Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
RECAP:  The Alien ship pursuing Iccizfron has been destroyed and Iccizfron's damaged shuttle is in the shuttle bay.

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

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::In Main Engineering, trying to keep the ship together::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
~~~~ ::tries one more time to reach Iccizfron, to convince him to exit his ship and explain himself:: ~~~~

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::at OPS/FCO, carefully maneuvering the ship through the expanse::

CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::in the shuttlebay, waiting for Izzy to depart::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::On bridge with the CSO, OPS, FCO trying to figure a way out of the ice field::

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::in the shuttle bay with phaser drown ready to cut that hole::  self: let me cut that hole i'll get him out

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Standing next to her XO::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::looks over:: CO: Captain... my patience is wearing thin with him...

Host Iccizfron says:
ACTION: The aft door to Iccizfron's shuttle hisses, and then opens as the 8 foot tall wooly alien strides out into the shuttlebay.

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Standing next to the CO::

Host CO_Fowler says:
::about to answer, when the door opens::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::turns at the sound, gazing at the large creature exits::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CSO: Sir, any luck on that loop for confusing the other ship?

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::sees the creature and looks up to his face ::

CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::looks at Iccizfron as he comes out:: Self: Hmm, just a little tall...

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
OPS: How are we doing Mr. Shiraz?

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::whispers:: TO: Lower your weapon...

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CTO:  We're still at 1/2 impulse, it's slow going but minimal problems, Sir.

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Moves to stand between the alien and the CO::

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
CTO: The false information itself hasn't been too hard to come up with.  It's the implanting of it that we'll have to be careful about.

Host CO_Fowler says:
Iccizfron: Welcome to the Sharikahr.  I am Captain Fowler

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::lowers weapon::  Alpha team: all stand down

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::Looking at the displays coming in to tactical....OPS: Keep me posted please

Host Iccizfron says:
Fowler:  Thanks you for saving myself and my ship.  One is grateful.

CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::walks close enough to scan Iccizfron::

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CTO:  Aye, sir.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CSO: I see, well we have the time it appears sir ::knocks on his console::

Host CO_Fowler says:
Iccizfron: Maybe we can talk some? 

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
CTO: I'm a little worried about this 'loop', however.

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::keeping guard next to the XO::

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::splits display between OPS/FCO and COM systems, reviews COM search log from past five minutes::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CSO: How so?

CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::looks over the Med tricorder as he scans::

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
CSO: We'll have to make it seamless, so as to not let on that we're just restarting the information

Host Iccizfron says:
Fowler: Yes.. I've decided to share my data on this region of space.

Host Iccizfron says:
ACTION: The Ice Field begins to thin out...

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::is surprised at the news, suspecting that he might have to pay the man to get this information::

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CTO:  Lt., the ice field is thinning.

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Looks to Fowler:: CO: Ma'am....

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::looks at the Captain:: CO: Do you want to do this in the Conference Room?

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CSO: Well let's make sure we do it right so we aren't making any fatal mistakes ::grins::

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::listening to the conversation::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
OPS: Aye  *CO*: Ma'am the ice field is thinning out...do we go to full impulse or stop?

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::nods and looks up at the viewscreen:: CTO/OPS: Looks like things are getting a little easier for us.

Host CO_Fowler says:
Iccizfron: Good, ::smiling:: If you would excuse me for just a moment.  Ships business you know.  XO: Commander? ::indicating Izzy::

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::nods at the CSO::

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Takes the counselor aside:: CNS: Yes?

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CSO: I hope so, but that's when I start to get worried...

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::walks over to the apda team leader::   team leader:  i want guards posted here at all times

CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::is satisfied with the scans::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
