[9:10][DOIC]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*The STAR TREK: PROTECTOR theme begins to play...
[9:11][DOIC]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*The camera pans it it shows the Manta and then its crew, scurrying around the vessel as they prepare for the upcoming operation.
[9:11][DOIC]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*There is a sense of urgency and some level of tension on board as Marcus begins his opening log...
[9:13][DOIC]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Captain's log, supplemental. It would appear that the Pilgrim has found a potential site for the staging area the Tanausans intend to use to attack the rest of the Kirtascan worlds. Guess we..
[9:13][DOIC]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:pulled the straw that puts us on scouting duty of this trinary star system. We're preparing now. End log.
[9:14][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] Not sure I would say straw, sir...we are suited to the task
[9:14][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Worry about your own logs, Baker. How are the preparations going?
[9:14][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-shows no sense of urgency and works her console, carefully preparing her SIGINT and EWAR systems
[9:15][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:I fail to see the need to be snippy at Catherine sir
[9:15][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:*scanning, recording and analyzing any em signals received.
[9:16][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"I'm not being snippy, V'Tira," *he grumbled and adjusted his jacket.
[9:16][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:There is a degree of snip to your tone si
[9:16][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Bore whistled as he made sure the systems are up to task.
[9:16][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"There's about to be more if you don't drop it, V'Tira," *he snapped.
[9:16][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*t'lena did a few last minute checks of emergency response
[9:17][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-quirks at brow at his snippy response
[9:18][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] We are prepared for silent running...however, V'Tira I believe is working on making sure our ACCI alternative is secure
[9:18][DOIC2]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Dalby] What we're doing...this needs a fleet
[9:18][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Indeed I am. -nods as she works on her final series of tests on the alternative
[9:18][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He rubbed his temples lightly.
[9:19][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"As every other time.
[9:19][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"We'll make it.
[9:20][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"..I wonder if we could blow this star system up too?
[9:21][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Ms Tegan
[9:21][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"trinary star system sounds unstable..
[9:21][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"We're in Kirtascan space, Tegan. We're not blowing up anything that doesn't need to be blown up.
[9:21][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--looks at the doctor.-- "huh?
[9:21][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"Why blow up the whole system, when just the enemy fleet may be sitting in a cloud of hydrogen?
[9:21][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-quirks a brow and looks to Ezri- You mean like the Kzaris star you blew up
[9:22][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"They wont mind if it save them from the tannies.
[9:22][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Right now we are on reconasance
[9:22][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"exactly V'Tira.
[9:22][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:And if irecall you needed the enemy to be tryign to generate a wormhole to get that to work
[9:22][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] I think they might mind
[9:22][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"..i didn't mean right this minute doctor.
[9:22][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Well maybe if we had alittle Tri-Lithiu
[9:23][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"true...those were unique circumstances..
[9:23][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Bore shook his head as he listened to the bridge psychos.
[9:23][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-to Marcus- ACCI alternative has passed all the testing feasable si
[9:23][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"..well lets do the rcon work and maybe something useful will turn up.
[9:23][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:It should..wor
[9:24][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-nods to Ezri- Never give up..never surrender Ezr
[9:24][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Good work. Anything else keeping us here?
[9:25][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Not on my end si
[9:29][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"scinece is good to go sir.
[9:30][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"COMs array seems to be in fully functional state sir.
[9:39][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:To be hoenst this is a bold enough plan I don't mind saying i am rather surpised we are going for it. Captain T'pang is full of suprises
[9:40][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"It's going to take boldness to keep the remaining Kirtascan worlds free.
[9:41][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:I agree. And Its always better to be on the attack and by surprise than on the defensive
[9:43][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"..its about time we put them on the defensive for once.
[9:43][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-quirks a brow- It is indeed bold...we may end up trapped between two fleets..if that force around the command carrier moves in for support
[9:43][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"We'll havve to be quick, then," *he winked,
[9:44][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:If the force arround the command carrer were to attack in force with whatever might be in this nebula we do no thave enough ships to stop it anyway
[9:44][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Indee
[9:45][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:*Shay keeps her thoughts to herself, setting up algorythms to hold several tasks so she can concentrate on analysis.
[9:47][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-to Marcus- We are receiving a com from the Pilgrim...they require us to proceed when ready
[9:48][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:We should get underweigh maybe they guessed wrong
[9:48][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Well, if ther
[9:48][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:'s nothing else we need to do, we need to get moving. Take us in.
[9:50][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Weibe] Air si -lays in the course and gets the ship moving
[9:51][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--works on her console.-
[9:52][DOIC]V'Tira@Isis:The Manta comes about and launches into warp heading for KSS-203..which the hauntingly beautiful gas cloud around it begins to grow on their main veiwscreen
[9:52][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Right, people, the fartnoses are in there... get your game faces on.
[9:52][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"I wonder what that gas cloud is made of?
[9:53][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Curious..it does look like a casmic cloud mass..i can see how it was overlooked as a syste
[9:53][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Was it a hydrogen gas giant beign torn apart by the three stars
[9:53][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:=/\= "Ristovski, the gravitational forces at work here should be intense... you ready?
[9:53][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:=^= "Shored up the ship as much as possible. We'll try to keep 'er steady.
[9:54][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:=/\= "Very good. Let's kick ass.
[9:55][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:...the gravitic shear will be..most impressive once in system..
[9:55][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"That's what I just said, V'Tira.
[9:55][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:[Weibe] Cloak now si
[9:55][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Do it.
[9:55][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:*Premptively Shay straps in at her station.
[9:55][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-slight inhaled breath- snip...snip...sni
[9:55][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Would their comms even work in that
[9:55][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:[-The cloak is sngaged
[9:56][DOIC]V'Tira@Isis:-Well out from the system the Manta vanishes as she continues on her way
[9:57][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:I would assume they would find it very difficult without assistence of some kind Docto
[9:58][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"they may use comm relays and boosters.
[9:58][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"The Tanausans have access to some insane tech, I wouldn't put anything past them.
[9:58][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Given their nature this has been meticously planne
[9:59][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Some of this tech ...does seem beyond them
[9:59][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:I would imagine any force like this. Wouldn't risk any sort of detection
[9:59][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"We already know they got their wormhole stuff from other Apostates.
[9:59][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Stands to reason the rest falls into such catagor
[10:00][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-nods to T'lenas comment
[10:00][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:We are beginning to show signs of subsapce interference even this far ou
[10:00][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"I wonder if they are using microwormholes powered by the trinary stars for communicatoins. We tried that 40 years ago ish.
[10:00][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Yeah, well, we're gonna put our fist up their wormhole... the one on the behind...
[10:01][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Or just using runners
[10:01][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Courier vessels
[10:01][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Sometimes the lowest tech solution is hte best
[10:01][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Their prowlers are well suited..relaying through their marauder
[10:02][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Add their basic encyrptions and sucha hiding fleet can be easily overlooke
[10:02][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she looked on the flickering veiw screen
[10:02][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"I should be able to compensate for any interference in system, as long as we don't go in too deep.
[10:02][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:We might see such runers as simple patrol
[10:02][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"they would have to run back and forth between the command carrier, so they would have rather odd 'patrol' routes.
[10:02][DOIC6]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Aquila] Manta is ollf scope captain
[10:03][DOIC6]V'Tira@Isis:[Valkriss] and so it begin
[10:03][DOIC6]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:[T'Ghor] "Asteroids are lookin' good so far.
[10:03][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:if they stagger such approaches Ezri..
[10:04][DOIC6]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] --nods, staring at the screen.-- "understood..
[10:04][DOIC6]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Aquila] I had hope the yanda systems would be up to the task
[10:05][DOIC6]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Right, V'Tira they would do thier best to mix things up..but careful observations would uncover the truth.
[10:05][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Right, V'Tira they would do thier best to mix things up..but careful observations would uncover the truth.
[10:05][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:[Weibe] comingup on the outer edge of the system si
[10:05][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:I concur.
[10:06][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:if we were looking for fleets we did not know abou
[10:06][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:One has to admire such large scale planning and efficienc
[10:06][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:*Setting up an algorythm to analyse the stellar interferance for patterns, in order to create filters.
[10:07][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Shay send them to me as well please so we can keep the ACCI filters on par with your filters please
[10:08][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"As they form... will be an ongoing effort V.
[10:08][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-nods to her- I understand...the best we can do
[10:08][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Marcus stared at the viewscreen.
[10:08][DOIC6]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Ezri, what does the gravititic sheer look like
[10:09][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Ezri, what does the gravititic sheer look like
[10:09][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"..that is a strange question doc. gravity is invisible.
[10:10][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-almost smiles at that one
[10:10][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Is it
[10:10][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Hold on, I am still trying to clean up the interfernce.
[10:10][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i guess you can see its effects.
[10:10][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:I see a bunch of visibile gas clouds been pulled all over the place
[10:10][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*She smiled
[10:11][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:But more specifically im wondering where i'd be sitting to maximize hiding while also limitign the affect of the gravity on me
[10:11][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"...I remember in primary school we would map magnetic fields using iron filings.
[10:12][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Marcus shifted in his seat and tugged on his collar.
[10:13][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-quirks abrow- Still Marcus
[10:13][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Who else would I be?
[10:13][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"the gravitic shear in this system is going to be a monster.
[10:13][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:I shall reword my inquiry..are you still feeling unwell
[10:14][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"like a stellar nursery only with three seperate sources of tidal forces in close proximity.
[10:14][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"I'm still fine, V'Tira. Focus on what actually matters.
[10:14][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Has the doctor confirmed such
[10:14][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"probably be some pretty intense gavity waves.
[10:14][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Focus.
[10:15][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she glanced back at marcus
[10:15][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Okay so if the disease is gravity, find the spot where the symptoms are leas
[10:15][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"we will be alright as long as we don't try to approach the center.
[10:15][DOIC]V'Tira@Isis:The ship quakes some as Weibe lays the along the outer layer of the system..the rolling gas clouds swirl in rwctin to the turbulent forces that lay within the system
[10:15][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"
[10:16][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-eyes Marcus a moment
[10:16][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:[Weibe] We are here si
[10:16][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i will try to compute the spot where the emey fleet would be the safest to hide in.
[10:16][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Commence search.
[10:16][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--starts running her computations why monitoring the sensors.-
[10:17][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:[Weibe] Taking us inside then...-gulps as he slips them slowly within the gas clouds as not to disturb them as much as possible
[10:18][DOIC]V'Tira@Isis:-themain screen is soon filled withthe creepy clouds filtering the occsional static discharge
[10:18][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"This is what I was afraid of, sensor range is limited we will have to move in pretty deep to get a good look around.
[10:18][DOIC]V'Tira@Isis:-the ship quakes some as aminor gravitic riptide awahses over them
[10:19][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i recommend we move circle around the outer edge of the system, slowly spiraling in as we need to.
[10:19][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Make it so, Wiebe.
[10:20][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Dalby] Shields holding..interial stablizers holding..power draw still in the gree
[10:20][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:[Weibe] Aye sir..commencing search pattern alpha two fiv
[10:20][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:*Looking up from her work, she studies the captain a moment, concerned about his health.
[10:21][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Rig for dive
[10:21][DOIC]V'Tira@Isis:-the tiny unseen ship anngles into the clouds deeper....around them can be seen the diffused yet dim light of the three stars burning hot behind their gaseous curtain
[10:21][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she chuckled
[10:21][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Lets hope we got a deeper crush depth than the enemy
[10:21][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-again almost smiles at a comment
[10:22][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:I am showingno current signs of encoded transmission on Imperium frequencie
[10:22][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Also I am not sure what ever possesed humans to make submarines
[10:22][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:But it does make for a good holoprogram
[10:22][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:I find them preferable mysel
[10:23][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Right... Let's kleep it that way.
[10:23][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:I rather enjoy the Burt Lancaster/Clark Gable one..pre Eugencis war er
[10:23][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"unfortunately, my analysis for the 'sweet spot' that the enemey might be hiding in is only going to be an estimate. There is no close form solution for the three body problem in orbital mechanics...
[10:24][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"..i should be able to get a reasonable approximation using perterbation theory..
[10:24][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Just keep it up... if it was easy they wouldn't have picked this as their hidey hole.
[10:24][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Ezri
[10:24][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:What abotu the distance
[10:24][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"What's up doc?
[10:24][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Each of the stars is like similiar massed righ
[10:25][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:So The planet in the middles is getting torn apart because its slightly wobbling right
[10:25][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Theya re all reasonably close in mass.
[10:25][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Well is the cheat for a three body problem to take a WAG and plug it back in
[10:25][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Take your best shot and cheat the test
[10:25][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"right, it is probably wobbly because of an imbalance in stellar masses.
[10:26][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:But if you had engines
[10:26][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"I will of course take my best guess.
[10:26][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she leave sit open.
[10:27][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:[Weibe] -frowns some as he fightss his helm controls some- Coming up on a sizable mass out there...though we are still a distance from that massive gas gian
[10:27][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Right, the enemy ship have engines, so they likiy took their best guess and use their enigines to make up the difference.
[10:28][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:So think like a tanusuan
[10:28][DOIC]V'Tira@Isis:-the manta suddenly shakes mightly to the port and begins totumble
[10:28][DOIC]V'Tira@Isis:-agil rolls everybody
[10:28][DOIC]V'Tira@Isis:-the lights dim shipwide
[10:29][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*t'lena tries to brace herself against the console
[10:29][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-tries to do the same and ends up faceplanting into her console
[10:29][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-most of the brdge crew is tossed about
[10:30][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:[weibes] -tries to crawl back to his console- damnit that has to be a planet out there
[10:30][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Ezri gets toss from her seat, she is unhurt but looks at her chair like it just insulted her mother.-
[10:30][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-Weibe crawls into his seat and begins to fight to regain control
[10:30][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Well don't fly into it
[10:31][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"yeah lets not fly straight into it.
[10:31][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Marcus somehow stayed entirely immobile. Even his hair stayed in place.* "Then find it, fast!
[10:31][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--looks over at V'Tira-- "V'Tira are you okay?
[10:31][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:[Weibe] Was not my plan..0as he restablzies the ship- Has to be an ice gian
[10:32][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-stands once more, a trickle of green blood in the corner of her lips- I am fine Ezr
[10:32][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Bore stumbles around.* "Ah, damn!
[10:32][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--looks at V'Tira skeptically-- "you are bleeding.
[10:32][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:-the engieers all pick themselves back up off of the deck..no one is seriously injurned
[10:32][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she walks over to v'tira
[10:33][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*grabs her by the chin and checks her face visually
[10:33][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-to T'Lena- I think i cut my lip docto
[10:33][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--returns to her scanner duty, looking for the enemy fleet postion.-
[10:33][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Yes cut lip. Hold still
[10:33][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:*tightnes her staps just a little, and remains concentrated on work.
[10:33][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-does as instructed
[10:33][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she uses a dermal regin to fix the lip
[10:34][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:[Weibe] -settles the ship down
[10:34][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Thank yOu docto
[10:35][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:[Weibe] resuming course and commencing search pattern once mor
[10:35][DOIC2]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] Perhaps we could avoid the gravity field next time
[10:35][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] Perhaps we could avoid the gravity field next time
[10:35][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:[Weibe] Okay this is not as easy as it looks Ma'a
[10:35][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He just looked over at Baker.
