment.

CTO_Rofax says:
XO: I would agree Cmdr, but....

CTO_Rofax says:
::grabs onto the console::

Host CO_Zax says:
CTO: What is the history of the Toronto in the computer?

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
::watches the anomaly flash by:: FCO: Careful there!

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  A red light appears on the engineering console.

FCO_Scully says:
XO: Five minutes.  Sensor readings are unstable.

TO_Choi says:
::Takes a quick glance over the Oberth Class specs::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO/XO:  Sir, should I try to get a transporter lock on them?

CTO_Rofax says:
CO: Captain, the Toronto was believed to have been lost nearly 100 years ago in a warp core breach.  One of the earliest recorded incidents.

FCO_Scully says:
::concentrates on not hitting anything with the Pen::

CEO_DeRidder says:
::looks up to the damage console as red lights begin to flash and an alarm goes off::  

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
::feels a low rumble that means "hull breach":: FCO: Clear us from that rift and drop to 1/8 impulse!

CEO_DeRidder says:
::reads the read out::  CO: Hull Breach Captain...

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION: The message repeats over and over.

FCO_Scully says:
XO: Aye, aye.

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  An emergency bulkhead covers the breach.

Host CO_Zax says:
::curses under her breath::

Host CO_Zax says:
CEO: Damage report!

FCO_Scully says:
::drops to 1/8 impulse.  Tries to pull away from the rift.::

CEO_DeRidder says:
::taps out orders for damage control teams::  CO: Emergency Bulkheads and force fields in place...

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  Medical finds itself with incoming calls from deck 6

Host CO_Zax says:
CEO: Casualties?

FCO_Scully says:
XO: Controls are sluggish.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
CEO: Any casualties?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::thinks:: CTO:  Sir, is it possible to get a tractor beam in there to free the ship?

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: Get us into a safe position, then full stop.

CNS_Luchena says:
::still gripping his chair::

FCO_Scully says:
::fights the inertial dampeners::

CEO_DeRidder says:
CO/XO: No reports of any casualties but...    ::re-reads scans::  Self Out Lout: No Way!

CTO_Rofax says:
OPS: Considering the sub-space effects.... I am not sure we could even establish a lock.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
CEO: What is it??

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::nods::

CEO_DeRidder says:
XO: The hull breach seems to be due to weakened metal due to old age.....   We JUST LEFT Risa....

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks over at the CEO::

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  Just ahead, a large patch of clear space can be seen.

FCO_Scully says:
XO: Pulling away now.  Coming to full stop at .5 klicks away.

FCO_Scully says:
XO: What do you make of that?

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: Keep an eye on the anomalies...move us clear if necessary.

Host CO_Zax says:
CEO: Scan the rest of the surface panels.

FCO_Scully says:
XO: Aye. Keeping an eye out.

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks  puzzled::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: I make of it that there ARE temporal anomalies here, sensor readings be damned.

CTO_Rofax says:
::hears the CEO::  XO: Cmdr, suggest we fall back as far as possible.... time appears to have accelerated in the entire area.....

Host CO_Zax says:
FCO: Clarify our position, please.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: Back us out the way we came.

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  To the right side of the 'patched' ship Toronto, another patch fills with another ship.

FCO_Scully says:
CO/XO: Aye.

CEO_DeRidder says:
::swings around to face panel::  CO: Aye Captain... Stand By.  *Damage Control* Damage Control Teams...  Conduct visual and tricorder scans of the breach area.  Use extreme caution.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CTO:  Sir, I'm now picking up a second ship!

CNS_Luchena says:
::stares at the viewscreen, eyes wide::

CTO_Rofax says:
OPS: Can you establish a lock?  Standard or otherwise?

Host CO_Zax says:
OPS: More power to shields.

FCO_Scully says:
CO: Full reverse at 1/16 impulse.

CTO_Rofax says:
::scans in an attempt to confirm the second vessel::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::re-routes power to shields::  CO:  Shields strengthened.

