CERoberts says:
Ailyoc: Any change?

FCO_Annis says:
::monitors frequencies::  CO/XO:  All appears within expected parameters

Host COFerrone says:
FCO:  Increase slowly to warp 2.

EOAilyoc says:
CEO:  Warp core operating well within parameters.  Acceleration increased over old warp drive by 10%

*Annis* Its purring like a kitten.  Not one problem.

Host COFerrone says:
::sits back and relaxes in his familiar chair.... begins thinking about his wife::

EOAilyoc says:
CEO:  Ship systems are all operating at 100% Commander.

FCO_Annis says:
::watches the displays, looking for any sign of trouble::

CERoberts says:
Ailyoc: Good, keep your eye there, I want to know if it changes.  I don't want this core spilling feedback throughout the ship.

CMO_Darvo says:
::walks around sickbay, checking biobeds, tricorders and several partridges in a pear tree

FCO_Annis says:
CO/XO:  We're at warp 2, all seems fine.

FCO: I must look that saying up, when I get off duty....

Host COFerrone says:
*Roberts* Report.

FCO_Annis says:
CO/XO:  I'm going to speed it up, if that's okay...........

Host COFerrone says:
Anniston:  Speed up to warp 5...  take us up there slowly.

FCO_Annis says:
::keeps increasing the speed::

Tac_Zoran says:
*CMO* expect Mrs Kowalski your location in five.... the baby won’t wait

CERoberts says:
*Ferrone* Everything is going normal.  We have better acceleration into Warp and between the different factors.  Warp Bubble is much more compact and stronger.

Host COFerrone says:
::is getting a bit impatient....  crosses legs::

CERoberts says:
Ailyoc: Anything of interest?

FCO_Annis says:
::hits the accelerator::

CMO_Darvo says:
*Tac* very funny, you know we don't have civilians onboard for this test ::sheesh::

EOAilyoc says:
Roberts:  None sir.  Everything is running smoothly.

OPQuchant says:
::watches the power levels rise::

FCO_Annis says:
*Eng*  I'm taking her up to Warp 5.............  Keep me posted

OPQuchant says:
CO: Everything is doing fine sir....looks like the test is working

CERoberts says:
Ailyoc: Then run a stress analysis on the ship, focus particularly on the nacelles and nacelle pylons.  I don't want those things shearing off.

Host SB116 says:
ACTION: Warp Engines perform just as expected from warp 1 thru 5

CERoberts says:
*Annis* You got it.

SO_Udidit says:
XO: still showing green............

Tac_Zoran says:
*CMO* She is a yeoman in personnel

EOAilyoc says:
::runs a simulation on the SIF and the Nacelle's strength in relation to the new warp field::

FCO_Annis says:
::grins::  Captain:  Let's test this baby, for real..........  Wanna bet I can hit Warp 7 in 10 seconds?

CMO_Darvo says:
*TAC*: She's lying, she's back on Starbase 116

OPQuchant says:
::reroutes more power to sickbay to take care of the incoming new crew member::

EOAilyoc says:
CEO:  The new field is more compact, but is putting less strain on the Nacelle's commander.....fascinating

Host COFerrone says:
Anniston:  Take us to Warp 7.

OPQuchant says:
::groans when he hears FCO's boast::

Tac_Zoran says:
:::Looks over records in the computer and shakes his head ::

CERoberts says:
Ailyoc: Less strain?  How much less?

FCO_Annis says:
::smiles::  Sir:  Aye.  ::engages::

OPQuchant says:
::reinforces SIF IDF and any other F's he can find::

Host COFerrone says:
::stands up and walks around up to the bridge's engineering section and looks at the displays::

EOAilyoc says:
CEO:  2 % less than a standard drive.  Well within parameters

CERoberts says:
Ailyoc: Good.. I don't want those nacelles taking off without us.

FCO_Annis says:
::checks harmonics log, and notes that all seems well::

SO_Udoit says:
XO: hovering at 98.6% and steady

XOAldrin says:
::feeling calm as I'm already aware of the readings::

OPQuchant says:
::wonders what would happen if the warp engines were run this hot when the ship was standing still::

EOAilyoc says:
::raises an eyebrow::  CEO:  Commander, I am detecting some negative ionization in the plasma couplers.

