<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::at her station on the bridge::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Heading down to sickbay::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Races from the deck 7 corridor to situation display in Main Engineering::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::attempts to get some reports incoming::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::already on his feet:: All: I want this ship running! Start changing us over to Auxiliaries!

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::glances over at the SO: Do we have a position yet?

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::under her console trying to  rewire the burnt-out communication system::

SO_Petersen says:
::standing at the primary science station, looking through a stack of PADDs::  CO:  No sir, sorry sir.  I'm working on it.

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
::Crawls back into her chair.::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Brings up status of fusion reactors::

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
XO: How can I help?

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*CO*: Fusion reactors off line

CTO_Lt_Jg_Llynisika says:
::Was in the TL heading to the bridge when it stopped and the lights went out::

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
*CEO*:  Lt. Soree, what just happened?

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
CNS: Get some reports to me... I can't get any straight answers in this chaos.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*CO*: Total shut down of matter/ anti-matter reactor.

CTO_Lt_Jg_Llynisika says:
::Slips her fingers into the crack and starts to pull the door open::  Outloud: Ugh

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::nods::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::knows he should never have gotten out of bed this morning:: *CEO*: Well get them back online, Lieutenant! Bring all the battery stations online. ::looks forward:: OPS: Start routing whatever power we do have to the essential systems.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Making it down three decks, she pauses to catch her breath::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*CO* We’re on battery backup... suggest all systems except life support be shut down.

CTO_Lt_Jg_Llynisika says:
::The door slowly opens and she sees the floor of the bridge at the top of the door::  All: Everyone okay up here?

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
*CEO*: Sir, I can't find anything wrong with the CONN console.  I've run several diagnostics on it.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::crawls out from under the console and spits the small flashlight she was holding in her teeth out as she sits down:: CO: Aye sir....already on it.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*CIV*: As am I cadet. ::snorts::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Continues down rungs, one deck at a time.::

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::starts with Engineering and  requests a report from the various sub-departments::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::still moving around the bridge, looking at everything himself:: *CEO*: We need our radiation shields up at least. With our internal sensors out, I don't want to have people growing a third or fourth arm before we figure out what's happening.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Fingers race over his display panel::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*CEO*: Then suggest cutting life support to unused areas.

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
*CEO*: Sir, I know I'm just a cadet, but I've had several courses regarding Flight navigation and diagnostics, but never ever was taught about this type of situation, I need you to tell me what you need done from here.

CTO_Lt_Jg_Llynisika says:
::Hearing voices, but no answer, she jumps slightly and grabs the floor.  Then slowly squirms out::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*CO*: Note... those shields will cut time from the batteries.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*CIV*: When I know you'll know.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
CO: Sir, permission to reroute non-essential personnel into their emergency stations...that way I can shut down some areas of the ship.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::notices the blue fingertips at the rear of the bridge:: CTO: Llynisika? ::rushes back to help:: XO: Ike, get someone to a window. Find out where the hell we are.

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
*CEO*: Understood.

CTO_Lt_Jg_Llynisika says:
::Grunts then looks up as she hears her name:: CO: Captain?  ::Is half way out::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::nods back at Mia:: OPS: Do it, tell everyone that doesn't need to be out to stay in their quarters till further notice.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::hurries over to the cadet:: CIV: It's best to leave the Chief alone at a time like this.  ::looks back to the Captain:: CO: Yes sir.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Making it to deck 8 she sighs in relief, not bothering to berate herself, knowing why it took so much out of her.::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Sends one crew to check the M/AM and two to the fusion generators::

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
::Sits at the CONN Console, attempting to retrieve the navigation logs.::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::crouches down and hooks his hands under Llynsika's armpits, hauling her easily out of the shaft:: CTO: Are you all right?

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::jogs to the RR door, opens it manually and enters to look out a window::

CTO_Lt_Jg_Llynisika says:
::Stands and brushes herself off, then looks around the bridge::  CO: I'm fine, sir.  ::Looks him in the eye:: CO: Sir, what the hell happened?

