Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The commander of the test range acknowledges Titan's arrival and activates the sensor targets.

Host CO_Loran says:
All: Okay, we need to test our sensors in the first part.  I need to have both science and tactical sensors working as hard as they can on this range.

CTO_Benson says:
CO: I have targets on sensors.

OPS_Bass says:
CO: I have targets also.

XO_Madson says:
CO: Understood.  I'll check out the Science sensors.

Host CO_Loran says:
::Walks around the new Bridge, trying to get a feel for it::

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: Several sensor targets appear at short and long range as well as some designed to be sensor ghosts.

CEO_Fletcher says:
::In Main Engineering analyzing the warp drive test results::

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: Sensors work just fine on all targets.  Titan moves to the weapons range.

CNS_McDuggle says:
*CEO* Chief how did the engines do?

CTO_Benson says:
::Taps console switching to targeting sensors::

CMO_Madson says:
::Reading over medical logs::

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: Several holograms appear resembling hostile ships.

CEO_Fletcher says:
*CNS* Going over the results now, so far so good though.

CTO_Benson says:
CO: Targeting sensors detecting several holographic hostile vessels.

Host CO_Loran says:
CTO: Benson, it is your turn now to blow things up, Lieutenant.  ::Smiles as he stands behind her a little::

XO_Madson says:
CTO: I'm going to miss that.

CNS_McDuggle says:
*CEO* That is good lets hope they stay that way.

CTO_Benson says:
CO: Aye, Sir!  ::Grins and locks the phasers on the lead vessel::  Firing!

OPS_Bass says:
::Checking the power systems::

Host CO_Loran says:
CTO: Put them on screen.

CTO_Benson says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Taps console putting the tactical display on the main viewer::

Host CO_Loran says:
CNS: Evasive maneuvers.

CTO_Benson says:
CO: Switching to torpedoes.......now!  ::Taps console and fires a volley of torpedoes::

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The phasers work flawlessly and the lead vessel disengages.

CNS_McDuggle says:
CO: Roger. ::Starts evasive maneuvers::

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: Titan's torpedoes also hit their marks and holograms disappear as they are hit.

CTO_Benson says:
All: Firing aft torpedoes!  ::Fires another volley::

OPS_Bass says:
::Watches the power output::

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: All holographic hostiles disappear to be replaced by holograms of large asteroids very close to Titan's hull.

OPS_Bass says:
CO: Asteroids dead head.

CTO_Benson says:
CO: New targets appearing on tactical sensors, Sir.

Host CO_Loran says:
CNS: Evasive maneuvers around the asteroids.

CNS_McDuggle says:
CO: Already on it, Sir.  ::Maneuvers the ship around to avoid asteroids::

CTO_Benson says:
::Starts targeting asteroids and firing phasers randomly::

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The asteroids begin to get thicker.

CNS_McDuggle says:
::Plots course through asteroid field::

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: Titan scrapes one asteroid, but shields hold.

Host CO_Loran says:
CNS: Slow us down if you need to.

CTO_Benson says:
::Feels the Titan hit one of the asteroids and raises an eyebrow at the CNS::

CNS_McDuggle says:
::Adjusts course to miss any more asteroids::

XO_Madson says:
::Looks up at the CNS::

CNS_McDuggle says:
CO: Taking care of it now, Sir.

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The asteroids disappear and a number flashes on the viewscreen.

CTO_Benson says:
::Looks at the tactical monitor and the mysterious number flashing on the screen::

CNS_McDuggle says:
::Brings ship to all stop::

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The test range master sends his congratulations on a near perfect score.

Host CO_Loran says:
All: Well, we could have done better but, this feels like a new ship to me, so it is very good.

CTO_Benson says:
::Realizes it's their score for the testing and grins::

XO_Madson says:
CO: Wow, that must be a Titan record!

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: Long-range sensors detect a vessel at extreme range.

CTO_Benson says:
::Grins and blows the smoke from her fingers::

XO_Madson says:
::Notices the CTO, grins and shakes his head::

CTO_Benson says:
CO: Sir, long-range sensors detecting a vessel at extreme range.

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS: Open a channel to the range master.

OPS_Bass says:
CO: Aye Sir. ::Opens a channel:: Go ahead, Sir.

CNS_McDuggle says:
::Thinks the CO may need a little counseling about wanting everything perfect::

CMO_Madson says:
~~~XO: Am I allowed on the Bridge?~~~

Host CO_Loran says:
COM: Range Master:  Thanks for the use of your range for our shakedown.  We have detected a ship on our extreme long-range sensors.  Are you expecting any other ships at the range?

Host RangeMaster says:
COM: Titan: You're very welcome.  No further ships are expected until tomorrow.

XO_Madson says:
~~~CMO: I don't think it would be a problem~~~

CMO_Madson says:
~~~XO: Thanks, Scotty, dear~~~

Host CO_Loran says:
COM: Range Master:  That is odd.  We will investigate the incursion.  Titan, out.

Host CO_Loran says:
CNS: Bring us closer to that ship, half impulse.

CMO_Madson says:
::Enters the turbolift:: Bridge, please.

CNS_McDuggle says:
CO: Roger.  ::Heads the Titan towards the other ship::

Host CO_Loran says:
CTO: Try to identify that ship before we get into any kind of firing range.

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: As Titan nears the mysterious ship, it becomes apparent that the ship is without power and drifting.

CTO_Benson says:
CO: Attempting to identify, Sir.  The vessel seems to be dead in space and adrift.

CMO_Madson says:
::Enters Bridge quietly::

Host CO_Loran says:
CTO: Put the ship on main viewer.  ::Walks back down to stand on the lower part of the Bridge.

OPS_Bass says:
::Gets ready to hail the ship::

CNS_McDuggle says:
::Sees the CMO enter the Bridge :: CMO: Hi, Doc.

CTO_Benson says:
CO: Sir, the vessel is out of our visual range.

CMO_Madson says:
::Smiles at CNS:: CNS: Howdy.

CTO_Benson says:
CO: Four minutes till visual range.

CNS_McDuggle says:
CMO: Are you getting a feel for the ship?

CTO_Benson says:
CO: Sensors are not picking up any life signs or power coming from the vessel.

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: As Titan draws near, the ship's configuration becomes clear.

Host CO_Loran says:
::Looks over his shoulder as the new CMO enters the Bridge::  CMO: Welcome aboard the USS Titan, Dr. Madson.  I hope everything is going well for your transition?

CMO_Madson says:
CNS: A little.  I don't care for flying, though.  Makes me nervous.

CTO_Benson says:
CO: Putting the image on screen.  ::Taps console::

CNS_McDuggle says:
CMO: I hope you get use to it.

Host CO_Loran says:
CTO: Compare the configuration with that of the stolen future ship from Memory Alpha.

CMO_Madson says:
CO: Yes, it's very nice on board.

CTO_Benson says:
CO: Aye, Sir. ::Taps the console:: Computer: Run a comparison on the image with all known vessel configurations in our database.

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The image on the viewscreen reveals an NX class Starfleet ship.

CTO_Benson says:
CO: The vessel is slightly smaller than a Defiant class vessel.  The design is very much like Starfleet in its configuration.

OPS_Bass says:
::Wonders what ship is this?::

CMO_Madson says:
::Thinks: My, that's a big ship.  Wonders why it's all beat up::

XO_Madson says:
CO: That is strange, what is it doing out here?  Look at the damage the hull has taken though, somewhat strange.

CMO_Madson says:
::Wonders how recently it got that way::

OPS_Bass says:
::Thinks: What is going on out there?::

Host CO_Loran says:
CTO: Anything yet on the ship?

CEO_Fletcher says:
::Awaiting other information::

Host Computer says:
CTO: The ship is identified as the Missouri.  Hull number NX-05.

CTO_Benson says:
CO: The computer is bringing up a vessel name and a hull number.  The Missouri, Hull ID NX-05.

OPS_Bass says:
::Thinks: Missouri?::

CTO_Benson says:
CO: I do not believe I am familiar with this particular vessel or it's configuration.  Bringing up the data on the Missouri now, Sir.

Host CO_Loran says:
All: The Missouri?  An NX class ship.  What is it doing in our time?

OPS_Bass says:
::Runs a scan for any temporal readings::

Host CO_Loran says:
XO: Use the science station and scan the area for any kind of anomalies or surges.

CTO_Benson says:
::Looks at the monitor:: All: The Missouri was the last of the NX class vessels built before the Andor Class, precursor to the Constitution class.

XO_Madson says:
CO: Understood.  ::Gets up and sits down at the Science station and starts scanning the area::

OPS_Bass says:
CO: Sir, I am getting some temporal readings off the hull.

CTO_Benson says:
All: It was dispatched on a long-range exploration mission and reported lost near what is now known as Cardassian space approximately 120 light-years from our present position.

XO_Madson says:
CO: I am getting a small trace of temporal particles.

Host CO_Loran says:
CNS: Close in on the ship.  CTO: Yellow alert.

CTO_Benson says:
::Taps console scanning the hull for weapons damage::  CO: Aye, Sir.  Yellow alert activated.

CNS_McDuggle says:
CO: Roger, Sir.  ::Brings Titan in closer to the Missouri::
