MISSION PROLOGUE: The U.S.S. Aventura has set course for the star identified as Elorrena. As the modified Defiant Class vessel makes her way towards Elorrena, the crew wonder about the where-abouts of the U.S.S. Idun. Have they really vanished, slipped into another dimension?  Is that even possible...or could the U.S.S. Idun just be hiding, laying in wait for their pursuers? Only time will tell it seems. As the group known as PRISM struggles to prepare for the unexpected, they will soon find there is much more to being a team, being a family, then any preparation can give. That sort of trust, those bonds take time... and adversity. They will be granted both...

Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::walks onto the bridge, and looks around, wondering what today will bring::
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::looks up from his console as he half-turns to address the CO:: CO: 10 Minutes to the Elorrena system, sir.
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::still at the bridge in her assigned station, looking over reports::
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::stands at the aft table with the DCO, reviewing the information they have on Elorrena::
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::in the turbolift, heading up to the bridge, humming to himself softly::
SO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Sitting at his console, he looks at the sensor readings::
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
::walks onto the bridge holding a medical kit full of hyposprays::
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
::gets up from his console and hands the CO a report PADD:: CO: You wanted a report from the SO and myself....well, here you are, sir.
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::wonders why the IO has crumbs around his mouth::
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
AS: Thank you Mr. Kizlev.  ::looks over the report::
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::is peripherally aware of Durron on the bridge, but turns his attention to his console again::
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::steps off the turbolift, and takes a quick look around...:: CO: Captain. ::nods, as he walks past, towards the DCO and the IO at the niche in the back::
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
XO: Good Morning Baranaphelion.
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CP: Thank you.
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
CO: It's what our complete tactical abilities are as opposed to the ship we are looking for. I have some recommendations in case you require them. ::goes back to his console::
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::licks his lips unconsciously in concentration, then becomes suddenly aware he still has remnants of his breakfast on his face and wipes away the bits of the bacon::
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::quickly turns around, his hands clasped behind his back, and gives the CO a cheerful smile:: CO: Good morning, sir. ::nods again::
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::sighs slightly::
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
AS: It's very thorough.  Thank you.
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
::Glances around the bridge than walks over to the captain::
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CM: Yes?
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
::nods to the CO and turns back to his tactical scans::
SO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Turns around in his chair:: CO: Captain.. Sensor data from the star system, sir.... Class A star, seven planets, none M-class...
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::takes a drink from the mug of raktajino sitting on the table and smiles::
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
CO: I've finished inoculating most of the crew...just the bridge crew left.
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::continues his trek to the back... and glances at the work that's been done already:: IO/DCO: Good morning, gentlemen.
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: I have a short summary on the Elorrena system. Its uncolonized but there used to be a mining colony in one of the moons and a terraforming project dating from before the Dominion War
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: But that has been abandoned
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::looks:: XO: Morning! How are you feeling?
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
SO: No M-Class planets?  I guess that rules out the possibility of them hiding on a populated world...  any places they could hide?
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::calls up the evasives programmed for the ship and shakes his head:: Self: No, no, no, no. This will not do. This ship is capable of much more. ::Starts programming his own evasive maneuvers to augment the current set::
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CM: Carry on....  you've already done me.
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::smiles:: IO: Well, I was going to ask you that question. DCO/IO: Report, what have you uncovered so far?
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
::overhears the CP and decides to discretely transfer his own customized set of evasives to Roznine's console::
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
::Nods::  CO: Yes sir.
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::spots the additional evasives popping up on his console and checks them through::
LtCmdr_Marla_Enki says:
::Carries on with her quick meal before heading to the Bridge::
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
SO/CO: I would say the abandoned facilities are a good place to start looking
SO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Takes another look on his sensor readings, but is waiting for a more detailed scan to be finished:: CO: Sweeping, sir..
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
::picks up the first hypospray, checks it and looks around for potential victims:: CO: I'd like to start with you, sir.
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Listens to the DCO and SO::
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::looks up:: CO: They mined dilithium there ... quite valuable for an organization like theirs
SO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Listens to what Gomes has to say::
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
CO: A terraforming colony... ::shakes head:: DCO/SO: Why was it abandoned?
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
::not facing the CP:: CP: Stick to their ventral side in a fight. You'd be surprised how many there are out there with two-dimensional thinking...
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::smiles as he spots the differences in style, but nods approvingly at a maneuver he didn't consider:: AS: Thank you. Lt.
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
DCO: Looks promising.  I assume you've read over Lt Cmdr Enki's Report on the possibility of them having moved to another universe?
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
AS: Any other tidbits you'd like to share? I do have your skin in my hands...
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
::doesn't wait for the CO's acknowledgement but quickly applies the Hypo, injects a small dose than walks up to the CP:: CP: I need to give you an inoculation against the delta band radiation.
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
XO/CO/SO: It was abandoned when the war started. probably it was just lack of resources to continue the project. And probably aided by the fact that the project leader committed suicide
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
::nods:: CP: 'Tis the least I can do to aid our survival. I only hope we're not flying into a trap.
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::looks up at Durron, and tilts his head to the side:: CM: I'm all yours... I do believe I still have to make a visit to sickbay for a physical?
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: Yes Captain, my only problem with that is, we can not really follow them. Can we?
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
CP: That would be a good thing, Thank you.. ::quickly applies the Hypo and injects a small dose than heads for the AS::
SO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Feels his stomach lurch as he hears the terms 'other' and 'universe' named right after each other::
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::rotates his shoulders a moment and answers Kizlev:: AS: Thanks, I'll use that information for sure.
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
::swallows, looking nervous at the approaching CM and the hypospray:: CM: I've since corrected the problem with the radiation leakage. Is that necessary?
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
AS: I need to give you an inoculation against the delta band radiation we were exposed to.
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
*Enki*: Do we have any way of following the Idun into the other universe?
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
AS: Captain's orders.
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
::sighs:: CM: Very well....
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::glances over at the IO:: IO: Is this your... second cup? ::turns back to face the CO:: CO: The other universe... :;is fascinated by this talk::
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
AS: This won't hurt ::applies the hypo and injects the AS than smiles::
LtCmdr_Marla_Enki says:
::Taps her commbadge between bites::  *CO*: Captain...
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
XO: Second? Of course not, this my fifth! ::takes another drink, smiles, then continues pulling up information on the Elorrena system::
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
::feels the injection and is instantly reminded of all the meds he used to get for his post-war stress syndrome::
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
SO:I have read of this universe. It would be an interesting endeavor to study it further

ACTION - The U.S.S. Aventura comes to the edge of the Elorrena system and the vessel rocks as it comes out of subspace. As they do, sensors flash, detecting a massive distortion near the star Elorrena.

DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::frowns as the ship rocks::
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::Taps controls and disengages the SPD:: XO: Sir, we're entering the system now. ::reports to him since Lessing is busy::
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
::antennae twitch as the memories surface and vanish:: CM: Thank you...
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::grabs the closest handrail::
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::frowns, an amused look on his face:: IO: Okay, why don't you... just put together all the information you have, and- God! ::grabs the console, as the ship lurches:: CP: What just happened?
LtCmdr_Marla_Enki says:
*CO*: I was thinking about how we could easily follow the Idun, and I think this ship provides a key to the doorway
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::grabs onto the table, holding his balance::
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
SO: Scan that distortion.
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::grabs hold of his console and compensates for the disruption::
SO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Glances to the back of the bridge where the DCO is:: DCO: Which universe? The Nacandarian one? ::Grabs his console as the ship starts rocking::
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::glances over one of the science consoles, curious::
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
*Enki*: The subspace pulse drive?
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
::starts back to the rear of the bridge and than grabs onto the bulkhead::
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
XO: Just poring through what we have available, sir.
SO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Turns back to his console and goes to work, scanning for whatever it was that made them rock like that::
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CO: That's going to happen every time we terminate the subspace pulse drive? I think I'm going to be sick... CO:  I suggest we raise shields, if we're to stay in the system, so close to this distortion, sir.
LtCmdr_Marla_Enki says:
::Nods, then realizes that can't be seen through the commbadge::  *CO*: Specialized modifications to the field geometry should allow us to recreate the effect that the Idun used to pass through dimensions.
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
XO: We should be at yellow alert, so shields should be up.  If not, raise them
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
XO: That would be the distortion near the star and not the drive.
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::wonders if this could be the answer about the Idun's disappearance::
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
CO: There's lots of interference, but I don't detect any ships nearby. SO: Natural phenomenon perhaps?
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::looks over at Jackson to concur::
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::gets a hunch, then compares the last known location of the Idun to the focus of the distortions::