FCO_Annis says:
Captain:  The harmonics log indicates normal readings, as predicted

Host SB116 says:
ACTION: Engineering notices some Negative Ionization when increasing speed to warp 7, But still within operational limits

CERoberts says:
::Brings up a representation of the current warp field and its affects on subspace.

CERoberts says:
Ailyoc: Cause?

CMO_Darvo says:
::goes back to her officer and takes out the SF Magazine, opens it to the centerfold::

OPQuchant says:
::checks in some computer tests on this scenario::

EOAilyoc says:
CEO:  However, we are still within operation limits.  Cause unknown.  Running simulations

SO_Udoit says:
EO: plasma inverts in JT 23b need adjusting........

SO_Udidit says:
their points are out of alignment by .0004 %

CERoberts says:
Ailyoc: If it continues to increase let me know... Don't let it even get near the limit if its continuing to rise.

CMO_Darvo says:
::impressive::

EOAilyoc says:
::brings up some sim's on where this negative ionization is coming from::

EOAilyoc says:
Roberts:  We are at 97 percent efficiency and holding.......

Tac_Zoran says:
:::pet’s cat while working his boards ::

CMO_Darvo says:

CMO_Darvo says:
::to self:: Quchant, huh?

XOAldrin says:
::sits back and relaxes; puts hands up behind head and stretches in his chair::

Host COFerrone says:
::motions to Cromwell to carry out the rest of the drill::  I'll be in my ready room, Number One.

OPQuchant says:
XO: Structural Integrity intact....inertial dampners holding

CERoberts says:
*Udoit* Please repeat.

EOAilyoc says:
CEO:  Simulations are inconclusive.  Cause still unknown.

Host COFerrone says:
::heads to ready room and sits back in his chair::

CERoberts says:
Ailyoc: Is it still rising?

XOAldrin thinks:  CO is bugging out again...

SO_Udoit says:
*CE* JT 23b plasma inverters are slightly out of adjustment...... now reading .0009%........points will fail in 15 minutes

EOAilyoc says:
CEO:  It has degraded to 90%.  Simulations report that it will not fall below 85% during the course of the exercise

Host COFerrone says:
::continues reading through the loads of reports....  mumbles::  there has to be an easier way to do this.

FCO_Annis says:
::keeps monitoring and holding at Warp 7::

Tac_Zoran says:
:::wonders what the SO is Yammering on about ::

OPQuchant says:
::continues to monitor...drawing information from the Conn board where neccessary::

CERoberts says:
Ailyoc: Check out JT 23B Plasma inverters.... that could be the problem.

EOAilyoc says:
::brings up the schematics::

XOAldrin says:
FCO: Take us to warp nine.

EOAilyoc says:

FCO_Annis says:
XO:  Engaging now.  ::inputs warp nine, and hits the button::

Host SB116 says:
ACTION: As warp 8 is reached, The starboard plasma injector explodes, sending a massive power spike throughout the ship, taking out most but not all of the ships systems..

CERoberts says:
*Bridge* We have a build up of Negative ionization.  Currently efficiency has degraded to 90%, test parameters state that is won't go further than 85%.

XOAldrin thinks:  Oh, cool!

SO_Udoit says:
::watches as power levels climb to 100.1%::

EOAilyoc says:
::grips console as the ship shudders::

CMO_Darvo says:
::jumps back as her terminal explodes::

FCO_Annis says:
::hits the brakes, and brings the ship to a full stop::

SO_Udoit says:
XO: Power levels spiked and are now down

SO_Udidit says:
to minimal levels. we have an explosion...........

FCO_Annis says:
Sir:  Done.

EOAilyoc says:
CEO:  We've lost the starboard plasma coupler completely.  I am reading massive power spikes surging through the ship.  Main power is offline.

Host COFerrone says:

Host COFerrone says:
Has anyone tried venting the plasma?

FCO_Annis says:
::pulls up the logs, to try and see what happened::

OPQuchant says:
CO: Sir...major damage....most systems down......starboard plasma injector....absolutly destroyed

SO_Udoit says:

OPQuchant says:
*CMO*: everything alright down their Doc?

CMO_Darvo says:
:;watches as some power comes back online::

Host COFerrone says:
FCO:  What is our distance from the nearest Starbase?

OPQuchant says:
::routes more power to Sickbay::

CMO_Darvo says:
*Quchant*: I guess so, what happened?

EOAilyoc says:
CEO:  Main power, long range sensors, long range communications and transporters were affected by the power surge.   ::reading incoming damage reports::

Tac_Zoran says:
*CEO* I am reading a hull breech deck 5 ... I have a team on it

FCO_Annis says:
CO:  At impulse?

CERoberts says:
::Satisfied when the core is shut down, he begins checking all systems and running through the damages::

Host COFerrone says:
Anniston:  at warp 1, 2, anything....  just give me distance.

OPQuchant says:
*CMO*: Starboard plasma injector exploded....any casualties?

CERoberts says:
Ailyoc: Get working on Communications then Main Power.

SO_Udoit says:
XO: Impulse and batteries seem unaffected...

CERoberts says:
*Bridge* Warp Core has been shutdown completely, and plasma vented.

SO_Udidit says:
all other systems are in trouble

FCO_Annis says:
Captain:  Best possible ETA is 17 months

FCO_Annis says:
at impulse, that is.

CMO_Darvo says:
*Quchant* None so far, I'll keep my teams posted thoughout the ship and I await their reports, I'll keep you posted

OPQuchant says:
*CMO*: Acknowledged

XOAldrin says:
*CE*: we need a more comprehensive report.

Tac_Zoran says:
OPS: Status of Comm gear ?

OPQuchant says:
Tac: Checking

Host COFerrone says:
XO:  Take charge here, I'm heading down to Engineering to see the damage firsthand.

EOAilyoc says:
::runs simulations::  CEO:  We have lost the Long-Range transmitter Commander.....it was damaged in the power surge.  Without the warp core, we lack the power to boost the Short-Range Transmitter for LRS purposes.  Sending a team to give a visual inspection of the array.

OPQuchant says:
CO: Long range communications are down....main power is down....long range sensors are also down

CMO_Darvo says:
*Bridge* Minor burns and abrasions, nothing major to report

FCO_Annis says:
::waits::

XOAldrin says:
*CE*: That's what I wanted to know.  Do we have a spare or can we replicate another?

Tac_Zoran says:
XO: Perhaps If we reroute the Comm gear through an amplifier using the deflector dish to focus it ??

CERoberts says:
::Hands flying across the board beginning to shore up systems until he can get a good look at them.

OPQuchant says:
CO: Entire transporter system has bought the farm as well

SO_Udoit says:
XO: We are diverting plasma to run through the ships conduits in circles

SO_Udidit says:
so we can avoid total shutdown......

Host COFerrone says:
Ops:  Work with Tactical to fit a probe with a subspace relay and fire it towards the nearest Starbase.  Have it transmitting a standard distress call.

CERoberts says:
Ailyoc: Oh hell... Then just start working on Main Power.

OPQuchant says:
CO: Aye Aye Sir

Tac_Zoran says:
CO: Aye Sir

OPQuchant says:
::gets up and goes over to tactical::

XOAldrin says:
OPS: works with TAC to rig a high speed probe with our situation and send it to Starfleet.

CMO_Darvo says:
::receives several cases in sickbay, heals the burns and sends them back on duty::

EOAilyoc says:
CEO:  Impulse engines are still online, auxiliary power and life support is also online.  ::getting last of the damage reports::

OPQuchant says:
XO: Aye sir

Tac_Zoran says:
::Looks over damage to the torpedo Bay ::

EOAilyoc says:
CEO:  We will need to replace the plasma coupler in order to restore main power.....that will take some time.

Host COFerrone says:
::leaves the XO in charge of the bridge.... enters the turbo lift::

CERoberts says:
Ailyoc: We should have a replacement in storage.

OPQuchant says:
Zoran: okey dokey...let's get these probes sorted shall we

Tac_Zoran says:
TAC: here are our resources of Torpedo housings

FCO_Annis says:
::gets to work analyzing the warp logs, wondering what desk jockey deemed this drive ready for test::

OPQuchant says:
Zoran: Are the probe launchers up and running?....can we get power to them?

Host COFerrone says:
::arrives in main engineering... looks around at the wispy fingers of smoke floating about::

CERoberts says:
::Gets up out of his chair and goes to  take a look at the Core itself::

EOAilyoc says:
*EngTeam10*  Meet me at the starboard plasma coupler assembly with the replacement unit.
CEO:  Permission to replace the coupler.

FCO_Annis says:
CO/XO:  I'm checking out the logs now, I'll keep you posted if I find anything

CERoberts says:
Ailyoc: Granted... and make it snappy.

Tac_Zoran says:
OPS: Let’s go down there and check out what is nearest

OPQuchant says:
Zoran: ok...

Host COFerrone says:
::spots Roberts and heads over to him::

Tac_Zoran says:
XO: Permission to leave the bridge ?

CERoberts says:
::Opens the Dilithium access port once all residual plasma has been completely vented::

XOAldrin says:
TAC: Granted.

OPQuchant says:
XO: We need to get down to see if the probe launchers are working

EOAilyoc says:
::raises an eyebrow at "Snappy" and leaves....walking as Vulcan’s do::

OPQuchant says:
::goes to the TL with Zoran::

XOAldrin says:
FCO: set a course for the nearest SB and engage at best speed.

Host COFerrone says:
:;walks up behind Roberts::  how much damage?

Tac_Zoran says:
OPS : Let’s take JT 4 ...that should be shortest

OPQuchant says:
Zoran: Agreed

CERoberts says:
::Pulls out the Dilithium assembly as the Captain speaks::

SO_Udoit says:
XO: we can still launch some probes with high warp capabilities.

Tac_Zoran says:
::opens hatch to JT 4 and walks in ::

OPQuchant says:
::follows the Assistant Tactical Officer into the Jefferies tube::

Host COFerrone says:
::has had some engineering experience in the past... looks at the dilithium chamber and cringes::

XOAldrin says:
SO: we are already working on that.

CERoberts says:
Ferrone: Not good... This stupid thing was doing so well, too.  I'm not sure what went wrong... ::Looks inside core:: No wait... I know now... We have a major rupture here...

XOAldrin says:
FCO: Is our course set?

Host SB116 says:
ACTION: Short-range sensors pick up a star system not far from the Vesuvius,

FCO_Annis says:
::stares at the logs, frustrated that there is no clue there::

SO_Udoit says:
::checks core status::

CERoberts says:
::Moves so Ferrone can see the extent of it::

OPQuchant says:
:climbs down to torpedo control:

Tac_Zoran says:
:::reaches level  14 and swings out of the JT ::

SO_Udidit says:
XO: we have a couple of class M planets in the neighboring system.....

EOAilyoc says:
::reaches the blown assembly....it took half the room with it::

Host COFerrone says:
::touches a bit of the ruptured metal...  quickly snatches hand back as its still hot::  How much time to repair this?

CMO_Darvo says:
::finishes up with those in sickbay:: *Bridge* any injuries up there?

CERoberts says:
Ferrone: The Dilithium Chamber, and the reaction chamber are ruptured.  We can't replace them, so we either patch... or wait for a tug.

Tac_Zoran says:
::walks towards the Torpedo Launchers  in the dimmed light ::

FCO_Annis says:
XO:  course set, engaging now

OPQuchant says:
::clicks open a emergency ops kit enroute::

EOAilyoc says:
::orders the team to replace the coupler.......analyzing the failed coupler as it is pulled out::

XOAldrin says:
SO:  That's nice.  We don't have time to sight see today.

Tac_Zoran says:
::grabs a light from the bulkhead ::

Host COFerrone says:
::nods::  I trust you can work out some kind of patch... get us warp 4 at best.

OPQuchant says:
::hands a wrist torch to Zoran::

CERoberts says:
Ferrone: Can't say.  Ailyoc is replacing the Starboard coupler and injector... but this...

SO_Udoit says:
XO: one has technology, sir.....warp capabilities

OPQuchant says:
::arrives at Torp Control::

Host SB116 says:
ACTION: There Are 8 planets detected, None are class M, but scans detect moons around the 4th planet, one of which is class M

CERoberts says:
Ferrone: This is going to take us well over a week to fix.  The surface of this chamber has to be as smooth as a babies' bottom for us even to get Warp 1

XOAldrin says:
FCO: Engage the autopilot, clean the mirrors again, readjust the dice, then get to engineering and see if you can help.

Tac_Zoran says:
::walks along probing the bulkheads with the beam of his torch and finds a Orange marked cubical box :: OPS Here we are

FCO_Annis says:
::raises eyebrow at XO::  Aye, sir, engaging autopilot.

Tac_Zoran says:
::Considers the distance ::

OPQuchant says:
::opens box up::

Host COFerrone says:
::smiles...  puts his hand on Roberts' shoulder::  That's why you're the chief engineer....  do the best you can and keep me apprised...  ::starts heading off::

FCO_Annis says:
:;stands up, and exits the bridge, headed to Eng::

Tac_Zoran says:
OPS : that is part of the emergency power grid

CERoberts says:
Ferrone: Yes sir.... ::Looks back at the rupture and groans::

XOAldrin says:
SO: If that is true and your sensors are accurate, then I definitely want to stay away from there.

EOAilyoc says:
*Roberts*  Ailyoc here Commander, the new plasma coupler is installed.  I have analyzed the failed coupler.  It appears that it received a brief, sudden surge of drive plasma.  The fail-safe devices failed, destroying the coupler and sending a powerspike through the grid.  Once main power is restored, I do not recommend exceeding Warp 5.

FCO_Annis says:
::gets in TL, and wonders what she is supposed to do in Eng, but follows orders::

Tac_Zoran says:
:::Shines light around looking for the needed cable ::

Host COFerrone says:
::heads back up to the bridge::

CERoberts says:
*Ailyoc*: We aren't going to have to worry about that for awhile... we have a major rupture in the Dilithium and Reaction Chambers of the Core.

OPQuchant says:
Zoran: Yes...we may need to reroute the power to the Torp control so we can actually fire the probe

FCO_Annis says:
::nods at the CO as she passes him in the TL::

SO_Udoit says:
XO: Sir. just advising you.....the moons are inhabited and they

SO_Udidit says:
are using warp to  go back and forth....perhaps they have a primitive core we can use?

Tac_Zoran says:
OPS: there is some cable over there in that rack ::points ::

Host COFerrone says:
:;arrives on bridge::  Cromwell:  report.

XOAldrin says:
SO: Or they have the ability to attack us.

FCO_Annis says:
::arrives in Engineering::  Roberts:  The XO ordered me down here.  What can I do?

EOAilyoc says:
*CEO*  Perhaps we can repair the core well enough to achieve a minimum warp field.

OPQuchant says:
::grabs the cable::

CERoberts says:
Annis: Yeah... Wiggle your nose and make a new Warp Core appear.

XOAldrin says:
CO: we are on course for the nearest SB. Helm is on auto.  The SO' shave detected a system nearby that may have sufficient technology.

SO_Udoit says:
XO: Scanning for alternatives,

SO_Udidit says:
sir.

Tac_Zoran says:
:::Pulls cover off of cable reel ::

CERoberts says:
*Ailyoc* Its going to take us over a week to get this thing patched well enough for warp 1

FCO_Annis says:
:;glares at Roberts::  Look, I didn't ask to be sent here...........

Host COFerrone says:
XO: What system is it?

Tac_Zoran says:
::grabs Cable ::

Tac_Zoran says:
::heaves ::

OPQuchant says:
::helps with the cable::

FCO_Annis says:
::moves over to a vacant console, and starts pulling up data::

CERoberts says:
Annis: Sorry... Do you know much about Dilithium Regeneration without a useable Warp Core?

XOAldrin says:
CO: It is unidentified as of yet.  Sensors are unreliable.

FCO_Annis says:
::looks at Roberts, holding a grudge::  Not a damned thing, sir.

Tac_Zoran says:
:::Pulls out cable to the Cube ::

Host COFerrone says:
Binars:  Run through the computer banks and pull out the best fit for this system.

OPQuchant says:
::connects of the cable to the cube...rubbing sweat off of his brow::

Host COFerrone says:
Cromwell:  Take the helm and change course for that system.

OPQuchant says:
Zoran: I think environmental control has been effected as well

Host COFerrone says:
XO:  Take us just inside the star's gravity well and hold position.

FCO_Annis says:
::turns attention to console, looking for something that indicates why this went awry::

OPQuchant says:
*Bridge*: Can you check on life support, on this deck and on the rest of the ship?

EOAilyoc says:
::thinks:: Well...then we better star fixing the core right away

XOAldrin says:
::Sighs:: Aye, sir.

Tac_Zoran says:
:::goes back to cable reel and starts rolling off the cable towards the Torpedo Control station ::

CERoberts says:
Annis: Well, how about patching a badly rupture Dilithium chamber... ::Stands aside to let Annis see the damage::

SO_Udoit says:
CO: downloaded the information to the XO, sir......

SO_Udidit says:
he is looking at it...I thought.

XOAldrin says:
::moves to the helm and disengages the AP::

OPQuchant says:
::slaps badge again::

EOAilyoc says:
::returns to Main Engineering::

FCO_Annis says:
::sighs::  Wouldn't that be the job of one of your staff, Roberts?

XOAldrin says:
::changes course::

OPQuchant says:
*Bridge*: Come in please

XOAldrin thinks:  This isn't the best of ideas...

Host COFerrone says:
SO:  The system is unknown...  Look through the database and find the closest match.

CERoberts says:
Annis: Most of my staff is getting Main Power up and running again.

FCO_Annis says:
Roberts:  I am not an Engineer; I'd most likely do more damage than good.

CERoberts says:
Ailyoc: Let get your input on this lovely rupture here... ::waves Ailyoc over::

Host COFerrone says:
::sits back and mumbles about the complexities of Binars::

Tac_Zoran says:
::Drops cable end at the front of a blank panel and starts taking the screws loose on the front cover ::

EOAilyoc says:
CEO:  Plasma coupler installed.  According to simulations, the grid should hold once we manage a restart.

FCO_Annis says:
::looks at Roberts:: You don't seem to be doing anything productive, and you would seem much more qualified to fix that rupture than me.

Host COFerrone says:
*Quchant*  Bridge here.

Tac_Zoran says:
::takes off front cover and exposes the bus ::

OPQuchant says:
*CO*: Sir...I think environmental control is failing....

EOAilyoc says:
CEO:  We could use the main navigational deflector for Long-Range Communications, with some modification of course.

Tac_Zoran says:
::Gasps::

Host COFerrone says:
::frowns and heads to the Ops console::

Host SB116 says:
ACTION: Scans of the moon indicates that it has a Vulcan type atmosphere, lifeforms also detected, and a reading of dilithium in the moons crust

SO_Udoit says:
CO: the only signs of life are coming from the 4th moon.......high technology......perhaps 100

SO_Udidit says:
years behind Starfleet standards.

CERoberts says:
::Glares at Annis::  Its called look before you leap Lieutenant.

Tac_Zoran says:
:::Starts taking loose the old cabling :::

OPQuchant says:
::crawls over to Zoran::

Host COFerrone says:
*Ops* Then you'd better get to work on it then.

Tac_Zoran says:
::safeties it off ::

OPQuchant says:
*CO*: Yes sir

Host COFerrone says:
XO:  Take us towards the moon.

CERoberts says:
Ailyoc: Well, we aren't going to be needing the Nav Deflector for awhile... take Lieutenant Annis here to help  you with it... I'm going to get started on this...

FCO_Annis says:
::shrugs::  Roberts:  Indeed.  I'm simply pointing out that I am not qualified to work on Engineering systems; don't know why I was sent here in the first place.

OPQuchant says:
Zoran: Come on...let's pick this up a little...I think environmental control is going

Tac_Zoran says:
Inserts cable ends into the now exposed opening and tightens them down securely ::

EOAilyoc says:
CEO:  Which system shall I bring online Sir, Communications or Sensors?

FCO_Annis says:
Roberts:  I'll go in, but whatever happens is on your shoulders, and the XO's.

FCO_Annis says:
::straps on a repair belt, and starts to work on the rupture::

XOAldrin thinks:  and his ideas get better.

XOAldrin says:
::adjusts course for the moon::

Tac_Zoran says:
OPS: I am going as fast as I can ...I need to put back the cover though

CERoberts says:
Annis: Forget it, you and Ailyoc have another job.

Tac_Zoran says:
:::Tries to lift cover and fails ::

OPQuchant says:
:: Helps Zoran with cover::

CERoberts says:
Ailyoc: I would say Sensors... since Communications aren't going to get us very far at this point.

EOAilyoc says:
::notices a small alarm going off on a panel, checks it::  CEO: I am detecting anomalous readings from the sensor arrays.  Perhaps they were more damaged that reports initially indicated

Tac_Zoran says:
::Screws it back into place ::
