U.S.S. Vesuvius – September 12, 2000

Kris:
When last we left the crew of the U.S.S. Vesuvius, they had just come across a silver sphere floating in space.

Kris:
When scanned, it opened and a voice was heard throughout the ship.  "You have come" it said.

Kris:
Then the ship was whisked off at incredible speed to uncharted space where they found no trace of the silver sphere, but instead the birth of a solar system.

Kris:
It continues to develop at an accelerated rate as they watch, gather data and decide what to do...

CEO_Smith (Sound - Console2.wav):
::checks for interference from the developing solar system::

CTO_Kelson:
XO: Aye, sir.

CSO_Trelan:
XO: Scans have reportedly shown an atmosphere and single celled organisms forming.

CO_Alar:
Bridge crew: I'm looking for options, people.

OPS_Booker:
CO: what is going on ma'am!

XO_Lorenzo:
CO: The new system is indeed amazing, but perhaps we should have a part of our science team focus on a way home.  In case the sphere never returns.

CO_Alar:
::arches an eyebrow at Booker's outburst:: Booker: Listen, and you might learn something, Ensign.

CMO-LtRoyce:
:: finished reports, heads out to sickbay ::

CTO_Kelson:
CO: I think with the heightened radiation levels, we should raise shields.

OPS_Booker:
CO: yes Ma’am!

CO_Alar:
Doole: Have you been able to get a fix on where we are?

XO_Lorenzo:
::nods to the CSO::

CEO_Smith:
CO: Captain, we are getting a little interference from the development, but nothing serious at this time.

SO_Lane:
CSO: I'm picking up accelerated expansion on several fronts sir. Water formations, lush topical regions many other fascinating features forming sir.

CO_Alar:
Doole: And I'm asking for the nearest recognizable star.

CSO_Trelan:
SO: Thank you. Sounds like a pre-life Earth.

FCO-LtDoole:
CO: No, ma'am. Just pure, brand new uncharted space.

SO_Lane:
CSO: Similar configuration sir.

CEO_Smith:
::monitors interference::

CMO-LtRoyce:
:: looks around sickbay, everyone doing their jobs, walks back to office to monitor the bridge ::

CTO_Kelson:
::monitoring radiation levels and stress on the hull::

FCO-LtDoole:
CO: No recognizable anything, much less a star

CO_Alar:
Trelan: It sounds as if we're watching evolution....how soon could we see the extinction of this solar system?

CO_Alar:
Kelson: How is the ship holding up?

CSO_Trelan:
:: pulls up data from the ships computer :: XO: It looks like the growth of Earth, but at a 200 percent faster growth rate.

OPS_Booker:
:: look at ops for some thing to do ::

CSO_Trelan:
CO: Running a check.

SO_Lane:
::tries to get some sort of location on where they could possibly be::

CTO_Kelson:
CO: We have stress marks on the outer hull and radiation levels are rising but not to emergency levels yet.

CO_Alar:
Lorenzo: Get engineering on an escape plan...let the science department gather as much as you can.

XO_Lorenzo:
CO: Aye Ma'am.

CTO_Kelson:
CO: I still feel we should raise shields.

CSO_Trelan:
CO: :: shaking his head :: It's hard to tell. If we use Earth, or any other planet as a model, it could be a billion years.

CMO-LtRoyce:
*Aola*:  make sure our supply of hyronolin is in good shape

CO_Alar:
Ops: Keep an eye out for that silver sphere...I want to know the minute they get here.

SO_Lane:
CSO: Now reading animal lifeforms on several of the planets.

CO_Alar:
Kelson: Are we in that much danger?

CMO-LtRoyce:
<Aola> *CMO*:  yes Ma'am

CO_Alar:
Lane: Did I hear lifeforms?

SO_Lane:
CO: Aye ma'am, lower forms of animal life.

XO_Lorenzo:
::gets up and walks over to the CEO officer, stands behind him::

OPS_Booker:
CO: yes Ma'am!  :: start to look for a silver sphere::

CTO_Kelson:
CO: With the unknown happening all around us it seems like the prudent thing to do, in my opinion.

CO_Alar:
Trelan: Based on current rate of evolution, how soon will we see bipeds?

CIV_MacFarlane:
CO:I have some security concerns, if the planet that we are watching manages to spur intelligent life they could become a serious threat to us quickly, we've seen a little over a billion years worth of growth in the past hour... it only took humanity 800 years to go from sailing craft to warp travel.

XO_Lorenzo:
CEO: I'd like you to get your engineering team together and brainstorm on a way to send us back where we came from.

CTO_Kelson:
CO: I agree with the Colonel, Ma'am.

CSO_Trelan:
CO: At current growth, approximately 20 minutes.

CEO_Smith:
XO: Yes, ma'am

CEO_Smith:
::exits bridge and enters turbolift::

XO_Lorenzo:
::walks over to science::

SO_Lane:
CO: This system is accelerating at an incredible rate...

CEO_Smith:
Computer: Deck 36

CO_Alar:
MacFarlane: I understand your concern, but I think we're still a ways off from that. Wait until we see the bipeds, and then raise the shields.

CEO_Smith (Sound - Tlift.wav):

CTO_Kelson:
CO: We could be too slow in response to a threat by the time this system reaches certain evolutionary levels.

XO_Lorenzo:
::looking at the data on their consoles::

CSO_Trelan:
:: continues computations ::

SO_Lane:
::gets new readings of mammals now::

CEO_Smith:
::exits turbolift and heads for main engineering::

XO_Lorenzo:
::nods and takes her seat once again::

CTO_Kelson:
::continues with shields at the ready::

CO_Alar:
Kelson: Raise shields. ::thinking to herself....patience, young man::

CEO_Smith:
::enters main engineering::

CO_Alar:
Trelan: Can we get a better look at what's going on?

CTO_Kelson:
CO: Aye, aye. ::raises shields::

FCO-LtDoole:
CO: At this acceleration of growth, this system will destroy itself in a matter of hours

XO_Lorenzo:
::smiles at Sam's anxious behavior::

CSO_Trelan:
:: looks at scans disbelieving :: CO: We have a lower form of bipedal species. They have already formed tribes and I am also reading several life forms, seemingly in conflict.

OPS_Booker:
:: look at what is going on, on the Bridge::

CO_Alar:
::arches an eyebrow and wonders when Doole became a scientist::

CSO_Trelan:
CO: Trying for a visual.

CO_Alar:
Trelan: Put a probe into orbit..that may be better at relaying a visual signal.

CEO_Smith:
Engineering team: We need to plan a way back home, so lets get cracken'

XO_Lorenzo:
FCO: Make sure you have a course plotted out of here incase we need to leave in a hurry.  We'll leave the estimations on system destruction to the science department.

CEO_Smith:
<engineering team>:Aye sir

SO_Lane:
CSO: Sir, shall I prepare the probe for you?

FCO-LtDoole (Sound - Console2.wav):
::plotting course::

CSO_Trelan:
SO: Yes, please.

OPS_Booker:
CO: no silver sphere ma'am!

CTO_Kelson:
CO: I know I'm a little cautious, but if the species continue on their evolutionary rate, we could be in for a fight fairly soon.  May I power up weapons?

CIV_MacFarlane:
::contemplates suggesting preemptive genocide but decides that it wouldn't go over too well with the captain::

CEO_Smith (Sound - Console.wav):
::accesses the sensor logs from the time they left until now::

CTO_Kelson:
CO: We may not have time to charge them later.

SO_Lane:
::begins configuration of another probe::

FCO-LtDoole (Sound - Console.wav):
::sets warps engines on standby at Warp 7.6::

SO_Lane:
CSO: Probe ready sir.

CSO_Trelan:
SO: Launch probe.

FCO-LtDoole:
XO: Ready to make space tracks at the blink of a eye

CO_Alar:
Kelson: If you feel better with them charged, then do it. However, if you fire without my orders, there will be consequences. We are observers here.

SO_Lane:
CSO: Aye sir. ::launches the probe and monitors as it enters orbit::

CTO_Kelson:
::checks torpedo launchers and phaser array for readiness::

XO_Lorenzo:
FCO: You can work on charting the system with the navigational sensors.

CSO_Trelan:
CO: Visual coming in. On main viewer. :: shows a beginning industrial city ::

CTO_Kelson:
CO: Thank you, Ma'am.  And I'm not known for my trigger finger. ::smiles::

CSO_Trelan:
SO: Keep an eye on those outer planets. Let me know of any change.

CO_Alar:
Kelson: Sounds like you get a gold star, Lieutenant.

CTO_Kelson:
CO: No...they are firing on each other, Ma'am.  Sorry...::sheepish grin::

CEO_Smith:
::wanders, exits engineering and heads for turbolift::

FCO-LtDoole:
::charting system::

SO_Lane:
CSO: Yes sir, I have them on my scans now.

