Manticore was ordered to sector 821 just within the
Federations deep space territory. Upon arrival they found a
starbase destroyed by a ship gone rogue. Suddenly Manticore
seemingly went "rogue" herself severely damaging the USS
Bauer in the process. Soon the engineering team was able to
regain control of the ship then assessed the Bauer. Damage
done to the ship will require Manticore to tow them back to
base. In addition, sensors discovered an unidentified warp
trail leaving the sector. Then, after retrieving the starbase
black box, science determined there had been a cloaked ship
present during the Sumadi's attack on the starbase.

Kansas Kenickie: Morning everyine
Kansas Kenickie: *one
Chirakis: Morning?
Kansas Kenickie: it's morning somewhere
Gila Orrak: This is not what is seems Chirakis.
Chirakis: True. Good morning, then, Captain McFly and Commander Kenickie - or is it also captain now?
Chirakis: Nothing is ever what it seems.
Gila Orrak: I'm recycling logins..and names.
McFly: Hello
Kansas Kenickie: nope I am a Commander I think LOL
Chirakis: I try not to think. It hurts my brain.
McFly: Full commander
Kansas Kenickie: is it nap time?
Callista Tyrel: ooh I made it ::waves::
Chirakis: It's always nap time.
McFly: Callista!
Chirakis: You have quite a crew, Captain. Congratulations.
McFly: Thanks!
Kansas Kenickie: you can alway come back Chirakis
Kansas Kenickie: I Still need my head shrunk
Erich Jaenke: It's a big head
Chirakis: Take care with your Cardassian ensign, Captain. She is more than you would want to tangle with.
Chirakis: And thank you, Commander.
McFly: I think the mental health profession gave up on this ship years ago.

Kansas Kenickie: Morning
Chirakis: Does Orrak have the same bio as she has on Aegis?
Chirakis: n/m I do not see her bio here. Ah, well. You will learn soon enough.
McFly: Guess they want to keep that one a secret.
Chirakis: And for good reason.
McFly: Alright, guess we should get started
McFly: No Vil, Bren or Jack right now it seems.
Chirakis: ::settles in to watch::

Callista Tyrel: @ :: looks briefly at Mason ...then turns her attention the ....mess...of what is left of the bridge ::
Gila Orrak: +McFly+ I will cross-reference it with out own readings. It will take some time.

Erich Jaenke: @ I'd not put it on the market just yet. We are setting up independent sensors for structural integrity. The generators are in good shape, but the ability to read the stresses is compromised.

McFly: @ CaptMason> Whatever you can do to get us moving is appreciated. I have a lot of wounded on the bridge and I can only image what the rest of the ship is like. We really need to get to a starbase soon.
Erich Jaenke: @ Well, I believe we are a day away from the next one. Not a full shipyard, but the engineers there come recommended.

Erich Jaenke: Seeing a small piece of the problem and linking it to the larger picture merely takes experience.
Kansas Kenickie: ::walks over to refill her mug:: Caffeine, Captain?
Erich Jaenke: I can get you in if you like.
McFly: Yes! For the love of God yes!

McFly: ACTION> MANTICORE GOES TO WARP WITH THE BAUER IN TOW
Gila Orrak: +McFly+ The cloak used most closely resembles a Klingon design, a bit older than what a Rihan vessel would use.,
McFly: ::takes the mug from KK and heads to the briefing room:: Keb, I need you to stay on the bridge to monitor the Bauer while in warp.
Keb: ::carefully piloting with the tow::
Callista Tyrel: ( Rihan ? Is that Cardassian )
Kansas Kenickie: Karl, no more negative Nancy. keep your eyes on space
Keb: Got it, Captain.
Erich Jaenke: :: Walks to the conference room, doing those camera passes we know is just the same small corridor, just shot from different angles ::
Kansas Kenickie: ::Follows McFly:: or else

Erich Jaenke: Bah, my medicine is wearing off. All those people over there on the Bauer. :: enters the conference room
McFly: ::sips and takes a seat:: +Gila+ Really?! I don't like the idea of klingon espionage. What's more is that doesn't sound like them at all. Are you able to clear it up any more than that?
Keb: ::waits for KK to leave and then winks at Karl:: Bossy, eh?
Gila Orrak: +Gila+ Shall I just bring this to the meeting?
Kansas Kenickie: Karl> not really, normally she ignores me
Gila Orrak: (talking to myself)
Callista Tyrel: Oh no. Is there something I can do sir? :: to Jaenke as they enter ::
Keb: Probably better for your health that she does then.
McFly: +Gila+ Absolutely
Kansas Kenickie: Annoying Karl> I enjoy her ignoring me. ::Sniffs Keb::
Erich Jaenke: Unless you can create the suppresant... Something I have to live with.
Gila Orrak: +McFly+ On my way. :: on her way ""
Keb: ::winces and pulls away:: Y...eah. Anyway, nice to have an easy, direct mission for once.
Callista Tyrel: Oh....:: decides to not bother the Betazoid any further in the room ::
Keb: Get the ship where it needs to be.
BrenFaliver: ((HI everyone! My train was delayed by 40 minutes))
Erich Jaenke: :: Mentally reads the room ::
Kansas Kenickie: with klingons in the area to kill us
McFly: ((it's Bren!))
Kansas Kenickie: *Karl>
Gila Orrak: :: Gila enters... looks to see where she sits ::
Callista Tyrel: ( CSCI is here yeah! )
Kansas Kenickie: ::Stays standing, letting McFly sit
Keb: Why would they want to? We're just an innocent tug.
Callista Tyrel: :: stands behind the Chief ready with an engineering PADD ::
McFly: ((already sititng))
Keb: ::is mentally playing Steamboat Willie in her head as she directs the ship::
Gila Orrak: :: Sits next to Keb ::
Kansas Kenickie: Karl> isn't that what Klingons do best
Gila Orrak: :: Notices she too has something in her hair, Gila thought she was the only one ::
Keb: ::nods at Gila, hairbow bouncing slightly::
Gila Orrak: :: coughs :: Klingon origin does not mean they are Klingon... the brief warp signature was off.
Gila Orrak: Probably why we could detect them
Gila Orrak: :: Thinks the room could use a plant or two ::
McFly: ::nods to Gila:: well now that we're started...
Gila Orrak: :: Seems she started the meeting without the Captain ::
Callista Tyrel: :: notes the butterflies in her stomach ::
Gila Orrak: :: Straightens her hair band ::
McFly: ::looks around the room:: Well... ::sips coffee:: I'm a bit annoyed. I don't like being spied on by people that blow up starbases.
Kansas Kenickie: ::Takes a seat, looks over the PADD with reports rolling in::
Callista Tyrel: :: has her own PADD behind the Chief listens attentively ::
Gila Orrak: :: Checks her padd LL
BrenFaliver: ::Sneaks in late, takes a seat::
Gila Orrak: :: mouths "black box" to Bren ::
Kansas Kenickie: They could be still in the area masking their trail
McFly: To catch everyone up we seems the Bauer and the Station detected a small radiation spike that we can only assume was ignored or not recognized but we now know to be a cloaked ship. She was there before the station blew up. I have science going over our own logs to see if she was still there when we arrived. I going to make an early assumption that she was considering once we returned from our own "incident", Keb detected a small warp trail leaving in the opposite direction.
BrenFaliver: ::Mouths "Blat hox?" to Gila::
McFly: ::looks over to Gila:: Ensign, you said you now believe the cloaking device to be klingon?
Callista Tyrel: :: is surprised at the revelation and makes a notation ::
Gila Orrak: :: Realizes the UT is not good for mouthing words ::
BrenFaliver: ::Gets a flash of realization, looks at Gila, points at a black spot on his uniform, makes the shape of a square with his fingers, and cocks his head quizzically, in an extremely conspicuous manner to all present::
Gila Orrak: They have devices less advanced than Rihans, and those two are the only two major players in the cloaking game.
Gila Orrak: It's an older model as well, as they have to shift massive amounts of power to go from cloak to propulsion..
McFly: Well... I wouldn't say the only players. ::winks to KK::
Kansas Kenickie: or stolen
Kansas Kenickie: ::Smirks::
Gila Orrak: The Ferengi will get you low quality items at high prices.
Kansas Kenickie: ::Looks at Gila:: So it would use to much power for them to mask themselves then
McFly: I haven't known Klingons to do anything sneaky so I'm not jumping to conclusions that it was them. But we could be dealing with a stolen klingon ship.
Callista Tyrel: :: not really what to think about all this discussion ::
McFly: ::nods to Gila::
Gila Orrak: I could not get a fix on the ship class, but it is no bigger than we are.
BrenFaliver: Who could steal a Klingon ship without getting noticed and destroyed promptly?
McFly: Yeah isn't that a scare thought.
Kansas Kenickie: ::lifts hand:: They are really lazy sometimes
Callista Tyrel: :: lowers to Chief Erich Jaenke s ear :: A Cloaking device cannot hack a computer sir...something else is still afoot I think.
BrenFaliver: ((HAHAHAHAHAHAH))
Kansas Kenickie: ::Glances at McFly::: Maybe send a prob in the direction the tail went to see if they Cotten tailed or not
Erich Jaenke: :: bends down and quietly :: No, and it risks detection. There are pieces to this puzzle we don't have yet.
Kansas Kenickie: *trail
Callista Tyrel: :: Quietly replies :: Aye Sir.
Erich Jaenke: I can have Lt. Peter prep one now.
BrenFaliver: ::TNIP:: I wonder if someone sold the Bynar a cloaking device
Callista Tyrel: ( Lt. Peter Prep a Prob promplty please at plasma path )
Erich Jaenke: :: Signals Lt. Peter ::
Erich Jaenke: (( show title)
McFly: Well this is what I want to do. We're going to have to get the Bauer to the station before we can go after anyone. Gila, continue going over the logs cause I want to know if that ship was still there when we were. Erich, Bren, our bigger issue we don't have solved yet. I want you two to work together to find out how our ship was compromised. Because it's now looking more like sabotage. We really need to learn what happened and how they did it.
Callista Tyrel: :: blushes knowing she should not of done that....and...embarassment probably overloads poor Jaenke's empathic abilities ::
BrenFaliver: Easy, Callista did it.
McFly: ::looks to Erich and KK:: Go ahead with the probe too

Callista Tyrel: Uh what....Oh sorry! :: looks around embarrassed ::
BrenFaliver: ::Pause::
Kansas Kenickie: ::paused..::
McFly: took me a minute to realize the time.
Erich Jaenke: So glad I don't really have his abilities
Callista Tyrel: we started a bit late..no problem.
McFly: KK, Komments?
Kansas Kenickie: Does this mean I get to hurt someone to make them admit they sabotaged
Kansas Kenickie:
McFly: Probably
Kansas Kenickie: Yaaaaaay!!
Kansas Kenickie:
Kansas Kenickie: nothing else from me
McFly: So it'll take about a day to get to the starbase we're going to so TBS will about 1 day as we're reaching to starbase to drop off the Bauer. Everyone will have been working on their assignments during that time.
Callista Tyrel: oh okay..
McFly: Questions or comments?
McFly: Nope? Then last call before...
McFly: DISMISSED!
Keb: Gnight all
McFly: later dudes
Kansas Kenickie: Nite everyone
Callista Tyrel: Goodnight
Kansas Kenickie: McFly
BrenFaliver: Goodnight all!
McFly: later babe -
Well there's actually not that many. We have the prime universe which is everything from Enterprise-Nemesis. The prime universe is now SUPPOSED to include Discovery and the new Picard show. Despite the often unnecessary choices made that seemingly change the history, it's all supposed to be part of the world we know and love.
Beyond that, the Kelvinverse ((or JJ-verse as I will continue to call it)) is just the three movies released solely by Paramount, and the books which were never cannon to begin with. I guess you could call the books their own universe considering there's some really great stories in there. But novels, comics, anything in literature was never connected to the main timeline.
Quite honestly, the animated series is actually not considered cannon. Although I've seen some people suggesting as much, that's never come from anyone official. In the past they've said it wasn't and no one has come out to retcon the show into prime cannon. Oh, and Star Trek online was said at one time to continue where nemesis left off. I don't know if this is still the case but CBS at one time was pretty much wanting it to be part of prime cannon.
So I guess in the end you can say there's really only three timelines you have to keep track of.

