Space Port Aegis - Fridays 10 ET - Command Staff: Captain Sylfaen, Nijil tr'Korjata

Between 6/7/2024 9:03 PM and 6/7/2024 10:05 PM

yes?

TBS was 12 hours. Time to rest, experiments to show some resultrs, and hopefully move towards progress.

9:03 PM

Any questions before we get started?

Not that I can think of

::Studying the results::

::considering how foolish some more direct actions might be::

:: Nijil would rather go over wormhole topology than look for another minute at the results from the scans. Either the answer needed more investigation or the solution buried deep in the previous scans ::

Nijil, what are you thinking?

::gets up and heads to Mimi's location::

::back in the med bay, looking over some results::

::sees the Captain heading her way:; Hello

Morning. I have a question.

I might have an answer

Etching away at that crystalized zone out there appears will take a century or two at this rate.

9:12 PM

But can we tighten the targetted space to drill a micro-tunnel through to the center?

::thinks:: It would be possible

I have two thoughts on this. One, we might find a more effective tactic working from the center outwards. And two, our portal is currently locked at the center of that thing. We still have the Romulan refugees trapped in the parallel space. And again, attaching this from the inside might work better.

That if we find a resonance it will be two-fold: Require a lot of power and create a great discharge of energy from the shatter.

Just a small passage would be enough to get a comm link with the portal equipment.

9:18 PM

Assuming it hasn't been compromised or rewritten with the rest of the terrain.

But it would have to be large enough to unfocus the transmission.

9:21 PM

Actually, we could get a good set of interior sensor readings if the angle is just right. But how long to drill this hole?

About half a kilometer to reach our equipment.

::hears Nijil and calculates the trajectory of the micro-drilling:: Roughly 5-6 hours if that.

Better than a century.

:: Materializes :: What happened? How long was I offline?

Better by far.

Set the equipment up for micro-drilling.

Aye.

Did we figure out what was causing the sensor degradation?

:: Sends his teams to get the drilling starting ::

Apparently the degradation was caused by moisture and low levels of electromagnetic discharge. ::hands Sylfaen the report::

::takes the padd::

:: Faces Doctor Sandero ::

That seems odd. Well, give the weather patterns maybe not that odd. But we've actually had nice clear weather recently.

Oh, hello.

I know

::a little startled by her sudden appearance::

What did he do to me? I feel different. :: Holds out her pawed hands ::

If more of the other dimension is leaking through in ways we can't yet detect. ::shakes head:: One problem at a time. Keep an eye on it.

Hmm, did he do some enhancements? Did you always have paws?

Drilling will commence in a few minutes.

He restored me, and yes, I think there are some...alterations.

Good. Back to the science. Let's get whatever data we can as we punch into that thing.

but at least you don't seem to be flickering anymore.

We need teams investigating multiple approaches once we reach the center. Can we get our equipment running again. How best to use it. And can we learn enough to crack that thing from the inside without blowing ourselves off the planet.

:: Sees the start of the drilling on his display ::

He has me at an advantage. :: sits :: How is the crystal going?

I think it's going all right. These results do look quite promising.

9:40 PM

But I'm still at the very early stages of poring over my share of the results so I guess anything can happen.

::nods:: For the equipment and how best to use it, a mix of science and engineering

9:43 PM

As for cracking it from the inside out, we could work with science to see what would work the best

And a little luck thrown in would be nice.

Our displaced refugees are anxious that they've gotten hopeful for a place to finally settle down only to possibly be uprooted again. Might be nice to give them any positive updates we can.

::Jyl:: Let the colonist know, we're working every angle of this. At the moment the situation is stable. As for the refugees stuck on the other side of the looking glass, hopefully we can contact them when we regain control of our portal equipment.

:: Goes to a display to see what's going on outside :: Tiny holes huh?

Yeah, weird eh?

9:46 PM

::looks at the display::

::Sylf:: Understood. I'll update the colonists. Stable is at least a good update.

I could fit through there. The eye of the needle.

Wow, that's impressive. ::sips a glass of ratkajino as she zooms in on the display::

::looking at the scans::

Drilling is commencing on schedule.

Good. We have about 5 hours to figure out how to take advantage of this.

Any and all plans are welcome

Holodeck / manticore

USS Manticore - Mondays 10 ET - Command Staff: Captain McFly, Kansas Kenickie

= USS MANTICORE BRIEFING #1273, STARDATE 52406.03 =

= Manticore had been destroyed. Two years later, the crew of the Manticore-B had been splintered. Kansas was reassigned off the ship to a new position guarding the Federation President. Faldek had been given a special assignment which lead to him and Gila going to Cardassia where they met up with an old friend, Edvenent. Manticore herself returned from a years long shakedown cruise and returned to Starbase -REDACTED- to be fitted with a new dorsal module. During a conference on the lunar colony, Kansas was able to thwart an assassination attempt on the President. This proved to be a distraction for the real mission, the theft of Manticore's dorsal module, a weapon known only as the Planet Killer. Manticore was sent after it but wound up running into a group of mercenaries they didn't expect and lost Captain McFly in the process. Kansas was then sent in separately to find the module and slowly uncovered a conspiracy involving high ranking Starfleet officers. Meanwhile, Faldek's mission was to track down a theft of a Federation weapon. After two years the mission seemed as if it may have been scrubbed but they soon learned that it was restarted and was much larger than original anticipated. Faldek discovered a new devastating Dominion Battleship. Gila learned select Jem'Hadar soldiers were being trained on Federation technology. And Edvenent found a connection between their mission and the theft of the PK. Kansas was able to track down the location of the module but found it had already been moved. However she did retrieve McFly. Faldek, Gila & Edvenent were instructed to stop the transfer of this large weapon only to discover the location given to them was wrong. Eventually, all parties found their way back to Manticore. They were able to destroy the Dominion Battleship along with the PK. But their mission may have uncovered a deep conspiracy and Kansas is intent on capturing someone close to the Federation President. Manticore has returned to Earth and they've just stumbled into a hornets nest. Manticore, and Black Ops at large, is being locked down for reasons that have yet to be revealed. Faldek, Gila and Edvenet were taken by SF Security and interrogated by unauthorized personnel. Finally someone from A9's office arrived to remove them from the situation. Meanwhile, Kansas found the Federation President dying of poison and Admiral Jaffee by his side. As the only person not from Black Ops she has free reign to investigate what happened. EJ and Bren were sent to question Jaffee. Hopefully Kansas freedom will be able to get them access to her. = starfleet

Not that I could tell. It happened so quickly but I could hear her inquire about my safety. She didn't sound like she was experiencing anything.

<Cdr. Dalton> I was pretty sure no one would be around to see us. This place was chosen because it's a little out of the way. (edited)

We're at war and Cardassians aren't exactly members of the Federation. I had to get special permission to join up and get citizenship. ::enters::

Can I have Premission to speak with Jaffee and collect your Medical records?

Commander, this is a secured medical room. Authorized personnel only. Strict adherence.

I'd like to get back to my ship.

::very klingonic speech pattern:: Please definitely lead the way. My lunch is getting colder and colder. Then I will have to get colder and colder.

Permission, of course. I'm sure it's just a misunderstanding. I was briefed about her arrest but Commander... ::looks around:: Something is happening here that even I'm not privy to. Something involving Elaine. My instinct is to not believe the worst but, well, let's just say I'm not being kept in the loop on this one.

::cheeky Klingon-y grin::

<Cdr. Dalton> That's understandable, Commander Faldek. Unfortunately, it's not possible at this time.

I will get you back in the loop. ::Leans over and pokes on the console.. fids Jaffee’s location::

I'm sorry, Commander but you're not authorized, otherwise you wouldn't be coming in this way. Besides, I couldn't grant you access if I wanted to. You would already have it.

Is this standard procedure after going undercover?

::Sets the rifle to stun and stuns both of the guards::

I would say no.

((Damn, and I thought KK had the itchy finger))

((I'm just gotdamn tired of guns being pointed at us and us not pointing the guns))

Feel better sir, I will be back to update you

At least not in my experience.

::Grabs PADD’s and looks over Jaffee’s location:::

Well there is a door there as well.. ::pointing::

<Cdr. Dalton> It's the procedure that Admiral Atragon-9's office has determined is appropriate at this time, Dr. Orrak. ::pauses:: I apologize if it is an uncomfortable situation for you all.

+EJ, Bren+ I am sendign you Jaeeffee Location on your Trics

+KK+ Fancy hearing you, here. Are you nearby? Your company would not be unwelcome... ::Looks at the two::

Well, this is a fair bit better if the roles were reversed.

Ah, how is A-9?

::Looks at EJ:: Oh, good. That's a genuine relief to me.

<Cdr. Dalton> Would any of you like something to eat or drink? The replicator is completely programmed. ::gestures towards it::

I suppose there's not any 45' Kanar here... ::looks around passively::

Nothing like having your every move watched.

:: Chuckles, looking at Faldek :: I doubt it...

::Hurries down the hall, Enters the rook EJ & Bren are in::

<Cdr. Dalton> I do believe there is a cabinet with some alcohol around here...but I'd be a bit surprised if you'd find that particular item in there.

::satisfied her experiments are going well, she monitors the automatic feeding system for the cetaceans, programs in a few more salmon for them for their troubles::

<Cdr. Dalton> ::opens some cabinet doors in the kitchen looking for any booze::

I dout there's Kanar, but let's see, unless the debriefing will be happening soon, then alcohol or anything would be inadvisable. (edited)

::looks at KK:: Welcome to our humble abode.

I could use a drink. My favorite state of matter.

Have Jaffee’s location and an OK to talk with him from the Preseident

The local staff probably aren't going to believe that the President sent you ::Nudges a drooling guard with his foot::

I have other Plans… I am. Not with Ryan just yet

:: Looks at Faldek :: I'll have a glass..

::pours it in the glasses::

this doesn’t look swell

I'm happy to see anyone I trust.

<Cdr. Dalton> ::sips the whiskey, nods:: Glad we found something to make your time here a little more comfortable. I hope it beats the Spacedock questioning room, at least.

::Nods:: We are the only ones you can count on

9:40 PM

I am going to speak to Ryan again.. you 2 got this from here?

::nods::

I know that. You have to get me out of here before-- Wait! Kansas! Where are you going?

::Slips PADD’s in her bag, hurries down the hall:::

Well, let's be fair, I've had worse.

9:41 PM

Done worse too.

::Staops walking:: Lt Ryan, Bad guy who need my attention

::puzzled look on her face::

One time I was interrogating a traitor in a freezing room and hungry voles...

::walks back into the med room::: you know Ej and Bren you can trust. Them

::looks at the Admiral:: We have a lot of moving parts at the moment.

:: Takes another sip :: Don't say the name Voles...

I am not abanddoning you

<Cdr. Dalton>::sips whiskey, raises eyebrows, interested to hear more of Faldek's story::

::looks at them:: Alright so, lower the forecfield.

:: Drinks, wincing ::

<Cdr. Dalton> ::notices Dr. Orrak's wince:: Not enjoying the whiskey, Doctor?

Well basically this guy was caught with classified materials. He eventually gave up that he was working as a double agent for the Romulans. They did eat some of toes, and fingers...

I prefer a more golden color of spirit, like champagne.

Jaffee, tell me what were you doing talking eariler?

::Looks at EJ:: Erm... I didn't bring my electronic lock picks, did you...?

You know, the ones that are served in an ice bucket.

Admiral, we'll work on that. In the mean time... what happened here?

::looks for lockpicks::

::Looks at Jaffee:: you were talking to the Preseident and then found injured in his office

9:48 PM

:::Pulls out lock picks and a laser scaple::

<Cdr. Dalton> ::to Dr. Orrak:: I'm afraid I didn't spot any champagne here. That's a bit more...festive than this place usually is. ::gestures to the bottles on the counter:: But maybe there is something more your taste...

You're like a Black Ops Store. You have every thing ::to KK:: (edited)

The lock picks don't surprise me, but... the laser scalpel?

A white wine perhaps? Ah well.

::sighs:: I was checking on him. We started talking and almost immediately he got sick. I hurried over because he was falling out of his chair. I was just about to call the medics when you opened the door.

::looks at Orrak funny::

what was your first reason for going in to talk to him

9:51 PM

::Pulls out 3 tools, starts to work:: Scaple is just incase

I have not taken the time to sample every drink.

<Cdr. Dalton> ::examining the bottles, trying to spot any wine:: What about Saurian brandy...?

KK, I'd like to chide you for shooting first and asking questions later, but... ::looks over his shoulder at the entry room, then turns a very very weary smile to KK::

You're like a Black Ops Store. You have every thing ::to KK:: (edited)

((Um... KK Mart?))

it works

I will try that one. Sadly the Dominion did not provide any gamma quadrant variants.

:::Swithes tooks:::

<Cdr. Dalton> ::pours a glass of Saurian Brandy for Dr. Orrak, smiles slightly:: Another advantage of being back in the Federation.

::Doesn’t look over::: Did Ryan have anything to say for himself

9:54 PM

:::Grabs the PADD by Jaffee’s bed.. Reads it over:::

He wanted to meet with me about the PK theft. Word got out to some of the higher ranks about the situation. Some had no idea we held such a weapon. Of course they didn't know. But once they learned the hit the fan. The President wanted me to brief him about the situation.

Perhaps this brandy will regenerate me. The time differences between places have wreaked my rhythm.

And before you briefed him what were you doing?

:: Takes a seat and takes another sip ::

<Cdr. Dalton> ::nods:: Understandable. If anybody needs to rest there are a couple of bedrooms here. ::gestures down a hallway::

::sidelong glance at Orrak:: That's right, you weren't an operator. You wouldn't be use to that sort of thing. You were an analyst or something?

Putting out fires across starfleet because of this incident in the middle of preparing for the meeting.

:::Scans over Jaffee’s Medical report::

That's one way of putting it. I feel into several occupations before medical called to me.

::nodding::

9:57 PM

How are you feeling after everything that has happened?

I try not to feel in times like this.

<Cdr. Dalton> ::sips his whiskey, listening to Dr. Orrak::

I assume you're just an analyst of some sort eh Dalton?

:::Plays more with the locks:::

As in, not an operator.

The Obsidian Order is, or was, many things to many people in the Cardassian region.

::Wonders if anyone is woundering why it is taking so long::

^Harlys> Yep.

“I think it might be doing something with time and space travel. It may be the source of our weird distress signal shenanigans.”

