Host Bafii says:
<<<<<<<<<< BEGIN MISSION >>>>>>>>>>
 
Host CO_Loran says:
ASO:  Activate the sensors pod with full power.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
:: at OPS trying to get a message to the star base or Star Fleet::
 
FCO_Chottu says:
::at flight control as the Titan lies still in space::
 
ASO_Rien says:
::at science one wondering why the chief isn't on duty yet:: CO: Aye Captain, activating sensor pods now. ::taps the control::
 
Host Bafii says:
ACTION:  The sensor pod powers up and starts scanning.
 
ASO_Rien says:
CO: Sensor pods responding at nominal levels.
 
ATO_Gruel says:
::Reading reports from throughout the ship from security saying that everything is normal::
 
CMO_Madson says:
::Frowns and worries about the missing station.  Sits in an empty chair, puts chin in one hand and quietly watches and listens to the activity on the bridge::
 
ASO_Rien says:
:;monitors the readings:: CO: Captain, we are getting a lot of subspace interference, but the signal is beginning to clear somewhat.
 
Host CO_Loran says:
CMO:  Doc, can you see if you can sense anything out there?
 
CMO_Madson says:
CO:  Sure.  Trying now.  ::Leans back in chair, closes eyes, relaxes and sends out searching for other intelligence::
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
::scans all COMM frequencies trying to get a signal through the interference::
 
ASO_Rien says:
::glances over at the CMO::
 
ATO_Gruel says:
::Hasn't ever seen the CMO use her abilities and pauses his report readings to watch::
 
CMO_Madson says:
CO: I am sensing something.  I don't know what it is...don't know what it is yet.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
::reroutes power to help Comms with out effecting the sensor pods::
 
Host CO_Loran says:
CMO:  Can you tell where it is coming from?
 
ASO_Rien says:
OPS: Can you reroute more power to the sensors, I'm still not getting a clear reading? ::smiles sweetly::
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
ASO: working on that now ::reroutes more power to sensors::
 
ASO_Rien says:
OPS: Thank you. ::looks back down at the panel::
 
CMO_Madson says:
CO:  Yes...it feels as if it is in front of the ship somewhere. ::Stops listening to the noise on the bridge and concentrates harder::
 
ATO_Gruel says:
::Decides that since Science is taking care of all scanning work that he'll work on some tactical strategies::
 
Host CO_Loran says:
ATO:  Bring us to Yellow Alert.
 
ATO_Gruel says:
CO: Aye, sir ::Hits a few buttons and sends the ship to yellow alert::
 
ASO_Rien says:
::her fingers glide over the panel as the images become clearer:: CO: Sir, I'm getting a better picture now, distortion clearing.
 
Host Bafii says:
ACTION:  Yellow Alert Klaxons light up.
 
Host Bafii (Yellow Alert. Wav.)
 
Host CO_Loran says:
ASO:  Put it up on main viewer.
 
ASO_Rien says:
CO: Sir, you're not going to like this.

ASO_Rien says:
::puts the area on the main viewer::
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
::reroutes power from the Holo Deck and sends it to the sensors:: ASO: that help any more
 
ATO_Gruel says:
::Starts watching the viewscreen::
 
ASO_Rien says:
CO: As you can see Captain, there is no trace of SB360, but check that over there. ::points to the left of the screen::
 
ASO_Rien says:
OPS: Much better thank you.
 
Host CO_Loran says:
ASO:  Magnify that area.
 
ASO_Rien says:
CO: Magnifying by 200 percent sir.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: Sir the sensors are taking their toll on our power I will try to keep them up as long as possible.
 
Host CO_Loran says:
OPS:  See what you can do.  We need to see what is going on here.
 
Host CO_Loran says:
OPS:  Start cutting power from unneeded areas if you have to.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: Roger sir :: starts hunting for more power ::
 
ASO_Rien says:
CO: Please observe sir, there appears to be some evidence of a subspace fissure, which has recently been in that area. I read only a slight remnant of any sign of it now.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: I already have sir  and we are getting brown outs in some auxiliary systems.
 
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: As they watch, the fissure begins to slowly grow.
 
ATO_Gruel says:
::Wishes that he hadn't slept through Subspace Fissures 101 at the Academy::
 
Host CO_Loran says:
ASO:  What kind of fissure?
 
ASO_Rien says:
CO: Running a sensor scan now sir.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
::contacts ME to have some aux. generators hooked up ::
 
ASO_Rien says:
::fidgets with the sensor settings trying to identify the fissure::
 
FCO_Chottu says:
CO: The ship, it's starting to drift forward sir, it's not me, should I try to compensate?
 
ATO_Gruel says:
::Runs some quick level four diagnostics on all tactical systems just to make sure everything is ready::
 
Host CO_Loran says:
FCO:  Yes, back us away from the fissure at full impulse.
 
ASO_Rien says:
CO: Captain, it reads as a rupture in subspace and yes, it's beginning to expand. :;looks at the Captain's face as she tells him::
 
Host CO_Loran says:
ASO:  Can you penetrate the fissure to see what is on the other side?
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: sir suggest sending a probe in to the fissure
 
FCO_Chottu says:
::wonders if that isn't overcompensating:: CO: Full impulse.. Aye sir. ::sets the Titan to full impulse::
 
CMO_Madson says:
::Hears the science officer and loses some concentration.  Worry setting in again::
 
Host Bafii says:
ACTION:  The Titan does not move backwards, but continues forward.
 
FCO_Chottu says:
CO: Sir, it's not working... something is dragging us forward, even faster now.
 
ASO_Rien says:
CO: Not with the present power levels sir. I'll need twice the level to penetrate through.
 
ATO_Gruel says:
::Waiting for the stars next to them on the viewscreen to stop moving the way they are moving now::
 
Host CO_Loran says:
FCO:  Cut power to impulse.
 
Host CO_Loran says:
OPS:  Since our sensors can't penetrate, make a probe ready for launching.
 
FCO_Chottu says:
::cuts power to impulse:: CO: Aye sir, done, at current projected speed... we'll reach the fissure in 30 minutes.
 
Host Bafii says:
ACTION:  As impulse power is cut, the Titan lurches forward.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: Roger Sir ::readies a probe for launch:: ready when you are
 
Host CO_Loran says:
OPS:  Launch probe.
 
ATO_Gruel says:
::Not entirely sure what that fissure will do, but sure doesn't want to find out::
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
::launches probe:: CO: probe away sir
 
ASO_Rien says:
::prepares to receive the probe's data::
 
CMO_Madson says:
::Grabs chair and worry intensifies::
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: sir the probe just exploded.
 
Host CO_Loran says:
::feels the movement of the Titan shift more dramatically once impulse is cut::  FCO:  Full reverse.  Use warp power if you need to.
 
Host CO_Loran says:
OPS:  What did it explode from?
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: unsure yet I just exploded when it came in contact with the fissure.
 
ASO_Rien says:
CO: Sir, the fissure may have a shielding of some kind.
 
Host CO_Loran says:
ASO:  what is the size of the fissure now?
 
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The lights on the bridge dim
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
::tries to find more power::
 
ATO_Gruel says:
::Looks around and wonders why that happened, but fears to ask::
 
FCO_Chottu says:
CO: Already tried full impulse, sir, attempting to go to warp. ::engages warp engines::
 
Host Bafii says:
ACTION:  Warp field collapses
 
Host CO_Loran says:
ATO:  Load torpedo tubes.
 
FCO_Chottu says:
CO: Sir, the Warp field collapsed, just not stable enough for some reason.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
ASO; any ideal how long before we come in contact with the fissure?
 
ATO_Gruel says:
CO: Aye sir ::Begins torpedo loading sequence::
 
Host Bafii says:
ACTION:  The TAC panel explodes and the ATO is badly hurt.
 
ASO_Rien says:
:;recalibrate the size of the growing fissure:: CO: Sir, it's now a quarter of the width of the Titan, and there is what appears to be an eye in the center about a meter across.
 
ASO_Rien says:
OPS: At our present speed....::looks at him:: 20 minutes.
 
ATO_Gruel says:
::Shrapnel flies into him and he falls on the ground, motionless::
 
Host CO_Loran says:
ASO:  An eye?  Magnify that area.
 
ASO_Rien says:
::increases the magnification to the area:: CO: Increased sir.
 
CMO_Madson says:
::Jerks forward and runs to the ATO::
 
Host CO_Loran says:
::flinches from the sparks from the tactical area::  CMO:  look after the injured.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: sir the sensors are now pulling more power than the ship can handle we have decks blacking out
 
ASO_Rien says:
::looks over at the tactical panel but remains at her station::
 
FCO_Chottu says:
::looks back at Tactical, sees the ATO on the ground, focuses on flight again::
 
CMO_Madson says:
::Scans the ATO::
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
:: hears the ASO comment:: CO: sir could this be an intelligent being?
 
Host CO_Loran says:
::sits down in his chair and pulls up his console and transfer tactical to it and pushes some buttons and loads the torpedo tubes with Quantum Torpedoes::
 
ATO_Gruel says:
::Face is torn apart by shrapnel and is getting blood on the nice clean carpet::
 
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: Torpedo loaders fail due to lack of power.
 
FCO_Chottu says:
CO: Sir, this ride is getting quite rough, can't really control it, what to do sir?
 
ASO_Rien says:
CO: Captain, the fissure is still growing at the same rate.
 
Host Bafii says:
ACTION:  Bridge is running on only emergency lights now
 
CMO_Madson says:
::Readings come back showing a concussion.  Starts healing the burns.::  CO: The ATO has burns and a concussion.  Working on the burns now.
 
Host CO_Loran says:
ASO:  Remove full power from the sensors and transfer back the usage to tactical.
 
ASO_Rien says:
::looks around at the low red emergency lighting and sighs::
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
::contacts ME again to hook up more aux. generators::
 
Host CO_Loran says:
OPS:  Transfer power back to normal power output and add some to tactical.  I can't load the torpedoes.
 
Host Bafii says:
ACTION:  Control panels are starting to black out on the bridge, the viewscreen goes off.
 
ASO_Rien says:
CO: Aye sir. ::begins to cut power:: Captain, controls not responding.
 
CMO_Madson says:
ATO: I think you can have a concussion and be conscious, just groggy.  Some people don't realize they have one.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CO:: trying sir but I have no control over power transfer anymore
 
ASO_Rien says:
:;taps furiously at the controls attempting to cut power:: Self: What the heck is happening here?
 
Host CO_Loran says:
ASO:  If you have to, cut power manually, but, we need to transfer that power to the other systems.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: sir suggest we try hailing the Fissure?

ATO_Gruel says:
::Groans:: CMO: Oh... really?
 
CMO_Madson says:
::Holds up two fingers::  ATO:  How many fingers do I have?
 
ASO_Rien says:
::nods to the Captain::
 
ATO_Gruel says:
::Squints his eyes:: CMO: Four?
 
Host Bafii says:
ACTION:  The Titan bounces about as the experimental sensor arrays burnout and explode.  There is a bright flash of light and a moment of calm...
 
Host CO_Loran says:
OPS:  Try it.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
:: tries manual reroute of power::
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: roger Sir:: sends a hail to the fissure::
 
Host CO_Loran says:
::falls from his chair to the floor from an explosion::  OPS:  What was that?
 
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: ... then every panel on the bridge explodes, showering the place with broken plastic and sparking wires.  Only minor injuries result...
 
CMO_Madson says:
CO:  The ATO will be not be able to handle controls right now.  His vision is impaired and maybe his thought processes.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: trying to find out now Sir.
 
ASO_Rien says:
::has a thought:: CO: Sir, since I can't use the sensors now, and none of the systems are responding, could we try cutting all power except for life support?
 
Host CO_Loran says:
::covers his head from all the exploding panels::  CMO:  Get him to sickbay.
 
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: Then suddenly everything is calm.
 
ATO_Gruel says:
::Props himself up on one elbow:: CMO: No... no... I'm fine, really. I just had a traumatic experience with lights... I had to say four
 
FCO_Chottu says:
CO: I've lost flight control sir.
 
ASO_Rien says:
CO: Captain, I think that's it......cut all power!
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
:: tries repairing OPS console ::
 
CMO_Madson says:
ATO:  Good try, but you are NOT okay!  Lay down and relax.
 
ATO_Gruel says:
CMO: I heard there was a new Counselor coming aboard... I can't wait to see him. You see the Cardassians picked me up and tortured me, and now, I always see four... or five
 
Host CO_Loran says:
::stands up and pulls his jacket down like they do in the shows::  All:  Report.
 
ATO_Gruel says:
CMO: No really. I'm fine. I saw t--t---tt four!
 
CMO_Madson says:
::Thinks, this is definitely one for the counselor::
 
Host Bafii says:
ACTION:  Emergency lights come back on.  There is a hiss as life support starts back up.
 
ASO_Rien says:
::transfers the data to a padd and takes it to the Captain:: CO: Here sir, look...when the power is reduced everything seems to stop, the explosions, the power levels........look sir.
 
Host CO_Loran says:
::takes the PADD and looks over the reading::
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: Sir all consoles are out main power is off line but we still seem to have life support.
 
CMO_Madson says:
ATO:  Your ears should be fine.  I believe I said to lay back and relax. ::Gently pushes ATO down::
 
ATO_Gruel says:
CMO: Please.. I'm fine. But wait... is my face ok? I might not be fine if my face isn't ok
 
Host Bafii says:
<EO ShortCircut>  *CO*:  Bridge, this is engineering.  Mains are offline.  We just got life-support and Comms back up.  Working on the rest.
 
ATO_Gruel says:
::Gets back up:: CMO: No, please
 
Host CO_Loran says:
*EO*:  What happened?
 
Host Bafii says:
ACTION:  TO Williams is stranded in a Turbolift car between floors.  The car has no power.
 
CMO_Madson says:
ATO:  I'm working on your face now.  You keep moving and it'll look like a waffle.
 
Host Bafii says:
<EO ShortCircut>  *CO*:  There was an immense draw on system power through the sensors.  Eventually the conduits gave way and everything blew.
 
ATO_Gruel says:
CMO: But can I do my job? Please?
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
:: sees the Comms are back up::
 
ASO_Rien says:
CO: Captain, there must be something in the new sensor pallet that caused the overloads.
 
CMO_Madson says:
::Reaches in the bag and administers a slight sedative to the ATO.  The ATO relaxes and smiles and is quiet::
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
::tries hailing Star Fleet again::
 
ATO_Gruel says:
CMO: And imagine.. who knows what people are doing with these systems down? We need security, and ::Starts smiling as the sedative's applied::
 
Host CO_Loran says:
ASO:  Do you have any sensor readings?
 
ASO_Rien says:
:;checks the sensors again:: CO: Checking sir.
 
CMO_Madson says:
::Continues to work on the ATO's burns::
 
ASO_Rien says:
CO: Sensors are still not working sir.
 
CMO_Madson says:
::Stops and looks at the ATO's face:: Self: I'll finish the details later.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: sir I am receiving a hail from Starbase 360
