Mission 12: "When It Rains..."

[Morgan Freeman]

"Lets see, if we wanted it to be safe, why don't we just install some safe guards around the drive so that we don't have to worry about the ships safety.  If we isolate the drive and build a conduit buffer in between it and the rest of the Rivendell's power systems then we just open the buffer when we want to use the drive and close it again when we don't.  I could even add it to the jump drive activation sequence so that we wouldn't run into any problems."

Morgan programmed an additional simulation of the buffer in mind that could completely isolate the drive unit itself until called for.

[T'lana]

T'lana looked up from the Science Station to see a new crew member arrive on bridge.

"Welcome aboard ensign. You must be our new operations officer?!"

[Holographic Officer Beta]

"Raising shields. Phasers charged to 20%, torpedo tubes online." Beta calmly reported. He tapped another control, and the lighting throughout the ship shifted to a dim yellow glow.

[Chaya Sar]

It took a moment for Chaya to shake off the fear enough answer T'lana.

"Ye...yes...sorry, I just seen the mind of the Na'Jigat. There is also a darkness," the only word to describe what she saw in the force. "Coming this way."

[Morgan Freeman]

The computer finishes the analysis of the chemicals in the fuel displaying two known chemicals and the rest of the fuel mix was not known to the main computer.  "Interesting, it would appear that the fuel mix contains some unknown chemicals.  I will have to do an in depth scan of each chemical and determine its makeup.  Once that is done we can determine a substitute."  
Turning to Larial, "hello my dear girl.  How are you feeling today?  This is Chaya Sar, she is from another galaxy.  We are trying to find a way to refuel the craft she arrived in."

[Givrillian Sarpedon]

"Aye." Was all Sarpedon said. He hadn't been trained on Tactical, so was more than pleased to be back on Helm after diverting enough power to shields as he moved the ship to a safer distance, though in his opinion, the Borg seemed to have fired on them regardless of whether or not he had fired.

[Morgan Freeman]

"Take a look at these readings from the new core, it seems as though an unexplained power lose happens when we first activate the drive.  I have done about 30 simulations and they all end up with the exact same result, a very random and intense power drop."

Morgan, being polite surrenders his chair to T'lana so that she can study the console more effectively.

[Orpheus]

Several assorted Federation starships dropped out of warp close to the Rivendell. They almost immediately opened fire on the Borg sphere.

The Rivendell rocked slightly. "Commander," Orpheus said, "the Borg ship has lost it's tractor beam on us. Shall we begin combat maneuvers?"

[Holographic Officer Beta]

((Sorry, but since Morgan is a full Commander, wouldn't it be logical for him to assume command in Taurik's absence, since he is the ranking officer?))

Beta stepped into the room, angry with his programming at not being able to protect the Captain from the Borg.

"Ma'am: with due respect; we shouldn't be in here talking. We should be on the Bridge, fighting to get free of the Borg, to allow us to pursue the Captain! We cannot do a thing with that tractor beam on us!"

[Taurik]

"Yes, how did you know?"

[Larial]

"Thank you, that would be wonderful." Stated Larial smiling.

Larial slightly nodded her head and then went back to Morgan smiling, she was obviously excited to be here, even her Optical Display System was brighter in color as it constantly displayed telemetry. Or maybe that was just her imagination, if she had one of course.

[T'lana]

"I thought Starfleet Engineers were supposed to be miracle workers, perhaps this is a tall tale as you humans say." T'lana stated wryly. Vulcans claim not to have a sense of humor, but this is usually not the case.

[kloek8]

=A= kloek8 to chief medic =A=
" is the chief there?"

[Morgan Freeman]

Morgan looks up from his station to see Larial walk into engineering.  "Hello dear girl, yes we could use your help.  If you want to join the conduit repair team I am sure you can increase there productivity."

Turning to T'lana "Repairs are coming along at a very nice rate,  we should be fully operational in two days."

[T'lana]

T'lana scanned the area around the target coordinates.

"Captain, there is a 29 feet long object, at coordinates 231 by 119, 200,000 kilometers from our current position. I am reading one lifeform in some form of hyperbaric stasis. For such a small craft Captain, I am getting an energy reading of 10 to the 19,000,000,000 electron volts...Captain that is the highest amount of energy, technology can produce."

"If I were to guess captain, it appears to be a fighter craft of some kind."

T'lana was impressed by what the sensors were showing, every electromagnetic frequency of the craft was showing a vessel not only alien to the Federation, but it seems alien to the entire galaxy.

"Another interesting point Captain, the sublight propulsion system is Ion based."
