:: On the Bridge, sitting in her chair ::

SubLt T’Pau says:
@:: Enroute to visit her son, Lieutenant Lon Delar, T`Pau of Vulcan has boarded the S.S. Gikuyu, and stumbled upon an unfortunate incident. Now, an ex officer...she finds herself needing to take charge of a near-fatal situation. ::

CIV Galen says:
:: Just leaving his quarters, heads for the nearest Turbolift ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Enters the phaser range on deck 12 ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Steps down the ramp, approaches the XO's seat ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Goes to check out a mid-beam phaser, giving her ID and clearance ::

CIV Galen says:
:: Walks in ::   Turbolift: Bridge

XO Kelson says:
:: Looks down to see Chaser enter ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Looks up at the CSO and smiles ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Grins and nods at the CO ::

CIV Galen says:
Computer: Halt.   :: Stands for a second ::   Computer: Sickbay

OPS Chaser says:
:: Picks up her weapon, checks the heat sink and beam setting. ::

SubLt T’Pau says:
@:: She crosses the Engineering room to the primary core of the engine systems and begins to run diagnostics. She speaks in a calm tone and directs the freighter's personnel to various assignments. ::

CIV Galen says:
:: Taps his combadge ::   *CO* I'm going to be in sickbay until I’m needed

XO Kelson says:
:: Looks at PADD to see past results of Chaser training with phaser ::

Host CO Royce says:
*CIV* Acknowledged.  Hope you are all right.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Enters the firing range, shakes out her hands, lifts her phaser in her left hand. ::

CSO Trelan says:
<Hilton> CSO: Long-range scans are detecting the Typhoon, sir. She will rendezvous in three hours, fourteen minutes.

ASO Lane says:
:: Decides to make her way to the lab to check on a few things ::

OPS Chaser says:
Computer: Star-rt Pr-rogr-ram

CIV Galen says:
*CO*: Yes I am. Just going to go check in on the CMO.

FCO Horn says:
:: Does a quick on engines, making sure there was no damage done while sustaining max warp for the extended time ::

Host CO Royce says:
*CIV* Acknowledged.  Royce out.

SubLt T’Pau says:
@:: She checks a display and catches herself before letting out a sigh ::   Civilian: Open an emergency communications frequency...

OPS Chaser says:
:: Lifts her phaser hitting the first 10 targets flawlessly ::

CSO Trelan says:
Hilton: Acknowledged.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Looks over to the CSO ::   CSO:  3 hours?

CSO Trelan says:
:: Shrugs ::   CO: Maybe they got detained.

CIV Galen says:
:: Arrives at sickbay, walks out of the Turbolift and into sickbay, walks over to the CMO and looks down at him laying there ::

Host Gilles says:
Action: The Vesuvius receives a distress signal from the freighter SS Gikuyu

OPS Chaser says:
:: Takes a deep breath, concentrating as she aims and fires at the ever increasing speed of the targets ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Hits buttons on PADD to compare with rest of crew ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Misses a few here and there ::

XO Kelson says:
Self: I've seen worse...

CSO Trelan says:
<AOPS> CO: Captain...we are receiving a distress signal from the SS Gikuyu....

CIV Galen says:
ALL: What’s his condition?

OPS Chaser says:
:: The program ends with the computer stating she is qualified at level 14  ::

Host CO Royce says:
AOPS:  Can you put it on screen?

CSO Trelan says:
:: Turns and hits the data console ::

SubLt T’Pau says:
@COMM: Any Federation Ship: This is Acting Sub Lieutenant T`Pau of the S.S. Gikuyu to any friendly vessels. Our primary thruster assembly has failed, and we are currently caught in the gravity of a stellar field...any and all assistance would be appreciated by the Federation crew currently aboard...

ASO Lane says:
:: Arrives at the lab and makes her way to the nearest console and brings up the latest data on her last experiment ::

CIV Galen says:
:: Gets handed a PADD with information on it about the CMO, shakes his head ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Sighs and returns her weapon to the quarter master, by serial number ::

FCO Horn says:
:: Hearing the message, begins to plot a course to the distressed ship ::

CSO Trelan says:
<AOPS> Message coming in on subspace...audio only....