CO_Alar:
::smiles, but keeps attention on the most recent updates::

XO_Lorenzo:
CO:Perhaps taking up a position out of their sensor range would be prudent now.

CEO_Smith:
Computer: Holodeck one.

CIV_MacFarlane:
::scanning blast patterns to determine the yield of the explosives::

XO_Lorenzo:
CO: No need to alarm the natives.

CO_Alar:
Lorenzo: Agreed. Doole, do as the good Commander suggests.

CSO_Trelan:
XO: I estimate we only have about 10 minutes before they reach our level of technology.

CEO_Smith:
::enters holodeck one::

SO_Lane:
::monitors the outer planets for any changes::

CEO_Smith:

XO_Lorenzo:
CSO: That will be quite interesting.

CEO_Smith:
::after simulation, exits holodeck while shutting it down::

Kris:
ACTION: THE NUCLEAR WAR IS OVER ALMOST AS SUDDENLY AS IT BEGAN AND THE LARGEST PLANET IS NOW BARREN OF LIFE.

CTO_Kelson:
::keeps on toes for inevitable attack::

CSO_Trelan:
XO: Looks like they never made it. Planet is now empty of all life.

CEO_Smith:
::while entering the turbolift.....:: *CO*: Captain, I have a theory...we may not be in an uncharted space, but uncharted time.

FCO-LtDoole:
::looking at navigational sensor readings::

XO_Lorenzo:
CO: They destroyed themselves.  ::sad despite her attempt to be indifferent::

CO_Alar:
*Smith* Explain.

CTO_Kelson:
::checking planet for signs of weapons::

CEO_Smith:
::enters turbolift:: Computer: Bridge.

OPS_Booker:
CO: all life on the planet is gone ma'am all the city to!

CSO_Trelan:
XO: Request permission to take a science team to the surface.

CEO_Smith:
*CO*: That sphere we encountered could have acted like a planet that we "slingshot" around.

CMO-LtRoyce:
:: interested in bridge activity...glued to her monitor ::

CEO_Smith:
::enters bridge::

CO_Alar:
Trelan: I want you to stay in constant contact with Sickbay in the event that your team becomes affected by the "time" of this planet.

XO_Lorenzo:
CO: An away team to the planet would be very informative.  Although I have no idea if the accelerated pace would effect the away team, or if the sphere will return soon.

SO_Lane:
::yawns and stretches her legs::

CSO_Trelan:
XO: I may be able to allay your worries.

CO_Alar:
Lorenzo: We'll go with your recommendation.

CSO_Trelan:
XO: The accelerated rate has not affected us so far. We should be safe.

XO_Lorenzo:
CSO: That’s good to hear.

CTO_Kelson:
::still observing planet for possible danger::

CEO_Smith:
CO: I watched a slingshot maneuver done by another captain...

CO_Alar:
Smith: Can we duplicate that maneuver?

OPS_Booker:
:: run the last test ::

CTO_Kelson:
::wonders if the hull can take such a maneuver::

SO_Lane:
:;looks back at her monitor and brushes some fingerprints away::

XO_Lorenzo:
CSO: Prepare a team to come down and 'explore'.

CSO_Trelan:
XO: Aye.

FCO-LtDoole:
CO: Yes, I remember reading about that "slingshot" maneuver. I've never actually attempted it myself, but I am confident I can do it.

CEO_Smith:
CO: We need to fly close to a large planet and use its gravitational pull to slingshot us

CO_Alar:
*Smith* And what kind of a ship executed this maneuver?

CSO_Trelan:
:: touches commbadge :: *CMO,CEO* Report to Transporter room two.

XO_Lorenzo:
::stands up::  OPS and CSO: Meet me in Transporter room 1.

XO_Lorenzo:
*CMO* Doctor, I need you to meet me in Transporter 1 for an away mission.  Bring along your tools, we're going exploring.

CMO-LtRoyce:
*CSO*:  acknowledged

@*CO* That’s my guess as well.

CSO_Trelan:
@ XO: Appears so. If this is accurate, it shows the vessel heading for the farthest planet.

XO_Lorenzo:
@CSO: Our question now is, are these drawings just a history of past events or a message for us?

CSO_Trelan:
@ XO: I believe we should head for that planet. It could be a way back to our own system.

OPS_Booker:
