EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
:: Still straightening his things in his quarters, he looks at the time and dress and hurries to ME to report for duty::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::watching the ship with their hairy friend very closely::

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
:: Exits the TL into Main engineering::

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Leaving her quarters::

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::sits at OPS console, watching continuous scan report on Iccizfron's ship::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Our friend hasn't done anything out of the ordinary yet sir.

Host Steve says:
ACTION:  SPINNING THROUGH THE EXPANSE ARE COMETS, SNOWBALLS, FROZEN NEBULAE, ETC.  SOME COMETS SPIN INTO EACH OTHER, EXPLODING IN A CLOUD OF ICE AND SNOW RATHER SPECTACULARLY

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Exiting the TL onto the bridge::

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
::looks around for the CEO::

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Enters the Bridge and goes over to her chair::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::looks at the viewscreen, been there done that:: CTO: Excellent. Keep an eye out for now, until he's at the limit of our sensors.

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Looks for the XO::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::looks up:: CO: Afternoon Captain.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Aye sir

Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Good afternoon to you. Report?

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
:: can't find the CEO, so he decides to start a routine systems check, Level two::

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::reviews OPS telemetry on ships systems::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Steady as she goes. Science should be ready for probe launch in a few minutes, Captain.

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Walks towards the XO, and waits until he's done speaking to the CO::

Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Good  ::Looks around::  

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::maintains SRS on Iccizfron's ship and LRS probing the Expanse::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
:;looks up:: CNS: Can I help you with something Dr.?

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Turns to the CNS::

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
XO: Yes sir, the CO thought it might be a good time to go over some crew evaluations?

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Nods to the CO::

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Nods back::

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
CO: It is agreeable to see you again Ma'am.

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
:: walks over to the navigational deflector station::

Host CO_Fowler says:
CNS: And you.  How was your trip, Counselor?

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Yes, well the Bridge isn't exactly the right place for this. Perhaps we should retire to my office for a moment. ::looks at the CO for approval::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Sir, my scanners are becoming more cluttered with all the debris in the Expanse::

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::sees sensor clutter increasing, shifts additional power to the sensor grid, to increase efficiency::

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
CO: Uneventful ma'am.

Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: I think we can handle things for a while

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
:: sees the OPS request for additional power and grants it...::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Understood. ::stands:: CNS: Doctor...

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Nods at the CNS:: CNS: Let me know when you are done and we'll talk a bit

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Ma'am, I'm losing my fix on Iccizfron's ship in the background clutter

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Follows the XO to his office::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Exits his quarters with a few PADDs and head to the Bridge::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Enters TL:: TL: Bridge

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
CO: Aye Ma'am, that would be...nice.

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::heads for the TL and waits for the Counselor to step in:: TL: Deck 2.

Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Try to hold on as long as you can.  Project his course and we'll do what we can

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax  (Turbolift.wav)

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::tries to keep a fix on the ship, but keeps losing it::  CO: Aye ma'am

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Exits TL and enters the Bridge::

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
::goes over to the duty engineer and relieves him, sits down at the master systems display::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::Works on a projected course for the ship::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Walks over to where the Captain is...:: CO: Captain Fowler, Lt. Cmdr. Nicholas Jax reporting for duty

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Stands in the TL with the XO, relaxed::

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
:: taps a few commands into the console monitoring the ships course on sensors::

Host CO_Fowler says:
CEO: Welcome to the Sharikahr.  Please take your station

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::looks over at the other Vulcan as the doors open:: CNS: This way Counselor.

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
CO: Thank you

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::turns from OPS::  CO:  Captain.  We may be able to increase sensor efficiency by linking the science and tactical sensor arrays.

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Stands:: CTO: Thorne, you have the bridge.  I'll be in my RR.

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Walks over to the Engineering consoles on the Bridge::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Aye Ma'am...I have the bridge

Host CO_Fowler says:
OPS: Do it.  Work with Mr. Knight

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::heads down the hall towards his office::

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CO:  Aye, Ma'am.  ::turns back toward his OPS console and begins programming the link::

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Moves to her RR::

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Nods to the XO:: Of course, sir. ::Follows the XO::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Taps his PADD and uploads his work to the computer::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
OPS: Any luck Ensign?

