Mission:
Lost & Found
Location: USS Daystrom/USS Henry Hudson
Eislyn worked with Kate to bring up all systems. Checking the read outs one last time she gave a look over at Kate, "Looks like we are ready to go. You should be able to take the runabout back to the Washington while we guide this ship out of the asteroid field."
Kate waved a moment for no reason but then started talking, "Okay so, you really want me to leave you alone in here with this spooky ship and all the strange happenings happening?"
"Not to worry ensign. I'll be fine here with our ghostly friend here" Eislyn joked. "Now go on. I'll talk to Wyatt and Vi and inform them you are taking the runabout back."
Kate shrugged and nodded slightly before turning on her heels and running off down the hallway faster than Scooby Doo.
Eislyn offered a chuckle as Kate took off in comedic fashion. Eislyn hit her comm badge, =^=Eislyn to the bridge, full power restored, shields and deflector at full strength, engines at your ready. I've sent Kate along to return the runabout to the Washington. =^=
Wyatt was on the bridge when Eislyn's voice spoke to him, informing him of the new status of ship's systems. "Very good Eislyn. Stand ready."
Meanwhile, Tarja and Vi were still in sickbay. "Vi, take a look at this medical log entry. They were reading strange biogenic radiation just before they disappeared. You know, this has a very similar signature to the neurogenic signature from the apparitions. Do you think they could be emanating from the same location?"
Vienna took a look at the log entry, comparing facts. “It’s too similar to dismiss, I’d say it’s definitely a possibility.”
"I think this is something we should report to Cmdr Celes once we get back to the Washington. I'm sure she will be able to make something out of it" Tarja replied.
“Agreed” Vienna nodded. “It’s too important to ignore.”

Deanna and Inara had worked diligently, albeit somewhat cantankerous between them, studying all the readings and collecting samples for analysis. The transporter trace indicated that whatever had taken Shon had emanated from a location inside the asteroid field, and it had a phased nature to it, indicating some sort of cloaking technology.
Inara shook her head. "Commander, with all due respect, why are we trying to kick a dead horse of a ship into going after Commander T’ghann-Travis, when chasing them in a Sovereign Class Starship would be preferable? Given their level of technology, they could just say, 'You see that Oberth Class ship, I don't want to see it,' and kill us with one shot. The Oberth Class did have a reputation of being easily destroyable."
Deanna gave a chuckle as she shook her head. "Jumping to conclusions again lieutenant. Maybe you are planning to chase after aliens in this relic, but I have no intention of doing so. If and when we go chasing after those that took Shon, I fully plan and expect to be on the Washington. Perhaps you'll want to join us" quipped with a smile.
=^=LeFaye to Cmdr Grayson. All systems online. We are ready to get this ship underway. =^=
Jon heard LeFaye's comment. =^= Very good LeFaye. Let's raise the sails and get this moving back to the Washington. =^=
=^= Understood. Getting us underway. =^=