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::After catching her breath, she pushes off from the wall and heads for SB, passing various people on her way, everyone trying to find answers.::

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::starts receiving the various reports from Engineering and starts organizing.  Once she gets some order to all the reports sends them on to the XO and other departments as needed::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::starts to get irritated at all the non-essential comm traffic of people asking what happened and sends out a blanket statement telling all non-essential people to go to emergency stations and to only use the system for emergencies.  Breathes a sigh of relief at the sudden quietness and starts to re route power::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::turns and guides her by the shoulder toward her station:: CTO: We're trying to find that out right now. Check your station, you'll see my orders. I need you to get on it right away.

CTO_Lt_Jg_Llynisika says:
CO: Aye sir, ::moves to her station::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Entering sickbay, sees she already has a few guests.::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*CO*: Suggest restricting use of the computer... probably best to cut tactical and most science sensors.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*CO*: Let Navigation and limited SRS sensors stay on.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
*CEO*: Sir...I've shut down most of the non-essential areas of the ship.  That should have given you a few extra ounces of power.

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
::Walks over to the XO.:: XO: Sir,  This may sound a bit on the far fetched side, but...

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Walks over to the biobed::  Gold: How are things going?

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::walking back down to the main command floor, hand sliding over the cool metal rails:: *CEO*: Agreed. Take the Dorsal and Ventral Sensor Paks offline for now, but get the power up as soon as possible. I don't want to be blind and deaf out here for long.

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
XO: .......Is it possible that this system failure is due to a computer virus planted by the "Captain Harrison"?

CMO_Ahkileez says:
<Gold> CMO:  So far, nothing serious.  I have taken care of a few bruises, and sent them on their way.  What is going on up above?

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::holds up a hand to the cadet:: CIV: One moment cadet, and shouldn't you be back on the bridge?  ::yells past her to the Captain:: CO: Sir, we appear to be on the edge of a system...

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*XO*: I'm not getting response to the main computer... something fried there... have to reroute the system and reboot.

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
:::sends a request to the operational department for reports::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::turns toward his office door, and Ike's shouting voice:: Self: He knows better than that.. ::quick walks over to the doorway:: XO: Any idea what system?

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Shakes head::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Smiling at the little girl with her finger being wrapped extra well.::  Gold:  Good question.  Other then everything being off line and we are no where close to where we are supposed to be, your guess is as good as mine about now.

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
XO: Goes back to her station, passing the Captain.  CO: Sir,

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::starts to check out the computer core to see the damage:: *CEO*: We're going to have to hard boot it back up, Lt.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::nods at Amber:: CIV: Resume your station, Cadet.

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
CO: Yes sir.

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::filters through the reports::

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
::Sits back in the CONN chair, feeling quite useless.::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::doesn't turn from the window:: CO: I'm seeing a few planets, I think.  Hard to tell from this distance.

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
Self: I should be doing something, I just don't know what.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*OPS*: Have someone physically check the relays first.. might just trip another junction.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Watches as nurse Gold hands the child over to her mother::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::turns around:: OPS: Do we have any external communications? Can we send out a hailing signal?

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
*CEO*: Aye sir, I'll get my people on it   If we do a hard boot....it means that everything has to be shut down...even life support until the system comes back on line.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*OPS*: I know.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
CO: Nothing is working right now, sir.

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: It slowly begins to dawn on the Executive Officer, that he knows where they are.

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
::Wonders why they don't use a shuttles sensors to scan area.::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*OPS*: With the computer down I can't even do a diagnostic.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::looks around the ready room and walks to the CO::  CO: I can't be for certain without some magnification, but I'd say we're on the fringes of the Sol System, sir.

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
::Or why not just send the distress signal through the shuttle's systems.::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::frowns:: CIV: See if you can make it down to the Shuttle bay, Deck 5. See if any of the shuttles are.. :;turns as Shinji talks::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*OPS*: Did anyone note an EM pulse before this happened?

