::looking over the TAC console::
SO_Rya says:
::At science station one, firing up the sensors.::
Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The crew of USS Titan, now aboard USS Northampton, prepare to depart Starbase 360.
OPS_Marso says:
::sitting on the bridge at operations.. eyeing a flashing light as if her stare would make it stop::
CNS_Fletcher says:
:: In sickbay readjusting his knee brace::
OPS_Marso says:
COM: Starbase: request docking clamp release.
FCO_Jadahn says:
::on the Northampton at the helm, awaiting orders::
SO_Rya says:
::Smiles in satisfaction as the sensors all come on line.::
Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: Titan's CO, XO, CMO, and CSO remain behind on Starbase 360 to oversee the reconstruction of their ill fated vessel.
ACO_CTO_Scott_Madson says:
FCO: Take us out, nice and slowly. Set course for the Millbrae System, warp 6.
CNS_Fletcher says:
:: heads to the bridge::
Host Starbase_360 says:
COMM: Northampton, you are cleared to depart.
ACO_CTO_Scott_Madson says:
COMM: SB360: Thank you.
FCO_Jadahn says:
ACO: Aye sir... taking us out ::pilots the Northamptom out of dock::
OPS_Marso says:
COM: Starbase: thank you..  ::releases clamps from the base and watches the clamps and umbilical detach::
ACO_CTO_Scott_Madson says:
FCO: Warp 5, to the Millbrae System.
SO_Rya says:
::Begins downloading data on the Millbrae System and Norton research station.::
FCO_Jadahn says:
ACO: Aye aye.  Warp 5 it is.  :: engages to the Millbrae system at warp 5::
ACO_CTO_Scott_Madson says:
SO: How are the sensors looking?
OPS_Marso says:
FCO: we are clear.. ::blinks at the FCO:: never mind.. ::fidgets at the OPS station::
SO_Rya says:
ACO: They're looking good so far sir.
Host Starbase_360 says:
ACTION: The USS Northampton jumps to warp five.
ACO_CTO_Scott_Madson says:
SO: Thank you.  *CNS* How is your leg feeling?
OPS_Marso says:
::looks over the general ship operations and sensor array usage log::
SO_Rya says:
::Nods and smiles at Lt. Commander Madson and goes back to the computer data.::
Host Starbase_360 says:
COMM: NH: This is Starbase 360.  Please do not go to warp so close to the station again.
OPS_Marso says:
::blinks at the FCO::
CNS_Fletcher says:
:: Arrives on the bridge:: ACO: it could be better .
FCO_Jadahn says:
::frowns, annoyed at the Starbase:: Self: Meh... they can take it.
OPS_Marso says:
:: thinks .. I'm trying to drive you crazy with my stare and grins at the FCO.. then looks back at her console::
ACO_CTO_Scott_Madson says:
SO: Upon arrival to the system, I want a full scan.
CNS_Fletcher says:
::Walks over to the nearest console::
SO_Rya says:
ACO: Aye sir.
ACO_CTO_Scott_Madson says:
OPS: As soon as the SO confirms, there are no visible ships, I would you like to COMM the station, but wait for my order.
OPS_Marso says:
ACO: aye sir.. 
OPS_Marso says:
::pre-sets the communication frequencies and ship ID.. ready for arrival::
OPS_Marso says:
::turns in her chair and looks around at the bridge.. taking a glance at all the officers on the bridge::
ACO_CTO_Scott_Madson says:
CNS: I would like you to report to Engineering.  Make sure to keep the ship up and running.
ACO_CTO_Scott_Madson says:
CNS: And be careful with that leg.  ::smiles::
OPS_Marso says:
::stares at the ACO for a moment::
OPS_Marso says:
ACO: with all do respect sir..
ACO_CTO_Scott_Madson says:
OPS: Yes?
OPS_Marso says:
ACO: is the counselor.. capable of running engineering? 
CNS_Fletcher says:
ACO: Aye , Rya keep me informed on anything that comes up. :: heads for the TL::
SO_Rya says:
::Wonders briefly why the counselor always asks her to keep him informed, but shrugs and smiles.:: CNS: Aye sir.
OPS_Marso says:
::stands from her console:: ACO: sir.. I am the liaison to that department..
ACO_CTO_Scott_Madson says:
OPS: I think he is perfectly capable of running Engineering.  He has a staff down there to work with, and we are a little short of department heads right now.
CNS_Fletcher says:
~~~SO: Because no one else will ~~~~
SO_Rya says:
~~~~CNS: I'll do my best ~~~~
CNS_Fletcher says:
~~~SO: Thank you ~~~~
OPS_Marso says:
::bites lip at the obvious choice and turns to sit again::
CNS_Fletcher says:
:: Exits TL and walks to ME::
SO_Rya says:
ACO: Sir, the Millbrae System doesn't seem to have any significant astronomical features. It's got four planets orbiting around a red giant star.
OPS_Marso says:
::plops down in her chair and resumes watching the console.. a bit annoyed.. sighs and brings up the master control board display on a side window::
ACO_CTO_Scott_Madson says:
SO: Thanks.  Where was the starbase positioned in the system?
SO_Rya says:
::Continues to read out loud, because isn't everyone really fascinated by such things.:: ACO: The Research station is located in the asteroid belt that surrounds the star. It's possible the belt is the remains of a couple of planets.
CNS_Fletcher says:
:: Arrives into ME and sees the crew working nonstop. He checks the display and sees that everything is working right::
CNS_Fletcher says:
::I wish I studied up on more " Elder" ships like this::
ACO_CTO_Scott_Madson says:
SO: In the past, has the starbase ever reported loose asteroids or other such anomalies coming from the belt?
FCO_Jadahn says:
::monitors navigational sensors::
SO_Rya says:
ACO: The research station is a Genesis class station. All communication ceased on 10011.05.
SO_Rya says:
ACO: I'll check sir.
SO_Rya says:
::Returns to the data on the station and looks for the pertinent information.::
ACO_CTO_Scott_Madson says:
*CNS*: In case we arrive to the station, and find their crew is hurt somehow, I need you to take care of them in Sickbay.
OPS_Marso says:
::pokes at her console and looks at the FCO again::
CNS_Fletcher says:
::remembers manuals:: *FCO* how are things working up there. *ACO* Aye sir
SO_Rya says:
ACO: I'm not finding any records of such problems, but I'll continue to look for any unusual reports.
ACO_CTO_Scott_Madson says:
SO: Thank you.
SO_Rya says:
::Pulls up the last logs on file from research station personnel.::
FCO_Jadahn says:
::REB at OPS, then goes back to work::  *CNS* Everything is fine.  Why, have you noticed a problem?
SO_Rya says:
ACO: Oh, you're welcome Commander.
FCO_Jadahn says:
*CNS* Well, other than the ship being a little wimpy ::smiles::
OPS_Marso says:
::looks at the main view screen and the stars passing the ship::
CNS_Fletcher says:
*FCO* just wanted to know  ,It's a good ship so be nice .
FCO_Jadahn says:
*CNS* Right, right.
OPS_Marso says:
::taps a text message to the CNS in ME.. "I don't think the FCO likes me"::
FCO_Jadahn says:
::looks himself over, wondering if there is something wrong with him that makes him so fun to look at::
OPS_Marso says:
::drums fingers on the console and looks at the old tech info on the ship and worries::
CNS_Fletcher says:
OPS::: types back don't worry he's like that too new people::
FCO_Jadahn says:
::glances at OPS momentarily, worried::
OPS_Marso says:
::Types back.. "I STILL think he hates me.. he looks at me funny"::
SO_Rya says:
::Sighs as she reads through the logs.::
CNS_Fletcher says:
*FCO* be nice to the new OPS
SO_Rya says:
::The chief engineer seemed to be involved in a power struggle with the station's doctor, but that was the most interesting tidbit so far.::
Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: After the required flight time, the Millbrae System appears on long range sensors.
OPS_Marso says:
::eyes get wide and blushes.. wishes she could disappear in her chair::
SO_Rya says:
::Scans the system::
ACO_CTO_Scott_Madson says:
SO: What are the long-range sensors?
OPS_Marso says:
::has made a point NOT to look at the FCO the rest of the trip::
Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: There are no energy readings coming from the area where the research station is supposed to be.
SO_Rya says:
ACO: I'm not getting any energy readings from the research station's location.
OPS_Marso says:
::sits quietly at her station and looking at a general service record for the FCO and grins::
CNS_Fletcher says:
:: sees a red  light and does a little investigating to find out what it is::
ACO_CTO_Scott_Madson says:
OPS: Bring up the view screen.
SO_Rya says:
ACO: Other than that, sir, I don't see anything odd.
ACO_CTO_Scott_Madson says:
SO: You mean, there is no station?
OPS_Marso says:
::looks at the sensor array and checks to make sure it's working.. ::
FCO_Jadahn says:
::looks over sensors, finding everything to be normal::
SO_Rya says:
ACO: I don't know for certain, but I'm not getting any energy readings from it and there's no debris field.
OPS_Marso says:
::looks at the console and notices a mirror request from the FCO's console and frowns:: self: all right.. ::bites lip::
SO_Rya says:
::Increases the intensity of the scan::
CNS_Fletcher says:
:: it is a faulty EPS conduit , He gets a engineer to fix it::
OPS_Marso says:
SO: the sensor array appears to be functioning normally
SO_Rya says:
~~~~*CNS*: We've reached the system. The station appears to be missing .~~~~
ACO_CTO_Scott_Madson says:
SO: Are you sure? Keep me informed.
OPS_Marso says:
::stares hard at the FCO and frown.. thinks.. "I know you can hear this pal.. I know my job" huffs and looks at her station::
SO_Rya says:
OPS: Thanks Marso. ::Continues to fiddle with the sensors and tries to get a better reading of the region where the station was supposed to be.::
ACO_CTO_Scott_Madson says:
FCO: Take us in close to the station's position, but take it slowly, and keep us away from the asteroids.
CNS_Fletcher says:
~~~~*SO* : Thank you ~~~~~~
SO_Rya says:
::Looks up at the ACO and nods::
FCO_Jadahn says:
ACO: Aye sir.  ::maneuvers the ship slowly to the position and watches for asteroids in the meantime::
FCO_Jadahn says:
::chooses to park the ship in spot least likely to be in the path of an asteroid any time soon::
SO_Rya says:
::Double-checks her readings before clearing her throat:: ACO: Sir, I'm picking up increased neutrino and verteron emissions. I recommend we hold position until we know more.
Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The asteroids float placidly and ignore the USS Northampton.
ACO_CTO_Scott_Madson says:
SO: Ok.  FCO: Full stop.
CNS_Fletcher says:
:: the red light goes back to green and the guy he sent in comes back:: ENG: good job
ACO_CTO_Scott_Madson says:
SO: Can you give me the source of those emissions?
SO_Rya says:
ACO: I'm trying to isolate it now sir.
ACO_CTO_Scott_Madson says:
*CNS* Could you report to the bridge momentarily.
FCO_Jadahn says:
ACO: Aye sir, full stop ::gently stops the ship::
ACO_CTO_Scott_Madson says:
::raises shields::
OPS_Marso says:
::looks at all the floating rock and sighs::
SO_Rya says:
ACO: Neutrinos and verterons are found near wormholes.
SO_Rya says:
ACO: Permission to launch a probe at the station's coordinates?
CNS_Fletcher says:
:: leaves ME:: *ACO* on my way
ACO_CTO_Scott_Madson says:
SO: Thank you.
OPS_Marso says:
~~~FCO: WHY are you doing the same thing I am?! ~~~
OPS_Marso says:
::frowns at her console::
ACO_CTO_Scott_Madson says:
SO: Please do so.
SO_Rya says:
ACO: I'm picking up increased levels of emissions through out the entire asteroid belt.
FCO_Jadahn says:
~~~OPS: What? Uh... What? ~~~  ::looks over at OPS, questioningly::
CNS_Fletcher says:
::arrives on the bridge:: ACO: you wanted to see me
SO_Rya says:
ACO: Aye sir. ::begins preparing a probe, and as the computer works, checks the sensors again.::
OPS_Marso says:
::makes eye contact with the FCO and frowns:: ~~~FCO: I saw you mirroring my station! Ok so my previous assignment was as EO.. so sue me! ~~~ ::feels rather hurt::
SO_Rya says:
ACO: Commander, sensors are picking up emissions that resemble dilithium, but it's not. It has extra subspace properties. I can't find any record of such a material on record.
CNS_Fletcher says:
::hears the conversation the FCO and OPS are having  ,and walks over quickly::
ACO_CTO_Scott_Madson says:
CNS: Thank you. CNS/SO/FCO/OPS: The station is obviously missing, with no sign.  And there are increased signs of veteron and neutrino emissions and dilithium with subspace properties.  Any ideas on what possibly is going on?
FCO_Jadahn says:
~~~OPS: I'm... not sure I know what you are talking about... If I inadvertently did anything to offend you, I am sorry .~~~
SO_Rya says:
ACO: The probe is ready. Permission to launch?
FCO_Jadahn says:
ACO: Hmm.... just a second.  ::begins to think of possibilities::
CNS_Fletcher says:
FCO/OPS:<Whispers>  Ok you too settle I don't care who started it just end it now
CNS_Fletcher says:
::Turns back to the ACO::
SO_Rya says:
ACO: I'd like to have more data before speculating.
ACO_CTO_Scott_Madson says:
SO: Launch
OPS_Marso says:
::looks at the sensor array and frowns:: ~~~CNS: yes.. sir ~~~ ::a bit biting::
FCO_Jadahn says:
::nods to CNS::
SO_Rya says:
::Nods at Madson and double checks the coordinates and launches the probe.::
OPS_Marso says:
~~~CNS: I told you he hated me ~~~
SO_Rya says:
~~~~FCO: Can you guys keep it down? ~~~~
Host AGMDave  (Probelau.wav)
ACO_CTO_Scott_Madson says:
CNS/OPS/FCO/SO: What is the possibility that the station is somehow in subspace?
FCO_Jadahn says:
~~~SO/CNS: What did I do to deserve this? ::asking an obviously rhetorical question ::~~~
OPS_Marso says:
::thinks.. oh Gods I'm on a ship full of telepaths! the rings have cursed me!::
ACO_CTO_Scott_Madson says:
SO: What are the asteroids composed of?
ACO_CTO_Scott_Madson says:
~~~~OPS/FCO: I have been trying to block your thoughts, but please, you two, we are not going to get anything done if you are fighting throughout this mission.  Please, cut it out.  ~~~~
SO_Rya says:
ACO: They are mostly composed of the normal elements, but there is some of that odd dilithium emission coming from them as well.
OPS_Marso says:
::hides face.. thinks.. let me off here.. I'll walk home::
CNS_Fletcher says:
~~OPS: I said cool it ~~~
FCO_Jadahn says:
::completely blown away:: Self: What did I do?
Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: As the probe begins sending back telemetry, space itself begins to ripple in front of the Northampton.
OPS_Marso says:
::turns around and looks at the CNS:: CNS: I am not talking to anyone! sir!
ACO_CTO_Scott_Madson says:
CREW: Report!
OPS_Marso says:
::huffs:: ACO: sir.. the materials might be sub-space in nature..
SO_Rya says:
ACO: the probe has reached...::notices the view screen and trails off, eye's jumping to the sensor readings::
CNS_Fletcher says:
~~~FCO: it doesn't matter what you did just stop ::~~~~
Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The Norton Research Station appears out of the middle of the ripple effect.
ACO_CTO_Scott_Madson says:
CREW: Report! Report!
FCO_Jadahn says:
ACO: Sir, shall I back us off a bit?
OPS_Marso says:
::turns back to the view screen and blinks as the station appears::
SO_Rya says:
::Tries to get the tractor beam on line::
SO_Rya says:
ACO: I'm reading one life sign sir.
ACO_CTO_Scott_Madson says:
FCO: Yes, please.
CNS_Fletcher says:
ACO: Engineering and sickbay checks out good and the current situation I have no clue at the moment
ACO_CTO_Scott_Madson says:
OPS: Hail the Station.
SO_Rya says:
ACO: The station appears to be in relatively good shape.
FCO_Jadahn says:
::nods to ACO, and backs the ship away from the ripple and the station::
ACO_CTO_Scott_Madson says:
OPS: Please, hail the station.
CNS_Fletcher says:
FCO: go just beyond that asteroid it will put us in a straight line with the station and out of the ripple ::points::
OPS_Marso says:
COM: Station: this is the USS  Northampton.. do you copy?
Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The station solidifies and the ripple effect disappears.
SO_Rya says:
::Studies the telemetry the probe's been sending back.::
FCO_Jadahn says:
CNS: I need to clear that move with Lt.Cmdr Madson first.  Why don't you ask him about it.
SO_Rya says:
ACO: It appears to have be an interdimensional gateway sir.
ACO_CTO_Scott_Madson says:
SO: Elaborate?
SO_Rya says:
ACO: The way the subspace properties were rippling, it matches the description of an interdimensional gateway. Well that and all of the neutrino and verteron emissions.
Host McLean says:
COMM: NH: Northampton?  This is John McLean, lead scientist on this station.  What can I do for you?
ACO_CTO_Scott_Madson says:
SO: Is there any way to match that station with our dimension?
CNS_Fletcher says:
FCO: Just do it , it doesn't put us in harms way but in clear site of the station
SO_Rya says:
::Studies the data before responding to Madson.:: ACO: Just a second sir.
ACO_CTO_Scott_Madson says:
COMM: McLean: Hello.  This is ACO Scott Madson.  Have you noticed any anomalies?
