CEO_Jarek says:
*CO* Sir you have full power to all system, I have yet to run simulations on the new weapons systems

Host CO_Winters says:
Civ: Set the new course.

CIV_Knote says:
CO: We still have to go through the belt; it's just not as dense that way.

CEO_Jarek says:
*CTO*  hopefully in a moment

CSO_Nash says:
XO: Sir, It appears to be routinely traveled sensors good for about 1 light year

OPS_Regin says:
::puts it up::

Host Capt_Yoyodyne says:
@ COMM: Triton: Captain Winters... While it's probably not that much for you to know, the events that occured in the Nutirian range were caused by the targeting software. It has been fixed for the production model pods.

Lt_Waddleford says:
CEO:  Um, the first EPS failure we had was, um, very similar to two other cases on other Nebula classes I've toured on.

CIV_Knote says:
::updates course heading and checks with navigational beacons::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Wonders why those conversations about things that you're parents hide from you are always the hardest ones to have?::

Host CO_Winters says:
Comm: Yoyodyne: Very well, when can we expect this new software?

CEO_Jarek says:
Lt Waddleford: Were you able to correct the malfunction

Lt_Waddleford says:
CEO:  And once we got the first failure stabilized...things, kinda went downhill.  ::Hurriedly::  But, of course, we got the first glitch taken care of much more quickly, than we did on the other ships too.

Host Capt_Yoyodyne says:
@ COMM: Triton: It should be sent in a data packet in about a day, Captain.

CTO_Miaek says:
::thinks to himself, not again::

CIV: Understood

Host Capt_Yoyodyne says:
@ COMM: Triton: Good day, then, Captain. R&D out. ::closes comm::

XO_Keorn says:
CSO: I want full sensor readings of the area.  I don't want any surprises in there

Lt_Waddleford says:
CEO:  Well, as you see on the PADD...in about 24 hours half the backup EPS network collapsed.  But don't panic!  We can handle this.

Host CO_Winters says:
*CEO* Starfleet R & D has found a problem in the targeting software. They will forward a data packet within a day.

Lt_Waddleford says:
CEO:  I have the pattern charted...we just need to stay ahead of things.

CIV_Knote says:
XO: No doubt. ::turns back and dodges yet another rock::

CEO_Jarek says:
Lt Waddleford: Status

CIV_Knote says:
CO: 4 minutes.

Host CO_Winters says:
CSO: well then.

Host CO_Winters says:
CTO: How is it coming?

Lt_Waddleford says:
::Seeing nothing can be done with the bridge, focuses on the weapons systems::  CEO:  How long until the radiation clears and these beams start back up again?  ...Oh, we're looking okay.  A little erratic, but nothing unusual.

CTO_Miaek says:
CO: almost ready

CIV_Knote says:
::Looks at SRS readings and can see edge of the belt::

Lt_Waddleford says:
::Amazed at how calmly he just put that::

CTO_Miaek says:
::finalizes the calculations::

CEO_Jarek says:
Lt Waddleford : Lets get her stable

CTO_Miaek says:
CO: ready to fire at your command

Host CO_Winters says:
CTO: Fire, and detonate as soon as triton is out of range.

XO_Keorn says:
::pulls himself into a nearby chair and takes a station.  Bleeding from his arm has stopped and pain appears to be less::

CIV_Knote says:
::Adjusts heading around the denser portions of remaining belt.::

Host CO_Winters says:
XO: As a medic shown up yet?

XO_Keorn says:
CO: Orders sir, do we clear it now or come back

CEO_Jarek says:
Lt `	Waddleford :I'll take main power you keep an eye on the EPS grid

Lt_Waddleford says:
::Nods quickly and looks back to the board, leveling off some mild spikes that are flowing to the pod::

Host CO_Winters says:
XO: Come back, when I get my chair back

CTO_Miaek says:
CO: Aye sir ::fires the first torpedo, and soon as it clears the ship's area detonates it::

XO_Keorn says:
CO: No sir but I'll live a while longer

Lt_Waddleford says:
CEO:  You got it.  ::Watches the flow to the pod with a hawk eye::

CMO_Thornne says:
::starts O2 therapy::

CSO_Nash says:
Computer: Begin running protocols to clear a mine field using as little firing of the weapons as possible. In other words set weapons to maximum dispersion and send to the OPS station for implementation

CEO_Jarek says:
:: Readjusts main power to shields and weapons, as well as life support

CMO_Thornne says:
<Medic> ::Appears on bridge slightly out of breath from running::

CIV_Knote says:
CO: Skipper... ::nods at console:: suggest we get home and repaired before trying to take those things on again.

CIV_Knote says:
::Glad the big rock is behind them::

Host CO_Winters says:
Civ: Agreed.

Host ScottB says:
ACTION: The torpedoes detonate in the proximity of the gun cluster. The guns are slightly damaged. They retreat back to their original "cluttered" areas to begin self-repair.

CIV_Knote says:
CO: 2 minutes and we're clear of the belt.

CTO_Miaek says:
CO:  They have stopped following for repairs sir

Host ScottB says:
ACTION: Power fluctuates in Sickbay, raising havoc with the stasis containment fields

Host CO_Winters says:
Civ: Good, we are going to need a paint job after all this.

CIV_Knote says:
::reduces to 1/2 impulse::

EO_Porter says:
::still working on the shields::

CEO_Jarek says:
*CTO* What are the weapons using as a targeting system ,have you determined that yet

Lt_Waddleford says:
::Constantly tapping at the board, meticulously keeping power flow to the pod within 1 percent of optimal::

CMO_Thornne says:
Ops: I'm gonna need to put you under & get the blood out of your lungs.... ::starts prepping equipment as she speaks::

CTO_Miaek says:
CO: the torpedo work, but they will be back if we are still here

CIV_Knote says:
CO: ::chuckles:: Every bit of that sir.

OPS_Regin says:
::shakes his head::

Host CO_Winters says:
*CMO* How is Regin doing?

CIV_Knote says:
::checks the readings on IPS and WPS::

Lt_Waddleford says:
::Tries to calm down a flow of power spikes headed toward sickbay::

CMO_Thornne says:
*CO* Critical.

Host ScottB says:
<Computer> ME: Warning. Power failure detected in EPS Relay Subnet 62J3C. Sickbay power is compromised

CTO_Miaek says:
*CEO* Please repeat your request

CMO_Thornne says:
::starts to put Regin under::

CIV_Knote says:
CO: Should have warp once we clear this thing.

Host CO_Winters says:
Civ: Whatever she can't take when we get out of here.

CEO_Jarek says:
Computer: Reroute power from science systems to sickbay

CMO_Thornne says:
*Eng* I need power in here.... I've got a patient critical.

Lt_Waddleford says:
CEO:  Power is spiking all along the relay.  I'm going to backups.  ::Carefully switches over::

CEO_Jarek says:
*CMO* Were on it

Host CO_Winters says:
CSO: I want a warning beacon set out at the opening of the passage. Request Betazed does the same with the other side.

EO_Porter says:
*CMO*: I'll bring up a portable power generator.

CIV_Knote says:
::Sends CSO the coordinates of the entry point::

CMO_Thornne says:
::as Regin is almost out she starts prepping one of SB's larger needles::

XO_Keorn says:
CO: request permission to go to SB.

CEO_Jarek says:
*EO* Good thinking Mr. Porter

CSO_Nash says:
CO: Aye sir. :: Sets out a warning beacon and hails the Betazed and advises them to do the same::

EO_Porter says:
*CEO*: Thanks.

Lt_Waddleford says:
::Stabilizes the backup net relatively quickly::  CEO:  Sickbay will be back up in just a minute.  ::Starts balancing flow count again::

CIV_Knote says:
CO: Suggest we keep it down to warp 5 or less.  Will be a rough ride otherwise.

Lt_Waddleford says:
Self:  I hope.  ::Shakes his head and continues working::

CEO_Jarek says:
Lt Waddleford: Good work Lt.

Host CO_Winters says:
CIV: Very well.

CMO_Thornne says:
::inserts the needle into Regin's right lung....::

Lt_Waddleford says:
CEO:  I've been working on the Nebulas so much over the past month I'm used to it.  ::shrugs nonchalantly::

EO_Porter says:
::arrives in SB and starts connecting the crucial systems to prevent any power disruptions::

Host CO_Winters says:
XO: Granted.

CTO_Miaek says:
::drops to a knee as he catches himself on a panel to keep from falling completely down::

CEO_Jarek says:
Lt Waddleford: reduce power to the POD by 18% that may help the power spikes

XO_Keorn says:
CO: Thank you sir.  ::Hand hanging limply at his side he moves to TL:: TL: SB

CEO_Jarek says:
:: Looks at the Lt.::

Host ScottB says:
ACTION: Triton slips out of the asteroid belt

CMO_Thornne says:
::Attaches the other end of the needle to a suction machine::

CIV_Knote says:
CO: We're out of the belt.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Feels something trickling down the side of his nose and wipes at it only to smear some blood into his already irritated eyes. Putting his hand to the headband feels why the blood has started again. The headband is soaked. What a waste.::

Lt_Waddleford says:
::Balances EPS flow to sickbay to near optimum for the backups::  CEO:  I'll do that and look at things...I think I'm ready to open up the flow to sickbay.

Host CO_Winters says:
Civ: Good. Engage, warp 5.

CIV_Knote says:
CO: aye warp 5.  Heading is SB 412.

CEO_Jarek says:
Lt Waddleford : do so carefully

CIV_Knote says:
::engages WPS to warp 5::

Lt_Waddleford says:
::Reduces power flow to the pod slowly, by 18%, and things start to level off almost immediately::  CEO:  Nice work there, Jarek.

XO_Keorn says:
::exits TL and goes into SB:: CMO: I will wait over here till you have a moment Dr.

CSO_Nash says:
CO: Sir those emplacement probes were specifically designed to hit a target's bridge full force and render them helpless as it almost did to us

CEO_Jarek says:
Lt Waddleford: It took awhile to get the hang of their design

CIV_Knote says:
::Triton shakes slightly.  Adjusts trim and compensates for damage::

CTO_Miaek says:
::picks self back up and looks around at the crew::

CMO_Thornne says:
::Looks quickly over her shoulder at the XO:: XO: Tell me what happened while you're waiting.

Lt_Waddleford says:
::Records this period in the EPS net for examination later, hopefully the calculations will improve pod performance later::  CEO:  Well, once you did, you got it down pat.  ::chuckles a little and returns normal power flow to sickbay, waiting and watching::

EO_Porter says:
::leaves S.B. and heads back to M.E.::

CIV_Knote says:
*CEO*  We're getting a shimmy. How's the warp bubble?

CSO_Nash says:
:: Makes a note of this area in the computer log::

CEO_Jarek says:
*CIV* Mr. Knote: We have stabilized the port nacelle, readjusting the starboard one now. Let me know if there is further problems

Host CO_Winters says:
*CEO* Damage report.

XO_Keorn says:
CMO: The station exploded and burned me.  My guess is second and one or two third degree burns on my upper chest and arms some small lacerations on my leg and lower torso.  ::Field medic training comes in handy again::

CIV_Knote says:
::Feels the Triton calm down:: *CEO* That did it.

Lt_Waddleford says:
CEO:  You're trying to hold the ship together and he's worried about a shimmy?  ::Laughs::  Ah well...  ::Continues working::

CTO_Miaek says:
CO:  permission to be relieve and get my cut closed?

CMO_Thornne says:
::has the nurse monitor the Ops' lung conditions as she looks at his other injuries.::

CEO_Jarek says:
*CO* Port nacelle was damaged ,has been repaired, secondary systems at 53%

Host CO_Winters says:
CTO: Granted.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Starts to feel woozy again, but fights the irresistible urge to pass out. CO: Sir I require medical attention

CTO_Miaek says:
::walks to the TL to head to SB::

CEO_Jarek says:
*CO* Working on Bridge containment, POD functioning within nominal range

Lt_Waddleford says:
CEO:  You mind if I get a team together and start work on the sickbay relays?

CEO_Jarek says:
LT Waddleford ; My pleasure

CIV_Knote says:
CO: ETA Starbase is 4 days if we can maintain this speed.

CMO_Thornne says:
::sends one of the spare nurses to attend to the XO::

CEO_Jarek says:
*CO* Lt Waddleford and engineering team are on their way to sickbay for repairs