Izzy: Iccizfron, if you'd come with me, I'll show you to the the conference room where we can talk in more comfortable surroundings.

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Nods to the alien:: CO: We have little to lose by listening to him, I suggest a briefing of sorts.

CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
XO: Commander scans indicate safe readings.

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
CTO: Always the pessimist, eh?

Host Iccizfron says:
::Bows deeply and follows the Commander::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::Sees six more planetoids appear on his screens::  CSO: Sir, do you see that....not really sir...Just realistic ::smiles::

Host CO_Fowler says:
CNS: Good.  Join us in the conference room, please

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CMO: Understood Doctor. Please report back to Sickbay at your leisure...

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::leads Iccizfron to the SB's door and then down the hall before tapping his badge::

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Nods to the CO and follows the procession::

Host Iccizfron says:
::Ducks through the doorways::

CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
XO: Thank you sir. ::exits the shuttlebay heading back to Sickbay::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*CTO*: Status Lt. Knight?

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::looks up again, then back down to his sensors:: CTO: We're not getting too much data from them

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Walks with the CNS behind the other group::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CSO: Case in point....we need to let the Captain or XO know about this... *XO* : Sir, we have come out of the ice field and there are now six more planetoids

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CTO:  Lt. ETA is 15 minutes to the planetoids.  Should I continue on present course?

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*CTO*: Understood. Are we still at Red Alert?

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Looks to the CO:: Ma'am?

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
Izzy: In here please.. ::waits outside the TL for him to enter first::

Host CO_Fowler says:
CNS: S`Tal, I would like for you to listen to him while we talk.  Let me know if in any way you feel we can't trust either him or the information he gives us.

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::makes sure shuttle bay is secure with guards posted and exits shuttle bay::  *CTO*  I’m finished down here  were do you need me sir

Host Iccizfron says:
Ahkileez: Thank you.. ::ducks into the TL::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
*XO*: Aye sir, 15 minutes to intercept do we stay on present course...

Host Iccizfron says:
Ahkileez:  Is your home planet far from here?

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
*TO*: Return to Main Weapons for now Mr. Naug

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
CO: Aye ma'am, but it may be more complicated than that.

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Lowers the drain of power from the IDF Grid::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::nods:: Izzy: Yes, quite far in fact. many days travel. Where is yours? Near?

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
OPS: Slow to one quarter impulse Ensign until we now what's happening

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

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::enters TL::  TL: deck 2

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CTO:  Aye, sir.  Slowing to 1/4 impulse.  ::slows the ship to 1/4 impulse::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
*XO*: Aye sir standing down....::presses buttons on console canceling red alert::

Host CO_Fowler says:
CNS: I understand, but I want to know your feelings.  ::holds up her hand:: I know, Vulcans don't subscribe to that, but I still want to know ::smiles::

CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::walks into Sickbay seeing that things have slowed down, goes to his desk to further analyze the readings from Iccizfron::

Host Iccizfron says:
Ahkileez: My people control a large empire spanning almost this entire quadrant of space.

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::exits TL into main weapons bay::

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Nods his head:: CO: Aye ma'am

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Steps into the next TL with the CNS::

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Follows the CO::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::steps out as the lift stops and slowly leads him down the hall:: Izzy: Excuse me? The Federation has never heard of any large empires in this sector, and certainly not in the Alpha Quadrant. What is their name?

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
OPS: ETA Ensign?

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::begins new subspace COM search pattern, initiates overlapping patterned and random searches::

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::goes over to console and checks the inventory of the torpedoes::

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CTO:  12 minutes, on my mark.

CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::taps on the screen, looking at cellular readings, seeing something very interesting::

Host Iccizfron says:
Ahkileez: I come from the species that was allied with the Iconian Empire.

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CTO:  5 4 3 2 1 ... Mark.

Host Iccizfron says:
Ahkileez: Your small Federation has surely encountered our ships before.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
OPS: Aye, when we get there establish a parking orbit around the cluster of planetoids

