CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::continues to work with the teams, running detailed, hi-res scans of the nanomachines::
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
CTO: What about the temporal anomaly from the convergence of the flows?
SO_Ens_Semaj says:
CSO: When I was scanning the energy from the bridge, I noticed that it had a very complex matrix for being of such low power.  What if we tried to screen for that matrix using the internal sensors and link it to the intruder alert?
Host CO_Fowler says:
FCO: Ens. are you reading any communications?
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
SO: One possible problem is that the energy itself may be too low-key.  Let's hope it will stand out enough from our own energy signature.
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
*CO* Captain, as a supplement to the report you should have just gotten from me..  the basic design of the coding for the nanomachines appears to be Federation in origin..  I'll continue to investigate, but I'm not sure how much more I can discover.
Host CO_Fowler says:
*CEO*: Federation, hum?  Very good Brax.  Let me know what else you find
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
*CO* Aye ma'am.
SO_Ens_Semaj says:
CSO: I don't know of much else we can do at this point sir, I mean Ike.  It will take time to get used to calling you by such an informal way.

Host CO_Fowler says:
*CMO*: Bridge here, Dr.  Go ahead
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::grins::  SO: You know, I don't have to have a title.  You could just say, "ok."  Anyway, I'll program the sensors and alert Commander Knight.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO: Captain, this reminds me of the time we barely made it off of Fantoma Five...when that doomsday device detonated.....Do you remember that mission?
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
*CO* Captain, this may sound crazy... but the nanomachines we found in place of the Wanderlust crew are showing a definite Federation replication signature.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
CO: Which is strange, seeing how no subspace around this area.
Host CO_Fowler says:
FCO: Subspace?  You sure
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
::ok..  why were these nanomachines making us think they were the crew of the Wanderlust...::
Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: I do remember Thorne. ::small grin::
SO_Ens_Semaj says:
CSO: How hard was it for you to not call someone by their title when you came out of the academy?\
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::Nods:: CO: aye sir.  ::checks reading again to be absolutely certain.::  It's affirmative, captain.
Host CO_Fowler says:
*CMO*: Replication?  So that would indicate that our 'Guests' weren't real
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::steps out of the turbolift and on to the bridge::
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
*CO* Yes sir, more importantly they were made by us... it's very strange, but the readings don't lie.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
SO: Don't get me wrong, I still expect you to refer to superiors by their title, just not in my science department.
Host CO_Fowler says:
*CMO*: Did I hear you right, Dr.  Made by us?  Us, meaning the Federation or us...us?
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
XO: No signs of Cardassian weapons signatures sir, but I'm sure I'm on to something here
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::makes his way down to the command area and takes his seat:: CO: Captain.... ::looks at Thorne::
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
::finishes his poking around, saves his information in multiple backups, then locks down the lab and heads to the bridge::
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: What exactly are you on to, Commander?
SO_Ens_Semaj says:
CSO: Even that will be hard seeing as how the ingraining is so complete at the academy, but I will endeavor to do my best at it.
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Jyg, you might want to hear this.
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::looks at Nancy:: CO: Sounds ominous...
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
*CO* Yes Captain, that's what I've been saying. All replication readings line up within point zero-zero-four percent to Federation standard signatures.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::blinks at readings:: CO/XO: Sir, I just detected a ship warp signature on the otherside of the anomaly.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::nods::  SO: I'm heading to the bridge.  Perhaps you should assist Doctor Maylen or Lt. Brax.
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
::exits onto the bridge::  CO: Captain, have you had a chance to look over my report on the nanomachines yet?
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Dr. Maylen found out that the Wanderlust crew were replications
SO_Ens_Semaj says:
CSO: Very well. 
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
XO: Sir, remember our discussion of the detonation of the Cardassian doomsday device?  I did further looking back and as that built to detonation it began twisting space and subspace together until detonation, when there was nothing at all left......a void 50-meters in all directions  ::waits for the XO to have time to hear him::
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: So it's confirmed... ship?
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
FCO: Type?
Host CO_Fowler says:
CEO: Some of it, Lt.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
CO/XO: It's definitely federation signature.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::taps a button that sends the info for the sensor program to the CTO's console::
SO_Ens_Semaj says:
Computer: Locate Dr. Maylen.
Host CO_Fowler says:
CEO: Have you found anything else?
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
CO/XO: Actually sir/ma'am, that is only partially correct..  to elaborate, and you will find some of this in the report...
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: Right, what does that have to do with what is happening here?