ASO Lane says:
Self: Darn it, I thought this would work, oh well back to square one.

XO Kelson says:
:: Records results in PADD ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Mills around noticing the XO in the observation area ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods as she hears the message... ::    FCO:  Cmdr, set a course

CSO Trelan says:
FCO: Warp nine...engage! Time to intercept?

XO Kelson says:
:: Nods to Chaser when noticed ::

FCO Horn says:
CO: Course already plotted Ma'am

OPS Chaser says:
:: Ducks and nods back to the XO ::

FCO Horn says:
All: Engaging. ETA is 9mins 54secs at warp 9

CIV Galen says:
:: Grabs a chair and sits down beside the CMO, looking into his eyes ::

ASO Lane says:
:: Begins a new round of test batches ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Looks to CO ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods ::

CSO Trelan says:
Hilton: Get a reading on that stellar field. I want all data yesterday!

CSO Trelan says:
<Hilton> CSO: Aye, sir.

ASO Lane says:
:: Adds the sugar but not too much ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Moves out of the observation area ::

SubLt T’Pau says:
@COMM: Vesuvius: I repeat, this is Acting Sub Lieutenant T`Pau...   :: Continues to repeat the message until the emergency beacon kicks in. She stops the message and leaves it on repeat, going back to her work trying to track the source of the systems failure. ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Moves out of the firing area watching another ensign shoot from the periphery ::

ASO Lane says:
:: Hopes she has the right amount of water this time ::

Host CO Royce says:
AOPS:  Send a message to let them know we are on our way

CSO Trelan says:
<AOPS> CO: Aye, Captain.

ASO Lane says:
Self: Let's see, strawberries...oranges....

XO Kelson says:
:: Moves on to turbolift ::   Computer: Sciences...

CSO Trelan says:
<AOPS>:: Taps at panel ::   COMM: Gikuyu: This is the USS Vesuvius. We have received your distress signal and are in route. We should intercept in 9 minutes.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Heads to the turbolift, Deck One ::

CIV Galen says:
:: Stands up, leans in and whispers into Lon's ear ::   Lon: You mean a lot to me.  Get well soon sweetie.
:: Stands up and walks out of sickbay ::

SubLt T’Pau says:
@:: She enters an access terminal and crawls into a control space, checking the primary plasma injectors. She runs several diagnostics, and as the other crew scramble around the small freighter, they completely miss the Vesuvius' response. ::

CIV Galen says:
*CO* Am I needed as of yet?

ASO Lane says:
:: Reads the instructions carefully again ::   Self: Oh the geletan.   :: Reaches for the beaker and adds it ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Enters science lab ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Exits the trubolift and scurries over to her station, waiting to report off from the previous shift.

Host CO Royce says:
*CIV* No, Mr. Galen.  I'll let you know.  Royce out.

CSO Trelan says:
:: Reads his console, reading it to CO ::   CO: SS Gikuyu...Starfleet registered freighter...ten-twenty crew members....

CIV Galen says:
:: Stands there not knowing what to do, goes over to the nearest computer and starts reading up on the CMO’s condition ::

ASO Lane says:
Self: Now to refrigerate for several more hours.

XO Kelson says:
ASO: Working on a new potion, Miss Lane?   :: Smiles ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods...thinking ::

CSO Trelan says:
<AOPS>:: Stands ::   OPS: All yours, Lieutenant. We are intercepting a Starfleet freighter.

ASO Lane says:
:: Jumps as the XO speaks ::   XO: Commander!

Host Gilles says:
Action: The Vesuvius arrives in the system where the SS Gikuyu is located

XO Kelson says:
:: Peers into beaker ::   ASO: What do we have here...a new gelatin based life form?