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Nods at the mention of the Iconians::

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Exits the TL and makes her way to the room::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
Izzy: I'm afraid not Iccizfron. The Iconians have been defunct for millennia...  ::enters the Conference Room::

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CTO:  Aye, sir.  ::adjusts course toward planetoid, readies parking orbit coordinates::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
*TO*: Mr. Naug, when you get back to Main Weapons...please initiate long range passive scans...lets go quietly for a while

CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::looks at the data:: *XO*: Commander this is Sickbay....

Host Iccizfron says:
Ahkileez: That is impossible.. I only left my home planet four months ago.  And the Iconian Empire was at a peak.. we had no enemies.

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CSO:  Commander, could I have your assistance for a moment?

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
Izzy: I... one moment please.

Host CO_Fowler says:
Self: Iconians?

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*CMO*: Yes Doctor.

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::calls down to the security offices to dispatch teams through the ship for added security for Izzy::  *CTO*  aye sir  i also got extra security for the safety of Izzy sir

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
OPS: Sure thing.  What do you need ensign?

Host CO_Fowler says:
Iccizfron: You say you left 4 months ago?

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::checks his targeting and long range scans and switches back to passive scans  *TO*: Aye good job

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::starts a long range passive scan::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
*CEO* : Mr. Jax, I need you to give me an estimate on our repair time please

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
Iccizfron: You have no knowledge of a meeting with James Kirk then?

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CSO:  Well, sir, I'm ... well, I've never brought a ship this size into orbit around anything like this.  What distance do you think I should keep us from the cluster?

Host Iccizfron says:
Fowler: Yes Captain.. I am on a 9 month scientific mission.

Host Iccizfron says:
S'Tal:  Who is this "James Kirk"?

CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
*XO*: I have looked over the data on Iccizfron, mainly cellular composition and such...it seems he has been in suspended animation....I don't have a duration but definitely longer than 10 years.

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Nods at Izzy::  Iccizfron: Maybe we should compare scientific notes then

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
OPS: Honestly, I'd be surprised if we could orbit something like this...

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*CMO*: I suspected as much. Iccizfron claims to be from the era of the Iconians...

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
*CTO* scans active sir

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::raises his eyebrows::  CSO:  Recommendations?

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Looks to the CO before continuing:: Izzicfron: A Captain of one of our starships.

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
*CTO*: Well, not much systems were damaged, so it wouldn't take more than an hour

CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
*XO*: He's gonna be quite confused....

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
OPS: Just try not to get pulled into orbit of a single planetoid, keep a safe distance

Host Iccizfron says:
Fowler: Very well... may I use your computer display?

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
*CEO*: Good, are we back to full capacity on aft shields?

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*CMO*: Agreed... Please come up here, and transfer your data to the display computers up here.

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
*CTO*: Certainly....

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CSO/OPS: Would it be better to back off a ways to give us more reaction time?

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CSO:  Aye, sir.  ::thinks to himself::  Perhaps I should put is until a moving orbit just outside the cluster at say, ::calculates:: 1/2 AU?

CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
*XO*: On my way. ::downloads the data on a PADD and heads up to meet them::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
*CEO*: Good, just checking sir

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
:;turns and watches the conversation, intrigued at the man lost in time::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
*CTO*: Ok.......

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::security teams checking in letting me know they are on patrol::

Host CO_Fowler says:
Iccizfron: Follow me.  ::leads Iccizfron to a console that doesn't have critical info. on it:: Here we are

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
OPS: 1/2 AU sounds good ensign.  CTO: Well, planets do move pretty slow, relative to us, of course.

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CTO:  5 minutes to planetary cluster.

Host Iccizfron says:
::Bows to Fowler takes out a small device and uses it to access the display, overriding its readouts and displaying Astrometrics data on the entire Glacial Expanse::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CSO: Mr. Ikari, do you see any difference in these other planetoids?

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
~~~~CNS: I feel he is telling the truth, as he believes it. Do your observations differ?~~~~

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
OPS: Very good Ensign

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Glances at Jyg'lo:: XO: Quite impressive, isn't it?  ::Looks at the screen::

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
~~~~XO: I Concur, he is a lost soul~~~~

Host Iccizfron says:
Fowler: This is the expanse.. the first three months of my expedition were charting it.  My primary interest here is fractal structures at a macroscopic scale in spatial environments.

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
CTO: The computer can't analyze them correctly, it's their orbits.

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::walks up next to the Captain, looking at the readouts:: CO: Yes Ma'am.. we could have mapped this sector in a few hours had we access to this information.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::has a prickling sensation at the back of his neck:: *TO*: Mr. Naug, keep torpedo crews by their tubes....but not at full alert

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CSO: Understood

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
~~~~ CNS: Recommended approach to letting him know the truth?~~~~

CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::enters the room where Iccizfron and the others are::

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Nods in agreement:: Iccizfron: I know this might be a touchy subject, but about the ship that was firing on you....?

Host Iccizfron says:
Fowler: However recently, anomalies have shown up.  I had to go into stasis for a week to wait out a very dense ice storm inside of an ice crystal.

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::looks at the orbits of the planets::  CSO:  Commander, the orbits look familiar to me.  Like fractal paintings I observed at school.

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
*CTO* aye sir      :: scrambles the torpedo crews to get ready::

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Turns to the XO:: Sir? ::Motions to the side::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::follows, lowering his voice:: CNS: Yes Counselor?

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Goes to switch shifts for the repair crew::

CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::stands, waiting patiently until he is needed::

Host Iccizfron says:
Fowler: I do not know that ship... it sent me a message, claiming I was their enemy and pursued me.  When I came out of stasis, several ice covered planetoids were spread throughout the expanse.  I do not know where they came from.

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
OPS: Good eye ensign.

Host CO_Fowler says:
Iccizfron: And your ship survived while you were in stasis?  Incredible  ::Look of astonishment::

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::blushes::  CSO:  Thank you sir, didn't know my passing fancy for art would come in handy.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
*XO*: Sir, we're in parking orbit around the six planetoids, Passive scans at this time...Engineering estimates an hour repair time to damages

Host Iccizfron says:
Fowler:  It is programmed to react if anything detrimental happens.  I chose a larger crystal that was slow moving and very dense and not likely to change.

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
XO: If he is from the Iconian age, then whatever we tell him will do little harm, but may do much good. I suggest telling him the entire truth, except where it may compromise security.

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::checks to make sure all torpedo tubes are ready::

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
OPS: After a few years on a ship like this, you'll start to notice that physics is encompassed in practically everything.  ::grins::

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Nods at Izzy::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*CTO*: Upgrade the scans to active. We cannot afford another of those vessels getting the drop on us. Adjust our orbit to keep one side to the Expanse to limit the "sky" we have to watch.

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CTO:  We're entering orbit around the cluster.  1/2 AU and holding on a moving orbit using full thrusters.

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CNS: How will he accept that his empire is dead Counselor, his people gone...

Host Iccizfron says:
::Hits some buttons and the planetoids appear on his map.. with a vaguely familiar configuration::

Host Iccizfron says:
Fowler: These are the planetoids I have found so far...

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
*XO*: Aye sir....::sees Long Range Scans pick up a contact::  *XO*: Sir we have company coming up fast...ETA 13 minutes

Host CO_Fowler says:
Self: Interesting  ::Steps a bit closer to study the screen::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::catches the Captains attention:: CO: We're now in vicinity  of one of the planetary formations. I have Lt. Knight keeping an eye out for more of Iccizfron’s friends..

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
XO: That I cannot say, but would you want to have that information withheld from you?

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
*XO*: Approaching at high warp

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*CTO*: Does it match the previous contact?

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::checks for COM signals from upcoming contact vessel::  CTO:  No COM signals from incoming contact.

Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Good.  ::Still looking at the screen::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CNS: No... I suppose not.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
*XO*: Scanning now sir

CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::nods to Commander Ahkileez::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Runs a level 3 diagnostic on replicators::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*CTO*: Good, keep me updated, and this channel open.

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CMO: Over here Doctor.. ::invites him intot he corner he and the CNS are in::

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::stars at the main screen::  CTO/CSO:  Sirs, I think I recognize the pattern of the planetoids.

Host CO_Fowler says:
Iccizfron: And have you come across any one else while in the expanse? Besides us an that ship?

CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::walks over to where the XO and CNS are standing::

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Nods to the CMO, whom he hasn't yet met::

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::moves closer to OPS:: OPS: What do you have?

Host Iccizfron says:
Fowler:  No.

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CSO:  Well, sir.  If I'm not mistaken it's in the formation of the constellation of Orion.  ::hits an overlay screen onto his console to show the pattern::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CNS: Prepare the most logical timeline for him that you can. Get him a total historical record, or as good as we have it, on the demise of the Iconians. Maybe he had seen it foreshadowed in his time.

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
CTO: Scan the incoming vessel for lifesigns, please.

Host CO_Fowler says:
::notices her officers quietly chatting and keeps talking to Izzy::

CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::nods to the CNS::

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::stares at the console for a few seconds:: Aloud: How odd...

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CMO: This data on his stasis...

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
*XO*: Aye sir...::scans the ship further::  CSO: Aye sir....No lifesigns   *XO* Sir, we are in trouble, it matches the first ship we met

Host CO_Fowler says:
Iccizfron: Would you look at this and see if you can tell us anything about it? ::Calls up the information on the first planetoid they came across::

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Hands the XO a PADD:: XO: Already done sir.

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::curses:: *CTO*: Red Alert!

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: We have trouble Captain.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CSO: Do you scan any sir....*XO*: aye sir...

CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
XO: Yes sir....::punches it up nearby console, stops as he hears Red Alert::

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
CTO: No lifesigns... good.  Perhaps we can try our little trick out.

Host Iccizfron says:
Fowler:  It is exactly the same as the other planetoids I've encountered.  Cities beneath a massive layer of solid ice.  I was not interested in them, so I left them alone.

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::hears the red alert and jumps into action::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CNS: Lieutenant, take charge of the information. CMO: You are to work with Counselor S'tal.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
*Red Alert*, *Red Alert*: Shields up,

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
OPS: What do you think this ::points to overlay:: means, ensign?

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
*CTO* ready down here sir tubes loaded

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Hears red alert and prepares shields::

Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: To the bridge

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
XO: Aye sir. ::Looks to the CMO:: CMO: Shall we?

Host CO_Fowler says:
Iccizfron: Join me on the bridge please

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
*TO*: Excellent

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Understood Captain, on my way.

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::exits the CR quickly, grabbing the first TL::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
*XO*: Shields up and weapons online sir

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Changes shift status to Red Alert Mode::

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::thinks for a moment::  CSO:  Well, sir.  Everything we've encountered suggests an intelligent society.  The technology certainly appears advanced, but based on the lack of lifesigns I'd say it's a dead civilization and we're dealing with automated guardians.

CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::smiles:: CNS: Indeed....I am Doctor Joseph Leonard...the new Chief Medical Officer.

Host CO_Fowler says:
CNS: Counselor, stay close to us

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*CTO*: Keep them targeted and send standard hails. I'm on my way.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
OPS: Get ready Ensign we may be leaving in a hurry

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::making sure phaser banks are at full::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::exits the TL and walks onto the Bridge::

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Gets into the TL with Izzy and S`Tal::  TL: Bridge

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CSO:  If you look at the overlay, it constellation pattern is slightly off the current position of the stars.  ::types into console::  I'm having the computer trying to determine at what point this was designed based on it's position v. the current position.

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
OPS: Yes, but that would suggest that these planetoids have been created or at least forced into this particular orbit...

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Looks to the CMO:: CMO: Try to refine this data.:: Follows the CO, motioning the CMO to follow::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: You're relieved Lt., please take your station.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
*XO*: Aye sir....OPS: send standard hails ensign...::sees XO Ahkileez exit TL:: XO: Aye sir

CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::follows as well::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CSO: There is some interesting data in the subnode of the Conference Room. Transfer that data to your station and take a look at it.

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
*security* keep a guard on Izzy

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::moves back to his station and immediately locks all weapons on approaching target::

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CTO:  Aye, sir.  Hailing frequencies open.  Standard opening hail transmitted.

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Turn the ship to face them, bow first, like before.

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::notices the XO and looks up:: XO: Will do, sir.  ::moves to SCI 1 and begins to transfer the data::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: if we just had a weak point for me to target..

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::hears the XO::  XO:  Aye, sir.  New heading 215 mark 0.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: ETA three  minutes sir

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: Maybe Iccizfron can help, he's on his way...

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Exits the TL and goes to her chair::

Host Iccizfron says:
<Alien Ship> BROADBAND COM:  You are in violation of the resting place of the parents.  Vacate this space.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: I hope so sir

Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Report

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
Self: Three minutes... they're moving fast...

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
<security guard> ::enters bridge to keep guard and stays back::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: We have incoming. Contacts match the previous aggressors and they are closing fast. I recommend we retreat. We may not be lucky twice.

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
XO:  We're receiving a broadband COM signal.  It matches our earlier COM signal encounters.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::targets weapons on the other ship knowing it isn't enough::

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Exits and stands behind Fowler, motioning to Leonard to follow::

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
XO:  No response to our hails.

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Indicates that Iccizfron and S`Tal move by her chair::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Understood. ::takes his chair next to the Captain, Seat 2.0 [tm]::

Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Agreed. Pull back

Host Iccizfron says:
::Stands and looks at the viewscreen::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Move us out of here, maximum sustainable warp as soon as we're clear.

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

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: Try to disrupt our warp trail if you can...

CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::close behind the CNS::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Aye sir....

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*CEO*: Bridge to Engineering...

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::starts reading over the data and gets visibly frustrated::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
*XO*: Jax here

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
XO:  Aye, sir.  ::initiates new course::  Departure course at full impulse.  Warp speed in one minute.

Host CO_Fowler says:
Iccizfron: Can you tell us anything about them?  Like why they kep repeating that this is the resting place of their parents?

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Watches his engines heat up::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*CEO*: Commander, we are at high alert. Our friends are back. Prioritize everything for attack posture. Do not let our shields drop...

Host Iccizfron says:
Fowler: I have no idea Captain.

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
*XO*: Aye

Host Iccizfron says:
ACTION: Three Torpedoes incoming.

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
XO/CO:  Warp speed in 5 4 3 2 1.

Host Iccizfron says:
<Alien Ship> BROADBAND COM:  You are in violation of the resting place of the parents.  Vacate this space.

Host CO_Fowler says:
OPS: Evasive!

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
*TO*: Mr. Naug we are going to be firing .... :: alerts flare on his board:: All: Incoming torpedoes

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Watches his warp engines powers up::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*Shipwide*: All hands, Brace for Impact!

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
CO: Ma'am, they didn't say that they were their parents, but the parents.

Host Iccizfron says:
ACTION: One of the torpedoes broadsides the port nacelle, knocking warp power offline

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: firing torpedoes aft sir

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Braces for impact::

CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::holds on to something::

Host CO_Fowler says:
CNS: True

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Ducks for exploding things::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::falls to his knees as the Sharikahr is rocked::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::gets thrown from his chair as the ship rocks violently. Of course he looks cool doing it::

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::falls out of his chair and hits the floor::

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::braces with his console::  CO:  Initiating evasive maneuver pattern delta 4, full impulse.  Warp engines are off line.

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Grabs the arms of her chair and falls out of it anyway, landing on her XO::

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
CO: Ask Izzicfron about religion

CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::hits the deck::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
*CO*: Captain, that blow knocked the warp engines offline....

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::oof:: CO: Are you all right Captain? ::helps her up::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::targets the alien ship and fires at her with phasers and all torpedoes::.. *TO* Mr. Naug, I need torpedoes as fast as you can load then

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Takes his hand:: XO: I think I'll live

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: Commander, does Iccizfron know why the planetoids in his data all make out local constellations?

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
*CO*: Attending to repairs..

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Looks to the CMO:: CMO: Are you uninjured?

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CO:  Captain, we've got a hull breach on deck six.  A big hull breach at the shuttlebay.

Host CO_Fowler says:
*CEO*: Do what you can, we need to get out of this area, now

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
~~~~::checks for his wife and family, relieved they're all right, just scared:: ~~~~

Host Iccizfron says:
ACTION: Four more torpedoes incoming... and the torpedoes launched from the Shari all hit the alien ship, direct hits, knocking out its forward launchers.

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CSO: I don't know.. .I suggest you ask Commander.

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::gets back up and looks at console::  *CTO*    Ready sir  at your command    and we jsut lost 2 guys in the shuttle bay too  it was breached

CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::gets up:: CNS: I'm ok...anyone hurt?

Host CO_Fowler says:
OPS: Send repair teams.  Patch it only until we can get away

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
CMO: I think we're all shaken...not stirred

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Runs around trying to replace a few power couplings::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Sir, we may have hit upon a plan earlier....Mr. Ikari thinks we could confuse them with a fake signature ::sees the hits on the vessel and targets the nacelles::

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CO:  Aye, Captain.  ::signals Jax with CO's instructions::

CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::smiles::

Host Iccizfron says:
ACTION: Evasive maneuvers pay off and only two of the torpedoes hit the shields, weakening them, but not breaching them.

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::turns:: CSO: Can our ship stand the gravitational stresses in  the apex of that planetary formation?

CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::contacts Medical teams to Sickbay, for injuries that will surely arrive::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Receives CO's instructions from OPS, but already had his team on it::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Sir, we've damaged him...his forward torpedo tubes are damaged.

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::turns to Iccizfron:: Izzy: Pardon me, but do you know why these planetoids all make out the patterns of local constellations?

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: Implement it as soon as it's ready. We need every chance.

Host Iccizfron says:
ACTION: The Alien ship comes around for a pass with energy weapons

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Aye sir

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: Continue firing, engines and other weapons locales.

Host Iccizfron says:
Ikari: I have no idea, I don't recognize those patterns

Host CO_Fowler says:
::looks at Izzy and Ike::

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: I would suspect not sir.  We'd be getting pulled in every direction possible.

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CO:  Initiating new evasive pattern--Omega2.

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CSO: Damn... All right, thank you Commander.

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::working fast to keep those tubes loaded::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Aye....:targets the other weapons pods::

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
~~~~XO: Idea!~~~~

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*CEO*: How are our shields holding Commander?

Host Iccizfron says:
ACTION: The Alien ships phasers lance across the Sharikahr's hull marring it with a black line..

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
~~~CNS: Yes Counselor?~~~~

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::shoots a look at CO to show her that he's stumped::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
*XO*: Our shields can't hold much longer, I'm looking into putting more power to it

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::rocks a little as the ship gets scarred::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::shakes as the energy beams hit the hull:: XO: Sir the fake signature is ready

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
~~~~XO: This is religious, back off and reconsider ~~~~~

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
:: fires again at the nacelles and torpedo tubes::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
~~~~ CNS: We're working on it, but the won't let us leave....~~~~

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: Execute!

Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Fire back at them

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::rolls the ship under the alien vessel::

CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
CNS: I must report to Sickbay....

Host Iccizfron says:
ACTION: The Sharikahr manages to knock out a power center of some sort on the Alien ship and it stops in its tracks and weapon systems go offline.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::Targets and fires phasers point blank across the hull::

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
~~~~~~XO: Be submissive? ~~~~

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Captain we... ::looks at the rear-looking viewscreen::

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
CMO: Go to it .

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
~~~CNS: Looks like we may not have to... ~~~~

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CO:  New evasive pattern, ready Captain.  Pattern beta 3.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
All: He's stopped dead… weapons systems off  line

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: Is it a trick?

CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::enters the TL, heading to Sickbay::

Host CO_Fowler says:
OPS: Do it

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
~~~~~XO: Not to end the fight, but to understand ~~~~~

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: I don't think so sir, they're just dead...no signs of any weapon energy or tubes loaded

Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Make sure they are really stopped

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CO:  Initiating evasive maneuver.  ::Drops ship onto its tail and reverse the impulse engines at full::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
~~~~ CNS: I wish they'd give us the chance.~~~~

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*CEO*: Status?

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: It's got a breathable atmosphere inside, sir...

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CSO: But no signs of life right?

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
*XO*: Shields are at 50% sir.... weapons are holding....

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: Correct.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Aye ma'am ::checks for any sign of movement at all:: CO: Ma'am their engines are powered down, and I detect no communications within the ship

Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Could we beam a team over

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
*XO*: We're still working on the warp drive

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Looks to the XO and nods to Nan:: XO: May I?

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*CEO*: Get them back up again as soon as possible.

CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::enters Sickbay::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CSO: Good... thank you.

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
*XO*: Of course sir

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*CEO*: Ahkileez out.

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: I wouldn't suggest it Captain. Not yet anyway...

Host Iccizfron says:
Fowler: Captain, perhaps investigating that ship would prove fruitful

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Moves the Shields to Top priority and Warp Drive as second::

Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: After the shuttle bay was hit, did Iccizfron’s ship survive?

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
CO: I agree ma'am.  We could find out what exactly we've been fighting

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
CO:  Captain.  XO:  No disrespect, sir.  CO:  I'd like to get at their COM systems and find out why they're ignoring us.

Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: I agree with Iccizfron on this.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::makes a targeting sweep around the ship and detects no other hostiles:: CO: No Ma'am it didn't...it was pretty well mangled with that first salvo that hit us...Security Team Alpha reports a total loss except for the computer core

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
*sickbay* i had 2 security officers in the shuttle bay are they ok

Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Get a tractor beam on it.  Salvage the core

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: We should send a single two-man team first then, to secure it.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
*TO*: Mr. Naug, see to your Security team

Host Iccizfron says:
Fowler: And Captain, I would like to go over and investigate as well.  That ship is different from the one that attacked me and seems familiar... especially the markings on the dorsal side.

CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
*TO*: I am preparing a team to go there now.

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
Iccizfron: Have you ever been worshipped as a god by the ones you have encountered?

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
*CTO* yes sir   checking on it know

CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::grabs a med. kit and instructs 2 others to follow and heads to shuttlebay::

Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: All right.  I'll take Knight with me.  We'll check it out and then go from there

Host Iccizfron says:
S'Tal: I am not a god, why would I be worshipped?

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Captain... ::sigh:: All right. But Ensign Shiraz will keep a constant lock on you, agreed?

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
Iccizfron: Any technology sufficiently advanced is indistinguishable from magic.

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
*ship comm* all security check in know

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Tries booting up the warp drive and runs a level 1 diagnostic on it::

Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: I wouldn't have it any other way Commander ::Grins at him::

Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Knight, you're with me

Host Iccizfron says:
S'Tal: That ship is more technologically advanced than anything I've encountered.

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::turns from her and walks down to OPS:: OPS: Get that trace program of yours running Ensign...

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
*TO*: Mr. Naug I need you up here on the bridge   CO: Aye ma'am...and Captain, I've secured Iccizfron's ship in the force field

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::every one checks in but the 2 left in the shuttle bay::

Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Good.  Let’s go

CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::comes to the shuttlebay doors, tapping on the console to check to make sure the atmosphere is safe in the shuttlebay::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Aye ma'am

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
Iccizfron: But perhaps they know someone you've met in your travels

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
*CTO*  aye sir on my way , we also have the 2 officers in the shuttle bay not answering

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
::stares at the retreating back of the CO::  XO:  Aye, sir.  ::turns back to the OPS console and initiates transport tracking program::

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::goes over tot eh TL::

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Enters the TL::

Host Iccizfron says:
S'Tal: Anything is possible.

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
TL: bridge

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
*TO*: I'm sorry Mr. Naug....continue the search for them .. You have Tactical until I return

Host Iccizfron says:
::Follows the Captain::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: And move us a little closer, just in case.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::follows Iccizfron and the Captain to the TL::

Host CO_Fowler says:
Iccizfron: You will stay here until we deem the ship safe

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
*CTO* it will be safe in my hands  *CMO* status please

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*CEO*: Once you have Shields and the Core back online, I need you to work on a way to "talk" to this automated ship.

OPS_Ens_Shiraz says:
XO:  Aye, sir.  ::moves the ship closer to the alien vessel::

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
XO: I don't like the current situation sir.

Host Iccizfron says:
Fowler: Captain, I would like to accompany you, I am capable of surviving in a variety of environments.

CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
*TO*: We are at the shuttlebay doors now....making sure there is a breathable atmosphere before I open the doors.

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::exits TL into bridge::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CNS: Nor I Counselor, but the Captain knows what she's doing... Was your conversation with Iccizfron fruitful?

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::moves to CNS:: CNS: About Iccizfron's comments, contrary to his expressions, that ship seems to be incredibly out of date...

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
*CMO* keep me posted

CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::opens the doors and walks into the trashed shuttlebay:: My god....

Host CO_Fowler says:
::looks at him:: Iccizfron: Very well

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
XO: On the contrary, he is very....interesting.

Host Iccizfron says:
