Captain McCloud: “Mr. Ford, help Main Engineering with
the deactivation of the probe.”

Cmdr. Ford: “Aye Sir, Will…::he was then cut off, at
he alert system on his console:: “Captain, it appears
the Probe has been destroyed.”

Captain McCloud: “How?”

Cmdr. Ford: ::It looks over the status Read-Outs of
the probe:: “it appears the energy core overloaded,
due to the sound frequency, the probe was not able to
handle such a frequency level.”

Captain McCloud: “Were you able to retrieve any data
from it, before it exploded?”

Cmdr. Ford: “Some, but not a lot, it will take about
30min, to make sense of it, most of the data has been
scramble, I’ll need help from Astrometrics, to clear
of the data.”

Captain McCloud: “Very well, proceed.”

Cmdr. Ford: “Aye sir, on it.” ::As he ready the data
for Astrometrics, he notice something that could put a
crimp, in the day, and the captain in a bad mood.”

Cmdr. Ford: “Captain, you won’t believe
this,….pause….But main shields went down to 20%,
Phaser banks are now at half power, and holding, main
launchers are deactivated, unable to bring them back
On-Line.”

Captain McCloud: ::The bridge crew were all shocked,
and a bit scared, by the news, he captain snapped back
at the Cmdr:: “What_How!”

Cmdr. Ford: “it appears the frequency from the probe,
infiltrated our systems, and shut down all defenses,
::he looks down at the controls and read outs, his
face turn paled:: I am unable to bring our defenses
back to full operational status, we are defenseless.” 

Cmdr. Ford: ::He then looks down to the controls, and
main sensors, and the found something else:: “I am now
detecting an unknown energy signature, exiting the
anomaly…by the read outs, it is big.”

Captain McCloud: ::Which was already strained, but
holding it together and showing great strength to the
crew:: “A vessel?”

Cmdr. Ford: “Maybe, but with, ::He was then imm. Cut
off:: Sensors are down, I lost it.”

OFF: I hope my post does not cause to much trouble,
just wanted to raise the stakes up a bit more..