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
:: Twiddles thumbs waiting to meet the CEO, thinks for a second:: Computer: Present location of Lt. Cmdr Jax (Comp: Lt. Cmdr Jax is located on the bridge)

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
*EO*: Commander, I'm sending you a set of things that needs to be done. Please tell me where you are.

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::finishes the program and initiates the sensor link::  CTO:  Just initiating the link now, sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Taps buttons::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
OPS: All right Ensign let me know if we find anything out.

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
*CEO*: I'm located in main engineering sir

Host CO_Fowler says:
::In her RR reading reports::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
*EO*: I'm sending you the chart of work right now ::taps more buttons::

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::looks at the revised sensor readings::  CTO:  Lt., there's a slight increase in efficiency.  Sensor readings now show a large planetoid at ::checks heading:: 130 Mark 29.

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::walks into his office:: CNS: Sit down Doctor, or stand, your choice. ::walks behind his desk and takes a seat::

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
*CEO*: ::receives his chore list so to speak:: Actually sir, I was looking forward to speaking with you about some ideas I had...

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
OPS: Thank you.  *CO*: Ma'am we've spotted something interesting here a large planetoid

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
*EO*: Sure, let's set up a time, I need to check something up here on the Bridge, get used to things, you know...

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
OPS: Here is my projected plot for Iccizfron's ship...maybe it will help us find him

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Nods to the XO and takes a seat.:: XO: Thank you sir. I have taken the liberty of reviewing the personnel records on the way here, everyone seems to be at peak levels of efficiency, however, I do have concerns.

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
*CEO*: Whenever your through on the bridge head down to ME...I will get started on the work..

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::sees Izzifricon's ship, and watches the sensor lock fade in and out::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
*EO*: Okay, Jax out

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CTO:  Aye, sir.  I'll lock in the projection and have sensors sweep those areas more frequently.

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CNS: Such as?

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
OPS: Good....and see what else we can find out about that planet

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CTO:  Aye, sir.  ::initiates scans of the planetoid::

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
::looks at his list the CEO sent, humm clean warp plasma intakes...run a level four diagnostic on impulse flow regulators, check balance of Nacelle pylons....::

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Looks uncomfortable for a moment:: XO: Sir, there are quite a few members of the crew who are seriously overdue for their evaluations.

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
::Looks around ME, grabs a Ensign to assist him with his work::

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::looks at the scan results, then re-scans the planetoid to double-check them::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Have finished setting up the ENG console on the bridge...::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
SO: Lt., please take the scanning of the planet.  OPS: concentrate on our friend...I don’t like being blind in here

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
CTO: Mr. Knight, I'll be in Main Engineering if you need me...

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CTO:  According to the scans, the planetoid's roughly the size of Earth's moon.  And perfectly spherical.  No scarring, cometary or debris craters.  Essentially, it's completely smooth.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CEO: Aye

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
Ensign: Lets see if we can increase the plasma transfer to 4.56 teraquads per second

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Walks over to the TL mindlessly::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CNS: Well, I can schedule them for you, or you can, but they all know it is a requirement. ::notices the discomfort. Why? Cuz he's Vulcan too:: Is there something wrong Counselor?

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Bumps into something but shakes it off::

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
(Ensign: Aye sir)

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
OPS: No scarring, nothing else...hmm that's not right… keep on it SO...OPS: find Iccizfron if you can

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax TL: Main Engineering please... (Turbolift.wav)

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CTO:  Aye, sir.  ::checks plot scans for Iccizfron's ship::

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
::walks over and takes off the bulkhead cover for the nacelle relays, starts testing the control processors one at a time::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Exits TL to Main Engineering::

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
:: busy with his work... drops the hyperscanner::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Walks into Main Engineering where the warp core is...::

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: Wrong? No...but the ones I am most concerned about happen to be part of the command crew. You of all people are aware of the regulations regarding the evaluations, and I fear that the Captain has been avoiding hers like the proverbial plague.

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CTO:  I have the ship on sensors.  It's right at the edge of our sensor range.

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
::Thinking to himself quietly how much he hates testing control processors::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
OPS: All right, see if you can keep him there...I have a feeling we may need to know where he is

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Looks around and goes into his office::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Accidentally walked in the wrong direction::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::raises his brow just a little and smiles:: CNS: That doesn't surprise me at all. Most Captains would take exception to this. Is there any way this could wait until we're into the routine search pattern?

