these are the adventures of the USS Atomic, an experimentle ship the size of a space station.

1st officers log. Today the USS Atomic was launced from the federation star base construction bays at Mars. The crew is mostly droid controled and so the majority of our crew is in engineering.

The first oficer walked onto the bridge, the bridge was a very large rectangle structure with a view screen at one end and a station over view on the other, along the oposit wall was a large window overlooking a large shuttle repair and construction bay, in the comand chair sat the captain, half human half rommulin, and with a very short fuse, how she had gotten this ship no one was quite shure, the crew had a pole that it had been through some sort of decet.
The captain turned around and glared at the first officer, she hadent liked him, not sence he had steped on bored 4 days ago to over see crew transfer. "the main crew is on bored, we are prepaired to leave", she said in a cold tone turning back to the helm oficer, the helm and tactical positions were both sunken into the floor so their consoles were at ground level and the oficers manning them would not be in any transmissions the captain sent. "Take us out thrusters and tracters only".
From the outside the ship looked like a masive sphear but with rings at its horizantal axis, these rings controled thrusters impalse and warp, the ship slowly moved out of dock under thruster power, aided by directional tracter beams to make shure the ship didn't hit anything. the ship cleared the morrings and stoped after turning toward the outer soler system.
" set corse to the rommulin neutral zone full impalse",came the captains startling orders, there had been no activity there for years, why would starfleet send this advanced ship there. the first oficer didn't even have time to make a note of this becuse as soon as the helmsman pushed engage the console exploded sending a power spike through the system, the spike trigared a revers warp pulse which shot the ship backwards toward the sun, to make maters worse one of the engins had only partialy fired, the station was now travling and 1/4 warp toward the sun and spinning, it took a second for the inertial dampners to compinsate.
In engineering the engineers were panicked the core had breached durring the pulse and was now leaking plasma which was starting to ooz into engineering. the engineers couldent contain the breach and they knew the ship was heading into the sun so they made a rash dicision, the warp core could make a jump, it would rupture but it should be able to for the warp field first. with only seconds left and the temperature rising the chief engineer made the call and hit the emergincy procedures button and the ship jumped to warp, the engineers calculations were off though, instead of stoping the ship or forcing it in the other direction the jum sling shoted them around the sun, and only upon emerging on the other side of the sun did they realise the brave sacrofice of their engineers, all of whom were vaporised in the plasma explotion that engulfed engineering after the core burst during the warp jump. the ship was slowed by the suns gravity and eventualy fell into high orbit of a planet, and since sensors were one of the first things to go they didn't know which one, but star fleet was shure to send rescue ships soon, they hoped, but till then the remaining bridge crew set to work repairing the controle droids, with them running they could get them to fix the ship.
After about two hours they had compleeted one of the less severly damaged controle droids who started to round up un damaged bots to cleen out and vent engineering.

Tremiles · **Mon Jul 14, 2003 12:36 am**

The clearing of engineering took about an hour and meen while the bridge crew was woried, the federation still hadent sent rescue ships, why. The first oficer paced infront of the shuttle bay look out on the bridge, it was damaged but with some force they could probably get one of the doors open, the problem was they didn't know if their was any hull breaches, on crack and the entire ship could break apart so opening that door was not an option, at least untill that aria had been checked out.
The time pased so slowly, it had seemed like days, but only 18 hours had past sence that horible ordeal, engineering had been cleand up and the secondary core that was kept in storege was instaled, their was now power and the crew could breath easyer knowing the air was being circulated again. then came a status report from controle droid 1, he was controling 100 droids and was at his copasity, he needed more controlers, but none of the staff knew how to fix the remaining controlers, none of them having taken engineering corses, or having long forgoten them. the other thing was good news, comunications were back on line. the first oficer almost fell on his face as he scrambled out of his chair and to the viewer, he switched it on and sudenly it filled up with transmissions, but odly none of them from starfleet, so he isolated one of the transmisions and clicked the on screen button, sudenly a picture came on screen, it was nothing like anything the first oficer had seen. there was fat balding man, a person, presumible his wife, with long tall blue hair, a bow with a red shirt and shorts, and a girl in a red dress, as well as a bayby in a blue thing with a pasifyer, all were a realy bright yellow and didn't actualy look like real humans, they looked fake, hand drawn, crude. but suprisingly the first oficer couldent look away. The show ended with the Simpsons and a theam song and then came what apeared product anouncements and another diferent transmision started. "were are we", the first officer kept thinking, then it struck him,"when are we".

Tremiles · **Mon Jul 14, 2003 1:53 pm**

the question plauged his mind for about half an hour as he scaned the transmissions, finly one gave the answer. It apeared to be an informative brodcast and it said. "All that and more, tonite, June 1, 2004". 2004, he quickly did the math in his head, dang that was over four hundred years ago, in a time where there was only rudimentery space travel, the moon colony was still only in planing and they hadent even started mining helium and dilithium from jupiter yet. This could be bad, he knew they had satilites that could spot objects in space and teliscopes that monitered space, they had to get the external sensors on line quickly. they had to know if they could be seen.