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::runs a few more scans just in case he missed something::
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
CO/XO: The crew of the Wanderlust was actually the nanomachines..  They emitted the biosignatures that fooled both us and our sensors
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::taps console again::  CO/XO: I have managed to ID that ship.  It's the USS Malibu.  ::swivels around in her chair and looks at her superiors.::
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
CO/XO: Those nanomachines were, as the Doctor just confirmed for me, created by someone using Federation technology.
Host CO_Fowler says:
CEO: Dr. Maylen just informed us that they were Federation
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
XO: Sir, it's a long shot, but could these flows spiraling in to a singular point be the same sort of space/subspace twisting that weapon did?
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
:;notices data being fed into his console:: *CSO*: Thank you Ike
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Smiles a bit at saying the same thing as Brax:: CEO: Do we know who did the creating?
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: It certainly seems to be a correlation between it. But that weapon was Dominion made, so you think there are Dominion representatives out here?
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
*CSO*: Fa to Commander Ikari.
Host CO_Fowler says:
FCO: The Malibu.  XO: Jyg, your take on that ship there ::Indicates the screen::
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
CO: Aside from it being someone with a solid knowledge of Federation technology, no ma'am, and I doubt we will be able to find that out with what we have available to us at this time.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
*FCO*: Ikari here, how can I help you?
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
XO: No sir, what I'm wondering is if somehow the machines managed to get hold of one of the three that we lost that day at Fantoma Five and maybe went a little too far tweaking it?
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::looks at it:: CO: If the Wanderlust was a hoax, the likelihood is pretty high that this one is as well.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::turns back to face the front::  *CSO*: Sir, I was wondering if you have time to check up on a ship called the USS Malibu.  We have detected it on the otherside of another temporal anomaly.  Is it in Starfleet records?
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::gets up and makes his way to the bridge::
Host CO_Fowler says:
CEO: So, we could have done it in the future or someone else could have planted it there for us to find
SO_Ens_Semaj says:
<Computer>Semaj: Dr. Maylen is in sickbay
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::finishes with his scans and forwards all the data to the CO and XO, although it all says basically what he's all ready told them::
SO_Ens_Semaj says:
::Heads towards the sickbay::
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
CO: That would be correct ma'am, or as another possibility, those machines from the planet we were around recently would have been able to do it as well.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
*FCO*: I'll have the lab look it up for you.
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::looks grim:: CTO: Then it's imperative that we do something about it. If subspace gets disrupted in Federation space, we'd degenerate quickly. We can't allow that.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
*CSO*: Thank you, sir.
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
CO: All the necessary information would have been available in our core, or at least enough of it to achieve this..
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::holds the Sharikahr in the flowspace.::
Host CO_Fowler says:
CEO: Good work, Lt.  XO: I know it could be a hoax, but we can't let this chance slip by us if it means getting home
SO_Ens_Semaj says:
::Enters sickbay:: Dr.:  Dr. Maylen, Mr. Ikari sent me to see if I might assist you.
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: No Captain, I agree. Have we sent a probe? Perhaps we should commit one of them before we commit the ship.
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
::nods to the CO and walks over to the Engineering station on the bridge, bringing it online and idly wondering about an extra bar of latinum::
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Do it, Cmdr.
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::nods:: CO: Aye-Aye.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
::hears CO and XO and prepares a probe:: XO: Probe ready for launch sir
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::looks over at the entering SO, nods in an almost Vulcan fashion to him:: SO: The help is appreciated, I was just about to try and dissect one of the nanomachines, maybe learn a little more about it. Care to assist?
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: Launch the probe, Commander. Set it to emit continuously so there's no way to piggyback any signals.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
XO: Aye sir  ::makes the final adjustments and fires the probe:: XO: Probe away sir
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::arrives on the bridge::  XO: I've got some interesting information on the new anomaly.
SO_Ens_Semaj says:
::Nods in the affirmative:: CMO: Tell me what you need, Dr.
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: Thank you, Commander. Have it run a sweep within the nearest twenty-five kilometers.
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::gets up:: CSO: What is it?
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
XO: Aye sir, beginning now
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::waits patiently as results comes up on her screen.::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: Through the anomaly, subspace exists on a lower level than it normally would.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
XO/CO: Interesting.  The USS Malibu is not on record, but sensor testify that it is a Sovereign class ship.
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Probes dives into the convergence... and as it does, it disrupts on of the flows, causing the anomaly to dissipate
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Taps the control on the arm of her chair calling up the probe::
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
::begins creating an algorithm that will enable the ship sensors to detect any additional nanomachines::
Host CO_Fowler says:
::looks up:: FCO: Not on record?
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
SO: Please man the submicron scanner, I'll give you further instructions as we continue.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
::Self: Uh oh:: XO: Sir, we have a problem
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::Shakes head:: CO: No sir.  Just like the other ship.
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CSO: On a lower level? What's the... CTO: Problem?
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
CO: Another Nan probe created fantasy?
SO_Ens_Semaj says:
::Moves to the appropriate scanner and brings it online:: CMO: It is ready, sir.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
XO: Sir, the probe disrupted one of the flows and as it did the anomaly disappeared,
Host CO_Fowler says:
Self: hmmm, interesting
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: Are we still receiving?
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
XO: But I'm still getting telemetry....It's in real-space, Sector 002, Vulcan sector
Host CO_Fowler says:
FCO: Could be Ens.  But why tempt us like that
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
XO: Yes sir ::smiling::
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: All right, stay on top of that.
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Turns slightly to Thorne::
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CSO: Now, Commander, you were saying?
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
XO: The probe's LRS is picking up usual traffic around the Vulcan sector, and the Fed Comm-net!!
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: Try to think of subspace as a planar existence.  As layers.  Say space has 21 layers.  One through twenty is subspace, 21 is real space.  Well, through the anomaly, one through nineteen is subspace.  Twenty is real space and twenty-one is flowspace
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::shakes head:: CO: I do not know.
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::moves to the monitor and primary scanner:: SO: Adjust your scanning aperture to 100 angstroms, along X 49.2, Y 22.6
Host CO_Fowler says:
FCO: Ens. can you get any comm traffic from the probe?
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO: Ma'am I'm getting regular traffic around the sector
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::glances over to the CO and then the CO and then back to her console:: CO: Aye sir.  The usual com-traffics.  Which means, it's not a temporal anomaly.. it's probably a wormhole of some sort?
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CSO: This is on the other side of the anomaly?
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Looks at Thorne::  FCO/CTO: Anything unusual?
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
::completes the algorithm and stores it in the core for safe-keeping until the opportunity presents itself to show it to the CO and CSO::
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Anomaly has completely dissipated now..
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO: Only one thing......we can't tie into the Comm net because we don't have the current codes for it
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::checks readings:: CO: Confirm.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO: The anomaly has totally disappeared Captain
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::begins the scan, peering into the depth of the nanomachine:: SO: Adjust to 25 angstroms...
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
FCO: Thank you Ensign  ::smiles::
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CSO: That can't be right. It would either mean this phenomenon has taken place in Sector 002, or that isn't what it seems.
SO_Ens_Semaj says:
::Adjusts the scanning aperture as ordered:: CMO:: How is that
Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO/FCO: We don't have the current codes?  This is getting interesting
Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Noted, Cmdr
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO: Yes ma'am and I made sure they were updated before we left on this mission
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::shakes head:: CO: Perhaps....... ::thinks:: Perhaps it's another universe that uses different codes, and it's not compatible with our probe?!
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
::Looks over at Ensign Fa:: FCO: Do you still get readings Ensign?
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: I'm just telling you what I saw, sir.
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
::turns to listen more closely to the conversation going on::
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
SO: Good... good... going to 10 angstroms... there... signature is definately Federation... just... wait this isn't right...
Host CO_Fowler says:
FCO: That could very well be, Ens.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::nods:: CTO: I am sir.  This is puzzling.  Well, we can drop the theory about it being a wormhole..........  ::looks up at her console beeps again.::
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CSO: Well either Federation scientists have managed to miss a whole layer of space for the last two hundred years, or we are not in our own frame of reference.
SO_Ens_Semaj says:
CMO: What is it?
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
::gets another reading from the probe:: CO: Now this is interesting....I just got a Ferengi Cargo ship flying by the probe, with a Federation Replication signature
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
CTO: replication?
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Raises her eyebrows:: CTO: Are you sure?
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
SO: Can you confirm this, the reading is Federation... but far more advanced, more efficient than anything I've ever seen.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
FCO: I was just wondering that myself   CO: Yes ma'am
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
::Ferengi..  Federation replication..  hrm..::
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
CTO: Wait.. the machine world... didn't they replicated their ships and .. stuff like that using federation technologies?
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
FCO: Yes they did Ensign  CEO: Lt. can you shed any light on this?
SO_Ens_Semaj says:
::Examines the readings on his screen:: self: Most fascinating. CMO: The Federation wouldn’t have anything this advanced for several years from now.
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
::frowns realizing the profit margin on using replicated ships and realizing that he's missing out::
Host CO_Fowler says:
FCO/CTO/CEO: So are we looking at creations from the machine planet out there?
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
SO: I'm contacting the Captain, this could be very important. ::taps badge:: *CO* Sickbay to bridge.
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
CTO: I think Ensign Fa has a valid point..  the machines on the machine world did download our entire database..  technical, cultural..
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
CO: That's my theory, sir.  Although, I'm not sure about the anomalies though.. how were they created?
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO: Ma'am what if they decided to create their own version of the Federation......Is that what you're getting at Ensign?
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
CTO/CO: They would have been able to replicate those nanomachines..  and that Ferengi ship we just saw on sensors for that matter..
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: I would go with the latter, sir.
Host CO_Fowler says:
*CMO*: Go ahead, Sickbay
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
CTO: Perhaps!!  They want to create a federation universe at a different level of subspace?
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CEO: That certainly wouldn't have been a problem
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::listens in on the CMO.. it's not really eavesdropping... it's hunting for clues.::
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
*CO* Captain, more news on those nanomachines. No doubt that they are Federation in origin, also that they are more advanced than anything we can produce ourselves at this time.
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CSO: Then we have to move on that premis, Commander. Consider everything we get now colored by that premis. Carry on.
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
::overhearing as well, being a Ferengi and all::  CO:  Captain, that would back up our theory that the machines on the machine planet were involved in this..
Host CO_Fowler says:
*CMO*: Understood, Dr.  Now we are getting somewhere
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::overhears the FCO::  XO: Did you pick that up, sir?
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::eyes brighten:: CTO/CSO/XO: The machine home world also reproduced our technology.. and then advanced them in a relatively short period of time.
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
CO: They achieved an understanding of our current tech levels in scant hours..  they could easily have gone far beyond us
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: 3 million kilometers to port, another Blue Light Special appears
Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO/FCO/CEO: You heard the Dr.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
CO: Another blue light, 3 million KM from port.
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CSO: Yes I did. Do you think she could be right?
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO/FCO/CEO: Could that have been what Emissary meant when it said that we would continue to serve them with ideas?
Host CO_Fowler says:
FCO: Move towards it, Ens.  Let's see what this one leads us to
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: It's entirely possible.  I'd definitely like to know a motive.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
CO: Aye sir.  Changing headings.... to the blue light!  ::shifts the Sharikahr to head towards the light.::
Host CO_Fowler says:
FCO/CTO/CEO: It does make sense now
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CSO: Well that's the least of our motives for now, Commander. Take your station and start making adjustments.
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::heads back down to his chair::
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
CTO: Hum... yeah...  but why another subspace?  The flowspace?
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: Yes sir.  ::heads to SCI I::
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
CO: Captain, I'd say it's a given conclusion that our probe is witnessing an alternative version of the Federation and that it was replicated by the machines from the machine planet..  What I don't know yet is why.
Host CO_Fowler says:
CEO: We are getting somewhere, at least, Lt.
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
SO: Well... I think we've done what we can here, did you pick up anything else?
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
FCO: That's what the doomsday device on Fantoma Five did.....took subspace and space and twisted them together to create flowspace
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
CEO: And we need to return this flowspace back into normal space.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
FCO: I think ::his head hurts::
SO_Ens_Semaj says:
CMO: No, but what we are seeing is definately enough, wouldn’t you say?
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
CTO: What was the counter action to that?  Can we return normal space to this layer?
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
::ponders the situation::
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Captain, information seems to be snowballing here. Based on the working theory, these anomalies cannot be random. I think with the next one, we need to find some way to establish communication.
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: I agree, Jyg.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
FCO: We barely escaped with our lives Ensign and we were assigned a new patrol route right after that
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
SO: Yes I would... ::shuts down the scanner, saving all his data::
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::looks at Brax: CEO: Lieutenant...
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::dryly:: CTO: But sir... if this layer of space is affected, then it's affected through out this galaxy... what of the people at home who has no idea what's going on?
Host CO_Fowler says:
FCO/CTO: Are you getting information from this blue light
SO_Ens_Semaj says:
CMO: Now, I am having a headache that I cannot eliminate, could you check it out?
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
XO: Sir?
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
FCO: I wish I knew Ensign ::smiling grimly::
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO: Checking now Ma'am
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
CO: The anomaly is at a convergence of another ten strands ma'am.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
CO: We're still on course, sir, at impulse since we can't go to warp.
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::stands:: SO: Of course, is it related to... your condition?
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CEO: You studied the nanobots, correct? Based on what you know they must have had some sort of communication between each other. Can we extrapolate, based on that level of technology, what kind of communication system the machines might be using and if we can duplicate it?
Host CO_Fowler says:
FCO: Maintain.
Host CO_Fowler says:
CSO: Ten strands, Ike?  how many were linked to the last two lights
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::nods:: CO: Yes, sir.

CO: Ten.
SO_Ens_Semaj says:
CMO: I am not sure, it could be.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO: Ma'am it would appear that it leads to an even further future Federation if we follow the logical sequence  ::sounding like a Vulcan::
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
XO: It's possible sir..  One moment
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
::turns to his console, pulls up his information on the nanomachines and begins searching the code for communication protocols::
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CEO: Let me know when you have an idea.
Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: That would be logical, Cmdr
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::nods:: SO: Let's get you over to the biobed and check
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
XO: Aye..  ::thrown over his shoulder trying to avoid breaking his concentration::
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
::Can't help himself and laughs:: CO: Yes ma'am....this crew is rubbing off on me
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
CTO: You mean, a more advanced alternate federation.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
FCO: Correct Ensign
SO_Ens_Semaj says:
::Goes to the biobed with the dr.::
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::stands beside his chair, soaking in the heat of concentration from everyone on the bridge::
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
SO: Lay down, this will take a little
SO_Ens_Semaj says:
CMO: When I was looking at those scans I noticed only one of the nanobots was burned out, did you notice it?
SO_Ens_Semaj says:
::Lays down::
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO/XO/FCO/CEO: So what we need is a way to cut through the layers until we reach the proper layer....like cutting through an apple peel
Host CO_Fowler says:
All: Then we have to peel the layers until we find the right one
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO: See ma'am an easy mission at last ::smiling::
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
SO: I was only concentrating on a single bot... ::runs scans:: What did the burned out one show?
Host CO_Fowler says:
::laughs and feels better:: CTO: Very easy, Thorne
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO: Piece of cake ma'am ::winks::
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Smiles back at him::
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
CO/CTO: Perfect.  No one happened to bring a space peeler with them from home, did they?
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::looks at Nan:: CO: We might not have many chances left, if there is a connection between what we see here, and what happened at Fantoma.
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: True, Jyg.
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
::starts multitasking and running simulations::
Host CO_Fowler says:
FCO: Lost mine, Ens. ::Grins::
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO/XO: Could that detonation be what will cut us through to the correct layer though  ::shudders at that thought::
Host CO_Fowler says:
All: At least we have an idea on how to solve this.  So let's solve it
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
CO: I'm working on a theory ma’am..  very vague right now, but I'm working on firming it up
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: It could.. but when exactly would be the right time I wonder.
Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: It's possible, Thorne.  CEO: Good, Lt.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
CTO: We'll have to calibrate it until it reaches to the space we want.  Otherwise, we might damage subspace.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
FCO: We'll have to be very careful to hit it at exactly the right moment
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
ALL: Perhaps if we figure out how we got into flowspace?
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
ALL: Or do you think it's possible to travel into the anomaly?   Or is that a very stupid idea on my part?
Host CO_Fowler says:
FCO: The probe made it through
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
FCO: The probe seemed to be unharmed, but then the space on the other side had evidence of flowspace. Where we want to go, shouldn't have any.
SO_Ens_Semaj says:
CMO: It looked like the nanobot was burned out by an outside source, that the surge went outside, in. Very interesting I thought.
Host CO_Fowler says:
FCO: So it is possible we could make it also
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO: If the probe disrupted the flow.....what would the Shari herself do?
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
FCO: I don't think our situation would improve much by going through the anomaly.
Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: I don't know, Thorne.  ::shakes her head::
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
::wants to bash his console to pieces..  having the feeling he's so close, yet so very far away::
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
All: Ok, let me throw this out for discussion..
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
CSO: Well, we actually want to make the current space back into normal space, right?
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::looks over at the CEO, waiting expectantly::
Host CO_Fowler says:
CEO: Go ahead Lt.
XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::glances back at Brax:: CEO: Lieutenant?
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
::looks at Lt. Brax::
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::finds the problem:: SO: Seems your nanobots are repairing the primary paracortex, no wonder you have a headache... it should go away in an hour or so
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
All: Consider that the machine planet began building the federation..  starting with the cultural database
