LtCdrJohnson -> ::In engineering, wondering how much of his private conversation with Joy was heard by Heather::

STSF_BluRox -> Alright August...I hope you understand why we had to leave now?

STSF_KBear -> <<JUST in time Rian :) we just started>>

STSF_BluRox -> <howdy>

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::lays down on the bed, needs a nap after all his hard work::

August Jax Robinson -> I understand your reasoning, but they are wrong

Capt Rian Kwai -> ((Hi there. Give me a moment to get settled. I just logged on))

Jameson Bardolph -> ((was there a TBS?))

STSF_BluRox -> <new, not know>

Joy -> :: In her spare time wondering if she could possibly intervene with the Jax situation. ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> <Now it's Peach Tree!>

Fiona Weber -> ::in Sickbay, mulling over some coffee::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::arrives back down in Main SEC, having just gotten himself grounded by the CMO::

Ayumu Kasuga -> <unless we're talking about the Tokyo Broadcasting System>

LtCdrJohnson -> DeAngelo>::walks back into engineering::

Jameson Bardolph -> :;tempted to sulk about it but decides that would take too much energy; settles for being mildly peeved::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Looks at Blu:: a ship could explode in here and he could sleep

STSF_KBear -> How much time until we get to our next distination Ayumu

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to DeAngelo:: How's our reactor?

Ayumu Kasuga -> We're still roughly three weeks from our destination at present speed

STSF_BluRox -> Regardless, it's policy...we had to leave them. ::watches Jax motion towards where Will went::

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::had just witnessed a nekkid Gunner, now waiting for the next lift::

LtCmdrRobinson -> Gunner> ::running around their quarters making annoying sounds::

LtCdrJohnson -> DeAngelo>::to Johnson:: Operating within tolerance sir

August Jax Robinson -> Gunner, go jump on Mommies bed

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::peers carefully into the lift, making sure there's not more surprises before stepping inside:: Medical, please. ::deep breath::

August Jax Robinson -> ::knows he will, since she never lets him::

LtCdrJohnson -> ::nods:: I want to see if we can get it up to peak efficiency

Fiona Weber -> ::watches as her coffee mug fills, momentarily transfixed by the sight::

LtCmdrRobinson -> Gunner> ::jumping on bed now::

STSF_KBear -> Lets hope its a slow three weeks as far as incounters go.

Jameson Bardolph -> ::flops himself into a seat, putting his "weak" leg up on the desk::

STSF_BluRox -> Well, you need to deal with your family, but if you want to discuss this more later, I'll be available

August Jax Robinson -> ::nods:: alright, thank you for coming here to talk to me

Heather Jamieson -> :: In stellar cartography as she is oft found, gazing into a grand view of the sector the Republic is traveling through ::

STSF_BluRox -> ::claps her on the shoulder and winks:: Good luck with your.....men...

Capt Rian Kwai -> :exits the lift and heads into main medical, lip buttoned tight::

Joy -> :: Is gunner on an AT? ::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Grabs Gunner::

Jameson Bardolph -> Computer...music.

Jameson Bardolph -> Computer> Specify.

Jameson Bardolph -> :;shrugs:: Anything.

August Jax Robinson -> remember what I said? now you get your mouth washed out with soap

Ayumu Kasuga -> Computer>::Plays Lady Gaga::

STSF_BluRox -> Nice.......Good luck with that....

Jameson Bardolph -> ((bloody...you beat me to it -- WITH the singer I was going to use))

Jameson Bardolph -> ((lol))

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to DeAngelo:: Hold down the ford for a little while...I have to go see the doc

Jameson Bardolph -> ::rocks out::

Ayumu Kasuga -> Ra ra oh la la...

STSF_BluRox -> We might want to keep him away from diplomatic events for now.....

August Jax Robinson -> ::Walks over to the Replacator:: thanks

Ayumu Kasuga -> Computer^

STSF_BluRox -> ::exits::

Jameson Bardolph -> ((lmao))

August Jax Robinson -> one bar of Leaver 2000 soap please

Ayumu Kasuga -> <lol>

Fiona Weber -> ::looks out at Kwai::

LtCmdrRobinson -> Gunner> ::makes innocent face::

STSF_BluRox -> ::<what type of Ford is he holding?>

Jameson Bardolph -> ::leans head back in his chair contentedly:: Ahhh...they don't make music like this anymore...

Fiona Weber -> ::puts her mug down on its proper cuprest, heads out to greet her::

Ayumu Kasuga -> <A Fiesta>

Jameson Bardolph -> ::beat:: I guess that's a good thing.

LtCdrJohnson -> <<They make Leaver in the 24st century LOL >>

August Jax Robinson -> ::Grabs bar, sits him on the counter, put bar of soap in his mouth:: this is what happens when you say bad things

STSF_BluRox -> <guess he's lucky it's not Lava>

Ayumu Kasuga -> Computer> ::Switches to Justin Beiber after Bad Romance ends::

Capt Rian Kwai -> Please tell me you're not peeved at me too...because I don't want to be poked and prodded when you're angry. ::shivers::

LtCmdrRobinson -> Gunner> ::spits it out, throws it across the room::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::head snaps up:: Computer, PAUSE MUSIC.

STSF_KBear -> :: watches as the stars go by glad that things are quiet for the time being::

LtCmdrRobinson -> Will> ::naps::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::disgruntled face::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Yells:: WILL

Jameson Bardolph -> ((i hate Justin Bieber :) ))

Ayumu Kasuga -> <<lmao>>

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::mumbles::

LtCdrJohnson -> DeAngelo>::to Johnson:: Yes sir

Fiona Weber -> (Who doesn't?)

August Jax Robinson -> ::grabs soap, places it back::

Fiona Weber -> At you?

Ayumu Kasuga -> <Why do you think I chose him. Makes me ashamed to be Canadian, lol>>

August Jax Robinson -> ::holds it:: you spit that out and you go to bed

Fiona Weber -> Why would I be mad at you, Sir?

LtCmdrRobinson -> Gunner> ::throws up on August, cries::

LtCdrJohnson -> ::exits engineering::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Sighs::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Catchs the smell, throws up::

LtCmdrRobinson -> Noooo, I'm trying to sleep. ::holds pillow over his head::

Jameson Bardolph -> ((hehe))

Jameson Bardolph -> ((My roommate used to blast his big hit...over and over again))

August Jax Robinson -> <<he has a hit?>>

Ayumu Kasuga -> <<Reminds me of that Family Guy episode where everyonethrows up at the same time, lol>>

August Jax Robinson -> ::Puts Gunner down::

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::peaks head up:: What are you doing?!

Joy -> << Don't look at me. Androids don't throw up. >>

August Jax Robinson -> ::Walks into the bedroom:: we are sick

Capt Rian Kwai -> Just checking. If you're not peeved, then I'm not going to give you a reason to be. ::lopsided smile:: I'm sorry to bother you and I wouldn't normally, but...::shrugs:: The normal remedies aren't working. You have something stronger for a headache?

LtCmdrRobinson -> My god, what happened? ::looks at the mess::

August Jax Robinson -> go dead with your son

August Jax Robinson -> *DEAL

Joy -> << Freudian typo? >>

STSF_BluRox -> ::enters Security to look around::

August Jax Robinson -> he threw up, so then I threw up ... here we are

Ayumu Kasuga -> <<lol>>

LtCmdrRobinson -> I already had to deal with him running around the ship naked again. What else could he have done in 5 minutes?

Joy -> Ayumu? Do you have an ETA to anywhere?

Fiona Weber -> Of course... ::giving Kwai a look:: I take it that... most other people are mad at you, then?

Ayumu Kasuga -> ETA to our next destination is about 3.5 weeks

LtCmdrRobinson -> Why did he throw up? ::makes face:: Maybe we should take him to sickbay

August Jax Robinson -> Curse at the Admiral, so I washed his mouth out with soap

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::picks up the smelly vomit boy:: What's wrong with you?

Joy -> Hmm... I take it I need not stand by with immediate readiness, then.

STSF_BluRox -> <Unless we increase to Warp 6, and we can arrive much sooner>

LtCmdrRobinson -> Gunner> Mommy mean.

LtCdrJohnson -> ::enters the TL::

LtCdrJohnson -> Bridge

Ayumu Kasuga -> If you want, I can increase speed and get us there much sooner

August Jax Robinson -> maybe I should have used ivory

STSF_KBear -> Ayumu whats our speed?

Ayumu Kasuga -> Warp 5

Joy -> Don't suppose you have a mysterious anomaly that needs to be investigated?

August Jax Robinson -> You are a bad boy

LtCmdrRobinson -> What? August, dont poison the boy because he used a swear word.

STSF_KBear -> I don't beleive I saying this but Increase speed to Warp 6

Ayumu Kasuga -> None that I can see on sensors. ::shrugs at Joy::

STSF_BluRox -> ACTION: Amazingly enough......sensors have picked up some sort of.... not really a transmission

August Jax Robinson -> that is what you do, soap in the mouth when you use bad words

STSF_BluRox -> but..something odd

Ayumu Kasuga -> Increasing to Warp 6. ::applies more speed::

Jameson Bardolph -> ((lol))

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::cleans him up:: Don't swear at the Admiral.

Capt Rian Kwai -> There's a vocal minority that aren't pleased with one of my decisions. But then again, I guess I can't expect everyone to like everything I do. ::hops up on a biobed::

August Jax Robinson -> you are the one who taught him

Fiona Weber -> ::heads over to the chest of hypos::

Ayumu Kasuga -> Oh, oh. ::Joy:: Yu picking that up?

STSF_KBear -> ::looks to her console hearing a beep:: What in the heck? Im picking up something

Joy -> :: Notes the oddity, and attempts to figure it out. ::

STSF_BluRox -> <lol, so since we've left the Alpha Quadrant, it' ok to go fast and damage subspace? lol... NIMBY!! rofl>

Fiona Weber -> Let me guess, they don't like that you did your job and followed the Prime Directive?

LtCmdrRobinson -> I didnt "teach" him. It wasnt on purpose.

Joy -> Well, I've got something. 04 mark 12?

Ayumu Kasuga -> Yes, that's it

August Jax Robinson -> ::Changes::

STSF_KBear -> Correct Joy Its not really a transmission but its something Odd.

Ayumu Kasuga -> I can't ID it

STSF_BluRox -> ::notes that all of security is off doing rounds execept for a few of Will's lower level minions::

STSF_BluRox -> <omg, parrots!>

LtCdrJohnson -> ::exits the TL onto the bridge::

STSF_KBear -> Better report this to

Capt Rian Kwai -> Aye. :;rubs her temples:: But I don't blame them. I didn't necessarily like the choice either, but it was the only right one to make.

STSF_KBear -> Captain Kwai

Jameson Bardolph -> ::is not doing rounds, having been told to keep off his foot by Fiona::

LtCmdrRobinson -> LLMs> ::spies the admiral and goes to attention::

Joy -> +Heather+ Heather? I've got an oddity at bearing 04 mark 12. Not a transmission we think. Maybe something that needs to be stellarly cartographized?

Heather Jamieson -> +Joy+ "Understood. Moving to examine."

STSF_KBear -> +Rian+ Lt Cmdr Kawalas to Captain Kwai

August Jax Robinson -> I am sick of being the bad parents on the ship

Fiona Weber -> And for that, Sir, it was the right choice. ::approaches, sticking the hypo in her neck::

STSF_BluRox -> ::turns to one of them:: What does Commander Robinson have you working on at the moment?

Jameson Bardolph -> ::P(oh, wait, did Blu come into Main Sec?))

August Jax Robinson -> people talk!

Fiona Weber -> If it's guilt you're looking for, you won't find it here.

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::puts Gunner in his room:: If you use the @#$% word again, Mommy is going to poison you again, so dont do it.

Capt Rian Kwai -> +KBear+ This is Kwai, go ahead.

STSF_BluRox -> <about 5 minutes ago, she's not noticed you sleeping in the corner just yet>

Jameson Bardolph -> ((rofl))

Joy -> :: In her head, Joy calculates power levels and compares it to anything that might be a threat to a ship or a weapons system ::

STSF_KBear -> +Rian+ Captain We are picking up something odd. Its not really a transmission but its something odd. Permission to chance course to take a look?

August Jax Robinson -> ::Looks at Will:: People are talking about us

Jameson Bardolph -> ::at his desk in the corner of the office, foot up on the desk; looks up to see what all the LLMs are scrambling about::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Hands on hips::

Capt Rian Kwai -> +KBear+ Trajectory and distance?

Heather Jamieson -> :: the view on the large screen in front of Heather focused on bearing 04 mark 12 ::

LtCmdrRobinson -> LLMs> Catching up on reports, ma'am.

STSF_KBear -> +Rian+ 04 mark 12

STSF_KBear -> Ayumu distance and speed to intercept

LtCdrJohnson -> ::walks over to Captain Kawalas but stays quiet while listening to the bridge chatter::

Fiona Weber -> ::small sigh, starts prepping a second hypo::

Ayumu Kasuga -> Aye aye.. ::increases speed and plots course to intercept::

Joy -> :: glances at Dave ::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Gives Will The Look::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::hearing a less familiar voice; quirks an eyebrow, swings his leg down and -- carefully -- walks over to poke his head out, noticing the Admiral; straightens up a bit::

LtCmdrRobinson -> LLMs 2> My job is to monitor any strange activity in the replicators involving toast, ma'am.

Capt Rian Kwai -> Got anything in double strength? ::rubs her neck where the first hypo went in, can anticipate what's ahead::

STSF_KBear -> <<LOL Ayumu RE READ my last line>>

Joy -> (( Mind you, 4 degrees left, 12 up is nearly dead ahead ))

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::gets THE look:: We are not bad parents.

Ayumu Kasuga -> <oh! Rofl>

Ayumu Kasuga -> <Read that wrong, my bad>

STSF_BluRox -> <Joy, PM please :) >

LtCmdrRobinson -> The kid is still alive, he's not hurt. Mild case of soap poisoning, mind you, but OK.

LtCdrJohnson -> ::nods to Joy::

August Jax Robinson -> Soap is not poison

Ayumu Kasuga -> We're still a few lightyears away to intercept, our speed is now at warp 6

STSF_KBear -> +Rian+ captain our speed is warp 6 and we are still a few lightyears away.

STSF_BluRox -> I see, and has there been any....unauthorized toast on your watch? :: makes note to self to speak to Will about time management for his staff::

Fiona Weber -> ::sigh, listening in::

LtCmdrRobinson -> Close enough.

STSF_BluRox -> and notices an unsheveled Bardolph prarie dogging out of the next doorway::

Joy -> +Heather+ Quality doesn't feel natural. The frequencies seem to regular. At a guess it's technological, but I don't see any modulation of digitization. Not a signal.

STSF_BluRox -> :::the mussed hair a dead give away to having been napping on duty::

Joy -> < The above said loudly enough that all on the bridge could hear >

Capt Rian Kwai -> +KBear+ Keep a safe distance until it can be identified. Change course but do not intercept until you all have a better idea of what we're dealing with.

LtCmdrRobinson -> LLMs 2> Occasionly to Commander Jax-Robinson, but she's the only case we usually have.

STSF_BluRox -> ::however, decieds it's not her place to reprimand him, she'll come down on the command staff to speak with the dept head and let it all roll downhill::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Shakes head:: I don't feel good, I am going to work

STSF_KBear -> +Rian+Aye Captain

Capt Rian Kwai -> ((Gee, thanks Blu))

Joy -> +Heather+ Or maybe it is a signal. I'm picking up a modulation at 45 Gigahertz.

August Jax Robinson -> ::Stops walking:: I told Blu we were thinking about a transfer

STSF_KBear -> Ayumu Change course but do not intercept

LtCmdrRobinson -> You dont feel well, so you are going to work? What?

STSF_BluRox -> I see, and that's what you spend your whole day on?

LtCmdrRobinson -> Wait. What?

LtCmdrRobinson -> We are?

Jameson Bardolph -> ::steps out, attentive enough (for him), listening to the interchanges::

August Jax Robinson -> Well I get no peace here.. so work

Ayumu Kasuga -> 10-4, sir. ::inputs course as to not intercept::

August Jax Robinson -> we talked about it a few weeks ago, remember?

Joy -> +Heather+ Any planets or stars out there?

LtCmdrRobinson -> LLMs 2> No ma'am. We rotate that job based on whoever is on the Commanders bad side, Ma'am.

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::looking towards Fiona, and while she's not looking for sympathy she's hoping to see at least a slightly empathetic expression as she herself smiles in a self-depreciating manner::

STSF_KBear -> Joy explain ... you think its not natural?

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to KBear:: I hope that is a wormhole we're headed for, wouldn't mind seeing my wife and daughter again

Joy -> :: turns to KBear ::

Heather Jamieson -> +Joy+ "Not a system for five light years. Sensor data on that position you gave me is sitll coming in."

STSF_BluRox -> <Joy..you so missed the opportunity to put in 1.21 gigahertz there...lol>

Joy -> Natural signals generally have more harmonics, and a chaotic feel. This seems fairly clean, which suggests artificial.

Fiona Weber -> ::small sigh, aimed in Kwai's direction::

LtCmdrRobinson -> You still want to transfer? I thought we talked about this...

STSF_BluRox -> <that falls on the XO....under Personnel Rian...see, it already is rolling downhill off of you, see how it works!?>

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::doesnt want to have this talk again::

Joy -> That, and there is a digital component. You don't see nature doing digital.

STSF_KBear -> ::turns to Johnson: I doubt its a wormhole.

August Jax Robinson -> we never finished

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to KBear:: Well it was worth a try...I have completed my diagnostic of the ODN line and found something interesting

STSF_KBear -> agreed,

August Jax Robinson -> you said no and stomped off

STSF_KBear -> ::to joy::

Ayumu Kasuga -> I hope it's not. We all know the adverse affect of entering a wormhole at warp speed

Joy -> +Heather+ Appreciated. When you hit a decent break point, you might want to come down to the bridge. Working this sort of problem, it's best to get everyone together.

STSF_KBear -> Johnson have you reported this to your Commmanding officer?

Ayumu Kasuga -> Well, at least you do

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to KBear:: Commander Jax is...occupied at the moment

LtCmdrRobinson -> I thought that *was* the end of it.

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to KBear:: I didn't want to disturb her given the circumstances, she has been leaving engineering tasks like this in my hands

August Jax Robinson -> think about it, how many times have you been shot at, blown up, turned into a crab or held captive

STSF_BluRox -> Bardolph.......are you also on..'toast duty'?

Capt Rian Kwai -> Looks like I need to return to the bridge shortly. Thanks again for the meds. And the ear.

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to KBear:: Two stations up here have been using quite a bit of power...I'd like to do a little re-routing so that they don't end up blowing up in people's faces...literally

Heather Jamieson -> +Joy+ "Aye"

STSF_BluRox -> <he was only a crab once>

Joy -> OK... Having trouble locking in on the signal system. Not anything I've seen before.

LtCmdrRobinson -> But those events have all been OFF the ship, August. The ship is safe.

STSF_KBear -> Mr Johnson report to her unless its something that is endangering the ship

STSF_BluRox -> <crabby other times yes, but an actual crab, only once>

Joy -> And I would say not a wormhole.

Jameson Bardolph -> ::straightens up as he's addressed:: No, ma'am. Dealing with shift reports at the moment, ma'am. ::grins faintly::

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to KBear:: Yes Ma'am...

August Jax Robinson -> ::Gives him The Other Look::

LtCmdrRobinson -> The worst thing that happens onboard is the ants get loose from the ant farm.

STSF_BluRox -> Let me see one...

STSF_BluRox -> ::holds out a paw::

LtCmdrRobinson -> <<Bardolph, dont you get me in trouble. or you will die>>

STSF_BluRox -> <omg, we still have some of the glow in the dark ants?>

Heather Jamieson -> :: sets stellar cartography to collect more sensor data and relay the findings to a science console on the bridge ::

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to KBear:: I'll clear this with her...I'm sorry for disturbing you, for the moment I'd recomend against overuse of mission ops one...and the science library station

Fiona Weber -> Anytime, Captain.

LtCmdrRobinson -> <<on and off reports of ant troubles. I think we have a colony in one of the JTs :) >>

Fiona Weber -> Come back if it doesn't go away, or you need someone to tell you that your moral compass isn't crooked?

Joy -> OK. Definitely an artificial source, digitized signal, not using a comm protocol normally encountered. Possible first contact, and I can't believe these people will be pre-warp. This signal is too hot.

STSF_KBear -> Define Overuse

Heather Jamieson -> :: Heather gets up and heads for the exit, then around the corning to the lift :: "Bridge."

August Jax Robinson -> ::Sighs:: fine...

August Jax Robinson -> your right... i'm wrong ::Sets up the quicksand::

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to KBear:: 150-300 hours maximum

LtCmdrRobinson -> If anything DOES happen, we have the security protocols to get him to an escape pod faster then anyone else on the ship.

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::slips off the biobed to her feet, grinning:: You sure my moral compass isn't just pointing just a little south of normal?

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::is always right anyways, so that is no revelation::

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to KBear:: Once I get Commander Jax's OK to do some re-routing it won't be an issue anymore

August Jax Robinson -> I am going to work ::Still feels like crap::

STSF_KBear -> JOhnson this console is always in use. If there is a danger in it blowing up in someones face I suggest you repair it Now.

August Jax Robinson -> ::grabs jacket::

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to KBear:: Yes Ma'am....that is what I originally came up here to do

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::heads over to kiss her goodbye::

Fiona Weber -> Oh, no. You have nothing to worry about. ::smirk::

Heather Jamieson -> :: exits onto the bridge ::

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::on the cheek, doesnt want the vomit taste::

STSF_KBear -> :;sighs:: Fix it quickly

Joy -> Good evening, Heather.

August Jax Robinson -> ::Stops him:: really?

LtCmdrRobinson -> What?

Fiona Weber -> I'll let you know when you have to worry.

Heather Jamieson -> "It is evening? Oy.

Fiona Weber -> ::humorless smirk:: You can count on me.

Joy -> I'm guessing this will be a first contact, advanced race.

STSF_KBear -> ::moves away from her console so Johnson can repair it ...moves to the XOs chair::

Joy -> Good whatever.

STSF_BluRox -> Alright..this looks proper...

LtCdrJohnson -> ::walks over to mission OPS one and taps a few controls, bringing up the power usage and ODN line::

LtCdrJohnson -> ::nods:: Thank you

August Jax Robinson -> this isn't over, you didn't win. I am just letting you think you did until later

Jameson Bardolph -> ::backpedals into hsi fofice, hands her one of the reports::

Heather Jamieson -> "Is this signal coming from a planet?"

Jameson Bardolph -> ((bah, lag lag lag lag LAG))

STSF_BluRox -> How do you feel your training so far?

LtCmdrRobinson -> Oh. ::smiles and kisses her on the cheek anyway::

Joy -> From what you said about nothing being in the area, I'd guess a ship.

Heather Jamieson -> (( Thought you said nag nag nag ))

STSF_BluRox -> Away teams? Do you feel that others around you know what they are supposed to be doing?

LtCmdrRobinson -> ((no that is Jax who says that))

Joy -> But it doesn't seem to be moving quickly. As far as I can tell we're on constant bearing.

Capt Rian Kwai -> Thanks again ::waves, then heads out again, literally crossing her fingers as she leaves::

STSF_BluRox -> ACTION: A RATHER HIGH SPEED OBJECT IS MOVING TOWARDS THE SHIP

Joy -> Something heading our way.

Joy -> Quickly.

STSF_BluRox -> ACTION:: THE OBJECT SUDDENLY STOPS BEFORE REACHING THE SHIP, AND BEGINS TO SCAN US

LtCdrJohnson -> ::re-routes a few power conduits making sure to balance everything properly::

STSF_KBear -> Joy can you ID it

Joy -> Ship.

STSF_BluRox -> AS A BRIGHT ORANGE LIGHT FLOODS THE SHIP

Joy -> Incoming scans....

STSF_BluRox -> <THE OBJECT IS ABOUT THE SIZE OF A TORPEDO>

Jameson Bardolph -> ::ponders his answer to that question, then says slowly:: yes, ma'am. The trips to this past planet were...for the most part...pretty straightforward and professional.

Jameson Bardolph -> ::deciding not to bring up the grenade::

STSF_KBear -> Red alert! Raise shields

Heather Jamieson -> (( piloted by gnomes? ))

STSF_BluRox -> ::Sees the orange glow envelope them::

August Jax Robinson -> ::squints:: what the

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::sees orange light:: What now?

Ayumu Kasuga -> What is that?

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::with her headache all ready present, the light doesn't help, she winces and holds her head, trying to see where the heck the light is coming from::

LtCmdrRobinson -> Good, you see it to. I thought I was having a stroke.

STSF_KBear -> RAISE SHIELDS!

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Raises shields:: Shields up

LtCdrJohnson -> ::checks the ODN feed to the console::

Joy -> Very advanced race. I would power down the weapons.

Fiona Weber -> What the...

Heather Jamieson -> :: places her hand over her eyes ::

STSF_BluRox -> ::drops Jameson's padd on the nearby desk and points to the terminal:: Get me a status report from the bridge

Fiona Weber -> ::covers her eyes with one hand::

STSF_KBear -> Go to Red Alert!

Ayumu Kasuga -> POwer down the weapons? ::presses button:: Red Alert

August Jax Robinson -> you go, I will drop him off at day care.. we need to get him overalls, he can't remove them

Jameson Bardolph -> ::head cocks as the alert sirens go up; casualness drops out of his bearing:: Aye, ma'am.

LtCmdrRobinson -> Looks like we are both going to work ::summons the babysitter::

August Jax Robinson -> ::picks up Gunner:::

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::unsummons::

STSF_BluRox -> ACTION: EVERYONE FEELS A BIT OF A TINGLING SENSATION AS THE ORANGE LIGHT HITS THEM, BUT IT STOPS AS THE SHEILDS ARE BROUGHT UP

STSF_KBear -> +Rian,+ Captain to the bridge we have an object dead ahead, its scanning us

Joy -> :: wants to shout down KBear, but follows the chain again. ::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::goes to the console:: +Bridge+ This is Lieutenant Bardolph; requesting a status report for Admiral BluRox.

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to KBear:: Alright...we should be good...::feels tingly::

Jameson Bardolph -> What the-- :;cuts himself off as he feels the tingling::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Betting he wish he knew that :P ::

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to KBear:: I should head for my post

Ayumu Kasuga -> My spidey senses are tingling

STSF_BluRox -> ::fur standing on end:: Uggghh...what is that!?

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to KBear:: Unless you need someone at the engineering station

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::heading for his office::

Capt Rian Kwai -> +KBear+ Oh my way. I hope you all are scanning it as well. ::entering a lift:: Bridge.

August Jax Robinson -> ::Exits and hurries down the hall::

Heather Jamieson -> "Felt like I was getting a sonic shower for a moment."

Joy -> :: Does everyhing she can with passive sensors ::

STSF_KBear -> :: shivers:: Joy Are you getting anything from it?

August Jax Robinson -> Hold on ::Hurries::

Joy -> I'd guess that was a strong active scan.

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Scans the mysterious object as well::

Jameson Bardolph -> Blu> No idea, ma'am.

Joy -> It might be considered polite to hail.

August Jax Robinson -> ::Enters daycare::

STSF_BluRox -> ACTION: The object suddenly withdraws and zips away, going to warp

August Jax Robinson -> ::kisses, exits::

Ayumu Kasuga -> It's gone!

STSF_KBear -> Ayumu Follow it

August Jax Robinson -> ::Slips onto the lift:: Main Engineering

STSF_KBear -> Did anyone get any information from sencors or scans?

STSF_BluRox -> Find out if there are any injuries, get on the horn to Will and see where he wants you folks. I'm heading up to the bridge

Ayumu Kasuga -> Initiating pursuit course now. ::following the thing::

STSF_BluRox -> ACTION: It's LONG LONG GONE already

Ayumu Kasuga -> I couldn't get a proper ID.

Jameson Bardolph -> ::eyebrow up:: +Bridge+ Repeat, this is Lt. Bardolph...::traisl off as Blu speaks to him:: Aye, ma'am.

Ayumu Kasuga -> I've lost the trail. The mysterious object is long gone

Joy -> Probe. Very advanced. Technology we haven't seen before. That seems to be something with transwarp drive, in a very small probe.

STSF_KBear -> +Rian+ Captain the object has left at warp speed. we have set cours to follow.

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::exiting onto the bridge:: Report.

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::steps out of the lift, passes the admiral with a nod and continues to main security::

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to KBear:: I'll head to engineering...she if we can't cross reference the scans with anything we have in our database in the way of space faring objects that move at that speed

Joy -> We are outclassed, people.

LtCdrJohnson -> <<see even>>

Ayumu Kasuga -> I'm inclined to agree with Joy.

Capt Rian Kwai -> Can you track it? Do you know what it was? Hostle intent or not?

Joy -> First contact, Captain, very advanced race, not subtle, but not yet clearly hostile.

STSF_BluRox -> ::sees Will:: Make sure we're secure, I don't want to hear that it stole our computer banks

STSF_BluRox -> Send me a report when you can please Will

STSF_KBear -> ::turns seeing Rian steeping on the bridge and stands::

LtCmdrRobinson -> Yes Ma'am.

STSF_BluRox -> Heads towards the lift

LtCdrJohnson -> ::heads off of the bridge and into a TL::

LtCdrJohnson -> Engineering

Jameson Bardolph -> ::turns, seeing Will come in:: Chief!

Fiona Weber -> +Bridge+ What exactly is happening on this ship? ::figures the requisite time passed before "time for the CMO to get huffy" has arrived::

STSF_KBear -> ::allows Joy to continue her report to Rian::

Ayumu Kasuga -> It was heading 022 mark 5 before it disapeared

LtCmdrRobinson -> Bardolph, get with an Engineer and check the computer's security access logs. Go.

Joy -> We picked up a signal from a clearly advanced source nearly on our path.

STSF_KBear -> +Weber+ We were scanned by Something Wewill inform you more when we have answers

August Jax Robinson -> ::In engineering::

Joy -> We changed course to investigate. A probe came out to look over us from that bearing.

Ayumu Kasuga -> Their technology is unlike anything we've ever seen before

LtCdrJohnson -> +Engineering+ Johnson to Engineering, Bryan, I need you to pull up any and all data we have on probes that can move very very fast...and anything and everything we have on scans that make you feel...tingly

Joy -> The signal used unusual protocols, not in the library.

LtCdrJohnson -> DeAngelo>+Johnson+ Aye sir

Capt Rian Kwai -> No further contact other than that light? Any damage done to the ship or our people?

LtCdrJohnson -> +DeAngelo+ I'm on my way down right now

Joy -> I believe the orange light may have been an energy leak from a probe of some sort. At least no damage reports are coming in.

Jameson Bardolph -> On it, sir. ::starts to jog out of the room, easing his weight as carefully as possible on his left leg::

Heather Jamieson -> :: sensor results from the probe were coming in and being updated and overlayed ::

STSF_BluRox -> ::exits lift onto the bridge:: Status re...::sees Rian and remembers she's left her in charge for the moment

August Jax Robinson -> ::Looks over the energy out-put from that thing::

Joy -> The signal we first recieved was quite clear. They should not be surprised that someone heard it.

STSF_KBear -> Not that we can tell Captain

LtCdrJohnson -> ::exits the TL and walks into engineering::

STSF_BluRox -> Do you have a status report yet Rian?

Joy -> It could even have been intended to attract attention.

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to DeAngelo:: What have you got...

Jameson Bardolph -> ::tapping commbadge, trying to remember the name of the engineer who worked with him in the holodeck earlier:: +Johnson+ Bardolph to...Johnson. ::walks into the nearest turbolift::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Looks over at Dave:: hi

Joy -> But with speed like that... they need not wait for us to come to them.

LtCdrJohnson -> DeAngelo>::to Johnson:: Nothing yet...I'm doing a cross reference

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::Deploys additional security teams to key points throughout the ship in case that scan was a precursor to an attack::

Joy -> :: Turns to Blue :: First contact, very advanced race, transwarp, very powerful scanning technology, not subtle but not clearly hostile, either.

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to Jax:: Sorry Ma'am...didn't see you there, it appears we were scanned by some sort of probe...trying to determine if we've encountered something like it before...and what it might have been

Capt Rian Kwai -> It certainly did it's job then. ::turns to Blu:: Small probe of an advanced race. Left at a high rate of speed. Unknown intent. No reports of damage or casualities.

August Jax Robinson -> Don't let me stop you, ::Smiles:: you are doing great

Joy -> :: To heather :: Refine that as you can. I'll likely be doing politics for a bit.

LtCdrJohnson -> +Jameson+ Go ahead Jameson....

STSF_BluRox -> ACTION: ANOTHER OBJECT HAS APPROACHED THE SHIP

August Jax Robinson -> I am going over the power readings from that thing

STSF_BluRox -> THIS ONE, MUCH LARGER

Joy -> Another approach.

Heather Jamieson -> "Understoo..."

Joy -> Recommend powering down weapons.

STSF_KBear -> ::moves back to her console::

Ayumu Kasuga -> We're getting another bogey from port. Much larger than the first.

Jameson Bardolph -> +Johnson+ Sir, I'm coming down to Engineering -- been instructed to get a look in at the ship's security access logs.

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to Richardson:: Nate...did we take any damage from that thing...

STSF_KBear -> ::looks to joy:: And leave ourselves open for an atack?

LtCdrJohnson -> Richardson>::to Johnson:: Checking all engineering and power systems now sir...but I don't think we did

Ayumu Kasuga -> Shields are still up

Capt Rian Kwai -> But shields up, please.

Joy -> First contact protocol. Do not show hostile intent.

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::raises up:: Shields up

STSF_KBear -> The tinglin from that last one stopped when we raised shields

STSF_KBear -> Shields are up Sir

STSF_BluRox -> ACTION> THIS TIME A BRIGHT GREEN LIGHT ENVELOPES THE SHIP, SHUTTING DOWN OUR SHEILDS....THEN ANOTHER BRIGHT BEAM OF WHITE LIGHT COURSES THROUGH THE SHIP

LtCdrJohnson -> What the hell....

Fiona Weber -> Dear God... ::starts to cover her eyes again::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Stands:: Shields down?

Capt Rian Kwai -> See if you can open a hailing frequ...........aaaaaah. ::shields her eyes::

Heather Jamieson -> "Ugh.."

STSF_KBear -> ::covers eyes:: Captain they have taken down our shields

LtCdrJohnson -> ::checks the console::

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to Jax:: Yes Ma'am...completely

Jameson Bardolph -> Holy...::pushes up against the TL wall and squints at the abrupt bright light::

Ayumu Kasuga -> Shields are d-- ahh.. that;s not nice!

Fiona Weber -> ::was hoping for an explanation, not a repeat demonstration:

August Jax Robinson -> ::Shields eyes, or tries to:: crap

Joy -> We're not going to 'win' with firepower.

STSF_KBear -> hailing frequency open captain

Ayumu Kasuga -> ""attempts to shields her eyes::

STSF_BluRox -> ACTION: SUDDENLY A FEW OF OUR CREW DISAPPEAR. MOST NOTABLY KWAI, BARDOLPH, GUNNER AND FIONA

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to DeAngelo:: Bryan...take all power from non-essentials ::shielding his eyes:: We...need to get sheilds back up!

August Jax Robinson -> <<My Baby!!>>

August Jax Robinson -> <<those poor people>>

Jameson Bardolph -> ((ROFL))

STSF_KBear -> ::turns to see what Rians next orders are but shes gone:: CAPTAIN KWAI!

STSF_BluRox -> IN ADDITION TO RANDOM LOWER LEVEL MINONS

Jameson Bardolph -> ::vanishes from the turbolift abruptly::

Fiona Weber -> (We didn't even pick numbers!)

LtCdrJohnson -> <<So me? LOL >>

LtCmdrRobinson -> <<Cant tell if they are trying to hurt us or do us a favor>>

Jameson Bardolph -> ((lmao!))

LtCdrJohnson -> <<yeah you never gave us a dice roll! >>

Heather Jamieson -> (<- Minion?)

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::blinks trying to regain vision and raise shields::

STSF_BluRox -> Blinks a moment, then turns to Kawalas

August Jax Robinson -> <<we are bad parents!>>

STSF_BluRox -> Calm down

Fiona Weber -> ::gone, mid-thought::

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::sees some of his LLMs disappear:: Crap.

August Jax Robinson -> ::blinks:: Sound off! Jax
