“Winter Wonderland” Episode 3

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
RECAP: The Sharikahr is orbiting a rogue planetoid in the Glacial Expanse investigating.

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
--------------------- BEGIN MISSION ---------------------

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::checks on Iccizfron’s presence::

EO_LtCmdr_Ross says:
:: Enroute to Main Engineering, has a hot cup of coffee in his hand::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::In Main Engineering::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Analyzing the warp core efficiency::

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Sitting in her chair on the bridge::

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
*EO*  Those last modifications increased range, but decreased sensitivity.  Can you send the CEO my apologies and ask if he's got any ideas?

Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Any thing new on Iccizfron?

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::passes Malka in the hall and sends her on to his office for the padd and continues to the TL:: TL: Deck 1

EO_LtCmdr_Ross says:
::walks into ME, sipping his coffee:: *OPS* Acknowledge will do...

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Sir, he's off our sensors

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Looks at the warp core::

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
*EO*:  Thanks, sir.  And tell him I'll deliver that apology personally later on.  Shiraz out.

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Nods at Knight::

EO_LtCmdr_Ross says:
::Walks up to the CEO:: CEO: good morning sir...Ens Shiraz asked me to apologize to you...I also extend my apology about disregarding you orders

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::hears "The Girl from Iponema" on the TL's music system and is tempted to call Commander Jax to have it burned out of memory, but decides not to as he steps out onto the Bridge::

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::watches hailing program::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::studies readings that came from the probe right before it was wiped out::

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Sees the XO::  XO: Commander

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Ignored the apologize by accident...:: EO: Good Morning Ross, here's something I NEED you to do ::Hands him a PADD::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::walks down to the command area and hands the captain the AT padd:: CO: Captain... ::nods and takes his chair:: Updates?

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::redirects program to send out Iccizfron's language every third hail::

Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: So far the same.  I like your choices for the AT's, by the way

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::smiles:: CO: Thank you Captain. We'll be in standard orbit soon?

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CO:  Captain, still no response from continuous hails.

EO_LtCmdr_Ross says:
:: baffled by his lack of response to his apology:: CEO: ::looks at padd:: You know this will decrease the auxiliary fusion couplers response time by at least 4 secs

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Walks off to another console near by to check the shields generators::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::tries to find a semblance of life on the planetoid, or anything else that could help::

Host CO_Fowler says:
OPS: Thank you Ens.

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::turns back to console, and continues monitoring::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: You should know that this will give more time for the gel pack to cool down

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: Which means our command input will increase

EO_LtCmdr_Ross says:
CEO: but the subspace inter-link will be compromised for at least several terahetrz how are we going to solve that?

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Standard approach isn't working, I suppose it's time to move on to sending down personnel to check it out.

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: I'm sorry, I just remember there aren't any Bio-Neural Gel packs on this ship, I'll give you something else or you can find something to do.....

EO_LtCmdr_Ross says:
::sips his coffee ::

Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Have SCI prepare another probe.  Let's see what else there is out there.

EO_LtCmdr_Ross says:
::getting really annoyed with his attitude this morning:: CEO: sir, permission to speak frankly

Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: I am glad to see we think alike ::Grins at him::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Aye Ma'am.  SCI: Prepare another probe for launch!

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: Certainly, let's go to the office...

EO_LtCmdr_Ross says:
::follows the CEO to his office::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::waits for a response from SCI and gets one::  CO: Probe ready ma'am

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Enters his office::

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::prepares program to tie in probe data to incoming sensor data::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: Okay, I'm listening...

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Is actually distracted a bit with depress feelings

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::looks down at Ensign Shiraz:: OPS: Ensign, are there any obvious cracks or passages in the ice that could make getting to the structures underneath, easier?

Host CO_Fowler says:
OPS: Contact the personnel on the XO's list for AT One.

EO_LtCmdr_Ross says:
::waits til the other engineering staff is out of hearing range:: CEO: Sir...I really do not appreciate this attitude that you have been having these past few days...it is getting on all the engineering staffs nerves

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
XO:  Scanning now, sir ... No.  The sphere itself is solid.

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CO:  Aye, Captain.

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Thank you.

EO_LtCmdr_Ross says:
CEO: If you have a personal problem then I think you should go see the CNS

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: Okay, what kind of attitude are you talking about...

Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: I will lead Team One, Commander, you will have the bridge.  

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::taps a button on the console in front of his chair, then cancels it:: CO: Understood Captain.

EO_LtCmdr_Ross says:
CEO: I sympathize for you I do....but I don't like coming into engineering in with a good attitude and having it being torn to shreds just because someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed, sir.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: ma'am I have had the shuttles outfitted with cold weather gear and phasers 

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: Oh I see...

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::opens the comm again:: *CEO*: Ahkileez to Jax...

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::receives ready signal from AT1::

Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Good, Knight.  You're with me

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: Excuse me for a second... *XO*: Jax here

EO_LtCmdr_Ross says:
::gets closer to the CEO...:: CEO: I of all people understand your loss...but you have to move on...

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CO:  The remaining Away Team members will meet you in the shuttlebay, Captain.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Aye ma'am ::turns over Tac to TO Stone::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*CEO*: We need to know of the transporters are capable of keeping a coherent beam through that thickness of ice down there.

Host CO_Fowler says:
OPS: Keep a constant lock on the AT

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CO:  Aye, Captain.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::waits for the CO by the TL doors::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
*XO*: Depending how thick it is, if it's more than 1000km it's too thick

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Nods at Knight and moves to the TL::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: here we go again, huh ma'am? ::grinning::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*CEO*: Get the latest telemetry from Science and double check it will you? Ahkileez out.

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
*XO*: Aye aye.....

EO_LtCmdr_Ross says:
::Motions to the CEO that he is going to resume his work::

Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Seems that way.  We're either hot or freezing

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::initiates tracking program, locks each member of the AT while still in ship::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::About to say something to the EO, but he left rather quick::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Aye ma'am

EO_LtCmdr_Ross says:
:: approaches the matter/antimatter reaction assembly::

Host CO_Fowler says:
TL: Shuttle Bay.

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Are they secure?

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Turns his computer facing him and asks the CSO to send some data about the planet to him::

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
XO:  I have the transporter tracking program initiated and locks on each away team member.

EO_LtCmdr_Ross says:
:: feels better that he expressed his concerns to the CEO::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
*Security team Alpha*: Be prepared to help out in any way.  *XO*: Sir, I've activated Security team Alpha, they'll give you a hand wherever you need.

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Good. Report any abnormalities immediately.

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::console beeps::  XO:  I'm getting an energy reading on long-range sensors.

Host CO_Fowler says:
::The TL stops and the CO gets of heading to shuttle bay::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*CTO*: Understood Lt.

EO_LtCmdr_Ross says:
:: walks over to the sensor array station...looks over the crewman's work::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Do you know what it is?

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Checks how much of the transporter locks he can extend, and still can't get any more than 2000 km...

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::follows the CO and goes over cold weather protocols in his head::

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::tries to clear up scan::  XO:  No, sir ... it's still too far to identify.  It appears to be in an ice asteroid field.

EO_LtCmdr_Ross says:
Crewman Tedric: No No NO....you can't use a dual-channeled energy buffer for the sensor data storage, let me see...

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Understood. Keep an eye on it.

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
XO:  Aye, sir.  ::turns back to console::

EO_LtCmdr_Ross says:
::demonstrates the proper technique for the crewman..:: (Crewman to Ross: Sorry sir...I forget that sometimes)

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::enables a tracking valet to watch energy signature::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
FCO: Move us to synchronous orbit over the site designated LZ-1.

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
<FCO> XO: Aye Commander.

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Enters the Shuttle bay::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Ma'am you want me to take the controls?

Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Yes.  I want to make sure we have everything in the packs

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*CEO*: Ahkileez to Jax...