[10:35][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*Cathy shrugs at Marcus.
[10:36][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-works with Shay to keep looking for any signs of encyprted transmissions
[10:37][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"because we are dealing with three stellar objects and a large planetary mass there is going to be multiple lagrange points, they could be hiding in one or more of them.
[10:38][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Exactly why they sent us ahead." *He fully unzipped his jacket.
[10:38][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i guess we willl have to check them all one by one.
[10:38][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:The doctor may be right on the use of runner statships..I am showing no signs of com relay bouy
[10:40][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Comm bouy wouldn't last that long out there
[10:40][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"the gas cloud is causing a lot more interference than I anticipated.
[10:40][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:without some kindof Unique tech..I agree Docto
[10:40][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:So then we have to find the likely corridor their ships would take
[10:41][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Clearly the path was not the one Mr Weibe was just o
[10:41][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"if we find their fleet we should be able to compute the safest route out of the system from that point.
[10:41][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Work backwards
[10:41][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Guess where you'd put the fleet then try to find the wya in
[10:41][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Ezri turns around backward in her chair-
[10:42][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"compute it, and mine it.
[10:42][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Ezri I meant..
[10:42][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Why...concentrate though? -tries to work the situation for deplyment out
[10:42][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:That would interfere with the attack group
[10:42][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:If they found a gravity point
[10:42][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"..oh right." --turns back around-- "..I knew that..
[10:43][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:where the forces null out it would allo them to hide for a long while
[10:43][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"if they had a lot of time to prepare it would not be too hard to find such a point.
[10:44][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"..take your best guess and then adjust your position from that best guess postion until you fall into the sweet spot.
[10:44][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Ezri...look for three equidistant or as close as you can to equidistant....basically gravic 'grottos'..
[10:45][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:the stars are the same mass basically yes
[10:45][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Reight V'Tira I have the computer calculating that now.
[10:45][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:the Imperium would split its forces amongst the
[10:46][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"...that seelm logical V'Tira it would be easier to fit the fleet in multiple spots than in one.
[10:48][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"But, if they are hiding in multiple spots they would also need couriers to coordinate the different parts of their fleet.
[10:48][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Such a three grotto system would produce the pathway for such runners as the doctor predicted as wel
[10:49][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:These Imperium officers have never faced a Romulan beofre I suppose
[10:49][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"..I am scanning for such a courier now...maybe a mouse will lead us to the cheese.
[10:50][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"we no jot there.
[10:51][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Is there anyway we could increase the resolution
[10:52][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"given the masses of the stellar objects..I can get an approximate idea where those three 'grottos' should be.
[10:52][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"maybe we can increase the resolution, but I would need some help with that. I have not had much luck with it so far.
[10:53][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Is the cloak interfering
[10:53][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"its always interfering, usually I can compensate.
[10:53][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:What if we dropped it for only a moment
[10:54][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Could they even see us out here with all the interference?
[10:54][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i am not sure that is a good idea.
[10:54][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:They have to be facign the same level of sensor issues we are in this
[10:54][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"if we can see them, they can see us..
[10:54][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"We just need to move in closer.
[10:55][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] It is a risk
[10:55][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"I am sending helm my estimate for the safest path in.
[10:55][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:We are cloaked..we do have a slight advantag
[10:56][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"This whole operation was a risk. But keep the cloak raised for now.
[10:57][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Wiebe] Received
[10:57][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Wiebe] Plotting course
[10:58][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Shay have you had much luck compensating for the inteference in here?
[10:59][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"Still trying... I'm sharing the database that has been formed so far, maybe that will help you.
[10:59][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"..I will check it out.
[11:00][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she whispers something to marcus
[11:00][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He leaned over to murmur in response.
[11:00][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she looks at him
[11:01][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she nodded in agreement
[11:02][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"..I think I can use this data Shay, It seems to help with my algorithm.
[11:03][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"...I will see it i get better resolution now.
[11:06][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i am getting better resolution now...but still nothing.
[11:07][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:The cloak is restricting to much
[11:08][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"V'Tira do we still have ACCI contact with the fleet.
[11:08][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-checks her contection
[11:09][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Indeed..the workaround i put in place is stil holding connection to the flee
[11:10][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Unless you have another idea, I say drop the cloak to strengthen our sensor capabilities.
[11:10][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--swivels around to look at Marcus.-- "Sir, what if we had the fleet fire off a probe close to this systems gas cloud? Close enough that the enemy could detect it, that could prompt them to .
[11:10][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:investigate. We would easily pick up the movement.
[11:10][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:That would tip our han
[11:10][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:The probe would have a detectable travel tim wouldn't i
[11:11][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:iNDEE
[11:11][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Indeed
[11:11][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:It would cause us to lose any iniative we might hav
[11:11][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-nods to T'Lena
[11:11][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:We are the probe. If there is nothing out there and we decloak nothing happens if theres oemthing, The [ilgrim will be bringing hell right after we contact her
[11:12][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"This is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
[11:12][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she looked at marcus for a descision.
[11:13][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He nodded.* "Drop the cloak. And hang on.
[11:13][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:...that will prompt a reactio
[11:14][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] Aye sir
[11:14][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"That's what I'm counting on.
[11:15][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"..like using a magnet to find the needle in haystack, droppiing the cloak will bring them toward us.
[11:16][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Ezri, Make the magnet big. One ping only
[11:16][DOIC]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*The Manta decloaks, revealing itself in the system.
[11:16][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Oh, so now we are gonna get shot at -and- try not to get ourselves torn open like an asshole on spring break.
[11:16][DOIC2]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Dalby] Must you
[11:16][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"hopefully a needle, and not a crossbow bolt
[11:17][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"right, pinging with the active sensor array.
[11:17][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"What - Try not to get the ship torn apart? Yeah, I kinda must.
[11:17][DOIC2]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Dalby] No, must you make such an analogy
[11:18][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"It was the first thing that came to mind.
[11:19][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"oh wow! its like a bunch of shiney little eyeballs just opened up out there. three battle groups worth.
[11:19][DOIC2]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Dalby] Maybe I need to get Nadine to knock that out of your mind
[11:19][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-nods- Dispersed to three grotto
[11:19][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Chuckles softly.
[11:19][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Send the signal... they'll be on us soon and we'll need the backup.
[11:19][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] We have them
[11:20][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--nods at V'Tira.-- "sending plot to tactical.
[11:20][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Hunkler] Received
[11:20][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:That's going to take some fancy flying, we need to scout the routes
[11:21][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-fires off an immediate and instant dispatch to the fleet..encoded and encrypted...'Coyote has found roadrunner...repeat coyote has found runner confirmed' ...;three cartoons...all same runing time'
[11:21][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Marcus We aren't done
[11:21][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Mesaage dispatche
[11:21][DOIC6]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Aquila] Maura status
[11:21][DOIC6]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:[Maura] "We have confirmed signals in the system, Lieutenant.
[11:22][DOIC6]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] --pacing back and forth.-- "they found the enemy fleet?
[11:22][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Who said we were done?
[11:22][DOIC6]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"...now comes the fun part...
[11:22][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"...now comes the fun part...
[11:22][DOIC6]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Aquila] Captain fleet reports awaiting your order
[11:23][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Gayle signal the fleet, we are going now. Helm set course.
[11:23][DOIC6]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:[T'Ghor] *Turns the asteroids on completely and hands control over to the yanda.
[11:23][DOIC6]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] "Gayle signal the fleet, we are going now. Helm set course.
[11:24][DOIC6]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:[Gayle] "Aye ma'am.
[11:24][DOIC6]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:[T'Pang] "Gayle signal the fleet to form up on us.
[11:24][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*t'lena went to sit down and strap in

[11:30][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Engage, helm.