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CTO:  Aye, sir.  I recommend sending out a class III probe to extend our sensor range in relation to his ship.

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Looking around... feeling extremely depress::

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
:: seeing that the relays check out he reconnects the bulkhead cover and gets up to replace the deuterium filter::

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Nods:: Certainly, as long as you schedule yours during that time also.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
OPS: Sounds good but let's notify the CO first  *CO*: Ma'am...some interesting developments here, would you please come back to the bridge?

CO_Fowler says:
::Goes over to the replicator::  Computer: Hot chocolate, French Vanilla

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
<SO> CTO:  Lt.  I have completed additional scans.  I can confirm Ens. Shiraz's scan and believe the entire planetoid is made of ice.

CO_Fowler says:
Computer: On second thought belay that

CO_Fowler says:
*CTO*: On my way

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Finds his way to the office this time::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CNS: Mine? Is mine overdue?

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
SO: and yet it's not showing any signs of scarring or other damage...this is strange  *CO* Aye ma'am

CO_Fowler says:
::Leaves the RR and enters the Bridge:: CTO: Report

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Looks around:: Self: So empty in this office...

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
XO: Yes sir, by fourteen point six three weeks.

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
:: walking back over to the master console display he sees the CEO is in his office he walks over to the door and knocks on the window:: CEO: Lt. Cmdr Ross Rachmaninoff reporting for duty sir.....

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::coughs:: CNS: Oh, well... I don't know how that could have been overlooked.

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Sees the EO's lips moving but hear no sound::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Waves the EO to come in::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Ma'am we've encountered a planetoid on the far edge of our sensor range...with some strange readings...perfectly spherical and unblemished

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Hides a slight smile:: XO: Certainly you have been quite busy...

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
:;notes the CEO is a trill and he starts to sense a sad emotion coming from him::

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
::walks into the office::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: We were going to launch a probe but I wanted to inform you first

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CNS: That I have been. All right, I'll try to schedule one as soon as I can get to it. Is there anything or anyone else?

CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Launch the probe. Let's see just what we find ::looks thoughtful::  

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
:: extends his hand to shake::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: Come on in, I couldn't hear a thing you said since it's kind of sound proof in here...

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::sees hand extended, and shakes the EO's hand::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: We are barely keeping Iccizfron on scanners...Aye ma'am....::launches the class III probe towards the planet::

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
CEO: Lt. Cmdr Ross Rachmaninoff reporting for duty

Host Steve says:
ACTION:  THE VESSEL SHUDDERS LIGHTLY AS THE PROBE STREAKS FROM THE VESSEL.  STREAKING INTO ORBIT AROUND THE PLANETOID

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: Welcome aboard, commander, my name is Nicholas Jax...

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
XO: The rest are on this PADD.:: Hand the XO a PADD with the list on it.::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::sees data begin to come back from the probe::

CO_Fowler says:
CTO: His course....?  ::Moves to a station and calls up data::  

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
Self: Fire one... ::smiles, then glances back to the CNS and takes the padd:: CNS: Thank you Counselor. If you have any problems getting them to report to their meetings, let me know.

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
CEO: nice to meet you....I was glad that you approved my request for transfer into the EO spot...its not often a Lt. Cmdr can be a EO

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: The last plot I was able to project was stable ma'am

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Stands and inclines his head at the XO:: XO: Thank you for your time sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: Well, why not ::tires to put on a grin::

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
CEO: I took the liberty of adding some routine diagnostics on the control processors into the work load

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CNS: And yours Counselor. Will you return to the Bridge with me, or check in with your office?

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Ma'am...data from the probe...it isn't completely made of ice...it appears to be a projection of some kind....surrounding an artificial planet!

CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Good.  ::looks at the course::  But let's try to keep an eye out for him. Just in case ::Winks::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: Oh you did, may I see it please

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
XO: I believe that I was to report to the Captain, so the bridge would be my destination.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: It appears there are tunnels, rooms, and buildings underneath the ice...

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
::gives him the padd and tries to turn off his telepathic impressions he is getting from the CEO, as he feels he is really depressed::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: And.....::looks at the readings again:: a breathable atmosphere!  ::transfers readings to CO's chair::

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
CEO: If I might ask sir, are you all right?

CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Buildings? Now I'm really curious

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CNS: All right, then it's more efficient if we return together. ::walks out from behind his desk:: Lead the way Doctor.

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Tries to take the PADD from the EO, but dropped it by accident:: EO: I'm sorry.....

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::initiates a preprogram to relieve some of the clutter on the sensor grid::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Picks up the PADD off the floor::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Aye ma'am...the surrounding ice appears to be 100 km thick and there are no life signs

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Nods and heads back to the bridge::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Puts the PADD on his desk::

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
:: raises an eyebrow::

CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Artificial Planet, eh? 

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: I guess I'll look at it later

CO_Fowler says:
*XO*: Mr. Ahkileez, report to the bridge, please. 

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::follows closely:: CNS: What part of Vulcan are you from?

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Sure looks like it Captain ::wondering what the heck it's doing here::

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
CEO: I'll leave you alone sir...

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::watches scan::  CO:  Ma'am, we've lost Iccizfron's ship off sensors.

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
XO: I am from Mars, not Vulcan, I am part human sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Look confuse to EO's last comment...::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: Um, ok..

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
CEO: You just looked like you wanted to be alone

CO_Fowler says:
OPS: Okay, Ens.  Just be on the look out in case he comes back

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::looks at him closer:: CNS: That you are... apparently a small part. Mars is good though, parts of it are still red like Vulcan. ::smiles:: Although I'm not from Vulcan either. ::stops at the TL::

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CO:  Aye, ma'am.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::whistles:: CO: the ambient air temp is 105 degrees below zero, in the corridors of the planet ma'am

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: Really, what makes you say that

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Turns to the XO:: XO: If I may ask, where are you from then?

CO_Fowler says:
::Looks at the info.:: CTO: Well if we go down there, we had better dress warm

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
CEO: Excuse me for saying so, but I sense that you are really sad about something....

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: aye ma'am...very warm

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::returns to his OPS console, sets scanners to look for the alien's drive and energy signatures, and hull composites::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: I see, so you read my mind...

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CNS: Earth, born and raised. ::steps into the TL:: I've only been to Vulcan a few times.

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: Didn't realize you were a telepath

CO_Fowler says:
CYO: Where is Cmdr Ahkileez? 

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::tries to figure out where Iccizfron went to::

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
CEO: Force of habit...I try and turn it off...and can but I usually don’t have too....yes I my mother was from Betazed

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Looks interested as he enters the TL:: XO: And have you studied the disciplines?

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: That's nice..

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::shakes head:: CNS: Nope, only limited to keep myself from killing people left and right. ::doors slide open and walks out::

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
CEO: it's actually something of a surprise in our family I turned out to be higher on the ESP scale then she is...

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::sees Iccizfron’s ion trail appear on the scans::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Ma'am what if our friend in that ship comes from the planetoid?

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::nods to the CNS and walks down to the Command area::

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CO:  Captain, I've located Iccizfron's ion trail.  It leads through a frozen nebula, still following the CTO's projected course.

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: I see..... ::silence for a few seconds:: Say, have you ever lost a love one?

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Follows the XO onto the bridge and nods to him, then proceeds to the CO::

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
CEO: ::Tries to smiles at him...:: I am a excellent listener if you ever want to talk sometime

CO_Fowler says:
CTO: That's an idea.  He certainly looks like he could be

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::takes Seat 2.0 [tm]:: CO: Anything happen while I was gone?

CO_Fowler says:
OPS: Good.  Maybe he'll be predictable.

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
::turns back at the CEO:: CEO: Yes.....I have

CO_Fowler says:
XO: Good to see you made it Cmdr.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::checks his readings and sees that he is indeed following that trail:: CO: Kind of makes me wonder about his telling us the whole "truth"

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: Me too.....

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::looks a bit confused:: CO: Captain?

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
CEO: I'm sorry to here that...were you close to this person?

CO_Fowler says:
::Small grin:: XO: Mr. Knight and Mr. Shiraz can fill you in

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: Very......

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::thinks about ways to extend sensor range::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: And I guess yours too.....

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
OPS: You want me to do the honors Ensign?

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Understood. ::stands and walks down to OPS::

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
CEO: yes....I am still not over his death, and this was back at the academy

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Looks to the CO:: CO: May I be of assistance Captain?

CO_Fowler says:
XO: We'll talk later. Right now we found something quite interesting and I'd like you r opinion

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: That long ago? Hmmm, he must've been special to you...

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CTO:  You're the senior officer, sir.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: We've encountered an artificial  planet in this mass of ice, corridors, buildings, the works...but at 105 degrees below zero Celsius

CO_Fowler says:
CNS: Yes, please go to Sick Bay and help in any way.

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::looks back at the Captain quizzically, and turns to the CTO::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: and ...hang on a moment...::sees another signal coming from the probe::

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
CO: Yes Ma'am. ::Turns and heads to the TL::

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::here's console beep, turns and sees that the probe telemetry has disappeared::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::nods to the CTO:: OPS: Any sort of signals coming from the planet?

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
CEO: Very special...::point to his Bajoran ear-piece:: This is his...I where it as a reminder of him

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
CEO: and how much I have to live for....to never give up so to speak

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: No wonder you don't look like Bajoran.....

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::sees the signal lost:: XO/CO: I've lost the probe's signal...appeared to have been hit by space debris...XO: No signals or life signs we could pick up

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
XO:  No, sir.  The planetoid is quiet.

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Exits the TL and enters SB.::

CO_Fowler says:
CTO: We got quite a bit.  Now to figure out that planet

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO/XO: That certainly was convenient

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::thinks:: CO: I may be paranoid, but our friend Iccizfron seemed like he was new around here. And he did have a substantial coat, for warmth.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: I agree sir...something isn't right here

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Just remember he's on duty...:: EO: Okay, we should talk later, oh and report to the captain when you get a chance

CO_Fowler says:
XO: That’s what Mr. Knight and I surmised.

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
CEO: ::smiles back at him:: I will go right now....and remember my offer is always open

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Looks to the Nurse on duty:: Nurse: I am here to assist.

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: Thank you ::still can't put on a smile::

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
::walks over to the TL:: BRIDGE

CO_Fowler says:
OPS: Take us closer.  Impulse only and make it look casual.  Don't go straight there.  

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::looks down to OPS:: OPS: Did you try transmitting any kind of signal in the language the UT picked up from Iccizfron?

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::looks over the last scans he received from the planetoid:: XO/CO: This is very interesting...those last signals show structures and what appear to be cities

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Reads the PADD the EO gave him and made a few adjustments so it fits for this ship::

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CO:  Aye, sir ... with the debris guiding our course it should look casual.

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
::Exits onto the Bridge looking around… smiles at all the new faces walks over to the CO:: Lt. Cmdr. Ross Rachmaninoff Reporting for duty sir

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
<Nurse>::CNS: Very well, sterilize these instruments. ::He hands the CNS a tray full of devices::

CO_Fowler says:
CTO/XO/OPS: Maybe as we get closer the scans will show us more.  Ideas on what we may find?

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::initiates impulse glide at 1/4::  XO:  No, sir.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO/XO/OPS: I have a feeling we may find an answer to what Iccizfron is really doing out here ma'am

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: I'm not sure if we should do anymore direct scans until we try to open communications. They might see us as a threat if we just probe them.

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::thinks about sensor efficiency and wonders if tying in the COM system would increase it::

CO_Fowler says:
EO: Welcome.  Please take your station.  OPS: Send the data to the ENG station.

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Starts running the tools through the sterilization field::

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CO/XO/CTO::  I agree.  I also believe I have a way to increase our sensor efficiency.

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
::Smiles and walks over to Engineering station::

CO_Fowler says:
XO: Good idea, Cmdr.  CTO/OPS: Make it appear as if we are taking normal scans

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::initiates data transfer to ENG station::

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
::starts to review the data being sent to him::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Exits his office and enters Main Engineering::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::nods to the Captain::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO/XO/OPS: Just because we didn't pick up life signs....what about mechanical signs... droids/robots, etc.?

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CO:  Aye, ma'am.  ::adjusts course to avoid cometary debris::

CO_Fowler says:
OPS: Do it Ens

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Aye ma'am

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: We might have to scan a little too deeply to pick up power signals of that magnitude.

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CO:  Aye, ma'am.  *CEO*:  Ops to Cmdr. Jax.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Aye sir....just a thought..

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::About to run a diagnostic::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
*OPS*: Jax here

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::looks back at Captain Fowler:: CO: What I want to know, is how did this planet get here and neither the Federation nor the Betazoids has it listed.

CO_Fowler says:
CTO/OPS/XO: What about the buildings themselves? Could an AT survive down there?

