Summary:
Trouble has followed the Triton once again as it continues its mission to Serenity. This crew seems to attract problems no matter what they try and do to avoid it.

Captain Porter of the USS Kensington, asked Captain K'Vas about the new two man scout ship that the Triton Captain designed. Being the good host, K`Vas took the younger man for a short jaunt in the Oracle, and now the two Captains and the Oracle have disappeared from sensors.

Commander Tierney has taken temporary command of the Triton while they investigate the incident and search for the Oracle and her passengers, while Vice Admiral Sheridan remains on the Kensington.

Still a week from Serenity, the crew must find their Captain soon, but where do they look? The Oracle was last detected at warp 7 heading towards Serenity just before it disappeared. Are the Triton sensors faulty or is there more here than meets the eye?

::Keeps the sensors scanning, searching for anything; warp signatures, hull signatures, transponder signals... anything.::

CMO_Santiago says:
::Steps onto the bridge and looks around.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
Out Loud: Bloody hell!?!?!  What happened to the Oracle?  I can't sense the captain any more.

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
::Sitting at her console staring at the tactical sensors.::

OPS_Ens_Gaeb says:
COM: Kensington: Urgent message for Admiral Sheridan.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CTO:  Were you able to detect any threats in the area that may have caused the Oracle to disappear?

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
XO: None, Commander.

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@COM: Triton OPS: Ensign, this is Admiral Sheridan. Go ahead.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Opens her console and does scans for the Oracle's ion trail.::

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CEO:  Commander Mo'Bri, can you provide a boost to the sensors to help determine if the Oracle changed course from Serenity?

CMO_Santiago says:
::Moves to the nearest med station.::

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
XO: Everything is quiet. Nothing to indicate cloaked ships or anything else that could explain this.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
XO: You got it.  ::Boosts the confinement beams for the sensors and feeds more power into the pallets.::

OPS_Ens_Gaeb says:
COM: Kensington VADM: Commander Tierney wants to inform you that the Oracle has disappeared with Captains Porter and K'vas onboard.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CTO:  Are you still detecting the Oracle's warp trail, or has it disappeared?

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@COM: Triton OPS: Ensign, let me talk to the Commander now!

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
::Miserably.::  XO:  I have nothing

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
XO: We lost the ion trail but if she was heading for Serenity we need to move with all due haste.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CEO:  Not until I talk to the Admiral.  She may have some information for us.

OPS_Ens_Gaeb says:
XO: Admiral Sheridan requests to speak with you.

CNS_Turnbull says:
::Finishing studying her notes on the last couple sessions that she had completed.::

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
XO: That was their last known heading according to sensors.

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
CEO: Has engineering confirmed that the sensors are working properly?

OPS_Ens_Gaeb says:
XO: Do you want to take the communication here or in the ready room?

CNS_Turnbull says:
::Begins making entries in the necessary personnel files.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
XO: I pray she does. For whoever has the Captain is going to pay with their life.  This I have sworn.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
::Straightens her uniform, and nods to Ensign Gaeb.::  OPS:  Yes, thank you, Ensign.  I'll take it here.  

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CSO: You have a better sensor array now.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
COM:  Kensington VADM:  This is Commander Tierney, Admiral.

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Quirks an eyebrow at the Chief Engineering Officer, but shakes his head quickly, paying attention to the sensors.::

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@COM: Triton XO: Commander what is going on? Where is Captain K`vas?

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
::Tries the Tactical sensors again now that they've been boosted.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CSO: I have extended your sensor range.

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
CEO: I gathered that.  Thank you, Commander.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
COM: Kensington VADM:  Captain K'Vas and Captain Porter went out in the Oracle.  Captain Porter was expressing an interest in the Oracle, and the Captain agreed to allow him to take it out .. with his being there, of course.  They went to warp and disappeared from sensors.  Their last known heading was to Serenity.

CNS_Turnbull says:
::Stretches slightly and looks back at her notes to verify her entry.::

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Furrows his brow slightly, double checking something.::  XO: Commander, I'm picking up an ion trail headed towards Serenity, but it ends after 20,000 kilometers, Sir.

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@COM: Triton XO: Any debris, other ships, anything in the area?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
~~~XO: I will have the head of the lo-be-Vos and p'tak when I find the Oracle and who is responsible this I swear.~~~

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
::Shakes her head, frustration showing plainly.::

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
::Looks at the Chief Science Officer, then back at the Admiral.::  COM: Kensington VADM:  According to our sensor logs, the ion trail was on a heading to Serenity, but it ended after 20,000 kilometers.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CSO:  Any debris?

@ACTION: The Admiral is visibly shaken at the news.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
COM: Kensington VADM:  I'm sorry, Admiral.  We're doing everything we can to locate him, Captain Porter, and the missing Oracle.

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Checks the readout.:: XO: Negative on debris.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
COM:  Kensington ADM:  The good news is that there is no debris on sensors.  The bad news is that they simply disappeared, and I'm not sure how that's possible.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CEO:  Commander, you probably know the Oracle better than I do.  Was it equipped with any special cloaking devices?  I am not familiar with the technology.

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Can think of one particular method... but that's classified, now.::

CNS_Turnbull says:
::Taps the entry pad saving the final data.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
XO: No, Commander.  The Oracle was strictly recon.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CEO:  Can you explain how she would have just disappeared?  Any ideas?

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@COM: Triton XO: I understand, Commander. Please continue your search. I will remain here and inform the Kensington crew.  By the way is your doctor free? I could use her here if possible.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CSO/CTO:  Any ideas on what might have happened?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
XO:  She had a very fine tuned sensor grid and basically is a fast and maneuverable ship.

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Sighs softly.::  XO:  Nothing concrete, just a few theories.

CNS_Turnbull says:
::Pulls up another series of personnel files before walking over to the replicator for a fresh cup of Vulcan spiced tea.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
XO: The only thing I can think of is either Porter incapacitated the captain and took the ship or they both were captured and whoever is responsible is dead.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
COM: Kensington VADM:  I will check with her, Admiral.  Would you like her to beam to the Kensington or would you prefer to beam here?

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CSO:  Can you work with Tactical and Engineering to come up with an idea on what may have happened, please.

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
XO: Someone with an advanced cloaking device is all I can think of.

CNS_Turnbull says:
::Returns to her desk, inhaling deeply before taking a sip and returning her attention to the personnel files on the screen in front of her.::

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@COM: Triton XO: I need her here, please. The EMH is down.

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Frowns, hating working in groups.::

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
COM: Kensington VADM:  Very well, send the coordinates to Operations please, and I will have her do a direct beam.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CSO: You will not need me.  I am no scientist.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CMO:  Commander Santiago, do you have a few minutes you can spare?  The Admiral is requesting your presence on the Kensington.  It appears their EMH is down and the ship is in need of a medical doctor.

@ACTION: The Kensington sends the coordinates to the Triton.

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
CEO: I may need you... I need the sensors as fine-tuned as you can get them.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CSO: I will find tune them again then.

OPS_Ens_Gaeb says:
::Receives the Kensington coordinates and notifies the transporter room that he will take over the controls for that critical transport.::

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
~~~CEO:  We'll start with any information we can find on what happened, and work it out from there, Commander.~~~

OPS_Ens_Gaeb says:
XO: Transporters ready as soon has the doctor has prepared his medical kit

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Hands fly across the console and narrow the confinement beams even more and bring the resolution of the sensors to their highest level possible with out burning out the pallets.::

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
CSO: I don't know how much good I can be, but I can contribute some tactical theories.

CMO_Santiago says:
XO:  Of course, Commander.

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Refocuses the sensors and begins scanning for spatial anomalies, such as vortices, quantum filaments, or old fashioned subspace fissures.::

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CMO:  Thank you, Doctor.  Gather whatever you need, please, and Operations will beam you directly to the Kensington.  And thank you.  ::Smiles at her.::

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
CTO: Can you come up with anything more specific than an advanced cloaking device?

CNS_Turnbull says:
::Shakes her head, wondering why some of these crew were still on active duty.::

CMO_Santiago says:
::Nods curtly.::  XO:  I'm sure the Kensington has all I need.  I'll just beam over.

OPS_Ens_Gaeb says:
CMO: I will wait your signal to initiate transport, are you bringing any material with you?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
~~~XO: You do not understand, Commander.  If K'Vas is not found or if he is found dead then I am dead.  I have a sworn oath to the Chancellor to protect K'Vas Son of Malok.  We need to find him or my life is forfeited.  A disgrace I will not be able to live with.~~~

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CMO:  Whenever you're ready then.

CMO_Santiago says:
::Holds out her hands.::

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
::Notes that the tactical sensor is beeping.::  CSO:  Yes I...hold on a sec. 

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
~~~CEO:  We will do everything we can.  For now, we need to all focus and work together.~~~

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
XO: Ma'am, I have a small spatial distortion about 10,000 kilometers away on sensors.

CMO_Santiago says:
OPS:  Anytime now, Ensign.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*Ko'tar*: Start working on the sensor grids, and get them down to the best resolution, and see if you can extend their reach.

CNS_Turnbull says:
::Slowly reads the reports in detail.::

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
::Nods to the Chief Tactical Officer.::  CTO:  Explain, Ensign.

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Refocuses the sensors, scanning the distortion.:: Self: Hmm...

OPS_Ens_Gaeb says:
::Initiates ship to ship transport.::

EO_Ko’tar says:
*CEO*: On it, Sir.  Ko'tar out.

@ACTION: The Chief Medical Officer is beamed to the Kensington.

OPS_Ens_Gaeb says:
COM: Kensington OPS:  I have beamed our doctor to your ship.  Please confirm you have her.

Kensington OPS says: 
@COM: Triton OPS:  We have her Triton.  Kensington out.

CMO_Santiago says:
@::Materializes on the Kensington and looks around.::  *VADM*:  I'm aboard what seems to be the problem?

OPS_Ens_Gaeb says:
XO:  Doctor safely on the Kensington, Commander.

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Monitors the results of the scan.::  Self:  Variance...

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
::Is glad no one else is disappearing.::  OPS:  Thank you, Ensign Gaeb.  I appreciate your taking time to verify she arrived safely and for taking the initiative to notify the Admiral.

CMO_Santiago says:
@::Exits the transporter room and goes to the nearest console and asks where sickbay is.::

CNS_Turnbull says:
::Makes notes on several crew that she wants to speak with soon and then begins sending notes to their department heads.::

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Feeds data from the variance into a small simulation, calculating the effects of a strong warp field coming into contact.::

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CTO:  What did you find out about the spatial distortion?

OPS_Ens_Gaeb says:
XO:  Only doing my duties, Sir.  And you did tell me to warn the Admiral.

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@CMO: Doctor, can you please come to Captain Porter's ready room?

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
XO: It's some kind of subspace variance, Commander.  I'm running a simulation to see what would happen should it come into contact with a warp field.

CMO_Santiago says:
@::Heads for the turbolift and stops mid-stride.:: *VADM*:  Of course Admiral.  May I have the location?

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
::Nods to the Chief Science Officer.::  CSO:  Let me know when you have something.

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
XO: Aye, Sir.

CMO_Santiago says:
@::Enters the turbolift.::  Computer:  Captains quarters.

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
XO: My sensors can't seem to get more specific than its position.

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@*CMO*: Bridge doctor.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CTO: What if we got closer to the position then maybe the Chief Science Officer can help out there.

CMO_Santiago says:
@Computer:  Belay that.  Change direction to the bridge.

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
XO:  It couldn't hurt.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
::Nods to the Chief Engineering Officer.::  CEO:  Agreed.  ::Informs the Flight Control Officer to take them closer to the spatial distortion.::

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
CEO: We shouldn't get too close, not until I know what kind of variance it is.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CSO:  We will keep a distance, but if getting closer will give us more detailed scans, then we'll take the chance.

CMO_Santiago says:
@::Feels the TurboLift stop and steps off onto the bridge.  She looks around as everyone stares at her.  Nodding she heads for the ready room and hits the chimes.::

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
::Advises the Flight Control Officer to take them to within 5,000 kilometers of the distortion.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*Ko'tar*: Strengthen Structural Integrity Field and Inertial Dampening Field.  We are going to need it.  See what can be done to possibly strengthen the warp field around the ship.  Don't go into the red on the engines.  We are going to need them to get out of the distortion.

EO_Ko’tar says: 
*CEO*: Understood. Q'apla!

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CTO:  If there are any signs of trouble, I want you to take us immediately to red alert and give the order to Flight Control Officer to get us away.  Don't wait for my order.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*Ko'tar*: Q'apla!

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
XO: Yes, Ma'am.

CMO_Santiago says:
@::Hits the chimes again::

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
OPS:  Inform the Kensington that we have picked up a spatial distortion on our sensors and are moving to investigate.

CNS_Turnbull says:
::Sends the messages, then closes down her console.::

OPS_Ens_Gaeb says:
XO: Yes, Sir.

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@::Turns in the chair.::  *CMO*:  Enter.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
XO:  Recommend before we leave that the Admiral have sufficient protection.

CNS_Turnbull says:
::Pushes back from her desk, then heads out into the corridor.::

OPS_Ens_Gaeb says:
COM: Kensington OPS: Advise Admiral Sheridan that we are investigating a spatial distortion, sending coordinates.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
*CNS*:  Commander, if you are not too busy, can you come to the bridge?

CMO_Santiago says:
@Self:  Finally.  ::Enters the room.::  VADM:  Admiral...  you sent for me?

CNS_Turnbull says:
::Walks slowly away from the counseling department.::  *XO*:  Of course, Commander, I'm on my way.

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@::Motions to a chair.:: CMO: Thank you for coming, Doctor.  Please sit.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CEO:  We are only moving 5,000 kilometers, Commander.  The Kensington should be fine, and I had Operations send a message advising of our current situation.  But I do appreciate your concern.

CNS_Turnbull says:
::Continues down the corridor to the nearest lift.::  Computer:  Bridge.

CMO_Santiago says:
@::Looks around....then takes a seat.::  VADM:  Ma'am I was given to understand that there was a medical emergency...  ::Cautious now.::  What is this about?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
XO: I am not talking about the ship, Sir.  I am talking about the Admiral herself.

ACTION: The Kensington acknowledges the message.

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Sighs softly, reading the data.::  XO:  I can see the warp field having any kind of transportational effect.  Whatever this is, it's not natural.

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@::Leans back.:: CMO: What do you know about Betazoid illness?

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CEO:  If I felt the Admiral was in danger, Commander, I would have taken the extra precaution.

OPS_Ens_Gaeb says:
::Composes a report on the situation for Starfleet command.::

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CSO:  Is there anything comparable to it in the Starfleet database?

CNS_Turnbull says:
::Exits the lift onto the bridge.::  XO:  You wanted to see me, Commander?

OPS_Ens_Gaeb says:
XO:  Sir, should we warn Starfleet Command of the current situation?

CMO_Santiago says:
@::Looks at the Admiral...::  VADM:  Are you Betazoid, Admiral?  Is there something you want me to know?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
XO: Understood, Ma'am but ...... ::Senses the Counselor.::

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
OPS:  Apprise them of our situation.  Yes, please.

OPS_Ens_Gaeb says:
::Transmit the report on a priority channel.::

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Cross-references the data with the Starfleet database.::

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@CMO: Only half, Doctor.  My father was human.

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@::Reaches over and hands her a padd.::  CMO:  This is what I need.  Can you replicate that drug for me?

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
::Walks over to the Counselor and lowers her voice.::  CNS:  I would prefer to have you on the bridge until we know exactly where we are going with the Captain situation, Commander.  I believe the crew would benefit from having the Counselor here on the bridge with us just in case there is any kind of breakdown, if you know what I mean.

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
::Monitors the tactical sensors closely.::

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CNS:  Plus I could use your expertise in analyzing some of the information that is coming to us.

CMO_Santiago says:
@VADM:  If you excuse the term, Ma'am... A half-breed doesn't necessarily lessen any symptoms.  Sometimes it could exasperate them since a disease may not follow a natural path... you could say it could mutate... It would be like...A half Betazoid not have full capabilities for telepathy as the genetic structure would be "Polluted" shall we say, by the foreign DNA.

CNS_Turnbull says:
XO:  Understood, I'll do what I can to assist.

CMO_Santiago says:
@VADM:  Should I bring up your medical profile?

CNS_Turnbull says:
::Looks over the information coming in.::

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CNS:  I noticed from your profile you used to be the Captain of the USS Apache, and although I am aware that was a very long time ago, certainly your knowledge will be a huge benefit to me as well.

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@CMO: No need, Doctor.  I just need the medication to control the telepathic headaches.

CNS_Turnbull says:
XO:  It has been a while, but the experience is still fresh.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
OPS:  Any response from Starfleet?

CMO_Santiago says:
@VADM:  After I do an examination, Ma'am.  It won't take long.  Shall we go to sickbay?

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
CEO: You said the Oracle has no cloaking device?

OPS_Ens_Gaeb says:
XO: No, Sir.  Maybe I can send the message to nearby ships and stations and ask them to relay to Earth.

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@CMO: Doctor, I just need to know if you can replicate the drug!  I am perfectly fine considering.  ::Stands and turns to the window.::

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
OPS:  Can you check log entries of vessels that may have passed through this area of space to try to find out if anyone has experienced any spatial distortions while in this area of space?  And yes, send the message to any nearby ships and stations advising them we have a missing vessel as well.

CMO_Santiago says:
@VADM:  I can replicate any drug you need, Ma'am....but Admiral or not....I'm the doctor here...maybe there is something another Doctor missed...change in the dosage...I'm not a drug dealer.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CTO:  Any information on that spatial distortion?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CSO: No.  If he put one in after I got the original specs....No, he didn't.  I was the last to do maintenance on her.  No, she does not have a cloaking device.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CNS:  If you think I am missing anything, please .. your advice would be deeply appreciated, Counselor.

OPS_Ens_Gaeb says:
::Locates nearby Starfleet ships and Starbases and sends them the report for relay to Starfleet Command.::

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
XO:  What I'm getting is similar to a cloaking device, but I'm not picking up any other ion trails or warp signatures.

OPS_Ens_Gaeb says:
::Sends out a general request to nearby ships for any unusual sensor data.::

CNS_Turnbull says:
XO: You seem to have everything under control, Commander.

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
XO: I'm getting the same readings as the Chief Science Officer, Commander.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CSO:  Are you picking up any neutrino or tachyon emissions?

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
::Nods to the Counselor, and whispers.::  CNS:  I guess I'm just a bit nervous about being in the big seat.  It was all a bit sudden, if you know what I mean.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CSO: How about chronitons?

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CSO:  If we moved closer to the distortion, would it pose a possible threat to our vessel?

CNS_Turnbull says:
CSO: Are the cloaking device traces directional?  Perhaps we could pursue scans in that direction and get further information.

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
XO: That's a negative, Sir. All I'm getting is the ion trail and the distortion.

CNS_Turnbull says:
XO:  Understandable, having the center seat is often uncomfortable.

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@CMO:  I can't explain more to you than to say it involves Vulcan DNA that was given to me as a child.

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
XO:  If we have our shields up, no, though there might be a few electrical charges.

CMO_Santiago says:
@::Stands up and leans over the desk turning the console to her.::  Computer:  Bring up Vice Admiral Sheridan's medical file.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CSO:  What would be the effect of those electrical charges?

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CEO:  Are you thinking a possible time rift, Commander?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
XO: You hit the nail with the hammer, Sir.

CMO_Santiago says:
@VADM:  Then I need to check it.  The DNA may be interfering with your body’s natural rhythms.  Your genetic makeup was not designed to take on Vulcan DNA.  It won't take long.  What drugs were you prescribed?  ::Reads the history.::

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Sighs softly.:: XO: Not very much, given our shield strength. Let me check something...

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Runs a simulation on what the charges would do to weaker shielding.::

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
::Nods to her.::  CTO:  Run scans for any chroniton particles.

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@CMO: Just get the drug, Doctor!  ::Her voice raises.::  It is all that keeps the pain at bay.

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
::Begins running the scans.::

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Remains curious as to what wasn't understood by "only an ion trail and a distortion."::

CNS_Turnbull says:
ALL: If it is a time rift, then we could possibly slip through time as well and not realize it until too late. We should keep a fix onto the nearest beacon.

CMO_Santiago says:
@VADM:  After sickbay. This won't take long.  The longer you argue with me, the longer you will be in pain.  I don't like to see patients suffer.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
ALL:  Counselor is right.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
XO:  Recommend a probe be sent first.

OPS_Ens_Gaeb says:
::Prepares a signaling probe to be fired.::

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@::Sighs.:: CMO: Very well, let's get on with it.

CMO_Santiago says:
@VADM:  We have to go to sickbay anyway.  That is where the supplies are.   

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Goes over the data again; there had to be something missing... besides the CO.::

CMO_Santiago says:
@Computer:  Medical emergency, beam myself and the Admiral to sickbay.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CTO:  Establish a fix on the nearest beacon.

@ACTION: The Doctor and Admiral are beamed to the Kensington's sickbay.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CSO:  Ready a probe to be sent into the distortion.

CNS_Turnbull says:
::Nods toward the Executive Officer as she looks over the information again to see if they have missed anything.::

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CSO:  Launch the probe when ready.

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
::Establishes the fix.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CSO:  What type probe are you thinking to send?

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Grimaces slightly, resisting the urge to hit something.:: XO: We've made a slight mistake, Commander.

CMO_Santiago says:
@::Moves to the nearest medical tray and picks up a neural inhibitor.  Places it on the Admirals head.::  VADM:  This should lessen the pain until I draw some blood and run the tricorder over you.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Raises an eyebrow.::

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CSO:  Explain, Lieutenant.  ::Cringes.::

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
XO: The ion trail doesn't belong to the Oracle.

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@::Lies down.:: CMO: You don't understand, that won't help.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CSO:  Excuse me?  Whose does it belong to?  ::Tries not to get too excited.::

CNS_Turnbull says:
::Bites her tongue as she was about to say exactly the same thing as the Executive Officer.::

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Does some checking.::  XO:  No idea. There's no record of it.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CTO:  Ensign, run scans immediately and do a search for the Oracle's trail.

CMO_Santiago says:
@::Looks down at the Vice Admiral.:: VADM:  It's only for a few minutes... what drugs were being prescribed for you?  ::Picks up a hypospray and places it against her neck and draws blood.::

CNS_Turnbull says:
CSO:  Collect all information on it you can, it may be of future benefit.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CSO:  So you're telling me that the ion trail we have found, which just so happened to be headed to Serenity, and now is lost, isn't even the trail we were supposed to be looking for?  

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Begins a log of the data.::

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
Out loud:  Maybe this isn't so bad.  

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
::Begins running scans and has the sensors search for a ion trail matching the Oracle.::

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CSO:  Can you tell if it's Federation or not?

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@CMO: Vulcan...root, can't remember.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CTO:  Try to get a match in the database on the vessel or at least the type of vessel that trail may belong to.

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
XO: No, Sir.  It matches no known ion signatures.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
::Frowns.::  CTO:  Never mind.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
::Looks puzzled.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Fists come down hard on her console and growls loudly.::

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@CMO: Immune suppressant, never knew the name.

CMO_Santiago says:
@::Chuckles:: VADM:  Well that makes it hard to replicate doesn't it....

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
::Looks toward the Chief Engineering Officer.::

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Looks to the Chief Engineering Officer.::  CEO: I hardly see how that helps.

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
CSO:  Keep running the signature through our database.  Hopefully the computer can find a match for whatever it is.

CMO_Santiago says:
@::Places the hypospray on the tray and picks up her tricorder....::  VADM:  ::Frowning::  I can see you are in pain.. your temporal lobes are inflamed...  

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Breathes slowly to calm her frayed nerves and her hatred for who ever abducted the captain.::

CMO_Santiago says:
@Computer:  List all the medicinal Vulcan roots...

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
::Senses the Chief Engineering Officer's stress levels rising.  Walks over to the Counselor and whispers.::  CNS:  I'm sensing heightened anxiety on the bridge, Commander.  ::Sighs.::

CNS_Turnbull says:
::Nods.:: XO: I'll keep an eye on her. ::Realizes who she is referring to.::

ACTION: A bright light suddenly engulfs the Triton making everyone blind for a few moments.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Instinctively hands go to her eyes.::

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::Blinks rapidly.:: Self: Oh, come on... not again...

CTO_Ens_Salan says:
::Shuts her eyes and lowers her head.::

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
@CMO: The pain is minimal, but it will increase if I use my telepathy.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
Out loud: Not again.

CNS_Turnbull says:
::Hands go defensively to her eyes.:: Self: What in the...

Host XO_Commander_Tierney says:
::Covers her eyes.::  Out loud:  What the ....?

CSO_LtJG_Sumner says:
OPS: Try and make contact with a beacon... I have a bad feeling about all this, like I've done this before...

OPS_Ens_Gaeb says:
::Checks all systems, in case something might not be working anymore.::

OPS_Ens_Gaeb says:
XO: All systems seem to be functional.

ACTION: When the light subsides, all seems normal but outside the Triton a contact is detected. It is the Oracle and she is dead in space.
