Tachyon:The sad thing was, I could

Tovan:LOL!

LoAmi:Verizon Wireless... we're taking over!

Tovan:Jcin you are experiencing the revolving door effect

STSF_Jorlis:Hey Jcin.

Lt_Jg_Zaphod:lol Tach

Captain_Jcin:Yup. I keep getting booted from the room

precip:well after reading the Consumer Reports Magazine I can understand why...lol

Tovan::P

Captain_Jcin:Everyone got their job?

Peter_Novak:Yes

Lt_Jg_Zaphod:Yep

Tachyon:Oh, so we have to work now?

Tachyon:Sure, have a nightclub--get us relaxed. Then comes the work . . .

Peter_Novak:Problem?

Cdt._Allan_Adams:<CSCI>::sitting in his office looking over science reports: sipping on a cup of coffee

Lt_Jg_Zaphod:<TAC>::taps, running long range scans::

LoAmi:<HOPS> :: sitting at OPS station, tapping panels ::

Captain_Jcin:((Sorry, still having issues, but at least I solved the revolving door thing))

Captain_Jcin:<CO> ::sipping coffee::

Captain_Jcin:<CO><HOPS> ETA to the asteriod field?

Tachyon:<CENG>::sits at an engineering console, looking blankly at what looks suspiciously like work::

LoAmi:<HOPS> ETA 2 min, 30 seconds

Tachyon:<CENG>::console in engineering, not on the bridge::

Sovak:<XO> Checks monitors. Densly packed field, Captain.

Cdt._Allan_Adams:<CSCI>::Looks over the science lab making sure everything is good::

Peter_Novak:<AENG> ::reads a PADD about my great-great-grandfather, Peter Novak, a fighter for equal rights and peace, who was a survivor of one of the worst Nazi takeovers during WW2::

Captain_Jcin:<CO> ::nods:: <HOPS> Keep both hands on the wheel

Tachyon:<CENG>::wonders if he can delegate this job to his assistant::

LoAmi:<HOPS> <CO> aye.

Peter_Novak:<AENG> ::wonders why I didn't inherit that...::

Tachyon:<CENG>::looks at AENG, then back at console. AENG, console, AENG, console, back and forth:: Hmmm...

Lt_Jg_Zaphod:::runs sheild diagnostic, trying to look busy::

Peter_Novak:<AENG><CENG> Eh... problem, sir/

Peter_Novak:*?

Sovak:<XO> Science and Tactical, full scans. Lets find that signal.

Cdt._Allan_Adams:<CSCI>::Spills coffee:: dame it<Science officer> get a mop::Walks over to replicater and gets a nother cup of coffee

LoAmi:<HOPS> <CO> we're now approaching the asteroid field

Lt_Jg_Zaphod:<TAC><XO>Aye sir. ::taps::

Captain_Jcin:<CO><HOPS> Slow to half impulse while we find the best way in

Tachyon:<CENG>::grins::

Cdt._Allan_Adams:<CSCI>+CO+ aye sir ::starts running scans of the asteroid belt::

LoAmi:<HOPS> <CO> aye, slowing to 1/2 impulse ... :: disengages warp engines and brings us in to impulse ::

Lt_Jg_Zaphod:<TAC>::scanning::

Peter_Novak:<AENG>::Peter Novak also won a Nobel Peace Prize::

2Lt_Smootockthewonderfull:<CSEC>::Snaps fully awake as the ship drops out of warp::

LoAmi:<HOPS> :: looks at viewscreen, partially to self :: looks as dense as pea soup

Tachyon:<CENG><AENG>Please go and run a diagnostic on the replicators in the mess hall. I'm receiving anomalous power readings from several.

2Lt_Smootockthewonderfull:<CSEC><HOPS> Are we there yet?

LoAmi:<HOPS> <CSEC> we've arrived.

Sovak:<XO> I see no way to take the ship safely in there.

Captain_Jcin:<CO><XO> That's what I'm thinking...

LoAmi:<HOPS> :: glad to CO and XO have some sense ::

Captain_Jcin:<CO><HOPS> Plot a course skirting around it... but don't take us in

Cdt._Allan_Adams:<CSCI>+CO+ the asteroids are made up of an alloy witch is not in the data banks.. i think thats odd the feild dencity is definatly to great for the ship a shuttle would go perfectly

Peter_Novak:<AENG><CENG> ::snaps out from my reminiscing:: Huh? Oh... replicatores... mess hall... yes, sir

Captain_Jcin:<CO> We'll circle it if we can.. then maybe take in some shuttles

Peter_Novak:<AENG>::leaves::

Lt_Jg_Zaphod:<TAC><XO>Scanning a signal deep in the field sir. It's weak, but there.

LoAmi:<HOPS> <CO> aye. preferred distance?

Captain_Jcin:<CO><HOPS> As close as you can get without scratching the paint job

STSF_Jorlis:<< ROSTER UPDATE: <Helm> redfeather, <OPS> Lo'Ami >>

Peter_Novak:<AENG> ::enters a turbolift::

Captain_Jcin:<CO> ::grins::

LoAmi:<OPS> :: transfers helm control to redfeather ::

Tachyon:<CENG>::yawns and pays attention to the warp core readings::

Peter_Novak:<AENG> ::moves up to the deck where the mess hall is::

Tachyon:<CENG>::logs the readings and gets up::

Sovak:<XO> <CSCI> With all that movement in there, the shuttle pilot would have to be exceptionally talented.

Peter_Novak:<AENG> ::goes to the mess hall::

2Lt_Smootockthewonderfull:<CSEC><XO>Sir, Request to pilot the first shuttle we send in

Cdt._Allan_Adams:<CSCI>+CO+ i agree sir

Captain_Jcin:<CO><XO> That's why I'm sending you, Number One

LoAmi:<OPS> <XO> there's quite a lot of small particulate matter in there. We'd have to watch out for clogging the impulse manifolds on a shuttle.

Tachyon:<CENG>::walks over to the power distribution station::

Peter_Novak:<AENG> ::does some scanning and fixing +CENG+ Done, sir. Those anomalous readings? Melted cheese got into the circuits... blame Ensign Expendable

Captain_Jcin:<CO><XO> ::grins:: If we need it, take our best maneuvering shuttle and a small team

Tachyon:<CENG>::looks up and frowns:: One of these days . . .

Sovak:<XO> ::nods to LoAmi:: Perhaps a strong deflector could be rigged...

Cdt._Allan_Adams:<CSCI>+CO+ sir request permission to go as well i may be able to get better readings from inside the belt

Tachyon:<CENG>+AENG+ Thanks. But the power surges shorted out the relays near Holodeck One. They'll need to be replaced.

LoAmi:<OPS> <XO> I'll send the requested mods to engineering.

Tachyon:<CENG>+AENG+ *conduits, not relays

LoAmi:<OPS> +CENG+ Ops to engineering.

Lt_Jg_Zaphod:<TAC>::still scanning::

Peter_Novak:<AENG>+CENG+ You're quite the slave driver

Sovak:<XO> ::looks to Tac and CSCI:: Anything conclusive on those scans?

Tachyon:<CENG>::wonders why all power conduits on this ship must be interconnected:: +OPS+ Go ahead.

STSF_Jorlis:<< ROSTER UPDATE: <CMO> recycle >>

Captain_Jcin:<CO>+<CSCI> This is a science mission, so yes, you'll be there

Peter_Novak:<AENG>+CENG+ Just kidding, sir. I'm on my way

Tachyon:<CENG>+AENG+ No, you just get things done.

Cdt._Allan_Adams:<<Is not on the bridge is in the science lab on deck 4::

Lt_Jg_Zaphod:<TAC><XO>Yes sir. There definately there. Emitting from the center of the field. Trying to pinpoint them.

Tachyon:<CENG>+AENG+ And because Ensign Expendable, the other AENG, is on vacation, you get his work too. ::grins::

LoAmi:<OPS> +CENG+ the captain is going to need a fast shuttle prepared for a small crew with modified shields to protect it from the dense, small particulate matter in the asteroid field

Peter_Novak:<AENG> ::gets into the turbolift and goes down to holodeck 1::

Cdt._Allan_Adams:<CSCI>+XO+ they are there but like i said hard to get clear readings from out here

Tachyon:<CENG>::narrowly misses sitting on a cheese sandwich left by Ensign Expendable::

Tachyon:<CENG>+OPS+ Acknowledged. I'll get my team on it right now.

recycle:<Cmo><co>reporting

Peter_Novak:<AENG> ::scans a conduit::

LoAmi:<OPS> +CENG+ report back when the shuttle is prepared

Tachyon:<CENG>+AENG+ Change in plans. Report to the shuttle bay for shield modifications to a shuttle.

Sovak:<XO> ::Furrows an eyebrow:: Then I suppose a shuttle is inevitable.

Peter_Novak:...

Tachyon:<CENG>::grabs some engineering equipment and leaves engineering::

Peter_Novak:<AENG>+CENG+ Yes, sir

Captain_Jcin:<CO><XO> It would seem. Assemble your crew, commander

Tachyon:<CENG>::enters TL:: Shuttlebay.

Peter_Novak:<AENG> ::goes to the shuttle bay::

Captain_Jcin:<CO><XO> We have a Danube class runabout in SB1... that should do the job

Sovak:<XO> ::nods:: Aye.

LoAmi:<OPS> <CO> sir, I suggest we send a probe in first, to map the most effective route for the shuttle

Peter_Novak:<AENG> ::sorry, I'm a little tired... to lazy... I'm sorry::

recycle:<Cmo>makes sure sickbay ready!

Tachyon:<CENG>::arrives at Shuttlebay, steps out of TL and heads toward shuttles::

Captain_Jcin:<CO><XO> Keep in constant communication, or we blast our way in to get you

Lt_Jg_Zaphod:::twitching his tail and pinning his ears back, muttering:: I speak and noone hears. ::chuckle::

Lt_Jg_Zaphod:<TAC>

Peter_Novak:<AENG>::rushes into the shuttle bay:: Oh... sh-... eh... am I late?

LoAmi:<OPS> +CENG+ engineering, perform the modifications on the one runabout we've got.

Tachyon:<CENG>::looks around::+OPS+ Thanks, you read my mind.

recycle:<Cmo>::After goes back to dest does some computer work..

Tachyon:<CENG><AENG>::motions to the runabout:: We're going to modify the shields so it can withstand a heavy asteroid field.

Lt_Jg_Zaphod:<TAC>::taps, narrowing scanning beam::

Tachyon:<CENG>::walks over and sets down the cornucopia of engineering equipment::

Cdt._Allan_Adams:<CSCI>::Beginns to prepair for the away mission::

Sovak:<XO> Smootock, Redfeather. YOu're with me.

2Lt_Smootockthewonderfull:<CSEC><XO>Yes sir, ::Follows Sovak::

LoAmi:<OPS> :: gives off one of those thankful sighs that he's not going on this one :-) ::

Cdt._Allan_Adams:<CSCI>+CO+ should i report to the shuttle bay sir

Tachyon:<CENG><AENG>You can access the main deflector to make sure that its mag system is functioning properly.

Sovak:<XO>::stands and heads to TL:: +CSCI+ Chief meet us in Shuttle Bay 2

Tachyon:<CENG>::walks to underside and opens control panel::

Peter_Novak:<AENG><CENG> Yup

Cdt._Allan_Adams:<CSCI>+XO+ on my way sir

LoAmi:<< wasn't it in sb1?>>

Lt_Jg_Zaphod:<TAC><XO>Do you want me to try to map the field with sensors?

Tachyon:<CENG>::removes the "Nominal Shield" module::

Peter_Novak:<AENG> ::tries to find where the deflector console is::

Sovak:<XO> +CMO+ Docter, we require your assisstance for Away Team duty.

Cdt._Allan_Adams:<CSCI>::Exits lab and enters TL:: shuttle bay 2

Captain_Jcin:<CO><OPS> Keep a sensor lock and chanel open at all times with that ship

Tachyon:<CENG>::grabs a "Very Expensive Shield Module" and installs it::

recycle:<Cmo>::calls<co>is everything ok..

Tachyon:<CENG>::resets shield controls::

Peter_Novak:<AENG>I hate runabouts... so.. big and cluttered...

