Host ^SM_Pam (Actd.mid)

Host ^SM_Pam says:
The away team has now returned to the planet of Pollux IV, where they finally gained access to the small building that houses the listening post. To their surprise, there appears to be an unknown device inside as well as the old Federation computer system. Don’t you love a good surprise?

Host ^SM_Pam says:
A wind storm outside is forcing most of the away team to seek shelter amongst some ancient ruins nearby as the leaders of the team, complete with radiation bio suits, examine the device and the computer inside. It must be hard to work in those suits, don’t ya think?

Host ^SM_Pam says:
Back on the Triton, the sensors have been acting up slightly, making the science officer wonder what the heck is happening. Then a single work appears on the screen written in what looks like ancient Greek, which when translated simply says “Come”.

Host ^SM_Pam says:
Now the crew must learn the meaning of the message and why the listening post has stopped transmitting and why the satellite around Pollux V was destroyed. So many pieces to the puzzle, but can they get them all to fit?

Host ^SM_Pam says:

CO:  Captain, diagnostics have not shown anything wrong with sensor systems.  I am therefore attempting to locate the point of origin of the message.

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
# ::  on shuttle enroute to her new ship ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
:: turns and can't help smiling to see his wife ::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
~~~OPS:  How are you doing?~~~

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
:: listens at the CMO's question as get an answer from the scanners::  CMO:  As a matter of fact, I have, Doctor.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
<INN> OPS: We have an away team on the planet.  All is quiet at the moment.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::looks towards Kalek :: CSO: And..?

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: nods ::   Inn: Take secondary OPS, please.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@:: working on the piece of equipment she found to see what she can make of it ::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
CO/CMO:  The message's origin is probably from the same coordinates as the beams that scanned us before.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: takes her seat and logs in ::   ~~~ CMO: When you have some time, can I see you?  Just a check to make sure everything is okay. ~~~

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
CO/CMO:  Around 30 light years.  I am sorry I cannot be more accurate.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
<Inn>:: moves to secondary OPS ::   CMO: I can take it from here, doc...thanks.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: hears E'Laina's request for her officer and presses a few buttons which sends the information she was looking at to the counselor's chair. She then gets up and walks to the vacant seat :: ~~~OPS: Yes, of course.~~~

Host ^SM_Pam says:
ACTION: As the CEO attempts to touch the device, she gets an electrical shock

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
# :: ensuring that everything is as it should be, gets up and stretches her legs a bit  ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CSO:  Sounds like a guess, which is odd coming from you Mr Kalek.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
OPS:  Greetings, Commander.  :: nods and looks back at his console ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@ :: jumps and sits down heavily ::  ALL: Watch out for that shock it is a doozy.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
:: raises a brow ::  CO:  That is the best that I can do with our limited sensor range, Captain.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: smiles at the CSO ::   CSO: And to you Kalek.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CSO: Didn't something else occur from thirty light  years? That scan?

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: checks her console and the status of the away team ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@ :: pulls out her tricorder and finds that it is surrounded by a forcefield ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
:: smiles ::  So, what's going on with your sensor sweeps anyway?

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@ *CO*: Sir, this piece of equipment that is in the center of the room has a forcefield around it.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*CEO*:  How strong?

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
<SO_Gallahad>  :: jumps from his chair as the CO speaks to her ::  CO:  Sir?   Eerrr, we haven't found anything wrong, sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@ *CO*: Very strong.  Enough to make me jump back and sit down heavily on the floor.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
::  sees the lock on the Away Team is strong and holding ::

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
@ :: begins to sing along to "Heart Break Hotel" ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@ *CO*:  I have traced its source and it is connected to the Federation computer.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
CMO:  That is correct, Doctor.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: giggles quietly at Gallahad's reaction ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*CEO*:  Can you shut it down then?

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
# Computer: ETA to the Triton?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CSO: Thank you Kalek. That is what I thought. :: she turns to Vince :: CO: Captain, either someone is seriously trying to fool us or I believe there is probably something interesting about 30 light years from us.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@ *CO*: Nope, I can't shut it down.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: checks surrounding space for any communication signals ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
:: gets up and walks to the science station ::  CSO:  Well something seems to have your attention over here.  What's up?

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
CO/CMO:  It would be needed a high energy to deceive us, masking a scan beam as if it was 30 light years away, even being very close to us.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: feels butterflies in her tummy and smiles ::

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
#<Computer> CIV: ETA is 4 minutes and 58 seconds at current speed and course.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
OPS:  Open a channel.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
CO:  I must confess I am still disturbed about the message, Captain.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
CO: Aye sir...   :: fingers taps a series of buttons ::    Channel opened, sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@ :: begins a passive scan to try to find a way around it ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
COM:  CIV:  This is Captain Vince of the U.S.S. Triton.  Glad you made it Commander.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: notes the FCO is absent again and that the nav console is slaved to hers ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
COM:  Civ:  We're in standard orbit and will be ready to receive you.

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
#Com: CO: Glad to be here. I was just about to call.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: makes a slight adjustment to the Triton's orbit  ::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: she makes a few notes on the side console and wonders if Vince will take the same thing happening 30LY away into consideration ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
OPS:  Please inform the shuttlebay.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
CO:  I do not like the idea of sending so many probes, but perhaps we should launch another probe to the beam's origin's coordinates.  A class VIII would work fine.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CSO:  What message Mr Kalek?

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
# Comm: CO: Understood. Making final corrections and setting course for docking.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
CO: Aye sir.  *Shuttlebay*: Shuttle bay one, prepare for incoming shuttle craft.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CSO: Kalek, would you be able to discover the energy signature if someone used it to deceive us?

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: assigns the CIV quarters ::   COM: CIV: Sir, you are cleared for landing in shuttle bay one.

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
@#:: Moves back to the seat and begins to push buttons again and getting ready to dock ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
<Shuttlebay 1>  *OPS*: Acknowledged and ready.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CSO:  Go ahead and launch the probe.  Couldn't hurt.  

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
:: raises brows and glances at the CO ::  CO:  We have received a message... apparently someone has used our sensor array to send us a message.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CSO:  Oh... and take the liberty to launch it when ready.

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
# Com: Ops: Understood. On final approach now.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
CO:  It was a Greek word, Captain...  meaning "come".

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: watches the approach of the shuttle craft ::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
:: nods::  CO:  Aye, Captain.  :: glances at Gallahad and nods ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: turns to Inn ::   OPS Inn: Would you go and meet our new crew member?

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
<Inn> OPS: Aye ma'am.    :: logs off his console, and moves to the turbolift and enters it ::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
~~~OPS: So how are you feeling E'Laina?~~~ :: she taps a few more buttons on the side console. She wants to figure out what exactly is 30 LY away from them ::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
<SO_Gallahad>  :: understands the CSO's motion and begins preparing a class VIII probe ::
 
CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
# :: lines the shuttle up with the ship and glides the shuttle in ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CMO:  Have quarters been arranged for the Commander?

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
<Inn> Turbolift: Deck 4.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CSO:  Come?  ::scratches head::  Strange.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
~~~ CMO: I'm feeling better, Ashley.  Thanks for asking.  I just had a violent episode and it seems to have passed now. ~~~

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: hears the CO ::    CO: Aye sir, quarters have been arranged for the new crew member.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
CO:  I agree, sir.  Either someone really wants to meet us or is deliberately playing with us.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
<Inn>:: exits the turbolift and steps to the main shuttle bay ::

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
:: once landed, powers down the shuttle and grabs her gear ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
:: looks at OPS, then CMO, then OPS ::  OPS:  Okay... great.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
<SO_Gallahad>  CSO:  Probe is ready, Sir!

Host ^SM_Pam says:
ACTION: The CIV's shuttle lands gently, a credit to the skills of the pilot

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
<Inn> :: enters the shuttle bay ::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
~~~OPS: Good. I would like to see you in Sickbay when we have time. I want to make sure your little one is doing well.~~~ :: looks towards Vince and smiles :: CO: They were assigned when E'Laina was gone, however she is back now and of course, it is her job. :: laughs a bit, noting his looks ::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
SO:  Launch it at once.  :: pushes some buttons on his console ::

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
:: opens the hatch and exits the shuttle with gear in tow ::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
<SO_Gallahad>  :: links to the launch control at tactical and launches the probe ::  CSO/CO:  Probe launched.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CSO:  Question is, come where?

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
<Inn>:: sees the shuttle has landed and approaches the CIV ::   CIV: Ma'am...I'm LtCmdr Phil Inn.  I'm here to escort you to the bridge.

Host ^SM_Pam says:
ACTION: The probe launches on a perfect trajectory

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
:: returns to his chair ::

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
Inn: Thanks, lead the way please.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
CO:  I would say we have a meeting at those coordinates... however, a little precaution is  due.  The probe will send us its telemetry in 15 minutes.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
<Inn>:: takes the bag from the CIV and motions her towards the doors ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CSO:  Then we'll see.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*CEO*:  Status.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
:: slightly bows ::  CO:  Yes, sir.

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
:: exits the Shuttle Bay with LtCmdr Inn ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@ Self:  Hmmm..... why is this so hard to get around if it is from the federation? ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
<Inn>:: walks down the corridor ::    CIV: I'll make sure your things get to your quarters.   :: enters an empty turbolift and holds the door for the Cmdr ::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
SO:  Keep your attention to the probe's telemetry.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: she listens up hoping that T'Ponga has found something interesting ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
:: sees on his display that the shuttle has docked ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
<Inn>CIV: Oh, and your quarters are on deck 7, room 2387.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
<SO_Gallahad>  CSO:  Aye, aye, lieutenant. :: smiles and looks at him with the corner of her eye, smiling even wider ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@ *CO*: Sir it seems that the computer and the device have become one instead of two separate systems.

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
Inn: Thank you. :: enters the turbo lift ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
<Inn>Turbolift:  Bridge    CIV: What was your last assignment, if I may ask, ma'am?

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
:: frowns at the CEO's report ::  CO:  That is odd.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*CEO*:  That means the technology was compatible, right?

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: continues to monitor the away team's bio signs ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@ *CO*: It seems like it is or it has adapted itself over the years.

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
Inn: I was on the Vesuvius.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
CO:  Somehow, it reminds me the Borg adaptation.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
Self:  Interesting.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
<Inn>   :: smiles ::   CIV:  I hear she's a good ship...galaxy-class, isn't she?

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CSO:  You read my mind.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: raises an eyebrow at Kalek and Vince ::

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
Inn: The best ship in the fleet.

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
Inn: I hate to leave her, but things happen.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*CEO*:  You didn't detect any Borg signatures, did you?

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: hears the CSO and CO and grins ::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
:: checks some readings ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
<Inn> :: nods ::   CIV: I understand.  I was previously on the Scorpius with my Chief of Operations.  I transferred with her when she came here.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
OPS:  I apologize, Commander.  I didn't mean to make any humor attempt.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CMO:  What we still don't know is what that strange machine down there does.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@*CO*: It is almost as if it had an AI that adapted itself to the federation computers.  That is what I thought of but when I scanned it there were no Borg signatures to be found.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: feels the lift slow and sees the doors open to the bridge ::   CIV: I'll see to your bag getting to your quarters.  :: holds the door for the Cmdr ::

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
Inn: What made you transfer?

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: smiles a the CSO ::   CSO: Oh no...I was...just feeling a little tickle.

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
:: exits the lift before getting an answer ::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: nods :: CO: Yes discovering its function may solve this mystery. Somehow this computer could have done something to create some of these problems. Of course, that is just a hunch sir.

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
:: spies out the CO and walks up to him ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*CEO*:  Okay, carry on.  If anyone can crack it, you can.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
<Inn> Turbolift: Deck 7.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
CO/CMO/*CEO*:  I cannot detect the forcefield from orbit. :: still pushes some buttons ::  *CEO*:  Commander, is there a way to beam the device up to further analysis?

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: hears the lift doors open and turns to see the new CIV ::

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Sir, Commander Alexandra Harmony Horn reporting for duty.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@ *CO*: Understood sir.  I will keep trying.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
:: sees the CIV and stands, extending hand ::  CIV:  Welcome aboard Commander.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
:: raises both eyebrows ::  OPS:  Oh...  very well.  :: nods ::

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
:: takes offered hand ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
:: shakes ::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
:: looks at a new officer reporting to duty ::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: notices the new woman on the bridge and smiles a bit ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: smiles at the CIV ::   ~~~ CMO: Great!  Another gal to add to our forces. ~~~   :: a slight giggle is heard in her voice ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: smiles towards the CSO ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@ *CSO*: I don't think that is wise at the moment.  When I got closer to it, the blasted thing lashed out at me.  I am afraid if you break the connection something unknown will happen.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
~~~OPS: Finally! Now we have some more backup.~~~ :: a laugh can be heard in her voice as well ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: giggles to herself ::   ~~~ CMO: No doubt! ~~~

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@*CSO*: To many unknowns here.  I wouldn't recommend it and besides from what I am reading now the transporters wouldn't get a lock on it at all.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
*CEO*:  Have you detect any sort of unstable components within it?

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*CEO*:  Unknown is our specialty Commander.

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
:: looks around :: CO: Anything I do?

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
*CEO*:  Understood, Commander.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@ *CO*: That sir is an understatement indeed.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CMO:  You have the Con.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CIV:  You're with me  :: goes to his RR ::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
:: looks at Ashley ::  CMO:  Are you okay, Doctor?

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
:: follows the CO to the ready room ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: makes a slight course correction in the Triton's orbit ::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CO: Understood Captain. ::opens up the CIV's personal file and looks over it :: CSO: Of course Kalek. Why do you ask?

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: watches the CO and CIV as they disappear into his ready room ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@ :: begins to try to find exactly what type and function this hardware is just about ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
:: sits at his desk, looking over the CIV's record ::

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
:: stands in front of the desk ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CIV:  Your record is.... I don't know where to begin.... please sit.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
CMO:  Hhhmm...  never mind, Doctor.

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
:: sits ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CIV:  I'm surprised you're not an Admiral.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: senses the CO's surprise and smiles ::

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Hopefully one day. But, right now I like to be in the trenches, so to speak.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
<SO_Gallahad>  :: keeps both eyes at the probe's telemetry as ordered... even though the probe's screen is still blank ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@ Self: Hello, what have we here?

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CIV:  Very well.  I can appreciate that.  Making more of a difference and all.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
CMO/OPS:  Sirs, may I speak freely?

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
<Inn>:: has exited the turbolift and found room 2387, placed the CIV's bag in her quarters and goes back to the bridge ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CIV:  What's your specialty?

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: You can say that, sir.

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: I can be a Jack of all trades. I did hold a few positions, but I pride myself on tactical.

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: I can run rings around any tactical officer in the fleet.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@ *CO*: Sir you might find this interesting.  The alien device appears to be powering the Federation computer and it is sustaining the old nuclear reactor.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: watches the away team's bio signs and sees she needs to make another correction to the Triton's orbit ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CIV:  Ah, good.  I wasn't sure what post you were expecting or where to put you.  I just took command and am still... adjusting.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CIV:  Excuse me.
CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: I know that feeling too. I am here to make your life easier.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
CMO/OPS:  I am not...  :: ponders a second about the next word ::... comfortable with the situation.  It is unlikely that a device would have power to work as long as the rest of the facility and the satellite are dead.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*CEO*:  That's interesting.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@ *CO*: I thought that would interest you sir.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
<SO_Gallahad>  :: scratches her chin a bit as Kalek's screen shows something ::  CSO:  Sir...

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*CEO*:  Indeed.  Any ideas from knowing that yet?

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
:: immediately looks at his screen ::

Host ^SM_Pam says:
ACTION: As Kalek watches his console, the screen shows the same word again......."Come"
OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: nods at the CSO's comment ::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
:: narrows eyes ::  OPS:  Commander, we have received another message.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: senses intrigue from the CSO ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
CSO: What have you, Kalek?

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CIV:  Well, we have a CTO, but he's on the surface at the moment.  Having someone of your experience to cover his absence will be really good.  

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
OPS:  This time, it is written in English.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@ *CO*: At the present I can't tell you.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
CSO: What's it say?

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CIV:  In the meantime, cover tactical till the AT returns. 

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Understood, sir.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
:: looks at her ::  OPS:  "Come".

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*CEO*:  I understand.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: turns to look at the CSO ::   CSO: Come?  To where?

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
:: stands ::  CIV:  We'll work the details out as we go, then.

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
:: gets up and heads out to the bridge ::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
:: again tries to reach its origin ::

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: I am sure everything will work out one way or another.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CIV:  Dismissed.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
OPS:  The same origin as the first message, Commander...  same origin as the scanning beams.

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Yes sir.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
CSO: I think you should let the Captain know, Kalek.  That could be significant.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*OPS*:  Commander, report to my ready room.

 CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
:: exits the ready room ::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
OPS:  Very well, Commander.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
*CO*: Aye sir.  :: sees Phil as he exits the turbolift and motions for him to take her position ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: moves to the CO's ready room and rings the chime ::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
*CO*:  Captain, this is Kalek...  I am sorry to interrupt you, but we have received another message.

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
:: enters the bridge and heads towards Tactical ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
<Inn>:: takes main OPS ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: enters the ready room as the CIV leaves ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
OPS:  Come in  *CSO*:  What's it say?

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
*CO*:  It is the same word.... "Come"... only this time it is written in English.

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
:: looks on and studies the readings displayed ::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
*CO*:  Same origin as the other message.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: relaxes ::   CO: I'm fine...really.  I was just feeling a bit...ill.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
<SO_Gallahad>  CSO:  I've lost the probe's track!

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
:: re-initiates the probe's systems ::  SO:  Let us see.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
OPS:  I wanted to apologize for neglecting you lately.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: places a gentle finger to his lips ::   CO: You're the Captain of this vessel.  I understand.  You don't have to apologize, my love.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
SO:  Odd... I cannot find the probe's primary telemetry.  It is like the probe has just vanished.  :: very calm, as usual ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
OPS:  I just want you to know that you're first in my life... you and our child.  I want let anything happen to either of you if I can help it.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
*CO*:  Sir... we have lost the probe.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
:: hugs her ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: shakes her head ::   CO: No, my husband...the Triton is your FIRST priority.

Host ^SM_Pam says:
ACTION: Down on the planet, the alien device begins to hum

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
Self: So much for a moment  *CSO*:  On my way.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: returns his hug and whispers ::   CO: Our child and I will be fine.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
:: exits the RR ::

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
:: ensures that all power levels are where they should be ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: smiles and follows the CO out of his ready room and retakes main OPS ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@ :: jumps back as the device begins to hum ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CSO:  What happened?

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
:: taps quickly, has the computer trying all known frequencies ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
<Inn>:: moves to secondary OPS ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
:: takes his chair ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@ *CO*: Sir this alien device just started to hum.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: senses the concern down on the planet and checks the bio signs of the away team again ::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
CO:  The probe has stopped sending its primary telemetry through its subspace transponder.  It is not possible to happen, unless it was destroyed.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*CEO*:  Give it some distance, and keep me informed of what the hum indicates.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@ *CO*: Understood sir.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CSO:  What was it's last position?

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
CO: Bio signs are steady and transporters are locked onto them.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
CO:  I am still picking up the Pollux V probe's transponder signal.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@ ALL: Lets give this thing some room.  I haven't a clue as to what this hum means.  :: motions for the AT to back away from it ::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
CO:  7 light years, Captain.  Sensors are not detecting any metallic object at the coordinates, nor debris.  Nothing.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
Self:  What the heck?

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
Self:  Hhhmm... odd...

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@ Self: And yet this is intriguing.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
CO:  The device back on the planet has started humming right at the moment we've lost the probe.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CSO:  One fact says it's destroyed, another says it's still there, and another says it just up and disappeared?

Host ^SM_Pam says:
ACTION: As the away team backs away, the door to the building is blown open by the force of the windstorm

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CSO:  That CAN'T be a coincidence.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
CO:  Class VIII probe has disappeared, Captain.  Class III probe in orbit of Pollux V is still online and sending its telemetry.

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
:: studies the readings in front of her, keeping quite since she is not 100% sure what is going on ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CSO:  Oh okay, got my probes mixed up.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
:: runs a scan on to the area the Class VIII probe disappeared... searches for any transporter signal of any kind... just in case ::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
CO:  That is understandable, Captain.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@ ALL: What the blazes? :: is rushed by the wind blowing into the building::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: senses the sudden fright from the planet's surface and double checks the away team's bio signs and the transporter lock on them ::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
<SO_Gallahad> CSO/CO:  And Pollux V probe has nothing unusual to report...  boring life, huh?  :: giggles ::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
:: looks at Gallahad and raises a brow ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
Self:  Di...did Mr Kalek just crack on me?....... Naaa.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
<SO_Gallahad> :: clears throat ::  CSO:  Sorry Chief.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@ *CO*: Sir the wind here on the planet just blew the door open.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CSO:  How's the storm looking now?

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*CEO*:  Do you need to return to the ship now?

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
:: looking like he had 20 fingers, pulls up a new window ::  CO:  It is intensifying now, Captain...  3.5%.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: watches the lock on the away team carefully as she senses an increase in concern planetside ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*CEO*:  It's getting stronger by our sensors.  Prepare to return to the ship.

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
:: decides that she needs to read the ship logs to catch up on what is happening ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
CO: Transporter lock is still strong on the away team, sir.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
OPS:  Beam them back.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
:: stands and quickly heads to the tactical stations ::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
CIV:  Greetings, I am Lieutenant Kalek.  Welcome aboard, Commander.  :: bows ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@ *CO*: Understood sir.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CSO:  Send the coordinates of the last know position of the probe that stopped sending telemetry to navigation console.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@ ALL: Lets get together for beam out.

CIV_Cmdr_Horn says:
CSO: Thank you. Glad to be here.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@ *CO*: Ready sir for beam out.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: presses several buttons and initiates the transporter beam ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
CO: Transporter beam activated, sir.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
CO:  Aye sir!  :: nods to the CIV, returns to his station and feeds Navigation with the coordinates ::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
Helm:  You have the coordinates.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: sees the coordinates come in and sets a course, ready on the CO's mark ::

Host ^SM_Pam says:
ACTION: Once more the CSO's console displays the single word "Come" as the away team is transported back to the ship