FCO Horn says:
CO: Entering systems now, dropping out of warp

OPS Chaser says:
CSO/CO: Ltjg. Chaser reporting for duty 

CIV Galen says:
:: Notices the CMO's neural activity down to a normal state but still comatose with increased activity in the temporal lobe ::

Host CO Royce says:
CSO:  You've a background in engineering...what might cause her primary thrusters to go off-line

ASO Lane says:
:: Hides the beaker ::   XO: You wanted something sir?   :: Acts very jumpy ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Slides her tail through the slot and sits down ::

CSO Trelan says:
OPS: Take your station.

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  Thank you, Cmdr.

OPS Chaser says:
CSO: Aye Sir-r

SubLt T’Pau says:
@:: She crawls out of the access terminal and stands up, stopping an officer briefly for a status report ::
Self: ...if we don't get assistance by someone soon, the chances of our survival are...   :: She begins to calculate the percentages in her mind, and does not care to think of the results ::

ASO Lane says:
XO: You know, Sam, you could give a person a heart attack sneaking up them.   :: Smiles ::

CSO Trelan says:
CO: It could be a faulty plasma conduit...or even an antimatter leak in the plasma injectors....

XO Kelson says:
ASO: You know I like to see you move in any way, Lt.  :: Smiles ::

CSO Trelan says:
OPS: Scan the Gikuyu...what's her status?

OPS Chaser says:
:: Scans the ship ::

Host Gilles says:
Action: Sensors detect the ship being pulled into the star.

ASO Lane says:
:: Slaps his hand ::   XO: Commander, you sure know all the right words don't you?

XO Kelson says:
ASO: Now, you wouldn't be hiding something from your superior officer, would you?   :: Raises eyebrows ::

OPS Chaser says:
CSO: Sir-r the ship is being pulled into the star-r.

SubLt T’Pau says:
@:: She stands stock still as the ship rocks as the gravimetric stresses increase. She walks gracefully over to a console and begins to run diagnostics on the anti-mater injector systems as an officer picks himself up off the floor. ::

XO Kelson says:
ASO: I seemed to the other night.   :: Smirks ::

FCO Horn says:
CO: Approaching ship. 2mins to transporter range

ASO Lane says:
:: Giggles ::   XO: I refuse to talk, unless you plan on trying to force it out of me.

CIV Galen says:
:: Perking an eyebrow, thinks for a second ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Stands ::   Tactical: Try to lock on with the tractor beam!

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  Thank you, Cmdr

OPS Chaser says:
CO: Engines are off-line; ship is being pulled in, Ma'am.

CSO Trelan says:
<TO>:: Engages tractor beam ::

Host CO Royce says:
OPS:  Any response to our message?

XO Kelson says:
:: Raises hands ::   ASO: I would never force anything from you, Lt.  Shall I turn my back while you finish?

Host CO Royce says:
CSO:  Can we tractor them out?

CSO Trelan says:
CO: On it, ma'am.

CSO Trelan says:
<TO> CSO: Ineffective, sir! Too much interference from the sun's gravity!

ASO Lane says:
XO: Ok you win. Turn around.

OPS Chaser says:
CO: We have no Comm, inter-rfer-rence fr-rom the sun's gr-ravity, Ma'am.

Host CO Royce says:
OPS:  Keep trying to cut through that interference...let them know we are here

OPS Chaser says:
CO: Aye, Captain.

Host CO Royce says:
CSO:  Any other ideas, Cmdr?

XO Kelson says:
:: Turns around in a full circle ::   ASO: Now what?

OPS Chaser says:
:: Tries a multiphasic signal boost of the comm system. ::

CIV Galen says:
:: Does some more research on what he found, thinks to self ::   Self: A mild neuro stimulant might awaken our CMO.

ASO Lane says:
XO: Come here cowboy.   :: Wiggles her little finger at him ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Thinks ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Refines the pattern to create a stable stream for the comm signal. ::

SubLt T’Pau says:
@:: She goes to the communications display and moments from addressing the civilian sitting there, the ship rocks again and a power overload sends a surge through the console overloads...sending the officer to the floor - covered in plasma burns. She allows others to attend to him, and accesses the comm system, bringing up the last received transmission. ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Turns around and tips imaginary hat ::   ASO: Yes, Ma'am...   :: Moves closer ::

FCO Horn says:
CO: We might try getting close enough to extend our shields around it. It might help with the interference and able to get a tractor beam on it

Host Gilles says:
Action: The freighter will lose hull integrity in 35 minutes

CSO Trelan says:
CO: Command codes? See if we can get into her and try towing her out with her own tractor beam.

ASO Lane says:
:: Throws her arms around his neck ::   XO: You know we never did get to dessert.   :: Smiles sweetly ::

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  Lets try it.  I don't the Ves to get in the same situation though.

OPS Chaser says:
CO: Loss of hull integr-rity in thir-rty five minutes.

OPS Chaser says:
CO: Mar-rking time, Ma'am.

Host CO Royce says:
CSO:  Start working on that.

SubLt T’Pau says:
@COMM: Vesuvius: U.S.S. Vesuvius, this is the S.S. Gikuyu...please respond. I am preparing our emergency ejection system and will be releasing all the Gikuyu's escape pods. Hopefully your systems will be able to lock onto the pods more successfully. I will remain aboard in an attempt to repair the Gikuyu...T`Pau out...

FCO Horn says:
CO: Aye Ma'am.   :: Eases ship into position ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Sets the chronometer to match time left before hull breech. ::

Host CO Royce says:
OPS:  Open a channel...

SubLt T’Pau says:
@:: She closes the comm transmission and begins ordering civilians to the nearest escape hatches. She presses the fact out her mind that her son is aboard the Vesuvius. She is so close to him...but she can't do anything to help him...and he can't save her. ::

OPS Chaser says:
CO: Channel open, Ma' am.   :: Boosts the signal to maximum ::

XO Kelson says:
ASO: Really?  I sure thought you were sweet enough...   :: Smiles and puts hands around Hope's waist ::

CIV Galen says:
:: Takes the information down to a PADD, runs out of sickbay and towards the nearest turbolift ::

CIV Galen says:
TurboLift: Bridge

CSO Trelan says:
CO: Request permission to beam aboard and evaluate the problem. I will take a small team with me.

Host CO Royce says:
COMM: Gikuyu:  This is Captain Royce.  We are attempting to get close enough to have our shields surround your ship...

ASO Lane says:
XO: Sam Kelson, what are you doing?   :: Moves closer ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Refines the signal strength ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods to her CSO and whispers ::    CSO:  Take care, Dru.

CSO Trelan says:
:: Winks at the CO ::

XO Kelson says:
ASO: We do seem to be alone...for now.

Host CO Royce says:
OPS:  Are they receiving?

CSO Trelan says:
:: Taps combadge ::   *Engineering* Trelan to team three. Join me in transporter room three!

CIV Galen says:
:: Arrives at the bridge, walks down to the command deck, nods to the CO, waits for a response ::

OPS Chaser says:
CO: Ther-re is too much inter-refer-rence to tell Captain, I have refined the beam as much as possible. Ma'am.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods back to the CIV ::

SubLt T’Pau says:
@COMM: Vesuvius: Captain Royce...that would be an extremely foolish and an illogical action on your part. You must not endanger your own vessel. Concentrate on the recovery of the escape pods...

ASO Lane says:
:: Peeks around ::   XO: Yes we seem to be. Have something in mind?

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The Gikuyu is firing her escape pods

CIV Galen says:
CO: When you have a minute. It's about the CMO.

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  How close are we?

CSO Trelan says:
:: Enters lift ::   Computer: Transporter room three!

SubLt T’Pau says:
@:: She presses the command and discharges 5 of the pods, stranding herself aboard... ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Turns and nods to the CO ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Stands and approaches the screen ::

OPS Chaser says:
CO: Escape pods have been activated. Ma'am.

CSO Trelan says:
:: Exits the lift at a dead run...enters the transporter room and sees the team waiting ::

FCO Horn says:
CO: The ship is 45 kilometers off starboard bow.

CSO Trelan says:
Team: Let's go. Chief: Transport us right to engineering.

XO Kelson says:
ASO: Just a taste of sugar, that's all...   :: Reaches down to kiss Hope ::

Host CO Royce says:
OPS:  How many?

SubLt T’Pau says:
@:: She closes the transmission and after downloading the diagnostics into a PADD she begins to look over it. She almost smiles to herself, as she believes she's located a problem. ::   Computer: Extrapolate Gikuyu flight path for the last 144 hours...

OPS Chaser says:
CO: Time mark at 30 minutes to hull br-reech.

Host CO Royce says:
OPS:  Lock on to the life forms inside and get them aboard

OPS Chaser says:
CO: Five pods Captain.

OPS Chaser says:
CO; Aye Captain.

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  Can we extend our shields to them?

ASO Lane says:
:: Reaches up to meet his lips ::   XO: Dessert is being served Commander.   :: Looks into his eyes and
smiles ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Re-triangulates the transporter array in an attempt to lock on life forms. ::

CSO Trelan says:
<Chief>:: Runs fingers across board, initiating transport ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Systematically locks on to the five life signs and beams them to TR one. ::

XO Kelson says:
ASO: Good thing I'm in such good shape or too much more of this might be bad for me.   :: Smiles ::

SubLt T’Pau says:
@:: As the data comes on her PADD she sighs and begins to skim over the flight path, recalling a nebular gas the Gikuyu passed through several days before. She crosses the Engine room and seals it off as she exits. When the gravimetric stresses begin to collapse the hull, she would prefer not to suffocate, and as such she heads for a docking port sealing the route behind her. ::

Host Gilles says:
Action: The away team arrive on the Gikuyu

CSO Trelan says:
@Holog: Check out the anti matter containment!   Freb: Get a full reading on the impulse drive! Move!

Host CO Royce says:
*Security Team*:  Security team to Transporter Room one...escort the arrivals to sickbay

OPS Chaser says:
CO:  I have 5 sur-rvivor-rs in Tr-ranspor-rter r-room One, Ma'am.

CSO Trelan says:
@:: Runs over to a panel and pulls up readings ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods ::

XO Kelson says:
ASO: I guess I better report to the bridge now.  Duty calls.  But thank you for the sugar rush.  It should get me through my shift.   :: Kisses her hand as he pulls away ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Scans for Cmdr Trelan's pattern using a skeletal lock ::

ASO Lane says:
XO: Well cowboy, I'm sure a little bit of sweets won't corrupt you.

CSO Trelan says:
Self: Damn! These engines are fine!   :: Taps combadge ::

SubLt T’Pau says:
@:: As she reaches a pressurized chamber on the far hull of the Gikuyu, she immediately begins to suit up in a standard issue EVA. It does not occur to her that she has never been formally trained EVA operation, however the survival of the Gikuyu and her 'cargo' is dependant on her actions. Picking up a magnetic engineering kit, she moves to the decompression chamber hatch. ::

CSO Trelan says:
COMM: Royce: Trelan to Royce.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Boosts the confinement beam, trying to get a lock on Trelan ::

ASO Lane says:
XO: Oh Commander, remember you're welcome at this watering hole anytime.

Host CO Royce says:
COMM: CSO:  Royce, here...report, Cmdr

XO Kelson says:
ASO: Thank ya, Ma'am.   :: Moves out of lab and into turbolift ::

CSO Trelan says:
COMM: CO: Captain, there is no reason for these engines not to be working. All readings are green…I repeat, all readings are green.

CIV Galen says:
:: Nods to the CO, drops the PADD on the armrest of the CO's chair and walks to stand at the back of the bridge ::

ASO Lane says:
:: Sighs and returns to her work ::

XO Kelson says:
Computer: Bridge...

CSO Trelan says:
@<Holog> CSO: Sir! There is someone leaving in an EVA!

OPS Chaser says:
:: Turns to look at the CO, a lil worried at the Cmdr's report. ::

Host CO Royce says:
COMM: CSO:  Then what happened?

CEO Davis says:
:: Drops into Main Engineering and heads for office ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Enters bridge ::

CSO Trelan says:
@HOLOG: That has to be T'Pau! See if you can get through to her! If not, I'll have the Ves get a lock on her!

SubLt T’Pau says:
@:: She activates the magnetic constrictors on her EVA suit and steps out into the zero-g atmosphere. Devoid of light, sound, energy...zero Kelvin...-273 Celsius...the least hospitable environment in the galaxy, and yet creatures live here - fascinating...however trivial at the time. ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Sees hustle and bustle ::

ASO Lane says:
:: Picks up the beaker and puts it in the cooler unit ::   Self: There, let's hope it works.

XO Kelson says:
:: Moves to XO chair and sits to check situation reports ::

CSO Trelan says:
@<Holog>:: Taps badge ::   *T'Pau* Holog to T'Pau, do you read?

CEO Davis says:
:: Quickly overviews all information on the warp systems, making sure no problems were detected by any of the department's other officers ::

OPS Chaser says:
CO: I have a lock on the away team but, not T'Pau.

Host CO Royce says:
OPS:  Try to lock on to T'Pau...

Host CO Royce says:
XO:  Welcome Cmdr...

CSO Trelan says:
@*CO*: Captain...still unknown. We have someone outside the ship. It has to be T'Pau. Can you get a lock on her?

OPS Chaser says:
:: Marks time at 20 minutes to hull breech ::

Host CO Royce says:
COMM: CSO:  We are trying to at this time.  Can you get the engines to work?

OPS Chaser says:
CO: Aye, Captain.

SubLt T’Pau says:
@:: She ignores the officer on the other end of the comm. She has a duty to perform. As the strain on the Gikuyu's SFI becomes stronger, she feels the attachment between her and hull weaken and she retains her pace. Being hasty could lead to pour footing, and result in her falling away from the Gikuyu hull. ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Scans for Vulcan skeletal patterns ::

CEO Davis says:
:: Notices a few discrepancies, but nothing outside operating parameters ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Yells over the noise in the background :: COMM: CO: I don't know, Captain. We are going to try a cold start procedure. It was used on the Enterprise once.

Host CO Royce says:
XO:  There is an Away Team on the vessel...the vessel will breech in 20 minutes

XO Kelson says:
:: Nods to CO ::   CO: I see we have the best working on the situation.

CEO Davis says:
:: Heads for Bridge ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Still searching for a Vulcan pattern ::

Host CO Royce says:
COMM:  CSO:  Do what you can, Cmdr.  You have 20mins to breech...you have to do it in 15 or your team is out of there.

CEO Davis says:
TL: Bridge.

CSO Trelan says:
:: Attempts start...still nothing ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods ::

FCO Horn says:
:: Keeping the ship steady with all the stellar interference going on ::

CIV Galen says:
:: Slides over to a science station, taps a few buttons and activates it bringing up the information that’s on the PADD ::

CSO Trelan says:
@*CO*: Aye, Captain. Trelan out!

OPS Chaser says:
:: Boosts power to stabilizers for the FCO ::

SubLt T’Pau says:
@:: She finally reaches the port thruster assembly and begins to pry out several design tools. She begins to work on accessing the thruster release valve manually to discharge the clog in the assembly systems. ::

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: Shields are feeling the strain of extending around both ships...down 10%

Host CO Royce says:
:: Turns and sees the CEO ::   CEO:  Can you access their computer from here?

CSO Trelan says:
:: Runs hands across console ::

FCO Horn says:
:: Looks at panel and notices extra power sent to her from OPS ::

CEO Davis says:
:: Heads to aft engineering station ::

OPS Chaser says:
CO: Shields ar-re down 10 %

CEO Davis says:
CO:  I'll give it a shot.