Irene> Does some calculations on her tricorder. "Peak sunlight... axial tilt... optical scattering... point 'em that way." She points toward the northeast.

Ens Reynolds> ::Turns about and nods.:: Aye, sir. Looks perfect. ::Glad to be stationary, at least. Starts to unpack the solar array equipment.::

9:33 PM

Cdr Jalen Stanton> The strange energy portal, you mean? It's some sort of rift, perhaps?

“That I don’t know.”

Rex> Considers suggesting he shoot at it, again

Irene> "It's something that will absorb all the power we can throw at it, but to what end, I can't tell you. We definitely don't want it running out of power, but..."

Rex> So if it is open a rift, can we reverse it?

“I don’t see why not, but we need to ascertain how it works.”

Rex> I thought Excalibur's engineering manual specified "start pressing buttons"

“Would you like me to start doing that?”

Rex> Shrugs

Cdr Jalen Stanton> Definitely not. ::Frowns.::

Irene> "If you're pressing buttons, I'll be in the next system over."

Ens Reynolds> ::Angles the array just so, connects the power control module, and checks the charge before he stands.:: Alright, good to go.

9:46 PM

ACTION> The linkage Reynolds had given Will in engineering starts to beep, indicating that power was available for connection.

:: Continues her scans ::

William looks down. “Alright, here we go.” He makes the connection.

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Peers over Will's shoulder.:: And that thing is hooked into the building's power grid?

“Should be, if I did it right.”

Irene> "You better have..."

Rex> Lowly Infamous last words

(( Will - pick a number from 1 to 10 ))

((8))

(( ooooohhhh ))

((Damnit))

ACTION> The connection from the solar array takes a moment to integrate. The power in the complex goes offline completely and the rift begins to expand once the containment field disappears. There's a quick snap and a whiff of something electrical before the power comes back on again, this time to full strength. The containment field holds and strengthens, the power levels climbing. The energy rift doesn't like it and begins to extend tendrils that sizzle against the field, but it holds steady... for now.

ACTION> On the Excalibur, there is a blip on sensors, but only a blip.

10:00 PM

Rex> Raises his phaser Do i shoot it now?

So last sim, we'd made progress shrinking the crystalized zone. Like, a centimeter or two of the 1 kilometer zone. But progress. However the sensors seem to be blinking out and some other techincal issues.

I think the network may be losing coheson.

Is that a result of what we're doing or outside interference?

Yes, both. We need to cycle in new sensor modules.

Then get started. Full tear down on the old units.

Aye, I will alert the teams. :: taps ::

:: Slowly materializes in ::

::nods:: hey

That was odd. Niji warned me of this as this place is not fully operational.

Looks like you need a boost of speed

:: More tapping :: The modules will be replaced one at a time over the next two hours.

Then let's use the time to review the scans we do have.

9:19 PM

We were picking up resonance at certain frequencies. Not sure if we can use that or should avoid it.

You mean shatter it like a wine glass and sound?

9:20 PM

We'd need a bit resonator.

Like I said, not sure if it's a good or bad idea to pursue.

I work with biological systems of the mind, not holographic intelligent systems.

9:21 PM

I will need a teacher.

I'm afraid holo-intellegence is also out of my domain.

I'd rather not cause a cave-in or worse

We could probably use the resonance, but i'm not sure how much of the mixture would be beneficial

I suppose this is a fair turnabout. When he was in Prani's body we had the upper hand.

For the most part, this is just a large spherical crystalline mass.

I remember that, that was true.

If we can knock off chunks, we may be able to use less energy to gain more effect.

Or crack it. :: Knocks his fist into his other ::

Niji grew into the role, even relaxing a little at some of the local venues. :: sits, picks up a medi-corder ::

Yes, he did a good job with Alexis' hair.

He had to learn. So, is this crystal thing causing any issues?

I want to see some simulations. And, of course figure out what part of this is damaging the sensors. No need blowing out all our systems.

Seems like it. Just hope it doesn't blow up the outpost.

I'll run some simulations

We can run simulations with the latest data we have gathered.

::Nods::

That is more for the science division however.

Agreed.

::checking some of the other experiments::

::starts some of the simulations::

They are working on the first sensor unit.

Well, I can zip across the network, though I'm very large.

Maybe we need a bigger ethernet cable?

How many places can you go? Can you go into people's quarters?

:: Laughs :: Only if allowed. I can travel to both colony cities.

Hm, nice. Though I guess I can always beam over there if I had to get there really quickly.

I have sent the data to the science division. They have the resources of any of the free processing at the colony sites.

= USS MANTICORE BRIEFING #1272, STARDATE 52405.27 =

= Manticore had been destroyed. Two years later, the crew of the Manticore-B had been splintered. Kansas was reassigned off the ship to a new position guarding the Federation President. Faldek had been given a special assignment which lead to him and Gila going to Cardassia where they met up with an old friend, Edvenent. Manticore herself returned from a years long shakedown cruise and returned to Starbase -REDACTED- to be fitted with a new dorsal module. During a conference on the lunar colony, Kansas was able to thwart an assassination attempt on the President. This proved to be a distraction for the real mission, the theft of Manticore's dorsal module, a weapon known only as the Planet Killer. Manticore was sent after it but wound up running into a group of mercenaries they didn't expect and lost Captain McFly in the process. Kansas was then sent in separately to find the module and slowly uncovered a conspiracy involving high ranking Starfleet officers. Meanwhile, Faldek's mission was to track down a theft of a Federation weapon. After two years the mission seemed as if it may have been scrubbed but they soon learned that it was restarted and was much larger than original anticipated. Faldek discovered a new devastating Dominion Battleship. Gila learned select Jem'Hadar soldiers were being trained on Federation technology. And Edvenent found a connection between their mission and the theft of the PK. Kansas was able to track down the location of the module but found it had already been moved. However she did retrieve McFly. Faldek, Gila & Edvenent were instructed to stop the transfer of this large weapon only to discover the location given to them was wrong. Eventually, all parties found their way back to Manticore. They were able to destroy the Dominion Battleship along with the PK. But their mission may have uncovered a deep conspiracy and Kansas is intent on capturing someone close to the Federation President. Manticore has returned to Earth and they've just stumbled into a hornets nest. Manticore, and Black Ops at large, is being locked down for reasons that have yet to be revealed. Faldek, Gila and Edvenent have been taken by SF Security. And Kansas found the Federation President dying of poison and Admiral Jaffee by his side. = starfleet

ACTION> MATT, BREN, EJ AND KANSAS ARE IN SICKBAY GOING OVER WHAT RECENTLY HAPPENED ON EARTH (edited)

::in sickbay listening...::

::relaxing in her quarters, looking out of her window::

::holding on to McFly’s hand tightly:: you thinking shooting her was to much?

:: In sickbay now awake reading a PADD ::

Well you didn't kill her.

::sitting in the waiting room, having been "interrogated".::

:: In his quarters, sitting by thew window, reading a Padd ::

Yeah, I think a little. I mean even if it looked bad she's at least earned our trust. (edited)

::is standing against a wall nearby, trying not to smile at the mental picture of KK going Rambo on Toffee::

:: Sitting not far from Faldek ::

::in sickbay, checking the Captain's biobed display::

I like Ej way of looking at it ::points at EJ::

Nurse Mallory> :: Checks Callista's bios :: It appears you have come out of surgery alright.. Localized pain?

I'm sure you do.

9:07 PM

::glares over at EJ::

:: turns to Faldek :: That was fun, well, not as fun as a Cardassian interrogation, but fun.

::catches the glare:: I am just saying.

it was big of me not to blow her brains out

We don't blow brains out anymore, we just vaporize.

It was quite simplistic. Definitely not SFI.

It was a lot of things going on from what I understand. The President was attacked. She acted.

Yes, Lower Back is sore....nothing I cannot deal with.

:: enters the sickbay ::

::Looks ovver as Jaenke walks in::

Nurse Mallory> Most likely related to Post Operation ....And if you were not on Hyposprays...that pain would be quite notable. Nonetheless I will have the doctor check on you in a moment. ::: does a bland partial smile and walks towards Dr. Tevek ::

So here's the problem I see, we're going to need Jaffee to help us out of this. Moore made it clear we're not on the chopping block, they're after Black Ops as a whole, and quite possibly Jaffee for reasons I don't know. But if they succeed in disbanding Black Ops, we're all going to be collateral.

:: Goes to the nurse :: How is Tyrel?

:: sips a glass of water next to her biobed ::

::shakes his head::

9:12 PM

Why have we never heard of this Admiral Moore until now?

::finishes checking the Captain's biobed readouts and notes Nurse Mallory heading towards him, nods to her::

::sips some tea, hoping Calli's ok::

Starfleet's big. There's a lot of Admirals you haven't heard of.

Starfleet has Admirals like a stray dog has fleas

1

I don't think we'd be having this conversation if this was a Dominion affair.

Nurse Mallory> :: turns to Commander Jaenke while on her way to Dr. Tevek :: She is awake, the surgery was successful. You may visit her briefly.

he is just a suit, nothing more

Well in the Black Ops space.

:: Looks at Faldek :: I was going to say... if those were SFI interrogators.... they were not the most thorough...

Moore isn't Black Ops, he's just someone that wants to see it die.

Maybe a wash out coming back for revenge?

I have never heard anything about an admiral Moore with ambion

Nurse Mallory> :: proceeds to Doctor Tevek :: Doctor, Patient Tyrel has awakened...her vitals are normal...I get the impression she wants to get to work sooner than she should.

Maybe, but he doesn't seem to be alone in this. We need to talk with Jaffee.

I hope she will talk with us stll ::Smiles::

:: nods and heads to Tyrel :: How do you feel?

Comms from this ship have been blacked out. I assume for the others as well.

1

Maybe you want to record a short apology video and send it to her ahead of any visit? Might as well get the unpleasant parts over first lol.

1

::nods at Ed::

::gives out a side eye to Kansas::

Maybe Bren and I should talk with her?

You can try but I have the feeling you won't get close to her.

Hi Chief ....Sore back, I guess that is where the shrapnel got me. Are we in Spacedock?

::to Nurse Mallory:: Yes, that is not an uncommon occurrence among our patients. I will review her readings.

:: Still reading the same Padd::

In fact I know we would not.

Nurse Mallory> :: Nods and departs doing more nurse things around sickbay ::

We can try..if Bren is up for it. What do you say Acting Captain Faliver? ::klingonic grin::

::looks over at Kansas:: Coincidentally, you just happen to be the only one here not actually part of Black Ops.

I'm start to look forward to being C-Sci Faliver again.

I can head down planet and try and get a copy of the secrity feed. Maybe see if someone else seen the Prez before Jeffee and myself

But sure, if the Captain isn't back on duty.

:: Looks at Gila :: No, we would be dead, or possibly in a prison...

Spacedock Admiral Redundant> :: Managing all the new arrivals...ships that usually are not present in Earth Spacedock ::

Oh no, if it was the Dominion we'd be dead.

::walks over to Callista's biobed to check on her readings::

::nods:: Do that. ::looks over at Bren and EJ:: And if you two are able to get to Jaffee then by all means give it a try.

:: Nods to Faldek ::

As far as I know I wasn't relieved of duty as acting XO yet.

I am still On old man detail

Hello Doctor , you are a busy man I see...:: notes all the Senior Offices present ::

and I have Jeffee CC in pocket if we need anything

::looks over to Kansas again:: Might be a good idea to talk with the President again. See if his head has cleared more and if he can remember some more details.

I'd really love to see her reaction if you contacted her

Don't be so sure of that. From what I've learned they have been around for millennia and play the long game.

::nods to McFly:: Can do..

::nods:: That man loves me

Maybe you could also use his position to get them ::nods to EJ and Bren:: into the same room with Jaffee.

9:21 PM

::looks at all of them:: I expect we will have a lot of eyes on us. Be careful.

They should just confine us to the ship if they are worried.

When can I get back to work?

I think they did.

9:21 PM

Partially.

::reads a PADD as she sits in a recliner by her window::

Well then, that's your first assignment, getting off the ship. ::smirks::

We are getting repairs now, and I was told to take a breake.

I'm surprised we haven't heard from my handler yet.

I hope they are not dead. So are we leaving soon or no?

Yes, having the Captain in Sickbay at this time has led to a higher than usual number of visitors. ::looks at her biobed readouts::

((Incoming Message from Faldek's Handler! Bring more KANAR!!!))

I know as much as you.

I am going to head to Earth ::Lets go of McFly’s hand and stands up right::

:: Sighs and crosses his arms ::

Is Jaffee at SF Medical?

Yeah, she might have guards on her

::Staring at the floor with a glazed look in his eyes:: Shuttlebay, space suit, hijack a transporter, see if they've locked down all of the cargo transporters, use the maintenance chute in the ship umbilical, ask politely.... we have a few options

That's fine. Bren. Let's see we can get down there, sir.

we can use my shuttle’s transporter as well

I can get back to work soon right?

Just don't scratch it.

Yacht is off limits.

if that wasn’t taken apart as well

Harnett had to do a lot of things its probably offline.

I like that idea, though

That is up to the doctor, but if it is any thing, it will be light duty. :: looks into her mind :: Ahh. :: grabs his own back ::

Maybe they are waiting to see if we say anything.

:: Transfers the work orders and progress to Tyrel's padd ::

::opens the hatch and climbs in::

::looks at the hatch and interior:: Very retro.

Reading materials is acceptable as long as you remain in the biobed. And set them aside to rest if you start to feel fatigued.

As far as I know it was the cloaking device.

::Nods to Callista:: I'm here to serve. And I will pass your message along to Dr. Orrak when I see her again.

Holodeck / excalibur

USS Excalibur - Sundays 10 ET - Command Staff: Cptn Swain, CdrMirandaHawthorne

Between 5/26/2024 9:07 PM and 5/26/2024 10:04 PM

MISSION BRIEFING: Excalibur is currently in orbit of the agricultural colony of Trakis III responding to a muddled distress call. Arriving, they have found the colony to be completely deserted. The AT has discovered the origin of the distress call, though it strangely appears to be placed sometime in the future. Both teams have now seen ghostly images of screaming colonists in different parts of the main building. All team members are now in the science labs where they've discovered a pulsing energy source of some sort in a containment unit. Its fluctuations coincide with the power outages in the complex. The power is currently on and the containment field is holding, but quickly degrading.

“Any idea what this is?” William motions to the thing.

Rex> A glowing blue thing

Irene's got her tricorder out and scanning it. "Aren't you the engineer?"

Rex> Aren't you the scientest

“I just got here.”

$Swain> Frowns, looking at the scanners Recalibrate them.

9:17 PM

$Clark> Wrinkles his nose) We've done that sir. It's not a calibration error.

Hmmmm. "Yeah, I'm the scientest you've got here, and I don't know what the hell this thing is, other than the containment field isn't going to last."

$Swain> Makes his way over to the science console Put a medical team on stand by.

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Checks his own tricorder.:: The containment field integrity is failing. It seems whatever is inside is drawing off the power grid. When we first found this object, the field was a higher percentage. If it continues to decay, it won't be able to come back online at all.

$Clark> S-s-sir. I am picking up a signal from the planet. It's not coming from our team though, but it is Federation. It looks like it's audio only from a small facility about 200 km south of the colony.

ACTION> More of those ghostly figures invade the science labs, streaming out of the energy source, then reverse and seem to get sucked back into it.

$Swain> Lifts a brow Put through.

“That’s not normal.”

^Harlys> This is Doctor William Harlys. We have been trying to reach the colonial administration with no success. We are requesting assistance.

9:22 PM

$Swain> Lifts a brow slightly higher Run that name and put me through, +Haryls+ This is Captain Asher Swain of the Excalibur. Can you provide your identification code on a separate channel.

Irene watches her tricorder while the science ghosts pop out of the energy source. "I don't know what it is, but I do know we don't want that thing to go offline."

Ens Reynolds> I don't think we should be in here, at all. Are those... p-p-people from this place? That are t-trapped in there?

^Harlys> +Swain+ Are we happy to hear your voice. What the heck is going on... and yes Captain, transmitting now.

“That’s what we need to figure out.”

"Just what is it holding back?"

$Clark> Looks over the code Checks out. And Dr. Harlys is listed as a lead researcher for a Federation biological team assigned to the colony.

9:25 PM

$Swain> Nods +Harlys+ What's your status.

Irene> "That is a very good assumption and a very good question. I know damn sure we don't want to end up inside it."

“Already did that once.”

^Haryls> We were on a scientific survey of the southern tropic regions. We were supposed to check in yesterday with the colony to finalize plans for our pick up.

Cdr Jalen Stanton> So how can we reinforce the containment field so that it stops draining the power?

$Rex> I see. We're... hit bit is lip Assisting the colony with some communications issues. It might best for us to bring you up here first and then we can talk more.

9:31 PM

^Harlys> I see. We'll send our coordinates.

9:31 PM

$Clark> Sir we might not want to use the transporters.

Irene> "It's draining enough power to kick every system in the complex off and back on. We need to either figure out what made it draw so much power or find an external source. What I'm afraid of is that its power draw is proportional to how many Starfleet guys are inside it..."

$Swain> What do you mean?

9:33 PM

$Clark> Well before the uh, the away team vanished... err dropped off the sensors, we'd been experiencing some issues with transporting power packs to the surface. I thought maybe it was just engineering goofing off, but well, I am not sure sure.

“Interesting hypothesis.”

$Swain> +Harlys+ Apologies Doctor, but instead of a transporter trip, we'll be sending a shuttle down to pick you up and bring you to Excalibur. I'll explain mroe when you get here.

9:34 PM

Rex> Well, we have a bunch of power packs for the Excalibur.

9:34 PM

Rex> Any chance we could find a way to recharge them?

9:34 PM

^Harlys> +Excalibur+ I see.

9:36 PM

$Swain> Dispatch a shuttle to the coordinates of the science team. Clark, pull up the transporter records and transfer them to my ready room.

9:36 PM

((Asher doing a Janeway))

9:38 PM

$Clark> Glances over to Val Yes sir.

Ens Reynolds> ::Looks to Will.:: We can't draw off the power here. Did they send down the solar array?

$Swain> And let me know when the doctor is brought on board. I want medical to do a full scan of them.

Val> Nods and exits as a supernumerary does. Another goldshirt takes over at the helm.

9:40 PM

Irene> "Couldn't we hook the solar array up to the power grid directly?"

Rex> Don't look at me. I just shoot things.

“Yeah, we could.”

$Swain> Transfers the transport records to his PADD and walks over to the replicator Tea, Gaoshan, hot.

Ens Reynolds> ::Nods and begins checking all of the cases he'd been toting around until he finds the array.::

(sorry, I've become lost)

((We’re all in Science.))

Rex> Glances to Stanton I could always shoot the blob.

:: Scanning everything she can ::

Irene> "That won't help."

Rex> It might!

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Eyes Rex.:: Perhaps if we have no other choice, but I fear it would just as likely use the power you give it to expand.

Rex> Fakes a pout

$ Val makes it down to the shuttle bay and into a shuttlecraft. +Bridge+ "Val to flight control, I'm ready to depart for the surface. Make sure to leave a five-star review of my taxi."

$Clark> +Val+ You are cleared for departure.

Ens Reynolds> Found it! I'll go put this outside. ::Eager to get out of the room with the glowing blob, anyhow.:: Sir, here's the linkage. ::Passes it to Will.::

$Swain> Tea in one hand, PADD in the other, he looked through the transporter records. They were mostly jibberish, or at least, jibberish to him. He wasn't an engineer and these things were made for them. He flipped through to the more interesting, at least to the astrophysicist, data.

“Thank you Reynolds.”

$ +Clark+ "Acknowledged, see you in half an hour." The shuttlecraft takes off, doing a barrel roll as it flies away from the ship. It decelerates out of orbit and heads for the science installation.

Rex> So, lets say we hook this bad boy upto solar power. What then?

“We keep the containment field up.” (edited)

Irene> "Right. Then we have time to figure out what to do."

Ens Reynolds> ::Hustles out before the power could go out again.::

Rex> Frowns and walks over to a small table and chairs to sit down, he was pretty much useless for all this save for some witty remarks.

9:55 PM

$Swain> Lifts a brow. Now that is interesting. Why would we have that sort of interference in a transporter beam and it not trip an alarm.

Irene gets out of there next. "OK, so, solar panels. Where are they?"

$Swain> Clips the section and continues looking through the records. Wouldn't explain a whole crew just disappearing.

9:57 PM

Rex> A Klingon, afraid of ghosts?

“There’s no such thing as ghosts.”

Rex> Except the ones I see when I close my eyes at night. But the meds help with that.

Irene> "Ghosts? No. Spheres that suck people in and leave them screaming to leave? Yes."

and Val gets to fly a shuttle

10:01 PM

to the tropics no less

Cptn Swain

Next week we see what happens when you give a blue blob MORE POWER

it becomes a white blob and you're invincible on MAP30 for about 20 seconds

Sorry for my confusion

Indaura, I feel like I’m confused about 25% of the time.

On Talon once we accidentally released the flood

Night, all. See you next week.

going to Cardassia where they met up with an old friend, Edvenent.
Manticore herself returned from a years long shakedown cruise and

dorsal module, a weapon known only as the Planet Killer. Manticore
was sent after it but wound up running into a group of mercenaries
they didn't expect and lost Captain McFly in the process. Kansas was
then sent in separately to find the module and slowly uncovered a
conspiracy involving high ranking Starfleet officers. Meanwhile,
Faldek's mission was to track down a theft of a Federation weapon.
After two years the mission seemed as if it may have been scrubbed
but they soon learned that it was restarted and was much larger
than original anticipated. Faldek discovered a new devastating
Dominion Battleship. Gila learned select Jem'Hadar soldiers were
being trained on Federation technology. And Edvenent found a
connection between their mission and the theft of the PK. Kansas
was able to track down the location of the module but found it had
already been moved. However she did retrieve McFly. Faldek, Gila &
Edvenent were instructed to stop the transfer of this large weapon
only to discover the location given to them was wrong. Eventually,
all parties found their way back to Manticore. They were able to
destroy the Dominion Battleship along with the PK. But their mission
may have uncovered a deep conspiracy and Kansas is intent on capturing
someone close to the Federation President. Manticore has returned to
Earth and they've just stumbled into a hornets nest. Manticore, and
Black Ops at large, is being locked down for reasons that have yet
to be revealed. Instead of returning heroes, they seem to be
returning criminals.

Oh it works. They tested it extensively on Constable Odo.

Are you telling me a group of Starfleet Officers poisoned the UFP President?

+Maelstrom+ Harnett here Captain Pilot.

Then start talking!

::holds out his arm, complying::

James Ryan> :: reaches for an item in his jacket :: The President is not to die.....

+Vertical+ Were you locked down as well?

:: Also holds out his arm ::

:::Looks at Smith::: I did a deep dive background check on everyone... Ryan fooled me... so far I am not a 100% on you

And what is that?

They have a bad setting. I remember they were developing countermeasures to the alliance's beam. They naturally had to have test subjects.

:: +Maelstrom + That we are, Captain.. that we are..

::Wishes he could be in his Science lab, he could repurpose a science sensor to communicate with the neighboring ships to try and get info on whats going on. Just a matter of reversing the polarity on the carrier beam, maybe a little modulation...::

+Vertical+ This has to be some kind of witch hunt...

Agent Smith> A top down audit is sure in need.....:: swears again :: But by someone else ti is going to be an external agency by sure...probably JAG

I was in the room where they were performing the tests. I even was allowed to fire one of the beams.

:: Raises an eyebrow :: + Maelstrom + That is one way to put it, ma'am.

James Ryan> :: places it on the table :: And you better hurry.....

((Be right back, dog demands to be let out))

::accepts the hypospray:: For the record, Ryan has given me a hypo for the president. +Comm+ Kansas, I have a possible antidote.

I wonder if a CetOps officer is part of the plan with these new visitors......

::looks at Bren and McFly; sighs:: Captain, Black Ops is on the verge of being mothballed. The loss of your classified module spooked a lot of people once word started to leak. Then, some "intel" was brought to our attention about Admiral Jaffee. With your failure to retrieve the module it was enough for StarFleet to make the final decision to dismantle the Black Ops program. I'll be straight with, Captain, not many people have particularly cared for the Black Ops program. Especially when other more... clandestine, operations exist. It was only a matter of time until the word could be given. The good news for you is that Manticore and most of the other ships aren't particularly being held to blame. More like, you were just following orders. Manticore will most likely be reassigned once the dust settles in this situation. So you and your crew can start to relax.

Oh, we are doing this now then.

That'd be news to me.

Agent Smith> You can't possibly administer an antidote to the President from Ryan......:: looks at Kennicke ::

What choice do I have

Mr. Ryan you stay here.

::Runs out of the room and into the connfrance room with EJ:: Lets hope this works

James Ryan> :: looks to the Klingon :: Very well...

::hands the hypo to KK:: It should be analyzed first.

::processing what Moore is saying while reviewing biobed display::

Quickly...would be better.

ACTION> THE MEDICAL TEAM ATTENDING TO THE PRESIDENT ATTEMPTS TO STOP KANSAS WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT THE HYPO SPRAY CONTAINS

James Ryan> The President Must live....

Callista Tyrel

James Ryan> The President Must live....

((Invaders_Must_Die.mp3))

::still a little fuzzy in the head:: That's a lot to take in. I'm not sure how to respond to all of that.

::Pushes people away and Hypos the Prez... with some hope it works::

As I said, it's best you continue to rest in sickbay. ::offers an older gentlemanly smile::

I'd like to see this intel you have on Jaffee.

I'm sorry that's classified above your rank.

Agent Smith> :: looks to Kansas in disbelief :: What have you done?

Saved the Day?

Then give me special privilege.

This is why I tasted everything before him

Agent Smith> :: looks down to the President awaiting the results......::

ACTION> THE PRESIDENT'S VITALS SLOWLY START RETURNING TO NORMAL

::checks status of the Captain's medications on the biobed, and notes that he could give him another hypospray for pain soon::

+Kansas+ Status?

Are you satisfied we are who we say we are?

ACTION> HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS THE MEDICAL TEAM INSIDE THE CARDASSIAN HOLDING ROOM LEAVES ALONG WITH THE SECURITY DETAIL

1

+EJ+ Looking good

::Rubs his temples, wondering how the heck he's going to get Jaffee's endorsement on his application if she's gone traitor ((lol)), and hoping against hope that McFly will lay this Admiral out like a poorly-replicated rug:: (edited)

+KK+ Greeat!

They seemed elated.

Would it not be easier to write all this down?

Agent Smith> :: exhales noting things seem to be returning to normal :: Begging your pardon Agent Kennickie you haven't been around to be the President's tester,

9:40 PM

James Ryan> :: audibly exhales in relief hearing the news ::

Someone should always be the tester

I can't do that Captain. I understand your concern but you must trust the system. We'll take care of this.

::glances at Orrak:: Are you okay?

((Take him hostage!!))

9:40 PM

((I am kidding...))

A solid result. So now what?

James Ryan> The antidote worked? :: to the Klingon ::

::nods to Ryan:: It would seem so.

::begins preparing another hypospray for the Captain while continuing to listen to the conversation with the Admiral::

:::Grabs lamp and yanks the wire out, starts to tie up Jaffee:: (edited)

Nice pun. Now they probably interview us, one by one and check that our stories are the same.

:: Steps off the Vertical's starboard bridge turbolift with four security officers, and a jerky smirk on his face :: Alright, all of you are hereby relived of duty, you are ordered to leave the bridge, go to your quarters, or lounges... the bridge, main engineering, science facilities, armories have been locked down and are under guard...

James Ryan> There is a poison from the President's Homeworld....some sort of fungus.....that attacks the nervous system of the President's species....and only his species...it won't harm anyone else....the scary thing about the Poison is it's delievery method....

How can our stories be the same during our time there? I was siphoned off to a medical facility. Plus given false information. Seems the Dominion only trusts us so far.

Agent Smith> You really think the Consul General did this? :: Notes Kansas having no mercy on the CG ::

::returns back to her quarters after a few drinks and some dinner::

:: leans against a wall ::

( correction : Mercifully not killing the CG outright ....)

I walked in on her

The hell you will. The system rarely works the way it was intended. ::gathers all his strength to stand up straight and look the admiral in the eye:: You know what I think? I think you're one of those that were just waiting to dismantle black ops. I think, you don't really care about truth only what can further your own agenda. Elaine Jaffee has been nothing but utmost superb of officers and for you to just take the word of some random intel tells me all I need to about what's actually going on here. Make no mistake, Admiral, you can either give me that intel through proper channels now or I will obtain it. And those that refuse to work with me, I will have no problem allowing to fall when the truth does come out.