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
*XO*: Jax here

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Moves over to the packs and begins checking them over.  The rest of the team enter::

EO_LtCmdr_Ross says:
:: walks over to the master weapons systems display::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
@CO: Aye ma'am ::opens shuttle doors and begins making sure the shuttle and everything is ready for departure::

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::switches console screens to check ship systems::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*CEO*: Nicholas, while the Captain's team works on the problem from teh surface, I'd like you to see what you can rig up for them to be able to get more accurate information from the surface. Maybe use the reverb qualities of the ice itself to gain information.

EO_LtCmdr_Ross says:
::checks the phaser temperature controls...::

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::switches back to hailing program and scanning programs::

EO_LtCmdr_Ross says:
::hears a readout on the LRS goes over to check it::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: ma'am...Shuttle is ready to go

EO_LtCmdr_Ross says:
*XO*: Sir I am picking up a energy signature on LRS

Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Good.  The packs are too.

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
*XO*: I'll see what I can do from here

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Shall we go see what we have here?

EO_LtCmdr_Ross says:
*XO* : It seems to approaching us at warp factor 9... I can't identify the signature

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*CEO*: Thank you Commander.

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Walks out of his office and heads to a console::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*EO*: Yes, we're getting that up here too Commander.

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
XO:  Confirmed, the energy signature is approaching at Warp 9.

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*CO*: Captain, could you delay your departure for a moment?

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Motions for the team to enter the shuttle:: CTO: Prepare for launch, Mr. Knight and then take us out

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Sound Yellow Alert.

EO_LtCmdr_Ross says:
CEO: Sir I am going to go to the bridge they might need a engineer up there...

Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Hold on a minute  *XO*: Find something Commander?

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
XO:  Aye, sir.  ALL:  Yellow alert.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::sits down and begins warming up the shuttles engines:: CO: yes Ma'am

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: Sure

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*CO*: we have an unknown signature moving towards out position at Warp 9 Captain.

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
XO:  Sir, I'm receiving a broad-band subspace signal.  All frequencies, and known language forms.

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: On audio.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::looks at the CO:: CO: back to the bridge ma'am?

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
XO:  Aye, sir.  ::puts signal on audio::

EO_LtCmdr_Ross says:
::enters the TL and then exits onto the bridge....walks over and quickly assumes position at the engineering station::

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Notices the Yellow Alert and raises an eyebrow at Knight::

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
COMM: YOU ARE UNWELCOME.  YOU HAVE DISTURBED THE RESTING PLACE OF THE PARENTS.  VACATE THIS SPACE IMMEDIATELY

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: I saw ma'am...

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Hears yellow alert and takes positions::

EO_LtCmdr_Ross says:
::thinks to himself...doesn’t like the sound of that::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::REB and stands up:: *CO*: Captain Fowler to the Bridge...

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
XO:  Sir, I recommend upgrading to red alert.

Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Yes. ::Moves out of the shuttle telling the rest of the team to remain on stand by until further notice, moves a t fast clip to the TL::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: No, we can't seem hostile. Move us out of orbit.

Host CO_Fowler says:
*XO*: On my way

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: right behind you ma'am

EO_LtCmdr_Ross says:
::walks over to the tactical station::

Host CO_Fowler says:
TL: Bridge

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
XO:  Aye, sir.  ::initiates exit course out of orbit::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: now what?

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Open a channel to them and return standard greetings.

EO_LtCmdr_Ross says:
OPS: I'll take some burden off you...I'll handle tactical if you want...

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
XO:  Aye, sir.  ::opens channel::  Channel open, sir.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
*Security Team Alpha*: Go to Main Weapons control in case I need back up*

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Exiting the TL:: XO: Report!

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*OPS*: Standard greetings please Mr. Shiraz.

EO_LtCmdr_Ross says:
::reads the alien vessel as closing::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::exits right behind and takes Tactical back over::

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
XO:  Aye, sir.  ::sends out standard greetings::

EO_LtCmdr_Ross says:
:: relinquishes tactical to the CTO::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Captain, we have an unknown contact contacting us, they want us to vacate this planet's space. I've moved us out of orbit.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::scans for weapons and any other defensive capabilities::  EO: Thank you Lt. Commander

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
XO/CO:  Sirs, the ship will close on our position in on one minute 45 seconds.

EO_LtCmdr_Ross says:
:: goes over to the Eng. station...conducts SRS of their warp signature attempting to determine who there are...::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::nods to OPS::

Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Have they responded to our hails?

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: No. But they must have understood them because we can understand them.

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Energy signature drops out of Warp.. and its a ship armed to the teeth, about ten decks in size, and its weapons profile could blow the Sharikahr out of the sky with a wink.

EO_LtCmdr_Ross says:
CO/XO: I cant seem to determine their warp signature...it doesn’t appear in our database

Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Hmmmm, They called this the resting place of the parents, think this could be a cemetery?

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Or the equivalent, yes. Perhaps their old planet or something...

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
COMM: YOU ARE UNWELCOME.  YOU HAVE DISTURBED THE RESTING PLACE OF THE PARENTS.  VACATE THIS SPACE IMMEDIATELY

EO_LtCmdr_Ross says:
ALL: nevermind it seems like they are going to let us known who they are themselves

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::sees the ship in detail on scanners, turns and looks at the CO and XO::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Ma'am....we are in trouble here if it comes to a fight...she outguns us

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Ship's Disruptors, which about ten times as powerful as a Romulan's, begin to glow a deadly red charging.

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: Try to minimize all signs of hostility...

EO_LtCmdr_Ross says:
EO: Damage Control teams report to deck four through 11

Host CO_Fowler says:
OPS/FCO: Take us out.

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
XO:  Aye, sir.  Initiating escape course.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Aye sir,

Host CO_Fowler says:
OPS: Keep sending the standard hail.  And add on that we are exploring this area

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
COMM: YOU ARE UNWELCOME.  YOU HAVE DISTURBED THE RESTING PLACE OF THE PARENTS.  VACATE THIS SPACE IMMEDIATELY

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CO:  Aye, Ma'am.  ::sets COM system to send out continuous hails with the CO's message::

EO_LtCmdr_Ross says:
OPS: Engines are as hot as I can get them...

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Ship fires four shots... one Ventral, one Starboard, one Dorsal and One Port of the Sharikahr

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
EO:  Acknowledged.  Ask, the CEO for recommendations.

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: This is Federation space Captain... I think we have the right to know who they are.

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
COMM: THIS IS YOUR FINAL WARNING. VACATE THIS SPACE IMMEDIATELY

Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: I do too, Cmdr, but not at the expense of our ship and crew

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: Red Alert!

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: I concur... We'll have to get some distance.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Aye sir,  Shields up, all weapons online

Host CO_Fowler says:
OPS: Move us out on ::thinking:: Iccizfron’s course

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Hears red alert, fire off the shields generators::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::watches his console intently to make sure there are no failures::

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CO:  Aye, Captain.  Initiating course change.  ::initiates course change::

EO_LtCmdr_Ross says:
*CEO*: Damage control teams have been assigned sir... any orders?

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
OPS: Do you need his course again?

Host CO_Fowler says:
OPS: Do it

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Sharikahr darts away from the planetoid leaving the Ship to orbit the planetoid.

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
*EO*: I don't have any damage reports yet, so no orders

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: Any correlation’s between that ship and anything we have in the database?

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CTO:  I have it, but send me any projected corrections.

Host CO_Fowler says:
All: I want info. on that ship.  Does it match anything on our data bases?  

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: checking now sir......but I don't remember seeing a ship with that kind of firepower...there is nothing in the database sir.

EO_LtCmdr_Ross says:
CO: no sir...nothing in our database comes close

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: No ma'am....nothing at all

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::turns:: CTO: All right Lieutenant. Any signs of pursuit?

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: No sir not that I can detect

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Watches her crew work together like a well oiled machine::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::Nods to Knight:: CO: Should we stand down to Yellow Alert?

Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Yes

EO_LtCmdr_Ross says:
::Reviews the sensor records of the ship::

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::takes a deep breath, releases it slowly::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: Stand down to Yellow Alert...

Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: That planetoid must have been a cemetery of some sort.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: No pursuit sir.....Standing down to Yellow Alert

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CO:  Not necessarily, Captain.

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Must be... that would explain the lack of lifesigns.

Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Release a probe to slowly go back and record if they are still there

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::brings weapons to standby and keeps his fingers near the shields::  CO: Aye ma'am

Host CO_Fowler says:
OPS: What is your take on this, Ens.?

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Anything in the Intelligence Report on unusual movement in this sector?

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CO:  Well, Ma'am ... they said parents, not ancestors.  Perhaps they're in some type of hibernation or suspension.

Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Not of this sort.  It was pretty short

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Hmm, then we'd better contact Command.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
*Torpedo Room 1*: Prepare probe for launch....<torpedo bay>: *Ready sir*..  CO: Probe ready for launch ma'am

EO_LtCmdr_Ross says:
CO: in any case captain I think we should avoid going back...we are no match for that ship

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::turns back to console, sets preprogram to incorporate probe data into sensor readings::

Host CO_Fowler says:
OPS: Could be, but some would say that their parents rest in a grave

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::launches probe back along their path;:

Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: DO it, Commander.  And include all we have

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CO:  Aye, Ma'am.  However, I thought of the alternative and found the parents reference odd, so I thought I'd better mention it.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Probe launched and data coming back now ma'am

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Understood, I'll use your office... ::turns and walks down to the captain's RR::

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::turns back to console, starts reviewing probe data::

Host CO_Fowler says:
OPS: Always follow your gut feeling, Ens.  It's good to have every possability out to toss around

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Nods to the XO::

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::smiles:: CO:  Aye, Captain.

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Smiles at the Ens. and moves to the TAC station::

Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: What have we got?

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::walks into her office and activates her desk display, opening a channel to SF Command with the Captain's flag number and waits::

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::sits a little straighter at his console::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Nothing ma'am....they just destroyed the probe!

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::watches probe data disappear::

Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Neighborly of them

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO:  Very, I do believe we have stepped on a few toes so to speak

Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: I think you may be right about that

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::sees ice field::  CO:  Captain, we're approaching a large ice field.

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Moves back to her chair and sits::  

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Although ma'am, you should take a look at what we're...::trails off as he hears OPS report::

Host CO_Fowler says:
OPS: Slow to quarter impulse

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::stands patiently waiting for someone from Command to deign to pick up the phone::

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CO:  Aye, Ma'am.  ::slows ship to 1/4 impulse::

Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Route it to my console

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Goes back to analyzing the output of the Warp Core::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Aye ma'am ::routes his tactical readings to the CO's console::

EO_LtCmdr_Ross says:
:;still reviewing the sensor logs::

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
EO:  I'm sending you the communication from that alien ship, can you see if you can make anything out of it?

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
Computer: Cancel transmission request and open a report.

EO_LtCmdr_Ross says:
OPS: yes ensign

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
EO:  Thank you, sir.

EO_LtCmdr_Ross says:
:: starts a decryption algorithm on the communication::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Ma'am it's an ice field of immense proportions and it will play havoc with our sensors I have a feeling, even more so than now

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CO:  I concur, Ma'am.

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
Report: The Sharikahr has encountered numerous anomalies in the spatial formation known as the Glacial Expanse while on a Long-range mission. We have encountered hostiles and have been fired upon. Request assistance and further orders. Will remain in area for investigation purposes.

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
Computer: Send report.

Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: So I see

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: if we go in, we'll be blind, I believe

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::shuts down the console and heads back out to the Bridge::

EO_LtCmdr_Ross says:
::trying to make something out of the communications of the alien vessel::

Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Launch a probe to be our eyes.  All else fails we might have to use a shuttle or stay her awhile

Host CO_Fowler says:
OPS: All stop

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CO:  Aye, Captain.  All stop.  ::stops the ship::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Aye ma'am ::prepares another probe and launches it from the forward torpedo room::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::walks down to his chair:: CO: We're out of immediate comm range, but I sent a report.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: We should see something soon ma'am
