=^= Jen to Ranger. I’ve contacted marine Colonel Georgio to begin rotating rest periods for the marines. Gamma shift would be coming on normally though Alpha shift by now is exhausted given that it was almost 22:00 when this event began. I would defer the implementation of this to the CMO as she has the latest stats on injuries and how this is best done. Do you concur? =^=
- Jen

=/\= Agreed, Commander. This doesn’t seem like a problem that’s going to be solved immediately. =/\= Katelyn’s voice paused as she gave an exasperated sigh of frustration. =/\= Let me know once we have some information from the computer core. I’m just boarding the craft now and then we’ll figure out how to best utilize what we have here to supplement the ship. =/\=

Eleanor sighed softly. At the mention of the word ‘rest’ she realized how tired she actually was, but with the adrenaline currently pumping her body, there was no way she was going anywhere. Not to mention… no one was piloting her ship, and she really wanted to be the one to take the party outside.

Finally noticing that both Commanding Officer and Chief of Security were still standing in the middle of her cockpit, Carnegie shot the Fleeters a tired smile. “I’m sorry… where are my manners. Please, feel free to take your favorite station. That one is Sensor Ops…” Eleanor motioned to the one on the right side. “… and that one is Engineering.” She said motioning to the one on the left. “In case we do take off and you don’t feel comfortable manning one of them, I can move them to my panel.” The Marine paused to catch her breath before saying proudly. “I am used to fly the Lady all by myself, so it’s nothing I haven’t done before. Just be aware… There’s a pair of glasses somewhere under one of the consoles. I dropped them earlier. They look like one of those old twentieth century Earth ones… Let me know if you happen to find them. My brother will kill me if I ask him for another pair and I would much rather not have to live through that experience.”

Katelyn listened to Carnegie as she slid into the engineering station. It wasn’t her strong suit, but she’d flown this type of craft before and she was familiar with at least the basics required to operate it. The Chief of Security’s disappearing form left the two women alone as she pondered the display in front of her. “I wonder if there’s a way we can beam the shuttle out.” She paused to contemplate it a bit more, her fingers moving over the console to look at the various power requirements and capabilities in the craft. “High warp and all that’s an issue, but we could divert all power to the safety systems to protect us… what do you think?” She glanced at Carnegie.

Noticing the woman’s choice of station, Carnegie tapped a few commands and brought the Sensor Ops controls to her console. Turning to face the Captain as she spoke, Eleanor’s wide eyes almost made her eyebrows jump out of her forehead. “Wait… with all due respect, Ma’am… are you suggesting beaming this whole vessel outside?” For a moment she wondered if it was a good idea to let Jacobs sit at the Engineering station. “I…” Carnegie babbled. “How do you suggest we do that? Unless of course, I misunderstood what you meant…”

High warp transports were rare and highly difficult, usually when two ships are going at the same ‘relative’ speed. The fact that the ship wasn’t moving made transport through a warp bubble feasible, but through the ship shield still was impossible.

He turned back to the captain’s transmission. =^= Captain, I have confirmation that the chief engineer has made it through to the computer core, as well as a second group from another deck. My voice authorization gained them entry via the comms. =^=

Katelyn resisted the urge to let out a hoot of relief, but the excitement was still clearly visible on her face.

=/\= Fantastic, Commander. Hopefully she can figure out what’s going on with the ship. Keep me informed. We’re troubleshooting how to get this craft out of the launch bay with the warp bubble. I’ll let you know when we come up with something solid, but it would be a good start to get the shields dropped. I have a plan if we can do that. =/\=

Jacobs, CO

OOC: Oops, I just noticed that I split this accidentally, but I think it’ll work out anyway. :P

=^= Captain, the ships’ sensors operate well even with the shields up. Normally at any rate. If you can crack the doors can the Ranger not scan through without endangering your shuttle? =^= There was some concern in his voice. =^= I’ll update you as I find out more =^=
Jen

The recon bird was capable of scanning through the shields… the initial scan was that there was ‘normal’ space outside the shield and the warp bubble. The shield was consistent with a normal projection… the warp field was at an unusual ‘frequency’ that appeared to be almost if there was two frequency waves merging at the same time thus doubling the normal amplitude. .

GM

Shuttle? Where they really calling the Lady of Steel a shuttle? She was so done with these Fleeters and their ignorance…!

As the transmissions came through, Eleanor tapped her console lightly, almost as if she was petting her vessel. “Don’t listen to them. They don’t know what they are saying. You’re much better than those standard Starfleet shuttles. Pay them no mind.” The words came in a whisper, making it possible, yet very hard for the Chimera’s Captain to hear.

When she felt she was not interrupting the comm calls between the carrier’s Command team, Carnegie spoke again. “The hangar bay doors are open, Captain. That’s why we can pick up the warp bubble and the force field. Now… I am not sure…” Eleanor’s voice trailed off as she tapped her console, trying to figure out whether it was possible to pinpoint whether the forcefield they were picking up was the one generated by the Chimera’s shields, or by something else.

Finally, examining the force field and the warp bubble again, Eleanor noticed the unusual aspect of the frequency of both fields around the large carrier. “This is… weird.. The amplitude of the warp field is twice what it should be… almost as if there are two fields superimposed…” She commented out loud. Tapping yet more commands, Carnegie tried to use the Ranger’s powerful sensor suite to make a better image of the warp field outside.
