USS Moreau Roleplay Log - 5-28-06

[Michael Dumont]

Captains log, Star date 2373-4534 We have just been given the piliminary task of taking the Moreau out of dry dock to begin testing on the new transwarp drive system instaled at the Mars shipyard.

Agent Strangelove looks about "Well Star Fleet has issued us a skeleton crew today for this test to minimize risk to the full crew. Status?"

Michael Damone taps his console. "Helm is ready, sir. Awaiting your command."

Asphyxia Lemieux: All systems check out normal sir

Fenrix Murakami: Warp and impulse engines fully operational, sir. Transwarp drive at standby. The new transwarp core is fully operational.

Taevin Marat: All tactical systems are nominal.

Asphyxia Lemieux notices a fluxation and eyes it momentarily before it stablizes on its own

Agent Strangelove nods as he looks at his com screen next to his chair. "We have been given clearence. "Commander take us out please.

Michael Damone nods. "Aye, Sir." His fingers fly over his console deftly, bringing the impulse engines up to 1/4 speed, and slowly pulling the huge ship out of the Spacedock. "We are clear of the station, sir. Awaiting further orders."

Fenrix Murakami: Engines are holding stable, Sir.. All systems are now at standby.

Agent Strangelove looks over his shoulder at Mr. Murakami "This should be an interesting test, what is the speeds we will have to run to give a full shake down on the new engines? Hold us steady Commander till we get past the outer marker of the Sol system.."

Asphyxia Lemieux decides to give crewman Marat a stimulant ingection

Michael Damone nods. "Aye Sir." He said, pressing a few buttons and bringing the ship to ful impusle power, crusing toward the edge of the system.

Taevin Marat: We need to attain warp 9.25 to enter transwarp Captain.

Fenrix Murakami looks over his controls, and grins a bit, tapping his paws across the console. "Hmm, it will be an interesing test, Sir.. I'd say power the transwarp drive up to 50% maximum for now, just to be safe."

Asphyxia Lemieux prepares to do a routine scan of the approaching system

Agent Strangelove nods and looks at the veiw screen as Jupiter passes in it.

Michael Damone looks over at the medical officer. "Ms. Lemeuix, we're in the SOL system, it is quite well scanned already, and besides, we're *leaving* it.

Asphyxia Lemieux appears satisfied that her scanning is functioning properly and logs the results

Asphyxia Lemieux: Aye sir, testing the hardware out

Michael Damone nods. "Carry on, then."

Agent Strangelove "Hmmm I'd like a full sensor sweep still Commander. I don't want to run into anything unexpected because of a Cadets missfiled arriaval report."

Asphyxia Lemieux assures the Captain that she will not misfile any of her reports

 Agent Strangelove "And how fast is exactly is 50% Lt.?"
 
Agent Strangelove grins slowly and nods "Nor have you ever Miss Lemieux."

Taevin Marat: It's more a matter of space folding dencity rather than, speed", the fleet designer pipes in, "The more pwer you put into the drive, the dencer the fold. Thus the more distance traveled within the transwarp corridor."

Fenrix Murakami enters a series of commands.. "Transwarp is it's own speed in itself, captain. 50% will form the transwarp field. Once we reach warp 9.25, as Mr. Marat says, we can fully power the engines up and enter transwarp.

Fenrix Murakami nods to Mr. Marat, "Exactly."

Agent Strangelove "So we should be able to boogie across the galaxy alot faster in otherwords, I'll leave the technical detials like I always have to the engineers... Commander once we clear the system plot a course bearing 234 mark 85 please and take us to warp."

Michael Damone nods. "Aye sir...we are approaching Pluto now, we should be clear of the system in a few moment."

Agent Strangelove "Miss Lemieux is there any known side effects of Transwarp travel in star Fleet records and thank you Commander.... Engage at your will...

Asphyxia Lemieux replies, "Not much in the records regarding any side effects at the moment sir. Only theortical infromation as its still being tested."

Asphyxia Lemieux goes on to say, "We'll be doing the bulk of that testing today."

Agent Strangelove rubs his chin and nods. "Guess we get to be the test *cough* animals then. I look forward to reading the report."

Fenrix Murakami: A manned test at least. All the previous tests have been done on autopiloted ships, with biosample containers. Nothing happened to the samples, and the tests were sucessful.

Michael Damone pushes buttons, accelerating the ship to warp speeds. "Aye Sir, bringing the ship to warp 9.25...now at Warp 5, sir, and rising

Fenrix Murakami: Warp engines are holding stable, Sir. Structural integrity and inertial dampeners are fully operational.

Taevin Marat: Main deflector dish and rudimentary shield system at 100%

Michael Damone watched his console. "Warp 7 now, sir...Warp 8...Warp 9..."

Agent Strangelove looks down at his seat and grumbles something about wishing he had a seat belt for this test and chuckles. "Bring us to yellow alert before we enter into Transwarp..."

Michael Damone felt the ship vibrate slightly as they acceralted past warp 9. "9.10, sir...point 20....Now holding at Warp 9.25 sir, awating your command."

Fenrix Murakami: Powering transwarp coils to 80% sir. Transwarp field is holding stable. Ready to go to full power anytime you are.

Taevin Marat taps a few controls and many bridge lights turn amber, "Yellow alert engaged captain, combat/transwarp shielding activated."

Asphyxia Lemieux checks the biorythms of all crewmembers and prepares to log the results as the ship enters transwarp

Agent Strangelove looks around with a wide grin "Lets make some history...... Attention all hands..... This is the Captian speaking.

Michael Damone groans, wishing the Captain hadn't used the word "history"...

Taevin Marat begis fiddling with quite a few controls aroundthe tactical and engineering sections.
Agent Strangelove "We are bout to enter into Transwarp. All stations.... begin your schedualed test runs..."

Asphyxia Lemieux notices a slight rise in crewman Damone's heart rate

Agent Strangelove "Make it happen Commander. Engage!"

Taevin Marat grasps the control console suddenly.

Michael Damone nods. "Aye Aye, Sir!" He punches the button, and the ship jolts into Transwarp...

Asphyxia Lemieux steadies herself with one arm on the edge of the console

Fenrix Murakami holds his console as the ship jumps to transwarp speed and howls!
Fenrix Murakami: V^v^.:HowwwlzzZ:.^v^V

Agent Strangelove jumps and leans back then in his chair at the effects of the transwarp jump.

Fenrix Murakami: Woo, that's what I lke to see! Engines are holding stable at 100%, Captain. We're now 200 light years from earth already!

Asphyxia Lemieux: Amazing

Agent Strangelove muzzle drops "Did you say 200 light years!"

Taevin Marat: Transwarp shields holding .00026 phase varieance within limits, Watching it.

Fenrix Murakami grins at the Captain, "That I did... Quite a jump isn't it?"

Agent Strangelove nods in amazement.

Taevin Marat taps a few controls and the ship shudders.
Taevin Marat squeeks!

Asphyxia Lemieux hadn't figured that distance travelled would be so great in such a brief jump

Agent Strangelove grabs his chair at the jolt "Report!"

Fenrix Murakami mrrrps!

Taevin Marat taps a few more and it stops. "Whoa, what in blazes was that?!"

Michael Damone: Sir, should I bring us to a stop?

Taevin Marat taps a few more controls, "Some kind of, break in the eps grid, I compensated... but.."

Agent Strangelove "Options...."

Asphyxia Lemieux no signifigant changes experienced in the warp on the crew Capt.

Taevin Marat: We should be fine, but I'd drop out to do a diagnostic.
Taevin Marat looks stumps, truely shocked.

Fenrix Murakami taps a series of controls on his console. "I agree with Mr. Marat, we should disengage the engines and run a diagnostic.. Engines are still showing to be stable."

Asphyxia Lemieux switches her attention to do a full sensor scan

Agent Strangelove nods slowly. Lt. Murakami "Commander you heard em. Bring us out of Transwarp."

Taevin Marat: Lt. Murakami, you were with me when we checked the eps relays on deck 3, right?

Fenrix Murakami nods to Taevin. "Yeah, I was there, sir.. I saw no problems there at all... Perhaps something in that area is sensitive to the extreme velocity."

Michael Damone presses a button, and the ship jolts slighty as they drop back out of transwarp. "Holding us steady at Warp 4, sir, until further command."

Agent Strangelove rubs his chin and punches a few numbers on his command keyboard "350 light years....... "

Fenrix Murakami: Transwarp coils are powering down to 50... 25% power. Coils are now at standby.

Taevin Marat blinks, ".. a blip..", he taps a few more controls. "It was a clean break in the power chain."< he chirrps and keeps tapping controls, "That just makes no sence."

Taevin Marat seems rather hurried, and working many controls.

Fenrix Murakami arches a brow, peering over at Taevin. "Any ideas at all? I'm not sure myself.. I'm still not seeing any power surges during the test, or anything that might've caused that damage...'

Taevin Marat: Well thats just it, there is no damage, all systems are showing fine...

Agent Strangelove: Dr. Lemieux... Are or is the crew reporting any effects from the Transwarp jump... Other than nerves of course?

Asphyxia Lemieux replies, "Nothing signifigant sir, will run a more detaild scan now."

Fenrix Murakami blinks. "But a break would indicate that power conduits might've been damaged.. What systems does that break go to?"

Asphyxia Lemieux peers curiously as the results come in

Agent Strangelove: Lets hope "As he chuckles eyeing the head engineer with a soft grin "No one has a third arm..."

Michael Damone chuckles. "I have a third leg, Sir!"

Asphyxia Lemieux says calmly, "no sir no mutation on the gentic level noted."

Fenrix Murakami: Or has mutated into lizzards yet, fortunately... Definitely much better than Voayger's transwarp test..

Agent Strangelove lifts a brow and licks his lips. "Well then...."

Asphyxia Lemieux says, "However, there's some slight changes in the brainwave activity of the crew. I cannot put my finger down on what it is just yet, but it doesn't appear to be adverse as of yet."

Fenrix Murakami grins at the captain.. "Still, other than the slight anomoly, the test went rather well..."

Agent Strangelove shakes his head laughing "that comment should um... Computer disregard the log content for the Commanders comment please.. Star fleet doesn't need to hear that one..."

Taevin Marat taps a few controls, bringing up a green screen on his display, "The power failure went to.. the deflector and traswarp shield.", he taps a few buttons, "It destabailzed teh shield marix, side-barred to teh inertial stabailzers.", he taps a few

Agent Strangelove: Aye Lt..... a good.... Interesting Dr..... Please monitor the situation and get me detials once you get more please I don't like the sounds of that.

Taevin Marat: controls on teh green screen. "My diagnostic of teh affected section of teh grid is complete, there is no damage.", he rubs his chin, "deck 3 forward starbord section. Junction 3."< h perks, "Want me to check it out captain? In case this isn't reporting

Taevin Marat: true?"

Fenrix Murakami looks over the controls, and blinks. "Sir, I'm not sure how taht wouldv'e affected our brainwaves... The transwarp field shouldn't have. It didn't affect anything in the simulations.."

Asphyxia Lemieux nods and continues monitering the results of the incoming data

Taevin Marat quickly taps a few more controls after he hears that, then looks rather stern.

Agent Strangelove: Yes Mr Marat... Please do.... Find out the problem so we can get this ship out of the dock and back into space were we belong

Fenrix Murakami: Commmander, can you tell us where we are exactly? What region are we in?

Asphyxia Lemieux has been cross referencing the results from previous tests and notices that no such information was detailed in any of those tests

Taevin Marat taps a series of controls, "Aye aye Captain."
Taevin Marat calls back out of the turbolift, "Keep an eye on the deplector Lt.", he addresses the ehead engineer. "take us out of warp the slightest sign of trouble."

Michael Damone: We appear to be about 1.7 lightyears from the Wells system...and about 27 LY from the nearest starbase.

Agent Strangelove: Plot a course Commander to that starbase...."he looks at his consoule "Star base 9... Hmmm the Uss Enterpize is there....

Asphyxia Lemieux does a full sensor sweep of the area

Michael Damone reads his console. "Hmmm, that's odd..."
Agent Strangelove: Well don't leave us in the dark Commander...

  Fenrix Murakami: NOt seeing any anomolies in the warp systems at all. We're still holding steady at warp 4.

Michael Damone: Well, captain, when I engaged the transwarp drive, I plotted a heading of 234 mark 85, like you said...but when we exited, our heading was 234 mark 82...The jolt could of caused that, but the systems are supposed to compensate...

Agent Strangelove: We will have to make a note of that... I hope mr. Marat can shed some light on the situation. Thoughts Lt?

Michael Damone nods. "Aye sir. Plotting a course to Starbase 9 now."

Taevin Marat calls in on the com, "Marat to bridge."

Agent Strangelove: Take us in slow Commander if we can get the transwarp drive systems opperational I'd like to... blow the nacells off the Enterpize when she departs in a few hours.

Fenrix Murakami punches some commands into his console. "Hmm, sir, when the transwarp shielding started failing, it's possible it effect our heading, especially if only one side when down or weakened at first.

Agent Strangelove nods "This is the bridge report Mr. Marat."

Michael Damone chuckles. "Aye sir...I'd like to see the look on Admiral Picard's face when we do, Sir!"

Taevin Marat speaks up, "I checked the main eps junction on deck three. Everythings showing just fine up here, diagnostic systems and hardward checks out.", a few control blips can be heard. "I can check the other main bundle physically on the engineering deck

Asphyxia Lemieux notices that that's the exact moment that the change in the crews brainwaves was registered at the time of the shield's weakening

Agent Strangelove: Find the problem Mr. Marat... We may have a priceless oppertunity to do some head turning with the flag ship in this sector, if you catch my drift?"

Taevin Marat: but I'm not showing any other systems were compramised, just this junction.", taps a few more controls and some stddering beep is heard. "Strange, the chronometer is off from teh rest of the ship here, at this panel, even junction."

Agent Strangelove perks his ears suddenly "Dr... could the brainwave discrepance corilate with a shift in space time?"

Fenrix Murakami blinks, looking over his diagnostics. "That's very strange... How far is the chronometer off from the rest of the ship?"

Michael Damone looks over at the Medical Officer. "Captain, I don't see why you are so concered, we all appear to be healty, and I feel perfeclty purple flotsam watermellon!"

Asphyxia Lemieux: Its not a physical change that is being noted Commander, buts so subtle that it might have been isolated to this incident when the shield went down. Which is why it was never found on previous tests since that had never occured during them.

Agent Strangelove lifts an eyebrow "Interesting."

Taevin Marat answers a brief, "Same amount of time I read that phase discrpancy, 5.6 seconds.", he taps a few more controls. "Mrs Lemieux, showing any chronoton flux having taken place in the section the junction is in?"

Fenrix Murakami: Hmm, this is the first test on a Moreau class starship, so it's possible something was missed. I'm really not seeing how though, Sir, this ship was designed for transwarp.

Asphyxia Lemieux adressing Taevin back, "Only a minor fluxation before our test began, but it had stabilized on its own then."

Agent Strangelove: Even the best Enginers make mistakes when buildin ships Lt... "as he grins "I seem to recall you accidently setting the replicators to make green jello one time on the entire ship... Or will you finaly admit that was a practical joke considering I don't l  like jello?

Michael Damone: Captain, we will be approaching Starbase 9 withing 20 minutes...

Taevin Marat taps a few more controls, "Then it's confirmed. It's almost as if someone transported the main relay junction out, or almost ... off the ship.", he scoffs. "That's impossible."

Fenrix Murakami blushes some. "I suppose that is true Sir, though I was sure we went over everything in the design.." He grins at the captain. "I admit nothing. I say it was a malfunctioning plasma coil and I stand by it!"

Agent Strangelove: Commander take us out of warp.. Lets float a bit... Inform Star base 9 we are performing tests in the area.

Taevin Marat: Even the sensor's didn't show it on board, the logs..". A pound is heard against the bulkhead. "Gah! and just hit my head on the hatch."

Agent Strangelove grins and winks at the monocrome wolf "Then a plasma coil it will stay.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
End Part One.

[Michael Dumont]

Fenrix Murakami blinks at at that, and rrfs? "Are you saying the relay isn't there?"

Agent Strangelove chuckles and looks about with a wide grin "Are you ok Mr. Marat?"

Michael Damone nods. "Aye Sir, Starbase 9, this is the USS Moreau, we are performing tests in the area, please advise all ships to stay clear of this area if possible."

Taevin Marat rubs his head and chrrrs, "For those 5.6 seconds the ship is saying it wasn't.", he taps a few more controls and a hatch is heard closing. "We were on secondary systems. Suprised it didn't collapse the EPS grid."

Taevin Marat adds, "Thats what makes it funny, we're still in one peice."

Michael Damone looks back at the Captian. "Sir, should we tell them about the rusty monkey handlebars?"

Fenrix Murakami snickers and nods to the Captain. He mutters something about strawberry jello next time...

Agent Strangelove looks slightly worried "Define still in one peice mr Marat..."

enrix Murakami hmmms. "Interesting. Are there any systems that could generate some kind of temporal displacement in that area?
Asphyxia Lemieux replies, "Sir, is it safe to assume that the relay junctioned phased out for those brief seconds and somehow shifted position from its original placement?"

Agent Strangelove looks very puzzled then "Rusty..... Commander are you feeling alright?"

Michael Damone: Um, sir, I just asked if we should inform Starbase 9 about the Transwarp malfunction?

Asphyxia Lemieux: Sir, we passed by numerous systems in the blink of an eye. I'll try and track down any anomolies from each one but it could take some time

Agent Strangelove perks his ears and looks about "Did everyone hear the Commander say rusty monkey handlebars?"

Michael Damone looks confused. "I said what?"

Fenrix Murakami nods to the Captain, "That I did, Sir..."

Agent Strangelove looks at Dr. Lemieux "Dr?"

Taevin Marat responds, "A power failure of that magnatude could have collaps our deflector and shield bubble. Even a portion of a second of it collapsing we may have sustained serious damage.".

Asphyxia Lemieux: Aye sir
Asphyxia Lemieux replies to the question, "I did hear that statement."

Agent Strangelove rubs his chin and looks very worried "We should have been turned into space dust and now... Hmmmm

Michael Damone: I was just sitting here, and pushed the button to mute the walrus diskjockey with Starbase 9, and I asked if I should tell them about the Transwarp problem?

Agent Strangelove: Negative Commander....

Fenrix Murakami enters a series of commands into his console. "Hmmm.. Taht's interesting. When the shield failed, the auxiliry ssytem should've kicked in to correct the problem.. So why didn't it?"

Taevin Marat answers Asphyxia, "It's possible Doctor but, I'm still puzzled why I'm showing no reading of a chronoton flux down here.", he taps a few more controls. "Seems more like a physical shift than a time based one so... Phasing out I guess would be a good word for it."
[
Fenrix Murakami: Hmm, maybe part of the ship dropped below transwarp for a brief period of time when the shield failed? I don't know of anything that could generating a phasing field like that on board.

Agent Strangelove: Walrus disk jocky.... Commander I'll take the heml Doctor if you would please take a look at Commander Damone please

Michael Damone: But Sir, I feel perfectly gangreen!

Asphyxia Lemieux curiosly says, "The fact that only that particular area was affected and not the the rest of the ship and its crew."

Taevin Marat answwers, "Lt., I re routed power when the phase variance hit and teh ship began to shudder.", he pokes a few controls. "I'm unsure why it didn't correct itself."

Agent Strangelove: That is an order Commander, you are relieved..... Dr I think we may have found a creweffcet

Asphyxia Lemieux does a cursory scan with her mdeical tricorder
Asphyxia Lemieux furrows her brow and does a more thorough scan

Taevin Marat calls once more, "I'm headed to engineering, see if I can track the problem farther, Marat out."

Agent Strangelove hits unmute "Star base 9 this is Captain Strangelove of the USS Moreau. .... Please be advided to have all star ships stay clear of our position, Our tests will or could effect ship travel in the area. Standby for further updates Moreau out. Thank you Mr Marat... Please keep us advised. Fden do you want to go and give him a paw?

Fenrix Murakami taps a series of controls on his console, frowning a bit. "Hmm, I think so, Captain. there's not much else I can do from here really."

Agent Strangelove: Dismissed then. Track down the problem and see if we can't get it fixed

Fenrix Murakami: Aye sir. We'll begin work on it immedaitely

Taevin Marat: Aye aye sir.", he adds, seeming to have been in a rust, not having waited for the Captains aknowledgment.

Agent Strangelove presses a few buttons to bring the ship to a full stop and then smiles at Lt Pirandello comes in "Glad you could join us Lt... Please take the helm.

Keign Pirandello: Aye, Captain. Sorry I'm late.
Fenrix Murakami enters engeering from the turbolift. "waht's the status on your diagnostic so far?"

Agent strangelove: Dr.... what have you found?

Taevin Marat stiffens up and looks a slight bit nervous. "Well, I'm trying to track the source of the phase varience, and it seems to have been an eternal phenomenon.", he chirfs, "It caused a mild breach of the shields and it's almost as if something pushed it's

Asphyxia Lemieux takes her hypo out and admnisters something to calm the Cammanders nerves a bit, seeing them having a slight rise in activity

Taevin Marat: way in once the sheilds weakened."
Taevin Marat taps a few controls and gestures, "You see... almost akin to a tractor beam of sorts, but on a subspace wavelength."
Taevin Marat taps a few more controls and studies, muttering.

Fenrix Murakami blinks, stepping over to the console and observing. "What the... Waht could've caused that? No other starships have transwarp drives in this area, there's no way that couldn've happened, is there?

Agent Strangelove: Lt. We are just 20 minutes away from Star base 9.. Plot a course in to the helm but keep us here at a dead stop till we can figure out what is going on with this enomily in the transwarp system.

Asphyxia Lemieux: Aye, the origin of that can be difficult to peg down while in transwarp, but I've got the computer working on the point it could have occured during the jump.

Agent Strangelove: Ok Dr.

Michael Damone: Captain, with your permission, I'd like to go to my quarters and lie down for a bit...I think the pressure of piloting the first Transwarp jump must of gotten to me a bit

Taevin Marat taps a few more controls, Then a few more, looking at various readouts.
[
Asphyxia Lemieux shudders to think that someone would try and steal the device while in midwarp...the results would have been disatrous to the ship and its crew had it been succesful

Fenrix Murakami: What if something was attached to our ship when we left.. It detatched itself, then disrupted the shields... Is that possible?

Keign Pirandello nods and massages the console briefly, ears perked at the comm traffic, "Aye, Captain. Course plotted for Starbase 9, impulse standing by... Holding for your order."

Agent Strangelove nods and smiles "Get some rest Commander. i'll checkon you in a few hours, or the Doctor will.'

Fenrix Murakami enters some commands on one of the consoles, looking over some readouts on the transwarp shielding.

Taevin Marat pads over to another console, taps many controls and brings a miniature scan screan, "Checking interal and outer hull sensor logs now."

Michael Damone: Aye Aye, Sir!

Taevin Marat blinks and a rapid beeping is heard. "I'm showing something.. standby, anylizing."

Asphyxia Lemieux "I'll look in on him later Captain."

Agent Strangelove taps his chair and checks the system readouts "Good to hear dr. Has the crew reported anything like what the Commander experianced?"

Fenrix Murakami peers over at Taevin, then steps over to the console.. "You've got something?"

Michael Damone enters the turbolift. "Deck 4, Officers Quarters." the doors close and the Commander disappears from view

Taevin Marat: Small device, about the size of a softball, attached outside of deflector control.", he taps a few more buttons, "See here? It.. transmitted a subspace signal and caused the phase vairence from the inside of the shield bubble."

Asphyxia Lemieux: Most are complaining about mild disorientation.

Agent Strangelove: Hmmmmm. I do hope thisw will not effect our schedualed departure date in a few eeeks after these tests are finished. I was looking forward to the new frontier missions we were set to begin.

Fenrix Murakami hmms, peering at the scan.. "Where would we have picked up that from though? Sabotage?"

Fenrix Murakami looks it over.. "Hm, was it already on our hull, or did we pick it up while in transwarp?"

Taevin Marat bleeps a few more buttons, "could have been any time between leaving drydock and when I engagued the shields prior to entering the corridor."

Taevin Marat: The logs from drydock show no record.", he taps a few more controls, "Ah, it must have been in teh vacinity, or nearby.", he ponders.

Asphyxia Lemieux says, "Captain, no thers on board have reported any symptoms as noticed in the Commander."

Taevin Marat he taps a few more controls, "Ploy-trinsic alloys.. boinetic circutry..", he blinks, "I'd have called it borg if I didn't know what to look for..."< he chirps, "Almost even similar to our back-engineering, but .. it's not starfleet."

Fenrix Murakami blinks again, and peers to Taevin. "Hmm, should we warn earth about a possible intruder in the region then?"

Agent Strangelove slowly lens back and runs his paw thru his hair looking a little fatigued himself. "Hmmmm ."

Taevin Marat nods swiftly, "Indeed, inform the Captain."

Agent Strangelove: At least it is an isolated incident then.

Keign Pirandello quietly studies his console, reviewing various records from the past hour, "This ship's still too new to me. I can't tell from these readings if there's been any change in the harmonics from drydock to transwarp..."

Fenrix Murakami hmms, looking over the readouts. "Not borg, not starfleet.. But bionetic.. Maybe someone experimenting with borg-based technology.."

Fenrix Murakami nods to Taevin, and speaks up, "Murakami to Bridge. Captain, I suggest we contact earth, and warn them about a possible intruder in the region. I think we're looking at sabotage."

Asphyxia Lemieux reads the data from the computer, "Just as I thought, the possible thought of a tractor beam used did occur during the warp. However, the source cannot be tracked, only the point at which it occured. Narrowing it down to a particular quadrant."

Agent Strangelove: We are 350 light years from the mars shipyard... Does anyone know if Starbase 9 has the the engineering facilities to ...............

Agent Strangelove: Aye Lt Murakami.  Are we under any threat of possible further sabatoge?

Asphyxia Lemieux noticed the Captain's fatigued look and watches him closely

Fenrix Murakami: Unknown, Captain. If we were attacked by someone with transwarp technology that doesnt' want us gaining it as well, then likely, yes, we have company. So far, this is the only starship we have with transwarp capability.

Asphyxia Lemieux: None at the moment now sir, the point at which the itrusion began is at least 270 light years back

Asphyxia Lemieux: If that be the case then they could easily follow us here

Asphyxia Lemieux finds it odd that nothing comes up in her review of the scans and shakes her head while still trying to find where and how the breach occured

Agent Strangelove: Red alert... Lt.... Take us to Star Base 9 immediatly.

Fenrix Murakami: Sir, if I may suggest, we could start powering up the drive, as if we're doing another test. That might make them do something to prevent it. However, I'm not sure how the weapon systems are on the ship as of yet, since they're untested.

Agent Strangelove: Understood Chief.....

Taevin Marat pipes in, "Running a scan for additional similar components.", he taps a few controls, "Not finding anything. Though if someone wanted to do what the Lt is suggesting, they knew just what to do to get through surface scans."

Agent Strangelove taps his consoel "I'm not taking chances on this one even if we have to get the Flag ship involved."

Keign Pirandello taps a few buttons, sending a deep hum eminating through the ship as the impuse engines kick on, turning it about, "Aye Captain, preparing to jump to warp in two... one..." He states, the viewscreen drawing tight as the ship jumps.

Fenrix Murakami: Perhaps heading to the starbase would be best captain. I don't want to push us too hard, especially if they are actively tracking us..

Asphyxia Lemieux doesn't find anything out of the ordinary in her sensor sweep thus far

Agent Strangelove opens a secure command channel "Star base 9 this is Captain Strangelove of the USS Moreau. We requier immediate assistance... Please advise all star ships in the area this is a level one priority.... We have sucumed to possible sabotage...

Fenrix Murakami: Warp engines are holding stable captain.. I'm showing... wait. What is that? Running a scan now... We require an imediate escort if possible... Uss Moreua awaiting futher assisance out...

Taevin Marat begins to tap a few controls here, glancing at readouts, tapping a few more.

Fenrix Murakami: Sir, I'm showing a small object closing in on us. I suggest going to warp 9, try to outrun this thing.

Keign Pirandello brings up a status indicator for warp engine efficiency and output, "Enroute to Starbase 9 at warp 7. ETA: 17 minutes, 25 seconds...Engine status: nominal."

Agent Strangelove: You heard the cheif Lt.. get us out of here... lets out run what ever it is."

Taevin Marat pipes in, "Need me to coeme up to tactical Captain?", hechirps, "I can still assist the Lt up there."

Agent Strangelove: Aye Mr Marat... get up here on the double!"

Taevin Marat replies, "Aye sir, on the way."
 Taevin Marat dashes.


End Part Two.

[Michael Dumont]

Keign Pirandello nods and sits up in his seat, "You got it, Captain. Pushing to warp 8... 8.3... 8.7... approaching warp 9, engines status stable. I'm still showing a slight loss in efficiency, but well within perameters."

Fenrix Murakami: The object is starting to fall back captain.. I don't think it can outrun us at normal warp speeds...

Asphyxia Lemieux: I can't seem to run any scans for lifeforms on board the craft Camptain...not that there's none to be found. Only that I can't seem to read into it.

Fenrix Murakami: I'm getting a clear reading on the size of the object. Maybe 3 meters in length . Maybe a probe of some kind, or a drone?

Agent Strangelove taps a control "Star base 9 be advised we have detected a hostile object in your area we are porossedding at high warp in your direction. We will be sending telemitry and tactical data.

Asphyxia Lemieux finally manages to complete her scan, "No lifeforms, it may very well be a drone or probe of some sort."

Keign Pirandello hmmms, looking back and forth across his display, "Captain, I'm showing an improvement in efficiency the longer we maintain high warp. ETA to base: 3 minues, 10 seconds..."

Agent Strangelove: This will soon be the rpide of the fleet as far as ships goes..... I hate to say this but.... Hial the Enterpize Mr. Marat.. We cannot chance this ship being damaged futher by this probe or object any more...

Fenrix Murakami: Murakami to Bridge! Sir, I'm showing the object in front of us now!! It's... What's it doing? It's riding the front of our warp field... How the hell is it doing that...

Agent Strangelove: All Stop! Weapons online.....

Taevin Marat makes his way right up to the tacticle console and punches a series of buttons, "Aye captain.", he touches a few more controls, "Hail sent, bringing photonic torpedos and phasers online."

Taevin Marat taps a few more controls, "Poly trincsic allor, bionetic signature."

Fenrix Murakami: Transferring power to shields and weapons sir...

Keign Pirandello taps his console and grips the arms of his chair, "All hands, brace for immediate stop!" He warns, the ship lurching as it drops suddently from warp, the viewscreen panning to a wide angle of a steady startfield, "All stop. Impuse engines standing by

Asphyxia Lemieux: Strange, it seems to not read out on my scan of it...almost as if it at can mask itself from detection

Agent Strangelove: Defensive pattern Zeta picard one Mr. Pirandello.. Tactical can we get a lock on the object?

Taevin Marat taps a few more controls, "It's phasing in and out..", tapping a few more controls. "WHat the...", he blinks, "I had a solid sensor lock on it, broadaning sensor array."

Taevin Marat hits a few more controls, "I... have it.", he taps a few more controls. "Lost it."

Keign Pirandello nods and turns the ship the ship about, "Defenfive pattern zeta Picard 1. Taking us toward the starbase, captain. We should have them on visual in 5 minues..."

Agent Strangelove growls "If you have to Mr. Marat take your best shot."

Taevin Marat nods swiftly, "Switching to manual fire, firing forward phaser array.."

Keign Pirandello: Tactical, I'm sending you a reading of our current course and maneuvers. You should be able to match them to your firing arc for a better shooting solution.

Taevin Marat: Aye, phasers missed, copensating with new readings.", he taps a few more buttons, "Direct hit!"

Agent Strangelove: Report... Any damage?

Fenrix Murakami punches several controls on a panel. "Murakami to Bridge, the object fired on us, it displaced one of the floor bulkheads on deck 5... No resulting damage, think they missed their target..."

Taevin Marat: Affeirmative, the object seems to have stopped phasing.", he taps a few more controls, "It's sending a subspace signal."

Agent Strangelove: Jam it!

Taevin Marat taps a few more controls, "Attempting.."

Agent Strangelove: Thank you.... Mr Murakami.

Keign Pirandello runs a hand up the side of his console, "Preparing to jump back to warp 6. Tactical, you've got on last shot as we come about toward the starbase in four... three... two..."

Taevin Marat: Subspace signal blocked, should I fire again Capatain?"

 Asphyxia Lemieux: Sir, if we can intercpet its signal, we may be able to decode it

Agent Strangelove: Fire again, disable it if you can I'd like to know who made it... Belay that order Tactical.... Dr... can you get a decode in time?

Fenrix Murakami: Sir, I'm reading power fluctuations on board the alien object. I believe it's regenerating. What the... If it's not borg technology, it's pretty damn close!

Asphyxia Lemieux: Aye Captain, I can capture the signal, it has a repeating pattern.

Keign Pirandello holds for the parting shot, pausing an extra second before poweing up the warp engines, throwing the ship back into warp, "Warp engines engaged. ETA: 43 seconds... The base should be in visual range in 15 seconds."

Asphyxia Lemieux records enough off of the signal to enter into the ships computer for de-encryption

Agent Strangelove: Blast it out of space! If it's borg we will take no chances.

Asphyxia Lemieux: Agreed

Taevin Marat nods swiftly and seems rather shaken, "Aye aye Captain... firing phasers.", a downtoned blipping is heard, "It's..... adapting.", he gulps. "Phiring photonic torpedo, randomising impact frequency."

Fenrix Murakami: Sir, it's targetting our anitmatter pods with the phasing weapon.... *sevreal beeps* I'm blocking their targetting ssytem..

Fenrix Murakami: I recommend evasive manuvers, keep them from getting a lock on us!

Agent Strangelove: Attack pattern Strangelove alpha 2 Lt.... Get agressive. Show us what you can do with a Moreau class ship.

Taevin Marat taps a few more controls, "Direct hit.", he grrrfs! "Die already.", he exclaims tapping a few more conrtols, "Firing again, full spread."

Keign Pirandello nods, folding his sunglasses and tucking them in the collar of his shirt, "Aye Captain. We'll be in range of the base defensive grid in 10 seconds.... Preparing to drop from warp. Pattern Strangelove A2... Tactical, ready the forward array. I'm bringing us about."

Agent Strangelove: Under advisement mr Murakami..... We can't let this yhing near the star base if it has this type of weaponry

Taevin Marat tas a few more controls, "It's suffered moderate damage. Re-modularting and randomising pforward phaser banks."

Fenrix Murakami: Sir, if we adjust our weapons to match the phase of their ship, we might be able to target it... but how... *punches in a series of commands*

Agent Strangelove: Anyting to get a lock on it.... Were is the Enterpise?

Fenrix Murakami: Yes! If if they fire their phasing beam at us again, we can deflect it back to them. It'll act just like a conventional weapon on their ship...

Taevin Marat blinks, "They should have been with us already.", he taps a few more controls.

Agent Strangelove: Get it done fenrix...... Tactical and helm corrilate with engineering

Fenrix Murakami makes some adjsutments to the warp field, "Hmm, not sure how well this will work. If it doesn't they'll reach their target, and probably destroy us..."

Keign Pirandello puches a few more keys on his console, "We need a shooting solution quickly. I'm bringing us within a kilometer of the enemy vessel on a strafing run. Concentrate all fire to the port side, 10 o'clock..."

Taevin Marat taps a few more controls, "I can't reach the enterprise..", he taps a few more controls, "Lt, youll need to correct the phasers from the console i was at in engineering, recalibrate it using our previous phase variance reedings, fast."

Agent Strangelove: Our weapons are near in effective with its ability to regenerate.... It may be our only hope considering we have no back up. Damn it Picard.. were are you...

Fenrix Murakami: Aye, Mr. Marat, I'm at the console. recalibrating the phasers now....

Taevin Marat taps a few buttons and a clowing green console appears on his panel. He looks very hesitant, but his a few more puttons.

Taevin Marat nods, "Llocking phasers on target.", he hits the button, "Firing!"< and what you see before you is a massive explosion."

Fenrix Murakami: Calibration complete./

Agent Strangelove: Did we get it?

Taevin Marat: where there once was the object, and that phaser looked more powerful than anything that has been seen before.

Fenrix Murakami: Confirm, the object has been destroyed? *scans*

Asphyxia Lemieux says with a concerned look on her face, "Captain, the signal transmitted is relaying our position and information regarding the transwarp device. Whether we jammed it in time is unknown."

Taevin Marat: We got it...
Taevin Marat hangs his head, he broke a sweat.

Fenrix Murakami: What was that. Sir, our power readings down here.. spiked before the weapons fired. I think they almost got our warp core...

Asphyxia Lemieux and adds, "and the computer identified the siganl as one used by the Borg."

Keign Pirandello: Standing down attack posture... Resuming course to Starbase 9, three-quarter impuse. Engineering, are we warp capable?

Taevin Marat blinks, "Heh, Lt... I think they re engineered starfleet technology."

Agent Strangelove shakes his head and sighs as he looks at the veiw screen "Scan the area... Lt. bring us into the protecive perimiter of Star base 9

Taevin Marat grins, "Just like we did iwth this ship."
Taevin Marat laughs, "And the trans warp."

Fenrix Murakami: Indeed we are, helm. Warp engines are at standby. They sufferd no damage from the phasing weapons.

Fenrix Murakami: Interesting though, the borg didn't even have phasing technology. Must've been a recent acquision of theirs.

Keign Pirandello hovers a hand over his console, "Jumping to warp 2... We'll be inside the defensive peremeter in 17 seconds."

Fenrix Murakami: Or something we've never seen before. Captain, I've done all I can down here, with your permission, I'll return to the bridge.

Agent Strangelove leans back and looks very tired. "Come on up ...." and rubs his head'

Fenrix Murakami: Aye sir, Murakami out.

Asphyxia Lemieux observes Captain Strangelove, "Feeling a bit drained from the encounter Capt.?"

Keign Pirandello taps his console and leans back, letting out a little sigh, "Starbase 9 in visual range. Brining us in at half impulse. Congratulations, Captain. We're here..."

Fenrix Murakami steps onto the bridge a couple minutes later, looking a little stressed himself, but okay.

Agent Strangelove: Dr... Can you get any confermation if that signal went thru.. and yes Dr... I think the Transwarp jump has effected me a little

Taevin Marat: Heh captain.. I think I have a friend on the com.

Agent Strangelove straitens his unifrom "Is it the Enterprise?

Fenrix Murakami: Sir, I believe the transwarp didnt' have anything to do with the side effects. I'm fairly sure it had to have been that object messing with our shielding.

Asphyxia Lemieux: Aye Captain, the signal was jammed before it had a chance to relay to its target."

Agent Strangelove: Thank the rings of Saturn...

Agent Strangelove nods "Thank you Lt

Asphyxia Lemieux stands at attention

 Riker: Captain, heard you ran into a little trouble. Everything allright?

Agent Strangelove stands up and doesn't look so tired "It's good to see you Captian..... Yes we did. The Borg...."

Asphyxia Lemieux quietly and nondesriptly runs a tricorder scan of the Captain

Riker gets that shocked yet sceptical tone of voice, "The Borg?! In this sector?"

Agent Strangelove: We are able to make it to Star base 9 on our own power and have sustained minimal damage... But Captain Riker yes.. I'm afriad so.

Riker: -gives a command- Red alert Lt., astrometrics deep scan the area for borg signitures.

Riker, "Is your crew allright? were showing some damage to yoru ship. We tried to come you, but recieved no answer.

Agent Strangelove nods "Captain we will require your escort... They were after this ship specificaly.... The crew is all right

Agent Strangelove: Dr would you send all the data you recived on that borg ship to the Enterprize please. They may find something we may miss.

Asphyxia Lemieux: Aye Captain, right away

Agent Strangelove: They must have been jamming us as well....

Asphyxia Lemieux pads over to the console and transmits the data to the Enterprise


Asphyxia Lemieux: Sent Captain

Agent Strangelove: You should be getting the data Captian...

Riker nods slightly, "Helm set a cource for Starbase nine, com hail them and and notify them of our situation, and to prepare to recieve the Moreau."

Agent Strangelove: Thank you Captian.... 'and sighs softly "Not even on our first mission with the new ship and we are already in the thick of things.

Fenrix Murakami chuckles softly. "Wait until we start taking this ship out much further than 300 light years. Gonna get very interesting, very fast.."

Riker looks over, then nods, "Were reciving. Ill have our science team send you what they can find on our end, in case we miss anything.", he gives a grin to Agent after he says that, "You survived and defeated a borg incursion, not a bad day for having a whip crew, fresh out of drydock."< he smiles, "I've done worse myself. Excellent work. Now lets get through this. We'll guide you in."

  Riker looks back, as Data adresses him, "NO borg signatres detected within astrometrics range."

Agent Strangelove winks and grins right back Thank you Captian.. and no offence to the Enterpise... She's the finest crew I have ever had the privlage to serve with"

Asphyxia Lemieux sighs with relief knowing there are no more Borg in the area

Riker: Looks like you have a fine crew yourself Captain. Riker out."


Agent Strangelove chuckles "Whip crew, ha... fresh out of dry dock. Good job folks..... WE did a great thing today. I need to send a message to Star Fleet Command.... I'll be in my ready room.... Prep the ship for docking at the Star Base...

Asphyxia Lemieux: I still feel a littl uneasy knowing that we could have had the transwarp device removed from this ship. It would have ultimately ended in tragedy had it been succesful.

Agent Strangelove: Agreed Dr. We got lucky. Is there anything else?

Taevin Marat taps a few controls, "Captain, I feel teh need to point something out."

Fenrix Murakami: Well, aside from the one bulkhead they displaced, we had no damage in the battle.

Agent Strangelove: Go ahead Mr. Marat

Taevin Marat: Sneaky sorts of tactics aren't particularly the Borg's forte.."< he looks down at teh panel for a second, "I viewed Janeways adress to starfleet command abut the borg.."

Taevin Marat: Mentioned something about... some detachment of a borg collective in the delta quadrant, and it rings of this sort of.. mish mash of technologies.

Taevin Marat: If we can aquire some debri, have the Lt check it out.

Agent Strangelove nods

Asphyxia Lemieux agrees with Marat's assessment of the Borg not practicing sneaky tactics, but wonders who or what else would try and steal the transwarp while in use

Agent Strangelove: We can't risk this ship anymore... We will have to send the Enterprise to do it for us.... Unless Star Fleet command says other wise... I feel we may get a very large escort back to Sol...

Taevin Marat nods to Asphyxia, "Well they tried to steal a vital component while in transwarp, that would have been such a massive shock to the systems..", he thrums his fingers on teh console"

Fenrix Murakami: Sounds good Captain. I'd love a chance to tear apart some more alien technolgoy.

Taevin Marat: If theyd have got the entire eps network, we'd have had been toast."

Agent Strangelove: Prepare a report for me Mr. Marat... I want it on my desk with in two hours of your theory so I can inform Star Fleet of it. AS of know though we have to go by what we have seen and we must traet it like a borg incodent.

Fenrix Murakami nods, "The transwarp conduit would've probably collapsed around us. If our power systems didn't destroy us, taht would have."

Agent Strangelove: Send word to the Enterprise after we are safely inside of the Star base....

Taevin Marat phews and rubs the console, "If this ship blew up, I'd have been happy to bite it with it... this would have destroyed me anyways if something like that happened."

Taevin Marat nods, "Aye Sir."

Agent Strangelove looks very tired all the sudden and looks over his shoulder at his ready room "Corilate with the Enterprise for recovery of any debree.

Taevin Marat nods, "Transmitting, confirmed."

Agent Strangelove: I'll be in my ready room, inform me when we have docked
