USS Sharikahr Mission Transcript – 10306.12

“A Time of Loss”

Chapter II

The USS Sharikahr is slowly making its way across the Epsilon Utay System.  It is early morning, if there is such a thing in space, and day shift is set to start in 15 minutes.

XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
::fixes his uniform collar, straightens his jacket, and takes a breath, nodding to himself in the mirror before proceeding out of his quarters::
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
::Smoothes her hair and slips on her duty boots then picks up the PADD from her desk reviewing the days duties.::
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::turns around and sees her grandfather enter the living area of her quarters::  Grandpapa: Good morning. ::smiles::
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::looks over the morning brief::
XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:

CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
<Grandpapa> CNS: Good morning, Sweety. ::kisses his grand-daughter on the cheek::
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
::Goes to her replicator and orders a liquid nutritional supplement in mint chocolate.::
CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::focuses on the view screen, his jaw muscle jumping from the clenching::
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::Throws the PADD on his unmade bed and heads for the bridge::
CEO_LT_Chaser says:
:: smoothes her uniform and does a quick check of exactly where main engineering is on this ship ::
XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
::the lift arrives and he specifies the bridge, the doors close and he is quickly whisked to the bridge::
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
Grandpapa:  I have got to go to work, but I left a container of jabean for you for breakfast.
PFCO_Flight says:
::settles into her temporary quarters and makes it as homey as possible:: Self: Well it's not home but it will do.
CEO_LT_Chaser says:
:: heads down to deck seven, hands clasped behind her back ::
CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::stares at the silent planetary system dancing in its orbits:: Self: Five minutes and I start skinning...
XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
::the doors open and he steps out onto the bridge, quietly surveying it again for the first time in over a year::
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
::Takes the drink and heads out of her quarters with PADD in hand sipping and reading as she walks toward the Turbolift.::
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::finish saying her goodbye and then heads out the door in her hover chair::
CEO_LT_Chaser says:
:: steps off the lift searching out  main engineering, and comes across the CEO's office, thinks ver-ry cool ::
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::Arrives on the bridge and takes his station:: CO: Captain ::notices the XO:: XO: C-c-commander. I'm CSO Hayward
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::hovers onto the lift and orders it to the bridge nodding and smiling to the few others that are on the lift with her::
CEO_LT_Chaser says:
:: steps into her new office looking around with wide eyes ::
CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::turns his chair around and watches the various officers arrive for their morning shift::
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
Computer: Transfer all available scans of this system to my helm console.
PFCO_Flight says:
::wonders if the Captain would mind her on the bridge:: *CO*: Excuse me Captain, this is Ensign Flight. Would it be all right if I observed on the bridge?
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
::Enters the TL.:: Computer: Bridge.
XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
::looks at the CSO, narrowing his eyes for half a second while staring at him, then smiles:: CSO: Pleased to meet you Commander. I'm Commander Maylen.
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::exits onto the Bridge and surveys it as she heads to her station in the command center::
CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::instinctively looks up at the ceiling as the comm comes in:: *PFCO*: I suppose it would be all right.
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
::The doors open on the bridge and she steps out still looking down at her PADD scanning it for anything else she might need and sipping her breakfast beverage.::
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
XO: I'm sure you'll find all is on order. I'm Milwood Hayward. Most people call me Woody
PFCO_Flight says:
*CO*: Thank you Captain. I promise not to get in the way. Flight out.
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::smiles as she sees the new XO, but waits to make her introduction::
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
::Walks toward the Helm console.::
CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::thinks 'better not' and closes the comm with the button on his chair arm before standing:: All: Good morning.
CEO_LT_Chaser says:
:: sits down in at her desk thinking the first thing she needs is a slot for her tail, as she spins around  and around in her chair till she feels quite dizzy ::
PFCO_Flight says:
::adjusts the new replicated uniform and heads for the turbolift:: Computer: Bridge!
XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
::nods to the CSO:: CSO: I see... well, I'm sure it will good serving with you. Carry on, then. ::walks down the bridge to take the seat next to the Captain:: CO: Good morning, Captain. ::notes something... odd::
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
CO: Good Morning.
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
::Puts the PADD and the beverage down on the console before turning toward the Captain.:: CO: Mornin' Cap'n.

