XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
All:  Department heads report.

CTOLtjg_Llynisika says:
::Exits the TL as the doors open, revealing the bridge::

FCO_Ens_Fa says:
XO: We're 4.23 minutes out from the rendezvous point sir.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
Self: Going to have to get use to the LRS only reaching out 8 light years.

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: Just waiting to find that transmission source.

FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::figures she might as well get precise as she's talking to a Vulcan Vulcan::

FCO_Ens_Fa says:

CSO: Keep me updated on your progress Commander.

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: Will do.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*Bridge* Systems check completed; all within norms.

XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
*CEO* Understood.

FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::finished slaving the OPS system with her own so she can monitor them both at once.::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Gets his CPO's attention and waves him over::

CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::finally finishes his department schedule and makes sure it gets sent out to the staff::

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: I think we found that data burst.  I'm detecting some residual subspace energy.

FCO_Ens_Fa says:
CO: We're 2 minutes from the rendezvous coordinates.  We're dropping out of warp, and going into impulse.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
CPO Urk: Why didn't we get these items on resupply?

CTOLtjg_Llynisika says:
::Runs standard sensor sweeps::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::CPO looks over the PADD::

SO_Ltjg_Semaj says:

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: Looking for the strongest concentration...

FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::finger flies along her console as they drop out of warp::

XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
*CMO* Report.

CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::looks up:: *XO* Maylen here. Sickbay is ready to handle what ever might be required of us, sir.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::nods:: FCO: Thank you. Begin a general search pattern, five pointed.

SO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
All: It appears to be a Star Fleet runabout but there are certain inconsistencies.

XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
*CMO* Acknowledged.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
<CPO Urk>CEO: Uh, sir... they aren't a normal part of the resupply and they told me it would be backordered.

SO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
CSO: You better see this, sir.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::looks up at the mention of a runabout::

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: Looks like it came from the Pau system, or near it.

FCO_Ens_Fa says:
CO: Should we go to all stop when we reach the coordinates?  ::taps her console to being the search patter::

CTOLtjg_Llynisika says:
::Hears the SO and checks the readings on her board::

XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CO: Sir all departments report all systems running normal sir.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Jumps down from his chair, his nose coming up to the CPO's chest::

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
SO: What is it, Semaj?

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
XO: Very good, Commander. Coordinate the search and signal Command that we've arrived.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
Urk: That... is unacceptable.  You will personally follow up on those items.

XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Nods:: CO: Aye sir.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::The CPO nods, waits then turns and walks off::

SO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
CSO: It doesn’t fully match a runabout signature and yet it reads close enough that it almost fooled me at first.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
FCO: Don't stop. We'll keep mapping the area until we're sure we've caught everything.

FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::clamps her mouth shut as she feels an "okie dokey" slipping out::  CO: Aye.

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
SO: Record the signature.  Single out any discrepancies.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Fuming and pouting Soree glances down at the main console, realizes the ship is at impulse and leaves main engineering::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
:;shifts in the chair again, trying to keep his finger out of every pie like had to have them before::

XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
FCO: Contact Command and notify them that we have arrived at Helax.

FCO_Ens_Fa says:
XO: Aye.   ::taps the OPS side of her console and sends Command the notification::  Done.

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: Seems that the transmission was received by something.  Don't know what, just yet.  Definitely not Starfleet.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::takes turbolift to deck 2::

XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CSO:  Understood.  Continue working on pinpointing the source of the transmission.

SO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
CSO: Aye sir, mapping and separating the discrepancies in the signature.  Sir, the Harmonics don’t match any known Starfleet runabouts.  Running this through the library computer for any matches at all.

XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Nods to the FCO.::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Exits the turbolift and heads for main weapons control room::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::glances down at the incoming data on the small console in his chair arm:: XO: Have we identified the source of this transmission yet?

XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CO:  Sir, no we haven't identified the source of the transmission yet but I have the CSO working on that as we speak.

SO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
Self: interesting.  CSO: I have a match sir.  It appears to be a Thorn Class runabout, but all other info is classified Captains Eyes Only.

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
CO: Captain, Semaj needs your eyes.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Nods to the techs, moves to a console and brings up the targeting program for an in depth check::

SO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
::Looks up at the CSO then to the CO::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::looks up at the odd request:: CSO: What?

CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::tries to keep himself busy as he waits for the possibility that his services might be needed::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Sees some areas that could be "tweaked" and puts that on his "to-do" list::

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
CO: Research is being blocked by classified information.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Closes the program, exits the room for the turbolift::

SO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
::Awaits further orders::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
TL: Bridge.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::gets up:: CSO: I see.... I'll evaluate it and see what we have.

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: Can't find the source, not sure if I'll be able to.

XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CSO:  Understood.  Do your best Commander.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
XO: You have the bridge for now. ::walks down to Nancy... his ready room::

XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CO: Acknowledged.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Exits the turbolift, looks around the bridge and moves to his console::

SO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
::Puts the readings through to the ready room::

CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::looks up as someone enters sickbay, an ensign from Engineering who burned himself on a power conduit::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::steps into his office and taps his badge:: *CSO* Transmit the data to my console.

SO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
*CO* Done sir.

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: If we could get closer to the Pau System, it would be easier.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::checks the data received so far by linking his console to the others and catching up::

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: It's another 30 light years to the system.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::stands in front and taps the button:: Computer: Open file, authorization Ahkileez-Alpha-0-1.

FCO_Ens_Fa says:
XO: Nothing on my sensors, sir.

CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::treats the burns on the Ensign easily and sends him back to duty with a warning about being more careful next time::

SO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
::Continues scans and tracks these unusual readings::

XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
FCO: Acknowledged.

FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::slowly maneuvers the Sharikahr around their area in a search pattern::

SO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
::Forwards trajectory of the vessel to tactical for possible use::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
:;sits on the edge of the desk and reads the file, then closes it::: Self: That doesn't track...

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::turns to face the bridge, watching the others and listening::

CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::moves into his office and looks to his records, then frowns and taps his console:: *CEO* Maylen to Soree.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*CMO* Soree here doctor.

SO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
CSO: I have triangulated their warp trail, but it terminates after 205,000 Km, sir.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::gets up and heads back out onto the bridge::

SO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
CSO: This is most unusual.

XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CSO/FCO:  What would be our ETA to the Pau System at maximum warp?

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
SO: Where was it heading?

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::heads toward the center chair again, overhearing:: XO: Pau System?

FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::calculates::  XO: Approximately 5.013 days.

FCO_Ens_Fa says:
XO: However, travel there has been restricted for sometime now.

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
CEO: Lieutenant, see if you can't recognize this subspace distortion pattern.  ::taps a few buttons to send the info to the CEO's console::

CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
*CEO* Lt, Iwas just visited by an Ensign... :;looks at the name again:: Carson, from your department. He had suffered a minor burn to his hand. I only mention this because, by my records, this is the third time Ensign Carson has visited sickbay for a minor injury suffered while on duty in the past month.

SO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
CSO: It was heading towards the Northern border of the Federation.

XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Stands upon seeing the Captain.:: CO: Sir yes sir the CSO has recommended that if we could get closer to the Pau System we could trace the transmission better.  But the Pau system is about 30 light years out from our current location.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*CMO* I see.  Thank you doctor, I will have a talk with him and keep you informed.

FCO_Ens_Fa says:
XO: Should we plot a course?

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
XO: It's also restricted from travel as far as I remember.

CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
*CEO* Thank you Lt, I'd hate to see this become something more serious.

XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CO: Understood.  Recommendations sir.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Turning back to his console his eyebrow raises at the data::

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
SO: Where did the trail start?  Did they drop out of warp, or did the trail abruptly end?

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: That signal was generated by a class J Comm Array.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::narrows his eyes, considering:: XO/CSO: In your opinion, is there anything else we can learn here?

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::checks his data bank::

FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::looks back a bit and see what the CO/XO/CSO are up to and awaiting for her next order::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: That's standard issue for Sabre and Steamrunner class ships.

XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CEO/CSO: Do we know of any Sabre or Steamrunner ships that were in this area recently?

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
CO: Still finding some data on that runabout, sir.

SO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
CSO: The trail just terminates, no debris and no wreckage.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Shrugs and looks at the CSO::

FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::over hears::  SO: Sounds like they just vanished into thin air...

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
Self: Heh... ::points at his console:: Data on that system is classified ma'am.

XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CO: Sir the CEO reports that the signal was generated by a Class J Comm Array which seems to be standard issue for Sabre and Steamrunner class ships.

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: That is classified data, ma'am.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::stands quietly:: Self: Classified again...

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
Self: Odd, I don't remember any thing like that in the last engineering briefing they sent.

XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CSO/CEO: Acknowledged.  Are you picking up any Sabre or Steamrunner ships in the area on sensors?

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
FCO: Plot a course for the Pau system but continue the search pattern for now.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: Will reconfigure my console now.. wait one.

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
SO: Any theories?

FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::nods:: CO: Okay.  Er.. I meant.. aye sir.   ::sighs and turns swivel around in her chair again::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Punches some buttons on console with his nails::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::again wishes the LRS could reach farther than 8 light years::

FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::taps the console towards the Pau System in a search pattern::  CO/XO: With the search pattern, it'll take us a little longer than the original estimate of 5 days to get to that system.  ::taps:: More like 7 days or so.

SO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
CSO: It’s a long shot, but what if we were to follow the signature back to the source, we might find a clue there.

SO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
CSO: Otherwise, I don’t have enough data to make any guesses.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: Nothing on SRS... will be a bit on LRS.

XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Hears the FCO's report.::

XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CEO: Acknowledged keep checking Lt. and let me know of your findings.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::turns away from the small council by Ikari's console and sits down in the center chair again::

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
SO: 205,000 km isn't too far, in perspective.  We should be able to get any details from where we are.

SO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
CSO: I apologize for not having anything better.

SO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
::Looks briefly to the CO remembering his private order::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::relaxes into the chair, drumming his fingers again::

CTOLtjg_Llynisika says:
CO: Captain, Pau is currently restricted.  Is it wise to head that way?  ::Tilts her head slightly at the end of her question::

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
SO: We'd all be apologizing a lot if we had to do it every time we were stumped.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
CTO: You're right, it's probably not wise. But for now it's just a consideration until we complete our information gathering here.

SO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
CSO: It’s just that there is something more in the proverbial mix right now.

CTOLtjg_Llynisika says:
CO: Noted, Sir.  ::returns her attention to the board, her small antenna moving slightly::

SO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
::Continuing to scan and occasionally glance towards the CO::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
XO: Speaking of... How much longer, Commander?

FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::makes a minor course correction and continues with the search pattern beta-183 while setting course towards the Pau System at cruising velocity of Warp 6.1.::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Looks over at the SO::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
SO: Nothing here... you?

SO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
CEO: No sir, nothing here.

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: I think we've gotten most of what we can get here.

CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::decides to head to the bridge, and exits sickbay::

XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CSO: Understood.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Nods at SO and looks again at his console::

XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CO: The CSO reports that they have as much information as possible from this area Sir.

CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::enters a TL and specifies the bridge::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::nods:: XO: Thank you. And I understand there was a secondary trail, is that correct?

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: We seem alone here... can push the sensors to 8 light years but the imagining isn't as good at that distance.

XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CEO: Acknowledged.

SO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
::Rubs his new pips absentmindedly and then.......:: CSO: I have something sir.

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
SO: Let's hear it.

SO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
CSO: I have chronotron particles, which suggests a cloak of some kind.

CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::the TL arrives and he exits to the bridge::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Thinks on what he just reported as the LRS pallet layout comes to mind::

SO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
CSO: Attempting to localize them now.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Ears perk at SO's comment:: Self: Didn't think of that.

CTOLtjg_Llynisika says:
::Looks up when the TL arrives and nods at the Dr.::

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
SO: Try to identify the technology.

XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CO: We have only picked up the original trail that leads us back to the Pau system and the J Comm array that the CEO has picked up.

CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::returns the nod to the new CTO and listens to the goings on::

SO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
CSO: Trying sir, but it is difficult when I can't even localize it.

SO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
::Fingers fly over the console::

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
SO: Use all available resources.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
XO: All right. Have Ikari package his data and relay this information to Command and await instructions.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Adjusts his console to analyze the J Comm array signal::

XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CO: Aye sir.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO/CSO: Running an analysis on that comm signal.

XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CEO: Understood.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Frowns at the limited data available::

XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CSO: Commander please compile the data you have collected and relay the information to SF Command and await further instructions.

SO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
::Works to gain the information, even tying in the deflector array into the sensors for more sensitivity::

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: Very well.  Round trip on the data should be about six minutes.

XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CSO: Acknowledged.

XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CO: The data transfer to SF Command should take about six minutes sir.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
CSO: Only getting the regular waves with some spikes and pauses.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::nods at T'Shara but says nothing::

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
CEO: Look for patterns in those spikes and pauses.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Nods in agreement:: CSO: Aye sir.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::frowns a bit:: CTO: Are there any ships on sensors, even at extreme range?

CTOLtjg_Llynisika says:
CO: Nothing, Sir.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::purses lips in concentration::

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
SO: How are we coming along, Semaj?

SO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
CSO: All I can determine is that the chronotons are approximately 5 km after the warp trail ends.  That is unusual in itself.

XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CEO: How is that analysis coming Lt?

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: No patterns to the spikes... yet.

FCO_Ens_Fa says:
XO/CO: We have comm from head quarters, sir.

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
SO: Think they could have cloaked while in warp?

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::begins to round up all the data in a nice little package::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::sits up a little straighter:: FCO: On screen if that's available, Ensign.

XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::hears the FCO.::

FCO_Ens_Fa says:
CO: Audio only.

FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::puts it through::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::smiles a bit:: FCO: That will have to do. ::listens::

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
<SFHQ> COMM Sharikahr:  Thank you Captain Ahkileez, the data you provided has been confirmed?

SO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
CSO: That would seem to be the implication sir, especially for the chronotons to be so close to the end of the trail.

XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Waits and listens.::

CTOLtjg_Llynisika says:
::Her antenna quiver as she listens::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: Nothing on that signal ma'am.  Appears to be just normal comm from a Federation vessel.

XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CEO: Understood Lt.

FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::nods:: CO: Understood.
