= USS MANTICORE BRIEFING #1253, STARDATE 52401.15 = starfleet

= The new Manticore-B was set to receive her new PK module after a lengthy shakedown cruise but module was intercepted on its way to Starbase -REDACTED-. Manticore has been sent in to investigate. They were able to track the thiefs to junkyard where they came across a decent sized space station or outpost. McFly and Pilot go to investigate and inside they find the module. Meanwhile, Kansas has been reassigned to Presidential security and during a diplomatic conference on the moon she thwarted an assassination attempt. However, no one knows who he was or how he snuck inside. Faldek and Gila are now a year into an undercover assignment on Cardassia. The purpose of which the crew has not been notified of. They've met up with Edvenent to search for -REDACTED-. However, Cardassian command has seen fit for them to be sent to new assignments disrupting their undercover mission. Faldek is on a new Dominion shipyard. Gila is at an outpost turned medical facility. And Edvenent is in Cardassia's main military intelligence complex where he just learned about a "project nebula". = starfleet

Ops? How are things looking?

:: visits the Pool Table checking Manticore's power levels ::

ACTION> THE SHIPS FLY AROUND THE STATION AND MEET MANTICORE

::scans the two ships:: Uh oh

:: Looks up at the view screen :: Communications are jammed, Commander Faliver (edited)

Uh oh, Anni---? (edited)

9:18 PM

Oh.

::looking around for a console of some sort::

Shields up!

((Bren don't blow up the new ship! ))

::finds a back door into the office, but scans with his tricorder to make sure the office is empty, which it is, and enters::

Lt. Cmdr EJ Pilot

((Bren don't blow up the new ship! ))

((Pilot respect my creative process))

(lol)

( maybe they are friendly ? )

Why would you have all this space and no console?!

((We can greet them with a hug and see what happens))

((Jamming comms isn't how I greet my friends))

:: Sneaks into an empty office and snoops around ::

((LOL))

I wonder what they want?

::Stops a Yeoman from entering the Prez room, pats her down and scans her for lifesigns::

I'd love to hail them, but...

:: Looks at Sanchez :: Most likely, they want us dead.. (edited)

I don't think I've ever come across this kind of ship before.

Bren Faliver

"Hello Tyrel."

:: Shakes his head at Snachez :: Right...

::Looks at Ryan:: keep an eye on the door I need a moment

:: Walking around the facility, examining reluctant Jem'Hadar ::

Though I am by no means a ship expert.

Hello Chief, all systems are normal....I'm not certain what is going on the bridge at the moment. Some of the COMMs are begining to act up Ive noticed.

::starts snooping around the shipyard commanders office, looking through drawers, etc::

I am still a Security Officer even though I am at the Helm.

::Steps into the head, Turns message on::

Are they just sitting there?

:: Shrugs ::

So far, yes?

Could it be cloaked?

Ryan ( earth) > :: wonders if the attractive Yeoman gave Kansas a message ::

No weapons lock, no unfriendly fire? Just jamming our comms?

:: Looks at his console, reading his scans ::

::Turns PADD on and scans the message::

ACTION> KANSAS MESSAGE IS A SET OF THREE PICTURES; TWO MEN IN STARFLEET UNIFORMS MEETING WITH SOMETHING THAT LOOKS LIKE A VORTA; THE SAME NEBULA EDVENET FOUND IN PROJECT NEBULA; AND A LARGE SHIP OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN THAT LOOKS LIKE THIS...

9:24 PM

::comes across a PADD, turns it on and begins reading::

Computer, show computer station...?

Annika, any idea who these ships are? What species they are? Maybe we can blink a light at them in their version of morse code

:::Curses::

"Yes, the comm array probably needs reset."

::raises eyebrow noticing some comm interference on his monitor, decides to prepare sickbay for incoming...just in case::

+McFly+ Did you find anything yet?

::finds a "Project Nebula" folder in the PADD:: Pay dirt... ::turns it off and sneaks back out the way he came in, heading back to his quarters::

::comms are jammed and McFly doesn't get his message::

:: Continues his own scans, to see what he can see ::

:: Pulls up the terminal in the office and sifts through files ::

::Realizes who sent the message, curses again::

::starts running diagnostics on biobeds to make sure they are ready::

ACTION> THE TWO SHIPS OUT FROM MANTICORE ARE THE SAME DEISGN THAT ATTACKED THE TOW SHIP EARLIER; AN AMALGAMATION OF ALIEN SHIP DESIGNS THAT THEY'VE COBBLED TOGETHER

9:29 PM

((Sorry, should have clarified that. The Dominion looking ship was strictly for Kansas' message))

(Cool cool)

::Nods to Ryan::

::squints:: Those ships look like a hodgepodge of everything.

+Pilot+ I haven't found anything yet. You?

::stops and when he sees the guys at the entrance:: , , .

:: Raises an eyebrow :: Sir, Cmdr. Sorenson is correct, those ships are a mix of different ship designs melded together...

Ryan (earth) > Everything okay?

::comms didn't go through::

::gets back to his quarters and begins going over the PADD and Project Nebula and stumbles across a station access code:: Oh my, I'm gonna get him fired for this...

::pulls his phaser rifle and begins firing at the group::

::taps his badge again:: +Pilot+?

:: Does not find much and clears the terminal, shutting it down, and sneaking to another office ::

::looks at the second phaser fire:: Great!

::braces herself::

ACTION> THE AMORED MEN BACK AWAY INTO THE HALLWAY AND FIND COVER

::watches them back into the hallway::

::McFly runs up and see Pilot:: You didn't answer my call!

it's from this guy Chip ::Sighs:: I trust him as a source. look at who is in that photo

Comms are down.

9:35 PM

We need to catch them...

Evasive maneuvers, and fire back, target their weapons

:: Grabs the Ops console ::

::scrambles to get to The Chair::

Maybe I can use this access code... Oh yes... ::memorizes the code and heads back out, taking the sneaky route he planned out earlier::

Aye! ::evasive maneuvers engaged::

Ryan ( Earth) > :: looks at the image again.....:: Federation personnel with a member of the Dominion....hmm...

I don't know, I think we need to get back to the ship, there's only two of us here.

::scans the enemy ships::

And I guess we have no comms.

9:37 PM

ACTION> THE TWO SHIPS CONTINUE TO TAKE SHOTS ON MANTICORE

And so the shuttle can't hear us. So we will have to fight there.

"I don't want more repairs."

Ryan ( Earth) > :: hands PADD to Kansas :: Assessment?

::continues to execute evasive maneuvers::

::Hits a button on the chair's arm to formally go to red alert::

:: Scans the ships as they fire on the Manticore ::

Keep shooting!

::starts his sneaky sneaking, making his way to a previously unapproached access door::

::goes into his bag and grabs a stun grenade:: Let's go then.

it's a solid tip, we need to know if those are people or changlings... and who they are

:: looks through the desk, then looks through files on the terminal ::

::braces on biobed, nods as the red alert sounds::

::runs down the hall towards the airlock with Pilot::

::Looks at the PADD:: those ships are big

::fires behind him and drops the stun grenade behind them::

I know it's a tall order, but try to keep one of the two ships between us and the other...

Ryan ( Earth)> Ma'am, that is outside our job description.. I think it is best you pass that information on to someone who can do something about it...so we can continue to do our job here.

::runs into airlock::

ACTION> A BIG ONE COMES UP FROM THE OTHER SIDE AND GRABS PILOT JUST AS HE ENTERS THE AIRLOCK

::pops out of the access tunnel into an empty corridor::

Kahless!

::McFly jumps onto the big guy's back trying to choke him::

::punches and elbows into the guy who grabbed him::

some on Earth... who I trust

::stops and listens, hearing footsteps, moves slowly and silently into a shadowy area and waits::

((I need an adult!

))

These disruptor signatures... they seem familiar...

Lt. Cmdr EJ Pilot

((I need an adult!

))

who doesn't!?

Ryan ( Earth) > Maybe your old Fleet buddies.

::spots a crewmember entering sickbay carrying one of their injured colleagues; goes to assist the injured crewmember onto the biobed::

ACTION> THE BIG GUY LETS GO OF PILOT; HE THEN DONKEY KICKS PILOT THRUSTING PILOT INTO THE SHUTTLE; THE BIG GUY USES THAT MOMENTUM TO FLIP OVER McFLY WITH McFLY STILL HOLDING ON TO THE GUYS NECK; WITH HIS NEW LEVERAGE THE BIG GUY IS ABLE TO GRAB A HOLD OF McFLY NOW AND SLAM HIM ONTO THE FLOOR

::flys into the shuttle:: Damnit! That hurt!

9:44 PM

::pulls out his mek'leth and runs towards him::

ACTION> THE BIG GUY STEPS UP TO THE AIRLOCK CONTROLS; HE PUNCHES A RED BUTTON THAT IMMEDIATELY SHUTS THE AIRLOCK AND THEN EJECTS THE SHUTTLE CAPTAPULTING IT INTO OPEN SPACE

:: feels the shields take more hits :: She's so new...I hate to see this.

::stops at the door::

::the footsteps disappear down the opposite hallway, he emerges and silently starts walking to the unguarded access door::

::slams his hand against the door:: Computer! Engage engines and plot a course back to Manticore maximum thrust!

::looks over biobed readouts for injured crewmember::

ACTION> THE TWO SHIPS ATTACKING MANTICORE DISENGAGE AND TURN AROUND; THEIR WARP ENGINES ENGAGE AND THEY DISAPPEAR INTO SPACE; THE "SPACE STATION" THEN POWERS UP ITS ENGINES AND WARPS OUT RIGHT BEHIND THEM

:::Leans against the wall next to Ryan, mind racing::

What the {convenient engine noise}

:: Looks up from Ops :: This does not bode well...

Hmm, what was that all about?

Do we have comms back? Ring the Captain

ACTION> COMMS ARE BACK ONLINE

+McFly+ Captain, do you read?

Ryan ( Earth) > :: looks to Kansas :: At least pass that on to SFI... It would make me feel better.

:: Goes to another office :

I don't know them... I haven't cleared them (edited)

ACTION> PILOT'S SHUTTLE ARRIVES BACK AT MANTICORE

::applies hypospray for patient's pain and then begins running dermal regenerator over wounds::

Ryan (Earth) > Or pass it though that special ops group you worked with on that ship. They will know what to do with it. Just promise me you won't sit on it.

+Bridge+ Priority emergency!

:: Looks up from Ops :: Commander, the shuttle has returned to the ship

::runs out of the shuttle and heads to the TL:: Bridge.

:: None of them were talkative at all, unless you speak of victory, loyalty, or the Founders ::

Lower shields, drop the red alert, and get the shuttle onboard. Please.

:: Digs through the desk, finding some Padds and going through them ::

I will pass it to the right people. I just need to know that they can be trusted

::enters the access code and the door whooshes open, enters the area and begins making his way through a series of corridors and small storage bays, looking around for manifests or anything, coming up empty handed::

+Pilot+ Pilot, what's going on?

::walks onto bridge:: Commander Faliver, the Captain was captured.

::notes the end of the red alert, continues tending to his patient::

Chief, I am going to start delegating repair teams throughout the ship...so far it tdoes not look to bad.

By who? Why?

We were engaged by unknown security personnel on the station. We didn't see anything upon arriving.

Oh no..

Frak. Annika, try and trace those warp signatures.

What warp signatures?

:: Raised an eyebrow ::

::to himself:: It's odd, there's literally nobody around... ::still looking::

::nods and scans the warp trails:: The trails are distinct, so hopefully we'll be able to trail them.

The station and the ships that just left, taking the Captain? Do we need to get you to sickbay?

::Checks the time:: only this nice about this detail is that you can sent your clock by this guy to do the same thing everyday (edited)

The station had warp capability?!

::nods::

::Thrusts his hand at the main viewscreen:: That or a hell of a good cloak, Commander!

It was literally no consoles there! What in the hell!

Ryan (earth)> It is a routine based job, unless the President eats too many greens...

he does get whiffy

Ryan (Earth)> :: gestures as if something smells very briefly ::

:: Looks at his readings :: It did warp out, Commanders... :: Talking to Bren and E.J. ::

::looks at Bren, annoyed::

::Deadpan:: Maybe the consoles were cloaked.

9:55 PM

Did they say anything?

::finds a PADD, picks it up and starts looking through it, just seeing supply listings and innocuous things::

Do they realize they have the Captain?

They said nothing. We found the PK Module on that "station" and then we went looking for a console.

::finishes running dermal regenerator of burns on injured crewmember, checks biobed readout again::

::Nods to the Yeomen as she leave the Prez office::

I didn't want him to go in the first place.

:: Finds something of interest, muttering to himself as he tucks the padd into his jacket :: ( m ) Training program....Jem'Hadar... :: He leaves the office and heads back to sort more intel files ::

::puts the PADD back and continues exploring, finally seeing what may be the light at the end of the proverbial tunnel, begins heading to a large bay door, the biggest one he's seen yet::

Ryan ( Earth) > :: sizes up the Yeoman as part of his job....though she is very attractive...::

Any leads yet, Annika?

::enters through the big ass door and what he sees makes his eyes go large and wide:: Oh my...

Ops... I hate to say this but... try to get Admiral Jaffee on the line

ACTION> INSIDE THE HANGER FALDEK TRESPASSED ON HE SEES...

9:59 PM

1

Partial lead. I have their depature trajectory, but it gets cold after that.

::nods as he notices crewmember's condition is stabilized as they are recovering from their burns::

( that is one enormous hangar)

((I mean you gotta build a secret ship somewhere))

Any systems along that vector that are inhabited?

::stands there slightly dumbfounded:: It's yuge...

being land lock does stink some days ::Looks up::

::moves to the observation lounge, enters::

::works with the cetaceans to plot their course:: The course does go through some inhabited systems, yes.

ACTION> ON THE MAIN VIEWSCREEN ADMIRAL ELAINE JAFFEE APPEARS

::updates the medical file of injured crewmember::

Commander Faliver?

( must jet folks gnight )

((Night))

Admiral Jaffee, I appreciate your taking our hail. We have a bit of a situation, some unknown faction has taken Captain McFly and left for destinations unknown. We're working on trying to identify options for their destination, but your guidance would be much appreicated.

::Pieces together the partial warp trail::

::sees a console and approaches, punches in the access code::

ACTION> IN THE INTEL COMPLEX EDVENENT IS IN, SOME NIGHT SECURITY GUARDS BEGIN TO SENSE SOMETHING MIGHT BE WRONG; THEY START INVESTIGATING THE AREA AND ARE SEARCHING JUST OUTSIDE THE OFFICE EDVENENT IS IN

::deep breaths:: (edited)

10:04 PM

::moves out of the obs lounge and back onto the bridge, standing next to Bren::

::uses his PADD to download all the information available on this Jem'Hadar Dreadnought::

:::Looks at her PADD again:::

::composes herself:: I see... Commander, your first priority to retrieve the stolen module by any means. I can't emphasize how devastating it would be for it to fall into enemy hands. The Captain... is secondary. Continue after your leads. Keep me informed of your progress and call me if you need anything. Good luck, Commander.

Well... both are true

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

Between 1/14/2024 9:06 PM and 1/14/2024 10:08 PM

MISSION BRIEF: Investigating missing mining shipments, Excalibur discovered the massacre of wild catting miners. Unsure of their next move, they were surprised when an advanced Romulan interceptor craft decloaked with the former commander of the Excalibur -- who more or less invited himself over -- aboard.

Corizon> So takes another drink of whiskey what's next then?

9:09 PM

Rex> Glances up from his tactical console Well there hasn't been any phaser or disruptor fire in the ready room, yet.

"I'm not sure who I'd put hypothetical money on."

Irene> "Is there... security in there, or anything?"

Rex> Shrugs

Cdr Jalen Stanton> You're here for a reason. I assume that you already have an idea of what needs to happen. ::Eyeing Corizon:: You've infiltrated the operation, but don't wish to take it to your government?

"Isn't Commander Stanton's background Security?"

(( ::karate chops all the Romulans:: ))

Irene> "I mean actual security, the ones who wore the red shirts 50 years ago."

"What, just so they can die suddenly?"

Vaener> Frowns, even more deeply than he had been the whole time. It is... complicated

9:14 PM

Corizon> What Civet means is they asked for our help because about half the Galae are no longer trusted by the other half, because the Procounsul has spent the last year putting his people in key positions, and given that he's a Tal'Shiar slimeball. Drinks more whiskey

Cdr Jalen Stanton> More complicated than Starfleet getting involved in an off-the-books operation that could get our crew killed?

Irene> "It's better than the captain or Commander Stanton dying suddenly."

"Fair." (edited)

Rex> I thought Klingons liked free promotions.

9:17 PM

Matching Vaener's frown, Asher sighed deeply. I am nto particularly interested in getting involved in some sort of clandestine not-entirely-sanctioned mission. We were looking into missing mining equipment, not a intergalactic smuggling ring.

"We'd all be promoted just so long until they could get a new command team in here."

Irene> shrug "Commander Stanton being disintegrated is probably a good thing for career advancement on a Bird of Prey, it's a bad thing on something beginning with USS."

:: Watching from the back of the bridge ::

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Glances at the Captain.::

Corizon> His ears went flat in annoyance and he went to make another drink. So you don't care what things the Tal'Shiar might be getting into with a grip full of Merkocite.

9:18 PM

(( snickers I would like each of you to give me a number 1-20 ))

(( 8 ))

(( 16 ))

Cdr Jalen Stanton> I wouldn't say that. ::Inclines his head.::

(( 19 for asher ))

(( 18 ))

We don't even know it was the Tal'Shiar.

Cdr Jalen Stanton> But if it is tied to the missing mining equipment... ::Trails off, still looking at Swain.::

Corizon> Turns on heel, his ears pinned back Oh, you have other theories?

9:20 PM

(( cackles ))

(( fear ))

(2)

ACTION> Alarms all over the bridge sound as two Romulan warbirds decloak firing shots at both the Excalibur which strike the unshielded ship in various important places and destroy the intercetpro.

Star Trek shake "Raise shields!" starts getting damage control teams around the ship, assuming he can

Rex> Is thrown from the tactical console

9:25 PM

Corizon> Practices hand at this and manages somehow not to spill his drink, but just barely. What the hell.

Val> "Two warbirds just decloaked, they're targeting, and firing!" She's secure, while Irene grabs her own console with a death grip.

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Staggers and catches himself on the wall, gritting his teeth. Rushes out onto the bridge.:: Report!

Follows onto the bridge, with Vaener and Corizon in tow

"Two warbirds decloaked, fired, and destroyed the other ship! Trying to raise shields!" William's fingers are flying over his console.

Rex> Pulling himself back up to the tactical console, bleeding a little from the forheads

Irene> "They appeared and opened fire before we had a chance to do anything, sir!" She looks hopping mad at their new Romulan friends, both on-board and on the viewer.

Rex> Two Norexan class warbirds.

9:28 PM

Vaenaer> Walks over to sceen Those aren't Galae vessels.

"Oh, licensed out your designs to the Klingons again have you?"

Vaener> They're Tal'Shiar.

Cdr Jalen Stanton> What's our damage? :: To Will::

Rex> Frowns They're swining around for another pass.

9:29 PM

Takes the center seat Bring us about. Hail them.

9:30 PM

Clark> No response to our hails.

Val> Calm as can be. She has a lot of combat experience, after all. "Aye, sir. Evasive maneuvers...?"

"A whole lot in places we don't want it Commander. I have teams working, but we're hurting."

ACTION> The two wabirds fire salvos at the Excalibur and the array. The array takes direct hits, while the shots graze the Excalibur.

Irene> Going over the sensor readings. "Sir, they're focusing fire on the station, not on us. That thing's not gonna last much longer."

Rex> Permision to return fire?

9:33 PM

Frowns Get us the hell out of here. We're no match for both of those ships.

"Injuries all over the ship."

ACTION> The station explodes in a brilliant fireball as the two warbirds come about for another pass on us. Focusing their fire on engines and shields.

9:34 PM

( dice role please, 1-20 will )

(( 13 ))

9:35 PM

(( Don't screw me Purdy. ))

(15)

ACTION> The warbirds volleys pummel out our ventral sheilds, but main systems remain on line.

"Shields down!"

Corizon> Grips the railings and looks at Swain

Val> "Executing escape course!" Over the incoming blasts. "Gonna keep the dorsal side facing them if I can, might get a little hairy..."

ACTION> There is just enough of an opening for Val to get the Excalibur in a postion to jump to warp and, at least for the moment safety.

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Gripping the armrest of his chair tightly as he scrolls through report after report of damage and casualties.::

Will rounds on the quad of people that came from the Ready Room. "What, and I cannot emphasize this enough, the hell was that?!"

That's an awfully bold move by the Tal'Shiar to attack a Federation starship in Federation space. Asher's voice was just on the verge of a shout

9:39 PM

Vaenaer> I am as surprised as you are, Captain. He looked genuinely distressed

Val> Slides the ship through the station debris and gets them in a safe position to escape. "Going to warp! OK, we've got some distance between us and them."

Rex> They're not pursuing us, as far as I can tell but they could be cloaked.

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Glances at the Romulan, frowning.:: Apparently, they know what you've been up to and don't like it.

Set a course for the nearest Starbase.

"I'm going to have to get dirty on this Captain. I'll be down in Engineering."

"Does anyone here need medical attention?"

Corizon> Knocks back his drink. They certainly don't want us working together.

Val> "Aye." And the ship is headed for a starbase.

"What keen deductive skills you have." William says as he heads for the turbolift.

Irene> "I'm sorry, Captain. There was no warning."

Corizon> Are you sure they aren't pursuing us. He walked over to the tactical console. Those are high speed interceptors. They can out run you.

9:43 PM

I'll take my chances. If they want to pursue a Federation ship into Federation space, they

"Try to keep them from destroying more of my ship then." turbolift doors close and William heads down to Engineering. "Reynolds! Tell me you're still alive!"

re biting off more than they can chew.

Irene> "They'd be lit up like a supernova cloaked and going as fast as we are, wouldn't they?"

Vaenaer> The Tal'Shiar has access to the most... advanced of our cloaking technologies, I am afraid. But I agree with Captain Swain, it would be unwise even for the Tal'Shiar to risk a war with the Federation.

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Motions to Indaura and then to Rex.:: Our Security Chief is bleeding, Doctor.

Irene> "Doesn't take a tactician to tell we weren't their target."

Ens Reynolds> ::Heads pops up out of one of the sparking consoles, covered in soot and hair singed.:: Sir! Who attacked us?

:: Nods, goes to the chief ::

Rex> Frowns I am fine, but thanks.

"Romulans. Tal'Shiar apparently."

Corizon> Looking at the tactical console No sign of pursuit yet.

"Security can be the worst patients, second only to doctors."

9:47 PM

:: Gets out her medicorder ::

William grabs his own engineering gear. "It looked bad up on the bridge. How bad is it down here? You're nearly on fire."

Ens Reynolds> Well, that explains the lack of warning. ::Wipes his forehead, smudging his face even more.:: We're in bad shape. I've overloads on nearly all decks. Our deflector array is badly damaged and offline. Shields are drained.

William swears loudly and forcefully. "Alright, let's get to it." William picks a project and gets to work.

Commander see if we can find the Sub-Commander and the Captain some quarters. Mister Clark, get me a secure channel to Command in my RR. Straightens his uniform Good work everyone, that could have been a lot worse.

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Glances to Swain and nods.::

Corizon> Lifts an ear at being not so ceremoniously told to leave the bridge With respect Captain, I think you'll want me on the call Commands. But your choice.

9:53 PM

Sighs Fine, but find him some quarters anyway.

9:53 PM

Clark> Long-range communications are down, Captain. The sub-space array took a direct hit in the original salvo. Engineering is working on it.

9:54 PM

Mutters lowly and heads to his RR anyway Get me through as soon as you can.

9:54 PM

Rex> Forces a smile as Indaura patches up his cut

Irene> "They were hitting our comms and engines, they were going for the kill with the station and the interceptor."

"I implore you to not injure yourself in this location as I don't wish to revisit."

"How can so many things be broken at once?"

Rex> Well, I'll try not to make it a habit.

9:58 PM

Vaenaer> Walks over to Irene and the science console Were you able to get any detailed scans of the vessels.

Irene> "...sir?" Looking at the big chair to see if she should answer that.

Ens Reynolds> I know! But it's been this bad before. Just one thing at a time. ::Grunts as he tightens another node with his spanner. The console lights up and he stands to check it.::

Corizon> Joins Swain in the RR

"Good job Reynolds."

We will pick up next week arriving at the nearest starbase. A small outpost in orbit of a balmy M-class planet.

10:06 PM

TBS a day or so, with no pursuit (that we know of)

Irene didn't even shoot any Romulans!

Somehow there's a serial killer either on the planet or the station.

10:06 PM

I'm not sure where just yet.

Mmmm cereal...

wow discounting the idea that we could be at war with the romulan empire by the time we arrive

That's just Tuesday here.

Mmm war

anyway see you next week!

Between 1/12/2024 9:04 PM and 1/12/2024 10:06 PM

So, we left off with the forcefield close to failing and releasing otherworldly'ness upon us.

Who ya gonna call?

Mimi has suggested we may have missed something in the cave systems below the colony. This is where the rock samples came from that the lights used to trigger this "event".

hm

9:06 PM

sounds like an idea

ooh

I'm giving it about 15 minutes of shield strength left. So, a solution to that is imperative.

::looks over the data::

::still working in med bay::

(Where would I have been?)

(Probably working on reinforcing the shield)

9:14 PM

There is a higher level of crystalline formations in this one section of the cave. Unsure if that's significant.

I'm going to cross reference that against any other similar formations. ::starts scan::

:: Working with others of his team to reenforce the shield emitters ::

9:16 PM

"It is just a matter of time...grr."

9:19 PM

+Captain+ "I estimate only maybe 15 minutes before the integrity of the shields makes it fail entirely." (edited)

+Nijil+ Were you able to link up with the portal device and use it in any way? It's just about at the heart of the effect.

::does a detail scan of the crystalline formations::

::has the computer running simulations/predictions of what will happen if the shield fails as things are at the moment::

+Captain+ "Yes, but if there's a surge, and it's likely, the shield would go down."

ACTION: Scans show a faint resonating signal within the crystals in the cave, which matches the energy signal coming from the event.

9:25 PM

+Nijil+ That's even more likely if we don't do anything.

::has sent word for all colonists to be inside for the next hour unless given the all clear earlier::

Well, that's not good...

9:26 PM

Captain, there's a faint resonating signal from the crystals in the cave, it matches the energy signal from that. ::points to the light::

::looks the data over:: That was not detected before. Probably reacting to this.

Probably

We could be looking at a chain reaction possibility. Which, just made this even worse of a situation.

+Captain+ "I could add it only if our current level drops below a threshold."

:: Materializes ::

9:30 PM

"Dr. Sandero."

Hello?

+Nijil+ We're about to run out of time and this may have more of an effect that a couple acres of real estate. I'd rather avoid a global "re-zoning".

Hey, what brings you here?

::tries to analyze the resonating signal to see if we can communicate with it::

+Captain+ "Adding the power of the portal to the shield matrix...now."

"The holo emitters."

Ah... true. How'd things go with the portal?

"I think if the base has an emergency I'm supposed to be on the ready."

Oh dear, hope everything's ok

"The failsafes would not let me, at least until they are reprogrammed."

::updated scans to AT::

+Captain+ "The levels are holding, but I only think I bought you more time."

9:36 PM

:: Sees the updated scan ::

Hope they would be soon, I suppose.

+Nijil+ I'll take what I can get.

Well, the med bay is fully prepped for anything that comes our way.

"May I ask you something, after this question?"

Sure

+Captain+ colonists are staying inside for the next hour. Just in case.

::Mimi:: Finding any patterns?

"Niji, err, Nijil said he is having something brought here from far away. A kind of gift, but he won't tell me what it is. I suppose you don't know."

It's hard to tell, although I am running it against known resonating signals and the such.

No, sorry. I wouldn't know. Or, maybe he told me and I forgot. Haven't seen ol' Nijil in awhile,

"Old, he does not seem that old, but then I know him as a Yith for longer." :: She went to check in on a kit ::

:: Meanwhile, Nijil started feeling a static field around him and the team :: "Oh I don't like this."

ACTION: There's a crackle and then a flash of lighting from the effected area outward. A blue glow is slowly forming.

::sees scans:: not good...

9:48 PM

::continuing to route info to the AT::

Well, I don't know how old he is for a Romulan... but, yeah... it must be something interesting.

::is not liking this, analyzes if the resonating signals are part of the blue glow::

"He and I had to spend a lot of time together. Helped him feel as comfortable as he could in Prani's body." :: Looks at Dacia :: "I was proud of how he did, as was Prani's mother." :: sits, stiil working with the kit :: "Though as a hologram I am beginning to understand how he felt."

"No one rub their clothing together, or touch each ot-" :: Another engineer placed his hand on Nijil's shoulder, sending an electrical through them both :: "Ahh!, da--"

::nods:: Understandable. It must've been hard on him, though he seemed to doing a good job managing both his own and Prani. I remember that.

"Our material fabrication technology is slower than yours, so the repair components took months."

Ugh, can't imagine how difficult that was. It's hard enough connecting with others telepathically and empathically.

::to self:: Think Mimi think.

"Oh, I must be a blank slate to you, a bit dark feline who's mind is not really here."

ACTION: The crackling increases and the edge of the field begins to slowly creep outward, growing in size.

I mean.. yeah but you get used to it. I also get that from other species like Ferengi.

:: Is startled as the sudden increase in size, steps up and back ::

9:58 PM

+Captain+ "My team is having to move back."

+AT+ That field is growing. Can it be dissipated at all?

hi

evening

Yay, we're all here....

9:02 PM

Last time on USS Arcadia -- the away team on the rogue planet found their way to the end of the long crystal tunnel and entered a very large dark cavern with lots of structure

9:02 PM

Any sim-related qs before we start?

also there were bodies

9:03 PM

no reason for us to face a space monster with just the four of us

light> :: there are obviously artificial structures. they're all dark ::

9:06 PM

ACTION> comm badge clicky clickies

Seems like we're out of communication?

indeed.

Well, we could either turn back and see if we could get in contact with the Arc on the surface or we could keep going.

the safest thing would be to turn around get in contatc

9:09 PM

let's head out and i'll stay in the rear in case it turns out we have company

Sounds like a plan.

ACTION> the cavern roof is starting to glow faintly red

was the roof red before now?

I don't believe so.

"Some kind of electro-magnetic energy is in the area, maybe even thermal...wait, static?"

this is not good

(( it's a giant cavern))

9:15 PM

(( the entrance to the tunnel is in one place ))

((and all red on top?))

(( roof is lighting almost uniformly ))

((weird))

9:16 PM

((duck and cover i guess?))

this is weird

9:16 PM

maybe this is how they heat things?

Huh, sounds like some sort of life signs?

9:18 PM

I guess the roof is mimicing a sun?

roof> :: slowly getting more yellow than red ::

9:20 PM

"Anyone else hearing that?"

yes

9:20 PM

There seem to be humanoid and non-humanoid lifesigns in the area.

9:23 PM

No tech, though, aside from the lock and the roof.

ACTION> :: more small animals fly above, chirping ::

they have a pretty advanced setup down here, though, in terms of climate control

ACTION> the yellowish roof is starting to become bluer... the air is being heated radiantly from above

Interesting that a rogue planet would have underground habitations full of life.

we're probably not going to be mining it for dilithium if there are inhabitants

9:26 PM

let's keep going. if there are people, a full security team may alarm them

True

::continues walking into the cave::

::following::

9:27 PM

Jasad, anything unusual about the life down here?

::looking around at the birds and whatever else is there::

"I think they enjoy the energy in this area."

ACTION> there are some small rat-sized forms running around on the ground

feel free to take samples; life on a rogue planet is pretty unusual

ACTION> it's getting lighter out

:: Stoops down and scans the rats ::

We might be encountering humanoids soon.

rats> :: are not actually rats, theyre some kind of carniverous animals ::

9:32 PM

rats> :: they scurry when the AT gets nearby ::

Do they have claws consistent with the scratch marks on the bones outside?

are they venomous?

rats> :: have much smaller two-part claws ::

((too bad, that would have been a convenient and not scary explanation))

Odd they'd have large carnivores in a controlled environment...

(( you need the scary one ))

9:35 PM

More small animals> :: coming out to run around, eat and be eaten ::

maybe it is less controlled than it looks from here

"We should leave."

That might not be a terrible idea.

they may not be the top of the food chain here.

The area of effect should not reach the populated area of the colony but I'm not sure of any secondary reactions.

9:26 PM

We need some options.

::to the Captain:: As far as I can tell on the readings of the light-sphere, I am picking up bio-energy.

How complex of a pattern?

9:29 PM

Are we talking about self aware intelligence or something simpler?

I want to say very complex, but on an evolutionary chain it's hard to tell where they are at. They could be at the same state we are.

9:31 PM

MInd you I've had many first contact meetings, but this maybe a bit out my wheel house.

If so then they either are unable to communicate with us or did not wish to before triggering this.

::nods::

Knowing there might be a purpose behind this could be useful.

9:33 PM

But, we need to quickly figure how benign that purpose might be.

I've gone through all the data I have as well as what Lt. Cmdr. Jylliene just sent, I feel that the cavern may hold something that we haven't seen yet especially on a cross dimensional level.

9:37 PM

Slight dissipation in the energy. Shield failure could be 15 to 30 minutes away.

is it as cold in the tunnel as outside or is it finally warmer?

There are traces of some kind of... energy weapon? used nearby... I can't quite make sense of this. Something they build in their grandpa's docking bay?

::turns:: Deceased?

:: Nods :: Yes, sir.

Security> You tried to gain access to this area earlier, according to our reports. Why are you trying to gain access again?

James Ryan ( Moon )> You Miss Fleet Ma`am?

+Sven+ Let's see if we can try more of this puzzle together.

Estimating the original energy levels, they are all distinctly harmonics of high energy frequencies used... in phaser banks. That's some very high frequency indeed... and phaser fire doesn't linger like this....

::Adjusts pitch and heads back to Earth::

Oh this is the same area?

yes, I miss the action

Security> We have orders to escort you to the station commander for repeated attempts to gain access. Please follow me.

I guess we need those bodies?

::to Inga:: Come on stinky, let's shake a fin. ::gets to work analyzing the wreckages::

Ah, ok. ::follows the security officer::

:: Seems there are quality issues on this side of the wormhole::

I miss the chase

Beam the bodies to sickbay. Have Tevek give them a once over.

9:37 PM

::looks over at Bren:: So you're thinking these ships were chopped together? That's an interesting idea.

James Ryan (Moon)> Enlisting in Presidential Security probably saved my life...:: pauses ::

Hmm.

:: Nods, locking onto the bodies and beaming them to sickbay, informing Tevek as well ::

The weapon, at least. Or its something specially built by a government, blackops, ambitious Ferengi, etc etc.

That would explain the unknown weapons signature... ::to Bren & McFly::

I was told this was a golden pass... a job everyone security officer wants'

James Ryan ( Moon)> The Jem' Hadar have taken a lot of Marines lives...I had no Idea when I enlisted before the war, it was going to be this bad.

9:39 PM

James Ryan ( Moon)> I don't view it as a golden pass. Just another means to fullfill duty.

Shipyard CO> Why do you try to keep gaining access into restricted areas?

I trained to hard to be an escourt

James Ryan (Moon)> Sometimes I wonder if I should go back... But that would throw away...years of training I have had....as you just mentioned.

Its a blend of Qonos grown beans.. I've heard they remind humans of chocolate.

9:43 PM

Klingon coffee pretty much.

Thank you ::walks to the replicator:: One raktajino, please. ::Hears a little beep:: Oh, uh... iced I suppose

It's not like I'm trying to gain access specifically, I am on an active investigation involving one of your junior officers.

James Ryan (Moon)> I will give you one thing. The food is definitely better. :: grins briefly ::

field rations aren't so bad (edited)

Coffee might not be a bad idea. I take it we'll be at this for a while.

::looks at McFly:: I'll get a carafe. We can share.

::Takes a tiny sip in case it's potent, so he doesn't cough and spit everywhere. A small sip. A medium sip. Then Bren starts drinking it in gulps:: Huh, this... I thought it would be a lot more bitter

James Ryan (Moon)> :: looks at Earth Closing in ::

It's Klingon, isn't it? Are they actually allowed to enjoy their coffee??

::looks at McFly:: You want coffee or Klingon Coffee?

:::Lands the shuttle:::

Not like, sharing with two straws or anything right?

::performing a detailed scan of the wreckage, and the trailing warp signature she detected earlier, isolating the Federation signatures from the non-Federation ones::

Shipyard CO> Ah yes, I reported the problem with Glinn Gork yesterday. You guys work quick. However he does not work in that area. You have access to all the areas you need to see, the next time I'll be reporting you.

::hears Bren and looks:: Can't kill, if you can't keep your eyes open.

Let's see if we can't find a correlation with the non-Fed warp signatures, ::cross checks with known species' ship signatures::

= The Manticore-B has just finished her shakedown cruise and is sitting at Starbase -REDACTED- preparing to receive its new PK module when word came around that an assassination attempt on the Federation President happened on the moon. Everyone was dispatched to the scene except Manticore as she continues to wait for her module. Meanwhile, Kansas, on her new assignment as head of Presidential security, escorted the Federation President to a diplomatic summit on the lunar colony. While giving his speech she noticed a sniper in the rafters and saved the President from an untimely demise. She then chased after the attacker but ended up killing him instead of retrieving any information. Faldek and Gila are now a year into an undercover assignment on Cardassia. The purpose of which the crew has not been notified of. They've met up with Edvenent to search for -REDACTED-. However, Cardassian command has seen fit for them to be sent to new assignments and disrupting their undercover mission. = starfleet

Yes. The assassination attempt on the President has everyone running overtime here. Unfortunately we didn't notice it. All comms to their last known location have been met with silence. And unfortunately, all ships in the area have been diverted to Earth, except yours.

Understood. Do you think this is realated?

The Manticore-B has just finished her shakedown cruise and is
sitting at Starbase -REDACTED- preparing to receive its new PK
module when word came around that an assassination attempt on
the Federation President happened on the moon. Everyone was
dispatched to the scene except Manticore as she continues to
wait for her module.

Meanwhile, Kansas, on her new assignment as head of Presidential
security, escorted the Federation President to a diplomatic
summit on the lunar colony. While giving his speech she noticed
a sniper in the rafters and saved the President from an untimely
demise. She then chased after the attacker but ended up killing
him instead of retrieving any information.

Faldek and Gila are now a year into an undercover assignment on
Cardassia. The purpose of which the crew has not been notified of.
They've met up with Edvenent to search for -REDACTED-. However,
Cardassian command has seen fit for them to be sent to new
assignments and disrupting their undercover mission.

Honestly, you should give the musical episode a chance. I'm not really a musical fan either but damn if they didn't do a great job with it. :D

And I agree, they made Picard way too dark in more ways than one.

December 25, 2023

Four ships flew at high warp. Three of them maintained a triangle formation. The two on the bottom were Saber class escort ships, the one at the top, an Akira class tactical ship. In the middle was a small towing vessel. Its shape was little more than a cockpit and two warp nacelles. Behind it was the dorsal fin module of a Nebula class starship encased in skeletal cage structure attached to the rear of the towing vessel.

The ship’s Commander sat in her chair at the center of the small bridge, a room barely larger than that of a runabout. In front of her was the pilot, to her left along the wall of the bridge was her ops officer and to the Commander’s right along the opposite wall sat an engineer keeping a watch on the precious cargo.

“Eta five hours, Commander,” said the pilot broadcasting to the small crew.

“Aye, Lt.,” the Commander replied, “I know we have a while yet to go but let’s try not to get too comfortable.” She said with a smirk as she began to sip her coffee.

The engineer leaned back in her chair. “I don’t understand why everyone was so uptight about this thing. It’s not like we haven’t transported a tail fin before. They made it sound like this was some kind of top secret weapon.”

“No idea,” chimed in the ops officer, “all I know is I’m tired of people acting like I don’t know how to do my job. I’ve been doing this eight years, I think I got it figured out by now.”

As he spoke, an alert went off on his console.

“Commander, there’s a ship pulling up along our aft in the warp stream. It’s unidentifiable, no transponder signals and scans aren’t showing anything familiar about it.”

“Check in with our escorts,” said the Commander. She immediately turned her attention to the pilot. “Lt., maintain heading and speed.”

“Aye.”

“Escorts are aware and are establishing contact.” The ops officer taps a button that pipes in the comm audio to the loud speaker.

“Unknown vessel, please identify yourself,” said the lead escort Captain over the comm.

Everyone on the bridge looked at each other, waiting for something to happen.

After no response, the escort Captain tried again. “Unknown vessel, this is a Federation convoy. Please move along or you will be in violation of harassing a cargo container.”

Again, no response. The cargo crew can hear the Captain becoming frustrated over the open comm. “Unknown vessel, if you do not break off immediately, we will be forced to open fire.”

The cargo Commander looked over to her engineer. “Divert excess power to aft shields.”

“Unknown vessel, this is your final warning. Break off your pursuit immediately or we will open fire.” Over the open comm, the Captain can be heard speaking with his bridge officers. “Load torpedoes and target their engines.”

Just then, the strange ship opened up a set of bay doors near the front of the ship and lowered out what looked like a deflector dish off a Federation ship. It begins to glow.

The cargo ship began to shake and the Pilot spoke up frantically, “Commander! Our warp field is collapsing!”

“Compensate, Lt.!”

“Nothing’s working! We’re dropping out of warp!”

The cargo vessel and the three escort ships all dropped out of warp with the strange ship still behind them. But in front of them were three more ships of similar design.

“They’re blocking comms,” said the ops officer. “We can’t even send out a distress signal.”

“Divert all power to shields. Let the escorts do their job.”

The three escort ships broke formation to begin an attack run. But one at a time, the escort ships were overwhelmed by a combined attack of all three of the strange vessels until all three escorts were destroyed.

Their attention then turned to the cargo vessel. With no weapons, they had no way to defend themselves. But amazingly, the ships weren’t attacking. The fourth ship, the one that had found them in the beginning, continued to sit menacingly behind the cargo ship. Then another door opened up and a small shuttle flew out. It rammed into the cargo ship’s shields but couldn’t break through. It just pushed forward causing a disruption.

The ops officer tried to get a handle on what they were doing. “I don’t understand what they’re doing. They don’t have enough power to break through with a shuttle. Why don’t they just fire at us?”

“Please don’t give them any ideas,” said the pilot feeling helpless at the moment.

“Wait a minute,” said the ops officer. “They’re scanning someth—They’re scanning our shield frequency!”

“Lt.! Rotate shield frequency!” the Commander yelled out to the engineer.

The engineer found herself in a battle of speed between rotating the frequency and the shuttle scanning the right one at the right time. For a moment it looked as if the engineer was out witting them but suddenly the two sides stumbled on the same frequency at the same time and the shuttle slipped through the cargo ships shields.

The Commander grabbed her nearby side arm. “Everyone, ready phasers!”

Inside, they could see the shuttle fly around the front of the bridge. Suddenly something hit the roof of the ship with a loud thud. They looked around at each other as nothing happened.

Then suddenly! An electrical charge enveloped the entire ship. Inside they could see electricity arcing over every console and then… darkness. The entire ship shut down. They looked around waiting for someone or something to push its way through, but nothing.

Through the windows they could see the three ships moving in. Then they could hear the sound of metal clanking. Inside, the ship began to shutter and they could hear the bulkheads staining. Then, the ship violently shakes with the sound of something breaking apart.

The ship began to drift out with the crew still inside and no ability to stop whatever was happening from happening.

The ship twists and turns as it continued to drift in open space. It turned just enough for them to see out the side window, first debris and then, as the edges of the dorsal module came into view, multiple bright flashes with nothing left but floating bits of metal.

Between 12/20/2023 9:03 PM and 12/20/2023 10:06 PM

Last time... the away team had Arcadia drill a hole, but it hit the top of a crystal cylinder that continues deeper under the planet's surface

9:04 PM

Now, you can look into the crater you made and see crystals...

9:04 PM

What are ya going to do about it?

That's a fair question.

Any questions before we start?

None here

9:04 PM

I assume no tbs?

none here either

No TBS

We are off planet now?

Still on

9:07 PM

You made a hole. You're looking into the hole

Technically, the Arc made the hole.

oops hit enter (edited)

9:08 PM

9:09 PM

we all made the hole together

True enough

It is our together hole... how touching

::peering down into the crystal:: +Arc+ Arcadia, we seem to have uncovered a massive crystalline structure of some kind.

::scanning the crystal::

9:12 PM

We might need to do some demolition ourselves with explosives

Would that do anything? It survived a phaser blast from the Arc.

@ +Dana+ Is that the source of the dilithium signature?

+Arc+ It does appear to have dilithium content, so quite possibly.

:: Scanning as best she can ::

it would if we still had protomatter

@ +Dana+ We have limited scanning ability around it, but we can now map it by where the interference is.

((I don't even know if that's the same universe as this one))

((yes))

+arc+ how much information do we need before we plant a federation flag on the planet?

@ +Dana+ It looks like it goes at an angle down under the surface even farther, then makes an abrupt turn and continues down. It has some of the structural elements of a pressure vessel.

9:16 PM

@ +Dana+ Is the dilithium here minable? Worth anything to us?

A pressure vessel? That's...strange.

9:17 PM

+Arc+ We'll have to experiment...obviously, the Arc's phaser didn't phase it, so it may or may not be extractable by other means.

@ +Dana+ It looks like there might be something resembling a ring around it, possibly some rock serving as structural support about 5m beyond the hole.

9:17 PM

@+Dana+ There's another similar component about 50m in the other direction

9:17 PM

@+Dana+ It almost looks designed.

:: Still scanning :: "This does not seem like a natural structure, but I don't have any supporting evidence."

+Arc+ Which then makes you wonder whether this was abandoned or whether there's another reason it's here.

+arc+ we can go check it out

+Arc+ Are the supporting rings underground as well?

@+Dana+ Yes, they're all underground. There's a break in the interference at a rockface approximately 100m northwest of your current location

9:21 PM

@+Dana+ It's possibly closer to the surface there as well. It might be worth checking out

+Arc+ We'll check it out.

9:22 PM

Shall we, then?

yes. ::looks around to make sure the area is still empty and leads them northwest::

::follows, scanning as we go::

Surface ice> :: not pointing any weapons at Arizhel ::

((alas))

9:26 PM

::keeps walking, 100m is not very far so they should be there soon::

9:26 PM

see anything useful on the scanner?

Nothing dreadfully interesting.

9:27 PM

Mostly consistent with the massive crystal under us.

Rockface> :: pops up above the surface ice, looking a bit like a (much) smaller Gibraltar shape ::

9:28 PM

Rockface> :: is jagged except on one side, where it is smooth ::

Is that what we're headed for?

9:28 PM

We should probably check out that smooth side...that looks a bit less natural than the others.

agreed.

9:29 PM

::inspects the smooth side::

:: Follows the others ::

Smooth side> :: has a cylindrical shaped indentation (or, at least the top half of the cylinder, the rest is under the ice) (edited)

i wonder if something is supposed to go in that indentation

::scans indentation::

9:31 PM

I wonder if it has anything to do with the crystal.

should we thaw the ice and see if there's anything informative underneath?

Go ahead. ::stands back::

::sets phaser to stun and fires on the ice::

ice> :: stunned ::

((at least i get to shoot something today))

(j/k))

9:34 PM

ice> :: melts, I guess ::

9:35 PM

ice> :: actually sublimates ::

::checks to see if there's any inscription under the ice or something else more interesting::

rockface> :: the indentation continues to make a full circle, ~2m in diameter. ~1/4 of the way up the circle is a deeper indentation in the rock that looks a bit like a handle ::

maybe this was a door?

I suppose we could try it?

stay back

9:38 PM

::grabs the handle-like thing, and attempts to turn it gently::

door> :: makes a releasing air-type sound and some vaporous air is seen coming out as the handle pushes the "door" up and around, making a half-cylindrical opening ::

::is glad they are all in suits:: (edited)

9:40 PM

::scans the air::

::scans escaping air to see whether it's the breathable sort::

air> :: might have been breathable if it didn't immediately escape and sublimate, and it weren't at such low pressure ::

::waits to see whether the amount of escaping air will decrease::

air> :: slows to a trickle ::

9:43 PM

inside> :: there's another nearly identical door about 20m ahead in what looks like a crystal-walled tunnel ::

let's head in, and close this door before opening the other so we don't break the airlock

Seems like an airlock.

9:44 PM

Indeed. After you?

::heads in::

ACTION> as the first door closes, a hissing sound can be heard from the other door

Yup, definitely an airlock.

::opens the second door after the first closes completely::

From a civilization that obviously doesn't care about locking their doors.

: Watches the door close behind her ::

send door> :: still hissing... too hard to open ::

Give it a second to pressurize.

::waits::

9:50 PM

this is why we have teleporters like civilized people

air> :: gets to 0.9 atm, then the door finally gives way ::

::looks inside::

inside > :: one long tunnel that goes down ::

((At an angle we can safely navigate, or like, a bottomless pit?))

::looks to see if there are rungs or anything::

(( safely navigate ))

this should be fine. i'll go first in case it gets steeper

9:56 PM

::starts heading down the tunnel::

::follows::

::drags cbco of natell::

tunnel> :: goes down -- is not well-lit but the crystal is refracting light from somewhere, making it look like about the illumination of a paintball ring ::

Listen, you'll be fine, My office handles all the cases of misconduct and treachery, so if you do come under suspicion, I'll handle the investigation personally and clear you.

::Salutes back:: your help was life saving

Security Personnel ( Moon ) > :: arrive and keep the peace securing the area ::

::has an assumption as to why we can't go::

This is serious, Captain. The Federation President's life is in danger. We're scrambling the fleet back to Earth in case this is part of a greater attack. The ship module for Manticore is almost arrived. I prefer you get that tacked on first. We have the situation covered.

Starfleet Retiree ( Moon ) > :: smiles and proceeds away with his cane in hand ::

Alright, alright. Should we head out once it's installed? (edited)

:: Sighs:: Alright....fine...

Probably but call once it is. The situation may have changed by then.

Understood. Manticore out.

:::Takes a PADD, taps in her chase::

Someone just tried to assassinate the Federation President. Looks like it was thwarted.

They need to put a rush on that module.

Starbase (Redacted) will no doubt have more time for us, now

::reads an update on the FNN story:: Looks like they quashed the attempt and got the guy. Good job, Kansas.

:: Takes a seat, looking around the office :: I see... well let's hope it really was thwarted...

::stands then turns and looks over at Pilot:: See if you can get a ping on the convoy. I'd like to know how far it's out.

:: wonders about the all call on the President...hope this whole war thing doesn't get worse ::

::taps on his console:: Aye sir!

::looks over at Bren:: Yeah hopefully the engineers can work faster.

::puts a map on the viewscreen showing the convoy and their current position::

I wouldn't be surprised if we were behind this somehow. ::is referring to the Dominion as a whole:: If the Order were still around I doubt it would have failed.

::shows her PADD to the person next to her on the bridge, talking about the story::

::reads latest update on assassination attempt story, nods, closes article, and opens medical journal::

:::Heads back to the President:: Sir... are you alright?

Well unfortunately I have to take the next transport to Monac IV. Are you two good?

::back in the greenroom in the conference center; still shaken up but feeling better seeing all the security around::

Dr. Tevek

::grabs the PADD with the pertinent information on it and stands up::

:: Nods :: Good? No... I am... I don't even know... but I should head to the Intelligence Center...

::Kneels down infront of the Pres:: I'm sorry I was slow on the draw Sir

::feels better seeing Kansas back:: I am, thank you so much. I haven't been that scared since the changeling scare back on Earth. I had hoped I wouldn't feel that way again.

James Ryan (Moon) > :: looking around intently...his phaser pistol is out still though he stands near the president and Kansas ::

I need a refill today feels like it is going to be stressful. +Security+ Return to normal operations.

::places his hand on her shoulder:: You did magnificent, Commander. You truly saved my life. And I am grateful.

I never want you to feel fear while I am around

"I do not believe the order is gone."

::goes to refill his raktajino::

Kansas Kenickie (Moon)

I never want you to feel fear while I am around

((Tres romantique!))

can I get you a drink of water? ::Smiles to help him relax::

I believe you will both do fine in your new assignments, keep me apprised of anything you think is important, remember the only communications that are secure are between us in person, nothing sensitive over text or view channels.

9:55 PM

Oh believe me, the Order is definitely gone, with Military Intelligence in control things are worse than ever.

((In the next episode, we learn that Kansas and Jaresh-Inyo were a couple waaay back in the day. Does the old flame still burn? Does McFly kill the President himself to eliminate the rival for his love's affections? On the next, Love Ship))

lol

It'll have to wait for next week Bren

I would Like to thank Calli for her help tonight

speaking of next week.....

10:01 PM

np KS

and the week after (edited)

I'm free in the evenings, personally

I think I should be ok as well

I don't do anything for New Years but sit at home and listen to my police scanner

I'll be working so I'm free lol

I should be free..

I'll be here

I'll be around

I'll be up both times

I might not be able to make it next week, but can make it on New Year's

( I must depart take care folks be safe )

I'll be here for New Years too!

I should be around for both

Well I forgot to ask it but you guys didn't, so looks like we're simming christmas and new years.

10:03 PM

Later cali

We can have the EMH sub for you Tevek

NIte Cali

And no worries on anyone that can't make it.

10:03 PM

Except for Tevek. YOU'RE OUR ONLY DOCTOR!

10:04 PM

Bah, EMH is a douche

1

Just make an EMH bot with the appropriate photo of Robert Picardo

He keeps trying to get me to come in for a physical but I KNOW he's trying to conduct experiments.

10:05 PM

TBS will be 4 hours. I'll post a log this week about the convoy.

McFly

?

KK

10:05 PM

And go ahead and pre-type your question Bren.

When you get a moment can you email me about how to make a Bot. I want to make one for Karl.. but I can't figurte it out from our last chat about it

Yep. I'll do that.

10:06 PM

Bren!

(:D) What is the significance of the convoy tag on the view-screen? Like, the signal was lost, so it disappeared? Or they left radar range...?

Karl bot

1

Yay! A Friend!!

2

I'm thinking the convoy got blown to kingdom come...

1

I feel like its the kind of thing I'd have understood visually but not getting the written description

The tag should have been visible all the way to its destination. If it disappears then something happened. They wouldn't just turn their transponder signal off. Think of it like a ship at sea that is required to have its transponder on so other ships nearing it can see it.

Got it, thank you

Alright, anything else?

TBS?

TBS is 4 hours.

10:11 PM

Alright, if nothing else then allow me to explain to you this low cost vacation alternative on the Lunar Colony! With views you can only get from the moon we offer fun getaway for the entire family! ...DISMISSED!!!

Goodnight!

Goodnight and good week all yall

Tomorrow is gonna suck. I've got recertification for Baton/OC/handcuffs at 0800, and I get off work at 0600. It's gonna be a long day/night.

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

Between 12/17/2023 9:08 PM and 12/17/2023 10:19 PM

MISSION BRIEF; We last found our intrepid crew having a meeting. Very exciting! At the meeting they were discussing various issues regarding their current mission to discover what had become of the people using the missing mining equipment. That part had been straightforward as they had found the miners murdered in what appeared to be a shootout with some third party who had also absconded with any of the product of the illicit mine.

Rex> Frowning and mentally considering where a Merkocite processing enrichment facility might be nearby

“So, we’re searching for amateurs with an AQS unit, that haven’t killed themselves yet? Do I have that right?”

Irene> Reclining with a padd in her hands. "Given Romulan tech, we might not have to worry long, in that case."

Well that's one possibility, yes. But first they'd need to enrich the Merkocite, they weren't doing it here.

“Fair”

:: Listening ::

"So, where would you do that at? Don't tell me they stole an orbital refinery, too."

“That would be weird.”

ACTION> The Red Alert klaxons sound.

9:15 PM

Clark> +Science Lab+ Bridge to Science, Captain you better get up here.

9:15 PM

Frowns visably It's always something.

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Stands quickly.:: Looks as though we're going to table this discussion...

“When it rains it pours.”

9:16 PM

taps the table

Irene> She jumps at the red alert noise, nearly falling out of her chair. "...they stole an orbital refinery, didn't they?" (edited)

Rex> Tenses and heads towards the doors and lifts

William gets up and heads to the lifts.

Irene follows after them.

Casts a glance at Jalen before heading to the bridge

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Follows the Captain, frowning for once.::

ACTION> Through the magic of a quick cut screen, the group all arrives on the bridge via the same turbo lift where they arrive to find the expected lowered main lighting and flashing reds.

9:19 PM

Report.

William takes his station and looks out the view screen.

Clark> We've been actively scanning for signs of cloaked vessels, Captain and...

Irene is a few steps behind, heading for Science.

ACTION> At that moment a shimmer on the view screen appears, the tell-tell sign of a decloaking vessel.

“Damn cloaks.”

Rex> Already at the tactical panel Romulan short-range interceptor, but a new class I haven't seen before. They're not powering weapons, that I can tell.,

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Checks his chair's console, still standing.:: Which is a good sign... for now. I wondering if they're searching for a pilfered AQS.

:: Seated on the bridge watching ::

“Has anyone tried saying hi?”

Tips his head Open hailing frequencies.

9:24 PM

Clark> Glances nervously to Val Channel open sir.

9:25 PM

+Romulan Vessel+ Unidentified Romulan vessel, this is Captain Asher Swain of the USS Excalibur. Please identify yourself and state your reason for entering, uninvited, into Federation space.

9:25 PM

Lowly so only Jalen can hear I swear to god if it's an N'Dak I will shoot the damn thing out of the sky.

(( It’s Always an N’Dak in the Federation ))

Val> Looks over at Clark, then goes back to intently staring at her console.

“All systems are live and ready Captain.”

$Corizon> The white-haired, dog-eared former captain of the Excalibur alongside a younger Romulan officer in a slightly different, but still very obviously military uniform appears on the screen. Captain Swain, apologies for the theatrics.

“Isn’t that the old captain two variations ago?”

Tries to hide his surprise, but is unlikely to do so very well. Glances to Jalen,

((I have no clue if that sentence correctly parses.))

Irene> She just looks confused.

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Lifts an eyebrow at Swain.::

Corizon> This is Erei'Riov Vaener Tanak of the Tal'Dian. I'll explain more once we've come aboard... he paused I am transmitting my clearance codes now. I hope you don't mind if I beam myself to your ready room?

“Bold”

It took Asher what probablly seemed like forever to fully comprehend all of that, but looks to Jalen with an unspoken request to check the clearence

9:34 PM

Clark> Was staring down at his console as to avoid making a face

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Clears throat, tugging on his uniform, but nods slightly as he checks the code.::

Rex> Narrowing his eyes, he clicked over the security code and scanned the ship.

9:35 PM

+Corizon+ Alright. I'll see you in my ready room then.

:: Yawns :: "This is not boring."

Corizon> Smiles fangily and cuts the comm

“Bizarre” (edited)

At least it wasn't an N'Dak.

Cdr Jalen Stanton> At least... No, just a former Captain of this vessel taking liberties.

9:36 PM

Cdr Jalen Stanton> Which is worse?

Irene> "With Romulans?"

“I thought we’ve been through two separate space frames since he was captain.”

How much do you know about Corizon? It was rhetorical.

9:37 PM

Rex> Two individuals just transported into your ready room, sir.

9:38 PM

Jalen Let's go. Choxox, Rex, Mincine scan the out of that ship.

“Of course.”

Irene> Glances over at the ready room door. "With pleasure." She practically spits out and gets to work.

Cdr Jalen Stanton> Never a dull moment. ::Follows Swain, steeling himself for more surprises.::

Enters the ready room where he finds Corizon at least not sitting in his chair as he expected, but instead standing looking out the window while the tall, almost stereotypical Romulan officer stood akwardly

9:41 PM

Vaener> Captain. His tone was something close to groveling, and if Asher or Jalen noticed it, he was blushing a light green.

“Do you think other ships have these kind of shenanigans?”

Rex> Glances over to Chocox and Mincine Tal'Dian now that's a twist.

Irene> "And we just... let them beam into the ready room?"

Rex> Smirks No, but you would be bored on any other ship, Will.

9:43 PM

Rex> Military intelligence. Not exactly the Tal'Shiar.

“Only slightly.”

Irene> "Nobody's gone wrong overestimating Romulan deviousness."

Corizon> See I told you Civet, they wouldn't shoot us on sight.

9:45 PM

Looks to Jalen with one of those, "they don't pay me enough."

9:45 PM

Rex> What you think Corizon is a faaaaaakkkkeeeee?"

Cdr Jalen Stanton> Starfleet ships normally don't. Unless things have changed since you were a Starfleet Captain? (edited)

Vaener> Blushes a deeper shade of green.

Irene> "It's been known to happen, hasn't it?"

“Yes”

Captain, can we skip to the part where you tell me what in the hell you're doing showing up here in a Romulan ship?

9:48 PM

Rex> Smirks I am scanning the ship. I've never seen an interceptor of this configuration. It must be a new design.

9:49 PM

Corizon> Smiles, fangily I've always appreciated your directness Asher. Commander Stanton, I don't believe we've had the pleasure.

Cdr Jalen Stanton> Definitely not. I'd remember. ::Dryly.::

Val> "Haven't seen a Romulan ship this small since the Dominion War. Maybe they learned somethin' from Dominion fighter craft."

“Anything interesting on scans?”

Corizon> Smirks Do you mind if I make myself a drink? He didn't wait and headed to the small bar where Asher kept the real booze and started mixing something As I said, this is Erei'Riov Tanak of the Tal'Dian. His code name is Civet and that just seems easier to me but...

9:52 PM

Asher> Erei'Riov

Irene> "You wanna be more specific? It's a new Romulan design, there's a lot of interesting things." She's cataloguing them all with every scanner the ship has.

“What pops out to you?”

Corizon> Rolls his eyes out of sight of Swain but returns to the conversation with a drink in hand. Of course the man could find the good whiskey without asking.

9:53 PM

Rex> Tactically its packing more of a punch than I'd expect for a craft the size of a runabout.

Irene> "It's like they took a Defiant and squished it down, but kept all the weaponry."

“Impressive.”

Corizon> The Tal'Dian is the intelligence wing of the Galae, the military inteilligence. They contacted us a few weeks ago and asked us to look into some, well, strange .

9:55 PM

Rex> We should run its energy signature against the damage on the outpost.

“Good idea.” William starts typing away.

I know what the Tal'Dian is, Captain. He moved to take his seat behind his desk and looked at Jalen.

Cdr Jalen Stanton> What sort of strange... ness? ::Looking to the Romulan officer.::

Val> Looking over the readout of the Romulan ship. "I don't know. That thing's built for ship-to-ship combat. It's not a landing craft."

Vaener> Looking somehow even more uncomfortable, he took a deep breath. We've been tracking unusual shipments to colony worlds on the outskirts, especially near Breen space. Advanced medical imaging equipment being sent to planets without advanced medical facilities, sensor and communication array components for planets without them, thing s like that.

9:59 PM

Corizon> We tracked some high-end energy conversion stuff to a planet on colony on Teral IV.

10:00 PM

Corizon> That's where I came in. I helped Civet here inflitrate a water-treatment facility where the stuff was being off-loaded.

10:00 PM

Vaener> Winces

10:01 PM

Rex> That doesn't look like any of the normal cloaking devices I've seen either, does it to you Will? Much smaller.

Cdr Jalen Stanton> Pirates?

“Oh yeah, much much smaller.”

Corizon> If only, that would be a welcome change.

10:04 PM

Vaener> We weren't able to positively identify them he had summoned up the courage for the mild corrective but we believe....

10:04 PM

Corizon> Tal'Shiar operatives most likely.

Irene> "Small ship, small area to cloak, smaller cloaking device. Pretty scary that they got them that small, though."

Rex> Very helpful of the Sub-commander thumbs towards the ready room to let us just scan that bad boy, then.

Cdr Jalen Stanton> Tal'Shiar... rogue operatives / former operatives? Or current agents operating under the government's nose?

Corizon> Great questions. The Tal'Dian is a little he glanced to Vaener hesitant to go to the mat with any of this just yet, but I can't see how they're putting together this kind of an op without official support at least with the Tal'Shiar.

Irene> "Oh, I'm sure sensor data on that thing is part of whatever deal they're cooking up in there."

Vaener> Frowns, but doesn't interject

Cdr Jalen Stanton> And what's their purpose? Destablization? A payday?

Corizon> Anyway, they were using the water treatment facility as a cover to put together a Merkocite enrichment facility. I won't insult you any further as to why we're points to Vaener here.

10:10 PM

Corizon> Grins and points to Jalen with his drink. I like him Asher. That's what we don't know, yet. We'd hoped to find the people wildcatting Merkocite in the act and... ask them a few questions, but well looks like someone beat us here, huh?

::still looking around, not sure why they didn't just send some ensigns for this:: (edited)

OK, I've got it set up. We should evacuate to a safe distance and tell the Arc to fire.

let's go back to the beam site

9:34 PM

::starts walking back::

::follows::

:: Looks:: "Going back already?"

unless you'd rather be lasered by the arc

We're using orbital phaser strikes to get a bit deeper.

come on, natell, do you want to be in the cold any longer than we need to be?

"I was just getting used to it."

::waits for the others to catch up::

:: Matching pace with the others ::

::still following::

+arc+ arizhel to arc. we've located the prospective site for the orbital laser

9:42 PM

+arc+ we're out of range, the beacon is placed, ready whenever you are

+Arizhel+ we're ready. What drilling depth and width of the beam? (edited)

+Arc+ Twenty-two aught six ought to do it.

9:45 PM

((I have no idea what that means, just sounds engineery))

+Dana+ Firing now....

9:46 PM

ACTION> A beam of light comes down from orbit, vaporizing lots of ice and rock and all around making a nice light show

9:46 PM

ACTION> the beam starts refracting off something at the bottom of the hole, then stops

9:47 PM

+Dana+ Fire control reports that there's feedback in the beam. You're going to have to investigate before we dig any farther

was that supposed to happen?

Not sure. Mining isn't my specialty.

9:48 PM

+Arc+ We'll investigate. Dana out.

well, you got your wish, Natell. we get to explore the crater some more!

9:49 PM

::starts walking back to it:: (edited)

This kind of anomaly is what Science officers live for, no?

ACTION> the small planetary wind blows away most of the dust, vapor and ice

9:50 PM

ACTION> leaving a nice, clean phaser hole in the planet's surface

Something odd and refractive on an unexplored planet...

((the AT))

"What went wrong?"

I have no idea. is dilithium usually reflective?

9:52 PM

take whatever scans you think would be helpful to figure out what we're dealing with

That's what we need you to find out, honestly.

9:53 PM

You're the one who'd know about exotic alien minerals that could be refracting the beam.

"Could have been refraction and reflections."

((anyone gonna look down?))

::walks up to the edge of the hole and looks in::

"Minerals are rather universal for the most part. What can differ is there distribution."

9:57 PM

"We should get some images."

ACTION> at the bottom of the hole is a translucent crystalline surface roughly shaped like the upper side of a cylinder

OK, that's not like any mineral I've ever seen.

looks like a structure to me

9:58 PM

::scans it::

Jasad, is it normal for crystals to form in big, even chunks like that?

((hurry up, 2 min left...))

"No it is not. Perhaps someone has an artificial process to form so evenly."

::scanning crystal:: Is it safe to approach you think?

i think so, assuming it's not radioactive

10:00 PM

i'll go first just in case

Who'd just leave a giant crystal on a rogue planet?

10:01 PM

Just be careful with phasers...it seemed to cause problems with the Arc's.

it's a present

Crystal> :: is made of a mixed variety of crystalline structures, including dilithium ::

happy birthday, dana!

10:01 PM

we got you some dilithium

Alright, so, just a reminder, it's been two years since we last saw our characters and we're on the new Manticore B. There's some upgrades but overall she looks a lot of the same. For anyone that has a fun idea to incorporate into the new ship, let me know and we'll see if it's something to put in or not.

Captain's log, Stardate 52312.11. We're arriving to Starbase REDACTED again. Finally, we're ending this long ass shake down cruise. They said it's because they're putting in new tech into an old shell and wanted to make sure everything worked properly. I just think Jaffee wanted us out of the way for a while. ::scratching can be heard on the recording:: And these damned uniforms are so itchy. Why do they keep changing these things?! Ugh, anyway...

Between 12/1/2023 9:07 PM and 12/1/2023 10:05 PM

As for tonight, we left off having a strange freefloating light dash through our portal into our dimension. The Captain has ordered a hasty retreat before the other two "lights" try anything.

::working in the med bay::

All hands, back through the portal.

::at yellow alert, getting scans/tracking on the thing that came through the portal::

ACTION: The one light is zipping all around the settlement

::helps preparing the med bay just in case with the yellow alert::

:: Gets his stuff he can carry :: "No arguement here."

::kinda confused about what to tell the security team to do to...a moving light. But they're prepped anyhow.::

::grabs as much of her equipment and mad-dashing through the portal:: Copy that!

"Anyone feel a tingle?"

ACTION: Security officers on the away team take position as they help usher everyone through.

::hopes things go well with the portal::

::sees that just about everyone is through::

::sensors indicating team members going back through the portal::

::enters a code to scramble the portal on this side's computer memory, the jumps through.:::

9:17 PM

::stumbles into their original dimension::

:: Flies through the portal ::

::flips open her tricorder::

+AT+ Command center to away team. Status?

::starts checking the away team::

:: tumbles out ::

+CC+ we're all back. Do we have a trace on that object?

+Sylf+ A trace is a good way to describe it. It's all over the place. We're at yellow alert. Security is... standing by. Trying to do scans of it, but it won't exactly sit still long enough to get any kind of fix on it, nor is the path predictable enough for the scan to stay with it.

+CC+ keep at it. we'll try and triangulate out scans from the ground.

+Sylf+ Will do.

::nijil, mimi:: spread out and see what we can pick up.

9:23 PM

::spot the light zipping around in the distance:::

"If it emits a unique signature we can track it."

Everyone is fine ::nods and starts scanning::

I am mostly picking up it's trail rather than any actual central mass or point of origin.

9:25 PM

there it goes again .::takes off in that direction::

:: Goes off to scan for the light ::

+CC+ I am really regretting not bumping up locate force field emitters to a higher priority on the build schedule.

+Sylf+ Hindsight.

ACTION> The light suddenly stops over one of the storage containers used for science samples.

+Sylf+ Hard to say what would happen with what is apparently energy crashing into a force field, though. Could bring the whole field down. Could destroy it. And we don't really know if it's sentient yet.

:: to no particular person :: "Maybe it's just me." :: Feels herself as if static is flowing through her fur ::

+CC+ that's why i have not ordered anyone to open fire yet.

::sci scanning like mad while it's actually stationary::

:: turns to the light :: "What's it doing?"

::scan,scan.scan::

::sees that it's stationary and scans it::

::has a cup of tea, while things are still calm::

it's emitting sometype of energy downward.

9:34 PM

it may be scanning, if that's not somehow related to it's levitation or propulsion.

9:35 PM

::tricorder starts beeping::

9:36 PM

ACTION> An energy signal begins to grow from within one of the storage containers under the light

::sci station beeping rather loudly::

"What's in that case?"

+AT+ Getting an energy signal response to the light from inside the container. checking for the manifest.

9:38 PM

+AT+ Mineral samples.

ACTION> energy signal is growing

+AT+ Think this thing has some kind of rock-eggs?

9:40 PM

+AT+ As a very rudimentary hypothesis

9:40 PM

+AT+ Energy signal is increasing.

"Eggs?... crap."

+CC+ Possibly? but i don't like this power curve.

::watching and scanning::

(Rock omelettes sounds good)

+AT+ Can't say I do either, but I'm no scientist.

(singing in my head a certain B52 song, with slightly different lyrics now)

"Should we open the case?"

::slowly moving towards the crates::

9:45 PM

::glancing towards the light as she nears the case, which seems to leaking smoke at the moment::

9:46 PM

::reads the label from the case:: these are samples we got from the cave we explored.

9:47 PM

::reaches a hand out:: ah, it's hot. ::nijil:: give me a hand.

:: nods and helps ::

::looking around for a prybar or something to wedge the lid open without burning her hand::

"That's a lot of heat."

::finds a thermal blanket in another crate, wraps her hands::

9:50 PM

and it's increasing.

9:50 PM

Ready?

"Yeah, this might hurt a bit."

9:51 PM

"Let me. Rihan's have a higher level of tolerance."

Okay. ::hands the thermal blanket over:: though you're frequent trips to medical should warn me otherwise.

((heheheheh))

::watching the whole thing unfold::

:: nods and places the blanket on the sample case ::

better open it before the latches melt.

:: Goes to open the case :: "Grrr, it's hot and sealed tight...."

ACTION > smoke and a bright light escape out of the case

9:59 PM

::scanning:: power is still increasing and i

9:59 PM

and i'mm getting some complex patterns in there.

:: Falls back on his butt as whatever was in the case pushed him to the dirt ::

::walks over to Sylfaen:: what kind of complex patterns

:: Picks himself up, dusts himself off ::

Unsure, but it's like soemthing in unfolding.

10:01 PM

and, oh uh.

10:01 PM

!pause

...the bot is really tired.

...yah.

::freeze frame::

anyway, thanks everyone.

10:02 PM

any questions?

None here

then, Dismissed and goonight all.

Nope.

10:04 PM

Nighters all

USS Arcadia - Wednesdays 10 ET - Command Staff: Captain Lo'Ami

Between 11/29/2023 9:05 PM and 11/29/2023 10:04 PM

New plot tonight... a sufficiently long TBS between the end of the last plot and this one to allow resolution of all unresolved plot elements

makes sense

Arcadia continues its exploration mission just outside of Federation space. A long range probe detected a rogue planet between two star systems. We are tasked with investigating

9:07 PM

Any sim-related questions?

none here

same

ok then...

::monitoring systems at engineering console on bridge::

::scanning for ships at the sec console::

:: At her post ::

Ens Howell> :: sure glad he's not on the bridge ::

9:12 PM

ETA to the rogue planet?

thirty minutes, sir

9:15 PM

I have not detected any ships in the area

The long range probe report indicated that it is close to the size of earth, but completely frozen and its atmosphere has either solidified or sublimated. There were also traces of metals below the ice, and a possible dilithium signature, making it a possible target for a remote mining operation.

is the worry that they are smuggling? or creating enemy ships? or something else

No indications of ships near the planet, so we don't think anyone else has found it yet

(("Rogue planet" == planet without a sun))

((oh))

9:17 PM

((d'oh))

If the Federation mines it first, we could claim rights to its mineral deposits, which could introduce a new element to the economy of the nearby Sigma Tau sector.

I'm certainly glad not to be stationed on that mining outpost.

The core is still radioactively hot, so, we estimate that it got ejected from its planetary system less than a billion years ago, though the long range probe could not determine exactly when it happened.

You'd have to switch out teams pretty frequently or find people who don't require sunlight

9:20 PM

((or hire vampires))

We will of course need an away team. With your luck as chief engineer, you're going to evaluate the planet for suitability for mining. Ens Natell will lead the planetary science team. And, Cmdr Arizhel, you will provide security in case someone else does try to stake a claim while we're down there.

:: Looking at the scans ::

this is a nice place to start a war for some rocks

Yes sir!

9:25 PM

Also, as long as I don't have to stay there, I'm fine.

Dilithium keeps the starships going. Until we find some way to replicate it, it's still a valuable resource with only natural sources.

9:26 PM

Of course, you will need full EVA suits.

::is glad she recently did combat practice in a full EVA suit::

9:27 PM

Should we be ready to go as soon as we're in range?

I'd recommend going for the harsh environment model, since it's going to be chilly down there.

((Do we even have budget for those?))

The surface temperature will be a chilly -250C.

9:30 PM

If you need orbital drilling into the ice, the ship's phasers will be available.

"it channels the matter and anti-matter streams..."

Should we do some orbital scans to find promising landing sites before we set out?

9:32 PM

I don't want to hike all over a rogue planet looking for the one bit of dilithium.

Yes, of course.

9:32 PM

Science should have the results of the long range probe's scans. It should at least give us a head start

hopefully we won't have to drill through too much ice

:: Compiling the scan results ::

Perform short range scans as we get closer to augment the probe results

"I can give you the results we have now."

The planet may have been a class M water world at some point, any rocky surface you see was probably a mountain back then

Anything good in there?

(( we should be getting there, right?))

"It's very old and was knocked out of it's star system."

::flips through results:: There seem to be a couple of places that are potentially stable enough for mining operations that are potentially mineral-rich.

9:47 PM

It's hard to know until we get orbital scans.

Eta 5 minutes

9:50 PM

should I go suit up or do you need me scanning until we pick a site, sir?

"Shall I stay here or go?"

and we're in range, hopefully the scans should help decide which site to start with

::looking at scan outputs:: We've got a strong contender already...this was probably a major mountain range before the atmosphere froze.

Less ice covering it?

Much less

Good enough to land at?

I'd say so, there's exposed rock and some proper mineral deposits.

Let's try that location first

10:00 PM

Suit up and prepare for EVA

We have been monitoring your recent mission with intense interest. I have been working with the Federation Council indirectly and with the Consul General personally.

::looks to A9 quietly::

We mourn your losses and grieve for your dead... but the Manticore skillset in this room is too valuable to be benched for long.

::looks somewhat unmoved::

::turns and looks at Harnett in the most Klingon way:: They blew her out of the sky...it would only be right to return the favor.

There are no more Nebulas being built. So, uhh, don't break this one, hmm?

you had commsioned me to Protect A9 at all cost I did so... I just stayed behind after he left

Literally the last one? Wow. ::hopes they don't break it so soon::

Captain, I know you've always had a fixation for the Sovereign class, but this is what I could get you. And it IS new

Of course. And we've take that into consideration. However, with more recent actions we deem it the best case to reassign you to something that fits your talents better than a starship assignment.

:: Shakes his head slowly at E.J. , listening to the Admiral ::

::listens to the admiral as well::

I-I... I mean... not even an Akira?

I have done well on a starship

I MEAN-... thank you

The module has some beefed-up ordnance, as we think you might just need it and definitely WANT it

::smiles but says nothing::

::nodding at the beefed up ordnance comment::

Oh thank goodness. I was hoping it wasn't one of those science Nebulas. (edited)

There you go, Matt. I knew you'd get there eventually

Hm, I was going to ask if she was the same or any different from the previous Manticore. (edited)

::listening to the admiral, wondering if there have been any updates to sickbay as well::

:: Catches Faldek's eye, smiles and nods ::

::chooses her words carefully:: We feel the confinment of a starships command structure may not be in your best interest.

Admiral, If I may ask a question?

::Looks down:: Am I going back under?

::looks to Calli::

We have learned a lot over the last five years with the Illus technology and adapted some of it to the "B" - we just hope it will work

We're looking to reassign you to Presidential security for the Federation President. You yourself acknowledge your role in protecting Admiral Atragon-9. We feel this best suits your talents.

(oooh)

:: turns to Callista :: Of course

land locked?!

::looks at Callista::

::looks at Callista, listening::

I, uh, I honestly don't know what to say. I'm amazed they didn't put us on a garbage scowl.

::notices that KK is not present::

Not specifically. You go where the President goes.

Sorry all,

I have never been one for babysitting

Has Starfleet developed an effective counter to the Dominion weaponry that cost us the Manticore A? Sir, with all due respect...their weaponry cut right through our shields....Is there a new system in place on the B?

:: Watches and listens ::

And what do you call the Admirals protection?

:: gulps :: Thank you sir.

A9 wasn't an old man that needed shadowing

That... is left to be seen. We like to think we have the upper hand with some of this tech, but there's just so much you can know for sure from theory.

Commander, this is a prestigious honor. I'm surprised at your reaction.

Understood Sir. Thank you sir. :: the injured Lieutenant replies curtly ::

Admiral Atragon-9

That... is left to be seen. We like to think we have the upper hand with some of this tech, but there's just so much you can know for sure from theory.

((Watched some Oppenheimer eh?

))

:: Ponders to himself, he was hoping to be sent back to Utopia Planitia ::

It doesn't feel like an honor... it feels like I am being put in the corner

::watching Callista, notes her response to the Admiral::

::ponders what other surprises the new ship has::

You are to be the last line of defense for the President. To get to him, they would have to get through you. I'm confident that won't be the case.

Well, an Admiral's job is never done - wait, is that the saying? - anyway, if there are no other questions, I am needed elsewhere

:: is still uncertain about her future...she tried unsucessfully to keep the Manticore A from going down in Main Engineering.....will she actually serve on this new Manticore?? ::

You put in your time and, uhh, keep the Prez alive, and you can do whatever you want after that. Your own ship, no problem, your own platoon, easy

::Looks out of the window of the briefing room at Earth spinning below::

I can't believe we have another ship. Yeah I hope she has some upgrades. Our last one was showing her age.

9:47 PM

::looks at Faldek:: Your guess is as good as mine. I haven't been told anything.

You can parlay this into anything you want it to be, truly

It'd be interesting to see what kind of upgrades it has.

I feel like I am loosing something by being here... McFly knows and he said nothing to me

Especially after that whoopin we received in short order by those small ships...

Maybe you're going to be the aid of the Admiral.. ::to Faldek::

:: walks over next to Annika :: I wanted to thank you for all the fun times we had on the A . The best memories from the old ship.

Maybe a Cetacean OPS?

I guess that is a sign right there

I am not adjutant material.

As I understand it, this is something above his pay grade

9:48 PM

and doesn't that just burn his shorts, eh?

::looks over to Calli:: No problemo. It was fun for me as well.

::grins::

Yeah, the Dominion. I've never seen them out that far.

::lower:: could be Section 31...

we could stand to learn from Whales.

Nobody has Captain.

::nods:: We sure can.

::Smiles:: I guess the Prez doesn't sit on Earth the whole time

:: Walks over, listening ::

:: Sitting there, reaching out for Violet's location ::

it has to be easier then watching over you

Hell no, you get to coordinate all travel and have the pick of ships for his detail - just not my last Nebula

:: talks quietly with Annika :: Did the Admiral absolve the crew then and there? There will be no hearings?

Think of me as your worst case

I don't think so. I'm sure he would've said something if there still was.

I had fun watching over you

I enjoyed my Overwatch

Plus it is better then teaching

I guess that would be a benefit of being in SpecOps.

But things move on and up and forward!

:: Violet and Gila were walking around, taking in the sites ::

It'd make sense -- we Manticore people need to look out for each other. Anyway, that's what I hope at least!

I guess I don't get a promotion with this placement

I wonder if we'll have time to recouperate down on Earth?

:: gently puts her hand on Annika's :: I'm not certain I am ready for a new ship yet. I'm still processing the events I witnessed a week ago.

Hey look, this is all raw for you now. I'm at the base here for another 2-3 days. Think it over, get drunk, weigh your options, get drunk again - come see me before you ship out!

::gently squeezes her hand back:: As am I... that's why I'm hoping they'll let us go down to Earth. If we do, you can visit me down in San Diego.

No, you stay Commander for this - but you may get a field promotion at the end. Depends on where you go next!

I don't think I have a choice

I have to wear these Dermaplastic Grafts to make certain I don't get any scars...

Well, you could quit Starfleet, but that's not really a choice for you, hmm?

For how much longer? Do you know?

I could be a hand for hire

9:55 PM

::Place her hand on her chin::

Yeah, but a civilian? You can't live in that world again, none of us can

They are trying their best...Annika...but ...I'm so ...selfish...I might not look the same..after they come off....:: her eyes start to moisten..::

it does make good money

Say what you will about the rules and structure, there's also things we do that NO ONE else gets to do

:: holds Annika's hand tighter while facing the viewport ::

but I wont be getting them done.. I will be standing around, waiting (edited)

::hugs Calli:: That's okay, you'll still be the same person inside.. besides those new bio dermal implants do look pretty convincing.

9:57 PM

::looks out at the view port with Calli::

That's right. This is the last part of your training package. It's time to be Zen about... being Zen.

:: hugs Annika :: Thank you sis....

Patience for now - pay off at the next stage

::looks at McFly:: Are we dismissed Captain?

Yeah, not a problem. We'll get through this, however long it takes.

:: wipes her eye quickly....:: Hmm...making a scene.. :: recovers and turns to face the others ::

::off in the distance:: Hmm, Oh yes yes

Thank you for coming to see me Admiral, I have missed our time together

Crew dismissed!

::nods and leaves::

as have I

:: Nods, leaving as well ::

:: nods and heads out the door with Annika ::

::turns around as well, hearing the captain:: Are we cleared to leave the space dock and return to Earth or do we have to stay here?

Process it, chew it up and talk with me again - if you want to

::nods and exits briefing room::

Aye sir

Ugh, tried to catch everyone in a lull in typing

NOBODY LEAVE... except Callista if she has to.

I am here..

::paused::

(( Oooh, do I get to promote someone?!!? ))

So first off, for some of you that are newer to Manticore, A9 is our former commanding officer of this sim.

:: Gets THE BOX ::

10:01 PM

:: waves ::

Damn dude. Gettin itchy for a stabbin

10:01 PM

Do I get to be on the stage this time?

I remember A9 from the AOL days

Down Faldek!

Ran Manticore for over 1,000 sims

::sad face, gets out the bloodstained tarp::

( clearly I had no life )

wow

(yes, i remember)

((who needs a life))

Second, this is the end of our plot and that means when we come back our characters will be two years into the future. When we come back, Manticore will have finished her shakedown cruise. And we will have grey uniforms!

ooooh

Two years is a long time so that also means...

10:03 PM

PROMOTIONS!!!

heh, GREY UNIFORMS!

ooh grey

(and logs)

Yay Grey uniforms!

Everyone gets a promotion! well almost everyone. ::looks at faldek::

:: gets out plastic poncho ::

::Pulls out an umbrealla

::looks over to Kansas:: This is a lot, we're going to need something bigger for this.

:::Hands it to Calli::

:: takes umbrella ::

:: notes the blood gutters in the floor around the sides of the room :: mmmm, efficient!

I will enjoy the Blood-letting

:: Hides ::

Take your stabbing like a Vulcan!

(( oh yeah, Harnett goes first! ))

(( Well, damn! ))

::breaks out a create and pulls out a large gatling gun looking thing:: This is the Pip Master 5000! The number one Federation pip popper guaranteed to blow holes in the neck of all your enemies!

:::Pullls Harnett forward:::

:: Gets pulled forward ::

you want to bite on my knife?

No, but thank you..

Everyone line up! @Bren Faliver ((Who's not here! I see you!)) and Erich Jaenke, you're Full Commanders.

Oooh, the 5000? I thought that one had pressure problems and was recalled?

Pilot, You're LT. Commander

:: Gasps ::

Callista, Annika, Harnett, you're Full Lt.

Nice

ty sir....

Tevek! You're Lt Jg.

10:08 PM

NOW LINE UP!!!

::lines up::

:::Lines them up::

(good night folks..must jet...)

::lines up::

Captain, can I do one for old-times sake?

:: Lines up ::

::Pushing them in order:::

Oh God, they're gonna do em all at once... ::hides under the tarp::

Callista Tyrel

(good night folks..must jet...)

Coward! ((Just joking. Have a good night!))

10:09 PM

::looks over to KK and then A9:: Would you care to do the honors for old times sake?

You can do the gun, I wanted to do one old school

:::Happpliy takes one:: Love tooo

10:11 PM

:::Stands infront of EJ::: Hold still.... this gun is still new

Well Admiral, I can't guarantee you won't get hit in the crossfire

Oh for the love of Kahless!

::::Pulls the trigger and shoots::

Ready, aim! Fire

10:12 PM

::hits annika in the eye:: Oops, forgot to calibrate the scope

:: grumbles and puts the rusty corkscrew pip back in his little tin box ::

Ouch!

::Winces::

Perfect!

::blood starts hitting the tarp, louder than rain::

::fires again at Erich this time except it's a blacked out pip:: Oops, wrong pip. Let me do that one again.

Doctor... your turn

::accidentally holds down the trigger and covers Erich in pips::

10:13 PM

Eh

::makes sure he has his medkit handy::

Admiral's Admiral?

:::Points and Presses trigger...... fires:::

::aims at Harnett; accidentally hits A9 in the ass::

10:14 PM

Sorry!

::covered in pips:

:: Good thing he is part exoskeleton suit - just a gentle fart and it drops to the floor ::

lol

'scuse me

:: Squints ::

((Petty Officer Sanchez))

::cranks up the power; aims at each individual; fires a pip at each of them and blows a hole in their necks; the blood hoses all over Faldek::

10:15 PM

I trust you can fix all that, Doctor.

:: Grabs at his neck ::

Good lord! It's wholesale murder out there!

::bleeds for the Federation and the Empire::

Meh, they'll be fine........... I think

Aw man I got blood on my boots.

Back in my day, we would do this personally. I remember washing the blood from my hands back in my quarters. Ah, those were the days

::notes the blood pouring out his own neck:: I need to heal myself first...

::puts down the gun:: Good times, good times.

10:16 PM

I needed something to do so many people quickly.

:: sighs :: You kids and your toys!

Alright. So, any questions about our two year time jump?

KK is still Chief of Security?

::peeks out from under the tarp, which has no blue left on one side:: It looks like Christmas...

Will we know what kind of upgrades there are to the new Manticore compared to the previous one?

Nope

Nope, she will be off on her new assignment.

I think KARL is

Wonder where Violet will be.. Hmm

Damnit Karl! How did he get there?!

Karl, nah. Is it Harnett?

Violets future is up to Erich.

10:18 PM

Sanchez probably.

Me? I'm OPS

Cadet Perhaps

Not if I have any say in it, Karl gonna be cleaning the latrines. (edited)

PO Sanchez, Security Chief

10:18 PM

LOL!!

Cadet in academy? She'd be 16 by then, iirc?

What Faldek said.

Hmm, perhaps not then

So I get more paperwork...I get it.

I recall seeing an ad for an upcoming Star Trek series centred around Starfleet Academy... I think it said one can enrol at 16. I need to find that Tweet (Xweet?)

Alright then. A couple more things. We will take next week off. Gives us a little break and you guys have extra time figuring out your characters. Feel free to write some LOGS!!

Copy copy.

Yes they are making a StarFleet Academy series set in the 32nd century where Discovery currently is.

I'm also updating my bio as well... Annika probably has acquired some new skills by then

Also, question about the holidays. Christmas and New Years is on a Monday. Do we sim?

10:20 PM

Should I wait to ask the week before?

Ladies and gentlebots, I am outta here. Fun to sim with you again after 5 years!!

I should be there, maybe? I think i'm ok either way.

10:21 PM

Good seeing you again A9

Bye A9 always great having you!

Thank you for coming A9

Thanks for coming in. Loved having you back. Both you and Sovak are welcome any time.

I work both days so, sure I'll be around.

cool cool cool

Bye A9! Thanks for coming!

Ladies and gentleman, give it up for Admiral Atragon-9!!

Yay

Hip Hip!

I am free to sim both days

I don't think I'd make a Christmas sim, but should be able to make New years.

1

MMmmm Men at Work... good Movie

Got a new picture of Faldek for y'all, him and his sexy self.

10:23 PM

We usually end up simming the holidays so I kind of expect we will be here. But I'll ask again the week before.

ok

Alright so, we jump two years into the future. We're off next week, nearly everyone got promoted, Karl is an ass... did I miss anything?

We're locking Karl up

10:24 PM

:p

Sounds peachy to me.

off next week? OK sounds good

Ha

Yes we're off next week

10:25 PM

glad I recapped.

lol yea

Now what am I going to do for my first hour at work? Like actually work? That's BS!

Watch an extra show?

Ha

OOOHHH You can write a log!!!

::gives McFly the evil eye::

I started one last night... then fell asleep

Yes. Maybe I will make a log with Harnett.

Alright, questions or comments?

10:27 PM

If nothing else then HOLYCRAPA9CAMEBACK!!!... Sorry that was fun for me. I set that up a while ago.

...DISMISSED!!!

WOO!

Feel free to ask me any questions if you need something clarified. Either email or I have discord on my phone so I'm reachable all the time.

::cheers::