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::As she guides the mother and child out, a crewman enters with another.::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
XO: We're where? ::moves farther into his office toward the window and looks:: Why haven't they sent someone out, or tried to hail us?

CMO_Ahkileez says:
<Ens Pam> CMO:  My friend here is having trouble breathing.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
Pam:  What happened?  ::Helps the two of them to the nearest biotable.::

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
::Perks up as the CO speaks to her.::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::points to two bright lights:: CO: I'd guess that that one's Jupiter and ::moves his finger slightly:: that one's Saturn.  As to where help is, your guess is as good as mine, sir.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
*CEO*: No there wasn't.

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::sends a few reports from operations to engineering and some onto medical and all of them in an organized manner to the XO::

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
CO: Sir, and activate a COMM From there?

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*OPS*: Any unusually wave activity at all?

CMO_Ahkileez says:
<Ens Pam> CMO:  When the ship came to a stop, she hit one of the bars in engineering.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::frowns:: XO: At least we know where we are. Now let's take care of this ship. ::moves back out of his office on to the bridge::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
CIV: As I was saying, head down to the shuttle bay and see if we can get any of the shuttles online. If we can, we'll use their comm system to see if we can hail or at least send a distress signal.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Nods::  Pam:  Well, lets take a look at...

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
CO: Yes Sir!  ::Scrambles to the TL,  finally with something to really do.::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::follows closely behind the CO to his own chair where some reports are waiting::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
<Ens Pam> CMO:  Judy... ::The two help the engineer onto the table.::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
Joat: Supervise the fusion repairs.  Get them up soonest.

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
::Realizes the TL Isn't working, walks out and enters a Jefferies tube and starts the slow descent to the shuttle bay.::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
<Joat>CEO: Aye sir.. ::races to that repair team::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
*CEO*: No sir...nothing.  I started to hail Earth and then bam...the M/AM went nuts and we were exceeding Warp 10.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Frowns at the OPS' suggestion of going warp 10:: *OPS*: Riiiight.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::After helping Judy to lie down, she touches her along her right rib.  As the woman reacts, she nods and goes for her medical scanner for verification.::

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
::Finally arrives in the shuttle bay and opens the door to the most advanced shuttle on board.::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::walks to his own chair and sits, trying to maintain a look of confidence as he reaches for the blue comm button on his chair arm, stabs it, sees nothing, and taps his badge instead:: *CMO*: Bridge to Sickbay. Do you have a report for me, Doctor?

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::quickly skims the reports that have been organized and sent, turns to the counselor:: CNS: Thank you, Counselor.

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::smiles and nods back thankful that she could be useful::

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
::Enters the initialization process.::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Looks up::  *CO*:  Nothing major.  We have had a few bumps and bruises and a cracked rib here.  Otherwise, we are fairly light here, considering.  Have you discovered what is going on?

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::sees a small light blink on her console and then hears a beep:: CO: Sir, part of the core is reinitializing.  We might be able to get some of the main systems up as soon as they boot up.

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
*CO*:  I'm in a shuttle and initializing it.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::is relieved to hear her voice is all right:: *CMO*: Not as yet, Doctor. But we'll keep you informed. Do the same for us. Bridge out.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Gives Judy a shot of asinolyathin to ease her pain.::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::nods at Mia:: OPS: Good. Keep Commander Ikari apprised of your efforts. He'll be able to give you the priority list when we get control back.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::taps his badge again:: *CIV*: Is communications working, Cadet Haynes?

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::There were times she wished she were closer to what was going happening on the bridge.::  Judy, that should help you breathe a bit.

CTO_Lt_Jg_Llynisika says:
::Still working at her console::

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
*CO*:  I'll attempt to send out a hail on all frequencies sir.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
*CIV* Acknowledged, Miss Haynes. Report back when you have something.

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
*CO*: Aye sir.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Sees a tech jogging toward him::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::looks forward to Tactical-I:: CTO: How are we doing, Lieutenant?