:: Still in a lounge on the manticore, now able to see the Docked U.S.S. Vertical ::

Everything will fall into place... Unless someone did something they weren't supposed to. Have faith in the system.

Kansas Kenickie ( ON Earth)

:::Grabs lamp and yanks the wire out, starts to tie up Jaffee:: (edited)

((Do lamps still have wires coming out of them in the 24th century?))

James Ryan> It is a contact poison....And ...if I were you .....I'd initiate a tricorder sweep around the President's office...and...recent vistors to the President..what they came in contact with.

Captain McFly

((Do lamps still have wires coming out of them in the 24th century?))

why not

I have one question but its completely irrelevant to anything

10:06 PM

and I dont want to hold anyone up lol

Hold them up I say!

I solemnly swear I wasn't thinking of this for in-game terms, but I was like... the ships get overriden because they have those codes that let you totoally pwn a ship. BUt do starbases have them? Why or why not?

I don't know. That's a good question.

oooh ooh, also, wheh Mooore said something about alternatives to Black Ops which he liked better, did he mean Section 31?

10:07 PM

IS HE A BADDIE?

10:08 PM

lets phaser him to be sure and ask forgiveness later

Maybe they don't because they're not mobile and the idea for the ships is that if they are hijacked you can take it back? I don't know.

ivolunteeeeeeeeeeer

Yes that was a hint about section 31.

31 isn't so bad

And no, S31 isn't exactly the bad guys here.

10:08 PM

He was just saying why have more than one.

10:09 PM

Which basically what I asked A9 all those years ago but alas I never got an answer.

Aren't S31 always the bad guys? Here, there, and everywhere?

They're not really bad guys, they just do thing morally grey things to ensure protection of the Federation.

which sounds totally smart to me

Oh

Reed was a good guy.

And despite what Nu-Trek tries to tell us, S31 is not supposed to be a widely known entity. In fact, only the highest of the highest actually know S31 even exists.

No joke, I swear, I always thought they were supposed to be evil boogeymen, like never ever in the right snidely whiplash mine is an evil laugh type role

You keep Lt Reed's name out ya mouth!

TheMoreYouKnow.gif

I am just being silly.

Nope, they're not bad. Sloan in DS9 might be considered a bad guy but the actual group is not.

Huh, neato

10:11 PM

I like morally gray lol

So do I! That's why this sim is the way it is.

Now in the Kelvin timeline S31 might be considered bad.

lol

Kelvin timeline can go suck a dead horse.

That timeline is cool and all but I kinda wish we could go back and away from it

Holodeck / excalibur

USS Excalibur - Sundays 10 ET - Command Staff: Cptn Swain, CdrMirandaHawthorne

Between 5/19/2024 9:08 PM and 5/19/2024 10:09 PM

MISSION BRIEFING: Excalibur is currently in orbit of the agricultural colony of Trakis III responding to a muddled distress call. Arriving, they have found the colony to be completely deserted. The AT has discovered the origin of the distress call, though it strangely appears to be placed sometime in the future. Both teams have now seen ghostly images of screaming colonists in different parts of the main building. Irene and Indaura have discovered a pulsing energy source of some sort in a containment unit in the science labs, and its fluctuations coincide with the power outages in the complex.

I apologize as I’m still at dinner (my niece has demanded I stay for the “cake she made”)

Jealous.

Yeah

9:10 PM

Didn't we also disappear?

Well, did you? Or are the comms just down? ::eyebrow arch::

Excalibur can't track you, in any case.

"Ok, let's have a good think." (edited)

"Yes, just what is going on here?"

ACTION> The power is still off. The comms aren't working. The ball of energy is still pulsing. And ghostly images of people are growing brighter and more frequent.

9:20 PM

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::With Indaura, he shook his head, staring at the energy source. He tapped his comm badge again, but it fizzled.:: I don't know, Doctor.

"Ok, the apparitions are getting brighter."

Rex> And before the Commander's comm cut, he said they'd found something. I think we should go see for ourselves.

"Remember how to get where he was?"

"Yes, let's." starts humming an old Earth tune regarding busting ghosts.

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Gestures to the energy pulse.:: Get whatever readings you can.

"What's with the energy?"

ACTION> As the stressed power nodes recovered, the lights came back on, and the containment field surrounding the energy ball strengthened, but only to 43%.

9:32 PM

Ens Reynolds> Yes! Power! Let's run before the lights go off again. ::Hurrying to the lift.::

"Do you want to be stuck on a lift with ghosts if the power goes down again?"

(( Indaura -- you're still in the science lab with the glowing ball of energy, so there's no need for you to go anywhere. The other team is coming to you. ))

(oh, sorry)

William starts climbing the stairs

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Walking around the containment field with his tricorder to get his own readings.:: The containment field is lessening the energy output, but it's straining to hold it. Already, it's down three percent.

"It's...You didn't take pre-war Earth history at the Academy did you?"

Ens Reynolds> Uh... I suck at history. That's why I'm an engineer.

"Fair enough."

"Enough that I can make the occasional pop culture reference."

"One can dream they're understood."

(Oh god, I lost track of time. Sorry. Irene is in the bathroom or something.)

(sorry, local issue)

"Yes sir."

This better not be some kind of temporal thing.

(( two minute warning ))

10:00 PM

William walks into Science with the rest of his crew. "Well, it'd be normal for us wouldn't it?"

Note, we will be going on vacation so there will not be a sim next week.

So, last time we found a way to maybe effect the large crystalized area nearby. We're ready to send a test device into the caves, and our other research is starting to show some progress.

Do we have a good link to the device in the cave?

Link is holding at 93%

::working in medbay::

::checking on supplies going to the temporarily relocated settlers::

::Mimi:: Hows the best way to test this on the effected zone outside?

By starting with the 45/55 ratio of the two tests and the frequency of 185 and slowly working our way up, while trying to destroy the cave in the process.

:: materializes :: Well, the medical bay is still here. Doctor?

Yes, yes it is. ::looks around::

Test is as soon as possible.

::nods::

I cannot reliably determine how long the signal will hold.

I'm ready to start any ways, Nijil.

Get as much data as you can. Knowing what power sources attract the crystals is important.

At your command doctor.

let's begin. ::enters the appropriate tests measurements and the frequency:: Starting with frequency 185

ACTION: Slight increase in heat at target areas. Micro scans showing some results.

Hope the testing goes well.

:: Watching the readings on his console ::

9:21 PM

:: Looks at the doctor :: A rise in temperature.

::sees the results:: Interesting. I'm keeping the ratio the same and increasing the frequency to 190.

ACTION: Heat generation staying steady.

And these are lower register tones.

I would go out there and help, but I am emitter-limited.

Let's see what a large enough jump in frequency does. Increasing the frequency to 200.

Mm, yes that this limiting isn't it?

ACTION: Getting a slight feedback as the frequency hits a resonance with the large crystal dome.

We're getting a slight feedback. ::see where it's hitting:: The frequency seems to hit a resonance with the large crystal dome.

Getting feedback.

::checking the equipment:: All levels in the green still.

::sending assurances that the crew is working on the situation and hoping to have the colonists back to their homes ASAP::

Not being real is limiting, no matter how much it was explained to me.

Do we increase frequency and amplitude?

Yeah, that's true enough. You holding out okay?

If everything is still stable, you're good to increase.

Understood, increase the frequency to 205 and the amplitude to 47/53

ACTION: Feedback decreases, heat output increases slightly. A millimeter of crystal has now been removed from the test location.

More heat. :: taps on the console ::

::looks at the results:: The feedback has decreased, heat output has increased a bit. Also looks like millimeter of crystals been removed.

: :: Flickers :: Ah! What was that?

Progress. Now only a kilometer more to go.

Ok gonna increase the frequency 210

ACTION: Readings steady

The power flickered for a second. Are you okay Muuhi?

Increasing the frequency to 215

::checking some of the readings:: System is still stable.

How far away are they testing? :: looks around, puzzled :: If I did not know any better I am seeing in infrared.

Hmm... seems to react when there's big jumps. Increasing the frequency to 225

Hmm, some kilometres away.

ACTION: Resonance detected again

Another resonance.

::notices the resonance:: There's that again adjusting the amp to 48/52

:: Flickers again :: There I go again.

Did we pay the hydro bill?

ACTION: Several other spots of heat detected on the crystal, spacing matching the resonance points.

Hmmm...

The thing isn't going to shatter, is it?

Hope not

I do not believe so.

Now I am seeing in...ultraviolet.

Oooh, I'd like to see in ultraviolet

I'm like an insect. The holographic sensors must be affected, but so far away?

there's been a lot of that recently.

I need Niji to fix me when he is finished.

Yes, again.

We will have to go through the entire sequence to get an accurate reading on this crystal.

Agreed.

I believe we should end the test and check our readings. I'm noticing a slight decrees in sensor clarity.

Manticore had been destroyed. Two years later, the crew of the
Manticore-B had been splintered. Kansas was reassigned off the
ship to a new position guarding the Federation President. Faldek
had been given a special assignment which lead to him and Gila
going to Cardassia where they met up with an old friend, Edvenent.
Manticore herself returned from a years long shakedown cruise and
returned to Starbase -REDACTED- to be fitted with a new dorsal
module. During a conference on the lunar colony, Kansas was able
to thwart an assassination attempt on the President. This proved to
be a distraction for the real mission, the theft of Manticore's
dorsal module, a weapon known only as the Planet Killer. Manticore
was sent after it but wound up running into a group of mercenaries
they didn't expect and lost Captain McFly in the process. Kansas was
then sent in separately to find the module and slowly uncovered a
conspiracy involving high ranking Starfleet officers. Meanwhile,
Faldek's mission was to track down a theft of a Federation weapon.
After two years the mission seemed as if it may have been scrubbed
but they soon learned that it was restarted and was much larger
than original anticipated. Faldek discovered a new devastating
Dominion Battleship. Gila learned select Jem'Hadar soldiers were
being trained on Federation technology. And Edvenent found a
connection between their mission and the theft of the PK. Kansas
was able to track down the location of the module but found it had
already been moved. However she did retrieve McFly. Faldek, Gila &
Edvenent were instructed to stop the transfer of this large weapon
only to discover the location given to them was wrong. Eventually,
all parties found their way back to Manticore. They were able to
destroy the Dominion Battleship along with the PK. But their mission
may have uncovered a deep conspiracy and Kansas is intent on capturing
someone close to the Federation President. Manticore has returned to
Earth and they've just stumbled into a hornets nest.

@Energy emission? Is it related to the Ferengi bombardment?

::continuing to send out distress signal, making sure it's Federation standard::

::still watching the ferengi::

@Arc science> Negative. It's coming from a place that was not bombarded. Bearing 150 mark 30 on the planet's surface.

9:12 PM

@Arc science> It's weak, but it looks like a signal.

9:12 PM

@ Try to clear it up.

:: Watching ::

Natell, is there anything you can do to help Dana troubleshoot? (edited)

::trying to fiddle with the system to boost power to the transmitter::

@Arc science> Got it! It's a frequency modulated signal.

Let me give it a look. :: walks over to Dana ::

@Arc science> Working on making sense of it

The dilithium is making getting a signal through pretty tough.

9:16 PM

::boosting power as much as he can::

@ Where is that signal coming from? I thought all signals were blocked due to the dilithium content of the planet

Commander, you have to not push too much power into the transmitter or you will either blow it out or only transmit noise.

@Arc science> Good question, sir. The source is located in a crater and it's on the surface

9:17 PM

@Arc science> Definitely of artificial construction

Fair point. ::tempers his boosting of power::

@Arc science> The signal is becoming a bit clearer now... I'm sending it through denoising algorithms, we'll have it about 75%

::wonders if the signal is problematic, alternates standard distress signal with Morse code reading SOS ARCADIA DANA::

::wonders if tying up hostile ferengi is a court-martialable offense::

Yes, keep the signal simple.

@Arc science> sir, the signal has changed to a dot code. The computer is identifying it as a distress code. With 90% confidence, it says "SOS ARCADIA DANA"

9:21 PM

@ Can we transmit on the same frequency using the same encoding?

9:21 PM

@Arc science> Yes, sir. The E/M radio system should be bidirectional. Whether they have a receiver on the other end is uncertain.

9:32 PM

(( It's running Windows 95 ))

((no chance of, you know, stopping the bombardment, I assume?))

((how many places are getting bombarded right now???)) (edited)

@ Arc eng> The good news, sir, is that we have conclusively located the transmitter and the wiring it is coming from. The bad news is that it is connected to a wired system that goes under the dilithium-coated surface of the planet. The sensor signals are still completely scrambled

9:34 PM

::there aren't actually any humans present, but he wonders if he should be offended on their behalf::

::humans are pretty simple, like a very fragile puny klingon::

Ferengi> Maybe not than Klingons

are you trying to insult me?

Ferengi> I would never do that...

9:42 PM

@Arc eng> Captain, there may be a way to trace the wire

9:43 PM

@ How?

::thinks he's getting closer on the receiver...bypass the secondary relays...overclock the flux capacitor...::

@Arc eng> Dilithium scrambles our communications freqencies, but there are some low B-band E/M frequencies that it won't scramble.

9:44 PM

@Arc eng> If we send them through the wire, it will become a transmitter, because the wire itself will trasmit

9:44 PM

@ Do it

Are our signals getting threw?

any reply yet?

Not that I can see, but I'm also not sure the receiver is even working at the moment. I think...that should bring it online! ::puts final touches on fix::

@Arc sci> We will have to stop transmitting our reply signal in order to transmit the B-band through the wire

::turns down receiver volume for the moment, at least::

Arc eng> We have the B-band, at least as far as the wire will transmit it.

Is the a light-speed transmitter?

@Arc eng> It looks like there's a whole network of wires down there. Some of them are clearly dead-ends

9:54 PM

@Arc eng> But there are 2 nodes where multiple wires intersect

@Arc sci> Aye

::is very happy the screching stopped, but can't seem to figure out what went wrong::

I mean, I didn't do anything to make it stop. Maybe it was picking up some weird kind of interference?

maybe the signal it was picking up stopped or changed

It almost seemed like a transmitted pattern...it was modulating at very reglar intervals.

it could be one

::pulls up a waveform of the last couple of minutes of sound on his tricorder::

@ Arc sci> We can drill through the surface with a phaser.

10:01 PM

((MORE DRILLING IS ABSOLUTELY THE ANSWER RIGHT NOW))

@ Will it collapse the rock?

= Manticore had been destroyed. Two years later, the crew of the Manticore-B had been splintered. Kansas was reassigned off the ship to a new position guarding the Federation President. Faldek had been given a special assignment which lead to him and Gila going to Cardassia where they met up with an old friend, Edvenent. Manticore herself returned from a years long shakedown cruise and returned to Starbase -REDACTED- to be fitted with a new dorsal module. During a conference on the lunar colony, Kansas was able to thwart an assassination attempt on the President. This proved to be a distraction for the real mission, the theft of Manticore's dorsal module, a weapon known only as the Planet Killer. Manticore was sent after it but wound up running into a group of mercenaries they didn't expect and lost Captain McFly in the process. Kansas was then sent in separately to find the module and slowly uncovered a conspiracy involving high ranking Starfleet officers. Meanwhile, Faldek's mission was to track down a theft of a Federation weapon. After two years the mission seemed as if it may have been scrubbed but they soon learned that it was restarted and was much larger than original anticipated. Faldek discovered a new devastating Dominion Battleship. Gila learned select Jem'Hadar soldiers were being trained on Federation technology. And Edvenent found a connection between their mission and the theft of the PK. Kansas was able to track down the location of the module but found it had already been moved. However she did retrieve McFly. Faldek, Gila & Edvenent were instructed to stop the transfer of this large weapon only to discover the location given to them was wrong. Eventually, all parties found their way back to Manticore. They were able to destroy the Dominion Battleship along with the PK. But their mission may have uncovered a deep conspiracy and Kansas is intent on capturing someone close to the Federation President. Manticore has returned to Earth and they've just stumbled into a hornets nest. = starfleet

Any luck on disolving the crystals?

Somewhat... these two ::points:: show some decrease. The others not so much

That's good.

9:16 PM

I would like to test anything that shows some results on that big crystalized chunk of the terrain out there.

Containment levels are holding.

Now, do either of those involve anything as easy as throwing a bucket of water on them?

(If only)

Since both are showing some progress... I want to see if both combined would work.

Keep working on it.

::nods and runs more tests at different frequencies::

::Nijil:: Anything more from the signal?

Let me display what it has so far. :: throws it up on the big display ::

::getting the readouts of what seems to be working, ensures supplies of those substances are prepared for any further tests::

That looks, garbled. I suppose the repeating parts could be echoes. Signal seems elongated in some parts and compacted in others.

9:25 PM

Signal traveling through different mediums?

9:26 PM

Or I hope so, otherwise we're looking at temporal delays and that's never fun.

Let's hope it is different mediums. Would explain the refractions.

Any type of signal we could try that would be less distorted? Direct beam, rapid pulse. charades?

How many crystals in the caverns are we talking?

From what we witness, nearly none. They only seemed to form on our power sources.

9:29 PM

But that doesn't mean there aren't more somewhere else.

9:30 PM

Still unclear if they would grow on more natural energy sources. Thermal heat perhaps. Static currents. Not sure.

9:31 PM

Now, if you can work out a way to scan for and locate these crystals, that might help us find what we were originally looking for.

9:32 PM

And also calculate possible interference.

:: Still in medical checking charts and supplies ::

::still working on the various frequencies::

Perhaps if we replicate the conditions from which these crystals formed.

::Jyl:: What's the current weather forecast? Just had the bad throught of what another thunderstorm would do to these things.

9:35 PM

::Nijil:: That is part of the containment we've set up.

+Syl+ Clear right now, clouds coming from the west. Nothing in the next few watches, but there's the possibility of a front coming in after that.

::Nijil:: Have a team prepare a test device, with different energy types. Make it something we can beam into the caves and then beam out and see what crystal growth is like on different energy signals.

Hmmm... ::tilts her head a bit:: Well, that's something.

Aye, preparing now.

What do you have?

The combination of 45/55 of the two tests that worked as well as the frequency of 185

Very promising. Can we recreate those on a test of the crystalized terrain?

I believe so

The test device is ready. Transport in now?

Next question, can it be upscaled?

9:52 PM

::Nijil:: ::nods:: Cleared to deploy.

Possibly

Beaming in... :: does so ::

Good, I'd rather not blight the land for a thousand years trying to clear that thing out.

Manticore had been destroyed. Two years later, the crew of the
Manticore-B had been splintered. Kansas was reassigned off the
ship to a new position guarding the Federation President. Faldek
had been given a special assignment which lead to him and Gila
going to Cardassia where they met up with an old friend, Edvenent.
Manticore herself returned from a years long shakedown cruise and
returned to Starbase -REDACTED- to be fitted with a new dorsal
module. During a conference on the lunar colony, Kansas was able
to thwart an assassination attempt on the President. This proved to
be a distraction for the real mission, the theft of Manticore's
dorsal module, a weapon known only as the Planet Killer. Manticore
was sent after it but wound up running into a group of mercenaries
they didn't expect and lost Captain McFly in the process. Kansas was
then sent in separately to find the module and slowly uncovered a
conspiracy involving high ranking Starfleet officers. Meanwhile,
Faldek's mission was to track down a theft of a Federation weapon.
After two years the mission seemed as if it may have been scrubbed
but they soon learned that it was restarted and was much larger
than original anticipated. Faldek discovered a new devastating
Dominion Battleship. Gila learned select Jem'Hadar soldiers were
being trained on Federation technology. And Edvenent found a
connection between their mission and the theft of the PK. Kansas
was able to track down the location of the module but found it had
already been moved. However she did retrieve McFly. Faldek, Gila &
Edvenent were instructed to stop the transfer of this large weapon
only to discover the location given to them was wrong. Eventually,
all parties found their way back to Manticore. After a brief briefing
they determine the best course of action is to destroy the module
now located on the new devastating Dominion Battleship. They send a
team over to sabotage the PK but weren't able to reach the control
room before the battleship was able to demonstrate its power on an
unsuspecting planet. With the aide of the Vertical, Maelstrom and
Kieran, they were able to destroy the Dominion Battleship along
with the PK. But now, Kansas has some unfinished business to
attend to.

= Manticore had been destroyed. Two years later, the crew of the Manticore-B had been splintered. Kansas was reassigned off the ship to a new position guarding the Federation President. Faldek had been given a special assignment which lead to him and Gila going to Cardassia where they met up with an old friend, Edvenent. Manticore herself returned from a years long shakedown cruise and returned to Starbase -REDACTED- to be fitted with a new dorsal module. During a conference on the lunar colony, Kansas was able to thwart an assassination attempt on the President. This proved to be a distraction for the real mission, the theft of Manticore's dorsal module, a weapon known only as the Planet Killer. Manticore was sent after it but wound up running into a group of mercenaries they didn't expect and lost Captain McFly in the process. Kansas was then sent in separately to find the module and slowly uncovered a conspiracy involving high ranking Starfleet officers.

Thank Kahless, they didn't pursue!

Am I dying Doc?

9:07 PM

::Smirks::

::finishes off the bottle, grabs another and pops the top off::

::to KK:: I do not believe your wounds will be fatal. However, it will take some time for them to fully heal.

:: Looking at a display in medical ::

So I am fine then

9:09 PM

::Winces:: Almost fine

LtJg Lug> :: looks at Callista :: Doc will be with you shortly....just take it easy...

::heard about Calli and is concerned as well::

You need to take it easy. You were... weren't you exploded?

:: Taps away at Ops ::

I believe, "fine" may be a bit of an overstatement. I can give you some medication for your immediate pain, but you will need to give me more time to repair all your injuries.

Nurse Mallory> :: arrives at Callista and begins rudimentary evaluation :::

I was near the expostion

9:11 PM

I need to talk to whom ever is incharge right now tho

::stands from his chair and looks at Karl:: Ensure they are most definitely headed home.

::applies hypo with pain reliever to KK while listening to her discussion with McFly::

:: reaches for her abdomen which Nurse Mallory Notices......where shrapnel is present :: (edited)

9:12 PM

(whoops )

:: speaks up :: We'd rather you rest on your own volition Commander.

::Taps console:: everyone is heading to their repestive homes

Nurse Mallory> Going to give you something for the pain....also to help you rest....You have numerous shrapnel wounds... :: adminsters hypo ::

::to KK:: I believe Commander Faliver would be in charge now. You may use the comm system to contact him, if you wish. ::starts running dermal regenerator over some of her wounds::

+Bridge+ This is Kansas, I need to talk to someone in command.. it is very important

You need to stop being you and listen to the doctor. You were nearly killed.

Remote surveying has commenced.....there will be new Carpet installed there again for sure....there is evidence of thermal damage to the deck in the immediate vicinity of the explosion.

:: Goes over to Kansas, looks at her chart :: You had quite an adventure. Weapon destroyed though?

+Comm+ Kansas, what's wrong?

::nods to Gila:: Mission completed

:: goes to sleep on biobed ::

::nods in appreciation of McFly's comment, continues running dermal regenerator on KK::

In Engineering? ::swims by Banks:: It held up pretty vell all things considered.

+EJ+ We have a sabator in our mits (edited)

9:16 PM

::Looks up at McFly:: I like almost getting killed.. you know that (edited)

Sounds like a solid outcome. What is the human expression? Wrapped up in a bow?

The blast seemed to have focused not in the direction of the warp cores...but the area in between where the senior officers were..

A tomater? ::overhears::

I do. And your actions have consequences. That consequence being you spend a few days in sickbay. (edited)

I don't particularly care for tomaters

+Kansas+ Ready room forthwith. (edited)

:: sleeps on biobed as Nurse Mallory stabilizes Callista ::

. We're lucky it didn't hit the vard core... otherwise none of us would still be around. Hope they're ok.

+EJ+ I am currently in sickbay, I believe a few people wont let me leave

:: Compiling a work order for ship repairs ::

+KK+ I'll come to you.

No information available on Chief Jaenke. Lt Cdr Tyrel is in sickbay, she was closest to the Cloaking Device when it failed.

::about to make a comment about not letting KK leave...but then nods when EJ says he'll come here::

::looks at the bridge crew:: You are hereby ordered not to mention anything you heard on that comm.

ok

Can I get something for the sour stomach Doc

:: Nods ::

::moves to the TL:: Sickbay.

::nods to KK:: Of course.

Aside from the damage in Main Engineering the ship appears to only suffered cosmetic damage to the hull...Mr. Sven.

::to Gila:: I hope so. Now we just need another new PK.

::Squeezes McFly's hand:: I am good. it;s just a scratch

Vell that's good. The hoomans should be able to fix that vithout our help.

9:22 PM

Hope Tyrel will be ok though. I kinda like the cut of her jib.

::looks at the readouts of scans regarding KK stomach condition, then obtains the proper dosage of medication and applies hypo::

I ponder if a replacement PK is in the works. Or will an oversight committee not allow Manticore to have another after this incident.

Vhat about my psyche?! I do nots appreciate being on a ship with so much recklessness!

::squeezes her hand back; looks into her eyes:: No, it's not.

we could be retired if the Consul General's Office is investigated for this.

it's like going for a spin in the dryer

:: He looked worn out and scratched all over. His need to stabilize the deck overrode his good sense. ::

Mhmm

Neither do I, to be honest. If they do give us another PK Module, maybe ve should go there and have it installed where it was manufactured this time.

::raises eyebrow at KK's description of her condition, but continues working on addressing her injuries without commenting::

Our days of having such a powerful device onboard may be over.

::Keeps on scanning::

You believe this conflict can be one with a superweapon? Have your enemies submit before you?

I did vant to see vat it was capable of. A shame, really. But, it did completely obliterate that planet.

::walks into the Sickbay::

ensign Sparks> :: walks over to Erich Jaenke :: Sir....we have stabilized all conduits in the area of the explosion. No plasma leaks have been detected. Nor have we found any shrapnel impacts to either warp core.

::nods to EJ as he enters, then continues tending to KK's injuries::

::Props herself up, winces:: Ej!

Hmm? ::looks over at Gila:: What?... No, that's just what our special ship ability is. Like, you know, if we were a science ship we'd have a science module. I just feel kind of naked without it.

::looks to Tevek and other doctors:: Is there an office we can use or more so private I'd hate to ask everyone to move or leave.

::leans too far back, falling out of his chair, but thankfully not spilling the Kanar:: Oof! ::gets up and moves over to the couch::

::Looks over at EJ:: Tell her to take it easy. She's not listening to me... again.

:: Tapping away at Ops ::

New asteroid field will be on the star charts where the planet was.

Cdr. Faldek

::leans too far back, falling out of his chair, but thankfully not spilling the Kanar:: Oof! ::gets up and moves over to the couch::

((I'm sure that stuff isn't easy to spill, it's thick as hell))

::to EJ:: You may use on of the medical officer's offices, sir. ::gestures in the direction::

Nothing left but planet crumbs.

::to KK:: Be careful moving to the office. I cannot give you any more pain medication at this time.

::nods:: Kansas, let's go there.

::Slids off the Bio-bed carefully and follow EJ with McFly's help::

::dims the lights and puts the Kanar on the table, passing out::

((I'm here now))

((Yay!))

::lets her lean on him and he walks her to the office; doesn't let it show that it actually kind of hurts for her to be using him as a crutch::

:::Holds her side, breaths heavy::

:: Looks Kansas over as they help her up ::

We need to head to Earth :::Takes a seat::

James Ryan (earth) > :: The Presidential Security Officer sits on a bench near the Presidential office at a public park, noting the beautiful scenery provided to Federation bureaucrats in the government sector....he takes a sip from some caf while watching the scenery.... ::

Why Earth?

::Waits for the door to close::

:::watches KK and McFly head to the office; then heads over to Callista's biobed and checks her readouts::

Jame Ryan (earth)> :: ryan causally looks to the left armrest of the bench and notices a blue mark on the bench...that tells him there is a message awaiting him....::

There is a spy in the Presidential security team... I figured him out while looking into this while Vorta Jemmie deal

::Enters the sick bay at a fast clip, looking around for the returnees::

::looks at her:: Did you know this when we were on the Dominion ship?

::Grabs the Hypo off the desk and adjusts it for more pain meds... hypos herself"::

Nurse Mallory> Doctor Tevek... :: the Bolian Nurse begins a briefing :: Patient has numerous minor burns...and shrapnel wounds, a rather large piece of sharpnel has taken residence in her abdomen. :: activates screen ::

:: Keeps an eye on the readout at Ops ::

::Finds himself outside the Medical Office::

Sorta

What stopped you from mentioning that before we left though?

::snatches it from her hands just as she presses the button:: Tevek said no more!

it isn't something that can go over Comms... we need to handle this in person

Nurse Mallory> :: gestures on screen :: It appears to have penetrated her right Kidney..she must of been facing away when the wall exploded

I understand, and you're correct it isn't something you handle over the comms.

I had left word with someone else to handle it.. but he hasn't returned my Comms

:: Walks down the corridor, stops at Faldek's door and presses the chime ::

Do you have any evidence to back this up?

::grumbles, rolling over::

:: Goes over to Callista ::

:: Presses the chime for a second time ::

::Looks at Bren while he enters:: While I was on Earth there was another officer I worked with And I totally trusted.. but he fooled me

Glad to see you back in fewer than 3 pieces.

::shouts:: Come!

Captain Faliver, welcome!

1

::listens, nodding to Nurse Mallory's presentation, looking at the display and contemplating how to address the wounds::

he fooled all my background checks and then some

:: Steps inside :: Are you...drunk?

James Ryan ( Earth )> :: sets his hand on the rail of the bench...then retrieving a small paper from under the rail ...and into his sleeve in a well rehearsed jesture ::

Nah, maybe, nah. ::doesn't get up:: Bottle is on table.

So he lied to get appointed?

::raises an eyebrow at EJ when saying "Captain"; continues listening::

He had to have had help

Nurse Mallory> IN my opinion surgery is needed to remove this before further damage is created.

:: Shakes his head :: You are definitely drunk... :: Walks to the table and pours a glass ::

::looks at McFly:: You have been hanging around Harnett or Tevek too much.

::rubs her side:: his name is Jame Ryan. I left him in charge of the detail when I left the Pres (edited)

::nods:: I agree with your assessment, Nurse.

::nodding:: If we show up, would he suspect anything?

James Ryan ( earth) > :: continues drinking his coffee noting some children at play in the park . How peaceful. The war has not arrived yet here on Earth...soon he fears it will....::

We can send an encrypted comm to Jaffee and she can take care of it. (edited)

I doubt it

:: Taps away at Ops, keeping an eye on systems and things ::

Bad mission, planet destroyed, lots of murder. We won.

I want to take him down myself ::Looks at McFly::

Dr. Tevek, how long will it take for the shrapnel to be removed? Perhaps it can be done on the way to Earth...?

You're in no shape to be able to do that. Like literally.

the doc will have me patched up by the time we get to Earth

:: Takes a sip, sitting in a chair :: Yes, well done... I saw that bloody ship from my window....glad its gone.

James Ryan ( earth) > :: stands and returns to his sentry duty of the President. While walking , Ryan could not help but wonder why he had to pick up a drop so suddenly....something must of happened. But he would have to wait to find out after his duty shift at home....::

You can barely walk...

You can't go after terrorist who got by even your security checks on patches.

right now... in a few hours I can do so much more

::opens one eye:: Kansas almost died.

::to KK:: Says you. What about the doctor?

I don't care what the Doctor says I am going to Earth I get that Jerkface myself

::to Nurse Mallory and Dr. Orrak:: I think we should begin preparing for the surgery to remove the shrapnel now. If another patient needs attention, either I or Dr. Orrak can tend to them, and the other of us can continue with the surgery.

Not from this ship you're not.

You have to care what the Doctor says.... Tevek can have every one of us removed from duty.

:: Looks at Faldek :: Kansas? Oh, the violent lady you were planning the mission with?

Nurse Mallory> I will begin preperations immediately.

Yuuupp.

You aren't alone, Kansas. Why can't we radio Jafffee? It's not a weakness to ask for help.

::to Bren:: With medical cause.

Lt. Cmdr EJ Pilot

::to Bren:: With medical cause.

::to Pilot:: Irrelevant. Who determines whether there is medical cause? (edited)

::nods:: Thank you nurse.

:: Takes another sip :: What happened?

I don't trust the Comm's to keep this in house

Yeah and you don't want to have the doctor remove you from duty. That's like, the greatest command embarrassment. You should hear what they say in the Captain's lounge... it's not nice.

I have no clue. She went to engineering to stop the ship.

There has to be someone else you trust?

::to Bren:: Starfleet. A doctor can only relieve us with medical cause. Otherwise it is irrelevant. And a Doctor that tries to circumvent Starfleet will answer to Starfleet Security.

It's been a while since I performed surgery. Undercover work and all.

:: Nods and takes another sip :: Well, it worked, didn't it?

I will be Fine when we get to Earth... I won't lie if I'm not

::glances back to the office, wondering about McFly and KK's conditions::

Looked like explosive injury.

Why do I feel like that's a lie?

Lt. Cmdr EJ Pilot

::to Bren:: Starfleet. A doctor can only relieve us with medical cause. Otherwise it is irrelevant. And a Doctor that tries to circumvent Starfleet will answer to Starfleet Security.

::Smiles weakly:: My point being, the Chief Medical Officer has the power to relieve anyone of duty, AND is the person who determines whether it is medically necessary. As a result, it's purely their discretion and, so, that little clause is irrelevant. Sure, there is always an appeal. (edited)

I am not lying about lying

::getting sore standing::

:: Satisfied engineering was alright for now, he turned to the exit :: I am going to sickbay.

Nurse Mallory> :: rolls callista to a Pre-Op room away ::

Captain, it might be better if you don't get up quite so fast. You and KK are miserable patients.

:: Pours more into his glass and takes nother sip :: Blowing stuff up.... is... fun.

Ensign Sparks> we shall keep things running for you.

::to Dr. Orrak:: Understandable. If you would prefer, I can concentrate on the most delicate areas of the surgery and you can assist me with them.

I will take EJ with me as my second ::Smiles:: Happy?

::Looks at Pilot:: Feeling like you can keep up with her, even wounded?

I'm more worried about keeping her here.

I may be getting too old for this .

::gives that "really" face at KK's suggestion:: (edited)

:: Chuckles :: You?

:::Holds McFly's hand:: I got this

::shakes his head:: Sure why not. If doing Commander Faldek's job doesn't kill me this probably won't either. (edited)

James Ryan (earth)> :: arrives at the Presidential Compound to resume his duties....One thing Ryan noted to himself how helpful it could be hearing the Presidential briefs while on detail. Sometimes it confirmed his own intelligence reports he had received from his source...other times....it went the other way..

What are our weapon options?

Knives and phasers?

No PK. ::smiles::

::lets out an obnoxious sigh; looks up at EJ:: Do not let her go overboard with this. ::looks at Kansas:: And you stay in sickbay until it's time to go.

::checks on Nurse Mallory's surgery preparations, occasionally glancing back at the office::

::nods:: That was the plan.

::looks up at Bren:: Funny.

::looks at Bren and sighs:: Stick to your dayjob.

I already told Jaffee I was going to use the PK on Earth for lying to me

Ooh. And how did she react to THAT suggestion?

::Pokes the Hypo she stole from McFly and Hypo's herself again::

Kansas!

She took it rather well, I think

For the love of Kahless woman stop hypo'ing yourself!

Don't ya see these grey hairs I'm getting?

Hey now, I'm not a human physician, but even I recognize you are about to OD on that hypo. You DO want to be conscious and functional when we get to Earth...?

Speaking of that.

:: Squints :: I mean.... :: takes another sip :: No...

:::waves hand::: I'm good I have a high tolerance

:: to Dr. Tevek :: Seems to be a lot of drama.

+Comm+ Helm set a course to Earth, warp factor ... ::looks at Bren:: Preference?

It'll stop working entirely if you keep doing that!

::As KK waves her hand, Bren takes the hypo and chucks it over his shoulder. It spins dramatically into the air and lands behind the CMO desk::

9:55 PM

::to PIlot:: Lets go with 7, it's a lucky number and gives us room to push it further if needed. (edited)

I think Jaffee Thought I was lying or being a Drama Queen

::nods:: +Comm+ Helm Warp 7 to Earth...engage.

You? No.

James Ryan ( earth)> Relieves Mr. Smith from his duties. ( agent smith)> No Visitors during your break sir. Ryan> Very good . I have point. Thank you Agent Smith.

SHould we let Jaffee know that we AREN'T coming to PK Earth? I don't want a spicy welcoming party when we cross the solar system ::Completely dry:: (edited)

:: Raises an eyebrow ::

::to Dr. Orrak:: Indeed. Humans have an illogical tendency to question their doctor's orders. Which certainly contributes to the...drama.

+Comm+ Aye Commander ::inputting the coordinates and engages::

I think we should go in without saying

I imagined you would say that. I suppose she is aware we don't have the module, anyway? (edited)

:: Feels the change in speed and looks towards the windows, then takes another sip ::

::sits up:: Bloody hell. ::looks out the window and sees the streaks of light:: We're going somewhere... ::gets up using the couch and desk to steady himself, checking his screen:: Earth looks like.

Ryan can be tapping the Comm's and would want to know

She'll be fine. I think she's always secretly prepared for us to turncoat and start shooting the place.

That's NOT reassuring....

It is practical, though.

Nurse Mallory> Administers more Pain Killers and sleep meds to Tyrel ....completing her prep for surgery.

:: Looks back at Faldek :: Oh... fun... somewhere I haven't been yet..

We're a black ops ship this is what we do.. ::attempting to re-assure Bren::

If your saboteur is so good, why hasn't he busted out ship override codes yet? Doesn't seem like it would be difficult for someone who can tap an Admirals comms, be let near the President, or fool your checks.

Oh it's a nice place. Kinda cold. The debriefing is gonna suck for me, and it's gonna be worse for you.

::to Nurse Mallory:: Is the patient prepared for surgery?

:::Shakes her head:: I don't know what he is waiting for...

9:59 PM

or how he tricked me ::makes a fist::

:: Sighs :: Oh, lovely...

Nurse Mallory> :: approaches Dr. Tevek :: Yes Doctor, Commander Tyrel is ready.

Is there any chance he DIDN'T trick you? Any other explanations here? I'll be honest, I find it hard to believe someone could sneak through your checks.

James Ryan ( Earth )> :: taps twice on the President's door and enters his chamber :: Good Afternoon Mr. President, I have the Sports page for you......

2

no, he got passed my checks

I am ready as well.

:: enters sickbay ::

::waves him in:: Thank you. I appreciate all your work, Lt Ryan, especially in the small things.

::nods:: Thank you, Nurse. Dr. Orrak, Nurse Mallory, let's begin Commander Tyrel's surgery. ::to another nurse:: Please notify me when Captain McFly and Commander Kenickie have exited the office.

Rex> looks at Will So we have haunted transporters and a haunted science lab?

"Apparently."

Can we keep the power on?

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Arrives in the science wing shortly after the lights come on, glancing around as he enters.:: Doctor... did the two of you see anything else?

Rex> So what wpuld cause a power drain like that during transport?

Ens Reynolds> ::Arrives in engineering out of breath, lugging his kit along. He sagged in the doorway, breathing heavily.:: Sirs... I'm here... I ran as soon as the lights came on...

"Something wrong with the transporters, or something near here draining the battery."

Rex> At different rates?

"That's...fair."

Rex> To be clear I am not a engineer.

"No, no, that's a fair question."

I did not, I was trying to extract some data.

Rex> Flips open his tricorder Nothing weird but then, helps if you know what you're looking for

:: Checking her tricorder again ::

"Also, hello Reynolds. We have generators that are drained at different rates as they come down from Excalibur."

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::He gestured to Indaura.:: Let's keep exploring this wing. See where these strange readings are coming from .

Rex> Wasn't there something wrong with the first set too?

"They were just dead."

Ens Reynolds> ::Catching his breath, finally.:: Drained? That's odd. The Commander and I noticed that the chronos in the admin wing were all showing different times, but we thought that was due to the power outages.

"Hm...I wonder if that has something to do with our generators. The power was out when the first set came down.

Rex> Strokes his non existent beard Do you think there's a connection between the power and the uh... ghosts?

Let me realign my scans.

9:20 PM

:: Edges closer to where the readings are the strongest, or would if they were not bouncing off the interior surfaces ::

"Don't tell me you believe in ghosts Rex."

Rex> I don't but whatever she saw was probably real in some sense. I have seen enough weird in fleet to know that.

"Fair enough.

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Takes out his own tricorder to scan and begins to walk through the science labs, heading down the corridor where Indaura and Irene saw the ghosts::

"And knowing our luck there is a connection."

Ens Reynolds> Have you two seen any of these g-ghosts? ::Wide eyes as he glances around engineering.:: They're not in here, are they?

Rex> We're actually ghosts Reynolds.

William gives him a look. "Really Reynolds? Damnit Rex, don't encourage him." (edited)

Rex> Stiffles a giggle

Ens Reynolds> ::Pokes Rex with his spanner.::

"Seriously Reynolds? Do you really believe in ghosts?"

Ens Reynolds> ::Relieved that Rex wasn't transparent.:: Of course! Don't you?

"No! What is this, some kind of fantasy novel?"

Rex> Deeply convinced they need to check the Excalibur's warp core now.

I do not believe in spirits per se, but that is not to say we know everything about all forms of life.

Ens Reynolds> Our souls have to go somewhere when we die.

9:28 PM

Ens Reynolds> There are a few people I'd haunt if I could.

Rex> Our ... you know, never mind.

"I...I don't know where to go with this conversation."

Rex> Why don't we see if we can figure out what drained these batteries. Don't our phasers and tricorders use the same systems? What about them?

"Maybe we haven't noticed due to how small the batteries are?"

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Scanning as he walked through, glancing back at the doctor.:: I would agree. These ghosts might be something we just don't know about yet.

9:31 PM

ACTION> The whining in engineering is getting louder as the power cycles, straining to keep up. There's another loud pop and the entire complex is plunged into darkness again.

Not again.

Denobula is rife with stories like this since we are so densely packed as a civilixation.

William goes to check the generators that had charge when they came down.

Rex> Flips on his hand light and resists an urge to make spooky ghost nosies at Reynolds, but only just barely

These readings are reflected all over the place. Isolation will be tricky.

Rex> Checks his phaser battery Hmm it has definately lost charge and I have not used it. Looks at his tricorder Same with this.

"That makes sense then."

Rex> Hand lamps using chemical batteries though.

"Would explain why those are still going strong."

Found something?

Ens Reynolds> ::His light was still functional, oddly, and he shone it around the room, darting from one shadow to the next.:: What's draining the power?

"I don't know yet."

Rex> Deadpan The Ghosts.

9:42 PM

Rex> What season are they on these days anyway?

Ens Reynolds> ::He hissed at Rex.:: That's not funny.

Rex> I canceled Holodeck+ so I only see clips on Klingon Tok

"There's no such thing as ghosts."

ACTION> As they move deeper into the science labs, the glowing green light is getting brighter. Suddenly, the round a wall and find themselves in one of the larger experimental labs. There's a large pulsing light in one of the containment units.

9:44 PM

"Huh..."

Rex> Flips open his tricorder instinctively

Ens Reynolds> ::Screams::

"Calm down Reynolds. I'm sure there's a perfectly reasonable explanation."

Rex> No ectoplasm on tricorders.

Cdr Jalen Stanton> Uh... yes. Something is right.

9:48 PM

Ens Reynolds> Yes! The explanation is ghosts! They died in here and are haunting the place.

"I highly doubt that Reynolds."

Rex> Gives Reynolds a look Ensign, I have seen a lot of things including things people called ghosts but were actually just some kids with a holoprojector.

9:49 PM

Rex> Now, lets calm down and think about what could be causing us to see these projections and also effecting the power cells.

9:51 PM

William arches an eyebrow at Rex.

Cdr Jalen Stanton> +Engineering team+ We found something... interesting in the Science wing. You should get do... ::The comm suddenly cuts off.::

Rex> Looks at his commbadge +Stanton+ Rex to Stanton come in

"Interesting?"

$Clark> On the bridge of the Excalibur, Clark's eyes suddenly widened Captain! I've lost contact with the away team's ID signals.

hearing none i will say I may be out next week

10:02 PM

we have dinner reservations to celebrate mother's day with my mom and sister and also my graduation from my master's program

Masters in what?

Ed Psych

Nice

so a Master's of Education

I'll also be busy next Sunday with the in-laws, so we should probably skip it and meet back the week after.

Sounds good

Sounds like a plan

Nighty night, folks. See you in a couple of weeks, then.

::tinkering on how to get rid of the crystals::

::working in medbay::

:: Wondering what's up with the crystals, but not doing the intensive scans ::

::still working on a crystal frequency scanner probe...thingamabob:::

::scanning through resonsance frequencies::

::over her shoulder towards Mimi:: Not to add to your workload, but once find a way to remove those crystals need to also find a way to dispose of them so they can't regrow. Maybe bond them to something that can make them inert. Once of course we figure out there basic structure. So, ya know.... no stress in creating a possible whole new branch of chemistry.

"Have we gotten anything from the scans?"

Understood Captain. ::softly:: Oh boy

Have we heard anything from the crystal scans?

Nothing incredibly useful, yet.

Nothing that I've heard so far.

::closing up the device she's been working on:: now let's see.

::Generally waving it around until it goes ""BEEP"" ::

:: Reads her PADD :: I am amazed I can read anything now. Thousands of languages.

Ooh, that's amazing!

::making some calibration adjustments::

9:20 PM

Okay, wherever these signals are coming from, if they have a spacial location this should read if we get close to it.

::tinkers some more::

::Nijil:: Have we ruled out all local signals as possible sources? What are the chances the Romulan frequency is coming from the refugees?

I can run heuristics through the database.

::continues monitoring as processing of the scans/data continues::

It's not me. It's the processor. :: waves her hand ::

Ooh. I see. Still...

:: Starts the scan, machine beeps ::

::gives the scanner device she made to an Ensign and tells them to walk start walking and see what they find::

9:31 PM

::looking over the other experiments::

::sees the results from the various tests::

The crystals do see to be attracted to power sources. Notice some slight variations depending on the energy type and output from the source.

Agreed. ::starts decreasing the power sources:: I wonder this will make a difference

Still not seeing anything to say where they came from. Logical guess would be condensation from the gasses in the caves, but who knows at this point.

9:36 PM

Odd, a small thermal increase from the crystals.

Hmmm

There may be a pattern, but not necessarily Rihan.

9:37 PM

We could 'hail' the crystal. :: shrugs ::

::Nijil:: I'm open to ideas. Give it a try.

9:38 PM

::Mimi:: I wonder if the crystals give off the energy they were drawn to.

Possible ::does a comparison scan between the crystals and power sources::

Either that or they freeze when exposed to energy and heat back up when removed from the source. So you know, complete opposite of what it should do. Which, would be on brand right about now.

:: hails ::

ACTION: The hailing signal echoes around between the different crystals

9:43 PM

::watching all the readings go wonky::

::not liking this at all::

That's something. A long range system of commuinication?

Okay, need to run all that through the computers. Maybe the bouncing around pattern could tell us something new.

9:45 PM

Possible.

::nods and starts running it::

If we are dealing with extra dimensions, then range may not have the same effect.

Subspacial? So far just in the EM spectrum.

ACTION: A signal, what seems like a response tone to the hail it picked up from the scans of the crystals....also bouncing around from one to another

::sees a signal and begins translating it::

::checking the scans, noticing slight alterations in the crystals from before the signal bursts::

9:53 PM

If we can make anything out of that signal, we probably need to try again with a more isolated sample. Might get a little less reverb.

Musical? :: Tries different tones ::

Music is universal

Give it a try, just remember, no bonus points for just making the first ever transdimensional music station.

::looks at his tricorder:: Not far now.

:: to Calista :: "Cloak holding?"

A man of science will surely prevail in this situation. The enemy vessel has numerous warp engines...simply shooting at them may not guarantee a timely destruction of the vessel...perhaps there is some other way we can render the Dominion threat usless..

I guess we can use phasers now that alarms are going

::wipes his mek'leth on his sleeve::

:: turns to Erich Jaenke :: Yes for the moment. I did stress to Commander Bren not to get into Combat sir...this setup will not take much to fail.

We are here on an emergency mission, the details of which I can't share, but we absolutely must retrieve, or destroy.... probably destroy, a threat to Earth that is onboard that battleship. We have a team deploying and I could really use a distraction.

:: crawls over to Tyrel :: "Are you alright?"

Ja. The cloak is kaput, but it did the job.

+Maelstrom/Fleet+ We're whole, our team made it out in the same number of pieces it left in

I blew up engineering on the battle ship.. ::Sighs:: I will admit I am hurt

::Currently in sickbay::

+Manticore+ Very good! Kudos to your team!

+Manticore+ Yeehaw! That's what I like to hear!

::leaves the TR, heading back to his quarters::

:: comes to :: Erich....????? Not again.... :: looks around :: are you okay?

::turns his head towards the viewscreen, due to the familiarity of the voice::

"I am fine. I have been so jumpy lately I was expecting something like this to happen."

Mother...?

:: Listens on the comms :: + Manticore + Well done, Manticore.

+Manticore+ Yes...Commander Pilot...

::hears Braxton:: Yes, hee-haw. He reminds me of a certain dolphin.

Ensign Spark > :: arrives next to Erich Jaenke :: Chief Janke...the fire has been put out....all power to the ..or former cloak has been shut off..

::comes back to reality:: Sorry, Captain.

:: rubs her forehead as she remains leaning against the wall :: I will need to get checked out Chief.

:: Looks up from Ops :: Sorry to interrupt, Commander... a large dominion fleet is crossing the cardassian boarder, they are following us...

"Good. I doubt it is repairable."

Helm, speed it up to Warp 8, get us back to Federation space. About 10 seconds after we cross the border, drop out of warp so we can take stock of a few things.

+Manticore+ Not to worry Commander. Manticore see you in Federation Space.

::enters his quarters, steps to the small bar and grabs a bottle of blue Kanar, takes the top off and drinks a big drink::

I suggest we are run

Status on our shields?

::brings up pictures from the main viewer on his console:: Well . ::takes a seat, swigging again::

+Fleet+ They are coming in hot, prepare yourselves.

68.3%

I didn't think the cloak exploding would make such a big bang.

Ensign Banks> Commander Jaenke???? Are you alright?? Orders?

+Bridge+ We have significant damage to our cloaking room and adjacent wall."

+Fleet+ Maelstorm acknowledges.

+Erich+ Understood. Any casualties? How does this impact our warp capabilities?

:: Watches the dominion fleet on sensors ::

"I am fine." :: His face looked burned and knicked ::

Tactical> ::checking shields, torpedoes and phasers:: Tactical is ready Captain.

A cloaking device uses an extreme amount of power....we doing the best we could to control the power to the smaller cloak...My guess is there was an overload in teh combat scenario.....

+ Fleet + Harnett here, acknowledged!

+Bridge+ Faldek here, do you require my assistance anywhere on the ship?

::looks at Bren:: (edited)

Well I guess I'll take the initiative.... Hail the other fleet

+manticore+ Uh, Cap'n, I hope you have an ace up yer sleeve. Cause we're gonna need one.

:: Starts attending to the wounded ::

You are right, at least nobody went belly up!

the overload resulted in the explosion. My concern is some of the shrapnel could of damaged the delicate systems in engineering.

((Better call Eagle One for an extraction))

::appears on screen::

Boy there's a lot of them ::looks at all the ships on the sensors::

::looks at the viewscreen::

:: Looks over at Eric :: (w) This does not bode well...

::looks at the viewscreen with her crew::

Dominion Fleet, you realize you are committing an Act of War in violation of at least three major Treaties, don't you?

::Looks at McFly:: are we still in battle... or is my head spinning?

:: Looks up at the view screen ::

((i believe we're already at war...))

((Is it declared?))

Sven...engineering must be throughly scanned for damage...if a fragment from the Romulan cloaking device embedded it self in one of the Matter Anti Matter Assemblies.

( by season six....certainly )

((what calli said))

Let's commence with a thorough scan, then

We shall do our best...

You committed violated Dominion territory and destroyed one of our ships. So we will respond in kind.

Oh well. ::closes the comm channel and continues drinking::

agreed Sven

( sorry folks I must depart )

((Oh well. Can't remember them all. This is why the classic shows have so many errors, they forget things.

))

Cdr Jaenke is still around though, which is good since we can't exactly float in there and help fix it ourselves.

We can't take a hit like that!

10:04 PM

Captain, we are in no condition to fight. This ship is being held together by threads..

:::Mumbles slightly disoriented::

"We cannot repel an attack of that magnitude."

::pops his feet up on the desk::

:: Feels lightheaded ::

should we get back to running

+Other Fleet+ I'm sure I don't know what you are referring to. How would 4 of the Federation's best warships sneak in like that? And certainly we wouldn't have been concealing Dominion War Crimes in order to keep the status quo.

10:06 PM

+Other Fleet+ IN short... we did you a favor, whether you realize it or not, and we're going to be taking our leave. If you have half a brain, you'll turn around and go home.

::appears to be being talked to off screen; he doesn't appear to like what he's being told but must comply; cuts off the comm::

::Turns around to the rest of the Bridge:: Well that was rude. Sheesh.

USS Excalibur - Sundays 10 ET - Command Staff: Cptn Swain, CdrMirandaHawthorne

Between 4/28/2024 9:06 PM and 4/28/2024 10:07 PM

Many things to move?

MISSION BRIEFING: Excalibur is currently in orbit of the agricultural colony of Trakis III responding to a muddled distress call. Arriving, they have found the colony to be completely deserted. The AT has discovered the origin of the distress call, though it strangely appears to be placed sometime in the future. The entire complex is also experiencing strange power fluctuations and outages. As we begin, teams are entering the engineering and science wings to investigate.

9:06 PM

Rex> Frowns as he looks around again You ever think of getting a normal job?

“In Starfleet? Where would that be?”

9:10 PM

William starts looking around.

Earth. Mars. Really any of the settled worlds.

9:10 PM

Rex>*

9:11 PM

Rex> When I was first out of the academy I did a rotation on Mars at the shipyards. Easist gig I've ever had.

“Yeah, but the people are…weird for Starfleet.”

Rex> Have you met anyone on this ship. It wasn't a question. But I suppose I should be grateful. It could be a lot worse.

“We may be weird, but we’re normal for Starfleet.”

:: Scanning the area ::

Rex> Wonders if Will has been working too near the warp core, but decides to let it go. So how do we get this bad boy fired back up again.

"Ok!" She pushes the science doors open...

“I’m trying to figure that out.” William says while scanning.

Rex> They should just make engineering a bush button affair. "On" he mimed pressing a button on darkened console and "Off" and repeated the gesture

:: hears the doors being opened ahead of her ::

ACTION> Power levels in the complex start amping up again, until there's a high pitched whine that's enough to give one a reaction headache. Then the lights go out and they're plunged into darkness.

Rex> Oh for sake.

“Not again. William grabs an emergency light and cracks it.

ACTION> In the science wing, all is dark except a muted glow from somewhere deep in the maze of labs.

Rex> Shines his light and his phaser in an action pose What the hell was that noise.

:: Heads the the glow, scanner in hand ::

William holds up the chemical light. “Never used one of these?”

"Careful..." She heads inside, slowly, phaser in hand.

Rex> Yeah, all the time in the war. The Jem'Hadar figured out how to track the energy signature of our normal hand lights.

9:21 PM

Rex> So you'd just be having a nice little patrol in the woods and BAM bunch of Jem'Hadar would uncloak and start popping you. BA-BABAABA-BABA miming shooting the whole time

:: Looks at her readings ::

ACTION> As Irene & Indaura head further into the labs, a group of people come rushing down the corridor screaming. Tricorders give no indication of lifesigns, though.

:: She looked up, then down again at her scans :: "What are they?"

9:25 PM

:: Puts her other hand on her phaser ::

"Don't know!" Her hand is on her phaser, but her phaser is not raised. Her off-hand contains her tricorder. "They're... nothing, apparently?" (edited)

"Correct, no signs of life."

Rex> Clears his throat and sobers, realizing he probably looked like a goof with the fake shooting action So, think we could get some portable power generators down here from the ship? Looks over to Will

“Yes, we should be able to. Everything here is going to be compatible.” (edited)

Rex> Nods

ACTION> Those screaming people rush toward the pair and pass through them before disappearing like ghosts.

"I took an oath to do no harm, but I'm considering bending it a litt..."

+Excalibur/Reynolds+ “Chocox to Excalibur. You there Reynolds?”

Ens Reynolds> +Chocox+ Aye, sir. Commander Stanton and I are still exploring the administrative wing. Though... it's hard to do in the dark. Do you need help with something?

+Reynolds+ “For some reason I forgot you were down here. I need to get portable power generators but that’s an Excalibur thing. Hold please.” +Excalibur+ “Chocox to Excalibur.”

Clark> +Cho+ Excalibur here

+Clark+ “Hey Clark, our power supply down here is more miss than hit. Please tell Engineering to send down some portable generators please.”

"What was that?"

Clark> +Excalibur+ Can do. How many units do you want.

She tries to slide out of the way of the screaming ghosts when they approach, flat against the wall. "Don't know!"

Clark> +Excalibur+ I hear there's a 2 for 1 special.

9:34 PM

((It was the ghost army from LOTR))

+Clark+ “I’ll take 4 for 2 then. I think that should be enough.”

Clark> +Cho+ Understood. Standby.

+Clark+ “Thank you Clark.”

ACTION> A cut scene later and the power units are beamed down, hwoever, when Will eventually inspects them, he will find their batteries drained.

“What the hell?” +Clark+ “Did you guys send me dud generators?”

Clark> +Cho+ Sounds surprised Let me check with your people, but I can't imagine you've trained them that badly.

+Everyone+ "Mincine to whoever, there's... ghosts, or something down here in Science!" She sounds quite alarmed.

Rex> Looks at Cho Not the weird ones huh?

9:40 PM

Rex> +Mincine+ Rex here, report.

9:42 PM

Clark> +Cho+ Confirmed with your people, they loaded four fresh power units onto the transporter pad.

Cdr Jalen Stanton> +Irene+ Yes, report. I'd like to know what you mean by... ghosts.

+Clark+ “Well, they’re currently dead.”

Clark> +Cho+ Weird. Well, I'll have them send four new ones down.

9:43 PM

(( Clark is a second or two away from sending Cho an amazon-esque picture of the drop off ))

+Everyone+ She's calmed down after a short pause. "OK, well... some screaming people who don't appear on our tricorders at all, running through us like holograms. There's no power or anything down here, so it's not that."

+Clark+ “Thank you Clark.”

Rex> Wondering if Irene has also been working too near the warp core lately

"Holograms?"

ACTION> The four dead power supplies are beamed up and replaced with four new ones, but they are in different states of charge.

“Are you kidding me?!”

Cdr Jalen Stanton> +Irene+ I'm headed that way. Report if you find anything else... odd.

Rex> Pops open his tricorder, wondering if there is a 'ghost busters' setting

9:47 PM

+Jalen+ No ghosts in engineering. Want me to stay here with Chocox?

ACTION> The complex's power source lights up suddenly. There's a loud pop and power is restored to the entire facility.

9:48 PM

Cdr Jalen Stanton> +Rex+ Yes. I'm sending Reynolds to you to help, as well. ::Pauses.:: And the power is on here. There, as well? (edited)

Rex> +Jalen+ Spooky.

9:48 PM

Rex> +Jalen+ Yep and understood.

“Yes, power has been restored here, but who knows how long.”

+Stanton+ "Other than... the power, that's about it down here."

ACTION> Irene & Indaura hear a soft droning noise coming from somewhere in the labs. Though the power doesn't go out, the lights dim and brighten in tandem with the noise.

“And ghosts? Really?”

Rex> Shrugs So what was the deal with the power units?

She points her tricorder at the lights, dimming and coming back. "OK, what is that...? Can you record this too, doctor?"

“First ones were dead, these ones are in various states of charge.”

Rex> Did you off your staff and or forget to do transporter maintenance

"I'm getting it." :: her 'corder chirps ::

9:56 PM

"Power instability?"

“I’m beginning to think it’s the site.” William checks the generators again.

"It's definitely power instability of some kind. Some kind of resonance with... something. I need an engineer down here."

ACTION> The timers indicate that they’ve all been running various different lengths of time, but all have the same “last charged” date, which is just before they were beamed down

“This makes no sense.”

Rex> Lifts a brow Oh?

“So, they all say their last charge date was right before they transported down. But their run times are all different amounts.”

Let's make sure it's not just reflecting local signals.

Would be interesting if it did, but less than helpful at the moment.

We have isolated as much as we could on short notice.

The computers should be able to filter out known signals.

What's up?

Let's go ahead and filter out the known signals. Maybe that should help.

I believe they are working on the scans now.

The more scans we have the more can be filtered out.

::nods and continues the scans:: Continuing the scans now Nijil

Understood

ACTION: Two signal patterns begin to emerge. One the computer marks as a shuttlecraft emergency signal and the other of Romulan origin.

Rihan...

::sees two patterns emerge:: Umm... Captain there are two signal patterns emerging... one romulan and one a shuttlecraft

Guess it's not a medical emergency just yet.

9:27 PM

Yes, sorry, I have more experience with the Rihan. Displaying both signals and running heuristics.

It's understandable

Uh oh, do you need your holomatrix looked at?

Don't know. That's more Niji's domain than mine. :: thinks :: Guess he's my doctor.

The signals seem to share time stamps.

Hmmm

I think the that's a location beacon on the shuttlecraft signal. Just it's missing any coordinates.

Yes, sadlycan't really help you there.

::checks another screen:: No shuttlecraft on the surface are broadcasting anything. I'll have the Freya and the colony send us anything they might have going.

Do we know the message?

Could be past or future.

What is last known location of all the shuttles versus now

Everything should be in their respected hangers, except for the wreckage of the one we came back in from the other side.

::scans the hangars to verify all intact shuttles are there::

Might be harder to eliminate the Romulan signals, as many civilians are in the area. Plus, we still have the lost refugees.

::nods::

This is more confusing the deeper we dig.

I'm getting a headache ::rubs her temples::

Agreed.

9:46 PM

I don't know if we can triangulate the signals with the samples this close, but see what we can do.

If we can get a general area will be a good start

We don't need the book of life decoded for us, but a sign with an arrow would be useful.

Agreed

Perhaps I can rig one of the samples as a signal meter.

9:52 PM

::starts fidling with some random parts on a side table.::

Before a get off track, we also need to see the other experiments are completed. Learning how to melt these crystals would be a nice thing too, especially if they're related to the dome of whatever that formed out there.

= Manticore had been destroyed. Two years later, the crew of the Manticore-B had been splintered. Kansas was reassigned off the ship to a new position guarding the Federation President. Faldek had been given a special assignment which lead to him and Gila going to Cardassia where they met up with an old friend, Edvenent. Manticore herself returned from a years long shakedown cruise and returned to Starbase -REDACTED- to be fitted with a new dorsal module. During a conference on the lunar colony, Kansas was able to thwart an assassination attempt on the President. This proved to be a distraction for the real mission, the theft of Manticore's dorsal module, a weapon known only as the Planet Killer. Manticore was sent after it but wound up running into a group of mercenaries they didn't expect and lost Captain McFly in the process. Kansas was then sent in separately to find the module and slowly uncovered a conspiracy involving high ranking Starfleet officers. Meanwhile, Faldek's mission was to track down a theft of a Federation weapon. After two years the mission seemed as if it may have been scrubbed but they soon learned that it was restarted and was much larger than original anticipated. Faldek discovered a new devastating Dominion Battleship. Gila learned select Jem'Hadar soldiers were being trained on Federation technology. And Edvenent found a connection between their mission and the theft of the PK. Kansas was able to track down the location of the module but found it had already been moved. However she did retrieve McFly. Faldek, Gila & Edvenent were instructed to stop the transfer of this large weapon only to discover the location given to them was wrong. Eventually, all parties found their way back to Manticore. After a brief briefing they determine the best course of action is to destroy the module now located on the new devastating Dominion Battleship. = starfleet

+Faldek+ 2. I am headed to the armory. This is a stealth mission. Can't know we are there.

I have heard he is a man of science. Hence he will outhink our opponents.

::Gets up:: lets moter

I agree, Banks. And it doesn't hurt he's tasty to look at too. ::tries to wink but she can't because she's a dolphin::

::nods:: I appreciate the thought, Captain. Although your recovery is proceeding well, it is still useful to have the biobed monitoring your status at this point. However, if things "get crazy" and I need you to vacate the bed, I will let you know.

:: Sits in his quarters ::

Yes. Please do not bump into the device Else it will fail...we have constructed a very fragile piece of equipment.

Only that we are going to be stealthy.

+Tyrel+ How about a status report on the cloak? Are we still stable?

I mean I do not imply Tyrel is clumsy...but I wish they would of put the entire device in a more secure location onboard....like with us perhaps. Something far more shock resistant .

"Yes, greetings it is. How is the Captain?"

::checks his boot knife, it's good and sheathed properly. Looks around and snatches up a pulse phaser rifle and type 2, and grabs a tricorder and a light:: So we're sabotaging the PK or..?

::looks at Kansas:: You'll be taking point, if we are seen the person who sees us needs to be eliminated before an alarm is set off.

Chief Jaenke I do not believe is in good health.

Sounds Like super fun (edited)

Sabotage or destroy, it must not be used against us, Earth or any Federation planet.

His recovery is progressing as well as could be expected given the nature of his injuries. I am keeping him in the biobed to monitor his status presently.

MISSION BRIEFING: Excalibur is currently in orbit of the agricultural colony of Trakis III responding to a muddled distress call. Arriving, they have found the colony to be completely deserted. The AT has discovered the origin of the distress call, though it strangely appears to be placed sometime in the future. As we continue, the AT is searching for more clues and the power has just gone out. Irene managed to get the emergency lights working in medical, but everything else is still dead.

Rex> All of them. ::shines his light down the corridors they pass on the way to the stairs.::

William shines his light around as well. “Well, I’ll get right to it as soon as we get back.”

+Others+ "Irene to the other teams, I've got lighting down here in Medical now. Try checking the power distribution systems where you all are."

+Irene+ “Thank you Irene.”

:: Working in the mood lighting of this medical location ::

Rex> ::looks around the corridor:: Pointless to try out here, I guess, as we're moving further down.

“Yeah, unfortunately.”

ACTION> There's a loud humming noise in the walls, then a loud pop, and the power surprisingly comes back on in the entire building.

“That’s not normal.”

Irene looks up at the ceiling, the lights coming back makes her go hmmm. +Will+ "That wasn't me. I don't think. Unless the whole power system is routed through Medical."

+Irene+ “Thank you for the information. We heard a pop over here.”

Rex> I still wouldn't trust the lifts. Let's hustle down to engineering in case the lights go out again.

“Agreed.” William walks towards the stairs.

Rex> +Irene, Indaura+ Get to the science wing if you can before it goes out again. Chocox and I are heading for engineering.

+Rex+ "Understood." She looks over her shoulder. "Dr. Ryssan, we're heading for Science."

William opens the door and heads down the stairs. “What style do you want the massage chair?”

"I'm not liking this area,:

Rex> ::Hurrying down the stairs, though he kept his light handy.:: The floating kind. You just kick back and feel weightless. Like a cloud.

"Yeah, me neither. Let's get going." She puts her instruments back into her kit and checks the facility map on her tricorder. "Not taking the lifts... this way."

“Didn’t realize you going first through that door was so expensive.” William plays his light around the staircase with a laugh.

ACTION> The walls are humming again, slowly rising in pitch.

“That’s disconcerting.”

Rex> Don't act like it's coming out of your personal stores. You're just going to juggle things around until the tallies are in the right columns and... ::pauses:: What is that?

“Humming sir.”

Concerned as she heads for Science, she starts taking readings of the humming. +Others+ "You all hearing the walls... vibrate?"

+Irene+ “Yes, it’s disconcerting.”

ACTION> The humming grows louder, rising to a piercing whine that's enough to rattle the eardrums. Then another pop and they're all plunged into darkness.

“Damnit!”

"Welp, easy come, easy go."

(Bismillah, no, I will not let you go.)

Irene turns her flashlight back on. "I wish it'd leave the go part behind. And the humming. Some kind of resonance in the power system?"

Rex> ::sighs and flips on his light. Continues down the stairs, though slower.::

William turns his light back on as well and continues down. (edited)

+Will+ "Did you check the power nodes? I think that loud pop at the end might be... like a circuit breaker or something."

+Irene+ “We’re almost to engineering and we’ll see.”

Rex> ::reaches the engineering level and steps out of the stairwell, sweeping the corridor.:: Power is off everywhere. Looks like we'll have to force this door, too.

"I can extract records using the power from my tricorder."

“Such a joy. I need to workout more.” William braces to pry it open.

"Yeah, hopefully we can turn the lights back on in Science, too..." She says as she gets to the door. "Come on, give me a hand opening this."

:: Goes over to Irene :: "Alright, let me help a bit."

9:59 PM

"Door can't open with no power..."

Rex> It couldn't hurt. ::smirks as he pushes on his side, inching the door open bit by bit.::

William pushes on his portion of the door.

"No, but I've got this magnetic clamp." She attaches a pair for them. "OK..."

Rex> ::Grunts and disconnects, pushing off the door to shine his light inside. Engineering is dark except for the building's main power source which was dimming and brightening as the power cycled unnaturally.::

= /\ = USS MANTICORE BRIEFING #1266, STARDATE 52404.15 = /\ =
Manticore had been destroyed. Two years later, the crew of the
Manticore-B had been splintered. Kansas was reassigned off the
ship to a new position guarding the Federation President. Faldek
had been given a special assignment which lead to him and Gila
going to Cardassia where they met up with an old friend, Edvenent.
Manticore herself returned from a years long shakedown cruise and
returned to Starbase -REDACTED- to be fitted with a new dorsal
module. During a conference on the lunar colony, Kansas was able
to thwart an assassination attempt on the President. This proved to
be a distraction for the real mission, the theft of Manticore's
dorsal module, a weapon known only as the Planet Killer. Manticore
was sent after it but wound up running into a group of mercenaries
they didn't expect and lost Captain McFly in the process. Kansas was
then sent in separately to find the module and slowly uncovered a
conspiracy involving high ranking Starfleet officers. Meanwhile,
Faldek's mission was to track down a theft of a Federation weapon.
After two years the mission seemed as if it may have been scrubbed
but they soon learned that it was restarted and was much larger
than original anticipated. Faldek discovered a new devastating
Dominion Battleship. Gila learned select Jem'Hadar soldiers were
being trained on Federation technology. And Edvenent found a
connection between their mission and the theft of the PK. Kansas
was able to track down the location of the module but found it had
already been moved. However she did retrieve McFly. Faldek, Gila &
Edvenent were instructed to stop the transfer of this large weapon
