Summary: Just when the Triton crew were fixing to enjoy their shoreleave, they were all ordered back to the ship. Shoreleave was cut short.

There has been a distress call received by the Starbase coming from the Gamma Ceti system. The Triton is the only ship close enough to investigate.

Ship repairs will have to be made in route.

How important is this distress call. Starfleet or the Federation has no interests there at all. Could it be trap, or is it really some one needing help.

Stay tuned for the 2nd exciting chapter in-“ShoreLeave?”

Chapter 2-“00:00”

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

::On the bridge in the centre seat, going over things on the PADD in front of her.::

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

::On the bridge at her station pulling up everything she can on Gamma Ceti.::  Thinking to self:  Captain is not going to be pleased.  ::Makes a face.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:

::over by the engineering console going over the ships repairs::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

::Looks up from her PADD.::  OPS:  Anything on that distress call yet?

Host JonB says:

<AFCO>CO/XO: We are cleared to leave.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

COM:SB 16:  OPS:  This is the Triton.  We are prepared to leave.  Permission to disengage the docking clamps.

OPS_Lt_Gaeb says:

CO: Nothing, but Starbase operations has cleared us for departure

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

OPS:  Excellent.  Keep trying to get someone on the other end of the distress call.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

FCO:  Disengage clamps and take us out.

Host JonB says:

<Station OPS> COM:Triton: You are cleared to disengage.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

<FCO> CO:  Disengaging the docking clamps.  We are prepared to leave at 1/4 impulse.

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:

::moves back to his seat:: CO: Lets hope she holds together, what was Starfleet thinking?

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

XO: That is just it Mark.  They weren't thinking.  I think they just want us out of the way, out of the way of the investigation.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

FCO:  Engage at 1/4 impulse.  Go to warp 4 once we are out of the system.

Host JonB says:

Action: There is a Ferengi freighter moving toward the station running faster then regulations dictate in the same lane as the Triton. But not blocking the Triton.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

<FCO> CO:  Aye Ma'am.  Engaging 1/4 impulse.  Will go to Warp 4 in 5 minutes.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

CO/FCO:  I am picking up a Ferengi freighter moving toward the station moving really fast!

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:

::looks surprise looks around and then moves close to the captain:: CO: Sir are you suggesting a cover up?

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

FCO:  Might want to adjust your heading.  That freighter looks like it's going to hit us.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

::Shakes head::  XO:  No, just expediency.  This is really a sticky situation.

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:

FCO: Take us out of the lane

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:

OPS: Hail the vessel

OPS_Lt_Gaeb says:

CO: Sir, the freighter is warning their engines are overheating, but I still can't get a two way communication

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

<FCO> XO/SO:  Adjusting course.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

OPS:  Life signs?

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

CO:  Suggest notifying the station as well, Captain.

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:

OPS: Lock tractor beam on vessel when it is in range

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

SO:  Do so.

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:

CO: Yellow alert sir?

OPS_Lt_Gaeb says:

XO: Sir if we do and the ship explodes we will get full damages

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

XO:  No, not yet.  The station can destroy the ship.  OPS:  Lock onto the life signs and beam them aboard the station.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

::Nods to the Captain.::  COM: Station OPS:  This is the USS Triton.  You have an incoming Ferengi vessel, engines unstable, headed your way, running out of control.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

CO:  Engines unstable, Captain.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

OPS:  Get those Ferengi off the ship.

OPS_Lt_Gaeb says:

CO: Yes sir

OPS_Lt_Gaeb says:

:: initiates transport ::

Host JonB says:

<Station OPS> COM:Triton: We are advised they are cleared to proceed

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

CO:  Captain, they have kemocite for cargo.  That's a radioactive compound, Sir.

OPS_Lt_Gaeb says:

CO: There seems to be a lot of interferences, can't get a transporter lock

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

::Stands up::  OPS:  Understood.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

SO:  Make the station understand the ship is going to go boom if they don't do anything and they need to get on their sensors.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

CO:  Their warp core is breaching.  Can we get a lock on their warp core and beam it into space?  Is that even possible?

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

OPS:  Try again.  If that doesn't work... we may have to go to them.   XO:  Prepare an away team and bring some pattern enhancers with you.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

SO:  Yes it is cadet.  But it maybe difficult with the interference, but try anyway.

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:

CO: Yes sir

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:

SO: Cadet your with me ::heads for the turbolift::

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

::Initiates standard distress signal on all channels.::  COM: Station OPS:  That Ferengi vessel contains kemocite in their cargo hold, highly explosive.  Suggest you make accommodations for it!

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

::Turns her station over to duty CSO, and heads with the XO into the TL.::  XO:  Sir, where are we going?

Host JonB says:

Action: As the freighter come along side the Triton, it's warp core breaches, exploding the freighter. The Triton is thrown back. All power has failed.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

::Goes flying across the bridge hitting the far bulkhead::

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:

::smashes into the wall and then lands on his back::

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

<Duty CSO> ::Falls against the console.  Attempts to lock onto the warp core and beam it off.::

OPS_Lt_Gaeb says:

SO: Your warning was a bit late cadet.....

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

::Falls out of the TL back onto the bridge.::  OPS:  I can see that.

Host JonB says:

Action: Emergency lights come on.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

::Tries to get her wits about her.  Has ringing in her ears.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:

::starts to get back to his feet:: ALL: Report!

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

::Sees the Captain has fallen, and picks herself up and runs over to the Captain.::  CO:  
Captain, are you okay?

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

<Duty CSO> XO:  I am detecting power failures throughout the ship.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

::Slowly gets to her feet.  Sees people starting to get up.::  XO:  Report.

Host JonB says:

<AFCO>  ::gets up off the floor and goes to console::  XO: Sir,  I don't have engine control, we are drifting.

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:

CO: We are losing power through the ship

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:

OPS: Locate the bleed and reroute

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

<Duty CSO> CO/XO:  Ship is on emergency power.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

::Makes her way to the front of the bridge.::

OPS_Lt_Gaeb says:

CO: Actually power is lost, I don't know the extent of the damages but I'd say we will be powerless for some time unless we get back to Starbase, we may need a tow

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

FCO:  Get what control you can and get us back to the station.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

::Accesses science 2 to attempt to find out what happened to the freighter.::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

OPS:  Contact the station.

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:

::heads for the engineering console::

Host JonB says:

Action: Power begins to restore through out the ship.

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:

::starts to operate the console with what power it has:: CO: Sir he have received little damage but the core is offline

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

XO:  We need to get back to station.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

CO:  Sir, this is going to sound extraordinarily strange, but the freighter that just hit us doesn't exist.  It's no longer on sensors.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

SO:  So what hit us?

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:

::runs a few more queries on his console:: CO: Sir we have thrusters and impulse

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

CO:  The freighter, Sir.  I need to check logs ...

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

XO:  Good...let's get back to the station and determine the damage.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

CO:  Captain, another strange thing.  There's no traffic... anywhere.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

OPS:  Have you been able to contact the station?

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:

AFCO: Take us back o the station

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

CO:  Sensor logs confirm we were hit by the vessel, but it just simply no longer exists.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

CO:  Our clocks appear to be broken as well.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

::Stops and looks hard at the Cadet.::  SO:  Cadet, determine our position.

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:

SO: That can't be right, sir the computer core must have been damaged

OPS_Lt_Gaeb says:

CO: Power is slowly coming back from decks to decks, I'll be able to contact the station in a moment

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

CO:  Position, Sir?  We are right where we left, according to the star charts.  But there are no life signs aboard the station, Sir.

Host JonB says:

<AFCO> XO: Aye sir, but I’m not getting any beacons or anything from the station to navigate by.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

CO:  The station is unmanned.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

SO:  Then don't use the star charts.  Look out the window if you have it.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

Silently to self:  What the heck happened to all the people?

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

XO:  Mark, something is not right here.

OPS_Lt_Gaeb says:

COM: SB: USS Triton to Starbase, do you receive?

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

::Nods to her, and puts the main viewscreen on.::

Host JonB says:

Action: There is nothing on the COMMS.

Host JonB says:

Action: On the view screen is an image of the starbase.

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:

CO: Sir I suggest we launch a shuttle to double check the information our systems are telling us

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

XO:  I think you are right.  Take a couple people and take a look.

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:

SO: Cadet lets go for a ride

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

XO:  Sir, in knowing that the kemocite may have been radioactive, I suggest we go in EVA suits.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

::Gets up out of science 2, nods to the duty CSO, and walks toward the TL, waiting for the XO.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:

::steps into the turbolift:: TL: ShuttleBay 1

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

::Enters the TL with the XO, and waits for the TL to take off to the shuttlebay deck.::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

::Goes to her seat and gets the damage reports from the other decks.::

Host JonB says:

<ACEO>  *CO*: Sir, all systems seems to be running back to normal, but the warp core will take some time to get back up.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

*ACEO*:  Understood.  Do what you can.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

*ACEO*:  ETA?

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:

::steps off the turbolift:: SO: Cadet you get the suits out while I start pre launch checks

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

<Duty CSO> Out loud:  Talk about being knocked into another planetary zip code!

Host JonB says:

<ACEO> *CO*: Well, we are having to do a cold start.   I don't understand why.  I would say 3 hours at the most  hopefully sooner

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

XO:  Aye, aye, Sir.  :: heads to the lockers to grab two suits.::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

*ACEO*:  The sooner the better.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

OPS:  Anything on communications?