FCO_Scully says:
::steers clear of the second ship and patch of darkness:;

CMO_Shiar says:
:: sends a team out to collect injured people from deck 6::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::tries to get any sort of lock on the ship::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO/CO:  I'm receiving another signal.

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  As the ship backs up another warning sound lights the engineering console.

Host CO_Zax says:
XO: Get us out of here until we get this sorted out.

CEO_DeRidder says:
::reports of scans coming in::  CO: The rest of the ship seems to be unaffected.  Decks 12 & 13 Forward and Port have been evacuated for safety precautions...

CTO_Rofax says:
XO: Cmdr, second ship confirmed....  ::continues tapping::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: What is it?

CNS_Luchena says:
::tries to sense anything, anything at all, from the new ship::

CEO_DeRidder says:
::sees another warning light::

Host CO_Zax says:
::looks around at the klaxon::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
CO: I've already ordered it, Captain.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: How long before we're out of this mess?

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods tightly::

CEO_DeRidder says:
CO: Another Hull breach Captain...  Recommend Dead Stop.....

FCO_Scully says:
::reverses to 2 km away.::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Another distress call, Sir.  Trying to identify the ship now.

CTO_Rofax says:
XO: Cmdr, the anomaly is moving.  It is no longer stationary....

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: I want us completely out of range of the anomaly.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::feeds what she has into the computer::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
CTO: Let me guess...it's coming toward us at incredible speed.

FCO_Scully says:
XO: Moving a one light-year away.

Host CO_Zax says:
::is sitting tight and trusting her First Officer::

CNS_Luchena says:
::eyes widen further::

CTO_Rofax says:
XO: Not sure about incredible..... ALL:  WAIT!!!!

CMO_Shiar says:
:: sees the injured get brought in and gets to work on a broken leg::

FCO_Scully says:
XO: Is this far enough?

CEO_DeRidder says:
::dispatches damage control to deck 14 aft::  CO: Emergency bulkheads in place and emergency force fields online.  Internal Scans report same problem.  Metal Fatigue.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
::doesn't plan to wait:: FCO: No. Farther. Much farther.

Host CO_Zax says:
CTO: Problem, Commander?

CTO_Rofax says:
ALL:  The anomaly appears to have surrounded us!

CNS_Luchena says:
::waits::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: And faster.

Host CO_Zax says:
CEO: How is that possible?

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
CTO: Well, that WAS fast.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  I have an identity on the second ship, Sir.  It reads as the Helsinki, a Constitution Class ship, Sir.

TO_Choi says:
::Watches as his scans go dark:: Self: What in the...

CNS_Luchena says:
Thinks to self:  Caught like a fly in a Venus flytrap....

FCO_Scully says:
XO: Speeding up to 1/4 impulse.

Host CO_Zax says:
XO: This isn't right......the ship is aging.

FCO_Scully says:
::watching out for anomalies as we go::

Host CO_Zax says:
CTO: Compare the standard star charts with the stars around us. Scan for differences.

CEO_DeRidder says:
::still scanning::  CO: Unknown Captain...  The only theory that I have is that these expanses and anomalies are POSSIBLE rifts in subspace....   Continuing scans...

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  As the ship finds itself surrounded, they can see two more ships in the darkened patches.  OPS picks up two more signals.  All telepaths on the ship hear people... the voices broken, some complete.

FCO_Scully says:
OPS: Constitution?

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
::sighs:: FCO: Full stop...just maneuver to keep us as physically clear of the anomalies as possible.

TO_Choi says:
Self: Even the Pendragon isn't as old as that thing... ::Not humoured anymore::

CTO_Rofax says:
XO: Second ship is another Oberth class.... The USS Firestone....

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  Hearing voices again, Sir.

FCO_Scully says:
CEO: Temporal anomaly for sure.

Host CO_Zax says:
::hears the name and closes her eyes briefly::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
CO: Nothing about this area is right. ::sighs again::

CTO_Rofax says:
CO: Aye, Captain..... ::starts comparing::

Host CO_Zax says:
::hopes they aren't ageing as well::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CTO:  Is it possible that time stops here?  That the crews of these 100-year old ships are very much alive?

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  Another wave of energy passes through the ship, stronger this time.

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Hail them. All of them. We need some answers.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: uses dermal regenerator to fix the broken tissue then lets the patient go on his way. watches as Dr. Nick fixes the other injured person.::

CNS_Luchena says:
::pulls his console forward as he feels energy wash over him::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::hails all vessels::  XO:  Hailing now, Sir.

FCO_Scully says:
::reels with the wave of energy, keeps the ship on course, though::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: What did that do to us?

CTO_Rofax says:
OPS: Stops, reverses, and goes on would be my guess....

CEO_DeRidder says:
::lights on the console start lighting up all over::  CO: Power Surge Captain!!!  The EPS Grid is approaching red line.  Standing by on Aux Power....

CNS_Luchena says:
::searches the database for the Toronto and the Firestone::

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  As the crew looks around, things seem in general the same, but their are minor differences.

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks around::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Sir, I'm receiving calls on all frequencies.  It seems we can hear them, but they cannot hear us.

CTO_Rofax says:
CO: Captain, the star chart appears normal.  However, the rifts I cannot account for the effects they have on the Pendragon.

FCO_Scully says:
::notices panel buttons are in different places::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
::looks down, hoping she doesn't suddenly have a ridiculously short skirt on now::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::notices subtle changes in her panel:: Self:  This is different!

CNS_Luchena says:
All:  This doesn't feel quite right.....

FCO_Scully says:
::notices ridiculously short skirt on XO O'Dunn::

CTO_Rofax says:
CNS: It isn't... time has been altered....

TO_Choi says:
::Watches as the console in front of him molds into a group of flashing lights and dials::

CMO_Shiar says:
SELF: I could have sworn the football was over here

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks around some more::

CTO_Rofax says:
ALL:  Second energy wave incoming!

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::hangs on::

CTO_Rofax says:
XO: We can't avoid it.....  ::grabs onto something::

CNS_Luchena says:
::grips his chair::

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  The darkness comes closer as a stronger wave passes through them.

FCO_Scully says:
::rocks back and forth as the ship bounces from the wave::

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  The various colors of the crew’s clothes change color.

CTO_Rofax says:
::shudders with the ship::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::notices her uniform is now blue:: All:  What the ...

CNS_Luchena says:
::notices some colours shifting and looks around at the crew::

FCO_Scully says:
::notices neon purple shirt she is now wearing::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
::sighs as she grips a handrail, but doesn't sit down, as it would likely be far too revealing for her tastes now::

CEO_DeRidder says:
::looks around and holds on for dear life, then looks down at his now chartreuse uniform::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
::wants some pants::

TO_Choi says:
::Looks to the CTO and notices his tunic has gone red::

FCO_Scully says:
::notices brilliant fuscha jumpsuit on Counselor::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: looks at the new colour of uniform. thinks the gold looks good::

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  A fourth wave passes through the shirt.  Those who are telepaths are overwhelmed, and find themselves quickly knocked out.  All others a dizzy spell hits them.

CTO_Rofax says:
::falls hard to the floor, unconscious::

Host Karriaunna says:
<ship>

CNS_Luchena says:
::falls unconscious comfortably in his chair::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::finds the room spinning around her::

FCO_Scully says:
::feeling nauseous, but keeps a hand on the flight controls::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: feels dizzy::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
::watches the crew drop like flies::

TO_Choi says:
::Spins dizzily::

CEO_DeRidder says:
::falls out of chair on to the deck::

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  Memories shift as time shifts...

Host CO_Zax says:
::is speechless::

FCO_Scully says:
::tries to get the ship out of here::

TO_Choi says:
::Begins having in-depth memories of his early childhood::

Host XO_O`Dunn says:
::has one last modern thought of "oh, crap"::