Action: As the Alpha shift reports start to come in, it can be noted that a higher than usual number of crewmen are late for their respective shifts.

CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::smiles at the XO::  XO: Commander, I am Lt. Keely Cephas, ship's counselor.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::looks around:: All: We have a lot to do this morning and the sooner we get to it, the better. Is there anything we need to cover before we start?
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::returns to his console and focuses his attention on the star mapping::
CEO_LT_Chaser says:
:: stands up heading for main engineering, bounces through the door looking around ::
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::turns her attention to the CO::
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
::Turns back toward her console and sits down reviewing the incoming reports from the Flight crews.::
CEO_LT_Chaser says:
:: notices a rather light crew in engineering wondering if everyone is late ::
PFCO_Flight says:
::arrives on the bridge and moves to the rear::
XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
CNS: Lieutenant. ::nods and checks his monitor display::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::continues looking:: All: No one? Then let’s get to it.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
CSO/FCO: Is our survey course plotted and ready?
XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
CO: Captain, departments across the ship report that an unusual number of crew are missing from their shifts.
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::observes the some of the crews lateness::
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: Yes Sir, it is. I was feeding some of the specifics to the FCO now.
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
CO: ::whispers:: It is possible that you are just seeing the after effects of losing a crewmember.
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::feeds some specifications to the FCO::
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
::Looks at the sensor readings and draws up a preliminary course.::
CEO_LT_Chaser says:
:: starts checking the duty roster ::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::nods at Hayward then glances at Haynes:: FCO: Once you're ready go, take us out.
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
CSO: How's about this one Cmdr?  ::Forwards it back to him.::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::walks back to the central command area:: XO: Who, where and why are they missing?
PFCO_Flight says:
::notices there is no one at operations and walks over:: FCO: I see your operations officer seems to be late. May I sit here if the Captain has no objections?
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
CO: Aye Captain, what speed?
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
FCO: I've implemented a new search algorithm. And extrapolated points of possible interest. ::looks at what she sent:: This looks fine.
XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
CO: Twenty-four absent, as of last report, across all departments. There are no reasons for the absences here.
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::looks to make sure that the CO heard her::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::Scowls:: XO: Have the computer find them and tell them to report to their divisional supervisors immediately.
PFCO_Flight says:
::turns to the CO::CO: Sir, may I take the OPS station to observe?
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
CSO: Very well Cmdr.  CO: Engaging now sir at half impulse.  ::Engages.::
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::thinks however that is a rather high number for her hypothesis::
XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
XO: Aye, sir. ::taps his console and waits a few seconds:: CO: Sir... computer reports all twenty-four are no longer aboard ship.
CEO_LT_Chaser says:
:: raises an eyebrow at seven missing engineering crew ::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
:;was on his way to the Pit:: FCO: All stop!. ::turns around:: XO: No longer aboard the ship? Didn't we do a headcount after coming back from the Putnam?
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::eyes widen and checks her console to see if any are from her department::
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
::CO: Aye captain. ::comes to a full stop.::
PFCO_Flight says:
::waits for the Captain to speak::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::brow furrows:: XO: Twenty four crewmen just can't up and fly out of here, Commander. No one knows where they are?
XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
::tells the computer to search again:: CO: Confirmed, sir. We are short twenty-four crew with no reason or apparent method of departure.
CEO_LT_Chaser says:
:: pulls sensor logs from the area where former CEO was affected and begins to track down radiation readings ::
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
::Turns toward the Command Staff and listen.::
XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
CO: Captain, this is highly irregular... I suggest we raise shields and go to alert condition two.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::exhales slowly and angrily:: XO: All we have right now is a mystery, not a threat. ::turns:: CSO: Start checking the internal sensor logs for the last twenty hours.
PFCO_Flight says:
::leans to the FCO:: FCO: May I sit, or this a standing bridge only?
XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
::turns to his console again:: CO: I'm directing security to dispatch people to all the quarters.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::heads back towards his chair and nods at Maylen:: XO: Good. And have them talk to their friends too. Find out when the last time is they were seen if they're unable to be found.
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::Sees that two of her department personnel are missing.  Begins to contact various people on the ship that might have had some idea where their last whereabouts were::
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: I'm, on it. ::starts checking the internal sensor logs::
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
::Motions to the empty OPS seat.:: PFCO: Have a seat, just don't touch anything.
XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
CO: I merely suggest that if some force has been able to take crew off our ship, then perhaps raising shields will prevent further occurrences.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::eases down in his chair:: FCO: Take us back to our last position and contact the Putnam.
PFCO_Flight says:
::smiles and sits:: FCO: Thank you kindly.
CEO_LT_Chaser says:
:: has the computer locate the missing crew while, continuing to examine logs ::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::Glances up at Desmond:: XO: We don't know for certain that they're missing, Commander Maylen. Just that they are unaccounted for.
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
CO: Aye captain.  ::Sets the course in and engages at full impulse.::
PFCO_Flight says:
::watches the FCO closely::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Finishing up in the lab, closes things down::
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
::Leans over to the OPS console and sends out a priority message to the Putnam.::

Action: There is no response from the Putnam.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::Tries to calm down with deep breaths:: CNS: Keely, how many on the missing personnel were with us on the Putnam?
CEO_LT_Chaser says:
:: finds a host of missing crew, and starts wondering what is going on, sending a yeoman off to check the quarters of the missing crew ::
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
COM: Putnam: Please respond this is the USS Sharikahr.
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: Captain, this is odd. I'm detecting absolutely nothing out of place at all - even though there are always a few discrepancies. It's almost as if someone hit a giant" Clear history" Button
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Makes her way to sickbay, a frown on her face.::
XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
::nods:: CO: Of course, Captain. ::his console beeps:: Initial teams checking in... the quarters are empty, literally. Every personal effect of the crew is gone.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::listens to Hayward, then Maylen, then fixes his gaze back on Maylen:: XO: Now you can raise shields. Have Security step up their efforts on those interviews.
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
CO: Sir no response from the Putnam.

Action: the USS Putnam is also no longer on sensors.

FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
CO: They are also not where we left 'em sir.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Entering sickbay, she nods to Sky before heading into her office and closing the door::
PFCO_Flight says:
::swivels in the chair and looks around at the CSO and smiles at him::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::leans forward:: FCO: What? They didn't leave more than ten minutes ago. How could they be out of sensor range already?
XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
FCO: Raise shields. ::taps on his console::
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
XO: Yes Cmdr.  ::Taps her console and raises shields.::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Sitting down, she pulls up Anne's file and begins to in put her findings and conclusion::
CEO_LT_Chaser says:
:: walks over to the main engineering grids and looks them over, noting a yellow alert ::
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::checks the computer:: CO: None of them sir.
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::tries to reconfigure, looking for any lost data::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
CNS: Then it doesn't make any sense... ::thinks::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
CSO: Do we have a course for the Putnam?
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::As the young engineers face appears on the screen with the words below it in bold, cold letters, deceased, she pauses and closes her eyes.::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::has an epiphany:: PFCO: Ensign Flight, where was the Putnam scheduled to go after leaving this system?
CEO_LT_Chaser says:
:: plots a reconfiguration of shields to block all known types of radiation ::
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
CO: Perhaps it is we that are 'gone'.
PFCO_Flight says:
::stands and walks to the science station:: CSO: Anything interesting on your sensors?
XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
CO: Captain, I'm still getting nothing from security. No one seems to have seen or heard a thing.
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: Captain it gets worse, wherever they went they left no ion trail, it's as if they were never here
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
CSO: Sir what about transporter logs?
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: I'm getting NO residuals of any kind
CMO_Ahkileez says:
<MO_Sky> ::Worried by the doctors earlier expression, sticks her head around the doctors door::  CMO:  Doctor?
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
FCO: Ensign the computer said that there was no trace of them leaving.  That includes the transports.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::looks around at his officers and raises his hands for quiet:: All: Somebody give me an explanation for this, right now.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Opening her eyes, she looks up to see Sky's concerned face.  With a shake of her head, a weak smile and a wave of her hand, she bids her assistance to leave her for now.::
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
CO: Something cloaked sir?  ::Thinking of their last mission.::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::As her door closes, she looks back at the screen and begins again.::
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::raises and eyebrow and thinks 'I thought I just did'::
XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
CO: Captain, we have crew who have disappeared, seemingly without a trace, and we have a starship which seems to have done the same... at this point, I'm not sure we have an explanation.
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: Captain, all I know is that it is physically impossible for a Starship to leave no trace - yet they have apparently done so
PFCO_Flight says:
:;wonders why no one seems to talk to her and wanders over to tactical and looks at the readings but doesn't touch:
XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
::turns around:: CSO: What about... particle disturbances, interstellar dust clouds the Putnam may have passed through, a wake?
CEO_LT_Chaser says:
:: thinks in theory repolarization of the shields might work ::
XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
::taps his console for an update on the missing crew::
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
XO: Negative. No spatial disturbances of any kind
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
CSO: What if we recalibrated sensors?
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
CO:  Is it just the Putnam missing.  I mean are there any stations, outpost, still out there?
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
All: We can't just lose thirty people and no one knows anything. At this point I just want them found and found quickly. Act on whatever leads you have. If we don't have them and they're not on the Putnam, they have to be nearby on something or with some one.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
CNS: Good questions. CSO: Are there?
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
CO: Well Sir, what DO we know?
PFCO_Flight says:
CO: Captain, the Putnam was to head to the nearby Nebula, but that's not unusual.
XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
CO: Sir! Computer reports four more people have disappeared! ::dispatches security to their quarters immediately::
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
XO: Is there any correlation to their quarter’s locations?
PFCO_Flight says:
CO: I've been in there a hundred times running sensors scans with the shuttle. Nothing in there but.....nebula. ::smiles and winks at him::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Finishing her report, she sends a copy to Maylen before closing Anne's file for the last time.::
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
::Overhears the PFCO.:: CO: Well Cap’n not on the surface at least it isn't unusual but if you wanted to hide something then hiding in a nebula is the next best thing to a cloak since sensors have a difficult penetrating and working inside a nebula.
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: Captain, there isn't anything of note in the vicinity
XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
::looks up slightly, as one does when talking to the ship:: Computer, monitor all personnel onboard the Sharikahr and immediately notify of any change in crew compliment.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
All: All right, all right! Quiet all of you!
PFCO_Flight says:
::heads back to science and stops as the Captain barks::
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::looks up, bemused::
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
::Thinks to herself, yeesh he wants us to tell him stuff then he tells us to stop, he never knows what he wants, just like a man.::
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::Thinks, He asked!::

Action: The Computer responds that Crewman Sanel is no longer aboard the Sharikahr.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
All: Twenty-nine people are missing. We have no idea why or where to. We need to structure what we know and try to get the full picture here. Our shields are up. That means they aren't being transported away. What's left?
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::takes it on herself to look at the locations of the quarters and see if there is any connections::
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
CO: Some sort of transporter that can penetrate our shields?
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: Temporal displacement. :: scans for chronitons::
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: Or a dimensional shift
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::looks into both::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Standing, she heads back into the unusually quiet sickbay::  MO:  You needed something of me?
XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
::flashes a look at the Captain, then up:: Self: Stang... ::looks to his console:: CO: Captain, Security is continually reporting the same thing. All personal effects gone... ::shakes his head:: Self: Why would personal effects be disappearing as well...
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::shakes head:: FCO: Even if you can cloak the ship and beam through the shields, the transporter beam itself would still be visible.
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
All: Well let's look at this objectively.  That ship we encountered at the Vulcan colony was much more superior to ours what if they are trying to get us for what we did there>
XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
::turns around:: CSO: Run a sensor sweep, of us. Through ship scan, note any irregularities, no matter what they are.
PFCO_Flight says:
::nudges the CSO::CSO: Is he always this gruff? ::nodding in the Captain's direction::
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
PFCO: Uh. No.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
CSO: Do we know the exact nature of the spatial anomalies in this system? Do they have transdimensional properties?
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::sighs as there appears to be no correlation::
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: I'm running scans now. I should have something momentarily
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
CO: It wouldn't matter sir if those that are disappearing are all disappearing together or individually.
XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
::flashes at look and walks around the bridge:: PFCO: Do you have something to say?
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
FCO: The DSS was designed specifically for subspace scanning. It should have picked up anything like a transporter signal. But it hasn't.
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: I'm picking up pockets of a sub-space disturbance. Analysis reveals some interdimensional qualities to them
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
CO: Sir that ship scanned us pretty thoroughly, they had advanced technology.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
<MO_Sky> ::nods her head::  CMO:  Apparently Dr Gill's didn't report to work last night, nor did Shalara.  And K'gin is missing now.
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
::Looks at the CSO and smiles since it seems to support her theory.::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
MO:  You don't just misplace a Klingon, let alone two others.  Have you commed them?
Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The Computer notifies you that Ens. T'ren is no longer aboard the Sharikahr.
PFCO_Flight says:
CSO: All perfectly normal out here.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
<MO_Sky> ::nods her head::  Yes...
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Frowns::  MO:  I will go check their quarters.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::snaps:: FCO: One problem at a time. Find out if we flew through or near any of those transdimensional pockets
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
CSO: Do we have any idea where these pockets go to?
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
::hears the announcement.:: All: Argh,  CO: Sir we just can't be hanging around here being plucked off one by one.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::leaving sickbay in Sky's hands, goes first to Dr. Gill's quarters.::
PFCO_Flight says:
::turns to the XO::XO: Nothing sir, just observing.
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
::Thinks back to her space abnormalities class.:: CO: Sir we'd known it if we had or shall I say we'd have felt it.
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
FCO: Easy ensign.  We have to remain calm or it could make matters worse.
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: One of the parallel universes that mirror our own I would guess. Or there’s the multiverse theory, or all things in all places at all times...I used to work with folding space once. It was like that.
PFCO_Flight says:
::heads back to operations and takes her seat again glancing at the XO::
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
::Eyes the CNS:: CNS: Well its the truth Lt.
XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
::speaks so that only the PFCO can hear him:: PFCO: Well next time, keep your observations to yourself before you find yourself removed from this bridge, understand? Good. ::walks back to his seat and taps his console:: CO: Still nothing, Captain, we're losing people left and right. ::pauses the list upon seeing a few familiar names:::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::standing in an empty room, she looks around.  As she forgets about Anne, in her confusion, she suddenly senses her husbands anger and confusion.::
CEO_LT_Chaser says:
:: looks at the sector of space they are in, and proximity to planets or other bodies that might affect the radiation counts ::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
*CO*:  Is there something someone wants to tell me?
XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
FCO: Begin rotating shield frequencies. ::turns:: CSO: Status on that self scan?
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
*CMO*: We have a situation. You'd better get up here.
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: Nothing. In itself strange, there should be something to report
CMO_Ahkileez says:
*CO*:  Lovely... I am on my way.
PFCO_Flight says:
::watches the lights flash on the console and really want to touch them but refrains::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::closes the comm channel again:: CSO: Start a bioscan. I want to know where every flea and tick is in this system.
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
XO: Yes Cmdr.  ::Sets the shields to a random rotating.::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
FCO: Start plotting us a course out, one half-impulse but no faster.
XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
::on his console, plots the locations of the missing crew on a ship schematic::
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
CO: On our original course or somewhere else?
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::applies a sensor "ID" to all of the beings on the ship, animal or vegetable, in order to track them, then sets sensors on a full spectrum continuos sweep::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::looks at the view screen and at the sun that has suddenly turned sinister in appearance:: FCO: Just out of the system, Ensign. I don't care where.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Steps onto the TL::  Computer, bridge.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::taps his badge:: *CEO*: Bridge to Engineering.
Host Frank_SM says:
Action: A Vulcan Science officer on the bridge is monitoring sensors.  Suddenly, his corporeal body turns to what appears to be a shadow, then blows away, like a puff of smoke in the wind.  It is witnessed by almost everyone on the bridge.
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::alerts her remaining department and department heads to be on the look out for any personal that need their counseling efforts::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Steps off the TL onto the bridge::
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
CO: How's about back toward a Federation/Starfleet post?  ::Plots the course to the nearest one.::
XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
::nods:: CO: Aye, sir. ::taps the 1 MC:: *All* All hands, this is the Executive Officer. We're experiencing some strange occurrences, and I am requesting that all crew not on duty assemble in the mess areas and report to your duty officers. ::closes the channel, and takes the ship to Red Alert::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Catching the vision of the science officer, she blinks her eyes.::  What the?
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
::Turns and sees the officer disappear.::
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
CO: We could start to see panic set in among the crew.  Recommend that extra security be made available if the need arises.
PFCO_Flight says:
::leans over to the FCO:: FCO: There goes another one. ::points to the Vulcan science officer::
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
Self: Oh Shit. ::Engages the engines on the laid in course.::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
