Host EvilSM says:
ACTION: right on cue the communications console activates
OPS_Korlak says:
::sitting at OPS, checking out ships stores::
CNS_Jordain says:
::In the CNS seat on the bridge, fiddling with a dozen PADDs::
FCO_Ranahi says:
::sat at his console on the bridge, looking around him, awestruck - has not seen such a modern-looking ship for ages::
CO_Jorgaenson says:
*Bridge*: On my way up
XO_McRae says:
::looks around the bridge to make sure nothing is on fire, yet::
OPS_Korlak says:
XO: Incoming communication. Would you like it on screen?
CO_Jorgaenson says:
::walks to the turbolift::
XO_McRae says:
OPS: Why not
OPS_Korlak says:
::fiddles with the appropriate controls::
CO_Jorgaenson says:
TL: Bridge
Host EvilSM says:
ACTION: The viewscreen shows the text orders for the Tal-war to proceed to a nearby sector of space to investigate some gravimetric distortions
XO_McRae says:
::looks up from his phaser to see screen::
CO_Jorgaenson says:
::steps onto the bridge::
CO_Jorgaenson says:
XO: Mind if I have my seat back Quinn?
OPS_Korlak says:
::wonders just who or what keeps on distorting these gravimetrics::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: at Tactical, monitoring the area.::
XO_McRae says:
::sees CO, wonders why she would want to sit in the CSO chair::
FCO_Ranahi says:
::reads the orders, and frowns slightly::
CNS_Jordain says:
CO: 'morning, captain. ::Nods::
CO_Jorgaenson says:
XO: Um, never mind, I assumed you were sitting at the conn.
XO_McRae says:
CO: New orders from Starfleet.  We're supposed to go someplace and investigate gravimetric distortions.
FCO_Ranahi says:
::plots a course to the relevant sector::
CO_Jorgaenson says:
::shakes head, she could've swore he was in her seat::
Host EvilSM says:
ACTION: there is a line at the bottom of the screen that says the orders are top priority
OPS_Korlak says:
::ensures a copy of the orders are forwarded to the duty science officer down in the labs, along with everything Starfleet has on the area::
CO_Jorgaenson says:
XO: So what else is new?           We are always investigating something!
CO_Jorgaenson says:
FCO: Warp factor six please.
CO_Jorgaenson says:
FCO: Location is being sent to your console.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: reconfigures the tactical array to include cobalt weapons.::
XO_McRae says:
::goes back to the phasers::
FCO_Ranahi says:
CO: Aye, sir.  Warp factor six.  :: confirms the course as the one he's already plotted and engages::
OPS_Korlak says:
CO: Science department has just reported in, they're reconfiguring sensors for optimum gravimetric scanning now.
CO_Jorgaenson says:
OPS: Wow, efficient bunch for once.
CNS_Jordain says:
::Drops several of the PADDs, retrieves them and discretely stuffs them underneath his chair::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: starts long range scans for alien ships and or spatial anomalies.::
Host EvilSM says:
ACTION: The Tal-war bends space and warps into the next sector
XO_McRae says:
::finishes the phasers and starts looking around the bridge::
CO_Jorgaenson says:
XO: Can you give me a brief on what to expect?
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
XO: Long range sensors detect, gravimetric distortions, in the upcoming sector. Sir.:
XO_McRae says:
CO: Gravimetric disturbances.  It's some science thing I guess.
CO_Jorgaenson says:
XO: I know, you really want to shoot something.      You may get your chance.
CO_Jorgaenson says:
CTO: Any more information?
XO_McRae says:
CTO: Fantastic.
OPS_Korlak says:
::starts checking power distribution to the weapons systems on hearing the CO talking to the XO::
Host EvilSM says:
ACTION: Several mins later the Tal-war appears in the next sector some 1 million kilometers from the disturbance
CO_Jorgaenson says:
OPS: Why don't you slave to sciences and get me some good scans?
XO_McRae says:
::hits a couple buttons on the science console and tries to get additional data on the disturbance::
FCO_Ranahi says:
CO: We have arrived, sir.  We're 1 million kilometers from the disturbance.
OPS_Korlak says:
CO: I can try, but I should remind you of my lack of scientific skills.