McFly: ::looks at Mason:: Were there any other ships besides you and EC?
Erich Jaenke: ($ Bauer)
BrenFaliver: Sorry Gila, er... do you have a rank? Or a courtesy rank? I need to step away from the lab for a little while. Please, look around. The animal cages are to the left, astrophysics is behind me. The Sci-Chief office is behind you next to the door, but we don't use it. I can usually be found here at this central console or on the bridge.
McFly: CaptMason> No, it was us and everyone else was in the station.
Gila Orrak: I am essentially an Ensign in your ranking system.
McFly: Really odd. Keb, can you determine if it was Fed or not?
Erich Jaenke: (oh, # is good)(
BrenFaliver: Excellent, make yourself comfortable Ensign Orrak
BrenFaliver: ::Hops up and double-times it to the cargo bay, grabbing a very large wrench that was beside the door to Science for no apparent reason::
Gila Orrak: Very well
Gila Orrak: Let me know if you need help with your...box.
Gila Orrak: :: smirks ::
Kansas Kenickie: :::Sips coffee as the lift moves::
Keb: I can run some algorithms on it, but it's not very strong. I'll see what I can do, Captain.
Keb: ::reviews the scans and does some extra tests on her console, biting her lip as she works::
Kansas Kenickie: ::Steps off the lift and heads down the hall::
Callista Tyrel: # + Manticore + Ensign Tyrel here. Away team reporting successful transport.
McFly: ACTION> THE INSIDE OF THE BAUER LOOKS WORSE THAN THE RELIANT AFTER KIRK BEAT THE HELL OUT OF IT. LIGHTS FLICKER, SPARKS IN PLACES THERE SHOULD'T BE SPARK, MANY WOUNDER CREWMEN.
BrenFaliver: ::pops out of the TL and heads into the cargo bay, with a ridiculously large pipe wrench on his shoulder::
McFly: ((sorry, trying to keep up))
Erich Jaenke: # :: Shields himself from the sparks :: What in the rings happened here?
Callista Tyrel: # :: looks to Jaenke :: My instructors taught me to do that. :: smiles ::
Kansas Kenickie: ::walks into the Cargo bay::: hello hello
Keb: ::shakes her head after several minutes of trying:: Captain, I really can't tell--beyond the direction and the fact that it's a warp signature, it's not clearly any make.
McFly: CaptMason> ::motions to the coms:: May I?
McFly: Of course
BrenFaliver: ::smiles a little:: I left the mic open on Science-1 so I could pay attention to bridge operations. I heard I have weak hands and won't be able to open this box? ::gestures with the wrench::
Callista Tyrel: # I think we did this sir. Or our computer did. :: palm light illuminates fire damage :: Where do we start?
Erich Jaenke: # :: smiles :: They would know right away if something happened. I have rigged something to help with transports.
Kansas Kenickie: it's a rumor
McFly: ::retcons masons previous comments::
Callista Tyrel: :: palm light follows scorch marks along ceiling ::
Gila Orrak: :: Looks around, tries contacting Tyrel or Jaenke, but they are not available :: Figures.
Kansas Kenickie: ::Knocks on the box::
McFly: ::to keb:: alright, keep trying. Do some deep scans that way, see if you detect anything out of the ordinary.
Callista Tyrel: # Sir, I think we should request medical assistance.
Keb: ::nods:: Aye, Sir. ::diverts a couple of sensors to the task::
McFly: CaptMason> Captain, I hope I've been able to help but I feel I should be on my ship right now.
Erich Jaenke: # :: Yells :: Is anyone here in need of medical care?
BrenFaliver: Shall I give this a go, or do we wait for the gnomes to answer the door?
Kansas Kenickie: give a go
Gila Orrak: :: She wondered what was up with the helm person ::
McFly: Crewman> # ::yells back:: Hey! is someone there?! I'm stuck!
Erich Jaenke: # :: Goes to help ::
BrenFaliver: ::takes the pipe wrench off his shoulder, gets it up into a swingable position, backs up a few steps. Takes a deep breath, scuttles forward the same steps and jumps up, bringing the wrench down onto the box with all his strength and gravity::
Kansas Kenickie: Woah!
Gila Orrak: :: Looks at the animal cage ::
Callista Tyrel: # :: Climbs over some debris and points palm light in direction of voice :: we are coming!
McFly: Yeah, of course. ::has a security officer escort Mason back to the TR::
Kansas Kenickie: are you really going to wack it?
Kansas Kenickie: use the key!
BrenFaliver: ....what key? ::is on the ground next to the box and wrench::
McFly: Crewman> # ::is stuck under a fallen bulkhead. Fire is lighting the otherwise dark room and inching closer to him::
Kansas Kenickie: the Federation standard black box key thingie
McFly: Crewman> # Please, hurry!
Kansas Kenickie: ::Points to the key hole:: it goes there
Callista Tyrel: # :: lets the chief take the lead...thinking he has been on a torn up ship before and knows what to look for from experience ::
Erich Jaenke: # :: Finds the stuck crewman ::
Kansas Kenickie: why would we make it unopenable
BrenFaliver: Why would it use a *KEY* though? That's so primitive.
Callista Tyrel: # Behind you sir. :: uses palm light to light up injured crewman ::
BrenFaliver: ((Did it open when I smacked it? I'll let you decide, KK))
Kansas Kenickie: somethings never change
McFly: Crewman> # ::sees Erich coming:: Thank god! I wasn't sure if anyone was alive.
Erich Jaenke: # I am unable to move this without risk of collapse.
Kansas Kenickie: Wrench> ::Bounces off the box and goes flight to the right and away::
McFly: Crewman> # I can still feel my legs but they tingle.
Callista Tyrel: # :: puts her " McGuyver " kit on the cluttered deck and retrieves a tricorder ::
BrenFaliver: ((HAHAHAH))
Kansas Kenickie: ::opens the cabinet on the wall, looks through it:: isn't the wench more Primitive?
BrenFaliver: ::sighs:: May I have the key?
Erich Jaenke: # :: Looks for something to brace the bulkhead ::
Kansas Kenickie: ::Tosses Bren a Keyring::
McFly: Crewman> # ::starts getting sleepy; struggles to keep his eyes open::
BrenFaliver: ::Pops open the box::
Erich Jaenke: # +Manticore+ This ship is pretty battered, and I have a crewman stuck under a bulkhead .
Callista Tyrel: # :: Scans fallen bulkhead :: Sir that bulkhead weighs too much to lift. Maybe emergency transport him out?
BrenFaliver: I should take this to Science and start processing the data I suppose
McFly: +Jaenke+ Really just one?
Kansas Kenickie: is it damaged or anything like that?
Callista Tyrel: # :: kneels to Injured Crewman :: Stay With us! We have another Ship to help now.
Kansas Kenickie: ::Takes a look inside::
BrenFaliver: Not that I can tell. It looks well-worn, a bit scuffed even inside, but I don't see any obvious damage
Kansas Kenickie: We can Blame Keb and not the Wrench
Gila Orrak: :: Looks at the animal in the cage :: What are you in there?
McFly: CaptMason> ::transports to the Bauer bridge; sees a few crewmen on the floor; his second in command struggling to get anything online::
BrenFaliver: Animal in cage> ::Is a miniature giant space hamster::
McFly: Crewman> # ::very sleepy:: I heard we were hit by another federation ship. Did you get them?
Keb: ::ponders:: Captain?
Erich Jaenke: # +Manticore+ We only found one, pretty sure there are more. I am bracing this bulkhead. Transport them to our sickbay.
McFly: Commander?
Erich Jaenke: # :: Looks at him :: We are investigating that.
BrenFaliver: ::Picks up the box, or its guts, and toddles off to Science::
Callista Tyrel: # :: replies to injured crewman on the fly :: Yes we took out their computer.
Kansas Kenickie: Good luck nerd
McFly: +Jaenke+ Roger that. Ops, send them to Vil
BrenFaliver: Thanks stickjock!
Keb: It's possible that it's a federation signature. It's got some of the markers, but it's so faint I can't be positive.
Callista Tyrel: # :: backs off to allow a transport to take place ::
Keb: There are a few other warp engines out ther ethat would leave similar traces.
Gila Orrak: :: Taps her finger on the cage, inserts it just a little...and get bit :: Ouch!
McFly: OpsGuy> ::taps the commands in and transports the crewman direction to Manticore sickbay::
Kansas Kenickie: ::Grabs the wrench, tosses it up and catches it:: I don't know what that is
Kansas Kenickie: ::Tosses wrench on the counter and exits behind Bren::
Callista Tyrel: #:: observes the crewman dematerialize away and turns to the chief :: What next sir.
McFly: That's really weird. I mean could it have been a ship that left before the explosion?
Gila Orrak: Why that little :: eyes roll back, slumps to the ground ::
BrenFaliver: ::Walks into Science, holding a heavy-arse box which he sets on the central console:: Ensign Orrak, when I said make yourself comfortable that isn't quite what I meant....
Kansas Kenickie: ::Walks off the lift and onto the Bridge::
Gila Orrak: :: out cold ::
Keb: It's possible. The faintness would normally suggest it's an older trail, but...all the readings suggest it's more recent.
Erich Jaenke: # :: Gets out his scanner :: Even my scanner is showing a lot of damage... +Manticore+ The Bauer is stable, but I don't believe I can affect repairs in a meaningful manner.
McFly: I don't like the sound of that.
BrenFaliver: Oof... ::quickly gets the data processing before walking over:: ::Kneels next to Gila:: ::gently shakes her should:: Ensign Orrak? Gila?
Keb: I don't like how it's not all going together in a logical way, either.
McFly: +Jaenke+ Understood. Are the strings holding well enough to be towed under warp?
Callista Tyrel: # :: picks up her Kit but continues to scan with her Tricorder ::
Kansas Kenickie: Box is open 'Captain'
BrenFaliver: Ughhh, computer, begin statistical analysis of black box data correlated by energy signature, by amplitude of signal, and distance from the original sensor banks. Also, uh, ::lightly taps his palm on Gila's cheek trying to wake her:: uhhh run a statistical noise analysis against the raw data to check for record degredation
Erich Jaenke: # +Manticore+ Um.,.. should be
McFly: Good, hopefully we'll get some answers.
Callista Tyrel: # Maybe we should find our way to the bridge sir.
Kansas Kenickie: it didn't look damaged
BrenFaliver: ::Pops up and into Science Chief's office, ignoring the dust and walks over to the small replicator:: Adrenaline inhalant solution, 50...no, 75mcgs
McFly: +Jaenke+ I like the confidence. If It breaks I'm telling them it was your fault.
Erich Jaenke: # +Manticore+ If we keep it slow.
BrenFaliver: ::walks back to Gila, looking at the console screens:: Computer, filter all active analyses to exclude known cosmic radiation sources in this sector
Kansas Kenickie: how's the other ship doing?
Gila Orrak: Ugh... what happened.
BrenFaliver: Ensign Orrak, this is a hell of a first impression. I guess we should note some kind of hamster allergy in your files ::places a small plastic vial under Gila's nose and squeezes it, putting an adrenaline mist into her lungs:: I hope you like running marathons
Gila Orrak: Ahhhh! :: Sits up quickly ::
Callista Tyrel: # Sir perhaps we should talk to this Bauer Captain? I don't know. Are you basing your judgement on the Bauer's structural integrity ...on observation ?
McFly: +Jaenke+ We'll crawl it. ::to keb:: Keb, I think we're done here and the Bauer needs a paint and a wax. Time to do what everyone thinks we do. Prepare the tractor beam and set a course to the nearest starbase. We'll tow the bauer.
Gila Orrak: Was that a Vol?
BrenFaliver: ::quickly pops up onto his heels from a kneeling position:: are you ok?!
BrenFaliver: Was what a vol?
McFly: ::looks at KK:: It's been better.
Gila Orrak: Err, was that, ugh, my head.
BrenFaliver: ::over his shoulder:: Computer, also, uhh, notate on each active analysis the vector and speed relative to the recording sensor for any energy sources
McFly: ((do you even know what you just said?))
BrenFaliver: ((Yes, I do))
Kansas Kenickie: ((you don't?))
Erich Jaenke: # :: Tyrel :: When you look over a problem, you need to know when you can't solve it.
McFly: ((What?! Of course I do!)))
BrenFaliver: ::pops over to the console and hurriedly looks through the information::
BrenFaliver: Ooooh, this is not great
Kansas Kenickie: ::Looks at Keb:: you think that thing will stay together if we tug it with us?
BrenFaliver: Computer, rerun the signal/noise analysis on this result
Callista Tyrel: # :: looks puzzled :: I must confess I have a lot to learn. Where to next Chief?
Erich Jaenke: # We need to strengthen the SIF for transport
BrenFaliver: +Kansas+ Hey, boss? I might have a problem. Several, actually, but one that you and I now share
Keb: ::shrugs:: We've got a strong tractor.
Kansas Kenickie: +Bren+ What kind of problem?
Callista Tyrel: # Uh I think Main Engineering ...or should we do it from the bridge?
Gila Orrak: :: Goes over and leans on the chair :: What is it Commander?
BrenFaliver: +Kansas+ I can send details to you if desired, but there is an anomaly that registers in both the data from the black box and the earlier set from the Bauer. A signal that can be roughly triangulated from both sets to the same location, and with an entropy value of less than .01---er, ok, so it may be consistent with a cloaking device. Not the most common make and model of cloaking device, but pretty close.
Erich Jaenke: # There are miracles and there are Miracles.

McFly: ::McFly flops around in the dark:: So I guess this is what they warned us about when they said we're overly dependent on computers. Anyone near the flashlights?
Gila Orrak: :: Looks at Jaenke :: Now what?
Callista Tyrel: :: looks at the Chief ::
McFly: Keb, do you know where the emergency lights switch is? Can't just press a button this time.
Vilanne: ::in sickbay, lights up a manual pad ,and uses it for light, as do the rest of the staff;; Stay still if you are unable to light your path folks, Med staff will be checking on everyone that was in here.

Callista Tyrel: :: walks over to an access hatch for palm lights, she opens it...and gets some equipment ::
Callista Tyrel: Gila...Here is a Palm Light ...::walks over and hands it to the Cardassian ::
Keb: ;;pulls out her personal flashlight from under the console and flips it on:: This is all I've got. I don't have an emergency switch--I think they shut everything down.

Keb: ::looks all spooky with teh flashlight lighting up her face from below::
Callista Tyrel: Do Cardassians see better in the dark than the daylight? Sorry, You are the First Cardassian I have ever met.

Gila Orrak: We are sensitive to light more so than most.
Callista Tyrel: Oh. I don't think humans see well in the dark..hence I went for the flashlights..::smiles:: Chief, should we be able to get the emergency lights flipped on without the computer?
Erich Jaenke: Now we need to wipe the core and reset it to factory.
Vilanne: +Engineering+ This is Chalice in sickbay - our independently run power from the rest of the ship (because we can eject and still run without aid of the ship), has went down. Can you please send someone to find out why our power went down?
Keb: I just hope they get life support back online in short order. Then we can figure out what's wrong with Manticore and...and what just happened.
Erich Jaenke: +bridge+ Hello, is this thing on? Either the bridge is getting this or the entire ship. Until the wipe and reset can occur do you wish any systems to be controlled by a shuttle?
Vilanne: (((KK! It's dark out... go back to bed, you are having hallucinations)))
Callista Tyrel: ( Kansas! HI. ::waves:: )
Gila Orrak: The consummate public speaker.
McFly: CaptMason> ::tries not to stumble in the dark:: Congratulations Captain. I believe you were able to do what the Sumadi couldn't accomplish. I do hope your team can get the power back on in time to get back to my ship. I'm not sure I've seen firepower come out a ship like Manticore before.
Erich Jaenke: There are limited emergency lighting via a chemical reaction.

Vilanne: +Eng+ Yes, Tyrel, thank you for the response. We should have independent power from the rest of the ship plus backup and nothing is working. I"m in the dark, only PADD's lighting.
McFly: CaptMason> I know that. I'm not blaming you. Doesn't change the fact I'm still afraid for my crew. I have no idea what kind of damage was done. They may be in escape pods for all I know.
Callista Tyrel: + Sickbay + Standby I am with the Chief.. He will want to know this.
Vilanne: +Tyrel+ Anything would be helpful, as I could be getting injuries while the crew is in the dark. Someome could be hurt badly.
McFly: ::looks at Keb:: Oh, might be a good idea. If we can get life support going that'll probably be something worth while to do.