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
*CEO*  Commander, I'd like to try linking the COM system to the sensor grid.  I think we might be able to increase efficiency and eliminate some of our clutter problems.  What do you think?

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Finishes sterilizing the tools and accesses a terminal to go over the routing of the evaluation schedules::

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
CO/OPS: The sensors might be overloaded if we don’t reroute some of the control functions as well

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: We would need special gear ma'am...full life support...we obviously couldn't breathe there

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
*OPS*: I think we shouldn't mess with the sensor grid during a mission where we uses our sensor intensively, but I'll consider the idea

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::shakes head slightly:: CO: I agree with Lt. Knight. But I would suggest we try to hail the planet first.

CO_Fowler says:
XO: Good question Cmdr.  We need to find out.  CTO: Make the arrangements.  We won't go yet, but....

CO_Fowler says:
EO: work with OPS

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
CO: Aye sir

CO_Fowler says:
XO: But of course Cmdr. ::Grins::

CO_Fowler says:
OPS: Send out a standard hail

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
*CEO*  Commander, we need those sensors increased in resolution.  I think the EO's got an idea how to handle it.  Consider this a request from the CO.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Aye ma'am.....*Shuttle Bay: prepare a shuttle for possible AT and stand by.  Equip her with all cold weather survival gear and phasers.

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::initiates a standard hail::  CO:  Hailing frequencies open.

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
*CEO*: Cmdr. if your not doing anything pressing… could you assist me with reconfiguration of the sensors

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::sees an unusual reading from the probe's original telemetry::

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CO:  Captain, there's something unusual about that planetoid's dimensional structure.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::runs a passive tachyon scan, still wondering if Iccizfron is alone here::

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
OPS: I will need you to transfer the Comm system control to my station

CO_Fowler says:
Comm: Planet: This is the USS Sharikahr of the United Federation of Planets. Please respond.

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
EO:  Acknowledged.

Host Steve says:
ACTION:  A COLD HISS ECHOES THROUGH THE BRIDGE SPEAKERS....NO RESPONSE FROM THE PLANET

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::transfer COM system control to EO, but retains hail and communications sending control::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
*OPS/EO*: I guess I have no choice since both of you are already doing this without my permission, then proceed

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CO:  No response, Captain.

CO_Fowler says:
::Motions the Ens to mute the channel:: OPS: What about the planet?

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Try it again in Iccizfron's language.

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
OPS: I am going to tie the main antenna array from the comm system into the passive LRS sensors....this should increase the resolution by at least 5 times

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::mutes the channel::  XO:  I routed the hail through the translator with his language at outset.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::Self: something we're missing here...no life signs, but what other signs are we missing?::

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CO:  Captain, the ratio of circumference, diameter and volume all break down to 1:4:9.

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
XO:  Sir.

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: All right, good work Ensign.

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
XO:  Thank you, sir.

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
::reroutes the LRS sensors and adds the scanning and transmitting abilities of the Comm system into the sensors::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Will I be on this Away Team Captain?

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
EO:  Acknowledged.  Let's see if it works.

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Schedules the CO for the first Evaluation::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Feels as if his orders were ignored, and shakes his head::

CO_Fowler says:
XO: We'll see

CO_Fowler says:
OPS: That's odd

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
Computer: Monitor the comm system, tell me if it's not holding up

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CO:  I agree, Captain.

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Understood.

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::here's the console beep, turns to check new scan data::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO/CO: Something just isn't right...and I can't put my finger on it

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
OPS: any help?

CO_Fowler says:
CTO: I agree.  But what?

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
EO:  We've got a very slight increase in efficiency, but now my COM system's not receiving properly.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Are we missing the fact that maybe creatures native to the expanse would be made out of ice?

CO_Fowler says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: XO: Your thoughts?

EO_LtCmdrRoss says:
OPS: let me see if I can fix that....::remodulates the Comm system carrier frequency:: Try it now

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::checks COM system relay data::  EO:  No change.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO/XO: they wouldn't show up as life signs per se would they?

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: It's possible, but seems a little unlikely. We have not seen much that could contribute to them working on this scale, such as resources. A likelier possibility is the planet was put here, for the same properties of the Expanse. Cold, barren, and empty.

CO_Fowler says:
::Thinking:: XO/CTO: Not really
