Ensign Thomas was running around the Engineering stations pressing buttons frantically, but all the time he was doing this he had a real happy smile on his face, a smile that spoke volumes, and if you knew Elliot you knew that he was thinking something along the lines of "I know this is a challenge but we can do this we have the technology, skill and capabilities to do this, so lets get it done".
ET knew he had now got the Primary power stabilized to the best it could be considering the state of the ship. :: Now to go to the Bridge and see if I can help there,:: Ensign Thomas thought to himself as he looked around the empty room.

The young Ensign exited the turbo lift and entered the Bridge. "Hello Captain, Hi Maya, have you managed to get sensors online?" Elliot said with enthusiasm that was going to burst him.
"Yes ET we have managed to get the sensors working properly now the primary power has been stabilized, however there is not really much else we can do about getting any of the crew back here unless they were lucky enough to keep a hold of their comm badges like you managed to do yourself Elliot," the Shillian woman said in a rather sad tone.
"Ensign I am hoping that you have an idea or something cause you seem extremely positive about something in this bleak time, and I hope that something is in our favour," the Red headed woman said with a half smile, half a confused look.
"OK here we go," Elliot said with a smile then continued "I've managed to stabilize the Primary power by re-routing some of the systems for tactical and sensors through the Main computer alternate core, which is putting less strain on the Main computer core making it more stable and giving us more power to work with. However we are not going to have any kind of Warp power for a while but we do have minimal impulse power. Now for the good news, I was hoping that you would have the sensors working cause I have an idea of how we can rescue the rest of the crew."
The Captain stared at the COO with amazement and said in a relieved quiet tone "You think you can rescue the rest of the crew? tell me how?"
Maya and the CO exchanged looks of excitement before giving Elliot their full attention. ET sat at the Navigational chair and turned towards them both and started his explanation. "Right, if we use the tactical and navigational scanners along with the subspace flow scanners to locate the bio forms of the ANUBIS/HATHOR crew, we can then transport them aboard." The Ensign knew by the looks of his fellow crew mates he was going to need to explain this a little bit more, so he smiled and continued. "OK this is how I think it will work. If we can do a remote life form analysis by using an algorithm package to run the resonance scanners to provide the biological data we need, we can then use this information in conjunction with the optical and chemical analysis sensors so we can extrapolate the right bio forms of the ships staff, once we have figured out which of the bio forms are our crew mates we can use the tactical and navigational scanners to get the co-ordinates and mass of each member and lock on to them and beam them up, *well in theory that is*." Before the CO or Lt. Cmdr. Maya could say anything in reply to this extraordinary plan, ET continued in a dull tone, "There is some bad news, because the tactical scanners are running through the Main computer alternate core, the scanners are going to be slower to complete normal tasks, and also because we have to locate each individual crew member we have to bring them aboard one at a time, I'm sorry but this is the best I can come up with."
Captain Rikar smiled at Elliot and stated in an authoritative tone "well what's taking you Ensign, get hold of Lt. Cmdr. Maya..." Elliot's concentration wavered, he grinned at the thought of getting hold of Lt. Cmdr. Maya then again got a grip of his senses and continued to listen to the Captain, "... I want to be getting as many of the crew back here as soon as possible, we need to get highest qualified personnel first, so get to work team."