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:

::climbs into a type 9 shuttle and begins the checklist::

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

<Duty CSO> CO:  The only thing I can possibly think of is that we may have entered some kind of a time warp, or space bubble of some kind, Captain.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

::Returns to the shuttle where the XO is, and hands him his suit.::  XO:  Wish they had these in pink, Sir.  Do you think I can special order one when we get back?

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

ACSO:  That what I am thinking.... is there a singularity, chronoton particles anything?

Host JonB says:

<AOPS> CO: No ma’am,  there is nothing there, no COMMS no communication of any kind.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

<Duty CSO> ::Checks for chronoton particles.::  CO:  No chronoton particles in the area, Sir.  Checking for singularities.  ::Running scans.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:

::places the suit on a nearby console as he finishes up the checklist:: SO: With command lately you can never tell

OPS_Lt_Gaeb says:

CO: I get no answer to my hails

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

::Smiles at the XO, and then steps into her suit, making sure it is sealed.::

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

<Duty CSO> CO:  Sir, if I had to give you my professional opinion, I would swear we are stuck in time, stuck in a space bubble if you were.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

ACSO:  Does the Kemocite react with anything in space?

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:

::climbs into his suit and checks the suits before removing the gloves:: *OPS*: Bridge we are ready to depart

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

<Duty CSO> CO:  There are residuals of the kemocite, and kemocite has been known to cause cascading reactions in time, Sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:

::closes the rear hatch and waits for permission::

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

<Duty CSO> CO:  As well as it is known for being used as a weapon.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

<Duty CSO> CO:  It has been known to cause temporal phenomena.

OPS_Lt_Gaeb says:

*XO*: Acknowledge, good luck sir

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

ACSO:  Ok then, the Kemocite has done something.  Now can the Kemocite reverse the effects?

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:

SO: Ready?

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

<Duty CSO> CO:  That I am going to have do a little more work on, Captain.  But it appears as though we have the time.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

XO:  Ready when you are.  I kind of hate these things, but I don't want to take any chances.  Know what I mean?

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

<Duty CSO> CO:  Basically Captain, if we are stuck in a temporal phenomenon, we will need equal equivalent of a reaction to get ourselves home.  

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:

::remotely opens the shuttle door and takes the shuttle out:: SO: What are this things suits or shuttles?

Host JonB says:

Action: The shuttle bay doors open.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

ACSO:  Make it so.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

@XO:  The suits, Sir.  I don't like wearing them.  They're uncomfortable and bulky, but it will be okay.  Once we're aboard and I run some scans, hopefully we'll be able to take them off.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

<Duty CSO> CO:  You don't understand, Captain.  We have to "find" something of equal equivalent to the reaction.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

ACSO:  So where do we find it?

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:

@SO: Good thing you were not born a few hundred years ago, start all sensor sweeps

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

<Duty CSO> CO:  I don't know, Sir.  ::Perhaps some scans of the area or the starbase will reveal something we can use.  I'm hoping it doesn't involve our warp core.  That would be a last resort.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

@::Nods to him, and smiles.::  XO:  Aye, Sir.  ::Begins sensor sweeps of the area.::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

ACSO:  As we just saw, Kemocite and warp cores doesn’t interact well.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

@XO:  Detecting residuals of the kemocite, Sir.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

OPS: Lt Gaeb, please start searching for Kemocite and get back to the ACSO.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

<Duty CSO> CO:  Aye, Sir.  They do not.  However I must point out the obvious .. right now, our warp core is our best friend.  I suggest we find a way to keep it healthy.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

@XO:  No life signs aboard the station.

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:

@::moves the ship are the Triton to check out the damage:: SO: Anything else like the ship that hit us

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

@XO:  No signs of the Ferengi vessel at all, Sir.

OPS_Lt_Gaeb says:

CO: Sir, I'll launch a few probes but we might need to search in many sectors before finding some

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

<Duty CSO> *SO*:  Cadet, we may be looking at a temporal anomaly here, so when you get aboard the station, look for anything that can be used to generate an atomic blast that we can use to ignite with the residual kemocite to get us home.

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:

@SO: Try the comm get anyone on any Starfleet channel

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

OPS:  If this Kemocite was so highly regulated, wouldn't the deposits be in the database?

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

@*CSO*:  Aye, Sir.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

@::Sends a federation distress signal on all standard channels, and sets it on repeating patterns.::  XO:  So far, nothing, Sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_Arca says:

@COM:Triton: Arca to the Triton

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:

@XO:  Look at all that scarring on the haul from the explosion.  It's amazing our shields held up through it all.

OPS_Lt_Gaeb says:

CO: The geological data should be classified at Starfleet Command

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:

OPS:  If you can get that far, I'll give you my codes.

OPS_Lt_Gaeb says:

CO: There are a few refinery facilities that are known to be