Keb: ::using her flashlight to search for the emergency stash of flashlights on the bridge::
Vilanne: +Sci+ Chalice here. I am in Med Lab. Our independent power systems are down, and I have concerns with some of these cultures and samples that should not go into the wild. Can you supply any large containers that can be completely sealed off manually?
Erich Jaenke: +Bridge+ Some things should be starting up shortly, but cut off all comm channels.

Keb: Hopefully when it is, I can actually run this thing.
McFly: ((how did we leave space dock without an F12 key?))
Keb: ::moves back to her console::
Keb: ((Sovak took it))
Erich Jaenke: ((It arrives on Thursday))

Gila Orrak: :: Gets a good look at Erich and then suddenly goes face to face :: What is...?
Erich Jaenke: :: Stands mostly still, but cautious as she's in his bubble :: Whaaat?
Gila Orrak: Your eyes. They are black!

Callista Tyrel: :: Observes station with Nurse Nancy ::
Erich Jaenke: Betazoid... :: she still close ::

McFly: ((careful Keb, another girl is in Erich's bubble))
Gila Orrak: :: backs off a bit :: That is...if I may say, rather disconcerting.
Erich Jaenke: Just how much experience do you have with non-Cardassians?
Kansas Kenickie: ((::Moodlighting come/on in Engineering::))

Keb: Erich did it again. ::happily putting in coordinates::
Vilanne: Nurse Nancy> ::steps back from Tyrel:: Please sneeze or execute any fluids or gases into your elbow or take them to the hallway. They could be lethal to some of these patience, Engineer. ::stern warning, waggling her finger in the air::
Kansas Kenickie: ((:::oooooh, warp core mood lighting::))
Gila Orrak: :: walks out with Jaenke after being in the dark, moody computer core ::
Callista Tyrel: Well it looks like we are online and operational.
Vilanne: ((Kansas> Ooo, look at the perdy colors... ::waving fingers slowly in front of her face:: And there are trails ))
McFly: Alright Keb, get us back to our previous coordinates
McFly: And get me the Ethan Carter please
Vilanne: Nurse Nancy> Are we? We must alert Dr Chalice. ::points:: She's sealed in the Med Lab with some important cultures.
Gila Orrak: Why did you do that to my tear?
Callista Tyrel: Of course. Nurse.
Erich Jaenke: Tear?
Gila Orrak: :: Points to the middle of her forehead ::
Callista Tyrel: + Dr. Chalice + We have stabilized the computer Doctor. The lab is secure now Doctor.
Keb: ::nods:: Aye aye, Sir. ::makes the warp core sing and the stars dance::
Erich Jaenke: Oh, well... you got really close, so I thought I would return the favor. But mostly I wanted to know.
Gila Orrak: :: Enters the lift :: And now you know. Happy?
Vilanne: ::looks out the window of the sealed lab:: +Tyrel+ Are you completely sure? ::unwilling to take chances:: Are we sure it'll stay on?

McFly: ((late babe, feel better))
Vilanne: ((Take care KK))
Erich Jaenke: :: Enters the lift :: I'm working on it.
McFly: ::the view screen pops up captain Morris of the Ethan Carter::
Callista Tyrel: + Tyrel + We have regained normal Shipboard operations.
McFly: Morris> Ethan Carter here, you see to have everything back under control.
Gila Orrak: :: Exits the lift and enters sickbay ::
Callista Tyrel: + Vilanne + Unless there is an active contaminent inside with you..the sickbay is safe.
Vilanne: ::finishes what she was doing, then unseals the Med Labs door and exits, then re-seals it from the outside, manually, just in case::
McFly: Yes, and we're heading back for the Bauer now.
McFly: Morris> Aye. Do you require assistance?
Vilanne: ::walks up to Tyrel:: You must be one of our new engineers. I am Dr Chalice, Vilanne if you please.
Erich Jaenke: :: Exits onto the bridge :: +Tyrel+ Nice work. I am on the bridge, but please check systems as you tour the ship.
Keb: ::looks back at Erich as he enters::
Gila Orrak: :: Sees that Engineer and the doctor, sits in the waiting area ::
McFly: No thank you. But wouldn't mind your sensor logs of our situation in case they can offer any insight.
Callista Tyrel: :: looks to the CMO :: Hello Doctor I am the new Engineering Ensign, Callista Tyrel. Yes Hello. I am going to look at your main box here. Your Emergency operations should of kicked in, but from what you reported it did not.
McFly: Morris> We'll transfer those right over, Ethan Carter out.
Vilanne: ::to Tyrel:: Please make sure our independent system is fully working again. I would hate to lose a patient because it wasn't stable.
McFly: ::screen cuts back to star view:: I love short conversations like that.
Callista Tyrel: :: walks over to main Medical Computer :: Of Course Doctor. I suppose while you are here you can scan me to see why I have been sporadically sneezing.
McFly: Keb, once we return, continue searching for the starbases black box.
Vilanne: As soon as you are finished, I will do that Eng Tyrel.
Erich Jaenke: :: Stands next to Keb :: Is the bridge functional?
Callista Tyrel: :: opens Kit and and opens SIckbay Main computer access and begins looking at it :: It should of switched on..hmmm.......
Vilanne: Nurse Nancy> Doctor, there is a new patient that just came in. ::motions to Gila::
Vilanne: Nurse Nancy> DO you want her at a biobed?
Vilanne: Yes, please.
Vilanne: Nurse Nancy> ::to Gila Orrak:: Could you follow me? we'll get you to a biobed. ::waddles over to BIobed 4:: And hop up here. ::pats::
Erich Jaenke: +Tyrel+ As a project for you, draw up a plan to enable backup functionality using support craft.
Gila Orrak: :: Gets up and sits on the bed ::
Callista Tyrel: + Chief Jaenke + Working on the Chief Sickbay Computer Sir...I think it was an error at the Starbase ..that led to the Medical Safety systems not kicking in. I will let you know when I have more info.
Vilanne: ::vil makes one last check on the two patients that were still in sickbay during the Dark Season::
Keb: ::nods to Erich, briefly taking his hand and squeezing it:: Everything seems to be. Did we put any protections in to keep something from overtaking it again?
Gila Orrak: If you find any listening devices I don't know about let me know.
McFly: ACTION> MANTICORE ENTERS THEIR PREVIOUS COORDINATES
Callista Tyrel: + Chief + Why thank you Chief...I love playing...errr....working with shuttles.
Vilanne: Nurse Nancy> These are just standard vitals the biobed piks up, it helps the medical staff get a baseline on you. What is your complain?
Erich Jaenke: It's a race, like an infamous Terran once said... if you encounter a wall, go around, over, under...whatever you have to do.
Callista Tyrel: :: physically extracts LCARS board...and looks at some ODN wiring. :: Oh dear there it is.
Keb: ((I'm laughing so hard right now Erich))
Vilanne: ::hears "Ok Dear", meanders over to her:: What happened? Is that fixable?
Gila Orrak: I am giving your medical files a baseline for comparison in case...things go badly
Erich Jaenke: (nice)
Keb: I guess the other question is...are they okay?
McFly: Keb, continue searching for the starbases black box. We still need that info.
Vilanne: I had hope they don't get any worse than this was. I would hate to have patients die!
Callista Tyrel: :: does some more scanning :: Quite fixable. :: smiles and after a few minutes closes things up ::
Callista Tyrel: Bad ODN cable.
Keb: ::turns to McFly:: Aye, Sir. I'll do my best.
Vilanne: Good, good. Ok, I'll leave you to your work. Thank you.
Vilanne: ::walks over to BIobed 4. And who have we here....
Erich Jaenke: I could go for a hamberder later, presuming replicators are up.
Keb: ::refocuses on her console, this time searching hard::
Callista Tyrel: Doctor Chalice...A word?
Keb: Replicators are your job, Erich. But...I'll join you for that, of course.
Vilanne: :;turns back to hear Tyrel:: Of course, one moment.
Keb: ::furrows her brow:: That's trange...
Vilanne: ::to Gila:: I'm sorry, with the power output, things are hectic. Please give Nancy your symptoms, and I will be right back.
Vilanne: ::goes over to Tyrel:: Yes Engineer?
Gila Orrak: I am the only Cardassian serving on a Starfleet vessel.
Keb: Captain, it doesn't make sense, but...the sensors are reporting a third warp signature leaving the area. I'm going to check that they're working right...

Vilanne: We'll get you too, Callista. About time for both of you
McFly: I mean certain portions of it are enjoyable
Callista Tyrel: ( Two New crewmember physicals in one sim? There will be cackles of glee by the medical staff for sure! )

Manticore is ordered to sector 821 just within the Federations
deep space territory. Upon arrival they found a Starbase
destroyed by a ship gone rogue. Suddenly all systems stopped

shut down the computer core thus ending the ship's brief

Callista Tyrel: :: sneezes quickly :: + McFly + Sorry sir. Well get to the bottom of this. The fact we have power, and that current life support systems are still functional suggest some sort of operating system error with the computer.
Jack Ryan: Callista
McFly: +Jaenke+ Nice to have you functioning. What's going on with the computer?
Erich Jaenke: +McFly+ Access is scrambled for all. Did you change anything up there? Did Kenickie do something?

Kansas Kenickie: ::Sneers, looks at McFly:: and I didn't do anything... yet
Keb: Someone had to be trying, Captain, if they were going to shut us out without shutting down the ship.
Vilanne: Nancy>Yes, doctor. Want them evicted?

