Host CO_O`Guinn says:
:;sits down at the head of the table:: ALL: Now on to more important things.... It seems our unidentified black ship has been making appearances in the area.... I am going to ask Cmdr Krakalovich to tell you what he knows then I want suggestions on where to go from here.
TO_McKlane says:
::sits at the conference room::
XO_Kyrron says:

::Listens carefuly::
OPS_B`lee says:

::listens::
Host Chris_N says:
<Krakalovich> ::clears throat then stands::  ALL: As you probably have guessed... I'm Commander Jeffrey Krakalovich, Starfleets assigned commander in this region of space and I'm responsible for all Starfleet matters that go on here...
FCO_Shania says:
::waits for the blabla to be over and the important stuff to come::
TO_McKlane says:
ALL:Is this ship hostile?
XO_Kyrron says:
TO:  Quiet.
Nefyavie (~Nefyavie@actdnet-3EB09C1F.sd.sd.cox.net) has joined the conversation.
Host Chris_N says:
<Krakalovich> ALL: Speaking with your Commanding Officer earlier  ::motions to the CO::  it seems that you have directly encountered the black vessel which up until now has yet to be verified as existing
OPS_B`lee says:
::wonders why any of them would have guessed that ... or cared, for that matter::
Host CO_O`Guinn says:
::nods to Kyrron::
Host Chris_N says:
<Krakalovich> ::looks to the TO::  TO: If the reports are true it is.  Considering your own encounter earlier I'd say a definate yes.
XO_Kyrron says:
::doesn't notice the CO's nod as is daydreaming::
Host Chris_N says:
<Krakalovich> ALL: Now this, or possibly these, vessels have been suggested to be hopping through time, they are completely undetectable save for the Triolic Waves
OPS_B`lee says:
::wonders if Krakalovich would mind if he started juggling again::
XO_Kyrron says:
::wonders what triolic waves are::
warp9 (~warp9@actdnet-1380D5E6.abhsia.telus.net) has joined the conversation.
Host Chris_N says:
<Krakalovich> ALL: When they have or will be travelling through a manufactured temporal anomaly, we can also expect to detect the Chronoton Particles in the area.
Host CO_O`Guinn says:
Krakalovich: Undetectable do you mean they have clocking capablilities?
XO_Kyrron says:
::wonders if their sensors are configured to pick these triolic and chronoton thingies up::
Host Chris_N says:
<Krakalovich> ::stops hearing the CO::  CO: No...  ::looking slightly to the side::  I wouldn't say that exactly, their hull is unreadable, their powersource is also the same, and with their dark colour in this distant thinned out star part of the galaxy, they blend in visually with the background.
OPS_B`lee says:
::mutters:: All: Stealth technology...
Host Chris_N says:
<Krakalovich> ALL: I believe one of yur ship reports show how you only detected the ship as it passed infront of the planet Khitomer
Host CO_O`Guinn says:
Krakalovich: Sensors can't pick the ship up?
OPS_B`lee says:
::thinks he's probably the only member of the crew to be around long enough to remember that mission::
XO_Kyrron says:
::eyes glass over as her thoughts drift::
Host Chris_N says:
<Krakalovich> OPS: That's very possible Lieutenant, or perhaps their hull and powersource is completely unknown to us and therefore undetectable by our sensors.  Who's to say?
CSO_Asmodeius says:
::Look over at the OPS and shakes his head::
Host Chris_N says:
<Krakalovich> CO: Exactly Captain.
OPS_B`lee says:
::sticks his tongue out at Asmodeius::
CSO_Asmodeius says:
::Smiles::
XO_Kyrron says:
::wakes from her reverie long enough to give OPS a stern look::
Host Chris_N says:
<Krakalovich> ::notes the OPS Officer's reaction and looks to the CO to see if he caught it::
OPS_B`lee says:
::sticks his tongue out at Kyrron::
Host CO_O`Guinn says:
::shakes his head trying not to mutter to h imself then gives up:: Self: I hate mysteries.
SO_Shack says:
::Smiles when notices OPS::
Host Chris_N says:
<Krakalovich> ::clears throat sternly looking at OPS befor continuing::
XO_Kyrron says:
::does the slice with finger across throught motion towards OPS::
XO_Kyrron says:
<thought=throat>
OPS_B`lee says:
::sees Krakalovich looking at him and straightens up:: All: Umm ... tongue excercises help me concentrate.
Host Chris_N says:
<Krakalovich> ::raised voice::  ALL: If we are ALL READY to continue....
TO_McKlane says:
Krakalovich:What exactly do you want to do about this ship tactically sir?
CSO_Asmodeius says:
::Kicks the OPS's leg from under the table to make him mind his manners::
XO_Kyrron says:
TO:  Find it for starters.
Host CO_O`Guinn says:
TO: We will get to that shortly.
Host Chris_N says:
::nods at the XO:: TO: ...and try diplomatic resolutions... talk to them.
Host Chris_N says:
<<Krakalovich> in front of last>
XO_Kyrron says:
Kravalovich:  And if they make a time jump are we expected to follow them?
SO_Shack says:
Krakalovich: We have to find them first
CSO_Asmodeius says:
XO: Sir if they use a Triolic drive we should be able to track them as it does seem to be the case, sir.
Host Chris_N says:
<Krakalovich> ALL: Now, two years ago when the Luna was assigned to the area, we were having what was thought to be alot of pirate activity but the freighters still had their entire cargo hold full of supplies and many useful substances... the crew however had gone missing.
XO_Kyrron says:
::nods at the CSO glad to see his confidence in his department::
Host Chris_N says:
<Krakalovich> ::nods at the CSO:: CSO: Exactly, now we believe teh Triolic Waves are simply a bi-product, or waste from whatever energy source they DO use
OPS_B`lee says:
CSO: How do you propose we track them through a temporal anomaly, Asmo? This is what a triolic drive creates and, last I checked, we couldn't travel through one of those.
Host CO_O`Guinn says:
::makes mental note to pull up the logs from Starfleet Database::
SO_Shack says:
Krakalovich: Has any of the crew missing was seen since then?
CSO_Asmodeius says:
OPS: They will leave a Chrono siganature that we can track, just like a warp siganture but instead it is a Chrono signature.
Host Chris_N says:
<Krakalovich> ::shakes head::  SO: We have yet to receive any reports of the such
SO_Shack says:
::Nods at Krakalovich::
XO_Kyrron says:
::has every confiendence the crew will find a way to locate the ship.  Is more concerned about what happens when they find it::
OPS_B`lee says:
CSO: You're talking about an event similar to a subspace corridor ... the entrance and exit of the anomaly may not even be within scanning range of each other.
CSO_Asmodeius says:
OPS: But with the deflector dish we can extend our range out to two light years or more if we are lucky.
Host Chris_N says:
<Krakalovich> ALL: Beyond that, we do not have any official reports, however I have asked the Ambassador from the Sekloth Order to come and explain his people religious beliefs in the matter. ::looking to the CO questioningly::
OPS_B`lee says:
::thinks the CSO has a lot of grandeous plans but it will be B'lee who has to try to make them possible::
XO_Kyrron says:
::tries not to roll her eyes::
Host Chris_N says:
<edit his people to "her people">
Host CO_O`Guinn says:
Krakalovich: That might be helpful.
Host Chris_N says:
::nods at the CO and presses a button at his seats terminal::
Host Chris_N says:
<Krakalovich>
XO_Kyrron says:
::wonders what religious beliefs could possibly have to do with reality::
OPS_B`lee says:
::skeptically:: CO: How will that be helpful?
CSO_Asmodeius says:
OPS: You will never know when helpful info may come from the past.
OPS_B`lee says:
CO: How will that be anything but a waste of time?
Host Chris_N says:
<Thisah>  ::steps into the room wearing a brown hooded robe covering him head to toe with his hands and fingers linked together in steeple format in front of him... the expose hands and face are reptilian::
Host CO_O`Guinn says:
OPS: Any information you can get even in other peoples beliefs could be helpful and considering we don't have much to go on I will take what I can.
Nefyavie (~Nefyavie@actdnet-3EB09C1F.sd.sd.cox.net) has left the conversation.
OPS_B`lee says:
All: Hmph! ::crosses his arms and sits back in his chair glaring at Asmodeius::
XO_Kyrron says:
::looks Thisah over::
Host Chris_N says:
<Thisah>  ::nods at the room approaching the table where Krakalovich has graciously stepped out of the way::
CSO_Asmodeius says:
::Feels the OPS's bitterness and wonders where that comes from::
SO_Shack says:
::Opens his eyes wide while looking at Thisah::
Host Chris_N says:
<Krakalovich> ::looks at the OPS Officer thinking he's not the best officer to have in the presence of Ambassadors::
XO_Kyrron says:
::waits for Thisah to speak::
CSO_Asmodeius says:
::Then realizes that the OPS is Bajoran and nods understandingly::
SO_Shack says:
::Wonders why FCO hasnt said a word since the beginning of the meeting::
Host Chris_N says:
<Thisah>  ::begins to speak... his voice is slurred with hiss and extended "S" sounds::  ALL: Greetings fine crew of the U.S.S. Tal-War, I am Ambassador Thisah and I also happen to be my people's Khotath or Religious Leader.
XO_Kyrron says:
::wishes reptile man would just get to the point::
OPS_B`lee says:
::thinks 'Kai Thisah'::
CSO_Asmodeius says:
::Feels the tension mount as the meeting progressess::
Host Chris_N says:
<Thisah> All: Commander Krakalovich has been gracious enough to bring me hear to speak to your about our religious beliefs concerning these black vessels, or what my people refer to as, Dark Vessels...
XO_Kyrron says:
::waits impatiently::
Host Chris_N says:
<Thisah> ALL: These vessels are very evident in my people's history.  ::presses a key on the console bringing up a holo image of a black vessel clearly not the same as the one seen by the Tal-War and far more immense::  Is this the vessel you saw?
SO_Shack says:
::Starts to knock with his fingers on the table::
OPS_B`lee says:
::rolls his eyes and looks away from the console::
XO_Kyrron says:
::shakes her head::
SO_Shack says:
::Looks at holo image::
Host Chris_N says:
<Thisah> ::presses another key seeing the XO::  ALL: This one?
XO_Kyrron says:
::nods::
Host CO_O`Guinn says:
::watches his crew making mental notes as he catches expressions::
Host CO_O`Guinn says:
Thisah: Aye that is the ship.
CSO_Asmodeius says:
::Nods::
SO_Shack says:
::Nods::
Host Chris_N says:
<Thisah>  ::nods appreciatively::  ALL: These are images caught by our vessels several hundred years ago.  History reports that a race in the past defeated them forcing them back to where they came from, beyond our galaxy, and created a great wall which you call the Galactic Barrier.
TO_McKlane says:
::nods::
XO_Kyrron says:
::surrepitiously takes out  PADD and makes like she's taking notes::
SO_Shack says:
Thisah: I guess this wall fell apart....
XO_Kyrron says:
::is actually composing a reply to her ex-finance's message::
Host Chris_N says:
<Thisah> SO: I agree... there must be a section of it atleast which has collapsed.  I would summise that it must be in this region of space since they are appearing here.
SO_Shack says:
::Nods::
Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: A Starfleet crewman quietly enters the room and whispers in Commander Krakalovich's ear
CSO_Asmodeius says:
::Sounds reasonable and nods::
SO_Shack says:
Thisah: So how are we detecting this "wall"?
OPS_B`lee says:
::incredulously:: Thisah: You want us to fly up to the Galactic Barrier and ... repair it?
Host Chris_N says:
<Krakalovich> ::stands::  Thisah: My apologies for interrupting Ambassador...

warp9 is now known as XO_Kyrron.
Host Chris_N says:
<Krakalovich> ALL: Tal-War crew.. Captain...  We have just received an SOS from the planet Juyun.  It seems a massive vessel has just crashed into the planet.  It is far larger than anything they have ever seen before.

Host Chris_N says:
<Krakalovich> CO: Commander, I regret to inform you that the Tal-War is still unavailable for use.  I can give you Runabout St. Lawrence for use by you and your Senior Staff
XO_Kyrron says:
::finishes and saves her message::
Host Chris_N says:
<Krakalovich> CO: This far out Captain, you are the only Starfleet vessel available
OPS_B`lee says:
::groans:: Krakalovich: I say we make it available!
SO_Shack says:
::Wonders if it will be a little too cozy in the runabout::
Host Chris_N says:
<Krakalovich> ::shakes head::  OPS: That is beyond my control Lieutenant
OPS_B`lee says:
::doubts that::
Host CO_O`Guinn says:
Krakalovich: You want me to take a Runabout into a possible hostile situation? Have you completely lost your mind commander?
OPS_B`lee says:
CO: Permission to ... repossess the Tal-War, sir? ::through gritted teeth::
SO_Shack says:
Krakalovich: Any other ships in the area?
Host Chris_N says:
<Krakalovich> CO: If you have a problem with this, I suggest you take it up with Starfleet Command, for now, my orders stand.  You hear me MR. O'Guinn?
CSO_Asmodeius says:
::Wonders if Mr. Krakolich is really him? So tries to sense him::
Host CO_O`Guinn says:
Krakalovich: Last I saw we are of the same rank would you like to try that one again?
TO_McKlane says:
Krakalovich:Isn't there something bigger?
OPS_B`lee says:
::looks to Kyrron::
OPS_B`lee says:
::barks:: TO: Yes! The Tal-War!
Host Chris_N says:
<Krakalovich> CO: We are the same rank Commander, but the only difference is...  this is MY region of space, I AM in COMMAND here Commander.
CSO_Asmodeius says:
::Shakes his head as he really is who he seems to be::
XO_Kyrron says:
::is getting impatient with all this::
Host Chris_N says:
<Krakalovich> CO: You could be a Captain and I still have authority over you Commander, now snap to it Mr...  ::exits the room::
SO_Shack says:
Krakalovich: Is there any chance of getting 2 runabouts?
OPS_B`lee says:
CO/XO: I say we just take the Tal-War...
XO_Kyrron says:
CO:  Captain.  It's an information gathering misison.  If the runabout is fully equipped scientifically, I suggest we send a skeleton crew.
Host CO_O`Guinn says:
Krakalovich: Aye and I am in command of the Tal-war and her crew and I will not place my crew in danger through stupidity.
XO_Kyrron says:
::stands::
CSO_Asmodeius says:
OPS: What if the Tal-War is getting an upgrade that will help us later, would you stop that for the sake of protection when it might not be necessary.
OPS_B`lee says:
::has long since been on his feet and is just waiting for the order::
Host Chris_N says:
<Thisah> CO: Please excuse the Commander, he is under a great deal of stress over the last two years and after all, you just questioned his authority.  ::would smile if his reptilian face could::
CSO_Asmodeius says:
CO: I agree with the XO sir.
TO_McKlane says:
Krakalovich:Are there any ships like a frigate or something we could use?It doesnt have to big but powerful enough to hold its own.
OPS_B`lee says:
CSO: Yes ... it's MY ship!
Host CO_O`Guinn says:
::turns anger very appearant on his face:: ALL: As you were.
XO_Kyrron says:

Host Chris_N says:
<Thisah> CO: Please calm yourself Commander.  Violence is not the way.
SO_Shack says:
CO: Captain, i believe the station is able to send a type 4 probe to the crash site....
