Host Coot says:
Last time on the U.S.S. Pendragon . . .

Host Coot says:
The Pendragon began its formal investigation into the abnormality detected near Alpha Sigma Nine. Several energy surges have shot off towards various parts of space, two of which interacted with the first planet and the yellow star of the system.

Host Coot says:
The odd phenomenon were not limited to the convergence as the Pendragon as well as a shuttle encountered a barrier of sorts, preventing them from approaching much close than the first planet.

Host Coot says:
The abnormal energy patterns emanating from the void have had some intriguing effects thus far and it remains to be seen what will happen if the Pendragon can ever determine the source.

Host Coot says:

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::Ashley waits in the shuttlecraft as it begins its departure from the Pendragon yet a second time. She is a bit annoyed that the Captain decided to pull them out without asking her first. Did he think she was unable to perform her job? After all, she was in his shoes a few months ago. What an annoying little man::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::sitting in the command chair awaiting a report from the shuttle::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::on the bridge at a secondary console monitoring sensors::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::supervising stationing of Security personnel around the key parts of the ship::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She looks toward the replacement science officer:: Johnson: What do our sensors show, Crewman?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::turns to the CNS::  CNS: How is our shuttle doing?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
aCTO: Scan the solar system for other vessels.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  She's moving away from the ship, Captain.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@<PO Johnson> ::He looks toward the witch-like woman:: XO: Checking now, ma'am.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
:begins scanning for other vessels::

Host Coot says:
@ACTION: The Shuttle's scans indicate the convergence is erupting with continual subspace matter.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@<PO Johnson> XO: Well, according to my sensors, the convergence is erupting with continual subspace matter. Of course, I don't know what we can really do about it...

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  They should be in range for some detailed sensor readings.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CNS: I'm looking for them.  ::smiles::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She sighs:: COM: Pendragon: Away Team to Pendragon. Our sensors are showing us that the convergence is erupting with continual subspace matter. We're going to move in a bit closer to see how much more information we can discover.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::stands and walks to the back of the bridge by the aCTO::  aCTO: I have a bad feeling this is happening by an outside force.  Look for warp trails, Ion trails... any thing that suggests other vessels.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::adjusting sensors::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO: Holding the communication channel open, Captain.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@COM: Shuttle Vn'dor: Continual Subspace Matter?  What's that mean in Bajoran?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She begins to bring the shuttlecraft a bit closer to the convergence point, curious to see if the shuttle can uncover what may be causing the subspace matter to erupt out from within:: COM: Pendragon: CO: Basically, the streams that were 'accidentally' sent out into this region of space. Of course, I doubt it was an accident.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: There are no other vessels in the area. Minor traces of decaying warp trails are a few LY away, but nothing out of the ordinary.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::frowns as he listens::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: Sensors show no sign of other vessels in our area.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@COMM: Shuttle Vn'dor: Let me get this straight, you suspect an intellectual force behind this event.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@<PO Johnson> ::He continues to run his scans, watching the XO every few seconds::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::looks at the Captain::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::turns hearing the aCTO beside him::  aCTO: Acknowledged.  Keep a lock on the shuttle at all times

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@COM: Pendragon: CO: That is my hypothesis, Captain. However, I can't be certain until I move closer. I may attempt to utilize my telepathy to see if perhaps anything may be on the other side... but I am doubtful that may work. Has our probe given us any additional data?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::spots the CNS looking at him and continues down to his seat:

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: There are minor traces of decaying warp trails a few light years away.  Nothing unusual.   ::checks lock on the shuttle:: Lock on the shuttle is maintained.

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: The shuttle stops moving about halfway between the first planet and the convergence. After a few minutes, the shuttle begins being pushed backwards.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::watches the CO::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::turns to the CNS::  CNS: What about it?  Has the probe turned up anything?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::turns his attention back to his console::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
COM: Shuttle Vn'dor: Proceed with your telepathic connection ONLY if you feel it safe to do so

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She attempts to regain control of the shuttle, using the thrusters to push forward:: COM: Pendragon: CO: It looks like someone may not want us to get any closer than we already are. Some unknown force is pushing us back...

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::hearing the XO::  FCO: Bring us along side the shuttle.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  The probe is still in communications range but reporting nothing new.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@Johnson: Report. What do you think may be causing this? ::She continues in her attempts to keep the shuttle pushing forward:: COM: Pendragon: CO: No need to worry as of yet, Captain. We're fine out here.

Host Coot says:
<FCO> ::taps away at the console:: CO: Aye, Captain.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS: What is in the direction the particle stream is traveling?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  Bearing 210, mark 42.  Towards Klingon space, Captain.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS: Klingon space??  Anything specific?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She attempts to reach out slightly to see if she can feel a presence within or perhaps on the other side of the convergence::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS: What was the last known trajectory of the fourth particle stream?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  Checking.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She listens to Johnson as he reports and brings the shuttle to an all stop:: COM: Pendragon: CO: We're not moving closer any time soon, Captain. It looks as if we may have a polarized effect occurring here.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
aCTO: Check the sensor logs, see if you can determine how the particle streams were able to change the surface of the planet habitual and the Yellow star like the Blue dwarf?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  The fourth stream is heading towards the Beta Quadrant, uninhabited area.  It seems random to me Captain.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::reviews the sensor logs::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::sits down in his chair with a sigh as he ponders the apparently unrelated course the streams are taking::

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: The XO does not feel any sort of telepathic presence.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She looks around the shuttle. This was not working as well as she had planned it:: COM: Pendragon: CO: Luchena to Pendragon. Request permission to return to the ship. I doubt anything further can be done here for now.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
FCO: How long would it take for the Pendragon to catch up to either the third particle stream?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  Captain, the probe's course does not suggest that particle stream is heading towards any populations in Klingon territory.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::tuurns to the aCTO::  aCTO: Give them permission to return.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::turns listening to the CNS::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@Johnson: When we return to the Pendragon, I want you to work on a way to allow the shuttle to potentially bypass the force that is being emitted. That will be your top priority. You'll have complete access to Holodeck One to run simulations. I'll make certain of that.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
*COMM* Shuttle: Commander, you have permission to return to the ship.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@<PO Johnson> XO: Aye Commander. I'll get on it.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  I don't know what caused the anomaly, but its effects seem random to me.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@COM: Pendragon: aCTO: Thank you, Lieutenant. ::She brings the shuttlecraft back toward the Pendragon::

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: As the shuttle turns to head back to the Pendragon, it is quickly drawn towards the convergence. It is now less than 1/4 of it original distance.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: Captain, the subspace material make the dead planet younger and the yellow planet blue.  It's a type of reverse aging effect.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS: Perhaps we should stop concentrating on why and how and begin concentrating on how to stop it.  The way it changes the matter of anything it touches is potentially dangerous.

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: Warning klaxons signal aboard the shuttle.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::frowns:: CO: It may be possible that if we are hit by it, we may feel the same effect.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She raises an eyebrow as the shuttle is pulled toward the convergence. Ashley cannot help but shake her head as she begins to run her fingers along the console:: COM: Pendragon: We may have a situation...

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  Aye.  ::resumes monitoring sensors::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
aCTO: Reverse aging?  ::raises both eyebrows and holds his hands out to his sides::  But why? For what purpose?

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Sensors on the bridge begin clamoring as well.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@<PO Johnson> XO: I don't understand! Why are we being pulled close? I... I... ::He thinks this is a horrible first Away Mission for him::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::looks to the ceiling::  aCTO: Report

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  Captain.  The shuttle is moving closer towards the event, thingie...

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: Do you want me to see if I can tractor the shuttle?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS: Lock a tractor beam on it.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@Johnson: There isn't a need to panic, Mister Johnson. Focus on what may be causing us to be pulled toward the convergence. I'll attempt to strengthen our shields. Full stop for now.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::eyes widen while he reconfigures the console::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CNS: Event thingie? ::wonders if Luchena is experiencing youthening effect::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
aCTO: Find out what is causing it.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@COM: Pendragon: Luchena to Pendragon. May I know what you are planning on doing? I would suggest leaving us be for a few seconds. Any action you may take may push us further toward the convergence.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::activates the tractor beam and attempts to lock onto the shuttle::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
Computer: correlate sensor information and suggest what is causing the effect.

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: The shuttle slows to a stop. They are now close enough to visibly see the subspace eruptions. It can be best described as watching a pot of near boiling water from directly above.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
COM: Shuttle Vn'dor: Suggestion heard Commander.  Negative.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
<Computer> aCTO: Working

Host Coot says:
<CPU> CTO: Unknown. All attempts appear to be countermanded by the phenomenon.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@COM: Pendragon: CO: Captain, would you prefer to push the shuttle into the convergence? I would actually like to remain in this space-time continuum for a while. This is some sort of reverse effect. If you try and bring us back, we move closer. If we try to move closer, we are pushed away.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
Computer: Counterminded?  How?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
COM: Shuttle Vn'dor: What would be causing it to do that Commander.  Theories?

Host Coot says:
<CPU> CTO: Unknown. It defies all known physics.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She shakes her head, wondering if the new Captain does indeed trust her decisions. She watches what is occuring in front of her very eyes curiously:: COM: Pendragon: CO: Not at this very moment Captain, but we are working on it. I wish you could see this sight. It is rather breathtaking... in an eerie way.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@*CEO*: Jose... I could use you out here.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
COM: Shuttle Vn'dor: Then I take your word for it Commander.  As I told you in the ready room... I trust my Executive Officers.   ::turns to the aCTO::  aCTO: Cut the Tractor Beam

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CPU: Speculate, based on known theories.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@XO: I'm on my way.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@::heads for the front of the shuttle::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::cuts tractor beam::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Pendragon's tractor beam reached shuttle, far slower than would be expected. Initially, it has no effect, but then firmly locks onto the shuttle. The Pendragon is being slowly pulled towards the shuttle.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: Uh, Sir, we are being pulled toward the shuttle now.  The tractor beam is cut, but not soon enough.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@COM: Pendragon: Understood Captain. ::She watches the convergence closely:: CEO: Well Jose... we need to find a way to get away from the convergence. It seems to have decided to pull us closer to it during our attempt to leave, and yet, it pushed us away when we wanted to move closer.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@::arrives at the front of the shuttle:: XO: A conundrum to say the least.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
Self: This is impossible.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::hearing the aCTO::  FCO: I have a theory, head toward the convergence... full impulse power

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::startled, looks at the Captain::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
<FCO> CO: Aye, Sir.

Host Coot says:
<CPU> ::beeps several times:: CTO: It defies all known theories. Known theories do not seem to apply.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She shakes her head:: CEO: Lets see if by attempting to move closer to the convergence, we move further away.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@::scans the convergence::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@XO: I'll give it my best shot. ::slowly attempts to move closer to the convergence::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::FCO heads Pen toward the convergence easing slowly into impulse power::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She notices the tractor beam is still engaged. She then realizes the Pen is moving closer to them:: COM: Pendragon: Captain...? I take it that you are unable to remove the tractor beam?

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Pendragon quickly finds itself twice as far away from the convergence as it was a moment ago.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  It worked Captain!

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::notices the phenomenon shrink on screen:: FCO: All stop.

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: The shuttle begins putting some distance between itself and the convergence as well.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
<FCO> CO: We are approximately two times as far away.  ::stops Pen::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@XO: We're moving away from it

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::turns to the CNS::  CNS: It seems the Commander's theory is correct.  Everything appears to react oppositely near it

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She pauses:: Self: That was a rather quick push.... ::She looks toward Jose:: CEO: It looks like its working slowly. I wonder what this thing really is. I wish we knew why Vn'dor, the other one, wanted to come here.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  And its leaking into our reality.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@XO: Your guess is as good as mine.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CNS: Leaking?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She nods:: CEO: I think we need to find a way to close this thing before any more damage is done.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS: Do you think it's like a black hole except that the other side is some other universe?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
aCTO:  Those particle beams, didn't you say they reversed time?

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Pendragon now sits comfortably between the first and second planets.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@XO: A polaron beam might do it.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CNS: Yes.  Make things get younger.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  Some opposite universe maybe.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She considers several different options in an attempt to come up with some way to potentially close the convergence:: CEO: Yes... in our reality. But everything seems to work oppositely with the convergence. What would have the opposite effect and cause the convergence, in theory, to expand?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS: The we need to find out what should close the rift and do the opposite.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
<FCO> CO: We are now positioned equal-distant between the two planets.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@XO: We invert the polarity of the beam. That might work.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO: The seems logical, Captain.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::nods at the FCO in response::  COMM: Shuttle Vn'dor: Can you determine what is allowing the rift like convergence to open into our galaxy?

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CPU: Speculate what would close the rift.

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: Aboard the shuttle, the tractor beam from the Pendragon is cut and then the Pendragon moves off quite a distance from the shuttle.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She nods:: COM: Pendragon: Our attempts at discovering any additional information has failed Captain. In all honesty, I believe we should close this rift. It is to unstable to be in our part of the universe, especially at this time.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::wonders what will happen if they are wrong::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She looks toward Jose:: CEO: How far is the Pendragon from our location?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
COMM: Shuttle Vn'dor: Agreed Commander...  but sometimes in order to find out how to close it, we need to understand how it was opened.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
COMM: Shuttle Vn'dor: Once we find out how to close it, we'll do exactly the opposite

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@XO: Approximately 1 AU.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@COM: Pendragon: I agree Captain. However, the only way to truly discover how it was opened is to get closer. I take it you aren't keen on that idea?

Host Coot says:
<CPU> CTO: Based on known theories, an anti-chronoton stream could lessen the effect.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She looks toward Jose:: CEO: They're rather far off.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::hearign the XO, he ponders the idea slightly:: COMM: Shuttle Vn'dor: I leave it up to you Commander.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She looks toward Jose:: CEO: Up for taking an even closer look Jose?

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: Captain, Suggest anti-chronoton stream could lessen the effect.   So, reversing that theory.....

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@XO: Sure, why not

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
aCTO:  Unless the computer already took the necessity to reverse into account.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::turns to the aCTO::  COMM: Shuttle Vn'dor: XO: Comamnder, Lieutenant Tribble suggests you pump as much chronoton particles into that convergence as you possibly can.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She smiles a bit:: CEO: Have our thrusters set for moving away from the convergence. Lets see if it brings us even closer. Shields at.. maximum for now I suppose.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@COM: Pendragon: What does she assume that will do Captain? Close it or stop the subspace eruptions?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@XO: I'm on it. ::uses the thrusters to move closer to it::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
aCTO: Close it or stop the eruptions?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@CEO: Lets just hope that we learn something from this fun-filled experience.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@XO: After all this, we'd better.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: The computer said "an anti-chronoton stream could lessen the effect." So, we would do the reverse.

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: The shuttle begins closing the distance to the convergence. On screen, it becomes visibile there is a "tear" in which the eruptions are emanating from.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::hearing the aCTO's explanation::  COMM: Shuttle Vn'dor: XO: Commander...  she simply believes the chronotons will decrease the effect of the subspace convergence.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She watches the convergence as the shuttle moves closer to it:: CEO: Do you see what I see Jose?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@XO: That rift..we may be able to close it

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::watches the activity on screen::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: Anti-chronotons.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::wonders how they are going to generate anti-chronotons::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::nods::  aCTO: Yes... Anti-chronotons would lesson the effect so we need to use actual chronoton particles

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@COM: Pendragon: It looks as if there is a tear in the convergence in which the subspace eruptions are occurring. Perhaps we can find a way to close the tear, and then the convergence itself.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::nods to CO::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
aCTO: The opposite right?

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::nods::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::looks at the Captain::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@CEO: Perhaps we should follow the Pen's advice. Lets see if we can close the tear using chronoton particles.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::wonders why Luchena keeps watching him::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@XO: I'll begin calculations.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@CEO: Remember, we want to do everything the opposite of what would actually work.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::wonders if a Captain can afford to consider that he might be wrong::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::moves to the engineering console and begins looking for a way to emit the anto-chronotons::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@XO: working on it...almost ready.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
aCTO: Report on the shuttle's progress.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@CEO: Good. When the chronotons are ready, let me know. ::She watches the convergence:: COM: Pendragon: We are going to attempt to close the tear...

