XO: Aye sir.   ::taps her console to alert her when they are with in 10 minutes of the area::
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
CSO: I cannot make anything of this message, can you?
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
::spots ship:: XO: Sir, I've got a contact...about 5 meters long, using a hard fuel propulsion system
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: Hard fuel? No identification yet?
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Good morning, Jyg.  Report, please
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
OPS: Nope, nothing.
TO_Lt_Naug says:
*CTO* sir Alpha team is briefed and ready when you need them
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: We're en route for Sector 34 and we have picked up an unidentified contact. We're working on the signal right now but no positive results yet.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
XO: Sir, that is not a contact, I repeat not one....I had LRS set a little too finely
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Nods:: XO: Very well.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
XO: I apologize sir
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::smiles back at Thorne and looks at the Captain:: CO: Uhm, we have no contact.
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
CSO: Looks like it is only a part of the message. I think we need the whole message to decipher it
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Looks at the screen::
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Understood, Cmdr ::Smiles a bit at both Jyg and Thorne::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
OPS: That could very well be the case.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
::continues scanning with new set of LRS guidelines and feeling totally foolish:: XO: I am however, picking up it's fuel trail sir, it's highly erratic though.....that's what fooled me at first ::Sheepish smile::
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
XO: We're with in 10 minutes from the federation border of sector 34.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::looks over at Shinji:: CSO: Try to get Commander Knight an ETA on positive lock on whatever's making that trail he's detected.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
FCO: Thank you, Ensign. Now inform at five minutes and prepare for reversion to space normal at three minutes.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
XO: should we follow the trail?  ::picks up the trail on sensor as well::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::sits back and looks at the Captain:: CO: Do we move to intercept?
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
XO: Sir, this trail is all over the place
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::swivels his chair:: XO: On it.
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Let's follow it for now
TO_Lt_Naug says:
::finishing up with Alpha team he heads to the TL ::
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
XO: Yes sir.  ::reset alarm for 3 minutes::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Yes ma'am.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
FCO: Belay that order. Drop from warp to reorient our course for the target then resume warp. We only need a short drop to normal space.
TO_Lt_Naug says:
::entering the TL::  TL: bridge
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::nods:: XO: Understood.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Should we stay at the limit of our sensors? It could be a primitive species. We might be on the edge of the Prime Directive.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
::picks up a contact, but makes sure it's the object:: CSO: Ike, are you getting the object about 1.2 light years away from us?
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::drops out of warp for 1.23seconds to align the Shari behind the trail and resumes at warp speed.:: XO: Pursuing the trail at Warp 6.6.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
CTO: Confirmed.  It's been traveling in that direction for a few days, it would seem.
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Yes, Cmdr.  At least until we can either decipher or they make contact with us first
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CSO: Thank you......I suppose that might explain part of the trail's weaving?
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
::Taps a few buttons on her console:: CSO: I have increased sensors. You should be able to get a better reading now
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
XO: Contact for sure this time sir...1.2 light years from us
TO_Lt_Naug says:
::the TL reaches the bridge and walks out::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
OPS: Thank you, Lieutenant.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
XO: Should we continue pursue of the trail?  Or head directly for where the object is located?
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::nods to the captain:: CSO: Start scanning for other signals from that object. If you find a non-optical sensor reading, let us know.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::also notice the object on sensors, and having it confirmed by CSO and CTO is assuring.::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
FCO: I think an intercept will do . Keep sensors tuned for anything left on the path's wake.
TO_Lt_Naug says:
::walks over to Tac 2 to give the CTO a hand::
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
TO: Toir, Alpha team ready for AT?
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
XO: Aye sir.  Intercept course plotted and laid in.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::brings up a full sensor scan on the object::
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Checks her console and sees the latest info on the binary message::
TO_Lt_Naug says:
CTO: yes sir and standby
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
OPS: Not getting any binary from it...
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::looks over at the Captain:: What do you think this is we're following, Captain?
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
CSO: Confirmed. I am not getting any readings either
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
::scans to see if there is any signs of weaponry or other threats:: XO: I have an octagonal object, 5 meters from tip to tip, no internal compartments...it's just all machinery
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: Threat assessment?
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: I don't know, Jyg. It could be almost anything. A new race, a weapon,  even an answering machine
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
XO: We could attempt to send it a binary "hello" and see if it answers
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
XO: I'm working on that sir, but I don't see any weaponry or the like on it.....no threat sir
TO_Lt_Naug says:
::takes up the targeting computer getting ready to lock on::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::nods:: CTO: Thank you, Commander.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::looks at Alex, then looks to the captain:: CO: Do we say Hello?
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
XO: You're welcome sir
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Let's give it a try and see what happens
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Yes ma'am. ::smiles::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Send along the same channel. Send our hails along our standard binary linguacodes. Include the Binar language in case this is an old probe from them.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
OPS: We are assuming, of course, they use the ANSI standard binary code.   ::grins::
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
TO: Scan for any other anomalies Toir, I will keep the object locked
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
::Taps her console and prepares to send binary message:: XO: Yes sir
TO_Lt_Naug says:
CTO: yes sir  :: switches over to scans looking for anything::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::gets up and goes up to Ike's console:: CSO: What do you think this is, Commander?
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
XO: Message is ready ::Taps a key:: Transmitting now sir
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::continues to follow the intercept course::
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Object slows, and rotates towards the Sharikahr
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::looks down to the front of the bridge:: OPS: Acknowledged.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: Could be a probe, maybe
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
XO: Sir, the object is slowing down and rotating towards us
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
XO: The object has slowed down ... at 0.4 light year ahead of us.
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
::Waits patiently for a response to the message::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: its fuel seems to be composed of various local molecules.  It could be used as a long-term scout.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
TO: Toir, look alive....something is changing here
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
FCO: Drop in speed, maintain distance.
Host CO_Fowler says:
All: Seems that we have it's attention
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
XO: No response yet
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CSO: Scan for the most likely local area. If we don't find something out here, we might have to change course.
TO_Lt_Naug says:
CTO: On active scans, sir.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: Maintain scans.. ::walks back down to his chair::
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
XO: Aye sir.......  dropping speed, and maintaining standard distance.  ::uses thrusters backward to slow the inertia of the Shari::
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Object sends a stream of random Binary code back at the Sharikahr
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
XO: Aye sir..maintaining scans
TO_Lt_Naug says:
XO: I’m picking up more coded messages
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
XO: Receiving a message. Running it through the translator now
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Are they trying to contact us or what?
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::glances at Nan:: CO: So it would seem, Captain. It doesn’t' appear to be a sensor, so it simply wants us to answer.
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
::Begins deciphering the message:: XO: Still only seems to be random codes. Can't make it out
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::shrugs:: CO: But we do not know how.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: Sir, the fuel indicates that it has collected molecules from the local interstellar medium.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
OPS: Can you put the random code into another... um.. translator?
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
XO: Should we go to passive scan sir? Maybe it sees us as a threat?
Host CO_Fowler says:
OPS: Continue to send out the standard hailing message.  And keep running their binary through the computer
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Object moves towards the Shari, slowly
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: It hasn't presented any ability to harm us as yet, so we maintain full scans.
Host CO_Fowler says:
FCO: Station keeping for now Ens.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CSO: Conclusions based on that?
TO_Lt_Naug says:
XO: the object is still coming closer to us,  but slowly
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
XO/CO: the object.. is coming towards this way at half impulse speed.
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
FCO: I have run it through the translator, computer, and the cryptographer program
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
CO: Yes, sir.  ::holds their position::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: That's why I think it could be a long-term vessel.  Doesn't need to stop for fuel, just picks it up on its way.
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
::Begins to break down the code into components and looks for repeating codes::
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Stands up from her chair and watches the craft on the screen coming towards them::
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: As the Object nears... the code changes, but is still random
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
OPS: Can you please send the code to Sci lab 1?
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
CSO: Yes sir
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
ALL: The code has changed
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::glances up at the captain, then turns his attention to the aux screen next to his chair:: CSO: Does the object's path suggest that it has been seeking material?
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
::tracks the movement closely for any sign of weapons appearing::
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::puts main viewer on with the object heading towards them::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
*Ens Stolar*: Ensign, we need your talents in the main lab.  Look for the incoming message.
TO_Lt_Naug says:
::continuing the scans of the object::
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
OPS: Perhaps.. our "hello".. is incorrect... What if we repeated the message that they're sending back to them?  Maybe they’re trying to say hello, and wondering what we're doing here.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
TO: Toir, any sign of changes in space around the object?
Host CO_Fowler says:
:: Stands behind the OPS Station::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
<Stolar>*CSO*: Acknowledged, sir.
TO_Lt_Naug says:
CTO: none that I’m detecting sir
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
FCO: That is an idea. ::Hits a few keys and re-transmit the message that they received::
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
TO: Good...keep scanning....I'm concentrating on the object itself for now
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
OPS/XO: I've got my best cryptographer on the job.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::looks past Captain Fowler and watches the object on the screen::
TO_Lt_Naug says:
::switches to long range::
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: When the Object receives the returned transmission... it sends another slightly different signal back
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Looks thoughtful as she listens to the signal::
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
::notices the switch in Tac 2 sensors and nods to Toir::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: Out here, you don't really need to seek material, per se.  It's kind of, all around us.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::glances at the CO who is standing behind the OPS:: OPS/CO: You know.. this reminds me of  childhood game.  Perhaps, using the process of elimination, we can try to make sense of the message.
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
XO: When I transmitted its own message back, it changed
TO_Lt_Naug says:
CTO: I’m keeping my eye out sir
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
OPS/CO: Look for repeated patterns in each of the different messages... maybe they are "words"
Host CO_Fowler says:
FCO: What is your idea, Ens?
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
TO: As always an excellent job, Lt.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Continue with that program but maintain our own signals transmitting at two hertz below the vessel's own channel.
Host CO_Fowler says:
OPS: Try it, Lt.  It can't hurt, and it might work
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: Something on the object flashes, and then it goes completely dead.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::glances up at Shinji:: CSO: Then why the strange path?
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Nods at Ens. Fa::
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
CO: Yes ma'am ::Retransmit the message at a lower level::
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
CO: The object seems to of gone dead
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO/XO: The object has gone dead...there was a flash and now nothing
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::blinks::  CO: The object.. just went.... um.. dead on sensor.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: Search me.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
TO: Toir, LRS report please
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
OPS: Any luck on finding the patterns?  Maybe they were screaming for help?  ::frowns slightly::
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
XO: Still drifting towards us sir
Host CO_Fowler says:
All: Strange....
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::chuckles:: CSO: I'll be sure to note that in my log.
TO_Lt_Naug says:
CTO: nothing but space out there Cmdr
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
FCO: No luck. I have tried to isolate repeating patterns
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::gets up as well:: CO: Shall we bring it onboard?
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
TO: Just checking
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: I recommend a tractor beam, inertia is going to take it right into us.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
CO/XO: The forward inertia of the object is still carrying it.  Maintaining distance.  ::uses thruster backward to keep distance between the UFO and themselves::
TO_Lt_Naug says:
CTO: but I am ready that the object is still moving toward us
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
TO: I have that too Toir, Thank you
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Have a shuttlebay ready just in case. CSO: Not just yet, Cmdr.  FCO: Back us up and match their drift for now
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Aye-aye, Captain.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::looks down:: FCO: Get the Mira prepped. She'll tow that the easiest.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
CO: Speed matched at one half impulse.
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Nods and gives the Ens a small smile:: FCO: Good, Ens.
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
::continues to try to decipher the message::
TO_Lt_Naug says:
CTO: if we bring it on board I think we should place a force shield in there and have Sec on it first
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
XO/CO: Can't decipher the message. It does not make any sense
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
TO: I agree.....why don't you get down there...check with Cmdr. Ahkileez first though
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
OPS: Word from the lab is that this is just gibberish.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
XO: Aye sir.  ::taps her commbadge and contacts Ens. Squire who's in shuttle bay:: *Squire*: Prepare Shuttle Mira for possible away mission.  We might need him to tow an unidentified object to our shuttle bay.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::turns:: CTO: Keep an eye on that thing.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO/XO: It has completely shut down.  I most certainly will sir
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::glances at Shinji:: CSO: Someone mentioned some sort of event before it went offline? What was it?
Host CO_Fowler says:
OPS: Have the computer keep trying.  Meanwhile, I think it might be time to bring it on board.  XO: What are your thoughts, Jyg?
TO_Lt_Naug says:
::turns around ::  XO: If we bring that thing into the shuttle bay we need to have a force shield in place for it
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::thinks:: CO: Unsure at this point, Captain. This is intriguing, but very peculiar.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
XO/CO: I recommend caution if you're thinking of bringing this vessel onboard.
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
XO/CO: We could put it in a containment field
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
XO/CO: It could be hostile.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
XO/CO: Or seal shuttle bay, once it is brought in.
Host CO_Fowler says:
FCO: True, but it could also be in trouble.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: We could send and engineering team down with Commander Ikari to check it out?
TO_Lt_Naug says:
CO/XO: If I may, I have a suggestion.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::nods:: CO: I understand, ma'am.  I recommend we send the shuttle Mira on autopilot.
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
CO: We could do a power transfer beam and see if that is what it needs
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: Seemed to be a flash of light on the exterior of the object, I'll parse the logs to see if it was anything more.
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: We could, Jyg. We could also try Lt. Horn's idea
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CSO: Thank you, Ike. See what you can find out. ::returns to Nan::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: We could try it in the shuttlebay. We should have it in an environment we can control.
Host CO_Fowler says:
OPS: Try a low power transfer, Lt
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
CO: Yes ma'am ::Begins to initiate transfer at 1/4 normal::
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
CO: Initiating beam now
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
OPS/XO: It appears to still have plenty of fuel...
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: Nothing happens
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO/XO: It is not without power, however, it's just shut down somehow
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
CO: No affect with the beam. Shutting it down
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::smiles:: CO: Plan B then?
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
XO/CO: If I may, even though it doesn't appear hostile at this time, if we do bring it aboard, I suggest the containment field and putting it in a spot where it will do the least damage if something does go wrong
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Have the Mira go out on automatic.  Have it match the object and let's see how they react to it.  Then we can decide if we should  bring it on board
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::nods:: CO: Aye.
Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO:  Have the bay ready for just that, Cmdr
TO_Lt_Naug says:
CTO: and have SEC handle it at first to secure it and access it for weapons or anything like it
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
::goes back to watching his scans of the object very closely::  CO: Aye ma'am
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
TO: Go to it Toir....I want you and Alpha team down there when we get it aboard
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
FCO: Launch the Mira. Slave controls to your console.
TO_Lt_Naug says:
CTO: yes sir,  I’ll let you know when your set up
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
TO: acknowledged, taking back LRS as well
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
XO: Aye sir.
TO_Lt_Naug says:
::heads for the TL and enters:: TL: shuttle bay
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
*Shuttle bay*: Prepare to launch the Mira, and redirect his helm control to Flight control station one.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:

FCO_Ens_Fa says:
XO: Launching sequence initiated....
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Nods at Thorne:: CTO: Good. Keep us informed
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
FCO: Let's make this a quick jump all right?
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO: Aye ma'am
TO_Lt_Naug says:
::sees Alpha team walking in:: *CTO* yes sir I’m working on it     ::  briefs them fast and they all set to get the force shield ready::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Cease transmitting.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::sets Mira with a tractor beam:: XO: On it sir.    Mira has a tractor beam locked, and is now returning to the ship, heading for shuttle bay one.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO: Ma'am, I'd like Alpha team to do a security scan before we try to open it or anything.....just to be safe ::smiling::
OPS_Lt_Horn says:

CTO: Very well, Cmdr
TO_Lt_Naug says:
Alpha team:: as soon as the object is in here all of you  state scanning with your tricorders and look for anything hostile about it,  if it creaks I want to know why
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
FCO: Understood.
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Care to join me in the shuttle bay and see this object first hand?
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
*TO*: Toir, the CO agrees...scan it before anything is done with it
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::smiles:: OPS: You can let the shuttlebay personnel know that it's coming.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: I would be honored, Captain.
TO_Lt_Naug says:
*CTO* thank you Cmdr I feel better about doing that first
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
XO: already done sir.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO/CO: Mind if I tag along?