Kansas Kenickie: Ensign Bonb-O> Ryan report to sickbay on the double
McFly: CaptMason> Look, it's not a problem. We'll disable your weapons and engines like we did to the Sumadi and get this figured out. No worries about a starbase to destroy now.
Jack Ryan: +Aye Ensign..
Jack Ryan: ::Takes turbolift to sickbay::
Keb: ((I see you Vil))
Callista Tyrel: Nothing. It's not an issue of power or a data line error....something with the computer.. Did it not like the data we compiled..:: talks to self to solve problem ::
Jack Ryan: Sickbay.... 1st time i´ve been here
Erich Jaenke: Doctor, clearly I...I.. ACHOO! am needed in engineering.. is there something I can take?
Jack Ryan: ::walks through the doors of sickbay::
Vilanne: +kk+ can you safely have him site to site? Biobed 4
Kansas Kenickie: Ensign Bob-O> +Vilanne+ Doc, I have Ryan reporting to you. I found him unconscious in engineering moments ago
Keb: ::rewires something major, the whole helm console flickers as if rebooting::
McFly: I don't think you understand Captain. This ship will tear you apart. You and the Ethan Carter over there need to get the hell away from us.
Erich Jaenke: What? Great. I am going to engineering. :: turns :: Permission to take Orrak with me?
Jack Ryan: *Begins sneezing uncontrollably*
McFly: ACTION> SHIELDS RAISE
Callista Tyrel: + Chief Erich Jaenke + Chief just an idea... Do you think this has something to do with the Data Compilation we undertook in the Engineering Computer?
Kansas Kenickie: ((Vil, That was from an NCP, so iff i Confused you))
Keb: ;;pulls out and looks at captain Mason:: If we can't control the ship, I don't think you have that power, either, Sir.
Gila Orrak: What?
Gila Orrak: You?
Keb: ::turns to look at the helm console:: I think I might have gotten some control back, Captain McFly, but--it's going to take a minute or two to reboot, if it even worked.
Erich Jaenke: :: Gets up and heads to the bed Orrak is siting on ::
Gila Orrak: I suppose the exam can wait.
Vilanne: No fights here, Erich, thats an order!
Kansas Kenickie: Captain, you want me to try and manually pull that screen up and look through the window behind it?
Keb: I isolated helm from the main ship OS and linked it directly to the flight lines, but...
Gila Orrak: Have you ever been around Cardassians doctor?
Vilanne: ::preps knockout hypo if either tangle::
Keb: It's a really crude fix.
McFly: Do what you can Keb, we'll see if it works
Vilanne: Wheres Kansas when I need her!
Jack Ryan: ::Walks into sickbay::
Keb: If it worked, I'll only have manual flight controls. It's an old emergency backup procedure.
Erich Jaenke: :: Motions Orrak to follow ::
Jack Ryan: I Presume you are the ships doctor..
Kansas Kenickie: ((oh sure now you want my heavy hand))
Gila Orrak: :: Orrak gets up ::
Keb: ::watches the helm boot up in Safe Mode::
Erich Jaenke: I'll leave a body for you Doctor :: Exits ::
McFly: I think if you pull the screen up we'll be sucked into space, Kansas.
Vilanne: No, I have not, but there is a level of protocal that will be observed here, no matter your race, color, creed, ethical beliefs, or anything
Gila Orrak: :: rolls her eyes as she trails behind him ::
Erich Jaenke: :: Walking briskly to a lift ::
McFly: ((no one going to see that shields are raised?))
Kansas Kenickie: ::Point at the screen:: There is a window behind that
BrenFaliver: ::Grunts acknowledgement that the shields are raised from under Science-1::
Keb: I'm going to need some kind of visual, Captain--I don't have sensor control or maps.
Erich Jaenke: ((If access is off Erich would not know))
Jack Ryan: Doctor?
Erich Jaenke: :: Enters the lift, watches Orrak enter ::
Keb: ::looking at the booting system in dismay:: I do have...thrusters, impulse, no warp control.
Gila Orrak: Are you always like this?
Callista Tyrel: Hmm....A Corrupted Data File. That could be it. :: Talks to herself and the Warp Core :: Need to shut the bloody thing down... Power down the computer..shut it down. Damn.
Vilanne: ::turns to the person that got past Nurse Nancy:: are you here to fight someone as well?
Erich Jaenke: Are you always a... :: grits teeth :: hard headed individual?
Jack Ryan: Me?
Jack Ryan: No
Jack Ryan: I Was ACHOO told to report ACHOO Here
Gila Orrak: :: Looks at him :: I do what needs done.
Erich Jaenke: So that's a yes.. :: exits into main engineering ::
Jack Ryan: Im Cadet Jack Ryan.
McFly: ACTION> TACTICAL DISPLAYS SHOW USS BAUER BEING TARGETED BY WEAPONS
Keb: ::tests the controls gently with a short forward then all stop and feels the motion--probably the dampeners are not responding right:: We've got some control, Captain, but I'm not sure of our position relative to the other ships.
Kansas Kenickie: ::Pokes at her console:: Weapons are hot Captain
Callista Tyrel: Welcome back chief. Hello Gila.
Vilanne: ::feels a disturbance, thinks it could be shields going up... but decides it's just Nurse Nancy waddling nby::
Erich Jaenke: Tyrel, report.
Keb: ::looks at KK:: Can you please keep your proclivities to yourself, Commander?
Gila Orrak: Oh so you remember her name.
BrenFaliver: ::Swears, many sparks fall onto his face::
Keb: We know you like weapons.
Erich Jaenke: :; shrugs ::
Vilanne: Cadet Ryan, I don't see your name on my list of physicals, did you check in with Nurse Nancy?
Jack Ryan: Uh...
Callista Tyrel: Warp core is in "safe mode' however we have no idea what the computer is doing from here. For All I know it is probably going to sink another starship.
Kansas Kenickie: ::Glances over her shoulder at McFly::
Kansas Kenickie: ((Keb - huh?))
Jack Ryan: ::Lying says:: Yes yes i did.
Keb: ((weapons are "hot"....couldn't resist the joke))
Erich Jaenke: I could not get any command or database access.
Vilanne: ::glances over at Nancy, who gives "the look" to Vil:: I see... and you are here for?
Jack Ryan: I was Told to report here
Jack Ryan: By An Ensign B Somethin
Erich Jaenke: I don't believe the problem is physical, and I think I am the only one that could have created such a network mess.
Callista Tyrel: I suggest we somehow kill all power to the computer.
Jack Ryan: *Sneezes Uncontrollably*
Vilanne: By whom ? And what for? Computer is not updating us as to this information, so you... ::backs up a couple feet:: Containment field, around this Cadet, 3 feet.
Callista Tyrel: Sir, :: looks to Gila and the Chief :: How so ??? You lost me
Gila Orrak: So it was you. :: referring to Erich ::
Vilanne: Are you here about that sneeze, Cadet?
Keb: ::really not wanting to fly blind::
Kansas Kenickie: ::Tries to turn weapons off::
Jack Ryan: Fine I ACHOO Havent Had A Physical
McFly: ((anyone going to announce that shields are up and the Bauer has sights on it?))
Jack Ryan: No I was found unconicoious in engineering
Jack Ryan: and now i cant stop sneezing
Erich Jaenke: I send signals along the ODN lines. Those are working, so it's likely a security lockout.
Keb: ((I don't think Keb's console shows that right now))
Kansas Kenickie: ::moves Karl away from TAC:::
Erich Jaenke: ((404 Shield Status Not Found))
Vilanne: Unconscious? Ok, take 1 step backwards and hop yourself up onto that biobed and I'll get started finding out what's going on with you. Engineering, you say?
Vilanne: ::remembers that Erich was sneezing also::
Jack Ryan: ::Gets onto the biobed
Jack Ryan: Yes enginnering is where i was stationed
Kansas Kenickie: McFly, shield are up and Trop are online and ready to go
Jack Ryan: im an engineer
Erich Jaenke: I don't know if I can regain control.. but I'm not sure I want to do the solution I wager would work.
Keb: ::sudden thought--to Erich: Can you find a window? I need our location to fly!::
Jack Ryan: ACCCCCCCHHHHHHOOOO
Callista Tyrel: We may have no choice Chief....This may of been what happened to the space station.
McFly: Can you shut it down?!
Kansas Kenickie: Trying now
McFly: ::looks over at Mason:: Looks like you're stuck with us.
Keb: Captain--I'm going to try to get us out of range.
McFly: ::to mason:: You need to call your ship out now.
Kansas Kenickie: ::Works on overriding the controls::
Vilanne: ::steps forward to the biobed controls:: We'll be doing some scan... ::silences while he sneezes:: scans to determine if an allergen, contagion or other is causing you to sneeze like that. Have you had that long?
Erich Jaenke: :: sniffles ::
Jack Ryan: No
McFly: ACTION> NO SYSTEMS ARE RESPONDING TO KEB'S OR KK'S OVERRIDES
Erich Jaenke: :: points to Orrak :: Don't go catching this cold.
Jack Ryan: Started near the end of my shift.
McFly: CaptMason> I'm beginning to think you're right
Gila Orrak: A cold? From you? As if, commander.
Jack Ryan: soon before i reported here
Kansas Kenickie: ::Changes around Data crystals to try and get control::
Keb: It...it's stopped responding, Captain--I'm trying, but we're not moving at all now.
Vilanne: I see. Were you in contact with anyone or anything that was also sneezing? Did you touch any chemicals? Do you have any contagions you were around?
Erich Jaenke: Yeah, the space station...
Jack Ryan: I Was Around Ensign Callista Tyrel She Was Sneezing
Callista Tyrel: ::looks to warp core :: CHief...the core, it's powering up....could be weapons....or....worse.
Vilanne: Sorry, I have to re-ask history, but as you probably know, the computers are down ,so I cannot pull up past records. Do you have any allergies? Wait, Someone else in Engineering was also sneezing?
Erich Jaenke: That means we don't have a lot of time. I need to attempt a hard reset and restore.. wait, not restore, just a reset.
Vilanne: ::thinking, Erich, Callista and Jack?::
Jack Ryan: Yes Ensign Callista Tyrel..
Vilanne: ((Are com's back?))
McFly: CaptMason> +Bauer, Ethan Carter+ Mason here, you both need to get out of this system till Manticore can regain control.
Kansas Kenickie: I am not getting any control over weapons or shields ::Annoyed now::
Jack Ryan: Im Half Klingon if that has anything to do with it
Gila Orrak: I understand what a reset is, but no restore?
Callista Tyrel: ugh...can't we just pull the plug chief?
Erich Jaenke: If this is the result of a virus, it could be deep in memory.
Keb: ::thinking to Erich: Can you get me ANY control up here?::
Vilanne: Not sure, but you said you were unconscious? What do you remember just before that?
Jack Ryan: Trying to restore main power to helm.
Jack Ryan: it failed
Jack Ryan: i pressed the button
McFly: ACTION> THE BAUER AND ETHAN CARTER BEGIN POWERING UP FOR WARP
Jack Ryan: then thats all she wrote
Erich Jaenke: :: to Tyrel :: We need to do more than pull the plug, We need to give the Manticore that new ship smell.. in a manner of speaking.
Kansas Kenickie: We can disconnect weapons from the system, like cut the cord
McFly: ACTION> MANTICORE FIRES AT BAUER CAUSING HEAVY DAMAGE
McFly: ACTION> ETHAN CARTER WARPS OUT OF THE SYSTEM
Vilanne: I see. ::thinking:: Do you have any other symptoms?? ::biobed starts trying to take vitals, but with the computer system offline, nothing is working right::
Erich Jaenke: +Bridge+ Erich here. :: hears something :: What is going on
Jack Ryan: As far as i know
Jack Ryan: Wait doctor
Jack Ryan: the comm badges work
Vilanne: One moment please. ::goes to Nancy:: Get out the antiques, biobed sensors are on the fritz.
Kansas Kenickie: ::Feels the ship tug with weapons going off:: Weapons fire
Erich Jaenke: Tyrel and Orrak, with me to the main core...
McFly: ****! +Jaenke+ Chief, the ship just beat the crap out of the Bauer. Get me systems back now!
Erich Jaenke: :: Exits Main engineering with Orrak and...
Vilanne: Nurse Nancy> Of course doctor. ::waddles over to the storage container with the antiques in them, and starts pulling out a couple containers, and if anyone could see her face, she is grinning that frightening evil grin Vil gets once in a while::
Jack Ryan: Doctor.
Erich Jaenke: :: Enters the nearest lift :: Main core...
Jack Ryan: *Passes out on the bio bed*
Erich Jaenke: :: waves the others in, holding the door ::
Keb: ::winces at McFly's yell::
Vilanne: ::takes the first container from Nancy:: Thanks. I will need you to help me with his vitals... and get some vials from the lab, we'll have to do a blood draw manually
Gila Orrak: :: Orrak enters ::
McFly: CaptMason> ::despaired:: Oh my god. +Bauer+ Bauer, come in. This is Mason. Do you read?
Callista Tyrel: ::turns pale while following the chief:: SIr....we might have to use the tubes...

Erich Jaenke: :: the lift speeds to the main computer core ::
Callista Tyrel: GIla, any idea would help...
Kansas Kenickie: ::walks over to McFly:: I can go down to weapons control and smack them with a hammer until the power plug is pulled
Keb: ::feeling helpless but still trying to regain control of helm::
Erich Jaenke: :: It opens to a series of tall columns, lined with isolinear chips and bioneural circuits ::
McFly: You might need to do that.
Vilanne: ::sees all these people traypsing through sickbay:: Do any of you have any idea what it is we do here? I am considering a quarantine and you just waltz back in here!
Gila Orrak: I think he is disconnecting the command controls from the rest of the ship.
Erich Jaenke: There are three columns making up this core. We are going to disconnect them manually.
Vilanne: ::pulling gloves, mask, and scrubs on for her own protection, as are the rest of the med staff:: Nancy, I need you at the front door. This is not a corridor!
McFly: ACTION> MANTICORE CHANGES ITS HEADING TO THE DIRECTION THE ETHAN CARTER WARPED TO
Callista Tyrel: :: looks up in awe over the computer core which is clearly...gone nuts :: Aye Sir.
Kansas Kenickie: my hands are tied up here and Erich is working on the whole system, I am worried we will fire on another ship or worse a planet... with the planet killer
Erich Jaenke: :: Points Orrak to go to the one on the left, points Tyrel to the right ::
Erich Jaenke: :: At Alpha console ::
Callista Tyrel: ::proceeds to the Right Manual Disconnect panel ::
Erich Jaenke: We have to do this in unison, understand?
McFly: ACTION> MANTICORE JUMPS TO WARP
Erich Jaenke: +McFly+ In a moment, everything should go...dark.
Vilanne: ::back to Jack:: Cadet Ryan, are you with me? ::reaches up to put her stethoscope into her ears and places it on his chest:: Just breath normally
McFly: +Jaenke+ roger that Chief
Jack Ryan: ::Breathes::
Jack Ryan: ::Wakes up::
Callista Tyrel: Aye Sir. :: wipes sweat from her forehead ::
Jack Ryan: ...
Jack Ryan: What...
Jack Ryan: is going on doc..
Vilanne: Nurse Nancy> ::has waddled back to the frontdesk to hold up anyone else that tries to meander through sickbay without scribs, gown, mask, gloves::
Erich Jaenke: One... two...three...
Erich Jaenke: :: pulls down a lever ::
Kansas Kenickie: are we moving?! ::Almost sounds panicked::
Jack Ryan: *Begins speaking in klingon uncontrollably*
Gila Orrak: :: pulls hers down ::
Vilanne: You lost consciousness again Cadet. I have to take your vitals manually, so just hang in there.
Callista Tyrel: ::pulls down lever ::
Erich Jaenke: Tyrel....

Erich Jaenke: Just wait until Erich sings...
Kansas Kenickie: I might not be here next week, surgery tomorrow on my hand. So I might be here but Mum

Kansas Kenickie: nothing else than that, and nice job peeps. no one panic'd besides me "Slightly"
Vilanne: She doesn't even need that much ,she's a leathal weapon
Kansas Kenickie: I can through with both perfectly Tyrel

