21:01 | CmdrDutcher | All Crew Present and Accounted for Sir! ::AA:: |
21:02 | CaptMcCloud | Thank you, Commander. |
21:02 | ... | Good evening, Crew. Good to see you all, and I hope you've had a good week. |
21:02 | .. | Have you read the brief, and do we have any questions? |
21:03 | LtAmeliaMoore | y/n |
21:03 | Cdr_Hart | Yes and No, Skipper. |
21:03 | Lt_Andrews | Yes and No, Sir. |
21:03 | CmdrDutcher | No Questions, Captain. |
21:03 | Lt_Banning | y/n, Sir. |
21:04 | CaptMcCloud | Great. Let's... |

21:05 | Lt_Banning | SCI > ::at the science console:: |
21:05 | LtAmeliaMoore | Nurse> ::in medical working with the EMH:: |
21:07 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CO ] still no answers on just what the Falcon sensors picked up? |
21:08 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ XO ] Nothing yet, Commander. That's why we're going to try it ourselves, and utilize the Eagle's sensors. |
21:08 | EnsNguyen | CNS > :itting in the CNS seat, next to the captain:: |
21:09 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CO ] :: smiles:: This should be interesting! |
21:09 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ HELM ] Mr. Toine. Open a corridor. |
21:10 | EnsToine | HELM >[ CO ] Aye, Sir. ::taps the console, opening the slip-stream corridor:: |
21:11 | =/\=ACTION: On the main screen, the swirling blue energies are seen as a slip-stream corridor is opened. =/\= |
21:11 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ HELM ] Take us in, Ensign. |
21:11 | EnsToine | HELM >[ CO ] Aye, Sir. ::taps teh console, again, and the ship moves forward.:: |
21:12 | CmdrDutcher | XO> :: watches on the forward viewscreen as the ship heads into the slipstream:: Can I just say, this part always makes me nervous! |
21:12 | Cdr_Hart | CENG > ::checks all power flows, and gives a satisfied nod:: |
21:13 | DrResork | EMH > ::comes over to Amelia with a cup of her favorite beverage:: |
21:13 | Lt_Banning | SCI > :cans the corridor as they move through it:: |
21:14 | Cdr_Hart | CENG > ::watches the readouts to make certain there are no issues with the slip-stream core:: |
21:14 | LtAmeliaMoore | nurse >[ EMH ] Thank your Dr. How did you know I liked sweet raspberry Iced tea? |
21:15 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > ::watches his board, but knows they *shouldn't* detect any ships.:: |
21:15 | CmdrDutcher | XO> ::glances around the bridge to see if anyone has something to report:: |
21:16 | DrResork | EMH >[ Nurse ] I watch and learn about those whom I work with . :: smiles:: |
21:17 | CaptMcCloud | CO > ::glances to her:: [ XO ] Why so? |
21:17 | LtAmeliaMoore | Nurse> ::Takes a sip and sighs:: And it's perfectly made! |
21:18 | DrResork | EMH >[ Nurse ] I'm glad you approve. |
21:19 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CO ] We are moving so fast. I always worry we'll run into something before we can stop |
21:19 | Lt_Banning | SCI > ::watches the sensor carefully, but does not see the energy reading:: |
21:21 | LtAmeliaMoore | Nurse >[ EMH ] And it was very kind of you as well. You are definitely one my favorite doctors now. |
21:21 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ SCI ] Anything Yet? |
21:22 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ XO ] Actually, we aren't moving any faster than we usually do. It is all the slip-stream corridor. The best way I could think of it is, if we bent space and flew through the shortest distance. |
21:23 | Cdr_Hart | CENG >[ XO ] But the ship does have to be properly modified, or the energies within the corridor would eventually rip us apart. |
21:24 | EnsToine | HELM >[ CO ] We are approaching terminus, Sir. |
21:24 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CO ] :: chuckles:: It still makes me a bit uneasy. And I really would rather not get ripped apart if we can avoid it. |
21:25 | CaptMcCloud | CO > ::goves a glance over to Banning:: [ SCI ] Anything, Lieutenant? |
21:25 | ***Lt_Banning quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client) |
21:25 | CmdrDutcher | (well that wasn't very nice of him ) |
21:26 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CO ] ::turns to the command area::No, Sir. Nothing. |
21:27 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ HELM ] Take us out, Ensign and turn us around. |
21:28 | CmdrDutcher | XO> ::frowns slightly:: So whatever the anomaly was, it did not repeat itself. Unless it only happens with a smaller vessel? |
21:28 | EnsToine | HELM >[ CO ] Aye, Sir. ::takes the ship out of the corridor and into normal space.:: Bringing her about, Sir. |
21:28 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ CENG ] Tom? Are we ready to go back the way we came? |
21:29 | Cdr_Hart | CENG >[ CO ] Aye, Sir. Slip-stream core is ready. |
21:30 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > :: takes a quick scan of the area, finding nothing:: |
21:30 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ XO ] You want to give the order this time, XO? |
21:31 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CENG ] I have a question maybe you can answer, Does the slip stream... Is it always the same corridor for the same origin and terminus, or does it vary? |
21:31 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ HELM ] Take us in! |
21:34 | Cdr_Hart | CENG >[ XO ] The corridor, itself is always, supposed, to be the same. It could just be a bit longer, or shorter, depending on where you want to go. |
21:34 | LtAmeliaMoore | Nurse >[ EMH ] ::looks up:: That's odd. Are we going different places with all these jumps? |
21:35 | EnsToine | HELM >[ XO ] Aye, Ma'am. Opening the corridor. ::touches the console, and a new corridor opens:: Taking us in. |
21:35 | =/\=ACTION: The Eagle easily glides into the corridor. =/\= |
21:35 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CENG ] So the corridor always follows the same path? |
21:36 | DrResork | EMH >[ Nurse ] I believe they are looking for something specific. An anomalous reading that was found in the Falcon's test flight. |
21:37 | LtAmeliaMoore | NURSE >[ EMH ] ::laughs:: Well, that's like looking for a needle in a haystack if you ask me! |
21:38 | Cdr_Hart | CENG >[ XO ] If you program it to, yes. In this case, we are following the exact flight of the Falcon. |
21:39 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CO ] I've got it again, Sir! Forty degress off the port bow. |
21:40 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ SCI ] Can you get any better readings on it, Troy? |
21:40 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CENG ] Thank you. While I did have to lear about the slipstream, none of... ::Looks over at Banning:: |
21:40 | DrResork | EMH >[ Nurse ] :: laughs as well:: I believe you are correct. |
21:42 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CO ] Attempting to, Sir. There is a lot of interference. |
21:42 | CmdrDutcher | XO>::gets up and moves over to look at the science console over Bannings shoulder:: |
21:42 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ HELM ] Slow us down just a bit, Ensign. |
21:43 | EnsToine | HELM >[ CO ] Aye, Sir. ::taps the console:: |
21:44 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ SCI ] What type of interference? |
21:45 | Lt_Banning | SCI > ::gives a nod to Dutcher, and points to the readings. :: [ XO ] The more I look at this, the more it looks like a ship's energy. |
21:45 | Cdr_Hart | CENG > ::also come over and looks over Troy's shoulder:: |
21:46 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ SCI ] Could it be stuck in the corridor? |
21:47 | Cdr_Hart | CENG >[ XO ] It... could be, I guess, but how we would unstick it... ::goes back over to his console:: |
21:48 | Lt_Banning | SCI > :: taps on his console:: [ NOIP ] I'm extending the sensor net, more specifically in that direction. |
21:49 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CENG ] That's a very good question. Is there any way to make contact? If I remember my briefings on slip stream, com didn't work from inside to outside the corridor. But we are both in it. |
21:49 | =/\=ACTION: Once Banning extends the sensor net, it starts to show the shape of a small ship, slightly bigger than a runabout. =/\= |
21:50 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ XO ] Look, Sir. It is a ship. |
21:51 | CmdrDutcher | XO> ::Looks over at McCloud:: [CO] Can we get to it? |
21:51 | Cdr_Hart | CENG > ::taps on his console, running some numbers:: [ CO ] Captain, we might be able to attach a tractor beam, but it will put an extra strain on the core. |
21:53 | CaptMcCloud | CO > ::holds a hand up to Hart, and looks to Wren:: [ OPS ] Commander Dutcher has a good question. See if you can open a channel to the other ship. |
21:54 | LtCdrWren | OPS >[ CO ] Aye, Sir. ::tries hailing the other ship and sees a return signal:: I've got something, Sir. It's weak, but it is a response. |
21:54 | CmdrDutcher | XO> ::looks over at Wren and waits:: |
21:54 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ OPS ] On screen. |
21:54 | CmdrDutcher | XO> ::turns to look at the screen:: |
21:56 | =/\=ACTION: On the main screen, a wavering image appears. The being is a purple-skinned individual, with abulbous head, two eyes and a mouth. =/\= |
21:56 | LtAmeliaMoore | NURSE >[ EMH ] Do you get lonely? I mean ... well do you have those kinds of feelings? |
21:57 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ Alien ] This is Captain Rayne McCloud of the Federation starship, Eagle. Do you require assistance? |
21:58 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CENG ] ::whispers:: Get that tractor beam ready, just in case! |
21:59 | Bot | @ Alien >+[ Eagle ]+ ::can be seen trying to speak, but no audio is heard from them. The alien :: |
21:59 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ OPS ] Can you boost the signal? |
22:00 | CaptMcCloud | CO >+[ Alien ]+ We cannot read you. If you can understand me, and need assistance, close your eyes once. |
22:00 | Bot | @ Alien >+[ Eagle ]+ :: blinks once:: |
22:00 | CaptMcCloud | =/\= Pause Sim =/\= |
22:01 | CmdrDutcher | :aused:: |

22:03 | CaptMcCloud | Alright. We will pick up here, next week. Do we have any questions? |
22:03 | LtAmeliaMoore | No Sir! |
22:03 | Cdr_Hart | No, Sir. |
22:03 | Lt_Andrews | None, Sir. |
22:03 | CmdrDutcher | I have no questions either, Sir! |
22:04 | CaptMcCloud | Great! Have a safe and happy Memorial Day. See you all next week. |