Wow.

Please continue!

The entire crew was now paniced, the news did not sit well, they had been stranded for atleast 24 hours and sensors were still down. sensors were now the priority with the ship in an unknown orbit suposidly around a pre warp earth they needed to asses the situation, the first officer cursed the designer for not installing windows, aperently they needed the heavy armor, what the crew wouldent give at this minute to see anything outside the ship. The captain had headed down to what was left of engineering to see if the stabalising thrusters were still working, though with out sensors they wouldent know which way to stabalise a degrading orbit, for all they knew they were plumiting to earth at that moment, the first officer had tried to reach the captain over intercomm but aparently the ones in engineering were destroyed as well, and her comm badge was not responding, suddenly the main view screen flickered and cracked loudly, scarring everyone on the bridge, which was only the tactical officer and the first officer, everyone else taking off to help with what every they could. The first officer had, till this moment, felt useless, having forgoten all of his beginers engineering after so many years. He was stuck here maning what was left of the bridge, the tactical officer at least knew how to re wire a new helm station in place so they would have that if they ever fixed the sensors and got the engins up and running again.
The screen flicked again, then came the best site he had seen in 24 hours, the stars and in the far left side the curve of the earth, blue ocean and a green land mass was comming up over the side, to his relief they were not falling, he decided to pan to the left to get a better view only to find out that the majority was hidden by the earths moon, at first he was disapointed not being to se the earth, then he realised if the earth was mostly hiden from sensors by the moon, the moon was probably hiding the ship from satalites.
The next thing on line was internal sensors, hailed by a beep at the ops station, good, with internal scanners working they could scann for hull breaches or fractures, after starting the scann he tried the captain again, but with no luck, it had been over three hours and the first oficer was getting woried, what could have hapend, but then he reminded himself that repair was a long job especialy in engineering right now, it had been flash fried in the explotion aparently the middle three floors were now one very tall floor the deviding roofs having been vaporised.
with this in mind the first oficer put the thoughts out of his head and looked out the large window into the shuttle bay, they droids had just started to clear the debries, some supports had colapsed, there were bulkheads and cargo thrown every were, he was looking out at the buisy droids when he noticed they weren't buisy, in fact none of them were moveing, he quickly called down to the controle bay and got no response.
The first officer made a quick decision, he was not going to sit on the bridge any longer, he put the tactical officer in charge and ran out, he reached the controle bay, it was a octigonal room with seven stations around the wall, one for each of the controll droids, though only one station was in use. the first officer looked intently at the controle droid and said in a clear voice "Computer, status of controle droid". "specify" came the automated responce. "controle droid curently transmiting at station 1". " There is no transmisions comming from station one", came the monitone reply. "Computer asses controle droids condition". "speci.." the first oficer cut in, "the droid pluged into bay one". "that droid was experiencing major mechanical problems, he has been deactivated until repairs have been compleeted". "WHAT" the first oficer yeald trigering a repeat of the computers last mesage. He calmed down a little, "what problems did the droid have?". "his batterie shorted out causing a masive overload, he was shut down in time to save his nural pathways but repairs to his circutes must be made before re-activation can comence"
"Just great", the first officer thought as he whent to find the captain. "Now who is going to repair the ship".

Tremiles · **Tue Jul 15, 2003 11:39 pm**

The first officer arived in engineering to find the captain. She was working over the primary power relays on the upper deck. "captain, we have a problem, the droids...". "I know" the captain inturupted pointing at two disabled droids.
"So what should we do", the first officer was concernd, without repair the ship wouldent last long.
A spark flew from the relay the captain was working on, it had zaped her. "We need to get some engineers"
"Well captain if you wait for another 200 years the planet may be advanced enoff to help", the first officer smiled at his joke. but the captain didn't find it amusing.
"wait, thats it, the planit, we could get some of the people from the planet to help".
"But captain the prime directive on time travle"
"to hell with it, if we dont get help we are dead, someone down there must be smart enoff to help"
"but if they are that smart wo't thy be missed"
"not if we take them before their genious is noticed"
"Captain", the first officer was confused now.
" children, late teens, early twenties, taken from the best engineering school"
"but your talking about abduction"
"I'm talking about saving our lives and getting us home"
"but how do we get to earth"
"Shutle"
"but the shutle bay is blocked with debries"
"then you beter get to work clearing it"
The first oficer left to go to the shuttle bay, he didn't like it but he had his orders.