Erich Jaenke: If only it was a triangle.
Kansas Kenickie: ::takes a seat:::
Erich Jaenke: :: taps :: +Tyrel+ Can I get an engineering status report?
Kansas Kenickie: Do you need any help with your injured?
Callista Tyrel: + Erich Jaenke + Yes Chief, all systems are nominal. Opsguy sent some sensor data from the ....wreckage down to Engineering. I am currently reviewing it .
Gila Orrak: I was summoned here, presumably to update your records.
Vilanne: ::nods:: Well, the nurse is busy at the moment, but I'm sure she'll get you started. Why not head to BIobed 1. You'll have BB2 in between you and Mr Sneezy Engineer there. ::sweet smile::
Keb: ::swings her legs idly--not a lot to do right now, with the ship maintaining position and everyone chatting::
McFly: (( Let's go ahead and have Keb join us since if Voyager taught us anything, it's that Helm is senior staff too. ))
Keb: ((Opsguy's gonna lower the CC a LOT then...but sure!))
Kansas Kenickie: OPsGuy> ::nods for Keb to go ahead to the meeting::
McFly: (( guess that means ops should be here too but OpsGuy doesn't deserve to be at the same table as everyone else.))
Vilanne: I"ll be back with you momentarily. ::motions to biobed 1:: Just relax.
Erich Jaenke: +Tyrel+ Have the computer perform a standard analysis, use the engineering core
Kansas Kenickie: Annoying Karl> ::Shows up on the Bridge and heads to TAC::
Keb: ::slips into the meeting without interrupting::
Vilanne: ::steps over to Erich, while Nancy waddles over to Biobed 1::
Keb: ::notes Erich's empty seat with some concern::
Vilanne: Vil to Erich> So what are you bringing to contaminate my sickbay with this time?
Erich Jaenke: Some flesh eating virus probably... I tried a computer virus, but it didn't byte.
Callista Tyrel: + Erich Jaenke + Aye, Chief. Just looking at the Data, I think one big explosion but some smaller ones too. We got to take a damage assessment course that was new this year in the academy.
Erich Jaenke: +Tyrel+ Take back the scans as far as a week, seeing what events lead to the explosion.
Vilanne: ::smirks at Erich: Ever wonder if your humor is affected by your illnesses? I would say in this case, it's true. ::rolls eyes:: Ok... so vitals. Lemme see here.
Erich Jaenke: Wow, this is strange...
Callista Tyrel: :: taps console :: Aye Chief. ::sneezes :: Err...sorry must be something from the Starbase...uhm..errr....Engineering computer is compiling.
Kansas Kenickie: ::Looks at images, zooms in::
Erich Jaenke: +Tyrel+ Wait, you have something too?
McFly: ::looks at everyone around the table:: I'd like you to meet Captain Mason of the USS Bauer. As most of you should know by now, we were sent here to investigate the destruction of Starbase 314. Evidently, these guys saw the whole thing go down.
McFly: ((sorry, my fingers aren't typing well tonight))
Vilanne: Nurse Nancy> ::finishes her waddle over to Gila:: So... New Scientist, eh?? We need one so badly. Its exciting to have cultural exchanges like this. ::keeps rattling on, rather nervous with the rumors she's heard about cardassians, but doesn't mention it::
Callista Tyrel: + Erich Jaenke + uh I just sneezed sir. I haven't sneezed since I was back at the academy. Do new recruits sneeze when they come aboard Manticore?
Gila Orrak: Am I not to be the Lead Science Officer here?
Erich Jaenke: +Tyrel+ Unless they are exposed to me..
Vilanne: Nurse Nancy> I'm really not sure. That department has had quite a few department heads in the last 15 years. I hope we keep you for some time... so much paperwork when we have staff changes. Just relax now, I am going to set up the biobed for you.
Kansas Kenickie: were we able to get security footage from the station?
Erich Jaenke: +Conference Room Vid+ Any and all information would be useful.
Gila Orrak: Are your systems calibrated for Cardassian?
Kansas Kenickie: ::Scans over the files sent::
Callista Tyrel: :: watches the computer compile data :: + Erich Janeke + The computer is asking if we have additional data , did the two starships that survived have data available to us? Uh...well regarding sneezing should I see a Doctor?
Erich Jaenke: +Tyrel+ I believe more is incoming.
Vilanne: Erich, ::Vil looks at him seriously:: You have some form of contagion. I am going to have to treat you here, and keep you contained until any germs have been removed. We can't have something like a virus running about the ship. You are going to have to fill out a questionarre. Nurse Nancy will bring you a PADD.. Questions like where have you been for the last 2 weeks, who have you been in contact with, what bodily fluids have you shared with anyone, ... standard checklist.
Callista Tyrel: + Erich Jaenke + I will continue to observe the computer processing data. Engineering core is healthy by the way. No sneezing computer. Just Ensigns apparently.
Kansas Kenickie: ::Smiles hearing Vilanne scold Erich and not her this time::
Erich Jaenke: I figured as much... I would consider a similar protocol for Ensign Tyrel. She has exhibited sneezing
McFly: CaptMason> At 0200 hours, the USS Sumadi suddenly powered up in spacedock during heavy maintenance. At which time her crew went over. The ship pried itself away from the docking clamps and began firing shots within space dock. It then made its way out where we disabled its weapon systems. From what we know the crew attempted to gain control but evidently never did. The ship went back into the station and this time we disabled its engines. That's when it used its starboard thrusters and pushed itself into the station on the inside. Didn't take long for the station to be destroyed.
Erich Jaenke: Mostly with Keb, though I don't know if she has anything... I have been around both Jack and Callista.... ah crap..
Vilanne: Nurse Nancy> Well, I was just checking on that. We have a few standard body types, but... I may have to set up a full panel of scans so we have the latest physiology. I hope you don't mind.
Erich Jaenke: :: Watching the video conference ::
McFly: CaptMason> ::looks over at Kansas:: We weren't able to collect any data from the station. We had been scanning for its black box when your ship arrived.
Gila Orrak: I am a botanist, so I am aware of complete scans.
Callista Tyrel: :: looks at the Shape of the Manticore on the MSD and stifles a sneeze
Kansas Kenickie: Perfect pincer move ::watches the video of the other ships::
Erich Jaenke: I mean I have not shared any bodily fluids with Ensign Tyrel, just that she has some out of the ordinary sneezing.
Kansas Kenickie: ::holds PADD up and watches vid again::
Vilanne: Nurse Nancy> Good good, this will help the doctor get a good baseline anyway ,so if something happens, which it probably will around here... I mean it won't, of course not. But well, for the docs records, yeah, records. ::trying to smile::
Kansas Kenickie: ::Nudges McFly:: watch
Erich Jaenke: Reading your minds in sickbay is, interesting. Perhaps this is what being drunk is like.
Callista Tyrel: (omg lol )
Keb: ::winces at the descriptions::
McFly: ((For Keb's sake, I hope you haven't been sharing bodily fluids with Callista))
McFly: ::leans over to see what KK wants to show him::
Keb: And...the people?
Kansas Kenickie: ::Points:: Both sides go at the same time
Vilanne: Knock off the mind reading, Erich... in fact, I will numb you to it while you are in here, because Patient Medical records are off limits to non-medical staff.
McFly: CaptMason> No one survived. The entire station exploded rather quickly.
Kansas Kenickie: It is impressive
Gila Orrak: Am I your first Cardassian? We are less intimidating without those ridiculous uniforms.
Kansas Kenickie: in a bad way of course
McFly: ::whispers:: A chain reaction. Must have hit the right spot. Its almost like the ship knew where to hit.
Erich Jaenke: Wait wait. I am only getting emotional impressions.
Vilanne: ::smirks, grabs a hypo, mixes a few meds together to treat general viral symptoms, as well as a stronger block, so he's not invading privacy:: Ok, this is just an initial treatment until I can get that PADD back with the answers to your questionarre. You may feel slightly dizzy, so ly back and relax, or even sleep after you finish that.
Kansas Kenickie: I couldn't plan something this perfect... timing wise
McFly: ::To Mason:: I hate to insinuate this, but are you certain the Sumadi crew had absolutely nothing to do with this?
Keb: ::puts her hand over her mouth:: That's awful. ::starts to reach over to pat Mason's arm, but pulls back hesitatingly::
Vilanne: ::injects Erich:: And this will help you with that sneezing, so you aren't contaminating my sickbay! Nancy will be overshortly.
Vilanne: ::places the hypospray down:: No leaving, Erich. Stay!
Erich Jaenke: :: As the hypo injects the compound into his bloodstream he beings to say something :: Right aw... :: and falls unconscious, dropping the PADD to the floor ... clink! ::
McFly: CaptMason> It's alright, Captain. Everyone had their doubts about the crew when this was going on. It's only because they're dead but even that isn't entirely a deterrent. I mean supposedly command codes weren't working. I just don't understand how that's possible.
Gila Orrak: :: Notices the officer on the other table falling asleep. She notices the PADD landing face up ::
Callista Tyrel: :: watches the computer data display pouring over records and other things ::
Kansas Kenickie: Keb, work with OPS and see if you can find that black box from the station
Gila Orrak: Swell :: She says to herself ::
Keb: But...didn't you just say the crew disembarked to the station before the...the events?
Keb: ::turns to KK:: Yessir.
Vilanne: ::steps over to Gila, talks to Nurse Nancy first:: Nancy, I need you to prepare a PADD with the indepth questionarre, 4-212A, B, C and D. We'll see what his answers are then decide if we want the rest of the series and to run viral panels on all of those he's been near. Take complete fluid panelsand get them to the lab.
Kansas Kenickie: That box would answer the questions about the crew]
Vilanne: Nurse Nancy> Yes Doctor Chalice. ::waddles back to Erich::
Erich Jaenke: :: Erich is sleeping, apparently in a REM cycle ::
Vilanne: Vil to Gila> A bit busy today, our med techs are at lunch. So... good to have you aboard, ::glances up at biobed overhead readouts:: Ms. Orrak... I"m sorry, I am not aware how Cardassians address each other in a medical, or even informal as I like to be here. I am Doctor Chalice, feel free to call me Vilanne.
Callista Tyrel: + Erich Janeke + Ensign Tyrel here. The Engineering Computer Core has finished compiling the data.
McFly: CaptMason> No, the crew of the Sumadi went abord the ship. They were on the station for the evening while the ship was being worked on. Then they were stuck on the ship up until the end.
Gila Orrak: This is very different from a Cardassian vessel.
Keb: ::nods:: Hopefully the box can tell us stuff, yes.
Vilanne: Nurse Nancy> ::back at Erich's biobed now, bringing a PADD with her, starts bringing up all of the required questionarres in preparation to wake and have him fill them out:: ::clears throat:: Mr Jaenke, no sleeping on the job now.
Keb: We'll get a full sensor sweep out for it.
Keb: Might need to take a shuttle out to sift through debris if it doesn't show quickly.
Erich Jaenke: :: No response to Tyrel ::
Kansas Kenickie: With the station gone, does your ship need any assistants from damages?
Callista Tyrel: Hmm, I wonder if the Two Cores on the Saucer would reach the same result. :: spoken softly to her work station ::
Vilanne: ::soft smile:: Yes, we are certainly unique. I've been on this ship for so long, I've forgotten what home was like or even the medical training center back on Earth.
Erich Jaenke: :: sleeping ::
McFly: Keb, scan for the special material the box is made out of. The explosion could have knocked around its transmitter.
Callista Tyrel: :: blinks :: Oh I wonder if the chief got my comm. + Erich Jaenke + Chief the ...computer has finished compiling the data. Chief? :: said Unaware the Chief is asleep::
Vilanne: Nurse Nancy> ::whaps the PADD onto his chest:: Excuse me... YOU are being paged. ::points at the ceiling, as if the COMs were coming overhead::
Kansas Kenickie: ::Tries to replay the vid::
Erich Jaenke: :: Still sleeping, restfully it was not known ::
McFly: CaptMason> Thank you commander, we were able to get far enough away from the explosion. Just a few scrapes. Nothing damage teams haven't been able to fix.
Callista Tyrel: Oh my. Hmm. Notes her concern to the ranking engineering officer who notes that it should be okay, and that if the Chief is in sickbay he may not be able to respond ::
Vilanne: ::to Gila:: I have to say that our basic Cardassian medical profile left a LOT to be desired. Your scans are going to be invaluable to me here in sickbay as we step into a new era of information and crew sharing.
Gila Orrak: :: a bit loud and towards Erich :: I think the injection knocked him out.
Gila Orrak: Good. I know of no explosives or other devices other than my subdermal UT.
Vilanne: ::turns to look at Erich:: MOre like whatever the contagion he aquired. ::smirks and whispers:: He's a frequent flyer here.
McFly: ACTION> SUDDENLY EVERY COMPUTER SYSTEM STOPS RESPONDING TO INPUT COMMANDS
Keb: ::stops being able to review her scan data::
Keb: ::pokes at her padd::
Erich Jaenke: (I'm sorry, but I can't help with that yet)
Vilanne: Oh my... ::frowns:: Was that even a concern? ::taps on the biobed monitor as it freezes, no more heart beats, no more blood pressure, and no other readings, all of them frozen:: What in the world...
Vilanne: ::glances around sickbay::
Kansas Kenickie: ::Grumbles a curse and retries to play the Vid::

Kansas Kenickie: ::Paused::
Vilanne: ::paused::
McFly: ::evil grin:: my first cliff hanger
Vilanne: Sickbay Screens> ::paused::
Vilanne: LOL
Erich Jaenke: It's just a conspiracy to blame the Chief Engineer
McFly: KK, komments?
Callista Tyrel: Uh Engineering Master Display is locked up? Oh no!
McFly: well if he'd stop swapping body fluids with people and getting sick
Kansas Kenickie: nice work and Lets see some logs to get things interesting
Vilanne: Seriously, can you make that an order, Boss?
McFly: like, how did Erich get his cold anyway?
McFly:
Kansas Kenickie: I think I have the sniffles'
McFly: I don't know Vil, I kind of like sharing body fluids sometimes.
Vilanne: Seriously, because if he really has one... it's going to be MUCH more serious than what we currently get in this century.
Callista Tyrel: Given the crisis at hand, I think we will be working sick .
Erich Jaenke: He likes everyone.....
Vilanne: ::smirks at KK::
Callista Tyrel:
Vilanne: Well, he'll have a hazmat suit then... because I am not going to have a epidemic!
Kansas Kenickie:
Erich Jaenke: From KK
Keb: ::pokes Erich::
McFly: TBS will be just a few minutes. Gives everyone time to see they have an issue.
Callista Tyrel: are you guys normally this silly?
McFly: yes
Vilanne: A yep
Erich Jaenke: Yes
McFly: it's even worse now that I'm in charge
Vilanne: Feel free to enjoy yourself too Callista
Kansas Kenickie: yup

Jack Ryan: Aye sir it wont happen again.
Callista Tyrel: Commander, is the Chief Well?
Keb: ::looks up at Mason, very confrontational, isn't he?::
Kansas Kenickie: you call the top Engineer on duty and then he or she calls me and then I get confused by engineering bable and tell the Captain
Jack Ryan: Sir cheif Erich Isnt here.
Kansas Kenickie: then the next officer of the day
McFly: +Bauer+ Mason, this is Captain McFly of Manticore. We were ordered to investigate this sector about the destruction of a space station. Weren't given much more information than that.
Kansas Kenickie: if you call Captain McFly every time a light bulb goes out, then he can't do his job and we die
BrenFaliver: Like, die a lot. Die Bigly. ::Nods in support of KK's statement::
Kansas Kenickie: and if I die because of you I will kill you
Callista Tyrel: ::remains quiet and AA listening to the Commander ::
McFly: CaptMason> +Manti+ Not surprised. What happened here was travesty, Captain. Should never have happened. Don't know HOW it happened to be honest.
Callista Tyrel: :: nods to BrenFaliver ::
McFly: +Bauer+ Guess that's what we're here to figure out.
Kansas Kenickie: next time if there is a problem and your boss isn't here please call me, I promise not to get to mad
Kansas Kenickie: which is a step up in moods for me
Kansas Kenickie: Right Bren
Callista Tyrel: Yes. Sir. Commander Permission to speak Freely?
BrenFaliver: Right Commander
Kansas Kenickie: Go a head Tyrel
Callista Tyrel: We were running the Main pretty good for the past 48 hours and just now dropped to impulse, Is there something we should know sir?
Keb: ::nods as she listens to Mason:: What did happen, Captain Mason? It looks bad.
Kansas Kenickie: we dropped to impulse when we reach our destination
Callista Tyrel: Aye Commander. Well Engineering reports ready for the mission sir.
Kansas Kenickie: if there is an emergency you will know about it, yellow alerts, red alerts, Blue alerts
Kansas Kenickie: Black alerts
BrenFaliver: Plaid
Callista Tyrel: It would appear after my shift I have more reading to do about Manticore's unique alert system.
Jack Ryan: ::It would be nearing the end of jack's shift::
Callista Tyrel: ::blinks:: Plaid?
McFly: CaptMason> +Manti+ ::lowers head:: It was one of our own. But it wasn't the crew, the ship. They couldn't get control over it. ::looks up at the monitor:: We should have destroyed it when we had the chance. By the time it was back in the station we didn't have line of sight any more. I didn't want to kill the crew but, damn.
BrenFaliver: We're just teasing.... there's no such thing as a blue alert on this ship.
Kansas Kenickie: I know you are both excited and amped up to be on your first ship. but lets not get ahead of ourselves
Callista Tyrel: ::smiles:: Aye Commander.
Kansas Kenickie: ::Looks at Bren::: Blue is for landing on a planet
McFly: +Bauer+ It's alright captain. Why don't you take a few and joins us on the Manticore later. You can tell my senior staff in person what exactly went down.
McFly: CaptMason> +Manti+ Yeah, yeah, that sounds good.
BrenFaliver: ::Looks back at Kansas:: That's the joke\
McFly: +Bauer+ Good, in the meantime if you would send your sensor logs over, I could have my science and engineer teams start looking over them.
Kansas Kenickie: now if there isn't anything else, I should return to the Bridge before something happens
McFly: CaptMason> +Manti+ ::nods:: I'll have them do that immediately.
Keb: ::feeling a little sick to her stomach listening to just those bits::
McFly: +Bauer+ Alright, alert me when you're ready to come over. Manticore out.
Kansas Kenickie: Bren, shall we?
Jack Ryan: ::Jack would go to his would head to his quarters and take off his uniform and put on a traditonal klingon outfit,&Grab his bat'leth and head to holodeck 1::

Kansas Kenickie: ::Pulls knife out and stabs the wall, a few times::
Callista Tyrel: :: walks over to the MSD and resumes her engineering watch duties ::
Kansas Kenickie: yes
Jack Ryan: ::Ryan would be on chronos in the holodeck::
Kansas Kenickie: I miss being a nobody
Jack Ryan: ::A klingon man would approach ryan and punch him::
Kansas Kenickie: :::Tucks knife away::
BrenFaliver: ::contemplates humorously reassuring KK she is still a nobody, but doesn't want to be a pincushion::
Keb: ::McFly:: This sounds like it was way worse than it even looks.
Callista Tyrel: ( the Commander is a nobody ?? )
BrenFaliver: ((Nope. That's the joke.))
McFly: Yeah, I'm not liking the sound of any of this.
Callista Tyrel: ::looks around noting Jack Ryan has departed engineering... notes a few other engineers minding their own business and she returns to her AENG activities ::
Jack Ryan: ::Ryan would begin speaking in klingon-chaq jaj QaQ jajvam!::
Jack Ryan: Computer end program im not in t he mood for this.
Kansas Kenickie: Bren, was I to hard on them?
Keb: Captain, can I suggest that we let the ship's counseling department know they might be needed?
Jack Ryan: ::Ryan would head to his quarters Put his starfleet uniform back on and head back down to engineering speaking in his native tongue klingonese::
BrenFaliver: Not at all. The stern side of a normal person, in fact, I was pleasantly surprised by your restraint. The expectations of leadership? Or are you growing soft?
McFly: That's a good idea. Alert Vil about the situation and have her be available for them if necessary.
Kansas Kenickie: they are new, I held back
Jack Ryan: ::Ryan would arrive in e ngineering::
Kansas Kenickie: ::Sneers:: that sucked
Jack Ryan: ::He would say THis in klingon-im SuDal HeghDI' vaj maH legh Action ghotvam'e' unbeliveably qetlhchugh im Suq mogh!-::

McFly: Good, distribute it to Science and Engineering department.s
Jack Ryan: :Turns to callista:: No.....
Kansas Kenickie: ::Steps offf the lift and onto the Bridge::
McFly: What do you think happened here Keb?
Keb: Will do. ::gets busy on her console actually *gasp* talking to medical.
Jack Ryan: *Ryan would now be at his station:
Kansas Kenickie: Captain, engineering is hummming away as it should be
Jack Ryan: Alright callista im half klingon.
Keb: From what he said...it sounded like a ship destroyed a station on its own somehow.
Keb: Some kind of virus or something?
McFly: ((oh hey, it's Erich, nice department you're running there mate ::that's a joke, don't take offense:: ))
Callista Tyrel: :: Begins to receive Data from OPSGuy :: Well, we now have an idea about our mission.. :: points for Jack Ryan :: Omg...An entire Starbase has been destroyed.
Jack Ryan: ..
McFly: ((I smirked as I typed it, can't really show that in a chat room ))
Jack Ryan: Seems to be from a ship...
Jack Ryan: THats not possible...
Erich Jaenke: Hello
BrenFaliver: ((Howdy!))
Callista Tyrel: :: looks to Jack Ryan :: Will have to read up on this report after duty.
Keb: ::thinking back:: I mean, our ship was able to talk to those living ships, too...viruses or something crazier like that...someone weaponized the ship.
Callista Tyrel: ( hello Chief! )
Jack Ryan: ::Ryan would say something else in klingon-Doch neH Suq Daj.::
Kansas Kenickie: ::Takes the XO seat next to McFly... strange strange feeling:: Engineering is under control
Erich Jaenke: Oh no, I got the time wrong
McFly: OpsGuy> Captain, the Bauer is signaling they're ready to send Mason over.
BrenFaliver: What if Mason blew up the starbase?
McFly: Excellent. ::looks over at KK:: Thank you for doing that. Ready for our mission now? ::smiles::

Erich Jaenke: I was right here for most of the hour too
McFly: So TBS will be pretty immediate, maybe no more than 10 minutes at most. Mason will transport over and we'll all get to hear the harrowing tale of how the Sumadi went rogue.
Callista Tyrel: I had a question.
McFly: Callista
Callista Tyrel: Lower deck Crew like Ensigns and Cadets, we would not have the full picture of what is going on . I got the log, and knew what the sim was going to be about, but would a cadet or Ensign at the bowels of the ship know about the Starbase being destroyed?
Callista Tyrel: So I was not sure as to play as if I was compeletly in the dark.
McFly: You guys would probably be the last to know as the details of the mission trickled down to you. But I'm sure you'd know it eventually. Considering our sim and that you're not as low on the ship as a guest star, you'd probably know more than your average deck hand.
McFly: We'll just assume, once we all get briefed then you'll know what happened a bit later.
Callista Tyrel: Okay. Thanks!
McFly: And most likely you'll be used to sift through the data too. So there's that.
McFly: Any other questions?
McFly: Guess not.
Erich Jaenke: None really
McFly: Alright, Jack stay behind but everyone else...
McFly: DISMISSED!
Callista Tyrel: Bye

After a quick fill up and some new blood, Manticore is ordered
to sector 821 just within the Federations deep space territory.
= /\ = END USS MANTICORE BRIEFING #1015, STARDATE 519101.21 = /\ = -
Starbase 392, on the edge of deep space. A mother-station to short range science vessels and a couple of mid-range escort ships. To those who saw the station for the first time, it reminded them of the flying saucers so heavily reported from Earth’s past, a round dome floating in the middle of space. But as they got closer they realized it was more like the top portion of Earth Space Dock. Sometimes it would take them a minute to see it with the spire missing. But after it caught their eye that’s all they could see and thus it became affectionately referred to as “DSD” or “Deep Space Dock”.
Most ships sat parked for the night, reloading and offloading, refueling and standard maintenance. The station remained quiet with most personnel sleeping in the late night hours and not a blip to register on the sensors.
Earlier the USS Sumadi, a Nova class ship, had docked inside the station. A small collection of science ships would come and go on week long, sometimes month long missions, studying the archeology of once inhabited planets. The Sumadi had just returned from such a mission and was in need of the maintenance team’s complete package.
Only the bare minimum was activated on the Sumadi. Much like an office complex at night with the one light on, the maintenance team just needed to see what they were doing and the computer to respond. Everything else was unnecessary.
But without any provocation, the Sumadi began to power up systems all across the ship. The few maintenance personnel looked at each other in confusion as the warp core began to hum and vibrate. The empty bridge came to life as if expecting the senior staff to begin piling out of the turbo lift. Coms, navigation, engineering, tactical all came online and the maintenance team soon realized they had zero control over any of it. The station’s night crew noticed the commotion but they too had no effect on the ship.
Senior station personnel and the Suamdi’s senior staff were all woken out of a dead sleep. People raced down empty hallways towards station ops to see a seemingly ghost ship come alive all on its own. With the ship not responding from ops the Sumadi senior staff fled to the dock and onto the ship to take control within the ship itself.
Engineering would not respond to any of the chief’s command codes. The same results happened for the Captain on the bridge. Were they locked out? Not according to the ops officer. The ship simply wasn’t responding to any commands given by anyone.
Suddenly, the crew inside the Sumadi felt the ship shudder and jerk and could hear the hull strain. Alerts went off all over the bridge and on the station. It happened again, this time with much more force along with the loud sound of metal scraping. The station Commander yelled at the Captain over his com badge. Why was he trying to tear the ship out of the docking clamps? The Captain replied he did no such thing and explained their continued lack of control of the ship. The ship jerked again with increased force. The station maintenance team explained to Ops that unless they release the docking clamps either the ship or the station, or possibly both, would be heavily damaged. The Commander mulled it over just as the ship jerked again. This time the Sumadi’s hull ripped open as the ship slipped slightly out of the grip of the clamps. The Commander ordered the ship’s release and to guide it outside of the station with tractor beams.
The oscillating blue light filled the docking bay of the station as the Sumadi cascaded along a series of internal tractor beams. As it did the ship’s weapons systems came online. With just enough time for the crew to react to their uselessness the ship fired a phaser beam inside the station. Explosions erupted and the entire station shook. Now everyone inside the station was awake and running to their posts. The Sumadi fired again and knocked out the tractor beams, then again at the station’s bay doors.
The Sumadi slowly pushed its way into space where it was met by the station’s two escort ships. They first tried to talk the crew down only to learn they were never in control to begin with and that’s when the ship fired another shot, this time at one of the escort ships. The small science ship’s weapons had little effect on an escort with shields at max. But on the inside of a space station where little is protected from such things, monstrous damage had been done.
One of the escorts fired at the Sumadi and disabled its weapons. The crew inside frantically tried to retake control with complete futility. The chief engineer then made the suggestion to disconnect the main computer from the rest of the ship. Only problem was it was locked up tight and no one’s command codes were working. The chief and a small team began using a phaser cutter to cut through the door. They worked as quickly as possible before something else could happen.
The Sumadi began to spin around and it stopped at a 180 degree turn. The ship was now facing the station. With no weapons available the Captain wondered what could possibly be happening.
The engineering team cut through two of the internal locks on the door to the computer. The last one was the largest and was taking more time. The Captain encouraged the team to work quickly as something was going to happen, though they didn’t know what.
The Sumadi’s impulse engine then engaged and the ship moved towards the station. Its speed picked up quickly and the Captain suddenly realized what the ship was planning to do. He called for one of the escort ships to disable the Sumadi’s engines. The Sumadi was at half impulse and just past the station bay doors when one of the ships fired a direct shot at its impulse drive. The drive exploded shaking the entire ship but it stopped just inside the station.
The engineering team, having just cut through the last lock, was knocked to the floor. The chief got up first and pushed the door open. He now had physical access to the main computer. The problem now was how to disconnect it from the ship. He took one of the phaser cutters and started cutting conduit lines. One by one system’s began shutting down all over the ship. Consoles all across the bridge turned dark as emergency alerts went off in their place. Soon even the lights began to flicker.
The chief started cutting through the last conduit trunk and the ship made one final push. Its starboard thrusters went off and the ship pushed sideways towards the common viewing area, a section of the station where people could relax and look out at all the ships in the docking bay. A few people had gathered in there to see the chaos in the bay. Now they saw the Sumadi barreling towards them as if a bulldozer was pushing it from the other side.
The chief cut through the last conduit and the entire ship went dark and the thrusters cut out. But momentum carried it the rest of the way. The Sumadi crashed into the large windows of the station’s viewing area. A chain of explosions rippled across the station.
The two escort ships backed away as they saw the bursts of fire pop through the station’s hull.
Suddenly and magnificently Starbase 392 exploded.

We are a private group, we do what the Federation can't in open light. Remind yourself why you are here because at some point you will question it. And when that happens you need to suck it up and do your duty. We will all depend on you at some point in the future.

Callista Tyrel: :: a bit off balance :: Aye Commander.
Erich Jaenke: Very well. Let us walk back to main engineering.
Jack Ryan: ::Follows Chief Erich::
Callista Tyrel: :: nods to the Commander and Captain and turns to follow the Chief::
Kansas Kenickie: Orrak, Science is a little light right now. you are science right?
Gila Orrak: Yes sir.
Callista Tyrel: :: follows the Betazed Engineer...:: Sir may I ask you a question.
Keb: ::doors open to the bridge on the TL just as everyone emerges from the RR::
Gila Orrak: Is there work to be done at this moment Commander?
Jack Ryan: ::Whispers to Callista Kenickie is gonna kill us...Im Just Sayin..::
Erich Jaenke: :: walks towards the lift :: You may ask any question.
Kansas Kenickie: I will bring you to science, lets take a walk
Callista Tyrel: Uhm Engineers have hunches...uhm you as a Betazed, you would like us to voice concerns or ...do you ...pick up on ...concerns.
Keb: ::smiles as she sees Erich and steps back into the lift::
Jack Ryan: :Enters lift:
Callista Tyrel: ::follows::
Gila Orrak: Given the vessel's assignment.. as a garbage hauler, I am not sure much science is performed here.

Erich Jaenke: Main engineering
Kansas Kenickie: you will be more busy than ever
Keb: ::gives Jack and Callista a bright welcoming smile:: You must be the new crew members! Hi!
Jack Ryan: Ah Engineering Shes A Beauty!
Kansas Kenickie: ::opens the door:: lets take a tour
Jack Ryan: Yep
Jack Ryan: I Mean Aye Sir
Erich Jaenke: Two cores, twice the work
Callista Tyrel: Oh hello I am Ensign Callista Tyrel. ::extends hand to ...Keb ::
Kansas Kenickie: ::Points at McFly with the *you owe ME* finger::
Keb: I'm Keb. Keb Mizu. Helm. I started out in engineering though, and you won't find a more beautiful ship to work with.
McFly: ::walks back to his desk to take the message; uses his new data crystal to decrypt::
Erich Jaenke: This is Keb, Commander and helm
McFly: ::watches KK exit:: I mean it is your job now. ::smirks::
Keb: ::shakes Callista's hand, dimples glowing with delight::
Callista Tyrel: :: this place is huge..To Keb ::

Jack Ryan: With All Due Respect Chief I Think I Can Handle It i specialize in warp core Mechanics
Keb: You'll figure it out in a few weeks.
Keb: ::touches the trim of the lift affectionately::
Kansas Kenickie: sleep with one eye open
Jack Ryan: ::God I Cant Wait to Callista::
Erich Jaenke: I was in waste and recycling before I offed those ahead of me... so many officers, so few airlocks...
McFly: ::reads message; intrigued by it::
Callista Tyrel: ::turns attention to the Chief::
Jack Ryan: So Cheif Where Do You Need Me?
Keb: ::shakes her head at Erich, but doesn't say anything::
Kansas Kenickie: ::steps to the lift, holds the door open:: I am not on for Science
Gila Orrak: :: Walks with KK :: May I make an observation?
Kansas Kenickie: please do
Callista Tyrel: ::hands behind back listening to the Chief ::
Gila Orrak: If I am reading non-Cardi body language correctly you and the Captain are...involved.
Erich Jaenke: Two cores... not sure who's idea it was, someone that had two of everything I think.
Keb: ::pushes her dark curls back behind her shoulder, ready to listen to Erich too, though with amusement on her face::
Kansas Kenickie: involved as in, friendlier than we are with others?
Keb: Probably was A9's idea. Sometimes you need more than one.
McFly: ::gets up and walks out to the bridge::
Erich Jaenke: It allows us to seal up the secondary core to bring it out when the main one is lost...or we can use it's power for the long gun... some call it a planet killer.
Erich Jaenke: I do not.. I call it insurance.
Jack Ryan: ::Whispers to Callista I Think Something is going on with keb and cheif erich::
Callista Tyrel: I take it we will be given some PADDs to read to get up to Manticore's unique specs Chief?
Kansas Kenickie: We are, I let him think he is the Boss
Gila Orrak: :: Looks at her :: Correct, more adversarial, and coming from my people that means you do more than share a drink together.
Kansas Kenickie: you and me both know women keep things running the right way
Callista Tyrel: Enough Whispering.....:: kind of mutters to Ryan ::
McFly: ::sees Keb interacting with the new recruits; doesn't wait for a respectful opening:: Keb, we have our new mission, set course for sector 821
Gila Orrak: Just an observation, I do not intend to complicate matters.
Kansas Kenickie: ::Steps off the lift::
Jack Ryan: *Goes to station near primary warp core*
Gila Orrak: Oh I have my faults, as anyone does, but a Cardassian ship ran by the females runs...smoother.
Kansas Kenickie: the Captain and myself have been together for to many years. Things just turned out how they turned out
Erich Jaenke: About me.. I do have a rather...extended ability... so much so I take medication for it
Jack Ryan: Um Cheif
Jack Ryan: You Might Want to take a look at this
Callista Tyrel: You would encourage speaking our minds sir rather than...just thinking stuff?

Kansas Kenickie: I hope everyone looks over the Message boards. There is helpful posts
McFly: We pause the sim because we'll be continuing the story next week.
McFly: speaking of which, TBS (time between sims) will be 2 days as we reach sector 821. It's at the edge of deep space. Not near DS9
Erich Jaenke: So...deeper space?

Callista Tyrel: ?
McFly: Callista
Callista Tyrel: Will there be a brief to tell us what we are doing next sim?
McFly: The brief I send usually just gives us a recap of what happened the week prior. I actually plan to send out a prologue for this mission this week.
Callista Tyrel: Oh thanks. Also Should I email my bio..or is the message board sufficient?
Erich Jaenke: Often he'll give one-liners for what everyone did
McFly: Usually we don't know what's going to happen until it happens. And yeah go ahead and email it to our group.
McFly: Or send it to me and I'll email it.
McFly: Anymore questions/

The Manticore and her crew have received a thorough outfitting

McFly sat casually in the chair in front of the desk in the empty office as he waited for Consul General Elaine Jaffe to arrive. He’s only had a handful of interactions with her previously and was not a fan of her sternness. He tapped his finger on the arm rest while he waited.
Without warning, a holographic display of Jaffe beamed into the room. First filling the room with light then dulling as the image focused and she appeared as if physically sitting in the room. She fidgeted with multiple padds and never looked up to see McFly sitting in the chair in front of her.
McFly sat up straight as soon as he saw her appear. He wasn’t used to holographic communications and had to calm his heart down from the suddenness of her arrival. He also didn’t like the tightness of her hair bun since to him that indicated a larger than normal stick up ones rectum.
“Since when did we get holographic coms?” He asked.
“Space stations have used holo-coms for many years now.” She said very matter-of-factly.
“Oh. Why don’t we use them on star ships?”
“Enough of that.”
McFly looked away and took a deep breath.
“I trust Atragon 9 discussed procedures with you?” She asked again without looking up from her padds.
McFly began to slouch in his chair losing interest in formality. “Uh, yeah.”
“And the data crystal?”
“Yep, that’s where I get all my super-secret messages from.”
“Understand the crystal is just a decryption device. Messages will be delivered encrypted on standard top secret channels.”
“Oh, ok.”
“And I must reiterate, messages and orders you receive through such communique are for your eyes only. Any information you relay to your crew, including your first officer, are on a need to know basis and you are urged to use proper judgement on what is “need to know”.” He eyes glanced upwards towards McFly to help emphasize the point then back down to her pile of padds.
“Of course, well I guess that explains why we never know what the heck our missions are till we actually get there.” McFly chuckles quickly then turns it into a cough when he sees the CG’s lack of personality.
“And speaking of which, the fleet counsel will have a first officer assigned to your ship within the week.”
“I uh, I already have a first officer.”
Jaffe looks up from her stash of padds for the first time. “Excuse me?”
McFly furrows his brow in confusion. “Didn’t you get the paper work?”
“No. I didn’t.” She says sternly.
“Guess someone’s getting some lashings when you get back to the office.” He again laughs to himself then quickly hides it.
“Who is your first officer, Captain?”
McFly feels like a dog about to whimper as Jaffe stares him down.
“That would be Commander Kenickie, new pip and everything.”
Jaffe begins to look through one of her padds. “Are you two still in a relationship?”
“I mean as far as I know. Why did you hear something?” He chuckles to himself.
“Captain, who authorized you to promote your XO?”
He raised his eyebrow. “I did? I’m allowed to make promotions and assign senior staff.”
“You said Atragon briefed you on procedure and protocol. It doesn’t seem like it.”
“I never said protocol.”
Jaffe is not amused. “The Executive Officer position aboard a star ship is just as critical as its Commanding Officer. And is thus assigned and or approved through Command. This goes double for Special Ops where everything and everyone is tightly controlled due to the outside scrutiny put upon us.”
“I don’t understand the problem.”
“The problem is you failed to follow protocol, Captain. Special Ops is not Section 31 that does whatever it wants under everyone’s nose. We have rules that must be followed to maintain order within our organization.”
McFly straightens himself to a more formal position. “Now wait a minute, Kansas Kenickie is a fine officer who has proven her worth more times than is accounted for. Not only has she earned the position but she’s proved critical to the wellbeing of the ship.”
“That is not for you to decide. You are exactly the reason we have such procedures in place so the Captain can’t put his girlfriend in the seat next to him.”
“Atragon and Sovak both had their spouses in ranking positions next to them at one point.”
“Exactly my point. Look at the history of those relationships and their eventuality… And they are much more meritorious than you have proven yourself to be.”
“Fine, then why am I even here?”
“It’s because you have two officers who were able to convince the SO Fleet Command that you were worthy of an opportunity. Left up to me the Manticore would be decommissioned.”
“Damn, sucks for you don’t it?”
“Careful McFly, Command is honoring a request, not an order.”
“Alright let’s cut to the chase. I know I’m no one’s first choice for anything. I know Atragon and Sovak are largely the reason I’m even here. If you could find someone else to take on this ship they’d be here. Whether it’s due to lack of man-power or disinterest in this motley crew I don’t know. But here we are. So don’t assume I’m completely inept, or ignorant. You need us, we get results, despite our methods or meritorious or whatever big words you have. We’re probably one of the few able to get the job done. Which means despite your contempt for us, you can’t get rid of us. And what’s even better is it’s probably out of your control, which just pisses you off.”
McFly leaned back in his chair, his heart racing and holding back a smile.
Jaffe carefully laid the padd she had been hold on the desk. She straitened her tunic and folded her hands together on the desk.
“Thank god I don’t have to work with you Captain.” She said quietly and calmly. “As Consul General, my duties go above and beyond what you’ll ever experience. Our meeting today is a courtesy so I am able to know my Captains and how best to use their skills in the field. Your skills don’t give me a lot of promise. Your ship is only one out of an entire fleet. Your Admirals, which I hold in high regard, have been reassigned to best utilize their skills. I don’t need you. What I need are ships able to follow orders and maintain stability in the quadrant.”
Jaffe leaned in closer on her desk, “You’re not special. Not to me, not to the fleet.”
McFly takes a deep breath and straightens himself in his chair.
Jaffe returns to her upright position. “I already regret allowing Manticore to remain in service but out of loyalty to Atragon and Sovak I will let it continue… for now. Manticore will be under probation until it is deemed by Fleet Command that it is able to preserve the dignity befitting Special Ops and you are able to maintain the order and stability of a Starfleet Captain. Failure to do so will result you and your crew being spread out amongst a fleet of waste reclamation ships. Am I clear?”
Trying not to feel one inch tall McFly responds promptly, “Yes sir.”
“Very good. Dismissed.”
And with that, the hologram of Jaffe disappeared and McFly sat in an empty office.

I like Nemesis and am a little pissed they're acknowledging the destruction of Romulus as prime cannon. And mine's a Blu Ray not a DVD.

Erich Jaenke: That was fun
Callista Tyrel: Oh my. I think Ops guy needs a counselor.
Kansas Kenickie: and Keb needs a better weapon to win that game
BrenFaliver: He has one, his cousin SciGuy. Not all advice is pleasant
McFly: well if he didn't SUCK SO BAD, he wouldn't have to worry about his job!
Keb: Yeah, probably. But it's in the next level.
Keb: It hardly ever snows in Houston
Keb: and when it does, it melts as soon as day breaks
Keb: ...it was 72 degrees today.
Kansas Kenickie: back space backspace A B A B, cheat codes
McFly: Alright so TBS will be 1 day and it will give us time to get resettled and get our new mission.
McFly: So some good news, Callista is an actual human that will be joining the sim!
Kansas Kenickie: ::Clapps:: I didn't shot anyone!!
Kansas Kenickie: Yaaaa!! Welcome, I don't shoot people
McFly: She'll be joining Engineering so Erich doesn't have to be all alone down there.
BrenFaliver: Woo!
BrenFaliver: Does she know what she's getting into...?
Erich Jaenke: Callista.... you say
McFly: However, Keb might want to keep an eye on her, cause you know, close workmates and all.
McFly: just putting that out there
Kansas Kenickie: Super Fun Awesome Time Bren
Callista Tyrel: Lol Thank you. I will try to....write a small bio this week.
Erich Jaenke: Let me show you my engines...
Kansas Kenickie: we don't know anything about that kinda stuff McFly
Callista Tyrel: Just an ensign with a repair kit.
Keb: Yay welcome! Also ::possessively grabs Erich and smooches::
McFly: Also Gila is one of the new NPC's that will be joining. Just a reminder if anyone wants to make an NPC to help fill out the roster just let me know. Doesn't have to be this week or anything either. But if you've been wanted to try a different department this is a great way to do so
McFly: ::winks at KK::
McFly: ok then, any comments or questions?
BrenFaliver: AH, cool
BrenFaliver: I was VERY confused where Gila was coming from
McFly: she was coming from your dreams, bren
BrenFaliver: That makes a lot of sense
Callista Tyrel: You guys ship on this ship I see.
Kansas Kenickie: I will protect you
Gila Orrak: Should have said where I was
Erich Jaenke: We ship it out to the ship
Callista Tyrel: Thanks
McFly: Well if there's nothing else... I failed to find dismissing pictures on our break. I might do it later. Or i might be lazy and not do it at all.

((My first time running the sim. Be gentle.))Admiral Sovak and the now Commandant Atragon-9 have been

McFly: what up
McFly: I forgot to mention to meet at 8:30 before the sim.
Kansas Kenickie: Potatoes
Kansas Kenickie: I think we are on different times Zones LOL
McFly: right, you're in new york country, 9:30 for you then.
Kansas Kenickie: it is 9:56pm here
McFly: Think anyone will show up or have they already regretted their decision to continue? \
Kansas Kenickie: I meant to sign on earlier
Kansas Kenickie: here is the Ribbon
McFly: no worries, not much to go over anyway
Erich Jaenke: If there was an earlier time to meet I did not see it
Kansas Kenickie: nope
McFly: I burnt the top of my mouth with chili tonight. Now I can't stop licking it.
Kansas Kenickie: ice cream will help
McFly: Ooh, that would help. Just wish I had some
McFly: I have hot chocolate. Would that work?
Kansas Kenickie: Ice cream fixes everything
Vilanne: I heard ice cream and came running... hot chocolate too
McFly:
McFly: Nice, just need one more
Vilanne: and 3 minutes to spare! (Since I seem to have started a pattern this last year of being late)
McFly: I'll give Bren another minute before we start
McFly: So I just wanted to take a quick second before we begin. As it's painfully obvious we only have 6 people in our sim now. And I don't see anyone joining in the near future. With that in mind, I wanted to encourage the creation of more permanent NPC's. We're going to need at least two of them for senior staff not to mention the ship itself feeling a little empty. This could be a great way for everyone to branch out in other areas as well, especially during those plots that are focused towards one department. It also gives us a chance to play around if we're starting to get bored with our character perhaps because of said plot line not being in our chosen field. Of course no one is required to do any of this. If you're happy playing the way you are then leave it that way. This is just a suggestion to help make the ship feel more alive.
McFly: and... here we go.

Kansas Kenickie: 214? is this a vacation or a roll up to clean house
McFly: A little of both. We could use some R&R and need to stock up.
Keb: 214. Got it. On our way.
Keb: ((sorry, grading while simming))
Keb: ((last week of classes, finals start friday))

Kansas Kenickie: They have been silent, so I can only guess I am here

Kansas Kenickie: I will state you if that is a ring

McFly: (( He always sleeps with one eye open))
Keb: ::checks our flight pattern in between fantasizing::
Vilanne: ((Gonna prop one eye open too ))
Kansas Kenickie: I am not right for the job, I kill people.... like A LOT
Vilanne: ((Awww... I was hoping it would tame KK a bit))
Keb: ::notices something's not quite going right:: Um...Er--Chief Jaenke?
Erich Jaenke: I'm fine.. fine.. medication is wearing off and I'm feeling everyone on the ship.
Kansas Kenickie: ::opens the bottle of the real stuff, skips the ice:::
McFly: ::gets up:: I know, i know, you'll have to reign that in a little. Just a little. But I can't think of anyone better for the job ((no offense everyone )) Plus, I like knowing you'll be by my side for everything
Keb: No--that's not it, Erich. There's something wrong with how Manticore's flying.
Keb: I'm adjusting for it, but we're not flying true.
Kansas Kenickie: ::Whispers, knowing everything is heard by someone/something:: no really. I have killed innocent people, only because I was told too. I don't have a pause button
McFly: Look, I know this a huge change. It's changing for everyone. But I could really use you next to me.
Erich Jaenke: Let me look. :: taps ::
Keb: We keep tracking to the starboard side, no matter how I recallibrate things.
Kansas Kenickie: Karl> Looking in someone's window Keb?
Vilanne: ::waves hand in front of Karl's face:: Maybe we need some Welbrutin prescribed ... Karl how long has it truly been since you've had a physical? ::taps her PADD:: Wow... I"ll say that's a LOT of years. I will schedule one for you tomorrow (or next sim date) at 2200.
Keb: It's not much but it adds up over the parsecs.
Kansas Kenickie: Karl> So you can kill me?
Keb: ::looks back at Karl:: Shut up, Karl. ::rather likes the CC sometimes, even if she didn't bother moving into it::
Vilanne: ::nods:: Something like that... it's an order. ::sweet eVil smile:: See you then. Now, quit reading my mail!
Erich Jaenke: Adding additional power to port
Kansas Kenickie: ::Looks in the box::
McFly: We both have been on this ship for a very long time and we've both killed a ton of people. Enough that should keep us awake at night. But here I am, Captain of a starship. You're Chief security. Very high positions that neither of us would otherwise hold if we weren't in Special Ops. ::raises eyebrow hoping the SpecOps card can convince her::
McFly: I don't know what I have to do to convince you.
McFly: I'd hate to have to ask OpsGuy.
Keb: ::shakes head:: I think it's something off in the sensor array, or maybe even at the nav level.
Kansas Kenickie: ::Snaps the box closed:: everyone will think I slept my way to that seat
Keb: I can compensate for it, but it's a lot of nudging back into place.
Kansas Kenickie: then I will have to smack them or worse
Vilanne: ((Order her McFLy... just stand on the other side of the conference room table))
McFly: I mean... you kind of did. But purposefully of course ::he says quickly::
Erich Jaenke: Sensors could be feeling false readings to navigation.
Vilanne: ::notates calendar for sickbay, for Karl's appt, and CC's Nurse Nancy::
Kansas Kenickie: I did... didn't I ::Smirks::
McFly: ((you're trying to get me killed aren't you VIl?))
Vilanne: ((No but just looking for a few patients... oh, whoops! I mean, is it that obvious))
McFly: ::smiles back::
Keb: Yeah, that's probably the first thing we should test...darnit, that's going to take a while, too. It's slowing us down already.
Kansas Kenickie: I will take the seat until Fleet sends you a replacement, how is that?
Keb: I wonder if interfacing with the other ships affected Manti somehow...
McFly: ::smirks:: Sure. I'll have them get on that as soon as possible.
Kansas Kenickie: who knew you would be CO one day... I mean Accidents don't happen accidentally.. right?
Erich Jaenke: I need to consider an independent sensor system.
Vilanne: ((Smooth Mf. LOL... nice-n-smooth)
Kansas Kenickie: ((he is a smooth operator))
McFly: I know, right? Desperate times and all

Vilanne: ((::McFly breaks out in a "Smooth Criminal" dance across the RR to impress KK::))
McFly: (( ::does the moonwalk:: ))

Keb: ::looking through the nav systems in between making corrections back to port::

Keb: I dunno...it was kind of neat to see how a ship might think if it were alive. Sometimes when you're sitting in the engine room, with all the life of the ship throbbing around you, doesn't it feel like that anyway?
McFly: ::walks over to KK; takes the pip out and snaps it to her uniform collar:: That's going to be nothing compared to servicing that Captain every night

Vilanne: Yeah, where do you want Rinax?
Kansas Kenickie: maybe put feelers out, any nerds that want to job in

Kansas Kenickie: Keb can do both, helm is easy
Keb: I think HelmDude and Opsguy would miss each other
McFly: Whatever NPC you come up with just let me know species, position and if they're an odd species how they are in starfleet.
Kansas Kenickie: she has all that extra bow tie on her hands
Kansas Kenickie: *time
Vilanne: Ok... Hmm... every dept is 1 person right? So we need some people in those depts
McFly: So Security and Ops are important since they're senior staff but if you want to NPC for anything else please do.
Kansas Kenickie: I can float karl to Tac or Spock it and do both because I am awesome
Vilanne: LOL KK
McFly: Spock did do both
Vilanne: Maybe I could put Rinax in Sci as an assist to Bren...
McFly: And yeah, Karl is available for Security or Tac if no one wants it, and I have 3 security NPC's I can use too
McFly: I'm sure he would like the company
Kansas Kenickie: Karl doesn't likeanyone
McFly: Any other NPC questions?
Vilanne: Or the XO could be restrained to doing BOTH jobs! *evil laugh*

Kansas Kenickie: or dooms everyone
Kansas Kenickie: hold back Vilanne!? Never
McFly: if you think of a question feel free to email me.
Vilanne: ?
McFly: Vil
Vilanne: Just confused at KK's statement, maybe she didn't get my crackup.
Vilanne: Maybe SF downsized us intentionally, to save money.
Kansas Kenickie: which one
Vilanne: or budget
Vilanne: Yeah, I know KK... you don't like understanding me. Ok... sorry Matt, go ahead. *blushes*
Kansas Kenickie: I didn't see thst
McFly: I wouldn't be surprised by that, our budget gets lower every year
McFly: Alright so TBS is 2 hours, I think that's good. We'll be arriving at 214 next sim. Maybe it takes us so long because of the engine lag. Good thing we're going to a starbase, eh?
McFly: Any questions?
Kansas Kenickie: it has been well over 10 years since I have O'd anything.. so PM me if I miss anything or email
Vilanne: Yep yep
Vilanne: Wow really KK? I thought you had one in that sim where your char slapped me silly
Kansas Kenickie: nope
Vilanne: Or was that a punch.
Kansas Kenickie: KK is my only butt kicker
Kansas Kenickie: the rest were all engineers
Vilanne: lol... gosh who was it then? Now I gotta know!

Three men, each on a gurney, were wheeled into a small room. Quickly all three were connected to IV’s and two were stripped of their uniforms. The third man’s exoskeleton suit proved to be difficult to remove.
Three more men followed into the room and each carried large metal cases that they placed onto tables. On the side of each case read “IMF Certified”. When opened up they revealed a blank face, like a mannequin head. The men removed a scanner from each case and went to the three on the gurneys.
One of the men grabbed his scanner and walked to the gurney on the far side of the small room. His body looked more youthful than his face, worn and tired. He looked like he’d been through hell and back many years ago. His hair was dark, almost black and his eyes were a soulless dark brown. He looked down at the younger man lying on the gurney and studied him for a moment. He looked at the pips on the side of his collar, “Commander,” he thought to himself.
The man had a fire in his eyes as he looked down at the young Commander. He had never seen this man before but glared at him as if he just finished the last brownie the man’s dead grandmother ever made for him. He looked down and was surprised to see his own hand around the young Commander’s neck. He couldn’t remember bringing it up there. It was an instinct and he didn’t fight it. Slowly he let his hand squeeze his neck. He began to feel the Commander’s pulse on his fingertips.
Suddenly he then heard the voice of one of the other men he walked in with and instantly pulled out of his trance. “Hey Xavier,” the man said. “You sure you don’t want to take the Admiral?”
“I’ve already told you yes”, he responded. “I need the mobility the Commander provides. People might get suspicious seeing the Admiral everywhere and not on the bridge.”
The third man looked up at him, “Tell me again why I have to be the Vulcan?”
“Because you’re his size,” Xavier responded annoyed. “That and your ears are kind of pointy anyway.”
The third man sneered and went back to scanning the Vulcan with his device.
One of the officials attending to the three men up righted himself after spending an extended period bent over. He arched his back snapping the air out of his vertebrae. Sweat dripped from his forehead and he let out an exhausted breath. “This exo-suit is being one hell of a bitch to get off,” he said.
Xavier looked up again from the Commander. “He got it on there you should be able to get it off.”
“You’d think that but it’s on there tight.”
“Can’t you just cut it off him?” asked the man scanning the Admiral.
“No you idiot,” Xavier responded. “You’re going to have to wear it yourself when you take his place.”
He walked over to the two men and the Admiral on the table. He examined the suit, lifting an arm, turning the head and with the help of the other two men rolled the Admiral on his side to look on the back.
“Maybe if we pulled right here…” he said then drifted off.
Xavier and the two men each grabbed a piece of the suit and stated pulling and yanking. Xavier yanked on a piece next to the neck. He used the Admirals head for leverage and cricked it to one side as he pushed with one hand and pulled the suit with the other.
The attendant grabbed an area of the leg that looked like it could detach and began pulling. He propped up his foot on the table for leverage and pulled with enough force to start sliding the Admirals body down the table. Xavier compensated by pulling him back up his direction. They each tugged at opposite ends.
The man who had been scanning the Admiral pulled on a piece on his arm. He pulled, yanked and flung the arm around without so much as loosening the exo-suit from the arm. Suddenly he heard a pop as he flung the arm back. He stopped and held the arm delicately. He slowly moved the arm up and down and around checking the shoulder. Then he moved the forearm back and forth checking the elbow. The man shrugged then went back to flinging the arm around.
The door opened and another man walked in. He was in his late 50’s, balding with short white hair wrapped around the back and sides of his head. He had a stern, assured look on his face. He saw the three men pulling on the Admirals exo-suit contorting him in the process. He quickly moved over to them and pulled each one off the defenseless man.
“What do you think you’re doing?” he barked.
“Trying to get his exo-suit off,” Xavier responded. “I think it’s glued on there or something.”
“You’re not going to get it off him by pulling his limbs off!”
He reached behind the Admirals neck and pressed a small button. The suit clicked and suddenly pieces that had clung to the Admiral like claws were now loose and open.
The man looked at the official who had been attending to the Admiral from the beginning. “Get it off him.”
The attendant nodded sheepishly and began removing the suit. He coward and remained quiet as if he was just yelled at by his father.
The man then looked up at Xavier. “What’s wrong with you?” he said. “I told you I didn’t want anyone harmed.”
“look at him he’s fine,” Xavier said and gestured to the sleeping man on the table.
“He may not be when he wakes up.”
Xavier walked back to the Commander and finished his scanning. “You know it would have been a lot easier to just chop him up and pull the pieces out of the suit.” He smiled and laughed as he spoke.
The man looked at Xavier. He took a deep breath and slightly shook his head. “I truly wonder if meeting you was a big mistake.”
“It’s no mistake Ben. You want people dead and I want to see people die.” Xavier looked up from the Commander. “That’s why we make such a great team.” He flashed a bright cheery smile.
The man scanning the Vulcan finished and was over at the metal case with the blank faced head. He tapped some buttons on the LCARS display inside and pressed start when he was ready. A laser beam began carving definition into the blank face starting from the top. The beam swung from one side to the other expertly printing out an exact replica of the Vulcan’s face.
The man began working with another device that displayed a waveform on the small screen in front of him. The computer analyzed it and small sound clips could be heard that sounded exactly like Admiral Sovak. The computer gave a confirmation and the man grabbed a small thin metallic strip with a tiny dimly lit light from it. He placed onto his throat just above his Adam’s apple. He then uttered a few phrases and quickly his voice changed from his own to sounding like Sovak’s.
The man scanning the Admiral began the same process. The blank head soon formed into an exact replica of Atragon’s face and he too placed a small metallic strip on his throat that soon made him sound like the Admiral.
Xavier finished scanning the Commander and began having the computer carve into the blank head the face of Commander McFly.
“Seriously though,” Xavier said without looking up from his work, “We should have just killed them all.”
“I told you I don’t want anyone on that ship killed,” the man said.
Xavier turned to look back at him. “This entire ruse is doing nothing but wasting time and resources.”
“We are only after those that are guilty. These people haven’t done anything-“
“No Ben!” Xavier said interrupting, “Everyone’s guilty! It’s pointless to save a single ship full of people so you can lie to yourself that you’re not committing genocide.”
The man folded his arms with one hand up at his chin. He shifted where he stood and didn’t respond to Xavier.
Xavier placed the metal strip on his throat and turned around to the man. “Just remember, we’ve already started. It’s too late to turn back now.” As he spoke his voiced quickly changed from his own to that of McFly’s.
The three men fitted their respective masks with the help of the attendants then put on the StarFleet uniforms and the exo-suit for the one man posing as Atragon. As they stood in the room, all three men looked like exact replicas of the three men on the gurneys.
They each grabbed a rifle and started for the door. Before they could exit the older man looked at each of them. Hand still on his chin, his eyes conveyed the same assuredness they did when he first walked into the room.
“No one from that ship is to die,” he said slowly and definitively. His eyes shifted toward their rifles. The three men nodded and switched them to stun then walked out the door.
They walked down the hall and Xavier, now looking like McFly, switched his rifle back to kill. They looked over at him. “But he said not to kill them,” one of them said.
Xavier smirked, “We’re going to be attacking the guards not the hostages, right?”
The two men acknowledged.
“Well he said not to kill anyone from that ship. He didn’t say anything about killing people from this ship.”
They smiled back at him, wide eyed, as if their parents just told them they could eat both pizza and ice cream on the same pancake for both breakfast and dinner.

Manticore was ordered to sector 821 just within the
Federations deep space territory. Upon arrival they found a
starbase destroyed by a ship gone rogue. Suddenly Manticore
seemingly went "rogue" herself severely damaging the USS
Bauer in the process. Soon the engineering team was able to
regain control of the ship. After returning to the battered
Bauer, sensors detected another warp trail leaving the sector.
Then, after recovering the starbase black box, it was
discovered a cloaked ship had been in the vacinity before its
destruction. It was later determined to be a Klingon cloaking
device. Manticore is currently towing the heavily damaged Bauer
to another starbase while Engineering and Science teams work
together to understand how the Manticore computer was compromised.