Tachyon:<CENG>::closes panel::

Sovak:<XO> <TAC> That would help. Keep in constant contact with us.

LoAmi:<OPS> <CO> aye... I'm not sure how long we'll be able to hold it, the particle density in there is quite high... and some ofthose particles contain yterium, which interferes with sensor readings

Tachyon:<CENG>::goes around to main shield generator and scans it with a tricorder::

Captain_Jcin:<CO> ::watches everything get prepared::

Captain_Jcin:ACTION> Throughout all of this, the strange signals within the field have not stopped

Cdt._Allan_Adams:<CSCI>::Exits TL and enters SB2::

Tachyon:Mr. Tricorder>Generator a 98% power efficiency. reboot? yes/no

Lt_Jg_Zaphod:<TAC><XO>Aye sir.

LoAmi:<< lol >>

Peter_Novak:<AENG><CENG> Eh... main deflector working at maximum level... sir... eh heh...

Sovak:<XO> +CENG+ Cheif, we'll need one of your team to accompany us and monitor the modified shields on the shuttle.

Sovak:<XO> ::rides the TL to SB2::

Cdt._Allan_Adams:<CSCI><CENG> hi chief hows it coming

Lt_Jg_Zaphod:<TAC>::taps, scanning signal and triangulating a course for the shuttle::

Tachyon:<CENG>+XO+ Great.

Tachyon:<<The runabout is in SB1 according to the CO . . .>>

Peter_Novak:<AENG> ::hums::

Captain_Jcin:((Eh. Its all semantics. Someone just didn't tell me when they moved the runabout to SB2))

Sovak:<<My error. Edit that to SB1>>

Captain_Jcin:(( ::grins:: ))

Tachyon:<CENG><AENG>Great. Guess what. You get to go on the away mission. ::grins::

Cdt._Allan_Adams:<<Magic edits himself to SB1 ;) >>

Peter_Novak:<AENG> ::mimics the CENG::

Tachyon:<<Okay, good. Because last time I checked, the Intrepid class had only one shuttlebay>>

Peter_Novak:<AENG> ::sticks tongue out at CENG while his back's turned::

Tachyon:<CENG>::reboots main shield generator and demagnetizes plating::

LoAmi:<OPS> << "SB2" means the shuttle bay behind the removable partition :-) >>

Tachyon:<CENG><AENG>I heard that.

Sovak:<XO> ::Exits TL to Shuttle bay and starts preflight::

2Lt_Smootockthewonderfull:<CSEC>::arriving at SB1 looks around for CENG::<CENG>You had to mess up my favorite shuttle, couldn't use one of the other ones?

Cdt._Allan_Adams:<CSCI><XO> good evening sir::Enters runabout and sets up a science station::

Peter_Novak:<AENG> ::under breath:: Aw, go boil your head yeh old potato sack...

Tachyon:<CENG><CSEC>No, captain's orders. If you want to lodge a formal protest, fill out Forms 98-32432.

LoAmi:<OPS> +Runabout+ Maintaining an open comm channel... testing... runabout acknowledge?

Sovak:<<Redfeather you with us?>>

Captain_Jcin:((All aboard the runabout please use @ ))

Tachyon:<CENG>::enters runabout::

Tachyon:<CENG>::access shield/deflector control::

Peter_Novak:<AENG>::enters the runabout::

redfeather66:<Helms> :: gets up and follows XO::

Tachyon:<CENG>::accesses configuration::

Tachyon:<CENG>::resets and changes parameters::

Peter_Novak:<AENG> Oooooh! Pretty lights!!!

Cdt._Allan_Adams:@<CSCI>::Prepairs the science station for continual scans::

Tachyon:<CENG>::wipes shield control buffer::

Lt_Jg_Zaphod:<TAC>+XO+ Sir, I've triangulated a possible course for the runabout. I'll uploading it to your systems.

Peter_Novak:@<AENG> ::pushes all of the panels::

Tachyon:<CENG>::resets protocols::

2Lt_Smootockthewonderfull:@<CSEC>::Gets in runabout, takes pilot seat::

Sovak:@<XO> Take the helm, Mr Readfeather. OPS, Mr Smootock.

Tachyon:<CENG><AENG>Don't touch those!

Peter_Novak:<AENG><CENG> I... cannot... help myself!!!

Captain_Jcin:ACTION> The signal from the field cuts off abruptly.

Tachyon:<CENG>::finishes up and dusts off hands (metaphorical)::

2Lt_Smootockthewonderfull:@<CSEC><XO>With all due respect sir, I'm the better pilot

Lt_Jg_Zaphod:<TAC>+XO+Sir, I've lost the signal.

LoAmi:<OPS> <CO> captain, we're no longer receiving the transmission from inside the field.

recycle:<Cmo>::gets up goes takes look outside sickbay...

Cdt._Allan_Adams:@<CSCI><XO. sir science is ready but im not detecting the signal anymore

Tachyon:<CENG><XO>Well sir, I guess that about finishes it up. I've left my . . . erm . . . ::looks at AENG:: capable assistant to join you.

redfeather66:<helm> ::aye sir::

Captain_Jcin:<CO><OPS> Gone completely?

Peter_Novak:<AENG> la la la la la la la la la la la la la... what just happened?

Sovak:@ <XO> That's why I want you navigating, Mr Smootock. Keep in constant contact with TAC.

LoAmi:<OPS> <CO> no sign of the signal. it's as if it were never there

Tachyon:<CENG>::exits runabout:: <XO>Bon voyage. ::grins::

Peter_Novak:<AENG><XO> Who are you?

Sovak:@ <XO> ::nods to Tachyon:: Good. Launch stations.

Peter_Novak:<AENG><XO> When did I get here... and where am I... who am I... why am I here?

Cdt._Allan_Adams:@<CSCI><XO> sir even thoe i dont have the signal i can still estimate where its location was

2Lt_Smootockthewonderfull:@<CSEC>::Gets up and walks over to ops and sits down::

Peter_Novak:...

Sovak:@ <XO> +CO+ Ready to launch, Captain.

Tachyon:<CENG>::goes to shuttlebay control panel and scans the shield assembly with sensors:: Good . . . very good. ::nods::

Cdt._Allan_Adams:@<CSCI>::Prepairs for the launch::

Captain_Jcin:<CO>+<XO> Permission for launch granted. Good luck+

Sovak:@ <XO> Take us out Mr Redfeather.

Captain_Jcin:<CO><HELM> Set course to cirlce the belt once the runabout is clear.. keep looking for a path in

Tachyon:<CENG>::watches the runabout launch:: Good luck. ::grins::

recycle:<Cmo>Comes back in sickbay gets ready do some test..

Lt_Jg_Zaphod:<TAC>+XO+ I've calculated a course through the field. It'll still be tricky because of the movements of the rocks. But it will get you to where the signal use to be.

Cdt._Allan_Adams:@<CSCI>::Watches out the window as the runabout leaves the shuttle bay::

LoAmi:<OPS> <CO> :: since HELM is on the shuttle :: aye... doesn't look like there are any holes large enough to fit a ship this size

Captain_Jcin:<CO><HOPS> Just do your best

Sovak:@ <XO> +TAC+ Keep your console linked with Mr Smootocks.

Tachyon:<<Um . . . is my AENG coming back? ::shakes 8-ball::>>

Tachyon:<<8-Ball> No.>>

LoAmi:<HOPS> :: waiting for runabout to clear the shuttle bay ::

Captain_Jcin:ACTION> The runabout heads towards the asteriod field, which almost seems to have opened a bit to allow it access

Sovak:@ <XO> Let us know immediately if we must change course, OPS>

2Lt_Smootockthewonderfull:@<CSEC>::Starts tapping console, testing the relay between myself and sovak::

Lt_Jg_Zaphod:<TAC>+XO+ Aye sir. ::linking console with the runnabout::

Tachyon:<CENG>::magic edit to runabout since the AENG doesn't exist now::

Tachyon:@<CENG>::flickers into existence near the engineering console and sits down:: Great, an away mission . . . just what I need . . . ::shakes head::

LoAmi:<HOPS> <CO> that's strange... right as the runabout came within 20km of the field, the debris just parted away from it

Lt_Jg_Zaphod:<TAC>::looks at opening getting wider:: This is strange. +XO+ Sir, it seemed the rocks moved for a second there.

Captain_Jcin:<CO><HOPS> Parted.... ::thoughtful::

Captain_Jcin:<CO><HOPS> Keep that sensor lock... and you might want to try for a transporter lock as well

Tachyon:@<CENG>::monitors shield integrity::

Cdt._Allan_Adams:@<CSCI><XO> im not detecting any natural fenominon that would cause them to seperate like that

LoAmi:<HOPS> <CO> it goes against every law of natural physics... The hole is about 5x larger than the runabout's shield radius

Sovak:@ <XO> Adams? You tracking any of the rocks changeing course?

Captain_Jcin:<CO><HOPS> Take us closer... see if it lets us in

Cdt._Allan_Adams:@<CSCI><XO> yes sir but i cant figure out why the sensors arnt picking up anything that would cause them to do so

Tachyon:<<by the way, I moved the shields closer to the ship so that there was more strength for the net area, so the shield radius is smaller>>

Lt_Jg_Zaphod:<TAC>+XO+ It looked like the hole opened slightly to allow the runnabout easy access.

2Lt_Smootockthewonderfull:@<CSEC><XO>Our cource seemse perfect right now sir

LoAmi:<HOPS> <CO> we've still got a sensor lock, but with all the interference, and the runabout's shields, a transporter lock would be quite difficult... moving us in

Sovak:@ <XO> <CSCI? Gravemetric fields do not account for their movement?

LoAmi:<< wouldn't matter... >>

Tachyon:<<Just in case it is relevant later (which it probably won't be)>>

Captain_Jcin:<CO><HOPS> ::shrugs:: Its worth a try

Sovak:@ <XO> Redfeather come to 355 Mark 45,

Cdt._Allan_Adams:@<CSCI><XO> non that i can detect ill try to tinker with the sensors and see if they pick up anything

LoAmi:<HOPS> <CO> we're coming up with in 50km of the particle density and closing...

Captain_Jcin:ACTION> Once the shuttle has entered completely, the rocks change course again.... this time forming a barrier that would be impossible for the runabout to escape

Lt_Jg_Zaphod:<TAC><CO>Sir, I could modulate the sheild and deflector strength to alow us access to the field..

Tachyon:@<CENG>::notices the barrier:: Hmm . . . that's not good.

Sovak:<<Readfeather, you still with us?>>

Cdt._Allan_Adams:@<CSCI><XO. sir were traped

LoAmi:<HOPS> <CO> sir, the particle density has just closed behind the runabout...

Sovak:@ <XO> All stop.

2Lt_Smootockthewonderfull:@<CSEC><XO>Sir, we have no way through now

Captain_Jcin:<CO><HOPS> How far apart? Can they get out?

Sovak:@ <XO> Any ideas>

redfeather66:no want to watch maybe next time

Cdt._Allan_Adams:@<CSCI><XO> a sestained phaser blast may werk

LoAmi:<HOPS> <CO> the particle density is completely closed behind them...

Tachyon:@<CENG>Can't we fly 'over' the barrier? I mean, it doesn't extend all the way around us, does it? ::gulps::

STSF_Jorlis:<< Check your PM's, redfeather, you have a couple of new ones from me >>

Cdt._Allan_Adams:@<CSCI><XO> would you like me to pilot sir i am pretty good with helm controls

LoAmi:<HOPS> <CO> it's actually denser than it was before. Even the modified shields may not be able to hold up

Sovak:@ <XO> Smootock take the Helm. Prepare to fire phasors.

2Lt_Smootockthewonderfull:@<CSEC>::Looking really freaking clueless with this predicament::

Cdt._Allan_Adams:@<CSCI><CENG> yes it does

Lt_Jg_Zaphod:<TAC>::Scanning for an opening, any opening::

2Lt_Smootockthewonderfull:@<CSEC>::hops over to helm::

Tachyon:@<CENG><CSCI>Great, just great. ::shakes head::

2Lt_Smootockthewonderfull:@<CSEC>::Taps vigourously prepping phasers::

Captain_Jcin:<CO> ::Frowns:: Raise the shuttle.

redfeather66:STSF_Jorlis whats a pm's?

Sovak:@ <XO> Fire.