Tremiles · **Wed Jul 16, 2003 1:32 am**

The first oficer reached the shuttle bay and started to look thoughout the bay for a working shuttle. he climed over debries and finaly found a shuttle that worked, the only problem was it was traped under a colapsed bulkhead. He quickly found a broken pole and tried to pry the bulkhead off the shuttle. it took almost five minutes to clear the shuttle but it was finaly clear, he then checked the power to the forcefields. It was on but that didn't mean the fields worked. he got in the shuttle and tried to call the captain. it worked, her comm was on again. "Captain, shuttle is ready, get the team or whatever ready and lets go"..
The captain came down a fue minutes later with two of the auxilery crew members, one was a nurse and one was the secondary helmsman, the first still in sickbay with heavy burns. "Captain, the shuttle is powered up".
"good, then go back and take the bridge", the captain snaped.
"What".
"You heard me, I know you don't like this idea so I'm leaving you on the ship".
"but, you cant do......"
the captain cut him off with a vicious stare," I can't? , I'm the captain, I can do ANYTHING I want. and I don't need you to tell me what I can and cant do, now get to the bridge".
The first oficer turnd on his heals to make a show of his obediance but as soon as the doors closedhe cursed the captain all the way to the bridge, were he continued mumbling insutes while looking out at the shuttle bay.

Commenting again; it's getting better and better. Keep it up!

He watched as the shuttle lifted off the hanger floor, the fallen bulkheads started to shake under it as it rose, then it slowly moved forword stoping just in front of the hanger doors, over the comm came the captains voice, it sounded agitated,"quit looking at us and OPEN THE DOOR". The first officer jumped at that, he had forgoten that the shutles couldent remotly open the doors. He whent over to the panle and looked it over, he taped one of the green butons which turnd red, the captains voice came back over the comm,"wrong door you incompitent........". IT wasent his fault he hadent done this in a while eather, and this was a new and complicated ship.He looked to se which door had opend then he pushed the button again closing the open door and tried another one, this time the right door opend but the security forcefield blew out when the door was half way open, the door continued to rise but now everything was being sucked out of the bay, bulkheads and debries flew out the widening hole, the shutle was on reverse thrusters trying not to get sucked out untill the door was al the way open. but before the door had stoped a large suport beam, being pulled by the rapidly escaping wind, flew forword hitting the shutle which emediatly was sucked out along with the beam.
The first officer ran over to the sensor pannle and looked it over, two of the shuttles engins had been knoked off line which would have been ok if the shuttle wasn't already entering the earths atmosphere at a steep angle. the first officer ran to the other side of the command deck and tried to hail the shuttle but their comm was down too. he just hoped they could get back to the ship after.
He closed the hanger door and started the represurisation sequence. I hope they make it.

Nice! I love it! Continue, please!

Tremiles · **Thu Jul 17, 2003 9:00 pm**

At that moment on the shuttle all hell was breaking loose, not only were the engins knoked out but the sensors and transmiters were also, two of the panles were blacked out so the helms man was flying on the manual stick and by what he saw out the front window, it took them about 30 seconds to stabalise, 30 seconds that felt like forever to the four people in the shuttle. the helmsman finaly stabalised the shuttle and brought it down after a long decent. the shuttle landed in an open field.
The captain was the first out. "Ok we need to find some people who can help us".
The science oficer spoke up,holding his tricorder in his left hand and pointing with his right, "there is a settlement that way about 1 KM."
"Good then lets get started".

Awsome

Very nice talent u have

Back on the station things had gone from realy bad to worse, without the droids matenence everything was starting to break, the first thing to go was the working replicators, and sence then a system was failing every half hour and the people left on the ship were doing everything they could just to make shure life suport wasn't next.

Down on the planet the captain and science oficer were surveying a very good prospect. they had found a video archade on the outskirts of town and there were alot of youth inside. "some of them have to know how to fix technology, heck look how good they use it". It was the science oficer who stated the obvious and bursted her bubble. "I can use a sonic shower well but if it broke I wouldent know how to fix it". The captain turnd and frownd, "good point, lets keep looking".

Tremiles · **Sat Jul 19, 2003 12:57 am**

They had been searching for two hours when they came across a sign that said COMPUTER REPAIR. The captain pointed, "hey, that is exactly what we want, our computer repaired". they all looked in the window, there were two teens sitting behind a desk wireing a desk top computer. "those two would be perfect".
The science oficer looked at her, "how do you plan to get them to come with us, we are too far into the town to just stun them and drag them back to the shuttle, someone would notice". "Actualy", the captain said drawing out the word while pointing at the TV,"it might not be that hard", the words Lost In Space crosed the sceen. "they might want to come volintarily".

Tremiles · **Sat Jul 26, 2003 12:03 am**

The captain walked in and strode up to the counter, the rest in tow, "Hello".
The two behind the counter nearly jumped, the settled themselves, and looked up,"hello, what can we do for.......". they just stared at the captain. Fear shot through her gaze, in her era pointed ears were common, she forgot about them, now she panicked then one of them spoke, "no dis respect but dude.....You look like a vulcan" The captain almost fell over,"WHAT". "You know, a vulcan, like the ones on Star Trek".
"Star Trek"? the captain had never heard of it, but then she didn't pride herself on her knowledge of history.
"Ya you know, the show done by Gene Rodenbury".
The name sounded familier, there was a temporal scientist by that name, but she dismised it.
