USS Vesuvius, NCC-71985
Stardate 10411.02
Episode 1

Home

The Vesuvius and her escorts, the Javelin, the Rapier, and the Shuriken were the last to enter the tunnel after stabilizing the tunnel with an antimatter beam directed at three different location at the tunnel's entrance.  They could only hope that tunnel stayed stable enough for them to make it home.

On the Federation side of the tunnel, the ships already making it through utilized the information about the antimatter beam and directed beams to the tunnel to try and stabilize the tunnel for the Vesuvius and her wing.  This proved effective and the Vesuvius and her wing arrived in Skree space in the Alpha quadrant.

After arriving, the Vesuvius sent torpedoes into the tunnel, collapsing the tunnel upon itself before setting course for Earth along with the rest of the task force fleet.

She and her crew are now enjoying some much deserved R&R before heading off to her next mission.  New crew and supplies are being loaded while the ship orbits Earth.

Host Adm_Royce says:
:: Smiles at her husband and moves to his side ::

CSO_Lane says:
Capt: Perhaps you should talk to Xen while you can Dru.

CTO_Liu says:
CO: You got it sir. I'm actually in the middle of it already, as it is standard protocol to do so when assigned to a new ship.

Capt_Trelan says:
:: turns his head toward the CSO, stretching a hand and touching her arm :: CSO: It's great to see you Hope. :: grins ::

CO_McGrady says:
TO: Ensign Thurson, I want an upload of no less than ten unique firing patterns on both tactical stations in 30 minutes.  After you have loaded the patterns, train Ensign Liu on their potential application.  I know you've got some tricks you've come up with in A school.

Host Adm_Royce says:

FCO_Lorehani says:
::Frowns::  XO:  Country/Western... ::Ponders::  Is that the music where the guys dog died and he got ditch...then his pickup truck breaks down but everything will be ok because he has a six pack of beer?

CO_McGrady says:
CTO: Notify me of your readiness report when it is complete.

::sits down at the OPS station and reviews the re-supply and checks off the new crew assigments that have reported onboard already::

CNS_Martin says:
@CNS: Oh, just a stop over, something about a mission to the badlands....why they're stopping at Vulcan on the way to the badlands, I'll never know I guess....as nice as retirement is, you just don't get let in on the interesting things Starfleet is up to.

CO_McGrady says:
CTO: I imagine you have developed some original firing patterns and shield modulations?

Capt_Trelan says:
FCO: :: grins :: It's been a long time since Captain McGrady has seen the Pharaoh, and since I've seen her from the outside. Think you could do something about that?

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: Warning klaxons begin to blare indicating a malfunction in the transporter beam...

CTO_Liu says:
CO: Absolutely Captain. I consider it a hobby of mine.

XO_Darvo says:
::reviews the shore leave rosters and notes that the CMO and CNS are taking advantage of this time to relax.......:;fingers fly over the OPS console::

CO_McGrady says:
CTO: Explain the klaxons, Ensign.

CSO_Lane says:
:: decides to let Dru reaquaint himself with the Ves ::

XO_Darvo says:
CO: Malfunction in the transporter room.

Capt_Trelan says:
:: instinct kicks in :: CTO: Report!

FCO_Lorehani says:
::Grins::  Capt:  I can....  ::Hears the Klaxons and qwuickly takes her seat... Fingers fly over the console matching the XO's.::

CO_McGrady says:
::looks up at the XO::

CSO_Lane says:
:: heads back to her station at the alert klaxons ::

Capt_Trelan says:
:: clears throat as he looks embarrassed ::

CO_McGrady says:
XO: Are we currently tranporting any personnel?

Capt_Trelan says:
CO: Sorry, Doane. Habit....

XO_Darvo says:
CO: Unknown, checking.

CO_McGrady says:
Capt:  Not a problem, Captain.

CTO_Liu says:
CO: Sir, there is a malfunction in the transporter room. Awaiting your orders.

XO_Darvo says:
CO: Aye, new crewmenbers that were to report to enginnering and biology

Capt_Trelan says:
:: moves his chair up to the secondary science console ::

CO_McGrady says:
CTO: Freeze all future transports.

CO_McGrady says:
XO: Have we lost them?

XO_Darvo says:
*Transporter room* Can you enhance the matter stream, strenthen it?

CTO_Liu says:
CO: Aye.

Capt_Trelan says:
:: runs his fingers over the console, reading the data ::

XO_Darvo says:
::listens and turns to the CO:: CO: No sir, they're gone.

CNS_Martin says:
@CmdrSr: Perhaps I can find out and let you know. ::smiles at her mother::

Capt_Trelan says:
CO/XO: I think I can help. We can route the pattern enhancers through the main rematerilization matrix and strengthen the boost by lowering the gain.....

CO_McGrady says:
Capt: Quite sound.  Make it so.

Capt_Trelan says:
:: his fingers play over the console like a concert pianist ::

CNS_Martin says:
@<Cmdr_Martin-Sr>CNS: That would be nice, dear..::looks up as her husband and Rachel come into the room, looking quite pleased with themselves::

Capt_Trelan says:
CSO: Hope, I need you to route sensor power through to the secondary power couplings....

CSO_Lane says:
:: looks over at Dru and wonders what he's doing ::

CNS_Martin says:
@<Mr_Martin>CNS/CmdrSr: Ah, hello you two, Rachel has found a nice present for one of you ::grins::

CO_McGrady says:
TO: Route dormant power supplies to the transport system.

XO_Darvo says:
::fingers dance over the console, making sure there is enough power available::

CSO_Lane says:
Capt: Dru are you sure about this?

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: A communication comes in from Starfleet...

FCO_Lorehani says:
XO:  I got the call.

CO_McGrady says:
FCO: Onscreen, Lieutenant.

Capt_Trelan says:
:: quickly taps into the transporter command subroutine :: CSO: Yes.

CSO_Lane says:
:: does it anyway keeping her fingers crossed ::

CNS_Martin says:
@<Rachel> ::hopes over to her mother and holds out her hands, apparenly holding something carefully in them:: CNS: Look in my hands!

XO_Darvo says:
::nods to the FCO::

FCO_Lorehani says:
::Quickly taps her console.::  COM:Starfleet:  This is the Vesuvius...  ::Taps her console and brings it on screen.::

TO_Thursson says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::fingers tap out the commands to the console, and then resumes programming the final few tactical patterns::

FCO_Lorehani says:
CO:  On screen.

Capt_Trelan says:
:: taps in a subcommand, opening the materilization sequencers, routing the power as he suggested ::

CNS_Martin says:
@::leans over and looks at what her daughter is holding in her hands as a small frog jumps out into her face:: OH!

CO_McGrady says:
::straightens his uniform, a bit flustered::

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The face of a starfleet OPS comes on ::

CSO_Lane says:
:: wonders since when a visiting Captain gets to play science officer ::

CTO_Liu says:
TO: How are you doing with those patterns so far? Don't hesitate to give me a holler if you need anything. ::smiles::

Host Sheri says:
<SF OPS>  COM: Ves: Did you get them?

XO_Darvo says:
::shakes head slightly in the negative::

Capt_Trelan says:
CSO: That should do it....

TO_Thursson says:
CTO: I was just about to see if you wanted to review some of these, actually, sir. ::moves over to give the CTO a better view of the console:: What do you thinK?

FCO_Lorehani says:
::LOoks at the Capt. wondering if she should respond.::

CO_McGrady says:
COM: OPS: No.  Boost energy to your transport system immediately.  We are at risk of losing some valuable personnel.

TO_Thursson says:
CTO: They're nothing too fancy, I must admit they're something of a hobby of my own as well, although a few of these I can't take credit for, some of my friends in the academy showed me a few of these.

Host Sheri says:
COM: CO: There's nothing to boost.  What we got back was...was...unrecognizible

Capt_Trelan says:
CO/XO: That should be effective enough to get them through. But the transporter chief needs to act now before the signal degrades....

CO_McGrady says:
::looks up sternly::

CO_McGrady says:
XO: Did we manage to transport any incoming personnel?

Host Sheri says:
<SF OPS> COM: Ves: We'll have their replacements for you in the morning...

XO_Darvo says:
CO: Aye, they were the last two

Capt_Trelan says:
:: slams a fist on the console ::

FCO_Lorehani says:
::Stunned::  All:  Now that is cold.

CTO_Liu says:
:;looks over at the auxillary tactical console:; TO: No Ensign, I'd say your patterns are quite creative. I'm very impressed. I am sure the Captain will be as well. Good Job.

Host Sheri says:
<SF OPS> Starfleet operations out.

CNS_Martin says:
@::picks the tiny frog off her face and looks at it:: Rachel: well, it's a good thing it's not a poisonous frog, love, it is adorable though ::smiles::

CO_McGrady says:
COM:  OPS:  Arrange for forthcoming personnel to be transported via shuttlecraft/

CSO_Lane says:
:: shakes her head :: Self: I knew it wouldn't work.

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The screen goes back to the view of Earth

CO_McGrady says:
::takes a deep breath::

Capt_Trelan says:
:: sees a sudden flash of his memory...Tormond II ::

Host Sheri says:
<edit CO before SF OPS>

XO_Darvo says:
::looks back at the CO::

Capt_Trelan says:
Self: I couldn't save them...I wasn't quick enough ::

TO_Thursson says:
::slightly distracted by the current events of the bridge... shakes head:: CTO: Thank you, sir. ::steps back to give the CTO the main tactical console::

XO_Darvo says:
Captain Trelan: there wasn't anything you could do.

CTO_Liu says:
TO: We should look to always improve the patterns, so we will be less predictable to the enemy.

CO_McGrady says:
*CMO* Have all personnel transported in the last wave given a thorough physical examination.

CO_McGrady says:
Capt:  You did your best, Captain.

TO_Thursson says:
::smiles:: CTO: Aye, sir.

XO_Darvo says:
<MO> *CO* Aye, sir.

CNS_Martin says:
@::follows her daughter back outside, her own parents following as well:: Rachel: This frog belongs outside, so we're going to put him near the trees, where he'll be safe from the grass cutter ::smiles::

CSO_Lane says:
:: shuts down her console slowly and sits back taking it all in for a moment ::

CTO_Liu says:
::Thinks to himself, I'm gonna love working here::

Capt_Trelan says:
:: sits up straight ::

XO_Darvo says:
*TR* run a level one diagnostic on your console, I want a report in an hour.

Capt_Trelan says:
:: takes a deep breath as he turns toward the CSO ::

XO_Darvo says:
<TR> *XO* Aye, Ma'am, I'm on it.

Capt_Trelan says:
CSO: Hope, It was good to see you. I think I better go....

CNS_Martin says:
@<Rachel> CNS: Why can't I keep the frog?

Capt_Trelan says:
CSO: I don't belong here.... anymore. You do.

XO_Darvo says:
CO: I'll have a report on the transporter malfunction in an hours time.  I'll be happy to discuss it with you at your convenience.

CSO_Lane says:
Capt: I agree, you better go..... ::feels slightly upset ::

Capt_Trelan says:
:: face saddens ::

CO_McGrady says:
::nods:: XO: I'll await your report.  I will prepare communications to the crewmen's families.  ::heads off the bridge::

Capt_Trelan says:
:: turns from his friend ::

CNS_Martin says:
@Rachel: Because we already have Ruby, and a few cats, and there was that hamster you had last year...::shakes her head:: Sorry hon, the frog stays where he belongs::

XO_Darvo says:
::sends several engineers to TR2 to help with the diagnostic::