CEO_Dominica says:
::in ME making sure the strange energy patterns in the area don't effect the ship or engines::
CO_Jorgaenson says:
FCO: Thank you Mr. Ranahi
OPS_Korlak says:
::runs scans through the Scanning-for-dummies interface::
CO_Jorgaenson says:
OPS: Just follow the directions on the console dear.
OPS_Korlak says:
::blinks, and re-runs the scan::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
XO: Suggest tachyon sweep, and chroniton detection grids.:
XO_McRae says:
::looks at the results of all scans::
OPS_Korlak says:
CO: There appears to be a fault with the sensor system, Captain...
Host EvilSM says:
ACTION: The ship is now 500000 K from the gravimetric disturbance and closing
XO_McRae says:
CTO: Sounds good.
CO_Jorgaenson says:
OPS: Well just great.        Call engineering
FCO_Ranahi says:
CO: One half million kilometers, Captain.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
XO: suggest Yellow alert if we have no scan result, Sir.:
XO_McRae says:
CO: Recommend stopping for now, until we have a better idea of what this is.
OPS_Korlak says:
CO: Oh, apparently its my interpretation of the readout, Captain. The disturbances are forming a line in space... like a kind of trail.
Host EvilSM says:
ACTION: The ship is now 250000 K from the gravimetric disturbance and closing
CO_Jorgaenson says:
XO: Good idea Quinn.
CO_Jorgaenson says:
FCO: All stop please.
FCO_Ranahi says:
::sets full stop::  CO: Controls to full stop.
CO_Jorgaenson says:
OPS: Breadcrumbs??
CEO_Dominica says:
::notices the pull on the deflector shields and the extra pull on the power relays::
CNS_Jordain says:
::Looks up at the screen::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
CO: Suggest Yellow alert scans are inoperable.:
OPS_Korlak says:
CO: From my knowledge of old earth myths and legends, I suppose you could say that.
Host EvilSM says:
ACTION: the Tal-War is now 150000k from the gravimetric disturbance
XO_McRae says:
CTO: Go to yellow alert
Host EvilSM says:
ACTION: the ship is shuddering from the effects of being so close
FCO_Ranahi says:
CO: 150,000 Kilometers, Captain.
CO_Jorgaenson says:
FCO: Pull back some Mr. Ranahi
FCO_Ranahi says:
CO: Aye, sir.  ::starts to pull back::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: raises shields and readies weapons, yellow klaxon shines on the bridge.::
CEO_Dominica says:
*Bridge*: hey what are we heading toward! There is a pull on the power relays and the deflectors!
CO_Jorgaenson says:
*CEO*: You will know as soon as we do Mr. Dominica.
OPS_Korlak says:
*CEO* Prepare to increase the structural integrity field, we're encountering problems up here.
CEO_Dominica says:
::rushes around to try and stabilize the IDF::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: boosts power to the shields, incorporates beta tachyons into the shield bubble.::
Host EvilSM says:
ACTION: There is a constant shudder to the ship now
CEO_Dominica says:
::increases power to the hull integrity fields::
XO_McRae says:
FCO: Get us away from that a little faster.
CO_Jorgaenson says:
FCO: Take us back to 300, 000 km.
FCO_Ranahi says:
XO: Aye, sir  ::holds on to his console as he tries to set the ship in reverse a little faster::
FCO_Ranahi says:
CO: 300,000 klicks, aye, sir.
CEO_Dominica says:
*OPS*: already working on it!
OPS_Korlak says:
::gets a sudden idea to fit a mirror at the top of the viewscreen, but dismisses it::
FCO_Ranahi says:
CO: We're at 300,000 klicks, sir.
Host EvilSM says:
ACTION: the shudder dies down a little but not completely gone
CEO_Dominica says:
::checks the master display::
CO_Jorgaenson says:
FCO: Perhaps another 100, 000
CNS_Jordain says:
::Shudders a little bit less::
OPS_Korlak says:
CO: This is very strange.. the disturbance appears to be formed of distorted areas of space in near-regular intervals. It's definitely disappearing off out of this area.
CO_Jorgaenson says:
OPS: Get the science bay on this.
CEO_Dominica says:
::increases the deflector integrity and alters the phaser harmonics to remove the shuddering on the ship caused by the gravity eddies::
OPS_Korlak says:
CO: They already are. The duty officer would like a look at the disturbance further along the "trail".
Host EvilSM says:
ACTION: the ship stops shuddering
OPS_Korlak says:
CO: Unfortunately, that's out of our scanning range.
CO_Jorgaenson says:
OPS: Well tell them that if they want to scan our pieces we will get closer!
CEO_Dominica says:
::leans on the wall and sighs::
CO_Jorgaenson says:
*CEO*: That better Chief?
OPS_Korlak says:
CO: I suggest a course at a safe distance, but parallel to the distortion.
CO_Jorgaenson says:
OPS: Good suggestion.
CO_Jorgaenson says:
FCO: Implement it.
XO_McRae says:
::runs the scans of the disturbance again.::
FCO_Ranahi says:
::frowns, trying to estimate a safe distance::  CO: Aye, sir.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: Floods the anomaly with nadion particles, hoping to close the rift.::
CEO_Dominica says:
*CO*: that.. better? Umm yes sir.. if you say so sir
Host EvilSM says:
ACTION: the Science console tie in at OPS starts with the blinky lights [TM] like it's found something
OPS_Korlak says:
CO: Science has found something... checking results now.
CO_Jorgaenson says:
::sighs, you can't make everyone happy::
CO_Jorgaenson says:
OPS: Let me know when you have enough to report
CEO_Dominica says:
::moves to the impulse drive to check for damage::
CO_Jorgaenson says:
FCO: Did you establish a safe distance yet?
Host EvilSM says:
ACTION: Nadians don't seem to be making and difference
CEO_Dominica says:
::the shuddering cracked a hinge that holds the full cells in place.. sends 2 crew members to seal the crack and re-inforce the bulkhead::
FCO_Ranahi says:
CO: I think so, sir.
OPS_Korlak says:
CO: Captain, apparently Science has calculated the trajectory of the course the disturbance is running along, and has extrapolated a destination somewhere in the DiKor system. It's only about 20 minutes from here at maximum warp.
CO_Jorgaenson says:
FCO: Engage
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: grumbles at the Nadion failure, and continues  to scan the anomaly.::
FCO_Ranahi says:
CO: Aye, sir.  ::engages::
OPS_Korlak says:
::passes coordinates along to the FCO::
XO_McRae says:
CO: My scans show the same results as Mr. Korlak's.
FCO_Ranahi says:
::receives the co-ordinates::  CO: I have the co-ordinates, Captain.
CO_Jorgaenson says:
FCO: Why don't you take us on the course the OPS, and the XO have arrived at if they are still an established safe distance.
FCO_Ranahi says:
CO: Aye, sir.  Engaging at maximum warp.
CEO_Dominica says:
*Bridge* the IDF and deflectors are keeping us steady.. but I'm not sure how well the adjustments will work the closer we get
CO_Jorgaenson says:
*CEO*: We intend to maintain safe distance Mr. Dominica.
FCO_Ranahi says:
::engages the warp engines::
CEO_Dominica says:
*CO*: good!
Host EvilSM says:
ACTION: the Tal-war engages at Warp 9.  The energy spike is noticeable in engineering
CO_Jorgaenson says:
OPS: Long range scans?
OPS_Korlak says:
CO: I'm putting a display of the DiKor system on your personal screen, Captain. It lays somewhere on the Federation's coreward border.
CO_Jorgaenson says:
XO: All CEO's are alike!
CEO_Dominica says:
::scratches at fur and grumbles as the power distribution from the warp core falls from the strain on the ship::
XO_McRae says:
CO: I know, they never remember it's my ship, not theirs.
OPS_Korlak says:
CO: Implementing now, Captain. ::programs in a long-range scan of the DiKor system, checking primarily for distortions and disturbances, but also for vessels on the off-chance::
CO_Jorgaenson says:
XO: ::just looks an aside at the XO and doesn't bother to comment::
FCO_Ranahi says:
CO: Captain, I'm still detecting the gravimetric distortions here.
CO_Jorgaenson says:
FCO: Are they going to affect us too much to continue?
Host EvilSM says:
ACTION: the disturbance is all the way from one place to the other
FCO_Ranahi says:
CO: Not if we stay clear of it, sir.
CEO_Dominica says:
::keeps watching the main console for any MORE problems the XO is causing::
OPS_Korlak says:
CO: Suggest we inform Starfleet Command and have this area of space blockaded to protect civilian traffic.
CO_Jorgaenson says:
FCO: Maintain a safe distance but stay close enough to get information.
FCO_Ranahi says:
OPS: ::quietly:: Does that look like a trail to you?
FCO_Ranahi says:
CO: Yes, sir.
CO_Jorgaenson says:
OPS: Good suggestion Mr. Korlak, implement it.
OPS_Korlak says:
FCO: ::loudly:: I believe so.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: deploys a warning beacon.::
XO_McRae says:
::boosts sensor power to get more detail of what's at the other end::
FCO_Ranahi says:
FCO: Captain, this looks like a trail.
CO_Jorgaenson says:
FCO/OPS: Suggestions gentlemen?
OPS_Korlak says:
CO: Aye, Captain. ::sends details of scans and coordinates to the nearest starbase, advising they blockade the area immediately::
Host EvilSM says:
ACTION: A single ship is in orbit of the planet of a barren world in the DiKor system...where the trail seems to stop
OPS_Korlak says:
CO: I would suggest that the cause, as it were not at the end we started, may well be at the end we're heading to.
Host EvilSM says:
ACTION: 15 mins ETA
FCO_Ranahi says:
::checks sensors::  CO: The trail stops at a ship, sir.  We'll be there in 15 minutes.
CO_Jorgaenson says:
OPS: Engage long range sensors please.      Whose ship?
OPS_Korlak says:
CO: Scanning now.
FCO_Ranahi says:
CO: The ship's in orbit of one of the planets in this system.
OPS_Korlak says:
::tries to get an ID on the ship::
CO_Jorgaenson says:
::waits for an ID::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
::Scans for weapons and armament.::
CO_Jorgaenson says:
::can bet its not the USS Lollipop::
OPS_Korlak says:
::Frowns, and twiddles the scanning controls;:
CO_Jorgaenson says:
OPS: Mr. Korlak?       I would like to know friend or foe before it starts shooting at us.
OPS_Korlak says:
CO: The ship is of ch... cur... kor... Q'Orphod ::spits out some phlegm:: origin.
FCO_Ranahi says:
::looks at Korlak in horror::
CO_Jorgaenson says:
OPS: Hail the ship
OPS_Korlak says:
CO: Aye, Captain. Hailing now.
OPS_Korlak says:
::wonders why the FCO is looking at him like that::
OPS_Korlak says:
CO: ::angrily:: They are not responding to our hails!
FCO_Ranahi says:
::checks himself and goes back to his console, looking for lifeforms::
CO_Jorgaenson says:
OPS: Well that is not very neighborly of them.
Host EvilSM says:
ACTION:  whoever is science scanning notices something strange about the ship
OPS_Korlak says:
::wishes he knew who the Q'Orphod were::
Host EvilSM says:
ACTION: ETA 5 mins
XO_McRae says:
::notices something strange about the ship::
FCO_Ranahi says:
CO: ETA in 5 minutes, Captain.  ::swallows hard::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
CO: Suggest red alert.:
XO_McRae says:
CO: There's something strange about that ship.
CO_Jorgaenson says:
CTO: I thought we already were at red alert?
OPS_Korlak says:
CO: Suggest alternative means of communication, in case they do not use the same methods we do.
CO_Jorgaenson says:
XO: I agree, I would like to know more about it.
CEO_Dominica says:
::leaves ME and goes to the bridge::
CO_Jorgaenson says:
OPS: Fine, try radio and sonar.
Host EvilSM says:
ACTION: The TL the CEO is in takes a long time getting there
FCO_Ranahi says:
::checks for lifeforms on the planet surface::
OPS_Korlak says:
::programs the computer to implement every known communication method in order of frequency of use amongst non-Federation races::
CO_Jorgaenson says:
CTO: Fine, if we were not at red alert now would be a good time.
XO_McRae says:
CO: That ship is pure Q'Orphod construction.  Normally their ships are amalgamations of other ships.  This may be serious.
Host EvilSM says:
ACTION: Two lifeforms on the surface
CO_Jorgaenson says:
OPS: Anything else the scans are picking up?
OPS_Korlak says:
::checks the Eaziscan[TM] output::
FCO_Ranahi says:
CO: I'm detecting 2 lifeforms on the surface, Captain.
Host EvilSM says:
ACTION: Both lifeforms scan as Q'Orphod's
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
CO: CAPTAIN suggest red alert!!:
FCO_Ranahi says:
::turns to Jorgaenson:: CO: They're both Q'Orphod, sir.
CO_Jorgaenson says:
CTO: I said to put the ship on red alert five minutes ago Lt. Cmdr. Ravenprowler
XO_McRae says:
::begins detailed scan of Q'Orphod ship and systems to get a better idea of what they're up against::
CO_Jorgaenson says:
XO: Why don't you bring up our latest intelligence on these beings.
OPS_Korlak says:
CO: Confirming the FCO's readings, Captain.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: raises red alert the klaxon sounds.::
XO_McRae says:
CO: Aye.  ::pulls up everything he can on the Q'Orphod::
FCO_Ranahi says:
XO: Commander, maybe we should go check those two out - they don't appear to be heavily armed.  We might find out what's going on with those distortions.
Host EvilSM says:
ACTION: the Tal-War nears the point of orbit of the planet
FCO_Ranahi says:
CO: We're in orbit, Captain.
XO_McRae says:
FCO: Not yet, may be read as a threat and we might want to hold off on that for a couple of minutes.
CO_Jorgaenson says:
FCO: Thank you Mr. Ranahi.
CO_Jorgaenson says:
XO: The information?
FCO_Ranahi says:
XO: Er, okay, sir.
CEO_Dominica says:
::FINALLY... gets to the bridge::
XO_McRae says:
CO: Waiting for it to come up.
CO_Jorgaenson says:
FCO: Maintain a stationary orbit for now.
OPS_Korlak says:
::surprised the other ship has not responded to their presence::
CEO_Dominica says:
::folds arms and stands there looking around::
FCO_Ranahi says:
CO: Aye, sir.  Stationary orbit.  ::maintains an orbit::
CEO_Dominica says:
::moves over next to the CTO and looks over her shoulder::
XO_McRae says:
::scans the lifeforms on the ground to see if he can find out what kind of equipment they're using to get a better idea of their intent::
XO_McRae says:
::looks back at computer and sees that the information on the Q'Orphod still hasn't come up::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: targets the ship and locks  a cobalt torpedo, phasers, quantum torpedo, and standard photon torpedoes.::
CEO_Dominica says:
::watches the CTO and hisses:: CTO: what kind of ship is that?
CO_Jorgaenson says:
XO: Remind me next time we get to a Starbase to give the library an overhaul Quinn.
XO_McRae says:
CO: There's a bioelectrical signal coming from the surface.  It's right near the Q'Orphod lifeforms.  Trying to get more on it now.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
CEO: Q'Orphod.:
XO_McRae says:
CO: I'll probably just delete it and reload it.
CEO_Dominica says:
CTO: tis? hmmrrph.. what kind of atmosphere is inside it? Liquid or air?
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: growls at the CEO, and thinks should I kill it now or later, smiles:: CEO: Bioelectric gel
XO_McRae says:
::tries a different tactic for getting information on the Q'Orphod and wonders if there's a card catalog::
Host EvilSM says:
ACTION: Still no response and no scans of any use from the Q’Orphod vessel
CO_Jorgaenson says:
OPS: What is wrong with the scans?
OPS_Korlak says:
::frowns at the results::
CEO_Dominica says:
CEO: hmmr one of the old ones.. then those on the surface would be wearing suits to breathe.. 
FCO_Ranahi says:
XO: We're still getting nothing from our scans, sir,
OPS_Korlak says:
CO: Either something is blocking them, or there is literally nothing there, Captain.
CEO_Dominica says:
CO: sir.. you might wish to adjust your sensors to scan for the electrical signals that are similar to the liquid based atmosphere of the ship
XO_McRae says:
FCO: Boost power and try again.  ::goes back to his scans of the surface to figure out what the bioelectric signal is::
CO_Jorgaenson says:
CEO: Excellent Mr. Dominica.
CO_Jorgaenson says:
OPS: Did you follow that Mr. Korlak?
FCO_Ranahi says:
::continues to scan, shaking his head, as he know it won't work::
OPS_Korlak says:
CO: I believe so, Captain. Attempting to re-scan.
XO_McRae says:
CO: Basically, the Q'Orphod are a refugee race.  Got an idea though.
CO_Jorgaenson says:
XO: Shoot Mr. McRae
Host EvilSM says:
ACTION: the science scan of the bio-electric gel indicates that is surrounds one of the lifeforms...which appears to be slightly different from the other lifeform although they both register as Q’Orphod
XO_McRae says:
OPS: Send the following message to the Q'Orphod ship.  Riga is free, you can return home.
FCO_Ranahi says:
XO: Sir, it looks like one of the lifeforms isn't a full Q'Orphod.  Or something...
OPS_Korlak says:
XO: ::frowns:: er.. yes, Sir... ::sends the message on all frequencies::
CO_Jorgaenson says:
::impatiently awaiting new information::
Host EvilSM says:
ACTION: Still no response from the ship
OPS_Korlak says:
CO: Scans are still negative, Captain.
FCO_Ranahi says:
XO: Commander, I really think we need to go find out what's going on down there.
CO_Jorgaenson says:
OPS: Do nothing that is overtly aggressive.
Host EvilSM says:
ACTION: several lifeforms actually show up on scans of the planet as being in bubbles of this gel
Host EvilSM says:
ACTION: Sensors detect a bio-electric discharge
Host EvilSM says:
ACTION: Sensors detect a bio-electric discharge on the surface
XO_McRae says:
FCO: So do I.
OPS_Korlak says:
CO: Surface scans are showing lifeforms in bubbles of bio-electric gel.
CO_Jorgaenson says:
XO: Prepare an away team Commander.
CO_Jorgaenson says:
XO: I don't suppose you will let me go Quinn.          ::sigh::
XO_McRae says:
OPS, CTO: You're with me.  CTO, get a security team together and meet us in transporter room1.
XO_McRae says:
CO: No, I wouldn't.
FCO_Ranahi says:
::self::  Great.  I'm the one who gets this team set up, and I have to stay here and fly, as usual.....
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
XO: Aye Sir.:
Host EvilSM says:
ACTION: Sensors also now detect some form of transporter signature to a previously undetected ship 2000 meters of the port side of the Tal-war
CO_Jorgaenson says:
XO: You never let me have any fun.         ::grin::
OPS_Korlak says:
::nods to the XO, waits for a faceless ensign to take his console, then gets up and heads towards the turbolift::
CO_Jorgaenson says:
XO: Okay Commander, have your fun but come back safe or you will have to answer to me.        ::grin::
OPS_Korlak says:
::enters the TL at a jog::
Host EvilSM says:
ACTION: The tactical system goes absolutely nuts as one 'mother ship' (galaxy class size) and 12 scout class size vessel appear out of nowhere seemingly de-cloaking
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: calls a TO to take her station and sends a priority message to Alpha Tac team to assemble in the TR, weapons and armament.:
FCO_Ranahi says:
CO: Captain, incoming vessels!
CO_Jorgaenson says:
CTO: Maintain red alert.
XO_McRae says:
::enters the TL:: CTO: Don't forget to have your team bring a few extra weapons.  Big ones.
CEO_Dominica says:
CO: sir.. sensors are picking up a  bio-electric discharge  .. and a transporter signature.. something is going on on the surface
OPS_Korlak says:
::grins at the XO's comment to the CTO::
Host EvilSM says:
ACTION: Sensors confirm these ships as the source of the gravimetric disturbance
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: leaves the bridge for the TR one bat'leth in hand.::
XO_McRae says:
TL: TR1.
CO_Jorgaenson says:
::thinks about calling the team off::
FCO_Ranahi says:
CO: Confirming the ships as the source of the gravimetric distortions, Captain.
Host EvilSM says:
ACTION: The unphased ships turn towards the Q’Orphod ship ..and shoot it with some sort of concentrated bio energy....and then leave
CO_Jorgaenson says:
*XO*: This just got weirder, belay the team.
Host EvilSM says:
ACTION: ...at high warp
XO_McRae says:
*CO*: Okay.
CO_Jorgaenson says:
OPS: Scans of the surface?
XO_McRae says:
TL: Return to bridge.
Host EvilSM says:
ACTION: Communications system indicates a high priority incoming message from SFC
XO_McRae says:
::arrives back on bridge::
OPS_Korlak says:
<OPS_Urgle> CO: Checking now, Captain.
FCO_Ranahi says:
CO: Captain, the ships have just attacked the Q'Orphod vessel.
CO_Jorgaenson says:
OPS: Oh for the love of Pete, send the message to my viewer please.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: glances at the XO and returns to her station.::
XO_McRae says:
*OPS, CTO*: AT cancelled, return to your posts.
OPS_Korlak says:
<OPS_Urgle> CO: Message onscreen now, Captain
CO_Jorgaenson says:
XO: The ship was just destroyed by a fleet of uncloaked ships
XO_McRae says:
::steps over to science and does high level scans of the new ships::
Host EvilSM says:
ACTION: As the OPS transfers the message....EVERY SINGLE VIEWER AND TERMINAL on the ship goes black and is replaced by a Greek symbol.
FCO_Ranahi says:
::looks at his terminal::  What the -?
OPS_Korlak says:
::arrives back on the bridge just in time to see something weird on the viewscreen::
XO_McRae says:
::self:: sonuva...
CO_Jorgaenson says:
OPS: Never mind, I'll take this in the ready room
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: pushes  the TO out of the way and tries to reacquire locks on the ship.::

CO: okay.
CO_Jorgaenson says:
XO: It's okay Quinn, I'll let you know if I can.
XO_McRae says:
::uses a PADD to connect to the computer systems::
FCO_Ranahi says:
CO: Captain, we've lost helm control ::shrugs, as it's the only possible explanation he can give::
OPS_Korlak says:
::notices Urgle trying to get his terminal to work again, and tries to help him get it working::
Host EvilSM says:
ACTION: PADD has Greek symbol on it
CO_Jorgaenson says:
::enters the Ready Room and tries to be ready::
XO_McRae says:
::throws PADD at the wall::
OPS_Korlak says:
Computer: Status report?
FCO_Ranahi says:
XO: Commander, maybe we should contact Engineering?
XO_McRae says:
FCO: Nothing engineering can do about this one.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
CO: weapons are down:
FCO_Ranahi says:
XO: Sir?
XO_McRae says:
::opens up console and rewires it to see if he can get back some ship control::
FCO_Ranahi says:
::still can't do anything with his console, is at a total loss::
OPS_Korlak says:
XO: What about auxiliary control?
Host EvilSM says:
ACTION: Rewiring still results in the Greek letter
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: checks to see if the Battle bridge is online.::
Host EvilSM says:
ACTION: letter looks like a round a with no cross bar
XO_McRae says:
OPS: It won't work, but try.  I'm thinking Starfleet has decided to hold our ship for a moment.
FCO_Ranahi says:
XO: Maybe we should jump start the ship.....::with a hint of sarcasm::
Host EvilSM says:
ACTION: No interface is available
CO_Jorgaenson says:
::exits the ready room looking like Atlas gave her the world to hold::
OPS_Korlak says:
::heads off back to the TL::
OPS_Korlak says:
TL: Auxiliary control.
XO_McRae says:
CO: Captain?
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: Moves to the dedicated turboelevator, and tries to go directly to the Battle bridge.::
Host EvilSM says:
ACTION: TL non-responsive
FCO_Ranahi says:
XO: Starfleet can do that?  ::notices the Captain re-enter::  CO: Captain on the bridge.
 OPS_Korlak says: 
::Growls at the voice input in the TL, and punches it in frustration::
Host EvilSM says:
ACTION: TL input breaks
 FCO_Ranahi says:
::listens to the Captain::
CO_Jorgaenson says:
All: Cease and desist, you will only break something if you keep trying.       I have to take care of this myself ::swallows nervously, loud enough for everyone to hear, of all the CO's they trust with THIS...::
Host EvilSM says:
