21:02 CaptMcCloud: Captain's Log, Stardate 65684.54 (09/07/2388, 13:00 hours)

21:03 CaptMcCloud: We have had a week layover at Starbase 173, after giving a ride to Ensign Styles and Cadet Darz. The more delicate sensors of the starbase have picked up a ship, now drifting into Federation space. The station has attempted to contact the ship, but have had no luck. They have asked us if we could take a ride out and look, before we leave the area.
=/\= BEGIN SIM =/\=

21:05 Moonshadows: TAC>::Running a check on her systems, tweaks the targeting sensors just a bit::

21:05 Dr_Compton: CMO> ::back aboard the ship after helping out in sickbay at the SB::

21:05 Cmdr_Jorel: xo> :: on the bridge at her station, reading over some reports::

21:06 CaptMcCloud: CO >[ HELM ] Mr. Vanik. You should have the coordinates, by now. Set course, Warp 5.

21:06 Moonshadows: TAC>[CO] All Tactical systems checked, and are optimal sir... Shields, targeting computers, torpedos, and phase weapons

21:07 Ltjg_Wren: Ops> ::at her station on the bridge, scanning all frequencies for any sign of communication coming from the ship::

21:07 Lt_Hart: HELM >[ CO ] Aye, sir. ::Sets course:: Engaging impulse to move away from the starbase, sir.

21:08 CaptMcCloud: CO >[ SCI ] Mr. Banning, you should also have the coordinates. Anything on our long range scan?

21:09 LtjgBanning: SCI >[ CO ] Not as of yet, sir.

21:09 LtCmdrVanik: HELM> :: once away from the station, engages warp engines::

21:11 Moonshadows: TAC>::Switches modes on sensors, starts scanning 360 degrees spherical for hostiles::

21:11 CaptMcCloud: =/\=ACTION: It takes about 15 minutes at Warp 5, but we come into the area where the ship is floating. =/\=

21:11 LtCmdrVanik: HELM >[ CO ] We're approaching the coordinates, Captain.

21:12 CaptMcCloud: CO >[ HELM ] Slow to one-half impulse.

21:12 Moonshadows: TAC>::bends a sensor or two on the drifting ship:: [CO] No signs of weapons activity from target sir

21:12 LtjgBanning: SCI> :: starts scanning::

21:13 Ltjg_Wren: Ops > :: scans all known frequencies:: Any ID on the make of the ship? would help in limiting the frequencies they might be using

21:14 Moonshadows: TAC>[OPS] Scanning into tactical files on known classes of ship, relaying to your board

21:15 CaptMcCloud: =/\=ACTION: The science and tactical scanners now see a large ship, traveling just above the speed of sound. The ship is easily three times larger than a Sovereign-class ship, and has no weaponry evident. Life signs are inconclusive. =/\=

21:15 ACTION: ::the ship is of unknown origin, and there are no comm signals eminating from it.

21:16 LtjgBanning: SCI> I have it on scanners, Sir. :: goes over the details just outlined::

21:16 CaptMcCloud: CO >[ SCI ] So, it's not really drifting?

21:17 LtjgBanning: SCI >[ CO ] No, sir. It is traveling under power, if it stays on this course, though, it will fly right into Starbase 173.

21:18 Moonshadows: TAC>[ALL] Tracking contact, bearing 127 Mk II, course is... 334 Mk V sir, straight for the base, confirmed

21:18 Moonshadows: TAC>::WIshes her sensor array was as good as SCI and OPS::

21:18 CaptMcCloud: CO >[ HELM ] Match course and speed, Mr. Vanik. [OPS] Lt. Wren. Hail them.

21:19 LtjgBanning: SCI > :: Puts the ship onscreen::

21:19 Ltjg_Wren: Ops >[ CO ] Aye Sir :: hails the ship on multiple frequencies::

21:20 LtCmdrVanik: HELM >[ CO ] Aye, sir. ::brings the ship into a parallel course, and matches speed::

21:21 ACTION: ::OPS receives no response::

21:22 Moonshadows: TAC>::Feeds the data on the contact into the targeting computers to keep in practice::

21:22 CaptMcCloud: CO> :: looks at the ship:: Very non-descript design.

21:22 LtCmdrVanik: HELM >[ NOIP ] Looks like a flying box.

21:23 Moonshadows: TAC>[CO] No referent in my files

21:23 Lt_Hart: CENG> :: enters the bridge, and glances to the viewscreen::

21:24 CaptMcCloud: CO >[ SCI ] And no life signs, Mr. Banning?

21:24 LtjgBanning: SCI >[ CO ] I am not seeing any, sir.

21:25 Cmdr_Jorel: xo> :: looks at the craft, wondering where it came from [sci] Can we tell where the ship came from?

21:26 Moonshadows: TAC>[CO] Lightly armed, sir, no weapons powered... I evaluate as no threat

21:26 LtjgBanning: SCI >[ XO ] I could try and trace back its course to the nearest known-inhabited planet, sir, but that would all be dependent on it staying on a straight course.

21:27 CaptMcCloud: CO >[ SCI ] What about interior environment?

21:28 Cmdr_Jorel: xo >[ sci ] It would be a start

21:29 LtjgBanning: SCI> :: Nods to the XO he will get started:: [ CO ] It is showing as having an atmosphere that will support our life, and a gravity, sir.

21:29 Moonshadows: TAC>::Her tail begins to wave in agitation, she is not happy with mysteries::

21:30 Lt_Hart: CENG> :: croses to Banning's station and looks at his findings:: Atomic reaction powered engines? They're traveling at their top speed.

21:31 Moonshadows: TAC>CENG> Nuclear power? It takes a lot of fortitude for someone to venture out on the star lanes with that

21:31 LtjgBanning: SCI > :: nods to the CENG :: Yes, sir. From initial starchart calculations, this ship has been traveling as long as thirty years.

21:32 LtjgBanning: SCI> And that's assuming that I am looking at the right planet for a source of origin.

21:34 Lt_Hart: CENG> :: nods:: Yeah... yeah, you're about right on that, Troy.

21:34 Moonshadows: TAC>::She checks her sensors::[CO] No ships in close proximity, no hostiles detected sir ::Remembering her job::

21:35 CaptMcCloud: CO >[ TAC ] Thank you, Lt.

21:35 CaptMcCloud: CO > ;; looks to the XO:: Guess there is only one way to find out what is up with that ship.

21:36 Cmdr_Jorel: xo >[ CO ] take a team over?

21:36 Moonshadows: TAC>::Ears perk up::

21:36 CaptMcCloud: CO >[ XO ] ::Nods:: Choose 'em up.

21:38 Cmdr_Jorel: xo >[ Tac ] Moon meet me in TR1 +CMO / CEng+ Doc, Lt. Hart, meet me in TR1.

21:39 Moonshadows: TAC>::Thumps her tail on the deck::[XO] Aye! Armed party, COmmander?

21:39 Dr_Compton: CMO +XO+ On my way Commander.

21:39 Lt_Hart: CENG > :: Chuckles as he turns away from Banning's console:: On my way, Commander.

21:40 Moonshadows: TAC?::Turns TAC station over to a relief, heads for the TR::

21:40 Cmdr_Jorel: xo >[ tac ] Standard procedure for beaming aboard an unknown ship into an unknown situation.

21:40 Dr_Compton: CMO> ::grabs her medikit and let's Fenway know she's leaving:: [AMO] Heading out for an away team...take care of sickbay.

21:41 DrFenway: AMO> Very good, Daisy.

21:41 Dr_Compton: CMO> ::smiles at Core pleasantly::

21:42 Moonshadows: TAC>::On reaching the TR, she goes to a locker, dons an weapons belt and checks the old stile filament pistol she favors, makes sure she has all her magazine pouches full... straps on a tricorder::

21:42 Cmdr_Jorel: xo> :: heads to the TL and then to TR1 ::

21:43 Dr_Compton: CMO> ::arrives in TR1::

21:43 Lt_Hart: CENG> :: arriving in TR1, grabs a hand phaser::

21:43 Lt_Hart: CENG> :: also has his tricorder::

21:44 Dr_Compton: CMO> [CENG] Do you know what the situation is?

21:44 Cmdr_Jorel: xo >[ AT ] we don't know what we're going to find over there, but we don't want to appear hostile either.

21:44 Lt_Hart: CENG> :: tucks his phaser::

21:44 Dr_Compton: CMO> ::acknowledges the XO's comment.:: TNOIP> I'll take a phaser anyway if you don't mind.

21:45 Dr_Compton: CMO> ::takes a phaser from the weapons locker and secures it::

21:45 Cmdr_Jorel: xo >[ at ] everyone should have a phaser, set to stun

21:45 Lt_Hart: CENG>::Nods:: Ready.

21:46 Moonshadows: TAC>[XO] No life signs... but I cannot help appearing like the furry monster from transporter dimension sir... ::Exchanges the filament pistol for a phaser, tail coiled in laughter::

21:46 Lt_Hart: CENG >[ CMO ] All I know is we have a large ship, traveling about Mach 1, towards Starbase 173.

21:47 Cmdr_Jorel: xo> :: steps up on the transporter pad [at] all aboard::

21:47 Lt_Hart: CENG> :: joins the XO on the transporter pad::

21:47 Moonshadows: TAC>::Steps up, coils her tail around her waist::

21:47 Dr_Compton: CMO> ::steps up::

21:48 CaptMcCloud: =/\=ACTION: The team beams to the ship. The first thing that hits them as they re-appear on the ship is the warm rays of bright sunshine. =/\=

21:48 Cmdr_Jorel: @ xo> ::blinks in the bright light, trying to readjust::

21:49 Moonshadows: @TAC>::Uncoils her taiul, snaps it twice::[NOIP] Bright... warm... pleasant

21:49 AWAY AXN: :: They seem to be standing in the middle of an open field. Off in the distance a forest can be seen. To the rear of them, water, as far as they can see.::

21:49 Dr_Compton: CMO> Wow!

21:49 Lt_Hart: @ What th'... ? :: Looks around:: We did beam onto the ship didn't we?

21:50 Dr_Compton: CMO>[AT] if I didn't know better I'd think we were planetside somewhere....

21:50 Moonshadows: @TAC>[AT] Now all we need is a charging dire beast... This is to nice to inspire confidence

21:50 ACTION: :: Lt. Wren suddenly loses any lock on the comm-badges::

21:50 Dr_Compton: @CMO> ::breaks out her medical tricorder and scans for life signs::

21:51 Lt_Hart: @ CENG> :: starts scanning::

21:51 Ltjg_Wren: Ops >[ CO ] Captain, I've lost a lock on the away team!

21:51 Dr_Compton: @ CMO> ::doesn't know what a dire beast is but doesn't like the sound of one charging the group::

21:51 Moonshadows: TAC>::SHe tilts her head back, sniffs the air... listens, ears swiveling...::

21:51 AWAY AXN: :: Daisy does get a positive, for life signs, but they seem very far off in the direction of the forest.::

21:52 Dr_Compton: ((Moon has her own specialized "sensor suite" LOL))

21:52 Dr_Compton: @CMO>[XO] Commander, life signs...far away in that direction. ::gestures towards the wooded area::

21:52 AWAY AXN: :: Moon doesn't smell anything unusual, but the scents are similar to those on her homeworld.::

21:54 Moonshadows: @TAC>[AT] It smells... familiar... I scent nithing I would classify as dangerous,... but... I have decided I don not like it

21:54 AWAY AXN: ::Hart's scans show that the area is a VERY sophisticated holo-gram. If he hadn't been scanning so vehemently it would have just appeared as a real world.::

21:54 Cmdr_Jorel: @xo [cmo] Let's head in that direction then

21:54 CaptMcCloud: CO >[ OPS ] :: turns to her quickly:: Try and raise them.

21:55 Lt_Hart: @ CENG> :: scans, and readjusts, then scans again:: We're in.... or on... a holo-deck.

21:55 Dr_Compton: @CMO> ::follows Jorel continuing to monitor the location of the life signs and trying to determine more about them::

21:55 Ltjg_Wren: Ops >[ CO ] Aye sir :: attempts to hail the AT::

21:56 AWAY AXN: :: Jorel's communicator beeps, but the signal is very weak, and definitely not enough to get a lock on.::

21:56 Dr_Compton: @CMO> ::eyes widen at CENG's remark::

21:57 Moonshadows: @TAC>::Follows along, looking in all directions, still sniffing::

21:57 Lt_Hart: @ CENG> I tell you what.... this is easily ten times better than our holo-technology.

21:58 Cmdr_Jorel: @xo > :: hears the comm beep and taps it:: Jorel here

21:59 CaptMcCloud: CO >+[ XO ]+ ::Barely audible:: Commander, what's going on over there?

21:59 Moonshadows: @TAC>::Tail starts waving again::

22:01 Cmdr_Jorel: @ xo> +CO+ Captain, I can barely hear you. We transported over to what looks like a planet, with sunlight, and a forest. Lt. Hart is saying that it's holo-technology, much better then our own.

22:02 CaptMcCloud: CO >+[ XO ]+ ::talking loudly:: Acknowledged. See what you can find out. We have lost the transport lock on you, but are working to reacquire. Keep in touch.

21:03 CaptMcCloud: People having issues tonight?

21:04 CaptMcCloud: Anyhow....

21:04 CaptMcCloud: Captain's Log, supplemental
We have come across a ship that is on a collision course with Starbase 173. I have an away team over on the ship, but we have lost our transporter lock on them. We were able to contact them. but the signal was very poor. I guess the fotrunate thing in all this, is the ship is not going to impact with the station for another week. So... we have time.
=/\= BEGIN SIM =/\=

21:07 Dr_Compton: @CMO> ::trekking toward the lifesigns they have detected, tricorder out and attempting to ascertain exactly what KIND of life it is....::

21:07 Lt_Hart: @ CENG> :: still taking readings with his tricorder::

21:08 LtjgBanning: SCI> :: trying to find a reason for the loss of signal of the away team.::

21:08 Moonshadows: @TAC>::She walks along, swiveling her head, sniffing and listening, rests a hand on the butt of the old style filament pistols she favors... Wishing for a spear::

21:09 Cmdr_Jorel: @ xo> :: Looking around, still heading towards the trees.:: Anyone have more information on the lifesigns?

21:10 LtCmdrVanik: :: maintaining course and speed with the ship::

21:10 Dr_Compton: @CMO>[XO] I still don't know exactly what type of life we're headed for....my best guess is higher order primate....could be humanoid....or not.

21:10 Dr_Compton: @CMO>[XO] But that's highly conjectural sir.

21:11 Moonshadows: @TAC>[XO>] No game trail or scent of animals... I hear only the breeze and smell nothing dangerous - yet

21:11 CaptMcCloud: =/\=ACTION: Daisy's readings are now showing the life forms are humanoid. =/\=

21:11 ACTION: :: Moon suddenly catches the scent of a small game animal, similar to a Terran rabbit.::

21:12 Dr_Compton: @CMO> ::looks pleased:: Yes! Finally something concrete! [XO] The lifesigns are definitely reading humanoid Commander

21:12 CaptMcCloud: CO >[ OPS ] Lt. Wren? Any luck with re-establishing signal locks with the away team?

21:12 Moonshadows: @TAC>::Snuffs, casting her head back and forth::[XO] Scent! Rodential similarity. That way ::Points::

21:13 Ltjg_Wren1: Ops >[ CO ] Neg Captain. Not yet.

21:14 Lt_Hart: @ CENG> :: Mutters:: The complexity of these holograms is.... amazing.

21:14 Cmdr_Jorel: @ xo >[ tac ] well, let's go introduce ourselves

21:14 ACTION: :: Daisy's sensors also detect that the trees they are headed for are not holograms::

21:15 CaptMcCloud: CO >[ OPS ] Keep trying.

21:15 Dr_Compton: @CMO[XO] I'm trying to get an idea of how many there are out there. Hey! These trees....they're real...not holographic!

21:15 Moonshadows: @TAC>::Tail corkscrews in laughter::[XO] I hope I do no scare them

21:16 Dr_Compton: @CMO>[TAC] For all we know I might scare them. We have no way of telling their exact nature....must be interference from the holo emitters

21:17 CaptMcCloud: =/\=ACTION: The ship actually increases in speed, to just below one-quarter impulse. The away team feels a slight tremor as the ship's inertial dampners try to compensate. =/\=

21:17 Moonshadows: @TAC>[CMO] I am very furry and pettable ::Tail loops::

21:18 Cmdr_Jorel: @ xo >[ all ] What was that?

21:18 Dr_Compton: @CMO> Whoa! I don't know.....my stomach didn't like it though.

21:18 Lt_Hart: @ CENG> It felt like an earth tremor, but.... ::looks at his tricorder:: It was from the inertial dampeners.

21:19 Moonshadows: @TAC> NOIP> Acceleration? This changes the parameters

21:19 Ltjg_Wren1: Ops >[ CO ] I will keep trying until I get a lock Captain. And that ship has sped up to just below 1/4 impusle

21:19 LtCmdrVanik: HELM > :: sees the ship take off:: Captain. The ship has just increased it's speed. :: adjusts the Eagle's speed to catch up to it.::

21:20 CaptMcCloud: CO >[ OPS ] Thank you, Lt. [ HELM ] Don't let them get away, Mr. Vanik.

21:21 LtCmdrVanik: HELM >[ CO ] I won't sir.

21:22 Dr_Compton: ((LOL Y'all so funny))

21:22 ACTION: :: Daisy's sensors show there are over a thousand humanoids about one hundred meters ahead::

21:23 Dr_Compton: @CMO>[XO] Commander...I'm finally close enough for a number. There seems to be an enclave of about 1000 humanoids some one hundred meters ahead.

21:23 Lt_Hart: @ CENG >[ TAC ] Yeah, depending on how much faster we're going it could dramatically cut the time the ship will impact with the starbase.

21:23 Cmdr_Jorel: @ xo >[ cmo ] well, let's hope they are friendly

21:23 Moonshadows: @TAC>[ALL] Head up, ears swivelling::I smell... people? Faintly hear vocies

21:23 Dr_Compton: @CMO>[XO] I suggest we approach slowly and as inconspicuously as possible sir?

21:24 ACTION: :: As the team gets nearer, they also start to hear the shouts of children at play. Odors of food being prepared over a fire can be detected.::

21:25 Cmdr_Jorel: @ xo >[ cmo ] I don't think slowly is the best option

21:25 Dr_Compton: @CMO>[TNOIP] We are almost there.

21:25 Moonshadows: @TAC>[NOIP] Cook fires... food... strange scent

21:26 CaptMcCloud: =/\=ACTION: The team is suddenly spotted by some of the children. They start pointing and shouting. At first, the UT cannot make out what they are saying =/\=

21:27 CaptMcCloud: CO >[ SCI ] HOw has the speed increase effected the time to impact, Mr. Banning?

21:27 Cmdr_Jorel: @ xo >[ cmo ] and I think inconspicuously is out the window as well

21:27 LtjgBanning: SCI >[ CO ] We are now down to two days, captain.

21:28 Dr_Compton: @CMO>[XO] Seems that way....

21:28 CaptMcCloud: CO >[ OPS ] Wren. Try and raise the AT again.

21:29 Moonshadows: @TAC>::As the humanoids spot her, she removes her hand from the butt of the filament pistol::

21:29 Dr_Compton: @CMO> ::walks over to one of the children and crouches down to her level:: [CHILD] Hello, my name is Daisy, what's your name.

We continue to match course and speed with an unknown ship on a sure-collision course with Starbase 173 The away team is still undetectable by our sensors, as well as the inhabitants of the station, which the away team has discovered. If we cannot find a way to adjust the course of this ship, we will have no choice but to try and get the inhabitants off the ship, and destroy it.

21:51 Bot: @ Man2 >[ Boy ] Tunnie! No one comes from the sky.

21:51 Cmdr_Jorel: @ xo >[ man2 ] :: looks at Hart and then to the boy:: Yes, from the wall. [man] How far is the wall?

21:51 Moonshadows: @TAC>[Boy} I am afraid I cannot give you an answer to that that mnakes sense

21:52 Moonshadows: @TAC>[Boy] ::Tail curling:: That is a question for Commander Jorel

21:53 Bot: @ Man2 >[ Man ] Maybe they came from the Great South Wall.

21:53 Lt_Hart: @ CENG >[ Man2 ] Yes. We are journeying to the Great North Wall. How much further is it?

21:54 Bot: @ Man> :: Looks skeptical:: It is almost a full day's journey from here.

21:52 Cmdr_Jorel: @ xo >+[ co ]+ the people in the village seem to be more primative. They think they are on a planet. They have no idea about a ship or machine technology. We are heading to what they call "The Great Wall." I'm suspecting that it's the outer boundaries of the ship. I'm hoping we can find some sort of console at the wall

21:52 LtjgBanning: # SCI> if there is a hatch, Commander, It is well hidden.

21:53 Cmdr_Jorel: @ xo >+[ co ]+ although, it's now starting to get really cold, and from what I can hear from our guide, this is not typical. I'm hoping that it doesn't get much colder, but I think that's wishful thinking. Any chance that you've gotten a transporter lock on us?

21:54 CaptMcCloud: CO >+[ XO ]+ Very good. Vanik and Banning are trying to faind a manaual hatch, but have been at it for hours now, so it is unlikely they will find one.

22:03 Cmdr_Jorel: @ xo >+[ co ]+ It took about an hour to get to the village, and we have been walking for about 4 more hours. Probably 5 km/hr, so we're talking about 25 kms or so

21:02	CaptMcCloud:	Captain's Log, Stardate 65684.54 (09/07/2388, 13:00 hours)
21:03	CaptMcCloud:	We have had a week layover at Starbase 173, after giving a ride to Ensign Styles and Cadet Darz. The more delicate sensors of the starbase have picked up a ship, now drifting into Federation space. The station has attempted to contact the ship, but have had no luck. They have asked us if we could take a ride out and look, before we leave the area. =/\= BEGIN SIM =/\=
21:05	Moonshadows:	TAC>::Running a check on her systems, tweaks the targeting sensors just a bit::
21:05	Dr_Compton:	CMO> ::back aboard the ship after helping out in sickbay at the SB::
21:05	Cmdr_Jorel:	xo> :: on the bridge at her station, reading over some reports::
21:06	CaptMcCloud:	CO >[ HELM ] Mr. Vanik. You should have the coordinates, by now. Set course, Warp 5.
21:06	Moonshadows:	TAC>[CO] All Tactical systems checked, and are optimal sir... Shields, targeting computers, torpedos, and phase weapons
21:07	Ltjg_Wren:	Ops> ::at her station on the bridge, scanning all frequencies for any sign of communication coming from the ship::
21:07	Lt_Hart:	HELM >[ CO ] Aye, sir. ::Sets course:: Engaging impulse to move away from the starbase, sir.
21:08	CaptMcCloud:	CO >[ SCI ] Mr. Banning, you should also have the coordinates. Anything on our long range scan?
21:09	LtjgBanning:	SCI >[ CO ] Not as of yet, sir.
21:09	LtCmdrVanik:	HELM> :: once away from the station, engages warp engines::
21:11	Moonshadows:	TAC>::Switches modes on sensors, starts scanning 360 degrees spherical for hostiles::
21:11	CaptMcCloud:	=/\=ACTION: It takes about 15 minutes at Warp 5, but we come into the area where the ship is floating. =/\=
21:11	LtCmdrVanik:	HELM >[ CO ] We're approaching the coordinates, Captain.
21:12	CaptMcCloud:	CO >[ HELM ] Slow to one-half impulse.
21:12	Moonshadows:	TAC>::bends a sensor or two on the drifting ship:: [CO] No signs of weapons activity from target sir
21:12	LtjgBanning:	SCI> :: starts scanning::
21:13	Ltjg_Wren:	Ops > :: scans all known frequencies:: Any ID on the make of the ship? would help in limiting the frequencies they might be using
21:14	Moonshadows:	TAC>[OPS] Scanning into tactical files on known classes of ship, relaying to your board
21:15	CaptMcCloud:	=/\=ACTION: The science and tactical scanners now see a large ship, traveling just above the speed of sound. The ship is easily three times larger than a Sovereign-class ship, and has no weaponry evident. Life signs are inconclusive. =/\=
21:15	ACTION:	::the ship is of unknown origin, and there are no comm signals eminating from it.
21:16	LtjgBanning:	SCI> I have it on scanners, Sir. :: goes over the details just outlined::
21:16	CaptMcCloud:	CO >[ SCI ] So, it's not really drifting?
21:17	LtjgBanning:	SCI >[ CO ] No, sir. It is traveling under power, if it stays on this course, though, it will fly right into Starbase 173.
21:18	Moonshadows:	TAC>[ALL] Tracking contact, bearing 127 Mk II, course is... 334 Mk V sir, straight for the base, confirmed
21:18	Moonshadows:	TAC>::WIshes her sensor array was as good as SCI and OPS::
21:18	CaptMcCloud:	CO >[ HELM ] Match course and speed, Mr. Vanik. [OPS] Lt. Wren. Hail them.
21:19	LtjgBanning:	SCI > :: Puts the ship onscreen::
21:19	Ltjg_Wren:	Ops >[ CO ] Aye Sir :: hails the ship on multiple frequencies::
21:20	LtCmdrVanik:	HELM >[ CO ] Aye, sir. ::brings the ship into a parallel course, and matches speed::
21:21	ACTION:	::OPS receives no response::
21:22	Moonshadows:	TAC>::Feeds the data on the contact into the targeting computers to keep in practice::
21:22	CaptMcCloud:	CO> :: looks at the ship:: Very non-descript design.
21:22	LtCmdrVanik:	HELM >[ NOIP ] Looks like a flying box.
21:23	Moonshadows:	TAC>[CO] No referent in my files
21:23	Lt_Hart:	CENG> :: enters the bridge, and glances to the viewscreen::
21:24	CaptMcCloud:	CO >[ SCI ] And no life signs, Mr. Banning?
21:24	LtjgBanning:	SCI >[ CO ] I am not seeing any, sir.
21:25	Cmdr_Jorel:	xo> :: looks at the craft, wondering where it came from [sci] Can we tell where the ship came from?
21:26	Moonshadows:	TAC>[CO] Lightly armed, sir, no weapons powered... I evaluate as no threat
21:26	LtjgBanning:	SCI >[ XO ] I could try and trace back its course to the nearest known-inhabited planet, sir, but that would all be dependent on it staying on a straight course.
21:27	CaptMcCloud:	CO >[ SCI ] What about interior environment?
21:28	Cmdr_Jorel:	xo >[ sci ] It would be a start
21:29	LtjgBanning:	SCI> :: Nods to the XO he will get started:: [ CO ] It is showing as having an atmosphere that will support our life, and a gravity, sir.
21:29	Moonshadows:	TAC>::Her tail begins to wave in agitation, she is not happy with mysteries::
21:30	Lt_Hart:	CENG> :: croses to Banning's station and looks at his findings:: Atomic reaction powered engines? They're traveling at their top speed.
21:31	Moonshadows:	TAC>CENG> Nuclear power? It takes a lot of fortitude for someone to venture out on the star lanes with that
21:31	LtjgBanning:	SCI > :: nods to the CENG :: Yes, sir. From initial starchart calculations, this ship has been traveling as long as thirty years.
21:32	LtjgBanning:	SCI> And that's assuming that I am looking at the right planet for a source of origin.
21:34	Lt_Hart:	CENG> :: nods:: Yeah... yeah, you're about right on that, Troy.
21:34	Moonshadows:	TAC>::She checks her sensors::[CO] No ships in close proximity, no hostiles detected sir ::Remembering her job::
21:35	CaptMcCloud:	CO >[ TAC ] Thank you, Lt.
21:35	CaptMcCloud:	CO > ;; looks to the XO:: Guess there is only one way to find out what is up with that ship.
21:36	Cmdr_Jorel:	xo >[ CO ] take a team over?
21:36	Moonshadows:	TAC>::Ears perk up::
21:36	CaptMcCloud:	CO >[ XO ] ::Nods:: Choose 'em up.
21:38	Cmdr_Jorel:	xo >[ Tac ] Moon meet me in TR1 +CMO / CEng+ Doc, Lt. Hart, meet me in TR1.
21:39	Moonshadows:	TAC>::Thumps her tail on the deck::[XO] Aye! Armed party, COmmander?
21:39	Dr_Compton:	CMO +XO+ On my way Commander.
21:39	Lt_Hart:	CENG > :: Chuckles as he turns away from Banning's console:: On my way, Commander.
21:40	Moonshadows:	TAC?::Turns TAC station over to a relief, heads for the TR::

21:40	Dr_Compton:	CMO> ::grabs her medikit and let's Fenway know she's leaving:: [AMO] Heading out for an away team...take care of sickbay.
21:41	DrFenway:	AMO> Very good, Daisy.
21:41	Dr_Compton:	CMO> ::smiles at Core pleasantly::
21:42	Moonshadows:	TAC>::On reaching the TR, she goes to a locker, dons an weapons belt and checks the old stile filament pistol she favors, makes sure she has all her magazine pouches full... straps on a tricorder::
21:42	Cmdr_Jorel:	xo> :: heads to the TL and then to TR1 ::
21:43	Dr_Compton:	CMO> ::arrives in TR1::
21:43	Lt_Hart:	CENG> :: arriving in TR1, grabs a hand phaser::
21:43	Lt_Hart:	CENG> :: also has his tricorder::
21:44	Dr_Compton:	CMO> [CENG] Do you know what the situation is?
21:44	Cmdr_Jorel:	xo >[ AT ] we don't know what we're going to find over there, but we don't want to appear hostile either.
21:44	Lt_Hart:	CENG> :: tucks his phaser::
21:44	Dr_Compton:	CMO> ::acknowledges the XO's comment.:: TNOIP> I'll take a phaser anyway if you don't mind.
21:45	Dr_Compton:	CMO> ::takes a phaser from the weapons locker and secures it::
21:45	Cmdr_Jorel:	xo >[ at ] everyone should have a phaser, set to stun
21:45	Lt_Hart:	CENG>::Nods:: Ready.
21:46	Moonshadows:	TAC>[XO] No life signs... but I cannot help appearing like the furry monster from transporter dimension sir... ::Exchanges the filament pistol for a phaser, tail coiled in laughter::
21:46	Lt_Hart:	CENG >[ CMO ] All I know is we have a large ship, traveling about Mach 1, towards Starbase 173.
21:47	Cmdr_Jorel:	xo> :: steps up on the transporter pad [at] all aboard::
21:47	Lt_Hart: CENG>	:: joins the XO on the transporter pad::
21:47	Moonshadows:	TAC>::Steps up, coils her tail around her waist::