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
<Tech>CEO: Sir...the dilithium crystals cracked. ::pants::

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
::Attempts to send a Hail out, but the computer tells her the array is powered down.::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Finding a portable bioregenerator, she places it over the broken rib.::  Gold:  Take over here.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::watches more lights come up on her console:: XO: Sir, we have ship wide communications.  No external yet.  Internal sensors are on-line.  Working on powering up external sensors.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
<Gold> CMO:  Yes ma'am ::Takes the instrument and slowly moves it along the rib.::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Frowns:: Tech: Then get the replacements and change them out.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::walks over to the OPS console::  OPS: We need long rage communications first, then sensors.

CTO_Lt_Jg_Llynisika says:
CO: Sir, ::turns slightly to look at him:: I haven't been able to find anything

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
*CO*: Sir, It didn't work.   What if we send a message out in an empty torpedo casing with a beacon attached?  It would be sort of like a message in a bottle.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Once Gold takes over, she takes Pam by the arm::  Ens Pam:  Sooo... how are you feeling?  You look a bit under the weather.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
XO: Aye sir... I'll try to get them in that order but the computer was pretty fried.  I'm getting random system start-ups.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
<Tech>CEO: Lost have the isotope too sir. ::Flinches from the stare the CEO gives him::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
<Ens Pam> I am fine ma'am.  I just feel a bit dizzy.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::isn't exactly surprised:: CTO: Commander Ikari thinks we're just outside Sol System. Start working on some reasons why they would not have contacted us, or we wouldn't be receiving them. We'll need to account for them.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::nods:: OPS: Understood, do what you can.

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
*CO*: It would be a manual launch, and would take no power except physical labor sir.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
TECH: WHAT!!! ::slams fist on display::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Nodding helps the ensign over to a table and up on it.::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Shakes head:: Tech: Pull your team and go help with the fusion reactors.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*XO*: We're in a bind sir.

CTO_Lt_Jg_Llynisika says:
::nods:: CO: Aye, sir ::turns back to her board and begins to tap in commands, growling when the answer doesn't come quickly::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
*CIV* Denied, Cadet. We'd have to open the bay doors to do that, and with our power like it is, we couldn't risk the atmospheric shield going down. Report back to the bridge. We'll work on the idea from up here until it's safer. But good work.

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::gets a report from the daycare that a little child somehow got separated from a field trip group.  Sends a request to all departments for help and within a matter of minutes is able to locate the child and arrange for someone to take her back to the daycare room::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
Pam:  Let me take a look...

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
*CEO*: Ah, expand on that please, Lieutenant.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*XO: Cracked crystals, which we could replace but we also lost half the radioactive isotopes... and we don't keep that aboard.

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
*CO*: Yes sir.  ::Slightly disheartened.::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*XO*: Best I can do is try to get the fusion reactors on line.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::After a scan, she smiles::  Pam:  Well, it looks like you will be having kittens.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::watches a big green light flash up on her console:: CO/XO: I have external communications.  ::starts sending out hails on all frequencies::

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
::Secures the shuttle before climbing back into the Jefferies tube for the climb back up.::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::sighs:: *CEO*: Then do your best, Lieutenant.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Smiles as the woman looks up at her in surprise::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::notes the disappointment in Haynes' voice but can do little about it at the moment::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::sits back in his chair and frowns:: OPS: System status?

Host Frank_SM says:
ACTION: There is no response to the hails: there is no subspace communications at all.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
Pam:  I believe your desire for children is about to come about.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
<Ens Pam> ::Mumbles something about bad timing.::

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
::Stops at the next landing to catch her breath.::  Self: Man, I hate climbing in these things.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::taps her console and looks up puzzled:: CO: Sir...I have green lights all across the board but it's dead out there.  No signals at all from anywhere.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
Pam:  Don't worry about it.  If not for the current situation, you probably wouldn't have known for a few weeks yet.  After things have settled down, come back and see me.