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: The shuttle remains at current position, Sir.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@XO: Ready to initiate on your mark ::looks at Ashley::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@CEO: Mark.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: They are ready to initiate.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@::initiates the beam::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::scans for effects::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She watches carefully, ready to move the shuttlecraft away at a moment's notice::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::looking up at the view screen::

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: The rift appears to ripple momentarily and the flow of particles is lessened considerably. However, it does not appear to be sealing the rift.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CPU: Computer, analyze effect of action of the shuttle, based on the data.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::watches the event occur onscreen::  CNS: Having an effect?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She frowns slightly:: CEO: Perhaps we should increase the flow a bit?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@XO: Your call. It seems to be working.

Host Coot says:
<CPU> The particle stream has lessened the flow of sub-space material.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CPU: Is there any other effect?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  Not enough Captain.

Host Coot says:
<CPU> None detected.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
FCO: Then perhaps it's time we moved the Pendragon in closer.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@CEO: Increase the flow. Concentrate on the tear itself.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: Captain, I think it's safe for them to increase the flow.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::was afraid the CO was going to say that::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS: Prepare the deflector dish for chronoton particles

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::has no idea how to do that::  CO:  Aye aye, Captain!

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: The shuttles increases the flow of particles and it appears to begin pushing sup-space flow back through the rift.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::comms Main Engineering and explains the situation to someone down there::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@XO: I think it's working.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
FCO: Let me know when we are along side the shuttle.  Remember use reverse engines to move forward.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@COM: Pendragon: Away Team to Pendragon. It seems that the chronoton particles are working. Would you mind lending us a hand? Unfortunately, we don't have all of the power necessary to do this job...

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The probe giving chase reports the stream stopped and reverses direction. Then abruptly quit transmitting data.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  It will be ready in one minute, Captain.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS: Excellent work Ensign

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::turns his attention to something flashing on his console display::

CTO_LT_Tribble says:
::looks at Luchena's console::

Host Coot says:
<FCO> ::nods as hands fly over the console, muttering to himself about finding a desk job::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@CEO: Lets keep this up for as long as we can Jose. ::She smiles at him:: CEO: Perhaps this will be the end of the dang thing.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  Our probe is not transmitting any longer, but it should be.  It changed direction just before it shut down.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::overhears the FCO::  FCO: I hear they need an administrator down in Waste Reclamation?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@XO: Nothing would please me more

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CNS: What caused it to change direction?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS: The particle stream changed direction?  Perhaps the probe was engulfed by it.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@::intensifies the beam::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@CEO: Then perhaps we could have a nice long vacation on Risa... you and Ebony. ::She smirks a bit::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS We ready on that deflector dish yet?

Host Coot says:
<FCO> ::mutters something about bridge officers with super-sensitive hearing and continues to work::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  The probe changed direction, perhaps you are right about the particle stream.  Perhaps its being called home.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@:: turns slightly red in the face:: XO: That...would be nice

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  Engineering reports the deflector dish is ready.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@CEO: She does like you, you know? I think she's good for you. ::Ashley smiles:: CEO: Any additional effect?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS: Then fire when ready....   ::pauses then with a slight smirk on his face::  Try to miss the shuttle with the particle beam.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@XO: It's working, but I think it will take the power of the Pendragon to close it.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::frowns::

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: The rift remains the same size, yet the sub-space particles continue to be pushed back through.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She nods:: CEO: I believe they're moving in. Lets just make sure that they don't hit us... seeing that you aren't aboard there to control the beam.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::thinks there is some not right about the Captain as he fires up the chronoton beam::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@XO: I'll do my best

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CPU: Computer, analyze data and report theory for results of chronoton beam.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Pendragon fires the Deflector Dish adding to the shuttle's efforts. The rift is showing sings of sealing itself.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She watches the convergence closely as she, at the same time, monitors the science sensors::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
aCTO: Report on the rift?

CTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: It is sealing.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@XO: It's closing!

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
@CEO: Thank the whoever!

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The two rogue particle streams are headed for the rift, returning to where they came from.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CTO: Excellent.  CNS: Counsellor...  keep that deflector dish firing.

CTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: The particle streams are returning to the rift.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  Aye.

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: The fourth particle stream leaks back through the rift.

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: The third particle stream is headed directly for the rift.... and the Vn'dor. It strikes the Vn'dor and pulls it through the rift just as the rift it seals itself. The Vn'dor is gone.
