FCO_Shania says:
XO: Well, at least what we know what we had....
Host XO_Jameson says:
OPS: Continue course.  What was in the file that the Admiral sent?
CIV-Exeter says:
XO: Looks like we'll be doing fetch and carry for some Admiral, because she's to lazy to handle it herself.
Host XO_Jameson says:
::Looks stonily at the CIV::  CIV: Or it's a type of test, trying to feel out the new ship under her jurisdiction?
OPS_Ens_Fielding says:
XO: The file is level 10 encrypted.

::Glances over at the beeping::  CIV: I think that might be for you?  ::Raises an eyebrow::
CIV-Exeter says:
:;walks towards the Tactical console and checks what the beep is:; Self: So this is what a tactical console feels like.
CIV-Exeter says:
::looks up and checks the coordinates:: XO: Looks like we have a job to do. I got a ship on sensors which is emitting a distress call.
OPS_Ens_Fielding says:
CIV: Interesting
Host XO_Jameson says:
CIV: Put it on speakers
Host XO_Jameson says:
OPS: Let me know which other SF vessels are nearby
CIV-Exeter says:

XO: The Tal-war is the closest vessel ma'am, the second nearest vessel is 2 days away.
OPS_Ens_Fielding says:
XO: Apologies.
Host XO_Jameson says:
::Looks up at the Ops::  OPS: There's no need to apologise.  I'm not in the habit of shooting the messenger
Host XO_Jameson says:
FCO: Amend course, take us towards the distress signal.
Host XO_Jameson says:
OPS/CIV: Can either of you give me the reason for the signal?
CIV-Exeter says:
XO: Plugged the distress call to the speakers, ma'am :: his hands rush over the console like he had never done anything else for the last few years::
OPS_Ens_Fielding says:
XO: Glad of it.
FCO_Shania says:
XO: Aye ::plots new course to the ship::
Host XO_Jameson says:
OPS/CIV: Are we sure that this is genuine?
Host SM_Martijn says:
ACTION: As the distress call is transferred through the speakers the bridge crew can hear a computer voice stating the words..  "General Distress.... U.S.S. Westsix...."

CIV-Exeter says:
XO: She isn't transponding her normal registry code, but according to the Database the USS Westsix is Missing in Action
Host XO_Jameson says:
CIV: How close do we have to be before we can get sensor readings?
CIV-Exeter says:
XO: Just gimme a second, I'm a flyboy first after that a tactical officer.
Host XO_Jameson says:
FCO: Stop us just when we are in sensor range of the vessel Shania
Host XO_Jameson says:
FCO: I want to see who's on there before we get too close
FCO_Shania says:
XO: Understood
Host XO_Jameson says:
OPS: Open communications with the vessel
CIV-Exeter says:
::sends the Co-ordinates of the Westsix through to the FCO:: FCO: ETA is 5 minutes
OPS_Ens_Fielding says:
FCO: Are we in comm range?
FCO_Shania says:
CIV: Thanks there.
Host XO_Jameson says:
OPS: If we got a distress signal from them, we can find a way to contact them
OPS_Ens_Fielding says:
XO: Attempting to establish communication.
CIV-Exeter says:
::quickly start doing a run of SF database on the Westsix::
Host SM_Martijn says:
ACTION: As the crew of the Tal-War desperately tries to contact the U.S.S. Westsix the result remains the same... nothing....  What happened to the Westsix?  Join us next week and find out!