SO_Petersen says:
::crawling through the Jefferies tubes, on his way to Stellar Cartography::

CTO_Lt_Jg_Llynisika says:
::nods in agreement:: CO: I get the same thing, sir

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
::Before continuing, she slips her jacket off and ties it around her waist.::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::scowls:: OPS/CTO: We could throw a rock to them from here and we can't request help. Well keep working at it, maybe we'll get lucky.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
<Ens Pam> ::nods::  CMO:  Thanks, we will.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Helps Pam off the table and back over to her friend.::

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
Self: Whew! It’s hot in here.  This is worse than hiking in the desert.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::speaks a little softly to the captain:: CO: Looks like the best we'll get is our fusion reactor online, if that.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
CO: Sir...our systems are working...they just aren't answering.

CTO_Lt_Jg_Llynisika says:
CO: Aye.  ::Turns back to her board and glances at Mia::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::gaze hardens a little toward Mia, clear evidence that he isn't about to amend those orders::

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
::Goes one step at a time,  feels the sweat dripping down her face.::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
XO: Are the reactors back enough that we've got propulsion?

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
Self: Going up is always harder than going down.

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
::Finally reaches the bridge landing and undoes the hatch and crawls out.::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::After seeing the two women out, she updates their files.::

SO_Petersen says:
::arrives at the end of a tunnel and knocks open the hatch, emerging onto deck nine::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Has joined the repair teams working on the fusion reactors::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
CO: It hasn't been reported yet, no.  Sir... here to Earth on impulse only...  ::shakes his head::

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
::Wipes the sweat from her brow.::

CTO_Lt_Jg_Llynisika says:
::Hears the hatch and sees Haynes::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::sees power rerouted to the sensor arrays:: CTO: 'Sika...you should have limited sensors now.  I'll try and get them boosted but at least you have something.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::keeps his voice as low:: XO: It's the best we have, until we have better. Get Magh on it double time.

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
::Turns around and puts her jacket back on, securing it properly, wipes her face once more on the sleeve and goes back to the CONN Station.::

SO_Petersen says:
::makes the short trip around the deck to arrive at Stellar Cartography, and after some effort, manually forces the door open::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::thinks:: XO: And find out if he knows why our core went crazy yet.

CTO_Lt_Jg_Llynisika says:
OPS: Got it.  Thanks Mia  ::fingers fly over her board, checking SRS::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Leans over to look over the tech's shoulder; the Vulcan tech hides his annoyance  and continues::

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
CO: Sir did I just hear right, we have impulse back?

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::nods to the CO, says a curt "Yes sir" and heads to the console on his chair again::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::At the sound of a door opening, she turns to see her son being carried in.  Immediately she goes over to him.::

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::gets a few updates and sends them to the various departments::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Hears a satisfying grunt from the team to his left; moves to join them::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::less than pleased:: CIV: You heard wrong, Cadet. We're just looking at getting the reactors back on for power. Man the helm and see if we can get the RCS thrusters online, get us moving toward the system.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Nods in satisfaction:: *XO*: One reactor on line.

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
::Presses a few buttons on her console.::

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
CO: Yes sir.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::As her son reaches for her, she can see the bruise starting to form on his head::  Avi:  What happened?

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::sets up the comm unit to continuously loop through the frequencies hailing anyone and everyone.  Works on rerouting more power to the sensors::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*XO*: Don't burn it out trying to bring everything up at once.

SO_Petersen says:
::digs through drawers, eventually collecting some eight PADDs, and tucking them under his arms, quickly shuffles back toward the tube entry::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
<Avi> CMO:  Nothing much.  His lizard got out of his cage when it fell off the bed at that sudden stop.  He went to try and grab it and ended up falling headfirst on the floor.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
*CEO*: Excellent.  Do you have an investigative team going yet?

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
Ship: Come on at least give us the thrusters.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::turns his head to let the CO know:: OPS\CO: On fusion reactor running.  It can't take too many simultaneous systems running though.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
XO: I've got everything shut down except the sensors and communications, plus life support.

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
*CEO*: Anyway you can give me something get thrusters moving sir?

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Hears the reactor strain as it takes the load of some of the ship's systems::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Puts Keiran on the bed and gently probes the bruised area.  Then she looks down at her son who is looking so solemnly up at her.::  Keiran: Good think you inherited your grandfathers head.  ::Bends down to kiss his head::  You will be alright sweetie.

SO_Petersen says:
::knocks on the bridge hatch, just to make sure no one's standing on or near it::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*CIV*: Wait until we get another reactor up... don't want to blow this one.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
CTO: Switch back to passive sensors. OPS: Take the external comm transmitters offline, we'll just receive for now.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
OPS: Keep the reactors comfortable, Ensign.  Use your discretion, just don't burn them out.

CTO_Lt_Jg_Llynisika says:
::Curses under her breath at the lack of information::

CTO_Lt_Jg_Llynisika says:
CO: Aye, sir. Switching back now ::taps a command::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Handing Keiran back to his nanny::  Avi:  The girls are fine?

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::listens to all reports from the bridge crew and tries to get an understanding as to what was going on::

SO_Petersen says:
::opens the bridge hatch, a little, peeking out...then pops it opens and climbs out, setting his PADDs down on the deck a moment::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
CO/XO: Aye sirs.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
<Avi> CMO:  Yes.  I dropped them off with Katira.  She somehow managed to sleep through it all.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*OPS*: Please be gentle with the power. ::grins::

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
*CEO*:  The Captain wants to get us moving at least a little.

CTO_Lt_Jg_Llynisika says:
::overhears Magh and smiles slightly::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Frowns at that, knowing her sister is a very light sleeper.::  Avi:  Good.  I will check on Katira later.  Meanwhile, you can take this one back to his quarters... ::pauses as her son keeps looking at her, now his bottom lip trembling.::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
*CEO*: Like it was my own baby, Lt.  ::let's her voice take on a light tone::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*CIV*: Patience Mucktag.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::tempted to try to reach out telepathically to see if he can reach his parents but knows he'd probably crack before he could manage it:: ::slams his fist on his chair arm instead, growling under his breath:: Self: Blast!

CMO_Ahkileez says:
Keiran:  What is it honey?

CMO_Ahkileez says:
<Keiran> CMO:  Izzy go way.

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
*CEO*:  Sir, with all due respect, we HAVE to work together, I would appreciate it if you kept your personal comments to yourself.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Sees the last tech from the warp core team approaching; the woman bends over and whispers in his ear::

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::observes the CO's reaction... Doesn't think much about it sense they are all feeling the same way at the moment::

CTO_Lt_Jg_Llynisika says:
::Glances over her shoulder at the Captain's outburst, not saying anything, but knows the feeling all to well::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
Keiran:  Izzy go away?

SO_Petersen says:
::walks over to sciences again, and refrains from gasping::  Self:  Oh, short range is back online.  Excellent.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::leans over and whispers to the Cadet:: CIV: Slow down...we'll get the power when we can....until then don't keep bugging the CEO.  He knows what he's doing...

CMO_Ahkileez says:
<Avi> CMO:  We haven't found him yet.  I promised him as soon as you checked him out, we would go and look for him.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Spins to look at the tech's jaw dropping then clamps shut::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::quietly to the CO, trying not to draw attention:: CO: To be honest, the chair didn't do anything sir.  ::hopes to not be yelled at::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::nods at the tech:: *CO*: More bad news.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Nods solemnly at her son::  Keiran:  Look everywhere.  I am sure you will be able to find him.  OK?

Host Frank_SM says:
ACTION: Short Range Sensors detect no space traffic in the area.

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
::Looks at OPS:: OPS: I'm just doing what the Captain asked.  ::Shrugs her shoulders.::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
<Kerian> ::Nods his head::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::glares at Shinji and then answers the comm:: *CEO*: What's the problem, Lieutenant Soree?

SO_Petersen says:
::selects the PADD containing maps of the Sol system and surrounding area, and making sure the scale is proportionate, checks it against what's displayed on his console::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
Keiran/Avi:  I'll check on things later.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*CO*: My senior tech just informed me that the damage to the core was intentional..  this was not an accident.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
CIV: Patience Cadet, Lt. Soree will get the power to us when he can and you're just distracting him.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::barely manages to restrain his voice:: *CEO*: What? How?

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Watches as the two of them leave, then goes back to help Gold::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Sways back and forth hopping from one foot to the other in anger.::

SO_Petersen says:
XO:  Commander, sir.  Something's rather odd on the short range.  ::puts down the PADD a moment, having noticed something::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Pauses as she feels a great wave of anger pass through her.  Something was upsetting Jyg.  Hopefully nothing major.::

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
::Grumbling/Mumbling::  Self: Fine!, I'll just sit here and do nothing, that is what they expect me to do.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*CO*: I will personally inspect it and report sir... but it seems to have been a timed device to leak the isotope and cause a cascade effect.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::half pays attention, with all the hubbub:: SO: What is it?

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*CO*: We got very lucky sir.

SO_Petersen says:
XO:  If this is the Sol system, sir - and bear in mind, I have yet to verify that - the short range detects no space traffic in the area.  I think you'll agree that's rather odd, sir, considering where we believe we are.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Waves at the repair teams to continue as he walks away to check on the core::

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
CO: Sir, would you like the view screen on to see where we are going when we do get moving?

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::face becomes slack and emotionless rather than more angry:: *CEO*: I believe you're right. See to that investigation, Lieutenant. I'm sending Llynisika down to assist from her end. We need to find out who did it and how to reverse it.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::overhears the SO and quickly gets up and walks over to the tac console:: CTO: 'Sika... there's nothing out there?

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::furrows his brow:: SO: We should be in range of at least one  station.  Nothing?

SO_Ens_Petersen says:
XO:  If the power level allows it, I'm going to do a low-level scan for ion trails, sir.  May I have permission?

CTO_Lt_Jg_Llynisika says:
::Glances up at her name::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::figures it can't hurt:: CIV: Yes, as a matter of fact. Put it on, whatever magnification we can manage.

CTO_Lt_Jg_Llynisika says:
OPS: I know.  I can't find anything at all

SO_Ens_Petersen says:
::shakes his head quickly::  XO:  No, sir.  Sorry to interrupt, sir.  ::swallows::

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
CO: Yes, sir. ::Turns on the view screen to the lowest magnification.::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*XO*: Estimate 20 minutes 'till the next fusion reactor is repaired.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::nods at Llynisika:: CTO: Help Magh find out who damaged this ship.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::swallows and says a bit louder than she intended:: CTO: Was it destroyed?  I mean...is Earth still there?

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
CO:  That's the best for now sir without draining more energy.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::shakes his head:: XO: Run it through Ensign Clooney, let her allocate the power... and use what sensors we have to look for anything.  Ion trails, debris, anything.

CTO_Lt_Jg_Llynisika says:
OPS: I don't know, Mia ::Turns to the Captain:: CO: On my way.

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
::Taps a few things onto the CONN Console to put it on standby then sits back a bit in the chair and stares at the view screen into space.::

Host Frank_SM says:
ACTION: The Sol system is displayed on the view screen, but it is strangely different, though no one can quite pinpoint what is wrong.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Approaches the rail surrounding the core::

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::looks up at the view screen::

SO_Ens_Petersen says:
XO:  Aye sir.  ::Approaches Ensign Clooney::  OPS:  Ma'am, how much power may I have for some standard sweeps?  It won't take but a few minutes.

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
CO: You now sir.  It looks rather odd out there doesn't it?  Something's not right.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::watches the silent specks far away on the viewscreen and barely notices Llynisika pass by him in his peripheral vision::

CTO_Lt_Jg_Llynisika says:
::Puts her hand on Mia's arm:: OPS: We just need to keep looking.  ::Fades off as she looks at the view screen, turning Mia around::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Bends over and scoots under the rail::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::goes back to her station and looks at the view screen before turning her attention to the power distribution::

Host Frank_SM says:
ACTION: During a routine COMM scan RF signals are detected.

SO_Ens_Petersen says:
::tilts his head and looks at the view screen while waiting for a response::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Gets an eerie feeling seeing the cold core::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::With everything fairly quiet, takes advantage of that and heads for her office for a break.::

CTO_Lt_Jg_Llynisika says:
::walks towards the tube, slowly, still looking at the screen::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::hears a beep and looks at the console disbelieving for a minute::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
CIV: And I wish I knew what it was.. ::looks away from the screen again, hoping for a miracle::

SO_Ens_Petersen says:
::looks down at the operations console::  OPS:  What's that, ma'am?

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::double checks again:: CO: Sir?  I've got...I've got an RF signal coming through.

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
::Looks long and hard at the view screen images.::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::barely remembers what that is:: OPS: Put it on, Ensign.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Sees the open panel and looks in at the Matter/Anti-matter intermix chamber::

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
::Thinks to self::  Can it be?

Host Frank_SM says:
ACTION: The signal is weak, almost undetectable by the damaged systems of the Sharikahr, but is there nonetheless.

CTO_Lt_Jg_Llynisika says:
::Pauses to listen to Mia, one leg in the tube::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::tries to reconfigure the console to receive it:: CO: Trying to sir...I have to reconfigure....should be clearing up in a minute.

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
OPS:  Can you pull up any historical solar system pictures?

SO_Ens_Petersen says:
Self:  Hmm.  ::Goes back to sciences, picking up the PADD again, and comparing the magnitude and age of Sol herself to determine whether there is any time differential::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::irrationally:: All: Everybody, quiet down..

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::boosts the signal gain and runs it through the intercom so everyone can hear it on the bridge::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Looks over the M/AM reactor injectors... starting at the top.. fuel coordinator.. fusion preburner...::

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::listens::

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
::Listens to the RF signal over the speakers.:: Self: It has to be.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::runs it through a few more filters to clean it up::

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
SO: Is it possible that we have been time warped?

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Nozzle head... Upper MCS cap... then looks down at the AM Injector::

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The signal is weak, almost unintelligible.  It refers to something about a clean tide... or some such thing.

SO_Ens_Petersen says:
Self:  Sol is burning hotter...and has gained absolute magnitude...she's aged.  ::looks over his shoulder::  CIV:  I'm beginning to think something like that may be possible, Cadet.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::walks over to the cadet again and gestures to her to keep it down, sympathetically::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Frowns... the antideuterium sublimator doesn't look right::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::frowns at the lack of understanding:: OPS: Can we clear it up anymore?

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
::At the XO's gesture,  takes a deep breath and drops her head down.::

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::muses:: Self: Clean Tide... I wonder if there is a pollution problem some where.

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
::Trying to control her frustration.::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
Self: Now why would that have change colors?

Host Frank_SM says:
ACTION: Then something clear, and quite shocking comes through.  "And that is the news today, March 21st, 2053"

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::walks over to the Science console::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Reaches up to make sure the matter flow value is off; then does same for Antimatter valve::

CIV-Cdt-Haynes says:
::Thinks to self, at the rate we're going,  I'm going to have a birthday in 3 days.::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::eyes widen some:: Self: My God...

SO_Ens_Petersen says:
::makes a few calculations, but has next to nothing to go on::  ::quietly::  XO:  Commander, I've noted a differential in the absolute magnitude of Sol that would seem to correlate the audio evidence we just received.  ::shows him the PADD::

CTO_Lt_Jg_Llynisika says:
::antennae go straight up:: Self: What?