ACTION - The Aventura rocks once more before it's inertial dampeners compensate...the rocking ceases.

AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
XO: Shields already active, sir, and holding.
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
AS: Thank you.
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::nods, and walks to a nearby console, raising the shields to full power:: AS: Excellent. Keep a close eye on them, in case this distortion interferes with their functioning.
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
AS: I somehow doubt its a natural phenomenon, not when it occurred so close to the Idun's last known location.
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::mutters a little as the IDF kicks in a moment or three too late::
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
XO: Aye, sir.
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
XO: Speak to someone in engineering about the IDF's response time, please.

ACTION - Sensors identify the distortions as massive gravity shifts within the fabric of space...as if there were a massive gravity well present near the star Elorrena.

IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::mutters to himself:: Self: Well, that didn't work..
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
*Enki*: Thank you.
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
::blinks and gathers himself than walks over to the DCO::DCO: I need to give you a delta radiation inoculation, ma'am.
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::looks over preliminary sensor output:: Self: a black hole?
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
CO: Oh, I will, sir... ::feels his stomach starting to settle as he turns to glance at the viewscreen::
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::reads his sensor readings:: CO: I suggest we stop about here, for now, sir.
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
All: Any news on what's causing those disruptions?
SO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Looks at his console as data is being displayed, shaking his head::
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
*Engineering*: Folks, that wasn't acceptable... this is the last time that will happen, this issue with the IDF and the SPD falling out of sync like so... fix it!
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
CO: I'd be willing to bet it isn't natural.. we'd have seen it coming if it was.
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
::glances at the viewer than at the DCO and at the IO, SO and XO who he still has to inoculate::
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
Self: Peculiar.... ::warily eyes the incoming data:: CO: I'm now picking up evidence of what seems to be...phaser fire near the distortion, but I'm not 100% sure...
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
All: Is it possible this is our gateway?
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
IO: I agree.  But that doesn't help.  I need facts please.
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::slows the ship down before they fly head first into that gravity well::
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
XO: Sure looks like one, wormholes are known for such gravimetric distortions
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CP: Hold our distance from that gravity well.
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
CO: Already on it, sir. Holding position.
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CP: Thank you.
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
::applies the hypo to the DCO's neck and injects the inoculation than quickly steps over to the IO:: IO: I'm sure you've heard me once or twice by now.
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
XO: It could be something of similar nature to Dominion weapon signatures. I've seen it many times before, but that is only conjecture.
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::nods and tilts his head away from the CM:: CM: Looks like I'm next.
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
::sticks the hypo on the IO's neck, injects him and moves on to the SO::
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::is startled by the CM, but doesn't have time to complain:: Self: Doctors! That's why I stay away from sickbay
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
CM: I hope my coffee won't interfere with things.
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
AS: Dominion signatures? ::looks to the CO:: Which side of the singularity?
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
*Enki*: Commander Enki, report to the bridge please.
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::chuckles and lowers his voice so that only the DCO will hear:: DCO: Always poking and prodding and sticking you with things, eh?
SO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Still looking at his console, he doesn't notice the CM approaching him::
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
XO: Checking....the far side it would appear.
LtCmdr_Marla_Enki says:
::Sighs as she takes the last bite of her sandwich::  *CO*: On my way.
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
SO: I need to inoculate you against the delta band radiation. IO: How much coffee have you had?
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
*Enki*: Thank you.
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::looks into his mug:: CM: I'm coming up on cup number six for the day. I'm averaging one an hour. ::takes another mouthful::
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Listens to the confusion around him:: All: Will everyone please stop jumping to conclusions, and give me some facts, so that I can make a decision.
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::turns slightly:: CO: Sir, did I hear Cmdr. Enki correctly when she said we'd need some specialized modifications to move between dimensions?

ACTION - The Aventura rocks once more as the gravity fields shift.  It looks like whatever sort of distortion is out there, it's fading...

SO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Looks around at the medic, then tilts his head to the side:: CM: If you must.... ::Sighs, as he tries to read the data in this position::
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CP: You did yes.  She should be up here soon.
LtCmdr_Marla_Enki says:
::Places her tray in the recycler and walks the short distance to the Bridge.  When there, she looks around and takes an assessment of the situation::
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
::antennae stand on-end, startled by the CO's sudden frustration::
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
IO: Consider yourself cut...::Staggers and grips the bulkhead:: IO...cut off. No more coffee for you.
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
CO: Whatever it is, we need to act fast; it's fading.
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::feels the ship rock again::
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
::quickly applies the hypo to the SO:: SO: Thank you.
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::raises an eyebrow at the CO's outburst... and makes a mental note:: CO: According to Lt. Kizlev, he's detecting weapons fire on the fire side... we need to act.
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
IO: And do what? Its only a subspace distortion
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
All: That distortion is fading, and we still know next to nothing about it.
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
AS: What kind of weapons fire?
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
CO/XO: Recommend we begin a cautious approach to learn more...
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
DCO: If it's how the Idun left, we'd need to follow them through before it becomes impossible to.
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::looks at the CM frustrated and takes the last mouthful of the strong coffee:: Self: Spoilsport.
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
IO: How soon until the anomaly fades to nothingness?
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
CO: Similar to energy waves exhibited by Dominion warships and some Starfleet vessels.
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
AS: Concur.  CP: Move us toward the phenomenon Mr. Roznine.  Slowly.  All: Continue scanning.  Maximum resolution.  ::Is not happy, scowls a little::
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
::makes his way to the XO:: XO: You know what I have to do.
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::Starts the ship forward at a relative snail's pace::
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
XO: Minutes.
LtCmdr_Marla_Enki says:
::Moves towards the front of the Bridge, taking the station she usually works with, and checks the readings of the distortion::
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::sighs:: CM: Whatever you say, sir. ::tilts his head to allow the CM to do his work::
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::taps his console:: XO: Two of them.
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CP: Distance to Phenomenon?
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
::quickly applies the hypospray, injects the XO and gets out of everyone's way, retreats to his spot in the back::
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::pulls up all data from the phenomenon. she is a CSO after all::
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
::closes up the medical kit and brings up a sensor display to try and figure out what is going on::
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::scratches her head, these things rarely give out much information::
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
::cross-references the energy signatures with that of the Breen polaron variety::
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
DCO: You're  a science officer.  Tell me about that... thing.  ::Gestures to the screen::  CP: Bring us to within 50 000 km's please.
SO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Still looking at his sensor data, not sure what to make from it::
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::leans over to the CO and whispers in his ear:: CO: Power down weapons, sir. ::stands up again:: CO: Little less than two minutes for us to make a decision, before it fades away, sir.
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::glances sideways to a readout:: CO: 5 billion kilometers and closing slowly... ::was about to add something:: Aye, sir. ::takes the ship closer at full impulse::
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::begins to see a pattern forming:: XO: I have an theory ....
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
AS: power down weapons, we might need the power.  But keep them ready for action.

ACTION - The Aventura shudders a bit as they approach the unusual gravity well...

AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
CO: Aye, sir. Weapons on standby... ::hits the appropriate keys on his console::
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
::grips his table, closes his eyes for a moment and bites his tongue::
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
DCO: Yes? Out with it, then.
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::taps a few controls:: CO: Compensating for the gravity distortions.
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
XO: Based on what I read about these phenomenons. Subspace and gravimetric distortions are often side effects of actual singularities or perhaps wormholes. This is fading away simply because the door was closed
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::winces, as the captain gives the order to the AS... a good action, to be sure, but not exactly what Baranephelion was trying to intend...::
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CP: Thank you Mr. Roznine.  All: Report!
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
XO: But its only a theory
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
DCO / Enki: How do we re-open the door, without going through?
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
CO: Coming up on 50 000kms from the distortions.
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
::looks towards the rear table:: DCO: Would it disrupt anything if we tried a tachyon burst near or around the gravimetric singularity?
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
::brings up the internal sensor display checking for possible radiation leaks::

ACTION - The rocking slows, as the Aventura comes to a halt near the distortions. On the viewscreen, the intense light of the Elorrena A star can be seen...they are now within 0.2 AUs of the star.

DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
AS: If the "door" is closed. it would only help disperse the effects. If its opened ...who knows. Depends on the nature of the phenomenon.  But ... why would you want to do that?
LtCmdr_Marla_Enki says:
::Shakes her head as she looks at the DCO::  CO: I don't believe that's possible.  If this is a singularity, time and space are distorted... our warp field, as I theorize, will reopen the rift, but out ship will be squeezing it open ourselves... we can't open and look, we can only go through.
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
::shrugs:: DCO: A hunch I suppose. Would you suspect that our prey may be using a cloaking device?
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
DCO: I'd like to know what's there.  XO: I heard someone mention a Class O planet.  ANy information on that?
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CO: As would I Commander
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
CO: Fifth planet, 97 per cent of the surface is water. A few islands, but nothing much about it.
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
AS: If there was a vessel still there, I believe we would be able to see it as a distortion in the gravimetric distortions. If you know what I mean ...
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
IO: Thank you.
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::opens his mouth to speak, but then the IO speaks for him...:: IO/CO: Yes, precisely.
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::realizes that he wasn't being spoken to and winces, cursing at himself::
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
DCO: Yes....that or a possible phased neutrino emission of some sort. Perhaps I'm just being too paranoid. ::turns back to his scans::
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
CO: The mining colony is there... I should think that some answers to few of our questions may be found there as well, sir?
SO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Listens to all the scientific talk, the whole thing not making much sense to him::
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Looks at his console, and access the scans of the area himself::
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::smiles to the AS:: AS: That is good in outline of business. As for the neutrinos, given gravity is distorted, all particles are probably sucked in or scattered. in such a way we can not detect them
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::watches the CO curiously, wondering if he's trying to verify what everyone's saying or something...:: CO: Sir?
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::suddenly turns to the SO as if she just had an idea:: SO: Would you hide a ship in a subspace distortion?
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
Enki: Thank you.  CP: Reopen the rift, and take us through.  All: Red alert.
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::moves up to his assigned station, getting the feeling this going to be a bumpy ride::
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
::activates Red Alert and powers up weapons::
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
CO: Aye sir. ::looks at Enki:: Enki: Those modifications you spoke of?
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
DCO: Agreed. ::smiles, wondering why he couldn't have the DCO as his science professor at the Academy::
LtCmdr_Marla_Enki says:
::Moves to the CP's console::
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::looks up at the Captain:: Self: Open the rift? we can do that?
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::watches Enki approach and understands::
SO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Turns his attention back to his console as the captain orders to go through the rift after all and orders the Red Alert. He reaches for the place the button would be, but finds a different command there::
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::shrugs, and migrates back to the engineering console:: CO: Sir, recommend siphoning extra power to the structural integrity fields as we enter.
LtCmdr_Marla_Enki says:
CP: We need to alter the geometry of our warp field... thusly... ::pulls up an idealized schematic of a ship's warp field on the console::
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
::settles himself in the seat and grips the table::
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
XO: Concur.  CP: Do it.  ::More Quietly:: XO: Thank you for your recommendation, Commander, and If we had the time, I would investigate it.  But unfortunately, we don't.
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::looks at the schematic and starts to smile:: Enki: Ingenious. You want to program it, or should I just keep adjusting manually?
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::monitors what Enki is doing::
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::out of his own curiosity, instructs the computer to record the warp geometry Enki's displaying::
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::nods graciously to the CO:: CO: Why do I get the feeling we're passing through the gates of Hell... structural integrity boosted... ::he looks forward, and sees Enki offering the CP schematics on entering... where did she get that from?::
LtCmdr_Marla_Enki says:
CP: I suppose it shall be easier for me to perform the modifications... excuse me for a moment.  ::Uses his console to make several adjustments to the speed limits and direction, then moves to her own console, pausing to think every so often::
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
XO: To be honest, I feel the same way.  ::very quietly::
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
::watches the main viewer his mind elsewhere::
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
XO: Hell? Please don't tell me you believe such a myth exists in reality when it already exists in the mind.
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::smiles:: AS: It's only a figure of speech, lieutenant.
LtCmdr_Marla_Enki says:
::Alters the field geometry to flatten out a little here, extend a little here... and makes several modifications to the deflector frequencies::  CP/XO: We should be ready momentarily....
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::looks up:: AS: What is reality? ::looks back down::
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
::nods:: XO: Humans and their figures of speech never cease to amaze. ::smirks and straightens himself getting ready for anything::
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
Enki: If you're done here... ::trails off as she walks over to her console:: I'll just wait until you tell me to hit the gas.
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
AS: Too bad I'm not human. ::laughs:: But you could say I'm very Earth-washed. A symptom of having lived on Earth for most of my teen years. ::looks to Enki, then to the CO::
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CP: Engage when ready.
LtCmdr_Marla_Enki says:
::One more... change...::  CP: There.  All: All set.  Prepare yourselves....
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
DCO: It is something meant to be shaped by the bold.....and perhaps the foolish. ::glares at the viewscreen::
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::finds himself wishing for a seatbelt, but grabs onto his console in preparation::
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
All: Hold onto your hats ladies... we're going for a ride! ::engages the warp engines and holds on::
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods slightly considering what Kizlev said. Then smiles::
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Sits back in his chair, making sure he won't fall out.::
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
::mutters quietly:: Self: Into the jaws of death, into the mouth of hell...
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
*All Hands*: Brace yourselves, we're going in. ::grabs onto his console::
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::caught off-guard by the CP's statement, lets go of his concentration at, in all probability, the worst possible moment to do so::
LtCmdr_Marla_Enki says:
*Engineering*: Engineering, watch the core's containment and power levels... if they drop... ::lets the statement trail off::
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::looks up at the viewscreen:: All: To death or another universe. Either way a new environment to explore
SO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Takes hold of his console and takes a deep breath::
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::hears Enki:: Enki: Probably not a good idea, huh?

ACTION - The Subspace Pulse Drive activates, and the crew can hear a loud boom as each pulse charges and is released. The scanners before Gomes light up as she detects the same gravimetric shifts, and suddenly a bright purple light floods over Gomes and the rest of the crew...

AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
::grips the edges of his console tightly::
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
Self: Oh Sh.....
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Watches the viewscreen closely::

ACTION - The ship rocks and red alert klaxons go off as the gravity sheer increases dramatically. Then, as soon as it begins, the light fades, and the crew find themselves in a planetary system with seven planets, and a Class-A star...but this time something is different...

DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::tries to make sense of the environment around her, after the light. looks down at the console::
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::about to whoop loudly when the scene changes:: Self: I was expecting a little more.
LtCmdr_Marla_Enki says:
::Pulls up the sensors and runs complete scans... smiling slightly::

ACTION - On the viewscreen, the crew of the U.S.S. Aventura see a debris field, thousands of kilometers wide...a star ship grave-yard...

XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::as soon as the shock passes, and the viewscreen is presenting a radically different view, he looks around, his eyes wide:: CP: Where are we?
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::falls out of his seat as the ship rocks, landing flat on his tailbone::
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Waits for the CP to answer the XO::
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::wonders if the Idun is one of those ships in tatters::
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
::pulls up a display of the internal sensors and scans it for signs of radiation::
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
CO: That was... mildly unsettling. ::checks his console to see if the ship suffered any damage::
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::gets up and looks at the viewscreen with awe:: Self: Oh my God...
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::rolls the ship to one side to avoid hitting some of the larger debris:: XO: We're not in Kansas anymore, sir. Checking sensor readings now.
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Looks at the view-screen and stands in shock, eyes wide::
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
::takes a deep breath and glances at the master situation monitor:: XO: A few of our shields arcs have been weakened, but overall they are holding for now.
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
All: I guess we were lucky, so far
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::blinks:: Self: We're... not in Kansas... anymore... my cousin lives in Kansas.
SO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Immediately after the rocking stops, he checks his console for sensor data, and a confirmation of their location::
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
XO: Looks like we made it through without being exposed to anything lethal.
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::sits down gingerly and tries to find any evidence of a Starfleet presence in this universe::
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::sighs:: CO: Well, according to our efficient bridge crew... we're still alive and in one piece. ::smiles::
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
XO: Do we have identities for any of those ships?
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::brings the ship to a halt and checks the star charts:: XO/CO: According to readings we're still in the Elorrena system... the charts match almost perfectly.
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
XO: It looks like we were lucky...  or very very good.
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
XO: I'm detecting those weapon signatures again. Distance 300,000 kilometers from our present position.
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
CO: We'll look into it. ::turns to the AS and IO:: AS/IO: Scan the debris field, look for any identification markers.
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
XO/CO: these ship grave yard as it seems appears to be hundreds of years old
SO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
XO/CO: Confirmed sir... My sensor data shows we're in almost the exact same spot as when we went through the anomaly..
CM_Cmdr_Durron says:
::checks with sickbay to see if anyone reported serious injuries::
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
XO: Aye sir. ::attempts to identify the ships before them::
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Sits down again, listening to the reports coming in from the crew::
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::feels a slightly creepy feeling scuttling up his neck::
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
XO/CO: Thousands of ships, hundreds of years. I would say we bumped into a regular passage way
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
::keys in the coordinates of the energy activity and feeds them to the conn and CO's chair::
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Looks at the data from the AS:: AS: Weapons fire again?
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
XO: Most of these ships seem bear the designation ASV. For example, the ASV Callisto. ::highlights the Callisto on the main viewscreen::
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
All: At least they use our alphabet. We might recognize a few things here
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
Self: ASV... ASV... CO/IO: What's ASV?
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::starts plotting a course to the location the AS pointed out, knowing he'll have to do a lot of it manually through the debris field::
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
CO: That's correct. I have the location transferred into the helm.
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
XO: No idea. The best I can come up with is "Allied Star Vehicle", perhaps. They're rather different configurations.

ACTION - The viewscreen zooms in on the A.S.V. Callisto, a battered vessel which seems to hang in space. The vessel resembles a damaged New Orleans class cruiser, but with much different markings and engine design...

DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
SO: I suppose no life signs anywhere?
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
XO: I could guess....  Alliance Space Vehicle?  CP: You said the charts match almost perfectly.  What is different?
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::looks at the Callisto:: All: She looks like the Huron, but not. The engines and markings make it look more alien.
Host CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
All: That's a New Orleans vessel.  Are we reading life signs on any of these ships?
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
AS: What of the weapons fire you indicated earlier? Any signs of retreating vessels in the area?
SO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Shakes his head:: DCO: Negative, sensors aren't showing life signs..
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
CO: It's... astonishing, how different it is here.
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
XO: But here's the bad news: We're alone. There's no evidence of Starfleet in this universe.
DCO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::hopes the CO listened to that; nods to the SO::
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
CO: Sir... there are a few stars missing. Trill, Iconia, Gamma Tauri to name a few.
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
::brings up a sector grid on a large general monitor above his console which shows the Aventura in relative position to the energy occurrences:: XO: It does not appear so. The frequency of energy discharge could probably indicate a fierce firefight in progress.

ACTION - The U.S.S. Aventura hangs in space, in this unusual Elorrena Star System. As the crew begins to adjust to their transition, they begin to wonder...where is the Idun, and what caused those weapon signatures...and what does ASV really stand for? They will find out in time...always time...