FCO Horn says:
:: Looks over at OPS and nods her head in a thanks ::

Host CO Royce says:
OPS:  Shut down all non-essential systems...

Host CO Royce says:
OPS:  Send the extra power to the shields

OPS Chaser says:
:: Boost power to shield strength taking the ship to gray mode status. ::

CSO Trelan says:
@<Freb> CSO: Checking impulse engines...showing green line.

CEO Davis says:
:: Attempts to create an interface on his station that gives him some control over the freighter's computer ::

SubLt T’Pau says:
@:: Using all of her memory of Starfleet RCS thruster packs, she begins to disassemble the port valve, attempting to release the captured gas ::

OPS Chaser says:
FCO: Aye.   :: Smiles at the FCO ::

Host CO Royce says:
CEO:  Try and assist the CSO with whatever information you can retrieve...

CEO Davis says:
:: Sees that the link is established with ease ::

CEO Davis says:
CO:  Link established.

CIV Galen says:
:: Taps a few more buttons downloading more information   :: Smiles and snaps his fingers :: Self: Ah HA!

OPS Chaser says:
:: Continues systematic scans for Vulcan life signs ::

ASO Lane says:
:: Cleans up the lab and wonders if the CSO can use her help ::

CEO Davis says:
:: Immediately attempts to find the status of the engines ::

SubLt T’Pau says:
@:: As the valve releases, she reaches in and begins to pry out debris and clogs in the ship's system with her EVA protected hands. In any other scenario she could have been dead...however she is not concerned at the time and continues on with her work. ::

CEO Davis says:
:: Notices that the engines show as though they are working, and he frowns ::

OPS Chaser says:
CO: I am unable to lock on to T'Pau, Captain.

Host CO Royce says:
OPS:  Keep trying, Lt.

ASO Lane says:
:: Taps her combadge ::   *Bridge* Lane to the bridge.

OPS Chaser says:
CO: Aye Captain.   :: Turns to nod to the CO and returns to her scans ::

CEO Davis says:
*CSO*:  I'm showing that the freighter's engines are online.  Can you access this from the ship's computers?

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  How close are we to the gravitational field?

XO Kelson says:
*ASO* Bridge here.  Commander Kelson.

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: Shields are feeling the strain of extending around both ships.... down 30%

CSO Trelan says:
@*CEO*: That's what I have already done. Everything should be working.

OPS Chaser says:
CO: Losing power-r to shield, down 30%, Captain.

ASO Lane says:
*XO*Sir, could you use a hand up there? I'm finished here for now.

SubLt T’Pau says:
@:: As the Gikuyu rocks once again she nearly looses her footing and kicks the engineering kit beside her, sending it tumbling into space. She uses her grip on some of the lodged debris to keep her stable till the magnetic locks and reattach themselves to the hull. ::

OPS Chaser says:
CO : Five minutes to shield failur-re

Host CO Royce says:
CEO:  Can you give more power to the shields?

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: Shields are feeling the strain of extending around both ships... down 35 %

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: Shields are feeling the strain of extending around both ships... down 40 %

@*T'Pau* Inform me when you are clear! We are going to get the hell out of here!

FCO Horn says:
ALL: What the...

CEO Davis says:
CO:  It looks as though the RCS thrusters have realigned themselves, Captain.

Host CO Royce says:

CEO:  We couldn't get a lock last time I checked

:: Runs to the FCO ::   FCO: Are you alright Alex?

CSO Trelan says:
@*T'Pau* T'Pau! Answer me! Clear the port! Get back inside!

@*CSO*: I am en route Commander...

FCO Horn says:

CO: I have transfer-red transpor-rt to your-r chair-r.

CSO Trelan says:
@COMM: Royce: Captain, get the ship out of here! We will rendezvous with you as soon as we clear the phenomena!

CEO Davis says:
:: Eyes the console ::

CEO Davis says:
CO:  I have a lock on T`Pau.  I think I can transport.

Host CO Royce says:
CEO:  Do it

ASO Lane says:
